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 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
3. The Company, Federal Kemper Life Assurance Company ("FKLA"), Zurich Life Insurance Company of America ("ZLICA"), and Fidelity Life Association ("FLA"), operate under the trade name Zurich Life ("ZL"). For purposes of operating segment disclosure, Zurich Life also includes the operations of Zurich Direct, Inc., an affiliated direct marketing agency and excludes FLA, as it is a mutual insurance company owned by its policyholders.

Zurich Life 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 Zurich Life because it is at the SBU level that Zurich Life can clearly identify customer segments and then work to understand and satisfy the needs of each customer. The contributions of Zurich Life's SBUs to consolidated revenues, operating results and certain balance sheet data pertaining thereto, are shown in the following tables on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Zurich Life 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 Zurich Life level. Zurich Life's SBUs cross legal entity lines, as certain similar products are sold by more than one legal entity. The vast majority of KILICO's business is derived from the Financial and RSG SBUs.

1. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 ("SFAS 142"), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 primarily addresses the accounting that must be applied to goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. Effective January 1, 2002, SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets no longer be amortized, but be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. SFAS 142 also requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually and that the amortization period for finite-lived intangible assets no longer be limited to forty years. SFAS 142 also requires additional financial statement disclosure about goodwill and intangible assets. Management is currently analyzing the valuation of goodwill per the terms of SFAS 142. Any impairment adjustment as a result of SFAS 142 implementation will be recorded in the second quarter of 2002. No amortization was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

The decrease in amortization of goodwill and other intangibles is due to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 ("SFAS 142")Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,issued in July 2001. SFAS 142 primarily addresses the accounting that must be applied to goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. Effective January 1, 2002, SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets no longer be amortized, but be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. We are currently analyzing the valuation of goodwill per the terms of SFAS 142. Any impairment adjustment as a result of SFAS 142 implementation will be recorded in the second quarter of 2002. No amortization was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

Operating earnings before amortization of goodwill decreased to $8.5 million in the first three months of 2002, compared with $11.5 million in the first three months of 2001. This decrease was primarily due to:

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

Sales of annuity products consist of total deposits received, which are not recorded as revenue within the consolidated statements of operations. Variable annuity deposits, including deposits under the fixed account option, increased $28.6 million in the first three months of 2002, compared with the first three months of 2001. The increase in the variable annuity deposits is primarily due to sales of our DESTINATIONSSM product that offers both a variable and a fixed option, including dollar cost averaging and a guaranteed retirement income benefit("GRIB")option.

In the fourth quarter of 2001, we discontinued offering the GRIB option with the DESTINATIONSSM product due to the continued decline in the stock market. Future sales of the DESTINATIONSSM product are expected to be substantially lower because of this decision. The increase in the first quarter of 2002 is primarily due to Internal Revenue Service Section 1035 exchanges initiated in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Fixed annuity deposits decreased $15.0 million in the first three months of 2002, compared with the first three months of 2001, as certain investors seek a more competitive return on their investments as interest rates declined over the past 12 months.

The decrease in BOLI sales in 2002 was primarily due to the nature of the BOLI product - high dollar volume per sale, low frequency of sales.

Total assets under management increased $246.8 million from December 31, 2001, to March 31, 2002, primarily reflecting the increase in variable annuity sales. The level of policyholder surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits also directly impacts the level of assets under management from year to year. Total assets under management were also affected by equity market and interest rate fluctuations.

Spread revenue decreased in the first three months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, due to a decrease in investment income and an increase in interest credited to policyholders. The decrease in investment income was primarily due to a declining general account invested asset base and the reinvestment of 2001 and 2002 sales proceeds, maturities and prepayments in lower yielding securities due to the lower interest rate environment. The declining invested asset base is primarily attributable to the transfer of invested assets that supported the BOLI funds withheld account ("FWA"). During the first quarter of 2002, we amended our BOLI reinsurance agreement with Zurich Insurance Company, Bermuda Branch ("ZICBB"). Under the amended agreement, the balance in the FWA was transferred to a trust account that acts as security for the reinsurance agreement. On January 25,2002, approximately $222.5 million of invested assets were transferred to the trust account which is not reflected within our consolidated financial statements. 
                                
The increase in interest credited in the first three months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, was due to higher average policyholder account balances as well as a slight increase in average interest crediting rates, primarily due to new business issued during 2001.

Separate account fees on non-BOLI variable life and annuities increased in the first three months of 2002, compared with the first three months of 2001, primarily due to the volume of new sales during 2001 and 2002. This increase was somewhat offset by a decrease in fees related to the drop in the stock market, as the fees are primarily asset-based.

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. Spread revenue can also improve over time by increasing investment income.

General account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits decreased $18.2 million in the first three months of 2002, compared with the first three months of 2001 as equity markets remained volatile.

Separate account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits decreased $81.7 million in the first three months of 2002, compared with the first three months of 2001. The decrease is primarily due to the surrender of a BOLI contract in the first quarter of 2001.

Claims incurred and other policyholder benefits increased $3.8 million for the period ended March 31, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The increase is primarily due to higher mortality experience in the first quarter of 2002 and the higher volume of in-force variable annuity business with guaranteed minimum death benefits.

