                       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  ("AIC"),  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of The  Allstate
     Corporation  (the  "Corporation").  These  financial  statements  have been
     prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     The  financial  statements  and  notes  as of  June  30,  1999  and for the
     three month  and  six month  periods  ended  June  30,  1999  and  1998 are
     unaudited.  The 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 1998. The results of operations for
     the interim  periods  should not be considered  indicative of results to be
     expected for the full year.

     Effective  January 1, 1999,  the  Company  adopted  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 adoption of this  statement  had an  immaterial
     impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

     To conform with the 1999 presentation,  certain amounts in the prior years'
     financial statements and notes have been reclassified.

2.    Reinsurance

      The Company has reinsurance  agreements whereby substantially all contract
      charges, credited interest, policy benefits and certain expenses are ceded
      to  ALIC  and  reflected  net of such  reinsurance  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 under reinsurance agreements.  Reinsurance recoverable and the
      related  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.

                                   (Unaudited)


      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 under the terms of reinsurance agreements. The following
      amounts were ceded to ALIC under reinsurance agreements.

4.    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

      Regulation and Legal Proceedings
      The Company is subject to the effects of a changing  social,  economic and
      regulatory environment.  Public and regulatory initiatives have varied and
      have included employee benefit regulations, 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.

      Various  other legal and  regulatory  actions are  currently  pending that
      involve the Company and specific  aspects of its conduct of  business.  In
      the opinion of management,  the ultimate liability, if any, in one or more
      of these actions in excess of amounts  currently  reserved 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 related notes thereto found under items 7 and
      8 of Part II of the Glenbrook  Life and Annuity  Company  Annual Report on
      Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

      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  savings  products  and life  insurance  products  through  banks,
      broker-dealers  and direct  marketing.  Savings  products consist of fixed
      annuity products,  including indexed and market value adjusted  annuities,
      as well as variable annuities.  Life insurance includes universal life and
      variable life products.  The Company  re-domesticated  its operations from
      Illinois to Arizona in 1998. The Company has identified itself as a single
      segment entity.

      The assets and liabilities  related to flexible premium deferred  variable
      annuity  contracts and variable life policies are legally  segregated  and
      reflected as Separate  Account assets and  liabilities  and are carried at
      fair value in the statements of financial position.  Investment income and
      realized gains and losses of the Separate  Accounts accrue directly to the
      contractholders  (net of fees) and,  therefore,  are not  included  in the
      Company's statements of operations.

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


     Net income for the  three month  and six month  periods ended June 30, 1999
     increased $324 thousand and $288 thousand, respectively,  compared with the
     same periods in 1998. For both periods, in 1999, the increase was primarily
     due to capital gains realized on the sale of mortgage-backed securities.

     Pretax net  investment  income was $1.6  million for the second  quarter of
     1999, compared to $1.5 million for the same period last year. For the first
     half of 1999,  pretax net  investment  income was $3.2 million  versus $3.1
     million for the first half of 1998. For both periods, investment income was
     earned on higher investment balances,  partially offset by lower investment
     yields  and  increased  investment  expenses  for the  first  half of 1999.
     Investments at June 30, 1999,  excluding  Separate  Accounts and unrealized
     gains on fixed income securities, grew 7.8% from the same period last year.
     Lower  investment  yields are due, in part,  to the  investment of proceeds
     from calls and  maturities  and the  investment of positive cash flows from
     operations in securities  yielding less than the average portfolio rate. In
     relatively  low interest rate  environments,  funds from called or maturing
     investments  may be  reinvested  at  interest  rates lower than those which
     prevailed  when the funds  were  previously  invested,  resulting  in lower
     investment yields.

     (1)  Fixed income securities are carried at fair value.  Amortized cost for
          these securities was $93,774 and $87,415 at June 30, 1999 and December
          31, 1998, respectively.


     Total  investments  were $97.0  million at June 30, 1999  compared to $99.0
     million at December 31, 1998. Positive cash flows generated from operations
     were more than offset by a decrease  in  unrealized  net  capital  gains on
     fixed income  securities and sales of short-term  investments.  At June 30,
     1999,  unrealized  net capital gains on fixed income  securities  were $1.5
     million compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 1998.

     At June 30, 1999, all of the Company's fixed income securities portfolio is
     rated  investment  grade,  which is  defined  by the  Company as a security
     having a National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") rating of
     1 or 2, a Moody's  rating of Aaa,  Aa, A or Baa,  or a  comparable  Company
     internal rating.

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


     During  the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999,  contractholder  funds  and
     reinsurance   recoverable  from  ALIC  increased  by  $515.5  million.  The
     increases  resulted  primarily  from sales of the  Company's  fixed annuity
     contracts.  Reinsurance  recoverable  from ALIC relates to contract benefit
     obligations ceded to ALIC.

