LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE OWNERS OF NYLIAC CORPORATE SPONSORED VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE POLICIES:
I am pleased to present the NYLIAC Corporate Sponsored Variable Universal Life
(CSVUL) Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1999. NYLIAC Corporate
Sponsored Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I serves as the Separate
Account for these policies.
This Annual Report contains valuable information, including year-end performance
data and Separate Account financial statements for each of the 22 Investment
Divisions available with our NYLIAC CSVUL policies. This book also contains the
following Annual Reports:
MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc.
The Alger American Fund
Calvert Variable Series, Inc.
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II
Janus Aspen Series
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Universal Funds, Inc.
T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc.
PERMANENT LIFE INSURANCE PROTECTION WITH A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS
As part of your long-term financial plan or corporate strategy, your NYLIAC
CSVUL product offers permanent life insurance protection with a variety of
investment options. Four new Investment Divisions were made available to NYLIAC
CSVUL policies during the third quarter, supplementing the 18 Investment
Divisions and one Fixed Account previously available. This extensive selection
of diversified investment offerings allows you to customize a policy to suit
your individual investment style. As a CSVUL policyowner, you benefit from the
experience and professional management of leading investment advisors who work
on your behalf. As always, your financial well-being is our goal.
FUNDING YOUR VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
One of the most attractive features of your CSVUL policy is the ability to
create your own payment schedule, indicating the amount and frequency of premium
payments you intend to make. The policy's fees and charges are deducted from the
cash value, and your life insurance coverage remains in effect as long as your
cash surrender value is sufficient to cover these deductions. In order to help
optimize potential investment results for the future, you may be able to
increase your planned premium payments or make additional, unplanned premium
payments. (Higher premium funding maximizes the policy's investment potential
and may reduce the likelihood that your policy could terminate due to lower than
anticipated investment performance.) Your registered representative can assist
you in evaluating the effects of different premium funding options so that you
can make an informed choice.
NYLIAC CSVUL SEPARATE ACCOUNT-I PERFORMANCE
During the one-year period ending December 31, 1999, 14 of the 17 Investment
Divisions that had amounts invested in them realized positive investment
returns. (Please refer to the performance summary on the following page for
details on the policies' Investment Divisions and their returns.(1)) These 11
funds experienced double-digit total returns for this period:

* The values shown are unaudited.
** No performance information is shown for the American Century Income &
Growth, the MainStay VP Convertible, the Dreyfus Large Company Value, the
Eagle Asset Management Growth Equity, and the T. Rowe Price Equity Income
Investment Divisions because as of 12/31/99, the Separate Account had no
amounts invested in these Investment Divisions.
*** An investment in the MainStay VP Cash Management Investment Division is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other government agency. Although the MainStay VP Cash Management Investment
Division seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per unit,
it is possible to lose money.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Due to current market
volatility, the current performance may be less than the figures shown. The
investment return and the accumulation value of your policy will fluctuate so
that your contract, when surrendered, may be worth more or less than the
original cost. Performance reflects the percentage change for the period shown
with capital gains and dividends reinvested.
Performance reflects the deduction of the policy's current mortality and expense
risk charge of .70% for policy years one through ten and total fund operating
expenses. However, it does not reflect the policy fees or charges. These include
the cost of insurance, surrender charges, monthly contract charges, sales
expense charges, and premium and federal tax charges. Had these expenses been
deducted, total returns would have been lower.
NYLIAC assumed a portion of the expenses for the MainStay VP Convertible and the
MainStay VP International Equity Investment Divisions until 12/31/98. This
expense limitation was in effect until 12/31/97 for the MainStay VP High Yield
Corporate Bond and MainStay VP Value Investment Divisions. In addition, Janus
Capital Corporation has agreed to reduce the advisory fee for the Janus Aspen
Series Balanced and the Janus Aspen Series Worldwide Growth Investment Divisions
to the level of the corresponding Janus retail mutual fund and Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter Investment Management Inc. has voluntarily waived receipt of the
advisory fee and agreed to reimburse the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Emerging
Markets Equity Portfolio to the extent that the Total Fund Annual Expenses of
the Portfolio exceed 1.75%. Had these expenses not been assumed or reduced, the
total returns for these Investment Divisions would have been lower.

NYLIAC CSVUL SEPARATE ACCOUNT-I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-- Organization and Accounting Policies:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NYLIAC Corporate Sponsored Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I ("CSVUL

The policies are distributed by NYLIFE Distributors Inc. and sold by registered

recorded on the ex-dividend date and reinvested in the corresponding portfolio.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted

ADVISER'S REPORT
Market Overview
The main story of the financial markets in 1999 was that stocks rose higher than
any other time over the last decade. The best-performing stocks increased in
value by thousands of percentage points. All major market indices closed the
year at record highs. The S&P 500(R) Index(1) gained 21.04% in 1999 and
underperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average(2), which returned 27.2%.
NASDAQ(3) returned more than 85%, with the highest-returning stocks skewing the
results. More than half the gain occurred after November 3, when the NASDAQ
reached 3000. Even small stocks rebounded in 1999, led by Internet stocks. At
the beginning of the year, market pundits were doubtful that four years of
double digit S&P 500(R) returns could continue for another year, but that is
exactly what happened. Despite the economy's 4% growth rate, inflation remained
low and interest rates, though rising, were still relatively low.
However, the unprecedented S&P 500(R) returns masked the huge gulfs between what
outperformed and what underperformed. Technology issues posted the most positive
results, with the average technology fund returning almost 114%. Investors seem
to have divided into two camps regarding this volatile sector. The fans assert
the high returns are indicative of a new era of technological innovation, which
is changing the economy and is shifting the way business is done. Skeptics on
the other hand, believe the high returns are proof that the bull market has
turned into a mania with a probable poor ending. Stocks associated with the
information revolution have been bid up to stellar heights, while the older
economy stocks have generally languished. In fact, over half the stocks on the
New York Stock Exchange, the S&P 500(R) and NASDAQ are selling at lower prices
today than they did on January 1, 1999. About two-thirds of the stocks on the
New York Stock Exchange were at least 20 percent below their 52-week highs.
Without technology and telecom stocks, the S&P 500(R) would have shown little if
any gain.
1999 also saw the U.S. stock market lag the rest of the world for the first time
in four years. According to Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index
(MSCI EAFE Index)(4), the U.S. market gained 20.86% versus a 28.8% return for
the rest of the world's stock markets. Leading the international fray were
emerging markets which rebounded from a dismal 1998 to a gain of more than 63%.
Europe kept pace with the U.S., however, currency moves of the Euro vs. the
dollar eroded most gains for American investors. The biggest surprise was Japan,
which increased 60.6% in U.S. dollar terms.
In contrast to the ebullient stock market, bonds suffered their worst year since
1994, and second worst year since 1973. Rising interest rates, inflation fears
and Y2K jitters all contributed to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(5)
loss of more than 50 basis points (0.50%), compared to a positive 8.69% return
in 1998. What investors usually think of as the safest bonds, Treasuries, fell
more than 14%, after returning more than 17% last year. Yields moved
accordingly. By year end, the 30-year Treasury bond was yielding 6.48%, up from
5.10% at the beginning of the year. Only emerging market debt provided a
positive return, increasing 23.6%.

and continue their volatility.

MADISON SQUARE ADVISORS LLC
ADVISER'S REPORT
Market Overview
During 1999, stocks and bonds experienced a dramatic divergence in investment
returns. Strong domestic economic growth, impressive corporate earnings gains,
and modest inflationary pressure combined with the widespread recognition of the
importance and reality of the technology and communications revolution, resulted
in a fifth consecutive year of double-digit returns for the U.S. equity markets.
However, in recognition of this robust growth, the Federal Reserve Bank shifted
to a restrictive monetary policy from accommodative and raised the Federal Funds
rate three different times. As a consequence and in anticipation of future
tightening, the yield on 10 year Treasury bonds increased by over 1 3/4%,
reaching 6.44% by year-end. This significant increase in interest rates produced
returns for fixed income investments in a range of low single digit negative to
positive returns.
As we begin 2000, we anticipate that economic growth in the U.S. will remain
strong. We see a modest pick-up in inflation associated with higher energy
prices and labor costs, partially offset by continued limitations on pricing
power associated with worldwide excess industrial capacity. We anticipate that
economic growth overseas will be stronger than that of the U.S. and believe that
the U.S. dollar will experience downward pressure relative to other major
currencies. These factors should produce some pressure on profit margins of U.S.
corporations, especially those without leading positions in their respective
marketplaces.
We believe that upward pressure on interest rates will continue as inflationary
pressure increases. Separately, one of the most powerful factors for the bond
market will be stock market volatility which should have an especially strong
impact on market technicals, increasing the risk associated with spread fixed
income products despite positive fundamentals.
Looking forward, we believe that the upcoming year will present some challenges,
especially for equity investors accustomed to the returns of the recent past. We
perceive that valuation levels for certain sectors may come under attack.
Nevertheless, we are continuing to benefit from fundamental factors such as
technological innovation, deregulation, improved inventory management, and
increased global trade. Such powerful factors lead us to remain positive in our
outlook for the investment environment.

MAINSTAY VP CAPITAL APPRECIATION PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In 1999, the S&P 500(R) Index(1) recorded a 21.04% gain, marking the fifth
consecutive year of returns over 20%. Early in the year, investors rotated out
of growth stocks into value equities. As the year progressed, however, many
investors became enamored with Internet and technology stocks, causing growth
stocks to largely outperform other domestic asset classes. Around the world,
stock markets soared as global economies recovered from the crisis in 1998.
On the economic front, three Federal Reserve interest-rate increases triggered
much of the stock market's volatility, as the Federal Reserve ("Fed") tried to
slow economic growth and keep inflation in check. Although surging oil prices
raised inflation concerns, in most sectors pricing power remained limited and
inflation was low. We believe the combination of a strong economy and modest
inflation led many investors to buy stocks in the face of rising interest rates.
As investors began to sense that Y2K concerns were perhaps overblown, they
flocked to stocks at the end of the year.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the MainStay VP Capital Appreciation
Portfolio returned 25.41%, outperforming the 21.04% return of the S&P 500(R)
Index over the same period, but underperforming the 40.06% return of the average
Lipper(2) Variable Products Capital Appreciation Portfolio.
TECHNOLOGY STOCKS
Technology stocks led the market's advance throughout most of 1999. Oracle
(+290%) was the Portfolio's best-performing stock in 1999. Other strong
technology stocks included Sun Microsystems (+262%), EMC (+160%), and Cisco
Systems (+138%). Each of these was among the Portfolio's largest holdings and
had a major positive impact on performance.
Key technology purchases in 1999 included Motorola, Texas Instruments, and
Nextel Communications. Each of these three companies benefited from tremendous
market growth in wireless technology and contributed positively to the
Portfolio's performance.
RADIO, CABLE, AND MEDIA
Throughout the year, the Portfolio benefited from increased exposure to radio,
cable, and media companies that would enjoy increasing revenue and income growth
from higher advertising spending and advanced technology.
During the third quarter we began purchasing Corning for the Portfolio, a
largely misunderstood company whose value lies in its fast-growing fiber-optic
cable and photonics businesses. Corning is a major supplier to telecom carriers
and related equipment companies and is a major beneficiary of the drive to
increase bandwidth through optical technology. Since its initial purchase, the
stock has almost doubled.
In January through June we purchased Omnicom Group for the Portfolio, one of the
world's largest advertising agencies. The company is capitalizing on Internet
trends and stands to benefit in 2000 from advertising spending for the Olympics
and the Presidential election. In the utility sector, we purchased AES, the
world's largest independent power generator for the Portfolio, benefiting from
energy deregulation and contracts to provide energy at competitive prices.
HEALTH CARE AND PHARMACEUTICALS
Genentech, a large biotechnology company, has doubled since its initial purchase
by the Portfolio. The company delivered two promising cancer drugs to market and
moved several products closer to FDA approval. We also purchased Amgen, one of
the world's largest biotech companies for the Portfolio, as new products due in
2000 moved the company into an accelerating growth phase.
While biotech companies soared, traditional drug stocks showed poor performance
throughout the year. Wholesale drug distributor Cardinal Health and
pharmaceutical companies Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and Schering-Plough, were among the
Portfolio's worst performers. We sold the Portfolio's Eli Lilly holdings during
the second quarter and the stock continued to decline after the sale. In
December, we sold Pfizer and trimmed all of the Portfolio's health care
holdings. We believe election debates on health care issues will make these
stocks more controversial in the coming year.
OTHER SECTORS
Retailers had varied results. Home Depot showed accelerating revenue and
earnings growth of greater than 40% and capitalized on a hot housing market to
return 69% for the year. Although Nordstrom held out the promise
28
<PAGE> 29
of a restructuring that would result in an earnings turn around, we sold the
Portfolio's holdings in the department store when anticipated changes failed to
materialize.
Consumer staples had a negative impact on the Portfolio's performance. Kroger
and Safeway, the nation's two largest supermarket chains, declined significantly
in 1999. In December, Kroger reported disappointing earnings, which led us to
sell both of these supermarket stocks. Since the market was moving away from
defensive stocks as Y2K approached, the sales helped position the Portfolio
positively for the year ahead.
While some financial stocks such as Citigroup and American International Group
performed well in 1999, we saw rising interest rates as a reason to sell the
Portfolio's holdings in Fannie Mae, Southtrust, and Conseco early in the year.
We also sold holdings in Freddie Mac in the third quarter and Associates First
Capital in the fourth. Although some of these sales were at a loss for the year,
the proceeds were used to purchase more productive assets, so we believe they
were beneficial for the Portfolio.
LOOKING AHEAD
As we enter the new year, we continue to favor technology, media, and
telecommunications companies. In health care, regulatory concerns have prompted
us to shift our focus more toward biotechnology stocks. Since we anticipate
further tightening moves by the Federal Reserve, the Portfolio will enter 2000
underweighted in financials.
No matter what the economy or the markets may bring, the Portfolio will continue
to seek long-term growth of capital appreciation. Dividend income, if any, is an
incidental consideration.

