                       GLENBROOK LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



1.   Basis of Presentation

          The  accompanying   financial   statements  include  the  accounts  of
     Glenbrook  Life  and  Annuity   Company  (the  "Company")  a  wholly  owned
     subsidiary of Allstate Life  Insurance  Company  ("ALIC"),  which is wholly
     owned by Allstate  Insurance  Company,  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of The
     Allstate Corporation (the "Corporation").

          The  financial  statements  and notes as of June 30,  1998 and for the
     three-month  and  six-month  periods  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997 are
     unaudited.   The  interim  financial  statements  reflect  all  adjustments
     (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
     management,  necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position,
     results  of  operations  and cash  flows  for the  interim  periods.  These
     financial  statements  and  notes  should be read in  conjunction  with the
     financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Glenbrook Life and
     Annuity  Company  Annual  Report  on Form  10-K for 1997.  The  results  of
     operations  for the interim  period should not be considered  indicative of
     results to be expected for the full year.

          Effective  January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting   Standards   No.   130,   "Reporting   Comprehensive   Income."
     Comprehensive  income is a measurement of certain changes in  shareholder's
     equity that result from  transactions  and other economic events other than
     transactions with shareholders.  For the Company,  these consist of changes
     in unrealized gains and losses of the investment portfolio.  These amounts,
     presented as other comprehensive income, net of related taxes, are added to
     net income which results in comprehensive  income. The required disclosures
     are presented in Note 3.

          In March 1998, the  Accounting  Standards  Executive  Committee of the
     American  Institute of Certified  Public  Accountants  issued  Statement of
     Position  ("SOP")  98-1,  "Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software
     Developed  or Obtained  for  Internal  Use." The SOP  provides  guidance on
     accounting  for the costs of computer  software  developed  or obtained for
     internal use. Specifically,  certain external,  payroll and payroll related
     costs should be capitalized  during the application  development stage of a
     software  development  project and depreciated over the computer software's
     useful life. The Company has adopted the SOP effective January 1, 1998.


2.   Reinsurance

          The Company and ALIC entered into a  reinsurance  agreement  effective
     June 5, 1992. All business issued subsequent to that date is ceded to ALIC.
     Life  insurance  in  force  prior to that  date is ceded to  non-affiliated
     reinsurers.  Contract  charges,  credited  interest,  policy  benefits  and
     certain  expenses are ceded to ALIC and  reflected  net of such cessions in
     the statements of operations. The amounts shown in the Company's statements
     of operations  relate to the investment of those assets of the Company that
     are not  transferred to ALIC under the reinsurance  agreement.  Reinsurance
     recoverable  and  contractholder  funds  are  reported  separately  in  the
     statements  of financial  position.  The Company  continues to have primary
     liability as the direct insurer for risks reinsured.

          Investment  income earned on the assets which  support  contractholder
     funds is not included in the Company's financial statements as those assets
     are owned and  managed by ALIC under the terms of  reinsurance  agreements.
     The following amounts were ceded to ALIC under the reinsurance agreements.

4.   Regulation and Legal Proceedings

     The  Company's  business  is subject to the  effects of a changing  social,
economic and  regulatory  environment.  Public and regulatory  initiatives  have
varied and have  included  employee  benefit  regulation,  removal  of  barriers
preventing banks from engaging in the securities and insurance business, tax law
changes  affecting  the taxation of insurance  companies,  the tax  treatment of
insurance  products  and its  impact on the  relative  desirability  of  various
personal investment  vehicles,  and proposed  legislation to prohibit the use of
gender in determining  insurance  rates and benefits.  The ultimate  changes and
eventual effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

     From  time to time the  Company  is  involved  in  pending  and  threatened
litigation  in the normal  course of its  business in which  claims for monetary
damages are asserted. In the opinion of management,  the ultimate liability,  if
any, arising from such pending or threatened  litigation is not expected to have
a material effect on the results of operations,  liquidity or financial position
of the Company.

