                                 ANNUAL REPORT
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
Dear Policyholder:
 
  We are pleased to send you the 1996 Annual Report of American Life's
Separate Account No. 3. This account is an investment vehicle for participants
in our Variable Universal Life policies. The Account commenced operations in
late 1994. Separate Account No. 3 consists of sixteen distinct funds. Each
invests in shares of one of eight funds of Mutual of America Investment
Corporation ("Investment Company"): the Money Market, All America (formerly
the Stock Fund), Equity Index, Bond, Short-Term Bond, Mid-Term Bond, Composite
and Aggressive Equity Funds; three portfolios of Scudder Variable Life
Investment Fund: The Scudder Bond, Capital Growth and International Funds; the
TCI Growth Fund of TCI Portfolios, Inc.; Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced
Portfolio (formerly Calvert Socially Responsible Series) of Acacia Capital
Corporation; and, three portfolios of Fidelity Investments: Equity-Income,
Contrafund and Asset Manager Funds.
 
  Each of the Funds of Separate Account No. 3 owns shares in a similarly named
Fund of Mutual of America Investment Corporation, Portfolio of Scudder
Variable Life Investment Fund ("Scudder"), Fund of TCI Portfolios, Inc.
("TCI"), Calvert Responsibly Invested Portfolio of Acacia Capital Corporation
("Calvert"), Fidelity Investments Variable Insurance Products Fund and
Variable Insurance Products Fund II ("Fidelity"). The investment results of
each of the Funds of Separate Account No. 3 are based on the performance of
the corresponding Funds or Portfolios, respectively, of the Investment
Company, Scudder, TCI, Calvert and Fidelity.
 
  The Separate Account Funds invest in Funds and Portfolios which have the
following investment objectives:
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY MONEY MARKET FUND: This Fund seeks to obtain high
current income to the extent consistent with the maintenance of liquidity,
investment quality and stability of capital through investments in money
market instruments and other short-term debt securities.
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ALL AMERICA FUND: The investment objective for
approximately 60% of the assets of this Fund (the "Indexed Assets") is to
provide investment results that to the extent practical corresponds to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index. The Indexed Assets
are invested in the same manner as the Equity Index Fund described below. The
investment objective for the remaining approximately 40% of the assets (the
"Active Assets") is to achieve a high level of total return, through both
appreciation of capital and, to a lesser extent, current income, by means of a
diversified portfolio of securities that may include common stocks, securities
convertible into common stocks, bonds and money market instruments.
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY EQUITY INDEX FUND: This Fund seeks to duplicate, as
closely as possible, the investment performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Index ("S&P 500") by investing in approximately 500 publicly traded
stocks that comprise the S&P 500 ("Standard & Poor's 500", "S&P" and "S&P 500"
are trademarks of Standard & Poor's Corporation.)
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY BOND FUND: This Fund seeks a high level of current
income, together with preservation of capital, through investments in such
securities as U.S. Government, corporate and other notes and bonds.
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY SHORT-TERM BOND FUND: This Fund seeks a high level of
current income, together with preservation of capital, through investments in
such securities as U.S. Government, corporate and other notes and bonds with
an average maturity of one to three years.
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY MID-TERM BOND FUND: This Fund seeks a high level of
current income, together with preservation of capital, through investments in
such securities as U.S. Government, corporate and other notes and bonds with
an average maturity of three to seven years.
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY COMPOSITE FUND: This Fund seeks a high total rate of
return on investments, through both appreciation of capital and current
income, through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, bonds
and money market instruments.
 
  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY AGGRESSIVE EQUITY FUND: The investment objective for
approximately half of the assets of the Fund (the "Aggressive Growth
Portfolio") is to achieve capital appreciation by investing in companies
believed to
 
                                       I
<PAGE>
 
possess above-average growth potential. Growth can be in the areas of earnings
or gross sales which can be measured in either dollars or in unit volume. The
investment objective for the other half of the assets of the Fund (the
"Aggressive Value Portfolio") is to achieve capital appreciation by investing
in companies believed to possess valuable assets or whose securities are
undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as a company's
assets, earnings or growth potential.
 
  THE SCUDDER BOND PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks a high level of income
consistent with a high quality portfolio of debt securities.
 
  THE SCUDDER CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks to maximize long-
term capital growth through a broad and flexible investment program. The
Portfolio invests in marketable securities, principally common stocks, and
consistent with its objective, may invest in preferred stocks, debt securities
and foreign securities.
 
  THE SCUDDER INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks long-term capital
growth through investing primarily in diversified holdings of marketable
foreign equity investments in companies, wherever organized, that do business
primarily outside the United States and which are listed on foreign exchanges.
 
  THE TCI GROWTH FUND: This Fund seeks capital growth over time by investing
primarily in common stocks (including securities convertible into common
stocks) that are considered by management to have better-than-average
prospects for appreciation.
 
  THE CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED BALANCED PORTFOLIO: This Fund seeks capital
growth and a total return above the rate of inflation through an actively
managed portfolio of stocks, bonds and money market instruments selected with
a concern for the social impact of each investment.
 
