mortality and expense risk charge of 1.10% annually for all subaccounts except
the Aetna Money Market VP subaccount, and 0.35% annually for the Aetna Money
Market VP subaccount. The total fund expenses used are those shown in the
column "Total Annual Expenses Without Waivers or Reductions" in the Fund
Expense Table.

 * This example reflects deduction of an early withdrawal charge calculated
   using the schedule applicable to Installment Purchase Payment Contracts.
   Under that schedule, if only one $1,000 payment was made as described
   above, fewer than 5 purchase payment periods would have been completed at
   the end of years 1, 3 and 5, and the 5% charge would apply. At the end of
   the tenth account year, the early withdrawal charge is waived regardless of
   the number of purchase payment periods completed, and no early withdrawal
   charge would apply.

** This example does not apply if during the income phase, a nonlifetime
   payment option with variable payments is selected and a lump-sum withdrawal
   is requested within 3 years after payments start. In this case, the
   lump-sum payment is treated as a withdrawal during the accumulation phase
   and may be subject to an early withdrawal charge as shown in Example A.

B. FEES

The first paragraph of the section Fees Deducted from the
Subaccounts--Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is amended to read as follows:

Amount. For all subaccounts except the Aetna Money Market VP subaccount, 1.10%
annually of your account value invested in the subaccounts, to be reduced to
1.05% annually effective February 15, 2001, and 1.00% annually effective
February 15, 2002. For the Aetna Money Market VP subaccount, 0.35% annually of
your account value invested in the subaccount.

II. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

The section on Transfers is amended to add an additional paragraph at the end
of that section as follows:

The Dollar Cost Averaging Program. Subject to state approval, the contracts
allow you to participate in our Dollar Cost Averaging Program. There is no
additional charge for this service. Dollar cost averaging is a system for
investing that buys fixed dollar amounts of an investment at regular intervals,
regardless of price. Our program transfers, at regular intervals, a fixed
dollar amount to one or more subaccounts that you select. Dollar cost averaging
is not permitted into the Lexington Natural Resources Trust subaccount. Dollar
cost averaging neither ensures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a
declining market. You should consider your financial ability to continue
purchases through periods of low price levels. For additional information about
this program, contact your local representative or call the Company at the
number listed in "Contract Overview--Questions."

III. Appendix IV--Condensed Financial Information, is amended to include
financial data for the nine-month period ending September 30, 1999, as follows:

                         GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company," we, us, our) is a stock
life insurance company which was organized under the insurance laws of the State
of Connecticut in 1976. Through a merger, it succeeded to the business of Aetna
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly Participating Annuity Life
Insurance Company organized in 1954). As of December 31, 1998, the Company and
its subsidiary life company had $43 billion invested through their products,
including $29 billion in their separate accounts (of which the Company or an
affiliate oversees the management of $21 billion). The Company is ranked based
on assets among the top 2% of all life insurance companies rated by A.M. Best
Company as of December 31, 1997. The Company is an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Aetna Inc. The Company is engaged in the business of issuing life
insurance policies and annuity contracts. Our 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. We provide 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).

The Company has established the Opportunity Plus Processing Office to provide
administrative support to contract holders and participants investing in the
Opportunity Plus Contract. This office will handle enrollments, billing,
transfers, redemptions, and inquiries for all Opportunity Plus contract holders
and participants. All forms and correspondence should be sent to:

                    Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company
                    Opportunity Plus Processing Office
                    P. O. Box 12894
                    Albany, New York 12212-2894
                    Telephone number: 1-800-677-4636

Other than the mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense
charge described in the prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of
the separate account are borne by the Company. See "Fees" in the prospectus. We
receive reimbursement for certain administrative costs from some advisers of the
funds used as funding options under the contract. These fees generally range up
to 0.425%.

The assets of the separate account are held by the Company. The separate account
has no custodian. However, the funds in whose shares the assets of the separate
account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in their respective
prospectuses.

From this point forward, the term "contract(s)" refers only to those offered
through the prospectus.

* Transfers or deposits are not allowed into the subaccount investing in this
fund, except from accounts established under the contract before May 1, 1998. As
soon as all those who have current allocations to the subaccount under the
contract have redirected their allocations to other investment options, we will
close the subaccount to all investments (except loan repayments that we
automatically deposit into the subaccount according to our loan repayment
procedures).

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. We offer 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 "Contract - Ownership and Rights" and "Your Account Value."

                                PERFORMANCE DATA

General

From time to time, we may advertise different types of historical performance
for the subaccounts of the separate account available under the contracts. We
may advertise the "standardized average annual total returns," calculated in a
manner prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "standardized
return"), as well as "non-standardized returns," both of which are described
below.

The standardized and non-standardized total return figures are computed
according to a formula in which a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 is
applied to the various subaccounts under the contract, and then related to the
ending redeemable values over one, five and ten year periods (or fractional
periods thereof). The redeemable value is then divided by the initial investment
and this quotient is taken to the Nth root (N represents the number of years in
the period) and 1 is subtracted from the result which is then expressed as a
percentage, carried to at least the nearest hundredth of a percent. The
standardized figures use the actual returns of the fund since the date
contributions were first received in the fund under the separate account and
then adjust them to reflect the deduction of all applicable recurring charges
under the contracts during each period (e.g., mortality and expense risk
charges, administrative expense charges, if any, and early withdrawal charges).
These charges will be deducted on a pro rata basis in the case of fractional
periods. The total return figures shown below may be different from the actual
historical total return under your contract because for periods prior to 1994,
the subaccount's investment performance was based on the performance of the
underlying fund plus any cash held by the subaccount.

