This Prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase the
Allocator 2000 variable annuity. Please read it carefully.
The Allocator 2000 variable annuity is a contract between you and Acacia
National Life Insurance Company (ANLIC) where you agree to make payments to us
and we agree to make a series of payments to you at a later date. The Allocator
2000 is a flexible premium, tax-deferred, variable annuity offered to
individuals. It is:
o Flexible, because you may add payments at any time.
o Tax-deferred, which means you don't pay taxes until you take payments out or
until we start to make payments to you.
o Variable, because the value of your annuity will fluctuate with the
performance of the underlying investments.
After purchase, you allocate your payments to "Sub-accounts" or subdivisions of
our Variable Account, an account that keeps that keeps your annuity assets
separate from our company assets. These Sub-accounts then purchase shares of
mutual funds set up exclusively for variable annuity or variable life insurance
products. These mutual funds are not the same mutual funds that you buy through
your stockbroker or through a retail mutual fund, but they have similar
investment strategies and the same portfolio managers as retail mutual funds.
This annuity offers you funds with investment strategies ranging from
conservative to aggressive and you may pick those funds that meet your
investment style. The Sub-accounts and the funds are listed below:
o Large Cap Sub-account which purchases shares of Alger American Growth

Portfolio

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT YOUR POLICY
The following summary is intended to highlight the most important features of an
Allocator 2000 Annuity that you, should consider. You will find more detailed
information in the main portion of the prospectus. As you review this Summary,
take note that the capitalized terms are defined in the Glossary of Defined
Terms that begins on page iv of this prospectus. This summary and all other
parts of this prospectus are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the
Allocator 2000 Annuity Policy, which is available upon request from ANLIC.
WHO IS THE ISSUER OF AN ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY?
ANLIC is the issuer of each Allocator 2000 Annuity. ANLIC enjoys a rating of A
(Excellent) from A.M. Best Company, a firm that analyzes insurance carriers. A
stock life insurance company organized in Virginia, ANLIC is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Acacia Life Insurance Company which is, in turn, a second tier
subsidiary of Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company. (See the section on Acacia
National Life Insurance Company.)
HOW DO I PURCHASE THE ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY?
You must complete our application form and submit it to us for approval with
your first Premium Payment. Acceptance is subject to our rules, and we reserve
the right to reject any application or Premium Payment. The Policy can be
purchased with a minimum Premium Payment of $300 the first year. Additional
Premium Payments must be at least $30.00. If you wish to make automatic monthly
payments into your annuity, you may enroll in our pre-authorized checking
account program (CAM). Under this program, monthly Premium Payments will be
deducted from your checking account.
After you've purchased the Policy, you have a right to a "free look" which gives
you 10 days to change your mind without the imposition of a Surrender Charge. If
you decide you don't want the policy, we will void the policy and refund the
Policy Account Value (or the Premium Payments made to that point where required
by state law).
WHAT IS AN INDIVIDUAL FLEXIBLE PREMIUM DEFERRED VARIABLE ANNUITY POLICY?
The Policy is an individual flexible premium deferred variable annuity. It is
designed for tax-deferred retirement investing by individuals. The Policy is
available for both qualified and non-qualified retirement plans. As a deferred
annuity it has two time periods, the Accumulation Period and the time period
after the Maturity Date. During the Accumulation Period earnings accumulate on a
tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when withdrawn. During the time
period after the Maturity Date and during the lifetime of the Annuitant, you
receive payments under the Annuity Payment Option selected.
Your Policy is "variable" because the Policy Account Value is not guaranteed.
The Policy Account Value will vary with your investment experience. The Policy
Account Value on the Maturity Date along with the payment option chosen will be
used to determine the amount of your annuity payments.
HOW WILL MY POLICY ACCOUNT VALUE BE DETERMINED?
Your Premium Payments are invested in one or more of the Sub-accounts of the
Variable Account or allocated to the Fixed Account, as you instruct us. Your
Policy Account Value is the sum of the values of your interests in the
Sub-accounts of the Variable Account, plus the value in the Fixed Account. Your
Policy Account Value will depend on the investment performance of the
Sub-accounts, and the amount of interest we credit to the Fixed Account, as well
as the Net Premium Payments, partial withdrawals, and charges assessed. Each
Sub-account will invest in a single investment portfolio of a mutual fund. These
Portfolios offer a wide range of investment options from conservative to
aggressive and from Government Bond to international. You bear the entire
investment risk on your Variable Account Value. The investment strategies and
risks of each Portfolio are described in the accompanying prospectuses for the
Portfolios.
WHAT ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS DOES THE CONTRACT OFFER?
You have the right to elect or change any of the Annuity Payment Options listed
below, any time before the Maturity Date, or elect to receive a lump sum:
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
1
<PAGE>
Interest for Life. We will pay interest on the amount retained for the
lifetime of the Annuitant. At the Annuitant's death, we will pay the
principal amount to the Beneficiary or as otherwise agreed.
Interest for a Fixed Period. We will pay interest on the retained amount for
a fixed period of not more than 30 years. At the end of the period we will
pay the principal amount to you or as otherwise agreed.
Payments for a Fixed Period. We will pay the amount retained, with interest,
in equal monthly payments for a period of not more than 30 years. The amount
of each payment will be based on a payment schedule set forth in the Policy.
Payments of a Fixed Amount. We will pay the amount retained, with interest,
in equal payments, until the amount retained has been paid in full. The
total payments in any year must be at least 5% of the amount retained.
Life Income. We will pay the amount retained in monthly installments,
adjusted to reflect the crediting of interest as set forth in the Policy,
for the guaranteed period elected and continuing during the lifetime of a
person you designate. You may elect to have no guaranteed period or a
guaranteed period f 5, 10, or 25 years, or the period n which the total
payments would equal the amount retained (an installment refund). If no
guaranteed period is elected, only one payment will be made if the Annuitant
dies before the second payment is made, only two payments will be made if
the Annuitant dies before the third payment is made, and so on.
You may select the date to annuitize the Policy. A Maturity Date may be the
first day of any calender month. However, you must begin to take payments by the
first full calendar month after the Annuitant's 90th birthday. If you fail to
give us a Maturity Date, we will assume a Maturity Date of the first day of the
calendar month of the Annuitant's 90th birthday.
WHAT ARE MY CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS UNDER THE POLICY?
ANNUAL POLICY FEE. On each Policy Anniversary, we will deduct an annual Policy
Fee of $42.00 which partially compensates us for the costs of maintaining the
Policy. This charge is waived if the Policy Account Value exceeds $50,000 at the
time the Annual Policy Fee would be imposed. (See the section on Annual Policy
Fee.)
ANLIC will deduct a daily Administrative Expense Charge from the value of the
net assets of the Variable Account. This charge will not exceed 0.10% annually.
No Administrative Expense Charge is deducted from the amount in the Fixed
Account. (See the section on Administrative Expense Charge.)
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. ANLIC will deduct a daily Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge from the value of the net assets of the Variable Account.
For the first 15 years of your Policy, this charge is at the rate of 1.25%
annually. Beginning in the 16th Policy year, this charge is reduced by 0.05%
annually until it reaches 0.50% annually in Policy year 30; the rate remains
level thereafter. No Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be deducted from the
amount in the Fixed Account.
SURRENDER CHARGE. The Surrender Charges will vary depending upon the number of
Policy Anniversaries that have passed since the Receipt of Premium Payments.
(See the section on Surrender Charge.)

PREMIUM TAXES. We will deduct a charge for premium taxes, if any, when incurred.
Depending on state and local law, premium taxes can be incurred when a Premium
Payment is accepted, when Policy Account Value is withdrawn or surrendered or
when annuity payments start.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE. Policy Owners who choose to allocate Net Premiums to
one or more of the Sub-accounts will also bear a pro rata share of the
Investment advisory fee paid by each of the investment portfolios in which the
various Sub-accounts invest. No such fees are assessed against amounts in the
Fixed Account. (See the section on Fund Expenses.)
HOW DOES THE INVESTMENT COMPONENT OF MY ALLOCATOR 2000 POLICY WORK?
ANLIC has established the Variable Account, which is separate from all other
assets of ANLIC, as a vehicle to receive and invest premiums received from
Allocator 2000. The Variable Account is divided into separate Sub-accounts. Each
Sub-account invests exclusively in shares of one of the investment portfolios
available through Allocator 2000. In the initial application Each Policy Owner
may allocate Net Premiums to one or ore Investment Options. In the initial
application. These allocations may be changed, without charge, by notifying
ANLIC's Service Office. The aggregate value of your interests in the
Sub-accounts and the Fixed Account will represent the Policy Account Value of
your Allocator 2000 Policy. (See the section on Policy Account Value.)
WHAT INVESTMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE ALLOCATOR 2000 POLICY?
The Investment Options available through Allocator 2000 include 25 investment
portfolios, each of which is a separate series of a mutual fund from: The Alger
American Fund; Calvert Variable Series, Inc.; BT Insurance Funds Trust; Variable

Yes. Over the life of your Allocator 2000 Policy, the Sub-accounts to which you
allocate your premiums will
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY

<PAGE>
fluctuate with changes in the stock market and overall economic factors. These
fluctuations will be reflected in the Variable Account Value of your Allocator
2000 Policy and may result in loss of principal. For this reason, the purchase
of an Allocator 2000 Policy may not be suitable for all individuals. It may not
be advantageous to purchase an Allocator 2000 Policy for retirement or other
long-term capital accumulation purposes.
WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE POLICY ?
The Policy provides a Death Benefit if you (Owner) or a Joint Owner dies before

not to be less than the greater of the Policy Account Value or the cumulative
premium payments you have made less the cumulative withdrawals you have taken.
In addition, up to Owner age 75 we guarantee that the Death Benefit will not be
less than the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit which is described later in this
prospectus. (See the section on Death Benefit.)

1/ The figures are based on expenses for fiscal year 1998, and have been
restated to reflect the elimination of the performance adjustment in CVS
Balanced and Mid Cap Portfolios. The restatement includes the addition of
0.01% to both portfolios.
2/ Total expenses are presented net of expense waivers and reimbursements. For
the CVS International Equity Portfolio, total expenses are 1.65% and expenses
reimbursed 0.15% therefore gross expenses are 1.80%. There were no expense
waivers or reimbursements in any other CVS Portfolios.
"Other Expenses" reflect an indirect fee. Net fund operating expenses after
reductions for fees paid indirectly (again restated for CVS Balanced and Mid
Cap) would be 0.86% for CVS Balanced, 1.01% for CVS Mid Cap, 0.63% for CVS Money
Market, 1.56% for CVS International Equity and 1.12% for CVS Small Cap.

distributions declared by the Portfolio.
The Variable Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Registration with

American Fund.
The Alger American Growth Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital

These Portfolios seek to achieve competitive returns while encouraging
responsible corporate conduct. The Portfolios look for enterprises that make a
significant contribution to society through their products and the way they do
business. Each proposed portfolio investment that is deemed financially viable
is then screened according to the stated social criteria of the particular
Portfolio. Investments must, in the judgment of the investment adviser, be
consistent with these criteria. It should be noted that the Portfolios' social
criteria tend to limit the availability of investment opportunities more than is
customary with other investment portfolios. (See the individual Portfolio
Prospectuses for a complete description of each social screen).
The Calvert Social Money Market Portfolio ("CS Money Market") seeks to
provide the highest level of current income, consistent with liquidity, safety
and security of capital, by investing in money market instruments, including
repurchase agreements with recognized securities dealers and banks secured by
such instruments,

Money Market attempts to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will maintain a constant net asset
value of $1.00 per share. An investment in the Portfolio is neither insured nor
guaranteed by the United States government.
Calvert Social Small Cap Growth ("CS Small Cap") seeks, with a concern for
social impact to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily
in the equity securities of small companies publicly traded in the United
States. In seeking capital appreciation, the Portfolio invests primarily in
equity securities of small capitalized growth companies that have historically
exhibited exceptional growth characteristics and that in the advisor's opinion,
have strong earnings potential relative to the U.S. market as a whole.
CS Small Cap may invest up to 35% of its assets in debt securities,
excluding money market instruments. These debt securities may consist of
investment-grade obligations and junk bonds. (See "The Portfolios Risks
Attendant to Investments in Junk Bonds.")
Calvert Social Mid Cap Growth ("CS Mid Cap") seeks to provide long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in a nondiversified portfolio of the
equity securities of small- to mid-sized companies that are undervalued but
demonstrate a potential for growth.
CS Mid Cap may also invest in debt securities and may invest up to 5% of its
assets in non-investment grade securities (See "The Portfolios - Risks Attendant
to Investments in Junk Bonds.") and up to 25% of its assets in foreign
securities. (See "The Portfolios - Risks Attendant to Investments in Foreign
Securities.").
Calvert Social International Equity Portfolio ("CS International") seeks to
provide a high return consistent with reasonable risk by investing primarily in
a globally diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Portfolio seeks total
return through a globally diversified investment portfolio.
Under normal circumstances, CS International will invest at least 65% of its
assets in the securities of issuers in no less than three countries, other than
the United States (See "The Portfolios - Risks Attendant to Investments in
Foreign Securities.") As an operating policy, the portfolio will limit its
investment in securities of U.S. issuers to 5% of its net assets. CS

of its assets in non-investment grade bonds. (See "The Portfolios Risks
Attendant to Investments in Junk Bonds.")

return above the rate of inflation through an actively managed portfolio of
stocks, bonds and money market instruments (including repurchase agreements
secured by such instruments) selected with a concern for the investment and
social impact of each investment.

obligations ("junk bonds"). (See "The Portfolios - Risks Attendant to
Investments in Junk Bonds.")

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
The Variable Account has three Sub-Accounts that invest exclusively in
shares of Portfolios of the Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust ("AMT").
The Limited Maturity Bond, Income and Growth, and Partners Sub-accounts of the
Variable Account invest in shares of the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, Growth
Portfolio, and Partners Portfolio, respectively, of AMT.
The Neuberger Berman Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio. The investment
objective of the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio is to provide the highest
current income consistent with low risk to principal and liquidity; and
secondarily, total return. Neuberger Berman Limited Maturity Bond invests in a
diversified portfolio of fixed and variable rate debt securities and seeks to
increase income and preserve or enhance total return by actively managing
average portfolio maturity in light of market conditions and trends.
The Neuberger Berman Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio invests in a
diversified portfolio of short-to-intermediate-term U.S. Government and Agency
securities and debt securities issued by financial institutions, corporations,
and others, of at least investment grade. These securities include
mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, repurchase agreements with respect
to U.S. Government and Agency securities, and foreign investments. The Neuberger
Berman Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio may invest up to 5% of its net assets in
municipal securities when the portfolio manager believes such securities may
outperform other available issues. The Portfolio may purchase and sell covered
call and put options, interest-rate futures contracts, and options on those
futures contracts, and may engage in lending portfolio securities. The
Portfolio's dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity may range up to five
years.
The Neuberger Berman Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation, without
regard to income. The Neuberger Berman Growth Portfolio invests in securities
believed to have the maximum potential for long-term capital appreciation. It
does not seek to invest in securities that pay dividends or interest, and any
such income is incidental. The Portfolio expects to be almost fully invested in
common stocks, often of companies that may be temporarily out of favor in the
market. The Portfolios' aggressive growth investment program involves greater
risks and share price volatility than programs that invest in more conservative
securities. Moreover, the Portfolio does not follow a policy of active trading
for short-term profits. Accordingly, the Portfolio may be more appropriate for
investors with a longer-range perspective. While the Portfolio uses the AMT
value-oriented investment approach, when the portfolio manager believes that
particular securities have greater potential for long-term capital appreciation,
the Portfolio may purchase such securities at prices with higher multiples to
measures of economic value (such as earnings). In addition, the Portfolio
focuses on companies with strong balance sheets and reasonable valuations
relative to their growth rates. It also diversifies its investments into many
companies and industries.
The Neuberger Berman Partners Portfolio seeks capital growth. Principal
series investments are common stock of mid- to large-cap companies.
The investment adviser for the Limited Maturity Bond, Growth and Partners
Portfolios of AMT is Neuberger Berman Management Incorporated ("NB Management").
NB Management retains Neuberger Berman, L.P., without cost to AMT, as subadviser
to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information. NB

OPPENHEIMER VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUNDS
The Variable Account has five Sub-accounts that invest exclusively in shares
of Portfolios of the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (the "Oppenheimer
Funds"). The Aggressive Growth, Capital Appreciation, Growth & Income, High
Income, and Strategic Bond Income Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account invest in
shares of the Aggressive Growth Fund/VA, Capital Appreciation Fund/VA, Main
Street Growth & Income Fund/VA, High Income Fund/VA and Strategic Bond Fund/VA
respectively, of the Oppenheimer Funds.
The Oppenheimer Funds are managed by Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. ("the
Manager"), which is responsible for selecting the Oppenheimer Funds' investments
and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
15
<PAGE>
duties, subject to the policies established by the Board of Trustees, under
investment advisory agreements for each Oppenheimer Fund which state the
Manager's responsibilities.
Oppenheimer Aggressive Growth Fund/VA ("Aggressive Growth Fund") seeks to
achieve capital appreciation by investing in "growth-type" companies. Such
companies are believed to have relatively favorable long-term prospects for
increasing demand for their goods or services, or to be developing new products,
services or markets, and normally retain a relatively larger portion of their
earnings for research, development and investment in capital assets.
Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA ("Capital Appreciation Fund") seeks
to achieve capital appreciation by investing insecurities of well-known
established companies. Such securities generally have a history of earnings and
dividends and are issued by seasoned companies.
Oppenheimer Main Street Growth & Income Fund/VA ("Growth & Income Fund")
seeks a high total return (which includes growth in the value of its shares as
well as current income) from equity and debt securities. Its equity investments
will include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and
warrants. Its debt securities will include bonds, participation interests,
asset-backed securities, private-label mortgage-backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations, zero coupon securities and U.S.
obligations. From time to time Growth & Income Fund may focus on small to medium
capitalization issuers, the securities of which may be subject to greater price
volatility than those of larger capitalized issuers.
The composition of Growth & Income Fund's Portfolio among equity and
fixed-income investments will vary from time to time based upon the Manager's
evaluation of economic and market trends and perceived relative total
anticipated return from such types of investments. Accordingly, there is neither
a minimum nor a maximum percentage of Growth & Income Fund's Assets that may, at
any given time, be invested in either type of investment.
Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA ("High Income Fund") seeks a high level of
current income from investment in high yield fixed-income securities (including
long-term debt and preferred stock issues, including convertible securities).
High Income Fund's investment policy is to assume certain risks in seeking high
yield including securities in the lower rating categories, commonly known as
"junk bonds", which are subject to a greater risk of loss of principal and
nonpayment of interest than higher rated securities. These securities may be
considered to be speculative. (See "The Portfolios - Risks Attendant to
Investments in Junk Bonds.")
Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund ("Strategic Bond Fund') seeks a high level
of current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high
yield fixed-income securities. Such income is principally derived from interest
on debt securities and the Fund seeks to enhance such income by writing covered
call options on debt securities. The Fund intends to invest principally in (I)
foreign government and corporate debt securities (ii) U.S. Government
securities, and (iii) lower-rated high yield domestic debt securities, commonly
known as "junk bonds", which are subject to a greater risk of loss of principal
and nonpayment of interest than higher-rated securities. These securities may be
considered to be speculative. (See "The Portfolios - Risks Attendant to
Investments in Junk Bonds.") Under normal circumstances, the Fund's assets will
be invested in each of these three sectors. However, Strategic Bond Fund may
from time to time invest up to 100% of its total assets in any one sector if, in
the judgment of the Manager, the Fund has the opportunity of seeking a high
level of current income without undue risk to principal.
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST
The Variable Account has two Sub-accounts that invest exclusively in shares
of Portfolios of the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
("FTVIP" or "Templeton Portfolios"). The Asset Strategy and International
Securities Sub-accounts invest in shares of the Templeton Asset Strategy Fund -
Class 2 and Templeton International Securities Fund - Class 2 Portfolios,
respectively, of FTVIP.
Templeton Asset Strategy - Class 2 has the investment objective of high
total return. The fund will invest in equity securities of companies of any
nation, debt securities of companies and governments of any nation, and in money
market instruments.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY

Templeton International Securities - Class 2 has the investment objective of
long-term capital growth. The fund will invest in the equity securities of
companies located outside the U. S., including emerging markets.
The investment adviser for the Templeton Portfolios is Templeton Investment
Counsel, Inc.
VAN ECK WORLDWIDE INSURANCE TRUST
The Hard Assets Sub-account of the Variable Account invests exclusively in
shares of the Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Fund.
Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing globally, primarily in "hard asset" securities. Income is a secondary
consideration. The Worldwide Hard Assets Fund will invest at least 65% of its
assets in "hard asset securities," defined as securities of companies that
derive at least 50% of gross revenue or profit from exploration, development,
production or distribution of precious metals, natural resources, real estate or
commodities. The Fund may concentrate as much as 50% of its assets in any single
"hard asset" sector.
The production and marketing of hard assets may be affected by actions and
changes in government. In addition, hard assets and securities of hard assets
companies may be cyclical in nature. During periods of economic or financial
instability, the securities of some hard assets companies may be subject to
broad price fluctuations, reflecting volatility of energy and basic materials
prices and possible instability of supply of various hard assets. In addition,
some hard assets companies may also be subject to the risks generally associated
with extraction of natural resources, such as the risks of mining and oil
drilling, and the risks of hazards associated with natural resources, such as
fire, drought, increased regulatory and environmental costs, and others.
Securities of hard assets companies may also experience greater price
fluctuations than the relevant hard assets. In periods of rising hard assets
prices, such securities may rise at a faster rate, and conversely, in times of
falling hard assets prices, such securities may suffer a greater price decline.
(See "The Portfolios - Risks Attendant to Investments in Foreign Securities.")
The investment adviser for the Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Fund is Van Eck
Associates Corporation.
RISKS ATTENDANT TO INVESTMENTS IN JUNK BONDS
Investments in non-investment grade debt securities, commonly referred to as
"junk bonds", involve special risks in addition to the risks associated with
investments in higher rated debt securities. In general, non-investment grade
securities are regarded as predominately speculative with respect to the
capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay principal.
Calvert Social Balanced, Calvert Social Small Cap, Oppenheimer High Income
Fund, Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund, Strong International Stock Fund II, and
Strong Discovery Fund II each may invest in junk bonds. These Portfolios each
describe the risks attendant to these investments in its prospectus. You should
review these prospectuses carefully and consider the risks associated with junk
bonds before investing in Sub-accounts corresponding to these Portfolios.
RISKS ATTENDANT TO INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
Investments in foreign securities involve substantial and different risks.
You should consider these risks carefully. Calvert Social International,
Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund, Strong International Stock Fund II, and Van Eck
Worldwide Hard Assets Fund may each invest in foreign securities. For example
there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies
than is available about companies in the U.S. Foreign Companies are generally
not subject to uniform audit and financial reporting standards, practices and
requirements comparable to those in the U.S. These Portfolios each describe the
risks attendant to these investments in its prospectus. You should review these
prospectuses carefully and consider the risks associated with foreign securities
before investing in Sub-accounts corresponding to these Portfolios.

