                                   (Unaudited)

1.     Basis  of  Presentation
       -----------------------

     At  December  31,  1998,  First  SunAmerica  Life  Insurance  Company  (the
"Company") was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc. On January
1, 1999, SunAmerica Inc. merged with and into American International Group, Inc.
("AIG")  in  a  tax-free  reorganization  that  has been treated as a pooling of
interests for accounting purposes. Thus, SunAmerica Inc. ceased to exist on that
date.  However,  on  the  date of merger, substantially all of the net assets of
SunAmerica  Inc.  were  contributed  to  a  newly formed subsidiary of AIG named
SunAmerica  Inc.  ("SunAmerica").

In  the  opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
to  present  fairly  the  Company's  financial position as of March 31, 1999 and
December  31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The results of operations for the
three  months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to  be  expected  for  the  full  year.

The  Company  has  changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.
The  accompanying  unaudited  financial statements should be read in conjunction
with  the  audited  financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998,  contained  in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the unaudited
financial  statements  as  of  and for the three months ended December 31, 1998,
contained  in  the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-Q.  Certain items have
been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  current  period's  presentation.

2.     Reinsurance
       -----------

On  December  31,  1998,  Anchor  National  Life Insurance Company ("ANLIC"), an
affiliate  of  the  Company,  acquired  the  individual  life  business  and the
individual  and  group  annuity business of MBL Life Assurance Corporation ("MBL
Life"),  via  a  100%  coinsurance  transaction,  for  a  cash purchase price of
$128,420,000.  As part of this transaction, the affiliate acquired assets having
an aggregate fair value of $5,718,227,000, composed primarily of invested assets
totaling  $5,715,010,000.  Liabilities  assumed  in  this  acquisition  totaled
$5,831,266,000,  including  $3,413,827,000  of  fixed  annuity  reserves,
$2,317,365,000  of  universal  life  reserves  and  $70,687,000  of  guaranteed
investment  contract  reserves.  Reserves for universal life contracts are based
on  fund  value.

     This  business  was  assumed  from MBL life subject to existing reinsurance
ceded  agreements.  At  December  31,  1998, the maximum retention on any single
life was $2 million, and a total credit of $5,057,000 was taken against the life
insurance  reserves,  representing  predominantly  yearly  renewable  term
reinsurance.  In  order to limit even further the exposure to loss on any single
insured  and  to  recover  an  additional portion of the benefits paid over such
limits,  ANLIC entered into a reinsurance treaty effective January 1, 1999 under
which  the  affiliate  retains  no more than $100,000 of risk on any one insured
life.  With  respect  to these coinsurance agreements, ANLIC could become liable
for  all  obligations of the reinsured policies if the reinsurers were to become
unable  to  meet  the  obligations  assumed  under  the  respective  reinsurance
agreements.

2.     Reinsurance  (continued)
       -----------

     Included  in  the  block  of  business  acquired  by ANLIC from MBL Life is
approximately $250,000,000 of individual life business and $590,000,000 of group
annuity business whose contract owners are residents of New York State ("the New
York  Business").  Approximately  six  months  subsequent  to  completion of the
transaction,  the  New  York  Business  will  be acquired by the Company, via an
assumption  reinsurance  agreement,  and  the  remainder of the business will be
acquired  by  ANLIC via an assumption reinsurance agreement with MBL Life, which
will  supersede the coinsurance agreement.  The $128,420,000 purchase price will
be  allocated  between  the  Company and ANLIC based on their respective assumed
reserves.

3.     Adoption  of  New  Accounting  Standard
       ---------------------------------------

     Effective  October  1,  1998,  the  Company  adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130")
which  requires  the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income
from  operations.  Comprehensive  income is a more inclusive financial reporting
methodology  that  includes  disclosure  of  certain  financial information that
historically  has  not  been  recognized  in the calculation of net income.  The
adoption  of  SFAS  130  did  not  have  an  impact  on the Company's results of
operations,  financial condition or liquidity.  Comprehensive income amounts for
the prior year are disclosed to conform to the current year's presentation.  Net
unrealized  gains  on bonds and notes available for sale decreased by $2,696,000
during  the  three months ended March 31, 1999, and increased by $876,000 during
the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998.

                     FIRST SUNAMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Management's  discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations  of  First  SunAmerica Life Insurance Company (the "Company") for the
three  months ended March 31, 1999 ("1999") and March 31, 1998 ("1998") follows.
The  Company  has  changed its fiscal year end to December 31.  Accordingly, the
quarter  ended  December  31,  1998  was  a  transition  period.