The non-standardized figures will be calculated in a similar manner, except that
they will not reflect the deduction of any applicable early withdrawal charge
(which would decrease the level of performance shown if reflected in these
calculations). The non-standardized figures may also include monthly, quarterly,
year-to-date and three year periods, and may include returns calculated from the
fund's inception date and/or the date contributions were first received in the
fund under the separate account.

Investment results of the subaccounts will fluctuate over time, and any
presentation of the subaccounts' total return quotations for any prior period
should not be considered as a representation of how the subaccounts will perform
in any future period. Additionally, the account value upon redemption may be
more or less than your original cost.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN QUOTATIONS - Standardized and Non-Standardized

The tables shown below show the average annual standardized and non-standardized
total return quotation figures for the periods ended September 30, 1999 for the
subaccounts under installment purchase payment contracts. Both sets of returns
reflect the 1.25% annual mortality and expense risk charge which was in effect
through September 30, 1999. The mortality and expense risk charge for all
subaccounts except the Aetna Money Market VP subaccount is 1.10% on an annual
basis effective February 15, 2000, 1.05% on an annual basis effective February
15, 2001, and 1.00% on an annual basis effective February 15, 2002. The
mortality and expense risk charge for the Aetna Money Market VP subaccount is
0.35% on an annual basis effective February 15, 2000. The standardized returns
reflect the deduction of the early withdrawal charge applicable to installment
purchase payment contracts. If we advertise standardized returns for single
purchase payment contracts they would not reflect the deduction of the early
withdrawal charge since that charge is not applicable to those contracts. The
non-standardized returns shown in the tables do not reflect the deduction of the
early withdrawal charge. For those subaccounts where results are not available
for the full calendar period indicated, performance for such partial periods is
shown in the column labeled "Since Inception." For standardized performance, the
"Since Inception" column shows average annual return since the date
contributions were first received in the fund under the separate account. For
non-standardized performance, the "Since Inception" column shows average annual
total return since the fund's inception date.

For the subaccounts funded by the Portfolio Partners portfolios, two sets of
performance returns are shown for each subaccount: one showing performance based
solely on the performance of the Portfolio Partners portfolio from November 28,
1997, the date the Portfolio commenced operations; and one quotation based on
(a) performance through November 26, 1997 of the fund it replaced under many
contracts and; (b) after November 26, 1997, based on the performance of the
Portfolio Partners portfolio.

                              INCOME PHASE PAYMENTS

When you begin receiving payments under the contract during the income phase
(see "Income Phase" in the prospectus), the value of your account is determined
using accumulation unit values as of the tenth valuation before the first
payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax) is applied to
provide payments to you in accordance with the payment options and investment
options elected.

The annuity option tables found in the contract show, for each option, the
amount of the first 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 payments will increase thereafter only to the extent
that the net investment rate increases by more than 5% on an annual basis.
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 income phase 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 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 to the next (see "Account
Value" in the prospectus); such fluctuations reflect changes in the net
investment factor for the appropriate subaccount(s) (with a ten valuation lag
which gives the Company time to process 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 income phase.

EXAMPLE:

Assume that, at the date 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 prior to retirement was $13.650000.
This produces a total value of $40,950.

Also assume that no premium tax is payable and that the annuity table in the
contract provides, for the payment option elected, a first monthly variable
payment of $6.68 per $1,000 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 upon the valuation on 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 subaccount is
1.0015000 as of the tenth valuation 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 (assume such value to be $13.504376)
to produce an Annuity Unit value of $13.523359 for the valuation occurring when
the second payment is due.


                                        8
<PAGE>


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.

                         SALES MATERIAL AND ADVERTISING

We may include hypothetical illustrations in our sales literature that explain
the mathematical principles of dollar cost averaging, compounded interest, tax
deferred accumulation, and the mechanics of variable annuity contracts. We may
also discuss the difference between variable annuity contracts and other types
of savings or investment products such as, personal savings accounts and
certificates of deposit.

We may distribute sales literature that compares the percentage change in
accumulation unit values for any of the subaccounts to established market
indices 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 that have investment objectives similar to the subaccount
being compared.

We may publish in advertisements and reports, 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. We may categorize funds in terms of the asset classes they
represent and use such categories in marketing material for the contracts. We
may illustrate in advertisements the performance of the underlying funds, if
accompanied by performance which also shows the performance of such funds
reduced by applicable charges under the separate account. We may also show in
advertisements the portfolio holdings of the underlying funds, updated at
various intervals. From time to time, we will quote articles from newspapers and
magazines or other publications or reports, such as The Wall Street Journal,
Money magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report.

We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other
materials information on various topics of interest to current and prospective
contract holders or participants. These topics may include the relationship
between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on
various securities markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value
investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant
ratio transfer and account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of
investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments, customer profiles and
hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios, financial management and tax and
retirement planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and
other financial instruments, including comparison between the contracts and the
characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.

                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

KPMG LLP, CityPlace II, Hartford, Connecticut 06103-4103, are the independent
auditors for the separate account and for the Company. The services provided to
the separate account include primarily the examination of the separate account's
financial statements and the review of filings made with the SEC.

