                             PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE


We are pleased to present the 1995 semi-annual report of the Nationwide
Variable Account.

The first half of 1995 proved rewarding for both stock and bond fund investors.
During this period, stock funds as a group scored a gain of almost 17 percent
while bond funds were ahead by over 9 percent, as measured by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc.

The economy slowed during the second quarter in deference to the Federal
Reserve's goal of a "soft landing". In early July the Fed trimmed the federal
funds rate 25 basis points, the first easing by the Fed in almost three years.
This move provided additional fuel to the markets in the current quarter.
Continued low inflation, favorable corporate earnings and slow but sustainable
economic growth should support further advances in the equity and fixed income
markets for the remainder of the year and into 1996.

We extend our thanks that you have selected our investment products to help you
meet your financial planning and retirement needs.

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   (a) Organization

resolution of the Board of Directors of Nationwide Life Insurance Company (the

trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

   (b) The Contracts

   Only flexible purchase payment contracts without a front-end sales charge,
but with a contingent deferred sales charge and certain other fees, are offered

payout phase may invest in the following:

   The contract owners' equity is affected by the investment results of each 
fund and certain contract expenses (see note 2). The accompanying financial
statements include only contract owners' purchase payments pertaining to the
variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for
fixed dollar benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the
Company.

   (c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income

   The market value of investments is based on the closing bid prices at June
30, 1995. The cost of investments sold is determined on a specific
identification basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade
date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

   (d) Federal Income Taxes

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

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

(2) EXPENSES

   The Company does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments received
from the contract owners. However, if any part of the contract value of such
contracts is surrendered, the Company will, with certain exceptions, deduct
from a contract ownerGs contract value a contingent deferred sales charge. For
contracts issued prior to January 1, 1993, the contingent deferred sales charge
will be equal to 5% of the lesser of the total of all purchase payments made
within 96 months prior to the date of the request for surrender or the amount
surrendered. For contracts issued on or after January 1, 1993, the Company will
deduct a contingent deferred sales charge not to exceed 7% of the lesser of
purchase payments or the amount surrendered, such charge declining 1% per year,
to 0%, after the purchase payment has been held in the contract for 84 months.
No sales charges are deducted on redemptions used to purchase units in the
fixed investment options of the Company.

   The following administrative charges are deducted by the Company: (a) an
annual contract maintenance charge of $30, with certain exceptions, which is
satisfied by surrendering units; and (b) for contracts issued prior to January
1, 1993, a charge for mortality and expense risk assessed through the daily
unit value calculation equal to an annual rate of 0.80% and 0.50%,
respectively; for contracts issued on or after January 1, 1993, a mortality
risk charge, an expense risk charge and an administration charge assessed
through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual rate of 0.80%,
0.45% and 0.05%, respectively.

(3) SCHEDULE I

   Schedule I presents the components of the change in the unit values, which
are the basis for contract owners' equity. This schedule is presented for each
series in the following format:
         *      Beginning unit value - Jan. 1

         *      Reinvested capital gains and dividends
                (This amount reflects the increase in the unit value due to
                capital gains and dividend distributions from the underlying
                mutual funds.)

         *      Unrealized gain (loss)
                (This amount reflects the increase (decrease) in the unit value
                resulting from the market appreciation (depreciation) of the
                fund.)

         *      Contract charges
                (This amount reflects the decrease in the unit value due to the
                mortality risk charge, an expense risk charge and an
                administration charge discussed in note 2.)

         *      Ending unit value - June 30 

         *      Percentage increase (decrease) in unit value.

   For contracts in the payout phase, an assumed investment return of 3.5%,
used in the calculation of the annuity benefit payment amount, results in a
corresponding reduction in the components of the unit values as shown in
Schedule I.
