SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACTS
THE CONTRACT
The Contract may be issued to employers to fund in whole or in part deferred
compensation plans which qualify under Section 457 of the Code or to trusts to
fund retirement plans that qualify under Section 401 of the Code.
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Purchase Payments under the Contracts will be allocated to the Separate
Account. The minimum Purchase Payment is $20, with an annual minimum of $240.
There is no sales charge; however, certain charges and deductions will be made
to the Participant's Account. (See "Contract Charges," page 11.) Subject to
certain limitations as to time and amount, assets allocated to a Series may be
transferred to one or more of the other Series, either prior to starting an
Annuity or after Variable Annuity payments have begun. The minimum transfer is
the lesser of $500 or the balance of the Participant's Account in the Series.
(See "Transfers," page 13.)
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Pursuant to the Participant's election, Purchase Payments allocated to the
Separate Account are invested at net asset value in Accumulation Units of one or
more of eight Series, each of which consists of the shares of a different Fund.
The Funds consist of the Bond Series and T. Rowe Price Growth and Income Series
of Security First Trust, the Money Market Portfolio and Growth Portfolio of the
Variable Insurance Products Fund, the Asset Manager Portfolio and Index 500
Portfolio of the Variable Insurance Products Fund II, the T. Rowe Price Growth
Stock Fund and the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund. T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. is the investment adviser to the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock
Fund and the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund. Security First Investment
Management Corporation is the investment adviser and manager of each of the
series of the Security First Trust, and T. Rowe Price Associates is subadviser
to Security First Investment Management Corporation for each of these series.
Fidelity Management & Research Company is the investment adviser of the Variable
Insurance Products Fund and the Variable Insurance Products Fund II. (See "The
Separate Account," page 9 and "The Funds," page 9.)
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
An administrative fee of $9.50 plus $2.50 for each Series in which the
Participant invests will be charged annually. (See "Administrative Fees," page
12.)
A transaction charge of $10 will be deducted from the Participant's Account
for each transfer from a Series. In addition, a transaction charge of the lesser
of $10 or 2% of the amount surrendered will be deducted from the Participant's
Account upon any surrender. (See "Transaction Charges," page 12.)
Deductions will be made for mortality and expense risks at the rate of
.002438% on a daily basis (.89% annually). (See "Mortality and Expense Risk
Charges," page 12.)
A surrender charge (contingent deferred sales charge) may be deducted in the
event a Participant requests a full or partial surrender. The surrender charge
equals 5% of the amount surrendered, plus the transaction fee, if the surrender
occurs within the first six Certificate Years; thereafter, no surrender charge
will be deducted. In addition, no surrender charge will be imposed in the event
of a surrender as a result of death, disability, retirement or hardship under
the terms of the Plan. Surrender charges will never exceed 9% of the total
Purchase Payments. No surrender charge will be deducted from any amount
transferred to another group annuity contract issued by Security First Life to
the Plan to which the Contract is issued. (See "Surrender Charges," page 11.)
Premium taxes payable to any state or other governmental agency may be
deducted from the Participant's Account when incurred. Premium taxes currently
range from 0% to 2.35% (3.5% in Nevada). Until further notice, Security First
Life will deduct premium taxes upon annuitization. (See "Premium Taxes," page
11.)

<PAGE> 8
FREE LOOK PERIOD
At any time within twenty days (or such longer period as required by state
law) after the receipt of the Contract it may be returned for cancellation and a
full refund of all Purchase Payments or, if required by state law, the greater
of the Purchase Payments or the account value. (See "Free Look Period," page
12).
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Annuity payments will start on the Annuity Date. The Participant selects the
Annuity Date, an Annuity payment option, and an Assumed Investment Return. Any
of these selections may be changed prior to the Annuity Date, provided that
Annuity payments must commence no later than the Normal Annuity Date. Annuity
payments will vary annually based on a comparison of the Assumed Investment
Return with the investment experience of the Series in which the Participant's
Account is invested. (See "Annuity Payments," page 14.) If Annuity payments from
any one Series would be less than $50, Security First Life reserves the right to
change the frequency of payments to such intervals as will result in payments of
at least $50 from each Series. (See "Frequency of Payment," page 16.)
SURRENDERS
All or part of the Participant's Account may be surrendered prior to the
Annuity Date. However, no partial surrender is permitted if it would reduce the
Owner's interest in any Series to less than $500, unless the entire amount
allocated to that Series is being surrendered. A surrender charge may be
assessed, and a transaction charge will be assessed. (See "Surrender Charges,"
page 11 and "Transaction Charges," page 12.) In addition, amounts surrendered,
less any basis, will be taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to a penalty
tax under the Code. Certain restrictions are applicable to withdrawals from
Contracts funding retirement plans qualified for special tax treatment under the
Code. (See "Federal Income Tax Status," page 17.)
DEATH BENEFIT
Unless otherwise restricted by the Plan, in the event of the Participant's
death prior to the Annuity Date, the Beneficiary may elect either to receive
death benefits in a lump sum or to apply the Participant's Account under any of
the available optional Annuity forms contained in the Contract. If a Participant
who has not attained age 65 dies before the Annuity Date, the amount of any lump
sum settlement will be the greater of the Participant's Account or the total of
the Participant's Purchase Payments, less any Purchase Payments previously
surrendered or applied to Annuity options. (See "Death Benefits," page 17.)

EXPLANATION OF FEE TABLE AND EXAMPLES
1. The purpose of the foregoing tables and examples is to assist the Participant
in understanding the various costs and expenses that he or she will bear
directly or indirectly. The table reflects expenses of the Separate Account
as well as the underlying Funds. For additional information see "Contract
Charges," beginning on page 11.
2. The investment adviser to the Index 500 Portfolio voluntarily reimbursed
certain expenses of the Portfolio. If there had been no reimbursement, total
expenses would have been 0.43% (see the Variable Insurance Products Fund II
prospectus for more information).
3. The examples assume that there were no transactions that would result in the
imposition of the Conversion Charge. Premium taxes are not reflected.
Presently, premium taxes ranging from 0% to 2.35% (3.5% in Nevada) may be
deducted from each Purchase Payment, or upon annuitization. Until further
notice, Security First Life will deduct premium tax only from amounts
annuitized.
4. For purposes of the amounts reported in the examples, annual administrative
charges are reflected by dividing the total amount of contract fees collected
during the year by the total average net assets of the Separate Account
respecting the Contracts.
5. NEITHER THE TABLE NOR THE EXAMPLES ARE REPRESENTATIONS OF FUTURE EXPENSES.
ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITY FIRST LIFE,
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS
THE INSURANCE COMPANY
Security First Life is a stock life insurance company founded in 1960 and
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its principal executive
offices are located at 11365 West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles, California
90064. Security First Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security First Group,
Inc. ("SFG"). The outstanding voting stock of SFG is owned by London Insurance
Group, Inc., a Canadian insurance service corporation and publicly traded
subsidiary of Trilon Financial Corporation of Toronto, Canada. Trilon Financial
controls several major Canadian corporations including London Life Insurance
Company. Security First Life is authorized to transact the business of life
insurance, including annuities. Security First Life presently is licensed to do
business in 49 states and the District of Columbia.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account was established by Security First Life on May 29, 1980,
in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Insurance Code. It is
registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act.
Registration with the SEC does not involve supervision by the SEC of the
management or investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or
Security First Life.
The Separate Account and each Series therein are administered and accounted
for as part of the general business of Security First Life, but the income and
realized capital gains or losses of each Series are credited to or charged
against the assets held for that Series in accordance with the terms of the
Contract. This is done without regard to the income, realized capital gains or
losses of any other Series or the experience of Security First Life in any other
business it may conduct. The assets of each of these Series are not chargeable
with the liabilities of any other Series, or liabilities arising out of any
other business Security First Life may conduct.
The obligations under the Contract, including the guarantee to make Annuity
payments, are general corporate obligations of Security First Life, and all of
Security First Life's assets are available to meet its expenses and obligations
to make the Variable Annuity payments. However, while Security First Life is
obligated to make the Variable Annuity payments under the Contract, the amount
of such payments is guaranteed only to the extent of the level amount calculated
as of the anniversary of the Annuity Date. (See "Level Payments Varying
Annually," page 15.)
The Separate Account is divided into a number of series of Accumulation and
Annuity Units, eight of which are available under the Contracts, and each Series
invests in the shares of only one of the Funds. The Funds consist of the Bond
Series and the T. Rowe Price Growth and Income Series of the Security First
Trust, the Money Market Portfolio and Growth Portfolio of the Variable Insurance
Products Fund, the Asset Manager Portfolio and Index 500 Portfolio of the
Variable Insurance Products Fund II, the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund and the
T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund. The shares of each Fund are purchased,
without sales charge, for the corresponding Series at the net asset value per
share next determined following receipt of the applicable payment. Any dividend
or capital gain distributions received from a Fund are reinvested in Fund shares
which are retained as assets of the applicable Series. Fund shares will be
redeemed without fee to the Series to the extent necessary for Security First
Life to make Annuity or other payments under the Contract.
If shares of any Fund should no longer be available for investment by a
Series, or, if in the judgment of Security First Life's management further
investment in shares of any Fund becomes inappropriate in view of the purposes
of the Contracts, Security First Life may substitute for each Fund share already
purchased, and apply future Purchase Payments under the Contracts to the
purchase of shares of another Fund or other securities. No substitution of
securities of any Series may take place, however, without a prior favorable vote
of contractholders with a majority of units invested in the Series and the prior
approval of the SEC.
THE FUNDS
Each of the Funds is an open-end management investment company, or series
thereof, registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. Such registration does not
involve supervision by the SEC of the investments or investment policies of the
Funds. There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of the Funds
will be achieved.

