    Purchase   payments  for   the  Individual  Contracts   or  Group  Contracts
(collectively, the "Contracts")  will be  allocated to  a segregated  investment
account of the Company which account has been designated Variable Account I (the
"Variable  Account"). The Variable  Account invests in shares  of the Fund. (See
"The Fund" on page 12.)
 
    The Contracts provide that  in the event  that an Owner  withdraws all or  a
portion  of the Contract Value within the  first six contract years there may be
assessed a Deferred Sales Charge. The Deferred Sales Charge is based on a  table
of  charges, of which the maximum charge is currently 6% of premium to which the
charge is applicable  for flexible  premium contracts,  and 6%  of the  Contract
Value  for single premium  Contracts, subject to  a maximum of  8.5% of purchase
payments. (See "Charges and Deductions  -- Deduction for Deferred Sales  Charge"
on page 16.)
 
    Any premium or other taxes levied by any governmental entity with respect to
the  Contracts will be charged against  the purchase payments or Contract Value.
Premium taxes currently imposed by certain states on the Contracts range from 0%
to 3.5%.  The  Company  will also  deduct  from  any amount  payable  under  the
Contracts  any income  taxes a  governmental authority  requires the  Company to
withhold with respect to that amount. (See "Charges and Deductions --  Deduction
for Premium and Other Taxes" on page 16.)
 
    The  Company deducts from the Contract Value and/or the Variable Account any
Federal income taxes resulting from the  operation of the Variable Account.  The
Company  does not currently anticipate incurring any income taxes. (See "Charges
and Deductions -- Deduction for Income Taxes" on page 18.)
 
    The Company deducts for each Valuation  Period a Mortality and Expense  Risk
Charge which is equal on an annual basis to 1.25% of the average daily net asset
value  of the  Variable Account. (See  "Charges and Deductions  -- Deduction for
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge" on page 17.)
 
    The Company deducts for each Valuation Period an Administrative Charge which
is equal on an annual basis to 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of the
Variable Account.  In addition,  the Company  deducts an  annual  Administrative
Charge   which  is  currently  $30  per  year,  from  the  Contract  Value.  The
Administrative Charges are designed to reimburse the Company for  administrative
expenses  relating to maintenance of the  Contract and the Variable Account. The
Company may increase the annual Administrative Charge to an amount not to exceed
$100 per  year. (See  "Charges and  Deductions --  Deduction for  Administrative
Charge" on page 18.)
 
    There  are deductions and expenses paid out  of the assets of the Fund which
are described in the accompanying Prospectus for the Fund.
 
    There is a 10% tax  penalty applied to the  income portion of any  premature
distribution  from the Contracts. However, the penalty is not imposed on certain
distributions including  but not  limited  to amounts  received: (a)  after  the
taxpayer  reaches age 59 1/2; (b) after the death of the Annuitant (or Owner, as
applicable); (c)  if  the taxpayer  is  totally disabled;  (d)  in a  series  of
substantially  equal periodic payments made for the  life of the taxpayer or for
the joint lives  of the  taxpayer and his  beneficiary; (e)  under an  immediate
annuity;  (f) which are allocable to purchase  payments made prior to August 14,
1982; (g) under a qualified funding  asset (as defined in Code Section  130(d));
or  (h) that are purchased  by an employer upon  termination of certain types of
qualified plans and which are held by the employer until the employee  separates
from  service. Withdrawals are  deemed to be on  a last-in-first-out basis. (See
"Taxes -- Taxation of Annuities in General" on page 24)
 
    The Owner may return  the Contract within twenty  (20) days (the "Free  Look
Period")  after it  is received  by delivering  or mailing  it to  the Company's
Office. The return of the Contract by  mail will be effective when the  postmark
is  affixed to  a properly addressed  and postage prepaid  envelope. The Company
will refund the Contract  Value. In the case  of Contracts issued in  connection
with  an IRA the Company  will refund the greater  of the purchase payment, less
any withdrawals, or the Contract

Value. However, if the laws of a  state require that the Company refund,  during
the  Free Look  Period, an amount  equal to  the purchase payment  paid less any
withdrawals, the Company will refund such an amount.

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA
 
    The  Company may, from  time to time,  advertise certain performance related
information concerning one or more of the Sub-accounts, including information as
to total return and yield. Performance information about a Sub-account is  based
on  the Sub-account's past performance only and is not intended as an indication
of future performance.
 
    When  the  Company  advertises  the   average  annual  total  return  of   a
Sub-account,  it will usually be calculated for  one, five, and ten year periods
or, where a Sub-account has been in  existence for a period less than one,  five
or ten years, for such lesser period. Average annual total return is measured by
comparing  the value of the investment in  a Sub-account at the beginning of the
relevant period  to  the value  of  the investment  at  the end  of  the  period
(assuming  the deduction of any Deferred Sales  Charge which would be payable if
the account were redeemed at the end of the period) and calculating the  average
annual  compounded  rate  of  return  necessary  to  produce  the  value  of the
investment at the  end of  the period.  The Company  may simultaneously  present
returns  that  do not  assume  a surrender  and,  therefore, do  not  deduct the
Deferred Sales Charge.
 
    When the Company advertises the yield of a Sub-account it will be calculated
based upon a 30-day period ended on the date of the most recent balance sheet of
the Company included in its registration  statement. The yield is determined  by
dividing  the  net investment  income per  Accumulation  Unit earned  during the
period by the maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.
 
    When the Company advertises the performance of the Money Market  Sub-account
it  may  advertise in  addition  to the  total return  either  the yield  or the
effective yield. The yield of the Money Market Sub-account refers to the  income
generated  by an  investment in  that Sub-account  over a  seven-day period. The
income is  then  annualized  (i.e.,  the  amount  of  income  generated  by  the
investment  during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week
period and is shown as a percentage  of the investment). The effective yield  is
calculated  similarly but when annualized the  income earned by an investment in
the Money Market Sub-account  is assumed to be  reinvested. The effective  yield
will be slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of this
assumed reinvestment during a 52-week period.
 
    Total  return  at the  Variable  Account level  is  reduced by  all contract
charges:  sales  charges,   mortality  and   expense  risk   charges,  and   the
administrative charges, and is therefore lower than the total return at the Fund
level,  which has no comparable charges.  Likewise, yield and effective yield at
the Variable Account level take into account all recurring charges (except sales
charges), and are therefore lower than the yield and effective yield at the Fund
level, which has no comparable charges.

the Statement of Additional Information.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
    The Company is a stock life  insurance company which is organized under  the
laws  of  the State  of  Delaware. The  Company provides  a  full range  of life
insurance  and  annuity  plans.  The   Company  is  a  subsidiary  of   American
International  Group, Inc., which serves as the  holding company for a number of
companies engaged  in  the  international  insurance  business,  both  life  and
general, in over 130 countries and jurisdictions around the world.
 
    The   Company  may  from  time-to-time   publish  in  advertisements,  sales
literature and reports to Owners, the ratings and other information assigned  to
it  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
financial strength and/or claims-paying ability of the Company and should not be
considered  as  bearing on  the  investment performance  of  assets held  in the
separate account. Each year the A. M. Best Company reviews the financial  status
of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings. These
ratings  reflect A. M. Best's current opinion of the relative financial strength
and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms  of
the  life/ health insurance industry. In  addition, the claims-paying ability of
the Company as measured by Standard & Poor's Insurance Ratings Services, and the
financial strength of the Company as measured by Moody's Investors Services, may
be referred to  in advertisements,  sales literature  or in  reports to  Owners.
These  ratings are their opinions of  an operating insurance company's financial
capacity to meet  the obligations  of its  life insurance  policies and  annuity
contracts  in accordance  with their  terms. In regard  to their  ratings of the
Company, these  ratings are  explicitly  based on  the  existence of  a  Support
Agreement,  dated as of  December 31, 1991,  between the Company  and its parent
American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), pursuant to which AIG has agreed  to
cause  the Company to maintain  a positive net worth  and to provide the Company
with funds on a timely basis sufficient to meet the Company's obligations to its
policyholders. The  Support Agreement  is  not, however,  a direct  or  indirect
guarantee  by  AIG  to  any  person  of the  payment  of  any  of  the Company's
indebtedness, liabilities  or other  obligations (including  obligations to  the
Company's policyholders).
 
