MULTI-FUNDED RETIREMENT ANNUITY POLICIES
ISSUED BY
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION
(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)
51 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10010
This prospectus describes the multi-funded retirement annuity policies
which New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation ("NYLIAC") issues. We
designed the policies primarily to assist individuals with their long-term
retirement planning needs.
This prospectus describes two types of policies: a single premium policy
and a flexible premium policy. We have discontinued sales of both types of
policies. However, we will still accept purchase payments under outstanding
policies. We will allocate purchase payments to NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I
for both types of policies issued under plans that qualify for special federal
income tax treatment. We will allocate purchase payments to the NYLIAC MFA
Separate Account II for both types of policies issued under plans that do not
qualify for special federal income tax treatment.
Prior to the date your income payments begin, you may direct that purchase
payments accumulate on a variable, fixed, or a combination variable and fixed
basis. When you decide to start receiving income payments from a policy issued
in connection with an employee plan that qualifies for special federal income
tax treatment, you may receive them on a variable, fixed, or a combination
variable and fixed basis. For a policy that is not issued in connection with an
employee retirement plan for special federal income tax treatment, you may
receive income payments on a fixed basis, and on a variable or a combination
variable and fixed basis subject to state filing and review. You also have
significant flexibility in determining the frequency and amount of each purchase
payment and the date income payments begin. You can withdraw money from your
policy before income payments begin. In certain circumstances, withdrawals may
be subject to a surrender charge and tax penalty.
Both separate accounts invest their assets in shares of the MainStay VP
Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three separate portfolios
available for investment under your policy: the MainStay VP Growth Equity
Portfolio, the MainStay VP Bond Portfolio, and the MainStay VP Cash Management
Portfolio (the "Eligible Portfolios" or the "Portfolios"). Each Investment
Division of the separate accounts invests in shares of a corresponding fund
portfolio. Your policy's value will vary in accordance with the investment
performance of the Portfolios you select. You also bear the entire investment
risk for any amounts allocated to the separate accounts.
You should read this prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference.
To learn more about the policies, you can obtain a copy of the Statement of
Additional Information ("SAI") dated May 1, 2000. The SAI has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is incorporated by reference into
this prospectus. The table of contents for the SAI appears at the end of this
prospectus. For a free copy of the SAI, you should call the Service Center that
services your policy. We have listed the phone numbers for our Service Centers
on page 10 of this prospectus.
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED
THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS IS MAY 1, 2000

(a) The sales load is based on the length of the time each purchase payment is
in the policy before it is withdrawn. The sales load percentage declines
from 7% during the first Policy Year that a purchase payment is in the
policy to 1% in the seventh Policy Year. There are a number of exceptions to
the surrender charges, including, that there is no surrender charge if the
amount withdrawn in any Policy Year is 10% or less of the policy's value at
the beginning of that Policy Year. (See "Exceptions to Surrender Charges" on
page 19.)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE FACILITATOR(R)
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SECTION CONTAINS BRIEF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE
FACILITATOR. YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE BODY OF THIS PROSPECTUS FOR MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION.
1. WHAT IS THE FACILITATOR?
Facilitator is the name of the Multi-Funded Retirement Annuity policies
offered by NYLIAC. These policies may be either single premium or flexible
premium policies. (See "The Policies" at page 16). Depending upon the type of
policy (single premium or flexible premium) and its purpose (Qualified or
Non-Qualified), you may allocate purchase payments to one or more of the
Investment Divisions of each of the Separate Accounts and the Fixed Account. The
Separate Accounts in turn invest in shares of the Fund. The policy's value will
fluctuate according to the performance of the Investment Divisions selected.
2. WHAT IS A RETIREMENT ANNUITY AND WHY MAY BENEFITS VARY?
A retirement annuity provides payments for the life of an Annuitant (or an
Annuitant and another person, the "Joint Annuitant") with a guaranteed number of
Income Payments or for a set dollar amount. In this prospectus, we refer to
annuity payments which remain the same throughout the payment period as "Fixed
Income Payments" and annuity payments which vary as "Variable Income Payments."
When you are scheduled to receive Variable Income Payments, we will use the
policy's value to purchase Annuity Units in the Common Stock Investment
Division. The amount of Variable Income Payments will increase or decrease
according to the value of the Annuity Units which reflects the performance of
that Common Stock Investment Division. Fixed Income Payments will always be the
same specified amount. (See "Income Payments" at page 23.)
3. WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE ALLOCATION ALTERNATIVES?
You can allocate your purchase payments to one or more of the following
Allocation Alternatives:
(a) Separate Accounts
Each of the Separate Accounts consists of three Investment
Divisions for single premium policies and three for flexible premium
policies.
The Investment Divisions of the Separate Accounts invest
exclusively in shares of the Fund. The Fund is a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The three Investment Divisions and their
corresponding Eligible Portfolios are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
CORRESPONDING
INVESTMENT DIVISION ELIGIBLE PORTFOLIO
------------------- -------------------------------------
<S> <C>
Common Stock Division MainStay VP Growth Equity Portfolio
Bond Division MainStay VP Bond Portfolio
Money Market Division MainStay VP Cash Management Portfolio
</TABLE>
When you allocate a purchase payment to one of the Investment
Divisions, the Separate Account will invest your payment exclusively in
shares of the corresponding Eligible Portfolio of the Fund. For
Non-Qualified Policies, the Common Stock Investment Division is not
available in New York.
(b) Fixed Account
Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account will reflect a
fixed interest rate. (See "The Fixed Account" at page 26.)
4. CAN AMOUNTS BE TRANSFERRED AMONG THE ALLOCATION ALTERNATIVES?
You can transfer all or part of your Accumulation Unit value between
Investment Divisions or from the Investment Divisions to the Fixed Account at
least 30 days before the date Income Payments are scheduled to begin. The
minimum amount you can transfer generally is $1,000 for single premium policies
or $500 for flexible premium policies. We reserve the right to limit the number
of transfers to no more than four in any one Policy Year. (See "Transfers" at
page 17.)
You may also make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Investment
Divisions, but only in certain situations. (See "The Fixed Account" at page 26.)
6
<PAGE> 11
5. WHAT CHARGES ARE ASSESSED AGAINST THE POLICY?
The policies are also subject to a daily charge for certain mortality and
expense risks NYLIAC assumes. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25%
of the daily net asset value of the applicable Separate Account. (See "Other
Charges" at page 19.)
For single premium policies, there is no annual charge for policy services
or daily charges for administrative services.
For flexible premium policies, we will deduct an annual charge for policy
services once each year on the Policy Anniversary if on that date the total cash
value is below $10,000. This charge will be the lesser of $30 or 1% of the
policy's value at the end of the Policy Year. In addition, we will deduct a
daily charge for administrative services equal to .50%, on an annual basis, of
the daily asset value of the applicable Separate Account. (See "Other Charges"
at page 19.)
We also impose a surrender charge on partial withdrawals or surrenders of
the policies. This charge is assessed as a percentage of the amount withdrawn or
surrendered. For single premium policies, we keep track of each purchase payment
and assess a charge based on the length of time such payment is in your policy
before it is withdrawn. You may make up to four additional purchase payments
each Policy Year on a single premium policy. The surrender charge is 7% of the
amount withdrawn or surrendered during the first Policy Year that a purchase
payment is in your policy. The surrender charge declines 1% for each additional
Policy Year that a purchase payment is in your policy, as shown in the following
chart:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
POLICY YEAR OF PURCHASE PAYMENT SURRENDER CHARGE
- ------------------------------- ----------------
<S> <C>
1 .......................................................... 7%
2 .......................................................... 6%
3 .......................................................... 5%
4 .......................................................... 4%
5 .......................................................... 3%
6 .......................................................... 2%
7 .......................................................... 1%
8 and later................................................. 0%
</TABLE>
For purposes of calculating the surrender charge, we treat withdrawals as
coming from the oldest purchase payment first (on a first-in, first-out basis).
For flexible premium policies, the surrender charge is 7% of the amount
withdrawn or surrendered during the first four Policy Years. The surrender
charge declines 1% for each Policy Year until the tenth Policy Year. There is no
charge after the tenth Policy Year, as shown in the following chart:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
POLICY YEAR SURRENDER CHARGE
- ----------- ----------------
<S> <C>
1-4 ........................................................ 7%
5 .......................................................... 6%
6 .......................................................... 5%
7 .......................................................... 4%
8 .......................................................... 3%
9 .......................................................... 2%
10 ......................................................... 1%
11 and later................................................ 0%
</TABLE>
(See "Surrender Charges" at page 18 and "Exceptions to Surrender Charges" at
page 19.)
Charges will also be deducted for options such as the Total Disability
Benefit Rider (see page 17).
Finally, the value of the Fund shares reflects management fees,
administration fees and other expenses deducted from the assets of the Fund.
(See the Fund prospectus for details.)
6. WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PAYMENTS?
You can make additional purchase payments under a Non-Qualified or
Qualified single premium policy of at least $2,000. We may limit additional
purchase payments to four in any one Policy Year.
7
<PAGE> 12
For a flexible premium policy, you can make purchase payments of at least
$40 each at any time. You have a choice of sending purchase payments directly to
NYLIAC or through pre-authorized monthly deductions from bank checking accounts
and employee payroll deductions. For Non-Qualified flexible premium policies,
the maximum purchase payments we accept in each Policy Year (excluding any
amounts for riders) is the greater of (a) twice the purchase payments scheduled
to be paid in the first Policy Year, or (b) $7,500. In effect, you set the
maximum payment when you apply for the policy. However, you cannot schedule
total purchase payments for the first Policy Year that exceed $4,999.
Purchase payments under Qualified flexible premium policies, and purchase
payments and additional purchase payments under Qualified single premium
policies, may not be more than the amount permitted by law for the plan.
7. HOW ARE PURCHASE PAYMENTS ALLOCATED AMONG THE ALLOCATION ALTERNATIVES?
When you make a purchase payment, you may allocate it to any of the
Allocation Alternatives (except in New York where the Common Stock Investment
Division is not available for Non-Qualified Policies.) You do not need to make
allocations to each Allocation Alternative. You may also raise or lower the
percentages (which must be in whole number percentages) that you allocate to
each Allocation Alternative when you make a purchase payment. The minimum amount
which you can allocate to any one Allocation Alternative is $1,000 for a single
premium policy and $10 for a flexible premium policy.
8. WHAT HAPPENS IF PURCHASE PAYMENTS FOR A FLEXIBLE PREMIUM POLICY ARE NOT
MADE?
If we do not receive a purchase payment for a period of two years and both
(a) the total purchase payments for the policy, less any partial withdrawals and
any surrender charges, and (b) the policy's value, are less than $2,000, we
reserve the right to terminate the policy. We will notify you in your annual
report of our intention to exercise this right on the 90th day following that
Policy Anniversary if we do not receive a purchase payment from you before the
end of that 90-day period. If we terminate your policy, we will pay you the
policy's value in one lump sum.
9. CAN I WITHDRAW MONEY FROM THE POLICY BEFORE MY INCOME PAYMENTS ARE
SCHEDULED TO BEGIN?
You may make withdrawals from your policy before your Income Payments are
scheduled to begin and while the Annuitant is alive. Your withdrawal requests
must be in a form that is acceptable to us. Under most circumstances, the
minimum partial withdrawal is $100. Withdrawals may be subject to a surrender
charge. In addition, you may have to pay income tax and a 10% penalty tax may
apply if you are under the age of 59 1/2. (See "Distributions Under the Policy"
at page 21 and "Federal Tax Matters" at page 27.)
10. HOW WILL INCOME PAYMENTS BE MADE?
Income Payments under Qualified Policies can be either variable, fixed, or
a combination of both. Income Payments under Non-Qualified Policies can be
received on a fixed basis and, subject to state filing and review, on a variable
basis or a combination of both. In either case, you select the type of payments.
Fixed Income Payments will always be in the same specified amount. The
amount of Variable Income Payments will increase or decrease according to the
performance of the Common Stock Investment Division. (See "Income Payments" at
page 23.)
11. WHAT IF THE ANNUITANT BECAME TOTALLY DISABLED?
If you have a Total Disability Benefit rider included in your flexible
premium policy, we will credit benefit amounts as purchase payments to your
policy during the period of the Annuitant's total disability. There is an
additional charge for this rider. (See "Total Disability Benefit Rider" at page
17.)
12. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ANNUITANT DIES BEFORE INCOME PAYMENTS BEGIN?
If the Annuitant dies before Income Payments begin, we will pay the
Beneficiary under the policy an amount equal to the greater of:
(a) the policy's value or
(b) the total of all purchase payments made, less any partial
withdrawals, surrender charges, and premium amounts paid for riders.
8
<PAGE> 13
However, if you are the Annuitant and your spouse is the Beneficiary and
Contingent Annuitant, see Questions & Answers 13 & 14. (Also see "Death Before
Retirement Date" at page 22 and "Federal Tax Matters" at page 27.)
13. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DIE BEFORE INCOME PAYMENTS BEGIN?
In the event you die before Income Payment begins, we will pay the
Beneficiary under the policy an amount equal to the greater of:
(a) the policy's value or
(b) the total of all purchase payments made, less any partial
withdrawals, surrender charges, and premium amounts paid for riders.
If you are not the Annuitant but your spouse is the Beneficiary, or if your
spouse or the Annuitant's spouse is the Beneficiary and Contingent Annuitant, we
can pay the proceeds to the surviving spouse on your death prior to the date
Income Payments are scheduled to begin. The surviving spouse can also choose to
continue as the new policy owner. (See "Death Before Retirement Date" at page 22
and "Federal Tax Matters" at page 27.)
14. WHAT IS A CONTINGENT ANNUITANT?
Previously, in the application for a Non-Qualified Policy, you could name a
Contingent Annuitant. The Contingent Annuitant, who generally must be the spouse
of the Annuitant, is the person who becomes the new Annuitant at the death of
the Annuitant if (a) Income Payments have not begun and (b) you are still
living. Currently, the policies do not provide for the naming of Contingent
Annuitants.
15. WHAT ABOUT VOTING RIGHTS?
You can instruct NYLIAC how to vote shares of the Funds in which you have a
voting interest through the Separate Accounts. (See "Voting Rights" at page 29.)
16. HOW IS THE PAST INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
CALCULATED?
We may advertise yields and total returns for the Investment Divisions. In
addition, we may advertise the effective yield of the Money Market Investment
Divisions. We base these figures on historical information for various periods
of time measured from the date the Investment Division commenced operations.
They are not intended to indicate future performance.
YIELDS. The yield of the Money Market Investment Divisions refers to the
annualized income generated by an investment in that Investment Division over a
specified seven-day period. We calculate the yield by assuming that the income
generated for that seven-day period is generated each seven-day period over a
52-week period. The current yield is shown as a percentage of the investment. We
calculate the effective yield similarly but, when annualized, we assume the
income earned by an investment in the Money Market Investment Division is
reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield because
of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The yield of a Bond Investment Division refers to the annualized income
generated by an investment in the Bond Investment Division over a specified
thirty-day period. We calculate the yield by assuming that the income generated
by the investment during that thirty-day period is generated each thirty-day
period over a 12-month period. The current yield is shown as a percentage of the
investment.
The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any surrender charge
that may be applicable to a particular policy. To the extent that the surrender
charge is applicable to a particular policy, the yield of that policy will be
reduced. For additional information regarding the yield calculations, please
refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. The total return of a Bond or Common Stock
Investment Division refers to return quotations assuming an investment has been
held in the Bond or Common Stock Investment Division for various periods of time
including, but not limited to, one year, five years, ten years and a period
measured from the date the Investment Division commenced operations. The total
return quotations will represent the average annual compounded rates of return,
assuming an initial investment of $1,000 is surrendered at the end of the
periods shown. The figures will reflect all Separate Account and Fund annual
expenses.
9
<PAGE> 14
We may from time to time also calculate average annual total return and
cumulative total return for the Investment Divisions that does not reflect the
deduction of any surrender charges. We may from time to time also calculate
yields, standard total returns, and non-standard total returns for the
Portfolios of the MainStay VP Series Fund, but only if the performance data for
the Portfolios is accompanied by comparable data for the corresponding
Investment Division in equal prominence.
We will show non-standard performance data only if the standard performance
data for the same period, as well as for the required periods, are also shown.
For additional information regarding the calculation of other performance data,
please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
17. HOW DO I CONTACT NYLIAC?

