VARIABLE ANNUITY
PROFILE
THIS PROFILE IS A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT POINTS THAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW AND CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING THE POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE ANNUITY. THE
ANNUITY IS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN THE PROSPECTUS. PLEASE READ THE PROSPECTUS
CAREFULLY.
May 1, 2000
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
1. THE POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE ANNUITY
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
The Polaris Plus Variable Annuity is issued by Anchor National Life Insurance
Company ("Anchor National") to Participants in certain employer sponsored
retirement plans qualified subject to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "IRC") and to certain individuals who qualify to purchase contracts
under Section 408(b). An annuity qualified under Section 403(b) of the IRC is
also known as a tax sheltered annuity ("TSA"). An annuity qualified under
Section 408(b) is commonly referred to as an Individual Retirement Annuity
("IRA").
A 403(b) Polaris Plus participant may choose to convert their 403(b) to an IRA
funded by Polaris Plus if they separate from service. Generally, all of the same
features, charges and benefits will apply to a contract issued as an IRA as was
applicable to a participant's TSA, so long as no conflict arises with the
appropriate provisions of the IRC. We will only specifically address IRA
contracts in this Profile to the extent that applicable IRC provisions and/or
any other state or federal laws, require different treatment.
This contract is designed to help you invest to meet long-term financial goals,
such as retirement funding. Your retirement plan allows you to invest money on
which you have not already paid taxes and your earnings grow tax deferred. In
addition, funding that plan with the Polaris Plus variable annuity provides a
wide range of underlying investment options and fixed accounts, a guaranteed
death benefit and an option to receive income for your lifetime.
Polaris Plus offers a diverse selection of money managers and investment
options. You may divide your money among any or all of our 26 variable
investment portfolios and several fixed account options, unless limited by any
applicable Plan. Your investment is not guaranteed. The value of your Polaris
Plus contract can fluctuate up or down, based on the performance of the
underlying investments you select. You may experience a loss.
Like most annuities, the contract has an accumulation phase and an income phase.
During the accumulation phase, you invest money in your contract. Your earnings
are based on the investment performance of the variable investment portfolios to
which your money is allocated and/or the interest rate(s) earned on the fixed
account option(s) in which you invest. Subject to certain IRC restrictions, you
may withdraw money from your contract during the accumulation phase. However, as
with other tax-deferred investments, your ability to withdraw money is
restricted and you will generally pay taxes on earnings and untaxed
contributions when you withdraw them. A federal tax penalty will typically apply
if you make withdrawals before age 59 1/2.
During the income phase, you receive income payments from your annuity. Among
other factors, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract
during the accumulation phase will affect the amount of your income payments
during the income phase.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
2. INCOME OPTIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
You can select from one of five income options:
(1) payments for your lifetime;
(2) payments for your lifetime and your survivor's lifetime;
(3) payments for your lifetime and your survivor's lifetime, but for not less
than 10 or 20 years;
(4) payments for your lifetime, but for not less than 10, 15 or 20 years,
and;
(5) payments for a specified period of 5 to 30 years.
You will also need to decide when your income payments begin and if you want
your income payments to fluctuate with investment performance or remain
constant. Once you begin receiving income payments, you cannot change your
income option.
For contracts which are part of a qualified retirement plan (including TSAs and
IRAs), funded with money on which you did not paid taxes, the entire income
payment is generally taxable as income. Further, under certain qualified
contracts your income option may not exceed your life expectancy.
In addition to the above income options, you may also enroll in the Income
Protector program which provides a minimum retirement income guarantee, subject
to the provisions thereof.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
3. PURCHASING A POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE
ANNUITY CONTRACT
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
You can buy a contract with money from a direct transfer or a direct rollover
from an existing retirement plan and/or by establishing a salary reduction
agreement with your employer.
For qualified contracts issued as TSAs there is no minimum initial purchase
payment if you establish a salary reduction agreement with your employer. If you
fund a contract through a direct transfer or direct rollover, only, (without
setting up salary reduction contributions), the minimum initial purchase payment
is $2,000.
<PAGE> 5
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
4. INVESTMENT OPTIONS

If applicable, your Plan may limit the investment options available to you.
You may also allocate money to the 1, 3 and 5 year market value adjustment
("MVA") fixed account options (in Washington and Oregon only a 1 year fixed
account is available) and, under certain circumstances, the 6-month and 1-year
Dollar Cost Averaging ("DCA") fixed account options. Each fixed account option
may offer a different interest rate. Interest rates are guaranteed by Anchor
National. If applicable, your Plan may also limit the fixed account options
available to you.
Your contract value may be adjusted up or down for withdrawals or transfers from
the 1, 3 and 5 year MVA fixed account options prior to the end of the guarantee
period. The interest rates applicable for these fixed account options may differ
from time to time, however, we will never credit less than a 3% annual effective
rate. Once established, the rate will not change during the selected period.
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
5. EXPENSES
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
We deduct insurance charges, annually as a percentage of the average daily value
of your contract allocated to the variable portfolios. Currently, the charges
range from .55% to 1.25%. The amount of the charge may vary by Plan or group.
The actual charge applicable to you can be obtained by calling your employer,
Plan Sponsor, financial adviser or by consulting your Contract Data page. There
are no insurance charges deducted against amounts allocated to the fixed account
options.
If you take money out of your contract, you may be assessed a withdrawal charge
which is a percentage of purchase payments withdrawn. The percentage may depend
on the number of years the withdrawn purchase payments have been invested in the
contract. If applicable, the percentage declines over the time the money is in
the contract. The applicable withdrawal charge schedule may also vary dependent
upon your employment status at the time of contract issue.
Currently, the withdrawal charges range from 0% to the maximum schedule, as
follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
Withdrawal charges may vary by Plan or group contract. You can obtain
information on the withdrawal charge applicable to your contract by calling your
plan sponsor, employer, financial adviser or consulting your Contract Data page.
As with other professionally managed investments, there are also investment
charges imposed on contracts with money allocated to the variable portfolios. We
estimate these fees to range from .53 to 1.90.
Each year, you are allowed to make an unlimited number of transfers among the
variable portfolios without charge. We reserve the right in the future to limit
the number of transfers to 15 each year and to impose a $25.00 fee for each
transfer in excess of 15. (You will be notified of any future limitation.)
In a limited number of states, you may also be assessed a state premium tax of
up to 3.5%, depending upon the state.
The following charts are designed to help you understand the charges in your
contract. The column "Total Annual Charges" shows the total of the maximum 1.25%
insurance charges and the investment charges for each variable portfolio. If
your insurance charges are less than 1.25% your expenses will be lower.
The next two columns show two examples of the charges you would pay under the
contract. The examples assume that you invested $1,000 in a contract which earns
5% annually and that you withdraw your money: (1) at the end of year 1, and (2)
at the end of year 10. The premium tax is assumed to be 0% in both examples. In
calculating these examples we use the highest applicable insurance charges equal
to 1.25% annually (calculated daily) of the value of the variable portfolio. To
arrive at the numbers at the end of year 1, we use the highest possible
surrender charge of 6%. If the withdrawal charge or insurance charges applicable
under your contract are less, your expenses would be lower.

* For these Portfolios, the adviser, SunAmerica Asset Management Corp., has
voluntarily agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses, if necessary, to keep
operating expenses at or below an established maximum amount. All waivers or
reimbursements may be terminated at any time. For more detailed information,
see Fee Tables and Examples in the prospectus.
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
6. TAXES
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike taxable investments where earnings are taxed in the year they are earned,
taxes on amounts contributed to and earned in a qualified contract (one
purchased with before-tax dollars, like a TSA or IRA), are generally taxable
when withdrawn.
You may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty for distributions or withdrawals
before age 59 1/2.
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
7. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
During the accumulation phase withdrawals from your contract may be limited by
the IRC, any applicable employer plan and this contract. Contracts issued as
qualified TSAs or IRAs are subject to specific withdrawal restrictions imposed
by the IRC. SEE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY ON PAGE 12 for details regarding
restrictions applicable to withdrawals.
Under this contract, certain withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
Some types of withdrawals may be exempt from Company imposed withdrawal charges.
SEE EXPENSES ON PAGE 14 for details regarding possible withdrawal charge
exceptions.
In all cases after your tenth contract anniversary, Company imposed withdrawal
charges no longer apply. However, the IRC or any applicable Plan may still
impose restrictions on withdrawals at that point in time.
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
8. PERFORMANCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
The value of your contract will fluctuate depending upon the investment
performance of the portfolio(s) you choose.
When you invest in the Polaris Plus Variable Annuity, your money is actually
invested in the underlying portfolios of the Anchor Series Trust and/or the
SunAmerica Series Trust. These trusts are older than the annuity itself and have
served as underlying investments for other variable annuity contracts. Some of
the advertised historical performance for this annuity will be derived from the
performance of the corresponding portfolios of the trusts, modified to reflect
the charges and expenses associated with this contract, as if this contract had
been in existence during the time period advertised. Of course, past performance
does not guarantee future results.
<PAGE> 7
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
9. DEATH BENEFIT
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you should die during the accumulation phase, your beneficiary will receive a
death benefit. The death benefit will be the greater of:
1. Total purchase payments minus total withdrawals (including applicable
fees and charges) at the time we receive satisfactory proof of death,
or;
2. The contract value at the time we receive satisfactory proof of death.
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
10. OTHER INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
FREE LOOK: You may cancel your contract within ten days (or longer if required
by your state) by mailing it to our Annuity Service Center. Your contract will
be treated as void on the date we receive it and we will pay you an amount equal
to the value of your contract on the date (unless otherwise required by state
law). Its value may be more or less than the money you initially invested.
ASSET ALLOCATION REBALANCING: If selected by you, this program maintains your
specified allocation mix in the variable investment portfolios by readjusting
your money on a calendar quarterly, semiannual or annual basis.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM: If selected by you, and allowed by any applicable
plan, this program allows you to receive either monthly, quarterly, semiannual
or annual checks during the accumulation phase. Systematic withdrawals may also
be electronically transferred to your bank account. Of course, withdrawals may
be subject to a withdrawal charge and a 10% federal tax penalty may apply if you
are under age 59 1/2. This program is not available if you are not eligible to
make withdrawals under the IRC or an applicable employer plan.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING: If selected by you and allowed by any applicable plan,
this program allows you to invest gradually in the variable portfolios and/or
certain fixed account options from any of the variable investment portfolios,
the 1-year MVA fixed account option, and under certain circumstances the 6-month
or the 1-year DCA fixed account options.
CONFIRMATIONS AND QUARTERLY STATEMENTS: During the accumulation phase, you will
receive confirmation of transactions within your contract. Transactions made
pursuant to contractual or systematic agreements, such as deduction of the
annual maintenance fee and dollar cost averaging, may be confirmed quarterly.
Purchase payments received through the automatic payment plan or a salary
reduction arrangement, may also be confirmed quarterly. For all other
transactions, we send confirmations immediately.
During the accumulation and income phases, you will receive a statement of your
transactions over the past quarter and a summary of your account values.

GLOSSARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have capitalized some of the technical terms used in this prospectus. To help
you understand these terms, we have defined them in this glossary.
ACCUMULATION PHASE - The period during which you invest money in your contract.
ACCUMULATION UNITS - A measurement we use to calculate the value of the variable
portion of your contract during the Accumulation Phase.
ANNUITANT(S) - The person(s) on whose life (lives) we base annuity payments. For
a contract issued pursuant to IRC Section 403(b), the Participant must be the
Annuitant. Under an IRA the owner is always the Annuitant.
ANNUITY DATE - The date on which annuity payments are to begin, as selected by
you.

+ We do not currently charge a surrender charge upon annuitization, unless the
contract is annuitized under the Income Protector program. We will assess
any applicable surrender charges upon annuitizations effected using the
Income Protector program as if you had fully surrendered your contract.
These examples assume the highest fees and charges possible.
EXPLANATION OF FEE TABLES AND EXAMPLES
1. The purpose of the Fee Tables is to show you the maximum expenses you may
incur directly and indirectly by investing in the contract.
2. For certain Portfolios, the adviser, SunAmerica Asset Management Corp., has
voluntarily agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses, if
necessary, to keep annual operating expenses at or below the lesser of the
maximum allowed by any applicable stated expense limitations or the
following percentages of each Portfolio's average net assets: Emerging
Markets (1.90%); International Growth and Income (1.60%); Aggressive Growth
(.90%); Small Company Value (1.40%); Real Estate (1.25%); "Dogs" of Wall
Street (.85%); Federated Value (1.03%); Equity Index (.55%); Utility
(1.05%); Equity Income (.95%); SunAmerica Balanced (1.00%). The adviser also
may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional amounts to increase a
Portfolio's investment return. All waivers and/or reimbursements may be
terminated at any time. Furthermore, the adviser may recoup any waivers or
reimbursements within two years after such waivers or reimbursements are
granted, provided that the Portfolio is able to make such payment and remain
in compliance with the foregoing expense limitations.
3. Although premium taxes may apply in certain states, they are not reflected
in the Examples. In addition, the examples do not reflect the fees
associated with the optional Income Protector Program. SEE INCOME OPTIONS ON
PAGE 15.

