PART I--GENERAL POLICY PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a summary that describes the general provisions of the policy.
Certain provisions of the policy described in this prospectus may differ in
a particular state because of specific state requirements.
Throughout the prospectus, Phoenix Life and Annuity Company is referred to
as PLAC, we, us or our and the policyholder is referred to as you or your.
We define the following terms in the Glossary of Appendix A:
ATTAINED AGE POLICY ANNIVERSARY
BENEFICIARY POLICY DATE
DEBT POLICY VALUE
FUNDS POLICY YEAR
GENERAL ACCOUNT SERIES
ISSUE PREMIUM SUBACCOUNTS
MONTHLY CALCULATION DAY TARGET PREMIUM
NET ASSET VALUE VALUATION DATE
PAYMENT DATE VALUATION PERIOD
PLANNED ANNUAL PREMIUM VUL ACCOUNT (ACCOUNT)
If there is ever a difference between the provisions within this prospectus
and the provisions of the policy, the policy provisions will control.
AVAILABILITY
The policy is available on a "case" basis. We may consider one person as a
case. Policies within a case are aggregated for purposes of determining policy
dates, loan rates and underwriting requirements. If an individual owns the
policy as part of a case, he or she may exercise all rights under the policy
through his or her employer or sponsoring organization. After termination of
employment or other such relationship, the individual may exercise such rights
directly with us.
For fully underwritten policies, the age of the insured at the time of issue
generally must be between ages 18 through 85 as of his or her birthday nearest
the policy anniversary.
For policies that are underwritten using simplified or guaranteed issue
programs, generally the maximum age of the insured at the time of issue is age
70 for simplified and 64 for guaranteed issue.
The minimum face amount of insurance per policy issued is $50,000.
You can purchase a policy to insure the life of another person provided that
you have an insurable interest in that life and the prospective Insured
consents.
UNDERWRITING
Currently, we offer 3 types of underwriting:
[diamond] fully underwritten;
[diamond] simplified issue underwriting; and
[diamond] guaranteed issue underwriting.
Your cost of insurance charges will vary based on the type of underwriting
we use.
CHARGES UNDER THE POLICY
We deduct certain charges from your policy to compensate us for:
1. our expenses in selling the policy;
2. underwriting and issuing the policy;
3. premium and federal taxes incurred on premiums received;
4. providing insurance benefits under your policy; and
5. assuming certain risks in connection with the policy.
These charges are summarized in the following chart.

DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
Before we allocate your premium to the Subaccounts or the Guaranteed
Interest Account, we deduct a sales charge, a state premium tax and a federal
tax to cover the estimated cost to us for deferred acquisition costs.
SALES CHARGE
We deduct a sales charge from your premium for the costs we incur in the
sales and distribution of the policies.
STATE PREMIUM TAX CHARGE
States assess premium taxes at various rates. We deduct the applicable state
rate from each premium to cover the cost of the premium taxes assessed against
us by the state.
We may increase or decrease this charge if there is a change in the tax or
change of residence.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COST ("DAC") TAX CHARGE
This tax is associated with our federal income tax liability under Internal
Revenue Code Section 848.
POLICY VALUE CHARGES
On each monthly calculation day, we deduct the following charges from your
policy value:
1. administrative charge
2. cost of insurance charge
3. mortality and expense risk fee
4. a charge for the cost of riders if applicable
The amount deducted is allocated among the Subaccounts and the unloaned
portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account based on an allocation schedule
specified by you. You initially select this schedule in your application.
1. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
We assess a monthly charge for the expenses we incur in administering the
policy. This charge reimburses us for the cost of daily administration of
services such as billing and collections, monthly processing, updating daily
values and communicating with policyholders.
2. COST OF INSURANCE
We deduct a charge to cover the cost of insurance coverage on each monthly
calculation day. This charge is based on:
[diamond] Insured's gender;
[diamond] Insured's age at issue;
[diamond] policy year in which we make the deduction;
[diamond] Insured's tobacco use classification;
[diamond] rating class of the policy; and
[diamond] underwriting classification of the case.
To determine the monthly cost of insurance, we multiply the appropriate cost
of insurance rate by the difference between your policy's death benefit and the
policy value. Any change in the cost of insurance rates will apply to all
persons of the same sex, insurance age and risk class whose policies have been
in force for the same length of time.
3. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We charge the Subaccounts for the mortality and expense risks we assume.
This charge is deducted from the value of each Subaccount's assets attributable
to the policies.
The mortality risk we assume is that the group of lives we insure under our
policies may, on average, live for a shorter period of time than we estimated.
The expense risk we assume is that our cost of issuing and administering the
policies may be more than we estimated.
If all the money we collect from this charge is not required to cover the
cost of death benefits and other expenses, it will be a gain to us. If the money
we collect is not enough to cover our costs, we will still provide for death
benefits and expenses.
4. RIDER CHARGE
We will deduct any applicable monthly rider charges for the additional
benefit provided to you by the rider.
CHARGES FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
We currently do not charge the VUL Account for federal income taxes
attributable to it. In the future, we may charge to cover these taxes or any
other tax liability of the VUL Account.

OTHER CHARGES
PARTIAL SURRENDER FEE
We reserve the right to deduct a charge from each withdrawal.
LOAN INTEREST RATE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct a charge from the loan interest rate. This charge reimburses us
for expenses we incur in administering your loan. This rate varies by policy
year.
REDUCTION IN CHARGES
The policy is available for purchase by individuals, corporations and other
groups. For group or sponsored arrangements (including our employees and their
family members) and for special exchange programs that we may make available, we
reserve the right to reduce or eliminate the sales load, mortality and expense
risk charge, monthly administrative charge, monthly cost of insurance charges or
other charges normally assessed on certain multiple life cases where it is
expected that the size or nature of such cases will result in savings of sales,
underwriting, administrative or other costs.
Eligibility for the amount of these reductions will be determined by a
number of factors including:
[diamond] the number of insureds,
[diamond] the total premium expected to be paid,
[diamond] the total assets under management for the policyowner,
[diamond] the nature of the relationship among individual insureds,
[diamond] the purpose for which the policies are being purchased,
and other circumstances which in our opinion are rationally related to the
expected reduction in expenses. Any variations in the charge structure will be
determined in a uniform manner reflecting differences in costs of services and
not unfairly discriminatory to policyholders.

PHOENIX LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND
THE VUL ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAC
We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance
Company ("Phoenix"). Our executive office is located at One American Row,
Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5056, and our main administrative office is located
at 100 Bright Meadow Boulevard, Enfield, Connecticut 06083-1900. We are a
Connecticut stock company, formed to write life insurance and annuity contracts.
Formerly, PLAC was Savers Life Insurance Company of America, chartered in
Missouri in 1981. We redomiciled to Connecticut in April, 1997.
THE VUL ACCOUNT
The VUL Account is a separate account of PLAC, established on July 1, 1996
and governed under the laws of Connecticut. It is registered with the SEC as a
unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
meets the definition of a "separate account" under that Act. This registration
does not involve supervision of the management of the VUL Account or PLAC by the
SEC.
The VUL Account is divided into Subaccounts, each of which is available for
allocation of policy value. Each Subaccount will invest solely in shares of a
specific series of a mutual fund. In the future, we may establish additional
Subaccounts which will be made available to existing policyowners to the extent
and on a basis decided by us. See "Investments of the VUL Account--Participating
Investment Funds."
PLAC does not guarantee the investment performance of the VUL Account or any
of its Subaccounts. Contributions to the overall policy value allocated to the
VUL Account depend on the chosen Fund's investment performance. Thus, you bear
the full investment risk for all monies invested in the VUL Account.
The VUL Account is part of the general business of PLAC, but the gains or
losses of the VUL Account belong solely to the VUL Account. The gains or losses
of any other business we may conduct do not affect the VUL Account. Under
Connecticut law, the assets of the VUL Account may not be taken to pay
liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. Nevertheless,
obligations arising under the policy are general corporate obligations of PLAC.
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We may include the performance history of the VUL Account Subaccounts in
advertisements, sales literature or reports. Performance information about each
Subaccount is based on past performance only and is not an indication of future
performance. See "Appendix B" for more information.
INVESTMENTS OF THE VUL ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTICIPATING INVESTMENT FUNDS
THE PHOENIX EDGE SERIES FUND
Certain Subaccounts invest in corresponding series of The Phoenix Edge
Series Fund. The following series are currently available:
PHOENIX-ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL SERIES: The investment objective of the
series is a high total return consistent with reasonable risk. The
Phoenix-Aberdeen International Series invests primarily in an internationally

funds may also be sold to the separate accounts of other insurance companies.
It is possible that in the future there may be no advantage for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the funds simultaneously. Although neither PLAC nor the funds'
trustees currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable life
insurance policyowners or to variable annuity contractowners, the funds'
trustees intend to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts
between variable life insurance policyowners and variable annuity contractowners
and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such
conflicts. Material conflicts could, for example, result from:
12
<PAGE>
[diamond] changes in state insurance laws;
[diamond] changes in federal income tax laws;
[diamond] changes in the investment management of any portfolio of the fund(s);
or
[diamond] differences in voting instructions between those given by variable
life insurance policyowners and those given by variable annuity
contractowners.
We will remedy such material conflicts at our expense including, if
necessary, segregating the assets underlying the variable life insurance
policies and the variable annuity contracts and establishing a new registered
investment company.

