                                 ANNUAL REPORT
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
Dear Participant:
 
  We are pleased to send you the 1996 Annual Report of Mutual of America's
Separate Account No. 2. This Account is an investment vehicle for participants
in our Tax-Deferred Annuity, Voluntary Employee Contributions, and Individual
Retirement Annuity programs, Thrift and Section 457 Deferred Compensation
Plans, as well as for Flexible Premium Annuity policyholders. Separate Account
No. 2 consists of sixteen distinct Funds: the Mutual of America Money Market,
All America (formerly the Stock Fund), Equity Index, Bond, Short-Term Bond,
Mid-Term Bond, Composite and Aggressive Equity Funds, the Scudder Bond,
Capital Growth and International Funds, the TCI Growth Fund, the Calvert
Responsibly Invested Balanced Fund (formerly "Calvert Socially Responsible
Series"), and three portfolios of Fidelity Investments: Equity-Income,
Contrafund and Asset Manager Fund.
 
  Each of the Funds of Separate Account No. 2 owns shares in a similarly named
Fund of Mutual of America Investment Corporation ("Investment Company"),
Portfolio of Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund ("Scudder"), Fund of TCI
Portfolios, Inc. ("TCI"), Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio of
Acacia Capital Corporation ("Calvert") and Fidelity Investments Variable
Insurance Products Fund and Variable Insurance Products Fund II ("Fidelity").
The investment results of each of the Funds of Separate Account No. 2 are
based on the performance of the corresponding Funds or Portfolios of the
Investment Company, Scudder, TCI, Calvert and Fidelity.
 
  The Separate Account Funds invest in Funds and Portfolios which have the
following investment objectives:
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA MONEY MARKET FUND: This Fund seeks to obtain high
  current income to the extent consistent with the maintenance of liquidity,
  investment quality and stability of capital through investments in money
  market instruments and other short-term debt securities.
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA ALL AMERICA FUND: The investment objective for
  approximately 60% of the assets of this Fund (the "Indexed Assets") is to
  provide investment results that to the extent practical corresponds to the
  performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index. The Indexed
  Assets are invested in the same manner as the Equity Index Fund described
  below. The investment objective for the remaining approximately 40% of the
  assets (the "Active Assets") is to achieve a high level of total return,
  through both appreciation of capital and, to a lesser extent, current
  income, by means of a diversified portfolio of securities that may include
  common stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, bonds and money
  market instruments.
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA EQUITY INDEX FUND: This Fund seeks to duplicate, as
  closely as possible, the investment performance of the Standard & Poor's
  500 Composite Index ("S&P 500") by investing in approximately 500 publicly
  traded stocks that comprise the S&P 500 ("Standard & Poor's 500", "S&P" and
  "S&P 500" are trademarks of Standard & Poor's Corporation.)
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA BOND FUND: This Fund seeks a high level of current
  income, together with preservation of capital, through investments in such
  securities as U.S. Government, corporate and other notes and bonds.
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA SHORT-TERM BOND FUND: This Fund seeks a high level
  of current income, together with preservation of capital, through
  investments in such securities as U.S. Government, corporate and other
  notes and bonds with an average maturity of one to three years.
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA MID-TERM BOND FUND: This Fund seeks a high level of
  current income, together with preservation of capital, through investments
  in such securities as U.S. Government, corporate and other notes and bonds
  with an average maturity of three to seven years.
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA COMPOSITE FUND: This Fund seeks a high total rate
  of return on investments, through both appreciation of capital and current
  income, through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks,
  bonds and money market instruments.
 
    THE MUTUAL OF AMERICA AGGRESSIVE EQUITY FUND: The investment objective
  for approximately half of the assets of the Fund (the "Aggressive Growth
  Portfolio") is to achieve capital appreciation by investing in companies
  believed to possess above-average growth potential. Growth can be in the
  areas of earnings or gross sales which can be measured in either dollars or
  in unit volume. The investment objective for the other half of the assets
  of the Fund (the "Aggressive Value Portfolio") is to achieve capital
  appreciation by investing in companies believed to possess valuable assets
  or
 
                                       I
<PAGE>
 
  whose securities are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors
  such as a company's assets, earnings or growth potential.
 
    THE SCUDDER BOND PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks a high level of income
  consistent with a high quality portfolio of debt securities.
 
    THE SCUDDER CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks to maximize
  long-term capital growth through a broad and flexible investment program.
  The Portfolio invests in marketable securities, principally common stocks,
  and, consistent with its objective, may invest in preferred stocks, debt
  securities and foreign securities.
 
    THE SCUDDER INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks long-term
  capital growth through investing primarily in diversified holdings of
  marketable foreign equity investments in companies, wherever organized,
  that do business primarily outside the United States and which are listed
  on foreign exchanges.
 
    THE TCI GROWTH FUND: This Fund seeks capital growth over time by
  investing primarily in common stocks (including securities convertible into
  common stocks) that are considered by management to have better-than-
  average prospects for appreciation.
 
    THE CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED BALANCED PORTFOLIO: This Fund seeks
  capital growth and a total return above the rate of inflation through an
  actively managed portfolio of stocks, bonds and money market instruments
  selected with a concern for the social impact of each investment.
 
    THE FIDELITY EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO: Seeks reasonable income by
  investing primarily in income-producing equity securities while also
  considering the potential for capital appreciation. Secondarily, the
  Portfolio's goal is to achieve a yield that exceeds the composite yield on
  the securities comprising the S&P 500 Composite Index.
 
    THE FIDELITY CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO: Seeks long-term capital appreciation
  by investing primarily in a broad variety of common stocks using both
  growth-oriented and contrarian disciplines.
 
    THE FIDELITY ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO: Seeks high long-term return with
  reduced risk by allocating assets among a broadly diversified mix of
  stocks, bonds and short-term fixed-income instruments.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1996, the following total returns were
experienced in these sixteen Separate Account Funds:

(1)  The current seven-day net annualized yield as of 2/18/97 was 3.72% and is
     not necessarily indicative of future actual yields.
 
Total return is equal to the changes in the value of a unit of participation
in a Fund from the beginning to the end of the specified period. It reflects
investment income earned and reinvested plus the changes in the market value
(whether realized or unrealized) of the securities in the respective Fund or
Portfolio of the Investment Company, Scudder, TCI, Calvert or Fidelity during
the indicated period. Results are net of all charges, including a monthly
service charge (assessed against an average account balance for all
individually allocated contracts) based upon a hypothetical $1,000 invested at
the beginning of the period. These returns are not guaranteed and are not
necessarily indicative of the future investment performance of
 
                                      II

the particular Fund. Withdrawals and contributions made within a period would
experience different rates of return based on the respective unit values on
the dates of such transactions.
 
  This report includes financial statements for each Fund of Separate Account
No. 2. Following this report are the financial statements for each similarly
named Fund of the Investment Company, Portfolios of Scudder, Fund of TCI,
Portfolio of Calvert and Portfolios of Fidelity Investments.
 
  I hope you will find this report helpful and informative.

  On January 3, 1989, the following Funds became available to Separate Account
No. 2 as investment options: Scudder Bond, Scudder Capital Growth, Scudder
International and TCI Growth. The Scudder Funds invest in corresponding

(formerly "Calvert Socially Responsible Series") invests in a corresponding

of the Company's group and individual variable accumulation annuity contracts
("Contracts"). The assets of Separate Account No. 2 are the property of the
Company. The portion of Separate Account No. 2's assets applicable to the

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Mutual of America Life Insurance Company:
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2 as of December 31, 1996, and the
related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2 as of December 31, 1996, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
