PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (hereinafter "Allstate
Life of New York" or the "Company") was incorporated in 1967 as a stock life
insurance company under the laws of the State of New York and was known as
"Financial Life Insurance Company" from 1967 to 1978. From 1978 to 1984, the
Company was known as "PM Life Insurance Company." Since 1984, the Company has
done business as "Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York." Allstate Life
of New York's products, individual annuities and life insurance, have been
approved by the State of New York.
Allstate Life of New York is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate
Life Insurance Company ("Allstate Life"), a stock life insurance company
incorporated under the laws of Illinois. Allstate Life is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company ("Allstate"), a stock property-
liability insurance company incorporated under the laws of Illinois. With the
exception of directors' qualifying shares, all of the outstanding capital stock
of Allstate is owned by The Allstate Corporation ("Corporation"). The
Corporation was capitalized in 1993 with the contribution of all of the
outstanding common stock of Allstate. Sears, Roebuck and Co. ("Sears") had
previously been the direct owner of all the common stock of Allstate. On June
9, 1993 the Corporation completed its initial public offering of 89,500,000
common shares. On June 30, 1995, Sears distributed its 80.3% ownership in the
Corporation to Sears common shareholders through a tax-free dividend.
Allstate Life of New York's and Allstate Life's general account assets
must be invested in accordance with applicable state laws. These laws govern
the nature and quality of investments that may be made by life insurance
companies and the percentage of their assets that may be committed to any
particular type of investment.
Allstate Life of New York is engaged in a business that is highly
competitive because of the large number of stock and mutual life insurance
companies and other entities competing in the sale of insurance and annuities.
There are approximately 2,000 stock, mutual and other types of insurers in
business in the United States. A.M. Best Company assigns Allstate Life of New
York the rating of A+(g). Under Best's rating policy and procedure, the Company
is assigned the Best's rating of its parent company, and is based on the
consolidated performance of the parent and its subsidiary. Standard & Poor's
Insurance Rating Services assigns an AA+ (Excellent) to the Company's claim
paying ability. Moody's Investors Service assigns an Aa3 (Excellent) financial
strength rating to the Company. The Company shares the same ratings of its
parent, Allstate Life Insurance Company.
Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate
the business of insurance, federal initiatives often have an impact on the
business in a variety of ways. Current and proposed measures which may
significantly affect the Company's insurance business relate to the taxation of
insurance companies and the tax treatment of insurance products and the removal
3
<PAGE>
of barriers preventing banks from engaging in the securities and insurance
business.
Allstate Life of New York is regulated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") as an issuer of registered products. The SEC also regulates
certain Allstate Life of New York Separate Accounts through which the Company
issues variable annuity contracts.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Allstate Life of New York occupies office space at One Allstate Drive,
Farmingville, New York 11738.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its Board of Directors know of no material legal
proceedings pending to which the company is a party or which would materially
affect the Company.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Allstate Life Insurance Company ("Allstate Life"). Allstate Life's outstanding
shares are owned by Allstate Insurance Company ("Allstate"). With the exception
of director's qualifying shares, all of the outstanding capital stock of
Allstate is owned by The Allstate Corporation ("Corporation"). The Corporation
was capitalized in 1993 with the contribution of all of the outstanding common
stock of Allstate. Sears, Roebuck and Co. ("Sears") had previously been the

Corporation to Sears common shareholders through a tax-free dividend.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following highlights significant factors influencing results of opera-
tions and financial position.
Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York ("the Company"), which is wholly
owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Parent") of Allstate Insurance Company
("Allstate"), markets life insurance and group and individual annuities in the
state of New York, with products consisting predominately of structured set-
tlement annuities sold through independent brokers. The Company also utilizes
Allstate agencies and direct marketing to distribute its traditional and uni-
versal life and accident and disability insurance products. Additionally,
flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts and certain single and
flexible premium annuities are marketed to individuals through the account ex-
ecutives of Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc.