     In  connection  with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act  of 1995, the Company cautions readers regarding certain
forward-looking  statements contained in this report and in any other statements
made by, or on behalf of, the Company, whether or not in future filings with the
Securities  and  Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Forward-looking statements are
statements  not  based  on  historical  information  and  which relate to future
operations,  strategies,  financial  results, or other developments.  Statements
using verbs such as "expect," "anticipate," "believe" or words of similar import
generally  involve  forward-looking statements.  Without limiting the foregoing,
forward-looking  statements  include  statements  which  represent the Company's
beliefs  concerning  future  levels  of  sales  and redemptions of the Company's
products, investment spreads and yields, or the earnings or profitability of the
Company's  activities.

     Forward-looking  statements  are  necessarily  based  on  estimates  and
assumptions  that  are  inherently subject to significant business, economic and
competitive  uncertainties  and  contingencies,  many  of  which  are beyond the
Company's  control and many of which are subject to change.  These uncertainties
and  contingencies  could  cause  actual results to differ materially from those
expressed  in  any  forward-looking  statements  made  by,  or on behalf of, the
Company.  Whether  or  not actual results differ materially from forward-looking
statements  may  depend  on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable developments.
Some  may  be national in scope, such as general economic conditions, changes in
tax  law  and  changes  in interest rates.  Some may be related to the insurance
industry  generally,  such  as  pricing competition, regulatory developments and
industry  consolidation.  Others may relate to the Company specifically, such as
credit,  volatility  and  other  risks  associated with the Company's investment
portfolio.  Investors  are  also  directed  to  consider  other  risks  and
uncertainties  discussed  in  documents  filed by the Company with the SEC.  The
Company  disclaims  any  obligation  to  update  forward-looking  information.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

     NET  INCOME  totaled  $3.8  million  in 1999, compared with $3.7 million in
1998.

     PRETAX  INCOME  totaled $6.5 million in 1999, compared with $6.3 million in
1998.  The  slight increase resulted primarily from higher net investment income
and  variable  annuity  fees,  which  were  partially  offset by lower surrender
charges  and  increased  amortization  of  deferred  acquisition  costs.

     NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME,  which  is the spread between the income earned on
invested  assets  and  the  interest  paid  on  fixed  annuities  and  other
interest-bearing  liabilities,  increased  to  $10.5  million  in 1999 from $9.3
million  in  1998.  These  amounts  represent  2.82%  on average invested assets
(computed  on  a  daily  basis)  of  $1.49  billion in 1999 and 2.36% on average
invested  assets  of  $1.57  billion  in  1998.

     Net investment spreads include the effect of income earned on the excess of
average  invested  assets  over  average  interest-bearing  liabilities.




































                                       10
<PAGE>
This  excess  amounted  to  $71.2 million in 1999 and $50.1 million in 1998. The
difference  between  the Company's yield on average invested assets and the rate
paid on average interest-bearing liabilities (the "Spread Difference") was 2.58%
in  1999  and  2.19%  in  1998.

     Investment  income  (and  the  related  yields  on average invested assets)
totaled  $28.0  million  (7.52%) in 1999, compared with $29.6 million (7.55%) in
1998.  Investment  yields  were  slightly  lower  in 1999 primarily because of a
generally  declining  interest  rate  environment.

     Total  interest  expense equaled $17.5 million in 1999 and $20.3 million in
1998.  The  average  rate  paid on all interest-bearing liabilities was 4.94% in
1999,  compared with 5.36% in 1998.  Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $1.42
billion  in  1999  and  $1.52 billion in 1998.  The decrease in the average rate
paid  on interest-bearing liabilities primarily resulted from a reduction in the
average crediting rate on the Company's closed block of fixed annuities due to a
generally  declining  interest  rate  environment.

     The  modest  decline  in average invested assets in 1999 reflects a similar
modest  decline  in average interest-bearing liabilities, which results from the
combined  effect of decreased sales of the Company's fixed rate products and net
exchanges  from  fixed  accounts  into the separate accounts of variable annuity
contracts.  Fixed  annuity premiums totaled $16.2 million in 1999, compared with
$33.1  million  in  1998  and  are  largely  premiums  for the fixed accounts of
variable  annuity  products.  These  amounts  represent  5%  and 9% of the fixed
annuity  reserve  balances  at  the  beginning  of  the  respective  periods.

     NET  REALIZED  INVESTMENT  GAINS  totaled $0.2 million in 1999, compared to
$0.4  million in 1998.  Net realized investment gains in 1999 include impairment
writedowns of $0.6 million.  There were no impairment writedowns in 1998.  Thus,
net gains from sales and redemptions of investments totaled $0.8 million in 1999
and  $0.4  million  in  1998.

