Summary of the Policy
Because this is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be
important to you. You should read this entire document carefully before you
decide to purchase a policy.
Overview
The policy is a flexible premium variable universal life policy. Like
traditional life insurance, the policy provides an initial minimum death benefit
and cash benefits that you can access through loans, partial surrenders or a
full surrender. Unlike traditional life insurance, you may choose how to invest
your policy Account Value.
The policy allows you to make certain choices that will tailor the policy to
your needs. When you apply for the policy, we will ask you to make some of these
choices. You may also change your choices to meet your changing insurance needs.
In addition, we may in the future offer several riders to the policy. These
riders will provide you with the flexibility to design an insurance product that
meets your specific needs.
If you select any variable investment options, your policy benefits will vary
based upon the returns earned by those variable investment options. The returns
may be zero or negative and you bear this risk.
Applying for a Policy
When you apply for a policy, you must select the Face Amount. The Face Amount is
the initial amount of life insurance coverage on the Insured. It must be at
least $50,000 when you apply.
Your policy will become effective after:
o We accept your application.
o We receive an initial premium payment in an amount we determine.
o We have completed our review of your application to our satisfaction.
Your Right to Cancel the Policy
Once you receive your policy, you should read the policy. You have the right to
cancel the policy for any reason within the later of:
o 45 days after you sign Part I of the application.
o 10 days after you receive the policy. If required by the state where you
live, we will extend the time period to the number of days required by law.
Premium Payments
Before your policy is effective, you must pay the minimum initial premium. We
will calculate the initial minimum premium based on a number of factors, such as
the age, sex and underwriting rate class of the proposed Insured, the desired
Face Amount, and any supplemental benefits or riders applied for and whether
premiums will be paid by pre-authorized checking. A table is provided in
Appendix A.
When you apply for a policy you will select the amount of premium payments you
plan to pay during the term of the policy. We will establish a minimum for this
amount. You will also select intervals when you plan to pay this pay this
premium amount. This may be monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually.
Pre-authorized checking may be required for monthly payments.
During the term of the policy, you may pay premiums at any time and in any
amount, within limits. Thus, you are not required to pay the planned periodic
premium and you may make payments in addition to the planned periodic premium.
Policy Account Value
We will measure your benefits under the policy by your Policy Account Value.
Your Policy Account Value will reflect:
o the premiums you pay;
o the returns earned by the subaccounts you select;
o the interest earned on the amount allocated to the Guaranteed Account;
o any loans or partial surrenders; and
o the policy charges and expenses we deduct.
Death Benefit
When you apply for a policy, you must select:
o The Face Amount.
o The death benefit option, which determines the manner in which we calculate
the death benefit for your policy.
You may select from two death benefit options. They are:
o Option I: Level Death Benefit Option. The basic death benefit will be the
greater of:
1. The Face Amount; or
2. Policy Account Value on the date of death multiplied by the appropriate
minimum death benefit factor.
o Option II: Increasing Death Benefit Option. The basic death benefit will be
the greater of:
1. The Face Amount plus the Policy Account Value; or
2. Policy Account Value on the date of death multiplied by the appropriate
minimum death benefit factor.
Within limits, you may change the death benefit option and, after the first
Policy Year, may change the Face Amount.
Cash Benefits During the Life of the Insured
During the life of the Insured, your policy has cash benefits that you can
access within limits through loans, partial surrenders or a full surrender.
o Loans -- You may borrow against your Net Cash Surrender Value at any time.
If your policy is a modified endowment contract, the Code may treat the
loan as a taxable distribution of income.
o Partial Surrender -- You may withdraw part of your Policy Account Value
after the first Policy Year. We may deduct an administrative charge. If you
make a partial surrender during the surrender charge period, we will deduct
a surrender charge. A partial surrender may result in a decrease in the
Face Amount of your policy depending upon your death benefit option.
o Full Surrender -- You may surrender your policy for its Net Cash Surrender
Value. If you surrender your policy during the surrender charge period, we
will deduct a surrender charge. A surrender will terminate your policy.
Expenses of the Policy
We deduct expenses related to your policy. These deductions are made:
o from premium, your Policy Account Value and the assets of the subaccounts;
and
o upon certain transactions.
Deduction From Premium -- we will deduct 5% from your premium payments plus a
state specific percent of premium equal to the state and local premium tax rate
applicable to the policy. These deductions are for state premium taxes, federal
taxes, sales and other acquisition related expenses.
Monthly Deductions From Policy Account Value -- we will deduct on each Monthly
Anniversary charges for:
o The administration of your policy.
o The cost of insurance for your policy.
o The costs associated with acquiring and underwriting your policy.
o The cost of any supplemental benefits or riders.
The monthly deduction is deducted from your Accounts on a pro rata basis in the
same proportion as you have Policy Account Value in each Account.
Deductions from Subaccount Net Assets -- we will deduct a daily charge for the
mortality and expense risks we assume at an annual rate not to exceed 0.90% of
your Policy Account Value in the subaccounts.
Deductions Upon Certain Policy Transactions -- If you make a policy transaction,
a charge may apply. They are:
o Transfer Charge -- You may make twelve transfers from your subaccounts each
Policy Year free of charge. Thereafter, we will deduct a fee of $25 per
transfer from the transferred amount.
o Administrative Charge for Partial Surrenders - We currently deduct an
administrative charge of $25 upon a partial surrender. In certain states
the charge may be the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount surrendered.
o Surrender Charge - A surrender charge for partial surrenders is equal to a
pro rata portion of the surrender charge that would apply to a full
surrender. This applies during the first 14 Policy Years and for the first
14 Policy Years immediately following an increase in Face Amount. If you
request a full surrender during the first 14 Policy Years, we may deduct a
surrender charge based on the initial Face Amount. If you request a
surrender within 14 years immediately following an increase in Face Amount,
we will deduct a surrender charge based on the increase in Face Amount. The
surrender charge will be deducted before any surrender proceeds are paid.
o Surrender Charge for Face Amount Decreases -- We may also deduct a
surrender charge from the Policy Account Value upon a decrease in Face
Amount. If you request a decrease in Face Amount during the first 14 Policy
Years, we will deduct a surrender charge based on the initial Face Amount.
If you request a decrease within 14 years immediately following an increase
in Face Amount, we will deduct a surrender charge based on the increase in
Face Amount.
In addition, you will indirectly bear the costs of the investment management
fees and expenses paid from the assets of the portfolios you select.
The following tables are designed to help you understand the various fees and
expenses that you will bear directly or indirectly. The first table shows the
policy charges and deductions you will bear directly under the policy. The
second table shows the fees and expenses of the portfolios that you will bear
indirectly when you purchase a policy.
Policy Charges and Deductions
Transaction Charges
Sales and DAC Tax Charge 5% of each premium payment
Premium Tax Charge(1) 0.50% to 5% of each premium payment
Transfer Charge $25 for each transfer in excess of 12 each Policy Year
Surrender Charge During the first 14 Policy Years and the first years
immediately following an increase in Face Amount, there will be a surrender
charge of up to 25% of the first year premium paid up to a surrender charge
premium plus 4% of the first year premium paid in excess of the surrender
charge premium. (3)

states the charge may Charge the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount
surrendered.

(1) We deduct a premium tax charge equal to the actual state tax rate from each
premium payment. State and local premium tax rates range from 0.50% to 5%.
(2) The current cost of insurance charge will never exceed the guaranteed cost
of insurance charge shown in the policy. The net amount at risk is the
difference between the death benefit divided by 1.0032737 and the current
Policy Account Value. (See "Expenses of the Policy - Cost of Insurance
Charge.")
(3) A policy's surrender charge premium is based on the issue age, sex and
smoker status of the Insured and the Face Amount. For a 45 year old
non-smoking male purchasing $500,000 Face Amount the surrender charge
premium would be $8,530.00. For a 65 year old non-smoking male purchasing
$200,000 Face Amount, the surrender charge premium would be $10,762.00. The
lowest and highest maximum surrender charge will range from $5.60 to
$34.42 per $1,000 of Face Amount. (See Appendix B for additional examples
of surrender charge premiums.)
(4) Current and guaranteed cost of insurance charges are based on the issue age
(or Attained Age in the case of increase in Face Amount), sex, rate class
of the Insured, and Policy Year.