The Security First Trust is a Massachusetts business trust which has a
number of series, two of which are available under the Contracts:
Bond Series seeks to achieve the highest investment income over the
long-term consistent with the preservation of principal through investment
primarily in marketable debt instruments. Growth of principal and income will
also be objectives with respect to up to 10% of the Bond Series' assets which
may be invested in common and preferred stocks.
T. Rowe Price Growth and Income Series seeks capital growth and a reasonable
level of current income. While this series will generally invest in common
stocks and other equities, it may, depending on economic conditions, reduce such
investments and substitute fixed-income instruments.
Variable Insurance Products Fund and Variable Insurance Products Fund II are
Massachusetts business trusts. Each is divided into separate portfolios. The
following portfolios from these trusts are available under the Contracts:
Money Market Portfolio seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as
is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity. The portfolio
will invest only in high quality U.S. dollar denominated money market securities
of domestic and foreign issuers.
Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve capital appreciation normally through the
purchase of common stocks (although the portfolio's investments are not
restricted to any one type of security). Capital appreciation may also be found
in other types of securities, including bonds and preferred stocks.
Asset Manager Portfolio seeks high total return with reduced risk over the
long-term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds and short-term, fixed
income instruments.
Index 500 Portfolio seeks investment results that correspond to the total
return (i.e., the combination of capital changes and income) of common stocks
publicly traded in the United States, as represented by the Standard & Poor's
500 Composite Stock Price Index while keeping transaction costs and other
expenses low.
T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through
investing primarily in common stocks of growth companies.
T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund seeks total return on its assets from
long-term growth of capital and income, principally through investments in
common stocks of established non-U.S. companies. Investments may be made solely
for capital appreciation or solely for income or any combination of both for the
purpose of achieving a higher overall return.
The investment adviser and manager to each of the series of the Security
First Trust is Security First Investment Management Corporation ("Security
Management"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFG and an affiliate of Security
First Life and Security First Financial, Inc., (See "Principal Underwriter,"
page 11.) T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("Price Associates") is the sub-adviser
to Security Management and provides investment advice with respect to each of
the series of Security First Trust offered under the Contracts. Fidelity
Management & Research Company is the investment adviser of each of the
portfolios of the Variable Insurance Products Fund and the Variable Insurance
Products Fund II. Price Associates is the investment adviser to the T. Rowe
Price Growth Stock Fund, and Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. is the
investment adviser to the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund.
Funds are available to registered separate accounts offering variable
annuity and variable life products of participating insurance companies and
entities permitted under Section 817(h) of the Code (except for the T. Rowe
Price Growth Stock Fund and T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund). Although it
is not anticipated that any disadvantage will result, there is a possibility
that a material conflict may arise between the interest of the Separate Account
and one or more of the other separate accounts participating in the Funds. A
conflict may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable
life and variable annuity separate accounts, differences in the voting
instructions of our Owners and those of other companies, or some other reason.
In the event of a conflict, the Separate Account will take any steps necessary
to protect Owners and variable annuity payees, which may include withdrawal of
amounts invested in the Fund by the Separate Account.
The rights of Owners, Participants or Beneficiaries to instruct Security
First Life on voting of shares of the Funds are described under "Voting Rights,"
page 18.
Detailed information about the Funds, their investment objectives,
investment portfolios and charges may be found in the prospectuses of the Funds.
An investor should carefully read the Funds' prospectuses before investing.
Prospectuses for the underlying Funds may be obtained without charge by written
request addressed to: Security First Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 92193, Los
Angeles, California 90009.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
Security First Financial, Inc., 11365 West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles,
California 90064, a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., is
the principal underwriter for the Contracts. Security First Financial, Inc., is
a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of SFG.
SERVICING AGENT
Security First Life receives certain administrative services such as office
space, supplies, utilities, office equipment, travel expenses and periodic
reports pursuant to an agreement with SFG.
CUSTODY OF SECURITIES
All assets of the Separate Account are held in the custody of Security First
Life. The assets of each Series will be kept physically segregated by Security
First Life and held separate from the assets of the other Series and of any
other firm, person, or corporation. Additional protection for the assets of the
Separate Account is afforded by fidelity bonds covering all of Security First
Life's officers and employees.
CONTRACT CHARGES
Security First Life represents that the charges deducted under the Contract,
described below, are, in the aggregate, reasonable in relation to the services
rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed by Security
First Life.
Charges under the Contract are assessed for the following: (i) premium
taxes; (ii) surrenders, part of which may be deemed to be a sales charge; (iii)
annual administrative charges; (iv) transaction fees; and (v) daily deduction
for the assumption of mortality and expense risks. These risk charges may not be
changed under the Contract, and Security First Life may derive a profit from
them.
A Participant should note that there are deductions from and expenses paid
out of the assets of the Funds that are described in the prospectuses for the
Funds.
PREMIUM TAXES
Certain state and government entities impose a premium tax of up to 2.35%
(3.5% in Nevada) of Purchase Payments or amounts applied to an Annuity option.
The Contract permits Security First Life to deduct any applicable premium taxes
from the Participant's Account at the time they are incurred. Until further
notice, Security First Life will deduct any premium tax only from amounts
applied to an Annuity option.
SURRENDER CHARGES
No sales charge is deducted from any Purchase Payment. However, a surrender
charge (contingent deferred sales charge) may be imposed upon a partial or full
surrender of the Participant's Account. The surrender charge covers expenses
relating to the sale of the Contracts, including commissions paid to sales
personnel and other promotional costs.
Partial or full surrenders of a Participant's Account on or before the sixth
anniversary of the Certificate Date will be subject to a surrender charge equal
to 5% of the amount of the surrender, plus any transaction fee. Any full or
partial surrender after the sixth anniversary of the Certificate Date will not
be subject to a surrender charge, and no surrender charge will be imposed in the
event of a surrender as a result of death, disability, retirement or hardship
under the terms of the Plan. In no event will surrender charges imposed exceed
9% of Purchase Payments. In addition, no surrender charge will be deducted from
any amount transferred to another group annuity contract issued by Security
First Life to the Owner in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Notwithstanding the above, should a Participant have an existing annuity
account with Security First Life under a group annuity contract issued to the
Owner in accordance with the terms of the Plan and should the date of issuance
of a certificate under such other annuity precede the Certificate Date (the
"Alternate Certificate Date"), then the Certificate Date used in the
determination of surrender charges under the Contract will be the Alternate
Certificate Date.
11
<PAGE> 15
ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
At the end of each Certificate Year, Security First Life will deduct an
administrative fee of up to $9.50 plus an amount up to $2.50 for each Series in
which the Participant's Account is invested. As a result, these charges can
range from $12.00 to $29.50. The fee will be prorated among Series in the
Participant's Account. Administrative expenses include the cost of policy
issuance, salaries, postage, telephone, travel expenses, legal, administrative,
actuarial, management and accounting fees, periodic reports, office equipment,
stationery, office space and custodial expenses.
TRANSACTION CHARGES
A transaction charge of up to $10 may be deducted from the Participant's
Account for each allowable transfer from a Series. (See "Transfers," page 13.)
Similarly, in the case of a surrender, a transaction charge may be deducted from
the Participant's Account in an amount up to the lesser of a $10 or 2% of the
amount surrendered. These charges are at cost, and Security First Life does not
anticipate profiting from them.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES
The minimum death benefit provided for by the Contract requires Security
First Life to assume a mortality risk that the Participant's Account will be
less than the Participant's Purchase Payments adjusted for prior surrenders
and/or amounts applied to Annuity options. (See "Death Before the Annuity Date,"
page 17.) Further, because the Contract provides life Annuity options, Security
First Life assumes a mortality risk that the death rate of Participants as a
group will be lower than the death rate upon which the mortality tables
specified in the Contract are based. In addition, Security First Life assumes
the risk that the amount, if any, deducted for administrative fees will be
insufficient to cover its actual costs. As compensation for assuming these
risks, Security First Life will make a deduction of .002438% on a daily basis
(.89% per year) from the value of the Separate Account assets funding the
Contract.
If Security First Life has gains from mortality and expense risk charges
over its costs of assuming these risks, it may use the gains in its discretion,
including reduction of expenses incurred distributing the Contracts.
FREE LOOK PERIOD
The Contract provides for an initial "Free Look" period. The Owner has the
right to return the Contract within 20 days (or such longer period as required
by state law) after the Owner receives the Contract by delivering or mailing it
to Security First Life at its administrative office. If the Contract is mailed,
it will be deemed mailed on the date of the postmark or, if sent by certified or
registered mail, the date of certification or registration. The returned
Contract will be treated as if the Company never issued it, and the Company will
refund the Purchase Payments or, if required by state law, the greater of the
Purchase Payments or the account value.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
GENERAL
The Contract described in this prospectus is designed to provide Variable
Annuity benefits to employers to fund in whole or in part deferred compensation
plans which qualify under the provisions of Section 457 of the Code or to trusts
to fund retirement plans that qualify under Section 401 of the Code.
A group contract is issued to an employer or to a trust of a plan which will
be the Owner, covering all present and future Participants. Each Participant
completes an enrollment form and arranges for Purchase Payments to begin. No
certificates are issued to Participants under a deferred compensation or
qualified retirement plan since all ownership rights in the Contract are held by
the employer or the Plan trust. The Contract may be restricted by the governing
instrument of a Plan as to the exercise by the Participant of his or her rights
under the Contract. Participants and Owners should refer to the Plan for
information concerning these restrictions.
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Purchase Payments may be made at any time. The minimum Purchase Payment is
$20, and Purchase Payments must total at least $240 a year. Purchase Payments
will be allocated to one or more Series of the Separate Account in accordance
with the election of the Participant.
12
<PAGE> 16
TRANSFERS
Accumulation Units may be transferred among the Series of the Separate
Account at any time. Transfer instructions may be communicated in writing or, if
permitted by Security First Life, by telephone. If telephone transfers of
Accumulation Units are permitted, the Participant will be required to complete
an authorization in a form provided by Security First Life. Security First Life
will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are
genuine (including requiring one or more forms of personal identification), and
Security First Life will not be liable for following instructions it reasonably
believes to be genuine.
Accumulation Units will be transferred on the first Valuation Date after
receipt of written or telephone instructions. Because Accumulation Unit values
are determined at the time of the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (currently 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time), transfers received after that time
will be effected as of the next Valuation Date.
Annuity Units may be transferred among the Series of the Separate Account at
any time. Transfers of Annuity Units may only be elected in writing and will be
effective on the first Valuation Date following receipt of the instructions.
A minimum of $500 or the value of the Series must be transferred from one
Series to one or more of the other Series.
TRANSFERS TO ANOTHER CONTRACT
Participants may transfer the annuity value of the Participant's Account to
another group annuity contract issued by the Company to the group contract
holder with respect to the Plan. The minimum transfer is the lesser of $500 or
the value of the Participant's interest in the Series from which the transfer is
made. A transaction charge of $10 will be deducted from the amount transferred.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
The Contract guarantees that Annuity payments involving life contingencies
will be based on the minimum guaranteed Annuity purchase rates incorporated in
the Contract, regardless of actual mortality experience. The Contract also
includes provisions legally binding on Security First Life with respect to
surrenders, death benefits and maximum charges, fees and deductions from a
Participant's Account. Security First Life may only change such provisions to