     The  Company sold or redeemed invested assets, principally bonds and notes,
aggregating  $158.6  million  and $192.6 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Sales  of  investments  result  from  the  active  management  of  the Company's
investment  portfolio.  Because  redemptions  of  investments  are  generally
involuntary  and  sales  of  investments  are  made  in  both rising and falling
interest  rate  environments, net gains and losses from sales and redemptions of
investments  fluctuate  from  period to period, and represent 0.21% and 0.10% of
average  invested  assets  in  1999  and  1998,  respectively.  Active portfolio
management  involves  the  ongoing  evaluation  of  asset  sectors,  individual
securities  within  the investment portfolio and the reallocation of investments
from  sectors that are perceived to be relatively overvalued to sectors that are
perceived  to  be  relatively  undervalued.  The  intent of the Company's active
portfolio  management  is to maximize total returns on the investment portfolio,
taking  into  account  credit,  option,  liquidity  and  interest-rate  risk.

     Impairment writedowns include provisions applied to bonds in 1999 which, on
an annualized basis, represent 0.17% of average invested assets. Such writedowns
are  based  upon estimates of the net realizable value of the applicable assets.
Actual  realization  will  be  dependent  upon  future  events.

     VARIABLE  ANNUITY  FEES are based on the market value of assets in separate
accounts  supporting variable annuity contracts.  Such fees totaled $1.4 million
in  1999  and  $0.8  million  in  1998.  These  increased fees reflect growth in
average  variable annuity assets, principally due to receipt of variable annuity
premiums,  increased market values, and net exchanges into the separate accounts
from  the  fixed  accounts  of  variable  annuity contracts, partially offset by
surrenders.  Variable  annuity assets averaged $358.1 million  during  1999  and
$215.0  million  during  1998.  Variable  annuity



































                                       11
<PAGE>
premiums,  which  exclude  premiums  allocated to the fixed accounts of variable
annuity  products,  aggregated $12.2 million in 1999, and $19.1 million in 1998.
These  amounts  represent  14%  and  39%  of  variable  annuity  reserves at the
beginning  of  the  respective  periods.

     Sales of variable annuity products (which include premiums allocated to the
fixed accounts) ("Variable Annuity Product Sales") amounted to $26.3 million and
$38.0  million in 1999 and in 1998, respectively, and primarily reflect sales of
the  Company's  flagship  variable  annuity, Polaris.  Polaris is a multimanager
variable  annuity  that  offers  investors  a  choice of 26 variable funds and 6
guaranteed  fixed-rate  funds.  Variable  sales  have  decreased  primarily as a
result  of  regulatory  changes in the State of New York relating to non-taxable
policy  exchange  requirements.  Additionally,  industry  sales  of  variable
annuities  have  slowed  as  investors  paused  to  re-evaluate their investment
decisions  in  light of volatile markets.  The Company believes that fluctuating
market conditions increase the value of financial planning services and make the
flexibility  and  security  of  variable  annuities  even  more  attractive.

     The  Company  has encountered increased competition in the variable annuity
marketplace  during  recent  years  and  anticipates that the market will remain
highly competitive for the foreseeable future.  Also, from time to time, Federal
initiatives  are  proposed which could affect the taxation of variable annuities
and  annuities  generally  (See  "Regulation").

     SURRENDER  CHARGES  on fixed and variable annuities totaled $0.6 million in
1999  and  $1.1  million  in  1998.  Surrender charges generally are assessed on
annuity  withdrawals  at  declining  rates  during  the  first seven years of an
annuity  contract.  Withdrawal  payments,  which include surrenders and lump-sum
annuity  benefits, totaled $41.9 million in 1999, compared with $69.7 million in
1998.  These  payments  represent 9.8% and 16.4%, respectively, of the aggregate
of  average  fixed  and variable annuity reserves.  Withdrawals include variable
annuity  payments  from  the  separate  accounts  totaling $5.2 million (5.9% of
average  variable  annuity  reserves)  in 1999 and $4.6 million (8.5% of average
variable  annuity  reserves) in 1998.  The decrease in fixed annuity withdrawals
principally resulted from the high withdrawals in the prior year on the acquired
annuity  business  and from regulatory changes in the State of New York relating
to  non-taxable  policy  exchange  requirements.  Management  anticipates  that
withdrawal  rates  will  remain  relatively  stable  for the foreseeable future.

     GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES totaled $1.0 million in 1999 and $1.1
million  in 1998.  General and administrative expenses remain closely controlled
through  a  company-wide cost containment program and continue to represent less
than  1%  of  average  total  assets.

     AMORTIZATION  OF  DEFERRED  ACQUISITION COSTS totaled $5.1 million in 1999,
compared  with  $4.2  million  in  1998.  The increase in amortization primarily
reflects  the  additional  Variable  Annuity  Product  Sales  and the subsequent
amortization  of  related  deferred  commissions and other direct selling costs.