(1) Fixed income securities included in invested assets are carried at
amortized cost in the table above and at fair value in the statements of
financial position.
(2) Separate Accounts are included at fair value.
STATUTORY PREMIUMS AND DEPOSITS
Statutory premiums, which include premiums and deposits for all products,
increased $63.4 million or 41.4% in 1995 from 1994. The increase is primarily
due to growth in sales of individual annuities, which comprised 77.3% of
statutory premiums and deposits in 1995. Increased sales of structured
settlement annuities in 1995 were partially offset by a decrease in the sales of
variable annuities. In 1994, statutory premiums decreased 32.6% from 1993
levels. The decrease was due primarily to lower sales of structured settlement
annuities.
PREMIUM INCOME, CONTRACT CHARGES AND PROVISION FOR POLICY BENEFITS
Premium income and contract charges under generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") increased 67.5% in 1995 and decreased 30.2% in 1994. Under
GAAP, revenues exclude deposits on most annuities and premiums on universal
life insurance policies. The changes in premium and contract charges in 1995
and 1994 reflect fluctuations primarily in the level of sales of structured
settlement annuities sold with life contingencies. Policy benefits increased
$60.6 million, or 44.1% during 1995, and decreased $38.2 million or 21.8% in
1994. These changes also reflect fluctuations primarily in the level of sales of
structured settlement annuities with life contingencies.
NET INVESTMENT INCOME
Pre-tax net investment income increased 7.7% in 1995 and was essentially
unchanged in 1994. The increase in 1995 was related to the 12.8% or $151.8
million increase in invested assets resulting primarily from growth in new
business, partially offset by surrenders and other benefits paid.
5
<PAGE>
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 9.1%, resulting from an
increase in amortization of deferred acquisition costs, partially offset by the
costs of an early retirement program recorded in 1994. The decrease of $10.5
million, or 32.9%, in 1994 operating expense is attributable to a decrease in
amortization of deferred acquisition costs, which were higher in 1993 as a
result of annuity contract surrenders.
In 1994, an after tax charge of $0.8 million related to the cost of an early
retirement program offered to certain home office employees was recorded. The
program provides one year of salary continuation and related benefits during
the salary continuation period, and an enhanced retirement benefit.
NET OPERATING INCOME
Net operating income increased 17.0% in 1995 from 1994, which in turn
increased 73.9% from 1993. The increase in net operating income in 1995 was
primarily due to higher margins and growth in revenues. The increase in 1994
over 1993 was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses.
REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES
Net realized capital losses were reported in 1995 as compared to net realized
capital gains in 1994. Capital losses in 1995 were realized primarily from
writedowns of mortgage loans, partially offset by gains on sales of fixed income
securities. Realized capital gains in 1994 decreased from gains realized in
1993. While the Company experienced lower asset writedowns in 1994, realized
capital gains from sales of securities and bond calls were also significantly
lower than the prior year. Realized capital gains in 1993 included the effect of
sales related to repositioning a portion of the investment portfolio to improve
the matching of assets with related liabilities.
FINANCIAL POSITION
INVESTMENTS
The Company follows an investment strategy that combines the goals of safety,
stability, liquidity, growth and total return. It seeks to balance preservation
of principal with after-tax yield while maintaining portfolio diversification.
The composition of the portfolio is the result of various interrelated
investment considerations including protection of principal, appreciation
potential, tax consequences, and yield, as well as asset/liability management
issues such as cash flow and duration matching. To achieve an economic balance
between assets and liabilities, the investment portfolios are segmented by type
of insurance product.
The composition of the investment portfolio at December 31, 1995 is pre-
sented in the table below (see Notes 2 and 6 to the financial statements for
investment accounting policies and additional information).

