The Contracts. The contracts described in this prospectus are group deferred
variable annuity contracts issued by Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company
(the Company). They are intended to be used as funding vehicles for certain
types of retirement plans, including those that qualify for beneficial tax
treatment and/or to provide current income reduction under certain sections of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Tax Code).


- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why Reading this Prospectus is Important. Before you participate in the
contract through a retirement plan, you should read this prospectus. It
provides facts about the contract and its investment options. Plan sponsors
(generally your employer) should read this prospectus to help determine if the
contract is appropriate for their plan. Keep this document for future
reference.

Table of Contents . . . page 4
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may participate in this contract if you are an eligible employee
participating in the State University of New York (SUNY) defined contribution
retirement plan or any predecessor SUNY plan under section 403(b) of the Tax
Code.


Investment Options. The contracts offer variable investment options and fixed
interest options. When we establish your account, you instruct us to direct
account dollars to any of the available options. Some investment options may be
unavailable through certain contracts and plans.


Variable Investment Options. These options are called subaccounts. The
subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account C (the separate account). Each
subaccount invests in one of the mutual funds (funds) listed on this page.
Earnings on amounts invested in a subaccount will vary depending upon the
performance of its underlying fund. You do not invest directly in or hold
shares of the funds.

Risks Associated with Investing in the Funds. Information about the risks of
investing in the funds is located in the "Investment Options" section in this
prospectus at page 12 and in each fund prospectus. Read this prospectus in
conjunction with the fund prospectuses, and retain the prospectuses for future
reference.

Getting Additional Information. You may obtain the May 1, 2000 Statement of
Additional Information (SAI) by indicating your request on your enrollment
materials or calling the Company at 1-800-677-4636. You may also obtain an SAI
for any of the funds by calling that number. The SEC also makes available to
the public reports and information about the separate account and the funds.
Certain reports and information, including this prospectus and SAI, are
available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC's web site, www.sec.gov, or at the
SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. You may call 1-202-942-8090 to
get information about the operations of the public reference room. You may
obtain copies of reports and other information about the separate account and
the funds, after paying a duplicating fee, by sending an e-mail request to:

 * Effective May 15, 2000, transfers or deposits are not allowed into the
   subaccount investing in this fund except those made pursuant to standing
   customer instructions (e.g., payroll deduction allocations) in effect prior
   to this date. See "Important Information Regarding Aetna Index Plus Bond VP
   Subaccount".

** 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.

Additional Disclosure Information. Neither the SEC, nor any state securities
commission, has approved or disapproved the securities offered through this
prospectus or passed on the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. This prospectus is valid
only when accompanied by current prospectuses of the funds and the Guaranteed
Accumulation Account. We do not intend for this prospectus to be an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities in any state that
does not permit their sale. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with
information that is different than that contained in this prospectus.


Fixed Interest Options.

>Guaranteed Accumulation Account

>Fixed Plus Account

Except as specifically mentioned, this prospectus describes only the variable
investment options. However, we describe the fixed interest options in the
appendices to this prospectus. There is also a separate prospectus for the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account.

Important Information Regarding Aetna Index Plus Bond VP Subaccount

Subaccount to be Closed to New Investments.

Effective May 15, 2000, the Aetna Index Plus Bond VP subaccount will no longer
be available for new investment. After that date, the Company will only accept
deposits into this subaccount that are made pursuant to standing customer
instructions (e.g., payroll deduction allocations, etc.) in effect before the
close of business on May 12, 2000.

Fund Shares to be Substituted with Shares of Aetna Money Market VP.

Plan of Substitution. On or before September 1, 2000, subject to applicable
regulatory approvals and the requisite vote of shareholders of the fund, all
existing balances in Aetna Index Plus Bond VP will be invested in (substituted
with) shares of Aetna Money Market VP. Contract owners or participants will not
incur any fees or charges as a result of the substitution. In addition, on and
after September 1, 2000, all investment allocations then being directed to the
Aetna Index Plus Bond VP subaccount will be redirected to the Aetna Money Market
VP subaccount. The Company believes that the substitution will not create any
tax liability for contract owners or participants.

Transfer Rights. At any time prior to the date of substitution, contract owners
or participants may transfer their accumulation values from the subaccounts
investing in substituted funds into any other investment options available
under the contract, and no transfer fees or other charges will be imposed. From
and after the date of substitution, contract owners or participants who had
values transferred from a subaccount as a result of a substitution may transfer
among any of the remaining investment options in accordance with the terms of
the contract, also free of any transfer fees and charges.

                     Prospectus - May 1, 2000 (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Surrender Rights. If a contract owner or participant whose shares are
substituted elects to make a surrender under the contract (if permitted by the
plan and applicable tax law) within 30 days after the date of the substitution,
the Company will waive any early withdrawal charge on amounts transferred as a
result of the substitution. This offer to waive the early withdrawal charge
will not apply to amounts transferred after April 10, 2000 from the other
investment options to the Aetna Index Plus Bond VP subaccount. A contract owner
or participant who exercises this surrender right may incur income tax
liability and a tax penalty. See the "Taxation" section of this prospectus for
a discussion of tax consequences resulting from surrender. Contract owners or
participants should seek qualified tax advice before exercising their surrender
rights.

Contract Overview

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a summary. Please read each section of this prospectus for
additional information.


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   Who's Who

You (the participant): The individual participating in a retirement plan, where
the plan uses the contracts as funding options.

Plan Sponsor: The sponsor of your retirement plan. Generally, your employer.

Contract Holder: The person or entity to whom we issue the contracts. The
contract holder is the trustee of a multiple employer trust approved by the
Company to apply for and own the contracts as authorized by SUNY.


We, Us, Our (the Company): Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company. We issue
the contract.



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     The Contract and Your Retirement Plan

Retirement plan (plan). A plan sponsor has established a retirement plan for
you. The contracts are offered as funding options for that plan. We are not a
party to the plan, so the terms and the conditions of the contracts and the
plan may differ.

Plan Type. We refer to plans in this prospectus as 403(b), 401(a) and 414(h)
plans. For a description, see "Taxation."


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                Contract Rights

Under each contract, we establish an employee account and an employer account
for you. You have a nonforfeitable right to the value of your employee account
and employer account, as determined by the plan administrator in accordance
with the terms of the plan. You may exercise certain rights under the contract
as permitted by the plan. See "Contract Ownership and Rights."


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 Contract Facts


Free Look/Right to Cancel. Participants may cancel their purchase no later than
10 days after they receive the document evidencing their participation in the
contract. See "Right To Cancel."

Death Benefit. A beneficiary may receive a benefit in the event of your death
prior to the income phase. Death benefits during the income phase depend upon
the payment option selected. See "Death Benefit" and "The Income Phase."

Withdrawals. During the accumulation phase, you may, subject to the limits in
the contract and certification from the plan administrator that you are
eligible, withdraw all or a part of your account value. Certain fees and taxes
may apply. See "Withdrawals" and "Taxation." Amounts withdrawn from the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account may be subject to market value adjustment. See
Appendix I.

Systematic Distribution Options. Subject to the terms of the plan, you may
elect to receive regular payments from your account, while retaining the
account in the accumulation phase. See "Systematic Distribution Options."



                                                                               5
<PAGE>

Fees. Certain fees are deducted from your account value. See "Fee Table" and
"Fees."


Taxation. You will generally not pay taxes on any earnings from the annuity
contract described in this prospectus until they are withdrawn. Tax-qualified
retirement arrangements (e.g. 403(b) and 401(a) plans) also defer payment of
taxes on earnings until they are withdrawn. When an annuity contract is used to
fund a tax-qualified retirement arrangement, you should know that the annuity
contract does not provide any additional tax deferral of earnings beyond the
tax deferral provided by the tax-qualified retirement arrangement. However,
annuities do provide other features and benefits which may be valuable to you.
You should discuss your alternatives with your financial representative.

Taxes will generally be due when you receive a distribution. Tax penalties may
apply in some circumstances. See "Taxation."

STEP 2: You direct us to invest your account dollars in one or more of the
following investment options:
a) Fixed Interest Options: or
b) Variable Investment Options. (The variable investment options are the
    subaccounts of Variable Annuity Account C. Each one invests in a specific
    mutual fund.)

STEP 3: The subaccount(s) selected purchases shares of its corresponding fund.





II. The Income Phase. (receiving income phase payments from your contract)

If you wish to begin receiving payments from your contract, you may elect from
the options available. The contract offers several income phase payment
options. See "The Income Phase." In general, you may:

>Receive income phase payments over a lifetime or for a specified period;

>Receive income phase payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually;

>Select an income phase payment option that provides a death benefit to your
 beneficiary(ies); or

>Select fixed income phase payments or payments that vary based upon the
 performance of the variable investment options you select.



                                                                               7

Fees Deducted by the Funds
Using this Information. The following table shows the investment advisory fees
and other expenses charged annually by each fund. Fund fees are one factor that
impacts the value of a fund share. To learn about additional factors, refer to
the fund prospectus.


How Fees are Deducted. Fund fees are not deducted from account values. Instead,
fees are deducted from the value of fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn
will affect the value of each subaccount on a daily basis. Except as noted
below, the following figures are a percentage of the average net assets of each
fund, and are based on figures for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Footnotes to the "Fund Expense Table"

(1)   Certain of the 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 generally
      paid out of the Investment Advisory Fees and are not charged to
      investors.

(2)   The investment adviser is contractually obligated through December 31,
      2000 to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee and/or its
      administrative services fee and/or to reimburse a portion of other
      expenses in order to ensure that the fund's "Total Fund Annual Expenses
      Without Waivers or Reductions" do not exceed the percentage reflected
      under "Net Fund Annual Expenses After Waivers or Reductions."

(3)   "Other Expenses" reflect an indirect fee of 0.03% relating to an expense
      offset arrangement with the portfolio's custodian. The amount shown under
      Total Waivers and Reductions does not reflect a voluntary reduction of
      fees paid indirectly. If this voluntary reduction of fees paid indirectly
      was reflected, the amount shown under Net Fund Annual Expenses After
      Waiver or Reductions would be 0.86%.

