This  Prospectus  describes a modified  single  premium  variable life insurance
policy being  offered by American  Skandia  Life  Assurance  Corporation  ("we,"
"our," "us," "American  Skandia," or "the Company"),  One Corporate Drive,  P.O.
Box 883, Shelton,  Connecticut,  06484. This policy may be offered as individual
coverage  or as an  interest  in a group  policy.  This  Prospectus  provides  a
detailed  discussion of matters you should consider before buying a policy. This
policy  or  certain  of its  investment  options  may  not be  available  in all
jurisdictions.  Various rights and benefits may differ between  jurisdictions to
meet  applicable  law  and/or  regulations.  This  Prospectus  is made up of the
following  general  sections:  Cover  Page,  Table  of  Contents,   Definitions,
Description of the Offering, Miscellaneous Provisions and Additional Details. On
this  cover  page  and in the  Description  of the  Offering  section,  we use a
"question and answer" format to assist you in understanding this offering.
The questions are numbered for easy reference.
   
What is American  Skandia  offering?  We are  offering a type of cash value life
insurance  coverage.  This life insurance  coverage is called a "modified single
premium variable life insurance  policy." These technical terms can be explained
as follows:

|X|  The coverage is "life insurance" because a death benefit becomes payable to
     a beneficiary  upon the death of the insured  person (if coverage is issued
     on two insureds,  the death benefit is payable upon the death of the second
     of the insureds to die).  It is "cash  value" life  insurance  because,  in
     addition to a death  benefit,  it also  provides  living  benefits  for the
     owner,  such as the right to take  withdrawals  and the right to take loans
     from us using the value of the policy as collateral.

|X|  The coverage is called  "modified  single premium" because we do not accept
     any  premium  other  than the  first  unless we know  about the  additional
     premium during the underwriting  period or an additional amount is required
     to keep the policy from being cancelled.

|X|  The  coverage is  "variable"  because you can  allocate all or part of your
     premium to variable  investment options that invest in an underlying mutual
     fund or a portfolio of an underlying  mutual fund. The variable  investment
     options  are  segments  of  American  Skandia  Life  Assurance  Corporation
     Separate Account F ("Account F"). The following  underlying mutual funds or
     portfolios  of the  following  underlying  mutual funds are being  offered:
     American  Skandia Trust,  The Alger  American Fund and Montgomery  Variable
     Series.  The available  portfolios of these underlying mutual funds and the
     applicable  investment management fees and operating expenses are listed on
     page  16.  The  performance  of  the  variable  investment  options  is not
     guaranteed.  You bear the  investment  risk if you allocate  funds to these
     investment  options because the performance of these investment options can
     decrease or increase  which can impact the death benefit and the cash value
     of the Policy.

|X|  The coverage  allows you to allocate all or part of your premium to a fixed
     option to which we credit a fixed rate of interest.  We guarantee  the rate
     of return on this option.  These  obligations  are supported by our general
     account. We bear the investment risk if you allocate funds to this option.

|X|  We believe this policy will be treated as a "modified  endowment  contract"
     under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In general, the tax treatment
     of a  modified  endowment  contract's  death  benefit is similar to that of
     death benefits under life  insurance  policies,  while the tax treatment of
     the  contract's  living  benefits  are similar to those of living  benefits
     under  deferred  annuities.  This  means  that  in most  circumstances  the
     beneficiary owes no Federal income tax on the death proceeds. However, most
     distributions  from such a policy  while the  insured  is alive,  including
     loans,   withdrawals  and  surrender,   are  taxable  to  the  owner,  like
     distributions  from a deferred annuity before annuity payments begin.  This
     means that such distributions are deemed to come first from any gain in the
     policy.  Any gain is treated as ordinary income and may be subject to a 10%
     tax penalty if taken  before your age 59 1/2.  Information  relating to the
     tax treatment of life insurance  contracts which are not modified endowment
     contracts appears in the section entitled "Additional Tax Considerations".

The variable life insurance policy described in this Prospectus is not a deposit
of or  guaranteed  by, any bank or bank  subsidiary,  and is not  insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation,  the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
agency.  The Policy is subject to investment risks,  including the possible loss
of the principal amount invested.

                                   DEFINITIONS

The following are key terms used in this Prospectus.  Other terms are defined in
this Prospectus as they appear.

   
ACCOUNT VALUE is the value of your allocation to each  Sub-account and any Fixed
Allocation,  plus any  earnings and less any losses,  distributions  and charges
thereon,  plus the value of any amounts in the Loan  Account,  plus any earnings
and less any  distributions  and charges thereon,  all before  assessment of any
contingent  deferred  sales  charge,  contingent  deferred  tax  charge or Debt.
Account  Value is  determined  separately  for each  Sub-account  and each Fixed
Allocation,  as well as for any amounts in the Loan Account, and then totaled to
determine the Account Value of your entire Policy.
    

AGE is the age of an Insured for purposes of this Policy. Initially, and for the
first  Policy Year,  it is the age last  birthday of an Insured as of the Policy
Date. In each  following  Policy Year, it is the age last birthday of an Insured
as of the preceding Policy Anniversary.

   
APPLICATION  is the form or  combination of forms you must submit to apply for a
Policy.  If there are two Insureds,  the Application  must be completed for both
Insureds.

BENEFICIARY  is a  person  or  entity  you  designate  for us to pay  any  Death
Proceeds.  Unless  otherwise  specified,  Beneficiary  refers to all  persons or
entities so designated.
    

CASH VALUE is the  Account  Value less any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge,
contingent deferred tax charge and Debt.

CASH VALUE CREDITS are amounts we credit to your Account Value.  We credit these
amounts if your total  Cash  Value on a Policy  Anniversary  equals or exceeds a
Cash Value trigger.

CODE is the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the
regulations thereunder.

   
DEATH BENEFIT is the amount payable as a result of an Insured's death before any
reduction  due to Debt and before  addition of any interest due pursuant to law.
If there is a second Insured, the Death Benefit is payable upon the death of the
last surviving Insured.
    

DEATH  PROCEEDS  equals the Death  Benefit less any reduction for Debt and after
addition of any interest due pursuant to law.

DEBT is the total of any outstanding loan and loan interest.

FACE AMOUNT is the Death Benefit as of the Policy Date.

   
FIXED  ALLOCATION is an allocation of Account Value to our general  account that
is credited a fixed rate of interest.
    

GROWTH is a  portion  of the  Account  Value.  It equals  (a) less (b) less (c),
where:  (a) is the total current Account Value;  (b) is any Debt; and (c) is the
Premium less any partial withdrawals treated as a withdrawal of Premium.

   
GUARANTEED  MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT is the minimum  amount we guarantee is payable
as a result of the Insured's death, before any reduction for Debt, even if it is
higher than the Required Death Benefit.
    

IN WRITING is in a written form, in a manner we accept,  that is satisfactory to
us and filed at our Office. We retain the right to specifically agree in advance
to accept  communication  regarding a specific  matter by  telephone  or by some
other form of electronic transmission, in a manner we prescribe.

INSURED is the person  upon  whose  life  coverage  is issued and as a result of
whose death the Death  Proceeds are payable.  If there is more than one Insured,
Insured means the last surviving Insured, unless otherwise stated.

ISSUE DATE is the date we issue your Policy.

LOAN ACCOUNT is where we maintain  Account Value as collateral for a loan to you
from us.

MATURITY DATE is the Policy Anniversary immediately following the Insured's 95th
birthday, or if there are two Insureds,  immediately following the 95th birthday
of the  younger  Insured,  or what would have been the  younger  Insured's  95th
birthday if the younger Insured predeceases the older Insured.

   
MONTHLY  PROCESSING  DAY/DATE  is the  Valuation  Day each  month when we deduct
charges from the Account Value. The first Monthly  Processing Date is the Policy
Date.  After that, the Monthly  Processing Dates generally occur on the same day
of the month as the Policy Date. If the Monthly  Processing Date occurs on a day
that is not a Valuation Day, the Monthly  Processing Date that month will be the
next Valuation Day.
    

NET SINGLE  PREMIUM is the amount that would be required,  according to the Code
and the regulations  based on the Code, to fund: (a) the Policy's Required Death

                           DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING

   
This Policy is described  using a "question and answer" format that assumes you,
the prospective  purchaser,  are asking the questions.  The description below is
divided into the following sections: Purchasers, The Insurance Company, Benefits
at the Insured's Death, Account Value and Cash Value, Cash Value Credits, Costs,
Buying a Policy, Variable Investment Options, Transfers and Allocation Services,
Loans,   Partial   Withdrawals,    Surrenders,    Accelerated   Death   Benefit,
Medically-Related  Waiver, Risks, Other Rights, The Separate Account,  Taxes and
Available  Information.   A  section  addressing  Miscellaneous  Provisions  and
Additional Details about American Skandia follows this description.
    

                                   PURCHASERS

   
[1] Who should buy this Policy? Life insurance can be bought to meet a number of
needs of  individuals or entities,  such as  corporations  or trusts.  Different
types of life insurance are designed to address  certain needs more than others.
This Policy may be appropriate  for a number of persons or entities,  but it may
be especially  useful for persons  addressing a range of estate  planning needs.
Because of estate taxes,  purchasers  may want to consider  placing this type of
coverage  in a trust or  transferring  ownership  of the  Policy in an effort to
remove the asset from their  estate.  This Policy may also be useful for persons
seeking  to  make  a  sizable  donation  to a  charity  or  eligible  non-profit
organization,  where the  charity  is named both  Owner and  Beneficiary  of the
Policy,  and the donor is named as the Insured.  You should  carefully  evaluate
with  your  financial  representative  whether  this  Policy  is right  for your
specific needs in light of your entire situation and your personal and financial
goals. In particular,  you should evaluate the advantages and  disadvantages  of
replacing any existing life insurance or annuity  coverage with this Policy.  If
you are seeking specific tax  consequences,  you should consult with a competent
tax advisor as to whether and how your goals may best be achieved.
    

                              THE INSURANCE COMPANY

   
[2] Who is American  Skandia?  American  Skandia Life  Assurance  Corporation is
organized as a stock insurance company domiciled in Connecticut. The predecessor
company of American Skandia was originally  incorporated on May 21, 1969. We are
licensed as a life insurer in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We are
a wholly owned subsidiary of American Skandia  Investment  Holding  Corporation,
whose  indirect  parent is Skandia  Insurance  Company  Ltd.  Skandia  Insurance
Company Ltd. is part of a group of companies whose  predecessor began operations
in 1855. Two of our affiliates,  American Skandia Marketing,  Incorporated,  and
American Skandia Information  Services and Technology  Corporation,  may provide
certain administrative  functions for us. We may also engage various independent
firms to provide  various  administrative  functions for us. Another  affiliate,
American  Skandia  Investment  Services,  Incorporated,  currently  acts  as the
investment manager to American Skandia Trust, one of the underlying mutual funds
whose  Portfolios  are available as variable  investment  options.  We currently
engage Skandia Investment  Management,  Inc., an affiliate whose indirect parent
is Skandia  Insurance  Company  Ltd.,  as  investment  manager  for our  general
account.  We are  under no  obligation  to  engage or  continue  to  engage  any
investment manager.
    

                         BENEFITS AT THE INSURED'S DEATH

[3] What benefits are due as a result of the Insured's  death?  The benefits due
as a result of the Insured's  death are the Death  Proceeds.  If there are joint
Insureds,  the benefits  are due as a result of the death of the last  surviving
Insured.

[4] What are the  Death  Proceeds?  The  Death  Proceeds  are based on the Death
Benefit as of the date we receive all our  requirements for paying a death claim
and are satisfied that the death claim can be paid. These requirements  include,
but are not limited to, receipt of a valid death  certificate and information we
need to make payments to all  Beneficiaries.  We determine the Death Proceeds by
first  subtracting  any Debt from the Death  Benefit.  We then add any  interest
amount required by law.

[5] What is the Death  Benefit?  The Death Benefit is the higher of the Required
Death Benefit and the Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit,  each as of the date we
receive due proof of death.  The Required  Death  Benefit is the minimum  amount
that must be payable at the Insured's death,  before reduction for any Debt, for
the  Policy to be  treated  as life  insurance  under the Code.  The  Guaranteed
Minimum  Death  Benefit,  which is discussed  below in response to the question,
"What is the Guaranteed  Minimum Death  Benefit?," is the minimum amount payable
at the  Insured's  death,  before  reduction for any Debt,  irrespective  of the
Required Death Benefit. The Required Death Benefit is determined by treating the
Account  Value as if it were a net single  premium.  We  determine  the Required
Death Benefit by dividing the Account Value by factors that are determined as of
the  Policy  Date.  These  factors  vary  by the  attained  Age,  gender  (where
permitted)  and  risk  class  of the  Insured.  See  Appendix  C for a  complete
description  of the  applicable  factors we use to determine the Required  Death
Benefit. The following are representative  examples of the factors on the Policy
Date for different Ages, genders and risk classes,  as well as the amount of the
Required Death Benefit if the Account Value were $100,000.

     Female, Age 55, not a tobacco user: The factor is .400884. $100,000 divided
     by .400884 results in a Required Death Benefit of $249,449.

     Male,  Age 60, a tobacco user: The factor is .586632.  $100,000  divided by
     .586632 results in a Required Death Benefit of $170,465.

     Female, Age 70, a tobacco user: The factor is .637176.  $100,000 divided by
     .637176 results in a Required Death Benefit of $156,943.

     Male, Age 75, not a tobacco user: The factor is .736865.  $100,000  divided
     by .736865 results in a Required Death Benefit of $135,710.

As noted above,  the factors depend on the Insured's  gender (where  permitted),
risk class and  attained  Age. The gender and risk class of the Insured does not
change, so the only element that changes the factor after the Policy Date is the
aging of the Insured.

   
The  following  example  illustrates  the effect of aging on the Required  Death
Benefit.
    

The Insured is a woman,  Age 64, for whom  coverage  was issued at her Age 60 in
the "not a tobacco  user" risk  class.  On the  Valuation  Day before the Policy
Anniversary  following  the  Insured's  65th  birthday,  the  Account  Value  is
$100,000.  The  Required  Death  Benefit  as  required  under  the Code for this
Insured's age,  gender,  risk class and Account Value is $100,000 divided by the
applicable  factor of  .521878,  which  results in a Required  Death  Benefit of
$191,616.  For the sake of this  example,  assume that the next  Valuation  Day,
which is the Policy  Anniversary  after the Insured's 65th birthday (the day the
Insured  turns Age 65 for purposes of the  Policy),  the Account  Value  remains
$100,000.  At the  higher Age of 65, the  Required  Death  Benefit on the Policy
Anniversary  is $100,000  divided by the  applicable  factor of  .536544,  which
results in a Required Death Benefit of $186,378.

[6] What else can affect the Required Death Benefit?  The Required Death Benefit
changes as the Account Value changes. This is because the Required Death Benefit
is calculated based on the Account Value. A few examples may help show what this
means.  Assume for purposes of these  examples that the Insured is a woman,  Age
65, for whom  coverage was issued at her Age 60 in the "not a tobacco user" risk
class.

         (a) On a particular  Monthly  Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy is  $100,000.  The Required  Death  Benefit as of that  Valuation  Day is
$100,000 divided by the then applicable factor of .536544 or $186,378. As of the
next Valuation Day, assume the Account Value has grown to $100,010. The Required
Death Benefit is $100,010 divided by the same factor of .536544, or $186,396.

         (b) On a particular  Monthly  Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy is  $100,000.  The Required  Death  Benefit as of that  Valuation  Day is
$100,000 divided by the then applicable  factor of .536544,  or $186,378.  As of
the next Valuation Day,  assume the Account Value has decreased to $99,990.  The
Required  Death  Benefit is $99,990  divided by the same factor of  .536544,  or
$186,359.

         (c) On a particular  Monthly  Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy before any partial withdrawal is $100,000.  The Required Death Benefit as
of that  Valuation  Day is  $100,000  divided by the then  applicable  factor of
 .536544,  or $186,378.  On that same day,  assume  $20,000 is taken as a partial
withdrawal. Immediately after the partial withdrawal, the Required Death Benefit
is $80,000 divided by the same factor of .536544, or $149,102.

[7] What is the Face Amount?  The Face Amount is the Required  Death  Benefit on
the Policy Date.

   
[8] What is the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit?  We use the Guaranteed Minimum
Death Benefit to determine the Death  Proceeds if the  Guaranteed  Minimum Death
Benefit is higher than the Required Death Benefit.  The Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit is determined as follows:
    

     (a)  On the Policy Date,  the  Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit equals the
          Premium.

     (b)  After the  Policy  Date and until the first  Policy  Anniversary,  the
          Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit is the Premium less every "reduction
          due to a withdrawal," which is defined below.

     (c)  After the first Policy  Anniversary but before the "target date," (the
          Policy Anniversary when the Insured is Age 75), the Guaranteed Minimum
          Death Benefit is the higher of (1) or (2),  where:  (1) is the Premium
          less every  "reduction  due to a  withdrawal";  and (2) is the highest
          "Anniversary  Value."  "Anniversary Value" is the Account Value on any
          Policy Anniversary less every reduction due to a withdrawal since that
          Policy Anniversary.

     (d)  On or after the "target date," the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is
          the  higher  of (1) or  (2),  where:  (1) is the  Premium  less  every
          "reduction  due to a withdrawal";  and (2) is the highest  Anniversary
          Value,  as defined  above in (c), as of the "target  date," less every
          "reduction due to a withdrawal" after the "target date."

     (e)  Notwithstanding  items (a) through (d) above, if the Insured is Age 75
          or older on the Policy Date, the  Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit is
          the Premium less every "reduction due to a withdrawal."

     (f)  If the Policy is issued for two (2) Insureds,  the Guaranteed  Minimum
          Death  Benefit  is based on the age of the  younger  Insured,  or what
          would have been the age of the younger  Insured if the younger Insured
          predeceases the older Insured.

A "reduction  due to a withdrawal" is a  proportional  reduction.  It equals the
ratio by which the Account Value is reduced by a partial withdrawal or a payment
under the Accelerated Death Benefit provision, described below in the section of
the same name,  multiplied  by the  Guaranteed  Minimum  Death Benefit as of the
effective  date of such  partial  withdrawal  or payment.  For  example,  if the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit before a partial withdrawal is $100,000 and the
Account Value is $120,000,  the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit after a $60,000
partial  withdrawal (a 50%  reduction in the Account  Value) would be $50,000 (a
50% reduction in the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit).

