GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Annuitant and Secondary Annuitant--The person upon whose life the annuity
payments are based. For joint options, annuity payments are based upon the
lives of both the annuitant and secondary annuitant. Either the annuitant or
the secondary annuitant generally must be no older than 80 years of age on the
contract issue date.

Annuity Payments--Payments made by us to the payee pursuant to the payment
option chosen. Annuity payments may be either variable or a combination of
fixed and variable.

Assumed Investment Return or AIR--The annual effective rate shown in the
contract specifications section of the contract that is used in the calculation
of each variable annuity payment.

Beneficiary(ies)--The person(s) who may receive death proceeds or guaranteed
payments under this contract when there is no longer a living annuitant (or
last annuitant for joint options).

Contract Issue Date--The date the contract becomes effective. This will be
stated in the contract. Generally, the date the initial premium is allocated to
the separate account.

Owner(s)--"You," "your," and "yours." The person or entity named in the
contract specifications section who may, while any annuitant is living,
exercise all rights granted by the contract. The annuitant must be the owner,
if the contract is a qualified contract. If there is a secondary annuitant, he
or she may also be an owner (except for a qualified contract, where only one
owner is permitted). The secondary annuitant is never required to be an owner.

Payee--The person or entity to whom annuity payments are paid.

Payment Date--The date an annuity payment is paid to the payee. The payment
amount will be determined no more than seven business days before each payment
date. We may require evidence that any annuitant(s) and/or payee is/are alive
on the payment date.

Separate Account--PFL Retirement Builder Variable Annuity Account.

Stabilized Payment--The variable annuity payment you receive. Stabilized
payments are determined annually at your contract anniversary and are paid in
according to the annuity payment frequency you select. You can choose not to
stabilize your variable annuity payments in which case each payment fluctuates
based on the performance of the selected subaccounts.

Subaccount--The investment options or divisions of the separate account. Each
subaccount invests in a different portfolio of the funds. We may make
additional subaccounts available in the future.

Successor Owner--The person named by the owner to whom ownership of the
contract passes upon the owner's death. If the owner is also the annuitant, the
annuitant's beneficiary(ies) is entitled to the death proceeds of the contract.
If no person is named, the owner's estate shall be deemed the successor owner.

Supportable Payment--The amount equal to the sum of the variable annuity unit
values times the number of variable annuity units in each of the selected
subaccounts. The variable annuity units will be adjusted to reflect the year-
to-date difference between stabilized and non-stabilized payments.

Valuation Day--Each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

Variable Annuity Unit--Variable annuity payments are expressed in terms of
variable annuity units, the value of which fluctuates in relation to the
selected subaccounts.

SUMMARY

The sections in this summary correspond to sections in this prospectus, which
discuss the topics in more detail.

1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

The Fixed and Variable Single Premium Immediate Annuity Contract offered by PFL
Life Insurance Company (PFL, we, us or our) is a contract between you, as the
owner, and PFL, an insurance company. The contract is intended to provide a
stream of income for life or for a specific period of time you select.

2. PURCHASE

You purchase this contract with a single premium. You cannot make additional
premium payments. The minimum premium is $50,000, although we can accept a
smaller premium with approval from our home office.

You may return your contract for a refund within 20 days after you receive it.
The amount of the refund will generally be the premium we receive plus or minus
the investment performance of the subaccounts to which your premium was
allocated, if any. We will generally pay the refund within 7 days after we
receive written notice of cancellation and the returned contract. The contract
will then be deemed void. In some states you may have more or less than 20
days, or receive a refund of more (or less) than the amount described above.

3. ANNUITY PAYMENTS

Annuity payments may be either variable or a combination of fixed and variable.
We guarantee the amount of fixed annuity payments. We do not, however,
guarantee the amount of variable annuity payments. Variable annuity payment
amounts are determined by the investment performance of the subaccounts you
select. However, you can purchase a minimum payment guarantee rider to ensure a
minimum payment amount. See Section 10 for more information.

Annuity payments may be scheduled monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or
annually.

We recommend using electronic funds transfer (EFT) to receive your annuity
payments whenever possible.

4. INVESTMENT CHOICES

You choose between fixed or variable annuity payments, or a combination of
both. If you choose variable annuity payments you must also select one or more
of the following portfolios described in the One Group Investment Trust
prospectus:

One Group Investment Trust
 Bond Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Government Bond Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Balanced Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Large Cap Growth Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Equity Index Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Diversified Equity Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Diversified Mid Cap Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
 Mid Cap Value Portfolio

Your variable annuity payments may go up or down with the investment
performance of any of these portfolios. You bear this investment risk.

You may transfer amounts within the various subaccounts. You may also transfer
amounts from variable to fixed annuity payments at any time. If you do, then
the payment option for the fixed annuity payments will be a continuation of the
payment option currently applicable to variable annuity payments. Transfers
from fixed to variable

                                       4
<PAGE>

annuity payments are not permitted. We may charge a fee for excessive transfers
(we currently do not charge for transfers).

5. EXPENSES

There is a separate account charge of 1.15% annually of average daily net
assets if you allocate $50,000 or more to variable annuity payments; if you
allocate less than $50,000 to variable annuity payments the separate account
charge is 1.35%. This charge will not increase and does not apply to fixed
annuity payments.

Each portfolio has investment management and other fees charged directly to it.
In 1999, these ranged from 0.55% to 0.95% annually of average daily net assets.

In some states, a charge for applicable premium taxes ranging from 0% to 3.5%
is deducted from the premium when paid.

If you select a Certain Only variable payment option, you may surrender all or
a portion of your contract. For Certain Only variable annuity payments, the
following schedule shows the surrender charges that apply during the first nine
years:

- ---------------------------------------------
        9 or
        more                       0%
</TABLE>

For Certain Only fixed annuity payments, there is a 2% surrender charge in the
calculation of the surrender value.

If you select the Life with Emergency Cash SM payment option, you may also
surrender all or a portion of your contract. The following schedule shows the
surrender charges that apply during the
first four years for the Life with Emergency Cash SM payment option:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                           Surrender Charge
  Number of Years Since   (as a percentage of

  <S>                     <C>
        0-1                        4%
- ---------------------------------------------
        1-2                        3%
- ---------------------------------------------
        2-3                        2%
- ---------------------------------------------
        3-4                        1%
- ---------------------------------------------
        4 or
        more                       0%
</TABLE>

There is an extra charge if you elect the optional payment guarantee rider.

6. TAXES

You are taxed on the part of your annuity payment considered income. Annuity
payments from nonqualified contracts may be considered partly a return of your
investment in the contract so that part of each payment would not be taxable as
income. Annuity payments from qualified contracts are generally considered as
all taxable income.

7. SURRENDERS

You do not have access to your money and cannot surrender any of your contract
unless you select either the Certain Only payment option or Life with Emergency
Cash SM payment option. No other payment option allows surrenders. If you
choose the Certain Only payment option you may surrender the present value of
the remaining payments (less any applicable surrender charge). If you choose
the Life with Emergency Cash SM payment option, we will provide you with a Life
with Emergency Cash SM benefit schedule that will allow you to determine how
much is available to surrender (before deducting any applicable surrender
charge). The minimum amount you may surrender is $2,500.

                                       5
<PAGE>

Surrenders may have adverse tax consequences. You should consult with your tax
advisor before requesting a surrender.

8. PERFORMANCE

The amount of your variable annuity payments will vary up or down depending
upon the investment performance of the subaccounts you choose. We provide
historical, or past, performance information for the portfolios (adjusted to
reflect the separate account charge) in Appendix B and in the Statement of
Additional Information. This data does not indicate future performance.

9. DEATH BENEFIT

Some payment options provide a death benefit in the event the annuitant dies
after annuity payments begin or if an owner or annuitant dies before annuity
payments begin.

10. PAYMENT GUARANTEE RIDER

The initial payment guarantee is an optional rider that is available to you.
Your variable annuity payments will never be less than the initial variable
annuity payment.

The charge for this rider is 0.75%.

* The expenses herein are only applicable to premium payments allocated to
  variable annuity payments.

(/1/There)is currently no charge for any transfers, although PFL reserves the
    right to charge $15 for each transfer in excess of six per year.

(/2/The)fee table information relating to the portfolios is for 1999 and was
    provided to PFL by One Group Administrative Services, Inc., the
    administrator for One Group Investment Trust, and PFL has not independently
    verified such information. Future expenses may be higher or lower than
    these 1999 expenses.

EXAMPLES

The following examples indicate the expenses you would pay in various
situations, based on actual portfolio expenses for 1999, and the following
assumptions:

 .  a $1,000 investment (and, therefore, a 1.35% separate account charge);

 .  a 5.0% annual return on assets;

 .  monthly payments;

 .  a 3.5% AIR (the expenses using a 5.0% AIR will be no greater than with the
   3.5% AIR);

 .  there are no premium taxes;

 .  there are no transfers;

 .  no optional payment guarantee is elected;

 .  the entire premium is allocated to each subaccount; and

 .  the annuitant is a 65 year old male.

(Any different assumption(s) would result in different expenses.)

</TABLE>

The above tables will assist you in understanding the costs and expenses of the
contract and the underlying funds that you will bear, directly or indirectly.
The expense table assumes that your entire premium is allocated to the separate
account; therefore, it reflects expenses of the separate account as well as the
underlying portfolios.

The tables do not reflect any deductions for taxes. Any applicable premium
taxes are deducted from the premium when you buy the contract.

The examples are not a representation of past or future expenses. Actual
expenses may be more or less than those shown.

Financial Information. Condensed financial information for the subaccounts is
in Appendix A to this prospectus.

                                       9

1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

This prospectus describes The One Income Annuity. This is a single premium
immediate annuity contract offered by PFL Life Insurance Company.

An annuity is a contract between you, the owner, and an insurance company (in
this case PFL), where the insurance company promises to pay you an income in
the form of annuity payments. You choose the frequency of these payments and
the first payment date.

You can use the contract to provide periodic payments over your lifetime or
some other specific period of time you select.

The contract is "fixed and variable" because you can allocate your premium
between fixed and variable annuity payments. The amount of the fixed annuity
payments will not vary and are guaranteed by PFL. The amount of the variable
annuity payments will vary depending on the investment performance of your
investment choices.

It is a "single premium" contract because you purchase it with a single
premium. You cannot pay additional premiums.

The contract is an "immediate" contract because the annuity payments generally
begin within 30 days and must begin within one year.

2. PURCHASE

Contract Issue Requirements

PFL will not issue a contract unless:
 .  PFL receives all information needed to issue the contract; and
 .  PFL receives your entire single premium payment.

Premium Payment

The minimum premium for a contract is $50,000. Amounts less than $50,000 may be
accepted with approval from our home office. You cannot make additional premium
payments.

We apply your premium to the contract within two business days after receipt
(at our Administrative and Service Office) of both the premium and all
necessary information.

If the information is incomplete, we will request the necessary information. If
the information is not provided within five days, we will return the premium
unless you tell us to keep it until the necessary information is completed.

The date we credit the premium and issue the contract is called the contract
issue date. On the contract issue date, we allocate the premium (net of any
premium tax deduction) as you specify.

You should make checks for premium payments payable only to PFL Life Insurance
Company and send them to the Administrative and Service Office. Your check must
be honored in order for us to pay any associated payments and benefits due
under the contract.

Allocation of Premium Payment

We will invest the amount of your premium that you allocate to the
subaccount(s) on the contract issue date. You must allocate percentages that
are whole numbers, not fractions. Your allocations must equal 100%, and you
must allocate at least $25,000 to variable annuity payments.

Variable Annuity Units

The portion of your premium allocated to the subaccounts will be used to
purchase variable annuity units. We will determine the number of variable
annuity units based upon:
 .  the premium reduced by any premium taxes,
 .  the annuitant's age and sex (and the age and sex of the secondary annuitant,
   if any),
 .  the payment option you choose,
 .  the frequency of payments you choose,
 .  the AIR you choose,
 .  the first payment date, and
 .  the variable annuity unit value of the subaccount(s) you initially select.

The number of variable annuity units allocated to each subaccount will change
if you transfer among the subaccounts, transfer from variable to fixed annuity
payments or receive cash through a surrender (if allowed). If you choose a
joint and survivor payment option and benefits are reduced

                                       10
<PAGE>

due to the death of one of the annuitants, the number of variable annuity units
will be reduced at that time. Additionally, with stabilized payments your
variable annuity units will be adjusted on each contract anniversary.

3. ANNUITY PAYMENTS

Annuity Payment Dates

We provide annuity payments to the payee on each payment date. You select
either a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual payment frequency when you
purchase the contract. Payments will generally be made by electronic funds
transfer. Other disbursement options may be available, if we approve. The first
payment date is typically 30 days after we receive the entire single premium
and must be within one year of the contract issue date. All subsequent payment
dates will generally be on the same day of the month as the first payment date.

Payments Under the Contract

We usually make payments within seven days of the payment date or receipt of
all applicable written notices and/or proofs of death.

We will not pay interest on amounts represented by uncashed annuity payment
checks if the postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver checks to
the payee's address of record. Uncashed variable annuity payments will not
participate in the performance of the portfolios. Each payee is responsible for
keeping us informed of their current address of record.

Stabilized Payments

You will receive variable annuity payments that are "stabilized" or held
constant during each contract year, unless you elect at the time of purchase to
receive non-stabilized variable annuity payments where each payment will go up
or down to reflect investment performance. With stabilized payments, your
payment amount will only go up or down to reflect investment performance on an
annual basis. Please note that stabilized payments do not include any amounts
allocated to fixed payments.

During the first contract year each stabilized payment will equal the initial
variable annuity
payment. On each contract anniversary, a new stabilized payment will be
determined and you will be notified of the new stabilized payment amount for
the upcoming contract year.

See the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of
stabilized payments and changes in the number of variable annuity units
credited to your contract and an illustration showing hypothetical changes in
the number of variable annuity units.

Variable or Combination Payments

You allocate your premium between fixed and variable payments under a payment
option when you buy the contract. You may choose all variable or a combination
of fixed and variable annuity payments.

Any portion of your premium allocated to a fixed payment option will always
remain allocated to fixed annuity payments. However, you may transfer from
variable annuity payments to fixed annuity payments at any time.

If you choose a combination of fixed and variable annuity payments, a portion
of your annuity payments will be fixed and a portion will vary. We will
guarantee the dollar amount of any fixed portion of each annuity payment;
however, the amount of the variable annuity payments will depend upon the
investment experience of the underlying portfolios and is not guaranteed.

Under some joint and survivor payment options, the annuity payments decrease
upon the death of the annuitant or secondary annuitant (as described for
payment options 5, 6, 8, and 9) whether they are fixed or variable.

Assumed Investment Return (AIR)

The assumed investment return you choose is used in the calculation of variable
annuity payments.

IF:
 .  the performance of the applicable subaccounts after all expenses is equal to
   the AIR;
THEN:
 .  the variable annuity payments will remain constant.

                                       11
<PAGE>

IF:
 .  the performance of the subaccounts after all expenses exceeds the AIR;
THEN:
 .  the variable annuity payments will increase.

IF:
 .  the performance of the subaccounts after all expenses is less than the AIR;
THEN:
 .  the variable annuity payments will decrease.

You choose either a 3.5% AIR or a 5% AIR.

IF:
 .  you choose a 5% AIR instead of a 3.5% AIR;
THEN:
 .  you will receive a higher initial payment; and
 .  payments will increase less during periods of good investment performance
   (i.e., when investment performance exceeds the AIR) and decrease more during
   periods of poor investment performance (i.e., when investment performance is
   below the AIR).

IF:
 .  you choose a 3.5% AIR instead of a 5% AIR;
THEN:
 .  you will receive a lower initial payment; and
 .  payments will increase more during periods of good investment performance
   (i.e., when investment performance exceeds the AIR) and decrease less during
   periods of poor investment performance (i.e., when investment performance is
   below the AIR).

See Appendix D for an illustration of the difference in the two AIRs.

Calculation of Variable Payments

The stabilized payment is calculated on your contract anniversary. The amount
of the payment is determined by taking the number of variable annuity units in
each subaccount and multiplying them by the variable annuity unit value of each
subaccount. The number of variable annuity units are adjusted to reflect the
year to date difference between stabilized payment and non-stabilized payments.
This calculation is performed for each subaccount and the sum of the
subaccounts will equal the amount of your stabilized variable annuity payment.

Non-stabilized payments are calculated monthly.

The variable annuity unit value in a particular subaccount on any valuation day
is equal to:
 .  the variable annuity unit value for that subaccount on the immediately
   preceding valuation day; multiplied by
 .  the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation period;
   multiplied by
 .  the daily factor for the valuation period.

The daily factor for the valuation period (the period of time beginning at the
close of business each valuation day and ending at the close of business on the
next valuation day) is a discount factor that reflects the AIR. Please refer to
the Statement of Additional Information.

The net investment factor used to calculate the variable annuity unit value for
each subaccount for the valuation period is determined by dividing (a) by (b)
and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

(a) is the net result of:
 .  the net asset value of a portfolio share held in that subaccount determined
   as of the end of the current valuation period, plus
 .  the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by
   the portfolio for shares held in that subaccount if the ex- dividend date
   occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus
 .  a per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which we determine
   to have resulted from the investment operation of the subaccount.