New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation ("NYLIAC") is a stock life
insurance company incorporated in Delaware in 1980. NYLIAC is licensed to sell
life, accident and health insurance and annuities in the District of Columbia
and all states. In addition to the policies we describe in this prospectus,
NYLIAC offers other life insurance policies and annuities.
NYLIAC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company
("New York Life"), a mutual life insurance company doing business in New York
since 1845. NYLIAC held assets of $29.669 billion at the end of 1999. New York
Life has invested in NYLIAC, and will occasionally make additional contributions
to NYLIAC to the extent necessary to maintain capital and surplus in accordance
with state requirements.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Each of the Separate Accounts was established in May 1983, pursuant to
resolutions of the NYLIAC Board of Directors. The Separate Accounts are
registered as unit investment trusts with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Securities and Exchange
Commission, however, does not supervise the management, or the investment
practices or policies, of the Separate Accounts.
Although the assets of each of the Separate Accounts belong to NYLIAC,
these assets are held separately from our other assets. The Separate Account
assets are not chargeable with liabilities incurred in any of NYLIAC's other
business operations (except to the extent that assets in the Separate Accounts
exceed the reserves and other liabilities of that Separate Account). The income,
capital gains and capital losses incurred on the assets of each Separate Account
is credited to or charged against the assets of that Separate Account, without
regard to the income, capital gains or capital losses arising out of any other
business NYLIAC may conduct. Therefore, the investment performance of the
Separate Accounts is entirely independent of both the investment performance of
the Fixed Account and any other separate account of NYLIAC.
Each of the Separate Accounts consists of three Investment Divisions for
flexible premium policies and three for single premium policies. Premium
payments allocated to the Investment Divisions are invested solely in the
corresponding Eligible Portfolios of the Fund. The Eligible Portfolios are the
MainStay VP Growth Equity Portfolio, the MainStay VP Bond Portfolio and the
MainStay VP Cash Management Portfolio.
THE PORTFOLIOS
The assets of each Eligible Portfolio are separate from the others and each
such Portfolio has different investment objectives and policies. As a result,
each Eligible Portfolio operates as a separate investment fund and the
investment performance of one Portfolio has no effect on the investment
performance of any other Portfolio. Portfolios described in this prospectus are
different from portfolios available to the general public. Investment results
may differ.
WE OFFER NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY OF THE ELIGIBLE PORTFOLIOS WILL ATTAIN THEIR
RESPECTIVE STATED OBJECTIVES.
The Fund's shares are also available to certain separate accounts funding
variable life insurance policies offered by NYLIAC. This is called "mixed
funding". Although we do not anticipate any inherent difficulties arising from
mixed funding, it is theoretically possible that, due to differences in tax
treatment or other considerations, the interest of owners of various contracts
participating in the Fund might at some time be in conflict. The Board of
Directors of the Fund, the Fund's investment advisers, and NYLIAC are required
to monitor events to identify any material conflicts that arise from the use of
the Fund for mixed funding. For more information about the risks of mixed
funding, please refer to the Fund prospectus.
The Eligible Portfolios, along with their investment advisers, are listed
in the following table:

concerning the allocation of purchase payments to an Investment Division
corresponding to a particular Eligible Portfolio.
ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR SUBSTITUTIONS OF INVESTMENTS
NYLIAC retains the right, subject to any applicable law, to make additions
to, deletions from, or substitutions for, the Eligible Portfolio shares held by
any Investment Division. NYLIAC reserves the right to eliminate the shares of
any of the Eligible Portfolios and to substitute shares of another portfolio of
the Fund, or of another registered open-end management investment company. We
may do this if the shares of the Eligible Portfolios are no longer available for
investment, or, if we believe, investment in any Eligible Portfolio would become
inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Separate Accounts. To the extent
required by law, substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in an
Investment Division will not be made until you have been notified of the change.
This does not prevent the Separate Accounts from purchasing other securities for
other series or classes of policies, or from processing a conversion between
series or classes of policies on the basis of requests made by policy owners.
We may establish additional Investment Divisions for each of the Separate
Accounts. Each additional Investment Division will purchase shares in a new
portfolio of the Fund or in another mutual fund. We may establish new Investment
Divisions, in our sole discretion, due to marketing, tax, investment or other
conditions. We will make any new Investment Divisions available to existing
policy owners on a basis we determine. We may also eliminate one or more
Investment Divisions, if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or
other conditions so warrant.
In the event of any substitution or change, NYLIAC may, by appropriate
endorsement, make such changes in the policies to reflect such substitution or
change. We also reserve the right to: (a) operate the Separate Account as a
management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (b) deregister it
under such Act in the event such registration is no longer required, (c) combine
the Separate Account with one or more other separate accounts, and (d) restrict
or eliminate the voting rights of persons having voting rights as to the
Separate Accounts, as permitted by law.
REINVESTMENT
All dividends and capital gain distributions from Eligible Portfolios are
automatically reinvested in shares of the distributing Portfolio at their net
asset values on the payable date.
THE POLICIES
PURPOSE OF POLICIES
The policies are variable. This means that to the extent amounts under the
policies are allocated to the Investment Divisions, the policy's value will
fluctuate based on the performance of the Investment Divisions you select.
NYLIAC does not guarantee the performance of the Separate Accounts or of the
Fund, and you bear the entire investment risk with respect to amounts allocated
to the Investment Divisions. We provide no assurance that the investment
objectives of the Investment Divisions will be achieved. Accordingly, amounts
you allocate to the Investment Divisions are subject to the risks inherent in
the securities markets and, specifically, to price fluctuations of the shares of
the Fund.
We designed the policies described in this prospectus primarily to
establish retirement benefits for two types of purchasers.
The first type of purchaser is one, other than those described below, who
purchases a policy to provide supplemental retirement income. Policies purchased
by these individuals are referred to as "Non-Qualified Policies."
The second type of purchaser is one who is eligible to participate in, and
purchases a policy for use with, any one of the following:
(1) pension, profit sharing, or annuity plans qualified under Sections
401 and 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code):
(2) annuity purchase plans adopted by certain private tax-exempt
organizations and certain state-supported educational institutions
under certain circumstances under Section 403(b) of the Code;
(3) individual retirement annuities (IRAs) meeting the requirements of
Section 408(b) or 408(k) of the Code; or
(4) deferred compensation plans with respect to service for state and
local governments (and certain other entities) under Section 457 of
the Code.
16
<PAGE> 21
We refer to policies purchased by these individuals for use with these
plans as "Qualified Policies." (See "Federal Tax Matters" at page 27.)
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
For single premium policies, you can make up to four additional purchase
payments in any Policy Year. Each additional purchase payment must be at least
$2,000.
For flexible premium policies, you can make purchase payments of at least
$40 each at any time by any method NYLIAC makes available. The currently
available methods of payment are direct payments to NYLIAC, pre-authorized
monthly deductions from bank checking accounts and employee payroll deductions.
Although you plan a schedule of purchase payments for Non-Qualified flexible
premium policies, you can make purchase payments at any time before the date
Income Payments are scheduled to begin and while the Annuitant and the policy
owner are living. You can increase or decrease your purchase payments at any
time as long as the total amount of purchase payments for any Policy Year
(excluding any amounts for riders) are not more than the greater of (a) twice
the purchase payments scheduled to be paid in the first Policy Year or (b)
$7,500. However, you may not schedule total purchase payments for the first
Policy Year that exceed $4,999.
For Qualified Policies, the purchase payments made in any Policy Year may
not be more than the amount permitted by the plan or by law for the plan as
indicated in the application for the policy. We reserve the right to limit the
dollar amount of any purchase payment.
If we do not receive purchase payments under a flexible premium policy for
a period of two Policy Years, and both (a) the total purchase payments made,
less any partial withdrawals and any surrender charges, and (b) the policy's
value, are less than $2,000, then we may, in our sole discretion, subject to any
applicable state insurance law or regulation, cancel the policy. If we terminate
your policy, we will pay you the policy's value in one lump sum. (See
"Cancellations" at page 22.)
PAYMENTS RETURNED FOR INSUFFICIENT FUNDS
If your premium payment is returned for insufficient funds, we reserve the
right to reverse the investment options chosen and charge you a $20.00 fee for
each returned payment. In addition, the Fund may also redeem shares to cover any
losses it incurs as a result of a returned payment. If a payment is returned for
insufficient funds for two consecutive periods, the privilege to pay by check or
electronically will be suspended until you notify us to reinstate it, and we
agree.
TOTAL DISABILITY BENEFIT RIDER
If you applied for and have a Total Disability Benefit Rider included in,
and in force under, your flexible premium policy, we will credit a benefit
amount as a purchase payment for your policy when you provide proof to us that
the Annuitant has been totally disabled for at least 6 consecutive months. We
will not credit benefit amounts to the policy after Income Payments begin or, if
earlier, after the Policy Anniversary on which the Annuitant is age 65.
Currently, we are not offering this rider and the information here and in the
Statement of Additional Information relates only to existing riders.
TRANSFERS
You may transfer amounts between Investment Divisions of the same Separate
Account or to the Fixed Account, without charge at least 30 days before Income
Payments are scheduled to begin. The minimum amount that may be transferred from
one Investment Division to another Investment Division, or to the Fixed Account,
is the lesser of:
(i) $1,000 for single premium policies or $500 for flexible premium
policies or
(ii) the total value of the Accumulation Units in the Investment
Division.
17
<PAGE> 22
The remaining Accumulation Units in the Investment Division must have a
value of at least $100. If the value of the remaining Accumulation Units in an
Investment Division would be less than $100 after you make a transfer, we will
transfer the entire value unless we determine otherwise. We reserve the right to
limit the number of transfers to no more than four in any one Policy Year.
Transfers into the Fixed Account may be subject to restrictions.
Depending on state requirements, you may also make transfers from the Fixed
Account to the Investment Divisions in certain situations. (See "The Fixed
Account" at page 26.)
Transfer requests must be in writing on a form we provide. We will make
transfers from Investment Divisions based on the Accumulation Unit values at the
end of the Business Day on which we receive the transfer request. (See "Delay of
Payments" at page 25.)
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
(a) Crediting of purchase payments
You can allocate a portion of each purchase payment to one or more
Allocation Alternatives in whole number percentages, except in New York where
the Common Stock Investment Division is not available for Non-Qualified
Policies. The minimum amount that you may allocate to any one Allocation
Alternative is $1,000 for a single premium policy and $10 for a flexible premium
policy.
We credit that portion of each purchase payment you allocate to an
Investment Division to the policy in the form of Accumulation Units. We
determine the number of Accumulation Units credited to a policy by dividing the
amount allocated to each Investment Division by the Accumulation Unit value for
that Investment Division on the Business Day we receive the purchase payment.
The value of an Accumulation Unit will vary depending on the investment
experience of the Portfolio in which the Investment Division invests. The number
of Accumulation Units credited to a policy will not, however, change as a result
of any fluctuations in the value of an Accumulation Unit. (See "The Fixed
Account" at page 26 for a description of interest credited thereto.)
(b) Valuation of Accumulation Units
We expect the value of Accumulation Units to increase or decrease from one
day to the next. The value of Accumulation Units in each Investment Division
will change daily to reflect the investment experience of the corresponding
Portfolio as well as the daily deduction of the Separate Account charges (and
any charges or credits for taxes). The Statement of Additional Information
contains a detailed description of how the Accumulation Units are valued.
POLICY OWNER INQUIRIES
Your inquiries should be addressed to the Service Center that services your
policy. (See page 10.)
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
SURRENDER CHARGES
Since no deduction for a sales charge is made from purchase payments, we
impose a surrender charge on certain partial withdrawals and surrenders of the
policies. We measure the surrender charge as a percentage of the amount
withdrawn or surrendered. The surrender charge may apply to certain Income
Payment options.
If you surrender your policy, we deduct the surrender charge from the
amount paid to you. In the case of a partial withdrawal, we deduct surrender
charges from the remaining value of the Allocation Alternatives from which the
partial withdrawals are made. If the remaining value in an Allocation
Alternative is less than the necessary surrender charge, we deduct the remainder
of the charge from the amount withdrawn from that Allocation Alternative.
For single premium policies, we keep track of each purchase payment and
assess a charge based on the length of time such payment is in your policy
before it is withdrawn. You may make up to four additional purchase payments
each Policy Year on a single premium policy. The surrender charge is 7% of the
amount withdrawn or surrendered during the first Policy Year that a purchase
payment is in your policy. The surrender
18
<PAGE> 23
charge declines 1% for each additional Policy Year that a purchase payment is in
your policy, as shown in the following chart:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
POLICY YEAR OF PURCHASE PAYMENT SURRENDER CHARGE
------------------------------- ----------------
<S> <C>
1........................................................... 7%
2........................................................... 6%
3........................................................... 5%
4........................................................... 4%
5........................................................... 3%
6........................................................... 2%
7........................................................... 1%
8 and later................................................. 0%
</TABLE>
Under a single premium policy, for purposes of calculating the surrender
charge, we treat withdrawals as coming from the value attributable to the oldest
purchase payment first (on a first-in, first-out basis). Therefore, surrender
charges may apply to any earnings on those purchase payments.
For flexible premium policies, the surrender charge is 7% of the amount
withdrawn or surrendered during the first four Policy Years. The surrender
charge then declines 1% for each Policy Year until the tenth Policy Year so that
there is no charge after the tenth Policy Year, as shown in the following chart:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
EXCEPTIONS TO SURRENDER CHARGES
We will not assess a surrender charge:
(a) under a single premium policy, on amounts you withdraw in any one
Policy Year which do not exceed 10% of the policy's value at the beginning
of that Policy Year (the amount that may be withdrawn under this exception
may be limited by prior transfers from the Fixed Account to the Investment
Division) (See "The Fixed Account" at page 26);
(b) when you make a withdrawal or surrender of at least $2,000 and the
entire amount is applied under certain Income Payment options in the policy
(however, if within seven years after the Policy Date, in the case of
single premium policies, or ten years after the Policy Date, in the case of
flexible premium policies, any unpaid amount applied under such Income
Payment option is withdrawn, a surrender charge will be applied to the
amount withdrawn) (See "Income Payments" at page 23);
(c) if NYLIAC cancels the policy;
(d) when we pay proceeds upon the death of the policy owner or the
Annuitant; and
(e) if the aggregate surrender charges under a policy will exceed 8.5%
of the total purchase payments.
In addition, we will not assess a surrender charge to withdrawals from the Fixed
Account in situations described under "The Fixed Account" at page 26.
OTHER CHARGES
(a) Mortality and Expense Risk Charges
Prior to the date Income Payments are scheduled to begin, NYLIAC imposes
risk charges to compensate it for bearing certain mortality and expense risks
under the policies. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the
average daily net asset value of the applicable Separate Account and is deducted
daily. We guarantee that these charges will not increase. If these charges are
insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks, the loss will fall on
NYLIAC. If the charges are more than sufficient, we will add any excess to
19
<PAGE> 24
our general funds. We may use these funds for any corporate purpose, including
expenses relating to the sale of the policies, to the extent that surrender
charges do not adequately cover sales expenses.
The mortality risk assumed is the risk that Annuitants as a group will live
for a longer time than our actuarial tables predict. As a result, we would be
paying more Income Payments than we planned. We also assume a risk that the
mortality assumptions reflected in our guaranteed annuity payment tables, shown
in each policy, will differ from actual mortality experience. Lastly, we assume
a mortality risk that, at the time of death, the guaranteed minimum death
benefit will exceed the policy's Accumulation Value. The expense risk assumed is
the risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies will exceed the
amount we charge for these services.
(b) Administration Fee
Prior to the date Income Payments are scheduled to begin for flexible
premium policies, we impose an administration fee to cover the cost of providing
policy administration services. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to
.50% of the average daily net asset value of the applicable Separate Account.
This charge is intended to offset the additional administrative service expenses
of flexible premium policies, including: (i) processing changes in future
purchase payment allocations, (ii) providing purchase payment histories and the
appropriate unit valuations associated with those purchase payments and (iii)
providing policy owners with the more extensive annual notices and other notices
required for many flexible premium policies. Larger flexible premium policies
may bear a portion of the cost of administering smaller flexible premium
policies because the charge deducted for administrative expenses is a percentage
of net asset value.
(c) Policy Service Charge
For flexible premium policies, we deduct an annual policy service charge
each Policy Year on the Policy Anniversary if on that date the policy's value is
less than $10,000. This charge is the lesser of $30 or 1% of the policy's value
at the end of the Policy Year or on the date of surrender, whichever is
applicable. We deduct the annual policy service charge from each Allocation
Alternative in proportion to its percentage of the policy's value on the Policy
Anniversary. This charge covers the costs for providing services under the
policy such as collecting, processing and confirming purchase payments and
establishing and maintaining the available methods of payment.
(d) Fund Charges
The value of the assets of the Separate Accounts will indirectly reflect
the Fund's total fees and expenses. The Fund's total fees and expenses are not
part of the policy. They may vary in amount from year to year. These fees and
expenses are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus and/or Statement of
Additional Information.
TAXES
NYLIAC may, where premium taxes are imposed by state law, deduct such taxes
from your policy either (i) when a purchase payment is received, (ii) when a
surrender or cancellation occurs, or (iii) when Income Payments begin.
Applicable premium tax rates depend upon such factors as your current state of
residency, and the insurance laws and NYLIAC's status in states where premium
taxes are incurred. Current premium tax rates range from 0% to 3.5%. Applicable
premium tax rates are subject to change by legislation, administrative
interpretations or judicial acts.
Under present laws, NYLIAC will also incur state and local taxes (in
addition to the premium taxes described above) in several states. At present,
these taxes are not significant. If they increase, however, NYLIAC may make
charges for such taxes.
NYLIAC does not expect to incur any federal income tax liability
attributable to investment income or capital gains retained as part of the
reserves under the policies. (See "Federal Tax Matters" at page 27.) Based upon
these expectations, no charge is being made currently for corporate federal
income taxes which may be attributable to the Separate Accounts. Such a charge
may be made in future years for any federal income taxes NYLIAC incurs.
20
<PAGE> 25
DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE POLICY
SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS
You can make partial withdrawals, periodic partial withdrawals, hardship
withdrawals or surrender the policy to receive part or all of the policy's
value, at any time before Income Payments begin and while the Annuitant is
living, by sending a written request to NYLIAC. The amount available for
withdrawal is the policy's value on the Business Day on which we receive the
surrender or withdrawal request (except in the case of periodic partial
withdrawals, for which the amount available for withdrawal is the policy's value
on the established periodic partial withdrawal request date) less any surrender
charges, any applicable policy fee and any premium taxes required by law to be
deducted. If you have not provided us with a written election not to withhold
federal income taxes at the time you make a withdrawal or surrender request,
NYLIAC must by law withhold such taxes from the taxable portion of any surrender
or withdrawal. We will remit that amount to the federal government. In addition,
some states have enacted legislation requiring withholding. We will pay all
surrenders or withdrawals within seven days of receipt of all documents
(including documents necessary to comply with federal and state tax law) in
connection with a withdrawal request or of the periodic partial withdrawal
request date, subject to postponement in certain circumstances. (See "Delay of
Payments" at page 25.)
Since you assume the investment risk with respect to amounts allocated to
the Separate Accounts and because certain surrenders or withdrawals are subject
to a surrender charge and premium tax deduction, the total amount paid upon
surrender of the policy (taking into account any prior withdrawals) may be more
or less than the total purchase payments made.
Surrenders and withdrawals may be taxable transactions, and the Internal
Revenue Code provides that a 10% penalty tax may be imposed on certain early
surrenders or withdrawals. (See "Federal Tax Matters--Taxation of Annuities in
General" at page 27.)
(a) Surrenders
We will deduct a surrender charge and any premium tax required by law, if
applicable, from the amount paid. We will pay the proceeds to you in a lump sum
unless you elect a different Income Payment method. (See "Income Payments" at
page 23.)
(b) Partial Withdrawals
The minimum amount that can be withdrawn is $100. The amount will be
withdrawn from the Allocation Alternatives in accordance with your request.
If a requested partial withdrawal is greater than the value in the
Allocation Alternative from which you make the withdrawal, we will pay the
entire value of that Allocation Alternative, less any surrender charge that may
apply. You must tell us how to allocate a partial withdrawal among the
Allocation Alternatives.
(c) Periodic Partial Withdrawals
You may arrange for periodic partial withdrawals on a monthly, quarterly or
semi-annual basis. The surrender charge, 10% penalty tax and provisions
applicable to partial withdrawals apply to periodic partial withdrawals. (See
"Charges and Deductions" at page 18.)
Our confirmation notice will indicate when a withdrawal has resulted in the
near or actual exhaustion of money in one or more of the Allocation
Alternatives. In that connection, when a periodic partial withdrawal amount
exceeds the amount remaining in one or more of the Allocation Alternatives and
there is no indication of an alternate Allocation Alternative, we will send out
a check for less than the scheduled amount and will cease future payments until
we receive new instructions designating new Allocation Alternatives from which
we can make the withdrawal.
(d) Hardship Withdrawals
Under certain Qualified Policies, the Plan Administrator may allow, in its
sole discretion, certain withdrawals it determines to be "hardship withdrawals."
The surrender charge, 10% penalty tax and provisions applicable to partial
withdrawals apply to hardship withdrawals. For single premium policies, the
surrender charge will only be applied to any amounts withdrawn in any Policy
Year which, when added to all
21
<PAGE> 26
other withdrawals which were not subject to a surrender charge in that Policy
Year, exceed 10% of the policy's value.
CANCELLATIONS
If we do not receive any purchase payments under a flexible premium policy
for a period of two Policy Years, and both (a) the total purchase payments made,
less any partial withdrawals and any surrender charges, and (b) the policy's
value, are less than $2,000, we reserve the right to terminate your policy
subject to any applicable state insurance law or regulation.
Similarly, NYLIAC may, in its sole discretion, subject to any applicable
state insurance law or regulation, cancel single premium policies that have a
policy value of less than $2,000. We may pay the policy's value to you in one
lump sum.
We will notify you in your annual report of our intention to exercise these
rights on the 90th day following that Policy Anniversary, unless an additional
purchase payment is received before the end of that 90-day period. If such a
cancellation occurs, we will pay you the policy's value in one lump sum.
RETIREMENT DATE
The Retirement Date is the day that Income Payments are scheduled to begin
unless you surrender the policy or we pay an amount as proceeds to the
designated Beneficiary prior to that date. You specify the Retirement Date. You
may defer the Retirement Date to any Policy Anniversary before the Annuitant
will be age 75 or to a later date agreed to by NYLIAC, provided that we receive
written notice of the request at least one month before the last selected
Retirement Date. The Retirement Date and Income Payment method for Qualified
Policies may also be controlled by endorsements, the plan, or applicable law.
DEATH BEFORE RETIREMENT DATE
If the Annuitant (which, for Non-Qualified Policies, includes any named
Contingent Annuitant who is alive at the death of the Primary Annuitant before
the Retirement Date) dies prior to the Retirement Date, we will pay an amount as
proceeds to the designated Beneficiary, as of the date we receive proof of death
and all requirements necessary to make the payment. That amount will be the
greater of:
(a) the sum of all purchase payments, less any partial withdrawals and
surrender charges made before notification of death, and less premium
amounts for any riders; or
(b) the policy's value.
This formula guarantees that the amount paid will at least equal the sum of
all purchase payments (less any partial withdrawals and surrender charges on
such partial withdrawals and premium amounts for riders). The Beneficiary may
receive the amount payable in a lump sum or under one of the Income Payment
options.
If the policy owner of a policy issued after January 18, 1985 dies before
the Retirement Date, the policy will no longer be in force and we will pay as
proceeds to the Beneficiary an amount which is the greater of "(a)" or "(b)" as
they are described above. Payment will be made in a lump sum to the Beneficiary
unless the policy owner has elected or the Beneficiary elects otherwise in a
signed written notice which gives us the information that we need. If such an
election is properly made, all or part of these proceeds will be:
(i) applied under options 1A or 1B. (See "Income Payments" at page
23.) However, we will pay any unpaid amount remaining under options 1A or
1B at the end of the five-year period following the policy owner's death in
one lump sum to the Beneficiary; or
(ii) used to purchase an immediate annuity for the Beneficiary who
will be the policy owner and Annuitant. Payments under the annuity or under
any other method of payment we make available must be for the life of the
Beneficiary, or for a number of years that is not more than the life
expectancy of the Beneficiary at the time of the policy owner's death (as
determined for federal tax purposes), and must begin within one year after
the policy owner's death.
We determine the value of the proceeds at the end of the Business Day
during which death occurs.
For policies issued after January 18, 1985, if (a) the policy owner and the
Annuitant are not the same person and the policy owner's spouse is the
Beneficiary, or (b) the policy owner and the Annuitant are the same individual
and the policy owner's spouse is the Beneficiary and the Contingent Annuitant,
we will pay the proceeds to the surviving spouse if the policy owner dies before
the Retirement Date or the surviving
22
<PAGE> 27
spouse can continue the policy as the new policy owner. Generally, we will not
issue a policy to joint owners. However, if NYLIAC makes an exception and issues
a jointly owned policy, ownership rights and privileges under the policy must be
exercised jointly and we will pay benefits under the policy upon the death of
any joint owner. (See "Federal Tax Matters--Taxation of Annuities in General" at
page 27.)
If the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant, if any, die after the Retirement
Date, NYLIAC will pay the sum required by the Income Payment option in effect.
We will make any distribution or application of policy proceeds within 7
days after NYLIAC receives all documents (including documents necessary to
comply with federal and state tax law) in connection with the event or election
that causes the distribution to take place, subject to postponement in certain
circumstances. (See "Delay of Payments" at page 25.)
INCOME PAYMENTS
(a) Election of Income Payment Options
You may select Income Payments that are either variable, fixed or a
combination of both. At any time before the Retirement Date, you may change the
Income Payment option or request any other method of payment we agree to. If an
Income Payment option is chosen which depends on the continuation of the life of
the Annuitant or of a Joint Annuitant, we may require proof of birth date before
Income Payments begin. For Income Payment options involving life income, the
actual age of the Annuitant or of a Joint Annuitant will affect the amount of
each payment. Since payments to older annuitants are expected to be fewer in
number, the amount of each annuity payment should be greater.
In the event that an Income Payment option is not selected, we will make
monthly Income Payments which will go on for as long as the Annuitant lives (10
years guaranteed even if the Annuitant dies sooner) in accordance with Income
Payment option 3A and the "Annuity Benefit" section of the policy.
Under Income Payment options involving life income, the payee may not
receive Income Payments equal to the total purchase payments if the Annuitant
dies before the actuarially predicted date of death.
For Income Payment options not involving life contingencies (options 1A,
1B, 2A, 2B or 2A-V below), NYLIAC bears no mortality risk notwithstanding the
mortality risk charge collected by NYLIAC. (See "Other Charges" at page 19.)
(b) Fixed Income Payments
You (or the Beneficiary upon your death or the death of the Annuitant prior
to the Retirement Date) may choose to have Income Payments made under any of the
Fixed Income Payment options described below:
1A. Interest Accumulation. NYLIAC credits interest (at least 3 1/2%
per year) on the money remaining under this Income Payment option. You can
withdraw this amount at any time in sums of $100 or more. We pay interest
to the date of withdrawal on sums withdrawn.
1B. Interest Payment. NYLIAC pays interest once each month (at an
effective rate of at least 3% per year), every 3 months or 6 months, or
once each year, as chosen, based on the money remaining under this Income
Payment option.
2A. Income for Elected Period. NYLIAC makes monthly Income Payments
for the number of years elected. When asked, NYLIAC will state in writing
what each Income Payment would be, if made every 3 months or 6 months, or
once each year.
2B. Income of Elected Amount. NYLIAC makes Income Payments of the
elected amount monthly, every 3 months or 6 months, or once each year, as
chosen, until all proceeds and interest have been paid. The total Income
Payments made each year must be at least 5% of the proceeds placed under
this Income Payment option. Each year NYLIAC credits interest of at least 3
1/2% on the money remaining under the Income Payment option.
3A. Life Income-Guaranteed Period. NYLIAC makes an Income Payment each
month during the lifetime of the payee. Income Payments do not change, and
are guaranteed for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years, as chosen, even if the payee
dies sooner.
23
<PAGE> 28
3B. Life Income-Guaranteed Total Amount. NYLIAC makes an Income
Payment each month during the lifetime of the payee. Income Payments do not
change, and are guaranteed until the total amount paid equals the amount
placed under this Income Payment option, even if the payee dies sooner.
3C. Life Income-Joint and Survivor. NYLIAC makes an Income Payment
each month while one or both of the two payees are living. Income Payments
do not change, and are guaranteed for 10 years, even if both payees die
sooner.
(c) Variable Income Payments
You (or the Beneficiary upon your death or the death of the Annuitant prior
to the Retirement Date) may also elect to have a portion or all of your policy's
value used to provide Income Payments under one of the Variable Income Payment
options described below:
2A-V. Income for Elected Period. NYLIAC makes monthly Income Payments
for the number of years elected. You may withdraw the current value of any
remaining Income Payments in whole or in part at any time before the
expiration of the number of years elected.
3A-V. Life Income-Guaranteed Period. NYLIAC will make an Income
Payment each month during the lifetime of the payee. NYLIAC will make
Income Payments for a guaranteed period of 5, 10, 15, or 20 years, as
elected, even if the payee dies sooner.
3C-V. Life Income-Joint and Survivor. NYLIAC will make an Income
Payment each month during the joint lifetime of two payees, and continuing
for the remaining lifetime of the survivor. NYLIAC will make Income
Payments for a guaranteed period of 10 years, even if both payees die
sooner.
(d) Value of Variable Income Payments
The value of Variable Income Payments will reflect the investment
experience of the Common Stock Investment Division. You tell us the amount of
the policy's value to apply to provide Variable Income Payments. We will
purchase Annuity Units in the Common Stock Investment Division. The amount of
Variable Income Payments will increase or decrease according to the value of the
Annuity Units which reflects the investment experience of that Common Stock
Investment Division. The annuity tables in the policy, which are used to
calculate the value of Variable Income Payments, are based on an "assumed
investment result" of 4% (3 1/2% if the policy is issued for delivery in Florida
or Texas). If the actual net investment experience exactly equals the "assumed
investment result," then the Variable Income Payments will remain the same
(equal to the first Income Payment). However, if actual investment experience
exceeds the "assumed investment result," then the Income Payments will increase.
Conversely, if actual experience is worse, the Income Payments will decrease.
If a higher "assumed investment result" were used, the first Income Payment
would be larger, but subsequent payments would increase more slowly or decrease
more quickly.
The value of all payments (both fixed and variable) will be greater for
shorter guaranteed periods than for longer guaranteed periods, and greater for
life annuities than for joint and survivor annuities, because the payments are
expected to be made for a shorter period.
We describe the method of computation of Variable Income Payments in more
detail in the Statement of Additional Information.
(e) Other Methods of Payment
If NYLIAC agrees, you (or the Beneficiary upon your death or the death of
the Annuitant prior to the Retirement Date) may choose to have Income Payments
made under some other method of payment.
A payee receiving payments under Income Payment options 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B or
2A-V may later elect (with NYLIAC's permission) to have any unpaid amount placed
under another method of payment.
If a payee dies on or after the Retirement Date, we will pay any unpaid
policy proceeds under the method of payment being used as of the date of the
payee's death. (For certain restrictions on methods of payment, see "Federal Tax
Matters" at page 27.)
24
<PAGE> 29
(f) Legal Developments Regarding Income Payments
Income Payment options involving life income are based on annuity tables
that provide the same benefit payments to men and women of the same age. In some
states, however, the use of such tables is restricted to policies affected by
the 1983 Supreme Court decision in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris. In
those states, Income Payment options involving life income will be based on
annuity tables that provide different benefit payments to men and women of the
same age, unless NYLIAC is requested to endorse the policy to use unisex
actuarial tables in order to comply with the intent of the Norris decision. If a
Policy is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement or
benefit plan, you should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, whether
the policy should be endorsed to use unisex actuarial tables.
In addition, legislation was introduced in Congress which, had it been
enacted, would have required the use of tables that do not vary on the basis of
sex for some or all annuities. Currently, several states have enacted such laws.
(g) Proof of Survivorship
We may require satisfactory proof of survival, from time to time, before we
pay any Income Payments or other benefits. We will request the proof at least 30
days prior to the next scheduled benefit payment date.
DELAY OF PAYMENTS
We will pay any amounts due from the Separate Accounts under the policy
within seven days of the date we receive all documents (including documents
necessary to comply with federal and state tax law) in connection with a request
unless:
1. The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed for other than usual
weekends or holidays, or trading on the NYSE is otherwise restricted;
2. An emergency exists as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission; or
3. The Securities and Exchange Commission permits a delay for the
protection of security holders.
For the same reasons, we may delay transfers from the Separate Accounts to
the Fixed Account.
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY
Before the date Income Payments are scheduled to begin and while the
Annuitant is living, you may change the Beneficiary by written notice to NYLIAC.
You may name one or more Beneficiaries. If prior to the date Income Payments are
scheduled to begin, (a) the Annuitant dies before you and (b) no Beneficiary for
the proceeds or for a stated share of the proceeds survives, the right to the
proceeds or shares of the proceeds passes to you. If you are the Annuitant, the
proceeds pass to your estate.
However, if the policy owner who is not the Annuitant dies before Income
Payments begin, and no Beneficiary for the proceeds or for a stated share of the
proceeds survives, the right to the proceeds or shares of the proceeds pass to
the policy owner's estate.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
Section 36.105 of the Texas Educational Code permits participants in the
Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP) to withdraw or surrender their interest
in a variable annuity contract issued under the ORP only upon:
(1) termination of employment in the Texas public institutions of higher
education,
(2) retirement, or
(3) death.
Accordingly, we will require a participant in the ORP (or the participant's
estate if the participant has died) to obtain a certificate of termination from
the employer before the policy is surrendered.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 403(b)(11)
An employee may not begin distributions attributable to salary reduction
contributions, including the earnings on these contributions, made in years
beginning after December 31, 1988 before the employee attains age of 59 1/2,
separate from service, dies or becomes disabled. An employee also may not begin
25
<PAGE> 30
distributions attributable to earnings in such years on salary reduction
accumulations held as of the end of the last year beginning before January 1,
1989 if the employee is under age 59 1/2, separates from service, dies or
becomes disabled. The plan may also provide for distribution in the case of
hardship. However, hardship distributions are limited to amounts contributed by
salary reduction. The earnings on such amounts may not be withdrawn. Even though
a distribution may be permitted under these rules (e.g. for hardship or after
separation from service), it may still be subject to a 10% penalty tax as a
premature distribution.
Under the terms of your plan you may have the option to invest in other
403(b) funding vehicles, including 403(b)(7) custodial accounts. You should
consult your plan document to make this determination.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account includes all of NYLIAC's assets except those assets
allocated to the Separate Accounts. NYLIAC has sole discretion to invest the
assets of the Fixed Account subject to applicable law. The Fixed Account is not
registered under the federal securities laws and is generally not subject to
their provisions. Furthermore, the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the
Fixed Account.
(a) Interest Crediting
NYLIAC guarantees that it will credit interest at an effective rate of at
least 4% to purchase payments or portions of purchase payments allocated or
transferred to the Fixed Account. NYLIAC may, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, credit a
higher rate of interest to the Fixed Account, or to amounts allocated or
transferred to the Fixed Account.
(b) Surrender Charges
We may apply surrender charges to withdrawals from the Fixed Account. (See
"Surrender Charges" at page 18.) In addition to the "Exceptions to Surrender
Charges" described at page 19, subject to any applicable state insurance law or
regulation, we will not impose a surrender charge on any amount withdrawn from
the Fixed Account if (a) on any Policy Anniversary the interest rate set for
that amount falls more than three percentage points below the rate which was set
for the immediately preceding Policy Year, and (b) you withdraw part or all of
that amount allocated to the Fixed Account within 60 days after that Policy
Anniversary. (For single premium policies, we make this determination
independently for each additional purchase payment or portion of each additional
purchase payment transferred to the Fixed Account on the anniversary of each
such purchase payment; for flexible premium policies, we reserve the right to
set a separate yearly interest rate and period for which this rate is guaranteed
for amounts transferred to the Fixed Account.)
(c) Transfers to Investment Divisions
Depending on state filing and review processes, we may transfer amounts
from the Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions up to 30 days prior to the
date Income Payments are scheduled to begin, subject to the following
conditions.
1. You may transfer an amount from the Fixed Account to the Investment
Divisions if, on any Policy Anniversary, the interest rate set for that
amount falls more than three percentage points below the rate which was set
for the immediately preceding Policy Year, and you make a transfer request
within 60 days after that Policy Anniversary. There is no minimum transfer
requirements under this condition.
2. For single premium policies, during the first seven Policy Years
following the purchase payment to which an amount to be transferred is
attributed, you may transfer up to 10% of the policy's value at the
beginning of the Policy Year Divisions. However, the amount you transfer
will reduce, by an equivalent amount, the total amount that you may
withdraw during that Policy Year from the policy's value under the first
exception to the imposition of surrender charges described under
"Exceptions to Surrender Charges" at page 19. In addition, any amount you
withdraw during a Policy Year under that first exception to the imposition
of a surrender charge will limit subsequent amounts that you may transfer
from the Fixed Account under this condition.
26
<PAGE> 31
3. For flexible premium policies, except as stated in (c)1 above, we
do not permit transfers from the Fixed Account during the first ten Policy
Years.
4. For single premium policies, we permit transfers of at least the
minimum amount after the first seven Policy Years following the purchase
payment to which an amount to be transferred is attributed. For flexible
premium policies, we permit transfers of at least the minimum amount after
the first ten Policy Years. The minimum amount that you may transfer from
the Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions is the lesser of (i) $1,000
for single premium policies or $500 for flexible premium policies or (ii)
the value of the Fixed Account attributed to that purchase payment for
single premium policies or the total value of the Fixed Account for
flexible premium policies. Additionally, for flexible premium policies, the
remaining value in the Fixed Account must be at least $100. If, after a
transfer, the remaining value in the Fixed Account would be less than $100,
we may include that amount in the transfer.
For both single and flexible premium policies, we reserve the right to
limit the total number of transfers to no more than four in any one Policy Year.
We also reserve the right to limit the dollar amount of any transfers. (See
"Transfers" at page 17.)
You must make transfer requests in writing on a form NYLIAC provides.
(d) General Matters
We may delay payments of any amount due from the Fixed Account. See the
policy itself for details and a description of the Fixed Account.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
INTRODUCTION
The Qualified Policies were designed for use by individuals in retirement
plans which are intended to qualify for special income tax treatment under
Sections 219, 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code"). The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the policy's value, on
Income Payments and on the economic benefit to you, the Annuitant or the
Beneficiary depends on the type of retirement plan for which the Qualified
Policy is purchased. It also depends on the tax and employment status of the
individual concerned and on NYLIAC's tax status. The following discussion
assumes that Qualified Policies are used in retirement plans that qualify for
the special federal income tax treatment described above. THE FOLLOWING
DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. This discussion is not
intended to address the tax consequences resulting from all of the situations in
which a person may be entitled to or may receive a distribution under a policy.
Any person concerned about these tax implications should consult a competent tax
adviser before making a purchase payment. This discussion is based upon our
understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made as to the
likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, this
discussion does not take into consideration any applicable state or other tax
laws except with respect to the imposition of any state premium taxes.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
The following discussion assumes that the policies will qualify as annuity
contracts for federal income tax purposes. The Statement of Additional
Information discusses such qualifications.
Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities in general. NYLIAC
believes that a policy owner generally is not taxed on increases in the value of
a policy until distribution occurs either in the form of a lump sum received by
withdrawing all or part of the policy's value (i.e., "withdrawals") or as Income
Payments under the Income Payment option elected. The exception to this rule is
that, generally, a policy owner who is not a natural person must include in
income any increase in the excess of the policy's value over the policy owner's
investment in the contract during the taxable year with respect to purchase
payments made after February 28, 1986. However, there are some exceptions to
this exception. You may wish to discuss these with your tax counsel. The taxable
portion of a distribution (in the form of an annuity or lump sum payment) is
generally taxed as ordinary income. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or
agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy's value generally will
be treated as a distribution.
In the case of a withdrawal or surrender distributed to a participant or
Beneficiary under a Qualified Policy (other than a Qualified Policy used in a
retirement plan that qualifies for special federal income tax treatment
27
<PAGE> 32
under Section 457 of the Code as to which there are special rules), a ratable
portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the
investment in the contract to the total policy value. The "investment in the
contract" generally equals the portion, if any, of any purchase payments paid by
or on behalf of an individual under a policy which is not excluded from the
individual's gross income. For policies issued in connection with qualified
plans, the "investment in the contract" can be zero. A special rule may apply to
such surrenders or withdrawals from Qualified Policies with respect to
investment in the contract as of December 31, 1986. The law requires the use of
special simplified methods to determine the taxable amount of payments that are
based in whole or in part on the Annuitant's life and that are paid from
qualified retirement plans under Section 401(a) and from qualified annuities and
Tax Sheltered Annuities under Sections 403(a) and 403(b).
Withdrawal and annuity payments generally are subject to federal income tax
withholding. However, recipients generally may elect not to have tax withheld
from distributions, except that withholding is mandatory with respect to certain
distributions from section 401(a), 403(a) and 403(b) plans.
Generally, in the case of a withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Policy before
Income Payments begin, amounts received are first treated as taxable income to
the extent that the policy's value immediately before the withdrawal exceeds the
"investment in the contract" at that time. Any additional amount withdrawn is
not taxable.
Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the Income Payment
option elected under the policy, in general, only the portion of the Income
Payment that represents the amount by which the policy's value exceeds the
"investment in the contract" will be taxed. After the investment in the policy
is recovered, the full amount of any additional Income Payments is taxable. For
Variable Income Payments, in general the taxable portion (prior to recovery of
the investment in the contract) is determined by a formula which establishes a
specific dollar amount of each Income 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. For Fixed Income Payments, in general,
there is no tax on the portion of each payment which represents the same ratio
that the "investment in the contract" bears to the total expected value of the
Income Payments for the term of the payments. However, the remainder of each
Income Payment is taxable until the recovery of the investment in the contract.
Thereafter, the full amount of each annuity payment is taxable. If death occurs
before full recovery of the investment in the contract, the unrecovered amount
may be deducted on the Annuitant's final tax return.
In the case of a distribution pursuant to a Qualified or Non-Qualified
Policy, there may be imposed a penalty tax equal to 10% of the amount treated as
taxable income. The penalty tax is not imposed in certain circumstances,
including, generally, distributions: (1) made on or after the date on which the
taxpayer is actual age 59 1/2, (2) made as a result of the policy owner's death
or disability, or (3) received in substantially equal installments as a life
annuity.
All non-qualified, deferred annuity contracts issued by NYLIAC (or its
affiliates) after October 21, 1988 to the same policy owner during any calendar
year are to be treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the
amount includible in an individual's gross income. In addition, there may be
other situations in which the Treasury Department may conclude (under its
authority to issue regulations) that it would be appropriate to aggregate two or
more annuity contracts purchased by the same policy owner. Accordingly, a policy
owner should consult a competent tax advisor before purchasing more than one
policy or other annuity contract.
A transfer of ownership of a policy, or designation of an annuitant or
other beneficiary who is not also the policy owner, may result in certain income
or gift tax consequences to the policy owner that are beyond the scope of this
discussion. A policy owner contemplating any transfer or assignment of a policy
should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential tax effects
of such a transaction.
QUALIFIED PLANS
The Qualified Policy is designed for use with several types of qualified
plans. The tax rules applicable to participants and Beneficiaries in such
qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions
of the plan itself. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain
types of contributions and distributions (including special rules for certain
lump sum distributions). Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions
in excess of specified limits, distributions prior to age 59 1/2 (subject to
certain exceptions), distributions that do not conform to specified minimum
distribution rules, aggregate distributions in excess of a specified annual
amount, and in certain other circumstances. Therefore, this discussion only
provides general information about use of the policies with the various types of
qualified plans. Policy owners
28
<PAGE> 33
and participants under qualified plans as well as Annuitants and Beneficiaries
are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under qualified
plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves,
regardless of the terms and conditions of the policy issued in connection
therewith. Policy owners under qualified plans should seek competent legal and
tax advice regarding their particular circumstances.
(a) Section 403(b) Plans. Under Section 403(b) of the Code, payments
made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to
purchase annuity policies for their employees are excludable from the gross
income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, such
payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes.
(b) Individual Retirement Annuities. Sections 219 and 408 of the Code
permit individuals or their employers to contribute to an individual
retirement program known as an "Individual Retirement Annuity" or "IRA",
including an employer-sponsored Simplified Employee Pension or "SEP" plan.
Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount
which may be contributed and deducted and the time when distributions may
commence. In addition, distributions from certain other types of qualified
plans may be placed into an Individual Retirement Annuities on a
tax-deferred basis.
(c) Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans and H.R. 10
Plans. Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit corporate employers
to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and
self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and
their employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of the
policies to provide benefits under the plans.
(d) Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457 of the Code, while not
actually providing for a qualified plan as that term is normally used,
provides for certain deferred compensation plans with respect to service
for state governments, local governments, political subdivisions, agencies,
instrumentalities and certain affiliates of such entities and tax exempt
organizations which enjoy special treatment. The policies can be used with
such plans. Under such plans, a participant may specify the form of
investment in which his or her participation will be made. Such investments
are generally owned by, and are subject to, the claims of the general
creditors of the sponsoring employer, except that Section 457 plans of
state and local governments must be held and used for the exclusive benefit
of participants and beneficiaries in a trust or annuity contract.
DISTRIBUTOR OF THE POLICIES
NYLIFE Distributors Inc. ("NYLIFE Distributors"), 51 Madison Avenue, New
York, New York 10010, is the principal underwriter and the distributor of the
policies. It is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life. The
maximum commission paid to registered representatives of broker-dealers who have
entered into dealer agreements with NYLIFE Distributors is 3 1/2% of purchase
payments or such other special arrangements, which may provide for the payment
of higher commissions to a broker-dealer in connection with sales of the
policies. Purchasers of policies will be informed prior to purchase of any
applicable special arrangement.
VOTING RIGHTS
The Fund is not required and typically does not hold routine annual
stockholder meetings. Special stockholder meetings will be called when
necessary. Not holding routine annual meetings will result in policy owners
having a lesser role in governing the business of the Fund.
To the extent required by law, the Eligible Portfolio shares held in the
Separate Accounts will be voted by NYLIAC at special shareholder meetings of the
Fund in accordance with instructions we receive from persons having voting
interests in the corresponding Investment Division. If, however, the federal
securities laws is amended, or if its present interpretation should change, and
as a result, NYLIAC determines that it is allowed to vote the Eligible Portfolio
shares in its own right, we may elect to do so.
The number of votes which are available to you will be calculated
separately for each Investment Division. That number will be determined by
applying your percentage interest, if any, in a particular Investment Division
to the total number of votes attributable to the Investment Division.
Prior to the date Income Payments are scheduled to begin, you hold a voting
interest in each Investment Division to which you have money allocated. The
number of votes which are available to you will be determined by dividing the
policy's value attributable to an Investment Division by the net asset value per
share of the applicable Eligible Portfolios.
29
<PAGE> 34
After the date Income Payments are scheduled to begin, the person receiving
Variable Income Payments has the voting interest. The number of votes will be
determined by dividing the reserve for such policy allocated to a Common Stock
Investment Division by the net asset value per share of the Growth Equity
Portfolio. The votes attributable to a policy decrease as the reserves allocated
to a Common Stock Investment Division decrease. In determining the number of
votes, fractional shares will be recognized.
The number of votes of the Eligible Portfolio which are available will be
determined as of the date established by the Fund. Voting instructions will be
solicited by written communication prior to such meeting in accordance with
procedures established by the Fund.
If we do not receive timely instructions, we will vote those shares in
proportion to the voting instructions which are received with respect to all
policies participating in that Investment Division. Voting instructions to
abstain on any item to be voted upon will be applied on a pro rata basis to
reduce the votes eligible to be cast. Each person having a voting interest in an
Investment Division will receive proxy material, reports and other materials
relating to the appropriate Eligible Portfolio.

