SELECT ADVISORS VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    Select  Advisors Variable Insurance Trust  (the "Trust") is registered under
the Investment  Company  Act of  1940,  as  amended as  an  open-end  management
investment  company organized as  a Massachusetts business  trust on February 7,
1994.  The  Trust  consists  of  five  Portfolios:  Emerging  Growth  Portfolio,
International Equity Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Income Opportunity Portfolio
and Standby Income Portfolio ("Portfolios").
 
    The  initial  capital contributions  of  $1,999,920 to  the  Emerging Growth
Portfolio, the Balanced Portfolio, and the Income Opportunity Portfolio, and the
initial  capital  contributions  of  $4,999,920  to  the  International   Equity
Portfolio  and the Standby  Income Portfolio were  made by Western-Southern Life
Assurance Company ("Western-Southern").
 
    The Trust offers shares of beneficial interest of each portfolio to separate
accounts of Western-Southern as a  funding vehicle for certain variable  annuity
contracts issued by Western-Southern through the separate accounts.
 
    The accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles  (GAAP)  for  investment  companies.  The  preparation  of  financial
statements in conformity  with GAAP  requires management to  make estimates  and
assumptions  that affect  the related amounts  and disclosures  in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
    The following is  a summary of  the significant accounting  policies of  the
Portfolios:
 
    a)   INVESTMENT  VALUATION.   The value of  each security  for which readily
available market quotations exist is based on a decision as to the broadest  and
most representative market for such security. The value of such security will be
based  either on the last  sale price on a  national securities exchange, or, in
the absence of  recorded sales, at  the readily available  closing bid price  on
such  exchanges,  or at  the quoted  bid price  in the  over-the-counter market.
Securities listed on foreign exchanges are valued at the last quoted sale  price
available  before the net  assets are valued. Unlisted  securities are valued at
the average of the quoted bid  and asked prices in the over-the-counter  market.
Debt  securities are  valued by  a pricing  service which  determines valuations
based upon market transactions for  normal, institutional-size trading units  of
similar  securities. Securities or other assets  for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued at fair value in good faith in accordance  with
procedures  established  by the  Trustees. Such  procedures  include the  use of
independent pricing services, which  use prices based upon  yields or prices  of
securities  of comparable quality, coupon, maturity  and type; indications as to
values from dealers; and general market  conditions. All debt securities with  a
remaining  maturity of  less than  60 days are  valued at  amortized cost, which
approximates market.
 
    b)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.  The accounting records of the  Portfolios
are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of investment securities, other
assets  and liabilities and forward  contracts denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at the end  of
the  period. Purchases  and sales  of securities,  income receipts,  and expense
payments are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective  dates
of such transactions. Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency
transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized  between the trade and settlement  dates on securities transactions and
the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the  U.S.
dollar  amount actually  received. The  effects of  changes in  foreign currency
exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the  Statement
of  Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of these securities,
but are  included  with  the  net  realized  and  unrealized  gain  or  loss  on
investments.
 
    c)   INVESTMENT  INCOME.   Dividend income  is recorded  on ex-dividend date
except that certain dividends from foreign securities where ex-dividend date has
passed are recorded as  soon as the  fund is informed  of the ex-dividend  date.
Interest  income, which  includes the amortization  of premium  and accretion of
discount, if any, is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend and interest  income
is recorded net of foreign taxes where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
 
    d)   DIVIDENDS  AND DISTRIBUTIONS.   Distributions  to shareholders  for the
Emerging Growth Portfolio, International  Equity Portfolio, Balanced  Portfolio,
and   Income  Opportunity  Portfolio  are  recorded  by  the  Portfolio  on  the
ex-dividend date. It  is the policy  of the Standby  Income Portfolio to  record
income   dividends  daily   and  distribute   them  monthly.   Distributions  to
shareholders of  net realized  capital  gains, if  any,  are declared  and  paid
annually.
 