Variable Annuity Account C
Notes to Financial Statements - December 31, 1998

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Variable Annuity Account C (the "Account") is a separate account
   established by Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company") and
   is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment
   trust. The Account is sold exclusively for use with variable annuity
   contracts that are qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
   amended.

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
   assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although actual results
   could differ from these estimates, any such differences are expected to be
   immaterial to the net assets of the Account.

   a. Valuation of Investments

   Investments in the following Funds are stated at the closing net asset
   value per share as determined by each Fund on December 31, 1998:

   b. Other

   Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis and
   dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of
   investments sold is determined by specific identification.

   c. Federal Income Taxes

   The operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total
   operations of the Company which is taxed as a life insurance company under
   the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

   d. Annuity Reserves

   Annuity reserves held in the Account are computed for currently payable
   contracts according to the Progressive Annuity, a49, 1971 Individual
   Annuity Mortality, 1971 Group Annuity Mortality, 83a, and 1983 Group
   Annuity Mortality tables using various assumed interest rates not to exceed
   seven percent. Mortality experience is monitored by the Company. Charges to
   annuity reserves for mortality experience are reimbursed to the Company if
   the reserves required are less than originally estimated. If additional
   reserves are required, the Company reimburses the Account.

2. Valuation Period Deductions

   Deductions by the Account for mortality and expense risk charges are made
   in accordance with the terms of the contracts and are paid to the Company.

                         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, 1998, and the related statements of operations and changes
in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and
condensed financial information for the year ended December 31, 1998. These
financial 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
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 and condensed
financial information are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and condensed financial information. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1998, by
correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and condensed financial information
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company Variable Annuity Account C
as of December 31, 1998, the results of its operations and changes in its net
assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and condensed
financial information for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Independent Auditors' 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 Subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
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, 1998. 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
statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.


In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiary at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.




                                                              /s/ KPMG LLP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


   Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company and its wholly owned subsidiary
   (collectively, the "Company") are providers of financial services in the
   United States. Prior to the sale of the domestic individual life insurance
   business on October 1, 1998, the Company had two business segments: financial
   services and individual life insurance. On October 1, 1998, the Company sold
   its domestic individual life insurance operations to Lincoln National
   Corporation ("Lincoln") and accordingly they are now classified as
   Discontinued Operations. (Refer to note 2)


   Financial services products include annuity contracts that offer a variety of
   funding and payout options for individual and employer-sponsored retirement
   plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408 and 457,
   and non-qualified annuity contracts. These contracts may be deferred or
   immediate ("payout annuities"). Financial services also include investment
   advisory services and pension plan administrative services.


   Discontinued Operations include universal life, variable universal life,
   traditional whole life and term insurance.


   Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------


   The consolidated financial statements include Aetna Life Insurance and
   Annuity Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aetna Insurance Company of
   America. Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company is a wholly owned
   subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc. ("HOLDCO"). HOLDCO is a wholly
   owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc. ("ARS"), whose ultimate
   parent is Aetna Inc. ("Aetna").


   The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
   generally accepted accounting principles. Certain reclassifications have been
   made to 1997 and 1996 financial information to conform to the 1998
   presentation.


   New Accounting Standards
   ------------------------


   Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information


   As of December 31, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard
   ("FAS") No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
   Information. This statement establishes standards for the reporting of
   information relating to operating segments. This statement supersedes FAS No.
   14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, which requires
   reporting segment information by industry and geographic area (industry
   approach). Under FAS No. 131, operating segments are defined as components of
   a company for which separate financial information is available and is used
   by management to allocate resources and assess performance (management
   approach). The adoption of this statement did not change the composition or
   the results of operations of any of the operating segments of the Company,
   which are consistent with the management approach.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


   Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed and Obtained for
   Internal Use


   On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1,
   Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
   Internal Use, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
   Accountants ("AICPA"). This statement requires that certain costs incurred in
   developing internal use computer software (in process at, and subsequent to
   the adoption date) be capitalized, and provides guidance for determining
   whether computer software is considered to be for internal use. The Company
   amortizes these costs over a period of 3 to 5 years. Previously, the Company
   expensed the cost of internal-use computer software as incurred. The adoption
   of this statement resulted in a net after-tax increase to the results of
   operations of $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.


   Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
   Extinguishments of Liabilities


   In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FAS
   No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
   Extinguishments of Liabilities, that provides accounting and reporting
   standards for transfers of financial assets and extinguishments of
   liabilities. FAS No. 125 was effective for 1997 financial statements;
   however, certain provisions relating to accounting for repurchase agreements
   and securities lending were not effective until January 1, 1998. The adoption
   of those provisions effective in 1998 did not have a material effect on the
   Company's financial position or results of operations.


   Future Application of Accounting Standards
   ------------------------------------------


   Deposit Accounting: Accounting for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That
     Do Not Transfer Insurance Risk


   In October 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-7, Deposit Accounting: Accounting
   for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do Not Transfer Insurance Risk,
   which provides guidance on how to account for all insurance and reinsurance
   contracts that do not transfer insurance risk, except for long-duration life
   and health insurance contracts. This statement is effective for the Company's
   financial statements beginning January 1, 2000, with early adoption
   permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of
   this statement and the potential effect on its financial position and results
   of operations.


   Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities


   In June 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
   Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires companies to
   record all derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities
   and measure those instruments at fair value. The manner in which companies
   are to record gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
   derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for
   hedge accounting. This standard is effective for the Company's financial
   statements beginning January 1, 2000, with early adoption permitted. The
   Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this statement and
   the potential effect on its financial position and results of operations.

   Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
   Assessments



   In December 1997, the AICPA issued SOP 97-3, Accounting by Insurance and
   Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments, which provides guidance
   for determining when an insurance or other enterprise should recognize a
   liability for guaranty-fund and other insurance-related assessments and
   guidance for measuring the liability. This statement is effective for 1999
   financial statements with early adoption permitted. The Company does not
   expect adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial
   position or results of operations.


   Use of Estimates
   ----------------


   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
   notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those
   estimates.



   Cash and Cash Equivalents
   -------------------------


   Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market instruments and
   other debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.


   Investments
   -----------


   Debt and equity securities are classified as available for sale and carried
   at fair value. These securities are written down (as realized capital losses)
   for other than temporary declines in value. Unrealized capital gains and
   losses related to available-for-sale investments, other than amounts
   allocable to experience-rated contractholders, are reflected in shareholder's
   equity, net of related taxes.


   Fair values for debt and equity 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. The
   Company does not accrue interest on problem debt securities when management
   believes the collection of interest is unlikely.


   The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its
   portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Initial
   collateral, primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value
   of a loaned domestic security and 105% of the market value of a loaned
   foreign security. The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending
   agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the
   Company's guidelines to generate additional income. The market value of the
   loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral
   obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


   At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company loaned securities (which are
   reflected as invested assets) with a fair value of approximately $277.3
   million and $385.1 million, respectively.


   Purchases and sales of debt and equity securities are recorded on the trade
   date.


   The investment in affiliated mutual funds represents an investment in Aetna
   managed mutual funds which have been seeded by the Company, and is carried at
   fair value.


   Mortgage loans and policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances, net
   of impairment reserves. Sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the closing
   date.


   Short-term investments, consisting primarily of money market instruments and
   other debt issues purchased with an original maturity of 91 days to one year,
   are considered available for sale and are carried at fair value, which
   approximates amortized cost.


   The Company utilizes futures contracts for other than trading purposes in
   order to hedge interest rate risk (i.e. market risk, refer to Note 4.)


   Futures contracts are carried at fair value and require daily cash
   settlement. Changes in the fair value of futures contracts allocable to
   experience rated contracts are deducted from capital gains and losses with an
   offsetting amount reported in future policy benefits. Changes in the fair
   value of futures contracts allocable to non-experienced-rated contracts that
   qualify as hedges are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the hedged
   asset or liability. Deferred gains or losses on such futures contracts are
   amortized over the life of the acquired asset or liability as a yield
   adjustment or through net realized capital gains or losses upon disposal of
   an asset. Changes in the fair value of futures contracts that do not qualify
   as hedges are recorded in net realized capital gains or losses. Hedge
   designation requires specific asset or liability identification, a
   probability at inception of high correlation with the position underlying the
   hedge, and that high correlation be maintained throughout the hedge period.
   If a hedging instrument ceases to be highly correlated with the position
   underlying the hedge, hedge accounting ceases at that date and excess gains
   or losses on the hedging instrument are reflected in net realized capital
   gains or losses.


   Included in common stock are warrants which represent the right to purchase
   specific securities. Upon exercise, the cost of the warrants is added to the
   basis of the securities purchased.


   Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
   ---------------------------------


   Certain costs of acquiring insurance business are deferred. These costs, all
   of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new and
   renewal business, consist principally of commissions, certain expenses of
   underwriting and issuing contracts, and certain agency expenses. For fixed
   ordinary life contracts (prior to the sale of the domestic individual life
   insurance business to Lincoln on October 1, 1998, refer to Note 2), such
   costs are amortized over expected premium-paying periods (up to 20 years).
   For universal life (prior to the sale of the domestic individual life
   insurance business to Lincoln on October 1, 1998, refer to Note 2), and
   certain annuity contracts,

   such costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits and
   adjusted to reflect actual gross profits over the life of the contracts (up
   to 50 years for universal life and up to 20 years for certain annuity
   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 are not adequate to cover related losses and expenses.


   Insurance Reserve Liabilities
   -----------------------------


   Future policy benefits include reserves for universal life, immediate
   annuities with life contingent payouts and traditional life insurance
   contracts. Prior to the sale of the domestic individual life insurance
   business on October 1, 1998, (refer to note 2), reserves for universal life
   products were equal to cumulative deposits less withdrawals and charges plus
   credited interest thereon, plus (less) net realized capital gains (losses)
   (which were reflected through credited interest rates). These reserves also
   included unrealized capital gains (losses) related to FAS No. 115. As a
   result of the sale and transfer of assets supporting the business, reserves
   for universal life products will no longer include net realized capital gains
   (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) related to FAS No. 115 for the years
   ended December 31, 1998 and beyond.


   Reserves for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts and traditional
   life insurance contracts are for immediate annuities with life
   contingent-payouts and traditional life insurance contracts are computed on
   the basis of assumed investment yield, mortality, and expenses, including a
   margin for adverse deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by plan, year
   of issue and policy duration. Reserve interest rates range from 1.50% to
   11.25% for all years presented. 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.


   Because the sale of the domestic individual life insurance business was
   substantially in the form of an indemnity reinsurance agreement, the Company
   reported an addition to its reinsurance recoverable approximating the
   Company's total individual life reserves at the sale date.


