FLEXIBLE PREMIUM One Ameritas Way/5900 "O" Street
VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE P.O. Box 82550/Lincoln, NE 68501
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Prospectus describes a flexible premium variable universal life insurance
policy ("Policy") offered by Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company ("AVLIC"),
a stock life insurance company. The Policy is designed to provide insurance
protection until the Policy Anniversary nearest the Insured's 95th birthday and
at the same time provide flexibility to vary the frequency and amount of premium
payments and to increase or decrease the level of death benefits payable under
the Policy. This flexibility allows a Policyowner to provide for changing
insurance needs under a single insurance policy.
The Policy guarantees the Death Benefit as long as the Policy remains in force.
The Policyowner may choose death benefit Option A (generally, a level benefit
that equals the Specified Amount of the Policy) or Option B (a variable benefit
that generally equals the Specified Amount plus the Policy's accumulation
value). The specified amount for a policy is generally $100,000, lower specified
amounts may be requested. The Policy provides for a surrender value that can be
obtained through partial withdrawals, surrender of the Policy, or through policy
loans. There is no minimum guaranteed accumulation value. AVLIC agrees to keep
the Policy in force during the first three years and provide a Guaranteed Death
Benefit during that time, so long as the cumulative pro rata monthly minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium is paid even though, in certain instances, the
minimum payments allowed by the contract will not generate positive surrender
values, after payment of insurance and other charges, during the first several
policy months. AVLIC also offers an Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider
which extends this benefit for 10 years and up to 30 years, depending on the age
of the Insured.
The Policyowner has the right to examine the Policy and return it for a refund
for a limited time (see page 22). The initial premium payment will be allocated
to the Money Market portfolio of the Variable Insurance Products Fund, as of the
issue date, for 13 days. After the 13-day period (see page 23), the accumulation
value will be allocated to the Subaccounts of AVLIC Separate Account V
("Account") or the Fixed Account as selected by the Policyowner. The
accumulation value, the duration of the death benefit and, if Option B is
selected, the amount of the death benefit above the Specified Amount, will vary
with the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts or the Fixed Account.
The accumulation value will also be adjusted for other factors, including the
amount of charges imposed and the premium payments made. The Policy will
continue in force so long as the surrender value is sufficient to pay certain
monthly charges imposed in connection with the Policy. This Policy may also be
acquired in exchange for another policy (Form #4002) previously offered by AVLIC
(See Exchange Offer, page 31).
The assets of each Subaccount are invested in shares of a corresponding
portfolio of the Variable Insurance Products Fund, the Variable Insurance
Products Fund II, the Alger American Fund, and/or the MFS Variable Insurance
Trust. (collectively the "Funds"). The Variable Insurance Products Fund is a
mutual fund with five portfolios: Money Market, High Income, Equity-Income,
Growth and Overseas Portfolios. The Variable Insurance Products Fund II is a
mutual fund with five portfolios: the Asset Manager, Investment Grade Bond,
Index 500, Contrafund, and Asset Manager: Growth Portfolios. The Alger American
Fund is a mutual fund with six portfolios,: Alger American Income and Growth,
Alger American MidCap Growth, Alger American Small Capitalization, Alger
American Balanced, Alger American Leveraged AllCap, and Alger American Growth
Portfolios. MFS Variable Insurance Trust is a Massachusetts business trust. The
Trust has twelve separate portfolios or series, of which, MFS Emerging Growth
Series, MFS Utilities Series, and MFS World Governments Series are offered. The
accompanying prospectuses for the various funds describe the investment
objectives and policies and the risks of each of the portfolios of the Funds.
The investment gains or losses of the monies placed in the various portfolio
Subaccounts will be experienced by the policyowner.
Replacing existing insurance with a Policy or purchasing a Policy as a means to
obtain additional insurance protection if the purchaser already owns another
flexible premium variable life insurance policy may not be advantageous.
This Prospectus Must Be Accompanied or Preceded By Current Prospectuses For
Variable Insurance Products Fund, Variable Insurance Products Fund II, Alger
American Fund, and MFS Variable Insurance Trust
These securities are not deposits with, or obligations of, or guaranteed or
endorsed by, any financial institution; and the securities are not insured by

other agency. These securities involve investment risk, including the possible
loss of principal.

EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR BY ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAS
THE COMMISSION, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY, PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

THE ISSUER
The Policy is issued by Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company ("AVLIC"), a
Nebraska stock life insurance company. A separate account of AVLIC, Separate
Account V ("Account"), has been established to hold the assets supporting the
Policy. The Account has nineteen Subaccounts which correspond to, and are
invested in, the portfolios of the Funds discussed at page 9 herein. (See
Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company and the Account, page 9, and The Funds,
page 9). The financial statements for AVLIC and the Account can be found
beginning on page 37.
THE POLICY
This flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy ("Policy") allows
the Policyowner, within limitations, to choose: (a) the amount and frequency of
premium payments; (b) the manner in which the Policyowners accumulation values
are invested; and (c) a choice of two death benefit options unless the Extended
Maturity Rider is in effect.
As long as the Policy remains in force, it will provide for: (1) life insurance
coverage on the Insured up to age 95; (2) an accumulation value; (3) surrender
rights (including partial withdrawals and total surrenders); (4) policy loan
privileges; and (5) a variety of optional benefits and riders that may be added
to the Policy for an additional charge or without charge if certain minimum
premiums are paid.
PREMIUMS
This Policy differs in two important respects from a conventional life insurance
policy. First, the failure to pay a planned periodic premium will not in itself
cause the Policy to lapse.
Second, a Policy can lapse even if planned periodic premiums have been paid
unless the Guaranteed Death Benefit and/or the Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit
Premium requirements have been met. (See Payment and Allocation of Premiums,
page 23).
AMOUNTS. An initial premium of at least 1/12 of the first year Guaranteed Death
Benefit Premium, charges for riders and any substandard risk adjustment times
the number of months between the policy date and issue date, plus one, must be
paid in order to put the Policy in force. After the initial premium is paid,
unscheduled premiums may be paid in any amount and at any frequency, subject
only to the maximum and minimum limitations set by AVLIC and the maximum
limitations set by Federal Income Tax Law. A Policyowner may also choose a
planned periodic premium which may include the minimum cumulative premiums
necessary to keep in force the Guaranteed Death Benefit provision and the
Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider.
A Policy will lapse when the surrender value is insufficient to pay the monthly
deduction unless the Guaranteed or Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders are
in effect. A period of 61 days from the date written notice of lapse is mailed
to the Policyowner's last known address will be allowed for the Policyowner to
make sufficient payment to keep the Policy in force for the Policyowner (grace
period).
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS.
The Policyowner may select the manner in which the new premiums are allocated
between the Fixed Account (See Fixed Account, page 15) and to one or more of the
Subaccounts.
Net premiums, which equal the premiums paid less the premium charges, are first
allocated for 13 days, as of the issue date, to the Subaccount for the Money
Market Portfolio of the Variable Insurance Products Fund. After the expiration
of the refund period, the accumulation value will be allocated as selected by
the Policyowner. The Policyowner may change the allocation instructions for
premiums and may also make a special designation for unscheduled premiums.
Subject to certain charges and restrictions, a Policyowner may also transfer
amounts among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. (See Allocation of Premiums
and Accumulation Value, page 24).
The various subaccounts available invest in a corresponding portfolio of the
Funds. Variable Insurance Products Fund ("Fidelity Fund") has five portfolios:
the Money Market, High Income, Equity-Income, Growth, and the Overseas
Portfolios. Variable Insurance Products Fund II ("Fidelity Fund II") has five
portfolios: the Asset Manager, Investment Grade Bond, Index 500, Contrafund and
Asset Manager: Growth Portfolios. (Fidelity Fund and Fidelity Fund II may be
collectively referred to as the "Fidelity Funds"). The Alger American Fund
("Alger American Fund") has six portfolios: Alger American Income and Growth
("Income and Growth"), Alger American Small Capitalization ("Small-Cap"), Alger
American MidCap Growth ("MidCap"), Alger American Growth ("Alger American
Growth"), Alger American Leveraged AllCap
<PAGE>
("Leveraged AllCap") and Alger American Balanced ("Balanced") portfolios. MFS
Variable Insurance Trust ("MFS Fund" or "MFS") has twelve separate portfolios or
series, of which, MFS Emerging Growth Series, MFS Utiltities Series, and MFS
World Governments Series are offered. A summary of the investment objectives for
these portfolios is set forth at page 10 of this Prospectus, and detailed
objectives of these portfolios are described in the accompanying prospectuses
for the Funds. There is no assurance that these objectives will be met. The
Policyowner bears the entire investment risk for amounts allocated to the
Subaccounts.
POLICY BENEFITS
The rights and benefits under the Policy are summarized in this prospectus;
however prospectus disclosure regarding the policy is qualified in its entirety
by the policy itself, a copy of which is available upon request from AVLIC.
DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS AND DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS. While the Policy remains in
force, AVLIC will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary upon receipt of Proof
of Death of the Insured. These proceeds may be paid in a lump sum or in
accordance with an optional payment plan.
The Policy provides for two death benefit options unless the Extended Maturity
Rider is in effect. Under either option, so long as the Policy remains in force,
the death benefit will not be less than the current Specified Amount of the
Policy adjusted for any policy indebtedness. The death benefit may, however,
exceed the Specified Amount, depending upon the investment experience of the
Policy. Death Benefit Option A provides for a level benefit equal to the current
Specified Amount of the Policy, unless the accumulation value of the Policy on
the date of the Insured's death multiplied by the applicable percentage set
forth in the Policy is greater, in which case the death benefit is equal to that
larger amount. Death Benefit Option B provides for a variable benefit equal to
the current Specified Amount of the Policy plus the Policy's accumulation value
on the date of the Insured's death, or if greater, the accumulation value of the
Policy on the date of the Insured's death multiplied by the applicable
percentage set forth in the Policy. (See Death Benefit Options, page 16)
If the Extended Maturity Rider is in effect, the Death Benefit will be the
Accumulation Value.
Optional insurance benefits offered under the Policy include: Guaranteed Death
Benefit provision; Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit rider; Accelerated Living
Benefits Rider for Terminal Illness; Accidental Death Benefit rider; Covered
Insured rider; Disability Benefit rider; Guaranteed Insurability rider; Payor
Disability rider; and Children's Protection rider. (See Additional Insurance
Benefits, page 29). These riders are not all available in every state. The cost,
if any, of these additional insurance benefits will be deducted from the
Policy's accumulation value as a part of the monthly deduction. The Guaranteed
Death Benefit and Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit provisions are provided
without cost but require the described premium payments.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY.
On the maturity date of the Policy, if the Insured is still living, the
Policyowner will be paid the accumulation value of the Policy less any
outstanding policy debt and accrued interest charges.
ACCUMULATION VALUE BENEFITS
The Policy's accumulation value in the Account will reflect the amount and
frequency of premium payments, the investment experience of the chosen
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account, policy loans, any partial withdrawals, and
any charges imposed in connection with the Policy. The entire investment risk of
the Account is borne by the Policyowner. AVLIC does not guarantee a minimum
accumulation value in the Account. (See Accumulation Value, page 19). It does
guarantee the Fixed Account.
The Policyowner may surrender the Policy at any time and receive its surrender
value. Subject to certain limitations, the Policyowner may also make a partial
withdrawal from the Policy and obtain a portion of the surrender value at any
time prior to the maturity date. Partial withdrawals will reduce both the
accumulation value and the death benefit payable under the Policy. (See Partial
Withdrawals, page 21). A charge will be deducted from the amount paid upon
partial withdrawal. (See Partial Withdrawal Charge, page 28).
POLICY LOANS. Policy loans, secured by the accumulation value of the Policy, are
available. After the first policy anniversary, the Policyowner may obtain a loan
at "regular" loan interest rates, which shall not exceed 8% annually.
After the later of age 55 or the tenth policy anniversary, the Policyowner can
borrow against a limited amount of the accumulation value of the Policy at a
"reduced" interest rate, which reduced rate is currently 4.5% and shall not
exceed 5% annually ("reduced rate loan"). While the loan is outstanding, the
Policyowner earns 4.5% interest on the accumulation values securing the loans.
(For details concerning policy loan provisions, see page 20).
Policy loans may have tax consequences and will affect earnings and policy
accumulation values. Should the policy lapse while loans are outstanding the
portion of the loans attributable to earnings will become taxable distributions.
Should the Policy become a modified endowment contract, loans (including loans
to pay loan interest) will be taxable to the extent of any gain under the
Policy. Further, a 10% penalty tax also applies to the taxable portion of any
distribution prior to the Insured's age 59 1/2. (See Federal Tax Matters, page
32).
<PAGE>
CHARGES
SALES AND PREMIUM TAX CHARGES Generally, a sales charge of 5% of each premium
will be deducted to compensate AVLIC for its expenses associated with
distributing the Policy and a premium tax charge of 2.5% of each premium will be
deducted from each premium before placing any amount in a Subaccount or the
Fixed Account. (See Deductions From Premium Payments, page 25).
MONTHLY CHARGES AGAINST THE ACCUMULATION VALUE.
a) A monthly maintenance charge of up to $9.00 [currently AVLIC is charging
$9.00 per month ($108.00 per year) during the first policy year and $4.50 per
month ($54.00 per year) thereafter], to compensate AVLIC for the continuing
administrative costs of the Policy, plus
b) A monthly charge for the cost of insurance including the cost for any
riders. (See Charges from Accumulation Value, page 26).
SURRENDER CHARGE. If a Policy is surrendered prior to the 15th anniversary date,
AVLIC will assess a surrender charge consisting of the Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge ("DSC") and the Contingent Deferred Administrative Charge ("DAC"). After
the fifth Policy Year, the surrender charge decreases each year until no
surrender charge is applied after the fifteenth Policy Year. (See Surrender
Charge, page 27).
The DSC is equal to 25% of the premiums received in the first two Policy Years
up to the Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium plus 5% of the premiums received in
those years in excess of the Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium. In no event shall
the surrender charge exceed $12.00 for every $1000.00 of insurance obtained
under the Policy.
The DAC is an amount per $1,000 of insurance that varies by issue age and sex.
(See Contingent Deferred Administrative Charges, page 27).
TRANSFER CHARGE. Fifteen transfers of accumulation value per policy year will be
permitted free of charge. A $10 administrative charge may be assessed for each
additional transfer. The transfer charge will be deducted from the amount
transferred. (See Transfer Charge, page 27).
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. A maximum charge, not to exceed the lesser of $50 or
2% of the amount withdrawn may be deducted for each partial withdrawal.
(Currently, the charge is the lesser of $25 or 2%). The charge will be deducted
from the amount paid as a result of the withdrawal and will compensate AVLIC for
the administrative costs of partial withdrawals. No surrender charge is assessed
on a partial withdrawal and a partial withdrawal charge is not assessed when a
Policy is surrendered. (See Partial Withdrawal Charge, page 28).
DAILY CHARGES AGAINST THE ACCOUNT. A daily charge at an annual rate not to
exceed .90% (currently .90% for policy years 1-20 and .65% thereafter) of the
average daily net assets of each Subaccount, but not the Fixed Account. (See
Daily Charges Against the Account, page 28).
No charges are currently made against the Account for federal, state or local
taxes (which are charged in addition to state premium taxes). If there is a
material change from the expected treatment of AVLIC under federal, state or
local tax laws, AVLIC may determine to make deductions from the Account to pay
those taxes. (See Taxes, page 28).
In addition, because the Account purchases shares of the Funds, the value of the
units in each Subaccount will reflect the net asset value of shares of the
various Funds held therein, and therefore, the management fee and other expenses
incurred by the Funds. (See The Funds, page 10).
TAX TREATMENT OF THE POLICY
Like death benefits payable under conventional life insurance policies, life
insurance proceeds payable under the Policy are excludable from the taxable
income of the Beneficiary. Should the Policy be deemed a modified endowment
contract (see Federal Tax Matters-Tax Status of the Policy, page 32), partial or
full surrenders, assignments, policy pledges, and loans under the Policy will be
taxable to the Policyowner to the extent of any gain under the Policy.
Generally, a 10% penalty tax also applies to the taxable portion of any
distribution prior to the Insured reaching age 59 1/2. (For further detail
regarding taxation, see Federal Tax Matters, page 32).
REFUND PRIVILEGE
The Policyowner is granted a period of time (a "free look period") to examine a
Policy and return it for a refund. The Policyowner may cancel the Policy within
45 days after Part I of the application is signed, within 10 days after the
Policyowner receives the Policy, or 10 days after AVLIC delivers a notice
concerning cancellation, whichever is later. The amount of the refund is the
greater of the premiums paid or the premium paid adjusted by investment gains
and losses. (See Refund Privilege, page 22).
<PAGE>
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
During the first 24 months after the policy date of the Policy, subject to
certain restrictions, the Policyowner may exchange the Policy for a flexible
premium adjustable life insurance policy issued and made available for exchange
by AVLIC or Ameritas Life. The policy provisions and applicable charges for the
new Policy will be based on the same policy date and issue age as under the
Policy. (See Exchange Privilege, page 22).
EXCHANGE OFFER
On June 13, 1990, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a request from
AVLIC and the Account that they be permitted to offer to exchange the Policy for
a life insurance policy previously issued by AVLIC. That exchange offer
continues as of the date of this Prospectus. (For additional details concerning
the exchange offer, see Exchange Offer, page 31).
AVLIC AND THE ACCOUNT
AMERITAS VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company ("AVLIC") is a stock life insurance
company organized in the State of Nebraska. AVLIC was incorporated on June 22,
1983 and commenced business December 29, 1983. AVLIC is currently licensed to
sell life insurance in 46 states, and the District of Columbia. AVLIC's
financial statements may be found at page 48.
AVLIC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameritas Life. Ameritas Life is a mutual
life insurance company domiciled in Nebraska since 1887. The Home Offices of
both AVLIC and Ameritas Life are at One Ameritas Way, 5900 "0" Street, Lincoln,
Nebraska 68501. Ameritas Life and subsidiaries had total assets at December 31,
1995 of over $2.4 billion. AVLIC, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameritas Life,
has a rating of A+ (Superior) from A.M. Best Company, a firm that analyzes
insurance carriers. Ameritas Life enjoys a long standing A+ (Superior) rating
from A.M. Best. Ameritas Life also has an AA ("Excellent") rating from Standard
& Poor's for claims paying ability. Ameritas Life guarantees the obligations of
AVLIC. This guarantee will continue until AVLIC is recognized by a National
Rating Agency as having a financial rating equal to or greater than Ameritas
Life, or until AVLIC is acquired by another insurance company who has a
financial rating by a National Rating Agency equal to or greater than Ameritas
Life and who agrees to assume the guarantee.
AVLIC voted to approve a Merger Agreement with Ameritas Life ("Agreement") at
its December 5, 1994, board meeting. The merger was scheduled to occur on May 1,
1995, or such later date as the required regulatory approvals could be obtained.
On March 31, 1995, the company determined to postpone the merger to evaluate its
options in light of the present regulatory climate. On February 27, 1996, AVLIC
determined to postpone the merger indefinitely.
Ameritas Investment Corp., the principal underwriter of the policies may publish
in advertisements and reports to Policyowners, the ratings and other information
assigned to Ameritas Life and AVLIC by one or more independent rating services
and charts and other information concerning dollar cost averaging, portfolio
rebalancing, earnings sweep, tax-deference and other investment methods. The
purpose of the ratings are to reflect the financial strength and/or
claims-paying ability of AVLIC. The ratings do not relate to the performance of
the separate account.
AMERITAS VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT V
Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company Separate Account V ("the Account") was
established under Nebraska law on August 28, 1985. The assets of the Account are
held by AVLIC segregated from all of AVLIC's other assets, are not chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business which AVLIC may conduct, and
income, gains, or losses of AVLIC. Although the assets maintained in the Account
will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of AVLIC's other business,
all obligations arising under the Policies are liabilities of AVLIC who will
maintain assets in the Account of a total market value at least equal to the
reserve and other contract liabilities of the Account. The Account will at all
times contain assets equal to or greater than account values invested in the
separate account. Nevertheless, to the extent assets in the Account exceed
AVLIC's liabilities in the Account, the assets are available to cover the
liabilities of AVLIC's General Account. AVLIC may, from time to time, withdraw
assets available to cover the General Account obligations.
The Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment
trust, which is a type of investment company. This does not involve any SEC
supervision of the management or investment policies or practices of the
Account. For state law purposes, the Account is treated as a Division of AVLIC.
<PAGE>
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance information for the Subaccounts of the Account and the funds
available for investment by the Account may appear in advertisements, sales
literature, or reports to Policyowners or prospective purchasers. Performance
information for the Subaccounts will reflect deductions of fund expenses and be
adjusted to reflect the mortality and expense risk charge. We may also provide a
hypothetical illustration of Accumulation Value, Cash Surrender Value and Death
Benefit based on historical investment returns of the Funds for a sample insured
based on assumptions as to age, sex, and other policy specific assumptions.
We may also provide individualized hypothetical illustrations of Accumulation
Value, Cash Surrender Value and Death Benefit based on historical investment
returns of the Funds. These illustrations will reflect deductions for fund
expenses and Policy and Account charges, including the Monthly Deduction,
Premium Payment Deductions, and the Surrender Charge. These hypothetical
illustrations will be based on the actual historical experience of the funds as
if the Subaccounts had been in existence and a Policy issued for the same
periods as those indicated for the funds.
THE FUNDS
There are currently nineteen Subaccounts within the Account available to
Policyowners for new allocations. Each Subaccount of the Account will invest
only in the shares of a corresponding portfolio of the Fidelity Fund, the
Fidelity Fund II, the Alger American Fund, or the MFS Fund (collectively the
"Funds"). Each fund is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end
management investment company.
As of May 1, 1996, The Dreyfus Stock Index Fund is no longer an investment
option under the contract. Funds allocated to the Dreyfus Stock Index Fund as of
April 30, 1996 may remain invested in that portfolio. If transferred out of the
Dreyfus Stock Index portfolio, however, reinvestment into that portfolio will
not be an option. AVLIC eventually intends to file an application with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to substitute the shares of another portfolio
for shares of the Dreyfus Stock Index Fund.
The assets of each portfolio of the Funds are held separate from the assets of
the other portfolios. Thus, each portfolio operates as a separate investment
portfolio, and the income or losses of one portfolio generally have no effect on
the investment performance of any other portfolio.
The investment objectives and policies of each portfolio are summarized below.
There is no assurance that any of the portfolios will achieve their stated
objectives. More detailed information, including a description of investment
objectives, policies, restrictions, expenses and risks, is in the prospectuses
for each of the Funds, which must accompany or precede this Prospectus. All
underlying fund information, including Fund prospectuses, has been provided to
AVLIC by the underlying Funds. AVLIC has not independently verified this
information. One or more of the Portfolios may employ investment techniques that
involve certain risks, including investing in non-investment grade, high risk
debt securities, entering into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase
agreements, lending portfolio securities, engaging in "short sales against the
box," investing in instruments issued by foreign banks, entering into firm
commitment agreements and investing in warrants and restricted securities. The
Alger American Leveraged AllCap Portfolio may employ "leverage" by borrowing
money to increase its portfolio of securities, and may purchase or sell options
and enter into futures contracts on securities indexes to increase gain or to
hedge the value of the Portfolio. The High Income, Equity- Income, Asset
Manager, and Asset Manager: Growth Portfolios may invest in non-investment
grade, high risk debt securities. These Prospectuses should be read carefully
together with this Prospectus and retained.
Each Policyowner should periodically consider the allocation among the
Subaccounts in light of current market conditions and the investment risks
attendant to investing in the Funds' various portfolios.
The Account will purchase and redeem shares from the Funds at net asset value.
Shares will be redeemed to the extent necessary for AVLIC to collect charges,
pay the surrender values, partial withdrawals, and make policy loans or to
transfer assets from one Subaccount to another, or to the Fixed Account, as
requested by Policyowners. Any dividend or capital gain distribution received
from a portfolio of the Funds will be reinvested immediately at net asset value
in shares of that portfolio and retained as assets of the corresponding
Subaccount.
Since the Fidelity Fund, The Fidelity Fund II, the Alger American Fund, and the
MFS Fund are each designed to provide investment vehicles for variable annuity
and variable life insurance contracts of various insurance companies and will be
sold to separate accounts of other insurance companies as investment vehicles
for various types of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity
contracts, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the
interests of the Account and one or more of the separate accounts of another
participating insurance company. In the event of a material conflict, the
affected insurance companies agree to take any necessary steps, including
removing its separate accounts from the Funds, to resolve the matter. The risks
of such mixed and shared funding are described further in the prospectuses of
the Funds.

