This  Prospectus  describes a flexible  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 "flexible premium
variable  life  insurance  policy".  These  technical  terms can be explained as
follows:

(1)      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.

     (2) The   coverage  is  a  "flexible   premium"   plan  because  it  offers
         considerable  flexibility  regarding  the  timing and amount of premium
         payments after the first. No additional  premium must be paid unless it
         is required to pay the ongoing  monthly  charges.  However,  there is a
         minimum  amount we accept,  both for initial and  subsequent  premiums.
         There is also a maximum  total  amount you can pay. In order to achieve
         certain  beneficial tax treatment for  withdrawals  and loans,  you may
         need to limit the amounts  you pay.  If you pay the  maximum  allowable
         amount,  you may not be able  to pay any  additional  premiums  without
         applying for, and our agreeing to issue, additional insurance.

     (3) The coverage is "variable" because you can allocate all or part of your
         premiums to variable  investment  options that invest in an  underlying
         mutual fund or a portfolio of an underlying  mutual fund. 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 performance of the
         variable investment options is not guaranteed.  You bear the investment
         risk if you  allocate  funds to these  investment  options  because the
         benefits that depend on the investment  performance of these investment
         options can decrease or increase.

(4)      The coverage  allows you to allocate all or part of your  premiums 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.

(5)      As life  insurance,  generally  your  beneficiary  will owe no  Federal
         income  tax on the death  proceeds.  Depending  on  whether  the policy
         satisfies a test  outlined in the Internal  Revenue Code (the  "Code"),
         distributions taken by the owner while the insured person is alive will
         be treated  differently  for Federal income tax purposes.  This test is
         commonly known as the "7-pay test". In general,  this test compares the
         amount of premiums paid to the amount of insurance  purchased.  If your
         policy  "passes" the 7-pay test,  it will not be treated as a "modified
         endowment  contract" or "MEC" for income tax purposes.  As a "non-MEC",
         most distributions  while the insured is alive, such as any withdrawals
         and a surrender,  are taxable, but amounts are deemed to be distributed
         first from any tax basis in the policy.  Also, loans from such a policy
         are not treated as taxable  distributions.  However, if at any time the
         policy  "fails" the 7-pay test, the policy must be treated as a MEC for
         income tax purposes. If and when that occurs,  subsequent distributions
         from a policy are deemed for tax  purposes  to come first from any gain
         in  the   policy,   and  loans  and   assignments   are  deemed  to  be
         distributions.  Whether  or not a  policy  is  considered  a  MEC,  any
         distribution  deemed a  distribution  of gain is  taxable  as  ordinary
         income.

                          (continued on the next page)
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.

   
THESE  SECURITIES  HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR  DISAPPROVED  BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION OR
ANY STATE  SECURITIES  COMMISSION  PASSED UPON THE  ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS
PROSPECTUS.  ANY  REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL  OFFENSE.  PLEASE
READ THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE CURRENT PROSPECTUSES FOR THE UNDERLYING FUNDS. KEEP
IT FOR FUTURE  REFERENCE.

Prospectus  Dated:  January  4, 1999 
    


(6)      During the first ten (10) years the  coverage  has a limited  amount of
         liquidity.  During that  period,  you can only make  withdrawals  under
         certain medically-related circumstances or from premium amounts made in
         excess of  certain  limits.  However,  you can  access a portion of the
         policy's  value  through  policy  loans using a portion of its value as
         collateral.  Assuming  that the policy is not treated as a MEC,  policy
         loans  receive  favorable  tax  treatment.  Policy loans are  currently
         available at no net cost. Loans can have an impact on benefits that can
         be positive or negative.

                                   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 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.

ASSESSABLE  PREMIUM is the portion of Premiums  paid against which we assess any
applicable contingent deferred sales charge upon a surrender of the Policy.

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, less
any unpaid charges 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 any unpaid  charges  due 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 due to Debt and any
unpaid charges due and after addition of any interest due pursuant to law.

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

EXCHANGE  POLICY is a  Policy:  (a)  purchased  as part of an  exchange  of life
insurance  policies that does not incur any current taxation pursuant to Section
1035 of the Code or any  successor  provision;  and (b) into which the surrender
value of one or more prior  policies is contributed to the Policy in conjunction
with such exchange.

EXEMPT  PREMIUM is the portion of Premiums  paid against  which we do not assess

is credited a fixed rate of interest.

GUARANTEED  MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT is the minimum  amount we guarantee is payable
as a result of the Insured's death,  before we assess any unpaid charges due and
any  reduction for Debt.  However,  this benefit does not apply once the Insured
reaches Age 100, or if there are two Insureds,  when the younger Insured reaches
Age 100 or would have  reached  that Age if the younger  Insured dies before the
older Insured.

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

Insured's  death pursuant to the applicable test we apply in accordance with the
Code, prior to any reduction for Debt.

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 AMOUNT AT RISK is the difference  between the Death  Benefit,  discounted to
the beginning of the applicable Policy Month at the rate of 4% per year, and the
Account Value.

NET PREMIUM is a Premium less the deduction for premium  taxes,  "DAC" taxes and
any amount deductible from Premium for an optional additional benefit should you
elect such benefits.

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  Minimum
Required  Death  Benefit,  assuming the current  Minimum  Required Death Benefit
would not change;  and (b) future benefits and charges using assumptions  about:
(i) growth of Account Value so that it would equal the current Minimum  Required
Death Benefit as of the Policy  Anniversary  the Insured would turn Age 100; and
(ii) charges,  as provided  pursuant to the Code. The Net Single Premium depends
on the attained age, gender (where permitted) and risk class of the Insured. The

                           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,  Additional Premiums,  Keeping the
Policy In Force, 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 who also may need access to some or all of the Cash Value to meet
supplemental  retirement income needs or for emergency expenses.  For estate tax
purposes,  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,  particularly  if, at any point,  the purchaser  believes the
Cash Value may not be needed as a resource for other  purposes.  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 and any unpaid
charges due from the Death Benefit.  We then add any interest amount required by
law.

[5]  .....What  is the Death  Benefit?  The Death  Benefit  depends on the Death
Benefit option you select.  Initially you select an option on your  Application.
The Death  Benefits  options  are Option A (Level) and Option B  (Variable),  as
discussed below.

[6]  .....How is the Death  Benefit  determined  under  Option A? Under Option A
(Level),  the Death  Benefit on the Policy Date is the Specified  Amount.  After
that,  the Death  Benefit is the highest of the  Specified  Amount,  the Minimum
Required Death Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit,  each as of the
date we receive due proof of death.

[7]  .....How is the Death  Benefit  determined  under  Option B? Under Option B
(Variable),  the Death Benefit on the Policy Date is the  Specified  Amount plus
the Account  Value.  After that, the Death Benefit is the highest of: the sum of
the Account Value plus the Specified Amount,  the Minimum Required Death Benefit
and the  Guaranteed  Minimum Death  Benefit,  each as of the date we receive due
proof of death.

[8]  .....Is  there any age limit on the Death  Benefit?  Yes.  On a single life
Policy,  the Death  Benefit  equals  the  Account  Value on or after the  Policy
Anniversary  the  Insured  attains Age 100.  On a joint life  Policy,  the Death
Benefit equals the Account Value on or after the Policy  Anniversary the younger
Insured, attains or, if that person is deceased, would have been, Age 100.

[9]  .....What is the  Specified  Amount?  The  Specified  Amount is a measuring
device we use in determining  the Death Benefit before the Insured's Age 100. On
your Application, you indicate the Specified Amount you want us to issue. We may
issue  that  amount,  or we may offer to issue a lower  Specified  Amount if the
Insured(s)  do(es) not qualify  for the amount you seek.  The  Specified  Amount
remains  level unless you request an increase or decrease and we agree to such a
change.  Under certain  circumstances,  a partial withdrawal may also reduce the
Specified Amount, as discussed in the section on Partial Withdrawals.

[10] .....What is the Minimum Required Death Benefit? The Minimum 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 Minimum Required Death Benefit is determined by treating the
Account  Value as if it were a Net Single  Premium.  We  determine  the  Minimum
Required Death Benefit by multiplying  the Account Value by a factor that varies
by the attained Age, gender (where permitted) and risk class of the Insured,  as
shown in Appendix B. The gender and risk class of the Insured do not change,  so
the only  element  that changes the factor after the Policy Date is the aging of
the  Insured.  The  following  are  representative  examples  of the factors for
different Ages,  genders and risk classes,  as well as the amount of the Minimum
Required Death Benefit if the Account Value were $100,000.

         Female, Age 45, not a tobacco user:
         The factor is 3.410489.  $100,000 multiplied by 3.410489 results in a 
         Minimum Required Death Benefit of $341,048.90.

         Male, Age 50, a tobacco user:
         The factor is 2.194450.  $100,000 multiplied by 2.194450 results in a
         Minimum Required Death Benefit of $219,445.00.

         Female, Age 55, a tobacco user:
         The factor is 2.298001.  $100,000 multiplied by 2.298001 results in a 
         Minimum Required Death Benefit of $229,800.10.

         Male, Age 60, not a tobacco user:
         The factor is 1.919420.  $100,000 multiplied by 1.919420 results in a 
         Minimum Required Death Benefit of $191,942.

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

The Insured is a woman,  Age 60, for whom  coverage  was issued at her Age 50 in
the "not a tobacco  user" risk  class.  On the  Valuation  Day before the Policy
Anniversary  following  the  Insured's  60th  birthday,  the  Account  Value  is
$100,000. The Minimum Required Death Benefit as required under the Code for this
Insured's age,  gender,  risk class and Account Value is $100,000  multiplied by
the  applicable  factor of 2.217943,  which results in a Minimum  Required Death
Benefit  of  $221,794.30.  For the sake of this  example,  assume  that the next
Valuation Day, which is the Policy Anniversary after the Insured's 60th birthday
(the day the Insured turns Age 60 for purposes of the Policy), the Account Value
remains $100,000. At the higher Age of 60, the Minimum Required Death Benefit on
the Policy  Anniversary  is  $100,000  multiplied  by the  applicable  factor of
2.153574, which results in a Minimum Required Death Benefit of $215,357.40.