   Policyholders' funds left with the Company include reserves for deferred
   annuity investment contracts and immediate annuities without life contingent
   payouts. Reserves on such contracts are equal to cumulative deposits less
   charges and withdrawals plus credited interest thereon (rates range from
   3.00% to 8.10% for all years presented) net of adjustments for investment
   experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited
   interest. These reserves also include unrealized gains/losses related to FAS
   No. 115. Reserves on contracts subject to experience rating reflect the
   rights of contractholders, plan participants and the Company.


   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
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------


   For universal life (prior to the sale of the domestic individual life
   insurance business to Lincoln on October 1, 1998, refer to Note 2) and
   certain annuity contracts, charges assessed against policyholders' funds for
   the cost of insurance, surrender charges, actuarial margin and other fees are
   recorded as revenue in charges assessed against policyholders. Other amounts
   received for these contracts are reflected as deposits and are not recorded
   as revenue. Life insurance premiums, other than premiums for universal life
   (prior to the sale of the domestic individual life insurance business to
   Lincoln on October 1, 1998, refer to Note 2) and certain annuity contracts,
   are recorded as premium revenue when due. Related policy benefits are
   recorded in relation to the associated premiums or gross profit so that
   profits are recognized over the expected lives of the contracts. When annuity
   payments with life contingencies begin under contracts that were initially
   investment contracts, the accumulated balance in the account is treated as a
   single premium for the purchase of an annuity and reflected as an offsetting
   amount in both premiums and current and future benefits in the Consolidated
   Statements of Income.


   Separate Accounts
   -----------------


   Assets held under variable universal life and variable annuity contracts are
   segregated in Separate Accounts and are invested, as designated by the
   contractholder or participant under a contract (who bears the investment risk
   subject, in some cases, to minimum guaranteed rates) in shares of mutual
   funds which are managed by an affiliate of the Company, or other selected
   mutual funds not managed by the Company.


   As of December 31, 1998, Separate Accounts assets are carried at fair value.
   At December 31, 1998, unrealized gains of $10.0 million, after taxes, on
   assets supporting a guaranteed interest option are reflected in shareholder's
   equity. At December 31, 1997, Separate Account assets supporting the
   guaranteed interest option were carried at an amortized cost of $658.6
   million (fair value $668.7 million). Separate Accounts liabilities are
   carried at fair value, except for those relating to the guaranteed interest
   option. Reserves relating to the guaranteed interest option are maintained at
   fund value and reflect interest credited at rates ranging from 3.00% to 8.10%
   in 1998 and 4.10% to 8.10% in 1997.


   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 and losses of the Separate Accounts are not
   reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements (with the exception of
   realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on the assets supporting the
   guaranteed interest option). The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not
   reflect investment activity of the Separate Accounts.

   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 majority of the
   reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31,
   1998 is related to the reinsurance recoverable from Lincoln arising from the
   sale of the domestic life insurance business. (Refer to Note 2)


   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 expenses/benefits result from changes during the year in cumulative
   temporary differences between the tax basis and book basis of assets and
   liabilities.


2. Discontinued Operations-Individual Life Insurance


   On October 1, 1998, the Company sold its domestic individual life insurance
   business to Lincoln for $1 billion in cash. The transaction was generally in
   the form of an indemnity reinsurance arrangement, under which Lincoln
   contractually assumed from the Company certain policyholder liabilities and
   obligations, although the Company remains directly obligated to
   policyholders. Insurance reserves ceded as of December 31, 1998 were $2.9
   billion. Deferred policy acquisition costs related to the life policies of
   $907.9 million were written off against the gain on the sale. Certain
   invested assets related to and supporting the life policies were sold to
   consummate the life sale, and the Company recorded a reinsurance recoverable
   from Lincoln. The transaction resulted in an after-tax gain on the sale of
   approximately $117 million, of which $58 million will be deferred and
   amortized over approximately 15 years (as profits in the book of business
   sold emerge). The remaining portion of the gain was recognized immediately in
   net income and was largely attributed to the sale of the domestic life
   insurance business for access to the agency sales force and brokerage
   distribution channel. The unamortized portion of the gain is presented in
   other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.


   The operating results of the domestic individual life insurance business are
   presented as Discontinued Operations. All prior year income statement data
   has been restated to reflect the presentation as Discontinued Operations.
   Revenues for the individual life segment were $652.2 million, $620.4 million
   and $445.7 million for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Premiums ceded and
   reinsurance recoveries made in 1998 totaled $153.4 million and $57.7 million,
   respectively.

3. Investments (continued)


   There are various categories of CMOs which are subject to different degrees
   of risk from changes in interest rates and, for nonagency-backed CMOs,
   defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and
   extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in interest rates
   resulting in the repayment of principal from the underlying mortgages either
   earlier or later than originally anticipated. At December 31, 1998 and 1997,
   approximately 2% and 4%, respectively, of the Company's CMO holdings were
   invested in types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension
   risk than traditional CMOs (such as interest- or principal-only strips).


   Investments in equity securities available for sale as of December 31 were as
   follows:

   Estimated Fair Value

   financial instruments at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

   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 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, price and liquidity risks, the fair values of
   all assets and liabilities should be taken into consideration, not only those
   presented above.

<PAGE>

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


4. Financial Instruments (continued)


   The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
   estimating the fair value of the above financial instruments:


   Mortgage loans: Fair values are 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.


   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.