     Separate  Account assets and liabilities  increased $223.5 million to $1.22
     billion at June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily  attributable to sales
     of variable annuity contracts and favorable  investment  performance of the
     Separate Account investment portfolios.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Under the terms of reinsurance  agreements,  substantially all premiums and
     deposits, excluding those relating to Separate Accounts, are transferred to
     ALIC,  which  maintains the investment  portfolio  supporting the Company's
     products.  Substantially  all payments of  policyholder  claims,  benefits,
     contract  maturities,  contract  surrenders  and  withdrawals  and  certain
     operating  costs  are  also  reimbursed  by ALIC  under  the  terms  of the
     reinsurance agreements.  The Company continues to have primary liability as
     a direct  insurer  for  risks  reinsured.  The  Company's  ability  to meet
     liquidity  demands is  dependent on ALIC's  ability to meet those  demands.
     ALIC's  financial  strength  ability was rated Aa2,  AA+ and A+ by Moody's,
     Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best, respectively, at June 30, 1999.

     The  primary  source  for  the  remainder  of the  Company's  funds  is the
     collection  of principal and interest from the  investment  portfolio.  The
     Company may also receive capital  contributions from ALIC. The primary uses
     for the remainder of the Company's  funds are to purchase  investments  and
     pay costs  associated  with the  maintenance  of the  Company's  investment
     portfolio.

     Year 2000

     The Company is  dependent  upon  certain  services  provided  for it by the
     Corporation including  computer-related  systems, and systems and equipment
     not typically thought of as computer-related (referred to as "non-IT"). For
     this  reason,   the  Company  is  reliant  upon  the  Corporation  for  the
     establishment and maintenance of its computer-related systems and non-IT.

     The  Corporation  is heavily  dependent upon complex  computer  systems and
     equipment for all phases of its operations, including product distribution,
     customer  service,  insurance  processing,  underwriting,  loss  reserving,
     investments  and  other  enterprise  systems.  Since  many  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").
     Also,  many  systems and  equipment  that are not  typically  thought of as
     computer-related  (referred to as "non-IT")  contain  embedded  hardware or
     software that may have a Year 2000  sensitive  component.  The  Corporation
     believes that many of its  counterparties and suppliers also have Year 2000
     issues and non-IT issues which could affect the Corporation.

                       Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company
                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


      In 1995, the Corporation  commenced a plan consisting of four phases which
      are intended to mitigate  and/or  prevent the adverse  effects of the Year
      2000 issues on its systems and  equipment:  1) inventory and assessment of
      affected  systems and equipment,  2) remediation and compliance of systems
      and  equipment   through   strategies  that  include  the  replacement  or
      enhancement of existing  systems,  upgrades to operating  systems  already
      covered by maintenance agreements and modifications to existing systems to
      make them Year 2000  compliant,  3) testing of systems and equipment using
      clock-forward  testing  for both  current  and future  dates and for dates
      which trigger specific processing,  and 4) contingency planning to address
      possible  adverse  scenarios  and the  potential  financial  impact to the
      Corporation's results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

      The  Corporation  believes  that the  first  three  phases  of this  plan,
      assessment, remediation and testing, including clock-forward testing which
      was performed on the Corporation's  systems and equipment and non-IT,  are
      complete.  It is  expected  that the  implementation  and  rollout  of the
      remediated  personal  computer  environment  will continue into the fourth
      quarter of 1999.  In  addition,  some  systems  and  equipment  and non-IT
      related to discontinued  or non-critical  functions of the Corporation are
      planned to be abandoned by the end of 1999.

      The fourth  phase of this plan,  contingency  planning,  is  currently  in
      process.  Detailed  plans have been  created in the event that the systems
      and equipment or major  external  counterparties  and supplier  supporting
      critical  processes are not Year 2000 compliant in or after the year 1999.
      These plans,  created by each corporate  function and business unit of the
      Corporation, identify and document the risks associated with the Year 2000
      on their  business  processes.  Appropriate  plans have been  developed to
      mitigate  those  risks.  A  common  inclusion  in many of the  plans  is a
      description  of manual  processes and  personnel  needed in the event of a
      temporary   Year  2000   failure.   Contingency   plans   will  be  tested
      appropriately  by the  corporate  function  or  business  unit  for  their
      effective  operation and for achieving their desired results. In addition,
      during  the  third  quarter  of  1999,  the  Corporation's  management  is
      reviewing  all corporate  function and business  units' plans for accuracy
      and comprehensiveness.  Monitoring of these plans will continue throughout
      the end of 1999 and beyond, as needed.