   
[9] How are Death  Proceeds  paid? We pay the Death Proceeds as a lump sum or in
accordance with the terms of whatever  settlement options we then make available
to Beneficiaries.  Generally,  Beneficiaries can choose a lump sum or one of the
settlement  options  we make  available.  However,  you may choose the method of
payment for your  Beneficiaries if you notify us In Writing before the Insured's
death how you want the Death Proceeds to be paid.
    

                          ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE

[10]  What is the  Account  Value?  The  Account  Value is the value of a Policy
before any  deduction  for any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge,  contingent
deferred tax charge or Debt. It is the total of the Account  Value  allocated to
each  Sub-account  and any Fixed  Allocation  plus any Account Value in the Loan
Account.  You may allocate  Account  Value to the variable  investment  options,
which  are  each  of the  Sub-accounts  of the  Separate  Account,  or to  Fixed
Allocations.  Any portion of the Account  Value  maintained  in the Loan Account
serves as collateral for outstanding Policy loans.

[11] How does  American  Skandia  determine  the Account  Value in the  variable
investment  options?  On each Valuation  Date, the Account Value in any variable
investment  option you utilize  equals the number of Units you then  maintain in
that investment option multiplied by that investment  option's then current Unit
Price. When you allocate all or a portion of the Premium to an investment option
or when you transfer Account Value into a variable investment option,  Units are
purchased using the then current Unit Price. When you take all or a portion of a
distribution  or  benefit  from a  variable  investment  option or you  transfer
Account  Value from a  variable  investment  option,  Units are sold at the then
current Unit Price in order to fund that distribution, benefit or transfer.

   
[12]  How  does  American   Skandia   determine  the  Account  Value  for  Fixed
Allocations? We credit a fixed rate of interest to Fixed Allocations.  From time
to time we declare  interest rates applicable to new Fixed  Allocations.  If you
make a Fixed  Allocation,  we  credit  the rate  then in  effect  to that  Fixed
Allocation until the next Policy  Anniversary.  Once that Policy  Anniversary is
reached,  we credit,  for the next Policy Year, the then current rate applicable
to new Fixed  Allocations.  This applies to all your Fixed  Allocations  then in
effect.  During each subsequent  Policy Year, the rate we credit for that Policy
Year is the one then in effect for new Fixed Allocations.
    

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Policy offered pursuant to this Prospectus includes Fixed Allocations. These
Fixed  Allocations  are not  registered  as a security with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  under either the  Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment
Company  Act of 1940.  The Fixed  Allocations  are not  subject  to these  Acts.
Information  about the Fixed  Allocations is included in this Prospectus to help
with  your  understanding  of the  features  of the  Policy.  The  staff  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission has not reviewed this information.  However,
the information may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the
Federal  securities  laws  regarding  accuracy  and  completeness.   The  assets
supporting Fixed Allocations are held in American Skandia's general account.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13]  How  does  American   Skandia   determine  the  interest  rate  for  Fixed
Allocations?  We determine the interest rate applied to Fixed  Allocations based
on our assessment of the earnings we expect to achieve when investing to support
these obligations, our costs, competition,  profit targets and other factors. We
have sole  discretion  to determine the rates.  However,  the interest rate will
never be less than 3.0% per year, compounded yearly.

[14] How does American Skandia  determine the Account Value in the Loan Account?
The rate we credit to Account Value in the Loan Account  depends on whether that
Account Value is serving as collateral  for  "preferred  loans" or for "standard
loans,"  which are  discussed  below in  response  to the  question  "What are a
`preferred loan' and a `standard  loan'?" We credit interest at the rate of 6.0%
per year,  compounded  yearly,  to Account Value in the Loan Account  serving as
collateral  for  "preferred  loans." We credit  interest at the rate of 4.0% per
year,  compounded  yearly,  to  Account  Value in the Loan  Account  serving  as
collateral for "standard loans."

[15] What is the Cash Value?  The Cash Value is the total Account Value less any
contingent deferred sales charge, contingent deferred tax charge and Debt.

[16] Do I have to maintain a minimum Cash Value?  The answer  depends on whether
there is any Debt.  You do not have to maintain a minimum Cash Value if there is
no Debt,  except if you take a partial  withdrawal.  We will inform you if, on a
Monthly  Processing  Date,  your Cash Value  equals or is less than  zero.  Such
Monthly  Processing Date will be the beginning of the grace period. At that time
we will also inform you of the amount you can pay if you wish to reestablish any
Cash Value.  No payment is required.  The Policy remains in force with the Death
Benefit equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit as of the beginning of the
grace period.

If there is any Debt,  there must  always be enough  Cash Value so that after we
deduct any charges the Cash Value is more than zero.  If the Cash Value would be
zero or less after we deduct  charges,  we send you a notice giving you a 61-day
"grace period" to send us a required  amount.  If this amount is not paid by the
end of the grace period, the Policy ends without value.

                               CASH VALUE CREDITS

[17] What are Cash Value Credits,  and how do I get them? Cash Value Credits are
amounts we credit to your  Account  Value,  where  permitted  by law. We provide
these amounts if your total Cash Value on a Policy Anniversary equals or exceeds
a Cash Value  trigger.  We determine if your Policy is eligible for a Cash Value
Credit on each Policy  Anniversary.  Your  Policy's  eligibility  for Cash Value
Credits may change from year to year.  Whether  your Cash Value meets or exceeds
the trigger  depends on the investment  performance  of the investment  options,
partial withdrawals, Debt and whether you pay back any loans or loan interest.

   
[18] What is the Cash  Value  trigger?  The Cash  Value  trigger  is 200% of the
Premium.  That means that,  even if your Account  Value is greater than the Cash
Value Trigger, you may not have reached the trigger amount, since the Cash Value
may be less than the Account Value due to the contingent  deferred sales charge,
the contingent deferred tax charge and any Debt.

[19] How much is added to my Account Value? The Cash Value Credit, if any, added
to your Account  Value equals 0.25% of the Cash Value on the  applicable  Policy
Anniversary. The following examples illustrate how this works:
    

(a)               Assume that the Premium paid for a Policy is $100,000.  Assume
                  that  on  the  10th  Policy  Anniversary  the  Cash  Value  is
                  $202,000. The Cash Value trigger is 200% of $100,000, which is
                  $200,000. The amount to be added to the Account Value is 0.25%
                  of $202,000, which is $505.

(b)               For the same  Policy,  assume  that the Cash Value on the 11th
                  Policy  Anniversary  is  $195,000,  due  to a  combination  of
                  investment  performance and a loan of $25,000 in the middle of
                  the Policy Year.  The Cash Value  trigger for this Policy,  as
                  noted above, is $200,000.  Therefore,  no Cash Value Credit is
                  provided on the 11th Policy Anniversary.

(c)               For the same  Policy,  assume  that the Cash Value on the 12th
                  Policy  Anniversary  is  $240,000,  due  to a  combination  of
                  investment  performance  and  repayment  of the  loan and loan
                  interest.  As noted above, the Cash Value trigger is $200,000.
                  The amount to be added is 0.25% of $240,000, which is $600.

[20] Who pays for the Cash Value Credits,  and how are they paid? We pay for any
Cash Value  Credits  out of our  general  account.  We  allocate  any Cash Value
Credits due on the  applicable  Policy  Anniversary  to the variable  investment
options and Fixed  Allocations in which you then maintain Account Value. We make
the allocations  pro-rata based on the Account Value in the variable  investment
options and any Fixed  Allocations  on the  applicable  Policy  Anniversary.  No
allocation  is made to the Loan Account.  Cash Value  Credits  cannot be used to
repay Debt.

                                      COSTS

[21] What kinds of charges  are there for this  Policy?  The Policy has four (4)
different  kinds  of  charges:  (1)  charges  we  assess  daily  against  assets
maintained  in the Separate  Account,  which only apply to the Account Value you
allocate to the variable investment options;  (2) charges we deduct monthly from
the Account  Value and which are due in all Policy  Years;  (3) charges  that we
deduct  monthly from the Account Value only for the first ten Policy Years;  and
(4) "contingent"  charges,  which are those charges that you only pay in certain
specified  circumstances.  There  are also  fees  and  expenses  charged  by the
Portfolios.

   
[22] What are the charges  assessed  against the  Separate  Account and when are
they paid? We assess a mortality  and expense risk charge and an  administration
charge  against the assets in the Separate  Account.  The  mortality and expense
risk charge is 0.90% per year.  The mortality and expense risk we assume is that
charges and fees under the Policy  will be  insufficient  to meet our  long-term
costs and  expenses in issuing,  administering  and paying  claims  based on our
obligations  under  the  Policy.  The  charge  for the  administrative  expenses
connected with operating the Separate Account is 0.25% per year. We assess these
charges each Valuation  Period against the daily value of each  Sub-account.  We
reserve  the right to assess  the  Separate  Account  for any taxes  that may be
attributed to it. Currently, no such charge for taxes is assessed.

[23] What  monthly  charge  applies in all Policy  Years?  We deduct the cost of
insurance charge. We take this charge from your Account Value, in advance,  each
Monthly  Processing Day. The charge is a percentage of your then current Account
Value.
    

[24] How much is the cost of insurance  charge?  The cost of insurance charge is
not a constant dollar amount, in part because it is a percentage of your Account
Value. The percentage of your Account Value that we charge differs  depending on
four  factors:  (1) whether we issue the Policy for only one Insured or for two;
(2) the Age(s) of the  Insured(s)  as of the Policy Date;  (3) the gender of the
Insured(s),  where permitted;  and (4) the risk class(es) of the Insured(s).  We
reserve the right to also have the percentage  decrease based on the size of the
Premium.

The actual charge is a monthly charge.  The equivalent  yearly cost of insurance
charges  as of the  Policy  Date are  shown  below for a Policy  issued  for one
Insured.  The charges  will be different if we are required by law to charge the
same  amount for males and  females.  For  purposes  of this and the  succeeding
table, "Age" is as of the Policy Date.

- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
   Gender          Tobacco Usage Class        Age 20-69         Age 70-90
  ---------------- ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
   Male              No Tobacco Use            0.55%             0.90%
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
   Female             No Tobacco Use            0.40%             0.75%
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
   Male               Tobacco User             0.90%             1.25%
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
   Female              Tobacco User             0.75%             1.10%
- ------------------ ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------

If the Policy is issued for two Insureds,  the yearly percentages of the Account
Value we deduct for the cost of insurance will depend on the risk classes of the
Insureds.  The  following  are examples of  applicable  charges as of the Policy
Date. The charges will be different if we are required by law to charge the same
amount for males and females.

</TABLE>

[25] Is  there a  maximum  cost of  insurance  charge?  We  monitor  the cost of
insurance  charge  so that it never  exceeds a  guaranteed  maximum  charge.  We
determine the guaranteed maximum as if we were charging you an increasing amount
based on the  Insured's  attained  Age and were  assessing  that  charge  on the
difference  between the Death Benefit and the Account Value.  If the percentages
we otherwise  would charge would exceed the guaranteed  maximum,  we only charge
the guaranteed maximum.

The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge depends on the risk class of the
Insured(s).  Also, if required by law,  unisex  charges will apply.  We base the
guaranteed  maximum  charges on the sex  distinct  1980  Commissioners  Standard
Ordinary Ultimate  Mortality Table, age last birthday unless unisex rates apply.
See Appendix D for a  description  of the maximum cost of insurance  charges for
different age gender and risk classes.

   
[26] What monthly charges apply only for a specified  number of Policy Years? We
deduct  the tax charge and the sales  charge  for a  specified  number of Policy
Years.

[27] How much is the sales  charge  and when do I pay it?  We  deduct  the sales
charge  during  the first ten (10)  Policy  Years.  It is a  percentage  of your
Account  Value and is the  equivalent  of 0.40% per year.  We deduct this charge
from your Account Value each Monthly  Processing Day. The charge is a percentage
of your then  current  Account  Value.  If you  surrender  your Policy or take a
partial  withdrawal,  we may  deduct a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge,  as
described below in response to the question "How much is the contingent deferred
sales charge and when must I pay it?"
    

There are certain  circumstances which may result in reduction or elimination of
the sales charge.  These are exactly the same  circumstances  that may result in
reduction or elimination of the contingent  deferred sales charge,  as described
below in response to the question  "How much is the  contingent  deferred  sales
charge and when must I pay it?"

   
[28] How much is the tax  charge  and when do I pay it? We deduct the tax charge
during the first ten (10) Policy Years. It is a percentage of your Account Value
and is the equivalent of 0.25% per year. We deduct this charge from your Account
Value each  Monthly  Processing  Day.  The charge is a  percentage  of your then
current  Account  Value.  If  you  surrender  your  Policy  or  take  a  partial
withdrawal,  we deduct a contingent  deferred tax charge,  as described below in
response to the  question  "How much is the  contingent  deferred tax charge and
when must I pay it?"
    

[29] What are the  contingent  charges?  The  contingent  charges  are:  (1) the
contingent  deferred sales charge;  (2) the contingent  deferred tax charge; (3)
the maintenance fee; and (4) the transfer fee.

[30] How much is the  contingent  deferred  sales charge and when must I pay it?
The  contingent  deferred  sales charge is a  percentage  of the Premium that is
charged if you  surrender or withdraw any amount:  (a) during the first nine (9)
Policy Years; and (b) that,  according to our rules, is a withdrawal of Premium,
not a  withdrawal  of  Growth.  It may be  assessed  at the time of any  partial
withdrawal or  surrender,  unless the Policy  qualifies for a  medically-related
waiver of these charges, as discussed in the section of this Prospectus entitled
"Medically-Related Waiver." The percentages are as follows:

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

From time to time, and to the extent  permitted by law, we may reduce the amount
of the sales charge and the contingent  deferred sales charge, the period during
which such charges apply,  or both,  when Policies are sold to persons or groups
of persons in a manner that  reduces  sales  expenses.  We would  consider  such
factors as: (a) the size and type of group;  (b) the amount of Premiums;  and/or
(c) other transactions where sales expenses are likely to be reduced.

No sales charge or contingent  deferred  sales charge is imposed when, as of the
Policy  Date,  the Owner or the  Insured  of a Policy  issued  pursuant  to this
Prospectus is: (a) any parent  company,  affiliate or subsidiary of ours; (b) an
officer, director, employee, retiree, sales representative, or in the case of an
affiliated  broker-dealer,  registered  representative  of such  company;  (c) a
director,  officer or trustee of any  underlying  mutual  fund;  (d) a director,
officer or employee of any  investment  manager,  sub-advisor,  transfer  agent,
custodian, auditing, legal or administrative services provider that is providing
investment management, advisory, transfer agency, custodianship, auditing, legal
and/or administrative  services to an underlying mutual fund or any affiliate of
such firm; (e) a director,  officer,  employee or registered representative of a
broker-dealer or insurance agency that has a then current selling agreement with
us  and/or  with  American  Skandia  Marketing,  Incorporated;  (f) a  director,
officer,  employee or authorized  representative of any firm providing us or our
affiliates  with  regular  legal,  actuarial,  auditing,  underwriting,  claims,
administrative,  computer support,  marketing, office or other services; (g) the
then current  spouse of any such person noted in (b) through (f) above;  (h) the
parents  of such  person  noted in (b)  through  (g)  above;  (i) such  person's
child(ren) or other legal dependent under the age of 21; and (j) the siblings of
any such persons noted in (b) through (h) above.

[31] How much is the contingent deferred tax charge, and when must I pay it? The
contingent deferred tax charge is a percentage of the Premium that is charged if
you  surrender  or  withdraw  any  amount:  (a) during the first nine (9) Policy
Years; and (b) that,  according to our rules, is a withdrawal of Premium,  not a
withdrawal  of Growth.  It is assessed at the time of any partial  withdrawal or
surrender,  unless the Policy qualifies for a medically-related  waiver of these
charges,   as   discussed   on   the   section   of  the   Prospectus   entitled
"Medically-Related Waiver." The percentages are as follows:

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

[32] How much is the maintenance fee and when must I pay it? The maintenance fee
is $2.50 per  month.  We take the  charge  from your  Account  Value  monthly in
advance.  However,  we will waive the maintenance fee on any Monthly  Processing
Day if your Account Value is $75,000 or greater.

[33] How much is the transfer  fee and when must I pay it? We charge  $10.00 for
every transfer after the 12th in each Policy Year. That includes  transfers into
a Fixed Allocation and any transfers from a Fixed Allocation unless the transfer
occurs on a Policy  Anniversary.  It does not include  transfers made as part of
any dollar cost  averaging  program we offer.  For this  purpose,  all transfers
occurring  during the same  Valuation  Period are  considered  one transfer.  We
assess the transfer fee at the time of any transfer which is subject to the fee.

[34] How are charges  deducted from Account  Value?  We deduct charges from your
investment  options  pro-rata  based on the  Account  Value  in each  investment
option.  If you maintain  Account  Value in more than one Fixed  Allocation in a
Policy Year, any applicable  charges will be deducted on a "last-in,  first-out"
basis,  starting  with  the last  Fixed  Allocation  that was made  prior to the
Monthly Processing Date the deduction is made. Upon surrender or withdrawal,  we
assess  charges  against the  investment  options  pro-rata in the same ratio as
Account Value is being withdrawn from such investment options.

   
[35] What charges do the Portfolios  make? We do not assess any charges  against
the Portfolios.  However, each Portfolio charges a total annual fee comprised of
an investment management fee and operating expenses. Expenses for the Portfolios
are provided in the "Variable  Investment  Options" section below. More detailed
information  about fees and  charges  can be found in the  prospectuses  for the
Portfolios.
    

                                 BUYING A POLICY

   
[36] How do I buy a Policy?  We require  that our  standards  be met and that we
receive a Premium before we issue a Policy.  We need information to determine if
those  standards  have been met. We require you to submit an Application as part
of our  effort to gather  the  needed  information.  We may  require  additional
information,  including,  but not  limited  to,  some of the  Insured's  medical
records.  We may also require the Insured to take certain medical tests. As part
of our  standards,  we will not issue a Policy  if, as of the Policy  Date,  the
Insured would be less than Age 20 or older than Age 90. If our standards are not
met and we received a Premium,  we will return an amount equal to the Premium to
you. No interest will be paid.