     ANNUAL  COMMISSIONS  represent  renewal  commissions,  including those paid
quarterly  in  arrears  to  maintain the persistency of certain of the Company's
fixed  and  variable  annuity  contracts.  Annual commissions totaled $82,000 in
1999  and  $27,000  in  1998.

     INCOME  TAX  EXPENSE totaled $2.7 million in 1999 and $2.6 million in 1998,
representing  an  effective  annualized  tax  rate  of  41%  for  each  period.

FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  LIQUIDITY

     SHAREHOLDER'S  EQUITY  increased  to  $185.8 million at March 31, 1999 from
$184.7  million  at  December 31, 1998, primarily due to the $3.8 million of net
income  recorded  in  1999,  offset  by the $2.7 million decrease in accumulated
other  comprehensive  income.

     INVESTED  ASSETS  at March 31, 1999 totaled $1.49 billion and $1.52 billion
at  December  31,  1998.  The  Company  manages  most  of  its  invested  assets
internally.  The  Company's  general investment philosophy is to hold fixed-rate
assets  for  long-term  investment.  Thus, it does not have a trading portfolio.
However, the Company has determined that all of its portfolio of bonds and notes
(the  "Bond Portfolio") is available to be sold in response to changes in market
interest  rates,  changes  in  relative  value  of  asset sectors and individual
securities,  changes  in  prepayment risk, changes in the credit quality outlook
for  certain  securities, and the Company's need for liquidity and other similar
factors.

     THE BOND PORTFOLIO, which constitutes 84% of the Company's total investment
portfolio, had an aggregate fair value that was below its amortized cost by $2.7
million  at March 31, 1999, compared with an excess of $19.8 million at December
31,  1998.

     At March 31, 1998, the Bond Portfolio included $1.23 billion of bonds rated
by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"),
Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. ("DCR"), Fitch Investors Service, L.P. ("Fitch")
or  the  National  Association  of  Insurance  Commissioners ("NAIC"), and $23.8
million  of  bonds rated by the Company pursuant to statutory ratings guidelines
established  by the NAIC.  At March 31, 1999, approximately $1.16 billion of the
Bond  Portfolio  was  investment  grade,  including  $516.4  million  of  U.S.
government/agency  securities  and  mortgage-backed  securities  ("MBSs").

     At  March 31, 1999, the Bond Portfolio included $87.4 million of bonds that
were  not investment grade.  These non-investment-grade bonds accounted for 4.4%
of  the  Company's  total  assets  and  5.9%  of  its  invested  assets.

     Non-investment-grade securities generally provide higher yields and involve
greater  risks  than investment-grade securities because their issuers typically
are  more  highly  leveraged  and more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions
than  investment-grade  issuers.  In  addition,  the  trading  market  for these
securities  is  usually  more limited than for investment-grade securities.  The
Company  had  no  material  concentrations of non-investment-grade securities at
March  31,  1999.

     The  table  on  the  following page summarizes the Company's rated bonds by
rating  classification  as  of  March  31,  1999.

Footnotes  to  the  table  of  Rated  Bonds  by  Rating  Classification
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)     S&P and Fitch rate debt securities in rating categories ranging from AAA
(the  highest) to D (in payment default).  A plus (+) or minus (-) indicates the
debt's  relative  standing within the rating category.  A security rated BBB- or
higher  is considered investment grade.  Moody's rates debt securities in rating
categories ranging from Aaa (the highest) to C (extremely poor prospects of ever
attaining  any  real  investment  standing).  The  number  1, 2 or 3 (with 1 the
highest  and  3  the  lowest)  indicates the debt's relative standing within the
rating  category.  A  security  rated  Baa3  or  higher is considered investment
grade.  DCR  rates  debt  securities  in rating categories ranging from AAA (the
highest)  to  DD  (in  payment  default).  A plus (+) or minus (-) indicates the
debt's  relative  standing within the rating category.  A security rated BBB- or
higher  is  considered  investment  grade.  Issues  are categorized based on the
highest  of  the  S&P,  Moody's,  DCR  and  Fitch  ratings  if rated by multiple
agencies.

(2)     Bonds and short-term promissory instruments are divided into six quality
categories  for NAIC rating purposes, ranging from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest) for
nondefaulted  bonds  plus  one category, 6, for bonds in or near default.  These
six  categories  correspond  with the S&P/Moody's/DCR/Fitch rating groups listed
above, with categories 1 and 2 considered investment grade.  The NAIC categories
include  $23.8  million  of  assets  that  were rated by the Company pursuant to
applicable  NAIC  rating  guidelines.







































































                                       15

     Senior  secured  loans ("Secured Loans") are included in the Bond Portfolio
and  aggregated  $109.4  million at March 31, 1999.  Secured Loans are senior to
subordinated debt and equity, and are secured by assets of the issuer.  At March
31, 1999, Secured Loans consisted of $32.9 million of publicly traded securities
and  $76.5  million  of  privately  traded  securities.  These Secured Loans are
composed  of  loans  to  59  borrowers spanning 14 industries, with 23% of these
assets concentrated in utilities and 9% concentrated in food.  No other industry
concentration  constituted  more  than  6%  of  these  assets.