MAINSTAY VP CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three major factors impacted the money markets over the year ending December 31,
1999 -- strong domestic economic growth, Federal Reserve ("Fed") actions, and
liquidity concerns surrounding Y2K. These factors combined to push yields on
short-term money market securities significantly higher.
Rapid U.S. economic growth, benign inflation, low unemployment, and a
spectacular run-up in the U.S. equity market resulted in strong consumer
spending in 1999. Concerned about the pace of economic growth and the
possibility of inflation, the Federal Reserve raised the targeted federal funds
rate three times in 1999 -- on June 30, August 24, and November 16 -- by 0.25%
each time. The year ended with the targeted federal funds rate at 5.50% and the
discount rate at 5.00%.
Money market investors and issuers alike believed liquidity would be scarce as
the end of the year approached and concern over Y2K heightened. Both corporate
and asset-backed issuers flooded the market with paper early on, hoping to
secure their year-end financing. The resulting supply of debt securities caused
both interest rates and credit spreads to increase substantially during the
summer.
To help calm the markets and ensure liquidity in the financial markets leading
up to the end of the year, the Federal Reserve announced in October that it
would provide the market with several temporary liquidity programs. One such
program was a repurchase-agreement facility with expanded collateral guidelines
to include pass-through mortgage securities of GNMA, FHLMC, and FNMA, STRIP
securities of the U.S. Treasury, and "stripped" securities of other government
agencies. The Federal Reserve also established a temporary standby financing
facility. As with most other secular Y2K fears, the money markets' liquidity
concerns turned out to be for naught.
STRONG RELATIVE PERFORMANCE
For the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, the Portfolio returned 4.84%,
exceeding the 4.75% return of the average Lipper(1) Variable Products Money
Market Portfolio over the same period.
STRATEGIC MATURITY AND SECTOR POSITIONING
During the first half of the year, we lengthened the maturity of the Portfolio
relative to the average money-market fund when we felt that short-term interest
rates had already priced in more than a 0.25% increase in the federal funds rate
even before the Fed made its first official tightening move at the end of June.
This maturity-extending strategy proved effective for Portfolio performance as
the portfolio benefited from the higher rates during this time. Also, when
interest rates declined after the June 30, 1999 Federal Reserve rate hike, the
Portfolio had a comparatively smaller percentage of its assets to reinvest at
the lower rates.
Early in the fourth quarter, we positioned the Portfolio to be able to provide
sufficient liquidity during the months of December and January. We also arranged
to have a certain percentage of the securities in the Portfolio maturing daily
during the months just preceding and following the new year. In October 1999, we
also began to invest in securities maturing after January 1, 2000. The yields on
these securities further benefited Portfolio performance. As of December 31,
1999, the Portfolio's average maturity stood at 58 days.
HIGH CREDIT QUALITY
The Portfolio's investments throughout the year centered on floating-rate notes,
bank certificates of deposit (CDs), commercial paper, and asset-backed
commercial paper. We primarily invested the Portfolio in securities of finance,
insurance, brokerage, industrial, banks, and bank holding companies. We
continued to invest only in first-tier securities, or generally those
money-market instruments in the highest rating category. The Portfolio did not
invest in any second-tier securities nor did it invest in split-rated issues
(those rated in the highest rating category by one credit rating agency and in
the second-highest rating category by another). The Portfolio's concentration on
the highest-quality securities helped manage portfolio risk.
LOOKING AHEAD
As the Federal Reserve Board's 1999 interest-rate increases filter through the
economy, we believe they may help contain inflationary pressures and slow
economic growth in the first half of 2000. Although the consumer remains
confident, higher borrowing costs and fewer opportunities to increase disposable
income will likely temper spending patterns. For example, current 30-year
mortgage rates offer far less incentive to refinance than

those available at the beginning of 1999. We believe business spending, however,
may be on the rise early in the year 2000, as cash set aside for potential Y2K
compliance issues is redirected to capital spending.
Recent comments by Federal Reserve officials continue to indicate that they view
the tight labor market as an imminent inflationary risk. The Fed does not
believe that the "new economy" repeals the old rules of supply and demand, which
means we may see further moves to raise rates during the first part of the new
year.
The degree of tightening and the timing of the Federal Reserve's next moves will
be key to U.S. money-market performance. For the near term, we will likely
manage the Portfolio with a shorter maturity than in 1999 to be well positioned
for any potential rate increases. We also intend to remain focused on quality,
as the Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is considered
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.

MAINSTAY VP CONVERTIBLE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The most significant factor influencing the convertible market in 1999 was the
dramatic upsurge in NASDAQ(1) stocks, which rose 85.59% during the year. Since
convertibles have a high correlation with small- and mid-cap stocks, the
performance of NASDAQ stocks greatly influences the performance of the
convertible market.
The NASDAQ's strength was propelled by advances in the technology and
telecommunications sectors, both of which are well represented in the
convertible market. These factors, combined with solid economic growth, modest
inflation, and stable credit spreads, helped make 1999 an outstanding year for
convertible securities.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Portfolio returned 41.98%,
outperforming the 33.51% return of the First Boston Convertible Securities
Index(2) and the 21.04% return of the S&P 500(R) Index(3). The Portfolio
underperformed the 48.10% return of the average Lipper(4) Variable Products
Specialty/Miscellaneous Portfolio.
Although the Federal Reserve moved to tighten interest rates three times during
the year, our bottom-up investment strategy allowed us to largely ignore these
macroeconomic changes, which had little impact on market enthusiasm for
small-and mid-cap stocks.
The Portfolio's strongest-performing security was United Global Communications,
whose stock rose 633% in 1999 as the company built a global cable footprint and
profitably leveraged its last-mile infrastructure. Our early access to analysis
of the company's high-yield bond potential allowed the Portfolio to participate
in the stock's rise long before the company drew wide attention from equity
analysts.
An Amkor Technologies convertible was another top-performer for the Portfolio in
1999. Amkor Technologies is a Korean semiconductor packaging company that was
hurt during the Asian financial crisis of 1998. Careful equity and credit
research showed that the company had strong fundamentals, little downside risk,
and strong upside potential. The Portfolio's timely purchase paid off for
shareholders as both the common stock and bond values appreciated.
SIGNIFICANT PURCHASES, SALES, AND SECTOR WEIGHTINGS
At the end of October, when Internet stocks were still out of favor, the
Portfolio purchased US Internetworking, a company that hosts software on its
servers, allowing small- and medium-size businesses to reduce software rental
costs. The Portfolio was able to establish a large position in the bond market
at attractive prices -- and with the subsequent Internet rally, both the stock
and bond doubled in price by year-end.
The Portfolio was overweighted in the oil service sector in April. At the time,
we believed the group was oversold, primarily due to a warm winter and a lack of
drilling. From April through the end of the year, the group performed well. As
Asian economies recovered, demand for oil increased, and better discipline from
OPEC led to a recovery in the price of oil and natural gas, causing stock prices
to rise. The overweighted position contributed positively to the Portfolio's
performance and the Portfolio remained overweighted in oil services as of
year-end.
LOOKING AHEAD
In light of high equity valuations, we anticipate increasing volatility in the
stock market which may translate into substantial downside risk. We believe that
convertibles should exhibit less volatility than stocks and may participate in
any market rise. The Portfolio will continue to look for convertibles where we
believe it can participate in a substantial portion of the common stock's upside
potential while limiting exposure to downside risk.
The Portfolio will continue its bottom-up approach to the convertible market,
focusing on the fundamental characteristics of individual securities rather than
on general economic trends. Whatever the economy or the markets may bring, the
Portfolio will continue to seek capital appreciation together with current
income.

MAINSTAY VP GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The U.S. economy showed considerable strength in 1999, with gross domestic
product continuing to expand and inflation remaining modest. With consumer
spending on the rise and a tight labor market, many investors paid close
attention to inflation indicators throughout the year -- including oil prices,
wages, commodity values, producer prices, and the cost of consumer goods and
services.
The Federal Reserve moved to slow economic growth and reduce inflationary
pressures by raising the targeted federal funds rate in successive 25
basis-point moves in June, August, and November. Since bond prices tend to
decline when interest rates rise, Federal Reserve activity had a generally
negative impact on domestic bond markets.
As higher interest rates filtered through the economy, they slowed the rate of
business expansion and tempered consumer spending. Corporate bonds suffered in
1999 as rising interest rates made it more expensive for companies to raise the
capital they may need to meet earnings projections. With mortgage rates ending
1999 about 100 basis points higher than at the beginning of the year,
refinancing incentives have declined. As we move into the year 2000, however,
business spending could increase as companies redirect capital from Y2K computer
reprogramming to other productive uses.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Portfolio returned -1.74%,
outperforming the -2.13% return of the average Lipper(1) Variable Products
General U.S. Government Portfolio and the -2.23% return of the Lehman Brothers
Government Index(2).
Federal Reserve action had a major influence on both the bond markets and the
Portfolio's performance during 1999. Interest rates rose approximately 170 basis
points for 2-year Treasuries and 135 basis points for 30-year Treasuries,
flattening the yield curve by 35 basis points. Although the Portfolio was
initially positioned with an average maturity close to that of the market, early
in the second quarter of 1999, we repositioned the Portfolio very defensively by
shortening duration and emphasizing certain portions of the yield curve. This
helped to protect the portfolio as interest rates rose and the yield curve
flattened.
Throughout 1999, liquidity and supply dynamics played an important role in the
Portfolio's investment strategy. With a continuing budget surplus allowing the
government to pay down Treasury debt, 30-year Treasuries became increasingly
scarce -- and hence, increasingly valuable -- relative to 5-year and 10-year
Treasuries. The Portfolio's 30-year Treasury position was further enhanced later
in the year by increasing demand among investors seeking a measure of Y2K
protection and liquidity.
MORTGAGE-BACKED AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
During the first quarter of 1999, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized
mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities all performed well as yield
spreads relative to Treasuries tightened. As interest rates rose during the
second quarter, however, mortgage-backed securities tended to extend maturities,
creating unfavorable risk profiles. To help manage this concern and reduce
credit risk, the Portfolio favored AAA-rated(3) commercial mortgages and U.S.
Treasury securities. In the second quarter of 1999, commercial mortgages
provided attractive returns relative to agency mortgage-backed securities.
Unfortunately, remaining underweighted in agency mortgage-backed securities
detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance in the second half of the
year, as a change in Federal Reserve repurchase guidelines caused spreads to
tighten dramatically throughout the mortgage-backed securities market. Overall,
the Portfolio reduced its commitment to mortgage-backed securities from an above
index weight of 1998 to more of a market weight at the end of 1999.
LOOKING AHEAD
Although inflation has remained modest, the Federal Reserve continues to view a
tight labor market as an imminent inflationary risk. As a result, along with
much of the market, we anticipate additional Federal Reserve tightening in early
2000, which may result in a slightly flatter yield curve. As 2000 unfolds, we
believe commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities will
outperform agency mortgage-backed issues, and we have positioned the Portfolio
accordingly.

