This prospectus describes a flexible premium variable life insurance contract
(the "contract") offered through Ohio National Variable Account R ("VAR"), a
separate account of ours. We are Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation, a
subsidiary of The Ohio National Life Insurance Company ("Ohio National Life").

The contract has a minimum stated amount of $50,000 and a sales charge which is
deducted from accumulation value upon surrender, lapse, partial surrender or a
decrease in stated amount during the first twenty contract years. Because of the
substantial nature of the surrender charge, the contract is not suitable for
short term investment purposes. The contract generally will not be issued to a
person over age 80.

The contract is "flexible" because, subject to certain restrictions, it permits
you to:

- adjust the timing and amount of your premium payments,

- direct net premiums to one or more of the subaccounts of the variable account
  or to the general account,

- choose from two death benefit plans, and

- increase or decrease the level of death benefits under such plans.

The contract is "variable" because the value of the contract will change with
the performance of the investments selected. The flexible and variable features
of the contract give you the opportunity to meet your changing life insurance
needs and to adjust to changing economic conditions within the framework of a
single insurance policy. For this reason, it may not be to your advantage to
purchase a contract as a means of obtaining additional insurance if you already
own another flexible premium variable life insurance policy.

The contract provides life insurance coverage to age 100. You may choose either
a level or variable death benefit plan. The level plan provides a fixed benefit
(the "stated amount") to be paid on the death of the insured. The level plan
contract operates in a manner similar to a whole life insurance policy, except
that its accumulation value varies with investment performance. The variable
plan contract provides a death benefit equal to the sum of the stated amount and
the contract's accumulation value. Accordingly, the variable plan death benefit
generally varies dollar for dollar with the contract's accumulation value. Under
either plan, we insure the death benefit against adverse investment performance
by guaranteeing that the death benefit will never be less than the contract's
stated amount, provided you pay a minimum premium.

When you purchase a contract, you will be required to pay an initial premium.
You must pay the minimum premium described in your contract to keep the death
benefit guarantee in effect.

THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THESE
SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

THIS PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IT SHOULD BE
ACCOMPANIED BY THE CURRENT FUND PROSPECTUSES.

The contract affords you substantial flexibility with your premium payments. You
may adopt a planned premium schedule that indicates the level of your intended
payments. The planned premium will fall somewhere between the minimum and
maximum permitted by the Code. The exact amount of your planned premium will
depend upon your objectives and your estimate of long-term investment
performance. You will find the minimum and planned premiums on the specification
page of your contract. If you do not pay premiums, at least as great as the
minimum premium required to keep the death benefit guarantee in effect, the
contract will remain in force only as long as the cash surrender value (less any
contract indebtedness) will pay the next monthly deduction for contract charges.

You may allocate your contract values among up to 10 of the investment accounts
we offer. Each of the variable subaccounts invests in a corresponding Fund. The
available Funds are listed below. The Fund portfolios are described in the
accompanying Fund prospectuses. Your contract's accumulation value will reflect
the investment performance of the subaccounts you select and is not guaranteed.

Should the need arise, you may obtain access to the cash surrender value of your
contract after the first contract year through loans or, after the second
contract year, partial surrenders, without terminating your insurance coverage.
In addition, you may surrender your contract at any time and receive its cash
surrender value.

equal to a contract loan is transferred pro rata from the subaccounts of VAR and
the general account.

cost of insurance, an administration charge, a risk charge for the death benefit
guarantee and the cost of any optional insurance benefits added by rider.

on a valuation date, it is deemed received on the next valuation date.

stated amount with respect to such increase.

                                  INTRODUCTION

As described on the cover page of this prospectus, the Vari-Vest V contract is a
flexible premium variable universal life insurance contract which enables you
throughout your lifetime to accommodate to your changing insurance needs and to
changing economic conditions within the framework of a single insurance policy.
The contract provides for death benefits, cash values, loans, a variety of
settlement options and other features traditionally associated with life
insurance.

The contract is similar to traditional life insurance in a number of respects.

     - You receive insurance coverage to age 100 at least equal to the stated
       amount as long as the contract has a positive cash surrender value or the
       death benefit guarantee is in effect.

     - You may surrender the contract at any time and receive its cash surrender
       value. After the first contract year, you may borrow up to the loan value
       of the contract.

     - To the extent that you elect to allocate net premiums to the general
       account, the investment return on the contract is guaranteed.

The contract also has several significant features which differentiate it from
traditional life insurance.

     - Within certain limits, you may adjust the timing and amount of your
       premium payments to suit your individual circumstances.

     - You direct the investment of your net premiums and resulting cash values,
       which will vary with the investment performance of the variable
       subaccounts you select.

     - Values are neither guaranteed nor limited to an assumed rate of interest.

     - You may elect a variable death benefit plan as an alternative to a level
       plan, the latter being similar in many respects to a traditional whole
       life policy.

Under either death benefit plan you may increase the stated amount of insurance
coverage any time after the first contract year and decrease the stated amount
two years after the issue date.

     - the death benefit guarantee is in effect,

     - the cash surrender value of your contract is sufficient to pay the next
       monthly deduction,

     - there is no outstanding contract indebtedness,

     - the death benefit is not determined by the corridor percentage test,

     - the contract is not backdated,

     - payments under the contract have not been made in a way that would cause

This summary presents selected information in the same order and uses the same
headings as the body of the prospectus. See the table of contents to find fuller
discussion of each item. See the "Definitions," above, for the meanings of
various terms.

OHIO NATIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP:

OHIO NATIONAL LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION -- We are a stock life insurance
company established under the laws of Ohio on June 26, 1979. We are owned by
Ohio National Life.

THE OHIO NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("Ohio National Life") -- a stock life
insurance company organized in 1909 under the laws of Ohio. It currently has
assets in excess of $7 billion. Ohio National Life is now a subsidiary of Ohio
National Financial Services, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Ohio National Mutual
Holdings, Inc. Ohio National Life continues to control us and the Ohio National
Fund. While Ohio National Life's experienced personnel and facilities are
available to assist in administering our flexible product program, its assets do
not back your contract.

OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT R ("VAR") -- established by us on May 6, 1985 as
a means of offering the types of contract described in this prospectus. Net
premiums allocated to VAR are segregated from our other assets and are protected
from claims and liabilities arising from our other lines of business. Our
general account assets, however, are available to support benefits under the
contract.


There is a separate subaccount within VAR corresponding to each of the Funds
listed on pages 2 and 3. The assets of each are invested exclusively in shares
of one of the Funds.


THE FUNDS The operations of each Fund, its investment adviser and its investment
objectives and policies are described in its prospectus. Net premiums under the
contract may be allocated to the subaccounts of the variable account which
invest exclusively in Fund shares. Accordingly, the accumulation values you
allocate to the subaccounts will vary with the investment performance of the
Funds.

The value of each 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 those investments to meet changes
in economic conditions. For additional information concerning each Fund,
including their investment objectives, see the accompanying prospectuses. Read
the prospectuses carefully before investing.

DEATH BENEFITS You may select one of two death benefit plans -- the level plan
(Plan A) or the variable plan (Plan B). With certain limitations, you may also
change death benefit plans during the life of the contract. The death benefit
under the level plan is the stated amount. The death benefit under the variable
plan is the stated amount plus the accumulation value on the date of death.
Under either plan, we may be required to increase the death benefit to satisfy
the corridor percentage test included in the Code's definition of a "life
insurance contract." Generally, favorable investment performance is reflected in
increased accumulation value under the level plan and in increased insurance
coverage under the variable plan. The death benefit will never be less than the
stated amount as long as the contract has a positive cash surrender value or the
death benefit guarantee is in force. The death benefit will be paid according to
your beneficiary's instructions or, at your option, applied in whole or in part
under one or more settlement options.

After the first contract year you may increase your stated amount, and two years
after the issue date you may decrease your stated amount. You cannot decrease
the stated amount below the minimum stated amount shown on the contract
specification page. Any increase or decrease in the stated amount must equal at
least $5,000 and an increase will require additional evidence of insurability.

Form 5560.5

                                        8

The contract includes a death benefit guarantee. Under this provision, we
guarantee that the death benefit during the death benefit guarantee period will
not be less than the stated amount, provided you pay the minimum premium.
Accordingly, adverse subaccount investment performance will not cause the
contract to lapse as long as the death benefit guarantee is in effect.

ACCUMULATION VALUE The accumulation value of your contract equals the sum of the
accumulation values in the general account, the subaccounts of VAR and the loan
collateral account. The general account accumulation value will reflect the
amount and timing of net premiums allocated to the general account and interest
thereon. The accumulation value in the variable subaccounts will reflect
deductions for a risk charge, the amount and timing of net premiums allocated to
such subaccounts and their investment experience. Such investment experience is
not guaranteed. In addition, the subaccount and the general account accumulation
values will be charged pro rata in connection with contract loans, partial
surrenders and monthly deductions. The loan collateral account will reflect
amounts borrowed against the loan value of the contract.

Loans -- after the first contract year, you may borrow against the loan value of
your contract. The loan value will never be less than 90% of your cash surrender
value. Loan interest is payable in advance at a rate of 7.4% (an effective
compound annual rate of 8%). Any outstanding contract indebtedness will be
deducted from proceeds payable at the insured's death or upon maturity or
surrender.

Loan amounts and any unpaid interest thereon will be withdrawn pro rata from the
variable subaccounts and the general account. Accumulation value in each
subaccount equal to the contract indebtedness so withdrawn will be transferred
to the loan collateral account. If loan interest is not paid when due, it
becomes loan principal. Accumulation value held in the loan collateral account
earns interest daily at an annual rate guaranteed to be at least 4%. Currently,
we credit interest at an annual rate of 6.75%.

A loan may be repaid in whole or in part at any time while the contract is in
force. When a loan repayment is made, accumulation value securing contract
indebtedness in the loan collateral account equal to the loan repayment will be
allocated first to the general account until the amount borrowed has been
replaced. The balance of the repayment will then be allocated to the general
account and the variable subaccounts using the same percentages as then in
effect to allocate net premiums.

Surrender Privileges -- at any time you may surrender your contract in full and
receive the proceeds. Your contract also gives you a partial surrender right. At
any time after two years from the issue date, you may withdraw part of your cash
surrender value. Such withdrawals will reduce your contract's death benefit and
may be subject to a surrender charge.

Withholding Payment After Premium Payment -- We may withhold payment of any
increased accumulation value or loan value resulting from a recent premium
payment until your premium check has cleared. This could take up to 15 days
after we receive your check.

PREMIUMS An initial premium is required to purchase a contract. In addition, you
must pay a minimum premium to keep the death benefit guarantee in effect. You
must have paid, cumulatively, total premiums that equal or exceed the monthly
minimum premium indicated on the contract specification page multiplied by the
number of contract months the contract has been in effect. If you fail to meet
this requirement, the death benefit guarantee is no longer in effect and may
generally not be reinstated. The monthly minimum premium indicated on the
contract specification page will remain a level amount until you reach the end
of the death benefit guarantee period shown on the contract specification page.
You choose this period from among the available periods. Currently there are 3
different periods available: 5 years; to age 70 (or 10 years, if later); or to
maturity. Not all options are available in all states.

We may, at our discretion, refuse to accept a premium payment of less than $25
or one that would cause the contract, without an increase in death benefit, to
be disqualified as life insurance or to be treated as a modified

Form 5560.5

                                        9
<PAGE>   12

endowment contract under federal law. Otherwise, the amount and timing of
premium payments is left to your discretion.

To aid you in formulating your insurance plan under the contract, you will adopt
a planned premium schedule at the time of purchase indicating your intended
level of payments. The planned premium will generally be an amount greater than
your minimum premium and less than your guideline annual premium. You do not
have to follow the planned premium, as it is only a planning device.

Allocation of Premiums -- you may allocate your net premiums among up to 10 of
the variable subaccounts and to the general account in any combination of whole
percentages. You indicate your initial allocation in the contract application.
Thereafter, you may transfer accumulation values and reallocate future premiums.