the extent permitted by the Contract: (i) with respect to any Purchase Payments
received as a tax free exchange under the Code after the effected date of
change; (ii) with respect to benefits and values provided by Purchase Payments
made after the effective date of the change to the extent that such Purchase
Payments in any Contract Year exceed the first year's Purchase Payments; or
(iii) to the extent necessary to conform the Contract to any federal or state
law, regulation or ruling.
A Contract may also be modified by written agreement between Security First
Life and the Owner.
Inquiries about Contract provisions should be made in writing to: Security
First Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 92193, Los Angeles, California 90009.
ASSIGNMENTS
The Contract permits a Participant to assign his or her rights under it.
However, deferred compensation plans which conform to the requirements under
Section 457 of the Code do not permit Participants to have any direct rights in
the Contract, and the Code provides that interests in a qualified retirement
plan under Section 401 (excluding government plans) must be non-transferrable
and non-assignable.
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
CREDITING ACCUMULATION UNITS
Accumulation Units are credited to a Series upon receipt of each Purchase
Payment or upon transfer. The number of Accumulation Units to be credited is
determined by dividing the net amount allocated to a Series by the value of an
Accumulation Unit in the Series next computed following receipt of the payment
or transfer.
13
<PAGE> 17
VALUATION OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
The current value of Accumulation Units of a Series varies with the
investment experience of the Fund in which the assets of the Series are
invested. Such value is determined each business day at the close of trading on
the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time) by multiplying
the value of an Accumulation Unit in the Series on the immediately preceding
Valuation Date by the net investment factor for the period since that day. (See
"Net Investment Factor," below.) The Participant bears the investment risk that
the current value of Accumulation Units invested in a Series may, at any time,
be less than amounts originally allocated to the Series.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor is an index of the percentage change (adjusted for
distributions by the Fund and the deduction of the mortality and expense risk
fees) in the net asset value of the Fund in which a Series is invested since the
preceding Valuation Date. The net investment factor may be greater or less than
one, depending upon the Fund's investment performance.
SURRENDERS
To the extent permitted by the Plan, a Participant may surrender all or a
portion of his or her cash value at any time prior to the Annuity Date. A
surrender may result in adverse federal income tax consequences to a Participant
including current taxation of the distribution and a penalty tax on a premature
distribution. (See "Federal Income Tax Status," page 17.) A Participant should
consult his or her tax adviser before requesting a surrender.
The cash value of a Participant's interest in the Separate Account prior to
the Annuity Date may be determined at any time by multiplying the number of
Accumulation Units for each Series credited to the Contract by the current value
of an Accumulation Unit in the Series and subtracting the surrender charges, if
any, and the transaction charges. Upon receipt of a written request for a full
or partial surrender, Security First Life will calculate the surrender using the
Accumulation Unit value next computed after receipt of such request.
A request for a partial surrender from more than one Series must specify the
allocation of the partial surrender among the Series. No partial withdrawal may
be made that would cause a Participant's interest in any Series to have a value
after the surrender of less than $500, unless the entire amount allocated to
such Series is being surrendered.
Payment of any amount surrendered from the Series will be made within seven
days of the date the written request is received by Security First Life.
Surrenders may be suspended when: (i) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted by the SEC or such Exchange is closed for other than weekends or
holidays; (ii) the SEC has by order permitted such suspension; or (iii) an
emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposal of portfolio
securities or valuation of assets of the Funds not reasonably practicable.
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT
Prior to the Annuity Date, each Participant will be provided with a written
statement of account each calendar quarter in which a transaction occurs. In no
event will a statement of account be provided less often than once annually. The
statement of account will show all transactions for the period being reported.
It will also show the number of Accumulation Units of each Series in the
Participant's Account, the current Accumulation Unit Value for each series, and
the value of the Participant's Account as of the end of the reporting period.
Although care is taken to ensure the accuracy of allocations and transfers
to and within the Separate Account, the possibility of an error still exists.
Owners are asked to review their statements and confirmations of transactions
carefully and to promptly advise Security First Life of any discrepancy.
Allocations and transfers reflected in the statements will be considered final
at the end of 60 days from the date of the statement.
ANNUITY BENEFITS
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Unless otherwise elected by the Participant, the Participant's interest in
the Separate Account will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity. The dollar
amount of Variable Annuity payments will reflect the investment experience of
the Series in which Annuity Units are held but will not be affected by adverse
mortality experience which may exceed the mortality risk charge provided for
under the Contract.
14
<PAGE> 18
LEVEL PAYMENTS VARYING ANNUALLY
Under the Contract, Variable Annuity payments are determined annually rather
than monthly so that Annuity payments, uniform in amount, are made monthly
during each Annuity year. The level of payments for each year is based on the
investment performance of the Series up to the Valuation Date as of which the
payments are determined for the year. Thus, amounts of the Annuity payments vary
with the investment performance of the Series from year to year rather than from
month to month.
The monthly Variable Annuity payments for the first year will be determined
on the last Valuation Date of the second calendar week preceding the Annuity
Date by using a formula described in the Contract. On each anniversary of the
Annuity Date, Security First Life will determine the amount of monthly payments
for the year then beginning. This is determined by multiplying the number of
Annuity Units in each Series from which payments are to be made by the Annuity
Unit value of that Series for the Valuation Period in which the first payment
for that year is due.
The amount of the year's Variable Annuity payments is transferred to the
General Account of Security First Life at the beginning of the Annuity year.
Although an amount in the Separate Account is credited to an Annuitant and
transferred to the General Account to make Annuity payments, it should not be
inferred that the Annuitant has any property rights in this amount. The
Annuitant has only a contractual right to Annuity payments from the amount
credited to him or her in the Separate Account.
The monthly Annuity payments are made from the General Account with interest
credited using the Assumed Investment Return of 4.25% or the alternative Assumed
Investment Return selected by the Participant. Security First Life will
experience profit or loss on the amounts placed in the General Account to
provide level monthly payments during the year to the extent that net investment
income and gains in the General Account exceed or are lower than the Assumed
Investment Return.
Because the Annuity payments for the year are set at the beginning of the
year, the Annuitant will not benefit from increases in Annuity Unit values
during the year and likewise will not be at risk for decreases during the year.
However, such increases and decreases will be reflected in the calculation of
Annuity payments for the subsequent year.
ASSUMED INVESTMENT RETURN
Variable Annuity payments will vary from payments based on the Assumed
Investment Return depending on whether the investment experience of the Separate
Account Series is better or worse than the Assumed Investment Return. The choice
of the Assumed Investment Return affects the pattern of annuity payments. Over a
period of time, if the Separate Account achieves a net investment result equal
to the Assumed Investment Return applicable to a particular option, Annuity
payments would be level. However, if the Separate Account achieves a net
investment result greater than the Assumed Investment Return, the amount of
Annuity payments would increase each year. Similarly, if the Separate Account
achieves a net investment result less than the Assumed Investment Return, the
amount of the Annuity payments would decrease each year.
Although a higher initial payment would be received under a higher Assumed
Investment Return, there is a point in time after which payments under a lower
Assumed Investment Return would be greater, assuming payments continue through
that point in time. The effect of a higher or lower Assumed Investment Return
can be summarized as follows: a higher Assumed Investment Return will result in
a larger initial payment but more slowly rising or more rapidly falling
subsequent payments than a lower Assumed Investment Return.
Unless otherwise elected, the Assumed Investment Return will be 4.25% per
annum. To the extent permitted by state law and regulations, Security First Life
will permit an election of an Assumed Investment Return of 3.50%, 5% or 6%. It
should not be inferred, however, that such returns will bear any relationship to
the actual net investment experience of the Series.
ELECTION OF ANNUITY DATE AND FORM OF ANNUITY
The Annuity Date and the form of Annuity payment are elected by the
Participant. Unless an earlier date is elected by the Participant in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan, Annuity payments must commence no later than
the Normal Annuity Date. An optional Annuity Date of the first day of any month
prior to the Normal Annuity Date may be elected, provided that the election must
be made at least 31 days before the optional Annuity Date.
The normal form of Annuity payment under the Contract is Option 2, a life
Annuity with 120 monthly payments certain. Unless elected otherwise, Option 2
will be automatically applied. Changes in the form of Annuity Payment may be
made at any time up to 31 days prior to the date on which Annuity payments are
to begin. Options 1 through 4 may
15
<PAGE> 19
be elected as either Variable Annuities or Fixed Annuities; Option 5 may only be
elected as a Fixed Annuity. The first year's Annuity payments described in
Options 1 through 4 are determined on the basis of (i) the mortality table
specified in the Contract, (ii) the age of the Participant, (iii) the type of
Annuity payment option(s) selected, and (iv) the Assumed Investment Return
selected. Fixed Annuity payments described in Option 5 are determined on the
basis of (i) the number of years in the payment period and (ii) the interest
rate guaranteed with respect to the option.
The United States Supreme Court in its decision entitled Arizona Governing
Committee for Tax Deferred Annuity and Deferred Compensation Plans v. Norris
determined that an employer subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
may not offer to its employees the option of receiving retirement benefits
calculated on the basis of sex. The Company will issue contracts which comply
with the Norris decision and state law.
OPTION 1--LIFE ANNUITY
An Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an individual, ceasing
with the last payment due prior to the death of an individual. This option
offers the maximum level of monthly payments since there is no guarantee of a
minimum number of payments or of death benefits for Beneficiaries.
OPTION 2--120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN
An Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an individual with a
guaranteed minimum number of monthly payments not less than 120, 180, or 240
months, as elected. If at the death of the individual the specified number of
payments have not been made, Annuity payments will be continued during the
remainder of such period to the designated Beneficiary.
OPTION 3 -- INSTALLMENT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
An Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an individual with a
guaranteed minimum number of monthly payments equal to the amount applied under
this option divided by the first monthly payment. Any payment made to the
designated Beneficiary after death of the individual will stop when Security
First Life has paid out a total number of payments equal to the minimum number
of payments.
OPTION 4 -- JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
An Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of two individuals and
thereafter during the lifetime of the survivor, ceasing with the last payment
due prior to the death of the survivor.
OPTION 5 -- DESIGNATED PERIOD ANNUITY -- FIXED DOLLAR ONLY
A fixed dollar Annuity payable monthly for a specified number of years from
5 to 30. The amount of each payment will be based on an interest rate determined
by Security First Life, that will not be less than 3.50% per annum. Fixed
Annuity payments under this option are made from the General Account and may not
be commuted to a lump sum, except as provided under "Death Benefits," below.
FREQUENCY OF PAYMENT
Payments under all options will be made on a monthly basis, unless
quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments are requested by the Participant in
accordance with the Plan. If at any time any Variable Annuity payments under any
Series or Fixed Annuity payments are or become less than $50, Security First
Life shall have the right to decrease the frequency of payments to such interval
as will result in a payment of at least $50 from each Series or under the Fixed
Annuity.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUES
The value of an Annuity Unit at a Valuation Date is determined by
multiplying the value of the Annuity Unit at the preceding Valuation Date by an
"Annuity Change Factor." The Annuity Change Factor is determined by dividing the
value of the Accumulation Unit at the Valuation Date by the value of the
Accumulation Unit at the preceding Valuation Date and multiplying the result by
a neutralization factor.
The neutralization factor is determined by dividing 1 by the weekly
equivalent of the Assumed Investment Return previously selected by the
Annuitant. For example, the neutralization factor for the Assumed Investment
Return of 4.25% is 0.9991999.
The number of Annuity Units for a Series is determined by dividing the
monthly Annuity payment for the first year by that Series' Annuity Unit value on
the same date as the first year's Annuity payments are calculated. The number of
Annuity Units will not change unless the Participant transfers Annuity Units to
or from other Series.