Federal Tax Considerations
Your purchase of, and transactions under, your policy may have tax consequences
that you should consider before purchasing the policy. You may wish to consult a
tax adviser. In general, the death benefit will not be taxable income to the
Beneficiary. You will not be taxed as your Policy Account Value increases. Upon
a distribution from your policy, however, you may be taxed on any increase in
Policy Account Value.
Purchasing a Policy
Applying for a Policy
To purchase a policy, you must complete an application and submit it to us. You
must specify certain information in the application, including the Face Amount,
the death benefit option and supplemental benefit riders, if any. We may also
require information to determine if the Insured is an acceptable risk to us. We
may require a medical examination of the Insured and ask for additional
information.
You may apply for a policy to cover a person who is younger than age 76. A
newborn may be an Insured. The minimum Face Amount is $50,000.
We require a minimum initial premium before we will issue the policy. You may
pay the minimum initial premium when you submit the application or at a later
date.
We will not issue a policy until we have accepted the application. We will
accept an application if it meets our underwriting rules. We reserve the right
to reject an application for any reason or "rate" an Insured as a substandard
risk.
Your policy will become effective after:
o We accept your application.
o We receive an initial premium payment in an amount we determine.
o We have completed our review of your application to our satisfaction.
Your Right to Cancel the Policy
Once you receive your policy, you should read the policy. You have the right to
cancel the policy for any reason within the later of:
o 45 days after you sign Part I of the application; or
o 10 days after you received the policy. If required by the state where you
live, we will extend the time period to the number of days required by law.
This is your "period to examine and cancel."
Your right to cancel also applies to the amount of any increase in Face Amount.
You may cancel the policy by returning it to our Administrative Office or to
your agent within the applicable time with a written request for cancellation.
We will refund you the premium paid on the policy. Thus, the amount we return
will not reflect the returns of the subaccounts you selected in your
application.
Premiums
The policy allows you to select the timing and amount of premium payments within
limits. Send premium payments to our Administrative Office.
Restrictions on Premiums. We may not accept any premium payment:
o If it is less than $50.
o If the premium would cause the policy to fail to qualify as a life
insurance contract as defined in Section 7702 of the Code. We will refund
any portion of any premium that causes the policy to fail. In addition, we
will monitor the policy and will attempt to notify you on a timely basis if
your policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract under
the Code.
o If the premium would increase the amount of our risk under your policy by
an amount greater than that premium amount. In such cases, we may require
satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting that premium.
Minimum Initial Premium. We will calculate the minimum initial premium. The
amount is based on a number of factors, including the age, sex and rating class
of the proposed Insured, the desired Face Amount and any supplemental benefits
or riders applied for and whether premiums will be paid by pre-authorized
checking.
Planned Periodic Premium. When you apply for a policy, you select a plan for
paying level premiums at specified intervals. The intervals may be monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually or annually, for the life of the policy. Pre-authorized
checking may be required for monthly payments. We will establish a minimum
amount that may be used as the planned periodic premium.
You are not required to pay premiums in accordance with this plan. Rather, you
can pay more or less than the planned periodic premium or skip a planned
periodic premium entirely. At any time you can change the amount and frequency
of planned periodic premium by sending a written notice to our Administrative
Office.
Additional Premiums. Additional premiums are premiums other than planned
premiums. Additional premiums may be paid in any amount and at any time subject
to the Code. Depending on the Policy Account Value at the time of an increase in
the Face Amount and the amount of the increase requested, an additional premium
may be needed to prevent your policy from terminating.
Effect of Premium Payments. In general, paying all planned periodic premiums may
not prevent your policy from lapsing. In addition, if you fail to pay any
planned periodic premiums, your policy will not necessarily lapse.
Your policy will lapse only when the Net Cash Surrender Value on a Monthly
Anniversary is less than the amount of that date's monthly deduction. This could
happen if the Net Cash Surrender Value has decreased because:
o of the negative return or insufficient return earned by one or more of the
subaccounts you selected; or
o of any combination of the following -- you have outstanding loans, you have
taken partial surrenders, we have deducted policy expenses, or you have
made insufficient premium payments to offset the monthly deduction.
Grace Period. In order for insurance coverage to remain in force, the Net Cash
Surrender Value on each Monthly Anniversary must be equal to or greater than the
total monthly deductions for that Monthly Anniversary. If it is not, you have a
Grace Period of 61 days during which the policy will continue in force. The
Grace Period begins on the Monthly Anniversary that the Net Cash Surrender Value
is less than the total monthly deductions then due. If we do not receive a
sufficient premium before the end of the Grace Period, the policy will terminate
without value.
We will send you a written notice within 30 days of the beginning of any Grace
Period. The notice will state:
o A Grace Period of 61 days has begun.
o The amount of premium required to prevent your policy from terminating.
This amount is equal to the amount needed to increase the Net Cash
Surrender Value sufficiently to cover total monthly deductions for the next
three (3) Monthly Anniversaries.
If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, we will still pay the death benefit
to the Beneficiary. The amount we pay will reflect a reduction for the unpaid
monthly deductions due on or before the date of the Insured's death.
If your policy lapses with an outstanding loan you may have taxable income.
Premium Allocations. In the application, you specify the percentage of Net
Premiums to be allocated to each subaccount or to the Guaranteed Account.
However, until the period to examine and cancel expires, we invest this amount
in the Money Market Subaccount. On the first business day after the period
expires, we will reallocate your Policy Account Value based on the premium
allocation percentages in your application.
For all subsequent premiums, we will use the allocation percentages you
specified in the application until you change them. You can change the
allocation percentages at any time by sending written notice to our
Administrative Office. The change will apply to all Premiums received with or
after your notice.
Allocation Rules. Your allocation instructions must meet the following
requirements:
o Each allocation percentage must be a whole number; and
o Any allocation to a subaccount must be at least 5%; and the sum of your
allocations must equal 100%.
Crediting Premiums. Your initial Net Premium will be credited to your Policy
Account Value as of the Policy Date. We will credit and invest subsequent Net
Premiums on the date we receive the premium or notice of deposit at our
Administrative Office.
If any premium requires us to accept additional risk, we will allocate this
amount to the Money Market Subaccount until we complete our underwriting. When
accepted, and at the end of the period to examine and cancel the policy, we will
allocate it in accordance with your allocation percentages.

The Investment Options
You may allocate your Policy Account Value to:
o the subaccounts which invest in the variable investment options; or
o the Guaranteed Account.
Variable Investment Options

