ECONOMIC REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
AN INTERVIEW WITH EDWARD GUAY, CHIEF ECONOMIST, CIGNA CORPORATION
HOW DID THE U.S. ECONOMY AND OTHER NATIONAL ECONOMIES PERFORM IN 1996?
The U.S. economy performed well during 1996, as did several other national
economies. Economic activity in the U.S. continued a broadening recovery from
the slowdown of late 1994 and early 1995 which was engineered by the Federal
Reserve. This recovery was held back to some extent by the lingering weakness
among some of the major trading partners of the U.S. However, many of the
previous restraints on U.S. growth -- such as the real estate overbuilding
during the 1980s -- became less significant restraints as the markets absorbed
past excesses. The U.S. also benefited from a flood of liquidity as central
banks in many parts of the world aggressively eased interest rates to try to
restore growth.
Some other countries also recovered strongly last year. In some cases, such as
Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, and the Scandinavian countries, the recoveries
were rebounds from past crises. In other cases, the resumption of growth
reflected stronger and more sustainable growth of both output and final demand.
In the latter group were Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
There was some political background "noise" during the year in the U.S. and
elsewhere. But nowhere was it particularly disruptive of long-term economic
fundamentals. In all, 1996 was a vintage year for the U.S. and marked the
beginning of what should be several good years for the world economy.
WHAT KEY FACTORS ARE EXPECTED TO DRIVE WORLDWIDE GROWTH THIS YEAR?
The major engines of growth will include energy refining and development and
stronger demand for infrastructure products, such as power generation and
communications equipment.
DID INFLATION POSE A SERIOUS THREAT ON THE WORLD ECONOMIC SCENE IN 1996?
Although there were several inflation shocks last year, the massive liquidity
expansion did not cause inflation to rise. Excess capacity and labor in world
markets combined with technological change, continuing corporate restructuring,
and relatively free trade to help keep prices under control.
WHAT WERE THE MAJOR TRENDS IN THE U.S. BOND MARKET LAST YEAR?
When 1996 began, the U.S. bond market anticipated recession, but by late spring
the bond market was more fearful of resurging growth. Treasury bond yields rose
from 6% to more than 7% between the end of 1995 and the middle of 1996 because
of the shift in psychology and futures trading. But from August through
November, fears of growth eased and bond yields retraced more than half the
earlier rise. Although good economic news caused another setback in the bond
market in December, the bond market performed better than generally expected for
the year as a whole.
<PAGE>
WHAT ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE EQUITY MARKET?
The equity market performed extraordinarily well again in 1996, although it was
mainly the large capitalization domestic stocks that did well. Small
capitalization domestic stocks, many major international markets, most notably
the Japanese market, and some of the emerging markets, particularly in Asia,
underperformed. Profits were stronger than expected and balance sheets continued
to improve, primarily because of restructuring, share buybacks, and the
deepening and broadening impact of new technology. The financial improvement and
increased liquidity benefited both the stock market and the corporate bond
market.
IS THE U.S. EQUITY MARKET LIKELY TO SUSTAIN ITS STRONG GROWTH OF RECENT YEARS?
WHAT ABOUT FOREIGN MARKETS?
U.S. equity valuations may experience a correction because they are at the
highest levels in 30 years and there is less scope now for extraordinary profit
gains from either a reduced rate of inflation or restructuring. But in foreign
equity markets, the scope for restructuring and for unusual profits gains
remains large. A sustained bull market in international markets could run for
another two to four years.
WHAT IS THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
The new year should bring continued growth in the U.S. and somewhat more
favorable trends in the world economy. Several U.S. economic sectors are already
operating at or above potential and are not likely to contribute greatly to
growth during 1997. Among those are autos, housing, and some key components of
business investment spending. Other U.S. economic sectors and regions are still
operating well below their normal capabilities and offer the potential for
upside surprises during the year. U.S. growth will be spurred by commercial
construction and export industries.
After growing by more than 3.0% during 1996, the U.S. economy should be able to
grow by 2.75% to 3.0% during 1997, but with somewhat different composition.
Overall, our world view is still optimistic. The next year or two should be good
for business, and for diversified investors.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A. INVESTMENT VALUATION:--Investments held by the sub-accounts are valued

reflected as unrealized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations.
B. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:--Investment transactions are recorded on the
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and
losses on sales of investments are determined by the last-in, first-out cost

Life.

4. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
CG Life assumes the risk that policyholders may live longer than expected
and also assumes a mortality risk in connection with the death benefits of the
contract. CG Life also assumes a risk that its actual administrative expenses
may be higher than amounts deducted for such expenses. CG Life charges each
variable sub-account, for mortality and expense risks, a daily deduction,
equivalent to .80% per year during the first twelve policy years and .55% per
year thereafter. The mortality and expense risk charges, for each sub-account,
are reported on the Statements of Operations.
CG Life deducts a premium load of 5% of each premium payment to cover state
taxes and federal income tax liabilities.
CG Life charges a monthly administrative fee of $15 in the first policy year
and $5 in subsequent policy years. This charge is for items such as premium
billing and collection, policy value calculation, confirmations and periodic
reports.
CG Life charges a monthly deduction for the cost of insurance and any
charges for supplemental riders. The cost of insurance charge depends on the
attained age, risk classification, gender classification (in accordance with
state law) and the current net amount at risk. On a monthly basis, the
administrative fee and the cost of insurance charge are deducted proportionately
from the value of each variable sub-account and/or the fixed account funding
option. The fixed account is part of the general account of CG Life and is not
included in these financial statements.
Under certain circumstances, CG Life reserves the right to charge a transfer
fee of up to $25 for transfers between sub-accounts. For the periods ended
December 31, 1996, no transfer fees were deducted from the variable
sub-accounts.

</TABLE>
* Date deposits first received.
CG Life, upon full surrender of a policy, may charge a surrender charge.
This charge is in part a deferred sales charge and in part a recovery of certain
first year administrative costs. The amount of the surrender charge, if any,
will depend on the amount of the death benefit, the amount of premium payments
made during the first two policy years and the age of the policy. In no event
will the surrender charge exceed the maximum allowed by state or Federal law. No
surrender charge is imposed on a partial surrender, but an administrative fee of
$25 is imposed, allocated pro-rata among the variable sub-accounts (and, where
applicable, the fixed account) from which the partial surrender proceeds are
taken. No full surrender or partial surrender administrative charges were paid
to CG Life, attributable to the variable sub-accounts, for the periods ended
December 31, 1996.
5. DISTRIBUTION OF NET INCOME
The Account does not expect to declare dividends to participants from
accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is distributed to
participants as part of death benefits, surrenders, and transfers to other fixed
or variable sub-accounts.

6. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the Code), a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as life
insurance under Section 7702 of the Code for any period for which the
investments of the segregated asset account, on which the policy is based, are
not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified"
requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory
safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued
by the Secretary of Treasury. CG Life believes, based on assurances from the
mutual fund managers, that the mutual funds satisfy the requirements of the
regulations.

in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Account's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December
31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodians, provides a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
