FLEXIBLE PURCHASE PAYMENT
INDIVIDUAL NON-TAX QUALIFIED VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
THE OHIO NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
ONE FINANCIAL WAY
CINCINNATI, OHIO 45242
TELEPHONE (513) 794-6452
This prospectus offers a multiple funded, flexible purchase payment, individual
variable annuity contract, designed for non-tax qualified retirement plans, that
provides for the accumulation of values and the payment of annuity benefits on a
variable and/or fixed basis. Unless specifically stated otherwise, only
provisions relating to the variable portion of the contracts are described in
this prospectus. The fixed portion ("Guaranteed Accumulation Account") is
briefly described in an appendix to the Statement of Additional Information.
Variable annuities are designed to provide lifetime annuity payments which will
vary with the investment results of the investment vehicle chosen. The
accumulation value of a contract will vary with the investment performance of
Ohio National Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), prior to the annuity payout date, and the
amount of each annuity payment will vary with the Fund's investment performance
subsequent to the commencement of annuity payments. There can be no assurance
that the value of a contract during the years prior to the annuity payout date
or the aggregate amount of annuity payments received after such date will equal
or exceed the purchase payments made therefor.
The variable annuity contracts offered by this prospectus are flexible purchase
payment contracts designed to be sold on an individual basis for use in
retirement plans which do not qualify for special tax treatment under the
Internal Revenue Code.
The minimum purchase payment is $25. Payments after the first payment may be
made at any time. Generally the maximum purchase payment is $10,000 per year.
Purchase payments are allocated to one or more subaccounts of Ohio National
Variable Account B ("VAB") in such portion as the contract owner may choose. VAB
is a separate account established by The Ohio National Life Insurance Company
("Ohio National Life"). The assets of VAB are invested in shares of the Fund, a
mutual fund having 13 portfolios in which the contracts' assets may be invested:
Equity Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, Omni Portfolio,
International Portfolio, Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Small Cap Portfolio,
Global Contrarian Portfolio, Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Core Growth Portfolio,
Growth & Income Portfolio, S&P 500 Index Portfolio and Social Awareness
Portfolio. (See the accompanying prospectus of the Fund.)
All or part of the contract's accumulation value may be withdrawn before the
annuity payout date. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to federal income tax
penalties, and a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed equal to 7
3/4% of total purchase payments made during the 96 months immediately preceding
the withdrawal, or 7 3/4% of the amount withdrawn, if less. After the first
year, up to 10% of the accumulation value may be withdrawn each year without
this charge.
The contracts offered hereby may be revoked by the purchaser without penalty
within 20 days of their delivery.
THIS PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IT SETS FORTH THE
INFORMATION ABOUT VAB AND THE VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS OFFERED BY THIS
PROSPECTUS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE INVESTING. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT
VAB HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN A STATEMENT OF

The purpose of the above table is to help you to understand the costs and
expenses that a variable annuity contractowner will bear directly or indirectly.
THE EXAMPLE INCLUDED IN THE ABOVE TABLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A
REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSE, AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR
LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN. Note that the expense amounts shown in the example are
aggregate amounts for the total number of years indicated. Neither the table nor
the example reflect any premium taxes that may be applicable to a contract,
which currently range from 0% to 2.25%. The above table and example reflect only
the charges for contracts currently offered by this prospectus and not other
contracts that may be offered by Ohio National Life. For further details, see
Deductions and Expenses, page 8.
*For the Money Market Portfolio, management fees in excess of 0.25% are
presently being waived by the Fund's investment adviser. Without the waiver, the
Money Market Portfolio's Management Fee would be 0.30%, its Total Fund Annual
Expenses would be 0.49%, and its expenses would total $76 for a $1,000 contract
surrendered at the end of 1 year, $84 if surrendered at the end of 3 years, $98
if surrendered at the end of 5 years or $167 if surrendered at the end of 10
years. For a $1,000 contract annuitized or not surrendered, the expenses without
the waiver would be $14 for 1 year, $44 for 3 years, $76 for 5 years or $167 for
10 years.
**The "Other Expenses" (and, accordingly, the Total Fund Expenses) for the Core
Growth, Growth & Income, S&P 500 Index and Social Awareness Portfolios are based
on estimates.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The complete financial statements of VAB and Ohio National Life, and the
Independent Auditors' Reports thereon, may be found in the Statement of
Additional Information.
THE OHIO NATIONAL COMPANIES
OHIO NATIONAL LIFE
Ohio National Life was organized under the laws of Ohio in 1909 as a stock life
insurance company and became a mutual life insurance company in 1959. It writes
life, accident and health insurance and annuities in 47 states, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico. Currently it has assets in excess of $5.9 billion and
equity in excess of $500 million. Its home office is located at One Financial
Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242.
OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
VAB was established in 1969 by Ohio National Life as a separate account under
Ohio law for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts. Purchase
payments for the variable annuity contracts are allocated to one or more
subaccounts of VAB. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from
assets allocated to VAB are, as provided in the contracts, credited to or
charged against VAB without regard to other income, gains or losses of Ohio
National Life. The assets maintained in VAB will not be charged with any
liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by Ohio National Life.
Nevertheless, all obligations arising under the contracts, including the
commitment to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of Ohio
National Life. Accordingly, all of Ohio National Life's assets are available to
meet its obligations under the contracts. VAB is registered as a unit investment
trust under the 1940 Act.
The assets of each subaccount of VAB are invested at net asset value (without an
initial sales charge) in shares of a corresponding portfolio of the Fund: the
Equity Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, Omni Portfolio (a
flexible portfolio fund), International Portfolio, Capital Appreciation
Portfolio, Small Cap Portfolio, Global Contrarian Portfolio, Aggressive Growth
Portfolio, Core Growth Portfolio, Growth & Income Portfolio, S&P 500 Index
Portfolio or Social Awareness Portfolio.

OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
The Fund is a diversified, open-end, management investment company registered
under the 1940 Act. The value of the Fund's investments fluctuates daily and is
subject to the risk of changing economic conditions as well as the risk inherent
in the ability of management to anticipate changes necessary in such investments
to meet changes in economic conditions. The Fund receives investment advice, for
a fee, from its investment adviser, Ohio National Investments, Inc., and from
Societe Generale Asset Management Corp. (sub-adviser to the International and
Global Contrarian Portfolios), T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (sub-adviser to
the Capital Appreciation Portfolio), Founders Asset Management, Inc.
(sub-adviser to the Small Cap Portfolio), Strong Capital Management, Inc.
(sub-adviser to the Aggressive Growth Portfolio), Pilgrim Baxter & Associates,
Ltd. (sub-adviser to the Core Growth Portfolio), and Robertson Stephens
Investment Management, L.P. (sub-adviser to the Growth & Income Portfolio). For
additional information concerning the Fund, including the investment objectives
of each of its portfolios, see the attached Fund prospectus. Read the Fund
prospectus carefully before investing. The Fund prospectus contains information
about other portfolios that are not available for the contracts offered herein.
In addition to being offered to VAB, Fund shares are currently offered to other
separate accounts of Ohio National Life in connection with variable annuity
contracts and a separate account of Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation in
connection with variable life insurance contracts. In the future, Fund shares
may be offered to other insurance company separate accounts. It is conceivable
that in the future it may become disadvantageous for both variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the Fund. Although neither Ohio
National Life nor the Fund currently foresees any such disadvantage, the Board
of Directors of the Fund will monitor events in order to identify any material
conflict between variable life and variable annuity contractowners and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken in response thereto, including
the possible withdrawal of VAB's participation in the Fund. Material conflicts
could result from such things as (1) changes in state insurance law; (2) changes
in federal income tax law; (3) changes in the investment management of any
portfolio of the Fund; or (4) differences between voting instructions given by
variable life and variable annuity contractowners.
VOTING RIGHTS
Ohio National Life shall vote Fund shares held in VAB at meetings of Fund
shareholders in accordance with voting instructions received from contract
owners. The number of Fund shares for which an owner is entitled to give
instructions will be determined by Ohio National Life in the manner described
below, not more than 90 days prior to the meeting of shareholders. Fund proxy
material will be distributed to each owner together with appropriate forms for
giving voting instructions. Fund shares held in VAB, for which no timely
instructions are received, will be voted by Ohio National Life in proportion to
the instructions which are received with respect to all contracts participating
in VAB.
During the accumulation period, the number of Fund shares for which instructions
may be given to Ohio National Life is determined by dividing the variable
accumulation value of a subaccount of the contract by the net asset value of a
share of the corresponding Fund portfolio as of the same date. During the
annuity payment period, the number of Fund portfolio shares for which such
instructions may be given is determined by dividing the actuarial liability for
variable annuities in the course of payment by the net asset value of a Fund
portfolio share as of the same date. Generally, the number of votes tends to
decrease as annuity payments progress.
DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
The variable annuity contracts are sold by Ohio National Life insurance agents
who are also registered representatives (a) of The O. N. Equity Sales Company
("ONESCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio National Life, registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. or (b) of other broker-dealers that have entered into
distribution agreements with the principal underwriter of the contracts. At the
date of this prospectus, ONESCO was the principal underwriter of the contracts.
However, pending receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, Ohio National
Equities, Inc., a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio National Life, will become
the principal underwriter. As compensation for their sales efforts, ONESCO and
the other broker-dealers will receive a fee from Ohio National Life equal to 6%
of purchase payments. ONESCO and the other broker-dealers will remunerate their
registered
7
<PAGE> 12
representatives from their own funds. Purchase payments on which no compensation
is paid to registered representatives will not be included in amounts on which
the 6% sales compensation will be paid to ONESCO and the other broker dealers.
To the extent that the amount of the contingent deferred sales charge received
by Ohio National Life is not sufficient to recover the fee paid to ONESCO and
the other broker dealers, any deficiency will be made up from Ohio National
Life's general account assets which include, among other things, any profit from
the mortality and expense risk charges.
DEDUCTIONS AND EXPENSES
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
No deduction for sales expense is made from purchase payments. A contingent
deferred sales charge may be assessed by Ohio National Life when a contract is
surrendered or a partial withdrawal of accumulation value is made before the
annuity payout date to defray expenses relating to the sale of the contract,
including compensation to sales personnel, cost of sales literature and
prospectuses, and other expenses related to sales activity. Such charge equals
the lesser of (a) 7 3/4% of the total purchase payments made during the 96
months immediately preceding the surrender or partial withdrawal, or (b) 7 3/4%
of the accumulation value being surrendered or withdrawn. On or after the first
contract anniversary, a partial withdrawal of not more than 10% of the
accumulation value (as of the date the partial withdrawal is requested) may be
made once each contract year without the imposition of the contingent deferred
sales charge.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION CHARGE
Each year on the contract anniversary (or at the time of surrender of the
contract), Ohio National Life will deduct a contract administration charge of
$30 from the accumulation value to reimburse it for the expenses relating to the
maintenance of the contract. Such charge is not designed to produce a profit and
Ohio National Life does not expect to recover from such charge any amount in
excess of accumulated administrative expenses. Ohio National Life guarantees not
to change the contract administration charge. The charge is not made after the
annuity payout date.
DEDUCTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
A deduction is made at the end of each valuation period equal to 0.25% on an
annual basis of the contract value for administrative expenses. This deduction
is not designed to produce a profit but to reimburse Ohio National Life for
expenses incurred for accounting, auditing, legal, contract owner services,
reports to regulatory authorities and contract owners, contract issue, etc., not
covered by the contract administration charge.
DEDUCTION FOR RISK UNDERTAKINGS
Prior to the annuity payout date, Ohio National Life guarantees that the
accumulation value of all contracts will not be affected by any excess of sales
and administrative expenses over the deductions provided therefor. Ohio National
Life also guarantees to pay a death benefit in the event of the annuitant's
death prior to the annuity payout date (see Death Benefit, page 11). After the
annuity payout date, Ohio National Life guarantees that variable annuity
payments will not be affected by adverse mortality experience or expenses.
For assuming these risks, Ohio National Life, in determining the accumulation
unit values and the annuity unit values for each subaccount, makes a deduction
from the applicable investment results equal to 0.85% of the contract value on
an annual basis. Such deduction may be decreased by Ohio National Life at any
time and may be increased not more frequently than annually to not more than
1.55% on an annual basis. Although Ohio National Life views the risk charge as
an indivisible whole, of the amount currently being deducted, it has estimated
that a reasonable allocation would be 0.35% for mortality risk, and 0.5% for
expense risk. Although Ohio National Life hopes to realize a profit from this
charge, if the deduction is insufficient to cover the actual risk involved, the
loss will fall on Ohio National Life; conversely, if the deduction proves more
than sufficient, the excess will be a gain to Ohio National Life.
TRANSFER FEE
A transfer fee of $3 (which may be increased to $15) is made for each transfer
from one subaccount to another. The fee is charged against the subaccount from
which the transfer is effected. Currently, no fee is charged for the first four
transfers each year.
8
<PAGE> 13
DEDUCTION FOR STATE PREMIUM TAX
Most states do not presently charge a premium tax for these contracts. Where a
tax applies, the rates are presently 1.0% in Puerto Rico, West Virginia and
Wyoming, 1.25% in South Dakota, 2.0% in Kansas, Kentucky and Maine, 2.25% in the
District of Columbia,. 2.35% in California and 3.5% in Nevada. Normally, any
such applicable taxes will not be deducted until annuity payments begin.
However, in Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming, they are presently being deducted
from purchase payments.
FUND EXPENSES
There are deductions from, and expenses paid out of, the assets of the Fund.
These are described in the attached Fund prospectus.
DESCRIPTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
20-DAY FREE LOOK
The contract owner may revoke the contract at any time until the end of 20 days
after receipt of the contract and receive a refund of the entire purchase price.
To revoke, the owner must return the contract to Ohio National Life within the
20 day period. In those states where required by law, the value of the contract
as of the date of cancellation will be returned in lieu of the entire purchase
price in case of revocation during the 20 day free look period.
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
PURCHASE PAYMENT PROVISIONS
The contracts provide for minimum purchase payments of $25 per payment and a
maximum payment of $10,000 per year. (Larger total payments may be made with
Ohio National Life's consent.) Subject to these limits, payments may be made at
any time. Failure to make payments shall not constitute a default, but could
result in involuntary termination (see Ohio National Life's Right to Terminate,
page 10).
ACCUMULATION UNITS
Prior to the annuity payout date, the contract value is measured by accumulation
units. Each purchase payment results in the crediting of accumulation units to
the contract (see Crediting Accumulation Units, below). The number of
accumulation units so credited remains constant but the dollar value of
accumulation units will vary depending upon the investment results of the
particular subaccount to which payments are allocated.
CREDITING ACCUMULATION UNITS
Completed application forms, together with a check for the first purchase
payment, are forwarded to the home office of Ohio National Life for acceptance.
Upon acceptance, a contract is issued to the contract owner, and the first
purchase payment is then credited to the contract in the form of accumulation
units. Initial purchase payments are credited not later than two business days
after receipt if the application and all information necessary for processing
the purchase payment are complete. If an application is not accepted within five
business days, the purchase payment will be returned immediately to the
applicant unless the applicant specifically consents to having Ohio National
Life retain the purchase payment until the application is completed. After that,
the purchase payment will be credited within two business days. Subsequent
purchase payments are sent directly to the home office of Ohio National Life and
are applied to provide that number of accumulation units (for each subaccount)
determined by dividing the amount of the purchase payment by the value of the
appropriate accumulation unit next computed after the payment is received at the
home office of Ohio National Life.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
In the contract application, you may direct the allocation of your purchase
payments among the subaccounts of VAB and the general account of Ohio National
Life. The amount allocated to any subaccount or the general account must equal a
whole percentage. The allocation of future purchase payments may be changed at
any time upon written notice to the home office of Ohio National Life.
9
<PAGE> 14
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE AND ACCUMULATION VALUE
The accumulation unit value of each subaccount of VAB was set at $10 when the
first payment for these contracts was allocated to each subaccount. The
accumulation unit value for any subsequent valuation period is determined by
multiplying the accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation
period by the net investment factor (described below) for such subsequent
valuation period. The accumulation value is determined by multiplying the total
number of accumulation units (for each subaccount) credited to the contract by
the accumulation unit value (for such subaccount) for the valuation period for
which the accumulation value is being determined.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor is a quantitative measure of the investment results of
each subaccount of VAB. The net investment factor for each subaccount for any
valuation period is determined by dividing (a) by (b), then subtracting (c) from
the result, where:
(a) is -
(1) the net asset value of a share in the appropriate portfolio of the
Fund determined as of the end of a valuation period, plus
(2) The per share amount of any dividends or other distributions declared
for that portfolio by the Fund if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during
the valuation period, plus or minus
(3) per share charge or credit for any taxes paid or reserved for which is
determined by Ohio National Life to result from the maintenance or
operation of that subaccount of VAB; (No federal income taxes are
applicable under present law.)
(b) is the net asset value of a share in the appropriate portfolio of the Fund
determined as the end of the preceding valuation period; and
(c) is the deduction for administrative and sales expenses and risk
undertakings. (See Deduction for Administrative Expenses, page 8, and
Deduction for Risk Undertakings, page 8.)
OHIO NATIONAL LIFE'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
Ohio National Life may, at its option, require surrender of a contract on any
anniversary when the accumulation value is less than the lesser of (a) $1,000 or
(b) $250 times the number of years the contract has been in force. Such
termination could have adverse tax consequences. (See Federal Tax Status, page
15)
SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL
Prior to the annuity payout date, the owner of a contract may surrender (totally
withdraw the value of) his or her contract for its accumulation value or elect a
partial (at least $100) withdrawal therefrom. These transactions may be subject
to the contingent deferred sales charge described on page 8. Such charge is a
percentage of the total amount withdrawn. For example, if a partial withdrawal
of $100 is requested, Ohio National Life would pay you $100, but the total
amount deducted from the accumulation value would be $108.40 (i.e., $108.40 x
7 3/4% = $8.40). Unless otherwise specified, the withdrawal will be made
pro-rata from the values of each subaccount. The amount available for
withdrawal is the sum of the subaccount values less the contingent deferred
sales charge, if any. In the case of a complete surrender, the amount payable
is also reduced by the amount of the contract administration charge. Payment by
Ohio National Life shall be made within seven days from the date of receipt of
the request for such payment except as it may be deferred under the
circumstances described below. For tax consequences of a surrender or
withdrawal, see Federal Tax Status, page 15.
Occasionally Ohio National Life may receive a request for a surrender or partial
withdrawal which includes contract values derived from purchase payments which
have not cleared the banking system. Ohio National Life may delay mailing that
portion which relates to such payments until the check for the purchase payment
has cleared. Ohio National Life requires the return of the contract in the case
of a complete surrender.
10
<PAGE> 15
The right to withdraw may be suspended or the date of payment postponed (1) for
any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than
customary weekend and holiday closings) or during which trading on the Exchange,
as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, is restricted; (2) for
any period during which an emergency, as determined by the Commission, exists as
a result of which disposal of securities held in the Fund is not reasonably
practical, or it is not reasonably practical to determine the value of the
Fund's net assets; or (3) or such other periods as the Commission may by order
permit for the protection of security holders.
TRANSFERS AMONG SUBACCOUNTS
Contract values may be transferred from one subaccount to another upon the
request of the owner. Transfers may be made at any time during the accumulation
period. The amount of any such transfer must be at least $300 (or the entire
value of the contract's interest in a subaccount, if less). Ohio National Life
reserves the right to limit the number, frequency, method or amount of
transfers. Transfers from any portfolio of the Fund on any one day may be
limited to 1% of the previous day's total net assets of that portfolio if Ohio
National Life or the Fund, in its or their discretion, believes that the
portfolio might otherwise be damaged. After the annuity payout date, transfers
among subaccounts can only be made once each calendar quarter. Such transfers
may then be made without a transfer fee. (See Transfer Fee, page 8, and
Transfers After Annuity Payout Date, page 13).
SCHEDULED TRANSFERS (DOLLAR COST AVERAGING)
Ohio National Life administers a scheduled transfer ("DCA") program enabling you
to preauthorize automatic monthly or quarterly transfers of a specified dollar
amount from any variable subaccount(s) to any other subaccount(s), including the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account. Each DCA transfer must be at least $500 and at
least 12 DCA transfers must be scheduled. No transfer fee is charged for DCA
transfers. Ohio National Life may discontinue the DCA program at any time. You
may also discontinue further DCA transfers by giving Ohio National Life written
notice at least 7 business days before the next scheduled transfer.
DCA generally has the effect of reducing the risk of purchasing at the top, and
selling at the bottom, of market cycles. DCA transfers from a fund with a
stabilized net asset value, such as the Money Market subaccount, will generally
reduce the average total cost of indirectly purchasing Fund shares because
greater numbers of shares will be purchased when the share prices are lower than
when prices are higher. However, DCA does not assure you of a profit, nor does
it protect against losses in a declining market. Moreover, for transfers from a
subaccount not having a stabilized net asset value, DCA will have the effect of
reducing the average price of the shares being redeemed. DCA might also be used
to systematically transfer accumulation values from variable subaccounts to the
General Accumulation Account, in anticipation of retirement, in order to reduce
the risk of making a single transfer during a low market.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
If the contract owner first submits a pre-authorization form to Ohio National
Life, transfers may be made by telephoning Ohio National Life, between 9:00 a.m.
and 3:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on days that it is open for business, at
1-800-635-3225. Ohio National Life will honor pre-authorized telephone transfer
instructions from anyone who is able to provide the personal identifying
information requested, but reserves the right to refuse to honor any such
request if that seems prudent. Telephone transfer requests will not be honored
after the annuitant's death. Ohio National Life will use reasonable procedures
to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine. (Otherwise, Ohio National
Life may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions.) A written confirmation will be sent following each telephone
transfer.
DEATH BENEFIT
In the event of the death of the annuitant prior to the annuity payout date, the
contract provides a death benefit to be paid to a designated beneficiary. The
amount of the death benefit will be determined as of the end of the valuation
period in which written notice of death of the annuitant is received by Ohio
National Life. It will be paid in one sum into an interest-bearing checking
account established in the beneficiary's name with Bank One, Springfield,
Illinois, unless the owner or beneficiary elects settlement under one or more of
the settlement options provided in the contract. The checking account will bear
interest based upon then current money market rates. The beneficiary will then
be able to write checks against such account at any time and in any amount up to
the total in the account. Such checks must be for a minimum of $250. The amount
of death benefit is the accumulation value of the contract or, if greater, the
total purchase payments made less any partial withdrawals.