</TABLE>
FIXED INCOME SECURITIES
The Company generally holds its fixed income securities for the long term,
but has classified all of these securities at December 31, 1995, as "available
for sale" which are carried in the statement of financial position at fair
value, to allow maximum flexibility in portfolio management. At December 31,
1995, net unrealized capital gains on the fixed income securities portfolio
totaled $205.5 million compared to an unrealized capital loss of $11.5 million
as of December 31, 1994. The significant change in the unrealized gain/loss
position is primarily attributable to declining interest rates.
As of December 31, 1995, the fixed income securities portfolio included
$466.2 million or 30.2% of the portfolio invested in privately placed corporate
obligations, stated at fair value. Compared to public securities, private
placements generally afford the advantages of higher yields, improved cash flow
predictability through pro-rata sinking funds on many bonds, and a combination
of covenant and call protection features designed to better protect the holder
against losses resulting from credit deterioration, reinvestment risk, and
losses resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. The relative disadvan-
tages of private placements include the fact that the securities are generally
less liquid than public securities and that access to information regarding
privately placed securities is generally more restricted than for public secu-
rities. The Company determines the fair value of privately placed fixed income
securities based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates for sim-
ilar securities.
At December 31, 1995 the Company had $225.6 million or 14.6% of the portfo-
lio invested in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). These securities provide
higher-than-average credit quality and liquidity. The Company mitigates credit
risk primarily by purchasing securities with underlying collateral that is
guaranteed by U.S. government entities.
MBS are subject to risks associated with repayment of principal, which may
result in the securities having a different actual maturity and yield than an-
ticipated at the time of purchase. Securities that have an amortized cost
greater than par value, will incur a decrease in yield if mortgages repay
faster than expected. Those securities that have an amortized cost lower than
par value generate an increase in yield if mortgages repay faster than
6
<PAGE>
expected. The degree to which a security is susceptible to changes in yield is
influenced by the difference between its amortized cost and par value, the rel-
ative sensitivity to repayment of the underlying mortgages backing the
securities in a changing interest rate environment, and the repayment priority
of the securities in the overall securitization structure. The Company attempts
to limit repayment risk by purchasing MBS whose cost does not significantly
exceed par value, and with repayment protection to provide a more certain cash
flow to the Company. At December 31, 1995, the amortized cost of the MBS
portfolio was below par value by $8.1 million.
The Company closely monitors its fixed income portfolio for declines in value
that are other than temporary. Securities are placed on non-accrual status when
they are in default or when the receipt of interest payments is in doubt. The
total pretax provisions for losses attributable to fixed income securities for
1995, 1994 and 1993 were $2.4, $0.6 and $1.2 million, respectively.
The Company monitors the quality of its fixed income portfolio, in part, by
categorizing certain investments as problem, restructured or potential problem.
Problem fixed income securities as securities in default with respect to prin-
cipal and/or interest and/or securities issued by companies that went into
bankruptcy subsequent to acquisition of the security. Restructured fixed income
securities have modified terms and conditions that were not at current market
rates or terms at the time of the restructuring. Potential problem fixed income
securities are current with respect to contractual principal and/or interest,
but because of other facts and circumstances, management has serious doubts re-
garding the borrower's ability to pay future interest and principal, which
causes management to believe these securities may be classified as problem or
restructured in the future.
There were no problem and potential problem fixed income investments as of
December 31, 1995, compared to $7.0 million of potential problem fixed income
securities at December 31, 1994. The $7.0 million of potential problem fixed
income securities at December 31, 1994 related to a single security and has
been removed from the potential problem category due to its improved status.
FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS
As part of its asset/liability management, the Company generally utilizes
futures contracts to hedge its interest rate risk related to anticipatory
investment purchases as well as to enhance asset/liability management. The
Company does not hold or issue these instruments for trading purposes. At
December 31, 1995, the Company had $22.9 million in notional amount of futures
contracts outstanding, all of which mature within one year.
MORTGAGE LOANS
The Company's $86.4 million investment in mortgage loans at December 31, 1995
is comprised primarily of loans secured by first mortgages on developed,
commercial real estate. Geographical and property type diversification are key
considerations used to manage the Company's mortgage loan risk.
The Company closely monitors its commercial mortgage loan portfolio on a
loan-by-loan basis. Loans with an estimated collateral value less than the
loan's balance, as well as loans with other characteristics indicative of a
higher than normal credit risk, are reviewed by financial and investment man-
agement for purposes of establishing valuation allowances and placing loans on
non-accrual status. The underlying collateral values are based upon discounted
property cash flow projections, which are up-
7
<PAGE>
dated at least annually or as conditions change. The total pretax provisions
for loan losses were $2.2, $0.7 and $1.2 million, during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
The Company defines problem commercial mortgage loans as loans that are in
foreclosure, loans for which a principal or interest payment is over 60 days
past due, or are current with respect to interest payments, but considered in-
substance foreclosed. Restructured commercial loans have modified terms and
conditions that were not at prevailing market rates or terms at the time of
the restructuring. Potential problem commercial mortgage loans are current
with respect to interest payments, or less than 60 days delinquent as to con-
tractual principal and interest payments, but because of other facts and cir-
cumstances, management has serious doubts regarding the borrower's ability to
pay future interest and principal which causes management to believe these
loans may be classified as problem or restructured in the future.
At December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 total problem, restructured and
potential problem loans, net of valuation allowances, were $9.6 million and
$8.4 million, respectively. The net carrying value of impaired loans (see Note
6 of the financial statements) at December 31, 1995 was $9.6 million. All
problem, restructured and potential problem loans were considered to be im-
paired at December 31, 1995.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate Account balances increased 25.1% from $175.9 million at December 31,
1994 to $220.1 million at December 31, 1995 due to sales of flexible premium
deferred variable annuity contracts, transfers from fixed annuities to variable
annuities and favorable investment performance of the Separate Accounts,
partially offset by surrenders.
RESERVE FOR LIFE INSURANCE POLICY BENEFITS
The reserve for life insurance policy benefits increased 33.4% to $838.7
million at December 31, 1995, resulting primarily from the sales of structured
settlement annuities with life contingencies.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal source of funds consists primarily of premiums and
annuity deposits and collections of principal and income from the investment
portfolio. The Company generates substantial positive cash flows from operating
activities. The major use of these funds are policyholder claims and benefits,
contract maturities, surrenders and other operating costs.
FINANCIAL RATINGS AND STRENGTH
Liquidity for life insurance companies is measured by their ability to pay
contractual benefits, pay operating expenses and fund investment commitments.
Independent insurance industry rating organizations rate life insurance
companies based on their overall performance and ability to meet their
policyholder obligations over a long period of time. Such ratings are directed
toward the protection of policyholders, not investors. Claims-paying ability
ratings at December 31, 1995 assigned to the Company include AA+ and A+(g) from
Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best, respectively. In addition, Moody's assigned the
Company an Aa3 financial stability rating at December 31, 1995.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") has a standard
for assessing the solvency of insurance companies, which is referred to as
"risk-based capital" ("RBC"). The requirement consists of a formula for deter-
mining each insurer's RBC and a model law specifying regulatory actions if an
insurer's RBC falls below specified levels. The RBC formula for life insurance
companies establishes capital requirements relating to insurance risk, busi-
ness risk, asset risk and interest rate risk. At December 31, 1995, RBC for
the Company was significantly above levels which would require regulatory ac-
tion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDER OF
ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK:
We have audited the accompanying Statements of Financial Position of Allstate
Life Insurance Company of New York as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related Statements of Operations, Shareholder's Equity and Cash Flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. Our audits also
included Schedule IV - Reinsurance and Schedule V - Valuation and Qualifying
Accounts. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
Schedule IV - Reinsurance and Schedule V - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, in 1993 the Company changed
its method of accounting for investments in fixed income securities.

ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ IN THOUSANDS)
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (the "Company") is wholly owned
by a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Parent") of Allstate Insurance Company
("Allstate"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (the
"Corporation"). On June 30, 1995, Sears, Roebuck and Co. ("Sears") distributed
its 80.3% ownership in the Corporation to Sears common shareholders through a
tax-free dividend (the "Distribution").
The Company markets life insurance and group and individual annuities in the
state of New York, with products consisting predominately of structured
settlement annuities sold through independent brokers. The Company also
utilizes Allstate agencies and direct marketing to distribute its traditional
and universal life and accident and disability insurance products.
Additionally, flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts and certain
single and flexible premium annuities are marketed to individuals through the
account executives of Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. ("Dean Witter") (Note 4).
The Company utilizes various modeling techniques in managing the relationship
between assets and liabilities. Structured settlement annuity contracts issued
by the Company are long-term in nature and involve fixed guarantees relating to
the amount and timing of benefit payments. In addition, single and flexible
premium annuity contracts issued by the Company are subject to discretionary
withdrawal or surrender by the contractholder, subject to applicable surrender
charges. The fixed income securities supporting these obligations have been
selected to meet the anticipated cash flow requirements of the related
liabilities; however, in a low interest rate environment, funds from maturing
investments, particularly those supporting long-term structured settlement
annuity obligations, may be reinvested at substantially lower interest rates
than those which prevailed when the funds were previously invested. The Company
employs strategies to minimize exposure to interest rate risk and to maintain
investments which are sufficiently liquid to meet obligations to
contractholders in various interest rate scenarios.
The Company monitors economic and regulatory developments which have the
potential to impact its business. Currently, there is proposed legislation
which would permit banks greater participation in securities businesses, which
could eventually present an increased level of competition for sales of the
Company's annuity contracts. Furthermore, the federal government may enact
changes which could possibly eliminate the tax-advantaged nature of annuities
or eliminate consumers' need for tax deferral, thereby reducing the incentive
for customers to purchase the Company's products. While it is not possible to
predict the outcome of such issues with certainty, management evaluates the
likelihood of various outcomes and develops strategies, as appropriate, to
respond to such challenges.
To conform with the 1995 presentation, certain items in the prior year's
financial statements and notes have been reclassified.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LIFE INSURANCE ACCOUNTING
The Company writes traditional life, accident and disability insurance. The
Company also writes long-duration insurance contracts with terms that are not
fixed and guaranteed, including single premium life
15
<PAGE>
ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
($ IN THOUSANDS)
insurance contracts, which are considered universal life-type contracts. The
Company also sells long-duration contracts that do not involve significant risk
of policyholder mortality or morbidity (principally single and flexible premium
fixed and variable annuities and structured settlement annuities when sold
without life contingencies), which are considered investment contracts. Limited
payment contracts (policies with premiums paid over a period shorter than the
contract period) primarily consist of group annuities and structured settlement
annuities, when sold with life contingencies.
Premiums for traditional life insurance are recognized as revenue when due.
Accident and disability premiums are earned on a pro rata basis over the policy
period. Revenues on universal life-type contracts are comprised of contract
charges and fees and are recognized when assessed against the policyholder
account balance. Revenues on investment contracts include contract charges and
fees for contract administration and surrenders. These revenues are recognized
when levied against the contract balances. Gross premiums in excess of the net
premium on limited payment contracts are deferred and recognized over the
contract period.
The reserve for life insurance policy benefits, which relates to traditional
life, group annuities and structured settlement annuities with life
contingencies, and accident and disability insurance, is computed on the basis
of assumptions as to future investment yields, mortality, morbidity,
terminations and expenses. These assumptions, which for traditional life are
applied using the net level premium method, include provisions for adverse
deviation and generally vary by such characteristics as plan, year of issue and
policy duration. Reserve interest rates ranged from 6.2% to 9.5% during 1995.
To the extent that unrealized gains on available for sale securities would
result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, the
related increase in reserves is recorded as a reduction of the unrealized gains
included in shareholder's equity.
Contractholder funds arise from the issuance of individual contracts that
include an investment component, including most annuities and universal life-
type contracts. Payments received are recorded as interest-bearing liabilities.
Contractholder funds are equal to deposits received and interest accrued to the
benefit of the contractholder less withdrawals, mortality charges, and
administrative expenses. Credited interest rates on contractholder funds ranged
from 3.0% to 6.8% for those contracts with fixed interest rates and from 3.6%
to 8.5% for those with flexible rates during 1995.
Certain costs of acquiring insurance business, principally agents'
compensation, premium taxes, certain underwriting costs and direct mail
solicitation expenses, are deferred and amortized to income. For traditional
life, limited payment contracts and accident and disability, these costs are
amortized in proportion to the estimated revenues on such business. For
