Definitions
We have tried to make this Prospectus as understandable as possible. However,
in explaining how the Policy works, we have had to use certain terms that have
special meanings. We define these terms below.
Account Value -- The total amount under the Policy in each Investment
Subdivision and the General Account.

years since the Policy Date.
Beneficiary -- The person or entity you designate to receive the death benefit
payable at the death of the Insured.
Continuation Amount -- A cumulative amount set forth on the Policy data pages
for each month of the Continuation Period representing the minimum Net Total
Premium required to keep the Policy in force during the Continuation Period.
Continuation Period -- The number of Policy years during which the Policy will
not lapse if the Net Total Premium is at least equal to the Continuation Amount
for the number of Policy Months that the Policy has been in force.

the Insured.
Fund -- Any open-end management investment company or unit investment trust in

which invest exclusively in a corresponding portfolio of a Fund. Not all
Investment Subdivisions may be available in all states or markets.
Life Insurance Proceeds -- The amount of proceeds determined under the
applicable death benefit option.

(a) is any outstanding Policy Debt, plus the sum of any partial surrenders

payments to you or a Beneficiary.

payable under the Accidental Death Benefit Rider or any proceeds payable under
the Policy or any additional term insurance rider on the Insured that would
expire within 24 months of the date we receive proof of terminal illness. We
will not adjust Total Proceeds for any Policy Debt, but we will make
adjustments for Total Proceeds for any misstatement of age or sex of a
terminally ill Insured.
Unit Value -- A unit of measure we use to calculate the Account Value for each
Investment Subdivision.
Valuation Day -- For each Investment Subdivision, each day on which the New
York Stock Exchange is open for business except for days that the Investment

Policy Summary
PREMIUMS
. You select a premium payment plan. You are not required to pay premiums
according to the plan, but may vary frequency and amount, within limits, and
can skip planned premiums. See Periodic Premium Plan.
. Premium amounts depend on the Insured's Age, sex (where applicable), risk
class, Specified Amount selected, and any supplemental benefit riders. See
Premiums.
. You may make unscheduled premium payments, within limits. See Premiums.
. Under certain circumstances, you may have to pay extra premiums to prevent
termination. See Premium to Prevent Termination.
DEDUCTION FROM PREMIUMS
. Currently, we deduct an 8% premium charge (10% maximum) from each premium
before we place it in an Investment Subdivision. We currently do not deduct
the maximum 10% premium charge but reserve the right to do so. We refer to
the premium minus the premium charge as a Net Premium. We do not assess a
premium charge against the policy loan portion of a premium received from the
rollover of a life insurance policy. See Premium Charge.
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS
. You allocate your Net Premiums among up to seven of the Investment
Subdivisions of Separate Account II at any given time. Until 1) the date we
approve the application, 2) the date we receive all necessary forms
(including any subsequent amendments to your application), and 3) the date we
receive the entire initial premium, we will place any premiums you pay in a
non-interest bearing account. We will then allocate your Net Premiums to the
Investment Subdivisions you designate or, for states that require the refund
of premiums during the free look period, we will allocate Net Premiums to the
Money Market Investment Subdivision for 15 days, then to Investment
Subdivisions you designate. We anticipate revising this allocation procedure
within the second or third quarter of 2000 to allow immediate allocation
during the free look period to the Investment Subdivisions you choose. The
actual practice will be set forth in your Policy. See Allocating Premiums.
. The Investment Subdivisions invest in corresponding portfolios of the
following Funds:

DEDUCTIONS FROM ASSETS
. Each Fund deducts management fees and other expenses from its assets. For the
year ended December 31, 1999, the minimum total annual expenses (as a
percentage of average net assets) was .30%, and the maximum total annual
expenses (as a percentage of average net assets) was 1.20%. See Portfolio
Annual Expenses.
. We deduct a daily mortality and expense risk charge at a current effective
annual rate of 0.70% (maximum effective annual rate of 0.70%) from assets in
the Investment Subdivisions.
. We make a monthly deduction from your Account Value for (1) the cost of
insurance, (2) a current monthly policy charge of $15 in the first Policy
Year ($15 per month maximum in the first Policy Year) and $6 per month
thereafter ($12 per month maximum after the first Policy Year), and (3)
supplemental benefit charges.
<PAGE>
The monthly deduction will also include the increase charge for the first
month following an increase in the Specified Amount. See Changing the
Specified Amount.
ACCOUNT VALUE
. Account Value equals the total amount in each Investment Subdivision and the
General Account.
. Account Value serves as the starting point for calculating certain values
under a Policy, such as the Surrender Value and the Life Insurance Proceeds.
Account Value varies from day to day to reflect investment experience of the
Investment Subdivisions, charges deducted and other Policy transactions (such
as Policy loans, transfers and partial surrenders). See How Your Account
Value Varies.
. You can transfer Account Value among the Investment Subdivisions. A $10
transfer processing fee applies to each transfer made after the first
transfer in a Policy month. See Transfers for rules and limits. Policy loans
reduce the amount available for allocations and transfers.
. There is no minimum guaranteed Account Value. During the Continuation Period,
the Policy will lapse if the Surrender Value is too low to cover the monthly
deduction and the Net Total Premium is less than the Continuation Amount.
After the Continuation Period, the Policy will lapse if the Surrender Value
is too low to cover the monthly deduction. See Premium to Prevent
Termination.
CASH BENEFITS
. You may take a Policy loan for up to 90% of the difference between Account
Value and any Surrender Charges, minus any Policy Debt. See Loans.
. You may partially surrender your Policy. The minimum partial surrender amount
is $500, and a processing fee equal to the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount
of the partial surrender will apply to each Partial Surrender. If you select
Option B, you may only make a partial surrender after the first Policy year.
See Partial Surrender.
. You can surrender your Policy at any time for its Surrender Value (Account
Value minus Policy Debt and minus any applicable surrender charge). A
surrender charge will apply during the first 15 Policy years or to Attained
Age 95 if earlier. See Surrenders and Surrender Charge.
. You may choose from a variety of payment options. See Requesting Payments.
DEATH BENEFITS
. The minimum Specified Amount available is $100,000.
10
<PAGE>
. You may choose from two death benefit options: Option A (greater of Specified
Amount plus Account Value, or a specified percentage of Account Value); or
Option B (greater of Specified Amount, or a specified percentage of Account
Value). See Death Benefits.
. A death benefit is payable as a lump sum or under a variety of payment
options.
. You may change the Specified Amount and the death benefit option. See
Changing the Specified Amount and Changing the Death Benefit Option for rules
and limits.
. During the Continuation Period, the Policy will remain in force regardless of
the sufficiency of Surrender Value so long as Net Total Premium is at least
equal to the Continuation Amount. See Premium to Prevent Termination.

certain other expenses (excluding management fees, taxes, interest,
brokerage fees, litigation, indemnification and other extraordinary
expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed 0.25% of each Fund's
respective average daily net assets. The Investment advisor may modify or
discontinue any of the limitations. Absent reimbursements, the expenses
during 1999 for Growth and Income Fund would have been total annual
expenses of 1.22%, consisting of .75% management fees and .47% other
expenses; and for Mid Cap Value Fund total annual expenses of 1.22%,
consisting of .80% management fees and .42% other expenses.
/6/ Janus Aspen Series expenses (except for the Global Technology and Global
Life Sciences Portfolios) are based upon expenses for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999, restated to reflect a reduction in the management fees
for Growth, Aggressive Growth, Capital Appreciation, International Growth,
Worldwide Growth, Balanced, and Income Portfolios. Expenses for Global
Technology and Global Life Sciences Portfolios are based on the estimated
expenses that those Portfolios expect to incur in their initial fiscal
year. All expenses are shown without the effect of expense offset
arrangements.
The 12b-1 fee deducted for the Janus Aspen Series (Service Shares) covers
certain distribution and shareholder support services provided by the
companies selling variable contracts investing in the Janus Aspen Series
portfolios. The 12b-1 fee assessed against the Janus Aspen Series (Service
Shares) held for the Policies will be remitted to Capital Brokerage
Corporation, the principal underwriter for the Policies.
/7/ Absent fee waivers, the total annual operating expenses of the portfolios
of PBHG Insurance Series Fund during 1999 for PBHG Large Cap Growth
Portfolio would have been of 1.17%, consisting of .75% management fees and
.42% other expenses.
/8/ Absent certain fee waivers or reimbursements, the total annual expenses of
the portfolios of Salomon Brothers Variable Series Fund during 1999 would
have been total annual expenses of 1.15% for Investors Fund, consisting of
.70% management fees and .45% other expenses; total annual expenses of
1.48%, consisting of .75% management fees and .73% other expenses for
Strategic Bond Fund; total annual expenses of 1.65%, consisting of .80%
management fees and .85% other fees for Total Return Fund.
The expense information regarding the Funds was provided by those Funds. We
have not independently verified this information. We cannot guarantee that the
reimbursements and fee waivers provided by certain of the Funds will continue.
OTHER POLICIES
We offer other variable life insurance policies which also invest in the same
portfolios of the Funds. These policies may have different charges that could
affect the value of the Investment Subdivisions and may offer different
benefits more suitable to your needs. To obtain more information about these
policies, contact your agent, or call (800) 352-9910.

Risk Summary
INVESTMENT RISK
Your Account Value is subject to the risk that investment performance will be
unfavorable and that your Account Value will decrease. Because we continue to
deduct charges from Account Value, if investment results are sufficiently
unfavorable and/or you stop making premium payments at or above the minimum
requirements, the Surrender Value of your Policy may fall to zero. In that
case, the Policy will terminate without value and insurance coverage will no
longer be in effect, unless you make an additional payment sufficient to
prevent a termination during the 61-day grace period. However, your Policy will
not lapse during the Continuation Period, even if your Surrender Value is too
low to cover the monthly deductions so long as the Net Total Premium is at
least equal to the Continuation Amount. On the other hand, if investment
experience is sufficiently favorable and you have kept the Policy in force for
a substantial time, you may be able to draw upon Account Value, through partial
surrenders and Policy loans.
RISK OF TERMINATION
If the Surrender Value of your Policy is too low to pay the Monthly Deduction
when due (and, during the Continuation Period, the Net Total Premium is less
than the Continuation Amount), the Policy will be in default and a grace period
will begin. There is a risk that if withdrawals, loans, and monthly deductions
reduce your Surrender Value to too low an amount and/or if the investment
experience of your selected Investment Subdivisions is unfavorable, then your
Policy could lapse. In that case, you will have a 61-day grace period to make a
sufficient payment. If you do not make a sufficient payment before the grace
period ends, your Policy will terminate without value, insurance coverage will
no longer be in effect, and you will receive no benefits. After termination,
you may reinstate your Policy within three years subject to certain conditions.
TAX RISKS
We intend for the Policy to satisfy the definition of a "life insurance
contract" under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). In general, earnings under the Policy will not be taxed until a
distribution is made from the Policy. In addition, death benefits generally
will be excludable from income. In the case of a Policy that is considered a
"modified endowment contract," special rules apply and a 10% penalty tax may be
imposed on distributions, including loans. See Special Rules for Modified
Endowment Contracts. You should consult a qualified tax advisor in all tax
matters involving your Policy.
LIMITS ON PARTIAL SURRENDERS
The Policy permits you to take partial surrenders. However, if you selected
Option B, you may only make partial surrenders after the first Policy year.
15
<PAGE>
The minimum partial surrender amount is $500, and we will assess a processing
fee on the surrender.
Partial surrenders will reduce your Account Value and Life Insurance Proceeds.
Federal income taxes and a penalty tax may apply to partial surrenders.
EFFECTS OF POLICY LOANS
A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will affect Account Value over time
because we subtract the amount of the loan from the Investment Subdivisions as
collateral. We then credit a fixed interest rate to the loan collateral. As a
result, the loan collateral does not participate in the investment results of
the Investment Subdivisions. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater
the effect is likely to be. Depending on the investment results of the
Investment Subdivisions, the effect could be favorable or unfavorable. A Policy
loan also reduces the death benefit payable.
A Policy loan could make it more likely that a Policy would terminate. There is
a risk if the loan reduces your Surrender Value to too low an amount and
investment experience is unfavorable, that the Policy will lapse, resulting in
adverse tax consequences. You must submit a sufficient payment during the grace
period to avoid the Policy's termination without value and the end of insurance
coverage.
COMPARISON WITH OTHER INSURANCE POLICIES
The Policy is similar in many ways to universal life insurance. As with
universal life insurance:
. the Owner pays premiums for insurance coverage on the Insured;
. the Policy provides for the accumulation of Surrender Value that is payable
if the Owner surrenders the Policy during the Insured's lifetime;
. and the Surrender Value may be substantially lower than the premiums paid.
However, the Policy differs from universal life insurance in that it permits
you to place your premium in the Investment Subdivisions. The amount and
duration of life insurance protection and of the Policy's Account Value will
vary with the investment performance of the Investment Subdivisions you select.
The Surrender Value of your Policy may decrease if the investment performance
of the Investment Subdivisions to which you allocate Account Value is
sufficiently adverse. If the Surrender Value becomes insufficient to cover
charges when due and the Continuation Period is not in effect, the Policy will
terminate without value after a grace period.

GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company
We are a stock life insurance company operating under a charter granted by the
Commonwealth of Virginia on March 21, 1871. We principally offer life insurance
and annuity policies. We may do business in 49 states and the District of
Columbia. Our principal offices are at 6610 West Broad Street, Richmond,
Virginia 23230. Before January 1, 1999, our name was The Life Insurance Company
of Virginia.
General Electric Capital Assurance Company ("GE Capital Assurance") owns the
majority of our capital stock, and Federal Home Life Insurance Company
("Federal") and Phoenix Group Holdings, Inc. own the remainder. GE Capital
Assurance and Federal are indirectly owned by GE Financial Assurance Holdings,
Inc. which is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric Capital Corporation
("GE Capital"). GE Capital, a New York corporation, is a diversified financial
services company whose subsidiaries consist of specialty insurance, equipment
management, and commercial and consumer financing businesses. GE Capital's
indirect parent, General Electric Company, founded more than one hundred years
ago by Thomas Edison, is the world's largest manufacturer of jet engines,
engineering plastics, medical diagnostic equipment, and large electric power
generation equipment.
GNA Corporation, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of GE Financial Assurance
Holdings, Inc., directly owns the stock of Capital Brokerage Corporation (the
principal underwriter for the Policies and a broker/dealer registered with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission).
We are a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association ("IMSA"). We
may use the IMSA membership logo and language in our advertisements, as
outlined in IMSA's Marketing and Graphics Guidelines. Companies that belong to
IMSA subscribe to a set of ethical standards covering the various aspects of
sales and service for individually sold life insurance and annuities.
STATE REGULATION
We are subject to regulation by the State Corporation Commission of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. We file an annual statement with the Virginia
Commissioner of Insurance on or before March 1 of each year covering our
operations and reporting on our financial condition as of December 31 of the
preceding year. Periodically, the Commissioner of Insurance examines our
liabilities and reserves and those of Separate Account II and assesses their
adequacy, and a full examination of our operations is conducted by the State
Corporation Commission, Bureau of Insurance of the Commonwealth of Virginia, at
least every five years.
We are also subject to the insurance laws and regulation of other states within
which we are licensed to operate.

