Prospectus Dated: June , 1995
RETIREMENT PROGRAM FOR HIGHER EDUCATION -- GROUP VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
This Prospectus describes group deferred variable annuity contracts issued by
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company"). The Contracts are

and one for ongoing contributions and transferred assets under Code Section
403(b) ("403(b) Contract"). Purchase Payments received under the Contracts will
be allocated at the Participant's direction to variable funding options or to
credited interest options for accumulation of values for the Participant's
Account. Amounts allocated to the variable funding options will be deposited in
a separate account, Variable Annuity Account C, for investment in the variable
funding options. See "Contract Purchase."
This Prospectus is intended to describe the Contract provisions relating to the
variable funding options and the fees and expenses that may be charged in
connection with the Contract. Information with respect to the credited interest
options--the Guaranteed Accumulation Account and the Fixed Plus Account--is
included in Appendices I and II, respectively, to this Prospectus and in the
prospectus for the Guaranteed Accumulation Account which should accompany the
Prospectus. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account and the Fixed Plus Account are

The availability of the above Funds is subject to applicable regulatory
authorization. Not all Funds or credited interest options are available in all
jurisdictions or under all Contracts.
This Prospectus sets forth concisely the information about Variable Annuity
Account C (the "Separate Account") that a prospective investor ought to know
before investing. Additional information about the Separate Account is
contained in a Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") dated June , 1995,
which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is
incorporated herein by reference. The Table of Contents for the SAI is found in
this Prospectus. An SAI may be obtained without charge by indicating your
request on the enrollment form or by calling 1-800-525-4225.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
CONTRACTS OFFERED
The Contracts described in this Prospectus are group deferred variable annuity
contracts that allow lump-sum payments of transferred funds and installment
payments. See "Purchase--Contract Purchase," "Contract Rights" and
"Miscellaneous."
The Contract provisions described in this Prospectus apply to Plans that are
adopted by public higher education systems for their employees under Sections
401(a) and 403(b) of the Code.
PURCHASE
The Contracts may be purchased by eligible organizations on behalf of a group
made up of their employees. One or more Contracts are issued to the Contract
Holder once we receive a completed master application form(s). Eligible
employees may participate in the Contract by completing an enrollment form (and
any other required forms) and submitting it to the Company. Purchase Payments
may be made by an employee salary reduction or salary deduction (as provided
for by the Plan) or by lump sum payments from an eligible, existing plan. For
each Contract, one or more Employee Accounts will be established for
contributions made by an employee, and an Employer Account may be established
for contributions made by the employer on the employee's behalf. See
"Purchase."
REDEMPTION
You may withdraw all or a portion of the Account Value during the Accumulation
Period by properly completing the Company's disbursement form and sending it to
the Company's Home Office. Limitations apply to withdrawals from the Fixed Plus
Account. See Appendix II. A distribution can be made from the Employer Account
and certain Employee Accounts (as provided in the Plan) only if the Contract
Holder certifies in writing that you are eligible, both as to timing and form
of distribution. See "Contract Rights--Withdrawals." The Code restricts full
and partial withdrawals in certain circumstances. See "Withdrawal
Restrictions."
TAXES AND WITHHOLDING
A 10% federal tax penalty and 20% withholding for income tax may be imposed on
certain withdrawals. See "Tax Status--Contracts Used with Certain Retirement
Plans."
CONTRACT CHARGES
Certain charges are associated with these Contracts, for example, mortality and
expense risk charges, asset based sales charges and administrative expense
charges. The Funds are also subject to certain fees and expenses. Purchase
Payments may also be subject to premium taxes. See "Charges and Deductions" for
a complete explanation of these charges.
FREE LOOK PROVISION
Participants and Contract Holders have the right to cancel their Certificate or
Contract (as applicable) within 10 days after receipt (or as otherwise allowed
by state law) by returning it to the Company along with a written notice of
cancellation. Unless state law requires otherwise, the amount you will receive
on cancellation under this provision may reflect the investment performance of
the Purchase Payments deposited in the Separate Account while invested. In
certain cases, this may be less than the amount of your Purchase Payments. See
"Contract Rights--Right to Cancel."

Payments actually made to the Account. The sales charges apply during the
Accumulation Period only.
/(2)/We currently do not impose an Administrative Expense Charge. However, we
reserve the right to deduct a daily charge of not more than 0.25% per year
from the portion of Account Values held in the Separate Account. See

/(1)/Certain of the unaffiliated Fund advisers reimburse the Company for
administrative costs incurred in connection with administering the Funds as
variable funding options under the Contract. These reimbursements are paid
out of the investment advisory fees and are not charged to investors.
/(2)/A Fund's "Other Expenses" include operating costs of the fund. The
deduction of the above expenses are reflected in the Fund's net asset value
and are not deducted from the Account Value under the Contract.
/(3)/These Funds have only limited operating history; therefore the expenses are
estimated for the current fiscal year.
/(4)/The investment adviser for the Franklin Government Securities Trust has
agreed to reduce the investment advisory fee and to reimburse the Fund for
certain expenses. Without this agreement, the other expenses would be 0.63%
and total annual expenses for the Franklin Government Securities Trust
would be 0.78%.
/(5)/The expense figures shown are net of certain expense waivers from Janus
Capital Corporation. Without such waivers, Investment Advisory Fees, Other
Expenses and Total Mutual Fund Annual Expenses for the Portfolios for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 were: 1.00%, 0.28% and 1.28%,
respectively, for Janus Aspen Aggressive Growth Portfolio; and 0.65%, 0.70%
and 1.35%, respectively, for Janus Aspen Flexible Income Portfolio.
/(6)/These fees as a percentage of assets are higher than those for other
similar funds, although the amounts of the fees are not due to the limited
amount of assets in the Fund.
/(7)/Until May 1, 1995, the Portfolios had a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 which provided for the reimbursement by Neuberger & Berman Management
of certain distribution expenses, up to a maximum of 0.25% on an annual
basis of each Portfolio's average daily net assets. The "Total Annual
Expenses" shown above would be increased by 0.02% for each Portfolio if the
12b-1 fees for the months of January through April, 1995 were taken into
account.
/(8)/The Portfolio's investment adviser pays all expenses of the Portfolio
except brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the
non-interested directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary
expenses.

PERFORMANCE DATA
From time to time, the Company may advertise different types of historical
performance for the variable funding options of the Separate Account available
under the Contracts described in this Prospectus. The Company may advertise the
"standardized average annual total returns" of the variable funding options,
calculated in a manner prescribed by the SEC, as well as the "non-standardized
return." Both methods are described below. Further information is contained in
the SAI.
"Standardized average annual total returns" and "non-standardized returns" are
computed according to a formula in which a hypothetical investment of $1,000 is
applied to the variable funding options under the Contract and then related to
the ending redeemable values over the most recent one, five and ten-year
periods (or since inception if less than 10 years). Such returns will reflect
the deduction of all recurring charges during each period (e.g., mortality and
expense risk charges, asset-based sales charges and any administrative expense
charge). Non-standardized returns may also include a three-year period in
addition to the one, five and ten-year periods.
For Funds that were in existence prior to the date that the Fund became
available under the Contract, the performance data will show the investment
performance that such Fund would have achieved (reduced by the applicable
charges) had it been available under the Contract for the period quoted.
We may distribute sales literature that compares the percentage change in
Accumulation Unit values for any of the Funds to established market indexes
such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones Industrial
Average or to the percentage change in values of other management investment
companies which have investment objectives similar to the Fund being compared.
We may publish in advertisements and reports to you and to the Contract Holder
the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent
rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Duff & Phelps, Standard &
Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The purpose of the
ratings is to reflect our financial strength and/or claims-paying ability. We
may also quote ranking services such as Morningstar's Variable Annuity/Life
Performance Report and Lipper's Variable Insurance Products Performance
Analysis Service (VIPPAS), which rank variable annuity or life subaccounts or
their underlying funds by performance and/or investment objective. From time to
time, we will quote articles from newspapers and magazines or other
publications or reports, including, but not limited to The Wall Street Journal,
Money magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report.

THE COMPANY
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company, the depositor for Variable Annuity
Account C, is a stock life insurance company organized in 1976 under the
insurance laws of the State of Connecticut. As of December 31, 1994, the
Company managed over $20.4 billion of assets. As of December 31, 1993, the
Company ranked among the top 2% of all U.S. life insurance companies by size.
It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life and Casualty Company which, with
its subsidiaries, constitutes one of the nation's largest diversified
financial services organizations. The Company's Home Office is located at 151
Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C
Variable Annuity Account C is a separate account established by us in 1976
pursuant to the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut. The Separate
Account was formed for the purpose of segregating assets attributable to the
variable portions of Contracts from our other assets. The Separate Account is
registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of
1940, and meets the definition of "separate account" under the federal
securities laws.
Although the Company holds title to the assets of the Separate Account, such
assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
we may conduct. Income, gains or losses of the Separate Account are credited
to or charged against the assets of the Separate Account without regard to our
other income, gains or losses. All obligations arising under the Contracts are
our general corporate obligations.
THE FUNDS
The Contract Holder will designate some or all of the mutual funds described
below as variable funding options under the Contract. You may select one or
more of the Funds for investment of the Purchase Payments made on your behalf.
Except where noted, all of the Funds are diversified as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The availability of the Funds is subject to
applicable regulatory authorization. Not all Funds are available in all
jurisdictions or under all Contracts.
. AETNA VARIABLE FUND (sometimes called the "Growth and Income Fund") seeks
to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio
of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock.
. AETNA INCOME SHARES (sometimes called the "Bond Fund") seeks to maximize
total return, consistent with reasonable risk, through investments in a
diversified portfolio consisting primarily of debt securities.
. AETNA VARIABLE ENCORE FUND (sometimes called the "Money Market Fund")

companies offering the potential for significant price gain. It invests
at least 85% of its net assets in equity securities and at least 65% of
its net assets in equity securities of companies that, at the time of
purchase, have "total market capitalization" --present market value per
share multiplied by the total number of shares outstanding -- of less
than $1 billion. Investing in smaller companies may present risks not
present in investments in larger companies. See the Fund's prospectus for
a discussion of these risks.
. CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED BALANCED PORTFOLIO is a nondiversified
portfolio that seeks growth of capital through investment in enterprises
that make a significant contribution to society through their products
and services and through the way they do business. Prior to May 1, 1995,
the Fund was known as Calvert Socially Responsible Series.
. FRANKLIN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES TRUST seeks income through investments in
obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities,
primarily GNMA obligations.
. JANUS ASPEN SERIES -- AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO ("Janus Aspen

. JANUS ASPEN SERIES -- FLEXIBLE INCOME PORTFOLIO ("Janus Aspen Flexible
Income Portfolio") seeks to obtain maximum total return, consistent with
preservation of capital from a combination of current income and capital
appreciation. Janus Aspen Flexible Income Portfolio invests in all types
of income-producing securities and may have substantial holdings of debt
securities rated below investment grade ("high yield, high risk
securities") also commonly known as "junk bonds." High yield, high risk
securities involve certain risks. See the Fund's prospectus for a
discussion of these risks.
. LEXINGTON NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST is a nondiversified portfolio that
seeks long-term growth of capital through investment primarily in common
stocks of companies which own or develop natural resources and other
basic commodities or supply goods and services to such companies. Current
income will not be a factor. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total
assets in foreign securities. Foreign investing involves risks that
differ from those involved in domestic investing. See the Fund's
prospectus for a discussion of these risks.
. NEUBERGER & BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST -- GROWTH PORTFOLIO
("Neuberger & Berman Growth Portfolio") seeks capital growth through
investments in common stocks of companies that the investment adviser
believes will have above-average earnings or otherwise provide investors
with above-average potential for capital appreciation.
. SCUDDER VARIABLE LIFE INVESTMENT FUND -- INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
("Scudder International Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital
primarily through diversified holdings of marketable foreign equity
investments. Investing in foreign securities may involve a greater degree
of risk than investing in domestic securities. See the Fund's prospectus
for a discussion of the risks involved.
. TCI PORTFOLIOS, INC. -- TCI GROWTH (a Twentieth Century Fund) seeks
capital growth by investing in common stocks (including securities
convertible into common stocks) and other securities that meet certain
fundamental and technical standards of selection and, in the opinion of
TCI Growth's management, have better than average potential for
appreciation. TCI Growth tries to stay fully invested in such securities,
regardless of the movement of prices generally. The Fund may invest in
foreign securities. Foreign investing involves risks that differ from
those involved in domestic investing. See the Fund's prospectus for a
discussion of these risks.
There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives.
Participants bear the full investment risk of investments in the Funds
selected.
13
<PAGE>
Some of the Funds may use instruments known as derivatives as part of their
investment strategies as described in their respective prospectuses. The use of
certain derivatives such as inverse floaters and principal only debt
instruments may involve higher risk of volatility to a Fund. The use of
leverage in connection with derivatives can also increase risk of losses. See
the prospectus for the Funds for a discussion of the risks associated with an
investment in those funds.
More comprehensive information, including a discussion of potential risks, is
found in the current prospectus for each Fund which is distributed with and
must accompany this Prospectus. Contract Holders and Participants should read
the accompanying prospectuses carefully before investing. Additional
prospectuses and the Statements of Additional Information for this Prospectus
and each of the Funds can be obtained from the Company's Home Office at the
address and telephone number listed on the cover of this Prospectus.

MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING
Shares of the Funds are sold to us for funding variable annuities. The Funds
may be sold to other companies for the same purpose. This is referred to as
"shared funding." Shares of the Funds may also be used for funding variable
life insurance policies through variable life separate accounts sponsored by us
or by third parties. This is referred to as "mixed funding."
14
<PAGE>
It is conceivable that, in the future, it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate accounts and variable life separate accounts of the same or of
an unaffiliated insurance company to invest in these Funds simultaneously,
since the interests of contract holders or policy owners or insurance companies
may differ. Each Fund's Board of Trustees or Directors has agreed to monitor
events in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts which may
possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in
response thereto. If such a conflict were to occur, one of the separate
accounts might withdraw its investment in a Fund. This might force that Fund to
sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices.
FUND ADDITIONS, SUBSTITUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
We may, from time to time, add additional mutual funds as eligible variable
funding options under the Contracts. In such event, you may be permitted to
select from these other funds, subject to any conditions that may be imposed in
connection with those options. No more than 18 different choices of investment
options may be made over the life of the Account. See "Transfers and Allocation
Changes."
The Company's current policy is to allow only Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna Income
Shares and Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc. to be used as variable
investment options during the Annuity Period. See "Annuity Period Elections."
The Contract Holder may decide to offer only a select number of Funds as
funding options under its Plan, or may decide to substitute shares of one Fund
for shares of another Fund currently held by the Separate Account.
PURCHASE
CONTRACT PURCHASE
An organization eligible to establish a retirement program for higher education
may acquire both types of group Contracts for its Plan(s) by filling out the
appropriate master application form(s) and returning it to the Company or to a
Distributor for delivery to the Company. Once we approve the application, the
Contracts will be issued to the organization as Contract Holder.
Individuals who want to purchase an interest in the Contract(s) as part of the
group will fill out an enrollment form and return it to the Company or to a
Distributor for delivery to the Company for review, acceptance or rejection.
The Company must accept or reject an application or enrollment form within two
business days of its receipt. If the application or enrollment form is
incomplete, the Company may hold it and any accompanying Purchase Payment for
five days. Purchase Payments may be held for longer periods only with the
consent of the Contract Holder or Participant, pending acceptance of the
application or enrollment form. If the application or enrollment form is
accepted, a Contract will be issued to the Contract Holder or the Purchase
Payment will be accepted. Any Purchase Payment accompanying the application or
enrollment form or received prior to acceptance of the application or
enrollment form, will be invested as of the date of acceptance. If the
application or enrollment form is rejected, the application or enrollment form
and any Purchase Payments will be returned to the Contract Holder. Initial
payments held for longer than the five business days will be deposited in the
Aetna Variable Encore Fund until the forms are completed.
For each Contract, one or more Employee Accounts will be established for
contributions made by an employee, and an Employer Account may be established
for contributions made by the employer on the employee's behalf. Lump-sum
transfers to us of amounts accumulated under a preexisting Plan are permitted
and can be added to your Account. There is currently no minimum amount for
lump-sum payments; however, we reserve the right to set such a minimum in the
future. The Contract Holder or
15
<PAGE>
Participant may cancel the Contract within 10 days after receiving the Contract
or Certificate. See "Right to Cancel."
The Code imposes a maximum limit on annual Purchase Payments. For the 401(a)
Contract, the limit must be calculated in accordance with Section 415 of the
Code. For the 403(b) Contract such limit must be calculated in accordance with
Sections 403(b), 415 and 402(g) of the Code. In addition, the Plan must meet
applicable Code nondiscrimination requirements. It is the Contract Holder's
responsibility to determine compliance with these requirements and other
provisions of the Plan.
NET PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Each Purchase Payment is forwarded to us through a Distributor and, to the
extent it is to be accumulated on a variable basis, is placed in the Separate
Account and credited to your Account.
You may elect to have the Net Purchase Payment(s) accumulate (a) on a variable
basis by allocation to one or more of the available Funds; (b) on a fixed basis
under GAA or the Fixed Plus Account; or (c) in a combination of any of the
available investment options. The Net Purchase Payment(s) must be allocated to
the options in terms of whole percentages.
Under the Contract, you may elect to change the allocation of future Net
Purchase Payments to any mode of accumulation described above.
DISTRIBUTION
The Company will serve as Underwriter for the securities sold by this
Prospectus. The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD). As Underwriter, the Company will contract with
one or more registered broker-dealers ("Distributors"), including at least one
affiliate of the Company, to offer and sell the Contracts. All persons offering
and selling the Contracts must be registered representatives of the
Distributors and must also be licensed as insurance agents to sell Variable
Annuity Contracts. These registered representatives may also provide services
to Participants in connection with establishing their Accounts under the
Contract.
Persons offering and selling the Contracts may receive commissions in
connection with the sale of the Contracts. The maximum percentage amount that
the Company will ever pay as commission with respect to any given Purchase
Payment is with respect to those made during the first year of Purchase
Payments under a Certificate. That percentage amount will range from 1% to 3%
of those Purchase Payments. The Company may also pay renewal commissions on
Purchase Payments made after the first year and asset-based service fees. The
average of all payments made by the Company is estimated to equal approximately
3% of the total Purchase Payments made over the life of an average Contract.
The Company may also reimburse the Distributor for certain actual expenses. The
name of the Distributor and the registered representative responsible for your
Account are set forth on your enrollment form. Commissions and sales related
expenses are paid by the Company and are not deducted from Purchase Payments.
See "Charges and Deductions--Asset Based Sales Charge."
Occasionally, we may pay commissions and fees to Distributors which are
affiliated or associated with the Contract Holder or the Participants. We may
also enter into agreements with some entities associated with the Contract
Holder or Participants in which we would agree to pay the association for
certain services in connection with administering the Contracts. In both these
circumstances there may be an understanding that the Distributor or association
would endorse the Company as a provider of the Contract. You will be notified
if you are purchasing a Contract that is subject to these arrangements.