    Income  and  capital gain  distributions are  determined in  accordance with
income tax  regulations  which may  differ  from generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  Permanent book  and tax  basis differences  relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed
net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences which
will reverse in a subsequent period.

    e)  FEDERAL TAXES.   Each Portfolio  of the Trust is  treated as a  separate
entity  for federal  income tax purposes.  Each Portfolio's policy  is to comply
with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable
to regulated  investment  companies  and to  distribute  substantially  all  its
income, including net realized capital gains, if any, within the prescribed time
periods.  Accordingly, no provision  for a federal income  tax is necessary. The
following Portfolios have capital loss carryforwards expiring December 2003.

<S>                                <C>
International Equity Portfolio                 $ 179,311
Income Opportunity Portfolio                      54,524
Standby Income Portfolio                           3,311
</TABLE>
 
    f)   FORWARD CURRENCY  CONTRACTS.   Each Portfolio  may enter  into  forward
foreign  currency contracts  to protect  securities and  related receivables and
payables against fluctuations in foreign  currency rates. A forward contract  is
an  agreement to buy  or sell currencies  of different countries  on a specified
future date at a specified rate.
 
    Risks associated with such  contracts include the movement  in the value  of
the  foreign  currency  relative to  the  U.S.  dollar and  the  ability  of the
counterparty to perform. The  market value of the  contract will fluctuate  with
changes  in  currency  exchange  rates.  Contracts  are  valued  daily  based on
procedures established by and under the  general supervision of the Trustees  of
the  Portfolio  Trust and  the change  in the  market value  is recorded  by the
Portfolios  as  unrealized  appreciation  or  depreciation  of  forward  foreign
currency  contracts. As  of June 30,  1996, the  Touchstone International Equity
Portfolio had an open  forward foreign currency contract  to deliver $17,824  on
July  2, 1996, in exchange for L11,499. As of June 30, 1996, the market value of
this contract was $17,859, resulting in unrealized appreciation of $35.
 
    g)  ORGANIZATION EXPENSE.  Organization expenses were deferred and are being
amortized by each  Portfolio on a  straight-line basis over  a five-year  period
from  commencement of  operations. Each Portfolio's  organizational fees payable
includes fees and expenses payable to Touchstone Advisors, Inc., a subsidiary of
Western-Southern, of $18,141 ($18,271 for Standby Income Portfolio). The  amount
paid  by the Trust on any redemption  by Touchstone Advisors, Inc. or, any other
then-current holder of the organizational seed capital shares ("Initial Shares")
of the Portfolio, will be reduced  by a portion of any unamortized  organization
expenses  of the  Portfolio determined  by the proportion  of the  number of the
Initial Shares of the Portfolio redeemed to the number of the Initial Shares  of
the Portfolio outstanding after taking into account any prior redemptions of the
Initial Shares of the Portfolio.
 
    h)   OTHER.  Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. For
financial and tax reporting purposes,  realized gains and losses are  determined
on the basis of specific lot identification.
 
2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    a)    SPONSOR.    Touchstone Advisors,  Inc.  ("Sponsor"),  a  subsidiary of
Western-Southern, as  sponsor to  the  Trust, pursuant  to a  Sponsor  Agreement
provides  oversight of the various service providers to the Trust, including the
Trust's Administrator, Custodian and  Transfer Agent. As  Sponsor to the  Trust,
Touchstone  Advisors  reserves the  right  to receive  a  sponsor fee  from each
portfolio on an annual  basis up to  0.20% of average daily  net assets of  that
Portfolio  for  its  then-current  fiscal year.  The  Sponsor  Agreement  may be
terminated by the Sponsor or by the Trust on not less than 30 days prior written
notice. The Sponsor has advised the Trust that it will waive all fees under  the
Sponsor Agreement through April 30, 1997.
 
    b)  INVESTMENT ADVISOR.  The Trust has an investment advisory agreement with
the  Sponsor.  Under  the  terms  of  the  investment  advisory  agreement, each
Portfolio pays  an investment  advisory  fee that  is  computed daily  and  paid
monthly.  For the six  months ended June  30, 1996, each  Portfolio incurred the
following investment advisory  fees equal on  an annual basis  to the  following
percentages of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.

daily  net assets of  all the Portfolios.  Rates are reduced  on a sliding scale
