                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                 JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  Effective April 1, 1993, General Electric Capital Corporation (GE Capital),
all of whose common stock is indirectly owned by General Electric Company,
completed the acquisition of 100% of GNA Corporation's capital stock from
Weyerhaeuser Company and Weyerhaeuser Financial Services Inc. for a purchase
price of $577.4 million. Effective July 14, 1993, GE Capital acquired 100% of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of United Pacific Life Insurance
Company and four of its seven wholly-owned subsidiaries from Reliance
Insurance Company and its parent company, Reliance Group Holdings, Inc., for a
purchase price of $514.6 million in cash. During 1994, United Pacific Life
Insurance Company was renamed General Electric Capital Assurance Company (GE
Capital Assurance).
 
  Effective October 1, 1995, Great Northern Insured Annuity Corporation (GNA
or the Company) was party to a reorganization (the Reorganization) involving
GNA Corporation and certain of its life insurance company subsidiaries. The
Reorganization allows the life insurance company subsidiaries of GNA
Corporation to file a consolidated federal tax return.
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the voting common stock of GE Capital Assurance
(GECA) was owned by GNA and its preferred and nonvoting common stock was owned
by GNA Corporation. As part of the Reorganization, GNA became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GE Capital Assurance and GE Capital Assurance became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of GNA Corporation. In order for GE Capital Assurance to
become the direct parent of GNA, GNA Corporation contributed all of the stock
of GNA to GE Capital Assurance in exchange for voting shares of GE Capital
Assurance. GNA distributed its holdings of GE Capital Assurance common stock
to GE Capital Assurance with the result that GE Capital Assurance is now
wholly-owned by GNA Corporation.
 
  The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of GNA, as well
as its investment in First GNA Life Insurance Company of New York (First GNA),
accounted for under the equity method. Effective February 1, 1996, First GNA's
name was changed to GE Capital Life Assurance Company of New York (GE Capital
Life). Prior to the Reorganization, the results of GNA included the accounts
of GNA and its subsidiaries, GE Capital Assurance and GE Capital Life,
accounted for on a consolidated basis.
 
  The financial statements represent all significant transactions during the
periods presented. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal
recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of financial position
as of June 30, 1996, statements of income and retained earnings for the three-
month and six-month interim periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, and
statement of cash flows for the six-month interim periods ended June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1995 have been included. The financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do
not include some information and footnotes necessary to constitute a complete
and detailed presentation in conformity with annual reporting requirements.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and
related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 should not
be regarded as an indication of the results that may be expected for the
entire year.
 
(2) COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Company was committed to fund
$1.9 million and $20.2 million, respectively, in mortgage loans.

(3)NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
  Two newly issued accounting standards were adopted in the first quarter of
1996 and did not have a material effect on the financial position or results
of operations of the Company.
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of, requires that certain long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment when
events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may
not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds the sum of its expected future cash flows, the asset's carrying
value is written down to fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
 
  SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, requires that
capitalized rights to service mortgage loans be assessed for impairment by
individual risk stratum by comparing each stratum's carrying amount with its
fair value. To the extent that the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights
exceeds fair value by individual stratum, the resulting impairment is
recognized in earnings through a valuation allowance.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  GNA's results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 include
the accounts of GNA, as well as its investment in GE Capital Life, accounted
for under the equity method. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, GNA's
results of operations include the accounts of GNA and its subsidiaries, GE
Capital Assurance and GE Capital Life, accounted for on a consolidated basis.
 
  Net investment income decreased $219.2 million to $226.5 million during the
first six months of 1996 compared to 1995. As a result of the Reorganization,
net investment income excluded GE Capital Assurance and GE Capital Life's net
investment income, which was $229.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995. The remaining $9.9 million increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in invested assets, reinvestment of net investment proceeds in higher
yielding securities, and the equity income of its subsidiary.
 