To the  extent  permitted  by law,  we  reserve  the  right to  apply  differing
standards  of  insurability  to  persons  who may be part of a group  or who may
qualify,  for some other reason,  as part of a different class. Such classes may
include,  but are not limited to, persons  seeking a Policy who are applying all
or a portion of proceeds from an insurance or annuity contract, or proceeds of a
redemption  from another  financial  product,  such as mutual funds.  One of the
criteria we may apply in such a situation  is that such  differing  standards of
insurability  apply only after  maintaining funds in such policy,  contract,  or
financial product for a specified period of time.
    

[37] What is the Premium, and when do I pay it? The minimum Premium we generally
accept is $10,000. We may accept less under certain  circumstances.  The maximum
we accept  without  prior  approval by our home office is  $500,000.  If you are
seeking a specific Face Amount,  the Premium will depend on the  Insured's  age,
risk class and gender, where permitted.  We will determine the Face Amount using
the Premium as the Net Single  Premium  for the  Insured's  age,  risk class and
gender, where permitted. You may submit Premium with the Application if: (a) the
Insured  is not  over  age  80;  and  (b)  the  Insured  meets  certain  medical
underwriting  criteria.  If any portion of the Premium is to be received as part
of a replacement of a life  insurance,  endowment or annuity policy then we must
receive all our requirements In Writing for all such replacements as of the same
date  and any  additional  Premium  amounts  other  than  the  proceeds  of such
replacement  must be received by us at our Office at the same time as we receive
such requirements In Writing. Replacements include tax-free exchanges subject to
our acceptance. We will immediately return any Premium that should not have been
submitted  based on these  criteria.  If we would not  accept  Premium  with the
Application or you chose not to submit a Premium with the  Application,  we will
notify you if and when we have accepted the Application  and agreed,  subject to
submission of the Premium,  to issue a Policy.  We will not issue a Policy until
we receive  Premium at our Office.  We will not accept  Premium of which we were
not informed at the time you submit the Application to us.

   
You may choose to use our funds  transfer  authorization  procedures  as part of
buying a Policy.  If you elect this procedure,  you authorize us to redeem funds
from one or more financial  institutions with which you currently maintain funds
and use those funds to pay Premium.  You must do so In Writing using a form that
authorizes us to obtain such funds only if and when we have  determined that the
Application meets our standards for issuing a Policy. If you use this procedure,
you must provide us with all such authorizations simultaneously.  If you wish to
also pay any  additional  amounts,  we must receive such Premium  amounts at the
same time we receive such authorizations.
    

The standards we apply in reviewing the  Application  may depend on factors such
as the  proposed  Insured's  age and the  amount of Premium to be applied to the
Policy.  In certain  cases,  we may apply  simplified  standards.  However,  the
Premium  amount  you  state in the  Application  may be an  estimate  if you are
planning:  (a) to replace a life insurance,  endowment or annuity policy; (b) to
exchange a life insurance or endowment  policy; or (c) to use our funds transfer
authorization  procedures.  If we used  simplified  standards based on a Premium
estimate but the actual  amounts we receive to be applied as Premium  exceed the
limits for such standards, we reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law,
to not  issue a Policy  and  return  such  amounts  directly  to you or, on your
behalf,  to the financial  institution  from which the funds were  obtained.  We
cannot guarantee such institution will accept the return of such amounts.

   
[38] Am I covered while my  Application  is being  reviewed?  We may issue you a
temporary   insurance   agreement   during  the   "underwriting   period."   The
"underwriting  period"  is the  period  between  the time you first  apply for a
Policy  and the time we either  issue the  Policy or decide  not to issue one. A
temporary insurance agreement may be issued if: (a) the Application is completed
in full; (b) the Insured  answers "no" to certain  questions on the  Application
(these are  questions we use as  indicators  of whether we will issue  temporary
insurance); (c) the Insured is age 80 or younger; and (d) a Premium is submitted
with  the  Application.  If we issue a  temporary  insurance  agreement  and the
Insured (both Insureds if there are two Insureds)  dies during the  underwriting
period, the temporary insurance benefit will be payable if all the conditions of
the  temporary  insurance  agreement  are  satisfied.  The  underwriting  period
generally  will  not  exceed  60  days.  If the  Insured(s)  die(s)  during  the
underwriting  period and no  temporary  insurance  agreement  was in effect,  no
benefit is payable.
    

We will return any Premium  submitted with the Application if we cannot complete
underwriting  within 60 days from the date the  Application  is  signed.  If you
notify us promptly,  we will continue the underwriting process and notify you if
and when you meet our standards for issuing a Policy, at which time you may once
again send us a Premium.

   
Temporary  insurance ends 60 days after the  Application is signed,  even if the
underwriting period exceeds 60 days. In certain jurisdictions,  the underwriting
period and the temporary insurance benefit is limited to 45 days.
    

[39]  What  is the  temporary  insurance  benefit?  If the  Insured  dies  while
temporary  insurance is in effect, we pay the Beneficiary the lesser of the Face
Amount that would be in effect on the Policy Date if a Policy had been issued or
$250,000.  This  $250,000  maximum  applies to all temporary  insurance  then in
effect with us.  Premium  amounts in excess of this benefit are returned to you,
without interest or earnings.

[40] How and when is my Premium  invested?  We invest  the  Premium on the Issue
Date.  You can request that we allocate the Premium  using one or more  variable
investment options and/or a Fixed Allocation.  However,  we initially invest the
portion  of the  Premium  that you  indicate  to us that you  want  invested  in
variable  investment  options in the AST Money  Market  Sub-account,  unless you
submit a "return  waiver" In Writing before the Issue Date,  where  permitted by
law. A return  waiver is an election by you to invest as soon as possible in the
variable  investment options of your choice. If you submit a "return waiver" and
then decide to return your Policy during the "free-look" period, you may receive
back less than the Premium.  Generally, we transfer the Account Value in the AST
Money Market  Sub-account to the variable  investment  options you request as of
the Valuation Date which is on or immediately  after the 15th day after the date
we issue a Policy. However, we will make the transfer as of a later date if your
"free-look" period is longer than 10 days to meet state law requirements.

[41]  What  happens  if I  change  my mind  about  buying a  Policy?  You have a
"free-look"  period during which you can change your mind about buying a Policy.
The  free-look  period is never less than 10 days from the date you receive your
Policy.  It may be  longer  depending  on  the  applicable  state  law  and  the
circumstances  of your  purchase.  If you  return  your  Policy to us within the
free-look  period,  we generally will return the greater of (1) or (2) where (1)
is the Premium  paid;  and (2) is your Account  Value plus any charges  deducted
from your Account Value.  However,  if you have submitted a "return  waiver," we
will return only your Account Value plus any charges  deducted from your Account
Value. This may be more or less than Premium paid.

                           VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS

   
[42] What are the investment  objectives and policies of the variable investment
options?  What charges are made by the Portfolios in which these options invest?
Each variable  investment option is a Sub-account of the Separate Account.  Each
Sub-account invests exclusively in an underlying mutual fund or one portfolio of
an underlying mutual fund.  Details about the investment  objectives,  policies,
risks,  costs and management of the Portfolios are found in the prospectuses for
the underlying  mutual funds. You should carefully read the prospectuses for any
Portfolio  in which you are  interested.  To  assist  you in  determining  which
Portfolios  may be of  interest  to you,  we have  provided  below a list of the
Portfolios,  their  investment  objectives  (in  italics)  and a short,  summary
description of their key policies. Next to each Portfolio's investment objective
and policies is the investment  management  fee, other  expenses,  and the total
annual  expense for such  Portfolio.  The total annual expense is the sum of the
investment  management  fee and  other  expenses.  Each  figure  is  stated as a
percentage of the  Portfolio's  average daily net assets.  Except as noted,  all
expenses shown are after any applicable  reimbursement  or waiver of fees. These
percentages  are fees for the calendar year that ended December 31, 1998.  Those
Portfolios below that are marked with an asterisk (*) have not been in operation
for a full year. Therefore, the expenses shown are estimated and annualized. The
underlying  mutual fund  portfolio  information  was provided by the  underlying
mutual funds and has not been independently verified by the Company.

  INTERNATIONAL     conditions,  the Portfolio  will   invest at least 65% of its assets in
    EQUITY          equity securities of issuers from at least three countries outside of

                    factors in    making  investment  selections,  including the  prospects  
                    for relative  economic growth among countries or regions, economic and 
                    political  conditions,  expected inflation rates, currency exchange

                        TRANSFERS AND ALLOCATION SERVICES

[43] May I transfer Account Value between investment  options?  You may transfer
Account  Value  between  investment  options,  but there are limits,  as well as
potential  charges,  which are discussed  above in the question "How much is the
transfer  fee,  and when must I pay it?" We  permit  the agent of record to make
transfers on your behalf unless you give us other instructions.

   
[44] Are there any limits on  transfers?  No transfers  are  permitted  when the
Policy  is in its  "grace  period."  In order to  maintain  Account  Value in an
investment option after transferring a portion of your Account Value out of that
investment  option,  we  reserve  the right to  require  that  there be at least
$500.00 in such  investment  option after the  transfer.  If, as a result of the
transfer,  there would be less than $500.00 in an investment  option, we reserve
the right to transfer the  remaining  Account  Value pro rata to the  investment
option(s) that you were  transferring  to. We retain the right to impose a limit
of not more than 12 transfers  per Policy Year,  including  transfers  involving
Fixed  Allocations.  Unless such a limit is in effect,  there is no limit on the
number of transfers that only involve variable investment options, or the number
of  transfers  from  variable  investment  options  to make  Fixed  Allocations.
However,  we do  limit  each  transfer  from  Fixed  Allocations  that are to be
effective  on any day other than a Policy  Anniversary  to the greater of 25% of
the  Account  Value in your  Fixed  Allocations  or  $1,000.  If you make such a
transfer  from your Fixed  Allocations,  you cannot make another  such  transfer
until either 90 days has passed or the next Policy  Anniversary  occurs. We also
retain the right to refuse or limit  transfers,  either for one Owner or a group
of Owners, if we believe there may be adverse consequences for other Owners.
    

[45] What are  `allocation  services'?  Allocation  services are  programs  that
automatically transfer Account Value between investment options. We may waive or
reduce the minimum  amounts  required for transfers noted above when your Policy
is participating in certain allocation programs,  including, but not limited to,
static rebalancing  programs.  However,  any limitations on transfers from Fixed
Allocations also apply if any allocation services are being utilized.

[46] What allocation  services does American Skandia provide?  We support dollar
cost  averaging  and static  rebalancing.  Dollar cost  averaging  allows you to
systematically transfer an amount periodically from one investment option to one
or more other investment options. With static rebalancing, you choose allocation
percentages for the Sub-accounts into which you allocate Account Value. However,
over time the  performance  of the  variable  investment  options  will  differ,
causing your percentage allocations to shift. Periodically,  we will "rebalance"
your allocations by transferring the appropriate  amount from the "overweighted"
Sub-accounts to the  "underweighted"  Sub-accounts to return your allocations to
the percentages you request.

                                      LOANS

   
[47] When can I take a loan? We offer loans using  Account Value as  collateral.
We do not make loans available during the first Policy Year.  Starting after the
first Policy Year, we allow one loan each Policy Year. The Insured must be alive
when you take a loan (if there are two Insureds, at least one must be alive when
a loan is taken).  Subject to our rules,  on the Issue Date, we will establish a
loan equal to the outstanding  indebtedness on previous life insurance exchanged
for a Policy.
    

[48] Is this  type of loan  tax-free?  A loan from this  Policy is  treated  for
income tax purposes as a distribution, similar to a partial withdrawal, in that:
(a)  amounts  are  deemed  to  come  first  from  any  gain in the  Policy;  (b)
distributions of gain are subject to income tax as ordinary  income;  and (c) if
the  distribution  occurs  before  the  taxpayer's  age 59 1/2,  there may be an
additional 10% tax on any gain distributed.

   
[49] How much is available for a loan? The maximum amount available as a loan is
equal to 90% of your current  Account  Value,  minus any  applicable  contingent
deferred sales charge and contingent deferred tax charge. The minimum amount you
may borrow is $500.

[50] What happens to the Account  Value if I take a loan?  When you take a loan,
we transfer Account Value equal to the amount of the loan into the Loan Account.
Account Value in the Loan Account is maintained in our general  account.  Unless
you give us  different  instructions,  we move  Account  Value from the variable
investment  options and the Fixed  Allocations  in the same  proportion  as your
Account  Value in the  investment  options  on the  Valuation  Date we move such
Account Value.

The impact of a loan on your Account  Value may be positive or negative.  At the
time a loan is taken, there is no impact. However, if the interest rate credited
to Account Value in the Loan Account is greater than what would be earned in the
investment  options,  the loan will have a positive impact on your Account Value
and on the Required  Death  Benefit.  If the interest  rate  credited to Account
Value in the Loan  Account is less than what  would be earned in the  investment
options,  the loan will have a negative  impact on your Account Value and on the
Required Death Benefit.
    

[51] What is the interest  rate charged on any loan?  You owe us interest on any
loan at the rate of 6.0% per year,  compounded  yearly, in arrears.  Each Policy
Anniversary  that the loan is not repaid,  we add an amount  equal to any unpaid
interest to your Debt.

[52] Does Account Value in the Loan Account earn interest? We credit interest to
Account Value in the Loan Account.  The amount we credit  depends on whether the
loan is a "preferred" or "standard"  loan,  which are described below. The rates
we credit are as follows:

|X|  Preferred Loans: we currently credit interest at the rate of 6.0% per year,
     compounded yearly, to the Account Value maintained in the Loan Account that
     serves as collateral for a "preferred loan."
|X|  Standard Loans: we currently  credit interest at the rate of 4.0% per year,
     compounded yearly, to the Account Value maintained in the Loan Account that
     serves as collateral for a "standard loan."

[53] What are a  "preferred  loan" and a  "standard  loan"?  We  determine  what
portion of a loan is a "preferred loan" and what portion is a "standard loan" at
the time you take the loan.  Whether a loan is "preferred" or "standard" depends
on the source of the  collateral  to support the loan.  We consider  the Account
Value moved to the Loan  Account to come first from  Growth.  The portion of any
outstanding  loans  supported by Account Value drawn from Growth is treated as a
preferred loan. The portion of any outstanding  loans supported by Account Value
drawn from other than Growth is treated as a standard  loan.  A loan retains its
character as "preferred" or "standard" until repaid.

   
[54] Once a loan is taken,  does American Skandia ever require more `collateral'
in the Loan Account?  The Loan Account acts as collateral for any loans from us.
We monitor  the Debt and the  Account  Value in the Loan  Account to assure that
they are equal to each other.  Therefore, on each Policy Anniversary we equalize
the Debt and the Account Value in the Loan Account. If the Debt is larger due to
outstanding  loan  interest,  we transfer  Account Value equal to the difference
pro-rata from the investment options and add it to the Loan Account.
    

We also match up the Debt and the Loan Account when you repay any portion of the
Debt.  If the  Account  Value in the Loan  Account  then  exceeds  the Debt,  we
transfer the excess  pro-rata to the investment  options which you are utilizing
at that time. Any amount then allocated to the fixed option will be treated as a
separate Fixed Allocation.

[55] When must I repay the loan?  You are not  required  to repay the loan while
the  Insured is alive,  except when an amount is due to keep the Policy in force
or upon reinstatement.

[55] What happens at the Insured's death if I have not repaid the loan? If there
is any  outstanding  Debt when Death Proceeds are due, we subtract the Debt from
the Death Benefit as part of the calculation of the Death Proceeds.

   
[56] What  happens  if I repay any  portion  of the loan?  The amount of Debt is
reduced by the amount of any loan repayment.  Any standard loan is repaid before
any  preferred  loan.  Loan  repayments  reduce the amount of principal and loan
interest  proportionately based on the ratio between principal and loan interest
as of the  Valuation  Date the loan  repayment is applied.  We allocate any loan
repayment to the variable  investment  and fixed options  pro-rata  based on the
Account Value in each  investment  option as of the Valuation  Period we receive
your loan  repayment.  Any amount  then  allocated  to the fixed  option will be
treated as a separate Fixed Allocation.
    

                               PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

[57] When can I make a partial  withdrawal?  We allow partial  withdrawals while
the Insured is alive,  except that,  where  permitted by law, you may not take a
partial withdrawal until after the end of the "free-look" period.

[58]  How  much is  available  as a  partial  withdrawal?  The  maximum  partial
withdrawal available at any time equals the then current maximum amount we would
permit as a loan under your Policy.  This amount is equal to 90% of your current
Account  Value  less  any  applicable   contingent  deferred  sales  charge  and
contingent  deferred tax charge.  The minimum amount of a partial  withdrawal is
$500.00.

[59] What happens to the Account Value if I take a partial withdrawal?  When you
take a partial  withdrawal,  we reduce your Account  Value by an amount equal to
the amount of the partial withdrawal. Unless you give us different instructions,
we take  Account  Value  from the  variable  investment  options  and the  Fixed
Allocations  in the same  proportion  as your  Account  Value in the  investment
options on the Valuation Date we take such Account  Value.  If you have multiple
Fixed  Allocations,  amounts  are taken on a "last in,  first  out"  basis.  Any
Account Value in the Loan Account is not available for a partial withdrawal.

[60] Is there a charge  for a  partial  withdrawal?  We  charge  any  applicable
contingent  deferred  sales  charge and  contingent  deferred  tax charge on the
portion of any partial  withdrawal that is not treated as a "free withdrawal" or
for which we waive such charges under the medically-related waiver provision. We
take these charges  pro-rata from the investment  options from which we take the
Account Value as a result of the partial withdrawal.

[61] What amount can I take as a free withdrawal? In any Policy Year the maximum
amount you can take as a free  withdrawal is the greater of Growth or 10% of the
Premium. The following examples may help show what this means. For each example,
assume that the Premium was $50,000.