SERVICES OF THE ADVISORS
The advisors continually furnish an investment program for each series and
manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each series subject at
all times to the authority and supervision of the trustees of each fund. A
detailed discussion of the investment advisors and subadvisors, and the
investment advisory and subadvisory
13
<PAGE>
agreements, is contained in the accompanying prospectus for the funds.
REINVESTMENT AND REDEMPTION
All dividend distributions of the Fund are automatically reinvested in
shares of the Fund at their net asset value on the date of distribution.
Likewise, all capital gains distributions of the Fund, if any, are reinvested at
the net asset value on the record date. We redeem Fund shares at their net asset
value to the extent necessary to make payments under the policy.
SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions
for the investments held by the VUL Account, subject to compliance with the law
as currently applicable or as subsequently changed. In the future, we may
establish additional Subaccounts within the VUL Account, each of which will
invest in shares of a designated portfolio of the Fund with a specified
investment objective. If and when marketing needs and investment conditions
warrant, and at our discretion, we may establish additional portfolios. These
will be made available under existing policies to the extent and on a basis
determined by us.
If shares of any of the portfolios of the Fund should no longer be available
for investment or, if in the judgment of our management, further investment in
shares of any of the portfolios become inappropriate due to policy objectives,
we may then substitute shares of another mutual fund for shares already
purchased, or to be purchased in the future. No substitution of mutual fund
shares held by the VUL Account may take place without prior approval of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and prior notice to you. In the event of a
change, you will be given the option of transferring the policy value of the
Subaccount in which the substitution is to occur to another Subaccount.
THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
In addition to the VUL Account, you may allocate premium or transfer policy
value to the Guaranteed Interest Account. Amounts you allocate or transfer to
the Guaranteed Interest Account become part of Phoenix Life and Annuity's
general account assets. You do not share in the investment experience of those
assets. Rather, we guarantee a 3% rate of return on your allocated amount. For
amounts transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account from a policy loan, the
guaranteed rate is 2% in all states except New York and New Jersey. In New York
and New Jersey the rate credited to the Guaranteed Interest Account due to a
policy loan is 4%. Although we are not obligated to credit interest at a higher
rate than the minimum, we will credit any excess interest as determined by us
based on expected investment yield information.
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, we have not registered
interests in our general account under the Securities Act of 1933. Also, we have
not registered our general account as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Therefore, neither the general account nor any
of its interests are subject to these Acts, and the Securities and Exchange
Commission has not reviewed the general account disclosures. These disclosures
may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities law
regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made in this prospectus.
We reserve the right to limit total deposits to the Guaranteed Interest
Account, including transfers, to no more than $250,000 during any one-week
period per policy.
In general, you can make only one transfer per year from the Guaranteed
Interest Account. The amount that can be transferred out is limited to the
greater of $1,000 or 25% of the policy value in the Guaranteed Interest Account
as of the date of the transfer. If you elect the Systematic Transfer Program,
approximately equal amounts may be transferred out of the Guaranteed Interest
Account. Also, the total policy value allocated to the Guaranteed Interest
Account may be transferred out to one or more of the Subaccounts over a
consecutive 4-year period according to the following schedule:
[diamond] Year One: 25% of the total value
[diamond] Year Two: 33% of remaining value
[diamond] Year Three: 50% of remaining value
[diamond] Year Four: 100% of remaining value
Transfers into the Guaranteed Interest Account and among the Subaccounts may
be made at any time. Transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Account are subject
to the rules discussed above and in "Transfer of Policy Value" and "Systematic
Transfer for Dollar Cost Averaging."
PREMIUMS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM PREMIUMS
The minimum premium is determined by case size as follows:
[diamond] 5 or more lives: $100,000 annually for the first 5 policy years
[diamond] Fewer than 5 lives: $250,000 annually for the first 5 policy years
The issue premium is due on the policy date. The Insured must be alive when
the issue premium is paid. After that, premiums may be paid at any time while
the policy is in force. Each premium payment must be at least $100. Additional
payments should be sent to the:
VUL COLI UNIT
PO BOX 22012
ALBANY, NY 12201-2012
14
<PAGE>
The number of units credited to a Subaccount will be determined by dividing
the portion of the net premium applied to that Subaccount by the unit value of
the Subaccount on the payment date.
Regardless of whether you choose the Guideline Premium Test or the Cash
Value Accumulation Test (see "Minimum Face Amount"), we reserve the right to
refund a premium paid in any year if it will exceed the maximum premium limit.
The maximum limit is established by law to qualify the policy as life insurance.
This limit is applied to the sum of all premiums paid under the policy. If the
total premium limit is exceeded, the policyowner will receive the excess, with
interest at an annual rate of not less than 4%, not later than 60 days after the
end of the policy year in which the limit was exceeded. The policy value will
then be adjusted to reflect the refund. The total premium limit may be exceeded
if additional premium is needed to prevent lapse or if we subsequently determine
that additional premium would be permitted by federal laws or regulations.
ALLOCATION OF ISSUE PREMIUM
We will allocate the issue premium less applicable charges to the VUL
Account or to the Guaranteed Interest Account upon receipt of a completed
application (in accordance with the allocation instructions in the application
for a policy
FREE LOOK PERIOD
You have the right to review the policy. If you are not satisfied with it,
you may cancel the policy:
[diamond] by mailing it to us within 10 days after you receive it (or longer in
some states);
[diamond] within 10 days after we mail or deliver a written notice telling you
about your Free Look Period; or
[diamond] within 45 days after completing the application, whichever occurs
latest.
We treat a returned policy as if we never issued it and will return the sum
of the following as of the date we receive the returned policy:
(1) the then current policy value less any unpaid loans and loan interest;
plus
(2) any monthly deductions, partial surrender fees and other charges made
under the policy.
We retain the right to decline to process an application within 7 days of
our receipt of the completed application for insurance. If we decline to process
the application, we will return the premium paid. Even if we have approved the
application for processing, we retain the right to decline to issue the policy.
If we decline to issue the policy, we will refund the same amount to you as
would have been refunded under the policy had it been issued but returned for
refund during the Free Look Period.
ACCOUNT VALUE
TRANSFER OF POLICY VALUE
Transfers among available Subaccounts or the Guaranteed Interest Account and
changes in premium payment allocations may be requested in writing. Requests for
transfers will be executed on the date the request is received at Andesa TPA,
Inc.
Although there currently is no charge for transfers, in the future we may
charge a fee of $10 for each transfer after the first 2 transfers in a policy
year (12 transfers in New York).
You may make only one transfer per policy year from the unloaned portion of
the Guaranteed Interest Account unless
(1) the transfer(s) are made as part of a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, or
(2) we agree to make an exception to this rule.
Unless you have elected a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, the amount you may
transfer cannot exceed the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the value of the unloaned
portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account at the time of the transfer. In
addition, you may transfer the total value allocated to the unloaned portion of
the Guaranteed Interest Account out to one or more of the Subaccounts over a
consecutive 4-year period according to the following schedule:
[diamond] Year One: 25% of the total value
[diamond] Year Two: 33% of the remaining value
[diamond] Year Three: 50% of the remaining value
[diamond] Year Four: 100% of the remaining value
Transfers into the Guaranteed Interest Account and among the Subaccounts may
be made anytime. We reserve the right to limit the number of Subaccounts you may
invest in at any one time or over the life of the policy, if we are required to
do so by any federal or state law.
Because excessive exchanges between Subaccounts can deteriorate Fund
performance, we reserve the right to temporarily or even permanently terminate
exchange privileges or reject any specific exchange order from anyone whose
transactions appear to us to follow a timing pattern, including those who
request more than one exchange out of a Subaccount within any 30-day period. We
will not accept batched transfer instructions from registered representatives
(acting under powers of attorney for multiple policyowners), unless the
registered representative's broker-dealer firm and PLAC have entered into a
third-party transfer service agreement.
SYSTEMATIC TRANSFERS FOR DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
You may elect to transfer funds automatically among the Subaccounts or the
unloaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account on a monthly, quarterly,
15
<PAGE>
semiannual or annual basis under the Systematic Transfers for Dollar Cost
Averaging Program ("Dollar Cost Averaging Program"). Under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program, the minimum transfer amounts are
[diamond] $25 monthly,
[diamond] $75 quarterly,
[diamond] $150 semiannually, or
[diamond] $300 annually.
You must have an initial value of $1,000 in the Guaranteed Interest Account
or the Subaccount from which funds will be transferred ("Sending Subaccount").
If the value in that Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account drops below
the amount to be transferred, the entire remaining balance will be transferred
and all systematic transfers stop. Funds may be transferred from only one
Sending Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account, but may be allocated to
more than one Subaccount ("Receiving Subaccounts").
Under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, Policyowners may make more than one
transfer per policy year from the Guaranteed Interest Account. These transfers
must be in approximately equal amounts and made over a minimum 18-month period.
Only one Dollar Cost Averaging Program can be active at any time. All
transfers under this program will be made on the basis of the Guaranteed
Interest Account and Subaccount on the first day of the month following our
receipt of the transfer request. If the first day of the month falls on a
holiday or weekend, then the transfer will be processed on the next business
day. There is no cost associated with participating in this program.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REBALANCING
Automated asset rebalancing permits you to maintain a specified whole number
percentage of your account value in any combination of Subaccounts and the
Guaranteed Interest Account. We must receive a written request in order to begin
your automated asset rebalancing program ("asset rebalancing"). Then, we will
make transfers at least quarterly to and from the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed
Interest Account to readjust your account value to your specified percentage.
Asset rebalancing allows you to maintain a specific fund allocation. Quarterly
rebalancing is based on your policy year. We will rebalance your account value
only on a monthly calculation day.
The effective date of the first asset rebalancing will be the first monthly
calculation day after we receive your request at Andesa TPA, Inc. If we receive
your request before the end of the Free Look Period, your first rebalancing will
occur at the end of the Free Look Period. There is no cost associated with
participating in this program.
You may not participate in both the Dollar Cost Averaging Program and asset
rebalancing at the same time.
DETERMINATION OF SUBACCOUNT VALUES
We establish the unit value of each Subaccount on the first valuation date
of that Subaccount. The unit value of a Subaccount on any other valuation date
is determined by multiplying the unit value of that Subaccount on the just-prior
valuation date by the net investment factor for that Subaccount for the
then-current valuation period. The unit value of each Subaccount on a day other
than a valuation date is the unit value on the next valuation date. Unit values
are carried to 6 decimal places. The unit value of each Subaccount on a
valuation date is determined at the end of that day.
The net investment factor for each Subaccount is determined by the
investment performance of the assets held by the Subaccount during the valuation
period. Each valuation will follow applicable law and accepted procedures. The
net investment factor is determined by the formula:
(A) + (B) - (D) where:
(C)
(A) = The value of the assets in the Subaccount on the current valuation date,
including accrued net investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses, but excluding the net value of any transactions
during the current valuation period.
(B) = The amount of any dividend (or, any capital gain distribution, if
applicable) received by the Subaccount if the "ex-dividend" date for
shares of the Fund occurs during the current valuation period.
(C) = The value of the assets in the Subaccount as of the just-prior valuation
date, including accrued net investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses, and including the net value amount of any
deposits and withdrawals made during the valuation period ending on that
date.
(D) = The charge, if any, for taxes and reserves for taxes on investment
income, and realized and unrealized capital gains.
DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE POLICY
The death benefit is the amount we pay to the designated beneficiary(ies)
when the Insured dies. Upon receiving due proof of death, we pay the beneficiary
the death benefit amount determined as of the date the Insured dies. The
beneficiary may direct us to pay all or part of the benefit in cash or to apply
it under one or more of our payment options.
16
<PAGE>
MINIMUM FACE AMOUNT
To qualify as life insurance under current federal tax laws, the policy has
a minimum face amount of insurance. The minimum face amount is determined using
1 of 2 allowable definitions of life insurance:
(1) the Cash Value Accumulation Test or
(2) the Guideline Premium Test.
You chose which test to use on the application prior to the issuance of your
policy. You cannot change the way we determine your minimum face amount after
your policy is issued.
The Cash Value Accumulation Test determines the minimum face amount by
multiplying the account value plus the refund of sales load, if applicable, by
the minimum face amount percentage. The percentages depend upon the Insured's
age, gender and underwriting classification.
Under the Guideline Premium Test, the minimum face amount is also equal to
an applicable percentage of the account value plus refund of sales load, if
applicable, but the percentage varies only by age of insured.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
In your application you select a face amount of insurance coverage and the
death benefit option. We offer 3 death benefit options:
[diamond] Option 1--The death benefit is the greater of:
(a) the policy's face amount on the date of death or
(b) the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
[diamond] Option 2--The death benefit is the greater of:
(a) the policy's face amount on the date of death plus the policy
value on the date of death or
(b) the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
[diamond] Option 3--The death benefit is the greater of:
(a) the policy's face amount on the date of death plus the sum of all
premiums paid, less withdrawals, or
(b) the policy's face amount on the date of death, or
(c) the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
If the Insured dies while the policy is in force, we will pay the death
benefit based on the option in effect on the date of death with the following
adjustments:
o add back in any charges taken against the account value for the period
beyond the date of death;
o deduct any policy debt outstanding on the date of death; and
o deduct any charges accrued against the account value unpaid as of the date
of death.
You may change the Death Benefit Option from Option 1 to Option 2 or from
Option 2 to Option 1. You may not make a change either to or from Option 3.
Under death benefit Options 1 and 3, the death benefit is not affected by
your policy's investment experience. Under death benefit Option 2, the death
benefit amount may increase or decrease by the investment experience.
We pay interest on the death benefit from the date of death to the date the
death benefit is paid or a payment option becomes effective.
CHANGES IN FACE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE
REQUESTS FOR INCREASE IN FACE AMOUNT
Any time while this policy is in force, you may request an increase in the
face amount of insurance provided under the policy. Requests for face amount
increases must be made in writing, and we require additional evidence of
insurability. The effective date of the increase generally will be the policy
anniversary following approval of the increase. The increase may not be less
than $25,000. We will deduct any charges associated with the increase (the
increases in cost of insurance charges), from the policy value whether or not
you pay an additional premium in connection with the increase. Also, a new Free
Look Period (see "Free Look Period") will be established for the amount of the
increase. For a discussion of possible implications of a material change in the
policy resulting from the increase, see "Material Change Rules."
DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT AND PARTIAL SURRENDER: EFFECT ON DEATH BENEFIT
REQUESTS FOR DECREASE IN FACE AMOUNT
You may request a decrease in face amount at any time after the first policy
year. Unless we agree otherwise, the decrease must be at least equal to $10,000
and the face amount remaining after the decrease must be at least $25,000. All
face amount decrease requests must be in writing and will be effective on the
first monthly calculation day following the date we approve the request.
A partial surrender or a decrease in face amount generally decreases the
death benefit. If the change is a decrease in face amount, the death benefit
under a policy would be reduced on the next monthly calculation day. If the
change is a partial surrender, the death benefit under a policy would be reduced
immediately. A decrease in the death benefit may have certain tax consequences.
See "Federal Income Tax Considerations."
SURRENDERS
GENERAL
At any time during the lifetime of the Insured and while the policy is in
force, you may partially or fully surrender the policy by sending a written
request to Andesa TPA, Inc. We may also require you to send the policy to us.
The
17
<PAGE>
amount available for surrender is the cash surrender value at the end of the
valuation period during which the surrender request is received at Andesa TPA,
Inc.
The cash surrender value is:
[diamond] policy value; less
[diamond] any outstanding debt.
There is no surrender charge.
FULL SURRENDERS
If the policy is being fully surrendered, the policy itself must be returned
to Andesa TPA, Inc., along with the written release and surrender of all claims
in a form satisfactory to us. You may elect to have the amount paid in a lump
sum or under a payment option (see "Payment of Proceeds--Payment Options").
PARTIAL SURRENDERS
You may obtain a partial surrender of the policy by requesting payment of
the policy's cash surrender value. It is possible to do this at any time during
the lifetime of the Insured, while the policy is in force, with a written
request to Andesa TPA, Inc. We may require the return of the policy before
payment is made. A partial surrender will be effective on the date the written
request is received or, if required, the date the policy is received by us.
Surrender proceeds may be applied under any of the payment options.
(See "Payment of Proceeds--Payment Options.")
We reserve the right to deny partial surrenders of less than $500. In
addition, if the share of the policy value in any Subaccount or in the
Guaranteed Interest Account is reduced as a result of a partial surrender and is
less than $500, we reserve the right to require surrender of the entire
remaining balance in that Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account.
Upon a partial surrender, the policy value will be reduced by the sum of the
partial surrender amount paid. This amount comes from a reduction in the
policy's share in the value of each Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest
Account based on the allocation requested at the time of the partial surrender.
If no allocation request is made, the withdrawals from each Subaccount will be
made in the same manner as that provided for monthly deductions.
The cash surrender value will be reduced by the partial surrender amount
paid. The face amount of the policy will be reduced by the same amount as the
policy value is reduced as described above.
Upon partial or full surrender, we will generally pay the amount surrendered
within 7 days after we receive the written request for the surrender. Under
certain circumstances, the surrender payment may be postponed (see "Additional
Policy Provisions--Postponement of Payments"). For the federal income tax
effects of partial and full surrenders, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations."
POLICY LOANS
You can take a loan against your policy any time while the policy is in
force. The maximum loan is:
[diamond] 90% of your policy value at the time the loan is taken; less
[diamond] any outstanding policy debt before the loan is taken; less
[diamond] interest on the loan being made and on any outstanding policy debt to
the next policy anniversary date.
Your policy must be assigned to us as collateral for the loan.
SOURCE OF LOAN
We deduct your requested loan amount from the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed
Interest Account, based on the allocation requested at the time of the loan. We
liquidate shares taken from the Subaccounts and transfer the resulting dollars
to the Guaranteed Interest Account. These dollars become part of the loaned
portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account.
INTEREST
You will pay interest on the loan at the following noted effective annual
rates, compounded daily and payable in arrears:
In all states except New York and New Jersey, the loan interest rate in
effect following the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 65th birthday is
2.25%. The rates in effect before the Insured reaches age 65 are:
[diamond] Policy years 1-10: 2.75%
[diamond] Policy years 11-15: 2.50%
[diamond] Policy years 16 and thereafter: 2.25%
In New York and New Jersey only, the loan interest rate in effect following
the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 65th birthday is 4.25%. The rates
in effect before the Insured reaches age 65 are:
[diamond] Policy years 1-10: 4.75%
[diamond] Policy years 11-15: 4.50%
[diamond] Policy years 16 and thereafter: 4.25%
Interest accrues daily, becoming part of the policy debt. Interest is due
and payable on the policy anniversary. If you do not pay the interest when due,
we will add it to your loan. We treat any interest which has been capitalized
the same as if it were a new loan. We deduct this capitalized interest from the
Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account in proportion to the nonloaned
account value in each.
18
<PAGE>
INTEREST CREDITED ON LOANED VALUE
The amount equal to any policy loan is held in the Guaranteed Interest
Account. This amount is credited with interest at a rate of 2% (4% in New York
and New Jersey).
REPAYMENT
You may repay all or part of your policy debt at anytime while the policy is
in force.
If you do not repay the loan, we deduct the loan amount due from the cash
surrender value or the death benefit.
Failure to repay a policy loan or to pay loan interest will not terminate
the policy unless the policy value becomes insufficient to maintain the policy
in force.
In the future, PLAC may not allow policy loans of less than $500, unless
such loan is used to pay a premium on another PLAC policy.
EFFECT OF LOAN
Your policy loan reduces the death benefit and cash surrender value under
the policy by the amount of the loan. Your repayment of the loan increases the
death benefit and cash surrender value by the amount of the repayment.
As long as a loan is outstanding, a portion of your policy value equal to
the loan is held in the Guaranteed Interest Account. The Subaccount's investment
performance does not affect this amount. Also, you may be subject to tax
consequences if you surrender your policy while there is outstanding debt.
LAPSE
Unlike conventional life insurance policies, the payment of the issue
premium, no matter how large, or the payment of additional premiums will not
necessarily continue the policy in force to its maturity date.
If on any monthly calculation day, the policy value is less than the
required monthly deduction, a grace period of 61 days will be allowed for the
payment of an amount equal to 3 times the required monthly deduction.
During the grace period, the policy will continue in force but Subaccount
transfers, loans, partial or full surrenders will not be permitted. Failure to
pay the additional amount within the grace period will result in lapse of the
policy, but not before 30 days after we have mailed written notice to you. If a
premium payment for the additional amount is received by us during the grace
period, any amount of premium over what is required to prevent lapse will be
allocated among the Subaccounts or to the Guaranteed Interest Account according
to the current premium allocation schedule.
In determining the amount of "excess" premium to be applied to the
Subaccounts or the Guaranteed Interest Account, we will deduct the premium tax
and the amount needed to cover any monthly deductions made during the grace
period. If the Insured dies during the grace period, the death benefit will
equal the amount of the death benefit immediately prior to the commencement of
the grace period.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OPTION
While the policy is in force and the Insured is insurable, the policyowner
will have the option to purchase additional insurance on the same Insured with
the same guaranteed rates as the policy. We will require evidence of
insurability and charges will be adjusted for the Insured's new attained age and
any change in risk classification.
ADDITIONAL RIDER BENEFITS
You may elect additional benefits under a policy and you may cancel these
benefits at anytime. A charge will be deducted monthly from the policy value for
each additional rider benefit chosen except where noted below. More details will
be included in the form of a rider to the policy if any of these benefits are
chosen.
The following benefits are currently available and additional riders may be
available as described in the policy (if approved in your state).
[diamond] FLEXIBLE TERM INSURANCE RIDER. This rider provides annually renewable
term insurance coverage to age 100 on the Insured under the base
policy. The initial rider death benefit cannot exceed 10 times the
initial base policy. There is no charge for this rider.
[diamond] EXCHANGE OF INSURED RIDER. This rider allows the policyowner to
exchange the Insured on a given contract. Future charges against the
policy will be based on the life of the substitute Insured. There is
no charge for this rider.
The incontestability and suicide exclusion periods, as they apply to the
substitute Insured, run from the date of the exchange. Any assignments will
continue to apply.
The exchange is subject to the following adjustments:
1. If the policy value of the original policy is insufficient to produce a
positive cash surrender value for the new policy, the owner must pay an
exchange adjustment in an amount that, when applied as premium, will make
the policy value of the new policy greater than zero.
2. In some cases, the amount of policy value which may be applied to the new
policy may result in a death benefit which exceeds the limit for the new
policy. In that event, we will apply such excess policy value to reduce any
loan against the policy, and the residual amount will be returned to you in
cash.
3. The exchange will also be subject to our receipt of repayment of the amount
of any policy debt under the exchange policy in excess of the loan value of
the new policy on the date of exchange.
19
<PAGE>
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that an exchange of Insureds does not
qualify for tax deferral under Code Section 1035. Therefore, you must
include in current gross income all previously unrecognized gain in the
policy upon an exchange of the Insured.
PART II--ADDITIONAL POLICY PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
Payment of any amount upon complete or partial surrender policy loan or
benefits payable at death (in excess of the initial face amount) or maturity may
be postponed:
[diamond] for up to 6 months from the date of the request, for any transactions
dependent upon the value of the Guaranteed Interest Account;
[diamond] whenever the NYSE is closed other than for customary weekend and
holiday closings or trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by
the SEC; or
[diamond] whenever an emergency exists per the SEC, as a result of which
o disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or
o it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the VUL
Account's net assets.
Transfers may also be postponed under these circumstances.
PAYMENT BY CHECK
Payments under the policy of any amounts derived from premiums paid by check
may be delayed until such time as the check has cleared your bank.
THE CONTRACT
The policy and attached copy of the application are the entire contract.
Only statements in the application can be used to void the policy. The
statements are considered representations and not warranties. Only an executive
officer of PLAC can agree to change or waive any provisions of the policy.
SUICIDE
If the Insured commits suicide within 2 years after the policy's date of
issue, the policy will stop and become void. We will pay you the policy value
adjusted by the addition of any monthly deductions and other fees and charges,
minus any debt owed to us under the policy.
INCONTESTABILITY
We cannot contest this policy or any attached rider after it has been in
force during the Insured's lifetime or for 2 years from the policy date.
CHANGE OF OWNER OR BENEFICIARY
The beneficiary, as named in the policy application or as subsequently
changed, will receive the policy benefits at the Insured's death. If the named
beneficiary dies before the Insured, the contingent beneficiary, if named,
becomes the beneficiary. If no beneficiary survives the Insured, the death
benefit payable under the policy will be paid to your estate.
As long as the policy is in force, the policyowner and the beneficiary may
be changed in writing, satisfactory to us. A change in beneficiary will take
effect as of the date the notice is signed, whether or not the Insured is living
when we receive the notice. We will not, however, be liable for any payment made
or action taken before receipt of the notice.
ASSIGNMENT
The policy may be assigned. We will not be bound by the assignment until a
written copy has been received and we will not be liable with respect to any
payment made prior to receipt. We assume no responsibility for determining
whether an assignment is valid.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured has been misstated, the death benefit will
be adjusted based on what the cost of insurance charge for the most recent
monthly deduction would have purchased based on the correct age and sex.
SURPLUS
This policy is nonparticipating and does not pay dividends. Your policy will
not share in PLAC's profits or surplus earnings.
PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SURRENDER AND DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
Death benefit proceeds and the proceeds of full or partial surrenders will
be processed at unit values next computed after we receive the request for
surrender or due proof of death, provided such request is complete and in good
order. Payment of surrender or death proceeds usually will be made in one lump
sum within 7 days, unless another payment option has been elected. Payment of
the death proceeds, however, may be delayed if the claim for payment of the
death proceeds needs to be investigated (e.g., to ensure payment of the proper
amount to the proper payee). Any such delay will not be beyond that reasonably
necessary to investigate such claims consistent with insurance practices
customary in the life insurance industry.
You may elect a payment option for payment of the death proceeds to the
beneficiary. You may revoke or change a prior election, unless such right has
been waived.
20
<PAGE>
The beneficiary may make or change an election before payment of the death
proceeds, unless you have made an election that does not permit such further
election or changes by the beneficiary.
A written request in a form satisfactory to us is required to elect, change
or revoke a payment option.
The minimum amount of surrender or death benefit proceeds that may be
applied under any payment option is $1,000.
If the policy is assigned as collateral security, we will pay any amount due
the assignee in one lump sum. Any remaining proceeds will remain under the
option elected.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
All or part of the surrender or death proceeds of a policy may be applied
under one or more of the following payment options or such other payment options
or alternative versions of the options listed as we may choose to make available
in the future.
OPTION 1--LUMP SUM
Payment is paid in one lump sum.
OPTION 2--LEFT TO EARN INTEREST
A payment of interest is paid during the payee's lifetime on the amount
payable as a principal sum. Interest rates are guaranteed to be at least 3% per
year.
OPTION 3--PAYMENT FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD
Equal installments are paid for a specified period of years whether the
payee lives or dies. The first payment will be on the date of settlement. The
assumed interest rate on the unpaid balance is guaranteed not to be less than 3%
per year.
OPTION 4--LIFE ANNUITY WITH SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN
Equal installments are paid until the later of:
[diamond] the death of the payee; or
[diamond] the end of the period certain.
The first payment will be on the date of settlement.
The period certain must be chosen at the time this option is elected. The
periods certain that you may choose from are as follows:
[diamond] 10 years;
[diamond] 20 years; or
[diamond] until the installments paid refund the amount applied under this
option.
If the payee is not living when the final payment falls due, that payment
will be limited to the amount which needs to be added to the payments already
made to equal the amount applied under this option.
If, for the age of the payee, a period certain is chosen that is shorter
than another period certain paying the same installment amount, we will consider
the longer period certain as having been elected.
Any life annuity provided under Option 4 is computed using an interest rate
guaranteed to be no less than 3-3/8% per year, but any life annuity providing a
period certain of 20 years or more is computed using an interest rate guaranteed
to be no less than 3-1/4% per year.
OPTION 5--LIFE ANNUITY
Equal installments are paid only during the lifetime of the payee. The first
payment will be on the date of settlement. Any life annuity as may be provided
under Option 5 is computed using an interest rate guaranteed to be no less than
3-1/2% per year.
OPTION 6--PAYMENTS OF A SPECIFIED AMOUNT
Equal installments of a specified amount, out of the principal sum and
interest on that sum, are paid until the principal sum remaining is less than
the amount of the installment. When that happens, the principal sum remaining
with accrued interest will be paid as a final payment. The first payment will be
on the date of settlement. The payments will include interest on the remaining
principal at a guaranteed rate of at least 3% per year. This interest will be
credited at the end of each year. If the amount of interest credited at the end
of the year exceeds the income payments made in the last 12 months, that excess
will be paid in one sum on the date credited.
OPTION 7--JOINT SURVIVORSHIP ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
The first payment will be on the date of settlement. Equal installments are
paid until the latest of:
[diamond] the end of the 10-year period certain;
[diamond] the death of the Insured; or
[diamond] the death of the other named annuitant.
The other annuitant must have attained age 40, must be named at the time
this option is elected and cannot later be changed. Any joint survivorship
annuity that may be provided under this option is computed using a guaranteed
interest rate to equal at least 3-3/8% per year.
For additional information concerning the above payment options, see the
policy.