Transfers -- we allow transfers of accumulation values among the subaccounts of
VAR and to the general account at any time. Transfers from the general account
to the subaccounts are subject to certain restrictions.

Lapse -- provided you pay the minimum premiums required to maintain the death
benefit guarantee, your contract will not lapse during the death benefit
guarantee period. If you fail to pay the minimum premiums, the death benefit
guarantee expires. Without the death benefit guarantee, the contract will remain
in force as long as the cash surrender value less any outstanding contract
indebtedness is sufficient to pay the next monthly deduction. When the cash
surrender value will not pay the next monthly deduction, you will have a 61 day
grace period in which to increase your cash surrender value by paying additional
premiums. If you do not pay sufficient additional premiums during the grace
period, the contract will lapse and terminate without value.

Reinstatement -- once a contract has lapsed, you may request reinstatement of
the contract any time within five years of the lapse. Satisfactory proof of
insurability and payment of a reinstatement premium are required for
reinstatement.

Free Look -- following the initial purchase of your contract or any subsequent
increase in the stated amount, you are entitled to a free look period. During
the free look period, you may cancel the contract or increase, as applicable,
and we will refund all the money you have paid. The free look period expires 20
days from your receipt of the contract or increase.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS We make charges against or deductions from premium
payments, accumulation values and contract surrenders as follows:

(a) from premiums we deduct a premium expense charge. The premium expense charge
includes:

     - a 1.25% deduction from premium payments for 10 years. This charge
       compensates us for federal tax charges,

     - a deduction for the state premium tax and any other state and local taxes
       applicable to your contract. Currently, state premium taxes vary from 0%
       to 4%;

(b) against the accumulation value we make a monthly deduction covering:

     - the cost of insurance,

     - administrative expenses ($7),

     - the risk of providing the death benefit guarantee ($0.00, $0.01, or $0.03
       per thousand of stated amount, depending on the death benefit guarantee
       period you choose), and the cost of any optional insurance benefit added
       by rider;

(c)  against the assets of the variable subaccounts we assess a daily charge
     equal to an annualized rate of 0.75% of such assets to compensate us for
     assuming certain mortality and expense risks; and

(d)  from accumulation value we deduct surrender charges in the event of full
     surrender, certain partial surrenders and decreases in stated amount. The
     surrender charges consist of a contingent deferred sales

Form 5560.5

                                       10
<PAGE>   13

     charge and a contingent deferred insurance underwriting charge. The
     contingent deferred sales charge is 50% of premiums paid, up to a maximum
     shown on the contract specification page. The contingent deferred insurance
     underwriting charge varies with age at issue or increase from $3 to $6 per
     thousand dollars of your first $500,000 of stated amount. These surrender
     charges apply during the first 20 contract years following the contract
     date and the date of any increase in stated amount.

In addition to the foregoing charges and deductions, we assess the following
three service charges:

     - for partial surrenders the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount surrendered,

     - up to $15 (currently the charge is $3 and is waived on the first four
       transfers during any contract year) for transfers of accumulation value
       among the subaccounts and the general account and,

     - up to $100 (currently no charge is being made) for any special
       illustration of contract benefits that you may request.

Currently we impose lesser charges for transfers and illustrations, but we only
guarantee that such charges will never exceed the amounts stated above. We also
reserve the right to assess the assets of each subaccount for any taxes payable
by us on account of such assets. Certain expenses and an investment advisory fee
will be assessed against Fund assets, as described in the Fund prospectuses.

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS All death benefits paid under the contract will generally be
excludable from the beneficiary's gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Under current federal tax law, as long as the contract qualifies as a "life
insurance contract", any increases in accumulation value attributable to
favorable investment performance should accumulate on a tax deferred basis in
the same manner as with traditional whole life insurance. Partial withdrawals
and surrenders, however, may result in the taxation of the portion of such
withdrawals or surrenders drawn from the increase in accumulation value
resulting from favorable investment performance. If payments are made in excess
of a rate that would pay up a contract after seven level annual payments, there
may be taxation of, including a penalty tax on, portions of the proceeds of
loans, withdrawals or surrenders.

                     OHIO NATIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP

OHIO NATIONAL LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION

We were established on June 26, 1979 under the laws of Ohio to facilitate the
issuance of certain nonparticipating insurance policies. We are a wholly-owned
stock subsidiary of Ohio National Life. We are licensed to sell life insurance
in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

THE OHIO NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("OHIO NATIONAL LIFE")

Ohio National Life was organized under the laws of Ohio on September 9, 1909 as
a stock life insurance company. Ohio National is now a subsidiary of Ohio
National Financial Services, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Ohio National Mutual
Holdings, Inc. 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 $8.9 billion and equity in excess of $710 million. Ohio National Life
provided us with the initial capital to finance our operations. From time to
time, Ohio National Life may make additional capital contributions, although it
is under no legal obligation to do so and its assets do not support the benefits
provided under your contract.

OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT R ("VAR")

We established VAR on May 6, 1985 pursuant to the insurance laws of the State of
Ohio. VAR is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit
investment trust. Such registration does not involve supervision by the
Commission of the

Form 5560.5

                                       11
<PAGE>   14

management or investment policies of the variable account or of us. Under Ohio
law, VAR's assets are held exclusively for the benefit of contractowners and
persons entitled to payments under the contract. VAR's assets are not chargeable
with liabilities arising out of our other business.

We keep VAR's assets physically segregated from assets of our general account.
We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by each of
VAR's subaccounts.

VAR has subaccounts corresponding to each of the Funds listed on page 2. VAR may
in the future add or delete investment subaccounts. Each investment subaccount
will invest exclusively in shares representing interests in one of the Funds.
The income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on the assets of each
subaccount are credited to or charged against that subaccount without regard to
income or gains or losses from any other subaccount.

THE FUNDS

The Funds are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Fund shares are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund
variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and, in some
cases, to qualified plans. The value of each Fund's investments fluctuates daily
and is subject to the risk that Fund management may not anticipate or make
changes necessary in the investments to meet changes in economic conditions.

The Funds receive investment advice from their investment advisers. The Funds
pay each of the investment advisers a fee as described in the Fund prospectuses.
In some cases, the investment adviser pays part of its fee to a subadviser.

Affiliates of certain Funds may compensate us based upon a percentage of the
Fund's average daily net assets that are allocated to VAR. These percentages
vary by Fund. This is intended to compensate us for administrative and other
services we provide to the Funds and their affiliates.

For additional information concerning the Funds, including their investment
objectives, see the Fund prospectuses. Read them carefully before investing.
They may contain information about other funds that are not available as
investment options for these contracts. You cannot be sure that any Fund will
achieve its stated objectives and policies.

The investment policies, objectives and/or names of some of the Funds may be
similar to those of other investment companies managed by the same investment
adviser or subadviser. However, similar funds often do not have comparable
investment performance. The investment results of the Funds may be higher or
lower than those of the other funds.

MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING

In addition to being offered to VAR, certain Fund shares are offered to Ohio
National Life's separate accounts for variable annuity contracts. Fund shares
may also be offered to other insurance company separate accounts and qualified
plans. It is conceivable that in the future it may become disadvantageous for
one or more of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, or separate
accounts of other life insurance companies, and qualified plans, to invest in
Fund shares. Although neither we nor any of the Funds currently foresee any such
disadvantage, the Board of Directors or Trustees of each Fund will monitor
events to identify any material conflict among different types of owners and to
determine if any action should be taken. That could possibly include the
withdrawal of VAR's participation in a Fund. Material conflicts could result
from such things as:

     - changes in state insurance law;

     - changes in federal income tax law;

     - changes in the investment management of any portfolio of one of the
       Funds, or

     - differences between voting instructions given by different types of
       contractowners.

<PAGE>   15

                                 DEATH BENEFITS

As long as the contract remains in force we will, upon receipt of due proof of
the insured's death, pay the contract proceeds to the beneficiary. The amount of
the death benefit payable will be determined as of the date of death, or on the
next following valuation date if the date of death is not a valuation date.
Unless a settlement option is elected, the proceeds will be paid according to
your beneficiary's selection from the settlement options listed in the contract.
We offer both beneficiaries and contractowners a wide variety of settlement
options listed in the contract. We offer both beneficiaries and contractowners a
wide variety of settlement options.

The contract provides for two death benefit plans: a level plan ("Plan A") and a
variable plan ("Plan B"). Generally, you designate the death benefit plan in
your contract application. Subject to certain restrictions, you may change the
death benefit plan from time to time. As long as the contract remains in force,
the death benefit under either plan will never be less than the stated amount of
the contract.

PLAN A -- LEVEL BENEFIT

The death benefit is the greater of:

     - the contract's stated amount on the date of death or

     - the death benefit determined by the corridor percentage test.

The death benefit determined by the corridor percentage test equals the
accumulation value of the contract on the date of death plus such accumulation
value multiplied by the corridor percentage. The corridor percentage varies with
attained age, as indicated in the following table:

</TABLE>

Illustration of Plan A.  Assume that the insured's attained age at time of death
is 40 and that the stated amount of the contract is $100,000.

Under these circumstances, any time the accumulation value of the contract is
less than $40,000, the death benefit will be the stated amount. However, any
time the accumulation value exceeds $40,000, the death benefit will be greater
than the contract's $100,000 stated amount due to the corridor percentage test.
This is because the death benefit for an insured who dies at age 40 must be at
least equal to the accumulation value plus 150% of the accumulation value.
Consequently, each additional dollar added to accumulation value above $40,000
will increase the death benefit by $2.50. Similarly, to the extent accumulation
value exceeds $40,000, each dollar taken out of accumulation value will reduce
the death benefit by $2.50. If, for example, the accumulation value is reduced
from $48,000 to $40,000, the death benefit will be reduced from $120,000 to
$100,000. However, further reductions in the accumulation value below the
$40,000 level will not affect the death benefit so long as the reductions are
due to performance. Reductions due to surrenders, loans and partial surrenders
do affect the death benefit.

Form 5560.5

                                       13
<PAGE>   16

In the foregoing example, the breakpoint of $40,000 of accumulation value for
using the corridor percentage test to calculate the death benefit was determined
by dividing the $100,000 stated amount by 100% plus 150% (the corridor
percentage at age 40, as shown in the table above). For your contract, you may
make the corresponding determination by dividing your stated amount by 100% plus
the corridor percentage for your age (see the table above). The calculation will
yield a dollar amount which will be your breakpoint for using the corridor
percentage test. If your accumulation value is greater than such dollar figure,
your death benefit will be determined by the corridor percentage test. If it is
less, your death benefit will be your stated amount.

PLAN B -- VARIABLE BENEFIT

The death benefit is equal to the greater of:

     - the stated amount plus the accumulation value on the date of death or

     - the death benefit determined by the corridor percentage as described
       above and using the foregoing table of corridor percentages.

Illustration of Plan B. Again assume that the insured's attained age at the time
of death is 40 and that the stated amount of the contract is $100,000.

Under these circumstances, a contract with accumulation value of $20,000 will
have a death benefit of $120,000 ($100,000 + $20,000). An accumulation value of
$60,000 will yield a death benefit of $160,000 ($100,000 + $60,000). The death
benefit under this illustration, however, must be at least equal to the
accumulation value plus 150% of the contract's accumulation value. As a result,
if the accumulation value of the contract exceeds $66,667, the death benefit
will be greater than the stated amount plus accumulation value. Each additional
dollar of accumulation value above $66,667 will increase the death benefit by
$2.50. Under this illustration, a contract with an accumulation value of $80,000
will provide a death benefit of $200,000 ($80,000 + 150% (LOGO) $80,000).
Similarly, to the extent that accumulation value exceeds $66,667, each dollar
taken out of accumulation value reduces the death benefit by $2.50. If, for
example, the accumulation value is reduced from $80,000 to $68,000, the death
benefit will be reduced from $200,000 to $170,000.