<PAGE>
Separate Account II
We established GE Life & Annuity Separate Account II ("Separate Account II") as
a separate investment account on August 21, 1986. Separate Account II currently
has forty-three Investment Subdivisions available under the Policy. Each
Investment Subdivision invests exclusively in shares representing an interest
in a separate corresponding portfolio of one of the eleven Funds described
below.
The assets of Separate Account II belong to us. However, we may not charge the
assets in Separate Account II attributable to the Policies with liabilities
arising out of any other business which we may conduct. If Separate Account
II's assets exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer
the excess to our General Account. Income and both realized and unrealized
gains or losses from the assets of Separate Account II are credited to or
charged against Separate Account II without regard to the income, gains or
losses arising out of any other business we may conduct.
Separate Account II is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and meets the definition of
a separate account under the Federal securities laws. Registration with the SEC
does not involve supervision of the management or investment practices or
policies of Separate Account II by the SEC.
CHANGES TO SEPARATE ACCOUNT II
Separate Account II may include other Investment Subdivisions that are not
available under the Policy. We may substitute another investment subdivision or
insurance company separate account under the Policy if, in our judgment,
investment in a Investment Subdivision should no longer be possible or becomes
inappropriate to the purposes of the Policies, or if investment in another
investment subdivision or insurance company separate account is in the best
interest of Owners. The new Investment Subdivisions may be limited to certain
classes of Policies, and the new portfolios may have higher fees and charges
then the portfolios they replaced. No substitution may take place without prior
notice to Owners and prior approval of the SEC and insurance regulatory
authorities, to the extent required by the 1940 Act and applicable law.
We may also, where permitted by law:
. create new separate accounts;
. combine separate accounts, including Separate Account II;
. transfer assets of Separate Account II, which we determine to be associated
with the class of Policies to which this Policy belongs, to another separate
account;
. add new Investment Subdivisions or remove Investment Subdivisions from
Separate Account II, or combine Investment Subdivisions;
18
<PAGE>
. make the Investment Subdivisions available under other policies we issue;
. add new funds or remove existing Funds;
. substitute new Funds for any existing Fund which we determine is no longer
appropriate in light of the purposes of the Separate Account;
. deregister Separate Account II under the 1940 Act; and
. operate Separate Account II under the direction of a committee or in another
form.

<PAGE>
The Portfolios
You decide the Investment Subdivisions to which you direct Net Premiums. You
may change your premium allocation without penalty or charges. There is a
separate Investment Subdivision which corresponds to each portfolio of a Fund
offered in this Policy.
Each Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-
end management investment company under the 1940 Act. The assets of each
portfolio are separate from other portfolios of a Fund and each portfolio has
separate investment objectives and policies. As a result, each portfolio
operates as a separate portfolio and the investment performance of one
portfolio has no effect on the investment performance of any other portfolio.
Before choosing an Investment Subdivision to allocate your Net Premiums and
Account Value, carefully read the prospectus for each Fund, along with this
Prospectus. We summarize the investment objectives of each portfolio below.
There is no assurance that any of the portfolios will meet these objectives.
The investment objectives and policies of certain portfolios are similar to the
investment objectives and policies of other portfolios that may be managed by
the same investment adviser or manager. The investment results of the
portfolios, however, may be higher or lower than the results of such other
portfolios. There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that the
investment results of any of the portfolios will be comparable to the
investment results of any other portfolio, even if the other portfolio has the
same investment adviser or manager, or if the other portfolio has a similar
name.
INVESTMENT SUBDIVISIONS
We offer you a choice from among 43 Investment Subdivisions, each of which
invests in an underlying portfolio of one of the Funds. You may invest in up to
seven Investment Subdivisions at any one time.

Not all of these portfolios may be available in all states or markets.
We will purchase shares of the portfolios at net asset value and direct them to
the appropriate Investment Subdivisions of Separate Account II. We will redeem
sufficient shares of the appropriate portfolios at net asset value to pay
surrender/partial surrender proceeds or for other purposes described in the
Policy. We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gain distributions
of the portfolios in shares of the distributing portfolios at their net asset
value on the date of distribution. In other words, we do not pay portfolio
dividends or portfolio distributions out to Owners as additional units, but
instead reflect them in unit values.
Shares of the portfolios of the Funds are not sold directly to the general
public. They are sold to us and may be sold to other insurance companies that
issue variable annuity and variable life insurance policies. In addition, they
may be sold to retirement plans.
When a Fund sells shares in any of its portfolios both to variable annuity and
to variable life insurance separate accounts, it engages in mixed funding. When
a Fund sells shares in any of its portfolios to separate accounts of
unaffiliated life insurance companies, it engages in shared funding.
Each Fund may engage in mixed and shared funding. Therefore, due to differences
in redemption rates or tax treatment, or other considerations, the interests of
various shareholders participating in a Fund could conflict. A Fund's Board of
Directors will monitor for the existence of any material conflicts, and
determine what action, if any, should be taken. See the Prospectuses for the
Funds.
We have entered into agreements with either the investment adviser or
distributor of each of the Funds under which the adviser or distributor pays us
a fee ordinarily based upon an annual average percentage of the average
aggregate net amount we have invested on behalf of Account II and other
separate accounts. The amounts we
28
<PAGE>
receive under these agreements may be significant. These percentages differ,
and some investment advisers or distributors pay us a greater percentage than
other advisors or distributors. The amounts we receive under these agreements
may be significant. In addition, our affiliate, Capital Brokerage Corporation,
the principal underwriter for the Policies, will receive 12b-1 fees deducted
from portfolio assets for providing distribution and shareholder services to
the portfolios.
YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE PORTFOLIO SHARES
As required by law, we will vote the portfolio shares held in Separate Account
II at meetings of the shareholders of the Funds. The voting will be done
according to the instructions of Owners who have interests in any Investment
Subdivisions which invest in the portfolios of the Funds. If the 1940 Act or
any regulation under it should be amended, and if as a result we determine that
we are permitted to vote the portfolios' shares in our own right, we may elect
to do so.
We will determine the number of votes which you have the right to cast by
applying your percentage interest in an Investment Subdivision to the total
number of votes attributable to the Investment Subdivision. In determining the
number of votes, we will recognize fractional shares.
We will vote portfolio shares of a class held in an Investment Subdivision for
which we received no timely instructions in proportion to the voting
instructions which we received for all Policies participating in that
Investment Subdivision. We will apply voting instructions to abstain on any
item to be voted on a pro-rata basis to reduce the number of votes eligible to
be cast.
Whenever a Fund calls a shareholders meeting, each person having a voting
interest in an Investment Subdivision will receive proxy material, reports and
other materials relating to the portfolio. Since each portfolio may engage in
shared funding, other persons or entities besides the Company may vote
portfolio shares.

<PAGE>
Charges and Deductions
This section describes the charges and deductions we make under the Policy to
compensate us for the services and benefits we provide, costs and expenses we
incur, and risks we assume. The services and benefits we provide include:
. the partial surrender, surrender, Policy loan and death benefits under the
Policy;
. investment options, including Net Premium allocations, dollar-cost averaging
and portfolio rebalancing programs;
. administration of various elective options under the Policy; and
. the distribution of various reports to Owners.
The costs and expenses we incur include:
. those associated with underwriting applications, increases in Specified
Amount, and riders;
. various overhead and other expenses associated with providing the services
and benefits provided by the Policy;
. sales and marketing expenses; and
. other costs of doing business, such as Federal, state and local premium and
other taxes and fees.
The risks we assume include:
. that Insureds may live for a shorter period of time than estimated, resulting
in the payment of greater death benefits than expected; and
. that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Policies will
exceed the charges deducted.
We may profit from any charges deducted, such as the mortality and expense risk
charge. We may use any such profits for any purpose, including payment of
distribution expenses.
PREMIUM CHARGE
We currently deduct an 8% charge (10% maximum) from each premium before placing
the resulting Net Premium in the Investment Subdivisions. We currently do not
deduct the maximum 10% premium charge but reserve the right to do so. We will
not assess the premium charge against the Policy loan portion of a premium
received from the rollover of a life insurance Policy.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We currently deduct a daily charge from assets in the Investment Subdivisions
attributable to the Policies at an effective annual rate of 0.70% of net
assets. We will not increase this charge for the duration of your Policy. This
charge is factored into the net investment factor.
30
<PAGE>
The mortality risk we assume is the risk that Insureds may live for a shorter
period of time than estimated and, therefore, a greater amount of death benefit
proceeds than expected will be payable. The expense risk we assume is that
expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policies will be greater
than estimated and, therefore, will exceed the expense charge limits set by the
Policies.
MONTHLY DEDUCTION
We make a monthly deduction on the Policy Date and each Monthly Anniversary Day
from Account Value. The monthly deduction for each Policy consists of:
. the cost of insurance charge (discussed below);
. a current monthly policy charge of $15 in the first Policy year ($15 per
month maximum in the first Policy year) and $6 per month thereafter ($12 per
month maximum after the first Policy year); and
. any charges for additional benefits added by riders to the Policy (See
Supplemental Benefits).
If an increase in Specified Amount becomes effective, there will be a one-time
charge (per increase) of $1.50 per $1,000 of increase included in the monthly
deduction (it cannot exceed $300 per increase). See Changing the Specified
Amount.
We will allocate the monthly deduction for a Policy Month among the Investment
Subdivisions of Separate Account II in the same proportion that your Policy's
Account Value in each Subdivision bears to the total Account Value in all
Investment Subdivisions at the beginning of the Policy Month.
COST OF INSURANCE
The cost of insurance is a significant charge under your Policy because it is
the primary charge for the death benefit we provide you. The cost of insurance
charge depends on a number of factors (Age, sex, Policy duration, and risk
class) that cause the charge to vary from Policy to Policy and from Monthly
Anniversary Day to Monthly Anniversary Day. We will determine the risk class
(and therefore the rates) separately for the initial Specified Amount and for
any increase in Specified Amount that requires evidence of insurability.
We calculate the cost of insurance on each Monthly Anniversary Day based on
your net amount at risk. We determine your net amount at risk by the following
formula:
Life
Insurance
Proceeds
-------------- - Account Value
1.0032737
To determine your cost of insurance for a particular Policy Month, we divide
your net amount at risk by 1000 and multiply that result by the applicable cost
of insurance rate. If Option B is in effect, and the Specified Amount has
increased, we first
31
<PAGE>
consider the Account Value part of the initial Specified Amount. If the Account
Value is more than the initial Specified Amount, we will consider it part of
the increased Specified Amounts resulting from increases in the order of the
increases.
The cost of insurance rate for the Insured is based on his or her Age, sex and
applicable risk class. We currently place Insureds in the following risk
classes when we issue the Policy, based on our underwriting: a male or female
or unisex risk class where appropriate under applicable law (currently
including the State of Montana); and a smoker or non smoker risk class. In
addition, some Insureds may qualify for a preferred rating. The original risk
class applies to the initial Specified Amount. If an increase in Specified
Amount is approved, a different risk class may apply to the increase, based on
the Insured's circumstances at the time of the increase.
We may change the cost of insurance rates from time to time at our sole
discretion, but we guarantee that the rates we charge will never exceed the
maximum rates shown in your Policy. These rates are based on the Commissioners'
1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The maximum cost of insurance rates
are based on the Insured's age nearest birthday at the start of the Policy
Year. Modifications to cost of insurance rates are made for risk classes other
than standard. The rates we currently charge are, at most ages, lower than the
maximum permitted under the Policies and depend on our expectation of future
experience with respect to mortality, interest, expenses, persistency, and
taxes. A change in rates will apply to all persons of the same age, sex (where
applicable), and risk class and whose Policies have been in effect for the same
length of time.
In most states, there is no maturity age, and the cost of insurance charges
will continue past age 100.
32
<PAGE>
SURRENDER CHARGE
If you fully surrender your Policy during the surrender charge period, we will
deduct a surrender charge. We calculate the surrender charge by multiplying a
factor times the lowest Specified Amount in effect before the surrender,
divided by 1000. The factor depends on the issue Age, sex (where applicable),
and risk class of the Insured. The surrender charge remains level for the first
five Policy years and then decreases each Policy month to zero over the next 10
Policy years or at Age 95, whichever is earlier. We will deduct the surrender
charge before we pay the Surrender Value.
The chart below lists the minimum and maximum surrender charges per Policy
year. Your surrender charge will depend on the applicable factor and the Policy
year in which you surrender your Policy.

