DEFINITIONS
Accumulation Period -- the period between the date of the first Purchase
Payment for a Variable Annuity Contract and the Annuity Date.
Accumulation Unit ("Unit") -- an interest of a Contract Owner in a Division
of the Separate Account before Annuity Payments begin. The value of an
Accumulation Unit will vary in proportion to the net investment experience of
the respective Division of the Separate Account. (See the Statement of
Additional Information for an example of calculation of Accumulation Unit
value.)
Accumulation Value -- the Accumulation Value of a Contract on any given
date is equal to the sum of the General Account value and the Separate Account
value under the Contract.
Annuitant -- the person to whom Annuity Payments are or will be made.
Annuity Date -- the date on which Annuity Payments begin.
Annuity Option -- one of several forms in which Annuity Payments can be
made.
Annuity Payments -- payments made by the Company to an Annuitant at regular
intervals during the Annuity Period.
Annuity Period -- the period during which Annuity Payments are made.
Annuity Unit -- a measuring unit used in calculating the amount of Annuity
Payments. The value of an Annuity Unit will change in accordance with the net
investment experience of the Divisions selected, adjusted for the Contract's
3 1/2% initial Assumed Investment Rate. (See the Statement of Additional
Information for an example of calculation of Annuity Unit value.)
Assumed Investment Rate -- the rate used to determine the first monthly
Annuity Payment per thousand dollars of Accumulation Value. The Company will
permit each Annuitant to select an Assumed Investment Rate permitted by state
law or regulations other than the 3 1/2% rate described in this prospectus as
follows: 4 1/2%, 5%, or 6%. Unless otherwise selected, the Assumed Investment
Rate shall equal 3 1/2%, and the information herein is based on that rate.
Beneficiary -- the person to whom benefits, if any, will be paid upon the
death of an Annuitant, including any contingent Beneficiary, i.e., one who
stands in the place of a Beneficiary in the event of the primary Beneficiary's
death.
Contract -- an individual Variable Annuity Contract offered by this
prospectus.
Contract Owner -- the person or entity to whom a Contract is issued. Unless
otherwise provided in an application, the Contract Owner is the Annuitant. Two
Contract Owners may be designated as co-owners when the Contract is issued
pursuant to an employer's retirement program. When co-ownership is designated
the rights vested in the Contract Owner must be jointly exercised.
Contract Year -- a 12-month period beginning with the date of issue of a
Contract, and any anniversary of that date.
Divisions of the Separate Account -- the individual subaccounts into which
the Separate Account is divided and to which Net Purchase Payments and
Accumulation Values may be allocated under a Variable Annuity Contract.
Fixed Annuity -- a series of Annuity Payments to the Annuitant made at
regular intervals which remain fixed throughout the Annuity Period and which do
not vary with investment experience.
Fund -- a mutual fund or investment portfolio of a mutual fund which is the
underlying investment medium for Net Purchase Payments and Accumulation Values
allocated to a Division of the Separate Account.
3
<PAGE> 4
General Account -- the assets of the Company other than those in the
Separate Account or any other separate account. Reserves for any Fixed Annuity
are maintained in the General Account.
Home Office -- the Home Office of the Company shall mean its main office
located at 2929 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019.
Net Purchase Payment -- a gross Purchase Payment less any applicable taxes.
Purchase Payment -- an amount paid to the Company prior to any premium tax
or other deductions.
Separate Account -- the segregated asset account referred to as Separate
Account A which was established by the Company under the Texas Insurance Code to
receive and invest the Net Purchase Payments made under Variable Annuity
Contracts.
Surrender Value -- the Accumulation Value of a Contract less the surrender
charge, if any.
Variable Annuity -- a series of Annuity Payments, the amounts of which will
increase or decrease to reflect the net investment experience of the Divisions
of the Separate Account selected.
Variable Annuity Contract -- a Contract providing for the payment of a
Variable Annuity.

(1) Premium taxes are not shown here, but may be charged by some states either
on purchase payments or on amounts annuitized. See "Charge for Premium
Taxes."
(2) Reductions in the surrender charge and the account maintenance fees are
available if certain conditions are met. The surrender charge is not
incurred on annuitization or upon payment of death benefits. No annual
account maintenance fee will be assessed during the Annuity Period. The
first partial surrender per Contract year of 10% or less of Accumulation
Value with respect to a Contract Owner Account will not be subject to a
surrender charge. See "Charge for Total and Partial Surrender" and "Charge
for Annual Account Maintenance."
(3) Annual management fees for the MidCap Index Fund and the Stock Index Fund
are based on each Fund's average annual net asset value at the following
rates: .35% of the first $500 million and .25% on the excess over $500
million. The annual management fees for the Capital Conservation Fund, Money
Market Fund and Timed Opportunity Fund are flat rates as shown regardless of
the amount of Fund assets.
(4) Includes custody, accounting, reports to shareholders, audit, legal, and
other miscellaneous expenses.
(5) The Company has undertaken to reimburse Contract Owners for ordinary
business expenses of the following Funds for any fiscal year which exceed
certain levels as set forth below:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Capital Conservation Fund.................. .95% of first $75 million plus .85% of excess
over $75 million of average net assets
Money Market Fund.......................... 1.00% of average net assets
Stock Index Fund........................... 1.50% of the first $30 million plus 1.00% of
excess over $30 million of average net assets
</TABLE>
Additionally, to the extent that any of the Series Company Funds accrued
expenses for a given month exceed on an annualized basis 2% of estimated
average daily net assets, the Company has voluntarily undertaken to reduce
expenses of any such Fund, in an amount equal to the difference between such
accrued expenses and 2% of the Fund's average daily net assets for that
month. The Company may withdraw this voluntary undertaking upon 30 days
written notice to the Series Company.
Note: These examples should not be considered representations of past or future
expenses for the Separate Account or for any Fund. Actual expenses may be
greater or less than those shown above. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return
assumed in the examples is not an estimate or guarantee of future investment
performance. The purpose of the Fee Table above is to help Contract Owners
understand the various expenses of the Separate Account and the Funds which are,
in effect, passed on to Contract Owners.
This Fee Table, including the examples above, shows all charges and expenses
which are deducted from purchase payments, from the assets of the Separate
Account and from the Funds in which the Separate Account invests. For a further
description of these charges and expenses, see "Charges Under Variable Annuity
Contracts" in this prospectus and "Investment Adviser" in the Series Company
prospectus. Any and all limitations on total charges and expenses are reflected
in the Fee Table.

<PAGE> 7
INTRODUCTION
THE CONTRACTS ARE COMBINATION FIXED/VARIABLE CONTRACTS OFFERING
VARIABLE OR FIXED ACCUMULATIONS AND VARIABLE OR FIXED BENEFITS OR COMBINATIONS
OF BOTH. THIS PROSPECTUS DESCRIBES ONLY THE VARIABLE ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS,
EXCEPT WHERE FIXED
ASPECTS ARE SPECIFICALLY NOTED.
The Contracts are designed to provide individuals with retirement benefits
through the accumulation of Net Purchase Payments on a fixed or variable basis,
and by the application of such accumulations to provide fixed or variable
annuity payments. The purpose of variable accumulations and annuity payments is
to provide returns to investors which offset or exceed the effects of inflation.
There is, however, no guarantee that this objective will in fact be achieved.
The Funds. Five Separate Account Divisions investing in portfolios of the
Series Company (the "Funds") are available under the Contracts in addition to
the Company's General Account. The five Funds currently underlying the available
Separate Account Divisions are: Capital Conservation Fund, Money Market Fund,
MidCap Index Fund, Timed Opportunity Fund and Stock Index Fund.
Accumulation of Purchase Payments. Prior to retirement, the Contract Owner
pursues various investment options on a variable or fixed basis by electing to
deposit Purchase Payments in up to three Divisions of the Separate Account, or
in the General Account and up to two Divisions of the Separate Account. Those
payments allocated to the Separate Account will be applied to purchase shares of
the Funds as chosen by the Contract Owner in which such Divisions of the
Separate Account invest. As the value of the investment in the Funds increases
or decreases, the value of accumulated Net Purchase Payments will increase or
decrease. The value of such accumulations is subject to deduction for charges
summarized below. (For information as to how the Contracts may be purchased, and
certain minimums that apply to Purchase Payments and Accumulation Values, see
"Accumulation Period.") Contract Owners may exercise a 10-day revocation right
(in some states this may be a 20-day revocation right). (See "Revocation.")
Surrenders. The Contract Owner may, subject to applicable law and the terms
of the employer's plan, make a total or partial surrender at any time during the
Accumulation Period by giving a written request to the Company. (See "Surrender"
and "Federal Tax Matters.") The Contract must be returned to the Company before
a total surrender can be effected. A surrender charge may be assessed for a
partial or total surrender, or upon the election of a lump sum payment during
the Annuity Period under the fifth annuity option, depending on the length of
time the Contract has been in force.
Surrender Charge. A surrender charge of up to 5% of Purchase Payments
received during the most recent 36 months may be assessed for a partial or total
surrender. The surrender charge is designed to help defray sales and
distribution expenses incurred by the Company. (See "Charge for Partial and
Total Surrenders.")
Fixed and Variable Annuity Payments. On the Annuity Date, the Accumulation
Value, at the Annuitant's option, may be applied to purchase any combination of
fixed and/or variable annuities, subject to the Company's minimum annuity
payment and other requirements for any one annuity form. (See "Fixed or Variable
Annuity Payments" and "Annuity Payment Options.") Up to three Divisions of the
Separate Account, or the General Account and up to two Divisions of the Separate
Account may be utilized to provide annuity payments.
Transfers. The Company has the right to limit transfers. The Company's
current policy is that at any time during the Accumulation Period, a Contract
Owner may transfer all or part of the Accumulation Value among Divisions of the
Separate Account or to the General Account. After a transfer to the General
Account, at least 90 days must elapse before any subsequent transfer from the
General Account will be permitted.
During the Annuity Period, an Annuitant may also transfer all or part of
the Contract's Accumulation Value among Divisions of the Separate Account or to
the General Account once every 365 days. Transfers from the General Account
during the Annuity Period are not permitted.
7
<PAGE> 8
Transfers are not subject to any charge. (See "Transfers Among Investment
Options" for additional conditions and limitations regarding transfers.) The
transfer privilege may be suspended or terminated at any time.
Other Charges. An annual contract maintenance charge, which is currently
$30, but may be increased or decreased, is assessed on the last day of the
calendar quarter in which the first Purchase Payment is made and annually on
that date throughout the Accumulation Period for the cost of administrative
expenses with respect to each Contract. This charge will reduce the Surrender
Value of the Contract. No annual contract maintenance charge will be assessed
during the annuity period.
A daily charge at an annual rate of 1% of the average daily net asset value
of the Separate Account allocable to a Contract is imposed for certain
additional expenses and for assumption by the Company of mortality risks. In
addition, in certain states a deduction for premium taxes is made. (See "Charge
to the Separate Account" and "Charge for Premium Taxes.")
A daily charge, based on a percentage of average daily net assets, is paid
by each Fund to its investment adviser for investment management. These charges,
and other Fund charges and expenses more fully described in the prospectuses for
the Funds and summarized in the Fee Table above, are borne indirectly by the
Contract Owners.