In the foregoing example, the breakpoint of $66,667 of accumulation value for
using the corridor percentage test to calculate the death benefit was determined
by dividing the $100,000 stated amount by 150% (the corridor percentage at age
40, as shown in the table above). For your contract, you may make the
corresponding determination by dividing your stated amount by the corridor
percentage for your age (see the table above). The calculation will yield a
dollar amount which will be your breakpoint for using the corridor percentage
test. If your accumulation value is greater than such dollar figure, your death
benefit will be determined by the corridor percentage test. If it is less, your
death benefit will be your stated amount plus your accumulation value.

CHANGE IN DEATH BENEFIT PLAN

Generally, after the first contract year, you may change your death benefit plan
on any process day by sending us a written request. Changing death benefit plans
from Plan B to Plan A will not require evidence of insurability. Changing death
benefit plans from Plan A to Plan B may require evidence of insurability. The
effective date of any such change will be the process day on or following the
date of receipt of your request.

As a general rule, when you wish to have favorable investment performance
reflected in higher accumulation value, you should elect the Plan A death
benefit. Conversely, when you wish to have favorable investment performance
reflected in increased insurance coverage, you should generally elect the Plan B
death benefit.

If you change your death benefit plan from Plan B to Plan A, your stated amount
will be increased by the amount of your accumulation value to equal the death
benefit which would have been payable under Plan B on the effective date of the
change. For example, a Plan B contract with a $100,000 stated amount and $20,000

Form 5560.5

                                       14
<PAGE>   17

accumulation value ($120,000 death benefit) would be converted to a Plan A
contract with $120,000 stated amount. Again, the death benefit would remain the
same on the effective date of the change.

A change in the death benefit option will not alter the amount of the
accumulation value or the death benefit payable under the contract on the
effective date of the change. However, switching between the variable and the
level plans will alter your insurance program with consequent effects on the
level of your future death benefits, accumulation values and premiums. For a
given stated amount, the death benefit will be greater under Plan B than under
Plan A, but the monthly deduction will be greater under Plan B than under Plan
A. Furthermore, assuming your accumulation value continues to increase, your
future cost of insurance charges will be higher after a change from Plan A to
Plan B and lower after a change from Plan B to Plan A. If your accumulation
value decreases in the future, the opposite will be true. Changes in the cost of
insurance charges have no effect on your death benefit under Plan A. Under Plan
B, however, increased cost of insurance charges will reduce the future
accumulation value and death benefit to less than they otherwise would be.

DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE

We guarantee that the contract will not lapse during the death benefit guarantee
period provided you pay the minimum premium. (See "Premiums -- Minimum
Premiums.") Accordingly, as long as the death benefit guarantee is in effect,
the contract will not lapse even if, because of adverse investment performance,
the cash surrender value falls below the amount needed to pay the next monthly
deduction. A charge per $1,000 of stated amount will be made for each month the
death benefit guarantee is in effect. The charge is $0.00 if you choose a 5 year
guarantee; $0.01 if you choose the guarantee to the later of age 70 or 10 years,
or $0.03 if you choose the guarantee to maturity. (Only the 5 year guarantee is
available in Massachusetts and Texas.)

If on any process day the minimum premium requirement is not met, we will send
you a notice of the required payment. If we do not receive the required payment
within 61 days of the date of the mailing of such notice, the death benefit
guarantee will no longer be in effect. Generally, the death benefit guarantee
may not be reinstated once it has been lost. However, we may at our discretion
permit you to reinstate the death benefit guarantee if you:

     - double your stated amount or

     - increase your stated amount by $100,000 or more.

A new minimum premium will be required to maintain the reinstated death benefit
guarantee.

CHANGES IN STATED AMOUNT

Subject to certain limitations, you may at any time after the first contract
year increase your contract's stated amount and after two years from the issue
date decrease your stated amount by sending us a written request. We may limit
you to two such changes in each contract year. Any change must be of at least
$5,000. The effective date of the increase or decrease will be the process day
on or following approval of the request. A change in stated amount will affect
the monthly insurance charges and surrender charges.

Increases. An increase is treated in a similar manner to the purchase of a new
contract. To obtain an increase, you must submit a supplemental application to
us with evidence demonstrating insurability. Depending on your accumulation
value, you may or may not have to pay additional premiums to obtain an increase.
If you must pay an additional premium, we must receive it by the effective date
of the increase.

After an increase, a portion of premium payments will be allocated to such
increase. The amount so allocated will bear the same relationship to total
premium payments as the guideline annual premium for such increase bears to the
guideline annual premium for your initial stated amount plus the guideline
annual premiums for all increases.

Only premiums allocated to an increase will be subject to the contingent
deferred sales charge for the increase.

Form 5560.5

                                       15
<PAGE>   18

With respect to premiums allocated to an increase, you will have the same free
look and conversion rights with respect to an increase as with the initial
purchase of your contract.

Decreases. You may decrease your stated amount after two years from the issue
date or the date of any increase, subject to the following limitations:

     - The stated amount after any requested decrease may not be less than the
       minimum stated amount of $50,000.

     - We will not permit a decrease in stated amount if the contract's cash
       value is such that reducing the stated amount would cause the death
       benefit after the decrease to be determined by the corridor percentage
       test.

     - We will not permit a decrease in stated amount if the decrease would
       disqualify the contract as life insurance under the Code.

If you decrease your stated amount, we will deduct any applicable surrender
charge from your accumulation value. For purposes of calculating the amount of
that surrender charge and the cost of insurance charge on your remaining
coverage, a decrease in stated amount will reduce your existing stated amount in
the following order:

     - the stated amount provided by your most recent increase,

     - your next most recent increases successively, and

     - your initial stated amount.

                               ACCUMULATION VALUE

Your contract provides certain accumulation value benefits. Subject to certain
limitations, you may obtain access to the accumulation value of your contract.
You may borrow against your contract's loan value and you may surrender your
contract in whole or in part.

The accumulation value of your contract is the sum of the accumulation values in
the subaccounts, the general account and the loan collateral account. The
following discussion relates only to the variable subaccounts of VAR. The
general account and the loan collateral account are discussed elsewhere in this
prospectus.

DETERMINATION OF VARIABLE ACCUMULATION VALUES

Your accumulation value in VAR may increase or decrease depending on the
investment performance of the subaccounts you choose. There is no guaranteed
minimum accumulation value in VAR.

The accumulation value of your contract will be calculated initially on the
later of the issue date or when we first receive a premium payment. After that,
it is calculated on each valuation date. On the initial valuation date, your
accumulation value will equal the initial premium paid minus the premium expense
charge and the first monthly deduction. On each subsequent valuation date, your
accumulation value will be (1) plus any transactions referred to in (2), (3) and
(4) and minus any transactions referred to in (5), (6) and (7) which occur
during the current valuation period, where:

     (1) is the sum of each subaccount's accumulation value as of the previous
         valuation date multiplied by each subaccount's net investment factor
         for the current valuation period;

     (2) is net premiums allocated to VAR;

     (3) is transfers from the loan collateral account as a result of loan
         repayments and reallocations of accumulation value from the general
         account;

     (4) is interest on contract indebtedness credited to the variable
         subaccounts;

Form 5560.5

                                       16
<PAGE>   19

     (5) is transfers to the loan collateral account in connection with contract
         loans and reallocations of accumulation value to the general account;

     (6) is any partial surrender made (and any surrender charge imposed); and

     (7) is the monthly deduction.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES

We use accumulation units as a measure of value for bookkeeping purposes. When
you allocate net premiums to a subaccount, we credit your contract with
accumulation units. In addition, other transactions, including loans, partial
and full surrenders, transfers, surrender and service charges, and monthly
deductions, affect the number of accumulation units credited to your contract.
The number of units credited or debited in connection with any such transaction
is determined by dividing the dollar amount of such transaction by the unit
value of the affected subaccount. We determine the unit value of each subaccount
on each valuation date. The number of units so credited or debited will be based
on the unit value on the valuation date on which the premium payment or
transaction request is received by us at our home office. The number of units
credited will not change because of subsequent changes in unit value. The dollar
value of each subaccount's units will reflect asset charges and the investment
performance of the corresponding portfolio of the Funds.

The accumulation unit value of each subaccount's unit initially was $10. The
unit value of a subaccount on any valuation date is calculated by multiplying
the subaccount unit value on the previous valuation date by its net investment
factor for the current valuation period.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

We use a net investment factor to measure investment performance of each
subaccount and to determine changes in unit value from one valuation period to
the next. The net investment factor for a valuation period is (a) divided by (b)
minus (c) where:

     (a) is (i) the value of the assets of the subaccount at the end of the
         preceding valuation period, plus (ii) the investment income and capital
         gains, realized or unrealized, credited to the assets of the subaccount
         during the valuation period for which the net investment factor is
         being determined, minus, (iii) any amount charged against the
         subaccount for taxes or any amount set aside during the valuation
         period by us to provide for taxes we determine are attributable to the
         operation or maintenance of that subaccount (currently there are no
         such taxes);

     (b) is the value of the assets of the subaccount at the end of the
         preceding valuation period; and

     (c) is a charge no greater than 0.0020471% on a daily basis. This
         corresponds to 0.75% on an annual basis for mortality and expense
         risks.

LOANS

After the first contract year, you may borrow up to the loan value of your
contract. The loan value is the cash surrender value less the cost of insurance
charges on your contract to the end of the current contract year. The loan value
will never be less than 90% of the cash surrender value. We will generally
distribute the loan proceeds to you within seven days from receipt of your
request for the loan at our home office, although payment of the proceeds may be
postponed under certain circumstances. (See "General Provisions -- Postponement
of Payments".) In some circumstances, loans may involve tax liability. (See
"Federal Tax Matters".)

When a loan is made, accumulation value in an amount equal to the loan will be
taken from the general account and each subaccount in proportion to your
accumulation value in the general account and each subaccount. This value is
then held in the loan collateral account and earns interest at an effective rate
guaranteed to be at least 4%

Form 5560.5

                                       17
<PAGE>   20

per year. Currently, we credit interest to the loan collateral account at a rate
of 6.75% per year, but we may reduce such rate to 4% at any time. Such interest
is credited to the subaccounts and the general account in accordance with the
premium allocation then in effect.

We charge interest on loans in advance each year at a rate of 7.4% per year,
equivalent to an effective annual rate of 8%. When we make a loan, we add to the
amount of the loan the interest covering the period until the end of the
contract year. At the beginning of each subsequent contract year, if you fail to
pay the interest in cash, we will transfer sufficient accumulation value from
the general account and each subaccount to pay the interest for the following
contract year. The allocation will be in proportion to your accumulation value
in each subaccount.

You may repay a loan at any time, in whole or in part, before we pay the
contract proceeds. When you repay a loan, interest already charged covering any
period after the repayment will reduce the amount necessary to repay the loan.
Premiums paid in excess of any planned premiums when there is a loan outstanding
will be first applied to reduce or repay such loan, unless you request
otherwise. Upon repayment of a loan, the loan collateral account will be reduced
by the amount of the repayment and the repayment will be allocated first to the
general account, until the amount borrowed from the general account has been
repaid. Unless we are instructed otherwise, the balance of the repayment will
then be applied to the subaccounts and the general account according to the
premium allocation then in effect.

Any outstanding contract indebtedness will be subtracted from the proceeds
payable at the insured's death and from cash surrender value upon complete
surrender or maturity.

A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on a contract's cash
surrender value (and the death benefit under Plan B contracts) because the
investment results of the subaccounts will apply only to the amount remaining in
the subaccounts. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is
likely to be. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If investment
results are greater than the rate being credited upon the amount of the loan
while the loan is outstanding, contract values will not increase as rapidly as
they would have if no loan had been made. If investment results are below that
rate, contract values will be higher than they would have been had no loan been
made.

SURRENDER PRIVILEGES

As an alternative to obtaining access to your accumulation value by using the
loan provisions described above, you may obtain your cash surrender value by
exercising your surrender or partial surrender privileges. Surrenders, however,
may involve tax liability.

You may surrender your contract in full at any time by sending a written request
together with the contract to our home office. The cash surrender value of the
contract equals the accumulation value less any applicable surrender charges.
Upon surrender, the amount of any outstanding loans will be deducted from the
cash surrender value to determine the proceeds. The proceeds will be determined
on the valuation date on which the request for a surrender is received. Proceeds
will generally be paid within seven days of receipt of a request for surrender.

