ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CERTIFICATE OWNERS:
As of December 31, 1996, MONY Variable Account A had 9,627 owners of
contracts.
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
The By-Laws of The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York provide, in
Article XVI as follows:
Each person (and the heirs, executors and administrators of such person)
made or threatened to be made a party to any action, civil or criminal, by
reason of being or having been a trustee, officer, or employee of the
corporation (or by reason of serving any other organization at the request of
the corporation) shall be indemnified to the extent permitted by the law of the
State of New York and in the manner prescribed therein. To this end, and as
authorized by Chapter 513, 1986 Laws of New York, the Board of Trustees may
adopt all resolutions, authorize all agreements and take all actions with
respect to the indemnification of trustees and officers, and the advance payment
of their expenses in connection therewith.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expense incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant, will (unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS
(a) MONY Securities Corp. ("MSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York ("MONY"), is the principal underwriter of the
Registrant and also acts as principal underwriter for MONY Series Fund, Inc.
(the "Fund"). MONY acts as sub-investment adviser to the Fund through a services
agreement.
(b) The names, titles, and principal business addresses of the officers of
MSC are listed on Schedule A of Form BD for MSC (Registration No. 8-15289)
(originally filed on behalf of MONY Sales, Inc. on November 23, 1969) and Form
U-4 filed by each individual officer, the text of which is hereby incorporated
by reference.
(c) No commissions or other compensation was received by the principal
underwriter, directly or indirectly, from or MONY Variable Account A during
fiscal year 1992 and 1992.
ITEM 30. LOCATION OF ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS
Accounts, books, and other documents required to be maintained by Section
31(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Rules promulgated thereunder