(4)   A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
      reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with certain
      funds', or the investment adviser on behalf of certain funds', custodian,
      credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to
      reduce a portion of each applicable fund's expenses. These credits are
      not included under Total Waivers and Reductions. If these credits had
      been included, the amounts shown under Net Fund Annual Expenses After
      Waivers or Reductions presented in the table would have been 0.56% for
      Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio; 0.62% for Fidelity VIP II Asset
      Manager Portfolio; and 0.65% for Fidelity VIP II Contrafund[RegTM]
      Portfolio.

(5)   The investment adviser agreed to reimburse a portion of Fidelity VIP II
      Index 500 Portfolio's expenses during the period.

(6)   Expenses are based upon expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31,
      1999, restated to reflect a reduction in the management fee for
      Aggressive Growth, Growth and Worldwide Growth Portfolios. All expenses
      are shown without the effect of expense offset arrangements.

(7)   The series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the series'
      custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the series with
      its custodian and dividend disbursing agent. The series may enter into
      other such arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements, which would
      also have the effect of reducing the series' expenses. The "Other
      Expenses" shown above do not take into account these expense reductions,
      and are therefore higher than the actual expenses of the series. Had
      these fee reductions been taken into account, Net Fund Annual Expenses
      After Waivers or Reductions would be lower and would equal 0.89% for the
      series.

(8)   The investment adviser has agreed to reimburse the portfolios for
      expenses and/or waive its fees, so that, through at least April 30, 2001,
      the aggregate of each portfolio's expenses will not exceed the combined
      investment advisory fees and other expenses shown under the Net Fund
      Annual Expenses After Waivers or Reductions column above.

Hypothetical Examples

Account Fees Incurred Over Time. The following hypothetical examples show the
fees paid over time if $1,000 is invested in a subaccount, assuming a 5% annual
return on the investment. For the purpose of these examples, we deducted a
mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% annually and the maximum
administrative expense charge of 0.25% annually (the administrative expense
charge is not currently being charged). The total fund expenses are those shown
in the column "Total Annual Expenses Without Waivers or Reductions" in the Fund
Expense Table.


> These examples are purely hypothetical.
> They should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses or
  expected returns.
> Actual expenses and/or returns may be
  more or less than those shown in these
  examples.

Condensed Financial Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In Appendix IV, we provide
condensed financial information about the Variable Annuity Account C (the
separate account) subaccounts available under the contracts. The tables show
the value of the subaccounts over the past 10 years. For subaccounts that were
not available 10 years ago, we give a history from the date of first
availability.




Investment Options


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contract offers variable investment options and fixed interest options.
When we establish your account(s), you instruct us to direct account dollars to
any of the available options.



Variable Investment Options. These options are called subaccounts. The
subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account C (the separate account), a
separate account of the Company. Each subaccount invests in a specific mutual
fund. Earnings on amounts invested in a subaccount will vary depending upon the
performance and fees of its underlying fund. You do not invest directly in or
hold shares of the funds.

> Fund Descriptions. We provide brief descriptions of the funds in Appendix III.
  Please refer to the fund prospectuses for additional information. Fund
  prospectuses may be obtained free of charge, from the Aetna Processing Office
  at the address and phone number listed in "Contract Overview-Questions" or by
  contacting the SEC's website, or the SEC Public Reference Room.



Fixed Interest Options. For descriptions of the fixed interest options, see
Appendix I and II and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus.


Selecting Investment Options

o Choose options appropriate for you. Your Aetna representative can help you
  evaluate which investment options may be appropriate for your financial
  goals.

o Understand the risks associated with the options you choose. Some subaccounts
  invest in funds that are considered riskier than others. Funds with
  additional risks are expected to have a value that rises and falls more
  rapidly and to a greater degree than other funds. For example, funds
  investing in foreign or international securities are subject to additional
  risks not associated with domestic investments, and their performance may
  vary accordingly. Also, funds using derivatives in their investment strategy
  may be subject to additional risks.

o Be informed. Read this prospectus, the fund prospectuses, the fixed interest
  option appendices and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus.


Limits on Option Availability. Some funds and fixed interest options may not be
available through certain contracts or plans. We may add, withdraw or
substitute funds, subject to the conditions in the contract and in compliance
with regulatory requirements.


Limits on Number of Options Selected. No more than 18 investment options may be
selected for your account at any one time during the accumulation phase.



12
<PAGE>


Each subaccount, the Fixed Plus Account and each classification of the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account counts as one option.


Limits Imposed by the Underlying Fund. Orders for the purchase of fund shares
may be subject to acceptance by the fund. We reserve the right to reject,
without prior notice, any allocation of a purchase payment to a subaccount if
the subaccount's investment in the corresponding fund is not accepted by the
fund for any reason.



Additional Risks of Investing in the Funds. (Mixed and Shared Funding)

"Shared funding" occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for
variable annuity contracts, are also bought by other insurance companies for
their variable annuity contracts.

"Mixed funding" occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for
variable annuity contracts, is bought for variable life insurance contracts
issued by us or other insurance companies.

> Shared--bought by more than one company

> Mixed--bought for annuities and life insurance

It is possible that a conflict of interest may arise due to mixed and/or shared
funding, that could adversely impact the fund. For example, if a conflict of
interest occurred and one of the subaccounts withdrew its investment in a fund,
the fund may be forced to sell its securities at disadvantageous prices,
causing its share values to decrease. Each fund's board of directors or
trustees will monitor events to identify any conflicts which might arise and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken to address such conflicts.




Transfers
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transfers Among Investment Options. During the accumulation phase, you may
transfer among investment options. You may make a request in writing, by
telephone or, where applicable, electronically. Transfers must be made in
accordance with the terms of the contract and your plan. Transfers from fixed
interest options are restricted as outlined in Appendices I and II. You may not
make transfers once you enter the income phase.


Value of Transferred Dollars. The value of amounts transferred into or out of
subaccounts will be based on the subaccount unit values next determined after
we receive your request in good order at our Home Office.


Telephone and Electronic Transfers: Security Measures. To prevent fraudulent
use of telephone and electronic transactions (including, but not limited to,
internet transactions), we have established security procedures. These include
recording calls on our toll-free telephone lines and requiring use of a
personal identification number (PIN) to execute transactions. You are
responsible for keeping your PIN and account information confidential. If we
fail to follow reasonable security procedures, we may be liable for losses due
to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone or other electronic transactions. We
are not liable for losses resulting from following telephone or electronic
instructions we believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such
instructions, you will bear the loss.



                                                                              13
<PAGE>


Limits on Frequent Transfers. The contracts are not designed to serve as
vehicles for frequent trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the
market. Such frequent trading can disrupt management of a fund and raise its
expenses. This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance.
Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market-timing investment
strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase the contracts.

We reserve the right to restrict, in our sole discretion and without prior
notice, transfers initiated by a market-timing organization or individual or
other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple
contract holders or participants. Such restrictions could include: (1) not
accepting transfer instructions from an agent acting on behalf of more than one
contract holder or participant; and (2) not accepting preauthorized transfer
forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one
contract holder or participant at a time.

We further reserve the right to impose, without prior notice, restrictions on
any transfers that we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or
potentially hurt the rights or interests of other contract holders or
participants.




Contract Purchase or Participation
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contracts Available for Purchase. The contracts available for purchase are
group flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts that the Company
offers in connection with retirement plans under Code Section 403(b), 401(a)
and 414(h). They are designed to fund the State University of New York (SUNY)
defined contribution retirement plan, (the SUNY Plan) and to accept transfers
of amounts made to the predecessor program which is qualified under Section
403(b) of the Code.

There are two group deferred variable annuity contracts:

1) The rollover contracts, for transferred assets from the predecessor Section
   403(b) optional retirement program; and
2) The modal contracts for ongoing contributions and transferred assets from
   the SUNY Plan, a plan qualified under sections 401(a) and 414(h) of the
   Code.


Purchasing the Contract. The contract holder submits the required forms and
application to the Company. We approve the forms and issue a contract to the
contract holder.


Participating in the Contract. To participate in the contract, complete an
enrollment form and submit it to the Aetna Processing Office. (See "Contract
Overview -- Questions.") If your enrollment is accepted, we establish an
employee account and an employer account for each participant.


> Under the rollover contract, we will allocate purchase payments attributable
  to transfers of after-tax employee contributions made to a predecessor 403(b)
  plan to the employee account, and purchase payments attributable to a transfer
  of employer contributions made under the same plan to the employer account.


> Under the modal contract, we will allocate funds attributable to Code section
  414(h) contributions from another investment provider under the SUNY Plan to
  an employee account, and ongoing payments under Code section 401(a) and
  transferred funds attributable to Code section 401(a) contributions from
  another investment provider to an employer account.


14
<PAGE>


Acceptance or Rejection of Application or Enrollment Forms. We must accept or
reject an application or your enrollment forms within two business days of
receipt. If the application or enrollment forms are incomplete, we may hold any
forms and accompanying purchase payments for five days, unless you consent to
our holding them longer. Under limited circumstances, we may also agree, for a
particular plan, to hold purchase payments for longer periods with the
permission of the contract holder. If we agree to this, we will deposit the
payments in the Aetna Money Market VP subaccount until the forms are completed
(for a maximum of 105 days). If we reject the application or enrollment forms,
we will return the forms and any payments.


Allocating Purchase Payments to the Investment Options. You direct us to
allocate initial purchase payments among the investment options available under
the plan. Generally you will specify this information on your enrollment
materials. After your enrollment, changes to allocations for future purchase
payments or transfer of existing balances among investment options may be
requested in writing and, where available, by telephone or electronically.

Allocations must be in whole percentages and there may be limitations on the
number of investment options that can be selected at any one time. See
"Investment Options" and "Transfers."



Contract Ownership and Rights
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who owns the Contract? We issue the contract to a trustee of a multiple
employer trust that has applied for and owns the contract as authorized by SUNY
and the Company.