     While  the  trading market for the Company's privately traded Secured Loans
is  more  limited  than  for  publicly  traded  issues, management believes that
participation  in  these  transactions  has  enabled  the Company to improve its
investment yield.  As a result of restrictive financial covenants, these Secured
Loans  involve  greater  risk  of  technical  default  than  do  publicly traded
investment-grade securities.  However, management believes that the risk of loss
upon  default  for  these Secured Loans is mitigated by such financial covenants
and  the  collateral  values underlying the Secured Loans. The Company's Secured
Loans  are  rated  by  S&P,  Moody's,  DCR,  Fitch,  the NAIC or by the Company,
pursuant  to  comparable  statutory  ratings guidelines established by the NAIC.

     MORTGAGE LOANS aggregated $197.4 million at March 31, 1999 and consisted of
169  commercial  first  mortgage  loans  with  an  average  loan  balance  of
approximately  $1.2  million,  collateralized by properties located in 34 states
and  the  District of Columbia.  Approximately 38% of this portfolio was office,
30%  was  retail, 13% was industrial, 12% was multifamily residential and 7% was
other types.  At March 31, 1999, approximately 26% of this portfolio was secured
by  properties located in California, approximately 14% by properties located in
New  York,  and  approximately 10% by properties located in Michigan and no more
than  6% of this portfolio was secured by properties located in any other single
state.  At  March  31, 1999, one mortgage loan had an outstanding balance of $10
million  or  more,  which  represented  approximately  5% of this portfolio, and
approximately 36% of the mortgage loan portfolio consisted of loans with balloon
payments  due  before  April 1, 2002.  During 1999 and 1998, loans delinquent by
more  than  90  days,  foreclosed  loans  and  restructured  loans have not been
significant  in  relation  to  the  total  mortgage  loan  portfolio.

     At  March  31,  1999, approximately 69% of the mortgage loans were seasoned
loans  underwritten to the Company's standards and purchased at or near par from
other financial institutions.  Such loans generally have higher average interest
rates  than  loans  that  could be originated today. The balance of the mortgage
loan  portfolio  has  been  originated  by the Company under strict underwriting
standards.  Commercial  mortgage loans on properties such as offices, hotels and
shopping  centers  generally  represent  a higher level of risk than do mortgage
loans  secured  by  multifamily residences.  This greater risk is due to several
factors,  including the larger size of such loans and the more immediate effects
of general economic conditions on these commercial property types.  However, due
to  the  seasoned nature of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio and its strict
underwriting  standards,  the Company believes that it has prudently managed the
risk  attributable  to  its mortgage loan portfolio while maintaining attractive
yields.

     ASSET-LIABILITY  MATCHING  is utilized by the Company to minimize the risks
of  interest rate fluctuations and disintermediation.  The Company believes that
its  fixed-rate liabilities should be backed by a portfolio principally composed
of  fixed-rate  investments  that  generate  predictable  rates  of return.  The
Company  does  not  have a specific target rate of return. Instead, its rates of
return  vary  over  time depending on the current interest rate environment, the
slope  of the yield curve, the spread at which fixed-rate investments are priced
over  the  yield  curve,  and  general  economic





































                                       16
<PAGE>
conditions.  Its  portfolio  strategy  is  constructed  with  a  view to achieve
adequate  risk-adjusted  returns  consistent  with  its investment objectives of
effective  asset-liability  matching,  liquidity  and  safety.  The  Company's
fixed-rate products incorporate surrender charges or other restrictions in order
to  encourage  persistency.  Approximately  84%  of  the Company's fixed annuity
reserves  had  surrender  penalties  or  other  restrictions  at March 31, 1999.