RESOLVING MATERIAL CONFLICTS
In addition to variable annuity and variable life insurance olicies issued
by ANLIC, the Funds are also available to registered separate accounts of
insurance companies other than ANLIC. As a result, there is a possibility that a
material conflict may arise between your interests and the owners of life
insurance policies and variable annuities issued by other companies whose values
are allocated to one or more other separate accounts investing in any one of the
Portfolios.
In addition, one or more of the Portfolios may sell shares to certain
retirement plans qualifying under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") (including cash or deferred arrangements under
Section 401 (k) of the Code) or other sections of the Code. As a result, there
is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between your interests
generally and such retirement plans or participants in such retirement plans.
In the event of a material conflict, ANLIC will take any necessary steps,
including removing the Variable Account from that Portfolio, to resolve the
matter. The Board of Directors or Trustees of the Portfolios intend to monitor
events in order to identify any material conflicts that may possibly arise and
to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to thoseevents or
conflicts. (See, the individual Fund prospectuses for more information.)
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
You may allocate all or a part of your Premium Payments to the Fixed Account
in states where it is available. The Fixed Account is part of the General
Account of ANLIC. The General Account consists of all of ANLIC's assets other
than those in any separate account. We guarantee that we will credit the Fixed
Account with interest at a rate of not less than 4% per year ("Guaranteed
Interest Rate"). We may credit interest at a rate in excess of the Guaranteed
Interest Rate in our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited
to the Fixed Account allocations may not exceed the Guaranteed Interest Rate.
Transfers out of the Fixed Account are subject to certain limitations. (See,
"The Policy - Transfers").
THE POLICY
The Policy is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity. The rights and
benefits of the Policy are described below and in the Policy. The obligations
under the Policy are obligations of ANLIC. However, we reserve the right to make
any modification to conform the Policy to, or to give you or other Owners the
benefit of, any Federal or state statute or rule or regulation.
The Policy may be purchased on a non-qualified tax basis ("Nonqualified
Policy"). The Policy may also be purchased and used in connection with plans
qualifying for favorable Federal income tax treatment ("Qualified Policy").
ISSUANCE OF A POLICY
Individuals wishing to purchase a Policy must complete an application and
send it to our Service Office. Acceptance is subject to our rules, and we
reserve the right to reject any application or Premium Payment. If your
application can be accepted in the form received, your initial Premium Payment
will be applied within two business days after its receipt at our Service
Office. If your initial Premium Payment cannot be applied after receipt because
of deficiencies in the application or other issuing requirements, you will be
contacted within five business days and given an explanation for the delay. The
initial Premium Payment will be returned to you at that time unless you consent
to our retention of it and our crediting of it as soon as the necessary
requirements are fulfilled. If the Annuitant is between the ages of 75 and 85
when you purchase a Policy, you can only make a single Premium Payment. You
cannot purchase a Policy if either you or the Annuitant is 85 years old or
older.
TELEPHONE REQUESTS
At the time an application for a Policy is completed, or at any subsequent
time, you may request a telephone transfer authorization form. If the form is
properly completed and on file with us, transfers may be made pursuant
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
19
<PAGE>
to telephone instructions, subject to the above terms and the terms of the
authorization form. Otherwise, transfer requests must be in writing in a form
acceptable to us. Transfer requests made by telephone are processed upon the
date of receipt, if received prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We may, at any
time, revoke or modify the transfer privilege.
FREE LOOK PERIOD
If for any reason you are not satisfied with the Policy, you may return it
to us within 10 days after you receive it. If you cancel the Policy within this
10-day Free Look Period, we will refund the Policy Account Value at the end of
the Valuation Period during which the Policy was received by us (or, where
required by state law, the greater of the Policy Account Value or the Premium
Payments that were paid), and the Policy will be void from the Policy Date. (See
"The Policy - Allocation of Premium Payments.") To cancel the Policy, you must
mail or deliver it to either our Service Office or the registered agent who sold
it to you within 10 days after you receive it. The Free Look Period may be
longer or otherwise vary where required by state law.
Certain states require us to refund the greater of Premium Payments made or
the Policy Account Value at the end of the Free Look Period. Under Policies
issued in these states, we reserve the right to allocate the initial Premium
Payment and any additional Premium Payments received during the Free Look Period
in their entirety to the Money Market Sub-account until the end of the Free Look
Period. For administrative reasons, the Free Look Period is assumed to be
fifteen days for this purpose.
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
The total Premium Payments during the first Policy year must be at least
$300. Premium Payments may be made in amounts of $30 or more.
If, after the first five Policy anniversaries, you have made no Premium
Payments during a 24-month period and your then-current Policy Account Value
totals less than $2,000, we have the right to pay you the total value of your
account in a lump sum and cancel the Policy.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS
You determine in the application how the initial net Premium Payment will be
allocated among the Sub-accounts and the Fixed Account. You may allocate any
whole percentage of net Premium Payments, from 5% to 100%. Additional net
Premium Payments will be allocated to the Sub-accounts and the Fixed Account
according to the allocation percentage specified in your application, unless
subsequently changed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Premium Payments made on Policies in
certain states may be allocated to the Money Market Sub-account during the Free
Look Period. (See "The Policy - Free Look Period.")
The Policy Account Value will vary with the investment performance of the
Sub-accounts you select, and you bear the entire risk for amounts allocated to
the Variable Account. You should periodically review your allocations of Policy
Account Value in light of all relevant factors, including market conditions and
your overall financial planning requirements.
POLICY ACCOUNT VALUE
The Policy Account Value prior to the Maturity Date is equal to the Variable
Account Value plus the amount in the Fixed Account.
Variable Account Value. On each Valuation Date, the Variable Account Value
is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units of each
Sub-account by the current Accumulation Unit Value for the Sub-account, and
adding together all these amounts. When a Net Premium Payment or transfer is
allocated to a Sub-account, a certain number of Accumulation Units are credited
to your Policy. The number of Accumulation Units is determined by dividing the
dollar amount allocated to the Portfolio by the Accumulation Unit Value for that
Portfolio as of the end of the Valuation Period in which the allocation is made.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
20
<PAGE>
Each Sub-account's Accumulation Unit Value for any Valuation Period is
determined by multiplying its Accumulation Unit Value for the immediately
preceding Valuation Period by the "net investment factor" for the Valuation
Period for which the value is being determined. The net investment factor is an
index that measures the investment performance of a Sub-account from one
Valuation Period to the next. For a complete description on how the net
investment factor is calculated, see "Net Investment Factor" in the Statement of
Additional Information.
Fixed Account Value. At the end of any Valuation Period, the Fixed Account
Value is equal to: (1) the sum of your net Premium Payments allocated to the
Fixed Account; plus (2) any amounts that you transferred from the Variable
Account to the Fixed Account; plus (3) the total interest credited to your
Policy Account Value in the Fixed Account; less (4) any amounts that you
transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Account; less (5) the portion
of any withdrawals and Surrender Charges allocated to your Policy Account Value
in the Fixed Account; less (6) the portion of the Annual Policy Fee which is
allocated to your Policy Account Value in the Fixed Account.
SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
SURRENDER. You may, prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date of
your death, withdraw all or a portion of your then-current Surrender Value, upon
written request to our Service Office. There is a $100 minimum on all
withdrawals. If there are Joint Owners, both of you must agree to the
withdrawal. We may defer payment of your Surrender Value allocated to the Fixed
Account for a period not longer than six months after you request its
withdrawal. Payment of amounts from the Variable Account will normally be made
within seven days, but may be delayed in certain circumstances. (See "Delay or
Suspension of Payments" in the Statement of Additional Information.)
You may, prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date or your death, withdraw
100% of earnings (since the last Policy Anniversary) in all Sub-accounts and the
Fixed Account free of Surrender Charges. Additionally, up to 10% of the Policy
Account Value (as of the last Policy Anniversary); plus 10% of:
(1) Deposits since the last Policy Anniversary; minus
(2) Withdrawals since the last Policy Anniversary
may also be withdrawn free of Surrender Charges.
Upon a partial withdrawal, surrender, or annuitization we will apply the
Surrender Charge percentage shown on the Policy specification page to those
Premium Payments received within five years of the partial withdrawal,
surrender, or annuitization date. After the free amounts are determined, the
calculation will be on a first-in, first-out basis.
Full surrenders and partial withdrawals may be subject to the 10% Federal
tax penalty on early withdrawals and to income tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
SURRENDER VALUE. The Surrender Value is equal to the Policy Account Value
less any applicable Surrender Charges, the Annual Policy Fee, and any premiuM or
other taxes. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL. You may request to make a Partial Withdrawal, and may
direct us to allocate the withdrawal amount among the Fixed Account and the
Sub-accounts in a particular manner. If no allocation is specified, the partial
withdrawal will be pro-rated among the Fixed Account and the Sub-accounts based
upon your current Policy Account Value allocated to each account.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM AND SECTION 403(B)
PLANS. The Texas Educational Code permits participants in the Texas Optional
Retirement Program ("ORP") to withdraw or surrender their interest in a variable
annuity contract issued under the ORP only upon (1) termination of employment in
the Texas public institutions of higher education, (2) retirement, or (3) death.
Accordingly, a participant in the ORP (or the participant's estate if the
participant has died) will be required to obtain a certificate of termination
from the employer or a certificate of death before the account can be redeemed.
Similar restrictions apply to variable annuity contracts used as funding
vehicles for retirement plans qualifying under Section 403(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Section 403(b) provides for
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
21
<PAGE>
tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and
educational organizations. In accordance with the requirements of Section
403(b), any Policy used for a Section 403(b) plan will prohibit distributions of
(i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988, and
(ii) earnings on those contributions and (iii) earnings on amounts attributable
to elective contributions held as of the end of the last year beginning before
January 1, 1989. However, distributions of such amounts will be allowed upon
death of the employee, attainment of age 59-1/2, separation from service,
disability, or financial hardship, except that income attributable to elective
contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER OTHER QUALIFIED POLICIES. Other restrictions on
surrenders or with respect to the election, commencement, or distributions of
benefits may apply under Qualified Policies or under the terms of the plans in
respect of which Qualified Policies are issued.
TRANSFERS
You may transfer all or part of the value of a Sub-account of the Variable
Account to one or more of the other Sub-accounts or the Fixed Account at any
time prior to the Maturity Date, free of charge. The minimum for each transfer
is $50. The transfer will be made as of the date we receive the written request
for such transfer at our Service Office.
The maximum amount allowed to be transferred out of the Fixed Account during
one Policy Year is 100% of Fixed Account interest accrued since the last Policy
Anniversary; plus 10% of:
(1) Account Value of the Fixed Account as of the last Policy Anniversary;
plus
(2) Deposits and transfers made into the Fixed Account since the last Policy
Anniversary; minus
(3) All partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account since the last Policy
Anniversary.
You may also elect to systematically reallocate all interest generated from the
Fixed Account into the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account on an interest only
basis according to your allocation election. (See, "Interest Sweep Program.")
Transfers may be made by a written request or by calling our Service Office
if a written authorization for telephone transfers is on file. We may honor any
telephone transfer request believed to be authentic. We employ reasonable
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine.
For example, a personal identification number is required in order to initiate a
transfer. We will not be liable for the consequences of a fraudulent telephone
transfer request that we believe to be authentic when those procedures have been
followed. As a result, you bear the risk of loss arising from such a fraudulent
request if you authorize telephone transfers.
Each transfer will be made, without the imposition of any fee or charge, at
the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive a valid, complete
transfer request at our Service Office. We may suspend or modify this transfer
privilege at any time, and we may postpone transfers under certain
circumstances. (See, "Delay or Suspension of Payments" in the Statement of
Additional Information.)
AUTOMATIC REBALANCING, DOLLAR COST AVERAGING, AND INTEREST SWEEP PROGRAMS
The Automatic Rebalancing, Dollar Cost Averaging, and Interest Sweep
Programs are three asset allocation programs available to you under the Policy.
You may elect to participate in one or more of these programs by filing a
written authorization with us. We reserve the right to alter, assess a charge,
or terminate these programs upon thirty days advance written notice.
Under the Automatic Rebalancing Program, you may have automatic transfers
made on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis to adjust the values
among the Sub-accounts and the Fixed Account to meet your designated investment
allocation percentages. The allocations are subject to a minimum of 5% per
Sub-account.
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program is an option under which you may "dollar
cost average" your allocations to the Variable Account by authorizing us to make
periodic transfers of specific dollar amounts from the Money Market Sub-account
to one or more other designated Sub-accounts, on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual, or annual basis. Each transfer is subject to the $50 minimum
transfer amount with a minimum 5% per Sub-account. Dollar
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
22
<PAGE>
cost averaging does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that you will not
lose principal.
The Interest Sweep Program allows you to systematically reallocate interest
earnings from the Fixed Account to one or more of the Sub-accounts on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis to meet your Investment Allocation
percentages.
If a periodic transfer would reduce the value in the Money Market
Sub-account below the minimum dollar amount, we reserve the right to transfer
the entire remaining Policy Account Value allocated to the Money Market
Sub-account. We also reserve the right to establish a minimum Money Market
Sub-account balance before allowing you to participate in the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program.
Transfers and adjustments pursuant to these programs will occur on the same
date of the month as the Policy Date, or the next Valuation Date if that date is
not a Valuation Date.
DEATH BENEFIT
The Policy pays a Death Benefit to a beneficiary you designate (the
"Beneficiary") if any Owner or any Joint Owner dies prior to the Maturity Date
while the Policy is in force (unless the Beneficiary is the decedent's spouse,
in which case the spouse may elect to continue the Policy in force).
During the first five years of the Policy, the Death Benefit will be equal
to the greater of the Policy Account Value or the value of the cumulative
Premium Payments made less cumulative withdrawals. On the fifth Policy
Anniversary a "Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit" is calculated as the greater of
these values. Every five years thereafter through the Maturity Date, a new
Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit is calculated as the greater of the current
Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit or the then-current Policy Account Value.
For Owners up to issue age 75, the Death Benefit will be the highest of:
(1) the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit (increased for Premium Payments and
decreased for cumulative withdrawals since the most recent fifth Policy
Anniversary);
(2) the Policy Account Value (as of the date of payment); or
(3)the cumulative Premium Payments less cumulative withdrawals (including
Surrender Charges).
For Owners over issue age 75, the Death Benefit is the greater of:
(1) the Policy Account Value (as of the date of payment); or
(2) the cumulative Premium Payments made less cumulative withdrawals
(including Surrender Charges).
ANLIC will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary upon receiving
due proof of death. The Death Benefit will be paid in a lump sum or under one of
the Annuity Payment Options. (See "Annuity Payments.") If you or the Annuitant
dies after the Maturity Date, the amount payable, if any, will be as provided in
the Annuity Payment Option then in effect.
If the death of the Annuitant occurs prior to the Maturity Date and the
Annuitant is also an Owner or Joint Owner of the Policy, the rules governing
distribution of death benefit proceeds in the event of the death of the Owner
shall apply. (See "Required Distributions," below.) If there is a surviving
Joint Owner at the Annuitant's death, the surviving Joint Owner is the
Beneficiary. If, upon your death your spouse, as designated Beneficiary, elects
to continue the Policy in accordance with the required distributions rules, the
named Beneficiary does not have a right to receive the death benefit proceeds.
If the death of the Annuitant occurs prior to the Maturity Date and the
Annuitant is not the Owner, the Owner may name a new Annuitant.
If both Joint Owners die simultaneously, the Death Benefit will be paid to
the named Beneficiary.
If the Owner is a corporation or other entity, the Annuitant will be treated
as an Owner for purposes of the timing or the amount of any payout under the
Policy.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
23
<PAGE>
As far as permitted by law, the proceeds under the Policy will not be
subject to any claim of the Beneficiary's creditors.
REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS
In order to be treated as an annuity contract for Federal income tax
purposes, Section 72(s) of the Code requires any Nonqualified Policy to provide
that (a) if any Owner dies on or after the annuity starting date but prior to
the time the entire interest in the Policy has been distributed, the remaining
portion of such interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the
method of distribution being used as of the date of that Owner's death; and (b)
if any Owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the
Policy will be distributed within five years after the date of that Owner's
death.
These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of the
Owner's interest that is payable as annuity payments which will begin within one
year of that Owner's death and which will be made over the life of the Owner's
Designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond his life
expectancy.
If the designated Beneficiary is your surviving spouse, the Policy may be
continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner and no distributions will
be required.
If any Owner or Joint Owner dies prior to the Maturity Date, and if the
designated Beneficiary does not elect to receive the Death Benefit in a lump sum
at that time, then we will increase the Policy Account Value so that it equals
the Death Benefit amount, if that amount is higher than the Policy Account
Value. This would occur if the Owner's designated Beneficiary elects to delay
receipt of the proceeds for up to five years, or is the deceased Owner's spouse
and elects to continue the Policy, or elects to receive the proceeds as Annuity
Payments. Any such increase in the Policy Account Value would be paid by us, and
allocated to the Sub-accounts in proportion to the pre-existing Policy Account
Value unless we are instructed otherwise. Other rules may apply to Qualified
Policies.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
We do not impose any charge or deduction against a Premium Payment prior to
its allocation to the Variable Account or the Fixed Account (except for a
charge, in some states, for any premium taxes incurred when the Premium Payment
is accepted). However, certain charges (explained below) will be deducted in
connection with the Policy to compensate us for administering and distributing
the Policy, for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the Policy, for
assuming certain risks in connection with the Policy, and for any applicable
taxes.
ANNUAL POLICY FEE
An annual charge of $42, which meets the "at cost" standards of Rule 26a-1
under the 1940 Act, is deducted to partially compensate us for expenses incurred
in administering the Policy. These expenses include costs of maintaining
records, processing Death Benefit claims, surrenders, transfers and Policy
changes, providing reports to Owners, and overhead costs. This charge is
guaranteed not to increase during the life of the Policy. This deduction will be
made from the Investment Options in the same proportion that the values in the
Investment Options bear to the Policy Account Value. This charge is deducted on
each Policy Anniversary, the Maturity Date, and a full surrender.
The Annual Policy Fee is waived if the Policy Account Value exceeds $50,000
at the time the Annual Policy Fee would be imposed.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
As compensation for administrative expenses incurred in connection with the
policy, ANLIC will deduct a daily Administrative Expense Charge from the value
of the net assets of the Variable Account. This charge will not exceed 0.10%
annually. No Administrative Expense Charge is deducted from the amount in the
Fixed Account.
ANLIC does not expect to make a profit from the administrative expense
charge.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
24
<PAGE>
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
As compensation for mortality and expense risks assumed in connection with
the Policy, ANLIC will deduct a daily mortality and expense risk charge from the
value of the net assets of the Variable Account. For the first 15 years of your
Policy, this charge is at the rate of 1.25% annually. Beginning in the 16th
Policy year, this charge is reduced by 0.05% annually until it reaches 0.50%
annually in Policy year 30; the rate remains level thereafter. No mortality and
expense risk charge will be deducted from the amount in the Fixed Account.
The mortality risk we bear arises in part from our obligation to make
monthly Annuity Payments (determined in accordance with the annuity tables and
other provisions contained in the Policy), regardless of how long all Annuitants
may live. This undertaking assures that neither an Annuitant's own longevity,
nor an improvement in general life expectancy greater than expected, will have
any adverse effect on the monthly Annuity Payments the Annuitant will receive
under the Policy. It therefore relieves the Annuitant from the risk that he or
she will outlive the funds accumulated for retirement. The mortality risk also
arises in part because of the risk that the Death Benefit may be greater than
the Policy Account Value. We also assume the risk that the other expense charges
may be insufficient to cover the actual expenses incurred in connection with the
Policy.
SURRENDER CHARGE
If you make partial withdrawals under the Policy, surrender the Policy, or
annuitize the Policy, then a Surrender Charge may be imposed, measured as a
percent of the Premium Payments included in the withdrawal (in the case of a
partial withdrawal) or the amount of the total Premium Payments (in the case of
a surrender or annuitizing) as specified in the following table of Surrender
Charges:

Free Withdrawal Amount. You may, prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date
or your death, withdraw 100% of earnings (since the last Policy Anniversary) in
the Variable Account and the Fixed Account free of Surrender Charges.
Additionally, up to 10% of the Policy Account Value (as of the last Policy
Anniversary); plus 10% of:
(1) Deposits since the last Policy Anniversary; minus
(2) Withdrawals since the last Policy Anniversary
may be withdrawn free of Surrender Charges. However, income taxes and a tax
penalty may apply.
Amounts withdrawn in addition to the Free Withdrawal Amount may be subject
to a Surrender Charge. The Surrender Charge is determined by multiplying each
Premium Payment included in the withdrawal by the Surrender Charge rate
applicable to the year in which the Premium Payment was received.
For purposes of calculating the Surrender Charge, (1) the oldest Premium
Payments will be treated as the first withdrawn; (2) amounts withdrawn up to the
Free Withdrawal Amount will not be considered a withdrawal of Premium Payments;
and (3) if the Surrender Value is withdrawn or applied under an Annuity Payment
Option, the Surrender Charge will apply to all Premium Payments not previously
assessed with a Surrender Charge. Thus, the Surrender Charges are applied to
Premium Payments on a first-in, first-out basis.
As shown above, the Surrender Charge percentage varies, depending on the
Policy Year in which the Premium Payment included in the withdrawal was made. A
Surrender Charge rate of 8% applies to Premium Payments withdrawn that are less
than three years old. Thereafter the Surrender Charge rate decreases to 6% in
the fourth year and 4% in the fifth year. Amounts representing Premium Payments
five years old or older may be withdrawn without charge.

The Surrender Charge will be deducted from the remaining Policy Account
Value, or from the amount paid if the remaining value is insufficient. The
Surrender Charge partially compensates us for sales expenses with regard to the
Policy, including agent sales commissions, the cost of printing prospectuses and
sales literature, advertising, and other marketing and sales promotional
activities.
The amounts we receive from the Surrender Charge may not be sufficient to
cover sales expenses. We expect to recover any deficiency from our general
assets (which include amounts derived from the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge). We believe that this distribution Financing arrangement will benefit
you, the Variable Account, and all other Owners.
ANLIC may waive the Surrender Charge described above provided that certain
conditions described in the Policy are met, including: (a) you are confined to a
"hospital", "nursing home", or a "Long Term Care Facility" (as defined in the
Policy) for at least 30 days; (b) written notice and satisfactory proof of
confinement are received no later than 91 days after confinement ends; and (c)
confinement was recommended by a physician for medically necessary reasons. We
will not accept any additional Premium Payments on a Policy after this waiver
has been exercised under that Policy. This waiver is not available if you were
confined to a nursing home, hospital, or Long Term Care Facility on the Policy
Date.
PREMIUM TAXES
We will deduct a charge for premium taxes, if any, when incurred. Depending
on state and local law, premium taxes can be incurred when a Premium Payment is
accepted, when Policy Account Value is withdrawn or surrendered, or when annuity
payments start.
FEDERAL TAXES
Currently no charge is made to the Variable Account for Federal income taxes
that may be attributable to the Variable Account. We may, however, make such a
charge in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any, attributable to the
Variable Account also may be made. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
FUND EXPENSES
The value of the assets of the Variable Account will reflect the investment
management fee and other expenses incurred by the Portfolios. See the Fund
prospectuses for complete information on these fees and expenses.
REDUCTION IN CHARGES FOR CERTAIN GROUPS
We may reduce or eliminate the Annual Policy Fee, Administrative Expense
Charge, or Surrender Charge on policies that have been sold to (1) employees and
sales representatives of ANLIC or its affiliates; (2) customers of ANLIC or
distributors of the Policies who are transferring existing policy values to a
Policy; (3) individuals or groups of individuals when sales of the Policy result
in savings of sales or administrative expenses; or (4)individuals or groups of
individuals where Premium Payments are to be made through an approved group
payment method and where the size and type of the group results in savings of
administrative expenses.
In no event will reduction or elimination of any fees or charges be
permitted where such reduction or elimination will be unfairly discriminatory to
any person. The Reduction of Charges for certain groups does not apply to
policies sold in the State of New Jersey.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
ELECTION OF AN ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTION
You have the sole right to elect or change one of the Annuity Payment
Options listed below during the lifetime of the Annuitant and prior to the
Maturity Date, either in the application or by written request to our Service
Office any time at least 30 days before the Maturity Date. We may require the
exchange of the Policy for a contract covering the option selected.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY

<PAGE>
MATURITY DATE
The first annuity payment will be made as of the Maturity Date. We will
assume a Maturity Date of the first day of the calendar month of the Annuitant's
90th birthday unless you tell us otherwise. You may change the Maturity Date at
any time by giving us written notice of the change at least 30 days prior to the
new Maturity Date. A Maturity Date may be the first day of any calendar month
commencing no later than the first day of the calendar month after the
Annuitant's 90th birthday. If the Maturity Date occurs during the first five
Policy Years after receipt of a Premium Payment, a Surrender Charge will apply.
(See "Charges and Deductions - Surrender Charge.") If the net amount to be
applied to an option is less than $2,000 or if payments under any option would
be less than $20, we have the right to pay the net amount to be applied to the
option to you or the Annuitant in one sum.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS
On the Maturity Date, the Surrender Value will be applied to make fixed
annuity payments. Fixed annuity payments provide guaranteed annuity payments
which remain fixed in amount throughout the payment period. Fixed annuity
payments do not vary with the investment experience of the Sub-accounts.
The amount and duration of Annuity Payments will depend on the Annuity
Payment Option that you select. Once an Annuity Payment Option is selected, the
Surrender Value for the Valuation Period which ends immediately before the
Maturity Date will be transferred to our General Account and the Annuity
Payments will be fixed in amount by the Annuity Payment Option selected and the
age and sex (if sex distinction is allowed under state law) of the Annuitant.
ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS
The Annuity Payment Options currently available are:
INTEREST FOR LIFE. We will pay interest on the amount retained for the
lifetime of the Annuitant. At the Annuitant's death, we will pay the
principal amount to the Beneficiary or as otherwise agreed.
INTEREST FOR A FIXED PERIOD. We will pay interest on the retained amount for
a fixed period of not more than 30 years. At the end of the period we will
pay the principal amount to you or as otherwise agreed.
PAYMENTS FOR A FIXED PERIOD. We will pay the amount retained, with interest,
in equal monthly payments, for a period of not more than 30 years. The
amount of each payment will be based on a payment schedule set forth in the
Policy.
PAYMENTS OF A FIXED AMOUNT. We will pay the amount retained, with interest,
in equal payments until the amount retained has been paid in full. The total
payments in any year must be at least 5% of the amount retained.
LIFE INCOME. We will pay the amount retained in monthly installments,
adjusted to reflect the crediting of interest as set forth in the Policy,
for the guaranteed period elected and continuing during the lifetime of a
person that you designate. You may elect to have no guaranteed period or a
guaranteed period of 5, 10, or 15 years, or the period in which the total
payments would equal the amount retained (an installment refund). If no
guaranteed period is elected, only one payment will be made if the Annuitant
dies before the second payment is made, only two payments will be made if
the Annuitant dies before the third payment is made, and so on.

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax
advice. It is not intended to address the tax consequences resulting from all of
the situations in which a person may be entitled to or may receive a
distribution under a contract. If you are concerned about any of the tax
implications discussed, you should consult a competent tax adviser before
purchasing a Policy. This discussion is based upon ANLIC's understanding of the
present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the
Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to the likelihood of the
continuation of the present federal income tax laws or of the current
interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, no attempt has been
made to consider any applicable state or other tax laws, other than premium
taxes. (See the section on Tax Charges.)
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
NONQUALIFIED POLICIES. The following discussion assumes that the Policy will
qualify as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes. The Statement of
Additional Information discusses such qualifications.
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) governs taxation of
annuities. In general, the owner is not taxed on increases in the value of a
policy until some form of distribution is made under the policy. The exception
to this rule is the treatment generally applied to owners that are not natural
persons. Generally, an owner that is not a natural person must include in income
any increase in excess of the owner's cash value over the owner's "investment in
the policy" during the taxable year, even if no distribution occurs. There are,
however, exceptions to this rule which you may wish to discuss with your tax
counsel. The following discussion applies to Policies owned by natural persons.
The taxable portion of a distribution (in the form of an annuity or lump sum
payment) is taxed as ordinary income, subject to any income averaging rules
applicable to taxpayers generally. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or
agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the Accumulation Value generally
will be treated as a distribution. A transfer of ownership of the policy without
full and adequate consideration will also be treated as a distribution under the
Internal Revenue Code, unless the transfer falls within an exception for
transfers between spouses. Generally, in the case of a withdrawal under a
nonqualified policy, amounts received which are allocable to "investment in the
policy" made after August 13, 1982 are first treated as taxable income to the
extent that the accumulation value immediately before the withdrawal exceeds the
"investment in the policy" at that time. Any additional amount is not taxable.
If a withdrawal is allocable to "investment in the policy" made prior to August
14, 1982, it is taxed under the "cost recovery rule" so that withdrawals are
treated as a recovery of "investment in the policy" until such investment has
been fully recovered. Thereafter, withdrawals are fully taxable as ordinary
income. Where a policy contains "investment in the policy" both before and after
the above referenced dates, special ordering rules apply.
Tax treatment of amounts received as an annuity under the Policy, is
different from taxation of distributions or withdrawals that are not in annuity
form. Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the Annuity Income
Option elected under the Policy, in general, only the portion of an annuity
payment that represents the amount of the payment which exceeds the payment's
proportionate share of "investment in the policy" will be taxed. For fixed
annuity payments, in general, there is no tax on the amount of each payment
which represents the same ratio that the "investment in the policy" bears to the
total expected value of the annuity payment for the term of the payment;
however, the remainder of each annuity payment is taxable. Any distribution
received subsequent to the investment in the policy being recovered will be
fully taxable.
A federal penalty equal to 10% of the amount treated as taxable income may
also be imposed on distributions from non-qualified annuity policies. In
general, however, there is no penalty tax on distributions: (1) made on or after
the date on which the owner is actual age 59 1/2, (2) made on or after the death
of the owner, (3) attributable to the taxpayer's becoming disabled within the
meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 72 (m)(7), (4) received in
substantially equal payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the
life or life expectancy of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life
expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her designated beneficiary, subject to
Internal
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
28
<PAGE>
Revenue Service requirements, including special "recapture" rules, or (5) which
are allocable to "investment in the policy" made prior to August 14, 1982.
All Nonqualified deferred annuities entered into after October 21, 1988,
that are issued by ANLIC (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any
calendar year are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining
the amount includable in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code. In
addition, there may be other situations in which the Treasury Department may
(under its authority to issue regulations or otherwise) conclude that it would
be appropriate to aggregate two or more annuity contracts purchased by the same
owner. Accordingly, a Policy Owner should consult a competent tax adviser before
purchasing more than one annuity contract.
Distributions from non-qualified annuity policies are generally subject to
federal income tax. ANLIC will withhold taxes as required by the Code from the
distributions unless the taxpayer requests otherwise. Withholding cannot be
waived if the distribution is subject to mandatory back-up withholding (if no
mandatory taxpayer identification number is given or if ANLIC is notified that
mandatory back-up holding is required). Mandatory back-up withholding rates are
31% of income that is distributed. Distributions to non-resident aliens may be
subject to mandatory withholding at 30% of the income distributed.
QUALIFIED POLICIES. Qualified policies are used by individuals in connection
with retirement plans which are intended to qualify as plans that receive
special income tax treatment under Sections 401, 403(a), 408 or 457 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The ultimate effect of federal income taxes
on the contributions, on the accumulation value, on annuity payments and on the
economic benefit to the owner, the annuitant or the beneficiary depends on the
type of retirement plan, on the tax and employment status of the individual
concerned and on ANLIC's tax status. In addition, certain requirements must be
satisfied in purchasing a qualified policy in connection with a tax qualified
plan in order to receive favorable tax treatment. With respect to qualified
policies an endorsement of the policy and/or limitations or penalties imposed by
the Code may impose limits on premiums, withdrawals, distributions or benefits,
or on other provisions of the policies. Therefore, purchasers of Qualified
Policies should seek competent legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of
the Policy for their situation, the applicable requirements and the tax
treatment of the rights and benefits of a Policy. Section 403(b)(11) of the Code
requires that no distribution attributable to salary deferred contributions may
be made from a plan under Section 403(b) except after age 59 1/2, separation
from service, death or disability, or in the case of hardship, except in a tax
free exchange to another qualified contract. The following discussion assumes
that qualified policies are purchased in connection with retirement plans that
qualify for the special federal income tax treatment described above.
The rules governing the tax treatment of distributions under qualified plans
vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan
itself. Generally, in the case of a distribution to a participant or beneficiary
under a policy purchased in connection with these plans, only the portion of the
payment in excess of the "investment in the policy" allocated to that payment is
subject to tax. The "investment in the policy" equals the portion of plan
contributions invested in the policy that was not excluded from the
participant's gross income (reduced by any amounts previously received under the
policy which were excluded from gross income), and may be zero. In general, for
allowed withdrawals prior to the annuity starting date from qualified policies
other than Roth IRAs, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, based
on the ratio of the investment in the policy to the total policy value. The
amount excluded from a taxpayer's income will be limited to an aggregate cap
equal to the investment in the policy. The taxable portion of annuity payments
with annuity starting dates on or before November 18, 1996 and for IRAs, is
generally determined under rules similar to those applicable to annuity
distributions from nonqualified policies. However, for annuity payments from
plans qualified under Code Sections 401and 403 with annuity starting dates after
November 18, 1996, annuitants must use a simplified method for determining the
tax-free portion of annuity payments by dividing "investment in the policy" by
the number of annuity payments set by tables in the Internal Revenue Code based
on the age of the primary annuitant. This method does not apply if the annuitant
is over age 75 and there are 5 or more years of guaranteed payments. Also, for
annuity payments based on the lives of more than one individual and that have
annuity starting dates after December 31, 1997, annuitants must use the
simplified method based on the combined ages of both individuals when
calculating the excludable portion of annuities based on the separate tables set
forth in the Code for that
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
29
<PAGE>
purpose. In the case of an annuity that does not depend in whole or in part on
the life expectancy of one or more individuals, the expected number of payments
is the number of monthly annuity payments under the policy. Special favorable
tax treatment may be available for certain distributions (including lump sum
distributions from plans other than IRAs made in tax years beginning before
January 1, 2000). Adverse tax consequences may result from excess contributions,
distributions made prior to age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions),
distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum
distribution rules, and in certain other circumstances.
Roth IRA contributions are not deductible and may be limited or unavailable
depending on your adjusted gross income. Withdrawals of earnings from Roth IRAs
may be tax free if certain requirements are met. If withdrawals do not meet
those requirements, they will be considered to be made first from contributions
then from "conversion" amounts (on a first-in, first-out basis) and then from
earnings. The earnings will be subject to income tax and an additional 10%
penalty tax may apply to distributions made prior to age 59 1/2. Conversions
from existing IRAs to Roth IRAs are permitted if certain requirements are met,
however, converted amounts not previously taxed will be subject to income tax in
the year of conversion (for 1998 only, taxpayers could elect to include the full
taxable conversion amount in income for 1998 or to have the tax spread over 4
years on a pro rata basis, beginning in 1998). Conversion amounts will not
generally be subject to the 10% penalty tax that applies to premature
distributions, unless a distribution of the conversion amount from the Roth IRA
occurs within the 5 taxable year period beginning with the year of conversion.
Also, income inclusion may be accelerated if a distribution is made of 1998
conversion amounts which are subject to the 4 year spread rule.
Distributions from qualified plans are subject to specific tax withholding
rules. "Eligible rollover distributions" from a qualified plan (other than IRAs
of any type and Section 457 plans) are subject to income tax withholding at a
rate of 20% unless the Owner elects to have the distribution paid directly by
ANLIC to an eligible retirement plan (another plan of the same type or an IRA)
in a direct rollover. If the distribution is not an "eligible rollover
distribution," it is generally subject to the same withholding rules as
distributions from nonqualified policies. However, Section 457 nonqualified
deferred compensation plan distributions are generally subject to withholding as
wages and are not eligible for rollover to an IRA.
ANNUITY OWNERS THAT ARE NONRESIDENT
ALIENS OR FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. Federal
income tax consequences to Annuity Owners that are U.S. citizens or residents.
Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to
U.S. Federal income tax and withholding on annuity distributions at a 30% rate,
unless a lower treaty rate applies and any required tax forms are submitted to
ANLIC. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state premium tax, other state
and/or municipal taxes, and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser's country
of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with
a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect
to the purchase of a Policy.
VOTING RIGHTS
To the extent deemed to be required by law, we will vote the Portfolios'
shares held in the Variable Account at regular and special shareholder meetings
of the Funds in accordance with instructions received from persons having voting
interests in the corresponding Sub-accounts. If, however, the 1940 Act or any
regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof
should change, or if we determine that it is allowed to vote the Portfolio
shares in its own right, we may elect to do so.
The number of votes which are available to you will be calculated separately
for each Sub-account. That number will be determined by applying your percentage
interest, if any, in a particular Sub-account to the total number of votes
attributable to that Sub-account. Prior to the Maturity Date, you hold a voting
interest in each Sub-account to which your Policy Account Value is allocated.
After the Maturity Date, the person receiving variable annuity payments has the
voting interest. The number of votes prior to the Maturity Date will be
determined by dividing the value of the Policy allocated to the Sub-account by
the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. After the Maturity
Date, you have no voting rights.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
30
<PAGE>
The number of votes of a Portfolio which are available will be determined as
of the date coincident with the date established by that Portfolio for
determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Fund. Voting
instructions will be solicited by written communication prior to such meeting in
accordance with procedures established by the Fund.
Portfolio shares attributable to the Policies as to which no timely
instructions are received will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions
which are received with respect to all Policies participating in the
Sub-account. Voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon will be
applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.
Each person having a voting interest in an Sub-account will receive proxy
material, reports and other materials relating to the appropriate Portfolio.
PERFORMANCE DATA
We may advertise yields and total returns for the Sub-accounts. In addition,
we may advertise the effective yield of the Money Market Sub-account. These
figures will be based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate
future performance.
The yield of the Money Market Sub-account refers to the annualized income
generated by an investment in the Sub-account over a specified seven-day period.
The yield is calculated by assuming that the income generated for that seven-day
period is generated each seven-day period over a 52-week period and is shown as
a percentage of the investment. The effective yield is calculated similarly but,
when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Sub-account is
assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the
yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The total return calculation of a Sub-account other than the Money Market
Sub-account assumes an investment has been held in the Sub-account for various
periods of time including: (a) one year; (b) five years; (c) ten years; and (d)
a period measured from the date the Sub-account commenced operations. The total
return will represent the average annual compounded rates of return that would
equate an initial investment of $1,000 to the redeemable value of that
investment as of the last day of each of the periods referenced above. Total
return figures in non-standard formats for the Sub-accounts other than the Money
Market Sub-account may also be disclosed from time to time. The non-standard
total return will assume that no surrender occurs at the end of the applicable
period. All non-standard performance data disclosed will be accompanied by
standard performance data for the same period.
ANLIC may also advertise performance figures for the Sub-accounts based on
the performance of a Portfolio prior to the time the corresponding Sub-account
commenced operations.
Performance data calculations are discussed in further detail in the
Statement of Additional Information.
PUBLISHED RATINGS
We may publish in advertisements, sales literature, and reports to Owners,
the ratings and other information assigned to ANLIC by one or more independent
insurance industry analyst or rating organizations such as A. M. Best Company,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, and Weiss Research, Inc. These ratings reflect
the current opinion of an insurance company's financial strength and operating
performance in comparison to the norms for the insurance industry; they do not
reflect the strength, performance, or safety (or lack thereof) of the Variable
Account. The claims-paying ability rating as measured by Standard & Poor's is an
opinion of an operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the
obligations of its insurance and annuity policies in accordance with their
terms. These ratings should not be considered as bearing on the investment
performance of the assets held in the Variable Account or the degree of risk
associated with an investment in the Variable Account.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings to which the Variable Account is a party to
or to which the assets of the Variable Account are subject. We are not involved
in any litigation that is of material importance in relation to its total assets
or that relates to the Variable Account.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements for ANLIC and the Variable Account (as well as the
Auditors' Report thereon) are in the Statement of Additional Information.
ADMINISTRATION
ANLIC has contracted with Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. ("Ameritas"), having
its principal place of business at 5900 "O" Street, Lincoln, Nebraska 68501 for
it to provide ANLIC with certain administrative services for the flexible
premium variable annuity policies. Ameritas is an affiliate of ANLIC and a
member of the Ameritas Acacia family of companies. Pursuant to the terms of a
Service Agreement, Ameritas will act as record keeping Service Agent for the
policies and riders for an initial term of three years and any subsequent
renewals thereof. Ameritas, under the direction of ANLIC, will perform
Administrative functions including issuance of policies for reinstatement, term
conversion, plan changes and guaranteed insurability options, generation of
billing and posting of premium, computation of valuations, calculation of
benefits payable, maintenance of administrative controls over all activities,
correspondence, and data, and providing management reports to ANLIC.
THE YEAR 2000
Like all insurance companies, ANLIC makes extensive use of dates and date
calculations. We began a corporate-wide Year 2000 (Y2K) project in mid-1997. Our
goal is to ensure that our computer systems continue to operate smoothly with no
service disruptions before, during or after the year 2000.
This issue arose because both mainframe and PC-based computer hardware and
software have traditionally used two digits to identify the year. For example,
the year 1999 is input, stored and calculated as "99." Similarly, the year 2000
would be input, stored and calculated as "00." If computers assume this means
1900, it could cause errors in calculations, comparisons, and other computing
functions. Like all insurance companies, ANLIC makes extensive use of dates and
date calculations. We began a corporate-wide Year 2000(Y2K) project in mid-1997.
Our goal is to ensure that our computer systems continue to operate smoothly
with no service disruptions before, during or after the year 2000.
As of April 15, 2000, ANLIC has experienced no known Y2K problems. All of
our computer application and operating systems had been updated for the year
2000 by July 31, 1999. Continuous testing and monitoring throughout the
remainder of 1999 helped ANLIC continue to meet our contractual and service
obligations to our customers. In addition to our internal efforts, ANLIC is
working closely with vendors and other business partners to confirm that they
too are addressing Y2K issues on a timely basis. In the event we or our service
providers, vendors, financial institutions or others with which we conduct
business, fail to be Y2K - compliant, there would be a materially adverse effect
on us.
Certain vendors and/or business partners, due to their exposure to foreign
markets, may face additional Y2K issues. Please see the Funds' prospectuses for
information on the Funds' preparedness for Y2K.
POLICY REPORTS
At least once each Policy Year a statement will be sent to you describing
the status of the Policy, including setting forth the current Death Benefit, the
current Policy Account Value, the value in the Fixed Account, the value in each