DEATH BENEFITS
DEATH BENEFIT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
If a Participant dies before the Annuity Date, the Participant's Account
will be applied in accordance with the terms set forth below unless otherwise
provided in the Plan.
1. If the Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, the spouse may elect to
receive Annuity options 1, 2 or 5 or to treat the Certificate as his or
her own. Payments under the Annuity options must begin prior to the date
on which the deceased Participant would have attained 70 1/2. Plan under,
and in the case of a Section 457 plan, the period chosen must be less
than the spouse's remaining life expectancy.
2. If the Beneficiary is not the Participant's spouse, the Beneficiary may
elect to receive a lump sum settlement or Annuity income under Annuity
income options 1, 2, or 5. (See "Election of Annuity Date and Form of
Annuity," page 15.) The lump sum settlement must be made within 5 years
of the Participant's death. Annuity payments must begin within one year
of the Participant's death. The guaranteed payment under Option 2 and the
designated period under Option 5 may not be longer than the Beneficiary's
life expectancy as specified by the Internal Revenue Service tables.
If a Participant who has not attained age 65 dies before the Annuity Date,
the amount of any lump sum settlement will be the greater of the Participant's
Account or the total of the Participant's Purchase Payments reduced by any
Purchase Payments previously surrendered or applied to an Annuity income option.
If a Participant who has attained age 65 dies before the Annuity Date, only the
normal lump sum settlement will be paid.
DEATH BENEFIT AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
If the Annuitant under a Contract dies on or after the Annuity Date, the
remaining portion of his or her interest will be distributed to the Beneficiary
at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used at the date
of the Annuitant's death. If no designated Beneficiary survives the Annuitant,
the present value of any remaining payments certain on the date of death of the
Annuitant, calculated on the basis of the Assumed Investment Return previously
elected, may be paid in one sum to the estate of the Annuitant unless other
provisions have been made and approved by Security First Life. This value is
calculated as of the date of payment following receipt of due proof of death.
Unless otherwise restricted, a Beneficiary receiving Variable payments under
Option 2 or 3 after the death of an Annuitant may elect at any time to receive
the present value of the remaining number of Annuity payments certain in a
single payment, calculated on the basis of the Assumed Investment Return
previously selected. However, such election is not available to a Beneficiary
receiving Fixed Annuity payments.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The operations of the Separate Account form part of the operation of
Security First Life. Under the Code as it is now written no federal income tax
will be payable by Security First Life on the investment income and capital
gains of the Separate Account. Moreover, as long as the Separate Account meets
the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code, or the
requirements of Section 457 of the Code in the case of a Section 457 plan, no
federal income tax is payable by the Participant on the investment income and
capital gains in a Participant's Account until Annuity payments commence or a
full or partial surrender is made. It is intended that the Separate Account will
continue to meet the requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code.
Under a Section 401 pension plan, surrenders may be made only in the event
of death, disability, separation from service, or attainment of normal
retirement age. In the case of a Section 457 deferred compensation plan,
benefits are not permitted to be made available earlier than when the employee
attains age 70 1/2, separates from service or is faced with an unforeseeable
emergency. All surrenders made prior to age 59 1/2 that are not a result of
death, disability, qualified domestic relations order, deductible medical
expense or received as a series of substantially equal payments made for the
life of the Participant or the joint lives of the Participant and the
Participant's Beneficiary will be subject to an additional 10% tax, provided
that no such additional tax will be payable with respect to distributions from a
Section 457 Plan.
In the case of Section 401, 403(b) and 457 plans, the Participant's Account
must be distributed, or Annuity payments for life or a period not exceeding the
life expectancy of the Participant or the Participant and a designated
Beneficiary must commence by April 1 of the later of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the employee attains age 70 1/2 (or retires in the
case of government plans).
Providing certain requirements of the Code are met, distributions, other
than required distributions, from a plan may be rolled over tax-free to another
plan. Distributions from a Section 401 plan must be rolled over to a Section 401
defined contribution plan, a Section 403(a) annuity or an individual retirement
account or annuity ("IRA"). A
17
<PAGE> 21
participant in a Section 457 plan can only transfer all or a portion of the
value of his account to another eligible Section 457 plan.
All distributions, with the exception of a return of non-deductible employee
contributions, received from a Section 401 or 457 plan are included in gross
income. In the case of Section 401 the distribution is includable in the year
paid; under 457 plans, a distribution is includable in the year it is paid or
when made available. A lump sum distribution from a Section 401 plan may qualify
for special forward income averaging. In very limited situations, the
distribution may qualify for long term capital gains treatment.
Distributions under Sections 401 and 457 plans must also meet the minimum
incidental death benefit requirements of the Code. This rule does not apply in
the case of Section 401 plan Participants when the Participant's spouse is the
designated Beneficiary.
Any non-deductible employee contribution will be received tax-free as a
portion of each Annuity payment.
Employers may deduct their contributions to self-employed and corporate
pension and profit-sharing plans described in Section 401 of the Code in the
year when made, up to the limits specified in the Code. In addition, these plans
may permit non-deductible employee contributions.
WITHHOLDING
Amounts distributed under Section 457 plans are considered compensation and
are subject to the employer's withholding and reporting requirements.
Distribution from a Section 401 plan are subject to withholding and reporting by
the trustee of the plan.
The trustee is required to withhold 20% of certain taxable amounts
constituting "eligible rollover distributions" to participants (including lump
sum distributions) in retirement plans under Code Section 401. This withholding
requirement does not apply to distributions from such plans and annuities in the
form of a life and life expectancy annuity (individual or joint), an annuity
with a designated period of 10 years or more, or any distribution required by
the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9). Withholding on
these latter types of distribution will continue to be made under the rules
described in the prior paragraph. A participant cannot elect out of the 20%
withholding requirement. However, if an eligible rollover distribution is rolled
over into an eligible retirement plan or IRA in a direct trustee-to-trustee
transfer, no withholding will be required.
VOTING RIGHTS
Unless otherwise restricted by the plan, each Participant has the right to
instruct Security First Life with respect to voting the Fund shares underlying
his interest in the Separate Account, at all regular and special shareholders'
meetings. Security First Life will mail to each Participant, at his or her last
known address, all periodic reports and proxy materials of the applicable Fund
and a form with which to give voting instructions. Fund shares as to which no
timely instructions are received will be voted by Security First Life in
proportion to the instructions received from all Participants giving timely
instructions. Security First Life is under no duty to inquire as to the
instructions received or the authority of persons to instruct the voting of the
Fund shares, and unless Security First Life has actual knowledge to the
contrary, the instructions given it will be valid as they affect Security First
Life or the Funds.
Even though Annuity payments have begun, the Annuitant will continue to have
any voting rights exercisable with respect to the Fund's shares. The number of
votes to be cast by each person having the right to vote will be determined as
of a record date within 90 days prior to the meeting of the Fund, and voting
instructions will be solicited by written communication at least 10 days prior
to such meeting. To be entitled to vote, the Participant or Annuitant must have
been such on the record date. The number of shares as to which voting
instructions may be given to Security First Life is determined by dividing the
value on the record date of that portion of the Participant's Account then
allocated to the Series for a Fund by the net asset value of the Fund share as
of the same date.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Security First Life, in the ordinary course of its business, is engaged in
litigation of various kinds which in its judgment is not of material importance
in relation to its total assets. There are no present or pending material legal
proceedings affecting the Separate Account.