universal life-type and investment contracts, the costs are amortized in
relation to the present value of estimated gross profits on such business.
Changes in the amount or timing of estimated gross profits will result in
adjustments in the cumulative amortization of these costs. To the extent that
unrealized gains or losses on fixed income securities carried at fair value
would result in
16
<PAGE>
ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
($ IN THOUSANDS)
an adjustment of deferred acquisition costs had those gains or losses actually
been realized, the related unamortized deferred acquisition costs are recorded
as a reduction of the unrealized gains or losses included in shareholder's
equity.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The Company issues flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts, the
assets and liabilities of which are legally segregated and reflected in the
accompanying statements of financial position as assets and liabilities of the
Separate Accounts. Assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts represent
funds of Allstate Life of New York Variable Annuity Account and Allstate Life
of New York Variable Annuity Account II ("Separate Accounts"), unit investment
trusts registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The assets and
liabilities of the Separate Accounts are carried at fair value. Investment
income and realized capital gains and losses of the Separate Accounts accrue
directly to the contractholders and, therefore, are not included in the
accompanying statements of operations. Revenues to the Company from the
Separate Accounts consist of contract maintenance fees, administration fees and
mortality and expense risk charges.
INVESTMENTS
Fixed income securities include bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Fixed
income securities which may be sold prior to their contractual maturity
("available for sale") are carried at fair value. The difference between
amortized cost and fair value, net of deferred income taxes, certain deferred
acquisition costs and reserves for life insurance policy benefits, is reflected
as a component of shareholder's equity. Fixed income securities which the
Company has both the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity ("held to
maturity") are carried at amortized cost. Provisions are made to write down the
value of fixed income securities for declines in value that are other than
temporary. Such writedowns are included in realized capital gains and losses.
Mortgage loans are carried at outstanding principal balance, net of
unamortized premium or discount and valuation allowances. Valuation allowances
are established for impaired loans when it is probable that contractual
principal and interest will not be collected. Valuation allowances for impaired
loans reduce the carrying value to the fair value of the collateral or the
present value of the loan's expected future repayment cash flows, discounted at
the loan's original effective interest rate. Valuation allowances on loans not
considered to be impaired are established based on consideration of the
underlying collateral, borrower financial strength, current and future market
conditions and other factors. While the Company believes its mortgage loans
were carried at appropriate levels at December 31, 1995, further allowances may
be required if market conditions or other circumstances surrounding the loans
change.
Short-term investments are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Policy loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances.
17
<PAGE>
ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
($ IN THOUSANDS)
Investment income consists primarily of interest, which is recognized on an
accrual basis. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities is determined on
the effective yield method, based on estimated principal repayments. Accrual of
income is suspended for fixed income securities and mortgage loans that are in
default or when the receipt of interest payments is in doubt. Realized capital
gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company designates financial futures contracts as hedges of fixed income
securities and anticipated transactions when certain criteria are met. These
criteria require financial futures contracts to reduce the interest rate risk
associated with designated assets or anticipated transactions. In addition, at
the inception of the hedge and throughout the hedge period, high correlation
between changes in the market value of the financial future contract and the
fair value of, or interest income or expense associated with, the hedged item
must exist. The Company only hedges those anticipated transactions that are
probable of occurrence and whose significant terms and expected characteristics
can be identified.
When the hedged item is an existing asset, gains and losses on financial
futures contracts are deferred as an adjustment to the amortized cost basis of
the hedged item and are reported net of tax in shareholder's equity.
When the hedged item is an anticipated transaction, gains and losses on
financial futures contracts are deferred as other liabilities and accrued
expenses. Once the anticipated transaction occurs, the deferred gains or losses
are considered part of the amortized cost basis of the hedged asset.
Accordingly, they are recognized in net investment income over the life of the
hedged asset or are included in the recognition of gain or loss from
disposition of that asset.
Initial margin deposits are reported in short-term investments. Fees and
commissions on financial futures contracts are deferred as an adjustment to the
amortized cost basis of the hedged item.
If, subsequent to entering into a hedge transaction, the financial futures
contract becomes ineffective (including if the hedged item is sold or otherwise
extinguished), the Company terminates the contract position. Gains and losses
on these terminations are reported in realized capital gains (losses) in the
period they occur. The Company may also terminate financial futures contracts
as a result of other events or circumstances. Gains and losses on these
terminations are reported in shareholder's equity, consistent with the
accounting for the hedged item.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Commitments to extend mortgage loans have only off-balance-sheet risk because
their contractual amounts are not recorded in the Company's statements of
financial position.
18

ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

($ IN THOUSANDS)
REINSURANCE
Certain premiums and policy benefits are ceded and reflected net of such
cessions in the statements of operations. Reinsurance recoverable and the
related reserves for policy benefits are reported separately in the statements
of financial position. Reinsurance ceded arrangements do not discharge the
Company as the primary insurer.
INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision is calculated under the liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the enacted tax
rates. The principal assets and liabilities giving rise to such differences are
insurance reserves and deferred policy acquisition costs. Deferred income taxes
also arise from unrealized capital gains or losses on fixed income securities
carried at fair value.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS No. 114
defines impaired loans as loans in which it is probable that a creditor will be
unable to collect all amounts contractually due under the terms of a loan
agreement and requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate, at the loan's observable market price, or at the fair value of the
collateral. SFAS No. 118 amends SFAS No. 114 to allow a creditor to use
existing methods for recognizing interest income on impaired loans. The
adoption of these statements did not have a material impact on net income or
financial position.
Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which requires that
investments classified as available for sale be carried at fair value.
Previously, fixed income securities classified as available for sale were
carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, determined in the
aggregate. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected as a separate
component of shareholder's equity, net of deferred income taxes, certain life
deferred acquisition costs and reserves for life insurance policy benefits. The
net effect of adoption of this statement increased shareholder's equity at
December 31, 1993 by $25,391 and did not have a material impact on net income.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
REINSURANCE
The Company cedes business to the Parent under reinsurance treaties. Premiums
and policy benefits ceded totaled $1,259 and $278 in 1995, $1,181 and $1,877 in
1994, and $4,109 and $1,288 in 1993. Included in the reinsurance recoverable at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are amounts due from the Parent of $1,212 and
$1,120, respectively.
STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT ANNUITIES
Allstate, through an affiliate, purchased $11,243, $7,568 and $24,778 of
structured settlement annuities from the Company in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Included in premium income are $4,164, $1,221 and $7,170, for
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, for the amounts related to structured
settlement annuities with life contingencies. Additionally, the provision for
policy benefits was increased by approximately 94% of such premium received in
each of these years.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The Company utilizes services and business facilities owned or leased, and
operated by Allstate in conducting its business activities. The Company
reimburses Allstate for the operating expenses incurred by Allstate on its
behalf. The cost to the Company is determined by various allocation methods and
is primarily related to the level of the services provided. Expenses allocated
to the Company were $21,288, $17,320 and $16,313 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. A portion of these expenses related to the acquisition of
insurance business is deferred and amortized over the policy period.
DEAN WITTER
Dean Witter is the primary distributor of the Company's single and flexible
premium annuities. Dean Witter is also the distributor of flexible premium
deferred variable annuity contracts and the investment manager for the Dean
Witter Variable Investment Series, the fund in which the assets of the Separate
Accounts are invested. Additionally, Dean Witter loans funds to an affiliate of
the Parent under the terms of a strategic alliance.
5. INCOME TAXES
A consolidated federal income tax return will be filed by the Parent and its
life insurance subsidiaries, including the Company. Tax liabilities and
benefits realized by the consolidated group are allocated as generated by the
respective subsidiaries, whether or not such benefits generated by the
subsidiaries would be available on a separate return basis. The Corporation and
its domestic subsidiaries, including the Company, (the "Allstate Group"), will
be eligible to file a consolidated tax return beginning in the year 2000.
20

ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
($ IN THOUSANDS)
Prior to the Distribution, the Allstate Group joined with Sears and its
domestic business units (the "Sears Group") in the filing of a consolidated
federal income tax return (the "Sears Tax Group") and were parties to a federal
income tax allocation agreement (the "Tax Sharing Agreement"). As a member of
the Sears Tax Group, the Corporation was jointly and severally liable for the
consolidated income tax liability of the Sears Tax Group. Under the Tax Sharing
Agreement, the Company, through the Corporation, paid to or received from the
Sears Group the amount, if any, by which the Sears Tax Group's federal income
tax liability was affected by virtue of inclusion of the Allstate Group in the
consolidated federal income tax return. Effectively, this resulted in the
Company's annual income tax provision being computed as if the Company filed a
separate return, except that items such as net operating losses, capital
losses, or similar items, which might not be immediately recognizable in a
separate return, were allocated according to the Tax Sharing Agreement and
reflected in the Company's provision to the extent that such items reduced the
Sears Tax Group's federal tax liability.
The Allstate group and Sears Group have entered into an agreement which
governs their respective rights and obligations with respect to federal income
taxes for all periods prior to the Distribution ("Consolidated Tax Years"). The
agreement provides that all Consolidated Tax Years will continue to be governed
by the Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to the Company's federal income tax
liability and taxes payable to or recoverable from the Sears Group.
The components of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December

The Company paid income taxes of $11,000, $27,682 and $13,079 in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively to the Parent under the Tax Sharing Agreement.
Additionally, the Company had income taxes payable to the Parent of $1,729 and
$141 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Prior to January 1, 1984, the Company was entitled to exclude certain amounts
from taxable income and accumulate such amounts in a "policyholder surplus"
account. The balance in this account at December 31, 1995 of approximately $389
will result in taxes payable of $136 if distributed to the Company's
shareholder. The Company has no plan to distribute amounts from the
policyholder surplus account, and no further additions to the account are
allowed by the Tax Reform Act of 1984.
6. INVESTMENTS
In 1995, the Company transferred its held to maturity fixed income securities
portfolio, with an amortized cost of $644,005 to the available for sale fixed
income portfolio. The fair value of these fixed income securities was $726,820,
resulting in an increase to shareholder's equity of $82,815 after adjustment
for deferred income taxes, certain deferred acquisition costs and reserves for
life insurance policy benefits. While the Company's investment philosophy has
not changed, management chose to transfer these fixed income securities to
available for sale to maximize the Company's flexibility in responding to
changes in market conditions.

period, of which $1,193 was received in cash. The average recorded investment
in impaired loans during the period was $8,900.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Company invests in various financial
assets, incurs various financial liabilities and enters into agreements
involving derivative financial instruments. The fair value estimates of
financial instruments presented below are not necessarily indicative of the
amounts the Company might pay or receive in actual market transactions.
Potential taxes and other transaction costs have not been considered in
estimating fair value. As a number of the Company's significant assets,
including deferred acquisition costs and deferred income taxes, and
liabilities, including traditional and universal life-type life insurance
reserves, are not considered financial instruments, the disclosures that follow
do not reflect the fair value of the Company as a whole.

</TABLE>
Carrying value and fair value include the effects of derivative financial
instruments where applicable.
Fair value for fixed income securities are based on quoted market prices
where available. Non-quoted securities are valued based on discounted cash
flows using current interest rates for similar securities. Mortgage loans are
valued based on discounted contractual cash flows. Discount rates are selected
using
28

ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
($ IN THOUSANDS)
current rates at which loans would be made to borrowers with similar
characteristics, using similar properties as collateral. Loans that exceed 100%
loan-to-value are valued at the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral. Short-term investments are highly liquid investments with
maturities of less than one year whose carrying value approximates fair value.
The fair value of policy loans is estimated at book value since the loan may be
repaid at any time. Accrued investment income and other financial assets are
valued at their carrying value as they are short-term in nature. Assets of the
Separate Accounts are carried in the statements of financial position at fair
value.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Company had the following financial liabilities:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
CARRYING FAIR
AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 VALUE VALUE