DETERMINING CONTRACT VALUE
ACCUMULATION UNITS
A Purchase Payment that is directed to one or more of the Funds is deposited in
the Separate Account and credited to the Account in the form of Accumulation
Units for each Fund selected. The number of Accumulation Units credited is
determined by dividing the applicable portion of the Purchase Payment by that
Contract's Accumulation Unit value of the appropriate Fund. The Accumulation
Unit value used is that next-computed following the date on which a Purchase
Payment is received, unless the application has not been accepted. In that
event, Purchase Payments will be credited at the Accumulation Unit Value next
determined after acceptance of the application. Shares of the Funds are
purchased by the Separate Account at the net asset value next determined by the
Fund following receipt of Purchase Payments by the Separate Account. The value
of Accumulation Units attributable to the Funds will be affected by the
investment performance, expenses and charges of those Funds. Generally, if the
net asset value of the Fund increases, so does the Accumulation Unit Value;
however, performance of the Separate Account is reduced by charges and
deductions under the Contract.
Accumulation Units are valued separately for each Fund. Therefore, if you elect
to have a Purchase Payment invested in a combination of Funds, you will have
Accumulation Units credited from more than one source. The value of your
Account as of the most recent Valuation Period, is determined by adding the
value of any Accumulation Units attributed to the Fund(s) you have selected to
the value of any amounts invested in the Fixed Plus Account and in GAA.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The value of an Accumulation Unit for any Valuation Period is calculated by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation
Period by the net investment factor of the appropriate investment option for
the current period.
The net investment factor is calculated separately for each Fund in which
assets of the Separate Account are invested. It is determined by adding
1.0000000 to the net investment rate.
The net investment rate equals (a) the net assets of the Fund held by the
Separate Account at the end of a Valuation Period, minus (b) the net assets of
the Fund held by the Separate Account at the beginning of a Valuation Period,
plus or minus (c) taxes or provision for taxes, if any, attributable to the
operation of the Separate Account, divided by (d) the value of the Fund's
Accumulation and Annuity Units held by the Separate Account at the beginning of
the Valuation Period, minus (e) a daily charge at an annual effective rate of
1.25% for the Annuity mortality and expense risks; an asset based sales charge
at an annual effective rate of 0.15% and a daily administrative expense charge
that will not exceed 0.25% (0% through April 30, 1996) on an annual effective
basis. The net investment rate may be more or less than zero.
CONTRACT RIGHTS
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You or the Contract Holder may cancel participation under the Contract no later
than 10 days (or as otherwise allowed by state law) after receiving the
Certificate or Contract by returning it to us along with a written notice of
cancellation. We will produce a refund not later than seven days after we
receive the certificate or Contract and the written notice at our Home Office.
Unless the applicable state law requires a refund of Purchase Payment(s) only,
we will refund the Purchase Payment(s) to the Contract Holder plus any increase
or minus any decrease in the value of any Purchase Payments allocated to the
variable option(s).
17
<PAGE>
RIGHTS UNDER THE CONTRACT
You have a nonforfeitable right to the value of your Employee Account. You have
a nonforfeitable right to the value of your Employer Account to the extent of
your vested percentage under the Plan as interpreted by the Contract Holder.
You may select the investment options for your Employer Account and your
Employee Account. You may elect an Annuity option for your Account Value;
however, for Employer and certain Employee Accounts (as provided in the Plan),
the Contract Holder must certify that you are eligible for a distribution and
that the form of Annuity is permitted under the terms of the Plan. The
Contracts and Accounts are not subject to claims of any creditors of the
Contract Holder.
TRANSFERS AND ALLOCATION CHANGES
During each calendar year, you may change the allocation of future Net Purchase
Payments among the allowable investment options. Unlimited allocation changes
are allowed.
You may also make any number of transfers of not less than $500 among the
available Funds or from any of the Funds to GAA and the Fixed Plus Account
during the calendar year, without charge. You may not make allocations or
transfers, however, to new funding options if the total number of funding
options you have selected would exceed 18, since the time you acquired an
interest in the Contract. Each variable funding option, the Fixed Plus Account,
and each guaranteed term of GAA selected counts as one option, even if you no
longer have Funds allocated to that option.
Any transfer will be based on the Accumulation Unit value next determined after
we receive a valid request at our Home Office. See Appendix I and II for more
information on transfers from GAA and the Fixed Plus Account options.
During the Annuity Period, transfers of accumulated value are not available.
WITHDRAWALS
Subject to restrictions on withdrawals from 403(b) Accounts under "Withdrawal
Restrictions," you may withdraw all or a portion of an Account Value during the
Accumulation Period. For Employer and certain Employee Accounts (as provided in
the Plan), the Contract Holder must certify in writing that you are eligible,
both as to the timing and form of distribution. To do so, you must complete a
disbursement form and send it to our Home Office. Disbursement forms are
available from us and our representatives. Withdrawals may be requested in one
of the following ways:
. Full withdrawal of an Account: The amount paid will be the full value of
the Funds and GAA (plus or minus the Market Value Adjustment) plus one
fifth of the amount held in the Fixed Plus Account*, minus any Fixed Plus
Account withdrawals, transfers, annuitizations or loans made during the
prior 12 months.
. Partial Withdrawal (Percentage): The amount paid will be the percentage
of the Account Value requested. Amounts withdrawn from GAA may be subject
to a market value adjustment. However, amounts withdrawn from the Fixed
Plus Account may not exceed 20% minus any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals,
transfers, annuitizations or loans in the prior 12 months.
. Partial Withdrawal (Specific Dollar Amount): The amount paid will be the
dollar amount requested. However, amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Plus
Account may not exceed 20% minus any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals,
transfers, annuitizations or loans in the prior 12 months.
*The balance of the amount held in the Fixed Plus Account will be paid in four
annual installments. If the withdrawal is due to death, annuitization, or meets
certain other qualifications, the entire amount held in the Fixed Plus Account
will be paid in one lump sum (or used to provide Annuity payments) rather than
in annual installments. If the withdrawal is due to separation from service
with the Contract Holder, the entire amount may be paid in one sum, subject to
a charge of 3% of the amount held on your behalf in the Fixed Plus Account. The
withdrawal request must be received within 60 days of your
18
<PAGE>
separation from service. The Contract Holder must certify that you have
separated from service and, for any amounts distributed from the Employee and
Employer Accounts, that you are eligible to receive a lump sum distribution.
See Appendix II for more information.
Taxes may be due on any amounts withdrawn. See "Tax Status--Contracts Used
with Certain Retirement Plans."
All amounts paid will be based on Account Values as of the end of the
Valuation Period the request is received in good order in the Home Office or
such later date as the request form may specify. For any partial withdrawal,
unless requested otherwise by you, the value of the Accumulation Units
cancelled will be withdrawn proportionately from each investment option used
under the Account.
Payments for withdrawal requests (subject to the above limitations on
withdrawals from the Fixed Plus Account) will be made in accordance with SEC
requirements, but normally not later than seven calendar days after a properly
completed disbursement form is received at our Home Office or within seven
calendar days of the date the disbursement form may specify. Payments may be
delayed for: (a) any period in which the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange")
is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings) or in which
trading on the Exchange is restricted; (b) any period in which an emergency
exists where disposal of securities held by the funds is not reasonably
practicable or where it is not reasonably practicable for the value of the
assets of the Funds to be fairly determined; or (c) such other periods as the
SEC may by order permit for the protection of Contract Holders and
Participants. The conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency
exists shall be determined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS
The Code imposes restrictions on full or partial withdrawals from Accounts
under the 403(b) Contract attributable to Purchase Payments made on or after
January 1, 1989 under a salary reduction agreement, and to any earnings on the
Account attributable to salary reduction contributions credited on and after
January 1, 1989. Withdrawals of these amounts are allowed only if you have (a)
died, (b) become disabled, as defined in the Code, (c) attained age 59 1/2, or
(d) separated from service. Withdrawals are also allowed if you can show
"hardship," as defined by the IRS, but the withdrawal is limited to the lesser
of Purchase Payments attributable to Participant salary reduction
contributions made on or after January 1, 1989 or the amount necessary to
relieve the hardship. Even if a withdrawal is permitted under these
provisions, a 10% federal penalty tax may be assessed on the amount paid to
you if it does not otherwise meet the exceptions to the penalty tax
provisions. See "Tax Status--Contracts Used with Certain Retirement Plans."
The Contract Holder must certify in writing that one of these conditions has
been met before a payment will be made.
There are no Code restrictions on the Employee Account cash value under the
403(b) Contract attributable to salary reduction contributions as of December
31, 1988 (the "grandfathered" amount). Although the Code withdrawal
restrictions do not apply to this amount, a 10% federal penalty tax may be
assessed on the amount paid to you if it does not otherwise meet the
exceptions to the penalty tax provisions. See "Tax Status--Contracts Used with
Certain Retirement Plans."
We believe that the Code withdrawal restrictions do not apply to tax-free
transfers pursuant to Revenue Ruling 90-24. We further believe that the
withdrawal restrictions will not apply to any "grandfathered" amount which is
transferred pursuant to Revenue Ruling 90-24 into another 403(b) Contract.
Revenue Ruling 90-24 provides that a direct transfer from one 403(b)
investment to another 403(b) investment is not a distribution and is not
taxable if, after the transfer, the transferred funds continue to be subject
to the same or more stringent distribution requirements.
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE
You may elect to reinstate all or a portion of the proceeds received for the
full withdrawal of an Account within 30 days after such withdrawal.
Accumulation Units will be credited to the Account for the amount reinvested.
Such reinvested amounts will be reallocated to the applicable investment
options in the same
19
<PAGE>
proportion as they were allocated at the time of withdrawal. The number of
Accumulation Units credited will be based upon the Accumulation Unit value(s)
next computed following receipt at our Home Office of the reinvestment request
along with the amount to be reinvested. The reinvestment privilege may be used
only once for a Account. If you are contemplating reinstatement, you should
seek competent advice regarding the tax consequences associated with such a
transaction.
CONTRACT LOANS
If allowed by the Plan, during the Accumulation Period, the Participant may
request a loan from his or her Employee Account by submitting a loan request
form. Under some Plans, loans may also be allowed from the vested portion of
the Employer Account. The loan effective date is the date on which the Company
receives a loan request form in good order at its Home Office. A loan will not
be allowed within 12 months of the effective date of any prior loan. The
combined current value of all Accounts from which loans may be taken must be
at least $2,000 and the minimum loan amount is $1,000. A loan that meets
provisions set forth in Code Section 72(p) is not considered a taxable
distribution.
The amount available for a loan is calculated based on the current value of
the Account(s) from which loans may be taken. The loan amount is limited to
the lesser of: (1) 50% of the vested current value of the Accounts on the date
the loan is made; or (2) $50,000 reduced by the amount of the highest
outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 month period that ends on the
day before the current loan is made.
When the loan is made, only amounts in the Funds and Fixed Plus Account may be
withdrawn and transferred to the Loan Account. The amounts will be withdrawn
in the same proportion as the vested current value of the Accounts is divided
between the Fixed Plus Account and/or Funds on the loan's effective date. If
the amount of the loan requested would require the proportionate amount
transferred from the Fixed Plus Account to exceed the amount that would be
allowed under the 20% limit, the Participant may transfer an additional amount
from the Fixed Plus Account. The additional amount will be limited and will
never exceed 50% of the Fixed Plus Account value on the effective date of the
loan, minus any previous partial withdrawal or transfer during the 12-month
period, which the loan becomes effective. The Company reserves the right to
change the maximum percentage a Participant can transfer from the Fixed Plus
Account for the purpose of taking a loan. If the amount needed to make the
loan exceeds the Fixed Plus Account transfer limit, the additional amount will
be withdrawn proportionately from the Funds. The Company will record the
percentage by which any amount withdrawn from the Fixed Plus Account exceeds
the 20% transfer limit described in Appendix II. The percentage will equal the
amount transferred from the Fixed Plus Account that exceeds the 20% withdrawal
limit divided by the total amount of the loan. In the event of a loan payment
default, this percentage will be used to calculate the penalty that would be
applied as described below.
The loan interest rate will be 5%. Interest on the Loan Account balance will
be calculated daily at a rate to yield an effective annual rate of 3%.
Interest will be credited quarterly based on the loan's effective date and
credited to the Funds and/or Fixed Plus Account in the same proportion in
which the loan amount was withdrawn. Principal and interest on loans is
amortized in quarterly payments over a one to five year term. The Participant
chooses the number of years. An exception applies to loans taken for the
acquisition of the Participant's principal residence. Loans for this purpose
can be amortized quarterly over a one to 20 year term, as elected by the
Participant. The Participant must certify in writing that a loan is for the
purchase of a principal residence. The term of the loan, elected by the
Participant, must result in full repayment by no later than December 31 of the
calendar year prior to the calendar year during which the Participant reaches
age 70 1/2.
The entire Loan Account balance may be paid in full at any time. The
Participant will be billed for any loan interest accrued to the date the
payment is received. The Company will consider the loan paid when the interest
amount is received.
20
<PAGE>
A bill in the amount of the quarterly payment due will be mailed to the
Participant in advance of the due date. The first due date is three months from
the loan's effective date and quarterly thereafter. A loan payment will be in
default if it is not received by the Company at its Home Office by the due
date. The principal portion of each loan payment will be credited to the Fixed
Plus Account and/or the Funds in the same proportion in which the loan amount
was withdrawn. The Loan Account will then be reduced by the principal portion
of the payment.
If a payment is in default, a partial withdrawal in an amount equal to the
payment due will be deducted from the Account at the close of business on the
due date. Payments that are less than the amount due will be returned and if
the full payment is not received by the due date, the payment will be in
default. The required amount will be withdrawn from the Fixed Plus Account
and/or the Funds in the same proportion in which the loan amount was withdrawn.
This amount will be applied as a loan payment as set forth above. The Company
will report to the IRS the amount withdrawn to pay the default and such amount
may be subject to the federal penalty tax (see "Tax Status"). In addition, if
the amount withdrawn from the Fixed Plus Account to make the loan exceeded the
20% annual withdrawal limitation described in Appendix II, a 5% charge will be
assessed on the same percentage of the defaulted payment. For example, if 60%
of the amount withdrawn was in excess of the limit, then 60% of the amount
withdrawn for the defaulted payment will be subject to the additional 5%
charge.
If a Participant makes a payment that is more than the billed amount, the
excess will be credited to the Fixed Plus Account and/or the Funds in the same
proportion in which the loan amount was withdrawn. The Loan Account will be
reduced by the additional amount. On the subsequent loan anniversary date,
future payments will be recalculated to reflect the additional principal
payment so that the outstanding loan balance is amortized in equal quarterly
payments over the remaining loan term.
Upon the election of an Annuity option or at the Participant's death, or if the
Participant makes a full withdrawal of his or her Account Values any Loan
Account will be cancelled. This will result in a taxable distribution of an
amount equal to the Loan Account balance and such amount may be subject to a
10% federal penalty tax. Interest earned but not yet credited will be credited
to, and loan interest accrued but not paid will be deducted from, the Account
Value in the same proportion in which the loan amount was withdrawn.
The Company has developed and plans to install a new loan provision before May
1996 subject to state insurance department approvals. If the loan provision in
your Contract is changed, you will be notified. The difference between the rate
charged and the rate credited on the loaned amounts will not be more than 2%.
Default under the new loan provision will occur if two payments are missed.
Once a loan is in default the outstanding loan balance will be reported to the
IRS and due but unpaid interest will be reported to the IRS on an annual basis
until a distributable event occurs and we are able to close out the loan
record. Once the loan is in default but before a distributable event occurs,
there will be a $50 annual loan fee charged for ongoing recordkeeping.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
This section describes the maximum Contract charges which we may deduct for
administrative expenses and sales-related expenses. A description of mortality
and expense risk charges and Fund expenses is also included.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES
We make a daily deduction from the Separate Account for mortality and expense
risks (insurance charges). The deduction, made as part of the calculation of
Accumulation and Annuity Unit value(s), is equivalent to 1.25% per year.
21
<PAGE>
The mortality risk charge is to compensate us for the risk we assume when we
promise to continue making payments for the lives of individual Annuitants
according to Annuity rates specified in the Contract at issue. The expense risk
charge is to compensate us for the risk that actual expenses for costs incurred
under the Contract will exceed the maximum costs that can be charged under the
Contract. We hope to profit from the daily deduction for mortality and expense
risks. Any such profit, as well as any other profit realized by us and held in
the general account (which supports insurance and Annuity obligations), would
be available for any proper corporate purpose, including, but not limited to,
payment of sales-related expenses. During 1994, we received $59,320,898 for
mortality and expense risks from Contracts funded through the Separate Account.
ASSET BASED SALES CHARGE
There are no deductions from Purchase Payments for sales commissions or related
expenses. Sales commissions and expenses are advanced by the Company and
recovered out of an asset based sales charge that is deducted from the Account
in an amount that equals 0.15% on an annual basis. The deduction is made on
amounts held in variable options during the Accumulation Period only. We will
monitor the deductions applicable to each Account for the total sales charges
to ensure they will never exceed 8.5% of the total Purchase Payments actually
made to the Account.
If the asset based sales charges are insufficient to recover sales commissions,
such commissions would be recovered out of the Company's profits from
investment activities, including the mortality and expense risk charges under
the Contract. For sales commissions paid in connection with the sale of the
Contracts, see "Purchase--Distribution."
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We reserve the right to deduct a daily charge of not more than 0.25% per year
from the Separate Account to reimburse us for expenses we incur for
administering the Contract. This charge will be established by us on an annual
basis effective each May 1 and continue until April 30 of the following year.
During the Accumulation Period, the charge may fluctuate annually. Once an
Annuity option is elected, the charge will be established and will be effective
during the entire Annuity Period.
Through April 30, 1996, we have established the charge to be zero. Since the
administrative expense charge is a percentage of the variable portion of
Contract values, there may be no relationship between the amount so deducted
and the amount of expenses attributable to the Contract. We do not intend to
profit from this charge.
FUND EXPENSES
Each Fund has an investment adviser. An investment advisory fee, based on the
Fund's average net assets, is deducted from the assets of each Fund and paid to
the investment adviser.
Most expenses incurred in the operations of the Funds are borne by that Fund.
Fund advisers may reimburse the Funds they advise for some or all of these
expenses. For further details on each Fund's expenses, Contract Holders and
Participants should read the accompanying prospectus for each Fund and refer to
the Fee Table in this Prospectus.
PREMIUM TAX
Several states and municipalities impose a premium tax on Annuities either when
Purchase Payments are made or when an Annuity option is elected. Such taxes
range up to 4%. Ordinarily, in states that do impose a premium tax, it would be
deducted from the amount applied to an Annuity option. However, we reserve the
right to deduct a state premium tax from the Purchase Payment(s) or from the
Account value at any time, but no earlier than when we have a tax liability
under state law.
22
<PAGE>
Any municipal premium tax assessed at a rate in excess of 1% will be deducted
from the Purchase Payment(s) or from the amount applied to an Annuity option
based upon our determination of when such tax is due. We will absorb any
municipal premium tax that is assessed at 1% or less. We reserve the right,
however, to reflect this added expense in our Annuity purchase rates for
residents of such municipalities.
ADDITIONAL WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS
GENERAL
We offer two additional withdrawal options that are not considered Annuity
options: the Estate Conservation Option ("ECO") and the Systematic Withdrawal
Option ("SWO"). These options are available if your Account value is at least
$25,000 at the time of election and are available at certain ages as described
below. For your Employee and Employer Accounts, the Contract Holder must
provide us written certification that the distribution is in accordance with
the terms of the Plan. Under SWO, you receive a series of partial withdrawals
from your Account based on a payment method you select. It is designed for
those who want a periodic income while retaining investment flexibility for
amounts accumulating under the contract. ECO offers the same investment
flexibility as SWO, but is designed for those who want to receive only the
minimum distribution that the code requires each year. Under ECO, the Company
calculates the minimum distribution waived by law and pays you that amount once
a year.
Since ECO and SWO are not Annuity options, the Account remains in the
Accumulation Period, retains all the rights and flexibility described in this
Prospectus, and is subject to all other Contract charges. The value of the
Accumulation Units cancelled will be withdrawn proportionately from the
investment options used under the Account. We reserve the right to discontinue
the availability of these withdrawal options and to change the terms for future
elections.
Once elected, you may revoke the applicable option(s) at any time, by
submitting a written request to the Home Office. Any revocation will apply only
to the amounts not yet paid. Once ECO or SWO is revoked, it may not be elected
again.
We do not allow simultaneous Contract loans and SWO payments; therefore, SWO
cannot be elected if a loan is outstanding under an Account. If a Participant
elects a loan while receiving payments under SWO, the Company will
automatically cancel future SWO payments.
SWO is different from ECO in the following ways: (1) SWO payments are made for
a fixed dollar amount, fixed time period, or fixed percentage, whereas ECO
payments vary in dollar amount and can continue indefinitely during the
Participant's lifetime, and (2) generally, SWO payments will be higher than
expected ECO payments. You should carefully assess your future income needs
when considering the election of these distribution options.
You should consult your tax advisor prior to requesting the election of these
options due to the potential for adverse tax consequences.
ESTATE CONSERVATION OPTION
The first ECO distribution may not be made before the calendar year in which
you attain age 70 1/2 or retire, if later. We will calculate and distribute an
annual amount using a method contained in the Code's minimum distribution
regulations. The annual distribution is determined by dividing the value of the
Account by a life expectancy factor. The factor will be based on either your
life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of you and the Beneficiary, as
selected by you, and based on tables in IRS regulations. If ECO is based on
your life expectancy only, the full Account Value must be distributed in the
year following your death, as required by current IRS regulations. Factors will
be redetermined for each year's distribution. The value of the Account to be
used in this calculation is the value on the
23
<PAGE>
December 31st prior to the year for which payment is being made. This
calculation will be changed, if necessary, to conform to changes in the Code or
applicable regulations.
An exception is made if we maintain a separate record of your 403(b) Account
value as of December 31, 1986 and you have retired. In this instance, payments
made in or after the year age 70 1/2 was attained (or retirement, if later) but
before the age 75 is attained will only be calculated on amounts contributed
after December 31, 1986 and any earnings after that date. This exception will
not apply if you have received any distribution from your 403(b) Account value,
other than distribution amounts required under Code minimum distribution
requirements.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION
The first SWO distribution may not be made before you attain age 59 1/2 (55 if
separated from service with the employer at or after 55). SWO payments are
available monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. No election may be made
that would result in a payment of less than $250.
One of the following distribution methods may be elected:
(a) Specified Payment -- payments of a designated amount. The annual dollar
amount chosen cannot be greater than 20% of the Account Value applied
to SWO. The specified payment amount will remain constant unless a
higher amount is required under the Code minimum distribution
requirements. Each year that the Specified Payment is in effect, we
will calculate the minimum required distribution under the Code. The
specified payment minimum distribution is determined by dividing the
value of the Account by the life expectancy factor. The value of the
Account to be used in this calculation is the value on the December
31st prior to the year for which the payment is being made. If the
dollar amount chosen is less than the Code's minimum distribution, we
pay the minimum distribution amount.
(b) Specified Period -- payments for a designated time period. The
specified period must be at least 5 years but not greater than your
life expectancy factor. Each annual distribution is determined by
dividing the Account Value by the number of years remaining in the
elected period. The value to be used in this calculation is the value
on the December 31st prior to the year for which the payment is being
made. For payments made more often than annually, the annual payment
result (calculated above) is divided by the number of payments due each
year.
(c) Specified Percentage -- payments of a designated percentage. The
specified percentage chosen cannot be greater than 20% of the amount
applied to SWO. You may change the specified percentage elected every
six months. Each annual distribution is determined by multiplying the
Account value by the percentage chosen. The value to be used in this
calculation is the value on the December 31st prior to the year for
which the payment is being made. For payments made more often than
annually, the annual payment result (calculated above) is divided by
the number of the payments due each year. Payments will be made each
year until the year during which you attain age 70 1/2.
A life expectancy factor from tables designated by the IRS will be used to
determine the minimum distribution amounts required. The factor will be based
on either your life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of you and your
designated Beneficiary. Factors will be reduced by one for each distribution
year.
ANNUITY PERIOD
ANNUITY PERIOD ELECTIONS
You must notify us in writing of the Annuity start date and Annuity option
elected (for details, see the Statement of Additional Information). Until a
date and option are elected, the Employer Account and
24
<PAGE>
the Employee Account will continue in the Accumulation Period. For the Employer
and certain Employee Accounts, the Contract Holder must provide written
certification that the distribution is in accordance with the terms of the Plan
(see "Rights Under the Contract").
You must give us written notice to us at least 30 days before Annuity payments
begin, electing or changing (a) the date on which Annuity payments are to
begin, (b) the Annuity option, (c) whether the payments are to be made monthly,
quarterly, semiannually or annually, and (d) the investment option(s) used to
provide Annuity payments (i.e., a fixed annuity using the general account,
Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares, Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc.,
or any combination thereof). No other variable Funds may currently be used as
investment options during the Annuity Period. Once Annuity Payments begin the
Annuity Option may not be changed, nor may transfers be made among funding
options.
If Annuity payments are to be made on a variable basis, the first and
subsequent payments will vary depending on the assumed net investment rate (3
1/2% per year, unless a 5% annual rate is elected). Selection of a 5% rate
causes a higher first payment, but Annuity payments will increase thereafter
only to the extent the net investment rate increases by more than 5% annually
on an annualized basis. Annuity payments would decline if the rate failed to
increase by 5%. Use of the 3 1/2% assumed rate causes a lower first payment,
but subsequent payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as
changes occur in the net investment rate.
No election may be made that would result in a first Annuity payment of less
than $20 or total yearly Annuity payments of less than $100. If the value of
the Account is insufficient to provide the minimum amount specified, a lump-sum
payment must be elected.
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code has required minimum distribution rules for
403(b) and 401(a) Plans. Under such rules, generally for 403(b) Plans,
distributions of the Employee and Employer Accounts values attributable to
contributions made on and after January 1, 1987 and any of the earnings on the
entire Employee and Employer Accounts after that date must begin by April 1 of
the calendar year following the year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or retire,
whichever occurs later. Distributions of the Accounts values as of December 31,
1986 must generally begin by age 75. For 401(a) Plans, distributions of the
Account values must begin by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in
which the Participant turns age 70 1/2 or retires, if later. In addition,
distributions must be in a form and amount sufficient to satisfy the Code
requirements.
To satisfy the minimum distribution rules, annuity payments may not extend
beyond (a) your life, (b) the joint lives of you and the Beneficiary, (c) a
period certain greater than your life expectancy, or (d) a period certain
greater than the joint life expectancies of you and the Beneficiary.
In determining the amount of benefit payments, the minimum distribution
incidental death benefit rule described in IRS regulations* must be satisfied.
This distribution rule does not apply if the Annuity options under (b) below
are elected with the spouse as sole beneficiary. See "Annuity Options."
A 50% federal penalty tax will be assessed on the difference between the amount
required to be distributed each year under the minimum distribution rules
described above and the amount actually distributed.
*This rule assures that any death benefits payable under the Plan are inciden-
tal to the primary purpose of the Plan, which is to provide retirement benefits
to the Participant. The amount to be distributed under this rule is determined
based on the Participant's age and tables contained in the IRS regulations.
25
<PAGE>
ANNUITY OPTIONS
LIFETIME:
(a) Life Annuity -- an Annuity will be paid for the life of the Annuitant.
This option may also be elected with payments guaranteed for 5, 10, 15
or 20 years. Because it provides a specified minimum number of Annuity
payments, the election of a guaranteed payment period results in
somewhat lower payments.
(b) Life Income Based Upon the Lives of Two Payees--An Annuity will be paid
during the lives of the Annuitant and a second Annuitant. Payments will
continue until both Annuitants have died. When this option is chosen, a
choice must be made of:
(i) 100% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(ii) 66 2/3% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(iii) 50% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(iv) Payments for a minimum of 120 months, with 50% of the payment to
continue after the first death; or
(v) 100% of the payment to continue at the death of the second
Annuitant and 50% of the payment to continue at the death of the
Annuitant;
Because (iv) provides a specified minimum number of Annuity payments,
the election of the guaranteed payment period results in somewhat lower
payments.
Payments under any lifetime Annuity option will be determined without regard to
the sex of the Annuitant(s). Such Annuity payments will be based solely on the
age of the Annuitant(s).
If a lifetime option is elected without a guaranteed minimum payment period, it
is possible that only one Annuity payment will be made if the Annuitant under
(a), or the surviving Annuitant under (b) (i), (ii), (iii) or (v), should die
before the due date of the second Annuity payment.
Once lifetime Annuity payments begin, you can not elect to receive a lump-sum
settlement.
NONLIFETIME:
Payments for a Specified Period of Time -- an Annuity with payments to be
made for five to thirty years, as selected. For amounts allocated to the
Funds or the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, the Annuity may be a fixed or
variable annuity. For amounts allocated to the Fixed Plus Account, the
Annuity must be a fixed annuity. If this option is elected on a variable
basis, you may request at any time during the payment period that the
present value of all or any portion of the remaining variable payments be
paid in one sum. This option is not available on a variable basis under a
Contract which provides for immediate Annuity benefits.
We make a daily deduction for mortality and expense risks from any Contract
values held on a variable basis. See "Charges and Deductions." Therefore,
electing the nonlifetime option on a variable basis will result in a deduction
being made even though we assume no mortality risk.
In addition to the Annuity options described above, we may make optional
methods of payment available to Contract Holders and other payees.
DEATH BENEFIT
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
A portion or all of any death proceeds may be (a) paid to the Beneficiary in a
lump sum; (b) applied under any of the Annuity Options; (c) subject to
applicable provisions of the Code, left in the variable investment options or
credited interest options; or (d) subject to applicable provisions of the Code,
left
26
<PAGE>
on deposit in our general account with the Beneficiary electing to receive
monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual interest payments at the interest
rate then currently being credited on such deposits. (The balance on deposit
can be withdrawn at any time or applied to any of the Annuity Options.) Any
lump-sum payment paid during the Accumulation Period will normally be made
within seven calendar days after proof of death acceptable to us and a request
for payment are received at our Home Office.
Until the election of method of a payment, amounts will remain invested as
they were before the death, and the Beneficiary will assume rights under the
Contracts. The Code requires that distributions begun within a certain time
period. If the Beneficiary is the surviving spouse, he or she has until you
would have attained age 70 1/2 to begin Annuity payments or to receive a lump-
sum distribution. If the Beneficiary is not your surviving spouse, either
Annuity payments must begin by December 31 of the year following the year of
your death, or the entire value must be distributed by December 31 of the
fifth year following the year of your death. In no event may payments to any
Beneficiary extend beyond the life of the Beneficiary or any period certain
greater than the Beneficiary's life expectancy. If no elections are made
concerning distribution, no distributions will be made. Failure to commence
distributions within the above time periods can result in tax penalties.
If a lump-sum distribution or an Annuity Option is elected within 6 months of
the Participant's death, a guaranteed death benefit is provided. For each
Account, the death benefit is guaranteed to be the greater of:
(a) The Account Value, plus any positive aggregate Market Value Adjustment
(MVA), on the day the death notice and request for payment are
received, in good order, at our Home Office, or
(b) The sum of the Net Purchase Payments made to each Account, minus the
total of all withdrawals or annuitizations made from the Account and
any amount allocated from the Account to the Loan Account.
If a full or partial withdrawal is made within 6 months after your death, the
Beneficiary will receive the Account Value, plus any positive MVA that would
apply to any portion of the Account allocated to GAA. If a lump-sum
distribution is elected six months or more after your death, the Beneficiary
will receive the Account Value, plus or minus any MVA that would apply to any
portion of the Account allocated to GAA. The value of the Account is
determined as of the Valuation Period in which proof of death acceptable to us
and a request for payment are received at our Home Office.
If an Annuity Option is elected, the value applied to the Annuity Option is
determined in the same manner as a lump-sum distribution; the amount of payout
will depend on the annuity option elected and the investment option(s) used to
provide such payments. See "Annuity Period." If amounts are left in the
variable investment options or credited interest options, the Account Value
will continue to be affected by the investment performance of the option(s)
selected. If amounts are left on deposit in the general account, the principal
amount is guaranteed, but interest payments may vary. In general, regardless
of the method of payment, payments received by your beneficiaries after your
death are taxed in the same manner as if you had received those payments. See
"Tax Status."
ANNUITY PERIOD
If an Annuitant dies after Annuity payments have begun, any death benefit
payable will depend upon the terms of the Contract and the Annuity option
selected.
If lifetime option (a) or (b) was elected without a guaranteed minimum payment
period under the Contract, Annuity payments will cease upon the death of the
Annuitant under a Life Annuity or the death of the surviving Annuitant under
options (b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (v).
Under the Contract, if lifetime option (a) or (b) was elected with a
guaranteed minimum payment period, we will pay the Beneficiary in a lump sum,
unless otherwise requested, the present value of the
27
<PAGE>
guaranteed Annuity payments remaining. Such value will be determined as of the
Valuation Period in which proof of death acceptable to us and a request for
payment are received at our Home Office. The value will be reduced by any
payments made after the date of death.
If the nonlifetime option was elected under the Contract and the Annuitant dies
before all payments are made, unless otherwise requested, the value of any
remaining payments will be paid in a lump sum to your Beneficiary. Such value
will be determined as of the Valuation Period in which proof of death
acceptable to us and a request for payment are received at our Home Office.
Any lump sum payment under the applicable lifetime or nonlifetime Annuity
options will normally be made within seven calendar days after proof of death
acceptable to us and a request for payment are received at our Home Office.
If the Annuitant dies after Annuity payments have begun and if there is a death
benefit payable under the Annuity option elected, the remaining values must be
distributed to the Beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the original method
of distribution.
TAX STATUS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion is a general discussion of federal income tax
considerations relating to the Contract and is not intended as tax advice. This
discussion is not intended to address the tax consequences resulting from all
of the situations in which a person may be entitled to or may receive a
distribution under the Contract. Any person concerned about these tax
implications should consult a competent tax adviser before initiating any
transaction. This discussion is based upon the Company's understanding of the
present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). No representation is made as to the
likelihood of the continuation of the present federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretation by the IRS. Moreover, no attempt has been made to
consider any applicable state or other tax laws.
The Contract may be purchased and used in connection with certain retirement
arrangements entitled to special income tax treatment under Section 403(b) or
401(a) of the Code. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the amounts
held under a Contract, or Annuity Payments, and on the economic benefit to the
Contract Holder, the Participant, or the Beneficiary may depend on the tax
status of the individual concerned.
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of Subchapter L
of the Code. Since the Separate Account is not an entity separate from the
Company, and its operation forms a part of the Company, it will not be taxed
separately as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code.
Investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to
increase reserves under the Contracts. Under existing federal income tax law,
the Company believes that the Separate Account investment income and realized
net capital gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains
are applied to increase the reserves under the Contracts.
Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that it will incur any federal
income tax liability attributable to the Separate Account and, therefore, the
Company does not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. However, if
changes in the federal tax laws or interpretations thereof result in the
Company being taxed on income or gains attributable to the Separate Account,
then the Company may impose a charge against the Separate Account (with respect
to some or all Contracts) in order to set aside provisions to pay such taxes.
28
<PAGE>
TAX STATUS OF THE CONTRACT
In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts may be
considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the
separate accounts used to support their contracts. In those circumstances,
income and gains from the separate account assets would be includible in the
variable contract owner's gross income. One of the circumstances that has
raised this issue is the number of funding options available under the
contract. The Company reserves the right to modify the Contract as necessary to
attempt to prevent an Owner from being considered the owner of a pro rata share
of the assets of the Separate Account.
CONTRACTS USED WITH CERTAIN RETIREMENT PLANS
IN GENERAL. The Contract is designed for use with Section 403(b) or 401(a)
Plans. The tax rules applicable to participants and beneficiaries in retirement
plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the
plan. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of
contributions and distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from
contributions in excess of specified limits; distributions prior to age 59 1/2
(subject to certain exceptions); distributions that do not conform to specified
commencement and minimum distribution rules; aggregate distributions in excess
of a specified annual amount; and in other specified circumstances.
The Company makes no attempt to provide more than general information about use
of the Contracts with the various types of retirement plans. Owners and
Participants under retirement plans as well as annuitants and beneficiaries are
cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under the Contracts may
be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of
the terms and conditions of the Contract issued in connection with such a plan.
Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that
are not incorporated in the administration of the Contracts. Owners are
responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other
transactions with respect to the Contracts satisfy applicable law. Purchasers
of Contracts for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal
counsel and tax adviser regarding the suitability of the Contract.
SECTION 403(B) PLANS. Under Code Section 403(b), payments made by public school
systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase annuity contracts for
their employees are excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject
to certain limitations. However, these payments may be subject to FICA (Social
Security) taxes. A Contract issued as a tax-deferred annuity under Section
403(b) will be amended as necessary to conform to the requirements of the Code.
In order to be excludable from your taxable income, your total annual
contributions to Section 403(b) plans cannot exceed any of three limits set by
the Code. The first limit, under Section 415, is generally the lesser of 25
percent of your compensation or $30,000. This limit applies to all your own
contributions, your employer's contributions under the Plan on your behalf,
and, if you are in control of the employer as defined in the Code,
contributions under certain other retirement plans. The second limit, which is
the exclusion allowance under section 403(b), is usually calculated according
to a formula that takes account of your length of employment, any pretax
contributions you and your employer have already made under the Plan, and
pretax contributions to certain other retirement plans. There is also an
additional limit that specifically limits your salary reduction contributions
to the Plan to generally no more than $9,500 annually (subject to indexing);
your own limit may be lower.
Code Section 403(b)(11) restricts the distribution under 403(b) Contracts of:
(1) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988; (2)
earnings on those contributions; and (3) earnings in such years on amounts held
as of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Distribution of those
amounts may only occur upon death of the employee, attainment of age 59 1/2,
separation from service, disability, or financial hardship. In addition, income
attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of
hardship.
29
<PAGE>
The Code also has required distribution rules for Section 403(b) plans.
Distributions of amounts as of December 31, 1986, generally must begin by age
75. Distributions attributable to contributions made on or after January 1,
1987, and any earnings on the entire Account Value on or after that date, must
begin by (1) for governmental or church plans, April 1 of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 or
retires, whichever occurs later, or (2) for all other plans, April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
70 1/2. To comply with these provisions, distributions must be in a form and
amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum distribution and minimum distribution
incidental death benefit rules specified in IRS regulations. In general,
annuity payments may not extend beyond your life, the joint life of you and
your Beneficiary, a period certain greater than your life expectancy, or a
period certain greater than the joint life expectancies of you and your
Beneficiary. If you die after the required minimum distributions have
commenced, distributions to your Beneficiary must be made at least as rapidly
as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of your death. If you
die before the required minimum distributions have commenced, distribution to
your Beneficiary generally must either commence as an annuity within one year
or be completed within five years, subject to certain special rules. If
distributions are taken in excess of the minimum required distribution, the
Company will no longer maintain the grandfathered amount.
All distributions will be taxed as they are received unless you made a rollover
contribution of the distribution to another Section 403(b) plan or an
individual retirement annuity or account ("IRA") in accordance with the Code.
The Code has specific rules that apply, depending on the type of distribution
received, if after-tax contributions were made.
In general, payments received by your beneficiaries after your death are taxed
in the same manner as if you had received those payments, except that a limited
death benefit exclusion may apply.
SECTION 401(A) PLANS. Code Section 401(a) permits employers to establish
various types of retirement plans for employees. These retirement plans may
permit the purchase of the Contracts to accumulate retirement savings under the
plans. Adverse tax consequences to the Plan, to the Participant or to both may
result if this Contract is assigned or transferred to any individual as a means
to provide benefit payments.
In the case of a withdrawal under a Contract paid to a Plan Participant or
Beneficiary, including withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Option or
the Estate Conservation Option, a ratable portion of the amount received is
taxable, generally based on the ratio of the "investment in the contract" to
the individual's total accrued benefit under the retirement plan. The
"investment in the contract" generally equals the amount of any non-deductible
contributions paid by or on behalf of any individual's total accrued benefit
under the retirement plan. The "investment in the contract" generally equals
the amount of any non-deductible contributions paid by or on behalf of any
individual. For a Contract issued in connection with qualified plans, the
"investment in the contract" can be zero. Special tax rules may be available
for certain distributions from a qualified plan.
Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the Annuity payment elected
under the Contract, in general, only the portion of the Annuity payment that
represents the amount by which the Account Value exceeds the "investment in the
contract" will be taxed; after the "investment in the contract" is recovered,
the full amount of any additional Annuity payments is taxable. For Variable
Annuity payments, the taxable portion is generally determined by an equation
that establishes a specific dollar amount of each payment that is not taxed.
The dollar amount is determined by dividing the "investment in the contract" by
the total number of expected periodic payments. However, the entire
distribution will be taxable once the recipient has recovered the dollar amount
of his or her "investment in the contract." For Fixed Annuity payments, in
general there is no tax on the portion of each payment which represents the
same ratio that the "investment in the contract" bears to the total expected
value
30
<PAGE>
of the Annuity payments for the term of the payments; however, the remainder of
each Annuity payment is taxable. Once the "investment in the contract" has been
fully recovered, the full amount of any additional Annuity payments is taxable.
If Annuity payments cease as a result of an Annuitant's death before full
recovery of the "investment in the contract," consult a competent tax advisor
regarding deductibility of the unrecovered amount.
WITHHOLDING AND PENALTY TAX
Pension and annuity distributions generally are subject to withholding for the
recipient's federal income tax liability at rates that vary according to the
type of distribution and the recipient's tax status. Recipients generally are
provided the opportunity to elect not to have tax withheld from distributions;
however, certain distributions from Section 403(b) tax-deferred annuities and
Section 401(a) qualified retirement plans are subject to mandatory federal
income tax withholding. We will report to the IRS the taxable portion of all
distributions.
The Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution
unless made when (a) you have attained age 59 1/2, (b) you have become
disabled, (c) you have died, (d) you have attained age 55 and have separated
from service with the plan sponsor at or after age 55, (e) the distribution
amount from the 403(b) Contract is rolled over into another section 403(b) plan
or the distribution amount from the 401(a) Contract is rolled over into another
401(a) plan or from either contract to an IRA in accordance with the terms of
the Code, or (f) the distribution amount is annuitized over your life or life
expectancy or the joint life or life expectancies of you and your Plan
Beneficiary, provided you have separated from service with the plan sponsor. In
addition, the penalty tax is abated for the amount of a distribution equal to
unreimbursed medical expenses incurred by you that qualify for deduction as
specified in the Code. The Code may impose other penalty taxes in other
circumstances.
POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAXATION
In past years, legislation has been proposed that would have adversely modified
the federal taxation of certain annuities. Although as of the date of this
prospectus Congress is not actively considering any legislation regarding the
taxation of annuities, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment
of annuities could change by legislation or other means (such as IRS
regulations, revenue rulings, judicial decisions, etc.). Moreover, it is also
possible that any change could be retroactive (that is, effective prior to the
date of the change).
OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES
As noted above, the foregoing discussion of the federal income tax consequences
is not exhaustive and special rules are provided with respect to other tax
situations not discussed in this Prospectus. Further, the federal income tax
consequences discussed herein reflect the Company's understanding of the
current law and the law may change. Federal estate and gift tax consequences of
ownership or receipt of distributions under the Contract depend on the
individual circumstances of each Owner or recipient of a distribution. A
competent tax adviser should be consulted for further information.
MISCELLANEOUS
VOTING RIGHTS
The Contract Holder may direct us in the voting of shares at meetings of
shareholders of the appropriate Fund(s). The number of votes to which the
Contract Holder may give direction will be determined as of the record date.
The number of votes the Contract Holder is entitled to direct with respect to a
particular Fund during the Accumulation Period is equal to the portion of the
current value of the Contract attributable to that
31
<PAGE>
Fund divided by the net asset value of one share of that Fund. During the
Annuity Period, the number of votes is equal to the Valuation Reserve
applicable to the portion of the Contract attributable to that Fund, divided by
the net asset value of one share of that Fund. In determining the number of
votes, fractional votes will be recognized. Where the value of the Contract or
Valuation Reserve relates to more than one Fund, the calculation of votes will
be performed separately for each Fund.
Participants may instruct the Contract Holder how to direct us to cast the
votes for the portion of the Current Value or Valuation Reserve attributable to
these Accounts. Votes attributable to those Participants who do not instruct
the Contract Holder will be cast by us in the same proportion as votes for
which instructions have been received by the Contract Holder. Votes
attributable to Contract Holders who do not direct us will be cast by us in the
same proportion as the votes for which we have received directions.
Participants entitled to instruct the casting of votes for a particular Fund,
will receive a notice of each meeting of shareholders of that Fund, together
with any proxy solicitation materials, and a statement of the number of votes
attributable to their participation under the Contract and stating the right to
instruct the Contract Holder how such votes shall be cast.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
The Company may modify the Contract when it deems an amendment appropriate,
subject to the limitations described below, by notifying the Contract Holder in
writing 30 days before the effective date of the change and by obtaining the
Contract Holder's consent.
Changes to the following Contract provisions may be considered material by the
Company and cannot be changed without the approval of appropriate state or
federal regulatory authorities:
.transfers among investment options;
.notification to the Contract Holder;
.conditions governing payments of withdrawal values;
.terms of Annuity options; and
.death benefit payments.
In addition, changes to the following provisions would apply only to future
Accounts:
(a) the Annuity Options (such changes may only be made twelve months after
the Effective Date of the Contract and twelve months after the
effective date of any prior changes),
(b) the contractual promise that no deduction will be made from Purchase
Payment(s) for sales or administrative expenses,
(c) increasing the asset based sales charges,
(d) increasing the mortality and expense risk charges,
(e) increasing the administrative expense charge provision,
(f) the calculation of current value and withdrawal value,
(g) the Fixed Plus Account and Guaranteed Accumulation Account guaranteed
rates, and
(h) the fixed annuity interest rates.
Modification of items (b) through (e) above specifically require authorization
by the SEC to the extent the proposed charges are not currently authorized by
existing orders issued to the Company by the SEC.
32
<PAGE>
If the Contract Holder has not accepted the proposed change at the time of its
effective date, we reserve the right to discontinue establishing new Accounts
and to discontinue accepting Purchase Payments to existing Accounts.
We may also change any provision that must be altered to comply with state or
federal law.
Once an Annuity has begun, we will not change the terms or the amount of the
Annuity payments, unless a change is deemed necessary to comply with Code
requirements or other laws and regulations affecting the Plan or Contract.
CONTRACT HOLDER/PARTICIPANT INQUIRIES
A Contract Holder or Participant may direct inquiries to a local representative
of the Distributor or may write directly to us at the address shown on the
cover page of this prospectus.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
You automatically have the right to make transfers among Funds by telephone. We
have enacted procedures to prevent abuses of Account transactions by telephone.
The procedures include requiring the use of a personal identification number
(PIN) to execute transactions. You are responsible for safeguarding your PIN,
and for keeping Account information confidential. If the Company fails to