(b) is the net asset value of a portfolio share held in that subaccount
determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and

(c) is an amount representing the separate account charge and any applicable
rider charge (shown in the contract specifications section of the contract).

Payment Options

You select the payment option and the number of guaranteed years, if any. You
cannot change the payment option and guarantee period after we issue the
contract. Please note that generally you can only select one payment option. We
currently offer the options described below.

                                       12
<PAGE>

The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment will depend on the
investment performance of the portfolio(s) you select. The dollar amount will
also depend on the payment option you select (it may be different for each of
the various payment options). The number of annuity payments may depend on how
long the annuitant or a secondary annuitant, if any, lives. It is possible that
the sum of annuity payments may be less than the premium (except for option
10--Life Annuity with Premium Refund Payments).

1. Certain Only Annuity. This option provides annuity payments for a guaranteed
period (10-30 years). You choose the guaranteed period. If the annuitant dies
prior to the last guaranteed payment date, we will either:
 .  continue payments as they become due; or
 .  pay the present value of the remaining payments in a lump sum to the
   beneficiary when we receive due proof of the annuitant's death.

If the lump sum death benefit is chosen and the payments under this option are
variable, the present value of the remaining payments is calculated as of the
date we receive written notice of the annuitant's death, using the AIR you
chose when the contract was issued. If the payments under this option are
fixed, the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments is calculated
using interest rates (determined by PFL) in effect on the date we receive due
proof of death.

No additional payments will be made under this option after all the guaranteed
payments have been made.

If you choose the Certain Only payment option and you have stabilized payments,
then your final stabilized payment will equal the current supportable payment
at that time.

Under this option, you can make full or partial surrenders from the contract
prior to the last payment date. The amount you surrender must be at least
$2500.

A partial surrender will reduce all future payments. A surrender charge may
apply and there may be tax consequences.

You should consult a tax advisor before requesting a full or partial surrender.

2. Single Life Annuity. This option provides annuity payments for the
annuitant's lifetime, no matter how long that may be. The final payment will be
the payment made immediately prior to the death of the annuitant. No additional
payments will be made after the annuitant dies.

With this option there is the risk that only one (or a few) annuity payment
will be made if the annuitant dies shortly after the payments begin.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

3. Single Life Annuity with Period Certain. This option provides annuity
payments for a guaranteed period (5 to 30 years) or for the life of the
annuitant, whichever is later. The final annuity payment will be the later of
either the last guaranteed payment or the scheduled annuity payment immediately
prior to the annuitant's death. If the annuitant dies prior to the last
guaranteed payment date, we will make payments to the beneficiary when we
receive due proof of the annuitant's death. No additional payments will be made
if the annuitant dies after all guaranteed payments have been made.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

4. 100% Joint and Survivor Life Annuity. This option provides annuity payments
for the annuitant and the secondary annuitant's lifetimes. After the death of
either the annuitant or the secondary annuitant, we will continue to provide
the full amount of annuity payments to the survivor. Annuity payments stop when
both the annuitant and the secondary annuitant die.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

5. Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with Reduced Annuity Payments to the
Secondary Annuitant. This option is similar to option 4 above, except that
annuity payments are higher while both the annuitant and the secondary
annuitant are living, and then are lower if the annuitant dies before the
secondary annuitant. The final annuity payment will be the one made immediately
before the last surviving annuitant's death. No additional annuity payments
will be made after the death of both annuitants.


                                       13
<PAGE>

If the annuitant dies before the secondary annuitant, the amount of the fixed
annuity payments will be reduced to the percent you select: either 50%, 66.67%
or 75%. For variable annuity payments, the number of variable annuity units
will also be reduced to 50%, 66.67% or 75%.

If the secondary annuitant dies before the annuitant, we will continue to make
annuity payments as they are due, and the amount of the annuity payments will
not go down due to the death.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

6. Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity. This option provides annuity payments
for the annuitant's and secondary annuitant's lifetimes. Payments are higher
while both annuitants are living and decrease upon the death of either the
annuitant or the secondary annuitant. The final annuity payment will be the one
made immediately before the death of the last surviving annuitant. No
additional annuity payments will be made after the death of both annuitants.

Upon the first death, the amount of the fixed annuity payments will be reduced
to a percent you select: either 50%, 66.67% or 75%. For variable annuity
payments, the number of variable annuity units will also be reduced to 50%,
66.67% or 75%.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

7. 100% Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with Period Certain. This option
provides annuity payments for a guaranteed period (5-30 years) or for the
annuitant's and secondary annuitant's lifetimes, whichever is later. The final
annuity payment will be the later of the last guaranteed payment or the annuity
payment made immediately prior to the last surviving annuitant's death. No
additional payments will be made if both annuitants die after all guaranteed
payments have been made.

If both annuitants die prior to the last guaranteed payment date, we will
continue to make guaranteed payments to the beneficiary as they become due for
the remainder of the guaranteed period.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

8. Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with Period Certain and Reduced Annuity
Payments to the Secondary Annuitant. This option is similar to option 7 above,
except that annuity payments are higher while both the annuitant and the
secondary annuitant are living, and then are lower if the annuitant dies before
the secondary annuitant and after the guaranteed period. The final annuity
payment will be the later of the last guaranteed payment or the annuity payment
made immediately prior to the last surviving annuitant's death. No additional
payments will be made if both annuitants die after all guaranteed annuity
payments have been made.

If the annuitant dies before the secondary annuitant and after the guaranteed
period, the amount of the fixed annuity payments will be reduced to the percent
you select: either 50%, 66.67% or 75%. For variable annuity payments, the
number of variable annuity units will also be reduced to 50%, 66.67% or 75%.

If the secondary annuitant dies before the annuitant, we will continue to make
annuity payments as they are due, and the amount of the annuity payments will
not go down due to the death. No surrenders are permitted under this option.

9. Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity with Period Certain. This option
provides annuity payments for a guaranteed period (5-30 years) or for the
annuitant's and secondary annuitant's lifetimes, whichever is later. Payments
are higher while both annuitants are living and decrease after the guarantee
period upon the death of either the annuitant or the secondary annuitant. The
final annuity payment will be the later of the last guaranteed payment or the
annuity payment made immediately prior to the last surviving annuitant's death.
No additional annuity payments will be made after the death of both annuitants.

Upon the first death after the guaranteed period (or the end of the guaranteed
period if the first death occurred prior thereto), the amount of the fixed
annuity payments will be reduced to a percent you select: either 50%, 66.67% or
75%. For variable annuity payments, the number of variable annuity units will
also be reduced to 50%, 66.67% or 75%.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

10. Life Annuity with Premium Refund Payment. This option provides annuity
payments

                                       14
<PAGE>

for the annuitant's lifetime. The final annuity payment will be either the
payment made immediately prior to the annuitant's death or the premium refund
benefit.

We will pay the premium refund benefit to the beneficiaries if, at the date of
the annuitant's death, the sum of all the annuity payments made is less than
the premium. The premium refund benefit will be the premium less the sum of the
previously distributed variable and fixed annuity payments.

No surrenders are permitted under this option.

11. Single Life Annuity with Emergency Cash SM. This option provides annuity
payments for the annuitant's lifetime. You can only receive variable payments
under this option (not fixed). With the Life with Emergency Cash SM feature,
you are able to surrender all or a portion of the Life with Emergency Cash SM
benefit. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. We will provide you
with a Life with Emergency Cash SM benefit schedule as a rider to the contract
that will assist you in estimating the amount you have available to surrender.
A partial surrender will reduce all future payments. A surrender charge may
apply and there may be tax consequences. The Life with Emergency Cash SM
benefit will continue through age 100 of the annuitant.

You should consult a tax advisor before requesting a full or partial surrender.

The Life with Emergency Cash SM benefit is also a death benefit that is paid
upon the death of the annuitant.

For qualified contracts the death benefit ceases at the date the annuitant
reaches the IRS age limitation (determined at the contract issue date).

12. Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with Emergency Cash SM. This option
provides annuity payments to the annuitant and the secondary annuitant while
both are living. You can only receive variable payments under this option (not
fixed). After the death of either the annuitant or the secondary annuitant, we
will continue to provide the full amount of annuity payments to the survivor.
With the Life with Emergency Cash SM feature, you are able to surrender all or
a portion of the Life with Emergency Cash SM benefit. The amount you surrender
must be at least $2,500. We will provide you with a Life with Emergency Cash SM
benefit schedule as a rider to the contract that will assist you in estimating
the amount you have available to surrender. A partial surrender will reduce all
future payments. A surrender charge may apply and there may be tax
consequences. The Life with Emergency Cash SM benefit will continue through age
100 of the younger of the annuitant and the secondary annuitant.

You should consult a tax advisor before requesting a full or partial surrender.

The Life with Emergency Cash SM benefit is also a death benefit that is paid
upon the death of the last annuitant.

For qualified contracts the death benefit ceases at the date of the IRS joint
age limitation (determined at the contract issue date.)

Other payment options may be made available.

PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY THAT IF:
 .  you choose a Single Life Annuity, 100% Joint and Survivor Life Annuity,
   Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with Reduced Annuity Payments to the
   Secondary Annuitant, or Joint and Last Survivor Annuity; and
 .  the annuitant(s) dies before the due date of the second annuity payment;
THEN:
 .  we may make only the one payment.

Please also note that the federal income tax laws may limit your payment
options where the contract is used as a qualified contract.

4. INVESTMENT CHOICES

The Separate Account

The separate account currently consists of nine subaccounts.

The subaccounts invest in shares of the nine portfolios of the One Group
Investment Trust. Banc One Investment Advisors, an indirect subsidiary of Bank
One Corporation, provides investment advice

                                       15
<PAGE>

for all of the underlying portfolios offered through this contract. The
following subaccounts are currently offered:

One Group Investment Trust
  Bond Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Government Bond Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Balanced Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Large Cap Growth Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Equity Index Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Diversified Equity Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Mid Cap Growth Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Diversified Mid Cap Portfolio
One Group Investment Trust
  Mid Cap Value Portfolio

The general public may not purchase shares of these underlying portfolios. The
investment objectives and policies may be similar to other portfolios and
mutual funds managed by the same investment adviser or manager that are sold
directly to the public. You should not expect that the investment results of
the other portfolios and mutual funds will be comparable to those of the
underlying portfolios.

Detailed information about the underlying portfolios may be found in the
current prospectus for the One Group Investment Trust. It includes a
description of each portfolio's investment objectives, policies, and
strategies. The One Group Investment Trust prospectus is attached to this
prospectus. You should read the prospectus for the One Group Investment Trust
carefully before you invest.

The investment objectives and policies of certain portfolios are similar to the
investment objectives and policies of other portfolios that may be managed by
the same investment advisor or manager. The investment results of the
portfolios, however, may differ from the results of such other portfolios.
There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that the investment
results of any of the portfolios will be comparable to the investment results
of any other portfolio, even if the other portfolio has the same investment
advisor or manager.

Allocation Models

Investment allocation models are offered in connection with this product at no
charge. The models may or may not achieve any desired goals or protect against
a loss. See the Statement of Additional Information for further information
about the models.

See Appendix C for Additional Fund Information.

Transfers

Transfers are made using the variable annuity unit values for the end of the
day when we receive your request (that is, at the end of the valuation period
during which we receive your request).

We reserve the right to impose transfer charges.

The percent of the allocation in each subaccount will change over time with its
investment performance. You should periodically review the allocations in light
of market conditions and financial objectives.

The contract you are purchasing was not designed for professional market timing
organizations or other persons that use programmed, large, or frequent
transfers. The use of such transfers may be disruptive to an underlying
portfolio. We reserve the right to reject any transfer request from any person,
if, in our judgment, an underlying portfolio would be unable to invest
effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and policies or would
otherwise be potentially adversely affected or if an underlying portfolio would
reject our purchase order.

Transfers Among Subaccounts. You may transfer amounts among subaccounts by
telephoning us or by providing us with a notice you have signed or an
electronic notice that gives us the facts that we need.

Transfers from Variable to Fixed Payments. You may transfer all or a part of
the value of variable annuity payments to fixed annuity payments by telephoning
us or providing us with a notice you

                                       16
<PAGE>

have signed or an electronic notice that gives us the facts that we need. If
you transfer from variable annuity payments to fixed annuity payments, the
payment option for fixed annuity payments will be a continuation of the payment
option under which the variable annuity payments were being made, or a
continuation of the fixed payment option that may already exist.

For example, if you received variable annuity payments for two years under a 10
Year Certain and Life Option and elect to transfer to fixed annuity payments,
your payment option would be an 8 Year Certain and Life Option. If your
variable payment option is Life with Emergency Cash SM, the fixed payment
option will be Life only, Life with Premium Refund or Life with Period Certain.
The period certain cannot be greater than the annuitant's remaining life
expectancy determined at the contract issue date. (Life with Emergency Cash SM
is only available with variable annuity payments.)

Transfers from variable to fixed annuity payments may have tax consequences.
You should consult a tax advisor before making a transfer from variable to
fixed annuity payments.

You may not transfer from fixed to variable annuity payments.

5. EXPENSES

The following are all the charges made under the contract.

Separate Account Charge

A daily charge is deducted from the assets of each subaccount for our
assumption of mortality and expense risks, and our administration expenses. If
the amount you allocate to variable annuity payments is less than $50,000, a
daily mortality and expense risk charge will be deducted at an effective annual
rate of 1.20%; otherwise, the mortality and expense risk charge will be 1.00%.

An administration expense charge will also be deducted daily from the assets of
each subaccount at an effective annual rate of 0.15%. We guarantee that the
mortality and expense risk and administrative charges will never increase.

The mortality risk arises from our obligation to provide annuity income for
your life (and the life of the secondary annuitant, if any) no matter how long
that might be. The expense risk results from our obligation to cover the cost
of issuing and administering the contracts, no matter how long we may incur
such cost or how large that cost may be. The administration expense charge is
for the costs of administering the contracts. We may earn a profit from the
separate account charge (and expect to do so). Any profit can be used for
distribution expenses or for any other purpose.

Expenses of the Portfolios

The portfolios are charged management fees and incur operating expenses. The
effect of these fees and expenses is reflected in the performance of the
portfolios underlying the subaccounts, and therefore affects the variable
annuity unit value.

Premium Taxes

Some states charge a premium tax based on the amount of your premium. State
premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.5%. In addition, some counties,
cities or towns may charge additional premium taxes. If you live in a place
that has premium taxes, any amount needed to provide for the applicable premium
taxes is deducted from your premium. We allocate the remainder of your premium
to the subaccounts and/or to the purchase of fixed annuity payments.

Other Taxes

We reserve the right to charge for certain taxes (other than premium taxes)
that may be incurred due to the contracts or the separate account. Currently,
we do not charge for any other taxes.

Surrender Charge

If you surrender from a Certain Only payment option we will deduct a surrender
charge of up to 7% of the premium payment surrendered within the first nine
years. If you surrender from a Life with Emergency Cash SM payment option, we
will deduct a surrender charge of up to 4% of the premium payment surrendered
within the first four years. Surrenders are not allowed under any other payment
options.

                                       17
<PAGE>

Transfer Fee

There is currently no charge for transfers. We reserve the right to charge $15
for each transfer over six per contract year (all transfers made simultaneously
will be treated as a single request).

Payment Guarantee Rider Fee

If you elect the initial payment guarantee, there is an annual rider fee of
0.75% of the daily net asset value.

6. TAXES

NOTE: PFL has prepared the following information on federal income taxes as a
general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice to any
individual. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own
circumstances. PFL has included an additional discussion regarding taxes in the
Statement of Additional Information.

Annuity Contracts in General

Generally you will not be taxed on your annuity contract until you take the
money out, either as a withdrawal or as an annuity payment. There are different
rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and
the type of contract--qualified or nonqualified.

Qualified Contracts

Qualified contracts are issued in connection with Individual Retirement
Annuities (IRAs); Tax-Sheltered Annuities made available to employees of
certain public school systems and tax-exempt organizations (403(b) plans);
corporate Pension, Profit Sharing and H.R. 10 Plans.

Withdrawals and Annuity Payments. Generally, withdrawals and annuity payments
from qualified contracts are subject to federal income tax, and in most states,
to state income tax. The amount of any distribution attributable to after-tax
contributions is not subject to federal income tax.

The Internal Revenue Code also provides that withdrawals may be subject to a
penalty. The amount of the penalty is equal to 10% of the amount that is
includable in income. Some
withdrawals will be exempt from the penalty. They include any amounts:
 .  paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2;
 .  paid after the taxpayer dies;
 .  paid if the taxpayer becomes totally disabled (as that term is defined in
   the Internal Revenue Code); or
 .  paid in a series of substantially equal payments made at least annually for
   the life or life expectancy of the annuitant or joint annuitant.

There may be other reasons or circumstances that allow a withdrawal in your
particular situation to be exempt from the 10% penalty. You should consult your
legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering purchasing or requesting
withdrawals from a qualified contract.