After two years from the issue date, you may obtain a portion of your
accumulation value upon partial surrender of the contract. Partial surrenders
cannot be made more than twice during any contract year. The amount of any
partial surrender may not exceed the cash surrender value, minus:

     - any outstanding contract indebtedness,

     - an amount sufficient to cover the next two monthly deductions and

     - the service charge of $25 or 2% of the amount surrendered, if less.

Form 5560.5

                                       18
<PAGE>   21

We will reduce the accumulation value of your contract by the amount of any
partial surrender. In doing so, we will deduct the accumulation value taken by a
partial surrender from each increase and your initial stated amount in
proportion to the amount such increases and initial stated amount bear to the
total stated amount.

Under Plan A, a partial surrender reduces your stated amount. Such a surrender
will result in a dollar for dollar reduction in the death proceeds except when
the death proceeds of your contract are determined by the corridor percentage
test. The stated amount remaining after a partial surrender may be no less than
the minimum stated amount of $50,000. If increases in stated amount have
occurred previously, a partial surrender will first reduce the stated amount of
the most recent increase, then the next most recent increases successively, then
the initial stated amount.

Under Plan B, a partial surrender reduces your accumulation value. Such a
reduction will result in a dollar for dollar reduction in the death proceeds
except when the death proceeds are determined by the corridor percentage test.
Because the Plan B death benefit is the sum of the accumulation value and stated
amount, a partial surrender under Plan B does not reduce your stated amount but
instead reduces accumulation value.

If the proceeds payable under either death benefit option both before and after
the partial surrender are determined by the corridor percentage test, a partial
surrender generally will result in a reduction in proceeds equal to the amount
paid upon such surrender plus such amount multiplied by the applicable corridor
percentage.

During the first 20 contract years and for 20 years after the effective date of
an increase, a partial surrender charge in addition to the service charge of the
lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount surrendered will be made on the amount of
partial surrenders in any contract year that exceeds 10% of the cash surrender
value as of the end of the previous contract year.

MATURITY

We will pay you your accumulation value, reduced by any outstanding contract
indebtedness, on the maturity date. The maturity date is listed on the
specification page and is generally the end of the contract year nearest your
100th birthday. If we consent, you may instead continue your contract as an
extended endowment after the maturity date. In such case, the death benefit
after the maturity date will equal your contract's cash surrender value.

                                    PREMIUMS

PURCHASING A CONTRACT

To purchase a contract, you must complete an application and submit it to us at
our home office through the agent selling the contract. Generally, we will not
issue a contract to a person older than age 80, but we may do so at our sole
discretion. Non-smoker rates are available if you are age 18 or over. We will
only issue contracts with stated amounts of $50,000 or more. All applications
require evidence of insurability. Acceptance of any application is subject to
our insurance underwriting rules. The review period for routine applications
will generally last one week. Approval of applications that require supplemental
medical information, however, may be delayed six weeks or more while such
information is obtained and reviewed.

You must pay an initial premium in order for your contract to take effect. The
contract takes effect as of the contract date. However, if you pay the initial
premium at the time you submit your application, we will, pursuant to the
premium receipt agreement contained in such application, provide you with
insurance coverage equal to your stated amount (up to $1,000,000) for a period
of up to 60 days, starting on the later of the date of your application and the
date you complete any required medical examination and ending on the date we
approve or reject your application. We do not pay interest on initial premiums
during the review period.

Form 5560.5

                                       19
<PAGE>   22

The contract date will be the same as the issue date, except in the case of a
backdated contract where the contract date will be earlier than the issue date.
At your request, we will backdate a contract as much as six months where
permitted by state law. This procedure may be to your advantage where backdating
will lower your age at issue and thereby lower your cost of insurance and
surrender charges which are scaled by age. A backdated contract will be treated
as though it had been in force since the contract date. Consequently, the
initial premium required for a backdated contract will be larger than for a
contract which is not backdated because you must pay the minimum premium, pay
monthly deductions and pay all other charges associated with the contract for
the period between the contract date and the issue date.

On the later of the issue date and the date we receive your initial premium, net
premiums are allocated to the Money Market subaccount. On the first process day
following the issue date or, if later, when we receive your initial premium,
such net premiums will be allocated among the subaccounts and the general
account in accordance with your instructions as indicated in your application.

If we reject your application during the review period or you choose to cancel
your contract during the free look period, we will refund to you all amounts you
have paid under the contract.

PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS

We allocate premium payments to the various subaccounts the same day if received
by us at our home office before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If a premium payment is
dishonored, you will be liable to us for any changes in the market value between
the date received and the date we are notified that the payment was dishonored.
We will deduct any amount due for this reason from your contract value.

Unlike a traditional insurance policy, the contract does not require a fixed
schedule of premium payments. Within certain limits, you may determine the
amount and timing of your premium payments. As described below, such limits
include an initial premium requirement and a minimum premium requirement. Your
contract specification page will also include a schedule of planned premiums.

INITIAL PREMIUMS

You must pay an initial premium before we will make your contract effective.
This premium may be submitted with your contract application or sent directly to
us at our home office. The amount of the initial premium will be at least one
monthly minimum premium. The initial premium for a backdated contract may be
substantially greater.

TERM INSURANCE CONVERSION CREDIT

We will apply a term insurance conversion credit as premium paid in the first
contract year. The conversion credit is based on (but not necessarily equal to)
the amount of annual premium for the Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation
term life insurance policy being converted to, or exchanged for, the new
contract. Consult your agent for details.

MINIMUM PREMIUMS

You must pay the minimum premium to keep the death benefit guarantee in effect.
Failure to make premium payments sufficient to maintain the death benefit
guarantee will not necessarily cause your contract to lapse. However, once the
death benefit guarantee does not apply to your contract, it may not be
reinstated. The monthly deduction for the death benefit guarantee will not be
imposed on contracts for which the death benefit guarantee is no longer in
effect.

To pay the minimum premium, you must have paid at any time cumulative premiums,
less any partial surrenders and contract indebtedness, equal to the monthly
minimum premium multiplied by the number of contract

Form 5560.5

                                       20
<PAGE>   23

months the contract has been in effect. The monthly minimum premium indicated on
the contract specification page will remain a level amount until the end of the
death benefit guarantee period.

PLANNED PREMIUMS

When you purchase a contract, you will be asked to adopt a planned premium
schedule. The schedule is a planning device which indicates the level of
premiums you intend to pay under the contract. You are not required to adhere to
it. You may adopt, in consultation with your agent, any planned premium schedule
that you wish. The amount of scheduled payments, however, should generally be
set between the minimum premium necessary to keep the death benefit guarantee in
effect and the maximum premium permitted for your contract to qualify as life
insurance under the Code. The guideline annual premium is a level amount which
should provide the benefits under the contract through age 100 and is based on
guaranteed assumptions with respect to expenses and cost of insurance charges
and investment performance of 4%.

In choosing your planned premium schedule, you will need to make a judgment as
to the long-term rate of investment return which you expect under the contract.
The higher your assumption as to the long-term rate of investment return, the
lower your planned premium needs to be for a given insurance objective, and vice
versa. There is no assurance that your planned premiums will provide the death
proceeds or other benefits sought under the contract. By definition, the value
of such benefits depends on the investment performance of the subaccounts which
cannot be predicted. In any event, you may need to pay greater or lesser
premiums than are indicated in the planned premium schedule to attain your
insurance objectives.

We will furnish you an annual report which will show personalized hypothetical
illustrations of your contract values under various performance scenarios and
assumed rates of return one year from the date of the report based on planned
premiums, guaranteed cost of insurance and guaranteed interest with respect to
the general account. We may charge for this report.

As previously indicated, at any time you may pay more or less than the amount
indicated in the planned premium schedule. We may at our discretion, however,
refuse to accept any premium payment of less than $25 or so large that it would
cause the contract, without an increase in death benefit, to be disqualified as
life insurance or to be treated as a modified endowment contract under federal
law.

ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS

In the contract application, you may direct the allocation of your net premium
payments among up to 10 of the subaccounts of VAR and the general account. Your
initial allocation will take effect on the first process day following the issue
date or, if later, when we receive your initial premium payment. Pending such
allocation, net premiums will be held in the Money Market subaccount. If you
fail to indicate an allocation in your contract application, we will leave your
net premiums in the Money Market subaccount until we receive allocation
instructions. The amount allocated to any subaccount or the general account must
equal a whole percentage. You may change the allocation of your future net
premiums at any time upon written notice to us. Premiums allocated to an
increase will be credited to the subaccounts and the general account in
accordance with your premium allocation then in effect on the later of the date
of the increase or the date we receive such a premium.

TRANSFERS

You may transfer the accumulation value of your contract among the subaccounts
of VAR and to the general account at any time. Each amount transferred must be
at least $300 unless a smaller amount constitutes the entire accumulation value
of the subaccount from which the transfer is being made, in which case you may
only transfer the entire amount. There is a service charge of $3 for each
transfer, but we are presently waiving that charge for the first four transfers
during a contract year. Such fee is guaranteed not to exceed $15 in the future.

Form 5560.5

                                       21
<PAGE>   24

Transfers from the general account to the subaccounts are subject to additional
restrictions. No more than 25% of the accumulation value in the general account
as of the end of the previous contract year, or $1,000, if greater, may be
transferred to one or more of the subaccounts in any contract year.

To the extent that transfers, surrenders and loans 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 we may limit the number, frequency,
method or amount of transfers. Transfers from any Fund on any one day may be
limited to 1% of the previous day's total net assets of that Fund if we or the
Fund, in our or their discretion, believe that the Fund 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 (pursuant
to a preexisting 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. If your transfer requests are not
made, we will notify you. Current rules of the Commission preclude us 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.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

We administer a Dollar Cost Averaging ("DCA") program enabling you to
preauthorize automatic monthly or quarterly transfers of a specified dollar
amount:

     - from any variable subaccount to any of the other subaccounts or the
       general account, or

     - if established at the time the contract is issued and limited to
       accumulation values attributed to your initial premium payment, from the
       general account to any other subaccounts.

The DCA program is only available on contracts having a total accumulation value
of at least $10,000. Each transfer under the DCA program must be at least $300,
and at least 12 transfers must be scheduled. No transfer fee will be charged for
DCA transfers. We may discontinue the DCA program at any time.

DCA generally has the effect of reducing the risk of purchasing at the top of a
market cycle by reducing the average cost of indirectly purchasing Fund shares
through the subaccounts to less than the average price of the shares on the same
purchase dates. This is because greater numbers of shares are 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. In
addition, in a rising market, DCA will produce a lower rate of return than will
a single up-front investment. Moreover, for transfers from a subaccount not
having a stabilized net asset value, DCA will have the effect of reducing the
average price of shares being redeemed.

TELEACCESS

If you give us a pre-authorization form contract and unit values and interest
rates can be checked and transfers may be made by telephoning us between 7:00
a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on days we are open for business, at
1-800-366-6654, #8. You may only make one telephone transfer per day. We will
honor pre-authorized telephone transfer instructions from anyone who provides
the personal identifying information requested via TeleAccess. We will not honor
telephone transfer requests after the contractowner's death. For added security,
we send the contractowner a written confirmation of all telephone transfers on
the next business day. However, if we cannot complete a transfer as requested,
our customer service representative will contact the contractowner in writing
sent within 48 hours of the TeleAccess request. YOU MAY THINK THAT YOU HAVE
LIMITED

THIS ACCESS TO YOURSELF, OR TO YOURSELF AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE. HOWEVER, ANYONE
GIVING US THE NECESSARY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION CAN USE TELEACCESS ONCE YOU
AUTHORIZE ITS USE.

