</TABLE>

Because the Century  Life of America  name change must be approved by each state
Insurance Commissioner,  its new name will be used in each state on the later of
December 31, 1996 or the state approval date.

2. Ultra Series Fund Management Agreement. At a meeting of the Ultra Series Fund
Board of Trustees  held  October 29, 1996,  the  Trustees  approved a Management
Agreement  between  CIMCO Inc.  ("CIMCO") and the Ultra Series Fund (the "Fund")
and recommended the Management Agreement for approval by the Shareholders of the
Fund at a Shareholder  meeting  scheduled  for January 16, 1997.  Subject to the
affirmative  vote of a  majority  of the  shares  of each  Series  of the  Fund,
effective  May 1, 1997,  the  Management  Agreement  will  replace the  existing
Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and Century Investment Management
Co. last  approved  and  continued  by the Board of Trustees on May 2, 1996.  In
addition, Century Life of America management has indicated that effective May 1,
1997 it will not continue  its expense  reimbursement  agreement  with the Fund,
pursuant  to which  Century  Life of America  has from year to year  voluntarily
agreed to absorb  substantially all ordinary  business  expenses  (including the
advisory fee) of each Series of the Fund in excess of 0.65% of the average value
of the daily net assets of such Series. (See Fund Expenses,  page 6 and Appendix
A, page 72 of the VUL  Prospectus).  If the  Management  Agreement  is approved,
effective May 1, 1997,  the following  table will be added to the section of the
VUL Prospectus headed Fund Expenses.