Guaranteed Investment Option
Under the policy, you may currently allocate your Policy Account Value to the
Guaranteed Account. In addition, if you request a loan, we will allocate part of
your Policy Account Value to the Loan Account which is part of the Guaranteed
Account.
We treat each allocation and transfer separately for purposes of crediting
interest and making deductions from the Guaranteed Account.
Interest Credited On the Guaranteed Account. All of your Policy Account Value
held in the Guaranteed Account will earn interest at a rate we determine in our
sole discretion. This rate will never be less than 4% per year compounded
annually. You assume the risk that interest credited may not exceed the
guaranteed minimum rate of 4% per year. The Loan Account portion of your Policy
Account Value may earn a different interest rate than the remaining portion of
your Policy Account Value in the Guaranteed Account.
Deductions from the Guaranteed Account. We will deduct any transfers, partial
surrenders or any policy expenses from the Guaranteed Account and your variable
investment options on a pro rata basis, unless you provide other directions. No
portion of the Loan Account may be used for this purpose.
The Loan Account will only increase or decrease in value when policy loans are
taken or repayments are made. If an amount is transferred from the Loan Account
to the remaining portion of the guaranteed Policy Account Value, it will be
treated as a new allocation to the Guaranteed Account and will be credited with
interest at the rate then in effect for Guaranteed Account allocations.
Payments from the Guaranteed Account. If we must pay any part of the proceeds
for a loan, partial surrender or full surrender from the Guaranteed Account, we
may defer the payment for up to six months from the date we receive the written
request. If we defer payment from the Guaranteed Account for 30 days or more, we
will pay interest on the amount we deferred at a rate of 4% per year, compounded
annually, until we make payment.
Investing Your Policy Account Value
The policy allows you to choose how to invest your Policy Account Value. Your
Policy Account Value will increase or decrease based on:
o The returns earned by the Subaccounts you select.
o Interest credited on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account.
We will determine your policy benefits based upon your Policy Account Value. If
your Policy Account Value is insufficient, your policy may terminate. If the Net
Cash Surrender Value on a monthly anniversary is less than the amount of that
date's monthly deduction, the policy will be in default and a Grace Period will
begin.
Determining the Policy Account Value
On the Policy Date, your Policy Account Value is equal to your initial Net
Premium. If the Policy Date and the Issue Date are the same day, the Policy
Account Value is equal to your initial premium, less the premium expenses and
monthly deduction.
On each Valuation Date thereafter, your Policy Account Value is equal to:
o Your Policy Account Value held in the subaccounts; and
o Your Policy Account Value held in Guaranteed Account.
Your Policy Account Value will reflect:
o the premiums you pay;
o the returns earned by the subaccounts you select;
o the interest credited on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account;
o any loans or partial surrenders; and
o the policy expenses we deduct.
Policy Account Value in the Subaccounts. We measure your Policy Account Value in
the subaccounts by the value of the subaccounts' accumulation units we credit to
your policy. When you allocate premiums or transfer part of your Policy Account
Value to a subaccount, we credit your policy with accumulation units in that
subaccount. The number of accumulation units equals the amount allocated to the
subaccount divided by that subaccount's accumulation unit value for the
Valuation Date when the allocation is effected.
The number of subaccount accumulation units we credit to your policy will:
o increase when Net Premium is allocated to the subaccount, amounts are
transferred to the subaccount and loan repayments are credited to the
subaccount.
o decrease when the allocated portion of the monthly deduction is taken from
the subaccount, a loan is taken from the subaccount, an amount is
transferred from the subaccount, or a partial surrender, including the
partial surrender charge, is taken from the subaccount.
Accumulation Unit Values. A subaccount's accumulation unit value varies to
reflect the return of the portfolio and may increase or decrease from one
Valuation Date to the next. We arbitrarily set the accumulation unit value for
each subaccount at $10 when the subaccount was established. Thereafter, the
accumulation unit value equals the accumulation unit value for the prior
Valuation Period multiplied by the net investment factor for the current
Valuation Period.
Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor is an index we use to measure
the investment return earned by a subaccount during a Valuation Period. It is
based on the change in net asset value of the portfolio shares held by the
subaccount, and reflects any dividend or capital gain distributions on the
portfolio shares and the deduction of the daily mortality and expense risk
charge.
Guaranteed Policy Account Value. On any Valuation Date, the Guaranteed Account
portion of your Policy Account Value equals:
o the total of all Net Premium, allocated to the Guaranteed Account, plus
o any amounts transferred to the Guaranteed Account, plus
o interest credited on the amounts allocated and transferred to the
Guaranteed Account, less
o the amount of any transfers from the Guaranteed Account, less
o the amount of any partial surrenders, including the partial surrender
charges, taken from the Guaranteed Account, and less
o the allocated portion of the monthly deduction deducted from the Guaranteed
Account, plus
o the amount of the Loan Account.
If you take a loan, we transfer the amount of the loan to the Loan Account held
in the Guaranteed Account. The value of your Loan Account includes transfers to
and from the Loan Account as you take and repay loans and interest credited on
the Loan Account.
Net Policy Account Value. The net Policy Account Value on a Valuation Date is
the Policy Account Value less outstanding loans on that date.
Cash Surrender Value. The Cash Surrender Value on a Valuation Date is the Policy
Account Value reduced by any surrender charge that would assessed if the policy
were surrendered on that date.
Net Cash Surrender Value. The Net Cash Surrender Value on a Valuation Date is
the amount you would receive on a surrender of your policy and is equal to:
o the Cash Surrender Value, less
o the outstanding loan on that date.
Transfers
You may transfer Policy Account Value among the subaccounts and to the
Guaranteed Account after the period to examine and cancel. All transfer requests
must satisfy the following requirements:
o Minimum amount of transfer -- You must transfer at least $250 or, the
balance in the subaccount or the Guaranteed Account, if less;
o Form of transfer request - Transfer requests must be in writing;
o Transfers from the Guaranteed Account -- The maximum you may transfer in a
Policy Year is equal to 25% of your guaranteed Policy Account Value that is
not in the Loan Account. Transfers may be made only during the 60-day
period within 30 days before and following the end of each Policy Year. The
amount transferred must be at least $250 or the Policy Account Value held
in the Guaranteed Account.
Date We Process Your Transfer Request. We must receive your transfer request at
our Administrative Office. We process transfers at the price next computed after
we receive your transfer request. We may, however, defer transfers under the
same conditions as described under "Other Policy Provisions - When Proceeds Are
Paid."
Number of Allowable Transfers/Transfer Charge. We do not currently limit the
number of transfers you may make. We will currently assess a $25 transfer
charge, however, for each transfer in excess of 12 during a Policy Year. All
transfers processed on the same business day will count as one transfer for
purposes of determining the number of transfers you have made in a Policy Year.
We reserve the right to increase or decrease the number of free transfers
allowed in any Policy Year.
We will confirm transfer requests received by fax before processing them. You
should review all confirmations to determine if there have been any unauthorized
transfers.
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar cost averaging is a systematic method of investing at regular intervals.
By investing at regular intervals, the cost of the securities is averaged over
time and perhaps over various market cycles.
Under this program we will automatically transfer monthly a portion of your
Money Market Subaccount value into other subaccounts or the Guaranteed Account
for a period not in excess of 24 months. We will allocate the transfers based on
your current premium allocation instructions. However, no less than 5% may be
allocated to any one subaccount or to the Guaranteed Account. There is no charge
for this option which can be elected at any time provided there is a minimum
balance of $2000 in the Money Market Subaccount. Transfers in connection with
the dollar cost averaging program will not count against the 12 free transfers
in a Policy Year.
Dollar Cost Averaging From a Subaccount. If you instruct us to make the
transfers from the Money Market Subaccount, you may request that we transfer:
o A specified dollar amount -- we will automatically transfer this amount in
accordance with your most current premium allocation instructions for a
specified period until your Policy Account Value in the transferring Money
Market Subaccount is depleted.
o A specified number of months-- we will automatically transfer over a
specific number of months an amount equal to one divided by the number of
months remaining in the period. For example, if you elect to transfer over
a 12 month period, the first transfer will be 1/12 of your Money Market
Subaccount value, the second transfer will be for 1/11, the third transfer
will be for 1/10 and so on until the end of the requested period.
We will begin to process your automatic transfers:
o On the first monthly anniversary following the end of the period to examine
and cancel if you requested the automatic transfers when you applied for
your policy.
o On the second Monthly Anniversary following the receipt of your request at
our Administrative Office if you elect the option after you applied for the
policy.
We will stop processing automatic transfers if:
o The funds in the Money Market Subaccount are depleted;
o We receive you written request at our Administrative Office to cancel
future transfers;
o We receive notification of death of the Insured; or
o Your policy goes into the Grace Period.
Dollar cost averaging may lessen the impact of market fluctuations on your
investment. Using dollar cost averaging does not guarantee investment gains or
protect against loss in a declining market.
Death Benefit
Death Benefit
During the policy term, we will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary after
the Insured's death. To make payment, we must receive at our Administrative
Office:
o satisfactory proof of the Insured's death; and
o the policy.
Payment of Death Benefit. We will pay the death benefit generally within seven
days after we receive the information we require. We will pay the death benefit
to the Beneficiary in one lump sum or, if elected, under a payment option.
Payment of the death benefit may also be affected by other provisions of the
policy.
We will pay interest on the death benefit from the date of the Insured's death
to the date of payment as required by applicable state law.
Amount of Death Benefit. We will determine the death benefit as of the date of
the Insured's death. The death benefit will equal:
o the death benefit amount determined according to the death benefit option
selected; plus
o any other benefits then due from riders to the policy; minus
o the outstanding loan, if any, and accrued loan interest; minus
o any overdue monthly deductions if the Insured dies during a Grace Period.
Death Benefit Options
You may select from two death benefit options.
Option I - Level Death Benefit Option. The basic death benefit will be the
greater of:
(1) the Face Amount; or
(2) Policy Account Value at date of death multiplied by the appropriate
minimum death benefit factor.
Option II - Increasing Death Benefits Option. The basic death benefit will be
the greater of:
(1) the Face Amount plus the Policy Account Value; or
(2) Policy Account Value at date of death multiplied by the appropriate
minimum death benefit factor.
Changes in Death Benefit Options
You may change your death benefit option by providing your agent with a written
request or by writing us at our Administrative Office. We may require that you
submit satisfactory evidence of insurability to us.
If you request a change from Option I to Option II, we will decrease the Face
Amount by an amount equal to your Policy Account Value on the date the change
takes effect. However, we reserve the right to decline to make such a change if
it would reduce the Face Amount below the minimum Face Amount.
If you request a change from Option II to Option I, we will increase the Face
Amount by an amount equal to your Policy Account Value on the date the change
takes effect. Such decreases and increases in the Face Amount are made so that
the death benefit remains the same on the date the change takes effect.
Once approved, we will issue new policy information pages and attach a copy of
your application for change. The change will take effect at the beginning of the
policy month that coincides with or next follows the date we approve your
request. We reserve the right to decline to make any changes that we determine
would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under our
interpretation of the Code.
The change will take effect on the next Monthly Anniversary that coincides with
or next follows the date we approve your request.
Changes in Face Amount
At any time after the first policy anniversary while the policy is in force you
may request a change in the Face Amount. We will not make a change in Face
Amount that causes your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under of the
Code.
Increases in Face Amount. Any request for an increase:
o Must be for at least $10,000.
o May not be requested in the same Policy Year as another request for an
increase.
o May not be requested after the Insured is Attained Age 75.
A written application must be submitted to our Administration Office along with
satisfactory evidence of insurability. You must return the policy so we can
amend it to reflect the increase. The increase in Face Amount will become
effective on the Monthly Anniversary on or next following the date the increase
is approved, and the Policy Account Value will be adjusted to the extent
necessary to reflect a monthly deduction as of the effective date based on the
increase in Face Amount.
Decreases in Face Amount. Any request for a decrease:
o Must be at least $5,000.
o Must not cause the Face Amount after the decrease to be less than the
minimum Face Amount at which we would issue a policy.
o During the first 5 Policy Years, the Face Amount may not be decreased
by more than 10% of the initial Face Amount in any one Policy Year.
o No decrease may be made during the first 12 months following an
increase in Face Amount.
o If the Face Amount is decreased during the first 14 Policy Years or
within 14 Policy Years of an increase in Face Amount, a surrender
charge may be applicable.
Consequences of a Change in Face Amount. Both increases and decreases in Face
Amount may impact the surrender charge. In addition, an increase or decrease in
Face Amount may impact the status of the policy as a modified endowment
contract.
Cash Benefits During the Insured's Life
During the life of the Insured, your policy has cash benefits which you may
access within limits by taking loans, partial surrenders or a full surrender.
Policy Loans
You may request a loan against your policy at any time after the first Policy
Year or after the first 12 months following an increase in Face Amount while the
policy has a Net Cash Surrender Value. We limit the minimum and maximum amount
of loan you may take.
o Maximum Loan Amount. After First Policy Year -- The maximum loan
amount is:
o 90% of Your Net Cash Surrender Value, less
o Any outstanding loans
o Minimum Loan Amount -- $500
You must submit a written request for a loan to the Administrative Office. Loans
will be processed as of the date we receive the request at our Administrative
Office. Loan proceeds generally will be sent to you within seven days.
Interest. We charge interest daily on any outstanding loan at a declared annual
rate not in excess of 8%. The maximum net cost (the difference between the rate
of interest we charge on policy loans and the amount we credit on the equivalent
amount held in the Loan Account) of a loan is 2% per year. Interest is due and
payable at the end of each Policy Year while a loan is outstanding. If interest
is not paid when due, the amount of the interest is added to the loan and
becomes part of the outstanding loan.
For Policy Years 11 and later, a portion of the loanable amount may be available
on a preferred loan basis. The amount available on a preferred basis is the
excess, if any, of the Policy Account Value over the sum of the premiums paid.
For a preferred loan, the interest rate charged and credited to the preferred
portion of the loan value will be the same.
Loan Account. You may direct us to take an amount equal to the loan proceeds and
any amount attributed to unpaid interest from any subaccount or from the
Guaranteed Account. Otherwise, we will withdraw this amount from each Account on
a pro rata basis. We transfer this amount to the Loan Account in the Guaranteed
Account.
When a loan is repaid, an amount equal to the repayment will be transferred from
the Loan Account to the subaccounts and Guaranteed Account in accordance with
your allocation percentages in effect at the time of repayment.
Effect of Loan. A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on
the death benefit and Policy Account Value because the investment results of the
subaccounts and current interest rates credited in the Guaranteed Account will
apply only to the non-loaned portion of the Policy Account Value. The longer the
loan is outstanding, the greater this effect is likely to be. Depending on the
investment results of the subaccounts or credited interest rates for the
Guaranteed Account while the loan is outstanding, the effect could be favorable
or unfavorable.
In addition, loans from modified endowment contracts may be treated for tax
purposes as distributions of income.
If the death benefit becomes payable while a loan is outstanding, the
outstanding loan will be deducted in calculating the death benefit.
If the outstanding loan exceeds the Net Cash Surrender Value on any Monthly
Anniversary, the policy will be in default. We will send you, and any assignee
of record, notice of the default. You will have a 61-day Grace Period to submit
a sufficient payment to avoid termination. The notice will specify the amount
that must be repaid to prevent termination.
Outstanding Loan. The outstanding loan on a Valuation Date equals:
o All loans that have not been repaid (including past due unpaid
interest added to the loan), plus
o accrued interest not yet due.
Loan Repayment. You may repay all or part of your outstanding loan at any time
while the Insured is living and the policy is in force. Loan repayments must be
sent to our Administrative Office and will be credited as of the date received.
Partial Surrenders
You may request a partial surrender at any time after the first policy
anniversary. No more than two partial surrenders may be made during a Policy
Year.
We may limit the minimum and maximum amount of partial surrenders.
o Maximum Partial Surrender Amount - 90% of your policy's Net Cash Surrender
Value except that the partial surrender may not cause the Face Amount to be
less than the required minimum Face Amount.
o Minimum Partial Surrender Amount -- $500
In order to make a partial surrender, you must submit a written request to our
Administrative Office. We will reduce your Policy Account Value by the partial
surrender amount plus any applicable charges. When you request a partial
surrender, you may direct us to take the requested amount from any subaccount or
from the Guaranteed Account. If the Guaranteed Account or subaccount value is
insufficient to withdraw the amount requested, we will withdraw the difference
from the remaining Accounts on a pro rata basis unless you have provided
specific instructions to withdraw the amount from one or several Accounts.
We will process partial surrender requests at the price next computed after we
receive your written request at our Administrative Office. We will generally pay
partial surrenders within seven days.
Expenses for Partial Surrenders. We will deduct the applicable surrender charge
on a partial surrender. This charge will be deducted from your Policy Account
Value along with the amount requested to be surrendered and will be considered
part of the partial surrender (together, the "partial surrender amount").
Currently, we assess an administrative charge equal to the lesser of $25 of the
amount surrendered. In certain states the charge may be the lesser of $25 or 2%
of the amount surrendered.
Effect of Partial Surrender on Your Face Amount. The Face Amount of your policy
will also be reduced by the partial surrender amount if you selected Option I as
your death benefit.
We will reduce the Face Amount by the amount of the partial surrender in the
following order:
1. The most recent increase in the Face Amount, if any, will be reduced first.
2. The next most recent increases in the Face Amount, if any, will then be
successively decreased.
3. The initial Face Amount will then be decreased.
No partial surrender may be made that would reduce the Face Amount below the
minimum Face Amount.
Partial surrenders from your policy may have tax consequences.
Surrendering the Policy for Net Cash Surrender Value.
You may surrender your policy at any time for its Net Cash Surrender Value by
submitting a written request to our Administrative Office. We will require
return of the policy. A surrender charge may apply. We will process a surrender
request as of the date we receive your written request and all required
documents. Your surrender request generally will be paid within seven days. The
Net Cash Surrender Value may be taken in one sum or it may be applied to a
payment option. Your policy will terminate and cease to be in force if it is
surrendered for one sum. It cannot later be reinstated.
Payment Options for Benefits
We offer a wide variety of optional ways of receiving proceeds payable under the
policy, such as on a surrender or death, other than in a lump sum. Any agent
authorized to sell this policy can explain these options upon request. None of
these options vary with the investment performance of a separate account because
they are all forms of guaranteed benefit payments.
Expenses of the Policy
Periodically, we will deduct expenses related to your policy. We will deduct
these:
o from premium, Policy Account Value and from subaccount assets; and
o upon certain transactions.
The amount of these expenses are described in your policy as either guaranteed
or current. We will never charge more than the guaranteed amount. We may in our
discretion deduct on a current basis less than the guaranteed amount.
Deduction From Premium
We will deduct 5% plus a state specific percent of premium from each premium
payment. This charge is intended to provide for state premium taxes, DAC taxes
and for other expenses associated with acquiring and servicing a policy.
Monthly Deductions From Policy Account Value
On the Policy Date and each Monthly Anniversary thereafter, we make a deduction
from the Policy Account Value. On the Issue Date the amount deducted is for the
Policy Date and any Monthly Anniversaries that have elapsed since the Policy
Date. For this purpose, the Policy Date is treated as a Monthly Anniversary. We
will deduct charges on each Monthly Anniversary for:
o The administration of your policy.
o The acquisition and underwriting costs of your policy.
o The cost of insurance for your policy.
o The cost of any supplemental benefits or riders.
We will take the monthly deductions from your Policy Account Value and from each
subaccount on a pro rata basis.
Administrative Charge. This charge compensates us for administrative expenses
associated with the policy and the Separate Account. The policy refers to these
expenses as the "monthly expense charge" and the "additional first year
administrative charge."
Monthly Expense Charge. We will make a deduction from your Policy Account Value
for expenses such as premium billing and collection, record keeping, processing
claims, loans, policy changes, reporting and overhead costs, processing
applications and establishing policy records associated with the administration
of your policy. This charge will vary based on the Policy Face Amount. The chart
below reflects the current and guaranteed monthly expense charges:
Current Guaranteed
Monthly Expense Charge Per Policy Charge Charge
If the Face Amount is between $50,000 and $199,999 $ 7.50 $ 15.00
If the Face Amount is between $200,000 and $499,999 $ 5.00 $ 10.00
If the Face Amount is $500,000 or greater $ 4.00 $ 10.00
First Year Additional Charge $ 20.00 $ 25.00
First Year Administrative Charge. There is an additional monthly expense charge
during the first Policy Year and following an increase in Face Amount for our
expenses associated with the acquisition and underwriting of your policy. We
deduct a monthly charge, not to exceed $25, during the first 12 months after the
Policy Date and the 12 months immediately following a Face Amount increase.
Cost of Insurance Charge. This charge compensates us for providing insurance
coverage. The charge depends on a number of factors, such as Attained Age, sex
and rate class of the Insured, and therefore will vary from policy to policy and
from month to month. For any policy the cost of insurance on a Monthly
Anniversary is calculated by multiplying the cost of insurance rate for the
Insured by the net amount at risk under the policy described below on that
Monthly Anniversary.
The net amount at risk is calculated as (a) minus (b) where:
(a) is the current death benefit at the beginning of the policy month divided by
1.0032737; and (b) is the current total Policy Account Value.
Rate Classes for Insureds. We currently rate Insureds in one of following basic
rate classifications based on our underwriting:
o non-smoker standard
o smoker
o substandard for those involving a higher mortality risk
We place the Insured in a rate class when we issue the policy based on our
underwriting determination. This original rate class applies to the initial Face
Amount. When an increase in Face Amount is requested, we conduct underwriting
before approving the increase (except as noted below) to determine whether a
different rate class will apply to the increase. If the rate class for the
increase has a lower guaranteed cost of insurance rates than the original rate
class, the rate class for the increase also will be applied to the initial Face
Amount. If the rate class for the increase has a higher guaranteed cost of
insurance rates than the original rate class, the rate class for the increase
will apply only to the increase in Face Amount, and the original rate class will
continue to apply to the initial Face Amount.
If there have been increases in the Face Amount, we may use different cost of
insurance rates for the increased portions of the Face Amount. For purposes of
calculating the cost of insurance charge after the Face Amount has been
increased, the Policy Account Value will be applied to the initial Face Amount
first and then to any subsequent increases in Face Amount. If at the time an
increase is requested, the Policy Account Value exceeds the initial Face Amount
(or any subsequently increased Face Amount) divided by 1.0032737, the excess
will then be applied to the subsequent increase in Face Amount in the sequence
of the increases.
In order to maintain the policy in compliance with Section 7702 of the Code,
under certain circumstances an increase in Policy Account Value will cause an
automatic increase in the death benefit. The Attained Age and rate class for
such increase will be the same as that used for the most recent increase in Face
Amount (that has not been eliminated through a subsequent decrease in Face
Amount).
The guaranteed cost of insurance charges at any given time for a substandard
policy with flat extra charges will be based on the guaranteed maximum cost of
insurance rate for the policy (including table rating multiples, if applicable),
the current Net Amount at Risk at the time the deduction is made, plus the
actual dollar amount of the flat extra charge. Our current cost of insurance
rates may be less than the guaranteed rates. Our current cost of insurance rates
will be determined based on our expectations as to future mortality, investment,
expense and persistency experience. These rates may change from time to time. In
our discretion, the current charge may be increased in any amount up to the
maximum guaranteed charge shown in the table.
Cost of insurance rates (whether guaranteed or current) for an Insured in a
nonsmoker risk class are generally lower than rates for an Insured of the same
age and sex in a smoker risk class. Cost of insurance rates (whether guaranteed
or current) for an Insured in a nonsmoker or smoker risk class are generally
lower than rates for an Insured of the same age and sex and smoking status in a
substandard risk class.
Legal Considerations Relating to Sex-Distinct Premiums and Benefits. Mortality
tables for the policy generally distinguish between males and females. Thus,
premiums and benefits under the policy covering males and females of the same
age will generally differ. We do, however, also offer the policy based on unisex
mortality tables if required by state law. Employers and employee organizations
considering purchase of a policy should consult their legal advisers to
determine whether purchase of a policy based on sex-distinct actuarial tables is
consistent with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or other applicable
law. Upon request, we may offer the policy with unisex mortality tables to such
prospective purchasers.
Deduction From Subaccount Assets
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. We deduct a daily charge from your Policy
Account Value in the subaccounts for assuming certain mortality and expense
risks under the policy. This charge does not apply to the amounts you allocate
to the Guaranteed Account. The guaranteed and current charge is at an annual
rate of 0.90% of the subaccount assets. Although, the charge may be decreased to
not less than 0.50% in Policy Years 11 and later, it is guaranteed not to exceed
an annual rate of 0.90% of your Policy Account Value in the subaccounts for the
duration of a policy.
The mortality risk we assume is that the Insured under a policy may die sooner
than anticipated, and therefore we will pay an aggregate amount of death benefit
greater than anticipated. The expense risk we assume is that expenses incurred
in issuing and administering all Policies and the Separate Account will exceed
the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against all
Policies.
Deductions Upon Policy Transactions
Transfer Charge. We currently impose a $25 transfer charge on any transfer of
Policy Account Value among the subaccounts and the Guaranteed Account in excess
of the 12 free transfers permitted each Policy Year. When we impose the charge,
we deduct it from the amount requested to be transferred before allocation to
the new subaccount(s). We will show the transfer charge in the confirmation of
the transaction.
Surrender Charge. If the policy is surrendered or there is a decrease in Face
Amount during the first 14 Policy Years, we will deduct a surrender charge based
on the initial Face Amount. If a policy is surrendered or there is a decrease in
Face Amount within 14 years after an increase in Face Amount, we will deduct a
surrender charge based on the amount by which the Face Amount had been
increased. The surrender charge will be deducted before any surrender proceeds
are paid.
Surrender Charge Calculation. In general, the surrender charge is based on the
premiums you pay. The Surrender Charge will be no greater than the product of
(3) times the sum of (1) and (2) where:
(1) is equal to 25% of the first year paid premium up to the surrender charge
premium (see Appendix B); and (2) is equal to 4% of the first year paid premium
in excess of the surrender charge premium; and (3) is a factor based on the
Policy Year when the surrender occurs as described in the following table:
Policy
Year Factor