PART III--OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on values under the VUL Account
and on the economic benefit to you or your beneficiary depends on our income tax
status and upon the tax status of the individual concerned. This discussion is
general in nature and is not intended as income tax advice. For complete
information on federal and state income tax considerations, a qualified income
tax advisor should be consulted. No attempt is made to consider any estate and
inheritance taxes, or any state, local or other income tax laws. Because this
discussion is based upon our understanding of federal income tax laws as they
are currently interpreted, we cannot guarantee the income tax status of any
policy.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") makes no representation regarding the
likelihood of continuation of current federal income tax laws, Treasury
regulations or of the current interpretations. We reserve the right to make
changes to the policy to assure that it will continue to qualify as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.
PLAC'S INCOME TAX STATUS
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended ("Code"). For federal income tax purposes, neither the VUL
Account nor the Guaranteed Interest Account is a separate entity from PLAC and
their operations form a part of PLAC.
Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the VUL
Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of the
VUL Account. Investment income of the VUL Account, including realized net
capital gains, is not taxed to us. Due to our income tax status under current
provisions of the Code, no charge is made for our federal income taxes which may
be attributable to the VUL Account.
We reserve the right to make a deduction for taxes if our federal income tax
treatment is determined to be other than what we currently believe it to be, if
changes are made affecting the income tax treatment to our variable life
insurance contracts, or if changes occur in our income tax status. If imposed,
such charge would be equal to the federal income taxes attributable to the
investment results of the VUL Account.
POLICY BENEFITS
DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
The policy, whether or not it is a modified endowment contract ("Modified
Endowment Contracts"), should be treated as meeting the definition of a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes under Section 7702 of the
Code. As such, the death benefit proceeds thereunder should be excludable from
the gross income of the beneficiary under Code Section 101(a)(1). Also, a
policyowner should not be considered to be in constructive receipt of the cash
value, including investment income. See, however, the sections below on possible
taxation of amounts received under the policy, via full surrender, partial
surrender or loan.
Code Section 7702 imposes certain conditions with respect to premiums
received under a policy. We monitor the premiums to assure compliance with such
conditions. However, if the premium limitation is exceeded during the year, we
may return the excess premium, with interest, to the policyowner within 60 days
after the end of the policy year, and maintain the qualification of the policy
as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.
FULL SURRENDER
Upon full surrender of a policy for its cash value, the excess, if any, of
the cash value (unreduced by any outstanding indebtedness) over the premiums
paid will be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The
full surrender of a policy that is a modified endowment contract may result in
the imposition of an additional 10% tax on any income received.
PARTIAL SURRENDER
If the policy is a modified endowment contract, partial surrenders are fully
taxable to the extent of income in the policy and are possibly subject to an
additional 10% tax. See the discussion on "Modified Endowment Contracts" below.
If the policy is not a modified endowment contract, partial surrenders still
may be taxable, as follows. Code Section 7702(f)(7) provides that where a
reduction in death benefits occurs during the first 15 years after a policy is
issued and there is a cash distribution associated with that reduction, the
policyowner may be taxed on all or a part of the amount distributed. A reduction
in death benefits may result from a partial surrender. After 15 years, the
proceeds will not be subject to tax, except to the extent such proceeds exceed
the total amount of premiums paid but not previously recovered.
We suggest you consult with your tax advisor in advance of a proposed
decrease in death benefits or a partial surrender as to the portion, if any,
which would be subject to tax, and in addition as to the impact such partial
surrender might have under the new rules affecting modified endowment contracts.
LOANS
We believe that any loan received under a policy will be treated as your
indebtedness. If the policy is a modified
22
<PAGE>
endowment contract, loans are fully taxable to the extent of income in the
policy and are possibly subject to an additional 10% tax. See the discussion on
modified endowment contracts. If the policy is not a modified endowment
contract, we believe that no part of any loan under a policy will constitute
income to you.
The deductibility by a policyowner of loan interest under a policy may be
limited under Code Section 264, depending on the circumstances. A policyowner
intending to fund premium payments through borrowing should consult a tax
advisor with respect to tax consequences. Under the "personal" interest
limitation provisions of the Code, interest on policy loans used for personal
purposes is not tax deductible. Other rules may apply to allow all or part of
the interest expense as a deduction if the loan proceeds are used for "trade or
business" or "investment" purposes. See your tax advisor for further guidance.
BUSINESS-OWNED POLICIES
If a business or a corporation owns the policy, the Code may impose
additional restrictions. The Code limits the interest deduction on
business-owned policy loans and may impose tax upon the inside build-up of
corporate-owned life insurance policies through the corporate alternative
minimum tax.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
Pursuant to Code Section 72(e), loans and other amounts received under
modified endowment contracts will, in general, be taxed to the extent of
accumulated income (generally, the excess of cash value over premiums paid).
Life insurance policies can be modified endowment contracts if they fail to meet
what is known as "the 7-pay test."
The measuring stick for this test is a hypothetical life insurance policy of
equal face amount which requires 7 equal annual premiums but which, after the
seventh year is "fully paid-up," continuing to provide a level death benefit
without the need for any further premiums. A policy becomes a modified endowment
contract, if, at any time during the first 7 years, the cumulative premium paid
on the policy exceeds the cumulative premium that would have been paid under the
hypothetical policy. Premiums paid during a policy year but which are returned
by us with interest within 60 days after the end of the policy year will be
excluded from the 7-pay test. A life insurance policy received in exchange for a
modified endowment contract will be treated as a modified endowment contract.
REDUCTION IN BENEFITS DURING THE FIRST 7 YEARS
If there is a reduction in death benefits during the first 7 policy years,
the premiums are redetermined for purposes of the 7-pay test as if the policy
originally had been issued at the reduced death benefit level and the new
limitation is applied to the cumulative amount paid for each of the first 7
policy years.
DISTRIBUTIONS AFFECTED
If a policy fails to meet the 7-pay test, it is considered a modified
endowment contract only as to distributions in the year in which the test is
failed and all subsequent policy years. However, distributions made in
anticipation of such failure (there is a presumption that distributions made
within 2 years prior to such failure were "made in anticipation") also are
considered distributions under a modified endowment contract. If the policy
satisfies the 7-pay test for 7 years, distributions and loans generally will not
be subject to the modified endowment contract rules.
PENALTY TAX
Any amounts taxable under the modified endowment contract rule will be
subject to an additional 10% excise tax, with certain exceptions. This
additional tax will not apply in the case of distributions that are:
[diamond] made on or after the taxpayer attains age 59 1/2;
[diamond] attributable to the taxpayer's disability (within the meaning of Code
Section 72(m)(7)); or
[diamond] part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less
often than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer or the joint lives (or life expectancies) of the taxpayer and
his beneficiary.
MATERIAL CHANGE RULES
Any determination of whether the policy meets the 7-pay test will begin
again any time the policy undergoes a "material change," which includes any
increase in death benefits or any increase in or addition of a qualified
additional benefit, with the following two exceptions.
[diamond] First, if an increase is attributable to premiums paid "necessary to
fund" the lowest death benefit and qualified additional benefits
payable in the first 7 policy years or to the crediting of interest or
dividends with respect to these premiums, the "increase" does not
constitute a material change.
[diamond] Second, to the extent provided in regulations, if the death benefit or
qualified additional benefit increases as a result of a cost-of-living
adjustment based on an established broad-based index specified in the
policy, this does not constitute a material change if:
o the cost-of-living determination period does not exceed the
remaining premium payment period under the policy; and
o the cost-of-living increase is funded ratably over the remaining
premium payment period of the policy.
A reduction in death benefits is not considered a material change unless
accompanied by a reduction in premium payments.
A material change may occur at any time during the life of the policy
(within the first 7 years or thereafter), and future taxation of distributions
or loans would depend upon whether the policy satisfied the applicable 7-pay
test from
23
<PAGE>
the time of the material change. An exchange of policies is considered to be a
material change for all purposes.
SERIAL PURCHASE OF MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
All modified endowment contracts issued by the same insurer (or affiliated
companies of the insurer) to the same policyowner within the same calendar year
will be treated as one modified endowment contract in determining the taxable
portion of any loans or distributions made to the policyowner. The Treasury has
been given specific legislative authority to issue regulations to prevent the
avoidance of the new distribution rules for modified endowment contracts.
A qualified tax advisor should be consulted about the tax consequences of
the purchase of more than one modified endowment contract within any calendar
year.
LIMITATIONS ON UNREASONABLE MORTALITY AND EXPENSE CHARGES
The Code imposes limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges
for purposes of ensuring that a policy qualifies as a life insurance contract
for federal income tax purposes. The mortality charges taken into account to
compute permissible premium levels may not exceed those charges required to be
used in determining the federal income tax reserve for the policy, unless
Treasury regulations prescribe a higher level of charge. In addition, the
expense charges taken into account under the guideline premium test are required
to be reasonable, as defined by the Treasury regulations. We will comply with
the limitations for calculating the premium we are permitted to receive from
you.
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
To comply with the Diversification Regulations under Code Section 817(h),
each Series of the Fund is required to diversify its investments. The
Diversification Regulations generally require that on the last day of each
calendar quarter the Series assets be invested in no more than:
[diamond] 55% in any 1 investment
[diamond] 70% in any 2 investments
[diamond] 80% in any 3 investments
[diamond] 90% in any 4 investments
A "look-through" rule applies to treat a pro rata portion of each asset of a
Series as an asset of the VUL Account; therefore, each Series of the Fund will
be tested for compliance with the percentage limitations. For purposes of these
diversification rules, all securities of the same issuer are treated as a single
investment, but each United States government agency or instrumentality is
treated as a separate issuer.
The general diversification requirements are modified if any of the assets
of the VUL Account are direct obligations of the United States Treasury. In this
case, there is no limit on the investment that may be made in Treasury
securities. For purposes of determining whether assets other than Treasury
securities are adequately diversified, the generally applicable percentage
limitations are increased based on the value of the VUL Account's investment in
Treasury securities. Notwithstanding this modification of the general
diversification requirements, the portfolios of the Funds will be structured to
comply with the general diversification standards because they serve as an
investment vehicle for certain variable annuity contracts that must comply with
these standards.
In connection with the issuance of the Diversification Regulations, the
Treasury announced that such regulations do not provide guidance concerning the
extent to which you may direct your investments to particular divisions of a
separate account. It is possible that a revenue ruling or other form of
administrative pronouncement in this regard may be issued in the near future. It
is not clear, at this time, what such a revenue ruling or other pronouncement
would provide. It is possible that the Policy may need to be modified to comply
with such future Treasury announcements. For these reasons, we reserve the right
to modify the policy, as necessary, to prevent you from being considered the
owner of the assets of the VUL Account.
We intend to comply with the Diversification Regulations to assure that the
policies continue to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax
purposes.
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OR INSURED OR ASSIGNMENT
Changing the policyowner or the Insured or an exchange or assignment of the
policy may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances. Code Section
1035 provides that a life insurance contract can be exchanged for another life
insurance contract, without recognition of gain or loss, assuming that no money
or other property is received in the exchange, and that the policies relate to
the same Insured. If the surrendered policy is subject to a policy loan, this
may be treated as the receipt of money on the exchange.
We recommend that any person contemplating such actions seek the advice of a
qualified tax consultant.
OTHER TAXES
Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each policyowner or beneficiary.
We do not make any representations or guarantees regarding the tax
consequences of any policy with respect to these types of taxes.
VOTING RIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will vote the Funds' shares held by the Subaccounts at any regular and
special meetings of shareholders of the
24
<PAGE>
Funds. To the extent required by law, such voting will be pursuant to
instructions received from you. However, if the 1940 Act or any regulation
thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should
change, and as a result, we decide that we are permitted to vote the Funds'
shares at our own discretion, we may elect to do so.
The number of votes that you have the right to cast will be determined by
applying your percentage interest in a Subaccount to the total number of votes
attributable to the Subaccount. In determining the number of votes, fractional
shares will be recognized.
Funds' shares held in a Subaccount for which no timely instructions are
received, and Funds' shares which are not otherwise attributable to
policyowners, will be voted by PLAC in proportion to the voting instructions
that are received with respect to all policies participating in that Subaccount.
Instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon will be applied to reduce
the votes eligible to be cast by PLAC.
You will receive proxy materials, reports and other materials related to the
Funds.
We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be voted so as
to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of one or
more of the portfolios of the Funds or to approve or disapprove an investment
advisory contract for the Funds. In addition, PLAC itself may disregard voting
instructions in favor of changes initiated by a policyowner in the investment
policies or the investment advisor of the Funds if PLAC reasonably disapproves
of such changes. A change would be disapproved only if the proposed change is
contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities or we decide
that the change would have an adverse effect on the General Account because the
proposed investment policy for a Series may result in overly speculative or
unsound investments. In the event PLAC does disregard voting instructions, a
summary of that action and the reasons for such action will be included in the
next periodic report to policyowners.

SAFEKEEPING OF THE VUL ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We hold the assets of the VUL Account. They are kept physically segregated
and held separate and apart from our General Account. We maintain records of all
purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds.
SALES OF POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Policies may be purchased from registered representatives of W.S. Griffith &
Co., Inc. ("WSG"), a New York corporation incorporated on August 7, 1970,
licensed to sell Phoenix insurance policies as well as policies, annuity
contracts and funds of companies affiliated with Phoenix. WSG, an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix, is registered as a broker-dealer with the
SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") and is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Phoenix Equity Planning
Corporation ("PEPCO") serves as national distributor of the policies. PEPCO is
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. ("PXP")
in which Phoenix owns a majority interest.
Policies also may be purchased from other broker-dealers registered under
the 1934 Act whose representatives are authorized by applicable law to sell
policies under terms of agreements provided by PEPCO.
Sales commissions will be paid to registered representatives on purchase
payments we receive under these policies. PLAC will pay a maximum total sales
commission of 19% of premiums to PEPCO. Additionally, agents or selling brokers
may receive asset-based compensation. The maximum asset-based
25
<PAGE>
compensation is 0.90% of the policy value. To the extent that the sales charge
under the policies is less than the sales commissions paid with respect to the
policies, we will pay the shortfall from our General Account assets, which will
include any profits we may derive under the policies.
STATE REGULATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are subject to the provisions of the Connecticut insurance laws
applicable to stock life insurance companies and to regulation and supervision
by the Connecticut Superintendent of Insurance. We also are subject to the
applicable insurance laws of all the other states and jurisdictions in which we
do insurance business.
State regulation of PLAC includes certain limitations on the investments
which we may make, including investments for the VUL Account and the Guaranteed
Interest Account. This regulation does not include, however, any supervision
over the investment policies of the VUL Account.
REPORTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All policyowners will be furnished with those reports required by the 1940
Act and related regulations or by any other applicable law or regulation.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The VUL Account is not engaged in any litigation. PLAC is not involved in
any litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet
our obligations under the policies.
LEGAL MATTERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edwin L. Kerr, Counsel of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, has
passed upon the organization of PLAC, its authority to issue variable life
insurance policies and the validity of the policy, and upon legal matters

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholder of
Phoenix Life and Annuity Company
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
income, comprehensive income and equity and cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Phoenix Life and Annuity Company at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these 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 provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Phoenix Life and Annuity Company (Phoenix Life and Annuity) offers various
non-participating life insurance products in the United States. On March
29, 1996, PM Holdings, Inc. acquired Savers Life Insurance Company of
America (Savers Life) from Central United Life Insurance Company (Central
United Life), renamed the acquired company Phoenix Life and Annuity Company
and redomiciled the company from Missouri to Connecticut. PM Holdings
accounted for the acquisition of Phoenix Life and Annuity under the
purchase method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of Phoenix Life
and Annuity were recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition
and goodwill associated with the acquisition was recorded. Phoenix Life and
Annuity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PM Holdings. PM Holdings is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company
(Phoenix).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in
determining insurance and contractholder liabilities, income taxes and
valuation allowances for investment assets are discussed throughout the
Notes to Financial Statements.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investments in debt securities include U.S. government and agency bonds and
corporate securities. Phoenix Life and Annuity classifies its debt security
investments as available-for-sale. These investments are reported at fair
value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity and consist of
public bonds that management may not hold until maturity. Debt securities
are considered impaired when a decline in value is considered to be other
than temporary.
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.
Unrealized investment gains and losses on debt securities
available-for-sale are included as a separate component of equity, net of
deferred income taxes.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and money market
instruments.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business acquired over
the fair value of its net assets. During 1997, Phoenix Life and Annuity
recorded a $58 thousand reduction in goodwill, representing a refund and
subsequent adjustment of a portion of the purchase price. Goodwill is
34
<PAGE>
PHOENIX LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF PM HOLDINGS, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 10 years, the
expected period of benefit from the acquisition. Management periodically
reevaluates the propriety of the carrying value of goodwill by comparing
estimates of future undiscounted cash flows to the assets. Assets are
considered impaired if carrying value exceeds the expected future
undiscounted cash flows.
POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS
Reserves for future policy benefits are liabilities for life insurance
products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the
estimated future obligations of policies in force. Liabilities for
universal life policies include deposits received from customers and
investment earnings on their fund balances, less administrative charges.
Universal life fund balances are also assessed mortality charges.
Liabilities for the 100% indemnity assumed term business include assumed
basic and deficiency reserves (see Note 7 - "Reinsurance").
PREMIUMS, INSURANCE PRODUCT FEES AND RELATED EXPENSES
Revenues for universal life products consist of net investment income and
mortality, administration and surrender charges assessed against the fund
values during the period. Related benefit expenses include universal life
benefit claims in excess of fund values and net investment income credited
to universal life fund values. Revenues for the 100% indemnity assumed term
business consist of premiums and net investment income. Related benefit
expenses include 100% of the assumed term benefit claims (see Note 7 -
"Reinsurance").
INCOME TAXES
For the tax year ended December 31, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity will
file a separate federal income tax return as required under Internal
Revenue Code Section 1504(c). Phoenix Life and Annuity was included in the
life/nonlife consolidated federal income tax return filed by Phoenix for
years 1996 through 1998.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their recorded amounts for financial
reporting purposes. These differences result primarily from policy
liabilities, goodwill, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or
losses on investments.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting,
distribution and policy issue expenses less issue year front-end loads, all
of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new
business, are deferred. Deferred policy acquisition costs are subject to
recoverability testing at the time of policy issue and loss recognition at
the end of each accounting period.
For universal life insurance policies, deferred policy acquisition costs
are amortized in proportion to total estimated gross profits over the
expected average life of the contracts using estimated gross margins
arising principally from investment, mortality and expense margins and
surrender charges based on historical and anticipated experience, updated
at the end of each accounting period.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Phoenix sponsors pension and savings plans for its employees and agents,
and those of its subsidiaries. The multi-employer qualified plans comply
with requirements established by the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) and excess benefit plans provide for that portion of
pension obligations which is in excess of amounts permitted by ERISA.
Phoenix also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
active and retired employees. Phoenix Life and Annuity incurs applicable
employee benefit expenses through the process of cost allocation by
Phoenix.
Applicable information regarding the actuarial present value of vested and
non-vested accumulated plan benefits, and the net assets of the plans
available for benefits is omitted, as the information is not separately
calculated for Phoenix Life and Annuity's participation in the plans. The
amount of such allocated benefits is not significant to the financial
statements. However, with respect to the Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance
Company employee pension plan, the total assets of the plan exceeded the
actuarial present value of vested benefits at January 1, 1999, the date of
the most recent actuarial valuation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Phoenix Life and Annuity adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of January 1, 1998. This
statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial
statements. This statement defines the components of comprehensive income
as those items that were previously reported only as components of equity
and were excluded from net income.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity adopted Statement of Position
(SOP) 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments." SOP 97-3 provides guidance for assessments
related to insurance activities. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a
material effect on the Company's results from operations or financial
position.
In 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting
Principles guidance, which will replace the current Accounting Practices
and Procedures manual as the NAIC's primary guidance on statutory
accounting. The Codification provides guidance for areas where statutory
accounting has been silent and changes current statutory accounting in some
areas, e.g., deferred income taxes are recorded.
The State of Connecticut Insurance Department has adopted the Codification
guidance, effective January 1, 2001. The Company has not estimated the
potential effect of the Codification guidance.

liabilities totaled $41 thousand and $188 thousand at December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. It is management's assessment, based on Phoenix Life
and Annuity's earnings and projected future taxable income, that it is more
likely than not that the deferred income tax assets at December 31, 1999
and 1998, will be realized.
Phoenix Life and Annuity's income tax return is not currently being
examined; however, income tax year 1998 remains open for examination.
Management does not believe that there will be a material adverse effect on
the financial statements as a result of pending income tax matters.

