                              PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

We at Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company are pleased to bring you the
2000 semi-annual report of the Nationwide VL Separate Account-C.

During the first half of 2000 fixed income and equity markets took a hiatus from
their recent advances. It appears the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikers are
accomplishing the intended purpose. Recent economic statistics show some
moderation in the areas of home and vehicles sales because of the higher
interest costs. And, there are other favorable indications that the Fed may yet
"glide" the economy to a soft landing. Inflation remains low. Sustained
increases in worker productivity continue to dampen pricing pressures of an
increasingly tight labor pool. Corporate profitability growth remains viable. An
improving global economy bodes well for U.S. exporting businesses. While all
this provides a positive backdrop, we expect the markets will continue jittery
and volatile during the second half of the year as uncertainty over further Fed
actions persists. However, we believe patient investors in financial assets will
be amply rewarded when we move beyond this temporary respite.

Nationwide Life was a forerunner in the variable annuity and variable life
insurance business. We continue to develop new and innovative investment
products to better meet your financial planning and retirement needs. And, we
are equally committed to providing you, our valued customer, the exceptional
level of customer service you expect and deserve.



                         /s/ Joseph J. Gasper, President

HOW TO READ THE SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

This semi-annual report is a presentation of the variable account as a whole and
only describes the underlying contracts and products of the variable account in
general terms. Please note the variable account may have more than one variable
product available. Such products may have different underlying mutual funds
available than those available in your contract. Therefore, not all funds listed
in this report may be available in your contract. Please refer to your most
recent account statement for specific information about your investment in the
Nationwide VL Separate Account-C. Rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and recognized conventions of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principals prescribe the format and content of this report.

We also invite you to call our service center at 1-877-351-8808 if you have
questions about your account, or you may access your account using our voice
response unit. And, please visit our web-site at www.bestofamerica.com for
additional information about your contract and to learn more about other
products and services offered by Nationwide Financial.

THE ANNUAL REPORT HAS FOUR MAJOR FINANCIAL SECTIONS:

STATEMENT OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND CONTRACT OWNER'S EQUITY

This statement begins on page 6 and lists all of the underlying mutual funds of
the variable account, the number of shares owned, the amount paid for the shares
and their market value as of the close of business on June 30, 2000. The mutual
funds are listed in alphabetical order. The market value of the assets changes
as the underlying mutual funds change in value. As contract owners make exchange
transactions between the funds, the number of shares increases or decreases
accordingly. When money is deposited or withdrawn by a contract owner, shares
are correspondingly purchased or redeemed. The total market value of the funds
is equal to the TOTAL INVESTMENTS of the variable account.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, if applicable, represents an asset of the variable account
for money market fund shares purchased by contract owners and reinvested
dividend shares added to contract owners' accounts, but not yet added to Total
investments. Total investments plus Accounts receivable equal TOTAL ASSETS of
the variable account.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, if applicable, is a liability of the variable account for
money market fund shares redeemed by contract owners' but not yet deducted from
Total investments.

Total assets minus Accounts payable equals CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY. A summary of
Contract owners' equity by funds series may be found on page 25. This summary
also includes investment return for the reporting period for each fund series.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY

These statements begin on page 9 and present the financial activity of each
underlying mutual fund sub-account of the variable account, for the periods
indicated.

The INVESTMENT ACTIVITY section shows income to the variable account for
reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions paid by the underlying
mutual funds. Also shown are the mortality, expense and administration charges
which are assessed through the daily unit value calculation and which represent
an expense to the variable account and its contract owners. This section also
shows the realized gain or loss as mutual fund shares are sold, and the change
in unrealized gain or loss, which represents the changes in market value of the
underlying fund shares.

The EQUITY TRANSACTIONS section illustrates the receipt of purchase payments, as
new contracts are sold or additional payments made to existing contracts. Also
presented are deductions from the variable account when the contract owners
withdraw money.

The sum of the above two sections represents the NET CHANGE IN CONTRACT OWNERS'
EQUITY which when added to the beginning Contract owners' equity equals Contract
owners' equity at the end of the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, beginning on page 21, provide further disclosures
about the variable account and its underlying contract provisions.