    The ratings are not recommendations to purchase the Company's 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
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
organization if, in such organization's judgment, future circumstances  relating
to  the Support Agreement, such as a lowering of AIG's long-term debt rating, so
warrant. The ratings do not reflect  the investment performance of the  Variable
Account  or the  degree of  risk associated with  an investment  in the Variable
Account.
 
                              THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
 
    The Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution to establish  the
Variable  Account pursuant to Delaware insurance law. The Company has caused the
Variable Account to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
a unit investment trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act
of 1940.
 
    The assets of the Variable Account are the property of the Company. However,
the assets of  the Variable Account,  equal to the  reserves and other  contract
liabilities  with  respect  to the  Variable  Account, are  not  chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other  business the Company may conduct.  Income,
gains  and  losses,  whether  or  not  realized,  are,  in  accordance  with the
Contracts, credited to or charged against the Variable Account without regard to
other income, gains or losses of the Company. The Company's obligations  arising
under  the  Contracts  are general  corporate  obligations of  the  Company. The
Variable Account may be subject  to liabilities arising from Sub-accounts  whose
assets  are  attributable to  other variable  annuity  contracts offered  by the
Variable Account which are not described in this Prospectus.
 
    The Variable Account is divided into  Sub-accounts, with the assets of  each
Sub-account  invested in one Series  of the Fund. The  Company may, from time to
time, add  additional series  to  the Fund,  and, when  appropriate,  additional
mutual funds to act as the funding vehicles for the Contracts.
 
                                    THE FUND
 
    Alliance  Variable Products Series Fund, Inc.,  (the "Fund") will act as the
funding vehicle  for  the Contracts  offered  hereby.  The Fund  is  managed  by
Alliance  Capital Management  L.P., (the "Investment  Manager"). The  Fund is an
open-end, diversified management investment company,  which is intended to  meet
differing  investment  objectives. The  Fund  has made  available  the following
Portfolios: Money Market  Portfolio; Short-Term  Multi-Market Portfolio;  Growth
Portfolio;   Growth   and  Income   Portfolio;  International   Portfolio;  U.S.
Government/High  Grade  Securities  Portfolio;  Global  Bond  Portfolio;   North
American  Government  Income  Portfolio;  Global  Dollar  Government  Portfolio;
Utility Income  Portfolio; Premier  Growth  Portfolio; Total  Return  Portfolio;
Conservative   Investors  Portfolio;   Growth  Investors   Portfolio;  Worldwide
Privatization Portfolio;  and  Technology  Portfolio. The  fund  includes  other
portfolios  which  are  not  available  for use  by  the  Variable  Account. The
Investment Manager has  entered into  a sub-advisory agreement  with AIG  Global
Investors,  Inc.  (the "Sub-Adviser"),  a  subsidiary of  American International
Group, Inc. and an  affiliate of the Company,  to provide investment advice  for
the  Global Bond Portfolio.  A summary of investment  objectives is contained in
the description  of the  Fund  below. More  detailed information  including  the
investment  advisory fee and other charges assessed by the Fund, may be found in
the current Prospectus  for the Fund  which contains a  discussion of the  risks
involved  in investing in the Fund. The Prospectus for the Fund is included with
this  Prospectus.  Additional  Prospectuses  and  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information  can be  obtained by calling  the number  on the cover  page of this
Prospectus. Please read both Prospectuses carefully before investing.
 
    The investment objectives of the are as follows:
 
    MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio  seeks  safety of  principal,  maintenance of  liquidity  and
maximum  current income by investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of money
market securities.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
    SHORT-TERM MULTI-MARKET PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio seeks the  highest level of  current income, consistent  with
what  the Investment  Manager considers  to be  prudent investment  risk that is
available from  a portfolio  of high-quality  debt securities  having  remaining
maturities of not more than three years.
 
    GROWTH PORTFOLIO
 
    This  Portfolio  seeks  growth of  capital  rather than  current  income. In
pursuing its investment objective, the  Growth Portfolio will employ  aggressive
investment  policies. Since investments will be  made based upon their potential
for capital appreciation, current income will be incidental to the objective  of
capital  growth. Because of the risks  involved in any investment, the selection
of securities on  the basis  of their appreciation  possibilities cannot  ensure
against  possible loss in value. Moreover, to  the extent the Portfolio seeks to
achieve its objective through such  aggressive investment policies, the risk  of
loss  increases. The  Portfolio is  therefore not  intended for  investors whose
principal objective is assured income or preservation of capital.
 
    GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio seeks to balance the objectives of reasonable current  income
and  reasonable opportunities for appreciation  through investments primarily in
dividend-paying common stocks of good quality.
 
    INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio seeks to obtain a  total return on its assets from  long-term
growth  of  capital and  from income  principally through  a broad  portfolio of
marketable securities  of established  non-United  States companies  (or  United
States  companies having  their principal  activities and  interests outside the
United States), companies participating in foreign economies with prospects  for
growth, and foreign government securities.
 
    NORTH AMERICAN GOVERNMENT INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
    This  Portfolio seeks the  highest level of  current income, consistent with
what the adviser considers to be prudent investment risk, that is available from
a portfolio of debt  securities issued or guaranteed  by the governments of  the
United  States,  Canada  and  Mexico,  their  political  subdivisions (including
Canadian Provinces but  excluding the  States of the  United States),  agencies,
instrumentalities  or authorities.  The Portfolio  seeks high  current yields by
investing in  government  securities  denominated in  local  currency  and  U.S.
Dollars.  Normally, the Portfolio expects to maintain at least 25% of its assets
in securities denominated in the U.S. Dollar.
 
    GLOBAL DOLLAR GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
 
    This portfolio  seeks  a high  level  of current  income  through  investing
substantially  all of  its assets in  U.S. and non-U.S.  fixed income securities
denominated only in U.S. Dollars. As a secondary objective, the Portfolio  seeks
capital  appreciation.  Substantially  all  of the  Portfolio's  assets  will be
invested in high  yield, high risk  securities that are  low-rated (i.e.,  below
investment grade), or of comparable quality and unrated, and that are considered
to be predominately speculative as regards the issuer's capacity to pay interest
and repay principal.
 
    UTILITY INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
    This  Portfolio seeks current  income and capital  appreciation by investing
primarily in  the  equity  and  fixed-income  securities  of  companies  in  the
"utilities  industry."  The Portfolio's  investment  objective and  policies are
designed to take advantage of the characteristics and historical performance  of
securities  of utilities companies. The utilities industry consists of companies
engaged in  the manufacture,  production, generation,  provision,  transmission,
sale  and distribution of gas, electric energy, and communications equipment and
services, and in  the provision of  other utility or  utility-related goods  and
services.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
    U.S. GOVERNMENT/HIGH GRADE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
 
    This  Portfolio  seeks  a  high  level  of  current  income  consistent with
preservation of  capital  by  investing  principally  in  a  portfolio  of  U.S.
Government Securities, and other high grade debt securities.
 