1 100%
2 100%
3 100%
4 100%
5 100%
6 90%
7 80%
8 70%
9 60%
10 50%
11 40%
12 30%
13 20%
14 10%
15+ 0%
Surrender Charge Based On An Increase Or Decrease In Face Amount. If you
increase the Face Amount of the policy, we will impose an additional surrender
charge during the 14 Policy Years immediately following the increase. The
additional surrender charge period will begin on the effective date of the
increase. If you reduce the Face Amount of the policy before the end of the 14th
Policy Year or within 14 years immediately following a Face Amount increase, we
may also deduct a pro rata share of any applicable surrender charge from your
Policy Account Value. Reductions will first be applied against the most recent
increase in the Face Amount of the policy. If you have made several increases in
Face Amount, we will apply the surrender charge to prior increases in Face
Amount of the policy in the reverse order in which such increases took place,
before applying the additional surrender charges to the initial Face Amount of
the policy.
Partial Surrender Charge. We may deduct a partial surrender charge:
o upon a partial surrender; and
o if you decrease your Policy's Face Amount.
The amount of the partial surrender charge is equal to a pro rata portion of the
surrender charge that would apply to a full surrender. We deduct the partial
surrender charge, proportionately, from the subaccounts or the Guaranteed
Account affected by your partial surrender.
Partial Surrender Charge Due to Decrease in Face Amount. We will deduct an
amount equal to the applicable surrender charge multiplied by a fraction (equal
to the decrease in Face Amount divided by the Face Amount of the policy prior to
the decrease).
Partial Surrender Administrative Charge. We currently deduct an administrative
charge of $25 upon a partial surrender. In certain states the charge may be the
lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount surrendered.
Discount Purchase Programs
The amount of the surrender charge and other charges under the policy may be
reduced or eliminated when sales of the policy are made to groups of individuals
in a manner that in our opinion results in expense savings. For purchases made
by our officers, directors and employees, those of an affiliate, or any
individual, firm, or a company that has executed the necessary agreements to
sell the policy, and members of the immediate families of such officers,
directors, and employees, we may reduce or eliminate the surrender charge. Any
variation in charges under the policy, including the surrender charge,
administrative charge or mortality and expense risk charge, will reflect
differences in costs or services and will not be unfairly discriminatory.
Supplemental Benefits and Riders
We intend to make available certain supplemental benefits and riders which may
in the future be issued with the policy. Any monthly charges for these
supplemental benefits and riders, as listed below, will be deducted from the
Policy Account Value.
Accelerated Benefit Rider (ABR)
Accidental Death Benefit Rider (ADB)
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB)
Child's Term Rider (CTR)
Other Insured Term Rider (OIR)
Primary Insured Term Rider (PIR)
Waiver of Monthly Deductions (WMD)
Waiver of Specified Premium (WSP)
Other Policy Provisions
Right to Exchange or Convert
You may exchange or convert this policy to a flexible premium fixed benefit life
insurance policy on the life of the Insured without evidence of insurability.
This exchange may be made:
(a) within 24 months after the Issue Date while the policy is in force;
(b) within 24 months of any increase in Face Amount of the policy; or
(c) within 60 days of the effective date of a material change in the
investment policy of a subaccount, or within 60 days of the
notification of such change, if later. In the event of such a change,
we will notify you and give you information on the options available.
When an exchange or conversion is requested, we accomplish the exchange by
transferring all of the Policy Account Value to the Guaranteed Account. There is
no charge for this transfer. Once this option is exercised, the entire Policy
Account Value must remain in the Guaranteed Account for the remaining life of
the new Policy. The Face Amount in effect at the time of the exchange will
remain unchanged. The effective date, issue date and issue age of the Insured
will remain unchanged. The Owner and Beneficiary are the same as were recorded
immediately before the exchange.
Limits on our Rights to Contest the Policy
Incontestability. We will not contest the policy after it has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. Any increase in
the Face Amount will be incontestable with respect to statements made in the
evidence of insurability for that increase after the increase has been in force
during the life of the Insured for two years after the effective date of the
increase.
Suicide Exclusion. If the Insured commits suicide (while sane or insane) within
two years (unless otherwise specified by state law) after the Issue Date, our
liability will be limited to the payment of a single sum. This sum will be equal
to the premiums paid, minus any loan and accrued loan interest, minus any
partial surrender, and minus the cost of any riders attached to the policy. If
the Insured commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years (unless
otherwise specified by state law) after the effective date of an increase in the
Face Amount, then our liability as to the increase in amount will be limited to
the payment of a single sum equal to the monthly cost of insurance deductions
made for such increase plus the expense charge deducted for the increase.
Changes in the Policy or Benefits
Misstatement of Age or Sex. If an Insured's age or sex has been misstated in the
policy, the death benefit and any benefits provided by riders shall be those
which would be purchased at the then current cost of insurance charge for the
correct age and sex.
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 or to make the policy conform with any law or
regulation issued by any government agency to which it is subject.
When Proceeds Are Paid
We will ordinarily pay any death benefit, loan proceeds or partial or full
surrender proceeds within seven days after receipt at our Administrative Office
of all the required documents. Other than the death benefit, which are
determined as of the date of death, the amount will be determined as of the date
we receive the required documents. However, we may delay making a payment or
processing a transfer request if:
(1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than a regular holiday or
weekend, trading is restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
or the Securities and Exchange Commission declares that an emergency
exists; or
(2) the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits postponement of
payment for your protection.
In addition we may delay making deductions from the Guaranteed Account.
Reports to Owners
You will receive a confirmation within seven days of the transaction of:
o the receipt of any unplanned premium (and any premium received before
the Issue Date);
o any change of allocation of premiums;
o any transfer among subaccounts;
o any loan, interest repayment, or loan repayment;
o any partial surrender;
o any return of premium necessary to comply with applicable maximum
receipt of any premium payment;
o any exercise of your right to cancel;
o an exchange of the policy;
o full surrender of the policy; or
o payment of the death benefit under the policy.
Within 30 days after each policy anniversary we will send you a statement. The
statement will show the death benefit currently payable, and the current Policy
Account Value, Cash Surrender Value, and the outstanding loan. The statement
will also show premiums paid, all charges deducted during the last Policy Year,
and all transactions. We will also send to you reports of the investments within
the Separate Account at least annually.
Assignment
You may assign the policy in accordance with its terms on a form provided by us.
We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless we receive a copy of this
assignment form at our Administrative Office. We assume no responsibility for
the validity or sufficiency of any assignment. Any assignment or pledge of a
modified endowment contract as collateral for a loan may result in a taxable
event.
Reinstatement
If the policy has ended without value, you may reinstate policy benefits while
the Insured is alive if you:
1. Request reinstatement of policy benefits within three years (unless
otherwise specified by state law) from the end of the Grace Period;
2. Provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
3. Make a payment of an amount sufficient to cover (i) the total monthly
administrative charges from the beginning of the Grace Period to the
effective date of reinstatement; (ii) total monthly deductions for
three months, calculated from the effective date of reinstatement; and
(iii) the premium expense charge and any increase in surrender charges
associated with this payment. We will determine the amount of this
required payment as if no interest or investment performance were
credited to or charged against your Policy Account Value; and
4. Repay or reinstate any loan which existed on the date the policy
ended.
The effective date of the reinstatement of policy benefits will be the next
Monthly Anniversary which coincides with or next follows the date we approve
your request. From the required payment we will deduct the premium expenses. The
Policy Account Value, loan and surrender charges that will apply upon
reinstatement will be those that were in effect on the date the policy lapsed.
We will start to make monthly deductions again as of the effective date of
reinstatement. The monthly expense charge from the beginning of the Grace Period
to the effective date of reinstatement will be deducted from the Policy Account
Value as of the effective date of reinstatement. No other charges will accrue
for this period.
Performance Information
From time to time we may advertise the "total return" and the "average annual
total return" of the subaccounts and the portfolios. Both total return and
average total return figures are based on historical earnings and are not
intended to indicate future performance.
"Total Return" for a portfolio refers to the total of the income generated by
the portfolio net of total portfolio operating expenses plus capital gains and
losses, realized or unrealized. "Total Return" for the subaccounts refers to the
total of the income generated by the portfolio net of total portfolio operating
expenses plus capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized, and the
mortality and expense risk charge. "Average Annual Total Return" reflects the
hypothetical annually compounded return that would have produced the same
cumulative return if a portfolio's or subaccount's performance had been constant
over the entire period. Because average annual total returns tend to smooth out
variations in the return of the portfolio, they are not the same as actual
year-by-year results.
The performance information set forth in Appendix C reflects the total of the
income generated by the portfolio net of the total portfolio operating expenses
(i.e., management fees and other portfolio expenses), plus capital gains and
losses, realized or unrealized. The performance results do not reflect: monthly
deductions; cost of insurance; surrender charges; sales loads; DAC taxes; and
any state or local premium taxes. If these charges were included, the total
return figures would be lower.
Performance information may be compared, in reports and promotional literature,
to: (i) the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S & P 500"), Dow Jones
Industrial Average ("DJIA"), Shearson Lehman Aggregate Bond Index or other
unmanaged indices so that investors may compare the Subaccount results with
those of a group of unmanaged securities widely regarded by investors as
representative of the securities markets in general; (ii) other groups of
variable life separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual
funds and other investment products by overall performance, investment
objectives, and assets, or tracked by other services, companies, publications,
or persons, such as Morningstar, Inc., who rank such investment products on
overall performance or other criteria; or (iii) the Consumer Price Index (a
measure for inflation) to assess the real rate of return from an investment in
the Subaccount. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends but
generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs and
expenses. We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications
or other materials information on various topics of interest to Owners and
prospective Owners. These topics may include the relationship between sectors of
the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities
markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, market
timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant ratio transfer and
account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in
tax-deferred and taxable investments, customer profiles and hypothetical
purchase and investment scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement
planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other
financial instruments, including comparisons between the policy and the
characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.
Total return data may be advertised based on the period of time that the
portfolios have been in existence. The results for any period prior to the
policy being offered will be calculated as if the policy had been offered during
that period of time, with all charges assumed to be those applicable to the
policy. Performance information for any subaccount in any advertising will
reflect only the performance of a hypothetical investment in the subaccount
during the particular time period on which the calculations are based.
Performance information should be considered in light of the investment
objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio in which
the subaccount invests and the market conditions during the given time period,
and should not be considered as a representation of what may be achieved in the
future. Actual returns may be more or less than those shown in any advertising
and will depend on a number of factors, including the investment allocations by
an Owner and the different investment rates of return for the portfolios.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following summarizes the current federal income tax law that applies to life
insurance in general. This summary does not cover all situations. This summary
is based upon our understanding of the current federal income tax laws and
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. We cannot predict
whether the Code will change. You should speak to a competent tax adviser to
discuss how the purchase of a policy and the transactions you make under the
policy will impact your federal tax liability.
Tax Status of the Policy
A policy has certain tax advantages when it is treated as a "life insurance
contract" under the Code. We believe that the policy meets the definition of a
life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code. You bear the risk that
the policy may not meet the definition of a life insurance contract. You should
consult your tax adviser to discuss these risks.
The Company
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal tax
purposes, the Separate Account and its operations are considered to be part of
our operations and are not taxed separately.
Diversification and Investor Control
The Code requires that we diversify the investments underlying variable
insurance contracts. If the investments are not properly diversified and any
remedial period has passed, Section 817(h) of the Code provides in general the
contract is immediately disqualified from treatment as a life insurance contract
for federal income tax purposes. Disqualification of the policy as a life
insurance contract would result in taxable income to you at the time that we
allocate any earnings to your policy. You would have taxable income even though
you have not received any payments under the policy. To the extent that any
segregated asset account with respect to a variable life insurance contract
invests exclusively in securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, the
diversification standard is satisfied. A segregated asset account underlying
life insurance contracts such as the policy will also meet the diversification
requirements if, as of the close of each quarter:
o the regulated investment companies in which the segregated asset
account invest satisfy the diversification requirements described
below; and
o not more than 55 percent of the value of the assets of the account are
attributable to cash and cash items (including receivables),
government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies.
Alternatively, the diversification requirements may be met for each if:
o no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any one investment;
o no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any two investments;
o no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any three investments; and
o no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any four investments.
There are several ways for investments to meet the diversification requirements.
Generally, each United States government agency or instrumentality is treated as
a separate issuer under these rules.
All securities of the same issuer are generally treated as a single investment.
We intend that each portfolio in which the subaccounts invest will be managed by
its investment adviser in compliance with these diversification requirements. A
variable life insurance policy could fail to be treated as a life insurance
contract for tax purposes if the owner of the policy has such control over the
investments underlying the policy (e.g., by being able to transfer values among
subaccounts with only limited restrictions) so as to be considered the owner of
the underlying investments. There is some uncertainty on this point because no
guidelines have been issued by the Treasury Department. If and when guidelines
are issued, we may be required to impose limitations on you're rights to control
investment designations under the policy. We do not know whether any such
guidelines will be issued or whether any such guidelines would have retroactive
effect. We, therefore, reserve the right to make changes that we deem necessary
to insure that the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract.
Tax Treatment of the Policy
Section 7702 of the Code sets forth a detailed definition of a life insurance
contract for federal tax purposes. The Treasury Department has not issued final
regulations so that the extent of the official guidance as to how Section 7702
is to be applied is quite limited. If a policy were determined not to be a life
insurance contract for purposes of Section 7702, that policy would not qualify
for the favorable tax treatment normally provided to a life insurance contract.
With respect to a policy issued on the basis of a standard rate class, we
believe that such a policy should meet the Section 7702 definition of a life
insurance contract.
With respect to a policy that is issued on a substandard basis (i.e., a premium
class involving higher than standard mortality risk), there is less certainty,
in particular as to how the mortality and other expense requirements of Section
7702 are to be applied in determining whether such a policy meets the definition
of a life insurance contract set forth in Section 7702. Thus, it is not clear
that such a policy would satisfy Section 7702, particularly if the you pay the
full amount of premiums permitted under the policy.
If subsequent guidance issued under Section 7702 leads us to conclude that a
policy does not (or may not) satisfy Section 7702, we will take appropriate and
necessary steps for the purpose of bringing the policy into compliance, but we
can give no assurance that it will be possible to achieve that result. We
expressly reserve the right to restrict policy transactions if we determine such
action to be necessary to qualify the policy as a life insurance contracts under
Section 7702.
Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits In General
This discussion assumes that each policy will qualify as a life insurance
contract for federal income tax purposes under Section 7702. The death benefit
under the policy should be excluded from the taxable gross income of the
Beneficiary. In addition, the increases in the Policy Account Value should not
be taxed until there has been a distribution from the policy such as a
surrender, partial surrender or lapse with loan.
Pre-Death Distribution
The tax treatment of any distribution you receive before the Insured's death
depends on whether the policy is classified as a modified endowment contract.
Policies Not Classified as Modified Endowment Contracts
o If you surrender the policy or allow it to lapse, you will not be taxed
except to the extent the amount you receive is in excess of the premiums
you paid less the untaxed portion of any prior withdrawals. For this
purpose, you will be treated as receiving any portion of the cash surrender
value policy debt. The tax consequences of a surrender may differ if you
take the proceeds under an income payment settlement option.
o Generally, you will be taxed on a withdrawal to the extent the amount you
receive exceeds the premiums you paid for the policy less the untaxed
portion of any prior withdrawals. However, under some limited
circumstances, in the first 15 Policy Years, all or a portion of a
withdrawal may be taxed if the cash value exceeds the total premiums paid
less the untaxed portions of any prior withdrawals, even if total
withdrawals do not exceed total premiums
o Extra premiums for optional benefits and riders generally do not count in
computing the premiums paid for the policy for the purposes of determining
whether a withdrawal is taxable.
o Loans you take against the policy are ordinarily treated as debt and are
not considered distributions subject to tax.
Modified Endowment Contracts
o The rules change if the policy is classified as a modified endowment
contract ("MEC"). The policy could be classified as a MEC if premiums
substantially in excess of scheduled premiums are paid or a decrease in the
face amount of insurance is made (or a rider removed). The addition of a
rider or an increase in the face amount of insurance may also cause the
policy to be classified as a MEC. The rules on whether a policy will be
treated as a MEC are very complex and cannot be fully described in this
summary. You should consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether a
policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a MEC. We will
monitor your policy and will take steps reasonably necessary to notify you
on a timely basis if your policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC.
o If the policy is classified as a MEC, then amounts you receive under the
policy before the Insured's death, including loans and withdrawals, are
included in income to the extent that the cash value before surrender
charges exceeds the premiums paid for the policy increased by the amount of
any loans previously included in income and reduced by any untaxed amounts
previously received other than the amount of any loans excludable from
income. An assignment of a MEC is taxable in the same way. These rules also
apply to pre-death distributions, including loans, made during the two-year
period before the time that the policy became a MEC.
o Any taxable income on pre-death distributions (including full surrenders)
is subject to a penalty of 10% unless the amount is received on or after
age 59 1/2, on account of your becoming disabled or as a life annuity. It
is presently unclear how the penalty tax provisions apply to the Policies
owned by businesses.
o All MECs issued by us to you during the same calendar year are treated as a
single policy for purposes of applying these rules.
Interest on Policy Loans. Except in special circumstances, interest paid on a
loan under a policy which is owned by an individual is treated as personal
interest under the Code and thus will not be tax deductible. In addition, the
deduction of interest that is incurred on any loan under a policy owned by a
taxpayer and covering the life of any individual who is an officer or employee
of or who is financially interested in the business carried on by that taxpayer
may also be subject to certain restrictions set forth in Section 264 of the
Code. Before taking a loan, you should consult a tax adviser as to the tax
consequences of such a loan. (Also Section 264 of the Code may preclude business
owners from deducting premium payments.)
Policy Exchanges and Modifications. Depending on the circumstances, the exchange
of a Policy, a change in the death benefit option, a loan, a partial surrender,
a surrender, a change in owners or an assignment of the policy may have federal
income tax consequences. In addition, the federal, state and local transfer, and
other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will depend on
the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
Withholding. We are required to withhold federal income taxes on the taxable
portion of any amounts received under the policy unless you elect to not have
any withholding or in certain other circumstances. You are not permitted to
elect out of withholding if you do not provide a social security number or other
taxpayer identification number. Special withholding rules apply to payments made
to non-resident aliens.
You are liable for payment of federal income taxes on the taxable portion of any
amounts received under the policy. You may be subject to penalties under the
estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not
sufficient.
Generation Skipping Transfer Tax. A transfer of the policy or the designation of
a Beneficiary who is either 37 1/2 years younger than the Owner or a grandchild
of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax consequences.
Contracts Issued in Connection With Tax Qualified Pension Plans. Prior to
purchase of a policy in connection with a qualified plan, you should examine the
applicable tax rules relating to such plans and life insurance thereunder in
consultation with a qualified tax adviser.
Possible Charge for the Company's Taxes
At the present time, we do not deduct any charges for any federal state or local
income taxes. However, we do currently deduct charges for state and federal
premium based taxes and the federal DAC tax. We reserve the right in the future
to deduct a charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the
application of the tax laws that we determine to be properly attributable to the
Separate Account or to the policy.
Distribution of the Policy
The policy is sold by licensed insurance agents, where the policy may be
lawfully sold, who are registered representatives of broker-dealers which are
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
The policy will be distributed through the principal underwriter for the
Separate Account, AIG Equity Sales Corp. (AIGESC) 70 Pine Street, New York, New
York, an affiliate of ours. AIGESC may also enter into selling agreements with
other broker dealers that will offer the policy.
Commissions may be paid to registered representatives based on premiums paid for
Policies sold. Other expense reimbursements, allowances, and overrides may also
be paid. Registered representatives who meet certain productivity and
profitability standards may be eligible for additional compensation. Additional
payments may be made for administrative or other services not directly related
to the sale of the policy.
Other Policies Issued by the Company
We may offer other policies similar to those offered herein.
About Us and the Accounts
American International Life Assurance Company of New York
We are a stock life insurance company initially organized under the laws of
Pennsylvania and reorganized under the laws of Delaware. We were incorporated in
1962. We provide a full range of individual and group life, disability,
accidental death and dismemberment policies and annuities. We are a subsidiary
of American International Group, Inc., which is a holding company for a number
of companies engaged in the international insurance business, both life and
general, in approximately 130 countries and jurisdictions around the world.
The Separate Account
We established the Separate Account as a separate investment account on June 5,
1986. It is used to support the policy and other variable life insurance
policies, and may be used for other permitted purposes. The Separate Account is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment
trust under the federal securities laws and qualifies as a "separate account"
within the meaning of these laws.
Although you may have allocated your Policy Account Value to the subaccounts,
you do not own these assets. You only own your policy. We own the assets in the
Separate Account. The Separate Account may include other subaccounts which are
not available under the policy.
Income, gains and losses, realized or unrealized, of a subaccount are credited
to or charged against the subaccount without regard to any of our other income,
gains or losses. Assets equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities
with respect to each subaccount are not chargeable with liabilities arising out
of any of our other businesses or separate accounts. If the assets exceed the
required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our
general account. We are obligated to pay all benefits provided under the policy.
We have reserved certain rights regarding the Separate Account. We will exercise
these rights only in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. We
have the right to:
o Change, add or delete designated investment options.
o Add or remove subaccounts.
o Withdraw assets of a class of policies to which the policy belongs from a
subaccount and put them in another subaccount. o Combine any two or more
subaccounts.
o Register other separate accounts or deregister the Separate Account with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
o Run the Separate Account under the direction of a committee, and discharge
such committee at any time.
o Restrict or eliminate any voting rights of Owners, or other persons who
have voting rights as to the Separate Account.
o Operate the Separate Account or one or more of the subaccounts making
direct investments or in any other form. If we do so, we may invest the
assets of the Separate Account or one or more of the Subaccounts in any
investments that are legal, as determined by our counsel.
We will not change an investment adviser or any investment of a subaccount of
our Separate Account unless approved by the Commissioner of Insurance of
Delaware or deemed approved in accordance with such law or regulation. Any
approval process is on file with the insurance supervisory official of the
jurisdiction in which this policy is delivered.
If any change we make results in a material change in the underlying investments
of a subaccount, we will notify you of such a change. If you have value in that
subaccount:
o We will transfer it at your written direction from that subaccount (without
charge) to another subaccount or to the Guaranteed Account, and
o You may then change your premium allocation percentages
Voting Rights
We are the legal owner of shares held by the subaccounts and as such have the
right to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the portfolios.
However, as required by law, we will vote shares held in the subaccounts at
regular and special meetings of shareholders of the portfolios in accordance
with instructions we receive from Owners with Policy Account Value in the
subaccounts. If allowed by law or required by law we may vote shares of the
portfolios without obtaining instructions or in disregard to instructions we
have received. If we ever disregard voting instructions, we will advise you of
that action and our reasons for such action in the next semiannual report.
The Guaranteed Account
The Guaranteed Account is an account within the general account of the company.
Our general account assets are used to support our insurance and annuity
obligations other than those funded by separate accounts. Subject to applicable
law, we have sole discretion over the investment of the assets of the general
account.
We have not registered:
o interests in the Guaranteed Account under the Securities Act of 1933, and
o the Guaranteed Account as an investment company.
The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed our
disclosure on the Guaranteed Account. Our disclosure regarding the Guaranteed
Account must comply with generally applicable provisions of the federal
securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in