MAINSTAY VP HIGH YIELD CORPORATE BOND PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The stock market continued to rise in 1999 with the S&P 500(R) Index(1)
recording its fifth consecutive year with returns over 20%. In the bond market,
however, things weren't quite as rosy. The Federal Reserve moved to raise
interest rates in June, August, and November, causing higher-quality bonds to
provide negative total returns for the year. Despite continuing volatility and
below-average liquidity, the high-yield bond market fared considerably better,
remaining strong through most of the year. However, default rates increased
substantially, nearly tripling to 5.5% according to statistics from Moody's
Investors Services(2).
Navigating in this environment required careful credit analysis, meticulous
security selection, and ongoing monitoring, as many well-established companies
faced difficulties during the year. Many managers shunned single-B issuers in
favor of higher-quality BB issues(3), while other managers were unable to dodge
the abundant credit problems that plagued the market.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
In 1999, the MainStay VP High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio returned 12.84%.
The Portfolio outperformed the 3.81% return of the average Lipper(4) Variable
Products High Current Yield Portfolio and the 3.28% return of the First Boston
High Yield Index(5) for the same period, to rank in the top 5% of all portfolios
in the Lipper Variable Products high current yield universe.
The Portfolio outperformed its peers because we were able to overweight the
single-B portion of the market without experiencing a higher default rate in
1999. We had conviction in our investment process and used the market's
uncertainty to add to our favorite names at discounted prices. The Portfolio was
rewarded when several of its holdings in telecom, cable, and media went public
or were acquired by stronger credits. Additionally, our focus on managing the
Portfolio through asset coverage and free cash flow helped minimize mistakes
within the Portfolio.
STRONG AND WEAK PERFORMERS
UIH Australia/Pacific zero-coupon bonds had the greatest positive impact on
performance during 1999. We owned the bonds of this pay-television service and
programming company in 1998 and increased our position during the second half of
1998, believing the company's asset value was improving and competition was
waning. Our view was confirmed when the company's parent went public in July
1999. We continue to have a large position in these securities because we feel
that the company will refinance the bonds when the issue matures.
Spanish Broadcasting System is a domestic Spanish-language radio broadcasting
company. The Portfolio owned Spanish Broadcasting System bonds and preferred
stock when the company went public during the year and tendered for both
securities at significant premiums to the Portfolio's investment cost.
American Telecasting is a wireless cable company that owned a wireless spectrum
in several major markets. We bought American Telecasting bonds for the Portfolio
at deeply discounted prices in 1998, believing the spectrum had untapped value.
Our assessment proved correct when Sprint acquired American Telecasting in 1999,
generating a solid return on the Portfolio's investment.
Tokai Bank is a large, regional Japanese bank with a dominant share of the
markets in which it operates. In 1998, we bought Tokai Bank bonds in the
secondary market at a substantial discount, believing the bank was well
capitalized, would issue a secondary equity offering, and would benefit from
Japanese fiscal reform. As these premises proved true, the bonds traded up
substantially during the year.
Telehub Communications is a start-up company that suffered delays in
implementing its software strategy and performed poorly for the Portfolio in
1999. We continue to hold bonds, believing the company's technology can be
profitably sold to a more-established telecom firm.
IPC Magazines Group is a U.K.-based publisher of specialty magazines that failed
to meet its projections for subscriptions, ad pages, and cash flow growth. When
the company announced poor earnings, the Portfolio's bond investment declined
sharply. Since the company has strong equity sponsorship, good market share,
significant asset coverage, and the possibility of an IPO in 2000, the Portfolio
continues to hold the bonds.
SIGNIFICANT PURCHASES AND SALES
During 1999, we found more value in existing Portfolio positions than in new
issues. One such position was United Pan-Europe Communications (UPC), a sibling
of United International Holdings (UIH) and UIH's most valuable asset. We traded
out of the Portfolio's UIH position during the year and into the UPC credit for
what we believed was a more attractive risk/reward profile.
37
<PAGE> 38
We also added to an existing position in ICG Services, making it one of the
larger telecommunications positions in the Portfolio. Although the company's
traditional business is struggling, ICG Services has moved into dial-up Internet
access, with customers including Microsoft Network and Qwest Communications.
With unlimited demand for the company's Internet offering and over 80% of
forecast additions already in backlog, we believe ICG Services' securities are
likely to outperform the market in 2000.
We increased the Portfolio's position in Millicom International Cellular, a
cellular network owner/operator in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa,
impressed with its rapidly growing subscriber base and telecommunication assets
in Europe that are more than sufficient to cover the Portfolio's bond
investment. In light of global wireless consolidation, we believe these bonds
may outperform in 2000 and may be retired when they begin to pay dividends.
The Portfolio actively purchased a new issue from CD Radio, now called Sirius
Satellite Radio, due to launch its commercial-free radio access later in 2000 or
early 2001. We are attracted to the company because it has little competition
and a strong business model that promises to break even and cover interest
expense even with very low market penetration levels.
The Portfolio's position in Marcus Cable, an owner and operator of cable
systems, was purchased in a tender by the company following its acquisition by
Vulcan Ventures, the investment arm of Paul Allen. We also sold the Portfolio's
position in Tokai Bank when it reached our price target and American
Telecasting, following its acquisition by Sprint.
AVOIDING DEFAULTS
Entering 1999, we believed that the high-yield market was oversold due to weak
technicals brought on by Russia's default and the ongoing liquidation of Long
Term Capital LLC. In hindsight, wide spreads on high-yield securities were a
signal that default rates would rise dramatically during the year. While this
was not surprising, the magnitude was much greater than we anticipated, with
defaults nearly tripling to 5.5% according to Moody's statistics.
Credit difficulties were not limited to weak single-B credits or securities
rated CCC.(6) Several issuers rated BB- or higher also faced debt-service
problems, with several well-established companies among the market's worst
performers, including Fruit of the Loom, Harnischfeger Industries, Pillowtex,
Rite Aid, Service Corp. International, and Sun Healthcare.
SECTOR WEIGHTINGS
The Portfolio continues to invest in industries with high barriers to entry or
companies with large market share. Cable and media continue to dominate the
Portfolio, and this sector had a positive impact on performance. Utilities and
REITs were also overweighted during the year. While these sectors were impacted
by rising rates, spreads tightened considerably on our holdings. The Portfolio
was also overweighted in health care, one of the worst-performing sectors of
1998. The Portfolio focused on credits, including Quest Diagnostics, Medaphis,
and MedPartners, that outperformed the sector and the market during the year.
Although underweighted in telecommunications, which outperformed in 1999, the
Portfolio was not adversely affected, since it owned several top-performing
issues including those of CD Radio, Millicom International Cellular, and
HighwayMaster Communications.
Given our belief that we are in the later stages of an economic cycle, the
Portfolio underweighted cyclicals during 1999. Underweighting paper hurt
performance, since the sector performed well as demand increased with the global
economic recovery. The Portfolio has underweighted retailers and supermarkets,
which have continued to flounder; and gaming and energy, based on their
valuations.
As of year end, the overall credit quality of the securities in the Portfolio's
investment portfolio was single-B. We believe single-B securities offer the
greatest value and potential to managers who can minimize defaults through
stringent credit analysis.
LOOKING AHEAD
With high yield spreads offering nearly an 80% premium to Treasuries at
year-end, we believe the market is undervalued and that spreads may tighten.
While we expect default rates to remain above their historical averages, we
expect them to decline during the year with positive implications for the
market. Positive credit events, including mergers and acquisitions, are likely
to continue in the telecommunications sector. And despite poor performances in
1999, health care, transportation, and textiles, appear to be stabilizing.
As always, the corporate earnings environment and the health of the economy will
play a significant role in high-yield returns. We continue to believe that we
are in the later stages of the economic cycle and that
38
<PAGE> 39
corporate earnings growth is slowing. Whatever the market may bring, the
Portfolio will continue to maximize current income through investment in a
diversified portfolio of high-yield high risk debt securities, which are
ordinarily in the lower ratings categories of recognized ratings agencies, with
capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

MAINSTAY VP INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The stock markets began 1999 on a positive note, as a bailout package for
Brazil, led by the International Monetary Fund, eased investor concerns about
continuing volatility in some markets. Early in the year, enthusiasm over the
January introduction of the euro began to fade and European stocks declined,
while a strengthening economy in Japan caused stocks there to rise. European
stocks recovered throughout the remainder of the year, and by year-end all major
European markets posted positive returns in local-currency terms. Finland
(+195.9%) was by far the leader, followed by Sweden (+89.4%), France (+51.4%),
and Germany (+40.6%), all in local-currency terms. For U.S. investors,
performance was generally lower, with several countries providing negative
returns in U.S.-dollar terms, including Belgium (-14.26%), Ireland (-12.63%),
Austria (-9.11%), Portugal (-8.88%), Switzerland (-7.02%), and Italy (-0.26%).
Asian equities continued to advance throughout 1999, as central bank action,
fiscal stimulus packages, tax cuts, and increasing merger and acquisition
activity drew investor attention to the region. Leading Asian markets included
Singapore (+101.33%), Hong Kong (+60.06%), and Japan (+46.57%), all in
local-currency terms. Currency differences had less of a negative impact on
Asian securities, and with the strengthening of the Japanese yen, Japan was the
strongest Asian market in U.S.-dollar terms (+61.53%).
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the MainStay VP International Equity
Portfolio returned 28.06%, underperforming the 43.32% return of the average
Lipper(1) Variable Products International Portfolio for the same period. Much of
the Portfolio's underperformance can be attributed to being underweighted in
Japan, overweighted in Europe, and having sizeable investments in a few
underperforming countries.
During 1999, the Portfolio outperformed the 26.96% return of the Morgan Stanley
Capital International EAFE (MSCI EAFE) Index(2).
PACIFIC-RIM INVESTMENTS
Perhaps the most significant move the Portfolio made during 1999 was to
dramatically increase its weighting in Japanese stocks. Since the economic
recovery in Japan was still in its early stages, the Portfolio focused first on
the "new Japan" stocks, with telecom and technology names and other companies
with a worldwide franchise such as Sony and Toyota Motor. Later in the year, the
Portfolio added more stocks of companies with a Japanese market orientation that
were poised to benefit from restructuring efforts. Among the Portfolio's
strongest-performing Japanese stocks were NTT Mobile Communications Network,
Sony, and NTT Data. The Portfolio's positions in Japanese banks and nonlife
insurers lagged the market.
Sony was typical of the kind of restructuring that is benefiting Japanese
stocks. The company is a household name in electronic equipment, televisions,
electronic components, semiconductors, computers, and telecommunications
equipment. In 1999, the company advanced 268.00% in local currency terms after
announcing a new business policy to create value, adopting a new holding-company
structure, and introducing an impressive line-up of consumer products for the
year 2000.
With Japan signaling a recovery, other Asian markets also staged a rapid
comeback, improving their earnings growth and gross domestic product. While the
Portfolio's investments in Hong Kong and Singapore contributed positively to
overall performance, being underweighted in these markets was a negative, given
their outstanding returns in U.S. dollar terms.
In Australia, the Portfolio was neutrally weighted, but focused on natural
resources and telecom companies. Broken Hill Proprietary and WMC were two of the
Portfolio's natural resource investments that benefited from rising commodity
prices in an expanding global economy. Telstra and Cable & Wireless Optus are
the first and second largest telecommunications companies in Australia,
respectively, and both contributed positively to the Portfolio's performance.
EUROPEAN HIGHLIGHTS
In Europe, the Portfolio had established positions in Finland and Sweden late in
1998. During 1999, these were among the best performing European markets.
Finnish cellular company Nokia returned 245.24% in local-currency terms, and was
the Portfolio's largest holding for much of the year. The Portfolio had
purchased Ericsson shares, a Swedish cellular company, late in 1998. Although
the stock had a positive impact on Portfolio performance, we sold it in the
first quarter of 1999 when new product delays and management changes began to
undermine investor confidence in the company.