THE POLICIES
The following provides additional information about the policies, to
supplement the description in the prospectus.
TOTAL DISABILITY BENEFIT RIDER
As described in the prospectus, the Total Disability Benefit Rider credits
benefit amounts as purchase payments if the Annuitant is totally disabled for at
least six consecutive months. No benefit amounts will be credited to the policy
after Income Payments begin or, if earlier, the Policy Anniversary on which the
Annuitant is age 65. The Annuitant is considered to be totally disabled if he or
she is unable to perform his or her own occupation. The total disability must be
caused by an injury or sickness that first occurs after the rider was issued.
However, after total disability has lasted for two years, the Annuitant will be
deemed to be totally disabled only if he or she is unable to perform any
occupation for which he or she is reasonably suited based on education, training
and work experience. NYLIAC will not credit any benefit amounts in connection
with the following disabilities: (i) those that start prior to the Annuitant's
fifth birthday; (ii) those that are caused by an intentionally self-inflicted
injury; or (iii) those that are caused by act of war.
The benefit amount for each month during a period of total disability will
be determined as follows:
(a) if total disability began 60 or more months after the rider is issued,
the amount is one-sixtieth of the basic plan premiums (purchase payments less
premium amounts paid for riders) paid or credited within the 60 months before
the disability began;
(b) if total disability starts more than 12 but within 60 months after the
rider is issued, the amount is the total of the basis plan premiums paid or
credited while the rider was in effect divided by the number of full and partial
months that the rider was in effect;
(c) if total disability began within 12 months after the rider was issued,
the amount will be the smaller of the total scheduled basic plan premiums for
the first Policy Year divided by 12 or the total basic plan premiums paid while
the rider was in effect divided by the number of full and partial months that
the rider was in effect.
However, for a flexible premium Non-Qualified Policy, the benefit amount
will never be more than $1,250 in any policy month. For a flexible premium
Qualified Policy, the benefit amount will never be more than the greater of
$2,500 in any policy month or the pro rata monthly amount permitted by law for
the applicable tax qualified plan. (See "Federal Tax Matters--Qualified Plans"
at page 28 of the prospectus.)
For Non-Qualified Policies, only total disabilities of the Annuitant are
covered. Previously, if the Contingent Annuitant became the Annuitant, the
policy owner could apply to NYLIAC to have a new rider included in the policy to
cover the Contingent Annuitant. New sales of the Total Disability Benefit Rider
have been discontinued.
VALUATION OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
Accumulation Units are valued separately for each Investment Division of
each Separate Account. The method used for valuing Accumulation Units in each
Investment Division is the same. The value of each Accumulation Unit was
arbitrarily set as of the date operations began for the Investment Division.
Thereafter, the value of an Accumulation Unit of an Investment Division for any
Business Day equals the value of an Accumulation Unit in that Investment
Division as of the immediately preceding Business Day multiplied by the "Net
Investment Factor" for that Investment Division for the current Business Day.
We determine the Net Investment Factor for each Investment Division for any
period from the close of the preceding Business Day to the close of the current
Business Day ("Valuation Period") is determined by the following formula:
(a/b) - c
Where:(a) = the result of:
(1) the net asset value per share of the Eligible Portfolio
shares held in the Investment Division determined at the end
of the current Valuation Period, plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain
distribution made by the Eligible Portfolio for shares held
in the Investment Division if the "ex-dividend" date occurs
2
<PAGE> 39
during the current Valuation Period, plus or minus (only in
the case of NYLIAC MFA Separate Account II Investment
Divisions),
(3) a charge or credit, if any, for taxes;
(b) = the net result of:
(1) the net asset value per share of the Eligible Portfolio
shares held in the Investment Division determined as of the
end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period, plus or
minus (only in the case of NYLIAC MFA Separate Account II
Investment Divisions),
(2) a charge or credit, if any, for taxes; and
(c) = a factor representing the charges deducted from the applicable
Investment Division on a daily basis. For flexible premium
policies, the factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.75% of the
daily net asset value of the Separate Accounts. For single premium
policies, the factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the
daily net asset value of the Separate Accounts.
The Net Investment Factor may be greater or less than one. Therefore, the
value of an Accumulation Unit in an Investment Division may increase or decrease
from Valuation Period to Valuation Period.
COMPUTATION OF VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
Monthly Income Payments on a variable basis are computed as follows. The
policy's value (or portion of the policy's value used to provide Variable Income
Payments) is applied under the table contained in the policy corresponding to
the payment method elected by the policy owner. This will produce a dollar
amount which is the first monthly payment.
In order to determine subsequent monthly payments, the policy is credited
with Annuity Units in the Investment Divisions of the Separate Accounts
corresponding to the Growth Equity Portfolio. The policy value you tell us to
apply to provide Variable Income Payments will be used to purchase Annuity Units
in the Common Stock Investment Division. The amount of Variable Income Payments
will increase or decrease according to the value of the Annuity Units which
reflects the investment experience of that Common Stock Investment Division. The
number of Annuity Units credited is determined by dividing the first monthly
payment by the value of one Annuity Unit on the date Income Payments begin.
Thereafter, each monthly payment is calculated by multiplying the number of
Annuity Units so credited by the value of an Annuity Unit on the last Business
Day that is at least 10 calendar days prior to the date of that monthly payment.
For Variable Income Payment options, the value of Annuity Units in the
Common Stock Investment Division is determined each Business Day by multiplying
the value of the Annuity Unit for the immediately preceding Business Day by the
product of:
(i) the Net Investment Factor for the Common Stock Investment Division
adjusted to reflect a factor of 1.25% for the mortality and expense risk
charges deducted from the Separate Account on a daily basis, and
(ii) a discount factor of .99989255 (.99990575 if the policy is issued
for delivery in Florida or Texas) to recognize the assumed investment
result. Under these policies, the assumed investment result is 4% (3 1/2%
if the policy is issued for delivery in Florida or Texas). If the Net
Investment Factor of the Common Stock Investment Division exceeds the
assumed investment result on an annual basis, monthly payments will be
increased. If the Net Investment Factor is less, monthly payments will
decrease.
CONTINGENT ANNUITANT
The Contingent Annuitant, who generally must be the spouse of the
Annuitant, is the person who becomes the Annuitant at the death of the "Primary
Annuitant" before Income Payments begin if the policy owner is still living. The
Primary Annuitant is the person named as the Annuitant in the application for a
Non-Qualified Policy.
If prior to the date Income Payments begin, while the policy owner is still
living, the Contingent Annuitant is alive at the death of the Primary Annuitant,
the proceeds of a Non-Qualified Policy will not be paid to the Beneficiary at
the death of the Primary Annuitant. Instead, the policy will continue in force
and the proceeds will be paid upon the death of the Contingent Annuitant or upon
the death of the policy owner if earlier. All policy owner rights and the
benefits provided under the policy will continue during the lifetime of the
Contingent Annuitant, as provided in the policy, as if the Contingent Annuitant
were the Annuitant, except for the Total Disability Benefit Rider. (See "Total
Disability Benefit Rider" at page 17 of the prospectus and at
3
<PAGE> 40
page 2 of this Statement of Additional Information.) After the policy is issued,
the Contingent Annuitant may be deleted but not changed.
The named Contingent Annuitant will be considered deleted if a policy would
not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes should the
Contingent Annuitant become the Annuitant. Currently, the policies do not
provide for the naming of Contingent Annuitants. (See "Federal Tax Matters" at
page 27 of the prospectus.)
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
MONEY MARKET INVESTMENT DIVISION
NYLIAC calculates the Money Market Investment Division's current annualized
yield for a seven-day period in a manner which does not take into consideration
any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the Cash Management
Portfolio of the Fund or on its portfolio securities. We compute this current
annualized yield by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains or
losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation)
in the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of one unit of the Money
Market Investment Division at the beginning of such seven-day period, dividing
such net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of
the period to determine the base period return and annualizing this quotient on
a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects the deductions for
administrative services (for flexible premium policies) and the mortality and
expense risk charge and income and expenses accrued during the period. Because
of these deductions, the yield for the Money Market Investment Division will be
lower than the yield for the Cash Management Portfolio of the Fund.
NYLIAC also calculates the effective yield of the Money Market Investment
Division for the same seven-day period on a compounded basis. We calculate the
effective yield by compounding the unannualized base period return by adding one
to the base period return, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7,
and subtracting one from the result.
The yield on amounts held in a Money Market Investment Division normally
will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given
past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of
return. The Money Market Investment Division's actual yield is affected by
changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity
of the Cash Management Portfolio, the types and quality of portfolio securities
held by the Cash Management Portfolio, and its operating expenses.
For the seven-day period ending December 31, 1999, the annualized yields
for the single premium policies for the Money Market Investment Division were
4.66% for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I and 4.66% for NYLIAC MFA Separate
Account II. For the same period, the annualized yields for the flexible premium
policies for the Money Market Investment Division were 4.09% for NYLIAC MFA
Separate Account I and 4.09% for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account II.
For the seven-day period ending December 31, 1999, the effective yield for
the single premium policies for the Money Market Investment Division was 4.77%
for NYLIAC MFA Separate Accounts I and II. For the same period, the effective
yields for the flexible premium policies for the Money Market Investment
Division were 4.17% for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I and 4.17% for NYLIAC MFA
Separate Account II.
BOND INVESTMENT DIVISION YIELDS
NYLIAC may from time to time disclose the current annualized yield of the
Bond Investment Division for 30-day periods. The annualized yield of a Bond
Investment Division refers to the income generated by the Investment Division
over a specified 30-day period. Because the yield is annualized, the yield
generated by an Investment Division during the 30-day period is assumed to be
generated each 30-day period. We compute the yield by dividing the net
investment income per accumulation unit earned during the period by the price
per unit on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:
YIELD = 2((a-b+1)(6)-1)
----
cd
Where: a = net investment income earned during the period by the Portfolio
attributable to shares owned by the Bond Investment Division.
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
c = the average daily number of accumulation units outstanding during
the period.
4
<PAGE> 41
d = the maximum offering price per accumulation unit on the last day of
the period.
Net investment income will be determined in accordance with rules
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accrued expenses will
include all recurring fees that are charged to all policy owner accounts. The
yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any surrender charges that may
be applicable to a particular policy. Surrender charges range from 7% to 0% of
the amount withdrawn depending on the elapsed time since the policy was issued.
Because of these charges and deductions the yield for the Investment
Divisions will be lower than the yield for the corresponding Portfolio of the
Fund. The yield on amounts held in the Investment Divisions normally will
fluctuate over time. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is
not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The
Bond Investment Division's actual yield will be affected by the types and
quality of portfolio securities held by the Bond Portfolio of the Fund, and its
operating expenses.
For the 30-day period ended December 31, 1999, the annualized yields for
the Bond Investment Divisions were 5.34% and 4.84% respectively, for single
premium policies and flexible premium policies.
BOND AND COMMON STOCK STANDARD TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS
NYLIAC may from time to time also calculate average annual total returns
for one or more of the Bond or Common Stock Investment Divisions for various
periods of time. We compute the average annual total return by finding the
average annual compounded rates of return over one, five and ten year periods
that would equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value,
according to the following formula:
P(1+T)(n) = ERV
Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the
beginning of the one, five, or ten-year period, at the end of the
one, five, or ten-year period (or fractional portion thereof).
All recurring fees that are charged to all policy owner accounts are recognized
in the ending redeemable value. The average annual total return calculations
will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a
particular period.
For the one, five and ten year periods ending December 31, 1999, and the
period from January 23, 1984 to December 31, 1999, respectively, the average
annual total returns for the single premium policies for the Bond Investment
Division were -9.56%, 5.37%, 6.20% and 7.51%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA
Separate Account I, and -9.56%, 5.37%, 6.20% and 7.55%, respectively, for NYLIAC
MFA Separate Account II. For the same periods, the average annual total returns
for flexible premium policies for the Bond Investment Division were -10.01%,
4.19%, 5.57% and 6.98%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I, and
- -10.01%, 4.19%, 5.57% and 6.99%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account
II.
For the one, five and ten year periods ending December 31, 1999, and the
period from January 23, 1984 to December 31, 1999, respectively, the average
annual total returns for the single premium policies for the Common Stock
Investment Division were 19.37%, 25.13%, 16.87% and 14.17%, respectively, for
NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I. For the same periods, the average annual total
returns for flexible premium policies for the Common Stock Investment Division
were 18.77%, 23.73%, 16.17% and 13.60%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate
Account I.
For the one, five and ten year periods ending December 31, 1999, and the
period from January 18, 1985 to December 31, 1999, respectively, the average
annual total returns for the single premium policies for the Common Stock
Investment Division were 19.37%, 25.13%, 16.87% and 15.13%, respectively, for
NYLIAC MFA Separate Account II. For the same periods, the average annual total
returns for flexible premium policies for the Common Stock Investment Division
were 18.77%, 23.73%, 16.17% and 14.44%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate
Account II.