Funds. Each portfolio pays FMR a monthly fee for managing its investment and
business affairs.
Fred Alger Management Inc. ("Alger Management") serves as the Alger American
Fund investment manager. Each portfolio pays Alger Management a separate fee
computed daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon a percentage of the
value of the relevant portfolio's daily net assets.
Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS Co."), a Delaware Corporation, is
the investment adviser to each series of the MFS Variable Insurance Trust.

(1) A portion of the brokerage commissions the fund paid was used to reduce
its expenses. Without this reduction total operating expenses would have
been (for High Income: 0.71% (please note there were brokerage
commissions paid, but it did not affect the ratio); for Asset Manager
0.81%; for Asset Manager:

(2) The fund's expenses were voluntarily reduced by the fund's investment
adviser. Absent reimbursement, management fee, other expenses, and total
expenses would have been (Index 500 Portfolio) 0.28%, 0.19% and 0.47%,
respectively; and (Asset Manager: Growth) 0.71%, 0.42% and 1.13%,
respectively.
(3) Alger Management has agreed to reimburse the portfolios to the extent
that the annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, fees for
brokerage services and extraordinary expenses) exceed respectively; Alger
American Income and Growth, and Alger American Balanced, 1.25%; Alger
American Small-Cap, Alger American MidCap, Alger American Leveraged All
Cap, and the Alger American Growth, 1.50%. As long as the expense
limitations continue for a portfolio, if a reimbursement occurs, it has
the effect of lowering
the portfolio's expense ratio and increasing its total return.
(4) MFS Co. has agreed to bear, subject to reimbursement, expenses for each
of the Emerging Growth Series and the Utilities Series such that each
Series' aggregate operating expenses shall not exceed, on an annualized
basis, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Series from November
2, 1994 through December 31, 1996, provided however, that this obligation
may be terminated or revised at any time. Absent this expense
arrangement, "Other Expenses" and "Total Operating Expenses" would be
2.16% and 2.91%, respectively, for the Emerging Growth Series and 2.33%
and 3.08%, respectively, for the Utilities Series.
(5) MFS Co. has agreed to bear, subject to reimbursement, expenses of the
World Governments Series such that the Series' aggregate operating
expenses do not exceed 1.00%, on an annualized basis, of its average
daily net assets. Absent this expense arrangement, "Other Expenses" and
"Total Operating Expenses" for the World Governments Series would be
1.24% and 1.99%, respectively.
ADDITION, DELETION OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
AVLIC reserves the right, subject to applicable law, and, if necessary, after
notice to and prior approval from the SEC and/or state insurance authorities to
make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares that are held
in the Account or that the Account may purchase. The Account may, to the extent
permitted by law, purchase other securities for other contracts or permit a
conversion between contracts upon request by the Policyowners.
AVLIC may, in its sole discretion, also establish additional Subaccounts of the
Account, each of which would invest in shares corresponding to a new portfolio
of the Funds or in shares of another investment company having a specified
investment objective. AVLIC may, in its sole discretion, establish new
Subaccounts or eliminate one or more Subaccounts if marketing needs, tax
considerations or investment conditions warrant. Any new Subaccounts may be made
available to existing Policyowners on a basis to be determined by AVLIC.
If any of these substitutions or changes are made, AVLIC may by appropriate
endorsement change the Policy to reflect the substitution or change. If AVLIC
deems it to be in the best interest of Policyowners, and subject to any
approvals that may be required under applicable law, the Account may be operated
as a management company under the 1940 Act, it may be deregistered under that
Act if registration is no longer required, or it may be combined with other
AVLIC separate accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, AVLIC may
also transfer the assets of the Account associated with the Policies to another
separate account. In addition, AVLIC may, when permitted by law, restrict or
eliminate any voting rights of Policyowners or other persons who have voting
rights as to the Account.
The Policyowner will be notified of any material change in the investment policy
of any portfolio in which the Policyowner has an interest.
FIXED ACCOUNT
Policyowners may elect to allocate all or a portion of their premium payments to
the Fixed Account, and they may also transfer monies between the Account and the
Fixed Account. (See Transfers, page 22).
Payments allocated to the Fixed Account and transferred from the Account to the
Fixed Account are placed in the General Account of AVLIC, which supports
insurance and annuity obligations. The General Account includes all of AVLIC's
assets, except those assets segregated in the separate accounts. AVLIC has the
sole discretion to invest the assets of the General Account, subject to
applicable law. AVLIC bears an investment risk for all amounts allocated or
transferred to the Fixed Account and interest credited thereto, less any
deduction for charges and expenses, whereas the Policyowner bears the investment
risk that the declared rate described below, will fall to a
<PAGE>
lower rate after the expiration of a declared rate period. Because of exemptive
and exclusionary provisions, interests in the General Account have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") nor is the General
Account registered as an investment company under "the Investment Company Act of
1940". Accordingly, neither the General Account nor any interest therein is
generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Act. We understand that
the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this Prospectus
relating to the Fixed Account portion of the Policy; however, disclosures
regarding the Fixed Account portion of the Policy may be subject to generally
applicable provisions of the Federal Securities Laws regarding the accuracy and
completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
AVLIC guarantees that it will credit interest at an effective annual rate of at
least 4.5%. AVLIC may, at its discretion, declare higher interest rate(s) for
amounts allocated or transferred to the General Account ("Declared Rate(s)").
Each month AVLIC will establish the declared rate from the monies transferred or
allocated to the Fixed Account that month. The Policyowner will earn interest on
the amount transferred or allocated at the rate declared for a 12-month period
effective the month of transfer or allocation. After the end of the 12-month
period, the monies will earn interest at the rate established by AVLIC for each
month.
POLICY BENEFITS
The rights and benefits under the Policy are summarized in this prospectus;
however prospectus disclosure regarding the policy is qualified in its entirety
by the policy itself, a copy of which is available upon request from AVLIC.
PURPOSES OF THE POLICY
The Policy is designed to provide the Policyowner with both lifetime insurance
protection to the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 95th birthday and
flexibility in connection with the amount and frequency of premium payments and
with the level of life insurance proceeds payable under the Policy.
The Policyowner is not required to pay scheduled premiums to keep a Policy in
force, but may, subject to certain limitations, vary the frequency and amount of
premium payments. Moreover, the Policy allows a Policyowner to adjust the level
of death benefits payable under the Policy without having to purchase a new
Policy by increasing (with evidence of insurability) or decreasing the Specified
Amount. An increase in the Specified Amount will increase the Guaranteed Death
Benefit and the Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit premium required. Thus, as
insurance needs or financial conditions change, the Policyowner has the
flexibility to adjust life insurance benefits and vary premium payments.
The death benefit may, and the accumulation value will, vary with the investment
experience of the chosen Subaccounts of the Account. Thus the Policyowner
benefits from any appreciation in value of the underlying assets, but bears the
investment risk of any depreciation in value. As a result, whether or not a
Policy continues in force may depend in part upon the investment experience of
the chosen Subaccounts. The failure to pay a planned periodic premium will not
necessarily cause the Policy to lapse, but the Policy could lapse even if
planned periodic premiums have been paid, depending upon the investment
experience of the Account. AVLIC agrees to keep the Policy in force during the
first three years and provide a Guaranteed Death Benefit during that period so
long as the cumulative pro rata monthly minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit premium
is paid even though, in certain instances, the minimum payment allowed by
contract will not, after the payment of monthly insurance and administrative
charges, generate positive surrender values during the first several policy
months. AVLIC also offers an Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit rider which
extends this benefit to between 10 and 30 years depending upon the age of the
insured at the date of issue.
DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
As long as the Policy remains in force, AVLIC will, upon satisfactory proof of
the Insured's death, pay the death benefit proceeds of a Policy in accordance
with the death benefit option in effect at the time of the Insured's death. The
amount of the death benefits payable will be determined at the end of the
valuation period during which the Insured's death occurred. The death benefit
proceeds may be paid in a lump sum or under one or more of the payment options
set forth in the Policy. (See Payment Options, page 20).
Death benefit proceeds will be paid to the surviving beneficiary or
beneficiaries specified in the application or as subsequently changed. If no
beneficiary is chosen, the proceeds will be paid to the Policyowners estate.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
The Policy provides two death benefit options, unless the Extended Maturity
Rider is in effect, and the Policyowner selects one of the options in the
application. The death benefit under either option will never be less than the
current Specified Amount of the Policy as long as the Policy remains in force
(see Policy Lapse and Reinstatement, page 25).