Commissions expense and the deferral of insurance acquisition costs increased in the first three months of 2002, compared with the first three months of 2001, primarily due to an increase in broker/dealer commission expense.



---



Operating expenses increased $1.5 million in the first three months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in salaries and related benefits. 
Income tax expense decreased in the first three months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, primarily due to the lower level of pre-tax income and a decrease in the effective rate for 2002. In compliance with the Internal Revenue Code, we were not allowed to be included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Zurich Holding Company of America ("ZHCA"), an upstream holding company above Kemper Corporation, until 2002. As such, our 2002 GAAP tax rate is no longer based on a separate return filing, but is equal to the ZHCA group rate.

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:

- our 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 maturity securities

We carry our fixed maturity securities investment portfolio, which is considered available for sale, at estimated fair value. The aggregate unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any applicable income tax expense on unrealized appreciation. The aggregate unrealized depreciation on fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2002 was $1.5 million. The aggregate unrealized appreciation on fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2001 was $24.3 million. We do not record tax benefits related to aggregate unrealized depreciation on investments. 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 March 31, 2002, investment-grade fixed maturity securities, cash and short-term investments accounted for 82.2 percent of invested assets and cash, compared with 83.5 percent at December 31, 2001.

At March 31, 2002, approximately 19.0 percent of investment-grade fixed maturity securities were mortgage-backed securities, down from 22.0 percent at December 31, 2001, primarily due to the transfer of assets supporting the FWA to a trust, as previously discussed.



---



Approximately 14.8 percent of the investment-grade fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2002 consisted of corporate asset-backed securities, compared with 15.3 percent at December 31, 2001. The majority of investments in asset-backed securities were backed by commercial mortgage-backed securities, home equity loans, collateralized loan and bond obligations and manufactured housing loans.



Real estate-related investments

The $180.0 million real estate portfolio, consisting of joint venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real estate-related investments, constituted 5.1 percent of cash and invested assets at March 31, 2002, compared with $176.4 million, or 4.6 percent, at December 31, 2001.



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 $97.3 million at March 31, 2002. The MLP's underlying investment primarily consists of a water development project located in California's Sacramento River Valley. On February 15, 2001, the State of California's State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") approved the project's water right permit. The SWRCB issued the permit in July 2001. Additional permits must be obtained before development on this project can proceed. These additional permits are expected to be received during 2002. The final resolution of this permit process will impact the long-term economic viability of the project.

Troubled real estate-related investments consisted of loans on nonaccrual status, before reserves and write-downs, totaling $13.0 million at both March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Loans on nonaccrual status, after reserves and write-downs, amounted to $7.4 million at both March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

Net investment income

Pre-tax net investment income totaled $59.9 million in the first three months of 2002, compared with $62.7 million in the first three months of 2001. This includes our share of operating gains and losses from equity investments in real estate consisting of other income less other expenses.







---

Total foregone investment income before tax on both nonaccrual real estate-related investments and nonperforming fixed maturity securities was as follows:

|Real estate-related investments
Fixed maturities 
Total | $  .3
     .3
   ------
  $  .6
   ======               



Foregone investment income is primarily due to certain real estate-related investments that have been placed on nonaccrual status and bonds that are in default. Any increase in nonperforming securities and either worsening or stagnant real estate conditions, would increase the expected adverse effect on future investment income and realized investment results.

Interest rates

In the first three months of 2002, the Federal Open Market Committee met two times but left interest rates unchanged. 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 policyholders' account balances. In addition, regulatory authorities establish minimum liquidity and capital standards. The major ongoing sources of liquidity are deposits for fixed annuities, premium income, investment income, separate account fees, other operating revenue and cash provided from maturing or sold investments.

Ratings

Our Standard & Poor's ("S&P") rating was coupled with ZFS through December 31, 2001 due to the financial strength of ZFS and Zurich Life and the designation of Zurich Life as one of ZFS's core businesses. In September 2001, S&P announced that it was downgrading several insurance groups based on the potential catastrophic losses from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States of America, and the subsequent fall in the equity markets. At that time, ZFS was placed on CreditWatch with negative implications and its rating, and therefore ours, was downgraded from "AA+" to "AA", S&P's third highest rating. In February of 2002, ZFS received another downgrade to "AA-" and remained on CreditWatch with negative implications. During 2001, ZFS considered the divestiture of Zurich Life. Although ZFS made the decision to retain Zurich Life in December 2001, S&P decided to uncouple Zurich Life's ratings from ZFS in March 2002, primarily due to ZFS's consideration of the Zurich Life divestiture and we received a rating of "A+", reflecting the non-supported strength of Zurich Life and we were taken off CreditWatch.

We share our A.M. Best rating with ZFS. In the fall of 2001, A.M. Best placed ZFS under review with developing implications but did not change its ratings. In March 2002, ZFS's A.M. Best A+ (Superior) financial strength rating was affirmed, removed from under review and assigned a negative outlook. Our non-supported Moody's Investors Service rating remains at Aa3, its fourth highest rating. In March 2002, Moody's Investors Service placed our rating under review for possible downgrade.

Our ratings as of March 31, 2002 are as follows:

Ratings

A.M. Best Company . . . . . . . . . . . A+ (Superior)

Moody's Investors Service . . . . . . . Aa3 (Excellent)

Standard & Poor's . . . . . . . . . . . A+ (Strong)