<PAGE> 41
French and German stocks were the leading Euroland markets for the Portfolio in
both local-currency and U.S. dollar terms. Both markets benefited from the
improvements in earnings and Gross Domestic Products growth, as well as
corporate restructurings, mergers, and acquisitions as companies adapt to a new
European business environment with fewer barriers.
Epcos an electronic-component and integrated-circuit producer for the telecom,
auto, and consumer-electronics industries is the product of a ten-year joint
venture between Siemen's of Germany and Matsushita in Japan. The company issued
shares in October 1999, and by year-end had returned 122.39% in local-currency
terms.
German pharmaceutical manufacturer Schering gained 12.28% for the year in
local-currency terms, outperforming the health & personal care sector of the
MSCI EAFE Index by a substantial margin. The company is the leader in fertility
control and is benefiting from a share repurchase program. Another
pharmaceutical name, Roche Holdings, advanced 10.46% in local-currency terms,
also outperforming its EAFE Index sector. The Swiss company increased sales by
12% in 1999, which was better than the market anticipated.
Other strong European performers included Irish cement company CRH which rose
45.29% in local terms on increased infrastructure spending by governments
throughout Europe. The company continues to acquire companies to enhance its
growth. Telefonica is a Spanish telecommunications company serving the Iberian
peninsula, Latin America, and the United States. The stock rose 104.11% in local
terms during the year, contributing positively to the Portfolio's performance.
A stock that underperformed expectations was German automotive giant,
DaimlerChrysler. Despite the manufacturer's worldwide reach and a generally
strong automotive market, the company continued to suffer from margin pressures
due to incentive plans, and returned -8.33% in local terms for the year.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Portfolio continues to view Japan's expansion as an important development
and will seek to capitalize on companies that are well positioned in growing
market sectors. The Portfolio also favors companies with global market reach, as
they may be able to withstand any setbacks the Japanese market may encounter on
its new expansion path.
In Europe, the Portfolio continues to prefer selected peripheral markets,
including Finland, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal, with a concentration on
technology and telecom companies, which we believe have yet to reach their full
potential.
No matter what the global economy or individual markets may bring, the Portfolio
will continue to seek long-term growth of capital by investing in a portfolio
consisting primarily of non-U.S. equity securities, with current income as a
secondary objective.

MAINSTAY VP TOTAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The U.S. economy showed considerable strength in 1999, with Gross Domestic
Product continuing to expand and inflation remaining modest. With consumer
spending on the rise and a tight labor market, many investors paid close
attention to inflation indicators throughout the year -- including oil prices,
wages, commodity values, producer prices, and the cost of consumer goods and
services.
Throughout most of 1999, the stock market continued to soar, with the S&P 500(R)
Index(1) providing its fifth straight year of returns over 20%. Technology and
Internet stocks led the way, with telecommunications, cable, and media companies
also providing strong results. Despite an early rotation into value stocks, the
market primarily focused on growth equities -- and despite three 25 basis point
tightening moves by the Federal Reserve in June, August, and November, stocks
ended the year on a rapidly rising trend.
Unfortunately, Federal Reserve activity had a generally negative impact on
domestic bond markets. Over time, however, higher interest rates may have
positive effects, by slowing economic growth, holding inflation in check, and
helping control consumer spending.
Corporate bonds suffered in 1999 as rising interest rates made it more expensive
for companies to raise the capital they needed to meet earnings projections.
With mortgage rates ending 1999 about 100 basis points higher than at the
beginning of the year, refinancing incentives have declined. As we move into the
year 2000, however, business spending could increase as companies redirect
capital from Y2K computer reprogramming to other productive uses.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the MainStay VP Total Return Portfolio
returned 17.02%. The Portfolio substantially outperformed the 8.67% return of
the average Lipper(2) Variable Products Balanced Portfolio, to rank within the
top 12% of all peer portfolios. The Portfolio underperformed, however, the S&P
500(R) Index return of 21.04%.
EQUITY STRATEGIES AND RESULTS
In the equity portion of the Portfolio, technology stocks led the market's
advance throughout most of 1999. Oracle (+290%) was the Portfolio's
best-performing stock in 1999. Other strong technology stocks included Sun
Microsystems (+262%), EMC (+160%), and Cisco Systems (+138%). Each of these was
among the Portfolio's largest holdings and had a major positive impact on
performance.
During the third quarter the Portfolio began purchasing Corning, a largely
misunderstood company whose value lies in its fast-growing fiber-optic cable and
photonics businesses. Corning is a major supplier to telecom and related
equipment companies and is a major beneficiary of the drive to increase
bandwidth through optical technology. Since its initial purchase, the stock has
almost doubled.
Key technology purchases in 1999 included Motorola, Texas Instruments, and
Nextel Communications, all of which contributed positively to the Portfolio's
performance.
The equity portion of the Portfolio also benefited from exposure to radio,
cable, and media companies that enjoyed increasing revenue and income growth
from higher advertising spending and advanced technology. We purchased Omnicom
Group, one of the world's largest advertising agencies, for the Portfolio, which
stands to benefit in 2000 from advertising spending for the Olympics and the
Presidential election. In the utility sector, we purchased AES, one of the
world's largest independent power generator, benefiting from energy deregulation
and contracts to provide energy at competitive prices.
The price of shares of Genentech, a large biotechnology company, has doubled
since our initial purchase for the Portfolio. The company delivered two
promising cancer drugs to market and moved several products closer to FDA
approval. We also purchased Amgen, one of the world's largest biotech companies,
for the Portfolio, as new products due in 2000 moved the company into an
accelerating growth phase. While biotech companies soared, traditional drug
stocks showed poor performance throughout the year. Wholesale drug distributor
Cardinal Health and pharmaceutical companies Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and
Schering-Plough, were among the Portfolio's worst performers. We sold the
Portfolio's Eli Lilly holdings during the third quarter and the stock continued
to decline after the sale. In December, we sold the Portfolio's Pfizer holdings
and trimmed all of the Portfolio's health care holdings. We believe election
debates on health care issues will make these stocks more controversial in the
coming year.
43
<PAGE> 44
Retailers had varied results, with Home Depot gaining 69% for the year, while
Nordstrom failed to realize the earnings promise of a proposed restructuring. We
sold the Portfolio's holdings. Consumer staples had a negative impact on the
Portfolio's performance, with Kroger and Safeway declining significantly before
a negative earnings announcement at Kroger prompted us to sell both supermarket
stocks.
While some financial stocks such as Citigroup and American International Group
performed well in 1999, we saw rising interest rates as a reason to sell the
Portfolio's holdings in Fannie Mae, Southtrust, and Conseco early in the year.
We also sold Freddie Mac in the third quarter and Associates First Capital in
the fourth. Although some of these sales were at a loss for the year, the
proceeds were used to purchase more productive assets, so we believe they were
beneficial for the Portfolio.
BOND STRATEGIES AND RESULTS
Federal Reserve action had a major influence on the income portion of the
Portfolio. With 30-year Treasury yields rising less than 2-year Treasuries, the
yield curve flattened, allowing the Portfolio to greatly benefit from a
defensive duration position and concentration in specific parts of the yield
curve.
With a continuing budget surplus allowing the government to pay down Treasury
debt, 30-year Treasuries became increasingly scarce -- and hence, increasingly
valuable -- relative to 5-year and 10-year Treasuries. The Portfolio's 30-year
Treasury position was further enhanced later in the year by increasing demand
among investors seeking a measure of Y2K protection and liquidity.
SECTOR-BY-SECTOR RESULTS
During the first quarter of 1999, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized
mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities all performed well as yield
spreads relative to Treasuries tightened. As interest rates rose during the
second quarter, however, mortgage-backed securities tended to extend maturities,
creating unfavorable risk profiles. To help manage this concern and reduce
credit risk, the Portfolio favored AAA-rated(3) commercial mortgages and U.S.
Treasury securities, which provided attractive relative returns in the second
quarter of 1999. The decision to underweight agency mortgage-backed securities
detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance in the second half of the
year, however, as a change in Federal Reserve repurchase guidelines caused
spreads to tighten dramatically. Overall, the Portfolio reduced its commitment
to mortgage-backed securities over the course of the year.
Early in 1999, spreads tightened substantially among higher-quality corporate
credits, liquid newer issues, and bonds in less economically sensitive sectors.
The Portfolio's overweighted position in corporate bonds during this period
proved beneficial for performance. In late spring, we anticipated that spreads
would widen and reduced the Portfolio's corporate bond exposure. As Federal
Reserve tightening and many investors Y2K fears of oversupply enveloped the
market, spreads widened in the fall benefiting the Portfolio. The Portfolio is
currently positioned with a neutral corporate bond position relative to the
overall bond market.
LOOKING AHEAD
We continue to have a positive outlook for stocks in 2000, with technology,
media, and telecommunications continuing to show favorable fundamentals, even at
high valuations. We have shifted our health care focus more towards
biotechnology companies with strong product lines. We continue to underweight
financials as we anticipate more rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in early
2000.
If the Federal Reserve acts as we anticipate, it may result in a slightly
flatter yield curve. As 2000 unfolds, we believe commercial mortgage-backed
securities and asset-backed securities will outperform agency mortgage-backed
issues, and we have positioned the Portfolio accordingly.
Whatever the economy or the markets may bring, the Portfolio will continue to
seek to realize current income consistent with reasonable opportunity for future
growth of capital and income.

MAINSTAY VP VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In 1999, the equity markets posted results of historic proportions. The S&P
500(R) Index(1) recorded its fifth straight year of 20% or better returns, and
the NASDAQ Composite Index(2) recorded a gain of 85.59% -- the largest
single-year gain for any U.S. stock index on record. Technology issues led these
market advances, with Internet stocks and initial public offerings (IPOs)
capturing a great deal of investor and media attention.
As in previous years, however, much of the market's performance resulted from a
narrow group of stocks. The top ten performing stocks in the S&P 500(R)
accounted for about 65% of the total return of the Index for the year -- and
eight of those ten companies were technology related. Throughout most of the
year, the market's focus was clearly not on traditional value sectors, with
value stocks underperforming growth issues at all capitalization levels.
Financial and health care companies, which were market leaders in 1998,
underperformed the market in 1999. While value stocks provided respectable
returns in historical perspective, they could not keep pace with the torrid
advances in major technology-dominated indices.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the MainStay VP Value Portfolio returned
8.80%. The Portfolio underperformed the 14.64% return of the average
Lipper(3)Variable Products Growth and Income Portfolio and the 21.04% return of
the S&P 500(R) Index. It outperformed the 7.35% return of the Russell 1000(R)
Value Index.(4)
BASIC MATERIALS, CAPITAL GOODS, AND TECHNOLOGY
During 1999, the Portfolio's best-performing sectors were basic materials,
capital goods, technology and energy -- all of which the Portfolio overweighted
versus the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. Among basic materials stocks,
Georgia-Pacific (+75%), a pulp, paper, and building supplies producer, benefited
from a good pricing environment and a strong housing market. Smurfit-Stone
Container (+55%) benefited from pricing improvements as global economies
strengthened. Reynolds Metals (+49%), a major aluminum producer, not only
benefited from better industry fundamentals, but agreed to be acquired by Alcoa,
one of the world's largest aluminum producers. On the negative side, IMC Global
(-22%) suffered as oversupply in the fertilizer market hurt pricing.
In capital goods, Browning-Ferris, a waste management company, was purchased in
August by Allied Waste, providing a 58% return for the period the stock was held
in the Portfolio. American Standard (+27%), which manufactures air conditioning
systems and plumbing fixtures, also boosted capital goods sector returns. In
technology, Adaptec (+184%), continued to strengthen its market position, and
Seagate Technology (+59%), a stock we purchased for the Portfolio June through
August 1999, benefited from solid demand for disk drives.
Another technology-related stock that performed well for the portfolio was
Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (+131%), a Japanese-based telecom company. During
the year, we also added Bell Atlantic to the Portfolio, a name that we believed
was well positioned to take advantage of global expansion in the
telecommunications market.
ENERGY AND UTILITIES
With rising oil prices and improving fundamentals, energy stocks contributed
positively to the Portfolio's performance, with Kerr-McGee advancing 69%, Union
Pacific Resources Group up 43%, and Unocal gaining 18% for the year. During
1999, the Portfolio took profits in Kerr-McGee, Apache, Ocean Energy, and Santa
Fe Snyder, as these stocks reached our price targets, and we used the proceeds
to bolster positions in El Paso Energy (natural gas pipelines) and establish
positions in Burlington Resources (oil and gas exploration and production) and
Sunoco (refining) at what we believed to be attractive prices.
Illinova is a Midwestern utility that agreed to merge with Dynergy in a
synergistic transaction. The merger not only added value to the company but also
helped boost the stock's price by 46%.
HEALTH CARE
United HealthCare (an HMO), gained 23%. Overall, however, health care was a
challenging sector in 1999. We sold the Portfolio's position in Cigna (an HMO)
in September, when it was up roughly 10% for the year and used the proceeds to
purchase Becton, Dickinson (medical supplies), Health Management Associates
(rural hospitals), and Mylan Laboratories (branded and generic drugs) at what we
believed were depressed levels. Given the uncertainties facing hospitals and
HMOs, we believe repositioning was beneficial for the Portfolio.
46
<PAGE> 47
CONSUMER SECTORS
Consumer staples and consumer cyclicals were weaker sectors for the Portfolio in
1999. Despite strong consumer spending throughout the year, the market perceived
the spending cycle as likely to wind down after record performance. Philip
Morris (-55%) was the Portfolio's worst performing stock, suffering from
continuing concerns over tobacco litigation. Despite what we viewed as
compelling valuations, we sold the Portfolio's entire position at a loss when we
saw that ongoing litigation questions were unlikely to be resolved in the
foreseeable future. Service Corp. International, a leading funeral service
company, also had a negative impact on performance. The Portfolio purchased the
stock in April after a substantial price decline. Despite cost-cutting
initiatives, however, the stock continued to trend downward, and we sold the
Portfolio's entire position in October to cut our losses. We also sold the
Portfolio's position in Kmart at a loss for the year, when an expected
turnaround in operations failed to materialize.
We also sold the Portfolio's position in Federal-Mogul, an automotive parts
supplier, in December, when integration problems from a recent acquisition
overshadowed a good automotive production environment. The stock negatively
impacted the Portfolio's performance.
On a more positive note, we sold the Portfolio's position in Liz Claiborne
(apparel) for a 20% year-to-date gain when the stock reached our price target.
We also sold the Portfolio's position in Jones Apparel Group after the company
made a potentially dilutive acquisition. Early in the year, we sold the
Portfolio's position in Venator Group, which was down roughly 20% for the year,
when we realized that a turnaround was far from imminent. New consumer-stock
purchases in 1999 included Hasbro (toys), Newell Rubbermaid (housewares), Office
Depot (office supplies), and two food manufacturers, Heinz (H.J.) and ConAgra,
none of which have had substantial impact on the Portfolio as of year end.
FINANCIAL SECTOR
The Portfolio's financial sector stocks kept pace with its value benchmark in
1999, with Citigroup (diversified financial services) up 70% for the year, and
MGIC Investment (mortgage insurance) gaining 51%. The Portfolio took some
profits in these names and in Sallie Mae (college loans), as the stocks reached
our price targets. The proceeds were used to initiate positions in American
General (insurance), Chase Manhattan (global banking), and Fleet Boston
Financial (regional banking). We also added to the Portfolio's position in AXA
Financial (diversified financial services) at what we believed were attractive
price levels.
Early in the year, we sold the Portfolio's position in Chubb (insurance), Bank
One and Bank of America (banking), and Countrywide Credit Industries
(mortgages), when we anticipated that earnings would falter. The sales were
positive on the Portfolio since each of the stocks continued to decline through
the remainder of the year. Indeed, we sought ways to reduce the Portfolio's
exposure to financial stocks in a rising rate environment. Among the Portfolio's
weakest financial holdings were Conseco (insurance and lending) down 41%,
Allstate (insurance) down 38%, and Washington Mutual (savings and loan) down
32%. All three of these stocks declined as operating results lagged behind
expectations. Finally, Transamerica provided strong performance for the
Portfolio, gaining 29% from the beginning of the year through July, when its
acquisition by Aegon, a large Dutch insurer, was completed.
SEEKING VALUE IN OTHER SECTORS
During the year, we also purchased Air Products and Chemicals (industrial gas),
Ingersoll-Rand (industrial equipment), and Fluor (engineering and construction)
for the Portfolio. We believe that these stocks were attractively priced at the
time of purchase and that the companies are well positioned in today's expanding
global economy.
LOOKING AHEAD
We remain confident and committed to our value approach to investing. As market
enthusiasm for technology and emerging growth companies reaches speculative
levels, we believe undervalued stocks with catalysts for positive change may
provide superior long-term return potential with lower volatility.
A global economic recovery -- with strengthening economies in Asia, Latin
America, Europe, and the U.S. -- may have a positive impact on revenues and
earnings for many of the Portfolio's largest holdings. We believe double-digit
earnings are possible for selected capital good, basic materials, and energy
stocks in 2000, and currently intend to remain overweighted in these sectors.
Given the potential for continuing rate hikes in the first half of 2000, we are
currently underweighting consumer-related and financial companies.