Nonqualified Contracts

If you purchase the contract as an individual and not under an individual
retirement annuity, 403(b) plan, 457 plan, or pension or profit sharing plan,
your contract is referred to as a nonqualified contract.

Annuity Payments. Generally, the annuity payments from a nonqualified contract
include both a return of premium and interest or investment gain. Accordingly,
only a portion of the annuity payments you receive will be includable in your
gross income and subject to federal income tax and state income tax, where
applicable. However, when the entire premium has been recovered or returned,
the full amount of any additional annuity payments is includable in gross
income.

Currently capital gains tax rates are not applicable to annuities.

If, after the contract issue date, annuity payments stop because an annuitant
died, any premium that has not been recovered is generally allowable as a
deduction for your last taxable year.

Withdrawals. The Internal Revenue Service currently takes the position that a
withdrawal (i.e., a partial surrender) from an immediate annuity contract is
fully taxable, with no change in the tax treatment of subsequent annuity
payments. If you surrender your contract, the amount that is taxable is the
excess of the amount distributed to you over the unrecovered investment in the
contract. You should

                                       18
<PAGE>

consult a tax advisor before partially or fully surrendering your contract.

The Internal Revenue Code also provides that withdrawals may be subject to a
penalty. The amount of the penalty is equal to 10% of the amount that is
includable in income. Some withdrawals will be exempt from the penalty. They
include any amounts:
 .  paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2;
 .  paid after an owner dies;
\1\paid if the taxpayer becomes totally disabled (as that term is defined in
   the Internal Revenue Code);
 .  paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more
   frequently) under a lifetime annuity; or
 .  which come from premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

Amounts may be distributed from the contract because of the death of an owner
or the annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includable in the income of the
recipient:
 .  if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as
   a full surrender; or
 .  if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in
   the same manner as annuity payments.

For these purposes, the "investment in the contract" is not affected by the
owner's or annuitant's death. That is, the "investment in the contract" remains
generally the total premium payments, less amounts received, which were not
includable in gross income.

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of Contracts

A transfer of ownership or assignment of a contract, the designation of an
annuitant, payee or beneficiary who is not also the owner, the selection of
certain annuity commencement dates, or a change of annuitant, may result in
certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope
of this discussion. An owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment,
selection, or change should contact a competent tax adviser in respect to the
potential tax effects of such a transaction.

Possible Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always
the possibility that the tax treatment of the contract could change by
legislation or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to
legal developments and their effect on the contract.

Diversification and Distribution Requirements

The Internal Revenue Code provides that the underlying investments for a
variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order for
a nonqualified contract to be treated as an annuity contract. The contract must
also meet certain distribution requirements at the death of an owner in order
to be treated as an annuity contract. These diversification and distribution
requirements are discussed in the Statement of Additional Information. PFL may
modify the contract to attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.

7. SURRENDERS

You may not surrender any portion of a contract unless either the Certain Only
or Life with Emergency CashSM payment option is selected. No other payment
option allows surrenders. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. A
partial surrender will reduce all future payments. Surrenders may have adverse
tax consequences. If you do not specify which investment option(s) the
surrender should come out of, then it will be taken out pro rata from your
existing allocations. You should consult with your tax advisor before
requesting a full or partial surrender.

Surrender of Certain Only Payment Option

For Certain Only fixed annuity payments the surrender value is 98% of the
present value of the remaining payments (using PFL's declared interest rates in
effect at the time of the surrender). For Certain Only variable annuity
payments, the surrender value is the present value of future payments less any
applicable surrender charge. For information concerning the calculation of the
present value of future payments, please refer to the Statement of Additional
Information.


                                       19
<PAGE>

Surrender of Life with Emergency Cash SM Payment Option

If you select the Life with Emergency Cash SM payment option, we will provide
you with a Life with Emergency Cash SM benefit schedule that will allow you to
estimate how much is available to surrender (before deducting any applicable
surrender charge).

8. PERFORMANCE

Performance information for the subaccounts may appear in reports and
advertising. The performance information is based on adjusted historical
investment experience of the subaccounts and the underlying portfolios and does
not indicate or represent future performance.

Total returns of the subaccounts may be advertised. Total returns are based on
the overall dollar or percentage change in value of a hypothetical investment.
Total return quotations reflect changes in portfolio share price, the automatic
reinvestment by the separate account of all distributions and the deduction of
applicable annuity charges.

A cumulative total return reflects performance over a stated period of time. An
average annual total return reflects the hypothetical annually compounded
return that would have produced the same cumulative total return if the
performance had been constant over the entire period. Because average annual
total returns tend to smooth out variations in a subaccount's returns, you
should recognize that they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.

Some subaccounts may also advertise yield. These measures reflect the income
generated by an investment in the subaccount over a specified period of time.
This income is annualized and shown as a percentage. Yields do not take into
account capital gains or losses.

Appendix B contains performance information that you may find useful. It is
divided into various parts, depending upon the type of performance information
shown. Future performance will vary and future results will not be the same as
the results shown.

9. DEATH BENEFIT

If the owner dies before the first annuity payment, the premium we receive
(plus or minus investment performance) will be paid as a death benefit. More
information on how we pay it is in the Statement of Additional Information.

If an owner, who may or may not also be an annuitant, dies on or after the
annuity starting date, we will pay the remaining portion of the annuity
payments due under the contract, if any, in the same manner and frequency (at
least as rapidly) as under the method of distribution used before such owner's
death.

Death Benefits under Payment Options 10, 11, and 12 will be paid in a lump sum.

If the deceased owner's surviving spouse is the sole successor owner, then on
such owner's death such surviving spouse may elect to become the sole owner
under the contract and to continue the contract as his or her own.

If a non-natural person is named as an owner, then the primary annuitant, as
defined in the Code, shall be treated as an owner solely for the purposes of
the distribution at death rules. The entire interest in the contract must be
distributed upon the annuitant's death, if the annuitant dies prior to the
first payment date.

If the deceased owner was also the annuitant, then the beneficiary is entitled
to the proceeds described above in this section (unless the deceased owner's
surviving spouse is the sole successor owner). If no person is named as the
beneficiary, the owner's estate shall be deemed the beneficiary.

Note carefully. In instances where the owner's estate is deemed to be the
successor owner or beneficiary, it may be necessary to open a probate estate in
order to exercise ownership rights to, or receive death proceeds from, the
contract. If no probate estate is opened because the owner has precluded the
opening of a probate estate by means of a trust or other instrument, unless we
have received written notice of the trust as a successor owner or beneficiary
prior to the owner's death, that trust may not exercise ownership rights to, or
receive death proceeds from, the contract.

                                       20
<PAGE>

In all events, distributions upon the death of an owner will comply with
section 72(s) of the Code.

10. PAYMENT GUARANTEE RIDER

You may only elect to purchase the initial payment guarantee at the time you
purchase your contract. The guarantee only applies to variable annuity
payments. There is an additional charge for this guarantee. If you do not
purchase this payment guarantee you will receive non-guaranteed stabilized
payments unless you elect otherwise.

The initial payment guarantee does not establish or guarantee the performance
of any subaccount.

With the initial payment guarantee, you receive stabilized payments that are
guaranteed to never be less than the initial payment (i.e., the guaranteed
payment).

Rider Fee

There is a charge for the initial payment guarantee rider. This fee is
reflected in the amount of the annuity payments that you receive if you select
either payment guarantee rider. It is deducted in the same manner as the
separate account charge since it is reflected in the calculation of the annuity
unit values.

The initial payment guarantee rider fee is equal to an annual rate of 0.75% of
the daily net asset value in the subaccounts.

Other Terms and Conditions

You must purchase the initial payment guarantee when you purchase your
contract. You cannot add or delete this payment guarantee after you purchase
your contract.

The payment guarantee is only available with the 3.5% AIR.

You cannot elect this payment guarantee unless you choose one of the four
investment allocation models.

Termination. The initial payment guarantee rider is irrevocable.

The initial payment guarantee benefit may not be available in all states.

11. OTHER INFORMATION

PFL Life Insurance Company

PFL Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa
on April 19, 1961 as NN Investors Life Insurance Company, Inc. It sells life
and health insurance and annuity contracts. PFL is a wholly-owned indirect
subsidiary of AEGON USA, Inc. All of the stock of AEGON USA, Inc., is
indirectly owned by AEGON N.V. of The Netherlands, the securities of which are
publicly traded. AEGON N.V., a holding company, conducts its business through
subsidiary companies engaged primarily in the insurance business. PFL is
licensed in the District of Columbia, Guam, and in all states except New York.

All obligations arising under the contracts, including the promise to make
annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of PFL.

The Separate Account

PFL established a separate account, called the PFL Retirement Builder Variable
Annuity Account, under the laws of the State of Iowa on March 29, 1996. The
separate account receives and currently invests the premium payments under the
contracts that are allocated to it for investment only in shares of One Group
Investment Trust. Detailed information about the One Group Investment Trust
portfolios is contained in the prospectus that is attached to this prospectus.
You should read the prospectus for each of the underlying portfolios of the One
Group Investment Trust before you invest.

The separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, the SEC does not supervise
the management, the investment practices, or the policies of the separate
account or PFL. The obligations to pay the benefits due under the contract are
PFL's responsibility.

The assets of the separate account are held in PFL's name on behalf of the
separate account and belong to PFL. However, those assets that underlie the
contracts are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
PFL may conduct.


                                       21
<PAGE>

Information about the separate account can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's
Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You may obtain information about the
operation of the public reference room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-
0330. In addition, the SEC maintains a web site (http://www.sec.gov) that
contains other information regarding the separate account.

Voting Rights

PFL will vote all shares of the underlying portfolios in accordance with
instructions we receive from you and other owners that have voting interests in
the portfolios. We will send you and other owners written requests for
instructions on how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions,
we will vote all of the shares in proportion to those instructions. If,
however, if it is determined that we are permitted to vote the shares in our
own right, we may do so.

Each person having a voting interest will receive proxy material, reports, and
other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.

Distributor of the Contracts

AFSG Securities Corporation is the principal underwriter of the contracts. Like
PFL, it is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, Inc. It is located
at 4333 Edgewood Road N.E., Cedar Rapids, IA 52499-0001. AFSG Securities
Corporation is registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. It is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(NASD). It was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1986.

Commissions of up to 6% of premium payments will be paid to broker/dealers who
sell the contracts under agreements with AFSG Securities Corporation. These
commissions are not deducted from premium payments. In addition, certain
production, persistency and managerial bonuses may be paid. PFL may also pay
compensation to banks and other financial institutions for their services in
connection with the sale and servicing of the contracts.

Variations in Contract Provisions

Certain provisions of the contracts may vary from the descriptions in this
prospectus in order to comply with different state laws. See your contract for
variations since any such state variations will be included in your contract or
in riders or endorsements attached to your contract.

IMSA

PFL is a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA). IMSA
is an independent, voluntary organization of life insurance companies. It
promotes high ethical standards in the sales and advertising of individual life
insurance and annuity products. Companies must undergo a rigorous self and
independent assessment of their practices to become a member of IMSA. The IMSA
logo in our sales literature shows our ongoing commitment to these standards.

Delay of Payments

PFL may delay any payments from the separate account if:
 .  the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for usual weekends or
   holidays or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted; or
 .  an emergency exists as defined by the SEC or the SEC requires that trading
   be restricted; or
 .  the SEC permits a delay for the protection of owners.

In addition, transfers of amounts from and within the subaccounts may be
deferred under these circumstances.

Pursuant to the requirements of certain state laws, we reserve the right to
defer fixed annuity payments for up to six months.

If a check has been submitted as the premium, we have the right to defer any
payments until the check has been honored.

Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings to which the separate account is a party or to
which the assets of the account are subject. PFL, like other life insurance
companies, is involved in lawsuits. In some class

                                       22
<PAGE>

action and other lawsuits involving other insurers, substantial damages have
been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the
outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, PFL believes that
at the present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are
reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the separate account or
PFL.

Financial Statements

The financial statements of PFL and the subaccounts are in the Statement of
Additional Information.

                          HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Standardized Performance Data

PFL may advertise historical yields and total returns for the subaccounts of
the separate account. These figures are based on historical earnings and are
calculated according to guidelines from the SEC. They do not indicate future
performance.

The yield of a subaccount of the separate account for a contract refers to the
annualized income generated by an investment under a contract in the subaccount
over a specified 30-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the
income generated by the investment during that 30-day period is generated each
30-day period over a 12-month period and is shown as a percentage of the
investment.

The total return of a subaccount of the separate account refers to return
quotations assuming an investment under a contract has been held in the
subaccount for various periods of time including a period measured from the
date the subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in
operation for 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively, the total return for these
periods will be provided. The total return quotations for a subaccount will
represent the average annual compounded rates of return that equate an initial
investment of $1,000 in the subaccount to the redemption value of that
investment as of the last day of each of the periods for which total return
quotations are provided.

The yield and total return calculations for a subaccount do not reflect the
effect of any premium taxes that may be applicable to a particular contract,
and they assume you do not elect the optional payment guarantee rider. The
yield calculations also do not reflect the effect of any surrender charge that
may be applicable to a particular contract. To the extent that any or all of a
premium tax and/or surrender charge is applicable to a particular contract, the
yield and/or total return of that contract will be reduced. For additional
information regarding yields and total returns calculated using the standard
formats briefly summarized above, please refer to the Statement of Additional
Information.

Based on the method of calculation described in the Statement of Additional
Information, the average annual total returns for periods from inception of the
subaccounts to December 31, 1999, are shown in Table 1 below. Total returns
shown reflect deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee (1.20%) and the
administrative charges (0.15%). Standard total return calculations will reflect
the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period.

(/1/The)inception date for all of the subaccounts is November 8, 1999.

Adjusted Historical Performance Data

The following graphs show how your annuity payments can fluctuate based on past
investment performance (net of all charges) of the portfolios through December
31, 1999. The information presented is for periods prior to the inception date
of the subaccounts. PFL did not sell the contracts prior to the subaccount
inception date, and therefore, the graphs illustrate what annuity payments
might have been under a contract had one existed during the years shown.

The graphs are based on the adjusted historical performance of the portfolios,
which means that the 1.35% separate account charge and the actual net expenses
of each portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1999, are reflected in the
graph for each portfolio. The graphs do not reflect any premium tax charge.

Each graph shows the effect that the portfolio's investment performance would
have had on the value of an annuity unit and, thus, the value of an annuity
payment if a contract with an AIR of 3.5%, providing an initial monthly annuity
payment of $500.00, was purchased on the date the portfolio commenced
operations. Each graph assumes that the entire premium of the hypothetical
contract was allocated to the subaccount being illustrated. Each graph also
assumes monthly variable payments (not stabilized payments) and that the
optional payment guarantee was not elected. Annuity payments increase for a
given month if the performance of the portfolio underlying the subaccounts, net
of all charges, for that month is higher than the AIR, and decreases for a
given month if the performance of the portfolio underlying the subaccounts, net
of all charges, for that month is lower than the AIR. The premium necessary for
an initial monthly annuity payment of $500.00 will vary depending on the age
and sex of the annuitant (and secondary annuitant, if any), the payment option
and the first annuity payment date. For example, suppose that a 65 year old
male who lives in a state that does not charge a premium tax wishes to purchase
$500.00 of an initial monthly variable annuity payment beginning on the
contract issue date with a life only payment option. If there is no secondary
annuitant, no guarantee period and he chooses a 3.5% AIR, the premium needed
would be $87,098.20. If the purchaser were female, the premium necessary would
be $96,474.35. This is because females have a longer life expectancy than
males.

The monthly payments depicted in the graphs are not based on actual contracts.
They are based on adjusted historical performance results of the portfolios and
are not projections or indications of future results. PFL does not guarantee
and does not suggest that any subaccount or contract issued by PFL will
generate these or similar average monthly payments for any period of time. The
graphs are for illustration purposes only and do not represent future variable
annuity payments or future investment returns. Variable

                                      B-2
<PAGE>

annuity payments under a real contract may be more or less than those forming
the basis for the monthly payments shown in these graphs, if the actual returns
of the portfolios selected by you are different from the adjusted historical
returns of the portfolios. It is very likely that a portfolio's investment
performance will fluctuate over time; therefore, you can expect that your
variable annuity payments will fluctuate. The total amount of variable annuity
payments ultimately received will depend upon the payment option selected by
you.

                          ADDITIONAL FUND INFORMATION

Banc One Investment Advisors Corporation is the investment advisor for the
underlying portfolios of One Group Investment Trust and is a registered
investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. Banc One
Investment Advisors is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank One
Corporation. It makes the day-to-day investment decisions for the portfolios
and continuously reviews, supervises and administers each portfolio's
investment program. Banc One Investment Advisors performs its responsibilities
subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, the Trustees of One
Group Investment Trust. Banc One Investment Advisors has served as investment
advisor to the One Group Investment Trust since its inception. In addition,
Banc One Investment Advisors serves as investment advisor to other mutual funds
and individual corporate charitable, and retirement accounts. Banc One
Investment Advisors is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid
monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each portfolio.

There is no assurance that any of the portfolios will achieve its investment
objective.