a statement will be sent to you showing the status of the Policy following the
transfer of amounts from one Sub-account to another, a partial surrender and the
payment of any Premium Payments (excluding those paid by bank draft). You may
request that a similar report be prepared at other times. We may charge a
reasonable fee for such requested reports and may limit the scope and frequency
of such requested reports.
You will be sent a semi-annual report containing the financial statements of
the Funds as required by the 1940 Act.

following:
PART 1. PROCEDURE FOR REVOKING THE IRA PLAN:
After you establish an IRA Plan with Acacia National Life Insurance Company
(ANLIC), you are able to revoke your IRA within a limited time and receive a
full refund of the initial premium paid, if any. The period for revocation will
not be less than the legal minimum of seven (7) days following the date your IRA
is established with ANLIC.
To revoke your IRA, you should send a signed and dated written notice to: Acacia
National Life Service Center, P.O. Box 82529, Lincoln, NE 68501-2579.
If your IRA contract was delivered to you, the contract should accompany your
notice of revocation. Your notice of revocation will be considered mailed on the
date of the postmark (or certification or registration, if applicable), if sent
by United States mail, properly addressed and by first class postage prepaid.
To obtain further information about the revocation procedure, contact your ANLIC
Representative or call 1-800-745-1112.
PART II. PROVISIONS OF THE IRA LAW:
ANLIC's Allocator 2000 Annuity (Form 850-000 3-96), can be used for a Regular
IRA, a Rollover IRA, a Spousal IRA Arrangement, a Simplified Employee Pension
Plan (SEP IRA), or a salary reduction Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SARSEP)
or a SIMPLE IRA or a Roth IRA. A separate policy must be purchased for each
individual under each plan. State income tax treatment of IRAs varies, so this
disclosure only discusses the federal tax treatment of IRAs. Please discuss
state income tax treatment of an IRA with your tax advisor.
While provisions of the IRA law are similar for all such plans, any major
differences are set forth under the appropriate topics below.
A. ELIGIBILITY:
REGULAR IRA PLAN: Any individual under age 70 1/2 and earning income from
personal services, is eligible to establish an IRA Plan, although
deductibility of the contributions is determined by adjusted gross income
("AGI") and whether the individual(or the individual's spouse) is an "active
participant" in an employer sponsored retirement plan.
ROLLOVER IRA: This is an IRA plan purchased with your distributions from
another IRA (including a SEP IRA, SARSEP or SIMPLE IRA), a Section 401(a)
Qualified Retirement Plan, or a Section 403(b) Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA).
Amounts transferred as Rollover Contributions are not taxable in the year of
distribution (provided the rules for Rollover treatment are satisfied) and
may or may not be subject to withholding. Rollover Contributions are not
deductible.
SPOUSAL IRA ARRANGEMENT: A Spousal IRA, consisting of a separate contract
for each spouse, may be set up provided a joint return is filed, the
"nonworking spouse" has less taxable compensation, if any, for the tax year
than the working spouse, and is under age 70 1/2 at the end of the tax year.
Divorced spouses can continue a spousal IRA or start a Regular IRA based on
the standard IRA eligibility rules. All taxable alimony received by a
divorced spouse under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance is treated
as compensation for purposes of the IRA deduction limit.
ROTH IRAS: A Roth IRA must be designated as such when it is established.
Eligibility to contribute or convert to a Roth IRA is subject to income and
other limits. Unlike deductible IRAs, if eligible, you may contribute to a
Roth IRA EVEN AFTER AGE 70 1/2.
1. A REGULAR ROTH IRA is a Roth IRA established to receive annual
contributions and/or qualified rollover contributions (including IRA
conversion contributions) from other Roth IRAs or from other IRAs if
permitted by the policy and endorsement.
Roth IRAs are available beginning in 1998. Unlike Regular IRAs,
contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible for tax purposes. However,
any gain accumulated in a Roth IRA may be nontaxable, depending upon how
and when withdrawals are made.
2. A ROTH CONVERSION IRA is a Roth IRA established to receive only rollovers
or conversions from non-Roth IRAs made in the same tax year and is
limited to such contributions.
QD 1
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
3. SPOUSAL ROTH IRA ARRANGEMENT: Beginning in 1998, a Spousal Roth IRA may
be set up for a "non-working" spouse who has less taxable compensation,
if any, for the tax year than the "working" spouse, regardless of age,
provided the spouses file a joint tax return and subject to the adjusted
gross income ("AGI") limits described in PART II, MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS -
SPOUSAL ROTH IRA ARRANGEMENT. Divorced spouses can continue a Spousal
Roth IRA or start a regular Roth IRA based on standard Roth IRA
eligibility rules. Taxable alimony received by the divorced spouse under
a decree of divorce or separate maintenance is treated as compensation
for purposes of Roth IRA eligibility limits.
SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN (SEP IRA): An employee is eligible to
participate in a SEP IRA Plan based on eligibility requirements set forth
in form 5305-SEP or other plan document provided by the employer.
SALARY REDUCTION SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN (SARSEP): An employee
is eligible to participate in a SARSEP plan based on eligibility
requirements set forth in form 5305A-SEP or the plan document provided by
the employer. New SARSEP plans may not be established after December 31,
1996. SARSEPs established prior to January 1, 1997, may continue to
receive contributions after 1996, and new employees hired after 1996 are
also permitted to participate in such plans.
SAVINGS INCENTIVE MATCH PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF SMALL EMPLOYERS (SIMPLE
IRA): An employee is eligible to participate in a SIMPLE IRA Plan based
on eligibility requirements set forth in Form 5304-SIMPLE or other plan
document provided by the employer. A SIMPLE IRA must be established as
such, thus some policies may not be available for use with a SIMPLE IRA
Plan.
B. NONTRANSFERABILITY: You may not transfer, assign or sell your IRA Plan
(including a SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, SARSEP or Roth IRA) to anyone (except in
the case of transfer incident to divorce).
C. NONFORFEITABILITY: The value of your IRA Plan (all types included) belongs
to you at all times, without risk of forfeiture.
D. PREMIUM: The annual premium (if applicable) of your IRA Plan or Roth IRA may
not exceed the lesser of $2,000, or 100% of compensation for the year (or
for Spousal IRAs, or Spousal Roth IRAs, the combined compensation of the
spouses reduced by any Roth IRA or deductible IRA contribution made by the
"working" spouse). Any premium in excess of or in addition to $2,000 will be
permitted only as a "Rollover Contribution" (or "Conversion" contribution to
a Roth IRA). Your contribution must be made in cash. For IRAs established
under SEP Plans (SEP IRAs), premiums are limited to the lesser of $30,000 or
15% of the first $150,000 of compensation (adjusted for cost of living
increases). In addition, if the IRA is under a SARSEP Plan established prior
to January 1, 1997, annual premiums made by salary reduction are limited to
$7,000 (adjusted for cost of living increases). Premiums under a SIMPLE IRA
are limited to permissible levels of annual employee elective contributions
(up to $6,000 adjusted for cost of living increases) plus the applicable
percentage of employer matching contributions (up to 3% of compensation but
not in excess of $6,000, as adjusted) or of employer non-elective
contributions (2% of compensation (subject to the cap under Code Section
401(a)(17) as indexed) for each eligible employee).
E. MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS:
REGULAR IRA PLAN: In any year that your annuity is maintained under the
rules for a Regular IRA Plan, your maximum contribution is limited to 100%
of your compensation or $2,000, whichever is less. Further, this is the
maximum amount you may contribute to ALL IRAs in a year (including Roth
IRAs, but not Education IRAs or employer contributions or salary deferrals
made to SEP or SIMPLE IRAs). The amount of permissible contributions to your
Regular IRA may or may not be deductible. Whether IRA contributions (other
than Rollovers) are deductible depends on whether you (or your spouse, if
married) are an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan
and whether your adjusted gross income ("AGI") is above the "phase-out
level." Beginning for tax years after 1997, you will only be deemed to be an
active participant and your deductions for contributions subject to
phase-out because of your spouse's participation in an employer-sponsored
retirement plan, if your combined adjusted gross income exceeds $150,000.
SEE PART III. C., DEDUCTIBLE IRA CONTRIBUTIONS.
ROLLOVER IRA: A Plan to Plan Rollover is a method for accomplishing
continued tax deferral on otherwise taxable distributions from certain
plans. Rollover contributions are not subject to the contribution limits on
Regular IRA contributions, but also are not tax deductible.
There are two ways to make a rollover to an IRA:
(1) PARTICIPANT ROLLOVERS are available to participants, surviving spouses or
former spouses who receive eligible rollover distributions from 401(a)
Qualified Retirement Plans, TSAs or IRAs (including SEPs, SARSEPs, and
SIMPLE IRAs). Participant Rollovers are accomplished by contributing part
or all of the eligible amounts (which includes amounts withheld for
federal income tax purposes) to your new IRA within 60 days following
receipt of the distribution. IRA to IRA Rollovers are limited to one per
distributing plan per 12 month period, while direct IRA to IRA transfers
(where you do not directly receive a distribution) are not subject to
this limitation. Distributions from a SIMPLE IRA may not be rolled over
or transferred to an IRA (which isn't a SIMPLE IRA) during the 2 year
period following the date you first participate in any SIMPLE Plan
maintained by your employer.
(2) DIRECTROLLOVERS are available to participants, surviving spouses and
former spouses who receive eligible rollover distributions from 401(a)
Qualified Retirement Plans or TSAs. Direct Rollovers are made by
instructing the plan trustee, custodian or issuer to pay the eligible
portion of your distribution directly to the trustee, custodian or issuer
of the receiving IRA. Direct Rollover amounts are not subject to
mandatory federal income tax withholding.

ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
FOR RULES APPLICABLE TO ROLLOVERS OR TRANSFERS TO ROTH IRAS, SEE THE
PARAGRAPHS ON ROTH AND ROTH CONVERSION IRAS, BELOW.
Certain distributions are NOT considered to be eligible for Rollover and
include: (1) distributions which are part of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (made at least annually) for 10 years or more; (2)
distributions attributable to after-tax employee contributions to a 401(a)
Qualified Retirement Plan or TSA; (3) required minimum distributions made
during or after the year you reach age 70 1/2 or, if later and applicable,
the year in which you retire; and (4) amounts in excess of the cash (except
for certain loan offset amounts) or in excess of the proceeds from the sale
of property distributed. Also, hardship distributions made from 401(k) or
403(b) plans on or after January 1, 1999, will no longer be considered
eligible rollover distributions, except as otherwise permitted by the
Internal Revenue Service. The Service announced transition relief from this
rule for 1999.
At the time of a Rollover, you must irrevocably designate in writing that
the transfer is to be treated as a Rollover Contribution. Eligible amounts
which are not rolled over are normally taxed as ordinary income in the year
of distribution. If a Rollover Contribution is made to an IRA from a
Qualified Retirement Plan, you may later be able to roll the value of the
IRA into a new employer's plan PROVIDED YOU MAKE NO CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE IRA
OTHER THAN FROM THE FIRST EMPLOYER'S PLAN. THIS IS KNOWN AS "CONDUIT IRA,"
AND YOU SHOULD DESIGNATE YOUR ANNUITY AS SUCH WHEN YOU COMPLETE YOUR
APPLICATION.
SPOUSAL IRA ARRANGEMENT: In any year that your annuity is maintained under
the rules for a Spousal IRA, the maximum combined contribution to the
Spousal IRA and the "working" spouse's IRA for tax years after 1996, is the
lesser of 100% of the combined compensation of both spouses which is
includable in gross income (reduced by the amount of any contributions to a
Roth IRA or the amount allowed as a deduction to the "working" spouse for
contribution to his or her own IRA) or $4,000. No more than $2,000 may be
contributed to either spouse's IRA. Whether the contribution is deductible
or non-deductible depends on whether either spouse is an "active
participant" in an employer-sponsored retirement plan for the year, and
whether the adjusted gross income of the couple is above the applicable
phase-out level. (SEE PART III. C., DEDUCTIBLE IRA CONTRIBUTIONS).
The contribution limit for divorced spouses is the lesser of $2,000 or the
total of the taxpayer's taxable compensation and alimony received for the
year. (Married individuals who live apart for the entire year and who file
separate tax returns are treated as if they are single when determining the
maximum deductible contribution limits).
ROTH IRA: The maximum total annual contribution an individual can make to
all IRAs (including Roth IRAs, but not Education, SARSEP or SIMPLE IRAs) is
the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of compensation. (This limit does not apply to
rollover contributions, which includes amounts converted from a Regular IRA
to a Roth IRA). If an individual contributes to both a Regular IRA and Roth
IRA for the same tax year, contributions are treated as first made to the
Regular IRA. For Roth IRAs (which are available beginning in the 1998 tax
year) this $2,000 limitation is phased out for adjusted gross incomes
between $150,000 and $160,000 for joint filers; between $95,000 and $110,000
for single taxpayers; and between $0 and $10,000 for married individuals who
file separate tax returns. AGI for this purpose includes any deductible
contribution to a Regular IRA, (i.e., the deduction is disregarded) but does
not include any amount included in income as a result of a rollover or
conversion from a non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA.
Rollovers and transfers may also be made from one Regular Roth IRA to
another. Such rollovers or transfers are generally subject to the same
timing and frequency rules as apply to Participant Rollovers and transfers
from one Regular or Rollover IRA to another. (SEE PART II, MAXIMUM
CONTRIBUTIONS: ROLLOVER IRA, ABOVE).
Also, beginning in the 1998 tax year, rollovers or conversions may be made from
non-Roth IRAs to a Roth IRA. These contributions may be commingled with regular
Roth contributions if your contract permits. To be eligible to make such a
conversion or rollover from a non-Roth IRA, the taxpayer's adjusted gross income
("AGI") for the taxable year cannot exceed $100,000 (joint or individual) and he
or she must not be married filing a separate tax return (unless the taxpayer
lives apart from his of her spouse at all times during the year). A rollover
from a non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA does not count toward the limit of one
rollover per IRA in any 12-month period under the normal IRA rollover rules.
Also, eligible rollover distributions received by you or your spouse from a
qualified plan other than an IRA, may not be directly rolled over to a Roth IRA.
However, you may be able to roll such a distribution over to a non-Roth IRA,
then convert that IRA to a Roth IRA. Also if you are eligible to make a
conversion, you may transfer amounts from most non-Roth IRAs (other than
Education IRAs). Conversion of an individual's SIMPLE IRA is only permitted
after expiration of the 2-year period which begins on the date the individual
first participated in any SIMPLE IRA Plan of the employer. Once an amount in a
SIMPLE IRA or SEP has been converted to a Roth IRA, it is treated as a Roth IRA
contribution for all purposes. Future contributions under the SEP or SIMPLE Plan
may not be made to the Roth IRA. AGI for the purpose of determining eligibility
to convert to a Roth IRA does not include any amount included in income as a
result of a rollover or conversion from a non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA, but does
include the amount of any deductible contribution made to a Regular IRA for the
tax year. In addition, for tax years beginning before January 1, 2005, required
minimum distributions from an IRA are included in AGI for purposes of
determining eligibility for conversion to a Roth IRA. However, for tax years
beginning after December 31, 2004, required minimum distributions from an IRA
will not be included in AGI (solely for purposes of determining the $100,000 AGI
limit on conversions).
ROTH CONVERSION IRA: A Roth Conversion IRA is a Roth IRA that only accepts IRA
conversion contributions made during the same tax year. YOU SHOULD NOT DESIGNATE
YOUR POLICY AS A ROTH CONVERSION IRA IF YOU WISH TO MAKE BOTH REGULAR ROTH AND
CONVERSION CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE POLICY.
QD 3
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
SPOUSAL ROTH IRA ARRANGEMENT: Beginning in the 1998 tax year, if the
"non-working" spouse's compensation is less than $2,000, the spouses file a
joint tax return, and their combined AGI (unreduced by any deductible IRA
contribution made for the year, but not including any amounts includable in
income as a result of a conversion to a Roth IRA) is $150,000 or below, a
contribution of up to $2,000 may be made to a separate Spousal Roth IRA in the
name of the "non-working" spouse. The $2,000 limit is phased out proportionately
between $150,000 and $160,000 of AGI (modified as described above). Spouses are
not required to make equal contributions to both Roth IRAs; however no more than
$2,000 may be contributed to the "working" or "non-working" spouse's Roth IRA
for any year, and the total amount contributed annually to all IRAs (including
both Roth and Regular IRAs, but not Education IRAs) for both spouses cannot
exceed $4,000. If the combined compensation of both spouses (reduced by any
deductible IRA or non-deductible Roth contributions made for the "working"
spouse) is less than $4,000, the total contribution for all IRAs is limited to
the total amount of the spouses' combined compensation. These limits do not
apply to rollover contributions.
For divorced spouses, the contribution limit to a Roth IRA is the lesser of
$2,000 or the total of the taxpayer's compensation and alimony received for the
year, subject to the applicable phase-out limits for eligibility to make
contributions to a Roth IRA. (Married individuals who live apart for the entire
year and who file separate tax returns are treated as if they are single when
determining the maximum contribution they are eligible to make in a Roth IRA).
SEP IRA PLAN: In any year that your annuity is maintained under the rules for a
SEP Plan, the employer's maximum contribution is the lesser of $30,000 or 15% of
your first $150,000 of compensation (adjusted for cost-of-living increases) or
as changed under Section 415 of the Code. You may also be able to make
contributions to your SEP IRA the same as you do to a Regular IRA; however, you
will be considered an "active participant" for purposes of determining your
deduction limit. In addition to the above limits, if your annuity is maintained
under the rules for a SARSEP, the maximum amount of employee pre-tax
contributions which can be made is $7,000 (adjusted for cost of living
increases). After December 31, 1996, new SARSEP plans may not be established.
Employees may, however, continue to make salary reductions to a SARSEP plan
established prior to January 1, 1997. In addition, employees hired after
December 31, 1996 may participate in SARSEP plans established by their employers
prior to 1997.
SIMPLE IRA: Contributions to a SIMPLE IRA may not exceed the permissible amounts
of employee elective contributions and required employer matching contributions
or non-elective contributions. Annual employee elective contributions must be
expressed as a percentage of compensation and may not exceed $6,000 (adjusted
for cost of living increases). If an employer elects a matching contribution
formula, it is generally required to match employee contributions dollar for
dollar up to 3% of the employee's compensation for the year (but not in excess
of $6,000 as adjusted for cost-of-living adjustments). An employer may elect a
lower percentage match (but not below 1%) for a year, provided certain notice
requirements are satisfied and the employer's election will not result in the
matching percentage being lower than 3% in more than 2 of the 5 years in the
5-year period ending with that calendar year. Alternatively, an employer may
elect to make non-elective contributions of 2% of compensation for all employees
eligible to participate in the plan who have at least $5,000 in compensation for
the year. The employer must notify employees of this election within specified
timeframes in advance of the plan year or election period. "Compensation" for
purposes of the 2% non-elective contribution option may not exceed the limit on
compensation under Code Section 401(a)(17) ($150,000, adjusted for cost of
living increases).
F. DISTRIBUTIONS:
1. NON-ROTH IRA MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS:
Payments to you from your IRA Plan (other than a Roth IRA) must begin no
later than the April 1 following the close of the calendar year in which
you attain age 70 1/2, the Required Beginning Date (RBD). If you have not
already withdrawn your entire balance by this date, you may elect to
receive the entire value of your IRA Plan on or before the RBD in one
lump sum; or arrange for an income to be paid over your lifetime, your
expected lifetime, or over the lifetimes or expected lifetimes of you and
your designated beneficiary. UNDER A ROTH IRA, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO
TAKE DISTRIBUTIONS WHILE YOU ARE LIVING, EVEN AFTER YOU REACH AGE 70 1/2.
RATE OF DISTRIBUTION: If you arrange for the value of your IRA Plan
(other than a Roth IRA) to be paid to you as retirement income rather
than as one lump sum, then you must abide by IRS rules governing how
quickly the value of your IRA plan must be paid out to you. Generally, it
is acceptable to have an insurance company annuity pay income to you for
as long as you live, or for as long as you and your beneficiary live.
QD-3
Once you reach your RBD, you must withdraw a minimum amount each year or
be subject to a 50% non-deductible excise tax on the difference between
the minimum required distribution and the amount distributed. To
determine the required minimum distribution for your first "required
distribution year" (assuming an annuity payout has not been elected)
divide your entire interest (subject to certain adjustments) in your IRA
(generally as of December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding
your age 70 1/2 year) by your life expectancy or the joint life
expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary. For subsequent
required distribution calendar years, the applicable life expectancy(ies)
will be applied to your IRA account balance as of December 31 of the
calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year
(subject to adjustments). Your single or joint life expectancy is
determined by using IRS life expectancy tables. See IRS Publications 575
and 590.
Your life expectancy (and that of your spousal beneficiary, if
applicable) will be recalculated annually, unless you irrevocably elect
otherwise by the time distributions are required to begin. With the
recalculation method, if a person whose life expectancy is being
recalculated dies, his or her life expectancy will be zero in all
subsequent years. The life expectancy of a non-spouse beneficiary cannot
be recalculated. Where life expectancy is not recalculated, it is reduced
by one year for each year after your 70 1/2 year to determine the
applicable remaining life expectancy. Also, if your benefit is payable in
the form of a joint and survivor annuity, a larger minimum distribution
amount may be required during your lifetime under IRS regulations, unless
your spouse is the designated beneficiary. If your designated beneficiary
is not your spouse, the designated beneficiary's age will be deemed to be
no more than ten (10) years younger than you when determining life
expectancy for required payouts. However, under current I.R.S. proposed
QD 4
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
regulations, this rule only applies while you are living and life
expectancy of your beneficiary after your death can be determined without
regard to this rule.
NON-ROTH IRA MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS AFTER DEATH. If you die
after the RBD, amounts undistributed at your death must be distributed at
least as rapidly as under the method being used to determine
distributions at the time of your death. If you die before the RBD, your
entire interest must generally be distributed by the end of the calendar
year which contains the fifth anniversary of your death (the "five year
payout rule"). However, if a beneficiary is designated, the beneficiary
may elect to receive distributions over his or her life expectancy if the
beneficiary so elects by December 31 of the year following the year of
your death. If the beneficiary fails to make an election, the entire
benefit will be paid to the beneficiary under the "five year payout
rule". Also, if the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the life
annuity distribution must begin by the later of December 31 of the
calendar year following the calendar year of your death or December 31 of
the year in which you would have attained age 70 1/2. If your designated
beneficiary is not your spouse, life annuity distributions must begin by
December 31 of the year following your death. A surviving spouse may in
the alternative elect to treat the policy as his or her own IRA. This
election may be expressly made or will be deemed made if the spouse makes
a regular IRA contribution to the policy, makes a rollover to or from the
IRA, or fails to elect minimum distributions as described above.
2. ROTH IRA DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS:
ROTH IRA MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS WHILE YOU ARE LIVING. As long
as you are alive, you are not required to take distributions from a Roth
IRA, even after you reach age 70 1/2.
ROTH IRA MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS AFTER YOUR DEATH. Minimum
distribution requirements apply to Roth IRAs only after you die. If you
die after you have reached your Annuity Date, and have begun to receive
distributions under an annuity option (not including an interest only
option), the remaining portion of your policy interests will continue to
be distributed to your designated beneficiary according to the terms of
the elected options, (provided that method satisfies the requirements of
Code Section 408(b)(3), as modified by Code Section 408A(c)(5)).
If you die before you have elected an annuity option or before
distribution of your entire interest in the policy has been made or
begun, your entire interest in your Roth IRA generally must be
distributed by the end of the calendar year which contains the fifth
anniversary of your death (the "five year payout rule"). However, if
there is a designated beneficiary, he or she may elect to receive
distributions over a period not longer than his or her life expectancy
provided the election is made and distributions commence by December 31
of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death. If the
beneficiary does not make this election, the entire benefit will be paid
to him or her under the "five year payout rule". If your designated
beneficiary is your surviving spouse, he or she may elect to delay
distributions until the later of the end of the calendar year following
the year in which you died or the end of the year in which you would have
reach age 70 1/2. If your sole designated beneficiary is your surviving
spouse, he or she may elect to treat the policy as his or her own Roth
IRA by making an express election to do so, by making a regular Roth IRA
contribution or rollover contribution (as applicable or as permissible)
to the policy, or by failing to elect minimum distributions under the
"five year payout rule" or the life annuity options discussed above.
Life expectancies will be determined by using IRS life expectancy tables.
A surviving spouse's life expectancy will be recalculated annually,
unless he or she irrevocably elects otherwise. Non-spousal beneficiary
life expectancies will be determined using the beneficiary's attained age
in the calendar year distributions are required to begin and reducing
life expectancy by one for each year thereafter.
3. TAKING REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ONE IRA:
AGGREGATING MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS: If you are required to take minimum
distributions from more than one IRA (either as owner of one or more
Regular IRAs and/or as a beneficiary of one or more decedent's Roth IRAs
or Regular IRAs), you may not have to take a minimum distribution from
each IRA. (Regular and Roth IRAs are treated as different types of IRAs,
so minimum distributions from a Roth IRA will not satisfy the minimum
distributions required from a Regular IRA). Instead, you may be able to
calculate the minimum distribution amount required for each IRA
(considered to be of the same type) separately, add the relevant amounts
and take the total required amount from one IRA or Roth IRA (as
applicable). However, an individual required to receive minimum
distributions as a beneficiary under a Roth IRA can only satisfy the
minimum distributions for one Roth IRA by receiving distributions from
another Roth IRA if the Roth IRAs were inherited from the same decedent.
Because of these requirements, ANLIC cannot monitor the required
distribution amounts from ANLIC IRAs. Please check with your tax advisor
to verify that you are receiving the proper amount from all of your IRAs.
PART III. RESTRICTIONS AND TAX CONSIDERATIONS:
A. TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS: Once you establish an IRA, (including a Roth or
Spousal Roth IRA) contributions must be made by the due date, not including
extensions, for filing your tax return. (Participant Rollovers must be made
within 60 days of your receipt of the distribution.) A CONTRIBUTION MADE
BETWEEN JANUARY 1 AND THE FILING DUE DATE FOR YOUR RETURN, MUST BE SUBMITTED
WITH WRITTEN DIRECTION THAT IT IS BEING MADE FOR THE PRIOR TAX YEAR OR IT
WILL BE TREATED AS MADE FOR THE CURRENT TAX YEAR. SEP IRA contributions must
be made by the due date of the Employer's tax return (including extensions).
SIMPLE
IRA contributions, if permitted, must be made by the tax return due date for
the employer (including extensions) for the year for which the contribution
is made. Note, an employer is required to make SIMPLE plan contributions
attributable to employee elective contributions as soon as it is
administratively feasible to segregate these contributions from the
employer's general assets, but in no event later than the 30th day of the
month following the month in which the amounts would have otherwise been
payable to the employee in cash.
B. TIMING OF ROTH IRA CONVERSIONS: Conversions from a non-Roth IRA to a Roth
IRA for a tax year, MUST BE INITIATED SO THAT THE DISTRIBUTION OR TRANSFER
FROM THE NON-ROTH IRA IS MADE BY DECEMBER 31 OF THAT YEAR. YOU DO NOT HAVE
UNTIL THE DUE DATE OF YOUR TAX RETURN FOR A YEAR TO CONVERT A REGULAR IRA TO
A ROTH IRA FOR THAT TAX YEAR. For example, if
QD 5
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
you wish to convert a Regular IRA to a Roth IRA in 1998, the conversion and
transfer must be made by December 31, 1998, even though your tax return for
1998 may not be due until April 15, 1999.
C. DEDUCTIBLE IRA CONTRIBUTIONS: The amount of permissible contributions to
your Regular IRA may or may not be deductible. If you or your spouse are not
active participants in an employer sponsored retirement plan, any
permissible contribution you make to your IRA will be deductible. If you or
your spouse are an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement
plan, the size of your deduction if any, will depend on your combined
adjusted gross income (AGI).
If you are not an active participant in an employer sponsored plan, but your
spouse is an active participant, you may take a full deduction for your IRA
contribution (other than to a Roth IRA) if your AGI is below $150,000; if
you are not an active participant but your spouse is, the maximum deductible
contribution for you is phased out at AGIs between $150,000 and $160,000.
If you are an active participant in an employer sponsored requirement plan
you may make deductible contributions if your AGI is below a threshold level
of income. For single taxpayers and married taxpayers (who are filing
jointly and are both active participants) the available deduction is reduced
proportionately over a phaseout range. If you are married and an active
participant in an employer retirement plan, but file a separate tax return
from your spouse, your deduction is phased out between $0 and $10,000 of
AGI.
If your AGI is not above the maximum applicable phase out level, a minimum
contribution of $200 is permitted regardless of whether the phase out rules
provide for a lesser amount.
Active participants with income above the phaseout range are not entitled to
an IRA deduction. Due to changes made by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997,
the phaseout limits are scheduled to increase as follows:
Married filing Single/Head
Year Jointly of Household
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AGI AGI
1998.........................$50,000 - $60,000............$30,000 - $40,000
1999.........................$51,000 - $61,000............$31,000 - $41,000
2000.........................$52,000 - $62,000............$32,000 - $42,000
2001.........................$53,000 - $63,000............$33,000 - $43,000
2002.........................$54,000 - $64,000............$34,000 - $44,000
2003.........................$60,000 - $70,000............$40,000 - $50,000
2004.........................$65,000 - $75,000............$45,000 - $55,000
2005.........................$70,000 - $80,000............$50,000 - $60,000
2006.........................$75,000 - $85,000............$50,000 - $60,000
2007 and thereafter..........$80,000 - $100,000...........$50,000 - $60,000
You can elect to treat deductible contributions as non-deductible. SEP IRA,
SARSEP, SIMPLE IRA and Roth IRA contributions are not deductible by you.
Remember, except for rollovers, conversions or transfers, the maximum amount
you may contribute to all IRAs (including Roth and Regular IRAs, but not
Education IRAs) for a calendar year is $2,000 or 100% of compensation,
whichever is less.
D. NON-DEDUCTIBLE REGULAR IRA CONTRIBUTIONS: It is possible for you to make
non-deductible contributions to your Regular IRA (not including SIMPLE IRAs)
even if you are not eligible to make deductible contributions to a Regular
IRA or non- deductible contributions to a Roth IRA for the year. The amount
of non-deductible contributions you can make depends on the amount of
deductible contributions you make. The sum of your non-deductible and
deductible contributions for a year may not exceed the lesser of (1) $2,000
($4,000 combined when a Spousal IRA is also involved), or (2) 100% of your
compensation (or, if a Spousal IRA is involved, 100% of you and your
spouse's combined compensation, reduced by the amount of any deductible IRA
contribution and non-deductible Roth IRA contribution made by the "working"
spouse). For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1998, the sum of
your annual non-deductible (including Roth IRA) and deductible
contributions, other than when combined with a Spousal IRA or Spousal Roth
IRA, may not exceed $2,000. IF YOU WISH TO MAKE A NON-DEDUCTIBLE
CONTRIBUTION, YOU MUST REPORT THIS ON YOUR TAX RETURN BY FILING FORM 8606
(NON- DEDUCTIBLE IRA). REMEMBER, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR
NON-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS AS ANLIC DOES NOT KEEP A RECORD OF THESE FOR
YOU. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE NECESSARY TO DOCUMENT THAT THE CONTRIBUTIONS
WERE MADE ON A NON-DEDUCTIBLE BASIS AND THEREFORE, ARE NOT TAXABLE UPON
DISTRIBUTION.
E. EFFECTS OF CONVERSION OF REGULAR IRA TO ROTH IRA: If you convert all or part
of a non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA, the amount converted from the non-Roth IRA
will be taxable as if it had been distributed to you in the year of
distribution or transfer from the non-Roth IRA. If you made non-deductible
contributions to any Regular IRA, part of the amount taken out of a Regular
IRA for conversion will be taxable and part will be non-taxable. (Use IRS
Form 8606 to determine how much of the withdrawal from your Regular IRA is
taxable and how much is non-taxable). The taxable portion of the amount
converted is includable in your income for the year of conversion. However,
if the conversion takes place in 1998, or if the conversion amount is
distributed in 1998 and contributed to a Roth IRA within 60 days, one
quarter of the taxable amount will be includable in your income in 1998 and
in each of the next three tax years. However, an individual who makes a
conversion prior to January 1, 1999, can elect to include the full taxable
conversion amount in income for 1998. This election is made on IRS Form 8606
by the individual and cannot be made or changed after the due date
(including extensions) for filing the 1998 Federal income tax return. If a
taxpayer dies before the end of the 4-year spread, the taxable portion of
the conversion amount which has not been included in income will generally
be taxable in the year of the taxpayer's death. However, if the sole
beneficiary of the Roth IRA is the surviving spouse, he or she can elect to
continue the 4-year spread. In addition, if the 4-year spread rule is
utilized for 1998 conversions, any distributions of amounts subject to the
4-year spread occurring before 2001, will require acceleration of income
inclusion as explained in the section which follows on TAXABILITY OF ROTH
IRA DISTRIBUTIONS. (SEE PART III. J.)
QD 6
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
Amounts properly converted from a non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA are generally
not subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty. However, if you make a
conversion to a Roth IRA, but keep part of the money for any reason, that
amount will be taxable in the year distributed from the non-Roth IRA and the
taxable portion may be subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty. In
addition, under 1998 technical corrections, if an amount allocable to a
conversion contribution is distributed from the Roth IRA during the 5-year
period (beginning with the first day of the individual's taxable year in
which the conversion contribution was made), it will be subject to a
10-percent premature distribution penalty tax (but only to the extent the
conversion amount distributed was includable in gross income as a result of
the conversion).
You should consult with your tax advisor to ensure that you receive the tax
benefits you desire before you contribute to a Roth IRA, convert to a Roth
IRA or take distributions from a Roth IRA. IT WILL ALSO BE IMPORTANT FOR YOU
TO KEEP TRACK OF AND REPORT ANY REGULAR OR CONVERSION CONTRIBUTIONS YOU MAKE
TO YOUR ROTH IRAS AS REQUIRED BY THE IRS.
F. RECHARACTARIZATION OF IRA AND ROTH IRA CONTRIBUTIONS: IRA owners are
permitted, beginning in 1998, to treat a contribution made to one type of
IRA as made to a different type of IRA for a taxable year in a process known
as "recharactarization". A recharactarization is accomplished by an
individual who has made a contribution to an IRA of one type for a taxable