   Off-Balance-Sheet and Other Financial Instruments
   -------------------------------------------------


   Futures Contracts:


   Futures contracts are used to manage interest rate risk in the Company's bond
   portfolio. Futures contracts represent commitments to either purchase or sell
   securities at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield.
   Futures contracts trade on organized exchanges and, therefore, have minimal
   credit risk. Cash settlements are made daily based on changes in the prices
   of the underlying assets. The notional amounts, carrying values and estimated
   fair values of the Company's open treasury futures as of December 31, 1998
   were $250.9 million, $.1 million, and $.1 million, respectively.


   Warrants:


   Included in common stocks are warrants which are instruments giving the
   Company the right, but not the obligation to buy a security at a given price
   during a specified period. The carrying values and estimated fair values of
   the Company's warrants to purchase equity securities as of December 31, 1998
   were $1.5 million, respectively. The carrying values and estimated fair
   values as of December 31, 1997 were $.6 million, respectively.

   Debt Instruments with Derivative Characteristics:


   The Company also had investments in certain debt instruments with derivative
   characteristics, including those whose market value is at least partially
   determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or
   foreign interest rates (short- or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment
   rates, equity markets or credit ratings/spreads. The amortized cost and fair
   value of these securities, included in the debt securities portfolio, as of

6. Dividend Restrictions and Shareholder's Equity

   The Company paid $553.0 million and $17.3 million in cash dividends to HOLDCO
   in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 1998, the
   Company accrued $206.0 million in dividends. Of the $759.0 million dividends
   paid and accrued in 1998, $756.0 million (all of which was approved by the
   Insurance Commissioner of the State of Connecticut) was attributable to
   proceeds from the sale of the domestic individual life insurance business.


   In January 1999, the accrued dividends of $206.0 million were paid by the
   Company to HOLDCO. Further dividends to be paid by the Company to HOLDCO
   during 1999 will need to be approved by the Insurance Department of the State
   of Connecticut (the "Department") prior to payment.


   The Department recognizes as net income and shareholder's capital and surplus
   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
   $148.1 million, $80.5 million and $57.8 million for the years ended December
   31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was
   $773.0 million and $778.7 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
   respectively.


   As of December 31, 1998, the Company does not utilize any statutory
   accounting practices which are not prescribed by state regulatory authorities
   that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect statutory capital
   and surplus.


7. Capital Gains and Losses on Investment Operations


   Realized capital gains or losses are the difference between the carrying
   value and sale proceeds of specific investments sold.

   contracts, were deducted from net realized capital gains and an offsetting
   amount was reflected in Policyholders' funds left with the Company. Net
   unamortized gains were $118.6 million and $120.1 million at December 31, 1998
   and 1997, respectively.

8. Income Taxes


   The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return, the
   combined returns of Connecticut and New York, and the Illinois unitary state
   income tax returns 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 federal income tax return.


   Income taxes from continuing operations consist of the following:

</TABLE>

   Net unrealized capital gains and losses are presented in shareholder's equity
   net of deferred taxes. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, no valuation
   allowances were required for unrealized capital gains and losses.


   Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will
   realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset. The Company expects
   sufficient taxable income in the future to realize the net deferred tax asset
   because of the Company's long-term history of having taxable income, which is
   projected to continue.


   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, 1998. This amount would be
   taxed only under certain conditions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


8. Income Taxes (Continued)

   No income taxes have been provided on this amount since management believes
   under current tax law the conditions under which such taxes would become
   payable are remote.


   The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has completed examinations of
   the consolidated federal income tax returns of Aetna through 1990.
   Discussions are being held with the Service with respect to proposed
   adjustments. Management believes there are adequate defenses against, or
   sufficient reserves to provide for, any such adjustments. The Service has
   commenced its examinations for the years 1991 through 1994.


9. Benefit Plans


   Aetna has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
   substantially all employees. Aetna's accrued pension cost has been allocated
   to its subsidiaries, including the Company, under an allocation based on
   eligible salaries. Data on a separate company basis regarding the
   proportionate share of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets is
   not available. The accumulated benefit obligation and plan assets are
   recorded by Aetna. As of the measurement date (i.e., September 30), the
   accumulated plan assets exceeded accumulated plan benefits. Allocated pretax
   charges to operations for the pension plan (based on the Company's total
   salary cost as a percentage of Aetna's total salary cost) were $0.8 million,
   $2.7 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
   1996, respectively.


   In addition to providing pension benefits, Aetna currently provides certain
   health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. A
   comprehensive medical and dental plan is offered to all full-time employees
   retiring at age 50 with 15 years of service or at age 65 with 10 years of
   service. There is a cap on the portion of the cost paid by the Company
   relating to medical and dental benefits. Retirees are generally required to
   contribute to the plans based on their years of service with Aetna. The costs
   to the Company associated with the Aetna postretirement plans for 1998, 1997
   and 1996 were $0.9 million, $2.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.


   As of December 31, 1996, Aetna transferred to the Company approximately $77.7
   million of accrued liabilities, primarily related to the pension and
   postretirement benefit plans described above, that had been previously
   recorded by Aetna. The after-tax amount of this transfer (approximately $50.5
   million) is reported as a reduction in retained earnings.


   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. As of the measurement date (i.e., September 30), the
   accumulated plan assets exceeded accumulated plan benefits.


   The Company, in conjunction with Aetna, also provides certain postretirement
   health care and life insurance benefits for certain agents. The costs to the
   Company associated with the agents' postretirement plans for 1998, 1997 and
   1996 were $1.4 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.