OTHER PERFORMANCE DATA
NYLIAC may from time to time also calculate average annual total returns in
a non-standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above.
The non-standard format will be identical to the standard format except that the
surrender charge will not be reflected.
Using the non-standard format, for the one, five and ten year periods
ending December 31, 1999, and the period from January 23, 1984 to December 31,
1999, respectively, the average annual total returns for the single premium
policies for the Bond Investment Division were -2.75%, 6.01%, 6.20% and 7.51%,
respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I, and -2.75%, 6.01%, 6.20% and
7.55%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account II. For the same periods,
the average annual total returns for flexible premium policies for the Bond
Investment Division were -3.24%, 5.48%, 5.68% and 6.98%, respectively, for
NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I, and -3.24%, 5.48%, 5.68% and 6.99%, respectively,
for NYLIAC MFA Separate Account II.
For the one, five and ten year periods ending December 31, 1999, and the
period from January 23, 1984 to December 31, 1999, respectively, the average
annual total returns for the single premium policies for the Common Stock
Investment Division were 28.35%, 25.89%, 16.87% and 14.17%, respectively, for
NYLIAC MFA Separate Account I. For the same periods, the average annual total
returns for flexible premium policies for the Common Stock Investment Division
were 27.71%, 25.27%, 16.29% and 13.60%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate
Account I.
For the one, five and ten year periods ending December 31, 1999, and the
period from January 18, 1985 to December 31, 1999, respectively, the average
annual total returns for the single premium policies for the Common Stock
Investment Division were 28.35%, 25.89%, 16.87% and 15.13%, respectively, for
NYLIAC MFA Separate Account II. For the same periods, the average annual total
returns for flexible premium policies for the Common Stock Investment Division
were 27.71%, 25.27%, 16.29% and 14.52%, respectively, for NYLIAC MFA Separate
Account II.
NYLIAC may from time to time also calculate cumulative total returns in
conjunction with the standard format described above. The cumulative returns
will be calculated using the following formula assuming that the surrender
charge percentage will not be reflected.
CTR = ERV/P-1
Where: CTR = the cumulative total return net of an Investment Division recurring
charges for the period
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the one, five, or ten-year period, at the end
of the one, five or ten-year period (or fractional portion
thereof)
P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
All non-standard performance data will only be advertised if the standard
performance data for the same period, as well as for the required periods, is
also disclosed.
MAINSTAY VP SERIES FUND, INC.
The MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc. is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as a diversified open-end management investment company, but
such registration does not signify that the Commission supervises the
management, or the investment practices or policies, of the Fund.
The Fund currently issues its shares only to separate accounts of NYLIAC.
Shares are sold and redeemed at the net asset value of the respective Portfolio
of the Fund.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
We will make equal annuity payments each month under the Life Income
Payment Option during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Once payments begin, they
do not change and are guaranteed for 10 years even if the Annuitant dies sooner.
If the Annuitant dies before all guaranteed payments have been made, the rest
will be made to the Beneficiary. We may require that the payee submit proof of
the Annuitant's survivorship as a condition for future payments beyond the
10-year guaranteed payment period.
On the Annuity Commencement Date, we will determine the Accumulation Value
of your policy and use that value to calculate the amount of each annuity
payment. We determine each annuity payment by applying
6
<PAGE> 43
the Accumulation Value, less any premium taxes, to the annuity factors specified
in the annuity table set forth in the policy. Those factors are based on a set
amount per $1,000 of proceeds applied. The appropriate rate must be determined
by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain Qualified Policies and other
employer-sponsored retirement plans, such classification is not permitted), date
of application and age of the Annuitant. The dollars applied are then divided by
1,000 and the result multiplied by the appropriate annuity factor from the table
to compute the amount of the each monthly annuity payment.
GENERAL MATTERS
NON-PARTICIPATING. The policies are non-participating. Dividends are not
paid.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX. If the Annuitant's stated age and/or sex in
the policy are incorrect, NYLIAC will change the benefits payable to those which
the purchase payments would have purchased for the correct age and sex. Sex is
not a factor when annuity benefits are based on unisex annuity payment rate
tables. (See "Income Payments--Legal Developments Regarding Income Payments" at
page 25 of the prospectus.)
ASSIGNMENTS. If permitted by the plan or by law for the plan indicated in
the application for the policy, a Non-Qualified Policy or any interest in it,
may be assigned by the policy owner before Income Payments begin and during the
Annuitant's lifetime. NYLIAC will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless
it receives a copy of a duly executed instrument evidencing such assignment.
Further, NYLIAC assumes no responsibility for the validity of any assignment.
(See "Federal Tax Matters--Taxation of Annuities in General" at page 27 of the
Prospectus.)
MODIFICATION. NYLIAC may not modify the policy without your consent except
to make the policy meet the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
or to make the policy comply with any changes in the Internal Revenue Code or as
required by the Code or by any other applicable law in order to continue
treatment of the policy as an annuity.
INCONTESTABILITY. The policy will not be contested after it has been in
force during the lifetime of the Annuitant for 2 years from the Policy Date.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
TAXATION OF NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION
NYLIAC is taxed as a life insurance company. Because the Separate Accounts
are not entities separate from NYLIAC, and their operations form a part of
NYLIAC, they will not be taxed separately as "regulated investment companies"
under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income and realized net capital gains
on the assets of the Separate Accounts are reinvested and are taken into account
in determining a policy's value. As a result, such investment income and
realized net capital gains are automatically retained as part of the reserves
under the policy. Under existing federal income tax law, NYLIAC believes that
Separate Account investment income and realized net capital gains should not be
taxed to the extent that such income and gains are retained as part of the
reserves under the policy.
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICIES
Section 817(h) of the Code requires that the investments of the Fund must
be "adequately diversified" in accordance with Treasury regulations in order for
the policies to qualify as annuity contracts under Section 72 of the Code. The
Separate Accounts, through the Fund, intend to comply with the diversification
requirements prescribed under Treasury Regulation Section 1.817-5, which affect
how the Fund's assets may be invested. Although NYLIAC is affiliated with the
Fund's investment advisers, it does not control the Fund or the Portfolios'
investments.
Although the Treasury Department has issued regulations on the
diversification requirements, such regulations do not provide guidance
concerning the extent to which policy owners may direct their investments to
particular subaccounts of a Separate Account, or the permitted number of such
subaccounts. It is unclear whether additional guidance in this regard will be
issued in the future. It is possible that if such guidance is issued, the policy
may need to be modified to comply with such additional guidance. For these
reasons, we reserve the right to modify the policy as necessary to attempt to
prevent the policy owner from being considered the owner of the assets of the
Separate Accounts or otherwise to qualify the policy for favorable tax
treatment.
7
<PAGE> 44
The Code also requires that non-qualified annuity contracts issued after
January 18, 1985, contain specific provisions for distribution of the policy
proceeds upon the death of any policy owner. In order to be treated as an
annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires that such
policies provide that (a) if any policy owner dies on or after Income Payments
begin and before the entire interest in the policy has been distributed, the
remaining portion must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method in
effect on the policy owner's death; and (b) if any policy owner dies before
Income Payments begin, the entire interest in the policy must generally be
distributed within 5 years after the policy owner's date of death. These
requirements will be considered satisfied if the entire interest of the policy
is used to purchase an immediate annuity under which payments will begin within
one year of the policy owner's death and will be made for the life of the
Beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the
Beneficiary. The owner's Beneficiary is the person to whom ownership of the
policy passes by reason of death and must be a natural person. If the
Beneficiary is the policy owner's surviving spouse, the policy may be continued
with the surviving spouse as the new policy owner. If the owner is not a natural
person, these "death of Owner" rules apply when the primary Annuitant is
changed. Non-qualified Policies issued after January 18, 1985 contain provisions
intended to comply with these requirements of the Code. No regulations
interpreting these requirements of the Code have yet been issued. Thus, no
assurance can be given that the provisions contained in such policies issued
after January 18, 1985 satisfy all such Code requirements. The provisions
contained in Non-Qualified Policies issued after January 18, 1985 will be
reviewed and modified if necessary to assure that they comply with the Code
requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.
Withholding of federal income taxes on the taxable portion of all
distributions may be required unless the recipient elects not to have any such
amounts withheld and properly notifies NYLIAC of that election. Different rules
may apply to United States citizens or expatriates living abroad. In addition,
some states have enacted legislation requiring withholding.
Even if a recipient elects no withholding, special withholding rules may
require NYLIAC to disregard the recipient's election if the recipient fails to
supply NYLIAC with a "TIN" or taxpayer identification number (social security
number for individuals) or if the Internal Revenue Service notifies NYLIAC that
the TIN provided by the recipient is incorrect.
DISTRIBUTOR OF THE POLICIES
NYLIFE Distributors Inc. ("NYLIFE Distributors") is the distributor of the
policies. NYLIFE Distributors is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. For the year
ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, NYLIAC paid commissions of $933,542,
$752,077 and $499,629, respectively, none of which was retained by NYLIFE
Distributors.
The sale of new policies has been discontinued. Premium payments are
accepted on a continuous basis.
SAFEKEEPING OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS
NYLIAC holds title to the assets of the Separate Accounts. The assets are
kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from NYLIAC's general
corporate assets. Records are maintained of all purchases and redemptions of
Eligible Portfolio shares held by each of the Investment Divisions.
STATE REGULATION
NYLIAC is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
Delaware, and is subject to regulation by the Delaware State Insurance
Department. An annual statement is filed with the Delaware Commissioner of
insurance on or before March 1 of each year covering the operations and
reporting on the financial condition of NYLIAC as of December 31 of the
preceding calendar year. Periodically, the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance
examines the financial condition of NYLIAC, including the liabilities and
reserves of the Separate Accounts.
In addition NYLIAC is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all
the states where it is licensed to operate. The availability of certain policy
rights and provisions depends on state approval and/or filing and review
processes. Where required by state law or regulation, the policies will be
modified accordingly.