7. REINSURANCE
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity Company assumed a closed block
of yearly renewable rate term business of Phoenix through a 100% indemnity
reinsurance arrangement. As of December 31, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity
had approximately $149.4 million in force and $28.0 thousand of reinsurance
payable on the paid and unpaid losses of this business.
In connection with Phoenix Life and Annuity's universal life insurance
products, automatic treaties with four unaffiliated reinsurers were
established in 1999 covering 80% of the net amount at risk, on a first
dollar basis. As of December 31, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity had
approximately $16.1 million of net insurance in force, including $77.3
million of direct in force less $61.2 million of reinsurance ceded.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Phoenix provides services and facilities to Phoenix Life and Annuity and is
reimbursed through a cost allocation process. Investment services are
provided for a fee by a Phoenix registered investment advisor.
9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure
requirements (insurance contracts are excluded) are carried in the
financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value. The fair
values presented for certain financial instruments are estimates which, in
many cases, may differ significantly from the amounts which could be
realized upon immediate liquidation. In cases where market prices are not
available, estimates of fair value are based on discounted cash flow
analyses which utilize current interest rates for similar financial
instruments which have comparable terms and credit quality.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS, CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For these short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair
value.
DEBT SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available, or quoted
market prices of comparable instruments. Fair values of private placement
debt securities are estimated using discounted cash flows that apply
interest rates currently being offered with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality.
10. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The life insurance subsidiaries of Phoenix are required to file annual
statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting
basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities. As of December 31, 1999,
there were no material practices not prescribed by the State of Connecticut
Insurance Department.
Statutory surplus differs from equity reported in accordance with GAAP for
life insurance companies primarily because policy acquisition costs are
expensed when incurred, investment reserves are based on different
assumptions, postretirement benefit costs are based on different
assumptions and reflect a different method of adoption, life insurance
reserves are based on different assumptions and income tax expense reflects
only taxes paid or currently payable.

decreased by $383 thousand to reflect expenses, net of income taxes,
associated with new business issued in the later part of 1999. These
expenses have been recorded in the first quarter of 2000.
11. INDEMNIFICATION
In 1996, PM Holdings acquired Savers Life from Central United Life. Prior
to the acquisition, Savers Life had assumed reinsurance contracts with
three unaffiliated reinsurers. This business, assumed between 1986 and
1989, was subsequently assigned to Winterthur Life Re Insurance Company in
October 1995. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement between PM
Holdings and Central United Life, Central United Life will indemnify
Phoenix for any liability in excess of $15,000 resulting from these
reinsurance contracts.

APPENDIX B
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THESE RATES OF RETURN ARE NOT AN ESTIMATE OR GUARANTEE OF FUTURE
PERFORMANCE. THEY DO NOT ILLUSTRATE HOW ACTUAL PERFORMANCE WILL AFFECT THE
BENEFITS UNDER A POLICY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT REFLECT COST OF INSURANCE, PREMIUM
TAX CHARGES, PREMIUM SALES CHARGES AND SURRENDER CHARGES, IF APPLICABLE. FOR
THIS INFORMATION SEE APPENDIX C "ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, POLICY VALUES
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES." Performance information may be expressed as yield
and effective yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount, as yield of
the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Subaccount and as total return of
any Subaccount. Current yield for the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount
will be based on the income earned by the Subaccount over a given 7-day period
(less a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions for expenses taken during the
period) and then annualized, i.e., the income earned in the period is assumed to
be earned every seven days over a 52-week period and is stated in terms of an
annual percentage return on the investment. Effective yield is calculated
similarly but reflects the compounding effect of earnings on reinvested
dividends. Yield and effective yield reflect the mortality and expense risk
charge on the VUL Account level.
Yield calculations of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount used for
illustration purposes are based on the consideration of a hypothetical
participant's account having a balance of exactly one unit at the beginning of a
7-day period, which period will end on the date of the most recent financial
statements. The yield for the Subaccount during this 7-day period will be the
change in the value of the hypothetical participant's account's original unit.
The following is an example of this yield calculation for the Phoenix-Goodwin
Money Market Subaccount based on a 7-day period ending December 31, 1999.
Example:
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with
exactly one unit at the beginning of the period:.. $1.000000
Value of the same account (excluding capital changes)
at the end of the 7-day period:................... 1001003
Calculation:
Ending account value ............................. 1.001003
Less beginning value ............................. 1.000000
Net change in account value ...................... 0.001003
Base period return:
(adjusted change/beginning account value) ........ 0.001003
Current yield = return x (365/7).................... 5.23%
Effective yield = [(1 + return)]365/7 - 1........... 5.37%
The current yield and effective yield information will fluctuate, and
publication of yield information may not provide a basis for comparison with
bank deposits, other investments which are insured and/or pay a fixed yield for
a stated period of time, or other investment companies, due to charges which
will be deducted on the VUL Account level.
For the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Subaccount, quotations of
yield will be based on all investment income per unit earned during a given
30-day period (including dividends and interest), less expenses accrued during
the period ("net investment income"), and are computed by dividing net
investment income by the maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the
period.
When a Subaccount advertises its total return, it usually will be calculated
for one year, five years, and ten years or since inception if the Subaccount has
not been in existence for at least ten years. Total return is measured by
comparing the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Subaccount at
the beginning of the relevant period to the value of the investment at the end
of the period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value
and the deduction of the mortality and expense risk, issue expense and monthly
administrative charges.
For those Subaccounts within the VUL Account that have not been available
for one of the quoted periods, the average annual total return quotations will
show the investment performance such Subaccount would have achieved (reduced by
the applicable charges) had it been available to invest in shares of the Fund
for the period quoted.

<PAGE>
The following performance tables display historical investment results of
the Subaccounts of the VUL Account. This information may be useful in helping
potential investors in deciding which Subaccounts to choose and in assessing the
competence of the investment advisors. The performance figures shown should be
considered in light of the investment objectives and policies, characteristics
and quality of the Subaccounts and market conditions during the periods of time
quoted. The performance figures should not be considered as estimates or
predictions of future performance. Investment return of the Subaccounts are not
guaranteed and will fluctuate. Below are quotations of average annual total
return calculated as described above for all Subaccounts with at least one year
of results. POLICY CHARGES (INCLUDING COST OF INSURANCE, PREMIUM TAX CHARGES,
PREMIUM SALES CHARGES AND SURRENDER CHARGES) ARE NOT REFLECTED.

Advertisements, sales literature and other communications may contain
information about any series' or advisor's current investment strategies and
management style. Current strategies and style may change to respond to a
changing market and economic conditions. From time to time, the series may
discuss specific portfolio holdings or industries in such communications. To
illustrate components of overall performance, the series may separate their
cumulative and average annual returns into income results and capital gains or
losses; or cite separately, as a return figure, the equity or bond portion of
a series' portfolio; or compare a series' equity or bond return figure to
well-known indices of market performance including, but not limited to, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500"), Dow Jones
Industrial AverageSM, First Boston High Yield Index and Salomon Brothers
Corporate and Government Bond Indices.
Occasionally, The VUL Account may include in advertisements containing total
return, the ranking of those performance figures relating to such figures for
groups of Subaccounts having similar investment objectives as categorized by
ranking services such as:
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Morningstar, Inc.
CDA Investment Technologies, Inc. Weisenberger Financial Services, Inc.
Additionally, the Funds may compare a Series' performance results to other
investment or savings vehicles (such as certificates of deposit) and may refer
to results published in various publications such as:
Changing Times Forbes
Fortune Money
Barrons Business Week
Investor's Business Daily The Wall Street Journal
The New York Times Consumer Reports
Registered Representative Financial Planning
Financial Services Weekly Financial World
U.S. News and World Report Standard & Poor's
The Outlook Personal Investor
The Funds may occasionally illustrate the benefits of tax deferral by
comparing taxable investments to investments made through tax-deferred
retirement plans. The total return also may be used to compare the performance
of a Series against certain widely acknowledged outside standards or indices for
stock and bond market performance such as:
S&P 500 Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM
Europe Australia Far East Index (EAFE) Consumers Price Index
Shearson Lehman Corporate Index Shearson Lehman T-Bond Index
The S&P 500 is a commonly quoted market value-weighted and unmanaged index
showing the changes in the aggregate market value of 500 common stocks relative
to the base period 1940-43. The S&P 500 is composed almost entirely of common
stocks of companies listed on the NYSE, although the common stocks of a few
companies listed on the American Stock Exchange or traded over the counter are
included. The 500 companies represented include 400 industrial, 60
transportation and 40 financial services concerns. The S&P 500 represents about
70-80% of the market value of all issues traded on the NYSE.
The Funds' annual reports, available upon request and without charge,
contain a discussion of the performance of the Funds and a comparison of that
performance to a securities market index.

</TABLE>
1 Performance data quoted represents the investment return of the appropriate
series adjusted for Phoenix Corporate Edge charges had the subaccount started
on the inception date of the appropriate series. The average annual total
return is the annualized compounded return that results from holding an
initial investment of $10,000 for the time period indicated. Returns are net
of investment management fees, monthly administrative fees, and the mortality
and expense risk fees. The investment return and principal value of the
variable contract will fluctuate so that the accumulated value, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
2 Because Class 2 shares were not offered until May 1, 1997 (November 10, 1998
for Mutual Shares Securities), performance shown for periods prior to that
date represent the historical results of Class 1 shares. Performance since
that date reflect Class 2's high annual fees and expenses resulting from its
Rule 12b-1 plan. Maximum annual plan expenses are 0.25%.
These rates of return are not an estimate or guarantee of future performance.

APPENDIX C
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, POLICY VALUES ("ACCOUNT VALUES")
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The tables on the following pages illustrate how a policy's death benefits,
account values and cash surrender value could vary over time assuming constant
hypothetical gross (after tax) annual investment returns of 0%, 6% and 12%. The
policy benefits will differ from those shown in the tables if the annual
investment returns are not absolutely constant. That is, the figures will be
different if the returns averaged 0%, 6% or 12% over a period of years but went
above or below those figures in individual policy years. The policy benefits
also will differ, depending on your premium allocations to each Subaccount of
the VUL Account, if the overall actual rates of return averaged 0%, 6% or 12%,
but went above or below those figures for the individual Subaccounts. The tables
are for standard risk males and females who are nonsmokers. In states where cost
of insurance rates are not based on the Insured's sex, the tables designated
"male" apply to all standard risk insureds who are nonsmokers. Account values
and cash surrender values may be lower for risk classes involving higher
mortality risk. Planned premium payments are assumed to be paid at the beginning
of each policy year.
The death benefit, account value and cash surrender value amounts reflect
the following current charges:
1. A sales charge of 7.0% of premiums up to the target premium and 0% on
amounts in excess of the target premium in policy years 1-7 and 0% of
all premiums in policy years 8+.
2. Monthly administrative charge of $5 per month ($10 per month guaranteed
maximum in all states except New York and New Jersey. In New York and
New Jersey guaranteed maximum is $7.50 per month.).
3. An average premium tax charge of 2.25%.
4. A federal tax charge of 1.5%.
5. Cost of insurance charge. The tables illustrate cost of insurance at
both the current rates and at the maximum rates guaranteed in the
policies. See "Charges under the Policy" table.
6. Mortality and expense risk charge, which is a monthly charge equivalent
to .50% on an annual basis (or .25% on an annual basis after the 10th
policy year) of your policy value. See "Charges under the Policy" table.
These illustrations also assume an average investment advisory fee of .75%
on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of each of the Series of
the Funds. They also assume other ongoing average Fund expenses of .22%. All
other Fund expenses, except capital items such as brokerage commissions, are
paid by the advisor or PLAC. Management may decide to limit the amount of
expense reimbursement in the future. If expense reimbursement had not been in
place for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, average total operating
expenses for the Series would have been approximately .97% of the average net
assets. See "Annual Fund Expenses" table.
Taking into account the investment advisory fees and expenses, the gross
annual investment return rates of 0%, 6% and 12% on the Funds' assets are
equivalent to net annual investment return rates of approximately -.97%, 5.03%
and 11.03%, respectively. For individual illustrations, interest rates ranging
between 0% and 12% may be selected in place of the 0%, 6% and 12% rates.
The hypothetical returns shown in the tables are without any tax charges
that may be attributable to the VUL Account in the future. If such tax charges
are imposed in the future, then in order to produce after tax returns equal to
those illustrated for 0%, 6% and 12%, a sufficiently higher amount in excess of
the hypothetical interest rates would have to be earned.
The second column of each table shows the amount that would accumulate if an
amount equal to the premiums paid were invested to earn interest, after taxes,
at 5% compounded annually. These tables show that if a policy is returned in its
very early years for payment of its cash surrender value, that cash surrender
value may be low in comparison to the amount of the premiums accumulated with
interest. Thus, the cost of owning a policy for a relatively short time may be
high.
On request, we will furnish the policyowner with a comparable illustration
based on the age and sex of the proposed insured person(s), standard risk
assumptions and the initial face amount and planned premium chosen.

Based on 0% interest rate and guaranteed charges, the Policy will lapse in year

Death benefit, account value and Cash Surrender Value are based on hypothetical
gross interest rates shown, assume current and guaranteed charges and no Policy
loans or withdrawals, and are calculated at the end of the Policy Year. Assumed
Premium Payments shown are assumed paid in full at the beginning of the Policy
Year. Payment of premiums shown other than in full at the beginning of the
Policy Year would reduce values and benefits below the hypothetical illustrated
amounts shown. Values shown reflect an effective annual asset charge of 1.47%
(includes average fund operating expenses of .97% applicable to the investment
Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account). Hypothetical gross interest rates are
presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate funds allocated entirely
to the investment Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account and do not in any way
represent actual results or suggest that such results will be achieved in the
future. Actual values will differ from those shown whenever actual investment
results differ from hypothetical gross interest rates illustrated. A Guaranteed
Interest Account providing interest at a minimum guaranteed rate of 3% also is
available under this product through the General Account.
This illustration assumes a premium tax of 2.25%.

Based on 0% interest rate and guaranteed charges, the Policy will lapse in year
36.
Death benefit, account value and Cash Surrender Value are based on hypothetical
gross interest rates shown, assume current and guaranteed charges and no Policy
loans or withdrawals, and are calculated at the end of the Policy Year. Assumed
Premium Payments shown are assumed paid in full at the beginning of the Policy
Year. Payment of premiums shown other than in full at the beginning of the
Policy Year would reduce values and benefits below the hypothetical illustrated
amounts shown. Values shown reflect an effective annual asset charge of 1.47%
(includes average fund operating expenses of .97% applicable to the investment
Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account). Hypothetical gross interest rates are
presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate funds allocated entirely
to the investment Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account and do not in any way
represent actual results or suggest that such results will be achieved in the
future. Actual values will differ from those shown whenever actual investment
results differ from hypothetical gross interest rates illustrated. A Guaranteed
Interest Account providing interest at a minimum guaranteed rate of 3% also is
available under this product through the General Account.

28.
Death benefit, account value and Cash Surrender Value are based on hypothetical
gross interest rates shown, assume current and guaranteed charges and no Policy
loans or withdrawals, and are calculated at the end of the Policy Year. Assumed
Premium Payments shown are assumed paid in full at the beginning of the Policy
Year. Payment of premiums shown other than in full at the beginning of the
Policy Year would reduce values and benefits below the hypothetical illustrated
amounts shown. Values shown reflect an effective annual asset charge of 1.47%
(includes average fund operating expenses of .97% applicable to the investment
Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account). Hypothetical gross interest rates are
presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate funds allocated entirely
to the investment Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account and do not in any way
represent actual results or suggest that such results will be achieved in the
future. Actual values will differ from those shown whenever actual investment
results differ from hypothetical gross interest rates illustrated. A Guaranteed
Interest Account providing interest at a minimum guaranteed rate of 3% also is
available under this product through the General Account.

Based on 0% interest rate and guaranteed charges, the Policy will lapse in year

Death benefit, account value and Cash Surrender Value are based on hypothetical
gross interest rates shown, assume current and guaranteed charges and no Policy
loans or withdrawals, and are calculated at the end of the Policy Year. Assumed
Premium Payments shown are assumed paid in full at the beginning of the Policy
Year. Payment of premiums shown other than in full at the beginning of the
Policy Year would reduce values and benefits below the hypothetical illustrated
amounts shown. Values shown reflect an effective annual asset charge of 1.47%
(includes average fund operating expenses of .97% applicable to the investment
Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account). Hypothetical gross interest rates are
presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate funds allocated entirely
to the investment Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account and do not in any way
represent actual results or suggest that such results will be achieved in the
future. Actual values will differ from those shown whenever actual investment
results differ from hypothetical gross interest rates illustrated. A Guaranteed
Interest Account providing interest at a minimum guaranteed rate of 3% also is
available under this product through the General Account.
This illustration assumes a premium tax of 2.25%.

any financial institution or credit union. It is not federally insured or
endorsed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state or
federal agency. Policy investments are subject to risk, including the
fluctuation of policy values and possible loss of principal invested or premiums
paid.

