SPECIAL TERMS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a list of terms and their meanings when used in this
Prospectus.
ACCOUNT: Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account.
ACCOUNT VALUE: The value of all assets held in the Account.
ACCUMULATION UNIT: A standard of measurement for each Subaccount used to
determine the value of a Contract and the interest in the Subaccounts prior to
the start of annuity payments.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE: The value of one Accumulation Unit was set at $1.000000
on the date assets were first allocated to each Subaccount. The value of one
Accumulation Unit on any subsequent Valuation Date is determined by multiplying
the immediately preceding Accumulation Unit Value by the applicable Net
Investment Factor for the Valuation Period ending on such Valuation Date.
ANNUITANT: The person whose life is used as the measuring life under the
Contract. The annuitant will be the primary Annuitant as shown on the Contract's
Schedule Page while that person is living, and will then be the contingent
Annuitant, if that person is living at the death of the primary Annuitant.
ANNUITY OPTION: The provisions under which we make a series of annuity payments
to the Annuitant or other payee, such as Life Annuity with Ten Years Certain.
See "Annuity Options."
ANNUITY UNIT: A standard of measurement used in determining the amount of each
periodic payment under the variable payment Annuity Options I, J, K, M and N.
CLAIM DATE: The Contract Value next determined following receipt of due proof.
CONTRACT: The deferred variable accumulation annuity contracts described in
this Prospectus.
CONTRACT OWNER (OWNER, YOU, YOUR): Usually, the person or entity, to whom we
issue the Contract. The Contract Owner has the sole right to exercise all rights
and privileges under the Contract as provided in the Contract. The Owner may be
the Annuitant, an employer, a trust or any other individual or entity. However,
under Contracts used with certain tax qualified plans, the Owner must be the
Annuitant. A husband and wife may be designated as joint owners, and if such a
joint owner dies, the other joint owner becomes the sole Owner of the Contract.
If no Owner is named, the Annuitant will be the Owner.
CONTRACT VALUE: Prior to the Maturity Date, the sum of all Accumulation Units
held in the Subaccounts of the Account and the value held in the GIA. For
Tax-sheltered Annuity plans (as described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 403(b))
with loans, the Contract Value is the sum of all Accumulation Units held in the
Subaccounts of the Account and the value held in the GIA plus the value held in
the Loan Security Account, less any Loan Debt.
FIXED PAYMENT ANNUITY: A benefit providing periodic payments of a fixed dollar
amount throughout the Annuity Period. This benefit does not vary with or reflect
the investment performance of any Subaccount.
FUNDS: The Phoenix Edge Series Fund, Deutsche Asset Management VIT Funds,
Federated Insurance Series, The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc., Franklin
Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust and Wanger Advisors Trust.
GROUP CONTRACT: The deferred variable accumulation annuity contract, offered to
employers or trusts to fund tax-qualified plans for groups of participants,
described in this Prospectus.
GIA: An investment option under which payment amounts are guaranteed to earn a
fixed rate of interest.
ISSUE DATE: The date that the initial payment is invested under a Contract.
LOAN DEBT: Loan Debt is equal to the sum of the outstanding loan balance plus
any accrued loan interest.
LOAN SECURITY ACCOUNT: The Loan Security Account is part of the general account
and is the sole security for Tax-sheltered Annuities (as described in IRC
403(b)) loans. It is increased with all loan amounts taken and reduced by all
repayments of loan principal.
MATURITY DATE: The date elected by the Owner when annuity payments will begin.
The elected date is subject to certain conditions described in "The Annuity
Period."
MINIMUM INITIAL PAYMENT: The amount that you pay when you purchase a Contract.
We require minimum initial payments of:
[diamond] Non-qualified plans--$1,000
[diamond] Individual Retirement Annuity--$1,000
[diamond] Bank draft program--$25
[diamond] Qualified plans--$1,000 annually
[diamond] Contracts with a Maturity Date in the first Contract Year--$10,000
MINIMUM SUBSEQUENT PAYMENT: The least amount that you may pay when you make any
subsequent payments, after the minimum initial payment (see above). The minimum
subsequent payment for all Contracts is $25.
NET ASSET VALUE: Net asset value of a Series' shares is computed by dividing the
value of the net assets of the Series by the total number of Series' outstanding
shares.
4
<PAGE>
PAYMENT UPON DEATH: The obligation of Phoenix under a Contract to make a payment
on the death of the Owner or Annuitant anytime (a) before the Maturity Date of a
Contract (see "Payment Upon Death Before Maturity Date") or (b) after the
Maturity Date of a Contract (see "Payment Upon Death After Maturity Date").
PHOENIX (OUR, WE, US, COMPANY): Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company.
VALUATION DATE: A Valuation Date is every day the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") is open for trading and Phoenix is open for business.
VAO: The Variable Annuity Operations.

according to the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts.

OVERVIEW
The Contract offers a dynamic idea in retirement planning. It's designed to
give you maximum flexibility in obtaining your investment goals.
The Contract offers a combination of investment options both variable and
fixed. Investments in the Subaccounts provide returns that are variable and
depend upon the performance of the underlying Funds. Allocations to the GIA
produce guaranteed interest earnings subject to certain conditions.
You also may select from many different variable and fixed annuity payout
options, some of which offer retirement income payments that you cannot outlive.
See "The Annuity Period--Annuity Options."

PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We may include the performance history of the Subaccounts in advertisements,
sales literature or reports. Performance information about each Subaccount is
based on past performance only and is not an indication of future performance.
See Appendix A for more information.
THE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ANNUITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The individual deferred variable accumulation annuity contract (the
"Contract") issued by Phoenix is significantly different from a fixed annuity
contract in that, unless the GIA is selected, it is the Owner and Annuitant
under a Contract who bear the risk of investment gain or loss rather than
Phoenix. To the extent that payments are not allocated to the GIA, the amounts
which will be available for annuity payments under a Contract will depend on the
investment performance of the amounts allocated to the Subaccounts. Upon the
maturity of a Contract, the amounts held under a Contract will continue to be
invested in the Account or the GIA. The monthly annuity payments will vary
according to the investment experience of the selected investment options.
However, a fixed annuity may be elected, in which case, Phoenix will guarantee
specified monthly annuity payments.
You select the investment objective of each Contract on a continuing basis
by directing the allocation of payments and the reallocation of the Contract
Value among the GIA or the Subaccounts.
PHOENIX AND THE ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phoenix is a mutual life insurance company originally chartered in
Connecticut in 1851 and redomiciled to New York in 1992. Our Executive Office is
located at One American Row, Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5056 and our main
administrative office is located at 100 Bright Meadow Boulevard, Enfield,
Connecticut 06083-1900. The principal office is located at 10 Krey Boulevard,
East Greenbush, New York 12144. We sell insurance policies and annuity contracts
through our own field force of full-time agents and through brokers. On April
17, 2000, the Board of Directors of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company
authorized management to develop a plan for conversion from a mutual to a
publicly traded stock company. If such a plan is developed and adopted by the
Board, it would be subject to the approval of the New York Insurance Department
and other regulators and submitted to policyholders for approval. The plan would
go into effect only after all these requirements had been met. There is no
assurance that any such plan will be adopted, and if adopted, there is no
guarantee as to the amount or nature of consideration to eligible policyholders.
On June 21, 1982, we established the Account, a separate account created
under the insurance laws of Connecticut. The Account is registered with the SEC
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act") and it meets the definition of a "separate account" under the 1940 Act.
Registration under the 1940 Act does not involve supervision of the management
or investment practices or policies of the Account or Phoenix.
On July 1, 1992, the Account's domicile was transferred to New York. Under
New York law and the Contracts, all income, gains or losses of the Account must
be credited to or charged against the amounts placed in the Account without
regard to the other income, gains and losses of Phoenix. The assets of the
Account may not be used to pay liabilities arising out of any other business
that Phoenix may conduct. Obligations under the Contracts are obligations of
Phoenix.
Contributions to the GIA are not invested in the Account; rather, they
become part of the Phoenix general account (the "General Account"). The General
Account supports all insurance and annuity obligations of Phoenix and is made up
of all of its general assets other than those allocated to any separate account
such as the Account. For more complete information concerning the GIA, see
Appendix B.

Each series will be subject to market fluctuations and the risks that come
with the ownership of any security, and there can be no assurance that any
series will achieve its stated investment objective.
In addition to being sold to the Account, shares of the funds also may be
sold to other separate accounts of Phoenix or its affiliates or to the separate
accounts of other insurance companies.
It is possible that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the fund(s)
31
<PAGE>
simultaneously. Although neither we nor the fund(s) trustees currently
foresee any such disadvantages either to variable life insurance policyowners or
to variable annuity contract owners, the funds' trustees intend to monitor
events in order to identify any material conflicts between variable life
insurance policyowners and variable annuity contract owners and to determine
what action, if any, should be taken in response to such conflicts. Material
conflicts could, for example, result from (1) changes in state insurance laws,
(2) changes in federal income tax laws, (3) changes in the investment management
of any portfolio of the fund(s) or (4) differences in voting instructions
between those given by variable life insurance policyowners and those given by
variable annuity contract owners. We will, at our own expense, remedy such
material conflicts, including, if necessary, segregating the assets underlying
the variable life insurance policies and the variable annuity contracts and
establishing a new registered investment company.

PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We require minimum initial payments of:
[diamond] Non-qualified plans--$1,000
[diamond] Individual Retirement Annuity--$1,000
[diamond] Bank draft program--$25
o You may authorize your bank to draw $25 or more from your personal
checking account monthly to purchase Units in any available
Subaccount, or for deposit in the GIA. The amount you designate
will be automatically invested on the date the bank draws on your
account. If Check-o-matic is elected, the minimum initial payment
is $25. This payment must accompany the application. Each subsequent
payment under a Contract must be at least $25.
[diamond] Qualified plans--$1,000 annually
o Contracts purchased in connection with tax-qualified or employer-
sponsored plans, a minimum annual payment of $1,000 is required.
[diamond] Contracts with a Maturity Date in the first Contract Year--$10,000
Generally, a Contract may not be purchased for a proposed Annuitant who is
81 years of age or older. Total payments in excess of $1,000,000 cannot be made
without the permission of Phoenix. While the Annuitant is living and the
Contract is in force, payments may be made anytime before the Maturity Date of a
Contract.
Payments received under the Contracts will be allocated in any combination
to any Subaccount or the GIA, in the proportion specified in the application for
the Contract or as otherwise indicated by you from time to time. Initial
payments may, under certain circumstances, be allocated to the Phoenix-Goodwin
Money Market Subaccount. See "Free Look Period." Changes in the allocation of
payments will be effective as of receipt by VPMO of notice of election in a form
satisfactory to us (either in writing or by telephone) and will apply to any
payments accompanying such notice or made subsequent to the receipt of the
notice, unless otherwise requested by you.
In certain circumstances, we may reduce the initial or subsequent payment
amount we accept for a Contract. Qualifications for such reduction follow:
[diamond] the makeup and size of the prospective group; or
[diamond] the method and frequency of payments; and
[diamond] the amount of compensation to be paid to Registered Representative(s)
on each payment.
Any reduction will not unfairly discriminate against any person. We will
make any such reduction according to our own rules in effect at the time the
payment is received. We reserve the right to change these rules from time to
time.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUM TAX
Whether or not a premium tax is imposed will depend upon, among other
things, the Owner's state of residence, the Annuitant's state of residence, the
status of Phoenix within those states and the insurance tax laws of those
states. Phoenix will pay any premium tax due and will reimburse itself only upon
the earlier of partial withdrawal, surrender of the Contract, Maturity Date or
payment of death proceeds. For a list of states and premium taxes, see Appendix
C to this Prospectus.
SURRENDER CHARGES
A deduction for surrender charges for this Contract may be taken from
proceeds of partial withdrawals or complete surrender of the Contract. The
amount (if any) of a surrender charge depends on whether your payments are held
under the Contract for a certain period of time. The surrender charge schedule
is shown in the chart below. No surrender charge will be taken from death
proceeds. No surrender charge will be taken after the Annuity Period has begun
except with respect to unscheduled withdrawals under Annuity Option K or L
below. See "Annuity Options." Any surrender charge is imposed on a first-in,
first-out basis.
Up to 10% of the Contract Value may be withdrawn in a Contract year, either
in a lump sum or by multiple scheduled or unscheduled amounts without the
imposition of a surrender charge. During the first Contract year, the 10%
withdrawal without a surrender charge will be based on the Contract Value at the
time of the first partial withdrawal. In subsequent years, the 10% will be based
on the previous Contract anniversary value. The deduction for surrender charges,
expressed as a percentage of the amount withdrawn in excess of the 10% allowable
amount, is as follows:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Percent 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Age of Payment in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6+
Complete Years
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
If the Annuitant or Owner dies before the Maturity Date of the Contract, the
surrender charge described in the table above will not apply.
The total deferred surrender charges on a Contract will never exceed 9% of
total payments, and the applicable level of surrender charge cannot be changed
with respect to outstanding Contracts. Surrender charges imposed in connection
with partial surrenders will be deducted from the Subaccounts and GIA on a pro
rata basis. Any distribution costs not paid for by surrender charges will be
paid by Phoenix from the assets of the General Account.

<PAGE>
CHARGES FOR MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS
While you bear the investment risk of the Series in which you invest, once
the Contract has been converted to a fixed annuity, the annuity payments are
guaranteed by us. We assume the risk that Annuitants as a class may live longer
than expected (necessitating a greater number of annuity payments) and that our
expenses may be higher than the deductions for such expenses.
In assuming the mortality risk, we agree to continue life annuity payments,
determined in accordance with the annuity tables and other provisions of the
Contract, to the Annuitant or other payee for as long as he or she may live.
To compensate for assuming these risks, we charge each Subaccount the daily
equivalent of .40% annually of the current value of the Subaccount's net assets
for mortality risks assumed and the daily equivalent of .85% annually for
expense risks assumed. (See the Contract Schedule Pages.) No mortality and
expense risk charge is deducted from the GIA. If the charges prove insufficient
to cover actual insurance underwriting costs and excess administrative costs,
then the loss will be borne by us; conversely, if the amount deducted proves
more than sufficient, the excess will be a profit to Phoenix. Any such profit
may be used, as part of our General Account assets, to meet sales expenses, if
any, which are in excess of sales commission revenue generated from any
surrender charges.
We have concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
distribution financing arrangement being used in connection with the Contract
will benefit the Account and the Contract Owners.
CHARGES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
We are responsible for administering the Contract. In doing so, we maintain
an account for each Owner and Annuitant, make all disbursements of benefits,
furnish administrative and clerical services for each Contract. We also make
disbursements to pay obligations chargeable to the Account, maintain the
accounts, records and other documents relating to the business of the Account
required by regulatory authorities, cause the maintenance of the registration
and qualification of the Account under laws administered by the SEC, prepare and
distribute notices and reports to Owners, and the like. We also reimburse
Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO") for any expenses incurred by it as
"principal underwriter."
To cover certain of its costs of administration, such as preparation of
billings and statements of account, Phoenix generally charges each Contract $35
each year prior to the Contract's Maturity Date. A reduced charge may apply in
certain situations. This charge is deducted from each Subaccount and GIA in
which you are invested on a pro rata basis. This charge may be decreased but
will never increase. This charge is deducted on the Contract anniversary date
for services rendered during the preceding Contract Year. Upon surrender of a
Contract, the entire annual administrative charge of $35 is deducted regardless
of when the surrender occurs.
If you elect Payment Options I, J, K, M or N, the annual administrative
charge after the Maturity Date will be deducted from each annuity payment in
equal amounts.
We may reduce the annual administrative charges for Contracts issued under
tax-qualified plans other than IRAs, and for group or sponsored arrangements
such as Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) or 457 Plans. Generally,
administrative costs per Contract vary with the size of the group or sponsored
arrangement, its stability as indicated by its term of existence and certain
characteristics of its members, the purposes for which the Contracts are
purchased and other factors. The amount of reduction will be considered on a
case-by-case basis but will be applied in a uniform, nondiscriminatory manner
that reflects the reduced administrative costs expected as a result of sales to
a particular group or sponsored arrangement.
No surrender or annual administrative charges will be deducted for Contracts
sold to registered representatives of the principal underwriter or to officers,
directors and employees of Phoenix or its affiliates and their spouses; or to
employees or agents who retire from Phoenix or its affiliates or PEPCO, or its
affiliates or to registered representatives of broker-dealers with whom PEPCO
has selling agreements.
OTHER CHARGES
As compensation for investment management services, the Advisers are
entitled to a fee, payable monthly and based on an annual percentage of the
average daily net asset values of each Series. These Fund charges and other Fund
expenses are described more fully in the accompanying Fund prospectuses.
THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The accumulation period is that time before annuity payments begin that your
payments into the Contract remain invested.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
Your initial payments will be applied within two days of our receipt if the
application for a Contract is complete. If an incomplete application is
completed within five business days of receipt by VPMO, your payment will be
applied within two days of the completion of the application. If VPMO does not
accept the application within five business days or if an order form is not
completed within five business days of receipt by VPMO, then your payment will
be immediately returned unless you request us to hold it while the application
is completed. Additional payments allocated to the GIA are deposited on the date
of receipt of payment at VPMO. Additional payments allocated to Subaccounts are
used to purchase Accumulation Units of the Subaccount(s), at the value of such
Units next determined after the receipt of the payment at VPMO. The
34
<PAGE>
number of Accumulation Units of a Subaccount purchased with a specific
payment will be determined by dividing the payment by the value of an
Accumulation Unit in that Subaccount next determined after receipt of the
payment. The value of the Accumulation Units of a Subaccount will vary depending
upon the investment performance of the applicable Series of the Funds, the
expenses charged against the Fund and the charges and deductions made against
the Subaccount.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
On any date before the Maturity Date of the Contract, the total value of the
Accumulation Units in a Subaccount can be computed by multiplying the number of
such Units by the value of an Accumulation Unit on that date. The value of an
Accumulation Unit on a day other than a Valuation Date is the value of the
Accumulation Unit on the next Valuation Date. The number of Accumulation Units
credited to you in each Subaccount and their current value will be reported to
you at least annually.
TRANSFERS
You may, anytime up to 30 days prior to the Maturity Date of your Contract,
elect to transfer all or any part of the Contract Value among one or more
Subaccounts or the GIA. A transfer from a Subaccount will result in the
redemption of Accumulation Units and, if another Subaccount is selected, in the
purchase of Accumulation Units. The exchange will be based on the values of the
Accumulation Units next determined after the receipt by VPMO of written notice
of election in a form satisfactory to us. A transfer among Subaccounts or the
GIA does not automatically change the payment allocation schedule of your
contract.
You may also request transfers and changes in payment allocations among
available Subaccounts or the GIA by calling VAO at 800/541-0171 between the
hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Unless you elect in writing not
to authorize telephone transfers or allocation changes, telephone transfer
orders and allocation changes also will be accepted on your behalf from your
registered representative. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that
telephone instructions are genuine. We will require verification of account
information and will record telephone instructions on tape. All telephone
transfers and allocation changes will be confirmed in writing to you. To the
extent that procedures reasonably designed to prevent unauthorized transfers are
not followed, we may be liable for following telephone instructions for
transfers that prove to be fraudulent. However, you will bear the risk of loss
resulting from instructions entered by an unauthorized third party we reasonably
believe to be genuine. These telephone exchange and allocation change privileges
may be modified or terminated at any time. In particular, during times of
extreme market volatility, telephone privileges may be difficult to exercise. In
such cases you should submit written instructions.
Because excessive trading can hurt Fund performance and harm all Contract
Owners, we reserve the right to temporarily or permanently terminate exchange
privileges or reject any specific order from anyone whose transactions seem to
follow a timing pattern, including those who request more than one exchange out
of a Subaccount within any 30-day period. We will not accept batch transfer
instructions from registered representatives (acting under powers of attorney
for multiple Contract Owners), unless we have entered into a third-party
transfer service agreement with the registered representative's broker-dealer
firm.
No surrender charge will be assessed when a transfer is made. The date a
payment was originally credited for the purpose of calculating the surrender
charge will remain the same. Currently, there is no charge for transfers.
However, we reserve the right to charge a transfer fee of $10 per transfer after
the first two transfers in each Contract year to defray administrative costs.
Currently, unlimited transfers are permitted. However, we reserve the right to
change our policy to limit the number of transfers made to no more than six
during each Contract year.
We reserve the right to limit the number of Subaccounts you may elect to a
total of 18 over the life of the Contract unless changes in federal and/or state
regulation, including tax, securities and insurance law require us to impose a
lower limit.
OPTIONAL PROGRAMS AND BENEFITS
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
You also may elect to transfer funds automatically among the Subaccounts or
GIA on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program. Generally, the minimum initial and subsequent transfer
amounts are $25 monthly, $75 quarterly, $150 semiannually or $300 annually. You
must have an initial value of $2,000 in the GIA or in the Subaccount from which
funds will be transferred (sending Subaccount), and if the value in that
Subaccount or the GIA drops below the amount to be transferred, the entire
remaining balance will be transferred and no more systematic transfers will be
processed. Also, payments of $1,000,000 or more require our approval before we
will accept them for processing. Funds may be transferred from only one sending
Subaccount or from the GIA but may be allocated to multiple receiving
Subaccounts. Under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may transfer
approximately equal amounts from the GIA over a period of 6 months or longer.
Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program are not subject to the general
restrictions on transfers from the GIA.
Upon completion of the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you must notify VAO at
800/541-0171 or in writing to VPMO to start another Dollar Cost Averaging
Program.
35
<PAGE>
All transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program will be executed on
the basis of values as of the first of the month rather than on the basis of
values next determined after receipt of the transfer request. If the first of
the month falls on a holiday or weekend, then the transfer will be processed on
the next succeeding business day.
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program is not available to individuals who invest
via a Bank draft program or while the Asset Rebalancing Program is in effect.
There is no charge for this service.
The Dollar Cost Averaging does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against a
loss in a declining market.
ASSET REBALANCING PROGRAM
Under the Asset Rebalancing Program, we transfer funds among the Subaccounts
to maintain the percentage allocation you have selected among these Subaccounts.
At your election, we will make these transfers on a monthly, quarterly,
semiannual or annual basis.
Asset Rebalancing does not permit transfers to or from the GIA. There is no
charge for this service.
The Asset Rebalancing Program does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against
a loss in a declining market.
SURRENDER OF CONTRACT; PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
If the Annuitant is living, amounts held under the Contract may be withdrawn
in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date, or after the Maturity Date under
Annuity Options K or L. Prior to the Maturity Date, you may withdraw up to 10%
of the Contract Value in a Contract year, either in a lump sum or by multiple
scheduled or unscheduled partial withdrawals, without the imposition of a
surrender charge. During the first Contract year, the 10% withdrawal without a
surrender charge is available only on Contracts issued on or after May 1, 1996,
and will be determined based on the Contract Value at the time of the first
partial withdrawal. In all subsequent years, the 10% will be based on the
previous Contract anniversary value. A signed written request for withdrawal
must be sent to VPMO. If you have not yet reached age 59 1/2, a 10% penalty tax
may apply on taxable income withdrawn. See "Federal Income Taxes." The
appropriate number of Accumulation Units of a Subaccount will be redeemed at
their value next determined after the receipt by VPMO of a written notice in a
form satisfactory to us. Accumulation Units redeemed in a partial withdrawal
from multiple Subaccounts will be redeemed on a pro rata basis unless you
designate otherwise. Contract Values in the GIA will also be withdrawn on a pro
rata basis unless you designate otherwise. The resulting cash payment will be
made in a single sum, ordinarily within seven days after receipt of such notice.
However, redemption and payment may be delayed under certain circumstances. See
"Deferment of Payment." There may be adverse tax consequences to certain
surrenders and partial withdrawals. See "Surrenders or Withdrawals Prior to the
Contract Maturity Date." Certain restrictions on redemptions are imposed on
Contracts used in connection with Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) plans.
Although loans are available under 403(b) plans only, certain limitations may
apply. See "Qualified Plans"; "Tax Sheltered Annuities." A deduction for
surrender charges may be imposed on partial withdrawals from, and complete
surrender of, a Contract. See "Surrender Charges." Any surrender charge is
imposed on a first-in, first-out basis.
Any request for a withdrawal from, or complete surrender of, a Contract
should be mailed to Phoenix Variable Products Mail Operations, PO Box 8027,
Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8027.
LAPSE OF CONTRACT
The Contract will terminate and lapse without value, if on any Valuation
Date:
[diamond] the Contract Value is zero; or
[diamond] the premium tax reimbursement due on surrender or partial withdrawals
is greater than or equal to the Contract Value (unless any Contract
Value has been applied under one of the variable payment options).
Phoenix will notify you in writing that the Contract has lapsed.
PAYMENT UPON DEATH BEFORE MATURITY DATE

Upon the death of the Annuitant who is not the Owner provided a
contingent Annuitant was named prior to the death of the Annuitant,
the contract will continue with the contingent Annuitant becoming
the Annuitant.
o QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Under qualified Contracts, the death benefit is paid at the death of
the participant who is the Annuitant under the Contract.
Death benefit payments must satisfy distribution rules. See "Federal
Income Taxes--Qualified Plans."

Upon the death of an Owner who is not the Annuitant, provided that
there is no surviving joint Owner, the death proceeds will be paid
to the Owner's beneficiary. The death benefit is equal to the cash
surrender value.
If the death benefit amount to be paid is less than $2,000, it will be paid
in a single lump sum (see "Annuity Options"). Depending upon state law, the
death benefit payment to the beneficiary may avoid probate and the death benefit
may be reduced by any premium tax due. See "Deductions and Charges--Premium
Tax." See also, "Federal Income Taxes--Distribution at Death."
NEW YORK INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS ISSUED ON OR AFTER MAY 1, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New York Individual Contracts issued on or after May 1, 1997, have certain
differences from the other individual Contracts described in this Prospectus.
Other than the differences noted in this section, the Contracts are the same as
other individual Contracts. These differences are reflected in the "Summary of
Expenses for New York Individual Contracts Issued on or after May 1, 1997."
SURRENDER CHARGES
A deduction for surrender charges for these Contracts may be taken from
proceeds of partial withdrawals or complete surrender of the Contract. The
amount (if any) of a surrender charge depends on whether your payments are held
under the Contract for a certain period of time. The surrender charge schedule
is shown in the chart below. No surrender charge will be taken after the Annuity
Period has begun, except with respect to unscheduled withdrawals under Options K
or L. See "Annuity Options." A surrender charge is not imposed on amounts
payable because of the death of the Annuitant or Owner.
Up to 10% of the Contract Value may be withdrawn in a Contract year, either
in a lump sum or by multiple scheduled or unscheduled amounts, without
imposition of a surrender charge. During the first Contract year, the 10%
withdrawal without a surrender charge will be based on the Contract Value at the
time of the first partial withdrawal. In subsequent years, the 10% will be based
on the previous Contract anniversary value. The deduction for surrender charges,
expressed as a percentage of the amounts redeemed greater than the 10% allowable
amount up to a maximum of the total premium is as follows:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Percent 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Age of Payment in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7+

- ---------------------------------------------------------------
If the Annuitant or Owner dies before the Maturity Date, the surrender
charge described in the table above will not apply.
DAILY ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
We also charge each Subaccount the daily equivalent of 0.125% annually to
cover its variable costs of administration (such as printing and distribution of
materials pertaining to Contract Owner meetings). This fee is not deducted from
the GIA, from Contracts sold to registered representatives of PEPCO or
broker-dealers with whom PEPCO has selling agreements, to officers, directors
and employees of Phoenix or its affiliates and their spouses or to employees or
agents who retire from Phoenix or its affiliates or PEPCO.
MATURITY DATE
The Maturity Date cannot be earlier than five years from the inception of
the Contract, nor later than the Contract anniversary nearest the Annuitant's
90th birthday.
OWNERSHIP OF THE CONTRACT
Joint ownership of the Contract is not permitted.