         At June 30, 2000, contract owners have invested in all of the above
         funds except for Janus Aspen Series - Capital Appreciation Portfolio -
         Service Class, Strong Opportunity Fund II, Inc., Oppenheimer VAF -
         Global Securities Fund and Morgan Stanley Mid Cap Growth Portfolio. The
         contract owners' equity is affected by the investment results of each
         fund, equity transactions by contract owners and certain contract
         expenses (see note 2).

         The accompanying financial statements include only contract owners'
         purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions of their
         contracts and exclude any purchase payments for fixed dollar benefits,
         the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.

         A contract owner may choose from among a number of different underlying
         mutual fund options. The underlying mutual fund options are not
         available to the general public directly. The underlying mutual funds
         are available as investment options in variable life insurance policies
         or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies or, in
         some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or
         retirement plans.


                                       22
<PAGE>   22

         Some of the underlying mutual funds have been established by investment
         advisers which manage publicly traded mutual funds having similar names
         and investment objectives. While some of the underlying mutual funds
         may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after, publicly traded
         mutual funds, the underlying mutual funds are not otherwise directly
         related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the
         investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and any
         corresponding underlying mutual funds may differ substantially.

     (c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income

         The market value of the underlying mutual funds is based on the closing
         net asset value per share at June 30, 2000. The cost of investments
         sold is determined on the specific identification basis. Investment
         transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
         or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
         date.

     (d) Federal Income Taxes

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

         The Company does not provide for income taxes within the Account. Taxes
         are the responsibility of the contract owner upon termination or
         withdrawal.

     (e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if
         any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
         of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
         could differ from those estimates.

(2)  POLICY CHARGES

     (a) Deductions from Premium

         The Company deducts a charge for state premium taxes of 3.5% on all
         premiums received to cover the payment of premium taxes. Additionally,
         the Company deducts a front-end sales load not to exceed 5.5% from each
         premium payment received. The Company may at its sole discretion reduce
         this sales loading.

     (b) Cost of Insurance

         A cost of insurance charge is assessed monthly against each contract by
         liquidating units. The amount of the charge is based upon age, sex,
         rate class and net amount at risk (death benefit less total contract
         value).

     (c) Administrative Charges

         The Company deducts a monthly administrative expense charge to recover
         policy maintenance, accounting, record keeping and other administrative
         expenses and is assessed against each contract by liquidating units.
         Currently, this charge is $5.00 per month in all policy years. On a
         guaranteed basis this charge is $10.00 per month in all policy years.

(3)  ASSET CHARGES

     For corporate flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a charge from
     the contract to cover mortality and expense risk charges related to
     operations. This charge is guaranteed not to exceed an annual rate of .75%.
     Currently, this rate is .40% during the first through fourth policy years,
     .25% during the fifth through twentieth policy years, and .10% thereafter.
     For the reduced fee tier corporate flexible premium contracts the current
     rate is .10% for all policy years.

     Nationwide may reduce or eliminate certain charges, where the size or
     nature of the group results in savings in sales, underwriting,
     administrative or other costs, to Nationwide. These charges may be
     reduced in certain group, sponsored arrangements or special exchange
     programs made available by Nationwide.

                                                                     (Continued)

(4)  POLICY LOANS (NET OF REPAYMENTS)

     Contract provisions allow contract owners to borrow 90% of a policy's cash
     surrender value. Interest is charged on the outstanding loan and is due and
     payable in advance on the policy anniversary.

     At the time the loan is granted, the amount of the loan is transferred from
     the Account to the Company's general account as collateral for the
     outstanding loan. Collateral amounts in the general account are credited
     with the stated rate of interest in effect at the time the loan is made,
     subject to a guaranteed minimum rate. Interest credited is paid by the
     Company's general account to the Account. Loan repayments result in a
     transfer of collateral including interest back to the Account. There were
     no policy loans in the current year.

(5)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company performs various services on behalf of the Mutual Fund
     Companies in which the Account invests and may receive fees for the
     services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder
     communications, preparation, postage, fund transfer agency and various
     other record keeping and customer service functions. These fees are paid to
     an affiliate of the Company.