We use a standard  insurance industry method to determine the applicable factors
for Policies with two Insureds.

[11] .....What else can affect the Minimum  Required Death Benefit?  The Minimum
Required Death Benefit changes as the Account Value changes. This is because the
Minimum  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 60, for whom coverage was issued at her Age 50
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  Minimum  Required  Death  Benefit as of that
         Valuation Day is $100,000  multiplied by the then applicable  factor of
         2.153574,  or  $215,357.40.  As of the next Valuation  Day,  assume the
         Account Value has grown to $100,010. The Minimum Required Death Benefit
         is $100,010 multiplied by the same factor of 2.153574, or $215,378.94.

     (b) On a  particular  Monthly  Processing  Date,  the Account  Value of the
         Policy is  $100,000.  The  Minimum  Required  Death  Benefit as of that
         Valuation Day is $100,000  multiplied by the then applicable  factor of
         2.153574,  or  $215,357.40.  As of the next Valuation  Day,  assume the
         Account  Value has  decreased to $99,990.  The Minimum  Required  Death
         Benefit  is  $99,990  multiplied  by the same  factor of  2.153574,  or
         $215,335.86.

     (c) On a  particular  Monthly  Processing  Date,  the Account  Value of the
         Policy before any partial withdrawal is $100,000.  The Minimum Required
         Death Benefit as of that  Valuation  Day is $100,000  multiplied by the
         then applicable factor of 2.153574,  or $215,357.40.  On that same day,
         assume $20,000 is taken as a partial withdrawal, and the $25.00 partial
         withdrawal  transaction fee is charged.  Immediately  after the partial
         withdrawal, the Minimum Required Death Benefit is $79,975 multiplied by
         the same factor of 2.153574, or $172,232.08.

[12]  .....What is the Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit?  We use the Guaranteed
Minimum   Death  Benefit  to  determine   the  Death   Proceeds   under  certain
circumstances.  Under Option A, we use the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit when
it is higher  than both the  Specified  Amount and the  Minimum  Required  Death
Benefit.  Under Option B, we use the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit when it is
higher than both the sum of the Account Value plus the Specified Amount, and the
Minimum  Required  Death Benefit.  There is no Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit
beyond Age 100 of the Insured,  or if the policy terminates before the Insured's
death. The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is determined as follows:

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

     (b) After the  Policy  Date and until the  first  Policy  Anniversary,  the
         Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the total of all Premiums paid less
         any partial withdrawals.

     (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 total of
         all Premiums paid less all partial withdrawals;  and (2) is the highest
         "Anniversary  Value."  "Anniversary  Value" is the Account Value on any
         Policy Anniversary less all subsequent partial withdrawals.

     (d) On or after the "target date", the Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit is
         the higher of (1) or (2), where:  (1) is the total of all Premiums paid
         less all partial  withdrawals and (2) is the highest Anniversary Value,
         as defined  above in (c),  as of the  "target  date,"  less all partial
         withdrawals  after the "target  date." If there are two  Insureds,  the
         Guaranteed  Minimum  Death Benefit ends 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.

     (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 total of all Premiums paid less all partial withdrawals.

     (f) If the  Policy is issued for two (2)  Insureds,  the  "target  date" 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.  This also  applies  if, as of the Policy  Date,  the  younger
         Insured is younger than Age 75.

[13]  .....Would  you  please  provide  examples  of how the  Death  Benefit  is
determined?  Below are six examples of how the Death Benefit is determined. Each
example  assumes the death claim  becomes  payable  exactly on the stated Policy
Anniversary.  Values shown are  hypothetical,  including  the amount of Premiums
paid, the Account Values shown as of the date the death claim is payable and the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit then applicable.

The first three examples illustrate death benefit Option A. The first example is
a situation where the Death Benefit equals the Specified  Amount.  The second is
an example where the Death Benefit is the Minimum  Required Death  Benefit.  The
third is an example  where the Death  Benefit is the  Guaranteed  Minimum  Death
Benefit.

Examples four through six illustrate  death benefit Option B. The fourth example
is a situation where the Death Benefit is the Specified  Amount plus the Account
Value.  The fifth is an example where the Death Benefit is the Minimum  Required
Death Benefit.  The sixth example is a situation  where the Death Benefit is the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. In reviewing the examples for Option B, please
remember  that the sum of the Specified and the Account Value is compared to the
Minimum Required Death Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.

The  third  and sixth  examples  assume  that  positive  investment  performance
significantly  increased  Account Value,  which was then followed by a period of
substantial negative investment performance.

Each example  assumes that we issue a Policy to a 50 year old man who  qualifies
for the No  Tobacco  use class,  we issued  the  Policy 6 months  after his 50th
birthday,  the Policy has a Specified  Amount of $100,000 and there have been no
withdrawals.  Please  remember that these examples show the Death  Benefit,  and
that  the  Death  Proceeds  equal  the  Death  Benefit  reduced  by any Debt and
increased by any required interest.

</TABLE>

[14] .....Does  choosing  between Options A and B affect anything other than the
Death Benefit? Yes. Choosing Option A or Option B affects the Net Amount at Risk
which will have an impact on the amount  you pay in cost of  insurance  charges.
Option B initially has a higher Net Amount at Risk which will result in a higher
cost of insurance  charge. It may also have an impact on what you might pay upon
surrender.  How these  charges  work are  discussed  in more detail below in the
section on Costs.  An increase in charges has a negative impact on the growth of
your Account Value. A decrease in charges has a positive impact on the growth of
your Account Value.

[15]  .....Who  chooses  which  option to use?  You  choose  the  option on your
Application  for a Policy.  If you do not elect a Death  Benefit  option on your
Application  we will review the  Application  to determine  if our  underwriting
requirements are met.  However,  we will require you to elect either Option A or
Option B prior to issuing a Policy.

[16] .....May I change the Death Benefit option or the Specified  Amount?  While
the Insured is alive,  you may request to change the Death Benefit  option or to
increase or decrease the Specified Amount to meet changing needs or goals.

Any change to the Death  Benefit  option is subject  to our  acceptance  and our
rules, which include, but are not limited to the following:

     1. Any change must take effect after the first Policy Year.

     2. We only permit one such change per Policy Year.

     3. We must receive the request In Writing at our Office.

     4.  We may require  satisfactory  evidence of  insurability  for any change
         that prospectively increases the Net Amount at Risk.

     5.  If evidence of insurability is required, we will not accept the request
         if the  Insured(s)  is over our then current  maximum age for issuing a
         Policy.

     6.  We may require you to sign an  acknowledgment  that you  understand the
         impact or potential  impact of the change on the tax  treatment of your
         Policy, particularly if the change results or may result in your Policy
         becoming a MEC. Changing between Option A and Option B also may have an
         impact on whether a Policy is treated as a MEC.  Therefore,  you should
         consult with a competent tax advisor before requesting a change.

     7.  If we grant  any such  request,  it will  take  effect  on the  Monthly
         Processing Day occurring on or immediately  following the date we agree
         to such a change.

     8.  On the date the  change  takes  effect,  there will be no change in the
         Death  Benefit.  That means that, if you change from Option A to Option
         B, the Specified Amount will be reduced.

Any change to the Specified Amount is subject to our rules,  which include,  but
are not limited to the seven rules outlined above for changing the Death Benefit
option, plus the following additional rules:

     1.  The amount of any increase or decrease may not be less than $5,000.

     2.  The  Specified  Amount  after any decrease may not be less than $50,000
         (single life Policy) or $100,000 (joint life Policy).

     3.  No decrease in the Specified  Amount is permitted during the first five
         Policy  Years or  during  the five  calendar  years  subsequent  to any
         increase in Specified Amount.

[17] .....What  other parts of the Policy are affected if I change the Specified
Amount?  Increasing  the Specified  Amount  initially  results in a higher Death
Benefit, unless the increased Specified Amount would then not exceed the Minimum
Required Death Benefit or the Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit.  When the Death
Benefit is increased in this way, it initially increases the Net Amount at Risk,
and therefore,  the cost of insurance  charge.  Decreasing the Specified  Amount
generally has the opposite  effects.  Changing the Specified Amount could affect
the  maximum  Premiums  you may pay, as well as the  Maximum  Annual  Assessable
Premium.  Also, if your policy is not deemed to be a MEC, changing the Specified
Amount may affect how much Premium you may  subsequently  pay without the Policy
becoming a MEC.

[18] .....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, rather than the
Beneficiaries,  may  choose  the  method of  payment  from  among  those we make
available if you let us know In Writing before the Insured's  death how you want
the Death Proceeds to be paid.

                          Account Value and Cash Value

[19] .....What is the Account Value?  The Account Value is the value of a Policy
while the Insured is alive  before any  deduction  for any  contingent  deferred
sales  charge  and  before any  reduction  for any Debt.  It is the total of the
Account Value allocated to each  Sub-account and any Fixed  Allocations 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.

[20] .....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.

[21]  .....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.

[22]  .....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.

[23]  .....How  does  American  Skandia  determine the Account Value in the Loan
Account?  As of the date of this  Prospectus,  we currently  credit  interest to
Account  Value in the Loan  Account  at the  rate of 6.0% per  year,  compounded
yearly.  However,  to the extent permitted by law, we retain the right to credit
less, but never less than 5.5% per year, compounded yearly.