         (a) For this example  assume the Account  Value as of the Valuation Day
we process your partial withdrawal is $60,000.  You request a partial withdrawal
of  $25,000.  Assume  also  that  you  have  not  requested  any  other  partial
withdrawals  during this Policy Year. The free withdrawal  amount is the greater
of  Growth,  which is the  current  Account  Value  ($60,000)  less the  Premium
($50,000),  or $10,000, and 10% of the Premium, which is $5,000.  Therefore,  we
treat  $10,000  as the  free  withdrawal  portion  of this  partial  withdrawal.
Assuming  that this partial  withdrawal  request  occurs  during the  "surrender
charge period," and there is no subsequent  Growth in that Policy Year, we would
assess the then  applicable  contingent  deferred  sales  charge and  contingent
deferred tax charge on $15,000,  which is the portion of the partial  withdrawal
that exceeds the free withdrawal  amount.  The contingent  deferred sales charge
and  contingent  deferred  tax  charge  would  apply to the full  amount  of any
subsequent  partial  withdrawal you request during the same Policy Year that was
not eligible for a medically-related waiver.

         (b) For this example  assume the Account  Value as of the Valuation Day
we process your partial  withdrawal  request for the  "maximum  free  withdrawal
amount" is $47,000.  Assume also that you have not  requested  any other partial
withdrawals  during this Policy Year. The free withdrawal  amount is the greater
of  Growth,  which is the  current  Account  Value  ($47,000)  less the  Premium
($50,000),  or $3,000, and 10% of the Premium, which is $5,000.  Therefore,  the
maximum free withdrawal amount is $5,000.  Assuming that this partial withdrawal
request occurs during the "surrender  charge period," and there is no subsequent
Growth in that  Policy  Year,  the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  and the
contingent  deferred  tax charge  would  apply to any  subsequent  surrender  or
partial   withdrawal   that   Policy   Year   that  was  not   eligible   for  a
medically-related waiver.

[62] Does a partial  withdrawal affect the Death Benefit?  A partial  withdrawal
reduces the  Required  Death  Benefit.  The  Required  Death  Benefit is reduced
because the Account  Value,  which is used in  calculating  the  Required  Death
Benefit,  has been reduced. It also reduces the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
in  the  same  proportion  as the  Account  Value  is  reduced  by  the  partial
withdrawal.  The effect on the  Guaranteed  Minimum  Death  Benefit is described
above  in  response  to the  question  "What  is the  Guaranteed  Minimum  Death
Benefit."

[63]     Can I put back funds taken as a partial withdrawal?  No.

                                   SURRENDERS

[64] When can I surrender my Policy? You can surrender your Policy after the end
of the free-look period as long as the Insured is alive.

[65] What is paid out when a Policy is surrendered? If you surrender the Policy,
we will pay you the Cash Value.

                            ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT

[66] What is an  accelerated  death  benefit?  An  accelerated  death benefit is
pre-payment to the Owner of a portion of the Death Proceeds. The maximum we will
pay, before any  reductions,  is the lesser of 50% of the Required Death Benefit
or $250,000.  The actual amount is reduced by a 12-month  interest rate discount
(currently  6.0%) and a pro-rata  portion of any Debt.  We reserve  the right to
change the interest rate discount percentage.

   
[67] When will American Skandia make such a payment? We will make such a payment
one time,  where allowed by law, based on the Owner's  request.  The Insured may
not request  such a payment  unless the Insured is also the Owner.  We only make
the payment if we receive all our requirements.  Our requirements  include,  but
are not limited to,  proof  satisfactory  to us In Writing that the Insured (the
last  surviving  Insured if there are two Insureds)  became  terminally  ill, as
defined in your Policy:  (a) at least 30 days after the Issue Date;  or (b) as a
result  of an  accident  that  occurred  after  the Issue  Date.  To the  extent
permitted by law, we will change our  procedures  in relation to this benefit or
the  definition  of  terminally  ill or any  other  applicable  term in order to
maintain the tax-free status of any amounts paid out under this provision.
    

[68] What happens to the  remaining  benefits if American  Skandia  makes such a
payment? Any such payment reduces the Account Value, the Premium, the Guaranteed
Minimum  Death  Benefit  and any Debt in the same  ratio as the  Required  Death
Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Period such a payment is made. You should
consult a tax advisor on the tax consequences of such a payment. Please refer to
Appendix B for a  hypothetical  illustration  of the  accelerated  death benefit
provision.

                            MEDICALLY-RELATED WAIVER

   
[69] What is a medically-related  waiver? A medically-related waiver is a waiver
of the contingent  deferred sales charge and the contingent  deferred tax charge
that would otherwise apply to a partial withdrawal or surrender. Note that while
the accelerated death benefit is payable to the Insured,  the  medically-related
waiver is a benefit,  while based on the Insured's life, that is of value to the
Owner, who normally is the recipient of amounts paid as a partial  withdrawal or
surrender.  A  medically-related  waiver  is  available  by rider to the  Policy
currently with no charge to you.

[70]  When  would  American  Skandia  waive  these  charges?  We will  waive the
contingent  deferred  sales charge and  contingent  deferred  tax charge,  where
allowed by law, if you provide us with all of our requirements. Our requirements
include,  but are not limited to proof  satisfactory  to us In Writing  that the
Insured  (the last  surviving  Insured  if there is more than one  Insured)  has
continuously been confined to a long term care facility,  such as a nursing home
or a hospital,  as defined in the rider, and that such confinement started after
the Issue Date.

[71] Are there  any  restrictions  on  medically-related  waivers?  We will only
consider providing this benefit on amounts up to $500,000.  The $500,000 maximum
will apply  regardless of when taken,  on any life  insurance  policy or annuity
contract issued by American Skandia where the Insured under this Policy is named
as the Insured, Owner or Annuitant under the other policy or contract.
    

[72] What happens to the  remaining  benefits if American  Skandia  makes such a
payment in connection with a partial withdrawal?  A partial withdrawal for which
we  grant a  medically-related  waiver  has the  same  impact  on the  remaining
benefits that results from any other partial withdrawal. We simply do not deduct
the contingent  deferred  sales charge and  contingent  deferred tax charge that
otherwise would apply.

                                      RISKS

   
[73] What are the risks, and who takes the risks? We bear the risk that, for all
the  Policies  we issue,  when  considered  together,  our  expenses  exceed our
charges,  including the expense of providing the difference at death between the
Account  Value  and  the  Death  Benefit.   We  also  bear  the  investment  and
reinvestment  risk  in  providing   interest   crediting   guarantees  to  Fixed
Allocations and to the Loan Account,  as well as for any settlement options that
assume  a fixed  rate of  return.  We also  bear the  risk in  guaranteeing  the
Guaranteed  Minimum  Death Benefit if your Policy lapses and you do not have any
Debt. You bear the investment risk when allocating Account Value to any variable
investment  option,  since that will affect the amount  available for any loans,
partial withdrawals or surrender.  Any irrevocable beneficiary bears the risk as
to the Death  Proceeds,  which are  affected by  investment  performance  of the
investment  options,  the age at which the Insured dies,  any loan or withdrawal
activity by the Owner prior to the Insured's  death or payment of an accelerated
death benefit.
    

                                  OTHER RIGHTS

   
[74] Do I have any  other  rights if I buy a Policy?  There  are  certain  other
ownership  rights  you may  exercise  under a  Policy.  You may name one or more
Beneficiaries.  You may make  that  designation  "irrevocable,"  which  means it
cannot be changed.  If you do not designate the Beneficiary as irrevocable,  you
retain the right to change the Beneficiary before the Insured dies. However, all
Beneficiary designations are subject to our acceptance,  to the extent permitted
by law. You also may transfer, pledge or assign your Policy, which may trigger a
currently taxable event. You should only transfer,  pledge or assign your Policy
after consulting with a competent tax advisor. You may exercise voting rights in
relation  to the  applicable  Portfolios.  Some of these  rights  may be limited
depending on the usage of your Policy,  especially if we permit it to be held in
connection with certain  retirement plans designed to be "qualified" plans under
the Code.
    

                              THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

[75] What supports American  Skandia's  obligation to me if I buy a Policy?  The
benefits  provided by the Policy are our obligations.  The assets supporting our
obligations  equaling the Account  Value  allocated  to the variable  investment
options are held in our  Separate  Account F. We maintain  assets in our general
account to support our obligations:  (1) equal to the Account Value allocated to
the fixed option;  (2) equal to the Account  Value in the Loan Account;  (3) for
the portion of the Death Proceeds  greater than the Account  Value;  (4) for any
settlement option; and (5) for any other obligation we may have in relation to a
Policy.

The Separate  Account was established  under the laws of Connecticut.  Assets in
the Separate Account may support obligations created in relation to the Policies
described in this  Prospectus or other policies we offer. We are the legal owner
of the assets in the Separate Account.  Income, gains and losses, whether or not
realized, are credited or charged to the Separate Account according to the terms
of the Policies and any other  policies  supported by the assets in the Separate
Account  without  regard to our other income,  gains or losses or to the income,
gains or losses in any other of our separate  accounts.  We will maintain assets
in the Separate Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserves
and  other  liabilities  we must  maintain  in  relation  to the life  insurance
policies  supported  by such  assets.  These  assets  may only be  charged  with
liabilities that arise from such life insurance policies.

   
Separate  Account  F  is  registered  with  the  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  (the  "SEC")  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 as a unit
investment trust, which is a type of investment  company.  This does not involve
any supervision by the SEC of the investment  policies,  management or practices
of the Separate  Account or of us. The Separate  Account meets the definition of
"separate account" under the federal securities law.
    

The only  Sub-accounts  available to you are those  offered in this  Prospectus.
These  Sub-accounts  are available as investment  options for other  policies we
offer.  Sub-accounts are permitted to invest in Portfolios we consider suitable.
The Portfolios in which the Sub-accounts invest are available to Sub-accounts of
other separate  accounts,  including  separate  accounts we use in relation to a
number of variable annuities. Separate accounts of other insurers and of various
qualified retirement plans may also invest in the Portfolios.

                                      TAXES

[76] What are the taxes connected to the Policy?  Federal and state tax laws, as
well as the  interpretations of those laws, change. In addition,  we do not know
your  particular  circumstances,  which is one of a number of  reasons we cannot
give you tax  advice.  You should  consult a  professional  tax  advisor for tax
advice  for  your  particular  situation.  You  should  also be sure to read the
"Additional Tax  Considerations"  section  appearing  later in this  Prospectus,
which includes,  but is not limited to,  information  regarding  estate and gift
taxes.  What we do provide  are some  brief  summary  answers  to the  following
questions about Federal income taxes.

[77] Is gain in the Policy taxed every year? Under most circumstances,  any gain
in the  Policy is not taxed  currently.  However,  if you  assign or pledge  the
Policy,  we expect to report any gain in the Policy as then currently taxable as
ordinary income. In addition,  except in the case of a partial  assignment as of
the Policy Date, we expect to report gain in the Policy as currently  taxable in
each tax year the assignment remains in effect.

[78] How are amounts that I receive  before the Insured's  death taxed?  Amounts
you receive as a partial  withdrawal,  a loan or if you surrender the Policy are
deemed for income tax  purposes to come first from any gain in the  Policy.  Any
gain is taxed as ordinary  income.  Any portion of these types of  distributions
representing  gain in the Policy  may be  subject to a 10% tax  penalty if taken
before your age 59 1/2.

[79]  Will  my  Beneficiary  pay  taxes  on  the  Death  Proceeds?   Under  most
circumstances,  the  Beneficiary  does  not  pay  any  income  tax on the  Death
Proceeds.

                 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS AND ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The following sections provide additional information you should consider before
purchasing a Policy.

                            PROVIDING SERVICES TO YOU

You can reach us by telephone at  1-888-554-3348 or through our Internet Website
at  http://www.americanskandia.com.  We may  require  that you  provide  us with
proper  identification before we release information about your Policy or accept
instructions  received over the phone,  the Internet or via any other electronic
means.   We  may  require  that  you  provide   your  Social   Security  or  tax
identification  number.  We  also  may  require  you  to  present  the  personal
identification  number  ("PIN") we provide  you after we issue a Policy.  To the
extent permitted by law or regulation,  neither we nor any person  authorized by
us will be responsible for any claim,  loss,  liability or expense in connection
with a transaction,  including but not limited to a transfer between  investment
options,  over the  phone,  the  Internet  or via any  other  electronic  means.
However,  this will only be the case if we or such authorized  person acted: (a)
in  good  faith  reliance  that  you  authorized  the  transaction;  and  (b) on
reasonable  procedures  to  identify  you or your  designee  though a number  of
verification  methods.  These methods may include recording phone conversations,
requesting  Social  Security or tax  identification  numbers,  PINs,  confirming
electronic mail addresses,  or similar means. We may be liable for losses due to
unauthorized  or fraudulent  instructions  should we not follow such  reasonable
procedures.

We may require  that you submit  forms In Writing for certain  transactions.  We
require the written consent of all joint Owners for any transaction for which we
require the Owner's written consent.

                                  DESIGNATIONS

Certain  designations  apply  to a  Policy  - the  Owner,  the  Insured  and the
Beneficiary.  All designations  are subject to our rules and our acceptance.  We
assume all designations,  other than the Insured,  are revocable unless you tell
us otherwise. You should consult with a competent tax advisor on the income tax,
estate and inheritance tax implications of various designations. You should also
consult  with a  competent  legal  advisor  as to the  implications  of  certain
designations in relation to an estate,  bankruptcy and community property, where
applicable, as well as other matters.

   
We assume the Insured(s)  is/are the Owner(s)  unless you tell us otherwise.  If
you name more than one  Owner,  all rights  reserved  to Owners are then held as
joint  tenants  with  rights of  survivorship  unless  you  provide  alternative
instructions. Naming someone to be the Owner other than the payor of the Premium
may have gift, estate or other tax implications.
    

We assume the  Beneficiary  is you or your estate  unless you tell us otherwise.
You may name more than one primary and more than one contingent Beneficiary.

                              NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

For each Sub-account the initial Unit Price was $10.00.  The Unit Price for each
subsequent  Valuation  Period is the net  investment  factor for that  Valuation
Period,  multiplied by the Unit Price for the  immediately  preceding  Valuation
Period. The net investment factor is (1) divided by (2), less (3), where:

(1)      is the net result of:

(a)                        the net  asset  value  per  share  of the  underlying
                           Portfolio at the end of the current  Valuation Period
                           plus the per share  amount of any dividend or capital
                           gain  distribution  declared and unpaid  (accrued) by
                           the Portfolio; plus or minus

(b)                        any per share charge or credit  during the  Valuation
                           Period as a provision for taxes  attributable  to the
                           operation or maintenance of that Sub-account.

(2)      is the net result of:

(a)                        the net  asset  value  per  share  of the  underlying
                           Portfolio  at  the  end of  the  preceding  Valuation
                           Period plus the per share  amount of any  dividend or
                           capital   gain   distribution   declared  and  unpaid
                           (accrued) by the Portfolio; plus or minus

(b)                        any per share charge or credit  during the  preceding
                           Valuation   Period   as   a   provision   for   taxes
                           attributable  to the operation or  maintenance of the
                           Sub-account.

(3) is the mortality and expense risk charges and the administration charge.

                               ALLOCATION PROGRAMS

We may provide  administrative  support for various programs that  automatically
transfer  Account Value between certain  investment  options at scheduled times.
These include dollar cost averaging and static rebalancing (periodic rebalancing
of Account Values between investment options to conform to preset  percentages).
However,  we only offer to support  such  allocation  programs  according to our
rules.  While we are offering to support  these  programs as of the date of this
Prospectus, we do not guarantee to support these programs at all times.

We may also provide  administrative support for various allocation programs that
may be made available by your financial professional.  These may include various
asset allocation and market timing  programs.  In connection with such programs,
we may  support  periodic  withdrawals  from your  Policy to pay your  financial
professional.  We only offer to support  such  programs  according to our rules.
These rules may include,  but are not limited to, receipt of your  authorization
In  Writing  permitting  a  financial  professional  to make  transfers  between
investment  options  on your  behalf,  or to  enroll  your  Policy in one of the
allocation programs for which we provide  administrative  support. We permit the
agent of  record  to make  transfers  on your  behalf  unless  you give us other
instructions.

   
Any  financial  professional  you authorize may or may not be appointed by us as
our agent  for the sale of  Policies.  However,  we do not  engage  any agent of
record or any third parties to offer investment allocation services of any type,
so that  persons or firms  offering  such  services do so  independent  from any
agency relationship they may have with us for the sale of Policies. We therefore
take no responsibility for the investment  allocations and transfers  transacted
on your behalf by such third parties, in accordance with any allocation programs
employed by such third parties or any investment allocation recommendations made
by such third parties.  While we offer support for a number of these programs as
of the date of this  Prospectus,  we do not support all such programs and do not
guarantee to always continue support for those programs we currently  support or
may support in the future. We do not charge you for the  administrative  support
we provide to these third parties.
    

                            LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS

   
We  retain  the right to refuse  transfers,  either  for one Owner or a group of
Owners, if we believe that: (a) excessive trading or a specific transfer request
or group of transfer  requests may have a  detrimental  effect on Unit Prices or
the share prices of the Portfolios; or (b) we are informed by one or more of the
Portfolios that the purchase or redemption of shares is to be restricted because
of excessive  trading or a specific  transfer or group of transfers is deemed to
have a detrimental  effect on the share prices of affected  Portfolios.  Without
limiting  the above,  the most likely  scenario  where either of the above could
occur  would be if the  aggregate  amount  of a trade or  trades  represented  a
relatively large proportion of the total assets of a particular Portfolio. Under
such a circumstance,  we will process  transfers  according to our rules then in
effect and provide  notice if your  transfer  request was denied.  If a transfer
request is denied, a new transfer request may be required.
    

                          DEATH DURING THE GRACE PERIOD

We deduct the unpaid charges from the Death Benefit when  calculating  the Death
Proceeds, if the Insured dies during a grace period. For more information on the
grace  period,  please  refer  to the  response  to the  question  "Do I have to
maintain a minimum Cash Value?"