The minimum initial Specified Amount is currently $50,000. Defined differences,
assisted by graphic illustrations are as follows:
OPTION A.
Omitted graph illustrates payout under Death Benefit Option A, specifically by
showing the relationships over time, between the Specified Amount and the
Accumulation Value.
Death Benefit Option A. Pays a Face Amount of death benefit equal to the
Specified Amount or the accumulation value multiplied by the Death Benefit Ratio
(as illustrated at Point A) whichever is greater.
Under Option A, the death benefit is the current Specified Amount of the Policy
or, if greater, the applicable percentage of accumulation value on the date of
death. The applicable percentage is 250% for Insureds with an attained age 40 or
younger on the policy anniversary prior to the date of death. For Insureds with
an attained age over 40 on that policy anniversary, the percentage declines. For
example, the percentage at age 40 is 250%, at age 50 is 185%, at age 60 is 130%,
at age 70 is 115%, at age 80 is 105%, and at age 90 is 100%. Accordingly, under
Option A the death benefit will remain level at the Specified Amount unless the
applicable percentage of accumulation value exceeds the current Specified
Amount, in which case the amount of the death benefit will vary as the
accumulation value varies. Policyowners who prefer to have favorable investment
performance, if any, reflected in higher accumulation value, rather than
increased insurance coverage, generally should select Option A.
OPTION B.
Omitted graph illustrates payout under Death Benefit Option B, specifically by
showing the relationships over time, between the Specified Amount and the
Accumulation Value.
Death Benefit Option B. Pays a Face Amount of death benefit equal to the
Specified Amount plus the Policy's accumulation value or the accumulation
value multiplied by the Death Benefit Ratio, whichever is greater.
Under Option B, the death benefit is equal to the current Specified Amount plus
the accumulation value of the Policy or, if greater, the applicable percentage
of the accumulation value on the date of death. The applicable percentage is the
same as under Option A: 250% for Insureds with an attained age 40 or younger on
the policy anniversary prior to the date of death, and for Insureds with an
attained age over 40 on that policy anniversary the percentage declines.
Accordingly, under Option B the amount of the death benefit will always vary as
the accumulation value varies (but will never be less than the Specified
Amount). Policyowners who prefer to have favorable investment performance, if
any, reflected in increased insurance coverage, rather than higher accumulation
values, generally should select Option B.
EXTENDED MATURITY
If the Extended Maturity Rider is in effect, the Death Benefit will be the
Accumulation Value.
<PAGE>
CHANGE IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION. The death benefit option may be changed once per
year after the first policy year by sending AVLIC a written request. The
effective date of such a change will be the monthly activity date on or
following the date the change is approved by AVLIC. A change may have Federal
Tax consequences.
If the death benefit option is changed from Option A to Option B, the death
benefit after the change will equal the Specified Amount before the change plus
the accumulation value on the effective date of the change and will require
evidence of insurability before the change is made. If the death benefit option
is changed from Option B to Option A, the Specified Amount under Option A after
the change will equal the death benefit under Option B on the effective date of
change.
No charges will be imposed upon a change in death benefit option, nor will such
a change in and of itself result in an immediate change in the amount of a
Policy's accumulation value. However, a change in the death benefit option may
affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies with the
net amount at risk, which is the amount by which the death benefit that would be
payable on a monthly activity date exceeds the accumulation value on that date.
Changing from Option B to Option A will generally decrease in the future the net
amount at risk, and therefore the cost of insurance charges. Changing from
Option A to Option B generally will not change a net amount at risk. Such a
change, however, will result in an increase in the cost of insurance charges
over time, since the cost of insurance rates increase with the Insured's age.
If, however, the change was from Option A to Option B, the cost of insurance
rate may be different for the increased death benefit. (See Charges and
Deductions, page 25 and Federal Tax Matters, page 32).
CHANGE IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT. Subject to certain limitations, after the first
policy year, a Policyowner may increase or decrease the Specified Amount of a
Policy. A change in Specified Amount may affect the cost of insurance rate and
the net amount at risk, both of which may affect a Policyowner's cost of
insurance charge and have Federal Tax consequences. (See Charges and Deductions,
page 25 and Federal Tax Matters, page 32).
Any increase or decrease in the Specified Amount will become effective on the
monthly activity date on or following the date a written request is approved by
AVLIC. The Specified Amount of a Policy may be changed only once per year and
AVLIC may limit the size of a change in a policy year. The Specified Amount
remaining in force after any requested decrease may not be less than $35,000. In
addition, if following the decrease in Specified Amount, the Policy would not
comply with the maximum premium limitations required by Federal Tax Law (See
Premiums, page 23), the decrease may be limited or accumulation value may be
returned to the Policyowner at the Policyowner's election, to the extent
necessary to meet these requirements.
Increases in the Specified Amount will be allowed after the first policy year.
For an increase in the Specified Amount, a written supplemental application must
be submitted. AVLIC may also require additional evidence of insurability.
Although an increase need not necessarily be accompanied by an additional
premium, in certain cases an additional premium will be required to effect the
requested increase.
(See Premiums upon Increases in Specified Amount, page 24). The minimum amount
of any increase is $25,000, and an increase cannot be made if the Insured's
attained age is over 75. An increase in the Specified Amount will result in
certain increased charges, which will be deducted from the accumulation value of
the Policy on each monthly activity date. An increase in the Specified Amount
may also increase surrender charges. An increase in the Specified Amount during
the time the Guaranteed and Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit provision or rider
are in effect will increase the respective premium requirements. (See Charges
and Deductions, page 25).
METHODS OF AFFECTING INSURANCE PROTECTION
A Policyowner may increase or decrease the pure insurance protection provided by
a Policy - the difference between the death benefit and the accumulation value -
in several ways as insurance needs change. These ways include increasing or
decreasing the Specified Amount of insurance, changing the level of premium
payments, and making a partial withdrawal of the Policy's accumulation value.
Certain of these changes may have Federal Tax consequences. The consequences of
each of these methods will depend upon the individual circumstances.
DURATION OF THE POLICY
The duration of the Policy generally depends upon the accumulation value. The
Policy will remain in force so long as the surrender value is sufficient to pay
the monthly deduction. (See Charges from Accumulation
<PAGE>
Value, page 26). Where, however, the surrender value is insufficient to pay the
monthly deduction and the grace period expires without an adequate payment by
the policyowner, the Policy will lapse and terminate without value. (See Policy
Lapse and Reinstatement, page 25). AVLIC agrees to keep the policy in force
during the first three years and provide a Guaranteed Death Benefit so long as
the cumulative pro rata monthly minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit premium is
paid. AVLIC also offers an Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit rider which extends
this benefit up to 30 years. (See Additional Insurance Benefits, page 29)
ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Policy's accumulation value in the Account or the Fixed Account will reflect
the investment performance of the chosen Subaccounts of the Account or the Fixed
Account, the net premiums paid, any partial withdrawals, and the charges
assessed in connection with the Policy. A Policyowner may at any time surrender
the Policy and receive the Policy's surrender value. (See Surrenders, page 21).
There is no guaranteed minimum accumulation value.
DETERMINATION OF ACCUMULATION VALUE. Accumulation value is determined on each
valuation date. On the policy issue date, the accumulation value in a Subaccount
will equal the portion of any net premium allocated to the Subaccount, reduced
by the portion of the first monthly deductions allocated to that Subaccount.
(See Allocation of Premiums and Accumulation Value, page 24). Thereafter, on
each valuation date, the accumulation value of a Policy will equal:
(a) The aggregate of the values attributable to the Policy in each of the
Subaccounts on the valuation date, determined for each Subaccount by
multiplying the Subaccount's unit value by the number of Subaccount units
allocated to the Policy; plus
(b) The value of the Fixed Account; plus
(c) Any accumulation value impaired by policy debt held in the general account;
plus
(d) Any net premiums received on that valuation date; less
(e) Any partial withdrawal, and its charge, made on that valuation date; less
(f) Any monthly deduction to be made on that valuation date; less
(g) Any federal or state income taxes charged against the accumulation value.
In computing the Policy's accumulation value, the number of Subaccount units
allocated to the Policy is determined after any transfers among Subaccounts, or
the Fixed Account, (and deduction of transfer charges) but before any other
Policy transactions, such as receipt of net premiums and partial withdrawals, on
the valuation date. Because the accumulation value is dependent upon a number of
variables, a Policy's accumulation value cannot be predetermined.
THE UNIT VALUE. The unit value of each Subaccount reflects the investment
performance of that Subaccount. The unit value of each Subaccount shall be
calculated by (i) multiplying the per share net asset value of the corresponding
Fund portfolio on the valuation date times the number of shares held by the
Subaccount, before the purchase or redemption of any shares on that date; minus
(ii) a charge not exceeding an annual rate of .90% for mortality and expense
risk; and (iii) dividing the result by the total number of units held in the
Subaccount on the valuation date, before the purchase or redemption of any units
on that date. (See Daily Charges Against the Account, page 28).
VALUATION DATE AND VALUATION PERIOD. A valuation date is each day on which the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading. A valuation period is the
period between two successive valuation dates, commencing at the close of the
NYSE on each valuation date and ending at the close of the NYSE on the next
succeeding valuation date.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
If the Insured is living, AVLIC will pay the accumulation value of the Policy,
less outstanding policy debt, on the maturity date to the Policyowner. The
Policy will mature on the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 95th
birthday, if living, unless the maturity has been extended by election of the
Extended Maturity Rider.
<PAGE>
PAYMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS
Death benefit proceeds under the Policy will usually be paid within seven days
after AVLIC receives Satisfactory Proof of Death. Accumulation value benefits
will ordinarily be paid within seven days of receipt of a written request.
Payments may be postponed in certain circumstances. (See Postponement of
Payments, page 29). The Policyowner may decide the form in which the benefits
will be paid. During the Insured's lifetime, the Policyowner may arrange for the
death benefit proceeds to be paid in a lump sum or under one or more of the
optional methods of payment described below. Changes must be in writing and will
revoke all prior elections. These choices are also available if the Policy is
surrendered or matures. If no election is made, AVLIC will pay the benefits in a
lump sum. When death benefits are payable in a lump sum and no election for an
optional method of payment is in force at the death of the Insured, the
beneficiary may select one or more of the optional methods of payment. Further,
if the Policy is assigned, any amounts due to the assignee will first be paid in
one sum. The balance, if any, may be applied under any payment option. Once
payments have begun, the payment option may not be changed.
PAYMENT OPTIONS. The minimum amount of each payment is $25. If a payment would
be less than $25, AVLIC has the right to make payments less often so that the
amount of each payment is at least $25. Once a payment option is in effect, the
proceeds will be transferred to AVLIC's general account. AVLIC may make other
payment options available in the future. For additional information concerning
these options, see the Policy itself. The following payment options are
currently available:
OPTION AI--INTEREST PAYMENT OPTION. AVLIC will hold any amount applied under
this option. Interest on the unpaid balance will be paid or credited each month
at a rate determined by AVLIC.
OPTION AII--FIXED AMOUNT PAYABLE OPTION. Each payment will be for an agreed
fixed amount. Payments continue until the amount AVLIC holds runs out.
OPTION B--FIXED PERIOD PAYMENT OPTION. Equal payments will be made for any
period selected up to 20 years.
OPTION C--LIFETIME PAYMENT OPTION. Equal monthly payments are based on the life
of a named person. Payments will continue for the lifetime of that person.
Variations provide for guaranteed payments for a period of time.
OPTION D--JOINT LIFETIME PAYMENT OPTION. Equal monthly payments are based on the
lives of two named persons. While both are living, one payment will be made each
month. When one dies, the same payment will continue for the lifetime of the
other.
As an alternative to the above payment options, the proceeds may be paid in any
other manner approved by AVLIC. Further, one of AVLIC's affiliates may make
payments under the above payment options. If an affiliate makes the payment, it
will do so according to the request of the Policyowner using the rules set out
above.
POLICY RIGHTS
LOAN BENEFITS
LOAN PRIVILEGES. After the first policy anniversary, the Policyowner may borrow
up to 90% of the accumulation value less any surrender charges and any accrued
expenses as of the date of the policy loan at regular and, as described below,
reduced loan interest rates. Loans usually are funded within seven days after
receipt of a written request. The loan may be repaid at any time while the
Insured is living, prior to the maturity date. Policyowners in certain states
may borrow 100% of the surrender value after deducting interest and policy
charges for the remainder of the policy year. Loans may have a tax consequence.
(See Federal Tax Matters, page 32).
INTEREST. AVLIC charges interest to Policyowners at regular and reduced rates.
After the later of age 55 or the tenth policy anniversary, the Policyowner may
borrow each year a limited amount of the accumulation value of the Policy at a
reduced interest rate. Interest will accrue on a daily basis at a rate of up to
5% per year. AVLIC is currently charging 4.5% interest on reduced rate loans.
The amount available at the reduced rate is 10% of the accumulation value as of
the later of age 55 or the 10th policy anniversary (the start date) times the
number of years since the start date, increased by the accrued interest charges
on the reduced loan amount. Regular loans will accrue interest on a daily basis
at a rate of up to 8% per year. AVLIC is currently charging 6.5% on regular
loans.
If unpaid when due, interest will be added to the amount of the
<PAGE>
loan and bear interest at the same rate. The Policyowner earns 4.5% interest on
the accumulation values securing the loans.
EFFECT OF POLICY LOANS. When a loan is made, accumulation value equal to the
amount of the loan will be transferred from the Account and/or the Fixed Account
to the General Account of AVLIC as security for the indebtedness. The
accumulation value transferred out of the Account will be allocated among the
Subaccounts or the Fixed Account in accordance with the instructions given when
the loan is requested. The minimum amount which can remain in a Subaccount or
the Fixed Account as a result of a loan is $100. If no instructions are given
the amounts will be withdrawn in proportion to the various accumulation values
in the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account. If loan interest is not paid when due
in any policy year, on the policy anniversary thereafter, AVLIC will loan the
interest and allocate the amount transferred to secure the excess indebtedness
among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account as set out just above. No charge
will be imposed for these transfers. A policy loan will permanently affect the
accumulation value of a Policy, and may permanently affect the amount of the
Death Benefits, even if the loan is repaid.
Interest earned on amounts held in the general account will be allocated to the
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account on each policy anniversary in the same
proportion that net premiums are being allocated to those Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account at the time. Upon repayment of indebtedness, the portion of the
repayment allocated in accordance with the repayment of indebtedness provision
(see below) will be transferred to increase the accumulation value in that
Subaccount or the Fixed Account.
OUTSTANDING POLICY DEBT. The outstanding policy debt equals the total of all
policy loans and accrued interest on policy loans. If the policy debt exceeds
the accumulation value less any surrender charge and any accrued expenses, the
Policyowner must pay the excess. AVLIC will send a notice of the amount which
must be paid. If the Policyowner does not make the required payment within the
61 days after AVLIC sends the notice, the Policy will terminate without value.
Should the policy lapse while policy loans are outstanding the portion of the
loans attributable to earnings will become taxable. A policyowner may lower the
risk of a policy lapsing while loans are outstanding as a result of a reduction
in the market value of investments in the various subaccounts by investing in a
diversified group of lower risk investment portfolios and/or transferring the
funds to the fixed account and receiving a guaranteed rate of return. Should a
substantial reduction be experienced, the policyowner may need to lower
anticipated withdrawals and loans, repay loans, make additional premium
payments, or take other action to avoid policy lapse (See Appendix B). A lapsed
Policy may later be reinstated. (See Policy Lapse and Reinstatement, page 25).
REPAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Unscheduled premiums paid while a policy loan is
outstanding are treated as repayment of indebtedness only if the Policyowner so
requests. As indebtedness is repaid, the accumulation value in the general
account securing the indebtedness repaid will be allocated among the Subaccounts
and the Fixed Account in the same proportion that net premiums are being
allocated at the time of repayment.
SURRENDERS
At any time during the lifetime of the Insured and prior to the maturity date,
the Policyowner may partially withdraw or totally surrender the Policy by
sending a written request to AVLIC. The amount available for surrender is the
surrender value at the end of the valuation period during which the surrender
request is received at AVLIC's Home Office. Surrenders will generally be paid
within seven days of receipt of the written request. (See Postponement of
Payments, page 29). Surrenders may have tax consequences. (See Tax Treatment of
Policy Proceeds, page 33).
TOTAL SURRENDERS. If the Policy is being totally surrendered, the Policy itself
must be returned to AVLIC along with the request. AVLIC will pay the surrender
value. Coverage under the Policy will terminate as of the date of a total
surrender. A Policyowner may elect to have the amount paid in a lump sum or
under a payment option. (See Payment Options, page 20).
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
Partial withdrawals are irrevocable. During policy years 2-5 a partial
withdrawal may be obtained if the accumulation value is at least three times the
annual Guaranteed Death Benefit premiums. The amount of a partial withdrawal may
not exceed the surrender value on the date the request is received and may not
be less than $500. The surrender value after a partial withdrawal must be at
least $1,000 and further during policy years 2-5 the accumulation value after
surrender must equal two times the annual Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium.
<PAGE>
The amount paid will be deducted from the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account
according to the instructions of the Policyowner when the withdrawal is
requested, provided that the minimum amount remaining in a Subaccount as a
result of the allocation is $100. If no instructions are given, the amounts will
be withdrawn in proportion to the various accumulation values in the Subaccounts
and/or Fixed Account.
The Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawal and
may affect the way in which the cost of insurance charge is calculated and the
amount of pure insurance protection under the Policy. (See Monthly Deduction -
Cost of Insurance, page 26; Death Benefit Options--Methods of Affecting
Insurance Protection, page 18). If Option B is in effect, the Specified Amount
will not change, but the accumulation value will be reduced.
The Specified Amount remaining in force after a partial withdrawal may not be
less than $35,000. Any request for a partial withdrawal that would reduce the
Specified Amount below this amount will not be implemented. A fee not to exceed
the lesser of $50.00 or 2% of the amount withdrawn is deducted from each partial
withdrawal amount paid. Currently, the charge is the lesser of $25 or 2% of the
amount withdrawn. (See Partial Withdrawal Charge, page 28).
TRANSFERS
Accumulation value may be transferred among the Subaccounts of the Account and
to the Fixed Account as often as desired. The transfers may be ordered in
person, by mail or by telephone. The total amount transferred each time must be
at least $250, or the balance of the Subaccount, if less. The minimum amount
that may remain in a Subaccount or the Fixed Account after a transfer is $100.
One hundred percent of the amount deposited plus interest thereon may be
transferred out of the Fixed Account during the 30-day period following the
yearly policy anniversary date.
The first fifteen transfers per policy year will be permitted free of charge.
Thereafter, a transfer charge of $10 may be imposed each additional time amounts
are transferred and will be deducted from the amount transferred. (See Transfer
Charge, page 27). Transfers resulting from policy loans or exercise of the
exchange privilege will not be subject to a transfer charge. AVLIC may at any
time revoke or modify the transfer privilege, including the minimum amount
transferable.
The privilege to initiate transactions by telephone will be made available to
Policyowners automatically. AVLIC will employ reasonable procedures to confirm
that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine, and if it does not,
AVLIC may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions. The procedures AVLIC follows for transactions initiated by
telephone include, but are not limited to, requiring the Policyowner to provide
the policy number at the time of giving transfer instructions; AVLIC's tape
recording of all telephone transfer instructions; and the provision, by AVLIC,
of written confirmation of telephone transactions.
Transfers may be subject to additional restrictions at the fund level.
SYSTEMATIC PROGRAMS
AVLIC may offer systematic programs as discussed below. Transfers of
Accumulation Value made pursuant to these programs will not be counted in
determining whether the transfer fee applies. All other normal transfer
restrictions, as described above, apply.
PORTFOLIO REBALANCING. Under the Portfolio Rebalancing program, the Owner can
instruct AVLIC to allocate Accumulation Value among the Subaccounts of the
Account and the Fixed Account, on a systematic basis, in accordance with
allocation instructions specified by the Owner.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING. Under the Dollar Cost Averaging program, the owner can
instruct AVLIC to automatically transfer, on a systematic basis, a predetermined
amount or percentage specified by the Owner from any one Subaccount or the Fixed
Account to any Subaccount(s) of the Separate Account.
EARNINGS SWEEP. Permits systematic redistribution of earnings among Subaccounts.
The Owner can request participation in the available programs when purchasing
the Policy or at a later date. The Owner can change the allocation percentage or
discontinue any program by sending written notice or calling the Home Office.
Other scheduled programs may be made available. AVLIC reserves the right to
modify, suspend or terminate such programs at any time. There is no charge for
participation in these programs at this time.
<PAGE>
REFUND PRIVILEGE
The Policyowner may cancel the Policy within 10 days after the Policyowner
receives it, within 10 days after AVLIC delivers a notice of the Policyowners
right of cancellation, or within 45 days of completing Part I of the
application, whichever is later. If a Policy is cancelled within this time
period the refund will be the greater of the premium paid or the premium paid
adjusted by investment gains or losses.
To cancel the Policy, the Policyowner should mail or deliver it to AVLIC at the
Home Office. A refund of premiums paid by check may be delayed until the check
has cleared the Policyowner's bank. (See Postponement of Payments, page 29).
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
During the first 24 policy months after the policy date of the Policy, the
Policyowner may exchange the Policy for a flexible premium adjustable life
insurance policy approved for exchange and issued by AVLIC or Ameritas Life
Insurance Corp. No new evidence of insurability will be required.
The policy date, issue age and risk classification for the Insured will be the
same under the new Policy as under the old. In addition, the policy provisions
and applicable charges for the new Policy and its riders will be based on the
same policy date and issue age as under the Policy. Accumulation values for the
exchange and payments will be established after making adjustments for
investment gains or losses and after recognizing variance, if any, between
payment or charges, dividends or accumulation values under the flexible contract
and under the new Policy. The Policyowner may elect either the same Specified
Amount or the same net amount at risk for the new Policy as under the old.
To make the change, the Policy, a completed application for exchange and any
required payment must be received by AVLIC. The exchange will be effective on
the valuation date when all financial and contractual arrangements for the new
Policy have been completed.
PAYMENT AND ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
ISSUANCE OF A POLICY
Individuals wishing to purchase a Policy must complete an application and submit
it to AVLIC's Home Office (One Ameritas Way, 5900 "O" Street, P.O. Box 82550,
Lincoln, Nebraska 68501). A Policy will generally be issued only to individuals
80 years of age or less on their nearest birthday who supply satisfactory
evidence of insurability to AVLIC. AVLIC may, at its sole discretion, issue a
Policy to an individual above the age of 80. Acceptance is subject to AVLIC's
underwriting rules, and AVLIC reserves the right to reject an application for
any reason.
The policy date is the effective date of coverage for all coverage applied for
in the original application. The policy date is used to determine policy
anniversary dates, policy years and policy months. The policy date and the issue
date will be the same unless: 1) an earlier policy date is specifically
requested, or 2) when additional premiums or application amendments are needed.
When there are additional requirements before issue (see below) the policy date
will be when it is sent for delivery and the issue date will be the date the
requirements are met.
The issue date is the date that all financial, contractual and administrative
requirements have been met and processed for the Policy. When all required
premiums and application amendments have been received by AVLIC in its Home
Office, the issue date will be the date the Policy is mailed to the Policyowner
or sent to the agent for delivery to the Policyowner. When application
amendments or additional premiums need to be obtained upon delivery of the
Policy, the issue date will be when the policy receipt and Federal Funds are
received; and the application amendments are received and reviewed in AVLIC's
Home Office. The initial premium payment will be allocated to the Money Market
Portfolio of the Variable Products Insurance Fund, as of the issue date, for 13
days. After the expiration of the refund period, the accumulation value will be
allocated to the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account as selected by the
Policyowner.
Interim conditional insurance coverage may be issued prior to the policy date,
provided that certain conditions are met, upon the completion of an application
and the payment of a specified amount at the time of the application. The amount
of the interim coverage is limited to the smaller of; (a) the amount of
insurance applied for, (b) $100,000, or (c) $25,000 if the proposed Insured is
under age 10 or over age 60 at his nearest birthday.
<PAGE>
PREMIUMS
No insurance will take effect before the initial premium is received by AVLIC in
Federal Funds. The initial premium must be at least 1/12 of the first year
Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium, including any riders and any substandard risk
adjustment, times the number of months between the policy date and the issue
date, plus one. Subsequent premiums are payable at AVLIC's Home Office. The
Directors and employees of AVLIC and its affiliates may purchase this Policy in
transactions that involve lower sales costs to AVLIC. In those instances the
initial sales load, the contingent deferred sales load, and/or initial premium
may be lowered. In no event will this be permitted where it will be unfairly
discriminatory to any person. Subject to certain limitations, a Policyowner has
flexibility in determining the frequency and amount of premiums. However, unless
the Policyowner has paid sufficient premiums to pay the cost of insurance, the
monthly maintenance and mortality and expense risk charges, the Policy may have
a zero surrender value and lapse. AVLIC agrees to keep the Policy in force
during the first three years and provide a Guaranteed Death Benefit so long as
the cumulative prorated monthly minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium is paid
even though, in certain instances, these minimum premiums will not, after the
payment of monthly insurance and administrative charges, generate positive
surrender values during the first several policy months. AVLIC also offers an
Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit rider which extends this benefit up to 30
years. (See Additional Insurance Benefits (Riders), page 29).
PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS. At the time the Policy is issued each Policyowner may
determine a planned periodic premium schedule that provides for the payment of
level premiums at selected intervals. The planned periodic premium schedule may
include the Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium and/or the Extended Guaranteed
Death Benefit Premium. The Policyowner is not required to pay premiums in
accordance with this schedule. The Policyowner has considerable flexibility to
alter the amount and frequency of premiums paid. AVLIC does reserve the right to
limit the number and amount of additional or unscheduled premium payments.
Policyowners can also change the frequency and amount of planned periodic
premiums by sending a written request to the Home Office, although AVLIC
reserves the right to limit any increase. Premium payment notices will be sent
annually, semi-annually or quarterly, depending upon the frequency of the
planned periodic premiums. Payment of the planned periodic premiums does not
guarantee that the Policy remains in force unless the Guaranteed Death Benefit
provision and/or the Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect.
Instead, the duration of the Policy depends upon the Policy's surrender value.
(See Duration of the Policy, page 18). Unless the Guaranteed Death Benefit or
Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit provisions are in effect, even if planned
periodic premiums are paid by the Policyowner, the Policy will lapse any time
surrender value is insufficient to pay certain monthly charges, and a grace
period expires without a sufficient payment. (See Policy Lapse and
Reinstatement, page 25).
PREMIUM LIMITATIONS. In no event may the total of all premiums paid, both
planned and unscheduled, exceed the current maximum premium limitations
established by federal tax laws.
If at any time a premium is paid which would result in total premiums exceeding
the current maximum premium limitation, AVLIC will only accept that portion of
the premium which will make total premiums equal the maximum. Any part of the
premium in excess of that amount will be returned or applied as otherwise agreed
and no further premiums will be accepted until allowed by the current maximum
premium limitations prescribed by law. AVLIC may require additional evidence of
insurability if any premium payment would result in an increase in the Policy's
net amount at risk on the date the premium is received.
PREMIUMS UPON INCREASES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT. Depending upon the accumulation
value of the Policy at the time of an increase in the Specified Amount of the
Policy and the amount of the increase requested by the Policyowner, an
additional premium payment may be required. AVLIC will notify the Policyowner of
any premium required to fund the increase, this required premium must be made as
a single payment. The accumulation value of the Policy will be immediately
increased by the amount of the payment, less the applicable premium charge.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND ACCUMULATION VALUE
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS. In the application for a Policy, the Policyowner
allocates net premiums to one or more Subaccounts of the Account or to the Fixed
Account. The minimum percentage that may be allocated to any one Subaccount or
to the Fixed Account is 10% of the net premium, and fractional percentages may
not be used. The allocations must total 100%. The allocation for future net
premiums may be changed without charge by providing proper notification to the
Home Office. If there is any outstanding policy debt at the time of a payment,
AVLIC will treat the payment as a premium payment unless otherwise instructed in
proper written notice.
<PAGE>
The initial premium payment will be allocated to the Money Market portfolio of
the Variable Insurance Products Fund, as of the issue date, for 13 days.
Thereafter, the accumulation value will be allocated to the Subaccounts or the
Fixed Account as selected by the Policyowner. Premium payments received by AVLIC
prior to the issue date are held in the general account until the issue date and
are credited with interest at a rate determined by AVLIC for the period from the
date the payment has been converted into Federal Funds (monies of member banks
within the Federal Reserve System which are held on deposit at a Federal Reserve
Bank) that are available to AVLIC. In no event will interest be credited prior
to the policy date.
ACCUMULATION VALUE. The value of the Subaccounts of the Separate Account will
vary with the investment performance of these Subaccounts and the Policyowner
bears the entire investment risk. This will affect the Policy's accumulation
value, and may affect the death benefit as well. Policyowners should
periodically review their allocations of premiums and values in light of market
conditions and overall financial planning requirements.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE. Unlike conventional life insurance policies, the failure to make a
planned periodic premium payment will not itself cause the Policy to lapse.
Lapse will occur when the surrender value (the accumulation value less debt,
deferred sales and administrative charges, and accrued expense charges) is
insufficient to cover the monthly deduction and a grace period expires without a
sufficient payment unless the Guaranteed Death Benefit provision or Extended
Death Benefit rider are in effect. The grace period is 61 days from the date
AVLIC mails a notice that the grace period has begun. AVLIC will notify the
Policyowner at the beginning of the grace period by mail addressed to the last
known address on file with AVLIC. The notice will specify the premium required
to keep the Policy in force. Failure to pay the required amount within the grace
period will result in lapse of the Policy. If the Insured dies during the grace
period, any overdue monthly deductions and outstanding policy debt will be
deducted from the proceeds.
If the surrender value is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction, the
policyowner must pay a premium during the grace period sufficient to cover the
monthly deductions and premium charges for the three policy months after
commencement of the grace period to avoid lapse. (See Charges and Deductions,
page 25).
REINSTATEMENT. A lapsed Policy may be reinstated any time within three years
(five years in Missouri) after the end of the grace period, but before the
maturity date. Reinstatement will be effected based on the Insured's
underwriting classification at the time of the reinstatement.
Reinstatement is subject to the following:
a. Evidence of insurability of the Insured satisfactory to AVLIC (including
evidence of insurability of any person covered by a rider to reinstate the
rider);
b. Any policy debt will be reinstated with interest due and accrued;
c. The Policy cannot be reinstated if it has been surrendered for its full
surrender value;
d. If the reinstatement occurs during the first three years, the minimum premium
required is the amount necessary to meet the pro rata monthly requirement of
the Guaranteed Death Benefit premium as of the date of statement as if the
Policy had not lapsed;
e. If the reinstatement occurs after the first three years, the minimum premium
required is the greater of:
(1) the amount necessary to raise the surrender value as of the date of
reinstatement to equal to or greater than zero; or
(2) the amount necessary to pay sales load and premium tax on the premium
paid and monthly policy deductions for the next three policy months.
The amount of accumulation value on the date of reinstatement will be equal to
the amount of the surrender value on the date of lapse, increased by the premium
paid at reinstatement, less the premium charges and the amounts stated above,
plus that part of the deferred sales load (i.e., surrender charge) which would
apply if the Policy were surrendered on the date of reinstatement. The last
addition to the accumulation value is designed to avoid duplicate surrender
charges. The original policy date, and the dates of increases in the Specified
Amount (if applicable), will be used for purposes of calculating the surrender
charge. If any policy debt was reinstated, that debt will be held in AVLIC's
General Account. Accumulation value calculations will then proceed as described
under "Accumulation Value" on page 19.
The effective date of reinstatement will be the first monthly activity date on
or next following the date of approval by AVLIC of the application for
reinstatement.
<PAGE>
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
Charges will be deducted in connection with the Policy to compensate AVLIC for:
(1) providing the insurance benefits set forth in the Policy and any optional
insurance benefits added by rider; (2) administering the Policy; (3) assuming
certain risks in connection with the Policy; and (4) incurring expenses in
distributing the Policy. The nature and amount of these charges are described
more fully below.
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM PAYMENT
SALES CHARGE. AVLIC deducts a sales charge, generally called the "sales load,"
of 5% from each payment to reimburse AVLIC for the cost of selling the Policy.
This cost includes agents' commissions, the printing of Prospectuses and sales
literature, and advertising.
There are two types of sales loads under the Policy. The first, just described,
is the front-end sales load, which will be deducted from each premium payment
upon receipt prior to allocation of net premium to the Account or the Fixed
Account. The second, a contingent deferred sales load which is part of the
surrender charge, will reduce the assets in the Account and the Fixed Account
attributable to the Policy in the event of surrender if surrendered before the
15th policy year.
The sales charges in any Policy year are not necessarily related to actual
distribution expenses incurred in that year. Instead, AVLIC expects to incur the
majority of distribution expenses in the early Policy years and to recover
amounts to pay such expenses over the life of the Policy. To the extent that
sales and distribution expenses exceed sales loads (both front-end and deferred)
in any year, AVLIC will pay them from its other assets or surplus in its General
Account, which include amounts derived from mortality and expense risk charges,
and other charges made under the Policy. AVLIC believes that this distribution
financing arrangement will benefit the Account and the Policyowners.
PREMIUM TAXES. A deduction of 2.5% of the premium will be made from each premium
payment to pay state premium taxes. The deduction represents an amount AVLIC
considers necessary to pay all premium taxes imposed by the states and their
subdivisions. AVLIC does not expect to derive a profit from the premium tax
charge.
CHARGES FROM ACCUMULATION VALUE
MONTHLY DEDUCTION. Charges will be deducted as of the policy date and on each
monthly activity date thereafter from the accumulation value of the Policy to
compensate AVLIC for administrative expenses and insurance provided. These
charges will be allocated among the Subaccounts, and the Fixed Account on a pro
rata basis. Each of these charges is described in more detail below.
MAINTENANCE CHARGE. To compensate AVLIC for the ordinary administrative expenses
expected to be incurred in connection with a Policy, the monthly deduction
includes a $9.00 per policy charge (currently $9.00 the first year and $4.50
during each year thereafter). This maintenance charge is levied throughout the
life of the Policy and is guaranteed not to increase above $9.00 per month.
AVLIC does not expect to make any profit from the monthly maintenance charge.
COST OF INSURANCE. Because the cost of insurance depends upon several variables,
the cost for each policy month can vary from month to month. AVLIC will
determine the monthly cost of insurance charges by multiplying the applicable
cost of insurance rate by the net amount at risk for each policy month. The net
amount at risk on any monthly activity date is the amount by which the death
benefit which would have been payable on that monthly activity date exceeds the
accumulation value on that date.
COST OF INSURANCE RATE. The annual cost of insurance rate is based on the
Insured's sex, attained age, policy duration, specified amount, and risk class.
The rate will vary if the Insured is a smoker, non-smoker, a preferred
non-smoker or is considered a substandard risk and rated with a tabular extra
rating. For the initial Specified Amount, the cost of insurance rate will not
exceed those shown in the Schedule of Guaranteed Annual Cost of Insurance Rates
shown in the schedule pages of the Policy. These guaranteed rates are based on
the Insured's age nearest birthday and are equal to the 1980 Insurance
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker, Male and Female Mortality
Tables. The current rates range between 40% and 100% of the rates based on the
1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Tables, based on AVLIC's own mortality
experience. Policies issued on a unisex basis are based upon the 1980 Insurance
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Table B assuming 80% male and 20% female lines.
The cost of insurance rates, surrender charges, and payment options for policies
issued in Massachusetts, Montana and certain other states are on a sex-neutral
(unisex) basis. Any change in the cost of insurance rates will apply to all
persons of the same age, sex, Specified Amount and risk class and whose policies
have been in effect for the same length of time.
If the underwriting class for any increase in the Specified Amount or for any
increase in death benefit resulting from a change in death benefit option from A
to B is not the same as the underwriting class at issue, the cost of insurance
rate used after such increase will be a composite rate based upon a weighted
average of the rates of the different underwriting classes. Decreases will also
be reflected in the cost of insurance rate as discussed earlier.
The actual charges made during the policy year will be shown in the annual
report delivered to Policyowners.
<PAGE>
RATE CLASS. The rate class of an Insured may affect the cost of insurance rate.
AVLIC currently places Insureds into both standard rate classes and substandard
classes that involve a higher mortality risk. In an otherwise identical policy,
an Insured in the standard rate class will have a lower cost of insurance than
an Insured in a rate class with higher mortality risks. If a Policy is rated at
issue with a tabular extra rating, the guaranteed rate is a multiple of the
guaranteed rate for a standard issue. This multiple factor is shown in the
Schedule of Benefits in the Policy, and may be from 1.5 to 5 times the
guaranteed rate for a standard issue.
Insureds may also be assigned a flat extra rating to reflect certain additional
risks. The flat extra rating will not impact the cost of insurance rate but 1/12
of any flat extra cost will be deducted as part of the monthly deduction on each
monthly activity date.
SURRENDER CHARGE
If a policy is surrendered prior to the 15th anniversary, AVLIC will assess a
surrender charge based upon percentages of the premiums actually paid in policy
years 1 and 2 and a charge per $1,000 of insurance issued based upon sex, age,
and smoking habits.
The total surrender charge is made up of two parts, the Contingent Deferred
Administrative Charge and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. AVLIC will assess
surrender charges on increases in Specified Amount based on Contingent Deferred
Administrative Charges.
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be based upon the actual premiums
received the first two policy years up to a maximum of $12 per $1,000 of
insurance. It will be calculated as 25% of the premiums received up to the
Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium plus 5% of the premiums received in excess of
the Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium.
The Contingent Deferred Administrative Charge is an amount per $1,000 of
insurance that varies by issue age and sex. It is 70% of the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Premium not to exceed $28 per $1,000 of insurance.
The surrender charge remains level in policy years three through five and will
equal the surrender charge at the end of year 2 and then grades to 0% in year
fifteen based upon the following schedule.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Policy Year Percent of Surrender Policy Year Percent of Surrender
Charge maximum that Charge maximum that
will apply during will apply during
policy year policy year
-------------- --------------------- -------------- ----------------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
1 thru 5 100% 11 40%
6 90% 12 30%
7 80% 13 20%
8 70% 14 10%
9 60% 15 0%
10 50%
</TABLE>
No surrender charge will be assessed upon decreases in the Specified Amount of
the Policy or partial withdrawals of accumulation value.
Because the surrender charge may be significant upon early surrender,
prospective Policyowners should purchase a Policy only if they do not intend to
surrender the Policy for a substantial period.
TRANSFER CHARGE. A transfer charge of $10.00 (guaranteed not to increase) may be
imposed for each additional transfer among the Subaccounts after fifteen per
policy year to compensate AVLIC for the costs of
<PAGE>
effecting the transfer. Since the charge reimburses AVLIC for the cost of
effecting the transfer only, AVLIC does not expect to make any profit from the
transfer charge. This charge will be deducted from the amount transferred. The
transfer charge will not be imposed on transfers that occur as a result of
policy loans or the exercise of exchange rights.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. A charge currently not greater than the lesser of $25
or 2% of the amount withdrawn (guaranteed not to be greater than the lesser of
$50 or 2% of the amount withdrawn) will be imposed for each partial withdrawal
to compensate AVLIC for the administrative costs in effecting the requested
payment and in making necessary calculations for any reductions in Specified
Amount which may be required by reason of the partial withdrawal. No Surrender
Charge is assessed on a partial withdrawal and a partial withdrawal charge is
not assessed when a Policy is surrendered.
DAILY CHARGES AGAINST THE ACCOUNT
A daily charge will be deducted from the value of the net assets of the Account
to compensate AVLIC for mortality and expense risks assumed in connection with
the Policy. This daily charge from the Account is currently at the rate of
0.002466% (equivalent to an annual rate of 0.90%) for policy years 1-20 and at
the rate of 0.001781% (equivalent to an annual rate of 0.65%) for the years
thereafter, and will not exceed .90% of the average daily net assets of the
Account. The daily charge will be deducted from the net asset value of the
Account, and therefore the Subaccounts, on each valuation date. Where the
previous day or days was not a valuation date, the deduction on the valuation
date will be 0.002466% (or 0.001781%, if applicable) multiplied by the number of
days since the last valuation date. No mortality and expense charges will be
deducted from the amounts in the Fixed Account.
AVLIC believes that this level of charge is within the range of industry
practice for comparable flexible premium variable universal life policies.
The mortality risk assumed by AVLIC is that Insureds may live for a shorter time
than assumed, and that an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than that
assumed accordingly will be paid. The expense risk assumed is that expenses
incurred in issuing and administering the policies will exceed the
administrative charges provided in the policies.
In addition to the charges against the account described just above, management
fees and expenses will be assessed by FMR, Alger, and MFS against the amounts
invested in the various portfolios. No portfolio fees will be assessed against
amounts placed in the Fixed Account.
AVLIC may receive administrative fees from the investment advisers of certain
funds.
TAXES. Currently, no charge is made against the Account for federal, state or
local income taxes. AVLIC may, however, make such a charge in the future if
income or gains within the Account will incur any federal, or any significant
state or local income tax liability, or if the federal, state or local tax
treatment of AVLIC changes. Charges for such taxes, if any, would be deducted
from the Account and/or the Fixed Account. (See Federal Tax Matters, page 32).
GENERAL PROVISIONS
THE CONTRACT. The Policy, the application, any supplemental applications, and
any riders, amendments or endorsements make up the entire contract. Only the
President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary can modify the
Policy. Any changes must be made in writing, and approved by AVLIC. No agent has
the authority to alter or modify any of the terms, conditions or agreements of
the Policy or to waive any of its provisions. The rights and benefits under the
Policy are summarized in this prospectus; however prospectus disclosure
regarding the policy is qualified in its entirety by the policy itself, a copy
of which is available upon request from AVLIC.
CONTROL OF POLICY. The Policyowner is as shown in the application or subsequent
written endorsement. Subject to the rights of any irrevocable beneficiary and
any assignee of record, all rights, options, and privileges belong to the
Policyowner, if living; otherwise to any successor-owner or owners, if living;
otherwise to the estate of the last owner to die.
BENEFICIARY. Policyowner may name both primary and contingent beneficiaries in
the application. Payments will be shared equally among beneficiaries of the same
class unless otherwise stated. If a beneficiary dies before the Insured,
payments will be made to any surviving beneficiaries of the same class;
otherwise to any beneficiary(ies) of the next class; otherwise to the owner;
otherwise to the estate of the owner.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY. The Policyowner may change the beneficiary by written
request at any time during the Insured's lifetime unless otherwise provided in
the previous designation of beneficiary. The change will take effect as of the
date the change is recorded at the Home Office. AVLIC will not be liable for any
payment made or action taken before the change is recorded.
<PAGE>
CHANGE OF OWNER OR ASSIGNMENT. In order to change the owner of the Policy or
assign Policy rights, an assignment of the Policy must be made in writing and
filed with AVLIC at its Home Office. The change will take effect as of the date
the change is recorded at the Home Office, and AVLIC will not be liable for any
payment made or action taken before the change is recorded. Payment of proceeds
is subject to the rights of any assignee of record.
A collateral assignment is not a change of ownership.
PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds are subject first to any indebtedness to AVLIC
and then to the interest of any assignee of record. The balance of any death
benefit proceeds shall be paid in one sum to the designated beneficiary unless
an Optional Method of Payment is selected. If no beneficiary survives the
Insured, the proceeds shall be paid in one sum to the Policyowner, if living;
otherwise to any successor-owner, if living; otherwise to the Policyowner's
estate. Any proceeds payable on the Maturity Date or upon full surrender shall
be paid in one sum unless an Optional Method of Payment is elected.
INCONTESTABILITY. The Policy or reinstated Policy is incontestable after it has
been in force for two years from the policy date (or reinstatement effective
date) during the lifetime of the Insured. An increase in the Specified Amount or
addition of a rider after the policy date shall be incontestable after such
increase or addition has been in force for two years from its effective date
during the lifetime of the Insured. However, this two year provision shall not
apply to riders that provide disability or accidental death benefits.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX. If the age or sex of the Insured or any person
insured by rider has been misstated, the amount of the death benefit will be
adjusted. The death benefit will be adjusted in proportion to the correct and
incorrect cost of insurance rates.
SUICIDE. Suicide within two years of the policy date is not covered by the
Policy unless otherwise provided by a state's Insurance law. If the Insured,
while sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after the policy date,
AVLIC will pay only the premiums received less any partial withdrawals, the cost
for riders and any outstanding policy debt. If the Insured, while sane or
insane, commits suicide within two years after the effective date of any
increase in the Specified Amount, AVLIC's liability with respect to such
increase will only be its total cost of insurance applied to the increase. The
laws of Missouri provide that death by suicide at any time is covered by the
Policy, and further that suicide by an insane person may be considered an
accidental death.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS. Payment of any amount upon complete surrender, partial
withdrawal, policy loans, benefits payable at death or maturity, and transfers
may be postponed whenever: (i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than
customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission;
(ii) the Commission by order permits postponement for the protection of
Policyowners; (iii) 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 the Account's net assets;
or (iv) surrenders, loans or partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account may be
deferred for up to 6 months from the date of written request. Payments under the
Policy of any amounts derived from premiums paid by check may be delayed until
such time as the check has cleared the Policyowner's bank.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS (RIDERS). Subject to certain requirements, one or
more of the following additional insurance benefits may be added to a Policy by
rider. All riders are not available in all states. The cost, if any, of
additional insurance benefits will be deducted as part of the monthly deduction.
(See Charges From Accumulation Value - Monthly Deduction, page 26).
ACCELERATED BENEFIT RIDER FOR TERMINAL ILLNESS (LIVING BENEFIT RIDER). Upon
satisfactory proof of terminal illness after the two-year contestable period,
(no waiting period in certain states) AVLIC will accelerate the payment of up to
50% of the lowest scheduled death benefit as provided by eligible coverages,
less an amount up to two guideline level premiums.
Future premium allocations after the payment of the benefit must be allocated to
the Fixed Account. Payment will not be made for amounts less than $4,000 or more
than $250,000 on all policies issued by AVLIC or its affiliates. AVLIC may
charge the lesser of 2% of the benefit or $50 as a withdrawal charge to cover
the costs of administration.
Satisfactory proof of terminal illness must include a written statement from a
licensed physician who is not related to the Insured or the Policyowner stating
that the Insured has a non-correctable medical condition that, with a reasonable
degree of medical certainty, will result in the death of the Insured in less
than 12 months (6 months in certain states) from the physician's statement.
Further, the condition must first be diagnosed while the Policy was in force.
The accelerated benefit first will be used to repay any outstanding policy loans
and unpaid loan interest, and will also affect future loans, partial
withdrawals, and surrenders. The accelerated benefit will be treated as a lien
against the policy death benefit and will thus reduce the proceeds payable on
the death of the Insured. There is no extra premium for this rider.
<PAGE>
ACCIDENTAL DEATH BENEFIT RIDER. Provides additional insurance if the Insured's
death results from accidental death, as defined in the rider. Under the terms of
the rider, the additional benefits provided in the Policy will be paid upon
receipt of proof by AVLIC that death resulted directly and independently of all
other causes from accidental bodily injuries incurred before the rider
terminates and within 91 days after such injuries were incurred.
TERM RIDER FOR COVERED INSURED. Provides the Specified Amount of insurance to
the beneficiary upon receipt of satisfactory proof of death of any Covered
Insured, as defined in the rider. This rider is not available if the Extended
Guaranteed Death Benefit rider is chosen.
CHILDREN'S PROTECTION RIDER. Provides for term insurance on the Insured's
children, as defined in the rider. Under the terms of the rider, the death
benefit will be payable to the named beneficiary upon the death of any insured
child. Upon receipt of proof of the Insured's death before the rider terminates,
the rider will be considered paid up for the term of the rider.
EXTENDED GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER. Provides that, as long as the
cumulative Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit premiums are paid during the
guarantee period, the Policy will stay in force and the Specified Amount of the
Policy will be paid upon death even though the surrender value of the Policy is
zero or less.
The length of the guarantee period for various issue ages is as follows: issue
ages 0-35 - 30 years; issue ages 36-55 to age 65; and issue ages 56-65 - 10
years. The rider will not be issued on policies for persons over 65 or rated as
a substandard risk.
The annual premium for the Extended Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider will equal
the Guaranteed Death Benefit premium for nonsmokers taking Death Benefit Option
A under the Policy. A higher premium will be required for smokers and/or persons
taking Policy Option B. If the required premium exceeds the IRS guideline level
premium, the rider cannot be issued. The required annual premium will be
adjusted by changes in the Specified Amount, changes in death benefit options or
changes in riders.
Partial withdrawals and any outstanding policy debt are subtracted from premiums
paid in determining if cumulative monthly pro rata extended Guaranteed Death
Benefit premiums have been paid. Further, the Policy will terminate if the
policy loan exceeds the surrender value even if the cumulative premiums have
been paid.
GUARANTEED INSURABILITY RIDER. Provides that the Policyowner can purchase
additional insurance for the Insured by increasing the Specified Amount of the
Policy at certain future dates without evidence of insurability.
DISABILITY BENEFIT PAYMENT RIDER. Provides for the payment of a disability
benefit in the form of premiums by AVLIC while the Insured is disabled. The
premium payments provided will equal the policy's initial Guaranteed Death
Benefit premium. In addition, while the Insured is totally disabled, the cost of
insurance for the rider will not be deducted from the Policy's accumulation
value.
PAYOR DISABILITY RIDER. Provides for the payment of a disability benefit in the
form of premiums by AVLIC while the Covered Person specified in the rider is
totally disabled, as defined in the rider. The premium payments provided will
equal the policy's initial Guaranteed Death Benefit premium. In addition, while
the Covered Person is totally disabled, the cost of insurance for the rider will
not be deducted from the Policy's accumulation value.
EXTENDED MATURITY RIDER. This rider may be elected by submitting a written
request to AVLIC during the 90 days prior to Maturity Date. If elected, as long
as the Surrender Value is greater than zero, the policy will remain in force for
purposes of providing a benefit at the time of the Insured's death. Once this
rider becomes effective, no further premium payments will be accepted, and no
monthly charges will be made for cost of insurance, riders or flat extra rating.
All other policy provisions not specifically noted herein will remain in effect
while the policy continues in force. Interest on policy loans will continue to
accrue and become part of the policy debt. This rider does not extend the
Maturity Date for purposes of determining benefits under any other riders. Death
Benefit Proceeds are payable to the beneficiary.
There is no extra premium for this rider. This rider is not available in all
states.
The Internal Revenue Service has not issued a ruling regarding the tax
consequences of this rider. There may be tax consequences to the election of
this rider.
REPORTS AND RECORDS. AVLIC will maintain all records relating to the Account and
will mail to the Policyowner, at the last known address of record, within 30
days after each policy anniversary, an annual report which shows the current
accumulation value, surrender value, death benefit, premiums paid, outstanding
policy debt and other information. The Policyowner will also be sent a periodic
report for the Funds and a list of the portfolio securities held in each
portfolio of the Funds.
<PAGE>
EXCHANGE OFFER
On June 13, 1990, the Securities and Exchange Commission, after application by
Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company (AVLIC), AVLIC's Separate Account V and
Ameritas Investment Corp., and public notice in the Federal Register, granted
their request that they be allowed to offer to exchange certain previously
issued Variable Universal Life Insurance policies for the policies offered by
this Prospectus.
1. This insurance Policy will be issued as of the original date of issue of the
exchanged UniVar Life Policy;
2. This Policy will be issued to UniVar Policyowners without additional evidence
of insurability of the insured for the same amount of insurance.
3. The UniVar Life Policyowner will be refunded all of the sales and acquisition
charges deducted from his/her premium payment, except premium taxes, plus 12%
interest thereon, which amount will be added to the UniVar Policy's
accumulation value.
4. After the additions to the accumulation value, AVLIC will then exchange the
UniVar Life Policy for and issue the Policy offered by this Prospectus on a
relative net asset basis without deducting surrender charges on the UniVar
Life Policy's surrender or sales or acquisition charges on this Policy's
acquisition. AVLIC expects to recover certain of the refunded sales and
acquisition charges through surrender charges on this Policy if surrendered
before the 15th policy year dating from the original UniVar issue date. AVLIC
does not expect to recover the remainder of the refunded charge.
5. The Policyowner will then enjoy the benefits and be subject to the charges
and contract provisions as set out in this Prospectus. A table summarizing
the charges under the respective policies follows:

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
Ameritas Investment Corp. ("Investment Corp."), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Ameritas Life and an affiliated company of AVLIC, will act as the principal
underwriter of the Policies, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement between
itself and AVLIC. Investment Corp. was organized under the laws of the State of
Nebraska on December 29, 1983 and is a registered broker/dealer pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers.
Registered Representatives of Investment Corp. who sell the Policy will receive
commissions based upon a commission schedule. After issuance of the Policy,
commissions to the Registered Representatives will equal, at most, 50% of the
commissionable first year premium paid plus the first year cost of any riders.
In years thereafter, Registered Representatives will receive a maximum
commission of 4% per policy year on any premiums paid. Upon any subsequent
increase in Specified Amount or any subsequent increase in riders, commissions
will also be paid based on the amount of the increase in Specified Amount or
increase in rider. Further, Registered Representatives who meet certain
production standards may receive additional compensation, and managers receive
override commissions and bonuses with respect to the Policies. Investment Corp.
and AVLIC may authorize other registered broker/dealers and its Registered
Representatives to sell the Policies subject to applicable law.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
The following discussion provides a general description of the federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice.
No attempt has been made to consider in detail any applicable state or other tax
(except premium taxes, see discussion "Premium Taxes," page 26 ) laws. This
discussion is based upon AVLIC's understanding of the relevant laws at the time
of filing. Counsel and other competent advisors should be consulted for more
complete information before a Policy is purchased.
(a) TAXATION OF AVLIC. AVLIC is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I
of Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"). At this
time, since the Account is not an entity separate from AVLIC, and its
operations form a part of AVLIC, it will not be taxed separately as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Net
investment income and realized net capital gains on the assets of the
Account are reinvested and automatically retained as a part of the reserves
of the Policy and are taken into account in determining the death benefit
and accumulation value of the Policy. AVLIC believes that Account net
investment income and realized net capital gains will not be taxable to the
extent that such income and gains are retained as reserves under Policy.
AVLIC does not currently expect to incur any federal income tax liability
attributable to the Account with respect to the sale of the Policies.
Accordingly, no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal
income taxes. If, however, AVLIC determines that it may incur such taxes
attributable to the Account, it may assess a charge for such taxes against
the Account.
AVLIC may also incur state and local taxes (in addition to premium taxes
for which a deduction from premiums is currently made). At present, they
are not charges against the Account. If there is a material change in state
or local tax laws, charges for such taxes attributable to the Account, if
any, may be assessed against the Account.
(b) TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. The Code (section 7702)includes a definition of a
life insurance contract for federal tax purposes, which places limitations
on the amount of premiums that may be paid for the Policy and the
relationship of the accumulation value to the death benefit. AVLIC believes
that the Policy meets the statutory definition of a life insurance
contract. If the death benefit of a Policy is changed, the applicable
definitional limitations may change. In the case of a decrease in the death
benefit, a partial surrender, a change from Option B to Option A, or any
other such change that reduces future benefits under the Policy during the
first 15 years after a Policy is issued and that results in a cash
distribution to the Policyowners in order for the Policy to continue
complying with the section 7702 definitional limitations on premiums and
accumulation values, such distributions will be taxable as ordinary income
to the Policyowner (to the extent of any gain in the Policy) as prescribed
in Section 7702.
The Code (section 7702A) also defines a "modified endowment contract" for
federal tax purposes which causes distributions to be taxed as ordinary
income to the extent of any gain. This Policy will become a "modified
endowment contract" if the premiums paid into the Policy fail to meet a
7-pay premium test as outlined in Section 7702A of the Code.
<PAGE>
Certain benefits the Insured may elect under this Policy may be material
changes affecting the 7-pay premium test. These include changes in death
benefits and changes in the policy amount. Should the Policy become a
"modified endowment contract" partial or full surrenders, assignments,
pledges, and loans (including loans to pay loan interest) under the Policy
will be taxable to the extent of any gain under the Policy. A 10% penalty
tax also applies to the taxable portion of any distribution prior to the
Insured's age 59 1/2. The 10% penalty tax does not apply if the Insured is
disabled as defined under the Code or if the distribution is paid out in
the form of a life annuity on the life of the Insured or the joint lives of
the Insured and beneficiary. One may avoid a Policy becoming a modified
endowment contract by, among other things, not making excessive payments or
reducing benefits. Should one deposit excessive premiums during a policy
year, that portion that is returned by the insurance company within 60 days
after the policy anniversary will reduce the premiums paid to avoid the
Policy becoming a modified endowment contract.
The Code (Section 817(h)) also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
(the "Treasury") to set standards by regulation or otherwise for the
investments of the Account to be "adequately diversified" in order for the
Policy to be treated as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.
The Account, through the Funds, intends to comply with the diversification
requirements prescribed by the Treasury in regulations published in the
Federal Register on March 2, 1989, which affect how the Fund's assets may
be invested.
However, AVLIC believes that the Funds will meet the diversification
requirements and AVLIC will monitor compliance with this requirement. Thus,
AVLIC believes that the Policy will be treated as a life insurance contract
for federal tax purposes.
In connection with the issuance of regulations relating to the
diversification requirements, the Treasury announced that such regulations
do not provide guidance concerning the extent to which owners may direct
their investments to particular divisions of a separate account.
Regulations in this regard may be issued in the future. It is not clear
what these regulations will provide nor whether they will be prospective
only. It is possible that when regulations are issued, the Policy may need
to be modified to comply with such regulations. For these reasons, the
Company reserves the right to modify the Policy as necessary to prevent the
Policyowner from being considered the owner of the assets of the Separate
Account.
The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for federal tax purposes.
(c) TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY PROCEEDS. AVLIC believes that the Policy will be
treated in a manner consistent with a fixed benefit life insurance policy
for federal income tax purposes. Thus, AVLIC believes that the death
benefit payable will be excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary
under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code and the Policyowner will not be deemed
to be in constructive receipt of the accumulation value under the Policy
until its actual surrender. However, in the event of certain cash
distributions under the Policy resulting from any change which reduces
future benefits under the Policy, the distribution will be taxed in whole
or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of gain in the Policy). See
discussion above, "Tax Status of the Policy."
AVLIC also believes that loans received under a Policy will be treated as
indebtedness of the Policyowner and that no part of any loan under a Policy
will constitute income to the Policyowner so long as the Policy remains in
force, unless the Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract. Should the
policy lapse while policy loans are outstanding the portion of the loans
attributable to earnings will become taxable. Generally, interest paid on
any loan under a Policy owned by an individual will not be tax-deductible.
In addition, interest on any loan under a Policy owned by a taxpayer and
covering the life of any individual who is an officer or is financially
interested in the business carried on by that taxpayer will not be tax
deductible to the extent the aggregate amount of such loans with respect to
Policies covering such individual exceeds $50,000. Further, even as to
interest on loans up to $50,000 per such individual, such interest would
not be deductible if the Policy were deemed for federal tax purposes to be
a single premium life insurance contract. Policyowners should consult a
competent tax advisor as to whether the Policy would be so deemed.
The right to exchange the Policy for a flexible premium adjustable life
insurance policy (See Exchange Privilege, page 22), the right to change
owners (See General Provisions, page 28), and the provision for partial
withdrawals (See Surrenders, page 21) may have tax consequences depending
on the circumstances of such exchange, change, or withdrawal. Upon complete
surrender or when maturity benefits are paid, if the amount received plus
any outstanding policy debt exceeds the total premiums paid (the "basis"),
that are not treated as previously withdrawn by the Policyowner, the excess
generally will be taxed as ordinary income.
<PAGE>
Federal estate and state and local estate, inheritance, and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on
applicable law and the circumstances of each Policyowner or beneficiary. In
addition, if the Policy is used in connection with tax-qualified retirement
plans, certain limitations prescribed by the Service on, and rules with
respect to the taxation of, life insurance protection provided through such
plans may apply.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
AVLIC holds the assets of the Account. The assets are kept physically segregated
and held separate and apart from the General Account assets, except for the
Fixed Account. AVLIC maintains records of all purchases and redemptions of Funds
shares by each of the Subaccounts.
VOTING RIGHTS
AVLIC is the legal holder of the shares held in the Subaccounts of the Account
and as such has the right to vote the shares; to elect Directors of the Funds,
to vote on matters that are required by the 1940 Act and upon any other matter
that may be voted upon at a shareholders's meeting. To the extent required by
law, AVLIC will vote all shares of the Funds held in the Account at regular and
special shareholder meetings of the Funds in accordance with instructions
received from Policyowners based on the number of shares held as of the record
date declared by the Fund's Board of Directors.
The number of Fund shares in a Subaccount for which instructions may be given by
a Policyowner is determined by dividing the Policy's accumulation value held in
that Subaccount by the net asset value of one share in the corresponding
portfolio of the Fund. Fractional shares will be counted. Fund shares held in
each Subaccount for which no timely instructions from Policyowners are received
and Fund shares held in each Subaccount which do not support Policyowner
interests will be voted by AVLIC in the same proportion as those shares in that
Subaccount for which timely instructions are received. Voting instructions to
abstain on any item to be voted will be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce
the votes eligible to be cast. Should applicable federal securities laws or
regulations permit, AVLIC may elect to vote shares of the Fund in its own right.
DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTION. AVLIC may, if required by state insurance
officials, disregard voting instructions if those instructions would require
shares to be voted to cause a change in the subclassification or investment
objectives or policies of one or more of the Funds' Portfolios, or to approve or
disapprove an investment adviser or principal underwriter for the Funds. In
addition, AVLIC itself may disregard voting instructions that would require
changes in the investment objectives or policies of any portfolio or in an
investment adviser or principal underwriter for the Funds, if AVLIC reasonably
disapproves those changes in accordance with applicable federal regulations. If
AVLIC does disregard voting instructions, it will advise Policyowners of that
action and its reasons for the action in the next annual report or proxy
statement to Policyowners.
STATE REGULATION OF AVLIC
AVLIC, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of Nebraska, is

