                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the
Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account (comprised of the Money Market,
High Yield Bond, Managed Bond, Government Securities, Growth, Aggressive Equity,
Growth LT, Equity Income, Multi-Strategy, Equity, Bond and Income, Equity Index,
International and Emerging Markets Variable Accounts) as of December 31, 1996
and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and statement of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate 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.  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 financial position of each of the respective Variable
Accounts constituting the Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account at
December 31, 1996 and the results of their operations for the year then ended
and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

               PACIFIC SELECT VARIABLE ANNUITY SEPARATE ACCOUNT

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account (the "Separate
Account") is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and during 1996 was comprised of fourteen subaccounts
called Variable Accounts: the Money Market Variable Account, the High Yield Bond
Variable Account, the Managed Bond Variable Account, the Government Securities
Variable Account, the Growth Variable Account (not offered to new Contract
Owners beginning January 1, 1994), the Aggressive Equity Variable Account, the
Growth LT Variable Account, the Equity Income Variable Account, the Multi-
Strategy Variable Account, the Equity Variable Account, the Bond and Income
Variable Account, the Equity Index Variable Account, the International Variable
Account, and the Emerging Markets Variable Account. The assets in each Variable
Account are invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of Pacific Select
Fund (the "Fund"), each of which pursues different investment objectives and
policies. The financial statements of the Fund, including the portfolios of
investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Separate Account's financial statements.

        The Separate Account has organized and registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission two new Variable Accounts, the Aggressive Equity
Variable Account and the Emerging Markets Variable Account. Both Variable
Accounts commenced operations on April 1, 1996.

        The Separate Account was established by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("Pacific Mutual") on November 30, 1989 and commenced operations on July
24, 1990. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the
Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets
and liabilities of Pacific Mutual. The assets of the Separate Account will not
be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by
Pacific Mutual, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits
related to variable annuities, are obligations of Pacific Mutual.

        The Separate Account held by Pacific Mutual represents funds from
individual flexible premium variable accumulation deferred annuity contracts.

        The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

     A. Valuation of Investments

        Investments in shares of the Fund are valued at the reported net asset
values of the respective portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Fund is
discussed in the notes to their financial statements.

     B. Security Transactions

        Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost.

     C. Federal Income Taxes

        The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal
income tax return of Pacific Mutual, which is taxed as a life insurance company
under the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Under current tax law, no
Federal income taxes are expected to be paid by Pacific Mutual with respect to
the operations of the Separate Account.

2. DIVIDENDS

        During 1996, the Fund has declared dividends for each portfolio except
the Emerging Markets Portfolio. The amounts accrued by the Separate Account for
its share of the dividends were reinvested in additional full and fractional
shares of the related portfolio.

3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES

        Pacific Mutual charges the Separate Account daily for mortality and
expense risks assumed with respect to variable annuity contracts funded by the
Separate Account at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets of
each Variable Account. Under the contracts, Pacific Mutual makes certain
deductions from the net assets of each Variable Account for administrative
expenses, contract maintenance, any state premium taxes, and any surrender
charges. The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by Pacific
Mutual.

4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT

   Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific
Mutual, is the principal underwriter of variable annuity contracts funded by
interests in the Separate Account, and is compensated by Pacific Mutual.
