                                 ANNUAL REPORT
                               DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
Dear Participant:
 
  We are pleased to send you the 1997 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. Each invests in shares of one of
eight funds of Mutual of America Investment Corporation (the "Investment
Company"): the Money Market, All America, Equity Index, Bond, Short-Term Bond,
Mid-Term Bond, Composite and Aggressive Equity Funds; three portfolios of
Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund ("Scudder"): the Bond, Capital Growth
and International Portfolios; the VP Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly TCI
Growth) of American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc. ("American Century");
the Balanced Portfolio of Acacia Capital Corporation's Calvert Responsibly
Invested Portfolios ("Calvert"); the Equity-Income Portfolio of Fidelity
Investments Variable Insurance Products Fund ("Fidelity VIP"); and the
Contrafund and Asset Manager Portfolios of Fidelity Investments Variable
Insurance Products Fund II ("Fidelity VIP II").
 
  Each of the funds of Separate Account No. 2 owns shares in a similarly named
fund of the Investment Company, portfolio of Scudder, fund of American
Century, portfolio of Calvert, portfolio of Fidelity VIP and portfolio of
Fidelity VIP II. 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, American Century, Calvert,
Fidelity VIP and Fidelity VIP II.
 
  The Separate Account funds invest in funds and portfolios which have the
following investment objectives:
 
    THE INVESTMENT COMPANY 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 INVESTMENT COMPANY 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, correspond to the
  performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the
  "S&P 500"). 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 INVESTMENT COMPANY EQUITY INDEX FUND: This Fund seeks to duplicate,
  as closely as possible, the investment performance of the 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 INVESTMENT COMPANY 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 INVESTMENT COMPANY 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 INVESTMENT COMPANY 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 INVESTMENT COMPANY 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 INVESTMENT COMPANY AGGRESSIVE EQUITY FUND: The investment objective
  for approximately half of the assets of the Fund 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 is to achieve
  capital appreciation by investing in companies believed to possess valuable
  assets or whose securities are undervalued in the marketplace in relation
  to factors such as a company's assets, earnings or growth potential.
 
                                       I

    THE SCUDDER BOND PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks a high level of income
  consistent with the prudent investment of capital through a flexible
  investment program emphasizing high-grade bonds.
 
    THE SCUDDER CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks long-term
  capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of medium-to-large
  sized U.S. companies. The Portfolio seeks to keep the value of its shares
  more stable than other capital growth mutual funds. While current income is
  not a stated objective of the Portfolio, many of the Portfolio's securities
  may provide regular dividends, which are also expected to grow over time.
 
    THE SCUDDER INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks long-term
  growth of capital primarily through a diversified portfolio of foreign
  equity securities.
 
    VP CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND: This Fund seeks capital growth over time by
  investing primarily in common stocks that are considered by management to
  have better-than-average prospects for appreciation. (Prior to May 1, 1997,
  this Fund was known as TCI Growth Fund).
 
    THE CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED BALANCED PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks
  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. (As of January 1, 1998,
  the name was changed to Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio).
 
    THE FIDELITY VIP EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks reasonable
  income by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities, while
  considering the potential for capital appreciation. The Portfolio also
  seeks to achieve a yield that exceeds the composite yield on the securities
  comprising the S&P 500.
 
    THE FIDELITY VIP II CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO: This 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 VIP II ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks high
  long-term return with reduced risk by using a broadly diversified mix of
  stocks, bonds and short-term fixed-income investments.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1997, the following total returns were
experienced in these sixteen Separate Account funds:

- -------
(1) The current seven-day net annualized yield as of 2/17/98 was 4.15% 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, American Century, 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 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.

  On January 3, 1989, the following Funds became available to Separate Account

Scudder International and VP Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly TCI Growth).
The Scudder Funds invest in corresponding portfolios of Scudder Variable Life

Century"). Effective May 13, 1991, the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced
Portfolio became available as an investment alternative. The Calvert

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, 1997, 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, 1997, 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.