                                  REINSTATEMENT

You may apply for reinstatement of the Policy if it lapses. We must receive this
application  In  Writing  at our  Office  within 3 years  of the date the  lapse
occurred as measured from the end of the grace period.  We may require  evidence
of insurability  satisfactory to us. In order to reinstate your Policy, you also
must pay us a  reinstatement  amount,  including any applicable  charges and any
Debt.

                                    MATURITY

A Policy "matures" as of the Policy  Anniversary on which the Insured is Age 95.
If there are two Insureds,  a Policy  "matures" as of the Policy  Anniversary on
which the  younger  Insured is Age 95 or would  have been Age 95 if the  younger
Insured  is then  deceased.  We will pay out the  Cash  Value  once  the  Policy
matures.  The Policy  will then end,  and we will not have any more  obligations
under the Policy.  We may provide a rider,  where  permitted by law, that allows
the Policy to mature at a later date if there is adequate guidance  available to
us regarding the tax treatment of all Policies if we were to permit extension of
the maturity date.  Should we permit such  extension of the maturity,  we advise
you to seek tax advice regarding your specific circumstances should you want the
Policy to mature at a later  date.  If the  Policy is no longer  treated as life
insurance after any extension of maturity,  gain in the Policy may be taxable to
you in the year of the  original  maturity  and all or a  portion  of the  Death
Proceeds may be taxable to the beneficiary.

                              PRICING TRANSACTIONS

We "price" charges, transfers,  distributions and payments on the date indicated
below.  If such  transactions  are  scheduled to occur on other than a Valuation
Day, we price such transactions as of the following Valuation Period:

   
|X|  "Scheduled"   transactions  such  as  monthly  deductions,   transfers  and
     distributions are "priced"  according to the Unit Price next computed after
     the  date  such  transactions  are  scheduled  to  occur.   However,  if  a
     transaction  is  "scheduled"  to occur on a day other than a Valuation Day,
     such  transaction  will be processed  and priced on the next  Valuation Day
     following the scheduled transaction.  "Scheduled" transactions include, but
     are not  limited to, all charges  deducted  on a Monthly  Processing  Date,
     equalization  of Debt and the Account Value in the Loan Account on a Policy
     Anniversary,  transfers under a dollar cost averaging  program or transfers
     previously  scheduled  with us at our  Office  as part of any  rebalancing,
     asset  allocation  or  similar   program,   or  any  program  of  scheduled
     distributions.

|X|  "Unscheduled"  transactions such as transfers, loans or partial withdrawals
     that are not subject to any medical  waiver are  "priced"  according to the
     Unit Price next computed after we receive the request for such transactions
     at our Office.  "Unscheduled"  transfers include any transfers processed in
     conjunction  with any market timing  program,  or transfers not  previously
     scheduled  with  us at  our  Office  pursuant  to  any  rebalancing,  asset
     allocation  or  similar  program  which you employ or you  authorize  to be
     employed on your behalf.  "Unscheduled"  transfers  received pursuant to an
     authorization  to  accept  transfer   instructions   using  voice  or  data
     transmission  over the  phone  are  priced  as of the  Valuation  Period we
     receive  the  request  at  our  Office  for  such  transactions.  We  price
     unscheduled  payments  sent to us as of the date we receive such amounts at
     our Office.  These  include loan  repayments,  payments to keep a Policy in
     effect during a grace period or a reinstatement payment.
    

|X|  We price surrenders,  withdrawals subject to a medical waiver,  accelerated
     death  benefit  payments  and  payment of Death  Proceeds as of the date we
     receive at our Office all  materials we require for such  transactions  and
     such materials are satisfactory to us.

                              DELAYING TRANSACTIONS

We may defer any distribution or transfer from a Fixed Allocation or any payment
under a fixed settlement option for a period not to exceed the lesser of six (6)
months or the period  permitted by law. If we defer a  distribution  or transfer
from any Fixed Allocation or any payment under a settlement option for more than
thirty days, or less where  required by law, we pay interest at the minimum rate
required  by law but not less than 3% per year on the  amount  deferred.  We may
defer  payment of  proceeds  of any  distribution  from any  Sub-account  or any
transfer from a  Sub-account  for a period not to exceed seven (7) calendar days
from the date the transaction is effected.  This is a delay in payment only, and
is not a delay in the pricing of any such distribution or transfer. Any deferral
period begins on the date such  distribution  or transfer  would  otherwise have
been transacted.

All  procedures,  including  distributions,   based  on  the  valuation  of  the
Sub-accounts may be postponed during the period: (1) the New York Stock Exchange
is closed (other than customary holidays or weekends) or trading on the New York
Stock  Exchange is  restricted  as  determined  by the SEC;  (2) the SEC permits
postponement  and so orders;  or (3) the SEC determines that an emergency exists
making valuation or disposal of securities not reasonably practical.

                                     VOTING

You  have  voting  rights  in  relation  to  Account  Value  maintained  in  the
Sub-accounts.  You do not have  voting  rights  in  relation  to  Account  Value
maintained in any Fixed Allocations, in the Loan Account or in relation to fixed
payments under a settlement option.

We will vote shares of the  Portfolios in which the  Sub-accounts  invest in the
manner directed by Owners, unless we, in our sole discretion,  determine that we
are required by law or regulation to vote  otherwise.  Owners have voting rights
equal to the number of shares  represented by the Sub-account Units attributable
to their Policy.

We will vote the shares  attributable to assets held in the Sub-accounts  solely
for us rather  than on behalf  of  Owners,  or any share as to which we have not
received instructions, in the same manner and proportion as the shares for which
we have received  instructions.  We will do so separately  for each  Sub-account
from  various  classes  that may  invest  in the  same  underlying  mutual  fund
portfolio.

The number of votes for a Portfolio will be determined as of the record date for
such  Portfolio  as chosen by its board of  trustees or board of  directors,  as
applicable.  We will furnish Owners with proper forms and proxies to enable them
to instruct us how to vote.

You may  instruct us how to vote on the  following  matters:  (a) changes to the
board of  trustees  or board of  directors,  as  applicable;  (b)  changing  the
independent  accountant;  (c)  approval  of changes to the  investment  advisory
agreement or adoption of a new investment advisory agreement;  (d) any change in
the fundamental  investment policy; and (e) any other matter requiring a vote of
the shareholders.

With  respect  to  approval  of changes to the  investment  advisory  agreement,
approval of a new  investment  advisory  agreement or any change in  fundamental
investment policy,  only Owners maintaining  Account Value as of the record date
in a Sub-account  investing in the applicable  Portfolio will instruct us how to
vote on the  matter,  pursuant  to the  requirements  of Rule  18f-2  under  the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

                         TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENTS, PLEDGES

Generally,  your rights in a Policy may be  transferred,  assigned or pledged at
any time. These  transactions may be subject to income taxes and certain penalty
taxes.  You may transfer,  assign or pledge your rights to another person at any
time,  prior to the death upon  which the Death  Benefit  is  payable.  You must
request a transfer or provide us a copy of the assignment In Writing. A transfer
or assignment is subject to our acceptance.  We will not be deemed to know of or
be obligated under any assignment  prior to our receipt and acceptance  thereof.
We assume no responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of any assignment.

                                     REPORTS

   
We send any statements  and reports  required by applicable law or regulation to
you at your last known address of record.  You should  therefore  give us prompt
notice of any address change.  We reserve the right, to the extent  permitted by
law  and  subject  to  your  consent,  to  provide  any  prospectus,  prospectus
supplements, confirmations, statements and reports required by applicable law or
regulation to you through our Internet Website at http://www.americanskandia.com
or any other electronic means. We send a confirmation statement to you each time
an unscheduled  transaction is made affecting  Account Value.  Such transactions
will  generally  include  changes in investment  allocation  or transfers  among
investment   options,   loans  and  loan  repayments,   partial   surrenders  or
withdrawals,  and any charges associated with such unscheduled transactions.  We
also send  quarterly  statements  detailing the activity  affecting  your Policy
during the prior quarter,  including all scheduled and unscheduled transactions.
To the extent permitted by law, some types of scheduled  transactions  will only
be confirmed on a quarterly  basis.  Such  transactions  will generally  include
those  pre-authorized  charges deducted on the Monthly  Processing Date. You may
request  additional  reports.  We reserve the right to charge up to $50 for each
such additional  report.  You should review the information in these  statements
carefully.  You must  report  all  errors  or  corrections  to us at our  Office
immediately to assure proper crediting to your Policy. For transactions that are
confirmed immediately, we assume all transactions are accurate unless you notify
us otherwise within 10 days after the date of the transaction.  For transactions
that are only confirmed on the quarterly  statement,  we assume all transactions
are  accurate  unless  you  notify us within 10 days of the end of the  calendar
quarter.  We may also  send you or make  available  electronically  through  our
Internet Website an annual report and a semi-annual report containing  financial
statements  for the  applicable  Sub-accounts,  as of  December  31 and June 30,
respectively.
    

                                INCONTESTABILITY

We may not contest the validity of a Policy  after it has been in effect  during
the  Insured's  lifetime  for two years  from the Issue  Date.  If there are two
Insureds,  this  applies to the  lifetime  of either  Insured.  If the Policy is
reinstated, to the extent permitted by law, we may not contest the validity of a
Policy  after  it has  been  in  effect  for  two  years  from  the  date of the
reinstatement.

                                     SUICIDE

If an Insured  commits  suicide  within two years of the Issue Date (or whatever
maximum period is permitted under law) or the date of a reinstatement if allowed
by law,  the Death  Benefit  will be the greater  of: (a) Premium  paid less any
outstanding Debt and any partial  withdrawals;  or (b) the Cash Value. All other
requirements as to calculation and payment of Death Proceeds will apply.

                                  MISSTATEMENT

We will  adjust the amount of the Death  Proceeds to conform to the facts if the
age or gender of an Insured is incorrectly stated. We will do so as specified in
the Policy and as permitted by law.

                                   BACKDATING

Depending on your Age at the time you apply for a Policy, it may be advantageous
to have the  Policy  Date be  earlier  than  the  Issue  Date.  This is known as
"backdating."  Doing so may enable you to  qualify  for lower cost of  insurance
charges. We only permit backdating if: (a) doing so will qualify you for a lower
cost of  insurance  charge;  and (b) the Policy Date is the no earlier  than the
date the Application is signed and in no case more than 90 days before the Issue
Date.  If you elect  backdating,  on the Issue Date we will deduct  charges that
would have been deducted as of the Policy Date and any Monthly  Processing Dates
between the Policy Date and the Issue Date.  To the extent  permitted by law, we
do not guarantee  any increase in the Account  Value for the period  between the
Policy  Date and the Issue Date.  However,  we also  reserve  the right,  to the
extent permitted by law, to credit you a fixed rate of interest for such period.
                           
                            POLICY LOANS ON EXCHANGES

Subject to our rules,  we will establish a loan on a Policy that you purchase as
part of an exchange that is not subject to current  taxation in accordance  with
Section 1035 of the Code.  The amount of the loan will be equal to the loan that
was in effect before you surrendered your prior policy. Under our rules we will,
among other  things,  increase  the  Account  Value as of the Policy Date by the
amount of the loan and allocate that portion of the  increased  Account Value to
the Loan Account as collateral  for the loan. By increasing  the Account  Value,
there will be a corresponding increase in the Face Amount and the Required Death
Benefit.  In addition,  for purposes of determining the Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit,  we will deem the "Premium" to be the amounts paid plus the loan amount
as of the Policy Date.  Any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge and  contingent
deferred  tax charge  will be based on the  actual  amounts  received,  not such
amounts  plus the  amount of the loan.  All  charges  that are  calculated  as a
percentage of your Account Value will increase because the Account Value will be
increased by the amount of the loan.

                          RESOLVING MATERIAL CONFLICTS

The Portfolios may be available to registered  separate accounts offering either
or both life and annuity  contracts of insurance  companies not affiliated  with
us. We also may offer life  insurance  policies  and/or  annuity  contracts that
offer  different  variable  investment  options  from those  offered  under this
Policy, but which invest in the same Portfolios. It is possible that differences
might arise  between our  Separate  Account F and one or more  accounts of other
insurance  companies  which  offer  a  Portfolio  as a  Sub-account.  It is also
possible that differences  might arise between a Sub-account  offered under this
Policy and variable  investment  options  offered under different life insurance
policies or annuities we offer, even though such different  variable  investment
options  invest in the same  Portfolio.  In some cases,  it is possible that the
differences could be considered "material conflicts." Such a "material conflict"
could  also  arise due to  changes  in the law (such as state  insurance  law or
Federal tax law) which affect either these  different life and annuity  separate
accounts or differing life insurance policies and annuities. It could also arise
by reason of  differences in voting  instructions  of persons with voting rights
under our policies and/or annuities and those of other  companies,  persons with
voting  rights under  annuities  and those with rights under life  policies,  or
persons  with voting  rights under one of our life  policies or  annuities  with
those under other life  policies or annuities we offer.  It could also arise for
other reasons.  We will monitor events so we can identify how to respond to such
conflicts.  If such a  conflict  occurs,  we will take the  necessary  action to
protect  persons  with  voting  rights  under  our life  policies  or  annuities
vis-a-vis  those with rights under life  policies or annuities  offered by other
insurance  companies.  We will also take the necessary action to treat equitably
persons with voting  rights under this Policy and any persons with voting rights
under any other life policy or annuity we offer.

                      MODIFICATION OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

We  reserve  the  right  to do any or all of  the  following:  (a)  combine  any
Sub-account(s) with any other Sub-account(s);  (b) combine Separate Account F or
a portion thereof with other separate accounts;  (c) deregister Separate Account
F under the Investment  Company Act of 1940; (d) operate Separate Account F as a
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or in any
other form  permitted  by law;  (e) make  changes  required by any change in the
Securities Act of 1933,  the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or the Investment
Company Act of 1940;  (f) make  changes  that are  necessary to maintain the tax
status of your  Policy  under the Code;  and (g) make  changes  required  by any
change in other  Federal or state laws  relating to life  insurance  policies in
general or variable life insurance policies in particular.

We also may make  additional  Sub-accounts  available  to you from time to time.
These  Sub-accounts  will invest in Portfolios we believe to be suitable for the
Policy. We may or may not make a new Sub-account  available to invest in any new
portfolio of one of the current  underlying mutual funds should such a portfolio
be made available to Separate Account F.

We may eliminate  Sub-accounts,  combine two or more  Sub-accounts or substitute
one or more new  underlying  mutual funds or  portfolios  for the one in which a
Sub-account  is  invested.  Substitutions  may  be  necessary  if we  believe  a
Portfolio  no longer  suits the purpose of the Policy.  This may happen due to a
change in laws or  regulations,  or a change  in the  investment  objectives  or
restrictions of a Portfolio, or because the Portfolio is no longer available for
investment,  or for some other reason.  We would obtain prior  approval from the
insurance  department  of our state of domicile,  if so required by law,  before
making such a  substitution,  combination,  deletion or addition.  We also would
obtain  prior  approval  from the SEC so long as required by law,  and any other
required approvals before making such a substitution,  combination,  deletion or
addition.

                                 ENTIRE CONTRACT

For any Policy  issued,  the entire  contract  between you and us  includes  the
Policy form and any of the following which may be attached to the Policy: riders
or endorsements,  the copy of any Application and  endorsements.  All statements
made in any Application are deemed to be representations and not warranties.  No
statement  is used to void a Policy or defend a claim  unless it is contained in
any Application attached to the Policy.

Only our  President,  one of our Vice  Presidents or our Secretary may change or
waive any  provisions of a Policy.  Any change or waiver must be In Writing.  To
the extent permitted by law, we are not bound by any promises or representations
made by or to any other person.

                          ADDITIONAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The  following  is a brief  summary  of  certain  Federal  tax  laws as they are
currently  interpreted.  No one can be certain that the laws or  interpretations
will remain unchanged or that agencies or courts will always agree as to how the
tax law or regulations are to be interpreted. This discussion is not intended as
tax advice. You may wish to consult a professional tax advisor for tax advice as
to your particular situation.

Our taxation:  We are taxed as a life insurance company under Part I, subchapter
L, of the Code.

Treatment as a "modified endowment contract": Under most circumstances, taxes on
any gain in the Policy are  `deferred'  and not taxed  every  year.  Unless your
Policy is established as part of an eligible exchange of a life insurance policy
entered into before June 21, 1988, amounts you receive as a partial  withdrawal,
a loan or as a surrender  are taxed in the same manner as  distributions  from a
deferred annuity before annuity  payments begin.  This means that these types of
distributions  are deemed to come first from any gain in the policy and that any
gain is treated as ordinary income. It also means that distributions of gain may
be  subject  to a 10%  tax  penalty  if  taken  before  age 59 1/2.  Under  most
circumstances,  the  Beneficiary  will  not  pay  any  income  tax on the  Death
Proceeds.

Assignment:  If you assign or pledge any portion of the Policy,  the transaction
is treated as a  distribution  subject to taxation as ordinary  income.  The tax
penalty  noted  above may apply.  In  addition,  except in the case of a partial
assignment  as of the  Policy  Date,  we expect to report  gain in the Policy as
currently taxable in each tax year the assignment remains in effect.

Gifts:  If you give your Policy as a gift to an entity for which you are not the
taxpayer  or to anyone  other than your spouse (or former  spouse  incident to a
divorce), the gift is treated for tax purposes as a distribution.

Aggregation  rules: You may purchase more than one life insurance policy from us
in the  same  calendar  year  that is  treated  under  the  Code as a  "modified
endowment contract,"  including the Policy described in this Prospectus.  If you
do, all such policies are subject to "aggregation rules." Under these rules, all
of these  policies  must be  treated as one  modified  endowment  contract  when
determining  the portion of any  distribution  or deemed  distribution  which is
currently taxable. It is also possible that these aggregation rules may apply to
any annuity  contracts  you purchase  from us in the same  calendar  year as you
purchase a Policy.