  Net realized investment gains/losses--Net realized investment gains were
$2.1 million during the first six months of 1996, compared to a $4.9 million
loss during the same period in 1995. This change is related to the Company's
asset/liability risk management and varies with market and economic
conditions.
 
  Premiums decreased $21.5 million to $83.9 million during the first six
months of 1996. This decrease primarily relates to reduced sales of GNA's
structured settlement product, as well as the effects of the Reorganization of
$7.8 million.
 
  Interest credited on policyholder deposits decreased $110.0 million to
$146.0 million for the first six months of 1996. This decrease is related to
the effects of the Reorganization of $107.7 million as interest crediting
rates remained relatively consistent with the same period in 1995.
 
  Change in policy reserves decreased $18.3 million to $85.5 million during
the first six months of 1996. Policy reserves related to life contingent
products decreased largely due to a reduction in structured settlement sales,
as well as a $6.8 million decrease related to the Reorganization.
 
  Annuity and surrender benefits decreased $72.1 million to $12.8 million,
primarily due to a $76.3 million effect of the Reorganization.
 
  Commissions decreased $19.2 million to $11.4 million. This decrease is
primarily related to a reduction in product sales and $9.1 million due to the
Reorganization.
 
  General expenses decreased $6.7 million to $20.3 million for the first six
months of 1996. This decrease is related to the effects of the Reorganization
of $10.0 million offset by increased salaries and marketing expenditures.
 
  Amortization of intangibles, net--The Company established goodwill and
present value of future profits (PVFP) assets in connection with the GNA and
GE Capital Assurance acquisitions. This decrease of $11.5 million is primarily
related to the effects of the Reorganization.
 
  Increase in deferred acquisition costs decreased $19.1 million primarily as
a result of a $19.2 million decrease in commissions reflecting reduced sales
of fixed annuities.
 
INVESTMENTS
 
  Fixed Maturities. The Company's fixed maturities must be invested in
accordance with requirements of applicable state laws and regulations
regarding the nature and quality of investments that may be made by life
insurance companies and the percentage of assets that may be held in certain
types of investments. At June 30, 1996, approximately 66.3% of fixed maturity
investments were in corporate issues and US Treasury notes and
 
                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
another 33.7% in securities backed by residential mortgages. Approximately
83.0% of the fixed maturities portfolio (excluding mortgage backed securities)
is expected to mature within 10 years. Approximately 22.5%, 19.4%, and 8.4% of
the portfolio were concentrated in the manufacturing, financial and utility
industries, respectively. As of June 30, 1996, .7% of the Company's
diversified portfolio was rated below investment grade and no bonds were in
default as to interest and principal.
 
  All of the Company's fixed maturities were designated as available-for-sale
at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. Unrealized gains and losses, net of
the effects of present value of future profits, deferred acquisition costs,
and deferred taxes have been included in shareholder's interest as of June 30,
1996. Shareholder's interest included net unrealized losses of $12.8 million
and net unrealized gains of $29.9 million at June 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995, respectively, a difference primarily due to a decrease in the fair value
of fixed maturities, principally resulting from higher interest rates.
 
  Mortgage Loans. At June 30, 1996, the mortgage loan portfolio consisted of
1,109 mortgage loans on commercial real estate properties, 46% of which are
located in California. The loans, which were originated through a network of
mortgage bankers, were made only on completed leased properties and have loan-
to-value-ratios of 75% or less at the date of origination. GNA does not engage
in construction lending or land loans.
 
  At June 30, 1996, impaired loans amounted to $14.9 million. All of these
loans are fully recoverable and do not require an allowance for losses. GNA's
average investment in impaired loans is $12.9 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1996, with revenue of $0.5 million recognized, principally on
the cash basis.
 
  Real Estate Owned. All real estate holdings are a result of mortgage loan
foreclosure. Properties are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less
estimated cost to sell. At June 30, 1996, the Company holds 1 property, valued
at $0.5 million, for which management intends to market in an orderly fashion
to maximize its value.