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

[25]  .....Do I have to  maintain a minimum  Cash  Value?  There must  always be
enough Cash Value so that,  on any Monthly  Processing  Date,  the Cash Value is
sufficient to pay for the charges then due. If the Cash Value is insufficient to
pay for the charges,  we send you a notice giving you a 61-day "grace period" to
send us a required  amount.  If the Cash  Value at the end of the grace  period,
after deduction for all previously  unpaid charges,  is zero or less, the Policy
ends without value, unless the guaranteed  continuation  provision applies. This
provision is discussed in the section "Keeping the Policy In Force".

                               Cash Value Credits

[26] .....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.  The Cash Value  trigger  depends on the
total  amount of  Premiums  paid.  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.

[27] .....What is the Cash Value trigger?  The Cash Value trigger is 200% of the
Premiums you pay.  Please note,  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 and any Debt.

[28] .....How much is added to my Account Value? The Cash Value Credit,  if any,
added to your Account  Value  equals  0.50% of the Cash Value on the  applicable
Policy Anniversary. The following examples illustrate how this works:

     (a) Assume that the total amount of Premiums  paid is $70,000.  Assume that
         on the 14th Policy  Anniversary  the Cash Value is  $150,000.  The Cash
         Value trigger is 200% of $70,000,  which is $140,000.  The amount to be
         added to the Account Value is 0.50% of $150,000, which is $750.

     (b) For the same  Policy,  assume  that the Cash  Value on the 15th  Policy
         Anniversary is $115,000, 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  remains  $140,000.  Therefore,  no Cash Value
         Credit is provided on the 15th Policy Anniversary.

     (c) For the same  Policy,  assume  that the Cash  Value on the 16th  Policy
         Anniversary is $160,000, due to a combination of investment performance
         and  repayment of the loan and loan  interest.  The Cash Value  trigger
         remains $140,000. The amount to be added is 0.50% of $160,000, which is
         $800.

[29] .....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

[30] .....What  kinds of charges are there for this Policy?  The Policy has five
(5) different kinds of charges: (1) charges we deduct from Premiums; (2) 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;  (3)
charges we deduct monthly from the Account Value and which are due in all Policy
Years to Age 100;  (4) charges we deduct  monthly  from the Account  Value for a
specified number of Policy Years; and (5) "contingent" charges,  which are those
charges  that you only pay in certain  specified  circumstances.  There also are
fees and expenses charged by the Portfolios.

[31]  .....What  charges are deducted from  Premiums?  We deduct a percentage of
each Premium in relation to state and local  premium  taxes we may incur on that
Premium, and an amount in relation to our Federal taxes. We deduct these charges
before we allocate the net amount to the investment options.

[32] .....How much is charged for premium  taxes?  The amount we charge is based
on the rates determined by state and local  governments.  In most  jurisdictions
these  rates range for 0% to 3.5% of each  Premium.  The actual  percentages  we
charge  for the  states  and the  District  of  Columbia  as of the date of this
Prospectus are found in Appendix C.

[33]  .....What is the charge in relation to the Company's  Federal  taxes?  The
Code  requires a life  insurer to  capitalize  an imputed  acquisition  expense,
thereby  increasing its tax liability over what it would be without this special
provision.  The tax  liability  created by this imputed  acquisition  expense is
sometimes  referred  to as a "deferred  acquisition  cost" tax, or "DAC" tax. To
reimburse us for this special  insurance  company tax at a rate we believe to be
reasonable in relation to the  liability,  we deduct an amount equal to 1.15% of
each Premium.

[34] .....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 risk we assume is that
cost of  insurance  charges  under the Policy will be  insufficient  to meet our
claims paying  obligations.  The expense risk we assume is that overall expenses
incurred  in issuing  and  administering  the Policy will exceed the charges and
fees stated in 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.

[35] .....What  monthly charge applies in all Policy Years to Age 100? We deduct
the cost of insurance  charge  until the Policy  Anniversary  on or  immediately
after the Insured's 100th birthday. For Policies with two Insureds,  this is the
Policy Anniversary on or after the 100th birthday of the younger Insured,  or if
that person is deceased,  what would have been that Insured's 100th birthday. We
take this charge from your Account Value each Monthly Processing Day.

[36]  .....How  much is the  cost  of  insurance  charge?  The  monthly  cost of
insurance  charge is  determined  by  multiplying  the current  monthly  cost of
insurance  rate by the Net  Amount  at  Risk.  To that  amount  we add a cost of
insurance fee. The current cost of insurance rates and cost of insurance fee are
subject to change;  however,  the combination will not exceed the product of the
guaranteed  maximum cost of  insurance  charge  multiplied  by the Net Amount at
Risk. The cost of insurance charge is not a constant dollar amount.

Please note that in  calculating  the Net Amount at Risk, the Death Benefit that
would then apply is the  highest of the  Minimum  Required  Death  Benefit,  the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit or, the Specified Amount (for Option A), or the
sum of the  Specified  Amount plus the Account Value (for Option B). The cost of
insurance  rates  increase  as the  Insured  ages,  although  the  rates may not
increase  each Policy Year.  We reserve the right to vary the rates per thousand
of Net Amount at Risk based on either the Net Amount at Risk or on the Specified
Amount.

We reserve the right to adjust  current  monthly cost of  insurance  rates by an
underwriting  factor. As of the date of this Prospectus,  we were not making any
such adjustments.

The guaranteed  maximum monthly cost of insurance  charges for Policies with one
Insured are shown in Appendix D. The current  monthly cost of insurance rates as
of the date of this  Prospectus  for  Policies  with one  Insured  are  shown in
Appendix E. Corresponding  rates for two proposed Insureds are available from us
upon request.  A detailed  explanation  of how we calculate the current  monthly
cost of insurance charges and a sample calculation are provided in Appendix F.

[37]  .....What  is  the  guaranteed  maximum  cost  of  insurance  charge?  The
guaranteed  maximum  cost of  insurance  charge is  different  at each Age.  The
guaranteed  maximum cost of insurance  charge  depends on the risk class of each
Insured.  We base  the  guaranteed  maximum  charges  on the sex  distinct  1980
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Ultimate Mortality  Smoker/Non-Smoker Table, age
last birthday.  However,  if required by law, unisex charges will apply,  and we
will use a unisex variation of that table.

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

[39] .....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.

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?"

[40] .....What are the contingent  charges?  The contingent charges are: (1) the
contingent  deferred  sales  charge;  (2) the transfer  fee; and (3) the partial
withdrawal transaction fee.

[41] .....How much is the contingent  deferred sales charge, and when must I pay
it? The  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is a percentage  of the  Assessable
Premium  paid.  It is charged if you  surrender  the Policy during the first ten
(10) Policy Years, 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 that we assess against  Assessable  Premium upon a surrender are
as follows:

                         ---------------------- -------------------
                               Policy Year         Percentage (%)

[42] .....How does  American  Skandia  determine  the  Assessable  Premium?  The
Assessable Premium equals the total Premiums less the total Exempt Premiums.

[43]  .....What are Exempt  Premiums?  Exempt  Premiums are the amounts  against
which we will not charge a contingent  deferred  sales charge upon  surrender or
withdrawal.

[44] .....How does American  Skandia  determine which Premium amounts are Exempt
Premiums?  Exempt  Premiums are that portion of Premiums paid in any Policy Year
that exceeds the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium.

[45]  .....What is the Maximum  Annual  Assessable  Premium?  The Maximum Annual
Assessable  Premium is an amount per thousand of Specified Amount. The amount is
cumulative  from year to year. For example,  if your Maximum  Annual  Assessable
Premium is $5,000 and you make a Premium  payment of $4,000 in Policy Year 1, in
Policy Year 2 your Maximum Annual Assessable  Premium is $5,000 plus $1,000 from
Policy Year 1, or $6,000.  The Maximum Annual Assessable  Premium depends on the
Age, risk class and, where permitted,  gender of the Insured. The Maximum Annual
Assessable  Premium is increased if you increase the  Specified  Amount,  and is
decreased if you  decrease the  Specified  Amount.  We have  provided a table in
Appendix G of the  Maximum  Annual  Assessable  Premium  for  Policies  with one
Insured and two Insureds.

[46] .....Please  provide examples of what it would cost to surrender the Policy
The  following  are two  hypothetical  examples  of how  much it  would  cost to
surrender the Policy. In each example,  it is assumed that neither the Specified
Amount nor the Death Benefit option is changed after the Policy Date.

         (1)  In this first  example,  assume  that the Policy is a New  Policy.
              Assume also: (a) the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is $10,000;
              (b) $10,000 of Premium was paid in each of Policy  Years 1 through
              5, for a total of $50,000;  (c) the Policy is being surrendered in
              Policy Year 6; and (d) at the time of surrender, the Account Value
              is $75,000.

              Given these  facts,  the  Assessable  Premium  equals the Premiums
              paid.  No amount  paid in any Policy  Year  exceeded  the  Maximum
              Annual Assessable  Premium.  The contingent  deferred sales charge
              for a surrender in Policy Year 6 is 5% of the  Assessable  Premium
              (5% of $50,000 or $2,500). The amount payable upon surrender would
              be $75,000 less $2,500, which equals $72,500

         (2)  In this  second  example,  assume  that the Policy is an  Exchange
              Policy.  Assume also: (a) the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is
              $10,000; (b) the proceeds of the exchange were $50,000,  which was
              the initial Premium,  and $5,000 of subsequent Premium was paid in
              the second  Policy Year;  (c) the Policy is being  surrendered  in
              Policy Year 6; and (d) at the time of surrender, the Account Value
              is $85,000.

              Given  these  facts,  the  Assessable  Premium  is less  than  the
              Premiums paid. The amount of Premium paid in the first Policy Year
              over  $10,000 is Exempt  Premium.  Since  $50,000  was paid in the
              first Policy Year,  the amount of the Exempt  Premium paid in that
              Policy Year was $50,000 minus $10,000, which is $40,000. There was
              no Exempt Premium in the second Policy Year,  since $5,000 is less
              than the  applicable  Maximum  Annual  Assessable  Premium for the
              second Policy Year,  which is $10,000.  Since there has not been a
              change  to the  Specified  Amount  or Death  Benefit  option,  the
              percentage  to be  assessed  will be assessed  against  $55,000 of
              Premium less $40,000 of Exempt Premium,  which equals $15,000. The
              contingent  deferred sales charge for a surrender in Policy Year 6
              is 5% of the  Assessable  Premium  (5% of  $15,000  or $750).  The
              amount payable upon surrender would be $85,000 less $750, which is
              $84,250.