If you decrease the Specified Amount to less than the lowest Specified Amount
that had previously been in effect (other than as a result of partial
surrenders or changes in death benefit options), you will also incur a
surrender charge. The amount of surrender charge will equal the charge for a
full surrender multiplied by the ratio of (a) to (b), where:
(a) is the lowest Specified Amount that was in effect before the current
decrease, minus the Specified Amount after the current decrease; and
(b) is the lowest Specified Amount that was in effect before the current
decrease.
We disclose the surrender charges on the data pages to your Policy. Upon
request, we will illustrate the surrender charges that apply to your Policy.
33
<PAGE>
We do not assess a surrender charge for partial surrenders, but do assess a
processing fee.
PARTIAL SURRENDER PROCESSING FEE
We deduct a partial surrender processing fee on partial surrenders you make.
The fee equals the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount surrendered.
TRANSFER CHARGE
We assess a $10 transfer charge for each transfer after the first transfer you
make in any calendar month. This charge is at cost with no profit to us. We
take this charge from the amount you transfer. For purposes of assessing this
charge, we consider each transfer request one transfer, regardless of the
number of Investment Subdivisions affected by the transfer. Multiple transfers
within the same Valuation Period are also considered one transfer for this
purpose.
OTHER CHARGES
We will provide a projection of illustrative future life insurance and Account
Value proceeds. We reserve the right to charge a maximum fee of $25 for the
cost of preparing the projection. This is a projection and does not predict or
guarantee performance.
There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of each portfolio
that are more fully described in each Fund's prospectus.
REDUCTION OF CHARGES FOR GROUP SALES
We may reduce charges and/or deductions for sales of the Policies to a trustee,
employer or similar entity representing a group or to members of the group
where such sales result in savings of sales or administrative expenses. We will
base these discounts on the following:
1. The size of the group. Generally, the sales expenses for each individual
owner for a larger group are less than for a smaller group because more
Policies can be implemented with fewer sales contacts and less
administrative cost.
2. The total amount of premium payments to be received from a group. Per Policy
sales and other expenses are generally proportionately less on larger
premium payments than on smaller ones.
3. The purpose for which the Policies are purchased. Certain types of plans are
more likely to be stable than others. Such stability reduces the number of
sales contacts and administrative and other services required, reduces sales
administration and results in fewer Policy terminations. As a result, our
sales and other expenses are reduced.
34
<PAGE>
4. The nature of the group for which the Policies are purchased. Certain types
of employee and professional groups are more likely to continue Policy
participation for longer periods than are other groups with more mobile
membership. If fewer Policies are terminated in a given group, our sales and
other expenses are reduced.
5. Other circumstances. There may be other circumstances of which we are not
presently aware, which could result in reduced sales expenses.
If, after we consider the factors listed above, we determine that a group
purchase would result in reduced sales expenses, we may reduce the charges
and/or deductions for each group. Reductions in these charges and/or deductions
will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected
Owners and all other owners of Policies funded by Separate Account II.
We may also reduce charges and/or deductions for sales of the Policies to
registered representatives who sell the Policies to the extent we realize
savings of sales and administrative expenses. Any such reduction in charges
and/or deductions will be consistent with the standards we use in determining
the reduction in charges and/or deductions for other group arrangements.
35
<PAGE>
The Policy
APPLYING FOR A POLICY
To purchase a Policy, you must complete an application and you or your
registered representative must submit it to us at our Home Office. You also
must pay an initial premium of a sufficient amount. See Premiums, below. You
can submit your initial premium with your application or at a later date. (If
you submit your initial premium with your application, please remember that we
will place your premium in a non-interest bearing account for a certain amount
of time. See Allocating Premiums.) Coverage generally becomes effective as of
the Policy Date.
Generally, we will issue a Policy covering an Insured up to Age 85 if evidence
of insurability satisfies our underwriting rules. Required evidence of
insurability may include, among other things, a medical examination of the
Insured. We may, in our sole discretion, issue a Policy covering an Insured
over Age 85. We may reject an application for any lawful reason.
If you do not pay the full first premium with your application, the insurance
will become effective on the effective date. This date is the date that you pay
your premium and that we deliver your Policy. All persons proposed for
insurance must be insurable on the Policy Date.
If you pay the full first premium with your application, we may give you a
conditional receipt. This means that, subject to our underwriting requirements
and subject to a maximum limitation, your insurance will become effective on
the effective date we specified in the conditional receipt, provided the
Insured is found to be, on the effective date, insurable at standard premium
rates for the plan and amount of insurance requested in the application. This
effective date will be the latest of (i) the date of completion of the
application, (ii) the date of completion of all medical exams and tests we
require, and (iii) the policy date you requested when that date is later than
the date you completed your application.
OWNER
You have rights in the Policy during the Insured's lifetime. If you die before
the Insured and there is no contingent Owner, ownership will pass to your
estate.
BENEFICIARY
You designate the primary Beneficiaries and contingent Beneficiaries when you
apply for the Policy. You may name one or more primary Beneficiaries or
contingent Beneficiaries. We will pay the proceeds in equal shares to the
survivors in the appropriate Beneficiary class, unless you request otherwise.
Unless an optional payment plan is chosen, we will pay the death proceeds in a
lump sum to the primary Beneficiary(ies). If the primary Beneficiary(ies) dies
before the Insured, we will pay the proceeds to the contingent
Beneficiary(ies). If there is no surviving Beneficiary(ies) we will pay the
proceeds to you or your estate.
36
<PAGE>
CHANGING THE BENEFICIARY
If you reserve the right, you may change the Beneficiary during the Insured's
life. To make this change, please write our Home Office. The request and the
change must be in a form satisfactory to us and we must actually receive the
request. The change will take effect as of the date you signed the request.
CANCELING A POLICY
You may cancel a Policy during the "free-look period" by returning it to us at
our Home Office, or to the agent who sold it. The free-look period expires 10
days after you receive the Policy. The free-look period is longer if required
by state law. If you decide to cancel the Policy during the free-look period,
we will treat the Policy as if it had never been issued. Within seven calendar
days after we receive the returned Policy, we will refund an amount equal to
the sum of:
. the total amount of monthly deductions made against Account Value and any
charges deducted from premiums paid; plus
. the Account Value on the date we (or our agent) receive the returned Policy.
If any state law prohibits the calculation above, we will refund the total of
all premiums paid for the Policy, or other amount as required under state law.
37
<PAGE>
Premiums
GENERAL
The premium amounts sufficient to fund a Policy depend on a number of factors,
such as the Age, sex (where applicable), and risk class of the proposed
Insured, the desired Specified Amount, any supplemental benefits, and
investment performance of the Investment Subdivisions. We will usually credit
your initial premium payment to the Policy on the later of the date we approve
your application and the date we received your payment. We will credit any
subsequent premium payment to the Policy on the Valuation Day we receive it at
our Home Office. After you pay the initial premium, you may make unscheduled
premium payments in any amount and at any time subject to certain restrictions.
The total premiums you pay may not exceed guideline premium limitations for
life insurance set forth in the Code and shown in your Policy. We may reject
any premium, or any portion of a premium, that would result in the Policy being
disqualified as life insurance under the Code. We will refund any rejected
premium along with any interest it accrued. For your convenience, we will
monitor Policies and will attempt to notify you on a timely basis if your
Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a Modified Endowment Contract ("MEC") under
the Code. See Tax Considerations.
We reserve the right to limit the number and amount of any unscheduled premium
payment.
TAX FREE EXCHANGES (1035 EXCHANGES)
We will accept as part of your initial premium money from one contract that
qualified for a tax-free exchange under Section 1035 of the Code. If you
contemplate such an exchange, you should consult a competent tax advisor to
learn the potential tax effects of such a transaction. We will accept 1035
exchanges even if there is an outstanding loan on the other policy, so long as
the outstanding is no more than 40% of the rollover premium. We may allow a
higher loan percentage. Replacing your existing coverage with this Policy may
not be to your advantage.
CERTAIN INTERNAL EXCHANGES
If you replace an existing GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company fixed
permanent life insurance policy with this Policy, we may waive some or all of
the surrender charge on the fixed permanent life insurance policy, provided
that: 1) the fixed permanent life insurance policy has a positive surrender
value at the time of the exchange; and 2) the entire account value in the fixed
permanent life insurance policy is rolled over into the Policy.
If you qualify, the maximum amount of surrender charge we will waive on the
fixed permanent life insurance policy is equal to: Surrender Charge (new) + .08
Account Value, where Surrender Charge (new) is the initial (first policy month)
surrender charge of this Policy and Account Value is the account value of the
fixed permanent life insurance policy at the time of the exchange. Please
contact us for more details.
38
<PAGE>
PERIODIC PREMIUM PLAN
PERIODIC PREMIUM PLAN
When you apply for a Policy, you may select a periodic premium payment plan.
Under this plan, you may choose to receive a premium notice either annually,
semi-annually, or quarterly. You can also arrange for annual, semi-annual,
quarterly or monthly premium payments paid via automatic deduction from your
bank account or any other similar account we accept. You are not required to
pay premiums in accordance with this premium plan; you can pay more or less
than planned or skip a planned premium payment entirely. Subject to our
administrative servicing guidelines, you can change the amount of planned
premiums or switch between frequencies, whenever you want by providing
satisfactory instructions to our Home Office. Any change will be effective upon
our receipt of the instructions. Depending on the Account Value at the time of
an increase in the Specified Amount and the amount of the increase requested, a
change in your periodic premium payments may be advisable. See Changing the
Specified Amount.
MINIMUM PREMIUM PAYMENT
Generally, the minimum amount of premium we will accept in connection with a
periodic premium payment plan is $20 ($15 for payments made via automatic
deduction from your bank or similar account). Please keep in mind that you may
have to pay a higher amount to keep the Policy in force. Even if you pay the
minimum premium amount, your Policy may lapse. See Premium to Prevent
Termination. For purposes of the minimum premium payment requirements, we deem
any payment to be a planned periodic premium if we receive it within 30 days
(before or after) of the scheduled date for a planned periodic premium payment
and the percentage difference between the planned amount and the actual payment
amount is not more than 10%. We will deem all other premium payments to be
unscheduled premium payments. Unless you direct us otherwise, we apply
unscheduled premium payments first to repay any Policy Debt.
ALLOCATING PREMIUMS
Until we approve your application, receive all necessary forms including any
subsequent amendments to the application, and receive the entire initial
premium, we will place any premiums you pay into a non-interest bearing
account. We will then allocate your Net Premium during the free look period as
specified below.
During the free look period, we generally will allocate Net Premiums to the
Investment Subdivisions based on the Net Premium allocation percentages you
specified in your application. However, for states requiring the refund of
premiums during the free look period, we will allocate all Net Premiums to the
Investment Subdivision investing in the Money Market Fund of GE Investments
Funds. Fifteen days following this
39
<PAGE>
allocation, we will transfer the Account Value to the Investment Subdivisions
based on the Net Premium allocation percentages you selected. We anticipate
revising this allocation procedure within the second or third quarter of 2000
to allow immediate allocation during the free look period to the Investment
Subdivisions you choose. The actual practice will be set forth in your policy.
Under the revised procedure, once we have issued your Policy, we will allocate
your Net Premium directly to the Investment Subdivisions you chose. See How
Your Account Value Varies.
40
<PAGE>
How Your Account Value Varies
ACCOUNT VALUE
The Account Value is the entire amount we hold under your Policy for you. The
Account Value serves as a starting point for calculating certain values under a
Policy. It is the sum of the total amount under the Policy in each Investment
Subdivision and the amount held in the General Account to secure Policy Debt.
See Loan Benefits. We determine Account Value first on your Policy Date (or on
the date we receive your initial premium, if later) and after that on each
Valuation Day. Your Account Value will vary to reflect the performance of the
Investment Subdivisions to which you have allocated amounts and also will vary
to reflect Policy Debt, charges for monthly deduction and mortality and expense
risk charge, transfers, partial surrenders, Policy loan interest, and Policy
loan repayments. Your Account Value may be more or less than the premiums you
paid.
SURRENDER VALUE
The Surrender Value on a Valuation Day is the Account Value reduced by both any
surrender charge that we would deduct if you surrendered the Policy that day
and any Policy Debt.
INVESTMENT SUBDIVISION VALUES
On any Valuation Day, the value of an Investment Subdivision equals the number
of Investment Subdivision units we credit to the Policy multiplied by the Unit
Value for that day. When you make allocations to an Investment Subdivision,
either by Net Premium allocation, transfer of Account Value, transfer of loan
interest from the General Account, or repayment of a Policy loan, we credit
your Policy with units in that Investment Subdivision. We determine the number
of units by dividing the amount allocated, transferred or repaid to the
Investment Subdivision by the Investment Subdivision's Unit Value for the
Valuation Day when we effect the allocation, transfer or repayment.
The number of units we credit to a Policy will decrease whenever we take the
allocated portion of the monthly deduction, you take a Policy loan or a partial
surrender from the Investment Subdivision, you transfer an amount from the
Investment Subdivision, you take a partial surrender from the Investment
Subdivision, or you surrender the Policy.
UNIT VALUES
We arbitrarily set the unit value for each Investment Subdivision at $10 when
we established the Investment Subdivision. After that, an Investment
Subdivision's Unit Value varies to reflect the investment experience of the
underlying portfolio, and may increase or decrease from one Valuation Day to
the next. We determine Unit Value, after an Investment Subdivision's operations
begin, by multiplying the net investment factor for that Valuation Period by
the Unit Value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.
41
<PAGE>
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor for a Valuation Period is (a) divided by (b), minus
(c), where:
(a) is the result of:
1. the value of the assets at the end of the preceding Valuation period;
plus
2. the investment income and capital gains, realized or unrealized, credited
to those assets at the end of the Valuation Period for which the net
investment factor is being determined; minus
3. the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged against those assets
during the Valuation Period; minus
4. any amount charged against the Separate Account for taxes, or any amount
we set aside during the Valuation Period as a provision for taxes
attributable to the operation or maintenance of the Separate Account; and
(b) is the value of the assets in the Investment Subdivision at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period; and
(c) is a charge no greater than .0019246% for each day in the Valuation Period.
This corresponds to .70% per year.
42
<PAGE>
Transfers
GENERAL
You may transfer Account Value among the Investment Subdivisions at any time
after the end of the free look period. Once we charge our allocation procedure
(See Allocating Premiums) we will permit you to make transfers during the free
look period. The actual practice will be set forth in your policy. Transfer
requests may be made in writing or in any other form acceptable to us. A
transfer will take effect as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we
receive your request at our Home Office.
We may defer transfers under the same conditions that we may delay paying
proceeds. See Requesting Payments. Currently, there is no limit on the number
of transfers among the Investment Subdivisions, but we reserve the right to
limit the number of transfers to twelve each calendar year. We reserve the
right to modify, restrict, suspend or eliminate the transfer privileges,
including telephone transfer privileges, at any time, for any reason. There is
a charge after the first transfer made in a calendar month. See Transfer
Charge.
We also may not honor transfers made by third parties. (See Transfers by Third
Parties.)
When thinking about a transfer of Account Value, you should consider the
inherent risk involved. Frequent transfers based on short-term expectations may
increase the risk that you will make a transfer at an inopportune time.
DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING
The dollar-cost averaging program permits you to systematically transfer on a
monthly or quarterly basis a set dollar amount from the Investment Subdivision
investing in the Money Market portfolio of the GE Investments Funds (the "Money
Market Investment Subdivision") to any combination of other Investment
Subdivisions (as long as the total number of Investment Subdivisions used does
not exceed the maximum number allowed under the Policy). The dollar-cost
averaging method of investment is designed to reduce the risk of making
purchases only when the price of units is high, but you should carefully
consider your financial ability to continue the program over a long enough
period of time to purchase units when their value is low as well as when it is
high. Dollar-cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
You may participate in the dollar-cost averaging program by selecting the
program on your application, completing a dollar-cost averaging agreement, or
calling our Home Office. To use the dollar-cost averaging program, you must
transfer at least $100 from the Money Market Investment Subdivision to any
other Investment Subdivision. If any transfer would leave less than $100 in the
Money Market Investment Subdivision, we will transfer the entire amount. Once
elected, dollar-cost averaging
43
<PAGE>
remains in effect from the date we receive your request until the value of the
Investment Subdivision from which transfers are being made is depleted, or
until you cancel the program by written request or by telephone if we have your
telephone authorization on file. The dollar-cost averaging program will begin
on the 5th day of the month immediately following the allocation of your Net
Premiums to the Investment Subdivisions (see "Allocating Premiums" for a
description of when this occurs).
There is no additional charge for dollar-cost averaging, and we do not consider
a transfer under this program a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer
charge, nor for calculating any limit on the maximum number of transfers we may
impose for a calendar year. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the
dollar-cost averaging program at any time and for any reason.
PORTFOLIO REBALANCING
Once you allocate your money among the Investment Subdivisions, the performance
of each Investment Subdivision may cause your allocation to shift. You may
instruct us to automatically rebalance (on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual
basis) your Account Value to return to the percentages specified in your
allocation instructions. You may elect to participate in the portfolio
rebalancing program at any time by completing the portfolio rebalancing
agreement. Your percentage allocations must be in whole percentages. Subsequent
changes to your percentage allocations may be made at any time by writing or
calling our Home Office. Once elected, portfolio rebalancing remains in effect
from the date we receive your request until you instruct us to discontinue
portfolio rebalancing. There is no additional charge for using portfolio
rebalancing, and we do not consider a portfolio rebalancing transfer a transfer
for purposes of assessing a transfer charge, nor for calculating any limit on
the maximum number of transfers we may impose for a calendar year. We reserve
the right to discontinue or modify the portfolio rebalancing program at any
time and for any reason. Portfolio rebalancing does not guarantee a profit or
protect against a loss.
TRANSFERS BY THIRD PARTIES
As a general rule and as a convenience to you, we allow you to give a third
party the right to effect transfers on your behalf. However, when the same
third party makes transfers for many Owners, the result can be simultaneous
transfers involving large amounts of Account Value. Such transfers can disrupt
the orderly management of the Portfolios underlying the Policy, can result in
higher costs to Owners, and are generally not compatible with the long-range
goals of Owners. We believe that such simultaneous transfers effected by such
third parties are not in the best interests of all shareholders of the
Portfolios underlying the Policies, and the managements of those Portfolios
share this position.
44
<PAGE>
Therefore, to the extent necessary to reduce the adverse effects of
simultaneous transfers made by third parties who make transfers on behalf of
multiple owners, we may not honor such transfers. Also, we will institute
procedures to assure that the transfer requests that we receive have, in fact,
been made by the Owners in whose names they are submitted. These procedures
will not, however, prevent Owners from making their own transfer requests.
45
<PAGE>
Death Benefits
As long as the Policy remains in force, we will pay the death benefit upon
receipt at our Home Office of satisfactory proof of the Insured's death. See
Requesting Payments. We will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary.
AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT PAYABLE
The amount of death benefit payable equals:
. the Life Insurance Proceeds determined under the death benefit option in
effect on the date of the Insured's death;
. plus any supplemental death benefits provided by rider;
. minus any Policy Debt on that date; and
. minus the premium that would have been required to keep the Policy in force
if the date of death occurred during a grace period.
Under certain circumstances, we may further adjust the amount of the death
benefit payable. See Incontestability and Misstatement of Age or Sex.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
There are two death benefits available under the Policy. Under Option A, the
Life Insurance Proceeds equals the greater of:
. the Specified Amount plus the Account Value, or
. the applicable corridor percentage of the Account Value as determined using
the table of percentages shown below.
Under Option B, the Life Insurance Proceeds equals the greater of:
. the Specified Amount, or
. the applicable corridor percentage of the Account Value as determined using
the table of percentages shown below.
Under both options, we determine the Specified Amount and Account Value on the
date of the Insured's death. The corridor percentage is 250% until attainment
of Age 40 and declines after that as the Insured's Attained Age increases. If
the table of percentages currently in effect becomes inconsistent with any
Federal income tax laws and/or regulations, we reserve the right to change the
table.

