The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 3 SEPARATE ACCOUNT 1 OF WASHINGTON NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005 ================================================================================ (1) GENERAL The Separate Account 1 of Washington National Insurance Company (the "Account") was established in 1982 as a segregated investment account for individual annuity contracts which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Act") as a unit investment trust. The Account was originally registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified open-end management investment company under the Act. Effective July 1, 1996, the Account was restructured into a single unit investment trust which invests solely in shares of the portfolios of Scudder Variable Series I and II (the "Fund"), a diversified open-end management investment company. The investment options available are the Bond, Capital Growth, Growth and Income and Money Market portfolios of the Fund. The operations of the Account are included in the operations of Washington National Insurance Company (the "Company") pursuant to the provisions of the Illinois Insurance Code. The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Conseco"). Conseco is a publicly held specialized financial services holding company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVESTMENT VALUATION, TRANSACTIONS, AND INCOME Investments in portfolio shares are valued using the net asset value of the respective portfolios of the Scudder Variable Series Fund I at the end of each New York Stock Exchange business day. Investment share transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis (the date the order to purchase or redeem shares is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments in portfolio shares sold is determined on a first-in first-out basis. The Account does not hold any investments which are restricted as to resale. Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments are allocated to the contracts on each valuation date based on each contract's pro rata share of the assets of the Account as of the beginning of the valuation date. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements because the operations of the Account are included in the total operations of the Company, which is treated as a life insurance company for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code. Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) are retained in the Account and are not taxable until received by the contract owner or beneficiary in the form of annuity payments or other distributions. ANNUITY RESERVES Deferred annuity contract reserves are comprised of net contract purchase payments less redemptions and benefits. These reserves are adjusted daily for the net investment income and net realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. (3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SHARES The aggregate cost of purchases of investments in portfolio shares for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $529,897 (Bond - $235,159; Capital Growth - $251,835; Growth and Income - $16,479; Money Market - $26,424) and $967,815 (Bond - $172,635; Capital Growth - $769,929; Growth and Income - $22,188; Money Market - $3,063), respectively. The aggregate proceeds from sales of investments in portfolio shares for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $2,533,266 (Bond - $571,351; Capital Growth - $1,811,477; Growth and Income - $124,485; Money Market - $25,953) and $4,137,897 (Bond - $551,849; Capital Growth - $3,071,641; Growth and Income - $258,680; Money Market - $255,727), respectively. (4) DEDUCTIONS AND EXPENSES Although periodic retirement payments to contract owners vary according to the investment performance of the portfolios, such payments are not affected by expense or mortality experience because the Company assumes the mortality risk and the expense risk under the contracts. The mortality risk assumed by the Company results from the life annuity payment option in the contracts in which the Company agrees to make annuity payments regardless of how long a particular annuitant or other payee lives. The annuity payments are determined in accordance with annuity purchase rate provisions established at the time the contracts are issued. Based on the actuarial determination of expected mortality, the Company is required to fund any deficiency in the annuity payment reserves from its general account assets. The expense risk assumed by the Company is the risk that the deductions for financial accounting services may prove insufficient to cover the actual expenses. The Company deducts daily from the Account an annuity rate guarantee charge, which is equal on an annual basis to 0.80 percent of the daily value of the total investments of the Fund, for assuming the mortality and expense risks. These fees totaled $127,579 and $136,027 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company deducts daily from the Account a financial accounting charge, which is equal on an annual basis to 0.35 percent of the daily value of the total investments of the Fund, for assuming the expense risk. These fees are included in the mortality and expense risk fees in the Statement of Operations. These fees totaled $55,816 and $59,512 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. An annual contract administrative charge of $30 is deducted from the accumulated value of each contract on the contract anniversary or on the date of surrender if it occurs between contract anniversaries. This fee does not apply to contracts for individual retirement accounts, or to contracts which at the end of any contract anniver- 4 SEPARATE ACCOUNT 1 OF WASHINGTON NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED ================================================================================ sary have received at least $1,200 of payments and in which the accumulated value is at least $20,000. These fees are included in the contract redemptions in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. These fees were $3,168 and $3,391 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company deducts a contingent deferred sales charge of 6 percent on any amounts withdrawn which are in excess of 10 percent of the contract's accumulated value on the date of the first withdrawal during the respective year, except that no such charge is made for withdrawals of purchase payments received 72 months prior to the date of withdrawal and no such charge is made if the withdrawal amount is applied to a settlement option after the contract has been in force for five years or if the contract contains life contingencies. These fees were $12,186 and $9,503 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These fees are recorded as redemptions in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets. (5) FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The total return is defined as the percentage change of unit values from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. The investment income ratio is the ratio of income (including short-term capital gains from investments and dividends in portfolio shares) to the average daily net assets.

(1) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. (2) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of long term capital gains, received by the Account from the Fund, net of management fees assessed by the Fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Fund in which the Account invests. (3) These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the variable account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges for each period indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded. 5 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ================================================================================ TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WASHINGTON NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY AND CONTRACT OWNERS OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT 1 OF WASHINGTON NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Separate Account 1 of Washington National Insurance Company (the "Account") at December 31, 2006, the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Account's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