     As  part  of  its asset-liability matching discipline, the Company conducts
detailed  computer  simulations that model its fixed-rate assets and liabilities
under  commonly  used  stress-test interest rate scenarios.  With the results of
these  computer  simulations, the Company can measure the potential gain or loss
in fair value of its interest-rate sensitive instruments and seek to protect its
economic  value  and  achieve  a predictable spread between what it earns on its
invested  assets and what it pays on its liabilities by designing its fixed-rate
products  and conducting its investment operations to closely match the duration
of  the  fixed-rate assets to that of its fixed-rate liabilities.  The Company's
fixed-rate  assets  include:  cash  and short-term investments; bonds and notes;
and mortgage loans.  At March 31, 1999, these assets had an aggregate fair value
of  $1.49  billion with a duration of 3.8.  The Company's fixed rate liabilities
are  its  fixed  annuity contracts.  At March 31, 1999, these liabilities had an
aggregate fair value (determined by discounting future contractual cash flows by
related  market rates of interest) of $1.43 billion with a duration of 3.5.  The
Company's  potential  exposure  due  to  a  relative  10% increase in prevailing
interest  rates  from  their  March 31, 1999 levels is a loss of $3.7 million in
fair value of its fixed-rate assets that is not offset by a decrease in the fair
value  of  its fixed-rate liabilities.  Because the Company actively manages its
assets  and  liabilities and has strategies in place to minimize its exposure to
loss as interest rate changes occur, it expects that actual losses would be less
than  the  estimated  potential  loss.

     Duration is a common option-adjusted measure for the price sensitivity of a
fixed-maturity  portfolio  to  changes  in  interest  rates.  It  measures  the
approximate  percentage  change in market value of a if interest rates change by
100  basis points, recognizing the changes in cash flows resulting from embedded
options  such  as  policy surrenders, investment prepayments and bond calls.  It
also  incorporates  the assumption that the Company will continue to utilize its
existing  strategies  of  pricing  its  fixed  annuity  products, allocating its
available  cash  flow  amongst  its  various  investment  portfolio  sectors and
maintaining sufficient levels of liquidity.  Because the calculation of duration
involves estimation and incorporates assumptions, potential changes in portfolio
value  indicated  by  the portfolio's duration will likely be different from the
actual  changes  experienced  under  given  interest  rate  scenarios,  and  the
differences  may  be  material.

     The  Company  also  seeks  to  provide liquidity from time to time by using
reverse  repurchase  agreements  ("Reverse Repos"), and by investing in MBSs. It
also  seeks  to enhance its spread income by using Reverse Repos.  Reverse Repos
involve  a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase the same securities
at  a  later date at an agreed upon price and are generally over-collateralized.
MBSs  are generally investment-grade securities collateralized by large pools of
mortgage  loans.  MBSs generally pay principal and interest monthly.  The amount
of  principal  and interest payments may fluctuate as a result of prepayments of
the  underlying  mortgage  loans.

     There  are risks associated with some of the techniques the Company uses to
provide  liquidity,  enhance  its  spread  income  and  match  its  assets  and
liabilities.  The  primary  risk  associated with the Company's Reverse Repos is
counterparty  risk.  The  Company  believes, however, that the counterparties to
its  Reverse  Repos  are financially responsible and that the counterparty  risk
associated  with  those  transactions  is  minimal.  It  is  the




































                                       17
<PAGE>
Company's  policy that these agreements are entered into with counterparties who
have  a  debt  rating  of A/A2 or better from both S&P and Moody's.  The Company
continually  monitors its credit exposure with respect to those agreements.  The
primary  risk  associated with MBSs is that a changing interest rate environment
might  cause prepayment of the underlying obligations at speeds slower or faster
than  anticipated  at  the  time  of their purchase.  As part of its decision to
purchase  an  MBS,  the Company assesses the risk of prepayment by analyzing the
security's projected performance over an array of interest-rate scenarios.  Once
an  MBS  is  purchased,  the  Company  monitors its actual prepayment experience
monthly  to reassess the relative attractiveness of the security with the intent
to  maximize  total  return.

     INVESTED  ASSETS  EVALUATION  is  routinely  conducted  by  the  Company.
Management  identifies  monthly  those  investments  that  require  additional
monitoring  and  carefully  reviews  the  carrying values of such investments at
least  quarterly to determine whether specific investments should be placed on a
nonaccrual  basis  and  to  determine  declines  in value that may be other than
temporary.  In  making these reviews for bonds, management principally considers
the  adequacy  of  any  collateral,  compliance  with contractual covenants, the
borrower's  recent  financial  performance,  news  reports  and other externally
generated information concerning the creditor's affairs. In the case of publicly
traded  bonds,  management also considers market value quotations, if available.
For  mortgage  loans,  management generally considers information concerning the
mortgaged  property  and,  among other things, factors impacting the current and
expected payment status of the loan and, if available, the current fair value of
the  underlying  collateral.

     The  carrying values of investments that are determined to have declines in
value  that are other than temporary are reduced to net realizable value and, in
the case of bonds, no further accruals of interest are made.  The provisions for
impairment  on  mortgage  loans are based on losses expected by management to be
realized  on  transfers of mortgage loans to real estate, on the disposition and
settlement  of mortgage loans and on mortgage loans that management believes may
not  be collectible in full. Accrual of interest is suspended when principal and
interest  payments  on  mortgage  loans  are  past  due  more  than  90  days.