    GLOBAL BOND PORTFOLIO
 
    This  Portfolio  seeks  to  provide  the  highest  level  of  current income
consistent with what the Fund's Adviser  and Sub-Adviser consider to be  prudent
investment  risk  that  is available  from  a multi-currency  portfolio  of high
quality debt securities of varying maturities.
 
    PREMIER GROWTH PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio  seeks  growth of  capital  rather than  current  income.  In
pursuing  its  investment objective,  the Premier  Growth Portfolio  will employ
aggressive investment policies. Since  investments will be  made based on  their
potential  for capital  appreciation, current income  will be  incidental to the
objective of capital growth. The Portfolio  is not intended for investors  whose
principal objective is assured income or preservation of capital.
 
    TOTAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
 
    This  Portfolio  seeks to  achieve a  high return  through a  combination of
current income and capital appreciation by investing in a diversified  portfolio
of  common  and preferred  stocks, senior  corporate  debt securities,  and U.S.
Government and Agency obligations, bonds and senior debt securities.
 
    CONSERVATIVE INVESTORS PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio seeks the  highest total return without,  in the view of  the
Fund's  Adviser, undue risk  to principal by  investing in a  diversified mix of
publicly traded equity and fixed-income securities.
 
    GROWTH INVESTORS PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio  seeks the  highest  total return  consistent with  what  the
Fund's Adviser considers to be reasonable risk by investing in a diversified mix
of publicly traded equity and fixed-income securities.
 
    WORLDWIDE PRIVATIZATION PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing principally
in  equity  securities  issued  by  enterprises  that  are  undergoing,  or have
undergone, privatization. The  balance of the  Portfolio's investment  portfolio
will  include equity  securities of  companies that  are believed  by the Fund's
Adviser to be beneficiaries of the privatization process.
 
    TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO
 
    This Portfolio  seeks  growth of  capital  through investment  in  companies
expected  to  benefit  from  advances in  technology.  The  Technology Portfolio
invests principally in a diversified portfolio of securities of companies  which
use  technology extensively  in the development  of new or  improved products or
processes.
 
    THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES OF THE PORTFOLIOS  WILL
BE MET.
 
VOTING RIGHTS
 
    The  Fund does not  hold regular meetings of  shareholders. The Directors of
the Fund may  call Special Meetings  of Shareholders for  action by  shareholder
vote as may be required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Articles of
Incorporation  of the  Fund. In accordance  with its view  of present applicable
law, the Company will vote the shares  of the Fund held in the Variable  Account
at  special  meetings  of  the  shareholders  of  the  Fund  in  accordance with
instructions received from persons  having the voting  interest in the  Variable
Account. The Company will vote shares for which it has not received instructions
from  Owners and those shares  which it owns in the  same proportion as it votes
shares for which it has received instructions from Owners.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
    The number of shares which a person  has a right to vote will be  determined
as  of a date to be chosen by the Company not more than sixty (60) days prior to
the meeting  of the  Fund.  Voting instructions  will  be solicited  by  written
communication  at least  fourteen (14)  days prior  to such  meeting. The person
having such voting rights will be the Owner before the Annuity Date or the death
of the Annuitant (or Owner, as  applicable), and thereafter, the payee  entitled
to receive payments under the Contract. During the Annuity Period, voting rights
attributable  to  a  Contract  will generally  decrease  as  the  Contract Value
attributable to an Annuitant decreases.
 
    The voting rights relate only to  amounts invested in the Variable  Account.
There  are  no voting  rights  with respect  to  funds invested  in  the General
Account.
 
    Shares of the  Fund are  sold only to  separate accounts  of life  insurance
companies.  The shares  of the  Fund will  be sold  to separate  accounts of the
Company and its affiliate, American International Life Assurance Company of  New
York,  as well as to separate accounts  of other affiliated or unaffiliated life
insurance companies  to fund  variable annuity  contracts and/or  variable  life
insurance   policies.  It  is  conceivable  that,  in  the  future,  it  may  be
disadvantageous for  variable  life  insurance separate  accounts  and  variable
annuity separate accounts to invest in the Fund simultaneously. Although neither
the  Company nor the  Fund currently foresees any  such disadvantages, either to
variable life insurance policyowners or  to variable annuity Owners, the  Fund's
Board  of  Directors  will monitor  events  in  order to  identify  any material
irreconcilable conflicts which may possibly arise and to determine what  action,
if  any,  should be  taken  in response  thereto.  If a  material irreconcilable
conflict were to occur, the relevant participating life insurance companies will
take whatever steps are necessary, at their expense, to remedy or eliminate  the
irreconcilable  material conflict. If such a conflict were to occur, one or more
insurance company separate accounts might withdraw its investments in the  Fund.
This might force the Fund to sell securities at disadvantageous prices.
 
SUBSTITUTION OF SHARES
 
    If  the shares of the Fund (or any  Series within the Fund) should no longer
be available for investment by  the Variable Account or  if, in the judgment  of
the  Company, further investment  in such shares  should become inappropriate in
view of  the purpose  of the  Contracts, the  Company may  substitute shares  of
another  mutual  fund  (or  Series  within the  Fund)  for  Fund  shares already
purchased or  to be  purchased in  the  future by  purchase payments  under  the
Contracts.  No substitution  of securities may  take place  without any required
prior approval  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  under  such
requirements as it may impose.
 
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS TO SUB-ACCOUNTS
 
    Initial  purchase payments are  allocated to the  Sub-account(s) selected by
the Owner  in the  application except  that in  those states  which require  the
Company  to deduct premium taxes upon receipt  of a purchase payment the Company
will deduct the  premium tax prior  to allocating the  purchase payment to  such
Sub-account(s).  The selection  must specify  a percentage  for each Sub-account
that is a whole number, and  must be either 0% or  a number equal to or  greater
than  10%. Subsequent purchase payments under  flexible premium Contracts may be
made at  any time  prior  to the  Annuity  Date and  will  be allocated  to  the
Sub-accounts selected by the Owner. If no selection is made, subsequent purchase
payments will be allocated to the Sub-account(s) selected by the Owner according
to  the most recent selection  request received at the  Company's Office. At the
time of the  allocation the  purchase payment  is divided  by the  value of  the
Accumulation Unit for the particular Sub-account for the Valuation Period during
which  such  allocation occurs  to determine  the  number of  Accumulation Units
attributable to the purchase payment.
 
    The initial purchase  payment under  an IRA plan  will be  allocated to  the
Money  Market Sub-account until the expiration of  twenty (20) days from the day
the Contract is mailed from the Company's office. Thereafter, the Contract Value
shall  be  reallocated  in  accordance   with  instructions  specified  in   the
application.  In  the case  of flexible  premium Contracts,  subsequent purchase
payments will be directly allocated to the Sub-account(s) selected by the  Owner
according to the most recent selection request received at the Company's Office.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
TRANSFER OF CONTRACT VALUES
 
    Before  the  Annuity Date,  the Owner  may transfer,  by written  request or
telephone  authorization,  Contract  Values  from  one  Sub-account  to  another
Sub-account, subject to the following conditions:
 
    (a)  the amount transferred from any Sub-account must be at least $1,000 (or
       the entire Sub-account value, if less);
 
    (b) if less than $1,000 would remain in the Sub-account after the  transfer,
       the Company will transfer the entire amount in the Sub-account;
 
    (c)  the Company may reject any more  than twelve (12) transfer requests per
       Contract Year; and
 
    (d) The Company will deduct any transfer charge assessed on the transaction.
       The Company  is currently  not assessing  a transfer  fee for  the  first
       twelve  (12)  transfers per  Contract Year.  The  Company is  assessing a
       transfer fee of $10 per transfer thereafter. The Company may increase the
       transfer fee to an  amount not to exceed  $30 per transfer. The  transfer
       fee  will be deducted from either the  Sub-account which is the source of
       the transfer or from  the amount transferred if  the entire value in  the
       Sub-account is transferred. (See also "Appendix").
 