THE POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE ANNUITY
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
We issue the Polaris Plus variable annuity to certain groups and/or individuals
which qualify to purchase Contracts to fund their Tax Sheltered Annuity ("TSA")
pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") or IRA
retirement savings investments pursuant to Section 408(b) of the IRC. For TSA
contracts, the contract may be issued to a group contract holder (usually your
employer or plan trustee) for the benefit of the Participants in the group (you
and other employees in the group).
As a Participant under a group contract you will receive a certificate which
explains your rights under the contract. In certain situations an individual
contract will be issued directly to you. When we use the term Contract in this
prospectus we are referring to either your certificate if a group Participant or
an actual contract if an individual contract is issued.
A TSA Polaris Plus participant may choose to convert their 403(b) to an IRA if
they separate from service. Generally, all of the same features, charges and
benefits will apply to a contract converted to an IRA, as was applicable to a
participant's TSA, so long as no conflict arises with the appropriate provisions
of the IRC. We will only specifically address IRAs in this Prospectus to the
extent that applicable IRC provisions and/or any other state or federal laws,
require different treatment.
Generally, an annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. For
Plans governed by ERISA, the Contract may be owned by Plan Sponsor, Trustee or
some other employee association. Your retirement plan allows you to invest money
on which you have not already paid taxes and your earnings grow tax deferred. In
addition, funding that Plan with a variable annuity provides certain benefits.
You should decide whether the benefits are right for you. Among other features
the contract offers:
- Investment Options: Various investment options available in one contract,
including both variable and fixed-rate investing.
- Death Benefit: If you die during the Accumulation Phase, the insurance
company pays a death benefit to your Beneficiary.
- Guaranteed Income: You receive a stream of income for your lifetime if
elected, or another available period you select.
We developed this variable annuity to help you contribute to your retirement
savings. Your contributions may come from payroll deductions arranged through
your employer for TSAs. Contracts may also be funded by direct transfers or
direct rollovers from other retirement savings plans. Existing Polaris Plus
403(b) contracts may be converted to an IRA upon a separation from service.
Additionally, those IRA contract holders may make on-going contributions subject
to restrictions set forth in the IRC.
This Contract has two stages, the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. Your
Contract is in the Accumulation Phase when you make payments into the Contract.
During the Accumulation Phase, generally you have the advantage of making
Purchase Payments before paying taxes on the contributions. In addition, as a
function of IRC provisions, taxes on your earnings are deferred until
withdrawal. The Income Phase begins when you request that we start making income
payments to you out of the money accumulated in your Contract.
The Contract is called a "variable" annuity because it allows you to invest in
Variable Portfolios which, like mutual funds, have different investment
objectives and performance which vary with market conditions. You can gain or
lose money if you invest in these Variable Portfolios. The amount of money you
accumulate in your Contract depends on the performance of the Variable
Portfolios in which you invest. This Contract currently offers 26 variable
investment Portfolios, which may be limited by any applicable Plan.
The Contract also offers several fixed account options for varying time periods
(which also may be limited by any applicable Plan). Fixed account options earn
interest at a rate set and guaranteed by Anchor National. If you allocate money
to the fixed account options, the amount of money that accumulates in the
Contract depends on the total interest credited to the particular fixed account
option(s) in which you are invested.
For more information on investment options available under this contract SEE
INVESTMENT OPTIONS ON PAGE 8.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
PURCHASING A POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE ANNUITY
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
A Purchase Payment is the money you give us to buy a contract. Any additional
money you give us to invest in your contract after purchase is a subsequent
Purchase Payment. You make payments into your Contract in two ways:
- - salary reduction contributions, arranged through your employer; and/or
- - direct transfer or direct rollover from an existing retirement plans.
If you enter into a salary reduction agreement with your employer to make
Purchase Payments, there is no minimum initial payment. If you do not establish
such a salary reduction agreement, and only contribute through direct transfer
or direct rollover, the minimum initial Purchase Payment is $2,000.
You must have prior Company approval before we can accept Purchase Payments
greater than $1,500,000. The Company reserves the right to refuse any Purchase
Payment or subsequent Purchase Payments, including but not limited to
7
<PAGE> 15
any Purchase Payments which would cause the contract value to exceed $1,500,000
at the time of the Purchase Payment.
In general, we will not issue you a TSA or IRA contract if you are age 70 1/2 or
older, unless you certify that the minimum distributions required by the IRC are
being made. Upon proof satisfactory to us that minimum distribution requirements
are being satisfied or are not yet required, we may issue you a contract prior
to your reaching age 80.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
We invest your Purchase Payments in the fixed and variable investment options
according to your instructions. If we receive a Purchase Payment without
allocation instructions, we will invest the money according to your last
allocation instructions. SEE INVESTMENTS OPTIONS ON PAGE 8.
In order to issue your Contract, we must receive your completed enrollment form,
Purchase Payment, allocation instructions and any other required paper work at
our principal place of business. We allocate your initial Purchase Payment
within two days of receiving it. If we do not have the complete information
necessary to issue your contract, we will contact you. If we do not have the
information necessary to issue your Contract within 5 business days we will:
- Send your money back to you, or;
- Ask your permission to keep your money until we get the information
necessary to issue the Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
The value of the variable portion of your Contract will go up and down dependent
on the investment performance of the Variable Portfolios you choose. To
calculate the value of your Contract, we use a measure called an Accumulation
Unit.
We calculate the value of an Accumulation Unit each day that the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") is open, as follows:
1. We determine the total value of money invested in a particular
Portfolio;
2. We subtract from that amount all applicable contract charges; and
3. We divide this amount by the number of outstanding Accumulation Units.
When you make a Purchase Payment, we credit your Contract with Accumulation
Units. We determine the number of Accumulation Units credited by dividing the
Purchase Payment by the Accumulation Unit value for the specific Portfolio.
EXAMPLE:
We receive a $25,000 Purchase Payment from you on Wednesday. You allocate
the money to the Global Bond Portfolio. We determine that the value of an
Accumulation Unit for the Global Bond Portfolio is $11.10 when the NYSE
closes on Wednesday. We then divide $25,000 by $11.10 and credit your
Contract on Wednesday night with 2252.25 Accumulation Units for the Global
Bond Portfolio.
Performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you are invested and the
insurance charges and expenses under your contract affect your Accumulation Unit
values. These factors may cause the value of your Contract to go up or down.
FREE LOOK
You may cancel your Contract within ten days after receiving it (or longer if
required by state law). We call this a "free look." To cancel, you must mail the
Contract along with your free look request to our Annuity Service Center at P.O.
Box 54299, Los Angeles, California 90054-0299. We will refund to you the value
of your Contract on the day we receive your request. The amount refunded to you
may be more or less than the amount you originally invested.
Certain states (and all contracts issued as IRAs) require us to return your
Purchase Payments upon a free look request. With respect to those contracts, we
reserve the right to put your money in the Cash Management Portfolio or the
1-year fixed account option during the free look period. If you cancel your
Contract during the free look period, we return your Purchase Payments or the
value of your Contract, whichever is larger. At the end of the free look period,
we reallocate your money according to your instructions.

VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS
The Contract currently offers 26 Variable Portfolios, however an applicable Plan
may limit the number available under your Contract. These Portfolios invest in
shares of the Anchor Series Trust and the SunAmerica Series Trust (the
"Trusts"). Additional Portfolios may be available in the future. These
Portfolios operate similarly to a mutual fund but are only available through the
purchase of certain insurance contracts.
SunAmerica Asset Management Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
SunAmerica Inc., is the investment adviser to the Trusts. The Trusts serve as
the underlying investment vehicles for other variable annuity contracts issued
by Anchor National Life Insurance Company, and other affiliated and unaffiliated
insurance companies. Neither Anchor National nor the Trusts believe that
offering shares of the Trusts in this manner is disadvantageous to you. The
fund's management monitors the Trusts for any conflicts between contract owners.
Other funds may be available through the Trusts which are not available for
investment under your Contract.

YOU SHOULD READ THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE TRUSTS CAREFULLY. THESE PROSPECTUSES
CONTAIN DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE PORTFOLIOS, INCLUDING EACH PORTFOLIO'S
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND RISK FACTORS.
If applicable, your Plan may limit the Variable Portfolios available under your
Contract.
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
The Contract offers fixed account options; the 1, 3 and 5 year fixed market
value adjustment ("MVA") accounts (the 3 and 5 year fixed account options are
not available in Washington or Oregon). In addition we have two Dollar Cost
Averaging ("DCA") fixed accounts available under the contract.
The 1, 3 and 5 year MVA fixed account options and the 6 month and 1-year DCA
fixed accounts are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are not
subject to other provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. If
applicable, your Plan may limit the fixed account options available under your
Contract.
The 1, 3 and 5 year MVA fixed accounts pay interest at rates set and guaranteed
by Anchor National. Interest rates may differ from time to time and are set at
Anchor National's sole discretion. We will never credit less than a 3% annual
effective rate to any of the fixed investment options.
Each guarantee period may offer a different interest rate. Once established the
rates for specified payments do not change during the guarantee period. The
guarantee period is that period for which we credit the applicable rate (one,
three or five years).
There are three scenarios in which you may put money into the MVA fixed account
options. In each scenario your money may be credited a different rate of
interest as follows:
- Initial Rate: Rate credited to new purchase payments allocated to the
fixed account when you purchase your contract.
- Current Rate: Rate credited to subsequent purchase payments allocated
to the fixed account.
- Renewal Rate: Rate credited to money transferred to a fixed account
from another fixed account or from one of the Variable Portfolios.
Each of these rates may differ from one another. Once declared, the applicable
rate is guaranteed until the end of the calendar year in which the guarantee
period expires.
At the end of the calendar year during which a guarantee period ends, you may
leave your money in the same fixed account option. You may also reallocate your
money to another fixed account option or to the Variable Portfolios. If you want
to reallocate your money to a different fixed or variable investment option, you
must contact us within 30 days after the end of the current interest guarantee
period and instruct us how to reallocate the money. We do not contact you. If we
do not hear from you, your money will remain in the same fixed account option,
where it will earn
9
<PAGE> 17
interest at the renewal rate then in effect for the fixed account option.
The DCA fixed accounts also credit a fixed rate of interest for a predetermined
amount of time. The interest rate in the 1-year or 6-month DCA fixed account is
credited for one year or 6 months while your investment is systematically
transferred to the Variable Portfolios. The rates applicable to the DCA fixed
accounts may differ from each other and/or the other fixed account options. See
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING ON PAGE 11 for more information.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT ("MVA")
If you take money out of the 1, 3, or 5 year MVA fixed investment options before
the end of the interest crediting period, we may make an adjustment to your
Contract. We call this a market value adjustment or "MVA". This market value
adjustment reflects any difference in the interest rates between the time you
originally place your money in the fixed investment option and the time when you
withdraw or transfer that money. This adjustment can increase or decrease your
Contract value. However, the market value adjustment will never result in your
earning less than 3% in any particular guarantee period. You have 30 days after
the end of each guarantee period to reallocated your funds without incurring any
MVA.
We calculate the market value adjustment by comparing the current interest rates
being offered by us for subsequent Purchase Payments made to the same fixed
account option and the interest rate earned in your current fixed investment
option.
Generally, if interest rates drop more than one half of a percent between the
time you put your money into the fixed investment options and the time you take
it out, we credit a positive adjustment to your contract. Conversely, if
interest rates increase during the same period, we post a negative adjustment to
your contract.
Where the market value adjustment is negative, we first deduct the adjustment
from any money remaining in the fixed investment option. If there is not enough
money in the fixed investment option to meet the negative deduction, we deduct
the remainder from your withdrawal. Where the market value adjustment is
positive, we add the adjustment to your withdrawal from the fixed investment
option. For withdrawals under the systematic withdrawal program that result in a
negative MVA, the MVA amount will be deducted from your withdrawal.
Please see Appendix B for more information on how we calculate the Market Value
Adjustment.
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase you may transfer funds between the Variable
Portfolios and/or the fixed account options. Funds already in your Contract
cannot be transferred into the DCA fixed accounts. You must transfer at least
$100 and at least $100 (or $0) must remain in any Portfolio after a transfer.
We do not currently limit the number of transfers you can make. We reserve the
right to limit the number of transfers in the future to 15 for all existing and
new owners. If we do impose such a limit you may be charged $25 for each
transfer in excess of that limit. We will provide notice of any limitation. If a
limit is ever imposed, transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA
program count against your allotted number of free transfers. However, transfers
resulting from your participation in the Automatic Asset Rebalancing program
would not count against your allotted number.
You may request transfers of your account value between the Variable Portfolios
and/or the fixed account options in writing or by telephone (unless you have
indicated on your enrollment form that you do not wish to make telephone
transfer requests). Internet account access and/or transactions may be available
by visiting our website at www.sunamerica.com and completing the registration
process.
When receiving instructions over the telephone or the internet/website, we
follow appropriate procedures to provide reasonable assurance that the
transactions executed are genuine. Thus, we are not responsible for any claim,
loss or expense from any error resulting from instructions received over the
telephone. If we fail to follow our procedures, we may be liable for any losses
due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.
We can also limit the number of transfers in any contract year or refuse any
transfer request for you or others invested in the contract if we believe that
excessive trading or a specific transfer request or a group of transfer requests
may have a detrimental effect on unit values or the share prices of the
underlying Portfolios.
Where permitted by law, we may accept your authorization for a third party to
make transfers for you subject to our rules. We reserve the right to suspend or
cancel such acceptance at any time and will notify you accordingly.
Additionally, we may restrict the investment options available for transfers
during any period in which such third party acts for you. We notify such third
party beforehand regarding any restrictions. However, we will not enforce these
restrictions if we are satisfied that:
- such third party has been appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction
to act on your behalf; or
- such third party is a trustee/fiduciary for you or appointed by you to
act on your behalf for all your financial affairs.
10
<PAGE> 18
We may provide administrative or other support services to independent third
parties you authorize to make transfers on your behalf. We do not currently
charge you extra for providing these support services. This includes, but is not
limited to, transfers between investment options in accordance with market
timing strategies. Such independent third parties may or may not be appointed
with us for the sale of annuities. However, WE DO NOT ENGAGE ANY THIRD PARTIES
TO OFFER INVESTMENT ALLOCATION SERVICES OF ANY TYPE. WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATION AND TRANSFERS TRANSACTED ON YOUR BEHALF BY SUCH
THIRD PARTIES OR FOR ANY INVESTMENT ALLOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY SUCH
PARTIES.
For information regarding transfers during the Income Phase, SEE INCOME OPTIONS
ON PAGE 15.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, waive or terminate these transfer
provisions at any time.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING ("DCA")
The Dollar Cost Averaging program allows you to invest gradually in the Variable
Portfolios. Under the program you systematically transfer a set dollar amount or
percentage of investment option value from one Variable Portfolio or the 1-year
fixed account option (source accounts) to any other Variable Portfolio(s) or the
non-DCA fixed account options (target accounts). Transfers may be monthly or
quarterly. You may change the frequency at any time by notifying us in writing.
The minimum transfer amount under the DCA program is $100, regardless of the
source account.
We also offer a 6-month and a 1-year DCA fixed account exclusively to facilitate
DCA of your direct transfer and/or direct rollover Purchase Payments. If you
allocate a Purchase Payment into a DCA fixed account, we transfer all your money
allocated to that account into the Variable Portfolios or the non-DCA fixed
accounts over the selected 6-month or 1-year period. You cannot change the
option or the frequency of transfers once selected, if you are using these DCA
accounts.
Any single allocation of funds placed into the 6-month DCA fixed account must be
$600.00 or larger. We transfer all of your money out of the 6-month DCA fixed
account to the Variable Portfolio(s) you select by the end of the six month
period. Transfers out of the 6-month DCA fixed account must occur monthly
Transfers out of the 1-year DCA fixed account must be made quarterly or monthly.
If you select monthly transfers the minimum amount you must place in the account
is $1,200. If you select quarterly transfers the minimum amount you must place
in the account is $400. The amount of each transfer from the 1-year DCA fixed
account equals the total amount of money allocated to the account divided by the
frequency of transfers selected.
You may terminate your DCA program at any time. If money remains in the DCA
fixed accounts, we transfer the remaining money to the 1-year fixed account
option, unless we receive different instructions from you.
The DCA program is designed to lessen the impact of market fluctuations on your
investment. However, we cannot ensure that you will make a profit. When you
participate in the DCA Program, you are continuously investing in securities
regardless of fluctuating price levels. You should consider your tolerance for
investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
EXAMPLE:
Assume that you want to gradually move $750 each quarter from the Cash
Management Portfolio to the Aggressive Growth Portfolio over six quarters.
You set up dollar cost averaging and purchase Accumulation Units at the
following values:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
- -------------------------------------------
ACCUMULATION UNITS
QUARTER UNIT PURCHASED
- -------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C>
1 $ 7.50 100
2 $ 5.00 150
3 $10.00 75
4 $ 7.50 100
5 $ 5.00 150
6 $ 7.50 100
- -------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
You paid an average price of only $6.67 per Accumulation Unit over six
quarters, while the average market price actually was $7.08. By investing
an equal amount of money each month, you automatically buy more
Accumulation Units when the market price is low and fewer Accumulation
Units when the market price is high. This example is for illustrative
purposes only.
ASSET ALLOCATION REBALANCING
Earnings in your Contract may cause the percentage of your investment in each
investment option to differ from your original allocations. The Automatic Asset
Rebalancing program addresses this situation. At your election, we periodically
rebalance your investments in the Variable Portfolios to return your allocations
to their original percentages. You request quarterly, semi-annual or annual
rebalancing.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
EXAMPLE:
Assume that you want your initial Purchase Payment split between two
Portfolios. You want 50% in the Corporate Bond Portfolio and 50% in the
Growth Portfolio. Over the next calendar quarter, the bond
11
<PAGE> 19
market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of
the calendar quarter, the Corporate Bond Portfolio now represents 60% of
your holdings because it has increased in value and the Growth Portfolio
represents 40% of your holdings. If you had chosen quarterly rebalancing,
on the last day of that quarter, we would sell some of your units in the
Corporate Bond Portfolio to bring its holdings back to 50% and use the
money to buy more units in the Growth Portfolio to increase those holdings
to 50%.
VOTING RIGHTS
Anchor National is the legal owner of the Trusts' shares. However, when a
Portfolio solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders, we must
obtain your instructions on how to vote those shares. We vote all of the shares
we own in proportion to your instructions. This includes any shares we own on
our own behalf. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply
with these rules, we will vote the shares in our own right.
SUBSTITUTION
If Portfolios become unavailable for investment, we may be required to
substitute shares of another Portfolio. We will seek prior approval of the SEC
and give you notice before substituting shares.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
You can access money in your Contract in three ways:
- by receiving income payments during the Income Phase, SEE INCOME OPTIONS
ON PAGE 15; or
- by taking a loan in accordance with the provisions of your Plan and/or
this Contract (TSA only); or
- subject to the restrictions described below, by making a partial or total
withdrawal.
We may be required to suspend or postpone the payment of a withdrawal for any
period of time when: (1) the NYSE is closed (other than a customary weekend and
holiday closings); (2) trading with the NYSE is restricted; (3) an emergency
exists such that disposal of or determination of the value of shares of the
Portfolios is not reasonably practicable; (4) the SEC, by order, so permits for
the protection of contract owners.
Additionally, we reserve the right to defer payments for a withdrawal from a
fixed account option. Such deferrals are limited to no longer than six months.
We may deduct a withdrawal charge applicable to any total or partial withdrawal,
and a market value adjustment if a total or partial withdrawal comes from the 1,
3 or 5 year MVA fixed accounts unless the withdrawal qualifies for withdrawal
charge exception. SEE INVESTMENT OPTIONS ON PAGE 8 AND EXPENSES ON PAGE 14.
We may establish certain minimum withdrawal amounts or require that a minimum
amount remain in a Portfolio upon withdrawal. Please consult the Annuity Service
Center for additional information. You must send a written withdrawal request.
Unless you provide us with different instructions, partial withdrawals will be
made pro rata from each Variable Portfolio and each fixed account option in
which you are invested.
WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS
Withdrawals under Section 403(b) Contracts are subject to the limitations under
Section 403(b)(11) of the IRC and any applicable Plan document. Section 403(b)
provides that salary reduction contributions deposited and earnings credited on
any salary reduction contributions after December 31, 1988 may only be withdrawn
upon (1) death; (2) disability; (3) reaching age 59 1/2; (4) separation from
service; or (5) occurrence of a hardship. Amounts accumulated in one Section
403(b)(1) Contract may be transferred to another Section 403(b)(1) Contract or
Section 403(b)(7) custodial account without a penalty under the IRC. Amounts
accumulated in a Section 403(b)(7) custodial account and deposited in a contract
will be subject to the same withdrawal restrictions as are applicable to
post-1988 salary reduction contributions. For more information on these
provisions. SEE TAXES ON PAGE 19.
If your Plan is subject to Title I of ERISA, your withdrawal request must be
authorized by the Contractholder on your behalf. All withdrawal requests will
require the Contractholder's written authorization and written documentation
specifying the portion of your Contract value which is available for
distribution to you.
If your Plan is not subject to Title I of ERISA and you own a TSA, you must
certify to Anchor National that, one of the events listed in the IRC has
occurred (and provide supporting information, if requested) and that Anchor
National may rely on such representation in granting such a withdrawal request.
The above does not apply to transfers to other Qualified investment
alternatives. SEE TAXES ON PAGE 19. You should consult your tax adviser as well
as review the provisions of any applicable Plan before requesting a withdrawal.
In addition to the restrictions noted above, a Plan may contain additional
withdrawal or transfer restrictions.
Early withdrawals from a TSA or IRA, as defined under Section 72(q) and 72(t) of
the IRC, may be subject to 10% penalty tax.
TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
If you participate in the Texas Optional Retirement Program ("ORP") you must
obtain a certificate of termination from
12
<PAGE> 20
your employer before you can redeem contract. We impose this requirement on you
because the Texas Attorney General ruled that participants in ORP may redeem
their contract only upon termination of their employment by Texas public
institutions of higher education, or upon retirement death or total disability.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
If you elect and the terms of any applicable Plan and/or the IRC allow, then we
use money in your contract to pay you monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual
payments during the Accumulation Phase. Electronic transfer of these funds to
your bank account is also available. However, any such payments you elect to
receive are subject to all applicable withdrawal charges, market value
adjustments, income taxes, tax penalties and other withdrawal restrictions
affecting your Contract. The minimum amount of each withdrawal is $50. There
must be a least $500 remaining in your contract at all times. Withdrawals may be
taxable and a 10% IRS tax penalty may apply if you are under age 59 1/2 at the
time of withdrawal. There is no additional charge for participating in this
program.
The program is not available to everyone. Please check with our Annuity Service
Center, which can provide the necessary enrollment forms. We reserve the right
to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENTS, INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND
CERTAIN WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY WITHDRAWAL YOU MAKE, INCLUDING
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS.
LOANS
If you own a TSA and, if applicable, your Plan permits, you may take a loan from
your Contract during the Accumulation Period. You may apply for a loan under the
contract by completing a loan application available from Anchor National. Loans
are secured by a portion of your Contract value. Under certain Contracts, we may
charge a one-time fee of up to $75 to set up a loan. More information about
loans, including interest rates, restrictions, terms of repayment and applicable
fees and charges is available in the Certificate, Endorsement and the Loan
Agreement as well as from Anchor National's Annuity Service Center.
FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT
If your contract is subject to withdrawal charge schedule A, you may be able to
withdraw 15% of your Purchase Payments each contract year, free of a contractual
withdrawal charge. The amount available for free withdrawal each year is reduced
by the amount of any Purchase Payment previously withdrawn in that contract
year.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
Where permitted by state law, we may terminate your contract if both of the
following occur: (1) your contract is less than $500 as a result of withdrawals;
and (2) you have not made any Purchase Payments during the past three years. We
will provide you with sixty days written notice. At the end of the notice
period, we will distribute the contract's remaining value to you.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
If you die during the Accumulation Phase of your contract, we pay a death
benefit to your Beneficiary. The death benefit (unless limited by your Plan)
equals the greater of:
1. Total Purchase Payments minus total withdrawals (and any fees and
charges applicable to those withdrawals) at the time we receive
satisfactory proof of death, or;
2. Contract Value at the time we receive satisfactory proof of death.
We do not pay the death benefit if you die after you switch to the Income Phase.
However, if you die during the Income Phase, your Beneficiary receives any
remaining guaranteed income payments (or a portion thereof) in accordance with
the income option you selected. SEE INCOME OPTIONS ON PAGE 15.
You name your Beneficiary. You may change the Beneficiary at any time, unless
you previously made an irrevocable Beneficiary designation. Plans subject to
Title 1 of ERISA may impose additional restrictions on beneficiary designation
which are discussed in the Beneficiary Designation Form.
We pay the death benefit when we receive satisfactory proof of death. We
consider the following satisfactory proof of death:
1. a certified copy of the death certificate; or
2. a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to
the finding of death; or
3. a written statement by a medical doctor who attended the deceased at the
time of death; or
4. any other proof satisfactory to us.
We may require additional proof before we pay the death benefit.
The death benefit payment must begin immediately upon receipt of all necessary
documents. In any event, the death benefit must be paid by December 31 of the
calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of death unless the
Beneficiary elects to have it payable in the form of an income option. If the
Beneficiary elects an income option, it must be paid over the Beneficiary's
lifetime or for a period not
13
<PAGE> 21
extending beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy. Payments must begin on or
before December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the year of your
death.
If the Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving spouse, the surviving spouse
may elect to receive the entire death benefit in equal or substantially equal
payments over their life or over a period not longer than their life expectancy,
commencing at any date prior to the later of:
(i) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar
year in which the Participant died, and
(ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have
attained age 70 1/2.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
EXPENSES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
There are charges and expenses associated with your contract. These charges and
expenses reduce your investment return. We will not increase the insurance and
withdrawal fees and charges under your contract. However, investment charges may
increase or decrease. Some states may require that we charge less than the
amounts described below.
INSURANCE CHARGES
Insurance charges may vary by Plan or group contract. Currently, the insurance
charge on this contract ranges from .55% to a maximum of 1.25% annually of the
average daily value of your contract allocated to the Variable Portfolios. The
insurance charges applicable to your contract can be obtained by contacting your
Plan Sponsor, Employer or financial advisor or consulting your Contract Data
page. We deduct this charge daily. There is no insurance charge deducted against
amounts allocated to the fixed account options.
The insurance charge compensates us for the mortality and expense risks and the
costs of contract distribution assumed by Anchor National.
If these charges do not cover all of our expenses, we will pay the difference.
Likewise, if these charges exceed our expenses, we will keep the difference.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGES
A withdrawal charge may apply against each Purchase Payment you put into the
contract if you seek withdrawal of that payment prior to the end of a specified
period.
The withdrawal charge amount may vary by Plan. If applicable, the withdrawal
charge equals a percentage of the Purchase Payment you take out of the contract.
The withdrawal charge percentage may decline over time for each Purchase Payment
in the contract. The applicable withdrawal charge schedule will appear on your
Contract Data Page.
Currently, the withdrawal charges range from 0% to the maximum withdrawal
charge, as noted:

You may obtain information as to the withdrawal charge applicable to your
contract by contacting your Plan Sponsor, Employer, financial adviser or by
consulting your Contract Data page.
When calculating the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first
from the Purchase Payments that have been in your contract the longest. However,
for tax purposes, your withdrawals are considered earnings first, then Purchase
Payments.
Whenever possible, we deduct the withdrawal charge from the money remaining in
your contract. If you withdraw all of your contract value, we deduct any
applicable withdrawal charge from the amount withdrawn.
We calculate charges due on a total withdrawal as of the day after we receive
your request and your contract. We return your contract value less any
applicable fees and charges. You will not receive the benefit of any available
and prior free withdrawal amounts (applicable only to those subject to
withdrawal charge Schedule A) if you make a complete withdrawal of your
contract.
Both the insurance charges and the withdrawal charges may vary by Plan and/or
group contract based on certain objective factors. SEE REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION
OF CHARGES AND EXPENSES, AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS CREDITED.
EXCEPTIONS TO WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
If a withdrawal charge applies to your contract a withdrawal charge is not
applicable to withdrawals requested in the following situations:
- Annuitization (except if under the Income Protector Program) SEE INCOME
OPTIONS ON PAGE 15;
- Death Benefits, SEE DEATH BENEFIT ON PAGE 13;
- After your 10th contract anniversary;
- If you are subject to withdrawal charge Schedule A, 15% of your Purchase
Payments each contract year;
- Disability occurring after contract issue;
- Hardship occurring after contract issue;
- After separation from service occurring after contract issue.
- loans in accordance with the requirements of ERISA and/or the IRC, the
Plan and the Contract; and
14
<PAGE> 22
- to avoid Federal Income Tax penalties or satisfy income tax rules
applicable to the Contract from which the withdrawal is made.
Additionally, upon conversion to an IRA from an existing Polaris Plus 403(b)
contract, IRA contract holders will receive credit for time served in their
prior Polaris Plus TSA variable annuity investment. This means we will carry
over the 403(b) Purchase Payment history with respect to any potential
withdrawal charges under the IRA.
Withdrawals made prior to age 59 1/2 may result in tax penalties. SEE TAXES ON
PAGE 19.
INVESTMENT CHARGES
Charges are deducted from your Variable Portfolios for the advisory and other
expenses of the Portfolios. THE FEE TABLES LOCATED ON PAGE 4 illustrate these
charges and expenses. For more detailed information on these investment charges,
refer to the prospectuses for the Trusts, enclosed or attached.
TRANSFER FEE
We currently permit an unlimited number of transfers between investment options,
every year. We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers to 15 per
year, in the future, for both new and existing contract holders. If we do impose
such a limit you will be charged $25 for each transfer over that limit. SEE
INVESTMENT OPTIONS ON PAGE 8.
PREMIUM TAX
Certain states charge the Company a tax on the premiums you pay into the
contract. Currently we deduct the charge for premium taxes when you make a full
withdrawal or annuitize the contract. In the future, we may assess this
deduction at the time you put Purchase Payment(s) into the contract or upon
payment of a death benefit.
APPENDIX A provides more information about premium taxes.
INCOME TAXES
We do not currently deduct income taxes from your contract. We reserve the right
to do so in the future.
REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF CHARGES AND EXPENSES, AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS
CREDITED
Sometimes sales of the contracts to groups of similarly situated individuals may
lower our administrative and/or sales expenses. We reserve the right to reduce
or waive certain charges and expenses when this type of sale occurs. In
addition, we may also credit additional interest to policies sold to such
groups. We determine which groups are eligible for such treatment. Some of the
criteria we evaluate to make a determination are: size of the group; amount of
expected Purchase Payments; relationship existing between us and prospective
purchaser; nature of the purchase; length of time a group of contracts is
expected to remain active; purpose of the purchase and whether that purpose
increases the likelihood that our expenses will be reduced; and/or any other
factors that we believe indicate that administrative and/or sales expenses may
be reduced.
Anchor National may make a similar determination regarding sales to its
employees, its affiliates' employees and employees of currently contracted
broker-dealers; its registered representatives and immediate family members of
all of those described.
We reserve the right to change or modify any such determination or the treatment
applied to a particular group, at any time.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
INCOME OPTIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY DATE
During the Income Phase, the money in your contract is used to make regular
income payments to you. You may switch to the Income Phase any time. You select
the month and year in which you want income payments to begin. The first day of
that month is the Annuity Date. You may change your Annuity Date, so long as you
do so at least seven days before the income payments are scheduled to begin.
Once you begin receiving income payments, you cannot change your income option.
Except as indicated under option 5, once you begin receiving income payments,
you cannot otherwise access your money through withdrawal or surrender.
Generally, for Qualified contracts, the Annuity Date may be any day after you
reach age 59 1/2 but not later than your 75th birthday. However, you may be
required to begin taking minimum distributions by April 1 following the later
of, the year in which you turn age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you
retire. SEE TAXES ON PAGE 19.
As to TSAs and IRAs, an income payment is generally considered a withdrawal.
Therefore, IRC withdrawal restrictions may limit the time at which income
payments may begin. SEE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY ON PAGE 12.
If the Annuity Date is past your 85th birthday, your contract could lose its
status as an annuity under Federal tax laws. This may cause you to incur adverse
tax consequences.
INCOME OPTIONS
Currently, this contract offers 5 income options. If you elect to receive income
payments but do not select an option, your income payments will be made in
accordance with option 4 for a period of 10 years. For income payments selected
for joint lives, we pay according to option 3.
We base our calculation of income payments on the life of the Annuitant and the
annuity rates set forth in your contract. Under a TSA you, as the Participant,
are always the Annuitant. Under an IRA You as the Owner must always be the
Annuitant. UNDER CERTAIN QUALIFIED CONTRACTS THE INCOME OPTION YOU SELECT MAY
NOT EXCEED YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY.
15
<PAGE> 23
OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME ANNUITY
This option provides income payments for the life of the Annuitant. Income
payments stop when the Annuitant dies.
OPTION 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY
This option provides income payments for the life of the Annuitant and for the
life of another designated person. Upon the death of either person, we will
continue to make income payments during the lifetime of the survivor. Income
payments stop whenever the survivor dies.
OPTION 3 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH
10 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED
This option is similar to option 2 above, with an additional guarantee of income
payments for at least 10 or 20 years. If the Annuitant and the Survivor die
before all of the guaranteed income payments have been made, the remaining
payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract.
OPTION 4 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10, 15 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED
This option is similar to option 1 above. In addition, this option provides a
guarantee that income payments will be made for at least 10, 15 or 20 years. You
select the number of years. If the Annuitant dies before all guaranteed income
payments are made, the remaining income payments go to the Beneficiary under
your contract.
OPTION 5 - INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD
This option provides income payments for a guaranteed period ranging from 5 to
30 years. If the Annuitant dies before all the guaranteed income payments are
made, the remaining income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your
contract. Additionally, if variable income payments are elected under this
option, you (or the Beneficiary under the contract if the Annuitant dies prior
to all guaranteed payments being made) may redeem the contract value after the
Annuity Date. The amount available upon such redemption would be the discounted
present value of any remaining guaranteed payments.
The value of an Annuity Unit, regardless of the option chosen, takes into
account the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. Since annuity option 5, Income
for a Specified Period, does not contain an element of mortality risk, the payee
is not getting the benefit of this Charge. There shall be no right to terminate
the Contract during the Income Phase if the option elected contains an element
of mortality risk.
FIXED OR VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
You can choose income payments that are fixed, variable or both. If at the date
when income payments begin you are invested in the Variable Portfolios only,
your income payments will be variable. If your money is only in fixed accounts
at that time, your income payments will be fixed in amount. Further, if you are
invested in both fixed and variable investment options when income payments
begin, your payments will be fixed and variable. Anchor National guarantees any
amount of each payment which is invested in a fixed account during the income
phase. If the income payments are variable the amount is not guaranteed.
INCOME PAYMENTS
Your income payments will vary if you are invested in the Variable Portfolios
after the Annuity Date depending on four things:
- for life options, your age when payments begin, and;
- the value of your contract in the Variable Portfolios on the Annuity
Date, and;
- the 3.5% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the
contract, and;
- the performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you are invested
during the time you receive income payments.
If you are invested in both the fixed account options and the Variable
Portfolios after the Annuity Date, the allocation of funds between the fixed and
variable options also impacts the amount of your annuity payments.
We make income payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.
You instruct us to send you a check or to have the payments directly deposited
into your bank account. If state law allows, we distribute annuities with a
contract value of $5,000 or less in a lump sum. Also, if the selected income
option results in income payments of less than $50 per payment, we may decrease
the frequency of the payments, state law allowing.
TRANSFERS DURING THE INCOME PHASE
If you are invested in the Variable Portfolios during the Income Phase, one
transfer per month is permitted between the Variable Portfolios. No other
transfers are allowed during the Income Phase.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may defer making fixed payments for up to six months, or less if required by
law. Interest is credited to you during the deferral period.
Please read the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") for a more detailed
discussion of the income options.
THE INCOME PROTECTOR
If elected, this feature provides a future "safety net" in the event that, when
you choose to begin receiving income payments, your contract has not performed
within a historically anticipated range. The Income Protector program offers you
the ability to receive a guaranteed fixed minimum retirement income upon
annuitization. With the Income Protector you can know the level of minimum
income that will be available to you if, when you chose to begin the income
phase of your contract, down markets have negatively impacted your contract
value. We reserve the right to modify,
16
<PAGE> 24
suspend or terminate the Income Protector program at any time.
The Income Protector provides two levels of minimum retirement income. The two
available options are the Income Protector Plus and Max. If you enroll in the
Income Protector program, we charge a fee based on the level of protection you
select. The amount of the fee and how to enroll are described below. In order to
utilize the benefit of the program you must follow the provisions discussed
below.
Certain IRC restrictions on income options available to Qualified retirement
investors may have an impact on your ability to benefit from this feature.
Qualified investors should read NOTE TO QUALIFIED CONTRACT HOLDERS, below.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF YOUR MINIMUM
GUARANTEED INCOME
We base the amount of minimum income available to you if you take income
payments using the Income Protector upon a calculation we call the Income
Benefit Base. At the time your enrollment in the Income Protector program
becomes effective, your Income Benefit Base is equal to your contract value.
Your participation becomes effective on either the date of issue of the contract
(if elected at the time of application) or on the contract anniversary following
your enrollment in the program.
The Income Benefit Base is only a calculation. It does not represent a contract
value, nor does it guarantee performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you
invest.
Your Income Benefit Base increases if you make subsequent Purchase Payments and
decreases if you withdraw money from your contract. The exact Income Benefit
Base calculation is equal to (a) plus (b) minus (c) where:
(a) is,
- for the first year of calculation, your contract value on the date
your participation in the program became effective, or;
- for each subsequent year of calculation, the Income Benefit Base on
the prior contract anniversary, and;
(b) is the sum of all Purchase Payments made into the contract since the
last contract anniversary, and;
(c) is all withdrawals and applicable fees and charges since the last
contract anniversary (excluding any positive MVA), in an amount
proportionate to the amount by which such withdrawals decreased your
contract value.
The Income Benefit Base accumulates at one of the following annual growth rates
from the date your enrollment becomes effective through your election to begin
receiving income under the program:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
- ----------------------------------------------------
Options Growth Rate*
- ----------------------------------------------------
<S> <C>
The Income Protector Plus 3.25%
- ----------------------------------------------------
The Income Protector Max 5.25%
- ----------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
* If you elect the Plus or Max feature on a subsequent anniversary, the Growth
Rates may be different.
The growth rates for the Plus or Max features cease on the contract anniversary
following the Annuitant's 90th birthday.
ENROLLING IN THE PROGRAM
If you decide that you want the protection offered by the Income Protector
program, you must elect the option of your choice by completing the Income
Protector Election Form available through our Annuity Service Center. You may
only elect one of the options, you can not change your election once made, and
you can not terminate your enrollment. In order to obtain the benefit of the
Income Protector program you may not begin the income phase for at least seven
years following your enrollment.
STEP-UP OF YOUR INCOME BENEFIT BASE
You may also have the opportunity to "Step-Up" your Income Benefit Base. The
Step-Up feature allows you to increase your Income Benefit Base to the amount of
your contract value on your contract anniversary. You can only elect to Step-Up
within the 30 days before the next contract anniversary. The seven year waiting
period required prior to electing income payments through the Income Protector
is restarted if you step-up your Income Benefit Base.
You must complete the appropriate portion of the Income Protector Election Form
to effect a Step-Up.
ELECTING TO RECEIVE INCOME PAYMENTS
You may elect to begin the Income Phase of your contract using the Income
Protector Program ONLY within the 30 days after the seventh or later contract
anniversary following the later of,
- the effective date of your enrollment in the Income Protector program, or
- the contract anniversary of your most recent Step-Up.
The contract anniversary prior to your election to begin receiving income
payments is your Income Benefit Date. This is the date as of which we calculate
your Income Benefit Base to use in determining your guaranteed minimum fixed
retirement income. To arrive at the minimum guaranteed fixed retirement income
available to you, we apply the annuity rates stated in your Income Protector
Endorsement for the income option you select to your final Income Benefit Base.
17
<PAGE> 25
You then choose if you would like to receive that income annually, quarterly or
monthly for the time guaranteed under your selected annuity option. Your final
Income Benefit Base is equal to (a) minus (b) where:
(a) is your Income Benefit Base as your Income Benefit Date, and;
(b) is any partial withdrawals of contract value and any charges applicable
to those withdrawals (excluding any positive MVA) and any withdrawal
charges otherwise applicable, calculated as if you fully surrender your
contract as the Income Benefit Date, and any applicable premium taxes.
The income options available when using the Income Protector program to receive
your retirement income are:
- Life Annuity with 10 Year Period Certain, or
- Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity with 20 Year Period Certain
At the time you elect to begin the income phase, we will calculate your annual
income using both your final Income Benefit Base and your contract value. We
will use the same income option for each calculation, however, the annuity
factors used to calculate your income under the Income Protector will be
different. You will receive whichever provides a greater stream of income. If
you take Income Payments using the Income Protector your payments will be fixed
in amount. You are not required to use the Income Protector to receive your
Income Payments. The general provisions of your contract provide other income
options. However, we will not refund fees paid for the Income Protector if you
begin taking Income Payments under the general provisions of your contract. YOU
MAY NEVER NEED TO RELY UPON THE INCOME PROTECTOR, IF YOUR CONTRACT PERFORMS
WITHIN A HISTORICALLY ANTICIPATED RANGE. HOWEVER, PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO
GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Qualified contracts generally require that you select an income option which
does not exceed your life expectancy. That restriction may limit the benefit of
the Income Protector program. To utilize the Income Protector you must take
income payments under one of two income options. If those income options exceed
your life expectancy you may be prohibited from receiving your guaranteed fixed
income under the program. If you own a Qualified contract to which this
restriction applies and you elect the Income Protector program, you may pay for
this minimum guarantee and not be able to realize the benefit.
Generally, for qualified contracts:
- for the Life Annuity with 10 Year Period Certain, you must annuitize
before age 79, and
- for the Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity with 20 Year Period Certain, both
Annuitants must be 70 or younger or one of the annuitants must be 65 or
younger upon annuitization. Other age combinations may be available.
You should consult your tax advisor for information concerning your particular
circumstances.
FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOME PROTECTOR
We charge a fee for the Income Protector program, as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
- -------------------------------------------------------
Fee As a % of
Your Income
Options Benefit Base
- -------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C>
Income Protector Plus .15%
- -------------------------------------------------------
Income Protector Max .30%
- -------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
Since the Income Benefit Base is only a calculation and does not provide a
contract value, we deduct the fee from your actual contract value beginning on
the contract anniversary on which your enrollment in the program becomes
effective.
If you elect to participate in the Income Protector program at contract issue,
we begin deducting the annual fee for the Plus or Max option when your
participation becomes effective. If you elect to participate in the Income
Protector program at some time after contract issue, we begin deducting the
annual fee on the contract anniversary of or following election. We will deduct
this charge from your contract value on every contract anniversary up to and
including your Income Benefit Date. Additionally, we deduct the entire annual
fee from any full surrender of your contract requested prior to your contract
anniversary.
After a Step-Up, the fee for the Income Protector Max or Plus will be based on
your Stepped-Up Income Benefit Base, and will be deducted from your contract
value beginning on the effective date of the step-up.