The One Group Investment Trust prospectus should be read carefully before any
decision is made concerning the allocation of the premium to a particular
subaccount.

An investment in the separate account, or in any portfolio, is not insured or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any government agency.

The investment objectives and policies of certain portfolios are similar to the
investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that may be managed by
Banc One Investment Advisors. The investment results of the portfolios,
however, may differ from the results of such other mutual funds. There can be
no assurance, and no representation is made, that the investment results of any
of the portfolios will be comparable to the investment results of any other
mutual fund, even if the other mutual fund has the same investment advisor or
manager.

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments. We cannot and do not
guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available to receive
premium allocations or transfers. We retain the right, subject to any
applicable law, to make certain changes in the separate account and its
investments. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolio held
by a subaccount and to substitute shares of another portfolio of One Group
Investment Trust or of another registered open-end management investment
company for the shares of any portfolio, if the shares of the portfolio are no
longer available for investment or, if in our judgment, are not reasonably
available to meet the requirements, of the separate account. To the extent
required by the 1940 Act, substitutions of shares attributable to an owner's
interest in a subaccount will not be made without prior notice to the owner and
the prior approval of the SEC. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the
separate account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes
of variable annuity contracts or from effecting an exchange between series or
classes of variable annuity contracts on the basis of requests made by owners.

New subaccounts may be established when, in our sole discretion, marketing,
tax, investment or other conditions warrant. Any new subaccounts may be made
available to existing owners on a basis to be determined by us. Each additional
subaccount will purchase shares in a mutual fund or other investment vehicle.
We may also eliminate one or more subaccounts if, in our sole discretion,
marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant such change. In the
event any subaccount is eliminated, we will notify owners and request a
reallocation of the amounts invested in the eliminated subaccount.

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

In the event of any such substitution or change, we may, by appropriate
endorsement, make such changes in the contracts as may be necessary or
appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. Furthermore, if deemed to
be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the contracts,
the separate account may be:

 .  operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form
   permitted by law,
 .  deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer
   required, or
 .  combined with one or more other separate accounts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also may

 .  transfer the assets of the separate account associated with the contracts to
   another account or accounts,
 .  restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or other persons who have
   voting rights as to the separate account,
 .  create new separate accounts,
 .  add new subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate
   account or combine subaccounts, or
 .  add new underlying funds, or substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

Resolving Material Conflicts. The One Group Investment Trust portfolios are
available to separate accounts offering variable annuity and variable life
products of other participating insurance companies and qualified retirement
plans, as well as to the separate account and other separate accounts we
establish. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this, there is a
possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interest of the
separate account and one or more of the other separate accounts investing in
the One Group Investment Trust. A conflict may occur due to a change in law
affecting the operations of variable life insurance and variable annuity
separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions we receive and
instructions received by other companies, or some other reason. In the event of
a conflict, it is possible that the separate account might be required to
withdraw its investment in the underlying portfolios. In the event of any
conflict, we will take any steps necessary to protect owners, annuitants,
secondary annuitants and beneficiaries.

                    ILLUSTRATIONS OF ANNUITY PAYMENT VALUES

The following graphs have been prepared to show how different variables affect
your variable annuity payments over time. The graphs incorporate hypothetical
rates of return and PFL does not guarantee that you will earn these returns for
any one year or any sustained period of time. The graphs are for illustrative
purposes only and do not represent past or future investment returns.

Your variable annuity payment may be more or less than the income shown if the
actual returns of the subaccounts are different than those illustrated. Since
it is very likely that your investment returns will fluctuate over time, you
can expect that the amount of your annuity payment will also fluctuate. The
total amount of annuity payments ultimately received will, in addition to the
investment performance of the subaccounts, also depend on how long you live and
whether you choose an optional payment guarantee rider. The graph assumes the
optional payment guarantee rider was not selected.

Another factor that determines the amount of your variable annuity payment is
the assumed investment return (AIR). Annuity payments will increase from one
variable annuity payment calculation date to the next if the performance of the
portfolio underlying the subaccounts, net of all charges, is greater than the
AIR and will decrease if the performance of the portfolio underlying the
subaccounts, net of all charges, is less than the AIR.

The "Hypothetical Illustration" graph below illustrates differences in monthly
variable annuity payments assuming different investment returns. The graph
assumes a single premium of $47,853.48; the entire premium was allocated to
variable annuity payments; the AIR is 3.5%; the payment option is Single Life
Annuity; a 81 year old male, and separate account charges of 1.35% and average
portfolio expenses of 0.84%. This results in the receipt of an initial annuity
payment in the amount of $500. The graph illustrates gross returns of 0.00%,
6.00%, and 10.00% (net returns after expenses are (2.19)%, 3.81%, and 7.81%,
respectively).

The "Monthly Payment Amounts with Different AIRs" graph below illustrates the
differences in variable annuity payments between selecting the 3.5% and 5% AIR.
The graph assumes a single premium of $47,853.48; the entire premium was
allocated to variable annuity payments; the payment option is a single Life
Annuity; 81 year old male; separate account charges of 1.35%; average portfolio
expenses of 0.84%; variable payments (not stabilized payments); no optional
payment guarantee rider; and an annual return of the portfolios, after all
expenses of 6%. Monthly variable annuity payments are shown with the 3.5% AIR
and the 5% AIR.

The annuity payment amounts shown reflect the deduction of all fees and
expenses. Actual fees and expenses under the contract may be higher or lower,
will vary from year to year, and will depend on how you allocate among the
portfolios. The separate account charge is assumed to be at an annual rate of
1.35% of the average daily net assets.

Upon request, we will furnish a customized illustration based on your
individual circumstances and choice of annuity options.

                               GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Annuitant and Secondary Annuitant - The person upon whose life the annuity
payments are based. For joint options, annuity payments are based upon the
lives of both the annuitant and secondary annuitant. Either the annuitant or
the secondary annuitant generally must be no older than 80 years of age on the
contract issue date.

Annuity Payments - Payments made by us to the payee pursuant to the payment
option chosen. Annuity payments may be either variable or a combination of
fixed and variable.

Assumed Investment Return or AIR - The annual effective rate shown in the
contract specifications section of the contract that is used in the
calculation of each variable annuity payment.

Beneficiary(ies) - The person(s) who may receive death proceeds or guaranteed
payments under this contract when there is no longer a living annuitant (or
last annuitant for joint options).

Contract Issue Date - The date the contract becomes effective. This will be
stated in the contract. Generally, the date the initial premium is allocated
to the separate account.

Owner(s) - "You," "your," and "yours." The person or entity named in the
contract specifications section who may, while any annuitant is living,
exercise all rights granted by the contract. The annuitant must be the owner,
if the contract is a qualified contract. If there is a secondary annuitant, he
or she may also be an owner (except for a qualified contract, where only one
owner is permitted). The secondary annuitant is never required to be an owner.

Payee - The person or entity to whom annuity payments are paid.

Payment Date - The date an annuity payment is paid to the payee. The payment
amount will be determined no more than seven business days before each payment
date. We may require evidence that any annuitant(s) and/or payee is/are alive
on the payment date.

Separate Account - PFL Retirement Builder Variable Annuity Account.

Stabilized Payment - The variable annuity payment you receive. Stabilized
payments are determined annually at your contract anniversary and are paid in
according to the annuity payment frequency you select. You can choose not to
stabilize your variable annuity payments in which case each payment fluctuates
based on the performance of the selected subaccounts.

Subaccount - The investment options or divisions of the separate account. Each
subaccount invests in a different portfolio of the funds. We may make
additional subaccounts available in the future.

Successor Owner - The person named by the owner to whom ownership of the
contract passes upon the owner's death. If the owner is also the annuitant,
the annuitant's beneficiary(ies) is entitled to the death proceeds of the
contract. If no person is named, the owner's estate shall be deemed the
successor owner.

Supportable Payment - The amount equal to the sum of the variable annuity unit
values times the number of variable annuity units in each of the selected
subaccounts. The variable annuity units will be adjusted to reflect the year-
to-date difference between stabilized and non-stabilized payments.

Valuation Day - Each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

Variable Annuity Unit - Variable annuity payments are expressed in terms of
variable annuity units, the value of which fluctuates in relation to the
selected subaccounts.

                       THE CONTRACT - GENERAL PROVISIONS

Transfers

You may transfer amounts within the various subaccounts. You may also transfer
amounts from variable to fixed annuity payments at any time. If you do, then
the payment option for the fixed annuity payments will be a continuation of
the payment option currently applicable to variable annuity payments.
Transfers from fixed to variable annuity payments are not permitted. We may
charge a fee for excessive transfers (we currently do not charge for
transfers) or decline to accept excessive transfers.

Excessive trading activity can disrupt portfolio management strategy and
increase portfolio expenses, which are borne by everyone participating in the
portfolio regardless of their transfer activity.

In some cases, contracts may be sold to individuals who independently utilize
the services of a firm or individual engaged in market timing. Generally,
market timing services obtain authorization from contract owner(s) to make
transfers and exchanges among the subaccounts on the basis of perceived market
trends. Because the large transfers of assets associated with market timing
services may disrupt the management of the portfolios of the underlying funds,
such transactions may hurt contract owners not utilizing the market timing
service. Therefore, we may restrict or eliminate the right to make transfers
among subaccounts if such rights are executed by a market timing firm or
similar third party authorized to initiate transfers or exchange transactions
on behalf of a contract owner(s).

In modifying such rights, we may, among other things, decline to accept:

 .  transfer or exchange instructions of any agent acting under a power of
   attorney on behalf of more than one contract owner, or

 .  transfer or exchange instructions of individual contract owners who have
   executed pre-authorized transfer or exchange forms which are submitted by
   market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one
   contract owner at the same time.

We will impose such restrictions only if we believe (or Banc One Advisors
believes) that doing so will prevent harm to other contract owners.

Delay of Transfers

When you transfer amounts among the subaccounts, we will redeem shares of the
appropriate portfolios at their prices as of the end of the current valuation
period. Generally any subaccount you transfer to is credited at the same time.
However, we may wait to credit the amount to a new subaccount until a
subaccount you transfer from becomes liquid. This will happen only if (1) the
subaccount you transfer to invests in a portfolio that accrues dividends on a
daily basis and requires federal funds before accepting a purchase order, and
(2) the subaccount you transfer from is investing in an equity portfolio in an
illiquid position due to substantial redemptions or transfers that require it
to sell portfolio securities in order to make funds available. The subaccount
you transfer from will be liquid when it receives proceeds from sales of
portfolio securities, the purchase of new contracts, or otherwise. During any
period that we wait to credit a subaccount for this reason, the amount you
transfer will be uninvested. After seven days the transfer will be made even
if the subaccount you transfer from is not liquid.

Entire Contract

The entire contract is made up of the contract, and any riders, endorsements,
or application (including any application supplement of investment allocation
form). No change in or waiver of any provision of the contract is valid unless
the change or waiver is signed by the President or Secretary of PFL.

Assignment

The option to assign is only available for non-tax qualified annuities. Only
you may make an assignment of this contract. You must notify us in writing to
assign this contract. No change will apply to any action taken by us before
the written notice was received. We are not responsible for the validity or
the effect of an assignment.

Beneficiary

The beneficiary is named in the contract specifications section of the
contract or in a subsequent endorsement. More than one beneficiary may be
named. The rights of any beneficiary will be subject to all the provisions of
the contract. You may impose other limitations with our consent.

If any primary or contingent beneficiary dies before the annuitant, that
beneficiary's interest in this contract ends with that beneficiary's death.
Only those beneficiaries living at the time of the annuitant's death will be
eligible to receive their share of the death benefits. In the event no
contingent beneficiaries have been named and all primary beneficiaries have
died before the death benefits become payable, the owner(s) will become the
beneficiary(ies) unless elected otherwise. If both primary and contingent
beneficiaries have been named, payment will be made to the named primary
beneficiaries living at the time the death proceeds become payable. If there
is more than one beneficiary and you failed to specify their interest, they
will share equally. Payment will be made to the named contingent
beneficiary(ies) only if all primary beneficiaries have died before the death
benefits become payable. If any primary beneficiary is alive at the time the
death benefits become payable, but dies before receiving their payment, their
share will be paid to their estate.

Change of Beneficiary

You may change the beneficiary while the annuitant is living, unless an
irrevocable one has been named. Change is made by written notice. The change
takes effect on the date the written notice was signed, and the written notice
must have been postmarked on or before the date of the annuitant's death. No
change will apply to any annuity payment made before the written notice was
received. We may require return of the contract for endorsement before making
a change.

Incontestability

The contract is incontestable from the contract issue date.

Misstatement of Sex or Age

If the age or sex of any annuitant has been misstated, the annuity payments
will be those which the premium paid would have purchased for the correct age
and sex. Any underpayment made by us will be paid with the next annuity
payment. Any overpayment made by us will be deducted from future annuity
payments. Any underpayment or overpayment will include interest at 5% per
year, from the date of the incorrect payment to the date of the adjustment.

Modification of Contract

No change in the contract is valid unless made in writing.

Nonparticipating

Your contract is nonparticipating. This means we do not pay dividends on it.
Your contract will not share in our profits or surplus earnings.

Owner

You, the owner, are named in the contract specifications section. You may,
while any annuitant is living, exercise all rights granted by the contract.
These rights are subject to the rights of any assignee or living irrevocable
beneficiary. "Irrevocable" means that you have given up your right to change
the beneficiary named.

Unless we have been notified of a community or marital property interest in
the contract, we will rely on our good faith belief that no such interest
exists and will assume no responsibility for inquiry.

Proof of Death

Any beneficiary claiming an interest in the contract must provide us in
writing with due proof of death of the payee/annuitant and/or secondary
annuitant (if any). We will not be responsible for annuity payments made
before we receive due proof of death at the Administrative and Service Office.

Proof of Survival

If annuity payments under the contract depend on a person being alive on a
given date, proof of survival may be required by us prior to making annuity
payments.

Death Before First Payment Date

If any owner, who is an annuitant, dies before the first payment date, the
amount of the death proceeds is the premium plus or minus the investment
performance of the subaccounts. If any owner, who is not an annuitant, dies
before the first payment date, the successor owner may direct the owner's
interest in the contract to be distributed as follows:

 .  one cash lump sum to be distributed within five years of the deceased
   owner's death; or

 .  annuitize the value of the annuity payments over the lifetime of the
   successor owner with payments to begin within one year of the owner's
   death; or

 .  annuitize the value of the annuity payments over a period that does not
   exceed the life expectancy of the successor owner, as defined by the
   Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code), with payments to begin
   within one year of the owner's death.

If the deceased owner was also an annuitant, the annuitant's beneficiary is
entitled to the benefit described above. If no person is named as the
successor owner, the owner's estate shall be deemed the successor owner.

Non-natural successor owners may only choose a lump sum distribution. For
qualified contracts, any option chosen must meet the requirements of the Code.

Protection of Proceeds

Unless you so direct by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may
assign payments under the contract before the same are due. To the extent
permitted by law, no payments under the contract will be subject to the claims
of creditors of any beneficiary.

1035 Exchanges

If your purchase is a section 1035 exchange, you may exchange two or more
annuities for this one. In these instances, we will start your contract on the
date we receive the first premium installment. Each premium installment will
be invested in the investment options you select when it is received. When we
receive the final premium installment, we will purchase annuity units with the
entire premium (the final premium installment plus the current value of the
previous premium installments).

If you exchange one or more deferred annuities for this one, please contact a
tax adviser.

Present Value of Future Variable Payments

The present value of future variable payments is calculated by taking (a) the
supportable payment on the business day we receive the surrender request,
times (b) the number of payments remaining, discounted using a rate equal to
the AIR.

Stabilized Payments

The stabilized payments remain constant throughout each year and are adjusted
on your contract anniversary. Had you not selected stabilized payments, each
payment throughout the year would fluctuate based on the performance of your
selected subaccounts. To reflect the difference in these payments we adjust
(both increase and decrease as appropriate) the number of annuity units. The
units are adjusted when we calculate the supportable payment. Supportable
payments are used in the calculation of surrender values, death benefits and
transfers. On your contract anniversary we set the new stabilized payment
equal to the current supportable payment. In the case of an increase in the
number of variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment
performance will be increased since more variable annuity units are credited
to your contract. Conversely, in the case of a reduction of the number of
variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment
performance will be decreased since fewer variable annuity units are credited
to your account.

The following table demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the changes
in the number of variable annuity units. The changes in the variable annuity
unit values reflect the investment performance of the applicable subaccounts
as well as the separate account charge.

Surrender Value. When you have elected stabilized payments, the amount of the
surrender value, if any, is calculated using the current supportable payment
instead of the stabilized payment. Partial surrenders will reduce the next
stabilized payment, and the guaranteed payment, pro rata. For example, if you
surrender 50% of the value of your variable annuity payments, the stabilized
payment will be reduced by 50%.

Death Benefit. When you have elected stabilized payments, the amount of the
death benefit, if any, is calculated using the current supportable payment
instead of the stabilized payment.