Other financial liabilities............................. 7,725 7,725
Separate Accounts....................................... 175,918 175,918
</TABLE>
The fair value of contractholder funds on investment contracts is based on
the terms of the underlying contracts. Reserves on investment contracts with no
stated maturities (single premium and flexible premium deferred annuities) are
valued at the account balance less surrender charge. The fair value of
immediate annuities and annuities without life contingencies with fixed terms
are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates
currently offered for contracts with similar terms and durations. Other
financial liabilities are generally valued at their carrying value due to their
short-term nature. Separate Accounts liabilities are carried at the fair value
of the underlying assets.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses financial futures contracts to reduce its exposure to
interest rate risk on its invested assets, as well as to improve
asset/liability management. The Company does not hold or issue these
instruments for trading purposes. The following table summarizes the contract
or notional amount and carrying value of the Company's financial futures
contracts:

Financial futures................................... $20,700 $(65)
</TABLE>
The contract or notional amounts are used to calculate the exchange of
contractual payments under the agreements and are not representative of the
potential gain or loss on these agreements.
Financial futures contracts are commitments to either purchase or sell
designated financial instruments at a future date for a specified price or
yield. They may be settled in cash or through delivery. As part of its
asset/liability management, the Company generally utilizes futures contracts to
hedge its interest rate risk related to anticipatory investment purchases.
Hedges of anticipatory transactions pertain to identified transactions which
are probable to occur and are generally completed within ninety days. Futures
contracts have limited off-balance-sheet credit exposure as they are executed
on organized exchanges and require security deposits, as well as the daily cash
settlement of margins.
Market risk is the risk that future changes in market conditions may cause an
instrument to become less valuable or more costly to settle. Market risk exists
for the financial futures contracts that the Company currently holds. The
Company mitigates this risk through established risk limits set by senior
management. In addition, the change in the value of the Company's financial
futures contracts are generally offset by the change in the value of certain
on-balance-sheet items or anticipated transactions.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Commitments to extend new mortgage loans are agreements to lend to a customer
provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
The Company enters these agreements to commit to future loan fundings at a
predetermined interest rate. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses. Commitments to extend mortgage loans, which are
secured by the underlying properties, are valued based on estimates of fees
charged by other institutions to make similar commitments to similar borrowers.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had $3,075 in mortgage loan commitments which
had a fair value of $31. No such commitments existed at December 31, 1995.

8. BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
Defined benefit pension plans, sponsored by Allstate, cover all domestic
full-time employees and certain part-time employees. Benefits under the pension
plans are based upon the employee's length of service, average annual
compensation and estimated social security retirement benefits. Allstate's
funding policy for the pension plans is to make annual contributions in
accordance with accepted actuarial cost methods. The costs to the Company
included in income were $446, $344 and $340 for the pension plans in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Allstate provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired
employees. Generally, qualified employees may become eligible for these
benefits if they retire in accordance with Allstate's established retirement
policy and are continuously insured under Allstate's group plans or other
approved plans for 10 or more years prior to retirement. Allstate shares the
cost of the retiree medical benefits with retirees based on years of service,
with the Company's share being subject to a 5% limit on annual medical cost
inflation after retirement. Allstate's postretirement benefit plans currently
are not funded. Allstate has the right to modify or terminate these plans.
PROFIT SHARING FUND
Employees of Allstate and its domestic subsidiaries are also eligible to
become members of the Savings and Profit Sharing Fund of Allstate Employees
("Allstate Plan"). Allstate contributions are based on 6% of consolidated
income, as defined, with Allstate contributions limited to 70% of eligible
deposits. The Allstate Plan includes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("Allstate ESOP") to pre-fund a portion of the Company's anticipated
contribution through 2004. The Allstate Plan and the Allstate ESOP split from
The Savings and Profit Sharing Fund of Sears Employees, which included a
leveraged employee stock ownership plan ("Sears ESOP") feature, on June 30,
1995, the date of the Distribution. Fifty percent of the unallocated shares of
the Sears ESOP and 50% of the amount of the Sears ESOP debt (payable to Sears)
were transferred to the Allstate Plan. In connection with this transfer,
Allstate paid Sears $327 million, an amount equal to 50% of the Sears ESOP
debt. Concurrently, Allstate received a note from the Allstate ESOP for a like
principal amount with interest rate and maturity identical to the debt
obligation transferred from the Sears ESOP. Allstate will make contributions to
the Allstate ESOP annually in the amount necessary to allow the Allstate ESOP
to fund interest and principal payments.
The Company's contribution to The Savings and Profit Sharing Fund of Allstate
Employees was $141 in 1995. The costs to the Company prior to the Distribution
and the split from the Savings and Profit Sharing Fund of Sears Employees were
$123 and $176 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

to eligible home office employees. The Company's portion of the total cost of
the program of $1,210 was charged to 1994 income.