APPENDIX I
GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
THE GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT ("GAA") IS A CREDITED INTEREST OPTION
AVAILABLE DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD UNDER THE CONTRACTS. CONTRACT HOLDERS
AND PARTICIPANTS SHOULD READ THE ACCOMPANYING GAA PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE
INVESTING. THIS APPENDIX IS A SUMMARY OF GAA AND IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE
THE GAA PROSPECTUS. AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO GAA ARE HELD IN A NONINSULATED,
NONUNITIZED SEPARATE ACCOUNT.
GAA is a credited interest option in which we guarantee stipulated rates of
interest for stated periods of time on amounts directed to GAA. The interest
rate stipulated is an annual effective yield; that is, it reflects a full
year's interest. Interest is credited daily at a rate that will provide the
guaranteed annual effective yield over the period of one year. This option
guarantees the minimum interest rate specified in the Contract.
During a specified period of time, amounts may be applied to any or all
available Guaranteed Terms within the Short-Term and Long-Term
Classifications. The Short-Term Classification consists of all Guaranteed
Terms of 3 years or less and the Long-Term Classification consists of all
Guaranteed Terms of 10 years or less, but greater than 3 years.
Withdrawals or transfers from a Guaranteed Term prior to the end of that
Guaranteed Term may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment ("MVA"). An MVA
reflects the change in the value of the investment due to changes in interest
rates since the date of deposit. When interest rates increase after the date
of deposit, the value of the investment decreases, and the MVA is negative.
Conversely, when interest rates decrease after the date of deposit, the value
of the investment increases, and the MVA is positive. It is possible that a
negative MVA could result in the Participant receiving an amount that is less
than the amount paid into GAA.
As a Guaranteed Term matures, assets accumulating under GAA may be (a)
transferred to a new Guaranteed Term, (b) transferred to the other available
investment options, or (c) withdrawn. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to tax
penalties and/or withholding.
By notifying us at our Home Office at least 30 days before the Annuity
payments begin, you may elect to have amounts which have been accumulating
under GAA transferred to one or more of the Funds available during the Annuity
Period to provide variable Annuity payments. GAA cannot be used as an
investment option during the Annuity Period.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES
We make no deductions from the credited interest rate for mortality and
expense risks; these risks are considered in determining the credited rate.
TRANSFERS
Amounts applied to a Guaranteed Term during a deposit period may not be
transferred to any other funding option or to another Guaranteed Term during
that deposit period or for 90 days after the close of that deposit period.
Transfers are permitted from Guaranteed Terms of one Classification to
available Guaranteed Terms of another Classification. We will apply an MVA to
GAA transfers made prior to the end of a Guaranteed Term.
CONTRACT LOANS
Loans may not be made against amounts held in GAA, although such value is
included in determining the value of the Account against which a loan may be
made.
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE
Any amounts reinvested in GAA will be applied to the current deposit period.
Amounts are proportionately reinvested to the Classifications in the same
manner as they were allocated before the surrender. Any negative MVA amount
applied to a withdrawal is not included in the reinvestment.