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                       


     The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing results
of operations  and changes in financial  position of Glenbrook  Life and Annuity
Company (the  "Company").  It should be read in  conjunction  with the financial
statements and notes thereto found under Part I. Item 1 contained herein and the
financial  statements  and notes  thereto  found under Part II. Item 8, with the
discussion  and analysis  found under Part II. Item 7 of the Glenbrook  Life and
Annuity Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1997.

     The Company,  a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance  Company
("ALIC"),  which is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Company ("AIC"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (the  "Corporation"),  markets life
insurance and annuity products through banks and broker-dealers.

     The Company issues flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts and
variable  life  policies,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of which  are  legally
segregated and reflected as Separate  Account assets and  liabilities.  Separate
Account  assets and  liabilities  are carried at fair value in the statements of
financial position.  Certain of the Separate Account investment  portfolios were
initially funded with a $10.0 million seed money  contribution  from the Company
in 1995. During 1997, the Company liquidated its funding in the Separate Account
investment  portfolios.  Investment  income and realized gains and losses of the
Separate  Accounts,  other  than the  portion  which  related  to the  Company's
participation,  accrue  directly  to the  contractholders  (net  of  fees)  and,
therefore, are not included in the Company's statements of operations.

     The Company and ALIC entered into a reinsurance agreement effective June 5,
1992.  All  business  issued  subsequent  to that  date is ceded  to ALIC.  Life
insurance in force prior to that date is ceded to non-affiliated reinsurers. The
Company's  results of  operations  include only  investment  income and realized
capital  gains and  losses  earned on the  assets  of the  Company  that are not
transferred to ALIC under the reinsurance agreement.

     Net income for the  three-month  and six-month  periods ended June 30, 1998
decreased $604 thousand and $349 thousand, respectively,  compared with the same
periods in 1997.  Increased  investment income was more than offset by decreased
realized  capital  gains in both  periods.  Realized  capital gains in 1997 were
associated  primarily with the withdrawal of the Company's seed money investment
in Separate Account portfolios.

     Pretax  net  investment  income  increased  19.3% and  23.4% in the  second
quarter and the first six months of 1998, respectively, from the comparable 1997
periods.  Additional  investment income was earned on higher investment balances
arising from positive cash flows from operating activities.

(1) Fixed income securities are carried at fair value.  Amortized cost for these
securities  was  $87,553 and $81,369 at June 30,  1998 and  December  31,  1997,
respectively.


     The Company's fixed income securities portfolio consists of mortgage-backed
securities,   publicly  traded  corporate  bonds,  U.S.   government  bonds  and
tax-exempt  municipal  bonds.  The  Company  generally  holds its  fixed  income
securities  for the long term,  but has  classified  all of these  securities as
available for sale to allow maximum flexibility in portfolio management.

     Total  investments  increased to $94.1  million at June 30, 1998 from $90.5
million at December 31, 1997.  The increase in  investments  is primarily due to
amounts  invested from  positive cash flows  generated  from  operations  and an
increase  in  unrealized  net  capital  gains  on the  fixed  income  securities
portfolio.  At June 30,  1998,  unrealized  net  capital  gains on fixed  income
securities were $5.5 million compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 1997.

     At June 30, 1998, all of the Company's fixed income securities portfolio is
rated investment grade, with a National  Association of Insurance  Commissioners
rating of 1 or 2 or a  Moody's  rating of Aaa,  Aa, A, or Baa,  or a  comparable
Company internal rating.

     The  Company's  short-term  investment  portfolio was $1.1 million and $4.2
million at June 30,  1998 and  December  31,  1997,  respectively.  The  Company
invests  available  cash  balances  primarily in taxable  short-term  securities
having a final maturity date or redemption date of one year or less.

     During 1998,  contractholder  funds and amounts recoverable from ALIC under
the reinsurance  agreement  increased by $205.2 million.  The increases resulted
from sales of the Company's single and flexible  premium deferred  annuities and
interest   credited  to   contractholders,   partially   offset  by  surrenders,
withdrawals  and benefits  paid.  Reinsurance  recoverable  from ALIC relates to
contract benefit obligations ceded to ALIC.

