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



1.

Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company is incorporated under the insurance laws of the State of Illinois and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York. Zurich Life Insurance Company of New York, formally Zurich Kemper Life Insurance Company of New York, a wholly-owned subsidiary, received its license from the State of New York early in 2001 and began writing business in May of 2001.  Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, "KILICO" or "the Company"), are wholly-owned by Kemper Corporation ("Kemper"), a non-operating holding company.  Beginning in 2002, the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Zurich Holding Company of America ("ZHCA"), an upstream holding company above Kemper Corporation.



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 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





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").



Prior to 2002, the Company had managed its operations along Strategic Business Units (SBUs). Each SBU concentrated on specific distribution channels. However, the SBUs were 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 and/or more than one distribution channel.



Recently, management has shifted its financial focus from SBU performance to a line of business performance within each legal entity. The SBUs are now primarily responsible for market management activities, including distribution management, product development, sales and marketing.



The Company has two primary operating segments, life insurance and annuities, that offer different types of products and services.  These two operating segments reflect the way the Company manages its operations and makes business decisions.



In the following table, the Company uses the caption net operating income as an operating measure of segment performance. Net operating income is calculated by deducting net realized investment gains or losses, net of related income taxes, and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of tax, from net income. Net realized investment gains or losses are excluded from net operating income because they can, in part, be discretionary and are not indicative of operational trends.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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.



In conjunction with managements focus on line of business operations, the Companys goodwill was tested for impairment at the life insurance and annuities operating segment level based on the guidance under SFAS 142. As a result of the testing performed an impairment of $21.9 million was recorded in the annuities segment as of June 30, 2002.  The fair value of that segment was estimated using expected present value of future cash flows for both current business in-force and future production estimates.



In September 2002, the board of directors of the Companys indirect, 100% shareholder, Zurich Financial Services Group (the Group), approved a plan designed to improve the profitability of the Group and its subsidiaries.  Under this plan, the Group is considering a number of strategic options, the completion of which could have a significant impact on the recoverability of the carrying value of certain assets.  Among the assets affected by the approval of the plan is the goodwill associated with the acquisition of the ZL companies.  The Company filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002 prior to the Group boards action.  As a result, the Company recorded the complete write-down of the remaining goodwill of $156.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, the period during which the Company became aware of this action by the Groups board of directors.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146(SFAS 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Action (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). Adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have any impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

The realized results include $21.7 million of net gains from securities sold during the period.  The $12.7 million of writedowns are primarily related to our securitized financial assets, namely collateralized debt obligations and are due to a change in our future expectation of cash flows from these securities.



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.

As previously discussed in the footnotes, in conjunction with managements focus on line of business operations, the Companys goodwill was tested for impairment at the life insurance and annuities operating segment level based on the guidance under SFAS 142. As a result of the testing performed an impairment of $21.9 million was recorded in the annuities segment as of June 30, 2002.  The fair value of that segment was estimated using expected present value of future cash flows for both current business in-force and future production estimates.  In September 2002, the board of directors of the Companys indirect, 100% shareholder, Zurich Financial Services Group (the Group), approved a plan designed to improve the profitability of the Group and its subsidiaries.  Under this plan, the Group is considering a number of strategic options, the completion of which could have a significant impact on the recoverability of the carrying value of certain assets.  Among the assets affected by the approval of the plan is the goodwill associated with the acquisition of the ZL companies.  The Company filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002 prior to the Group boards action.  As a result, the Company recorded the complete write-down of the remaining goodwill of $156.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, the period during which the Company became aware of this action by the Groups board of directors.

Operating earnings before goodwill impairment and amortization of goodwill and other intangibles resulted in a loss of $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared with an operating gain of $10.7 million in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease was primarily due to:





*

a decrease in spread revenue (net investment income less interest credited to policyholders)



*

an increase in claims incurred and other policyholder benefits, primarily due to an increase in variable annuity guaranteed benefits and related reserves resulting from the continued decline in the stock market



*

an increase in commissions and operating expenses, net of the deferral of insurance acquisition costs, partially offset by



*

an increase in separate account fees and charges



*

an increase in other income



*

a decrease in the amortization of deferred insurance acquisition costs and value of business acquired, 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, decreased $781.6 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the first nine months of 2001. The decrease is primarily due to lower sales of our DESTINATIONSSM product. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we discontinued offering the guaranteed retirement income benefit (GRIB) option with the DESTINATIONSSM product due to the continued decline in the stock market. While we continue to receive renewal premiums and Section 1035 premium (tax-free exchange of certain insurance policies) in 2002, sales of the DESTINATIONSSM product are substantially lower in 2002 because of this decision.