[47] .....Are  there any situations in which the sales charge and the contingent
deferred sales charge are reduced or  eliminated?  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.

[48]  .....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.

[49] .....How much is the partial  withdrawal  transaction  fee, and when must I
pay it? We charge $25.00 as a transaction fee for each partial withdrawal unless
the partial withdrawal qualifies as a medically-related  withdrawal. This amount
is deducted separately from your Account Value.

[50] .....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.

[51] .....What are the charges for the Portfolios?  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

   
[52]  .....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 older than Age 80 for single life cases and younger than Age 18
or older than Age 80 for joint life cases.  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.

[53]  .....When do I pay the initial  Premium?  You may submit  Premium with the
Application if the Insured meets certain medical underwriting criteria.

If any portion of any Premium is to be  received as part of a  replacement  of a
life insurance policy (whether or not a tax-free exchange), endowment or annuity
policy  then we must  receive  all our  requirements  In  Writing  for all  such
replacements  as of the same date. This date must be prior to the date we decide
to issue a Policy. Replacements are subject to our acceptance.

If we do 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 let you know at that time the minimum  and  maximum  amounts we
accept as the initial  Premium.  We will not issue a Policy  until we receive at
least the minimum initial Premium at our Office.

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.

[54]  .....What is the initial  Premium?  There is not a fixed amount of initial
Premium.  Instead,  we accept a range of initial Premium between a minimum and a
maximum.  The  minimum  and  maximum  depends  on the  Specified  Amount and the
Insured's age, risk class and gender, where permitted, as of the Policy Date.

[55]  .....What is the maximum  initial  Premium I can pay? The maximum  initial
Premium we accept equals the maximum amount that can be paid without  increasing
the Death Benefit on the Policy Date.  However, if you submit any Premium before
we have determined  whether you meet our requirements  for issuing a Policy,  we
will not accept more than $500,000 without prior Home Office approval.

[56] .....What is the minimum  initial Premium I can pay? The minimum Premium we
generally  accept as an initial  Premium is one  fourth  (1/4th) of the  Maximum
Annual Assessable Premium. We may accept less under certain circumstances,  such
as when you authorize  periodic  withdrawals from an account you may have with a
bank or other  financial  institution in amounts  designed to  cumulatively  pay
amounts equal to at least one fourth (1/4th) of the MEC Threshold Amount.

[57]  .....Will  you  accept  my  initial  Premium  if it causes my Policy to be
treated as a MEC?  We will not apply the portion of an initial  Premium  that we
believe would require us to treat your Policy as a MEC unless you acknowledge In
Writing  before the Policy Date that we will treat the Policy as a MEC. If we do
not receive such notification,  we will return to you the difference between the
amount  you  submitted  and the  amount we will  apply as the  initial  Premium.
However,  this will not apply in the case of an Exchange Policy where we receive
information we believe  requires us to treat the Exchange Policy as a MEC in any
case.

[58] .....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) no Insured is under age 18; 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. 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 lasts no longer than 90 days.

[59]  .....What is the temporary  insurance  benefit?  If the Insured dies while
temporary insurance is in effect, we pay the Beneficiary the lesser of the Death
Benefit  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.

[60]  .....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) the Premiums paid,
or (2) your Account Value plus an amount that equals any premium tax and DAC tax
deducted and any charges deducted from your Account Value.  However, if you have
submitted a "return  waiver," we will  return only your  Account  Value plus any
premium and DAC taxes deducted and any charges deducted from your Account Value.
This may be more or less than the Premiums paid.

[61]  .....How  and when is my  initial  Premium  invested?  We invest  your Net
Premium,  which is the Premium less the charges  deducted  from each Premium and
any charge for optional additional benefits (should you elect such benefits). We
invest the  initial  Net Premium on the Policy  Date.  You can  request  that we
allocate the initial Net Premium using one or more variable  investment  options
and/or a Fixed  Allocation.  However,  we  initially  invest the  portion of the
initial Net Premium that you indicate you want  invested in variable  investment
options in the AST Money Market Sub-account, unless you submit a "return waiver"
In Writing before the Policy Date,  where permitted by law. This also applies to
any additional Premium we receive during the "free-look" period discussed below.
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.

[62] .....How do I choose how much of this type of life  insurance to buy, which
Death  Benefit  Option to use and how much  Premium  to pay?  The Death  Benefit
Option,  Specified  Amount and the program of Premium payments that is right for
your needs  depends on your  particular  circumstances  and the  reasons you are
buying a Policy. You and your financial representative should discuss your needs
and financial goals before applying for a Policy.

                           Variable Investment Options

[63]  .....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, 1997.  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.

                    securities.

                               Additional Premiums

[64] When may I contribute  additional  Premiums and how much may I pay? You may
send us  additional  Premiums at any time before the Insured's Age 100 and while
the  Insured is alive  unless the amount you have paid  to-date  equals the then
current maximum we permit.  The amount you may pay is flexible within the limits
discussed below.

[65] When do you allocate additional Premiums? We allocate Net Premium resulting
from an additional Premium payment to the investment options as of the Valuation
Period we receive that Premium at our Office.

[66] How do you allocate  additional  Premiums among the investment  options? We
allocate Net Premiums  resulting from additional  Premium payments  according to
your most recent  instructions to us. If you are participating in any allocation
programs we agree to support,  such as any  program of periodic  rebalancing  of
your Account Value among various investment options, we will allocate additional
Premiums  in  accordance  with  such  a  program  unless  we  receive  alternate
instructions.

[67] What is the most I may pay in total  while I own a Policy?  The maximum you
may pay changes.  At any particular  time, it is the amount which, at that time,
would not cause the Death  Benefit  to  increase  by more than the amount of the
Premium.  We reserve the right to require new evidence  satisfactory  to us that
the  Insured  meets our  underwriting  standards  before we agree to accept such
Premium.  We  discuss  in the  section  on  Loans  what  we do if  there  is any
outstanding Debt.

[68] What is the least amount I may pay at any one time?  Unless you must make a
payment to keep the Policy in force, as discussed  below,  the minimum amount we
accept as an  additional  Premium  depends on whether you have  arranged to make
periodic  withdrawals  from a bank or other  financial  institution  ($100),  or
whether you make additional Premium payments directly ($500).

[69] Will you accept an additional  Premium if it causes my Policy to be treated
as a MEC?  We will not apply the portion of any  Premium  that we believe  would
require  us to  treat  your  Policy  as a MEC if it was  not  previously  a MEC.
However, if you provide us with a notice In Writing that you understand that the
additional Premium will require us to treat your Policy as a MEC, we will accept
the Premium.  If you do not give us such notice,  we will return the  difference
between the amount you submitted and any amount we apply as a Premium.

[70] How much may I pay as additional Premium if I don't want the Policy treated
as a MEC? If your Policy is not being treated as a MEC, the amount of additional
Premium you can pay at any time without your Policy  subsequently  being treated
as a MEC depends on the following factors:

         (a) The  Policy  Year in which  you want to make  the  payment  and the
Premiums  previously paid: The maximum additional Premium you can pay equals the
cumulative  MEC  Threshold  Amount for the  current  Policy  Year plus the prior
Policy Years,  less the cumulative  total amount  previously  paid. For example,
assume that as of the Policy Date,  the MEC Threshold  Amount was $10,000.  Also
assume that you gave us $8,000 in each of the first three Policy  Years.  In the
fourth  Policy  Year,  the maximum  premium you can pay without the Policy being
treated as a MEC equals 4 X $10,000 ($40,000) minus 3 X $8,000 ($24,000),  which
equals $16,000.

         (b) The Specified Amount as of the time you make the payment:  How much
you may pay  without  your  Policy  being  treated  as a MEC  changes  after any
increase or decrease to the Specified Amount. You may pay more after an increase
to the Specified  Amount,  subject to the maximum Premium rules noted above. You
may be able to pay  less in  additional  Premium,  or may not be able to pay any
further  additional Premium after a change to the Specified Amount if you do not
want your Policy  treated as a MEC.  Whether you may pay  anything  further will
depend on the extent of the reduction to the Specified Amount.

         (c) The amount of any proceeds contributed from any prior policy if you
purchased an Exchange  Policy:  Any proceeds  contributed to an Exchange  Policy
reduce the MEC Threshold Amount.

                           Keeping the Policy In Force

[71] What is the least  amount I must pay so that the  Policy  doesn't  end?  We
cannot  know in advance  any  minimum  amount  that will be required to keep the
Policy from ending  without  value.  This is because:  (1) the charges we deduct
each month are based on your Account  Value,  which may increase or decrease due
to the  performance  of the  investment  options;  (2) we  retain  the  right to
decrease  or  increase  the  current  cost of  insurance  rates,  subject to the
guaranteed maximums in the Policy; and (3) you may request and we may agree to a
change in the Death  Benefit  Option  and/or the  Specified  Amount.  If, on any
Monthly  Processing  Day,  your Cash Value is  insufficient  to pay the  current
deductions,  a 61-day "grace period"  begins unless the guaranteed  continuation
provision is then applicable, as discussed below. If you enter the grace period,
we will  send you a notice  of how  much you have to pay  before  the end of the
grace period to keep the Policy in force.

[72] Can the Policy end because of poor investment performance? The Policy could
enter the grace period because of poor investment  performance combined with the
deduction  of the Policy's  fees and charges.  If that were to occur and, by the
end of the grace  period,  there was not enough  Cash Value to deduct the unpaid
charges,  the Policy would end,  unless the  guaranteed  continuation  provision
applies.