   
Exchanges: Section 1035 of the Code permits certain income tax-free exchanges of
life  insurance  policies.  You must comply with various  requirements  for such
exchanges to be treated as tax-free,  which include, but are not limited to: (a)
the need for the insured to be the same  individual  or  individuals  before and
after the  exchange;  (b) the need for the  owner(s)  to be the same  before and
after the exchange; and (c) the need to have the Debt on a Policy as of the date
all  premium  is  received  equal to any  outstanding  indebtedness  on the life
insurance  exchanged  for the Policy.  If you exchange a life  insurance  policy
considered  entered  into  before  June  21,  1988 and  which is not a  modified
endowment contract, we believe the new policy generally will not be treated as a
modified endowment contract if no additional premium is paid. For those Policies
not  treated as  modified  endowment  contracts,  we believe  that loans are not
treated  as  distributions  and  withdrawals  are deemed to come first from your
investment in the policy. In addition,  we believe that the aggregation rules as
well as the tax treatment of assignments,  pledges and gifts, noted above, would
not apply.  However,  we cannot  guarantee  this tax treatment and advise you to
consult your tax advisor before exchanging any existing life insurance policy.
    

Transfers between investment  options:  Transfers between investment options are
not subject to taxation. The Treasury Department may promulgate guidelines under
which a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as life insurance for
tax purposes if persons with ownership  rights have  excessive  control over the
investments underlying such a policy. Such guidelines may or may not address the
number of  investment  options or the  number of  transfers  between  investment
options  offered.  It  is  not  known  whether  such  guidelines,   if  in  fact
promulgated, would have retroactive effect. It is also not known what effect, if
any, such guidelines may have on transfers between the investment options of the
Policy offered pursuant to this Prospectus.  We will take any action,  including
modifications to your Policy or the  Sub-accounts,  required to comply with such
guidelines if promulgated.

   
Generation skipping transfers:  Under the Code certain taxes may be due when all
or part of a life insurance  policy is transferred to or a death benefit is paid
to an individual two or more generations  younger than the policy holder.  These
generation-skipping  transfers generally include those subject to federal estate
or gift tax rules.  There is an aggregate $1 million  exemption  from tax on all
such  transfers.  We may be required to  determine  whether a  transaction  is a
direct skip as defined in the Code and the amount of the resulting  tax. We will
deduct from your Policy or from any applicable  payment treated as a direct skip
any amount of tax we are required to pay. You should  consult with competent tax
counsel for more information on generation skipping transfers.
    

Diversification:  Section  817(h)  of the Code  provides  that a  variable  life
insurance  policy,  in  order  to  qualify  as  life  insurance,  must  have  an
"adequately  diversified"  segregated asset account (including  investments in a
mutual  fund by the  segregated  asset  account  of  insurance  companies).  The
Treasury Department's regulations prescribe the diversification requirements for
variable life insurance policy. We believe the underlying mutual fund portfolios
should comply with the terms of these regulations.

Withholding:   Section  3405  of  the  Code  provides  for  Federal  income  tax
withholding  on the portion of a  distribution  which is includible in the gross
income of the  recipient.  Amounts to be withheld  depend upon the nature of the
distribution.  However,  under most  circumstances  a recipient may elect not to
have income taxes  withheld or have income taxes withheld at a different rate by
filing a completed election form with us. A withholding form may be required.

Accelerated Death Benefits:  Payments of amounts that otherwise would be payable
to the  Beneficiary  as a result of an Insured's  death can qualify for the same
tax-free  treatment as death  benefits if certain  requirements  are met.  These
include  requirements  regarding the terminal illness of the Insured. We believe
payments  under the  provisions of the  accelerated  death benefit of the Policy
will meet the  requirements  of the Code and the regulations in order to qualify
as tax-free  payments.  A qualified  tax advisor  should be  consulted as to any
federal  gift  and  estate  tax  consequences  of an  Owner's  exercise  of  the
Accelerated  Death  Benefit  provision  and payment of the  proceeds  under this
provision to the Insured or other parties.

Extending  the Policy's  Maturity:  We believe that a Policy will continue to be
treated as life insurance and as a modified endowment contract under the Code if
you extend the Policy's  maturity under any extended maturity rider we may offer
in the future. However, this tax treatment is not certain, so you should consult
your tax advisor  before  taking this step. If the Policy is not treated as life
insurance  after any extension of maturity,  gain in the Policy may no longer be
taxed deferred, and all or a portion of the Death Proceeds may be taxable to the
Beneficiary.

Survivorship  Policies:  The Code does not directly address how certain features
of a policy  paying on the death of a surviving  insured  should be treated.  We
believe such a Policy should be treated as other life  insurance  policies,  but
there is some  uncertainty  as to  whether  that is the case.  If the  surviving
Insured is an Owner,  the Death Proceeds payable as a result of the death of the
last surviving  Insured  generally will be treated as part of the Owner's estate
for  purposes of the Federal  estate  tax. If the  surviving  Insured was not an
Owner, the replacement cost of the Policy would be included in the estate of the
Owner upon his or her death and Death Proceeds  payable as a result of the death
of the surviving  Insured are includible in the person's  estate if the proceeds
are payable to or for the benefit of that  person's  estate or if the  surviving
Insured held  incidents  of ownership in the Policy  within three years prior to
death.

Other  Taxes:  Amounts  received  or deemed  received  from a Policy that may be
subject to Federal  income tax also may be subject to state  income  taxes.  The
fair  market  value of a Policy  or the Death  Proceeds  may be  included  under
certain  circumstances in an estate for purposes of state  inheritance  taxes or
Federal  estate taxes.  Federal estate and gift taxes are integrated for various
purposes.  An  unlimited  marital  deduction  may apply for  purposes of Federal
estate and gift taxes,  which  would allow  deferral of taxes until the death of
the surviving spouse.
                            SAFEKEEPING OF THE ASSETS

We maintain the assets of the Separate Account and those in our general account.
The assets of the  Separate  Account  are  segregated  from those in our general
account.

                                   REGULATION

We are organized as a Connecticut stock life insurance company,  and are subject
to  Connecticut  law  governing  insurance  companies.   We  are  regulated  and
supervised by the  Connecticut  Commissioner  of Insurance.  By March 1 of every
year, we must prepare and file an annual statement,  in a form prescribed by the
Connecticut Insurance Department,  which covers our operations for the preceding
calendar year, and must prepare and file our statement of financial condition as
of December  31 of such year.  The  Commissioner  and his or her agents have the
right at all times to review or examine our books and assets. A full examination
of our  operations  will be  conducted  periodically  according to the rules and
practices of the National Association of Insurance  Commissioners  ("NAIC").  We
are subject to the insurance laws and various Federal and state  securities laws
and regulations and to regulatory agencies,  such as the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Connecticut Banking  Department,  which administer those laws
and regulations.

We can be assessed up to prescribed  limits for policyholder  losses incurred by
insolvent  insurers  under the insurance  guaranty fund laws of most states.  We
cannot predict or estimate the amount any such future assessments we may have to
pay. However,  the insurance  guaranty laws of most states provide for deferring
payment or  exempting  a company  from  paying  such an  assessment  if it would
threaten such insurer's financial strength.

Several states,  including  Connecticut,  regulate insurers and their affiliates
under insurance holding company laws and regulations. This applies to us and our
affiliates.  Under  such  laws,  inter-company  transactions,  such as  dividend
payments to parent  companies and  transfers of assets,  may be subject to prior
notice and approval, depending on factors such as the size of the transaction in
relation to the financial position of the companies.

Currently,  the federal  government  does not directly  regulate the business of
insurance.  However, federal legislative,  regulatory and judicial decisions and
initiatives  often have  significant  effects on our business.  Types of changes
that are most likely to affect our business include changes to: (a) the taxation
of life insurance  companies;  (b) the tax treatment of insurance products;  (c)
the  securities  laws,  particularly  as they  relate to  insurance  and annuity
products;  (d) the "business of insurance" exemption from many of the provisions
of the anti-trust  laws; (e) the barriers  preventing most banks from selling or
underwriting  insurance:  and (f) any initiatives  directed toward improving the
solvency  of  insurance  companies.   We  would  also  be  affected  by  federal
initiatives  that have impact on the ownership of or investment in United States
companies by foreign companies or investors.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

The law firm of Werner & Kennedy has passed on the legal matters relating to the
offering of these Policies.

                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date of this Prospectus,  neither we nor American  Skandia  Marketing,
Incorporated  were involved in any litigation  outside of the ordinary course of
business, and know of no material claims.

                                     EXPERTS

   
The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  American  Skandia  Life  Assurance
Corporation at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and for the years then ended, and the
financial  statements of American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation  Variable
Account F at December 31, 1998 and for the period June 26, 1998 through December
31, 1998,  appearing in this  Prospectus  and  Registration  Statement have been
audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors.  The consolidated  financial
statements of American  Skandia Life  Assurance  Corporation  for the year ended
December  31,  1996 has been  audited  by  Deloitte  & Touche  LLP,  independent
auditors. The audits, as set forth in their respective reports thereon appearing
elsewhere  herein,  are  included in  reliance  upon such  reports  given on the
authority of such firms as experts in accounting and auditing.
    

William H. Strong,  Vice  President,  FSA, MAAA,  has approved the  hypothetical
illustration  included in this Prospectus and  Registration  Statement.  We have
included them relying on his opinion that they are reasonable.

                          DISTRIBUTION OF THIS OFFERING

American  Skandia  Marketing,   Incorporated   ("ASM,   Inc."),  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of American  Skandia  Investment  Holding  Corporation,  acts as the
principal  underwriter of the Policies.  ASM was incorporated  under the laws of
the State of Delaware on  September  8, 1987.  ASM,  Inc.'s  principal  business
address is One  Corporate  Drive,  Shelton,  Connecticut  06484.  ASM, Inc. is a
broker-dealer  registered  with the SEC  under  the 1934 Act and a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD").

ASM, Inc. will enter into  distribution  agreements with certain  broker-dealers
registered  under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or with entities which
may  otherwise  offer the Policies  that are exempt from such  registration.  In
addition,  ASM, Inc. may offer Policies  directly to potential  purchasers.  The
maximum initial commission to be paid on premiums received is 8.5% and a portion
of  compensation  may be paid  from time to time  based on all or a  portion  of
either  the  Account  Value or the Cash  Value.  We  reserve  the  right to base
commissions  from  time-to-time  on the  investment  options  chosen by  Owners,
including investment options that may be deemed our "affiliates" or "affiliates"
of ASM, Inc. under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

   
As of the date of this  Prospectus,  we expect to pay an on-going service fee in
relation to providing  certain  statistical  information  upon request by Owners
about the investment options and the Portfolios.  We may make the fee payable to
the  service  providers  based on  either  the  Account  Value or Cash  Value of
Policies.  Under most circumstances,  we will engage the broker-dealer of record
for your  Policy,  or the entity of record if such entity  could offer  Policies
without  registration  as a  broker-dealer  (i.e.  certain  banks),  to be  your
resource for the statistical information,  and to be available upon your request
to both provide and explain such information to you. The broker-dealer of record
or the  entity of record is the firm  which sold you the  Policy,  unless  later
changed.  Some portion of the fee we pay for this service may be payable to your
representative.
    

From time to time we may promote the sale of our  products  such as the Policies
offered  pursuant to this  Prospectus  through  programs of non-cash  rewards to
registered representatives of participating  broker-dealers.  We may withdraw or
alter such promotions at any time.

To the extent  permitted,  we may advertise  certain  information  regarding the
performance of the investment  options that does not take into consideration the
effect of either the cost of insurance  charges,  the contingent  deferred sales
charge,  the  contingent  tax charge or the  maintenance  fee. This  performance
information  may help you review the  performance of the investment  options and
provide a basis for comparison  between the Policy's  investment  options.  This
information  may be less useful when comparing the performance of the investment
options with the  performance of investment  options  provided in other variable
life policies  because each plan of life  insurance will have its own applicable
charges.  This information is even less useful in comparing  performance to that
of any savings or investment vehicle, rather than variable life insurance.

Performance  information on the  Sub-accounts is based on past  performance only
and is no indication of future  performance.  Actual  performance will depend on
the type,  quality  and, for some of the  Sub-accounts,  the  maturities  of the
investments held by the Portfolios and upon prevailing market conditions and the
response of the  Portfolios to such  conditions.  Actual  performance  will also
depend on changes in the expenses of the Portfolios. Such changes are reflected,
in turn, in the Sub-accounts which invest in such Portfolios.  In addition,  the
charges  deducted  from  your  Account  Value and those  assessed  against  each
Sub-account will affect performance.

   
Certain of the  Portfolios  existed prior to the  inception of the  Sub-accounts
available  under  the  Policy.  To  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,
performance  quoted in  advertising  regarding  such  Sub-accounts  may indicate
periods  during which the  Portfolios  have been in  existence  but prior to the
inception of the  Sub-account(s)  or the initial offering of the Policies.  Such
performance  is  considered  hypothetical  historical  performance  because  the
Sub-accounts did not exist during the period the performance was achieved.  Such
hypothetical  historical  performance is calculated  using the same  assumptions
employed  in  calculating   historical   performance   since  inception  of  the
Sub-accounts.  Any such  historical  performance  will be based on  assumptions.
These include assumptions  regarding:  (a) the Age, risk class and gender, where
applicable,  of an Insured or Insureds; (b) the Premium and Policy Date; and (c)
assumptions  about a lack of transfers,  loans,  loan repayments and withdrawals
during the period for which performance is quoted.
    

American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation  may advertise its rankings and/or
ratings by independent financial ratings services. Such rankings may help you in
evaluating our ability to meet our obligations in relation to Fixed Allocations,
pay Death  Proceeds,  make payments under any  settlement  options or administer
Policies.  Such rankings and ratings do not reflect or relate to the performance
of Separate Account F or the underlying Portfolios.

In  Appendix A we provide  examples  of the kind of  hypothetical  illustrations
available to help you better understand how a Policy works. In that Appendix, we
also  provide  information  on  how  you  may  obtain  additional   hypothetical
illustrations.  In  Appendix  B, we provide  hypothetical  illustrations  of how
exercise of the  accelerated  death  benefit  provision  affects the values of a
Policy.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
    American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
Shelton, Connecticut

We have audited the consolidated statements of financial  condition of American
Skandia  Life  Assurance  Corporation (the  "Company"  which is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Skandia Insurance Company Ltd.) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related consolidated  statements of income,  shareholder's  equity, and
cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
American Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the  consolidated  results of its operations  and cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                     Skandia Insurance Company Ltd.)

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                December 31, 1998


1.      ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION

        American  Skandia  Life  Assurance  Corporation  (the  "Company")  is a
        wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  American  Skandia   Investment   Holding
        Corporation (the "Parent");  whose ultimate parent is Skandia Insurance
        Company Ltd., a Swedish corporation.

        The Company develops  long-term  savings and retirement  products which
        are distributed through its affiliated broker/dealer company,  American
        Skandia Marketing,  Incorporated  ("ASM"). The Company currently issues
        variable life insurance and variable,  fixed, market value adjusted and
        immediate  annuities  for  individuals,  groups and  qualified  pension
        plans.

        The Company has 99.9% ownership in Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. which is
        a life insurance company domiciled in Mexico.  This Mexican life 
        insurer is a start up company with expectations of selling long-term
        savings products within Mexico.  Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. had total
        shareholder's equity of $4,724,000 and $1,509,000 as of December 31,
        1998, and 1997, respectively, and has generated net losses of 
        $2,514,000, $1,438,000 and $781,000 for the years ended December 31,
        1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A.  Basis of Reporting

            The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been
            prepared in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
            principles.  Intercompany  transactions and balances have been
            eliminated in consolidation.

            Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts
            to conform with the current year presentation.

        B.  New Accounting Pronouncements

            In  June  1998,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board
            ("FASB")  issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard
            ("SFAS")  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and
            Hedging   Activities,"   which   establishes   accounting  and
            reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments  and hedging
            activities.  The standard  requires  that all  derivatives  be
            carried on the balance  sheets at fair  value.  The Company is
            currently not involved in derivatives  or hedging  instruments
            as part of its investment strategy.  The Company is evaluating
            the potential  impact of a change in accounting for derivative
            instruments  embedded  in certain  products  it  issues.  This
            standard is effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999.

            In March 1998,  the American  Institute  of  Certified  Public
            Accountants   issued   Statement  of  Position  ("SOP")  98-1,
            "Accounting  for the Costs of Software  Developed  or Obtained
            for Internal  Use," which  provides  guidance for  determining
            when computer software  developed or obtained for internal use
            should  be  capitalized.  It  also  provides  guidance  on the
            amortization  of  capitalized  costs  and the  recognition  of
            impairment.  The Company is evaluating the potential impact of
            adopting  this  SOP,  which  is  effective  for  fiscal  years
            beginning after December 15, 1998.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


         C.  Investments

             The Company has classified  its fixed maturity  investments as
             either  held-to-maturity  or  available-for-sale.  Investments
             classified  as  held-to-maturity   are  investments  that  the
             Company has the ability and intent to hold to  maturity.  Such
             investments are carried at amortized cost.  Those  investments
             which are  classified  as  available-for-sale,  are carried at
             fair  value and  changes  in  unrealized  gains and losses are
             reported as a component of other comprehensive income.

             The Company has  classified  its mutual  fund  investments  as
             available-for-sale. Such investments are carried at fair value
             and changes in  unrealized  gains and losses are reported as a
             component of other comprehensive income.

             Policy loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances.

             Realized  gains and  losses on  disposal  of  investments  are
             determined  by the  specific  identification  method  and  are
             included in revenues.

         D.  Cash Equivalents

             The  Company   considers  all  highly  liquid  time  deposits,
             commercial  paper and money market mutual funds purchased with
             a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         E.  State Insurance Licenses

             Licenses to do  business  in all states have been  capitalized
             and  reflected  at  the  purchase  price  of  $6,000,000  less
             accumulated  amortization.  The cost of the  licenses is being
             amortized over 40 years.

         F.  Fixed Assets

             Fixed assets consisting of furniture,  equipment and leasehold
             improvements   are  carried  at  cost  and  depreciated  on  a
             straight-line  basis  over a period  of  three to five  years.
             Accumulated  depreciation  amounted to $142,000 and $96,000 at
             December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Depreciation expense
             for the  years  ended  December  31,  1998,  1997 and 1996 was
             $46,000 and $63,000 and $29,000, respectively.

         G.  Income Taxes

             The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax
             return of Skandia U.S.  Investment Holding Corporation and its
             subsidiaries.  In accordance  with the tax sharing  agreement,
             the federal and state  income tax  provision  is computed on a
             separate  return basis,  as adjusted for  consolidated  items,
             such as net operating loss carryforwards.

