Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1.  Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO") is incorporated under
    the insurance laws of the State of Illinois.  KILICO is licensed in the
    District of Columbia and all states, except New York.  KILICO is a wholly-
    owned subsidiary of Kemper Corporation ("Kemper"), a nonoperating holding
    company.

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

2.  In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments consisting of
    normal recurring accruals have been made for a fair statement of the
    results of KILICO for the periods included in these financial statements.
    These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and related notes in the 1999 Annual Report on Form
    10-K.

3.  KILICO, along with its affiliates Federal Kemper Life Assurance Company,
    Zurich Life Insurance Company of America, Fidelity Life Association (A
    Mutual Legal Reserve Company)("FLA") and Zurich Direct, Inc. operate under
    the trade name Zurich Kemper Life ("ZKL").  ZKL is segregated by Strategic
    Business Unit ("SBU").  The SBU concept has each SBU concentrate on a
    specific customer market.  The SBU is the focal point of ZKL because it is
    at the SBU level that ZKL can clearly identify customer segments and then
    work to understand and satisfy the needs of each customer.  The
    contributions of ZKL's SBUs to consolidated revenues, operating results
    and certain balance sheet data pertaining thereto, are shown in the
    following tables on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles.
    For purposes of this disclosure, ZKL excludes FLA, as it is owned by its
    policyholders.

    ZKL is segregated into the Life Brokerage, Financial, Retirement Solutions
    Group ("RSG") and Direct SBUs.  The SBUs are not managed at the legal
    entity level, but rather at the ZKL level.  ZKL's SBUs cross legal entity
    lines, as certain similar products are sold by more than one legal entity.


                                   7



Summarized financial information for ZKL's SBUs are as follows:

   Operating earnings before amortization of goodwill increased to $15.3
   million in the first quarter of 2000, compared with $14.4 million in the
   first quarter of 1999. This increase was primarily due to:

   -  an increase in spread revenue (net investment income less interest
      credited to policyholders)
   -  an increase in non-BOLI separate account fees, offset by
   -  an increase in commissions and operating expenses, net of the deferral
      of insurance acquisition costs
   -  an increase in claims incurred and other policyholder benefits

 Sales of annuity products consist of total deposits received, which are not
 recorded as revenue within the consolidated statements of operations.
 General account fixed annuity sales increased $60.8 million in the first
 quarter of 2000, compared with the first quarter of 1999.  Separate account
 variable annuity sales increased $83.6 million in the first quarter of 2000,
 compared with the first quarter of 1999.  The increase in general account
 and separate account sales was primarily due to continued strong sales of
 KILICO's latest variable annuity product that offers both a variable option
 and a fixed option, including dollar cost averaging.

 Sales of variable annuities increase administrative fees earned, and they
 pose minimal investment risk for KILICO, as policyholders allocate net
 premium to one or more of several underlying investment funds which invest
 in stocks and bonds.

 The decrease in BOLI sales in 2000 was primarily due to the nature of the
 BOLI product - high dollar volume per sale, low frequency of sales.

 Spread revenue increased in the first three months of 2000, compared with
 the same period in 1999, due to a decrease in interest credited to
 policyholders and a modest increase in investment income.  The increase in
 investment income is primarily due to the reinvestment of 1999 and 2000
 sales proceeds, maturities and prepayments at higher yields due to funds
 being directed to higher yielding securities, and the overall increasing
 interest rate environment.  This increase is offset by a decrease in cash
 and invested assets from the 1999 levels, reflecting the surrender and
 withdrawal activity of 1999 and the dividends paid to Kemper Corporation in
 1999.  Also contributing to this decrease in cash and invested assets is the
 ongoing exchanges from the fixed to the variable option of in-force annuity
 policies, primarily reflecting the dollar cost averaging option discussed
 above. The decrease in interest credited was primarily due to a decrease in
 policyholder liabilities due to surrender and withdrawal activity in 1999
 and a decrease in crediting rates in 2000 and 1999.

 Separate account fees on non-BOLI variable life and annuities increased
 during the first quarter of 2000, compared with 1999, primarily due to new
 sales during 1999 and 2000.

 BOLI cost of insurance charges and fees decreased $2.7 million in the first
 quarter of 2000, compared with 1999, primarily reflecting a decrease in the
 net cost of insurance charges on the mortality-rated BOLI contracts.

 BOLI premium tax expense loads decreased in 2000, compared with 1999, due to
 the decrease in BOLI sales in 2000.

Reflecting the current interest rate environment and other competitive market
factors, KILICO adjusts its crediting rates on interest-sensitive products
over time in order to manage spread revenue and policyholder surrender and
withdrawal activity.  KILICO can also improve spread revenue over time by
increasing investment income.

General account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits increased $21.6
million in the first quarter of 2000, compared with the first quarter of 1999,
reflecting an increase in claims as well as an increase in overall surrenders
and withdrawals.

Separate account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits decreased $10.1
million in the first quarter of 2000, compared with the first quarter of 1999.
Contributing to this decrease is a partial withdrawal on a BOLI contract in
the first quarter of 1999 of $27.8 million.

Claims and other policyholder benefits increased $1.8 million in the first
quarter of 2000, compared with 1999, primarily due to increased death benefits
in excess of account values on universal life products.