</TABLE>
Under Option A, the Life Insurance Proceeds will vary directly with the
investment performance of the Account Value. Under Option B, the Life Insurance
Proceeds ordinarily will not change until the applicable percentage amount of
the Account Value exceeds the Specified Amount or you change the Specified
Amount.
CHANGING THE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
You select the death benefit option when you apply for the Policy. However, you
may change the option on your Policy at any time by writing to our Home Office.
The effective date of the change will be the Monthly Anniversary Day after we
receive the request for the change. We will send you revised Policy schedule
pages reflecting the new option and the effective date of the change. If you
request a change from Option A to Option B, we will increase the Specified
Amount by the Account Value on the effective date of the increase. If you
request a change from Option B to Option A, we will decrease the Specified
Amount after the change by the Account Value on the effective date of the
change. A change in death benefit option will affect the cost of insurance
charges.
ACCELERATED BENEFIT RIDER
Provided the Accelerated Benefit Rider is approved in your state, you may elect
an accelerated benefit if the Insured is terminally ill. The Accelerated
Benefit Rider provides you with access to a portion of the death benefit during
the Insured's lifetime, if the Insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
For purposes of determining if an accelerated benefit is available, we define
terminal illness as a medical condition resulting from bodily injury, or
disease, or both:
. which has been diagnosed by a licensed physician;
. which diagnosis is supported by clinical, radiological, laboratory or other
evidence which is satisfactory to us; and
47
<PAGE>
. which a licensed physician certifies is expected to result in death within 12
months from the date of such certification.
Any request for payment of an accelerated benefit must be in a form
satisfactory to us, and any payment of an accelerated benefit requires
satisfactory proof of a terminal illness and is subject to our administrative
procedures as well as the conditions set forth in the Accelerated Benefit
Rider.
The accelerated benefit equals the Eligible Proceeds:
. discounted for the life expectancy of the Insured at the rate of interest
charged for Policy loans;
. minus the product of 1) the ratio of the Eligible Proceeds to the Total
Proceeds and 2) the amount of the single premium required to keep the Policy
in effect for the life expectancy of the Insured assuming the current cost of
insurance rates, current expense charges, and the interest rate stated above;
and
. minus the product of 1) the ratio of the Eligible Proceeds to the Total
Proceeds and 2) any Policy Debt on the date of the accelerated benefit
payment.
The accelerated benefit will be paid in one lump sum.
If the Eligible Proceeds equal the amount otherwise payable on the death of the
Insured, then our payment of the accelerated benefit will result in termination
of all insurance coverage under the Policy.
If the Eligible Proceeds are less than the amount otherwise payable on the
death of the Insured, then the Policy will continue with the Specified Amount,
Account Value, Policy Debt and any additional term rider coverage on such
Insured reduced by the ratio of Eligible Proceeds to Total Proceeds.
We will waive any surrender charge for the resulting decrease in Specified
Amount as well as the minimum Specified Amount requirement under the Policy.
Other rider benefits will continue without reduction.
CHANGING THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT
After a Policy has been in effect for one year, you may increase or decrease
the Specified Amount. To make a change, you must send a written request and the
Policy to our Home Office. Any change in the Specified Amount may affect the
cost of insurance rate and the net amount at risk, both of which may change
your cost of insurance. See Monthly Deduction and Cost of Insurance. Depending
on the Account Value at the time of an increase in the Specified Amount and the
amount of the increase requested, it may be advisable to change your periodic
premium payments upon an increase in the Specified Amount.
48
<PAGE>
Any change in the Specified Amount will affect the maximum premium limitation.
If a decrease in the Specified Amount causes the premiums to exceed new lower
limitations required by Federal tax law, we will withdraw the excess from
Account Value and refund it to you so that the Policy will continue to meet
these requirements. We will withdraw the Account Value that we refund from each
Investment Subdivision in the same proportion that the Account Value in that
Investment Subdivision bears to the total Account Value in all Investment
Subdivisions under the Policy at the time of the withdrawal (i.e., on a pro-
rata basis).
Any decrease in the Specified Amount will become effective on the Monthly
Anniversary Day after the date we receive the request. The decrease will first
apply to coverage provided by the most recent increase, then to the next most
recent increases successively, then to the coverage under the original
application. During the Continuation Period, we will not allow a decrease
unless the Account Value less any Policy Debt is greater than the surrender
charge. The Specified Amount following a decrease can never be less than the
minimum Specified Amount for the Policy when we issued it. A decrease may cause
us to assess a surrender charge and may require us to pay excess Account Value.
To apply for an increase, you must complete a supplemental application and
submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Any approved increase will
become effective on the date shown in the supplemental Policy data page. Please
note that an increase will not become effective if the Policy's Surrender Value
is too low to cover the monthly deduction for the Policy Month following the
increase.
If there is an increase in Specified Amount, there will be a one-time charge
(per increase) of $1.50 per $1,000 of increase to cover underwriting and
administrative costs associated with the increase. This charge will be included
in the monthly deduction for the month the increase becomes effective. This
charge will never exceed $300 per increase.
An increase in Specified Amount will increase the Continuation Amounts.
A change in your Specified Amount may have Federal tax consequences. See Tax
Considerations.
49
<PAGE>
Surrenders and Partial Surrenders
SURRENDERS
You may cancel and surrender your Policy at any time before the Insured dies.
The Policy will terminate on the Valuation Day we receive your request, and you
will not be able to reinstate it.
We will pay you the Surrender Value in a lump sum unless you make other
arrangements. You will incur a surrender charge if you surrender your Policy
during the first 15 Policy years. A surrender may have adverse tax
consequences. (See Tax Considerations.)
PARTIAL SURRENDERS
You may make partial surrenders at any time under your Policy if you elected
Option A. If you elected Option B, you only may make partial surrenders after
the first Policy year. The minimum partial surrender amount is $500.
We will assess a processing fee for each partial surrender. The amount of the
partial surrender will equal the amount you requested to surrender plus the
processing fee.
When you request a partial surrender, you can direct how we deduct the
surrender from your Account Value. If you provide no directions, we will deduct
the partial surrender proportionately from the Investment Subdivisions in which
you are invested.
EFFECT OF PARTIAL SURRENDERS ON LIFE INSURANCE PROCEEDS
A partial surrender will reduce both the Account Value and the Life Insurance
Proceeds by the amount of the partial surrender.
50
<PAGE>
Loans
GENERAL
You may borrow up to the following amount:
. 90% of the difference between your Account Value at the end of the Valuation
Period during which we received your loan request and any surrender charges
on the date of the loan;
. less any outstanding Policy Debt.
You may request Policy loans by writing our Home Office.
When we make a loan, we transfer an amount equal to the loan proceeds from your
Account Value in Separate Account II to our General Account and hold it as
"collateral" for the loan. If you do not direct an allocation for this
transfer, we will make it on a pro-rata basis from each Investment Subdivision
in which you have invested. We will pay interest at an annual rate of at least
4% to that portion of the collateral that excludes Preferred Policy Debt (see
below).
When you repay a loan, we transfer an amount equal to the repayment from our
General Account to Separate Account II and allocate it as you directed when you
repaid the loan. If you provide no directions, we will allocate the amount
according to your standing instructions for Net Premium allocations.
PREFERRED POLICY DEBT
We will designate a portion of Policy loans taken or existing on or after the
Preferred Loan Availability Date (as shown on the Policy data pages) as
Preferred Policy Debt. In Policy Years 11 through 20, Preferred Policy Debt
will be that portion of Policy Debt which equals the difference between the
Account Value and the sum of all premium payments made. After the 20th Policy
Year, Preferred Policy Debt will be that portion of Policy Debt which equals
130% of the difference between the Account Value and the sum of all premium
payments made. We redetermine the amount of Preferred Policy Debt each Policy
Month. We reserve the right to change this practice at our sole discretion.
We currently credit interest at an annual rate of 6% to that portion of Account
Value transferred to the General Account which equals the Preferred Policy
Debt. We reserve the right to change, at our sole discretion, the interest rate
we credit to the amount of Account Value we transferred to the General Account.
We guarantee that Preferred Policy Debt will earn at least a minimum annual
interest rate of 4%.
INTEREST RATE CHARGED
We will charge interest daily on any outstanding Policy loan at an effective
annual rate of 6%. Interest is due and payable at the end of each Policy year
while a Policy loan is outstanding. If, on any Policy anniversary, you have not
paid interest accrued since the last Policy anniversary, we add the amount of
the interest to the loan and
51
<PAGE>
this becomes part of your outstanding Policy Debt. We transfer the interest due
from each Investment Subdivision on a pro-rata basis.
REPAYMENT OF POLICY DEBT
You may repay all or part of your Policy Debt at any time while the Insured is
living and the Policy is in force. We will treat any payments by you other than
planned periodic premiums first as the repayment of any outstanding Policy
Debt. We will treat the portion of the payment in excess of any outstanding
Policy Debt as an unscheduled premium payment. We will first apply any
repayment to reduce the portion of Policy Debt that is not Preferred Policy
Debt.
You must send Loan repayments to our Home Office. We will credit the repayments
as of the date we receive them. We do not treat a Policy loan repayment as a
premium payment, and a loan repayment is not subject to the current 8% premium
charge.
EFFECT OF POLICY LOANS
A Policy loan affects the Policy, because we reduce the death benefit proceeds
and Surrender Value under the Policy by the amount of any outstanding loan plus
interest you owe on the loan. Repaying the loan causes the death benefit
proceeds and Surrender Value to increase by the amount of the repayment. As
long as a loan is outstanding, we hold an amount equal to the loan as
collateral. This amount is not affected by Separate Account II's investment
performance. Amounts transferred from Separate Account II as collateral will
affect the Account Value because we credit such amounts with an interest rate
we declare rather than a rate of return reflecting the investment performance
of Separate Account II.
There are risks involved in taking a Policy loan, a few of which include the
potential for a Policy to lapse if projected earnings, taking into account
outstanding loans, are not achieved. A Policy loan may also have possible
adverse tax consequences that could occur if a Policy lapses with loans
outstanding. See Tax Considerations.
We will notify you if the sum of your loans plus any interest you owe on the
loans is more than the Account Value less applicable surrender charges, or if
during the Continuation Period, the sum of your loans plus any interest you owe
on the loans is more than the Account Value less applicable surrender charges,
and the Net Total Premium is less than the Continuation Amount. If you do not
submit a sufficient payment within 61 days from the date of the notice, your
Policy may terminate.
52
<PAGE>
Termination
PREMIUM TO PREVENT TERMINATION
Generally, if on a Monthly Anniversary Day, the Surrender Value of your Policy
is too low to cover the monthly deduction, a Policy will be in default and a
grace period will begin. In that case, we will mail you notice of the
additional premium necessary to prevent your Policy from terminating. You will
have a 61-day grace period from the date we mail the notice to make the
required premium payment.
However, your Policy will not lapse during the Continuation Period, even if
your Surrender Value is too low to cover the monthly deduction, so long as the
Net Total Premium is at least equal to the Continuation Amount. At the end of
the Continuation Period, you may, however, have to make an additional premium
payment to keep the Policy in force.
YOUR POLICY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT DURING THE GRACE PERIOD
If the Insured should die during the grace period before you pay the required
premium, the death benefit will still be payable to the Beneficiary, although
we will reduce the amount of the Life Insurance Proceeds by the amount of
premium that would have been required to keep the Policy in force. If you have
not paid the required premium before the grace period ends, your Policy will
terminate. It will have no value and no benefits will be payable. However, you
may reinstate your policy under certain circumstances.
REINSTATEMENT
If you have not surrendered your Policy, you may reinstate your Policy within
three years after termination, subject to compliance with certain conditions,
including the payment of a necessary premium and submission of satisfactory
evidence of insurability. See your Policy for further information.
Any termination and subsequent reinstatement of the Policy will reduce the
Continuation Amounts.
53
<PAGE>
Payments and Telephone Transactions
REQUESTING PAYMENTS
You may send your written requests for payment to our Home Office or give them
to one of our authorized agents. We will ordinarily pay any Life Insurance
Proceeds, loan proceeds or surrender or partial surrender proceeds in a lump
sum within seven days after receipt at our Home Office of all the documents
required for such a payment. Other than the Life Insurance Proceeds, which we
determine as of the date of the Insured's death, the amount we pay is as of the
end of the Valuation Period during which our Home Office receives all required
documents. We may pay your Life Insurance Proceeds in a lump sum or under an
optional payment plan. See Optional Payment Plans.
Any Life Insurance Proceeds that we pay in one lump sum will include interest
from the date of death to the date of payment. We will pay interest at a rate
we set, or a rate set by law if greater. The minimum interest rate which we may
pay is 2.5%. We will not pay interest beyond one year or any longer time set by
law. We will reduce Life Insurance Proceeds by any outstanding Policy Debt and
any due and unpaid charges and will increase Life Insurance Proceeds by any
benefits added by rider.
We may delay making a payment or processing a transfer request if:
. the disposal or valuation of Separate Account II's assets is not reasonably
practicable because the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than a
regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by the SEC, or the SEC
declares that an emergency exists; or
. the SEC by order permits postponement of payment to protect our Policy
Owners. We also may defer making payments attributable to a check that has
not cleared the bank on which it is drawn.
TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS
You may make certain requests under the Policy by telephone provided you sent
us written authorization at our Home Office. These include requests for
transfers, changes in premium allocation designations, dollar-cost averaging
changes and changes in the portfolio rebalancing program. Our Home Office will
employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by
telephone are genuine. Such procedures may include, among others, requiring
some form of personal identification prior to acting upon instructions received
by telephone, providing written confirmation of such transactions, and/or tape
recording of telephone instructions. Your request for telephone transactions
authorizes us to record telephone calls. If we do not follow reasonable
procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions. However, if we follow reasonable procedures, we will not be
liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.