AMERITAS VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT V
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
A. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------
Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company Separate Account V (the Account)
was established on August 28, 1985, under Nebraska law by Ameritas Variable
Life Insurance Company (AVLIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameritas Life
Insurance Corp. (ALIC). The assets of the Account are segregated from
AVLIC's other assets and are used only to support variable life products
issued by AVLIC.
The Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a unit investment trust. At December 31, 1995, there are twenty
subaccounts within the Account. Five of the subaccounts invest only in a
corresponding Portfolio of Variable Insurance Products Fund and five invest
only in a corresponding Portfolio of Variable Insurance Products Fund II.
Both funds are diversified open-end management investment companies and are
managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company. Six of the subaccounts
invest only in a corresponding Portfolio of Alger American Fund which is a
diversified open-end management investment company managed by Fred Alger
Management, Inc. One subaccount invests only in a corresponding Portfolio
of Dreyfus Stock Index Fund which is a non-diversified open-end management
investment company managed by Dreyfus Service Corporation. Three of the
subaccounts invest only in a corresponding Portfolio of MFS Variable
Insurance Trust which is a diversified open-end management investment
company managed by Massachusetts Financial Services Company. All five funds
are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each
Portfolio pays the manager a monthly fee for managing its investments and
business affairs. The assets of the Account are carried at the net asset
value of the underlying Portfolios of the Funds. The value of the
policyowners' units corresponds to the Account's investment in the
underlying subaccounts. The availability of investment portfolio and
subaccount options may vary between products.
AVLIC currently does not expect to incur any federal income tax liability
attributable to the Account with respect to the sale of the variable life
insurance policies. If, however, AVLIC determines that it may incur such
taxes attributable to the Account, it may assess a charge for such taxes
against the Account.
B. POLICYHOLDER CHARGES:
---------------------
AVLIC charges the Account for mortality and expense risks assumed. A daily
charge is made on the average daily value of the net assets representing
equity of policyowners held in each subaccount per each product's current
policy provisions. Additional charges are made at intervals and in amounts
per each product's current policy provisions. These charges are prorated
against the balance in each investment option of the policyholder,
including the Fixed Account option which is not reflected in this separate
account. The withdrawal of these charges are included as other operating
transfers.