Transfers. Transfers from variable to fixed annuity payments will reduce the
next stabilized payment pro rata. For example, if you transfer 25% of the
value of your variable annuity payments to fixed annuity payments, the
stabilized payment will be reduced by 25%. The reduction will be reflected in
your next payment. Transfers from fixed to variable annuity payments are not
allowed.

Effect Of Payment Options With Reduced Payments To The Survivor On Stabilized
Payments. If you have selected a Joint and Survivor payment option with
reduced payments to the surviving annuitant, the next stabilized payment will
be reduced pro rata at the death of the first annuitant. For example, if you
selected the Joint and 75% Survivor Life Annuity payment option, upon the
death of either annuitant the next stabilized payment will be reduced to 75%
of their pre-death values.

Certain Only Payment Option. Please note that if you have chosen a Certain
Only payment option with stabilized payments, your final payment will be the
supportable payment (or the guaranteed payment if you selected one of the
payment guarantees and the supportable payment is less than the guaranteed
payment). This is done to ensure you receive the full investment performance,
both positive and negative, of the subaccounts you selected.

Optional Payment Guarantee Rider

PFL bears the risk that it must continue to make the guaranteed minimum or
stabilized payments, even if the supportable payments would be lower because
some variable annuity units have been used to maintain the stabilized
payments. In addition, PFL bears the risk that it will need to continue to
make payments even if all variable annuity units have been used in an attempt
to maintain the stabilized payments at the guaranteed payment level (that is,
the number of units has gone down to zero). If all the variable annuity units
have been used, all future payments will equal the guaranteed minimum payment
and the amount of your future variable annuity payment will not increase or
decrease and will not depend upon the performance of any variable investment
option. To compensate PFL for this and other risks, a rider fee will be
deducted.

Adjustments to Guaranteed Payment Under Optional Payment Guarantee Rider

Partial Surrenders. Partial surrenders will reduce the guaranteed payment pro
rata. For example, if you surrender 50% of the value of your variable annuity
payments, the guaranteed payment will be reduced by 50%.

Transfers. Transfers from variable to fixed annuity payments will reduce the
guaranteed payment pro rata. For example, if you transfer 25% of the value of
your variable annuity payments to fixed annuity payments, the guaranteed
payment will be reduced by 25%. Transfers from fixed to variable annuity
payments are not allowed.

Reduced Payments under Certain Payment Options. If you have selected a Joint
and Survivor payment option with reduced payments to the surviving annuitant,
the guaranteed payment will be reduced pro rata at the death of the first
annuitant. For example, if you selected the Joint and 75% Survivor Life
Annuity payment option, upon the death of either annuitant the guaranteed
payment will be reduced to 75% of its pre-death value.

Asset Allocation Models

General. Rather than selecting individual portfolios (i.e., being "self-
directed") you can select one of four investment allocation models that are
listed on the Investment Allocation Form (which is part of the application).
The amount invested in each subaccount will vary depending on the model's
particular asset allocation percentages.

                                       8
<PAGE>

The asset allocation percentages for each model are shown on the Investment
Allocation Form. The four investment allocation models, listed in descending
percentage of equity holdings, are:

 .  Growth Model

 .  Growth & Income Model

 .  Balanced Model

 .  Conservative Growth Model

The models are general asset mixes. They were developed by Banc One Investment
Advisors Corporation and may or may not be appropriate for you. Banc One
Investment Advisors Corporation serves as an investment advisor to the One
Group Investment Trust Portfolios for which it receives a fee. Banc One
Investment Advisors is not providing investment advice or any other service to
you. There is no guarantee that the models will achieve any desired results or
objectives.

The models should not be considered personal investment advice or serve as the
sole or primary basis for making investment decisions. You should consider
factors such as your age, goals and risk tolerance in selecting a model. You
are solely responsible for determining if a model is right for you.

Before selecting a model, please note:

 .  only one model can be used at a time;

 .  you cannot allocate premium to any other subaccount if you select a model;

 .  each model's allocation percentages may change (which terminates that
   model);

 .  transfers you make between the various subaccounts will terminate your
   model; and

 .  transfers from variable to fixed payments will be pro rata from the
   applicable subaccounts.

Rebalancing. Each model will be automatically rebalanced each year on the
contract anniversary date. Rebalancing a model may involve transferring from
subaccounts with higher returns into subaccounts with relatively lower returns
in order to maintain the model's asset allocation percentages. Transfers made
as a result of automatic rebalancing are not counted against your 6 free
transfers (in the event transfer fees are imposed in the future). Automatic
rebalancing ends upon the termination of a model.

Termination. You can stop using (i.e., terminate) a model at any time by
notifying us at our administrative and service office or by transferring
amounts between the various subaccounts.

A model will also terminate if you are notified that it will be replaced with
a "new" model with different asset allocation percentages. Unless you sign and
return to us within 45 days after the date of the notice, a form rejecting the
new asset allocation percentages, you will be deemed to have accepted the new
model. If you reject the new model as previously described, you will:

 .  keep your current asset allocation percentages;

 .  be considered "self-Directed"; and

 .  not receive automatic rebalancing.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

Tax Status of the Contracts

The discussion in the prospectus assumes that the contracts qualify as
"annuity contracts" for federal income tax purposes under the Code.

Diversification Requirements. Section 817(h) of the Code provides that
separate account investments underlying a contract must be "adequately
diversified" in accordance with Treasury Department regulations in order for
the contract to qualify as an annuity contract under Section 72 of the Code.
The separate account, through each underlying fund, intends to comply with the
diversification requirements prescribed in regulations under Section 817(h) of
the Code, which affect how the assets in the various subaccounts may be
invested. Although PFL does not have direct control over the underlying funds
in which the separate account invests, PFL believes that each fund will meet
the diversification requirements, and therefore, the contract will be treated
as an annuity contract under the Code.

Owner Control. 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 contracts. In those
circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be
includable in the variable annuity contract owner's gross income. The IRS has
stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered
the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possessed incidents
of ownership in those announced, in connection with the issuance of
regulations concerning investment 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 contract owner), 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 policy-holders may direct their investments to particular Sub-Accounts
without being treated as owners of the underlying assets."

The ownership rights under the contracts are similar to, but different in
certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that contract owners were not owners of separate account assets.
For example, the contract owner has the choice of several subaccounts in which
to allocate the premium, and may be able to transfer among subaccounts more
frequently than in such rulings. In addition, the contract provides for more
subaccounts than did the variable contracts that were the subject of such
rulings. These differences could result in a contract owner being treated as
the owner of the assets of the separate account. In addition, PFL does 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. PFL therefore
reserves the right to modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent
the contract owner from being considered the owner of the separate account's
assets.

Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for
federal income tax purposes, section 72(s) of the Code requires any non-
qualified contract to provide that: (a) if any contract owner dies on or after
the Annuity Starting Date (as defined in the prospectus) but prior to the time
the entire interest in the contract 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 contract owner's
death; and (b) if any contract owner dies prior to the Annuity Starting Date,
the entire interest in the contract will be distributed within five years
after the date of the contract owner's death. These requirements will be
considered satisfied as to any portion of the contract owner's interest that
is payable to or for the benefit of a "designated beneficiary," and that is
distributed over the life of such designated beneficiary or over a period not
extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, provided that such
distributions begin within one year of that contract owner's death. The
"designated beneficiary" for these purposes is the person who becomes the new
owner of the contract upon a contract owner's death and must be a natural
person. However, if the contract owner's sole designated beneficiary is the
surviving spouse of the contract owner, the contract may be continued with the
surviving spouse as the new contract owner. The Code further provides that if
the contract owner is not an individual, the primary annuitant shall be
treated as the contract owner for purposes of making distributions that are
required to be made

                                      10
<PAGE>

upon the death of the contract owner. (The primary annuitant is the individual
the events in the life of whom are of primary importance in effecting the
timing and amount of the payout under the contract. If there is a change in
the primary annuitant, such change shall be treated as the death of the
contract owner. The contract does not permit a change of the annuitants,
however.

Non-qualified contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with
the requirements of Section 72(s) of the Code, although no regulations
interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. PFL will review such
provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the
requirements of Code Section 72(s) when clarified by regulation or otherwise.
Qualified contracts are subject to similar provisions.

Taxation of PFL

PFL at present is taxed as a life insurance company under part I of Subchapter
L of the Code. The separate account is treated as part of PFL and,
accordingly, will not be taxed separately as a "regulated investment company"
under Subchapter M of the Code. We do not expect to incur any federal income
tax liability with respect to investment income and net capital gains arising
from the activities of the separate account retained as part of the reserves
under the contract. Based on this expectation, it is anticipated that no
charges will be made against the separate account for federal income taxes.
If, in future years, any federal income taxes are incurred by PFL with respect
to the separate account, we may make a charge to the separate account.

                             INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE

A "net investment factor" is used to determine the value of variable annuity
units and to determine the amount of annuity payments as follows:

Annuity Unit Value and Annuity Payment Rates

The amount of variable annuity payments will vary with variable annuity unit
values. Variable annuity unit values rise if the net investment performance of
the subaccount exceeds the assumed investment return. Conversely, variable
annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount
is less than the assumed rate. The value of a variable annuity unit in each
subaccount was established at $1.00 on the date operations began for that
subaccount. The value of a variable annuity unit on any subsequent business
day is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c), where:

  (a) is the variable annuity unit value for that subaccount on the
  immediately preceding business day;

  (b) is the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation
  period; and

  (c) is the daily factor for the valuation period.

The daily factor for the valuation period is a discount factor that reflects
the assumed investment return. The valuation period is the period from the
close of the immediately preceding business day to the close of the current
business day.

The net investment factor for the contract used to calculate the value of a
variable annuity unit in each subaccount for the valuation period is
determined by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

  (a) is the net result of:

    (1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount
    determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus

    (2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
    made by the fund for shares held in that subaccount if the ex-dividend
    date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus

                                      11
<PAGE>

    (3) a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which we
    determine to have resulted from the investment operations of the
    subaccount;

  (b) is the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount
  determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and

  (c) is an amount representing the separate account charge as shown in the
  specifications section of the contract.

The dollar amount of subsequent variable annuity payments will depend upon
changes in applicable variable annuity unit values.

   Illustrations of Calculation for Annuity Unit Value and Variable Annuity
   Payments

   Formula and Illustration for Determining Annuity Unit Value in each
   Subaccount

Variable annuity unit value = V = A x B x C

Where: A = variable annuity unit value for the immediately preceding valuation
           period.
       B = net investment factor for the valuation period for which the variable
           annuity unit value is being calculated.
       C = a daily factor to neutralize the assumed investment return built into
           the annuity tables used.
       C = (1/(1 + AIR)) (1/365) = 0.999905754 (3.5% AIR) OR 0.999866337 (5%
           AIR)
<TABLE>
<S>                                               <C>
For example, if the AIR is 5% and:                A = $20 on the day prior to the first payment
                                                  B = 1.01
                                                  C = 1/(1.05)/(1/365)/ = 0.999866337

Then, the variable annuity unit value is equal to V = A x B x C
                                                    = $20 x 1.01 x .999866337
                                                    = 20.1973

Formula and Illustration for Determining Amount of First Monthly Variable
Annuity Payment

First monthly variable annuity payment = P = (D x E)/$1,000

Where:          D = the contract value as of the contract issue date.
                E = the annuity purchase rate per $1,000 based upon the option
                    selected, the sex and adjusted age of the annuitant
                    according to the tables contained in the contract.

For example if: D = $100,000
                E = 7.00

Then, the first monthly variable annuity payment is equal to P = (D x E)/$1,000
                                                               = ($100,000 x 7.00)/$1,000
                                                               = $700

Formula and Illustration for Determining the Number of Annuity Units Represented
by Each Monthly Variable Annuity Payment (assuming investment in only one
Subaccount)

Number of variable annuity units = U = P/V

Where:      P = the dollar amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment.
            V = the variable annuity unit value for the valuation date on
                which the first monthly payment is due.

<PAGE>

For example if:P = $700
               V = 20.1973

Then, the variable annuity units is equal to U = P/V
                                               = $700/20.1973
                                               = 34.6581 units

Formula and Illustration for Determining a Future Monthly Variable Annuity
Payment (assuming investment in only one Subaccount)

Monthly variable annuity payment = P = U x V

Where:          U = the variable annuity units
                V = the variable annuity unit value for the valuation date on
                    which the future monthly payment is due.

For example if: U = 34.6581
                V = 20.6970 (the variable annuity unit value increased since
                    issue)

Then, the amount of the monthly variable annuity payment = U x V
                                                         = 34.6581 x 20.6970
                                                         = $717.32

If the variable annuity unit value had actually decreased to V = 19.6970, the
resulting monthly variable annuity payment would = U x V
                                                 = 34.6581 x 19.6970
                                                 = $682.66

Illustration 4 assumes that no transfers or surrenders are made between
determining the number of variable annuity units and determining the future
monthly variable annuity payment; therefore, the number of variable annuity
units in Illustrations 3 and 4 are the same.

                            STATE REGULATION OF PFL

We are subject to the laws of Iowa governing insurance companies and to
regulation by the Iowa Division of Insurance. An annual statement in a
prescribed form is filed with the Division of Insurance each year covering our
operation for the preceding year and its financial condition as of the end of
such year. Regulation by the Division of Insurance includes periodic
examination to determine our contract liabilities and reserves so that the
Division may determine the items are correct. Our books and accounts are
subject to review by the Division of Insurance at all times and a full
examination of its operations is conducted periodically by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners. In addition, we are subject to
regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which we may
operate.

                                ADMINISTRATION

We perform administrative services for the contracts. These services include
issuance of the contracts, maintenance of records concerning the contracts,
and certain valuation services.

                              RECORDS AND REPORTS

All records and accounts relating to the separate account will be maintained
by us. As presently required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
regulations promulgated thereunder, we will mail to all owners at their last
known address of record, at least annually, reports containing such
information as may be required under that Act or by any other applicable law
or regulation. Owners will also receive confirmation of each financial
transaction and any other reports required by law or regulation.

                                      13
<PAGE>

                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

The contracts are offered to the public through brokers licensed under the
federal securities laws and state insurance laws. The offering of the
contracts is continuous and we do not anticipate discontinuing the offering of
the contracts. However, we reserve the right to discontinue the offering of
the contracts.

AFSG Securities Corporation, an affiliate of PFL, is the principal underwriter
of the contracts and may enter into agreements with broker-dealers for the
distribution of the contracts.

                                OTHER PRODUCTS

We make other variable annuity contracts available that may also be funded
through the separate account. These variable annuity contracts may have
different features, such as different investment options or charges.

                               CUSTODY OF ASSETS

The assets of each of the subaccounts of the separate account are held by us.
The assets of each of the subaccounts of the separate account are segregated
and held separate and apart from the assets of the other subaccounts and from
our general account assets. We maintain records of all purchases and
redemptions of shares of the underlying funds held by each of the subaccounts.
Additional protection for the assets of the separate account is afforded by
our fidelity bond, presently in the amount of $5,000,000, covering the acts of
our officers and employees.

                          HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
Subaccount Yields

We may from time to time advertise or disclose the current annualized yield of
one or more of the subaccounts of the separate account for 30-day periods. The
annualized yield of a subaccount refers to income generated by the subaccount
over a specific 30-day period. Because the yield is annualized, the yield
generated by a subaccount during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated
each 30-day period over a 12-month period. The yield is computed by: (i)
dividing the net investment income of the subaccount less subaccount expenses
for the period, by (ii) the maximum offering price per unit on the last day of
the period times the daily average number of units outstanding for the period,
compounding that yield for a 6-month period, and (iii) multiplying that result
by 2. Expenses attributable to the subaccount include the separate account
charge. The 30-day yield is calculated according to the following formula:

                  Yield = 2 x ((((NI-ES)/(U x UV)) + 1)/6/-1)

Where:
NI  =   net investment income of the subaccount for the 30-day period
        attributable to the subaccount's.
ES  =   expenses of the subaccount for the 30-day period.
U   =   the average number of units outstanding.
UV  =   the unit value at the close (highest) of the last day in the 30-day
        period.

Because of the charges imposed by the separate account, the yield for a
subaccount of the separate account will be lower than the yield for its
corresponding portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of
any premium taxes or surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular
contract.

The yield on amounts held in the subaccounts of the separate account 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 subaccount's actual yield is affected by the types and quality of
its investments and its operating expenses.

                                      14
<PAGE>

Total Returns

We may from time to time also advertise or disclose total returns for one or
more of the subaccounts of the separate account for various periods of time.
One of the periods of time will include the period measured from the date the
subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in operation for
1, 5 and 10 years, respectively, the total return for these periods will be
provided. Total returns for other periods of time may from time to time also
be disclosed. Total returns represent the average annual compounded rates of
return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000 to the redemption
value of that investment as of the last day of each of the periods. The ending
date for each period for which total return quotations are provided will be
for the most recent month end practicable, considering the type and media of
the communication and will be stated in the communication.

Total returns will be calculated using subaccount unit values which we
calculate on each business day based on the performance of the subaccount's
underlying portfolio, and the deduction for the separate account charge. Total
return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be
applicable to a particular period. The total return will then be calculated
according to the following formula:

                              P (1 + T)/n/ = ERV

Where:

T=the average annual total return net of subaccount recurring charges.
ERV=the ending redeemable value of the hypothetical account at the end of the
period.
P=a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
N=the number of years in the period.