Certain provisions of the policy described in this prospectus may differ in

Throughout the prospectus, Phoenix Life and Annuity Company is referred to
as PLAC, we, us or our and the policyholder is referred to as you or your.
We define the following terms in the Glossary of Appendix A:

If there is ever a difference between the provisions within this prospectus
and the provisions of the policy, the policy provisions will control.
AVAILABILITY
The policy is available on a "case" basis. We may consider one person as a
case. Policies within a case are aggregated for purposes of determining policy
dates, loan rates and underwriting requirements. If an individual owns the
policy as part of a case, he or she may exercise all rights under the policy
through his or her employer or sponsoring organization. After termination of
employment or other such relationship, the individual may exercise such rights
directly with us.
For fully underwritten policies, the age of the insured at the time of issue
generally must be between ages 18 through 85 as of his or her birthday nearest
policy anniversary.
For policies that are underwritten using simplified or guaranteed issue
programs, generally the maximum age of the Insured at the time of issue is age
70 for simplified and 64 for guaranteed issue.
The minimum face amount of insurance per policy issued is $50,000.
You can purchase a policy to insure the life of another person provided that
you have an insurable interest in that life and the prospective Insured
consents.
UNDERWRITING
Currently, we offer 3 types of underwriting:
[diamond] fully underwritten;
[diamond] simplified issue underwriting; and
[diamond] guaranteed issue underwriting.
Your cost of insurance charges will vary based on the type of underwriting
we use.
CHARGES UNDER THE POLICY
We deduct certain charges from your policy to compensate us for:
1. our expenses in selling the policy;
2. underwriting and issuing the policy;
3. premium and federal taxes incurred on premiums received;
4. providing insurance benefits under your policy; and
5. assuming certain risks in connection with the policy.

DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
Before we allocate your premium to the Subaccounts or the Guaranteed
Interest Account, we deduct a sales charge, a state premium tax and a federal
tax to cover the estimated cost to us for deferred acquisition costs.
SALES CHARGE
We deduct a sales charge from your premium for the costs we incur in the
sales and distribution of the policies. We will refund a portion of the sales
charge to you as part of the cash surrender value if you surrender your policy
within the first 3 policy years according to the following schedule:
Policy Year 1: 100.00%
Policy Year 2: 66.67%
Policy Year 3: 33.33%
STATE PREMIUM TAX CHARGE
States assess premium taxes at various rates. We deduct the applicable state
rate from each premium to cover the cost of the premium taxes assessed against
us by the state.
We may increase or decrease this charge if there is a change in the tax or
change of residence.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COST ("DAC") TAX CHARGE
This tax is associated with our federal income tax liability under Internal
Revenue Code Section 848.
POLICY VALUE CHARGES
On each monthly calculation day, we deduct the following charges from your
policy value:
1. administrative charge
2. cost of insurance charge
3. mortality and expense risk fee
4. a charge for the cost of riders if applicable
The amount deducted is allocated among the Subaccounts and the unloaned
portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account based on an allocation schedule
specified by you. You initially select this schedule in your application.
1. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
We assess a monthly charge for the expenses we incur in administering the
policy. This charge reimburses us for the cost of daily administration of
services such as billing and collections, monthly processing, updating daily
values and communicating with policyholders.
2. COST OF INSURANCE
We deduct a charge to cover the cost of insurance coverage on each monthly
calculation day. This charge is based on:
[diamond] Insured's gender;
[diamond] Insured's age at issue;
[diamond] policy year in which we make the deduction;
[diamond] Insured's tobacco use classification;
[diamond] rating class of the policy; and
[diamond] underwriting classification of the case.
To determine the monthly cost of insurance, we multiply the appropriate cost
of insurance rate by the difference between your policy's death benefit and the
policy value. Any change in the cost of insurance rates will apply to all
persons of the same sex, insurance age and risk class whose policies have been
in force for the same length of time.
3. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK FEE
We charge the Subaccounts for the mortality and expense risks we assume.
This charge is deducted from the value of each Subaccount's assets attributable
to the policies.
The mortality risk we assume is that the group of lives we insure under our
policies may, on average, live for a shorter period of time than we estimated.
The expense risk we assume is that our cost of issuing and administering the
policies may be more than we estimated.
If all the money we collect from this charge is not required to cover the
cost of death benefits and other expenses, it will be a gain to us. If the money
we collect is not enough to cover our costs, we will still provide for death
benefits and expenses.
4. RIDER CHARGE
We will deduct any applicable monthly rider charges for the additional
benefit provided to you by the rider.
CHARGES FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
We currently do not charge the VUL Account for federal income taxes
attributable to it. In the future, we may charge to cover these taxes or any
other tax liability of the VUL Account.
FUND CHARGES

OTHER CHARGES
PARTIAL SURRENDER FEE
We reserve the right to deduct a charge from each withdrawal.
LOAN INTEREST RATE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct a charge from the loan interest rate. This charge reimburses us
for expenses we incur in administering your loan. This rate varies by policy
year.
REDUCTION IN CHARGES
The policy is available for purchase by individuals, corporations and other
groups. For group or sponsored arrangements (including our employees and their
family members) and for special exchange programs that we may make available, we
reserve the right to reduce or eliminate the sales load, mortality and expense
risk charge, monthly administrative charge, monthly cost of insurance charges or
other charges normally assessed on certain multiple life cases where it is
expected that the size or nature of such cases will result in savings of sales,
underwriting, administrative or other costs.
Eligibility for the amount of these reductions will be determined by a
number of factors including:
[diamond] the number of insureds,
[diamond] the total premium expected to be paid,
[diamond] the total assets under management for the policyowner,
[diamond] the nature of the relationship among individual insureds,
[diamond] the purpose for which the policies are being purchased,
and other circumstances which in our opinion are rationally related to the
expected reduction in expenses. Any variations in the charge structure will be
determined in a uniform manner reflecting differences in costs of services and
not unfairly discriminatory to policyholders.

PHOENIX LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND
THE VUL ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAC
We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance
Company ("Phoenix"). Our executive office is located at One American Row,
Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5056, and our main administrative office is located
at 100 Bright Meadow Boulevard, Enfield, Connecticut 06083-1900. We are a
Connecticut stock company, formed to write life insurance and annuity contracts.
Formerly, PLAC was Savers Life Insurance Company of America, chartered in
Missouri in 1981. We redomiciled to Connecticut in April, 1997.
THE VUL ACCOUNT
The VUL Account is a separate account of PLAC, established on July 1, 1996
and governed under the laws of Connecticut. It is registered with the SEC as a
unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
meets the definition of a "separate account" under that Act. This registration
does not involve supervision of the management of the VUL Account or PLAC by the
SEC.
The VUL Account is divided into Subaccounts, each of which is available for
allocation of policy value. Each Subaccount will invest solely in shares of a
specific series of a mutual fund. In the future, we may establish additional
Subaccounts which will be made available to existing policyowners to the extent
and on a basis decided by us. See "Investments of the VUL Account--Participating
Investment Funds."
PLAC does not guarantee the investment performance of the VUL Account or any
of its Subaccounts. Contributions to the overall policy value allocated to the
VUL Account depend on the chosen Fund's investment performance. Thus, you bear
the full investment risk for all monies invested in the VUL Account.
The VUL Account is part of the general business of PLAC, but the gains or
losses of the VUL Account belong solely to the VUL Account. The gains or losses
of any other business we may conduct do not affect the VUL Account. Under
Connecticut law, the assets of the VUL Account may not be taken to pay
liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. Nevertheless,
obligations arising under the policy are general corporate obligations of PLAC.
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We may include the performance history of the VUL Account Subaccounts in
advertisements, sales literature or reports. Performance information about each
Subaccount is based on past performance only and is not an indication of future
performance. See "Appendix B" for more information.

billion and focuses its investments in 40 to 60 companies in the developed
markets.
WANGER INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP: The investment objective of the series is
long-term capital growth. The Wanger International Small Cap Series invests
primarily in securities of non-U.S. companies with total common stock market
capitalization of less than $1 billion.
WANGER TWENTY: The investment objective of the series is long-term capital
growth. The Wanger Twenty Series invests primarily in the stocks of U.S.
companies with market capitalization of $1 billion to $10 billion and ordinarily
focuses its investments in 20 to 25 U.S. companies.
WANGER U.S. SMALL CAP: The investment objective of the series is long-term
capital growth. The Wanger U.S. Small Cap Series invests primarily in securities
of U.S. companies with total common stock market capitalization of less than $1
billion.
Each series will be subject to market fluctuations and the risks that come
with the ownership of any security. There can be no assurance that any series
will achieve its stated investment objective.
In addition to being sold to the Account, shares of all of the funds may be
sold to other separate accounts of Phoenix or its affiliates. Shares of certain
funds may also be sold to the separate accounts of other insurance companies.
It is possible that in the future there may be no advantage for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the Funds simultaneously. Although neither PLAC nor the Funds'
trustees currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable life
insurance policyowners or to variable annuity
12
<PAGE>
contractowners, the Funds' trustees intend to monitor events in order to
identify any material conflicts between variable life insurance policyowners and
variable annuity contractowners and to determine what action, if any, should be
taken in response to such conflicts. Material conflicts could, for example,
result from:
[diamond] changes in state insurance laws;
[diamond] changes in federal income tax laws;
[diamond] changes in the investment management of any portfolio of the Fund(s);
or
[diamond] differences in voting instructions between those given by variable
life insurance policyowners and those given by variable annuity
contractowners.
We will remedy such material conflicts at our expense, including, if
necessary, segregating the assets underlying the variable life insurance
policies and the variable annuity contracts and establishing a new registered
investment company.

SERVICES OF THE ADVISORS
The advisors continually furnish an investment program for each series and
manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each series subject at
all times to the authority and supervision of the trustees of each fund. A
detailed discussion of the investment advisors and subadvisors, and the
investment advisory and subadvisory agreements, is contained in the accompanying
prospectus for the funds.
REINVESTMENT AND REDEMPTION
All dividend distributions of the Fund are automatically reinvested in
shares of the Fund at their net asset value on the date of distribution.
Likewise, all capital gains distributions of the Fund, if any, are reinvested at
the net asset value on the record date. We redeem Fund shares at their net asset
value to the extent necessary to make payments under the policy.
SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions
for the investments held by the VUL Account, subject to compliance with the law
as currently applicable or as subsequently changed. In the future, we may
establish additional Subaccounts within the VUL Account, each of which will
invest in shares of a designated portfolio of the Fund with a specified
investment objective. If and when marketing needs and investment conditions
warrant, and at our discretion, we may establish additional portfolios. These
will be made available under existing policies to the extent and on a basis
determined by us.
If shares of any of the portfolios of the Fund should no longer be available
for investment or, if in the judgment of our management, further investment in
shares of any of the portfolios become inappropriate due to policy objectives,
we may then substitute shares of another mutual fund for shares already
purchased, or to be purchased in the future. No substitution of mutual fund
shares held by the VUL Account may take place without prior approval of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and prior notice to you. In the event of a
change, you will be given the option of transferring the policy value of the
Subaccount in which the substitution is to occur to another Subaccount.
THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
In addition to the VUL Account, you may allocate premium or transfer policy
value to the Guaranteed Interest Account. Amounts you allocate or transfer to
the Guaranteed Interest Account become part of Phoenix Life and Annuity's
general account assets. You do not share in the investment experience of those
assets. Rather, we guarantee a 3% rate of return on your allocated amount. For
amounts transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account from a policy loan, the
guaranteed rate is 2% in all states except New York and New Jersey. In New York
and New Jersey the rate credited to the Guaranteed Interest Account due to a
policy loan is 4%. Although we are not obligated to credit interest at a higher
rate than the minimum, we will credit any excess interest as determined by us
based on expected investment yield information.
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, we have not registered
interests in our general account under the Securities Act of 1933. Also, we have
not registered our general account as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Therefore, neither the general account nor any
of its interests are subject to these Acts, and the Securities and Exchange
Commission has not reviewed the general account disclosures. These disclosures
may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities law
regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made in this prospectus.
We reserve the right to limit total deposits to the Guaranteed Interest
Account, including transfers, to no more than $250,000 during any one-week
period per policy.
In general, you can make only one transfer per year from the Guaranteed
Interest Account. The amount that can be transferred out is limited to the
greater of $1,000 or 25% of the policy value in the Guaranteed Interest Account
as of the date of the transfer. If you elect the Systematic Transfer Program,
approximately equal amounts may be transferred out of the Guaranteed Interest
Account. Also, the total policy value allocated to the Guaranteed Interest
Account may be transferred out to one or more of the Subaccounts over a
consecutive 4-year period according to the following schedule:
[diamond] Year One: 25% of the total value
[diamond] Year Two: 33% of remaining value
[diamond] Year Three: 50% of remaining value
[diamond] Year Four: 100% of remaining value
Transfers into the Guaranteed Interest Account and among the Subaccounts may
be made at any time. Transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Account are subject
to the rules discussed above and in "Transfer of Policy Value" and "Systematic
Transfer for Dollar Cost Averaging."