<PAGE> 9
SELECTED ACCUMULATION UNIT DATA
The information presented below reflects the Accumulation Unit information
for Divisions of the Separate Account through December 31, 1995.
The unit value of each Division of the Separate Account will not be the
same on any given day as the net asset value per share of the underlying Fund in
which that Division invests. This is because each Unit Value consists of the
underlying share's net asset value minus the charges to the Separate Account. In
addition, dividends declared by the underlying Fund are reinvested by the
Division in additional shares. These distributions have the effect of reducing
the value of each share of the Fund and increasing the number of Fund shares
outstanding. However, the total cash value in the Separate Account does not
change as a result of such distribution.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The Separate Account may from time to time advertise certain performance
information concerning its various Divisions. The Separate Account and certain
Divisions have been offering contracts for periods prior to the commencement of
the offering of the Contracts described in this Prospectus. The performance
information is based on historical results and is not intended to indicate past
performance under an actual Contract or future performance. Each Division may
also, from time to time, advertise its performance relative to certain
performance rankings and indices compiled by independent organizations. More
detailed information as to the calculation of performance information, as well
as comparisons with unmanaged market indices, appears in the Statement of
Additional Information.
Each Division may advertise total return performance information for
various periods of time. Total return performance information is based on the
overall dollar or percentage change in value of a hypothetical investment in the
specific Division over a given period of time. In general, a Division's total
return reflects the overall change in value of the Division from the beginning
of the relevant period to the end of that period.
Average annual total return information shows the average percentage change
in the value of an investment in the Division from the beginning date of the
measuring period to the end of that period. The standardized version of average
annual total return reflects all historical investment results, less all charges
and deductions applied against the Division (including any surrender charge that
would apply if a Contract Owner terminated the Contract at the end of each
period indicated, but excluding any deductions for premium taxes). The rate is
computed for each Division comparing an initial hypothetical investment of
$1,000 in the Division to the redeemable value of that investment at the end of
specifically identified 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods. In order to calculate
average annual total return, the Company divides the value of a Division under a
Contract terminated on a particular date by a hypothetical $1,000 investment in
the Division made by the Contract Owner at the beginning of the period
illustrated. The resulting total growth rate for the period is then annualized
to obtain the average annual percentage increase (or decrease) during the
period. Annualization assumes that the application of a single rate of return
each year during the period will produce the ending value, taking into account
the effect of compounding.
10
<PAGE> 11
The Divisions may, in addition, advertise total return performance
information computed on different bases. First, the Divisions may present total
return information computed on the same basis as described above, except
deductions will not include the surrender charge or the maintenance charge. (The
Company refers to this presentation as "Cumulative Return.") This presentation
assumes that the investment in the Contract persists beyond the period when the
surrender charge applies, consistent with the long-term investment and
retirement objectives of the Contract. This presentation may assume 1, 3, 5 and
10 year periods and is based on a hypothetical $10,000 initial investment.
Second, the Divisions may present total return information calculated by
subtracting a Division's Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of a year from
the Accumulation Unit value of that Division at the end of the year and dividing
the difference by the Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the year. (The
Company refers to this presentation as "Annual Change in Accumulation Unit
Value.") This computation results in a total growth rate for the period which
the Company annualizes (as described above) in order to obtain the average
annual percentage change in the Accumulation Unit value for that period.
Surrender charges, premium taxes, and maintenance charges are not deducted from
the Accumulation Unit values. These charges, if applicable, are imposed by the
cancellation of Accumulation Units attributable to an individual Contract
Owner's account. The effect of these charges is to reduce total return to the
Contract Owner.
Third, the Divisions may present aggregate total return figures for various
periods, reflecting the cumulative change in value of an investment in the
Division for the specified period. This calculation is the same as that for the
Annual Change in Accumulation Unit Value but is based on the Accumulation Unit
value at the beginning and end of a period of years in excess of one year. (The
Company refers to this presentation as "Cumulative Change in Accumulation Unit
Value.")
Finally, the Divisions may present a hypothetical example that applies the
Annual Change in Accumulation Unit Value to an initial investment of $10,000.
(VALIC refers to this presentation as "Hypothetical $10,000 Account Value.")
Each Division other than the Money Market Division may advertise
standardized yield performance in addition to total return information. A
Division's yield is one way of showing the rate of income the Division earns as
a percentage of the value of the Division's Accumulation Units. The yield of
each Division is computed by dividing the average daily net investment income
per Accumulation Unit of the Division earned during a specifically identified
30-day base period, less a maintenance charge, by the Accumulation Unit value on
the last day of the period, and annualizing that result. This calculation takes
into account the average daily number of Accumulation Units outstanding during
the period. The yield of each Division reflects the deduction of all charges,
expenses and fees applicable against the Division, but does not take into
account the surrender charge and premium taxes.
The Money Market Division may advertise yield and effective yield
performance information. The yield of the Money Market Division refers to the
income generated by an investment in the Money Market Division over a
specifically identified 7-day period. (The yield does not take into account the
surrender charge, the maintenance charge or premium taxes.) This income is
annualized by assuming that the amount of income generated by the investment
during that week is generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a
percentage of the investment. The seven day current yield for the seven days
ended December 31, 1995 was 4.15%. The effective yield of the Money Market
Division is calculated in a similar manner, but when annualizing such yield,
income earned by the Money Market Division is assumed to be reinvested. This
compounding effect will cause effective yield to be higher than current yield.
The seven day effective yield for the seven days ended December 31, 1995 was
4.24%.
ENDORSEMENTS AND PUBLISHED RATINGS
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to Contract Owners, the
Company may refer to endorsements. Endorsements are often in the form of a list
of organizations, individuals or other parties which recommend the Company or
the Contracts. The endorser's name will be used only with the endorser's
consent. It should be noted that the list of endorsements may change from time
to time.
Also from time to time, the rating of the Company as an insurance company
by A. M. Best
11
<PAGE> 12
may be referred to in advertisements or in reports to Contract Owners. Each year
the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers,
culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings. These ratings reflect their
current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of
an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance
industry. Best's ratings range from A++ to F. The Company's rating is A++. An
A++ rating means, in the opinion of A.M. Best, that the insurer has demonstrated
the strongest ability to meet its respective policyholder and other contractual
obligations.
In addition, the claims-paying ability of the Company as measured by the
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group may be referred to in advertisements or in
reports to Contract Owners. A Standard & Poor's insurance claims-paying ability
rating is an assessment of an operating insurance company's financial capacity
to meet the obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their
terms. Standard & Poor's ratings range from
AAA to D. The Company's rating is AAA which is defined as superior financial
security.
Further, from time to time the Company may refer to Moody's Investor's
Service's rating of the Company. Moody's Investor's Service's financial strength
ratings indicate an insurance company's ability to discharge senior policyholder
obligations and claims and are based on an analysis of the insurance company and
its relationship to its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates. Moody's Investor
Service ratings range from Aaa to C. The Company's rating is Aa2 which is
defined as excellent. The Company may, from time to time, refer to a general
investment strategy known as indexing. Several of the Divisions employ this
investment strategy. The Company may compare the performance of these Divisions
to the S&P 500 Index, S&P MidCap 400 Index, Russell 2000 Index, Morgan Stanley
Capital International
Europe, Australia and Far East (EAFE) Index, or any other appropriate market
index. The indexes are not managed funds and have no identifiable investment
objectives.

THE COMPANY AND
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Company is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
the State of Texas as the successor to Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company
of America, a District of Columbia life insurance company organized in 1955. The
Company is engaged primarily in the offering and issuance of fixed and variable
retirement annuity contracts and combinations thereof. The Company's executive
office is located at 2929 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019; its mailing
address is P.O. Box 3206, Houston, Texas 77253.
The Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American General
Corporation. However, the assets of American General Corporation do not support
the obligations of the Company under the Contracts. Members of the American
General Corporation group of companies operate in each of the 50 states and
Canada, and collectively are engaged in substantially all forms of financial
services, with activities heavily weighted toward insurance.
On April 18, 1979, the Board of Directors of the Company established the
Separate Account in accordance with the Texas Insurance Code. The Separate
Account is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit
investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
Units of interest in the Separate Account under the Contracts are similarly
registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act").
Under the Texas Insurance Code and the Contracts, the assets of the Separate
Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
business which the Company may conduct, but will be held exclusively for the
benefit of the Contract Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries of the Contracts.
Each Division of the Separate Account is administered and accounted for as
part of the general business of the Company; however, the income, capital gains,
or capital losses of each Division of the Separate Account are credited to or
charged against the assets held in that Division in accordance with the terms of
each Contract without regard to the income, capital gains, or capital losses of
any other Division or arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
Each Division of the Separate Account available under the Contracts will
invest in the shares of a specific Fund. The Separate Account currently is made
up of eighteen Divisions, five of which are available as variable investment
options under the Contracts to receive Net Purchase Payments allocated to the
five variable subaccounts (Divisions One, Two, Four, Five, and Ten). All of the
investment portfolios underlying these Divisions are also available under other
variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. (For a description of the
Divisions available under the Contracts and the specific Fund in which each
respective Division invests, see "The Funds.")
Each Fund is one of thirteen investment portfolios of American General
Series Portfolio Company (the "Series Company"), an open-end, management
investment company registered under the 1940 Act.
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Transfers of Accumulation Units and Annuity Units among Divisions of the
Separate Account, or between the General Account and the Separate Account, are
permitted subject to the conditions discussed below. The right to make transfers
is exercisable by the Contract Owner during the Accumulation Period and by the
Annuitant during the Annuity Period. The Company reserves the right to limit or
restrict transfers to the extent such limitation or restriction is allowed by
the Contract.
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
The Company's current policy is that transfers among Divisions of the
Separate Account or from the Separate Account to the General Account may be made
at any time during the Accumulation Period.
Transfers to the General Account from a Division of the Separate Account
will result in no further transfers from the General Account being permitted for
a period of 90 days.
Plan loans from the portion of the Contract attributable to the General
Account may be permitted by your employer's plan. Refer to your plan for a
description of charges and further information.
TRANSFERS DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD
During the Annuity Period, transfers among Divisions of the Separate
Account or from the Separate Account to the General Account are accomplished by
transferring Annuity Units
13
<PAGE> 14
among the Separate Account's Divisions or to the General Account. These
transfers may be made at intervals of at least 365 days. During the Annuity
Period, transfers from the General Account are not permitted.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS
Transfers among investment options or changes of future allocation of
Purchase Payments ("reallocations") may be made upon
receipt by the Company, at its Home Office,
of written instructions or by telephone at
1-800-621-7792. Request for transfers or reallocations by telephone will be
automatically permitted unless the Company has been
notified otherwise in writing or by telephone at 1-800-621-7792. If, after
notifying the Company that telephone transfers or reallocations are not to be
allowed, the Contract Owner or Participant wishes to have the right to effect
telephone transfers or reallocations reactivated, he or she must notify the
Company in writing.
Prior to the Company's effecting a transfer request or reallocation by
telephone instruction, the Company will employ reasonable procedures to confirm
that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine by requiring certain
identifying information about the Contract Owner or Participant. Unless the
Contract Owner instructs the Company not to accept telephone transfers or
reallocations, anyone who represents that he or she is authorized by the
Contract Owner or Participant to effect a transfer or reallocation may do so if
they have the requisite Contract Owner or Participant account information.
Officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees of the Company may
not give or be authorized to give telephone instructions on behalf of Contract
Owners or Participants (other than for contracts within their immediate family)
without prior written permission of the Company.
It is the responsibility of the Contract Owner or Participant to verify the
accuracy of all confirmations of transfers and to promptly advise the Company of
any inaccuracies within one business day of receipt of the confirmation. The
Company will send to the Contract Owner or Participant a confirmation of the
transfer within five (5) days from the date of the instruction.
Any telephone instructions reasonably believed by the Company to be genuine
will be the Contract Owner's or Participant's responsibility, including losses
arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. As a result of
this policy, the Contract Owner or Participant will bear the risk of loss. If
the Company does not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine, it may be liable for any losses due to
unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.
Transfers or reallocations will be effected pursuant to the Contract
Owner's or Participant's written or telephone transfer request as of the day
when received by the Company if received by the Company's Home Office before the
close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. New
York time, on a day Accumulation values are calculated; otherwise the next
calculated Accumulation Unit or Annuity Unit Value will be used. Telephone
transfer requests will not be accepted during the Annuity Period. The Company
reserves the right to discontinue the telephone transfer facility at any time.
Up to three Divisions of the Separate Account or two Divisions of the
Separate Account and the General Account may be used at any one time during the
Accumulation Period or the Annuity Period. (For additional requirements with
respect to investment options during the Annuity Period, see "Fixed or Variable
Annuity Payments" and "Annuity Payment Options.")
THE FUNDS
The Company serves as the investment adviser to the Series Company, five
portfolios of which are the five Funds constituting Divisions One, Two, Four,
Five and Ten of the Separate Account. Each of these five investment portfolios
is, in effect, a separate "fund" for which the Series Company issues a separate
series (class) of stock. These five Funds also serve as investment media for
variable annuity contracts issued by affiliates of the Company.
A brief summary of the principal characteristics of each Fund appears
below. For more complete information about these Funds, including their charges
and expenses, refer to their respective Prospectuses, additional copies of which
can be obtained from the Company (P.O. Box 3206, Houston, Texas 77253; or
contact any Regional Office at 1-800-44-VALIC or at the address shown on the
inside back cover of the Prospectus).