LAPSE

Provided you pay the minimum premium and thereby keep the death benefit
guarantee in effect, your contract will not lapse during the death benefit
guarantee period. If you fail to pay the minimum premium and, as a result, the
death benefit guarantee is not in effect, the contract will remain in force as
long as the cash surrender value less any contract indebtedness is sufficient to
pay the next monthly deduction. If the cash surrender value less any contract
indebtedness is insufficient to pay the next monthly deduction, you will be
given a 61 day grace period within which to make a premium payment to avoid
lapse. The premium required to avoid lapse will be equal to the amount needed to
allow the cash surrender value less any contract indebtedness to cover the
monthly deduction for two contract months. This required premium will be
indicated in a written notice which we will send to you at the beginning of the
grace period. The grace period begins when we mail the notice. The contract will
continue in force throughout the grace period, but if the required premium is
not received, the contract will terminate without value at the end of the grace
period. If you die during the grace period, the death benefit will be reduced by
the amount of any unpaid monthly deduction. However, the contract will never
lapse due to insufficient cash surrender value as long as the death benefit
guarantee is in effect.

REINSTATEMENT

If the contract lapses, you may apply for reinstatement anytime within five
years. Your contract will be reinstated if you supply proof of insurability and
pay the monthly cost of insurance charges from the grace period plus a
reinstatement premium. The reinstatement premium, after deduction of the premium
expense charge, must be sufficient to cover the monthly deduction for two
contract months following the effective date of reinstatement. If a loan was
outstanding at the time of lapse, we will require reinstatement or repayment of
the loan and accrued interest at 6% per year before permitting reinstatement of
the contract.

CONVERSION

Once during the first two years following the issue date and the date of any
increase in stated amount, you may convert your contract or increase, as
applicable, to a fixed benefit flexible premium policy by transferring all of
your accumulation value to the general account. After such a transfer, values
and death benefits under your contract will be determinable and guaranteed.
Accumulation values will be determined as of the date we receive a conversion
request at our home office. There will be no change in stated amount as a result
of the conversion and no evidence of insurability is required. Outstanding loans
need not be repaid in order to convert your contract. Transfers of accumulation
value to the general account in connection with such a conversion will be made
without charge.

FREE LOOK

You have a limited right to cancel your contract or any increase in stated
amount. We will cancel the contract or increase if you notify us or our agent
before 20 days from the date you receive the contract or increase. Within seven
days after we receive your notice to cancel, we will return all of the money you
paid for the cancelled contract or increase.

                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

We make charges against or deductions from premium payments, accumulation values
and contract surrenders in the manner described below.

Form 5560.5

PREMIUM EXPENSE CHARGE

Each premium payment is subject to a premium expense charge. The premium expense
charge has two components: a federal tax charge and a charge for the state
premium tax and any other state and local taxes applicable to your contract.

Federal Tax Charge. The contract is subject to a charge of 1.25% of premiums
paid in the first 10 years. This charge is intended to help defray the federal
tax cost attributable to this contract.

State Premium Tax. Your premium payments will be subject to the state premium
tax and any other state or local taxes applicable to your contract. Currently,
most state premium taxes range from 0% to 4%.

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 premium under the contract.

The amount of the initial credit equals 45% of the first contract year's maximum
commissionable premium or 45% of the maximum commissionable premium of an
increase, which is credited to the general account of the employee's contract
effective one day after the latest of the following three dates:

     - the policy approval date,

     - the policy effective date, or

     - the date the initial payment is received.

The subsequent credit, which is based on 3% of first year premium in excess of
the maximum commissionable premium plus 3% of premiums paid in contract years
two through six, is credited to the general account of the employee's contract
at the beginning of the seventh contract year. For any increase that occurs
during the first six contract years, the 45% initial credit on the increase
described above substitutes for the 3% subsequent credit on that portion of the
premium attributable to the increase.

MONTHLY DEDUCTION

As of the contract date and each subsequent process day, we will deduct from the
accumulation value of your contract a monthly deduction to cover certain charges
and expenses incurred in connection with the contract.

The monthly deduction consists of:

     - the cost of insurance,

     - an administration charge of $7 for the cost of establishing and
       maintaining contract records and processing applications and notices,

     - a risk charge for the risk associated with the death benefit guarantee,
       and

     - the cost of additional insurance benefits provided by rider.

Form 5560.5

                                       24
<PAGE>   27

Your cost of insurance is determined on a monthly basis, and is determined
separately for your initial stated amount and each subsequent increase in the
stated amount. The monthly cost of insurance rate is based on your sex, attained
age, and rate class. The cost of insurance is calculated by multiplying (i) by
the result of (ii) minus (iii), where:

(i) is the cost of insurance rate as described in the contract. Such actual cost
    will be based on our expectations as to future mortality experience. It will
    not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates set
    forth in the contract. Such rates for smokers and non-smokers are based on
    the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary, Male or Female, Smoker or
    Nonsmoker, mortality table. The cost of insurance charge is guaranteed not
    to exceed such table rates for the insured's risk class;

(ii) is the death benefit at the beginning of the contract month divided by
     1.0032737; and

(iii) is accumulation value at the beginning of the contract month.

In connection with certain employer-related plans, cost of insurance rates may
not be based on sex.

The monthly charge for the death benefit guarantee is $0.00, $0.01, or $0.03 per
$1,000 of your stated amount, depending upon which death benefit guarantee
period you choose.

RISK CHARGE

Your accumulation value in VAR, but not your accumulation value in the general
account, will also be subject to a risk charge intended to compensate us for
assuming certain mortality and expense risks in connection with the contract.
Such charge will be assessed at a daily rate of 0.0020471% against each of the
variable subaccounts. This corresponds to an annual rate of 0.75%. The risks we
assume include the risks of greater than anticipated mortality and expenses.

SURRENDER CHARGE

After the free look period and during the early years of your contract and
following any increase in stated amount, a surrender charge is assessed in
connection with all complete surrenders, all lapses, all decreases in stated
amount and certain partial surrenders. Such surrender charge consists of two
components:

     - a contingent deferred sales charge, which applies to your initial
       contract for 20 years from the contract date and to any increase for 20
       years from the effective date of such increase, and

     - a contingent deferred insurance underwriting charge, which applies for 8
       years from such dates.

If you surrender your contract in full or it lapses when a surrender charge
applies, we will deduct the total charge from your accumulation value. If you
decrease the stated amount of your contract while a surrender charge applies,
your accumulation value will be charged with the portion of the total surrender
charge attributable to the stated amount cancelled by the decrease.

Partial surrenders in any contract year totaling 10% or less of the cash
surrender value of your contract as of the end of the previous contract year are
not subject to any surrender charge. Partial surrenders in any contract year in
excess of 10% of the cash surrender value of your contract as of the end of the
previous contract year will be subject to that percentage of the total surrender
charges that is equal to the percentage of cash surrender value withdrawn minus
10%.

For example, assume a contract which now has, and at the end of the previous
contract year had, an accumulation value of $11,100 and a surrender charge of
$1,100. The cash surrender value of the contract is therefore $10,000. If you
decide to withdraw 25% of such cash surrender value ($2,500), we will impose a
charge

Form 5560.5

                                       25
<PAGE>   28

equal to 15% (25% minus 10%) of the total surrender charge (.15 x $1,100 = $165)
and reduce your accumulation value by that amount, as well as by the $2,500 you
withdrew.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. The contingent deferred sales charge for your
initial contract is 50% of premiums paid in the first 10 years up to the maximum
shown on the contract specification page. The contingent deferred sales charge
takes effect only if your contract lapses or you surrender your contract, in
whole or in part, or decrease your stated amount, during the first 20 contract
years following the issue date or the date of any increase.

The contingent deferred sales charge for an increase is 50% of premiums
allocated to that increase in the first 10 years.

We grade-off the contingent deferred sales charge over the 20 year period to
which it applies. The table below shows the percentage of the total charge that
we intend to impose on surrenders, lapses, decreases and certain partial
surrenders in each year such charge applies.

Contingent Deferred Insurance Underwriting Charge. The contingent deferred
insurance underwriting charge varies with age at issue or increase and is
expressed as an amount per thousand dollars of your stated amount and therefore
varies with the size of your contract as well. The charge only applies to the
first $500,000 of your stated amount. The charges per thousand dollars of stated
amount and the maximum charges by virtue of the $500,000 cap are set forth in
the following table:

The contingent deferred insurance underwriting charge compensates us for certain
insurance underwriting costs, including the selection and classification of
risks and processing medical evidence of insurability.

SERVICE CHARGES

A charge (currently $3 and guaranteed not to exceed $15) will be imposed on each
transfer of accumulation values among the subaccounts of the variable account
and the general account. Currently, the Company is not assessing this charge on
the first four transfers made in any contract year. For partial surrenders, a
service fee will be charged equal to the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount
surrendered. A fee, not to exceed $100, is charged for any illustration of
benefits and values that you may request after the issue date.

OTHER CHARGES

We may also charge the assets of each subaccount and the general account to
provide for any taxes that may become payable by us in respect of such assets.
Under current law, no such taxes are anticipated. In addition, the Funds pay
certain expenses that affect the value of your contract. The principal expenses
at the Fund level are an investment advisory fee and Fund operating expenses.
The Funds pay their Advisers annual fees on the basis of each portfolio's
average daily net assets during the month for which the fees are paid. The fees
are described in the Fund prospectuses.

The total expenses of each of the Funds in 1999, as a percent of each Fund's net
assets, were:

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

VOTING RIGHTS

We will vote the Fund shares held in the various subaccounts of VAR at Fund
shareholder meetings in accordance with your instructions. If, however, the 1940
Act or any regulation thereunder should change and we determine that it is
permissible to vote the Fund shares in our own right, we may elect to do so. The
number of votes as to which you have the right to instruct will be determined by
dividing your contract's accumulation value in a subaccount by the net asset
value per share of the corresponding Fund portfolio. Fractional shares will be
counted. The number of votes as to which you have the right to instruct will be
determined as of the date coincident with the date established by the Fund for
determining shareholders eligible to vote at the Fund meeting. Voting
instructions will be solicited in writing prior to such meeting in accordance
with procedures established by the Fund. We will vote Fund shares attributable
to contracts as to which no instructions are received, and any Fund shares held
by VAR which are not attributable to contracts, in proportion to the voting
instructions which are received with respect to contracts participating in VAR.
Each person having a voting interest will receive proxy material, reports and
other material relating to the Funds.

We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that shares be voted so as to
cause a change in subclassification or investment objective of the Fund or
disapprove an investment advisory contract of the Fund. In addition, we may
disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by a contractowner
in the investment policy or the investment adviser of the Fund if we

Form 5560.5

                                       28
<PAGE>   31

reasonably disapprove of such changes. A change would be disapproved only if the
proposed change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory
authorities or we determined that the change would be inconsistent with the
investment objectives of VAR or would result in the purchase of securities for
VAR which vary from the general quality and nature of investments and investment
techniques utilized by other separate accounts created by us or any of our
affiliates which have similar investment objectives. In the event that we
disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reason for such
action will be included in your next semi-annual report.

ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR SUBSTITUTIONS OF INVESTMENTS

We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to make
additions to, deletions from or substitutions for the shares held by any
subaccount or which any subaccount may purchase. If shares of the Funds should
no longer be available for investment or if, in the judgment of management,
further investment in shares of the Funds would be inappropriate in view of the
purposes of the contract, we may substitute shares of any other investment
company for shares already purchased, or to be purchased in the future. No
substitution of securities will take place without notice to and the consent of
contractowners and without prior approval of the Commission, all to the extent
required by the 1940 Act. In addition, the investment policy of VAR will not be
changed without the approval of the Ohio Superintendent of Insurance and such
approval will be on file with the state insurance regulator of the state where
your contract was delivered.

ANNUAL REPORT

Each year we will send you a report which shows the current accumulation value,
the cash surrender value, the stated amount, any contract indebtedness, any
partial withdrawals since the date of the last report, investment experience
credited since the last report, premiums paid and all charges imposed since the
last annual report. We will also send you all reports required by the 1940 Act.

We will also make available an illustration report. This report will be based on
planned premiums, guaranteed cost of insurance and guaranteed interest, if any.
It will show the estimated accumulation value of your contract one year from the
date of the report. Although there is generally no charge, we may charge a fee
of not more than $100 for this report and if you ask for more than one annual
report.