Lincoln, Nebraska
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ameritas Variable Life
Insurance Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with statutory accounting principles which are considered generally
accepted accounting principles for mutual life insurance companies and their
insurance subsidiaries.
As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, effective December 31, 1995,

A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company (the Company), a stock life
insurance company domiciled in the State of Nebraska, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp.(ALIC), a mutual life insurance
company. The Company began issuing variable life insurance and variable
annuity policies in 1987. The variable life and variable annuity policies
are not participating with respect to dividends.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
life insurance accounting practices prescribed by the Insurance Department
of the State of Nebraska. While appropriate for mutual life insurance
companies, such accounting practices differ in certain respects from
generally accepted accounting principles followed by other business
enterprises. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has undertaken
consideration of changing those methods constituting generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to mutual life insurance companies. In
accordance with pronouncements issued by the FASB in 1993 and 1994,
financial statements prepared on the basis of statutory accounting practices
will no longer be described as prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995.
USE OF ESTIMATES - 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.
The principal accounting and reporting practices followed are:
INVESTMENTS - Bonds and short-term investments earning interest are carried
at amortized cost which, for short-term investments, approximates market.
Separate account assets are carried at market. Realized gains and losses are
determined on the basis of specific identification.
ACQUISITION COSTS - Commissions, reinsurance ceded allowances, underwriting
and other costs of issuing new policies as well as maintenance and
settlement costs are reported as costs of insurance operations in the period
incurred.
PREMIUMS - Premiums are reported as income when collected over the premium
paying periods of the policies. Premium income consists of:

$ 158,436 $ 174,085 $ 155,166
============== ============== ==============
</TABLE>
POLICY RESERVES - Generally, reserves for variable life and annuity policies
are established and maintained on the basis of each policyholder's interest
in the account values of Separate Accounts V and VA-2. However, reserves
established for certain annuity products are determined on the basis of the
Commissioner's Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM) reserving method
which approximates surrender values. The account values are net of
applicable cost of insurance and other expense charges. The cost of
insurance has been developed by actuarial methods. The Company uses the
mortality rates from the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Smoker and
Non- Smoker, Male and Female Mortality Tables in computing minimum values
and reserves. Policy reserves are also provided for amounts held in the
general accounts consistent with requirements of the Nebraska Department of
Insurance.