CHARGES UNDER VARIABLE
ANNUITY CONTRACTS
All charges under the Contracts are described below.
CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES
Premium taxes ranging from zero to 3% are currently imposed by certain
states and municipalities on Purchase Payments made under the Contracts.
Under deferred Contracts subject to premium tax, an amount for the tax will
be deducted, either from Purchase Payments when received, or from the amount
applied to effect an annuity at the time annuity payments commence, depending on
applicable state law. If an amount for any premium taxes is deducted but
subsequently is determined not to be due, the Company will adjust the excess
amount to reflect investment experience from the date of the deduction to the
date the determination is made. The Company will then apply the amount deducted,
as adjusted, to increase the number of Accumulation Units or Annuity Units under
the Contract at the time such determination is made.
CHARGE FOR PARTIAL AND TOTAL SURRENDERS
Except as provided below, a total or partial surrender is subject to a
surrender charge calculated as a percentage of the dollar amount of previous
Purchase Payments with respect to a Contract which are withdrawn. Except as
provided below it is assumed that the most recent Purchase Payments are
withdrawn first, and no surrender charge is ever imposed on any amount not
actually withdrawn.
Amounts exchanged to this Contract from other variable annuity contracts
issued by the Company pursuant to any exchange offered by the Company are not
considered to be Purchase Payments for purposes of calculating a surrender
charge. For such Contract exchanges, exchanged amounts shall be deemed to be
withdrawn only after all other Purchase Payments have been withdrawn.
The surrender charge is equal to 5% of the lesser of (a) all Purchase
Payments received during the most recent 36 months prior to the receipt of the
surrender request by the Company at its Home Office, or (b) the amount
withdrawn. For purposes of this charge, the Company treats withdrawals of
Purchase Payments before any earnings. Additionally, the most recent Purchase
Payments are treated as withdrawn first.
The first partial surrender per Contract Year of 10% or less of
Accumulation Value will not be subject to a surrender charge. These 10%
withdrawals without charge do not reduce Purchase Payments for purposes of
computing the charge. However, if the first partial surrender (or total
surrender, if there have been no partial surrenders) exceeds 10% of Accumulation
Value, the surrender charge will be applied to the lesser of (a) the amount in
excess of 10%, or (b) the amount of the surrender attributable to Purchase
Payments received during the most recent 36 months. The second or any subsequent
surrenders during a Contract Year may be subject to a surrender charge.
If a surrender charge is assessed against any Purchase Payment, that
Purchase Payment (or, if the surrender charge is assessed against less than the
entire Purchase Payment, that portion against which such charge is assessed)
will not be subject to any further surrender charge in the event of a subsequent
withdrawal.
The surrender charge is not imposed upon annuitization of a Contract at the
Annuity Date or upon any payments received by an Annuitant or Beneficiary in
lieu of annuity payments during the Annuity Period except when a lump sum
payment is elected by the Annuitant during the Annuity Period under the fifth
annuity option. (See "Annuity Payment Options" and "Death of Annuitant During
Annuity Period.") Nor is the surrender charge imposed on the payment of benefits
to a Beneficiary when an Annuitant dies during the Accumulation Period. (See
"Death Benefits During Accumulation Period.")
The surrender charge reimburses the Company for part or all of its expenses
related to distributing the Contracts. The Company believes, however, that the
amount of such expenses will exceed the amount of revenues generated by the
surrender charge. The Company will pay such excess out of its general surplus
which, among other things, would include any gains from the asset charge
described below under "Charge to the Separate Account."
21
<PAGE> 22
This surrender charge will not be assessed on surrenders under Contracts
purchased by American General Corporation's Thrift and Incentive Plan, an
employee benefit program under section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), because no sales representative was involved in the sale of such
Contracts and the Company paid no sales commissions to any party in connection
with such sales.
Examples of calculation of the surrender charges upon partial and total
surrenders are set forth in the Statement of Additional Information --
"Calculation of Surrender Charge."
CHARGE FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT MAINTENANCE
A Contract maintenance charge of $30 will be assessed on each Contract by
the Company on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Company
receives the first Purchase Payment, and annually on that date thereafter during
the Accumulation Period. This charge will be assessed proportionately among the
Divisions of the Separate Account and the General Account which make up the
Accumulation Value of the Contract. The Contract maintenance charge is not
guaranteed and may, with prior regulatory approval if required, be changed for
future years. Any change to this charge will apply to Contracts purchased both
before and after such change. This charge is to reimburse the Company for the
cost of administrative expenses, including the expenses incurred in establishing
and maintaining the records relating to the Contract. The Company does not
expect that the revenues it will derive from this charge will exceed such
expenses.
The annual Contract maintenance charge may be reduced or waived on
Contracts purchased by American General Corporation's Thrift and Incentive Plan
because such Contracts do not occasion the administrative expenses which the
Contract maintenance charge usually covers. For example, these Contracts are
purchased in large numbers only once a year, thereby dramatically lowering the
cost of processing such Contracts.
CHARGE TO THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
To cover administrative expenses not covered by the maintenance charge
discussed above, and to compensate the Company for assuming mortality risks
under the Contracts, the Separate Account will incur a daily charge at an
annualized rate of 1% on the daily net asset value of the Separate Account
attributable to the Contracts. Of this charge, the Company estimates .07% is for
administrative expenses and .93% is for mortality risks. This charge is
guaranteed and may not be increased by the Company.
In assuming the mortality risks, the Company is taking the chance that its
actuarial estimate of mortality rates during the Annuity Period may prove
erroneous and that the Annuitant will live longer than expected or that the
Annuitant will die during the Accumulation Period at a time when the death
benefit guaranteed by the Company is higher than the Accumulation Value of the
Contract. The Company does not expect to earn a profit on that portion of the
charge which is for administrative expenses, but the Company does expect to
derive a profit from the portion which is for assumption of mortality risks.
There is no necessary relationship between the amount of administrative charges
imposed on a given Contract and the amount of expenses actually attributable to
that Contract.
MISCELLANEOUS
A daily charge based on a percentage of average daily net assets is payable
by each Fund to the Company for investment management. These charges, and other
Fund charges and expenses more fully described in the prospectus for the Series
Company, are borne indirectly by the Contract Owners.
CHARGE FOR INCOME TAXES
Currently, no charge is made against the Separate Account for the Company's
Federal income taxes, or provisions for such taxes that may be attributable to
the Separate Account. Under existing Federal income tax law, the investment
income and capital gains from the sale of investments realized by the Separate
Account are not taxable. The Company may charge each Division in the Separate
Account for its portion of any income tax charged to the Company or the Division
or its assets. Under present laws, the Company may incur state and local taxes
(in addition to Federal taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are
not significant. If they increase, however, the Company may decide to make
22
<PAGE> 23
charges for such taxes or provisions for such taxes against the Separate
Account. Any such charges against the Separate Account or its Divisions could
have an adverse effect on the investment performance of such Division.
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
During the period before the commencement of annuity payments (the
"Accumulation Period"), the Contract Owner or employer may make Purchase
Payments from time to time, and on such dates and in such amounts as may be
determined pursuant to the retirement plan for which the Contract has been
purchased.
In all cases, the initial Purchase Payment must be preceded by or
accompanied by a properly completed application. Except in the case of IRAs,
Purchase Payments are generally remitted through or by an employer and the
Company must also receive a premium flow report which identifies the amount to
be credited to each individual Contract held pursuant to the employer's
retirement plan.
The initial and subsequent Purchase Payments for a periodic payment
Contract must be at least $30. This minimum applies separately to the amount of
each Purchase Payment directed to each Division of the Separate Account or the
General Account. For single payment Contracts, the minimum Purchase Payment is
$1,000 per Contract. However, these minimums may be waived where one purchaser,
such as an employer, purchases a number of Contracts.
When an initial Purchase Payment accompanies an application to purchase a
Contract (and, if required, a premium flow report), the Company will, within two
business days after receipt of the application at its Home Office, either (a)
process and accept the application, issue the Contract, and credit Accumulation
Units to the Contract as of the date of acceptance; (b) reject the application
and return the Purchase Payment; or (c) request additional documents or
information if the application is not complete or is incorrectly completed. With
respect to (c), a Purchase Payment will be returned if a correctly completed
application is not received within five business days unless the Contract Owner
agrees otherwise. For initial and subsequent payments, Accumulation Units will
be credited at the Accumulation Unit value calculated as of the day the Purchase
Payment was received by the Company, if received at the Company's Home Office
before the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange, generally
4:00 p.m. New York time on a day Accumulation Unit values are calculated;
otherwise, the next calculated Accumulation Unit value is used. As a result, the
Participant Account will be credited with the investment experience of the
Separate Account from the date of the Company's receipt of the Purchase Payment.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Contract, a Participant may allocate
and/or accumulate amounts in up to seven of the fifteen available subaccounts
(the thirteen Variable Investment Options and the two Fixed Interest Options).
The Accumulation Value of a Participant's Account or Contract during the
Accumulation Period is the sum of values of the Fixed Interest Options and the
Variable Investment Options.
A Participant may allocate all or a portion of Purchase Payments to the
Fixed Subaccount. The Fixed Subaccount consists of two Fixed Interest Options
which are part of the Company's General Account. Each Fixed Interest Option pays
interest at a declared rate which may differ depending upon the Fixed Interest
Option selected. The Company bears the full amount of the investment risk for
amounts allocated to either of the Fixed Interest Options. Earned interest on
amounts allocated to the Fixed Subaccount will be paid regardless of the actual
investment experience of the General Account. Because of exemptive and
exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Subaccount have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and neither the Fixed Subaccount
nor the General Account has been registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, interests in the Fixed Subaccount
are not subject to regulation under these Acts. As a result, the staff of the
SEC has not reviewed the disclosures which are included in this Prospectus and
which relate to the General Account and the Fixed Subaccount. These disclosures,
however, may be subject to certain provisions of federal securities law relating
to the accuracy and completeness statements made in this Prospectus.
The value of a Participant's Account attributable to the Fixed Subaccount
during the Accumulation Period is the sum of all net Purchase
23
<PAGE> 24
Payments allocated to either of the Fixed Interest Options in the Fixed
Subaccount, amounts transferred from the Separate Account's Variable Investment
Options to any Fixed Interest Option, and all earned interest. This amount is
reduced by amounts transferred out or withdrawn and may be further reduced by
the deduction of certain charges.
A Participant may allocate all or a portion of Purchase Payments to the
Variable Investment Options. The value of the Contract and of an individual's
account attributable to the Variable Investment Options can be determined at any
time by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units outstanding in each
Separate Account Division under the Contract or account by the current
Accumulation Unit value of that Separate Account Division adding the results
plus any amounts attributable to the General Accounts. During the Accumulation
Period, the value of the Contract attributable to the Variable Investment
Options varies with the performance of the investments of the Separate Account
Divisions, and there is no assurance that such value will equal or exceed
Purchase Payments. The number of Accumulation Units credited will not be changed
by any subsequent change in the value of an Accumulation Unit, but the dollar
value of an Accumulation Unit may vary from day to day depending upon the
investment experience of the Separate Account Division.
The Accumulation Unit value is calculated as follows. First, a gross
investment rate is determined from the investment performance of each Separate
Account Division. The gross investment rate is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. New
York time on each business day when the New York Stock Exchange is open (except
the Friday following Thanksgiving, the Friday following Christmas if Christmas
falls on a Thursday and the Monday before Christmas if Christmas falls on a
Tuesday). Such rate is (i) the investment income and capital gains and losses,
whether realized or unrealized on such day, from the assets attributable to each
Separate Account Division, divided by (ii) the value of the Separate Account
Division for the immediately preceding day on which such values were calculated.
The net investment rate for any day is determined by deducting from the gross
investment rate, a factor representing the mortality risk and expense charges
described herein. (See "Charge to the Separate Account"), and any applicable
income taxes. The Accumulation Unit value for a given day is then determined by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the preceding day by a net
investment factor equal to the net investment rate plus 1.00.
Illustrations showing the calculation of an Accumulation Unit value and the
purchase of Accumulation Units (using hypothetical examples) are contained in
the Statement of Additional Information -- "Accumulation Unit Value."
DEATH BENEFITS DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD
If an Annuitant under a Contract dies during the Accumulation Period, there
will be an amount payable to the Beneficiary equal to the greater of (a) the
Accumulation Value of the Contract on the date proof of death is received by the
Company; or (b) 100% of Purchase Payments, reduced by the amount deducted in
connection with any partial surrenders. (See "Surrender.") The Beneficiary may
exercise the right to receive the death benefit as a lump-sum settlement or in
the form of any of the annuity options provided in the Contract. (See "Annuity
Payment Options.") Beneficiaries other than the spouse of an Annuitant must
receive the death benefit in full by the date five years after the Annuitant's
death unless payments commence within one year of the Annuitant's death under a
life annuity, a life annuity with payments certain or payments for a designated
period. Payments certain or payments for a designated period in any case cannot
be selected for a period exceeding the Beneficiary's life expectancy. The
Beneficiary thereafter will be entitled to exercise many of the investment
options and other rights the Annuitant would have under the Contract.
SUSPENSION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Flexible payment Contracts contain provisions protecting against
forfeiture. If, at any time, additional Purchase Payments are not made, the
number of Accumulation Units outstanding under the Contract at that time will
remain constant (so long as no transfer election is made), and the value of the
Units will continue to vary. The Accumulation Value will continue to be subject
to charges during the period of suspension. The Contract Owner may resume making
Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Period, so long as the
Contract has not been
24
<PAGE> 25
surrendered and the Contract has not otherwise been terminated.
Under individual Contracts, the Company may cause such automatic surrender
if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the total of Purchase
Payments, reduced by amounts deducted in connection with any partial surrenders,
falls below $300; (2) the total of Accumulation Value, reduced by amounts
deducted in connection with any partial surrenders, falls below $300; and (3) no
Purchase Payments have been made for two Participant Years.
ANNUITY PERIOD
FIXED OR VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
If the plan so permits, the Annuitant may elect to have any portion of the
Accumulation Value applied to provide either a variable annuity or a fixed
annuity, or a combination of both.
Fixed annuity payments are monthly payments from the Company to an
individual, the amount of which is fixed and guaranteed by the Company. The
amount of the monthly payments will depend only on the form and duration of
annuity payments chosen, the age of the Annuitant or the Beneficiary (and sex,
under individual retirement annuity ("IRA") contracts), the total Accumulation
Value applied to purchase the annuity, the applicable annuity rates. If it would
produce greater benefits, the amount of the monthly payment will be that
produced by a then currently issued immediate annuity of the same form.
Variable annuity payments are similar to fixed annuity payments, except
that the amount of each monthly payment from the Company will vary reflecting
the net investment experience of each Division of the Separate Account in which
the Net Purchase Payments are accumulated. (See Statement of Additional
Information -- "Amount of Annuity Payments" and "Annuity Unit Value.") If the
net investment experience for a given month, after all charges summarized below,
exceeds the Assumed Investment Rate (3 1/2% per annum unless a different rate is
selected), the monthly payment will be greater than the previous payment. If the
net investment experience for a month is less than such Assumed Investment Rate,
the monthly payment will be less than the previous monthly payment. (See the
Statement of Additional Information -- "Assumed Investment Rate.")
The use of an Assumed investment Rate higher than 3 1/2% per annum would
cause the first annuity payment to be larger, but subsequent payments would
increase more slowly or decrease more quickly and ultimately be less than they
would under a 3 1/2% Assumed Investment Rate, provided that annuity payments
continue for a sufficient period of time. A 3 1/2% Assumed Investment Rate will
be used in the absence of a selection otherwise.
Up to three Divisions of the Separate Account, or two Divisions of the
Separate Account and the General Account may be selected to provide an annuity.
The first payment provided under the variable and the fixed annuity must each be
at least $25.
ANNUITY DATE
Annuity payments under deferred Contracts may begin on the first day of any
month before the Annuitant's 75th birthday, as selected by the Contract Owner on
a form approved by the Company. However, special rules apply to payments under
403(b), 401, 403(a) and 457 plans or simplified employee pension plans ("SEPs").
(See the discussion of required distributions for each plan type under "Federal
Tax Matters.")
ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS
The Annuitant may elect to have the Accumulation Value of the Contract
applied on the Annuity Date to any one of the options listed below. The amount
applied to effect an annuity will be the Accumulation Value on the tenth day
preceding the Annuity Date.
In most cases, if the Annuitant does not specify one of the options at
least thirty days prior to the Annuity Date, annuity payments are made in
accordance with the second option, with payments being guaranteed for a ten year
period. If the Contract is issued under certain retirement plans, however,
federal pension law may require that payments be made pursuant to the fourth
option unless otherwise elected. Tax laws and regulations may impose further
restrictions to assure that the primary purpose of the plan is distribution of
the accumulated funds to the employee. Absent a contrary election at least
thirty days in advance, General Account accumulations
25
<PAGE> 26
will be used to provide a fixed annuity, and Separate Account accumulations will
be used to provide a variable annuity based on the same Divisions of the
Separate Account in which the Contract was invested immediately prior thereto.
An Annuitant wishing to receive a lump sum rather than an annuity may surrender
the Contract as described below under "Surrender."
An Annuitant or Beneficiary receiving Annuity Payments under the fifth
option can elect at any time, if the Annuitant or Beneficiary has previously
elected rights of commutation, to terminate such option and receive the current
value of all remaining Annuity Payments owed under the Contract, discounted to
present value (at the Assumed Investment Rate previously selected) based on
values next determined after the request for such payment is received at the
Company's Home Office. A surrender charge will be imposed on the Purchase
Payments made within 36 months preceding such election by an Annuitant.
First Option -- Life Annuity. Variable annuity payments are payable monthly
during the lifetime of the Annuitant, and the annuity terminates with the last
payment preceding death. This option offers the maximum amount per variable
annuity payment since there is no provision for a death benefit for
Beneficiaries. It would be possible under this option for the Annuitant to
receive only one annuity payment if he died prior to the date of the second
payment, two if he died before the third annuity payment date, etc.
Second Option -- Life Annuity with 60, 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments
Certain. Variable annuity payments are payable monthly during the lifetime of an
Annuitant with the provision that, if the Annuitant dies during the certain
period, the Beneficiary may receive monthly payments for the remainder of the
certain period.
Third Option -- Unit Refund Life Annuity. Variable annuity payments are
payable monthly during the lifetime of an Annuitant with an additional payment
to the Beneficiary at the death of the Annuitant equal to the then-current value
of any Annuity Units credited to the Contract at the Annuity Date which have not
theretofore been paid out in the form of annuity payments. For this purpose, the
number of Annuity Units credited to the Contract at the Annuity Date will be the
total value applied to this option divided by the Annuity Unit value at the date
used to calculate the first annuity payment.
Fourth Option -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity. Variable annuity
payments are payable monthly during the joint lifetimes of two Annuitants and
continue during the lifetime of the surviving Annuitant. This option is designed
primarily for couples who require maximum possible variable annuity payments
during their joint lives and who are not concerned with providing for
Beneficiaries at the death of the last to survive. It would be possible under
this option for the joint Annuitants to receive only one payment if both
Annuitants died prior to the date of the second payment, or for the joint
Annuitants to receive only one payment and the surviving Annuitant to receive
only one payment if one Annuitant died prior to the date of the second payment
and the surviving Annuitant died prior to the date of the third payment, etc.
Fifth Option -- Payments for Designated Period. Annuity payments are
payable monthly for a selected number of years between three and fifteen. At any
time during such period, if the Annuitant or Beneficiary has previously elected
rights of commutation, the Annuitant may elect to receive in one sum the present
value of the remaining payments, calculated on the basis of an interest rate per
annum equal to that rate used to calculate the Annuitant's first annuity
payment. If an election to receive such present value is made by an Annuitant,
the surrender charge will be applied to Purchase Payments made within 36 months
of the time of the election. Under the Federal tax laws, the election of this
lump-sum option may be treated in the same manner as a surrender of the
Contract. If the Contract is surrendered, usually the full amount received would
be includable in income for that year, and, to the extent so included, would be
taxed at ordinary rates, subject to possible special tax treatment for some
distributions from retirement programs. If payments would amount to less than
$25 each, the Company may make payments less frequently than monthly.
ENHANCEMENTS UNDER ANNUITY OPTIONS
Enhancements of the annuity options described above recently have been made
available under the Contracts. These include partial annuitization, flexible
payments of varying amounts and inflation protection payments. To the extent
some or all of these options do not result in
26
<PAGE> 27
"substantially equal payments" over the life expectancy of the Annuitant,
electing such options may result in unfavorable tax consequences to Annuitants
under age 59 1/2. (See "Federal Tax Matters.") Additionally certain options may
be available with a one to twenty payment certain periods. Further, Option Four
is available with a one to twenty payment certain period. Not all of the
enhancements are available under each option.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT DURING ANNUITY PERIOD
If the Annuitant dies during the Annuity Period, the Beneficiary may be
entitled to payment of an additional amount or amounts, and may be entitled to
certain alternatives discussed below. If, prior to death, the Annuitant had been
receiving payments under the first or fourth options, no additional amounts
would be due. If, however, the Annuitant had been receiving payments under the
second, the third or the fifth options, the Beneficiary may elect one of the
following three alternatives:
1. elect to receive in a lump sum the present value, discounted at the
Assumed Investment Rate, of any remaining annuity payments owed under
the Contract based on the then-current Annuity Unit value;
2. elect to continue receiving annuity payments under the terms of the
Contract, in which case the Beneficiary would be entitled at any time
thereafter to receive the present value of remaining annuity payments,
discounted at the Assumed Investment Rate, based on the Annuity Unit
value next determined after request for such payment is received at the
Company's Home Office; or
3. elect to have the present value, discounted at the Assumed Investment
Rate, of any annuity payments owed on the Contract, based on the
then-current Annuity Unit value, applied to the fifth option, either on
a fixed or variable basis, or a combination of both, for a period
shorter than the period remaining under the annuity option selected by
the Annuitant.
Under the Federal tax laws, the election of alternative (2) above may be
treated in the same manner as a surrender of the Contract. If the Contract is
surrendered, usually the full amount received would be includable in income for
that year and, to the extent so included, would be taxed at the ordinary rate.
SURRENDER
All or part of the Surrender Value of a Contract may be withdrawn by the
Contract Owner at any time before the commencement of annuity payments, provided
that the Annuitant is alive at the time of surrender. This right is subject to
any restrictions on surrender under applicable law and the employer's plan. The
Contract must be returned to and be received by the Company before a total
surrender will be effected. (See "Charge for Partial and Total Surrenders" for
an explanation of charges which may be assessed upon surrender.)
The Surrender Value of a Contract at any time is equal to the Accumulation
Value under the Contract at the time of surrender, less any surrender charge.
For this purpose, the value of an Accumulation Unit is that next computed after
the request for surrender is received at the Company's Home Office. There is no
assurance that the Surrender Value will equal or exceed the aggregate amount of
Purchase Payments at any time.
A partial surrender will result in a reduction of the Accumulation Value
credited to a Contract. The reduction will equal the dollar amount surrendered
plus the surrender charge, if any, and will be allocated among the General
Account value and the values in the Divisions in the same proportion as the
surrender requested by the Contract Owner. The reduction in the number of
Accumulation Units credited to a Division of the Separate Account will equal the
amount surrendered from that Division plus the surrender charge allocable to
that Division, if any, divided by the applicable Accumulation Unit value next
computed after the written request for surrender is received at the Company's
Home Office. If the entire value under a Division is surrendered in a partial
surrender, the dollar amount surrendered will be reduced by the surrender charge
allocable to that Division.
Under the Texas State Optional Retirement Program or in most Section 403(b)
Contracts, no surrender or partial surrender by a participant
27
<PAGE> 28
will be permitted prior to termination of employment, retirement or death. (See
"Federal Tax Matters.")
Under the Florida State Optional Retirement Program no surrender or partial
surrender by a Participant of Accumulation Values attributable to Purchase
Payments contributed by the Participant's employer will be permitted. Benefits
based on employer contributions may only be paid upon the Participant's death,
retirement or termination of employment. Except in the case of the Participant's
death, and except for certain small amounts as approved by the State of Florida,
such benefit payments may not be paid in a lump sum or for a period certain, but
will only be paid through a life contingency option.
For an explanation of possible adverse tax consequences from a partial
redemption or surrender, see "Federal Tax Matters."
Payments of Surrender Values as well as lump-sum payments available under
an annuity option will be made within seven calendar days after receipt of the
written request by the Company at its Home Office; however, payments
attributable to a Division may be suspended or postponed at any time when
redemption of the Fund's shares is suspended or postponed. (See "Offering,
Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares" in the Series Company Statement of
Additional Information for a discussion of the circumstances under which each
Fund may suspend or postpone redemption of its shares.) Payments attributable to
a Division of the Separate Account may also be suspended or postponed during any
period when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is suspended or restricted,
when an emergency makes it impracticable for the company fairly to determine the
value of its net assets or for such time as the Securities and Exchange
Commission may by order permit.
Occasionally, the Company may receive a request for total or partial
surrender which includes Accumulation Values derived from Purchase Payments
which have not cleared the banking system. The Company may delay mailing that
portion of the Surrender Value which relates to such amounts until the check for
the payment has cleared. The Accumulation Unit value used to determine the
remaining Surrender Value to be remitted will be on the basis of the valuation
next computed after receipt of the request for surrender.
OTHER CONTRACT FEATURES
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is designated in the application by the Contract Owner, and
may be changed at any time unless such designation has been made irrevocable.
Under certain retirement programs, however, spousal consent may be required to
name or change a Beneficiary, and the right to name a Beneficiary other than the
spouse may be subject to applicable tax laws and regulations. If no Beneficiary
is living at the time of an Annuitant's death, any benefits otherwise payable
under the Contract to the Beneficiary will be payable to the Annuitant's estate.
If a Beneficiary dies while receiving payments under the Contract, and if no
other Beneficiary is then living, any remaining benefits owed under the Contract
will be paid to such Beneficiary's estate.
REVOCATION
The Contract Owner may revoke the Contract by returning it to the Company
within ten days of delivery or such longer revocation period as is required by
state law. The Company will refund any Purchase Payments received for the
Contract, unless a larger refund is required by state law.
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
The Company reserves the right to amend the Contract (1) to conform with
substitutions of investments or (2) to comply with tax or other laws applicable
to these types of Contracts. The Company also reserves the right (3) to operate
the Separate Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act, in
consideration of receipt of an investment management fee, or in any other form
permitted by law, and (4) to deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act
in the event such registration is no longer required.
RELATIONSHIP TO EMPLOYER'S PLAN
Since it is contemplated that all Contracts offered by this prospectus will
be used for retirement programs, reference should be made to specific plan
provisions and restrictions, if any, contained in the employers' plan in
connection with this description of the Contracts.
Plan loans from the portion of the Contract attributable to the General
Account may be per-
28

