+++ These Portfolios commenced operations in February 1998.  Expenses shown 
are annualized and are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal 
year.  Actual expenses may be greater or less than shown.

* Effective September 1, 1997, the management fee rates for these funds were 
revised.  The management fees ratios shown in the table above have been 
adjusted to assume that the revised rates took effect on January 1, 1997.

** The Select Value Opportunity Fund was formerly known as the "Small-Mid Cap 
Value Fund."  Effective April 1, 1997, the management fee rate of the former 
Small-Mid Cap Value Fund was revised.  In addition, effective April 1, 1997 
and until further notice, the management fee for this fund has been 
voluntarily limited to an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net assets.  
The management fee ratio shown above for the Select Value Opportunity Fund 
has been adjusted to assume that the revised rate and the voluntary 
limitation took effect on January 1, 1997.  Had the voluntary limitation of 
0.90% not been effective on January 1, 1997 and had the management fee rate 
revision discussed above been effective on January 1, 1997, the management 
fee ratio and the total fund expense ratio would have been 0.95% and 1.09%, 
respectively.

(1) Until further notice, Allmerica Investment Management Company, Inc. 
("Manager"), under the Management Agreement with Allmerica Investment Trust, 
has declared a voluntary expense limitation of 1.50% of average net assets 
for Select International Equity Fund, 1.35% for Select Aggressive Growth Fund 
and Select Capital Appreciation Fund, 1.25% for Select Value Opportunity 
Fund, 1.20% for Select Strategic Growth and Select Growth Fund, 1.10% for 
Select Growth and Income Fund, 1.00% for Select Income Fund and 0.60% for 
Money Market Fund.  In addition, the Manager has agreed to waive voluntarily 
its management fee to the extent that expenses of the Select Emerging Markets 
Fund exceed 2.00% of the Fund's average daily assets, except that such waiver 
shall not exceed the net amount of management fees earned by the Manager from 
the fund after subtracting fees paid by the Manager to Schroder Capital 
Management International Inc. for sub-advisory fees.  The total operating 
expenses of the funds of the Trust were less than their respective expense 
limitations throughout 1997.  The declaration of a voluntary expense 
limitation in any year does not bind Allmerica Investments to declare future 
expense limitations with respect to these funds.

(2) A portion of the brokerage commissions the Portfolio paid was used to 
reduce Fund expenses.  Including these reductions, total operating expenses 
would have been 0.57% for the Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio and 0.67% 
for the Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio.

(3) These Funds have entered into agreements with brokers whereby the brokers 
rebate a portion of commissions.  Had these amounts been treated as 
reductions of expenses, the total operating expenses would have been 1.10% 
for Select International Equity Fund, 0.91% for Select Growth Fund, 0.74% for 
Select Growth and Income Fund, 0.93% for Select Aggressive Growth, and 0.98% 
for Select Value Opportunity Fund.

the first, sixth and eighth summaries respectively under "INVESTMENT

          investing in the world's emerging markets.
          
          SELECT VALUE OPPORTUNITY FUND -- seeks long-term growth of capital 
          by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks 
          of small and mid-size companies, whose securities at the time of

          SELECT STRATEGIC GROWTH FUND -- seeks long-term growth of capital by
          investing primarily in common stocks of established companies.

"INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES" on page 21 of the Prospectus:
          
          The Manager's fee, computed daily at an annual rate based on the
          average daily net asset value of the Fund, will be 1.35% for Select
          Emerging Markets Fund and 0.85% for Select Strategic Growth Fund.
          For the Select Value Opportunity Fund, the fee will be 1.00% for net
          asset value up to $100,000,000; 0.85% on the next $150,000,000; 
          0.80% on the next $250,000,000; 0.75% on the next $250,000,000 and
          0.70% on the remainder.

Footnote 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED) under "Notes to Financial 
Statements" on page F-17 is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the 
following:

On April 14, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement in principle to 
transfer the Company's individual disability income business under a 100% 
coinsurance agreement to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The coinsurance 
agreement became effective October 1, 1997. The transaction has resulted in 
the recognition of a $53.9 million pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 1997.

In late July 1997, a lawsuit was instituted in Louisiana against Allmerica 
Financial Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Company, 
by individual plaintiffs alleging fraud, unfair or deceptive acts, breach of 
contracts, misrepresentations and related claims in the sale of life 
insurance policies. In October 1997, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the 
Louisiana suit and refiled the action in Federal District Court in Worcester, 
Massachusetts. The plaintiffs seek to be certified as a class. The case is in 
the early stages of discovery and the Company is evaluating the claims. 
Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to plaintiff's 
claims, there can be no assurance that the claim will be resolved on a basis 
which is satisfactory to the Company.

