The Providentmutual Variable Annuity Separate Account
of Providentmutual Life and Annuity Company of America
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION
 
     The Providentmutual Variable Annuity Separate Account (Separate Account)
was established by Providentmutual Life and Annuity Company of America
(Providentmutual) under the provisions of Pennsylvania law and commenced
operations on April 14, 1992. In December 1992, Providentmutual redomesticated
to the State of Delaware. Providentmutual is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company (Provident Mutual). The Separate Account
is an investment account to which net proceeds from individual flexible premium
deferred variable annuity contracts (the Contracts) are allocated until maturity
or termination of the Contracts.
 
     The Contracts are distributed through career agents, brokers and personal
producing general agents.
 
     Providentmutual has structured the Separate Account as a unit investment
trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Separate Account is comprised of
thirty-three Subaccounts: the Growth, Money Market, Bond, Managed, Aggressive
Growth and International Subaccounts invest in the corresponding portfolios of
the Market Street Fund, Inc.; the Fidelity High Income, Fidelity Equity-Income,
Fidelity Growth and Fidelity Overseas Subaccounts invest in the corresponding
portfolios of the Variable Insurance Products Fund; the Fidelity Asset Manager,
Fidelity Index 500, Fidelity Contrafund and Fidelity Investment Grade Bond
Subaccounts invest in the corresponding portfolios of the Variable Insurance
Products Fund II; the OCC Equity (formerly Quest for Value Equity), OCC Small
Cap (formerly Quest for Value Small Cap) and OCC Managed (formerly Quest for
Value Managed) Subaccounts invest in the corresponding portfolios of the OCC
Accumulation Trust; the Scudder Bond, Scudder Growth and Income and Scudder
International Subaccounts invest in the corresponding portfolios of the Scudder
Variable Life Investment Fund; the Dreyfus Zero Coupon 2000, Dreyfus Growth and
Income and Dreyfus Socially Responsible Subaccounts invest in the corresponding
portfolios of the Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund; and the Federated Fund for
U.S. Government Securities II (formerly Federated U.S. Government Bond Fund) and
Federated Utility Fund II (formerly Federated Utility Fund) Subaccounts invest
in the corresponding portfolios of the Federated Insurance Series (formerly
Insurance Management Series); the Neuberger & Berman Balanced, Neuberger &
Berman Growth and Neuberger & Berman Limited Maturity Bond Subaccounts invest in
the corresponding portfolios of the Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management
Trust; the American Century VP Capital Appreciation (formerly TCI Growth)
Subaccount invests in the corresponding portfolio of the American Century
Variable Portfolios, Inc. (formerly TCI Portfolios, Inc.); the Van Eck Worldwide
Bond, Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets (formerly Van Eck Gold and Natural
Resources) and Van Eck Worldwide Emerging Markets (formerly Van Eck Emerging
Markets) Subaccounts invest in the corresponding portfolios of the Van Eck
Worldwide Insurance Trust; and the Alger American Small Capitalization
Subaccount invests in the corresponding portfolio of the Alger American Fund.
See original contract documents for availability of Subaccounts as investment
options for a particular variable annuity contract.

The Providentmutual Variable Annuity Separate Account
of Providentmutual Life and Annuity Company of America
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) -- continued
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION, CONTINUED:
     Net premiums from the Contracts are allocated to the Subaccounts in
accordance with contractholders instructions and are recorded as variable
annuity contract transactions in the statements of changes in net assets. Such
amounts are used to provide money to pay contract values under the Contracts
(Note 4). The Separate Account's assets are the property of Providentmutual.
 
     Transfers between investment portfolios include transfers between the
Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Account (not shown), which is part of
Providentmutual's General Account.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed
by the Separate Account in the financial statements.
 
 Investment Valuation:
 
     Investment shares are valued at the net asset values of the respective
Portfolios. Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
 Realized Gains and Losses:
 
     Realized gains and losses on sales of investment shares are determined
using the specific identification basis for financial reporting and income tax
purposes.
 
 Federal Income Taxes:
 
     The operation of the Separate Account is included in the Federal income tax
return of Providentmutual. Under the provisions of the Contracts,
Providentmutual has the right to charge the Separate Account for Federal income
tax attributable to the Separate Account. No charge is currently being made
against the Separate Account for such tax.
 
 Estimates:
 
     The preparation of the accompanying financial statements required
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of
assets and liabilities and the reported amounts from operations and contract
transactions during the period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     Certain deductions are made from the Subaccounts and/or the premiums by
Providentmutual. The deductions may include (1) surrender charges, (2)
administration fees, (3) transfer processing fees, (4) mortality and expense
risk charges and (5) premium taxes. Premiums adjusted for these deductions are
recorded as net premiums in the statement of changes in net assets. See original
policy documents for specific charges assessed.
 
     There are no sales expenses deducted from premiums at the time the premiums
are paid. If a contract has not been in force for six full years for Market
Street VIP and Market Street VIP/2 contracts and seven full years for an Options
VIP contract, upon surrender or for certain withdrawals, a surrender charge is
deducted from the proceeds. However, subject to certain restrictions, up to 10%
of the contract account value as of the beginning of a contract year may be
surrendered or withdrawn free of surrender charges. For Options VIP contracts,
the 10% is cumulative if unused.
 
     An annual administrative fee of $30 is deducted from the contract account
value on each contract anniversary date beginning one year from the issue date
of the contract. In addition, to compensate for costs associated with
administration of the Market Street VIP/2 and Options VIP contracts,
Providentmutual deducts a daily asset-based administration charge from the
assets of the Separate Account equal to an annual rate of .15%. This daily
asset-based administration charge is reported in the mortality and expense risk
charges in the statements of operations.
 
     During any given contract year, the first four transfers by Market Street
VIP contractholders and the first twelve transfers by Market Street VIP/2 and
Options VIP contractholders of amounts in the Subaccounts are free of charge. A
fee of $25 is assessed for each additional transfer. No transfer fees were
incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1997 or the year ended December
31, 1996.
 
     The Separate Account is charged a daily mortality and expense risk charge
at an annual rate of 1.20% for the Market Street VIP contracts and 1.25% for the
Market Street VIP/2 and Options VIP contracts. Providentmutual reserves the
right to increase this charge for the Market Street VIP contracts, but in no
event will it be greater than 1.25%.
 
     State premium taxes, when applicable, will be deducted depending upon when
such taxes are paid to the taxing authority. The premium taxes are deducted
either from premiums as they are received or from the proceeds upon withdrawal
from or surrender of the contract or upon application of the proceeds to a
payment option.

    The table below shows the net rates of return for the Subaccounts. The net
rate of return is applicable to net assets for a variable annuity contract whose
contract year commences with the beginning date of the year shown and is not
based on the average net assets in the Subaccounts during the year.
 
    The performance for each Subaccount is shown as the net rate of return which
reflects the Subaccounts' investment income and capital gains and losses,
realized or unrealized, less charges against the Subaccounts' assets for the
year shown.