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
GENERAL
Major changes in Federal income tax laws in the past several years may
affect the tax treatment of investments in the Contracts. It is not feasible to
comment on all of these changes, and Contract Owners should consult a qualified
tax advisor for more complete information. Contract Owners should also be aware
that future legislation may change some of the rules discussed in the following
materials.
TAXES PAYABLE BY PARTICIPANTS AND
ANNUITANTS
The Contracts offered in connection with this prospectus are used with
retirement programs which receive favorable tax deferred treatment under Federal
income tax law.
Annuity payments, or other amounts received under all Contracts generally
are subject to some form of federal income tax withholding. The withholding
requirement will vary among recipients depending on the type of program, the tax
status of the individual and the type of payments from which taxes are withheld.
Additionally, annuity payments or other amounts received under all contracts may
be subject to state income tax withholding requirements.
SECTION 403(B) ANNUITIES FOR EMPLOYEES
OF CERTAIN TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS OR
PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Purchase Payments. Under section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by
certain employers (i.e., tax-exempt organizations, meeting the requirements of
section 501(c)(3) of the Code and public educational institutions) to purchase
annuity Contracts for their employees are excludable from the gross income of
employees to the extent that the aggregate Purchase Payments do not exceed the
limitations prescribed by section 402(g), section 403(b)(2), and section 415 of
the Code. This gross income exclusion applies to employer contributions and
voluntary salary reduction contributions.
An individual's voluntary salary reduction contributions under section
403(b) are generally limited to the lesser of $9,500 or 20 percent of salary;
additional catch-up contributions are permitted under certain circumstances.
Combined employer and salary reduction contributions are generally limited to
the lesser of $30,000 or approximately 20 percent of salary. In addition, for
plan years beginning after December 31, 1988, employer contributions must comply
with various nondiscrimination rules; these rules may have the effect of further
limiting the rate of employer contributions for highly compensated employees.
Taxation of Distributions. Distributions of voluntary salary reduction
amounts are restricted. The restrictions apply to amounts accumulated after
December 31, 1988 (including voluntary contributions after that date and
earnings on prior and current voluntary contributions). These restrictions
require that no distributions will be permitted prior to one of the following
events: (1) attainment of age 59 1/2, (2) separation from service, (3) death,
(4) disability, or (5) hardship (hardship distributions will be limited to the
amount of salary reduction contributions exclusive of earnings thereon).
Distributions from a section 403(b) annuity contract are taxed as ordinary
income to the recipient in accordance with section 72 of the Code. Distributions
received before the recipient attains age 59 1/2 generally are subject to a 10%
penalty tax in addition to regular income tax. Certain distributions are
excepted from this penalty tax, including distributions following (1) death, (2)
disability, (3) separation from service during or after the year the participant
reaches age 55, (4) separation from service at any age if the distribution is in
the form of substantially equal periodic payments over the life (or life
expectancy) of the Participant (or the Participant and Beneficiary), and (5)
distributions in excess of tax deductible medical expenses.
Required Distributions. Generally, distributions from section 403(b)
annuities must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 and such distributions
must be made over a period that does not exceed the life expectancy of the
Participant (or joint life expectancy of the Participant and Beneficiary).
Participants employed by governmental entities and certain church organizations
may delay the commencement of payments until April 1 of the calendar year
following retirement if they remain
29
<PAGE> 30
employed after attaining age 70 1/2. Upon the death of the Contract Owner prior
to the commencement of annuity payments, the amount accumulated under the
Contract must be distributed within five years or, if distributions to a
beneficiary designated under the Contract commence within one year of the
Contract Owner's death, distributions are permitted over the life of the
beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the beneficiary's life
expectancy. If the Contract Owner has commenced receiving annuity distributions
prior to his death, distributions must continue at least as rapidly as under the
method in effect at the date of his death. However, amounts accumulated under a
Contract on December 31, 1986, are not subject to these minimum distribution
requirements. Pre-January 1, 1987 amounts may be paid in a manner that meets the
above rule or (i) must begin to be paid when the Participant attains age 75; and
(ii) the present value of payments expected to be made over the life of the
Participant under the option chosen must exceed 50% of the present value of all
payments expected to be made (the "50% rule"). The 50% rule will not apply to
joint annuitants, if a Participant's spouse is the joint annuitant.
Notwithstanding these rules for pre-January 1, 1987 amounts held under 403(b)
Contracts, the entire Contract balance must meet the minimum distribution
incidental benefit requirement of section 403(b)(10). A penalty tax of 50% will
be imposed on the amount by which the minimum required distribution in any year
exceeds the amount actually distributed in that year.
Tax-Free Transfers and Rollovers. The IRS has ruled (Revenue Ruling 90-24)
that total or partial amounts may be transferred tax free between section 403(b)
annuity contracts and/or 403(b)(7) custodial accounts under certain conditions.
In addition, section 403(b)(8) of the Code permits tax-free rollovers from
section 403(b) programs to IRAs or other section 403(b) programs under certain
circumstances. Such a rollover must be completed within 60 days of receipt of
the distribution. The portion of any distribution which is eligible to be rolled
over to an IRA or another 403(b) program is subject to 20% federal income tax
withholding unless the Participant elects a direct rollover of such distribution
to an IRA or other section 403(b) program.
SECTION 401 QUALIFIED PENSION, PROFIT-
SHARING OR ANNUITY PLANS
Purchase Payments. Purchase Payments made by an employer (or a
self-employed individual) under a pension, profit-sharing or annuity plan
qualified under section 401 or section 403(a) of the Code are excluded from the
gross income of the employee for Federal income tax purposes. Payments made by
an employee generally are made on an after-tax basis, unless they are made on a
pre-tax basis by reason of Sections 401(k) or 414(h).
Taxation of Distributions. Distributions from Contracts purchased under
qualified plans are taxable as ordinary income, except to the extent allocable
to an employee's after-tax contributions (which constitute "investment in the
Contract"). However, if an employee or the Beneficiary receives a lump sum
distribution, as defined in the Code, from an exempt employees' trust, the
taxable portion of the distribution may be subject to special tax treatment. For
most individuals receiving lump sum distributions after attainment of age
59 1/2, the rate of tax may be determined under a special 5-year income
averaging provision. Those who attained age 50 by January 1, 1986 may instead
elect to use a 10-year income averaging provision based on the income tax rates
in effect for 1986. In addition, individuals who attained age 50 by January 1,
1986 may elect capital gains treatment (at a 20% rate) for the taxable portion
of a lump sum distribution attributable to years of service before 1974; such
capital gains treatment has otherwise been repealed. Taxable distributions
received under a Contract purchased under a qualified plan prior to attainment
of age 59 1/2 are subject to the same 10% penalty tax (and the same exceptions)
as described with respect to section 403(b) annuity Contracts.
Required Distributions. The minimum distribution requirements for qualified
plans are generally the same as described with respect to section 403(b) annuity
Contracts, except that no amounts are exempted from the minimum distribution
requirements.
Tax-Free Rollovers. The taxable portion of certain distributions from a
plan qualified under section 401 or 403(a), may be transferred in a tax-free
rollover to an individual retirement account or annuity or to another such plan.
Such a rollover must be completed within 60 days of
30
<PAGE> 31
receipt of the qualifying distribution. The portion of any distribution which is
eligible to be rolled over to an IRA or section 401(a) or 403(a) plan is subject
to 20% federal income tax withholding unless the Participant elects a direct
rollover of such distribution to an IRA or other section 401(a) or 403(a) plan.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
Purchase Payments. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 has limited the extent to
which individuals may make tax-deductible contributions for IRA Contracts.
Deductible contributions equal to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of compensation
are permitted only for individuals who (i) are not (and whose spouses are not)
active participants in another retirement plan; (ii) are active participants in
another retirement plan, but are unmarried and have adjusted gross income of
$25,000 or less; or (iii) are active participants (or have spouses who are) in
another retirement plan, but are married and have adjusted gross income of
$40,000 or less. Such individuals may also establish an IRA for a nonworking
spouse who receives no compensation during the tax year; the annual
tax-deductible Purchase Payments for both spouses' Contracts cannot exceed the
lesser of $2,250 or 100% of the working spouse's earned income; no more than
$2,000 may be contributed to either spouse's IRA for any year. Individuals who
are active participants in other retirement plans and whose adjusted gross
income exceeds the cut-off point ($25,000 for unmarried and $40,000 for married)
by less than $10,000 are entitled to make deductible IRA contributions in
proportionately reduced amounts.
An individual may make nondeductible IRA contributions to the extent of the
excess of (i) the lesser of $2,000 ($2,250 in the case of contributions to both
the individual's IRA and spousal IRA) or 100% of compensation over (ii) the IRA
deduction limit with respect to the individual.
Taxation of Distributions. Distributions from IRA Contracts are taxed as
ordinary income to the recipient. In addition, a 10% penalty tax will be imposed
on taxable distributions received before the year in which the recipient attains
age 59 1/2, except that distributions made on account of death, disability or in
the form of substantially equal periodic payments over the life (life
expectancy) of the participant (or the participant and beneficiary) are not
subject to the penalty tax.
Required Distributions. The minimum distribution requirements for IRA
Contracts are generally the same as described with respect to section 403(b)
Annuity Contracts, except that no amounts are exempted from the minimum
distribution requirements and, in all events, such distributions must commence
no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which
the Participant attains age 70 1/2.
Tax-Free Rollovers. Federal law permits funds to be transferred in a
tax-free rollover from a qualified employer pension, profit-sharing or annuity
Contracts or plan or a section 403(b) annuity Contract to an IRA Contract under
certain conditions. Amounts accumulated under such a rollover IRA may
subsequently be rolled over on a tax-free basis to another such plan or section
403(b) annuity Contract. In addition, a tax-free rollover may be made from one
IRA to another, provided that not more than one such rollover may be made during
any twelve-month period. In order to qualify for tax-free treatment, all
rollovers must be completed within 60 days after the distribution is received.
SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS
Purchase Payments. Under section 408(k) of the Code, employers may
establish a type of IRA plan referred to as a simplified employee pension plan
(SEP). Employer contributions under an SEP, which generally must be made at a
rate representing a uniform percent of the compensation and participating
employees, are excluded from the gross income of employees for Federal income
tax purposes. Employer contributions to a SEP cannot exceed the lesser of
$30,000 or 15% of an employee's compensation for plan years beginning after
December 31, 1993.
Salary Reduction SEPs. Federal tax law allows employees of certain small
employers to have contributions made to the SEP on their behalf on a salary
reduction basis. These salary reduction contributions may not exceed $7,000,
indexed for inflation in later years. Employees of tax-exempt organizations are
not eligible for this type of SEP.
Taxation of Distributions. SEP distributions are subject to taxation in the
same manner as other IRA distributions.
31
<PAGE> 32
Required Distributions. SEP distributions are subject to the same minimum
required distribution rules applicable to other IRAs.
Tax-Free Rollovers. Funds may be rolled over tax free from one SEP to
another as long as the rollover is completed within 60 days after the
distribution is received and is done no more frequently than once every twelve
months.
SECTION 457 UNFUNDED DEFERRED
COMPENSATION PLANS OF PUBLIC
EMPLOYERS AND TAX-EXEMPT
ORGANIZATIONS
Purchase Payments. Under section 457 of the Code, individuals who perform
services for a unit of a state or local government may participate in a deferred
compensation program. Tax-exempt employers may establish deferred compensation
plans under section 457 only for a select group of management or highly
compensated employees and/or independent contractors.
This type of program allows individuals to defer the receipt of
compensation which would otherwise be presently payable and to therefore defer
the payment of Federal income taxes on the amounts. Assuming that the program
meets the requirements to be considered an eligible deferred compensation plan
(an "EDCP"), an individual may contribute (and thereby defer from current income
for tax purposes) the lesser of $7,500 or 33 1/3% of the individual's includible
compensation. (Includible compensation means compensation from the employer
which is currently includable in gross income for Federal tax purposes.) During
the last three years before an individual attains normal retirement age,
additional catch-up deferrals are permitted.
The amounts which are deferred may be used by the employer to purchase the
Contracts offered by this prospectus. The Contract is owned by the employer and,
in fact, is subject to the claims of the employer's creditors. The employee has
no present rights or vested interest in the Contract and is only entitled to
payment in accordance with the EDCP provisions.
Taxation of Distributions. Amounts received by an individual from an EDCP
are includible in gross income for the taxable year in which such amounts are
paid or otherwise made available.
Distributions Before Separation From Service. Distributions generally are
not permitted under an EDCP prior to separation from service except for
unforeseeable emergencies. Emergency distributions are includible in the gross
income of the individual in the year in which paid.
Required Distributions. Beginning January 1, 1989, the minimum distribution
requirements for EDCP's are generally the same as those for qualified plans and
section 403(b) annuity contracts except that no amounts are exempted from
minimum distribution requirements.
Tax-Free Transfers and Rollovers. Federal income tax law permits the
tax-free transfer of EDCP amounts to another EDCP, but not to an IRA or other
type of plan.
PRIVATE EMPLOYER UNFUNDED DEFERRED
COMPENSATION PLANS
Purchase Payments. Private taxable employers may establish unfunded and
non-qualified deferred compensation plans for a select group of management or
highly compensated employees and/or for independent contractors.
Certain arrangements of nonprofit employers entered into prior to August
16, 1986, and not subsequently modified, are subject to the rules for private
taxable employer deferred compensation plans discussed below.
Where a Contract is purchased under a 457 or private employer unfunded
deferred compensation plan, it constitutes a non-qualified contract
("Non-Qualified Contract"). Ordinary Non-Qualified Contracts, not sold pursuant
to such an employer's plan, are not available under this Contract. Purchase
Payments made under ordinary Non-Qualified Contracts are not excludible from the
gross income of the Contract Owner or deductible for tax purposes. Private
employer unfunded deferred compensation plans, however, allow individuals to
defer receipt of up to 100% of compensation which would otherwise be includable
in income and to therefore defer the payment of Federal income taxes on the
amounts. Increases in the Accumulation Value of Non-Qualified Contracts
resulting from the investment performance of the Separate Account are not
taxable to the Contract Owner until received by him. Contract Owners that are
not natural persons, however, are currently taxable on any increase in the
Accumulation Value.
Deferred compensation plans represent a bare contractual promise on the
part of the em-
32
<PAGE> 33
ployer to pay current wages at some future time. The Contract is owned by the
employer and is subject to the claims of the employer's creditors. The
individual has no present right or vested interest in the Contract and is only
entitled to payment in accordance with plan provisions.
Taxation of Distributions. Amounts received by an individual from a private
employer deferred compensation plan are includible in gross income for the
taxable year in which such amounts are paid or otherwise made available.
Tax-Free Transfers and Rollovers. Federal income tax law does not allow
tax-free transfers or rollovers for amounts accumulated in a private employer
deferred compensation plan.
EFFECT OF TAX-DEFERRED ACCUMULATIONS
The charts below compare accumulations attributable to contributions to (1)
Contracts purchased with pre-tax contributions under tax-favored retirement
programs, (2) Non-Qualified Contracts purchased with after tax contributions and
(3) conventional savings vehicles such as savings accounts.
TAX-DEFERRED ACCUMULATION
[bar graph]
This hypothetical chart compares the results of contributing $100 per month
($138.89 for the tax-favored program because contributions are before-tax). It
assumes a 28% tax rate and an 8% fixed rate of return (before fees and charges).
The deduction of fees and charges is reflected in the chart. The dotted lines
represent amounts remaining after withdrawal and payment of taxes and any
surrender charges. An additional 10% tax penalty may apply to withdrawals before
age 59 1/2.
Unlike savings accounts, contributions to tax-favored retirement programs
and non-qualified contracts provide tax-deferred treatment on earnings. In
addition, contributions to tax-favored retirement programs ordinarily are not
subject to income tax until withdrawn. As shown above, investing in a
tax-favored program increases the accumulation power of savings over time. The
more taxes saved and reinvested in the program, the more the accumulation power
effectively grows over the years.
To further illustrate the advantages of tax-deferred savings using a 28%
Federal tax bracket, an annual fixed yield (BEFORE THE DEDUCTION OF ANY FEES OR
CHARGES) of 8% under a tax-favored retirement program in which tax savings were
reinvested has an equivalent annual fixed yield of 5.76% under a conventional
savings program. THE 8% YIELD ON THE TAX-FAVORED PROGRAM WILL BE REDUCED BY THE
IMPACT OF INCOME TAXES UPON WITHDRAWAL. The yield will vary depending upon the
timing of withdrawals. The previous chart shows the actual after-tax amounts
that would be received.
As indicated above, contributions to tax-favored retirement programs are
not subject to Federal income tax unless and until withdrawn. Accumulations
under tax-favored retirement programs are not required to be withdrawn until age
70 1/2. There may be restrictions on withdrawals of certain types of
contributions before age 59 1/2, separation from service, death, disability or
hardship. Withdrawals before age 59 1/2 generally are subject to a 10% penalty
tax in addition to regular income tax, but withdrawals may be eligible for total
or partial rollover to an IRA or another retirement program.
By taking into account the current deferral of taxes, contributions to
tax-favored retirement programs increase the amount available for savings by
decreasing the relative current out-of-pocket cost of the investment. The chart
below illustrates this principle:

This chart compares a $2,500 contribution and assumes a 28% Federal tax
bracket.
FUND DIVERSIFICATION
Non-qualified contracts, as discussed above, are not sold under this
Contract. Separate Account investments for non-qualified contracts are
33
<PAGE> 34
available under other Company Contracts, however.
Separate Account investments must be adequately diversified in order for
the increase in the value of non-qualified contracts to receive tax-deferred
treatment. In order to be adequately diversified, each portfolio must, as of the
end of each calendar quarter or within 30 days thereafter, have no more than 55%
of its assets invested in any one investment, 70% in any two investments, 80% in
any three investments and 90% in any four investments. Failure of a Fund
portfolio to meet the diversification requirements could result in tax liability
to non-qualified contract Owners. The Fund expects to meet the diversification
requirements above and assure tax deferred treatment for holders of any
Non-Qualified Contracts.
The investment opportunities of the Fund could conceivably be limited by
adhering to the above diversification requirements. This would affect all
Contract Owners, including those owners of Qualified Contracts for whom
diversification is not a requirement for tax-deferred treatment.
VOTING RIGHTS
The Contract Owner during the Accumulation Period, the Annuitant during the
Annuity Period, or the Beneficiary after the Annuitant's death, will be entitled
to give instructions to the Company as to how Fund shares held in the Divisions
of the Separate Account attributable to the Contract should be voted at meetings
of shareholders of the Fund or the Series Company. Those persons entitled to
give voting instructions will be determined as of the record date for the
meeting.
During the Accumulation Period, each Annuitant (other than Annuitants under
Contracts issued in connection with non-qualified and unfunded deferred
compensation plans) will have the right to give instructions for those votes,
notwithstanding that the Contract Owner may be the Annuitant's employer.
Contract Owners will instruct the Company in accordance with such instructions.
The number of Fund shares held in a Division deemed attributable to a
Contract prior to the Annuity Date and during the lifetime of the Annuitant will
be determined on the basis of the value of Accumulation Units credited to the
Contract as of the record date. On or after the Annuity Date or after the death
of the Annuitant, the number of Fund shares deemed attributable to the Contract
will be based on the liability for future variable annuity payments to the payee
under the Contract as of the record date. Such liability for future payments
will be calculated on the basis of the mortality assumptions and the Assumed
Investment Rate used in determining the number of Annuity Units credited to the
Contract and the applicable Annuity Unit value on the record date. During the
Annuity Period, the number of votes attributable to a Contract will generally
decrease since funds set aside for an Annuitant will decrease.
Persons who are entitled to vote will receive proxy material and a form on
which voting instructions may be given. Fund shares held in the Separate Account
or any other registered separate account of the Company or its affiliates that
are or are not attributable to annuity contracts as to which no instructions
have been received will be voted for or against any proposition in the same
proportion as the shares for which voting instructions have been received by
that separate account. Fund shares held in unregistered separate accounts of the
Company or its affiliates will be voted in the same proportion as the aggregate
of (i) the shares for which voting instructions are received and (ii) the shares
that are voted in proportion to such voting instructions. However, if the
Company or an affiliate determines that it is permitted to vote any such shares
of the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so, subject to the then current
interpretation of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company ("the Company") is a stock life
insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Texas and is engaged
primarily in the offering and issuance of fixed and variable retirement annuity
contracts and combinations thereof. The Company also is licensed to write life
insurance in all states (other than Connecticut) and the District of Columbia,
and annuities in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. The Company is
an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of American General Corporation (formerly
American General Insurance Company).
On April 18, 1979, the Board of Directors of the Company established
Separate Account A (the "Separate Account") in accordance with the Texas
Insurance Code. The Separate Account is registered with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 ("the 1940 Act").
Each Division of the Separate Account invests in the shares of a
diversified, open-end, management-type investment company registered under the
1940 Act, or one of thirteen investment portfolios of a diversified, open-end,
management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Separate
Account currently is made up of eighteen Divisions, five of which are available
as variable investment options under the Contracts (Divisions One, Two, Four,
Five and Ten). Divisions Four, Five and Ten also are available through certain
other variable annuity contracts issued by the Company through the Separate
Account. Divisions Six, Seven, Eight, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen and Fourteen are
offered only through other variable annuity contracts issued by the Company
through the Separate Account.
TYPES OF VARIABLE ANNUITY
CONTRACTS
Three types of Contracts are offered in connection with the Prospectus to
which this Statement of Additional Information relates:
(1) single payment immediate annuity Contracts;
(2) single payment deferred annuity Contracts; and
(3) flexible payment deferred annuity Contracts.
Under single payment Contracts, only one Purchase Payment is made by the
Contract Owner. Under flexible payment Contracts, Purchase Payments generally
are made until retirement age is reached. However, no Purchase Payments are
required to be made after the first payment. Purchase Payments are subject to
any minimum payment requirements under the Contract.
Under deferred annuity Contracts, Purchase Payments are invested and
accumulate on a fixed or variable basis until the date the Contract Owner
selects to commence annuity payments.
Under immediate annuity Contracts, the first annuity payment is made on the
first day of the second month after the Purchase Payment is received. During the
period before the Annuity Date, the Purchase Payments are invested in the same
manner, and the other terms and conditions (including the options and rights of
Contract Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries) are the same under immediate
annuity Contracts as under deferred annuity Contracts.
The Contracts are non-participating and will not share in any of the
profits of the Company.