    Transfer  by telephone is authorized by and described in the application for
the Contract. The Company will  undertake reasonable procedures to confirm  that
instructions  communicated by telephone are genuine. All calls will be recorded.
All transfers performed by telephone authorization will be confirmed in  writing
to  the Owner.  The Company  is not liable  for any  loss, cost,  or expense for
action on telephone instructions which are believed to be genuine in  accordance
with these procedures.
 
    After  the Annuity Date, the payee of  the annuity payments may transfer the
Contract Value allocated to the Variable Account from one Sub-account to another
Sub-account. However, the Company reserves the right to refuse any more than one
transfer per month. The  transfer fee is  the same as  before the Annuity  Date.
This  transfer fee  will be  deducted from  the next  annuity payment  after the
transfer. If  following the  transfer, the  units remaining  in the  Sub-account
would  generate  a monthly  payment  of less  than  $100, then  the  Company may
transfer the entire amount in the Sub-account.
 
    Once the transfer  is effected,  the Company  will recompute  the number  of
Annuity  Units  for  each Sub-account.  The  number  of Annuity  Units  for each
Sub-account will remain the same for the remainder of the payment period  unless
the payee requests another change.
 
                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
    Various  charges  and  deductions  are made  from  Contract  Values  and the
Variable Account. These charges and deductions are as follows:
 
DEDUCTION FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER TAXES
 
    Any premium or other taxes levied by any governmental entity with respect to
the Contracts will be charged against  the purchase payments or Contract  Value.
Premium taxes currently imposed by certain states on the Contracts range from 0%
to  3.5% of premiums paid. Some states assess premium taxes at the time purchase
payments are made;  others assess premium  taxes at the  time of  annuitization.
Premium  taxes are  subject to being  changed or amended  by state legislatures,
administrative interpretations or judicial acts.
 
    The Company will also deduct from any amount payable under the Contracts any
income taxes  a governmental  authority requires  the Company  to withhold  with
respect to that amount.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
DEDUCTION FOR MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 
    The  Company deducts for each Valuation  Period a Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge which is equal on an annual basis to 1.25% of the average daily net asset
value of the Variable  Account (consisting of  approximately .90% for  mortality
risks  and approximately .35% for expense risks). The mortality risks assumed by
the Company arise from its contractual obligation to make annuity payments after
the Annuity Date  for the life  of the  Annuitant, to waive  the Deferred  Sales
Charge  in the  event of  the death of  the Annuitant  and to  provide the death
benefit prior to the Annuity  Date. The expense risk  assumed by the Company  is
that  the costs  of administering  the Contracts  and the  Variable Account will
exceed the amount received from any Administrative Charge.
 
    If the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is insufficient to cover the actual
costs, the loss will be borne by the Company. Conversely, if the amount deducted
proves more than sufficient, the excess will be profit to the Company.
 
    The Mortality  and Expense  Risk Charge  is guaranteed  by the  Company  and
cannot be increased.
 
    The  Mortality and Expense  Risk Charge is  deducted during the Accumulation
Period and after the Annuity Date.
 
    The Company currently  offers annuity payment  options that are  based on  a
life  contingency. (See "Annuity Period  -- Annuity Options" on  page 19.) It is
possible that in  the future the  Company may offer  additional payment  options
which  are not based on a life contingency.  If this should occur and if a Owner
should elect a payment option not based on a life contingency, the Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge is still deducted but the Owner receives no benefit from it.
 
DEDUCTION FOR DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
    In the  event  that an  Owner  makes a  withdrawal  in excess  of  the  Free
Withdrawal  Amount  for  the  first  withdrawal in  a  Contract  Year,  or makes
subsequent withdrawals in a Contract Year,  other than by way of the  Systematic
Withdrawal  Program (See "Withdrawals --  Systematic Withdrawal Program" on page
22), a Deferred Sales Charge  may be imposed. The  Free Withdrawal Amount for  a
single  premium Contract is  equal to 10% of  the Contract Value  at the time of
withdrawal. The Free Withdrawal Amount  for flexible premium Contracts is  equal
to  10% of the purchase payments paid, less any prior withdrawals at the time of
withdrawal. In the case of flexible premium Contracts, the Deferred Sales Charge
applies only to  those purchase payments  received within six  (6) years of  the
date  of surrender  and will vary  in amount  depending upon the  time which has
elapsed since the date on which a purchase payment was made. In calculating  the
Deferred  Sales  Charge, Premium  is allocated  to the  amount surrendered  on a
first-in, first out basis. In the case of single premium Contracts, the Deferred
Sales Charge will  vary in amount  depending upon the  number of Contract  Years
that  a Contract has been in effect.  The amount of any withdrawal which exceeds
the Free Withdrawal Amount will be subject to the following charges:

    The aggregate Deferred Sales Charges paid  with respect to a Contract  shall
not exceed 8.5% of the purchase payments for such Contract.
 
    The  Deferred Sales Charge is intended to reimburse the Company for expenses
incurred which are related  to Contract sales. The  Company does not expect  the
proceeds from the Deferred Sales
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
Charge   to  cover  all  distribution  costs.  To  the  extent  such  charge  is
insufficient to cover  all distribution costs,  the Company may  use any of  its
corporate  assets, including potential profit which may arise from the Mortality
and Expense Risk Charge, to make up any difference.
 
    Certain restrictions  on  surrenders  are imposed  on  Contracts  issued  in
connection  with retirement  plans which  qualify under  Code Section  403(b) (a
"403(b) Plan"). (See "Taxes -- 403(b) Plans" on page 27.)
 
DEDUCTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 
    The Company deducts for each Valuation Period a daily Administrative  Charge
which  is equal on an annual basis to  .15% of the average daily net asset value
of the  Variable Account.  The  Company also  deducts an  annual  Administrative
Charge which is currently $30 per year, from the Contract Value. The Company may
increase  the annual Administrative Charge  to an amount not  to exceed $100 per
year. The Administrative Charges are designed  to reimburse the Company for  the
costs  it  incurs  relating to  maintenance  of  the Contract  and  the Variable
Account.
 
    The daily Administrative Charge is  deducted during the Accumulation  Period
and after the Annuity Date.
 
    Prior to the Annuity Date, the annual Administrative Charge is deducted from
the  Contract Value on each Contract Anniversary.  If the Annuity Date is a date
other than  a Contract  Anniversary, the  Company will  also deduct  a  pro-rata
portion  of the  annual Administrative  Charge from  the Contract  Value for the
fraction of the Contract Year preceding the Annuity Date.
 
    The annual Administrative Charge is also deducted in full on the date of any
total withdrawal. The annual  Administrative Charge will  be deducted from  each
Sub-account  of the Variable  Account in the  proportion that the  value of each
Sub-account attributable to the Contract bears to the total Contract Value.
 
    After the Annuity Date,  the annual Administrative Charge  is deducted on  a
pro-rata basis from each annuity payment and is guaranteed to remain at the same
amount as at the Annuity Date.
 
DEDUCTION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
    The  Company deducts from the Contract Value and/or the Variable Account any
Federal income taxes resulting from the  operation of the Variable Account.  The
Company does not currently anticipate incurring any income taxes.
 
OTHER EXPENSES
 
    There  are deductions from and  expenses paid out of  the assets of the Fund
which are described in the accompanying Prospectus for the Fund.
 
                        ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACTS
 
    While the Company has primary  responsibility for all administration of  the
Contracts  and the  Variable Account, it  has retained the  services of Delaware
Valley  Financial  Services,  Inc.   ("DVFS")  pursuant  to  an   administrative
agreement.  Such administrative services  include issuance of  the Contracts and
maintenance of  Owners' records.  DVFS serves  as the  administrator to  various
insurance companies offering variable contracts.
 