THE INSURANCE COMPANY
Security First Life Insurance Company ("Security First Life") is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Security First Group, Inc. ("SFG"). The common shares of SFG are
held by London Insurance Group, Inc., a Canadian insurance service corporation
and publicly traded subsidiary of the Trilon Financial Corporation of Toronto,
Canada.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Amounts allocated to the Separate Account are invested in the securities of
eight Funds: the Bond Series and the T. Rowe Price Growth and Income Series of
the Security First Trust; the Money Market Portfolio and Growth Portfolio of the
Variable Insurance Products Fund; the Asset Manager Portfolio and Index 500
Portfolio of the Variable Insurance Products Fund II; the T. Rowe Price Growth
Stock Fund; and the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund. The Separate Account
is divided into Series which correspond to these eight Funds.

<PAGE> 26
SURRENDER CHARGES
Subject to the Plan with respect to which the Contract has been issued, all or a
portion of the Participant's Account may be surrendered at any time prior to the
Annuity Date. In the event of a partial or full surrender on or before the sixth
anniversary of the Certificate Date, the portion of the Participant's Account
surrendered will be subject to a surrender charge equal to 5% of the amount
surrendered. Any surrender after the sixth anniversary of the Certificate Date
will not be subject to a surrender charge. In no event, however, will surrender
charges imposed exceed 9% of the Purchase Payments received. No surrender charge
will be deducted from any amount surrendered and reinvested by the Participant
in another group annuity contract issued by Security First Life to the Owner
under the Plan with respect to which the Contract is issued.
Notwithstanding the above, should a Participant have an existing annuity account
with Security First Life under a group annuity contract issued to the Owner in
accordance with the terms of the Plan with respect to which the Contract was
issued and should the date of the Participant's first Purchase Payment to this
group annuity contract precede the Certificate Date, then the Certificate Date
used in the determination of surrender charges under the Certificate shall be
deemed to be the date of such first Purchase Payment under the group annuity
contract.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Separate Account net investment factor is an index of the percentage change
(adjusted for distributions by the Series and the deduction of the mortality and
administrative expense risk fees) in the net asset value of each Fund in which
the Series is invested, since the preceding Business Day. The Separate Account
net investment factor for each Series of Accumulation Units is determined for
any Business Day by dividing (i) the net asset value of a share of the Fund
which is represented by such Series at the close of the business on such day,
plus the per share amount of any distributions made by such Series on such day
by (ii) the net asset value of share of such Fund determined as of the close of
business on the preceding Business Day and then subtracting from this result the
mortality and administrative expense risk fees factor of 0.003425 for each
calendar day between the preceding Business Day and the end of the current
Business Day.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Basis of Variable Annuity Benefits
The Variable Annuity benefit rates used in determining Annuity Payments under
the Contract are based on actuarial assumptions, reflected in tables in the
Contract, as to the expected mortality and adjusted age and the form of Annuity
selected. The mortality basis for these tables is Security First Life's Modified
Select Annuity Mortality Table, projected to the year 2000 on Projection Scale
C, with interest at 4.25% for all functions involving life contingencies and the
portion of any period certain beyond 10 years, and 3.25% for the first 10 years
of any certain period. Adjusted age in those tables means actual age to the
nearest birthday at the time the first payment is due, adjusted according to the
following table:
4
<PAGE> 27
Calendar Year of Birth Adjusted Age Is
---------------------- ---------------
Before 1916 Actual Age
1916 - 1935 Actual Age Minus 1
1936 - 1955 Actual Age Minus 2
1956 - 1975 Actual Age Minus 3
1976 - 1995 Actual Age Minus 4
Determination of Amount of Monthly Variable Annuity Payments for First Year
The Separate Account value used to establish the monthly Variable Annuity
Payment for the first year consists of the value of Accumulation Units of each
Series of the Separate Account credited to a Participant on the last day of the
second calendar week before the Annuity Date. The Contract contains tables
showing monthly payment factors and Annuity premium rates per $1,000 of Separate
Account value to be applied under Options 1 through 4.
At the beginning of the first payment year, an amount is transferred from the
Separate Account to Security First Life's General Account and level monthly
Annuity Payments for the year are made out of the General Account. The amount to
be transferred is determined by multiplying the Annuity premium rate per $1,000
set forth in the Contract tables by the number of thousands of dollars of
Separate Account Value credited to a Participant. The level monthly payment for
the first payment year is then determined by multiplying the amount transferred
(the "Annuity Premium") by the monthly payment factor in the same table. In the
event the Contract involved has Separate Account Accumulation Units in more than
one Series, the total monthly Annuity payment for the first year is the sum of
the monthly Annuity payments, determined in the same manner as above, for each
Series.
At the time the first year's monthly payments are determined, a number of
Annuity Units for each Separate Account Series is also established for the
Annuitant by dividing the monthly payment derived from that Series for the first
year by the Separate Account Annuity Unit values for the Series on the last
Business Day of the second calendar week before the first Annuity payment is
due. The number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity period unless
Annuity Units are converted to another Series.
Determination of Amount of Monthly Variable Annuity Payments for Second and
Subsequent Years
As of each anniversary of the Annuity Date, Security First Life will determine
the amount of the monthly Variable Annuity Payments for the year then beginning.
Separate determinations will be made for each Separate Account Series in which
the Annuitant has Annuity Units, with the total Annuity Payment being the sum of
the payments derived from the Series. The amount of monthly payments for any
Separate Account Series for any year after the first will be determined by
multiplying the number of Annuity Units for that Series by the Annuity Unit
value for that Series for the Valuation Period in which the first payment for
the year is due. It will be Security First Life's practice to mail Variable
Annuity payments no later than 7 days after the last day of the Valuation Period
upon which they are based or the monthly anniversary thereof.
The objective of a Variable Annuity contract is to provide level payments during
periods when the economy is relatively stable and to reflect as increased
payments only the excess of investment results flowing from inflation or an
increase in productivity. The achievement of this objective will depend, in
part, upon the validity of the assumption that the net investment
5
<PAGE> 28
return of the Separate Account equals the Assumed Investment Return during
periods of stable prices. Subsequent years' payments will be smaller than, equal
to or greater than the first year's payments depending on whether the actual net
investment return for the Separate Account is smaller than, equal to or greater
than the Assumed Investment Return.
Annuity Unit Values
The initial value of an Annuity Unit is $5 for each Series for the first
Valuation Period as of which the first Variable Annuity Payment from such Series
is made. The value of an Annuity Unit for each Series on any later date is
determined by multiplying the value of an Annuity Unit at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period by the "Annuity Change Factor" for the second
preceding Valuation Period. The Annuity Change Factor is an adjusted measurement
of the investment performance of the Series since the end of the preceding
Valuation Period. The Annuity Change Factor is determined by dividing the value
of an Accumulation Unit at the end of the Valuation Period and multiplying the
result by a neutralization factor.
Variable Annuity payments for each year after the first reflect variations in
the investment performance of the Separate Account above and below an Assumed
Investment Return. This assumed investment rate is included for purposes of
actuarial computations and does not relate to the actual investment performance
of the underlying Series. Therefore, the Assumed Investment Return must be
"neutralized" in computing the Annuity Change Factor. For weekly Valuation
Periods and a 4.25% Assumed Investment Return, the neutralization factor is
0.9991999.
ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
Security First Life is required to withhold federal income tax on any Contract
distributions to Participants (such as Annuity Payments, lump sum distributions
or partial surrenders). However, Participants are allowed to make an election
not to have federal income tax withheld. After such election is made with
respect to Annuity Payments, an Annuitant may revoke the election at any time,
and thereafter commence withholding. In such a case, Security First Life will
notify the payee at least annually of his or her right to change such election.
The withholding rate followed by Security First Life will be applied only
against the taxable portion of the Contract distributions. Federal tax will be
withheld from Annuity Payments pursuant to the recipient's withholding
certificate. If no withholding certificate is filed with Security First Life,
federal tax will be withheld from Annuity Payments on the basis that the payee
is married with three withholding exemptions. Federal tax on the taxable portion
of a partial or total surrender (i.e., non-periodic distribution) generally will
be withheld at a flat 10% rate. In the case of a plan qualified under Sections
401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, if the balance to the credit of a participant in a
plan is distributed within one taxable year to the recipient ("total
distribution"), the amount of withholding will approximate the federal income
tax on a lump sum distribution. If a total distribution is made from such a plan
or a tax-sheltered annuity on account of the Participant's death, the amount of
withholding will reflect the exclusion from federal income tax for
employer-provided death benefits.
The trustee is required to withhold 20% of certain taxable amounts constituting
"eligible rollover distributions" to participants (including lump sum
distributions) in retirement plans under Code Section 401. This withholding
requirement does not apply to distributions from such plans and annuities in the
form of a life and life expectancy annuity (individual or joint), an annuity
with a designated period of 10 years or more, or any distribution required by
the minimum distribution requirement of Code Section 401(a)(9). Withholding on
these latter types of distribution will continue to be made under the rules
described in the prior paragraph.
6
<PAGE> 29
A participant cannot elect out of the 20% withholding requirement. However, if
an eligible rollover distribution is rolled over into an eligible retirement
plan or IRA in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer, no withholding will be
required.
Payees are required by law to provide Security First Life (as payor) with their
correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN"). If the payee is an individual,
the TIN is the same as his or her Social Security number. If the payee elects
not to have federal income tax withheld on an Annuity payment or a non-periodic
distribution and a correct TIN has not been provided, such election is
ineffective, and such payment will be subject to withholding as noted above.
UNDERWRITERS, DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
The Contracts will be sold as a continuous offering by individuals who are
appropriately licensed as insurance agents of Security First Life for the sale
of life insurance and variable annuity contracts in the state where the sale is
made. In addition, these individuals will be registered representatives of the
principal underwriter, Security First Financial, Inc., or of other
broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 whose
registered representatives are authorized by applicable law to sell variable
annuity contracts issued by Security First Life. Commissions on sales of
contracts range from 0% to 7.5%. Agents are paid from the General Account of
Security First Life. Such commissions bear no direct relationship to any of the
charges under the Contracts. It is expected that the Contracts will be sold in
all states where Security First Life is qualified to sell insurance. No direct
underwriting commissions are paid to Security First Financial, Inc.
VOTING RIGHTS
Unless otherwise restricted by the Plan under which a Contract is issued, each
Participant will have the right to instruct Security First Life with respect to
voting the Funds' shares which are the assets underlying the Participant's
interest in the Separate Account, at all regular and special shareholder
meetings. An Annuitant's voting power with respect to Funds' shares held by the
Separate Account declines during the time the Annuitant is receiving a Variable
Annuity based on the investment performance of the Separate Account, because
amounts attributable to the Annuitant's interest are being transferred annually
to the General Account to provide the variable payments.
SAFEKEEPING OF SECURITIES
All assets of the Separate Account are held in the custody of Security First
Life. The assets of each Separate Account Series will be kept physically
segregated by Security First Life and held separate from the assets of any other
firm, person or corporation. Additional protection for the assets of the
Separate Account is afforded by fidelity bonds covering all of Security First
Life's officers and employees.
SERVICING AGENT
An Administrative Services Agreement has been entered into between Security
First Life and SFG under which the latter has agreed to perform certain of the
administrative services relating to the Contracts and for the Separate Account.
SFG performs substantially all of the record keeping and administrative
services for the Separate Account. Security First Life has not paid fees to
SFG for these services.

