PREFERRED LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT C
OF PREFERRED LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The  Board  of  Directors  of Preferred Life Insurance Company of New York and
Contract Owners of Preferred Life Variable Account C:

We  have  audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
sub-accounts of Preferred Life Variable Account C as of December 31, 1995, the
related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-years then ended. 
These  financial  statements  are the responsibility of the Variable Account's
management.    Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements 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. 
Investment  securities held in custody for the benefit of the Variable Account
were  confirmed to us by the Franklin Valuemark Funds.  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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts of
Preferred  Life  Variable Account C at December 31, 1995, the results of their
operations  for  the  year  then ended and the changes in their net assets for
each  of  the  years in the two-years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                      of

                 PREFERRED LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

                        Notes to Financial Statements

                              December 31, 1995


1.  ORGANIZATION

Preferred Life Variable Account C (Variable Account) is a segregated
investment  account of Preferred Life Insurance Company of New York (Preferred
Life)  and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit
investment  trust  pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of
1940  (as amended).  The Variable Account was established by Preferred Life on
February 26, 1988 and commenced operations September 6, 1991.  Accordingly, it
is an accounting entity wherein all segregated account transactions are
reflected.

The  Variable Account's assets are the property of Preferred Life and are held
for  the  benefit  of  the owners and other persons entitled to payments under
variable annuity contracts issued through the Variable Account and
underwritten  by Preferred Life.  The assets of the Variable Account, equal to
the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account, are not chargeable
with  liabilities  that arise from any other business which Preferred Life may
conduct.

The Variable Account's sub-accounts may invest, at net asset values, in one or
more  of  the funds of the Franklin Valuemark Funds (FVF), managed by Franklin
Advisers, Inc., in accordance with the selection made by the contract owner.

Certain officers and trustees of the FVF are also officers and/or directors of
Franklin Advisers, Inc. and/or Preferred Life.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting  principles  requires  management to make estimates and assumptions
that  affect  the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the  reported  amounts  of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INVESTMENTS

Investments of the Variable Account are valued daily at market value using net
asset values provided by Franklin Advisers, Inc.

Realized investment gains include gains on the sale of fund shares as
determined  by  the  average cost method. Dividend distributions received from
the  FVF  are  reinvested  in additional shares of the FVF and are recorded as
income to the Variable Account on the ex-dividend date.

The  Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund and Templeton Global Growth Fund
were  added  as available investment options on April 25, 1994.  The Templeton
Global  Asset  Allocation  Fund was added as an available investment option on
August 4, 1995.  The Zero Coupon - 1995 Fund matured and was closed on
December 15, 1995.

In  April  1995,  the Equity Growth Fund name was changed to Growth and Income
Fund.


EXPENSES

ASSET BASED EXPENSES

A mortality and expense risk charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a
daily basis equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net assets of the
Variable Account.

An administrative charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a daily
basis equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the daily net assets of the
Variable Account.

CONTRACT BASED EXPENSES

A contract maintenance charge is paid by the contract owner annually from each
contract  by liquidating contract units at the end of the contract year and at
the time of full surrender.  The amount of the charge is $30 each year. 
Contract maintenance charges deducted during the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994 were $475,980 and $369,180, respectively.  These contract charges are
reflected in the financial statements as other transactions.

A  contingent deferred sales charge is deducted from the contract value at the
time of a surrender.  This charge applies only to a surrender of purchase
payments received within five years of the date of surrender.  For this
purpose,  purchase payments are allocated on a first-in, first-out basis.  The
amount of the contingent deferred sales charge is calculated by:  (a)
allocating  purchase  payments  to the amount surrendered; and (b) multiplying
each  allocated purchase payment that has been held under the contract for the
period shown below by the charge shown below:
<TABLE>

<CAPTION>

<S>                  <C>
Years Since Payment  Charge
- -------------------  -------
0-1                       5%
1-2                       5%
2-3                       4%
3-4                       3%
4-5                     1.5%
5 +                       0%

</TABLE>


and (c) adding the products of each multiplication in (b) above.

A  contract  owner may, not more frequently than once annually on a cumulative
basis, make a surrender each contract year of fifteen percent (15%) of
purchase payments paid less any prior surrenders without incurring a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge.   For a partial surrender, the contingent
deferred  sales  charge will be deducted from the remaining contract value, if
sufficient;  otherwise it will be deducted from the amount surrendered.  Total
contingent  deferred  sales  charges paid by the contract owners for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $1,304,496 and $944,991, respectively.

Currently, twelve transfers are permitted each contract year.  Thereafter, the
fee is $25 per transfer, or 2% of the amount transferred, if less.  Currently,
transfers  associated with the dollar cost averaging program are not counted. 
Total  transfer  charges  for  the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were
$9,505 and $12,900, respectively.

Premium  taxes  or other taxes payable to a state or other governmental entity
will  be charged against the contract values.  Preferred Life may, at its sole
discretion,  pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the contract value
at a later date.  Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right
Preferred Life may have to deduct such amounts at a later date.


On  certain  contracts, a systematic withdrawal plan is available which allows
an owner to withdraw up to 9% of purchase payments less prior surrenders
annually, paid quarterly, without incurring a contingent deferred sales
charge.    The exercise of the systematic withdrawal plan in any contract year
replaces the 15% penalty free privilege for that year.

A rescission is defined as a contract that is returned to the company and
canceled within the free-look period, generally within 10 days.

the Internal Revenue Code.