2. the Contract Value as of the Claim Date.
If the death benefit amount to be paid is less than $2,000, it will be paid
in a single lump sum (see "Annuity Options"). Depending upon state law, the
death benefit payment to the beneficiary may avoid probate and the death benefit
may be reduced by any premium tax due. See "Deductions and Charges--Premium
Tax." See also, "Federal Income Taxes--Distribution at Death."
TRANSFERS
A Contract Owner may request transfers or allocation changes in writing
only. Transfers or allocation changes may not be made by telephone.
GROUP CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contracts may be purchased by employers (or trusts) to fund tax-qualified
pension or profit-sharing plans such as defined contribution and defined benefit
plans ("Group Contracts"). Group Contracts may be purchased on an "allocated" or
"unallocated" basis. In most respects Group Contracts are the same as the
Contracts purchased on an individual basis described elsewhere in this
Prospectus; however, there are certain differences as described in this section.
We may limit the payments made under a Group Contract to $1,000,000 and reserve
the right to terminate a Group Contract after 20 years. Under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program, you may transfer approximately equal amounts from the GIA
over a period of 18 months or longer. Please note that Group Contracts cannot
participate in the optional Asset Rebalancing Program.
ALLOCATED GROUP CONTRACTS
Under an allocated Group Contract, the Contract Owner is the trust to whom
the Contract is issued. However, individual participant accounts are maintained
and the Contract Owner passes on certain rights to the plan participants such as
the right to choose Subaccounts, and transfer amounts between Subaccounts.
Under an allocated Group Contract, a minimum initial purchase payment of $25
per participant account is required. Subsequent payments per participant account
must be at least $25 and must total at least $300 per Contract year. The annual
administrative service charge under an allocated Group Contract is currently $15
per participant account; it is guaranteed not to exceed $30.
If withdrawals occur within a certain number of years after deposit, a
surrender charge will apply. (Please see description in section "Deductions and
Charges--Surrender Charges.") Allocated group contracts do not have a 10% free
withdrawal privilege. A surrender charge will not be applied if the withdrawal
is for one of the following:
[diamond] death of a participant
[diamond] disability
[diamond] demonstration of financial hardship
[diamond] separation from service or retirement (participant account has been
maintained for a minimum of 5 years or age 55 or older)
[diamond] participant loan
38
<PAGE>
[diamond] purchase of:
o annuity contract
o retired life certificate
o election of life expectancy distribution option
Under Group Contracts issued in New York, the surrender charge will not be
applied to amounts exceeding the total of payments made under the Contract
(calculated at their initial value). In addition, if the Contract has been in
force for at least 20 years and Phoenix terminates the Contract, no surrender
charge will apply.
Not more than four transfers may be made from the GIA in any Participant
Account Year and only one such transfer may be made in any 3-consecutive month
period. The amount of such transfers out of the GIA in any one Participant
Account Year may not exceed the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the Participant
Account Value in the GIA as of the last day of the prior Participant Account
Year.
Upon the death of a participant, a death benefit will be paid to the
Contract Owner. The Contract Owner may then distribute the death benefit in
accordance with the terms of the plan. If the death occurred during the first
six years following the Contract date, this payment would be equal to the
greater of: (a) the sum of all purchase payments made by the participant less
any prior withdrawals or (b) the participant's accumulated value under the
Contract. If the death occurred during any subsequent six-year period, this
payment would equal the greater of: (a) the death benefit that would have been
payable at the end of the immediately preceding six-year period, plus any
payments made and less any partial withdrawals since such date or (b) the
participant's accumulated value under the Contract.
Loans and hardship withdrawals will be available under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 Section 401(k) plans after January 1, 1996. If the plan permits
loans, a partial withdrawal from the participant's contract value may be
requested. The partial withdrawal for the loan must be at least $1,000 and the
participant's remaining contract value must be at least $2,000. A contingent
deferred sales charge will not apply to such a partial withdrawal. A $125
administrative charge per partial withdrawal will apply and this amount may be
increased in the future. Loan repayments, including any interest, will be
allocated to the participant's Subaccounts in the same proportion as new
payments. A plan loan partial withdrawal may not be made if a plan loan partial
withdrawal is currently outstanding with respect to that Participant.
UNALLOCATED GROUP CONTRACTS
Under an unallocated Group Contract, the Contract Owner is the trust to whom
the Contract is issued. The Contract Owner exercises all rights under the
Contract on behalf of plan participants; no participant accounts are maintained
under the Contract.
Under an unallocated Group Contract, a minimum initial purchase payment of
$5,000 is required and subsequent payments also must be at least $5,000. The
annual administrative service charge under an unallocated Group Contract is
currently $300; it is guaranteed not to exceed $500.
If amounts are withdrawn in the early Contract years, a surrender charge may
apply unless the withdrawal is for the payment of a plan benefit related to the
death or disability of a plan participant or the purchase of an individual
annuity contract or Life Expectancy Distribution option from Phoenix. A
deduction for a surrender charge for an unallocated Group Contract may be taken
from the proceeds of a withdrawal from, or complete surrender of, the Contract
if the withdrawal is not related to the payment of a plan benefit or the
purchase of an annuity as described above and the Contract has not been held for
a certain period of time (see chart below). However, withdrawals up to 15% of
the payments made under a Contract in the first Contract year and up to 15% of
the Contract Value as of the previous Contract anniversary may be made each year
without imposition of a surrender charge for payment of plan benefits related to
termination of employment or retirement. The deduction for surrender charges,
expressed as a percentage of the amount withdrawn in excess of the 15% allowable
amount, is as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Percent 6% 6% 6% 6% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Age of Payment 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10+
in Complete Years
- --------------------------------------------------------------
The total surrender charges on a Contract will never exceed 9% of the total
payments, and the applicable level of sales charge cannot be changed with
respect to outstanding Contracts.
Under Group Contracts issued in New York, the surrender charge will not be
applied to amounts exceeding the total of purchase payments made under the
Contract (calculated at their initial value). In addition, if the Contract has
been in force for at least 20 years and Phoenix terminates the Contract, no
surrender charge will apply.
Upon the death of a participant, a death benefit will be paid to the
Contract Owner. The Contract Owner may then distribute the death benefit in
accordance with the terms of the plan.
THE ANNUITY PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The annuity period is that period of time beginning after the end of the
accumulation period and during which payments to you are made.
VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Annuity payments will begin on the Contract's Maturity Date if the Annuitant
is alive and the Contract is still in force. Beginning on the Maturity Date,
investment in the Account is continued unless a Fixed Payment Annuity is
elected. No surrender charge is taken. Each Contract will provide, at the time
of its issuance, for a Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain
unless a different
39
<PAGE>
annuity option is elected by you. See "Annuity Options." Under a Variable
Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain, annuity payments, which may
vary in amount based on the performance of the Subaccount selected, are made
monthly for life and, if the Annuitant dies within 10 years after the Maturity
Date, the Annuitant's beneficiary will be paid the payments remaining in the
10-year period. A different form of annuity may be elected by you prior to the
Maturity Date. Once annuity payments have commenced, the Annuity Option may not
be changed.
If the amount to be applied on the Maturity Date is less than $2,000, we may
pay such amount in one lump sum in lieu of providing an annuity. If the initial
monthly annuity payment under an Annuity Option would be less than $20, we may
make a single sum payment equal to the total Contract Value on the date the
initial payment would be payable, or make periodic payments quarterly,
semiannually or annually in place of monthly payments.
Each Contract specifies a provisional Maturity Date at the time of its
issuance. You may subsequently elect a different Maturity Date. Generally, the
Maturity Date may not be earlier than the fifth Contract anniversary or later
than the Contract anniversary nearest the Annuitant's 95th birthday unless the
Contract is issued in connection with certain qualified plans. Generally, under
qualified plans, the Maturity Date must be such that distributions begin no
later than April 1st of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year
in which the employee attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the
employee retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to an IRA.
The Maturity Date election must be made by written notice and must be
received by VPMO 30 days before the provisional Maturity Date. If a Maturity
Date, which is different from the provisional Maturity Date, is not elected by
you, the provisional Maturity Date becomes the Maturity Date. Particular care
should be taken in electing the Maturity Date of a Contract issued under a Tax
Sheltered Annuity (TSA), a Keogh Plan or an IRA plan. See "Tax Sheltered
Annuities," "Keogh Plans" and "Individual Retirement Accounts."
ANNUITY OPTIONS
Unless an alternative annuity payment option is elected on or before the
Maturity Date, the amounts held under a Contract on the Maturity Date
automatically will be applied to provide a 10-year period certain variable
payment monthly life annuity based on the life of the Annuitant under Option I
described below. Any annuity payments falling due after the death of the
Annuitant during the period certain will be paid to the Annuitant's beneficiary.
Each annuity payment will be based upon the value of the Annuity Units credited
to the Contract. The number of Annuity Units in each Subaccount to be credited
is based on the value of the Accumulation Units in that Subaccount and the
applicable annuity payment rate. The Contract is issued with guaranteed minimum
annuity payment rates; however, if the current rate is higher, we'll apply the
higher rate. The payment rate differs according to the payment option selected
and the age of the Annuitant. The annuity payment rate is applied and will
determine all payments for the fixed annuity payment options and the first
payment for the variable annuity payment options. The value of the Annuity Units
will vary with the investment performance of each Subaccount to which Annuity
Units are credited. The initial payment will be calculated based on an assumed
investment return of 4 1/2% per year. This rate is a fulcrum return around which
variable annuity payments will vary to reflect whether actual investment
experience of the Subaccount is better or worse than the assumed investment
return. The assumed investment return and the calculation of variable income
payments for such 10-year period certain variable payment life annuity and for
Options J and K described below are described in more detail in the Contract and
in the SAI.
Instead of the 10-year period certain variable payment life annuity (see
"Option I--Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain"), you may,
by written request received by VPMO on or before the Maturity Date of the
Contract, elect any of the other annuity payment options described below. If the
Maturity date occurs in the first Contract Year, only Options I, J, K, L, M or N
may be elected. No surrender charge will be assessed under any annuity option,
unless unscheduled withdrawals are made under Annuity Options K or L.
The level of annuity payments payable under the following options is based
upon the option selected. In addition, such factors as the age at which payments
begin, the form of annuity, annuity payment rates, assumed investment rate (for
variable payment annuities) and the frequency of payments will effect the level
of annuity payments. The assumed investment rate is 4.5% per year. We use this
rate to determine the first payment under Variable Payment Annuity Options I, J,
K, M and N.
We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily
administrative fee from Contract Values held in the Subaccounts. See "Charges
For Mortality and Expense Risks" and "Charges for Administrative Services."
Therefore, electing Option K will result in a deduction being made even though
we assume no mortality risk under that option.
The following are descriptions of the annuity options available under a
Contract. These descriptions should allow you to understand the basic
differences between the options, however, you should contact VPMO well in
advance of the date you wish to elect an option to obtain estimates of payments
under each option.
OPTION A--LIFE ANNUITY WITH SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a monthly income for the life of the Annuitant. In the event of
death of the Annuitant, the annuity income will be paid to the beneficiary until
the end of the specified period certain. For example, a 10-year period certain
will provide a total of 120 monthly payments. The certain period may be 5, 10 or
20 years.
40
<PAGE>
OPTION B--NON-REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of the Annuitant. No income is
payable after the death of the Annuitant.
OPTION C--DISCONTINUED
OPTION D--JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the lifetimes of both the Annuitant and a
joint annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the
Annuitant or joint annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of
the survivor. The amount to be paid to the survivor is 100% of the amount of the
joint annuity payment, as elected at the time the annuity option is chosen. No
income is payable after the death of the surviving annuitant.
Under Option D, the joint annuitant must be named at the time the option is
elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted
age of 40, as defined in the Contract.
OPTION E--INSTALLMENT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the life of the Annuitant. In the event of the
Annuitant's death, the annuity income will continue to the Annuitant's
beneficiary until the amount applied to purchase the annuity has been
distributed.
OPTION F--JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of both the Annuitant and a joint
annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the
Annuitant or joint annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of
the survivor. If the survivor dies prior to the end of the 10-year period, the
annuity income will continue to the named beneficiary until the end of the
10-year period certain.
Under Option F, the joint annuitant must be named at the time the option is
elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted
age of 40, as defined in the Contract.
OPTION G--PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD
Provides equal income installments for a specified period of years whether
the Annuitant lives or dies. Any specified whole number of years from 5 to 30
years may be elected.
OPTION H--PAYMENTS OF SPECIFIED AMOUNT
Provides equal installments of a specified amount over a period of at least
five years. The specified amount may not be greater than the total annuity
amount divided by five annual installment payments. If the Annuitant dies prior
to the end of the elected period certain, annuity payments will continue to the
Annuitant's beneficiary until the end of the elected period certain.
OPTION I--VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
Unless another annuity option has been elected, this option will
automatically apply to any Contract proceeds payable on the Maturity Date. It
provides a variable payout monthly annuity based on the life of the Annuitant.
In the event of the death of the Annuitant, the annuity payments are made to the
Annuitant's beneficiary until the end of the 10-year period. The 10-year period
provides a total of 120 monthly payments. Payments will vary as to dollar
amount, based on the investment experience of the Subaccounts in which proceeds
are invested.
OPTION J--JOINT SURVIVOR VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD
CERTAIN
Provides a variable payout monthly annuity while the Annuitant and the
designated joint annuitant are living and continues thereafter during the
lifetime of the survivor or, if later, until the end of a 10-year period
certain. Payments will vary as to dollar amount, based on the investment
experience of the Subaccounts in which proceeds are invested. The joint
annuitant must be named at the time the option is elected and cannot be changed.
The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted age of 40, as defined in the
Contract. This option is not available for payment of any death benefit under
the Contract.
OPTION K--VARIABLE PAYMENT ANNUITY FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD
Provides variable payout monthly income installments for a specified period
of time, whether the Annuitant lives or dies. The period certain specified must
be in whole numbers of years from 5 to 30. However, the period certain selected
by the beneficiary of any death benefit under the Contract may not extend beyond
the life expectancy of such beneficiary. A Contract Owner may at anytime request
unscheduled withdrawals representing part or all of the remaining Contract Value
less any applicable contingent deferred surrender charge.
OPTION L--VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE EXPECTANCY ANNUITY
Provides a variable payout monthly income payable over the Annuitant's
annually recalculated life expectancy or the annually recalculated life
expectancy of the Annuitant and joint annuitant. A Contract Owner may at anytime
request unscheduled withdrawals representing part or all of the remaining
Contract Value less any applicable contingent deferred surrender charge. Upon
the death of the Annuitant (and joint annuitant, if there is a joint annuitant),
the remaining Contract Value will be paid in a lump sum to the Annuitant's
beneficiary.
OPTION M--UNIT REFUND VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY
Provides variable monthly payments as long as the Annuitant lives. If the
Annuitant dies, the Annuitant's beneficiary will receive the value of the
remaining Annuity Units in a lump sum.
OPTION N--VARIABLE PAYMENT NON-REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a variable monthly income for the life of the Annuitant. No income
or payment to a beneficiary is paid after the death of the Annuitant.
OTHER OPTIONS AND RATES
We may offer other annuity options at the time a Contract reaches its
Maturity Date. In addition, in the event
41
<PAGE>
that annuity payment rates for Contracts are at that time more favorable than
the applicable rates guaranteed under the Contract, the then current settlement
rates shall be used in determining the amount of any annuity payment under the
Annuity Options above.
OTHER CONDITIONS
Federal income tax requirements currently applicable to most qualified plans
provide that the period of years guaranteed under joint and survivorship
annuities with specified periods certain (see "Option F" and "Option J" above)
cannot be any greater than the joint life expectancies of the payee and his or
her spouse.
Federal income tax requirements also provide that participants in regular or
SIMPLE IRAs must begin minimum distributions by April 1 of the year following
the year in which they attain age 70 1/2. Minimum distribution requirements do
not apply to Roth IRAs. Distributions from qualified plans generally must begin
by the later of actual retirement or April 1 of the year following the year
participants attain age 70 1/2. Any required minimum distributions must be such
that the full amount in the contract will be distributed over a period not
greater than the participant's life expectancy, or the combined life expectancy
of the participant and his or her spouse or designated beneficiary.
Distributions made under this method are generally referred to as Life
Expectancy Distributions ("LEDs"). An LED program is available to participants
in qualified plans or IRAs. Requests to elect this program must be made in
writing.
Under the LED program, regardless of Contract year, amounts up to the
required minimum distribution may be withdrawn without a deduction for surrender
charges, even if the minimum distribution exceeds the 10% allowable amount. See
"Surrender Charges." Any amounts withdrawn that have not been held under a
Contract for at least six years and are in excess of both the minimum
distribution and the 10% free available amount will be subject to any applicable
surrender charge.
If the initial monthly annuity payment under an Annuity Option would be less
than $20, we may make a single sum payment equal to the Contract Value on the
date the initial payment would be payable, in place of all other benefits
provided by the Contract, or, may make periodic payments quarterly, semiannually
or annually in place of monthly payments.
Currently, transfers between Subaccounts are not available for amounts
allocated to any of the variable payment annuity options.
PAYMENT UPON DEATH AFTER MATURITY DATE
If an Owner who also is the Annuitant dies on or after the Maturity Date,
except as may otherwise be provided under any supplementary contract between the
Owner and us, we will pay to the Owner/Annuitant's beneficiary any annuity
payments due during any applicable period certain under the Annuity Option in
effect on the Annuitant's death. If the Annuitant who is not the Owner dies on
or after the Maturity Date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the
Annuitant's beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of
the Annuitant's death. If an Owner who is not the Annuitant dies on or after the
Maturity Date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the Owner's
beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of the Owner's
death.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT VALUATION PROCEDURES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUATION DATE
A Valuation Date is every day the NYSE is open for trading and we are open
for business. On each Valuation Date, the value of the Account is determined at
the close of the NYSE (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
VALUATION PERIOD
Valuation Period is that period of time from the beginning of the day
following a Valuation Date to the end of the next following Valuation Date.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The value of one Accumulation Unit was set at $1.0000 on the date assets
were first allocated to a Subaccount. The value of one Accumulation Unit on any
subsequent Valuation Date is determined by multiplying the immediately preceding
Accumulation Unit Value by the applicable Net Investment Factor for the
Valuation Period ending on such Valuation Date. After the first Valuation
Period, the Accumulation Unit Value reflects the cumulative investment
experience of that Subaccount.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for any Valuation Period is equal to 1.000000 plus
the applicable net investment rate for such Valuation Period. A Net Investment
Factor may be more or less than 1.000000 depending on whether the assets gained
or lost value that day. To determine the net investment rate for any Valuation
Period for the Funds allocated to each Subaccount, the following steps are
taken: (a) the aggregate accrued investment income and capital gains and losses,
whether realized or unrealized, of the Subaccount for such Valuation Period is
computed, (b) the amount in (a) is then adjusted by the sum of the charges and
credits for any applicable income taxes and the deductions at the beginning of
the Valuation Period for mortality and expense risk charges and daily
administration fee, and (c) the results of (a) as adjusted by (b) are divided by
the aggregate Unit Values in the Subaccount at the beginning of the Valuation
Period.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSIGNMENT
Owners of Contracts issued in connection with non-tax qualified plans may
assign their interest in the Contract without the consent of the beneficiary. A
written notice of
42
<PAGE>
such assignment must be filed with VPMO before it will be honored.
A pledge or assignment of a Contract is treated as payment received on
account of a partial surrender of a Contract. See "Surrenders or Withdrawals
Prior to the Contract Maturity Date."
In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment, Contracts issued in
connection with tax qualified plans may not be sold, assigned, discounted or
pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an
obligation, or for any other purpose, to any person other than to us.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENT
Payment of the Contract Value in a single sum upon a withdrawal from, or
complete surrender of, a Contract ordinarily will be made within seven days
after receipt of the written request by VPMO. However, we may postpone payment
of the value of any Accumulation Units at times (a) when the NYSE is closed,
other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (b) when trading on the NYSE
is restricted, (c) when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of
securities in the Fund is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the Contract Value or (d) when a governmental body
having jurisdiction over us by order permits such suspension. Rules and
regulations of the SEC, if any, are applicable and will govern as to whether
conditions described in (b), (c) or (d) exist.
FREE LOOK PERIOD
We may mail the contract to you or we may deliver it to you in person. You
may surrender a contract for any reason within 10 days after you receive it and
receive in cash the adjusted value of your initial payment. (A longer Free Look
Period may be required by your state.) You may receive more or less than the
initial payment depending on investment experience within the subaccounts during
the Free Look Period. If a portion or all of your initial payment has been
allocated to the GIA, we also will refund any earned interest. If applicable
state law requires, we will return the full amount of any payments we received.
During periods of extreme market volatility, we reserve the right to make
the Temporary Money Market Allocation Amendment available. In states that
require return of premium during the Free Look Period, we will allocate those
portions of your initial payment designated for the subaccounts to the
Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount and those portions designated for the
GIA will be allocated to that Account. At the expiration of the Free Look
Period, the value of the accumulation units held in the Phoenix-Goodwin Money
Market Subaccount will be allocated among the available subaccounts in
accordance with your allocation instructions on the application.
AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACTS
Contracts may be amended to conform to changes in applicable law or
interpretations of applicable law, or to accommodate design changes. Changes in
the Contract may need to be approved by Contract Owners and state insurance
departments. A change in the Contract which necessitates a corresponding change
in the Prospectus or the SAI must be filed with the SEC.
SUBSTITUTION OF FUND SHARES
Although we believe it to be highly unlikely, it is possible that in the
judgment of our management, one or more of the Series of the Funds may become
unsuitable for investment by Contract Owners because of a change in investment
policy, or a change in the income tax laws, or because the shares are no longer
available for investment. In that event, we may seek to substitute the shares of
another Series or the shares of an entirely different fund. Before this can be
done, the approval of the SEC, and possibly one or more state insurance
departments, will be required.
OWNERSHIP OF THE CONTRACT
Ordinarily, the purchaser of a Contract is both the Owner and the Annuitant
and is entitled to exercise all the rights under the Contract. However, the
Owner may be an individual or entity other than the Annuitant. Spouses may own a
Contract as joint Owners. Transfer of the ownership of a Contract may involve
federal income tax consequences, and a qualified adviser should be consulted
before any such transfer is attempted.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
The Contracts are designed for use with retirement plans which may or may
not be tax-qualified plans ("Qualified Plans") under the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"). The ultimate effect of federal
income taxes on the amounts held under a Contract, on annuity payments and on
the economic benefits of the Contract Owner, Annuitant or beneficiary depends on
our tax status, on the type of retirement plan for which the Contract is
purchased, and upon the income tax and employment status of the individual
concerned.
The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax
advice. The income tax rules are complicated and this discussion can only make
you aware of the issues. Each person concerned should consult a professional tax
advisor. No attempt is made to consider any estate or inheritance taxes or any
applicable state, local or other tax laws. Moreover, the discussion is based
upon our understanding of the federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation
of the federal income tax laws or the current interpretations by the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS"). We do not guarantee the tax status of the
Contracts. Purchasers bear the complete risk that the Contracts may not be
treated as "annuity contracts" under federal income tax laws. For a discussion
of federal income taxes as they relate to the Funds, please see the accompanying
prospectuses for the Funds.
43
<PAGE>
INCOME TAX STATUS
Phoenix is taxed as a life insurance company under Part 1 of Subchapter L of
the Code. Since the Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix and its
operations form a part of Phoenix, it will not be taxed separately as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income
and realized capital gains on the assets of the Account are reinvested and taken
into account in determining the Contract Value. Under existing federal income
tax law, the Account's investment income, including realized net capital gains,
is not taxed to Phoenix. We reserve the right to make a deduction for taxes
should they be imposed on us with respect to such items in the future.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL--NON-QUALIFIED PLANS
Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities. In general, a Contract
Owner is not taxed on increases in value of the Units held under a Contract
until some form of distribution is made. However, in certain cases the increase
in value may be subject to income tax currently. In the case of Contracts not
owned by natural persons, see "Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons." In the
case of Contracts not meeting the diversification requirements, see
"Diversification Standards."
SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE CONTRACT MATURITY DATE
Code Section 72 provides that a total or partial surrender from a Contract
prior to the Contract Maturity Date will be treated as taxable income to the
extent the amounts held under the Contract exceed the "investment in the
Contract." The "investment in the Contract" is that portion, if any, of payments
(premiums paid) by or on behalf of an individual under a Contract that have not
been excluded from the individual's gross income. However, under certain types
of Qualified Plans there may be no investment in the Contract within the meaning
of Code Section 72, so that the total amount of all payments received will be
taxable. The taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income in an amount equal to
the value of the amount received on account of a total or partial surrender of a
Contract. For purposes of this rule, a pledge or assignment of a Contract is
treated as a payment received on account of a partial surrender of a Contract.
SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS ON OR AFTER THE CONTRACT MATURITY DATE
Upon receipt of a lump sum payment under the Contract, the recipient is
taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the investment in the Contract.
Ordinarily, such taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income. Under certain
circumstances, the proceeds of a surrender of a Contract may qualify for "lump
sum distribution" treatment under Qualified Plans. See your tax adviser if you
think you may qualify for "lump sum distribution" treatment. The 5-year
averaging rule for lump sum distribution has been repealed for tax years
beginning after 1999.
For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is
determined by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio," which establishes
the ratio that the investment in the Contract bears to the total expected amount
of annuity payments for the term of the Contract. That ratio is then applied to
each payment to determine the non-taxable portion of the payment. The remaining
portion of each payment is taxed as ordinary income. For variable annuity
payments, the taxable portion is determined by a formula that establishes a
specific dollar amount of each payment that is not taxed. The dollar amount is
determined by dividing the investment in the Contract by the total number of
expected periodic payments. The remaining portion of each payment is taxed as
ordinary income. Once the excludable portion of annuity payments equals the
investment in the Contract, the balance of the annuity payments will be fully
taxable. For certain types of qualified plans, there may be no investment in the
Contract resulting in the full amount of the payments being taxable. A
simplified method of determining the exclusion ratio is effective with respect
to qualified plan annuities starting after November 18, 1996.
Withholding of federal income taxes on all distributions may be required
unless the recipient elects not to have any amounts withheld and properly
notifies VPMO of that election.
PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS
Amounts surrendered or distributed before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2
are subject to a penalty tax equal to ten percent (10%) of the portion of such
amount that is includable in gross income. However, the penalty tax will not
apply to withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the Contract Owner (or
where the Contract Owner is not an individual, the death of the "Primary
Annuitant," who is defined as the individual the events in whose life are of
primary importance in affecting the timing and amount of the payout under the
Contract); (ii) attributable to the taxpayer's becoming totally disabled within
the meaning of Code Section 72(m)(7); (iii) which are part of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments made (not less frequently than annually)
for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer, or the joint lives (or joint
life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary; (iv) from certain
qualified plans (such distributions may, however, be subject to a similar
penalty under Code Section 72(t) relating to distributions from qualified
retirement plans and to a special penalty of 25% applicable specifically to
SIMPLE IRAs or other special penalties applicable to Roth IRAs); (v) allocable
to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982; (vi) under a qualified
funding asset (as defined in Code Section 130(d)); (vii) under an immediate
annuity contract (as defined in Code Section 72(u)(4)); or (viii) that are
purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of qualified plans and
which are held by the employer until the employee separates from service.
If the penalty tax does not apply to a withdrawal as a result of the
application of item (iii) above, and the series of
44
<PAGE>
payments are subsequently modified (other than by reason of death or
disability), the tax for the first year when the modification occurs will be
increased by an amount (determined by the Treasury regulations) equal to the tax
that would have been imposed but for item (iii) above, plus interest for the
deferral period, but only if the modification takes place: (a) within 5 years
from the date of the first payment, or (b) before the taxpayer reaches age
59 1/2.
Separate tax withdrawal penalties apply to Qualified Plans. See "Penalty Tax
on Surrenders and Withdrawals from Qualified Contracts."
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax
purposes, a Contract must provide the following two distribution rules: (a) if
the Contract Owner dies on or after the Contract Maturity Date, and before the
entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the remainder of the
Contract Owner's interest will be distributed at least as quickly as the method
in effect on the Contract Owner's death; and (b) if a Contract Owner dies before
the Contract Maturity Date, the Contract Owner's entire interest generally must
be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or if payable to a
designated beneficiary, may be annuitized over the life or life expectancy of
that beneficiary and payments must begin within one (1) year after the Contract
Owner's date of death. If the beneficiary is the spouse of the Contract Owner,
the Contract (together with the deferral of tax on the accrued and future income
thereunder) may be continued in the name of the spouse as Contract Owner.
Similar distribution requirements apply to annuity contracts under Qualified
Plans (other than Code Section 457 Plans). However, a number of restrictions,
limitations and special rules apply to qualified plans and Contract Owners
should consult with their tax adviser.
If the Annuitant, who is not the Contract Owner, dies before the Maturity
Date and there is no Contingent Annuitant, the Annuitant's beneficiary must
elect within 60 days whether to receive the death benefit in a lump sum or in
periodic payments commencing within one (1) year.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual, the death of the primary
Annuitant is treated as the death of the Contract Owner. In addition, when the
Contract Owner is not an individual, a change in the primary Annuitant is
treated as the death of the Contract Owner. Finally, in the case of non-spousal
joint Contract Owners, distribution will be required at the death of the first
of the Contract Owners.
If the Contract Owner or a Joint Contract Owner dies on or after the
Maturity Date, the remaining payments, if any, under the Annuity Option selected
will be made at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect
at the time of death.
TRANSFER OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Transfers of non-qualified Contracts prior to the Maturity Date for less
than full and adequate consideration to the Contract Owner at the time of such
transfer, will trigger tax on the gain in the Contract, with the transferee
getting a step-up in basis for the amount included in the Contract Owner's
income. This provision does not apply to transfers between spouses or incident
to a divorce.
CONTRACTS OWNED BY NON-NATURAL PERSONS
If the Contract is held by a non-natural person (for example, a corporation)
the income on that Contract (generally the increase in the net surrender value
less the premium paid) is includable in income each year. The rule does not
apply where the non-natural person is the nominal owner of a Contract and the
beneficial owner is a natural person. The rule also does not apply where the
annuity contract is acquired by the estate of a decedent, where the Contract is
held under a qualified plan, a TSA program or an IRA, where the Contract is a
qualified funding asset for structured settlements, or where the Contract is
purchased on behalf of an employee upon termination of a qualified plan, and nor
if the annuity contract is an immediate annuity.
SECTION 1035 EXCHANGES
Code Section 1035 provides, in general, that no gain or loss shall be
recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another. A replacement
contract obtained in a tax-free exchange of contracts generally succeeds to the
status of the surrendered contract. If the surrendered contract was issued prior
to August 14, 1982, the tax rules that formerly provided that the surrender was
taxable only to the extent the amount received exceeds the Contract Owner's
investment in the Contract, will continue to apply. In contrast, Contracts
issued on or after January 19, 1985 are, in a Code Section 1035 exchange,
treated as new Contracts for purposes of the distribution-at-death rules.
Special rules and procedures apply to Code Section 1035 transactions.
Prospective Contract Owners wishing to take advantage of Code Section 1035
should consult their tax advisers.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
Code Section 72(e)(11)(A)(ii) provides that for Contracts entered into after
October 21, 1988, for purposes of determining the amount of any distribution
under Code Section 72(e) (amounts not received as annuities) that is includable
in gross income, all non-qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same
insurer (or affiliate) to the same Contract Owner during any calendar year are
to be aggregated and treated as one contract. Thus, any amount received under
any such contract prior to the Contract Maturity Date, such as a withdrawal,
dividend or loan, will be taxable (and possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax)
to the extent of the combined income in all such contracts.
The Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations that
prevent the avoidance of Code Section
45
<PAGE>
72(e) through the serial purchase of annuity contracts or otherwise. In
addition, there may be situations where the Treasury may conclude that it would
be appropriate to aggregate two or more contracts purchased by the same Contract
Owner. Accordingly, a Contract Owner should consult a competent tax adviser
before purchasing more than one Contract or other annuity contracts.
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
DIVERSIFICATION REGULATIONS
To comply with the diversification regulations under Code Section 817(h)
("Diversification Regulations"), after a start-up period, each Series of the
Funds will be required to diversify its investments. The Diversification
Regulations generally require that, on the last day of each calendar quarter
that the Series' assets be invested in no more than:
[diamond] 55% in any 1 investment
[diamond] 70% in any 2 investments
[diamond] 80% in any 3 investments
[diamond] 90% in any 4 investments
A "look-through" rule applies to treat a pro rata portion of each asset of a
Series as an asset of the Account, and each Series of the Funds are tested for
compliance with the percentage limitations. All securities of the same issuer
are treated as a single investment. As a result of the 1988 Act, each government
agency or instrumentality will be treated as a separate issuer for purposes of
these limitations.
The U.S. Treasury Department has indicated that the Diversification
Regulations do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which
Contract Owner control of the investments of the Account will cause the Contract
Owner to be treated as the owner of the assets of the Account, thereby resulting
in the loss of favorable tax treatment for the Contract. At this time, it cannot
be determined whether additional guidance will be provided and what standards
may be contained in such guidance. The amount of Contract Owner control which
may be exercised under the Contract is different in some respects from the
situations addressed in published rulings issued by the IRS in which was held
that the policyowner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account. It
is unknown whether these differences, such as the Contract Owner's ability to
transfer among investment choices or the number and type of investment choices
available, would cause the Contract Owner to be considered as the Owner of the
assets of the Account resulting in the imposition of federal income tax to the
Contract Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to
receipt of payments under the Contract.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set forth a
new position, such guidance or ruling generally will be applied only
prospectively. However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set
forth a new position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the Contract
Owner being retroactively determined to be the Owner of the assets of the
Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, we reserve the right to modify the
Contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
Phoenix has represented that it intends to comply with the Diversification
Regulations to assure that the Contracts continue to be treated as annuity
contracts for federal income tax purposes.
DIVERSIFICATION REGULATIONS AND QUALIFIED PLANS
Code Section 817(h) applies to a variable annuity contract other than a
pension plan contract. The Diversification Regulations reiterate that the
diversification requirements do not apply to a pension plan contract. All of the
Qualified Plans (described below) are defined as pension plan contracts for
these purposes. Notwithstanding the exception of Qualified Plan Contracts from
application of the diversification rules, all investments of the Phoenix
Qualified Plan Contracts (i.e., the Funds) will be structured to comply with the
diversification standards because the Funds serve as the investment vehicle for
non-qualified Contracts as well as Qualified Plan Contracts.
QUALIFIED PLANS
The Contracts may be used with several types of Qualified Plans. TSAs,
Keoghs, IRAs, Corporate Pension and Profit-sharing Plans and State Deferred
Compensation Plans will be treated, for purposes of this discussion, as
Qualified Plans. The tax rules applicable to participants in such Qualified
Plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the
plan itself. No attempt is made here to provide more than general information
about the use of the Contracts with the various types of Qualified Plans.
Participants under such Qualified Plans as well as Contract Owners, Annuitants
and beneficiaries, are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits
under such Qualified Plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the
plans themselves or limited by applicable law, regardless of the terms and
conditions of the Contract issued in connection therewith. For example, we will
accept beneficiary designations and payment instructions under the terms of the
Contract without regard to any spousal consents that may be required under the
Retirement Equity Act (REA). Consequently, a Contract Owner's beneficiary
designation or elected payment option may not be enforceable.
Effective January 1, 1993, Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code was
amended to change the roll-over rules applicable to the taxable portions of
distributions from qualified pension and profit-sharing plans and Section 403(b)
TSA arrangements. Taxable distributions eligible to be rolled over generally
will be subject to 20% income tax withholding. Mandatory withholding can be
avoided only if the employee arranges for a direct rollover to another qualified
pension or profit-sharing plan or to an IRA.
46
<PAGE>
The new mandatory withholding rules apply to all taxable distributions from
qualified plans or TSAs (not including IRAs), except (a) distributions required
under the Code, (b) substantially equal distributions made over the life (or
life expectancy) of the employee, or for a term certain of 10 years or more and
(c) the portion of distributions not includable in gross income (i.e., return of
after-tax contributions).
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V.
NORRIS that optional annuity benefits provided under an employer's deferred
compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
vary between men and women. The Contracts we sell in connection with certain
Qualified Plans will utilize annuity tables which do not differentiate on the
basis of sex. Such annuity tables also will be available for use in connection
with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
Numerous changes have been made to the income tax rules governing Qualified
Plans as a result of legislation enacted during the past several years,
including rules with respect to: coverage, participation, maximum contributions,
required distributions, penalty taxes on early or insufficient distributions and
income tax withholding on distributions. The following are general descriptions
of the various types of Qualified Plans and of the use of the contracts in
connection therewith.
TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES ("TSAS")
Code Section 403(b) permits public school systems and certain types of
charitable, educational and scientific organizations, generally specified in
Code Section 501(c)(3) to purchase annuity contracts on behalf of their
employees and, subject to certain limitations, allows employees of those
organizations to exclude the amount of payments from gross income for federal
income tax purposes. These annuity contracts are commonly referred to as TSAs.
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1988, Code Section 403(b)(11)
imposes certain restrictions on a Contract Owner's ability to make partial
withdrawals from, or surrenders of, Code Section 403(b) Contracts, if the cash
withdrawn is attributable to payments made under a salary reduction agreement.
Specifically, Code Section 403(b)(11) allows a Contract Owner to make a
surrender or partial withdrawal only (a) when the employee attains age 59 1/2,
separates from service, dies or becomes disabled (as defined in the Code), or
(b) in the case of hardship. In the case of hardship, the distribution amount
cannot include any income earned under the Contract.
The 1988 Act amended the effective date of Code Section 403(b)(11), so that
it applies only with respect to distributions from Code Section 403(b) Contracts
which are attributable to assets other than assets held as of the close of the
last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Thus, the distribution restrictions
do not apply to assets held as of December 31, 1988.
In addition, in order for certain types of contributions under a Code
Section 403(b) Contract to be excluded from taxable income, the employer must
comply with certain nondiscrimination requirements. Contract Owners should
consult their employers to determine whether the employer has complied with
these rules. Contract Owner loans are not allowed under the Contracts.
Effective May 4, 1998, loans may be made available under Internal Revenue
Code Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity programs. If the program permits
loans, a loan from the participant's contract value may be requested. The loan
must at least $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the greater of: (a) 90% of
the first $10,000 of Contract Value minus any contingent deferred surrender
charge; and (b) 50% of the Contract Value minus any contingent deferred
surrender charge. The maximum loan amount is $50,000. If loans are outstanding
from any other tax-qualified plan then the maximum loan amount of the contract
may be reduced from the amount stated above in order to comply with the maximum
loan amount requirements under Section 72(p) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Amounts borrowed from the GIA are subject to the same limitations as applies to
transfers from the GIA; thus no more than the greater of $1,000 and 25% of the
contract value in the GIA may be borrowed at any one time.
Loan repayments will first pay any accrued loan interest. The balance will
be applied to reduce the outstanding loan balance and will also reduce the
amount of the Loan Security Account by the same amount that the outstanding loan
balance is reduced. The balance of loan repayments, after payment of accrued
loan interest, will be credited to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account or
the GIA in accordance with the participant's most recent premium allocation on
file with us.
If a loan repayment is not received by us before 90 days after the payment
was due, then the entire loan balance plus accrued interest will be in default.
In the case of default, the outstanding loan balance plus accrued interest will
be deemed a distribution for income tax purposes, and will be reported as such
to the extent required by law. At the time of such deemed distribution, interest
will continue to accrue until such time as an actual distribution occurs under
the Contract.
KEOGH PLANS
The Self-Employed Individual Tax Retirement Act of 1962, as amended, permits
self-employed individuals to establish "Keoghs" or qualified plans for
themselves and their employees. The tax consequences to participants under such
a plan depend upon the terms of the plan. In addition, such plans are limited by
law with respect to the maximum permissible contributions, distribution dates,
nonforfeitability of interests, and tax rates applicable to distributions. In
order to establish such a plan, a plan document must be adopted and implemented
by the employer, as well as approved by the IRS.
47
<PAGE>
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Code Sections 408 and 408A permit eligible individuals to contribute to an
individual retirement program known as an "IRA." These IRAs are subject to
limitations on the amount which may be contributed, the persons who may be
eligible and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition,
distributions from certain other types of Qualified Plans may be placed on a
tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Effective January 1, 1997, employers may
establish a new type of IRA called SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for
Employees). Special rules apply to participants' contributions to and
withdrawals from SIMPLE IRAs. Also effective January 1, 1997, salary reduction
IRAs (SARSEP) no longer may be established. Effective January 1, 1998,
individuals may establish Roth IRAs. Special rules also apply to contributions
to and withdrawals from Roth IRAs.
CORPORATE PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
Code Section 401(a) permits corporate employers to establish various types
of retirement plans for employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase
of Contracts to provide benefits thereunder.
These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide
benefits under the Plan. Contributions to the Plan for the benefit of employees
will not be includable in the gross income of the employee until distributed
from the Plan. The tax consequences to participants may vary depending upon the
particular Plan design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on
all Plans, including on items such as: amount of allowable contributions; form,
manner and timing of distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and
nonforfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and
participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and
surrenders. Participant loans are not allowed under the Contracts purchased in
connection with these Plans. Purchasers of Contracts for use with Corporate
Pension or Profit-sharing Plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax
treatment and suitability of such an investment.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS WITH RESPECT TO SERVICE FOR STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS
Code Section 457 provides for certain deferred compensation plans with
respect to service for state and local governments and certain other entities.
The Contracts may be used in connection with these plans; however, under these
plans if issued to tax exempt organizations, the Contract Owner is the plan
sponsor, and the individual participants in the plans are the Annuitants. Under
such Contracts, the rights of individual plan participants are governed solely
by their agreements with the plan sponsor and not by the terms of the Contracts.
Effective in 1997 for new state and local government plans, such plans must be
funded through a tax exempt annuity contract held for the exclusive benefit of
plan participants.
PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS FROM QUALIFIED PLANS
In the case of a withdrawal under a Qualified Plan, a ratable portion of the
amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual's
cost basis to the individual's total accrued benefit under the retirement plan.
Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from a Qualified
Plan. Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion
of any distribution from qualified retirement plans, including Contracts issued
and qualified under Code Sections 401 (Keogh and Corporate Pension and
Profit-sharing Plans), Tax-Sheltered Annuities and Individual Retirement
Annuities other than Roth IRAs. The penalty is increased to 25% instead of 10%
for SIMPLE IRAs if distribution occurs within the first two years of the
Contract Owner's participation in the SIMPLE IRA. To the extent amounts are not
includable in gross income because they have been properly rolled over to an IRA
or to another eligible Qualified Plan, no tax penalty will be imposed. The tax
penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (a) if distribution is
made on or after the date on which the Contract Owner or Annuitant (as
applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (b) distributions following the death or
disability of the Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose
disability is as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (c) after separation
from service, distributions that are part of substantially equal periodic
payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) or the joint
lives (or joint life expectancies) of such Contract Owner or Annuitant (as
applicable) and his or her designated beneficiary; (d) distributions to a
Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) who has separated from service after
he has attained age 55; (e) distributions made to the Contract Owner or
Annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the
amount allowable as a deduction under Code Section 213 to the Contract Owner or
Annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable year for medical
care; (f) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order; (g) distributions from an IRA for the purchase of
medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the
Contract Owner and his or her spouse and dependents if the Contract Owner has
received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks; and (h) distributions
from IRAs for first-time home purchase expenses (maximum $10,000) or certain
qualified educational expenses of the Contract Owner, spouse, children or
grandchildren of the Contract Owner. This exception will no longer apply after
the Contract Owner has been reemployed for at least 60 days. The exceptions
stated in items (d) and (f) above do not apply in the case of an IRA. The
exception stated in item (c) applies to an IRA without the requirement that
there be a separation from service.
Generally, distributions from a Qualified Plan must commence no later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year in which the
employee
48
<PAGE>
attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the employee
retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to a regular or SIMPLE IRA and
the required distribution rules do not apply to Roth IRAs. Required
distributions must be over a period not exceeding the life expectancy of the
individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the individual and his or
her designated beneficiary. If the required minimum distributions are not made,
a 50% penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed.
SEEK TAX ADVICE
The above description of federal income tax consequences of the different
types of Qualified Plans which may be funded by the Contracts offered by this
Prospectus is only a brief summary meant to alert you to the issues and is not
intended as tax advice. The rules governing the provisions of Qualified Plans
are extremely complex and often difficult to comprehend. Anything less than full
compliance with the applicable rules, all of which are subject to change, may
have adverse tax consequences. A prospective Contract Owner considering adoption
of a Qualified Plan and purchase of a Contract in connection therewith should
first consult a qualified tax adviser, with regard to the suitability of the
Contract as an investment vehicle for the Qualified Plan.
SALES OF VARIABLE ACCUMULATION CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The principal underwriter of the Contracts is PEPCO. Contracts may be
purchased through registered representatives of W.S. Griffith & Company, Inc.
("WSG") who are licensed to sell our annuity contracts. WSG is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix. PEPCO is an indirect, majority owned
subsidiary of Phoenix. Contracts also may be purchased through other
broker-dealers or entities registered under or exempt under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, whose representatives are authorized by applicable law to
sell Contracts under terms of agreement provided by PEPCO and terms of agreement
provided by Phoenix.
In addition to reimbursing PEPCO for its expenses, we pay PEPCO an amount
equal to up to 7.25% of the payments made under the Contract. PEPCO pays any
qualified distribution organization an amount which may not exceed 7.25% of the
payments under the Contract. Any such amount paid with respect to Contracts sold
through other broker-dealers will be paid by us to or through PEPCO. The amounts
paid are not deducted from the payments. Deductions for surrender charges (as
described under "Surrender Charges") may be used as reimbursement for commission
payments.
Although the Glass-Steagall Act prohibits banks and bank affiliates from
engaging in the business of underwriting securities, banking regulators have not
indicated that such institutions are prohibited from purchasing variable annuity
contracts upon the order and for the account of their customers.
STATE REGULATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phoenix is subject to the provisions of New York insurance laws applicable
to life insurance companies and to regulation and supervision by the New York
Superintendent of Insurance. Phoenix also is subject to the applicable insurance
laws of all the other states and jurisdictions in which it does an insurance
business.
State regulation of Phoenix includes certain limitations on the investments
which may be made for its General Account and separate accounts, including the
Account. It does not include, however, any supervision over the investment
policies of the Account.
REPORTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports showing the Contract Value and containing the financial statements
of the Account will be furnished to you at least annually.
VOTING RIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As stated above, all of the assets held in an available Subaccount will be
invested in shares of a corresponding Series of the Funds. Phoenix is the legal
owner of those shares and as such has the right to vote to elect the Board of
Trustees of the Funds, to vote upon certain matters that are required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") to be approved or ratified by the
shareholders of a mutual fund and to vote upon any other matter that may be
voted upon at a shareholders' meeting. However, we intend to vote the shares of
the Funds at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of the Funds in
accordance with instructions received from Owners of the Contracts.
We currently intend to vote Fund shares attributable to any of our assets
and Fund shares held in each Subaccount for which no timely instructions from
Owners are received in the same proportion as those shares in that Subaccount
for which instructions are received. In the future, to the extent applicable
federal securities laws or regulations permit us to vote some or all shares of
the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Matters on which Owners may give voting instructions may include the
following: (1) election of the Board of Trustees of a Fund; (2) ratification of
the independent accountant for a Fund; (3) approval or amendment of the
investment advisory agreement for the Series of the Fund corresponding to the
Owner's selected Subaccount(s); (4) any change in the fundamental investment
policies or restrictions of each such Series; and (5) any other matter requiring
a vote of the Shareholders of a Fund. With respect to amendment of any
investment advisory agreement or any change in a Series' fundamental investment
policy, Owners participating in such Series will vote separately on the matter.
The number of votes that you have the right to cast will be determined by
applying your percentage interest in a
49
<PAGE>
Subaccount to the total number of votes attributable to the Subaccount. In
determining the number of votes, fractional shares will be recognized. The
number of votes for which you may give us instructions will be determined as of
the record date for Fund shareholders chosen by the Board of Trustees of a Fund.
We will furnish you with proper forms and proxies to enable them to give these
instructions.
TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Participants in the Texas Optional Retirement Program may not receive the
proceeds of a withdrawal from, or complete surrender of, a Contract, or apply
them to provide annuity options prior to retirement except in the case of
termination of employment in the Texas public institutions of higher education,
death or total disability. Such proceeds, however, may be used to fund another
eligible retirement vehicle.

APPENDIX A
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
From time to time, the Account may include the performance history of any or
all Subaccounts in advertisements, sales literature or reports. PERFORMANCE
INFORMATION ABOUT EACH SUBACCOUNT IS BASED ON PAST PERFORMANCE ONLY AND IS NOT
AN INDICATION OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. Performance information may be expressed as
yield and effective yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount, as
yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Subaccount and as total
return of any Subaccount. For the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income
Subaccount, quotations of yield will be based on all investment income per unit
earned during a given 30-day period (including dividends and interest), less
expenses accrued during the period ("net investment income") and are computed by
dividing the net investment income by the maximum offering price per unit on the
last day of the period.
When a Subaccount advertises its total return, it usually will be calculated
for one year, five years and ten years or since inception if the Subaccount has
not been in existence for at least ten years. Total return is measured by
comparing the value of a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the Subaccount at the
beginning of the relevant period to the value of the investment at the end of
the period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value
and the deduction of all applicable Contract charges except for premium taxes
(which vary by state) at the beginning of the relevant period.
For those Subaccounts within the Account that have not been available for
one of the quoted periods, the standardized average annual total return
quotations may show the investment performance such Subaccount would have
achieved (reduced by the applicable charges) had it been available to invest in
shares of the Fund for the period quoted.

1 The average annual total return is the annual compound return that results
from holding an initial investment of $1,000 for the time period indicated.
Returns are net of investment management fees, daily and annual administrative
fees, and mortality and expense risk charges and deferred sales charges of 6%
and 2% deducted from redemptions after 1 and 5 years, respectively. Surrender
charges are based on the age of the deposit. The investment return and
principal value of the variable contract will fluctuate so that the
accumulated value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original
cost.
2 Because Class 2 shares were not offered until May 1, 1997 (November 10, 1998
for Mutual Shares Securities), performance shown for periods prior to that
date represents the historical results of Class 1 shares. Performance since
that date reflects Class 2's high annual fees and expenses resulting from its
Rule 12b-1 plan. Maximum annual plan expenses are 0.25%.
3 Returns reflect the effect of any applicable management waivers and
reimbursements, which may increase total return.

</TABLE>
1 The average annual total return is the annual compound return that results
from holding an initial investment of $1,000 for the time period indicated.
Returns are net of investment management fees, daily and annual administrative
fees, and mortality and expense risk charges and deferred sales charges of 6%
and 2% deducted from redemptions after 1 and 5 years, respectively. Surrender
charges are based on the age of the deposit. The investment return and
principal value of the variable contract will fluctuate so that the
accumulated value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original
cost.
2 Because Class 2 shares were not offered until May 1, 1997 (November 10, 1998
for Mutual Shares Securities), performance shown for periods prior to that
date represents the historical results of Class 1 shares. Performance since
that date reflects Class 2's high annual fees and expenses resulting from its
Rule 12b-1 plan. Maximum annual plan expenses are 0.25%.
3 Returns reflect the effect of any applicable management waivers and
reimbursements, which may increase total return.

Current yield for the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount is based upon
the income earned by the Subaccount over a 7-day period and then annualized,
i.e., the income earned in the period is assumed to be earned every seven days
over a 52-week period and stated as a percentage of the investment. Effective
yield is calculated similarly but when annualized, the income earned by the
investment is assumed to be reinvested in Subaccount Units and thus compounded
in the course of a 52-week period. Yield and effective yield reflect the
recurring charges on the Account level excluding the annual administrative fee.
Yield calculations of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount used for
illustration purposes are based on the consideration of a hypothetical Contract
Owner's account having a balance of exactly one Unit at the beginning of a 7-day
period, which period will end on the date of the most recent financial
statements. The yield for the Subaccount during this 7-day period will be the
change in the value of the hypothetical Contract Owner's account's original
unit. The following is an example of this yield quotation for the
Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount based on a 7-day period ending December
31, 1999.
EXAMPLE: BIG EDGE PLUS/GROUP STRATEGIC EDGE
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly
one unit at the beginning of the period............... $2.313829

The current yield and effective yield information will fluctuate, and
publication of yield information may not provide a basis for comparison with
bank deposits, other investments which are insured and/or pay a fixed yield for
a stated period of time, or other investment companies, due to charges which
will be deducted on the Account level.
A Subaccount's performance may be compared to that of the Consumer Price
Index or various unmanaged equity or bond indices such as the Dow Jones
Industrial AverageSM, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index
("S&P 500"), and the Europe Australia Far East Index, and also may be compared
to the performance of the other variable annuity accounts as reported by
services such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ("CDA") and Morningstar, Inc. or in other various
publications. Lipper and CDA are widely recognized independent rating/ranking
services. A Subaccount's performance also may be compared to that of other
investment or savings vehicles.
Advertisements, sales literature and other communications may contain
information about any series' or advisors' current investment strategies and
management style. Current strategies and style may change to respond to a
changing market and economic conditions. From time to time, the Series may
discuss specific portfolio holdings or industries in such communications. To
illustrate components of overall performance, the Series may separate their
cumulative and average annual returns into income results and capital gains or
losses; or cite separately as a return figure the equity or bond portion of a
Series' portfolio; or compare a Series' equity or bond return figure to
well-known indices of market performance including, but not limited to, the S&P
500, Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, First Boston High Yield Index and Solomon
Brothers Corporate and Government Bond Indices.
EACH FUND'S ANNUAL REPORT, AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE,

APPENDIX B
THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contributions to the GIA under the Contract and transfers to the GIA become
part of the general account of Phoenix (the "General Account"), which supports
insurance and annuity obligations. Because of exemptive and exclusionary
provisions, interest in the General Account has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") nor is the General Account registered as an
investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the General Account
nor any interest therein is specifically subject to the provisions of the 1933
or 1940 Acts and the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this
Prospectus concerning the GIA. Disclosures regarding the GIA and the General
Account, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of
the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of
statements made in prospectuses.
The General Account is made up of all of the general assets of Phoenix other
than those allocated to any separate account. Payments will be allocated to the
GIA and, therefore, the General Account, as elected by the Owner at the time of
purchase or as subsequently changed. Phoenix will invest the assets of the
General Account in assets chosen by it and allowed by applicable law. Investment
income from General Account assets is allocated between Phoenix and the
Contracts participating in the General Account, in accordance with the terms of
such Contracts.
Fixed annuity payments made to Annuitants under the Contract will not be
affected by the mortality experience (death rate) of persons receiving such
payments or of the general population. Phoenix assumes this "mortality risk" by
virtue of annuity rates incorporated in the Contract that cannot be changed. In
addition, Phoenix guarantees that it will not increase charges for maintenance
of the Contracts regardless of its actual expenses.
Investment income from the General Account allocated to Phoenix includes
compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by it in connection with
General Account contracts.
The amount of investment income allocated to the Contracts will vary from
year to year in the sole discretion of Phoenix. However, Phoenix guarantees that
it will credit interest at a rate of not less than 4% per year compounded
annually, to amounts allocated to the GIA. Phoenix may credit interest at a rate
in excess of these rates; however, it is not obligated to credit any interest in
excess of these rates.
On the last business day of each calendar week, Phoenix will set the excess
interest rate, if any, that will apply to amounts deposited to the GIA. That
rate will remain in effect for such deposits for an initial guarantee period of
one full year from the date of deposit. Upon expiration of the initial one-year
guarantee period (and each subsequent one-year guarantee period thereafter), the
rate to be applied to any deposits whose guaranteed period has just ended will
be the same rate as is applied to new deposits allocated to the GIA at that
time. This rate will likewise remain in effect for a guarantee period of one
full year from the date the new rate is applied.
Excess interest, if any, will be determined by Phoenix based on information
as to expected investment yields. Some of the factors that Phoenix may consider
in determining whether to credit excess interest to amounts allocated to the GIA
and the amount thereof, are general economic trends, rates of return currently
available and anticipated on investments, regulatory and tax requirements and
competitive factors. ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE GIA IN
EXCESS OF 4% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT
REGARD TO ANY SPECIFIC FORMULA. THE CONTRACT OWNER ASSUMES THE RISK THAT
INTEREST CREDITED TO GIA ALLOCATIONS MAY NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE FOR
ANY GIVEN YEAR.
We are aware of no statutory limitations on the maximum amount of interest
it may credit, and the Board of Directors has set no limitations. However,
inherent in Phoenix's exercise of discretion in this regard is the equitable
allocation of distributable earnings and surplus among its various
policyholders, Contract Owners and shareholders.
Excess interest, if any, will be credited on the GIA Contract Value. We
guarantee that, at any time, the GIA Contract Value will not be less than the
amount of payments allocated to the GIA, plus interest at the rate of 4% per
year, compounded annually, plus any additional interest which We may, in its
discretion, credit to the GIA, less the sum of any applicable annual
administrative or surrender charges, any applicable premium taxes, and less any
amounts surrendered. If the Owner surrenders the Contract, the amount available
from the GIA will be reduced by any applicable surrender charge and annual
administration charge. See "Deductions and Charges."
For 403(b) plans with loans, amounts borrowed from the GIA will be treated
as transfers to the Loan Security Account and subject to the same limitations as
applies to transfers from the GIA (see "Qualified Plans").
IN GENERAL, YOU CAN MAKE ONLY ONE TRANSFER PER YEAR FROM THE GIA. THE AMOUNT
THAT CAN BE TRANSFERRED OUT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $1,000 OR 25% OF THE
CONTRACT VALUE IN THE GIA AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSFER. IF YOU ELECT THE DOLLAR
COST AVERAGING PROGRAM, APPROXIMATELY EQUAL AMOUNTS MAY BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF
THE GIA OVER A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS OR LONGER. ALSO, THE TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE
ALLOCATED TO THE GIA MAY BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE GIA TO ONE OR MORE OF THE
SUBACCOUNTS OF THE ACCOUNT OVER A CONSECUTIVE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD ACCORDING TO THE
FOLLOWING ANNUALLY RENEWABLE SCHEDULE:
YEAR ONE: 25% YEAR TWO: 33% YEAR THREE: 50% YEAR FOUR: 100%

the start of annuity payments.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE: The value of one Accumulation Unit was set at $1.000000
on the date assets were first allocated to each Subaccount. The value of one
Accumulation Unit on any subsequent Valuation Date is determined by multiplying
the immediately preceding Accumulation Unit Value by the applicable Net

under Contracts used with certain tax qualified plans, the Owner must be the
Annuitant. A husband and wife may be designated as joint owners, and if such a
joint owner dies, the other joint owner becomes the sole Owner of the Contract.
If no Owner is named, the Annuitant will be the Owner.
CONTRACT VALUE: Prior to the Maturity Date, the sum of all Accumulation Units
held in the Subaccounts of the Account and the value held in the GIA.
FIXED PAYMENT ANNUITY: A benefit providing periodic payments of a fixed dollar
amount throughout the Annuity Period. This benefit does not vary with or reflect

fixed rate of interest.

shares.

PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We may include the performance history of the Subaccounts in advertisements,
sales literature or reports. Performance information about each Subaccount is
based on past performance only and is not an indication of future performance.
See Appendix A for more information.
PHOENIX AND THE ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a mutual life insurance company originally chartered in Connecticut
in 1851. Our executive office is at One American Row, Hartford, Connecticut
06102-5056, and our main administrative office is at 100 Bright Meadow
Boulevard, Enfield, Connecticut 06083-1900. The New York principal office is at
10 Krey Boulevard, East Greenbush, New York 12144. We sell insurance policies
and annuity contracts through our own field force of full-time agents and
through brokers. On April 17, 2000, the Board of Directors of Phoenix Home Life
Mutual Insurance Company authorized management to develop a plan for conversion
from a mutual to a publicly traded stock company. If such a plan is developed
and adopted by the Board, it would be subject to the approval of the New York
Insurance Department and other regulators and submitted to policyholders for
approval. The plan would go into effect only after all these requirements had
been met. There is no assurance that any such plan will be adopted, and if
adopted, there is no guarantee as to the amount or nature of consideration to
eligible policyholders.
On June 21, 1982, we established the Account, a separate account created
under the insurance laws of Connecticut. The Account is registered with the SEC
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act") and meets the definition of a "separate account" under the Act.
Registration under the Act does not involve supervision of the management or
investment practices or policies of Phoenix or the Account.
On July 1, 1992, the Account's domicile was transferred to New York. Under
New York law, all income, gains or losses of the Account, whether realized or
not, must be credited to or charged against the amounts placed in the Account
without regard to other income, gains and losses of Phoenix. The assets of the
Account may not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business
that we may conduct. Obligations under the Contracts are our obligations.
Contributions to the GIA are not invested in the Account; rather, they
become part of our general account (the "General Account"). The General Account
supports all insurance and annuity obligations of Phoenix and is made up of all
of its general assets other than those allocated to any separate account such as
the Account. For more complete information concerning the GIA, see Appendix B.
INVESTMENTS OF THE ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTICIPATING INVESTMENT FUNDS
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST
Certain Subaccounts of the Account invest in Class 1 shares of the
corresponding fund of the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust.
The following funds are currently available through the Contract:
TEMPLETON ASSET STRATEGY FUND: The investment objective of the fund is a
high level of total return. The Templeton Asset Strategy Fund invests in stocks
of companies of any nation, bonds of companies and governments of any nation and
in money market instruments. Changes in the asset mix will be made in an attempt
to capitalize on total return potential produced by changing economic conditions
throughout the world.
TEMPLETON DEVELOPING MARKETS SECURITIES FUND: The investment objective of
the fund is long-term capital appreciation. The Templeton Developing Markets
Securities Fund invests primarily in emerging market equity securities.
TEMPLETON GLOBAL INCOME SECURITIES FUND: The investment objective is high
current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary consideration. It tries to
achieve this goal through a flexible policy of investing primarily in debt
securities of governments and their political subdivisions and agencies,
supranational organizations and companies of various nations throughout the
world, including emerging markets. The debt securities selected may be rated in
any category by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's") as well as securities which are unrated by any rating
agency.
TEMPLETON GROWTH SECURITIES FUND: The investment objective of the fund is
long-term capital growth. The Templeton Growth Securities Fund invests primarily
in common stocks issued by companies, in various nations throughout the world,
including the U.S. and emerging markets.
TEMPLETON INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES FUND: The investment objective of the
fund is long-term capital growth. The Templeton International Securities Fund
invests primarily in stocks of companies located outside the United States
including emerging markets. Any income realized will be incidental. It also may
invest in debt securities of governments and companies located anywhere in the
world.
THE PHOENIX EDGE SERIES FUND
Certain Subaccounts of the Account invest in a corresponding Series of The
Phoenix Edge Series Fund. The Fund currently has the following Series available
through the Contract:
9
<PAGE>
PHOENIX-GOODWIN MONEY MARKET SERIES: The investment objective of the Series
is to provide maximum current income consistent with capital preservation and
liquidity. The Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Series invests exclusively in high
quality money market instruments.
Each Series will be subject to market fluctuations and the risks that come
with the ownership of any security and there can be no assurance that any Series
will achieve its stated investment objective.
In addition to being sold to the Account, shares of the Funds also may be
sold to other separate accounts of Phoenix or its affiliates or to the separate
accounts of other insurance companies.
It is possible that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the Fund(s) simultaneously. Although neither Phoenix nor the Fund(s)
trustees currently foresees any such disadvantages either to variable life
insurance Policyowners or to variable annuity Contract Owners, the Funds'
trustees intend to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts
between variable life insurance Policy owners and variable annuity Contract
Owners and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such
conflicts. Material conflicts could, for example, result from (1) changes in
state insurance laws, (2) changes in federal income tax laws, (3) changes in the
investment management of any portfolio of the Fund(s) or (4) differences in
voting instructions between those given by variable life insurance Policyowners
and those given by variable annuity Contract Owners. Phoenix will, at its own
expense, remedy such material conflicts including, if necessary, segregating the
assets underlying the variable life insurance policies and the variable annuity
contracts and establishing a new registered investment company.
The Advisers or their affiliates may pay Phoenix a fee for administrative
services performed by Phoenix for the Funds.

PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generally, we require minimum initial payments of:
[diamond] Non-qualified plans--$1,000
[diamond] Individual Retirement Annuity--$1,000
[diamond] Bank draft program--$25
o You may authorize your bank to draw $25 or more from your personal
checking account monthly to purchase Units in any available
Subaccount, or for deposit in the GIA. The amount you designate will
be automatically invested on the date the bank draws on your
account. If Check-o-matic is elected, the minimum initial payment is
$25. This payment must accompany the application (if any). Each
subsequent payment under a Contract must be at least $25.
[diamond] Qualified plans--$1,000 annually
o If Contracts are purchased in connection with tax-qualified or
employer-sponsored plans, a minimum annual payment of $1,000 is
required.
Generally, a Contract may not be purchased for a proposed Annuitant who is
81 years of age or older. Total payments in excess of $1,000,000 cannot be made
without our permission. While the Annuitant is living and the Contract is in
force, payments may be made anytime before the Maturity Date of a Contract.
Payments received under the Contracts will be allocated in any combination
to any Subaccount or GIA, in the proportion specified in the application for the
Contract or as otherwise indicated by you from time to time. Initial payments
may, under certain circumstances, be allocated to the Money Market Subaccount.
See "Free Look Period." Changes in the allocation of payments will be effective
as of receipt by VPMO of notice of election in a form satisfactory to us (either
in writing or by telephone) and will apply to any payments accompanying such
notice or made subsequent to the receipt of the notice, unless otherwise
requested by you.
In certain circumstances, we may reduce the initial or subsequent payment
amount we accept for Contract. Qualifications for such reduction follow:
[diamond] the makeup and size of the prospective group; or
[diamond] the method and frequency of payments; and
[diamond] the amount of compensation to be paid to Registered Representative(s)
on each payment.
10
<PAGE>
Any reduction will not unfairly discriminate against any person. We will
make any such reduction according to our own rules in effect at the time the
payment is received. We reserve the right to change these rules from time to
time.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUM TAX
Whether or not a premium tax is imposed will depend upon, among other
things, the Owner's state of residence, the Annuitant's state of residence, the
status of Phoenix within those states and the insurance tax laws of those
states. We will pay any premium tax due and will reimburse ourself only upon the
earlier of partial withdrawal, surrender of the Contract, Maturity Date or
payment of death proceeds. For a list of states and premium taxes, see Appendix
C.
SURRENDER CHARGES
A deduction for surrender charges for this Contract may be taken from
proceeds of partial withdrawals from, or complete surrender of the Contract. The
amount (if any) of a surrender charge depends on whether your payments are held
under the Contract for a certain period of time. The surrender charge schedule
is shown in the chart below. No surrender charge will be taken from death
proceeds. No surrender charge will be taken after the Annuity Period has begun
except with respect to unscheduled withdrawals under Annuity Option K below. See
"Annuity Options." Any surrender charge is imposed on a first-in, first-out
basis.
Up to 10% of the Contract Value may be withdrawn in a Contract year, either
in a lump sum or by multiple scheduled or unscheduled amounts without the
imposition of a surrender charge. During the first Contract year, the 10%
withdrawal without a surrender charge will be determined based on the Contract
Value at the time of the first partial withdrawal. In subsequent years, the 10%
will be based on the previous Contract anniversary value. The deduction for
surrender charges, expressed as a percentage of the amount withdrawn in excess
of the 10% allowable amount, is as follows:
===============================================================
Percent 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Age of Payment in
Complete Years 0 1 2 3 4 5 6+
===============================================================
If the Annuitant or Owner dies before the Maturity Date of the Contract, the
surrender charge described in the table above will not apply.
The total deferred surrender charges on a Contract will never exceed 9% of
total payments, and the applicable level of surrender charge cannot be changed
with respect to outstanding Contracts. Surrender charges imposed in connection
with partial surrenders will be deducted from the Subaccounts and GIA on a pro
rata basis. Any distribution costs not paid for by surrender charges will be
paid by us from the assets of the General Account.
CHARGES FOR MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS
Although you bear the investment risk of the Series in which you invest,
once you begin receiving fixed annuity payments that carry life contingencies
the annuity payments are guaranteed by us to continue for as long as the
Annuitant lives. We assume the risk that Annuitants as a class may live longer
than expected (requiring a greater number of annuity payments) and that our
actual expenses may be higher than the expense charges provided for in the
Contract.
In assuming the mortality risk, we promise to make these lifetime annuity
payments to the Owner or other payee for as long as the Annuitant lives
according to the annuity tables and other provisions of the Contract.
To compensate for assuming these risks, we charge each Subaccount the daily
equivalent of .40% annually of the current value of the Subaccount's net assets
for mortality risks assumed and the daily equivalent of .85% annually for
expense risks assumed. (See the Contract Schedule Pages.) No mortality and
expense risk charge is deducted from the GIA. If the charges prove insufficient
to cover actual insurance underwriting costs and excess administrative costs,
then the loss will be borne by us; conversely, if the amount deducted proves
more than sufficient, the excess will be a profit to us. Any such profit may be
used, as part of our General Account assets, to meet sales expenses, if any,
which are in excess of sales commission revenue generated from any surrender
charges.
We have concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
distribution financing arrangement being used in connection with the Contract
will benefit the Account and the Contract Owners.
CHARGES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
We are responsible for administering the Contract. In doing so, we maintain
an account for each Owner and Annuitant, make all disbursements of benefits,
furnish administrative and clerical services for each Contract. We also make
disbursements to pay obligations chargeable to the Account, maintain the
accounts, records and other documents relating to the business of the Account
required by regulatory authorities, cause the maintenance of the registration
and qualification of the Account under laws administered by the SEC, prepare and
distribute notices and reports to Owners, and the like. We also reimburse
Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO") for any expenses incurred by it as
"principal underwriter."
To cover certain of its costs of administration, such as preparation of
billings and statements of account, we generally charge each Contract $35 each
year prior to the Contract's Maturity Date. A reduced charge may apply in
certain situations. This charge is deducted from each Subaccount and GIA in
which you are invested on a pro rata basis. This charge may be decreased but
will never increase. This charge is deducted on the Contract anniversary date
for services rendered during the preceding Contract Year.
11
<PAGE>
Upon surrender of a Contract, the entire annual administrative charge of $35 is
deducted regardless of when the surrender occurs.
If you elect Payment Options I, J or K, the annual administrative charge
after the Maturity Date will be deducted from each annuity payment in equal
amounts.
We may reduce the annual administrative charges for Contracts issued under
tax-qualified plans other than IRAs, and for group or sponsored arrangements
such as Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) or 457 Plans. Generally,
administrative costs per Contract vary with the size of the group or sponsored
arrangement, its stability as indicated by its term of existence and certain
characteristics of its members, the purposes for which the Contracts are
purchased and other factors. The amount of reduction will be considered on a
case-by-case basis but will be applied in a uniform, nondiscriminatory manner
that reflects the reduced administrative costs expected as a result of sales to
a particular group or sponsored arrangement.
We also charge each Subaccount the daily equivalent of 0.125% annually to
cover its variable costs of administration (such as printing and distribution of
materials pertaining to Contract Owner meetings). This fee is not deducted from
the GIA.
No surrender or annual administrative charges will be deducted for Contracts
sold to registered representatives of the principal underwriter or to officers,
directors and employees of Phoenix or its affiliates and their spouses; or to
employees or agents who retire from Phoenix or its affiliates or PEPCO, or its
affiliates or to registered representatives of broker-dealers with whom PEPCO
has selling agreements.
OTHER CHARGES
As compensation for investment management services, the Advisers are
entitled to a fee, payable monthly and based on an annual percentage of the
average daily net asset values of each Series. These Fund charges and other Fund
expenses are described more fully in the accompanying Fund prospectuses.
THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The accumulation period is that time before annuity payments begin that your
payments into the Contract remain invested.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
Your initial payment will be applied within two days of our receipt if the
application for a Contract is complete. If an incomplete application is
completed within five business days of receipt by VPMO, your payment will be
applied within two days of the completion of the application. If we do not
accept the application within five business days or if an order form is not
completed within five business days of receipt by us, then your payment will be
immediately returned unless you request us to hold it while the application is
completed. Additional payments allocated to the GIA are deposited on the date of
receipt of payment at VPMO. Additional payments allocated to Subaccounts are
used to purchase Accumulation Units of the Subaccount(s), at the value of such
Units next determined after the receipt of the payment at VPMO. The number of
Accumulation Units of a Subaccount purchased with a specific payment will be
determined by dividing the payment by the value of an Accumulation Unit in that
Subaccount next determined after receipt of the payment. The value of the
Accumulation Units of a Subaccount will vary depending upon the investment
performance of the applicable Series of the Funds, the expenses charged against
the Fund and the charges and deductions made against the Subaccount.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
On any date before the Maturity Date of the Contract, the total value of the
Accumulation Units in a Subaccount can be computed by multiplying the number of
such Units by the value of an Accumulation Unit on that date. The value of an
Accumulation Unit on a day other than a Valuation Date is the value of the
Accumulation Unit on the next Valuation Date. The number of Accumulation Units
credited to you in each Subaccount and their current value will be reported to
you at least annually.
TRANSFERS
You may, anytime up to 30 days prior to the Maturity Date of your Contract,
elect to transfer all or any part of the Contract Value among one or more
Subaccounts or the GIA. A transfer from a Subaccount will result in the
redemption of Accumulation Units and, if another Subaccount is selected, in the
purchase of Accumulation Units. The exchange will be based on the values of the
Accumulation Units next determined after the receipt by VPMO of written notice
of election in a form satisfactory to us. A transfer among Subaccounts or the
GIA does not automatically change the payment allocation schedule of your
contract.
You also may request transfers and changes in payment allocations among
available Subaccounts or the GIA by calling VAO at 800-541-0171 between the
hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Unless you elect in writing not
to authorize telephone transfers or allocation changes, telephone transfer
orders and allocation changes also will be accepted on your behalf from your
registered representative. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that
telephone instructions are genuine. We will require verification of account
information and will record telephone instructions on tape. All telephone
transfers and allocation changes will be confirmed in writing to you. To the
extent that procedures reasonably designed to prevent unauthorized transfers are
not followed, we may be liable for following telephone instructions for
transfers that prove to be fraudulent. However, you will bear the risk of loss
resulting from instructions entered by an unauthorized third party we
12
<PAGE>
reasonably believe to be genuine. These telephone exchange and allocation change
privileges may be modified or terminated at any time. In particular, during
times of extreme market volatility, telephone privileges may be difficult to
exercise. In such cases you should submit written instructions.
You also may elect to transfer funds automatically among the Subaccounts or
GIA on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis under the Systematic
Transfer Program for Dollar Cost Averaging ("Systematic Transfer Program").
Under this Systematic Transfer Program, the minimum initial and subsequent
transfer amounts are $25 monthly, $75 quarterly, $150 semiannually or $300
annually. You must have an initial value of $2,000 in the GIA or in the
Subaccount from which funds will be transferred (sending Subaccount), and if the
value in that Subaccount or the GIA drops below the amount to be transferred,
the entire remaining balance will be transferred and no more systematic
transfers will be processed. Funds may be transferred from only one sending
Subaccount or from the GIA but may be allocated to multiple receiving
Subaccounts. Under the Systematic Transfer Program, you may transfer
approximately equal amounts from the GIA over a minimum 18-month period.
Transfers under the Systematic Transfer Program are not subject to the general
restrictions on transfers from the GIA.
Upon completion of the Systematic Transfer Program, you must notify VAO at
(800) 541-0171 or in writing to VPMO to implement another Systematic Transfer
Program.
All transfers under the Systematic Transfer Program will be executed on the
basis of values as of the first of the month rather than on the basis of values
next determined after receipt of the transfer request. If the first of the month
falls on a holiday or weekend, then the transfer will be processed on the next
succeeding business day.
Unless we otherwise agree or unless the Systematic Transfer Program has been
elected, you may make only one transfer per Contract year from the GIA.
Non-systematic transfers from the GIA will be made on the date of receipt by
VPMO except as you may otherwise request. For non-systematic transfers, the
amount that may be transferred from the GIA at any one time cannot exceed the
greater of $1,000 or 25% of the Contract Value in the GIA at the time of
transfer.
Because excessive trading can hurt Fund performance and therefore be
detrimental to all Contract Owners, we reserve the right to temporarily or
permanently terminate exchange privileges or reject any specific order from
anyone whose transactions seem to follow a timing pattern, including those who
request more than one exchange out of a Subaccount within any 30-day period. We
will not accept batch transfer instructions from registered representatives
(acting under powers of attorney for multiple Contract Owners), unless we have
entered into a third-party transfer service agreement with the registered
representative's broker-dealer firm.
No surrender charge will be assessed when a transfer is made. The date a
payment was originally credited for the purpose of calculating the surrender
charge will remain the same. Currently, there is no charge for transfers.
However, we reserve the right to charge a transfer fee of $10 per transfer after
the first two transfers in each Contract year to defray administrative costs.
Currently, unlimited transfers are permitted. However, we reserve the right to
change our policy to limit the number of transfers made to no more than six
during each Contract year. If the Temporary Money Market Allocation Amendment is
in effect, no transfers may be made until the end of the free look period. See
"Free Look Period." There are additional restrictions on transfers from the GIA
as described above and in Appendix B.
Currently, transfers between Subaccounts are not available for amounts
allocated to any of the variable payment annuity options.
We reserve the right to limit the number of Subaccounts you may elect to a
total of 18 over the life of the Contract unless changes in federal and/or state
regulation, including tax, securities and insurance law require us to impose a
lower limit.
SURRENDER OF CONTRACT; PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
If the Annuitant is living, amounts held under the Contract may be withdrawn
in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date, or after the Maturity Date under
Annuity Option K. Prior to the Maturity Date, you may withdraw up to 10% of the
Contract Value in a Contract year, either in a lump sum or by multiple scheduled
or unscheduled partial withdrawals, without the imposition of a surrender
charge. During the first Contract year, the 10% withdrawal without a surrender
charge is available only on Contracts issued on or after May 1, 1996, and will
be determined based on the Contract Value at the time of the first partial
withdrawal. In all subsequent years, the 10% will be based on the previous
Contract anniversary value. A signed written request for withdrawal must be sent
to VPMO. If you have not yet reached age 59 1/2, a 10% penalty tax may apply on
taxable income withdrawn. See "Federal Income Taxes." The appropriate number of
Accumulation Units of a Subaccount will be redeemed at their value next
determined after the receipt by VPMO of a written notice in a form satisfactory
to us. Accumulation Units redeemed in a partial withdrawal from multiple
Subaccounts will be redeemed on a pro rata basis unless you designate otherwise.
Contract Values in the GIA will also be withdrawn on a pro rata basis unless you
designate otherwise. The resulting cash payment will be made in a single sum,
ordinarily within seven days after receipt of such notice. However, redemption
and payment may be delayed under certain circumstances. See "Deferment of
Payment." There may be adverse tax consequences to certain surrenders and
partial withdrawals. See "Surrenders or
13
<PAGE>
Withdrawals Prior to the Contract Maturity Date." Certain restrictions on
redemptions are imposed on Contracts used in connection with Internal Revenue
Code Section 403(b) plans. Although loans are available under 403(b) plans only,
certain limitations may apply. See "Qualified Plans"; "Tax Sheltered Annuities."
A deduction for surrender charges may be imposed on partial withdrawals from,
and complete surrender of, a Contract. See "Surrender Charges." Any surrender
charge is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis.
Any request for a withdrawal from, or complete surrender of a Contract
should be mailed to Phoenix Variable Products Mail Operations, PO Box 8027,
Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8027.
LAPSE OF CONTRACT
The Contract will terminate and lapse without value, if on any Valuation
Date:
[diamond] the Contract Value is zero; or
[diamond] the premium tax reimbursement due on surrender or partial withdrawals
is greater than or equal to the Contract Value (unless any Contract
Value has been applied under one of the variable payment options).
We will notify you in writing that the Contract has lapsed.
PAYMENT UPON DEATH BEFORE MATURITY DATE
DEATH OF AN OWNER/ANNUITANT
If the Owner/Annuitant dies before the Contract Maturity Date, the death
benefit will be paid under the Contract to the Annuitant's beneficiary.
DEATH OF AN ANNUITANT WHO IS NOT THE OWNER
If the Owner and the Annuitant are not the same and the Annuitant dies prior
to the Maturity Date, the contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant. If there
is no contingent Annuitant, the death benefit will be paid to the Annuitant's
beneficiary.
The death benefit upon the Death of the Annuitant or Owner/Annuitant will
be:
1. Death occurring in the first 6-year period following the Contract Date--the
greater of:
a. 100% of payments, less any withdrawals; or
b. the Contract Value as of the claim date.
2. Death occurring any subsequent 6-year period--the greater of:
a. the death benefit that would have been payable at the end of the
immediately preceding 6-year period, plus any payments, less any
withdrawals made since that date; or
b. the Contract Value as of the claim date.
DEATH OF AN OWNER WHO IS NOT THE ANNUITANT
Upon the death of an Owner who is not the Annuitant, provided that there is
no surviving joint Owner, the death proceeds will be paid to the Owner's
beneficiary. The death benefit is equal to the cash surrender value.
[diamond] SPOUSAL BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE. If the spousal beneficiary
continues the Contract at the death of the Owner/Annuitant or Owner
who is not also the Annuitant, the spousal beneficiary becomes the
Annuitant.
[diamond] CONTINGENT ANNUITANT CONTRACT CONTINUANCE. Upon the death of the
Annuitant who is not the Owner provided a contingent Annuitant was
named prior to the death of the Annuitant, the contract will continue
with the contingent Annuitant becoming the Annuitant.
[diamond] QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. Under qualified Contracts, the death benefit is
paid at the death of the participant who is the Annuitant under the
Contract. Death benefit payments must satisfy distribution rules. See
"Federal Income Taxes--Qualified Plans."
[diamond] OWNERSHIP OF THE CONTRACT BY A NON-NATURAL PERSON. If the Owner is not
an individual, the death of the Annuitant is treated as the death of
the Owner.
If the death benefit amount to be paid is less than $2,000, it will be paid
in a single lump sum (see "Annuity Options"). Depending upon state law, the
death benefit payment to the beneficiary may avoid probate and the death benefit
may be reduced by any premium tax due. See "Deductions and Charges--Premium
Tax." See also, "Federal Income Taxes--Distribution at Death."
THE ANNUITY PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Annuity payments will begin on the Contract's Maturity Date if the Annuitant
is alive and the Contract is still in force. Beginning on the Maturity Date,
investment in the Account is continued unless a Fixed Payment Annuity is
elected. No surrender charge is taken. Each Contract provides, at the time of
its issuance, for a Variable Payment Life Annuity with Ten-Year Period Certain
unless a different annuity option is elected by you. See "Annuity Options."
Under a Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain, annuity
payments, which may vary in amount based on the performance of the Subaccounts
selected, are made monthly for life and, if the Annuitant dies within 10 years
after the Maturity Date, the Annuitant's beneficiary will be paid the payments
remaining in the 10-year period. A different form of annuity may be elected by
you prior to the Maturity Date. Once annuity payments have commenced, the
Annuity Option may not be changed.
If the amount to be applied on the Maturity Date is less than $2,000, we may
pay such amount in one lump sum in lieu of providing an annuity. If the initial
monthly annuity payment under an Annuity Option would be less than $20,
14
<PAGE>
we may also make a single sum payment equal to the total Contract Value on the
date the initial payment would be payable, or make periodic payments quarterly,
semiannually or annually in place of monthly payments.
Each Contract specifies a provisional Maturity Date at the time of its
issuance. You may subsequently elect a different Maturity Date. The Maturity
Date shall not be earlier than the first Contract anniversary or later than the
Contract anniversary nearest the Annuitant's 85th birthday, unless the Contract
is issued in connection with certain qualified plans. Generally, under qualified
plans, the Maturity Date must be such that distributions begin no later than
April 1st of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year in which the
employee attains age 70 1/2; or (b) the calendar year in which the employee
retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to an IRA.
The Maturity Date election shall be made by written notice and must be
received by VPMO 30 days before the provisional Maturity Date. If a Maturity
Date, which is different from the provisional Maturity Date of the Contract, is
not elected by the Owner, the provisional Maturity Date becomes the Maturity
Date. Particular care should be taken in electing the Maturity Date of a
Contract issued under a TSA, a Keogh Plan or an IRA plan. (See "Tax-Sheltered
Annuities," "Keogh Plans" and "Individual Retirement Accounts.")
ANNUITY OPTIONS
Unless an alternative annuity payment option is elected on or before the
Maturity Date, the amounts held under a Contract on the Maturity Date
automatically will be applied to provide a 10-year period certain variable
payment monthly life annuity based on the life of the Annuitant under Option I
described below. Any annuity payments falling due after the death of the
Annuitant during the period certain will be paid to the Annuitant's beneficiary.
Each annuity payment will be based upon the value of the Annuity Units credited
to the Contract. The number of Annuity Units in each Subaccount to be credited
is based on the value of the Accumulation Units in that Subaccount and the
applicable annuity payment rate. The Contract is issued with guaranteed minimum
annuity payment rates, however, if the current rate is higher, we'll apply the
higher rate. The payment rate differs according to the payment option selected
and the age of the Annuitant. The annuity payment rate is applied and will
determine all payments for the fixed annuity payment options and the first
payment for the variable annuity payment options. The value of the Annuity Units
will vary with the investment performance of each Subaccount to which Annuity
Units are credited based on an assumed investment return of 4 1/2% per year.
This rate is a fulcrum rate around which Variable Annuity payments will vary to
reflect whether actual investment experience of the Subaccount is better or
worse than the assumed investment return. The assumed investment return and the
calculation of variable income payments for such 10-year period certain variable
payment life annuity and for Options J and K described below are described in
more detail in Part 8 of the Contract and in the SAI.
Instead of the 10-year period certain variable payment life annuity (see
"Option I--Variable Payment Life Annuity with Ten-Year Period Certain" below),
you may, by written request received by VPMO on or before the Maturity Date of
the Contract, elect any of the other annuity payment options described below. No
surrender charge will be assessed under any annuity option, unless unscheduled
withdrawals are made under Annuity Option K.
The level of annuity payments payable under the following options is based
upon the option selected and, depending on the option chosen, such factors as
the age at which payments begin, the form of annuity, annuity payment rates,
assumed investment rate (for variable payment annuities) and the frequency of
payments will effect the level of annuity payments. The assumed investment rate
is 4.5% per year. We use this rate to determine the first payment under Variable
Payment Annuity Options I, J and K.
We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily
administrative fee from Contract Values held in the Subaccounts. See "Charges
For Mortality and Expense Risks" and "Charges for Administrative Services."
Therefore, electing Option K will result in a deduction being made even
though we assume no mortality risk under that option.
The following are descriptions of the annuity options available under a
Contract. These descriptions should allow you to understand the basic
differences between the options, however, you should contact VPMO well in
advance of the date you wish to elect an option to obtain estimates of payments
under each option.
OPTION A--LIFE ANNUITY WITH SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a monthly income for the life of the Annuitant. In the event of the
Annuitant's death, the annuity income will be paid to the beneficiary until the
end of the specified period certain. For example, a 10-year period certain will
provide a total of 120 monthly payments. The certain period may be 5, 10 or 20
years.
OPTION B--NON-REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of the Annuitant. No income is
payable after the death of the Annuitant.
OPTION C--DISCONTINUED
OPTION D--JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the lifetimes of both the Annuitant and a
joint Annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the
Annuitant or joint Annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of
the survivor. The amount to be continued to the survivor may be 100% or 50% of
the amount of the joint annuity payment, as elected at the time the annuity
option is chosen. No income is payable after the death of the survivor
Annuitant.
15
<PAGE>
Under Option D, the joint Annuitant must be named at the time the option is
elected and cannot be changed. The joint Annuitant must have reached an adjusted
age of 40, as defined in the Contract.
OPTION E--INSTALLMENT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the life of the Annuitant. In the event of the
Annuitant's death, the annuity income will continue to the Annuitant's
beneficiary until the amount applied to purchase the annuity has been
distributed.
OPTION F--JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of both the Annuitant and a joint
Annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the
Annuitant or joint Annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of
the survivor. If the survivor dies prior to the end of the 10-year period, the
annuity income will continue to the named beneficiary until the end of the
10-year period certain.
Under Option F, the joint annuitant must be named at the time the option is
elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted
age of 40, as defined in the Contract.
OPTION G--PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD
Provides equal income installments for a specified period of years whether
the Annuitant lives or dies. Any specified whole number of years from 5 to 30
years may be elected.
OPTION H--PAYMENTS OF SPECIFIED AMOUNT
Provides equal installments of a specified amount over a period of at least
5 years. The specified amount may not be greater than the total annuity amount
divided by five annual installment payments. If the Annuitant dies prior to the
end of the elected period certain, annuity payments will continue to the
Annuitant's beneficiary until the end of the elected period certain.
OPTION I--VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
Unless another Annuity Option has been elected, this option will
automatically apply to any Contract proceeds payable on the Maturity Date. It
provides a variable payout monthly annuity based on the life of the Annuitant.
In the event of the death of the Annuitant, the annuity payments are made to the
Annuitant's beneficiary until the end of the 10-year period. The 10-year period
provides a total of 120 monthly payments. Payments will vary as to dollar
amount, based on the investment experience of the Subaccounts to which proceeds
are invested.
OPTION J--JOINT SURVIVOR VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR
PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a variable payout monthly annuity while the Annuitant and the
designated joint Annuitant are living and continues thereafter during the
lifetime of the survivor or, if later, until the end of a 10-year period
certain. Payments will vary as to dollar amount, based on the investment
experience of the Subaccounts to which proceeds are invested. The joint
Annuitant must be named at the time the option is elected and cannot be changed.
The joint Annuitant must have reached an adjusted age of 40 as defined in the
Contract. This option is not available for payment of any death benefit under
the Contract.
OPTION K--VARIABLE PAYMENT ANNUITY FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD
Provides variable payout monthly income installments for a specified period
of time, whether the Annuitant lives or dies. The period certain specified must
be in whole numbers of years from 5 to 30. However, the period certain selected
by the beneficiary of any death benefit under the Contract may not extend beyond
the life expectancy of such beneficiary. You may request unscheduled withdrawals
representing part or all of the remaining Contract Value (less any applicable
contingent deferred surrender charge) at any time under Option K.
OTHER OPTIONS AND RATES
We may offer other annuity options at the time a Contract reaches its
Maturity Date. In addition, in the event that annuity payment rates for
Contracts are at that time more favorable than the applicable rates guaranteed
under the Contract, the current annuity payment rates shall be used in
determining the amount of any annuity payment under the Annuity Options above.
OTHER CONDITIONS
Federal income tax requirements currently applicable to most qualified plans
provide that the period of years guaranteed under joint and survivorship
annuities with specified periods certain (see "Option F" and "Option J" above)
cannot be any greater than the joint life expectancies of the payee and his or
her spouse.
Federal income tax requirements also provide that participants in regular or
SIMPLE IRAs must begin minimum distributions by April 1 of the year following
the one in which they attain age 70 1/2. Minimum distribution requirements do
not apply to Roth IRAs. Distributions from qualified plans generally must begin
by the later of actual retirement or April 1 of the year following the year
participants attain age 70 1/2. Any required minimum distributions must be such
that the full amount in the contract will be distributed over a period not
greater than the participant's life expectancy, or the combined life expectancy
of the participant and his or her spouse or designated beneficiary.
Distributions made under this method are generally referred to as Life
Expectancy Distributions ("LEDs"). An LED program is available to participants
in qualified plans or IRAs. Requests to elect this program must be made in
writing.
Under the LED program, regardless of Contract year, amounts up to the
required minimum distribution may be withdrawn without a deduction for surrender
charges, even if the minimum distribution exceeds the 10% allowable amount. See
"Surrender Charges." Any amounts withdrawn
16
<PAGE>
that have not been held under a Contract for at least six years and are in
excess of both the minimum distribution and the 10% free available amount will
be subject to any applicable surrender charge.
If the initial monthly annuity payment under an Annuity Option would be less
than $20, we may make a single sum payment equal to the Contract Value on the
date the initial payment would be payable, in place of all other benefits
provided by the Contract, or, may make periodic payments quarterly, semiannually
or annually in place of monthly payments.
Currently, transfers between Subaccounts are not available for amounts
allocated to any of the variable payment annuity options.
PAYMENT UPON DEATH AFTER MATURITY DATE
If an Owner who also is the Annuitant dies on or after the Maturity Date,
except as otherwise may be provided under any supplementary contract between the
Owner and us, we will pay to the Owner/Annuitant's beneficiary any annuity
payments due during any applicable period certain under the Annuity Option in
effect on the Annuitant's death. If the Annuitant who is not the Owner dies on
or after the Maturity Date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the
Annuitant's beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of
the Annuitant's death. If an Owner who is not the Annuitant dies on or after the
Maturity Date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the Owner's
beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of the Owner's
death.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT VALUATION PROCEDURES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUATION DATE
A Valuation Date is every day the NYSE is open for trading. The NYSE is
scheduled to be closed on the following days: New Year's Day, Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The Board of Directors of the
NYSE reserves the right to change this schedule as conditions warrant. On each
Valuation Date, the value of the Account is determined at the close of the NYSE
(currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
VALUATION PERIOD
Valuation Period is that period of time from the beginning of the day
following a Valuation Date to the end of the next following Valuation Date.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The value of one Accumulation Unit was set at $1.0000 on the date assets
were first allocated to a Subaccount. The value of one Accumulation Unit on any
subsequent Valuation Date is determined by multiplying the immediately preceding
Accumulation Unit Value by the applicable Net Investment Factor for the
Valuation Period ending on such Valuation Date. After the first Valuation
Period, the Accumulation Unit Value reflects the cumulative investment
experience of that Subaccount.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for any Valuation Period is equal to 1.000000 plus
the applicable net investment rate for such Valuation Period. A Net Investment
Factor may be more or less than 1.000000 depending on whether the assets gained
or lost value that day. To determine the net investment rate for any Valuation
Period for the Funds allocated to each Subaccount, the following steps are
taken: (a) the aggregate accrued investment income and capital gains and losses,
whether realized or unrealized, of the Subaccount for such Valuation Period is
computed, (b) the amount in (a) is then adjusted by the sum of the charges and
credits for any applicable income taxes and the deductions at the beginning of
the Valuation Period for mortality and expense risk charges and daily
administration fee, and (c) the results of (a) as adjusted by (b) are divided by
the aggregate Unit Values in the Subaccount at the beginning of the Valuation
Period.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSIGNMENT
Owners of Contracts issued in connection with non-tax qualified plans may
assign their interest in the Contract without the consent of the beneficiary. A
written notice of such assignment must be filed with VPMO before it will be
honored.
A pledge or assignment of a Contract is treated as payment received on
account of a partial surrender of a Contract. See "Surrenders or Withdrawals
Prior to the Contract Maturity Date."
In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment, Contracts issued in
connection with tax qualified plans may not be sold, assigned, discounted or
pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an
obligation, or for any other purpose, to any person other than to us.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENT
Payment of the Contract Value in a single sum upon a withdrawal from, or
complete surrender of, a Contract ordinarily will be made within seven days
after receipt of the written request by VPMO. However, we may postpone payment
of the value of any Accumulation Units at times (a) when the NYSE is closed,
other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (b) when trading on the NYSE
is restricted, (c) when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of
securities in the Fund is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the Contract Value or (d) when a governmental body
having jurisdiction over us by order permits such suspension. Rules and
regulations of the SEC, if any, are applicable and will govern as to whether
conditions described in (b), (c) or (d) exist.
17
<PAGE>
FREE LOOK PERIOD
We may mail the Contract to you or we may deliver it to you in person. You
may surrender a Contract for any reason within 10 days after you receive it and
receive in cash the adjusted value of your initial payment. (A longer Free Look
Period may be required by your state.) You may receive more or less than the
initial payment depending on investment experience within the Subaccounts during
the Free Look Period. If a portion or all of your initial payment has been
allocated to the GIA, we also will refund any earned interest.
If you elected the Temporary Money Market Allocation Amendment or you reside
in a state that requires the full refund of premium, we will temporarily
allocate those portions of your initial payment designated for the Subaccounts
to the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount and those portions designated for
the GIA will be allocated to those Accounts. If you surrender the Contract, then
your initial payment is refunded. At the expiration of the Free Look Period, the
value of the Accumulation Units held in the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market
Subaccount is allocated among the available Subaccounts in accordance with your
allocation instructions.
AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACTS
Contracts may be amended to conform to changes in applicable law or
interpretations of applicable law, or to accommodate design changes. Changes in
the Contract may need to be approved by Contract Owners and state insurance
departments. A change in the Contract which necessitates a corresponding change
in the Prospectus or the SAI must be filed with the SEC.
SUBSTITUTION OF FUND SHARES
Although we believe it to be highly unlikely, it is possible that in the
judgment of our management, one or more of the Series of the Funds may become
unsuitable for investment by Contract Owners because of a change in investment
policy, or a change in the income tax laws, or because the shares are no longer
available for investment. In that event, we may seek to substitute the shares of
another Series or the shares of an entirely different fund. Before this can be
done, the approval of the SEC, and possibly one or more state insurance
departments, will be required.
OWNERSHIP OF THE CONTRACT
Ordinarily, the purchaser of a Contract is both the Owner and the Annuitant
and is entitled to exercise all the rights under the Contract. However, the
Owner may be an individual or entity other than the Annuitant. Spouses may own a
Contract as joint Owners. Transfer of the ownership of a Contract may involve
federal income tax consequences, and a qualified adviser should be consulted
before any such transfer is attempted.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
The Contracts are designed for use with retirement plans which may or may
not be tax-qualified plans ("Qualified Plans") under the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"). The ultimate effect of federal
income taxes on the amounts held under a Contract, on annuity payments and on
the economic benefits of the Contract Owner, Annuitant or beneficiary depends on
our tax status, on the type of retirement plan for which the Contract is
purchased, and upon the income tax and employment status of the individual
concerned.
The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax
advice. The tax rules are complicated and this discussion can only make you
aware of the issues. Each person concerned should consult a competent tax
adviser. No attempt is made to consider any estate or inheritance taxes or any
applicable state, local or other tax laws. Moreover, the discussion is based
upon our understanding of the federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation
of the federal income tax laws or the current interpretations by the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS"). We do not guarantee the tax status of the
Contracts. Purchasers bear the complete risk that the Contracts may not be
treated as "annuity contracts" under federal income tax laws. For a discussion
of federal income taxes as they relate to the Funds, please see the accompanying
prospectuses for the Funds.
INCOME TAX STATUS
Phoenix is taxed as a life insurance company under Part 1 of Subchapter L of
the Code. Since the Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix and its
operations form a part of Phoenix, it will not be taxed separately as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income
and realized capital gains on the assets of the Account are reinvested and taken
into account in determining the Contract Value. Under existing federal income
tax law, the Account's investment income, including realized net capital gains,
is not taxed to Phoenix. We reserve the right to make a deduction for taxes
should they be imposed on us with respect to such items in the future.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL--NON-QUALIFIED PLANS
Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities. In general, a Contract
Owner is not taxed on increases in value of the Units held under a Contract
until some form of distribution is made. However, in certain cases the increase
in value may be subject to tax currently. In the case of Contracts not owned by
natural persons, see "Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons." In the case of
Contracts not meeting the diversification requirements, see "Diversification
Standards."
18
<PAGE>
SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE CONTRACT MATURITY DATE
Code Section 72 provides that a total or partial surrender from a Contract
prior to the Contract Maturity Date will be treated as taxable income to the
extent the amounts held under the Contract exceed the "investment in the
Contract." The "investment in the Contract" is that portion, if any, of payments
(premiums paid) by or on behalf of an individual under a Contract that have not
been excluded from the individual's gross income. However, under certain types
of Qualified Plans there may be no investment in the Contract within the meaning
of Code Section 72, so that the total amount of all payments received will be
taxable. The taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income in an amount equal to
the value of the amount received on account of a total or partial surrender of a
Contract. For purposes of this rule, a pledge or assignment of a Contract is
treated as a payment received on account of a partial surrender of a Contract.
SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS ON OR AFTER THE CONTRACT MATURITY DATE
Upon receipt of a lump sum payment under the Contract, the recipient is
taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the investment in the Contract.
Ordinarily, such taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income. Under certain
circumstances, the proceeds of a surrender of a Contract may qualify for "lump
sum distribution" treatment under Qualified Plans. See your tax adviser if you
think you may qualify for "lump sum distribution" treatment. The 5-year
averaging rule for lump sum distribution has been repealed for tax years
beginning after 1999.
For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is
determined by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio," which establishes
the ratio that the investment in the Contract bears to the total expected amount
of annuity payments for the term of the Contract. That ratio is then applied to
each payment to determine the non-taxable portion of the payment. The remaining
portion of each payment is taxed as ordinary income. For variable annuity
payments, the taxable portion is determined by a formula that establishes a
specific dollar amount of each payment that is not taxed. The dollar amount is
determined by dividing the investment in the Contract by the total number of
expected periodic payments. The remaining portion of each payment is taxed as
ordinary income. Once the excludable portion of annuity payments equals the
investment in the Contract, the balance of the annuity payments will be fully
taxable. For certain types of qualified plans, there may be no investment in the
Contract resulting in the full amount of the payments being taxable. A
simplified method of determining the exclusion ratio is effective with respect
to qualified plan annuities starting after November 18, 1996.
Withholding of federal income taxes on all distributions may be required
unless the recipient elects not to have any amounts withheld and properly
notifies VPMO of that election.
PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS
Amounts surrendered or distributed before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2
are subject to a penalty tax equal to ten percent (10%) of the portion of such
amount that is includable in gross income. However, the penalty tax will not
apply to withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the Contract Owner (or
where the Contract Owner is not an individual, the death of the "Primary
Annuitant," who is defined as the individual the events in whose life are of
primary importance in affecting the timing and amount of the payout under the
Contract); (ii) attributable to the taxpayer's becoming totally disabled within
the meaning of Code Section 72(m)(7); (iii) which are part of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments made (not less frequently than annually)
for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer, or the joint lives (or joint
life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary; (iv) from certain
qualified plans (such distributions may, however, be subject to a similar
penalty under Code Section 72(t) relating to distributions from qualified
retirement plans and to a special penalty of 25% applicable specifically to
SIMPLE IRAs or other special penalties applicable to Roth IRAs); (v) allocable
to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982; (vi) under a qualified
funding asset (as defined in Code Section 130(d)); (vii) under an immediate
annuity contract (as defined in Code Section 72(u)(4)); or (viii) that are
purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of qualified plans and
which are held by the employer until the employee separates from service.
If the penalty tax does not apply to a withdrawal as a result of the
application of item (iii) above, and the series of payments are subsequently
modified (other than by reason of death or disability), the tax for the first
year when the modification occurs will be increased by an amount (determined by
the Treasury regulations) equal to the tax that would have been imposed but for
item (iii) above, plus interest for the deferral period, but only if the
modification takes place: (a) within 5 years from the date of the first payment,
or (b) before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2.
Separate tax withdrawal penalties apply to Qualified Plans. See "Penalty Tax
on Surrenders and Withdrawals from Qualified Contracts."
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax
purposes, a Contract must provide the following two distribution rules: (a) if
the Contract Owner dies on or after the Contract Maturity Date, and before the
entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the remainder of the
Contract Owner's interest will be distributed at least as quickly as the method
in effect on the Contract Owner's death; and (b) if a Contract Owner dies before
the Contract Maturity Date, the Contract Owner's entire interest
19
<PAGE>
generally must be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or
if payable to a designated beneficiary, may be annuitized over the life or life
expectancy of that beneficiary and payments must begin within one (1) year after
the Contract Owner's date of death. If the beneficiary is the spouse of the
Contract Owner, the Contract (together with the deferral of tax on the accrued
and future income thereunder) may be continued in the name of the spouse as
Contract Owner. Similar distribution requirements apply to annuity contracts
under Qualified Plans (other than Code Section 457 Plans). However, a number of
restrictions, limitations and special rules apply to qualified plans and
Contract Owners should consult with their tax adviser.
If the Annuitant, who is not the Contract Owner, dies before the Maturity
Date and there is no Contingent Annuitant, the Annuitant's beneficiary must
elect within 60 days whether to receive the death benefit in a lump sum or in
periodic payments commencing within one (1) year.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual, the death of the primary
Annuitant is treated as the death of the Contract Owner. In addition, when the
Contract Owner is not an individual, a change in the primary Annuitant is
treated as the death of the Contract Owner. Finally, in the case of non-spousal
joint Contract Owners, distribution will be required at the death of the first
of the Contract Owners.
If the Contract Owner or a Joint Contract Owner dies on or after the
Maturity Date, the remaining payments, if any, under the Annuity Option selected
will be made at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect
at the time of death.
TRANSFER OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Transfers of non-qualified Contracts prior to the Maturity Date for less
than full and adequate consideration to the Contract Owner at the time of such
transfer, will trigger tax on the gain in the Contract, with the transferee
getting a step-up in basis for the amount included in the Contract Owner's
income. This provision does not apply to transfers between spouses or incident
to a divorce.
CONTRACTS OWNED BY NON-NATURAL PERSONS
If the Contract is held by a non-natural person (for example, a
corporation), the income on that Contract (generally the increase in the net
surrender value less the premium paid) is includable in income each year. The
rule does not apply where the non-natural person is the nominal owner of a
Contract and the beneficial owner is a natural person. The rule also does not
apply where the annuity contract is acquired by the estate of a decedent, where
the Contract is held under a qualified plan, a TSA program or an IRA, where the
Contract is a qualified funding asset for structured settlements, or where the
Contract is purchased on behalf of an employee upon termination of a qualified
plan, and nor if the annuity contract is an immediate annuity.
SECTION 1035 EXCHANGES
Code Section 1035 provides, in general, that no gain or loss shall be
recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another. A replacement
contract obtained in a tax-free exchange of contracts generally succeeds to the
status of the surrendered contract. If the surrendered contract was issued prior
to August 14, 1982, the tax rules that formerly provided that the surrender was
taxable only to the extent the amount received exceeds the Contract Owner's
investment in the Contract, will continue to apply. In contrast, Contracts
issued on or after January 19, 1985 are, in a Code Section 1035 exchange,
treated as new Contracts for purposes of the distribution-at-death rules.
Special rules and procedures apply to Code Section 1035 transactions.
Prospective Contract Owners wishing to take advantage of Code Section 1035
should consult their tax advisers.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
Code Section 72(e)(11)(A)(ii) provides that for Contracts entered into after
October 21, 1988, for purposes of determining the amount of any distribution
under Code Section 72(e) (amounts not received as annuities) that is includable
in gross income, all non-qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same
insurer (or affiliate) to the same Contract Owner during any calendar year are
to be aggregated and treated as one contract. Thus, any amount received under
any such contract prior to the Contract Maturity Date, such as a withdrawal,
dividend or loan, will be taxable (and possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax)
to the extent of the combined income in all such contracts.
The U.S. Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations
that prevent the avoidance of Code Section 72(e) through the serial purchase of
annuity contracts or otherwise. In addition, there may be situations where the
Treasury may conclude that it would be appropriate to aggregate two or more
contracts purchased by the same Contract Owner. Accordingly, a Contract Owner
should consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing more than one Contract
or other annuity contracts.
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
DIVERSIFICATION REGULATIONS
To comply with the diversification regulations under Code Section 817(h)
("Diversification Regulations"), after a start-up period, each Series of the
Funds will be required to diversify its investments. The Diversification
Regulations generally require that, on the last day of each calendar quarter
that the Series' assets be invested in no more than:
[diamond] 55% in any 1 investment
[diamond] 70% in any 2 investments
[diamond] 80% in any 3 investments
[diamond] 90% in any 4 investments
A "look-through" rule applies to treat a pro rata portion of each asset of a
Series as an asset of the Account, and each
20
<PAGE>
Series of the Funds are tested for compliance with the percentage limitations.
All securities of the same issuer are treated as a single investment. As a
result of the 1988 Act, each government agency or instrumentality will be
treated as a separate issuer for purposes of these limitations.
The U.S. Treasury Department has indicated that the Diversification
Regulations do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which
Contract Owner control of the investments of the Account will cause the Contract
Owner to be treated as the owner of the assets of the Account, thereby resulting
in the loss of favorable tax treatment for the Contract. At this time, it cannot
be determined whether additional guidance will be provided and what standards
may be contained in such guidance. The amount of Contract Owner control which
may be exercised under the Contract is different in some respects from the
situations addressed in published rulings issued by the IRS in which was held
that the Contract Owner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account.
It is unknown whether these differences, such as the Contract Owner's ability to
transfer among investment choices or the number and type of investment choices
available, would cause the Contract Owner to be considered as the Owner of the
assets of the Account resulting in the imposition of federal income tax to the
Contract Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to
receipt of payments under the Contract.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set forth a
new position, such guidance or ruling generally will be applied only
prospectively. However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set
forth a new position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the Contract
Owner being retroactively determined to be the Owner of the assets of the
Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, we reserve the right to modify the
Contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
Phoenix has represented that it intends to comply with the Diversification
Regulations to assure that the Contracts continue to be treated as annuity
contracts for federal income tax purposes.
DIVERSIFICATION REGULATIONS AND QUALIFIED PLANS
Code Section 817(h) applies to a variable annuity contract other than a
pension plan contract. The Diversification Regulations reiterate that the
diversification requirements do not apply to a pension plan contract. All of the
Qualified Plans (described below) are defined as pension plan contracts for
these purposes. Notwithstanding the exception of Qualified Plan Contracts from
application of the diversification rules, all investments of the Phoenix
Qualified Plan Contracts (i.e., the Funds) will be structured to comply with the
diversification standards because the Funds serve as the investment vehicle for
non-qualified Contracts as well as Qualified Plan Contracts.
QUALIFIED PLANS
The Contracts may be used with several types of Qualified Plans. TSAs,
Keoghs, IRAs, Corporate Pension and Profit-sharing Plans and State Deferred
Compensation Plans will be treated, for purposes of this discussion, as
Qualified Plans. The tax rules applicable to participants in such Qualified
Plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the
plan itself. No attempt is made here to provide more than general information
about the use of the Contracts with the various types of Qualified Plans.
Participants under such Qualified Plans as well as Contract Owners, Annuitants
and beneficiaries, are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits
under such Qualified Plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the
plans themselves or limited by applicable law, regardless of the terms and
conditions of the Contract issued in connection therewith. For example, we will
accept beneficiary designations and payment instructions under the terms of the
Contract without regard to any spousal consents that may be required under the
Retirement Equity Act (REA). Consequently, a Contract Owner's beneficiary
designation or elected payment option may not be enforceable.
Effective January 1, 1993, Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code was
amended to change the roll-over rules applicable to the taxable portions of
distributions from qualified pension and profit-sharing plans and Section 403(b)
TSA arrangements. Taxable distributions eligible to be rolled over generally
will be subject to 20% income tax withholding. Mandatory withholding can be
avoided only if the employee arranges for a direct rollover to another qualified
pension or profit-sharing plan or to an IRA.
The new mandatory withholding rules apply to all taxable distributions from
qualified plans or TSAs (not including IRAs), except (a) distributions required
under the Code, (b) substantially equal distributions made over the life (or
life expectancy) of the employee, or for a term certain of 10 years or more and
(c) the portion of distributions not includable in gross income (i.e., return of
after-tax contributions).
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V.
NORRIS that optional annuity benefits provided under an employer's deferred
compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
vary between men and women. The Contracts sold by Phoenix in connection with
certain Qualified Plans will utilize annuity tables which do not differentiate
on the basis of sex. Such annuity tables also will be available for use in
connection with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
Numerous changes have been made to the income tax rules governing Qualified
Plans as a result of legislation enacted during the past several years,
including rules with respect to: coverage, participation, maximum contributions,
required distributions, penalty taxes on early or insufficient distributions and
income tax withholding on distributions. The following are general descriptions
of the various types
21
<PAGE>
of Qualified Plans and of the use of the contracts in connection therewith.
TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES ("TSAS")
Code Section 403(b) permits public school systems and certain types of
charitable, educational and scientific organizations, generally specified in
Code Section 501(c)(3) to purchase annuity contracts on behalf of their
employees and, subject to certain limitations, allows employees of those
organizations to exclude the amount of payments from gross income for federal
income tax purposes. These annuity contracts are commonly referred to as TSAs.
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1988, Code Section 403(b)(11)
imposes certain restrictions on a Contract Owner's ability to make partial
withdrawals from, or surrenders of, Code Section 403(b) Contracts, if the cash
withdrawn is attributable to payments made under a salary reduction agreement.
Specifically, Code Section 403(b)(11) allows a Contract Owner to make a
surrender or partial withdrawal only (a) when the employee attains age 59 1/2,
separates from service, dies or becomes disabled (as defined in the Code), or
(b) in the case of hardship. In the case of hardship, the distribution amount
cannot include any income earned under the Contract.
The 1988 Act amended the effective date of Code Section 403(b)(11), so that
it applies only with respect to distributions from Code Section 403(b) Contracts
which are attributable to assets other than assets held as of the close of the
last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Thus, the distribution restrictions
do not apply to assets held as of December 31, 1988.
In addition, in order for certain types of contributions under a Code
Section 403(b) Contract to be excluded from taxable income, the employer must
comply with certain nondiscrimination requirements. Contract Owners should
consult their employers to determine whether the employer has complied with
these rules. Contract Owner loans are not allowed under the Contracts.
KEOGH PLANS
The Self-Employed Individual Tax Retirement Act of 1962, as amended, permits
self-employed individuals to establish "Keoghs" or qualified plans for
themselves and their employees. The tax consequences to participants under such
a plan depend upon the terms of the plan. In addition, such plans are limited by
law with respect to the maximum permissible contributions, distribution dates,
nonforfeitability of interests, and tax rates applicable to distributions. In
order to establish such a plan, a plan document must be adopted and implemented
by the employer, as well as approved by the IRS.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Code Sections 408 and 408A permit eligible individuals to contribute to an
individual retirement program known as an "IRA." These IRAs are subject to
limitations on the amount which may be contributed, the persons who may be
eligible and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition,
distributions from certain other types of Qualified Plans may be placed on a
tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Effective January 1, 1997, employers may
establish a new type of IRA called SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for
Employees). Special rules apply to participants' contributions to and
withdrawals from SIMPLE IRAs. Also effective January 1, 1997, salary reduction
IRAs (SARSEP) no longer may be established. Effective January 1, 1998,
individuals may establish Roth IRAs. Special rules also apply to contributions
to and withdrawals from Roth IRAs.
CORPORATE PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
Code Section 401(a) permits corporate employers to establish various types
of retirement plans for employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase
of Contracts to provide benefits thereunder.
These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide
benefits under the Plan. Contributions to the Plan for the benefit of employees
will not be includible in the gross income of the employee until distributed
from the Plan. The tax consequences to participants may vary depending upon the
particular Plan design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on
all Plans, including on items such as: amount of allowable contributions; form,
manner and timing of distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and
nonforfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and
participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and
surrenders. Participant loans are not allowed under the Contracts purchased in
connection with these Plans. Purchasers of Contracts for use with Corporate
Pension or Profit-sharing Plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax
treatment and suitability of such an investment.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS WITH RESPECT TO SERVICE FOR STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS
Code Section 457 provides for certain deferred compensation plans with
respect to service for state and local governments and certain other entities.
The Contracts may be used in connection with these plans; however, under these
plans if issued to tax exempt organizations, the Contract Owner is the plan
sponsor, and the individual participants in the plans are the Annuitants. Under
such Contracts, the rights of individual plan participants are governed solely
by their agreements with the plan sponsor and not by the terms of the Contracts.
Effective in 1997 for new state and local government plans, such plans must be
funded through a tax exempt annuity contract held for the exclusive benefit of
plan participants.
PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS FROM QUALIFIED PLANS
In the case of a withdrawal under a Qualified Plan, a ratable portion of the
amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual's
cost basis to the individual's total accrued benefit under the retirement plan.
Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions
22
<PAGE>
from a Qualified Plan. Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on
the taxable portion of any distribution from qualified retirement plans,
including Contracts issued and qualified under Code Sections 401 (Keogh and
Corporate Pension and Profit-sharing Plans), Tax-Sheltered Annuities and
Individual Retirement Annuities other than Roth IRAs. The penalty is increased
to 25% instead of 10% for SIMPLE IRAs if distribution occurs within the first
two years of the Contract Owner's participation in the SIMPLE IRA. To the extent
amounts are not includable in gross income because they have been properly
rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible Qualified Plan, no tax penalty will
be imposed. The tax penalty will not apply to the following distributions:
(a) if distribution is made on or after the date on which the Contract Owner or
Annuitant (as applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (b) distributions following the
death or disability of the Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) (for this
purpose disability is as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (c) after
separation from service, distributions that are part of substantially equal
periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life
expectancy) of the Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) or the joint
lives (or joint life expectancies) of such Contract Owner or Annuitant (as
applicable) and his or her designated beneficiary; (d) distributions to a
Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) who has separated from service after
he has attained age 55; (e) distributions made to the Contract Owner or
Annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the
amount allowable as a deduction under Code Section 213 to the Contract Owner or
Annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable year for medical
care; (f) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order; (g) distributions from an IRA for the purchase of
medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the
Contract Owner and his or her spouse and dependents if the Contract Owner has
received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks; and (h) distributions
from IRAs for first-time home purchase expenses (maximum $10,000) or certain
qualified educational expenses of the Contract Owner, spouse, children or
grandchildren of the Contract Owner. This exception will no longer apply after
the Contract Owner has been reemployed for at least 60 days. The exceptions
stated in items (d) and (f) above do not apply in the case of an IRA. The
exception stated in item (c) applies to an IRA without the requirement that
there be a separation from service.
Generally, distributions from a Qualified Plan must commence no later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year in which the
employee attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the employee
retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to a regular or SIMPLE IRA and
the required distribution rules do not apply to Roth IRAs. Required
distributions must be over a period not exceeding the life expectancy of the
individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the individual and his or
her designated beneficiary. If the required minimum distributions are not made,
a 50% penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed.
SEEK TAX ADVICE
The above description of federal income tax consequences of the different
types of Qualified Plans which may be funded by the Contracts offered by this
Prospectus is only a brief summary meant to alert you to the issues and is not
intended as tax advice. The rules governing the provisions of Qualified Plans
are extremely complex and often difficult to comprehend. Anything less than full
compliance with the applicable rules, all of which are subject to change, may
have adverse tax consequences. A prospective Contract Owner considering adoption
of a Qualified Plan and purchase of a Contract in connection therewith should
first consult a qualified tax adviser, with regard to the suitability of the
Contract as an investment vehicle for the Qualified Plan.
SALES OF VARIABLE ACCUMULATION CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The principal underwriter of the Contracts is PEPCO. Contracts may be
purchased through registered representatives of W.S. Griffith & Company, Inc.
("WSG") who are licensed to sell our annuity contracts. WSG is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix. PEPCO is an indirect, majority owned
subsidiary of Phoenix. Contracts also may be purchased through other
broker-dealers or entities registered under or exempt under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, whose representatives are authorized by applicable law to
sell Contracts under terms of agreement provided by PEPCO and terms of agreement
provided by us.
In addition to reimbursing PEPCO for its expenses, we pay PEPCO an amount
equal to up to 7.25% of the payments made under the Contract. PEPCO pays any
qualified distribution organization an amount which may not exceed 7.25% of the
payments under the Contract. Any such amount paid with respect to Contracts sold
through other broker-dealers will be paid by us to or through PEPCO. The amounts
paid are not deducted from the payments. Deductions for surrender charges (as
described under "Surrender Charges") may be used as reimbursement for commission
payments.
Although the Glass-Steagall Act prohibits banks and bank affiliates from
engaging in the business of underwriting securities, banking regulators have not
indicated that such institutions are prohibited from purchasing variable annuity
contracts upon the order and for the account of their customers.
STATE REGULATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are subject to the provisions of the New York insurance laws applicable
to life insurance companies and to regulation and supervision by the New York
Superintendent
23
<PAGE>
of Insurance. We are also subject to the applicable insurance laws of all the
other states and jurisdictions in which we do insurance business.
State regulation of Phoenix includes certain limitations on the investments
which may be made for its General Account and separate accounts, including the
Account. It does not include, however, any supervision over the investment
policies of the Account.
REPORTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports showing the Contract Value and containing the financial statements
of the Account will be furnished to you at least annually.
VOTING RIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As stated above, all of the assets held in an available Subaccount will be
invested in shares of a corresponding Series of the Funds. We are the legal
owner of those shares and as such have the right to vote to elect the Board of
Trustees of the Funds, to vote upon certain matters that are required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") to be approved or ratified by the
shareholders of a mutual fund and to vote upon any other matter that may be
voted upon at a shareholders' meeting. However, we intend to vote the shares of
the Funds at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of the Funds in
accordance with instructions received from Owners of the Contracts.
We currently intend to vote Fund shares attributable to any of our assets
and Fund shares held in each Subaccount for which no timely instructions from
Owners are received in the same proportion as those shares in that Subaccount
for which instructions are received. In the future, to the extent applicable
federal securities laws or regulations permit us to vote some or all shares of
the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Matters on which Owners may give voting instructions may include the
following: (1) election of the Board of Trustees of a Fund; (2) ratification of
the independent accountant for a Fund; (3) approval or amendment of the
investment advisory agreement for the Series of the Fund corresponding to the
Owner's selected Subaccount(s); (4) any change in the fundamental investment
policies or restrictions of each such Series; and (5) any other matter requiring
a vote of the Shareholders of a Fund. With respect to amendment of any
investment advisory agreement or any change in a Series' fundamental investment
policy, Owners participating in such Series will vote separately on the matter.
The number of votes that you have the right to cast will be determined by
applying your percentage interest in a Subaccount to the total number of votes
attributable to the Subaccount. In determining the number of votes, fractional
shares will be recognized. The number of votes for which you may give us
instructions will be determined as of the record date for Fund shareholders
chosen by the Board of Trustees of a Fund. We will furnish you with proper forms
and proxies to enable them to give these instructions.
TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Participants in the Texas Optional Retirement Program may not receive the
proceeds of a withdrawal from, or complete surrender of, a Contract, or apply
them to provide annuity options prior to retirement except in the case of
termination of employment in the Texas public institutions of higher education,
death or total disability. Such proceeds, however, may be used to fund another
eligible retirement vehicle.

APPENDIX A
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time, the Account may include the performance history of any or
all Subaccounts in advertisements, sales literature or reports. PERFORMANCE
INFORMATION ABOUT EACH SUBACCOUNT IS BASED ON PAST PERFORMANCE ONLY AND IS NOT
AN INDICATION OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. Performance information may be expressed as
yield and effective yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount and as
total return of any Subaccount.
When a Subaccount advertises its total return, it usually will be calculated
for one year, five years and ten years or since inception if the Subaccount has
not been in existence for at least ten years. Total return is measured by
comparing the value of a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the Subaccount at the
beginning of the relevant period to the value of the investment at the end of
the period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value
and the deduction of all applicable Contract charges except for premium taxes
(which vary by state) at the beginning of the relevant period.
For those Subaccounts within the Account that have not been available for
one of the quoted periods, the standardized average annual total return
quotations may show the investment performance such Subaccount would have
achieved (reduced by the applicable charges) had it been available to invest in
shares of the Fund for the period quoted.