                           RIGHTS UNDER THE CONTRACTS
 
    The  Owner has all rights  and may receive all  benefits under the Contract.
The Owner is named  in the application.  Ownership may be  changed prior to  the
Annuity Date through the submission of written notification of the change to the
Company  on a form acceptable to the Company. On and after the Annuity Date, the
Annuitant and Owner shall be one in the same person , unless otherwise  provided
for.  In the case of Contracts issued in  connection with an IRA, the Owner must
be the Annuitant.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
    The Owner's spouse is the only  person eligible to be the Contingent  Owner.
(See  "Death Benefit  -- Death  of the  Owner" on  page 21.)  Any new  choice of
Annuitant or Contingent Owner will automatically revoke any prior choices.
 
    The Owner may, except in  the case of a  Contract issued in connection  with
either an IRA or a 403(b) Plan, assign a Contract at any time before the Annuity
Date  and while the Annuitant  is alive. A copy of  any assignment must be filed
with the  Company.  The Company  is  not responsible  for  the validity  of  any
assignment.  If the Contract is  assigned, the rights of  the Owner and those of
any revocable Beneficiary will be subject to the assignment. An assignment  will
not  affect any payments the Company may make or action it may take before it is
recorded. Inasmuch as  an assignment  or change of  ownership may  be a  taxable
event,  Owners should consult competent tax  advisers should they wish to assign
their Contracts.
 
    The Contract may be modified only with  the consent of the Owner, except  as
may be required by applicable law.
 
                                 ANNUITY PERIOD
 
ANNUITY BENEFITS
 
    If  the Annuitant and Owner are alive  on the Annuity Date, the Company will
begin making payments to the Annuitant  under the annuity option or options  the
Owner has chosen.
 
    The Owner may choose or change an annuity payment option by making a written
request at least thirty (30) days prior to the Annuity Date.
 
    The amount of the payments will be determined by applying the Contract Value
on  the Annuity Date. The amount of the  annuity payments will depend on the age
of the payee at the time the settlement contract is issued. At the Annuity  Date
the Contract Value in each Sub-account will be applied to the applicable annuity
tables contained in the Contract. The amount of the Sub-account annuity payments
are determined through a calculation described in the Section captioned "Annuity
Provisions" in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
ANNUITY DATE
 
    The Annuity Date for the Annuitant is:
 
    (a)  the  first  day  of  the calendar  month  following  the  later  of the
       Annuitant's 85th birthday or the 10th Contract Anniversary; or
 
    (b) such earlier date as may be set by applicable law.
 
    The Owner may designate an earlier date in the application or may change the
Annuity Date by making a written request at least thirty (30) days prior to  the
Annuity Date being changed. However, any Annuity Date must be:
 
    (a) no later than the date defined in (a) above; and
 
    (b) the first day of a calendar month.
 
ANNUITY OPTIONS
 
    The  Owner may choose to receive annuity  payments which are fixed, or which
are based on the  Variable Account, or  a combination of the  two. If the  Owner
elects  annuity payments which are based on  the Variable Account, the amount of
the payments  will be  variable.  The Owner  may  not transfer  Contract  Values
between the General Account and the Variable Account after the Annuity Date, but
may,   subject  to  certain  conditions,   transfer  Contract  Values  from  one
Sub-account to  another Sub-account.  (See  "The Fund  -- Transfer  of  Contract
Values" on page 16.)
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
    If  the  Owner has  not made  any  annuity payment  option selection  at the
Annuity Date, the  Contract Value  will be applied  to purchase  Option 2  fixed
basis  annuity  payments  and  Option  2  variable  basis  annuity  payments, in
proportion to  the amount  of Contract  Value  in the  General Account  and  the
Variable Account, respectively.
 
    The annuity payment options are:
 
    OPTION 1:  LIFE INCOME.  The Company will pay an annuity during the lifetime
of the payee.
 
    OPTION  2:  LIFE INCOME  WITH 10 YEARS OF  PAYMENTS GUARANTEED.  The Company
will pay an annuity during  the lifetime of the payee.  If, at the death of  the
payee, payments have been made for less than 10 years:
 
    (a)  payments will be  continued during the  remainder of the  period to the
       successor payee;
 
    (b) the successor payee may elect to receive in a lump sum the present value
       of the remaining payments, commuted at  the interest rate used to  create
       the annuity factor for this Option; or
 
    (c)  the  guaranteed period  will not  in  the case  of Contracts  issued in
       connection with an IRA exceed the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the
       time the first payment is due.
 
    OPTION 3:  JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR INCOME.  The Company will pay an  annuity
for  as long as either the payee or  a designated second person is alive. In the
event that the Contract  is issued in  connection with an  IRA, the payments  in
this Option will be made only to the Annuitant and the Annuitant's spouse.
 
    The  annuity payment  options are more  fully explained in  the Statement of
Additional Information. The Company may also offer additional options at its own
discretion.
 
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
    If the  Contract Value  applied  to annuity  payment  options is  less  than
$2,000,  the Company has the  right to pay the  amount in a lump  sum in lieu of
annuity payments. The Company makes all other annuity payments monthly. However,
if the total monthly annuity payment would be less than $100 the Company has the
right to make payments semi-annually or annually.
 
    If fixed annuity payments are selected, the amount of each fixed payment  is
determined by multiplying the Contract Value allocated to purchase fixed annuity
payments  by the factor shown in the annuity table specified in the Contract for
the option selected, divided by 1,000.
 
    If variable annuity payments are selected, the Annuitant receives the  value
of  a fixed  number of  Annuity Units  each month.  The actual  dollar amount of
variable annuity payments is dependent upon: (i) the Contract Value at the  time
of  annuitization; (ii) the  annuity table specified in  the Contract; (iii) the
Annuity Option  selected; (iv)  the investment  performance of  the  Sub-account
selected; and (v) the pro-rata portion of the annual Administrative charge.
 
    The  annuity tables  contained in  the Contract  are based  on a  5% assumed
investment rate. If  the actual net  investment rate exceeds  5%, payments  will
increase.  Conversely, if the actual rate is less than 5%, annuity payments will
decrease.
 
                                 DEATH BENEFIT
 
    If the Annuitant (or Owner, if applicable) dies before the Annuity Date, the
Company will pay  a death  benefit equal  to the  greater of:  (a) the  purchase
payments  paid less  withdrawals; (b) the  Contract Value; or,  (c) the greatest
Contract Value  at  any  sixth  contract  anniversary  increment  (i.e.,  sixth,
twelfth,  eighteenth, etc.) plus  any additional purchase  payment paid less any
subsequent withdrawals.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
    Before the Company will pay any death benefit, the Company will require  due
proof  of death. The Company will determine the value of the death benefit as of
the Valuation Period following  receipt of due proof  of death at the  Company's
Office.  The Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary in accordance
with any applicable laws governing the payment of death proceeds.
 
    Payment of the death benefit  may be made in one  lump sum or applied  under
one  of the annuity payment options. (See "Annuity Period -- Annuity Options" on
page 19.) The Owner may  by written request elect that  any death benefit of  at
least  $2,000 be  received by the  Beneficiary under an  annuity payment option.
(See "Annuity Period -- Annuity Options" on  page 19.) If no payment option  had
been selected by the Owner, the Beneficiary has sixty (60) days in which to make
a  written request  to elect either  a lump  sum payment or  any annuity payment
option. Any  lump sum  payment will  be made  within seven  (7) days  after  the
Company  has  received  due proof  of  death  and the  written  election  of the
Beneficiary, unless a delay of payments  provision is in effect. (See  Statement
of Additional Information -- "General Information -- Delay of Payments.")
 
