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, Zurich Direct, Incorporated, and
    Fidelity Life Association, a Mutual Legal Reserve Company under common
    management ("FLA") operates 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 Institutions
    ("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 decreased to $28.5
   million in the first six months of 2000, compared with $32.0 million in the
   first six months of 1999.  This decrease was primarily due to:

   *  an increase in commissions and operating expenses, net of the deferral
      of insurance acquisition costs
   *  an increase in the amortization of insurance acquisition costs and
   *  an increase in taxes, licenses and fees, offset by
   *  an increase in separate account fees,
   *  an increase in spread revenue (net investment income less interest
      credited to policyholders)
   *  an increase in other income, and
   *  a decrease in claims incurred and other 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 $74.6 million in the first six
 months of 2000, compared with the first six months of 1999.  Separate account
 variable annuity sales increased $184.6 million in the first six months of
 2000, compared with the first six months of 1999.  The increase in general
 account and separate account sales was primarily due to continued strong
 sales of a new variable annuity product introduced in the second half of
 1998 that offers both a variable option and a fixed option, including dollar
 cost averaging.

 Sales of variable annuities increase administrative fees earned and pose
 minimal investment risk, to the extent that policyholders allocate net
 premium to one or more subaccounts that invest in underlying investment funds
 that 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 six months of 2000, compared with the
 same period in 1999, due to a smaller decrease in investment income than in
 interest credited to policyholders.  The decrease in investment income is
 primarily due to a decrease in cash and invested assets from the 1999 levels,
 reflecting the surrender and withdrawal activity of 1999 and 2000 and the
 dividends paid to Kemper Corporation in 1999.  Also contributing to this
 decrease in cash and invested assets are the ongoing exchanges from the fixed
 to the variable option of in- force annuity policies, primarily reflecting
 the dollar cost averaging option mentioned above.  Somewhat mitigating these
 factors is 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.  The
 decrease in interest credited was primarily due to a decrease in policyholder
 liabilities due to surrender, withdrawal and exchange activity in 1999 and
 2000 and a decrease in crediting rates in 1999 and 2000.

</FN>


 Separate account fees on non-BOLI variable life and annuities increased
 during the first half of 2000, compared with 1999, primarily due to new
 sales during 1999 and 2000.  Also contributing to this increase was an
 increase in the market value of separate account assets during 1999, as
 the fees are primarily asset based.

 BOLI cost of insurance charges and fees decreased $7.6 million in the first
 half of 2000, compared with 1999, primarily reflecting a decrease in the net
 cost of insurance charges on the mortality-rated BOLI contracts.

 Other income increased $7.1 million in the first six months of 2000,
 compared with the same period in 1999.  The increase was primarily due to
 an increase in commission revenue from broker-dealer operations of
 approximately $6.9 million during the first half of 2000, compared with the
 first half of 1999.  This increase is mainly attributable to the inclusion
 of PMG's operating results effective April 1, 2000.  The increase in broker
 dealer commission revenue is somewhat offset by an increase in broker-dealer
 commission expense.

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

 General account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits increased $32.5
 million in the first half of 2000, compared with the first half of 1999,
 reflecting an increase in death benefits as well as an increase in overall
 surrenders and withdrawals as investors seek potentially higher returns from
 alternative investments.

 Separate account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits decreased $10.3
 million in the first half of 2000, compared with the first half of 1999.
 Contributing to this decrease is a partial withdrawal on a BOLI contract in
 the first half of 1999 of $39.8 million.  Excluding the partial withdrawal,
 separate account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits increased $29.5
 million in the first half of 2000, compared with the same period in 1999.

 Claims and other policyholder benefits decreased $1.7 million for the first
 six months of 2000, compared with the same period in 1999, primarily due to
 a decrease in claims assumed from FKLA.

 Taxes, licenses and fees increased during the first half of 2000, compared
 with 1999, primarily reflecting premium taxes on BOLI.  We received a
 corresponding expense load related to these premium taxes in separate
 account fees and other charges during the first half of 1999 and 2000.

 Commissions expense and the deferral of insurance acquisition costs increased
 in the first half of 2000, compared with the first half of 1999, due to the
 higher level of sales, excluding BOLI.  Commission expense related to broker-
 dealer operations increased approximately $6.7 million in the first half of
 2000, compared with the same period in 1999, primarily due to the inclusion
 of PMG's operating results, as mentioned earlier.

 Amortization of insurance acquisition costs increased $6.5 million in the
 first half of 2000, compared with the first half of 1999, primarily due to
 the increasing level of the deferred insurance acquisition cost asset.

 Operating expenses increased $6.7 million in the first half of 2000, compared
 with the same period in 1999.  This increase was primarily due to an increase
 in salaries and related benefits due to continued staffing needs for various
 new business initiatives.  Also contributing to the increase is the inclusion
 of PMG's operating expenses of approximately $.6 million.

INVESTMENTS

Our principal investment strategy is to maintain a balanced, well-diversified
portfolio supporting the insurance contracts written. We make shifts in our
investment portfolio depending on, among other factors, the evaluation of risk
and return in various markets, consistency with our 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

The fixed maturity investment portfolio, which is considered available for
sale, is carried 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 June 30, 2000 was
$139.3 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 June 30, 2000, investment-grade fixed maturities and cash and short-term
investments accounted for 83.0 percent of invested assets and cash, compared
with 83.8 percent at December 31, 1999.

At June 30, 2000, approximately 17.9 percent of investment-grade fixed
maturities were mortgage-backed securities, down from 20.0 percent at December
31, 1999, due to sales and paydowns during 2000.  We plan to continue to
reduce our holdings of such investments over time.

Approximately 15.7 percent of the investment-grade fixed maturities at June
30, 2000 consisted of corporate asset backed securities, compared with 16.8
percent at December 31, 1999.  The majority of investments in asset-backed
securities were backed by home equity loans, commercial mortgage-backed
securities and collateralized loan and bond obligations.


                                   14



Real estate-related investments

The $151.0 million real estate portfolio, consisting of joint venture and
third-party mortgage loans and other real estate-related investments,
constituted 4.2 percent of cash and invested assets at June 30, 2000, compared
with $151.6 million, or 4.0 percent, at December 31, 1999.


Real estate outlook

Loans to a master limited partnership (the "MLP") between subsidiaries of
Kemper and subsidiaries of Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company, a former
affiliate, amounted to $55.5 million (net of reserves) at June 30, 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 nonaccrual status effective January
1, 1999 to ensure that book value of the MLP did not increase over net
realizable value.

Troubled real estate-related investments are made up of loans on nonaccrual
status, before reserves and writedowns, totaling $96.7 million and $98.3
million at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. We do not
accrue interest on real estate-related investments when it is judged that the
likelihood of interest collection is doubtful.  Loans on nonaccrual status
after reserves and write-downs amounted to $74.7 million and $76.3 million at
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.


Net investment income

Pre-tax net investment income totaled $130.6 million in the first half of
2000, compared with $131.2 million in the first half of 1999.  Included in
pre-tax net investment income is our 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 us that are on nonaccrual status.

Total foregone investment income before tax on nonaccrual real estate-related
investments was as follows:

                                            ====      ====


Foregone investment income from the nonaccrual of real estate related
investments is net of our share of interest expense on these loans excluded
from our 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 future investment
income and realized investment results.


                                   15



Interest rates

Interest rates rose in the first half 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

We carefully monitor 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 liquidity are deposits for fixed annuities, investment income, premium
income, separate account fees, other operating revenue and cash provided
from maturing or sold investments.