APPENDIX II
FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT
THE FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT IS AN INVESTMENT OPTION AVAILABLE DURING THE
ACCUMULATION PERIOD UNDER THE CONTRACTS. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES MATERIAL
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FIXED ACCOUNT THAT IS OFFERED AS AN OPTION UNDER THE
CONTRACT. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE FOUND IN YOUR CERTIFICATE. AMOUNTS
ALLOCATED TO THE FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT ARE HELD IN THE COMPANY'S GENERAL ACCOUNT
THAT SUPPORTS INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OBLIGATIONS. INTERESTS IN THE FIXED PLUS
ACCOUNT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SEC IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROSPECTUS REGARDING
THE FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE
PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND
COMPLETENESS OF THE STATEMENTS. DISCLOSURE IN THIS APPENDIX REGARDING THE FIXED
PLUS ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE SEC.
The Fixed Plus Account guarantees a minimum 3% interest rate. We may credit a
higher interest rate from time to time. The Company's determination of interest
rates reflects the investment income earned on invested assets and the
amortization of any capital gains and/or losses realized on the sale of
invested assets. Under this option, we assume the risk of investment gain or
loss by guaranteeing Net Purchase Payment values and promising a minimum
interest rate and Annuity payment.
The Fixed Plus Account will reflect a compound interest rate credited by us.
The interest rate quoted is an annual effective yield. Amounts applied to the
Fixed Plus Account will earn the Fixed Plus interest rate in effect when
actually applied to the Fixed Plus Account.
Beginning on the tenth anniversary of the effective date of an Account, we will
credit amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account with an interest rate that is at
least 0.25% higher than the then-declared interest rate for the Fixed Plus
Accounts for Accounts that have not reached their tenth anniversary. We make no
deductions from the credited interest rate for mortality and expense risks;
these risks are considered in determining the credited rate.
Under certain emergency conditions, we may defer payment of a Fixed Plus
Account withdrawal value (a) for a period of up to 6 months or (b) as provided
by federal law.
WITHDRAWALS
Any withdrawals requested from an Account's Fixed Plus Account Value may not
exceed 20% of the Account's Fixed Plus Account current value as of the date the
withdrawal request is received in good order at our Home Office, reduced by any
Fixed Plus Account withdrawal(s), transfer(s), loan or annuitizations
previously made during the prior 12 months. We will waive the 20% transfer
limit when the partial withdrawal is made on a pro rata basis from all
investment options and the withdrawal is (1) due to your death before Annuity
payments begin and withdrawal is within six months of your death or (2) used to
purchase Annuity benefits.
If a full withdrawal is requested, we will pay any Fixed Plus Account
withdrawal value from the Account with interest, in five annual payments of:
. One-fifth of the Fixed Plus Account withdrawal value minus any Fixed Plus
Account withdrawal(s), transfer(s), loans or annuitizations made during
the prior 12 months;
. One-fourth of the remaining Fixed Plus Account Value 12 months later;
. One-third of the remaining Fixed Plus Account Value 12 months later;
. One-half of the remaining Fixed Plus Account Value 12 months later; and
. The balance of the Fixed Plus Account Value 12 months later.
36
<PAGE>
Once we receive a request for a full withdrawal from an Account termination, no
further withdrawal(s), loan(s) or transfer(s) will be permitted from the Fixed
Plus Account.
A full withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account may be cancelled at any time
before the end of the five-payment period.
We will waive the Fixed Plus Account full surrender provision if a full
withdrawal is made due to:
(a) the Participant's death (within 6 months after the Participant's date
of death) before Annuity payments begin;
(b) the election of an Annuity option;
(c) if the Fixed Plus Account value is $3,500 or less (and no withdrawals,
transfers, loan or annuitizations have been made from the Account
within the prior 12 months); or
(d) the Participant's separation from service with the employer (if the
separation from service is certified by the employer and the withdrawal
request is received within 60 days of the date of termination), subject
to a 3% charge based on the entire Fixed Plus Account value. If the
Participant chooses to have the five annual payments of the Fixed Plus
Account withdrawal as described above, then no charge will be assessed.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES
The Fixed Plus Account will reflect a compound interest rate credited by us.
The interest rate quoted is an annual effective yield. We make no deductions
from the credited interest rate for mortality and expense risks; these risks
are considered in determining the credited rate.
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Transfers from the Fixed Plus Account to any other available investment
option(s) are allowed once in each calendar year during the Accumulation
Period. The amount that may be transferred will be up to 20% of the amount held
in the Fixed Plus Account reduced by Fixed Plus Account withdrawals, transfers,
loan or annuitizations made in the prior 12 months. We will waive the 20%
transfer limit when the value in the Fixed Plus Account is $1,000 or less.
By notifying us at our Home Office at least 30 days before Annuity payments
begin, you may elect to have amounts which have been accumulating under the
Fixed Plus Account transferred to one or more of the funds available during the
Annuity Period, or any combination thereof, to provide variable Annuity
payments.
SWO
The Systematic Withdrawal Option may not be elected if you have requested a
Fixed Plus Account transfer or withdrawal within the prior 12 month period.