Tax Considerations
Introduction
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
This part of the Prospectus discusses the Federal income tax treatment of the
Policy. The Federal income tax treatment of the Policy is complex and sometimes
uncertain. The Federal income tax rules may vary with your particular
circumstances.
This discussion is general and is not intended as tax advice. It does not
address all of the Federal income tax rules that may affect you and your
Policy. This discussion also does not address Federal estate or gift tax
consequences, or state or local tax consequences, associated with a Policy. As
a result, you should always consult a tax advisor about the application of tax
rules to your individual situation.
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY
Federal income tax law generally grants favorable treatment to life insurance:
the proceeds paid on the death of the Insured are excluded from the gross
income of the Beneficiary, and the Owner is not taxed on increases in the
Account Value unless amounts are distributed while the Insured is alive. For
this treatment to apply to your Policy, the premiums paid for your Policy must
not exceed a limit established by the tax law. An increase or decrease in the
Policy's Specified Amount may change this premium limit.
We will monitor the premiums paid for your Policy to keep them within the tax
law's limit. However, for your Policy to receive favorable tax treatment as
life insurance, two other requirements must be met:
. The investments of Separate Account II must be "adequately diversified" in
accordance with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations; and
. your right to choose particular investments for a Policy must be limited.
Investments in Separate Account II must be diversified: The IRS has issued
regulations that prescribe standards for determining whether the investments of
Separate Account II, including the assets of the Funds in which Separate
Account II invests, are "adequately diversified." If Separate Account II fails
to comply with these diversification standards, you could be required to pay
tax currently on the excess of the Account Value over the premiums paid for the
Policy.
Although we do not control the investments of all of the Funds (the Company
only indirectly controls those of GE Investments Funds, Inc., through an
affiliated company), we expect that the Funds will comply with the IRS
regulations so that Separate Account II will be considered "adequately
diversified."
Restrictions on the extent to which you can direct the investment of Account
Values: Federal income tax law limits your right to choose particular
investments for the Policy. The U.S. Treasury Department stated in 1986 that it
expected to issue
55
<PAGE>
the Funds may exceed those limits. If so, you would be treated as the owner of
a portion of the assets of Separate Account II and thus subject to current
taxation on the income and gains from those assets.
The Company does not know what limits may be set forth in any guidance that the
Treasury Department may issue, or whether any such limits will apply to
existing Policies. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the
Policy without your consent to attempt to prevent the tax law from considering
you to own a portion of the assets of Separate Account II.
No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment: The Company makes no guarantees
regarding the tax treatment of any Policy or of any transaction involving a
Policy. However, the remainder of this discussion assumes that your Policy will
be treated as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes and
that the tax law will not impose tax on any increase in your Account Value
until there is a distribution from your Policy.
TAX TREATMENT OF POLICIES--GENERAL
Life Insurance Proceeds and Account Value increases: A Policy's treatment as
life insurance for Federal income tax purposes generally has the following
results:
. Life Insurance Proceeds are excludable from the gross income of the
Beneficiary.
. You are not taxed on increases in the Account Value unless amounts are
distributed from the Policy while the Insured is alive.
. The taxation of amounts distributed while the Insured is alive depends upon
whether your Policy is a "modified endowment contract." The term "modified
endowment contract," or "MEC", is defined below.
Partial and full surrenders and maturity proceeds: A partial surrender occurs
when you receive less than the total amount of the Policy's Surrender Value;
receipt of the entire Surrender Value is a full surrender. If your Policy is
not a MEC, you will generally pay tax on the amount of a partial or full
surrender only to the extent it exceeds your "investment in the contract." In a
few states, a maturity value will be paid. Maturity proceeds will be taxable to
the extent the amount received plus Policy Debt exceeds the "investment in the
contract." You will be taxed on this amount at ordinary income tax rates, not
at lower capital gains tax rates. Your "investment in the contract" generally
equals the total of the premiums paid for your Policy, plus the amount of any
loan that was includible in your income, reduced by any amounts you previously
received from the Policy that you did not include in your income.
Special rule for certain cash distributions in the first 15 Policy
years: During the first 15 years after your Policy is issued, if we distribute
cash to you and reduce the Life Insurance Proceeds (e.g., by decreasing the
Policy's Specified Amount) at the same time, you may be required to pay tax on
all or part of the cash payment, even if it is
56
<PAGE>
less than your investment in the contract. This also may occur if we distribute
cash to you up to two years before the proceeds are reduced, or if the cash
payment is made in anticipation of the reduction. However, you will not be
required to pay tax on more than the amount by which your Account Value exceeds
your investment in the contract.
Considerations where Insured lives past age 100: If the Insured survives beyond
the end of the mortality table used to measure charges under the Policy, which
ends at age 100, the IRS may seek to deny the tax-free treatment of the Life
Insurance Proceeds and instead to tax you on the amount by which your Account
Value exceeds your investment in the contract. Because in most states the
Policy continues to have insurance risk beyond age 100, for which we assess a
cost of insurance charge, we believe that the proceeds will continue to be
protected from taxation. Therefore, we have no current plans to withhold or
report taxes in this situation.
Accelerated Benefit Rider: Your Policy may contain an Accelerated Benefit
Rider, which provides you with access to a portion of the death benefit if the
Insured becomes terminally ill. The accelerated benefit payment is treated in
the same manner as Life Insurance Proceeds for tax purposes, meaning that it
generally will be excludable from gross income. But if the Insured under the
Policy is an officer, director, or employee of the Owner of the Policy, or is
financially interested in the trade or business of the Owner, the payment would
be taxable in part.
Loans: If your Policy is not a MEC, a loan received under a Policy (i.e.,
Policy Debt) normally will be treated as your indebtedness. Hence, so long as
the Policy remains in force, you will generally not be taxed on any part of a
Policy loan. However, it is possible that you could have additional income for
tax purposes if any of your Policy loan consists of Preferred Policy Debt. If
your Policy terminates (by a full surrender or by a lapse) while the Insured is
alive, you will be taxed on the amount (if any) by which the Policy Debt plus
any amount received in cash exceeds your investment in the contract.
Generally, interest paid on Policy Debt or other indebtedness related to the
Policy will not be tax deductible, except in the case of certain indebtedness
under a Policy covering a "key person." A tax advisor should be consulted
before taking any Policy loan.
Loss of interest deduction where Policies are held by or for the benefit of
corporations, trusts, etc.: If an entity (such as a corporation or a trust, not
an individual) purchases a Policy or is the Beneficiary of a Policy issued
after June 8, 1997, a portion of the interest on indebtedness unrelated to the
Policy may not be deductible by the entity. However, this rule does not apply
to a Policy owned by an entity engaged in a trade or business which covers the
life of an individual who is:
57
<PAGE>
. a 20% owner of the entity, or
. an officer, director, or employee of the trade or business,
at the time first covered by the Policy. Entities that are considering
purchasing the Policy, or that will be Beneficiaries under a Policy, should
consult a tax advisor.
Optional payment plans: If Life Insurance Proceeds under the Policy are paid
under one of the Optional Payment Plans, the Beneficiary will be taxed on a
portion of each payment (at ordinary income tax rates). The Company will notify
the Beneficiary annually of the taxable amount of each payment. However, if the
Life Insurance Proceeds are held by the Company under Optional Payment Plan 4
(interest income), the Beneficiary will be taxed on the interest income as it
is credited.
Other considerations: The right to exchange the Policy for a permanent fixed
benefit policy (see "Exchange Privilege"), the right to change Owners (see
"Change of Owner"), and changes reducing future amounts of Life Insurance
Proceeds may have tax consequences depending upon the circumstances of each
exchange or change.
SPECIAL RULES FOR MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS (MECS)
Definition of a "modified endowment contract:" Special rules apply to a Policy
classified as a MEC. A Policy will be classified as a MEC if either of the
following is true:
. If premiums are paid more rapidly than allowed by a "7-pay test" under the
tax law. At your request, we will let you know the amount of premium that may
be paid for your Policy in any year that will avoid MEC treatment under the
7-pay test.
. If the Policy is received in exchange for another policy that is a MEC.
Tax treatment of MECs: If a Policy is classified as a MEC, the following
special rules apply:
. A partial surrender will be taxable to you to the extent that the Account
Value exceeds your investment in the contract.
. A loan from the Policy (together with any unpaid interest included in Policy
Debt), and the amount of any assignment or pledge of the Policy, will be
taxed in the same manner as a partial surrender.
. A penalty tax of 10% will be imposed on the amount of any full or partial
surrender, loan and unpaid loan interest included in Policy Debt, assignment,
or pledge on which you must pay tax. However, the penalty tax does not apply
to a distribution made:
(1) after you attain age 59 1/2,
(2) because you have become disabled, within the meaning of the tax law, or
(3) in substantially equal periodic payments over your life or life
expectancy (or over the joint lives or life expectancies of you and your
beneficiary, within the meaning of the tax law).
58
<PAGE>
Special rules if you own more than one MEC: All MECs that we (or any of our
affiliates) issue to you within the same calendar year will be combined to
determine the amount of any distribution from the Policy that will be taxable
to you.
Interpretative issues: The tax law's rules relating to MECs are complex and
open to considerable variation in interpretation. You should consult your tax
advisor before making any decisions regarding changes in coverage under or
distributions from your Policy.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
We may be required to withhold and pay to the IRS a part of the taxable portion
of each distribution made under a Policy. However, in many cases, the recipient
may elect not to have any amounts withheld. You are responsible for payment of
all taxes and early distribution penalties, regardless of whether you request
that no taxes be withheld or if we do not withhold a sufficient amount of
taxes. At the time you request a distribution from the Policy, we will send you
forms that explain the withholding requirements.
TAX STATUS OF THE COMPANY
Under existing Federal income tax law, we do not expect to incur any Federal
income tax liability on the income or gains in Separate Account II. Based upon
this expectation, we do not impose a charge for Federal income taxes. If
Federal income tax law changes and we are required to pay taxes on some or all
of the income and gains earned by Separate Account II, we may impose a charge
for those taxes.
We may also incur state and local taxes, in addition to premium taxes for which
a deduction from premiums is currently made. At present, these taxes are not
significant. If there is a material change in state or local tax laws, we may
impose a charge for any taxes attributable to Separate Account II.
CHANGES IN THE LAW AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
This discussion is based on our understanding of the Federal income tax law
existing on the date of this Prospectus. Congress, the IRS, and the courts may
modify these laws at any time, and may do so retroactively. Any person
concerned about the tax implications of ownership of a Policy should consult a
competent tax advisor.

Other Policy Information
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
During the first 24 Policy Months, you may convert the Policy to a permanent
fixed benefit policy. If you object to a material change in the investment
policy of Separate Account II or the Investment Subdivisions, you also may
convert the Policy to a permanent fixed benefit Policy within 60 days after the
change. In either case, you may elect either the same Life Insurance Proceeds
or the Life Insurance Proceeds minus Account Value as the existing Policy at
the time of conversion. We will base premiums on the same Age at issue and risk
classification of the Insured as the existing Policy. The conversion will be
subject to an equitable adjustment in payments and Account Values to reflect
variances, if any, in the payments and Account Values under the existing Policy
and the new Policy. See your Policy for further information.
OPTIONAL PAYMENT PLANS
The Policy currently offers the following five optional payment plans as
alternatives to the payment of a death benefit or Surrender Value in a lump
sum:
Plan 1 -- Income For A Fixed Period. We will make equal periodic payments for a
fixed period not longer than 30 years. Payments can be annual, semi-annual,
quarterly or monthly. If the payee dies before the end of the fixed period, we
will discount the amount of the remaining guaranteed payments to the date of
the payee's death at a yearly rate of 3%. We will pay the discounted amount in
one sum to the payee's estate unless otherwise provided.
Plan 2 -- Life Income. We will make equal monthly payments for a guaranteed
minimum period. If the payee lives longer than the minimum period, payments
will continue for his or her life. The minimum period can be 10, 15 or 20
years. If the payee dies before the end of the guaranteed period, we will
discount the amount of remaining payments for the minimum period at the same
interest rate used to calculate the monthly income. We will pay the discounted
amount in one sum to the payee's estate unless otherwise provided.
Plan 3 -- Income of A Definite Amount. We will make equal periodic payments of
a definite amount. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly.
The amount paid each year must be at least $120 for each $1,000 of proceeds.
Payments will continue until the proceeds are exhausted. The last payment will
equal the amount of any unpaid proceeds. If the payee dies, we will pay the
amount of the remaining proceeds with earned interest in one sum to the payee's
estate unless otherwise provided.
Plan 4 -- Interest Income. We will make periodic payments of interest earned
from the proceeds left with us. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly
or monthly and will begin at the end of the first period chosen. If the payee
dies, we will pay the amount of remaining proceeds and any earned but unpaid
interest in one sum to the payee's estate unless otherwise provided.
60
<PAGE>
Plan 5 -- Joint Life And Survivor Income. We will make equal monthly payments
to two payees for a guaranteed minimum of 10 years. Each payee must be at least
35 years old when payments begin. Payments will continue as long as either
payee is living. If both payees die before the end of the minimum period, we
will discount the amount of the remaining payments for the 10 year period at
the same interest rate used to calculate the monthly income. We will pay the
discounted amount in one sum to the survivor's estate unless otherwise
provided.
You may select an Optional Payment Plan in your application or by writing our
Home Office. We will transfer any amount left with us for payment under an
optional payment plan to our General Account. Payments under an Optional
Payment Plan will not vary with the investment performance of Separate Account
II because they are forms of fixed-benefit annuities. See Tax Treatment of
Policies. Certain conditions and restrictions apply to payments received under
an optional payment plan. For further information, review your Policy or
contact one of our authorized agents.
DIVIDENDS
The Policy is non-participating. We will not pay dividends on the Policy.
INCONTESTABILITY
The Policy limits our right to contest the Policy as issued or as increased,
except for material misstatements contained in the application or a
supplemental application, after it has been in force during the Insured's
lifetime for a minimum period, generally for two years from the Policy Date or
effective date of the increase. This provision does not apply to riders that
provide disability benefits.
SUICIDE EXCLUSION
If the Insured commits suicide while sane or insane within two years of the
Policy Date, we will limit the amount of proceeds we pay under the Policy to
all premiums paid, less outstanding Policy Debt and less amounts paid upon
partial surrender of the Policy.
If the Insured commits suicide while sane or insane more than two years after
the Policy Date but within two years after the effective date of an increase in
the Specified Amount, we will reduce the Specified Amount to the amount in
effect before the increase. The amount payable with respect to the insurance
will equal the monthly deductions that were made for that increase. Please see
your Policy for more details.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
We will adjust the Life Insurance Proceeds if you misstated the Insured's Age
or sex in your application.
61
<PAGE>
WRITTEN NOTICE
You should send any written notice to us at our Home Office. The notice should
include the Policy number and the Insured's full name. We will send any notice
to the address shown in the application unless an appropriate address change
form has been filed with us.
TRUSTEE
If you name a trustee as the Owner or Beneficiary of the Policy and the trustee
subsequently exercises ownership rights or claims benefits thereunder, we will
have no obligation to verify that a trust is in effect or that the trustee is
acting within the scope of his/her authority. Payment of Policy benefits to the
trustee will release us from all obligations under the Policy to the extent of
the payment. When we make a payment to the trustee, we will have no obligation
to ensure that such payment is applied according to the terms of the trust
agreement.
OTHER CHANGES
At any time we may make such changes in the Policy as are necessary to assure
compliance at all times with the definition of life insurance prescribed by the
Code;
. to make the Policy, our operations, or the operation of Separate Account II
to conform with any law or regulation issued by any government agency to
which they are subject; or
. to reflect a change in the operation of Separate Account II, if allowed by
the Policy.
Only the President or a Vice President of GE Life & Annuity has the right to
change the Policy. No agent has the authority to change the Policy or waive any
of its terms. The President or a Vice President of GE Life & Annuity must sign
all endorsements, amendments, or riders to be valid.
REPORTS
We maintain records and accounts of all transactions involving the Policy,
Separate Account II and Policy Debt. Within 30 days after each Policy
anniversary, we will send you a report showing information about your Policy.
The report will show:
. the Specified Amount;
. the Account Value in each Investment Subdivision, the Surrender Value and
Policy Debt;
. premiums paid and charges made during the Policy year.
We also will send you an annual and a semi-annual report for each Fund
underlying an Investment Subdivision to which you have allocated Account Value,
as required by the 1940 Act. In addition, when you pay premiums (other than by
pre-authorized checking account deduction), or if you take out a Policy loan,
make transfers or make partial surrenders, you will receive a written
confirmation of these transactions.
62
<PAGE>
CHANGE OF OWNER
You may change the Owner of the Policy by sending a written request on a form
satisfactory to us to our Home Office while the Insured is alive and the Policy
is in force. The change will take effect the date you sign the written request,
but the change will not affect any action we have taken before we receive the
written request. A change of Owner does not change the Beneficiary designation.
SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS
These are several Supplemental benefits available that you may add to your
Policy. We will deduct monthly charges for these benefits from your Account
Value as part of the monthly deduction. See Monthly Deduction. Examples of
these benefits include:
. term insurance on a spouse or children;
. additional death benefits if the Insured dies in an accident, and
. waiver of either the monthly deduction or a stipulated amount if the Insured
becomes disabled as defined in the rider.
Additional rules and limits apply to these supplemental benefits. Please ask
your authorized GE Life & Annuity agent for further information or contact our
Home Office.
USING THE POLICY AS COLLATERAL
You can assign the Policy as collateral security. You must notify us in writing
if you assign the Policy. Any payments we made before the assignment will not
be affected. We are not responsible for the validity of an assignment. An
assignment may affect your rights and the rights of the Beneficiary.
REINSURANCE
We intend to reinsure a portion of the risks assumed under the Policies.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
GE Life & Annuity, like all other companies, is involved in lawsuits, including
class action lawsuits. In some class action and other lawsuits involving
insurance companies, substantial damages have been sought and/or material
settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation
cannot be predicted with certainty, GE Life & Annuity believes that at the
present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably
likely to have a material adverse impact on it or Separate Account II.

