3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

Pursuant to an accounting services agreement with the Series, VALIC serves as
the accounting services agent to the Series and will provide certain accounting
and administrative services to the Series. For its services, VALIC will receive
an annual fee of 0.03% of average daily net assets.

Certain officers of VALIC are also officers and/or trustees of the Fund.

The initial seed money for the Series was funded by VALIC. VALIC owns 100% of
the outstanding shares of the Funds of the Series.

Certain start-up costs were incurred in connection with the organization of the
Series. These costs were paid by VALIC on behalf of the Series.

4. NET ASSETS

Each Fund offers four classes of shares--Class A, Class B, Class I, and Class
II, except for the S&P 500 Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, Small Cap Index Fund,
Municipal Bond Fund, and Municipal Money Market Fund, which offer two classes of
shares--Class A and Class B. Each class of shares has an initial net asset value
of $10 per share, except for the Money Market Fund and the Municipal Money
Market Fund, which each have an initial net asset value of $1 per share.

The Class A shares impose a sales charge at the time of purchase, the Class B
shares impose a sales charge at the time of redemption on a contingent deferred
basis, and the Class I and Class II shares do not impose a sales charge. For the
Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge is determined as a
percentage of the lesser of the current market value or the cost of shares being
redeemed. The percentage is initially 5% for the first year and decreases 1%
each year until the sixth year.

Each class of shares represents a beneficial interest in the assets of a Fund
and generally are identical in all respects except that each class bears certain
distribution expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to its
distribution fee. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six
years after purchase, subject to certain conditions.

The seed money for each Fund has been allocated to each class of shares on a pro
rata basis, dependent on the number of classes of shares for the Fund.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

On November 2, 1998, VALIC contributed an additional $99,900,000 to the Series
for additional funding. At that time, investment operations of each Fund
commenced, and the Series' registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933 became effective.

6. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

VALIC is in the process of modifying its systems to achieve Year 2000 readiness.
This endeavor is directed and managed by VALIC and monitored by the parent
company, American General Corporation. VALIC has developed clearly defined and
documented plans that have been implemented to minimize the risk of significant
negative impact on its operations.

In addition, the Series and VALIC have business relationships with various third
parties, each of which must also be Year 2000-ready. Therefore, VALIC's plans
also include assessing and attempting to mitigate the risks associated with the
potential failure of third parties to achieve Year 2000 readiness. Due to the
various stages of the third parties' Year 2000 readiness, VALIC's efforts in
this regard will extend through 1999.

Through September 30, 1998, VALIC has incurred and expensed $16.5 million
(pretax) related to Year 2000 readiness, including $10.5 million incurred during
the first nine months of 1998. VALIC currently anticipates that it will incur
future costs of $7.2 million (pretax) for additional internal staff, third-party
vendors, and other expenses to achieve Year 2000 readiness.

Due to the magnitude and complexity of this project, risks and uncertainties
exist. If conversion of VALIC's systems is not completed on a timely basis (due
to non-performance by significant third-party vendors or other unforeseen
circumstances), or if significant third parties fail to achieve Year 2000
readiness on a timely basis, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse
impact on the operations of VALIC and the Series.
