                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors
Northwestern National Life Insurance
Company and Policyowners of
Select*Life Variable Account:

  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Select*Life Variable Account as of December 31, 1995 and the related combined
statements of operations and changes in Policyowners' equity for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the management of Northwestern National Life Insurance
Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

  We have 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
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures include
confirmation of the securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by correspondence
with the Account custodians. 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 Select*Life Variable Account as
of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and changes in
Policyowners' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  SECURITIES VALUATION AND TRANSACTIONS:
  The market value of investments in the Sub-Accounts is based on the closing
  net asset values of the Fund shares held at the end of the period. Investment
  transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to purchase
  or redeem is executed) and dividend income and capital distributions is
  recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains and losses on redemptions
  of shares of the Funds are determined on the basis of specific identification
  of Fund's share costs. Net investment income and realized and unrealized gain
  (loss) on investments of each Sub-Account are allocated to the Policies on
  each valuation date based on each policy's pro-rata share of the net assets of
  each Sub-Account as of the beginning of the valuation period.

2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
  Under current tax law, the income, gains and losses from the separate account
  investments are not taxable to either the Account or NWNL.

3. POLICY CHARGES:
  Certain charges are made by NWNL to Policyowners' Variable Accumulation Values
  in the Account in accordance with the terms of the Policies. These charges may
  include: Cost of Insurance, computed as set forth in the Policies; a Monthly
  Expense Charge as set forth in the Policies: Death Benefit Guarantee Charge;
  Optional Insurance benefit charges based upon the policy terms for optional
  benefits; and Surrender Charges and Sales Charge Refunds, as set forth in the
  Policies.

  NWNL assumes mortality and expense risks and, to cover these risks, deducts
  charges in accordance with the terms of the policies from the assets of the
  Account to compensate for these expenses and risks.

4. NORTHWESTERN'S SELECT FUNDS:
  On May 1, 1995, Select Capital Growth Fund, Inc. ("SCG") and Select Managed
  Fund, Inc. ("SMF") were liquidated, and Policy Owners' values in the
  Sub-Accounts investing in SCG and SMF were transferred to the Sub-Accounts
  investing in shares of the VIPF Growth Portfolio and VIPF II Asset Manager
  Portfolio, respectively.