MAINSTAY VP BOND PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Early in the year, investor sentiment shifted from an accommodating/neutral
Federal Reserve Bank ("Fed") to a restrictive Federal Reserve Bank. Concerns
about the Fed in conjunction with rising oil prices, a robust stock market and
the potential for strong economic growth and rising inflation put selling
pressure on domestic fixed income assets in 1999. Corporate bonds outperformed
U.S. Treasury securities during the year, with lower quality assets
outperforming higher quality assets in the investment grade sector. The
additional income generated by corporate bonds contributed to the majority of
this sector's strong performance relative to U.S. Treasury securities.
PERFORMANCE/MARKET REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the MainStay VP Bond Portfolio had a
return of -1.53%, outperforming both the average portfolio in its Lipper(1) peer
group (Corporate Debt A Rated), which returned -1.96% and the Merrill Lynch
Corporate and Government Master Index(2), which returned -2.05%. Market risk was
limited by maintaining a relatively neutral duration posture throughout the
year. Credit risk was limited by maintaining an average quality of the
investments in the Portfolio of at least AA(3) throughout the year.
Expectations of a restrictive Federal Reserve Bank assisted in putting severe
pressure on interest rates in 1999. During the course of the year, the Fed
tightened rates three times, raising the Federal Funds target to 5.50%. The U.S.
bond market experienced a significant trade off in 1999. Most investment grade
bond sectors experienced negative returns for the year. The yield on the
ten-year U.S. Treasury note increased 179 basis points (1.79%).
PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
The Portfolio continued to maintain a concentration in lower quality investment
grade corporate bonds. This asset allocation worked well as these securities
outperformed in their sector.
The Portfolio increased its allocation to the mortgage-backed sector
significantly during the course of the year. The majority of this asset shift
came from the U.S. Treasury sector. We took these actions because of our belief
that reduced pre-payments in the mortgage-backed sector associated with rising
interest rates, generally result in a strong relative performance versus U.S.
Treasuries.
Our adjustments to the Portfolio during the year added some call risk to the
Portfolio. However, the Portfolio's overall structure continued to be consistent
with our long-term conservative approach to managing the Portfolio. We will
continue to monitor the Portfolio and make the necessary adjustments that our
interest rate forecast dictates.
LOOKING AHEAD
The prospect of a restrictive Federal Reserve Bank should continue to put upward
pressure on U.S. Treasury yields. Lower quality assets should outperform as
investors' risk tolerance increases with fading Y2K, liquidity and supply
concerns. We believe asset allocation trades precipitated by volatility in the
stock market will continue to have a powerful effect on interest rates.

MAINSTAY VP GROWTH EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The U.S. equity market experienced its fifth consecutive year of double-digit
returns in 1999. Strong domestic economic growth and impressive corporate
earnings gains combined with modest inflation to positively influence the
market, sending equity valuations to historically high levels, despite rising
interest rates.
In retrospect, we believe that 1999 will be remembered as a year in which
momentum investing generated superior returns. Investors continued to pay
increasingly higher prices for future earnings growth potential, while virtually
ignoring many relatively cheaper stocks with more predictable earnings trends.
This environment created a favorable backdrop for new equity issues, the
majority of which came from the technology and Internet-related sectors. These
new issues received a good deal of media attention, as investors placed extreme
valuations on a small number of stocks with limited operating history.
Favorable supply/demand dynamics also became a dominant influence in 1999,
benefiting the U.S. equity market overall. Demand was bolstered by the continued
growth of U.S. equity mutual funds and from inflows of foreign money due to the
strength of the U.S. dollar. At the same time, supply contracted with a level of
merger and acquisition activity in 1999 that surpassed the previous year's
record pace.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
For the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, the MainStay VP Growth Equity
Portfolio returned 29.96%. The Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500(R) Index(1)
return of 21.04% for the same period but underperformed the average Lipper(2)
Variable Products Growth Portfolio, which returned 31.47% during the same
period.
Our ability to reposition the Portfolio's blend of value and growth stocks and
shift the Portfolio's style emphasis during the year had a positive impact on
the Portfolio's performance while helping us manage volatility.
STRATEGIC STYLE AND SECTOR ALLOCATION
The Portfolio entered 1999 with a strong growth bias. Early in March, however,
we began moving into some value-oriented stocks, as corporate earnings started
to come in ahead of expectations. The market maintained its value bias through
mid-June, when growth stocks, led by technology issues, reestablished their
market leadership. We moved the Portfolio's holdings back toward more
growth-oriented equities as soon as it became apparent that the market's move
into traditional value stocks was going to be short-lived, despite continued
strong earnings growth. Although value stocks have historically outperformed
when earnings are accelerating, we believed that the underlying growth trend in
the technology sector would enable that group to outpace traditional value
stocks in this cycle.
Given this view, we moderately overweighted the Portfolio in technology, the
market's best performing sector, through most of the year. Although Internet
stocks gathered most of the headlines in 1999, the Portfolio profited by
investing primarily in Internet-infrastructure companies, enabling the growth of
this medium. We also added to the Portfolio's positions in the semiconductor
industry, where we saw favorable supply/demand dynamics that we believe may
remain in place throughout the year 2000.
One of the Portfolio's best-performing holdings was Nortel Networks (+304%), a
telecommunications equipment manufacturer that benefited from its ability to
offer integrated network solutions spanning data and telephony. Another strong
performer for the Portfolio was Sun Microsystems (+261%), a leading network
integration company that has been a major beneficiary of the ongoing growth in
servers. Texas Instruments (+126%) is a leading semiconductor manufacturer that
capitalized on the growth in digitalization. Finally, two companies that we
highlighted last year, EMC (+157%), the dominant provider of memory storage for
computers, and Cisco Systems (+130%), the preeminent provider of networking and
communications equipment, were once again among the Portfolio's strongest
performers in 1999.
The Portfolio's most significant purchase during the year was Cendant, a
franchiser and direct marketer. We bought the stock based upon the company's
attractive relative valuation and our expectation that the company's
well-publicized shareholder lawsuit would be favorably resolved. The Portfolio
was rewarded with a 34% return from the stock, as the lawsuit ended positively
for the company and Liberty Media made a $400 million investment in Cendant.
Perhaps the worst performers in the Portfolio were Kroger and Safeway, two of
the nation's largest supermarket operators, which suffered as investors turned
their attention to faster-growing industries. We sold the Portfolio's position
in Safeway in November. We continue to hold Kroger, believing that the market
has undervalued its future earnings growth potential. Impacted by rising
interest rates, Freddie Mac, the government sponsored mortgage provider, was
another poor performer, despite strong earnings performance. Our most
significant sale of
51
<PAGE> 52
the year was Iridium World Communications, a satellite phone provider. Having
sold the position in February at about $25 per share, the prudence of our action
was proven when the company filed for bankruptcy later in 1999, rendering its
stock virtually worthless.
LOOKING AHEAD
We maintain a positive outlook for the year 2000. At the same time, however, we
believe that U.S. equity market performance will likely be more moderate than in
the last few years. First, although inflation at the consumer level has remained
modest throughout the current economic expansion, any Federal Reserve action may
impact the market. Second, while we continue to believe in the role of
technology and the Internet over the long term, we are concerned about the
valuation parameters attached to many of these stocks. Eventually, these
companies will have to be evaluated for their real earnings and profitability
and not solely on potential revenue growth. We intend to seek companies that are
early adapters of technology in all sectors, as we believe they will be the
greatest beneficiaries of the information revolution. We also plan to remain
attentive to valuations as we search for attractive growth stocks trading at
discounts to their true potential. No matter where the markets may move, the
Portfolio will continue to seek long-term growth of capital, with income as a
secondary consideration.