Other Information
State Regulation
We are subject to the laws of Delaware governing insurance companies and to
regulation by the Delaware Insurance Department. We file an annual statement in
a prescribed form with the Insurance Department each year covering our operation
for the preceding year and our final condition as of the end of such year.
Regulation by the Insurance Department includes periodic examinations to
determine our policy liabilities and reserves so that the Insurance Department
may certify the items are correct. Our books and accounts are subject to review
by the Insurance Department at all times and a full examination of its
operations is conducted periodically by the staff of the Insurance Department
pursuant to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Such regulation
does not, however, involve any supervision of management or investment practices
or policies. In addition, we are subject to regulation under the insurance laws
of other jurisdictions in which we may operate.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings to which the Separate Account or the principal
underwriter is a party. We are engaged in various kinds of routine litigation
which, in our opinion, are not of material importance in relation to our total
capital and surplus.
Experts
The financial statements which appear in this prospectus have been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent certified public accountants, as stated
in its reports, and have been included in reliance upon the authority of such
firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Legal Matters
Legal matters relating to the federal securities laws are being passed upon by
the firm of Jorden Burt Boros Cicchetti Berenson & Johnson LLP of Washington,
D.C.
Published Ratings
We may occasionally publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports the
ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating
organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Moody's and Standard & Poor's . The
purpose of the ratings is to reflect the rating organization's opinion of our
financial strength and should not be considered as bearing on the investment
performance of assets held in the Separate Account.
The ratings are not recommendations to purchase our life insurance or annuity
products or to hold or sell these products, and the ratings do not comment on
the suitability of such products for a particular investor. There can be no
assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or
that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating
organization if, in such organization's judgment, future circumstances so
warrant. The ratings do not reflect the investment performance of the Separate
Account or the degree of risk associated with an investment in the Separate
Account.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation: American International Life Assurance Company
of New York (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of American
International Group, Inc. (the Parent). The financial statements of
the Company have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The Company is licensed to sell life and accident & health
insurance in the District of Columbia and all states except Arizona,
Connecticut and Maryland. The Company is also licensed in America
Samoa, Virgin Islands and Guam.
The Company also files financial statements prepared in accordance
with statutory practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance
Department of the State of New York. Financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP differ in certain respects from the practices
prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities. The significant
differences are: (1) statutory financial statements do not reflect
fixed maturities available for sale at market value; (2) policy
acquisition costs, charged against operations as incurred for
regulatory purposes, have been deferred and are being amortized over
the anticipated life of the contracts; (3) individual life and annuity
policy reserves based on statutory requirements have been adjusted
based upon mortality, lapse and interest assumptions applicable to
these coverages, including provisions for reasonable adverse
deviations; these assumptions reflect the Company's experience and
industry standards; (4) deferred income taxes not recognized for
regulatory purposes have been provided for temporary differences
between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and tax purposes; (5) for regulatory purposes, future policy
benefits, policyholders' funds on deposit, policy and contract claims
and reserve for unearned premiums are presented net of ceded
reinsurance; and (6) an asset valuation reserve and interest
maintenance reserve using National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) formulas are set up for regulatory purposes.
(b) Investments: Fixed maturities available for sale, where the company
may not have the ability or positive intent to hold these securities
until maturity, are carried at current market value. Interest income
with respect to fixed maturity securities is accrued currently.
Included in fixed maturities available for sale are collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs). Premiums and discounts arising from the
purchase of CMOs are treated as yield adjustments over their estimated
lives. Common and non-redeemable preferred stocks are carried at
current market values. Dividend income is generally recognized when
receivable. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which
approximates market.
Unrealized gains and losses from investments in equity securities and
fixed maturities available for sale are reflected as a separate
component of comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes and
future policy benefits in capital funds currently.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined principally by
specific identification. Where declines in values of securities below
cost or amortized cost are considered to be other than temporary, a
charge is reflected in income for the difference between cost or
amortized cost and estimated net realizable value.
Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balance
less unamortized loan origination fees and costs less an allowance for
uncollectible loans. Interest income on such loans is accrued
currently.
<PAGE>
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
(b) Investments: (continued)
Real estate is carried at depreciated cost and is depreciated on a
straight-line basis over 31.5 years. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to income as incurred; expenditures for
betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated
lives.
Policy loans are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balance.
Other invested assets consist primarily of limited partnerships, which
are recorded using either the cost or the equity method depending on
the type of partnership and the Company's related ownership
percentage.
(c) Income Taxes: The Company joins in a consolidated federal income tax
return with the Parent and its domestic subsidiaries. The Company and
the Parent have a written tax allocation agreement whereby the Parent
agrees not to charge the Company a greater portion of the consolidated
tax liability than would have been paid by the Company if it had filed
a separate return. Additionally, the Parent agrees to reimburse the
Company for any tax benefits arising out of its net losses within
ninety days after the filing of that consolidated tax return for the
year in which these losses are utilized. Deferred federal income taxes
are provided for temporary differences related to the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's
financial statements or tax returns.
(d) Premium Recognition and Related Benefits and Expenses: Premiums for
traditional life insurance and life contingent annuity contracts are
recognized when due. Revenues for universal life and investment-type
products consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance,
administration, and surrenders during the period. Premiums on accident
and health insurance are reported as earned over the contract term.
The portion of accident and health premiums which is not earned at the
end of a reporting period is recorded as unearned premiums. Estimates
of premiums due but not yet collected are accrued. Policy benefits and
expenses are associated with earned premiums on long-duration
contracts resulting in a level recognition of profits over the
anticipated life of the contracts.
Policy acquisition costs for traditional life insurance products are
generally deferred and amortized over the premium paying period of the
policy. Deferred policy acquisition costs and policy initiation costs
related to universal life and investment-type products are amortized
in relation to expected gross profits over the life of the policies
(see Note 3).
The liability for future policy benefits and policyholders' contract
deposits is established using assumptions described in Note 4.
(e) Policy and Contract Claims: Policy and contract claims include amounts
representing: (1) the actual in-force amounts for reported life claims
and an estimate of incurred but unreported claims; and (2) an
estimate, based upon prior experience, for accident and health
reported and incurred but unreported losses. The methods of making
such estimates and establishing the resulting reserves are continually
reviewed and updated and any adjustments resulting therefrom are
reflected in income currently.
<PAGE>
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
(f) Separate and Variable Accounts: These accounts represent funds for
which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue
directly to the policyholders. Each account has specific investment
objectives, and the assets are carried at market value. The assets of
each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims
which arise out of any other business of the Company.
(g) Reinsurance Assets: Reinsurance assets include the balances due from
both reinsurance and insurance companies under the terms of the
Company's reinsurance arrangements for ceded unearned premiums, future
policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts,
policyholders' funds on deposit and policy and contract claims. It
also includes funds held under reinsurance treaties.
(h) Accounting Standards:
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (FASB 130) and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131 "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" (FASB 131).
FASB 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and
its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
FASB 130 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 1998.
FASB 131 establishes standards for the way the Company is required to
disclose information about its operating segments in its annual
financial statements and selected information in its interim financial
statements. FASB 131 establishes, where practicable, standards with
respect to geographic areas, among other things. Certain descriptive
information is also required. FASB 131 was effective for the year
ended December 31, 1998 by the Parent, whose operations are conducted
principally through three business segments: General Insurance, Life
Insurance and Financial Services. All operations of the Company fall
within the Life Insurance segment.
In February 1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" (FASB 132). This statement requires the
Company to revise its disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans and does not change the measurement or
recognition of these plans. Also, FASB 132 requires additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of
plan assets. FASB 132 was effective for the year ended December 31,
1998 and has been adopted by the Parent. Information regarding the
pension and other postretirement benefit plans is not computed on a
subsidiary basis, but rather on a consolidated basis for all
subsidiaries of the Parent and, accordingly, is not presented herein.
In June 1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
(FASB 133). This statement requires the Company to recognize all
derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet measuring these
derivatives at fair value. The recognition of the change in the fair
value of a derivative depends on a number of factors, including the
intended use of the derivative. The Company believes that the impact
of FASB 133 on its results of operations, financial condition or
liquidity will not be significant. FASB 133 is effective for the year
commencing January 1, 2001.
<PAGE>
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
(h) Accounting Standards: (continued)
In December 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AcSEC) issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other
Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments." This statement
provides guidance for the recording of a liability for
insurance-related assessments. The statement requires that a liability
be recognized in certain defined circumstances. This statement was
effective for the year commencing January 1, 1999 and has been adopted
herein. SOP 97-3 did not have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In October 1998, AcSEC issued SOP 98-7, "Deposit Accounting:
Accounting for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do Not
Transfer Insurance Risk." This statement identifies several methods of
deposit accounting and provides guidance on the application of each
method. This statement classifies insurance and reinsurance contracts
for which the deposit method is appropriate as contracts that (i)
transfer only significant timing risk, (ii) transfer only significant