[73] What is the guaranteed continuation provision?  During the first ten Policy
Years, you may qualify for a guaranteed continuation provision if: (1) the total
amount of Premium  you have paid is not less than a  specified  minimum for each
Policy Month times the number of Policy  Months  since the Policy Date;  and (2)
there is no Debt.  We call the  specified  minimum  for each  Policy  Month  the
"monthly  continuation  amount".  This  amount is 1/24th of the  Maximum  Annual
Assessable  Premium.  If you qualify for continuation  under this provision,  we
guarantee  that your  Policy will not enter into a grace  period  until the 10th
Policy  Anniversary.  For example,  if the Maximum Annual Assessable  Premium is
$12,000, then the monthly continuation amount is $500. If your Policy was in its
20th Policy Month, the sum of the monthly continuation amounts would be $10,000.
Therefore,  for purposes of this example, the guaranteed  continuation provision
would  apply in the 20th Policy  Month if you had paid at least  $10,000 to that
point, and would apply in the 21st Policy Month if you had paid at least $10,500
up to the 21st Policy  Month,  assuming  there is no Debt. We adjust the monthly
continuation  amount  going  forward  after  any  increase  or  decrease  to the
Specified Amount in the first 10 Policy Years.

The Death  Benefit  while the Policy is kept in force by this  provision  is the
Death  Benefit  in  effect as of the  Monthly  Processing  Day the grace  period
otherwise would have begun.

                        Transfers and Allocation Services

[74] 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.

[75] 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.

[76] 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.

[77] What allocation  services does American Skandia provide?  We support dollar
cost averaging and static rebalancing.


                                      Loans

[78] When can I take a loan? We offer loans using  Account Value as  collateral.
Where  permitted  by law,  we reserve  the right to limit the number of loans in
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 Policy  Date we will  establish  a loan equal to the  outstanding
indebtedness on previous life insurance exchanged for a Policy.

[79] Is this type of loan tax-free?  A loan is not treated as a distribution and
does not result in any taxable  income unless,  for any reason,  we believe your
Policy must be treated as a MEC.

[80] How much is  available  for a loan?  You can receive  loans equal to 90% of
your current Account Value less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge.
At the time you take any loan,  the amount then  available for a new loan is the
maximum otherwise  available less any Debt. The minimum amount you may borrow is
$1,000.

[81] 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.
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.  Because a loan can impact the Account  Value,  it
may also have an impact on the Minimum Required Death Benefit and, possibly, the
Death Benefit.

[82] 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.

[83] Does Account Value in the Loan Account earn interest? We credit interest to
Account Value in the Loan Account.  We currently  credit interest at the rate of
6.0% per year,  compounded  yearly,  to the Account Value maintained in the Loan
Account.  We may change  this rate,  but it will not be less than 5.5% per year,
compounded yearly.

[84] 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.

[85] When must I repay the loan?  You are not  required  to repay the loan while
the Insured is alive, except if you request reinstatement if the Policy lapses.

[86] 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.

[87] What  happens  if I repay any  portion  of the loan?  The amount of Debt is
reduced by the amount of any loan repayment.  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.

[88] May I borrow from the Policy to make Premium  payments?  We will not accept
instructions  to  borrow  from  your  Policy  and use the  loan to make  Premium
payments.

[89] If I have an outstanding loan and send in money, do you use it to repay the
loan or do you consider it a Premium payment?  We treat such funds as Premium or
loan  repayment  in  accordance  with  your  instructions,  to the  extent  such
instructions comply with limitations such as the then applicable maximum Premium
for the Policy.  If you send us funds and do not specify whether the money is to
be used as a Premium or to repay a loan, we treat the money as a Premium payment
to the extent such amount does not exceed the maximum  Premium then allowed.  We
will return to you any amount that exceeds the maximum Premium then allowed.

                               Partial Withdrawals

[90] When can I make a partial  withdrawal?  We allow partial  withdrawals while
the Insured is alive, subject to the following limitations:

         (a) In the first ten Policy  Years,  we permit a partial  withdrawal if
such a withdrawal  meets the  requirements for a  medically-related  waiver,  as
described in the section "Medically Related Waiver".

         (b) After the tenth Policy Year, you may take up to the maximum partial
withdrawal amount as discussed below.

         (c) At any time,  you may  withdraw  amounts that  cumulatively  do not
exceed the total of any Exempt  Premiums  less the  Exempt  Premiums  previously
withdrawn.

         (d) No partial withdrawal may be less than $1,000.

[91]  How  much is  available  as a  partial  withdrawal?  The  maximum  partial
withdrawal  is up to 90% of the Cash  Value.  As a  consequence  of any  partial
withdrawal,  the Specified Amount must be at least a specified  minimum and your
Cash Value must be at least $1,000.  The specified minimum for Policies with one
Insured is $50,000.  The  specified  minimum for  Policies  with two Insureds is
$100,000.

[92] 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.

[93] Is there a charge for a partial withdrawal?  We charge a $25.00 transaction
fee on any partial withdrawal.

[94] Does a partial  withdrawal affect the Death Benefit?  A partial  withdrawal
will have an immediate impact on the Death Benefit.  A partial withdrawal always
reduces the Minimum  Required Death Benefit,  because the Minimum Required Death
Benefit is based on the Account  Value. A partial  withdrawal  also results in a
reduction to the Guaranteed  Minimum Death  Benefit.  If you are using Option B,
the Specified  Amount is not reduced by a partial  withdrawal.  If you are using
Option A, the  Specified  Amount is  reduced by the lesser of: (1) the amount of
the partial withdrawal,  including the amount of the transaction fee; or (2) the
extent  required  such that,  immediately  after such  reduction,  the Specified
Amount equals the higher of the recalculated  Minimum Required Death Benefit and
the recalculated Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.

If a partial withdrawal occurs on or after Age 100, it reduces the Death Benefit
by the exact  amount  of the  partial  withdrawal  plus the  partial  withdrawal
transaction  fee,  because  on or after  that Age the Death  Benefit  equals the
Account Value.

                                   Surrenders

[95] 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.

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

                            Accelerated Death Benefit

[97] 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 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, based on the ratio by which
the Death Benefit is reduced as a result of the payment of the accelerated death
benefit. We reserve the right to change the interest rate discount percentage.

[98] 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.

[99] What happens to the  remaining  benefits if American  Skandia  makes such a
payment?  If we make such a payment,  we first reduce the Policy's  benefits and
any Debt  proportionately.  For  example,  if the Death  Benefit  before  such a
payment is $200,000 and we make an accelerated Death Benefit payment of $50,000,
we reduce  the Death  Benefit by the ratio of the  payment  to the then  current
Death  Benefit,  which in this case is by 25%, to  $150,000.  We also reduce the
Maximum Annual Assessable  Premium.  You should consult a tax advisor on the tax
consequences  of such a payment.  Please refer to Appendix F for a  hypothetical
illustration of the accelerated death benefit provision.

                            Medically-Related Waiver

[100] What is a medically-related waiver? A medically-related waiver is a waiver
of the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  that  would  otherwise  apply  to a
surrender.  A  medically-related  waiver  also is the only  context  in which we
permit a partial  withdrawal in the first ten Policy Years of amounts other than
Exempt  Premium.  No  contingent  deferred  sales  charge or partial  withdrawal
transaction fee applies to such a partial withdrawal.

[101] When would American Skandia waive the contingent deferred sales charge? We
will waive the contingent  deferred  sales 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,  for at least a  specified  amount of time,  and that such
confinement started after the Issue Date.

[102] 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.  However,
once we have approved a medically-related waiver, should you choose to only take
a partial  withdrawal,  the waiver will apply to any  subsequent  withdrawals or
surrender, subject to the $500,000 cumulative limit.

[103] What happens to the  remaining  benefits if American  Skandia makes such a
payment in connection with a partial withdrawal? A partial withdrawal during the
first ten  Policy  Years for which we grant a  medically-related  waiver has the
same  impact on the  remaining  benefits  that  results  from any other  partial
withdrawal.

                                      Risks


[104] 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 of having to waive monthly
charges we would otherwise deduct under the guaranteed  continuation  provision.
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.  You bear a liquidity risk because you may not
make partial  withdrawals  except  under  limited  circumstances  and in limited
amounts during the first ten (10) Policy Years,  although  amounts are available
as loans. Any irrevocable  beneficiary  bears the risk as to the Death Proceeds,
which may be affected by investment  performance of the investment options,  the
age at which the  Insured  dies (if at such time the amount paid is based on the
Minimum  Required Death Benefit),  any loan or withdrawal  activity by the Owner
prior to the Insured's death or payment of an accelerated death benefit.


                                  Other Rights

[105] 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

[106] 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

[107] 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 taxes. What
we do provide are some brief summary  answers to the following  questions  about
Federal income taxes.

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

[109] Is gain in the Policy taxed every year? Generally,  any gain in the Policy
is not taxed currently. However, the treatment of gain when a MEC is assigned is
discussed below.

[110] How are amounts that I receive before the Insured's  death taxed?  If your
Policy  is not  being  treated  as a  MEC,  amounts  you  receive  as a  partial
withdrawal  or if you surrender the Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to
come first from your basis in the Policy. That means you may withdraw your basis
before you are  considered  to have  withdrawn any gain.  Any gain  withdrawn is
taxed as  ordinary  income.  Under  most  circumstances,  taking a loan does not
result in any income tax consequences.