CALCULATION OF SURRENDER CHARGE
The surrender charge is discussed in the prospectus under "Charges Under
Variable Annuity Contracts -- Charge for Partial and Total Surrenders." Examples
of calculation of the surrender charge upon total and partial surrender are set
forth below:

2/1/95......................... Purchase Payment 1,000
7/1/95......................... Partial Surrender (Assumes $ 2,500

</TABLE>
a. Since this is the first partial surrender in this contract year, calculate
the excess over 10% of the value of the accumulation units 10% of $10,000 =
$1,000
b. The maximum amount upon which surrender charge may be calculated (levied)
is $2,500 - $1,000 = $1,500
c. Since only $1,000 has been paid in purchase payments in the 36 months prior
to the surrender, the charge can only be calculated on $1,000. Thus, the
charge is $1,000 X (0.05) = $50.00

PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
MONEY MARKET DIVISION YIELDS
CALCULATION OF YIELD FOR MONEY MARKET DIVISION TWO
7-Day Current Yield: 4.15%
ILLUSTRATION OF CALCULATION OF YIELD FOR MONEY MARKET DIVISION TWO
Example 5.
The yield quotation above is based on the seven days ended December 31,
1995, the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the registration
statement ("base period"). It is computed by determining the net change,
exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing
account having a balance of one Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the
period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Contract
Owner accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return and then
multiplying the base period return by 365/7.
CALCULATION OF EFFECTIVE YIELD FOR MONEY MARKET DIVISION TWO
7-Day Effective Yield: 4.24%
ILLUSTRATION OF CALCULATION OF EFFECTIVE YIELD FOR MONEY MARKET DIVISION TWO
Example 6.
The effective yield quotation above is based on the seven days ended
December 31, 1995, the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the
registration statement ("base period"). It is computed by determining the net
change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing account having a balance of one Accumulation Unit at the beginning
of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from
Contract Owner accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account
at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return and then
compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal
to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the result, according to the
following formula:
EFFECTIVE YIELD = [ (BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1) 365/7] -1

<PAGE> 44
STANDARDIZED YIELD FOR CAPITAL CONSERVATION DIVISION ONE
CALCULATION OF STANDARDIZED YIELD
Standardized Yield: 5.23%
ILLUSTRATION OF CALCULATION OF STANDARDIZED YIELD
Example 7.
The yield quotation based on a 30-day period ending December 31, 1995, the
date of the most recent balance sheet of the Registrant included in the
registration statement is computed by dividing the net investment income per
Accumulation Unit earned during the period by the maximum offering price per
Unit on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:
YIELD = 2 [ (a - b + 1 )6 -1 ]
cd
Where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
a = net investment income earned during the period by the Fund attributable
to shares owned by the Division
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)
c = the average daily number of Accumulation Units outstanding during the
period
d = the maximum offering price per Accumulation Unit on the last day of the
period
</TABLE>
Yield is earned from dividends declared and paid by the Fund, which are
automatically reinvested in Fund shares.
CALCULATION OF AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN
Example 8.
Average Annual Total Return quotations for the 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods
ended December 31, 1995, the date of the most recent balance sheet included in
this registration statement, are computed by finding the average annual
compounded rates of return over the 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods that would
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value, according to
the following formula:
P (1+T)n = ERV
Where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
P = a hypothetical initial Purchase Payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
ERV = redeemable value at the end of the 1, 3, 5 or 10 year period of a
hypothetical $1,000 Purchase Payment made at the beginning of the 1, 3,
5, or 10 year period (or fractional portion thereof)
</TABLE>
The calculation above applies to Contracts offered through the Prospectus
and includes the surrender charge of up to 5% of Gross Purchase Payments
received during the most recent 36 months.
There is no sales charge for reinvested dividends. All recurring fees have
been deducted. For fees which vary with the account size, an account size equal
to that of the median account size has been assumed. Ending redeemable value has
been determined assuming a complete redemption at the end of 1, 3, 5 or 10 year
period and deduction of all nonrecurring charges at the end of each such period.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO MARKET INDICES
The following tables show the Hypothetical $10,000 Account Value and
Cumulative Return of each Division as compared to the benchmarks shown.
These performance calculations for the Divisions, and the methods used for
calculating them, are explained in the Prospectus. (See, "Performance
Information" and "The Funds.")
These tables compare hypothetical investment performance and percentage
changes in Accumulation Unit values with the results of several benchmarks,
representing unmanaged market indices. The comparisons should be considered in
light of the investment policies and objectives of the Funds. Rates of return
for the Divisions include reinvestment of investment income, including capital
gains, interest and dividends. The rates of return on the market indices also
have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of interest and dividends.
Price returns for the market indices are calculated by subtracting the
price level at the beginning of the year from the price level at the end of the
year and dividing the difference by the price level at the beginning of the
year. To calculate dollar values for the indices' Hypothetical $10,000 Account
Value presentation, price index values were substituted for Unit values in the
calculation described in the Prospectus, and where applicable, dividend yields
were then added to determine the total returns applied in the dollar value
calculations. Similarly, to calculate Cumulative Return for the indices, the
Cumulative Return calculation described in the Prospectus for Unit values of the
Divisions is used, substituting the Hypothetical $10,000 Account Value at the
end of each year for the Accumulation Unit value. No sales load, administrative
charges, or other expenses have been deducted from the index calculations.
The performance results shown in this section are not an estimate or
guarantee of future investment performance, and do not represent the actual
experience of amounts invested by a particular Participant.
The performance of Capital Conservation Division One may be compared to the
Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate High Yield Index or the Merrill Lynch Corporate
Master Index. The Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate High Yield Index consists of
publicly placed, nonconvertible, coupon-bearing domestic debt. The Index is
composed of approximately 500 issues which are rated by Standard & Poor's
Corporation or by Moody's Investor's Service's as less than investment grade
(i.e., BBB or BAA) but not in default (i.e., DDD1 or less). The Merrill Lynch
Corporate Master Index consists of approximately 4,000 corporate bond holdings
of which assets are rated A or AA. The average years to maturity of these
corporate bond holdings are approximately 7 years.
The performance of Money Market Division Two may be compared to the
Certificate of Deposit Primary Offering by New York City Banks, 30 Day Index.
The Index is a money market index which reflects the average rate paid by New
York Banks on certificates of deposit of more than $100,000. The Index for 30
days is published daily.
The performance of MidCap Index Division Four may be compared to the record
of the Standard & Poor's(R) Corporation (S&P(R)) MidCap 400 Index. The S&P
MidCap 400 Index was developed in 1991 by S&P to track the stock market
performance of medium-capitalization domestic stocks. The S&P MidCap 400 Index
is market weighted and consists of 400 stocks of domestic companies having a
median market capitalization of approximately $600 million. Stocks included in
the S&P MidCap 400 Index are chosen on the basis of their market size, liquidity
and industry group representation. No stocks included in the S&P 500 Composite
Price Index ("S&P 500(R) Index") are included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
The performance of Stock Index Division Ten may be compared to the record
of the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a well known measure of the price
performance of 500 leading larger domestic stocks which represents approximately
80% of the market capitalization of the United States equity market. The index
is an unmanaged weighted index of 500 industrial, transportation, utility and
financial companies.
Timed Opportunity Division Five invests its assets in three market
segments: equity securities, intermediate or long-term debt securities and
6
<PAGE> 46
money market or short-term debt securities. The performance of the equity
segment of the Division may be compared to the S&P 500 Index. The performance of
the intermediate or long-term debt segment may be compared to the Merrill Lynch
Corporate and Government Master Index. The performance of the money market or
short-term debt securities may be compared to the Certificate of Deposit Primary
Offering by New York Banks, 30 Day Index.
These benchmarks do not reflect any charges for investment advisory fees,
brokerage commissions or other fees and expenses of the type charged at either
the Separate Account or Fund level. Therefore, the comparisons with these
benchmarks are of limited use.