========= =========
</TABLE>
(b) Long duration contract liabilities included in future policy benefits,
as presented in the table above, result from traditional life and
annuity products. Short duration contract liabilities are primarily
accident and health products. The liability for future policy benefits
has been established based upon the following assumptions:
(i) Interest rates (exclusive of immediate/terminal funding annuities),
which vary by year of issuance and products, range from 3.0 percent to
10.0 percent. Interest rates on immediate/terminal funding annuities
are at a maximum of 7.6 percent and grade to not greater than 7.5
percent.
(ii) Mortality and withdrawal rates are based upon actual experience
modified to allow for variations in policy form. The weighted average
lapse rate, including surrenders, for individual life approximated
10.7 percent.
(c) The liability for policyholders' fund on deposit has been established
based on the following assumptions:
(i) Interest rates credited on deferred annuities vary by year of issuance
and range from 3.0 percent to 7.5 percent. Credited interest rate
guarantees are generally for a period of one year. Withdrawal charges
generally range from 3.0 percent to 10.0 percent grading to zero over
a period of 5 to 10 years.
(ii) GICs have market value withdrawal provisions for any funds withdrawn
other than benefit responsive payments. Interest rates credited
generally range from 4.9 percent to 8.1 percent and maturities range
from 3 to 7 years.
(iii)Interest rates on corporate-owned life insurance business are
guaranteed at 4.0 percent and the weighted average rate credited in
1999 was 6.7 percent.
(iv) The universal life funds, exclusive of corporate-owned life insurance
business, have credited interest rates of 5.4 percent to 7.1 percent
and guarantees ranging from 3.5 percent to 5.5 percent depending on
the year of issue. Additionally, universal life funds are subject to
surrender charges that amount to 11.0 percent of the fund balance and
grade to zero over a period not longer than 20 years.