Additional Information
SALE OF THE POLICIES
Policies are sold by appropriately licensed agents who we appoint to solicit
applications on our behalf. These agents are also registered representatives of
Capital Brokerage Corporation, the principal underwriter of the Policies, or of
broker/ dealers who have entered into written sales agreements with the
principal underwriter. One of these broker/dealers is Terra Securities
Corporation, which is an affiliate of ours.
Capital Brokerage Corporation, a Washington corporation, located at 6630 W.
Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia 23230, is registered with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker/dealer and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (Capital Brokerage Corporation
does business in Indiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Texas as GE Capital
Brokerage Corporation.) Capital Brokerage Corporation also serves as principal
underwriter for other variable life insurance and variable annuity policies we
issue. However, Capital Brokerage Corporation has not retained any amounts for
acting as principal underwriter of these other policies. Capital Brokerage
Corporation will receive 12b-1 fees assessed against the Janus Aspen Series
Service Shares as compensation for providing certain distribution and
shareholder support services.
We pay sales commissions and other expenses associated with the promotion and
sales of the Policies to broker/dealers. In the first Policy year, the
broker/dealer will receive a commission of up to 95% of the maximum
commissionable premium plus up to 5% of premiums paid in excess of the maximum
commissionable premium. In renewal years, the broker/dealer receives up to 8.5%
of the premiums paid. We may pay a trail commission equal to an annual rate of
0.25% of Account Value of the Policies.
We may also pay override payments, expense allowances, bonuses, wholesaler fees
and training allowances. Registered representatives earn commissions from the
broker/dealer with which they are affiliated and such arrangements may vary. In
addition, registered representatives who meet specified production levels may
qualify, under sales incentive programs adopted by us, to receive non-cash
compensation such as expense-paid trips, expense-paid educational seminars and
merchandise.
Legal Matters
The legal matters in connection with the Policy described in this prospectus
have been passed on by Patricia L. Dysart, Associate General Counsel and
Assistant Vice President of GE Life & Annuity. Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP
of Washington, D.C. has provided advice on matters relating to the Federal
securities laws.

Hypothetical Illustrations
We have included illustrations in this prospectus, and use them in connection
with your purchase of the Policy. These illustrations are based on hypothetical
rates of return that are not guaranteed. The rates are illustrative only, and
do not represent past or future performance. Your actual Policy values and
benefits will be different from these illustrations.
The illustrations assume you paid planned premiums annually and the return on
the assets in the Investment Subdivisions were a uniform gross annual rate of
0%, 6% or 12%, before deduction of any fees and charges. The values reflect the
deduction of all Policy and Fund fees and charges. The tables also show planned
premiums accumulated at 5% interest. The values under a Policy would be
different from those shown if the returns averaged 0%, 6% or 12% but fluctuated
over and under those averages throughout the years shown. The hypothetical
investment rates of return are illustrative only and should not be deemed a
representation of past or future investment rates of return. Actual rates of
return for a particular Policy may be more or less than the hypothetical
investment rates of return used in the illustrations.
The illustrations assume an average annual expense ratio of .78% of the average
daily net assets of the Funds available under the Policies, based on the Funds'
fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 as shown in the
Portfolio Annual Expense Table, above. (These fees and expenses, and therefore
the illustrations, reflect certain fee waivers and reimbursements provided by
some of the Funds. We cannot guarantee that these fee waivers and
reimbursements will continue.) For information on Fund fees and expenses, see
the prospectus for the Funds accompanying this prospectus. The illustrations
also take into account the charge by us to an Investment Subdivision for
assuming mortality and expense risks, made daily at an annual rate of .70% of
the net assets of the Investment Subdivision. After deduction of these amounts,
the illustrated gross annual investment rates of return of 0%, 6% and 12%,
correspond to approximate net annual rates of -1.48%, 4.52% and 10.52%,
respectively.
The illustrations reflect the monthly deduction for the hypothetical Insured.
We reflect our current charges and the higher guaranteed charges we have the
contractual right to charge in separate illustrations on each of the following
pages. All the illustrations reflect the fact that no charges for Federal or
state income taxes are currently made against Separate Account II and assume no
Policy Debt or charges for supplemental benefits.
The illustrations reflect our sex distinct rates for no- non smokerusers. Upon
request, we will furnish a comparable illustration based upon the proposed
Insured's individual circumstances. Such illustrations may assume different
hypothetical rates of return than those illustrated.

</TABLE>
(1) The values illustrated assume that the planned premium of $13,100 is paid
at the beginning of each Policy year. Values will be different if premiums
are paid with a different frequency or in different amounts.
(2) The values and benefits are as of the end of the year shown. They assume
that no Policy loans or withdrawals have been made. Excessive loans or
withdrawals may cause this Policy to lapse because of insufficient account
value.
(3) The values and benefits are shown using the maximum expense charges and
cost of insurance rates allowable under the Policy. Accordingly, if the
assumed hypothetical gross annual investment return were earned, the values
and benefits of an actual Policy with the listed specifications could never
be less than those shown, and in some cases may be greater than those
shown.
The hypothetical gross annual investment rates of return shown above and
elsewhere in this prospectus are illustrative only and should not be deemed a
representation of past or future investment rates of return.
Actual investment rates of return may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates, rates of
inflation, and the allocations made by an owner among the investment options.
The gross hypothetical investment rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% shown
above correspond to net annual rates of -1.48%, 4.52%, and 10.52%. The death
benefit and account value for a policy will be different from those shown if
the actual investment rate of return averages 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period of
years, but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual policy
years. No representations can be made by GE Life & Annuity or the funds that
these hypothetical investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year
or sustained over any period of time.

(1) The values illustrated assume that the planned premium of $13,100 is paid
at the beginning of each Policy year. Values will be different if premiums
are paid with a different frequency or in different amounts.
(2) The values and benefits are as of the end of the year shown. They assume
that no Policy loans or withdrawals have been made. Excessive loans or
withdrawals may cause this Policy to lapse because of insufficient account
value.
(3) The values and benefits are shown using the expense charges and cost of
insurance rates currently in effect. Although GE Life & Annuity anticipates
deducting these charges for the forseeable future, THESE CHARGES ARE NOT
GUARANTEED AND COULD BE RAISED AT THE DISCRETION OF GE LIFE & ANNUITY.
Accordingly, even if the assumed hypothetical gross annual investment
return were earned, the values and benefits under an actual Policy with the
listed specifications may be less than those shown if the cost of insurance
charges were increased.
The hypothetical gross annual investment rates of return shown above and
elsewhere in this prospectus are illustrative only and should not be deemed a
representation of past or future investment rates of return.
Actual investment rates of return may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates, rates of
inflation, and the allocations made by an owner among the investment options.
The gross hypothetical investment rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% shown
above correspond to net annual rates of -1.48%, 4.52%, and 10.52%. The death
benefit and account value for a policy will be different from those shown if
the actual investment rate of return averages 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period of
years, but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual policy
years. No representations can be made by GE Life & Annuity or the funds that
these hypothetical investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year
or sustained over any period of time.

(1) The values illustrated assume that the planned premium of $8,300 is paid at
the beginning of each Policy year. Values will be different if premiums are
paid with a different frequency or in different amounts.
(2) The values and benefits are as of the end of the year shown. They assume
that no Policy loans or withdrawals have been made. Excessive loans or
withdrawals may cause this Policy to lapse because of insufficient account
value.
(3) The values and benefits are shown using the expense charges and cost of
insurance rates currently in effect. Although GE Life & Annuity anticipates
deducting these charges for the forseeable future, THESE CHARGES ARE NOT
GUARANTEED AND COULD BE RAISED AT THE DISCRETION OF GE LIFE & ANNUITY.
Accordingly, even if the assumed hypothetical gross annual investment
return were earned, the values and benefits under an actual Policy with the
listed specifications may be less than those shown if the cost of insurance
charges were increased.
The hypothetical gross annual investment rates of return shown above and
elsewhere in this prospectus are illustrative only and should not be deemed a
representation of past or future investment rates of return.
Actual investment rates of return may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates, rates of
inflation, and the allocations made by an owner among the investment options.
The gross hypothetical investment rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% shown
above correspond to net annual rates of -1.48%, 4.52%, and 10.52%. The death
benefit and account value for a policy will be different from those shown if
the actual investment rate of return averages 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period of
years, but fluctuated above or below those averages for individual policy
years. No representations can be made by GE Life & Annuity or the funds that
these hypothetical investment rates of return can be achieved for any one year
or sustained over any period of time.

(1) The values illustrated assume that the planned premium of $25,800 is paid

are paid with a different frequency or in different amounts.
(2) The values and benefits are as of the end of the year shown. They assume

(3) The values and benefits are shown using the expense charges and cost of
insurance rates currently in effect. Although GE Life & Annuity anticipates
deducting these charges for the forseeable future, THESE CHARGES ARE NOT
GUARANTEED AND COULD BE RAISED AT THE DISCRETION OF GE LIFE & ANNUITY.
Accordingly, even if the assumed hypothetical gross annual investment
return were earned, the values and benefits under an actual Policy with the

charges were increased.
The hypothetical gross annual investment rates of return shown above and

Actual investment rates of return may be more or less than those shown and will
depend on a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates, rates of
inflation, and the allocations made by an owner among the investment options.
The gross hypothetical investment rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% shown
above correspond to net annual of -1.48%, 4.52%, and 10.52%. The Death Benefit
rates and Account Value for a policy will be different from those shown if the
actual investment rate of return averages 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period of

The Board of Directors
GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of GE

Investments Funds, Inc.--S&P 500 Index, Money Market, Total Return,
International Equity, Real Estate Securities, Global Income, Value Equity,
Income, U.S. Equity and Premier Growth Equity Funds; the Oppenheimer Variable
Account Funds--Bond/VA, Capital Appreciation/VA, Aggressive Growth/VA, High
Income/VA and Multiple Strategies/VA Funds; the Variable Insurance Products
Fund--Equity-Income, Growth and Overseas Portfolios; the Variable Insurance
Products Fund II--Asset Manager and Contrafund Portfolios; the Variable
Insurance Products Fund III--Growth & Income and Growth Opportunities
Portfolios; the Federated Insurance Series--American Leaders, High Income Bond
and Utility Funds II; the Alger American Fund--Small Capitalization and Growth
Portfolios; the PBHG Insurance Series Fund, Inc.--PBHG Large Cap Growth and
PBHG Growth II Portfolios; the Janus Aspen Series--Aggressive Growth, Growth,
Worldwide Growth, Balanced, Flexible Income, International Growth and Capital
Appreciation Portfolios; the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust--Growth
and Income and Mid Cap Value Funds; and the Salomon Brothers Variable Series
Fund Inc.--Strategic Bond, Investors, and Total Return Funds) as of December
31, 1999 and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets
for the aforementioned funds and the GE Investments Funds, Inc.--Government
Securities Fund; the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds--Money Fund; the
Variable Insurance Products Fund--Money Market and High Income Portfolios; and
the Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management Trust--Balanced, Bond and Growth
Portfolios, for each of the years or lesser periods in the three-year period
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Account'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. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1999,
by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agent. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective
portfolios constituting GE Life & Annuity Separate Account II as of
December 31, 1999 and the results of their operations and changes in their net
assets for each of the years or lesser periods in the three-year period then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

GE LIFE & ANNUITY SEPARATE ACCOUNT II
Notes to Financial Statements -- Continued
December 31, 1999
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- Continued
(d) Federal Income Taxes
The Account is not taxed separately because the operations of the Account
are part of the total operations of GE Life & Annuity. GE Life & Annuity is
taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).
GE Life & Annuity is included in the General Electric Capital Assurance
Company consolidated federal income tax return. Under existing federal income
tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment income or on the capital gains
of the Account.
(e) Use of Estimates
Financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect amounts and disclosures reported therein. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
(3) Related Party Transactions
Net premiums transferred from GE Life & Annuity to the Account represent
gross premiums recorded by GE Life & Annuity on its flexible premium variable
life insurance policies, less deductions of 7.5% retained as compensation for
certain distribution expenses and premium taxes. In addition, there is a
deferred sales charge of up to 45% of the first year's premiums. This charge
will be deducted from the policy's cash value in equal installments at the
beginning of each of the policy years two through ten with any remaining
installments deducted at policy lapse or surrender.
If a policy is surrendered or lapses during the first nine years for Type I
policies or 15 years for Type II policies, a charge is made by GE Life &
Annuity to cover the expenses of issuing the policy. The charge is a stated
percentage of the insurance amount and varies by the age of the policyholder
when issued and period of time that the policy has been in force. A charge
equal to the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount paid on a partial surrender
will be made to compensate GE Life & Annuity for the costs incurred in
connection with the partial surrender.
A charge based on the policy specified amount of insurance, death benefit
option, cash values, duration, the insured's sex, issue age and risk class is
deducted from the policy cash values each month to compensate GE Life &
Annuity for the cost of insurance and any benefits added by rider. In
addition, GE Life & Annuity charges the Account for the mortality and expense
risk that GE Life & Annuity assumes. This charge is deducted daily at an
effective annual rate of .70% of the net assets of the Account. For policies
issued on or after May 1, 1993, GE Life & Annuity will deduct a monthly
administrative charge of $6 from the policy cash value and for policies issued
prior to May 1, 1993, GE Life & Annuity will deduct a monthly administrative
charge of $5 from the policy cash value.
GE Investments Funds, Inc. (the Fund) is an openend diversified management
investment company.
Capital Brokerage Corporation, an affiliate of GE Life & Annuity, is a
Washington Corporation registered with the Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Capital Brokerage Corporation serves
as principal underwriter for variable life insurance policies and annuities
issued by GE Life & Annuity.
GE Investment Management Incorporated (Investment Advisor), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GE, currently serves as investment advisor to GE Investments
Funds, Inc. As compensation for its services, the Investment Advisor is paid
an investment advisory fee by the Fund based on the average daily net assets
at an effective annual rate of .35% for the S&P 500 Index Fund, .50% for the
Money Market, Income Fund and Total Return Funds, 1.00% for the International
Equity Fund,.85% for the Real Estate Securities Fund, .60% for the Global
Income Fund, .65% for the Value Equity and Premier Growth Equity Funds, and

as investment advisor to the Fund and was subject to the same compensation
arrangement as GE Investment Management Incorporated.
Certain officers and directors of GE Life & Annuity are also officers and
directors of Capital Brokerage Corporation.

consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GE Life
and Annuity Assurance Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for insurance-related assessments in
1999.

