                       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").

          The financial  statements  and notes as of September 30, 2000, and for
     the three month and nine month periods  ended  September 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.  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 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
     by ALIC 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'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE
                 MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 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'  claims 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 third  quarter and first nine  months of 2000  increased
69.8% to $1.8  million and 54.8% to $5.3  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 nine month periods ended
September  30, 2000  increased  64.2% to $2.8 million and 64.8% to $8.0 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,  increased  to $1 thousand  during the third  quarter  versus
realized  capital  losses,  after tax, of $45  thousand in the third  quarter of
1999,  and  decreased  during the first nine months of 2000 to $59 thousand from

$234 thousand in the first nine months of 1999. Period to period fluctuations in
realized  capital  gains are largely  the result of timing of sales,  reflecting
management's  decision on positioning  the portfolio,  as well as assessments of
individual securities and overall market conditions.

(1) Fixed income securities are carried at fair value.  Amortized cost for these
securities was $149,930 and $94,173 at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively.

     Total  investments  were $156.0  million at September  30, 2000 compared to
$146.0 million at December 31, 1999. The increase was due to positive cash flows
generated  from  operations  and higher  unrealized  net capital  gains on fixed
income securities.  At September 30, 2000, unrealized net capital gains on fixed
income securities were $1.6 million compared to unrealized net capital losses of
$1.2 million at December 31, 1999.  Investments at September 30, 2000, excluding
Separate  Accounts and unrealized  gains and losses on fixed income  securities,
grew 4.9% from December 31, 1999.

     At  September  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 nine months ended September 30, 2000,  amounts  recoverable from
ALIC increased by $491.0 million and  contractholder  funds  increased by $485.8
million as compared to December 31, 1999 balances.  The increases  resulted from
sales of the Company's fixed rate annuity contracts by banks,  interest credited
to contractholder funds,  partially offset by surrenders and withdrawals,  death
benefits  and  transfers  from the fixed  account  contract  option to  variable
Separate Accounts 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  Accounts assets and liabilities  increased 22.5% to $1.89 billion
at  September  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  Accounts funds,  partially offset by surrenders and
withdrawals.

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
September 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 September  30,  2000,  the  Moody's,  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,  product  sales and  results of
     operations,  generally.  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 lead to lower sales
     and/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 from maturing and called  investments  into 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.

                 MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

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.

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 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  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.