OHIO NATIONAL LIFE EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT
Ohio National Life and its affiliated companies offer a credit on the purchase
of contracts by any of their employees, directors or retirees, or their spouse
or the surviving spouse of a deceased retiree, covering any of the foregoing or
any of their minor children, or any of their children ages 18 to 21 who is
either (i) living in the purchaser's household or (ii) a full-time college
student being supported by the purchaser, or any of the purchaser's minor
grandchildren under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. This credit is treated as
additional income under the contract. The amount of the credit equals 3.2% of
all purchase payments made in the first contract year and 5.5% of purchase
payments made in the second through sixth contract years. Ohio National Life
credits the Guaranteed Accumulation Account of the employee's contract in the
foregoing amounts at the time of each payment made by the employee.
ANNUITY PERIOD
ANNUITY PAYOUT DATE
Annuity payments under a contract will begin on the annuity payout date. This
date is selected by the owner at the time the contract is issued and must be at
least 30 days after the contract date. It may be changed from time to time by
the owner so long as the annuity payout date selected is the first day of any
month at least 30 days after the date of such change. The contract restricts the
annuity payout date to not later than the first of the month following the
annuitant's 75th birthday; however, this restriction may be waived by mutual
agreement between Ohio National Life and the owner.
The contracts include Ohio National Life's assurance that annuity payments will
be paid for the lifetime of the annuitant in accordance with the annuity rates
contained in the contract, regardless of actual mortality experience.
Once annuity payments commence, the contract cannot be surrendered for cash
except that, upon the death of the annuitant, the beneficiary shall be entitled
to surrender the contract for the commuted value of any remaining period-certain
payments.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
The owner may elect one or more of the following annuity options, and may change
such election anytime before the annuity payout date.
Option 1(a): Life Annuity with installment payments for the lifetime of the
annuitant (under this option it is possible for the annuitant to
receive only one payment; this could happen if the annuitant
should die before receiving the second payment; there is no
residual value of the contract after annuitant's death).
Option 1(b): Life Annuity with installment payments guaranteed for five years
and continuing thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
annuitant.
Option 1(c): Life Annuity with installment payments guaranteed for ten years and
continuing thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
annuitant.
Option 1(d): Installment Refund Life Annuity with payments guaranteed for a
period certain and continuing thereafter during the remaining
lifetime of the annuitant. The number of period-certain payments
is equal to the amount applied under this option divided by the
amount of the first payment.
Option 2(a): Joint & Survivor Life Annuity with installment payments during the
lifetime of an annuitant and continuing during the lifetime of a
designated contingent annuitant (under this option it is possible
for the annuitant and contingent annuitant to receive only one
payment; this could happen if both were to die before receiving
the second payment).
Option 2(b): Joint & Survivor Life Annuity with installment payments guaranteed
for ten years and continuing thereafter during the remaining
lifetime of the annuitant or a designated contingent annuitant.
Unless the contract owner directs otherwise, as of the annuity payout date the
contract values will be applied to provide annuity payments pro-rata from each
subaccount in the same proportion as the contract values immediately prior to
the annuity payout date.
If no election is in effect on the annuity payout date, the accumulation value
of the contract will be applied under Option 1(c) with the beneficiary as payee
for an remaining period-certain installments payable after the death of the
annuitant.
12
<PAGE> 17
Options 2(a) and 2(b) are available only with the consent of Ohio National Life
if the contingent annuitant is not related to the annuitant.
Other settlement options are available as agreed to by Ohio National Life.
DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF THE FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT
The first variable annuity payment is determined by applying the accumulation
value for each subaccount in accordance with the settlement option tables
contained in the contract. The rates contained in those tables depend upon the
annuitant's (and any contingent annuitant's) age and sex and the option
selected. The accumulation value to be applied is determined at the end of a
valuation period (selected by Ohio National Life and uniformly applied) not more
than 10 valuation periods before the annuity payout date.
If the amount to be applied under an option is less than $5,000, the option
shall not be available and accumulation value shall be paid in a single sum to
the annuitant. If the first periodic payment under any option would be less than
$25, Ohio National Life reserves the right to change the frequency of payments
so that the first such payment is at least $25.
ANNUITY UNIT AND THE DETERMINATION OF SUBSEQUENT PAYMENTS
Subsequent variable annuity payments will vary to reflect the investment
performance of each applicable subaccount. The amount of each subsequent payment
is determined by annuity units. The number of annuity units for each subaccount
is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the first annuity payment from
each subaccount by the value of the subaccount annuity unit for the same
valuation period used to determine the accumulation value of the contract
applied to provide annuity payments. This number of annuity units remains fixed
during the annuity payment period unless changed as provided below.
The annuity unit value for each subaccount was set at $10 for the valuation
period as of which the first variable annuity payable from each subaccount of
VAB was calculated. The annuity unit value for each subsequent valuation period
equals the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period
multiplied by the net investment factor (see page 9) for such subsequent
valuation period and by a factor (0.9998925 for a one-day valuation period) to
neutralize the assumed interest rate discussed below.
The dollar amount of each subsequent variable annuity payment is equal to the
fixed number of annuity units for each subaccount multiplied by the value of the
annuity unit for the valuation period.
The annuity rate tables contained in the contracts are based on the Progressive
Annuity Mortality Table with compound interest at the effective rate of 4% per
year. A higher interest assumption would mean a higher initial annuity payment
but a more slowly rising series of subsequent annuity payments if annuity unit
values were increasing (or a more rapidly falling series of subsequent annuity
payments if annuity unit values were decreasing). A lower interest assumption
would have the opposite effect. If the actual net investment rate were equal to
the assumed interest rate, annuity payments would be level.
TRANSFERS AFTER ANNUITY PAYOUT DATE
After annuity payments have been made for at least 12 months, the annuitant can,
once each 12 months, change the subaccount(s) on which variable annuity payments
are based. On at least 30 days written notice to Ohio National Life at its home
office, that portion of the periodic variable annuity payment directed by the
annuitant will be changed to reflect the investment results of a different
subaccount. The annuity payment immediately after such change will be the amount
that would have been paid without such change. Subsequent payments will reflect
the new mix of subaccount allocation.
OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS
ASSIGNMENT
Any amount payable in settlement of the contracts may not be commuted,
anticipated, assigned or otherwise encumbered. To the extent permitted by law,
no such amounts shall be subject in any way to any legal process to subject them
to payment of any claims against an annuitant before the annuity payout date. A
contract may be collaterally assigned and the ownership may be transferred by
the owner before the annuity payout.
13
<PAGE> 18
PERIODIC REPORTS
Ohio National Life will furnish each owner, once each calendar quarter prior to
the annuity payout date, a statement showing the number of accumulation units
credited to the contract by subaccount and the accumulation unit value of each
unit as of the end of the preceding quarter. In addition, as long as the
contract remains in effect, Ohio National Life will forward such periodic
reports as may be furnished it by the Fund.
SUBSTITUTION FOR FUND SHARES
If investment in the Fund is no longer possible or in Ohio National Life's
judgment becomes inappropriate to the purposes of the contract, Ohio National
Life may substitute one or more other mutual funds. Substitution may be made
with respect to both existing investments and the investment of future purchase
payments. However, no such substitution will be made without any necessary
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also add other
investment portfolios of the Fund or of additional mutual funds as eligible
investments of VAB.
CONTRACT OWNER INQUIRIES
Any questions from contract owners should be directed to Ohio National Life,
Variable Annuity Administration, P.O. Box 2669, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201;
telephone (513) 794-6452.
PERFORMANCE DATA
Ohio National Life may advertise performance data for the various Fund
portfolios showing the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit
based on the performance of the applicable portfolio over a period of time
(usually a calendar year). Such percentage change is determined by dividing the
increase (or decrease) in value for the unit by the accumulation unit value at
the beginning of the period. This percentage figure will reflect the deduction
of any asset-based charges under the contracts but will not reflect the
deduction of any applicable contract administration charge or contingent
deferred sales charge. The deduction of any applicable contract administration
charge or contingent deferred sales charge would reduce any percentage increase
or make greater any percentage decrease.
Any such advertising will also include average annual total return figures
calculated as shown in the Statement of Additional Information. The average
annual total return figures will reflect the deduction of applicable contract
administration charges and contingent deferred sales charges as well as
applicable asset-based charges.
Ohio National Life may also distribute sales literature comparing separate
account performance to the Consumer Price Index or to such established market
indexes as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Index, IBC's Money Fund Reports, Lehman Brothers Bond Indices, the Morgan
Stanley Europe Australia Far East Index, Morgan Stanley World Index, Russell
2000 Index, or other variable annuity separate accounts.
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
The following discussion of federal income tax treatment of amounts received
under a variable annuity contract is not exhaustive, does not purport to cover
all situations, and is not intended as tax advice. A qualified tax adviser
should always be consulted with regard to the application of law to individual
circumstances. Tax laws can change, even with respect to contracts that have
already been issued. Tax law revisions, with unfavorable consequences to
contracts offered by this prospectus, could have retroactive effect on
previously issued contracts or on subsequent voluntary transactions in
previously issued contracts.
Ohio National Life is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Since the operations of VAB are a part
of, and are taxed with, the operations of Ohio National Life, VAB is not
separately taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the
Code.
The contracts described in this prospectus are considered annuity contracts
under Section 72 of the Code, which generally provides for taxation of
annuities. Under existing provisions of the Code, if the owner of the contract
is a natural person, any increase in the accumulation value of the contract is
not taxable to you as the owner or annuitant until you receive it, either in the
form of annuity payments, as contemplated by the contract, or in some other form
of distribution. With certain exceptions, where the owner of the contract is a
non-natural person (corporation, partnership or trust) any increase in the
14
<PAGE> 19
accumulation value of the contract attributable to purchase payments made after
February 28, 1986 will be treated as ordinary income received or accrued by the
owner during the current tax year.
When annuity payments commence under the contract each payment is taxable under
Section 72 of the Code as ordinary income in the year of receipt if the
annuitant has neither paid any portion of the purchase payments for the contract
nor has previously been taxed on any portion of the purchase payments. If any
portion of the purchase payments has been paid from or included in your taxable
income, this aggregate amount will be considered your "investment in the
contract." You will be entitled to exclude from your taxable income a portion of
each annuity payment equal to your "investment in the contract" divided by the
period of expected annuity payments, determined by your life expectancy and the
form of annuity benefit. Once your "investment in the contract" is recovered,
the entire portion of each annuity payment will be included in your taxable
income.
If an election is made to receive the accumulated value in a single sum in lieu
of annuity payments, the net amount so received will be treated as taxable
income to the extent it exceeds the "investment in the contract." A partial
withdrawal of contract values is taxable as income to the extent that the
accumulated value of the contract immediately before the payment exceeds the
"investment in the contract." Such a withdrawal is treated as a distribution of
earnings first and only second as a recovery of your "investment in the
contract." Any part of the value of the contract that is assigned or pledged to
secure a loan will be taxed as if it had been a partial withdrawal and may be
subject to a penalty tax.
There is a penalty tax equal to 10% of any amount that must be included in gross
income for tax purposes. The penalty will not apply to a redemption that is (1)
received on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2; (2) made to a beneficiary
on or after the death of the annuitant; (3) attributable to the taxpayer's
becoming disabled; (4) made as a series of substantially equal periodic payments
for the life of the annuitant (or joint lives of the annuitant and beneficiary);
(5) from a contract that is a qualified funding asset for purposes of a
structured settlement; (6) made under an annuity contract that is purchased with
a single premium and with an annuity payout date not later than a year from the
purchase of the annuity, or (7) incident to divorce. If an election is made not
to have withholding apply to the early withdrawal or if an insufficient amount
is withheld, the contract owner may be responsible for payment of estimated tax.
You may also incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if the withholding
and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. Failure to provide your taxpayer
identification number will automatically subject any payments under the contract
to withholding.
Section 1035(a) of the Code provides for tax-free exchanges of annuity
contracts, with the new contract maintaining the same tax status as the old. To
the extent that the value of a new contract is allocable to payments made prior
to August 14, 1982 under the old contract, any withdrawal of contract values
will be treated as a return of the investment in the contract to the extent
available. Amounts in excess of the investment in the contract will be treated
as ordinary income. Such contracts will be subject to the penalty tax only with
respect to amounts attributable to payments made after August 13, 1982.
When a contract is issued in connection with a deferred compensation plan or
arrangement, all rights, discretions and powers relative to the contract, are
vested in the employer and you must look only to your employer for the payment
of deferred compensation benefits. Generally an annuitant will have no
"investment in the contract" and amounts received by you from your employer
under a deferred compensation arrangement will be taxable in full as ordinary
income in the year of receipt.
PRIOR CONTRACTS
ANNUAL PAYMENT VARIABLE ANNUITY
Prior to December 15, 1981, Ohio National Life and VAB issued Annual Payment
Variable Annuity contracts, some of which by their terms remain active and under
which payments may still be made. These contracts called for deductions from
purchase payments in the following amounts:

*Plus 50(cent) per payment
</TABLE>
These deductions are in lieu of any contingent deferred sales charge, contract
administration charge and deduction for administrative expense as provided for
in the contracts described in this prospectus. The deduction for mortality and
expense risk undertakings is 1% of the contract value on an annual basis. Such
deduction may be decreased by Ohio National Life at any time and may be
increased not more frequently than annually to not more than 1.5% on an annual
basis.
These prior contracts provide for annuity payments on a 3 1/2% assumed interest
rate which results in a somewhat smaller initial annuity payment, but one that
rises more rapidly in a rising market and falls more slowly in a declining
market. These contracts provide for accumulation of values only in what now
constitutes the Equity subaccount of VAB and/or on a fixed-dollar guaranteed
basis within the general assets of Ohio National Life with limited transfer
privileges between such fixed-dollar accumulation and the Equity subaccount.
VARIABLE INTEREST ANNUITY
From July 15, 1981 until November 2, 1982 Ohio National Life and the Variable
Interest Account, a separate account of Ohio National Life funded by the Money
Market Portfolio of the Fund, issued Variable Interest Annuity contracts. Under
the terms of these contracts, purchase payments can be continued until the
annuity commencement date specified therein. These contracts are substantially
the same as the contracts described in this prospectus except that there is no
right to transfer the contract values to any other underlying funding media.
These contracts also included a guarantee of the investment performance. Such
investment guarantee is regarded as a separate security offered by Ohio National
Life. The deduction for mortality, expense and investment risk undertaking is
1.3% of the contract value on an annual basis. Such deduction may be decreased
by Ohio National Life at any time and may be increased not more frequently than
annually to not more than 2% on an annual basis. These contracts do not provide
for a deduction from contract value for administrative expense. They do provide
for a contract administration charge and a contingent deferred sales charge.
FLEXIBLE PAYMENT COMBINATION ANNUITY
From December 1, 1981 until November 2, 1982, Ohio National Life and VAB issued
Flexible Payment Combination Annuity contracts. Under the terms of these
contracts purchase payments can be continued until the annuity commencement date
specified therein. These contracts are substantially the same as the contracts
described in this prospectus except that values can be accumulated only in what
now constitutes the Equity subaccount of VAB and/or within the general assets of
Ohio National Life on a fixed-dollar guaranteed basis. A deduction is made at
the end of each valuation period for the administrative expense and mortality
and expense risk undertakings equal to 1.1% on an annual basis. Such deduction
may be decreased by Ohio National at any time and may be increased not more
frequently than annually to not more than 1.75% on an annual basis. Although
these contracts provide for limited transfer of values between the Equity
subaccount and the general assets of Ohio National Life, such transfer is only
permitted during the accumulation period.
MULTIPLE FUNDED COMBINATION ANNUITY
From November 2, 1982 to September, 10, 1984, Ohio National Life and VAB issued
Multiple Funded Combination Annuity contracts substantially the same as the
contracts described in this prospectus. However, such prior contracts include a
guarantee of the investment performance of the Money Market subaccount and a
deduction therefor at the end of each valuation period equal to 0.2% of Money
Market assets on an annual basis. Such investment guarantee is regarded as a
separate security offered by Ohio National Life. In addition, the rate for the
contingent deferred sales charge for such prior contracts is 5% and the
deduction for risk undertakings is 1.3%.