     DEFAULTED INVESTMENTS, comprising all investments that are in default as to
the payment of principal or interest, totaled $2.8 million at March 31, 1999 and
constituted  0.2%  of  total  invested  assets.  At  December 31, 1998 defaulted
investments  totaled $2.4 million and constituted 0.2% of total invested assets.

     SOURCES  OF  LIQUIDITY  are readily available to the Company in the form of
the  Company's  existing  portfolio  of cash and short-term investments, Reverse
Repo  capacity on invested assets and, if required, proceeds from invested asset
sales.  At  March  31,  1999, approximately $729.8 million of the Company's Bond
Portfolio had an aggregate unrealized gain of $22.4 million, while approximately
$519.3  million  of the Bond Portfolio had an aggregate unrealized loss of $25.1
million.  In  addition,  the  Company's  investment portfolio currently provides
approximately  $14.5  million  of monthly cash flow from scheduled principal and
interest  payments.  Historically, cash flows from operations and from the sales
of  the  Company's  annuity products have been more than sufficient in amount to
satisfy  the  Company's  liquidity  needs.

     Management  is  aware  that  prevailing  market  interest  rates  may shift
significantly  and  has  strategies  in  place  to  manage either an increase or
decrease  in  prevailing  rates.  In  a  rising  interest  rate environment, the
Company's  average  cost  of funds would increase over time as it prices its new
and  renewing  annuities  to  maintain  a  generally  competitive  market  rate.
Management  would  seek  to  place new funds in investments that were matched in





































                                       18
<PAGE>
duration  to,  and  higher  yielding than, the liabilities assumed.  The Company
believes  that liquidity to fund withdrawals would be available through incoming
cash  flow, the sale of short-term or floating-rate instruments or Reverse Repos
on the Company's substantial MBS segment of the Bond Portfolio, thereby avoiding
the  sale  of  fixed-rate  assets  in  an  unfavorable  bond  market.

     In a declining rate environment, the Company's cost of funds would decrease
over  time,  reflecting  lower  interest crediting rates on its fixed annuities.
Should  increased  liquidity  be  required for withdrawals, the Company believes
that  a  significant  portion  of  its investments could be sold without adverse
consequences in light of the general strengthening that would be expected in the
bond  market.

YEAR  2000

     The  Company  relies  significantly on computer systems and applications in
its  daily  operations.  Many  of  these  systems  are  not  presently year 2000
compliant,  which means that because they have historically used only two digits
to  identify  the  year  in  a  date, they will fail to distinguish dates in the
"2000s"  from dates in the "1900s."  The Company's business, financial condition
and  results  of  operations  could  be materially and adversely affected by the
failure  of  the Company's systems and applications (and those operated by third
parties  interfacing  with  the  Company's systems and applications) to properly
operate  or  manage  these  dates.

     SunAmerica  has  a coordinated plan to repair or replace these noncompliant
systems and to obtain similar assurances from third parties interfacing with the
Company's systems and applications.  In fiscal 1997, SunAmerica recorded a $15.0
million  provision  for estimated programming costs to make necessary repairs of
certain  specific  noncompliant  systems.  In  addition,  SunAmerica  is  making
expenditures,  which  it expects will ultimately total $12.3 million, to replace
certain  other  specific  noncompliant  systems,  which  expenditures  will  be
capitalized  as  software  costs  and amortized over future periods.  The entire
cost of these changes will be borne by the Company's affiliates.  Both phases of
the  project  are  currently  proceeding  in  accordance  with the plan and were
substantially  completed  by  the  end  of  calendar  1998.  Testing of both the
repaired  and  replacement systems is expected to be completed by July 31, 1999.
However, the Company will continue to test its computer systems and applications
throughout  1999  to  ensure  continued  compliance.

     In  addition,  the  Company  has  distributed  a year 2000 questionnaire to
certain  of  its  significant  suppliers,  distributors, financial institutions,
lessors  and  others  with  which  it  does business to evaluate their year 2000
compliance plans and state of readiness and to determine the extent to which the
Company's  systems  and applications may be affected by the failure of others to
remediate  their  own  year  2000  issues.  To  date,  however,  the Company has
received  only  preliminary feedback from such parties and has not independently
confirmed  any  information received from other parties with respect to the year
2000  issues.  Therefore, there can be no assurance that such other parties will
complete  their  year  2000 conversions in a timely fashion or will not suffer a
year  2000 business disruption that may adversely affect the Company's financial
condition  and  results  of  operations.