STATE REGULATION OF SECURITY FIRST LIFE
Security First Life is subject to the laws of the State of Delaware governing
insurance companies and to regulation by the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance.
An annual statement, in a prescribed form, is filed with the Commissioner on or
before March 1 each year covering the operations of Security First Life for the
preceding year and its financial condition on December 31 of such year. Security
First Life's books and assets are subject to review or examination by the
Commissioner or his agents at all times, and a full examination of its
operations is usually conducted by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners at least once in every three years. Security First Life was last
examined as of December 31, 1993. While Delaware insurance law prescribes
permissible investments for Security First Life, it does not prescribe
permissible investments for the Separate Account, nor does it involve
supervision of the investment management or policy of Security First Life.
In addition, Security First Life is subject to the insurance laws and
regulations of other jurisdictions in which it is licensed to operate. State
insurance laws generally provide regulations for the licensing of insurers and
their agents, govern the financial affairs of insurers, require approval of
policy forms, impose reserve requirements and require filing of an annual
statement. Generally, the insurance departments of these other jurisdictions
apply the laws of Delaware in determining permissible investments for Security
First Life.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of Security First Life and subsidiaries contained
herein should be considered only for the purposes of informing investors as to
its ability to carry out the contractual obligations as depositor under the
Contracts and custodian as described elsewhere herein and in the prospectus. The
financial statements of the Separate Account are also included in this Statement
of Additional Information.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors
Security First Life Insurance Company
and Contract Owners
Security First Life Separate Account A
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of Security First Life Separate Account
A (comprised of Series B, G, T, P, I, FA, FG, FI, FO, FM, SU, SV, AS, SI, FC
and FE) as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations for
the year then ended and changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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, 1996,
by correspondence with the respective mutual fund managers. 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 Security First Life Separate
Account A (comprised of the above referenced Series) at December 31, 1996, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