<PAGE>
Current yield for the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount is based upon
the income earned by the Subaccount over a 7-day period and then annualized,
i.e., the income earned in the period is assumed to be earned every seven days
over a 52-week period and stated as a percentage of the investment. Effective
yield is calculated similarly but when annualized, the income earned by the
investment is assumed to be reinvested in Subaccount Units and thus compounded
in the course of a 52-week period. Yield and effective yield reflect the
recurring charges on the Account level excluding the annual administrative fee.
Yield calculations of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount used for
illustration purposes are based on the consideration of a hypothetical Contract
Owner's account having a balance of exactly one Unit at the beginning of a 7-day
period, which period will end on the date of the most recent financial
statements. The yield for the Subaccount during this 7-day period will be the
change in the value of the hypothetical Contract Owner's account's original
unit. The following is an example of this yield quotation for the
Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount based on a 7-day period ending December
31, 1999.
Example:
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly one
unit at the beginning of the period:..................... $1.478155
Value of the same account (excluding capital changes) at the
end of the 7-day period:................................. 1.479245
Calculation:
Ending account value..................................... 1.479245
Less beginning value..................................... 1.478155
Net change in account value.............................. 0.001090
Base period return:
(adjusted change/beginning account value)................ 0.000737
Current yield = return x (365/7)........................... 3.85%
Effective yield = [(1 + return) ](365/7) -1................ 3.92%
The current yield and effective yield information will fluctuate, and
publication of yield information may not provide a basis for comparison with
bank deposits, other investments which are insured and/or pay a fixed yield for
a stated period of time, or other investment companies, due to charges which
will be deducted on the Account level.
A Subaccount's performance may be compared to that of the Consumer Price
Index or various unmanaged equity or bond indices such as the Dow Jones
Industrial Average(SM), the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index
("S&P 500"), and the Europe Australia Far East Index, and also may be compared
to the performance of the other variable annuity accounts as reported by
services such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ("CDA") and Morningstar, Inc. or in other various
publications. Lipper and CDA are widely recognized independent rating/ranking
services. A Subaccount's performance also may be compared to that of other
investment or savings vehicles.
Advertisements, sales literature and other communications may contain
information about any Series' or Advisers' current investment strategies and
management style. Current strategies and style may change to respond to a
changing market and economic conditions. From time to time, the Series may
discuss specific portfolio holdings or industries in such communications. To
illustrate components of overall performance, the Series may separate their
cumulative and average annual returns into income results and capital gains or

APPENDIX B
THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contributions to the GIA under the Contract and transfers to the GIA become
part of the general account of Phoenix (the "General Account"), which supports
insurance and annuity obligations. Because of exemptive and exclusionary
provisions, interest in the General Account has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") nor is the General Account registered as an
investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the General Account
nor any interest therein is specifically subject to the provisions of the 1933
or 1940 Acts and the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this
Prospectus concerning the GIA. Disclosures regarding the GIA and the General
Account, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of
the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of
statements made in prospectuses.
The General Account is made up of all of the general assets of Phoenix other
than those allocated to any separate account. Purchase payments will be
allocated to the GIA and, therefore, the General Account, as elected by the
Owner at the time of purchase or as subsequently changed. Phoenix will invest
the assets of the General Account in assets chosen by it and allowed by
applicable law. Investment income from General Account assets is allocated
between Phoenix and the contracts participating in the General Account, in
accordance with the terms of such contracts.
Fixed annuity payments made to Annuitants under the Contract will not be
affected by the mortality experience (death rate) of persons receiving such
payments or of the general population. Phoenix assumes this "mortality risk" by
virtue of annuity rates incorporated in the Contract that cannot be changed. In
addition, Phoenix guarantees that it will not increase charges for maintenance
of the Contracts regardless of its actual expenses.
Investment income from the General Account allocated to Phoenix includes
compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by it in connection with
General Account contracts.
The amount of investment income allocated to the Contracts will vary from
year to year in the sole discretion of Phoenix. However, Phoenix guarantees that
it will credit interest at a rate of not less than 4% per year, compounded
annually, to amounts allocated to the GIA. Phoenix may credit interest at a rate
in excess of 4% per year; however, it is not obligated to credit interest in
excess of 4% per year.
On the last business day of each calendar week, Phoenix will set the excess
interest rate, if any, that will apply to amounts deposited to the GIA. That
rate will remain in effect for such deposits for an initial guarantee period of
one full year from the date of deposit. Upon expiration of the initial one-year
guarantee period (and each subsequent one-year guarantee period thereafter), the
rate to be applied to any deposits whose guaranteed period has just ended will
be the same rate as is applied to new deposits allocated to the GIA at that
time. This rate will likewise remain in effect for a guarantee period of one
full year from the date the new rate is applied.
Excess interest, if any, will be determined by Phoenix based on information
as to expected investment yields. Some of the factors that Phoenix may consider
in determining whether to credit excess interest to amounts allocated to the GIA
and the amount thereof, are general economic trends, rates of return currently
available and anticipated on investments, regulatory and tax requirements and
competitive factors. ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE GIA IN
EXCESS OF 4% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF PHOENIX AND
WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY SPECIFIC FORMULA. THE CONTRACT OWNER ASSUMES THE RISK THAT
INTEREST CREDITED TO GIA ALLOCATIONS MAY NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 4%
FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR.
Phoenix is aware of no statutory limitations on the maximum amount of
interest it may credit, and the Board of Directors has set no limitations.
However, inherent in Phoenix's exercise of discretion in this regard is the
equitable allocation of distributable earnings and surplus among its various
policyholders and Contract Owners.
Excess interest, if any, will be credited on the GIA Contract Value. Phoenix
guarantees that, at any time, the GIA Contract Value will not be less than the
amount of purchase payments allocated to the GIA, plus interest at the rate of
4% per year, compounded annually, plus any additional interest which Phoenix
may, in its discretion, credit to the GIA, less the sum of any applicable annual
administrative or surrender charges, any applicable premium taxes, and less any
amounts surrendered. If the Owner surrenders the Contract, the amount available
from the GIA will be reduced by any applicable surrender charge and annual
administration charge (see "Deductions and Charges").
IN GENERAL, YOU CAN MAKE ONLY ONE TRANSFER PER YEAR FROM THE GIA. THE AMOUNT
THAT CAN BE TRANSFERRED OUT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $2,000 OR 25% OF THE
CONTRACT VALUE IN THE GIA AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSFER. IF YOU ELECT THE
SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PROGRAM, APPROXIMATELY EQUAL AMOUNTS MAY BE TRANSFERRED OUT
OF THE GIA OVER A MINIMUM 18-MONTH PERIOD. ALSO, THE TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE
ALLOCATED TO THE GIA MAY BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE GIA TO ONE OR MORE OF THE
SUBACCOUNTS OF THE ACCOUNT OVER A CONSECUTIVE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD ACCORDING TO THE
FOLLOWING ANNUALLY RENEWABLE SCHEDULE.
YEAR ONE: 25% YEAR TWO: 33% YEAR THREE: 50% YEAR FOUR: 100%

SPECIAL TERMS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a list of terms and their meanings when used in this
Prospectus.
ACCOUNT (VA ACCOUNT): Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account.
ACCOUNT VALUE: The value of all assets held in the Account.
ACCUMULATION UNIT: A standard of measurement for each subaccount used to
determine the value of a contract and the interest in the subaccounts prior to
the start of annuity payments.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE: The value of one accumulation unit was set at $1.0000
on the date assets were first allocated to each subaccount. The value of one
accumulation unit on any subsequent valuation date is determined by multiplying
the immediately preceding accumulation unit value by the applicable net
investment factor for the valuation period ending on such valuation date.
ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS: The result of multiplying the ratio of the partial
withdrawal to the contract value and the death benefit (prior to the withdrawal)
on the date of the withdrawal.
ANNUAL ROLL-UP AMOUNT (ROLL-UP AMOUNT): In the first contract year the Annual
Roll-up Amount is equal to the initial premium payment. After that, in any
following contract year the Annual Roll-up Amount is equal to the Roll-up Amount
at the end of the last contract year multiplied by a factor of 1.05, plus 100%
of premium payments, less adjusted partial withdrawals made since the end of the
prior contract year. The Roll-up Amount may not be greater than 200% of total
premium payments less adjusted partial withdrawals.
ANNUAL STEP-UP AMOUNT (STEP-UP AMOUNT): In the first contract year the Step-up
Amount is the greater of (1) 100% of purchase payments less adjusted partial
withdrawals; or (2) the contract value. After that, in any following contract
year the Step-up Amount equals the greater of (1) the Step-up Amount at the end
of the prior contract year, plus 100% of premium payments, less adjusted partial
withdrawals made since the end of the last contract year; or (2) the contract
value.
ANNUITANT: The person whose life is used as the measuring life under the
contract. The annuitant will be the primary annuitant as shown on the contract's
Schedule Page while that person is living, and will then be the contingent
annuitant, if that person is living at the death of the primary annuitant.
ANNUITY OPTION: The provisions under which we make a series of annuity payments
to the annuitant or other payee, such as Life Annuity with Ten Years Certain.
See "Annuity Options."
ANNUITY UNIT: A standard of measurement used in determining the amount of each
periodic payment under the variable payment Annuity Options I, J, K, M and N.
BENEFIT OPTIONS (BENEFIT OPTION, OPTION): The form of contract selected which
determines the method of death benefit calculation and the amount of mortality
and expense risk charge.
CLAIM DATE: The valuation date following receipt of a certified copy of the
death certificate at VPMO.
CONTRACT: The deferred variable accumulation annuity contract described in this
Prospectus.
CONTRACT OWNER (OWNER, YOU, YOUR): Usually the person or entity to whom we issue
the contract. The contract owner has the sole right to exercise all rights and
privileges under the contract as provided in the contract. The owner may be the
annuitant, an employer, a trust or any other individual or entity specified in
the contract application. However, under contracts used with certain tax
qualified plans, the owner must be the annuitant. If no owner is named in the
application, the annuitant will be the owner.
CONTRACT VALUE: Prior to the maturity date, the sum of all accumulation units
held in the subaccounts of the Account and the value held in the GIA. For
Tax-sheltered Annuity plans (as described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 403(b))
with loans, the contract value is the sum of all accumulation units held in the
subaccounts of the Account and the value held in the GIA plus the value held in
the Loan Security Account, and less any Loan Debt.
FIXED PAYMENT ANNUITY: A benefit providing periodic payments of a fixed dollar
amount throughout the Annuity Period. This benefit does not vary with or reflect
the investment performance of any subaccount.
FUNDS: The Phoenix Edge Series Fund, Deutsche Asset Management VIT Funds,
Federated Insurance Series, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products
Trust, The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc., and Wanger Advisors Trust.
GIA: An investment option under which premium amounts are guaranteed to earn a
fixed rate of interest.
ISSUE DATE: The date that the initial premium payment is invested under a
contract.
LOAN DEBT: Loan Debt is equal to the sum of the outstanding loan balance plus
any accrued loan interest.
LOAN SECURITY ACCOUNT: The Loan Security Account is part of the general account
and is the sole security for Tax-sheltered Annuity (as described in IRC 403(b))
loans. It is increased with all loan amounts taken and reduced by all repayments
of loan principal.
MATURITY DATE: The date elected by the owner as to when annuity payments will
begin. The maturity date will not be any earlier than the fifth contract
anniversary and no
4
<PAGE>
later than the annuitant's 90th birthday. The election is subject to certain
conditions described in "The Annuity Period."
MINIMUM INITIAL PAYMENT: The amount that you pay when you purchase a contract.
We require minimum initial payments of:
[diamond] Non-qualified plans--$1,000
[diamond] Individual Retirement Annuity--$1,000
[diamond] Bank draft program--$25
[diamond] Qualified plans--$1,000 annually
MINIMUM SUBSEQUENT PAYMENT: The least amount that you may pay when you make any
subsequent payments, after the minimum initial payment (see above). The minimum
subsequent payment for all contracts is $25.
NET ASSET VALUE: Net asset value of a Series' shares is computed by dividing the
value of the net assets of the Series by the total number of Series outstanding
shares.
PAYMENT UPON DEATH: The obligation of Phoenix under a contract to make a payment
on the death of the owner or annuitant anytime: (a) before the maturity date of
a contract (see "Payment Upon Death Before maturity date") or (b) after the
maturity date of a contract (see "Payment Upon Death After Maturity Date").
PHOENIX (OUR, US, WE, COMPANY): Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company.
SERIES: A separate investment portfolio of a Fund.
SEVEN YEAR STEP-UP AMOUNT (7-YEAR STEP-UP AMOUNT): In the first 7 contract
years, the 7-Year Step-up Amount equals 100% of purchase payments less adjusted
partial withdrawals. In any subsequent 7-year period, the 7-Year Step-up Amount
is the amount that would have been paid on the prior 7th contract anniversary
plus 100% of payments less adjusted partial withdrawals made since the prior 7th
contract anniversary.
VALUATION DATE: A Valuation Date is every day the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") is open for trading.
VAO: Variable Annuity Operations.
VARIABLE PAYMENT ANNUITY: An annuity providing payments that vary in amounts,
according to the investment experience of the selected subaccounts.

</TABLE>
The purpose of the tables above is to assist you in understanding the
various costs and expenses that your contract will bear directly or indirectly.
It is based on historical Fund expenses, as a percentage of net assets for the
year ended December 31, 1999, except as indicated. The tables reflect expenses
of the Account as well as the Funds. See "Deductions and Charges" in this
Prospectus and in the Fund Prospectuses. Please note that the .05% charge for
the Enhanced Option 1 Rider is not included in the tables above.
Premium taxes, which are not reflected in the table above, may apply. We
will charge any premium or other taxes levied by any governmental entity with
respect to your contract against the contract values based on a percentage of
premiums paid. Certain states currently impose premium taxes on the contracts
ranging from 0% to 3.5% of premiums paid. See "Deductions and Charges--Premium
Tax" and Appendix C.
The Examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses.
Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. See "Deductions and
Charges."

CONTRACT SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This summary describes the general provisions of the contract.
Certain provisions of the contract described in this prospectus may differ
in a particular state because of specific state requirements.
If there is ever a difference between the provisions within this prospectus
and the provisions of the contract, the contract provisions will control.
OVERVIEW
The contract offers a dynamic idea in retirement planning. It is designed to
give you maximum flexibility in obtaining your investment goals.
The contract offers a combination of investment options, both variable and
fixed. Investments in the variable options provide results which vary and depend
upon the performance of the underlying Fund, while investments in the GIA
provide guaranteed interest earnings subject to certain conditions. Please refer
to "Appendix B" for a detailed discussion of the GIA.
You also select a benefit option which is suitable in meeting your financial
objectives. Each benefit option differs in the amount of mortality and expense
risk charge, in how the death benefit is calculated and in the amount of
contract value you may withdraw without surrender charges each contract year.
See "The Accumulation Period--Payment Upon Death Before the Maturity Date" for a
complete description.
INVESTMENT FEATURES
FLEXIBLE PAYMENTS
[diamond] You may make payments anytime until the maturity date.
[diamond] You can vary the amount and frequency of your payments.
[diamond] Other than the Minimum Initial Payment, there are no required
payments.
MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION
[diamond] Generally, the Minimum Initial Payment is $1,000.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND CONTRACT VALUE
[diamond] Payments are invested in one or more of the subaccounts and the GIA.
[diamond] Transfers between the subaccounts and into the GIA can be made
anytime. Transfers from the GIA are subject to rules discussed in
Appendix B and in "The Accumulation Period--Transfers."
[diamond] The contract value varies with the investment performance of the Funds
and is not guaranteed.
[diamond] The contract value allocated to the GIA will depend on deductions
taken from the GIA and interest accumulation at rates set by us
(minimum--3%).
WITHDRAWALS
[diamond] You may partially or fully surrender the contract anytime for its
contract value less any applicable surrender charge and premium tax.
[diamond] Each year you may withdraw part of your contract value free of any
surrender charges. During the first contract year, you may withdraw up
to 10% of the contract value as of the date of the first partial
withdrawal without surrender charges. After that, depending on the
benefit option selected, any unused percentage of the free withdrawal
amount from prior years may be carried forward to the current contract
year (up to a maximum of 30% of your contract value as of the last
contract anniversary). Please refer to "Deductions and
Charges--Surrender Charges" for a complete description.
DEATH BENEFIT
The death benefit is calculated differently under each benefit option and
the amount varies based on the Option selected.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
FROM THE CONTRACT VALUE

[diamond] A deduction for surrender charges may occur when you surrender your
contract or request a withdrawal if the assets have not been held
under the contract for a specified period of time.

[diamond] No surrender charges are taken upon the death of the annuitant or
owner before the maturity date.
[diamond] A declining surrender charge is assessed on withdrawals in excess of
the free withdrawal amount, based on the date the payments are
deposited:

PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
(SELECTED DATA FOR AN ACCUMULATION UNIT OUTSTANDING THROUGHOUT
THE INDICATED PERIOD)
The subaccounts commenced operations as of the date of this Prospectus;
therefore, data for these subaccounts is not yet available.
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We may include the performance history of the subaccounts in advertisements,
sales literature or reports. Performance information about each subaccount is
based on past performance only and is not an indication of future performance.
See Appendix A for more information.
THE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ANNUITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The individual deferred variable accumulation annuity contract issued by
Phoenix is significantly different from a fixed annuity contract in that, unless
the GIA is selected, it is the owner and annuitant under a contract who bear the
risk of investment gain or loss rather than Phoenix. To the extent that payments
are not allocated to the GIA, the amounts that will be available for annuity
payments under a contract will depend on the investment performance of the
amounts allocated to the subaccounts. Upon the maturity of a contract, the
amounts held under a contract will continue to be invested in the Account or the
GIA and monthly annuity payments will vary in accordance with the investment
experience of the investment options selected. However, a fixed annuity may be
elected, in which case Phoenix will guarantee specified monthly annuity
payments.
You select the investment objective of each contract on a continuing basis
by directing the allocation of payments and the reallocation of the contract
value among the subaccounts and the GIA.
PHOENIX AND THE ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phoenix is a mutual life insurance company originally chartered in
Connecticut in 1851 and redomiciled to New York in 1992. Our executive office is
located at One American Row, Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5056 and our main
administrative office is located at 100 Bright Meadow Boulevard, Enfield,
Connecticut 06083-1900. The principal office is located at 10 Krey Boulevard,
East Greenbush, New York 12144. Phoenix sells variable annuity contracts through
our own field force of agents and through brokers. On April 17, 2000, the Board
of Directors of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company authorized management
to develop a plan for conversion from a mutual to a publicly traded stock
company. If such a plan is developed and adopted by the Board, it would be
subject to the approval of the New York Insurance Department and other
regulators and submitted to policyholders for approval. The plan would go into
effect only after all these requirements had been met. There is no assurance
that any such plan will be adopted, and if adopted, there is no guarantee as to
the amount or nature of consideration to eligible policyholders.
On June 21, 1982, we established the Account, a separate account created
under the insurance laws of Connecticut. The Account is registered with the SEC
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act") and it meets the definition of a "separate account" under the 1940 Act.
Registration under the 1940 Act does not involve supervision by the SEC of the
management or investment practices or policies of Phoenix or the Account.
On July 1, 1992, the Account's domicile was transferred to New York. Under
New York law and the contracts, all income, gains or losses of the Account must
be credited to or charged against the amounts placed in the Account without
regard to the other income, gains and losses from any other business or activity
of Phoenix. The assets of the Account may not be used to pay liabilities arising
out of any other business that we may conduct. Obligations under the contracts
are obligations of Phoenix.
Contributions to the GIA are not invested in the Account; rather, they
become part of the general account of Phoenix (the "General Account"). The
General Account supports all insurance and annuity obligations of Phoenix and is
made up of all of its general assets other than those allocated to any separate
account such as the Account. For more complete information concerning the GIA,
see Appendix A.

series will achieve its stated investment objective.
In addition to being sold to the Account, shares of the Funds also may be
sold to other separate accounts of Phoenix or its affiliates or to the separate
accounts of other insurance companies.
It is possible that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the Fund(s) simultaneously. Although neither we nor the Fund(s)
trustees currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable life
insurance policyowners or to variable annuity contract owners, the Funds'
trustees intend to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts
between variable life insurance policyowners and variable annuity contract
owners and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such
conflicts. Material conflicts could, for example, result from (1) changes in
state insurance laws, (2) changes in federal income tax laws, (3) changes in the
investment management of any portfolio of the Fund(s) or (4) differences in
voting instructions between those given by variable life insurance policyowners
and those given by variable annuity contract owners. We will, at our own
expense, remedy such material conflicts, including, if necessary, segregating
the assets underlying the variable life insurance policies and the variable
annuity contracts and establishing a new registered investment company.

SERVICES OF THE ADVISORS

for the funds.
PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generally, we require minimum initial payments of:
[diamond] Non-qualified plans--$1,000
[diamond] Individual Retirement Annuity--$1,000
[diamond] Bank draft program--$25
o You may authorize your bank to draw $25 or more from your
personal checking account monthly to purchase units in any
available subaccount, or for deposit in the GIA. The amount you
designate will be automatically invested on the date the bank draws
on your account. If Check-o-matic is elected, the minimum initial
payment is $25. This payment must accompany the application (if
any). Each subsequent payment under a contract must be at least
$25.
[diamond] Qualified plans--$1,000 annually
o If contracts are purchased in connection with tax-qualified or
employer-sponsored plans, a minimum annual payment of $1,000 is
required.
Generally, a contract may not be purchased for a proposed annuitant who is
81 years of age or older. Total payments in excess of $1,000,000 cannot be made
without our permission. While the annuitant is living and the contract is in
force, payments may be made anytime before the maturity date of a contract.
Payments received under the contracts will be allocated in any combination
to any subaccount or the GIA, in the proportion specified in the application for
the contract or as otherwise indicated by you from time to time. Initial
payments may, under certain circumstances, be allocated to the Phoenix-Goodwin
Money Market Subaccount. See "Free Look Period." Changes in the allocation of
payments will be effective as of receipt by VPMO of notice of election in a form
satisfactory to us (either in writing or by telephone) and will apply to any
payments accompanying such notice or made subsequent to the receipt of the
notice, unless otherwise requested by you.
In certain circumstances we may reduce the initial or subsequent premium
payment amount we accept for a contract. Factors in determining qualifications
for any such reduction include:
(1) the make-up and size of the prospective group;
(2) the method and frequency of premium payments; and
(3) the amount of compensation to be paid to Registered Representatives on
each premium payment.
Any reduction will not unfairly discriminate against any person. We will
make any such reduction according to our own rules in effect at the time the
premium payment is received. We reserve the right to change these rules from
time to time.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEDUCTIONS FROM THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
PREMIUM TAX
Whether or not a premium tax is imposed will depend upon, among other
things, the owner's state of residence, the annuitant's state of residence, our
status within those states and the insurance tax laws of those states. Premium
taxes on contracts currently range from 0% to 3.5%. We will pay any premium tax
due and will reimburse Phoenix only upon the earlier of either full or partial
surrender of the contract, the maturity date or payment of death proceeds. For a
list of states and premium taxes, see Appendix C to this Prospectus.
SURRENDER CHARGES
A deduction for surrender charges for this contract may be taken from
proceeds of partial withdrawals from, or complete surrender of the contract. The
amount (if any) of a surrender charge depends on whether your premium payments
are held under the contract for a certain period of time. The surrender charge
schedule is shown in the chart below. No surrender charge will be taken from
death proceeds. No surrender charge will be taken after the Annuity Period has
begun except with respect to unscheduled withdrawals under Annuity Option K or L
below. See "Annuity Options." Any surrender charge is imposed on a first-in,
first-out basis.
Each year you may withdraw part of your contract value free of any surrender
charges. During the first contract year, you may withdraw up to 10% of the
contract value as of the date of the first partial withdrawal without surrender
charges. After that, depending on the benefit option selected or any optional
benefits you may elect, any unused percentage of the free withdrawal amount from
prior years
21
<PAGE>
may be carried forward to the current contract year (up to a maximum
of 30% of your contract value as of the last contract anniversary).
The amount of free withdrawal available depends on the benefit option you
select as follows:
[diamond] OPTION 1
CONTRACT YEAR 1:
10% of the contract value as of the date of withdrawal
CONTRACT YEARS 2 AND GREATER:
10% of the last contract anniversary value
[diamond] ENHANCED OPTION 1 RIDER
CONTRACT YEAR 1:
10% of the contract value as of the date of withdrawal
CONTRACT YEARS 2 AND GREATER:
10% of the last contract anniversary value PLUS any unused percentage from prior
years may be carried forward to the then current contract year, up to a maximum
of 30% of your contract value as of the last contract anniversary.
This rider is available at an annual cost of .05%.
This charge is assessed against the initial payment at issue and subsequently is
taken against the contract value at the beginning of each contract year on the
contract anniversary.
[diamond] OPTION 2
CONTRACT YEAR 1:
10% of the contract value as of the date of withdrawal
CONTRACT YEARS 2 AND GREATER:
10% of the last contract anniversary value PLUS any unused percentage from prior
years may be carried forward to the then current contract year, up to a maximum
of 30% of your contract value as of the last contract anniversary
The deduction for surrender charges, expressed as a percentage of the amount
withdrawn in excess of the 10% allowable amount, is as follows:
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Percent 7% 7% 6% 6% 5% 4% 3% 0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Age of Payment in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7+
Complete Years
- -------------------------------------------------------------
If the annuitant or owner dies before the maturity date of the contract, the
surrender charge described in the table above will not apply.
The total deferred surrender charges on a contract will never exceed 9% of
total payments, and the applicable level of surrender charge cannot be changed
with respect to outstanding contracts. Surrender charges imposed in connection
with partial surrenders will be deducted from the subaccounts and the GIA on a
pro rata basis. Any distribution costs not paid for by surrender charges will be
paid by Phoenix from the assets of the General Account.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK FEE
We make a daily deduction from each subaccount for the mortality and expense
risk charge. The charge is assessed against the daily net assets of the
subaccounts and varies based on the benefit option you selected. The charge
under each benefit option is equal, on an annual basis to the following
percentages:
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1 - Return Option 2 - Annual
of Premium Step-up
- -------------------------------------------------------------
0.775% 1.125%
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Although you bear the investment risk of the Series in which you invest,
once you begin receiving annuity payments that carry life contingencies the
annuity payments are guaranteed by us to continue for as long as the annuitant
lives. We assume the risk that annuitants as a class may live longer than
expected (requiring a greater number of annuity payments) and that our actual
expenses may be higher than the expense charges provided for in the contract.
In assuming the mortality risk, we promise to make these lifetime annuity
payments to the owner or other payee for as long as the annuitant lives
according to the annuity tables and other provisions of the contract
No mortality and expense risk charge is deducted from the GIA. If the
charges prove insufficient to cover actual administrative costs, then the loss
will be borne by us; conversely, if the amount deducted proves more than
sufficient, the excess will be a profit to us. Any such profit may be used, as
part of our General Account assets, to meet sales expenses, if any, which are in
excess of sales commission revenue generated from any surrender charges.
We have concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
distribution financing arrangement being used in connection with the contract
will benefit the Account and the contract owners.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
We make a daily deduction from Account value to cover the costs of
administration. This fee is based on an annual rate of 0.125% and is taken
against the net assets of the subaccounts. It compensates the Company for
administrative expenses that exceed revenues from the Administrative Charge
described below. (This fee is not deducted from the GIA.)
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
We deduct an administrative charge from the contract value. This charge is
used to reimburse us for some of the administrative expenses we incur in
establishing and maintaining the contracts.
The maximum administrative maintenance charge under a contract is $35. This
charge is deducted annually on the contract anniversary date. It is deducted on
a pro rata basis from the subaccounts and the GIA in which you have an interest.
Any portion of the Administrative Charge from the GIA cannot exceed $30. If you
fully surrender your
22
<PAGE>
contract, the full administrative fee if applicable, will be deducted at the
time of withdrawal. The administrative charge will not be deducted (either
annually or upon withdrawal) if your contract value is $50,000 or more on the
day the administrative charge is due. This charge may be decreased but will
never increase. If you elect Payment Options I, J, K, M or N, the annual
administrative charge after the maturity date will be deducted from each annuity
payment in equal amounts.
REDUCED CHARGES, CREDITS AND BONUS GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES
We may reduce or eliminate the mortality and expense risk fee and the
surrender or annual administrative charge, credit additional amounts or grant
bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates when sales of the contracts are made to certain
individuals or groups of individuals that result in savings of sales expenses.
We will consider the following characteristics:
(1) the size and type of the group of individuals to whom the contract is
offered;
(2) the amount of anticipated premium payments;
(3) whether there is a preexisting relationship with the Company such as being
an employee of the Company or its affiliates and their spouses; or to
employees or agents who retire from the Company or its affiliates or Phoenix
Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO"), or its affiliates or to registered
representatives of the principal underwriter and registered representatives
of broker-dealers with whom PEPCO has selling agreements; and
(4) internal transfers from other contracts issued by the Company or an
affiliate, or making transfers of amounts held under qualified plans
sponsored by the Company or an affiliate.
Any reduction or elimination of surrender or administrative charge will not
be unfairly discriminatory against any person. We will make any reduction
according to our own rules in effect at the time the contract is issued. We
reserve the right to change these rules from time to time.
OTHER CHARGES
As compensation for investment management services, the Advisers are
entitled to a fee, payable monthly and based on an annual percentage of the
average daily net asset values of each Series. These Fund charges and other Fund
expenses are described more fully in the accompanying Fund prospectuses.
THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The accumulation period is that time before annuity payments begin during
which your payments into the contract remain invested.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
Your Initial payments will be applied within two days of
our receipt if the application for a contract is complete. If an incomplete
application is completed within five business days of receipt by VPMO, your
payment will be applied within two days of the completion of the application. If
VPMO does not accept the application within five business days or if an order
form is not completed within five business days of receipt by VPMO, then your
payment will be immediately returned unless you request us to hold it while the
application is completed. Additional payments allocated to the GIA are deposited
on the date of receipt of payment at VPMO. Additional payments allocated to
subaccounts are used to purchase accumulation units of the subaccount(s), at the
value of such units next determined after the receipt of the payment at VPMO.
The number of accumulation units of a subaccount purchased with a specific
payment will be determined by dividing the payment by the value of an
accumulation unit in that subaccount next determined after receipt of the
payment. The value of the accumulation units of a subaccount will vary depending
upon the investment performance of the applicable Series of the Funds, the
expenses charged against the Fund and the charges and deductions made against
the subaccount.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
On any date before the maturity date of the contract, the total value of the
accumulation units in a subaccount can be computed by multiplying the number of
such units by the value of an accumulation unit on that date. The value of an
accumulation unit on a day other than a valuation date is the value of the
accumulation unit on the next valuation date. The number of accumulation units
credited to you in each subaccount and their current value will be reported to
you at least annually.
TRANSFERS
You may at anytime prior to the maturity date of your contract, elect to
transfer all or any part of the contract value among one or more subaccounts and
the GIA. A transfer from a subaccount will result in the redemption of
accumulation units and, if another subaccount is selected, in the purchase of
accumulation units. The exchange will be based on the values of the accumulation
units next determined after the receipt by VPMO of written notice of election in
a form satisfactory to us. A transfer among subaccounts and GIA does not
automatically change the payment allocation schedule of your contract.
You may request transfers and changes in payment allocations among available
subaccounts and GIA by writing to Phoenix Variable Products Mail Operations, PO
Box 8027, Boston, MA 02266-8027.
Unless we otherwise agree or unless the Dollar Cost Averaging Program has
been elected, you may make only one transfer per contract year from the GIA.
Nonsystematic transfers from the GIA will be made on the date of receipt
23
<PAGE>
by VPMO except as you may otherwise request. For nonsystematic transfers, the
amount that may be transferred from the GIA at any one time cannot exceed the
greater of $1,000 or 25% of the contract value in the GIA at the time of
transfer.
Because excessive trading can hurt Fund performance and therefore be
detrimental to all contract owners, we reserve the right to temporarily or
permanently terminate exchange privileges or reject any specific order from
anyone whose transactions seem to follow a timing pattern, including those who
request more than one exchange out of a subaccount within any 30-day period. We
will not accept batch transfer instructions from registered representatives
(acting under powers of attorney for multiple contract owners), unless we have
entered into a third-party transfer service agreement with the registered
representative's broker-dealer firm.
No surrender charge will be assessed when a transfer is made. The date a
payment was originally credited for the purpose of calculating the surrender
charge will remain the same. Currently, there is no charge for transfers;
however, we reserve the right to charge a transfer fee of $10 per transfer after
the first two transfers in each contract year to defray administrative costs.
Currently, unlimited transfers are permitted; however, we reserve the right to
change our policy to limit the number of transfers made during each contract
year. However, you will be permitted at least six transfers during each contract
year. If the Temporary Money Market Allocation Amendment is in effect, no
transfers may be made until the end of the free look period. See "Free Look
Period." There are additional restrictions on transfers from the GIA as
described above and in Appendix B.
We reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts you may elect to a
total of 18 over the life of the contract unless changes in federal and/or state
regulation, including tax, securities and insurance law require us to impose a
lower limit.
Currently, contracts in the annuity period are not able to make transfers
between subaccounts.
OPTIONAL PROGRAMS AND BENEFITS
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
You also may elect to transfer funds automatically among the subaccounts or
GIA on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program. Generally, the minimum initial and subsequent transfer
amounts are $25 monthly, $75 quarterly, $150 semiannually or $300 annually. You
must have an initial value of $2,000 in the GIA or in the subaccount from which
funds will be transferred (sending subaccount), and if the value in that
subaccount or the GIA drops below the amount to be transferred, the entire
remaining balance will be transferred and no more systematic transfers will be
processed. Also, payments of $1,000,000 or more require our approval before we
will accept them for processing. Funds may be transferred from only one sending
subaccount or from the GIA but may be allocated to multiple receiving
subaccounts. Under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may transfer
approximately equal amounts from the GIA over a period of 6 months or longer.
Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program are not subject to the general
restrictions on transfers from the GIA.
Upon completion of the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you must notify VAO at
800/541-0171 or in writing to VAO to start another Dollar Cost Averaging
Program.
All transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program will be executed on
the basis of values as of the first of the month rather than on the basis of
values next determined after receipt of the transfer request. If the first of
the month falls on a holiday or weekend, then the transfer will be processed on
the next succeeding business day.
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program is not available to individuals who invest
via a bank draft program or while the Asset Rebalancing Program is in
effect. There is no cost to participate in this program.
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program does not ensure a profit nor guarantee
against a loss in a declining market.
ASSET REBALANCING PROGRAM
Under the Asset Rebalancing Program, we transfer funds among the subaccounts
to maintain the percentage allocation you have selected among these subaccounts.
At your election, we will make these transfers on a monthly, quarterly,
semiannual or annual basis.
Asset Rebalancing does not permit transfers to or from the GIA. There is no
cost to participate in this program.
The Asset Rebalancing Program does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against
a loss in a declining market.
ENHANCED OPTION 1 RIDER
Enhanced Option 1 Rider is an optional benefit that if elected, provides the
following additional benefits:
1. CUMULATIVE FREE WITHDRAWALS: After the first contract year, the free
withdrawal amount equals 10% of the last contract anniversary value plus
any unused percentage from prior years may be carried forward to the then
current contract year to a maximum of 30% of your contract value as of
the last contract anniversary.
2. 7-YEAR STEP-UP IN THE DEATH BENEFIT: PRIOR TO THE ANNUITANT'S 80TH
BIRTHDAY, THE DEATH BENEFIT EQUALS THE GREATEST OF:
a. the sum of 100% of premium payments less adjusted partial
withdrawals on the claim date; or
b. the contract value on the claim date; or
c. the 7-Year Step-up amount on the claim date.
24
<PAGE>
3. MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT PAST THE ANNUITANT'S 80TH BIRTHDAY. THE DEATH
BENEFIT IS EQUAL TO THE GREATER OF:
a. the death benefit in effect at the end of the last 7-year period
prior to the annuitant turning age 80, plus the sum of 100% of
premium payments less adjusted partial withdrawals made since the
contract year that the annuitant reached Age 80; or
b. the contract value on the claim date.
There is a charge of .05% on an annual basis for the Enhanced Option 1
Rider. This charge is assessed against the initial payment at issue and then
taken against the contract value at the beginning of each contract year on the
contract anniversary.
NURSING HOME WAIVER
After the first contract year, the Nursing Home Waiver provides for the
waiver of surrender charges provided the annuitant is confined to a licensed
nursing home facility for at least 120 days. The withdrawal request must be
within 2 years of the annuitant's admission to the licensed nursing home
facility.
There is no charge for this additional benefit.
SURRENDER OF CONTRACT; PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
If the annuitant is living, amounts held under the contract may be withdrawn
in whole or in part prior to the maturity date, or after the maturity date under
Annuity Options K or L. Prior to the maturity date, you may withdraw up to 10%
of the contract value in a contract year, either in a lump sum or by multiple
scheduled or unscheduled partial withdrawals, without the imposition of a
surrender charge. During the first contract year, the 10% withdrawal without a
surrender charge will be determined based on the contract value at the time of
the first partial withdrawal. In all subsequent years, the 10% will be based on
the previous contract anniversary value. A signed written request for withdrawal
must be sent to VPMO. If you have not yet reached age 59 1/2, a 10% penalty tax
may apply on taxable income withdrawn. See "Federal Income Taxes." The
appropriate number of accumulation units of a subaccount will be redeemed at
their value next determined after the receipt by VPMO of a written notice in a
form satisfactory to us. accumulation units redeemed in a partial withdrawal
from multiple subaccounts will be redeemed on a pro rata basis unless you
designate otherwise. contract values in the GIA will also be withdrawn on a pro
rata basis unless you designate otherwise. The resulting cash payment will be
made in a single sum, ordinarily within seven days after receipt of such notice.
However, redemption and payment may be delayed under certain circumstances. See
"Miscellaneous Provisions--Deferment of Payment." There may be adverse tax
consequences to certain surrenders and partial withdrawals. See "Surrenders or
Withdrawals Prior to the contract maturity date." Certain restrictions on
redemptions are imposed on contracts used in connection with Internal Revenue
Code Section 403(b) plans. Although loans are available under 403(b) plans only,
certain limitations may apply. See "Qualified Plans"; "Tax Sheltered Annuities."
A deduction for surrender charges may be imposed on partial withdrawals from,
and complete surrender of, a contract. See "Surrender Charges." Any surrender
charge is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis.
Any request for a withdrawal from, or complete surrender of, a contract
should be mailed to Phoenix Variable Products Mail Operations, PO Box 8027,
Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8027.
LAPSE OF CONTRACT
The contract will terminate and lapse without value, if on any valuation
date:
[diamond] The contract value is zero; or
[diamond] The annual Administrative Charge or premium tax reimbursement due on
either a full or partial surrender is greater than or equal to the
contract value (unless any contract value has been applied under one
of the variable payment options)
Phoenix will notify you in writing that the contract has lapsed.
PAYMENT UPON DEATH BEFORE MATURITY DATE
WHO RECEIVES PAYMENT
[diamond] DEATH OF AN OWNER/ANNUITANT
If the owner/annuitant dies before the contract maturity date, the
death benefit will be paid under the contract to the annuitant's
beneficiary.
[diamond] DEATH OF AN ANNUITANT WHO IS NOT THE OWNER
If the owner and the annuitant are not the same and the annuitant dies
prior to the maturity date, the contingent annuitant becomes the
annuitant. If there is no contingent annuitant, the death benefit will
be paid to the annuitant's beneficiary.
[diamond] SPOUSAL BENEFICIARY CONTRACT CONTINUANCE
If the spousal beneficiary continues the contract at the death of the
an owner/annuitant or owner who is not also the annuitant, the spousal
beneficiary becomes the annuitant. The benefit option in effect at the
death of an owner/annuitant or an owner will also apply to the spousal
beneficiary.
[diamond] CONTINGENT ANNUITANT CONTRACT CONTINUANCE
Upon the death of the annuitant who is not the owner provided a
contingent annuitant was named prior to the death of the annuitant the
contract will continue with the contingent annuitant becoming the
annuitant. The benefit option in effect at the death of the annuitant
will also apply to the contingent annuitant.
25
<PAGE>
[diamond] QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Under Qualified contracts, the death benefit is paid at the death of
the participant who is the annuitant under the contract.
Death benefit payments must satisfy distribution rules (See
"Qualified Plans" for a detailed discussion.)
[diamond] OWNERSHIP OF THE CONTRACT BY A NON-NATURAL PERSON
If the owner is not an individual, the death of the annuitant is
treated as the death of the owner.
PAYMENT AMOUNT BEFORE AGE 80
Upon the Death of the Annuitant or Owner/Annuitant who has not yet Reached
Age 80.
[diamond] OPTION 1--RETURN OF PREMIUM
The greater of:
a) 100% of payments, less Adjusted Partial Withdrawals; and
b) the Contract Value on the Claim Date.
[diamond] OPTION 2--ANNUAL STEP-UP
The greater of:
a) 100% of payments, less Adjusted Partial Withdrawals; or
b) the Contract Value on the Claim Date; and
c) the Annual Step-up Amount on the Claim Date.
PAYMENT AMOUNT AFTER AGE 80
After the Annuitant's 80th birthday, the death benefit (less any deferred
premium tax) equals:
[diamond] OPTION 1--RETURN OF PREMIUM
The greater of:
1. the sum of 100% of premium payments less Adjusted Partial
Withdrawals on the Claim Date; or
2. the Contract Value on the Claim Date.
[diamond] ENHANCED OPTION 1 RIDER
After the Annuitant's 80th birthday, if the Enhanced Option 1 Rider
has been elected, the death benefit (less any deferred premium tax)
equals:
The greater of:
1. the death benefit in effect at the end of the last 7-year period
prior to the Annuitant turning age 80, plus the sum of 100% of
premium payments less Adjusted Partial Withdrawals made since the
Contract Year that the Annuitant reached Age 80; or
2. the Contract Value on the Claim Date.
This rider is be available at an annual cost of .05%.
This charge is assessed against the initial payment at issue and
subsequently is taken against the Contract Value at the beginning of each
Contract Year on the Contract anniversary.
[diamond] OPTION 2--ANNUAL STEP-UP
The greater of:
1. the death benefit in effect prior to the Annuitant turning age 80,
plus the sum of 100% of premium payments less Adjusted Partial
Withdrawals made since the Contract Year that the Annuitant reached
Age 80; or
2. the Contract Value on the Claim Date.
[diamond] DEATH OF AN OWNER WHO IS NOT THE ANNUITANT
Upon the death of an Owner who is not the Annuitant, provided that
there is no surviving joint Owner, the death proceeds will be paid to
the Owner's beneficiary. The amount of death benefit payable is equal
to the greater of:
o 100% of payments, less withdrawals; and
o the Contract Value on the Claim Date.
BECAUSE THE DEATH BENEFIT IN THIS SITUATION EQUALS THE GREATER OF
PREMIUMS PAID AND THE CONTRACT VALUE, AN OWNER WHO IS NOT THE
ANNUITANT SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WHETHER BENEFIT OPTION 2 IS
SUITABLE FOR THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.
Depending upon state law, the payment to the beneficiary may avoid probate
and the death benefit may be reduced by any premium tax due. See "Premium Tax."
See also "Distribution at Death" under "Federal Income Taxes."
We reserve the right to discontinue offering any one of the available death
benefit options in the future.
THE ANNUITY PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The annuity period is that period of time beginning after the end of the
accumulation period and during which payments to you are made.
VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Annuity payments will begin on the contract's maturity date if the annuitant
is alive and the contract is still in force. Beginning on the maturity date,
investment in the Account is continued unless a Fixed Payment Annuity is
elected. No surrender charge is taken. Each contract will provide, at the time
of its issuance, for a Variable Payment Life Expectancy Annuity (Option L)
unless a different annuity option is elected by you. See "Annuity Options."
Under a Variable Payment Life Expectancy Annuity, annuity payments are made on a
monthly basis over the annuitant's annually recalculated life expectancy or the
annually recalculated life expectancy of the annuitant and joint annuitant. A
contract owner may at anytime request unscheduled withdrawals representing part
or all of the remaining contract value. Upon the death of the annuitant (and
joint annuitant, if
26
<PAGE>
there is a joint annuitant), the remaining contract value will be paid in a lump
sum to the annuitant's beneficiary.
If the amount to be applied on the maturity date is less than $2,000, we may
pay such amount in one lump sum in lieu of providing an annuity. If the initial
monthly annuity payment under an Annuity Option would be less than $20, we may
make a single sum payment equal to the total contract value on the date the
initial payment would be payable, or make periodic payments quarterly,
semiannually or annually in place of monthly payments.
Each contract specifies a provisional maturity date at the time of its
issuance. You may subsequently elect a different maturity date. The maturity
date may not be earlier than the fifth contract anniversary or later than the
contract anniversary nearest the annuitant's 90th birthday unless the contract
is issued in connection with certain qualified plans. Generally, under qualified
plans, the maturity date must be such that distributions begin no later than
April 1st of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year in which the
employee attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the employee
retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to an IRA.
The maturity date election must be made by written notice and must be
received by VPMO 30 days before the provisional maturity date. If a maturity
date, which is different from the provisional maturity date, is not elected by
you, the provisional maturity date becomes the maturity date. Particular care
should be taken in electing the maturity date of a contract issued under a Tax
Sheltered Annuity (TSA), a Keogh Plan or an IRA plan. See "Tax Sheltered
Annuities," "Keogh Plans" and "Individual Retirement Accounts."
ANNUITY OPTIONS
Unless an alternative annuity payment option is elected on or before the
maturity date, the amounts held under a contract on the maturity date will be
applied to provide a Variable Payment Life Expectancy Annuity (Option L) as
described below. Upon the death of the annuitant and joint annuitant if any, the
remaining contract value will be paid in a lump sum to the annuitant's
beneficiary.
With the exception of the Fixed Payment Options and Option L--Variable
Payment Life Expectancy Annuity, each annuity payment will be based upon the
value of the annuity units credited to the contract. The number of annuity units
in each subaccount to be credited is based on the value of the accumulation
units in that subaccount and the applicable annuity payment rate. The contract
is issued with guaranteed minimum annuity payment rates, however, if the current
rate is higher, we'll apply the higher rate. The payment rate differs according
to the payment option selected and the age of the annuitant. The annuity payment
rate is applied and will determine all payments for the fixed annuity payment
options and the first payment for the variable annuity payment options. The
value of the annuity units will vary with the investment performance of each
subaccount to which annuity units are credited. The initial payment will be
calculated based on an assumed investment return of 4 1/2% per year. This rate
is a fulcrum return around which variable annuity payments will vary to reflect
whether actual investment experience of the subaccount is better or worse than
the assumed investment return. The assumed investment return and the calculation
of variable income payments for 10-year period certain variable payment life
annuity and for Options J and K described below are described in more detail in
the contract and in the SAI.
Instead of the Variable Payment Life Expectancy Annuity, (see "Option L"
below), you may, by written request received by VPMO on or before the maturity
date of the contract, elect any of the other annuity payment options described
below. No surrender charge will be assessed under any annuity option, unless
unscheduled withdrawals are made under Annuity Options K or L.
The level of annuity payments payable under the following options is based
upon the option selected. In addition, such factors as the age at which payments
begin, the form of annuity, annuity payment rates, assumed investment rate (for
variable payment annuities) and the frequency of payments will effect the level
of annuity payments. The assumed investment rate is 4.5% per year. We use this
rate to determine the first payment under Variable Payment Annuity Options I, J,
K, M and N.
We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily
administrative fee from contract values held in the subaccounts. See "Charges
For Mortality and Expense Risks" and "Charges for Administrative Services."
Therefore, electing Option K will result in a deduction being made even though
we assume no mortality risk under that option.
The following are descriptions of the annuity options available under a
contract. These descriptions should allow you to understand the basic
differences between the options, however, you should contact VPMO well in
advance of the date you wish to elect an option to obtain estimates of payments
under each option.
OPTION A--LIFE ANNUITY WITH SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a monthly income for the life of the annuitant. In the event of
death of the annuitant, the annuity income will be paid to the beneficiary until
the end of the specified period certain. For example, a 10-year period certain
will provide a total of 120 monthly payments. The certain period may be 5, 10 or
20 years.
OPTION B--NON-REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of the annuitant. No income is
payable after the death of the annuitant.
27
<PAGE>
OPTION C--DISCONTINUED
OPTION D--JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the lifetimes of both the annuitant and a
joint annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the
annuitant or joint annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of
the survivor. The amount to be paid to the survivor is 100% of the amount of the
joint annuity payment, as elected at the time the annuity option is chosen. No
income is payable after the death of the surviving annuitant.
Under Option D, the joint annuitant must be named at the time the option is
elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted
age of 40, as defined in the contract.
OPTION E--INSTALLMENT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a monthly income for the life of the annuitant. In the event of the
annuitant's death, the annuity income will continue to the annuitant's
beneficiary until the amount applied to purchase the annuity has been
distributed.
OPTION F--JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR
PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of both the annuitant and a joint
annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the
annuitant or joint annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of
the survivor. If the survivor dies prior to the end of the 10-year period, the
annuity income will continue to the named beneficiary until the end of the
10-year period certain.
Under Option F, the joint annuitant must be named at the time the option is
elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted
age of 40, as defined in the contract.
OPTION G--PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD
Provides equal income installments for a specified period of years whether
the annuitant lives or dies. Any specified whole number of years from 5 to 30
years may be elected.
OPTION H--PAYMENTS OF SPECIFIED AMOUNT
Provides equal installments of a specified amount over a period of at least
five years. The specified amount may not be greater than the total annuity
amount divided by five annual installment payments. If the annuitant dies prior
to the end of the elected period certain, annuity payments will continue to the
annuitant's beneficiary until the end of the elected period certain.
OPTION I--VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR
PERIOD CERTAIN
Unless another annuity option has been elected, this option will
automatically apply to any contract proceeds payable on the maturity date. It
provides a variable payout monthly annuity based on the life of the annuitant.
In the event of the death of the annuitant, the annuity payments are made to the
annuitant's beneficiary until the end of the 10-year period. The 10-year period
provides a total of 120 monthly payments. Payments will vary as to dollar
amount, based on the investment experience of the subaccounts in which proceeds
are invested.
OPTION J--JOINT SURVIVOR VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY WITH
10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
Provides a variable payout monthly annuity while the annuitant and the
designated joint annuitant are living and continues thereafter during the
lifetime of the survivor or, if later, until the end of a 10-year period
certain. Payments will vary as to dollar amount, based on the investment
experience of the subaccounts in which proceeds are invested. The joint
annuitant must be named at the time the option is elected and cannot be changed.
The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted age of 40, as defined in the
contract. This option is not available for payment of any death benefit under
the contract.
OPTION K--VARIABLE PAYMENT ANNUITY FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD
Provides variable payout monthly income installments for a specified period
of time, whether the annuitant lives or dies. The period certain specified must
be in whole numbers of years from 5 to 30. However, the period certain selected
by the beneficiary of any death benefit under the contract may not extend beyond
the life expectancy of such beneficiary. A contract owner may at anytime request
unscheduled withdrawals representing part or all of the remaining contract value
less any applicable contingent deferred surrender charge.
OPTION L--VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE EXPECTANCY ANNUITY
Provides a variable payout monthly income payable over the annuitant's
annually recalculated life expectancy or the annually recalculated life
expectancy of the annuitant and joint annuitant. A contract owner may at anytime
request unscheduled withdrawals representing part or all of the remaining
contract value less any applicable contingent deferred surrender charge. Upon
the death of the annuitant (and joint annuitant, if there is a joint annuitant),
the remaining contract value will be paid in a lump sum to the annuitant's
beneficiary.
OPTION M--UNIT REFUND VARIABLE PAYMENT LIFE ANNUITY
Provides variable monthly payments as long as the annuitant lives. If the
annuitant dies, the annuitant's beneficiary will receive the value of the
remaining annuity units in a lump sum.
OPTION N--VARIABLE PAYMENT NON-REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
Provides a variable monthly income for the life of the annuitant. No income
or payment to a beneficiary is paid after the death of the annuitant.
OTHER OPTIONS AND RATES
We may offer other annuity options at the time a contract reaches its
maturity date. In addition, in the event that annuity payment rates for
contracts are at that time more favorable than the applicable rates guaranteed
under the contract, the then current settlement rates shall be used in
determining the amount of any annuity payment under the Annuity Options above.
28
<PAGE>
OTHER CONDITIONS
Federal income tax requirements currently applicable to most qualified plans
provide that the period of years guaranteed under joint and survivorship
annuities with specified periods certain (see "Option F" and "Option J" above)
cannot be any greater than the joint life expectancies of the payee and his or
her spouse.
Federal income tax requirements also provide that participants in regular or
SIMPLE IRAs must begin minimum distributions by April 1 of the year following
the year in which they attain age 70 1/2. Minimum distribution requirements do
not apply to Roth IRAs. Distributions from qualified plans generally must begin
by the later of actual retirement or April 1 of the year following the year
participants attain age 70 1/2. Any required minimum distributions must be such
that the full amount in the contract will be distributed over a period not
greater than the participant's life expectancy, or the combined life expectancy
of the participant and his or her spouse or designated beneficiary.
Distributions made under this method are generally referred to as Life
Expectancy Distributions ("LEDs"). An LED program is available to participants
in qualified plans or IRAs. Requests to elect this program must be made in
writing.
Under the LED program, regardless of contract year, amounts up to the
required minimum distribution may be withdrawn without a deduction for surrender
charges, even if the minimum distribution exceeds the 10% allowable amount. See
"Surrender Charges." Any amounts withdrawn that have not been held under a
contract for at least six years and are in excess of both the minimum
distribution and the 10% free available amount will be subject to any applicable
surrender charge.
If the initial monthly annuity payment under an Annuity Option would be less
than $20, we may make a single sum payment equal to the contract value on the
date the initial payment would be payable, in place of all other benefits
provided by the contract, or, may make periodic payments quarterly, semiannually
or annually in place of monthly payments.
Currently, transfers between subaccounts are not available for amounts
allocated to any of the variable payment annuity options.
PAYMENT UPON DEATH AFTER MATURITY DATE
If an owner who also is the annuitant dies on or after the maturity date,
except as may otherwise be provided under any supplementary contract between the
owner and us, we will pay to the owner/annuitant's beneficiary any annuity
payments due during any applicable period certain under the Annuity Option in
effect on the annuitant's death. If the annuitant who is not the owner dies on
or after the maturity date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the
annuitant's beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of
the annuitant's death. If an owner who is not the annuitant dies on or after the
maturity date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the owner's
beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of the owner's
death.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT VALUATION PROCEDURES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUATION DATE
A valuation date is every day the NYSE is open for trading. On each
valuation date, the value of the Account is determined at the close of the NYSE
(currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
VALUATION PERIOD
Valuation period is that period of time from the beginning of the day
following a valuation date to the end of the next following valuation date.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The value of one accumulation unit was set at $1.0000 on the date assets
were first allocated to a subaccount. The value of one accumulation unit on any
subsequent valuation date is determined by multiplying the immediately preceding
accumulation unit value by the applicable net investment factor for the
valuation period ending on such valuation date. After the first valuation
period, the accumulation unit value reflects the cumulative investment
experience of that subaccount.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor for any valuation period is equal to 1.000000 plus
the applicable net investment rate for such valuation period. A net investment
factor may be more or less than 1.000000 depending on whether the assets gained
or lost value that day. To determine the net investment rate for any valuation
period for the Funds allocated to each subaccount, the following steps are
taken: (a) the aggregate accrued investment income and capital gains and losses,
whether realized or unrealized, of the subaccount for such valuation period is
computed, (b) the amount in (a) is then adjusted by the sum of the charges and
credits for any applicable income taxes and the deductions at the beginning of
the valuation period for mortality and expense risk charges and daily
administration fee, and (c) the results of (a) as adjusted by (b) are divided by
the aggregate unit values in the subaccount at the beginning of the valuation
period.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSIGNMENT
Owners of contracts issued in connection with non-tax qualified plans may
assign their interest in the contract without the consent of the beneficiary. A
written notice of such assignment must be filed with VPMO before it will be
honored.
A pledge or assignment of a contract is treated as payment received on
account of a partial surrender of a
29
<PAGE>
contract. See "Surrenders or Withdrawals Prior to the Contract Maturity Date."
In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment, contracts issued in
connection with tax qualified plans may not be sold, assigned, discounted or
pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an
obligation, or for any other purpose, to any person other than to us.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENT
Payment of the contract value in a single sum upon a withdrawal from, or
complete surrender of, a contract will ordinarily be made within seven days
after receipt of the written request by VPMO. However, we may postpone payment
of the value of any accumulation units at times (a) when the NYSE is closed,
other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (b) when trading on the NYSE
is restricted, (c) when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of
securities in the Fund is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the contract value or (d) when a governmental body
having jurisdiction over us by order permits such suspension. Rules and
regulations of the SEC, if any, are applicable and will govern as to whether
conditions described in (b), (c) or (d) exist.
FREE LOOK PERIOD
We may mail the contract to you or we may deliver it to you in person. You
may surrender a contract for any reason within 10 days after you receive it and
receive in cash the adjusted value of your initial payment. (A longer Free Look
Period may be required by your state.) You may receive more or less than the
initial payment depending on investment experience within the subaccounts during
the Free Look Period. If a portion or all of your initial payment has been
allocated to the GIA, we also will refund any earned interest. If applicable
state law requires, we will return the full amount of any payments we received.
During periods of extreme market volatility, we reserve the right to make
the Temporary Money Market Allocation Amendment available. In states that
require return of premium during the Free Look Period, we will allocate those
portions of your initial payment designated for the subaccounts to the
Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount and those portions designated for the
GIA will be allocated to that Account. At the expiration of the Free Look
Period, the value of the accumulation units held in the Phoenix-Goodwin Money
Market Subaccount will be allocated among the available subaccounts in
accordance with your allocation instructions on the application.
AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACTS
Contracts may be amended to conform to changes in applicable law or
interpretations of applicable law, or to accommodate design changes. Changes in
the contract may need to be approved by contract owners and state insurance
departments. A change in the contract which necessitates a corresponding change
in the Prospectus or the SAI must be filed with the SEC.
SUBSTITUTION OF FUND SHARES
Although we believe it to be highly unlikely, it is possible that in the
judgment of our management, one or more of the Series of the Funds may become
unsuitable for investment by contract owners because of a change in investment
policy, or a change in the tax laws, or because the shares are no longer
available for investment. In that event, we may seek to substitute the shares of
another Series or the shares of an entirely different fund. Before this can be
done, the approval of the SEC, and possibly one or more state insurance
departments, will be required.
OWNERSHIP OF THE CONTRACT
Ordinarily, the purchaser of a contract is both the owner and the annuitant
and is entitled to exercise all the rights under the contract. However, the
owner may be an individual or entity other than the annuitant. Transfer of the
ownership of a contract may involve federal income tax consequences, and a
qualified adviser should be consulted before any such transfer is attempted.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
The contracts are designed for use with retirement plans which may or may
not be tax-qualified plans ("Qualified Plans") under the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"). The ultimate effect of federal
income taxes on the amounts held under a contract, on annuity payments and on
the economic benefits of the contract owner, annuitant or beneficiary depends on
our tax status, on the type of retirement plan for which the contract is
purchased, and upon the income tax and employment status of the individual
concerned.
The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax
advice. The income tax rules are complicated and this discussion can only make
you aware of the issues. Each person concerned should consult a professional tax
advisor. No attempt is made to consider any estate or inheritance taxes or any
applicable state, local or other tax laws. Moreover, the discussion is based
upon our understanding of the federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation
of the federal income tax laws or the current interpretations by the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS"). We do not guarantee the tax status of the
contracts. Purchasers bear the complete risk that the contracts may not be
treated as "annuity contracts" under federal income tax laws. For a discussion
of federal income taxes as they relate to the Funds, please see the accompanying
prospectuses for the Funds.
30
<PAGE>
INCOME TAX STATUS
We are taxed as a life insurance company under Part 1 of Subchapter L of the
Code. Since the Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix and its operations
form a part of Phoenix, it will not be taxed separately as a "regulated
investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income and
realized capital gains on the assets of the Account are reinvested and taken
into account in determining the contract value. Under existing federal income
tax law, the Account's investment income, including realized net capital gains,
is not taxed to us. We reserve the right to make a deduction for taxes should
they be imposed on us with respect to such items in the future.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL--NON-QUALIFIED PLANS
Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities. In general, a contract
owner is not taxed on increases in value of the units held under a contract
until some form of distribution is made. However, in certain cases the increase
in value may be subject to tax currently. In the case of contracts not owned by
natural persons, see "Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons." In the case of
contracts not meeting the diversification requirements, see "Diversification
Standards."
SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE CONTRACT
MATURITY DATE
Code Section 72 provides that a total or partial surrender from a contract
prior to the contract maturity date will be treated as taxable income to the
extent the amounts held under the contract exceed the "investment in the
contract." The "investment in the contract" is that portion, if any, of payments
(premiums paid) by or on behalf of an individual under a contract that have not
been excluded from the individual's gross income. However, under certain types
of Qualified Plans there may be no investment in the contract within the meaning
of Code Section 72, so that the total amount of all payments received will be
taxable. The taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income in an amount equal to
the value of the amount received on account of a total or partial surrender of a
contract. For purposes of this rule, a pledge or assignment of a contract is
treated as a payment received on account of a partial surrender of a contract.
SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS ON OR AFTER THE CONTRACT
MATURITY DATE
Upon receipt of a lump sum payment under the contract, the recipient is
taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the investment in the contract.
Ordinarily, such taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income. Under certain
circumstances, the proceeds of a surrender of a contract may qualify for "lump
sum distribution" treatment under Qualified Plans. See your tax adviser if you
think you may qualify for "lump sum distribution" treatment. The 5-year
averaging rule for lump sum distribution has been repealed for tax years
beginning after 1999.
For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is
determined by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio," which establishes
the ratio that the investment in the contract bears to the total expected amount
of annuity payments for the term of the contract. That ratio is then applied to
each payment to determine the non-taxable portion of the payment. The remaining
portion of each payment is taxed as ordinary income. For variable annuity
payments, the taxable portion is determined by a formula that establishes a
specific dollar amount of each payment that is not taxed. The dollar amount is
determined by dividing the investment in the contract by the total number of
expected periodic payments. The remaining portion of each payment is taxed as
ordinary income. Once the excludable portion of annuity payments equals the
investment in the contract, the balance of the annuity payments will be fully
taxable. For certain types of qualified plans, there may be no investment in the
contract resulting in the full amount of the payments being taxable. A
simplified method of determining the exclusion ratio is effective with respect
to qualified plan annuities starting after November 18, 1996.
Withholding of federal income taxes on all distributions may be required
unless the recipient elects not to have any amounts withheld and properly
notifies VPMO of that election.
PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS
Amounts surrendered or distributed before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2
are subject to a penalty tax equal to ten percent (10%) of the portion of such
amount that is includable in gross income. However, the penalty tax will not
apply to withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the contract owner (or
where the contract owner is not an individual, the death of the "primary
annuitant," who is defined as the individual the events in whose life are of
primary importance in affecting the timing and amount of the payout under the
contract); (ii) attributable to the taxpayer's becoming totally disabled within
the meaning of Code Section 72(m)(7); (iii) which are part of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments made (not less frequently than annually)
for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer, or the joint lives (or joint
life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary; (iv) from certain
qualified plans (such distributions may, however, be subject to a similar
penalty under Code Section 72(t) relating to distributions from qualified
retirement plans and to a special penalty of 25% applicable specifically to
SIMPLE IRAs or other special penalties applicable to Roth IRAs); (v) allocable
to investment in the contract before August 14, 1982; (vi) under a qualified
funding asset (as defined in Code Section 130(d)); (vii) under an immediate
annuity contract (as defined in Code Section 72(u)(4)); or (viii) that are
purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of qualified plans and
which are held by the employer until the employee separates from service.
31
<PAGE>
If the penalty tax does not apply to a withdrawal as a result of the
application of item (iii) above, and the series of payments are subsequently
modified (other than by reason of death or disability), the tax for the first
year when the modification occurs will be increased by an amount (determined by
the Treasury regulations) equal to the tax that would have been imposed but for
item (iii) above, plus interest for the deferral period, but only if the
modification takes place: (a) within 5 years from the date of the first payment,
or (b) before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2.
Separate tax withdrawal penalties apply to Qualified Plans. See "Penalty Tax
on Surrenders and Withdrawals from Qualified Contracts."
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax
purposes, a contract must provide the following two distribution rules: (a) if
the contract owner dies on or after the contract maturity date, and before the
entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remainder of the
contract owner's interest will be distributed at least as quickly as the method
in effect on the contract owner's death; and (b) if a contract owner dies before
the contract maturity date, the contract owner's entire interest generally must
be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or if payable to a
designated beneficiary, may be annuitized over the life or life expectancy of
that beneficiary and payments must begin within one (1) year after the contract
owner's date of death. If the beneficiary is the spouse of the contract owner,
the contract (together with the deferral of tax on the accrued and future income
thereunder) may be continued in the name of the spouse as contract owner.
Similar distribution requirements apply to annuity contracts under Qualified
Plans. However, a number of restrictions, limitations and special rules apply to
qualified plans and contract owners should consult with their tax adviser.
If the annuitant, who is not the contract owner, dies before the maturity
date and there is no Contingent annuitant, the annuitant's beneficiary must
elect within 60 days whether to receive the death benefit in a lump sum or in
periodic payments commencing within one (1) year.
If the contract owner is not an individual, the death of the primary
annuitant is treated as the death of the contract owner. In addition, when the
contract owner is not an individual, a change in the primary annuitant is
treated as the death of the contract owner. Finally, in the case of non-spousal
joint contract owners, distribution will be required at the death of the first
of the contract owners.
If the contract owner or a Joint contract owner dies on or after the
maturity date, the remaining payments, if any, under the Annuity Option selected
will be made at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect
at the time of death.
TRANSFER OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Transfers of non-qualified contracts prior to the maturity date for less
than full and adequate consideration to the contract owner at the time of such
transfer, will trigger tax on the gain in the contract, with the transferee
getting a step-up in basis for the amount included in the contract owner's
income. This provision does not apply to transfers between spouses or incident
to a divorce.
CONTRACTS OWNED BY NON-NATURAL PERSONS
If the contract is held by a non-natural person (for example, a corporation)
the income on that contract (generally the increase in the net surrender value
less the premium paid) is includable in income each year. The rule does not
apply where the non-natural person is the nominal owner of a contract and the
beneficial owner is a natural person. The rule also does not apply where the
annuity contract is acquired by the estate of a decedent, where the contract is
held under a qualified plan, a TSA program or an IRA, where the contract is a
qualified funding asset for structured settlements, or where the contract is
purchased on behalf of an employee upon termination of a qualified plan, and nor
if the annuity contract is an immediate annuity.
SECTION 1035 EXCHANGES
Code Section 1035 provides, in general, that no gain or loss shall be
recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another. A replacement
contract obtained in a tax-free exchange of contracts generally succeeds to the
status of the surrendered contract. If the surrendered contract was issued prior
to August 14, 1982, the tax rules that formerly provided that the surrender was
taxable only to the extent the amount received exceeds the contract owner's
investment in the contract, will continue to apply. In contrast, contracts
issued on or after January 19, 1985 are, in a Code Section 1035 exchange,
treated as new contracts for purposes of the distribution-at-death rules.
Special rules and procedures apply to Code Section 1035 transactions.
Prospective contract owners wishing to take advantage of Code Section 1035
should consult their tax advisers.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
Code Section 72(e)(11)(A)(ii) provides that for contracts entered into after
October 21, 1988, for purposes of determining the amount of any distribution
under Code Section 72(e) (amounts not received as annuities) that is includable
in gross income, all non-qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same
insurer (or affiliate) to the same contract owner during any calendar year are
to be aggregated and treated as one contract. Thus, any amount received under
any such contract prior to the contract maturity date, such as a withdrawal,
dividend or loan, will be taxable (and possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax)
to the extent of the combined income in all such contracts.
The Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations that
prevent the avoidance of Code Section 72(e) through the serial purchase of
annuity contracts or otherwise. In addition, there may be situations where the
32
<PAGE>
Treasury may conclude that it would be appropriate to aggregate two or more
contracts purchased by the same contract owner. Accordingly, a contract owner
should consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing more than one contract
or other annuity contracts.
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
DIVERSIFICATION REGULATIONS
To comply with the diversification regulations under Code Section 817(h)
("Diversification Regulations"), after a start-up period, each Series of the
Funds will be required to diversify its investments. The Diversification
Regulations generally require that, on the last day of each calendar quarter
that the Series' assets be invested in no more than:
[diamond] 55% in any 1 investment
[diamond] 70% in any 2 investments
[diamond] 80% in any 3 investments
[diamond] 90% in any 4 investments
A "look-through" rule applies to treat a pro rata portion of each asset of a
Series as an asset of the Account, and each Series of the Funds are tested for
compliance with the percentage limitations. All securities of the same issuer
are treated as a single investment. As a result of the 1988 Act, each government
agency or instrumentality will be treated as a separate issuer for purposes of
these limitations.
The Treasury Department has indicated that the Diversification Regulations
do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which contract owner
control of the investments of the Account will cause the contract owner to be
treated as the owner of the assets of the Account, thereby resulting in the loss
of favorable tax treatment for the contract. At this time, it cannot be
determined whether additional guidance will be provided and what standards may
be contained in such guidance. The amount of contract owner control which may be
exercised under the contract is different in some respects from the situations
addressed in published rulings issued by the IRS in which was held that the
policyowner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account. It is
unknown whether these differences, such as the contract owner's ability to
transfer among investment choices or the number and type of investment choices
available, would cause the contract owner to be considered as the owner of the
assets of the Account resulting in the imposition of federal income tax to the
contract owner with respect to earnings allocable to the contract prior to
receipt of payments under the contract.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set forth a
new position, such guidance or ruling generally will be applied only
prospectively. However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set
forth a new position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the contract
owner being retroactively determined to be the owner of the assets of the
Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, we reserve the right to modify the
contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
We represent that we intend to comply with the Diversification Regulations
to assure that the contracts continue to be treated as annuity contracts for
federal income tax purposes.
DIVERSIFICATION REGULATIONS AND QUALIFIED PLANS
Code Section 817(h) applies to a variable annuity contract other than a
pension plan contract. The Diversification Regulations reiterate that the
diversification requirements do not apply to a pension plan contract. All of the
Qualified Plans (described below) are defined as pension plan contracts for
these purposes. Notwithstanding the exception of Qualified Plan contracts from
application of the diversification rules, all investments of the Phoenix
Qualified Plan contracts (i.e., the Funds) will be structured to comply with the
diversification standards because the Funds serve as the investment vehicle for
non-qualified contracts as well as Qualified Plan contracts.
QUALIFIED PLANS
The contracts may be used with several types of Qualified Plans. TSAs,
Keoghs, IRAs, Corporate Pension and Profit-sharing Plans will be treated, for
purposes of this discussion, as Qualified Plans. The tax rules applicable to
participants in such Qualified Plans vary according to the type of plan and the
terms and conditions of the plan itself. No attempt is made here to provide more
than general information about the use of the contracts with the various types
of Qualified Plans. Participants under such Qualified Plans as well as contract
owners, annuitants and beneficiaries, are cautioned that the rights of any
person to any benefits under such Qualified Plans may be subject to the terms
and conditions of the plans themselves or limited by applicable law, regardless
of the terms and conditions of the contract issued in connection therewith. For
example, Phoenix will accept beneficiary designations and payment instructions
under the terms of the contract without regard to any spousal consents that may
be required under the Retirement Equity Act (REA). Consequently, a contract
owner's beneficiary designation or elected payment option may not be
enforceable.
Effective January 1, 1993, Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code was
amended to change the roll-over rules applicable to the taxable portions of
distributions from qualified pension and profit-sharing plans and Section 403(b)
TSA arrangements. Taxable distributions eligible to be rolled over generally
will be subject to 20 percent income tax withholding. Mandatory withholding can
be avoided only if the employee arranges for a direct rollover to another
qualified pension or profit-sharing plan or to an IRA.
The new mandatory withholding rules apply to all taxable distributions from
qualified plans or TSAs (not including IRAs), except (a) distributions required
under the Code, (b) substantially equal distributions made over the life
33
<PAGE>
(or life expectancy) of the employee, or for a term certain of 10 years or more
and (c) the portion of distributions not includable in gross income (i.e.,
return of after-tax contributions).
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V.
NORRIS that optional annuity benefits provided under an employer's deferred
compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
vary between men and women. The contracts sold by Phoenix in connection with
certain Qualified Plans will utilize annuity tables which do not differentiate
on the basis of sex. Such annuity tables also will be available for use in
connection with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
Numerous changes have been made to the income tax rules governing Qualified
Plans as a result of legislation enacted during the past several years,
including rules with respect to: coverage, participation, maximum contributions,
required distributions, penalty taxes on early or insufficient distributions and
income tax withholding on distributions. The following are general descriptions
of the various types of Qualified Plans and of the use of the contracts in
connection therewith.
TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES ("TSAS")
Code Section 403(b) permits public school systems and certain types of
charitable, educational and scientific organizations, generally specified in
Code Section 501(c)(3) to purchase annuity contracts on behalf of their
employees and, subject to certain limitations, allows employees of those
organizations to exclude the amount of payments from gross income for federal
income tax purposes. These annuity contracts are commonly referred to as TSAs.
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1988, Code Section 403(b)(11)
imposes certain restrictions on a contract owner's ability to make partial
withdrawals from, or surrenders of, Code Section 403(b) contracts, if the cash
withdrawn is attributable to payments made under a salary reduction agreement.
Specifically, Code Section 403(b)(11) allows a contract owner to make a
surrender or partial withdrawal only (a) when the employee attains age 59 1/2,
separates from service, dies or becomes disabled (as defined in the Code), or
(b) in the case of hardship. In the case of hardship, the distribution amount
cannot include any income earned under the contract.
The 1988 Act amended the effective date of Code Section 403(b)(11), so that
it applies only with respect to distributions from Code Section 403(b) contracts
which are attributable to assets other than assets held as of the close of the
last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Thus, the distribution restrictions
do not apply to assets held as of December 31, 1988.
In addition, in order for certain types of contributions under a Code
Section 403(b) contract to be excluded from taxable income, the employer must
comply with certain nondiscrimination requirements. Contract owners should
consult their employers to determine whether the employer has complied with
these rules. Contract owner loans are not allowed under the contracts.
Effective May 4, 1998, loans may be made available under Internal Revenue
Code Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity programs. If the program permits
loans, a loan from the participant's contract value may be requested. The loan
must be at least $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the greater of: (a) 90%
of the first $10,000 of contract value minus any contingent deferred surrender
charge; and (b) 50% of the contract value minus any contingent deferred
surrender charge. The maximum loan amount is $50,000. If loans are outstanding
from any other tax-qualified plan then the maximum loan amount of the contract
may be reduced from the amount stated above in order to comply with the maximum
loan amount requirements under Section 72(p) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Amounts borrowed from the GIA are subject to the same limitations as applies to
transfers from the GIA; thus no more than the greater of $1000 and 25% of the
contract value in the GIA may be borrowed at any one time.
Loan repayments will first pay any accrued loan interest. The balance will
be applied to reduce the outstanding loan balance and will also reduce the
amount of the Loan Security Account by the same amount that the outstanding loan
balance is reduced. The balance of loan repayments, after payment of accrued
loan interest, will be credited to the subaccounts of the Separate Account or
the GIA in accordance with the participant's most recent premium allocation on
file with Us.
If a loan repayment is not received by Us before 90 days after the payment
was due, then the entire loan balance plus accrued interest will be in default.
In the case of default, the outstanding loan balance plus accrued interest will
be deemed a distribution for income tax purposes, and will be reported as such
to the extent required by law. At the time of such deemed distribution-interest
will continue to accrue until such time as an actual distribution occurs under
the contract.
KEOGH PLANS
The Self-Employed Individual Tax Retirement Act of 1962, as amended, permits
self-employed individuals to establish "Keoghs" or qualified plans for
themselves and their employees. The tax consequences to participants under such
a plan depend upon the terms of the plan. In addition, such plans are limited by
law with respect to the maximum permissible contributions, distribution dates,
nonforfeitability of interests, and tax rates applicable to distributions. In
order to establish such a plan, a plan document must be adopted and implemented
by the employer, as well as approved by the IRS.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Code Sections 408 and 408A permit eligible individuals to contribute to an
individual retirement program known as an "IRA." These IRAs are subject to
limitations on the amount which may be contributed, the persons who may be
34
<PAGE>
eligible and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition,
distributions from certain other types of Qualified Plans may be placed on a
tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Effective January 1, 1997, employers may
establish a new type of IRA called SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for
Employees). Special rules apply to participants' contributions to and
withdrawals from SIMPLE IRAs. Also effective January 1, 1997, salary reduction
IRAs (SARSEP) no longer may be established. Effective January 1, 1998,
individuals may establish Roth IRAs. Special rules also apply to contributions
to and withdrawals from Roth IRAs.
CORPORATE PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
Code Section 401(a) permits corporate employers to establish various types
of retirement plans for employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase
of contracts to provide benefits thereunder.
These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to provide
benefits under the Plan. Contributions to the Plan for the benefit of employees
will not be includable in the gross income of the employee until distributed
from the Plan. The tax consequences to participants may vary depending upon the
particular Plan design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on
all Plans, including on such items as: amount of allowable contributions; form,
manner and timing of distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and
nonforfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and
participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and
surrenders. Participant loans are not allowed under the contracts purchased in
connection with these Plans. Purchasers of contracts for use with Corporate
Pension or Profit-sharing Plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax
treatment and suitability of such an investment.
PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS FROM
QUALIFIED PLANS
In the case of a withdrawal under a Qualified Plan, a ratable portion of the
amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual's
cost basis to the individual's total accrued benefit under the retirement plan.
Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from a Qualified
Plan. Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion
of any distribution from qualified retirement plans, including contracts issued
and qualified under Code Sections 401 (Keogh and Corporate Pension and
Profit-sharing Plans), Tax-Sheltered Annuities and Individual Retirement
Annuities other than Roth IRAs. The penalty is increased to 25% instead of 10%
for SIMPLE IRAs if distribution occurs within the first two years of the
contract owner's participation in the SIMPLE IRA. To the extent amounts are not
includable in gross income because they have been properly rolled over to an IRA
or to another eligible Qualified Plan, no tax penalty will be imposed. The tax
penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (a) if distribution is
made on or after the date on which the contract owner or annuitant (as
applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (b) distributions following the death or
disability of the contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose
disability is as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (c) after separation
from service, distributions that are part of substantially equal periodic
payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life
expectancy) of the contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) or the joint
lives (or joint life expectancies) of such contract owner or annuitant (as
applicable) and his or her designated beneficiary; (d) distributions to a
contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) who has separated from service after
he has attained age 55; (e) distributions made to the contract owner or
annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the
amount allowable as a deduction under Code Section 213 to the contract owner or
annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable year for medical
care; (f) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order; (g) distributions from an IRA for the purchase of
medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the
contract owner and his or her spouse and dependents if the contract owner has
received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks; and (h) distributions
from IRAs for first-time home purchase expenses (maximum $10,000) or certain
qualified educational expenses of the contract owner, spouse, children or
grandchildren of the contract owner. This exception will no longer apply after
the contract owner has been reemployed for at least 60 days. The exceptions
stated in items (d) and (f) above do not apply in the case of an IRA. The
exception stated in item (c) applies to an IRA without the requirement that
there be a separation from service.
Generally, distributions from a Qualified Plan must commence no later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year in which the
employee attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the employee
retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to a regular or SIMPLE IRA and
the required distribution rules do not apply to Roth IRAs. Required
distributions must be over a period not exceeding the life expectancy of the
individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the individual and his or
her designated beneficiary. If the required minimum distributions are not made,
a 50% penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed.
SEEK TAX ADVICE
The above description of federal income tax consequences of the different
types of Qualified Plans which may be funded by the contracts offered by this
Prospectus is only a brief summary meant to alert you to the issues and is not
intended as tax advice. The rules governing the provisions of Qualified Plans
are extremely complex and often difficult to comprehend. Anything less than full
compliance with the applicable rules, all of which are subject to change, may
have adverse tax consequences. A prospective contract owner considering adoption
of a Qualified Plan and purchase of a contract in connection therewith should
first consult a qualified tax adviser, with regard to the suitability of the
contract as an investment vehicle for the Qualified Plan.