LIMITATION ON RIGHT TO CONTEST

We will not contest the insurance coverage provided under the contract, except
for any subsequent increase in stated amount, after the contract has been in
force during your lifetime for a period of two years from the contract date.
This provision does not apply to any rider which grants disability or accidental
death benefits. Any increase in the stated amount will not be contested after
such increase has been in force during your lifetime for two years following the
effective date of the increase. Any increase will be contestable within the two
year period only with regard to statements concerning the increase.

MISSTATEMENTS

If the age or sex of the insured has been misstated in an application, including
a reinstatement application, the amount payable under the contract by reason of
the death of the insured will be 1.0032737 multiplied by the sum of (i) and (ii)
where:

     (i)  is the accumulation value on the date of death; and

     (ii) is the death benefit, less the accumulation value on the date of
          death, multiplied by the ratio of (a) the cost of insurance actually
          deducted at the beginning of the contract month in which the death
          occurs to (b) the cost of insurance that should have been deducted at
          the insured's true age or sex.

                                       29
<PAGE>   32

SUICIDE

The contract does not cover the risk of suicide or self-destruction within two
years from the contract date or two years from the date of any increase in
stated amount with respect to that increase, whether the insured is sane or
insane. In the event of suicide within two years of the contract date, we will
refund premiums paid, without interest, less any contract indebtedness and less
any partial surrender. In the event of suicide within two years of an increase
in stated amount, we will refund any premiums allocated to the increase, without
interest, less a deduction for a share of any contract indebtedness outstanding
and any partial surrenders made since the increase. The share of indebtedness
and partial surrenders so deducted will be determined by dividing the total face
amount at the time of death by the face amount of the increase.

BENEFICIARIES

The primary and contingent beneficiaries are designated by the contractowner on
the application. If changed, the primary beneficiary or contingent beneficiary
is as shown in the latest change filed with us. If more than one beneficiary
survives the insured, the proceeds of the contract will be paid in equal shares
to the survivors in the appropriate beneficiary class unless requested otherwise
by the contractowner.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

Payment of any amount upon a complete or partial surrender, a contract loan, or
benefits payable at death or maturity may be postponed whenever:

     - the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary week-end and
       holiday closings, or trading on the Exchange is restricted as determined
       by the Commission;

     - the Commission by order permits postponement for the protection of
       contractowners; or

     - an emergency exists, as determined by the Commission, as a result of
       which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not
       reasonably practicable to determine the value of VAR's net assets.

We may also withhold payment of any increased accumulation value or loan value
resulting from a recent premium payment until your premium check has cleared.
This could take up to 15 days after we receive your check.

ASSIGNMENT

The contract may be assigned as collateral security. We must be notified in
writing if the contract has been assigned. Each assignment will be subject to
any payments made or action taken by us prior to our notification of such
assignment. We are not responsible for the validity of an assignment. The
contractowner's rights and the rights of the beneficiary may be affected by an
assignment.

NON-PARTICIPATING CONTRACT

The contract does not share in our surplus distributions. No dividends are
payable with respect to the contract.

                              THE GENERAL ACCOUNT

By virtue of exclusionary provisions, interests in the general account have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the general account has not
been registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly,
neither the general account nor any interests therein are subject to the
provisions of these Acts.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The general account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the
variable account and any other separate accounts we may establish. Subject to
applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of the assets of the
general account. You may elect to allocate net premiums to the general account
or to transfer accumulation value to the general account from the subaccounts of
the variable account. The allocation or transfer

of funds to the general account does not entitle a contractowner to share in the
investment experience of the general account. Instead, we guarantee that your
accumulation value in the general account will accrue interest daily at an
effective annual rate of at least 4%, without regard to the actual investment
experience of the general account. Consequently, if you pay the planned
premiums, allocate all net premiums only to the general account and make no
transfers, partial surrenders, or contract loans, the minimum amount and
duration of your death benefit will be determinable and guaranteed. Transfers
from the general account to VAR are partially restricted and allocation of
substantial sums to the general account reduces the flexibility of the contract.

ACCUMULATION VALUE

The accumulation value in the general account on the later of the issue date or
the day we receive your initial premium is equal to the portion of the net
premium allocated to the general account, minus a pro rata portion of the first
monthly deduction.

Thereafter, until the maturity date, we guarantee that the accumulation value in
the general account will not be less than the amount of the net premiums
allocated or accumulation value transferred to the general account, plus
interest at the rate of 4% per year, plus any excess interest which we credit,
less the sum of all charges and interest thereon allocable to the general
account and any amounts deducted from the general account in connection with
partial surrenders and loans and interest thereon or transfers to VAR or the
loan collateral account.

We guarantee that interest credited to your accumulation value in the general
account will not be less than an effective annual rate of 4% per year. We may,
at our sole discretion, credit a higher rate of interest, although we are not
obligated to do so. The contractowner assumes the risk that interest credited
may not exceed the guaranteed minimum rate of 4% per year. The accumulation
value in the general account will be calculated on each valuation date.

OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS

Subject to certain requirements, one or more optional insurance benefits may be
added to your contract, including riders providing additional term insurance,
spouse/additional insured term insurance, family plan/children insurance, a
guaranteed purchase option, accidental death, waiver of premium, preferred loan,
continuation of coverage, and accelerated death benefit. More detailed
information concerning such riders may be obtained from your agent. The cost of
any optional insurance benefits will be deducted as part of the monthly
deduction.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS

In addition to a lump sum payment of benefits under the contract, any proceeds
may be paid in any of the five methods described in your contract. For more
details, contact your agent. A settlement option may be designated by notifying
us in writing at our home office. Any amount left with us for payment under a
settlement option will be transferred to the general account. During the life of
the insured, the contractowner may select a settlement option. If a settlement
option has not been chosen at the insured's death, the beneficiary may choose
one. If a beneficiary is changed, the settlement option selection will no longer
be in effect unless the contractowner requests that it continue. A settlement
option may be elected only if the amount of the proceeds is $5,000 or more. We
can change the interval of payments if necessary to increase the payments to at
least $25 each.

                          DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT

The contract is sold by individuals who, in addition to being licensed as life
insurance agents, are also registered representatives (a) of The O.N. Equity
Sales Company ("ONESCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio National Life, or
(b) of other broker-dealers that have entered into distribution agreements with
the principal

underwriter of the contracts. ONESCO and the other broker-dealers are
responsible for supervising and controlling the conduct of their registered
representatives in connection with the offer and sale of the contract. ONESCO
and the other broker-dealers are registered with the Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the National Association of

distribution and service agreement with ONEQ, we reimburse it for any expenses
incurred by it in connection with the distribution of the contracts. This
agreement may be terminated at any time by either party on 60 days' written
notice. During 1999, VAR received $33,750,069 in premium payments for variable
life insurance contracts. From this amount, we paid ONEQ $10,322,617 in sales
loads.

                        STATE REGULATION OF THE COMPANY

We are organized under the laws of the State of Ohio and are subject to
regulation by the Superintendent of Insurance of Ohio. An annual statement is
filed with the Superintendent on or before March 1 of each year covering the
operations and reporting on our financial condition as of December 31 of the
preceding year. Periodically, the Superintendent examines our assets and
liabilities and those of VAR and verifies their adequacy. A full examination of
our operations is conducted by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners at least every five years.

In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of other
states in which we are licensed to operate. Generally, the insurance department
of any other state applies the laws of the state of domicile in determining
permissible investments.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

The following description is a brief summary of some of the Code provisions
which, in our opinion, are currently in effect. This summary does not purport to
be complete or to cover all situations, including the possible tax consequences
of changes in ownership. Counsel and other competent tax advisers should be
consulted for more complete information. 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.

CONTRACT PROCEEDS

The contract contains provisions not found in traditional life insurance
contracts providing only for fixed benefits. However, under the Code, as amended
by the Tax Reform Act of 1984, the contract should qualify as a life insurance
contract for federal income tax purposes as long as certain conditions are met.
Consequently, the proceeds of the contract payable to the beneficiary on the
death of the insured will generally be excluded from the beneficiary's income
for purposes of federal income tax.

Current tax rules and penalties on distributions from life insurance contracts
apply to any life insurance contract issued or materially changed on or after
June 21, 1988 that is funded more heavily (faster) than a traditional whole life
plan designed to be paid-up after the payment of level annual premiums over a
seven-year period. Thus, for such a contract (called a "modified endowment
contract" in the Code), any distribution, including surrenders, partial
surrenders, maturity proceeds, and loans secured by the contract, during the
insured's lifetime (but not payments received as an annuity or as a death
benefit) would be included in the contractowner's gross income to the extent
that the contract's cash surrender value exceeds the owner's investment in the
contract. In addition, a ten percent penalty tax applies to any such
distribution from such a contract, to the extent includible in gross income,
except if made:

     - after the taxpayer's attaining age 59 1/2,

     - as a result of his or her disability or

     - in one of several prescribed forms of annuity payments.

Loans received under the contract will be construed as indebtedness of the
contractowner in the same manner as loans under a fixed benefit life insurance
policy and no part of any loan under the contract is expected to constitute
income to the contractowner. Interest payable with respect to such loans is not
tax deductible. If the contract is surrendered or lapsed, any policy loan then
in effect is treated as taxable income to the extent that the contract's
accumulation value (including the loan amount) then exceeds your "basis" in the
contract. (Your "basis" equals the total amount of premiums that were paid into
the contract less any withdrawals from the contract.)

Form 5560.5

                                       34
<PAGE>   37

Federal estate and local estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of
contract ownership or receipt of contract proceeds depend upon the circumstances
of each contractowner and beneficiary.

CORRECTION OF MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT

If you have made premium payments in excess of the amount that would be
permitted without your contract being treated as a modified endowment contract
under the Code, you may, upon timely written request, prevent that tax treatment
by receiving a refund, without deduction of any charges, of the excess premium
paid, plus interest thereon at the rate of 6% per year. Under the Code, such a
corrective action must be completed by no later than 60 days after the end of
the year following the date the contract became a modified endowment contract.

RIGHT TO CHARGE FOR COMPANY TAXES

We are presently taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the
Code. The Tax Reform Act of 1984 specifically provides for adjustments in
reserves for flexible premium policies, and we will reflect flexible premium
life insurance operations in our tax return in accordance with such Act.

Currently, no charge is assessed against VAR for our federal taxes, or provision
made for such taxes, that may be attributable to VAR. However, we may in the
future charge each subaccount of VAR for its portion of any tax charged to us in
respect of that subaccount or its assets. Under present law, we may incur state
and local taxes (in addition to premium taxes) in several states. At present,
these taxes are not significant. If they increase, however, we may decide to
assess charges for such taxes, or make provision for such taxes, against VAR.
Any such charges against VAR or its subaccounts could have an adverse effect on
the investment performance of the subaccounts.

                             EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employers and employee organizations should consider, in consultation with
counsel, the impact of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on the purchase
of a contract in connection with an employment-related insurance or benefit
plan. The United States Supreme Court held, in a 1983 decision, that, under
Title VII, optional annuity benefits under a deferred compensation plan could
not vary on the basis of sex.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings to which VAR is a party or to which the assets of
any of the subaccounts thereof are subject. We are not involved in any
litigation that is of material importance in relation to its total assets or
that relates to VAR.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

Jones & Blouch, L.L.P., Washington, D.C., has served as special counsel with
regard to legal matters relating to federal securities laws applicable to the
issuance of the flexible premium variable life insurance contract described in
this prospectus. All matters of Ohio law pertaining to the contract including
the validity of the contract and our right to issue the contract under the
Insurance Law of the State of Ohio have been passed upon by Ronald L. Benedict,
Corporate Vice President, Counsel and Secretary of Ohio National Life.

VARI-VEST I

From 1986 to April 30, 1993, we issued Vari-Vest I flexible premium variable
life insurance contracts. Vari-Vest I is no longer being issued, so there is no
current prospectus for the product. Therefore, Vari-Vest I owners receive this
Vari-Vest V prospectus. The Vari-Vest I contracts that continue in existence are
substantially the same as the contracts described in this prospectus, with the
following exceptions.