PREMIUMS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM PREMIUMS
The minimum premium is determined by case size as follows:
[diamond] 5 or more lives: $100,000 annually for the first 5 policy years
[diamond] Fewer than 5 lives: $250,000 annually for the first 5 policy years
The issue premium is due on the policy date. The Insured must be alive when
the issue premium is paid. After that, premiums may be paid at any time while
the policy is in force. Each premium payment must be at least $100. Additional
payments should be sent to the:
VUL COLI UNIT
PO BOX 22012
ALBANY, NY 12201-2012
The number of units credited to a Subaccount will be determined by dividing
the portion of the net premium applied to that Subaccount by the unit value of
the Subaccount on the payment date.
Regardless of whether you choose the Guideline Premium Test or the Cash
Value Accumulation Test (see "Minimum Face Amount"), we reserve the right to
refund a premium paid in any year if it will exceed the maximum premium limit.
The maximum limit is established by law to qualify the policy as life insurance.
This limit is applied to the sum of all premiums paid under the policy. If the
total premium limit is exceeded, the policyowner will receive the excess, with
interest at an annual rate of not less than 4%, not later than 60 days after the
end of the policy year in which the limit was exceeded. The policy value will
then be adjusted to reflect the refund. The total premium limit may be exceeded
if additional premium is needed to prevent lapse or if we subsequently determine
that additional premium would be permitted by federal laws or regulations.
ALLOCATION OF ISSUE PREMIUM
We will allocate the issue premium less applicable charges to the VUL
Account or to the Guaranteed Interest Account upon receipt of a completed
application (in accordance with the allocation instructions in the application
for a policy).
FREE LOOK PERIOD
You have the right to review the policy. If you are not satisfied with it,
you may cancel the policy:
[diamond] by mailing it to us within 10 days after you receive it (or longer in
some states);
[diamond] within 10 days after we mail or deliver a written notice telling you
about your Free Look Period; or
[diamond] within 45 days after completing the application, whichever occurs
latest.
We treat a returned policy as if we never issued it and will return the sum
of the following as of the date we receive the returned policy:
(1) the then current policy value less any unpaid loans and loan interest; plus
(2) any monthly deductions, partial surrender fees and other charges made under
the policy.
We retain the right to decline to process an application within 7 days of
our receipt of the completed application for insurance. If we decline to process
the application, we will return the premium paid. Even if we have approved the
application for processing, we retain the right to decline to issue the policy.
If we decline to issue the policy, we will refund the same amount to you as
would have been refunded under the policy had it been issued but returned for
refund during the Free Look Period.
ACCOUNT VALUE
TRANSFER OF POLICY VALUE
Transfers among available Subaccounts or the Guaranteed Interest Account and
changes in premium payment allocations may be requested in writing. Requests for
transfers will be executed on the date the request is received at Andesa TPA
Inc.
Although there currently is no charge for transfers, in the future we may
charge a fee of $10 for each transfer after the first 2 transfers in a policy
year (12 transfers in New York).
You may make only one transfer per policy year from the unloaned portion of
the Guaranteed Interest Account unless
(1) the transfer(s) are made as part of a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, or
(2) we agree to make an exception to this rule.
Unless you have elected a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, the amount you may
transfer cannot exceed the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the value of the unloaned
portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account at the time of the transfer. In
addition, you may transfer the total value allocated to the unloaned portion of
the Guaranteed Interest Account out to one or more of the Subaccounts over a
consecutive 4-year period according to the following schedule:
[diamond] Year One: 25% of the total value
[diamond] Year Two: 33% of the remaining value
[diamond] Year Three: 50% of the remaining value
[diamond] Year Four: 100% of the remaining value
15
<PAGE>
Transfers into the Guaranteed Interest Account and among the Subaccounts may
be made anytime. We reserve the right to limit the number of Subaccounts you may
invest in at any one time or over the life of the policy, if we are required to
do so by any federal or state law.
Because excessive exchanges between Subaccounts can adversely affect Fund
performance, we reserve the right to temporarily or even permanently terminate
exchange privileges or reject any specific exchange order from anyone whose
transactions appear to us to follow a timing pattern, including those who
request more than one exchange out of a Subaccount within any 30-day period. We
will not accept batched transfer instructions from registered representatives
(acting under powers of attorney for multiple policyowners), unless the
registered representative's broker-dealer firm and PLAC have entered into a
third-party transfer service agreement.
SYSTEMATIC TRANSFERS FOR DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
You may elect to transfer funds automatically among the Subaccounts or the
unloaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account on a monthly, quarterly,
semiannual or annual basis under the Systematic Transfers for Dollar Cost
Averaging Program ("Dollar Cost Averaging Program"). Under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program, the minimum transfer amounts are:
[diamond] $25 monthly,
[diamond] $75 quarterly,
[diamond] $150 semiannually, or
[diamond] $300 annually.
You must have an initial value of $1,000 in the Guaranteed Interest Account
or the Subaccount from which funds will be transferred ("Sending Subaccount").
If the value in that Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account drops below
the amount to be transferred, the entire remaining balance will be transferred
and all systematic transfers stop. Funds may be transferred from only one
Sending Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account, but may be allocated to
more than one Subaccount ("Receiving Subaccounts").
Under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, policyowners may make more than one
transfer per policy year from the Guaranteed Interest Account. These transfers
must be in approximately equal amounts and made over a minimum 18-month period.
Only one Dollar Cost Averaging Program can be active at any time. All
transfers under this program will be made on the basis of the Guaranteed
Interest Account and Subaccount on the first day of the month following our
receipt of the transfer request. If the first day of the month falls on a
holiday or weekend, then the transfer will be processed on the next business
day. There is no cost associated with participating in this program.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REBALANCING
Automated asset rebalancing permits you to maintain a specified whole number
percentage of your account value in any combination of Subaccounts and the
Guaranteed Interest Account. We must receive a written request in order to begin
your automated asset rebalancing program ("asset rebalancing"). Then, we will
make transfers at least quarterly to and from the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed
Interest Account to readjust your account value to your specified percentage.
Asset rebalancing allows you to maintain a specific fund allocation. Quarterly
rebalancing is based on your policy year. We will rebalance your account value
only on a monthly calculation day.
The effective date of the first asset rebalancing will be the first monthly
calculation day after we receive your request at Andesa TPA, Inc. If we receive
your request before the end of the Free Look Period, your first rebalancing will
occur at the end of the Free Look Period. There is no cost associated with
participating in this program.
You may not participate in both the Dollar Cost Averaging Program and the
asset rebalancing at the same time.
DETERMINATION OF SUBACCOUNT VALUES
We establish the unit value of each Subaccount on the first valuation date
of that Subaccount. The unit value of a Subaccount on any other valuation date
is determined by multiplying the unit value of that Subaccount on the just-prior
valuation date by the net investment factor for that Subaccount for the
then-current valuation period. The unit value of each Subaccount on a day other
than a valuation date is the unit value on the next valuation date. Unit values
are carried to 6 decimal places. The unit value of each Subaccount on a
valuation date is determined at the end of that day.
The net investment factor for each Subaccount is determined by the
investment performance of the assets held by the Subaccount during the valuation
period. Each valuation will follow applicable law and accepted procedures. The
net investment factor is determined by the formula:
(A) + (B) - (D) where:
(C)
(A) =The value of the assets in the Subaccount on the current valuation date,
including accrued net investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses, but excluding the net value of any transactions
during the current valuation period.
16
<PAGE>
(B) =The amount of any dividend (or any capital gain distribution, if
applicable) received by the Subaccount if the "ex-dividend" date for
shares of the Fund occurs during the current valuation period.
(C) =The value of the assets in the Subaccount as of the just-prior valuation
date, including accrued net investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses, and including the net value amount of any
deposits and withdrawals made during the valuation period ending on that
date.
(D) =The charge, if any, for taxes and reserves for taxes on investment income,
and realized and unrealized capital gains.
DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE POLICY
The death benefit is the amount we pay to the designated beneficiary(ies)
when the Insured dies. Upon receiving due proof of death, we pay the beneficiary
the death benefit amount determined as of the date the Insured dies. The
beneficiary may direct us to pay all or part of the benefit in cash or to apply
it under one or more of our payment options.
MINIMUM FACE AMOUNT
To qualify as life insurance under current federal tax laws, the policy has
a minimum face amount of insurance. The minimum face amount is determined using
1 of 2 allowable definitions of life insurance:
(1) the Cash Value Accumulation Test or
(2) the Guideline Premium Test.
You chose which test to use on the application prior to the issuance of your
policy. You cannot change the way we determine your minimum face amount after
your policy is issued.
The Cash Value Accumulation Test determines the minimum face amount by
multiplying the account value plus the refund of sales load, if applicable, by
the minimum face amount percentage. The percentages depend upon the Insured's
age, gender and underwriting classification.
Under the Guideline Premium Test, the minimum face amount is also equal to
an applicable percentage of the account value plus refund of sales load, if
applicable, but the percentage varies only by age of insured.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
In your application you select a face amount of insurance coverage and the
death benefit option. We offer 3 death benefit options:
[diamond] Option 1 -- The death benefit is the greater of:
(a) the policy's face amount on the date of death or
(b) the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
[diamond] Option 2 -- The death benefit is the greater of:
(a) the policy's face amount on the date of death plus the policy
value on the date of death or
(b) the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
[diamond] Option 3-- The death benefit is the greater of:
(a) the policy's face amount on the date of death plus the sum of all
premiums paid, less withdrawals, or
(b) the policy's face amount on the date of death or
(c) the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
If the Insured dies while the policy is in force, we will pay the death
benefit based on the option in effect on the date of death with the following
adjustments:
[diamond] add back in any charges taken against the account value for the period
beyond the date of death;
[diamond] deduct any policy debt outstanding on the date of death; and
[diamond] deduct any charges accrued against the account value unpaid as of the
date of death.
You may change the Death Benefit Option from Option 1 to Option 2 or from
Option 2 to Option 1. You may not make a change either to or from Option 3.
Under Death Benefit Options 1 and 3, the death benefit is not affected by
your policy's investment experience. Under Death Benefit Option 2, the Death
Benefit amount may increase or decrease by the investment experience.
We pay interest on the death benefit from the date of death to the date the
death benefit is paid or a payment option becomes effective.
CHANGES IN FACE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE
REQUESTS FOR INCREASE IN FACE AMOUNT
Any time while this policy is in force, you may request an increase in the
face amount of insurance provided under the policy. Requests for face amount
increases must be made in writing, and we require additional evidence of
insurability. The effective date of the increase generally will be the policy
anniversary following approval of the increase. The increase may not be less
than $25,000. We will deduct any charges associated with the increase (the
increases in cost of insurance charges), from the policy value whether or not
you pay an additional premium in connection with the increase. Also, a new Free
Look Period (see "Free Look Period") will be established for the amount of the
increase. For a discussion of possible implications of a material change in the
policy resulting from the increase, see "Material Change Rules."
17
<PAGE>
DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT AND PARTIAL SURRENDER: EFFECT ON DEATH BENEFIT
REQUESTS FOR DECREASE IN FACE AMOUNT
You may request a decrease in face amount at any time after the first policy
year. Unless we agree otherwise, the decrease must be at least equal to $10,000
and the face amount remaining after the decrease must be at least $25,000. All
face amount decrease requests must be in writing and will be effective on the
first monthly calculation day following the date we approve the request.
A partial surrender or a decrease in face amount generally decreases the
death benefit. If the change is a decrease in face amount, the death benefit
under a policy would be reduced on the next monthly calculation day. If the
change is a partial surrender, the death benefit under a policy would be reduced
immediately. A decrease in the death benefit may have certain tax consequences.
See "Federal Income Tax Considerations."
SURRENDERS
GENERAL
At any time during the lifetime of the Insured and while the policy is in
force, you may partially or fully surrender the policy by sending a written
request to Andesa TPA, Inc. We may also require you to send the policy to us.
The amount available for surrender is the cash surrender value at the end of the
valuation period during which the surrender request is received at Andesa TPA,
Inc.
The cash surrender value is:
[diamond] policy value; less
[diamond] any outstanding debt; plus
[diamond] the refund of sales charge, if applicable.
There is no surrender charge.
If the policy is surrendered within the first 3 policy years, you will
receive a refund of sales charge as part of your cash surrender value. A portion
of the first year sales charge will be returned to you according to the
following schedule:
[diamond] Full surrender in policy year 1: 100.00%
[diamond] Full surrender in policy year 2: 66.67%
[diamond] Full surrender in policy year 3: 33.33%
FULL SURRENDERS
If the policy is being fully surrendered, the policy itself must be returned
to Andesa TPA, Inc., along with the written release and surrender of all claims
in a form satisfactory to us. You may elect to have the amount paid in a lump
sum or under a payment option. See "Payment Options."
PARTIAL SURRENDERS
You may obtain a partial surrender of the policy by requesting payment of
the policy's cash surrender value. It is possible to do this at any time during
the lifetime of the Insured, while the policy is in force, with a written
request to Andesa TPA, Inc. We may require the return of the policy before
payment is made. A partial surrender will be effective on the date the written
request is received or, if required, the date the policy is received by us.
Surrender proceeds may be applied under any of the payment options.
See "Payment of Proceeds--Payment Options."
We reserve the right to deny partial surrenders of less than $500. In
addition, if the share of the policy value in any Subaccount or in the
Guaranteed Interest Account is reduced as a result of a partial surrender and is
less than $500, we reserve the right to require surrender of the entire
remaining balance in that Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account.
Upon a partial surrender, the policy value will be reduced by the sum of the
partial surrender amount paid. This amount comes from a reduction in the
policy's share in the value of each Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest
Account based on the allocation requested at the time of the partial surrender.
If no allocation request is made, the withdrawals from each Subaccount will be
made in the same manner as that provided for monthly deductions.
The cash surrender value will be reduced by the partial surrender amount
paid plus the partial surrender fee. The face amount of the policy will be
reduced by the same amount as the policy value is reduced as described above.
Upon partial or full surrender, we will generally pay the amount surrendered
within 7 days after we receive the written request for the surrender. Under
certain circumstances, the surrender payment may be postponed. See "Additional
Policy Provisions--Postponement of Payments." For the federal tax effects of
partial and full surrenders, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations."
POLICY LOANS
You can take a loan against your policy any time while the policy is in
force. The maximum loan is:
[diamond] 90% of your policy value at the time the loan is taken; less
[diamond] any outstanding policy debt before the loan is taken; less
[diamond] interest on the loan being made and on any outstanding policy debt to
the next policy anniversary date.
Your policy must be assigned to us as collateral for the loan.
18
<PAGE>
SOURCE OF LOAN
We deduct your requested loan amount from the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed
Interest Account, based on the allocation requested at the time of the loan. We
liquidate shares taken from the Subaccounts and transfer the resulting dollars
to the Guaranteed Interest Account. These dollars become part of the loaned
portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account.
INTEREST
You will pay interest on the loan at the following noted effective annual
rates, compounded daily and payable in arrears:
In all states except New York and New Jersey, the loan interest rate in
effect following the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 65th birthday is
2.25%. The rates in effect before the Insured reaches age 65 are:
[diamond] Policy years 1-10: 2.75%
[diamond] Policy years 11-15: 2.50%
[diamond] Policy years 16 and thereafter: 2.25%
In New York and New Jersey only, the loan interest rate in effect following
the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 65th birthday is 4.25%. The rates
in effect before the Insured reaches age 65 are:
[diamond] Policy years 1-10: 4.75%
[diamond] Policy years 11-15: 4.50%
[diamond] Policy years 16 and thereafter: 4.25%
Interest accrues daily, becoming part of the policy debt. Interest is due
and payable on the policy anniversary. If you do not pay the interest when due,
we will add it to your loan. We treat any interest which has been capitalized
the same as if it were a new loan. We deduct this capitalized interest from the
Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account in proportion to the nonloaned
account value in each.
INTEREST CREDITED ON LOANED VALUE
The amount equal to any policy loan is held in the Guaranteed Interest
Account. This amount is credited with interest at a rate of 2% (4% in New York
and New Jersey).
REPAYMENT
You may repay all or part of your policy debt at anytime while the policy is
in force.
If you do not repay the loan, we deduct the loan amount due from the cash
surrender value or the death benefit.
Failure to repay a policy loan or to pay loan interest will not terminate
the policy unless the policy value becomes insufficient to maintain the policy
in force.
In the future, PLAC may not allow policy loans of less than $500, unless
such loan is used to pay a premium on another PLAC policy.
EFFECT OF LOAN
Your policy loan reduces the death benefit and cash surrender value under
the policy by the amount of the loan. Your repayment of the loan increases the
death benefit and cash surrender value by the amount of the repayment.
As long as a loan is outstanding, a portion of your policy value equal to
the loan is held in the Guaranteed Interest Account. The Subaccount's investment
performance does not affect this amount. Also, you may be subject to tax
consequences if you surrender your policy while there is outstanding debt.
LAPSE
Unlike conventional life insurance policies, the payment of the issue
premium, no matter how large, or the payment of additional premiums will not
necessarily continue the policy in force to its maturity date.
If on any monthly calculation day during the first 3 policy years, the
policy value plus the refund of any applicable sales charge is insufficient to
cover the monthly deduction, a grace period of 61 days will be allowed for the
payment of an amount equal to 3 times the required monthly deduction. If on any
monthly calculation day during any subsequent policy year, the policy value is
less than the required monthly deduction, a grace period of 61 days will be
allowed for the payment of an amount equal to 3 times the required monthly
deduction.
During the grace period, the policy will continue in force but Subaccount
transfers, loans, partial or full surrenders will not be permitted. Failure to
pay the additional amount within the grace period will result in lapse of the
policy, but not before 30 days after we have mailed written notice to you. If a
premium payment for the additional amount is received by us during the grace
period, any amount of premium over what is required to prevent lapse will be
allocated among the Subaccounts or to the Guaranteed Interest Account according
to the current premium allocation schedule.
In determining the amount of "excess" premium to be applied to the
Subaccounts or the Guaranteed Interest Account, we will deduct the premium tax
and the amount needed to cover any monthly deductions made during the grace
period. If the Insured dies during the grace period, the death benefit will
equal the amount of the death benefit immediately prior to the commencement of
the grace period.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OPTION
While the policy is in force and the Insured is insurable, the policyowner
will have the option to
19