TAXES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: WE PREPARED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON TAXES AS A GENERAL DISCUSSION OF
THE SUBJECT. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. WE CAUTION YOU TO SEEK COMPETENT TAX ADVICE
ABOUT YOUR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE TAX STATUS OF YOUR
ANNUITY. TAX LAWS CONSTANTLY CHANGE, THEREFORE WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS COMPLETE AND/OR ACCURATE.
ANNUITY CONTRACTS IN GENERAL
If you purchase your Contract under a pension plan, a specially sponsored
employer program or as an individual retirement account, your contract is
referred to as a Qualified contract. Examples of Qualified plans are: IRAs,
TSAs, H.R. 10 Plans (referred to as Keogh Plans) as well as pension and profit
sharing plans, including 401(k) plans. Typically you have not paid any tax on
the Purchase Payments used to buy your contract and therefore, you have no cost
basis in your Contract.
The IRC provides for special rules regarding the tax treatment of annuity
contracts. Generally, taxes on the earnings in your annuity contract are
deferred until you take the money out. Different rules apply depending on how
you take the money out and whether your contract is Qualified or Non-qualified.
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS -
QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Generally, you have not paid any taxes on the Purchase Payments used to buy a
Qualified contract. Any amount of money you take out as a withdrawal or as
income payments is taxable income. The IRC further provides for a 10% penalty
tax on any withdrawal or income payment paid to you other than in conjunction
with the following circumstances: (1) after reaching age 59 1/2; (2) when paid
to your Beneficiary after you die; (3) after you become disabled (as defined in
the IRC); (4) in a series of substantially equal installments made for your life
or for the joint lives of you and your Beneficiary; (5) to the extent such
withdrawals do not exceed limitations set by the IRC for amounts paid during the
taxable year for medical care; (6) to fund higher education expenses (as defined
in IRC); (7) to fund certain first-time home purchase expenses; and, except in
the case of an IRA; (8) when you separate from service after attaining age 55;
and (9) when paid to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order.
TSA PLANS
Section 403(b) of the IRC permits the purchase of TSA by public schools and
certain charitable, educational and scientific organizations described in
Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC. A qualifying Employer may make contributions to
the Contract for the benefit of an employee who is a Participant, and/or the
Participant may enter into a salary reduction agreement with the Participant's
Employer authorizing the Employer to contribute a percentage of the
Participant's salary to the Section 403(b) contract. All contributions made to a
Section 403(b) contract are subject to the limitations described in IRC Sections
402(g) regarding elective deferral amounts, 403(b)(2) regarding the maximum
exclusion allowance, and 415(a)(2) and 415(c) regarding the limitations on
annual additions. Most contributions to a 403(b) contract are not includible in
the Participant's gross income until the Participant receives distributions from
the Contract.
A Participant who makes a withdrawal from a Section 403(b) contract must declare
that amount in current income, therefore it is taxed at ordinary income tax
rates. In addition, Section 403(b)(11) of the IRC requires that salary reduction
contributions made, and/or earnings credited on any salary reduction
contributions after December 31, 1988, may not be withdrawn from the
Participant's Section 403(b) contract prior to an "eligible event", such as the
Participant having
19
<PAGE> 27
(1) attained age 59 1/2, (2) separated from service, (3) become disabled (as
defined by the IRC), (4) died or (5) incurred a hardship (as defined by the
IRC). Hardship withdrawals may not include any earnings credited after December
31, 1988 attributable to salary reduction contributions. The Internal Revenue
Service has decided in Revenue Ruling 90-24 that amounts may be transferred
between Section 403(b) investment vehicles as long as the transferred funds
retain withdrawal restrictions at least as restrictive as that of the
transferring investment vehicle. Such transferred amounts are considered
withdrawals under the Contract and will be subject to withdrawal charges, if
applicable. (SEE EXPENSES ON PAGE 14 for more complete information).
Section 403(b)(8) of the IRC permits tax-free rollovers from Section 403(b)
contracts to IRAs or other Section 403(b) contracts under certain circumstances.
Qualified distributions eligible for rollover treatment may be subject to a 20%
federal tax withholding depending on whether or not the distribution is paid
directly to an eligible retirement plan.
The IRC sets forth additional restrictions governing Section 403(b) contracts on
such items as transferability, distributions, nondiscrimination and withdrawals.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an
individual retirement program known as an "Individual Retirement Annuity"
("IRA"). Under applicable limitations, certain amounts may be contributed to an
IRA which will be deductible from the individual's gross income. These IRAs are
subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions, transferability and
distributions. Sales of contracts for use with IRAs are subject to special
requirements imposed by the IRC, including the requirement that certain
informational disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA.
Purchasers of contracts to be qualified as IRAs should obtain competent tax
advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
Under certain circumstances, the IRC may impose a 10% penalty tax on the taxable
portion of any distribution form a 408(b) arrangement.
The 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable portion of a distribution unless one
or more of the following have occurred: (1) You have attained age 59 1/2; (2)
You have become totally and permanently disabled (as defined by the IRC); (3)
You have died; (4) The distribution is rolled over in accordance with the IRC;
(5) The distribution is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least
annually) over your life or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life
expectancies of you and your beneficiary; (6) The distribution equals
unreimbursed medical expenses that qualify for a deduction as specified in the
IRC; (7) The distribution is used to pay for health insurance premiums for
certain unemployed individuals; (8) The amount withdrawn is for a first-time
home purchase; or (9) The amount withdrawn is for higher education expenses
Competent tax advice should be obtained as to the tax treatment and suitability
of purchasing a Contract or converting an existing contract to an IRA.
MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS
If your Contract is issued under a Section 403(b) or other Qualified Plan,
generally the IRS requires that you begin taking annual minimum distributions
from qualified annuity contracts by April 1 of the calendar year following the
later of (1) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 or
(2) the calendar year in which the Participant retires. Failure to satisfy the
minimum distribution requirements may result in a federal tax penalty. You
should consult your tax adviser for more information.
DIVERSIFICATION
The IRC imposes certain diversification requirements on the underlying
investments for a variable annuity. We believe that each underlying Portfolios'
management monitors the Variable Portfolios so as to comply with these
requirements. To be treated as a variable annuity for tax purposes, the
underlying investments must meet these requirements.
The diversification regulations do not provide guidance as to the circumstances
under which you, because of the degree of control you exercise over the
underlying investments, and not Anchor National, would be considered the owner
of the shares of the Portfolios. It is unknown to what extent owners are
permitted to select investments, to make transfers among Portfolios or the
number and type of Portfolios owners may select from. If any guidance is
provided which is considered a new position, then the guidance would generally
be applied prospectively. However, if such guidance is considered not to be a
new position, it may be applied retroactively. This would mean you, as the owner
of the contract, could be treated as an owner of the underlying variable
investment Portfolios. Due to the uncertainty in this area, we reserve the right
to modify the contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
PERFORMANCE
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
We may advertise the Cash Management Portfolio's yield and effective yield. In
addition, the other Variable Portfolios may advertise total return, gross yield
and yield-to-maturity. These figures represent past performance of the
Portfolios. These performance numbers do not indicate future results.
From time to time, we may advertise performance for periods prior to the date
the contracts were first issued, we derive the figures from the performance of
the corresponding Portfolios for the Trusts, if available. These Trusts have
been in existence for some time. We do this to demonstrate how the historical
investment experience of the funds affects
20
<PAGE> 28
accumulation unit values. We modify these numbers to reflect charges and
expenses as if the contract was in existence during the period stated in the
advertisement. Figures calculated in this manner do not represent actual
historic performance of the particular Portfolio. Consult the SAI for more
detailed information regarding the calculation of performance data.
The performance of each Portfolio may also be measured against unmanaged market
indices. The indices we use include but are not limited to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500, the Russell 1000 Growth Index,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia and Far East Index
("EAFE") and the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index. We may
compare the Portfolios' performance to that of other variable annuities with
similar objectives and policies as reported by independent ranking agencies such
as Morningstar, Inc., Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. or Variable Annuity
Research & Data Service ("VARDS").
Anchor National may also advertise the rating and other information assigned to
it by independent industry ratings organizations. Some of those organizations
are A.M. Best Company ("A.M. Best"), Moody's Investor's Service ("Moody's"),
Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services ("S&P"), and Duff & Phelps. A.M.
Best's and Moody's ratings reflect their current opinion of our financial
strength and performance in comparison to others in the life and health
insurance industry. S&P's and Duff & Phelps' ratings measure the ability of an
insurance company to meet its obligations under insurance policies it issues.
These two ratings do not measure the insurer's ability to meet non-policy
obligations. Ratings in general do not relate to the performance of the Variable
Portfolios.

contact our Annuity Service Center at 1-877-999-9205, if you have any comment,
question or service request.

