                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - DECEMBER 31, 1995


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

   Separate Account I (SA-I) is a separate investment account of First Allmerica
Financial Life Insurance Company (the Company), established on October 1, 1992
for the purpose of separating from the general assets of the Company those
assets used to fund certain variable annuity policies issued by the Company.
Effective October 16, 1995, concurrent with the demutualization, the Company's
name was changed from State Mutual Life Assurance Company of America. Under
applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of SA-I are clearly
identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of the
Company. SA-I cannot be charged with liabilities arising out of any other
business of the Company.

   SA-I is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). SA-I currently offers five Sub-Accounts.
Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in a corresponding investment portfolio of
the Allmerica Investment Trust (the Trust) managed by Allmerica Investment
Management Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Trust is
an open-end, diversified series management investment company registered under
the 1940 Act.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Investments - Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Investments in shares of the Trust are stated at the net asset value per share
of the respective investment portfolio of the Trust. Net realized gains and
losses on securities sold are determined on the average cost method. Dividends
and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are
reinvested in additional shares of the respective investment portfolio of the
Trust at net asset value.

   Federal Income Taxes - The Company is taxed as a "life insurance company"
under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code and files a consolidated federal
income tax return. The Company anticipates no tax liability resulting from the
operations of SA-I. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been charged
against SA-I.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

   The number of shares owned, aggregate cost, and net asset value per share of
each Sub-Account's investment in the Trust at December 31, 1995 were as follows:

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   The Company makes a charge of .90% per annum based on the average daily net
assets of each Sub-Account at each valuation date for mortality and expense
risks. The Company also charges each Sub-Account .25% per annum based on the
average daily net assets of each Sub-Account for administrative expenses. These
charges are deducted from the daily value of each Sub-Account but are paid to
the Company on a monthly basis.

   An IRA account fee is currently deducted on the policy anniversary date and
upon full surrender of the IRA account. The IRA account fee is $25. For IRA
accounts established after April 30, 1993, the IRA account fee will be waived in
the following circumstances: if the contribution establishing the IRA account
was at least $15,000, the IRA account fee will be waived on the first
anniversary deduction; if the accumulated value is $15,000 as of December 31 of
the calendar year previous to any subsequent anniversary deduction, the IRA
account fee will be waived on such subsequent anniversary deduction. For the
year ended December 31, 1995, there were no IRA account fees deducted from
accumulated value in the Separate Account.

   Allmerica Investments, Inc., (Allmerica Investments), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, is principal underwriter and general distributor of
SA-I, and does not receive any compensation for sales of the IRA policies.
Commissions are paid to registered representatives of Allmerica Investments by
the Company.

NOTE 6 - DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

   Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, a
variable annuity contract, other than a contract issued in connection with
certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as an annuity
contract for federal income tax purposes for any period for which the
investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are
not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified"
requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory
safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued
by the Secretary of Treasury.

   The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of
the Code. The Company believes that SA-I satisfies the current requirements of
the regulations, and it intends that SA-I will continue to meet such
requirements.

NOTE 7 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of First Allmerica Financial
Life Insurance Company and
Policyowners of Separate Account I of
First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts (1, 2,
3, 4 and 5) constituting the Separate Account I of First Allmerica Financial
Life Insurance Company at December 31, 1995, the results of each of their
operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments owned at
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the Trust, provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