             Income  taxes  are  provided  in  accordance  with  SFAS  109,
             "Accounting  for Income  Taxes",  which requires the asset and
             liability  method of accounting for deferred taxes. The object
             of this method is to recognize an asset and  liability for the
             expected  future  tax  effects  due to  temporary  differences
             between the  financial  reporting  and the tax basis of assets
             and  liabilities,   based  on  enacted  tax  rates  and  other
             provisions of the tax law.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


         H.  Recognition of Revenue and Contract Benefits

             Revenues for  variable  annuity  contracts  consist of charges
             against contractowner account values for mortality and expense
             risks,  administration  fees,  surrender charges and an annual
             maintenance  fee per contract.  Benefit  reserves for variable
             annuity contracts represent the account value of the contracts
             and are included in the separate account liabilities.

             Revenues for market value adjusted annuity  contracts  consist
             of  separate  account  investment  income  reduced  by benefit
             payments  and changes in reserves in support of  contractowner
             obligations,  all of which are included in return  credited to
             contractowners. Benefit reserves for these contracts represent
             the account  value of the  contracts,  and are included in the
             general account liability for future contractowner benefits to
             the extent in excess of the separate account liabilities.

             Revenues  for  immediate   annuity   contracts   without  life
             contingencies  consist of net investment income.  Revenues for
             immediate annuity contracts with life contingencies consist of
             single premium payments  recognized as annuity  considerations
             when received.  Benefit reserves for these contracts are based
             on the Society of Actuaries 1983 Table-a with assumed interest
             rates that vary by issue year.  Assumed  interest rates ranged
             from 6.25% to 8.25% and 6.5% to 8.25% at December 31, 1998 and
             December 31, 1997, respectively.

             Revenues  for variable  life  insurance  contracts  consist of
             charges   against   contractowner   account   values  for  the
             maintenance  and  expense  fees,  cost of  insurance  fees and
             surrender   charges.   Benefit   reserves  for  variable  life
             insurance   contracts  represent  the  account  value  of  the
             contracts   and  are   included   in  the   separate   account
             liabilities.

         I.  Deferred Acquisition Costs

             The costs of acquiring new  business,  which vary with and are
             primarily related to the production of new business, are being
             deferred net of reinsurance.  These costs include commissions,
             costs of contract issuance,  and certain selling expenses that
             vary  with   production.   These  costs  are  being  amortized
             generally  in  proportion  to  expected   gross  profits  from
             surrender  charges,  policy and asset based fees and mortality
             and   expense   margins.   This   amortization   is   adjusted
             retrospectively  and  prospectively  when estimates of current
             and  future  gross  profits  to be  realized  from a group  of
             products are revised.

             Details  of  the  deferred   acquisition   costs  and  related
             amortization for the years ended December 31, are as follows:

                      (in thousands)           1998         1997        1996

             Balance at beginning of year    $546,703     $355,734    $201,816

               during the year                261,432      243,476     171,253

             Acquisition costs amortized

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


         J.  Reinsurance

             The Company  cedes  reinsurance  under  modified  co-insurance
             arrangements.  The reinsurance arrangements provide additional
             capacity  for growth in  supporting  the cash flow strain from
             the Company's  variable  annuity and variable  life  insurance
             business.  The  reinsurance  is  effected  under  quota  share
             contracts.

             The company  reinsures certain mortality risks relating to the
             variable life  insurance  product,  as well as, the guaranteed
             minimum death benefit feature in the variable annuity product.

             At  December  31,  1998  and  1997,  in  accordance  with  the
             provisions of a modified  coinsurance  agreement,  the Company
             accrued   $1,976,000   and  $0,   respectively,   for  amounts
             receivable from favorable reinsurance experience on a block of
             variable annuity business.

         K.  Translation of Foreign Currency

             The  financial  position  and  results  of  operations  of the
             Company's Mexican subsidiary are measured using local currency
             as the  functional  currency.  Assets and  liabilities  of the
             subsidiary  are  translated  at the exchange rate in effect at
             each year-end.  Statements of income and shareholder's  equity
             accounts are translated at the average rate prevailing  during
             the  year.  Translation  adjustments  arising  from the use of
             differing exchange rates from period to period are reported as
             a component of other comprehensive income.

         L.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments

             The methods and  assumptions  used to determine the fair value
             of financial instruments are as follows:

             Fair values of fixed  maturities with active markets are based
             on quoted market prices.  For fixed  maturities  that trade in
             less  active  markets,   fair  values  are  obtained  from  an
             independent pricing service.

             Fair values of investments in mutual funds are based on quoted
             market prices.

             The carrying value of cash and cash  equivalents  approximates
             fair value due to the short-term nature of these investments.

             The carrying value of short-term  borrowing  approximates fair
             value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

             Fair values of certain financial  instruments,  such as future
             fees  payable  to parent  and  surplus  notes are not  readily
             determinable  and are  excluded  from  fair  value  disclosure
             requirements.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


         M.  Separate Accounts

             Assets and  liabilities  in Separate  Accounts are included as
             separate captions in the consolidated  statements of financial
             condition. Separate Account assets consist principally of long
             term bonds, investments in mutual funds, short-term securities
             and cash and cash  equivalents,  all of which are  carried  at
             fair value. The investments are managed  predominately through
             the Company's investment advisory affiliate,  American Skandia
             Investment  Services,  Inc. ("ASISI"),  utilizing various fund
             managers  as  sub-advisors.   The  remaining  investments  are
             managed by independent investment firms. The contractowner has
             the  option of  directing  funds to a wide  variety  of mutual
             funds.  The  investment  risk  on the  variable  portion  of a
             contract is borne by the contractowner.  A fixed option with a
             minimum  guaranteed  interest  rate  is  also  available.  The
             Company is  responsible  for the credit risk  associated  with
             these investments.

             Included in Separate Account  liabilities are $771,195,000 and
             $773,067,000  at  December  31,  1998 and 1997,  respectively,
             relating to annuity  contracts for which the  contractowner is
             guaranteed a fixed rate of return.  Separate Account assets of
             $771,195,000  and  $773,067,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
             respectively,  consisting  of  long  term  bonds,  short  term
             securities,  transfers  due from general  account and cash and
             cash   equivalents  are  held  in  support  of  these  annuity
             contracts, pursuant to state regulation.

         N.  Estimates

             The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
             generally  accepted   accounting   principles   requires  that
             management  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the
             reported  amount of assets and  liabilities at the date of the
             financial  statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
             expenses  during the reporting  period.  The more  significant
             estimates and assumptions are related to deferred  acquisition
             costs  and  involve  policy  lapses,   investment  return  and
             maintenance  expenses.  Actual results could differ from those
             estimates.

3.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         As of  January  1, 1998  the  Company  adopted  SFAS  130,  "Reporting
         Comprehensive Income,"  which sets  standards  for the  reporting  and
         display  of  comprehensive income  and its  components;  however,  the
         adoption of this  Statement had no impact on the  Company's  financial
         position or net income. SFAS 130 requires  unrealized gains and losses
         on the Company's available-for-sale  securities  and foreign  currency
         translation  adjustments,   which  prior  to  adoption  were  reported

         Management believes that based on the taxable  income  produced in the
         current year and the continued growth in annuity products,  the Company
         will  produce sufficient  taxable  income in the future to realize its
         deferred  tax asset. As such,  the Company  released  the deferred tax
         valuation allowance of $9,325,000 in 1996.

         The income tax  expense was  different  from the  amount  computed  by
         applying the federal statutory tax rate of 35% to pre-tax  income from
         continuing operations as follows:

        In connection with these transactions, the Parent issued collateralized
        notes in a private placement which are secured by the rights to receive
        future fees and charges purchased from the Company.

        Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the rights sold provide for
        the Parent to receive a  percentage  of future  mortality  and  expense
        charges and  contingent  deferred  sales  charges,  after  reinsurance,
        expected to be realized over the remaining  surrender  charge period of
        the  designated  contracts (6 to 8 years).  The  percentage  is 100% on
        transactions 1997-3 and 1998-3 and 80% on all other transactions.

        The Company  did not sell the right to receive  future fees and charges
        after the expiration of the surrender charge period.

        The Company and an affiliate  cooperatively have a long-term  incentive
        plan under  which  units are awarded to  executive  officers  and other
        personnel.  The program  consists of  multiple  plans,  with a new plan
        instituted each year.  Generally,  participants must remain employed by
        the  Company or its  affiliates  at the time such units are  payable in
        order to receive any  payments  under the plan.  The accrued  liability
        representing  the value of these units was  $21,372,000 and $15,720,000

        Such ceded  reinsurance does not relieve the Company of its obligations
        to  policyholders.  The Company remains liable to its policyholders for
        the portion  reinsured to the extent that any  reinsurer  does not meet
        the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements.

        The surplus note for $20,000,000  dated December 29, 1993 was converted
        to additional paid-in capital on December 31, 1998.

        All surplus notes mature seven years from the issue date.

        Payment of  interest  and  repayment  of  principal  for these notes is
        subject to certain  conditions  and require  approval by the  Insurance
        Commissioner  of the State of  Connecticut.  At  December  31, 1998 and
        1997, $9,644,000 and $7,796,000,  respectively,  of accrued interest on
        surplus notes was not approved for payment under these criteria.


15.     SHORT-TERM BORROWING

        The Company had a $10 million  short-term loan payable to the Parent at
        December 31, 1998 and 1997. The total  interest  expense to the Company
        was  $622,000,  $642,000 and $643,000 and for the years ended  December
        31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  of which $182,000 and $201,000
        was payable as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


16.     CONTRACT WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

        Approximately  99% of the Company's  separate  account  liabilities are
        subject to discretionary  withdrawal by  contractowners at market value
        or with market  value  adjustment.  Separate  account  assets which are
        carried at fair value are  adequate to pay such  withdrawals  which are
        generally  subject  to  surrender  charges  ranging  from 10% to 1% for
        contracts held less than 10 years.

17.     SEGMENT REPORTING

        In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
        an Enterprise and Related  Information." SFAS 131 establishes standards
        for the way that public  enterprises report information about operating
        segments  in  annual  financial  statements  and  requires  that  those
        enterprises  report selected  information  about operating  segments in
        interim financial  reports issued to shareholders.  It also establishes
        standards   related  to   disclosures   about  products  and  services,
        geographic  areas  and  major  customers.  SFAS  131 is  effective  for
        financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997.

        During 1998, to complement its annuity  products,  the Company launched
        specific  marketing and operational  activities  towards the release of
        variable life insurance and qualified retirement plan annuity products.
        As of December 31, 1998,  sales were not significant  enough to warrant
        full segment disclosures.  Sales, as measured by premium received,  for
        the year ended  December  31, 1998 and assets  under  management  as of
        December 31, 1998, for the respective segments were as follows:

To the Contractowners of
    American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
    Variable Account F and the
    Board of Directors and Shareholder of
    American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
Shelton, Connecticut

We have audited the accompanying  statement of assets and contractowners' equity
of the twenty-six  sub-accounts of American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation
Variable  Account F,  referred to in Note 1, as of December  31,  1998,  and the
related  statements of operations  and changes in net assets for the period from
June 26, 1998 through  December 31, 1998.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the twenty-six  sub-accounts of
American Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation  Variable Account F, referred to in
Note 1, at December  31,  1998,  and the results of their  operations  and their

American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
Variable Account F

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998

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

1.       ORGANIZATION

         American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation  Variable  Account F (the
         "Account") is a separate  investment  account of American  Skandia Life
         Assurance Corporation ("American Skandia" or "Company"). The Account is
         registered  with the SEC under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 as a
         unit investment  trust.  The Account  commenced  operations on June 25,
         1998.

         As of  December  31,  1998,  the  Account  consisted  of thirty  -three
         sub-accounts.   These   financial   statements   report  on  twenty-six
         sub-accounts  which had financial  activity during 1998 and are offered
         in American  Skandia's AS Trophy Single Premium Variable Life Insurance
         Product.  Each of the twenty-six  sub-accounts invests only in a single
         corresponding  portfolio of either The Alger  American  Fund,  American
         Skandia Trust, or Montgomery Variable Series (the "Trusts"). Fred Alger
         Management,  Inc. is the advisor for The Alger American Fund.  American
         Skandia  Investments  Services,  Incorporated,  an  affiliate,  is  the
         investment  manager  for  the  American  Skandia  Trust,  while  Putnam
         Investment   Management,   Inc.,  Lord  Abbett  &  Co.,  Janus  Capital
         Corporation,   J.P.   Morgan   Inc.,   Neuberger   Berman   Management,
         Incorporated,   Federated   Investment   Counseling,   T.  Rowe   Price
         Associates,  Inc., Rowe  Price-Fleming  International,  Inc.,  Founders
         Asset Management,  LLC, Pacific Investment Management Company,  INVESCO
         Funds Group Inc., OpphenheimerFunds, Inc., American Century Investments
         Management,  Inc.,  Marsico  Capital  Management,  LLC,  Cohen & Steers
         Capital   Management,   Inc.,   and  Bankers   Trust  Company  are  the
         subadvisors. Montgomery Asset Management L.P. is the investment advisor
         for the Montgomery Variable Series.

         The  investment  advisors  are paid  fees  for  their  services  by the
         respective Trusts.

         American  Skandia's AS Trophy Single  Premium  Variable Life  Insurance
         Policy  is  marketed  through  American  Skandia  Marketing,  Inc.,  an
         affiliate.

2.       VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

         The market value of the investments in the sub-accounts is based on the
         net asset  values of the Trust  shares  held at the end of the  current
         period.  Transactions  are accounted for on the trade date and dividend
         income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Realized gains and losses on
         sales of investments are determined on a first-in first-out basis.

3.       ESTIMATES

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

4.       INCOME TAXES

         American  Skandia  does not  expect to incur  any  federal  income  tax
         liability on earnings,  or realized  capital gains  attributable to the
         Account,  therefore,  no charges for federal income taxes are currently
         deducted  from the Account.  If American  Skandia  incurs  income taxes
         attributable  to the  Account,  or  determines  that such taxes will be
         incurred, it may make a charge for such taxes against the Account.

         Under current laws,  American  Skandia may incur state and local income
         taxes (in addition to premium tax) in several states.  The Company does
         not  anticipate  that  these  will be  significant.  However,  American
         Skandia may make charges to the Account in the event that the amount of
         these taxes change.

5.       DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

         Section  817(h) of the Internal  Revenue Code  provides that a variable
         life insurance policy, in order to qualify as life insurance, must have
         an  "adequately   diversified"   segregated  asset  account  (including
         investments  in a mutual fund by the  segregated  asset  account of the
         insurance companies).  The Treasury Department's  regulations prescribe
         the diversification  requirements for variable life insurance policies.
         We believe the  underlying  mutual fund  portfolios  complied  with the
         terms of these regulations.
 
6.       CONTRACT CHARGES

         The  following  contract  charges  are paid to American  Skandia  which
         provides administrative services to the Account:

         Mortality  and Expense Risk Charges - Charged daily against the Account
         at an annual rate of 0.90% of the net assets.

         Administrative  Fees - Charged  daily  against the Account at an annual
         rate of 0.15% of the net assets.

         Contingent  Deferred  Sales  Charges  are  computed as set forth in the
         American  Skandia's AS Trophy Single  Premium  Variable Life  Insurance
         Policy Prospectus.
 
7.       YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE (UNAUDITED)

         The Company is  continuing  its  ongoing  assessment  of the  potential
         impact of the year 2000 issue on various  aspects of its business.  The
         Company's  computer  support is  provided  by its  affiliate,  American
         Skandia  Information  Services and Technology  Corporation,  which also
         provides  such  support  for the  Company's  affiliated  broker-dealer,
         American Skandia Marketing,  Incorporated, and the Company's affiliated
         investment  advisory  firm,   American  Skandia  Investment   Services,
         Incorporated.  Because of the  nature of the  Company's  business,  any
         assessment  of the  potential  impact  of the year  2000  issues on the
         company must be an assessment  of the potential  impact of these issues
         on all  these  companies,  which  are  referred  to below as  "American
         Skandia".

         Business Partners

         Management  believes the company is most  vulnerable in its  interfaces
         with computer systems of investment managers, sub-advisors, third party
         administrators,  vendors and other business partners.  The inability to
         properly recognize date sensitive  electronic  information and transfer
         data  between  systems  could cause  errors or even a complete  systems
         failure  which  would  result  in a  temporary  inablility  to  process
         transactions correctly or engage in normal business activities.

         The American  Skandia deferred annuity  operational  business  partners
         report  that all  critical  interfaces  are Year  2000  compliant.  All
         investment  manager and sub-advisors are required by the Securities and
         Exchange  Commission  to  publicly  disclose  their Year 2000 status is
         December 1998 and June 1999.

         American Skandia has initiated formal  communications with parties that
         provide third party  administration,  record keeping and trust services
         in connection  with its life  insurance and qualified  retirement  plan
         annuities  business.  Management has already  received  several written
         assurances  that these firms will be Year 2000  compliant.  The Company
         expects to have certifications from all remaining parties by July 1999.
         American Skandia is currently developing contingency plans in the event
         that these targets are not met.

         Information Technology Systems

         American  Skandia  is  a  relatively  young  company  whose  internally
         developed systems were designed from the start with the four digit year
         codes.   The  Company  engaged  an  external   information   technology
         specialist  to  review  American   Skandia's   operating   systems  and
         internally developed software. The assessment was completed in December
         1997  and the  results  were  favorable.  Specific  modifications  were
         suggested,  evaluated,  and implemented for the annuity  adminsitration
         system.  This project was completed  during 1998 and a ceritificate  of
         compliance has been received.  Other non-critical  internally developed
         applications  in the  client/server  area have  already been or will be
         remediated  during 1999. The costs  associated  with this aspect of the
         Year 2000  compliance  have not had,  and are not  expected to have,  a
         significant impact on the Company's results from operations.