     Because  the  Company's  year  2000  conversion is expected to be completed
prior to any potential disruption to the Company's business, the Company has not
developed  a  comprehensive  year  2000  contingency  plan.  The Company closely
monitors  the  progression  of  its plan for compliance, and if necessary, would
devote  additional resources to assure the timely completion of  its  year  2000
plan.  If  the  Company  determines  that  its  business  is  at

material  risk  of disruption due to the year 2000 issue or anticipates that its
year 2000 conversion will not be completed in a timely fashion, the Company will
work  to  enhance  its  contingency  plans.

     The  discussion  above  contains  certain  forward-looking statements.  The
costs  of  the  year 2000 conversion, date which the Company has set to complete
such conversion and possible risks associated with the year 2000 issue are based
on the Company's current estimates and are subject to various uncertainties that
could  cause  the  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  the  Company's
expectations.  Such  uncertainties  include,  among  others,  the success of the
Company  in  identifying  systems  and  applications  that  are  not  year  2000
compliant,  the  nature and amount of programming required to upgrade or replace
each  of  the  affected  systems and applications, the availability of qualified
personnel,  consultants  and  other  resources, and the success of the year 2000
conversion  efforts  of  others.

REGULATION

     The  Company  is  subject  to  regulation  and  supervision  by  insurance
regulatory  agencies  of  the  States  of New York, New Mexico and Nebraska, the
states in which the Company is authorized to transact business.  State insurance
laws  establish  supervisory  agencies with broad administrative and supervisory
powers.  Principal  among  these  powers  are  granting and revoking licenses to
transact  business,  regulating  marketing  and other trade practices, operating
guaranty  associations,  licensing  agents,  approving  policy forms, regulating
certain  premium  rates,  regulating  insurance  company  holding  systems,
establishing  reserve  and  valuation  requirements,  prescribing  the  form and
content  of  required  financial  statements  and reports, performing financial,
market  conduct  and  other  examinations,  determining  the  reasonableness and
adequacy  of  statutory  capital  and  surplus,  defining  acceptable accounting
principles,  regulating the type, valuation and amount of investments permitted,
and  limiting  the  amount  of  dividends  that  can  be  paid  and  the size of
transactions  that  can  be  consummated  without  first  obtaining  regulatory
approval.

     During  the last decade, the insurance regulatory framework has been placed
under increased scrutiny by various states, the federal government and the NAIC.
Various  states have considered or enacted legislation that changes, and in many
cases  increases,  the  states'  authority  to  regulate  insurance  companies.
Legislation  has been introduced from time to time in Congress that could result
in  the  federal  government  assuming  some role in the regulation of insurance
companies  or allowing combinations between insurance companies, banks and other
entities.  In  recent  years,  the  NAIC  has  developed  several model laws and
regulations  designed  to  reduce the risk of insurance company insolvencies and
market  conduct  violations.  These  initiatives  include  investment  reserve
requirements,  risk-based  capital  ("RBC") standards, codification of insurance
accounting principles, new investment standards and restrictions on an insurance
company's  ability  to  pay  dividends  to  its  stockholders.  The NAIC is also
currently  developing  model  laws  and  regulations relating to product design,
product  reserving  standards  and  illustrations for annuity products.  Current
proposals  are still being debated and the Company is monitoring developments in
this  area  and  the  effects  any  changes  would  have  on  the  Company.

     The  RBC standards consist of formulas which establish capital requirements
relating  to insurance, business, assets and interest rate risks, and which help
to  identify  companies  which  are  under-capitalized  and  require  specific
regulatory  actions  in the event an insurer's RBC falls below specified levels.
The  Company  has  more  than  enough  statutory  capital to meet the NAIC's RBC
requirements  as of the most recent calendar year-end. The state of New York, in
which  the Company is domiciled, has adopted these RBC standards and the Company
is  in  compliance  with  such  laws.  Further,  for



































                                       20
<PAGE>
statutory reporting purposes, the annuity reserves of the Company are calculated
in  accordance  with  statutory  requirements  and  are  adequate  under current
cash-flow  testing  models.

     From  time  to time, Federal initiatives are proposed that could affect the
Company's  business.  Such initiatives include employee benefit plan regulations
and  tax  law  changes affecting the taxation of insurance companies and the tax
treatment  of  insurance and other investment products. Proposals made in recent
years  to  limit the tax deferral of annuities or otherwise modify the tax rules
related  to  the treatment of annuities have not been enacted.  While certain of
the  proposals,  if  implemented,  could have an adverse effect on the Company's
sales of affected products, and, consequently, on its results of operations, the
Company  believes  such  proposals  have  a  small  likelihood of being enacted,
because  they  would  discourage a retirement savings and there is strong public
and  industry  opposition  to  them.