Who Owns Money Accumulated under the Contract? You have a nonforfeitable value
of your employee account and employer account, as determined by the plan
administrator in accordance with the terms of the plan.


What Rights Do I Have under the Contract? You may select the investment options
to be used for allocations to your employee account and employer account. You
may elect an income phase payment if the plan administrator certifies that you
are eligible for a distribution and that the form of annuity is permitted under
the terms of the plan.



Right to Cancel
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When and How to Cancel. You may cancel your purchase within ten days after
receiving the document evidencing your interest by returning it to the Aetna
Processing Office along with a written notice of cancellation.


Refunds. We will produce a refund to you not later than seven days after we
receive the document evidencing your interest and the written notice of
cancellation at the Aetna Processing Office. The refund will equal the dollars
contributed to your accounts plus any earnings or less any losses attributable
to the purchase payments allocated to the variable investment options.



                                                                              15

Types of Fees
There are two types of fees your account may incur:

> Fees Deducted from the Subaccounts
  o Mortality and Expense
    Risk Charge
  o Administrative Expense
    Charge

> Fees Deducted by the Funds
  o Investment Advisory Fees
  o Other Expenses
[end sidebar]


Fees

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following repeats and adds to information provided in the "Fee Table"
section. Please review both this section and the Fee Table for information on
fees.


Fees Deducted from the Subaccounts

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

Amount. 1.25% on an annual basis of your account value invested in the
subaccounts.


When/How. We deduct this fee daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the
funds you select. We do not deduct this fee from any fixed interest option. We
deduct this fee during the accumulation phase and the income phase.


Purpose. The fee compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume
under the contracts.

> The mortality risk are those risks associated with our promise to make
  lifetime payments based on annuity rates specified in the contracts and our
  funding of the death benefit and other payments we make to owners or
  beneficiaries of the accounts.

> The expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses we incur under the
  contracts will exceed the maximum costs that we can charge.


If the amount we deduct for this fee is not enough to cover our mortality costs
and expenses under the contracts, we will bear the loss. We may use any excess
to recover distribution costs relating to the contract and as a source of
profit. We expect to make a profit from this fee.


Administrative Expense Charge

Maximum Amount. 0.25%. We currently do not impose this fee. We reserve the
right, however, to charge up to 0.25% on an annual basis from your account
value invested in the funds.



When/How. If imposed, we will deduct this fee daily from your account value
held in the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. This fee may be
assessed during the accumulation phase and/or the income phase. If we are
imposing this fee under the contract when you enter the income phase, the fee
will apply to you during the entire income phase.


Purpose. This fee helps defray our administrative expenses that cannot be
covered by the mortality and expense risk charge described above. The fee is
not intended to exceed the average expected cost of administering the
contracts. We do not expect to make a profit from this fee.


Fund Expenses

Amount. Each fund determines its own advisory fee and expenses. For a list of
fund fees, see "Fee Table." The fees are described in more detail in each fund
prospectus.



When/How. Fund fees are not deducted from your account. Fund advisory fees and
expenses are reflected in the daily value of the fund shares, which will in
turn affect the daily value of each subaccount.


16
<PAGE>


Purpose. These amounts help to pay the funds' investment adviser and operating
expenses.

Premium and Other Taxes. Currently, there is no premium tax on annuities under
New York regulations. If the state does impose a premium tax, it would be
deducted from the amount applied to an income phase payment option. We reserve
the right to deduct a state premium tax at any time from the purchase
payments(s) or from the account value at any time, but no earlier than when we
have a tax liability under state law.

In addition, the Company reserves the right to assess a charge for any federal
taxes due against the separate account. See "Taxation."



Your Account Value

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the accumulation phase, your account value at any given time equals:


>Account dollars directed to the fixed interest options, including interest
 earnings to date; less

>Deductions, if any, from the fixed interest options (e.g., withdrawals, fees);
 plus

>The current dollar value of amounts invested in the subaccounts.


Subaccount Accumulation Units. When a fund is selected as an investment option,
your account dollars invest in "accumulation units" of the Variable Annuity
Account C subaccount corresponding to that fund. The subaccount invests
directly in the fund shares. The value of your interests in a subaccount is
expressed as the number of accumulation units you hold multiplied by an
"Accumulation Unit Value," as described below, for each unit.

Accumulation Unit Value (AUV). The value of each accumulation unit in a
subaccount is called the accumulation unit value or AUV. The value of
accumulation units vary daily in relation to the underlying fund's investment
performance. The value also reflects deductions for fund fees and expenses, the
mortality and expense risk charge, and the administrative charge (if any). We
discuss these deductions in more detail in "Fee Table" and "Fees."

Valuation. We determine the AUV every business day after the close of the New
York Stock Exchange. At that time, we calculate the current AUV by multiplying
the AUV last calculated by the "net investment factor" of the subaccount. The
net investment factor measures the investment performance of the subaccount
from one valuation to the next.

Current AUV = Prior AUV x Net Investment Factor


Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor for a subaccount between two
consecutive valuations, equals the sum of 1.0000 plus the net investment rate.


Net Investment Rate. The net investment rate is computed according to a formula
that is equivalent to the following:

> The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount as of the current valuation,
  minus;

> The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount at the preceding valuation,
  plus or minus;


                                                                              17
<PAGE>

> Taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, due to subaccount operations (with any
  federal income tax liability offset by foreign tax credits to the extent
  allowed);

> Divided by the total value of the subaccount units at the preceding valuation;



> Minus a daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge and the
  administrative expense charge, if any. See "Fees."


The net investment rate may be either positive or negative.

Hypothetical Illustration. As a hypothetical illustration, assume that an
investor contributes $5,000 to his account and directs us to invest $3,000 in
Fund A and $2,000 in Fund B. After receiving the contribution and following the
next close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, the applicable AUV's are
$10 for Subaccount A, and $25 for Subaccount B. Your account is credited with
300 accumulation units of Subaccount A and 80 accumulation units of Subaccount
B.



<TABLE>

              Step 1 [arrow down]             Step 2:

- --------------------------------------------  A. You direct us to invest $3,000
                                                 in Fund A. The purchase payment
   Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company      purchases 300 accumulation
                                                 units of Subaccount A ($3,000
- --------------------------------------------     divided by the current $10 AUV).
             Step 2 [arrow down]              B. You direct us to invest $2,000
 -------------------------------------------     in Fund B. The purchase payment
                                                 purchases 80 accumulation units
          Variable Annuity Account C             of Subaccount B ($2,000 divided
                                                 by the current $25 AUV).
- --------------------------------------------

   Subaccount A     Subaccount B     Etc.     Step 3: The separate account then

        Fund A                Fund B
   ----------------      ----------------
</TABLE>


The fund's subsequent investment performance, expenses and charges, and the
daily charges deducted from the subaccount, will cause the AUV to move up or
down on a daily basis.



Purchase Payments to Your Account. If all or a portion of initial payments are
directed to the subaccounts, they will purchase subaccount accumulation units
at the AUV next computed after our acceptance of the applicable application or
enrollment forms. Any subsequent purchase payments or transfers directed to the
subaccounts that we receive by the close of business of the New York Stock
Exchange (Exchange) will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV
computed after the close of the Exchange on that day. The value of subaccounts
may vary day to day.



                                                                              19

Taxes, Fees and Deductions

Amounts withdrawn may be subject to one or more of the following:

>Market Value Adjustment (see Appendix I)

>Tax Penalty (see "Taxation")

>Tax Withholding (see "Taxation")

To determine which may apply, refer to the appropriate sections of this
prospectus, contact your Aetna representative or call the Aetna Processing
Office at the number listed in "Contract Overview--Questions."
[end sidebar]


Withdrawals

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making a Withdrawal. Subject to limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Plus
Account, you may withdraw all or a portion of your account value at any time
during the accumulation phase. Your plan administrator must certify that you
are eligible, both as to the timing and form of distribution.


Steps for Making A Withdrawal. You must:


> Select the withdrawal amount.


1) Full Withdrawal: You will receive, reduced by any required withholding tax,
   your account value allocated to the subaccounts, the Guaranteed
   Accumulation Account (plus or minus any applicable market value adjustment)
   plus the amount available for withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account.

2) Partial Withdrawal (Percentage or Specified Dollar Amount): You will
   receive, reduced by any required withholding tax, the amount you specify,
   subject to the value available in your account. The amounts available from
   the Fixed Plus Account may be limited.

   For a description of limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Plus
   Account, see Appendix II.

>  Select Investment Options. If this is not specified, we will withdraw
   dollars proportionally from each investment option in which you have an
   account value.

>  Properly complete a disbursement form and submit it to the Aetna Processing
   Office.

Calculation of Your Withdrawal. We determine your account value every normal
business day after the close of the New York Stock Exchange. We pay withdrawal
amounts based on your account value either: (1) As of the next valuation after
we receive a request for withdrawal in good order at the Aetna Processing
Office, or (2) On such later date as specified on the disbursement form.


Delivery of Payment. Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in
accordance with SEC requirements. Normally, the payment will be sent not later
than seven calendar days following our receipt of the disbursement form in good
order at the Aetna Processing Office.

Reinvestment Privilege. The contracts allow one-time use of a reinvestment
privilege. Within 30 days after a full withdrawal, if allowed by law and the
contract, you may elect to reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds. We must
receive reinvested amounts within 60 days of the withdrawal. We will credit the
account for the amount reinvested based upon the subaccount values next
computed following our receipt of your request and the amount to be reinvested.
We will reinvest in the same investment options and proportions in place at the
time of withdrawal. Special rules apply to reinvestments of amounts withdrawn
from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (see Appendix I). Seek competent
advice regarding the tax consequences associated with reinvestment.

Features of a Systematic Distribution Option
A systematic distribution option allows you to receive regular payments from
your account, without moving into the income phase. By maintaining your account
in the accumulation phase, certain rights and flexibility are retained and any
accumulation phase fees may apply.