  THE FIDELITY EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO: Seeks reasonable income by investing
primarily in income-producing equity securities while also considering the
potential for capital appreciation. Secondarily, the Portfolio's goal is to
achieve a yield that exceeds the composite yield on the securities comprising
the S & P 500 Composite Index.
 
  THE FIDELITY CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO: Seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in a broad variety of common stocks using both growth-
oriented and contrarian disciplines.
 
  THE FIDELITY ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO: Seeks high long-term return with
reduced risk by allocating assets among a broadly diversified mix of stocks,
bonds and short-term fixed-income instruments.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1996, the following total returns were
experienced in these sixteen Separate Account Funds:

  Total return is equal to the changes in the value of a unit of participation
in a Fund from the beginning to the end of the specified period. It reflects
investment income earned and reinvested plus the changes in the market value
(whether realized or unrealized) of the securities in the respective Fund or
Portfolio of the Investment Company, Scudder, TCI, Calvert or Fidelity during
the indicated period. Results are net of all charges, including a monthly
service charge based upon a hypothetical $1,000 invested at the beginning of
the period. These returns are not guaranteed and are not necessarily
indicative of the future investment performance of the particular Fund.
Withdrawals and contributions made within a period would experience different
rates of return based on the respective unit values on the dates of such
transactions.
 
  This report includes financial statements for each Fund of Separate Account
No. 3. Following this report are the financial statements for each similarly
named Fund of the Investment Company, Portfolios of Scudder, Fund of TCI,
Portfolio of Calvert and Portfolios of Fidelity Investments.
 
  I hope you will find this report helpful and informative.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
 
  Separate Account No. 3 of The American Life Insurance Company ("the
Company") was established in conformity with New York Insurance Law and
commenced operations on December 21, 1994 as a unit investment trust. On that
date, the following American Life funds became available as investment
options: Money Market Fund, All America Fund, Bond Fund, Composite Fund,
Equity Index Fund, Short-Term Bond Fund, Mid-Term Bond Fund, Aggressive Equity
Fund, Scudder Bond Fund, Scudder Capital Growth Fund, Scudder International
Fund, TCI Growth Fund, and the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Fund. The
American Life funds invest in a corresponding Fund of Mutual of America
Investment Corporation ("Investment Company"), Portfolio of Scudder Variable
Life Investment Fund ("Scudder"), Fund of TCI Portfolios Inc. ("TCI") and a
corresponding Fund of Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio
(formerly "Calvert Socially Responsible Series") of Acacia Capital Corporation
("Calvert").
 
  On May 1, 1995, Fidelity Investments Equity-Income, Contrafund and Asset
Manager Funds became available to Separate Account No. 3 as investment
options. The Fidelity Equity-Income Fund invests in the corresponding
Portfolio of the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund and the Contrafund
and Asset Manager Funds invest in corresponding Portfolios of the Fidelity
Variable Insurance Products Fund II (collectively, "Fidelity").
 
  Separate Account No. 3 was formed by the Company to support the operations
of the Company's variable universal life insurance policies. The assets of
Separate Account No. 3 are the property of the Company. The portion of
Separate Account No. 3's assets applicable to the policies will not be charged
with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
 
  The significant accounting policies of Separate Account No. 3 are as
follows:
 
  Investment Valuation -- Investments are made in shares of the Investment
Company, Scudder, TCI, Calvert and Fidelity and are valued at the reported net
asset values of the respective Funds and Portfolios.
 
  Investment Transactions -- Investment transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined based
on the average cost of the investment sold.
 
  Federal Income Taxes -- Separate Account No. 3 will be treated as a part of
the Company and will not be taxed separately as a "regulated investment
company" under existing law. The Company is taxed as a life insurance company
under the life insurance tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
No provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial
statements.

3. EXPENSES
 
  Administrative Fees and Expenses and Cost of Insurance -- In connection with
its administrative functions, the Company deducts daily charges at an annual
rate of .40% (except for the TCI Growth Fund for which the rate charged is
 .20%) from the value of the net assets of each fund. Monthly charges equaling
the lesser of $2.00 or 1/12 of 1% of account value may also be deducted. The
cost of insurance charges, to compensate the Company for life insurance
coverage provided under the policies, are deducted monthly and reflected as
net transfers in the accompanying financial statements.
 
  Mortality and Expense Risk Fees -- The Company assumes the risk that
insureds may live for a shorter period of time than estimated for purposes of
current or guaranteed cost of insurance rates; for this it deducts a risk
charge daily at an annual rate of .70% from the value of the net assets of
each fund. An expense risk charge, deducted daily at an annual rate of .15%
from the value of the net assets of each fund, compensates the Company for the
risk that administrative expenses incurred are greater than estimated.

respective Funds or Portfolios at net asset value. On December 30, 1996 a

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To The American Life Insurance Company of New York:
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
American Life Separate Account No. 3 as of December 31, 1996, and the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
American Life Separate Account No. 3 as of December 31, 1996, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each
of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