      The  Corporation  has  considered   numerous  risk  scenarios  during  the
      contingency  planning phase.  Through this planning,  management  believes
      that  the  scenario  which  could  be  considered  the  worst  case,  is a
      widespread,  prolonged  failure of public utility  systems which would not
      only  cause   power   outages   for  the   Corporation,   but  also  cause
      telecommunications,  banking or external counterparty and supplier service
      outages.  While the  corporation  has assessed and will continue to assess
      data  on  the  utility,   telecommunication  and  banking  industries,  it
      acknowledges the possibility that a prolonged  widespread outage in any or
      all of these industries could lead to a worst case scenario.  However, the
      Corporation  does not consider  such  prolonged  widespread  outages to be
      reasonably  likely.  Therefore,  the  Corporation  has  focused  its  most
      reasonably  likely  worst case  scenario  contingency  planning on limited
      scale  outages in order to ensure the ability to deal with risks of likely
      scenarios.  Because the Corporation is prepared for outages on a localized
      basis as part of normal business operations, the Corporation considers the
      impacts of this most  reasonably  likely  scenario to be immaterial to the
      Corporation's results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

                       Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company
                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


      The  Company  markets  its  products  through  a variety  of  distribution
      channels,   including   banks,   brokers  and  direct   marketing.   These
      distribution channels are considered major external  counterparties of the
      Corporation.  The Corporation is actively  working with its major external
      counterparties  and  suppliers,  including  public utility  companies,  to
      assess their  compliance  efforts and the  Corporation's  exposure to both
      their Year 2000 issues and non-IT  issues.  This  assessment  has included
      soliciting  external  counterparties and suppliers,  evaluating  responses
      received and testing third party  interfaces and interactions to determine
      compliance.  Currently the  Corporation  has  solicited,  and has received
      responses from, the majority of its  counterparties  and suppliers.  These
      responses  generally  state  that  they  believe  they  will be Year  2000
      compliant  and that no  transactions  will be affected.  However,  certain
      vendors  are also in ongoing  assessment  and  testing  of their  products
      whereby they are currently  unable to identify all  potential  problems in
      certain  products  which  are  used by the  Corporation.  The  Corporation
      believes that these vendors will make no statements  regarding  their Year
      2000  readiness  other than to publish  declarations  addressing  specific
      compliance  issues  identified  with their  products.  The  Corporation is
      working with these key vendors and has  procedures  in place to stay aware
      of any compliance issues encountered by these vendors. The Corporation has
      also  decided  to  test  certain   interfaces  and  interactions  to  gain
      additional assurance on third party compliance. Currently, the Corporation
      does not have  sufficient  information  to  determine  whether  all of its
      external counterparties and suppliers will be Year 2000 compliant. If they
      are not Year 2000 compliant,  the Corporation is not able to determine the
      impact of any consequent losses on its results of operations, liquidity or
      financial position.

      The Corporation may be exposed to the risk that the issuers of investments
      in its  portfolio  will be  adversely  impacted by Year 2000  issues.  The
      Corporation  assesses  the  impact  which  Year  2000  issues  have on the
      Corporation's  investments  as  part of due  diligence  for  proposed  new
      investments and in its ongoing review of all current  portfolio  holdings.
      Any  recommended  actions  with  respect  to  individual  investments  are
      determined by taking into account the potential impact of Year 2000 on the
      issuer.  Based  on its  current  review,  the  Corporation  believes  that
      although Year 2000 issues may temporarily  affect the market or individual
      issuers,  the potential  impact of Year 2000 on its  investment  portfolio
      will not be material.

      The  Corporation  presently  believes  that it will  resolve the Year 2000
      issue in a timely  manner.  Year 2000 costs are expensed as incurred.  The
      majority of the expenses  related to this project have been incurred as of
      June 30, 1999. The Corporation  estimates that  approximately $125 million
      in costs  will be  incurred  between  the  years of 1995 and  2000.  These
      amounts include costs directly related to fixing Year 2000 issues, such as
      modifying  software and hiring Year 2000  solution  providers,  as well as
      costs incurred to replace  certain  non-compliant  systems which would not
      have been otherwise replaced. A portion of these costs will be incurred by
      the Company on a pro rata basis of usage of the  computer-related  systems
      and equipment and non-IT,  as compared to the usage of all entities  which
      share these services with the Corporation.  These amounts are not expected
      to be material to the results of operations of the Company.

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


      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. In order to comply with the terms of the safe
      harbor,  the Company notes several  important factors that could cause the
      Company's  actual results and experience  with respect to  forward-looking
      statements  to differ  materially  from the  anticipated  results or other
      expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements:

      1. The Corporation  presently  believes that it will resolve the Year 2000
         issues affecting its computer  operations in a timely manner,  and that
         the costs  incurred  between  the  years of 1995 and 2000 in  resolving
         those issues will be approximately $125 million. However, the extent to
         which  the   computer   operations   of  the   Corporation's   external
         counterparties  and suppliers are adversely  affected  could,  in turn,
         affect   the   Corporation's   ability   to   communicate   with   such
         counterparties and suppliers,  could increase the cost of resolving the
         Year 2000 issues, and could materially affect the Corporation's results
         of operations in any period or periods.

                      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

     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.