[end sidebar]

Systematic Distribution Options


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Availability of Systematic Distribution Options. To exercise one of these
options the account value must meet any minimum dollar amount and age criteria
applicable to that option. In addition, for the employer account and certain
employee accounts, the contract holder must provide written certification that
the distribution is in accordance with the terms of the plan. To determine what
systematic distribution options are available, check with the Company at the
Aetna Processing Office.

The systematic distribution options currently available under the contract
include the following:


> SWO--Systematic Withdrawal Option. SWO is a series of automatic partial
  withdrawals from your account based on the payment method selected. It is
  designed for those who want a periodic income while retaining investment
  flexibility for amounts accumulated under the contract. You may not elect this
  option if you have an outstanding contract loan.

> ECO--Estate Conservation Option. ECO offers the same investment flexibility as
  SWO, but is designed for those who want to receive only the minimum
  distribution that the Tax Code requires each year.

  Under ECO, we calculate the minimum distribution amount required by law at
  the later of age 70-1/2 or retirement, and pay you that amount once a year.


> Other Systematic Distribution Options. We may add additional systematic
  distribution options from time to time. You may obtain additional information
  relating to any of the systematic distribution options from your local
  representative or from the Company at the Aetna Processing Office.


Availability of Systematic Distribution Options. The Company may discontinue
the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any
time, and/or change the terms of future elections.


Terminating a Systematic Distribution Option. Once a systematic distribution
option is elected, you may revoke it at any time by submitting a written
request to the Aetna Processing Office. Any revocation will apply only to the
amount not yet paid. Once an option is revoked for an account, it may not be
elected again, nor may any other systematic distribution option be elected
unless the Tax Code permits it.


Charges and Taxation. When you elect a systematic distribution option, your
account value remains in the accumulation phase and subject to the charges and
deductions described in the "Fees" section. Taking a withdrawal through a
systematic distribution option may have tax consequences. If you are concerned
about tax implications consult a tax adviser before one of these options is
elected.



                                                                              21

During the Income Phase

This section provides information about the accumulation phase. For death
benefit information applicable to the income phase (see "The Income Phase.")
[end sidebar]


Death Benefit


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contract provides a death benefit in the event of your death, which is
payable to the beneficiary you name for your account.



During the Accumulation Phase
Payment Process


1. Following your death, your beneficiary must provide the Company with proof
   of death acceptable to us and a payment request in good order.
2. The payment request should include selection of a benefit payment option.
3. Within seven days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and
   payment request in good order at the Aetna Processing Office, we will mail
   payment, unless otherwise requested.


Until a payment option is selected, account dollars will remain invested as at
the time of your death, and no distribution will be made.

If you die during the accumulation phase of your account, the following payment
options are available to your beneficiary, if allowed by the Tax Code:


>Lump-sum payment;

> Payment in accordance with any of the available income phase payment options.
  See "The Income Phase--Payment Options"; or

> If the beneficiary is your spouse, payment in accordance with an available
  systematic distribution option. See "Systematic Distribution Options."


The following options are also available; however, the Tax Code limits how long
the death benefit proceeds may be left in these options:

> Leaving your account value invested in the contract; or


> Under some contracts, leaving your account value on deposit in the Company's
  general account, and receiving monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual
  interest payments at the interest rate then being credited on such deposits.
  The beneficiary may withdraw the balance on deposit at any time or request to
  receive payment in accordance with any of the available income phase payment
  options. See "The Income Phase--Payment Options."

The Value of the Death Benefit. The death benefit will be based on your account
value as calculated on the next valuation following the date on which we
receive proof of death in good order. Interest, if any, will be paid from the
date of death at a rate no less than required by law. For amounts held in the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account, any positive aggregate market value adjustment
(the sum of all market value adjustments calculated due to a withdrawal) will
be included in your account value. If a negative aggregate market value
adjustment applies, it would be deducted only if the death benefit is withdrawn
more than six months after your death. We describe the market value adjustment
in Appendix I and in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus.

Tax Code Requirements. The Tax Code requires distribution of death benefit
proceeds within a certain period of time. Failure to begin receiving death
benefit payments within those time periods can result in tax penalties.
Regardless of the method of payment, death benefit proceeds will generally be
taxed to the beneficiary in the same manner as if you had received those
payments. See "Taxation" for additional information.

[end sidebar]


The Income Phase


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the income phase you stop contributing dollars to your account and start
receiving payments from your accumulated account value.


Initiating Payments. At least 30 days prior to the date you want to start
receiving income phase payments, you must notify us in writing of the
following:

> Payment start date;

> Income phase payment option (see the income phase payment options table in
  this section);

> Payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually);

> Choice of fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable
  payments; and

> Selection of an assumed net investment rate (only if variable payments are
  elected).

The account will continue in the accumulation phase until you properly initiate
income phase payments. Once an income phase payment option is selected, it may
not be changed; however, certain options allow you to withdraw a lump sum.

What Affects Payment Amounts? Some of the factors that may affect the amount of
your income phase payment include: your age, your account value, the income
phase payment option selected, number of guaranteed payments (if any) selected,
whether fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable payments
are selected, and, for variable payments, the assumed net investment rate
selected.

Fixed Payments. Amounts funding fixed income phase payments will be held in the
Company's general account. The amount of fixed payment amounts do not vary over
time.

Variable Payments. Amounts funding your variable income phase payments will be
held in the subaccount(s) selected. The contracts may restrict the subaccounts
available during the income phase, and you may not make transfers once you enter
the income phase. For variable income phase payments, an assumed net investment
rate must be selected.

Payments from Fixed Plus Account Values. If a nonlifetime income phase payment
option is selected, for amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account during the
accumulation phase, income phase payments may only be made on a fixed basis.

Assumed Net Investment Rate. If you select variable income phase payments, you
must also select an assumed net investment rate of either 5% or 3-1/2%. If you
select a 5% rate, your first payment will be higher, but subsequent payments
will increase only if the investment performance of the subaccounts selected,
is greater than 5% annually, after deduction of fees. Payment amounts will
decline if the investment performance is less than 5%, after deduction of fees.

If you select a 3-1/2% rate, your first income phase payment will be lower and
subsequent payments will increase more rapidly or decline more slowly



                                                                              23

depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts selected. For
more information about selecting an assumed net investment rate, request a copy
of the Statement of Additional Information by calling the Company. See
"Contract Overview--Questions."

Minimum Payment Amounts. The income phase payment option selected must result
in one or both of the following:

> A first income phase payment of at least $20; or

> Total yearly income phase payments of at least $100.

If your account value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts, you
must elect a lump-sum payment.

Charges Deducted. We make a daily deduction for mortality and expense risks
from amounts held in the subaccounts. Therefore, if you choose variable income
phase payments and a nonlifetime income phase payment option, we still make
this deduction from the subaccounts selected, even though we no longer assume
any mortality risk for you. We may also deduct a daily administrative charge
from amounts held in the subaccounts. See "Fees."

Death Benefit During the Income Phase. The death benefits that may be available
to a beneficiary are outlined in the payment option table below. If a lump-sum
payment is due as a death benefit, we will make payment within seven calendar
days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and the payment request
in good order at the Aetna Processing Office.

Taxation. To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any beneficiary must meet the
distribution rules imposed by the Tax Code. See "Taxation."

                  Continuing Payments:
                  (a) This option allows a choice of 100%, 662/3% or 50% of the payment to continue to the

                  Death Benefit--None: Payments end after the deaths of both annuitants.

                  Length of Payments: For as long as either annuitant lives, with payments guaranteed for a

                  Length of Payments: Payments generally may be fixed or variable and may be made for 3-30 years.
                  However, for amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account during the accumulation phase, the

 Guaranteed       Death Benefit--Payment to the Beneficiary: If the annuitant dies before we make all the

                  prohibited by a prior election of the contract holder, the beneficiary may elect to receive a lump-
                  sum payment equal to the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments.

Lump-Sum Payment: If the "Nonlifetime--Guaranteed Payments" option is elected with variable payments, you may
request at any time that all or a portion of the present value of the remaining payments be paid in one lump sum.
Lump-sum payments will be sent within seven calendar days after we receive the request for payment in good order at
the Aetna Processing Office.

Calculation of Lump-Sum Payments. If a lump-sum payment is available to a beneficiary or to you in the options above,
the rate we use to calculate the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments is the same rate we use to calculate
the income phase payments (i.e., the actual fixed rate used for fixed payments, or the 3-1/2% or 5% assumed net
investment rate for variable payments).

Taxation
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction


This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws
affecting the contracts. You should keep the following in mind when reading it:



> Your tax position (or the tax position of the beneficiary, as applicable)
  determines federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the contract;

> Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect
  contracts issued in the past;

> This section addresses federal income tax rules and does not discuss federal
  estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes or any other tax
  provisions; and


> We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the contract or
  transaction involving the contract.


We do not intend this information to be tax advice. For advice about the
effect of federal income taxes or any other taxes on amounts held or paid out
under the contract, consult a tax adviser. For more comprehensive information,
contact the Internal Revenue Service.



The Contract

The contracts are designed to provide retirement benefits to participants under
the SUNY Plan. Payments made under Tax Code sections 401(a), 414(h) and 403(b)
are permitted under the contracts. SUNY and participants are responsible for
determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions satisfy
applicable laws. Legal counsel and a tax adviser should be consulted regarding
the suitability of the contract. If the contract is purchased in conjunction
with a retirement plan, the plan is not a part of the contract and we are not
bound by the plan's terms or conditions.


Withdrawals and Other Distributions

Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contracts. A distribution is
any amount taken from the contract including withdrawals, income phase
payments, rollovers, exchanges and death benefit proceeds. The tax rules vary
according to plan type and the terms and conditions of the plan.


We report the taxable portion of all distributions to the IRS.


Taxation of Distributions

All distributions from a 401(a) or a 403(b) plan are taxed as received unless:

> The distribution is rolled over to another plan of the same type or to a
  traditional individual retirement annuity/account (IRA) in accordance with the
  Tax Code; or


> You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending upon the
  type of distribution, a portion of the distribution may be excluded from gross
  income according to the rules detailed in the Tax Code.