HYPOTHETICAL TABLES
The following tables represent hypothetical values for the periods indicated
that would have resulted under a Contract described in this Prospectus had you
made contributions to the Contract during the periods indicated. Each set of
hypothetical results is based exclusively on the investment performance of a
particular Fund during the periods shown. The Fund performance is based on the
actual net asset values of the various Funds which would be net of advisory
fees and expenses actually charged for those periods. Some of the Funds'
advisers have reimbursed the Funds for a portion of those fees. Reimbursements
may not continue in the future. The hypothetical returns also assume deduction
of all charges and expenses under the Contracts which include 1.25% mortality
and expense risk charges and 0.15% asset-based sales charges. The Accumulation
Value is net of all applicable fees and expenses of the Fund and under the
Contract. It also reflects the amount available for withdrawal.
Since the Contracts are designed to fund variable retirement benefits through
long-term investments, "active" Contracts will, on the average, involve a long-
term relationship between the Company and the Contract Holder during both the
Accumulation and Annuity Periods. Accordingly, the Tables are intended to
illustrate the hypothetical values of each Fund since that Fund became
available under the Separate Account. For those Funds not available under the
Separate Account as of December 31, 1994, no histories are shown.
Generally, Table 1 for each Fund shows the accumulation value at annual
intervals following contract issuance on the date indicated, and Table 2 shows
the accumulation value at quarterly intervals following contract issuance.
Table 1 assumes that monthly purchase payments of $100 were made during each
Contract Year following contract issuance, and illustrates the accumulation
value of such payment over a period of time, as well as the actual withdrawal
value of your account. Table 2 assumes that a single net purchase payment of
$100 was made at contract issuance, and illustrates the accumulation value of
that payment at quarterly intervals thereafter.
For those Funds available during annuity payout (e.g., Aetna Variable Fund,
Aetna Income Shares and Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc.), Table 3
illustrates the value of hypothetical monthly variable annuity payments at
quarterly intervals following the commencement of annuity payments on the date
indicated. Table 3 assumes an initial annuity payment of $100. For those funds
not available as funding options during the Annuity Period, no annuity payout
information is provided.
PLEASE NOTE THAT AMOUNTS WITHDRAWN BEFORE YOU REACH AGE 59 1/2 MAY BE SUBJECT
TO A 10% FEDERAL PENALTY TAX. (SEE THE SECTION ENTITLED "TAX STATUS" IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.)
PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT WHILE THESE HYPOTHETICAL CHARTS REFLECT ACTUAL HISTORICAL
PERFORMANCE, THEY ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. A PROGRAM OF THE TYPE
ILLUSTRATED IN THE TABLES DOES NOT ASSURE A PROFIT OR PROTECT AGAINST
DEPRECIATION IN DECLINING MARKETS.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company") is a stock life
insurance company which was organized in 1976 under the insurance laws of the
State of Connecticut. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life and
Casualty Company which, with its subsidiaries, constitutes one of the nation's
largest diversified financial services organizations. The Company's Home Office
is located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156.
In addition to serving as the principal underwriter and the depositor for the
Separate Account, the Company is a registered investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and a registered broker-dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company provides investment advice to
several of the registered management investment companies offered as variable
investment options under the Contracts funded by the Separate Account (see
"Variable Annuity Account C" below).
Other than the mortality and expense risk charges, asset based sales charge and
administrative expense charge, if any, described in the prospectus, all expenses
incurred in the operations of the Separate Account are borne by the Company.
See "Charges and Deductions" in the Prospectus. The Company receives
reimbursement for certain administrative costs from some unaffiliated sponsors
of the Funds used as funding options under the Contract. These fees generally
range from 0.15% to 0.25%.
The assets of the Separate Account are held by the Company. Please refer to the
prospectuses of the individual Funds in whose shares the assets of the Separate
Account are invested regarding the custodians for those Funds.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C
Variable Annuity Account C is a separate account established by the Company for
the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. The
Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a
unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
assets of the Separate Account will be invested exclusively in shares of the
mutual funds described in the Prospectus. Purchase Payments made under the
Contract may be allocated to one or more of the variable investment options.
The Company may make additions to or deletions from available investment options
as permitted by law. The availability of the Funds is subject to applicable
regulatory authorization. Not all Funds are available in all jurisdictions or
under all Contracts. The Funds currently available under the Contract are as
follows:
Aetna Variable Fund
Aetna Income Shares
Aetna Variable Encore Fund
Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc.
Aetna Ascent Variable Portfolio
Aetna Crossroads Variable Portfolio
Aetna Legacy Variable Portfolio
Alger American Small Cap Portfolio
Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio

<PAGE>
Complete descriptions of each of the Funds, including their investment
objectives, policies, risks and fees and expenses, is contained in the
prospectuses and statements of additional information for each of the Funds.
OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS
The Company is both the Depositor and the principal underwriter for the
securities sold by the prospectus. The Company offers the Contracts through
life insurance agents licensed to sell variable annuities who are registered
representatives of the Company or of other registered broker-dealers who have
sales agreements with the Company. The offering of the Contracts is continuous.
A description of the manner in which Contracts are purchased may be found in the
prospectus under the sections titled "Purchase - Contract Purchase" and
"Determining Contract Value."
PERFORMANCE DATA
General
From time to time, the Company may advertise different types of historical
performance for the variable options of the Separate Account available under the
Contracts issued by the Company in connection with Plans described in the
Prospectus. The Company may advertise the "standardized average annual total
returns," calculated in a manner and for the periods prescribed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Standardized total return"), as well as
the "non-standardized total return," calculated in an identical manner but
including additional periods.
The standardized total return figures are computed according to a formula in
which a hypothetical initial Purchase Payment of $1,000 is applied to the
variable options under the Contract, and then related to the ending redeemable
values over one, five and ten year periods (or fractional periods thereof).
Such figures reflect the deduction of all recurring charges during each period
(e.g., mortality and expense risk charges, the asset-based sales charge and any
applicable administrative expense charge). These charges will be deducted on a
pro rata basis in the case of fractional periods.
The non-standardized total return figures use the same formula, but may be
computed to include a three year period as well as the one, five and ten year
periods.
For variable options of the Separate Account that were in existence prior to the
date the Fund became available under the Contract, the standardized and non-
standardized total returns may include periods prior to the date on which such
Fund became available under the Contract. These figures are calculated by
adjusting the actual returns of the Fund to reflect the charges that would have
been assessed under the Contract had that Fund been available under the Contract
during that period.
The total return quotations are based upon historical earnings and are not
necessarily representative of future performance. Investment results of the
Funds will fluctuate over time, and any presentation of the Funds' total return
quotations for any prior period should not be considered as a representation of
how the Funds will perform in any future period. Additionally, your Contract
Value upon redemption may be more or less than your original cost.

ANNUITY PAYMENTS
When Annuity payments are to begin, the value of the Contract or Account is
determined using Accumulation Unit values as of the tenth Valuation Period
before the first Annuity payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium
tax) is applied to provide an Annuity in accordance with the Annuity and
investment options elected.
The Annuity option tables found in the Contract show, for each form of Annuity,
the amount of the first Annuity payment for each $1,000 of value applied.
Thereafter, variable Annuity payments fluctuate as the Annuity Unit value(s)
fluctuates with the investment experience of the selected investment option(s).
The first payment and subsequent payments also vary depending on the assumed net
investment rate selected (3.5% or 5% per annum). Selection of a 5% rate causes a
higher first payment, but Annuity payments will increase thereafter only to the
extent that the net investment rate increases by more than
-4-
<PAGE>
5% on an annual basis. Annuity payments would decline if the rate failed to
increase by 5%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate causes a lower first payment, but
subsequent payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as
changes occur in the net investment rate.
When the Annuity Period begins, the Annuitant is credited with a fixed number of
Annuity Units (which does not change thereafter) in each of the designated
investment options. This number is calculated by dividing (a) by (b), where (a)
is the amount of the first Annuity payment based on a particular investment
option, and (b) is the then current Annuity Unit value for that investment
option. As noted, Annuity Unit values fluctuate from one Valuation Period to the
next; such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the
appropriate Fund(s) (with a ten Valuation Period lag which gives the Company
time to process Annuity payments) and a mathematical adjustment which offsets
the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% or 5% per annum.
The operation of all these factors can be illustrated by the following
hypothetical example. These procedures will be performed separately for the
investment options selected during the Annuity Period.
EXAMPLE:
Assume that, at the date Annuity payments are to begin, there are 3,000
Accumulation Units credited under a particular Contract or Account and that the
value of an Accumulation Unit for the tenth Valuation Period prior to retirement
was $13.650000. This produces a total value of $40,950.
Assume also that no premium tax is payable and that the Annuity table in the
Contract provides, for the option elected, a first monthly variable Annuity
payment of $6.68 per $1000 of value applied; the Annuitant's first monthly
payment would thus be 40.950 multiplied by $6.68, or $273.55.
Assume then that the value of an Annuity Unit for the Valuation Period in which
the first payment was due was $13.400000. When this value is divided into the
first monthly payment, the number of Annuity Units is determined to be 20.414.
The value of this number of Annuity Units will be paid in each subsequent month.
If the net investment factor with respect to the appropriate Fund is 1.0015000
as of the tenth Valuation Period preceding the due date of the second monthly
payment, multiplying this factor by .9999058* (to neutralize the assumed net
investment rate of 3.5% per annum built into the number of Annuity Units
determined above) produces a result of 1.0014057. This is then multiplied by the
Annuity Unit value for the prior Valuation Period (assume such value to be
$13.504376) to produce an Annuity Unit value of $13.523359 for the Valuation
Period in which the second payment is due.
The second monthly payment is then determined by multiplying the number of
Annuity Units by the current Annuity Unit value, or 20.414 times $13.523359,
which produces a payment of $276.07.
*If an assumed net investment rate of 5% is elected, the appropriate factor to
neutralize such assumed rate would be .9998663.

DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING
The term dollar-cost averaging describes a system of investing a uniform sum of
money at regular intervals over an extended period of time. It is based on the
economic fact that buying a variably priced item with a constant sum of money at
fixed intervals results in acquiring more of the item when prices are low and
less of it when prices are high. In order to maximize the effectiveness of
dollar-cost averaging, it is important that investors consider their financial
ability to continue purchasing the securities through periods of high and low
price levels. Investors should also note that no system can protect against
reduced values in a declining market.
SALES MATERIAL
The Company may include hypothetical illustrations in its sales literature that
explain the mathematical principles of dollar cost averaging, compounded
interest, tax deferred accumulation, and the mechanics of variable annuity
contracts. The Company may also discuss the difference between variable annuity
contracts and other types of savings or investment products, including, but not
limited to, personal savings accounts and Certificates of Deposits.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company and
Contract Owners of Variable Annuity Account C:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Aetna
Life Insurance and Annuity Company Variable Annuity Account C (the "Account")
as of December 31, 1994, the related statement of operations and condensed fi-
nancial information for the year then ended and the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended. These fi-
nancial statements and condensed financial information are the responsibility
of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and condensed financial information based on our au-
dits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and condensed fi-
nancial information are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of December 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant esti-
mates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and condensed financial information
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial posi-
tion of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company Variable Annuity Account C as
of December 31, 1994, the results of its operations and condensed financial in-
formation for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for each of
the years in the two-year period then ended in conformity with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Shareholder and Board of Directors
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
shareholder's equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1994. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1993 the
Company changed its methods of accounting for certain investments in debt and
equity securities and reinsurance contracts. In 1992, the Company changed its
method of accounting for income taxes and postretirement benefits other than
pensions.

AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF AETNA LIFE AND CASUALTY COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993, AND 1992
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aetna Insurance Company of America,
Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc., Aetna Private Capital, Inc. and
Aetna Investment Services, Inc. (collectively, the "Company"). Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life and
Casualty Company ("Aetna").
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Intercompany transactions have been
eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to 1993 and 1992 financial
information to conform to the 1994 presentation.
The Company offers a wide range of life insurance products and annuity
contracts with variable and fixed accumulation and payout options. The Company
also provides investment advisory and other services to affiliated mutual
funds.
Accounting Changes
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
On December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS")
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
which requires the classification of debt securities into three categories:
"held to maturity", which are carried at amortized cost; "available for sale",
which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as a
component of shareholder's equity; and "trading", which are carried at fair
value with immediate recognition in income of changes in fair value.
Initial adoption of this standard resulted in a net increase of $106.8 million,
net of taxes of $57.5 million, to net unrealized gains in shareholder's equity.
These amounts exclude gains and losses allocable to experience-rated (including
universal life) contractholders. Adoption of FAS No. 115 did not have a
material effect on deferred policy acquisition costs.
Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration
Contracts
During 1993, the Company adopted FAS No. 113, Accounting and Reporting for
Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts, retroactive to
January 1, 1993. Reinsurance recoverables (previously reported as a reduction
in insurance reserve liabilities) and reinsurance receivables and ceded
unearned premiums are included in premiums due and other receivables. The
adoption of FAS No. 113 did not have a material impact on the Company's 1993
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting for Income Taxes
The Company adopted FAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, in 1992,
retroactive to January 1, 1992. A cumulative effect benefit of $22.8 million
related to the adoption of this standard is reflected in the 1992 Consolidated
Statement of Income.

AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF AETNA LIFE AND CASUALTY COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
FAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions, required that employers accrue the cost and recognize the liability
for providing non-pension benefits to retired employees and agents. Aetna and
the Company implemented FAS No. 106 in 1992, retroactive to January 1, 1992 on
the immediate recognition basis. The cumulative effect charge for all Aetna
employees was reflected in Aetna's 1992 Statement of Income. A cumulative
effect charge of $13.2 million, net of taxes of $7.1 million, related to the
adoption of this standard for Company agents is reflected in the Company's 1992
Consolidated Statement of Income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market instruments and
other debt issues with a maturity of ninety days or less when purchased.
Investments
Debt Securities
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, all of the Company's debt securities are
classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. These securities
are written down (as realized losses) for other than temporary decline in
value. Unrealized gains and losses related to these securities, after deducting
amounts allocable to experience-rated contractholders and related taxes, are
reflected in shareholder's equity.
Fair values for debt securities are based on quoted market prices or dealer
quotations. Where quoted market prices or dealer quotations are not available,
fair values are measured utilizing quoted market prices for similar securities
or by using discounted cash flow methods. Cost for mortgage-backed securities
is adjusted for unamortized premiums and discounts, which are amortized using
the interest method over the estimated remaining term of the securities,
adjusted for anticipated prepayments.
Purchases and sales of debt securities are recorded on the trade date.
Equity Securities
Equity securities are classified as available for sale and carried at fair
value based on quoted market prices or dealer quotations. Equity securities are
written down (as realized losses) for other than temporary declines in value.
Unrealized gains and losses related to such securities are reflected in
shareholder's equity. Purchases and sales are recorded on the trade date.
The investment in affiliated mutual funds represents an investment in the Aetna
Series Fund, Inc., a retail mutual fund which has been seeded by the Company,
and is carried at fair value.
Mortgage Loans and Policy Loans
Mortgage loans and policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances net of
valuation reserves, which approximates fair value, and are generally secured.
Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date.

AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF AETNA LIFE AND CASUALTY COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Limited Partnership
The Company's limited partnership investment is carried at the amount invested
plus the Company's share of undistributed operating results and unrealized
gains (losses), which approximates fair value.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments, consisting primarily of money market instruments and
other debt issues purchased with an original maturity of over ninety days and
less than one year, are considered available for sale and are carried at fair
value, which approximates amortized cost.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
Certain costs of acquiring insurance business have been deferred. These costs,
all of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new
business, consist principally of commissions, certain expenses of underwriting
and issuing contracts and certain agency expenses. For fixed ordinary life
contracts, such costs are amortized over expected premium-paying periods. For
universal life and certain annuity contracts, such costs are amortized in
proportion to estimated gross profits and adjusted to reflect actual gross
profits. These costs are amortized over twenty years for annuity pension
contracts, and over the contract period for universal life contracts. Deferred
policy acquisition costs are written off to the extent that it is determined
that future policy premiums and investment income or gross profits would not be
adequate to cover related losses and expenses.
Insurance Reserve Liabilities
The Company's liabilities include reserves related to fixed ordinary life,
fixed universal life and fixed annuity contracts. Reserves for future policy
benefits for fixed ordinary life contracts are computed on the basis of assumed
investment yield, assumed mortality, withdrawals and expenses, including a
margin for adverse deviation, which generally vary by plan, year of issue and
policy duration. Reserve interest rates range from 2.25% to 10.50%. Assumed
investment yield is based on the Company's experience. Mortality and withdrawal
rate assumptions are based on relevant Aetna experience and are periodically
reviewed against both industry standards and experience.
Reserves for fixed universal life (included in Future Policy Benefits) and
fixed deferred annuity contracts (included in Policyholders' Funds Left With
the Company) are equal to the fund value. The fund value is equal to cumulative
deposits less charges plus credited interest thereon, without reduction for
possible future penalties assessed on premature withdrawal. For guaranteed
interest options, the interest credited ranged from 4.00% to 5.85% in 1994 and
4.00% to 7.68% in 1993. For all other fixed options, the interest credited
ranged from 5.00% to 7.50% in 1994 and 5.00% to 9.25% in 1993.
Reserves for fixed annuity contracts in the annuity period and for future
amounts due under settlement options are computed actuarially using the
Progressive Annuity Table (modified), the Annuity Table for 1949, the 1971
Individual Annuity Mortality Table, the 1971 Group Annuity Mortality Table, the
1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality
Table, at assumed interest rates ranging from 3.5% to 9.5%. Reserves relating
to contracts with life contingencies are included in Future Policy Benefits.
For other contracts, the reserves are reflected in Policyholders' Funds Left
With the Company.

AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF AETNA LIFE AND CASUALTY COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Unpaid claims for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported losses
and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.
Premiums, Charges Assessed Against Policyholders, Benefits and Expenses
Premiums are recorded as revenue when due for fixed ordinary life contracts.
Charges assessed against policyholders' funds for cost of insurance, surrender
charges, actuarial margin and other fees are recorded as revenue for universal
life and certain annuity contracts. Policy benefits and expenses are recorded
in relation to the associated premiums or gross profit so as to result in
recognition of profits over the expected lives of the contracts.
Separate Accounts
Assets held under variable universal life, variable life and variable annuity
contracts are segregated in Separate Accounts and are invested, as designated
by the contractholder or participant under a contract, in shares of Aetna
Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares, Aetna Variable Encore Fund, Aetna
Investment Advisers Fund, Inc., Aetna GET Fund, or The Aetna Series Fund Inc.,
which are managed by the Company or other selected mutual funds not managed by
the Company.
Separate Accounts assets and liabilities are carried at fair value except for
those relating to a guaranteed interest option which is offered through a
Separate Account. The assets of the Separate Account supporting the guaranteed
interest option are carried at an amortized cost of $149.7 million for 1994
(fair value $146.3 million) and $31.2 million for 1993 (fair value $33.3
million), since the Company bears the investment risk where the contract is
held to maturity. Reserves relating to the guaranteed interest option are
maintained at fund value and reflect interest credited at rates ranging from
4.5% to 8.38% in 1994 and from 4% to 9.45% in 1993. Separate Accounts assets
and liabilities are shown as separate captions in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Deposits, investment income and net realized and unrealized capital
gains (losses) of the Separate Accounts are not reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Income (with the exception of realized capital gains (losses) on
the sale of assets supporting the guaranteed interest option). The Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the Separate
Accounts.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Aetna.
The Company is taxed at regular corporate rates after adjusting income reported
for financial statement purposes for certain items. Deferred income tax
benefits result from changes during the year in cumulative temporary
differences between the tax basis and book basis of assets and liabilities.

The portfolio of debt securities at December 31, 1994 and 1993 included $318
million and $329 million, respectively, (3% of the debt securities for both
years) of investments that are considered "below investment grade". "Below
investment grade" securities are defined to be securities that carry a rating
below BBB-/Baa3, by Standard & Poors/Moody's Investor Services, respectively.
Of these below investment grade assets, $32 million and $39 million, at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were investments that were purchased
at investment grade, but whose ratings have since been downgraded.
Included in residential mortgage-back securities are collateralized mortgage
obligations ("CMOs") with carrying values of $2.6 billion and $5.2 billion at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The $2.6 billion decline in CMOs from
December 31, 1993 to December 31, 1994 was related primarily to sales
F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
and principal repayments. CMO sales of $1.6 billion resulted in net realized
capital gains of $35 million of which $23 million was allocated to experience-
rated contracts. The Company's CMO exposure was reduced as a result of changes
in their risk and return characteristics and to better diversify the risk
profile of the Company's assets. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs
are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases
in interest rates whereby the CMOs would be subject to repayments of principal
earlier or later than originally anticipated. At December 31, 1994 and 1993,
approximately 85% and 93%, respectively, of the Company's CMO holdings
consisted of sequential and planned amortization class ("PAC") debt securities
which are subject to less prepayment and extension risk than other CMO
instruments. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, approximately 82% of the Company's
CMO holdings were collateralized by residential mortgage loans, on which the
timely payment of principal and interest was backed by specified government
agencies (e.g., GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC).
If due to declining interest rates, principal was to be repaid earlier than
originally anticipated, the Company could be affected by a decrease in
investment income due to the reinvestment of these funds at a lower interest
rate. Such prepayments may result in a duration mismatch between assets and
liabilities which could be corrected as cash from prepayments could be
reinvested at an appropriate duration to adjust the mismatch.
Conversely, if due to increasing interest rates, principal was to be repaid
slower than originally anticipated, the Company could be affected by a decrease
in cash flow which reduces the ability to reinvest expected principal
repayments at higher interest rates. Such slower payments may result in a
duration mismatch between assets and liabilities which could be corrected as
available cash flow could be reinvested at an appropriate duration to adjust
the mismatch.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, 4% and 3%, respectively, of the Company's CMO
holdings consisted of interest-only strips (IOs) or principal-only strips
(POs). IOs receive payments of interest and POs receive payments of principal
on the underlying pool of mortgages. The risk inherent in holding POs is
extension risk related to dramatic increases in interest rates whereby the
future payments due on POs could be repaid much slower than originally
anticipated. The extension risks inherent in holding POs, PACs and sequentials
was mitigated by purchasing offsetting positions in IOs. During dramatic
increases in interest rates, IOs would generate more future payments than
originally anticipated.
The risk inherent in holding IOs is prepayment risk related to dramatic
decreases in interest rates whereby future IO cash flows could be much less
than originally anticipated and in some cases could be less than the original
cost of the IO. The risks inherent in IOs are mitigated by holding offsetting
positions in PO's, PACs, and sequentials. During dramatic decreases in interest
rates POs, PACs and sequentials would generate future cash flows much quicker
than originally anticipated.
In 1993, due to declining interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool
of mortgages, the amortized cost on IO's was written down by $85.4 million. IO
writedowns of $4.7 million, net of $80.7 million allocated to experience-rated
contracts, were reflected in 1993 net realized capital gains (losses). In 1994,
due to increasing interest rates, unrealized gains on IO's increased from $0.5
million at December 31, 1993 to $17.8 million at December 31, 1994. Conversely,
unrealized gains on POs decreased from $36.7 million at December 31, 1993 to
$5.3 million at December 31, 1994. 1994 net realized gains (losses) included
net gains of $10.0 million as a result of sales of IOs and POs (including
amounts allocated to experience-rated contractholders).

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, 91% of outstanding policy loans had fixed
interest rates. The fixed interest rates for annuity policy loans ranged from
1% to 3% for individual annuity policies in both 1994 and 1993. The fixed
interest rates for individual life policy loans ranged from 5% to 8% in 1994
and 6% to 8% in 1993. The remaining outstanding policy loans had variable
interest rates averaging 8% in 1994 and 1993. Investment income from policy
loans was $11.5 million, $10.8 million and $9.5 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
At December 31, 1993, the Company had $149.0 million in outstanding forward
commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities at a specified future date
and at a specified price or yield. These instruments involve elements of market
risk whereby future changes in market prices may make a financial instrument
less valuable. However, the difference between the fair value at which the
commitments can be settled, and the contractual value of these securities, was
immaterial at December 31, 1993. There were no outstanding forward commitments
at December 31, 1994.
There were no material concentrations of off-balance sheet financial
instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

3. CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES ON INVESTMENT OPERATIONS
Realized capital gains or losses are the difference between proceeds received
from investments sold or prepaid, and amortized cost. Net realized capital
gains as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income are after
deductions for net realized capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-
rated contracts of $(29.1) million, $(54.8) million and $36.1 million for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Net realized
capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-rated contracts are deferred and
subsequently reflected in credited rates on an amortized basis. Net unamortized
gains (losses), reflected as a component of Policyholders' Funds Left With the
Company, were $(50.7) million and $(16.5) million at the end of December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
Changes to the mortgage loan valuation reserve and writedowns on debt
securities are included in net realized capital gains (losses) and amounted to
$1.1 million and $(98.5) million, of which $0.8 million and $(91.5) million
were allocable to experience-rated contractholders, for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. There were no changes to the
valuation reserve or writedowns in 1992. The 1993 losses were primarily related
to writedowns of interest-only mortgage-backed securities to their fair value.
Net realized capital gains (losses) on investments, net of amounts allocated to
experience-rated contracts, were as follows:

Net investment income includes amounts allocable to experience-rated
contractholders of $677.1 million, $661.3 million and $604.0 million for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Interest credited
to contractholders is included in Current and Future Benefits.
5. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS AND SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY
The amount of dividends that may be paid to the shareholder in 1995 without
prior approval by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Connecticut is
$70.9 million.
The Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut (the "Department")
recognizes as net income and shareholder's equity those amounts determined in
conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
Department, which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting
principles. Statutory net income was $70.9 million, $77.6 million and $62.5
million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Statutory shareholder's equity was $615.0 million and $574.4 million as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
As of December 31, 1994, the Company does not utilize any statutory accounting
practices which are not prescribed by insurance regulators that, individually
or in the aggregate, materially affect statutory shareholder's equity.
6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Aetna.
Aetna allocates to each member an amount approximating the tax it would have
incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group, and credits the member
for the use of its tax saving attributes in the consolidated return.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted FAS No. 109 as of January 1, 1992
resulting in a cumulative effect benefit of $22.8 million.
In August 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA) was
enacted which resulted in an increase in the federal corporate tax rate from
34% to 35% retroactive to January 1, 1993. The enactment of OBRA resulted in an
increase in the deferred tax liability of $3.4 million at date of enactment,
which is included in the 1993 deferred tax expense.
Components of income tax expense (benefits) were as follows:

Net unrealized capital gains and losses are presented in shareholder's equity
net of deferred taxes. At December 31, 1994, $81.0 million of net unrealized
capital losses were reflected in shareholder's equity without deferred tax
benefits. For federal income tax purposes, capital losses are deductible only
against capital gains in the year of sale or during the carryback and
carryforward periods (three and five years, respectively). Due to the expected
full utilization of capital gains in the carryback period and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
the uncertainty of future capital gains, a valuation allowance of $28.3 million
related to the net unrealized capital losses has been reflected in
shareholder's equity. In addition, $308.6 million of net unrealized capital
losses related to experience-rated contracts are not reflected in shareholder's
equity since such losses, if realized, are allocable to contractholders.
However, the potential loss of tax benefits on such losses is the risk of the
Company and therefore would adversely affect the Company rather than the
contractholder. Accordingly, an additional valuation allowance of $108.0
million has been reflected in shareholder's equity as of December 31, 1994. Any
reversals of the valuation allowance are contingent upon the recognition of
future capital gains in the Company's federal income tax return or a change in
circumstances which causes the recognition of the benefits to become more
likely than not. Non-recognition of the deferred tax benefits on net unrealized
losses described above had no impact on net income for 1994, but has the
potential to adversely affect future results if such losses are realized.
The "Policyholders' Surplus Account," which arose under prior tax law, is
generally that portion of a life insurance company's statutory income that has
not been subject to taxation. As of December 31, 1983, no further additions
could be made to the Policyholders' Surplus Account for tax return purposes
under the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984. The balance in such account was
approximately $17.2 million at December 31, 1994. This amount would be taxed
only under certain conditions. No income taxes have been provided on this
amount since management believes the conditions under which such taxes would
become payable are remote.
The Internal Revenue Service ("Service") has completed examinations of the
consolidated federal income tax returns of Aetna through 1986. Discussions are
being held with the Service with respect to proposed adjustments. However,
management believes there are adequate defenses against, or sufficient reserves
to provide for, such adjustments. The Service has commenced its examinations
for the years 1987 through 1990.
7. BENEFIT PLANS
Employee Pension Plans -- The Company, in conjunction with Aetna, has non-
contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all
employees. The plans provide pension benefits based on years of service and
average annual compensation (measured over sixty consecutive months of highest
earnings in a 120 month period). Contributions are determined using the Entry
Age Normal Cost Method and, for qualified plans subject to ERISA requirements,
are limited to the amounts that are currently deductible for tax reporting
purposes. The accumulated benefit obligation and plan assets are recorded by
Aetna. The accumulated plan assets exceed accumulated plan benefits. There has
been no funding to the plan for the years 1992 through 1994, and therefore, no
expense has been recorded by the Company.
Agent Pension Plans -- The Company, in conjunction with Aetna, has a non-
qualified pension plan covering certain agents. The plan provides pension
benefits based on annual commission earnings. The accumulated plan assets
exceed accumulated plan benefits. There has been no funding to the plan for the
years 1992 through 1994, and therefore, no expense has been recorded by the
Company.
Employee Postretirement Benefits -- In addition to providing pension benefits,
Aetna also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits, subject to certain caps, for retired employees. Medical and dental
benefits are offered to all full-time employees retiring at age 50 with at
least 15 years of service or at age 65 with at least 10 years of service.
Retirees are required to contribute to the plans based on their years of
service with Aetna.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Aetna implemented FAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions in 1992 on the immediate recognition basis. The
cumulative effect charge for all Aetna employees was reflected in Aetna's 1992
Statement of Income. Prior to the adoption of FAS No. 106, the cost of
postretirement benefits was charged to operations as payments were made. The
accumulated benefit obligation and plan assets are recorded by Aetna.
Accumulated postretirement benefits exceed plan assets.
The cost to the Company associated with the Aetna postretirement plans for
1994, 1993 and 1992 were $1.0 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million,
respectively.
Agent Postretirement Benefits -- The Company, in conjunction with Aetna, also
provides certain postemployment health care and life insurance benefits for
certain agents. The impact of recognizing the liability for agent costs was a
cumulative effect adjustment of $13.2 million (net of deferred taxes of $6.8
million) and is reported in the 1992 Consolidated Statement of Income.
The cost to the Company associated to the agents' postretirement plans for
1994, 1993 and 1992 were $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million,
respectively.
Incentive Savings Plan -- Substantially all employees are eligible to
participate in a savings plan under which designated contributions, which may
be invested in common stock of Aetna or certain other investments, are matched,
up to 5% of compensation, by Aetna. Pretax charges to operations for the
incentive savings plan were $3.3 million, $3.1 million and $2.8 million in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Stock Plans -- Aetna has a stock incentive plan that provides for stock options
and deferred contingent common stock or cash awards to certain key employees.
Aetna also has a stock option plan under which executive and middle management
employees of Aetna may be granted options to purchase common stock of Aetna at
the market price on the date of grant or, in connection with certain business
combinations, may be granted options to purchase common stock on different
terms. The cost to the Company associated to the Aetna stock plans for 1994 and
1993 was $2.3 million, $0.4 million, respectively. The cost for 1992 was
immaterial.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is compensated by the Separate Accounts for bearing mortality and
expense risks pertaining to variable life and annuity contracts. Under the
insurance contracts, the Separate Accounts pay the Company a daily fee which,
on an annual basis, ranges, depending on the product, from .70% to 1.80% of
their average daily net assets. The Company also receives fees from the
variable life and annuity mutual funds and The Aetna Series Fund for serving as
investment adviser. Under the advisory agreements, the Funds pay the Company a
daily fee which, on an annual basis, ranges, depending on the fund, from .25%
to 1.00% of their average daily net assets. The advisory agreements also call
for the variable funds to pay their own administrative expenses and for The
Aetna Series Fund to pay certain administrative expenses. The Company also
receives fees (expressed as a percentage of the average daily net assets) from
The Aetna Series Fund for providing administration shareholder services and
promoting sales. The amount of compensation and fees received from the Separate
Accounts and Funds, included in Charges Assessed Against Policyholders,
amounted to $104.6 million, $93.6 million and $80.5 million in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. The Company may waive advisory fees at its discretion.

The Company may, from time to time, make reimbursements to a Fund for some or
all of its operating expenses. Reimbursement arrangements may be terminated at
any time without notice.
Since 1981, all domestic individual non-participating life insurance of Aetna
and its subsidiaries has been issued by the Company. Effective December 31,
1988, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with Aetna Life
Insurance Company ("Aetna Life") in which substantially all of the non-
participating individual life and annuity business written by Aetna Life prior
to 1981 was assumed by the Company. A $108.0 million commission, paid by the
Company to Aetna Life in 1988, was capitalized as deferred policy acquisition
costs. The Company maintained insurance reserves of $690.3 million and $711.0
million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, relating to the
business assumed. In consideration for the assumption of this business, a loan
was established relating to the assets held by Aetna Life which support the
insurance reserves. The loan is being reduced in accordance with the decrease
in the reserves. The fair value of this loan was $630.3 million and $685.8
million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and is based upon the
fair value of the underlying assets. Premiums of $32.8 million, $33.3 million
and $36.8 million and current and future benefits of $43.8 million, $55.4
million and $47.2 million were assumed in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Investment income of $51.5 million, $53.3 million and $56.7 million was
generated from the reinsurance loan to affiliate in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Net income of approximately $25.1 million, $13.6 million and
$21.7 million resulted from this agreement in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
On December 16, 1988, the Company assumed $25.0 million of premium revenue from
Aetna Life for the purchase and administration of a life contingent single
premium variable payout annuity contract. In addition, the Company also is
responsible for administering fixed annuity payments that are made to
annuitants receiving variable payments. Reserves of $24.2 million and $27.8
million were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Effective February 1, 1992, the Company increased its retention limit per
individual life to $2.0 million and entered into a reinsurance agreement with
Aetna Life to reinsure amounts in excess of this limit, up to a maximum of $8.0
million on any new individual life business, on a yearly renewable term basis.
Premium amounts related to this agreement for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were
immaterial.
Effective December 31, 1992, the Company entered into an assumption reinsurance
agreement with Aetna Life to reinsure a block of approximately 3,500 life
contingent, period certain and deferred lump sum annuities (totaling $175.5
million in premium) issued by the Company to Aetna Casualty to fund its
obligations under structured settlement agreements. The negotiated price
recognized the sale of future profits and included consideration to ALIAC for
the continued administration of the reinsured contracts on behalf of, and in
the name of, Aetna Life.
The Company received no capital contributions in 1994, 1993 or 1992.
Premiums due and other receivables include $27.6 million and $9.8 million due
from affiliates in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Other liabilities include $27.9
million and $26.1 million due to affiliates for 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Substantially all of the administrative and support functions of the Company
are provided by Aetna and its affiliates. The financial statements reflect
allocated charges for these services based upon measures appropriate for the
type and nature of service provided.

9. REINSURANCE
The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to
large losses in all aspects of its insurance business. Such reinsurance permits
recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge
the primary liability of the Company as direct insurer of the risks reinsured.
The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and
continually monitors the financial condition of reinsurers. Only those
reinsurance recoverables deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on
the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table includes premium amounts ceded/assumed to/from affiliated
companies as discussed in Note 8 above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available
market information and judgments about the financial instrument, such as
estimates of timing and amount of expected future cash flows. Such estimates do
not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at
one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument,
nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or
losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by
comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in
immediate settlement of the instrument. In evaluating the Company's management
of interest rate and liquidity risk, the fair values of all assets and
liabilities should be taken into consideration, not only those above.
The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of the above financial instruments:
Short-term instruments: Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer
quotations. Where quoted market prices are not available, the carrying amounts
reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value. Short-term
instruments have a maturity date of one year or less and include cash and cash
equivalents, and short-term investments.
Debt and equity securities: Fair values are based on quoted market prices or
dealer quotations. Where quoted market prices or dealer quotations are not
available, fair value is estimated by using quoted market prices for similar
securities or discounted cash flow methods.
Mortgage loans: Fair value is estimated by discounting expected mortgage loan
cash flows at market rates which reflect the rates at which similar loans would
be made to similar borrowers. The rates reflect management's assessment of the
credit quality and the remaining duration of the loans. The fair value estimate
of mortgage loans of lower quality, including problem and restructured loans,
is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.
Investment contract liabilities (included in Policyholders' Funds Left With the
Company): With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash
flows at interest rates currently being offered by, or available to, the
Company for similar contracts.
Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the amount payable to the
contractholder upon demand. However, the Company has the right under such
contracts to delay payment of withdrawals which may ultimately result in paying
an amount different than that determined to be payable on demand.
11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective December 31, 1994, the Company's operations, which previously were
reported in total, will now be reported through two major business segments:
Life Insurance and Financial Services. The Life Insurance segment markets most
types of life insurance including universal life, interest-sensitive whole
life, and term insurance. These products are offered primarily to individuals,
small businesses, employer-sponsored groups and executives of Fortune 2000
companies. The Financial Services segment markets and services individual and
group annuity contracts which offer a variety of funding and distribution
options for personal and employer-sponsored retirement plans that qualify for
tax deferral under sections 401(k) for corporations, 403(b) for hospitals and
educational institutions, 408 for individual retirement accounts, and 457 for
state and local governments and tax exempt healthcare organizations (the
"deferred compensation market"), of the Internal Revenue Code. These contracts
may be immediate or deferred. These products are offered primarily to
individuals, pension plans, small businesses and employer-sponsored groups.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners
- -----------------------------------
As of March 31, 1995, there were 515,993 contract owners of variable
annuity contracts funded through Account C.
Item 28. Indemnification
- -------------------------
Reference is hereby made to Section 33-320a of the Connecticut General
Statutes ("C.G.S.") regarding indemnification of directors and officers of
Connecticut corporations. The statute provides in general that Connecticut
corporations shall indemnify their officers, directors, employees, agents, and
certain other defined individuals against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts
paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with
proceedings against the corporation. The corporation's obligation to provide
such indemnification does not apply unless (1) the individual is successful on
the merits in the defense of any such proceeding; or (2) a determination is made
(by a majority of the board of directors not a party to the proceeding by
written consent; by independent legal counsel selected by a majority of the
directors not involved in the proceeding; or by a majority of the shareholders
not involved in the proceeding) that the individual acted in good faith and in
the best interests of the corporation; or (3) the court, upon application by the
individual, determines in view of all the circumstances that such person is
reasonably entitled to be indemnified.
C.G.S. Section 33-320a provides an exclusive remedy: a Connecticut
corporation cannot indemnify a director or officer to an extent either greater
or less than that authorized by the statute, e.g., pursuant to its certificate
of incorporation, bylaws, or any separate contractual arrangement. However, the
statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification
insurance to provide greater indemnification rights. The premiums for such
insurance may be shared with the insured individuals on an agreed basis.
Consistent with the statute, Aetna Life and Casualty Company has procured
insurance from Lloyd's of London and several major United States excess insurers
for its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries, including the Depositor, which supplements the indemnification
rights provided by C.G.S. Section 33-320a to the extent such coverage does not
violate public policy.
Item 29. Principal Underwriter
- -------------------------------
(a) In addition to serving as the principal underwriter for the
Registrant, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (ALIAC) also acts
as the principal underwriter for Variable Life Account B and Variable
Annuity Account B (separate accounts of ALIAC registered as unit
investment trusts), and Separate Account I (a separate account of
Aetna Insurance Company of America registered as a unit investment
trust). Additionally, ALIAC is the investment adviser for Aetna

- -----------------------------
Not applicable
Item 32. Undertakings
- ----------------------
Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on
Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited
financial statements in the registration statement are never more than
sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable annuity
contracts may be accepted;
<PAGE>
(b) to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by
a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4, a
space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional
Information; and
(c) to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial
statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly
upon written or oral request.
(d) The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with
the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through (4) of the SEC Staff's
No-Action Letter dated November 22, 1988 with respect to language
concerning withdrawal restrictions applicable to plans established
pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. See American
Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1989 Transfer Binder]
Fed. SEC. L. Rep. (CCH) (P) 78,904 at 78,523 (November 22, 1988).
(e) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