     Separate  Account  assets and  liabilities  increased by $229.2  million as
compared with December 31, 1997. The increases were  primarily  attributable  to
sales of flexible premium deferred  variable annuity contracts and the favorable
investment performance of the Separate Account investment portfolios,  partially
offset by variable annuity surrenders and withdrawals.

                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Under the terms of  reinsurance  agreements,  premiums  and deposits on
universal  life  policies and annuity  contracts,  excluding  those  relating to
Separate  Accounts,  are  transferred  to ALIC,  which  maintains the investment
portfolios  supporting  the Company's  products.  The Company  continues to have
primary liability as a direct insurer for risks reinsured.

Year 2000


     The Company is heavily  dependent  upon  complex  computer  systems for all
phases of its operations,  including  customer service,  and policy and contract
administration.  Since many of the Company's  older computer  software  programs
recognize  only the last two digits of the year in any date,  some  software may
fail to operate  properly  in or after the year  1999,  if the  software  is not
reprogrammed,  remediated or replaced ("Year 2000 Issue").  The Company believes
that many of its  counterparties  and suppliers also have Year 2000 Issues which
could affect the Company.  In 1995,  AIC  commenced a plan  intended to mitigate
and/or prevent the adverse effects of Year 2000 Issues. These strategies include
normal  development  and  enhancement of new and existing  systems,  upgrades to
operating systems already covered by maintenance agreements and modifications to
existing  systems to make them Year 2000  compliant.  The plan also includes the
Company actively working with its major external counterparties and suppliers to
assess their compliance  efforts and the Company's exposure to them. The Company
presently  believes that it will resolve the Year 2000 Issue in a timely manner,
and the financial  impact will not materially  affect its results of operations,
liquidity  or  financial  position.  The  Company  is working  closely  with its
business  partners,  counterparties  and  suppliers  in an  effort  to bring all
communications, facilities, software and systems into Year 2000 compliance. Year
2000 costs are expensed as incurred.

Pending Accounting Standards

     In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related  Information." SFAS No. 131 redefines how segments are
determined  and  requires  additional  segment  disclosures  for both annual and
quarterly  reporting.  Under this Statement,  segments are determined  using the
"management approach" for financial statement reporting. The management approach
is  based  on the way an  enterprise  makes  operating  decisions  and  assesses
performance  of  its  businesses.   The  Company  is  currently   reviewing  the
requirements  of the Statement and has not  determined the impact on its current
reporting. The requirements of this Statement will be adopted effective December
31, 1998.

     In December  1997,  the  Accounting  Standards  Executive  Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of
Position  ("SOP")  97-3,  "Accounting  by Insurance  and Other  Enterprises  for
Insurance-Related  Assessments."  The SOP provides  guidance  concerning when to
recognize  a  liability  for   insurance-related   assessments   and  how  those
liabilities  should be  measured.  Specifically,  insurance-related  assessments
should be recognized as liabilities when all of the following criteria have been
met: 1) an assessment has been imposed or it is probable that an assessment will
be imposed,  2) the event obligating an entity to pay an assessment has occurred
and  3)  the  amount  of  the  assessment  can  be  reasonably  estimated.   The
requirements  of this  Statement  are expected to be adopted in 1999 and are not
expected to have a material  impact on the results of operations,  cash flows or
financial position of the Company.


Forward-Looking Statements

     The statements contained in this Management's  Discussion and Analysis that
are not historical information are forward-looking  statements that are based on
management's  estimates,  assumptions and  projections.  The Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor under The Securities Act of
1933 and The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for forward-looking statements.

                      PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The  Company  and  its  Board  of  Directors  know  of  no  material  legal
     proceedings  pending  to  which  the  Company  is a party  or  which  would
     materially  affect the  Company.  The  Company is  involved  in pending and
     threatened  litigation in the normal course of its business in which claims
     for monetary  damages are asserted.  Management,  after  consultation  with
     legal counsel, does not anticipate the ultimate liability arising from such
     pending or threatened litigation to have a material effect on the financial
     condition of the Company.