SECURITY FIRST LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT A
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Security First Life Separate Account A (Separate Account) was established on May
29, 1980, as a separate account of Security First Life Insurance Company
(Security Life), the sponsor company, and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust. The Separate Account is designed
to provide annuity benefits pursuant to certain variable annuity contracts (the
Contracts) issued by Security Life.
In accordance with the terms of the Contracts, all payments allocated to the
Separate Account by the contract owners must be allocated to purchase shares of
any or all of four series of Security First Trust (the Trust), a Massachusetts
business trust, and twelve mutual funds (investment companies). The series of
the Trust are Bond Series, Growth and Income Series, Equity Series, and U.S.
Government Income Series and the mutual funds are T. Rowe Price Growth Stock
Fund, Inc., T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve Fund, Inc., T. Rowe Price International
Stock Fund, Inc., Alger American Small Capitalization Portfolio, Scudder
International Fund, and Fidelity Investments: VIP Asset Manager, VIP Growth
Portfolio, VIP Index 500, VIP Overseas Portfolio, VIP Contra Fund, VIP Equity
Income Portfolio and VIP Money Market Fund. The Trust and the investment
companies are registered as diversified, open-end management investment
companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Separate Account is
correspondingly divided into sixteen series of Accumulation Units, Series B, G,
SU, SV, T, P, I, AS, SI, FA, FG, FI, FO, FC, FE and FM, relating to investments
in each of the investment companies, respectively.
All series of the Trust receive administrative services for a fee from Security
First Investment Management Corporation (Security Management). Security First
Financial, Inc. (Security Financial) is the principal underwriter for the
Contracts. Security Life, Security Management, and Security Financial are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security First Group, Inc. Investment advice is
provided to the Security First Trust Bond Series and Growth and Income Series by
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and to the Security First Trust Equity and U. S.
Government Income Series by Virtus Capital Management.

SECURITY FIRST LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT A
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
The Separate Account and each series therein are administered and accounted for
as part of the business of Security Life, but the investment income and capital
gains and losses of each Separate Account series are identified with the assets
held for that series in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, without
regard to investment income and capital gains and losses arising out of any
other business Security Life may conduct.
The Separate Account incurs no liability for remuneration to directors, advisory
boards, officers or such other persons who may from time to time perform
services for the Separate Account.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- Investments are carried at fair value, which is
determined by multiplying the investment company's shares owned by the Separate
Account by the reported net asset value per share of each respective investment
company. Realized investment gains and losses are determined on the first-in,
first-out cost basis.
EXPENSES AND CHARGES -- The Separate Account accrues charges incurred for the
mortality and expense risk assumed by Security Life. The charges are calculated
daily by multiplying the value of the assets of the Separate Account by the
daily mortality and expense risk rate. Security Life has the option of calling
for payment of such charges at any time. The following table illustrates the
rates for the respective contracts:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Contract Type Annual Rate Daily Rate
------------- ----------- ----------
<S> <C> <C>
SF 234; SF 89; SF 224FL;
SF 236FL; SF 1700 Contracts .89% .0000244
SF 135R; SF 135R2V; SF 226RI Contracts 1.25% .0000342
SF 135R2S Contracts 1.15% .0000315
SF 230; SF 224R1 contracts 1.35% .0000370
</TABLE>
The following charges are deducted from a contract holder's account by Security
Life as a capital transaction by reducing the separate account units held, and
such charges are not an expense of the Separate Account. An administration
charge (contract

charge) is deducted from each contract and paid to Security Life at the end of
each contract year NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
prior to the annuity date, and when the entire contract value is withdrawn on
any date other than a contract anniversary. In the event that a participant
withdraws all or a portion of the participant's account, a contingent deferred
sales charge (CDSC) may be applied to the amount of the contract value withdrawn
to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of contracts. The following table
illustrates contract charges and CDSC with respect to the various types of
contracts:

series to another, a

$10 conversion charge is incurred. The amount deducted for
contract charges and CDSC was $513,405 for the year ended December 31, 1996, and
$273,809 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
INCOME RECOGNITION AND REINVESTMENT -- Income is recognized as declared payable
by the investment companies. All distributions received are reinvested in the
investment companies.
NOTE 3 -- FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The operations of the Separate Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the
operations of Security Life, which is taxed as a "life insurance company" under
the Internal Revenue Code, and as such, Security Life is liable for income
taxes, if any, which become payable with respect to the Separate Account's
operations.
Separate accounts are generally required to meet certain diversification
requirements for their assets. However, separate accounts which solely provide
benefits for "pension plan contracts" are exempt from the diversification
requirements. Pension plan contracts include: (i) tax qualified plans; (ii)
employee annuities; (iii) plans for employees of life insurance companies; (iv)
tax sheltered annuities of exempt organizations; (v) individual retirement
accounts or annuities, and (vi) deferred compensation plans of certain
governmental or tax-exempt organizations. The Contracts issued by Security Life
are offered in connection with both pension plan contracts and non-qualified
contracts, therefore the Separate Account is subject to the diversification
requirements. Management believes that the Separate Account has met the
diversification requirements.