purchase additional insurance on the same Insured with the same guaranteed rates
as the policy. We will require evidence of insurability and charges will be
adjusted for the Insured's new attained age and any change in risk
classification.
ADDITIONAL RIDER BENEFITS
You may elect additional benefits under a policy and you may cancel these
benefits at anytime. A charge will be deducted monthly from the policy value for
each additional rider benefit chosen except where noted below. More details will
be included in the form of a rider to the policy if any of these benefits are
chosen.
The following benefits are currently available and additional riders may be
available as described in the policy (if approved in your state).
[diamond] FLEXIBLE TERM INSURANCE RIDER. This rider provides annually renewable
term insurance coverage to age 100 on the Insured under the base
policy. The initial rider death benefit cannot exceed 10 times the
initial base policy. There is no charge for this rider.
[diamond] EXCHANGE OF INSURED RIDER. This rider allows the policyowner to
exchange the Insured on a given contract. Future charges against the
policy will be based on the life of the substitute Insured. There is
no charge for this rider.
The incontestability and suicide exclusion periods, as they apply to
the substitute Insured, run from the date of the exchange. Any
assignments will continue to apply.
The exchange is subject to the following adjustments:
1. If the policy value of the original policy is insufficient to
produce a positive cash surrender value for the new policy, the
owner must pay an exchange adjustment in an amount that, when
applied as premium, will make the policy value of the new policy
greater than zero.
2. In some cases, the amount of policy value which may be applied to
the new policy may result in a death benefit which exceeds the
limit for the new policy. In that event, we will apply such excess
policy value to reduce any loan against the policy, and the
residual amount will be returned to you in cash.
3. The exchange will also be subject to our receipt of repayment of
the amount of any policy debt under the exchange policy in excess
of the loan value of the new policy on the date of exchange.
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that an exchange of Insureds
does not qualify for tax deferral under Code Section 1035.
Therefore, you must include in current gross income all previously
unrecognized gain in the policy upon an exchange of the Insured.
PART II--ADDITIONAL POLICY PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
Payment of any amount upon complete or partial surrender, policy loan or
benefits payable at death (in excess of the initial face amount) or maturity may
be postponed:
[diamond] for up to 6 months from the date of the request, for any transactions
dependent upon the value of the Guaranteed Interest Account;
[diamond] whenever the NYSE is closed other than for customary weekend and
holiday closings or trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by
the SEC; or
[diamond] whenever an emergency exists, per the SEC, as a result of which
o disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or
o it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the VUL
Account's net assets.
Transfers may also be postponed under these circumstances.
PAYMENT BY CHECK
Payments under the policy of any amounts derived from premiums paid by check
may be delayed until such time as the check has cleared your bank.
THE CONTRACT
The policy and attached copy of the application are the entire contract.
Only statements in the application can be used to void the policy. The
statements are considered representations and not warranties. Only an executive
officer of PLAC can agree to change or waive any provisions of the policy.
SUICIDE
If the Insured commits suicide within 2 years after the policy's date of
issue, the policy will stop and become void. We will pay you the policy value
adjusted by the addition of any monthly deductions and other fees and charges,
minus any debt owed to us under the policy.
20
<PAGE>
INCONTESTABILITY
We cannot contest this policy or any attached rider after it has been in
force during the Insured's lifetime or for 2 years from the policy date.
CHANGE OF OWNER OR BENEFICIARY
The beneficiary, as named in the policy application or as subsequently
changed, will receive the policy benefits at the Insured's death. If the named
beneficiary dies before the Insured, the contingent beneficiary, if named,
becomes the beneficiary. If no beneficiary survives the Insured, the death
benefit payable under the policy will be paid to your estate.
As long as the policy is in force, the policyowner and the beneficiary may
be changed in writing, satisfactory to us. A change in beneficiary will take
effect as of the date the notice is signed, whether or not the Insured is living
when we receive the notice. We will not, however, be liable for any payment made
or action taken before receipt of the notice.
ASSIGNMENT
The policy may be assigned. We will not be bound by the assignment until a
written copy has been received and we will not be liable with respect to any
payment made prior to receipt. We assume no responsibility for determining
whether an assignment is valid.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured has been misstated, the death benefit will
be adjusted based on what the cost of insurance charge for the most recent
monthly deduction would have purchased based on the correct age and sex.
SURPLUS
This policy is nonparticipating and does not pay dividends. Your policy will
not share in PLAC's profits or surplus earnings.
PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SURRENDER AND DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
Death benefit proceeds and the proceeds of full or partial surrenders will
be processed at unit values next computed after we receive the request for
surrender or due proof of death, provided such request is complete and in good
order. Payment of surrender or death proceeds usually will be made in one lump
sum within 7 days, unless another payment option has been elected. Payment of
the death proceeds, however, may be delayed if the claim for payment of the
death proceeds needs to be investigated (e.g., to ensure payment of the proper
amount to the proper payee). Any such delay will not be beyond that reasonably
necessary to investigate such claims consistent with insurance practices
customary in the life insurance industry.
You may elect a payment option for payment of the death proceeds to the
beneficiary. You may revoke or change a prior election, unless such right has
been waived. The beneficiary may make or change an election before payment of
the death proceeds, unless you have made an election that does not permit such
further election or changes by the beneficiary.
A written request in a form satisfactory to us is required to elect, change
or revoke a payment option.
The minimum amount of surrender or death benefit proceeds that may be
applied under any payment option is $1,000.
If the policy is assigned as collateral security, we will pay any amount due
the assignee in one lump sum. Any remaining proceeds will remain under the
option elected.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
All or part of the surrender or death proceeds of a policy may be applied
under one or more of the following payment options or such other payment options
or alternative versions of the options listed as we may choose to make available
in the future.
OPTION 1--LUMP SUM Payment is paid in one lump sum.
OPTION 2--LEFT TO EARN INTEREST
A payment of interest is paid during the payee's lifetime on the amount
payable as a principal sum. Interest rates are guaranteed to be at least 3% per
year.
OPTION 3--PAYMENT FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD
Equal installments are paid for a specified period of years whether the
payee lives or dies. The first payment will be on the date of settlement. The
assumed interest rate on the unpaid balance is guaranteed not to be less than 3%
per year.
OPTION 4--LIFE ANNUITY WITH SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN Equal installments are paid
until the later of:
[diamond] the death of the payee; or
[diamond] the end of the period certain.
The first payment will be on the date of settlement.
The period certain must be chosen at the time this option is elected. The
periods certain that you may choose from are as follows:
[diamond] 10 years;
[diamond] 20 years; or
[diamond] until the installments paid refund the amount applied under this
option.
If the payee is not living when the final payment falls due, that payment
will be limited to the amount which
21
<PAGE>
needs to be added to the payments already made to equal the amount applied under
this option.
If, for the age of the payee, a period certain is chosen that is shorter
than another period certain paying the same installment amount, we will consider
the longer period certain as having been elected.
Any life annuity provided under Option 4 is computed using an interest rate
guaranteed to be no less than 3-3/8% per year, but any life annuity providing a
period certain of 20 years or more is computed using an interest rate guaranteed
to be no less than 3-1/4% per year.
OPTION 5--LIFE ANNUITY
Equal installments are paid only during the lifetime of the payee. The first
payment will be on the date of settlement. Any life annuity as may be provided
under Option 5 is computed using an interest rate guaranteed to be no less than
3-1/2% per year.
OPTION 6--PAYMENTS OF A SPECIFIED AMOUNT
Equal installments of a specified amount, out of the principal sum and
interest on that sum, are paid until the principal sum remaining is less than
the amount of the installment. When that happens, the principal sum remaining
with accrued interest will be paid as a final payment. The first payment will be
on the date of settlement. The payments will include interest on the remaining
principal at a guaranteed rate of at least 3% per year. This interest will be
credited at the end of each year. If the amount of interest credited at the end
of the year exceeds the income payments made in the last 12 months, that excess
will be paid in one sum on the date credited.
OPTION 7--JOINT SURVIVORSHIP ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
The first payment will be on the date of settlement. Equal installments are
paid until the latest of:
[diamond] the end of the 10-year period certain;
[diamond] the death of the Insured; or
[diamond] the death of the other named annuitant.
The other annuitant must have attained age 40, must be named at the time
this option is elected and cannot later be changed. Any joint survivorship
annuity that may be provided under this option is computed using a guaranteed
interest rate to equal at least 3-3/8% per year.
For additional information concerning the above payment options, see the
policy.
PART III--OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on values under the VUL Account
and on the economic benefit to you or your beneficiary depends on our income tax
status and upon the income tax status of the individual concerned. This
discussion is general in nature and is not intended as income tax advice. For
complete information on federal and state income tax considerations, a qualified
income tax advisor should be consulted. No attempt is made to consider any
estate and inheritance taxes, or any state, local or other income tax laws.
Because this discussion is based upon our understanding of federal income tax
laws as they are currently interpreted, we cannot guarantee the income tax
status of any policy.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") makes no representation regarding the
likelihood of continuation of current federal income tax laws, Treasury
regulations or of the current interpretations. We reserve the right to make
changes to the policy to assure that it will continue to qualify as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.
PLAC'S INCOME TAX STATUS
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended ("Code"). For federal income tax purposes, neither the VUL
Account nor the Guaranteed Interest Account is a separate entity from PLAC and
their operations form a part of PLAC.
Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the VUL
Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of the
VUL Account. Investment income of the VUL Account, including realized net
capital gains, is not taxed to us. Due to our income tax status under current
provisions of the Code, no charge is made for our federal income taxes which may
be attributable to the VUL Account.
We reserve the right to make a deduction for taxes if our federal income tax
treatment is determined to be other than what we currently believe it to be, if
changes are made affecting the income tax treatment to our variable life
insurance contracts, or if changes occur in our income tax status. If imposed,
such charge would be equal to the federal income taxes attributable to the
investment results of the VUL Account.
POLICY BENEFITS
DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
The policy, whether or not it is a "modified endowment contract" (see
"Modified Endowment Contracts"), should be treated as meeting the definition of
a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes
22
<PAGE>
under Section 7702 of the Code. As such, the death benefit proceeds thereunder
should be excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary under Code Section
101(a)(1). Also, a policyowner should not be considered to be in constructive
receipt of the cash value, including investment income. See, however, the
sections below on possible taxation of amounts received under the policy, via
full surrender, partial surrender or loan.
Code Section 7702 imposes certain conditions with respect to premiums
received under a policy. We monitor the premiums to assure compliance with such
conditions. However, if the premium limitation is exceeded during the year, we
may return the excess premium, with interest, to the policyowner within 60 days
after the end of the policy year, and maintain the qualification of the policy
as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.
FULL SURRENDER
Upon full surrender of a policy for its cash value, the excess, if any, of
the cash value (unreduced by any outstanding indebtedness) over the premiums
paid will be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The
full surrender of a policy that is a modified endowment contract may result in
the imposition of an additional 10% tax on any income received.
PARTIAL SURRENDER
If the policy is a modified endowment contract, partial surrenders are fully
taxable to the extent of income in the policy and are possibly subject to an
additional 10% tax. See the discussion on "Modified Endowment Contracts" below.
If the policy is not a modified endowment contract, partial surrenders still may
be taxable, as follows. Code Section 7702(f)(7) provides that where a reduction
in death benefits occurs during the first 15 years after a policy is issued and
there is a cash distribution associated with that reduction, the policyowner may
be taxed on all or a part of the amount distributed. A reduction in death
benefits may result from a partial surrender. After 15 years, the proceeds will
not be subject to tax, except to the extent such proceeds exceed the total
amount of premiums paid but not previously recovered.
We suggest you consult with your tax advisor in advance of a proposed
decrease in death benefits or a partial surrender as to the portion, if any,
which would be subject to tax, and in addition as to the impact such partial
surrender might have under the new rules affecting modified endowment contracts.
LOANS
We believe that any loan received under a policy will be treated as your
indebtedness. If the policy is a modified endowment contract, loans are fully
taxable to the extent of income in the policy and are possibly subject to an
additional 10% tax. See the discussion on modified endowment contracts. If the
policy is not a modified endowment contract, we believe that no part of any loan
under a policy will constitute income to you.
The deductibility by a policyowner of loan interest under a policy may be
limited under Code Section 264, depending on the circumstances. A policyowner
intending to fund premium payments through borrowing should consult a tax
advisor with respect to tax consequences. Under the "personal" interest
limitation provisions of the Code, interest on policy loans used for personal
purposes is not tax deductible. Other rules may apply to allow all or part of
the interest expense as a deduction if the loan proceeds are used for "trade or
business" or "investment" purposes. See your tax advisor for further guidance.
BUSINESS-OWNED POLICIES
If a business or a corporation owns the policy, the Code may impose
additional restrictions. The Code limits the interest deduction on
business-owned policy loans and may impose tax upon the inside build-up of
corporate-owned life insurance policies through the corporate alternative
minimum tax.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
GENERAL
Pursuant to Code Section 72(e), loans and other amounts received under
modified endowment contracts will, in general, be taxed to the extent of
accumulated income (generally, the excess of cash value over premiums paid).
Life insurance policies can be modified endowment contracts if they fail to meet
what is known as "the 7-pay test."
The measuring stick for this test is a hypothetical life insurance policy of
equal face amount which requires 7 equal annual premiums but which, after the
seventh year is "fully paid-up," continuing to provide a level death benefit
without the need for any further premiums. A policy becomes a modified endowment
contract, if, at any time during the first 7 years, the cumulative premium paid
on the policy exceeds the cumulative premium that would have been paid under the
hypothetical policy. Premiums paid during a policy year but which are returned
by us with interest within 60 days after the end of the policy year will be
excluded from the 7-pay test. A life insurance policy received in exchange for a
modified endowment contract will be treated as a modified endowment contract.
REDUCTION IN BENEFITS DURING THE FIRST 7 YEARS
If there is a reduction in death benefits during the first 7 policy years,
the premiums are redetermined for purposes of the 7-pay test as if the policy
originally had been issued at the reduced death benefit level and the new
limitation is applied to the cumulative amount paid for each of the first 7
policy years.
23
<PAGE>
DISTRIBUTIONS AFFECTED
If a policy fails to meet the 7-pay test, it is considered a modified
endowment contract only as to distributions in the year in which the test is
failed and all subsequent policy years. However, distributions made in
anticipation of such failure (there is a presumption that distributions made
within 2 years prior to such failure were "made in anticipation") also are
considered distributions under a modified endowment contract. If the policy
satisfies the 7-pay test for 7 years, distributions and loans generally will not
be subject to the modified endowment contract rules.
PENALTY TAX
Any amounts taxable under the modified endowment contract rule will be
subject to an additional 10% excise tax, with certain exceptions. This
additional tax will not apply in the case of distributions that are:
[diamond] made on or after the taxpayer attains age 59-1/2;
[diamond] attributable to the taxpayer's disability (within the meaning of Code
Section 72(m)(7)); or
[diamond] part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less
often than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer or the joint lives (or life expectancies) of the taxpayer
and his beneficiary.
MATERIAL CHANGE RULES
Any determination of whether the policy meets the 7-pay test will begin
again any time the policy undergoes a "material change," which includes any
increase in death benefits or any increase in or addition of a qualified
additional benefit, with the following two exceptions.
[diamond] First, if an increase is attributable to premiums paid "necessary to
fund" the lowest death benefit and qualified additional benefits
payable in the first 7 policy years or to the crediting of interest or
dividends with respect to these premiums, the "increase" does not
constitute a material change.
[diamond] Second, to the extent provided in regulations, if the death benefit or
qualified additional benefit increases as a result of a cost-of-living
adjustment based on an established broad-based index specified in the
policy, this does not constitute a material change if:
o the cost-of-living determination period does not exceed the
remaining premium payment period under the policy; and
o the cost-of-living increase is funded ratably over the remaining
premium payment period of the policy.
A reduction in death benefits is not considered a material change unless
accompanied by a reduction in premium payments.
A material change may occur at any time during the life of the policy
(within the first 7 years or thereafter), and future taxation of distributions
or loans would depend upon whether the policy satisfied the applicable 7-pay
test from the time of the material change. An exchange of policies is considered
to be a material change for all purposes.
SERIAL PURCHASE OF MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
All modified endowment contracts issued by the same insurer (or affiliated
companies of the insurer) to the same policyowner within the same calendar year
will be treated as one modified endowment contract in determining the taxable
portion of any loans or distributions made to the policyowner. The Treasury has
been given specific legislative authority to issue regulations to prevent the
avoidance of the new distribution rules for modified endowment contracts.
A qualified tax advisor should be consulted about the tax consequences of
the purchase of more than one modified endowment contract within any calendar
year.
LIMITATIONS ON UNREASONABLE MORTALITY AND EXPENSE CHARGES
The Code imposes limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges
for purposes of ensuring that a policy qualifies as a life insurance contract
for federal income tax purposes. The mortality charges taken into account to
compute permissible premium levels may not exceed those charges required to be
used in determining the federal income tax reserve for the policy, unless
Treasury regulations prescribe a higher level of charge. In addition, the
expense charges taken into account under the guideline premium test are required
to be reasonable, as defined by the Treasury regulations. We will comply with
the limitations for calculating the premium we are permitted to receive from
you.
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
To comply with the Diversification Regulations under Code Section 817(h),
each Series of the Fund is required to diversify its investments. The
Diversification Regulations generally require that on the last day of each
calendar quarter the Series assets be invested in no more than:
[diamond] 55% in any 1 investment
[diamond] 70% in any 2 investments
[diamond] 80% in any 3 investments
[diamond] 90% in any 4 investments
A "look-through" rule applies to treat a pro rata portion of each asset of a
Series as an asset of the VUL Account; therefore, each Series of the Fund will
be tested for compliance with the percentage limitations. For purposes of these
diversification rules, all securities of the same issuer are treated as a single
investment, but each United States government agency or instrumentality is
treated as a separate issuer.
The general diversification requirements are modified if any of the assets
of the VUL Account are direct obligations of the United States Treasury. In this
case,
24
<PAGE>
there is no limit on the investment that may be made in Treasury
securities. For purposes of determining whether assets other than Treasury
securities are adequately diversified, the generally applicable percentage
limitations are increased based on the value of the VUL Account's investment in
Treasury securities. Notwithstanding this modification of the general
diversification requirements, the portfolios of the Funds will be structured to
comply with the general diversification standards because they serve as an
investment vehicle for certain variable annuity contracts that must comply with
these standards.
In connection with the issuance of the Diversification Regulations, the
Treasury announced that such regulations do not provide guidance concerning the
extent to which you may direct your investments to particular divisions of a
separate account. It is possible that a revenue ruling or other form of
administrative pronouncement in this regard may be issued in the near future. It
is not clear, at this time, what such a revenue ruling or other pronouncement
would provide. It is possible that the policy may need to be modified to comply
with such future Treasury announcements. For these reasons, we reserve the right
to modify the policy, as necessary, to prevent you from being considered the
owner of the assets of the VUL Account.
We intend to comply with the Diversification Regulations to assure that the
policies continue to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax
purposes.
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OR INSURED OR ASSIGNMENT
Changing the policyowner or the Insured or an exchange or assignment of the
policy may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances. Code Section
1035 provides that a life insurance contract can be exchanged for another life
insurance contract, without recognition of gain or loss, assuming that no money
or other property is received in the exchange, and that the policies relate to
the same Insured. If the surrendered policy is subject to a policy loan, this
may be treated as the receipt of money on the exchange.
We recommend that any person contemplating such actions seek the advice of a
qualified tax consultant.
OTHER TAXES
Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each policyowner or beneficiary.
We do not make any representations or guarantees regarding the tax
consequences of any policy with respect to these types of taxes.
VOTING RIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will vote the Funds' shares held by the Subaccounts at any regular and
special meetings of shareholders of the Funds. To the extent required by law,
such voting will be pursuant to instructions received from you. However, if the
1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present
interpretation thereof should change, and as a result, we decide that we are
permitted to vote the Funds' shares at our own discretion, we may elect to do
so.
The number of votes that you have the right to cast will be determined by
applying your percentage interest in a Subaccount to the total number of votes
attributable to the Subaccount. In determining the number of votes, fractional
shares will be recognized.
Funds' shares held in a Subaccount for which no timely instructions are
received, and Funds' shares which are not otherwise attributable to
policyowners, will be voted by PLAC in proportion to the voting instructions
that are received with respect to all policies participating in that Subaccount.
Instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon will be applied to reduce
the votes eligible to be cast by PLAC.
You will receive proxy materials, reports and other materials related to the
Funds.
We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be voted so as
to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of one or
more of the portfolios of the Funds or to approve or disapprove an investment
advisory contract for the Funds. In addition, PLAC itself may disregard voting
instructions in favor of changes initiated by a policyowner in the investment
policies or the investment advisor of the Funds if PLAC reasonably disapproves
of such changes. A change would be disapproved only if the proposed change is
contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities or we decide
that the change would have an adverse effect on the General Account because the
proposed investment policy for a Series may result in overly speculative or
unsound investments. In the event PLAC does disregard voting instructions, a
summary of that action and the reasons for such action will be included in the
next periodic report to policyowners.

SAFEKEEPING OF THE VUL ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We hold the assets of the VUL Account. They are kept physically segregated
and held separate and apart from our General Account. We maintain records of all
purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds.
SALES OF POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Policies may be purchased from registered representatives of W.S. Griffith &
Co., Inc. ("WSG"), a New York corporation incorporated on August 7, 1970,
licensed to sell Phoenix insurance policies as well as policies, annuity
contracts and funds of companies affiliated with Phoenix. WSG, an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix, is registered as a broker-dealer with the
SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") and is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Phoenix Equity Planning
Corporation ("PEPCO") serves as national distributor of the policies. PEPCO is
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. ("PXP")
in which Phoenix owns a majority interest.
Policies also may be purchased from other broker-dealers registered under
the 1934 Act whose representatives are authorized by applicable law to sell
policies under terms of agreements provided by PEPCO.
Sales commissions will be paid to registered representatives on purchase
payments we receive under these policies. PLAC will pay a maximum total sales
commission of 15% of premiums to PEPCO. Additionally, agents or selling brokers
may receive asset-based compensation. The maximum asset-based compensation is
0.90% of the policy value. To the extent that the sales charge under the
policies is less than the sales commissions paid with respect to the policies,
we will pay the shortfall from our General Account assets, which will include
any profits we may derive under the policies.
STATE REGULATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are subject to the provisions of the Connecticut insurance laws
applicable to stock life insurance companies and to regulation and supervision
by the Connecticut Superintendent of Insurance. We also are subject to the
applicable insurance laws of all the other states and jurisdictions in which we
do insurance business. State regulation of PLAC includes certain limitations on
the investments which we may make, including investments for the VUL Account and
the Guaranteed Interest Account. This regulation does not include, however, any
supervision over the investment policies of the VUL Account.
REPORTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All policyowners will be furnished with those reports required by the 1940
Act and related regulations or by any other applicable law or regulation.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The VUL Account is not engaged in any litigation. PLAC is not involved in
any litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet
our obligations under the policies.
LEGAL MATTERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edwin L. Kerr, Counsel of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, has
passed upon the organization of PLAC, its authority to issue variable life
insurance policies and the validity of the policy, and upon legal matters
relating to the federal securities and income tax laws for PLAC.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
income, comprehensive income and equity and cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Phoenix Life and Annuity Company at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these 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

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 provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Phoenix Life and Annuity Company (Phoenix Life and Annuity) offers various
non-participating life insurance products in the United States. On March
29, 1996, PM Holdings, Inc. acquired Savers Life Insurance Company of
America (Savers Life) from Central United Life Insurance Company (Central
United Life), renamed the acquired company Phoenix Life and Annuity Company
and redomiciled the company from Missouri to Connecticut. PM Holdings
accounted for the acquisition of Phoenix Life and Annuity under the
purchase method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of Phoenix Life
and Annuity were recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition
and goodwill associated with the acquisition was recorded. Phoenix Life and
Annuity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PM Holdings. PM Holdings is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company
(Phoenix).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in
determining insurance and contractholder liabilities, income taxes and
valuation allowances for investment assets are discussed throughout the
Notes to Financial Statements.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investments in debt securities include U.S. government and agency bonds and
corporate securities. Phoenix Life and Annuity classifies its debt security
investments as available-for-sale. These investments are reported at fair
value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity and consist of
public bonds that management may not hold until maturity. Debt securities
are considered impaired when a decline in value is considered to be other
than temporary.
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.
Unrealized investment gains and losses on debt securities
available-for-sale are included as a separate component of equity, net of
deferred income taxes.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and money market
instruments.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business acquired over
the fair value of its net assets. During 1997, Phoenix Life and Annuity
recorded a $58 thousand reduction in goodwill, representing a refund and
subsequent adjustment of a portion of the purchase price. Goodwill is
35
<PAGE>
PHOENIX LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF PM HOLDINGS, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 10 years, the
expected period of benefit from the acquisition. Management periodically
reevaluates the propriety of the carrying value of goodwill by comparing
estimates of future undiscounted cash flows to the assets. Assets are
considered impaired if carrying value exceeds the expected future
undiscounted cash flows.
POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS
Reserves for future policy benefits are liabilities for life insurance
products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the
estimated future obligations of policies in force. Liabilities for
universal life policies include deposits received from customers and
investment earnings on their fund balances, less administrative charges.
Universal life fund balances are also assessed mortality charges.
Liabilities for the 100% indemnity assumed term business include assumed
basic and deficiency reserves (see Note 7 - "Reinsurance").
PREMIUMS, INSURANCE PRODUCT FEES AND RELATED EXPENSES
Revenues for universal life products consist of net investment income and
mortality, administration and surrender charges assessed against the fund
values during the period. Related benefit expenses include universal life
benefit claims in excess of fund values and net investment income credited
to universal life fund values. Revenues for the 100% indemnity assumed term
business consist of premiums and net investment income. Related benefit
expenses include 100% of the assumed term benefit claims (see Note 7 -
"Reinsurance").
INCOME TAXES
For the tax year ended December 31, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity will
file a separate federal income tax return as required under Internal
Revenue Code Section 1504(c). Phoenix Life and Annuity was included in the
life/nonlife consolidated federal income tax return filed by Phoenix for
years 1996 through 1998.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their recorded amounts for financial
reporting purposes. These differences result primarily from policy
liabilities, goodwill, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or
losses on investments.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting,
distribution and policy issue expenses less issue year front-end loads, all
of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new
business, are deferred. Deferred policy acquisition costs are subject to
recoverability testing at the time of policy issue and loss recognition at
the end of each accounting period.
For universal life insurance policies, deferred policy acquisition costs
are amortized in proportion to total estimated gross profits over the
expected average life of the contracts using estimated gross margins
arising principally from investment, mortality and expense margins and
surrender charges based on historical and anticipated experience, updated
at the end of each accounting period.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Phoenix sponsors pension and savings plans for its employees and agents,
and those of its subsidiaries. The multi-employer qualified plans comply
with requirements established by the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) and excess benefit plans provide for that portion of
pension obligations which is in excess of amounts permitted by ERISA.
Phoenix also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
active and retired employees. Phoenix Life and Annuity incurs applicable
employee benefit expenses through the process of cost allocation by
Phoenix.
Applicable information regarding the actuarial present value of vested and
non-vested accumulated plan benefits, and the net assets of the plans
available for benefits is omitted, as the information is not separately
calculated for Phoenix Life and Annuity's participation in the plans. The
amount of such allocated benefits is not significant to the financial
statements. However, with respect to the Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance
Company employee pension plan, the total assets of the plan exceeded the
actuarial present value of vested benefits at January 1, 1999, the date of
the most recent actuarial valuation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Phoenix Life and Annuity adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of January 1, 1998. This
statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial
statements. This statement defines the components of comprehensive income
as those items that were previously reported only as components of equity
and were excluded from net income.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity adopted Statement of Position
(SOP) 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments." SOP 97-3 provides guidance for assessments
related to insurance activities. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a
material effect on the Company's results from operations or financial
position.
In 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting
Principles guidance, which will replace the current Accounting Practices
and Procedures manual as the NAIC's primary guidance on statutory
accounting. The Codification provides guidance for areas where statutory
accounting has been silent and changes current statutory accounting in some
areas, e.g., deferred income taxes are recorded.
The State of Connecticut Insurance Department has adopted the Codification
guidance, effective January 1, 2001. The Company has not estimated the
potential effect of the Codification guidance.