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION

     The Allmerica Select Separate Account II (Allmerica Select II) is a
separate investment account of  Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity
Company (the Company), established on May 1, 1995 for the purpose of separating
from the general assets of the Company those assets used to fund the variable
portion of certain flexible premium variable life policies issued by the
Company. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Allmerica Financial
Life Insurance Company (First Allmerica). First Allmerica is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Allmerica Financial Corporation (AFC). Under applicable insurance
law, the assets and liabilities of Allmerica Select II are clearly identified
and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of the Company.
Allmerica Select II cannot be charged with liabilities arising out of any other
business of the Company. 

     Allmerica Select II is registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Allmerica Select II
currently offers eleven Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in a
corresponding investment portfolio of the Allmerica Investment Trust (the Trust)
managed by Allmerica Investment Management Company, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of First Allmerica or of the Variable Insurance Products Fund
(Fidelity VIP), managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or of
the T. Rowe Price International Series, Inc. (T. Rowe Price) managed by  Rowe

(the Funds) are open-end, diversified management investment companies registered
under the 1940 Act.

     INVESTMENTS -- Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Investments held by the Sub-Accounts are stated at the net asset value per share
of the respective investment portfolio of the Trust, Fidelity VIP, or T. Rowe
Price. Net realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
average cost method. Dividends and capital gain distributions are recorded on
the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in additional shares of the respective
investment portfolio of the Trust, Fidelity VIP, or T. Rowe Price at net asset
value. 

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Company is taxed as a "life insurance company"
under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code and files a consolidated federal

             ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
      (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

                        NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation 

Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("Allmerica Financial" 
or the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of SMA Financial Corp., which 
is wholly owned by First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company ("First 
Allmerica"), a stock life insurance company.  First Allmerica is a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Allmerica Financial Corporation ("AFC"). The 
stockholder's equity of the Company is being maintained at a minimum level of 
5% of general account assets by First Allmerica in accordance with a policy 
established by vote of First Allmerica's Board of Directors.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Allmerica Financial have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
stock life insurance companies for interim financial information.  The 
Company began preparing financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles for the nine months ended September 31, 1996.  
Adjustments to conform with generally accepted accounting principles are not 
available on a quarterly basis prior to September 30, 1996.  Accordingly, 
quarterly comparative amounts for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 
1997 are not presented.

The accompanying interim financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the 
Company's management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and 
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial 
position and results of operations.  The results of operations for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results 
to be expected for the full year.  These financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the Company's 1996 annual audited financial statements.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS No. 130).  FAS No. 130 established 
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its 
components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  All items 
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components 
of comprehensive income are to be reported in a financial statement that is 
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  This 
statement stipulates that comprehensive income reflect the change in equity 
of an enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and 
circumstances from non-owner sources.  Comprehensive income will thus 
represent the sum of net income and other comprehensive income, although FAS 
No. 130 does not require the use of the terms comprehensive income or other 
comprehensive income.  The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income 
shall be displayed separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in 
capital in the statement of financial position.  This statement is effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company anticipates 
that the adoption of FAS No. 130 will result primarily in reporting 
unrealized gains and losses on investments in debt and equity securities in 
comprehensive income.

2.  Significant Transactions

On April 14, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement in principle to 
transfer the Company's individual disability income business under a 100% 
coinsurance agreement to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.  The 
coinsurance agreement became effective October 1, 1997.  The transaction has 
resulted in the recognition of a $53.9 million pre-tax loss in the first 
quarter of 1997.

3. Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 
1996, have been computed using estimated effective tax rates.  These rates 
are revised, if necessary, at the end of each successive interim period to 
reflect the current estimates of the annual effective tax rates.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

In late July 1997, a lawsuit was instituted in Louisiana against AFC and 
certain of its subsidiaries, by individual plaintiffs alleging fraud, unfair 
or deceptive acts, breach of contract, misrepresentation and related claims 
in the sale of life insurance policies.  In October 1997, plaintiffs 
voluntarily dismissed the Louisiana suit and refiled the action in Federal 
District Court in Worcester, Massachusetts.  The plaintiffs seek to be 
certified as a class.  The case is in the early stages of discovery and the 
Company is evaluating the claims.  Although the Company believes it has 
meritorious defenses to plaintiffs' claims, there can be no assurance that 
the claims will be resolved on a basis which is satisfactory to the Company.

PART II


UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.

RULE 484 UNDERTAKING

Article VIII of Registrant's Bylaws provides: Each Director and each Officer of
the Corporation, whether or not in office, (and his executors or
administrators), shall be indemnified or reimbursed by the Corporation against
all expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him in the defense or
reasonable settlement of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he is made a
party by reason of his being or having been a Director or Officer of the
Corporation, including any sums paid in settlement or to discharge judgment,
except in relation to matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in such
action, suit, or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duties as such Director or Officer; and the foregoing right
of indemnification or reimbursement shall not affect any other rights to which
he may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, any statute, bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

REPRESENTATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 26(e) OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

The Company hereby represents that the aggregate fees and charges under the
Policy are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses
expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the Company.

REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS ON SECTION 403(B) PLANS UNDER
THE TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM.

The Company and its registered separate accounts which fund annuity contracts
issued in connection with Section 403(b) plans have relied (a) on Rule 6c-7
under the 1940 Act with respect to withdrawal restrictions under the Texas
Optional Retirement Program ("Program") and (b) on the "no-action" letter (Ref.
No. IP-6-88) issued on November 28, 1988 to the American Council of Life
Insurance, in applying the withdrawal restrictions of Internal Revenue Code
Section 403(b)(11).  The variable life insurance Policies issued by the
Registrant may be issued in connection with Section 403(b) plans ("Plans"), and
would be subject to the same restrictions on redeemability which are applicable
to annuity contracts issued to such Plans.  The Company and the Registrant
represent that they will take the following steps in connection with the
issuance of the policies to Section 403(b) plans:

1.   Appropriate disclosures regarding the redemption restrictions imposed by 
     the Program and by Section 403(b)(11) have been included in the prospectus
     of each registration statement issued in connection with the offer of the
     Company's variable contracts.

2.   Appropriate disclosure regarding the redemption restrictions imposed by the
     Program and by section 403(b)(11) have been included in sales literature
     used in connection with the offer of the Company's variable contracts.

<PAGE>

3.   Sales Representatives who solicit participants to purchase the variable
     contracts have been instructed to specifically bring the redemption
     restrictions imposed by the Program and by Section 403(b) (11) to the
     attention of potential participants.

4.   A signed statement acknowledging the participant's understanding of (i) the
     restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program and by Section 403(b)(11)
     and (ii) the investment alternatives available under the employer's
     arrangement will be obtained from each participant who purchases a variable
     contract prior to or at the time of purchase.

Registrant hereby represents that it will not act to deny or limit a transfer
request except to the extent that a Service-Ruling or written opinion of
counsel, specifically addressing the fact pattern involved and taking into
account the terms of the applicable employer plan, determines that denial or
limitation is necessary for the variable contracts to meet the requirements of
the Program or of Section 403(b).  Any transfer request not so denied or limited
will be effected as expeditiously as possible.

RE:  ALLMERICA SELECT SEPARATE ACCOUNT II OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE
     AND ANNUITY COMPANY FILE NOS. 33-83604 AND 811-8746

Gentlemen:

In my capacity as Counsel of Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity 
Company (the "Company"), I have participated in the preparation of this 
Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement for the Allmerica 
Select Separate Account II on Form S-6 under the Securities Act of 1933 with 
respect to the Company's individual flexible premium variable life insurance 
policies.

I am of the following opinion:

1.   The Allmerica Select Separate Account II is a separate account of the
     Company validly existing pursuant to the Delaware Insurance Code and the
     regulations issued thereunder.

2.   The assets held in the Allmerica Select Separate Account II equal to the
     reserves and other Policy liabilities of the Policies which are supported
     by the Allmerica Select Separate Account II are not chargeable with
     liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

3.   The individual flexible premium variable life insurance policies, when
     issued in accordance with the Prospectus contained in the Registration
     Statement and upon compliance with applicable local law, will be legal and
     binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms and when
     sold will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of law and
examined such records and other documents as in my judgment are necessary or
appropriate.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to this 
Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement of the Allmerica 
Select Separate Account II on Form S-6  filed under the Securities Act of 
1933.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       /s/ Sheila B. St. Hilaire

                                       Sheila B. St. Hilaire
                                       Assistant Vice President and Counsel

RE:  ALLMERICA SELECT SEPARATE ACCOUNT II OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE
     AND ANNUITY COMPANY FILE NOS. 33-83604 AND 811-8746

Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing by Allmerica Financial
Life Insurance and Annuity Company of a Post-Effective Amendment to the
Registration Statement on Form S-6 of its flexible premium variable life
insurance policies ("Policies") allocated to the Allmerica Select Separate
Account II under the Securities Act of 1933.  The prospectus included in the
Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement describes the Policies. 
I am familiar with and have provided actuarial advice concerning the preparation
of the Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement, including
exhibits.

In my professional opinion, the illustration of death benefits and cash values
included in Appendix C of the prospectus, based on the assumptions stated in the
illustrations, are consistent with the provisions of the Policy.  The rate
structure of the Policies has not been designed so as to make the relationship
between premiums and benefits, as shown in the illustrations, appear more
favorable to a prospective purchaser of a Policy for a person age 30 or a person
age 45 than to prospective purchasers of Policies for people at other ages or
underwriting classes.  I am also of the opinion that  the aggregate fees and
charges under the Policy are reasonable in relation to the services rendered,
the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the Company.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Post-Effective
Amendment to the  Registration Statement.

                                                 Sincerely,

                                                 /s/ William H. Mawdsley

                                                 William H. Mawdsley, FSA, MAAA