ANNUITY PAYMENTS
ASSUMED INVESTMENT RATE
The discussion concerning the amount of annuity payments which follows this
section is based on an Assumed Investment Rate of 3 1/2% per annum. However, the
Company will permit each Annuitant choosing a variable annuity payment option to
select an Assumed Investment Rate permitted by state law or regulations other
than the 3 1/2% rate described in this Prospectus as follows: 4 1/2%, 5% or 6%
per annum. The foregoing Assumed Investment Rates are used merely in order to
determine the first monthly payment per thousand dollars of value. It should not
be inferred that such rates will bear any relationship to the actual net
investment experience of the Separate Account.
AMOUNT OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The amount of the first variable annuity payment to the Annuitant will
depend on the amount of the Accumulation Value applied to effect the variable
annuity as of the tenth day immediately preceding the date annuity payments
commence, the amount of any premium tax owed, the annuity option selected, and
the age of the Annuitant. The Contracts contain tables indicating the dollar
amount of the first annuity payment under each annuity option for each $1,000 of
Accumulation Value (after the deduction for any premium tax) at various ages.
These tables are based upon the Progressive Annuity Table assuming births for
the year 1900 and an Assumed Investment Rate of 3 1/2% per annum, unless
otherwise selected.
11
<PAGE> 51
The portion of the first monthly variable annuity payment derived from a
Division of the Separate Account is divided by the Annuity Unit value for that
Division (calculated ten days prior to the date of the first monthly payment) to
determine the number of Annuity Units in each Division represented by the
payment.
The number of such units will remain fixed during the Annuity Period,
assuming the Annuitant makes no transfers out of the Division.
In any subsequent month, the dollar amount of the variable annuity payment
derived from each Division is determined by multiplying the number of Annuity
Units in that Division by the value of such Annuity Unit on the tenth day
preceding the due date of such payment. The Annuity Unit value will increase or
decrease in proportion to the net investment return of the Division or Divisions
of the Separate Account underlying the variable annuity since the date of the
previous annuity payment, less an adjustment to neutralize the 3 1/2% or other
Assumed Investment Rate referred to above.
Therefore, the dollar amount of variable annuity payments after the first
will vary with the amount by which the net investment return is greater or less
than 3 1/2% per annum. For example, if a Division has a cumulative net
investment return of 5% over a one year period, the first annuity payment in the
next year will be approximately 1 1/2 percentage points greater than the payment
on the same date in the preceding year, and subsequent payments will continue to
vary with the investment experience of the Division. If such net investment
return is 1% over a one year period, the first annuity payment in the next year
will be approximately 2 1/2 percentage points less than the payment on the same
date in the preceding year, and subsequent payments will continue to vary with
the investment experience of the applicable Division.
Each deferred Contract provides that, when fixed annuity payments are to be
made under one of the first four annuity options, the monthly payment to the
Annuitant will not be less than the monthly payment produced by the then current
settlement option rates, which will not be less than the rates used for a
currently issued single payment immediate annuity contract. The purpose of this
provision is to assure the Annuitant that, at retirement, if the fixed annuity
purchase rates then required by the Company for new single payment immediate
annuity contracts are significantly more favorable than the annuity rates
guaranteed by a Contract, the Annuitant will be given the benefit of the new
annuity rates.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUE
The value of an Annuity Unit is calculated at the same time that the value
of an Accumulation Unit is calculated and is based on the same values for Fund
shares and other assets and liabilities. (See "Accumulation Period" in the
Prospectus.) The calculation of Annuity Unit value is discussed in the
Prospectus under "Annuity Period."
The following illustrations show, by use of hypothetical examples, the
method of determining the Annuity Unit value and the amount of variable annuity
payments.

DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
The Company has qualified the Contracts for sale in all fifty states and
the District of Columbia. The Contracts are sold in a continuous offering by
licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of broker-dealers
which are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD"). The principal underwriter for the Separate Account is the Underwriter
as defined above, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. VAMCO's address is
2929 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019. The Underwriter is a Texas corporation
organized in 1970 and is a member of the NASD.
The licensed agents who sell the Contracts will be compensated for such
sales by commissions ranging from 1% to 4.5% of each Purchase Payment. Managers
who supervise the agents will receive overriding commissions ranging to 1% of
Purchase Payments. (These various commissions are paid by the Company and do not
result in any charge to Contract Owners or to the Separate Account in addition
to the charges described in the Prospectus under "Charges Under Variable Annuity
Contracts.")
Pursuant to its underwriting agreement with the Underwriter and the
Separate Account, the Company reimburses the Underwriter for reasonable sales
expenses, including overhead expenses. Sales commissions attributable to the
Contracts paid by the Company for the years 1993, 1994, and 1995 were $108,957,
$98,000 and $61,000 respectively.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors
The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements 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 are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company and Subsidiary at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1.3 to the financial statements, in 1993 the
company changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions, income taxes, postemployment benefits, reinsurance, loan impairments,
and certain investments in debt and equity securities, as a result of adopting
recently promulgated accounting standards governing the accounting treatment
for these items.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
All dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VALIC), an indirect, wholly
owned subsidiary of American General Corporation (AGC), provides tax-deferred
retirement annuities and employer-sponsored retirement plans to employees of
educational, health care, public sector, and not-for-profit organizations.
VALIC markets products nationwide to 900,000 customers through a national
network of 850 sales representatives. VALIC is 100% owned by American General
Life Insurance Company (AGL), a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC Life Insurance
Company (AGC Life). AGC Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC. A summary of
the accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements is set forth below.
1.2 PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of VALIC and its wholly owned marketing
company. All material intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon
consolidation. To conform with the 1995 presentation, certain items in the
prior years' financial statements have been reclassified.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, (2) disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and (3) the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate
results could differ from those estimates.
1.3 ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Current Year. During 1995, VALIC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS 121 establishes accounting
standards for (1) the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used in the
business, and (2) long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. With the adoption of SFAS 121, VALIC measures impairment of
certain investment real estate based on fair value, rather than net realizable
value as previously required. Adoption of this standard did not have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Prior Years. Effective January 1, 1993, VALIC adopted the following
accounting standards: (1) SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other than Pensions," which resulted in a one-time reduction of net
income of $573 ($868 pretax); (2) SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
which resulted in a one-time reduction of net income of $1,880; and (3) SFAS
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which resulted in a
one-time reduction of net income of $135 ($205 pretax).
Effective January 1, 1993, VALIC also adopted SFAS 113, "Accounting and
Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts," and
SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." Adoption of these
standards did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
At December 31, 1993, VALIC adopted SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This standard requires that debt
and equity securities be carried at fair value unless VALIC has the positive
intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity. Upon adoption, VALIC
reported all debt and equity securities at fair value and recorded net
unrealized gains on securities of $345,645 to shareholder's equity.
1.4 INVESTMENTS
FIXED MATURITY AND EQUITY SECURITIES. All fixed maturity and equity
securities are currently classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair
value. After adjusting related balance sheet accounts as if the unrealized
gains (losses) had been realized, the net adjustment is recorded in net
unrealized gains (losses) on securities within stockholder's equity. If the
fair value of a security classified as available-for-sale declines below its
cost and this decline is considered to be other than temporary, the security is
reduced to its net realizable value, and the reduction is recorded as a
realized loss.
MORTGAGE LOANS. Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, net of an
allowance for losses. The allowance for losses covers all non-performing loans,
consisting of loans restructured or delinquent 60 days or more. The allowance
also covers loans for which there is a concern based on management's assessment
of risk factors, such as potential non-payment or non-monetary default. The
allowance is based on a loan-specific review and a formula that reflects past
results and current trends.
Impaired loans, those for which VALIC determines that it is probable that
all amounts due under the contractual terms will not be collected, are reported
at the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the underlying collateral, less
estimated costs to sell.
POLICY LOANS. Policy loans are reported at cost and are adjusted
periodically for possible uncollectible amounts.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
December 31, 1995
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest on fixed maturity securities and performing
mortgage loans is recorded as income when earned and is adjusted for any
amortization of premium or discount. Interest on restructured mortgage loans is
recorded as income when earned based on the new contractual rate. Interest on
delinquent mortgage loans is recorded as income on a cash basis. Dividends are
recorded as income on ex-dividend dates.
REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS (LOSSES). Realized investment gains (losses) are
recognized using the specific identification method and include declines in
fair value of investments below cost that are considered other than temporary.
1.5 DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS (DPAC)
The costs of writing an insurance policy, including agents' commissions and
underwriting and marketing expenses, are deferred and included in the DPAC
asset. DPAC is charged to expense in relation to the estimated gross profits of
the insurance contracts, including realized investment gains (losses).
Gross profits include realized investment gains (losses). In addition, DPAC
is adjusted for the impact on estimated future gross profits as if net
unrealized gains (losses) on securities had been realized at the balance sheet
date. The impact of this adjustment is included in net unrealized gains
(losses) on securities within stockholder's equity.
VALIC reviews the carrying amount of DPAC on at least an annual basis. In
determining whether the carrying amount is appropriate, the company considers
estimated future gross profit margins, as well as, expected mortality, interest
earned and credited rates, persistency, and expenses.
1.6 SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate Accounts are assets and liabilities associated with certain
contracts, principally annuities for which the investment risk lies solely with
the holder of the contract rather than the company. Consequently, the insurer's
liability for these accounts equals the value of the account assets. Investment
income, realized investment gains (losses), and policyholder account deposits
and withdrawals related to Separate Accounts are excluded from the consolidated
statements of income and cash flows. Assets held in the Separate Accounts are
primarily shares in mutual funds, which are carried at fair value, based on the
quoted net asset value per share.
1.7 POLICY RESERVES
Net deposits made by fixed annuity policyholders are accumulated at interest
rates guaranteed by VALIC plus excess interest paid at the sole discretion of
the Board of Directors until benefits are payable. Reserves for deferred
annuities (accumulation phase) are equivalent to the policyholders' account
values. Reserves for annuities on which benefits are currently payable (annuity
payout phase) are provided based upon estimated mortality and other
assumptions, including provisions for the risk of adverse deviation from
assumptions, which were appropriate at the time the contracts were issued. The
Progressive Annuity Mortality Table, the 1971 Individual or Group Annuity
Mortality Tables, and the 1983a Table have been used to provide for future
annuity benefits in the annuity payout phase. Interest rates used in
determining reserves for policy benefits during both the accumulation and
annuity payout phases range from 3.5% to 13.5%.
1.8 RECOGNITION OF REVENUES AND COSTS
Premium receipts for annuity contracts are classified as deposits instead of
revenues. Revenues for these contracts consist of the mortality, expense, and
surrender charges assessed against the account balance. Gains (losses) from
mortality guarantees under variable annuity contracts are recognized as they
occur.
1.9 INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets
and liabilities, at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the
temporary differences reverse. The effect of a tax rate change is recognized in
income in the period of enactment. State income taxes are included in income
tax expense.
A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if all or some
portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease
in a valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances that
causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax
asset is included in income. A change related to fluctuations in fair value of
available-for-sale securities is included in net unrealized gains (losses) on
securities in stockholder's equity.
1.10 STATUTORY ACCOUNTING
State insurance laws prescribe accounting practices for calculating
statutory net income and equity (capital and surplus) that differ from GAAP.
Net income and stockholder's equity as determined by statutory accounting
practices at December 31 were as follows:

The carrying value of investments that produced no investment income during
1995 totaled $8,675 or .04% of total invested assets. The ultimate disposition
of these assets is not expected to have a material effect on VALIC's
consolidated results of operations and financial position.
2.2 REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS (LOSSES)
Realized investment gains (losses) were as follows:

Proceeds from sales of fixed maturity securities were $1,432,183,
$1,128,925, and $413,679 during 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Gross gains
of $15,722, $7,610, and $25,737 and gross losses of $30,518, $89,917, and
$32,878, were realized on those sales during 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
During fourth quarter 1994, AGC initiated a program to realize capital
losses for tax purposes to offset prior period capital gains. During 1995, AGC
received a tax refund of $45,944 generated by $126,285 in net capital losses
realized in fourth quarter 1994 primarily through the sale of fixed maturity
securities. In conjunction with this program, VALIC realized net capital losses
for tax purposes of $110,019 in fourth quarter 1994, primarily through the sale
of $1,186,197 of fixed maturity securities. Due to declining interest rates
during 1995, which resulted in increasing values of VALIC's fixed maturity
securities, no additional capital losses were realized under this program.
2.3 FIXED MATURITY AND EQUITY SECURITIES
VALUATION. All fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as

DIVERSIFICATION. Diversification of the geographic location and type of
property collateralizing mortgage loans reduces the concentration of credit
risk. For new loans, VALIC requires loan-to-value ratios of 75% or less, based
on management's credit assessment of the borrower. At December 31 the mortgage
loan portfolio was distributed as follows:

VALIC, combined with its Separate Accounts, is taxed as a life insurance
company. VALIC and the Separate Accounts are included in the consolidated life
insurance company tax return of AGC. VALIC participates in a tax-sharing
agreement with the other companies included in the consolidated return. Under
this agreement, tax payments are made to AGC as if the companies filed separate
tax returns and companies incurring operating losses and/or capital losses are
reimbursed for the use of these losses by the consolidated return group.

liability was $4,490. This amount was included in 1993 income tax expense.
A reconciliation between the federal income tax rate and the effective tax
rate follows:

Federal income taxes paid in 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $52,790, $122,608,
and $$59,613, respectively. State income taxes paid in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were
$2,653, $3,390 and $1,363, respectively.
5. CAPITAL STOCK
VALIC has two classes of capital stock: preferred stock ($1.00 par value
with 2 million shares authorized) that may be issued with such dividend,
liquidation, redemption, conversion, voting, and other rights as the board of
directors may determine, and common stock ($1.00 par value, 5 million shares
authorized).
VALIC is restricted by state insurance laws as to the amount it may pay as
dividends without prior approval from the Texas Department of Insurance. The
maximum dividend payout which may be made without prior approval in 1996 is
$172,402.
6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
6.1 USE OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
VALIC's objectives for using interest rate swap agreements on its investment
securities are to effectively convert specific investment securities from a
floating to a fixed-rate basis, or vice versa, and to hedge against the risk of
rising prices on anticipated investment security purchases.
VALIC's objectives for using currency swap agreements are to effectively
convert cash flows from specific investment securities denominated in foreign
currencies into U.S. dollars at specified exchange rates, and to hedge against
currency rate fluctuations on anticipated investment security purchases.
Derivative financial instruments related to investment securities, which
were not used prior to 1994, did not have a material effect on net investment
income in 1995 or 1994. VALIC is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative
financial instruments.

