A Message
From
The Chairman of the Board
and President of AUL American Series Fund, Inc.

To Participants in AUL American Individual Unit Trust
     The U.S.  economy  continued  to surprise  investors  with its  performance
during  1997.  The current  seven year The U.S.  economy  continued  to surprise
investors with its performance during 1997. The current seven year expansion has
been unique in that economic  growth has remained  moderate  while  inflationary
pressures have been subdued.  The inflation rate actually  declined during 1997,
allowing the Federal Reserve to hold monetary policy steady during the last nine
months of the year.  Other  positive  economic  factors during the year included
lower interest rates, higher productivity and improved corporate profit margins.

     Equity  investors  were richly  rewarded  during the past year with the Dow
Jones  Industrial  Average and the S&P 500 (commonly quoted equity indices) both
achieving double digit returns. During 1997, equity investors reacted positively
to  the  combination  of  slow  growth  and  moderate  inflation.  However,  the
volatility of returns increased  dramatically during the second half of the year
as investors  became  fearful that  corporations  would  experience a decline in
profit growth during 1998. Severe weakness in Asia and Latin America was another
principal catalyst causing increased volatility.

     Bond yields  moved  higher in the first  quarter of 1997 in reaction to the
Federal  Reserve Bank's 25 basis point increase in the Federal Funds rate target
but declined over the  remainder of the year.  Moderate  inflation,  a declining
federal eficit, and turmoil in the Asian markets caused the Federal Reserve Bank
to withhold any further  intervention,  despite strong  economic  growth and low
unemployment.  As a result,  bond  returns,  especially  for bonds  with  longer
maturities,  were  competitive with common stocks in the last six months of 1997
although they still trailed well behind equity returns for the entire year.

     At the present  time,  most  economists  are expecting  economic  growth to
decelerate in 1998 as a result of weaker  domestic demand and momentum lost from
foreign trade.  Slower growth does have some positive aspects.  However,  equity
investors remain focused on the possibility of weaker corporate profits.

     Equity  investors  have now  experienced  three years of phenomenal  equity
returns, returns which are substantially higher than the long-term averages. The
major  stock  indices  could  still post  further  gains  during  1998,  but the
opportunity to dramatically  outperform the long-term averages becomes extremely
limited.  Good  bond  performance  will  depend  on  declining  interest  rates,
continued   moderate  inflation  and  bonds  being  viewed  as  an  "alternative

Report of Independent Accountants


The Contract Owners of
AUL American Individual Unit Trust and
Board of Directors of
American United Life Insurance Company 


We have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of net  assets of AUL  American
Individual  Unit Trust as of December 31, 1997,  and the related  statements  of
operations  and  changes  in net  assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the Trust's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements 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. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1997, by correspondence with
the 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.   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 AUL American  Individual Unit
Trust as of December 31, 1997,  and the results of its operations and changes in
net assets for each of the two years in the period  then  ended,  in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant  Accounting  Policies
The AUL American  Individual  Unit Trust  (Variable  Account) was established by
American United Life Insurance Company (AUL) on April 14, 1994, under procedures
established  by Indiana law and is registered as a unit  investment  trust under
the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as  amended.  The  Variable  Account is a
segregated  investment account for individual  variable annuity contracts issued
by AUL and invests  exclusively in shares of mutual fund  portfolios  offered by
the AUL American Series Fund, Inc. (Series Fund),  Fidelity Investments Variable
Insurance  Products  Fund and Variable  Insurance  Products  Fund  II(Fidelity),
American Century Variable  Portfolios,  Inc. (American Century),  Alger American
Fund (Alger), Acacia Capital Corporation (Calvert), T. Rowe Price Equity Series,
Inc. (T. Rowe Price), and PBHG Insurance Series Fund, Inc. (PBHG).

Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Income
The market value of  investments  is based on the closing bid prices at December
31,  1997.  Investment  transactions  are  accounted  for on the trade  date and
dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Mortality and Expense Risks Charges
AUL deducts a daily charge as  compensation  for the mortality and expense risks
assumed by AUL.  The charge is equal on an annual  basis to 1.25% of the average
daily net assets of each investment  account.  AUL guarantees that the mortality
and expense  charge shall not increase.  The charges  incurred  during the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were $1,301,444 and $539,383 respectively.

Taxes
Operations  of the  Variable  Account  are  part of,  and are  taxed  with,  the
operations  of AUL,  which is  taxed as a "life  insurance  company"  under  the
Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, investment income,  including realized
and unrealized capital gains of the investment accounts,  is not taxed to AUL to
the extent it is applied to increase reserves under the contracts.  The Variable
Account has not been  charged for federal and state income taxes since none have
been imposed.

Estimates
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported  amounts of increases and  decreases in net assets from  operations
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Account Charges
AUL may assess a premium tax charge  based on premium  taxes  incurred.  Premium
taxes  currently  range  between  0% and  3.5%,  but are  subject  to  change by
governmental entities.

AUL  deducts an annual  administrative  charge from each  contract  equal to the
lesser of 2% of the contract value or $30. The fee is assessed every year on the
contract  anniversary date during the  accumulation  period but is waived if the
contract  value exceeds  $50,000 on the contract  anniversary  date. The charges
incurred  during the years ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996 were  $81,617 and
$21,722, respectively.

AUL may  assess a  withdrawal  charge  on  withdrawals  that  exceed  12% of the
contract value at the time of the first withdrawal in a contract year.  However,
the contract owner has a right to a full refund of the contributions  made under
the contract for any reason within ten days of original contract purchase.  If a
particular state allows a longer "free look" period, then such state law will be
followed for  Participants  residing in that state. The amount of the withdrawal
charge depends upon the type of contract and the length of time the contract has
existed, as follows:
       Flexible Premium Contract One Year Flexible Premium Contract
                                         
      Contract Year        Withdrawal Charge    Contract Year Withdrawal Charge
                                              
             1       10%            1         7%
             2        9%            2         6%
             3        8%            3         5%
             4        7%            4         4%
             5        6%            5         3%
             6        5%            6         2%
             7        4%            7         1%
             8        3%            8         0%
             9        2%
            10        1%
            11        0%
The aggregate withdrawal charges will not exceed 8.5% of the total premiums paid
on a Flexible  Premium  Contract or 8% of the total  premiums paid on a One Year
Flexible Premium Contract.