21
<PAGE> 29
received through the automatic payment plan or a salary reduction arrangement,
may also be confirmed quarterly. For all other transactions, we send
confirmations immediately.
During the accumulation and income phases, you will receive a statement of your
transactions over the past quarter and a summary of your account values. It is
your responsibility to review these documents carefully and notify us of any
inaccuracies immediately. We investigate all inquiries. To the extent that we
believe we made an error, we retroactively adjust your contract, provided you
notify us within 30 days of receiving the transaction confirmation or quarterly
statement. Any other adjustments we deem warranted are made as of the time we
receive notice of the error.
YEAR 2000
The year 2000 issue arose from computer programs written using two digits rather
than four digits to define the applicable year. This possibly could have caused
a failure of the information technology systems (IT systems) and other equipment
containing imbedded technology (non-IT systems) in the year 2000. The Company
implemented a plan to address the Year 2000 issue and to assess Year 2000 issues
relating to third parties with which the Company has critical relationships. The
Company's cost to make necessary repairs had no significant impact on its
results of operations. The Company has not experienced any business disruption
from the Year 2000 issue. Its IT and non-IT systems were compliant on January 1,
2000, and there have been no problems related to any third parties compliance.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceeding affecting the Separate Account. Anchor
National and its subsidiaries engage in various kinds of routine litigation. In
management's opinion, these matters are not of material importance to their
respective total assets nor are they material with respect to the Separate
Account.
CUSTODIAN
State Street Bank and Trust Company, 255 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02110, serves as the custodian of the assets of the Separate Account. Anchor
National pays State Street Bank for services provided, based on a schedule of
fees.

APPENDIX B -- MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The market value adjustment reflects the impact that changing interest rate have
on the value of money invested at a fixed interest rate. The longer the period
of time remaining in the term you initially agreed to leave your money in the
fixed investment option, the greater the impact of changing interest rates. The
impact of the market value adjustment can be either positive or negative, and is
computed by multiplying the amount withdrawn, transferred, or annuitized by the
following formula:
(N-T)/12)
[(1+I/(1+J+0.005)] - 1
where:
I = The Guarantee Period interest rate in effect for the Guarantee
Period on the Certificate
J = The Current Interest Rate available for the same Guarantee Period
n = The original term in number of full months rounded up to the nearest
integer for the Guarantee Period to the end of the Calendar Year
t = Time expired in months rounded up to the nearest integer for the
Guarantee Period to the end of the Calendar Year
(n-t) = The number of full months remaining in the Guarantee Period to
the end of the Calendar Year.
The market value adjustment is applied only if the absolute difference between
the Guarantee Period Interest Rate in effect for the Guarantee Period and the
Current Interest Rate for a new Purchase Payment is greater than 0.50%.
Additionally, if the market value adjustment is negative, it may not reduce the
Certificate Value below the sum of Purchase payments made less withdrawals,
accumulated at an effective annual rate of 3% from the date of receipt or
withdrawal to the date of surrender. If the market value adjustment is positive,
the amount added to the Certificate Value may not exceed the amount that if
negative, could be deducted.
EXAMPLES OF THE MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
The examples below assume the following:
(1) You made an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 on October 1, 1998 and
allocated it to the 5-Year Fixed MVA account option. Thus, the original
term, in number of full months, for the Guarantee Period is 63 months
(n=63).
(2) The Guarantee Period Interest rate for the Guarantee Period is 6.00%
(I=0.0600). Therefore, the Certificate Value on the date of withdrawal
is $10,884.66 (assumes 531 days of interest).
(3) You make a partial withdrawal of $5,000 on March 15, 2000, after the
funds have been in the 5-Year Fixed MVA account option for 17 1/2
months. (t=18).
(4) You have not made any transfers, additional Purchase Payments, or
withdrawals with respect to the 5-Year Fixed MVA account.
The sum of purchase payments, less withdrawals, accumulated at an annual
effective rate of 3.00% from the date of deposit or withdrawal to the date of
surrender defines the minimum remaining Certificate Value after the application
of a negative market value adjustment and is calculated as follows ($10,439.40
assumes 531 days of interest at an annual effective rate of 3.00%):
10,439.40-5,000.00=$5,439.40
Therefore, if the market value adjustment is negative, the maximum amount by
which the Certificate Value can be reduced is the Certificate Value prior to the
application of the market value adjustment less the minimum remaining
Certificate Value. Similarly, if the market value adjustment is positive, the
maximum amount by which the Certificate Value is increased, is the Certificate
Value prior to the application of the market value adjustment less the minimum
remaining Certificate Value. In the examples that follow, the maximum market
value adjustment, either positive or negative, is:
5,884.66-5,439.40=$445.26
The market value adjustment is not applied to amounts withdrawn to pay fees or
charges.
B-1
<PAGE> 32
NEGATIVE ADJUSTMENT
Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the Current Interest Rate for the same
Guarantee Period is 6.75% (J=0.0675). Because the absolute difference between
the Guarantee Period Interest Rate (6.00%) and the Current Interest Rate (6.75%)
is greater than 0.50%, the market value adjustment is applicable.
The market value adjustment factor equals:
(n-t)/12)
= [(1+I)/(1+J+0.0050)] - 1
(63-18)/12)
= [(1.06)/(1.0675+0.0050)] - 1
(45/12)
= [(1.06)/(1.0725)] - 1
(3.75)
= (0.988345) - 1
= 0.95699 - 1
= -(0.043011)
The requested withdrawal amount is multiplied by the market value adjustment
factor to determine the market value adjustment:
-0.043011x5,000.00 = -215.05
Because the market value adjustment, in absolute value, is less than the maximum
market value adjustment ($445.26), the full market value adjustment is assessed.
The remaining Certificate Value is further reduced by withdrawal charges applied
only to the requested withdrawal amount of $5,000.00. The withdrawal charge is
not applied to the market value adjustment.
POSITIVE ADJUSTMENT
Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the Current Interest Rate for the same
Guarantee Period is 5.25% (J = 0.0525). Because the absolute difference between
the Guarantee Period Interest Rate (6.00%) and the Current Interest Rate (5.25%)
is greater than 0.50%, the market value adjustment is applicable.
The market value adjustment factor equals:
(n-t)/12)
= [(1+I)/(1+J+0.0050)] - 1
(63-18)/12)
= [(1.06)/(1.0525+0.0050)] - 1
(45/12)
= [(1.06)/(1.0575)] - 1
(3.75)
= (1.002364) - 1
= (1.008894)-1
= (0.008894)
The requested withdrawal amount is multiplied by the market value adjustment
factor to determine the market value adjustment:
0.008894x5,000.00=44.47
Because the market value adjustment, in absolute value, is less than the maximum
market value adjustment ($445.26), the full market value adjustment is assessed.
The remaining Certificate Value is further reduced by withdrawal charges applied
only to the requested withdrawal amount of $5,000.00. The withdrawal charge is
not applied to the market value adjustment.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Variable Annuity Account Seven (the "Separate Account") was originally
established by Anchor National Life Insurance Company (the "Company") on August
28, 1998, pursuant to the provisions of Arizona law, as a segregated asset
account of the Company. The Separate Account meets the definition of a "Separate
Account" under the federal securities laws and is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. This registration does not involve supervision
of the management of the Separate Account or the Company by the SEC.
The assets of the Separate Account are the property of the Company.
However, the assets of the Separate Account, equal to its reserves and other
contract liabilities, are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any
other business the Company may conduct. Income, gains, and losses, whether or
not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are credited to or
charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains, or
losses of the Company.
The Separate Account is divided into Portfolios, with the assets of each
Portfolio invested in the shares of one of the underlying funds. The Company
does not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account, its
Portfolios or the underlying funds. Values allocated to the Separate Account and
the amount of variable annuity payments will vary with the values of shares of
the underlying funds, and are also reduced by contract charges.
The basic objective of a variable annuity contract is to provide
variable annuity payments which will be to some degree responsive to changes in
the economic environment, including inflationary forces and changes in rates of
return available from various types of investments. The contract is designed to
seek to accomplish this objective by providing that variable annuity payments
will reflect the investment performance of the Separate Account with respect to
amounts allocated to it both before and after the Annuity Date. Since the
Separate Account is always fully invested in shares of the underlying funds, its
investment performance reflects the investment performance of those entities.
The values of such shares held by the Separate Account fluctuate and are subject
to the risks of changing economic conditions as well as the risk inherent in the
ability of the underlying funds' managements to make necessary changes in their
Portfolios to anticipate changes in economic conditions. Therefore, the owner
bears the entire investment risk that the basic objectives of the contract may
not be realized, and that the adverse effects of inflation may not be lessened.
There can be no assurance that the aggregate amount of variable annuity payments
will equal or exceed the Purchase Payments made with respect to a particular
account for the reasons described above, or because of the premature death of an
Annuitant.
Another important feature of the contract related to its basic objective
is the Company's promise that the dollar amount of variable annuity payments
made during the lifetime of the Annuitant will not be adversely affected by the
actual mortality experience of the Company or by the actual expenses incurred by
the Company in excess of expense deductions provided for in the contract
(although the Company does not guarantee the amounts of the variable annuity
payments).
GENERAL ACCOUNT
The general account is made up of all of the general assets of the
Company other than those
-3-
<PAGE> 39
allocated to the Separate Account or any other segregated asset account of the
Company. A Purchase Payment may be allocated to the 1, 3, or 5 year market value
adjustment fixed account options and the DCA fixed account options available
in connection with the general account, as elected by the owner at the time of
purchasing a contract or when making a subsequent Purchase Payment. Assets
supporting amounts allocated to fixed investment options become part of the
Company's general account assets and are available to fund the claims of all
classes of customers of the Company, as well as of its creditors. Accordingly,
all of the Company's assets held in the general account will be available to
fund the Company's obligations under the contracts as well as such other claims.
The Company will invest the assets of the general account in the manner
chosen by the Company and allowed by applicable state laws regarding the nature
and quality of investments that may be made by life insurance companies and the
percentage of their assets that may be committed to any particular type of
investment. In general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits
and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal
obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate
mortgages, real estate and certain other investments.
PERFORMANCE DATA
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time the Separate Account may advertise the Cash Management
Portfolio's "yield" and "effective yield." Both yield figures are based on
historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
"yield" of the Cash Management Portfolio refers to the net income generated for
a contract funded by an investment in the Portfolio (which invests in shares of
the Cash Management Portfolio of SunAmerica Series Trust) over a seven-day
period (which period will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then
"annualized." That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during
that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is
shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated
similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the
Portfolio is assumed to be reinvested at the end of each seven day period. The
"effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the
compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. Neither the yield nor the
effective yield takes into consideration the effect of any capital changes that
might have occurred during the seven day period, nor do they reflect the impact
of premium taxes or any withdrawal charges. The impact of other recurring
charges (including the mortality and expense risk charge, distribution expense
charge and contract maintenance fee) on both yield figures is, however,
reflected in them to the same extent it would affect the yield (or effective
yield) for a contract of average size.
In addition, the Separate Account may advertise "total return" data for
its other Portfolios from the inception of the Separate Account. Like the yield
figures described above, total return figures are based on historical data and
are not intended to indicate future performance. The "total return" is a
computed rate of return that, when compounded annually over a stated period of
time and applied to a hypothetical initial investment in a Portfolio made at the
beginning of the period, will produce the same contract value at the end of the
period that the hypothetical investment would have produced over the same period
(assuming a complete redemption of the contract at the end of the period).
Recurring contract charges are reflected in the total return figures in the same
manner as they are reflected in the yield data for contracts funded through the
Cash Management Portfolio.
For periods starting prior to the date the contracts were first offered
to the public, the total return data for the Portfolios of the Separate Account
will be derived from the performance of the corresponding Portfolios of Anchor
Series Trust and SunAmerica Series Trust, modified to reflect the charges and
-4-
<PAGE> 40
expenses as if the Separate Account Portfolio had been in existence since the
inception date of each respective Anchor Series Trust and SunAmerica Series
Trust Portfolio. Thus, such performance figures should not be construed to be
actual historic performance of the relevant Separate Account Portfolio. Rather,
they are intended to indicate the historical performance of the corresponding
Portfolios of Anchor Series Trust and SunAmerica Series Trust, adjusted to
provide direct comparability to the performance of the Portfolios after the date
the contracts were first offered to the public (which will reflect the effect of
fees and charges imposed under the contracts). Anchor Series Trust and
SunAmerica Series Trust have served since their inception as underlying
investment media for Separate Accounts of other insurance companies in
connection with variable contracts not having the same fee and charge schedules
as those imposed under the contracts.
Performance data for the various Portfolios are computed in the manner
described below.
CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
The annualized current yield and the effective yield for the Cash
Management Portfolio for the 7 day period ending January 31, 2000, were 4.17%
and 4.26%, respectively.
Current yield is computed by first determining the Base Period Return
attributable to a hypothetical contract having a balance of one Accumulation
Unit at the beginning of a 7 day period using the formula:
Base Period Return = (EV-SV)/(SV)
where:
SV = value of one Accumulation Unit at the start of a 7 day period
EV = value of one Accumulation Unit at the end of the 7 day period
The change in the value of an Accumulation Unit during the 7 day period
reflects the income received, minus any expenses accrued, during such 7 day
period.
The current yield is then obtained by annualizing the Base Period
Return:
Current Yield = (Base Period Return) x (365/7)
The Cash Management Portfolio also quotes an "effective yield" that
differs from the current yield given above in that it takes into account the
effect of dividend reinvestment in the underlying fund. The
-5-
<PAGE> 41
effective yield, like the current yield, is derived from the Base Period Return
over a 7 day period. However, the effective yield accounts for dividend
reinvestment by compounding the current yield according to the formula:
365/7
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) - 1]
The yield quoted should not be considered a representation of the yield
of the Cash Management Portfolio in the future since the yield is not fixed.
Actual yields will depend on the type, quality and maturities of the investments
held by the underlying fund and changes in interest rates on such investments.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the performance of the Cash
Management Portfolio and for providing a basis for comparison with other
investment alternatives. However, the Cash Management Portfolio's yield
fluctuates, unlike bank deposits or other investments that typically pay a fixed
yield for a stated period of time.
OTHER PORTFOLIOS
The Portfolios of the Separate Account other than the Cash Management
Portfolio also compute their performance data as "total return."