The GRIB is an optional benefit available for an additional asset-based fee. It provides a minimum fixed annuity guaranteed lifetime income to the annuitant.  The income is based on the GRIB Base. The GRIB Base prior to attained age 80 and after the surrender charge period is the greatest of:



*

the contract value (account value)



*

the greatest anniversary value before the exercise (annuitization) date, or



*

purchase payments minus previous withdrawals, accumulated at 5 percent interest per year to the annuitization date.

Fixed annuity deposits increased $46.5 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the first nine months of 2001, as certain investors sought more stable returns during a time of volatile equity markets.



Due to the nature of the BOLI product - high dollar volume per sale, low frequency of sales, the level of BOLI sales can fluctuate, sometimes significantly, between periods.  Continued maturation of the BOLI market and company ratings can also effect the level of BOLI sales.

Total assets under management decreased $458.7 million from December 31, 2001, to September 30, 2002, reflecting the decline in equity markets and the invested asset transfer discussed below. The level of policyholder surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits also directly impacts the level of assets under management from year to year.

Spread revenue decreased in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, due to a decrease in investment income, slightly offset by a decrease in interest credited to policyholders. The decrease in investment income was primarily due to a declining general account invested asset base, excluding unrealized gains and losses, 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. The trust account is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements but is included in ZICBBs financial statements.



The decrease in interest credited in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, was due to lower average interest crediting rates, somewhat offset by higher average policyholder account balances.

(1) Includes $.7 million and $10.3 million of cost of insurance charges               
    ceded, related to appreciation of the BOLI funds withheld account for the 
    nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



(2) There is a corresponding offset in taxes, licenses and fees.



Separate account fees on non-BOLI variable life and annuities increased in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the first nine 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.   
Net BOLI cost of insurance charges and fees increased $10.1 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with 2001.  The increase is primarily  related to the transfer of the assets supporting the FWA to a trust, as previously discussed.  Prior to the transfer, we ceded additional cost of insurance charges due to appreciation of the FWA.   
Other income increased $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commission revenue from broker-dealer operations and an increase in surrender charges.  The increase in broker-dealer commission revenue was substantially 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. Spread revenue can also improve over time by increasing investment income.

General account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits decreased $7.1 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the first nine months of 2001 as equity markets remained volatile.

Separate account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits increased $62.6 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the first nine months of 2001 as investors sought more stable returns during a period of stock market volatility.

Claims incurred and other policyholder benefits increased $40.2 million for the period ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001.  The increase is partly due to an increase in reserves for the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001. For policies that were deemed to have elected annuitization, GRIB reserves have been established to cover the present value of future benefits. A further decline in the stock market would have the impact of increasing the reserves.

Pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, no additional liabilities for future policy benefits related to guaranteed living benefits have been established.  Had such reserves been established for living benefits based on estimates of such activity, the reserve at year-end 2001 would have been $7.8 million higher, and at September 30, 2002, would have been approximately $15.0 million higher.

The increase in claims incurred and other policyholder benefits is also due to higher mortality experience in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, and higher guaranteed minimum death benefits   due to increasing variable annuity business in-force and a lower stock market.  We reserve for death benefit guarantees in our variable annuities.  A further decline in the stock market would have the impact of increasing the reserves.

Commissions and operating expenses, net of the deferral of insurance acquisition costs, increased in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the first nine months of 2001. The increase is primarily due to an increase in broker-dealer commission expense, as mentioned earlier.





17

The decrease in the amortization of deferred insurance acquisition costs and value of business acquired is primarily due to higher estimated future profits that have the effect of deferring amortization to future periods.  The higher estimated future profits are based, in part, on a lower interest rate environment that would increase realized capital gains as assets are sold in the future as well as expected future profitability of new business written in the past 12 months.  Also contributing to the decrease in amortization is the increase in variable annuity benefit reserves.  The increase in these reserves lowers current profits which has the effect of lowering current amortization.

Income tax expense decreased in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, primarily due to the net operating loss incurred as of September 30, 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. However, our 2002 GAAP tax rate is still based on a separate company filing with any difference between that rate and the allocated ZHCA group rate treated as a contribution to capital.

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").

As discussed in the footnotes, prior to 2002, the Company had managed its operations along Strategic Business Units (SBUs). Each SBU concentrated on specific distribution channels. However, the SBUs were 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 and/or more than one distribution channel.



Recently, management has shifted its financial focus from SBU performance to a line of business performance within each legal entity. The SBUs are now primarily responsible for market management, including distribution management, product development, sales and marketing.