You may invest in up to 10 of the following portfolios of Ohio National Fund:

Maturity of Vari-Vest I occurs at age 95.

References to Accumulation Value in this prospectus are equivalent to Vari-Vest
I references to Cash Value.

The surrender charge for Vari-Vest I contracts is composed solely of the
deferred insurance underwriting charge because there is no contingent deferred
sales charge for Vari-Vest I. The charge is made if you: surrender the contract
in full or decrease your stated amount during the first seven years it is in
force or within seven years following an increase in the stated amount, or if
you make partial surrenders of the contract in any contract year aggregating
more than 10% of your cash surrender value as of the end of the previous
contract year. The contract reserves the right to charge 100% of the surrender
charge in each of seven successive years. Currently, we grade off the surrender
charge in accordance with the table shown in this prospectus with the following
changes: percentage of total charge in year 5 is 75%, in year 6 is 50% and in
year 7 is 25%.

Form 5560.5

                                       36
<PAGE>   39

The loan collateral account guaranteed interest rate is 5%. The general account
is also guaranteed to earn interest at an effective annual rate of 5%.

The death benefit guarantee is in effect until age 70 or ten years from the
contract date, if later.

At any time during the first 24 months after we issue any increase in stated
amount, you may convert your increase into a fixed benefit flexible premium life
insurance policy by transferring your cash value to the general account. Your
converted contract will have the same death benefit and the same amount at risk
as did the increase.

The premium expense charge does not contain the federal tax charge described in
this prospectus, but it does contain a sales load on premium payments for
insureds through age 70 of 7.5%; for increases in stated amount, premiums paid
within one year of the date of the increase will be subject to a 30% sales load
for insureds under age 60 or a 20% sales load for insureds aged 60 through 70.

You will not be charged more than $25 for a special illustration of contract
benefits.

The monthly minimum premium will increase substantially after the death benefit
guarantee period (age 70 or ten years from the contract date, if later).

Your contract is subject to a new surrender charge as a result of an increase in
stated amount for only seven years.

You can decrease your stated amount without waiting two years from the date of
increase.

The following sections of this prospectus do not apply to your contract: "Term
Insurance Conversion Credit"; and the second two paragraphs of "Transfers".

The guideline annual premium for your contract is based on maturity at age 95
and, in addition to the other factors described in this prospectus, a guaranteed
assumption of investment performance of 5%.

The monthly deduction for your contract includes a $5 administrative charge and
a set risk charge of $.01 per $1000 of stated amount for the risk associated
with the death benefit guarantee.

The cost of insurance is based on assumed interest at 5% per year and the death
benefit at the beginning of the contract month divided by 1.0040741.

In the event of a misstatement of the age or sex of the insured in an
application, the factor applied will be 1.0040741.

The following riders described in this prospectus are not available to you:
preferred loan, continuation of coverage, accelerated death benefit.

VARI-VEST III

From 1986 to April 30, 1993, we issued Vari-Vest III single premium variable
life insurance contracts. Vari-Vest III is no longer being issued, so there is
no current prospectus for the product. Therefore, Vari-Vest III owners receive
this Vari-Vest V prospectus. The Vari-Vest III contracts that continue in
existence are similar to the contracts described in this prospectus, with the
following exceptions.

You may invest in up to 10 of the following portfolios of Ohio National Fund:

Maturity of Vari-Vest III occurs at age 95.

References to Accumulation Value in this prospectus are equivalent to Vari-Vest
III references to Cash Value.

Loan value will never be less than 90% of your cash surrender value. Loan
interest is payable in advance at a variable rate of no less than 6%. The rate
in each contract year will be the rate we set on the previous June 30. To the
extent your cash surrender value exceeds your gross premium payments under the
contract and to the extent you have borrowed such excess, we intend to credit
interest to the loan collateral account at a rate that is .50% less than the
effective compound annual loan interest rate charged on the loan. To the extent
your loans exceed any such excess, we intend to credit interest to the loan
collateral account at a rate that is 2% less than the effective compound annual
loan interest rate charged on the loan.

Your contract does not allow for partial surrenders.

The required initial premium for an increase in stated amount is the greater of
$1000 or 75% of the guideline single premium for the stated amount of the
increase. All premium payments after the required initial premium for your
initial stated amount are termed subsequent premiums. If there is contract
indebtedness outstanding, subsequent premiums will be treated as loan repayments
until the indebtedness is eliminated. Otherwise, you may designate subsequent
premiums as additional premiums with respect to your existing stated amount or
as initial premiums for increases in your stated amount. Additional premiums
enhance the investment element of your contract and are not subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge; initial premiums for increases in stated
amount enhance the insurance element of your contract and are subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge.

You may not designate subsequent premiums as additional premiums if those
premiums would cause your contract to violate the Code's definition of life
insurance.

The surrender charge for Vari-Vest III contracts is charged in the event of full
surrender, lapse or decrease in stated amount during the first ten contract
years following the contract date and the date of any increase in stated amount.
The charge consists of a contingent deferred sales charge which, during the
contract year following an increase in stated amount, is 8% of the required
initial premium for the increase. Thereafter, the charge grades down to zero
over the applicable ten year period as follows: Year One: 8%; Year Two: 7.2%;
Year Three: 6.4%; Year Four: 5.6%; Year Five: 4.8%; Year Six: 4.0%; Year Seven:
3.2%; Year Eight: 2.4%; Year Nine: 1.6%; Year Ten: 0.8%. The contingent deferred
sales charge does not apply to premiums required to prevent lapse during the
contract's grace period, nor to reinstatement premiums.

The charge also includes a contingent deferred insurance charge if you:
surrender the contract in full, lapse or decrease your stated amount during the
first seven years it is in force or within seven years following an increase in
the stated amount. The contract reserves the right to charge 100% of the
surrender charge in each of seven successive years. Currently, we grade off the
surrender charge in accordance with the table shown in this prospectus with the
following changes: percentage of total charge in year 5 is 75%, in year 6 is 50%
and in year 7 is 25%.

The loan collateral account guaranteed interest rate is 5%. The general account
is also guaranteed to earn interest at an effective annual rate of 5%.

There is no death benefit guarantee.

At any time during the first 24 months after we issue any increase in stated
amount, you may convert your increase into a fixed benefit flexible premium life
insurance policy by transferring your cash value to the general account. Your
converted contract will have the same death benefit and the same amount at risk
as did the increase.

The premium expense charge contains only the state premium tax.

You will not be charged more than $25 for a special illustration of contract
benefits.

The monthly minimum premium will increase substantially after the death benefit
guarantee period (age 70 or ten years from the contract date, if later).

Your contract is subject to a new surrender charge as a result of an increase in
stated amount for only seven years.

To increase your stated amount, you must pay at least the required initial
premium for the increase. We will inform you of the amount of the required
initial premium for the increase requested and we must receive it by the
effective date of the increase.

You can decrease your stated amount after one year from the date of increase,
and there is no minimum stated amount.

The following sections of this prospectus do not apply to your contract: "Term
Insurance Conversion Credit"; and the second two paragraphs of "Transfers".

The guideline annual premium for your contract is based on maturity at age 95
and, in addition to the other factors described in this prospectus, a guaranteed
assumption of investment performance of 5%.

The monthly deduction for your contract includes only a $5 administrative charge
and the cost of additional insurance benefits provided by rider.

The cost of insurance is based on assumed interest at 5% per year and the death
benefit at the beginning of the contract month divided by 1.0040741.

In the event of a misstatement of the age or sex of the insured in an
application, the factor applied will be 1.0040741.

The following riders described in this prospectus are not available to you:
additional term, family plan, guaranteed purchase option, waiver of premium,
preferred loan, continuation of coverage, and accelerated death benefit. In
other words, only the accidental death rider is available.

Generally, any Vari-Vest III contract will constitute a modified endowment
contract ("MEC").

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ohio National Life Assurance
Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Ohio National Life Assurance
Corporation as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation (ONLAC or the Company) is a stock life
insurance company, wholly owned by The Ohio National Life Insurance Company
(ONLIC), a stock life insurance company. ONLAC is a life and health insurer
licensed in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Company
offers term life, universal life, disability and annuity products through
independent agents and other distribution channels and competes with 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 insolvencies through guaranty fund assessments may create
     costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the financial statements.
     The Company mitigates this risk by offering a wide range of products 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 the 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 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 Note 3).

     (a) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS AND RELATED GAINS AND LOSSES

        The Company is required to classify its fixed maturity securities as
        either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. 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 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. The adjustment
        to deferred policy acquisition costs represents the change in
        amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs that would have been
        required as a charge or credit to operations had such unrealized amounts
        been realized. The Company has no fixed maturity securities classified
        as trading.

        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 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.

        Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on
        the basis of specific security identification, net of associated
        deferred acquisition costs and capital gains expenses. 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 include those products with fixed
        and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of graded
        premium life and term life policies. Premiums for traditional
        non-participating 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 products include universal life, variable universal life
        and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies. Investment
        products consist primarily of individual immediate and deferred
        annuities. 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.

                   THE OHIO NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY)

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

                       DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, AND 1997
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

        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. Such anticipated premium revenue was
        estimated using the same assumptions as were used for computing
        liabilities 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 estimated future gross profits from projected
        interest margins, cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender
        charges. Deferred policy acquisition costs 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 statements of income and cash flows
        except for the fees the Company receives for administrative services and
        risks assumed.

     (e) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS

        Future policy benefits for traditional life policies 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 5).

        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 balances.

     (f) FEDERAL INCOME TAX

        ONLAC is included as part of the consolidated Federal income tax return
        of its ultimate parent, Ohio National Mutual Holdings, Inc. 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.

     (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) CASH EQUIVALENTS

        For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
        short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less
        to be cash equivalents.

     (i) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

        Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all non-owner
        changes in equity.

     (j) USE OF ESTIMATES

        In preparing the 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 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 deferred policy acquisition costs, the liability for future
        policy benefits and claims, contingencies, and the valuation allowance
        for mortgage loans on real estate. Although some variability is inherent
        in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are
        adequate.

(3) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
which differs from statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
regulatory authorities. Annual Statements for ONLAC filed with the Department of
Insurance of the State of Ohio, are prepared on a basis of accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by such regulatory authority. Prescribed statutory
accounting practices include a variety of publications of the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), as well as state laws,
regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed. The Company has
no material permitted statutory accounting practices.

The statutory basis capital and surplus of ONLAC as of December 31, 1999 and
1998 was $119,569 and $114,373, respectively. The statutory basis net income of
ONLAC for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 was $20,567,
$16,524, and $15,540, respectively.

Sales of fixed maturities available-for-sale in 1999 resulted in proceeds of
$29,040, with gross realized gain of $155 and gross realized losses of $1,140,
excluding calls. There were no sales of fixed maturities available-for-sale in
1998 and 1997. Investments with an amortized cost of $4,008 and $3,460 as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were on deposit with various
regulatory agencies as required by law. Realized gains on fixed maturities
held-to-maturity relate to calls.

The Company generally initiates foreclosure proceedings on all mortgage loans on
real estate delinquent sixty days. There were no foreclosures of mortgage loans
on real estate during 1999, and no foreclosures are in process as of December

(5) FUTURE POLICY BENEFIT AND CLAIMS

The liability for future policy benefits for universal life policies and
investment contracts (approximately 86% of the total liability for future policy
benefits as of December 31, 1999 and 1998) has been established based on the
aggregate account value without reduction for surrender charges. The average
interest rate to be credited on investment product policies was 6.3% and 5.6% as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The liability for future policy benefits for traditional life products are based
on the following mortality and interest rate assumptions without consideration
for withdrawals. The mortality table and interest assumptions used for the
majority of new policies are the 1980 CSO table with 4% to 5% interest. With
respect to older policies, the mortality table and interest assumptions used are
primarily the 1958 CSO table with 4% interest and the 1980 CSO table with 4%-6%
interest.