   Effective January 1, 1999, the Company, in conjunction with Aetna, changed
   the formula for providing pension benefits from the existing final average
   pay formula to a cash balance formula,


                                      F-25
<PAGE>



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


 9. Benefit Plans (continued)


    which will credit employees annually with an amount equal to a percentage of
    eligible pay based on age and years of service as well as an interest credit
    based on individual account balances. The formula also provides for a
    transition period until December 1, 2006, which allows certain employees to
    receive vested benefits at the higher of the final average pay or cash
    balance formula. The changing of this formula will not have a material
    effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial
    condition.


    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 $4.7 million, $4.4 million and $5.4
    million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


    Stock Plans--Aetna has a stock incentive plan that provides for stock
    options, deferred contingent common stock or equivalent cash awards or
    restricted stock to certain key employees. Executive and middle management
    employees may be granted options to purchase common stock of Aetna at or
    above the market price on the date of grant. Options generally become 100%
    vested three years after the grant is made, with one-third of the options
    vesting each year. Aetna does not recognize compensation expense for stock
    options granted at or above the market price on the date of grant under its
    stock incentive plans. In addition, executives may be granted incentive
    units which are rights to receive common stock or an equivalent value in
    cash. The incentive units may vest within a range from 0% to 175% at the end
    of a four year period based on the attainment of performance goals. The
    costs to the Company associated with the Aetna stock plans for 1998, 1997
    and 1996, were $4.1 million, $2.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively. As
    of December 31, 1996, Aetna transferred to the Company approximately $1.1
    million of deferred tax benefits related to stock options. This amount is
    reported as an increase in retained earnings. In 1998, other changes in
    shareholder's equity include an additional increase of $0.7 million
    reflecting revisions to the allocation of the deferred tax benefit.


10. Related Party Transactions


    Investment Advisory and Other Fees
    ----------------------------------


    In February 1998 and May 1998, Aeltus Investment Management Inc. ("Aeltus"),
    an affiliate of the Company, assumed investment advisory services for Aetna
    managed mutual funds and variable funds (collectively, the Funds),
    respectively. In connection with that assumption of duties, Aeltus entered
    into participation agreements with the Company. Participation fees paid to
    the Company, from Aeltus, included in charges assessed against policyholders
    amounted to $26.9 million for 1998. Prior to assuming investment advisory
    services, Aeltus served as subadvisor to the Funds. Since August 1996,
    Aeltus has served as advisor for most of the Company's General Account
    assets. Fees paid by the Company to Aeltus, included in both charges
    assessed against policyholders and net investment income, on an annual
    basis, range from 0.06% to 0.55% of the average daily net assets under
    management. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the
    Company paid $21.7 million, $45.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively,
    in such fees.


    Prior to February 1998 and May 1998, the Company served as investment
    advisor to the Funds. Under the advisory agreements, the funds paid the
    Company a daily fee which, on an annual basis, ranged,

    depending on the fund, from 0.25% to 0.85% of their average daily net
    assets. The Company is also compensated by the Separate Accounts (variable
    funds) for bearing mortality and expense risks pertaining to variable life
    and annuity contracts. Under the insurance and annuity contracts, the
    Separate Accounts pay the Company a daily fee which, on an annual basis is,
    depending on the product, up to 2.15% of their average daily net assets. The
    amount of compensation and fees received from the Funds and Separate
    Accounts, included in charges assessed against policyholders, amounted to
    $287.0 million, $271.2 million and $186.6 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
    respectively.


    Reinsurance Transactions
    ------------------------


    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 $6.1 million and a $108.0
    million commission, paid by the Company to Aetna Life in 1996 and 1988,
    respectively, was capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs. 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. Effective January 1, 1997, this agreement was amended to
    transition (based on underlying investment rollover in Aetna Life) from a
    modified coinsurance to a coinsurance arrangement. As a result of this
    change, reserves were ceded to the Company from Aetna Life as investment
    rollover occurred and the loan previously established was reduced. The
    Company maintained insurance reserves of $574.5 million ($397.2 million
    relating to the modified coinsurance agreement and $177.3 million relating
    to the coinsurance agreement) as of December 31, 1997 relating to the
    business assumed. The fair value of the loan relating to assets held by
    Aetna Life was $412.3 million as of December 31, 1997 and was based upon the
    fair value of the underlying assets.


    Effective October 1, 1998, this agreement was fully transitioned to a
    coinsurance arrangement and this business along with the Company's direct
    domestic individual non-participating life insurance business was sold to
    Lincoln. (Refer to note 2).


    The operating results of the domestic individual life business are presented
    as Discontinued Operations. Premiums of $336.3 million, $176.7 million and

    renewable term basis. Premium amounts related to this agreement were $4.4
    million and $0.7 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The business
    assumed under this agreement was retroceded to Lincoln effective October 1,
    1998.


    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 is
    also responsible for administering fixed annuity payments that are made to
    annuitants receiving variable payments. Reserves of $87.8 million and $32.5
    million were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
    respectively.


    Capital Transactions
    --------------------


    The Company received a capital contribution of $9.3 million and $10.4
    million in cash from HOLDCO in 1998 and 1996, respectively. The Company
    received no capital contributions in 1997.


    The Company paid $553.0 million, $17.3 million and 3.5 million in cash
    dividends to HOLDCO in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Additionally, in
    1998, the Company accrued $206.0 million in dividends. (Refer to Note 6)

    due from affiliates in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Other liabilities
    include $2.2 million and $1.2 million due to affiliates for 1998 and 1997,
    respectively.