Taxes, licenses and fees decreased during the first quarter of 2000, compared
with 1999, primarily reflecting premium taxes on BOLI. KILICO received a
corresponding expense load related to these premium taxes in separate account
fees and other charges during the first quarter of 1999 and 2000.  Excluding
the taxes due on BOLI, taxes, licenses and fees amounted to $1.0 million for
the first quarter of 2000, compared with $1.3 million for the same period in
1999.

Commissions expense and the deferral of insurance acquisition costs increased
in the first quarter of 2000, compared with the first quarter of 1999, due to
the higher level of sales, excluding BOLI.

Operating expenses increased $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2000,
compared with the same period in 1999. The primary reason for this increase
was an increase in salaries and related benefits due to continued staffing
needs for various new business initiatives.

INVESTMENTS

KILICO's principal investment strategy is to maintain a balanced, well-
diversified portfolio supporting the insurance contracts written. KILICO makes
shifts in its investment portfolio depending on, among other factors, its
evaluation of risk and return in various markets, consistency with KILICO's
business strategy and investment guidelines approved by the board of directors,
the interest rate environment, liability durations and changes in market
and business conditions.

Fixed maturities

KILICO is carrying its fixed maturity investment portfolio, which it considers
available for sale, at estimated fair value, with the aggregate unrealized
appreciation or depreciation being recorded as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss), net of any applicable income taxes.  The
aggregate unrealized depreciation on fixed maturities at March 31, 2000 was
$128.6 million, compared with $121.2 million at December 31, 1999.  Fair
values are sensitive to movements in interest rates and other economic
developments and can be expected to fluctuate, at times significantly, from
period to period.

At both March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, investment-grade fixed
maturities and cash and short-term investments accounted for 83.8 percent of
KILICO's invested assets and cash.

Approximately 18.4 percent of KILICO's investment-grade fixed maturities at
March 31, 2000 were mortgage-backed securities, down from 20.0 percent at
December 31, 1999, due to sales and paydowns during 2000.  KILICO plans to
continue to reduce its holding of such investments over time.

Approximately 16.0 percent of KILICO's investment-grade fixed maturities at
March 31, 2000 consisted of corporate asset-backed securities, compared with
16.8 percent at December 31, 1999.  The majority of KILICO's investments in
asset-backed securities were backed by home equity loans, commercial mortgage-
backed securities and manufactured housing loans.

                                   13



Real estate-related investments

The $150.6 million real estate portfolio held by KILICO, consisting of joint
venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real estate-related
investments, constituted 4.0 percent of cash and invested assets at March 31,
2000, compared with $151.6 million, or 4.0 percent, at December 31, 1999.


Real estate outlook

KILICO's loans to a master limited partnership (the "MLP") between
subsidiaries of Kemper and subsidiaries of Lumbermens, amounted to $55.5
million (net of reserves) at March 31, 2000. The MLP's underlying investment
primarily consists of a water development project located in California's
Sacramento River Valley. This project is currently in the final stages of a
permit process with various Federal and California State agencies that will
impact the long-term economic viability of the project.  Loans to the MLP were
placed on non-accrual status effective January 1, 1999 to ensure that book
value of the MLP did not increase over net realizable value.

KILICO's only troubled real estate-related investments were loans on
nonaccrual status, before reserves and writedowns, totaling $97.4 million and
$98.3 million at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. KILICO
does not accrue interest on real estate-related investments when it judges
that the likelihood of interest collection is doubtful.  Loans on nonaccrual
status after reserves and write-downs amounted to $75.4 million and $76.3
million at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.


Net investment income

KILICO's pre-tax net investment income totaled $66.3 million in the first
quarter of 2000, compared with $65.7 million in the first quarter of 1999.
Included in pre-tax net investment income is KILICO's share of operating
gains and losses from equity investments in real estate consisting of other
income less depreciation, interest and other expenses.  Such operating results
exclude interest expense on loans by KILICO which are on nonaccrual status.


KILICO's total foregone investment income before tax, on both non-performing
fixed maturity investments and nonaccrual real estate-related investments was
as follows:

                                                         ====      ====


Foregone investment income from the nonaccrual of real estate related
investments is net of KILICO's share of interest expense on these loans
excluded from KILICO's share of joint venture operating results.  Any
increase in non-performing securities, and either worsening or stagnating
real estate conditions, would increase the expected adverse effect on
KILICO's future investment income and realized investment results.

                                   14



Interest rates

Interest rates rose in the first quarter of 2000, continuing the trend from
1999.  Rising interest rates contributed to an increase in unrealized fixed
maturity investment losses.  Interest rate fluctuations can cause significant
fluctuations in both future investment income and future realized and
unrealized investment gains and losses.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

KILICO carefully monitors cash and short-term investments to maintain
adequate balances for timely payment of policyholder benefits, expenses,
taxes and policyholder's account balances.

In addition, regulatory authorities establish minimum liquidity and capital
standards. The major ongoing sources of KILICO's liquidity are deposits for
fixed annuities, investment income, premium income, separate account fees,
other operating revenue and cash provided from maturing or sold investments.