<PAGE> 45
RECORDS AND REPORTS
NYLIAC maintains all records and accounts relating to the Separate
Accounts. As presently required by the federal securities laws, NYLIAC will mail
to you at your last known address of record, at least semi-annually after the
first policy year, reports containing such information as may be required under
the federal securities laws or by any other applicable law or regulation.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
NYLIAC is a defendant in individual and/or alleged class action suits
arising from its agency sales force, insurance (including variable contracts
registered under the federal securities law), investment, retail securities
and/or other operations, including actions involving retail sales practices.
Most of these actions also seek substantial or unspecified compensatory and
punitive damages. NYLIAC is also from time to time involved as a party in
various governmental, administrative, and investigative proceedings and
inquiries.
Given the uncertain nature of litigation and regulatory inquiries, the
outcome of which cannot be predicted, NYLIAC nevertheless believes that, after
provisions made in the financial statements, the ultimate liability that could
result from litigation and proceedings would not have a material adverse effect
on NYLIAC's financial position; however, it is possible that settlements or
adverse determinations in one or more actions or other proceedings in the future
could have a material adverse effect on NYLIAC's operating results for a given
year.
EXPERTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--Organization and Accounting Policies:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NYLIAC MFA Separate Account-I ("Separate Account-I") and NYLIAC MFA Separate
Account-II ("Separate Account-II") were established on May 27, 1983, under
Delaware law by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company. These accounts were established
to receive and invest net premium payments under Qualified Multi-Funded
Retirement Annuity Policies ("Separate Account-I") and Non- Qualified
Multi-Funded Retirement Annuity Policies ("Separate Account-II") issued by New
York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation.
Separate Account-I and Separate Account-II are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as unit investment trusts. The assets of
Separate Account-I and Separate Account-II are invested exclusively in shares of
the MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc., a diversified open-end management investment
company, and are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and
liabilities of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation. Effective