    As of December 31, 1998, Aetna transferred to the Company $0.7 million based
    on its decision not to settle state tax liabilities for the years 1998 and
    1997. The amount transferred as of December 31, 1997 was $2.5 million. This
    amount has been reported as an other change in retained earnings.


    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.


11. Reinsurance


    On October 1, 1998, the Company sold its domestic individual life insurance
    business to Lincoln for $1 billion in cash. The transaction is generally in
    the form of an indemnity reinsurance arrangement, under which Lincoln
    contractually assumed from the Company certain policyholder liabilities and
    obligations, although the Company remains directly obligated to
    policyholders. (Refer to note 2)


    Effective January 1, 1998, 90% of the mortality risk on substantially all
    individual universal life product business written from June 1, 1991 through
    October 31, 1997 was reinsured externally. Beginning November 1, 1997, 90%
    of new business written on these products was reinsured externally.
    Effective October 1, 1998 this agreement was assigned from the third party
    reinsurer to Lincoln.

13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities


    Commitments
    -----------


    Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to
    either purchase or sell securities or money market instruments at a
    specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of
    counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either higher or
    lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of
    the securities underlying the commitments. At December 31, 1998 and 1997,
    the Company had commitments to purchase investments of $68.7 million and
    $38.7 million, respectively. The fair value of the investments at December
    31, 1998 and 1997 approximated $68.9 million and $39.0 million,
    respectively.


    Litigation
    ----------


    The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits arising, for the most part, in
    the ordinary course of its business operations. While the ultimate outcome
    of litigation against the Company cannot be determined at this time, after

Item 26. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or
Registrant

     Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 of Registration Statement on
Form N-4 (File No. 333-56297), as filed on November 23, 1999.

Item 27.      Number of Contract Owners

     As of October 31, 1999, there were 588,367 individuals holding interests in
variable annuity contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account C.

Item 28. Indemnification

Section 21 of Public Act No. 97-246 of the Connecticut General Assembly (the
"Act") provides that a corporation may provide indemnification of or advance
expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by Sections
33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended by
Sections 12 to 20, inclusive, of this Act. Reference is hereby made to Section
33-771(e) of the Connecticut General Statutes ("CGS") regarding indemnification
of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of officers,
employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. These statutes provide in
general that Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997
shall, except to the extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly
provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents
against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement,
penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee
benefit plan, or

<PAGE>

reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a
determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking
indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or
(2) a court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to
Section 33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the authorization
for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested directors, as defined in
Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) in
the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation,
by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board
of directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 provides that a corporation shall
indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise
against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to
which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation. In the case
of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or with respect to conduct
for which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the
basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled,
indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
the proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a
party.

The statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification
insurance on behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employer or
agent of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, Aetna Inc. 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.

Item 29. Principal Underwriter

     (a) In addition to serving as the principal underwriter and depositor for
         the Registrant, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (Aetna) also
         acts as the principal underwriter, only, for Aetna Variable Encore
         Fund, Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna Generation Portfolios, Inc., Aetna
         Income Shares, Aetna Balanced VP, Inc. (formerly Aetna Investment
         Advisers Fund, Inc.), Aetna GET Fund, and Aetna Variable Portfolios,
         Inc. and as the principal underwriter and investment adviser for
         Portfolio Partners, Inc. (all management investment companies
         registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)).
         Additionally, Aetna acts as the principal underwriter and depositor for
         Variable Life Account B of Aetna, Variable Annuity Account B of Aetna
         and Variable Annuity Account G of Aetna (separate accounts of Aetna
         registered as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act). Aetna is also
         the principal underwriter for Variable Annuity Account I of Aetna
         Insurance Company of America (AICA) (a separate account of AICA
         registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act).

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 28, 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, [1988 WL 1235221 *13
         (S.E.C.)]

     (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.

     (f) Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that the fees and
         charges deducted under the contracts covered by this registration
         statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services
         rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed
         by the insurance company.

      File Nos.:  33-75962* and 811-2513

Dear Sir or Madam:

The undersigned serves as counsel to Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company, a
Connecticut life insurance company (the "Company"). It is my understanding that
the Company, as depositor, has registered an indefinite amount of securities
(the "Securities") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") as
provided in Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment
Company Act").

In connection with this opinion, I or those for whom I have supervisory
responsibility, have reviewed the N-4 Registration Statement, as amended to the
date hereof, and this Post-Effective Amendment No. 20. I have also examined
originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of
such documents, trust records and other instruments I have deemed necessary or
appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion. For purposes of such
examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original
documents and the conformity to the original of all copies.

I am admitted to practice law in Connecticut, and do not purport to be an expert
on the laws of any other state. My opinion herein as to any other law is based
upon a limited inquiry thereof which I have deemed appropriate under the
circumstances.

- --------
*    Pursuant to Rule 429(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, Registrant has
     included a combined prospectus under this Registration Statement which
     includes all the information which would currently be required in a
     prospectus relating to the securities covered by the following earlier
     Registration Statement: 33-75978.

<PAGE>

Based upon the foregoing, and, assuming the Securities are sold in accordance
with the provisions of the prospectus, I am of the opinion that the Securities
being registered will be legally issued and will represent binding obligations
of the Company.

I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Sincerely,

/s/ Julie E. Rockmore