MAINSTAY VP INDEXED EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In 1999, the S&P 500(R) Index(1) appreciated more than 20% for a record fifth
consecutive year. Once again, large-capitalization growth-oriented stocks
outperformed their value counterparts during most of the year.
The S&P 500(R) Index was bolstered by a fourth-quarter rally driven by the
technology sector. In fact, the real division in the market during 1999 was not
based on investment style but rather whether stocks were tied to the "new
economy" with close relations to technology. For example, technology stocks such
as QUALCOMM, Sprint PCS, and Nextel Communications at least tripled in value,
while traditional blue chip bellweathers such as Coca-Cola, Gillette, Ford
Motor, and Merck each posted losses for the year. Interestingly, the number of
S&P 500(R) Index stocks that declined in value in 1999 exceeded the number that
appreciated, rendering performance in the U.S. stock market very narrow indeed.
Two other factors that impacted the market in 1999 were tame inflation and
strong corporate earnings, which combined to create an aptly named "Goldilocks"
economy. In this environment, the stock market became rather reactive to the
actions of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve's three interest rate
cuts in the fall of 1998 set the stage for the market's strong performance in
the first half of 1999. By late spring, however, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan
Greenspan began expressing concern that economic growth was perhaps too strong
and that inflationary pressures may not be far behind. Seeking to keep inflation
in check, the Federal Reserve raised the targeted federal funds rate by 0.25%
once on June 30 and again on August 24, 1999. The stock market quickly gave back
some of its gains from the prior six months. The trend again reversed itself in
October with the release of lower-than-expected Consumer Price Index(2) and
Gross Domestic Product statistics. With the threat of inflationary pressure
apparently diminishing, even a third Federal Reserve tightening on November 16,
1999, couldn't prevent the market from surging almost 15% in the final three
months of the year.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, the MainStay VP Indexed Equity
Portfolio returned 20.70%. For the same period, the Portfolio slightly
outperformed the average Lipper(3) Variable Products S&P 500(R) Index Objective
Portfolio, which returned 20.48%, and slightly underperformed the S&P 500(R)
Index, which returned 21.04%. Investors should anticipate a slight lag, since
the Portfolio incurs real-world expenses that a hypothetical investment in an
index does not.
KEY SECTORS AND SECURITIES
Technology dominated S&P 500(R) Index performance by virtually any measure.
Within the technology sector, the highest returns came from electronic
instruments, communications equipment, semiconductors, and computer software.
QUALCOMM, a high-speed communications equipment provider, topped the list of
high flyers in 1999, up more than 2,600% over the course of the year. Still,
QUALCOMM added just 0.68% to the S&P 500(R) Index return, since it first joined
the Index in July 1999. Three other communications-related companies were among
the Index's top-performing stocks: Sprint PCS (+343.24%), Nextel Communications
(+336.51%), and Nortel Networks (+304.00%). A chip maker, LSI Logic (+318.60%),
rounded out the top five. The metals industry, in the midst of rapid
consolidation, also did well in 1999, especially aluminum and miscellaneous
metals. Based on their Index weightings, the individual securities with the
greatest impact on the S&P 500's performance included Microsoft (+68.36%), Cisco
Systems (+130.84%), General Electric (+51.72%), Wal-Mart Stores (+69.76%), and
Oracle (+289.78%).
At the other end of the spectrum, pollution control, a rather small S&P 500(R)
Index component, was the worst-performing sector in 1999, with a loss of 55.67%.
Tobacco, down 54.24%, suffered from ongoing litigation and the threat of new
taxes. Philip Morris, in particular, was one of the Index's worst performers,
returning -57.01%. Makers of office equipment (-50.87%), operators of retail
stores (-42.12%), and food distributors (-40.77%), also performed poorly. Based
on their Index weightings, pharmaceuticals, especially Pfizer (-22.15%) and Eli
Lilly (-25.18%), and regional banks, particularly First Union (-45.84%), had the
greatest negative impact on the performance of the Index and the Portfolio. The
hardest-hit individual stocks, due primarily to missed earnings, were Service
Corp. International (-81.77%), Rite Aid (-77.64%), McKesson HBOC (-71.54%), and
HEALTHSOUTH (-65.18%).
The composition of the S&P 500(R) Index itself remained relatively constant
through the first six months of 1999, with just a few changes resulting from
merger and acquisition activity. As a result of market appreciation, however,
the characteristics of the Index changed considerably during the second half of
the year. As of December 31, 1999, technology represented more than 25% of the
Index, a larger weighting than at any point in
53
<PAGE> 54
the past, paralleling the increasing importance of technology within the global
economy. The Index was also more concentrated in large-capitalization names than
it was a year ago.
LOOKING AHEAD
The extraordinary performance of U.S. stocks these past several years has left
the market at valuation levels never before seen, especially when measured using
such traditional yardsticks as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. Some
critics view the high valuations like past bubbles that formed and later burst
in real estate, biotechnology stocks and Japanese equities. To more optimistic
investors, the market has just begun to enter a new era in which technology has
rendered traditional valuation measures obsolete.
Of course, as index investors, we do not evaluate or respond to changing
economic and market conditions or concern ourselves with market psychology.
Whatever the markets or the economy may bring, the Portfolio will continue to
seek to provide investment results that correspond to the total return
performance (and reflect reinvestment of dividends) of publicly traded common
stocks represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index(R).

AMERICAN CENTURY INCOME & GROWTH PORTFOLIO(1)
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the American Century Income & Growth
Portfolio had a return of 17.59%, lagging the 21.04% return for its benchmark,
the S&P 500(R) Index(2), while outdistancing the 9.78% return of the average
Lipper(3) Variable Products Equity Income Portfolio.
The Portfolio gained 13.85% in the fourth quarter of 1999, lagging the 14.88%
return of the S&P 500(R) Index. For the same period, the Portfolio outperformed
the 6.88% return of the average Lipper Variable Products Equity Income
Portfolio, ranking the Portfolio in the top quartile of its peers.
For most of the year, growth stocks continued to soundly beat value stocks and
led the way to market highs. Overall mid- and small-cap growth stocks
outperformed large-cap growth for the year while large-cap value stocks
outperformed mid-cap value, which outperformed small-cap value for the year.
The Portfolio has always incorporated both growth and value measures in its
stock selection, as it seeks consistent long-term performance. In such a
bifurcated market, where growth and value have had such wide performance
margins, the Portfolio's exposure to growth aspects of the market has benefited
the Portfolio. Such performance is reflected in the top contributing sectors and
industries to Portfolio performance for the year.
Stock selection among shares in the technology sector boosted absolute Portfolio
performance for the year. The Portfolio's technology weighting was similar to
that of the S&P 500(R) Index. The other top contributors to performance by
sector were stocks in the telecommunication and financial sectors. Stocks in the
electrical equipment industry contributed the most to annual return followed by
computer software, computer hardware, and semiconductors.
While most technology and technology-oriented sectors surged in 1999, the
financial sector overall performed reasonably well based on prospects for global
recovery and agreement in Congress on the financial services industry reform
legislation.
An electrical equipment company that develops and manufactures communications
technologies and products added value for the year. The company that developed a
dominant wireless phone technology, known as CDMA, climbed in price 25-fold for
the year, a sign of investor optimism about growth in wireless phone usage.
Broadly, stocks from the consumer (non-cyclical), utility, and healthcare
sectors, such as those from the food & beverage, property and casualty, and
electrical utility industries, detracted most from annual performance.
As technology stocks set record returns in the year, stocks in the bank and food
& beverage industries were virtually shunned by investors. Rising interest rates
and pressure on credit card earnings put pressure on the bank group as a whole.
The defensive nature of the food group combined with the historically slower
growth of the industry caused this industry to be a source of funds as investors
fueled the tech stock rally. In addition, rising interest rates hurt utility
stocks and warm temperatures continued to pressure the gas and electric utility
stocks. Only utility stocks having key telecom assets held their own.
In retrospect, the gap in annual return of the Portfolio versus the S&P 500(R)
Index can be explained by the events of the first quarter 1999. In the first
quarter, the main reason for the Portfolio's underperformance, compared with the
S&P 500(R) Index, was the dominant performance of a small group of high
multiple, large-cap growth stocks, many of which are heavily represented in the
S&P 500(R) Index. The Portfolio's smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks were a
drag on performance relative to the S&P 500(R) Index for the first quarter.
Entering the second quarter of 1999, conclusions drawn from ongoing research
efforts resulted in a tightening of sector and industry weightings and an
emphasis on individual stock selection within the Portfolio. The investment team
intends to continue the industry-neutral approach, using the disciplined stock
selection process to identify the most attractive stocks within each industry.
The Portfolio's investment process is made up of two primary steps. The first is
stock valuation and ranking (return generation), and the second is portfolio
construction (including risk control). Other important steps include stock
analysis by the investment team, portfolio optimization, and trading. The
portfolio managers are involved throughout the whole investment process.

DREYFUS LARGE COMPANY VALUE PORTFOLIO(1)
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
During the year ended December 31, 1999, mega-cap growth stocks dominated the
stock market, that small handful of the largest companies generally selling at
extremely high levels of valuation by almost any historic standard. Value stocks
enjoyed only a brief period in the sun during mid-April. For the year, value
stocks significantly underperformed growth stocks. The Dreyfus Large Company
Value Portfolio normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity
securities of large capitalization domestic and foreign issuers which are
characterized as "value" companies. Given that the Portfolio is managed in a
disciplined value style and that growth stocks dominated stock market
performance during this annual period, the Portfolio significantly
underperformed the S&P 500(R) Index(2).
The broad based index for the Portfolio changed about mid-year from the Wilshire
Large Company Value Index(3) to the Russell 1000(R) Value Index(4)*. For the
twelve month period ended December 31, 1999, the Portfolio returned 6.73%
compared to 7.35% for the Russell 1000(R) Value Index, its current broad based
index, and 1.71% for the Wilshire Large Company Value Index.
While value stocks underperformed for the year, we believe that investment
conditions may be favorable for value stock outperformance going forward. The
valuation differences between growth stocks and value stocks are at historic
extremes. Timing, however, is always uncertain. Outperformance might occur as it
did in April of 1999, manifested by a sudden and severe move into value priced
securities, or it could change gradually.
We see value in all economic sectors of the stock market, and continue to manage
the Portfolio in a disciplined value style.

EAGLE ASSET MANAGEMENT GROWTH EQUITY PORTFOLIO(1)
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
We are pleased to report that 1999 was a phenomenal year for the Eagle Asset
Management Growth Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), with the Portfolio
returning 65.50% versus a return of 21.04% for the S&P 500(R)(2).
The biggest positive contribution to the Portfolio's performance was our
decision early in the year to reduce the Portfolio's overall exposure to retail
and financial services stocks and to add to the Portfolio's overall technology
and health care weightings. We cut our exposure in retail and financial services
from a combined 50% to approximately 10% of the Portfolio, because we felt that
advances in e-commerce were putting pressure on the margins of many of the
traditional "brick-n-mortar" retail and financial services companies.
We channeled the proceeds from such sales primarily into technology and health
care stocks as we increased the combined weighting of these two sectors from 35%
to 50% of the Portfolio. We remain very optimistic about the near term and
longer term fundamentals for technology and telecommunications stocks, as they
continue to excel in anticipation of the ongoing build out of the Internet and
the telecom wireless infrastructure. We are also very optimistic about the
long-term prospects for the health care sector, which should continue to benefit
from the aging of the Baby Boom Generation and their increasing health care
needs.
The first quarter of 1999 was excellent for both the U.S. equity markets and the
Portfolio, both benefiting from the push toward technology and Internet stocks.
The Portfolio was up 10.72% for the quarter, while the S&P 500(R) was up 4.99%.
Some of the Portfolio's best performing stocks for the quarter included
technology shares such as Microsoft, EMC and Dell Computer. Certain financial
stocks such as Citigroup and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter also performed extremely
well. The underperformers included health care giant Bristol-Myers Squibb and
mortgage-backers Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
The Portfolio had a decent second quarter despite the market leadership's
apparent rotation out of large-cap growth names and into large-cap value names
as a worldwide economic rebound led to fears of rising inflation and interest
rates. As a result, large-cap growth stocks with higher price/earnings ratios
were hit particularly hard, correcting nearly 15% during a three-week period in
April. While this change in leadership hindered the Portfolio's performance
early in the quarter, we used the pull back as an opportunity to add to some of
our favorite names, including Cisco Systems, America Online and Texas
Instruments in technology; Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Medtronic in health
care; and Charles Schwab and First Data in financial services. The Portfolio was
up 3.38% for the second quarter, while the S&P 500(R) was up 7.06% for the same
time period.
While a roll over in market leadership was experienced in the second quarter,
the tides turned again and large-cap growth and technology stocks reasserted
their market leadership in the third quarter. Although the Portfolio experienced
a 0.26% dip during the third quarter, it outperformed the S&P 500(R) by more
than 5%. Much of the Portfolio's positive performance was the result of
technology gains as Dell Computer, Cisco Systems and National Semiconductor all
had strong quarters. The financial services, pharmaceutical and consumer non-
durable sectors were responsible for much of the Portfolio's negative
performance during the third quarter.
The fourth quarter was the strongest quarter yet experienced by the Portfolio as
it returned 44.97% for the quarter versus 14.88% for the S&P 500(R). Technology
and telecom stocks again led the way, but major positive contributions also came
from the Portfolio's consumer discretionary and financial services holdings.
In the technology sector, Portfolio holdings such as Candence Design Systems,
Cisco Systems, and Microsoft provided strong positive contributions. Consumer
discretionary names such as retailers Home Depot and Wal-Mart Stores,
advertising company Omnicom Group and media company Time Warner also excelled
during the quarter. Financial services holdings Citigroup, American
International Group and American Express -- all of which have significant
overseas operations -- rebounded from lows experienced earlier in the year and
took advantage of the worldwide economic turnaround that began to accelerate at
the end of the year.
One of the worst performing sectors in the Portfolio for the fourth quarter was
health care. A number of companies in this sector have been depressed due to
uncertainty over the Medicare reimbursement issue. Blue chip companies such as
Guidant, Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb all had a negative impact on the
Portfolio. One bright spot amid the weakness in the health care sector was
Johnson & Johnson.
In 1999, investors' sentiment shifted from worrying about the potential effects
of deflation caused by a global economic meltdown to a focus on inflation. The
U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times in 1999 when it appeared
that the U.S. economy might overheat due to its torrid pace of growth. We do not
believe that inflation will be a major factor in the U.S. economy in the year
2000 as there is still excess manufacturing capacity worldwide and the Internet
continues to exert downward pressure on prices. Although short-term issues
59
<PAGE> 60
may create a choppy market, we remain bullish on the intermediate and
longer-term fundamentals. Thus, we believe the year 2000 will be another year of
the "stock picker" and may benefit the world class, multinational companies that
comprise the Portfolio.