In general, payments received by your beneficiaries after your death are taxed
in the same manner as if you had received those payments.


                                                                              27
<PAGE>

10% Penalty Tax

Under certain circumstances, the Tax Code may impose a 10% penalty tax on the
taxable portion of any distribution from a contract used with a 401(a) or
403(b) plan.

The 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable portion of a distribution unless one
or more of the following have occurred:


(a) You have attained age 59-1/2;
(b) You have become totally and permanently disabled;
(c) You have died;
(d) You have separated from service with the plan sponsor at or after age 55;
(e) The distribution is rolled over into another plan of the same type or to an
    IRA in accordance with the Tax Code; or

(f) The distribution is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least
    annually) over your life or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint
    life expectancies of you and your beneficiary. Also, you must have
    separated from service with the plan sponsor.

In addition, the penalty tax does not apply for the amount of a distribution
equal to unreimbursed medical expenses incurred by you that qualify for
deduction as specified in the Tax Code.


Withholding for Federal Income Tax Liability

Any distributions under the contracts are generally subject to withholding.
Federal income tax liability rates vary according to the type of distribution
and the recipient's tax status. Generally, distributions from these plans are
subject to a mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding. However, you or a
beneficiary may elect not to have tax withheld from certain distributions.

If you or your beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is
governed by Tax Code section 1441 based on the individual's citizenship, the
country of domicile and treaty status.


Minimum Distribution Requirements

To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any beneficiary must meet the minimum
distribution requirements imposed by the Tax Code. These rules may dictate one
or more of the following:


> Start date for distributions;

> The time period in which all amounts in your account(s) must be distributed;
  or

> Distribution amounts.



Start Date. Generally, you must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70-1/2 or
retire, whichever occurs later, unless under 403(b) plans, if the Company
maintains separate records of amounts held as of December 31, 1986. In this
case, distribution of these amounts generally must begin by the end of the
calendar year in which you attain age 75 or retire, if later. However, if you
take any distributions in excess of the minimum required amount, then special
rules require that some or all of the December 31, 1986 balance be distributed
earlier.


28
<PAGE>

Time Period. We must pay out distributions from the contracts over one of the
following time periods:


> Over your life or the joint lives of you and your beneficiary; or


> Over a period not greater than your life expectancy or the joint life
  expectancies of you and your beneficiary.


50% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the minimum required distribution for
any tax year, a 50% excise tax is imposed on the required amount that was not
distributed.


Minimum Distribution of Death Benefit Proceeds. Different distribution
requirements apply if your death occurs:


> After you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract; or


> Before you begin receiving such distributions.

If your death occurs after you begin receiving minimum distributions under the
contract, distributions must be made at least as rapidly as under the method in
effect at the time of your death. Tax Code section 401(a)(9) provides specific
rules for calculating the minimum required distributions at your death. The
rules differ, dependent upon:


> Whether your minimum required distribution was calculated each year based on
  your single life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your
  beneficiary; and


> Whether life expectancy was recalculated.

The rules are complex and any beneficiary should consult with a tax adviser
before electing the method of calculation to satisfy the minimum distribution
requirements.


If your death occurs before you begin receiving minimum distributions under the
contract, your entire balance must be distributed by December 31 of the
calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of your death. For
example: If you die September 1, 2000, your entire balance must be distributed
to the beneficiary by December 31, 2005. However, if the distribution begins by
December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death,
then payments may be made in either of the following time-frames:

> Over the life of the beneficiary; or


> Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary.


Start Dates for Spousal Beneficiaries. If the beneficiary is your spouse, the
distribution must begin on or before the later of the following:

>December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death; or


> December 31 of the calendar year in which you would have attained age 70-1/2.


Assignment or Transfer of Contracts

Adverse tax consequences to the plan and/or to you may result if your
beneficial interest in the contract is assigned or transferred to persons other
than: a plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments; an alternate
payee under a qualified domestic relations order in accordance with Tax Code
section 414(p); or to the Company as collateral for a loan.


                                                                              29
<PAGE>

Exclusion From Gross Income

The Tax Code imposes a maximum limit on annual payments to your account(s) that
may be excluded from gross income. The employer must calculate this limit under
the plan in accordance with Tax Code section 415. This limit is generally the
lesser of 25% of your compensation or $30,000. Compensation means your
compensation from the employer sponsoring the plan and, for years beginning
after December 31, 1997, includes any elective deferrals under Tax Code section
402(g) and any amounts not includible in gross income under Tax Code sections
125 or 457. The limit applies to your contribution as well as any contributions
made by your employer on your behalf. In addition, payments to your account(s)
will be excluded from your gross income only if the plan meets certain
nondiscrimination requirements.

Under Tax Code section 403(b), contributions made by public school systems or
nonprofit healthcare organizations and other Tax Code section 501(c)(3) tax
exempt organizations to purchase annuity contracts for their employees are
generally excludable from the gross income of the employee.

In order to be excludable from gross income, total annual contributions made by
you and your employer to a 403(b) plan cannot exceed the limits set by the Tax
Code.


Rules Specific to Certain Plans

401(a) Plans.

Tax Code section 401(a) permits certain employers to establish various types of
retirement plans for employees, and permits self-employed individuals to
establish various types of retirement plans for themselves and for their
employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to
accumulate retirement savings under the plans.


414(h) Plans.

Under Tax Code section 414(h), where a governmental employer "picks up" plan
contributions otherwise designated as employee contributions, the contributions
are treated as employer contributions. The 414(h) contributions are excluded
from the employee's taxable income and are not subject to federal income tax
withholding.


Restrictions on Distributions

The SUNY Plan permitted only employee after-tax and employer contributions to
the 403(b) plan. The Tax Code imposes no restrictions on distribution of
employee after-tax contributions or employer contributions.



Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution

You will generally not pay taxes on any earnings from the annuity contract
described in this prospectus until they are withdrawn. Tax-qualified retirement
arrangements under Tax Code sections 401(a), 414(h) and 403(b) also generally
defer payment of taxes on earnings until they are withdrawn. (See "Taxation of
Distributions" earlier in this "Taxation" section for a discussion of how
distributions under the various types of plans are taxed.) When an annuity
contract is used to fund one of these tax-qualified retirement arrangements,
you should know that the annuity contract does not provide any additional tax
deferral of earnings beyond the tax deferral provided by the tax-qualified



30
<PAGE>


retirement arrangement. However, annuities do provide other features and
benefits which may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives
with your financial representative.

Additionally, although earnings under the contract are generally not taxed
until withdrawn, the IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable
contract owner, including participants under code section 403(b) plans, will be
considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses
incidents of investment control over the assets. In these circumstances, income
and gains from the separate account assets would be currently includible in the
variable contract owner's gross income.

The Treasury announced that it will issue guidance regarding the extent to
which owners could direct their investments among subaccounts without being
treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account. It is
possible that the Treasury's position, when announced, may adversely affect the
tax treatment of existing contracts. The Company therefore reserves the right
to modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the contract holder
from being considered the federal tax owner of a pro rata share of the assets
of the separate account.



Taxation of the Company

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. Variable Annuity
Separate Account C is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed
separately as a "regulated investment company", but is taxed as part of the
Company.

We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the
separate account to increase reserves under the contracts. Because of this,
under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will
not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase
reserves under the contracts. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable
to the separate account will be first used to reduce any income taxes imposed
on the separate account before being used by the Company.

In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax
liability attributable to the separate account and we do not intend to make any
provision for such taxes. However, changes in federal tax laws and/or their
interpretation may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to
the separate account. In this case, we may impose a charge against the separate
account (with respect to some or all of the contracts) to set aside provisions
to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the separate account,
including from your account value invested in the subaccounts.

The Company


Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company, we, us, our) issues the
contracts described in this prospectus and is responsible for providing each
contract's insurance and annuity benefits.



                                                                              31
<PAGE>

We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the
State of Connecticut in 1976 and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna
Inc. Through a merger, our operations include the business of Aetna Variable
Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life
Insurance Company, an Arkansas life insurance company organized in 1954).


We are engaged in the business of issuing life insurance and annuities. Our
principal executive offices are located at:

            151 Farmington Avenue
            Hartford, Connecticut 06156



Variable Annuity Account C

We established Variable Annuity Account C (the separate account) in 1976 as a
segregated asset account to fund our variable annuity contracts. The separate
account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "40 Act"). It also meets the definition of "separate account"
under the federal securities laws.

The separate account is divided into "subaccounts." These subaccounts invest
directly in shares of a pre-assigned fund.

Although we hold title to the assets of the separate account, such assets are
not chargeable with the liabilities of any other business that we conduct.
Income, gains or losses of the separate account are credited to or charged
against the assets of the separate account without regard to other income,
gains or losses of the Company. All obligations arising under the contracts are
obligations of the Company.


Performance Reporting

We may advertise different types of historical performance for the subaccounts
including:


> Standardized average annual total returns; and

> Non-standardized average annual total returns.


We may also advertise certain ratings, rankings or other information related to
the Company, the subaccounts or the funds. For further details regarding
performance reporting and advertising request a Statement of Additional
Information at the number listed in "Contract Overview--Questions."



Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate standardized average
annual total returns according to a formula prescribed by the SEC. This shows
the percentage return applicable to $1,000 invested in the subaccount over the
most recent one, five and 10-year periods. If the investment option was not
available for the full period, we give a history from the date money was first
received in that option under the separate account. Standardized average annual
total returns reflect the deduction of all recurring charges during each period
(e.g., mortality and expense risk charges, and administrative expense charges,
if any.)



Non-Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate non-standardized
average annual total returns in a similar manner as that stated above, except
that we may also include performance from the Fund's inception date, if that
date is earlier than the one we use for standardized returns.