The Company has two primary operating segments, life insurance and annuities, that offer different types of products and services.  These two operating segments reflect the way the Company manages its operations and makes business decisions.

In the following table, the Company uses the caption net operating income as an operating measure of segment performance. Net operating income is calculated by deducting net realized investment gains or losses, net of related income taxes, and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of tax, from net income. Net realized investment gains or losses are excluded from net operating income because they can, in part, be discretionary and are not indicative of operational trends.



Prior period information has been restated to conform to the new composition of the Companys segments.

Total operating revenues for the life insurance segment decreased $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decrease in investment income, offset by an increase in separate account fees and charges.  The decrease is mainly due to a lower invested asset base, as previously discussed.  The increase in separate account fees and charges is primarily due to the fact that in 2002 we no longer cede additional cost of insurance charges for the appreciation of the FWA, as previously discussed.

Total operating revenues for the annuities segment increased $16.5 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in separate account fees, as previously discussed.

Net operating income, before goodwill impairment and cumulative effect of an accounting change, for the life insurance segment increased $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to lower expenses.

Net operating income, before goodwill impairment and cumulative effect of an accounting change, for the annuities segment decreased $8.1 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily due to the increase in variable annuity guaranteed benefits and related reserves, as previously mentioned.

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 appreciation on fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2002 was $73.6 million. The aggregate unrealized appreciation on fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2001 was $24.3 million. 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 September 30, 2002, investment-grade fixed maturity securities, cash and short-term investments accounted for 84.0 percent of invested assets and cash, compared with 83.5 percent at December 31, 2001.



At September 30, 2002, approximately 14.0 percent of investment-grade fixed maturity securities were mortgage-backed securities, down from 22.0 percent at December 31, 2001, primarily due to significant sales of mortgage-backed securities in the first nine months of 2002.



Approximately 15.6 percent of the investment-grade fixed maturity securities at September 30, 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 mortgages, home equity loans, collateralized loan and bond obligations and manufactured housing loans.





Real estate-related investments



The $180.6 million real estate portfolio, consisting of joint venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real estate-related investments, constituted 4.7 percent of cash and invested assets at September 30, 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 Corporation and subsidiaries of Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company, a former affiliate, amounted to $102.2 million at September 30, 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. Additionally, the Army Corps of Engineers issued required permits on 
June 26, 2002.  Various local permits are/may be required in addition to the state and federal permits.  This venture contains uncertainty due to the difficulty of completing water projects in California.





















21









Troubled real estate-related investments consisted of loans on nonaccrual status, before reserves and write-downs, totaling $10.6 million at September 30, 2002 and $13.0 million at December 31, 2001. Loans on nonaccrual status, after reserves and write-downs, amounted to $5.0 million at September 30, 2002 and $7.4 million at December 31, 2001.







Net investment income



Pre-tax net investment income totaled $171.4 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared with $186.3 million in the first nine 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 nonaccrual real estate-related investments, nonperforming fixed maturity securities, and certain other invested assets was as follows:

|Real estate-related investments        | $    .7                                              
|Fixed maturities
Other invested assets | 2.2

|Total                                  | $    4.2
   ======                                   



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 nine months of 2002, the Federal Open Market Committee met six times but left interest rates unchanged.  However, overall market interest rates have declined significantly during 2002.  Interest rate fluctuations can cause significant fluctuations in both future investment income and future realized and unrealized investment gains and losses.















22



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.



We also continuously monitor capital resources.  Our adjusted capital and surplus (statutory accounting basis) is compared with required capital under the National Association of Insurance Commissioners risk-based capital (RBC) approach.  During the third quarter of 2002 our RBC ratio declined due to losses on a statutory accounting basis, but does not require any regulatory action.  One source of the decline in the capital ratio has been the requirement to establish additional reserves for guarantees on the DESTINATIONSSM product.  These reserves are driven by the decline in the stock market and additional deposits into existing contracts.  Further market declines will require establishment of additional reserves.  Capital resources are being monitored very closely by the Company and mitigation strategies have been and will be put in place should further market declines continue.







Ratings



Our Standard & Poors (S&P) rating was coupled with Zurich Financial Services  (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. In August 2002, the outlook for ZFS, our parent, was revised from stable to negative and concurrently our A+ rating was placed on a negative outlook.



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 September 2002, A.M. Best announced that it was downgrading ZFS to A (Excellent) from A+ (Superior).  As a result our rating was moved to A (Excellent) as well and remains under review.

In June, 2002, Moodys Investors Service lowered our rating to A2, its sixth highest rating out of nineteen. The rating comes with a stable outlook and is no longer under review.