[111]  Under what  circumstances  might the Policy or any  amounts  taken out be
treated  differently  for income tax  purposes?  The tax  treatment  of any life
insurance  policy  and any  distribution  while  the  Insured  is alive  will be
different if the policy is deemed:  (1) not to qualify as life  insurance  under
the Code;  or (2) to be a MEC. The Code defines life  insurance in such a way as
to limit the  amount of money that can be put into a life  insurance  policy and
receive the tax preferences provided for life insurance. We expect to administer
the Policies  such that the death  benefits  will always  receive the  treatment
accorded life insurance death benefits under the Code.  However,  the Code has a
second,  more  restrictive  limit as to how much money may be contributed if the
taxpayer is to receive all the tax benefits for life  insurance  policies  under
the  Code,  such  as  tax-free  loans  and  "first-in/first-out"   treatment  of
distributions.  If the amount contributed violates this second, more restrictive
limit,  the Policy will be treated as a MEC and will not receive many of the tax
preferences of life insurance  policies.  This second limit,  sometimes known as
the "7-pay  test",  is defined as paying  more during the first seven years of a
policy  than the amount  that would be paid if the policy  provided  for paid up
benefits  after seven level  annual  premiums.  Any changes to a Policy which is
considered,  for tax purposes,  to be a "material"  change,  including,  but not
limited  to, a change in the  Specified  Amount,  require  us to test the Policy
again for compliance with the 7-pay test based on the changes to the Policy.

[112] How is a "MEC" treated  differently  from other life  insurance  policies?
Some of the key ways in  which a MEC is  treated  differently  from  other  life
insurance policies are: (a) amounts you receive as a partial  withdrawal,  loan,
or if you  surrender the Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to come first
from any gain in the tax year  received  ("last  in/first out"  treatment);  (b)
distributions  of gain  before the  taxpayer's  age 59 1/2 are  subject to a 10%
penalty  unless  an  exception  applies;  and  (c)  assignments  or  pledges  as
collateral  for  a  loan  are  deemed  a  distribution.  Gain  subsequent  to an
assignment or pledge may be treated as if it is distributed each year.  However,
death benefits paid from a MEC are treated the same as from other life insurance
policies.

                 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.  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.

                                  Reinstatement

You may apply for reinstatement of the Policy if it lapses. We must receive this
application  In  Writing  at our  Office  within 5 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

We  currently do not require that the Cash Value of the Policy be paid out as of
any  "maturity  date".  There  is an  assumed  maturity  date  for  purposes  of
compliance with various state insurance requirements and for purposes of meeting
certain tests under the Code. Should we come to believe that the Cash Value must
be paid out as of the  assumed  maturity  date in order to comply  with state or
Federal requirements,  then a Policy will mature as of the Policy Anniversary on
which the Insured is Age 100. If there are two Insureds,  a Policy  "matures" as
of the Policy  Anniversary on which the younger Insured is Age 100 or would have
been Age 100 if the younger  Insured is then  deceased.  If we must  implement a
maturity  date,  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. Certain rights and benefits under the Policy may be restricted after Age
100.

                              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:

     (1) "Scheduled"  transactions  such as monthly  deductions,  transfers  and
         distributions  are "priced"  according to the Unit Price next  computed
         after the date such  transactions  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.  However, we price scheduled
         periodic payments which you authorize to be transferred from an account
         at  another  financial  institution  for  additional  Premiums  or loan
         repayments as "unscheduled" transactions, because we cannot control the
         administrative processing of the other financial institution.

     (2) "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  additional
         Premiums,  loan  repayments,  and  payments  to keep a Policy in effect
         during a grace period or a reinstatement payment.

     (3) 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,  depending  in part on whether  your Policy is treated as a MEC.  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 Policy 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.

                            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. However, we will charge the premium tax and DAC tax on
the  amount of this  "inherited"  loan as if it was  received  as  Premium.  For
purposes of determining the Assessable Premium, the amount of the inherited loan
will not be treated as commissionable Premium.

The amount of this inherited loan in your Policy when  established will be equal
to the loan that was in effect before you surrendered  your prior policy.  As of
the Policy Date, your Account Value will reflect any transferred  "Premium" plus
the amount of the  inherited  loan.  That portion of your Account Value equal to
the  inherited  loan amount will be allocated to the Loan Account as  collateral
for the loan. By reflecting the inherited loan amount in the Account Value,  the
sum of the Specified  Amount and the Account Value  initially will be more under
Option B than it would be without the loan.  Also, there will be a corresponding
increase in the Minimum  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. All charges that
are  calculated as a percentage of your Account Value will increase  because the
Account Value will reflect the amount of the loan allocated to the Loan Account.

Withdrawals of amounts to pay loans  transferred to an Exchange  Policy from any
prior policy may have adverse taxable consequences.  You should consult your tax
advisor before  purchasing an Exchange  Policy with the intention to make such a
withdrawal or before requesting such a withdrawal.

                          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.

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

Under most circumstances, the Beneficiary does not pay any Federal income tax on
the Death Proceeds.

Under most circumstances: (a) any gain in the Policy is not taxed currently; and
(b) any amounts  you receive as a partial  withdrawal  or if you  surrender  the
Policy are deemed for income tax  purposes  to come first from your basis in the
Policy,  with any gain withdrawn taxed as ordinary income; and (c) if you assign
or pledge  any  portion  of the  Policy,  the  transaction  is not  treated as a
distribution subject to taxation.

The tax treatment of the Policy and any distribution  while the Insured is alive
will be different  if the Policy is deemed to be a MEC.  Some of the key ways in
which a MEC is treated  differently from other life insurance  Policies are: (a)
amounts your receive as a partial  withdrawal,  loan,  or if you  surrender  the
Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to come first from any gain in the tax
year received;  (b)  distributions  of gain before the taxpayer's age 59 1/2 are
subject to a 10% penalty  unless an exception  applies;  and (c)  assignments or
pledges as collateral for a loan are deemed a taxable distribution to the extent
of any gain.

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.

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.

Continuing the Policy Beyond the Implied Maturity Date: We believe that a Policy
will continue to be treated as life insurance  and, if applicable,  as a MEC, if
it remains in force beyond the Policy's assumed maturity date. 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 such date, 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 audited  financial  statement  included in this Prospectus and  Registration
Statement  are  presented  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  These  statements  were  audited by Ernst & Young LLP,  independent
auditors  for the period ended  December 31, 1997,  and by Deloitte & Touche LLP
for the periods ended December 31, 1996,  1995,  1994 and 1993. We rely on their
respective authority 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 7.0% 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.

We may structure  on-going sales compensation and the on-going service fees such
that no fee is payable based on the value in Fixed Allocations.  If that were to
occur, it is possible that your  representative may receive on-going service fee
compensation,  but only in relation to value  maintained in variable  investment
options.

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 the  deductions  for  taxes,  the cost of  insurance  charges  or the
contingent  deferred sales charge.  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 amount and timing of Premium
payments,  the Specified  Amount,  the Death Benefit option and the Policy Date;
and (c)  assumptions  about a lack of  transfers,  loans,  loan  repayments  and
withdrawals  as well as no changes  to the  Specified  Amount and Death  Benefit
option 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.

                                  Illustrations

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  G, we provide  hypothetical  illustrations  of how
exercise of the  accelerated  death  benefit  provision  affects the values of a
Policy.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A.   Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------
          The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements
          of American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation (the Company)
          have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
          accounting  principles for interim  financial  information and
          with  the   instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and  Article  10  of
          Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the
          information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted
          accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.  In
          the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of
          normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair
          presentation  have been  included.  Operating  results for the
          nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily
          indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
          ending  December 31, 1998. For further  information,  refer to
          the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in
          the Company's audited  consolidated  financial  statements for
          the year ended December 31, 1997.

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

     B.   New Accounting Pronouncement
          ----------------------------
          As of  January  1,  1998  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of
          Financial   Accounting   Standards  ("SFAS")  130,  "Reporting
          Comprehensive   Income".  SFAS  130  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 separately
          in shareholder's equity, to be included in other comprehensive
          income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified
          to conform to the requirements of SFAS 130.

     In connection with these transactions,  the Parent, through a trust, issued
     collateralized  notes in private placements 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 80% (100% for Transaction 1997-3) 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 Company did not sell the right to
     receive  future  fees and charges  after the  expiration  of the  surrender
     charge period.

     The proceeds from the sales have been recorded as liabilities and are being
     amortized  over the remaining  surrender  charge  period of the  designated
     contracts using the interest method.  The present value of the transactions
     (discounted at 7.5%) as of the Effective Date was as follows:

         The  Commissioner  of the State of Connecticut has approved the sale of
         future fees and charges; however, in the event that the Company becomes
         subject to an order of liquidation or rehabilitation,  the Commissioner
         has the  ability  to stop the  payments  due to the  Parent  under  the
         Purchase Agreements subject to certain terms and conditions.


5.       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
         business. The reinsurance is effected under quota share contracts.

         In addition,  the Company  reinsures certain mortality risks pertaining
         to the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit feature in the variable annuity
         products.

         The effect of the  reinsurance  agreements on the Company's  operations
         was to reduce annuity  charges and fee income,  death benefit  expense,
         and  reserve  exposure.  The effect of  reinsurance  is  summarized  as
         follows:

         Such  ceded   reinsurance   does  not  relieve  the  Company  from  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
         agreement.


6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On November 10, 1998 the Company sold to its Parent,  effective October
         1, 1998,  certain rights to receive future fees and charges expected to
         be realized on the variable  portion of a designated  block of deferred
         annuity  contracts  issued during the period May 1, 1997 through August
         31,  1998.  In  connection  with this  transaction,  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 Agreement,  the rights sold provide for
         the Parent to receive 80% of future  mortality and expense  charges and
         contingent  deferred  sales  charges  expected to be realized  over the
         remaining   surrender   charge  period  of  the  designated   contracts
         (generally,  8 years).  The  Company  did not sell the right to receive
         future fees and charges after the  expiration  of the surrender  charge
         period.