32
<PAGE>

Voting Rights

Each of the subaccounts holds shares in a fund and each is entitled to vote at
regular and special meetings of that fund. Under our current view of applicable
law, we will vote the shares for each subaccount as instructed by persons
having a voting interest in the subaccount. Under the contracts described in
this prospectus, you have a fully vested interest in the value of your account.
Therefore, under the plan you generally have the right to instruct the contract
holder how to direct us to vote shares attributable to your account. Currently,
we obtain participant voting instructions directly from participants, subject
to receipt of authorization from the contract holder to accept such
instructions. We will vote shares for which instructions have not been received
in the same proportion as those for which we received instructions. Each person
who has a voting interest in the separate account will receive periodic reports
relating to the funds in which he or she has an interest, as well as any proxy
materials and a form on which to give voting instructions. Voting instructions
will be solicited by a written communication at least 14 days before the
meeting.


The number of votes (including fractional votes) any person is entitled to
direct will be determined as of the record date set by any fund in which that
person invests through the subaccounts.


> During the accumulation phase, the number of votes is equal to the portion of
  the account value invested in the fund, divided by the net asset value of one
  share of that fund.


> During the income phase, the number of votes is equal to the portion of
  reserves set aside for the contract's share of the fund, divided by the net
  asset value of one share of that fund.


Contract Distribution

The Company will serve as the principal underwriter for the securities sold by
this prospectus. The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and
is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD).


As principal underwriter, the Company will enter into arrangements with one or
more registered broker-dealers, including at least one affiliate of the
Company, to offer and sell the contracts described in this prospectus. We call
these entities "distributors."

We and one or more of our affiliates may also sell the contracts directly. All
individuals offering and selling the contracts must be registered
representatives of a broker-dealer and must be licensed as insurance agents to
sell variable annuity contracts.

Commission Payments. We may pay commissions to persons who offer and sell the
contracts. The maximum percentage amount we ever pay with respect to a given
purchase payment is the first-year percentage which ranges from 1% to 4% of the
first year of payments to an account. We may also pay renewal commissions on
payments made after the first year and asset-based service fees. The average of
all commissions and asset-based service fees paid is estimated to equal
approximately 3% of the total payments made over the life of an average
contract. Some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash
compensation as special sales incentives, including trips and educational and/
or business seminars. However, any such compensation will be paid in accordance
with NASD rules.


                                                                              33
<PAGE>

We may reimburse the distributor for certain expenses. The name of the
distributor and the registered representative responsible for your account are
stated in your enrollment materials. Commissions and sales related expenses are
paid by us and are not deducted from payments to your account.


Third Party Compensation Arrangements.  Occasionally, we may:


> Pay commissions and fees to distributors affiliated or associated with the
  contract holder, you and/or other contract participants; or


> Enter into agreements with entities associated with the contract holder, you
  and/or other participants. Through such agreements, we may pay the entities
  for certain services in connection with administering the contract.

In both these circumstances there may be an understanding that the distributor
or entities would endorse us as a provider of the contract. You will be
notified if you are purchasing a contract that is subject to these
arrangements.


Transfer of Ownership; Assignment.  No assignment of a contract will be binding
on us unless made in writing and sent to us at the Aetna Processing Office. We
will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the assignment is authentic,
including verification of signature. If we fail to follow our own procedures,
we will be liable for any losses to you directly resulting from the failure.
Otherwise, we are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. The
rights of the contract holder and the interest of the annuitant and any
beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any assignee of record.


Contract Modification

We may change the contract as required by federal or state law. In addition, we
may, upon 30 days' written notice to the contract holder, make other changes to
group contracts that would apply only to individuals who become participants
under that Contract after the effective date of such changes. If the group
contract holder does not agree to a change, we reserve the right to refuse to
establish new accounts under the contract. Certain changes will require the
approval of appropriate state or federal regulatory authorities.


Legal Matters and Proceedings



We are aware of no material legal proceedings pending which involve the
separate account as a party or which would materially affect the separate
account. The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus has been
passed upon by Counsel to the Company.

In recent years, several life insurance and annuity companies have been named
as defendants in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, relating to life
insurance and annuity pricing and sales practices. A purported class action
complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Lauderdale County, Alabama on March
28, 2000 by Loretta Shaner against the Company (the "Shaner Complaint"). The
Shaner Complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages from the Company and
unnamed affiliates of the Company. The Shaner Complaint claims that the
Company's sale of deferred annuity products for use as investments in
tax-deferred contributory retirement plans (e.g., IRAs) is improper. This
litigation is in the preliminary stages. The Company intends to defend the
action vigorously.

The Company also is a party to other litigation and arbitration proceedings in
the ordinary course of its business, none of which is expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company.



Payment Delay or Suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits
or values under the following circumstances: (a) on any valuation date when the
New York Stock Exchange is closed (except customary weekend and holidays) when
trading on the Exchange is restricted; b) when an emergency exists as
determined by the SEC so that disposal of the securities held in the
subaccounts is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable
fairly to determine the value of the subaccount's assets; (c) during any other
periods the SEC may by order permit for the protection of investors. The
conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be
determined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Intent to Confirm Quarterly

                                  Appendix I
                        Guaranteed Accumulation Account
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Guaranteed Accumulation Account (GAA) is a fixed interest option that may
be available during the accumulation phase under the contracts. This appendix
is only a summary of certain facts about GAA. Please read the GAA prospectus
before investing in this option.



General Disclosure. Amounts that you invest in GAA will earn a guaranteed
interest rate if amounts are left in GAA for the specified period of time. If
you withdraw or transfer those amounts before the specified period of time has
elapsed, we may apply a "market value adjustment," which may be positive or
negative.


When you decide to invest money in GAA, you will want to contact your
representative or the Company to learn:

> The interest rate we will apply to the amounts that you invest in GAA. We
  change this rate periodically, so be certain you know what rate we guarantee
  on the day your account dollars are invested into GAA.

> The period of time your account dollars need to remain in GAA in order to earn
  that rate. You are required to leave your account dollars in GAA for a
  specified period of time (guaranteed term), in order to earn the guaranteed
  interest rate.


Deposit Periods. A deposit period is the time during which we offer a specific
interest rate if you deposit dollars for a certain guaranteed term. For a
particular interest rate and guaranteed term to apply to your account dollars,
you must invest them during the deposit period during which that rate and term
are offered.



Interest Rates. We guarantee different interest rates, depending upon when
account dollars are invested in GAA. The interest rate we guarantee is an
annual effective yield; that means that the rate reflects a full year's
interest. We credit interest daily at a rate that will provide the guaranteed
annual effective yield over one year. The guaranteed interest rate will never
be less than the rate stated in the contract.



Fees and Other Deductions. If all or a portion of your account value in GAA is
withdrawn, you may incur the following:


> Market Value Adjustment (MVA)--as described in this appendix and in the GAA
  prospectus; or

> Tax Penalties and/or Tax withholding--see "Taxation".


We do not make deductions from amounts in GAA to cover mortality and expense
risks. Rather, we consider these risks when determining the credited rate.


Market Value Adjustment (MVA). If you withdraw or transfer your account value
from GAA before the guaranteed term is completed, an MVA may apply. The MVA
reflects the change in the value of the investment due to changes in interest
rates since the date of deposit. The MVA may be positive or negative.

> If interest rates at the time of withdrawal have increased since the date of
  deposit, the value of the investment decreases and the MVA will be negative.
  This could result in your receiving less than the amount you paid into GAA.

> If interest rates at the time of withdrawal have decreased since the date of
  deposit, the value of the investment increases and the MVA will be positive.


Guaranteed Terms. The guaranteed term is the period of time account dollars
must be left in GAA in order to earn the guaranteed interest rate specified for
that guaranteed term. We offer different guaranteed terms at different times.
Check with your representative or the Company to learn the details about the
guaranteed term(s) currently being offered.


In general, we offer the following guaranteed terms:

> Short-term--three years or fewer; and

> Long-term--ten years or less, but greater than three years.


At the end of a guaranteed term, you may:


> Transfer dollars to a new guaranteed term;

> Transfer dollars to other available investment options; or


                                                                              37
<PAGE>


> Withdraw dollars.


Deductions may apply to withdrawals. See "Fees and Other Deductions" in this
section.


Transfer of Account Dollars. Generally, account dollars invested in GAA may be
transferred among guaranteed terms offered through GAA, and/or to other
investment options offered through the contract. However, transfers may not be
made during the deposit period in which your account dollars are invested in
GAA or for 90 days after the close of that deposit period. We will apply an MVA
to transfers made before the end of a guaranteed term.


Income Phase. GAA can not be used as an investment option during the income
phase. However, you may notify us at least 30 days in advance to elect a
variable payment option and to transfer your GAA account dollars to any of the
subaccounts available during the income phase.


Reinvesting Amounts Withdrawn from GAA. If amounts are withdrawn from GAA and
then reinvested in GAA, we will apply the reinvested amount to the current
deposit period. This means that the guaranteed annual interest rate, and
guaranteed terms available on the date of reinvestment will apply. Amounts will
be reinvested proportionately in the same way as they were allocated before
withdrawal. Your account value will not be credited for any negative MVA that
was deducted at the time of withdrawal.

                              Fixed Plus Account
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fixed Plus Account is an investment option available under the contracts.
Amounts allocated to the Fixed Plus Account are held in the Company's general
account which supports insurance and annuity obligations.


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Additional information about this option may be found in the contract.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Disclosure. 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 about the Fixed Plus Account
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.


Interest Rates. The Fixed Plus Account guarantees that amounts allocated to
this option will earn the minimum interest rate specified in the contract. We
may credit a higher interest rate from time to time, but the rate we credit
will never fall below the guaranteed minimum specified in the contract.
Interest rate guarantees are based on the claims paying-ability of the Company.
We credit amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account with a rate 0.25% higher than
the then-declared rate beginning in the tenth year after your account was
established. Amounts applied to the Fixed Plus Account will earn the interest
rate in effect at the time money is applied. Amounts in the Fixed Plus Account
will reflect a compound interest rate as credited by us. The rate we quote is
an annual effective yield. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Fixed
Plus Account to cover mortality and expense risks. We consider these risks in
determining the credited rate.

Our determination of credited interest rates reflects a number of factors,
including mortality and expense risks, interest rate guarantees, 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 the amounts you
allocate to this option and promising a minimum interest rate and income phase
payment.