DEATH OF THE OWNER
 
    If  an Owner dies before the Annuity Date, the entire Contract Value must be
distributed within five (5) years of the date of death, unless:
 
    (a) it  is  payable over  the  lifetime  of a  designated  Beneficiary  with
       distributions beginning within one (1) year of the date of death; or
 
    (b)  the Contingent Owner, if any, continues  the Contract in his or her own
       name.
 
    In the  case  of  Contracts issued  in  connection  with an  IRA  plan,  the
Beneficiary  or Contingent  Owner may  elect to  accelerate these  payments. Any
method of acceleration chosen must be approved by the Company.
 
    If the Owner dies after the  Annuity Date, distribution will be as  provided
in the annuity payment option selected.
 
                             PURCHASING A CONTRACT
 
APPLICATION
 
    In  order to acquire a Contract, an application provided by the Company must
be completed and submitted to the Company's Office for acceptance.
 
    The Company must also receive the initial purchase payment. Upon acceptance,
the Contract is issued to the Owner and the purchase payment is then credited to
the Variable  Account and  converted into  Accumulation Units,  except in  those
states  where the applicable premium tax  is deducted from the purchase payment.
(See "The Fund -- Allocation of  Purchase Payment to Sub-accounts" on page  12.)
If  the application for a Contract is in  good order, the Company will apply the
purchase  payment  to  the  Variable  Account  and  credit  the  Contract   with
Accumulation  Units within two (2) business days  of receipt. In addition to the
underwriting requirements of the Company, good order means that the Company  has
received  federal funds (monies  credited to a bank's  account with its regional
Federal Reserve Bank). If the application for  a Contract is not in good  order,
the  Company will attempt to get it in  good order within five (5) business days
or the Company will return the application and the purchase payment, unless  the
prospective  owner specifically consents  to the Company's  retaining them until
the application is made complete.
 
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
 
    The minimum initial purchase payment  is $5,000 for Non-Qualified  Contracts
and $2,000 for a Contract purchased in connection with an IRA or 403(b) Plan.
 
    Owners  of flexible premium contracts  may make additional purchase payments
prior to the Annuity Date. The  minimum additional purchase payment the  Company
will  accept is $1,000. The  Company reserves the right  to refuse to accept any
additional purchase payments.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
DISCOUNT PURCHASE PROGRAMS
 
    Purchases made by officers, directors  and employees of either the  Company,
an affiliate of the Company or any individual, firm or company that has executed
the  necessary agreements  to sell  the Contracts and  members of  each of their
immediate families  will not  be  subject to  the  Deferred Sales  Charge.  (See
"Charges  and Deductions  -- Deduction for  Deferred Sales Charge"  on page 17.)
Such purchases include retirement accounts and must be for accounts in the  name
of the individual or qualifying family member.
 
DISTRIBUTOR
 
    AIG  Equity Sales Corp.  ("AESC"), formerly known  as American International
Fund Distributors,  Inc.,  80 Pine  Street,  New York,  New  York, acts  as  the
distributor  of the  Contracts. AESC  is a  wholly-owned subsidiary  of American
International Group, Inc. and an affiliate of the Company.
 
    Commissions not to exceed 7% of  purchase payments will be paid to  entities
which sell the Contracts. Additional payments may be made for other services not
directly  related to  the sale of  the Contracts, including  the recruitment and
training  of  personnel,  production  of  promotional  literature,  and  similar
services.
 
    Under  the Glass-Steagall Act  and other laws,  certain banking institutions
may be prohibited from distributing variable  annuity contracts. If a bank  were
prohibited  from  performing  certain  agency  or  administrative  services  and
receiving fees from AESC, Owners who purchased Contracts through the bank  would
be  permitted to retain their Contracts  and alternate means for servicing those
Owners would be sought.  It is not expected,  however, that Owners would  suffer
any  loss of services  or adverse financial  consequences as a  result of any of
these occurrences.
 
                                 CONTRACT VALUE
 
    The Contract Value is the sum  of the value of all Sub-account  Accumulation
Units attributable to the Contract and amounts contributed to a guarantee period
of the General Account. (See "Appendix"). The value of an Accumulation Unit will
vary  from Valuation  Period to Valuation  Period. The value  of an Accumulation
Unit is  determined  at  the  end  of the  Valuation  Period  and  reflects  the
investment earnings, or loss, and the deductions for the Valuation Period.
 
                                  WITHDRAWALS
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL
 
    The  Owner may partially withdraw Contract  Value from the Contract prior to
the Annuity Date. Any partial withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:
 
    (a) the Company must receive a written request;
 
    (b) the amount requested must be at least $500;
 
    (c) any applicable Deferred Sales Charge will be deducted;
 
    (d) the amount withdrawn  will be the  sum of the  amount requested and  the
       amount of any applicable Deferred Sales Charge; and
 
    (e)  the Company  will deduct the  amount requested plus  any Deferred Sales
       Charge from each Sub-account of the Variable Account either as  specified
       or  in the  proportion that the  Sub-account bears to  the total Contract
       Value.
 
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
 
    During the Accumulation Period an Owner may at any time elect in writing  to
take  systematic withdrawals  from one  or more  of the  Sub-accounts or  from a
guarantee period  of  the General  Account  (See "Appendix  --  General  Account
Option") for a period of time not to exceed 12 months. In order to initiate this
program,  the amount to be systematically withdrawn  must be equal to or greater
than
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
$200 provided that the Contract  Value is equal to  or greater than $24,000  and
the  amount  to  be  withdrawn  does  not  exceed  the  Free  Withdrawal Amount.
Systematic withdrawals will be made without the imposition of the Deferred Sales
Charge. Systematic withdrawals may occur monthly or quarterly.
 
    The systematic withdrawal program  may be cancelled at  any time by  written
request  or automatically  should the Contract  Value fall below  $1,000. In the
event the systematic withdrawal program is cancelled, the Owner may not elect to
participate in such program until the next Contract Anniversary.
 
    An Owner may change once per  Contract Year the amount or frequency  subject
to be withdrawn on a systematic basis.
 
    The  systematic  withdrawal  program  is  annually  renewable,  although the
limitations set forth above shall continue to apply.
 
    The Free Withdrawal  Amount (see  "Charges and Deductions  -- Deduction  for
Deferred  Sales Charge" on page 17) and  Dollar Cost Averaging (See Statement of
Additional Information -- "General Information -- Transfers") are not  available
while  a Owner is receiving systematic withdrawals. An Owner will be entitled to
the Free Withdrawal Amount and Dollar  Cost Averaging on and after the  Contract
Anniversary next following the termination of the systematic withdrawal program.
 
    Implementation  of the systematic withdrawal program may subject an Owner to
adverse tax  consequences, including  a  10% tax  penalty  tax. (See  "Taxes  --
Taxation  of  Annuities in  General"  on page  24 for  a  discussion of  the tax
consequences of withdrawals.)
 
TOTAL WITHDRAWAL
 
    The Owner may withdraw the entire Contract Value prior to the Annuity  Date.
A total withdrawal will cancel the Contract. The total withdrawal value is equal
to  the Contract Value  next calculated after receipt  of the written withdrawal
request,  less  any   applicable  Deferred   Sales  Charge,   less  the   annual
Administrative  Charge  and less  any applicable  premium  taxes, and,  less any
applicable charges assessed to amounts in the General Account. (See "Charges and
Deductions" on page 16 and "Appendix -- General Account Option".)
 
