                          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  accounting  principles  generally
     accepted in the United States of America.

          The financial  statements  and notes as of June 30, 2000,  and for the
     three  month and six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  2000 and  1999,  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. The 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 1999.  The  results of  operations  for the interim
     periods  should not be considered  indicative of results to be expected for
     the full year.

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.   Reinsurance  recoverable  and  the  related  reserve  for
     life-contingent  contract  benefits 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 and the reserve for life-contingent contract benefits is not included
     in the Company's financial statements as those assets are owned and managed
     under the terms of reinsurance  agreements.  The following table summarizes
     amounts which were ceded to ALIC under reinsurance agreements.

4.        REGULATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

               The  Company's  business  is subject to the effects of a changing
          social,  economic  and  regulatory  environment.   Recent  public  and
          regulatory  initiatives  have  varied  and  include  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,  and the tax  treatment of insurance
          products  and its  impact  on the  relative  desirability  of  various
          personal  investment  vehicles.  The  ultimate  changes  and  eventual
          effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

               In the normal course of its business,  the Company is involved in
          pending  or  threatened  litigation  and  regulatory  actions in which
          claims for monetary damages are asserted. At this time, based on their
          present  status,  it is the opinion of  management,  that 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.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
      FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND
                 SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999


     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 Part I. Item 1 contained herein
and with the  discussion,  analysis,  financial  statements and notes thereto in
Part I.  Item 1 and Part II.  Items 7 and 8 of the  Glenbrook  Life and  Annuity
Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     The Company,  a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance  Company
("ALIC"),  which is a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Allstate  Insurance  Company
("AIC"),   a  wholly  owned   subsidiary  of  The  Allstate   Corporation   (the
"Corporation"),  markets savings and life insurance  products  through banks and
securities  firms.  Savings products  include  deferred  annuities and immediate
annuities  without life  contingencies.  Deferred  annuities include fixed rate,
market value adjusted,  indexed and variable annuities.  Life insurance consists
of interest-sensitive life and variable life insurance.

       The Company has identified itself as a single segment entity.

     The assets and  liabilities  related to variable  annuity and variable life
contracts are legally segregated and reflected as Separate Accounts.  The assets
of  the  Separate  Accounts  are  carried  at  fair  value.   Separate  Accounts
liabilities  represent the contractholders'  claim to the related assets and are
carried at the fair value of the  assets.  In the event that the asset  value of
certain  contractholder  accounts are projected to be below the value guaranteed
by the  Company,  a  liability  is  established  through a charge  to  earnings.
Investment income and realized capital gains and losses of the Separate Accounts
accrue directly to the  contractholders  and therefore,  are not included in the
Company's statements of operations.

     The Company  has  reinsurance  agreements  under  which  substantially  all
contract and policy related  transactions are transferred to ALIC. The Company's
results of operations  include only net investment  income and realized  capital
gains and losses  earned on the assets of the Company  that are not  transferred
under the reinsurance agreements.

     Net income for the second  quarter  and first six months of 2000  increased
33.9% to $1.8  million and 48.0% to $3.5 million ,  respectively,  over the same
periods in 1999,  primarily due to increased net  investment  income during both
periods.  Net investment  income for the three month and six month periods ended
June  30,  2000  increased  68.3% to $2.7  million  and  65.2% to $5.3  million,
respectively,  primarily due to higher investment balances which resulted from a
capital  contribution from ALIC in the fourth quarter of 1999.  Realized capital
gains,  after tax, decreased during the second quarter to $16 thousand from $279
thousand in the second  quarter of 1999, and during the first six months of 2000
to $59 thousand from $279 thousand in the first six months of last year.  Period
to period  fluctuations  in  realized  capital  gains are  largely the result of
timing of sales decisions

     (1) Fixed income  securities are carried at fair value.  Amortized cost for
these  securities  was  $148,702  and $94,173 at June 30, 2000 and  December 31,
1999, respectively.
</FN>

     Total  investments  were $151.2 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $146.0
million at December  31,  1999.  The  increase  was due to  positive  cash flows
generated  from  operations  and lower  unrealized  net capital  losses on fixed
income  securities.  At June 30, 2000,  unrealized  net capital  losses on fixed
income  securities  were $580 thousand  compared to $1.2 million at December 31,
1999.  Investments at June 30, 2000,  excluding Separate Accounts and unrealized
gains and losses on fixed income securities, grew 3.1% from December 31, 1999.

     At June 30, 2000, 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.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2000,  contractholder  funds increased
by $320.2 million and amounts  recoverable from ALIC increased by $324.5 million
as compared to December 31, 1999 balances. The increases resulted from increased
sales of the Company's fixed rate annuity  contracts by banks,  partially offset
by surrenders  and  withdrawals  and transfers  from the fixed account  contract
option to variable  Separate Account funds. As the Company's  interest-sensitive
life policies and annuity contracts  in-force grow and age, the dollar amount of
surrenders and  withdrawals  will likely  increase.  While the overall amount of
surrenders  may increase in the future,  a significant  increase in the level of
surrenders relative to total contractholder account balances is not anticipated.
Reinsurance  recoverable from ALIC relates to contract benefit obligations ceded
to ALIC.

     Separate Account assets and liabilities increased 16.1% to $1.79 billion at
June 30, 2000 as compared to the December 31, 1999 balance.  The increases  were
primarily  attributable  to  increased  sales of variable  annuity  contracts by
securities  firms  and  transfers  from the  fixed  account  contract  option to
variable Separate Account funds, partially offset by surrenders and withdrawals.

      FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND
                 SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     Under the terms of  reinsurance  agreements,  substantially  all  deposits,
excluding those relating to Separate  Accounts,  are transferred to ALIC,  which
maintains  the  investment   portfolios   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  claims-paying  ability was rated
Aa2, AA+ and A+ by Moody's, Standard and Poor's and A.M. Best, respectively,  at
June 30, 2000.

     The  primary  sources  for the  remainder  of the  Company's  funds are the
collection of principal and interest from the  investment  portfolio and 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.

     At June 30,  2000,  the  Moody's  and  Standard  and Poor's  and A.M.  Best
claims-paying ratings for the Company were Aa2, AA+, and A+ respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

     This document contains "forward-looking statements" that anticipate results
based on management's  plans that are subject to uncertainty.  These  statements
are  made  subject  to the  safe-harbor  provisions  of the  Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

     Forward-looking  statements do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts and may be  identified  by their  use of words  like  "plans,"  "expects,"
"will,"  "anticipates,"  "estimates,"  "intends," "believes," "likely" and other
words with similar meanings.  These statements may address,  among other things,
our strategy  for growth,  product  development,  regulatory  approvals,  market
position, expenses,  financial results and reserves.  Forward-looking statements
are based on  management's  current  expectations  of future  events.  We cannot
guarantee  that any  forward-looking  statement  will be accurate.  However,  we
believe that our  forward-looking  statements are based on  reasonable,  current
expectations   and   assumptions.   We  assume  no   obligation  to  update  any
forward-looking  statements as a result of new  information  or future events or
developments.

     If  the   expectations  or  assumptions   underlying  our   forward-looking
statements prove inaccurate or if risks or uncertainties  arise,  actual results
could  differ  materially  from  those   communicated  in  our   forward-looking
statements.  In addition to the normal risks of business, the Company is subject
to significant  risk factors,  including those listed below which apply to it as
an insurance business.

     o    Changes  in market  interest  rates can have  adverse  effects  on the
          Company's investment  portfolio,  investment income and product sales.
          Increases in market interest rates have an adverse impact on the value
          of the investment portfolio by decreasing  unrealized capital gains on
          fixed income  securities.  In addition,  increases in market  interest
          rates as compared to rates offered on some of the  Company's  products
          could make those products less attractive and therefore decrease sales
          or  increase  the level of  surrenders  on these  products.  Declining
          market  interest  rates could have an adverse  impact on the Company's
          investment income as the Company reinvests proceeds from positive cash
          flows from  operations  and  maturing  and called  investments  in new
          investments  that could be yielding less than the portfolio's  average
          rate. Additionally, the impact of decreasing Separate Account balances
          resulting  from  fluctuating  market  conditions  could cause contract
          charges realized by the Company to decrease.

     o    In  order  to meet  the  anticipated  cash  flow  requirements  of the
          obligations to policyholders, from time to time the effective duration
          of the assets and liabilities of the investment portfolio is adjusted.
          Those  adjustments  may have an impact on the value of the  investment
          portfolio and on investment income.

                                       11

     o    State insurance regulatory  authorities require insurance companies to
          maintain  specified  levels  of  statutory  capital  and  surplus.  In
          addition,  competitive  pressures  require  the  Company  to  maintain
          financial   strength   or   claims-paying   ability   ratings.   These
          restrictions affect the Company's ability to use its capital.

     o    The Company  distributes  some of its products under  agreements  with
          other financial services entities.  Termination of such agreements due
          to changes in control of these  non-affiliated  entities  could have a
          detrimental  effect on the Company's sales. This risk may be increased
          due to the recent  enactment  of the  Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act of 1999,
          which  eliminates  many federal and state law barriers to affiliations
          among banks,  securities  firms,  insurers and other financial service
          providers.


     o    A number of  enacted  and  pending  legislative  measures  may lead to
          increased  consolidation  and increased  competition  in the financial
          services  industry.  At the federal level,  these measures include the
          recently enacted Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which eliminates many
          federal and state law barriers to affiliations among banks, securities
          firms,  insurers and other financial service  providers.  At the state
          level,  these measures include  legislation to permit mutual insurance
          companies to convert to a hybrid  structure  known as a mutual holding
          company,   thereby  allowing   insurance   companies  owned  by  their
          policyholders  to become stock insurance  companies owned (through one
          or  more  intermediate  holding  companies)  at  least  51%  by  their
          policyholders and potentially up to 49% by stockholders.  Also several
          large mutual life  insurers  have used or are expected to use existing
          state  laws  and  regulations   governing  the  conversion  of  mutual
          insurance companies into stock insurance companies  (demutualization).
          These  measures  may  also  increase  competition  for  capital  among
          financial service providers.

     o    Deferred  annuities and  interest-sensitive  life  insurance  products
          receive  favorable  policyholder  taxation  under current tax laws and
          regulations.  Any  legislative  or regulatory  changes that  adversely
          alter this  treatment are likely to  negatively  affect the demand for
          these products.

     o    Financial  strength  ratings  have  become an  increasingly  important
          factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies
          and may  generally  be  expected  to have an  effect  on an  insurance
          company's business.  On an ongoing basis, rating  organizations review
          the financial performance and condition of insurers. Downgrades in one
          or more of the  ratings of the Company  could have a material  adverse
          effect on the Company's  business,  financial condition and results of
          operations.

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.