addition, the Policyowner has the option to transfer amounts between the
Investment Divisions of Separate Account-I and Separate Account-II and the Fixed
Account of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation.

Security Valuation--The investment in the MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc. is
valued at the net asset value of shares of the respective fund portfolios.
Security Transactions--Realized gains and losses from security transactions
are reported on the identified cost basis. Security transactions are accounted
for as of the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).
Distributions Received--Dividend income and capital gain distributions are
recorded on the ex-dividend date and reinvested in the corresponding portfolio.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Policies and 1.75% of the daily net asset value for Flexible Premium Policies of
each Investment Division. The amounts of these charges retained in the
Investment Divisions represent funds of New York Life Insurance and Annuity

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors of New York Life Insurance and
Annuity Corporation and the MFA Policyowners:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the
related statement of operations, of changes in total equity and the selected per
unit data present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Single and Flexible Premium Policies Common Stock, the Single and Flexible
Premium Policies Bond, and the Single and Flexible Premium Policies Money Market
Investment Divisions (constituting the New York Life Insurance and Annuity
Corporation MFA Separate Account I and the New York Life Insurance and Annuity
Corporation MFA Separate Account II) at December 31, 1999, and the results of
each of their operations, the changes in each of their total equity, and the
selected per unit data for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements and the selected per unit data (herein referred to as the "financial
statements") are the responsibility of 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 the MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc.,
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 -- NATURE OF OPERATIONS
New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation ("NYLIAC") is a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company ("New York Life")
domiciled in the State of Delaware. NYLIAC offers a wide variety of interest
sensitive insurance and annuity products to a large cross section of the
insurance market. NYLIAC markets its products in all 50 of the United States,
the District of Columbia and Taiwan, primarily through its agency force. In
addition, NYLIAC markets Corporate Owned Life Insurance through independent
brokers and brokerage general agents.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial
statements of life insurance enterprises requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 financial
statements to conform to the current presentation.
INVESTMENTS
Fixed maturity investments, which NYLIAC has both the ability and the
intent to hold to maturity, are stated at amortized cost. Investments identified
as available for sale are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on
available for sale securities are reported in stockholder's equity, net of
deferred taxes and related adjustments. The cost basis of fixed maturity and
equity securities are adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than
temporary, with the associated realized loss reported in net income. Equity
securities are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains and losses
reflected in comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes and related
adjustments. Mortgage loans are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of
impairment reserves, and are generally secured. Investment real estate, which
NYLIAC has the intent to hold for the production of income, is carried at
depreciated cost net of write-downs for other than temporary declines in fair
value. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value
less estimated selling costs. Policy loans are stated at the aggregate balance
due, which approximates fair value since loans on policies have no defined
maturity date and reduce amounts payable at death or surrender. Cash equivalents
include investments that have maturities of 90 days or less at date of purchase
and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term
investments that have maturities of between 91-365 days at date of purchase are
included in fixed maturities on the balance sheet and are carried at amortized
cost, which approximates fair value.
Mortgage backed bonds are carried at amortized cost using the interest
method considering anticipated prepayments at the date of purchase. Significant
changes in future anticipated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions
are accounted for using the retrospective adjustment method.
Derivative financial instruments hedging exposure to interest rate
fluctuation on available for sale securities are accounted for at fair market
value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in comprehensive income, net of
deferred taxes and related adjustments. Amounts payable or receivable under
interest rate and commodity swap agreements and interest rate floor agreements
are recognized as investment income or expense when earned. Premiums paid for
interest rate floor agreements are amortized into interest expense over the life
of the agreement. Realized gains and losses are recognized in net income upon
termination or maturity of the contracts.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new and maintaining renewal business and certain
costs of issuing policies that vary with and are primarily related to the
production of new and renewal business have been deferred and
F-21
<PAGE> 67
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY)
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS -- (CONTINUED)
recorded as an asset in the balance sheet. These consist primarily of
commissions, certain expenses of underwriting and issuing contracts, and certain
agency expenses. Acquisition costs for universal life and annuity contracts are
amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits over the effective life of
the contracts, which is assumed to be 25 years for universal life contracts and
15 years for annuities. Changes in assumptions are reflected in the current
year's amortization.
The carrying amount of the deferred policy acquisition cost asset is
adjusted at each balance sheet date as if the unrealized gains or losses on
investments associated with these insurance contracts had been realized and
included in the gross profits used to determine current period amortization. The
increase or decrease in the deferred policy acquisition cost asset due to
unrealized gains or losses is recorded in comprehensive income.
RECOGNITION OF INCOME AND RELATED EXPENSES
Amounts received under universal life and annuity contracts are reported as
deposits to policyholders' account balances. Revenues from these contracts
consist of amounts assessed during the period for mortality and expense risk,
policy administration and surrender charges. Amounts previously assessed to
compensate the insurer for services to be performed over future periods are
deferred and recognized into income in the period benefited using the same
assumptions and factors used to amortize capitalized acquisition costs. Policy
benefits and claims that are charged to expenses include benefit claims incurred
in the period in excess of related policyholders' account balances.
POLICYHOLDERS' ACCOUNT BALANCES
Policyholders' account balances on universal life and annuity contracts are
equal to cumulative deposits plus credited interest less withdrawals and
charges. This liability also includes a liability for amounts that have been
assessed to compensate the insurer for services to be performed over future
periods.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
NYLIAC is a member of a group which files a consolidated Federal income tax
return with New York Life. The consolidated income tax provision or benefit is
allocated among the members of the group in accordance with a tax allocation
agreement. The tax allocation agreement provides that NYLIAC is allocated its
share of the consolidated tax provision or benefit determined generally on a
separate company basis. Current Federal income taxes are charged or credited to
operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result
of taxable operations for the current year and any adjustments to such estimates
from prior years. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequence of temporary differences between financial statement
carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Current Federal income taxes include a provision for NYLIAC's share of the
equity base tax applicable to mutual life insurance companies and their
insurance subsidiaries. The amount recorded is based on NYLIAC's estimate of the
differential earnings rate ("DER") (the actual rate will be announced at a later
date by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")) used to compute the equity base
tax.
REINSURANCE
NYLIAC enters into reinsurance agreements in the normal course of its
insurance business to reduce overall risk. NYLIAC remains liable for reinsurance
ceded if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligation on the business it has
assumed. NYLIAC evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize
its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
NYLIAC has established separate accounts with varying investment objectives
which are segregated from NYLIAC's general account and are maintained for the
benefit of separate account policyholders' and NYLIAC. Separate account assets
are stated at market value. The liability for separate accounts represents
F-22
<PAGE> 68
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY)
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS -- (CONTINUED)
policyholders' interests in the separate account assets. For its registered
separate accounts, these liabilities include accumulated net investment income
and realized and unrealized gains and losses on those assets, and generally
reflect market value. For its guaranteed, non-registered separate account, the
liability includes interest credited to the policies.
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair values of various assets and liabilities are included throughout the
notes to financial statements. Specifically, fair value disclosure of fixed
maturities, short-term investments, cash equivalents, equity securities and
mortgage loans is reported in Note 2 -- Significant Accounting Policies and Note
3 -- Investments. Fair values for policyholders' account balances are reported
in Note 5 -- Insurance Liabilities. Fair values for derivative financial
instruments are included in Note 10 -- Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk
Management. Fair values for repurchase agreements are included in Note
11 -- Commitments and Contingencies.
BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The development of policy reserves and deferred policy acquisition costs
for NYLIAC's products requires management to make estimates and assumptions
regarding mortality, morbidity, lapse, expense and investment experience. Such
estimates are primarily based on historical experience and future expectations
of mortality, morbidity, expense, persistency and investment assumptions. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Management monitors actual
experience, and where circumstances warrant, revises its assumptions and the
related estimates for policy reserves and deferred policy acquisition costs.
NYLIAC regularly invests in mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and
other securities subject to prepayment and/or call risk. Significant changes in
prevailing interest rates and/or geographic conditions may adversely affect the
timing and amount of cash flows on such securities, as well as their related
values. In addition, the amortization of market premium and accretion of market
discount for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is based on historical
experience and estimates of future payment experience on the underlying assets.
Actual prepayment speeds will differ from original estimates and may result in
material adjustments to asset values and amortization or accretion recorded in
future periods.
As a subsidiary of a mutual life insurance company, NYLIAC is subject to a
tax on its equity base. The rates applied to NYLIAC's equity base are determined
annually by the IRS after comparison of mutual life insurance company earnings
for the year to the average earnings of the 50 largest stock life insurance
companies for the prior three years. Due to the timing of earnings information,
estimates of the current year's tax rate must be made by management. The
ultimate amounts of equity base tax incurred may vary considerably from the
original estimates.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use", which requires
capitalization of external and certain internal costs incurred to obtain or
develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage.
NYLIAC applied the provisions of SOP 98-1 prospectively effective January
1, 1999. The adoption of SOP 98-1 resulted in net capitalization of $37 million
at December 31, 1999, which is included in other assets in the accompanying
Balance Sheet. Capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life of the software, not to exceed five years.
During 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement establishes new GAAP
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
In 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133", which postpones the implementation until the 2001 financial statements.
NYLIAC is currently evaluating what impact, if any, this Statement will have on
its financial results.
F-23
<PAGE> 69
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY)
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
This Statement requires that derivatives be reported in the balance sheet
at their fair value, regardless of any hedging relationship that may exist.
Accounting for the gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would depend on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies
for hedge accounting. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are not
designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria will be
reported in earnings.
NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENTS
FIXED MATURITIES
For publicly traded fixed maturities, estimated fair value is determined
using quoted market prices. For fixed maturities without a readily ascertainable
market value, NYLIAC has determined an estimated fair value using either a
discounted cash flow approach, including provisions for credit risk generally
based upon the assumption such securities will be held to maturity, broker
dealer quotations, or a proprietary matrix pricing model.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the maturity distribution of fixed
maturities was as follows (in millions):

MORTGAGE LOANS
NYLIAC's mortgage loans are diversified by property type, location and
borrower, and are generally collateralized by the related property.
The fair market value of the mortgage loan portfolio at December 31, 1999
and 1998 is estimated to be $1,858 million and $1,728 million, respectively.
Market values are determined by discounting the projected
F-25
<PAGE> 71
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

MORTGAGE LOANS -- (CONTINUED)
cash flows for each loan to determine the current net present value. The
discount rate used approximates the current rate for new mortgages with
comparable characteristics and similar remaining maturities.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, contractual commitments to extend credit
under commercial and residential mortgage loan agreements amounted to
approximately $37 million and $76 million, respectively, at a fixed market rate
of interest. These commitments are diversified by property type and geographic
region.
The general reserve provision for losses on mortgage loans was $4 million
and $1 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. There were no
specific provisions for losses as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. The activity in
the general reserves as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 is summarized below (in

NYLIAC accrues interest income on impaired loans to the extent it is deemed
collectible and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured
contractual terms. Interest income on problem loans is generally recognized on a
cash basis. Cash payments on loans in the process of foreclosure are generally
treated as a return of principal.