Other Performance Data

We may from time to time also disclose average annual total returns in a non-
standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above.

We may from time to time also disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction
with the standard format described above. The cumulative returns will be
calculated using the following formula. The charges reflected in the
cumulative total returns include the actual total annual portfolio expenses of
the applicable fund and the separate account charge of 1.35%.

                               CTR = (ERV/P) -1

Where:
CTR=the cumulative total return net of subaccount recurring charges for the
period.
ERV=the ending redeemable value of the hypothetical investment at the end of
the period.
P=a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.

All non-standard performance data will only be advertised if the standard
performance data for the same period, as well as for the required period, is
also disclosed.

Adjusted Historical Performance Data

From time to time, sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual
total returns for periods prior to the date the separate account commenced
operations. Such performance information for the subaccounts will be
calculated based on the performance of the various portfolios and the
assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as
those indicated for the portfolios, with the level of contract charges that
were in effect at the inception of the subaccounts.

                        Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
PFL Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of PFL Life
Insurance Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statutory-basis statements of
operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included
the accompanying statutory-basis financial statement schedules required by
Article 7 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its
financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of
Iowa, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. The variances between such practices and accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States also are described in Note
1. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not
reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the matter described in the preceding
paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, the financial position of PFL Life Insurance Company at December 31,
1999 and 1998, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999.

                                       1
<PAGE>

However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PFL Life Insurance
Company at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in
relation to the basic statutory-basis financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

PFL Life Insurance Company ("the Company") is a stock life insurance company
and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First AUSA Life Insurance Company ("First
AUSA"), which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, Inc.
("AEGON"). AEGON is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a
holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.

Nature of Business

The Company sells individual non-participating whole life, endowment and term
contracts, as well as a broad line of single fixed and flexible premium
annuity products. In addition, the Company offers group life, universal life,
and individual and specialty health coverages. The Company is licensed in 49
states and the District of Columbia and Guam. Sales of the Company's products
are primarily through the Company's agents and financial institutions.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions are utilized in the calculation of
aggregate policy reserves, policy and contract claim reserves, guaranty fund
assessment accruals and valuation allowances on investments. It is reasonably
possible that actual experience could differ from the estimates and
assumptions utilized which could have a material impact on the financial
statements.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division,
Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa ("Insurance Department"), which
practices differ in some respects from generally accepted accounting
principles. The more significant of these differences are as follows: (a)
bonds are generally reported at amortized cost rather than segregating the
portfolio into held-to-maturity (reported at amortized cost), available-for-
sale (reported at fair value), and trading (reported at fair value)
classifications; (b) acquisition costs of acquiring new business are charged
to current operations as incurred rather than deferred and amortized over the
life of the policies; (c) policy reserves on traditional life products

are based on statutory mortality rates and interest which may differ from
reserves based on reasonable assumptions of expected mortality, interest, and
withdrawals which include a provision for possible unfavorable deviation from
such assumptions; (d) policy reserves on certain investment products use
discounting methodologies based on statutory interest rates rather than full
account values; (e) reinsurance amounts are netted against the corresponding
asset or liability rather than shown as gross amounts on the balance sheet;
(f) deferred income taxes are not provided for the difference between the
financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities; (g) net
realized gains or losses attributed to changes in the level of interest rates
in the market are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the bond
or mortgage loan, rather than recognized as gains or losses in the statement
of operations when the sale is completed; (h) potential declines in the
estimated realizable value of investments are provided for through the
establishment of a formula-determined statutory investment reserve (reported
as a liability), changes to which are charged directly to surplus, rather than
through recognition in the statement of operations for declines in value, when
such declines are judged to be other than temporary; (i) certain assets
designated as "non-admitted assets" have been charged to surplus rather than
being reported as assets; (j) revenues for universal life and investment
products consist of premiums received rather than policy charges for the cost
of insurance, policy administration charges, amortization of policy initiation
fees and surrender charges assessed; (k) pension expense is recorded as
amounts are paid; (l) stock options settled in cash are recorded as expense of
the Company's indirect parent rather than charged to current operations; (m)
adjustments to federal income taxes of prior years are charged or credited
directly to unassigned surplus, rather than reported as a component of expense
in the statement of operations; (n) gains or losses on dispositions of
business are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus rather than
being reported in the statement of operations; and (o) a liability is
established for "unauthorized reinsurers" and changes in this liability are
charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. The effects of these
variances have not been determined by the Company but are presumed to be
material.

In 1998, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") adopted
codified statutory accounting principles ("Codification") effective January 1,
2001. Codification will likely change, to some extent, prescribed statutory
accounting practices and may result in changes to the accounting practices
that the Company uses to prepare its statutory-basis financial statements.
Codification will require adoption by the various states before it becomes the
prescribed statutory basis of accounting for insurance companies domesticated
within those states. Accordingly, before Codification becomes effective for
the Company, the State of Iowa must adopt Codification as the prescribed basis
of accounting on which domestic insurers must report their statutory-basis
results to the Insurance Department. At this time, it is anticipated that the
State of Iowa will adopt Codification. However, based on current guidance,
management believes that the impact of Codification will not be material to
the Company's statutory-basis financial statements.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with remaining maturity of one year or less when purchased
to be short-term investments.

Investments

Investments in bonds (except those to which the Securities Valuation Office of
the NAIC has ascribed a value), mortgage loans on real estate and short-term
investments are reported at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accrual of discounts. Amortization is computed using methods which result in a
level yield over the expected life of the investment. The Company reviews its
prepayment assumptions on mortgage and other asset-backed securities at
regular intervals and adjusts amortization rates retrospectively when such
assumptions are changed due to experience and/or expected future patterns.
Investments in preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost.
Investments in preferred stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower
of cost or market. Common stocks of unaffiliated and affiliated companies,
which includes shares of mutual funds and real estate investment trusts, are
carried at market value. Real estate is reported at cost less allowances for
depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line
method. Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal. Other invested assets
consist principally of investments in various joint ventures and are recorded
at equity in underlying net assets. Other "admitted assets" are valued,
principally at cost, as required or permitted by Iowa Insurance Laws.

Net realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific
identification and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. The Asset
Valuation Reserve ("AVR") is established by the Company to provide for
potential losses in the event of default by issuers of certain invested
assets. These amounts are determined using a formula prescribed by the NAIC
and are reported as a liability. The formula for the AVR provides for a
corresponding adjustment for realized gains and losses. Under a formula
prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers, in the Interest Maintenance
Reserve ("IMR"), the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed
income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to
changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals
over the remaining period to maturity of the security.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue
income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or
foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or on real estate
where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Further, income is not
accrued when collection is uncertain. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company
excluded investment income due and accrued of $530, $102 and $177,
respectively, with respect to such practices.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its overall interest
rate risk management strategy for certain life insurance and annuity products.
The Company entered into several interest rate swap contracts to modify the
interest rate characteristics of the underlying liabilities. The net interest
effect of such swap transactions is reported as an adjustment of interest
income from the hedged items as incurred.

The Company has entered into an interest rate cap agreement to hedge the
exposure of changing interest rates. The cash flows from the interest rate cap
will help offset losses that might occur from changes in interest rates. The
cost of such agreement is included in interest expense ratably during the life
of the agreement. Income received as a result of the cap agreement will be
recognized in investment income as earned. Unamortized cost of the agreement
is included in other invested assets.

Aggregate Policy Reserves

Life, annuity and accident and health benefit reserves are developed by
actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables based on
statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide,
in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum
required by law.

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based
principally upon the 1941, 1958 and 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary
Mortality and American Experience Mortality Tables. The reserves are
calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 6.00 percent and are
computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioners'
Reserve Valuation Methods. Reserves for universal life policies are based on
account balances adjusted for the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method.

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioners'
Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover
situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender
charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for
immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with life contingencies are
equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging
from 2.50 to 11.25 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a
variety of tables.

Accident and health policy reserves are equal to the greater of the gross
unearned premiums or any required midterminal reserves plus net unearned
premiums and the present value of amounts not yet due on both reported and
unreported claims.

Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported
to the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the statement
date. These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis
valuations or statistical analysis techniques. These estimates are subject to
the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are
continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new
information becomes available.

Separate Accounts

Assets held in trust for purchases of variable annuity contracts and the
Company's corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately
in the balance sheets. The assets in the separate accounts are valued at
market. Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate
accounts accrue to the benefit of the contract owners and, accordingly, the
operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying
financial statements. The separate accounts do not have any minimum guarantees
and the investment risks associated with market value changes are borne
entirely by the contract owners. The Company received variable contract
premiums of $486,282, $345,319 and $281,095 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. All variable account contracts are subject to discretionary
withdrawal by the contract owner at the market value of the underlying assets
less the current surrender charge.

Stock Option Plan

AEGON N.V. sponsors a stock option plan for eligible employees of the Company.
Under this plan, certain employees have indicated a preference to immediately
sell shares received as a result of their exercise of the stock options; in
these situations, AEGON N.V. has settled such options in cash rather than
issuing stock to these employees. These cash settlements are paid by the
Company, and AEGON N.V. subsequently reimburses the Company for such payments.
Under statutory accounting principles, the Company does not record any expense
related to this plan, as the expense is recognized by AEGON N.V. However, the
Company is allowed to record a deduction in the consolidated tax return filed
by the Company and certain affiliates. The tax benefit of this deduction has
been credited directly to surplus.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 financial
statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.

2. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 107, Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the
statutory-basis balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. SFAS No. 119, Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires additional disclosure about
derivatives. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair
values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation
techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions
used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that
regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by
comparisons to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized
in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 and No. 119 exclude
certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from their
disclosure requirements and allow companies to forego the disclosures when
those estimates can only be made at excessive cost. Accordingly, the aggregate
fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the
Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

  Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the
  balance sheet for these instruments approximate their fair values.

  Investment securities: Fair values for fixed maturity securities (including
  redeemable preferred stocks) are based on quoted market prices, where
  available. For fixed maturity securities not actively traded, fair values
  are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or,
  in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting expected
  future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield,
  credit quality, and maturity of the investments. The fair values for equity
  securities, including affiliated mutual funds and real estate investment
  trusts, are based on quoted market prices.

  Mortgage loans and policy loans: The fair values for mortgage loans are
  estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates
  reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the
  loans. The fair value of policy loans is assumed to equal their carrying
  amount.

  Investment contracts: Fair values for the Company's liabilities under
  investment-type insurance contracts are estimated using discounted cash
  flow calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for
  similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the
  contracts being valued.

2. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

  Interest rate cap and interest rate swaps: Estimated fair value of the
  interest rate cap is based upon the latest quoted market price. Estimated
  fair value of interest rate swaps are based upon the pricing differential
  for similar swap agreements.

  Short-term notes payable to affiliates: The fair values for short-term
  notes payable to affiliates are assumed to equal their carrying amount.

Fair values for the Company's insurance contracts other than investment
contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of
liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the
Company's overall management of interest rate risk, which minimizes exposure
to changing interest rates through the matching of investment maturities with
amounts due under insurance contracts.

The following sets forth a comparison of the fair values and carrying amounts
of the Company's financial instruments subject to the provisions of SFAS No.
107 and No. 119:

3. Investments (continued)

During 1999, the Company issued mortgage loans with interest rates ranging
from 6.42% to 8.67%. The maximum percentage of any one mortgage loan to the
value of the underlying real estate at origination was 84%. Mortgage loans
with a carrying value of $248 were non-income producing for the previous
twelve months. Accrued interest of $95 related to these mortgage loans was
excluded from investment income. The Company requires all mortgaged properties
to carry fire insurance equal to the value of the underlying property.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company held a mortgage loan loss reserve
in the asset valuation reserve of $15,173 and $16,104, respectively. The
mortgage loan portfolio is diversified by geographic region and specific
collateral property type as follows:

3. Investments (continued)

The Company utilizes a variety of off-balance sheet financial instruments as
part of its efforts to hedge and manage fluctuations in the market value of
its investment portfolio attributable to changes in general interest rate
levels and to manage duration mismatch of assets and liabilities. These
instruments include interest rate swaps and caps. All involve elements of
credit and market risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the
accompanying financial statements at a given point in time. The contract or
notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement in the
various types of financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit risk is the risk of loss from a counterparty
failing to perform according to the terms of the contract. That exposure
includes settlement risk (i.e., the risk that the counterparty defaults after
the Company has delivered funds or securities under terms of the contract)
that would result in an accounting loss and replacement cost risk (i.e., the
cost to replace the contract at current market rates should the counterparty
default prior to settlement date). Credit loss exposure resulting from
nonperformance by a counterparty for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual amounts of the instruments.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's outstanding financial instruments
with on and off-balance sheet risks, shown in notional amounts, are summarized
as follows:

</TABLE>

4. Reinsurance

The Company reinsures portions of risk on certain insurance policies which
exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of
risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently
liable with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual
liability in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to
meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty.

affiliates. Premiums earned reflect the following reinsurance assumed and
ceded amounts:

</TABLE>

The Company received reinsurance recoveries in the amount of $139,138,
$173,297 and $183,638 during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December
31, 1999 and 1998, estimated amounts recoverable from reinsurers that have
been deducted from policy and contract claim reserves totaled $35,511 and
$47,956, respectively. The aggregate reserves for policies and contracts were
reduced for reserve credits for reinsurance ceded at December 31, 1999 and
1998 of $1,870,190 and $2,163,905, respectively.

At December 31, 1999, amounts recoverable from unauthorized reinsurers of
$39,996 (1998--$55,379) and reserve credits for reinsurance ceded of $48,297
(1998--$49,835) were associated with a single reinsurer and its affiliates.
The Company holds collateral under these reinsurance agreements in the form of
trust agreements totaling $85,431 at December 31, 1999, that can be drawn on
for amounts that remain unpaid for more than 120 days.

5. Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated tax
return filing with certain affiliated companies. Under the terms of a tax-
sharing agreement between the Company and its affiliates, the Company computes
federal income tax expense as if it were filing a separate income tax return,
except that tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards are determined on
the basis of the consolidated group. Additionally, the alternative minimum tax
is computed for the consolidated group and the resulting tax, if any, is
allocated back to the separate companies on the basis of the separate
companies' alternative minimum taxable income.

5. Income Taxes (continued)

Federal income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to gain from operations before federal
income tax expense and net realized capital gains (losses) on investments for
the following reasons:

                                                     =======  =======  =======
</TABLE>

Federal income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to realized gains (losses) due to the
differences in book and tax asset bases at the time certain investments are
sold.

Prior to 1984, as provided for under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of
1959, a portion of statutory income was not subject to current taxation but
was accumulated for income tax purposes in a memorandum account referred to as
the policyholders' surplus account. No federal income taxes have been provided
for in the financial statements on income deferred in the policyholders'
surplus account ($20,387 at December 31, 1999). To the extent dividends are
paid from the amount accumulated in the policyholders' surplus account, net
earnings would be reduced by the amount of tax required to be paid. Should the
entire amount in the policyholders' surplus account become taxable, the tax
thereon computed at current rates would amount to approximately $7,135.

In 1999, the Company reached a final settlement with the Internal Revenue
Service for 1990 and 1991, resulting in a tax refund of $904 and interest
received of $548. These amounts were credited directly to unassigned surplus.
The Company also corrected an error in 1999 which related to the 1997 tax-
sharing agreement between the Company and various affiliates. This resulted in
a credit to unassigned surplus of $1,359.

The Company's federal income tax returns have been examined and closing
agreements have been executed with the Internal Revenue Service through 1992.
An examination is underway for years 1993 through 1997.

6. Policy and Contract Attributes

A portion of the Company's policy reserves and other policyholders' funds
(including separate account liabilities) relate to liabilities established on
a variety of the Company's annuity and deposit fund products. There may be
certain restrictions placed upon the amount of funds that can be withdrawn
without penalty. The amount of reserves on these products, by withdrawal
characteristics, are summarized as follows:

6. Policy and Contract Attributes (continued)

Reserves on the Company's traditional life products are computed using mean
reserving methodologies. These methodologies result in the establishment of
assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be
received between the policy's paid-through date to the policy's next
anniversary date. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, these assets (which are
reported as premiums deferred and uncollected) and the amounts of the related
gross premiums and loadings, are as follows:

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had insurance in force aggregating
$41,720 and $44,233, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than
the net premiums required by the standard valuation standards established by
the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. The
Company established policy reserves of $871 and $998 to cover these
deficiencies at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

7. Dividend Restrictions

The Company is subject to limitations, imposed by the State of Iowa, on the
payment of dividends to its parent company. Generally, dividends during any
twelve-month period may not be paid, without prior regulatory approval, in
excess of the greater of (a) 10 percent of statutory capital and surplus as of
the preceding December 31, or (b) statutory gain from operations before net
realized capital gains (losses) on investments for the preceding year. Subject
to the availability of unassigned surplus at the time of such dividend, the
maximum payment which may be made in 2000, without the prior approval of
insurance regulatory authorities, is $54,203.