year, electing to treat the contribution as having been made to a second IRA
of a different type for the taxable year. To accomplish the
recharactarization, a trustee-to-trustee transfer from the first IRA to the
second IRA must be made on or before the due date (including extensions) for
filing the individual's Federal income tax return for the taxable year for
which the contribution was made to the first IRA. HOWEVER, IN ANNOUNCEMENT
99-57, THE IRS HAS INDICATED THAT A CALENDAR YEAR TAXPAYER THAT HAS TIMELY
FILED HIS 1998 FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN, CAN ELECT TO RECHARACTERIZE A 1998
IRA CONTRIBUTION, INCLUDING A ROTH IRA CONVERSION, PROVIDED APPROPRIATE
CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TAKEN BY OCTOBER 15, 199. APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION
MAY INCLUDE NOTIFYING THE TRUSTEE OR ISSUER; HAVING THE TRUSTEE OR ISSUER
ACTUALLY MAKING THE TRANSFER OR ACCOUNT PREDESIGNATION; AND FILING AN
AMENDED 1998 FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN TO REFLECT THE RECHARACTERIZATION.
Any net income attributable to a recharacterized contribution must also be
transferred to the second IRA. Once the transfer is made, the election is
irrevocable. The effect of recharacterizing a contribution is that it is
treated as having been originally contributed to the second IRA on the same
date and (in the case of a regular contribution) for the same taxable year
that the contribution was made to the first IRA. If you elect to
recharacterize a contribution, you must report the recharactarization and
treat the contribution as having been made to the second IRA, instead of the
first, on your Federal income tax return.
Examples of where a recharactarization election might be useful or desired
include: where an individual discovers he was ineligible to convert a
regular IRA to a Roth IRA because his adjusted gross income exceeded
$100,000; amounts were erroneously rolled over from a traditional IRA to a
SIMPLE IRA; or an individual decides after he has made a contribution to a
regular IRA for a tax year that he is eligible for and prefers to contribute
to a Roth IRA, or vice versa. Recharacterizations are not permitted where a
deduction has been taken for the contribution to the first IRA; the
contribution to the first IRA was the result of a tax-free transfer or; the
original contribution was an employer contribution to a SIMPLE or SEP IRA.
Also, the IRS has issued interim guidance that indicates amounts
recharacterized from a conversion Roth IRA to a Regular IRA, may be
"reconverted" to a Roth IRA one time in 1998 after November 1, 1998; and one
time in 1999. RECONVERSIONS ARE PERMITTED UNDER INTERIM GUIDANCE FROM THE
IRS IN EFFECT IN DECEMBER OF 1998, AND THESE RULES MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE
ON A PROSPECTIVE BASIS. CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR BEFORE ATTEMPTING A
"RECONVERSION".
G. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS: There is a 6% IRS penalty tax on IRA contributions
made in excess of permissible contribution limits. However, excess
contributions made in one year may be applied against the contribution
limits in a later year if the contributions in the later year are less than
the limit. This penalty tax can be avoided if the excess amount, together
with any earnings on it, is returned to you before the due date of your tax
return for the year for which the excess amount was contributed. Any
earnings so distributed will be taxable in the year for which the
contribution was made and may be subject to the 10% premature distribution
penalty tax (SEE PART III, PREMATURE IRA DISTRIBUTIONS). The 6% excess
contribution penalty tax will apply to each year the excess amount remains
in the IRA Plan, until it is removed either by having it returned to you or
by making a reduced contribution in a subsequent year. To the extent an
excess contribution is absorbed in a subsequent year by contributing less
than the maximum deduction allowable for that year, the amount absorbed will
be deductible in the year applied (provided you are eligible to take a
deduction). If a taxpayer transfers amounts contributed for a tax year to a
Regular IRA (and any earnings allocated to such amounts) to a Roth IRA by
the due date for filing the return for such tax year (including extensions),
the amounts are not included in the taxpayer's gross income to the extent
that no deduction was allowed for the contribution (see PART III. F.
RECHARACTARIZATION OF IRA AND ROTH IRA CONTRIBUTIONS ABOVE).
EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS TO A ROTH IRA: If you are ineligible and convert a
Regular IRA to a Roth IRA, all or a part of the amount you convert may be an
excess contribution. (Examples may include conversions made when your Roth
AGI exceeds $100,000 or because you fail to timely make the rollover
contribution from the Regular IRA to the Roth IRA). In tax years after 1999,
you may also have an excess contribution if your conversion is a "failed
conversion" that is not timely corrected. You will have an excess
contribution if the ineligible amounts you convert and the contributions you
make to all your IRAs for the tax year exceed your IRA contribution limits
for the year. To avoid the 6% excise tax on excess contributions, you must
withdraw the excess contributions plus earnings before the due date of your
tax return (plus extensions) or recharacterize the contribution, if
permitted (SEE PART III. F. RECHARACTERIZATION OF IRA AND ROTH IRA
CONTRIBUTIONS ABOVE).
H. LOANS AND PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS: You may not borrow from your IRA Plan
(including Roth IRAs) or pledge it as security for a loan. A loan would
disqualify your entire IRA Plan, and its full value(or taxable portions of
your Roth IRA or non-deductible Regular IRA) would be includable in your
taxable income in the year of violation. This amount would also be subject
to the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions. Your IRA Plan will
similarly be disqualified if you or your beneficiary engage in any
transaction prohibited by Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. A
pledge of your IRA as security for a loan will cause a constructive
distribution of the portion pledged and also be subject to the 10% penalty
tax.
I. TAXABILITY OF REGULAR IRA DISTRIBUTIONS: Any cash distribution from your IRA
Plan, other than a Roth IRA, is normally taxable as ordinary income. All
IRAs of an individual are treated as one contract. All distributions during
a taxable year are treated as one distribution; and the value of the
contract, income on the contract, and investment in the contract is computed
QD 7
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
as of the close of the calendar year with or within which the taxable year
ends. If an individual withdraws an amount from an IRA during a taxable year
and the individual has previously made both deductible and non-deductible
IRA contributions, the amount excludable from income for the taxable year is
the portion of the amount withdrawn which bears the same ratio to the amount
withdrawn for the taxable year as the individual's aggregate non-deductible
IRA contributions bear to the balance of all IRAs of the individual.
J. TAXABILITY OF ROTH IRA DISTRIBUTIONS: "Qualified distributions" from a Roth
IRA are not included in the taxpayer's gross income and are not subject to
the additional ten percent (10%) early withdrawal penalty tax. To be a
"qualified distribution," the distribution must satisfy a five-year holding
period and meet one of the following four requirements: (1) be made on or
after the date on which the individual attains age 591/2; (2) be made to a
beneficiary or the individual's estate on or after the individual's death;
(3) be attributable to the individual being disabled; or (4) be a
distribution to pay for a "qualified" first-time home purchase (up to a
lifetime limit of $10,000). The five-year holding period for escaping
inclusion in income begins with the first day of the tax year in which any
contribution (including a conversion from a Regular IRA) is made to a Roth
IRA of the taxpayer. If the Roth IRA owner dies, this 5-taxable-year period
is not redetermined for the Roth IRA while it is held in the name of a
beneficiary or a surviving spouse who treats the decedent's Roth IRA as his
or her own. However, a surviving spouse who treats the Roth IRA as his or
her own, must receive any distributions as coming from the surviving
spouse's own Roth IRA, thus it cannot be treated as being received by a
beneficiary on or after the owner's death for purposes of determining
whether the distribution is a "qualified distribution".
If a distribution from a Roth IRA is not a "qualified distribution" and it
includes earnings, the earnings distributed are includable in taxable income
and may be subject to the 10% premature distribution penalty if the taxpayer
is under age 59 1/2. Also, the 10% premature distribution penalty tax may
apply to conversion amounts distributed even though they are not includable
in income, if the distribution is made within the 5-taxable-year period
beginning on the first day of the individual's taxable year in which the
conversion contribution was made. Only the portion of the conversion
includable in income as a result of the conversion would be subject to the
penalty tax under this rule. The 5-taxable-year period for this purpose is
determined separately for each conversion contribution and may not be the
same as the 5-taxable-year period used to determine whether a distribution
from a Roth IRA is a "qualified distribution" or not. FOR THIS REASON , IT
IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP TRACK OF WHEN YOUR CONVERSION CONTRIBUTIONS ARE
MADE TO YOUR ROTH IRA. (SEE PART III. L., PREMATURE IRA DISTRIBUTIONS).
Unlike Regular IRAs, distributions from Roth IRAs come first from regular
contributions, then converted amounts on a first-in first-out basis, and
last from earnings. Any distributions made before 2001 which are
attributable to 1998 conversion contributions for which the 4-year
income-tax spread is being utilized, will result in an acceleration of
taxable income in the year of distribution up to the amount of the
distribution allocable to the 1998 conversion. This amount is in addition to
the amount otherwise includable in gross income for that taxable year as a
result of the conversion, but not in excess of the amount required to be
included over the 4-year period. This tax treatment would likewise apply in
the case of distributions made by a surviving spouse who elects to continue
the 4-year spread on death of the original owner of the Roth IRA.
Generally, all Roth IRAs (both regular Roth IRAs and Roth Conversion IRAs)
must be treated as one for purposes of determining the taxation of
distributions. However, if a Roth IRA is held by an individual as
beneficiary of a deceased Roth IRA owner, the 5-taxable-year period used to
determine whether distributions are qualified or not is determined
independently of the 5-year-taxable period for the beneficiary's own Roth
IRAs. However, if a surviving spouse elects to treat the Roth IRA as his or
her own, the 5-year-taxable period for all of the surviving spouse's Roth
IRAs is the earlier of the end of either the 5-taxable-year period for the
decedent or that applicable to the surviving spouse's own Roth IRAs.
THE RULES FOR TAXING NON-QUALIFIED DISTRIBUTIONS AND PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS
OF CONVERSION AMOUNTS FROM A ROTH IRA ARE COMPLEX. TO ENSURE THAT YOU
RECEIVE THE TAX RESULT YOU DESIRE, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR
BEFORE TAKING A DISTRIBUTION FROM A ROTH IRA.
K. LUMP SUM DISTRIBUTION: If you decide to receive the entire value of your IRA
Plan in one lump sum, the full amount is taxable when received (except as to
non-deductible contributions to a Regular IRA or to a Roth IRA, or
"qualified distributions" from a Roth IRA), and is not eligible for the
special 5 or 10 year averaging tax rules under Code Section 402 on lump sum
distributions which are used with other types of Qualified Retirement Plans.
L. PREMATURE IRA DISTRIBUTIONS: There is a 10% penalty tax on taxable amounts
distributed from your IRA (including the taxable portion of any
non-qualified distributions from a Roth IRA, or if you receive a
distribution of conversion amounts within the five-year period beginning
with the year of the conversion, any amounts distributed that were
originally taxable as a result of the conversion) prior to the attainment of
age 591/2, except for: (1) distributions made to a beneficiary on or after
the owner's death; (2) distributions attributable to the owner's being
disabled as defined in Code Section 72(m)(7); (3) distributions that are
part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (made at least
annually) for the life of the annuitant or the joint lives of the annuitant
and his or her beneficiary; (4) distributions made on or after January 1,
1997 for medical expenses which exceed 7.5% of the annuitant's adjusted
gross income; (5) distributions made on or after January 1, 1997, to
purchase health insurance for the individual and/or his or her spouse and
dependents if he or she: (a) has received unemployment compensation for 12
consecutive weeks or more; (b) the distributions are made during the tax
year that the unemployment compensation is paid or the following tax year;
and (c) the individual has not been re-employed for 60 days or more; (6)
distributions made on or after January 1, 1998 for certain qualified higher
education expenses of the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, or any child or
grandchild of the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse; or (7) qualified
first-time home buyer distributions made on or after January 1, 1998 (up to
a lifetime maximum of $10,000) used within 120 days of withdrawal to buy,
build or rebuild a first home that is the principal residence of the
individual, his or her spouse, or any child, grandchild, or ancestor of the
individual or spouse. Generally, the part of a distribution attributable to
non-deductible contributions is not includable in income and is not subject
to the 10% penalty. (BUT SEE ROTH IRA EXCEPTIONS BELOW). Also, beginning
January 1, 2000, distributions to satisfy a levy issued by the IRS will also
be exempt from the 10% penalty tax.
Distributions from a SIMPLE Plan during the two-year period beginning on the
date the employee first participated in the employer's SIMPLE Plan will be
subject to a 25% (rather than 10%) premature distribution penalty tax.
QD 8
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
Distributions from a Roth IRA made before the expiration of the applicable 5
year holding period (SEE TAXABILITY OF ROTH IRA DISTRIBUTIONS) are not
treated as qualified distributions and are subject to the 10% penalty tax to
the extent they are includable in taxable income. In addition, any
conversion amounts distributed within the five-year period beginning with
the year in which the conversion occurred, are subject to the 10% penalty
tax even if the distribution is not currently taxable as income, unless one
of the above mentioned exceptions to the penalty tax applies. The penalty
tax will only apply to the amount of the conversion that was includable in
income as a result of the conversion (i.e., it will not apply to
non-deductible contributions that were converted from the Regular IRA).
M. MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS: SEE PART II. F.1. AND F.2., NON-ROTH IRA
MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS and ROTH IRA MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION
REQUIREMENTS. If a minimum distribution is not made from your IRA (including
a Roth IRA) for a tax year in which it is required, the excess, in any
taxable year, of the amount that should have been distributed over the
amount that was actually distributed is subject to an excise tax of 50%.
N. GIFT AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES: The designation of a beneficiary to
receive funds from a Regular or a Roth IRA is not considered a transfer
subject to federal gift taxes. However, funds remaining in your IRA (Regular
or Roth) at the time of your death are includable in your federal gross
estate for tax purposes. In addition, if the owner of an IRA or Roth IRA
transfers his or her IRA or Roth IRA to another individual by gift, the gift
will be considered an assignment and cause the assets of the IRA or Roth IRA
to be deemed distributed to the owner, and will no longer be treated as held
in the IRA. The IRS has indicated that for gifts of a Roth IRA made prior to
October 1, 1998, if the entire interest in the Roth IRA is reconveyed to the
original Roth IRA owner prior to January 1, 1999, the IRS will disregard the
gift and reconveyance for most tax purposes.
O. MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS: The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 repealed both the 15%
excess accumulation estate tax and excess distribution excise tax which
previously applied to excess retirement plan accumulations at death and
excess lifetime retirement plan distributions. These rules are repealed for
plan distributions made and decedents who die after December 31, 1996.
P. TAX FILING-REGULAR IRAS: You are not required to file a special IRA tax form
for any taxable year (1) for which no penalty tax is imposed with respect to
the IRA Plan, and (2) in which the only activities engaged in, with respect
to the IRA Plan, are making deductible contributions and receiving
permissible distributions. Information regarding such contributions or
distributions will be included on your regular Form 1040. In some years, you
may be required to file Form 5329 and/or Form 8606 in connection with your
Regular IRA. Form 5329 is filed as an attachment to Form 1040 or 1040A for
any tax year that special penalty taxes apply to your IRA. If you make
non-deductible contributions to a regular IRA, you must designate those
contributions as non-deductible on Form 8606 and attach it to your Form 1040
or 1040A. There is a $100 penalty each time you overstate the amount of your
non-deductible contributions unless you can prove the overstatement was due
to reasonable cause. Additional information is required on Form 8606 in
years you receive a distribution from a Regular IRA. There is a $50 penalty
for each failure to file a required Form 8606 unless you can prove the
failure was due to reasonable cause. For further information, consult the
instructions for Form 5329 (Additional Taxes Attributable to Qualified
Retirement Plans (including IRAs), Annuities, and Modified Endowment
Contracts), Form 8606 and IRS Publication 590.
Q. TAX FILING-ROTH IRA: It is your responsibility to keep records of your
regular and conversion contributions to a Roth IRA and to file any income
tax forms the Internal Revenue Service may require of you as a Roth IRA
owner. You will need this information to calculate your taxable income if
any, when distributions from the Roth IRA begin. For example, conversion
contributions must be reported to the Service on Form 8606. Form 5329 is
required to be filed to the Service by you to report and remit any penalty
or excise taxes. Consult the instructions to your tax return or your tax
advisor for additional reporting requirements that may apply.
R. TAX ADVICE: ANLIC is providing this general information as required by
regulations issued under the Internal Revenue Code and assumes no
responsibility for its application to your particular tax situation. Please
consult with your personal tax advisor regarding specific questions you may
have.
With respect to ROTH IRAS, you should be aware that Congress has recently
enacted legislation that substantially revises the rules relating to
distributions from and conversions to Roth IRAs which applies retroactive to
January 1, 1998. Because of this, and because guidance regarding these
changes has just recently been finalized by the Internal Revenue Service,
you should consult with a tax advisor prior to establishing, making
contributions to, or taking distributions from a Roth IRA, to ensure that
you receive the tax result you anticipate.
S. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: You may obtain more information about IRA Plans from
any district office of the IRS and IRS Publication 590.
PART IV. STATUS OF ANLIC IRA PLAN:
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE APPROVAL LETTER: ANLIC has received approval from the
Internal Revenue Service as to the form of Allocator 2000 Annuity (Form 850-000
3-96), for use in funding Regular IRA plans. It has also been approved as to
form for use in funding a SIMPLE IRA. It has not, however, been submitted to the
IRS for approval of its use as a Roth IRA, but it is expected that it will be in
due course. You may be required to accept a revised Roth IRA endorsement if the
IRS requires changes to your issued Roth IRA endorsement during the IRS approval
process. Such approval, when received, is a determination only as to the form of
the Annuity Contract, and does not represent a determination of the merits of
the annuity.
PART V. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE:
The following is a general description and required financial disclosure
information for the variable annuity product, Allocator 2000 Annuity (Form
850-000 3-96) offered by ANLIC, hereafter referred to as the policy.
In order for you to achieve your retirement objectives, you should be prepared
to make your IRA Plan a long term savings program. An IRA is not suited to
short-term savings, nor was it intended to be by Congress, as indicated by the
general rule that
QD 9
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE/ROTH
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY: 2/2000
<PAGE>
penalties apply to withdrawals before age 59 1/2, subject to certain exceptions
(SEE PART III; PREMATURE IRA DISTRIBUTIONS). However, you should be aware of the
values in your IRA Plan during the early years as well as at retirement.
Prior to the annuity date, the policy allows you to accumulate funds based on
the investment experience of the assets underlying the policy in the Variable
Account or the Fixed Account. Currently, the assets which underlie the Variable
Account are invested exclusively in shares of mutual funds, the "Funds", managed
or administered by several fund managers. Each of the Subaccounts of the
Variable Account invest solely in the corresponding portfolio of the Funds. The
assets of each portfolio are held separately from the other portfolios and each
has distinct investment objectives which are described in the accompanying
prospectus for the Funds which you would have received when making the purchase
of your annuity. The accumulation value of your IRA Plan allocated to the
Variable Account will vary in accordance with the investment performance of the
Subaccounts you selected. Therefore, for assets in the Variable Account, you
bear the entire investment risk prior to the annuity date.
Premium payments and subsequent allocations to the Fixed Account are placed in
the general account of ANLIC which supports insurance and annuity obligations.
Policyowners are paid interest on the amounts placed in the Fixed Account at
guaranteed rates (4.0%) or at higher rates declared by ANLIC.
ACCUMULATION VALUE: On the effective date, the accumulation value of the policy
is equal to the premium received, reduced by any applicable premium taxes.
Thereafter, the accumulation value of the policy is determined as of the close
of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each valuation date by multiplying
the number of accumulation units for each Subaccount credited to the policy by
the current value of an accumulation unit for each Subaccount, and by adding the
amount deposited in the Fixed Account, plus interest. The current value of an
accumulation unit reflects the increase or decrease in value due to investment
results of the Subaccount and certain charges, as described below. The number of
accumulation units credited to the policy is decreased by any annual policy fee,
any withdrawals and any charges upon withdrawal and, upon annuitization, any
applicable premium taxes and charges.
A valuation period is the period between successive valuation dates. It begins
at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each valuation date
and ends at the close of trading on the next succeeding valuation date. A
valuation date is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business.
The accumulation value is expected to change from valuation period to valuation
period, reflecting the net investment experience of the selected portfolios of
the Funds, interest earned in the Fixed Account, additional premium payments,
partial withdrawals, as well as the deduction of any applicable charges under
the policy. GROWTH IN THE ACCUMULATION VALUE BASED ON INVESTMENTS IN THE
VARIABLE ACCOUNT IS NEITHER GUARANTEED NOR PROJECTED.
VALUE OF ACCUMULATION UNITS: The accumulation units of each Subaccount are
valued separately. The value of an accumulation unit may change each valuation
period according to the net investment performance of the shares purchased by
each Subaccount and the daily charge under the policy for mortality and expense
risks, any daily administrative fee, and if applicable, any federal and state
income tax charges.
CASH SURRENDER VALUE: The amount available for full or partial withdrawal, which
is the accumulation value less any contingent deferred sales charge, any
applicable premium taxes, and, in the case of a full withdrawal, the annual
policy fee.
ANNUAL POLICY FEE: An annual policy fee of $42 is deducted from the accumulation
value on the last valuation date of each policy year and on a full withdrawal if
between policy anniversaries. This charge reimburses ANLIC for the
administrative costs of maintaining the policy on ANLIC's system. ANLIC
currently waives this fee if the policy account value exceeds $50,000 at the
time the fee would be imposed.
DAILY ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE: A daily charge at an annual rate of 0.10%
of the accumulation value. This charge is subtracted when determining the daily
accumulation unit value. This charge, which is guaranteed not to be increased,
is designed to reimburse ANLIC for administrative expenses incurred in
connection with issuing the policy and ongoing administrative expenses incurred
in connection with servicing and maintaining the policies. These expenses
include the cost of processing the application and premium payment, establishing
policy records, processing and servicing owner transactions and policy changes,
recordkeeping, preparing and mailing reports, processing death benefit claims,
and overhead costs. No administrative expense charge is deducted from the amount
in the Fixed Account.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: ANLIC imposes a charge to compensate it for
bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the policies. For assuming
these risks, ANLIC makes a daily charge equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the
value of the average daily net assets of the Account during the first 15 years
of the policy. Beginning in the 16th policy year, this charge is reduced by
0.05% annually until it reaches 0.50% annually in policy year 30. The rate
remains level thereafter. This charge is subtracted when determining the daily
accumulation unit value. ANLIC guarantees that this charge will never increase.
If this charge is insufficient to cover assumed risks, the loss will fall on
ANLIC. Conversely, if the charge proves more than sufficient, any excess will be
added to ANLIC's surplus. No mortality and expense risk charge is imposed on the
Fixed Account.
TAXES: ANLIC will, where such taxes are imposed by state law upon the receipt of
a premium payment, deduct premium taxes. If premium taxes are imposed upon
annuitization, ANLIC will deduct applicable premium taxes at that time.
Applicable premium tax rates depend upon such factors as the policyowner's
current state of residency, and the insurance laws and the status of ANLIC in
states where premium taxes are incurred. Applicable premium tax rates are
subject to change by legislation, administrative interpretations, or judicial
acts. The owner will be notified of any applicable premium taxes.
PARTIAL AND FULL WITHDRAWALS: The owner may make a partial or a full withdrawal
of the policy to receive part or all of the accumulation value (less any
applicable charges), at any time before the annuity date and while the annuitant
is living, by sending a written request to ANLIC. Partial withdrawals may be
either systematic or elective. Systematic withdrawals provide for an automatic
withdrawal, whereas, each elective withdrawal must be elected by the owner.
Systematic partial withdrawals are available on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual mode. This withdrawal right may be restricted by Section
403(b)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code if the annuity is used in connection
with a Section 403(b) retirement plan. No partial or full withdrawals may be
made after the annuity date except as permitted under the particular annuity
option. The amount available for a full or partial withdrawal (cash surrender
value) is the accumulation value at the end of the valuation period during which
the written request for withdrawal is received, less any contingent deferred
sales charge, any applicable premium taxes, and in the case of a full
withdrawal, less the annual policy fee that would be due on the last valuation
date of the policy year. The cash surrender value may be paid in a lump sum to
the owner, or, if elected, all or any part may be paid out under an annuity
income option.