PAYMENT OF WITHDRAWALS
 
    Any Contract Values  withdrawn will be  sent to the  Owner within seven  (7)
days  of receipt of the written request,  unless the Delay of Payments provision
is in effect. (See Statement  of Additional Information -- "General  Information
- -- Delay of Payments.") (See "Taxes -- Taxation of Annuities in General" on page
24 for a discussion of the tax consequences of withdrawals.)
 
    The Company reserves the right to ensure that an Owner's check or other form
of  purchase  payment  has been  cleared  for  payment prior  to  processing any
withdrawal or redemption request occurring shortly after a purchase payment.
 
    Certain restrictions  on  withdrawals are  imposed  on Contracts  issued  in
connection with 403(b) Plans. (See "Taxes -- 403(b) Plans" on page 27.)
 
                                     TAXES
 
INTRODUCTION
 
    The  Contracts are  designed to  accumulate Contract  Values with retirement
plans which, except for IRAs and  403(b) Plans, are generally not  tax-qualified
plans  ("Qualified Plans"). The  ultimate effect of Federal  income taxes on the
amounts held under a Contract, on annuity payments, and on the economic benefits
to the Owner, Annuitant  or Beneficiary depend on  the Company's tax status  and
upon  the tax  and employment status  of the  individual concerned. Accordingly,
each potential Owner should  consult a competent tax  adviser regarding the  tax
consequences of purchasing a Contract.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
    The  following discussion is  general in nature  and is not  intended as tax
advice. No attempt is made to consider  any applicable state or other tax  laws.
Moreover,  the  discussion  is based  upon  the Company's  understanding  of the
Federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. No representation  is
made  regarding the likelihood  of continuation of the  Federal income tax laws,
the Treasury Regulations, or the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "Service"). For a discussion of Federal income taxes as they relate
to the Fund, please see the accompanying Prospectus for the Fund.
 
COMPANY TAX STATUS
 
    The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of  Subchapter
L  of the  Internal Revenue  Code of  1986, as  amended (the  "Code"). Since the
Variable Account is not  a separate entity from  the Company and its  operations
form  a part  of the Company,  it will not  be taxed separately  as a "regulated
investment company"  under  Subchapter M  of  the Code.  Investment  income  and
realized  capital gains on the assets of the Variable Account are reinvested and
taken into account  in determining  the Contract Value.  Under existing  Federal
income tax law, the Variable Account's investment income, including realized net
capital  gains, is not taxed  to the Company. The  Company reserves the right to
make a deduction for taxes from the  assets of the Variable Account should  they
be imposed with respect to such items in the future.
 
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL -- NON-QUALIFIED PLANS
 
    Code  Section 72 governs the taxation of  annuities. In general, an Owner is
not taxed on increases in value under  a Contract until some form of  withdrawal
or   distribution   is  made   under  the   Contract.  However,   under  certain
circumstances, the  increase in  value may  be subject  to tax  currently.  (See
"Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons," and "Diversification Standards".)
 
    WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY DATE
 
    Code  Section 72 provides that a total or partial withdrawal from a Contract
prior to the Annuity Date  will be treated as taxable  income to the extent  the
amounts held under the Contract on the date of withdrawal exceed the "investment
in the contract," as that term is defined under the Code. The "investment in the
contract"  can generally be described as the  cost of the Contract. It generally
constitutes the sum  of all  purchase payments made  for the  contract less  any
amounts  received under  the Contract that  are excluded from  gross income. The
taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income. For purposes of this rule, a pledge
or assignment of a  Contract is treated  as a payment received  on account of  a
partial withdrawal of a Contract.
 
    WITHDRAWALS ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
 
    Upon receipt of a lump sum payment or an annuity payment under the Contract,
the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the investment
in  the Contract. Ordinarily, the taxable portion of payments under the Contract
will be taxed as ordinary income.
 
    For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is generally
determined by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio", which  establishes
the ratio that the investment in the Contract bears to the total expected amount
of  annuity payments for the term of the Contract. That ratio is then applied to
each payment to determine the nontaxable  portion of the payment. The  remaining
portion  of  each payment  is  taxed as  ordinary  income. For  variable annuity
payments, the taxable  portion is determined  by a formula  which establishes  a
specific  dollar amount of each payment that  is not taxed. The dollar amount is
determined by dividing  the investment in  the Contract by  the total number  of
expected  periodic payments. The  remaining portion of each  payment is taxed as
ordinary income.
 
    The Company  is obligated  to  withhold Federal  income taxes  from  certain
payments  unless the recipient elects otherwise. Prior to the first payment, the
Company will notify the payee of the right to elect out of withholding and  will
furnish a form on which the election may be made. The payee must properly notify
the  Company  of that  election  in advance  of the  payment  in order  to avoid
withholding.

    PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN WITHDRAWALS
 
    With respect to amounts withdrawn or distributed before the taxpayer reaches
age 59, a 10% penalty  tax is imposed upon the  portion of such amount which  is
includable  in  gross  income.  However,  the  penalty  tax  will  not  apply to
withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the Owner (or where the Owner  is
not  an individual, the death of the  "primary annuitant", who is defined as the
individual, the  events  in  the life  of  whom  are of  primary  importance  in
affecting  the  timing  or  amount  of  the  payout  under  the  Contract); (ii)
attributable to the taxpayer's becoming  totally disabled within the meaning  of
Code  Section 72(m)(7); (iii) which are part  of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
expectancy) of the taxpayer, or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies)  of
the  taxpayer and his beneficiary; (iv)  allocable to investment in the Contract
before August 14, 1982; (v) under a qualified funding asset (as defined in  Code
Section  130(d)); (vi)  under an immediate  annuity contract; or  (vii) that are
purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of qualified plans  and
which are held by the employer until the employee separates from service.
 
    If  the  penalty tax  does not  apply to  a  withdrawal as  a result  of the
application of item  (iii) above, and  the series of  payments are  subsequently
modified  (other than by reason  of death or disability),  the tax for the first
year in which the modification  occurs will be increased  by an amount equal  to
the  tax that  would have been  imposed but  for item (iii)  above as determined
under Treasury Regulations, plus interest for the deferral period. The foregoing
rule applies if the modification takes place: (a) before the close of the period
which is five years from  the date of the first  payment and after the  taxpayer
attains age 59 1/2; or (b) before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2.
 
    ASSIGNMENTS
 
    Any assignment or pledge of the Contract as collateral for a loan may result
in  a taxable event and the excess  of the Contract Value over purchase payments
will be  taxed to  the assignor  as  ordinary income.  Please consult  your  tax
adviser prior to making an assignment of the Contract.
 
    DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
 
    In  order  to be  treated  as an  annuity  contract for  Federal  income tax
purposes, a Contract must generally  provide for the following two  distribution
rules: (i) if the Owner dies on or after the Annuity Date, and before the entire
interest  in the  Contract has been  distributed, the remaining  portion of such
interest will be distributed at least as quickly as the method in effect on  the
Owner's  death; and (ii)  if an Owner  dies before the  Annuity Date, the entire
interest must  generally be  distributed within  five years  after the  date  of
death.  To  the extent  such interest  is payable  to a  designated Beneficiary,
however, such interest may  be annuitized over the  life of that Beneficiary  or
over  a period not extending beyond the  life expectancy of that Beneficiary, so
long as distributions commence within one year  after the date of death. If  the
Beneficiary  is the spouse of the Owner, the Contract may be continued unchanged
in the name of the spouse as Owner.
 
    If the Owner is not an individual, the "primary annuitant" (as defined under
the Code)  is considered  the  Owner. In  addition, when  the  Owner is  not  an
individual,  a change in  the primary annuitant  is treated as  the death of the
Owner.
 