The Company paid dividends to its parent of $40,000, $120,000 and $62,000 in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

8. Retirement and Compensation Plans

The Company's employees participate in a qualified benefit pension plan
sponsored by AEGON. The Company has no legal obligation for the plan. The
Company recognizes pension expense equal to its allocation from AEGON. The
pension expense is allocated among the participating companies based on the
SFAS No. 87 expense as a percent of salaries. The benefits are based on years
of service and the employee's compensation during the highest five consecutive
years of employment. Pension expense aggregated $408, $380 and $422 for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The plan is
subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee
Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974.

The Company's employees also participate in a contributory defined
contribution plan sponsored by AEGON which is qualified under Section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Employees of the Company who customarily
work at least 1,000 hours during each calendar year and meet the other
eligibility requirements, are participants of the plan. Participants may elect
to contribute up to fifteen percent of their salary to the plan. The Company
will match an amount up to three percent of the participant's salary.
Participants may direct all of their contributions and plan balances to be
invested in a variety of investment options. The plan is subject to the
reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income
Security Act of 1974. Expense related to this plan was $267, $233 and $226 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

8. Retirement and Compensation Plans (continued)

AEGON sponsors supplemental retirement plans to provide the Company's senior
management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits. The plans are
noncontributory, and benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
compensation level. The plans are unfunded and nonqualified under the Internal
Revenue Service Code. In addition, AEGON has established incentive deferred
compensation plans for certain key employees of the Company. AEGON also
sponsors an employee stock option plan for individuals employed at least three
years and a stock purchase plan for its producers, with the participating
affiliated companies establishing their own eligibility criteria, producer
contribution limits and company matching formula. These plans have been
accrued or funded as deemed appropriate by management of AEGON and the
Company.

In addition to pension benefits, the Company participates in plans sponsored
by AEGON that provide postretirement medical, dental and life insurance
benefits to employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Portions of
the medical and dental plans are contributory. The expenses of the
postretirement plans are charged to affiliates in accordance with an
intercompany cost sharing arrangement. The Company expensed $28, $62 and $62
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

9. Related Party Transactions

The Company shares certain offices, employees and general expenses with
affiliated companies.

The Company receives data processing, investment advisory and management,
marketing and administration services from certain affiliates. During 1999,
1998 and 1997, the Company paid $19,983, $18,706 and $18,705, respectively,
for these services, which approximates their costs to the affiliates.

Payables to affiliates bear interest at the thirty-day commercial paper rate
of 5.7% at December 31, 1999. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company paid net
interest of $1,994, $1,491 and $1,188, respectively, to affiliates.

During 1997, the Company received a capital contribution of $153 in cash from
its parent.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company has short-term notes payable to an
affiliate of $144,500 and $9,421, respectively. Interest on these notes
accrues at rates ranging from 4.85% to 5.90% at December 31, 1999 and 5.13% to
5.52% at December 31, 1998.

9. Related Party Transactions (continued)

During 1998, the Company issued life insurance policies to certain affiliated
companies, covering the lives of certain employees of those affiliates.
Premiums of $174,000 related to these policies were recognized during the
year, and aggregate reserves for policies and contracts are $190,299 and
$181,720 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has issued Trust (synthetic) GIC contracts to plan sponsors
totaling $374,124 at December 31, 1999, pursuant to terms under which the plan
sponsor retains ownership of the assets related to these contracts. The
Company guarantees benefit responsiveness in the event that plan benefit
requests and other contractual commitments exceed plan cash flows. The plan
sponsor agrees to reimburse the Company for such benefit payments with
interest, either at a fixed or floating rate, from future plan and asset cash
flows. In return for this guarantee, the Company receives a premium which
varies based on such elements as benefit responsive exposure and contract
size. The Company underwrites the plans for the possibility of having to make
benefit payments and also must agree to the investment guidelines to ensure
appropriate credit quality and cash flow matching. The assets relating to such
contracts are not recognized in the Company's statutory-basis financial
statements.

The Company is a party to legal proceedings incidental to its business.
Although such litigation sometimes includes substantial demands for
compensatory and punitive damages, in addition to contract liability, it is
management's opinion, after consultation with counsel and a review of
available facts, that damages arising from such demands will not be material
to the Company's financial position.

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it
writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance
companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of
insolvency of other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations
when received by the Company except where right of offset against other taxes
paid is allowed by law; amounts available for future offsets are recorded as
an asset on the Company's balance sheet. Potential future obligations for
unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company. The future
obligation has been based on the most recent information available from the
National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. The
Company has established a reserve of $19,662 and $17,901 and an offsetting
premium tax benefit of $7,429 and $7,631 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments
related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund expense
(benefit) was $1,994, $1,985 and $(975) for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners
of The One Income Annuity,
PFL Life Insurance Company


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of certain subaccounts of PFL
Retirement Builder Variable Annuity Account (the "Separate Account", comprised
of the Bond, Government Bond, Balanced, Large Cap Growth, Equity Index,
Diversified Equity, Mid Cap Growth, Diversified Mid Cap, and Mid Cap Value
subaccounts), which are available for investment by contract owners of The One
Income Annuity, as of December 31, 1999, and the related statements of
operations and changes in contract owners' equity for the period from November
8, 1999 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of mutual fund shares owned as of December 31,
1999, by correspondence with the mutual fund's transfer agent. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective
subaccounts of PFL Retirement Builder Variable Annuity Account which are
available for investment by contract owners of The One Income Annuity at
December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations and changes in their
contract owners' equity for the period from November 8, 1999 through December
31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The PFL Retirement Builder Variable Annuity Account ("Mutual Fund Account") is a
segregated investment account of PFL Life Insurance Company ("PFL Life"), an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a holding company organized
under the laws of The Netherlands.

The Mutual Fund Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as a Unit Investment Trust pursuant to provisions of the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The Mutual Fund Account consists of sixty-one investment
subaccounts, nine of which are invested in specified portfolios of the One Group
Investment Trust (the "Series Fund"). Activity in these nine investment
subaccounts is available to contract owners of The One Income Annuity. Activity
in the remaining fifty-two subaccounts (not included herein) is available to
contract owners of the Retirement Income Builder Variable Annuity, Retirement
Income Builder II Variable Annuity, Portfolio Select Variable Annuity, and PFL
Immediate Income Builder, also issued by PFL Life.

Investments

Net purchase payments received by the Mutual Fund Account are invested in the
portfolios of the Series Fund, as selected by the contract owner. Investments
are stated at the closing net asset values per share as of December 31, 1999.

Realized capital gains and losses from sale of shares in the Series Fund are
determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Investment transactions are
accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and
dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains or losses
from investments in the mutual funds are credited or charged to contract owners'
equity.

Dividend Income

Dividends received from the Series Fund investments are reinvested to purchase
additional mutual fund shares.

4. Administrative, Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

PFL Life deducts a daily charge for assuming certain mortality and expense
risks. For contracts with a balance of less than $50,000, this charge is equal
to an effective annual rate of 1.20% of the value of the contract owners'
individual account, otherwise this charge is equal to an effective annual rate
of 1.00% of the value of the contract owners' individual account. PFL Life also
deducts a daily charge equal to an annual rate of .15% of the contract owners'
account for administrative expenses.

PFL Life also deducts a charge for those contract holders selecting the initial
payment guarantee option. This charge is equal to an effective annual rate of
 .75%.


5. Taxes

Operations of the Mutual Fund Account form a part of PFL Life, which is taxed as
a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). The operations of the Mutual Fund Account are
accounted for separately from other operations of PFL Life for purposes of
federal income taxation. The Mutual Fund Account is not separately taxable as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is not otherwise
taxable as an entity separate from PFL Life. Under existing federal income tax
laws, the income of the Mutual Fund Account, to the extent applied to increase
reserves under the variable annuity contracts, is not taxable to PFL Life.

     Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

            As of December 31, 1999, there were 4 Contract owners.

     Item 28. Indemnification

     The Iowa Code (Sections 490.850 et. seq.) provides for permissive
     indemnification in certain situations, mandatory indemnification in other
     situations, and prohibits indemnification in certain situations. The Code
     also specifies producers for determining when indemnification payments can
     be made.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     of 933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
     the Depositor pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
     Depositor has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
     claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
     by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
     controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the
     Depositor 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.

Payments will remain constant. If the performance exceeds the AIR, the variable
Annuity Payments will increase. If the performance falls below the AIR, the

in Section 1, Contract Specifications. The minimum allocation to any Subaccount
must not be less than 5% of the total amount allocated to the Subaccounts.

                                       5

SECTION 4---ANNUITY PAYMENTS

General Payment Provisions

Annuity Payments may be fixed, variable or a combination of both. Your elections
are shown in Section 1, Contract Specifications. Your Annuity Payments will be
made according to the provisions detailed in Section 1, Contract Specifications.

Your First Payment Date is shown in Section 1, Contract Specifications.

If at any time the amount of a payment to a Payee is less than $100 (Our minimum
payment), We may change the Frequency of Payment so that the payment is at least
equal to the minimum.

Determination of the Variable Annuity Payments

The portion of the Single Premium allocated to variable Annuity Payments will
initially purchase Variable Annuity Units in the Subaccount(s) which You elect.
We determine the number of Variable Annuity Units based upon:

     a.   the Single Premium reduced by any applicable Premium Taxes;

     b.   the age and sex of the Annuitant and Secondary Annuitant, if any;

     c.   the Payment Option You chose;

     d.   the Frequency of Payment You chose;

     e.   the First Payment Date You chose;

     f.   the Assumed Investment Return You chose; and

     g.   the Variable Annuity Unit value of the Subaccount(s) on the Contract
          Issue Date.

On each Variable Annuity Payment Calculation Date, the number of Variable
Annuity Units in each Subaccount is multiplied by the Variable Annuity Unit
value of each Subaccount to determine the variable Annuity Payment from that
Subaccount. Your total variable Annuity Payment will be the sum of the payments
from each Subaccount.

The number of Variable Annuity Units allocated to each Subaccount will not
change unless You request:

     1.   A transfer from one Subaccount to another;
     2.   A transfer from variable Annuity Payments to fixed Annuity Payments;
     3.   A partial or full surrender that may be available under Your Payment
          Option.

Also, if You chose a joint life payment option, We will reduce the number of
Variable Annuity Units if payments are to be reduced upon the death of either
joint Annuitant.

Variable Annuity Units

The number of Variable Annuity Units in each selected Subaccount is determined
by dividing the Estimated Variable Annuity Payment Amount on the First Payment
Date by the Variable Annuity Unit value of that Subaccount on the Contract Issue
Date. The value of the Variable Annuity Unit in Your chosen Subaccounts will
increase or decrease reflecting the investment experience of those Subaccounts.

                                       6
<PAGE>

SECTION 4---ANNUITY PAYMENTS (Continued)

Variable Annuity Units (Continued)

Amounts transferred to the Subaccounts will be applied to provide Variable
Annuity Units in Your chosen Subaccounts. The number of Variable Annuity Units
purchased in a Subaccount will be determined by dividing any amount transferred
to that Subaccount, by the Variable Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount on
the applicable Allocation Date.

The number of Variable Annuity Units withdrawn or transferred from the
Subaccounts will be determined by dividing the amount withdrawn or transferred
by the Variable Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount on the applicable
withdrawal or Allocation Date.

The Variable Annuity Unit value in a particular Subaccount on any Valuation Day
is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c), where:

(a)  is the Variable Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount on the immediately
     preceding Valuation Day;

(b)  is the Net Investment Factor for that Subaccount for the Valuation Period;
     and

(c)  is the daily factor for the Valuation Period.

The daily factor for the Valuation Period is a discount factor that reflects the
Assumed Investment Return.

The Net Investment Factor used to calculate the Variable Annuity Unit value in
each Subaccount for the Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b)
and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

(a)  is the net result of:

     (1)  the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount 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 fund for shares held in that Subaccount if the ex-dividend
          date occurs during the Valuation Period; plus or minus

     (3)  a per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which We
          determine to have resulted from the investment operation of the
          Subaccount.

(b)  is the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount as
     determined at the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period.

(c)  is an amount representing the Separate Account Charge. The percentages are
     shown in Section 1, Contract Specifications.

SECTION 5---TRANSFERS

Transfers Among Subaccounts

You may transfer the value of the Variable Annuity Units from one Subaccount to
another. If You want to transfer the value of the Variable Annuity Units, You
must tell Us in a Written Request or by an electronic notice that gives Us the
information that We need.

                                       7
<PAGE>

SECTION 5---TRANSFERS (Continued)

Transfers Among Subaccounts (Continued)

You may currently transfer among Subaccounts as often as You wish without
charge. We have the right to charge an administrative fee of $15 for each
transfer after the first six transfers made in any Contract Year. All transfers
made simultaneously will be treated as a single request.

Transfers from Variable Annuity Payments to Fixed Annuity Payments

You may transfer all or a part of the value of variable Annuity Payments to
fixed Annuity Payments.

If You transfer variable Annuity Payments to fixed Annuity Payments, the fixed
Annuity Payments will be a continuation of the Payment Option under which the
variable Annuity Payments were being made. For example, if You were receiving
variable Annuity Payments for two years under a 10-Year Period Certain and Life
Option and elect to transfer to a fixed Annuity Payment, Your fixed Annuity
Payment would be an 8-Year Period Certain and Life Option.

The amount of the fixed Annuity Payment will be based on Our fixed annuity rates
at the time of the transfer.

You may not transfer from fixed Annuity Payments to variable Annuity Payments.



SECTION 6---SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Separate Account

We have established, and will maintain, a Separate Account under the laws of the
state of Iowa. Any realized or unrealized income, net gains or losses from the
assets of the Separate Account are credited to or charged against it without
regard to Our other income, gains or losses. Assets are put in the Separate
Account for this Contract, as well as for other variable annuity policies and
life insurance. The Separate Account may invest assets in shares of one or more
mutual funds. Fund shares are purchased, redeemed and valued on behalf of the
Separate Account.

The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests
exclusively in shares of one of the portfolios of an underlying fund. We reserve
the right to add or remove any Subaccount of the Separate Account.

The assets of the Separate Account are Our property. These Assets will equal or
exceed the reserves and other Contract liabilities of the Separate Account.
These assets will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
business We conduct. We reserve the right to transfer assets of a Subaccount, in
excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to that
Subaccount, to another Subaccount or to Our General Account.

We will determine the fair market value of the assets of the Separate Account in
accordance with a method of valuation, which We establish in good faith.
Valuation Period means the period of time from one determination of the value of
each Subaccount to the next. Such determinations are made when the value of the
assets and liabilities of each Subaccount is calculated. This is generally each
day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open.

We also reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account, which We
determine to be associated with the class of policies to which this Contract
belongs, to another Separate Account. If this type of transfer is made, the term
"Separate Account," as used in this Contract, shall then mean the Separate
Account to which the assets were transferred.

                                       8
<PAGE>

SECTION 6---SEPARATE ACCOUNT (Continued)

The Separate Account (Continued)

We also reserve the right, when permitted by law, to:

(a)  deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(b)  manage the Separate Account under the direction of a committee at any time;

(c)  restrict or eliminate any voting rights of Contract Owners or other persons
     who have voting rights as to the Separate Account; and

(d)  combine the Separate Account with one or more other Separate Accounts;

(e)  create new Separate Accounts;

(f)  add new Subaccounts to, or remove existing Subaccounts from, the Separate
     Account, or combine Subaccounts;

(g)  add new underlying mutual funds, remove existing mutual funds, or
     substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

Change in Investment Objective or Policy of the Separate Account

If required by law or regulation, an investment policy of the Separate Account
will only be changed if approved by the appropriate insurance official of the
state of Iowa or deemed approved in accordance with such law or regulation. If
so required, the process for obtaining such approval is filed with the insurance
official of the state or district in which this Contract is delivered.

Request to assign this Contract. No change will apply to any action taken by Us
before the Written Request was received by Us. We are not responsible for the
validity or the effect of an assignment. You should consult Your tax advisor

<PAGE>

SECTION 7---GENERAL PROVISIONS (Continued)

Beneficiary (Continued)

If any primary or contingent Beneficiary dies before the Annuitant, that
Beneficiary's interest in this Contract ends with that Beneficiary's death. Only
those Beneficiaries living at the time of the Annuitant's death will be eligible
to receive their share of the death benefits. Payment will be made to the named
contingent Beneficiary(ies) only if all primary Beneficiaries have died before
the death benefits become payable. In the event no contingent Beneficiaries have
been named and all primary Beneficiaries have died when the death benefits
become payable, the Owner(s) or Estate of the Owner(s) will become the
Beneficiary(ies) unless elected otherwise. If both primary and contingent
Beneficiaries have been named, payment will be made to the named primary
Beneficiaries living at the time the death benefits become payable. If there is
more than one Beneficiary and You failed to specify their interest, they will
share equally. If any primary Beneficiary is alive at the time the death
benefits become payable, but dies before receiving their payment, their share
will be paid to their estate.