GE LIFE AND ANNUITY ASSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
(Dollar amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the historical
operations and accounts of GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company and its
subsidiary, Assigned Settlements Inc. (collectively the "Company" or
"GELAAC"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Effective January 1, 1999, an affiliated company, The Harvest Life Insurance
Company ("Harvest") merged into The Life Insurance Company of Virginia ("LOV")
with the merged Company renamed GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company
("GELAAC"). Harvest's former parent, Federal Home Life Insurance Company
("FHLIC"), received common stock of GELAAC in exchange for its interest in
Harvest. FHLIC is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GE Financial
Assurance Holdings, Inc. ("GEFAHI"). As the merged entities were under common
control, the transaction has been accounted for similar to a pooling of
interests. Accordingly, the GELAAC consolidated financial statements have been
restated for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 as if Harvest had been
a part of LOV as of January 1, 1997.
The majority of GELAAC's outstanding common stock is owned by General Electric
Capital Assurance Company ("GECA"). GECA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
GEFAHI, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric
Capital Corporation ("GECC"). GECC is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
General Electric Company.
(b) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
basis of generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for insurance
companies, which vary in several respects from accounting practices prescribed
or permitted by the Insurance Commissioner of the state where the Company is
domiciled. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(c) Products
The Company's product offerings are divided along two major segments of
consumer needs: (i) Wealth Accumulation and Transfer and (ii) Lifestyle
Protection and Enhancement.
The Company's principal product lines under the Wealth Accumulation and
Transfer segment are (i) annuities (deferred and immediate; either fixed or
variable); (ii) life insurance (universal, ordinary and group), (iii)
guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") including funding agreements and (iv)
mutual funds. Wealth Accumulation and Transfer products are used by customers
as vehicles for accumulating wealth, often on a tax-deferred basis,
transferring wealth to beneficiaries, or providing a means to replace the
insured's income in the event of premature death. The Company's distribution
of Wealth Accumulation and Transfer products is accomplished through two
distribution methods: (i) intermediaries and (ii) career or dedicated sales
forces.
The Company's principal product lines under the Lifestyle Protection and
Enhancement segment are (i) long-term care insurance and (ii) supplemental
accident and health insurance. Lifestyle Protection and Enhancement products
are used by customers as vehicles to protect their income and assets from the
adverse economic impacts of significant health care costs or other
unanticipated events that cause temporary or permanent loss of earnings
capabilities (including the ability to repay certain indebtedness). The
Company's distribution of Lifestyle Protection and Enhancement products is
accomplished through two distribution methods: (i) intermediaries and (ii)
career or dedicated sales forces.
Approximately 17%, 20% and 27% of premium and annuity consideration collected,
in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, came from customers residing in the
South Atlantic region of the United States, and approximately 17%, 27% and 13%
of premium and annuity consideration collected, in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively, came from customers residing in the Mid-Atlantic region of the
United States.

GE LIFE AND ANNUITY ASSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
(Dollar amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- Continued
Although the Company markets its products through numerous distributors,
approximately 28%, 20% and 19% of the Company's sales in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively, have been through two specific national stockbrokerage firms
(part of the Wealth Accumulation and Transfer segment.) Loss of all or a
substantial portion of the business provided by these stockbrokerage firms
could have a material adverse effect on the business and operations of the
Company. The Company does not believe, however, that the loss of such business
would have a long-term adverse effect because of the Company's competitive
position in the marketplace and the availability of business from other
distributors.
(d) Revenues
Investment income is recorded when earned. Realized investment gains and
losses are calculated on the basis of specific identification. Premiums on
long-duration insurance products are recognized as earned when due or, in the
case of life contingent immediate annuities, when the contracts are issued.
Premiums received under annuity contracts without significant mortality risk
and premiums received on universal life products are not reported as revenues
but as future annuity and contract benefits. Cost of insurance is charged to
universal life policyholders based upon at risk amounts, and is recognized as
revenue when due. Variable product fees are charged to variable annuity and
variable life policyholders based upon the daily net assets of the
policyholders' account values, and are recognized as revenue when charged.
Other income consists primarily of surrender charges on certain policies.
Surrender charges are recognized as income when the policy is surrendered.
(e) Investments
The Company has designated its fixed maturities (bonds, notes, mortgage-backed
securities, asset-backed securities, and redeemable preferred stock) and
equity securities (common and non-redeemable preferred stock) as available-
for-sale. The fair value for fixed maturities and equity securities is based
on individual quoted market prices, where available. For fixed maturities not
actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from
independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, are
estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market
rate applicable to the credit quality, call features and maturity of the
investments, as applicable.
Changes in the market values of investments available-for-sale, net of the
effect on deferred policy acquisition costs, present value of future profits
and deferred federal income taxes are reflected as unrealized investment gains
or losses and, accordingly, have no effect on net income, but are shown as a
separate component of accumulated non-owner changes in equity in the
consolidated statements of shareholders' interest. Unrealized losses that are
considered other than temporary are recognized in earnings through an
adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the underlying securities.
Additionally, reserves for mortgage loans and certain other long-term
investments are established based on an evaluation of the respective
investment portfolio, past credit loss experience, and current economic
conditions. Writedowns and the change in reserves are included in realized
investment gains and losses in the consolidated statements of income. In
general, the Company ceases to accrue investment income when interest or
dividend payments are 90 days in arrears.
Investment income on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is initially
based upon yield, cash flow and prepayment assumptions at the date of
purchase. Subsequent revisions in those assumptions are recorded using the
retrospective method, whereby the amortized cost of the securities is adjusted
to the amount that would have existed had the revised assumptions been in
place at the date of purchase. The adjustments to amortized cost are recorded
as a charge or credit to investment income. Realized gains and losses are
accounted for on the specific identification method.
Mortgage loans and policy loans are carried at their unpaid principal balance,
net of allowances for estimated uncollectible amounts. Short-term investments
are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Equity securities
are carried at fair value. Investments in limited partnerships are accounted
for under the equity method of accounting. Real estate is carried generally at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Other long-term investments are carried
generally at amortized cost.

GE LIFE AND ANNUITY ASSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
(Dollar amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- Continued
Under certain securities lending transactions, the Company requires the
borrower provide collateral, consisting primarily of cash and government
securities, on a daily basis, in amounts equal to or exceeding 102% of the
market value of the applicable securities loaned.
(f) Deferred Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs include costs and expenses which vary with and are primarily
related to the acquisition of insurance and investment contracts.
Deferred acquisition costs include first-year commissions in excess of
recurring renewal commissions, certain solicitation and printing costs, and
certain support costs such as underwriting and policy issue expenses. For
investment and universal life type contracts, amortization is based on the
present value of anticipated gross profits from investments, interest
credited, surrender and other policy charges, and mortality and maintenance
expenses. Amortization is adjusted retroactively when current or estimates of
future gross profits to be realized are revised. For other long-duration
insurance contracts, the acquisition costs are amortized in relation to the
estimated benefit payments or the present value of expected future premiums.
Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed to determine if they are recoverable
from future income, including investment income, and, if not considered
recoverable, are charged to expense.
(g) Intangible Assets
Present Value of Future Profits -- In conjunction with the acquisition of
the Company, a portion of the purchase price was assigned to the right to
receive future gross profits arising from existing insurance and investment
contracts. This intangible asset, called present value of future profits
(PVFP), represents the actuarially determined present value of the projected
future cash flows from the acquired policies.
Goodwill -- Goodwill is amortized over a period of 20 years on the
straight-line method. Goodwill in excess of associated expected operating cash
flows is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value. No such
write-downs have occurred.
(h) Federal Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes have been provided for the effects of temporary
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and have been measured using the enacted marginal tax rates and
laws that are currently in effect.
(i) Reinsurance
Premium revenue, benefits, underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses
are reported net of the amounts relating to reinsurance ceded to other
companies. Amounts due from reinsurers for incurred future claims are
reflected in the reinsurance recoverable asset. The cost of reinsurance is
accounted for over the terms of the related treaties using assumptions
consistent with those used to account for the underlying reinsured policies.
(j) Future Annuity and Contract Benefits
Future annuity and contract benefits consist of the liability for investment
contracts, insurance contracts and accident and health contracts. Investment
contract liabilities are generally equal to the policyholder's current account
value. The liability for insurance and accident and health contracts is
calculated based upon actuarial assumptions as to mortality, morbidity,
interest, expense and withdrawals, with experience adjustments for adverse
deviation where appropriate.

December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
(Dollar amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- Continued
(k) Liability for Policy and Contract Claims
The liability for policy and contract claims represents the amount needed to
provide for the estimated ultimate cost of settling claims relating to insured
events that have occurred on or before the end of the respective reporting
period. The estimated liability includes requirements for future payments of
(a) claims that have been reported to the insurer, and (b) claims related to
insured events that have occurred but that have not been reported to the
insurer as of the date the liability is estimated.
(l) Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
The separate account assets and liabilities represent funds held for the
exclusive benefit of the variable annuity and variable life contract owners.
The Company receives mortality risk fees and administration charges from the
variable mutual fund portfolios. The separate account assets are carried at
fair value and are equivalent to the liabilities that represent the
policyholders' equity in those assets.
The Company has periodically transferred capital to the separate accounts to
provide for the initial purchase of investments in new mutual fund portfolios.
As of December 31, 1999, approximately $44.3 of the Company's other invested
assets related to its capital investments in the separate accounts.
(m) Interest Rate Risk Management
As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in derivatives trading,
market-making or other speculative activities.
The Company uses interest rate floors primarily to minimize risk on investment
contracts with minimum guaranteed interest rates. The Company requires all
interest rate floors to be designated and accounted for as hedges of specific
assets, liabilities or committed transactions; resulting payments and receipts
are recognized contemporaneously with effects of hedged transactions. A
payment or receipt arising from early termination of an effective hedge is
accounted for as an adjustment to the basis of the hedged transaction.
Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated
with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the
inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in market values of hedged
instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market values of
underlying hedges items both at inception of the hedge and over the life of
the hedge contract. Any instrument designated but ineffective as a hedge is
marked to market and recognized in operations immediately.

securities, asset-backed securities, maturities, calls and sinking fund
payments.
Net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and other invested
assets classified as available-for-sale are reduced by deferred income taxes
and adjustments to the present value of future profits and deferred policy
acquisition costs that would have resulted had such gains and losses been
realized. Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment
securities and other invested assets reflected as a separate component of
shareholders' interest as of December 31, are summarized as follows:

As required by law, the Company has investments on deposit with governmental
authorities and banks for the protection of policyholders of $5.9 and $10.8 as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
As of December 31, 1999, approximately 26.1% and 16.1% of the Company's
investment portfolio is comprised of securities issued by the manufacturing
and financial industries, respectively, the vast majority of which are rated
investment grade, and which are senior secured bonds. No other industry group
comprises more than 10% of the Company's investment portfolio. This portfolio
is widely diversified among various geographic regions in the United States,
and is not dependent on the economic stability of one particular region.
As of December 31, 1999 the Company did not hold any fixed maturity securities
which exceeded 10% of shareholders' interest.

Bonds with ratings ranging from AAA/Aaa to BBB-/Baa are generally regarded as
investment grade securities. Some agencies and treasuries (that is, those
securities issued by the United States government or an agency thereof) are
not rated, but all are considered to be investment grade securities. Finally,
some securities, such as private placements, have not been assigned a rating
by any rating service and are therefore categorized as "not rated." This has
neither positive nor negative implications regarding the value of the
security.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, there were fixed maturities in default with a
fair value of $1.0 and $4.5, respectively.

"Impaired" loans are defined under generally accepted accounting principles as
loans for which it is probable that the lender will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement.
That definition excludes, among other things, leases or large groups of
smaller-balance homogenous loans, and therefore applies principally to the
Company's commercial loans.
Under these principles, the Company has two types of "impaired" loans as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998: loans requiring allowances for losses and loans
expected to be fully recoverable because the carrying amount has been reduced
previously through charge-offs or deferral of income recognition ($12.5 and
$11.3, respectively). There was no allowance for losses on these loans as of
December 31, 1999 or 1998. Average investment in impaired loans during 1999,
1998 and 1997 was $15.0, $20.0 and $23.0 and interest income earned on these
loans while they were considered impaired was $2.6, $1.8 and $2.0 for the
years ended 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The following table shows the activity in the allowance for losses during the
years ended December 31:

The allowance for losses on mortgage loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998
represented 2.8% and 2.7% of gross mortgage loans, respectively.
The Company had $4.5 and $5.6 of non-income producing mortgage loan
investments as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.