CUSTODIAN
Ohio National Life has executed an agreement with Star Bank, N.A. ("the Bank"),
Cincinnati, Ohio, pursuant to which the shares of Ohio National Fund, Inc.
("Fund") and other assets credited to VAB will be held in the custody of the
Bank. The agreement provides that the Bank will purchase Fund shares at their
net asset value determined as of the end of the valuation period of VAB during
which the purchase payment is received by Ohio National Life for outstanding
contracts or, in the case of new contracts, the value determined as of the end
of the valuation period during which the contract is issued. The Bank effects
redemptions of Fund shares held by VAB upon instructions from Ohio National Life
at net asset value determined as of the end of the valuation period of VAB
during which a redemption request is received or made by Ohio National Life. In
addition, the Bank maintains appropriate records with respect to all
transactions in Fund shares relative to VAB.
The agreement requires the Bank to have at all times an aggregate capital,
surplus and undivided profit of not less than $2 million and prohibits
resignation by the Bank until (a) a successor custodian bank having the
qualifications enumerated above shall have agreed to serve as custodian, or (b)
VAB has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of such liquidation properly
distributed. Subject to these conditions the agreement of custodianship may be
terminated by either party upon sixty days written notice. For its services as
custodian, the Bank will be paid a fee to be agreed upon from time to time by
the Bank and Ohio National Life.
INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The financial statements of VAB as of December 31, 1995 and for the periods
indicated herein and of Ohio National Life's consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the periods indicated herein have been
included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP,
independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon
the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The report on
the consolidated financial statements of Ohio National Life refers to a change
in accounting and reporting by mutual life insurance enterprises and insurance
enterprises for certain long-duration participating contracts in 1995.
UNDERWRITER
The offering of the contracts is continuous. At the date of this Statement of
Additional Information, The O.N. Equity Sales Company ("ONESCO"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ohio National Life, was the principal underwriter of the
contracts. The aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to ONESCO with
respect to contracts issued by VAB, and the amounts retained by ONESCO, for each
of the last three years have been:

Pending receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, Ohio National Equities, Inc.,
a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio National Life, will become the principal
underwriter of the contracts.
CALCULATION OF MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNT YIELD
The current yield of the Money Market subaccount for the seven days ended on
December 31, 1995, was 4.33%. This was calculated by determining the net change,
exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing
account having a balance of one accumulation unit of the subaccount at the
beginning of the seven-day period, dividing the net change in subaccount value
by the value of the subaccount at the beginning of the base period to obtain the
base period return, and multiplying the difference by 365/7. The resulting
figure is carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent.
TOTAL RETURN
The average annual compounded rate of return for a contract with respect to a
particular subaccount over a given period is found by equating the initial
amount invested to the ending redeemable value using the following formula:
P(1 + T)n (exponent) = ERV
where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
T = the average annual total return,
n = the number of years, and
ERV = the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
beginning-of-period payment at the end of the period
(or fractional portion thereof).
For this purpose, it should be noted that the current series of contracts were
initially offered September 10, 1984. Hypothetical results based upon the
performance of the subaccounts prior to that date assume that the same charges
and deductions applicable to the current contracts were in effect from the
inception of each corresponding portfolio of the Fund. Note also that, for
purposes of these calculations, the annual contract administration charge of $30
has been converted to an annualized percentage charge of 0.08%. This is based
upon an estimated average accumulation value of $36,600 for contracts in this
series. The actual effect that the contract administration charge would have on
total returns would be less than that percentage for contracts having a higher
accumulation value and greater than that percentage for contracts having a lower
accumulation value.
The average annual total returns for current contracts in each of the
subaccounts from the inception of the subaccount and for the one-, five- and
ten-year periods ending on December 31,

TRANSFER LIMITATIONS
To the extent that transfers, surrenders, partial withdrawals and annuity
payments from a subaccount exceed net purchase payments and transfers into that
subaccount, securities of the corresponding portfolio of the Fund may have to be
sold. Excessive sales of a portfolio's securities on short notice could be
detrimental to that portfolio and to contractowners with values allocated to the
corresponding subaccount. To protect the interests of all contractowners, Ohio
National Life reserves the right to limit the number, frequency, method or
amount of transfers. Transfers from any portfolio of the Fund on any one day may
be limited to 1% of the previous day's total net assets of that portfolio if
Ohio National Life or the Fund, in its or their discretion, believes that the
portfolio might otherwise be damaged.
If and when transfers must be so limited, some transfer requests will not be
made. In determining which requests will be made, scheduled transfers (that is,
those pursuant to a pre-existing dollar cost averaging program) will be made
first, followed by mailed written requests in the order postmarked and, lastly,
telephone and facsimile requests in the order received. Contractowners whose
transfer requests are not made will be so notified. Current SEC rules preclude
Ohio National Life from processing at a later date those requests that were not
made. Accordingly, a new transfer request would have to be submitted in order to
make a transfer that was not made because of these limitations.

Ohio National Variable Account B
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and contract owners'

misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by examination of the
underlying mutual fund. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Ohio National Variable Account

OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Ohio National Variable Account B (the Account) is a separate account of
The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (ONLIC) and all obligations
arising under variable annuity contracts are general corporate
obligations of ONLIC. The account has been registered as a unit
investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Assets of the Account are invested in shares of Ohio National Fund, Inc.
(the Fund), a diversified open-end management investment company. The
Fund's investments are subject to varying degrees of market, interest
and financial risks; the issuers' abilities to meet certain obligations
may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries.
Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according
to the Progressive Annuity Mortality Table. The assumed interest rate is
3.5 and 4.0 percent depending on the contract selected by the annuitant.
Charges to annuity reserves for adverse mortality and expense risk
experience are reimbursed to the Account by ONLIC.
Investments are valued at the net asset value of fund shares held at
December 31, 1995. Share transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Net realized capital gain or loss is determined on the basis of
average cost.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(2) INVESTMENTS
At December 31, 1995 the aggregate cost and number of shares of Ohio
National Fund, Inc. owned by the respective subaccounts were:

(4) RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
A deduction is made at the end of each valuation period, equal to 0.25%
on an annual basis, of the contract value for administrative expenses,
based on premiums established at the time the contracts are issued.
Although variable annuity payments differ according to the investment
performance of the Accounts, they are not affected by mortality or
expense experience because ONLIC assumes the expense risk and the
mortality risk under the contracts. ONLIC charges the Accounts' assets
for assuming those risks, based on the contract value at a rate of 0.25%
for mortality risk and 0.4% for expense risk on an annual basis.
The expense risk assumed by ONLIC is the risk that the deductions for
sales and administrative expenses provided for in the variable annuity
contract may prove insufficient to cover the cost of those terms.
The mortality risk results from a provision in the contract in which
ONLIC agrees to make annuity payments regardless of how long a
particular annuitant or other payee lives and how long all annuitants or
other payees as a class live if payment options involving life
contingencies are chosen. Those annuity payments are determined in
accordance with annuity purchase rate provisions established at the time
the contracts are issued.
(5) CONTRACT CHARGES
No deduction for a sales charge is made from purchase payments. A
contingent deferred sales charge ranging from 0% to 6% may be assessed
by ONLIC when a contract is surrendered or a partial withdrawal of
accumulation value is made before the annuity payout date.
A transfer fee is charged for each transfer from one subaccount to
another. The fee is charged against the contract owner's equity in the
subaccount from which the transfer is effected.
State premium taxes presently range from 0% to 2 1/2% for these
contracts. In those jurisdictions permitting, such taxes will be
deducted when annuity payments begin. Elsewhere, they will be deducted
from purchase payments.
(6) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations
of ONLIC which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal
Revenue Code. Taxes are the responsibility of the contract owner upon
termination or withdrawal. No Federal income taxes are payable under
present law on dividend income or capital gains distribution from the
Fund shares held in the Account or on capital gains realized by the
Account on redemption of the Fund shares.

National Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Ohio National
Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 3, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.

THE OHIO NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
(000's omitted)
(1) ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION POLICY AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
(a) ORGANIZATION AND CONSOLIDATION POLICY
The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (ONLIC) is a mutual life
insurance company. Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation
(ONLAC) is a wholly-owned stock life insurance subsidiary
included in the consolidated financial statements. The
Company's other wholly-owned subsidiaries are not life
insurance enterprises and are included in the consolidated
financial statements on an equity basis. These
non-insurance subsidiaries are not material to the Company's
consolidated results of operations or financial position.
The consolidated financial statements also include The
Pennsylvania National Life Insurance Company (PNLIC), a
former wholly-owned subsidiary. PNLIC was purchased in
July 1993 for $16 million and on the date of acquisition
assets totaled $150 million and equity was $9.7 million.
On July 1, 1994, assets of $4.6 million and all outstanding
PNLIC common stock plus paid-in capital and surplus totaling
$4.6 million were sold to an unrelated party for $5 million.
All of the remaining assets, liabilities and obligations of
PNLIC were transferred to ONLAC.
ONLIC and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the
"Company".
(b) BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
ONLIC and ONLAC are life and health insurers licensed in 46 states
and the District of Columbia. The Company offers a full
range of life, health and annuity products through exclusive
agents and other distribution channels and is subject to
competition from other insurers throughout the United
States. The Company is subject to regulation by the
Insurance Departments of states in which it is licensed and
undergoes periodic examinations by those departments.
The following is a description of the most significant risks
facing life and health insurers and how the Company
mitigates those risks:
LEGAL/REGULATORY RISK is the risk that changes in the legal
or regulatory environment in which an insurer operates will
create additional expenses not anticipated by the insurer in
pricing its products. That is, regulatory initiatives
designed to reduce insurer profits, new legal theories or
insurance company
(Continued)

<PAGE> 43
THE OHIO NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(1) ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION POLICY AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
(b) BUSINESS DESCRIPTION, CONTINUED
insolvencies through guaranty fund assessments may create
costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the
consolidated financial statements. The Company mitigates
this risk by offering a wide range of product and by
operating throughout the United States, thus reducing its
exposure to any single product or jurisdiction, and also by
employing underwriting practices which identify and minimize
the adverse impact of this risk.
CREDIT RISK is that risk that issuers of securities owned by
the Company or mortgagors on mortgage loans on real estate
owned by the Company will default or that other parties,
including reinsurers, which owe the Company money, will not
pay. The Company minimizes this risk by adhering to a
conservative investment strategy, by maintaining sound
reinsurance and credit and collection policies and by
providing for any amounts deemed uncollectible.
INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk that interest rates will
change and cause a decrease in the value of an insurer's
investments. This change in rates may cause certain
interest-sensitive products to become uncompetitive or may
cause disintermediation. The Company mitigates this risk
by charging fees for non-conformance with certain policy
provisions, by offering products that transfer this risk to
the purchaser, and/or by attempting to match the maturity
schedule of its assets with the expected payouts of its
liabilities. To the extent that liabilities come due more
quickly than assets mature, an insurer would have to borrow
funds or sell assets prior to maturity and potentially
recognize a gain or loss.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that
materially affect financial reporting are summarized below. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
which differ from statutory accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by regulatory authorities. See Notes 3 and 4.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
(a) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS AND RELATED GAINS AND LOSSES
Prior to January 1, 1994, the Company classified fixed maturities
in accordance with the then existing accounting standards and,
accordingly, fixed maturity securities were carried at
amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or
discount, since the Company had both the ability and intent to
hold those securities until maturity. Equity securities were
carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses,
net of deferred Federal income tax, reflected as a separate
component of equity.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 -
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities (SFAS 115). SFAS 115 requires fixed maturities and
equity securities to be classified as either held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading. The Company has no trading
securities. The Company adopted SFAS 115 as of January 1,
1994, with no effect on consolidated net income. See Note 3
regarding the effect on consolidated equity.
Fixed maturity securities are classified as held-to-maturity when
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the
securities to maturity and are stated at amortized cost.
Fixed maturity securities not classified as held-to-maturity
and all equity securities are classified as available-for-sale
and are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and
losses, net of adjustments to deferred policy acquisition
costs and deferred Federal income tax, reported as a separate
component of shareholder's equity that would have been
required as a charge or credit to operations had such
unrealized amounts been realized. The Company records
valuation allowances equal to deferred tax benefits resulting
from unrealized losses of investments.
Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at the unpaid principal
balance less valuation allowances. The Company provides
valuation allowances for impairments of mortgage loans on real
estate based on a review by portfolio managers. The
measurement of impaired loans is based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the fair value
of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.
Loans in foreclosure and loans considered to be impaired as of
the balance sheet date are placed on non-accrual status and
written down to the fair value of the existing property to
derive a new cost basis. Cash receipts on non-accrual status
mortgage loans on real estate are included in interest income
in the period received.

a Loan (SFAS 114), which was amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118 - Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure, in
October 1994. These pronouncements require the measurement
of impaired loans be based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent. The impact on the consolidated
financial statements of adopting SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 in 1995
was not material.
Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
valuation allowances. Other long-term investments are carried
on the equity basis, adjusted for valuation allowances.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are
determined on the basis of specific security identification.
Estimates for valuation allowances and other than temporary
declines are included in realized gains and losses on
investments.
(b) REVENUES AND BENEFITS
TRADITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE PRODUCTS
Traditional life insurance products include those products with
fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist
primarily of whole life, limited-payment life, term life and
certain annuities with life contingencies. Premiums for
traditional life insurance products are recognized as revenue
when due and collected. Benefits and expenses are associated
with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits
over the life of the contract. This association is
accomplished by the provision for future policy benefits and
the deferral and amortization of policy acquisition costs.
UNIVERSAL LIFE AND INVESTMENT PRODUCTS
Universal life products include universal life, variable universal
life and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies.
Investment products consist primarily of individual and group
deferred annuities, annuities without life contingencies and
guaranteed investment contracts. Revenues for universal life
and investment products consist of net investment income and
cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender charges
that have been earned and assessed against policy account
balances during the period. Policy benefits and claims that
are charged to expense include benefits and claims incurred in
the period in excess of related policy account balances,
maintenance costs and interest credited to policy account
balances.

(b) REVENUES AND BENEFITS, CONTINUED
ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE
Accident and health insurance premiums are recognized as revenue
in accordance with the terms of the policies. Policy claims
are charged to expense in the period that the claims are
incurred.
(c) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions,
certain expenses of the policy issue and underwriting
department and certain variable agency expenses have been
deferred. For traditional non-participating life insurance
products, these deferred acquisition costs are predominantly
being amortized with interest over the premium paying period
of the related policies in proportion to premium revenue.
Such anticipated premium revenue was estimated using the same
assumptions as were used for computing liabilities for future
policy benefits. For participating life insurance products,
deferred policy acquisition costs are being amortized in
proportion to gross margins of the related policies. Gross
margins are determined for each issue year and are equal to
premiums plus investment income less death claims, surrender
benefits, administrative costs, expected policyholder
dividends, and the increase in reserve for future policy
benefits. For universal life and investment products,
deferred policy acquisition costs are being amortized with
interest over the lives of the policies in relation to the
present value of the estimated future gross profits from
projected interest margins, cost of insurance, policy
administration and surrender charges. Beginning January 1,
1994, deferred policy acquisition costs for participating life
and universal life business are adjusted to reflect the impact
of unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities
available-for-sale (see Note 2(a)).
(d) SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate Account assets and liabilities represent contractholders'
funds which have been segregated into accounts with specific
investment objectives. The investment income and gains or
losses of these accounts accrue directly to the
contractholders. The activity of the Separate Accounts is not
reflected in the consolidated statements of income and cash
flows except for the fees the Company receives for
administrative services and risks assumed. Amounts provided
by the Company to establish Separate Account investment
portfolios, seed money, are not included in Separate Account
liabilities.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
(e) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Future policy benefits for traditional life have been calculated
using a net level premium method based on estimates of
mortality, morbidity, investment yields and withdrawals which
were used or which were being experienced at the time the
policies were issued, rather than the assumptions prescribed
by state regulatory authorities (see Note 6).
Future policy benefits for annuity policies in the accumulation
phase, universal life and variable universal life policies
have been calculated based on participants' aggregate account
values.
(f) PARTICIPATING BUSINESS
Participating business represents approximately 43% of the
Company's ordinary life insurance in force in 1995. In 1994
and 1993 participating business represented approximately 45%
and 46% of the Company's ordinary life insurance in force.
The provision for policyholder dividends is based on current
dividend scales. Future dividends are provided for in future
policy benefits based on dividend scales in effect at December
31, 1995.
(g) REINSURANCE CEDED
Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits
and claims incurred are deducted from the respective income
and expense accounts. Assets and liabilities related to
reinsurance ceded are reported on a gross basis.
(h) FEDERAL INCOME TAX
The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return. The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for
income tax. Under the asset and liability method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under this method, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts
expected to be realized.

