PREFERRED LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT C
OF PREFERRED LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (unaudited)

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. and its Templeton and Franklin affiliates, 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 Small Cap Fund,  Capital  Growth Fund and  Templeton  International  Smaller
Companies Fund were added as available  investment options on June 10, 1996. The
Mutual Discovery Securities Fund and Mutual Shares Securities Fund were added as
available   investment  options  on  December  2,  1996.  The  Investment  Grade
Intermediate Bond Fund and Adjustable U.S.  Government Fund were closed on Octo-
ber 25, 1996 when shares of the U.S. Government Securities Fund were substituted
for all shares of both funds.

On May 1, 1996,  the Global  Income  Fund name was changed to  Templeton  Global
Income  Securities  Fund.  The Precious  Metals Fund name was changed to Natural
Resources Securities Fund on May 1, 1997.

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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

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 period ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited)
and the year ended  December 31, 1996 were $244,540 and $468,180,  respectively.
These contract  charges are reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets
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:

Years Since Payment          Charge
- --------------------------------------
       0-1                     5%
       1-2                     5%
       2-3                     4%
       3-4                     3%
       4-5                    1.5%
       5 +                     0%

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 period ended June 30, 1997  (unaudited) and
the year ended December 31, 1996 were $534,856 and $1,012,666, 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 period ended June 30, 1997  (unaudited)  and the
year ended December 31, 1996 were $4,306 and $11,086, 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.

3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Operations  of the  Variable  Account  form a  part  of,  and  are  taxed  with,
operations of Preferred Life,  which is taxed as a life insurance  company under
the Internal Revenue Code.

Preferred  Life  does  not  expect  to incur  any  federal  income  taxes in the
operation of the Variable Account. If, in the future,  Preferred Life determines
that the Variable  Account may incur federal income taxes,  it may then assess a
charge against the Variable Account for such taxes.