Total return for a Portfolio represents a single computed annual rate of return
that, when compounded annually over a specified time period (one, five, and ten
years, or since inception) and applied to a hypothetical initial investment in a
contract funded by that Portfolio made at the beginning of the period, will
produce the same contract value at the end of the period that the hypothetical
investment would have produced over the same period. The total rate of return
(T) is computed so that it satisfies the formula:
P(1+T)n = ERV
where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
-7-
<PAGE> 43
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment
made at the beginning of the 1, 5, or 10 year period as of
the end of the period (or fractional portion thereof).
As with the Cash Management Portfolio yield figures, total return
figures are derived from historical data and are not intended to be a projection
of future performance.
INCOME PAYMENTS
INITIAL MONTHLY ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The initial income payment is determined by applying separately that
portion of the contract value allocated to the fixed account options and the
Variable Portfolio(s), less any premium tax, and then applying it to the annuity
table specified in the contract for fixed and variable annuity payments. Those
tables are based on a set amount per $1,000 of proceeds applied. The appropriate
rate must be determined by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain
Qualified contracts and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, such
classification is not permitted) and age of the Annuitant and designated second
person, if any, and the income option selected.
The dollars applied are then divided by 1,000 and the result multiplied
by the appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to compute the amount
of the first monthly annuity payment. In the case of a variable annuity, that
amount is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date to
establish the number of Annuity Units representing each variable annuity
payment. The number of Annuity Units determined for the first variable annuity
payment remains constant for the second and subsequent monthly variable annuity
payments, assuming that no reallocation of contract values is made.
SUBSEQUENT MONTHLY PAYMENTS
For fixed income payments, the amount of the second and each subsequent
monthly income payment is the same as that determined above for the first
monthly payment.
For variable income payments, the amount of the second and each
subsequent monthly annuity payment is determined by multiplying the number of
Annuity Units, as determined in connection with the determination of the initial
monthly payment, above, by the Annuity Unit value as of the day preceding the
date on which each income payment is due.
INCOME PAYMENTS UNDER THE INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM
If contract holders elect to begin Income Payments using the Income
Protector Program, the income benefit base if determined as described in the
prospectus. The initial Income Payment is determined by applying the income
benefit base to the annuity table specifically designated for use in conjunction
with the Income Protector Program, either in the contract or in the endorsement
to the contract. Those tables are based on a set amount per $1,000 of income
benefit base applied. Income proceeds applied. The appropriate rate must be
determined by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain Qualified
contracts and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, such classification is
not permitted) and age of the Annuitant and designated second person, if any,
and the Income Option selected.
The income benefit base is applied and then divided by 1,000 and the
result multiplied by the appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to
compute the amount of the first monthly Income Payment. The amount of the second
and each subsequent income payment is the same as that determined above for the
first monthly payment.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUES
The value of an Annuity Unit is determined independently for each
Portfolio.
The annuity tables contained in the contract are based on a 3.5% per
annum assumed investment rate. If the actual net investment rate experienced by
a Portfolio exceed 3.5%, variable income payments derived from allocations to
that Portfolio will increase over time. Conversely, if the actual rate is less
than 3.5%, variable income payments will decrease over time. If the net
investment rate equals 3.5%, the variable income payments will remain constant.
If a higher assumed investment rate had been used, the
-8-
<PAGE> 44
initial monthly payment would be higher, but the actual net investment rate
would also have to be higher in order for income payments to increase (or not
to decrease).
The payee receives the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units each
month. The value of a fixed number of Annuity Units will reflect the investment
performance of the Variable Portfolios elected, and the amount of each income
payment will vary accordingly.
For each Variable Portfolio, the value of an Annuity Unit is determined
by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the preceding month by the Net
Investment Factor for the month for which the Annuity Unit value is being
calculated. The result is then multiplied by a second factor which offsets the
effect of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum which is assumed in
the annuity tables contained in the contract.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor ("NIF") is an index applied to measure the net
investment performance of a Portfolio from one day to the next. The NIF may be
greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an Annuity Unit
may increase, decrease or remain the same.
The NIF for any Portfolio for a certain month is determined by dividing
(a) by (b) where:
(a) is the Accumulation Unit value of the Portfolio determined as of
the end of that month, and
(b) is the Accumulation Unit value of the Portfolio determined as of
the end of the preceding month.
The NIF for a Portfolio for a given month is a measure of the net
investment performance of the Portfolio from the end of the prior month to the
end of the given month. A NIF of 1.000 results in no change; a NIF greater than
1.000 results in an increase; and a NIF less than 1.000 results in a decrease.
The NIF is increased (or decreased) in accordance with the increases (or
decreases, respectively) in the value of a share of the underlying fund in which
the Portfolio invests; it is also reduced by Separate Account asset charges.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Assume that one share of a given Portfolio had an Accumulation Unit
value of $11.46 as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the
last business day in September; that its Accumulation Unit value had been $11.44
at the close of the NYSE on the last business day at the end of the previous
month. The NIF for the month of September is:
NIF = ($11.46/$11.44)
= 1.00174825
The change in Annuity Unit value for a Portfolio from one month to the
next is determined in part by multiplying the Annuity Unit value at the prior
month end by the NIF for that Portfolio for the new month. In addition, however,
the result of that computation must also be multiplied by an additional factor
that takes into account, and neutralizes, the assumed investment rate of 3.5
percent per annum upon which the annuity payment tables are based. For example,
if the net investment rate for a Portfolio (reflected in the NIF) were equal to
the assumed investment rate, the variable annuity payments should remain
constant (i.e., the Annuity Unit value should not change). The monthly factor
that neutralizes the assumed
-9-
<PAGE> 45
investment rate of 3.5 percent per annum is:
(1/12)
1/[(1.035) ] = 0.99713732
In the example given above, if the Annuity Unit value for the Portfolio
was $10.103523 on the last business day in August, the Annuity Unit value on the
last business day in September would have been:
$10.103523 x 1.00174825 x 0.99713732 = $10.092213
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Assume that a male owner, P, owns a contract in connection with which P
has allocated all of his contract value to a single Portfolio. P is also the
sole Annuitant and, at age 60, has elected to annuitize his contract under
Option 4, a Life Annuity With 120 Monthly Payments Guaranteed. As of the last
valuation preceding the Annuity Date, P's Account was credited with 7543.2456
Accumulation Units each having a value of $15.432655, (i.e., P's account value
is equal to 7543.2456 x $15.432655 = $116,412.31). Assume also that the Annuity
Unit value for the Portfolio on that same date is $13.256932, and that the
Annuity Unit value on the day immediately prior to the second income payment
date is $13.327695.
P's first variable income payment is determined from the annuity factor
tables in P's contract, using the information assumed above. From these tables,
which supply monthly annuity factors for each $1,000 of applied contract value,
P's first variable annuity payment is determined by multiplying the factor of
4.92 (Option 4 tables, male Annuitant age 60 at the Annuity Date) by the result
of dividing P's account value by $1,000:
First Payment = 4.92 x ($116,412.31/$1,000) = $572.75
The number of P's Annuity Units (which will be fixed; i.e., it will not
change unless he transfers his Account to another Account) is also determined at
this time and is equal to the amount of the first variable income payment
divided by the value of an Annuity Unit on the day immediately prior to
annuitization:
Annuity Units = $572.75/$13.256932 = 43.203812
P's second variable annuity payment is determined by multiplying the
number of Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit value as of the day immediately
prior to the second payment due date:
Second Payment = 43.203812 x $13.327695 = $575.81
The third and subsequent variable income payments are computed in a
manner similar to the second variable annuity payment.
Note that the amount of the first variable income payment depends on
the contract value in the relevant Portfolio on the Annuity Date and thus
reflects the investment performance of the Portfolio net of fees and charges
during the Accumulation Phase. The amount of that payment determines the number
of Annuity Units, which will remain constant during the Annuity Phase (assuming
no transfers from the Portfolio). The net investment performance of the
Portfolio during the Annuity Phase is reflected in continuing changes during
this phase in the Annuity Unit value, which determines the amounts of the
-10-
<PAGE> 46
second and subsequent variable annuity payments.
TAXES
GENERAL
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
governs taxation of annuities in general. An owner is not taxed on increases in
the value of a contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a
non-annuity distribution or as annuity payments under the annuity option
elected. For a lump sum payment received as a total surrender (total
redemption), the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds
the cost basis of the contract. For a payment received as a withdrawal (partial
redemption), federal tax liability is determined on a last-in, first-out basis,
meaning taxable income is withdrawn before the cost basis of the contract is
withdrawn. For contracts issued in connection with Nonqualified plans, the cost
basis is generally the Purchase Payments, while for contracts issued in
connection with Qualified plans there may be no cost basis. The taxable portion
of the lump sum payment is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Tax penalties may
also apply.
For annuity payments, the taxable portion is determined by a formula
which establishes the ratio that the cost basis of the contract bears to the
total value of annuity payments for the term of the annuity contract. The
taxable portion is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Owners, Annuitants and
Beneficiaries under the contracts should seek competent financial advice about
the tax consequences of distributions under the retirement plan under which the
contracts are purchased.
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For
federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from
the Company and its operations form a part of the Company.
WITHHOLDING TAX ON DISTRIBUTIONS
The Code generally requires the Company (or, in some cases, a plan
administrator) to withhold tax on the taxable portion of any distribution or
withdrawal from a contract. For "eligible rollover distributions" from contracts
issued under certain types of Qualified plans, 20% of the distribution must be
withheld, unless the payee elects to have the distribution "rolled over" to
another eligible plan in a direct "trustee to trustee" transfer. This
requirement is mandatory and cannot be waived by the owner. Withholding on other
types of distributions can be waived.
An "eligible rollover distribution" is the estimated taxable portion of
any amount received by a covered employee from a plan qualified under Section
401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, or from a tax-sheltered annuity qualified under
Section 403(b) of the Code (other than (1) annuity payments for the life (or
life expectancy) of the employee, or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of
the employee and his or her designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of
ten years or more; and (2) distributions required to be made under the Code).
Failure to "roll over" the entire amount of an eligible rollover distribution
(including an amount equal to the 20% portion of the distribution that was
withheld) could have adverse tax consequences, including the imposition of a
penalty tax on premature withdrawals, described later in this section.
Withdrawals or distributions from a contract other than eligible
rollover distributions are also subject to withholding on the estimated taxable
portion of the distribution, but the owner may elect in such cases to waive the
withholding requirement. If not waived, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic
-11-
<PAGE> 47
payments, at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, or (2)
for other distributions, at the rate of 10%. If no withholding exemption
certificate is in effect for the payee, the rate under (1) above is computed by
treating the payee as a married individual claiming 3 withholding exemptions.
DIVERSIFICATION - SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS
Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on
the underlying assets of variable annuity contracts. The Code provides that a
variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for any
period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments are not adequately
diversified, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States
Treasury Department ("Treasury Department"). Disqualification of the contract as
an annuity contract would result in imposition of federal income tax to the
owner with respect to earnings allocable to the contract prior to the receipt of
any payments under the contract. The Code contains a safe harbor provision which
provides that annuity contracts, such as your contract, meet the diversification
requirements if, as of the close of each calendar quarter, the underlying assets
meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company, and no
more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government
securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.
The Treasury Department has issued regulations which establish
diversification requirements for the investment portfolios underlying variable
contracts such as the contracts. The regulations amplify the diversification
requirements for variable contracts set forth in the Code and provide an
alternative to the safe harbor provision described above. Under the regulations
an investment portfolio will be deemed adequately diversified if (1) no more
than 55% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any
one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the
portfolio is represented by any two investments; (3) no more than 80% of the
value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any three
investments; and (4) no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the
portfolio is represented by any four investments. For purposes of determining
whether or not the diversification standards imposed on the underlying assets of
variable contracts by Section 817(h) of the Code have been met, "each United
States government agency or instrumentality shall be treated as a separate
issuer."
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
Multiple annuity contracts which are issued within a calendar year to
the same contract owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one
annuity contract for purposes of determining the tax consequences of any
distribution. Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences including
more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such multiple contracts. The
Company believes that Congress intended to affect the purchase of multiple
deferred annuity contracts which may have been purchased to avoid withdrawal
income tax treatment. Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing
more than one annuity contract in any calendar year.
Partial 1035 Exchanges
Section 1035 of the Code provides that an annuity contract may be
exchanged in a tax-free transaction for another annuity contract. Historically,
it was presumed that only the exchange of an entire contract, as opposed to a
partial exchange, would be accorded tax-free status. In 1998 in Conway vs.
Commissioner, the Tax Court held that the direct transfer of a portion of an
annuity contract into another annuity contract qualified as a non-taxable
exchange. On November 22, 1999, the Internal Revenue Service filed an Action on
Decision which indicated that it acquiesced in the Tax Court decision in Conway.
However, in its acquiesence with the decision of the Tax Court, the Internal
Revenue Service stated hat it will challenge transactions where taxpayers enter
into a series of partial exchanges and annuitizations as part of a design to
avoid application of the 10% premature distribution penalty or other limitations
imposed on annuity contracts under Section 72 of the Code. In the absence of
further guidance from the Internal Revenue Service it is unclear what specific
types of partial exchange designs and transactions will be challenged by the
Internal Revenue Service. Due to the uncertainty in this area owners should
seek their own tax advice.
TAX TREATMENT OF ASSIGNMENTS
An assignment of a contract may have tax consequences, and may also be
prohibited by ERISA in some circumstances. Owners should therefore consult
competent legal advisers should they wish to assign their contracts.