GLOSSARY
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES: Securities backed by loan paper, receivables, or an
anticipated income stream from the sale of merchandise or services. The
securities are generally originated by banks, credit card companies, or other
providers of credit and often "enhanced" by a bank letter of credit or by
insurance from an institution other than the issuer.
BASIS POINT: One hundredth of one percent in the yield of an investment, i.e.,
100 basis points equals 1%.
BOTTOM-UP INVESTING: Security selection based on the specific portfolio
fundamental merits of individual issues. The opposite of "top-down" investing,
which starts with general economic trends, compares market sectors, and uses
relative security values to narrow the range of issues to examine.
BULL MARKET/BEAR MARKET: A bull market occurs when security prices are rising;
a bear market occurs when security prices decline. A bullish attitude therefore
suggests a positive outlook, while a bearish attitude represents a negative view
of the market or the opportunities it may present.
CALL OPTION: A security that gives its holder the right, but not the
obligation, to buy 100 shares of common stock at a fixed price (the option's
strike price) for a fixed period of time.
CALL RISK: A bondholder's risk that the bond may be redeemed by the issuer
prior to maturity.
CAPITALIZATION: The amount of outstanding equity and debt a company has issued.
Companies may vary greatly in the amount of equity capital they have raised, and
their capitalization may change with new issues or stock repurchases.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: Short-term obligations with maturities ranging from 2 to 270
days issued by banks, corporations, and other borrowers to investors with
temporarily idle cash. Such instruments are unsecured and usually discounted,
although some are interest-bearing. They can be issued directly -- direct
issuers do it that way -- or through brokers equipped to handle the enormous
clerical volume involved. Issuers like commercial paper because the maturities
are flexible and because the rates are usually marginally lower than bank rates.
Investors -- actually lenders, since commercial paper is a form of debt -- like
the flexibility and safety of an instrument that is issued only by top-rated
concerns and is nearly always backed by bank lines of credit. Both Moody's and
Standard & Poor's assign ratings to commercial paper.
COMMODITIES: Bulk goods, such as grains, precious metals, industrial metals,
and foods traded on a commodities exchange.
CREDIT RISK: The risk that the issuer of a security may go into bankruptcy or
default on payments, causing the investor to lose all or part of the investment.
CYCLICALS (CYCLICAL STOCK): A security or stock that tends to rise quickly with
economic upturns and fall quickly when the economy slows. Noncyclical
industries, such as food, insurance, and pharmaceuticals, are likely to have
more consistent performance regardless of economic changes.
DURATION: A measure of price sensitivity, which adjusts for the time value of
the payments investors will receive and which takes into account interest
payments as well as principal payments. Duration is a better gauge of
interest-rate sensitivity than average maturity alone.
EARNINGS PER SHARE: The portion of a company's profit allocated to each share
of outstanding common stock.
EMERGING MARKETS: Countries with smaller or more recently established capital
markets.
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD: The seven member governing board of the Federal Reserve
System, which is the central bank of the United States. The Board sets policies
on reserve requirements, bank regulations, sets the discount rate, tightens or
loosens the availability of credit in the economy and regulates the purchase of
securities on margin.
FIRST-TIER/SECOND-TIER: Money market instruments in the highest rating category
by two or more major rating agencies are called first-tier or top-tier
securities, while securities in the second-highest rating category by two or
more major rating agencies are referred to as second-tier securities.
FLOATING RATE NOTE: Debt instrument with a variable interest rate. Interest
adjustments are made periodically, often every six months, and are tied to a
money-market index such as Treasury bill rates. Floating rate notes usually have
a maturity of about five years. They provide holders with protection against
rises in interest rates, but pay lower yields than fixed rate notes of the same
maturity. Also known as a FLOATER.
61
<PAGE> 62
GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP): The total value of goods and services produced in
the U.S. economy over a particular period of time, usually one year. The GDP
growth rate measures strictly domestic output and is a primary indicator of the
status of the economy.
GROWTH VERSUS VALUE: Growth investments typically include stocks with rising
prices and positive earnings trends. Value investments typically include
equities that are currently trading below their fair market value, even if they
have the potential to increase in value over time.
HIGH MULTIPLE ISSUES: Represent the highest price-to-earnings companies in the
market. They are considered expensive relative to their earnings.
INFLATION/DEFLATION: Inflation is an increase in the cost of goods and services
over time. As prices rise, the purchasing power of the dollar declines.
Deflation is a reduction in the cost of goods over time. When deflation occurs,
the purchasing power of the dollar increases.
LEVERAGED DERIVATIVES: Financial instrument whose value is based on another
security, such as an option, and whose purchase has been financed with credit.
LIQUIDITY: Securities are said to be liquid when they can be easily bought or
sold in large volume without substantially affecting their price. Some
securities, such as private placements or stocks that have few shares
outstanding are considered illiquid either because there are few market
participants interested in buying or selling the securities or because purchases
and sales may cause wide price swings.
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: A merger is a combination of two companies. An
acquisition is the purchase of a company, division, or business unit. Companies
that engage in mergers and acquisitions often pay shareholders a premium, or an
amount over the current share price, to complete the transaction quickly and
under favorable terms.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES: Securities representing interests in "pools" of
mortgages in which principal and interest payments by the holders of underlying
fixed- or adjustable-rate mortgages are, in effect, "passed through" to
investors (net of fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities).
PREPAYMENT: When mortgage or loan holders repay their obligations before they
mature, shortening the stream of interest payments investors receive.
PRICE-TO-BOOK VALUE RATIO: Comparison of a company's market price per share and
its book value per share to determine how much above its "real" value the
company is selling.
PRICE-TO-EARNINGS RATIO: The price of a stock divided by its earnings per
share.
PUT OPTION: A security that gives its holder the right to sell 100 shares of
common stock at a fixed price for a fixed period of time.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT): A publicly traded company that purchases
and manages a portfolio of real estate properties for the benefit of
shareholders.
RESTRUCTURING: Any action designed to improve the overall financial structure,
labor relations, or productivity of a company. Restructuring may include such
steps as changing management, investing in new plant and equipment, engaging in
mergers and acquisitions, or taking other action to increase output or lower
costs.
SPIN-OFF: A form of corporate divestiture that results in a subsidiary or
division becoming an independent company.
SPLIT ISSUES (SPLIT-RATED ISSUES): Securities rated top tier by one credit
rating agency and second tier by another.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND: In the bond market, supply is influenced by the amount of
new securities issued and the amount of bonds investors wish to sell. Demand
reflects the amount of bonds investors wish to buy, which may decrease when
other markets offer greater opportunities.
In the stock market, an oversupply of a product or service can reduce demand and
lower stock prices. When demand increases relative to supply, stock prices may
recover.
TIGHTEN/EASE: When the Federal Reserve Board moves to raise interest rates, it
is said to be "tightening" or making borrowing more expensive. When it moves to
lower rates, it is said to be "easing" or making borrowing more affordable.
62
<PAGE> 63
TOTAL RETURN: The performance of an investment with all income and capital
gains reinvested.
VOLATILITY: Fluctuations in the price of securities or markets, up or down,
over a short period of time.
WEIGHTING: The proportion of a portfolio allocated to a specific security,
market sector or country, i.e., a portfolio is said to be overweighted in a
sector or country when that portion of the portfolio is greater than the
sector's general relationship to the market as a whole or the country's total
equities relative to the international equity markets as a whole.
YIELD: The income per share (or current value of a security) paid to investors
over a specified period of time as a percentage of the cost of the security.
Mutual fund yields are expressed as a percentage of the fund's current price per
share.
YIELD CURVE: When interest rates available from various short-, intermediate-,
and long-term securities are plotted on a graph, the resulting line is known as
a yield curve.
YIELD SPREAD: The difference in yield between securities in different market
sectors, such as government and mortgage-backed securities -- or between
different securities in a single sector, such as 2- and 30-year Treasuries or
PRIME-1 and PRIME-2 rated commercial paper.
Y2K: A reference to the Year 2000.

MAINSTAY VP SERIES FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-- Organization and Business:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated under Maryland law
on June 3, 1983. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, ("Investment Company Act") as an open-end diversified
management investment company. American Century Income & Growth, Dreyfus Large
Company Value and Eagle Asset Management Growth Equity Portfolios, which
commenced operations on May 1, 1998, Convertible Portfolio, which commenced
operations on October 1, 1996, High Yield Corporate Bond, International Equity
and Value Portfolios, which commenced operations on May 1, 1995, Capital
Appreciation, Cash Management, Government, Total Return and Indexed Equity
Portfolios, which commenced operations on January 29, 1993 and Bond and Growth
Equity Portfolios, which commenced operations on January 23, 1984, (the
"Portfolios"; each separately a "Portfolio") are separate Portfolios of the
Fund. Shares of the Portfolios are currently offered only to New York Life
Insurance and Annuity Corporation ("NYLIAC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of New
York Life Insurance Company ("New York Life"). NYLIAC allocates shares of the
Portfolios to, among others, NYLIAC Corporate Sponsored Variable Universal Life
Separate Account-I (the "Separate Account"). The Separate Account is used to
fund flexible premium corporate sponsored variable life insurance policies.
The investment objectives for each of the Portfolios of the Fund are as follows:
Capital Appreciation: to seek long-term growth of capital. Dividend income, if
any, is an incidental consideration.
Cash Management: to seek as high a level of current income as is considered
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
Convertible: to seek capital appreciation together with current income.
Government: to seek a high level of current income, consistent with safety of
principal.
High Yield Corporate Bond: to maximize current income through investment in a
diversified portfolio of high yield, high risk debt securities which are
ordinarily in the lower rating categories of recognized rating agencies (that
is, rated Baa to B by Moody's or BBB to B by S&P). Capital appreciation is a
secondary objective.
International Equity: to seek long-term growth of capital by investing in a
portfolio consisting primarily of non-U.S. equity securities. Current income is
a secondary objective.
Total Return: to realize current income consistent with reasonable opportunity
for future growth of capital and income.
Value: to realize maximum long-term total return from a combination of capital
growth and income.
Bond: to seek the highest income over the long term consistent with
preservation of principal.
Growth Equity: to seek long-term growth of capital, with income as a secondary
consideration.
Indexed Equity: to seek to provide investment results that correspond to the
total return performance (and reflect reinvestment of dividends) of publicly
traded common stocks represented by the S&P 500 Index.
American Century Income & Growth: to seek dividend growth, current income and
capital appreciation.
Dreyfus Large Company Value: to seek capital appreciation.
Eagle Asset Management Growth Equity: to seek growth through long-term capital
appreciation.
High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio invests primarily in high yield bonds. These
bonds may involve special risks in addition to the risks associated with
investment in higher rated debt securities. High yield bonds may be more
susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry
conditions than higher grade bonds. Also, the secondary market on which high
yield bonds are traded may be less liquid than the market for higher grade
bonds.
151
<PAGE> 152
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are in
addition to the usual risks inherent in domestic instruments. These risks
include those resulting from future adverse political and economic developments
and possible imposition of currency exchange blockages or other foreign
governmental laws or restrictions.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2--Significant Accounting Policies:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund:
(A)
VALUATION OF FUND SHARES. The net asset value per share of each Portfolio is
calculated on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for
trading as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange. The net asset value
per share is calculated for each Portfolio by dividing the current market value
(amortized cost, in the case of Cash Management Portfolio) of the Portfolio's
total assets, less liabilities, by the total number of outstanding shares of
that Portfolio. Each Portfolio's net asset value will fluctuate, and although
the Cash Management Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment of
$1.00 per share, an investor could lose money by investing in any Portfolio. An
investment in the Cash Management Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
(B)
SECURITIES VALUATION. Portfolio securities of Cash Management Portfolio are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost
method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and
thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference
between such cost and the value on maturity date.
Securities of each of the other Portfolios are stated at value determined (a) by
appraising common and preferred stocks which are traded on the Exchange at the
last sale price on that day or, if no sale occurs, at the mean between the
closing bid and asked prices, (b) by appraising common and preferred stocks
traded on other United States national securities exchanges or foreign
securities exchanges as nearly as possible in the manner described in (a) by
reference to their principal exchange, including the National Association of
Securities Dealers National Market System, (c) by appraising over-the-counter
securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers NASDAQ
system (but not listed on the National Market System) at the bid price supplied
through such system, (d) by appraising over-the-counter securities not quoted on
the National Association of Securities Dealers NASDAQ system and securities
listed or traded on certain foreign exchanges whose operations are similar to
the U.S. over-the-counter market, at prices supplied by the pricing agent or
brokers selected by the Adviser (see Note 3) if these prices are deemed to be
representative of market values at the regular close of business of the
Exchange, (e) by appraising debt securities at prices supplied by a pricing
agent selected by the Adviser, whose prices reflect broker/dealer supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques if those prices are deemed
by the Adviser to be representative of market values at the regular close of
business of the Exchange, (f) by appraising options and futures contracts at the
last sale price on the market where such options or futures contracts are
principally traded, and (g) by appraising all other securities and other assets,
including debt securities for which prices are supplied by a pricing agent but
are not deemed by the Adviser to be representative of market values, but
excluding money market instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or
less and including restricted securities and securities for which no market
quotations are available, at fair value in accordance with procedures approved
by the Directors. Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are
valued at current market quotations. Short-term securities which mature in 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost if their term to maturity at purchase
was 60 days or less, or by amortizing the difference between market value on the
61st day prior to maturity and value on maturity date if their original term to
maturity at purchase exceeded 60 days.
Events affecting the values of certain portfolio securities that occur between
the close of trading on the principal market for such securities (foreign
exchanges and over-the-counter markets) and the regular close of the Exchange
will not be reflected
152
<PAGE> 153
MAINSTAY VP SERIES FUND, INC.
in the Portfolios' calculations of net asset values unless the Adviser believes
that the particular event would materially affect net asset value, in which case
an adjustment would be made.
(C)
FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS. A foreign currency forward contract is an
agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified future
date at a specified rate. During the period the forward contract is open,
changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or
losses by "marking to market" such contract on a daily basis to reflect the
market value of the contract at the end of each day's trading. When the forward
contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and
the Portfolio's basis in the contract. The High Yield Corporate Bond,
International Equity and Value Portfolios enter into foreign currency forward
contracts in order to hedge their foreign currency denominated investments and
receivables and payables against adverse movements in future foreign exchange
rates.
The use of foreign currency forward contracts involves, to varying degrees,
elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of
assets and liabilities. The contract amount reflects the extent of the
Portfolio's involvement in these financial instruments. Risks arise from the
possible movements in the foreign exchange rates underlying these instruments.
The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward contracts reflects the
Portfolio's exposure at year-end to credit loss in the event of a counterparty's
failure to perform its obligations.