SURRENDER CHARGE: Since no deduction for a sales charge is made from the premium
payment, a surrender charge is imposed on certain partial and full withdrawals,
and upon certain annuitizations to cover certain expenses relating to the
distribution of the policies, including commissions to registered
representatives and other promotional expenses.
The charge will be a percentage of the premium payments withdrawn or annuitized.

You may withdraw, in a policy year, 100% of the earnings since the last policy
anniversary plus 10% of the policy account value at the time of the withdrawal,
free of a surrender charges. In addition, you may withdraw 10% of deposits minus
withdrawals made in a policy year without surrender charges. Surrender charges
are assessed only on premiums paid based upon the number of years since the
policy year in which the premiums withdrawn were paid, on a first-paid,
first-withdrawn basis.
In the case of a partial withdrawal or annuitization, the surrender charge will
be deducted from the amounts remaining under the policy. The charge will be
allocated pro rata among the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account based on the
accumulation value in each prior to the withdrawal or annuitization unless an
owner requests a partial withdrawal or annuitization from particular Subaccounts
or the Fixed Account, in which case the charge will be allocated among those
Subaccounts or the Fixed Account in the same manner as the withdrawal. In the
case of a full withdrawal or annuitization, the surrender charge is deducted
from the amount paid to the owner. ANLIC may waive surrender charges under
certain conditions.
SALES COMMISSIONS: No deductions are made from the premium payments for sales
charges. To offset the costs of compensation and distribution expenses, a
surrender charge as described above is imposed on certain partial and full
withdrawals.

INFORMATION STATEMENT
401(A) PENSION/PROFIT SHARING PLANS
403(B) ERISA PLANS
For purchasers of a 401(a) Pension/Profit Sharing Plan, or 403(b) ERISA Plan,
the purpose of this statement is to inform you as an independent Fiduciary of
the Employee Benefit Plan, of the Sales Representative's relationship to and
compensation from Acacia National Life Insurance Company (ANLIC), as well as to
describe certain fees and charges under the Allocator 2000 Annuity (Form 850-000
3-96) being purchased from the Sales Representative.
The Sales Representative is appointed with ANLIC as its Sales Representative and
is a Securities Registered Representative. In this position, the Sales
Representative is employed to procure and submit to ANLIC applications for
contracts, including applications for the Allocator 2000 Annuity.
COMMISSIONS, FEES AND CHARGES
The following commissions, fees and charges apply to the Allocator 2000 Annuity
(policy):
SALES COMMISSION: No deductions are made from the premium payments for sales
charges. Commissions paid by the Company to broker-dealers may vary, but are not
expected to exceed 1% of premiums paid. Broker-dealers may also receive asset
based administrative compensation of up to 1% (annualized). From time to time,
additional sales incentives may be provided to broker-dealers.
ANNUAL POLICY FEE: An annual policy fee of $42 is deducted from the accumulation
value on the last valuation date of each policy year and on a full withdrawal if
between policy anniversaries. This charge reimburses ANLIC for the
administrative costs of maintaining the policy on ANLIC's system. ANLIC
currently waives this fee if the policy account value exceeds $50,000 at the
time the fee would be imposed.
DAILY ADMINISTRATIVE FEE: The daily administrative fee is a daily charge at an
annual rate of 0.10% of the accumulation value. This charge is guaranteed not to
increase and is designed to reimburse ANLIC for administrative expenses of
issuing, servicing and maintaining the policies. ANLIC does not expect to make a
profit on this fee.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: ANLIC imposes a charge to compensate it for
bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the policies. For assuming
these risks, ANLIC makes a daily charge equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the
value of the average daily net assets of the Account during the first 15 years
of the policy. Beginning in the 16th policy year, this charge is reduced by
0.05% annually until it reaches 0.50% annually in policy year 30. The rate
remains level thereafter. This charge is subtracted when determining the daily
accumulation unit value. ANLIC guarantees that this charge will never increase.
If this charge is insufficient to cover assumed risks, the loss will fall on
ANLIC. Conversely, if the charge proves more than sufficient, any excess will be
added to ANLIC's surplus. No mortality and expense risk charge is imposed on the
Fixed Account.
PARTIAL AND FULL WITHDRAWALS: The policyowner may make a partial or a full
withdrawal of the policy to receive part or all of the accumulation value (less
any applicable charges), at any time before the annuity date and while the
annuitant is living by sending a written request to ANLIC. Partial withdrawals
may be either systematic or elective. Systematic withdrawals provide for an
automatic withdrawal, whereas, each elective withdrawal must be elected by the
owner. Systematic partial withdrawals are available only on an annual mode. No
partial or full withdrawals may be made after the annuity date except as
permitted under the particular annuity option or as may be permitted under the
Plan and the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations. The amount
available for partial or full withdrawal (cash surrender value) is the
accumulation value at the end of the valuation period during which the written
request for withdrawal is received, less any contingent deferred sales charge,
any applicable premium taxes, and in the case of a full withdrawal, the annual
policy fee that would be due on the last valuation date of the policy year. The
cash surrender value may be paid in a lump sum to the owner, or if elected, all
or any part may be paid out under an annuity income option.
SURRENDER CHARGE: Since no deduction for a sales charge is made from the premium
payment, a surrender charge is imposed on certain partial and full withdrawals,
and upon certain annuitizations to cover certain expenses relating to the
distribution of the policies, including commissions to registered
representatives and other promotional expenses.
The charge will be a percentage of the premium payments withdrawn or annuitized.

allocated pro rata among the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account based on the
accumulation value in each prior to the withdrawal or annuitization unless an
owner requests a partial withdrawal or annuitization from particular Subaccounts
or the Fixed Account, in which case the charge will be allocated among those
Subaccounts or the Fixed Account in the same manner as the withdrawal. In the
case of a full withdrawal or annuitization, the surrender charge is deducted

certain conditions.
TAXES: ANLIC will deduct premium taxes upon receipt of a premium payment or upon
annuitization depending upon the requirements of the law of the state of the
policyowner's residence. Premium taxes are subject to change by legislation,
administrative interpretations, or judicial act.
FUND INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND EXPENSES: At the direction of the policyowner,
the Variable Account purchases shares of Funds which are available for

GENERAL PROVISIONS
THE POLICY
The Policy is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity policy.
(a) The Policy may be purchased on a non-tax qualified basis ("Nonqualified
Policy"). The Policy also may be purchased and used in connection with
retirement plans or individual retirement accounts that qualify for
favorable federal income tax treatment ("Qualified Policy").
(b) Before we will issue a Policy, we must receive a completed application.
A minimum Premium Payment of $300 during the first Policy year is
required.
(c) The Policy, the application and any applicable riders are the entire
contract. Only our Elected Officers can agree to change or waive any
provisions of the Policy. Any change or waiver must be in writing and
signed by such Elected Officers.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the benefits payable
under the Policy will be equal to the benefits which the Premium Payments would
have provided for the correct age or sex (if such distinction based upon sex is
allowed by law).
We may require proof of the age of the Annuitant before making any Annuity
Payments under the Policy.
If a misstatement of age or sex results in monthly income payments that are
too large, the overpayments will be deducted from future payments. If we have
made payments that are too small, the underpayment will be added to the next
payment. Adjustments for overpayments or underpayment will include the compound
interest rate used to determine the Annuity Payments.
NONPARTICIPATING
No dividends will be paid. Neither you nor the Beneficiary will have the
right to share in our surplus earnings or profits.
PERIODIC REPORTS
At least once each Policy year, we will send you a statement showing your
Policy Account Value as of a date not more than two months prior to the date of
mailing. We also will send such statements as may be required by applicable
state and federal laws, rules, and regulations.
POLICY DATE
Policy months, years and Policy Anniversaries are measured from the Policy
Date shown on the Policy.
TERMINATION
The Policy will remain in force until surrendered for its Surrender Value,
Annuity Payments begin, or the Death Benefit has been paid.
If, after the first five Policy anniversaries, you have made no Premium
Payments during a 24-month period and your then-current Policy Account Value
totals less than $2,000, we have the right to pay you the total value of your
account in a lump sum and cancel the Policy.
OWNER AND JOINT OWNER
The Owner is the individual named as such in the application or in any later
change shown in ANLIC's records. Only the Owner may exercise the rights under
this Policy. There may be Joint Owners. If there are Joint Owners, the
signatures of both Owners are needed to exercise rights under the Policy. Joint
Owners are not permitted for Policies issued in connection with Qualified Plans.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY

<PAGE>
If the Annuitant is not an Owner and the Annuitant dies before the Maturity
Date, the Owner may name a new Annuitant. If the Owner doesn't name a new
Annuitant, the Owner will become the Annuitant. If one of the Joint Annuitants
dies prior to the Maturity Date, the survivor shall become the sole Annuitant.
BENEFICIARY CHANGE
Unless the Beneficiary is irrevocable, you may change the named Beneficiary
by sending a written request in a form acceptable to us to our Service Office.
If the named Beneficiary is irrevocable, you may change the named Beneficiary
only by joint written request from you and such named Beneficiary.
You need not send us the Policy unless we request it. When recorded and
acknowledged by us, the change will be effective as of the date you signed the
request. The change will not apply to any payments made or other action taken by
us before we recorded and acknowledged the request.
ASSIGNMENT
You may assign the Policy as collateral, unless prohibited elsewhere in the
Prospectus or in the Policy itself. We will not be bound by the Assignment until
a copy is filed with us. We assume no responsibility for determining whether an
Assignment is valid or the extent of the assignee's interest.
No Beneficiary may assign any benefits under the Policy until they are due
and, to the extent permitted by law, payments are not subject to the debts of
any Beneficiary nor to any judicial process for payment of the Beneficiary's
debts.
DELAY OR SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS
We will normally pay a surrender or withdrawal within seven days after we
receive your written request in our Service Office. However, transfers and
payment of any amount from the Sub-accounts may be delayed or suspended
whenever:
(a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and
holiday closing, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted
as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC");
(b) the SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of Owners; or
(c) an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which
disposal of the securities held in the Sub-accounts is not reasonably
practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value
of the Variable Account's net assets.
Payment of any amounts from the Fixed Account may be deferred for up to six
months from the date of the request to surrender. If payment is deferred for
more than 30 days, we will pay interest on the amount deferred at a rate not
less the Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate.
Payments under the Policy of any amounts derived from Premium Payments paid
by check may be delayed until such time as the check has cleared your bank.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
ACCUMULATION UNITS
An Accumulation Unit is an accounting unit of measure used to calculate the
value of your interest in the Sub-accounts. When a Net Premium Payment or
transfer is allocated to a Sub-account, a certain number of Accumulation Units
are credited to your Policy. The number of Accumulation Units is determined by
dividing the dollar amount allocated to the Sub-account by the Accumulation Unit
Value for that Sub-account as of the end of the Valuation Period in which the
allocation is made.
The Accumulation Unit Value for each Sub-account was arbitrarily set at ten
dollars ($10) when the first investments were bought, except for the Social
Money Market Sub-account which was set at one dollar ($1). The value for any
later Valuation Period is determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value
for a Sub-account for the last prior Valuation Period by such Sub-account's "net
investment factor" for the following Valuation Period.
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
SAI 4
<PAGE>
Like the Policy Account Value, the Accumulation Unit Value may increase or
decrease from one Valuation Period to the next.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The "net investment factor" measures the investment performance of a
Sub-account from one Valuation Period to the next. The net investment factor may
be greater or less than one, so the value of a Sub-account may increase or
decrease.
The net investment factor for each Sub-account for any Valuation Period is
determined by dividing (a) by (b), where:
(a) is the net result of:
(1) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares held in the
Sub-account determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period;
plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made by the Portfolio on shares held in the Sub-account, if the
"ex-dividend" date occurs during the current Valuation Period; minus
(3) an adjustment for the mortality and expense risk charge and the
administrative expense charge; plus or minus
(4) a per unit charge or credit for any taxes incurred by or reserved for
in the Sub-account, which is determined by ANLIC to have resulted from
the maintenance of the Sub-account; and
(b) is the net result of:
(1) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares held in the
Sub-account, determined as of the end of the immediately preceding
Valuation Period; plus or minus
(2) the per unit charge or credit for any taxes reserved for the
immediately preceding Valuation Period.
FIXED ACCOUNT
The Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information are generally
intended to serve as a disclosure document only for the Policy and the Variable
Account. For complete details regarding the Fixed Account, see the Policy
itself.
Premium Payments allocated and amounts transferred to the Fixed Account
become part of the General Account assets of ANLIC. Interests in the General
Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), nor is the General Account registered as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the "1940 Act").
Accordingly, neither the General Account nor any interests therein are generally
subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts, and ANLIC has been advised
that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in the Prospectus
which relate to the Fixed Account.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The General Account consists of all assets owned by ANLIC other than those
in the Variable Account and other separate accounts. Subject to applicable law,
ANLIC has sole discretion over the investment of the assets in the General
Account.
The General Account is supported by ANLIC's assets that are held in the
General Account. Premium Payments applied and any amounts transferred to the
General Account are credited with a fixed rate of interest for a specified
period. This is the account known as the "Fixed Account".
The allocation of Premium Payments and/or transfer of Policy Account Value
to the Fixed Account does not entitle an Owner to share in the investment
experience of the General Account. Instead, ANLIC guarantees that value in the
Fixed Account will accrue interest at an effective annual rate of at least 4%,
independent of the actual investment experience of the General Account. Interest
rates will be determined on no less than an annual basis.
Prior to the Maturity Date, you may elect to allocate net Premium Payments
to the Fixed Account or to transfer Policy Account Value to or from the Fixed
Account (subject to certain restrictions upon transfers from the Fixed Account,
as discussed, below).
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
SAI 5
<PAGE>
TRANSFER LIMITATION
The maximum amount allowed to be transferred out of the Fixed Account during
one Policy Year is 100% of Fixed Account interest accrued since the last Policy
Anniversary, plus 10% of:
(1) Account Value of the Fixed Account as of the last Policy Anniversary;
plus
(2) Deposits and transfers made into the Fixed Account since the last
Policy Anniversary; minus
(3) All partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account since the last Policy
Anniversary.
FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE
We will credit all net Premium Payments allocated to the Fixed Account to
your Fixed Account Value. The Fixed Account Value at any time equals:
(1) The net Premium Payments allocated to the Fixed Account; plus
(2) The total of all amounts transferred to the Fixed Account from the
Variable Account; minus
(3) The total of all amounts transferred from the Fixed Account to the
Variable Account, minus
(4) The total of all Policy fees attributable to the Fixed Account; minus
(5) The total of all partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account (including
any Surrender Charges); plus
(6) Interest.
ANLIC'S MANAGEMENT HAS COMPLETE AND SOLE DISCRETION TO DETERMINE THE CURRENT
INTEREST RATES. ANLIC CANNOT PREDICT OR GUARANTEE THE LEVEL OF FUTURE CURRENT
INTEREST RATES, EXCEPT THAT ANLIC GUARANTEES THAT FUTURE CURRENT INTEREST RATES
WILL NOT BE BELOW AN EFFECTIVE RATE OF 4% PER YEAR COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY. THE
OWNER BEARS THE RISK THAT CURRENT INTEREST RATES WILL NOT EXCEED AN EFFECTIVE
RATE OF 4% PER YEAR.
SURRENDER CHARGE CALCULATIONS
Owners may, prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date or death, withdraw
100% of earnings since the last Policy Anniversary in all Sub-accounts and the
Fixed Account free of Surrender Charges. Additionally, Owners may also withdraw
free of Surrender Charges up to 10% of the Policy Account Value as of the last
Policy Anniversary, plus 10% of
(1) deposits since the last Policy Anniversary minus
(2) withdrawals since the last Policy Anniversary.
Surrender Charges are assessed on Premium Payments made within five years of
a surrender or partial withdrawal. To determine the Surrender Charge for a
particular Premium Payment, the Surrender Charge percentage is multiplied by the
Premium Payment less any withdrawals previously allocated to the Premium
Payment. The total Surrender Charge is then determined by summing the previous
result over all Premium Payments used in the calculation. The Surrender Charge
will be based on the excess of the surrender amount over the Free Withdrawal
Amounts. This excess is distributed over the Premium Payments on a first-in,
first-out basis until the excess is exhausted. Partial withdrawals will be
charged based on the above method.
There are no Surrender Charges assessed on distributions made upon the death
of the Owner. The Surrender Charge percentages are as follows:
Years 1-3 8%
Year 4 6%
Year 5 4%
Year 6 0%

determine the Surrender Charge. The $3,000 withdrawal is less than the first
Premium Payment, therefore, we will use the Surrender Charge percentage on that
Premium Payment. However, it seems that we are applying one surrender Charge
percentage for all premiums. The reason is that the Surrender Charge for the
first three years is 8%.
Assume that your Policy Account Value is split among four Sub-accounts in
the following proportions:
Sub-account 1 $ 784.02 .1102%
Sub-account 2 3,111.15 .4373%
Sub-account 3 1,730.23 .2432%
Sub-account 4 1,489.05 .2093%
$ 7,114.45 1.000%
The process for allocating the Surrender Charge among the Sub-accounts is as
follows:
.1102 Sub-account 1 $ 784.01 - 12.04 = $ 771.97
.4373 Sub-account 2 3,111.15 - 47.76 = 3,063.39
.2432 Sub-account 3 1,730.23 - 26.56 = 1,703.67
.2093 Sub-account 4 1,489.05 - 22.86 = 1,466.19
.1102 Sub-account 1 771.97 - 71.63 = 700.34
.4373 Sub-account 2 3,063.39 - 284.25 = 2,779.14
.2432 Sub-account 3 1,703.67 - 158.08 = 1,545.59
.2093 Sub-account 4 1,466.19 - 136.04 = 1,330.15
.1102 Sub-account 1 700.34 - 268.41 = 431.93
.4373 Sub-account 2 2,779.14 - 1,065.10 = 1,714.04
.2432 Sub-account 3 1,545.59 - 592.35 = 953.25
.2093 Sub-account 4 1,330.15 - 509.78 = 820.38