Partial Withdrawal. Partial withdrawals are limited to 20% of the amount held
in the Fixed Plus Account on the day we receive a request in good order at the
Aetna Processing Office. The 20% limit is reduced by any Fixed Plus
withdrawals, transfers or income phase payments made in last 12 months. In
calculating the 20% limit, we reserve the right to include payments made
through a Systematic Distribution Option.



Full Withdrawal. Full withdrawals are paid, with interest, in five annual
payments equal to:


> One-fifth of the Fixed Plus Account value on the day we receive the request,
  reduced by any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals, loans, transfers or income
  phase payments made during the past 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.


A full withdrawal may be canceled at any time before the end of the
five-payment period.

Once we receive a request for full withdrawal, no further withdrawals or
transfers will be permitted from Fixed Plus Account.

We will waive the above full withdrawal five-payment period if full withdrawal
is made due to any of the following:


> Your death before income phase payments have begun;

> Election of any income phase payment option with fixed payments or a lifetime
  payment option with variable payments;



                                                                              39
<PAGE>


> Your account value in the Fixed Plus Account value is $3,500 or less and the
  amount withdrawn is to be transferred to another investment program under the
  SUNY Plan provided no withdrawals, transfers or income phase payments have
  been made from your account within the past 12 months; or

> When the account value is $4,000 or less and paid to you in a lump sum.



Alternative Payment of Fixed Plus Account Values. As an alternative to the
payment of Fixed Plus Account values in five annual payments, the contract
holder may instead elect an alternative method of payment.

Under the alternative method of payment, within 60 days of the proposed
withdrawal date, the contract holder must notify the Company that it intends to
surrender the entire contract. Within 30 days after receiving that notice, the
Company will tell the contract holder the specific period and interest rate
that would apply to a complete surrender of the contract in level, annual
payments for a period of up to ten years. Under that payment method, the
Company may reduce the interest rate credited to the Fixed Plus Account up to
1.5% from the interest rate being credited upon the date of withdrawal, and the
interest rate would remain constant throughout the payment period.

When the contract holder receives the specific information from the Company
about the alternative method of payment, the contract holder must irrevocably
elect in writing to use either the alternative method of payment, or the
payment of Fixed Plus Account values in five annual payments.



Transfers. Transfers are limited to 20% of the amount held in the Fixed Plus
Account on the day a request in good order is received at our Home Office. The
20% limit is reduced by any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals, transfers or income
phase payments made in the past 12 months. We reserve the right to include
payments made through a Systematic Distribution Option in calculating the 20%
limit. The 20% limit will be waived if your account value in Fixed Plus Account
is $1,000 or less.


Income Phase. Amounts accumulating under the Fixed Plus Account can be
transferred to the subaccounts to fund variable lifetime income phase payment
options during the income phase. However, Fixed Plus Account values may not be
used to fund nonlifetime income options with variable payments.

                         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, 1999, the Company and its subsidiary life company had $53
billion invested through their products, including $39 billion in their separate
accounts (of which the Company, or its subsidiary Aeltus Investment Management,
Inc., oversees the management of $24 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, 1998. 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 Aetna Processing Office to provide
administrative support to the contract holder and participants of the State
University of New York Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (SUNY). This office
will handle enrollments, billing, transfers, redemptions, and inquiries for all
SUNY contract holders and participants. All forms and correspondence should be
sent to the address listed on the cover of this Statement of Additional
Information.

Other than the mortality and expense risk 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 "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.

                           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.
Payments to accounts under the contract may be allocated to one or more of the
subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in the shares of only one of the funds
listed below. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of
available investment options as permitted by law and subject to the conditions
of the contract. The availability of the funds is subject to applicable
regulatory authorization.

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," calculated in an identical
manner but including additional periods.


                                       3
<PAGE>

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 recurring charges under the
contracts during each period (e.g., mortality and expense risk charges, and any
applicable administrative expense charges). These charges will be deducted on a
pro rata basis in the case of fractional periods. The total return figures shown
below may differ from 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 are calculated in a similar manner, except that
they 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 the fund was added to 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 contract value and/or account value upon
redemption may be more or less than your original cost.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN QUOTATIONS - Standardized and Non-Standardized


The tables below reflect the average annual standardized and non-standardized
total return quotation figures for the period ended December 31, 1999 for the
subaccounts under the contract issued by the Company. The figures reflect the
deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% on an annual basis
of amounts invested in the subaccounts. 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.

Please refer to the discussion preceding the tables for an explanation of the
charges included and methodology used in calculating the standardized and
non-standardized figures. These figures represent historical performance and
should not be considered a projection of future performance.

*    Reflects performance from the date contributions were first received in the
     fund under the separate account.
(1)  These funds have been available through the separate account for more than
     ten years.
(2)  The current yield for the subaccount for the seven-day period ended
     December 31, 1999 (on an annualized basis) was 4.55%. Current yield more
     closely reflects current earnings than does total return. The current yield
     reflects the deduction of all charges under the contract that are deducted
     from the total return quotations shown above.
(3)  The fund first listed was replaced with the applicable Portfolio Partners
     Portfolio after the close of business on November 26, 1997. The performance
     shown is based on the performance of the replaced fund until November 26,
     1997, and the performance of the applicable Portfolio Partners Portfolio
     after that date. The replaced fund may not have been available under all
     contracts. The "Date Contributions First Received Under the Separate
     Account" refers to the applicable date for the replaced fund. If no date is
     shown, contributions were first received in the replaced fund under the
     separate account more than ten years ago.

(1)  These funds have been in operation for more than ten years.
(2)  The current yield for the subaccount for the seven-day period ended
     December 31, 1999 (on an annualized basis) was 4.55%. Current yield more
     closely reflects current earnings than does total return. The current yield
     reflects the deduction of all charges under the contract that are deducted
     from the total return quotations shown above.
(3)  The fund first listed was replaced with the applicable Portfolio Partners
     Portfolio after the close of business on November 26, 1997. The performance
     shown is based on the performance of the replaced fund until November 26,
     1997, and the performance of the applicable Portfolio Partners Portfolio
     after that date. The replaced fund may not have been available under all
     contracts. The "Fund Inception Date" refers to the applicable date for the
     replaced fund. If no date is shown, the replaced fund has been in operation
     for more than ten years.

                              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 option 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 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 "Your 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.

Assume also that no premium tax is payable and that the Annuity table in the
contract provides, for the payment 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 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 take into account the


                                       7
<PAGE>

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.


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
take into account 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 the underlying funds in terms of the
asset classes they represent and use such categories in marketing materials 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.

     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

     in accordance with the terms of the contracts and are paid to the Company.

     income and realized capital gains to their shareholders. Distributions to
     the Account are automatically reinvested in shares of the Funds. The
     Account's proportionate share of each Fund's undistributed net investment
     income (distributions in excess of net investment income) and accumulated
     net realized gain (loss) on investments is included in net unrealized gain
     (loss) in the Statement of Operations.

     short-term investments for the year ended December 31, 1999 aggregated

                          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, 1999, the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, statements of 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, 1999. 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of December 31, 1999, 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, 1999, the results of its operations for the year then ended,
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, 1999,
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 Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, 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, 1999. 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 Subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, 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 ("ALIAC") and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are providers of financial products
and services and investment management services in the United States. The
Company has two business segments: Financial Products and Investment Management
Services. On October 1, 1998, the Company sold its individual life insurance
business to Lincoln National Corporation ("Lincoln") and accordingly, it is now
classified as Discontinued Operations (refer to note 3).

Financial 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,
nonqualified annuity contracts and mutual funds. Annuity contracts may be
deferred or immediate ("payout annuities"). These products also include
programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation
plans that package administrative and recordkeeping services along with a menu
of investment options, including mutual funds (both ALIAC and nonaffiliated
mutual funds), variable and fixed investment options. Financial Products also
include investment advisory services and pension plan administrative services.

Investment Management Services provides: investment advisory services to
affiliated and unaffiliated institutional and retail clients on a
fee-for-service basis; underwriting services to the Aetna Series Fund Inc.;
distribution services for other Aetna products; and trustee, administrative,
and other fiduciary services to retirement plans requiring or otherwise
utilizing a trustee or custodian.

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

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include ALIAC and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Aetna Insurance Company of America ("AICA") and Aetna Investment
Adviser Holding Company, Inc. ("IA Holdco"). ALIAC is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc. ("HOLDCO"). HOLDCO is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc. whose ultimate parent is Aetna
Inc. ("Aetna"). On July 1, 1999, HOLDCO contributed IA Holdco to the Company
(refer to note 2).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The contribution of IA Holdco to the
Company was accounted for in a manner similar to that of a pooling-of-interests
and accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated financial statements
have been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of IA
Holdco. Certain reclassifications have been made to 1998 and 1997 financial
information to conform to the 1999 presentation.

New Accounting Standards

Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assesments

As of January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-3,
Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA"). This statement 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. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations, as the Company had previously
accounted for guaranty-fund and other insurance-related assessments in a manner
consistent with this standard.

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. The Company does not expect the adoption
of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position and
results of operations.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Financial Accounting Standard ("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. As amended by FAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133, this standard is effective for the Company's financial
statements beginning January 1, 2001, with early adoption permitted. The impact
of FAS No. 133 on the Company's financial statements will vary based on certain
factors including future interpretative guidance from the FASB, the extent of
the Company's hedging activities, the types of hedging instruments used and the
effectiveness of such instruments. The Company is evaluating the impact of
adoption of this standard and currently does not believe that it will have a
material effect on its financial position and 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. Securities are written down (as realized capital losses) for other
than temporary declines in value. Included in available-for-sale securities are
investments that support experience-rated products.

Experience-rated products are products where the customer, not the Company,
assumes investment (including realized capital gains and losses) and other
risks, subject to, among other things, minimum guarantees. As long as minimum
guarantees are not triggered, the effect of experience- rated products'
investment performance does not impact the Company's results of operations.
Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on investments supporting
these products are reflected in policyholder's funds left with the Company.