Gross deferred income tax assets totaled $314 thousand and $37 thousand at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross deferred income tax
liabilities totaled $41 thousand and $188 thousand at December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. It is management's assessment, based on Phoenix Life
and Annuity's earnings and projected future taxable income, that it is more
likely than not that the deferred income tax assets at December 31, 1999
and 1998, will be realized.
Phoenix Life and Annuity's income tax return is not currently being
examined; however, income tax year 1998 remains open for examination.
Management does not believe that there will be a material adverse effect on
the financial statements as a result of pending income tax matters.

reinsurance arrangement. As of December 31, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity
had approximately $149.4 million in force and $28.0 thousand of reinsurance
payable on the paid and unpaid losses of this business.
In connection with Phoenix Life and Annuity's universal life insurance
products, automatic treaties with four unaffiliated reinsurers were
established in 1999 covering 80% of the net amount at risk, on a first
dollar basis. As of December 31, 1999, Phoenix Life and Annuity had
approximately $16.1 million of net insurance in force, including $77.3
million of direct in force less $61.2 million of reinsurance ceded.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Phoenix provides services and facilities to Phoenix Life and Annuity and is
reimbursed through a cost allocation process. Investment services are
provided for a fee by a Phoenix registered investment advisor.
9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure
requirements (insurance contracts are excluded) are carried in the
financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value. The fair
values presented for certain financial instruments are estimates which, in
many cases, may differ significantly from the amounts which could be
realized upon immediate liquidation. In cases where market prices are not
available, estimates of fair value are based on discounted cash flow
analyses which utilize current interest rates for similar financial
instruments which have comparable terms and credit quality.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS, CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For these short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair
value.
DEBT SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available, or quoted
market prices of comparable instruments. Fair values of private placement
debt securities are estimated using discounted cash flows that apply
interest rates currently being offered with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality.
10. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The life insurance subsidiaries of Phoenix are required to file annual
statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting
basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities. As of December 31, 1999,
there were no material practices not prescribed by the State of Connecticut
Insurance Department.
Statutory surplus differs from equity reported in accordance with GAAP for
life insurance companies primarily because policy acquisition costs are
expensed when incurred, investment reserves are based on different
assumptions, postretirement benefit costs are based on different
assumptions and reflect a different method of adoption, life insurance
reserves are based on different assumptions and income tax expense reflects
only taxes paid or currently payable.

11. INDEMNIFICATION
In 1996, PM Holdings acquired Savers Life from Central United Life. Prior
to the acquisition, Savers Life had assumed reinsurance contracts with
three unaffiliated reinsurers. This business, assumed between 1986 and
1989, was subsequently assigned to Winterthur Life Re Insurance Company in
October 1995. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement between PM
Holdings and Central United Life, Central United Life will indemnify
Phoenix for any liability in excess of $15,000 resulting from these
reinsurance contracts.

APPENDIX B
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THESE RATES OF RETURN ARE NOT AN ESTIMATE OR GUARANTEE OF FUTURE
PERFORMANCE. THEY DO NOT ILLUSTRATE HOW ACTUAL PERFORMANCE WILL AFFECT THE
BENEFITS UNDER A POLICY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT REFLECT COST OF INSURANCE, PREMIUM
TAX CHARGES, PREMIUM SALES CHARGES AND SURRENDER CHARGES, IF APPLICABLE. FOR
THIS INFORMATION SEE APPENDIX C "ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, POLICY VALUES
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES." Performance information may be expressed as yield
and effective yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount, as yield of
the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Subaccount and as total return of
any Subaccount. Current yield for the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount
will be based on the income earned by the Subaccount over a given 7-day period
(less a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions for expenses taken during the
period) and then annualized, i.e., the income earned in the period is assumed to
be earned every seven days over a 52-week period and is stated in terms of an
annual percentage return on the investment. Effective yield is calculated
similarly but reflects the compounding effect of earnings on reinvested
dividends. Yield and effective yield reflect the mortality and expense risk
charge on the VUL Account level.
Yield calculations of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount used for
illustration purposes are based on the consideration of a hypothetical
participant's account having a balance of exactly one unit at the beginning of a
7-day period, which period will end on the date of the most recent financial
statements. The yield for the Subaccount during this 7-day period will be the
change in the value of the hypothetical participant's account's original unit.
The following is an example of this yield calculation for the Phoenix-Goodwin
Money Market Subaccount based on a 7-day period ending December 31, 1999.
Example:
Assumptions:
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly
one unit at the beginning of the period:............ $1.000000
Value of the same account (excluding capital changes)
at the end of the 7-day period:.................... 1.001003
Calculation:
Ending account value ............................... 1.001003
Less beginning account value ....................... 1.000000
Net change in account value ........................ 0.001003
Base period return:
(adjusted change/beginning account value) .......... 0.001003
Current yield = return x (365/7) = ................... 5.23%
Effective yield = [(1 + return)365/7] - 1 = .......... 5.37%
The current yield and effective yield information will fluctuate, and
publication of yield information may not provide a basis for comparison with
bank deposits, other investments which are insured and/or pay a fixed yield for
a stated period of time, or other investment companies, due to charges which
will be deducted on the VUL Account level.
For the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Subaccount, quotations of
yield will be based on all investment income per unit earned during a given
30-day period (including dividends and interest), less expenses accrued during
the period ("net investment income"), and are computed by dividing net
investment income by the maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the
period.
When a Subaccount advertises its total return, it usually will be calculated
for one year, five years, and ten years or since inception if the Subaccount has
not been in existence for at least ten years. Total return is measured by
comparing the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Subaccount at
the beginning of the relevant period to the value of the investment at the end
of the period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value
and the deduction of the mortality and expense risk, issue expense and monthly
administrative charges.
For those Subaccounts within the VUL Account that have not been available
for one of the quoted periods, the average annual total return quotations will
show the investment performance such Subaccount would have achieved (reduced by
the applicable charges) had it been available to invest in shares of the Fund
for the period quoted.

The following performance tables display historical investment results of
the Subaccounts of the VUL Account. This information may be useful in helping
potential investors in deciding which Subaccounts to choose and in assessing the
competence of the investment advisors. The performance figures shown should be
considered in light of the investment objectives and policies, characteristics
and quality of the Subaccounts and market conditions during the periods of time
quoted. The performance figures should not be considered as estimates or
predictions of future performance. Investment return of the Subaccounts are not
guaranteed and will fluctuate. Below are quotations of average annual total
return calculated as described above for all Subaccounts with at least one year
of results. POLICY CHARGES (INCLUDING COST OF INSURANCE, PREMIUM TAX CHARGES,
PREMIUM SALES CHARGES AND SURRENDER CHARGES) ARE NOT REFLECTED.

1 Returns are net of the investment management fees of the Phoenix Executive
Benefit subaccounts. Percent change does not include the effect of the
monthly administrative fees, or mortality and expense risk fees. Performance
data quoted represents the investment return of the appropriate series
adjusted for Phoenix Executive Benefit charges had the subaccount started
on the inception date of the appropriate series.
2 Because Class 2 shares were not offered until May 1, 1997 (November 10, 1998
for Mutual Shares Securities), performance shown for periods prior to that
date represent the historical results of Class 1 shares. Performance since
that date reflect Class 2's high annual fees and expenses resulting from
its Rule 12b-1 plan. Maximum annual plan expenses are 0.25%.

Advertisements, sales literature and other communications may contain
information about any series' or advisor's current investment strategies and
management style. Current strategies and style may change to respond to a
changing market and economic conditions. From time to time, the series may
discuss specific portfolio holdings or industries in such communications. To
illustrate components of overall performance, the series may separate their
cumulative and average annual returns into income results and capital gains or
losses; or cite separately, as a return figure, the equity or bond portion of a
series' portfolio; or compare a Series' equity or bond return figure to
well-known indices of market performance including, but not limited to, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500"), Dow Jones
Industrial AverageSM, First Boston High Yield Index and Salomon Brothers
Corporate and Government Bond Indices.
Occasionally, The VUL Account may include in advertisements containing total
return, the ranking of those performance figures relating to such figures for
groups of Subaccounts having similar investment objectives as categorized by
ranking services such as:
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Morningstar, Inc.
CDA Investment Technologies, Inc. Weisenberger Financial Services, Inc.
Additionally, the Funds may compare a Series' performance results to other
investment or savings vehicles (such as certificates of deposit) and may refer
to results published in various publications such as:
Changing Times Forbes
Fortune Money
Barrons Business Week
Investor's Business Daily The Wall Street Journal
The New York Times Consumer Reports
Registered Representative Financial Planning
Financial Services Weekly Financial World
U.S. News and World Report Standard & Poor's
The Outlook Personal Investor
The Funds may occasionally illustrate the benefits of tax deferral by
comparing taxable investments to investments made through tax-deferred
retirement plans. The total return also may be used to compare the performance
of a Series against certain widely acknowledged outside standards or indices for
stock and bond market performance such as:
S&P 500 Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM
Europe Australia Far East Index (EAFE) Consumers Price Index
Shearson Lehman Corporate Index Shearson Lehman T-Bond Index
The S&P 500 is a commonly quoted market value-weighted and unmanaged index
showing the changes in the aggregate market value of 500 common stocks relative
to the base period 1940-43. The S&P 500 is composed almost entirely of common
stocks of companies listed on the NYSE, although the common stocks of a few
companies listed on the American Stock Exchange or traded over the counter are
included. The 500 companies represented include 400 industrial, 60
transportation and 40 financial services concerns. The S&P 500 represents about
70-80% of the market value of all issues traded on the NYSE.
The Funds' annual reports, available upon request and without charge,
contain a discussion of the performance of the Funds and a comparison of that
performance to a securities market index.

</TABLE>
1 Performance data quoted represents the investment return of the appropriate
series adjusted for Phoenix Executive Benefit charges had the subaccount
started on the inception date of the appropriate series. The average annual
total return is the annualized compounded return that results from holding
an initial investment of $10,000 for the time period indicated. Returns are
net of investment management fees, monthly administrative fees, and the
mortality and expense risk fees. The investment return and principal value
of the variable contract will fluctuate so that the accumulated value, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
2 Because Class 2 shares were not offered until May 1, 1997 (November 10, 1998
for Mutual Shares Securities), performance shown for periods prior to that
date represent the historical results of Class 1 shares. Performance since
that date reflect Class 2's high annual fees and expenses resulting from its
Rule 12b-1 plan. Maximum annual plan expenses are 0.25%.
These rates of return are not an estimate or guarantee of future performance.

APPENDIX C
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, POLICY VALUES ("ACCOUNT VALUES")
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The tables on the following pages illustrate how a policy's death benefits,
account values and cash surrender value could vary over time assuming constant
hypothetical gross (after tax) annual investment returns of 0%, 6% and 12%. The
policy benefits will differ from those shown in the tables if the annual
investment returns are not absolutely constant. That is, the figures will be
different if the returns averaged 0%, 6% or 12% over a period of years but went
above or below those figures in individual policy years. The policy benefits
also will differ, depending on your premium allocations to each Subaccount of
the VUL Account, if the overall actual rates of return averaged 0%, 6% or 12%,
but went above or below those figures for the individual Subaccounts. The tables
are for standard risk males and females who are nonsmokers. In states where cost
of insurance rates are not based on the Insured's sex, the tables designated
"male" apply to all standard risk insureds who are nonsmokers. Account values
and cash surrender values may be lower for risk classes involving higher
mortality risk. Planned premium payments are assumed to be paid at the beginning
of each policy year.
The death benefit, account value and cash surrender value amounts reflect
the following current charges:
1. A sales charge of 5.0% of premiums up to the target premium and 0% on
amounts in excess of the target premium in policy years 1-7 and 0% of
all premiums in policy years 8+.
2. Monthly administrative charge of $5 per month ($10 per month guaranteed
maximum in all states except New York and New Jersey. In New York and
New Jersey guaranteed maximum is $7.50 per month.).
3. An average premium tax charge of 2.25%.
4. A federal tax charge of 1.5%.
5. Cost of insurance charge. The tables illustrate cost of insurance at
both the current rates and at the maximum rates guaranteed in the
policies. See "Charges under the Policy" table.
6. Mortality and expense risk charge, which is a monthly charge equivalent
to .40% on an annual basis (or .25% on an annual basis after the 10th
policy year) of your policy value. See "Charges under the Policy" table.
These illustrations also assume an average investment advisory fee of .75%
on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of each of the Series of
the Funds. They also assume other ongoing average Fund expenses of .22%. All
other Fund expenses, except capital items such as brokerage commissions, are
paid by the advisor or PLAC. Management may decide to limit the amount of
expense reimbursement in the future. If expense reimbursement had not been in
place for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, average total operating
expenses for the Series would have been approximately .97% of the average net
assets. See "Annual Fund Expenses" table.
Taking into account the investment advisory fees and expenses, the gross
annual investment return rates of 0%, 6% and 12% on the Funds' assets are
equivalent to net annual investment return rates of approximately -.97%, 5.03%
and 11.03%, respectively. For individual illustrations, interest rates ranging
between 0% and 12% may be selected in place of the 0%, 6% and 12% rates.
The hypothetical returns shown in the tables are without any tax charges
that may be attributable to the VUL Account in the future. If such tax charges
are imposed in the future, then in order to produce after tax returns equal to
those illustrated for 0%, 6% and 12%, a sufficiently higher amount in excess of
the hypothetical interest rates would have to be earned.
The second column of each table shows the amount that would accumulate if an
amount equal to the premiums paid were invested to earn interest, after taxes,
at 5% compounded annually. These tables show that if a policy is returned in its
very early years for payment of its cash surrender value, that cash surrender
value may be low in comparison to the amount of the premiums accumulated with
interest. Thus, the cost of owning a policy for a relatively short time may be
high.
On request, we will furnish the policyowner with a comparable illustration
based on the age and sex of the proposed insured person(s), standard risk
assumptions and the initial face amount and planned premium chosen.

Based on 0% interest rate and guaranteed charges, the Policy will lapse in year
29.
Death benefit, account value and Cash Surrender Value are based on hypothetical
gross interest rates shown, assume current and guaranteed charges and no Policy
loans or withdrawals, and are calculated at the end of the Policy Year. Assumed
Premium Payments shown are assumed paid in full at the beginning of the Policy
Year. Payment of premiums shown other than in full at the beginning of the
Policy Year would reduce values and benefits below the hypothetical illustrated
amounts shown. Values shown reflect an effective annual asset charge of 1.37%
(includes average fund operating expenses of .97% applicable to the investment
Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account). Hypothetical gross interest rates are
presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate funds allocated entirely
to the investment Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account and do not in any way
represent actual results or suggest that such results will be achieved in the
future. Actual values will differ from those shown whenever actual investment
results differ from hypothetical gross interest rates illustrated. A Guaranteed
Interest Account providing interest at a minimum guaranteed rate of 3% also is
available under this product through the General Account.
This illustration assumes a premium tax of 2.25%.

Death benefit, account value and Cash Surrender Value are based on hypothetical
gross interest rates shown, assume current and guaranteed charges and no Policy
loans or withdrawals, and are calculated at the end of the Policy Year. Assumed
Premium Payments shown are assumed paid in full at the beginning of the Policy
Year. Payment of premiums shown other than in full at the beginning of the
Policy Year would reduce values and benefits below the hypothetical illustrated
amounts shown. Values shown reflect an effective annual asset charge of 1.37%
(includes average fund operating expenses of .97% applicable to the investment
Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account). Hypothetical gross interest rates are
presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate funds allocated entirely
to the investment Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account and do not in any way
represent actual results or suggest that such results will be achieved in the
future. Actual values will differ from those shown whenever actual investment
results differ from hypothetical gross interest rates illustrated. A Guaranteed
Interest Account providing interest at a minimum guaranteed rate of 3% also is
available under this product through the General Account.

Based on 0% interest rate and guaranteed charges, the Policy will lapse in year
32.
Death benefit, account value and Cash Surrender Value are based on hypothetical
gross interest rates shown, assume current and guaranteed charges and no Policy
loans or withdrawals, and are calculated at the end of the Policy Year. Assumed
Premium Payments shown are assumed paid in full at the beginning of the Policy
Year. Payment of premiums shown other than in full at the beginning of the
Policy Year would reduce values and benefits below the hypothetical illustrated
amounts shown. Values shown reflect an effective annual asset charge of 1.37%
(includes average fund operating expenses of .97% applicable to the investment
Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account). Hypothetical gross interest rates are
presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate funds allocated entirely
to the investment Subaccounts of the VUL Separate Account and do not in any way
represent actual results or suggest that such results will be achieved in the
future. Actual values will differ from those shown whenever actual investment
results differ from hypothetical gross interest rates illustrated. A Guaranteed
Interest Account providing interest at a minimum guaranteed rate of 3% also is
available under this product through the General Account.
This illustration assumes a premium tax of 2.25%.