PERFORMANCE DATA CALCULATIONS
We may advertise the yield and effective yield of the Money Market
Sub-account. In addition, we may advertise yield and total returns for other
Sub-accounts. All performance data calculations for the Sub-accounts will be in
accordance with SEC rules and regulations.
MONEY MARKET SUB-ACCOUNT'S YIELD CALCULATION
In accordance with regulations adopted by the SEC, if we disclose the
annualized yield of the Calvert Social Money Market Sub-account for a seven-day
period, it is required to be in a manner which does not take into consideration
any realized or unrealized gains or losses of the Calvert Social Money Market
Portfolio or on its portfolio securities. The annualized yield is computed by
determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale
of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation) in the value of a
hypothetical account having a balance of one Accumulation Unit of the Calvert
Social Money Market Sub-account at the beginning of the seven-day period,
dividing the net change in the value of the Sub-account by the value of the
account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return, and
annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in Sub-account
Value reflects the deduction for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and the
Administrative Expense Charge as well as income and expenses accrued during the
period. Because of these deductions, the yield for the Calvert Social Money
Market Sub-account will be lower than the yield for the Calvert Social Money
Market Portfolio.
The SEC also permits us to disclose the effective yield of the Money Market
Sub-account for the same seven-day period, determined on a weekly-compounded
basis. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return
by adding one to the base period return, raising the sum to a power equal to 365
divided by 7, and subtracting one from the result according to the following
formula:
Effective Yield = [(Base period return + 1) 365/7 ] - 1
The actual yield of the Social Money Market Sub-account is affected by: (1)
changes in interest rates on money market securities; (2) the average portfolio
maturity of the Calvert Social Money Market Portfolio; (3) the types and quality
of securities held by the Calvert Social Money Market Portfolio; and (4) its
operating expenses. The yield on amounts held in the Money Market Sub-account
normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yields for
any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or
rates of return.
OTHER SUB-ACCOUNTS' YIELD CALCULATIONS
We may from time to time advertise or disclose the annualized yield for each
Sub-account other than the Money Market Sub-account for 30-day (or one-month)
periods. Calculation of the yield of a Sub-account begins with the income
generated by an investment in the Sub-account over a specific 30-day (or
one-month) period. This income is then annualized. That is, the amount of income
generated by the investment during that 30-day (or one-month) period is assumed
to be generated during, and reinvested at the end of, each such period over a
360-day (or twelve-month) year. The 30-day (or one-month) yield is calculated
according to the following formula:
Yield = 2[(((a-b)/cd) + 1)6 - 1]
where
a = net investment income earned during the period by the Portfolio
attributable to shares owned by the Sub-account;
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements);
c = the average daily number of Accumulation Units outstanding during the
period; and
d = the maximum offering price per Accumulation Unit (i.e., net asset value
per Accumulation Unit) on the last day in the period.
Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the Variable Account, the
yield for a Sub-account will be lower than the yield for its corresponding
Portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
SAI 8
<PAGE>
taxes or Surrender Charge that may be applicable to a particular Policy. The
yield on amounts held in the Sub-accounts normally will fluctuate over time.
Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or
representation of future yields or rates of return. A Sub-account's actual yield
is affected by the types and quality of the Portfolio's investments and the
Portfolio's operating expenses.
STANDARDIZED AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS
For each Sub-account, we may advertise standardized average annual total
return calculated as prescribed by the rules of the SEC. The calculation assumes
a single $1,000 Premium Payment made at the beginning of the stated period and a
surrender at the end of the period. The ending redeemable value (i.e., the
Surrender Value) reflects all recurring fees that are charged to Owner accounts,
including the Annual Policy Fee, Administrative Expense Charge and Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge, and any applicable Surrender Charge.
Quotations of average annual total return are computed by finding the
average annual compounded rates of return over a period of one, three, five, and
ten years (or, if less, up to the life of the Portfolio), and up to the life of
the Sub-Account that would equate the initial amount invested to the ending
redeemable value, according to the following formula:
P(1 + T)n= ERV
where
P = a hypothetical initial Premium Payment of $1,000;
T = average annual total return;
n = number of years in the period; and
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 Premium Payment made
at the beginning of the period (or fractional portion thereof).
NON-STANDARDIZED RETURN CALCULATIONS
In addition to the standardized calculation described above, we may disclose
non-standardized total returns and non-standardized average annual total returns
for each Sub-account. Like the standardized calculation, non-standardized
calculations assume a single $1,000 Premium Payment made at the beginning of the
stated period. However, non-standardized calculations do not assume a surrender
at the end of the period or reflect recurring separate account charges.
Non-standardized total returns represent the percentage change in Accumulation
Unit Value with respect to periods of one year or less. Non-standardized average
annual total returns represent the average annual change in Accumulation Unit
Value over the stated period. For periods of one year or less, the two
non-standardized rates of return are equal. For periods greater than one year,
the non-standardized average annual total return is the effective annual
compounded rate of return.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS
We may also disclose cumulative total return for each Sub-account.
Cumulative total return is non-standardized and unaveraged. It reflects the
simple percentage change in value of a hypothetical investment in a Sub-account
over the stated period. Cumulative total return is calculated using the
following formula:
CTR = (ERV / P) - 1
where
CTR = the cumulative total return net of Sub-account recurring charges for
the period;
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 Premium Payment made
at the beginning of the period (or fractional portion thereof); and
P = a hypothetical initial Premium Payment of $1,000.
PERFORMANCE FIGURES
The performance information provided in the tables below is as of December
31, 1999, and reflects only the performance of a Policy's allocation to the
Sub-accounts during the time period on which the calculations are based. For
periods prior to the inception date of a Sub-account, performance information
represents hypothetical returns
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
SAI 9

based on the performance of the corresponding Portfolio and the assumption that
the Sub-account had been in existence for the period indicated. All returns for
periods greater than one year are annualized. Performance information provided
for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future rates
of return.
The yield for the Money Market Sub-account for the seven-day period ending
December 31, 1999 on an annualized basis, was 4.71%. The effective yield for the
Money Market Sub-account for the seven-day period ending December 31, 1999, on
an annualized basis, was 4.82%.
Standardized Average Annual Total Return - reflects historical investment
results based on a $1,000 hypothetical investment over the period indicated,
less separate account and underlying charges. The separate account charges
include an annual policy fee, an administrative expense charge, a mortality and
expense risk charge, and any surrender charge applicable if an owner surrendered
the policy at the end of the period indicated. The underlying portfolio charges
include management fees and other operating expenses.

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
TAXATION OF ANLIC
ANLIC is taxed as a life insurance company under Part 1 of Subchapter L of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Since the Variable
Account is not an entity separate from ANLIC and its operations form a part of
ANLIC, it will not be taxed separately as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income and realized net capital gains on
the assets of the Variable Account are reinvested and taken into account in
determining the Policy Account Value. As a result, such investment income and
realized net capital gains are automatically retained as part of the reserves
under the Policy. Under existing federal income tax law, we believe that
Variable Account investment income and realized net capital gains should not be
taxed to the extent hat such income and gains are retained as part of the
reserves under the Policy.
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICIES
Section 817(h) of the Code provides that the investments of the Variable
Account must be "adequately diversified" in accordance with Treasury regulations
in order for the Policies to qualify as annuity contracts under Section 72 of
the Code. The Variable Account, through each Portfolio, intends to comply with
the diversification requirements prescribed by the Treasury Department in Treas.
Reg. Section 1.817-5, which affect how the Portfolios' assets may be invested.
We do not control any of the Funds or their Portfolios' investments. However, we
have entered into an agreement regarding participation in each Fund, which
requires each participating Portfolio to be operated in compliance with the
diversification requirements prescribed by the Treasury.
In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts may be
considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the
separate account used to support their policies. In those circumstances, income
and gains from the separate account assets would be includable in the variable
policy owner's gross income. The IRS has stated in published rulings that a
variable policy owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if
the policy owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the
ability to exercise investment control over the assets. The Treasury Department
also announced, in connection with the issuance of regulations concerning
diversification, that those regulations "do not provide guidance concerning the
circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset
account may cause the investor (i.e., the policyholder), rather than the
insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the account."
This announcement also stated that guidance would be issued by way of
regulations or rulings on the "extent to which policyholders may direct their
investments to particular subaccounts without being treated as owners of the
underlying assets."
The ownership rights under the Policy are similar to, but different in
certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that policy owners were not owners of separate account assets. For
example, the Owner has additional flexibility in allocating premium payments and
Policy Account Values. These differences could result in an Owner being treated
as the owner of a pro rata portion of the assets of the Variable Account. In
addition, we do not know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the
regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to
issue. We therefore reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to
attempt to prevent an Owner from being considered the owner of a pro rata share
of the assets of the Variable Account.
QUALIFIED POLICIES
The Policies are designed for use with several types of qualified plans. The
following are brief descriptions of qualified plans with which the policies may
be used:
a. H.R. 10 Plans--Section 401 of the Code permits self-employed individuals
to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees. Such
plans commonly are referred to as "H.R. 10" or "Keogh" plans.
Taxation of plan participants depends on the specified plan.
The Code governs such plans with respect to maximum contributions,
distribution dates, non-forfeitability of interests, and tax rates
applicable to distributions. In order to establish such a plan, a plan
document, usually in prototype form preapproved by the Internal Revenue
Service, is adopted and implemented by the
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
SAI 12
<PAGE>
employer. When issued in connection with H.R. 10 plans, a Policy may be
subject to special requirements to conform to the requirements under
such plans. Purchasers of a Policy for such purposes will be provided
with supplemental information required by the Internal Revenue Service
or other appropriate agency.
b. Individual Retirement Annuities--Section 408 of the Code permits certain
individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as
an "Individual Retirement Annuity" or an "IRA." IRA's are subject to
limitations on eligibility, maximum contributions, and time of
distribution. Distributions from certain other types of qualified plans
may be "rolled over" on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Sales of a
Policy for use with an IRA may be subject to special requirements of the
Internal Revenue Service. Purchasers of a Policy for such purposes will
be provided with supplemental information required by the Internal
Revenue Service or other appropriate agency.
c. Roth IRAs--Section 408A of the Code permits certain individuals to
establish an individual retirement program known as a "Roth Individual
Retirement Annuity" or a "Roth IRA." Roth IRAs are subject to limits on
eligibility and maximum contributions. Unlike regular IRAs, Roth IRAs
are not subject to minimum distribution requirements at age 70 1/2. In
addition, certain qualified distributions from a Roth IRA may not be
subject to federal income tax on withdrawal. Distributions from other
types of qualified plans may not, as a general rule, be rolled over to a
Roth IRA. However, a regular IRA can be converted to a Roth IRA in
certain circumstances. Sales of a Policy for use as a Roth IRA may be
subject to special requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.
Purchasers of a Roth IRA Policy will be provided with supplemental
information required by the Internal Revenue Service or other
appropriate agency.
d. SIMPLE IRAs--Section 408(p) of the Code permits certain small employers
to establish a "SIMPLE Individual Annuity" or "SIMPLE IRA" plan for the
benefit of its eligible employees. Employers who maintain SIMPLE IRA
plans make a specified amount of either matching or non-elective
contributions to SIMPLE IRAs of eligible employees. Employees may also
make salary deferred contributions to their SIMPLE IRAs. The Code
specifies limits on eligibility, contributions, and the timing of
distributions, among other things. Sales of SIMPLE IRAs may be subject
to special requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. Purchasers of a
SIMPLE IRA Policy will be provided with supplemental information
required by the Internal Revenue Service or other appropriate agency.
e. Corporation Pension and Profit Sharing Plans--Sections 401(a) and 403(a)
of the Code permit corporate employers to establish various types of
retirement plans for employees. Such retirement plans may permit the
purchase of Policies in order to provide benefits under the plans.
Generally, where the Policy is purchased by a qualified plan, the
tax-deferral feature is provided through the qualified plan and the tax-deferral
feature of the Policy is not necessary and does not provide any additional tax
deferred treatment of earnings.
The Policy does provide features unavailable in other products, such as
lifetime income payments, family protection through the Death Benefit, and
certain guarantees of fees and expenses. Fees imposed by the Policy may be
higher than alternative investments, such as mutual funds, as a result of
offering these features.
ADDITION, DELETION OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
We cannot guarantee that shares of the Portfolios currently being offered
will be available in the future for investment of Premium Payments or for
transfers. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to
make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for, the shares of the Funds
that are held by the Variable Account (or any Sub-account) that the Variable
Account (or any Sub-account) may purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the
shares of any of the Portfolios and to substitute shares of another Portfolio or
any other investment vehicle or of another open-end, registered investment
company if laws or regulations are changed, if the shares of any of the Funds or
a Portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in our judgment
further investment in any Portfolio should become inappropriate in view of the
objectives and policies of the Sub-account. We will not
ALLOCATOR 2000 ANNUITY
SAI 13
<PAGE>
substitute any shares attributable to an Owner's interest in a Sub-account
without notice and prior approval of the SEC and the insurance regulator of the
state where the Policy was delivered, where required. Nothing contained herein
shall prevent the Variable Account from purchasing other securities for other
series or classes of policies, or from permitting a conversion between series or
classes of policies on the basis of requests made by Owners.
We also reserve the right to establish additional Sub-accounts of the
Variable Account, each of which would invest in a new Portfolio of one of the
Funds, or in shares of another investment company or suitable investment, with a
specified investment objective. New Sub-accounts may be established when, in our
sole discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant, and any new
Sub-accounts will be made available to existing Owners on a basis to be
determined by us. We may also eliminate one or more Sub-accounts if, in its sole
discretion, marketing, tax, or investment conditions warrant.
In the event of any such substitution or change, we may, by appropriate
endorsement, make such changes in the Policies as may be necessary or
appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. If deemed by us to be in the
best interests of persons having voting rights under the Policies, the Variable
Account may be operated as a management company under the 1940 Act, it may be
deregistered under that Act in the event such registration is no longer
required, or it may be combined with other ANLIC separate accounts.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
Applications for the Policies are solicited by agents who are licensed by
state insurance authorities to sell our variable annuity insurance policies, and
who are also registered representatives of The Advisors Group, Inc. ("TAG") or
registered representatives of broker/dealers who have selling agreements with
TAG or registered representatives of broker/dealers who have selling agreements
with such broker/dealers. TAG, whose address is 7315 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda,
Maryland 20814, is a registered broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 ("1934 Act") and a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). TAG is a second tier wholly-owned subsidiary of Acacia
Life Insurance Company of Washington, D.C. TAG acts as the principal
underwriter, as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Policies (as well as of other
variable life policies) pursuant to an underwriting agreement with ANLIC. The
Policies are offered and sold only in those states where their sale is lawful.
We will refund any Premium Payments paid if a Policy ultimately is not
issued or will refund the applicable amount if the Policy is canceled during the
Free Look Period.
Agents are compensated for sales of the Policies on a commission and service
fee basis and with other forms of compensation. Agent commissions will vary, but
in any event will not exceed 5% of Premium Payments made.
STATE REGULATION
We are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of states within which
we are licensed or may become licensed to operate. Generally, the insurance
department of a state applies the laws of the state of the insurance company's
domicile in determining permissible investments by that insurance company. A
Policy is governed by the law of the state in which it is delivered. The values
and benefits of each Policy are at least equal to those required by the state in
which it is delivered.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
All records and accounts relating to the Variable Account will be maintained
by ANLIC. As presently required by the 1940 Act and regulations promulgated
thereunder, reports containing such information as may be required under that
Act or by any other applicable law or regulation will be sent to Owners at their
last known address of record.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
Article VII of ANLIC's By-Laws provides, in part:
Section 2 Indemnification. In the event any action, suit or proceeding is
brought against a present or former Director, elected officer, appointed officer
or other employee because of any action taken by such person as a Director,
officer or employee of the Company, the Company shall reimburse or indemnify him
for all loss reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 13.1-3.1 of the Code of Virginia, as is now
or hereafter amended, except in relation to matters as to which such person
shall have been finally adjudged to be liable by reason of having been guilty of
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of duties as such
director, officer or employee. In case any such suit, action or proceeding shall
result in a settlement prior to final judgment and if, in the judgment of the
Board of Directors, such person in taking the action or failing to take the
action complained of was not grossly negligent or guilty of wilful misconduct in
the performance of his duty, the Company shall reimburse or indemnify him for
the amount of such settlement and for all expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with such action and its settlement. This right of indemnification
shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any such person may be
entitled.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification may be against public policy as expressed in the Act and may be,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a Director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
Director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
ANLIC Officers and Directors are covered under a Fidelity Bond issued by Chubb
Group of Insurance Companies with an aggregate limit of $8,000,000, a single
loss limit of $4,000,000, and a deductible of $50,000.

Gentlemen:
With reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement
on Form N-4, filed by Acacia National Life Insurance Company and Acacia National
Variable Annuity Separate Account II with the Securities and Exchange Commission
covering flexible premium annuity policies, I have examined such documents and
such laws as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such
examination, it is my opinion that:
1. Acacia National Life Insurance Company is duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia
and has been duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the
Commonwealth of Virginia to issue variable annuity policies.
2. Acacia National Variable Annuity Separate Account II is a duly
authorized and existing separate account established pursuant to
the provisions of Virginia, ss.38.2-3113.
3. The flexible premium variable annuity policies, when issued as
contemplated by said Form N-4 Registration Statement, will
constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations of
Acacia National Life Insurance Company.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to said
Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 and to
the use of my name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus contained
in the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,

Exhibit 13
Schedule of Computation of Performance Quotations
Money Market Subaccounts:
Yield
Current yield for Money Market subaccount reflects the income generated by a
subaccount over a 7 day period. Current yield is calculated by determining the
net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical account
having one Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period adjusting for the
maintenance charge, and dividing the difference by the value of the subaccount
at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and
multiplying the base period return by (365/7). The resulting yield figure is
carried to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
Effective Yield
Effective yield for the Money Market subaccount is calculated in a similar
manner to current yield except that investment income is assumed to be
reinvested throughout the year at the 7 day rate.
Effective yield is obtained by taking the base period returns as computed above,
and then compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising the sum to a
power equal to (365/7) and subtracting one from the result, according to the
formula:
Effective Yield=[(Base Period Return+1)365/7]-1.
Since the reinvestment of income is assumed in the calculation of effective
yield, it will generally be higher than current yield.
Other Subacccounts:
Total Return
Average annual total return quotations for the 1, 5, and 10 year periods ended
on the date of the most recent balance sheet of the Registrant included in the
registration statement is computed by finding the average annual compounded
rates of return over the 1, 5, and 10 year periods that would equate the initial
amount invested to the ending redeemable value, according to the following
formula:
P(1 + T) n = ERV
Where:
P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1000 payment made at the
beginning of the 1, 5, or 10 year periods at the end of the 1, 5, or 10
year operiods (or fractional portion thereof)
Yield
Current yield for subaccounts other than the Money Market subaccount reflects
the income generated by a subaccount over a 30-day period. Current yield is
calculated by dividing the net investment income per accumulation unit earned
during the period by the maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the
period, according to the formula:
Yield = 2[(((a - b ) / cd) + 1)6 - 1]
Where a = net investment income earned during the period by the portfolio
company attributable to shares owned by the subaccount, b = expenses accrued for
the period (net of reimbursements), c = the average daily number of accumulation
units outstanding during the period, and d = the maximum offering price per
accumulation unit on the last day of the period. The yield reflects the
mortality and expense risk charge and the annual policy fee.
