INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Nationwide Separate Account Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the statements of investments, of Nationwide Separate Account Trust
(comprised of the Small Company Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Total Return
Fund, Government Bond Fund, and Money Market Fund), as of December 31, 1995,
and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets
and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein. These
financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of
Nationwide Separate Account Trust's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included verification of securities
owned as of December 31, 1995 by confirmation with the custodian and other
appropriate audit procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the aforementioned funds comprising Nationwide Separate Account Trust
as of December 31, 1995, the results of their operations, the changes in their
net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated
herein, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Nationwide Separate Account Trust (Trust) is a diversified, open-end
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. The Trust offers shares only to life insurance company
separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable insurance or
annuity policies issued by life insurance companies. The Trust was
organized as a Massachusetts Trust effective June 30, 1981. To date,
only separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and
Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (formerly Financial
Horizons Life Insurance Company), which are affiliated companies, have
purchased shares.
The Trust offers shares in five series: Small Company Fund, Capital
Appreciation Fund, Total Return Fund, Government Bond Fund and Money
Market Fund. The Trust was amended in 1995 to create the Small Company
Fund. On October 23, 1995, the Small Company Fund was capitalized
through the sale of capital stock to Nationwide Life Insurance Company in
the amount of $5,000,000, the Fund became effective and sales of shares
commenced.
Use of 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies:
Security Valuation
------------------
a) Small Company, Capital Appreciation, Total Return and Government Bond
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities
exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Listed
securities for which no sale was reported on the valuation date are
valued at quoted bid prices. Securities not listed on an exchange or
for which there were no transactions are valued at their most recent
bid price, or where no prices are available, at fair market value
determined by the Board of Trustees. Short-term notes and bank
certificates of deposit are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market. Investments denominated in foreign currencies
are translated to U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Forward
currency exchange contracts are also valued at the prevailing
exchange rates.
The value of a repurchase agreement generally equals the purchase
price paid by the Fund (cost) plus the interest accrued to date. The
seller, under the repurchase agreement, is required to maintain the
market value of the underlying collateral at not less than the value
of the repurchase agreement. Securities subject to repurchase
agreements are held by the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry
system or by the Fund's custodian.
<PAGE> 33
NATIONWIDE SEPARATE ACCOUNT TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
b) Money Market
------------
Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
Foreign Currency Transactions (Small Company Fund)
-------------------------------------------------
Fluctuation in the value of investments resulting from changes in
foreign exchange rates are included with net realized and unrealized
gain or loss from investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on security
transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books,
and the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts actually received or paid.
Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in
the value of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in
exchange rates.
The Fund enters into forward currency exchange contracts which are
obligations to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a specified
rate on a certain date in the future. A net realized gain or loss
would be incurred if the value of the contract increases or decreases
between the date the contract is opened and the date it is closed.
Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and this change
in value is reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a
net receivable for foreign currency contracts purchased.
At or before the closing of a forward contract, the Small Company
Fund may either sell a portfolio security and make delivery of the
currency, or retain the security and fully or partially offset its
contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second
contract. If the Fund retains the portfolio security and engages in
an offsetting transaction, the Fund, at the time of execution of the
offsetting transaction, will incur a gain or loss to the extent that
movement has occurred in forward contract prices.
The precise matching of forward currency contract amounts and the
value of the securities involved generally will not be possible
because the value of such securities, measured in the foreign
currency, will change after the foreign currency contract has been
established. Thus, the Fund might need to purchase or sell foreign
currencies in the spot (cash) market to the extent such foreign
currencies are not covered by forward contracts. The projection of
short-term currency market movements is difficult, and the successful
execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain.
Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
The Trust's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. To the
extent net realized gains are offset through the application of a
capital loss carryover, they will

NATIONWIDE SEPARATE ACCOUNT TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
Federal Income Taxes (continued)
- -------------------------------
not be distributed to shareholders but will be retained by the Trust. Each
Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity.
As of December 31, 1995, the Government Bond and Money Market Funds had net
capital loss carry forwards in the amounts of $8,772,911 and $5,864,
respectively, The Government Bond Fund carry forward will expire within 7
years and the Money Market Fund carry forward will expire within 8 years.
The Small Company Fund intends to elect for Federal income tax purposes to
treat approximately $101,807 of net capital losses that arose during the period
ended December 31, 1995 as if such losses arose on January 1, 1996. As of
December 31, 1995, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward in the amount
of $1,245 which will expire within 8 years.
Organization Expenses
- ---------------------
Initial organization expenses of the Small Company Fund were paid by the
advisor and will be reimbursed by the Fund. Such organization costs have been
deferred and will be amortized ratably over a period of sixty months from the
commencement of operations. If any of the initial shares are redeemed before
the end of the amortization period, the proceeds of the redemption will be
reduced by the pro rata share of the unamortized organization costs.
Security Transactions and Investment Income

------------------------------------
c) All Funds
---------
Net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at
least annually.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in
accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax"
differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature.
In accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-2, permanent
differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their nature for Federal income tax purposes; temporary differences
do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions that
exceed net invested income and net realized gains for financial
reporting purposes, but not for tax purposes, are reported as
dividends in excess of net investment income and net realized gains.
To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings
and profits for Federal income tax purposes, they are reported as
distributions of paid-in capital.
2. Transactions with Affiliates
----------------------------
As investment manager for the Trust, Nationwide Financial Services,
Inc. (NFS), an affiliated company, is allowed an annual management
fee of .5% based on the average daily net assets of the Capital
Appreciation Fund, Total Return Fund, Government Bond Fund and Money
Market Fund; this fee would not be payable in full if the effect of
such payment would increase total expense (excluding taxes other than
payroll taxes and brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions) to
an amount exceeding 1% of average daily net assets for any fiscal
year. Such limitations on total expenses did not effect management
fees during the periods covered by the financial statements.
As investment manager for the Small Company Fund, NFS receives an
annual management fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. From
such fees pursuant to sub-investment advisory agreements, NFS pays
subadvisory fees to The Dreyfus Corporation, Neuberger and Berman,
L.P., Pictet International Management Limited, Strong Capital
Management, Inc., Van Eck Associates Corporation and Warburg, Pincus
Consellors, Inc. based on average daily net assets of the portion of
the Small Company Fund under their management. During the period
from October 23, 1995 (date of commencement of operations) through
December 31, 1995, NFS paid $11,394 in fees to the sub-investment
advisors and reimbursed the Fund $10,495 in order to hold total Small
Company Fund expenses to 1.25% of average daily net assets.
A subsidiary of NFS (Nationwide Investors Services, Inc.) acts as
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Trust.