Realized capital gains and losses on all other investments are reflected in the
Company's results of operations. Unrealized capital gains and losses on all
other investments are reflected in shareholders' equity, net of related income
taxes. Purchases and sales of debt and equity securities are recorded on the
trade date. Sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date.

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. At December
31, 1999 and 1998, the Company loaned securities (which are reflected as
invested assets) with a fair value of approximately $232.5 million and $277.3
million, respectively.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Mortgage loans and policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances, net
of impairment reserves.

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 5.)

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.

On occasion, the Company sells call options written on underlying securities
which are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value of these options are
recorded in net realized capital gains or losses.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Certain costs of acquiring certain 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 certain
annuity and pension 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 20 years for annuity and pension contracts.)

Periodically, modifications may be made to deferred annuity contract features,
such as shortening the surrender charge period or waiving the surrender charge,
changing the mortality and expense fees, etc. Unamortized deferred policy
acquisition costs associated with these modified contracts are not written off,
but rather, continue to be associated with the original block of business to

which these costs were previously recorded. Such costs are amortized based on
revised estimates of expected gross profits based upon the contract after the
modification. Unamortized deferred policy acquisition costs related to deferred
annuity products were approximately $1.0 billion and $893 million as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

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 expenses.

Insurance Reserve Liabilities

Future policy benefits include reserves for universal life, immediate annuities
with life contingent payouts and traditional life insurance contracts. Reserves
for universal life products are equal to cumulative deposits less withdrawals
and charges plus credited interest thereon. Reserves for traditional life
insurance contracts represent the present value of future benefits to be paid
to or on behalf of policyholders and related expenses less the present value of
future net premiums.

Reserves for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts 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 1.50%
to 11.25% 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.

Revenue Recognition

For 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. 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

Separate Accounts assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained
to meet specific investment objectives of contractholders who bear the
investment risk, subject, in some cases, to minimum guaranteed rates.
Investment income and investment gains and losses generally accrue directly to
such contractholders. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are
not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company.

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

Separate Accounts assets are carried at fair value. At December 31, 1999 and
1998 , unrealized losses of $8.0 million and unrealized gains of $10.0 million,
respectively, after taxes, on assets supporting a guaranteed interest option
are reflected in shareholder's equity. 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 3.70% to 12.00%
in 1999 and 3.00 to 8.10% in 1998.

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 recoverable deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on
the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the reinsurance recoverable on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 1999 and 1998, $2,989 million
and $2,946 million, respectively, is related to the reinsurance recoverable
from Lincoln arising from the sale of the domestic life insurance business.

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. Contribution of IA Holdco from HOLDCO

On July 1, 1999, HOLDCO contributed IA Holdco to the Company. The primary
operating subsidiary of IA Holdco is Aeltus Investment Management, Inc.
("Aeltus") which has two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Aeltus Capital,
Inc. ("ACI"), a broker dealer, and Aeltus Trust Company ("ATC"), a limited
purpose banking entity. Aeltus is a registered investment advisor under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and provides investment advisory services to
institutional and retail clients on a fee-for-service basis. In addition,
Aeltus, through its ACI subsidiary, provides distribution services for certain
Aetna mutual funds and other Aetna products. Aeltus' ATC subsidiary provides
trustee, administrative, and other fiduciary services to retirement plans
requiring or otherwise utilizing a trustee or custodian.

3. 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.
Assets related to and supporting the life policies were transferred to Lincoln
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 $57.7 million was deferred and was being recognized over
approximately 15 years. The remaining portion of the gain is recognized
immediately in net income and was largely attributed to access to the agency
sales force and brokerage distribution channel. Approximately $5.2 million
(after tax) of the deferred gain was recognized during 1999. During the fourth
quarter of 1999, the Company refined certain accrual and tax estimates which
had been established in connection with the recording of the deferred gain. As
a result, the deferred gain was increased by $12.9 million (after tax) to $65.4
million at December 31, 1999. The remaining deferred gain will be recognized
over approximately 14 years. The unamortized portion of the deferred 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 and $620.4 million for 1998
and 1997. Premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries made in 1999 totaled $476.5
million and $513.4 million, respectively, and in 1998 totaled $153.4 million
and $70.5 million, respectively.

4. Investments (continued)

There are various categories of CMOs which are subject to different degrees of
risk from changes in interest rates and, for CMO's that are not agency-backed,
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, 1999 and 1998,
approximately 1% and 2%, 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

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

5. 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.

Off-Balance-Sheet and Other Financial Instruments

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.

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. There were no open
treasury futures as of December 31, 1999.

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, 1999 were
both $6.5 million. The carrying values and estimated fair values as of December
31, 1998 were both $1.5 million.

Options:

During 1999, the Company earned $0.4 million of investment income for writing
call options on underlying securities. The Company did not write any call
options in 1998. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, there were no option
contracts outstanding.

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 December 31,

7. Dividend Restrictions and Shareholder's Equity

The Company paid $255.0 million, $570.0 million and $34.3 million in cash
dividends to HOLDCO in 1999,1998 and 1997, respectively. Of the $255.0 million
paid in 1999, $206 million was accrued for in 1998. Of the $776.0 million
dividends paid or 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.

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 $133.9
million, $148.1 million and $80.5 million for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $845.2
million and $773.0 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

As of December 31, 1999, 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.

8. Capital Gains and Losses on Investment Operations

9. Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return, the
combined New York return, and Illinois unitary state income tax return of
Aetna. Aetna allocates to each member, as permitted under a tax sharing
arrangement, 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.

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, 1999. This amount would be taxed
only under certain conditions. 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 1994. 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 1995 through 1997.

10. 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 (September 30), fair value of plan assets exceed projected
benefit obligations. 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 $6.6 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1997, respectively. There were no charges in 1998 due to favorable
plan asset performance.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company, in conjunction with Aetna, changed the
formula from the previous final average pay formula to a cash balance formula,
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 did not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

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
45 with 10 years of service. The company provides subsidized benefits to
employees whose sum of age and service is at least equal to 65. There is a cap
on the portion of the cost paid by the Company relating to medical and dental
benefits. The costs to the Company associated with the Aetna postretirement
plans for 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $2.1 million, $1.0 million and $2.4 million,
respectively.

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 (September 30), accumulated
benefit obligations exceeded fair value of plan assets.

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 1999, 1998 and
1997 were $2.1 million, $1.4 million and $0.6 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 $7.7 million, $5.3 million and $5.0 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
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 employees. Executive, middle

management and non-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,
from time to time, 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 1999, 1998 and 1997, were $0.4 million, $4.2 million and
$2.9 million, respectively.

11. Related Party Transactions

Investment Advisory and Other Fees

The Company serves as investment advisor to the Aetna managed mutual funds and
variable funds (collectively, the Funds). Under the advisory agreements, the
Funds pay the Company a daily fee which, on an annual basis, ranged, depending
on the fund, from 0.25% to 0.95% 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 and other income, amounted to $424.2 million, $349.0
million and $271.2 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Reinsurance Transactions

Effective December 31, 1988, the Company entered into a modified coinsurance
reinsurance agreement ("MODCO") with Aetna Life Insurance Company ("Aetna
Life"), an affiliate company, 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. Effective January 1, 1997, this
agreement was amended to transition (based on underlying investment rollover in
Aetna Life) from a modified coinsurance arrangement to a coinsurance agreement.
As a result of this change, reserves were ceded to the Company from Aetna Life
as investment rollover occurred. Effective October 1, 1998, this agreement was
fully transitioned to a coinsurance arrangement and this business along with
the Company's direct individual non-participation life insurance business was
sold to Lincoln. (Refer to note 3).

The operating results of the domestic individual life business are presented as
Discontinued Operations. Premiums of $17.9 million, $336.3 million and $176.7
million and current and future benefits of $8.6 million, $341.1 million and
$183.9 million, were assumed in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Investment
income of $17.0 million and $37.5 million was generated from a reinsurance loan
to affiliate for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Prior to the sale of the domestic individual life insurance business to Lincoln
on October 1, 1998, the Company's retention limit per individual life was $2.0
million and amounts in excess of this

limit, up to a maximum of $8.0 million on any new individual life business was
reinsured with Aetna Life on a yearly renewable term basis. Premium amounts
related to this agreement were $2.0 million and $5.9 million for 1998 and 1997,
respectively. This agreement was terminated effective October 1, 1998.

Effective October 1, 1997, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement
with Aetna Life to assume amounts in excess of $0.2 million for certain of its
participating life insurance, on a yearly renewable term basis. Premium amounts
related to this agreement were $4.4 million in1998. 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 $115.3 million and $87.8
million were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

Capital Transactions

The Company received no capital contributions in 1999. In 1998, the Company
received a capital contribution of $9.3 million in cash from HOLDCO. In 1997,
the Company returned capital of $5.0 million to HOLDCO.

Refer to note 7 for dividends paid to HOLDCO.

Other

Premiums due and other receivables include $10.5 million and $1.6 million due
from affiliates in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Other liabilities include $1.9
million and $2.2 million due to affiliates for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Aetna transferred to the Company $0.8 million, $1.7 million and $3.8 million
based on its decision not to settle state tax liabilities for the years 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively, as permitted under the tax sharing arrangement,
which is reported in other changes 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.

12. 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 3)

12. Reinsurance (continued)

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.

14. 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, the Company had off-balance
sheet commitments to purchase investments of $68.7 million with an estimated
fair value of $68.9 million. At December 31, 1999, there were no off-balance
sheet commitments.

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
consideration of the defenses available to the Company and any related reserves
established, it is not expected to result in liability for amounts material to
the financial condition of the Company, although it may adversely affect
results of operations in future periods.

No. 38 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-41694), as filed
on February 23, 2000.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

      As of February 29, 2000, there were 597,695 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,
<PAGE>

penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee
benefit plan, or 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. Pursuant to
Section 33-771(d), 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 and
international 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 Life
            Account C 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).

Item 31. Management Services

      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)   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.

      (e)   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.: 33-81216 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, as amended to the date
hereof, and this Post-Effective Amendment No. 14. 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.
<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