During 1999 a fixed maturity investment that had been classified as held to
maturity was transferred to available for sale and subsequently sold due to
credit deterioration. The investment had an amortized cost of $10,052,000, and
the sale resulted in a realized gain of $82,000. In addition, in 1997 a fixed
maturity investment that had been classified as held to maturity was sold due to
credit deterioration. The investment had an amortized cost of $2,791,000, and
the sale resulted in a realized gain of $14,000.

Deferred policy acquisition costs in the above table for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are net of income tax expense (benefit) of $122
million, $(8) million and $(31) million, respectively.
NOTE 5 -- INSURANCE LIABILITIES
NYLIAC's annuity contracts are primarily deferred annuities. The carrying
value, which approximates fair value, of NYLIAC's liabilities for deferred
annuities at December 31, 1999 and 1998, was $7,279 million and $6,905 million,
respectively.
NOTE 6 -- SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
NYLIAC maintains eight non-guaranteed, registered separate accounts for its
variable deferred annuity and variable life products. NYLIAC maintains
investments in the registered separate accounts of $71 million and $54 million
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The assets of the separate
accounts, which are carried at market value, represent investments in shares of
the New York Life sponsored MainStay VP Series Fund and other non-proprietary
funds.
NYLIAC maintains one guaranteed separate account for universal life
insurance policies. This account provides a minimum guaranteed interest rate
with a market value adjustment imposed upon certain surrenders. The assets of
this separate account are carried at market value.

The gross deferred tax asset relates to temporary differences that are

NYLIAC's taxable income in future years will be sufficient to realize the
deferred tax benefits and therefore, no valuation allowance has been recorded.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of the Federal income tax rate to the
effective tax rate for 1999, 1998 and 1997:

NYLIAC's Federal income tax returns are routinely examined by the IRS and
provisions are made in the financial statements in anticipation of the results
of these audits. The IRS has completed audits through 1995. There were no
material effects on NYLIAC's results of operations as a result of these audits.
NYLIAC believes that its recorded income tax liabilities are adequate for all
open years.

NOTE 9 -- REINSURANCE
NYLIAC has entered into cession reinsurance agreements on a coinsurance
basis with non-affiliated companies and on a yearly renewable term basis with
affiliated and non-affiliated companies.
NYLIAC has ceded yearly renewable term reinsurance with affiliated
companies. Under this agreement, included in the accompanying consolidated
statement of income are $1.5 million, $.9 million and $.4 million of ceded
premiums at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
On April 1, 1997, NYLIAC, under the terms of an assumption reinsurance
agreement, acquired certain bank owned life insurance policies that had been
issued by Confederation Life Insurance Company. In conjunction with this
transaction, NYLIAC recorded a liability for policyholder account balances of
$277 million, and received cash of $245 million and a note receivable of $11
million. The difference of $21 million between the liability recorded and the
assets received has been recorded as DAC, which is being amortized over the
remaining life of the policies, assumed to be 25 years.
NOTE 10 -- DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
NYLIAC uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate,
commodity and market risk. These derivative financial instruments include
interest rate floors and interest rate and commodity swaps. NYLIAC has not
engaged in derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative
purposes.
Notional or contractual amounts of derivative financial instruments provide
only a measure of involvement in these types of transactions and do not
represent the amounts exchanged between the parties engaged in the transaction.
The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amounts and
other terms of the derivative financial instruments which relate to interest
rates or other financial indices.
NYLIAC is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that a counterparty
fails to perform its obligations under contractual terms. The credit exposure of
derivative financial instruments is represented by the sum of fair values of
contracts with each counterparty, if the net value is positive, at the reporting
date.
NYLIAC deals with highly rated counterparties and does not expect the
counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. NYLIAC has controls in place
to monitor credit exposures by limiting transactions with specific
counterparties within specified dollar limits and assessing the future
creditworthiness of counterparties. NYLIAC uses master netting agreements and
adjusts transaction levels, when appropriate, to minimize risk.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
NYLIAC enters into various types of interest rate contracts primarily to
minimize exposure of specific assets held by NYLIAC to fluctuations in interest
rates.
The following table summarizes the notional amounts and credit exposures of
interest rate related derivative transactions (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998
-------------------- --------------------
NOTIONAL CREDIT NOTIONAL CREDIT
AMOUNT EXPOSURE AMOUNT EXPOSURE
-------- -------- -------- --------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Interest Rate Swaps $225,000 $-- $125,000 $9,125
Interest Rate Floors $150,000 $92 $150,000 $ 748
</TABLE>
Interest rate swaps are agreements with other parties to exchange, at
specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate
interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. Swap
contracts outstanding at December 31, 1999 are between four years, seven months
and nineteen years in maturity. At December 31, 1998 such contracts were between
six years, eight months and nineteen years, four months in maturity. NYLIAC does
not act as an intermediary or broker in interest rate swaps.
F-30
<PAGE> 76
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY)
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT -- (CONTINUED)
The following table shows the type of swaps used by NYLIAC and the weighted
average interest rates. Average variable rates are based on the rates which
determine the last payment received or paid on each contract; those rates may
change significantly, affecting future cash flows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998
-------- --------
<S> <C> <C>
Receive -- fixed swaps -- Notional amount (in thousands) $225,000 $125,000
Average receive rate 6.50% 6.64%
Average pay rate 5.17% 5.65%
</TABLE>
During the term of the swap, net settlement amounts are recorded as
investment income or expense when earned. Fair values of interest rate swaps
were ($8,420,000) and $9,125,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
based on broker/dealer quotations.
Interest rate floor agreements entitle NYLIAC to receive amounts from
counterparties based upon the difference between a strike price and current
interest rates. Such agreements serve as hedges against declining interest rates
on a portfolio of assets. Amounts received during the term of interest rate
floor agreements are recorded as investment income.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, unamortized premiums on interest rate floors
amounted to $315,000 and $372,000, respectively. Fair values of such agreements
were $92,000 and $748,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, based on
broker/dealer quotations.
COMMODITY RISK MANAGEMENT
NYLIAC has a bond investment with interest payments linked to the price of
crude oil. NYLIAC has entered into a commodity swap with a total notional amount
of $7,500,000 as a hedge against this commodity risk. The credit exposure of the
swap was $0 and $136,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
NOTE 11 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
NYLIAC is a defendant in individual suits arising from its agency sales
force, insurance (including variable contracts registered under the federal
securities law), investment, retail securities and/or other operations,
including actions involving retail sales practices. Most of these actions seek
substantial or unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. NYLIAC is also
from time to time involved as a party in various governmental, administrative,
and investigative proceedings and inquiries.
Notwithstanding the uncertain nature of litigation and regulatory
inquiries, the outcome of which cannot be predicted, NYLIAC nevertheless
believes that, after provisions made in the financial statements, the ultimate
liability that could result from litigation and proceedings would not have a
material adverse effect on NYLIAC's financial position; however, it is possible
that settlements or adverse determinations in one or more actions or other
proceedings in the future could have a material adverse effect on NYLIAC's
operating results for a given year.
LOANED SECURITIES AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
NYLIAC participates in a securities lending program for the purpose of
enhancing income on securities held. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, $246 million
and $571 million, respectively, of NYLIAC's fixed maturities and equity
securities were on loan to others, but were fully collateralized in an account
held in trust for NYLIAC. Such assets reflect the extent of NYLIAC's involvement
in securities lending, not NYLIAC's risk of loss.
NYLIAC enters into agreements to sell and repurchase securities for the
purpose of enhancing income on securities held. Under these agreements, NYLIAC
obtains the use of funds from a broker for approximately one month. The
liability reported in the accompanying Balance Sheet (included in other
liabilities) at December 31, 1999 of $620 million ($139 million at December 31,
1998) approximates fair value. The
F-31
<PAGE> 77

LOANED SECURITIES AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
investments acquired with the funds received from the securities sold are
primarily included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Balance
Sheet.
NOTE 12 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
New York Life provides NYLIAC with services and facilities for the sale of
insurance and other activities related to the business of insurance. New York
Life charges NYLIAC for the identified costs associated with these services and
facilities under the terms of a Service Agreement between New York Life and
NYLIAC. Such costs, amounting to $393 million for the year ended December 31,
1999 ($335 million for 1998 and $239 million for 1997) are reflected in
operating expenses and net investment income in the accompanying Statement of
Income.
In addition, NYLIAC is allocated post-retirement and post-employment
benefits other than pensions, which are held by New York Life. NYLIAC was
allocated $12 million for its share of the net periodic post-retirement benefits
expense in 1999 ($8 million and $9 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively) and
$3 million for the post-employment benefits expense in 1999 ($2 million in 1998
and 1997) under the provisions of the Service Agreement. The expenses are
reflected in operating expenses and net investment income in the accompanying
Statement of Income.
In addition, in 1999 New York Life concluded a comprehensive expense
reduction program expected to streamline processes and improve profitability. As
a result of job eliminations and early retirement benefits as defined in
management's termination plan, NYLIAC was allocated $16 million for its share of
these restructuring costs in 1999, which are reflected in operating expenses and
net investment income in the accompanying Statement of Income.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, NYLIAC has a net liability of $80 million
and $63 million, respectively for the above described services which are
included in other liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheet.
In 1999 NYLIAC sold a $197 million Corporate Sponsored Variable Universal
Life (CSVUL) policy and a $82 million Corporate Sponsored Universal Life (CSUL)
policy to a Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) trust. This trust was
established to fund New York Life's retired employees medical and dental
benefits. In addition, in 1999 and 1998, NYLIAC sold a Corporate Owned Life
(COLI) policy to New York Life for $180 million and $250 million in premiums,
respectively. These policies were sold on the same basis as policies sold to
unrelated customers.
NOTE 13 -- SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Federal income taxes paid were $48 million, $67 million, and $126 million
during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Total interest paid was $30 million, $27 million and $35 million during
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
NOTE 14 -- STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Accounting practices used to prepare statutory financial statements for
regulatory filings of life insurance companies differ in certain instances from
GAAP. The Delaware Insurance Department recognizes only statutory accounting
practices for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of
operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the
Delaware Insurance Law. No consideration is given by the Department to financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in making such determinations.
In 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting
Principles guidance, which will replace the current Accounting Practices and
Procedures manual as the NAIC's primary guidance on statutory accounting. The
Delaware Insurance Department has adopted the Codification guidance, effective
January 1, 2001. NYLIAC has not estimated the potential effect of the
Codification guidance on its financial statements.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, statutory stockholder's equity was $1,130
million and $1,095 million, respectively.

NOTE 14 -- STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- (CONTINUED)
NYLIAC is restricted as to the amounts it may pay as dividends to New York
Life. Under Delaware Insurance Law, dividends on capital stock can be
distributed only out of earned surplus. Furthermore, without prior approval of
the Delaware Insurance Commissioner, dividends can not be declared or
distributed which exceed the greater of ten percent of the Company's surplus or
one hundred percent of net gain from operations.
No dividends were paid or declared for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997.
As of December 31, 1999, the amount of available and accumulated funds
derived from earned surplus from which NYLIAC can pay dividends is $625 million.
The maximum amount of dividend which may be paid in 2000 without prior approval
is $113 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
income, of comprehensive income, of stockholder's equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New York
Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of its operations and its 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 discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company changed its
method of accounting in 1999 for the cost of computer software developed or
obtained for internal use.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS
As of January 31, 2000, there were approximately 9,611 owners of
Non-Qualified Policies offered under NYLIAC MFA Separate Account-II.
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
Reference is made to Article VIII of the Depositor's By-Laws.
New York Life maintains Directors and Officers Liability/Company
Reimbursement ("D&O") insurance which covers directors, officers and trustees of
New York Life, its subsidiaries, and its subsidiaries and certain affiliates
including the Depositor while acting in their capacity as such. The total annual
aggregate of D&O coverage is $150 million applicable to all insureds under the
D&O policies. There is no assurance that such coverage will be maintained by New
York Life or for the Depositor in the future as, in the past, there have been
large variances in the availability of D&O insurance for financial institutions.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Depositor pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Depositor
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 by the Depositor of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling
C-8
<PAGE> 88
person of the Depositor 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 Depositor will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS
(a) Investment companies (other than the Registrant) for which NYLIFE
Distributors Inc. is currently acting as underwriter:

RE: NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION
MFA SEPARATE ACCOUNT-II
COMPANY ACT FILE NUMBER: 811-03830
SECURITIES ACT FILE NUMBER: 2-86084
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing by New York Life
Insurance and Annuity Corporation ("NYLIAC") of Post-Effective Amendment No. 20
to the registration statement on Form N-4 ("Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of NYLIAC MFA Separate Account-II ("Separate
Account-II"). Separate Account-II receives and invests premiums allocated to it
under a multi-funded variable retirement annuity policy ("Annuity Contract").
The Annuity Contract is offered in the manner described in the Registration
Statement.
In connection with this opinion, I have made such examination of the law
and have examined such corporate records and such other documents as I consider
appropriate as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. On the basis of
such examination, it is my opinion that:
1. NYLIAC is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware.
2. Separate Account-II is a separate account established and
maintained by NYLIAC pursuant to Section 2932 of the Delaware
Insurance Code, under which the income, gains and losses,
realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to Separate
Account-II shall be credited to or charged against Separate
Account-II, without regard to other income, gains or losses of
NYLIAC.

Securities and Exchange Commission

3. The Annuity Contracts have been duly authorized by NYLIAC and,
when sold in jurisdictions authorizing such sales, in accordance
with the Registration Statement, will constitute validly issued
and binding obligations of NYLIAC in accordance with their terms.
4. Each owner of a Annuity Contract will not be subject to any
deductions, charges, or assessments imposed by NYLIAC other than
those provided in the Annuity Contract.
I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ THOMAS F. ENGLISH