         The proceeds  from the sale will be recorded as a liability and will be
         amortized over the remaining  surrender charge period of the designated
         contracts  using the interest  method.  The present value at October 1,
         1998  (discounted at 7.0%),  of future fees and charges  expected to be
         realized on the designated contracts was $68,573,258.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                      Nine months ended September 30, 1998


American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation (the Company) is a stock insurance
company  domiciled  in  Connecticut  with  licenses  in all 50  states.  It is a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of American  Skandia  Investment  Holding  Corporation,
whose ultimate parent is Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., a Swedish company.

The Company mainly is in the business of issuing annuity policies,  and has been
so since its  business  inception  in 1988.  The  Company  currently  offers the
following  annuity products:  a) certain deferred  annuities that are registered
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  including  variable annuities and
fixed interest rate annuities that include a market value adjustment feature; b)
certain  other  fixed  deferred  annuities  that  are not  registered  with  the
Securities and Exchange  Commission;  c) non-registered group variable annuities
designed as funding  vehicles for certain  qualified  retirement  plans;  and d)
fixed and adjustable immediate annuities.

In April, the Company began offering a term life insurance product in support of
an  affiliate's  mutual fund  products.  In May, the Company  launched its first
variable life insurance  product.  Early in 1999, the Company expects to release
its second  variable life insurance  product.  Consistent  sales activity is not
anticipated  until more state approvals are secured and the launch of the second
variable life insurance product is completed.

The Company  markets its products  through an internal field  marketing staff to
broker-dealers,   financial   planners  and  in   conjunction   with   financial
institutions such as banks that are permitted  directly,  or through affiliates,
to sell annuities.



                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

The Company's long term business plan was developed reflecting the current sales
and  marketing  approach.  The sales  volume  for the nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 was $3,143 million and $2,785 million, respectively,
an increase of 13%. This increase is a direct result of the marketing efforts by
the  Company  coupled  with  an  overall   increase  in  the  variable   annuity
marketplace.  Assets grew $2,723  million or 21% since  December 31, 1997.  This
increase is a direct  result of the sales  volume  increasing  separate  account
assets and deferred  acquisition  costs  combined  with the strong first quarter
stock market  performance  partially  offset by the impact of the third  quarter
stock market  decline,  which  impacted the growth in separate  account  assets.
Liabilities  grew $2,680  million or 21% since  December 31, 1997 as a result of
the reserves required for the increased sales activity as well as an increase in
borrowings  and  reinsurance to support the  acquisition  costs of the Company's
variable annuity business.




<PAGE>



The Company  experienced  a net gain of $34.2  million after tax for the current
period which was $12.9 million greater than the same period last year. This gain
is a result of the strong sales activity for the nine months ended September 30,
1998,  expense  levels  consistent  with sales  activity,  with the exception of
development activities,  and an increased asset base, which generates additional
fee revenue.

Revenues:

Increasing  annuity  sales volume  results in greater  assets under  management.
Growth in assets  under  management  has  resulted in a 57%  increase in annuity
charges & fees for the  nine-month  period ended  September  30,  1998.  This is
compared to an increase of 71% for the  nine-month  period ended  September  30,
1997.

Fee income  includes  income earned for transfer  agency type  activities.  This
income increased 91% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 compared
to an increase of 70% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997.  These
increases are driven by the continued increase in assets under management.

Net investment  income  increased 35% for the nine-month  period ended September
30,  1998.  This is compared to an  increase of 498% for the  nine-month  period
ended  September 30, 1997.  These  increases  are a result of increased  general
account investment holdings for the periods.

Annuity  premium  income  represents  sales of  immediate  annuities  with  life
contingencies.

Benefits:

Annuity benefits  represent  payments on annuity contracts with mortality risks,
immediate  annuities with life  contingencies and  supplementary  contracts with
life contingencies.

The increase in annuity  policy  reserves  represents the change in reserves for
immediate annuities with life contingencies,  supplementary  contracts with life
contingencies  and the guaranteed  minimum death benefit on variable  annuities.
The Company  reinsures the guaranteed  minimum death benefit exposure on most of
its variable  annuity  contracts.  For the periods ended  September 30, 1998 and
1997, the costs  associated  with  reinsuring the minimum death benefit  reserve
exceeded the change in the minimum death benefit reserve by  approximately  $1.6
million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Return  credited to  contractowners  represents  revenues on variable and market
value  adjusted  annuities  offset by benefit  payments  and change in  reserves
required on this  business.  Also  included  are benefit  payments and change in
reserves on immediate  annuities and supplemental  contracts without significant
mortality  risks.  The  result for the  current  period  reflects a higher  than
expected  separate  account  investment  return  on the  market  value  adjusted
contracts  in  support of the  benefits  and  required  reserves.  The  positive
performance  is  consistent  with the  performance  during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.


<PAGE>

Expenses:

Underwriting,  acquisition  and  other  insurance  expenses  consists  of $168.9
million of commissions  and $86.6 million of general  expenses offset by the net
capitalization  of deferred  acquisition  costs totaling  $145.6  million.  This
compares to $140 million of  commissions  and $70.8 million of general  expenses
offset by the net  capitalization of deferred  acquisition costs totaling $145.9
million for the same period last year.

Interest expense increased 63% over the same period last year as a result of the
securitization  (future  fees  payable to Parent)  transactions  during 1997 and
1998.  This  compares to an  increase  in interest  expense of 138% for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1997,  which was the result of the 1996 increase in
surplus notes of $110 million and the 1996 and 1997 securitization transactions.

Income tax expense was $7.6  million for the period  ended  September  30, 1998,
compared with $10.2 million for the same period last year. The effective federal
income  tax  rates  for the  periods  were 18% and 32%,  respectively.  The 1998
effective  rate was lower  than the  federal  statutory  income  tax rate due to
permanent  differences  and  1997  provision  to  return  differences.  The 1997
effective rate was lower than the statutory  rate due to permanent  differences.
Management  believes that based on the taxable  income  produced in 1997 and the
first nine months of 1998 as well as the continued  growth in annuity  products,
the Company will produce  sufficient taxable income in the future to realize its
deferred tax assets.


                         Liquidity and Capital Resources
                         -------------------------------

The  liquidity  requirement  of the  Company  was  met by  cash  from  insurance
operations, investment activities, cash flow from the December 30, 1997 and June
30, 1998 sales of future fee revenue, intercompany advances and reinsurance.

The Company had  significant  growth during the  nine-month  period in 1998. The
sales  volume  of  $3,143  million  was made up of  approximately  97%  variable
annuities,  most of which carry a contingent deferred sales charge. This type of
product causes a temporary cash strain in that 100% of the proceeds are invested
in separate  accounts  supporting  the product  leaving a cash (but not capital)
strain caused by the  acquisition  costs for the new business.  This cash strain
required the Company to look beyond the insurance  operations and investments of
the  Company.  To this end,  the Company  extended  its  reinsurance  agreements
(initiated in 1993,  1994 and 1995).  The  reinsurance  agreements  are modified
coinsurance  arrangements  where the  reinsurer  shares in the  experience  of a
specific book of business.  The income and expense items presented above are net
of reinsurance.

In  addition,  since  December  1996,  the Company has entered  into a series of
transactions in which the rights to receive future fees and charges  expected to
be realized on the variable  portion of a designated  block of deferred  annuity
contracts  through their  surrender  charge period have been sold to the Parent.
These  transactions,  designated  as  another  means of  financing  growth,  are
discussed in more detail at Notes 4 and 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements.

While the tremendous  growth of this young  organization has depended on capital
support from its parent,  the Company expects to use borrowing,  reinsurance and
the sale of future fee  revenues  to fund the cash strain  anticipated  from the
acquisition costs on expected future sales volume.

As of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,  shareholder's equity was $227.5
million and $184.4 million,  respectively,  which includes the carrying value of
the state  insurance  licenses in the amount of $4.5  million  and $4.6  million
respectively.

The  Company  has long term  surplus  notes and short  term  borrowing  with its
parent. No dividends have been paid to its parent company.


                                                         Year 2000 Compliance

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 inability to process  transactions  correctly or engage in normal
business activities.

The American  Skandia's  deferred annuity  operational  business partners report
that all critical  interfaces  are or are expected to be Year 2000  compliant by
the end of 1998. All investment  managers and  sub-advisors  are required by the
Securities and Exchange  Commission to publicly  disclose their Year 2000 status
in  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  expects to  receive  written
assurances  that  these  firms will be Year 2000  compliant  by the end of 1998.
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 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
Administration  system. This project was completed recently and a certificate 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 Year 2000 compliance have
not had 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 expected to be at the most
compliant level available by the end of 1998. 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.

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.

                   AMERICAN SKANDIA LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION
          (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skandia Insurance Company Ltd.)

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                December 31, 1997


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  annuity products and issues its products through
         its  affiliated  broker/dealer  company,  American  Skandia  Marketing,
         Incorporated.  The Company  currently  issues variable,  fixed,  market
         value adjusted and immediate annuities.

         The Company has 99.9% ownership in Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. which is

         Vida, S.A. de C.V. is $1,509,146 as of December 31, 1997.


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 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
             Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards   ("SFAS")   130,
             "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income",  which is effective  for fiscal
             years  beginning  after December 15, 1997.  SFAS 130 sets standards
             for the  reporting  and  display  of  comprehensive  income and its
             components in financial  statements.  Application  of the new rules
             will not impact the Company's financial position or net income. The
             Company expects to adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of
             1998, which will include the  presentation of comprehensive  income
             for prior periods presented for comparative  purposes,  as required
             by SFAS 130. The primary element of comprehensive income applicable
             to the  Company  is  changes  in  unrealized  gains  and  losses on
             securities classified as available for sale.

         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
             shareholder's equity.

             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 shareholder's equity.

             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 million  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 $95,823 and $32,641 at December  31, 1997
             and 1996,  respectively.  Depreciation  expense for the years ended
             December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $63,182 and $28,892, respectively.

                          (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
                         Skandia Insurance Company Ltd.)