(c) At December 31, 1999, accumulated earnings of the Company for Federal
income tax purposes include approximately $2,879,000 of
"Policyholders' Surplus" as defined under the Code. Under provisions
of the Code, "Policyholders' Surplus" has not been currently taxed but
would be taxed at current rates if distributed to the Parent. There is
no present intention to make cash distributions from "Policyholders'
Surplus" and accordingly, no provision has been made for taxes on this
amount.
(d) Income taxes paid in 1999, 1998, and 1997 amounted to $28,174,000,
$26,796,000, and $30,269,000, respectively.

6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company, in common with the insurance industry in general, is subject
to litigation, including claims for punitive damages, in the normal course
of their business. The Company does not believe that such litigation will
have a material effect on its operating results and financial condition.
The Company is a limited partner in Chardon/Hato Rey Partnership (Puerto
Rico). The partnership agreement requires the Company to make an additional
capital contribution of up to $3,000,000 to cover construction cost
overruns or operating deficits. Construction was completed in 1992, the
building is fully leased and profitable; therefore, no demands are
foreseen.
During 1997, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Private
Equity Investors III, L.P. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's unused
capital commitment was $5,086,000. Contributions totaling $19,872,000 have
been made through December 31, 1999.
During 1998, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Sankaty
High Yield Asset Partners, L.P. The agreement requires the Company to make
capital contributions totaling $2,500,000. Contributions totaling
$2,250,000 have been made through December 31, 1999.
During 1999, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with G2
Opportunity Fund, LP. The agreement requires the Company to make capital
contributions totaling $12,500,000. Contributions totaling $11,515,000 have
been made through December 31, 1999.
During 1999, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with CVC
Capital Funding LLC. The agreement requires the Company to make capital
contributions totaling $10,000,000. No contributions have been made as of
December 31, 1999.
During 1999, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Private
Equity Investors IV, L.P. The agreement requires the Company to make
capital contributions totaling $73,000,000. No contributions have been made
as of December 31, 1999
7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(a) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (FASB 107) requires disclosure of
fair value information about financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate such fair value. These financial instruments
may or may not be recognized in the balance sheet. In the measurement
of the fair value of certain of the financial instruments, quoted
market prices were not available and other valuation techniques were
utilized. These derived fair value estimates are significantly
affected by the assumptions used. FASB 107 excludes certain financial
instruments, including those related to insurance contracts.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of the financial instruments presented:
Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheet for these instruments approximate fair value.
Fixed maturities: Fair values for fixed maturity securities carried at
market value are generally based upon quoted market prices. For
certain fixed maturities for which market prices were not readily
available, fair values were estimated using values obtained from
independent pricing services.
Equity securities: Fair values for equity securities were based upon
quoted market prices.
<PAGE>
7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)
Mortgage and policy loans: Where practical, the fair values of loans
on real estate were estimated using discounted cash flow calculations
based upon the Company's current incremental lending rates for similar
type loans. The fair values of policy loans were not calculated as the
Company believes it would have to expend excessive costs for the
benefits derived. Therefore, the fair value of policy loans was
estimated at carrying value.
Policyholders' funds on deposit: Fair values of policyholder contract
deposits were estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based
upon interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts
consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.
(b) The fair value and carrying amounts of financial instruments is as
follows (in thousands):
1999