ANCHOR NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Anchor National Life Insurance Company, including its wholly owned
subsidiaries, (the "Company") is an Arizona-domiciled life insurance
company which conducts its business through three segments: annuity
operations, asset management operations and broker-dealer operations.
Annuity operations include the sale and administration of deposit-type
insurance contracts, including fixed and variable annuities, universal
life contracts and guaranteed investment contracts. Asset management
operations, which include the distribution and management of mutual
funds, are conducted by SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. Broker-dealer
operations include the sale of securities and financial services
products, and are conducted by Royal Alliance Associates, Inc.
The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of American
International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), an international insurance and
financial services holding company. At December 31, 1998, the Company
was a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc., a Maryland
Corporation. On January 1, 1999, SunAmerica Inc. merged with and into
AIG in a tax-free reorganization that has been treated as a pooling of
interests for accounting purposes. Thus, SunAmerica Inc. ceased to exist
on that date. However, immediately prior to the date of the merger,
substantially all of the net assets of SunAmerica Inc. were contributed
to a newly formed subsidiary of AIG named SunAmerica Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation. SunAmerica Holdings, Inc. subsequently changed its
name to SunAmerica Inc. ("SunAmerica").
The operations of the Company are influenced by many factors, including
general economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal
government, and policies of state and other regulatory authorities. The
level of sales of the Company's financial products is influenced by many
factors, including general market rates of interest, the strength,
weakness and volatility of equity markets, and terms and conditions of
competing financial products. The Company is exposed to the typical
risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed-income securities,
namely interest rate, option, liquidity and credit risk. The Company
controls its exposure to these risks by, among other things, closely
monitoring and matching the duration of its assets and liabilities,
monitoring and limiting prepayment and extension risk in its portfolio,
maintaining a large percentage of its portfolio in highly liquid
securities, and engaging in a disciplined process of underwriting,
reviewing and monitoring credit risk. The Company also is exposed to
market risk, as market volatility may result in reduced fee income in
the case of assets managed in mutual funds and held in separate
accounts.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and include the accounts of the Company and all of
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain items have been
reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
20
<PAGE> 56
ANCHOR NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Under generally accepted accounting principles, premiums collected on
the non-traditional life and annuity insurance products, such as those
sold by the Company, are not reflected as revenues in the Company's
statement of earnings, as they are recorded directly to policyholders
liabilities upon receipt.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
INVESTED ASSETS: Cash and short-term investments primarily include cash,
commercial paper, money market investments, repurchase agreements and
short-term bank participations. All such investments are carried at cost
plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value, have maturities of
three months or less and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of
reporting cash flows.
Bonds, notes and redeemable preferred stocks available for sale and
common stocks are carried at aggregate fair value and changes in
unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, are credited or charged directly
to shareholder's equity. Bonds, notes and redeemable preferred stocks
are reduced to estimated net realizable value when necessary for
declines in value considered to be other than temporary. Estimates of
net realizable value are subjective and actual realization will be
dependent upon future events.
Mortgage loans are carried at amortized unpaid balances, net of
provisions for estimated losses. Policy loans are carried at unpaid
balances. Separate account seed money consists of seed money for mutual
funds used as investment vehicles for the Company's variable annuity
separate accounts and is valued at market. Limited partnerships are
accounted for by the cost method of accounting. Real estate is carried
at cost, reduced by impairment provisions. Other invested assets include
collateralized bond obligations.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are recognized in
operations at the date of sale and are determined by using the specific
cost identification method. Premiums and discounts on investments are
amortized to investment income by using the interest method over the
contractual lives of the investments.
INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS: The net differential to be paid or
received on interest rate swap agreements ("Swap Agreements") entered
into to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates is recognized
over the lives of the agreements, and such differential is classified as
Investment Income or Interest Expense in the income statement.
Initially, Swap Agreements are designated as hedges and, therefore, are
not marked to market. However, when a hedged asset/liability is sold or
repaid before the related Swap Agreement matures, the Swap Agreement is
marked to market and any gain/loss is classified with any gain/loss
realized on the disposition of the hedged asset/liability. Subsequently,
the Swap Agreement is marked to market and the resulting change in fair
value is included in Investment Income in the income
21
<PAGE> 57
ANCHOR NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
statement. When a Swap Agreement that is designated as a hedge is
terminated before its contractual maturity, any resulting gain/loss is
credited/charged to the carrying value of the asset/liability that it
hedged and is treated as a premium/discount for the remaining life of
the asset/liability.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS: Policy acquisition costs are deferred and
amortized, with interest, in relation to the incidence of estimated
gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the annuity
contracts. Estimated gross profits are composed of net interest income,
net realized investment gains and losses, variable annuity fees,
universal life insurance fees, surrender charges and direct
administrative expenses. Costs incurred to sell mutual funds are also
deferred and amortized over the estimated lives of the funds obtained.
Deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") consist of commissions and other
costs that vary with, and are primarily related to, the production or
acquisition of new business.
As debt and equity securities available for sale are carried at
aggregate fair value, an adjustment is made to DAC equal to the change
in amortization that would have been recorded if such securities had
been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds
reinvested at current yields. The change in this adjustment, net of tax,
is included with the change in accumulated other comprehensive
income/(loss) that is credited or charged directly to shareholder's
equity. DAC has been increased by $29,400,000 at December 31, 1999,
increased by $1,400,000 at December 31, 1998, and decreased by
$7,000,000 at September 30, 1998 for this adjustment.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES: The assets and liabilities
resulting from the receipt of variable annuity premiums are segregated
in separate accounts. The Company receives administrative fees for
managing the funds and other fees for assuming mortality and certain
expense risks. Such fees are included in Variable Annuity Fees in the
income statement.
GOODWILL: Goodwill, amounting to $22,206,000 at December 31, 1999, is
amortized by using the straight-line method over periods averaging 25
years and is included in Other Assets in the balance sheet. Goodwill is
evaluated for impairment when events or changes in economic conditions
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
CONTRACTHOLDER RESERVES: Contractholder reserves for fixed annuity
contracts, universal life insurance contracts and guaranteed investment
contracts are accounted for as investment-type contracts in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 97, "Accounting and
Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts
and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments," and are
recorded at accumulated value (premiums received, plus accrued interest,
less withdrawals and assessed fees).
MODIFIED COINSURANCE DEPOSIT LIABILITY: Cash received as part of the
modified coinsurance transaction described in Note 8 is recorded as a
deposit liability.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
FEE INCOME: Variable annuity fees, asset management fees, universal life
insurance fees and surrender charges are recorded in income as earned.
Net retained commissions are recognized as income on a trade date basis.
INCOME TAXES: The Company files as a "life insurance company" under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Its federal income tax
return is consolidated with those of its direct parent, SunAmerica Life
Insurance Company (the "Parent"), and its affiliate, First SunAmerica
Life Insurance Company. Income taxes have been calculated as if the
Company filed a separate return. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized based on the difference between financial
statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted income tax rates and laws.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In June 1998, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133
addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging
activities. SFAS 133 was postponed by SFAS 137, and now will be
effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001. Therefore, it is not
included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has not
completed its analysis of the effect of SFAS 133, but management
believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," was adopted for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and is included in Note 14 of the
accompanying financial statements.
3. FISCAL YEAR CHANGE
Effective December 31, 1998, the Company changed its fiscal year end
from September 30 to December 31. Accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows
for the three-month transition period ended December 31, 1998. Such
results are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 were originally filed as the Company's unaudited
Transition Report on Form 10-Q.
Results for the comparable prior year period are summarized below.

4. ACQUISITION
On December 31, 1998, the Company acquired the individual life business
and the individual and group annuity business of MBL Life Assurance
Corporation ("MBL Life") ("the Acquisition"), via a 100% coinsurance
transaction, for a cash purchase price of $128,420,000. As part of this
transaction, the Company acquired assets having an aggregate fair value
of $5,718,227,000, composed primarily of invested assets totaling
$5,715,010,000. Liabilities assumed in this acquisition totaled
$5,831,266,000, including $3,460,503,000 of fixed annuity reserves,
$2,308,742,000 of universal life reserves and $24,011,000 of guaranteed
investment contract reserves. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of net assets received amounted to $104,509,000 at December
31, 1999, after adjustment for the transfer of the New York business to
First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company (see below), and is included in
Deferred Acquisition Costs in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet. The income statement for the year ended December 31, 1999
includes the impact of the Acquisition. On a pro forma basis, assuming
the Acquisition had been consummated on October 1, 1996, the beginning
of the prior-year periods discussed within, investment income would have
been $517,606,000 and net income would have been $158,887,000 for the
year ended September 30, 1998. For the year ended September 30, 1997,
investment income would have been $506,399,000 and net income would have
been $83,372,000.
Included in the block of business acquired from MBL Life were policies
whose owners are residents of New York State ("the New York Business").
On July 1, 1999, the New York Business was acquired by the Company's New
York affiliate, First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company ("FSA"), via an
assumption reinsurance agreement, and the remainder of the business
converted to assumption reinsurance in the Company, which superseded the
coinsurance agreement. As part of this transfer, invested assets equal
to $678,272,000, life reserves equal to $282,247,000, group pension
reserves equal to $406,118,000, and other net assets of $10,093,000 were
transferred to FSA.
The $128,420,000 purchase price was allocated between the Company and
FSA based on the estimated future gross profits of the two blocks of
business. The portion allocated to FSA was $10,000,000.
As part of the Acquisition, the Company received $242,473,000 from MBL
to pay policy enhancements guaranteed by the MBL Life rehabilitation
agreement to policyholders meeting certain requirements. A primary
requirement was that annuity policyholders must have converted their MBL
Life policy to a policy type currently offered by the Company or one of
its affiliates by December 31, 1999. The enhancements are to be credited
in four installments on January 1, 2000, June 30, 2001, June 30, 2002
and June 30, 2003, to eligible policies still active on each of those
dates. On December 31, 1999, the enhancement reserve for such payments
totaled $223,032,000, which includes interest accredited at 6.75% on the
original reserve. Of this amount, $69,836,000 was credited to
policyholders in February 2000 for the January 1, 2000 installment.

At December 31, 1999, mortgage loans were collateralized by properties
located in 29 states, with loans totaling approximately 36% of the
aggregate carrying value of the portfolio secured by properties located
in California and approximately 11% by properties located in New York.
No more than 8% of the portfolio was secured by properties in any other
single state.
At December 31, 1999, bonds, notes and redeemable preferred stocks
included $377,149,000 of bonds and notes not rated investment grade. The
Company had no material concentrations of non-investment-grade assets at
December 31, 1999.
At December 31, 1999, the carrying value of investments in default as to
the payment of principal or interest was $1,529,000, composed of
$870,000 of bonds and $659,000 of mortgage loans. Such nonperforming
investments had an estimated fair value of $872,000.
As a component of its asset and liability management strategy, the
Company utilizes Swap Agreements to match assets more closely to
liabilities. Swap Agreements are agreements to exchange with a
counterparty interest rate payments of differing character (for example,
variable-rate payments exchanged for fixed-rate payments) based on an
underlying principal balance (notional principal) to hedge against
interest rate changes. The Company typically utilizes Swap Agreements to
create a hedge that effectively converts floating-rate assets and
liabilities to fixed-rate instruments. At December 31, 1999, the Company
had one outstanding Swap Agreement with a notional principal amount of
$21,538,000, which matures in December 2024. The net interest paid
amounted to $215,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, $54,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1998, $278,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1998, and $125,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997,
and is included in Interest Expense on Guaranteed Investment Contracts
in the income statement.
At December 31, 1999, $7,418,000 of bonds, at amortized cost, were on
deposit with regulatory authorities in accordance with statutory
requirements.
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following estimated fair value disclosures are limited to
29
<PAGE> 65
ANCHOR NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
reasonable estimates of the fair value of only the Company's financial
instruments. The disclosures do not address the value of the Company's
recognized and unrecognized nonfinancial assets (including its real
estate investments and other invested assets except for cost-method
partnerships) and liabilities or the value of anticipated future
business. The Company does not plan to sell most of its assets or settle
most of its liabilities at these estimated fair values.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Selling expenses
and potential taxes are not included. The estimated fair value amounts
were determined using available market information, current pricing
information and various valuation methodologies. If quoted market prices
were not readily available for a financial instrument, management
determined an estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not
be indicative of the amounts the financial instruments could be
exchanged for in a current or future market transaction.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable
to estimate that value:
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: Carrying value is considered to be a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
BONDS, NOTES AND REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCKS: Fair value is based
principally on independent pricing services, broker quotes and other
independent information.
MORTGAGE LOANS: Fair values are primarily determined by discounting
future cash flows to the present at current market rates, using expected
prepayment rates.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT SEED MONEY: Carrying value is the market value of the
underlying securities.
COMMON STOCKS: Fair value is based principally on independent pricing
services, broker quotes and other independent information.
COST-METHOD PARTNERSHIPS: Fair value of limited partnerships accounted
for by using the cost method is based upon the fair value of the net
assets of the partnerships as determined by the general partners.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ASSETS HELD IN SEPARATE ACCOUNTS: Variable annuity
assets are carried at the market value of the underlying securities.
RESERVES FOR FIXED ANNUITY CONTRACTS: Deferred annuity contracts are
assigned a fair value equal to current net surrender value. Annuitized
contracts are valued based on the present value of future cash flows at
current pricing rates.
RESERVES FOR UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS: Universal life and
30
<PAGE> 66
ANCHOR NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
single life premium life contracts are assigned a fair value equal to
current net surrender value.
RESERVES FOR GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS: Fair value is based on the
present value of future cash flows at current pricing rates and is net
of the estimated fair value of a hedging Swap Agreement, determined from
independent broker quotes.
RECEIVABLE FROM/PAYABLE TO BROKERS FOR PURCHASES OF SECURITIES: Such
obligations represent transactions of a short-term nature for which the
carrying value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.
MODIFIED COINSURANCE DEPOSIT LIABILITY: Fair value is based on
discounting the liability by the appropriate cost of funds, and
therefore approximates carrying value.
VARIABLE ANNUITY LIABILITIES RELATED TO SEPARATE ACCOUNTS: Fair values
of contracts in the accumulation phase are based on net surrender
values. Fair values of contracts in the payout phase are based on the
present value of future cash flows at assumed investment rates.
SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE TO AFFILIATES: Fair value is estimated based
on the quoted market prices for similar issues.

Life Insurance Company (the "Parent"), for $170,436,000. On June 30,
1999, the Parent cancelled the Note and forgave the interest earned.
Funds received were reclassified to Additional Paid-in Capital in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Subordinated notes and accrued interest payable to affiliates totaled
$37,816,000 at interest rates ranging from 8% to 9% at December 31,

predominantly yearly renewable term reinsurance. In order to limit even
further the exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover an
additional portion of the benefits paid over such limits, the Company
entered into a reinsurance treaty effective January 1, 1999 under which
the Company retains no more than $100,000 of risk on any

to these coinsurance agreements, the Company could become liable for all
obligations of the reinsured policies if the reinsurers were to become
unable to meet the obligations assumed under the respective reinsurance
agreements. The Company monitors its credit exposure with respect to
these agreements. However, due to the high credit ratings of the
reinsurers, such risks are considered to be minimal.
On August 1, 1999, the Company entered into a modified coinsurance
transaction, approved by the Arizona Department of Insurance, which
involved the ceding of approximately $6,000,000,000 of variable
annuities to ANLIC Insurance Company (Hawaii), a non-affiliated stock
life insurer. The transaction is accounted for as reinsurance for
statutory reporting purposes. As part of the transaction, the Company
received cash in the amount of $150,000,000 and recorded a corresponding
deposit liability. As payments are made to the reinsurer, the deposit
liability is relieved. The cost of this program, $3,621,000 in 1999, is
classified as General and Administrative Expenses in the income
statement.
On August 11, 1998, the Company entered into a similar modified
coinsurance transaction, approved by the Arizona Department of
Insurance, which involved the ceding of approximately $6,000,000,000 of
variable annuities to ANLIC Insurance Company (Cayman), a Cayman Islands
stock life insurance company, effective December 31, 1997. As a part of
this transaction, the Company received cash amounting to approximately
$188,700,000, and recorded a corresponding reduction of DAC related to
the coinsured annuities. As payments were made to the reinsurer, the
reduction of DAC was relieved. Certain expenses related to this
transaction were charged directly to DAC amortization in the income
statement. The net effect of this transaction in the income statement
was not material.
On December 31, 1998, the Company recaptured this business. As part of
this recapture, the Company paid cash of $170,436,000 and recorded an
increase in DAC of $167,202,000 with the balance of $3,234,000 being
recorded as DAC amortization in the income statement.
9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company has entered into four agreements in which it has provided
liquidity support for certain short-term securities of municipalities
and non-profit organizations by agreeing to purchase such securities in
the event there is no other buyer in the short-term marketplace. In
return the Company receives a fee. The maximum liability under these
guarantees is $359,400,000. The Company's Parent currently shares in the
liabilities and fees of two of these agreements. The Parent's share in
these liabilities will increase by $150,000,000 subsequent to December
31, 1999, and the Company's share will decrease to $209,400,000.
Management does not anticipate any material future losses with respect
to these liquidity support facilities.