         Suppliers and Non-Information Technology Systems

         Like most  companies,  American  Skandia  is reliant  on  network,  and
         desktop operating  systems and software  providers to release compliant
         versions of their respective  systems.  American  Skandia's  network is
         currently at the most compliant level  available.  The standard desktop
         software  will  be  replaced,   as  fully  compliant   versions  become
         available. In addition, the Company is in the process of contacting the
         non-information systems vendors and suppliers regarding their Year 2000
         compliance status and will factor the results of these assessments into
         its contingency plans.


7.       YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE (UNAUDITED)

         Management believes it has an effective program in place to resolve the
         Year  2000  issue  in  a  timely  manner.  However,  should  errors  or
         disruptions  in  computer  service  occur,  the Company  could  realize
         losses.  Given the nature and  uncertainty of such losses,  the amounts
         cannot be reasonably determined.

                                   APPENDIX A
  HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES AND CASH VALUES


It is impossible to illustrate  exactly how a Policy will perform in the future.
However, you may better understand how a Policy works, and may be able to better
compare  a  Policy  with  other  life  insurance   plans,   using   hypothetical
illustrations based on the personal characteristics of the Insured(s) as well as
certain  assumptions  about the future.  You can do this using the  hypothetical
illustrations  provided in this  Appendix A. You can also do this by  requesting
from us personalized hypothetical  illustrations based on: (a) the Age(s) of the
Insured(s); (b) the expected risk class(es) of the Insured(s); (c) the gender of
the Insured(s),  where permitted;  (d) the Face Amount you seek or the amount of
Premium you intend to pay; and (e) applicable cost of insurance charges.  Please
forward any such request to us at our address as shown on the first page of this
Prospectus.

As of the date of this Prospectus, we only provide such personalize hypothetical
illustrations  on  paper.  We  reserve  the  right  to make  such  illustrations
available in the future via electronic  transmission or as part of a multi-media
presentation.

As of the date of this Prospectus, we do not provide hypothetical  illustrations
that assume future loans, withdrawals,  loan repayments or varying assumed rates
of return. However, we reserve the right to make such illustrations available in
the future.

The  hypothetical  illustrations  that  follow  show the  changes  in the  Death
Benefit,  Account  Value and Cash Value over time based on certain  assumptions.
All values are provided as of the end of each Policy Year shown. The assumptions
used are as follows:

1.                Hypothetical  average  annual  gross  rates of  return  in the
                  Portfolios  of 0%, 6% and 12%.  Of course,  actual  investment
                  performance is not a constant rate. If the hypothetical  gross
                  rate of return were to fluctuate  above or below the 0%, 6% or
                  12% average over a period of years, the Death Benefit, Account
                  Value and Cash Value may be different.  For hypothetical rates
                  of return of 0% and 6%, the  illustrations  will indicate if a
                  Policy  would  lapse.  HYPOTHETICAL  RATES OF  RETURN  ARE FOR
                  ILLUSTRATIVE  PURPOSES  ONLY AND ARE NOT A  REPRESENTATION  OF
                  PAST OR FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

2.                Hypothetical   constant   expense  ratios  of  1.10%  for  the
                  Portfolios.  The  total  annual  expenses  for the  underlying
                  mutual  funds  are  shown in the  section  entitled  "Variable
                  Investment  Options." The 0.98% hypothetical  expense ratio is
                  the weighted  average of the actual total annual  expenses for
                  all available  Portfolios as of December 31, 1998.  Certain of
                  the Portfolios have not been in existence for a full year and,
                  therefore,  the total annual expenses for those Portfolios are
                  estimated  and  annualized.  The  0.98%  hypothetical  expense
                  ratio,  when deducted  from the  hypothetical  average  annual
                  gross rates of return equals a hypothetical average annual net
                  rate of return of -0.98%, 5.02% and 11.02%, respectively.

3.                The  mortality  and expense risk charge  assessed  against the
                  assets in the Separate Account at an annualized rate of 0.90%.
                  The  charge  for   administrative   expenses   connected  with
                  operating  the Separate  Account is 0.25% per year. It is also
                  assumed  that  there is no tax  charge  assessed  against  the
                  Separate Account.

4.                The charges under the Policy,  including the cost of insurance
                  charges that differ by gender, risk class and attained age. It
                  is assumed  that there are no transfer  fees  applicable.  The
                  hypothetical  illustrations  are  presented  based on both the
                  current and guaranteed cost of insurance charges.

5.                There are no loans, loan repayments, withdrawals,  accelerated
                  death benefit  payments or amounts paid to maintain the Policy
                  in effect during a grace period. The hypothetical  values will
                  include Cash Value Credits, if applicable.

6.                The Age(s) and,  where  applicable,  gender of the  Insured(s)
                  shown  in each  illustration.  The cost of  insurance  charges
                  differ  based on the  age(s) of the  Insured(s)  on the Policy
                  Date  and,   where   permitted  by  law,  the  gender  of  the
                  Insured(s).

         7.       The  Insured(s)  is/are  eligible  for the no tobacco use risk
                  class.  For each  gender and age  classification,  the cost of
                  insurance rate for the "No Tobacco Use" classification is .35%
                  lower than the rate for the "Tobacco User" classification.

         8. The Premium and Face Amount are as shown in each illustration.

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE FOR  ILLUSTRATIVE  PURPOSES  ONLY  AND ARE NOT A  REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT  RESULTS.  ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON INVESTMENT
ALLOCATIONS  MADE BY THE POLICY  OWNER AND MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
THE DEATH BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THE AVERAGE  AMOUNT  DURING A PERIOD OF POLICY  YEARS.  THE DEATH
BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO VARY DEPENDING ON
THE INVESTMENT  ALLOCATIONS  MADE TO THE SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF
THE SUB-ACCOUNTS.  NO REPRESENTATION  CAN BE MADE THAT THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF
RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE FOR  ILLUSTRATIVE  PURPOSES  ONLY  AND ARE NOT A  REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT  RESULTS.  ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON INVESTMENT
ALLOCATIONS  MADE BY THE POLICY  OWNER AND MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
THE DEATH BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THE AVERAGE  AMOUNT  DURING A PERIOD OF POLICY  YEARS.  THE DEATH
BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO VARY DEPENDING ON
THE INVESTMENT  ALLOCATIONS  MADE TO THE SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF
THE SUB-ACCOUNTS.  NO REPRESENTATION  CAN BE MADE THAT THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF
RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE FOR  ILLUSTRATIVE  PURPOSES  ONLY  AND ARE NOT A  REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT  RESULTS.  ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON INVESTMENT
ALLOCATIONS  MADE BY THE POLICY  OWNER AND MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
THE DEATH BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THE AVERAGE  AMOUNT  DURING A PERIOD OF POLICY  YEARS.  THE DEATH
BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO VARY DEPENDING ON
THE INVESTMENT  ALLOCATIONS  MADE TO THE SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF
THE SUB-ACCOUNTS.  NO REPRESENTATION  CAN BE MADE THAT THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF
RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE FOR  ILLUSTRATIVE  PURPOSES  ONLY  AND ARE NOT A  REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT  RESULTS.  ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON INVESTMENT
ALLOCATIONS  MADE BY THE POLICY  OWNER AND MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
THE DEATH BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THE AVERAGE  AMOUNT  DURING A PERIOD OF POLICY  YEARS.  THE DEATH
BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO VARY DEPENDING ON
THE INVESTMENT  ALLOCATIONS  MADE TO THE SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF
THE SUB-ACCOUNTS.  NO REPRESENTATION  CAN BE MADE THAT THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF
RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE FOR  ILLUSTRATIVE  PURPOSES  ONLY  AND ARE NOT A  REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT  RESULTS.  ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON INVESTMENT
ALLOCATIONS  MADE BY THE POLICY  OWNER AND MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
THE DEATH BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THE AVERAGE  AMOUNT  DURING A PERIOD OF POLICY  YEARS.  THE DEATH
BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO VARY DEPENDING ON
THE INVESTMENT  ALLOCATIONS  MADE TO THE SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF
THE SUB-ACCOUNTS.  NO REPRESENTATION  CAN BE MADE THAT THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF
RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

             HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATION OF ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT

The following are  hypothetical  illustrations of the impact of payments made to
the Insured under the  accelerated  death benefit  provision of the Policy.  The
first  hypothetical  illustration  assumes the Insured is a female, age 45 as of
the Policy Date. The second hypothetical  illustration  assumes the Insured is a
male, age 65 as of the Policy Date.  The following  other  assumptions  apply to
both hypothetical illustrations:

1.   The Premium paid was $20,000.
2.   The Accelerated  Death Benefit provision is exercised as of the 10th Policy
     Anniversary.
3.   The investment options in which Account Value was allocated have grown at a
     hypothetical average annual net rate of return of 8% since the Issue Date.
4.   There have been no loans or loan repayments.
5.   No amounts have been withdrawn.
6.   50% of the maximum  available  amount is taken pursuant to the  accelerated
     death benefit provision.
7.   The 12 month interest rate discount used in the  calculation of the benefit
     assumes interest at 6% per year, compounded yearly.

The  following  are  various  policy  values  immediate  before  and  after  the
accelerated death benefit is paid:

The Required  Death Benefit is determined by treating the Account Value as if it
were a net single  premium.  We determine the Required Death Benefit by dividing
the Account Value by factors that are  determined  as of the Policy Date.  These
factors vary by the attained Age, gender (where permitted) and risk class of the
Insured. Factors for joint life cases depend upon an actuarial derivation of the
applicable rate for both Insureds.

The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge depends on the risk class of the
Insured(s).  We base the  guaranteed  maximum  charges on the sex distinct  1980
Commissioners  Standard  Ordinary  Ultimate  Mortality  Table, age last birthday
unless unisex rates apply. The amounts shown are per $1,000 amount at risk. Cost
of insurance charges for joint life cases depend upon an actuarial derivation of
the  applicable  rate for both  insureds.  Guaranteed  maximum cost of insurance
charges for specific proposed joint insureds are available upon request.

                           UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  the  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic  information,
documents,  and reports as may be  prescribed  by any rule or  regulation of the
Commission  heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.

                     RULE 484 UNDERTAKING ON INDEMNIFICATION

Article XIII of the By-laws of American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation,  a
Connecticut corporation, (the "Corporation") provides for indemnification of its
officers, directors, and employees as follows:

SECTION 1.      Proceedings Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation.

The  Corporation  shall  indemnify  any  person  who  was  or is a  party  or is
threatened to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or completed  action,
suit or  proceeding,  whether  civil,  criminal,  administrative  or investigate
(other  than an action by or in the right of the  Corporation)  by reason of the
fact that he, or the person whose representative he is, is or was a shareholder,
director,  officer,  employee or agent of the Corporation,  or is or was serving
solely at the request of the  Corporation  as a director,  officer,  employee or
agent  of  another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust  or other
enterprise,  against expenses  (including  attorneys' fees),  judgments,  fines,
penalties,  and amounts paid in settlement  actually and reasonably  incurred by
him in  connection  with  such  action,  suit or  proceeding  if the  person  is
successful  on the merits in the  defense of the  proceeding  or as  provided in
Section  3  hereof,  if he acted in good  faith  and in a manner  he  reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the  corporation,  and
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,  the person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful or if upon application to the court as
provided in Section 5 hereof,  the court shall have  determined  that in view of
all the  circumstances  such  person is fairly  and  reasonably  entitled  to be
indemnified, and then for such amount as the court shall determine; except that,
in  connection  with  an  alleged  claim  based  upon  his  purchase  or sale of
securities  of the  Corporation  or of  another  enterprise,  which he serves or
served at the request of the Corporation,  the Corporation  shall only indemnify
such person after the court shall have determined, on application as provided in
Section 5 hereof,  that in view of all the  circumstances  such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to be indemnified, and then for such amount as the court
shall determine.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order,  settlement,  conviction,  or  upon  a  plea  of  nolo  contendre  or its
equivalent,  shall not, of itself,  create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he  reasonably  believed to be in or not
opposed to the best  interests of the  Corporation  or of the  participants  and
beneficiaries  of such employee  benefit plan or trust and  consistent  with the
provisions  of such  employee  benefit  plan or trust,  or, with  respect to any
criminal action or proceeding,  that he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 2.                 Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation.

The  Corporation  shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened
to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending  or  completed  action,  suit or
proceeding, by or in the right of the Corporation,  to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he, or the person whose legal representative he
is,  is or was a  shareholder,  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of the
Corporation,  or is or was serving solely at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint
venture,  trust  or  enterprise,  against  expenses  (including  attorney  fees)
actually and reasonably  incurred by him in connection  with such  proceeding in
relation  to  matters  as to  which  such  person,  or the  person  whose  legal
representative  his is, is finally adjudged not to have breached his duty to the
Corporation, or where the court, on application as provided in Section 6 hereof,
shall  have  determined  that in view or all the  circumstances  such  person is
fairly and reasonably  entitled to be  indemnified,  and then for such amount as
the court shall  determine.  The  Corporation  shall not so  indemnify  any such
person for amounts paid to the  Corporation,  to a plaintiff or to counsel for a
plaintiff in settling or otherwise  disposing of a  proceeding,  with or without
court  approval;  or for expenses  incurred in  defending a proceeding  which is
settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.


SECTION 3.                 Determination of Right of Indemnification.

The  conclusion  provided  for in  Section 1 hereof may be reached by any of the
following: (1) The Board of Directors of the Corporation by a consent in writing
signed by a majority of those directors who were not parties to such proceeding;
(2)  independent  legal  counsel  selected  by a consent in writing  signed by a
majority of those directors who were not parties to such proceeding;  (3) in the
case  of  any  employee  or  agent  who is not an  officer  or  director  of the
Corporation,  the Corporation's  general counsel; or (4) the shareholders of the
Corporation by the  affirmative  vote of at least a majority of the voting power
of shares not owned by parties to such  proceeding,  represented at an annual or
special meeting of shareholders, duly called with notice of such purpose stated.
Such person shall also be entitled to apply to a court for such conclusion, upon
application as provided in Section 5 hereof,  even though the conclusion reached
by any of the  foregoing  shall have been  adverse to him or to the person whose
legal representative he is.


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 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.

                         REPRESENTATION AND UNDERTAKING

The  Registrant and the Company  hereby make the following  representations  and
undertakings:

(a) This filing is made pursuant to Rules 6c-3 and 6e-3(T) under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the  "Act").  The  Registrant  and the Company  elect to be
governed by Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(i)(A) under the Act with respect to the Policies
described  in the  prospectus.  The  Policies  are  designed in such a way as to
qualify for the exemptive relief from various  provisions of the Act afforded by
Rule 6e-3(T).

(b) The Company is relying on Paragraph  (b)(13)(iii)(F) of Rule 6e-3(T) for the
deduction of the mortality and expense risk charges ("risk  charges")assumed  by
the Company under the Policies. The Company represents that the risk charges are
reasonable  in  relation  to all of the risks  assumed by the  issuer  under the
Policies. (Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(2)(ii)).  Actuarial memoranda demonstrating
the  reasonableness of these charges are maintained by the Company,  and will be
made available to the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission") on
request. (Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(3).

(c) The Company has  concluded  that there is a reasonable  likelihood  that the
distribution  financing  arrangement  of the  separate  account will benefit the
separate account and the contractholders and will keep and make available to the
Commission   on  request  a  memorandum   setting   forth  the  basis  for  this
representation. (Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(4)(ii)(A).

(d) The  Company  represents  that the  separate  account  will  invest  only in
management  investment  companies  which  have  undertaken  to have a  board  of
directors,  a  majority  of whom  are not  interested  persons  of the  company,
formulate  and  approve  any  plan  under  Rule  12b-1 to  finance  distribution
expenses. (Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(4)(ii)(B)(2).

(e) Pursuant to Rule 26(e) under the Act, the Company hereby represents that the
fees and charges deducted under the Policy  described in the Prospectus,  in the
aggregate,  are  reasonable in relation to the services  rendered,  the expenses
expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the Company.

     Related Investment Company Act Filing on Form N-8B-2:  811-08447

Dear Mesdames and Messrs.:

         You have  requested  us, as general  counsel to American  Skandia  Life
Assurance Corporation ("American Skandia"),  to furnish you with this opinion in
connection with the  above-referenced  registration  statement by Registrant and
American Skandia,  the Depositor,  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
(the  "Registration  Statement") of a certain  Modified Single Premium  Variable
Life  Insurance  Contract  (the  "Contract")  that will be  issued  by  American
Skandia.

         We  have  made  such  examination  of  the  statutes  and  authorities,
corporate records of American  Skandia,  documents  relating to Registrant,  and
other  documents as in our  judgment are  necessary to form a basis for opinions
hereinafter expressed.

         In our examinations,  we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures
on, and authenticity of, and the conformity to original  documents of all copies
submitted  to us. As to various  questions of fact  material to our opinion,  we
have relied upon statements and certificates of officers and  representatives of
American Skandia, the Registrant, and others.

         Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.  American  Skandia is a validly  existing  corporation  under the laws of the
State of Connecticut.

2.                The form of the Contract has been duly  authorized by American
                  Skandia,  and has been or will be filed in states  where it is
                  eligible for approval,  and upon  issuance in accordance  with
                  the laws of such  jurisdictions,  and  with  the  terms of the
                  Prospectus, will be valid and binding upon American Skandia.

         We hereby  consent  to the use of this  opinion  as an  exhibit to this
Post-effective  Amendment No. 1 to the Registration  Statement on Form S-6 under
the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and to the reference to our name under

Dear Sir:

This opinion is furnished in connection with the Form S-6 Registration Statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), of a certain modified
single  premium  variable  life  insurance  policy (the  "Policy")  that will be
offered and sold by American  Skandia  Life  Assurance  Corporation  and certain
units of interest to be issued in connection with the Policy.

The  hypothetical  illustrations of the Policy used in the Form S-6 Registration
Statement  accurately reflect reasonable  estimates of projected  performance of
the Policy under the  stipulated  rates of investment  return,  the  contractual
expense  deductions  and  guaranteed  cost-of-insurance  rates,  and utilizing a
reasonable estimation for expected fund operating expenses.

I  hereby  consent  to the use of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the Form S-6
Registration  Statement  and to the  reference  to my  name  under  the  heading
"Experts"  in the  Prospectus  included as a part of such Form S-6  Registration
Statement.

                                                     Very truly yours,
