Contract holders of Annuity Investors Variable Account A

We have audited the accompanying  statement of assets and liabilities of Annuity

of December 31, 1999, and the related statement of operations and changes in net
assets for the periods  indicated  therein.  These financial  statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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, 1999, by
correspondence  with  the  custodian.  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  aspects,  the  financial  position  of  each  of  the  respective
sub-accounts  constituting the Annuity Investors  Variable Account A at December
31, 1999,  and the results of their  operations  and changes in their net assets
for  each of the  periods  indicated  therein,  in  conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation

     The preparation of financial  statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the united states requires management to
     make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount reported in the
     financial statements and  accompanying  notes.  Changes in circumstances
     could cause actual results to differ  materially  from those estimates.

     Investments

     Investments are valued using the net asset value of the respective
     portfolios at the end of each  business day of the New York Stock Exchange,
     with the exception of business holidays. Investment transactions are
     accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is
     executed). The cost of investments sold is determined on a first-in, first
     out basis. The Account does not hold any investments which are restricted
     as to resale.  Net  investment income (loss), net realized gain (loss) and
     unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments are allocated to the
     contracts on each valuation date based on each contrac's pro rata share of
     the assets of the Account as of the beginning of the valuation date.

     Federal Income Taxes

     No provision for federal  income taxes has been made in the accompanying
     financial statements because the operations of the Account are included in
     the total operations of the Company, which is treated as a life insurance
     company for federal income tax purposes under Subchapter L of the Internal
     Revenue Code.  Net  investment  income (loss) and realized  gains (losses)
     will be retained in the  Account and will not be taxable until received by
     the contract owner or beneficiary in the form of annuity payments or other
     distributions.

    Net Assets Attributeable to Variable Annuity Contract Holders

     The variable annuity contract reserves are comprised of net contract
     purchase payments less redemptions and benefits.  These reserves are
     adjusted daily for the net investment income (loss), net realized gain
     (loss) and  unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

(4)  DEDUCTIONS AND EXPENSES

     Although periodic annuitization payments to contract owners vary according
     to the investment performance of the sub-accounts, such payments are not
     affected by mortality or expense experience because the Company assumes
     the mortality risk and expense risk under the contracts.

     The  mortality risk assumed by the Company results from the life annuity
     payment ption in the  contracts,  in which  the  Company  agrees  to make
     annuity payments regardless of how long a particular annuitant or the other
     payee lives. The annuity payments are determined in accordance with annuity
     purchase rate provisions established at the time the contracts are issued.
     Based on the actuarial determination of expected mortality, the Company is
     required to fund any  deficiency in the annuity payment reserves from its
     general account assets.

     The expense risk assumed by the Company is the risk that the deductions for
     sales and administrative expenses may prove insufficient to cover the
     actual sales and administrative expenses. Under the Basic Contract,  the
     Company deducts a fee from the Account each day for assuming the mortality
     and expense risks. This fee is equal on an annual basis to 1.25% of the
     daily value of the total investments of the Account. These fees aggregated
     $1,398,650 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     In connection with certain  contracts in which the Company incurs reduced
     sales and  servicing  expenses,  such as  contracts  offered to active
     employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, the
     Company may offer an Enhanced Contract. Under the Enhanced Contract, the
     Company deducts a fee from the Account each day for assuming the mortality
     and expense risks.  This fee is equal on an annual basis to 0.95% of the
     daily value of the total investments of the Account. These fees aggregated
     $91,633 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     Pursuant to an administrative agreement between AAG  and the  Company,  AAG
     subsidiaries provide sales and administrative services to the Company and
     the Account. The Company may deduct a percentage of purchase payments
     surrendered to cover sales  expenses.  The  percentage decreases to 0% from
     a maximum of 7.0% based upon the number of years the purchase payment has
     been held.

     In addition, the Company may deduct units from  ontracts annually and upon
     full surrender to cover a  administrative fee of $25  These xpenses totaled
     $112,132 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

(5)  OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     AAG Securities, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, is the principal
     underwriter and performs all variable annuity sales functions on behalf of
     the Company.
