Massachusetts Mutual Variable Annuity Separate Account 1 -
Variable Annuity Fund 4 and Flex-Annuity IV (Qualified)

Notes To Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. HISTORY

Massachusetts Mutual Variable Annuity Separate Account 1 ("Separate Account 1") is a separate investment account established on April 8, 1981 by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"). Separate Account 1 operates as a registered unit investment trust pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules promulgated thereunder.

MassMutual maintains three segments within Separate Account 1. The segments are Variable Annuity Fund 4, Flex-Annuity IV (Qualified) and Flex Extra (Qualified). These notes and the financial statements presented herein, with the exception of Note 9, describe and consist only of the Variable Annuity Fund 4 and Flex-Annuity IV (Qualified) segments (the "Segment").

2. INVESTMENT OF THE SEGMENT'S ASSETS

The Variable Annuity Fund 4 and the Flex-Annuity IV (Qualified) segments each have four divisions. The MML Equity Division invests in shares of MML Equity Fund, the MML Money Market Division invests in shares of MML Money Market Fund, the MML Managed Bond Division invests in shares of MML Managed Bond Fund and the MML Blend Division invests in shares of MML Blend Fund.

MML Equity Fund, MML Money Market Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund and MML Blend Fund are four of the eight separate series of shares of the MML Series Investment Fund (the "MML Trust"). The MML Trust is a no-load, open-end, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. MassMutual serves as the investment adviser to the MML Trust. David L. Babson and Company, Inc. ("Babson" ), a controlled subsidiary of MassMutual, serves as the investment sub-adviser to MML Equity Fund and the equity sector of the MML Blend Fund.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Segment in preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

A. Investment Valuation

Investments in MML Equity Fund, MML Money Market Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund and MML Blend Fund are each stated at market value which is the net asset value of each of the respective funds.

B. Accounting For Investments

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date and identified cost is the basis followed in determining the cost of investments sold for financial statement purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

C. Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Segment form a part of the total operations of MassMutual, and the Segment is not taxed separately. MassMutual is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the 1986 Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Segment will not be taxed as a "regulated investment company " under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Under existing federal law, no taxes are payable on investment income and realized capital gains attributable to contracts which depend on the Segment's investment performance. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made. MassMutual may, however, make such a charge in the future if an unanticipated change of current law results in a company tax liability attributable to the Segment.

D. Annuitant Mortality Fluctuation Reserve

The Segment maintains a reserve as required by regulatory authorities to provide for mortality losses incurred. The reserve is increased quarterly for mortality gains and its proportionate share of any increases in value. The reserve is charged quarterly for mortality losses and its proportionate share of any decreases in value. Transfers to or from MassMutual are then made quarterly to adjust the Segments. Net transfers from the Segments to MassMutual totaled $60,906 and $127,762 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The reserve is subject to a maximum of 3% of the Segment's annuity reserves. Any mortality losses in excess of this reserve will be assumed by MassMutual. The reserve is not available to owners of contracts except to the extent necessary to cover mortality losses under the contracts.

E. Annuity Reserves

Annuity reserves are developed by using accepted actuarial methods and are computed using the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, as modified.

F. Estimates

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

4. CHARGES FOR MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS

A. Variable Annuity Fund 4 Contracts

Currently, daily charges for mortality and expense risks assumed by MassMutual are made which are equivalent on an annual basis to 0.730% of the value of the Variable Annuity Fund 4 Contracts. Effective on January 1 of any year after the first Contract year, the daily charge made for the assumption of mortality and expense risks will be as determined by MassMutual, but in no event will such charge be at an annual rate of more than 1.2045% of the value of the Variable Annuity Fund 4 Contracts.

B. Flex-Annuity IV (Qualified) Contracts

Daily charges for mortality and expense risks assumed by MassMutual are made which are equivalent on an annual basis to 1.25% of the value of the Flex-Annuity IV Contracts.

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

5. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

MML Investors Services, Inc. (" MMLISI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual, serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. MMLISI is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The contracts are no longer offered for sale to the public. However, contract owners may continue to make purchase payments under existing contracts.

Pursuant to the underwriting and servicing agreements, commissions or other fees due to registered representatives for selling and servicing the contracts are paid by MassMutual on behalf of MMLISI. MMLISI also receives compensation for its activities as underwriter of the contracts.