(in thousands)
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Continued)
-----------
INTEREST MAINTENANCE RESERVE - The interest maintenance reserve is
calculated based on the prescribed methods developed by the NAIC. This
reserve is used to accumulate realized gains and losses resulting from
interest rate changes on fixed income investments. These gains and losses
are then amortized into investment income over what would have been the
remaining years to maturity of the underlying investment.
VALUATION RESERVE - Valuation reserves are a required appropriation of
Stockholder's Equity to provide for possible losses that may occur on
certain investments held by the Company. The appropriation (Asset Valuation
Reserve) is based on the holdings of bonds, stocks, mortgages, real estate
and short-term investments. Realized and unrealized gains and losses, other
than those resulting from interest rate changes, are added or charged to the
reserve (subject to certain maximums).
INCOME TAXES - The Company files a consolidated life/non-life tax return
with Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. and its subsidiaries. An agreement among
the members of the consolidated group provides for distribution of
consolidated tax results as if filed on a separate return basis. The current
income tax expense or benefit (including effects of capital gains and losses
and net operating losses) is apportioned generally on a sub-group
(life/non-life) basis. As a result of differences in accounting between book
and tax purposes for certain items, primarily deferred acquisition costs and
certain reserve calculations, taxes are provided in excess of the 35%
statutory corporate rate.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING - Effective December 31, 1995 the Company released the
voluntary mortality fluctuation reserve through a credit to stockholder's
equity. The increase in reserve included in the statements of operations for
the years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $659, $421 and $135, respectively.
B. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
----------------------
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to
estimate a value:
Bonds
For publicly traded securities, fair value is determined using an
independent pricing source. For securities without a readily ascertainable
fair value, fair value has been determined using an interest rate spread
matrix based upon quality, weighted average maturity, and Treasury yields.
Short-term Investments
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments.
Loans on Life Insurance Policies
Fair values for policy loans are estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses at interest rates currently offered for similar loans. Policy loans
with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the
calculations.
Cash
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet equals fair value.
Accrued Investment Income
Fair value on accrued investment income equals book value.
Funds left on Deposit
Funds on deposit which do not have fixed maturities are carried at the
amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS AND CASH VALUES
The following tables illustrate how the cash values and death benefits of a
Policy may change with the investment experience of the Fund. The tables show
how the cash values and death benefits of a Policy issued to an Insured of a
given age and specified underwriting risk classification who pays the given
premium at issue would vary over time if the investment return on the assets
held in each portfolio of the Funds were a uniform, gross, after-tax annual rate
of 0%, 6%, or 12%. The tables on pages 66 through 69 illustrate a Policy issued
to a male, age 35, under a Preferred rate non-smoker underwriting risk
classification. This policy provides for a standard smoker and non-smoker, and
preferred non-smoker classification and different rates for certain specified
amounts. The cash values and death benefits would be different from those shown
if the gross annual investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% over a
period of years, but fluctuated above and below those averages for individual
policy years, or if the Insured were assigned to a different underwriting risk
classification.
The second column of the tables shows the accumulated value of the premiums paid
at 5%. The following columns show the death benefits and the cash values for
uniform hypothetical rates of return shown in these tables. The tables on pages
66 and 68 are based on the current cost of insurance rates, current expense
deductions and the maximum percent of premium loads. These reflect the basis on
which AVLIC currently sells its Policies. The maximum allowable cost of
insurance rates under the Policy are based upon the 1980 Commissioner's Standard
Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker, Male and Female Mortality Tables. Since these
are recent tables and are split to reflect smoking habits and sex, the current
cost of insurance rates used by AVLIC are at this time equal to the maximum cost
of insurance rates for many ages. AVLIC anticipates reflecting future
improvements in actual mortality experience through adjustments in the current
cost of insurance rates actually applied. AVLIC also anticipates reflecting any
future improvements in expenses incurred by applying lower percent of premiums
of loads and other expense deductions. The death benefits and cash values shown
in the tables on pages 67 and 69 are based on the assumption that the maximum
allowable cost of insurance rates as described above and maximum allowable
expense deductions are made throughout the life of the Policy.
The amounts shown for the death benefits, surrender values and accumulation
values reflect the fact that the net investment return of the Subaccounts is
lower than the gross, after-tax return of the assets held in the Funds as a
result of expenses paid by the Fund and charges levied against the Subaccounts.
The values shown take into account an average of the daily management fee paid
by each portfolio available for investment (the equivalent to an annual rate of
..63% of the aggregate average daily net assets of the Fund), the other expenses
incurred by the Fund (.19%), and the daily charge by AVLIC to each Subaccount
for assuming mortality and expense risks (which is equivalent to a charge at an
annual rate of 0.90% for policy years 1-20 and 0.65% thereafter on pages 66 and
68 and at an annual rate of .90% on page 67 and 69 of the average net assets of
the Subaccounts). The Investment Advisor or other affiliates of the various
funds have agreed to reimburse the portfolios to the extent that the aggregate
operating expenses (certain portfolio's may exclude certain items) were in
excess of an annual rate of 1.00% for the High Income, Contrafund and Asset
Manager: Growth Portfolios, 1.50% for the Equity-Income, Growth and Overseas
Portfolios, .80% for the Investment Grade Bond Portfolio, 1.25% for the Asset
Manager Portfolio, .28% for the Index 500 Portfolio, 1.25% for the Alger
American Income and Growth and Alger American Balanced Portfolio; 1.50% for the
Alger American Small Capitalization, Alger American Mid-Cap Growth, Alger
American Leveraged All Cap, and Alger American Growth Portfolios, 1.00% for the
MFS Emerging Growth, MFS Utilities, and MFS World Governments Portfolios of
daily net assets. These agreements are expected to continue in future years. As
long as the expense limitations continue for a portfolio, if a reimbursement
occurs, it has the effect of lowering the portfolio's expense ratio and
increasing its total return. The illustrated gross annual investment rates of
return of 0%, 6%, and 12% were computed after deducting fund expenses and
correspond to approximate net annual rates of -1.72%, 4.28%, and 10.28%
respectively, for years 1-20 and -1.47%, 4.53% and 10.53% for the years
thereafter respectively, on pages 66 and 68 and -1.72%, 4.28%, and 10.28%
respectively, on pages 67 and 69.
The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any charges for
Federal Income tax burden attributable to the Account, since AVLIC is not
currently making such charges. However, such charges may be made in the future
and, in that event, the gross annual investment rate of return would have to
exceed 0 percent, 6 percent, or 12 percent by an amount sufficient to cover the
tax charges in order to produce the death benefits and values illustrated. (See
Federal Tax Matters, page 32).
The tables illustrate the policy values that would result based upon the
hypothetical investment rates of return if premiums are paid as indicated, if
all net premiums are allocated to the Account, and if no policy loans have been
made. The tables are also based on the assumptions that the policyowner has not
requested an increase or decrease in the initial Specified Amount, that no
partial withdrawals have been made, and that no more than fifteen transfers have
been made in any policy year so that no transfer charges have been incurred.
Illustrated values would be different if the proposed Insured were female, a
smoker, in substandard risk classification, or were another age, or if a higher
or lower premium was illustrated.
Upon request, AVLIC will provide comparable illustration based upon the proposed
Insured's age, sex and underwriting classification, the Specified Amount, the
death benefit option, and planned periodic premium schedule requested, and any
available riders requested. In addition, upon client request, illustrations may
be furnished reflecting allocation of premiums to specified Subaccounts. Such
illustrations will reflect the expenses of the portfolio in which the Subaccount
invests. In addition, upon client request, illustrations may be furnished
reflecting allocation of premiums to specified Subaccounts. Such illustrations
will reflect the expenses of the portfolio in which the Subaccount invests.

APPENDIX B
ILLUSTRATIONS OF RETIREMENT STRATEGIES
The following tables illustrate how the Policy can be used as a funding vehicle
for (non-qualified) retirement strategies for individuals. Ledger illustrations
are presented that show the effect on Accumulated Value (which is presented net
of Policy loans), Net Cash Surrender Value, and the death benefit (which is
presented net of Policy loans) of a Policy purchased to fund a private
retirement strategy, assuming that the Insured (and Owner) is a male nonsmoker,
Age 35 of the preferred underwriting class at the time of issuance, that the
annual premium of $6,000, that premiums and loan interest are paid when due, and
that death benefit Option B has been initially chosen. Ledger illustrations
portray Policies under the following circumstances:
1. Current cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate of return
of 0%;
2. Maximum allowable cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate
of return of 0%;
3. Current cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate of return
of 6%;
4. Maximum allowable cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate
of return of 6%;
5. Current cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate of return
of 8%;
6. Maximum allowable cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate
of return of 8%;
7. Current cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate of return
of 12%; and
8. Maximum allowable cost of insurance rates and a hypothetical gross rate
of return of 12%;
The ledger illustrations assume the Owner pays level premiums for 30 Policy
Years, then makes withdrawals until the policy lapses, or the amount withdrawn
equals the amount of premiums that have been paid, and thereafter, if
applicable, takes Policy loans. The amount of the withdrawals and Policy loans
that are taken each Policy Year was determined to provide variously the maximum
retirement income stream, consistent with maintaining Accumulated Value so that
the duration of the Policy would be until its Maturity Date, or until all
premiums paid had been withdrawn. Further, the ledger illustrations reflect the
same assumptions that are reflected in the Policy illustrations described on
pages 66 through 69 with respect to the net investment return of the Variable
Accounts the charges under the Policy, and the expenses of the Fund. The premium
amounts are different and the Death Benefit Options change at Age 65 from Option
B to Option A.
Policy values and benefits shown in the ledger illustrations would be different
if the gross annual investment rates of return were different from the
hypothetical rates portrayed, and if premiums and interest on loans were not
paid when due and if the premium amounts were different. Withdrawals or loans
may have an adverse effect on Policy benefits, and will affect earnings and
policy accumulation values.
Critical to the successful completion of the strategy is that the policy stay in
force and not lapse after loans are taken. Should the policy lapse while loans
are outstanding, the portion of the loans attributable to earnings will become
taxable distributions. The strategy assumes, and the Registrant suggests, that
the policyowner consult with his tax, financial, and other advisors prior to age
65 and at least annually thereafter to evaluate the policy accumulation value
and the policyowners needs and objectives in order to devise and effect a
flexible plan of withdrawals and loans.
The policyowner may before or during the distribution phase of the strategy
lower the risk of the policy lapsing with loans outstanding as a result of
reduction in the market value of investments by investing in a diversified group
of lower risk investment portfolios and/or transferring the funds to the fixed
account and receiving a guaranteed rate of return. Should a reduction in
investment return be experienced, the policyowner may need to lower anticipated
loans, repay loans, make additional premium payment or take other action to
avoid lapse. The policyowner will receive 61 days notice before any lapse would
occur.
Also presented below are charts showing an analysis of retirement strategies.
The charts present values under various retirement strategies including a
taxable investment, a qualified retirement plan, and a private retirement
strategy that is funded with a Policy. Values are shown during an accumulation
phase, under which an individual would invest for retirement, and a distribution
phase, under which an individual would receive retirement income. Values are
presented at hypothetical gross rates of return of 0%, 6%, 8%, and 12%. The
chart assumes a retirement strategy for a male, nonsmoker, preferred
underwriting class, Age 35 at the beginning of the first year in the
accumulation phase, a retirement Age of 65, and an income tax bracket of 31%.
Tax rates may vary for different taxpayers from the 31% used in the charts,
which would result in different values than those shown on the charts. Separate
charts present the private retirement strategy analysis based upon maximum
allowable and current cost of insurance rates.
The accumulation phase of the charts presents information on the effect of
taxation on contributions committed to the retirement strategies, by portraying
an amount allocated to retirement that is subject to income tax and the
resulting after-tax contribution. The charts assume that 100% of net
contributions are invested in the various investment strategies. Net rates of
return are portrayed that take into account the effects of taxation in the case
of the taxable investment and the charges under the Policy in the case of the
private retirement strategy. There are no management expenses and other charges
assumed for the taxable investment or the qualified plan. Most plans and
investments will have charges.
The distribution phase of the charts assumes that the after-tax amounts to be
distributed are the same for the taxable investment strategy and qualified plan
as they are for the private retirement strategy. The assumptions for the values
shown for the private retirement strategy are the same as the assumptions
reflected in the ledger illustrations described above.
The tables illustrate the policy values that would result based upon the
hypothetical investment rates of return if premiums are paid as indicated, if
all net premiums are allocated to the Account, and if no policy loans or partial
withdrawals have been made until age 65. The tables are also based on the
assumptions that the Policyowner has not requested an increase or decrease in
the initial Specified Amount, and that no more than fifteen transfers have been
made in any policy year so that no transfer charges have been incurred.
Illustrated values would be different if the proposed Insured were female, a
smoker, in substandard risk classification, or were another age, or if a higher
or lower premium was illustrated.

APPENDIX C
LONG TERM MARKET TRENDS
The information below covering the period of 1926-1995 is an examination of the
basic relationship between risk and return among the different asset classes,
and between nominal and real (inflation adjusted) returns. The information is
provided because the Policyowners have varied investment portfolios available
which have different investment objectives and policies. The chart generally
demonstrates how different classes of investments have performed during the
period. The study of asset returns provides a period long enough to include most
of the major types of events that investors have experienced in the past . This
is a historical record and is not intended as a projection of future
performance.
The graph depicts the growth of a dollar invested in common stocks, small
company stocks, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, and a hypothetical
asset returning the inflation rate over the period from the end of 1925 to the
end of 1995. All results assume reinvestment of dividends on stocks or coupons
on bonds and no taxes. Transaction costs are not included, except in the small
stock index starting in 1982. Charges associated with a variable insurance
policy are not reflected in the chart.
Each of the cumulative index values is initiated at $1.00 at year-end 1925. The
graph illustrates that common stocks and small stocks gained the most over the
entire 70-year period: investments of one dollar would have grown to $1,113.92
and $3,822.40 respectively, by year-end 1995. This growth, however, was earned
by taking substantial risk. In contrast, long-term government bonds (with an
approximate 20-year maturity), which exposed the holder to less risk, grew to
only $34.04. Note that the return and principal value of an investment in stocks
will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Prices of small company stocks
are generally more volatile than those of large company stocks. Government bonds
and Treasury Bills are guaranteed by the U.S. Government and, if held to
maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and a fixed principal value.
The lowest risk strategy over the past 70 years was to buy U.S. Treasury bills.
Since Treasury bills tended to track inflation, the resulting real
(inflation-adjusted) returns were near zero for the entire 1926-1995 period.
Omitted graph illustrates long term market trends as described in the narrative
above.

STANDARD & POOR'S 500
The Standard and Poor's (S & P 500) is a weighted index of 500 widely held
stocks: 400 Industrials, 40 Financial Company Stocks, 40 Public Utilities, and
20 Transportation stocks, most of which are traded on the New York Stock
Exchange. This information is provided because the Policyowners have varied
investment options available. The investment options, except the Fixed Account
and the Money Market Account, involve investments in the stock market. The S & P
500 is generally regarded as an accurate composite of the overall stock market.

UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore, or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
RULE 484 UNDERTAKING
AVLIC's By-laws provide as follows:
The Company shall indemnify any person who was, or is a party, or is threatened
to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, or employee of the Company or
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise, against expenses including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent authorized by the laws of
Nebraska.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
REPRESENTATIONS PURSUANT TO RULE 6e-3(T)
This filing is made pursuant to Rules 6c-3 and 6e-3(T) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
Registrant elects to be governed by Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(i)(A) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to the policy described in this
Prospectus.
Registrant makes the following representations:
1. Section 6e(T)(b)(13)(iii)(F) has been relied upon.
2. The level of the mortality and expense risk charges is reasonable in relation
to the risk assumed by the life insurer under the contract. The methodology
used to support this representation is based on an analysis of the mortality
and expense risks inherent in the contracts, including a new distribution
method, use of outside funds, use of a simplified application with modified
underwriting approach, flexibility of premiums and insurance features, and a
variety of other possible scenarios which may cause actual mortality and
expense experience to be greater than anticipated. Registrant undertakes to
keep and make available to the Commission on request the memorandum used to
support this representation.
3. Registrant has concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
distribution financing arrangement of the Account will benefit the Account
and policyowners and will keep and make available to the Commission on
request a memorandum setting forth the basis for the representation.
4. The Account will invest only in management investment companies which have
undertaken to have a board of directors, a majority of whom are not
interested persons of the company, formulate and approve any plan under Rule
12b-1 to finance distribution expenses.

Gentlemen:
With reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 14 on Form S-6 filed by Ameritas
Variable Life Insurance Company and Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company
Separate Account V with the Securities & Exchange Commission covering flexible
premium life insurance policies, I have examined such documents and such laws as
I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination, it
is my opinion that:
1. Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company is duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Nebraska and has been duly
authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of Nebraska to
issue variable life policies.
2. Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company Separate Account V is a duly
authorized and existing separate account established pursuant to the
provisions of Section 44-402.01 of the Statutes of the State of
Nebraska.
3. The flexible premium variable life policies, when issued as
contemplated by said Form S-6 Registration Statement, will constitute
legal, validly issued and binding obligations of Ameritas Variable Life
Insurance Company.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Post-Effective Amendment 14 to said Form S-6 Registration Statement and to the
use of my name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus contained in
the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/ Norman Krivosha

Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration by Ameritas
Variable Life Insurance Company of Nebraska of a flexible premium variable life
insurance policy ("Contract") under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus
included in Post-Effective Amendment No. 14 to Registration Statement No.
33-30019 on Form S-6 describes the Contract. The form of Contract was prepared
under my direction and I am familiar with the Registration Statement and
Exhibits thereto. This contract was developed and filed under Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 6E-3(T), as interpreted at this time by the SEC staff.
In my opinion:
The illustrations of death benefits and cash values included in the section
entitled "Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash Values" in the Appendices of
the prospectus, based on the assumptions stated in the illustrations, are
consistent with the provisions of the Contract. The rate structure of the
Contract has not been designed so as to make the relationship between premiums
and benefits, as shown in the illustrations, appear more favorable to
prospective purchasers of the Contract for male age 35, than to prospective
purchasers of the Contract for other ages or for females.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Post-Effective
Amendment 14 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to my name under
the heading "Experts" in the prospectus.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Thomas P. McArdle