</TABLE>
8. Capital Funds
(a) The Company may not distribute dividends to the Parent without prior
approval of regulatory agencies. Generally, this limits the payment of
such dividends to an amount which, in the opinion of the regulatory
agencies, is warranted by the financial condition of the Company.
There were no dividends paid in 1999. During 1998, the Company paid a
$10,000,000 dividend to its stockholders.
(b) The Company's capital funds as determined in accordance with statutory
accounting practices were $387,814,000 at December 31, 1999 and
$337,170,000 at December 31, 1998. Statutory net income amounted to
$66,418,000, $35,386,000 and $58,205,000 for 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
(c) Statement of Accounting Standards No. 130 "Comprehensive Income" (FASB
130) was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 1998. FASB 130
establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components as part of capital funds. The reclassification adjustments
with respect to available for sale securities were $(13,103,000),
$(1,694,000), and $(226,000) for December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
<PAGE>
9. Employee Benefits
(a) The Company participates with its affiliates in a qualified,
non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan which is administered
by the Parent. All qualified employees who have attained age 21 and
completed twelve months of continuous service are eligible to
participate in this plan. An employee with 5 or more years of service
is entitled to pension benefits beginning at normal retirement age 65.
Benefits are based upon a percentage of average final compensation
multiplied by years of credited service limited to 44 years of
credited service. The average final compensation is subject to certain
limitations. Annual funding requirements are determined based on the
"projected unit credit" cost method which attributes a pro rata
portion of the total projected benefit payable at normal retirement to
each year of credited service. Pension expense for current service
costs, retirement and termination benefits for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $153,000, $238,000
and $306,000, respectively. The Parent's plans do not separately
identify projected benefit obligations and plan assets attributable to
employees of participating affiliates. The projected benefit
obligations exceeded the plan assets at December 31, 1999 by
$36,000,000.
The Parent has adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Program
(Supplemental Plan) to provide additional retirement benefits to
designated executives and key employees. Under the Supplemental Plan,
the annual benefit, not to exceed 60 percent of average final
compensation, accrues at a percentage of average final pay multiplied
for each year of credited service reduced by any benefits from the
current and any predecessor retirement plans, Social Security, if any,
and from any qualified pension plan of prior employers. The
Supplemental Plan also provides a benefit equal to the reduction in
benefits payable under the AIG retirement plan as a result of Federal
limitations on benefits payable thereunder. Currently, the
Supplemental Plan is unfunded.
(b) The Parent also sponsors a voluntary savings plan for domestic
employees (a 401(k) plan), which during the three years ended December
31, 1999, provided for salary reduction contributions by employees and
matching contributions by the Parent of up to 6 percent of annual
salary depending on the employees' years of service.
(c) On April 1, 1985, the Parent terminated and replaced its then existing
U.S. pension plan, a contributory qualified defined benefit plan, with
the current non-contributory qualified defined benefit plan.
Settlement of the obligations of the prior plan was accomplished
through the purchase of annuities from the Company for accrued
benefits as of the date of termination. Future policy benefits
reserves in the accompanying balance sheet that relate to these
annuity contracts are $69,129,000 at December 31, 1999 and $70,733,000
at December 31, 1998.
(d) In addition to the Parent's defined benefit pension plan, the Parent
and its subsidiaries provide a post-retirement benefit program for
medical care and life insurance. Eligibility in the various plans is
generally based upon completion of a specified period of eligible
service and reaching a specified age.
(e) The Parent applies APB Opinion 25 "Accounting for Stock issued to
Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its
stock-based compensation plans. Employees of the Company participate
in certain stock option and stock purchase plans of the Parent. In
general, under the stock option plan, officers and other key employees
are granted options to purchase AIG common stock at a price not less
than fair market value at the date of grant. In general, the stock
purchase plan provides for eligible employees to receive privileges to
purchase AIG common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market
value on the date of grant of the purchase privilege. The Parent has
not recognized compensation costs for either plan. The effect of the
compensation costs, as determined consistent with FASB 123, was not
computed on a subsidiary basis, but rather on a consolidated basis for
all subsidiaries of the Parent and therefore are not presented herein.
<PAGE>
10. Leases
(a) The Company occupies leased space in many locations under various
long-term leases and has entered into various leases covering the
long-term use of data processing equipment. At December 31, 1999, the
future minimum lease payments under operating leases were as follows:

Rent expense approximated $1,667,000, $1,604,000 and $1,398,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
11. Reinsurance
(a) The Company reinsures portions of its life and accident and health
insurance risks with unaffiliated companies. Life insurance risks are
reinsured primarily under coinsurance and yearly renewable term
treaties. Accident and health insurance risks are reinsured primarily
under coinsurance, excess of loss and quota share treaties. Amounts
recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with
the assumptions used for the underlying policy benefits and are
presented as a component of reinsurance assets. A contingent liability
exists with respect to reinsurance ceded to the extent that any
reinsurer is unable to meet the obligations assumed under the
reinsurance agreements. The Company also reinsures portions of its
life and accident and health insurance risks with affiliated companies
(see Note 12).
The effect of all reinsurance contracts, including reinsurance
assumed, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

(a) The Company is party to several reinsurance agreements with its
affiliates covering certain life and accident and health insurance
risks. Premium income and commission ceded to affiliates amounted to

$2,000, respectively. Premium income and commission ceded for 1997
amounted to $144,000 and $2,000, respectively. Premium income and

The Account commenced operations on May 4, 1995.
The assets of the Account are the property of the Company. The portion of the
Account's assets applicable to the policies are not chargeable with the
liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by the Company.
In addition to the Account, policy owners may also allocate assets of the
policies to the Guaranteed Account, which is part of the Company's general
account. Amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account are credited with a
guaranteed rate of interest. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions,
interests in the Guaranteed Account have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, and the Guaranteed Account has not been registered as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Account in preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
A. Investment Valuation - The investments in the Funds are stated at market
value which is the net asset value of each of the respective series as
determined at the close of business on the last business day of the period by
the Fund.
B. Accounting for Investments - Investment transactions are accounted for on the
date the investments are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
C. Federal Income Taxes - The Company is taxed under federal law as a life
insurance company. The Account is part of the Company's total operations and is
not taxed separately. Under existing federal law, no taxes are payable on
investment income and realized capital gains of the Account.
D. The preparation of the accompanying financial statements required management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts from operations and policy transactions.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E. The financial statements for 1998 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform
to the 1999 presentation.

3. Contract Charges
There are charges and deductions which the Company will deduct from each policy.
The deductions from each premium payment are a sales charge of 5% plus the state
specific premium taxes.
Daily charges for mortality and expense risks assumed by the Company are
assessed through the daily unit value calculation and are equivalent on an
annual basis to .90% of the account value of the policies. This charge may be
decreased to not less than .50% in policy years eleven and greater.
On the policies' issue date and each monthly anniversary, the following
deductions are made from the policies' account value:
(a) administrative charges
(b) insurance charges
(c) supplemental benefit charges
(d) acquisition and underwriting charges
A transfer charge of $25.00 will be assessed for each transfer in excess of 12
each Policy year.
If the policy is surrendered during the first fourteen policy years, the Company
will deduct a surrender charge based on a percentage of first year premium. A
pro rata surrender charge will be deducted for any partial surrender. An
administrative charge upon partial surrender will be equal to the lessor of
$25.00 or 2% of the amount surrendered.

This portfolio performance information is for illustrative purposes only and is
not intended to indicate or predict future performance.
The performance information reflects the total of the income generated by the
portfolio net of the total portfolio operating expenses (i.e., management fees
and other expenses), plus capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized and
the Policy's mortality and expense risk charge, except for this latter charge,
the performance results do not reflect charges deducted from premium, Account
Value, or Variable Account assets (for example, monthly deductions, cost of
insurance, surrender charge, sales load, DAC taxes, and any state or local
premium taxes). If these charges were included, the total return figures would
be lower.

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 theretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
REPRESENTATION
American International Life Assurance Company of New York represents that the
fees and charges deducted under the Policy covered by this registration
statement, in the aggregate are reasonable in relation to the services rendered,
the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the Company.
INDEMNIFICATION
Under its Bylaws, the Company, to the full extent permitted by New York law
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (whether
brought by or in right of the Company or otherwise) by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a Director of the Company, or while a Director of the
Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Director, Officer,
partner, Trustee, Employee, or Agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan,
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by him or her in connection with such proceeding.
The company shall extend such indemnification, as is provided to directors
above, to any person, not a director of the Company, who is or was an officer of
the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan. In
addition, the Board of Directors of the Company may, by resolution, extend such
further indemnification to an officer or such other person as may to it seem
fair and reasonable in view of all relevant circumstances.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to such provision of the bylaws or statutes or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any such action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the Policies issued by Variable Account II, the Company 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 said Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