NOTE 6 -- ACQUISITION OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT
As a result of certain agreements entered into between Security Life and
Fidelity Standard Life Insurance Company (Fidelity Standard), Security Life
assumptively reinsured certain annuity business from Fidelity Standard. These
agreements were effective October 31, 1996. The reinsurance between Security
Life and Fidelity Standard included variable annuity contracts (SF 224R1
Contracts) which became part of the Separate Account. This transaction had no
effect on unit values or number of units outstanding with respect to the SF224R1
Contracts. Previously issued financial statements for the Separate Account and
Fidelity Standard Life Separate Account were not effected by this transaction.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
Security First Life Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security First
Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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 Security First
Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, Security First
Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries made certain accounting changes in 1994.

SECURITY FIRST LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION -- Security First Life Insurance Company (Security First
Life) and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Security First Group, Inc. (SFG). SFG has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of
London Insurance Group, Inc. (LIG) since May 1994. The Company sells a broad
range of fixed and variable annuity contracts.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which differ in some respects
from statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory
authorities (statutory basis) and include the accounts of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Security First Life Insurance Company of Arizona (SFL-Arizona).
Prior to December 31, 1996, the financial statements also included the accounts
of Fidelity Standard Life Insurance Company (Fidelity Standard Life), which was
sold as of that date. (See Note 9.) All significant intercompany transactions
and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
INVESTMENTS -- Investments are reported on the following bases:
Fixed Maturities -- at fair value, which differs from the amortized cost of
such investments. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments (net of
related adjustments for deferred policy acquisition costs and applicable
deferred income taxes) are credited or charged to stockholder's equity
and, accordingly, have no effect on net income.
For those fixed maturities which are mortgage-backed, the Company recognizes
income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and
the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments
differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is
recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future
payments. The net investment in the security is adjusted to the amount that
would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the
acquisition of the security. Such adjustment is included in net investment
income.
The Company classifies its fixed maturities as available-for-sale. The
Company does not maintain a trading portfolio.
Policy and mortgage loans -- at unpaid balances.
Short-term investments -- at cost, which approximates fair value.
Other investments -- at fair value.
Realized gains and losses on disposal of investments are determined on a
specific identification basis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- Cash equivalents consist of investments in money
market funds. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS -- As of January 1, 1995, the Company adopted
the account value deposit method of reporting for two-tier annuities (those
annuities that have a different interest credited rate for annuitization as
compared to withdrawal). The Company had previously adopted this method for
single-tier annuities. Under this method, commissions and other costs of
acquiring annuities that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition
of such business are included in deferred policy acquisition costs. Prior to
that date, certain commission costs for two-tier annuities were reported as a
component of policyholder liabilities. As a result of this change, deferred
policy acquisition costs and policyholder liabilities increased by $38,590,000
on January 1, 1995 with no effect on stockholder's equity. Additionally, the
presentation of certain revenue and expense items in the consolidated statement
of income for the year ended December 31, 1995 has been effected by this change
with no significant impact on net income.
Deferred policy acquisition costs are being amortized in proportion to the
present value of estimated future gross margins which includes the impact of
realized investment gains and losses.
POLICYHOLDER LIABILITIES -- As indicated previously, the Company adopted the
account value deposit method for reporting on two-tier annuities as of January
1, 1995. Under this method, the policyholder liabilities for two-tier annuities
are the lower tier account values. Policyholder liabilities for the Company's
single-tier fixed annuity products are the account values.
The fair value of policyholder liabilities is estimated assuming all
policyholders surrender their policies. The carrying amounts and estimated fair
values are as follows (in thousands):
<TABLE>

<S> <C> <C>

December 31, 1995 2,047,818 1,976,079
</TABLE>
NOTES PAYABLE -- Notes payable are carried at their unpaid balances which
approximate fair value because the interest rates on these notes approximate
market rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
INCOME TAXES -- The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns with
SFG. Income taxes are provided on the basis as if the companies filed
separately.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Such differences are related principally to the deferral of policy
acquisition costs, the valuation of fixed maturities and the provision for
policyholder liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS -- The assets held in separate accounts represent funds that
are separately administered by the Company pursuant to variable annuity
contracts. The liabilities related to separate accounts consist of policyholder
liabilities for variable annuities. The separate account assets and liabilities
are reported at fair value. The Company receives a fee for administrative
services provided to the separate accounts. Investment risks associated with
fair value changes are borne by the contract holders.
ANNUITY REVENUES AND BENEFITS -- Annuity product income represents fees earned
from policyholders of annuity contracts, including surrender charges,
annuitization charges and administration fees. Benefits in excess of
policyholder liabilities consists of the difference between the policyholder
account values annuitized during the period and the related policyholder
liability balances.
ESTIMATES -- Certain amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements are based on management's best estimates and judgments. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain reclassifications of prior-year amounts have been
made to conform with current-year classifications.

Security First Life and Fidelity Standard Life are incorporated and domiciled in
Delaware. SFL-Arizona is incorporated and domiciled in Arizona. The payment of
dividends is subject to statutory limitations which are based on each company's
statutory-basis net income and surplus levels. At December 31, 1996, the maximum
amount of dividends Security First Life could pay SFG without prior approval
from state insurance regulatory authorities is $12,132,000.

NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENTS
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS
No. 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, as
of January 1, 1994. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, prior period financial
statements were not restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The
cumulative effect as of January 1, 1994 of adopting SFAS No. 115 was an increase
in stockholder's equity of $28,618,000 -- net of related adjustments for
deferred policy acquisition costs of $62,166,000 which was recorded as an
adjustment to policyholder liabilities and deferred income taxes of $14,743,000
- -- to reflect the net unrealized gains on securities previously carried at
amortized cost. There was no effect on net income as a result of the adoption of
SFAS No. 115.

NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENTS (continued)
The Company has recorded valuation reserves for other-than-temporary impairment
in the value of investments of $6,900,000 and $4,250,000 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to fixed maturities are limited due
to the large number of issues owned and their dispersion across many different
industries and geographic areas. Accordingly, at December 31, 1996, the Company
had no significant concentration of credit risk.
The fair values for fixed maturities are primarily based on values obtained from
independent pricing services.
The carrying amount of mortgage loans ($945,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995)
and policy loans ($21,433,000 and $17,853,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively) approximates fair value because the interest rates on these loans
approximate market rates.
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality
financial institutions and, by corporate policy, limits the amount of credit
exposure to any one financial institution.
At December 31, 1996, investment securities having an amortized cost of
$10,566,000 were on deposit with various states in accordance with state
insurance department requirements.
Investment income by major category of investment is summarized as follows (in

Related income offset against the lease costs was $1,656,000, $1,663,000 and
$1,649,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 7 -- COMMITMENTS
The Company has forward contracts with commitments to purchase mortgage-backed
securities with total par values of $17,500,000 at December 31, 1996. The
Company uses these contracts to hedge the interest rate risk on future
investments that match policyholder liabilities, primarily related to
guaranteed-rate products. Gains or losses realized on such contracts are
included in the carrying value of the underlying anticipated investment. The
Company is subject to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts would
fail to deliver the securities to the Company on settlement date, if the Company
were to hold the contract on that date. The Company's current cash balances and
expected future cash flows are sufficient to settle the commitments under
these forward contracts.