(i) USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses
for the reporting period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in
determining the liability for future policy benefits and
claims and contingencies, and those used in determining
valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate and
real estate. Although some variability is inherent in these
estimates, management believes the amounts provided are
adequate.
(j) CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the
Company considers all short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(3) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 120, Accounting and Reporting by Mutual
Life Insurance Enterprises and Insurance Enterprises for Certain
Long-Duration Participating Contracts (SFAS 120), thereby adopting
Interpretation No. 40, Applicability of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles to Mutual Life Insurance and Other
Enterprises (the Interpretation). The Interpretation clarified
that enterprises, including mutual life insurance enterprises,
that issue financial statements described as prepared "in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles" are
required to apply all applicable authoritative accounting
pronouncements in preparing those statements. SFAS 120 extended
the applicability of certain SFASs to mutual life insurance
enterprises, as well as extended the effective date of the
Interpretation. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 120 and the
Interpretation, the Company, consistent with industry practice,
issued financial statements in accordance with accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by the Department of Insurance
of the State of Ohio (statutory accounting), which were considered
generally accepted accounting principles for mutual life insurance
enterprises. The Company elected to early adopt SFAS 120 and the
Interpretation in 1995 and has restated the consolidated financial
statement amounts for 1994 and 1993. As a result, net income was
increased by $150,689 on January 1, 1993.
The Company's significant accounting policies adopted in connection with
its implementation of SFAS 120 and the Interpretation are
described in Note 2. Those policies differ in some respects from
the statutory accounting previously followed by the Company as
follows:

(3) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, CONTINUED
(1) the costs related to acquiring business, principally
commissions and certain policy issue expenses, are amortized over
the period benefited rather than charged to income in the year
incurred; (2) future policy benefit reserves are based on
anticipated Company experience for lapses, mortality and
investment yield, rather than statutory mortality and interest
requirements, without consideration of withdrawals; (3) premiums
for universal life contracts and investment contracts are recorded
as deposits on the balance sheet; revenues consist of investment
income and contract charges net of interest credited, death
benefits and administrative costs; (4) statutory required balances
such as "nonadmitted assets", asset valuation reserve and interest
maintenance reserve are not recognized; (5) bonds are carried at
amortized cost or fair value depending on the Company's intent to
hold or sell such securities, rather than at amortized cost, (6)
assets and liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance balances;
(7) deferred Federal income taxes are provided for temporary
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities and their related tax basis; (8) long-term debt
with provisions restricting interest payments and principal
repayments to those approved by the state insurance department
(surplus notes) are carried as notes payable and not as a separate
component of surplus; and (9) other costs, including those related
to postretirement benefits, pensions, and compensated absences are
charged as expenses in a different manner.
The cumulative effect on equity at January 1, 1993 of adopting SFAS 120
and the Interpretation, is recognized in the accompanying
consolidated statement of income, and the significant components
are as follows:

penalty provisions. The average interest rate credited on
investment product policies was 7.0%, 7.4% and 7.9% for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The liability for future policy benefits for traditional life policies

On July 11, 1994, the Company issued $50,000,000, 8.875% surplus notes,
due July 15, 2004. The notes have been issued in accordance with
Section 3941.13 of the Ohio Revised Code. Principal repayments
and interest payments, scheduled semi-annually, must be approved
for payment by the Director of the Department of Insurance of the
State of Ohio. All issuance costs have been capitalized and will
be amortized over the terms of the notes.

(8) FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Prior to 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act of 1959 as
amended by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (DRA), permitted the
deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory income under
certain circumstances. In these situations, the deferred income
was accumulated in the Policyholders' Surplus Account (PSA).
Management considers the likelihood of distributions from the PSA
to be remote; therefore, no Federal income tax has been provided
for such distributions in the consolidated financial statements.
The DRA eliminated any additional deferrals to the PSA. Any
distributions from the PSA, however, will continue to be taxable
at the then current tax rate. The balance of the PSA is
approximately $5,257 as of December 31, 1995.
Total Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993 differs from the amount computed by applying the
U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before tax as follows:

The tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities that give
rise to significant components of the net deferred tax liability

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets
will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers primarily the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies
in making this assessment and believes it is more likely than not
the Company will realize the benefits of the remaining deductible
differences at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
(9) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS 107) requires disclosure
of fair value information about existing on and off-balance sheet
financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are
not available, fair value is based on estimates using present
value or other valuation techniques.
These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used,
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.
Although fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions
that management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions
could cause these estimates to vary materially. SFAS 107
excludes certain assets and liabilities, including insurance
contracts, other than policies such as annuities that are
classified as investment contracts from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts
presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The tax ramifications of the related unrealized gains and losses can have
a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been
considered in the estimates.

(9) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures:
CASH, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND POLICY LOANS
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for these
instruments approximate their fair value.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Fair value for fixed maturity securities is based on quoted
market prices, where available. For fixed maturity securities not
actively traded, fair value is estimated using values obtained from
independent pricing services, or, in the case of private placements,
is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current
market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of
the investments. The fair value for equity securities is based on
quoted market prices.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The fair value of assets held in Separate Accounts is based on
quoted market prices. The fair value of liabilities related to
Separate Accounts is the accumulated contract values in the Separate
Account portfolios.
MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE
The fair value for mortgage loans on real estate is estimated
using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently
being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit
ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for
purposes of the calculations. Fair value for mortgages in default is
valued at the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.
INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
Fair value for the Company's liabilities under investment type
contracts is disclosed using two methods. For investment contracts
without defined maturities, fair value is the amount payable on
demand. For investment contracts with known or determined maturities,
fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. Interest
rates used are similar to currently offered contracts with maturities
consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

(9) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED
NOTE PAYABLE
The fair value for the note payable was determined by discounting the
scheduled cash flows of the note using a market rate applicable
to the yield, credit quality and maturity of a similar debt instrument.
POLICYHOLDERS' DIVIDEND ACCUMULATION AND OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for
these instruments approximates their fair value.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments
subject to SFAS 107 were as follows as of December 31:

(10) ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DISCLOSURE
(a) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Company is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in a normal course of business through
management of its investment portfolio. The Company had
outstanding commitments to fund mortgage loans, bonds and
venture capital partnerships of approximately $195 million and
$112 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
These commitments involve, in varying degrees, elements of
credit and market risk in excess of amounts recognized in the
financial statements. The credit risk of all financial
instruments, whether on- or off-balance sheet, is controlled
through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.
(b) SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Mortgage loans collateralized by the underlying properties.
Collateral must meet or exceed 125% of the loan at the time
the loan is made. The Company grants mainly commercial
mortgage loans to customers throughout the United States. The
Company has a diversified loan portfolio. The summary below
depicts loan exposure of remaining principal balances by
geographic area and by type at December 31, 1995 and 1994:

The Company also maintains a qualified contributory defined contribution
progress sharing plan covering substantially all of its employees
and a qualified non-contributory defined contribution pension plan
covering career agents. These plans are funded through insurance
contracts issued by the Company.
Company contributions to the Progress Sharing Plan are in part based on
the net earnings of the Company and are payable at the sole
discretion of management. The expense reported for contributions
to the plan for 1995 and 1994 were $1,609 and $1,355,
respectively.
Contributions to the Career Agent's Pension Plan are subject to the

(12) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company currently offers eligible retirees the opportunity to
participate in a health plan. The Company has two health plans,
one is offered to home office employees, the other is offered to
career agents.
HOME OFFICE EMPLOYEE HEALTH PLAN
The Company provides a declining service schedule. Substantially
all home office employees may become eligible for these benefits
provided that the employee meets the age and years of service
requirements. The plan states that an employee becomes eligible as
follows: age 55 with 20 years of credited service at retirement,
age 56 with 18 years of service, age 57 with 16 years of service
grading to age 64 with two years of service. The health plan is
contributory with retirees contributing approximately 15% of
premium for coverage.
CAREER AGENTS HEALTH PLAN
Substantially all career agents may become eligible for these
benefits provided that the agent is at least age 55 and has 15
years of credited service at retirement. The health plan is
contributory, with retirees contributing approximately 47% of
medical costs.
Actuarial assumptions for the measurement of the December 31, 1995
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation include a discount
rate of 7.5% and an assumed health care cost trend rate of 12%,
declining 1% each year to an ultimate rate of 5%.
Actuarial assumptions for the measurement of the December 31, 1994
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the 1994 net
periodic postretirement benefit cost include a discount rate of
7.5% and an assumed health care cost trend rate of 13%, declining
1% each year an ultimate rate of 5%.
Actuarial assumptions used to determine the 1993 net periodic
postretirement benefit cost include a discount rate of 8% and an
assumed health care cost trend rate of 14%, declining 1% each year
to an ultimate rate of 5%.

assumed health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994
by $1,261 and $1,055, respectively, and the net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994 by $149 and $128, respectively.
(13) REGULATORY RISK-BASED CAPITAL, RETAINED EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
In January 1993, the NAIC adopted the life and health Risk-Based Capital
(RBC) formula. This model act requires every life and health
insurer to calculate its total adjusted capital and RBC
requirement, and provides for an insurance commissioner to
intervene if the insurer experiences financial difficulty. The
model act will become law in Ohio, the Company's domicile, in
March 1996. The formula includes components for asset risk,
liability risk, interest rate exposure and other factors. ONLIC
and ONLAC exceed the minimum risk-based capital requirements.