9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)
The Company is involved in various kinds of litigation common to its
businesses. These cases are in various stages of development and, based
on reports of counsel, management believes that provisions made for
potential losses relating to such litigation are adequate and any
further liabilities and costs will not have a material adverse impact
upon the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
The Company's current financial strength and counterparty credit ratings
from Standard & Poor's are based in part on a guarantee (the
"Guarantee") of the Company's insurance policy obligations by American
Home Assurance Company ("American Home"), a subsidiary of AIG, and a
member of an AIG intercompany pool, and the belief that the Company is
viewed as a strategically important member of AIG. The Guarantee is
unconditional and irrevocable, and policyholders have the right to
enforce the Guarantee directly against American Home.
The Company's current financial strength rating from Moody's is based in
part on a support agreement between the Company and AIG (the "Support
Agreement"), pursuant to which AIG has agreed that AIG will cause the
Company to maintain a policyholder's surplus of not less than $1 million
or such greater amount as shall be sufficient to enable the Company to
perform its obligations under any policy issued by it. The Support
Agreement also provides that if the Company needs funds not otherwise
available to it to make timely payment of its obligations under policies
issued by it, AIG will provide such funds at the request of the Company.
The Support Agreement is not a direct or indirect guarantee by AIG to
any person of any obligation of the Company. AIG may terminate the
Support Agreement with respect to outstanding obligations of the Company
only under circumstances where the Company attains, without the benefit
of the Support Agreement, a financial strength rating equivalent to that
held by the Company with the benefit of the support agreement.
Policyholders have the right to cause the Company to enforce its rights
against AIG and, if the Company fails or refuses to take timely action
to enforce the Support Agreement or if the Company defaults in any claim
or payment owed to such policyholder when due, have the right to enforce
the Support Agreement directly against AIG.
American Home does not publish financial statements, although it files
statutory annual and quarterly reports with the New York State Insurance
Department, where such reports are available to the public. AIG is a
reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and
publishes annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, which are available from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Dividends that the Company may pay to its shareholder in any year
without prior approval of the Arizona Department of Insurance are
limited by statute. The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid to
shareholders of insurance companies domiciled in the state of Arizona
without obtaining the prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner is
limited to the lesser of either 10% of the preceding year's statutory
surplus or the preceding year's statutory net gain from operations less
equity in undistributed income or loss of subsidiaries included in net
investment income if, after paying the dividend, the Company's capital
and surplus would be adequate in the opinion of the Arizona Department
of Insurance. No dividends were paid in the year ended December 31, 1999
or the three months ended December 31, 1998. Dividends in the amounts of
$51,200,000 and $25,500,000 were paid on June 4, 1998 and April 1, 1997,

Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130") which requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition
to net income from operations. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive
financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain
financial information that historically has not been recognized in the
calculation of net income. The adoption of SFAS 130 did not have an
impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or
liquidity. Comprehensive income amounts for the prior years are

14. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," which requires the reporting
of certain financial information by business segment. For the purpose of
providing segment information, the Company has three business segments:
annuity operations, asset management operations and broker-dealer
operations. The annuity operations focus primarily on the marketing of
variable annuity products and the administration of the universal life
business acquired from MBL Life in 1998 (See Note 4). The Company's
variable annuity products offer investors a broad spectrum of fund
alternatives, with a choice of investment managers, as well as
guaranteed fixed-rate account options. The Company earns fee income on
investments in the variable options and net investment income on the
fixed-rate options. The asset management operations are conducted by the
Company's registered investment advisor subsidiary, SunAmerica Asset
Management Corp. ("SunAmerica Asset Management"), and its related
distributor. SunAmerica Asset Management earns fee income by
distributing and managing a diversified family of mutual funds, by
managing certain subaccounts within the Company's variable annuity
products and by providing professional management of individual,
corporate and pension plan portfolios. The broker-dealer operations are
conducted by the Company's broker-dealer subsidiary, Royal Alliance
Associates, Inc. ("Royal"), which sells proprietary annuities and mutual
funds, as well as a full range of non-proprietary investment products.

Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from the United
States.
The accounting policies of the segments are as described in the summary
of significant accounting policies (Note 2). The Parent makes
expenditures for long-lived assets for the annuity operations segment
and allocates depreciation of such assets to the annuity operations
segment. The annuity operations and asset management operations pay
commissions to Royal for sales of their proprietary products.
Approximately 90% of these commission payments are in turn paid to
registered representatives of Royal, with the remainder of the revenue
reflected in Net Retained Commissions. In addition, premiums from
variable annuity policies sold by the Company are held in trusts that
are owned by the Company, although the assets directly support
policyholder obligations. SunAmerica Asset Management is the Investment
Advisor for all of the subaccounts of these trusts, for which service it
receives fees which are direct expenses of the trusts. Such fees are
reported as Variable Annuity Fees in the consolidated income statement
and are shown as intersegment revenues in the business segments
disclosure above, although there is no corresponding expense on the
books of any segment.
The annuity operations segment's products are marketed through over 800
independent broker-dealers, full-service securities firms and financial
institutions, in addition to the Company's affiliated broker-dealers.
Those independent selling organizations

1998, 16.8% in the year ended September 30, 1998, and 18.4% and 10.2% in
the year ended September 30, 1997. Registered representatives sell
products for the Company's asset management operations and sell products
offered by the broker-dealer operations. Revenue from any single
registered representative or group of registered representatives do not
compose a material percentage of total revenues in either the asset
management operations or the broker-dealer operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of Anchor National Life Insurance Company
and the Contractholders of its separate account,
Variable Annuity Account Seven
(Portion Relating to the POLARIS PLUS Variable Annuity)
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets, including the schedule
of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Variable Accounts constituting Variable Annuity Account Seven
(Portion Relating to the POLARIS PLUS Variable Annuity), a separate account of
Anchor National Life Insurance Company (the "Separate Account") at January 31,
2000, the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for
the nine month period from May 1, 1999 to January 31, 2000 and the changes in
their net assets for the period from inception to April 30, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at January 31, 2000 by
correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Variable Separate Account (Portion Relating to the POLARIS PLUS Variable
Annuity) of Anchor National Life Insurance Company (the "Separate
Account") is a segregated investment account of Anchor National Life
Insurance Company (the "Company"). The Company is an indirect, wholly
owned subsidiary of American International Group Inc. ("AIG"), an
international insurance and financial services company. At December 31,
1998, the Company was a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of SunAmerica
Inc., a Maryland corporation. On January 1, 1999, SunAmerica Inc. merged
with and into AIG in a tax-free reorganization that has been treated as
a pooling of interests for accounting purposes. Thus, SunAmerica Inc.
ceased to exist on that date. However, immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the merger, substantially all of the net assets of
SunAmerica Inc. were contributed to a newly formed subsidiary of AIG
named SunAmerica Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. SunAmerica
Holdings, Inc. subsequently changed its name to SunAmerica Inc. The
Separate Account is registered as a segregated unit investment trust
pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
The Separate Account is composed of twenty-six variable portfolios (the
"Variable Accounts"). Each of the Variable Accounts is invested solely
in the shares of either (1) one of the three currently available
investment portfolios of Anchor Series Trust ("Anchor Trust") or (2) one
of the twenty-three currently available investment portfolios of
SunAmerica Series Trust ("SunAmerica Trust"). The Anchor Trust and the
SunAmerica Trust (the "Trusts") are each diversified, open-end,
affiliated investment companies, which retain investment advisers to
assist in the investment activities of the Trusts. The participant may
elect to have investments allocated to any of five guaranteed-interest
funds of the Company (the "General Account"), which are not a part of
the Separate Account. The financial statements include balances
allocated by the participant to the twenty-six Variable Accounts and do
not include balances allocated to the General Account.
The inception date of the Worldwide High Income and Real Estate
Portfolios was March 31, 1999. The inception date of the International
Growth & Income Portfolio was March 24, 1999. The inception date of the
Cash Management, Corporate Bond, Asset Allocation, Equity Income,
Emerging Markets, and Small Company Value Portfolios was March 23, 1999.
The inception date of the remaining portfolios was March 19, 1999.
The fiscal year-end of the Separate Account is April 30. Accordingly,
the accompanying interim statement of operations and of changes in net
assets for the nine month period from May 1, 1999 to January 31, 2000,
and the statement of changes in net assets for the period from inception
to April 30, 1999 do not represent a full year's activity for the
Separate Account.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
The investment objectives and policies of the three portfolios of the
Anchor Trust are summarized below:
The CAPITAL APPRECIATION PORTFOLIO seeks long-term capital appreciation.
This portfolio invests in growth equity securities which are widely
diversified by industry and company using a wide-ranging and flexible
stock picking approach; may be concentrated and will generally have less
investments in large company securities than the Growth Portfolio.
The GROWTH PORTFOLIO seeks capital appreciation. This portfolio invests
in core equity securities that are widely diversified by industry and
company.
The GOVERNMENT AND QUALITY BOND PORTFOLIO seeks relatively high current
income, liquidity and security of principal. This portfolio invests in
obligations issued, guaranteed or insured by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities and in high quality corporate fixed income
securities.
Anchor Trust has portfolios in addition to those identified above;
however, none of these other portfolios is currently available for
investment under the Separate Account.
The investment objectives and policies of the twenty-three portfolios of
the SunAmerica Trust are summarized below:
The INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFIED EQUITIES PORTFOLIO seeks long-term capital
appreciation. This portfolio invests (in accordance with country
weightings as determined by the Subadviser) in common stocks of foreign
issuers which, in the aggregate, replicate broad country and sector
indices.
The GLOBAL EQUITIES PORTFOLIO seeks long-term growth of capital. This
portfolio invests primarily in common stocks or securities of U.S. and
foreign issuers with common stock characteristics which demonstrate the
potential for appreciation and engages in transactions in foreign
currencies.
The AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO seeks capital appreciation. This
portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of high growth
companies including small companies with market capitalizations under $1
billion.

portfolio invests primarily in common stocks or securities which
demonstrate the potential for appreciation and/or dividends.

and capital gains) consistent with preservation of capital over the long
term. This portfolio invests in a diversified selection of common stocks
and other securities having common stock characteristics, bonds and
other intermediate and long-term fixed-income securities and money
market instruments (debt securities maturing in one year or less) in any
combination.

(continued)
The HIGH-YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO seeks a high level of current income and,
secondarily, seeks capital appreciation. This portfolio invests
primarily in intermediate and long-term corporate obligations, with
emphasis on higher-yielding, higher-risk, lower-rated or unrated
securities with a primary focus on "B" rated high-yield bonds.

income and, to a lesser extent, providing opportunities for capital
appreciation. This portfolio invests in high quality fixed-income
securities of U.S. and foreign issuers and engages in transactions in
foreign currencies.
The CORPORATE BOND PORTFOLIO seeks a high total return with only
moderate price risk. This portfolio invests primarily in investment
grade fixed-income securities.
The INTERNATIONAL GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO seeks growth of capital
with current income as a secondary objective. This portfolio invests
primarily in common stocks traded on markets outside the United States.
The EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO seeks long-term capital appreciation.
This portfolio invests mainly in the common stocks and other equity
securities of companies that its Subadviser believes have above-average
growth prospects primarily in emerging markets outside the United
States.

combination of growth and income. This portfolio invests primarily in
securities of companies principally engaged in or related to the real
estate industry or which own significant real estate assets or which
primarily invest in real estate financial instruments.
The "DOGS" OF WALL STREET PORTFOLIO seeks total return (including
capital appreciation and current income) primarily through the annual
selection of thirty high dividend yielding common stocks from the Dow
Jones Industrial Average and the broader market.
The EQUITY INCOME PORTFOLIO seeks long-term capital appreciation and
income. This portfolio invests primarily in equity securities that are
expected to pay above-average dividends.

Index ("S&P 500"). This portfolio invests primarily in common stocks
included in the S&P 500.

market instruments.
The SunAmerica Trust has portfolios in addition to those identified
above; however, none of these other portfolios is currently available
for investment under the Separate Account.
Purchases and sales of shares of the portfolios of the Trusts are valued
at the net asset values of the shares on the date the shares are
purchased or sold. Dividends and capital gains distributions are
recorded when received. Realized gains and losses on the sale of
investments in the Trusts are recognized at the date of sale and are
determined on an average cost basis.
Accumulation unit values are computed daily based on the total net
assets of the Variable Accounts.
2. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE: The contract value may be withdrawn at any time
during the accumulation period subject to the limitations under Section
403 (b) (11) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and any applicable Plan
document. A withdrawal charge applies against each purchase payment put
into the contract with a few exceptions. A withdrawal charge is not
applicable to withdrawals due to annuitization or death benefits.
Additionally, withdrawal charges do not apply after the participant's
tenth contract anniversary or after separation from service occurring
after contract issue. Withdrawal charges are not deducted when
withdrawals are requested due to disability or hardship. Finally,
fifteen percent of the purchase payments each contract year are exempt
from withdrawal charges for participants who were separated from service
at the time the contract was issued.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT SEVEN
(PORTION RELATING TO THE POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE ANNUITY)
OF
ANCHOR NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS (continued)
Withdrawal charges vary in amount depending upon the number of years
since the purchase payment being withdrawn was made. The applicable
withdrawal charge schedule varies depending upon employment status at
the time of contract issue. The withdrawal charge is deducted from the
remaining contract value so that the actual reduction in contract value
as a result of the withdrawal will be greater than the withdrawal amount
requested and paid. For purposes of determining the withdrawal charge,
withdrawals will be allocated first to investment income, if any (which
may generally be withdrawn free of a withdrawal charge), and then to the
oldest purchase payments first so that all withdrawals are allocated to
purchase payments to which the lowest (if any) withdrawal charge
applies.
Any amount withdrawn may be subject to a withdrawal charge in accordance
with the withdrawal charge tables shown below:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS (continued)
TRANSFER FEE: A transfer fee of $25 ($10 in Pennsylvania and Texas) is
assessed on each transfer of funds in excess of fifteen transactions
within a contract year.
PREMIUM TAXES: Premium taxes or other taxes payable to a state or other
governmental entity will be charged against the contract values. Some
states assess premium taxes at the time purchase payments are made;
others assess premium taxes at the time annuity payments begin. The
Company currently intends to deduct premium taxes at the time of
surrender or upon annuitization; however, it reserves the right to deduct
any premium taxes when incurred or upon the payment of the death benefit.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: The Company deducts mortality and
expense risk charges, which total to an annual rate of 1.10% of the net
asset value of each portfolio, computed on a daily basis. The mortality
risk charge of 0.80% is compensation for the mortality risks assumed by
the Company from its contractual obligations to make annuity payments
after the contract has annuitized for the life of the annuitant and to
provide death benefits. The expense risk charge of 0.30% is compensation
for assuming the risk that the current charges will be insufficient in
the future to cover the cost of administering the contract.
DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE: The Company deducts a distribution expense
charge at an annual rate of 0.15% of the net asset value of each
portfolio, computed on a daily basis. This charge is for all expenses
associated with the distribution of the contract. These expenses include
preparing the contract, confirmations and statements, providing sales
support and maintaining contract records. If this charge is not enough to
cover the costs of distributing the contract, the Company will bear the
loss.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES: The Company currently does not maintain a
provision for taxes, but has reserved the right to establish such a
provision for taxes in the future if it determines, in its sole
discretion, that it will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the
Separate Account.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS (continued)
INCOME PROTECTOR FEE: The Company offers two levels of income protection
to participants. If elected, the Income Protector Plus and the Income
Protector Max can provide increased levels of minimum guaranteed income.
An annual fee is charged for the Plus and Max options, as a percentage
of an "income benefit base" calculation, in the amount of 0.15% and
0.30%, respectively. The "income benefit base" calculation is equal to
the contract's value on the election date, plus all subsequent purchase
payments, less all withdrawals and applicable fees and charges in an
amount proportionate to the amount by which such withdrawals decrease
the contract's value. The "income benefit base" also accumulates at an
annual growth rate of 3.25% and 5.25% for the Plus and the Max options,
respectively.