Change of Beneficiary

You may change the Beneficiary while the Annuitant is living, unless an
irrevocable one has been named. Change is made by Written Notice. The change
takes effect on the date the Written Request was signed, and the Written Request
must have been postmarked on or before the date of the Annuitant's death.
Annuity Payment(s) made before the Written Request was received will not be
reissued. We may require return of this Contract for endorsement before making a
change.

Incontestability

This Contract is incontestable from the Contract Issue Date.

Misstatement of Age or Sex

If the age or sex of any Annuitant has been misstated, the Annuity Payments will
be those which the Single Premium paid would have purchased for the correct age
and sex. Any underpayment made by Us will be paid with the next Annuity Payment.
Any overpayment made by Us will be deducted from future Annuity Payments. Any
underpayment or overpayment will include interest at 5% per year, from the date
of the incorrect payment to the date of the adjustment.

Modification of Contract

No change in this Contract is valid unless made in writing by Us and approved by
one of Our officers. No agent has authority to change or waive any provision of
Your Contract.

Nonparticipating

Your Contract is nonparticipating. This means We do not pay dividends on it.
Your Contract will not share in Our profits or surplus earnings.

Owner

You, the Owner, are named in Section 1,Contract Specifications. You may, while
any Annuitant is living, exercise all rights granted by this Contract. These
rights are subject to the rights of any assignee or living irrevocable
Beneficiary. "Irrevocable" means that You have given up Your right to change the
Beneficiary named.

If You die, the rights of Ownership will vest in the executors, administrators
or assigns of the Owner.

                                       10
<PAGE>

SECTION 7---GENERAL PROVISIONS (Continued)

Owner (Continued)

Unless We have been notified of a community or marital property interest in this
Contract, We will rely on Our good faith belief that no such interest exists and
will assume no responsibility for inquiry.

Annuity Payments are generally taxable to the Owner.

Proof of Death

Any Beneficiary claiming an interest in the Contract must provide the Company in
writing with due proof of death of the Payee/Annuitant and/or Secondary
Annuitant (if any). If payments have been paid prior to receiving due proof of
death, We will deduct the payment(s) from the calculated death benefit.

Proof of Survival

If Annuity Payments under this Contract depend on a person being alive on a
given date, proof of survival may be required by the Company prior to making the
payments.

Protection Of Proceeds

Unless You so direct by filing Written Request with Us, no Beneficiary may
assign payments under this Contract before the same are due. To the extent
permitted by law, no payments under this Contract will be subject to the claims
of creditors of any Beneficiary.

Reserves

The reserves held by Us for this Contract shall not be less than the minimum
required by the laws and regulations of the state in which this Contract is
delivered.

Reports To Owner

You will receive a confirmation statement each time You transfer Annuity Units
among the Subaccounts or make transfers from variable Annuity Payments to fixed
Annuity Payments.

We will also send you reports containing financial statements for the Funds, and
a list of portfolio securities of the Funds, as required by the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

Successor Owner

The person named by the Owner to whom ownership of this Contract passes upon the
Owner's death, unless the Owner was also the Annuitant, in which case the
Annuitant's Beneficiary is entitled to benefits described in Section 8, Death
Proceeds.

Tax Qualification

This Contract is intended to qualify as an annuity Contract for federal income
tax purposes. The provisions of this Contract are to be interpreted to maintain
such qualification, notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary. To
maintain such tax qualification, We reserve the right to amend this Contract to
reflect any clarifications that may be needed or are appropriate to maintain
such tax qualification or to conform this Contract to any applicable changes in
the tax qualification requirements. We will send a copy to You in the event of
any such amendment. If You refuse such an amendment, it must be by giving Us
Written Request, and Your refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.

                                       11
<PAGE>

SECTION 8---DEATH PROCEEDS

If an Owner, who is also an Annuitant, dies before the First Payment Date, the
amount of the death proceeds is the premium plus or minus the investment
performance of the Subaccounts. If an Owner, who is not an Annuitant, dies
before the First Payment Date, the Successor Owner may direct the Owner's
interest in the Contract to be distributed as follows:

       (i)    one cash lump sum to be distributed within five years of the
              deceased owner's death;

       (ii)   annuitize the death proceeds over the lifetime of the Successor
              Owner; or

       (iii)  annuitize the death proceeds over a period that does not exceed
              the life expectancy of the Successor Owner as defined by the Code.

Subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) apply only to individuals, and such payments must
start within one year of the date of the Owner's death.

If the owner, who may or may not also be an Annuitant, dies, on or after the
First Payment Date, the remaining portion of the Annuity Payments due under the
Contract, if any, will be distributed to the Beneficiary in the same manner and
frequency (at least as rapidly) as under the method of distribution used before
the Owner's death.

If the Owner's surviving spouse, if any, is the Successor Owner, then on the
Owner's death he or she may elect to become the Owner under the Contract and to
continue the Contract as his or her own. If no such election is made, the rules
outlined in the foregoing paragraphs of this section will apply.

If the Owner, who is also the Annuitant, dies and no Beneficiary is named or the
Beneficiary has predeceased the Owner/Annuitant, the Owner's estate shall be
deemed the Beneficiary.

If at any time the Annuitant, or last Annuitant for a joint contract, dies, the
Beneficiary will receive the remaining portion of the Annuity Payments due under
the contract, if any. Payments will be made in the same manner and frequency (at
least as rapidly) as under the method of distribution used before the
Annuitant's death.

If a non-natural person is named as an Owner, then the primary Annuitant shall
be treated as an Owner solely for the purposes of this Section 8. The entire
interest in the Contract must be distributed upon the Annuitant's death, if the
Annuitant dies prior to the First Payment Date.

In all events, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract,
distributions on the death of an Owner shall conform to the requirements of
Section 72(s) of the Code.

                        Initial Payment Guarantee Rider


Guaranteed Minimum Payment              [$500.00]

Initial Payment Guarantee Rider Fee     [1.00%]

Investment Limitations                  [None]

You have selected the Initial Payment Guarantee Option. This Rider, which is
issued as part of Your Contract, explains the guarantees, terms and conditions
under the Option. The Initial Payment Guarantee Rider applies only to variable
Annuity Payments.

Definitions

Stabilized Payments - the monthly (or quarterly) variable Annuity Payment You
receive from Us. Stabilized payments are determined annually at Your Contract
anniversary.

Guaranteed Minimum Payment - the minimum payment We guarantee. Your Stabilized
Payments will never be less than this amount, shown at the top of this page.

Supportable Payment - the sum of: the Variable Annuity Units times the
respective Variable Annuity Unit values for each of the subaccounts You have
selected.

Initial Payment Guarantee Option and First-Year Stabilized Payment

With the Initial Payment Guarantee Option, Your Stabilized Payments will never
be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Payment. For the first year, Your Stabilized
Payment is equal to the initial variable Annuity Payment. How Subsequent
Stabilized Payments are Determined

How Subsequent Stabilized Payments are Determined

On each Contract anniversary, We will determine a new Stabilized Payment. The
new stabilized payment will equal the greater of the Guaranteed Minimum Payment
or the Supportable Payment.

     IF the Supportable Payment is greater than the Guaranteed Minimum Payment,
     THEN the Supportable Payment becomes Your new Stabilized Payment for the
     following year; or

     IF the Supportable Payment is less than or equal to the Guaranteed Minimum
     Payment,
     THEN the Guaranteed Minimum Payment becomes Your new Stabilized Payment for
     the following year.

Variable Annuity Unit Adjustment

The Stabilized Payment You receive is adjusted annually. However, each month (or
quarter) throughout the Contract Year, We calculate the Supportable Payment, and
adjust the number of Variable Annuity Units.

If the Supportable Payment at any payment date, other than at Contract
anniversary, is greater than the current Stabilized Payment, we will increase
the number of Variable Annuity Units. Conversely, if the Supportable Payment at
any payment date is less than the current Stabilized Payment, we will reduce the
number of Variable Annuity Units.

                                       1
<PAGE>

Variable Annuity Unit Adjustment (Continued)

Since We change Your Stabilized Payment only once a year, the increase or
decrease in the number of Variable Annuity Units ensures You receive the full
investment performance throughout the year for the subaccounts You have
selected. For example, assume Your monthly Stabilized Payment is $500.00 and at
the end of the first month the Supportable Payment increased to $510.00 due to
positive investment returns. Your payment remains $500, but we will increase the
number of Variable Annuity Units to give You credit for the $10.00 You would
have received had Your payments not been stabilized. The increase or decrease in
the Variable Annuity Units will be allocated on a pro rata basis within the
subaccounts You have selected.

Other Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right to limit allocations to certain subaccounts. Limitations,
if any, are described in the Investment Limitations section at the top of the
first page of this Rider.

Rider Fee

The annual fee for this Option is shown at the top of the first page of this
Rider. We will deduct the fee in addition to and in the same manner as We deduct
the Separate Account Charge.

Surrender Values and Death Benefits

With the Initial Payment Guarantee Option, the surrender values and death
benefits available with the Certain Only or Life with Emergency Cash payment
options are determined using the current Supportable Payment, not the Stabilized
Payment, the Guaranteed Minimum Payment or Your most recent variable Annuity
Payment. This provision supersedes all references to surrender values and death
benefits in the Certain Only benefit description or the Life with Emergency Cash
Rider.

Reductions to the Guaranteed Minimum Payment and Stabilized Payment

If You transfer from variable Annuity Payments to fixed Annuity Payments, the
amount of the Guaranteed Minimum Payment and the Stabilized Payment will be
reduced pro rata. For example, if You transfer 25% of Your variable Annuity
Payment to fixed Annuity Payments the Guaranteed Minimum Payment and the
Stabilized Payment will also be reduced by 25%. The reductions will be reflected
in the first payment following the transfer.

If You select a Joint and Survivor payment option with reduced payments to the
survivor and one of the annuitants dies, the Guaranteed Minimum Payment and the
Stabilized Payment will be reduced pro-rata. For example, if You selected the
Joint and 75% Survivor payment option and one of the annuitants dies, the
Guaranteed Minimum Benefit and the Stabilized Payment will be reduced to 75%.
The reductions will be reflected in the first payment following the annuitant's
death.

Payment Notice

On each Contract anniversary, We will send You a notice informing You of the
Stabilized Payment for the following year.

You have selected the Step-Up Payment Guarantee Option. This Rider, which is
issued as part of Your Contract, explains the guarantees, terms and conditions
under the Option. The Step-Up Payment Guarantee Rider applies only to variable
Annuity Payments.

Definitions

Stabilized Payments - the monthly (or quarterly) variable Annuity Payment You
receive from Us. Stabilized payments are determined annually at Your Contract
anniversary.

Supportable Payment - the sum of: the Variable Annuity Units times the
respective Variable Annuity Unit values for each of the subaccounts You have
selected.

Step-Up Payment Guarantee Option and First-Year Stabilized Payment

With the Step-Up Payment Guarantee Option, Your payments will never decrease. In
other words, Your Stabilized Payment may increase or stay the same from year to
year, but it is guaranteed to never decrease. The amount of the Stabilized
Payment for the first year is shown at the top of this page.

How Subsequent Stabilized Payments are Determined

On each Contract anniversary, We will determine a new Stabilized Payment. The
new stabilized payment will equal the greater of {[(a-b)*c]+b} or b,

Where:    (a) is the Supportable Payment;
          (b) is the current stabilized payment; and
          (c) is the immediate payment increase allocation (which determines how
              much of the gain in the variable annuity unit values is applied to
              the new stabilized payment and how much is used to purchase
              additional variable annuity units).

Variable Annuity Unit Adjustment

The Stabilized Payment You receive is adjusted annually. However, each month (or
quarter) throughout the Contract year We calculate the Supportable Payment, and
adjust the number of Variable Annuity Units.

If the Supportable Payment at any payment date, except the Contract anniversary,
is greater than the current Stabilized Payment, we will increase the number of
Variable Annuity Units. Conversely, if the Supportable Payment at any payment
date is less than the current Stabilized Payment, we will reduce the number of
Variable Annuity Units.

<PAGE>

Variable Annuity Unit Adjustment (Continued)

Since We only change Your Stabilized Payment once each year, the increase or
decrease in the number of Variable Annuity Units ensures that You receive the
full investment performance throughout the year for the subaccounts You have
selected. For example, assume Your monthly Stabilized Payment is $500.00 and at
the end of the first month the Supportable Payment increased to $510.00 due to
positive investment returns. Your payment remains $500,00, but we will increase
the number of Variable Annuity Units to give You credit for the $10.00 You would
have received had Your payments not been stabilized. The increase or decrease in
the Variable Annuity Units will be allocated on a pro rata basis with the
subaccounts You have selected.

Other Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right to limit allocations to certain subaccounts. Limitations,
if any, are described in the Investment Limitations section at the top of the
first page of this Rider.

Rider Fee

The annual fee for this Option is shown at the top of the first page of this
Rider. We will deduct the fee in addition to and in the same manner as We deduct
the Separate Account Charge.

Surrender Values and Death Benefits

With the Step-Up Payment Guarantee Option, the surrender values and death
benefits available with the Certain Only or Life with Emergency Cash payment
options are determined using the current Supportable Payment, not the Stabilized
Payment or the most recent variable Annuity Payment. This provision supersedes
all references to surrender values and death benefits in the Certain Only
benefit description or the Life with Emergency Cash Rider.

Reductions to the Stabilized Payment

If You transfer from variable Annuity Payments to fixed Annuity Payments, the
amount of the Stabilized Payment will be reduced pro rata. For example, if You
transfer 25% of Your variable Annuity Payment to fixed Annuity Payments the
Stabilized Payment will also be reduced by 25%. The reductions will be reflected
in the first payment following the transfer.

If You select a Joint and Survivor payment option with reduced payments to the
survivor and one of the annuitants dies, the Stabilized Payment will be reduced
pro rata. For example, if You selected the Joint and 75% Survivor payment option
and one of the annuitants dies, the Stabilized Payment will be reduced to 75%.
The reductions will be reflected in the first payment following the annuitant's
death.

Payment Notice

On each Contract anniversary, We will send You a notice informing You of the
Stabilized Payment for the following year.

               ----------------------------------------------
and 1.3 of the Participation Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and
the following new Sections 1.1 and 1.3 are substituted in their place:


         "1.1. The Trust agrees to make available for purchase by the Company
         shares of the Portfolio and shall execute orders placed for each
         Account on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after
         receipt by the Trust or its designee of such order. For purposes of
         this Section 1.1, the Company shall be the designee of the Trust for
         receipt of such orders from each Account and receipt by such designee
         shall constitute receipt by the Trust; provided that the Trust's
         designated transfer agent receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m.
         Eastern Time on the next following Business Day ("Trade Date plus 1").
         Notwithstanding the following, the Company shall use its best efforts
         to provide the Trust's designated transfer agent with notice of such
         orders by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Trade Date plus 1. The
         Administrator shall provide information (electronically or by fax)
         concerning each trade by 1:00 Eastern Time on Trade Date plus 1.
         "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange
         is open for trading and on which the Trust calculates its net asset
         value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
         as set forth in the Trust's prospectus and statement of additional
         information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of
         the Trust (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell shares of any
         Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares
         of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory
         authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the
         Board acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under
         federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests
         of the shareholders of such Portfolio.


         1.3. The Trust agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's request, any
         full or fractional shares of the Trust held by the Company, executing
         such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed
         after receipt by the Trust or its designee of the request for
         redemption. For purposes of this Section 1.3, the Company shall be the
         designee of the Trust for receipt of requests for redemption from each
         Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the
         Trust; provided that the Trust's designated transfer agent receives
         notice of such request for redemption on Trade Date plus 1 in
         accordance with the timing rules described in Section 1.1."

Re:  PFL Retirement Builder Variable Annuity Account Registration on Form N-4
     SEC File No. 333-78743

Dear Sir/Madam:

With regard to the above registration statement, I have examined such documents
and made such inquiries as I have deemed necessary and appropriate, and on the
basis of such examination, have the following opinions:

Fees and charges deducted under the PFL Immediate Income Annuity policies are
those deemed necessary to appropriately reflect:

(1)  the expenses incurred in the acquisition and distribution of the Policies,

(2)  the expenses associated with the development and servicing of the policies,

(3)  the assumption of certain risks arising from the operation and management
     of the Policies and that provides for a reasonable margin of profit.

Fees and charges assessed include:

(i)  Separate Account Charge

(ii) Taxes (including Premium and other Taxes if applicable)

The magnitude of each of the individual charges listed above in (i) through (ii)
is established in the pricing of the PFL Immediate Income Annuity, to achieve a
reasonable Return on Investment (ROI), which is within the range of industry
practice with respect to comparable variable immediate annuity products.

Except by coincidence, it is not expected that actual charges assessed in a
given year would exactly offset actual expenses incurred. Acquisition expenses
(as well as major product and/or systems development expenses) are incurred "up
front" and recovered, with a reasonable profit margin, through future years'
charges. In addition, the company cannot increase certain charges under the
Policies in the pricing process.

Therefore, in my opinion, the fees and charges deducted under the Policies, in
the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses
expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the company.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion, which is included as an Exhibit to
the Registration Statement.