FUTURES CONTRACTS. A futures contract is an agreement to purchase or sell a
specified quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date and
price, or to make or receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities
index. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of
the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market"
such contract on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at
the end of each day's trading. The Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to
the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the
contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin". When the
futures contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal
to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction
and the Portfolio's basis in the contract. The Indexed Equity and American
Century Income & Growth Portfolios invest in stock index futures contracts to
gain full exposure to changes in stock market prices to fulfill their investment
objectives.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and
liabilities. The contract or notional amounts and variation margin reflect the
extent of the Portfolio's involvement in open futures positions. Risks arise
from the possible imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures
contracts and the underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. However, the Portfolio's
activities in futures contracts are conducted through regulated exchanges which
minimize counterparty credit risks.

(E)
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. At the time a Portfolio enters into a repurchase
agreement, the value of the underlying security, including accrued interest,
will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement and, in the
case of repurchase agreements exceeding one day, the value of the underlying
security, including accrued interest, is required during the term of the
agreement to be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. The
underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in a segregated
account of the respective Portfolio's custodian. In the case of repurchase
agreements exceeding one day, the market value of the underlying securities are
monitored by the Adviser by pricing them daily.
Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements to earn income. In the event
of the bankruptcy of the seller or the failure of the seller to repurchase the
securities as agreed, a Portfolio could suffer losses, including loss of
interest on or principal of the security and costs associated with delay and
enforcement of the repurchase agreement.
(F)
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME. The Fund records security
transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on security
transactions are determined using the identified cost method and include gains
and losses from repayments of principal on mortgage related and other
asset-backed securities. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date
and interest income is accrued daily except when collection is not expected.
Discounts on securities purchased for all Portfolios are accreted on the
constant yield method over the life of the respective securities or, if
applicable, over the period to the first call date. Premiums on securities
purchased are not amortized for any Portfolio except Cash Management Portfolio
which amortizes the premium on the constant yield method over the life of the
respective securities.
(G)
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The books and records of the Fund are recorded in
U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the
mean between the buying and selling rates last quoted by any major U.S. bank at
the following dates:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and
liabilities--at the valuation date,
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and
expenses--at the date of such transactions.
The assets and liabilities of Convertible, High Yield Corporate Bond and
International Equity Portfolios are presented at the exchange rates and market
values at the close of the year. The changes in net assets arising from
fluctuations in exchange rates and the changes in net assets resulting from
changes in market prices are not separately presented. However, gains and losses
from certain foreign currency transactions are treated as ordinary income for
Federal income tax purposes.
Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents net gains
and losses on foreign currency forward contracts, net currency gains or losses
realized as a result of differences between the amounts of securities sale
proceeds or purchase cost, dividends, interest and withholding taxes recorded on
the Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually received or
paid. Net currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities, other than investments, at year-end exchange rates are
reflected in unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses).

MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLLS. Certain of the Portfolios may enter into mortgage dollar
roll ("MDR") transactions in which they sell mortgage backed securities ("MBS")
from their portfolio to a counterparty from whom they simultaneously agree to
buy a similar security on a delayed delivery basis. The MDR transactions of the
Portfolios are classified as purchase and sale transactions. The securities sold
in connection with the MDRs are removed from the portfolio and a realized gain
or loss is recognized. The securities the Portfolios have agreed to acquire are
included at market value in the portfolio of investments and liabilities for
such purchase commitments are included as payables for investments purchased.
The Portfolios maintain a segregated account with the custodian containing
securities from the respective portfolios having a value not less than the
repurchase price, including accrued interest. MDR transactions involve certain
risks, including the risk that the MBS returned to the Portfolios at the end of
the roll, while substantially similar, could be inferior to what was initially
sold to the counterparty.
(I)
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. A restricted security is a security which has been
purchased through a private offering and cannot be resold to the general public
without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale
at an acceptable price may be difficult. The issuers of the securities will bear
the costs involved in registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and in
connection with the disposition of such securities. The High Yield Corporate
Bond and Total Return Portfolios do not have the right to demand that such
securities be registered.

SECURITIES LENDING. The Portfolios may lend their securities to broker-dealers
and financial institutions. The loans are secured by collateral (cash or
securities) at least equal at all times to the market value of the securities
loaned. The Portfolios may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of
rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities
experience financial difficulty. The Portfolios receive compensation for lending
their securities in the form of fees or they
157
<PAGE> 158
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
retain a portion of interest on the investment of any cash received as
collateral. The Portfolios also continue to receive interest and dividends on
the securities loaned, and any gain or loss in the market price of the
securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the
account of the Portfolios.
At December 31, 1999, Government and Total Return Portfolios had portfolio
securities with a fair market value of $49,242,822 and $80,234,431,
respectively, on loan to broker-dealers and government securities dealers.
Cash collateral received by Government and Total Return Portfolios is invested
in investment grade commercial paper, or other securities in accordance with the
Portfolios securities lending procedures. Such investments are included as an
asset, and the obligation to return the cash collateral is recorded as a
liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. While the Portfolios
invest cash collateral in investment grade securities or other "high quality"
investment vehicles, the Portfolios bear the risk that liability for the
collateral may exceed the value of the investment.
Non-cash collateral received and held by Government and Total Return Portfolios
in the form of U.S. Government obligations, had a value of $6,275,344 and
$345,838, respectively, as of December 31, 1999.
Net income earned on securities lending amounted to $118,687, $181,184 and
$112,983 net of broker fees and rebates, for the Government, Total Return and
Growth Equity Portfolios, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1999,
which is included as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

PURCHASED AND WRITTEN OPTIONS. International Equity Portfolio may write covered
call and put options on its portfolio securities or foreign currencies. Premiums
are received and are recorded as liabilities. The liabilities are subsequently
adjusted to reflect the current value of the options written. Premiums received
from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums
received from writing options which are exercised or are canceled in closing
purchase transactions are added to the proceeds or netted against the amount
paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. By writing a
covered call option, a Portfolio foregoes in exchange for the premium the
opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise price should the market
price of the underlying security or foreign currency increase. By writing a
covered put option, a Portfolio, in exchange for the premium, accepts the risk
of a decline in the market value of the underlying security or foreign currency
below the exercise price.
The Portfolio may purchase call and put options on its portfolio securities or
foreign currencies. The Portfolio may purchase call options to protect against
an increase in the price of the security or foreign currency it anticipates
purchasing. The Portfolio may purchase put options on its securities or foreign
currencies to protect against a decline in the value of the security or foreign
currency or to close out covered written put positions. Risks may arise from an
imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities or
foreign currencies held by the Portfolio and the prices of options relating to
the securities or foreign currencies purchased or sold by the Portfolio and from
the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for an option. The maximum
exposure to loss for any purchased option is limited to the premium initially
paid for the option.
(L)
LOAN PARTICIPATIONS. High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio invests in Loan
Participations. When the Portfolio purchases a Participation, the Portfolio
typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party
selling such Participation ("Selling Participant"), but not with the Borrower.
As a result, the Portfolio assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the Selling
Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Portfolio and the
Borrower ("Intermedi-
160
<PAGE> 161
MAINSTAY VP SERIES FUND, INC.
ate Participants"). The Portfolio may not directly benefit from the collateral
supporting the Senior Loan in which it has purchased the Participation. The
Portfolio may be considered to have a concentration of credit risk in the
banking industry, since the Portfolio will only acquire Participations if the
Selling Participant and each Intermediate Participant is a financial
institution.
(M)
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. Each of the Portfolios is treated as a separate entity for
Federal income tax purposes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of the taxable income to the shareholders of
each Portfolio within the allowable time limits. Therefore, no Federal income
tax provision is required.
Investment income received by a Portfolio from foreign sources may be subject to
foreign income taxes withheld at the source.
(N)
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. For Cash Management Portfolio, dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly. Each of the other Portfolios intends to declare
and pay, as a dividend, substantially all of their net investment income and net
realized gains no less frequently than once a year. Income dividends and capital
gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These "book/tax differences" are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts
are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis
treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and
distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains
for financial reporting purposes but not for Federal tax purposes are reported
as dividends in excess of net investment income or distributions in excess of
net realized capital gains.
The following table discloses the current year reclassifications between
accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and paid-in capital
arising from permanent differences; net assets are not affected.

investment trusts, paydown gain (loss), and net operating losses.

(O)
ORGANIZATION COSTS. Costs incurred in connection with the initial organization
and registration of American Century Income & Growth, Dreyfus Large Company
Value and Eagle Asset Management Growth Equity Portfolios of the Fund are
amortized over a maximum period of 60 months beginning with the commencement of
operations of the respective Portfolios on May 1, 1998. Organization costs for
American Century Income & Growth, Dreyfus Large Company Value and Eagle Asset
Management Growth Equity Portfolios, paid by, and reimbursable to, NYLIAC,
aggregated approximately $64,500. In the event that any of the initial shares
purchased by NYLIAC are redeemed, proceeds of such redemption will be reduced by
the proportionate amount of the unamortized deferred organizational expenses
which the number of shares redeemed bears to the total number of initial shares
purchased.
(P)
EXPENSES. Expenses with respect to the Fund are allocated to the individual
Portfolios in proportion to the net assets of the respective Portfolios when the
expenses are incurred except when direct allocations of expenses can be made.
(Q)
USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Capital Appreciation Portfolio,
Cash Management Portfolio, Convertible Portfolio, Government Portfolio, High
Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Total Return
Portfolio, Value Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, Growth Equity Portfolio, Indexed
Equity Portfolio, American Century Income & Growth Portfolio, Dreyfus Large
Company Value Portfolio and Eagle Asset Management Growth Equity Portfolio
(fourteen of the fifteen portfolios constituting MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc.,
hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 1999, the results of each
of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in each of their net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at December 31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodians and
brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