(4) Intangibles
(a) Present Value of Future Profits
PVFP reflects the estimated fair value of the Company's life insurance
business in-force and represents the portion of the cost to acquire the
Company that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash
flows from investment and insurance contracts existing at the date of
acquisition. Such value is the present value of the actuarially determined
projected cash flows for the acquired policies discounted at an appropriate
rate.
PVFP is amortized, net of accreted interest, in a manner similar to the
amortization of deferred acquisition costs. Interest accretes at rates
credited to policyholders on underlying contracts. Recoverability of PVFP is
evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of expected future
gross profits to the unamortized asset balance. If such a comparison indicates
that the expected gross profits will not be sufficient to recover PVFP, the
difference is charged to expense.
PVFP is further adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains or losses
on fixed maturities classified as available for sale in the investment
portfolios. Such adjustments are not recorded in the Company's net income but
rather as a credit or charge to shareholders' interest, net of applicable
income tax.
The components of PVFP are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998 1997
------ ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Unamortized balance -- at January 1................ $367.0 $426.9 $487.9

The estimated percentage of the December 31, 1999 balance, before the effect
of unrealized investment gains or losses, to be amortized over each of the
next five years is as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
2000................................... 14.7%
2001................................... 12.4
2002................................... 10.2
2003................................... 8.5
2004................................... 7.2
</TABLE>
(b) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the
assets acquired, less the fair value of the liabilities assumed which has been
pushed-down to the consolidated financial statements by the Company's parent.
Adjustments to the purchase price related to pre-acquisition contingencies are
recorded as adjustments to goodwill in the period in which they are resolved.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, total unamortized goodwill was $121.4 and
$134.2, respectively, which is shown net of accumulated amortization and
adjustments of $36.1 and $50.9 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Goodwill amortization was $6.0, $4.9, and $8.7 for the years
ending December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Adjustments to goodwill
totaled ($6.8), ($27.6) and ($1.9) for the years ending December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

(5) Reinsurance and Claim Reserves
GELAAC is involved in both the cession and assumption of reinsurance with
other companies. Although these reinsurance agreements contractually obligate
the reinsurers to reimburse the Company, they do not discharge the Company
from its primary liabilities and the Company remains liable to the extent that
the reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations.
In order to limit the amount of loss retention, certain policy risks are
reinsured with other insurance companies. The maximum of individual ordinary
life insurance normally retained by the Company on any one life policy is $1.
The Company does not have significant reinsurance contracts with any one
reinsurer that could have a material impact on its results of operations.
A summary of reinsurance activity is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998 1997
------ ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Direct............................................... $348.0 $427.5 $412.7

------ ------ ------
Net premiums earned.................................. $252.9 $251.6 $299.0
------ ------ ------
Percentage of amount assumed to net.................. 7% 8% 7%
====== ====== ======
</TABLE>
Due to the nature of the Company's insurance contracts, premiums earned
approximate premiums written. The above premium amounts include cost of
insurance charges on universal life policies.
During 1998 and 1997, a significant portion of GELAAC's ceded premiums related
to group life and health premiums. During 1998 and 1997, GELAAC was the
primary carrier for the State of Virginia employees group life and health
plan. By statute, GELAAC had to reinsure these risks with other Virginia
domiciled companies who wished to participate.
Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses are net of reinsurance of $68.2,
$112.4 and $85.6 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
(6) Future Annuity and Contract Benefits
(a) Investment Contracts
Investment contracts are broadly defined to include contracts without
significant mortality or morbidity risk. Payments received from sales of
investment contracts are recognized by providing a liability equal to the
current account value of the policyholder's contracts. Interest rates credited
to investment contracts are guaranteed for the initial policy term with
renewal rates determined as necessary by management.
(b) Insurance Contracts
Insurance contracts are broadly defined to include contracts with significant
mortality and/or morbidity risk. The liability for future benefits of
insurance contracts is the present value of such benefits based on mortality,
morbidity, and other assumptions which were appropriate at the time the
policies were issued or acquired. These assumptions are periodically evaluated
for potential premium deficiencies. Reserves for cancelable accident and
health insurance are based upon unearned premiums, claims incurred but not
reported, and claims in the process of settlement. This estimate is based on
the experience of the insurance industry and the Company, adjusted for current
trends. Any changes in the estimated liability are reflected in income as the
estimates are revised.

(7) Income Taxes
GELAAC and its subsidiary have been included in the life insurance company
consolidated federal income tax return of GECA and are also subject to a
separate tax-sharing agreement, as approved by state insurance regulators, the
provisions of which are substantially the same as the tax-sharing agreement
with GE Capital. As such the Company is not at risk for income taxes nor
entitled to recoveries related to post-acquisition periods.
The total provision for income taxes at December 31, consisted of the

</TABLE>
Based on an analysis of the Company's tax position, management believes it
is more likely than not that the results of future operations and
implementation of tax planning strategies will generate sufficient taxable
income enabling the Company to realize remaining deferred tax assets.
Accordingly, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is deemed
necessary.
The Company paid $41.8, $25.6 and $70.6, for federal and state income taxes
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(8) Related Party Transactions
GELAAC pays investment advisory fees and other fees to affiliates. Amounts
incurred for these items aggregated $14.8, $11.5 and $11.9 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. GELAAC charges affiliates for
certain services and for the use of facilities and equipment which aggregated
$45.1, $19.1 and $4.6, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
GELAAC pays interest on outstanding amounts under a credit funding
agreement with GNA Corporation, the parent company of GECA. Interest expense
under this agreement was $1.9 and $2.2 with no outstanding borrowings at
December 31, 1999 and $64.3 outstanding at December 31, 1998.
During 1998, GELAAC sold $18.5 of third-party preferred stock investments
to an affiliate. This resulted in a gain on sale of $3.9, which is included in
net realized investment gains.
(9) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Mortgage Loan Commitments
GELAAC has certain investment commitments to provide fixed-rate loans. The
investment commitments, which would be collateralized by related properties of
the underlying investments, involve varying elements of credit and market
risk. Investment commitments outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
totaled $30.8 and $75.9, respectively.
(b) Guaranty Association Assessments
The Company is required by law to participate in the guaranty associations
of the various states in which they do business. The state guaranty
associations ensure payment of guaranteed benefits, with certain restrictions,
to policyholders of impaired or insolvent insurance companies by assessing all
other companies involved in similar lines of business.

state guaranty associations during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, accounts payable and accrued expenses include $4.1
and $17.8, respectively, related to estimated future payments.
(c) Litigation
The Company and its subsidiary are defendants in various cases of litigation
considered to be in the normal course of business. The Company believes that
the outcome of such litigation will not have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

The Company has no derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 other than mortgage loan commitments of $53.0 and $83.8 and interest
rate floors of $13.9 and $17.2, respectively. The notional value of the
interest rate floors at December 31, 1999 and 1998, was $1,800 and the floors
expire from September 2003 to October 2003.
The fair values of financial instruments presented in the applicable notes to
the Company's consolidated financial statements are estimates of the fair
values at a specific point in time using available market information and
valuation methodologies considered appropriate by management. These estimates
are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment in
the interpretation of current market data. Therefore, the fair values
presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize
or settle currently. The Company does not necessarily intend to dispose of or
liquidate such instruments prior to maturity.
Financial instruments that, as a matter of accounting policy, are reflected in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value are not
included in the following disclosures. Such items include fixed maturities,
equity securities and certain other invested assets. The carrying value of
policy loans and short-term investments approximate fair value at both
December 31, 1999 and 1998.
At December 31, the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company's financial
instruments were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998
----------------- -----------------
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair

<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>

Interest rate floors.................... 13.9 1.2 17.2 12.5
</TABLE>
The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the estimated
future cash flows using interest rates applicable to current loan origination,
adjusted for credit risk.
The estimated fair value of investment contracts is the amount payable on
demand (cash surrender value) for deferred annuities and the net present value
based on interest rates currently offered on similar contracts for non-life
contingent immediate annuities. Fair value disclosures are not required for
insurance contracts.

(11) Restrictions on Dividends
Insurance companies are restricted by states as to the aggregate amount of
dividends they may pay to their parent in any consecutive twelve-month period
without regulatory approval. Generally, dividends may be paid out of earned
surplus without approval with thirty days prior written notice within certain
limits. The limits are generally based on 10% of the prior year surplus (net
of adjustments in some cases) and prior year statutory income (net gain from
operations, net income adjusted for realized capital gains, or net investment
income). Dividends in excess of the prescribed limits or the Company's earned
surplus require formal state insurance commission approval. The maximum
dividend payout which may be made without prior approval in 2000 is $54.2.
On December 3, 1998, the Company received approval from the Commonwealth of
Virginia for, and declared, a dividend payable in cash, preferred stock and/or
common stock at the election of each shareholder. GEFAHI elected to receive
cash and preferred stock and GECA elected to receive common stock. A cash
dividend of $120 was paid and a Series A preferred stock dividend of $120 was
issued to GEFAHI on December 15, 1998. The Series A preferred stock has a par
value of $1,000 per share, is redeemable at par at the Company's election, and
is not subject to call penalties. Dividends on the preferred stock are
cumulative and payable semi-annually at the annual rate of 8.0% of the par
value. The Series A preferred stock is not convertible into any other security
of the Company, and the holders thereof have no voting rights except with
respect to any proposed changes in the preferences and special rights of such
stock. GECA received its dividend in the form of 18,641 shares of newly issued
common stock in 1999.
(12) Supplementary Financial Data
The Company files financial statements with state insurance regulatory
authorities and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC")
that are prepared on an accounting basis prescribed by such authorities
(statutory basis). Statutory accounting practices differ from GAAP in several
respects, causing differences in reported net income and shareholders'
interest. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting
practices not so prescribed but that have been specifically allowed by state
insurance authorities. The Company has no significant permitted accounting
practices.
At December 31, statutory net income and statutory capital and surplus is
summarized below:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998 1997
------ ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Statutory net income................................... $ 70.8 $ 70.1 $ 80.9
Statutory capital and surplus.......................... $542.5 $577.5 $600.0
</TABLE>
The NAIC adopted Risk Based Capital ("RBC") requirements to evaluate the
adequacy of statutory capital and surplus in relation to risks associated with
(i) asset quality, (ii) insurance risk, (iii) interest rate risk, and (iv)
other business factors. The RBC formula is designated as an early warning tool
for the states to identify possible under-capitalized companies for the
purpose of initiating regulatory action. In the course of operations, the
Company periodically monitors its RBC level. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
the Company exceeded the minimum required RBC levels.
(13) Operating Segment Information
The Company conducts its operations through two business segments: (1) Wealth
Accumulation and Transfer, comprised of products intended to increase the
policyholder's wealth, transfer wealth to beneficiaries or provide a means for
replacing the income of the insured in the event of premature death, and (2)
Lifestyle Protection and Enhancement, comprised of products intended to
protect accumulated wealth and income from the financial drain of unforeseen
events. See Note (1)(c) for further discussion of the Company's principal
product lines within these two segments.

(14) Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement No. 133), effective for GELAAC
on January 1, 2001 (as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 137, Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement No. 133.) Upon adoption,
all derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts) will be recognized in the balance sheets at fair value,
and changes in such fair values must be recognized immediately in earnings
unless specific hedging criteria are met. Changes in the values of derivatives
meeting these hedging criteria will ultimately offset related earnings effects
of the hedged items; effects of qualifying changes in fair value are to be
recorded in equity pending recognition in earnings. Certain significant
refinements and interpretations of Statement 133 are being deliberated by the
FASB, and the effects on accounting for GELAAC financial instruments will
depend to some degree on the results of such deliberations. Management has not
determined the total probable effects of adopting Statement 133, and does not
believe that an estimate of such effects would be meaningful at this time.
(15) Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement of
Position ("SOP") No. 97-3, Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments. This SOP provided guidance on accounting by
insurance and other enterprises for guaranty-fund and certain other insurance-
related assessments. The SOP requires enterprises to recognize (1) a liability
for assessments when (a) an assessment has been asserted or information
available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates it is
probable that an assessment will be asserted, (b) the underlying cause of the
asserted or probable assessment has occurred on or before the date of the
financial statements, and (c) the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated and (2) an asset for an amount when it is probable that a paid or
accrued assessment will result in an amount that is recoverable from premium
tax offsets or policy surcharges from in-force policies.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted SOP No. 97-3 and has reported
the favorable impact of this adoption as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle resulting in an increase to net income of $5 (net of
income taxes of $2.8).

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
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
Sections 13.1-698 and 13.1-702 of the Code of Virginia, in brief, allow a
corporation to indemnify any person made party to a proceeding because such
person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation,
against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) he conducted himself in
good faith; and (2) he believed that (a) in the case of conduct in his official
capacity with the corporation, his conduct was in its best interests; and (b)
in all other cases, his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's
best interests and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of a
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction is not, of itself,
determinative that the director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation
did not meet the standard of conduct described. A corporation may not indemnify
a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation in connection with a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, in which such person was
adjudged liable to the corporation, or in connection with any other proceeding
charging improper personal benefit to such person, whether or not involving
action in his official capacity, in which such person was adjudged liable on
the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. Indemnification
permitted under these sections of the Code of Virginia in connection with a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Section 5 of the By-Laws of The Life Insurance Company of Virginia further
provides that:
(a) The Corporation shall indemnify each director, officer and employee
of this Company 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, arbitrative, or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or
employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgements [sic],
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of
the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, had no cause to
believe his conduct unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgement [sic], order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere, shall not of itself create a presumption that the
person did not act in good faith, or in a manner opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, believed his conduct unlawful.
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify each director, officer or employee of
the Corporation who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the Corporation to procure a judgement [sic] in its favor by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent
that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
(c) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) (unless ordered by
a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections
II-1
<PAGE>
(a) and (b). Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of the
directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2)
if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders of the Corporation.
(d) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending an action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
investigative, may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner
provided in subsection (c) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the director, officer or employee to repay such amount to the
Corporation unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to
be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
(e) The Corporation shall have the power to make any other or further
indemnity to any person referred to in this section except an indemnity
against gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) Every reference herein to director, officer or employee shall include
every director, officer or employee, or former director, officer or
employee of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and shall enure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
(g) The foregoing rights and indemnification shall not be exclusive of
any other rights and indemnification to which the directors, officers and
employees of the Corporation may be entitled according to law.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
depositor pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the depositor 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 depositor of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the depositor in
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 depositor 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.
REPRESENTATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 26(E)(2)(A)
GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company hereby represents that the fees and
charges deducted under the Policy, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation
to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks

Ladies and Gentlemen:
With reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement 333-
41031 on Form S-6, filed by GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company and GE Life &
Annuity Separate Account II with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering
flexible premium variable life insurance policies, I have examined such
documents and such law as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the
basis of such examination, it is my opinion that:
1. GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company is duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and has been duly authorized
to issue individual flexible premium variable life insurance policies by the
Bureau of Insurance of the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth
of Virginia.
2. GE Life & Annuity Separate Account II is a duly authorized and existing
separate account established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38.2-3113
of the Code of Virginia.
3. The flexible premium variable life insurance policies, when issued as
contemplated by said Form S-6 Registration Statement, will constitute legal,
validly issued and binding obligations of GE Life and Annuity Assurance
Company.
I hereby consent to the use of this letter, or copy thereof, as an exhibit to
Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-6 (File
Number 333-41031); and the reference to me in said Post-Effective Amendment.

GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company

Richmond, Virginia 23230
Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration by GE Life and
Annuity Assurance Company of a flexible premium variable life insurance policy
("Policies") under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus included in Post-
Effective Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement No. 333-41031 on Form S-6
describes the Policy. I have provided actuarial advice concerning the
preparation of the Registration Statement and the preparation of the Policy form
described in the Registration Statement and Exhibits thereto.
In my professional opinion, the illustration of death benefits and account
values included in the Appendix of the prospectus, based on the assumptions
stated in the illustrations, are consistent with the provisions of the Policy.
The rate structure of the Policy has not been designed so as to make the
relationship between premiums and benefits, as shown in the illustrations,
appear more favorable to a prospective purchaser of a Policy for male age 55
than to prospective purchasers of Policies for males at other ages or
underwriting classes or for females.
Additionally, the prospectus information contained in the examples of the death
benefit options, based on the assumptions stated in those examples, are
consistent with the provisions of the policy.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading "Experts" in the
prospectus.
Sincerely,
Paul Haley, FSA, MAAA
Vice President and Actuary