         G.  Recognition of Revenue and Contract Benefits

             Annuity contracts without significant mortality risk, as defined by
             SFAS 97,  "Accounting  and Reporting by Insurance  Enterprises  for
             Certain  Long-Duration  Contracts",  are  classified  as investment
             contracts  (variable,  market value adjusted and certain  immediate
             annuities) and those with mortality risk  (immediate  annuities) as
             insurance  products.  The policy for revenue and  contract  benefit
             recognition is described below.

             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 is 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 6.5% to 8.25% at
             both December 31, 1997 and 1996.

             Annuity    sales   were    $3,697,990,000,    $2,795,114,000    and
             $1,628,486,000  for the years ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and
             1995,  respectively.  Annuity contract assets under management were
             $12,119,191,000,  $7,764,891,000 and $4,704,044,000 at December 31,
             1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         H.  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.  These  costs  include  commissions,   cost  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.

</TABLE>


         I.   Separate Accounts

              Assets and liabilities in Separate  Accounts are shown as separate
              captions in the  consolidated  statements of financial  condition.
              Separate  Account assets  consist  principally of long term bonds,
              investments  in mutual  funds and  short-term  securities,  all of
              which are carried at fair value.

              Included in Separate  Account  liabilities  are  $773,066,633  and
              $644,233,883 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, relating
              to annuity contracts for which the  contractholder is guaranteed a
              fixed rate of return.  Separate Account assets of $773,066,633 and
              $644,233,883   at  December  31,  1997  and  1996,   respectively,
              consisting of long term bonds,  short term  securities,  transfers
              due from  general  account  and cash are held in  support of these
              annuity contracts, pursuant to state regulation.

         J.   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.

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

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


         K.  Income Taxes

             The  Company is  included in the  consolidated  federal  income tax
             return of Skandia U.S. 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  the  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.


         L.  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 operations  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 included in shareholder's equity.

         M.  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.

         N.  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  business.  The reinsurance is effected
             under quota share contracts.

             The Company also reinsures  certain  mortality  risks.  These risks
             result from the  guaranteed  minimum death  benefit  feature in the
             variable annuity products.

         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 $9,324,853 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:

7.        FUTURE FEES PAYABLE TO PARENT

         On  December  17,  1996,  the  Company  sold to its  Parent,  effective
         September 1, 1996,  certain  rights to receive  future fees and charges
         expected to be realized on the variable  portion of a designated  block
         of deferred annuity  contracts issued during the period from January 1,
         1994  through June 30, 1996  (Transaction  1996-1).  In  addition,  the
         Company entered into the following similar transactions during 1997:


                            Closing          Effective         Contract Issue

           1997-2          12/30/97         12/1/97         5/1/95   - 12/31/96
           1997-3          12/30/97         12/1/97         5/1/96   - 10/31/97


         In connection  with these  transactions,  the Parent,  through a trust,
         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  80% (100% for  Transaction  1997-3)  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  (6.0 to 8.0  years).  The
         Company did not sell the right to receive future fees and charges after
         the expiration of the surrender charge period.

         reinsurer does not meet the  obligations  assumed under the reinsurance
         agreements.

                                   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 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 Specified Amount you seek; (e) which
Death  Benefit  option (A or B) is to apply;  and (f) the  amount  and timing of
Premiums you intend to pay. 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  personalized
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.  We may  also  provide  personalized  hypothetical
illustrations that assume future loans,  withdrawals,  loan repayments,  Premium
payments on other than the Policy Date and Policy  Anniversaries,  changes after
the  Policy  Date in the  Death  Benefit  option on in the  Specified  Amount or
varying  assumed  rates of  return.  Certain of these  illustrations  may not be
available as of the date of this  Prospectus.  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.  Hypothetical
illustrations are shown for both Death Benefit options. 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 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 1.10% hypothetical  expense ratio is
                  the  average  of the  actual  total  annual  expenses  for all
                  available  Portfolios as of December 31, 1997.  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  1.10%  hypothetical  expense
                  ratio, when deducted from the hypothetical average gross rates
                  of return equals a hypothetical  average net rate of return of
                  -1.10%, 4.90% and 10.90%, 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 current 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.                Premium taxes are assessed at the rate of 2.5%
6.                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.
7.                The Age(s) and,  where  applicable,  gender of the  Insured(s)
                  shown in each illustration.
8.                The  Insured(s)  is/are  eligible  for the no tobacco use risk
                  class.
9.                The Premium payments and Specified Amount are as shown in each
                  illustration.   It  is  assumed  that  Premium   payments  are
                  allocated on the first day of the Policy Year shown.
10.               Neither the Death Benefit  Option nor the Specified  Amount is
                  changed after the Policy Date.

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 TIMING AND AMOUNT OF PREMIUM  PAYMENTS,  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 TIMING AND AMOUNT OF PREMIUM  PAYMENTS,  THE INVESTMENT  ALLOCATIONS MADE TO

CAN BE MADE THAT THIS  HYPOTHETICAL  RATE OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED  FOR ANY ONE

</TABLE>
The Minimum  Required  Death Benefit is determined by treating the Account Value
as if it were a net single  premium.  We determine  the Minimum  Required  Death
Benefit by  multiplying  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 a standard insurance industry method to derive 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  Smoker/Non-Smoker Table, age
last birthday  unless unisex  charges  apply.  If unisex charges apply, a unisex
variation of that table is used.  The amounts shown are per $1,000 of Net Amount
at Risk.

We derive the cost of  insurance  charges  for joint life cases using a standard
insurance  industry method based on the applicable cost of insurance  charge for
both  Insureds.  Guaranteed  maximum  cost of  insurance  charges  for  specific
proposed joint Insureds are available upon request.

                                   Appendix F
   Description of the Calculation of Current Monthly Cost of Insurance Charges

We determine the current monthly cost of insurance  rate, the currently  monthly
cost of insurance fee and any underwriting factor as follows:

         1. Current monthly cost of insurance rate: The rate depends on a number
of factors, as follows.

           a.  For Policies with One Insured: The rates depend on the risk class
               of the Insured(s), the Age and, where permissible,  gender of the
               Insured.

           b.  For Policies  with Two  Insureds:  The rates depend on the age of
               the younger insured, and on the number of smokers insured (0,1 or
               2).

         2. Current  monthly cost of insurance fee: The cost of insurance fee is
calculated using a "constant" of $12.00.

         3.  Underwriting  factor:  We reserve the right to multiply the current
cost of insurance rate by an underwriting  factor.  The underwriting  factor for
Policies that are fully underwritten would be one, which results in no change to
the rate.

The  following is an example of how we  calculate  the monthly cost of insurance
deduction. Assume for this example that: (1) the Policy is issued using Option A
with a Specified  Amount of $80,000;  (2) on the applicable  Monthly  Processing
Day, the Death Benefit equals the Specified Amount; (3) the then current Account
Value is $10,000;  (4) there is one male  Insured,  who is currently Age 55; and
(5) the Policy is issued in the no tobacco use risk class in a  situation  where
gender can be used in determining cost of insurance charges.

         (a) We look up the  current  monthly  cost of  insurance  rate  for the
Insured.  As of the  date  of  this  Prospectus,  the  current  monthly  cost of
insurance rate for a 55 year old male nonsmoker  Insured is $.23172 per thousand
of Net Amount at Risk.

         (b) If  applicable,  we  multiply  the  rate  shown  in (a)  times  the
applicable current underwriting factor.

         (c) We multiply (a), or, if  applicable,  the result of (b),  times the
Net Amount at Risk*. The result is 16.16.

         (d) We add the  current  "constant"  of  $12.00  to (c),  resulting  in
$28.16.

         (e) We look up the  contractually  guaranteed  maximum  monthly cost of
insurance  charge for the Insured.  In this case, we look up the charge for a 55
year old male in the no tobacco use class.  That charge is .68759 per $1,000 Net
Amount at Risk.

         (f) We  multiply  the rate  shown in (e) times the Net Amount at Risk*.
The result is 47.95.

         (g) We compare the result in (d) and (f).  The lower of the two amounts
is the current monthly cost of insurance for the Insured.  In this example,  the
current cost of insurance is, therefore, $28.16.


* We determine the Net Amount at Risk by subtracting  the Account Value from the
Death Benefit  discounted to the beginning of the Policy Month at the rate of 4%
per year. In this example, the Amount at Risk is $69,739.

                                   Appendix H
             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.       Premiums  of $5,000  per year were paid as of the first day of
                  each Policy Year,  and the premium tax charged on each Premium
                  was  1.75%.  DAC tax  also was  charged  in  relation  to each
                  Premium.

         2.       Each  Policy was issued on the No Tobacco  Use class,  cost of
                  insurance rates differ by gender and there is no change to the
                  current cost of insurance  rates during the period  covered by
                  the example.

         3.       The Death Benefit option in effect  throughout the life of the
                  Policy is Option A.

         4.       The  Specified  Amount is $100,000 and has  remained  constant
                  since the Policy Date.

         5.       The  provision is exercised as of the day  preceding  the 10th
                  Policy Anniversary.

         6.       The  investment  options in which  Account Value was allocated
                  have grown on a  constant  basis  since the Policy  Date at an
                  annualized rate of 8% per year.

         7.       There  have been no loans or loan  repayments  and no  amounts
                  have been withdrawn.

         8.       50% of the maximum  available  amount is taken pursuant to the
                  accelerated death benefit provision.

         9.       The 12-month interest rate discount used in the calculation of
                  the  benefit  assumes  interest  at 6%  per  year,  compounded
                  yearly.

                           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.



<PAGE>


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.

Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has

         Our File No. 74877-00-103

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  Flexible  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
Pre-effective  Amendment No. 2 to the  Registration  Statement on Form S-6 under
the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and to the reference to our name under

"Experts"  in the  Prospectus  included as a part of such Form S-6  Registration
Statement.