(13) REGULATORY RISK-BASED CAPITAL, RETAINED EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND
RESTRICTIONS, CONTINUED
The Company has designated a portion of retained earnings for separate
account contingencies and investment guarantees totaling $1,637
and $1,497 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The payment of dividends by the Company to its participating
policyholders is based on the dividend scale declared at least
annually by the Company's Board of Directors.
(14) BANK LINES OF CREDIT
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, ONLIC had a $10,000,000 unsecured line
of credit which was utilized and repaid during 1995.
(15) CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal actions
arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of
such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management
believes such matters will be resolved without material adverse
impact on the financial condition of the Company.
The Company routinely enters into reinsurance transactions with other
insurance companies which are not material to the consolidated
financial statements. This reinsurance involves either ceding
certain risks to or assuming risks from other insurance companies.
The primary purpose of ceded reinsurance is to protect the Company
from potential losses in excess of levels that it is prepared to
accept. Reinsurance does not discharge the Company from its
primary liability to policyholders and to the extent that a
reinsurer should be unable to meet its obligations, the Company
would be liable to policyholders.
(16) MAJOR LINES OF BUSINESS
The Company operates in the life and annuity lines of business in the
life insurance industry. Life insurance operations include whole
life, universal life, variable universal life, and endowments, as
well as term life, health insurance, and other miscellaneous
insurance products provided to individuals and groups. Annuity
operations include guaranteed investment and accumulated deposit
contracts issued to groups and deferred and immediate annuities
issued to individuals.

APPENDIX
GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
The Guaranteed Accumulation Account guarantees a fixed return for a specified
period of time and guarantees the principal against loss. Any portion of a
contract relating to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is not registered under
the Securities Act of 1933. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account is not
registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account nor any interests in it are subject to the
provisions or restrictions of either such Act, and the disclosures in this
appendix have not been reviewed by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The Guaranteed Accumulation Account consists of all of Ohio National Life's
general assets other than those allocated to a separate account. Purchase
payments and accumulation values under a contract will be allocated between the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account and VAB. The allocation will be as elected by
the owner at the time of purchase or as subsequently changed.
Ohio National Life will invest its general assets in its discretion as allowed
by applicable state law. Investment income from Ohio National Life's general
assets will be allocated to those contracts having guaranteed accumulation
values in accordance with the terms of such contracts.
The amount of investment income allocated to the contracts will vary from year
to year in Ohio National Life's sole discretion. However, Ohio National Life
guarantees that it will credit interest at a rate of not less than 3.25% per
year, compounded annually, to contract values allocated to the Guaranteed
Accumulation Account. Ohio National Life may credit interest at a rate in excess
of 3.25%, but any such excess interest credit will be in Ohio National Life's
sole discretion.
Ohio National Life guarantees that the guaranteed accumulation value of a
contract will never be less than (a) the amount of purchase payments allocated
to, and transfers into, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, plus (b) interest
credited at the rate of 3.25% per year compounded annually, plus (c) any
additional excess interest Ohio National Life may credit to guaranteed
accumulation values, and less (d) any partial withdrawals and transfers from the
guaranteed accumulation values, and less (e) any contingent deferred sales
charges on partial withdrawals, state premium taxes, transfer fees, and the
portion of the $30 annual contract administration charge allocable to the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account. No deductions are made from the Guaranteed
Accumulation Account for administrative expenses or risk undertakings. (See
"Deductions and Expenses" in the prospectus.)
Not more than 20% of the guaranteed accumulation value of a contract (or $1,000,
if greater), as of the beginning of any contract year, may be transferred to one
or more variable subaccounts during that contract year. As provided by
applicable state law, Ohio National Life reserves the right to defer the payment
of amounts withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account for a period not
to exceed six months from the date written request for such withdrawal is
received by Ohio National Life.

Registrant and their affiliated entities is on page 4A hereof.
ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACTOWNERS
As of November 11, 1996, the Registrant's contracts were owned by 7,702 owners.
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
The sixth article of the Depositor's Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
provides as follows:
Each former, present and future Director, Officer or Employee of the
Corporation (and his heirs, executors or administrators), or any such
person (and his heirs, executors or administrators) who serves at the
Corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, member or employee
of another corporation, partnership or business organization or
association of any type whatsoever shall be indemnified by the Corporation
against reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fine
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense of any contemplated, pending or threatened
action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation,
to which he is or may be made a party by reason of being or having been
such Director, Officer, or Employee of the Corporation or having served at
the Corporation's request as such director, officer, partner, member or
employee of any other business organization or association, or in
connection with any appeal therein, provided a determination is made by
majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors (a) that
such a person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (b)
that, in any matter the subject of criminal action, suit or proceeding,
such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith in any manner which he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful. Such right of indemnification shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled.
The manner by which the right to indemnification shall be determined in
the absence of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors shall be
set forth in the Code of Regulations or in such other manner as permitted
by law. Each former, present, and future Director, Officer or Employee of
the Corporation (and his heirs, executors or administrators) who serves at
the Corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, member or
employee of another corporation, partnership or business organization or
association of any type whatsoever shall be indemnified by the Corporation
against reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
any contemplated, pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding, by or
in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, to
which he is or may be a party by reason of being or having been such
Director, Officer or Employee of the Corporation or having served at the
Corporation's request as such director, officer, partner, member or
employee of any other business organization or association, or in
connection with any appeal therein, provided a determination is made by
majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors (a) that
such person was not, and has not been adjudicated to have been negligent
or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation
or to such other business organization or association, and (b) that such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
-5-
<PAGE> 78
Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which such person may be entitled. The manner by which the right
of indemnification shall be determined in the absence of a disinterested
quorum of the Board of Directors shall be as set forth in the Code of
Regulations or in such other manner as permitted by law.
In addition, Article XII of the Depositor's Code of Regulations states as
follows:
If any director, officer or employee of the Corporation may be entitled to
indemnification by reason of Article Sixth of the Amended Articles of
Corporation, indemnification shall be made upon either (a) a determination
in writing of the majority of disinterested directors present, at a
meeting of the Board at which all disinterested directors present
constitute a quorum, that the director, officer or employee in question
was acting in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of this Corporation or of such other
business organization or association in which he served at the
Corporation's request, and that, in any matter which is the subject of a
criminal action, suit or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful and in an action by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor that such person was not
and has not been adjudicated to have been negligent or guilty of
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation or to such
other business organization or association; or (b) if the number of all
disinterested directors would not be sufficient at any time to constitute
a quorum, or if the number of disinterested directors present at two
consecutive meetings of the Board has not been sufficient to constitute a
quorum, a determination to the same effect as set forth in the foregoing
clause (a) shall be made in a written opinion by independent legal counsel
other than an attorney, or a firm having association with it an attorney,
who has been retained by or who has performed services for this
Corporation, or any person to be indemnified within the past five years,
or by the majority vote of the policyholders, or by the Court of Common
Pleas or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought.
Prior to making any such determination, the Board of Directors shall first
have received the written opinion of General Counsel that a number of
directors sufficient to constitute a quorum, as named therein, are
disinterested directors. Any director who is a party to or threatened with
the action, suit or proceeding in question, or any related action, suit or
proceeding, or has had or has an interest therein adverse to that of the
Corporation, or who for any other reason has been or would be affected
thereby, shall not be deemed a disinterested director and shall not be
qualified to vote on the question of indemnification. Anything in this
Article to the contrary notwithstanding, if a judicial or administrative
body determines as part of the settlement of any action, suit or
proceeding that the Corporation should indemnify a director, officer or
employee for the amount of the settlement, the Corporation shall so
indemnify such person in accordance with such determination. Expenses
incurred with respect to any action, suit or proceeding which may qualify
for indemnification may be advanced by the Corporation prior to final
disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director, officer or employee to repay such amount if it is ultimately
determined hereunder that he is not entitled to indemnification or to the
extent that the amount so advanced exceeds the indemnification to which he
is ultimately determined to be entitled.