6.2 CREDIT AND MARKET RISK
VALIC is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties to swap agreements. The company limits this exposure by entering
into swap agreements with counterparties having high credit ratings, basing the
amount and term of agreements on these credit ratings, and regularly monitoring
the ratings.
VALIC's credit exposure on swaps is limited to the fair value of swap
agreements that are favorable to the company. VALIC does not expect any
counterparty to fail to meet its obligation; however, nonperformance would not
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
VALIC's exposure to market risk is mitigated by the offsetting effects of
changes in the value of swap agreements and of the related investment
securities.
6.3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The difference between amounts paid and received on swap agreements is
recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to investment expense or
investment income, as appropriate, over the periods covered by the agreements.
The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included in
other liabilities or assets.
The fair values of the swap agreements are recognized in the consolidated
balance sheet if they hedge investment securities carried at fair value or
anticipated investment purchases. In this event, changes in the fair value of a
swap agreement are reported in net unrealized gains (losses) on securities
included in shareholder's equity, consistent with the treatment of the related
investment security.
For swap agreements hedging anticipated investment security purchases, the
net swap settlement amount or unrealized gain or loss is deferred and included
in the measurement of the anticipated transaction when it occurs.
Any gain or loss from early termination of swap agreements is recognized in
income if the related investment security is sold. Otherwise, the gain or loss
from early termination is deferred and amortized into income over the remaining
term of the related investment security.
6.4 TERMS OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Swap agreements generally have terms of two to ten years. Average floating
rates may change significantly, thereby affecting future cash flows.
Derivative financial instruments related to investment securities at
December 31, 1995 were as follows:

Carrying amounts and fair values for certain of VALIC's financial
instruments at December 31 are presented below. Care should be exercised in
drawing conclusions based on fair value, since (1) the fair values presented do
not include the value associated with all VALIC's assets and liabilities, and
(2) the reporting of investments at fair value without a corresponding

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
values of financial instruments.
FIXED MATURITY AND EQUITY SECURITIES. Fair values of fixed maturity and
equity securities were based on quoted market prices, where available. For
investments not actively traded, fair values were estimated using values
obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of some private
placements, by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market
rate applicable to yield, credit quality, and average life of the investments.
MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE. Fair value of mortgage loans was estimated
primarily using discounted cash flows, based on contractual maturities and
discount rates that were based on U.S. Treasury rates for similar maturity
ranges, adjusted for risk, based on property type.
POLICY LOANS. Fair value of policy loans was estimated using discounted cash
flows and actuarially-determined assumptions, incorporating market rates.
INSURANCE INVESTMENT CONTRACTS. Fair value of insurance investment
contracts, which do not subject VALIC to significant risks arising from
policyholder mortality or morbidity, was estimated using cash flows discounted
at market interest rates. Care should be exercised in drawing conclusions from
the estimated fair value, since the estimates are based on assumptions
regarding future economic activity.
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES
In the ordinary course of business, VALIC is occasionally involved in
transactions with affiliated companies. Transactions involving the purchase or
disposal of securities are consummated at the market value of the security on
the date of the transaction. Transactions with affiliated companies during each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 were as follows:
Operating expenses include $21,173 in 1995, $23,138 in 1994, and $23,055 in
1993 for amounts paid to AGC or its subsidiaries primarily for rent, data
processing services, use of facilities, and investment expenses. Interest paid
on borrowings from AGC totaled $1,662 in 1995, $525 in 1994, and $430 in 1993.
On November 4, 1982, VALIC invested $11,853 in 13 1/2% Restricted
Subordinated Notes due November 4, 2002 issued by AGC. The principal amount of
the note is due November 4, 2002. Principal payments of $592 were received on
November 4, 1995, and 1994. AGC called an amount totaling $410 on November 4,
1993. VALIC recognized $1,452 in interest income during 1995, $1,532 for 1994,
and $1,591 for 1993.
On December 31, 1984, VALIC entered into a $48,929 note purchase agreement
with AGC. Under the agreement AGC issued an adjustable rate promissory note in
exchange for VALIC's holdings of AGC preferred stock, common stock, and
warrants. The principal amount of the note is due in 20 equal installment
payments commencing December 29, 1985 and concluding December 29, 2004.
Principal payments of $2,446 were received on December 29, 1995, December 31,
1994, and December 29, 1993. VALIC recognized $1,729, $1,810, and $1,875 of
interest income on the note during 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
On March 19, 1993, VALIC received a capital contribution of $40,000 from
American General Life Insurance Company (AGL).
On June 30, 1993, VALIC received a capital contribution from AGL of
furniture and equipment with a book value of $12,942 and a related deferred tax
liability of $1,096.
On February 14, 1994, VALIC acquired from AGL bonds of various issuers at a
cost of $11,268.
On February 15, 1994, VALIC acquired from AGL bonds of various issuers at a
cost of $9,900.
On September 30, 1995, VALIC received a capital contribution from AGL of
electronic data processing equipment with a book value of $1,575 and a related
tax liability of $214.
VALIC paid common stock dividends of $95,000, $26.57 per share, and $53,000,
$14.83 per share, to AGL in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
VALIC is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of
business. VALIC believes it has valid defenses in these lawsuits and is
defending the cases vigorously. VALIC also believes that the total amounts
that would ultimately have to be paid arising from these lawsuits would have no
material effect on its consolidated financial position.
All 50 states have laws requiring solvent life insurance companies to pay
assessments to state guaranty associations to protect the interests of
policyholders of insolvent life insurance companies. State guaranty fund
expense included in operating costs and expenses was $18,961, $6,300, and
$7,000, for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
The accrued liability for anticipated assessments was $20,249, $10,214, and
$13,727, at December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The 1995 liability
was estimated by VALIC using the latest information available from the National
Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Although the
amount accrued represents VALIC's best estimate of its liability, this estimate
may change in the future. Additionally, changes in state laws could decrease
the amount recoverable against future premium taxes.
10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
10.1 PENSION PLANS
VALIC participates in several employee benefit plans which together cover
substantially all of its employees. One of these plans is a defined benefit
plan. Pension benefits under this plan are based on the participant's average
monthly compensation and length of credited service. VALIC's funding policy for
this plan is to contribute annually no more than the maximum amount that can be
deducted for federal income tax purposes.

Equity and fixed maturity securities were 63% and 35%, respectively, of the
plans' assets at the plans' most recent balance sheet dates. The remaining plan
assets consisted primarily of cash equivalents and investment-related
receivables.
10.2 POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
VALIC, through American General Corporation, has life, medical, supplemental
major medical, and dental plans for certain retired employees and agents. Most
plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually to limit
employer contributions to predetermined amounts. VALIC has reserved the right
to change or eliminate these benefits at any time.
The life plans are fully insured; the retiree and medical and dental plans
are unfunded and self-insured.
The plans' combined funded status and the accrued postretirement benefit
cost included in other liabilities at December 31 were as follows:

For measurement purposes, a 11.5% annual rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered health care benefits was assumed in 1996; the rate was assumed
to decrease gradually to 6% in 2007 and remain at that level. A 1% increase in
the assumed annual rate of increase in per capita cost of health care benefits
results in a $108 increase in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
and a $15 increase in postretirement benefit expense.

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER SEPARATE ACCOUNT A
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO OUR PARTICIPANTS:
We are pleased to present the December 31, 1995 Annual Report to Contract
Owners for Separate Account A of the Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company.
A summary of the change in unit value for each fund and each product series
(Portfolio Director, Independence Plus, Group Unit Purchase and Impact) appears
on page two.
The economic climate in 1995 was positive for investors. Economic growth was
steady and inflation was well controlled. Gross Domestic Product increased
modestly in each of the three quarters that were reported and the same should
hold true for the fourth quarter. The full year GDP gain is estimated at 2.1%.
Monthly Consumer Price Index changes varied between 0.4% and zero. For the year
the CPI change is 2.5%.
In that environment the Federal Reserve Board was accommodative. From the 6%
level in February, Federal Funds were reduced by one quarter point in July and
a like amount in December. That was followed by another quarter point cut in
January. Those actions resulted in an interest rate decline of nearly 2% on the
U.S. Treasury long bond.
VALIC's domestic indexed funds provided returns ranging from 26% to 36%.
Managed domestic equity funds returned 23% to 60%. International funds earned
between 9% and 21%. Market and economic conditions were not as favorable
outside the U.S. as they were domestically.
The three bond funds gained 16% to 20%, benefitting from the decline in
interest rates.
In the Lipper Analytical rankings, all but three of VALIC's funds were in the
top half of the funds with similar objectives. Of the thirteen funds in the top
half, seven were in the top quartile.
In the Morningstar rankings, ten of VALIC's funds were in the top half and of
those six were in the top quartile. If you have any questions about your
contract or this report, we would be happy to hear from you.
Respectfully,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPARATE ACCOUNT A
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE A -- ORGANIZATION
Separate Account A (the "Separate Account"), established by The Variable
Annuity Life Insurance Company ("VALIC") on April 18, 1979, is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust. The Separate
Account is comprised of twenty-one subaccounts or "divisions." Each division,
which represents a variable investment vehicle available only through a VALIC
annuity contract, invests in one of the following mutual funds:
AMERICAN GENERAL SERIES PORTFOLIO COMPANY ("AGSPC"):
Stock Index Fund (Divisions 10A, B, C, and D),
MidCap Index Fund (Division 4),
Small Cap Index Fund (Division 14),
International Equities Fund (Division 11),
Growth Fund (Division 15),
Growth & Income Fund (Division 16),
Science & Technology Fund (Division 17),
Social Awareness Fund (Division 12),
Timed Opportunity Fund (Division 5),
Capital Conservation Fund (Divisions 1 and 7),
Government Securities Fund (Division 8),
International Government Bond Fund (Division 13), and
Money Market Fund (Divisions 2 and 6).
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND:
Dreyfus Small Cap Portfolio (Division 18)
TEMPLETON VARIABLE PRODUCTS SERIES FUND:
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund (Division 19)
Templeton International Fund (Division 20)
Divisions 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 commenced operations on July 11, 1994.
NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The assets of the Separate Account are segregated from VALIC's other
assets. The operations of the Separate Account are part of VALIC. The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.
INVESTMENT VALUATION. Investments in mutual funds (the "Funds") are valued
at the net asset (market) value per share at the close of each business day.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. Investment transactions are accounted for on the
trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the
basis of identified cost. Capital gain distributions from mutual funds are
recorded on the ex-dividend date and reinvested upon receipt.
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income from mutual funds is recorded on the
ex-dividend date and reinvested upon receipt.
ANNUITY RESERVES. Net payments made by variable annuity contract owners are
accumulated based on the performance of the investments of the Separate Account
until the date the contract owners select to commence annuity payments.
Reserves for annuities on which benefits are currently payable are provided for
based upon estimated mortality and other assumptions, including provisions for
the risk of adverse deviation from assumptions, which were appropriate at the
time the contracts were issued. The 1949 Progressive Annuity Table has been
used in the computation of annuity reserves for currently payable contracts.
Participants are able to elect investment rates between 3.0% and 6.0%, as
regulated by the applicable state laws.
NOTE C -- TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
VALIC acts as investment adviser and transfer agent to AGSPC.
The Separate Account is charged for mortality and expense risks assumed by
VALIC. The charge, based on the daily net assets of each division, is assessed
daily based on the following annual rates: for Division 10B, .85% on the first
$10,000,000, .425% on the next $90,000,000, and .21% on the excess over
$100,000,000; for Divisions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10A, 10C, 10D, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, and 17, 1.00%; and for Divisions 18, 19, and 20, 1.25%.
Pursuant to the reorganization agreement entered into on April 17, 1987,
which transferred VALIC Separate Accounts One and Two into the Separate
Account, expenses of Division 10A (formerly Separate Account One) are limited
to 1.4157% of average daily net assets, and expenses of Division 10B (formerly
Separate Account Two) are limited to the following rates based on average daily
net assets: 0.6966% on the first $25,434,267 and 0.5% on the next $74,565,733.
Accordingly, during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, VALIC reduced
expenses of Division 10B by $69,586 and $67,955, respectively.
A portion of the annual contract maintenance charge is assessed each
contract (except those relating to Divisions 10A and 10B) by VALIC on the last
day of the calendar quarter in which VALIC receives the first purchase payment,
and in quarterly installments thereafter during the accumulation period.
Maintenance charges assessed totaled $2,494,903 and $1,857,628 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, respectively.
VALIC received surrender charges of $1,299,069 and $1,233,026 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, respectively. In addition,
VALIC received $100,290 and $18,404 for the year ended December 31, 1995, in
sales load on variable annuity purchase payments for Divisions 10A and 10B,
respectively. VALIC received $124,462 and $22,329 for the year ended December
31, 1994, in sales load on variable annuity purchase payments for Divisions 10A
and 10B, respectively.

for the period from July 11, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994. These
financial statements are the responsibility of Separate Account A's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 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 confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995,
by correspondence with the transfer agent. 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 referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Separate Account A and each of
the divisions comprising Separate Account A at December 31, 1995, and the
results of their operations and changes in their net assets for each of the
periods identified above, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