The liability for future policy benefits for individual accident and health
policies include liabilities for active lives, disabled lives and unearned
premiums. The liability for active lives are calculated on a two-year
preliminary term basis at 3% to 6% interest, using either the 1964
Commissioner's Disability Table (policies issued prior to 1990) or the 1985
Commissioner's Individual Disability Table A (policies issued after 1989). The
liability for disabled lives are calculated using either the 1985 Commissioner's
Individual Disability Table A at 5% to 5.5% interest (claims incurred after
1989) or the 1971 modification of the 1964 Commissioner's Disability Table, at
3.5% interest (claims incurred prior to 1990).

(6) FEDERAL INCOME TAX

In prior years, under superseded tax acts, the Company deferred income and
accumulated amounts into a 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 financial
statements. 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, 1999.

Total income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 were
allocated as follows:

The Company has determined that a deferred tax asset valuation allowance was not
needed as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. 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
deductible differences remaining at December 31, 1999.

(7) 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. 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.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures:

     Cash, Short-Term Investments, Policy Loans and Other Policyholder
     Funds -- The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet 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 duration of the
     investments.

     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 value
     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.

     Deferred and Immediate Annuities and 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.

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.

(12) CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a defendant 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.

OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT R

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



   Ohio National Variable Account R (the Account) is a separate account of The
   Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation (ONLAC). All obligations arising
   under variable life insurance contracts are general corporate obligations of
   ONLAC. ONLAC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Ohio National Life Insurance
   Company. The account has been registered as a unit investment trust under the
   Investment Company Act of 1940.



   Assets of the Account are invested in portfolio shares of Ohio National Fund,
   Inc., Janus Aspen Series, Strong Variable Insurance Funds, Inc., Goldman
   Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, and Lazard Retirement Funds (collectively the
   Funds). The Funds are diversified open-end management investment companies.
   The Funds' 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.



   Investments are valued at the net asset value of fund shares held at June 30,
   2000. Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income and capital
   gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized capital
   gains and losses are determined on the basis of average cost.



   ONLAC performs investment advisory services on behalf of the Ohio National
   Fund, Inc. in which the Account invests. For these services, the Company
   receives fees from the mutual funds. These fees are paid to an affiliate of
   the Company.



   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.

(4) RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE



   Although variable life payments differ according to the investment
   performance of the Accounts, they are not affected by mortality or expense
   experience because ONLAC assumes the expense risk and the mortality risk
   under the contracts. ONLAC charges the Accounts' assets for assuming those
   risks. Such charge will be assessed at a daily rate of 0.0020471% which
   corresponds to an annual rate of .75% of the contract value.


                                                                     (continued)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


(5) CONTRACT CHARGES



   Each premium payment is subject to a premium expense charge. The premium
   expense charge has two components: (a) Sales Load. Each contract is subject
   to a level sales load of all premiums paid of 4%. (b) State Premium Tax.
   Premium payments will be subject to the state premium tax and any other state
   or local taxes that currently range from 2% to 4%.



   Total premium expense charges in the Account amounted to approximately
   $000,000 during 2000.



   A surrender charge is assessed in connection with all complete surrenders,
   all decreases in stated amount and certain partial surrenders consisting of
   two components: (1) a contingent deferred sales charge, and (2) a contingent
   deferred insurance underwriting charge.



   The contingent deferred sales charge is a percentage of premiums paid in the
   first two contract years. The contingent deferred sales charge percentages
   are scaled by age at issue or increase. The contingent deferred insurance
   underwriting charge varies with age at issue or increase.



   A service charge is imposed on each transfer of cash values among the
   subaccounts. Currently, ONLAC is not assessing this charge on the first four
   transfers made in any contract year. For partial surrenders, a service fee is
   charged.



   ONLAC charges a monthly deduction from the contract value for the cost of
   insurance, a $5.00 or $7.00 record keeping and processing charge, a risk
   charge of $.01 per $1,000 of the stated amount for the risk associated with
   the death benefit guarantee, and the cost of additional insurance benefits
   provided by rider.



(6) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES



   Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of
   ONLAC 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 the 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.

OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT R

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Ohio National Variable Account R (the Account) is a separate account of The
   Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation (ONLAC). All obligations arising
   under variable life insurance contracts are general corporate obligations of
   ONLAC. ONLAC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Ohio National Life Insurance
   Company. The account has been registered as a unit investment trust under the
   Investment Company Act of 1940.

   Assets of the Account are invested in portfolio shares of Ohio National Fund,
   Inc., Janus Aspen Series, Strong Variable Insurance Funds, Inc., Goldman
   Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, and Lazard Retirement Funds (collectively the
   Funds). The Funds are diversified open-end management investment companies.
   The Funds' 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.

   Investments are valued at the net asset value of fund shares held at December
   31, 1999. Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income and
   capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized
   capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of average cost.

   ONLAC performs investment advisory services on behalf of the Ohio National
   Fund, Inc. in which the Account invests. For these services, the Company
   receives fees from the mutual funds. These fees are paid to an affiliate of
   the Company.

   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.

(4) RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

   Although variable life payments differ according to the investment
   performance of the Accounts, they are not affected by mortality or expense
   experience because ONLAC assumes the expense risk and the mortality risk
   under the contracts. ONLAC charges the Accounts' assets for assuming those
   risks. Such charge will be assessed at a daily rate of 0.0020471% which
   corresponds to an annual rate of .75% of the contract value.

                                                                     (continued)

(5) CONTRACT CHARGES


   Each premium payment is subject to a premium expense charge. The premium
   expense charge has two components: (a) Sales Load. Each contract is subject
   to a level sales load of all premiums paid of 4%. (b) State Premium Tax.
   Premium payments will be subject to the state premium tax and any other state
   or local taxes that currently range from 2% to 4%.

   Total premium expense charges in the Account amounted to approximately
   $1,630,880.00 during 1999.

   A surrender charge is assessed in connection with all complete surrenders,
   all decreases in stated amount and certain partial surrenders consisting of
   two components: (1) a contingent deferred sales charge, and (2) a contingent
   deferred insurance underwriting charge.

   The contingent deferred sales charge is a percentage of premiums paid in the
   first two contract years. The contingent deferred sales charge percentages
   are scaled by age at issue or increase. The contingent deferred insurance
   underwriting charge varies with age at issue or increase.

   A service charge is imposed on each transfer of cash values among the
   subaccounts. Currently, ONLAC is not assessing this charge on the first four
   transfers made in any contract year. For partial surrenders, a service fee is
   charged.

   ONLAC charges a monthly deduction from the contract value for the cost of
   insurance, a $5.00 or $7.00 record keeping and processing charge, a risk
   charge of $.01 per $1,000 of the stated amount for the risk associated with
   the death benefit guarantee, and the cost of additional insurance benefits
   provided by rider.


(6) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES


   Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of
   ONLAC 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 the 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.

                    ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH SURRENDER VALUES,
                    DEATH BENEFITS AND ACCUMULATED PREMIUMS.

The following tables help to show how contract values change with investment
performance. The tables illustrate how the death benefit of a contract of an
insured of a given age and the cash surrender value (reflecting the deduction of
sales load) would vary over time if the return on the assets held in the Funds
was a constant, gross, after-tax, annual rate of 0%, 6% or 12%. Because of
compounding, the death benefits and cash surrender values would be different
from those shown if the returns averaged 0%, 6%, or 12%, but fluctuated over and
under those averages throughout the years.


The amounts shown for the death benefit and cash surrender value as of each
contract year show that the net investment return on the assets held in the
subaccounts is lower than the gross, after-tax returns on Fund assets. This is
because certain fees and charges are deducted from the gross return. They are
the daily investment management fees incurred by the Funds. These are currently
equivalent to an average annual rate of 1.79% of the value of the average daily
net assets of the Funds to which contract values may be allocated. The daily
charge to VAR for assuming mortality and expense risks is equivalent to an
annual charge of 0.75%. Certain other fees and miscellaneous expenses borne by
the Funds are currently equivalent to an annual rate of 1.04% of average daily
net assets. Gross annual rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% produce average net
annual rates of return for all Funds of approximately -1.79%, 4.21%, and 10.21%.


Each page of illustrations includes two tables. The top table shows the death
benefits and cash surrender values assuming we assess current contract charges
("current tables"). Current charges are not guaranteed and may be changed. The
lower table shows the death benefits and cash surrender values assuming we
assess the maximum contract charges allowable.

The tables assume a premium tax deduction of 2.5% (the charge deducted from your
contract will reflect premium taxes in your jurisdiction), that no portion of
your net premiums have been allocated to the general account and that planned
premiums are paid on the first day of each contract year. The tables also assume
that you have made no transfers, partial surrenders, loans, changes in death
benefit option or changes in stated amount. Additionally, the tables assume that
there are no optional insurance benefits and the current tables assume that our
current cost of insurance charges will not be changed. Finally, the tables
reflect the fact that no charges for federal, state or local taxes are made now
against VAR. If such a charge is made in the future, it will take a higher gross
rate of return to produce after-tax returns of 0%, 6% and 12% than it does now.

Below is a list of the sample illustrations presented on the following pages of
this prospectus. Upon request, we will furnish a comparable illustration based
on your age, sex, risk class, death benefit plan, stated amount and planned
premium.

HYPOTHETICAL HISTORICAL ILLUSTRATIONS

We may produce hypothetical illustrations of the contract (such as those listed
above) based upon the actual historical investment performance (total return) of
the Funds from the inception of each Fund or one-, five- and ten-year periods.
Such illustrations reflect all contract and subsequent charges, including the
cost of insurance (specific to the age, sex, stated amount, risk classification
and type of death benefit), planned premium, premium tax, risk charge, sales
load, administration charge and surrender charge for the contract being
illustrated. We will also provide individualized illustrations upon request.
Being based upon past performance, neither hypothetical illustrations nor other
performance data indicate future performance.

The hypothetical gross annual investment results shown above are illustrative
only and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment
results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including allocations made by the owner among the
investment options and the actual investment results of those options. The cash
surrender value and death benefit for a policy would be different from those
shown even if the actual rates of investment averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual
contract years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical
investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year or sustained over
any period of time. This illustration assumes current cost of insurance and
expense charges remain unchanged.

The hypothetical gross annual investment results shown above are illustrative
only and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment
results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including allocations made by the owner among the
investment options and the actual investment results of those options. The cash
surrender value and death benefit for a policy would be different from those
shown even if the actual rates of investment averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual
contract years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical
investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year or sustained over
any period of time. This illustration assumes current cost of insurance and
expense charges remain unchanged.

The hypothetical gross annual investment results shown above are illustrative
only and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment
results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including allocations made by the owner among the
investment options and the actual investment results of those options. The cash
surrender value and death benefit for a policy would be different from those
shown even if the actual rates of investment averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual
contract years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical
investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year or sustained over
any period of time. This illustration assumes current cost of insurance and
expense charges remain unchanged.

The hypothetical gross annual investment results shown above are illustrative
only and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment
results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including allocations made by the owner among the
investment options and the actual investment results of those options. The cash
surrender value and death benefit for a policy would be different from those
shown even if the actual rates of investment averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual
contract years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical
investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year or sustained over
any period of time. This illustration assumes current cost of insurance and
expense charges remain unchanged.

The hypothetical gross annual investment results shown above are illustrative
only and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment
results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including allocations made by the owner among the
investment options and the actual investment results of those options. The cash
surrender value and death benefit for a policy would be different from those
shown even if the actual rates of investment averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual
contract years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical
investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year or sustained over
any period of time. This illustration assumes current cost of insurance and
expense charges remain unchanged.

The hypothetical gross annual investment results shown above are illustrative
only and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment
results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including allocations made by the owner among the
investment options and the actual investment results of those options. The cash
surrender value and death benefit for a policy would be different from those
shown even if the actual rates of investment averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual
contract years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical
investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year or sustained over
any period of time. This illustration assumes current cost of insurance and
expense charges remain unchanged.