SALES OF VARIABLE ACCUMULATION CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The principal underwriter of the contracts is PEPCO. Contracts may be
purchased through registered representatives of W.S. Griffith & Company, Inc.
("WSG") who are licensed to sell Phoenix annuity contracts. Both WSG and PEPCO
are indirect, majority owned subsidiary of Phoenix. Contracts also may be
purchased through other broker-dealers or entities registered under or exempt
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whose representatives are authorized
by applicable law to sell contracts under terms of agreement provided by PEPCO
and terms of agreement provided by Phoenix.
In addition to reimbursing PEPCO for its expenses, we pay PEPCO an amount
equal to up to 7.25% of the payments made under the contract. PEPCO pays any
qualified distribution organization an amount which may not exceed 7.25% of the
payments under the contract. Any such amount paid with respect to contracts sold
through other broker-dealers will be paid by us to or through PEPCO. The amounts
paid are not deducted from the payments. Deductions for surrender charges (as
described under "Surrender Charges") may be used as reimbursement for commission
payments.
Although the Glass-Steagall Act prohibits banks and bank affiliates from
engaging in the business of underwriting securities, banking regulators have not
indicated that such institutions are prohibited from purchasing variable annuity
contracts upon the order and for the account of their customers.
STATE REGULATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are subject to the provisions of the New York insurance laws applicable
to life insurance companies and to regulation and supervision by the New York
Superintendent of Insurance. We also are subject to the applicable insurance
laws of all the other states and jurisdictions in which it does an insurance
business.
State regulation of Phoenix includes certain limitations on the investments
which may be made for its General Account and separate accounts, including the
Account. It does not include, however, any supervision over the investment
policies of the Account.
REPORTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports showing the contract value and containing the financial statements
of the Account will be furnished to you at least annually.
VOTING RIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As stated above, all of the assets held in an available subaccount will be
invested in shares of a corresponding Series of the Funds. We are the legal
owner of those shares and as such has the right to vote to elect the Board of
Trustees of the Funds, to vote upon certain matters that are required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") to be approved or ratified by the
shareholders of a mutual fund and to vote upon any other matter that may be
voted upon at a shareholders' meeting. However, we intend to vote the shares of
the Funds at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of the Funds in
accordance with instructions received from owners of the contracts.
We currently intend to vote Fund shares attributable to any of our assets
and Fund shares held in each subaccount for which no timely instructions from
owners are received in the same proportion as those shares in that subaccount
for which instructions are received. In the future, to the extent applicable
federal securities laws or regulations permit us to vote some or all shares of
the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Matters on which owners may give voting instructions may include the
following: (1) election of the Board of Trustees of a Fund; (2) ratification of
the independent accountant for a Fund; (3) approval or amendment of the
investment advisory agreement for the Series of the Fund corresponding to the
owner's selected subaccount(s); (4) any change in the fundamental investment
policies or restrictions of each such Series; and (5) any other matter requiring
a vote of the Shareholders of a Fund. With respect to amendment of any
investment advisory agreement or any change in a Series' fundamental investment
policy, owners participating in such Series will vote separately on the matter.
The number of votes that you have the right to cast will be determined by
applying your percentage interest in a subaccount to the total number of votes
attributable to the subaccount. In determining the number of votes, fractional
shares will be recognized. The number of votes for which you may give us
instructions will be determined as of the record date for Fund shareholders
chosen by the Board of Trustees of a Fund. We will furnish you with proper forms
and proxies to enable them to give these instructions.

APPENDIX A-1
PERFORMANCE HISTORY FOR CONTRACTS WITH BENEFIT OPTION 1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time, the Account may include the performance history of any or
all subaccounts in advertisements, sales literature or reports. Performance
information about each subaccount is based on past performance only and is not
an indication of future performance. Performance information may be expressed as
yield and effective yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount, as
yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Subaccount and as total
return of any subaccount. For the Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income
Subaccount, quotations of yield will be based on all investment income per unit
earned during a given 30-day period (including dividends and interest), less
expenses accrued during the period ("net investment income") and are computed by
dividing the net investment income by the maximum offering price per unit on the
last day of the period.
When a subaccount advertises its total return, it usually will be calculated
for one year, five years and ten years or since inception if the subaccount has
not been in existence for at least ten years. Total return is measured by
comparing the value of a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the subaccount at the
beginning of the relevant period to the value of the investment at the end of
the period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value
and the deduction of all applicable contract charges except for premium taxes
(which vary by state) at the beginning of the relevant period.
For those subaccounts within the Account that have not been available for
one of the quoted periods, the standardized average annual total return
quotations may show the investment performance such subaccount would have
achieved (reduced by the applicable charges) had it been available to invest in
shares of the Fund for the period quoted.
THE SUBACCOUNTS COMMENCED OPERATIONS AS OF THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS,
THEREFORE, NO AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN DATA ARE AVAILABLE.

Current yield for the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount is based upon
the income earned by the subaccount over a 7-day period and then annualized,
i.e., the income earned in the period is assumed to be earned every seven days
over a 52-week period and stated as a percentage of the investment. Effective
yield is calculated similarly but when annualized, the income earned by the
investment is assumed to be reinvested in subaccount units and thus compounded
in the course of a 52-week period. Yield and effective yield reflect the
recurring charges on the Account level excluding the annual administrative fee.
Yield calculations of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount used for
illustration purposes are based on the consideration of a hypothetical contract
owner's account having a balance of exactly one unit at the beginning of a 7-day
period, which period will end on the date of the most recent financial
statements. The yield for the subaccount during this 7-day period will be the
change in the value of the hypothetical contract owner's account's original
unit. The following is an example of how these yield quotations are calculated:
Example:
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly one
unit at the beginning of the period:........................ $1.000000
Value of the same account (excluding capital changes) at the
end of the 7-day period:.................................... 1.000828
Calculation:
Ending account value........................................ 1.000828
Less beginning value........................................ 1.000000
Net change in account value................................. 0.000828
Base period return:
(adjusted change/beginning account value)................... 0.000828
Current yield = return x (365/7).............................. 4.32%
Effective yield = [(1 + return)(365/7)] -1.................... 4.41%
The current yield and effective yield information will fluctuate, and
publication of yield information may not provide a basis for comparison with
bank deposits, other investments which are insured and/or pay a fixed yield for
a stated period of time, or other investment companies, due to charges which
will be deducted on the Account level.
A subaccount's performance may be compared to that of the Consumer Price
Index or various unmanaged equity or bond indices such as the Dow Jones
Industrial Average(SM), the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index
("S&P 500"), and the Europe Australia Far East Index, and also may be compared
to the performance of the other variable annuity accounts as reported by
services such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ("CDA") and Morningstar, Inc. or in other various
publications. Lipper and CDA are widely recognized independent rating/ranking
services. A subaccount's performance also may be compared to that of other
investment or savings vehicles.
Advertisements, sales literature and other communications may contain
information about any Series' or Advisers' current investment strategies and
management style. Current strategies and style may change to respond to a
changing market and economic conditions. From time to time, the Series may
discuss specific portfolio holdings or industries in such communications. To
illustrate components of overall performance, the Series may separate their
cumulative and average annual returns into income results and capital gains or
losses; or cite separately as a return figure the equity or bond portion of a
Series' portfolio; or compare a Series' equity or bond return figure to
well-known indices of market performance including, but not limited to, the S&P
500, Dow Jones Industrial Average(SM), First Boston High Yield Index and Solomon
Brothers Corporate and Government Bond Indices.
EACH FUND'S ANNUAL REPORT, AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE,
CONTAINS A DISCUSSION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND A COMPARISON OF THAT
PERFORMANCE TO A SECURITIES MARKET INDEX.

APPENDIX B
THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contributions to the GIA under the contract and transfers to the GIA become
part of the general account of Phoenix (the "General Account"), which supports
insurance and annuity obligations. Because of exemptive and exclusionary
provisions, interest in the General Account has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") nor is the General Account registered as an
investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the General Account
nor any interest therein is specifically subject to the provisions of the 1933
or 1940 Acts and the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this
Prospectus concerning the GIA. Disclosures regarding the GIA and the General
Account, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of
the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of
statements made in prospectuses.
The General Account is made up of all of the general assets of Phoenix other
than those allocated to any separate account. Payments will be allocated to the
GIA and, therefore, the General Account, as elected by the owner at the time of
purchase or as subsequently changed. Phoenix will invest the assets of the
General Account in assets chosen by it and allowed by applicable law. Investment
income from General Account assets is allocated between Phoenix and the
contracts participating in the General Account, in accordance with the terms of
such contracts.
Fixed annuity payments made to annuitants under the contract will not be
affected by the mortality experience (death rate) of persons receiving such
payments or of the general population. Phoenix assumes this "mortality risk" by
virtue of annuity rates incorporated in the contract that cannot be changed. In
addition, Phoenix guarantees that it will not increase charges for maintenance
of the contracts regardless of its actual expenses.
Investment income from the General Account allocated to Phoenix includes
compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by it in connection with
General Account contracts.
The amount of investment income allocated to the contracts will vary from
year to year in the sole discretion of Phoenix. However, Phoenix guarantees that
it will credit interest at a rate of not less than 3% per year compounded
annually, to amounts allocated to the GIA. Phoenix may credit interest at a rate
in excess of these rates; however, it is not obligated to credit any interest in
excess of these rates.
On the last business day of each calendar week, Phoenix will set the excess
interest rate, if any, that will apply to amounts deposited to the GIA. That
rate will remain in effect for such deposits for an initial guarantee period of
1 full year from the date of deposit. Upon expiration of the initial 1-year
guarantee period (and each subsequent 1-year guarantee period thereafter), the
rate to be applied to any deposits whose guaranteed period has just ended will
be the same rate as is applied to new deposits allocated to the GIA at that
time. This rate will likewise remain in effect for a guarantee period of 1 full
year from the date the new rate is applied.
Excess interest, if any, will be determined by Phoenix based on information
as to expected investment yields. Some of the factors that Phoenix may consider
in determining whether to credit excess interest to amounts allocated to the GIA
and the amount thereof, are general economic trends, rates of return currently
available and anticipated on investments, regulatory and tax requirements and
competitive factors. ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE GIA IN
EXCESS OF 3% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF PHOENIX AND
WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY SPECIFIC FORMULA. THE CONTRACT OWNER ASSUMES THE RISK THAT
INTEREST CREDITED TO GIA ALLOCATIONS MAY NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE FOR
ANY GIVEN YEAR.
Phoenix is aware of no statutory limitations on the maximum amount of
interest it may credit, and the Board of Directors has set no limitations.
However, inherent in Phoenix's exercise of discretion in this regard is the
equitable allocation of distributable earnings and surplus among its various
policyholders, contract owners and shareholders.
Excess interest, if any, will be credited on the GIA contract value. Phoenix
guarantees that, at any time, the GIA contract value will not be less than the
amount of payments allocated to the GIA, plus interest at the rate of 3% per
year, compounded annually, plus any additional interest which Phoenix may, in
its discretion, credit to the GIA, less the sum of any applicable annual
administrative or surrender charges, any applicable premium taxes, and less any
amounts surrendered. If the owner surrenders the contract, the amount available
from the GIA will be reduced by any applicable surrender charge and annual
administration charge. See "Deductions and Charges."
For 403(b) plans with loans, amounts borrowed from the GIA will be treated
as transfers to the Loan Security Account and subject to the same limitations as
applies to transfers from the GIA (see "Qualified Plans").
IN GENERAL, YOU CAN MAKE ONLY ONE TRANSFER PER YEAR FROM THE GIA. THE AMOUNT
THAT CAN BE TRANSFERRED OUT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $1,000 OR 25% OF THE
CONTRACT VALUE IN THE GIA AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSFER. IF YOU ELECT THE DOLLAR
COST AVERAGING PROGRAM, APPROXIMATELY EQUAL AMOUNTS MAY BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF
THE GIA OVER A MINIMUM 6-MONTH PERIOD. ALSO, THE TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE ALLOCATED
TO THE GIA MAY BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE GIA TO ONE OR MORE OF THE SUBACCOUNTS
OF THE ACCOUNT OVER A CONSECUTIVE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING
ANNUALLY RENEWABLE SCHEDULE:
Year One: 25% Year Two: 33% Year Three: 50% Year Four: 100%

PEPCO, an affiliate of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company
("Phoenix"), offers these contracts on a continuous basis. During the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, PEPCO was paid $21.4, $22.1 and
$13.9 million, respectively, and retained $0 for sales of these contracts.
CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount. We summarize the
following information in the prospectus under the heading "Performance History."
We calculate the yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount for a
7-day "base period" by determining the "net change in value" of a hypothetical
pre-existing account. We assume the hypothetical account had an initial balance
of one share at the beginning of the base period. We then determine what the
value of the hypothetical account would have been at the end of the 7-day base
period. The end value minus the initial value gives us the net change in value
for the hypothetical account. The net change in value can then be divided by the
initial value giving us the base period return (one week's return). To find the
equivalent annual return we multiply the base period return by 365/7. The
equivalent effective annual yield differs from the annual return because we
assume all returns are reinvested in the subaccount. We carry results to the
nearest hundredth of one percent.
The net change in value of the hypothetical account includes the daily net
investment income of the account (after expenses), but does not include realized
gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying
fund shares.
The yield/return calculations include a mortality and expense risk charge
equal to 1.25% on an annual basis, and, for some contracts, a daily
administrative fee equal to 0.125% on an annual basis.
The Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount return and effective yield will
vary in response to fluctuations in interest rates and in the expenses of the
subaccount.
We do not include the maximum annual administrative fee in calculating the
current return and effective yield. Should such a fee apply to your account,
current return and/or effective yield for your account could be reduced.
Example Calculations:
The following examples of a return/yield calculations for the
Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount were based on the 7-day period ending
December 31, 1999:
EXAMPLE FOR GROUP STRATEGIC EDGE, BIG EDGE PLUS

Calculation of Total Return. We summarize the following information in the
prospectus under the heading, "Performance History." Total return measures the
change in value of a subaccount investment over a stated period. We compute
total returns by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the
1-, 5- and 10-year periods that would equate the initial amount invested to the
ending redeemable value according to a formula. The formula for total return
includes the following steps:
(1) We assume a hypothetical $1,000 initial investment in the subaccount;
(2) We determine the value the hypothetical initial investment would have were
it redeemed at the end of each period. All recurring fees and any applicable
contingent deferred sales charge are deducted. This figure is the ending
redeemable value (ERV in the formula given below);
B-2
<PAGE>
(3) We divide this value by the initial $1,000 investment, resulting in ratio of
the ending redeemable value to the initial value for that period;
(4) To get the average annual total return we take the nth root of the ratio
from step (3), where n equals the number of years in that period (e.g. 1, 5,
10), and subtract one.
The formula in mathematical terms is:
R = ((ERV / II)(1/n)) - 1
Where:
II = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
R = average annual total return for the period
n = number of years in the period
ERV = ending redeemable value of the hypothetical
$1,000 for the period [see (2) and (3) above]
We normally calculate total return for 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods
for each subaccount. If a subaccount has not been available for at least 10
years, we will provide total returns for other relevant periods.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Advertisements, sale literature and other communications may contain
information about series' or advisor's current investment strategies and
management style. An advisor may alter investment strategies and style in
response to changing market and economic conditions. A fund may wish to make
known a series' specific portfolio holdings or holdings in specific industries.
A fund may also separately illustrate the income and capital gain portions of a
series' total return. Performance might also be advertised by breaking down
returns into equity and debt components. A series may compare its equity or bond
return figure to any of a number of well-known benchmarks of market performance,
including, but not limited to:
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (1)
First Boston High Yield Index
Salomon Brothers Corporate Index
Salomon Brothers Government Bond Index
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500)(2)
Each subaccount may include its yield and total return in advertisements or
communications with current or prospective contract owners. Each subaccount may
also include in such advertisements, its ranking or comparison to similar mutual
funds by such organizations as:
Lipper Analytical Services
Morningstar, Inc.
Thomson Financial
A fund may also compare a series' performance to other investment or savings
vehicles (such as certificates of deposit) and may refer to results published in
such publications as:
Barrons
Business Week
Changing Times
Forbes
Fortune
Consumer Reports
Investor's Business Daily
Financial Planning
Financial Services Weekly
Financial World
Money
The New York Times
Personal Investor
Registered Representative
Stanger's Investment Adviser
The Stanger Register
U.S. News and World Report
The Wall Street Journal
A fund may also illustrate the benefits of tax deferral by comparing taxable
investments with investments through tax-deferred retirement plans.
The total return and yield may be used to compare the performance of the
subaccounts with certain commonly used standards for stock and bond market
performance. Such indexes include, but are not limited to:
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (1)
First Boston High Yield Index
Salomon Brothers Corporate Index
Salomon Brothers Government Bond Index
The S&P 500(2)
CALCULATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See your prospectus in the section titled "The Annuity Period" for a
description of the annuity options and restrictions.
You may elect a payment option by written request as described in your
prospectus. If you do not elect an option, amounts held under the contract will
be applied to provide a Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-year period
certain (Option I) on the maturity date. You may not change your election after
the first annuity payment.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Fixed annuity payments are determined by the total dollar value for all
subaccounts' accumulation units and all amounts held in the GIA. For each
contract the resulting dollar value is then multiplied by the applicable annuity
purchase rate, which reflects the age (and sex for nontax-qualified plans) of
the annuitant or annuitants, for the fixed payment annuity option selected. The
guaranteed annuity payment rates will be no less favorable than the following:
Under Options A, B, D, E and F rates are based on the a-49 Annuity Table(4)
projected to 1985 with Projection Scale B. We use an interest rate of 3-3/8% for
5- and 10-year certain periods under Option A, for the 10-year certain period
under Option F, and for Option E; an interest rate of 3-1/4% for the 20-year
certain period under Options A and F; an interest rate
B-3
<PAGE>
of 3-1/2% under Options B and D. Under Options G and H the guaranteed interest
rate is 3%.
It is possible that we may have more favorable (i.e. higher-paying) rates in
effect on the settlement date.
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Under all variable options except Option L, the first payment is based on an
assumed annual investment rate of 4-1/2%. Should the assumed rate result in a
first payment larger than permitted by state law, we will select a lower rate.
All subsequent payments may be higher or lower depending on investment
experience of the subaccounts.
Under Options I, J, K, M and N, we determine the first payment by
multiplying the amounts held under the selected option in each subaccount by the
applicable payment option rate, which reflects the age (and sex for
nontax-qualified plans) of the annuitant or annuitants. The first payment equals
the total of such amounts determined for each subaccount. We determine future
payments under these options by multiplying the contract value in each
subaccount (Number of Annuity Units times the Annuity Unit Value) by the
applicable payment option's rate on the payment calculation date. The payment
will equal the sum of the amounts provided by each subaccount investment.
Under Option L, we determine the amount of the annual distribution by
dividing the amount of contract value held under this option on December 31 of
the previous year by the life expectancy of the annuitant or the joint life
expectancy of the annuitant and joint annuitant at that time.
Under Options I, J, M and N, the applicable options rate used to determine
the first payment amount will not be less than the rate based on the 1983 Table
A (1983 IAM)(4) projected with Projection Scale G to the year 2040, and with
continued projection thereafter, and on the assumed investment rate. Under
Option K, the rate will be based on the number of payments to be made during the
specified period and the assumed investment rate.
We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily
administrative fee from contract values held in the subaccounts. See your
prospectus in the section titled "Deductions and Charges." Electing Option K
will result in a mortality risk deduction being made even though we assume no
mortality risk under that option.
EXPERTS

The financial statements of Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account
as of December 31, 1999 and for the year then ended and the consolidated
financial statements of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 included herein have been so included in reliance on the
respective reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given
on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose address is One Financial Plaza, Hartford,
Connecticut, also provides other accounting and tax-related services as
requested by Phoenix from time to time.
Edwin L. Kerr, Counsel, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, has
provided advice on certain matters relating to the federal securities and income
tax laws in connection with the contracts described in this prospectus.
1 The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (DJIASM) is an unweighted(3) index of 30
industrial "blue chip" U.S. stocks. It is the oldest continuing U.S. market
index. The 30 stocks now in the DJIASM are both widely-held and a major
influence in their respective industries. The average is computed in such a
way as to preserve its historical continuity and account for such factors as
stock splits and periodic changes in the components of the index. The editors
of The Wall Street Journal select the component stocks of the DJIASM.
2 The S&P 500 is a market-value weighted(3) index composed of 500 stocks chosen
for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is one of
the most widely used indicators of U.S. Stock Market performance. As of
December 31, 1999 it contained 376 industrial, 41 utility, 72 financial and 11
transportation issues. The composition of the S&P 500 changes from time to
time. Standard & Poor's Index Committee makes all decisions about the S&P 500.
3 Weighted and unweighted indexes: A market-value, or capitalization, weighted
index uses relative market value (share price multiplied by the number of
shares outstanding) to "weight" the influence of a stock's price on the index.
Simply put, larger companies' stock prices influence the index more than
smaller companies' stock prices. An unweighted index (such as the Dow Jones
Industrial AverageSM) uses stock price alone to determine the index value. A
company's relative size has no bearing on its impact on the index.
4 The Society of Actuaries developed these tables to provide payment rates for
annuities based on a set of mortality tables acceptable to most regulating
authorities.

PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION
Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account (the "Account") is a separate
investment account of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company ("Phoenix").
The Account is organized as a unit investment trust and currently consists of 34
Subaccounts and invests in corresponding series (the "Series") of The Phoenix
Edge Series Fund, Wanger Advisors Trust, the Templeton Variable Products Series
Fund, BT Insurance Funds Trust, Federated Insurance Series, and Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter Universal Funds, Inc. (the "Funds"). The Account is offered as The
Big Edge and The Big Edge Plus to individuals (VA1, VA2 and VA3) and is also
offered as Group Strategic Edge ("GSE") to groups to fund certain tax-qualified
pension plans or profit sharing plans including Phoenix's Savings Investment
Plan ("SIP"). The Subaccount is subdivided into three pools designated ("VA1"),
("VA2 & VA3") and ("GSE"). VA2, VA3 and GSE contracts include a higher expense
risk charge than the VA1 contract. SIP contracts are offered to employees of
Phoenix Home Life and do not incur mortality and expense charges.
Each Series has distinct investment objectives. The Phoenix-Goodwin Money
Market Series seeks to provide maximum current income consistent with capital
preservation and liquidity. The Phoenix-Engemann Capital Growth Series seeks to
achieve intermediate and long-term growth of capital, with income as a secondary
consideration. The Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Series seeks to
provide long-term total return by investing in a diversified portfolio of high
yield and high quality fixed income securities. The Phoenix-Oakhurst Strategic
Allocation Series seeks to realize as high a level of total rate of return over
an extended period of time as is considered consistent with prudent investment
risk by investing in three market segments: stocks, bonds and money market
instruments. The Phoenix-Aberdeen International Series seeks as its investment
objective a high total return consistent with reasonable risk by investing
primarily in an internationally diversified portfolio of equity securities. The
Phoenix-Oakhurst Balanced Series seeks to provide reasonable income, long-term
growth and conservation of capital. The Phoenix-Duff & Phelps Real Estate
Securities Series seeks to achieve capital appreciation and income with
approximately equal emphasis through investments in real estate investment
trusts and companies that operate, manage, develop or invest in real estate. The
Phoenix-Seneca Strategic Theme Series seeks long-term appreciation of capital by
investing in securities that the adviser believes are well positioned to benefit
from cultural, demographic, regulatory, social or technological changes
worldwide. The Phoenix-Aberdeen New Asia Series seeks to provide long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in diversified equity securities of
issuers organized and principally operating in Asia, excluding Japan. The
Phoenix Research Enhanced Index Series seeks high total return by investing in a
broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities of large and medium
capitalization companies within market sectors reflected in the Standard &
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Phoenix-Engemann Nifty Fifty Series
seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation investing in approximately 50
different securities which offer the potential for long-term growth of capital.
The Phoenix-Seneca Mid-Cap Growth Series seeks capital appreciation primarily
through investments in equity securities of companies that have the potential
for above average market appreciation. The Phoenix-Oakhurst Growth and Income
Series seeks as its investment objective, dividend growth, current income and
capital appreciation by investing in common stocks. The Phoenix-Hollister Value
Equity Series seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income by
investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks which meet certain
quantitative standards that indicate above average financial soundness and
intrinsic value relative to price. The Phoenix-Schafer Mid-Cap Value Series
seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with current income as the
secondary investment objective by investing in common stocks of established
companies having a strong financial position and a low stock market valuation at
the time of purchase which are believed to offer the possibility of increase in
value. The Wanger U.S. Small Cap Series invests in growth common stock of U.S.
companies with stock market capitalization of less than $1 billion. The Wanger
International Small Cap Series invests in securities of non-U.S. companies with
a stock market capitalization of less than $1 billion. The Templeton Stock Fund
is a capital growth common stock fund. The Templeton Asset Allocation Fund
invests in stocks and debt obligations of companies and governments and money
market instruments seeking high total return. The Templeton International Fund
invests in stocks and debt obligations of companies and governments outside the
United States. The Templeton Developing Markets Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in equity securities of issuers in countries having
developing markets. The Mutual Shares Investments Fund is a capital appreciation
fund with income as a secondary objective. The Wanger Twenty Series invests in
growth common stock of U.S. companies with market capitalizations of $1 billion
to $10 billion, focusing its investments in 20 to 25 U.S. companies. The Wanger
Foreign Forty Series invests in equity securities of foreign companies with
market capitalizations of $1 billion to $10 billion, focusing its investments in
40 to 60 companies in the developed markets. The EAFE(R) Equity Index Fund seeks
to match the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE(R)
Index, by investing in a statistically selected sample of the securities found
in the matching fund. The Bankers Trust Dow 30 Series seeks to track the total
return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM before fund expenses. The Federated
Fund for U.S. Government Securities II Series seeks high current income by
investing in U.S. government securities, including mortgage-backed securities
issued by U.S. government agencies. The Federated High Income Bond Fund II
Series seeks high current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of
high-yield, lower-rated corporate bonds. The Phoenix-Federated U.S. Government
Bond Series seeks to maximize total return by investing in debt obligations of
the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. The Phoenix-Janus
Equity Income Series seeks current income and long-term capital growth. The
Phoenix-Janus Growth Series seeks long-term capital growth, consistent with the
preservation of capital. The Phoenix-Janus Flexible Income Series seeks to
obtain maximum total return, consistent with the preservation of capital. The
Phoenix-Morgan Stanley Focus Equity Series seeks capital appreciation by
investing in equity securities. The Technology Portfolio seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in equity securities involved with technology

and technology-related industries. Contract owners also may direct the
allocation of their investments between the Account and the Guaranteed Interest
Account.
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: Investments are made exclusively in the Funds
and are valued at the net asset values per share of the respective Series.
B. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME: Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses include capital gain
distributions from the Funds as well as gains and losses on sales of shares in
the Funds determined on the LIFO (last in, first out) basis.
C. INCOME TAXES: The Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix and, under
current federal income tax law, income arising from the Account is not taxed
since reserves are established equivalent to such income. Therefore, no
provision for related federal taxes is required.
D. DISTRIBUTIONS: Distributions from the Funds are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
E. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
F. RECLASSIFICATION: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.

PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 5--INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Phoenix and its indirect, majority owned subsidiary, Phoenix Equity Planning
Corporation ("PEPCO"), a registered broker/dealer in securities, provide all
services to the Account.
Phoenix assumes the risk that annuitants as a class may live longer than
expected (necessitating a greater number of annuity payments) and that its
expenses may be higher than its deductions for such expenses. In return for the
assumption of these mortality and expense risks, Phoenix charges the Subaccounts
designated VA1 in the daily equivalent of 0.40% on an annual basis of the
current value of the Subaccount's net assets for mortality risks assumed and the
daily equivalent of 0.60% on an annual basis for expense risks assumed. VA2, VA3
& GSE Subaccounts are charged the daily equivalent of 0.40% and 0.85% on an
annual basis for mortality and expense risks, respectively.
As compensation for administrative services provided to the Account, Phoenix
additionally receives $35 per year from each contract, which is deducted from
the Subaccount holding the assets of the participant, or on a pro rata basis
from two or more Subaccounts in relation to their values under the contract.
Fees for administrative services provided for the year ended December 31, 1999
aggregated $1,136,408 and are funded by and included in participant withdrawals.
PEPCO is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Account. Phoenix
reimburses PEPCO for expenses incurred as underwriter.
On surrender of a contract, contingent deferred sales charges, which vary
from 0 - 6% depending upon the duration of each contract deposit, are deducted
from the proceeds and are paid to Phoenix as reimbursement for services
provided. Contingent deferred sales charges deducted and paid to Phoenix
aggregated $2,430,013 for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTION OF NET INCOME
The Account does not expect to declare dividends to participants from
accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is distributed to
participants as part of withdrawals of amounts in the form of surrenders, death
benefits, transfers or annuity payments in excess of net purchase payments.
NOTE 7--DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), a variable annuity contract, other than a contract issued in connection
with certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as an annuity
contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of
the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately
diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may
be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test
or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of
the Code. Phoenix believes that the Account satisfies the current requirements
of the regulations, and it intends that the Account will continue to meet such
requirements.

for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Account's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments at December
31, 1999 by correspondence with fund custodians or transfer agents, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION
Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account (the "Account") is a separate
investment account of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company ("Phoenix").
The Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Account was established June 21, 1982 and
currently consists of 34 Subaccounts, that invest in a corresponding series (the
"Series"), of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund, Wanger Advisors Trust, the Templeton
Variable Products Series Fund, BT Insurance Funds Trust, Federated Insurance
Series, and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Universal Funds, Inc. (the "Funds"). As
of December 31, 1999, 27 of the available 34 Subaccounts were invested in a
corresponding series.
Each Series has distinct investment objectives. The Phoenix-Goodwin Money
Market Series seeks to provide maximum current income consistent with capital
preservation and liquidity. The Phoenix-Engemann Capital Growth Series seeks to
achieve intermediate and long-term growth of capital, with income as a secondary
consideration. The Phoenix-Goodwin Multi-Sector Fixed Income Series seeks to
provide long-term total return by investing in a diversified portfolio of high
yield and high quality fixed income securities. The Phoenix-Oakhurst Strategic
Allocation Series seeks to realize as high a level of total rate of return over
an extended period of time as is considered consistent with prudent investment
risk by investing in three market segments: stocks, bonds and money market
instruments. The Phoenix-Aberdeen International Series seeks as its investment
objective a high total return consistent with reasonable risk by investing
primarily in an internationally diversified portfolio of equity securities. The
Phoenix-Oakhurst Balanced Series seeks to provide reasonable income, long-term
growth and conservation of capital. The Phoenix-Duff & Phelps Real Estate
Securities Series seeks to achieve capital appreciation and income with
approximately equal emphasis through investments in real estate investment
trusts and companies that operate, manage, develop or invest in real estate. The
Phoenix-Seneca Strategic Theme Series seeks long-term appreciation of capital by
investing in securities that the adviser believes are well positioned to benefit
from cultural, demographic, regulatory, social or technological changes
worldwide. The Phoenix-Aberdeen New Asia Series seeks to provide long-term

issuers organized and principally operating in Asia, excluding Japan. The

broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities of large and medium
capitalization companies within market sectors reflected in the Standard &
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Phoenix-Engemann Nifty Fifty Series
seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation investing in approximately 50
different securities which offer the potential for long-term growth of capital.
The Phoenix-Seneca Mid-Cap Growth Series seeks capital appreciation primarily
through investments in equity securities of companies that have the potential
for above average market appreciation. The Phoenix-Oakhurst Growth and Income
Series seeks as its investment objective, dividend growth, current income and
capital appreciation by investing in common stocks. The Phoenix-Hollister Value
Equity Series seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income by
investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks which meet certain
quantitative standards that indicate above average financial soundness and
intrinsic value relative to price. The Phoenix-Schafer Mid-Cap Value Series
seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with current income as the
secondary investment objective by investing in common stocks of established
companies having a strong financial position and a low stock market valuation at
the time of purchase which are believed to offer the possibility of increase in
value. The Wanger U.S. Small Cap Series invests in growth common stock of U.S.
companies with stock market capitalization of less than $1 billion. The Wanger
International Small Cap Series invests in securities of non-U.S. companies with
a stock market capitalization of less than $1 billion. The Templeton Stock Fund
is a capital growth common stock fund. The Templeton Asset Allocation Fund
invests in stocks and debt obligations of companies and governments and money
market instruments seeking high total return. The Templeton International Fund
invests in stocks and debt obligations of companies and governments outside the
United States. The Templeton Developing Markets Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in equity securities of issuers in countries having
developing markets. The Mutual Shares Investments Fund is a capital appreciation
fund with income as a secondary objective. The Wanger Twenty Series invests in
growth common stock of U.S. companies with market capitalizations of $1 billion
to $10 billion, focusing its investments in 20 to 25 U.S. companies. The Wanger
Foreign Forty Series invests in equity securities of foreign companies with
market capitalizations of $1 billion to $10 billion, focusing its investments in
40 to 60 companies in the develpoed markets. The EAFE(R) Equity Index Fund seeks
to match the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE(R)
Index, by investing in a statistically selected sample of the securities found
in the matching fund. The Federated Fund for U.S. Government Securities II
Series seeks high current income by investing in U.S. government securities,
including mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies. The
Federated High Income Bond Fund II Series seeks high current income by investing
in a diversified portfolio of high-yield, lower-rated corporate bonds. The
Phoenix-Bankers Trust Dow 30 Series seeks to track the total return of the Dow
Jones Industrial Average[SM] before fund expenses. The Phoenix-Federated U.S.
Government Bond Series seeks to maximize total return by investing in debt
obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. The
Phoenix-Janus Equity Income Series seeks current income and long-term capital
growth. The Phoenix-Janus Growth Series seeks long-term capital growth,
consistent with the preservation of capital. The Phoenix-Janus Flexible Income
Series seeks to obtain maximum total return, consistent with the preservation of
capital. The Phoenix-Morgan Stanley Focus Equity Series seeks capital
appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities. The Technology
Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities
involved with technology and technology-related industries. Additionally,
policyowners also may direct the allocation of their investments between the
Account and the Guaranteed Interest Account of the general account of Phoenix.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: Investments are made exclusively in the Funds
and are valued at the net asset values per share of the respective Series.
B. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME: Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses include capital gain
distributions from the Funds as well as gains and losses on sales of shares in
the Funds determined on the LIFO (last in, first out) basis.
C. INCOME TAXES: The Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix and, under
current federal income tax law, income arising from the Account is not taxed
since reserves are established equivalent to such income. Therefore, no
provision for related federal taxes is required.
D. DISTRIBUTIONS: Distributions from the Funds are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
E. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 5--INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Phoenix and its indirect affiliate, Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation
("PEPCO"), a registered broker/dealer in securities, provide all services to the
Account.
As compensation for administrative services provided to the Account, Phoenix
additionally receives $35 per year from each contract, which is deducted from
the Subaccount holding the assets of the participant, or on a pro-rata basis
from two or more Subaccounts in relation to their values under the contract.
Such costs aggregated $9,754 during the period ended December 31, 1999.
PEPCO is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Account. PEPCO is
reimbursed for its distribution and underwriting expenses by Phoenix.
On surrender of a contract, contingent deferred sales charges, which vary
from 0-6% depending upon the duration of each contract deposit, are deducted
from proceeds and are paid to Phoenix as reimbursement for services provided.
Contingent deferred sales charges deducted and paid to Phoenix aggregated
$15,891 for the period ended December 31, 1999.
Phoenix assumes the risk that annuitants as a class may live longer than
expected (necessitating a greater number of annuity payments) and that its
expenses may be higher than the deductions for such expenses. In return for the
assumption of these mortality and expense risks, Phoenix charges each Subaccount
the daily equivalent of 0.40%, 0.85% and 0.125% on an annual basis for
mortality, expense risks and daily administrative fees, respectively.
NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTION OF NET INCOME
The Account does not expect to declare dividends to participants from
accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is distributed to
participants as part of withdrawals of amounts in the form of surrenders, death
benefits, transfers or annuity payments in excess of net purchase payments.
NOTE 7--DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), a variable annuity contract, other than a contract issued in connection
with certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as an annuity
contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of
the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately
diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may
be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test
or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of
the Code. Phoenix believes that the Account satisfies the current requirements
of the regulations, and it intends that the Account will continue to meet such
requirements.

the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Account's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of investments at December 31, 1999 by
correspondence with fund custodians or transfer agents, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
As indicated in Note 20, the Company has revised the accounting for venture
capital partnerships.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (Phoenix)
market a wide range of insurance and investment products and services
including individual participating life insurance, term, universal and
variable life insurance, annuities, and investment advisory and mutual fund
distribution services. These products and services are distributed among
three reportable segments: Individual, Investment Management and Corporate &
Other. See Note 10 - "Segment Information."
Additionally, in 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four
of its business units: the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and
Casualty Brokerage Operations, the Real Estate Management
Operations and the Group Insurance Operations. See Note 11 -
"Discontinued Operations."
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phoenix and
significant subsidiaries. Less than majority-owned entities in which Phoenix
has significant influence over operating and financial policies, and
generally at least a 20% ownership interest, are reported on the equity
basis.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates used in determining insurance and contractholder liabilities,
related reinsurance recoverables, income taxes, contingencies and valuation
allowances for investment assets are discussed throughout the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Amounts for 1998 and 1997 have been
retroactively restated to account for income from venture capital
partnership investments and leveraged lease investments. See Note 20 -
"Prior Period Adjustments" for venture capital investment and leveraged
lease investment information. Certain reclassifications have been made to
the 1998 and 1997 amounts to conform with the 1999 presentation.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investments in debt securities include bonds, mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities. Phoenix classifies its debt securities as either
held-to-maturity or available-for-sale investments. Debt securities
held-to-maturity consist of private placement bonds reported at amortized
cost, net of impairments, that management intends and has the ability to
hold until maturity. Debt securities available-for-sale are reported at fair
value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity and consist of
public bonds and preferred stocks that management may not hold until
maturity. Debt securities are considered impaired when a decline in value is
considered to be other than temporary.
B-62
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the mortgage-backed and asset-backed bond portion of the debt security
portfolio, Phoenix 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 and any resulting adjustment is
included in net investment income.
Equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at
fair value, based principally on their quoted market prices, with unrealized
gains or losses included in equity. Equity securities are considered
impaired when a decline in value is considered to be other than temporary.
Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net
of valuation reserves on impaired mortgages. A mortgage loan is considered
to be impaired if management believes it is probable that Phoenix will be
unable to collect all amounts of contractual interest and principal as
scheduled in the loan agreement. An impaired mortgage loan's fair value is
measured based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the
loan's observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral. If
the fair value of a mortgage loan is less than the recorded investment in
the loan, the difference is recorded as a valuation reserve.
Real estate, all of which is held for sale, is carried at the lower of cost
or current fair value less costs to sell. Fair value for real estate is
determined taking into consideration one or more of the following factors:
property valuation techniques utilizing discounted cash flows at the time of
stabilization including capital expenditures and stabilization costs; sales
of comparable properties; geographic location of the property and related
market conditions; and disposition costs.
Policy loans are generally carried at their unpaid principal balances and
are collateralized by the cash values of the related policies.
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.
Venture capital partnership and other partnership interests are carried at
cost adjusted for Phoenix's equity in undistributed earnings or losses since
acquisition, less allowances for other than temporary declines in value.
These earnings or losses are included in investment income. Venture capital
partnerships generally account for the underlying investments held in the
partnerships at fair value. These investments can include public and private
common and preferred stock, notes, warrants and other investments.
Investments that are publicly traded are generally valued at closing market
prices. Investments that are not publicly traded, which are usually subject
to restrictions on resale, are generally valued at cost or at estimated fair
value, as determined in good faith by the general partner after giving
consideration to operating results, financial conditions, recent sales
prices of issuers' securities and other pertinent information. Some general
partners will discount the fair value of private investments held to reflect
these restrictions. These valuations subject the earnings to volatility.
Beginning in 1999, Phoenix includes equity in undistributed unrealized
capital gains and losses on investments held in the venture capital
partnerships in net investment income. Prior to 1999, these amounts were not
recorded. Prior years have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 20
- "Prior Period Adjustments" for additional information on venture capital
partnership investments.
B-63
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other invested assets include leveraged lease investments. These investments
represent the net of the estimated residual value of the lease assets,
rental receivables, and unearned and deferred income to be allocated over
the lease term. Investment income is calculated using the interest method
and is recognized only in periods in which the net investment is positive.
Realized investment gains and losses, other than those related to separate
accounts for which Phoenix does not bear the investment risk, are determined
by the specific identification method and reported as a component of
revenue. A realized investment loss is recorded when an investment valuation
reserve is determined. Valuation reserves are netted against the asset
categories to which they apply and changes in the valuation reserves are
included in realized investment gains and losses. Unrealized investment
gains and losses on debt securities and equity securities classified as
available-for-sale are included as a component of equity, net of deferred
income taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, Phoenix enters into transactions involving
various types of financial instruments including debt, investments such as
debt securities, mortgage loans and equity securities, off-balance sheet
financial instruments such as investment and loan commitments, financial
guarantees, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate floors
and swaptions. These instruments have credit risk and also may be subject to
risk of loss due to interest rate and market fluctuations.
Phoenix enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce market risks
from changes in interest rates. Phoenix does not enter into interest rate
swap agreements for trading purposes. Under interest rate swap agreements,
Phoenix exchanges cashflows with another party, at specified intervals, for
a set length of time based on a specified notional principal amount.
Typically, one of the cash flow streams is based on a fixed interest rate
set at the inception of the contract, and the other is a variable rate that
periodically resets. Generally, no premium is paid to enter into the
contract and no payment of principal is made by either party. The amounts to
be received or paid on these swap agreements are accrued and recognized in
net investment income.
Phoenix enters into interest rate floor, interest rate cap and swaption
contracts as a hedge for its assets and liabilities against substantial
changes in interest rates. Phoenix does not enter into interest rate floor,
interest rate cap and swaption contracts for trading purposes. Interest rate
floor and interest rate cap agreements are contracts with a counterparty
which require the payment of a premium and give Phoenix the right to receive
over the maturity of the contract, the difference between the floor or cap
interest rate and a market interest rate on specified future dates based on
an underlying notional principal. Swaption contracts are options to enter
into an interest rate swap transaction on a specified future date and at a
specified price. Upon the exercise of a swaption, Phoenix would either
receive a swap agreement at the pre-specified terms or cash for the market
value of the swap. Phoenix pays the premium for these instruments on a
quarterly basis over the maturity of the contract, and recognizes these
payments in net investment income.
Phoenix enters into foreign currency swap agreements to hedge against
fluctuations in foreign currency exposure. Under these agreements, Phoenix
agrees to exchange with another party, principal and periodic interest
payments denominated in foreign currency for payments denominated in U.S.
dollars. The amounts to be received or paid on these foreign currency swap
agreements is recognized in net investment income. To reduce counterparty
credit risks and
B-64
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
diversify counterparty exposure, Phoenix only enters into derivative
contracts with highly rated financial institutions.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and money market
instruments.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting,
distribution and policy issue expenses, all of which vary with and are
primarily related to the production of new business, are deferred. Deferred
policy acquisition costs (DAC) are subject to recoverability testing at the
time of policy issue and loss recognition at the end of each accounting
period. For individual participating life insurance policies, deferred
policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to historical and
anticipated gross margins. Deviations from expected experience are reflected
in earnings in the period such deviations occur.
For universal life insurance policies, limited pay and investment type
contracts, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to
total estimated gross profits over the expected average life of the
contracts using estimated gross margins arising principally from investment,
mortality and expense margins and surrender charges based on historical and
anticipated experience, updated at the end of each accounting period.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the
fair value of their net assets. These costs are amortized on a straight-line
basis over periods, not exceeding 40 years, that correspond with the
benefits expected to be derived from the acquisitions. Other intangible
assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.
Management periodically reevaluates the propriety of the carrying value of
goodwill and other intangible assets by comparing estimates of future
undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of assets. Assets are
considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds the expected future
undiscounted cash flows.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate account assets and liabilities are funds maintained in accounts to
meet specific investment objectives of contractholders who bear the
investment risk. Investment income and investment gains and losses accrue
directly to such contractholders. The assets of each account are legally
segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other
business of Phoenix. The assets and liabilities are carried at market value.
Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for
these accounts are excluded from revenues, and the related liability
increases are excluded from benefits and expenses. Amounts assessed to the
contractholders for management services are included in revenues.
POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS
Future policy benefits are liabilities for life, health and annuity
products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the
estimated future obligations of policies in force. Policy liabilities for
traditional life insurance are computed using the net level premium method
on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to assumed rates of interest,
mortality, morbidity and withdrawals. Liabilities for universal life include
deposits received from customers and
B-65
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investment earnings on their fund balances, less administrative charges.
Universal life fund balances are also assessed mortality charges.
Liabilities for outstanding claims, losses and loss adjustment expenses are
amounts estimated to cover incurred losses. These liabilities are based on
individual case estimates for reported losses and estimates of unreported
losses based on past experience.
Unearned premiums relate primarily to individual participating life
insurance as well as group life, accident and health insurance premiums. The
premiums are reported as earned on a pro-rata basis over the contract
period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned
premiums.
PREMIUM AND FEE REVENUE AND RELATED EXPENSES
Life insurance premiums, other than premiums for universal life and certain
annuity contracts, are recorded as premium revenue on a pro-rata basis over
each policy year. Benefits, losses and related expenses are matched with
premiums over the related contract periods. Revenues for investment-related
products consist of net investment income and contract charges assessed
against the fund values. Related benefit expenses primarily consist of net
investment income credited to the fund values after deduction for investment
and risk charges. Revenues for universal life products consist of net
investment income and mortality, administration and surrender charges
assessed against the fund values during the period. Related benefit expenses
include universal life benefit claims in excess of fund values and net
investment income credited to universal life fund values.
POLICYHOLDERS' DIVIDENDS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that
enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings of Phoenix. The
amount of policyholders' dividends to be paid is determined annually by
Phoenix's board of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholders'
dividends is related to the actual interest, mortality, morbidity and
expense experience for the year and Phoenix's judgment as to the appropriate
level of statutory surplus to be retained. At the end of the reporting
period, Phoenix establishes a dividend liability for the pro-rata portion of
the dividends payable on the next anniversary date of each policy. Phoenix
also establishes a liability for termination dividends.
INCOME TAXES
Phoenix and its eligible affiliated companies have elected to file a
life/nonlife consolidated federal income tax return for 1999 and prior
years. Entities included within the consolidated group are segregated into
either a life insurance or non-life insurance company subgroup. The
consolidation of these subgroups is subject to certain statutory
restrictions in the percentage of eligible non-life tax losses that can be
applied to offset life company taxable income.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their recorded amounts for financial
reporting purposes. These differences result primarily from policy
liabilities and accruals, policy acquisition expenses, investment impairment
reserves, reserves for postretirement benefits and unrealized gains or
losses on investments.
B-66

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a mutual life insurance company, Phoenix is required to reduce its income
tax deduction for policyholder dividends by the differential earnings
amount, defined as the difference between the earnings rates of stock and
mutual companies applied against an adjusted base of policyholders' surplus.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1999, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS
No. 133". Because of the complexities associated with transactions involving
derivative instruments and their prevalent use as hedging instruments and,
because of the difficulties associated with the implementation of Statement
133, the effective date of SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" was delayed until fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, initially issued on June 15, 1998,
requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at
their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on
whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it
is, the type of hedge transaction. For fair-value hedge transactions in
which Phoenix is hedging changes in an asset's, liability's or firm
commitment's fair value, changes in the fair value of the derivative
instrument will generally be offset in the income statement by changes in
the hedged item's fair value. For cash-flow hedge transactions, in which
Phoenix is hedging the variability of cashflows related to a variable-rate
asset, liability, or a forecasted transaction, changes in the fair value of
the derivative instrument will be reported in other comprehensive income.
The gains and losses on the derivative instrument that are reported in other
comprehensive income will be reclassified as earnings in the period in which
earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged
item. The ineffective portion of all hedges will be recognized in current
period earnings.
Phoenix has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 133 will
have on its earnings or statement of financial position.
Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of
January 1, 1998. This statement establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
financial statements. This statement defines the components of comprehensive
income as those items that were previously reported only as components of
equity and were excluded from net income.
In 1998, Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." This statement supersedes SFAS No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," replacing the "
industry segment" approach with the "management" approach. The management
approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for
making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of
Phoenix's reportable segments. The adoption of this statement did not affect
the results of operations or financial position but did affect the
disclosure of segment information.
In 1998, Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which amends
SFAS No. 87, " Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS No. 88,
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined
Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions". The new statement revises and standardizes

employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
Adoption of this statement did not affect the results of operations or
financial position of Phoenix.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 97-3,
"Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments." SOP 97-3 provides guidance for assessments related to
insurance activities. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a material
impact on Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides
guidance for determining when an entity should capitalize or expense
external and internal costs of computer software developed or obtained for
internal use. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on
Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that start-up costs capitalized
prior to January 1, 1999 should be written off and any future start-up costs
be expenses as incurred. The adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a material
impact on Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four of its business
units; the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and Casualty Brokerage
Operations, the Real Estate Management Operation and the Group Insurance
Operations. Disclosures concerning the financial impact of these
transactions are contained in Note 11 - "Discontinued Operations."
PFG HOLDINGS, INC.
On October 29, 1999, PM Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix,
purchased 100% of PFG Holdings, Inc. 8% cumulative preferred stock
convertible into a 67% interest in common stock for $5 million in cash. In
addition Phoenix has an option to purchase all the outstanding common stock
during year six at a value to 80% of the appraised value of the common stock
at that time. As of the statement date this option had not been executed.
Since the investment represents a majority interest Phoenix has consolidated
this entity for GAAP as if the preferred stock had been converted and
established a minority interest for outside shareholders. The transaction
resulted in goodwill of $3.8 million to be amortized over 10 years.
PFG Holdings was formed to purchase three of The Guarantee Life Companies'
operating subsidiaries: AGL Life Assurance Company, PFG Distribution Company
and Philadelphia Financial Group. These subsidiaries develop, market and
underwrite specialized private placement variable life and annuity products.
AGL Life Assurance Company must maintain at least $10 million of capital and
surplus to satisfy certain regulatory minimum capital requirements. PM
Holdings provided financing at the purchase date of $11 million to PFG
Holdings in order for AGL Life Assurance to meet this minimum requirement.
The debt is an 8.34% senior secured note maturing in 2009.

EMPRENDIMIENTO COMPARTIDO, S.A., (EMCO)
At January 1, 1999 PM Holdings held 9.1 million shares of EMCO, representing
a 35% ownership interest the Argentine financial services company that
provides pension management, annuities and life insurance products. On June
23, 1999, PM Holdings became the majority owner of EMCO when it purchased
13.9 million shares of common stock from the Banco del Suquia, S.A. for
$29.5 million, plus $10.0 million for a five year covenant not-to-compete.
Payment for the stock will be made in three installments: $10.0 million, 180
days from closing; $10.0 million, 360 days from closing; and $9.5 million,
540 days from closing, all subject to interest of 7.06%. The covenant was
paid at the time of closing.
In addition, EMCO purchased, for its treasury, 3.0 million shares of its
outstanding common stock held by two banks. This, in combination with the
purchase described above, increased PM Holdings ownership interest from 35%
to 100% of the then outstanding stock.
On November 12, 1999, PM Holdings sold 11.5 million shares (50% interest) of
EMCO common stock for $40.0 million generating a pre-tax gain of $11.3
million. PM Holdings received $15.0 million in cash plus a $9.0 million
two-year 8% interest bearing note, and a $16.0 million five-year 8% interest
bearing note. PM Holdings uses the equity method of accounting to account
for its remaining 50% interest in EMCO.
After the sale, the remaining excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the acquired net tangible assets totaled $17.0 million. That
consisted of a covenant not-to-compete of $5.0 million which is being
amortized over five years and goodwill of $12.0 million which is being
amortized over ten years.
PHOENIX NEW ENGLAND TRUST
On October 29, 1999, PM Holdings indirectly acquired 100% of the common

with assets under management of approximately $1 billion. Immediately
following this acquisition, on November 1, 1999, PM Holdings sold the New
London Trust's New Hampshire retail banking operations to Lake Sunapee Bank
and Mascoma Savings Bank in New Hampshire and the Connecticut branches to
Westbank Corporation, for a total of $25.2 million in cash. No gain or loss
was recognized on this sale. PM Holdings retained the trust business and
four trust offices of New London Trust, located in New Hampshire and
Vermont.
LOMBARD INTERNATIONAL ASSURANCE, S.A.
On November 5, 1999, PM Holdings purchased 12% of the common stock of
Lombard International Assurance, S.A., a Pan-European financial services

PHOENIX INVESTMENT PARTNERS, LTD.
On March 1, 1999, Phoenix Investment Partners completed its acquisition of
the retail mutual fund and closed-end fund business of the New York City
based Zweig Group. Under the terms of the agreement, Phoenix Investment
Partners paid $135.0 million at closing and will pay up to an additional
$29.0 million over the next three years based on revenue growth of the Zweig
funds. The Zweig Group managed approximately $3.3 billion of assets as of
December 31,1999.

49% interest in Canadian investment firm Beutel, Goodman & Company, Ltd. for
$47.0 million. Phoenix Investment Partners received $37.0 million in cash
and a $10.0 million three-year interest bearing note. The transaction
resulted in a before-tax gain of approximately $17.5 million. Phoenix's
interest represents an after-tax realized gain of approximately $6.8
million.
Phoenix owns approximately 60% of the outstanding Phoenix Investment
Partners' common stock. In addition, Phoenix owns 45% of Phoenix Investment
Partners' convertible subordinated debentures.
ABERDEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC
On February 18, 1999, PM Holdings purchased an additional 15.1 million
shares of the common stock of Aberdeen Asset Management for $29.4 million.
As of December 31, 1999, PM Holdings owned 21% of the outstanding common
stock of Aberdeen Asset Management, a Scottish asset management firm. The
investment is reported on the equity basis and classified as other invested
assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
DIVIDEND SCALE REDUCTION
In consideration of the decline of interest rates in the financial markets,
Phoenix's Board of Directors voted in October of 1998 to adopt a reduced
dividend scale, effective for dividends payable on or after January 1, 1999.
Dividends for individual participating policies were reduced 60 basis points
in most cases, an average reduction of approximately 8%. The effect was a
decrease of approximately $15.7 million in the policyholder dividends
expense in 1998. In October 1999, Phoenix's Board of Directors voted to
maintain the dividend scale for dividends payable on or after January 1,
2000.
REAL ESTATE SALES
On December 15, 1998, Phoenix sold 47 commercial real estate properties with
a carrying value of $269.8 million, and 4 joint venture real estate
partnerships with a carrying value of $10.5 million, for approximately $309
million in cash. This transaction, along with the sale of 18 other
properties and partnerships during 1998, which had a carrying value of $36.7
million, resulted in pre-tax gains of approximately $67.5 million. As of
December 31, 1999, Phoenix had 3 commercial real estate properties remaining
with a carrying value of $42.9 million and 5 joint venture real estate
partnerships with a carrying value of $49.1 million.

The sale of fixed maturities held-to-maturity relate to certain securities,
with amortized cost of $3.9 million, $19.6 million and $59.1 million, for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which were
sold specifically due to a significant decline in the issuers' credit
quality. The related realized losses, net of the sales, were $0.2 million,
$0.8 million and $10.1 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities, by contractual sinking

to interest rate floor, interest rate cap and swaption contracts was $2.3
million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, representing quarterly premium payments on these instruments
which are being paid over the life of the contracts. The estimated fair
value of these instruments represent what Phoenix would have to pay or

the likelihood of collection is doubtful.
The payment terms of mortgage loans may, from time to time, be restructured
or modified. The investment in restructured mortgage loans, based on
amortized cost, amounted to $36.5 million and $40.8 million at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income on restructured mortgage loans
that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of such
loans amounted to $4.1 million, $4.9 million and $5.3 million in 1999, 1998

8. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
Phoenix has a multi-employer, non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all of its employees. Retirement benefits are a
function of both years of service and level of compensation. Phoenix also
sponsors a non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan to provide
benefits in excess of amounts allowed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
Phoenix's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount equal to at
least the minimum required contribution in accordance with minimum funding
standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits
attributable to service to date, but also for service expected to be earned
in the future.
Components of net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31,
were as follows:

In 1999, Phoenix offered a special retirement program under which qualified
participants' benefits under the employee pension plan were enhanced by
adding five years to age and five years to pension plan service. Of the 320
eligible employees, 146 accepted the special retirement program. As a result
of the special retirement program, Phoenix recorded an additional pension
expense of $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the non-qualified plan was not funded and had
projected benefit obligations of $72.3 million and $57.2 million,
respectively. The accumulated benefit obligations as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 related to this plan were $60.1 million and $48.4 million,
respectively, and are included in other liabilities.
Phoenix recorded, as a reduction of equity, an additional minimum pension
liability of $7.7 million and $6.2 million, net of income taxes, at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing the excess of accumulated
benefit obligations over the fair value of plan assets and accrued pension
liabilities for the non-qualified plan. Phoenix has also recorded an
intangible asset of $11.7 million and $16.2 million as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 related to the non-qualified plan.

The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation was 7.5% and 7.0% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The discount rate assumption for 1999 was determined based on
a study that matched available high quality investment securities with the
expected timing of pension liability payments. The rate of increase in
future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value
of the projected benefit obligation was 4.5% and 4.0% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on retirement plan
assets was 8.0% in 1999 and 1998.
The assets within the pension plan include corporate and government debt
securities, equity securities, real estate, venture capital partnerships,
and shares of mutual funds.
Phoenix also sponsors savings plans for its employees and agents that are
qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). Employees and agents
may contribute a portion of their annual salary, subject to certain
limitations, to the plans. Phoenix contributes an additional amount, subject
to limitation, based on the voluntary contribution of the employee or agent.
Company contributions charged to expense with respect to these plans during
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $4.0 million, $4.1
million and $3.8 million, respectively.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
In addition to Phoenix's pension plans, Phoenix currently provides certain
health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees, spouses and
other eligible dependents through various plans sponsored by Phoenix. A
substantial portion of Phoenix's employees may become eligible for these
benefits upon retirement. The health care plans have varying copayments and
deductibles, depending on the plan. These plans are unfunded.
Phoenix recognizes the costs and obligations of postretirement benefits
other than pensions over the employees' service period ending with the date
an employee is fully eligible to receive benefits.
The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year
ended December 31, were as follows:

================ ================
</TABLE>
The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.5% and 7.0% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
For purposes of measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
the health care costs were assumed to increase 7.5% and 8.5% in 1999 and
1998, respectively, declining thereafter until the ultimate rate of 5.5% is
reached in 2002 and remains at that level thereafter.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend
rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by $4.3 million and the annual service and
interest cost by $0.6 million, before income taxes. Decreasing the assumed
health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would
decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $4.1 million
and the annual service and interest cost by $0.5 million, before income
taxes. Gains and losses that occur because actual experience differs from
the estimates are amortized over the average future service period of
employees.
OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Phoenix recognizes the costs and obligations of severance, disability and
related life insurance and health care benefits to be paid to inactive or
former employees after employment but before retirement. Other
postemployment benefit expenses were $0.5 million for 1999, ($0.5) million
for 1998 and $0.4 million for 1997.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Phoenix offers a wide range of financial products and services. These
businesses have been grouped into three reportable segments.
The Individual segment includes the individual life insurance and annuity
products including participating whole life, universal life, variable life,
term life and variable annuities.
The Investment Management segment includes retail and institutional mutual
fund management and distribution including open-end funds, closed-end funds
and wrap accounts.
Corporate and Other contains several smaller subsidiaries and investment
activities which do not meet the thresholds of reportable segments as
defined in SFAS No. 131. They include venture capital investments,
international operations, trust operations and other investments.
The majority of Phoenix's revenue is derived in the United States. Revenue
derived from outside the United States is not material and revenue derived
from any single customer does not exceed ten percent of total consolidated
revenues.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Phoenix evaluates the
performance of each operating segment based on profit or loss from
operations before income taxes and nonrecurring items. Phoenix does not
include certain nonrecurring items to the segments. They are reported as
unallocated items and include expenses associated with various lawsuits and
legal disputes, postretirement medical expenses associated with an early
retirement program and realized gains associated with the sales of
subsidiaries. See Note 8 - " Pension and Other Postretirement and
Postemployment Benefit Plans."
Included in the following tables is certain information with respect to
Phoenix's operating segments as of and for each of the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, as well as amounts not allocated to the segments
which was described previously.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four of its business
units which in prior years had been reflected as reportable business
segments: the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and Casualty Brokerage
Operations, the Real Estate Management Operation and the Group Insurance
Operations. The discontinuation of these business units resulted from the
sale of several operations, a signed agreement to sell one of the operations
and the implementation of plans to withdraw from the remaining businesses.
REINSURANCE OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix completed a comprehensive strategic review of its life
reinsurance segment and decided to exit these operations through a
combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain components into
run-off. Accordingly, Phoenix estimated sales proceeds, reinsurance premiums
and net claims run-off, resulting in the recognition of a $173 million
pre-tax loss ($113 million after-tax loss) on the disposal of life
reinsurance discontinued operations. The life reinsurance segment consisted
primarily of individual life reinsurance operations as well as group
personal accident and group health reinsurance business. The significant
components of the loss on the disposal of life reinsurance discontinued
operations in 1999 were as follows:
On August 1, 1999, Phoenix sold its individual life reinsurance operations
and certain group health reinsurance business to Employers Reinsurance
Corporation for $130 million. The transaction was structured as a
reinsurance and asset sale transaction, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $113
million. The pre-tax income from operations for the seven months prior to
disposal was $19 million.
On June 30, 1999, PM Holdings sold 100% of the common stock of Financial
Administrative Services, Inc. (FAS), its third-party administration
subsidiary, to CYBERTEK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Policy Management
Systems Corporation. Proceeds from the sale were $8.0 million for the common
stock plus $1.0 million for a covenant not-to-compete, resulting in an
after-tax gain of $2.0 million.
Phoenix retained ownership of the preferred stock of FAS, which under the
terms of the agreement, CYBERTEK will purchase in six equal annual
installments commencing March 31, 2001 through March 31, 2006. The purchase
price will be determined annually based upon earnings, but in total, will
range from a minimum of $4.0 million to a maximum of $16.0 million.
During 1999, Phoenix placed the remaining group personal accident and group
health reinsurance operations into run-off. Management has adopted a formal
plan to terminate the related treaties as early as contractually permitted
and is not entering into any new contracts. Based upon the most recent
information available, Phoenix reviewed the run-off block and estimated the
amount and timing of future net premiums, claims and expenses. Consequently,
Phoenix increased reserve estimates on the run-off block by $180 million. In
addition, as part of the exit strategy, Phoenix purchased finite aggregate
excess of loss reinsurance to further protect Phoenix from unfavorable
results in the run-off block. The finite reinsurance is subject to an
aggregate retention of $100 million on the run-off block. Phoenix may
commute the agreement at any time after September 30, 2004, subject to
automatic commutation effective September 30, 2019. Phoenix paid an initial
premium of $130 million.
The additional estimated reserves and finite reinsurance coverage are
expected to cover the run-off of the business; however, the nature of the
underlying risks is such that the claims may take years to reach the
reinsurers involved. Therefore, Phoenix expects to pay claims out of
existing estimated reserves over a number of years as the level of business
diminishes.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, certain group personal accident reinsurance business has
become the subject of disputes concerning the placement of the business with
reinsurers and the recovery of the reinsurance. This business primarily
concerns certain occupational accident reinsurance "facilities" and a
reinsurance pool (the Unicover Pool) underwritten and managed by Unicover
Managers, Inc. (Unicover). Phoenix participated as a reinsurer in the
Unicover Pool. The Unicover Pool and "facilities" were reinsured in large
part by a reinsurance facility underwritten and managed by Centaur
Underwriting Limited (Centaur) in which Phoenix also participated. Phoenix
terminated its participation in the Centaur facility effective October 1,
1998 and in the Unicover Pool effective March 1, 1999. However, claims
arising from business underwritten while Phoenix was a participant continue
to run off. On September 21, 1999, Phoenix initiated arbitration proceedings
seeking to rescind certain contracts arising from its participation in the
Centaur facility with respect to reinsurance of the Unicover business. In
January 2000, Phoenix settled two Unicover-related matters (see Note 21 -
"Subsequent Events"). A substantial portion of the risk associated with the
Unicover Pool and "facilities" and the Centaur program was further
retroceded by Phoenix to other unaffiliated insurance entities, providing
Phoenix with significant security. Certain of these retrocessionaires have
given notice that they challenge their obligations under their contracts and
are in arbitration or litigation with Phoenix.
Additionally, certain group personal accident excess of loss reinsurance
contracts created in the London market during 1994 - 1997 have become the
subject of disputes concerning the placement of the business with reinsurers
and the recovery of reinsurance. Several arbitration proceedings are
currently pending.
Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute
resolution proceedings, and the expected long term development of net claims
payments, the estimated amount of the loss on disposal of life reinsurance
discontinued operations may differ from actual results. However, it is
management's opinion, after consideration of the provisions made in these
financial statements, as described above, that future developments will not
have a material effect on Phoenix's consolidated financial position.
PROPERTY AND CASUALTY BROKERAGE OPERATIONS
On July 1, 1999, PM Holdings sold its property and casualty brokerage
business to Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton Company (HRH) for $48.1 million
including $0.2 million for a covenant not-to-compete. Total proceeds
consisted of $32.0 million in convertible debentures, $15.9 million for
865,042 shares of HRH common stock, valued at $18.38 per share on the sale
date, and $0.2 million in cash. The pre-tax gain realized on the sale was
$40.1 million. The HRH common stock is classified as common stock and the
convertible debentures are classified as bonds in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. As of December 31, 1999 Phoenix owns 7% of the outstanding HRH common
stock, 15% on a diluted basis.
REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
On March 31, 1999, Phoenix sold its real estate management subsidiary,
Phoenix Realty Advisors, to Henderson Investors International Holdings, B.V.
for $7.9 million in cash. The pre-tax gain realized on this transaction was
$7.1 million.

GROUP INSURANCE OPERATIONS
On December 9, 1999, Phoenix signed a definitive agreement to sell its Group
Life and Health business, including five companies, Phoenix American Life,
Phoenix Dental Services, Phoenix Group Services, California Benefits and
Clinical Disability Management, to GE Financial Assurance Holdings, Inc.
Proceeds from the sale are estimated to be $285 million, including cash of
$240 million and 3.1% of the common stock of GE Life and Annuity Assurance
Company. Phoenix expects the transaction to be completed in the second
quarter of 2000, subject to regulatory approval.
The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been excluded
from the assets and liabilities of continuing operations and separately
identified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Net assets of the discontinued
operations totaled $187.6 million and $283.8 million as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Asset and liability balances of the continuing
operation as of December 31, 1998, have been restated to conform with the
current year presentation. Likewise, the Consolidated Statement of Income,
Comprehensive Income and Equity has been restated for 1998 and 1997 to
exclude the operating results of discontinued operations from continuing
operations. The operating results of discontinued operations and the gain or
loss on disposal are presented below.

12. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, consisting primarily of
office buildings occupied by Phoenix, are stated at depreciated cost. Real
estate occupied by Phoenix was $101.7 million and $106.7 million at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Phoenix provides for depreciation using
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets which generally range from five to forty years. Accumulated
depreciation and amortization was $182.3 million and $161.2 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Rental expenses for operating leases, principally with respect to buildings,
amounted to $16.3 million, $16.9 million and $16.9 million in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively, for continuing operations. Future minimum rental
payments under non-cancelable operating leases for continuing operations
were approximately $40.2 million as of December 31, 1999, payable as
follows: 2000 - $13.5 million; 2001 - $10.5 million; 2002 - $7.3 million;
2003 - $5.1 million; 2004 - $2.8 million; and $1.0 million thereafter.
13. DIRECT BUSINESS WRITTEN AND REINSURANCE
As is customary practice in the insurance industry, Phoenix assumes and
cedes reinsurance as a means of diversifying underwriting risk. For direct
issues, the maximum of individual life insurance retained by Phoenix on any
one life is $8 million for single life and joint first-to-die policies and
to $10 million for joint last-to-die policies, with excess amounts ceded to
reinsurers. Phoenix reinsures 80% of the mortality risk on the inforce block
of the Confederation Life business acquired on December 31, 1997, and 90% of
the mortality risk on certain new issues of term and universal life
products. In addition, Phoenix entered into a separate reinsurance agreement
on October 1, 1998 to reinsure 80% of the mortality risk on a substantial
portion of its otherwise retained individual life insurance business. In
1999, Phoenix reinsured the mortality risk on the remaining 20% of this
business. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner
consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy.

adjustment due to worse than expected persistency in one of the variable
annuity product lines and a $6.9 million adjustment to traditional life due
to an adjustment to death claims used in determining DAC amortization.
16. MINORITY INTEREST
Phoenix's interests in Phoenix Investment Partners and PFG Holdings, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary PM Holdings, are represented by ownership of
approximately 60% and 67%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common
stock at December 31, 1999. Earnings and equity attributable to minority
shareholders are included in minority interest in the consolidated financial
statements.
17. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Other than debt securities being held-to-maturity, financial instruments
that are subject to fair value disclosure requirements (insurance contracts
are excluded) are carried in the consolidated financial statements at
amounts that approximate fair value. The fair values presented for certain
financial instruments are estimates which, in many cases, may differ
significantly from the amounts which could be realized upon immediate
liquidation. In cases where market prices are not available, estimates of
fair value are based on discounted cash flow analysis which utilize current
interest rates for similar financial instruments which have comparable terms
and credit quality.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For these short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair
value.
B-94
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEBT SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available, or quoted
market prices of comparable instruments. Fair values of private placement
debt securities are estimated using discounted cash flows that apply
interest rates currently being offered with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Phoenix's derivative instruments include interest rate swap, cap and floor
agreements, swaptions and foreign currency swap agreements. Fair values for
these contracts are based on current settlement values. These values are
based on brokerage quotes that utilize pricing models or formulas based upon
current assumptions for the respective agreements.
EQUITY SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted
market price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent
pricing sources or internally developed pricing models.
MORTGAGE LOANS
Fair values are calculated as the present value of scheduled payments, with
the discount based upon the Treasury rate comparable for the remaining loan
duration, plus a spread of between 130 and 800 basis points, depending on
the internal quality rating of the loan. For loans in foreclosure or
default, values were determined assuming principal recovery was the lower of
the loan balance or the estimated value of the underlying property.
POLICY LOANS
Fair values are estimated as the present value of loan interest and policy
loan repayments discounted at the ten year Treasury rate. Loan repayments
were assumed only to occur as a result of anticipated policy lapses, and it
was assumed that annual policy loan interest payments were made at the
guaranteed loan rate less 17.5 basis points. Discounting was at the ten year
Treasury rate, except for policy loans with a variable policy loan rate.
Variable policy loans have an interest rate that is reset annually based
upon market rates and therefore, book value is a reasonable approximation of
fair value.
INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
In determining the fair value of guaranteed interest contracts, a discount
rate equal to the appropriate Treasury rate, plus 150 basis points, was
assumed to determine the present value of projected contractual liability
payments through final maturity.
The fair value of deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without
life contingencies with an interest guarantee of one year or less is valued
at the amount of the policy reserve. In determining the fair value of
deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without life contingencies
with interest guarantees greater than one year, a discount rate equal to the
appropriate Treasury rate, plus 150 basis points, was used to determine the
present value of the projected account value of the policy at the end of the
current guarantee period.
Deposit type funds, including pension deposit administration contracts,
dividend accumulations, and other funds left on deposit not involving life
contingencies, have interest guarantees of less than one year for which
interest credited is closely tied to rates earned on owned assets. For such
liabilities, fair value is assumed to be equal to the stated liability
balances.

18. CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
Certain group personal accident reinsurance business has become the subject
of disputes concerning the placement of the business with reinsurers and the
recovery of the reinsurance (see Note 11 - "Discontinued Operations" and
Note 21 - "Subsequent Events").
19. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state
regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or
permitted by such authorities. Except for the accounting policy involving
federal income taxes described next, there were no material practices not
prescribed by the State of New York Insurance Department (the Insurance
Department), as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Phoenix's statutory
federal income tax liability is principally based on estimates of federal
income tax due. A deferred income tax liability has also been established
for estimated taxes on unrealized gains for common stock and venture capital
equity partnerships. Current New York law does not allow the recording of
deferred income taxes. Phoenix has received approval from the Insurance
Department for this practice.

Statutory surplus differs from equity reported
in accordance with GAAP for life insurance companies primarily because
policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, investment reserves are
based on different assumptions, surplus notes are not included in equity,
postretirement benefit costs are based on different assumptions and reflect
a different method of adoption, life insurance reserves are based on
different assumptions and income tax expense reflects only taxes paid or
currently payable.
The following reconciles the statutory net income of Phoenix as reported to
regulatory authorities to the net income as reported in these financial

The Insurance Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices for
determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations
of an insurance company, for determining its solvency under New York
Insurance Law, and for determining whether its financial condition warrants
the payment of a dividend to its policyholders. No consideration is given by
the Insurance Department to financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in making such determinations.

20. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
In 1999, Phoenix revised the accounting for venture capital partnerships to
include unrealized capital gains and losses on investments held in the
partnerships. These gains and losses are recorded in investment income.
Opening retained earnings at December 31, 1996 has been increased by $17.6
million. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 was revised
by increasing the following balances: other invested assets by $50.6
million, deferred income taxes by $17.7 million and retained earnings by
$32.9 million. The effect on the Consolidated Statement of Income,
Comprehensive Income and Equity was an increase in net income of $12.4
million and $2.9 million for the years ended 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In 1998, Phoenix revised the accounting for partnerships involved in
leveraged lease arrangements for 1997 and 1996. Opening retained earnings at
December 31, 1995 has been increased by $7.7 million. The Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1997 was revised by increasing the
following balances: other invested assets by $18.9 million, deferred income
taxes by $6.6 million and retained earnings by $12.3 million. The effect on
the Consolidated Statement of Income, Comprehensive Income and Equity was an
increase in net income of $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the years ended
1997 and 1996, respectively.
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENT REINSURANCE
On January 21, 2000, Phoenix, in connection with its participation in the
Centaur facility, and two other companies completed a settlement agreement
with Reliance Insurance Company (Reliance) with respect to certain
reinsurance contracts covering occupational accident business reinsured by
Reliance as a Unicover-managed "facility." The Reliance business was the
largest portion of occupational accident reinsurance business underwritten
by Unicover. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Phoenix ended the
contracts for a total payment of $115.0 million.
On January 13, 2000, Phoenix and four other companies, in connection with
their participation in the Unicover Pool, completed a settlement agreement
with EBI Indemnity Company and other affiliates of the Orion Group (EBI)
with respect to certain reinsurance contracts covering occupational accident
business which EBI ceded to the Unicover Pool. These contracts represented
the largest source of premium to the Unicover Pool. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the Unicover Pool members ended the contracts for a
total payment of $43.0 million, of which Phoenix's share was approximately
$10.0 million.
Phoenix included the cost of these settlements, net of reinsurance, in its
estimate of the loss on discontinued life reinsurance operations. See Note
11 - "Discontinued Operations."

CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount. We summarize the
following information in the prospectus under the heading "Performance History."
We calculate the yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount for a
7-day "base period" by determining the "net change in value" of a hypothetical
pre-existing account. We assume the hypothetical account had an initial balance
of one share at the beginning of the base period. We then determine what the
value of the hypothetical account would have been at the end of the 7-day base
period. The end value minus the initial value gives us the net change in value
for the hypothetical account. The net change in value can then be divided by the
initial value giving us the base period return (one week's return). To find the
equivalent annual return we multiply the base period return by 365/7. The
equivalent effective annual yield differs from the annual return because we
assume all returns are reinvested in the subaccount. We carry results to the
nearest hundredth of one percent.
The net change in value of the hypothetical account includes the daily net
investment income of the account (after expenses), but does not include realized
gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying
fund shares.
The yield/return calculations include a mortality and expense risk charge
equal to 1.25% on an annual basis, and a daily administrative fee equal to
0.125% on an annual basis.
The Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount return and effective yield will
vary in response to fluctuations in interest rates and in the expenses of the
subaccount.
We do not include the maximum annual administrative fee in calculating the
current return and effective yield. Should such a fee apply to your account,
current return and/or effective yield for your account could be reduced.
Example Calculation:
The following example of a return/yield calculation for the Phoenix-Goodwin
Money Market Subaccount was based on the 7-day period ending December 31, 1999:
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with
exactly one Unit at the beginning of the period:.......... 1.478155
Value of the same account (excluding capital changes) at
the end of the 7-day period:.............................. 1.479245
Calculation:
Ending account value...................................... 1.479245
Less beginning account value.............................. 1.478155
Net change in account value............................... 0.00090
Base period return:
(adjusted change/beginning account value)................. 0.000737
Current yield = return x (365/7) =........................... 3.85%
Effective yield = [(1 + return)(365/7)] -1 =................. 3.92%
Yields and total returns may be higher or lower than in the past and there
is no assurance that any historical results will continue.
Calculation of Total Return. We summarize the following information in the
prospectus under the heading, "Performance History." Total return measures the
change in value of a subaccount investment over a stated period. We compute
total returns by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the
1-, 5- and 10-year periods that would equate the initial amount invested to the
ending redeemable value according to a formula. The formula for total return
includes the following steps:
(1) We assume a hypothetical $1,000 initial investment in the subaccount;
(2) We determine the value the hypothetical initial investment would have were
it redeemed at the end of each period. All recurring fees and any applicable
contingent deferred sales charge are deducted. This figure is the ending
redeemable value (ERV in the formula given below);
(3) We divide this value by the initial $1,000 investment, resulting in ratio of
the ending redeemable value to the initial value for that period;
(4) To get the average annual total return we take the nth root of the ratio
from step (3), where n equals the number of years in that period (e.g. 1, 5,
10), and subtract one.
The formula in mathematical terms is:
R = ((ERV / II)(1/n)) - 1
Where:
II = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
R = average annual total return for the period
n = number of years in the period
ERV = ending redeemable value of the hypothetical
$1,000 for the period [see (2) and (3) above]
B-2
<PAGE>
We normally calculate total return for 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods
for each subaccount. If a subaccount has not been available for at least 10
years, we will provide total returns for other relevant periods.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Advertisements, sale literature and other communications may contain
information about series' or advisor's current investment strategies and
management style. An advisor may alter investment strategies and style in
response to changing market and economic conditions. A fund may wish to make
known a series' specific portfolio holdings or holdings in specific industries.
A fund may also separately illustrate the income and capital gain portions of a
series' total return. Performance might also be advertised by breaking down
returns into equity and debt components. A series may compare its equity or bond
return figure to any of a number of well-known benchmarks of market performance,
including, but not limited to:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average(SM)(1)
First Boston High Yield Index
Salomon Brothers Corporate Index
Salomon Brothers Government Bond Index
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500)(2)
Each subaccount may include its yield and total return in advertisements or
communications with current or prospective contract owners. Each subaccount may
also include in such advertisements, its ranking or comparison to similar mutual
funds by such organizations as:
Lipper Analytical Services
Morningstar, Inc.
Thomson Financial
A fund may also compare a series' performance to other investment or savings
vehicles (such as certificates of deposit) and may refer to results published in
such publications as:
Barrons
Business Week
Changing Times
Forbes
Fortune
Consumer Reports
Investor's Business Daily
Financial Planning
Financial Services Weekly
Financial World
Money
The New York Times
Personal Investor
Registered Representative
Stanger's Investment Adviser
The Stanger Register
U.S. News and World Report
The Wall Street Journal
A fund may also illustrate the benefits of tax deferral by comparing taxable
investments with investments through tax-deferred retirement plans.
The total return and yield may be used to compare the performance of the
subaccounts with certain commonly used standards for stock and bond market
performance. Such indexes include, but are not limited to:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average(SM)(1)
First Boston High Yield Index
Salomon Brothers Corporate Index
Salomon Brothers Government Bond Index
The S&P 500(2)
CALCULATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See your prospectus in the section titled "The Annuity Period" for a
description of the annuity options and restrictions.
You may elect a payment option by written request as described in your
prospectus. If you do not elect an option, amounts held under the contract will
be applied to provide a Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-year period
certain (Option I) on the maturity date. You may not change your election after
the first annuity payment.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Fixed annuity payments are determined by the total dollar value for all
subaccounts' accumulation units and all amounts held in the GIA. For each
contract the resulting dollar value is then multiplied by the applicable annuity
purchase rate, which reflects the age (and sex for nontax-qualified plans) of
the annuitant or annuitants, for the fixed payment annuity option selected. The
guaranteed annuity payment rates will be no less favorable than the following:
Under Options A, B, D, E and F rates are based on the a-49 Annuity Table(4)
projected to 1985 with Projection Scale B. We use an interest rate of 3-3/8% for
5- and 10-year certain periods under Option A, for the 10-year certain period
under Option F, and for Option E; an interest rate of 3-1/4% for the 20-year
certain period under Options A and F; an interest rate of 3-1/2% under Options B
and D. Under Options G and H the guaranteed interest rate is 3%.
It is possible that we may have more favorable (i.e. higher-paying) rates in
effect on the settlement date.
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Under all variable options the first payment is based on an assumed annual
investment rate of 4-1/2%. Should the assumed rate result in a first payment
larger than permitted by state law, we will select a lower rate. All subsequent
payments may be higher or lower depending on investment experience of the
subaccounts.
Under Options I, J and K, we determine the first payment by multiplying the
amounts held under the selected option in each subaccount by the applicable
payment option rate, which reflects the age (and sex for nontax-qualified plans)
of the annuitant or annuitants. The first payment equals the total of such
amounts determined for each subaccount. We determine future payments under these
options by multiplying the
B-3
<PAGE>
contract value in each subaccount (Number of Annuity Units times the Annuity
Unit Value) by the applicable payment option's rate on the payment calculation
date. The payment will equal the sum of the amounts provided by each subaccount
investment.
Under Options I and J, the applicable options rate used to determine the
first payment amount will not be less than the rate based on the 1983 Table A
(1983 IAM)(4) projected with Projection Scale G to the year 2040, and with
continued projection thereafter, and on the assumed investment rate. Under
Option K, the rate will be based on the number of payments to be made during the
specified period and the assumed investment rate.
We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily
administrative fee from contract values held in the subaccounts. See your
prospectus in the section titled "Deductions and Charges." Electing Option K
will result in a mortality risk deduction being made even though we assume no
mortality risk under that option.

The financial statements of Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account
as of December 31, 1999 and for the year then ended and the consolidated
financial statements of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 included herein have been so included in reliance on the
respective reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given
on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose address is 100 Pearl Street, Hartford,
Connecticut 06103, also provides other accounting and tax-related services as
requested by Phoenix from time to time.
Edwin L. Kerr, Counsel, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, has
provided advice on certain matters relating to the federal securities and income
tax laws in connection with the contracts described in this prospectus.
1 The Dow Jones Industrial Average(SM) (DJIA(SM)) is an unweighted(3) index of
30 industrial "blue chip" U.S. stocks. It is the oldest continuing U.S.
market index. The 30 stocks now in the DJIA(SM) are both widely-held and a
major influence in their respective industries. The average is computed in
such a way as to preserve its historical continuity and account for such
factors as stock splits and periodic changes in the components of the index.
The editors of The Wall Street Journal select the component stocks of the
DJIA(SM).
2 The S&P 500 is a market-value weighted(3) index composed of 500 stocks chosen
for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is one of
the most widely used indicators of U.S. Stock Market performance. As of
December 31, 1999 it contained 376 industrial, 41 utility, 72 financial and
11 transportation issues. The composition of the S&P 500 changes from time to
time. Standard & Poor's Index Committee makes all decisions about the S&P
500.
3 Weighted and unweighted indexes: A market-value, or capitalization, weighted
index uses relative market value (share price multiplied by the number of
shares outstanding) to "weight" the influence of a stock's price on the
index. Simply put, larger companies' stock prices influence the index more
than smaller companies' stock prices. An unweighted index (such as the Dow
Jones Industrial Average(SM)) uses stock price alone to determine the index
value. A company's relative size has no bearing on its impact on the index.
4 The Society of Actuaries developed these tables to provide payment rates for
annuities based on a set of mortality tables acceptable to most regulating
authorities.

PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account (the "Account") is a separate
investment account of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company registered as a
unit investment trust. The Account currently has six Subaccounts to which
Templeton Investment Plus contract values may be allocated and include the
Templeton Stock, Templeton International, Templeton Developing Markets,
Templeton Asset Allocation, Templeton Bond and Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market
which invest solely in designated portfolios of the Templeton Variable Products
Series Fund and the Phoenix Edge Series Fund (the Funds). Each series of the
Fund have distinct investment objectives. Templeton Stock Fund is a capital
growth common stock fund; the Templeton International Fund invests in stocks and
debt obligations of companies and governments outside the United States; the
Templeton Developing Markets Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing in equity securities of issuers in countries having developing
markets; the Templeton Asset Allocation Fund invests in stocks and debt
obligations of companies and governments and money market instruments seeking
high total return; the Templeton Bond Fund seeks high current income through
investing in debt securities, rated and unrated, in any category of companies,
government and government agencies, and in debt securities which are convertible
into common stock of such companies; and the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Series
Fund seeks current income, stability of principal and liquidity by investing in
high quality money market instruments.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS:
Investments are made exclusively in the Funds and are valued at the net asset
value per share of the Series.
B. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses include capital gain distributions from the Funds as well as gains and
losses on sales of shares in the Funds determined on the LIFO (last in, first
out) basis. Dividends from the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
C. INCOME TAXES:
D. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.
The Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix and under current federal
income tax law, income arising from the Account is not taxed since reserves are
established equivalent to such income. Therefore, no provision for related
federal or state income taxes is required.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Phoenix provides all administrative services to the Account.
Phoenix assumes the risk that annuitants as a class may live longer than
expected and that its expenses may be higher than its deductions for such
expenses. In return for the assumption of these mortality and expense risks,
Phoenix charges each subaccount the daily equivalent of 0.40% on an annual basis
of the current value of the subaccount's net assets for the mortality risks
assumed and the daily equivalent of .085% on an annual basis for the expense
risks assumed.
The fees charged for mortality and expense risks assumed by Phoenix for the
Templeton Stock, the Templeton International, the Templeton Developing Markets,
the Templeton Asset Allocation, the Templeton Bond and the Phoenix-Goodwin Money
Market Subaccounts aggregated $2,671,247, $1,060,755, $37,175, $1,425,256,
$142,215 and $184,466 respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1999.
As compensation for administrative services provided to the Account, Phoenix
additionally receives $35 per year from each annuity contract prior to the
contract's date of maturity. This cost-based charge is deducted from the
Subaccount holding the assets of the participant or on a pro-rata basis from two
or more Sub-accounts in relation to their values under the contract. Upon a full
surrender of a contract, the entire annual administrative charge of $35 is
deducted regardless of when the surrender occurs. Phoenix received $383,477 for
administrative services provided for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Phoenix also charges each Subaccount the daily equivalent of 0.125% on an annual
basis of the current value of the Subaccount's net assets to cover its variable
costs of administration, such as printing and distribution of participant
mailings. The variable costs of administrative services provided by Phoenix for
the Templeton Stock, Templeton International, Templeton Developing Markets,
Templeton Asset Allocation, Templeton Bond and Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market
Subaccounts aggregated $267,418, $106,193, $3,722, $142,682, $14,237 and $18,466
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Franklin Templeton Funds Distributors, Inc. is the principal underwriter and
distributor for the Templeton subaccounts of the Account. Phoenix Equity
Planning Corporation ("PEPCO") is the principal underwriter and W.S. Griffith
and Company, Inc ("WSG") is the distributor for the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market
Subaccount. Phoenix reimburses Franklin Templeton Funds Distributors , Inc and
PEPCO for expenses incurred as underwriter. On surrender of a contract,
surrender charges, which vary from 0-6% depending upon the duration of each
contract deposit, are deducted from the proceeds and are paid to Phoenix as
reimbursement for services provided. The surrender charges deducted and paid to
Phoenix were $961,505 for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Templeton Investment Counsel, Inc. (TICI) serves as investment manager of the
Templeton Stock, International, and Asset Allocation Funds; Templeton Global
Bond Manager, a division of TICI, serves as investment manager of the Templeton
Bond ; Templeton Asset Management Ltd., an independent wholly owned subsidiary
of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Franklin"), serves as investment manager of the
Templeton Developing Markets Fund; and Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc. ("PIC")
is the investment advisor to the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Series. The
investment managers furnish the Funds with investment research and advice and
supervise the investment programs for the Funds in accordance with each Series'
investment objective, policies and restrictions. Templeton Stock, International,
Asset Allocation and Bond Funds each pay a monthly investment management fee,
equal on an annual basis, to 0.50% of the average daily net assets up to $200
million, 0.45% of such net assets from $200 million up to $1.3 billion and 0.40%
of such net assets in excess of $1.3 billion. Templeton Developing Markets Fund
pays a monthly investment management fee equal on an annual basis to 1.25% of
its daily net assets. Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Series pays a monthly
investment management fee equal on annual basis to 0.40% of its
B-19

PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
average daily net assets up to $250 million, 0.35% of such net assets from $250
million up to $500 million and 0.30% of such net assets in excess of $500
million.
Each Fund pays the business manager, Templeton Fund Annuity Company (TFAC), a
monthly fee equivalent on annual basis to 0.15% of the combined average daily
net assets of the Funds, reduced to 0.135% of such assets in excess of $200
million, 0.10% of such assets in excess of $700 million, and 0.075% of such
assets in excess of $1.2 billion. TFAC provides certain administrative
facilities and services for the Funds.
5. DISTRIBUTION OF NET INCOME
The Account does not expect to declare dividends to participants from
accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is distributed to
participants as part of withdrawals of amounts in the form of surrenders, death
benefits, transfers or annuity payments in excess of net purchase payments.
6. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code),
a variable annuity contract, other than a contract issued in connection with
certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as an annuity
contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of
the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately
diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may
be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test
or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
of Treasury.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the
Code. Phoenix believes that the Account satisfies the current requirements of
the regulations, and it intends that the Account will continue to meet such
requirements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (Phoenix)
market a wide range of insurance and investment products and services
including individual participating life insurance, term, universal and
variable life insurance, annuities, and investment advisory and mutual fund
distribution services. These products and services are distributed among
three reportable segments: Individual, Investment Management and Corporate &
Other. See Note 10 - "Segment Information."
Additionally, in 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four
of its business units: the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and
Casualty Brokerage Operations, the Real Estate Management
Operations and the Group Insurance Operations. See Note 11 -
"Discontinued Operations."
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phoenix and
significant subsidiaries. Less than majority-owned entities in which Phoenix
has significant influence over operating and financial policies, and
generally at least a 20% ownership interest, are reported on the equity
basis.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates used in determining insurance and contractholder liabilities,
related reinsurance recoverables, income taxes, contingencies and valuation
allowances for investment assets are discussed throughout the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Amounts for 1998 and 1997 have been
retroactively restated to account for income from venture capital
partnership investments and leveraged lease investments. See Note 20 -
"Prior Period Adjustments" for venture capital investment and leveraged
lease investment information. Certain reclassifications have been made to
the 1998 and 1997 amounts to conform with the 1999 presentation.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investments in debt securities include bonds, mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities. Phoenix classifies its debt securities as either
held-to-maturity or available-for-sale investments. Debt securities
held-to-maturity consist of private placement bonds reported at amortized
cost, net of impairments, that management intends and has the ability to
hold until maturity. Debt securities available-for-sale are reported at fair
value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity and consist of
public bonds and preferred stocks that management may not hold until
maturity. Debt securities are considered impaired when a decline in value is
considered to be other than temporary.
B-28
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the mortgage-backed and asset-backed bond portion of the debt security
portfolio, Phoenix 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 and any resulting adjustment is
included in net investment income.
Equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at
fair value, based principally on their quoted market prices, with unrealized
gains or losses included in equity. Equity securities are considered
impaired when a decline in value is considered to be other than temporary.
Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net
of valuation reserves on impaired mortgages. A mortgage loan is considered
to be impaired if management believes it is probable that Phoenix will be
unable to collect all amounts of contractual interest and principal as
scheduled in the loan agreement. An impaired mortgage loan's fair value is
measured based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the
loan's observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral. If
the fair value of a mortgage loan is less than the recorded investment in
the loan, the difference is recorded as a valuation reserve.
Real estate, all of which is held for sale, is carried at the lower of cost
or current fair value less costs to sell. Fair value for real estate is
determined taking into consideration one or more of the following factors:
property valuation techniques utilizing discounted cash flows at the time of
stabilization including capital expenditures and stabilization costs; sales
of comparable properties; geographic location of the property and related
market conditions; and disposition costs.
Policy loans are generally carried at their unpaid principal balances and
are collateralized by the cash values of the related policies.
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.
Venture capital partnership and other partnership interests are carried at
cost adjusted for Phoenix's equity in undistributed earnings or losses since
acquisition, less allowances for other than temporary declines in value.
These earnings or losses are included in investment income. Venture capital
partnerships generally account for the underlying investments held in the
partnerships at fair value. These investments can include public and private
common and preferred stock, notes, warrants and other investments.
Investments that are publicly traded are generally valued at closing market
prices. Investments that are not publicly traded, which are usually subject
to restrictions on resale, are generally valued at cost or at estimated fair
value, as determined in good faith by the general partner after giving
consideration to operating results, financial conditions, recent sales
prices of issuers' securities and other pertinent information. Some general
partners will discount the fair value of private investments held to reflect
these restrictions. These valuations subject the earnings to volatility.
Beginning in 1999, Phoenix includes equity in undistributed unrealized
capital gains and losses on investments held in the venture capital
partnerships in net investment income. Prior to 1999, these amounts were not
recorded. Prior years have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 20
- "Prior Period Adjustments" for additional information on venture capital
partnership investments.
B-29

PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other invested assets include leveraged lease investments. These investments
represent the net of the estimated residual value of the lease assets,
rental receivables, and unearned and deferred income to be allocated over
the lease term. Investment income is calculated using the interest method
and is recognized only in periods in which the net investment is positive.
Realized investment gains and losses, other than those related to separate
accounts for which Phoenix does not bear the investment risk, are determined
by the specific identification method and reported as a component of
revenue. A realized investment loss is recorded when an investment valuation
reserve is determined. Valuation reserves are netted against the asset
categories to which they apply and changes in the valuation reserves are
included in realized investment gains and losses. Unrealized investment
gains and losses on debt securities and equity securities classified as
available-for-sale are included as a component of equity, net of deferred
income taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, Phoenix enters into transactions involving
various types of financial instruments including debt, investments such as
debt securities, mortgage loans and equity securities, off-balance sheet
financial instruments such as investment and loan commitments, financial
guarantees, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate floors
and swaptions. These instruments have credit risk and also may be subject to
risk of loss due to interest rate and market fluctuations.
Phoenix enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce market risks
from changes in interest rates. Phoenix does not enter into interest rate
swap agreements for trading purposes. Under interest rate swap agreements,
Phoenix exchanges cashflows with another party, at specified intervals, for
a set length of time based on a specified notional principal amount.
Typically, one of the cash flow streams is based on a fixed interest rate
set at the inception of the contract, and the other is a variable rate that
periodically resets. Generally, no premium is paid to enter into the
contract and no payment of principal is made by either party. The amounts to
be received or paid on these swap agreements are accrued and recognized in
net investment income.
Phoenix enters into interest rate floor, interest rate cap and swaption
contracts as a hedge for its assets and liabilities against substantial
changes in interest rates. Phoenix does not enter into interest rate floor,
interest rate cap and swaption contracts for trading purposes. Interest rate
floor and interest rate cap agreements are contracts with a counterparty
which require the payment of a premium and give Phoenix the right to receive
over the maturity of the contract, the difference between the floor or cap
interest rate and a market interest rate on specified future dates based on
an underlying notional principal. Swaption contracts are options to enter
into an interest rate swap transaction on a specified future date and at a
specified price. Upon the exercise of a swaption, Phoenix would either
receive a swap agreement at the pre-specified terms or cash for the market
value of the swap. Phoenix pays the premium for these instruments on a
quarterly basis over the maturity of the contract, and recognizes these
payments in net investment income.
Phoenix enters into foreign currency swap agreements to hedge against
fluctuations in foreign currency exposure. Under these agreements, Phoenix
agrees to exchange with another party, principal and periodic interest
payments denominated in foreign currency for payments denominated in U.S.
dollars. The amounts to be received or paid on these foreign currency swap
agreements is recognized in net investment income. To reduce counterparty
credit risks and
B-30

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
diversify counterparty exposure, Phoenix only enters into derivative
contracts with highly rated financial institutions.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and money market
instruments.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting,
distribution and policy issue expenses, all of which vary with and are
primarily related to the production of new business, are deferred. Deferred
policy acquisition costs (DAC) are subject to recoverability testing at the
time of policy issue and loss recognition at the end of each accounting
period. For individual participating life insurance policies, deferred
policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to historical and
anticipated gross margins. Deviations from expected experience are reflected
in earnings in the period such deviations occur.
For universal life insurance policies, limited pay and investment type
contracts, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to
total estimated gross profits over the expected average life of the
contracts using estimated gross margins arising principally from investment,
mortality and expense margins and surrender charges based on historical and
anticipated experience, updated at the end of each accounting period.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the
fair value of their net assets. These costs are amortized on a straight-line
basis over periods, not exceeding 40 years, that correspond with the
benefits expected to be derived from the acquisitions. Other intangible
assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.
Management periodically reevaluates the propriety of the carrying value of
goodwill and other intangible assets by comparing estimates of future
undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of assets. Assets are
considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds the expected future
undiscounted cash flows.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate account assets and liabilities are funds maintained in accounts to
meet specific investment objectives of contractholders who bear the
investment risk. Investment income and investment gains and losses accrue
directly to such contractholders. The assets of each account are legally
segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other
business of Phoenix. The assets and liabilities are carried at market value.
Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for
these accounts are excluded from revenues, and the related liability
increases are excluded from benefits and expenses. Amounts assessed to the
contractholders for management services are included in revenues.
POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS
Future policy benefits are liabilities for life, health and annuity
products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the
estimated future obligations of policies in force. Policy liabilities for
traditional life insurance are computed using the net level premium method
on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to assumed rates of interest,
mortality, morbidity and withdrawals. Liabilities for universal life include
deposits received from customers and
B-31
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investment earnings on their fund balances, less administrative charges.
Universal life fund balances are also assessed mortality charges.
Liabilities for outstanding claims, losses and loss adjustment expenses are
amounts estimated to cover incurred losses. These liabilities are based on
individual case estimates for reported losses and estimates of unreported
losses based on past experience.
Unearned premiums relate primarily to individual participating life
insurance as well as group life, accident and health insurance premiums. The
premiums are reported as earned on a pro-rata basis over the contract
period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned
premiums.
PREMIUM AND FEE REVENUE AND RELATED EXPENSES
Life insurance premiums, other than premiums for universal life and certain
annuity contracts, are recorded as premium revenue on a pro-rata basis over
each policy year. Benefits, losses and related expenses are matched with
premiums over the related contract periods. Revenues for investment-related
products consist of net investment income and contract charges assessed
against the fund values. Related benefit expenses primarily consist of net
investment income credited to the fund values after deduction for investment
and risk charges. Revenues for universal life products consist of net
investment income and mortality, administration and surrender charges
assessed against the fund values during the period. Related benefit expenses
include universal life benefit claims in excess of fund values and net
investment income credited to universal life fund values.
POLICYHOLDERS' DIVIDENDS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that
enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings of Phoenix. The
amount of policyholders' dividends to be paid is determined annually by
Phoenix's board of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholders'
dividends is related to the actual interest, mortality, morbidity and
expense experience for the year and Phoenix's judgment as to the appropriate
level of statutory surplus to be retained. At the end of the reporting
period, Phoenix establishes a dividend liability for the pro-rata portion of
the dividends payable on the next anniversary date of each policy. Phoenix
also establishes a liability for termination dividends.
INCOME TAXES
Phoenix and its eligible affiliated companies have elected to file a
life/nonlife consolidated federal income tax return for 1999 and prior
years. Entities included within the consolidated group are segregated into
either a life insurance or non-life insurance company subgroup. The
consolidation of these subgroups is subject to certain statutory
restrictions in the percentage of eligible non-life tax losses that can be
applied to offset life company taxable income.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their recorded amounts for financial
reporting purposes. These differences result primarily from policy
liabilities and accruals, policy acquisition expenses, investment impairment
reserves, reserves for postretirement benefits and unrealized gains or
losses on investments.
B-32

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a mutual life insurance company, Phoenix is required to reduce its income
tax deduction for policyholder dividends by the differential earnings
amount, defined as the difference between the earnings rates of stock and
mutual companies applied against an adjusted base of policyholders' surplus.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1999, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS
No. 133". Because of the complexities associated with transactions involving
derivative instruments and their prevalent use as hedging instruments and,
because of the difficulties associated with the implementation of Statement
133, the effective date of SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" was delayed until fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, initially issued on June 15, 1998,
requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at
their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on
whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it
is, the type of hedge transaction. For fair-value hedge transactions in
which Phoenix is hedging changes in an asset's, liability's or firm
commitment's fair value, changes in the fair value of the derivative
instrument will generally be offset in the income statement by changes in
the hedged item's fair value. For cash-flow hedge transactions, in which
Phoenix is hedging the variability of cashflows related to a variable-rate
asset, liability, or a forecasted transaction, changes in the fair value of
the derivative instrument will be reported in other comprehensive income.
The gains and losses on the derivative instrument that are reported in other
comprehensive income will be reclassified as earnings in the period in which
earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged
item. The ineffective portion of all hedges will be recognized in current
period earnings.
Phoenix has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 133 will
have on its earnings or statement of financial position.
Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of
January 1, 1998. This statement establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
financial statements. This statement defines the components of comprehensive
income as those items that were previously reported only as components of
equity and were excluded from net income.
In 1998, Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." This statement supersedes SFAS No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," replacing the "
industry segment" approach with the "management" approach. The management
approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for
making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of
Phoenix's reportable segments. The adoption of this statement did not affect
the results of operations or financial position but did affect the
disclosure of segment information.
In 1998, Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which amends
SFAS No. 87, " Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS No. 88,
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined
Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions". The new statement revises and standardizes
B-33
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
Adoption of this statement did not affect the results of operations or
financial position of Phoenix.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 97-3,
"Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments." SOP 97-3 provides guidance for assessments related to
insurance activities. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a material
impact on Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides
guidance for determining when an entity should capitalize or expense
external and internal costs of computer software developed or obtained for
internal use. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on
Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that start-up costs capitalized
prior to January 1, 1999 should be written off and any future start-up costs
be expenses as incurred. The adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a material
impact on Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four of its business
units; the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and Casualty Brokerage
Operations, the Real Estate Management Operation and the Group Insurance
Operations. Disclosures concerning the financial impact of these
transactions are contained in Note 11 - "Discontinued Operations."
PFG HOLDINGS, INC.
On October 29, 1999, PM Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix,
purchased 100% of PFG Holdings, Inc. 8% cumulative preferred stock
convertible into a 67% interest in common stock for $5 million in cash. In
addition Phoenix has an option to purchase all the outstanding common stock
during year six at a value to 80% of the appraised value of the common stock
at that time. As of the statement date this option had not been executed.
Since the investment represents a majority interest Phoenix has consolidated
this entity for GAAP as if the preferred stock had been converted and
established a minority interest for outside shareholders. The transaction
resulted in goodwill of $3.8 million to be amortized over 10 years.
PFG Holdings was formed to purchase three of The Guarantee Life Companies'
operating subsidiaries: AGL Life Assurance Company, PFG Distribution Company
and Philadelphia Financial Group. These subsidiaries develop, market and
underwrite specialized private placement variable life and annuity products.
AGL Life Assurance Company must maintain at least $10 million of capital and
surplus to satisfy certain regulatory minimum capital requirements. PM
Holdings provided financing at the purchase date of $11 million to PFG
Holdings in order for AGL Life Assurance to meet this minimum requirement.
The debt is an 8.34% senior secured note maturing in 2009.

EMPRENDIMIENTO COMPARTIDO, S.A., (EMCO)
At January 1, 1999 PM Holdings held 9.1 million shares of EMCO, representing
a 35% ownership interest the Argentine financial services company that
provides pension management, annuities and life insurance products. On June
23, 1999, PM Holdings became the majority owner of EMCO when it purchased
13.9 million shares of common stock from the Banco del Suquia, S.A. for
$29.5 million, plus $10.0 million for a five year covenant not-to-compete.
Payment for the stock will be made in three installments: $10.0 million, 180
days from closing; $10.0 million, 360 days from closing; and $9.5 million,
540 days from closing, all subject to interest of 7.06%. The covenant was
paid at the time of closing.
In addition, EMCO purchased, for its treasury, 3.0 million shares of its
outstanding common stock held by two banks. This, in combination with the
purchase described above, increased PM Holdings ownership interest from 35%
to 100% of the then outstanding stock.
On November 12, 1999, PM Holdings sold 11.5 million shares (50% interest) of
EMCO common stock for $40.0 million generating a pre-tax gain of $11.3
million. PM Holdings received $15.0 million in cash plus a $9.0 million
two-year 8% interest bearing note, and a $16.0 million five-year 8% interest
bearing note. PM Holdings uses the equity method of accounting to account
for its remaining 50% interest in EMCO.
After the sale, the remaining excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the acquired net tangible assets totaled $17.0 million. That
consisted of a covenant not-to-compete of $5.0 million which is being
amortized over five years and goodwill of $12.0 million which is being
amortized over ten years.
PHOENIX NEW ENGLAND TRUST

and Mascoma Savings Bank in New Hampshire and the Connecticut branches to
Westbank Corporation, for a total of $25.2 million in cash. No gain or loss
was recognized on this sale. PM Holdings retained the trust business and

the retail mutual fund and closed-end fund business of the New York City
based Zweig Group. Under the terms of the agreement, Phoenix Investment
Partners paid $135.0 million at closing and will pay up to an additional

49% interest in Canadian investment firm Beutel, Goodman & Company, Ltd. for
$47.0 million. Phoenix Investment Partners received $37.0 million in cash
and a $10.0 million three-year interest bearing note. The transaction
resulted in a before-tax gain of approximately $17.5 million. Phoenix's

stock of Aberdeen Asset Management, a Scottish asset management firm. The
investment is reported on the equity basis and classified as other invested

DIVIDEND SCALE REDUCTION
In consideration of the decline of interest rates in the financial markets,
Phoenix's Board of Directors voted in October of 1998 to adopt a reduced
dividend scale, effective for dividends payable on or after January 1, 1999.
Dividends for individual participating policies were reduced 60 basis points
in most cases, an average reduction of approximately 8%. The effect was a
decrease of approximately $15.7 million in the policyholder dividends
expense in 1998. In October 1999, Phoenix's Board of Directors voted to
maintain the dividend scale for dividends payable on or after January 1,
2000.

million in cash. This transaction, along with the sale of 18 other
properties and partnerships during 1998, which had a carrying value of $36.7
million, resulted in pre-tax gains of approximately $67.5 million. As of
December 31, 1999, Phoenix had 3 commercial real estate properties remaining
with a carrying value of $42.9 million and 5 joint venture real estate
partnerships with a carrying value of $49.1 million.

with amortized cost of $3.9 million, $19.6 million and $59.1 million, for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which were
sold specifically due to a significant decline in the issuers' credit
quality. The related realized losses, net of the sales, were $0.2 million,
$0.8 million and $10.1 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Investment income of $2.7 million was not accrued on certain delinquent
mortgage loans and defaulted bonds at December 31, 1999. Phoenix does not
accrue interest income on impaired mortgage loans and impaired bonds when
the likelihood of collection is doubtful.
The payment terms of mortgage loans may, from time to time, be restructured
or modified. The investment in restructured mortgage loans, based on
amortized cost, amounted to $36.5 million and $40.8 million at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income on restructured mortgage loans
that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of such
loans amounted to $4.1 million, $4.9 million and $5.3 million in 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively. Actual interest income on these loans included in
net investment income was $3.5 million, $4.0 million and $3.8 million in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

not that deferred income tax assets at December 31, 1999 and 1998 will be
realized.
8. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
Phoenix has a multi-employer, non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all of its employees. Retirement benefits are a
function of both years of service and level of compensation. Phoenix also
sponsors a non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan to provide
benefits in excess of amounts allowed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
Phoenix's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount equal to at
least the minimum required contribution in accordance with minimum funding
standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits
attributable to service to date, but also for service expected to be earned
in the future.
Components of net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31,
were as follows:

In 1999, Phoenix offered a special retirement program under which qualified
participants' benefits under the employee pension plan were enhanced by
adding five years to age and five years to pension plan service. Of the 320
eligible employees, 146 accepted the special retirement program. As a result
of the special retirement program, Phoenix recorded an additional pension
expense of $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the non-qualified plan was not funded and had
projected benefit obligations of $72.3 million and $57.2 million,
respectively. The accumulated benefit obligations as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 related to this plan were $60.1 million and $48.4 million,
respectively, and are included in other liabilities.
Phoenix recorded, as a reduction of equity, an additional minimum pension
liability of $7.7 million and $6.2 million, net of income taxes, at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing the excess of accumulated
benefit obligations over the fair value of plan assets and accrued pension
liabilities for the non-qualified plan. Phoenix has also recorded an
intangible asset of $11.7 million and $16.2 million as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 related to the non-qualified plan.

The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation was 7.5% and 7.0% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The discount rate assumption for 1999 was determined based on
a study that matched available high quality investment securities with the
expected timing of pension liability payments. The rate of increase in
future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value
of the projected benefit obligation was 4.5% and 4.0% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on retirement plan
assets was 8.0% in 1999 and 1998.
The assets within the pension plan include corporate and government debt
securities, equity securities, real estate, venture capital partnerships,
and shares of mutual funds.
Phoenix also sponsors savings plans for its employees and agents that are
qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). Employees and agents
may contribute a portion of their annual salary, subject to certain
limitations, to the plans. Phoenix contributes an additional amount, subject
to limitation, based on the voluntary contribution of the employee or agent.
Company contributions charged to expense with respect to these plans during
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $4.0 million, $4.1
million and $3.8 million, respectively.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
In addition to Phoenix's pension plans, Phoenix currently provides certain
health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees, spouses and
other eligible dependents through various plans sponsored by Phoenix. A
substantial portion of Phoenix's employees may become eligible for these
benefits upon retirement. The health care plans have varying copayments and
deductibles, depending on the plan. These plans are unfunded.
Phoenix recognizes the costs and obligations of postretirement benefits
other than pensions over the employees' service period ending with the date
an employee is fully eligible to receive benefits.
The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year
ended December 31, were as follows:

================ ================
</TABLE>
The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.5% and 7.0% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
For purposes of measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
the health care costs were assumed to increase 7.5% and 8.5% in 1999 and
1998, respectively, declining thereafter until the ultimate rate of 5.5% is
reached in 2002 and remains at that level thereafter.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend
rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by $4.3 million and the annual service and
interest cost by $0.6 million, before income taxes. Decreasing the assumed
health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would
decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $4.1 million
and the annual service and interest cost by $0.5 million, before income
taxes. Gains and losses that occur because actual experience differs from
the estimates are amortized over the average future service period of
employees.
OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Phoenix recognizes the costs and obligations of severance, disability and
related life insurance and health care benefits to be paid to inactive or
former employees after employment but before retirement. Other
postemployment benefit expenses were $0.5 million for 1999, ($0.5) million
for 1998 and $0.4 million for 1997.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Phoenix offers a wide range of financial products and services. These
businesses have been grouped into three reportable segments.
The Individual segment includes the individual life insurance and annuity
products including participating whole life, universal life, variable life,
term life and variable annuities.
The Investment Management segment includes retail and institutional mutual
fund management and distribution including open-end funds, closed-end funds
and wrap accounts.
Corporate and Other contains several smaller subsidiaries and investment
activities which do not meet the thresholds of reportable segments as
defined in SFAS No. 131. They include venture capital investments,
international operations, trust operations and other investments.
The majority of Phoenix's revenue is derived in the United States. Revenue
derived from outside the United States is not material and revenue derived
from any single customer does not exceed ten percent of total consolidated
revenues.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Phoenix evaluates the
performance of each operating segment based on profit or loss from
operations before income taxes and nonrecurring items. Phoenix does not
include certain nonrecurring items to the segments. They are reported as
unallocated items and include expenses associated with various lawsuits and
legal disputes, postretirement medical expenses associated with an early
retirement program and realized gains associated with the sales of
subsidiaries. See Note 8 - " Pension and Other Postretirement and
Postemployment Benefit Plans."
Included in the following tables is certain information with respect to
Phoenix's operating segments as of and for each of the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, as well as amounts not allocated to the segments
which was described previously.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four of its business
units which in prior years had been reflected as reportable business
segments: the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and Casualty Brokerage
Operations, the Real Estate Management Operation and the Group Insurance
Operations. The discontinuation of these business units resulted from the
sale of several operations, a signed agreement to sell one of the operations
and the implementation of plans to withdraw from the remaining businesses.
REINSURANCE OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix completed a comprehensive strategic review of its life
reinsurance segment and decided to exit these operations through a
combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain components into
run-off. Accordingly, Phoenix estimated sales proceeds, reinsurance premiums
and net claims run-off, resulting in the recognition of a $173 million
pre-tax loss ($113 million after-tax loss) on the disposal of life
reinsurance discontinued operations. The life reinsurance segment consisted
primarily of individual life reinsurance operations as well as group
personal accident and group health reinsurance business. The significant
components of the loss on the disposal of life reinsurance discontinued
operations in 1999 were as follows:
On August 1, 1999, Phoenix sold its individual life reinsurance operations
and certain group health reinsurance business to Employers Reinsurance
Corporation for $130 million. The transaction was structured as a
reinsurance and asset sale transaction, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $113
million. The pre-tax income from operations for the seven months prior to
disposal was $19 million.
On June 30, 1999, PM Holdings sold 100% of the common stock of Financial
Administrative Services, Inc. (FAS), its third-party administration
subsidiary, to CYBERTEK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Policy Management
Systems Corporation. Proceeds from the sale were $8.0 million for the common
stock plus $1.0 million for a covenant not-to-compete, resulting in an
after-tax gain of $2.0 million.
Phoenix retained ownership of the preferred stock of FAS, which under the
terms of the agreement, CYBERTEK will purchase in six equal annual
installments commencing March 31, 2001 through March 31, 2006. The purchase
price will be determined annually based upon earnings, but in total, will
range from a minimum of $4.0 million to a maximum of $16.0 million.
During 1999, Phoenix placed the remaining group personal accident and group
health reinsurance operations into run-off. Management has adopted a formal
plan to terminate the related treaties as early as contractually permitted
and is not entering into any new contracts. Based upon the most recent
information available, Phoenix reviewed the run-off block and estimated the
amount and timing of future net premiums, claims and expenses. Consequently,
Phoenix increased reserve estimates on the run-off block by $180 million. In
addition, as part of the exit strategy, Phoenix purchased finite aggregate
excess of loss reinsurance to further protect Phoenix from unfavorable
results in the run-off block. The finite reinsurance is subject to an
aggregate retention of $100 million on the run-off block. Phoenix may
commute the agreement at any time after September 30, 2004, subject to
automatic commutation effective September 30, 2019. Phoenix paid an initial
premium of $130 million.
The additional estimated reserves and finite reinsurance coverage are
expected to cover the run-off of the business; however, the nature of the
underlying risks is such that the claims may take years to reach the
reinsurers involved. Therefore, Phoenix expects to pay claims out of
existing estimated reserves over a number of years as the level of business
diminishes.

Additionally, certain group personal accident reinsurance business has
become the subject of disputes concerning the placement of the business with
reinsurers and the recovery of the reinsurance. This business primarily
concerns certain occupational accident reinsurance "facilities" and a
reinsurance pool (the Unicover Pool) underwritten and managed by Unicover
Managers, Inc. (Unicover). Phoenix participated as a reinsurer in the
Unicover Pool. The Unicover Pool and "facilities" were reinsured in large
part by a reinsurance facility underwritten and managed by Centaur
Underwriting Limited (Centaur) in which Phoenix also participated. Phoenix
terminated its participation in the Centaur facility effective October 1,
1998 and in the Unicover Pool effective March 1, 1999. However, claims
arising from business underwritten while Phoenix was a participant continue
to run off. On September 21, 1999, Phoenix initiated arbitration proceedings
seeking to rescind certain contracts arising from its participation in the
Centaur facility with respect to reinsurance of the Unicover business. In
January 2000, Phoenix settled two Unicover-related matters (see Note 21 -
"Subsequent Events"). A substantial portion of the risk associated with the
Unicover Pool and "facilities" and the Centaur program was further
retroceded by Phoenix to other unaffiliated insurance entities, providing
Phoenix with significant security. Certain of these retrocessionaires have
given notice that they challenge their obligations under their contracts and
are in arbitration or litigation with Phoenix.
Additionally, certain group personal accident excess of loss reinsurance
contracts created in the London market during 1994 - 1997 have become the
subject of disputes concerning the placement of the business with reinsurers
and the recovery of reinsurance. Several arbitration proceedings are
currently pending.
Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute
resolution proceedings, and the expected long term development of net claims
payments, the estimated amount of the loss on disposal of life reinsurance
discontinued operations may differ from actual results. However, it is
management's opinion, after consideration of the provisions made in these
financial statements, as described above, that future developments will not
have a material effect on Phoenix's consolidated financial position.
PROPERTY AND CASUALTY BROKERAGE OPERATIONS
On July 1, 1999, PM Holdings sold its property and casualty brokerage
business to Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton Company (HRH) for $48.1 million
including $0.2 million for a covenant not-to-compete. Total proceeds
consisted of $32.0 million in convertible debentures, $15.9 million for
865,042 shares of HRH common stock, valued at $18.38 per share on the sale
date, and $0.2 million in cash. The pre-tax gain realized on the sale was
$40.1 million. The HRH common stock is classified as common stock and the
convertible debentures are classified as bonds in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. As of December 31, 1999 Phoenix owns 7% of the outstanding HRH common
stock, 15% on a diluted basis.
REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
On March 31, 1999, Phoenix sold its real estate management subsidiary,
Phoenix Realty Advisors, to Henderson Investors International Holdings, B.V.
for $7.9 million in cash. The pre-tax gain realized on this transaction was
$7.1 million.

GROUP INSURANCE OPERATIONS
On December 9, 1999, Phoenix signed a definitive agreement to sell its Group
Life and Health business, including five companies, Phoenix American Life,
Phoenix Dental Services, Phoenix Group Services, California Benefits and
Clinical Disability Management, to GE Financial Assurance Holdings, Inc.
Proceeds from the sale are estimated to be $285 million, including cash of
$240 million and 3.1% of the common stock of GE Life and Annuity Assurance
Company. Phoenix expects the transaction to be completed in the second
quarter of 2000, subject to regulatory approval.
The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been excluded
from the assets and liabilities of continuing operations and separately
identified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Net assets of the discontinued
operations totaled $187.6 million and $283.8 million as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Asset and liability balances of the continuing
operation as of December 31, 1998, have been restated to conform with the
current year presentation. Likewise, the Consolidated Statement of Income,
Comprehensive Income and Equity has been restated for 1998 and 1997 to
exclude the operating results of discontinued operations from continuing
operations. The operating results of discontinued operations and the gain or

12. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, consisting primarily of
office buildings occupied by Phoenix, are stated at depreciated cost. Real
estate occupied by Phoenix was $101.7 million and $106.7 million at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Phoenix provides for depreciation using
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets which generally range from five to forty years. Accumulated
depreciation and amortization was $182.3 million and $161.2 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Rental expenses for operating leases, principally with respect to buildings,
amounted to $16.3 million, $16.9 million and $16.9 million in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively, for continuing operations. Future minimum rental
payments under non-cancelable operating leases for continuing operations
were approximately $40.2 million as of December 31, 1999, payable as
follows: 2000 - $13.5 million; 2001 - $10.5 million; 2002 - $7.3 million;
2003 - $5.1 million; 2004 - $2.8 million; and $1.0 million thereafter.
13. DIRECT BUSINESS WRITTEN AND REINSURANCE
As is customary practice in the insurance industry, Phoenix assumes and
cedes reinsurance as a means of diversifying underwriting risk. For direct
issues, the maximum of individual life insurance retained by Phoenix on any
one life is $8 million for single life and joint first-to-die policies and
to $10 million for joint last-to-die policies, with excess amounts ceded to
reinsurers. Phoenix reinsures 80% of the mortality risk on the inforce block
of the Confederation Life business acquired on December 31, 1997, and 90% of
the mortality risk on certain new issues of term and universal life
products. In addition, Phoenix entered into a separate reinsurance agreement
on October 1, 1998 to reinsure 80% of the mortality risk on a substantial
portion of its otherwise retained individual life insurance business. In
1999, Phoenix reinsured the mortality risk on the remaining 20% of this
business. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner
consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy.

adjustment due to worse than expected persistency in one of the variable
annuity product lines and a $6.9 million adjustment to traditional life due
to an adjustment to death claims used in determining DAC amortization.
16. MINORITY INTEREST
Phoenix's interests in Phoenix Investment Partners and PFG Holdings, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary PM Holdings, are represented by ownership of
approximately 60% and 67%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common
stock at December 31, 1999. Earnings and equity attributable to minority
shareholders are included in minority interest in the consolidated financial
statements.
17. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Other than debt securities being held-to-maturity, financial instruments
that are subject to fair value disclosure requirements (insurance contracts
are excluded) are carried in the consolidated financial statements at
amounts that approximate fair value. The fair values presented for certain
financial instruments are estimates which, in many cases, may differ
significantly from the amounts which could be realized upon immediate
liquidation. In cases where market prices are not available, estimates of
fair value are based on discounted cash flow analysis which utilize current
interest rates for similar financial instruments which have comparable terms
and credit quality.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For these short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair
value.
B-60
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEBT SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available, or quoted
market prices of comparable instruments. Fair values of private placement
debt securities are estimated using discounted cash flows that apply
interest rates currently being offered with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Phoenix's derivative instruments include interest rate swap, cap and floor
agreements, swaptions and foreign currency swap agreements. Fair values for
these contracts are based on current settlement values. These values are
based on brokerage quotes that utilize pricing models or formulas based upon
current assumptions for the respective agreements.
EQUITY SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted
market price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent
pricing sources or internally developed pricing models.
MORTGAGE LOANS
Fair values are calculated as the present value of scheduled payments, with
the discount based upon the Treasury rate comparable for the remaining loan
duration, plus a spread of between 130 and 800 basis points, depending on
the internal quality rating of the loan. For loans in foreclosure or
default, values were determined assuming principal recovery was the lower of
the loan balance or the estimated value of the underlying property.
POLICY LOANS
Fair values are estimated as the present value of loan interest and policy
loan repayments discounted at the ten year Treasury rate. Loan repayments
were assumed only to occur as a result of anticipated policy lapses, and it
was assumed that annual policy loan interest payments were made at the
guaranteed loan rate less 17.5 basis points. Discounting was at the ten year
Treasury rate, except for policy loans with a variable policy loan rate.
Variable policy loans have an interest rate that is reset annually based
upon market rates and therefore, book value is a reasonable approximation of
fair value.
INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
In determining the fair value of guaranteed interest contracts, a discount
rate equal to the appropriate Treasury rate, plus 150 basis points, was
assumed to determine the present value of projected contractual liability
payments through final maturity.
The fair value of deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without
life contingencies with an interest guarantee of one year or less is valued
at the amount of the policy reserve. In determining the fair value of
deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without life contingencies
with interest guarantees greater than one year, a discount rate equal to the
appropriate Treasury rate, plus 150 basis points, was used to determine the
present value of the projected account value of the policy at the end of the
current guarantee period.
Deposit type funds, including pension deposit administration contracts,
dividend accumulations, and other funds left on deposit not involving life
contingencies, have interest guarantees of less than one year for which
interest credited is closely tied to rates earned on owned assets. For such
liabilities, fair value is assumed to be equal to the stated liability
balances.

of disputes concerning the placement of the business with reinsurers and the
recovery of the reinsurance (see Note 11 - "Discontinued Operations" and
Note 21 - "Subsequent Events").
19. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state
regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or
permitted by such authorities. Except for the accounting policy involving
federal income taxes described next, there were no material practices not
prescribed by the State of New York Insurance Department (the Insurance
Department), as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Phoenix's statutory
federal income tax liability is principally based on estimates of federal
income tax due. A deferred income tax liability has also been established
for estimated taxes on unrealized gains for common stock and venture capital
equity partnerships. Current New York law does not allow the recording of
deferred income taxes. Phoenix has received approval from the Insurance
Department for this practice.

Statutory surplus differs from equity reported
in accordance with GAAP for life insurance companies primarily because
policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, investment reserves are
based on different assumptions, surplus notes are not included in equity,
postretirement benefit costs are based on different assumptions and reflect
a different method of adoption, life insurance reserves are based on
different assumptions and income tax expense reflects only taxes paid or
currently payable.

The Insurance Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices for
determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations
of an insurance company, for determining its solvency under New York
Insurance Law, and for determining whether its financial condition warrants
the payment of a dividend to its policyholders. No consideration is given by
the Insurance Department to financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in making such determinations.

20. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
In 1999, Phoenix revised the accounting for venture capital partnerships to
include unrealized capital gains and losses on investments held in the
partnerships. These gains and losses are recorded in investment income.
Opening retained earnings at December 31, 1996 has been increased by $17.6
million. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 was revised
by increasing the following balances: other invested assets by $50.6
million, deferred income taxes by $17.7 million and retained earnings by
$32.9 million. The effect on the Consolidated Statement of Income,
Comprehensive Income and Equity was an increase in net income of $12.4
million and $2.9 million for the years ended 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In 1998, Phoenix revised the accounting for partnerships involved in
leveraged lease arrangements for 1997 and 1996. Opening retained earnings at
December 31, 1995 has been increased by $7.7 million. The Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1997 was revised by increasing the
following balances: other invested assets by $18.9 million, deferred income
taxes by $6.6 million and retained earnings by $12.3 million. The effect on
the Consolidated Statement of Income, Comprehensive Income and Equity was an
increase in net income of $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the years ended
1997 and 1996, respectively.
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENT REINSURANCE
On January 21, 2000, Phoenix, in connection with its participation in the
Centaur facility, and two other companies completed a settlement agreement
with Reliance Insurance Company (Reliance) with respect to certain
reinsurance contracts covering occupational accident business reinsured by
Reliance as a Unicover-managed "facility." The Reliance business was the
largest portion of occupational accident reinsurance business underwritten
by Unicover. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Phoenix ended the
contracts for a total payment of $115.0 million.
On January 13, 2000, Phoenix and four other companies, in connection with
their participation in the Unicover Pool, completed a settlement agreement
with EBI Indemnity Company and other affiliates of the Orion Group (EBI)
with respect to certain reinsurance contracts covering occupational accident
business which EBI ceded to the Unicover Pool. These contracts represented
the largest source of premium to the Unicover Pool. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the Unicover Pool members ended the contracts for a
total payment of $43.0 million, of which Phoenix's share was approximately
$10.0 million.
Phoenix included the cost of these settlements, net of reinsurance, in its
estimate of the loss on discontinued life reinsurance operations. See Note
11 - "Discontinued Operations."

PEPCO, an affiliate of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company
("Phoenix"), offers these contracts on a continuous basis. No contracts were
sold during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, therefore
PEPCO was not paid and retained $0.
CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount. We summarize the
following information in the prospectus under the heading "Performance History."
We calculate the yield of the Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount for a
7-day "base period" by determining the "net change in value" of a hypothetical
pre-existing account. We assume the hypothetical account had an initial balance
of one share at the beginning of the base period. We then determine what the
value of the hypothetical account would have been at the end of the 7-day base
period. The end value minus the initial value gives us the net change in value
for the hypothetical account. The net change in value can then be divided by the
initial value giving us the base period return (one week's return). To find the
equivalent annual return we multiply the base period return by 365/7. The
equivalent effective annual yield differs from the annual return because we
assume all returns are reinvested in the subaccount. We carry results to the
nearest hundredth of one percent.
The net change in value of the hypothetical account includes the daily net
investment income of the account (after expenses), but does not include realized
gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying
fund shares.
The yield/return calculations include a mortality and expense risk charge
equal to either 0.775% (Option 1) or 1.125% (Option 2) on an annual basis, and a
daily administrative fee equal to 0.125% on an annual basis.
The Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount return and effective yield will
vary in response to fluctuations in interest rates and in the expenses of the
subaccount.
We do not include the maximum annual administrative fee in calculating the
current return and effective yield. Should such a fee apply to your account,
current return and/or effective yield for your account could be reduced.
Example Calculations:
The following are examples of how these return/yield calculations for the
Phoenix-Goodwin Money Market Subaccount are calculated:
EXAMPLE FOR BENEFIT OPTION 1:
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with
exactly one Unit at the beginning of the period:.. $1.000000
Value of the same account (excluding capital changes)
at the end of the 7-day period:................... 1.000828
Calculation:
Ending account value.............................. 1.000828
Less beginning account value...................... 1.000000
Net change in account value....................... 0.000828
Base period return:
(adjusted change/beginning account value)......... 0.000828
Current yield = return x (365/7) =................... 4.32%
Effective yield = [(1 + return)(365/7)] -1 =......... 4.41%
EXAMPLE FOR BENEFIT OPTION 2:
Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with
exactly one unit at the beginning of the period:.. $1.000000
Value of the same account (excluding capital
changes) at the end of the 7-day period:.......... 1.000761
Calculation:
Ending account value.............................. 1.000761
Less beginning account value...................... 1.000000
Net change in account value....................... 0.000761
Base period return:
(adjusted change/beginning account value)......... 0.000761
Current yield = return x (365/7) =................... 3.97%
Effective yield = [(1 + return)(365/7)] -1 =......... 4.05%
Calculation of Total Return. We summarize the following information in the
prospectus under the heading, "Performance History." Total return measures the
change in value of a subaccount investment over a stated period. We compute
total returns by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the
1-, 5- and 10-year periods that would equate the initial amount invested to the
ending redeemable value according to a formula. The formula for total return
includes the following steps:
(1) We assume a hypothetical $1,000 initial investment in the subaccount;
(2) We determine the value the hypothetical initial investment would have were
it redeemed at the end of each period. All recurring fees and any applicable
contingent deferred sales charge are deducted. This figure is the ending
redeemable value (ERV in the formula given below);
B-2
<PAGE>
(3) We divide this value by the initial $1,000 investment, resulting in ratio of
the ending redeemable value to the initial value for that period;
(4) To get the average annual total return we take the nth root of the ratio
from step (3), where n equals the number of years in that period (e.g. 1, 5,
10), and subtract one.
The formula in mathematical terms is:
R = ((ERV / II)(1/n)) - 1
Where:
II = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
R = average annual total return for the period
n = number of years in the period
ERV = ending redeemable value of the hypothetical
$1,000 for the period [see (2) and (3) above]
We normally calculate total return for 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods
for each subaccount. If a subaccount has not been available for at least 10
years, we will provide total returns for other relevant periods.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Advertisements, sale literature and other communications may contain
information about series' or advisor's current investment strategies and
management style. An advisor may alter investment strategies and style in
response to changing market and economic conditions. A fund may wish to make
known a series' specific portfolio holdings or holdings in specific industries.
A fund may also separately illustrate the income and capital gain portions of a
series' total return. Performance might also be advertised by breaking down
returns into equity and debt components. A series may compare its equity or bond
return figure to any of a number of well-known benchmarks of market performance,
including, but not limited to:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average(SM)(1)
First Boston High Yield Index
Salomon Brothers Corporate Index
Salomon Brothers Government Bond Index
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500)(2)
Each subaccount may include its yield and total return in advertisements or
communications with current or prospective contract owners. Each subaccount may
also include in such advertisements, its ranking or comparison to similar mutual
funds by such organizations as:
Lipper Analytical Services
Morningstar, Inc.
Thomson Financial
A fund may also compare a series' performance to other investment or savings
vehicles (such as certificates of deposit) and may refer to results published in
such publications as:
Barrons
Business Week
Changing Times
Forbes
Fortune
Consumer Reports
Investor's Business Daily
Financial Planning
Financial Services Weekly
Financial World
Money
The New York Times
Personal Investor
Registered Representative
Stanger's Investment Adviser
The Stanger Register
U.S. News and World Report
The Wall Street Journal
A fund may also illustrate the benefits of tax deferral by comparing taxable
investments with investments through tax-deferred retirement plans.
The total return and yield may be used to compare the performance of the
subaccounts with certain commonly used standards for stock and bond market
performance. Such indexes include, but are not limited to:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average(SM)(1)
First Boston High Yield Index
Salomon Brothers Corporate Index
Salomon Brothers Government Bond Index
The S&P 500(2)
CALCULATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See your prospectus in the section titled "The Annuity Period" for a
description of the annuity options and restrictions.
You may elect a payment option by written request as described in your
prospectus. If you do not elect an option, amounts held under the contract will
be applied to provide a Variable Payment Life Expectancy Annuity (Option L) on
the maturity date. You may not change your election after the first annuity
payment.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Fixed annuity payments are determined by the total dollar value for all
subaccounts' accumulation units and all amounts held in the GIA. For each
contract the resulting dollar value is then multiplied by the applicable annuity
purchase rate, which reflects the age (and sex for nontax-qualified plans) of
the annuitant or annuitants, for the fixed payment annuity option selected. The
guaranteed annuity payment rates will be no less favorable than the following:
Under Options A, B, D, E and F rates are based on the a-49 Annuity Table(4)
projected to 1985 with Projection Scale B. We use an interest rate of 3-3/8% for
5- and 10-year certain periods under Option A, for the 10-year certain period
under Option F, and for Option E; an interest rate of 3-1/4% for the 20-year
certain period under Options A and F; an interest rate of
B-3
<PAGE>
3-1/2% under Options B and D. Under Options G and H the guaranteed interest
rate is 3%.
It is possible that we may have more favorable (i.e. higher-paying) rates in
effect on the settlement date.
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Under all variable options except Option L, the first payment is based on an
assumed annual investment rate of 4-1/2%. All subsequent payments may be higher
or lower depending on investment experience of the subaccounts.
Under Options I, J, K, M and N, we determine the first payment by
multiplying the amounts held under the selected option in each subaccount by the
applicable payment option rate, which reflects the age (and sex for
nontax-qualified plans) of the annuitant or annuitants. The first payment equals
the total of such amounts determined for each subaccount. We determine future
payments under these options by multiplying the contract value in each
subaccount (Number of Annuity Units times the Annuity Unit Value) by the
applicable payment option's rate on the payment calculation date. The payment
will equal the sum of the amounts provided by each subaccount investment.
Under Option L, we determine the amount of the annual distribution by
dividing the amount of contract value held under this option on December 31 of
the previous year by the life expectancy of the annuitant or the joint life
expectancy of the annuitant and joint annuitant at that time.
Under Options I, J, M and N, the applicable options rate used to determine
the first payment amount will not be less than the rate based on the 1983 Table
A (1983 IAM)(4) projected with Projection Scale G to the year 2040, and with
continued projection thereafter, and on the assumed investment rate. Under
Option K, the rate will be based on the number of payments to be made during the
specified period and the assumed investment rate.
We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily
administrative fee from contract values held in the subaccounts. See your
prospectus in the section titled "Deductions and Charges." Electing Option K
will result in a mortality risk deduction being made even though we assume no
mortality risk under that option.
EXPERTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The consolidated financial statements of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance
Company as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1999 included herein have been so included in reliance
on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given on
the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose address is 100 Pearl Street, Hartford,
Connecticut 06103, also provides other accounting and tax-related services as
requested by Phoenix from time to time.
Edwin L. Kerr, Counsel, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, has
provided advice on certain matters relating to the federal securities and income
tax laws in connection with the contracts described in this prospectus.
1 The Dow Jones Industrial Average(SM) (DJIA(SM)) is an unweighted(3) index of
30 industrial "blue chip" U.S. stocks. It is the oldest continuing U.S. market
index. The 30 stocks now in the DJIA(SM) are both widely-held and a major
influence in their respective industries. The average is computed in such a
way as to preserve its historical continuity and account for such factors as
stock splits and periodic changes in the components of the index. The editors
of The Wall Street Journal select the component stocks of the DJIA(SM).
2 The S&P 500 is a market-value weighted(3) index composed of 500 stocks chosen
for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is one of
the most widely used indicators of U.S. Stock Market performance. As of
December 31, 1999 it contained 376 industrial, 41 utility, 72 financial and 11
transportation issues. The composition of the S&P 500 changes from time to
time. Standard & Poor's Index Committee makes all decisions about the S&P 500.
3 Weighted and unweighted indexes: A market-value, or capitalization, weighted
index uses relative market value (share price multiplied by the number of
shares outstanding) to "weight" the influence of a stock's price on the index.
Simply put, larger companies' stock prices influence the index more than
smaller companies' stock prices. An unweighted index (such as the Dow Jones
Industrial Average(SM)) uses stock price alone to determine the index value. A
company's relative size has no bearing on its impact on the index.
4 The Society of Actuaries developed these tables to provide payment rates for
annuities based on a set of mortality tables acceptable to most regulating
authorities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
and Policyholders of
Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company and its subsidiaries at December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
As indicated in Note 20, the Company has revised the accounting for venture
capital partnerships.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (Phoenix)
market a wide range of insurance and investment products and services
including individual participating life insurance, term, universal and
variable life insurance, annuities, and investment advisory and mutual fund
distribution services. These products and services are distributed among
three reportable segments: Individual, Investment Management and Corporate &
Other. See Note 10 - "Segment Information."
Additionally, in 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four
of its business units: the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and
Casualty Brokerage Operations, the Real Estate Management
Operations and the Group Insurance Operations. See Note 11 -
"Discontinued Operations."
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phoenix and
significant subsidiaries. Less than majority-owned entities in which Phoenix
has significant influence over operating and financial policies, and
generally at least a 20% ownership interest, are reported on the equity
basis.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates used in determining insurance and contractholder liabilities,
related reinsurance recoverables, income taxes, contingencies and valuation
allowances for investment assets are discussed throughout the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Amounts for 1998 and 1997 have been
retroactively restated to account for income from venture capital
partnership investments and leveraged lease investments. See Note 20 -
"Prior Period Adjustments" for venture capital investment and leveraged
lease investment information. Certain reclassifications have been made to
the 1998 and 1997 amounts to conform with the 1999 presentation.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investments in debt securities include bonds, mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities. Phoenix classifies its debt securities as either
held-to-maturity or available-for-sale investments. Debt securities
held-to-maturity consist of private placement bonds reported at amortized
cost, net of impairments, that management intends and has the ability to
hold until maturity. Debt securities available-for-sale are reported at fair
value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity and consist of
public bonds and preferred stocks that management may not hold until
maturity. Debt securities are considered impaired when a decline in value is
considered to be other than temporary.
B-12
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the mortgage-backed and asset-backed bond portion of the debt security
portfolio, Phoenix 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 and any resulting adjustment is
included in net investment income.
Equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at
fair value, based principally on their quoted market prices, with unrealized
gains or losses included in equity. Equity securities are considered
impaired when a decline in value is considered to be other than temporary.
Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net
of valuation reserves on impaired mortgages. A mortgage loan is considered
to be impaired if management believes it is probable that Phoenix will be
unable to collect all amounts of contractual interest and principal as
scheduled in the loan agreement. An impaired mortgage loan's fair value is
measured based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the
loan's observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral. If
the fair value of a mortgage loan is less than the recorded investment in
the loan, the difference is recorded as a valuation reserve.
Real estate, all of which is held for sale, is carried at the lower of cost
or current fair value less costs to sell. Fair value for real estate is
determined taking into consideration one or more of the following factors:
property valuation techniques utilizing discounted cash flows at the time of
stabilization including capital expenditures and stabilization costs; sales
of comparable properties; geographic location of the property and related
market conditions; and disposition costs.
Policy loans are generally carried at their unpaid principal balances and
are collateralized by the cash values of the related policies.
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.
Venture capital partnership and other partnership interests are carried at
cost adjusted for Phoenix's equity in undistributed earnings or losses since
acquisition, less allowances for other than temporary declines in value.
These earnings or losses are included in investment income. Venture capital
partnerships generally account for the underlying investments held in the
partnerships at fair value. These investments can include public and private
common and preferred stock, notes, warrants and other investments.
Investments that are publicly traded are generally valued at closing market
prices. Investments that are not publicly traded, which are usually subject
to restrictions on resale, are generally valued at cost or at estimated fair
value, as determined in good faith by the general partner after giving
consideration to operating results, financial conditions, recent sales
prices of issuers' securities and other pertinent information. Some general
partners will discount the fair value of private investments held to reflect
these restrictions. These valuations subject the earnings to volatility.
Beginning in 1999, Phoenix includes equity in undistributed unrealized
capital gains and losses on investments held in the venture capital
partnerships in net investment income. Prior to 1999, these amounts were not
recorded. Prior years have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 20
- "Prior Period Adjustments" for additional information on venture capital
partnership investments.
B-13

PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other invested assets include leveraged lease investments. These investments
represent the net of the estimated residual value of the lease assets,
rental receivables, and unearned and deferred income to be allocated over
the lease term. Investment income is calculated using the interest method
and is recognized only in periods in which the net investment is positive.
Realized investment gains and losses, other than those related to separate
accounts for which Phoenix does not bear the investment risk, are determined
by the specific identification method and reported as a component of
revenue. A realized investment loss is recorded when an investment valuation
reserve is determined. Valuation reserves are netted against the asset
categories to which they apply and changes in the valuation reserves are
included in realized investment gains and losses. Unrealized investment
gains and losses on debt securities and equity securities classified as
available-for-sale are included as a component of equity, net of deferred
income taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, Phoenix enters into transactions involving
various types of financial instruments including debt, investments such as
debt securities, mortgage loans and equity securities, off-balance sheet
financial instruments such as investment and loan commitments, financial
guarantees, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate floors
and swaptions. These instruments have credit risk and also may be subject to
risk of loss due to interest rate and market fluctuations.
Phoenix enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce market risks
from changes in interest rates. Phoenix does not enter into interest rate
swap agreements for trading purposes. Under interest rate swap agreements,
Phoenix exchanges cashflows with another party, at specified intervals, for
a set length of time based on a specified notional principal amount.
Typically, one of the cash flow streams is based on a fixed interest rate
set at the inception of the contract, and the other is a variable rate that
periodically resets. Generally, no premium is paid to enter into the
contract and no payment of principal is made by either party. The amounts to
be received or paid on these swap agreements are accrued and recognized in
net investment income.
Phoenix enters into interest rate floor, interest rate cap and swaption
contracts as a hedge for its assets and liabilities against substantial
changes in interest rates. Phoenix does not enter into interest rate floor,
interest rate cap and swaption contracts for trading purposes. Interest rate
floor and interest rate cap agreements are contracts with a counterparty
which require the payment of a premium and give Phoenix the right to receive
over the maturity of the contract, the difference between the floor or cap
interest rate and a market interest rate on specified future dates based on
an underlying notional principal. Swaption contracts are options to enter
into an interest rate swap transaction on a specified future date and at a
specified price. Upon the exercise of a swaption, Phoenix would either
receive a swap agreement at the pre-specified terms or cash for the market
value of the swap. Phoenix pays the premium for these instruments on a
quarterly basis over the maturity of the contract, and recognizes these
payments in net investment income.
Phoenix enters into foreign currency swap agreements to hedge against
fluctuations in foreign currency exposure. Under these agreements, Phoenix
agrees to exchange with another party, principal and periodic interest
payments denominated in foreign currency for payments denominated in U.S.
dollars. The amounts to be received or paid on these foreign currency swap
agreements is recognized in net investment income. To reduce counterparty
credit risks and
B-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
diversify counterparty exposure, Phoenix only enters into derivative
contracts with highly rated financial institutions.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and money market
instruments.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting,
distribution and policy issue expenses, all of which vary with and are
primarily related to the production of new business, are deferred. Deferred
policy acquisition costs (DAC) are subject to recoverability testing at the
time of policy issue and loss recognition at the end of each accounting
period. For individual participating life insurance policies, deferred
policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to historical and
anticipated gross margins. Deviations from expected experience are reflected
in earnings in the period such deviations occur.
For universal life insurance policies, limited pay and investment type
contracts, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to
total estimated gross profits over the expected average life of the
contracts using estimated gross margins arising principally from investment,
mortality and expense margins and surrender charges based on historical and
anticipated experience, updated at the end of each accounting period.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the
fair value of their net assets. These costs are amortized on a straight-line
basis over periods, not exceeding 40 years, that correspond with the
benefits expected to be derived from the acquisitions. Other intangible
assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.
Management periodically reevaluates the propriety of the carrying value of
goodwill and other intangible assets by comparing estimates of future
undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of assets. Assets are
considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds the expected future
undiscounted cash flows.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate account assets and liabilities are funds maintained in accounts to
meet specific investment objectives of contractholders who bear the
investment risk. Investment income and investment gains and losses accrue
directly to such contractholders. The assets of each account are legally
segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other
business of Phoenix. The assets and liabilities are carried at market value.
Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for
these accounts are excluded from revenues, and the related liability
increases are excluded from benefits and expenses. Amounts assessed to the
contractholders for management services are included in revenues.
POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS
Future policy benefits are liabilities for life, health and annuity
products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the
estimated future obligations of policies in force. Policy liabilities for
traditional life insurance are computed using the net level premium method
on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to assumed rates of interest,
mortality, morbidity and withdrawals. Liabilities for universal life include
deposits received from customers and
B-15

PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investment earnings on their fund balances, less administrative charges.
Universal life fund balances are also assessed mortality charges.
Liabilities for outstanding claims, losses and loss adjustment expenses are
amounts estimated to cover incurred losses. These liabilities are based on
individual case estimates for reported losses and estimates of unreported
losses based on past experience.
Unearned premiums relate primarily to individual participating life
insurance as well as group life, accident and health insurance premiums. The
premiums are reported as earned on a pro-rata basis over the contract
period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned
premiums.
PREMIUM AND FEE REVENUE AND RELATED EXPENSES
Life insurance premiums, other than premiums for universal life and certain
annuity contracts, are recorded as premium revenue on a pro-rata basis over
each policy year. Benefits, losses and related expenses are matched with
premiums over the related contract periods. Revenues for investment-related
products consist of net investment income and contract charges assessed
against the fund values. Related benefit expenses primarily consist of net
investment income credited to the fund values after deduction for investment
and risk charges. Revenues for universal life products consist of net
investment income and mortality, administration and surrender charges
assessed against the fund values during the period. Related benefit expenses
include universal life benefit claims in excess of fund values and net
investment income credited to universal life fund values.
POLICYHOLDERS' DIVIDENDS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that
enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings of Phoenix. The
amount of policyholders' dividends to be paid is determined annually by
Phoenix's board of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholders'
dividends is related to the actual interest, mortality, morbidity and
expense experience for the year and Phoenix's judgment as to the appropriate
level of statutory surplus to be retained. At the end of the reporting
period, Phoenix establishes a dividend liability for the pro-rata portion of
the dividends payable on the next anniversary date of each policy. Phoenix
also establishes a liability for termination dividends.
INCOME TAXES
Phoenix and its eligible affiliated companies have elected to file a
life/nonlife consolidated federal income tax return for 1999 and prior
years. Entities included within the consolidated group are segregated into
either a life insurance or non-life insurance company subgroup. The
consolidation of these subgroups is subject to certain statutory
restrictions in the percentage of eligible non-life tax losses that can be
applied to offset life company taxable income.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their recorded amounts for financial
reporting purposes. These differences result primarily from policy
liabilities and accruals, policy acquisition expenses, investment impairment
reserves, reserves for postretirement benefits and unrealized gains or
losses on investments.

As a mutual life insurance company, Phoenix is required to reduce its income
tax deduction for policyholder dividends by the differential earnings
amount, defined as the difference between the earnings rates of stock and
mutual companies applied against an adjusted base of policyholders' surplus.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1999, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS
No. 133". Because of the complexities associated with transactions involving
derivative instruments and their prevalent use as hedging instruments and,
because of the difficulties associated with the implementation of Statement
133, the effective date of SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" was delayed until fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, initially issued on June 15, 1998,
requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at
their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on
whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it
is, the type of hedge transaction. For fair-value hedge transactions in
which Phoenix is hedging changes in an asset's, liability's or firm
commitment's fair value, changes in the fair value of the derivative
instrument will generally be offset in the income statement by changes in
the hedged item's fair value. For cash-flow hedge transactions, in which
Phoenix is hedging the variability of cashflows related to a variable-rate
asset, liability, or a forecasted transaction, changes in the fair value of
the derivative instrument will be reported in other comprehensive income.
The gains and losses on the derivative instrument that are reported in other
comprehensive income will be reclassified as earnings in the period in which
earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged
item. The ineffective portion of all hedges will be recognized in current
period earnings.
Phoenix has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 133 will
have on its earnings or statement of financial position.
Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of
January 1, 1998. This statement establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
financial statements. This statement defines the components of comprehensive
income as those items that were previously reported only as components of
equity and were excluded from net income.
In 1998, Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." This statement supersedes SFAS No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," replacing the "
industry segment" approach with the "management" approach. The management
approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for
making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of
Phoenix's reportable segments. The adoption of this statement did not affect
the results of operations or financial position but did affect the
disclosure of segment information.
In 1998, Phoenix adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which amends
SFAS No. 87, " Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS No. 88,
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined
Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions". The new statement revises and standardizes
B-17
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
Adoption of this statement did not affect the results of operations or
financial position of Phoenix.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 97-3,
"Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments." SOP 97-3 provides guidance for assessments related to
insurance activities. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a material
impact on Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides
guidance for determining when an entity should capitalize or expense
external and internal costs of computer software developed or obtained for
internal use. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on
Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
On January 1, 1999, Phoenix adopted SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that start-up costs capitalized
prior to January 1, 1999 should be written off and any future start-up costs
be expenses as incurred. The adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a material
impact on Phoenix's results from operations or financial position.
3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four of its business
units; the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and Casualty Brokerage
Operations, the Real Estate Management Operation and the Group Insurance
Operations. Disclosures concerning the financial impact of these
transactions are contained in Note 11 - "Discontinued Operations."
PFG HOLDINGS, INC.
On October 29, 1999, PM Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix,
purchased 100% of PFG Holdings, Inc. 8% cumulative preferred stock
convertible into a 67% interest in common stock for $5 million in cash. In
addition Phoenix has an option to purchase all the outstanding common stock
during year six at a value to 80% of the appraised value of the common stock
at that time. As of the statement date this option had not been executed.
Since the investment represents a majority interest Phoenix has consolidated
this entity for GAAP as if the preferred stock had been converted and
established a minority interest for outside shareholders. The transaction
resulted in goodwill of $3.8 million to be amortized over 10 years.
PFG Holdings was formed to purchase three of The Guarantee Life Companies'
operating subsidiaries: AGL Life Assurance Company, PFG Distribution Company
and Philadelphia Financial Group. These subsidiaries develop, market and
underwrite specialized private placement variable life and annuity products.
AGL Life Assurance Company must maintain at least $10 million of capital and
surplus to satisfy certain regulatory minimum capital requirements. PM
Holdings provided financing at the purchase date of $11 million to PFG
Holdings in order for AGL Life Assurance to meet this minimum requirement.
The debt is an 8.34% senior secured note maturing in 2009.

EMPRENDIMIENTO COMPARTIDO, S.A., (EMCO)
At January 1, 1999 PM Holdings held 9.1 million shares of EMCO, representing
a 35% ownership interest the Argentine financial services company that
provides pension management, annuities and life insurance products. On June
23, 1999, PM Holdings became the majority owner of EMCO when it purchased
13.9 million shares of common stock from the Banco del Suquia, S.A. for
$29.5 million, plus $10.0 million for a five year covenant not-to-compete.
Payment for the stock will be made in three installments: $10.0 million, 180
days from closing; $10.0 million, 360 days from closing; and $9.5 million,
540 days from closing, all subject to interest of 7.06%. The covenant was
paid at the time of closing.
In addition, EMCO purchased, for its treasury, 3.0 million shares of its
outstanding common stock held by two banks. This, in combination with the
purchase described above, increased PM Holdings ownership interest from 35%
to 100% of the then outstanding stock.
On November 12, 1999, PM Holdings sold 11.5 million shares (50% interest) of
EMCO common stock for $40.0 million generating a pre-tax gain of $11.3
million. PM Holdings received $15.0 million in cash plus a $9.0 million
two-year 8% interest bearing note, and a $16.0 million five-year 8% interest
bearing note. PM Holdings uses the equity method of accounting to account
for its remaining 50% interest in EMCO.
After the sale, the remaining excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the acquired net tangible assets totaled $17.0 million. That
consisted of a covenant not-to-compete of $5.0 million which is being
amortized over five years and goodwill of $12.0 million which is being
amortized over ten years.
PHOENIX NEW ENGLAND TRUST
On October 29, 1999, PM Holdings indirectly acquired 100% of the common
stock of New London Trust, a banking subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada, for
$30.0 million in cash. New London Trust, renamed Phoenix New England Trust,
is a New Hampshire based federal savings bank that operates a trust division
with assets under management of approximately $1 billion. Immediately
following this acquisition, on November 1, 1999, PM Holdings sold the New
London Trust's New Hampshire retail banking operations to Lake Sunapee Bank
and Mascoma Savings Bank in New Hampshire and the Connecticut branches to
Westbank Corporation, for a total of $25.2 million in cash. No gain or loss
was recognized on this sale. PM Holdings retained the trust business and
four trust offices of New London Trust, located in New Hampshire and
Vermont.
LOMBARD INTERNATIONAL ASSURANCE, S.A.
On November 5, 1999, PM Holdings purchased 12% of the common stock of
Lombard International Assurance, S.A., a Pan-European financial services
company, for $29.1 million in cash. Lombard provides investment-linked
insurance products to high-net-worth individuals in eight European
countries. This investment is classified as equity securities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

PHOENIX INVESTMENT PARTNERS, LTD.
On March 1, 1999, Phoenix Investment Partners completed its acquisition of
the retail mutual fund and closed-end fund business of the New York City
based Zweig Group. Under the terms of the agreement, Phoenix Investment
Partners paid $135.0 million at closing and will pay up to an additional
$29.0 million over the next three years based on revenue growth of the Zweig
funds. The Zweig Group managed approximately $3.3 billion of assets as of
December 31,1999.
On December 3, 1998, Phoenix Investment Partners completed the sale of its
49% interest in Canadian investment firm Beutel, Goodman & Company, Ltd. for
$47.0 million. Phoenix Investment Partners received $37.0 million in cash
and a $10.0 million three-year interest bearing note. The transaction
resulted in a before-tax gain of approximately $17.5 million. Phoenix's
interest represents an after-tax realized gain of approximately $6.8
million.
Phoenix owns approximately 60% of the outstanding Phoenix Investment
Partners' common stock. In addition, Phoenix owns 45% of Phoenix Investment
Partners' convertible subordinated debentures.
ABERDEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC
On February 18, 1999, PM Holdings purchased an additional 15.1 million
shares of the common stock of Aberdeen Asset Management for $29.4 million.
As of December 31, 1999, PM Holdings owned 21% of the outstanding common
stock of Aberdeen Asset Management, a Scottish asset management firm. The
investment is reported on the equity basis and classified as other invested
assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
DIVIDEND SCALE REDUCTION
In consideration of the decline of interest rates in the financial markets,
Phoenix's Board of Directors voted in October of 1998 to adopt a reduced
dividend scale, effective for dividends payable on or after January 1, 1999.
Dividends for individual participating policies were reduced 60 basis points
in most cases, an average reduction of approximately 8%. The effect was a
decrease of approximately $15.7 million in the policyholder dividends

The sale of fixed maturities held-to-maturity relate to certain securities,
with amortized cost of $3.9 million, $19.6 million and $59.1 million, for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which were
sold specifically due to a significant decline in the issuers' credit
quality. The related realized losses, net of the sales, were $0.2 million,
$0.8 million and $10.1 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities, by contractual sinking
fund payment and maturity, as of December 31, 1999 are shown below. Actual
maturity may differ from contractual maturity because borrowers may have the
right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment
penalties, or Phoenix may have the right to put or sell the obligations back
to the issuers.

because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without
prepayment penalties and loans may be refinanced. Phoenix refinanced $6.7
million and $2.3 million of its mortgage loans during 1999 and 1998,
respectively, based on terms which differed from those granted to new
borrowers.
The carrying value of delinquent and in process of foreclosure mortgage

Management of Phoenix considers the likelihood of any material loss on these
instruments to be remote.

8. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
Phoenix has a multi-employer, non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all of its employees. Retirement benefits are a
function of both years of service and level of compensation. Phoenix also
sponsors a non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan to provide
benefits in excess of amounts allowed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
Phoenix's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount equal to at
least the minimum required contribution in accordance with minimum funding
standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits
attributable to service to date, but also for service expected to be earned
in the future.
Components of net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31,
were as follows:

In 1999, Phoenix offered a special retirement program under which qualified
participants' benefits under the employee pension plan were enhanced by
adding five years to age and five years to pension plan service. Of the 320
eligible employees, 146 accepted the special retirement program. As a result
of the special retirement program, Phoenix recorded an additional pension
expense of $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the non-qualified plan was not funded and had
projected benefit obligations of $72.3 million and $57.2 million,
respectively. The accumulated benefit obligations as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 related to this plan were $60.1 million and $48.4 million,
respectively, and are included in other liabilities.
Phoenix recorded, as a reduction of equity, an additional minimum pension
liability of $7.7 million and $6.2 million, net of income taxes, at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing the excess of accumulated
benefit obligations over the fair value of plan assets and accrued pension
liabilities for the non-qualified plan. Phoenix has also recorded an
intangible asset of $11.7 million and $16.2 million as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 related to the non-qualified plan.

The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation was 7.5% and 7.0% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The discount rate assumption for 1999 was determined based on
a study that matched available high quality investment securities with the
expected timing of pension liability payments. The rate of increase in
future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value
of the projected benefit obligation was 4.5% and 4.0% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on retirement plan
assets was 8.0% in 1999 and 1998.
The assets within the pension plan include corporate and government debt
securities, equity securities, real estate, venture capital partnerships,
and shares of mutual funds.
Phoenix also sponsors savings plans for its employees and agents that are
qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). Employees and agents
may contribute a portion of their annual salary, subject to certain
limitations, to the plans. Phoenix contributes an additional amount, subject
to limitation, based on the voluntary contribution of the employee or agent.
Company contributions charged to expense with respect to these plans during
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $4.0 million, $4.1
million and $3.8 million, respectively.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
In addition to Phoenix's pension plans, Phoenix currently provides certain
health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees, spouses and
other eligible dependents through various plans sponsored by Phoenix. A
substantial portion of Phoenix's employees may become eligible for these
benefits upon retirement. The health care plans have varying copayments and
deductibles, depending on the plan. These plans are unfunded.
Phoenix recognizes the costs and obligations of postretirement benefits
other than pensions over the employees' service period ending with the date
an employee is fully eligible to receive benefits.

ended December 31, were as follows:

</TABLE>
The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.5% and 7.0% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
For purposes of measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
the health care costs were assumed to increase 7.5% and 8.5% in 1999 and
1998, respectively, declining thereafter until the ultimate rate of 5.5% is
reached in 2002 and remains at that level thereafter.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend
rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by $4.3 million and the annual service and
interest cost by $0.6 million, before income taxes. Decreasing the assumed
health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would
decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $4.1 million
and the annual service and interest cost by $0.5 million, before income
taxes. Gains and losses that occur because actual experience differs from
the estimates are amortized over the average future service period of
employees.
OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Phoenix recognizes the costs and obligations of severance, disability and
related life insurance and health care benefits to be paid to inactive or
former employees after employment but before retirement. Other
postemployment benefit expenses were $0.5 million for 1999, ($0.5) million
for 1998 and $0.4 million for 1997.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Phoenix offers a wide range of financial products and services. These
businesses have been grouped into three reportable segments.
The Individual segment includes the individual life insurance and annuity
products including participating whole life, universal life, variable life,
term life and variable annuities.
The Investment Management segment includes retail and institutional mutual
fund management and distribution including open-end funds, closed-end funds
and wrap accounts.
Corporate and Other contains several smaller subsidiaries and investment
activities which do not meet the thresholds of reportable segments as
defined in SFAS No. 131. They include venture capital investments,
international operations, trust operations and other investments.
The majority of Phoenix's revenue is derived in the United States. Revenue
derived from outside the United States is not material and revenue derived
from any single customer does not exceed ten percent of total consolidated
revenues.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Phoenix evaluates the
performance of each operating segment based on profit or loss from
operations before income taxes and nonrecurring items. Phoenix does not
include certain nonrecurring items to the segments. They are reported as
unallocated items and include expenses associated with various lawsuits and
legal disputes, postretirement medical expenses associated with an early
retirement program and realized gains associated with the sales of
subsidiaries. See Note 8 - " Pension and Other Postretirement and
Postemployment Benefit Plans."
Included in the following tables is certain information with respect to
Phoenix's operating segments as of and for each of the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, as well as amounts not allocated to the segments
which was described previously.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix discontinued the operations of four of its business
units which in prior years had been reflected as reportable business
segments: the Reinsurance Operations, the Property and Casualty Brokerage
Operations, the Real Estate Management Operation and the Group Insurance
Operations. The discontinuation of these business units resulted from the
sale of several operations, a signed agreement to sell one of the operations
and the implementation of plans to withdraw from the remaining businesses.
REINSURANCE OPERATIONS
During 1999, Phoenix completed a comprehensive strategic review of its life
reinsurance segment and decided to exit these operations through a
combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain components into
run-off. Accordingly, Phoenix estimated sales proceeds, reinsurance premiums
and net claims run-off, resulting in the recognition of a $173 million
pre-tax loss ($113 million after-tax loss) on the disposal of life
reinsurance discontinued operations. The life reinsurance segment consisted
primarily of individual life reinsurance operations as well as group
personal accident and group health reinsurance business. The significant
components of the loss on the disposal of life reinsurance discontinued
operations in 1999 were as follows:
On August 1, 1999, Phoenix sold its individual life reinsurance operations
and certain group health reinsurance business to Employers Reinsurance
Corporation for $130 million. The transaction was structured as a
reinsurance and asset sale transaction, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $113
million. The pre-tax income from operations for the seven months prior to
disposal was $19 million.
On June 30, 1999, PM Holdings sold 100% of the common stock of Financial
Administrative Services, Inc. (FAS), its third-party administration
subsidiary, to CYBERTEK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Policy Management
Systems Corporation. Proceeds from the sale were $8.0 million for the common
stock plus $1.0 million for a covenant not-to-compete, resulting in an
after-tax gain of $2.0 million.
Phoenix retained ownership of the preferred stock of FAS, which under the
terms of the agreement, CYBERTEK will purchase in six equal annual
installments commencing March 31, 2001 through March 31, 2006. The purchase
price will be determined annually based upon earnings, but in total, will
range from a minimum of $4.0 million to a maximum of $16.0 million.
During 1999, Phoenix placed the remaining group personal accident and group
health reinsurance operations into run-off. Management has adopted a formal
plan to terminate the related treaties as early as contractually permitted
and is not entering into any new contracts. Based upon the most recent
information available, Phoenix reviewed the run-off block and estimated the
amount and timing of future net premiums, claims and expenses. Consequently,
Phoenix increased reserve estimates on the run-off block by $180 million. In
addition, as part of the exit strategy, Phoenix purchased finite aggregate
excess of loss reinsurance to further protect Phoenix from unfavorable
results in the run-off block. The finite reinsurance is subject to an
aggregate retention of $100 million on the run-off block. Phoenix may
commute the agreement at any time after September 30, 2004, subject to
automatic commutation effective September 30, 2019. Phoenix paid an initial
premium of $130 million.
The additional estimated reserves and finite reinsurance coverage are
expected to cover the run-off of the business; however, the nature of the
underlying risks is such that the claims may take years to reach the
reinsurers involved. Therefore, Phoenix expects to pay claims out of
existing estimated reserves over a number of years as the level of business
diminishes.

Additionally, certain group personal accident reinsurance business has
become the subject of disputes concerning the placement of the business with
reinsurers and the recovery of the reinsurance. This business primarily
concerns certain occupational accident reinsurance "facilities" and a
reinsurance pool (the Unicover Pool) underwritten and managed by Unicover
Managers, Inc. (Unicover). Phoenix participated as a reinsurer in the
Unicover Pool. The Unicover Pool and "facilities" were reinsured in large
part by a reinsurance facility underwritten and managed by Centaur
Underwriting Limited (Centaur) in which Phoenix also participated. Phoenix
terminated its participation in the Centaur facility effective October 1,
1998 and in the Unicover Pool effective March 1, 1999. However, claims
arising from business underwritten while Phoenix was a participant continue
to run off. On September 21, 1999, Phoenix initiated arbitration proceedings
seeking to rescind certain contracts arising from its participation in the
Centaur facility with respect to reinsurance of the Unicover business. In
January 2000, Phoenix settled two Unicover-related matters (see Note 21 -
"Subsequent Events"). A substantial portion of the risk associated with the
Unicover Pool and "facilities" and the Centaur program was further
retroceded by Phoenix to other unaffiliated insurance entities, providing
Phoenix with significant security. Certain of these retrocessionaires have
given notice that they challenge their obligations under their contracts and
are in arbitration or litigation with Phoenix.
Additionally, certain group personal accident excess of loss reinsurance
contracts created in the London market during 1994 - 1997 have become the
subject of disputes concerning the placement of the business with reinsurers
and the recovery of reinsurance. Several arbitration proceedings are
currently pending.
Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute
resolution proceedings, and the expected long term development of net claims
payments, the estimated amount of the loss on disposal of life reinsurance
discontinued operations may differ from actual results. However, it is
management's opinion, after consideration of the provisions made in these
financial statements, as described above, that future developments will not
have a material effect on Phoenix's consolidated financial position.
PROPERTY AND CASUALTY BROKERAGE OPERATIONS
On July 1, 1999, PM Holdings sold its property and casualty brokerage
business to Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton Company (HRH) for $48.1 million
including $0.2 million for a covenant not-to-compete. Total proceeds
consisted of $32.0 million in convertible debentures, $15.9 million for
865,042 shares of HRH common stock, valued at $18.38 per share on the sale
date, and $0.2 million in cash. The pre-tax gain realized on the sale was
$40.1 million. The HRH common stock is classified as common stock and the
convertible debentures are classified as bonds in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. As of December 31, 1999 Phoenix owns 7% of the outstanding HRH common
stock, 15% on a diluted basis.
REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
On March 31, 1999, Phoenix sold its real estate management subsidiary,
Phoenix Realty Advisors, to Henderson Investors International Holdings, B.V.
for $7.9 million in cash. The pre-tax gain realized on this transaction was
$7.1 million.

GROUP INSURANCE OPERATIONS
On December 9, 1999, Phoenix signed a definitive agreement to sell its Group
Life and Health business, including five companies, Phoenix American Life,
Phoenix Dental Services, Phoenix Group Services, California Benefits and
Clinical Disability Management, to GE Financial Assurance Holdings, Inc.
Proceeds from the sale are estimated to be $285 million, including cash of
$240 million and 3.1% of the common stock of GE Life and Annuity Assurance
Company. Phoenix expects the transaction to be completed in the second
quarter of 2000, subject to regulatory approval.
The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been excluded
from the assets and liabilities of continuing operations and separately
identified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Net assets of the discontinued
operations totaled $187.6 million and $283.8 million as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Asset and liability balances of the continuing
operation as of December 31, 1998, have been restated to conform with the
current year presentation. Likewise, the Consolidated Statement of Income,
Comprehensive Income and Equity has been restated for 1998 and 1997 to
exclude the operating results of discontinued operations from continuing
operations. The operating results of discontinued operations and the gain or

12. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, consisting primarily of
office buildings occupied by Phoenix, are stated at depreciated cost. Real
estate occupied by Phoenix was $101.7 million and $106.7 million at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Phoenix provides for depreciation using
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets which generally range from five to forty years. Accumulated
depreciation and amortization was $182.3 million and $161.2 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Rental expenses for operating leases, principally with respect to buildings,
amounted to $16.3 million, $16.9 million and $16.9 million in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively, for continuing operations. Future minimum rental
payments under non-cancelable operating leases for continuing operations
were approximately $40.2 million as of December 31, 1999, payable as
follows: 2000 - $13.5 million; 2001 - $10.5 million; 2002 - $7.3 million;
2003 - $5.1 million; 2004 - $2.8 million; and $1.0 million thereafter.
13. DIRECT BUSINESS WRITTEN AND REINSURANCE
As is customary practice in the insurance industry, Phoenix assumes and
cedes reinsurance as a means of diversifying underwriting risk. For direct
issues, the maximum of individual life insurance retained by Phoenix on any
one life is $8 million for single life and joint first-to-die policies and
to $10 million for joint last-to-die policies, with excess amounts ceded to
reinsurers. Phoenix reinsures 80% of the mortality risk on the inforce block
of the Confederation Life business acquired on December 31, 1997, and 90% of
the mortality risk on certain new issues of term and universal life
products. In addition, Phoenix entered into a separate reinsurance agreement
on October 1, 1998 to reinsure 80% of the mortality risk on a substantial
portion of its otherwise retained individual life insurance business. In
1999, Phoenix reinsured the mortality risk on the remaining 20% of this
business. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner
consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy.

Amortized to expense during the year for 1999 includes a $6.3 million
adjustment due to worse than expected persistency in one of the variable
annuity product lines and a $6.9 million adjustment to traditional life due
to an adjustment to death claims used in determining DAC amortization.
16. MINORITY INTEREST
Phoenix's interests in Phoenix Investment Partners and PFG Holdings, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary PM Holdings, are represented by ownership of
approximately 60% and 67%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common
stock at December 31, 1999. Earnings and equity attributable to minority
shareholders are included in minority interest in the consolidated financial
statements.
17. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Other than debt securities being held-to-maturity, financial instruments
that are subject to fair value disclosure requirements (insurance contracts
are excluded) are carried in the consolidated financial statements at
amounts that approximate fair value. The fair values presented for certain
financial instruments are estimates which, in many cases, may differ
significantly from the amounts which could be realized upon immediate
liquidation. In cases where market prices are not available, estimates of
fair value are based on discounted cash flow analysis which utilize current
interest rates for similar financial instruments which have comparable terms
and credit quality.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For these short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair
value.
B-44
<PAGE>
PHOENIX HOME LIFE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEBT SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available, or quoted
market prices of comparable instruments. Fair values of private placement
debt securities are estimated using discounted cash flows that apply
interest rates currently being offered with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Phoenix's derivative instruments include interest rate swap, cap and floor
agreements, swaptions and foreign currency swap agreements. Fair values for
these contracts are based on current settlement values. These values are
based on brokerage quotes that utilize pricing models or formulas based upon
current assumptions for the respective agreements.
EQUITY SECURITIES
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted
market price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent
pricing sources or internally developed pricing models.
MORTGAGE LOANS
Fair values are calculated as the present value of scheduled payments, with
the discount based upon the Treasury rate comparable for the remaining loan
duration, plus a spread of between 130 and 800 basis points, depending on
the internal quality rating of the loan. For loans in foreclosure or
default, values were determined assuming principal recovery was the lower of
the loan balance or the estimated value of the underlying property.
POLICY LOANS
Fair values are estimated as the present value of loan interest and policy
loan repayments discounted at the ten year Treasury rate. Loan repayments
were assumed only to occur as a result of anticipated policy lapses, and it
was assumed that annual policy loan interest payments were made at the
guaranteed loan rate less 17.5 basis points. Discounting was at the ten year
Treasury rate, except for policy loans with a variable policy loan rate.
Variable policy loans have an interest rate that is reset annually based
upon market rates and therefore, book value is a reasonable approximation of
fair value.
INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
In determining the fair value of guaranteed interest contracts, a discount
rate equal to the appropriate Treasury rate, plus 150 basis points, was
assumed to determine the present value of projected contractual liability
payments through final maturity.
The fair value of deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without
life contingencies with an interest guarantee of one year or less is valued
at the amount of the policy reserve. In determining the fair value of
deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without life contingencies
with interest guarantees greater than one year, a discount rate equal to the
appropriate Treasury rate, plus 150 basis points, was used to determine the
present value of the projected account value of the policy at the end of the
current guarantee period.
Deposit type funds, including pension deposit administration contracts,
dividend accumulations, and other funds left on deposit not involving life
contingencies, have interest guarantees of less than one year for which
interest credited is closely tied to rates earned on owned assets. For such
liabilities, fair value is assumed to be equal to the stated liability
balances.

LITIGATION
Certain group personal accident reinsurance business has become the subject
of disputes concerning the placement of the business with reinsurers and the
recovery of the reinsurance (see Note 11 - "Discontinued Operations" and
Note 21 - "Subsequent Events").
19. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state
regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or
permitted by such authorities. Except for the accounting policy involving
federal income taxes described next, there were no material practices not
prescribed by the State of New York Insurance Department (the Insurance
Department), as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Phoenix's statutory
federal income tax liability is principally based on estimates of federal
income tax due. A deferred income tax liability has also been established
for estimated taxes on unrealized gains for common stock and venture capital
equity partnerships. Current New York law does not allow the recording of
deferred income taxes. Phoenix has received approval from the Insurance
Department for this practice.

Statutory surplus differs from equity reported
in accordance with GAAP for life insurance companies primarily because
policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, investment reserves are
based on different assumptions, surplus notes are not included in equity,
postretirement benefit costs are based on different assumptions and reflect
a different method of adoption, life insurance reserves are based on
different assumptions and income tax expense reflects only taxes paid or
currently payable.

20. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
In 1999, Phoenix revised the accounting for venture capital partnerships to
include unrealized capital gains and losses on investments held in the
partnerships. These gains and losses are recorded in investment income.
Opening retained earnings at December 31, 1996 has been increased by $17.6
million. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 was revised
by increasing the following balances: other invested assets by $50.6
million, deferred income taxes by $17.7 million and retained earnings by
$32.9 million. The effect on the Consolidated Statement of Income,
Comprehensive Income and Equity was an increase in net income of $12.4
million and $2.9 million for the years ended 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In 1998, Phoenix revised the accounting for partnerships involved in
leveraged lease arrangements for 1997 and 1996. Opening retained earnings at
December 31, 1995 has been increased by $7.7 million. The Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1997 was revised by increasing the
following balances: other invested assets by $18.9 million, deferred income
taxes by $6.6 million and retained earnings by $12.3 million. The effect on
the Consolidated Statement of Income, Comprehensive Income and Equity was an
increase in net income of $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the years ended
1997 and 1996, respectively.
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENT REINSURANCE
On January 21, 2000, Phoenix, in connection with its participation in the
Centaur facility, and two other companies completed a settlement agreement
with Reliance Insurance Company (Reliance) with respect to certain
reinsurance contracts covering occupational accident business reinsured by
Reliance as a Unicover-managed "facility." The Reliance business was the
largest portion of occupational accident reinsurance business underwritten
by Unicover. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Phoenix ended the
contracts for a total payment of $115.0 million.
On January 13, 2000, Phoenix and four other companies, in connection with
their participation in the Unicover Pool, completed a settlement agreement
with EBI Indemnity Company and other affiliates of the Orion Group (EBI)
with respect to certain reinsurance contracts covering occupational accident
business which EBI ceded to the Unicover Pool. These contracts represented
the largest source of premium to the Unicover Pool. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the Unicover Pool members ended the contracts for a
total payment of $43.0 million, of which Phoenix's share was approximately
$10.0 million.
Phoenix included the cost of these settlements, net of reinsurance, in its
estimate of the loss on discontinued life reinsurance operations. See Note
11 - "Discontinued Operations."

ITEM 26. NOT APPLICABLE
ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACTOWNERS
On March 31, 2000, there were 52,506 Owners of Contracts offered by
Registrant.
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
Section 723 of the New York Business Corporation Law, as made applicable to
insurance companies by Section 108 of the New York Insurance Law, provides that
a corporation may indemnify any director or officer of the corporation made, or
threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding other than one by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, whether
civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other
corporation of any type or kind, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or
intestate, served such other corporation in any capacity at the request of the
indemnifying corporation.
Article VI Section 6.1 of the by-laws of the Phoenix Home Life Mutual
Insurance Company provides: "To the full extent permitted by the laws of the
State of New York, the Company shall indemnify any person made or threatened to
be made a party to any action, proceeding or investigation, whether civil or
criminal, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director or Officer
of the Company; or serves or served another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity at the
request of the Company, and also is or was a Director or Officer of the
Company...The Company shall also indemnify any [such] person...by reason of the
fact that such person or such person's testator or intestate is or was an
employee or agent of the Company...."
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 against
such liabilities (other than the payment
C-4
<PAGE>
by the registrant of expenses 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.