    GIFTS OF CONTRACTS
 
    Any transfer of a Contract prior to the Annuity Date for less than full  and
adequate  consideration will generally trigger tax  on the gain in the Contract.
The transferee will receive a  step-up in basis for  the amount included in  the
transferor's  income. This provision, however, does not apply to those transfers
between spouses or  incident to  a divorce which  are governed  by Code  Section
1041(a).
 
    CONTRACTS OWNED BY NON-NATURAL PERSONS
 
    If  the Contract is held by a non-natural person (for example, a corporation
or trust)  the Contract  is generally  not treated  as an  annuity contract  for
Federal  income  tax purposes,  and the  income on  the Contract  (generally the
excess of the Contract Value over the purchase payments) is includable in income
each year. The  rule does not  apply where  the non-natural person  is only  the
nominal owner
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
such  as a trust  or other entity acting  as an agent for  a natural person. The
rule also  does not  apply when  the Contract  is acquired  by the  estate of  a
decedent,  when the  Contract is  held under  certain qualified  plans, when the
Contract is  a qualified  funding  asset for  structured settlements,  when  the
Contract  is purchased on behalf of an  employee upon termination of a qualified
plan, and in the case of an immediate annuity.
 
    SECTION 1035 EXCHANGES
 
    Code Section 1035 provides that no gain  or loss shall be recognized on  the
exchange  of an  annuity contract  for another  annuity contract.  A replacement
contract obtained in a tax-free exchange of contracts succeeds to the status  of
the  surrendered contract.  Special rules and  procedures apply  to Code Section
1035 transactions. Prospective owners wishing to take advantage of Code  Section
1035 should consult their tax advisers.
 
    MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
 
    Annuity  contracts that are issued by the same company (or affiliate) to the
same Owner during any calendar year will  be treated as one annuity contract  in
determining  the amount  includable in  the taxpayer's  gross income.  Thus, any
amount received under any such contract prior to the contract's annuity starting
date will be taxable (and possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent
of the combined income in all such contracts. The Treasury has broad  regulatory
authority  to prevent avoidance of the purposes  of this aggregation rule. It is
possible that, under  this authority, Treasury  may apply this  rule to  amounts
that  are  paid as  annuities  (on or  after  the starting  date)  under annuity
contracts issued by the same company to the same Owner during any calendar  year
period.  In this  case, annuity  payments could  be fully  taxable (and possibly
subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent of the combined income in all such
contracts and  regardless  of  whether  any amount  would  otherwise  have  been
excluded from income. Owners should consult a tax adviser before purchasing more
than one Contract or other annuity contracts.
 
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
 
    To  comply  with  the  diversification  regulations  promulgated  under Code
Section 817(h)  (the "Diversification  Regulations"), after  a start-up  period,
each  Sub-account is required to  diversify its investments. The Diversification
Regulations generally require that on the last day of each quarter of a calendar
year no more than 55% of the value of the assets of a Sub-account is represented
by any one investment, no more than  70% is represented by any two  investments,
no  more than 80% is represented by any  three investments, and no more than 90%
is represented by any four investments. A "look-through" rule applies so that an
investment in the Fund  is not treated  as one investment but  is treated as  an
investment  in a  pro-rata portion  of each  underlying asset  of the  Fund. All
securities of the same issuer are treated as a single investment. In the case of
government securities, each Government agency or instrumentality is treated as a
separate issuer.
 
    In connection with the issuance of the proposed and temporary version of the
Diversification Regulations,  Treasury announced  that such  regulations do  not
provide  guidance  concerning  the  extent  to  which  Owners  may  direct their
investments to particular divisions of a  separate account. It is possible  that
if  and  when  additional  regulations or  IRS  pronouncements  are  issued, the
Contract may need to be modified to  comply with such rules. For these  reasons,
the  Company reserves the right to modify the Contract, as necessary, to prevent
the Owner from being considered the owner of the assets of the Variable Account.
 
    The Company intends to comply with the Diversification Regulations to assure
that the  Contracts continue  to be  treated as  annuity contracts  for  Federal
income tax purposes.
 
QUALIFIED PLANS
 
    The Contracts may be used to create an IRA. The Contracts are also available
for  use in connection with a previously  established 403(b) Plan. No attempt is
made herein  to provide  more than  general  information about  the use  of  the
Contracts    with    IRAs   or    403(b)    Plans.   The    information   herein
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
is not  intended as  tax advice.  A  prospective Owner  considering use  of  the
Contract  to create  an IRA  or in  connection with  a 403(b)  Plan should first
consult a competent tax adviser with  regard to the suitability of the  Contract
as an investment vehicle for their qualified plan.
 
    While the Contract will not be available in connection with retirement plans
designed  by the Company which qualify  for the federal tax advantages available
under Sections 401 and 457 of the Code, a Contract can be used as the investment
medium for an  individual Owner's  separately qualified  retirement plan.  Under
amendments  to  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  which  became  effective  in 1993,
distributions from  a  qualified  plan  (other  than  non-taxable  distributions
representing a return of capital, distributions meeting the minimum distribution
requirement,  distributions for the life or  life expectancy of the recipient(s)
or distributions that are made over a period of more than 10 years) are eligible
for tax-free rollover within 60 days of  the date of distribution, but are  also
subject  to federal income tax withholding at a 20% rate unless paid directly to
another qualified plan. If the recipient is unable to take full advantage of the
tax-free rollover provisions, there may be taxable income, and the imposition of
a 10%  penalty  if the  recipient  is under  age  59 1/2.  A  prospective  Owner
considering  use of the Contract  in this manner should  consult a competent tax
adviser with regard to the suitability of the Contract for this purpose and  for
information concerning the provisions of the Code applicable to qualified plans.
 
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
 
    Section  408 of  the Code permits  eligible individuals to  contribute to an
IRA. Contracts issued in  connection with an IRA  are subject to limitations  on
eligibility, maximum contributions, and time of distribution. Distributions from
certain  retirement plans  qualifying for federal  tax advantages  may be rolled
over into  an IRA.  Sales of  the Contracts  for use  with IRAs  are subject  to
special  requirements  imposed by  the Service,  including the  requirement that
informational disclosure be given to each  person desiring to establish an  IRA.
The IRAs offered by this Prospectus are not available in all states.
 
403(B) PLANS
 
    Code  Section 403(b)(11) imposes certain  restrictions on an Owner's ability
to make partial withdrawals from Code Section 403(b) Contracts, if  attributable
to purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement. Specifically, Code
Section 403(b)(11) allows a Owner to make a surrender or partial withdrawal only
(a)  when the  employee attains  age 59  1/2, separates  from service,  dies, or
becomes disabled (as defined in  the Code), or (b) in  the case of hardship.  In
the  case of  hardship, only  an amount  equal to  the purchase  payments may be
withdrawn. In addition, under Code Section 403(b) the employer must comply  with
certain  non-discrimination requirements. Owners  should consult their employers
to determine whether the employer has complied with these rules. The 403(b) Plan
offered by this Prospectus is not available in all states.

GENERAL ACCOUNT OPTION
 
    Under  the General Account option, Contract Values are held in the Company's
General Account. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests  in
the  General Account have not  been registered under the  Securities Act of 1933
nor is  the  General Account  registered  as  an investment  company  under  the
Investment  Company Act of 1940.  The Company understands that  the staff of the
Securities and  Exchange Commission  has not  reviewed the  disclosures in  this
Prospectus  relating to the General Account portion of the Contract. Disclosures
regarding the  General Account  may, however,  be subject  to certain  generally
applicable  provisions of the  federal securities laws  relating to the accuracy
and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. The General Account  option
is not available in all states.
 
    During the Accumulation Period the Owner may allocate amounts to the General
Account.  The General Account is  an account maintained by  us into which all of
our assets have been allocated other than the assets of the Variable Account and
any other separate accounts  we maintain. The initial  Purchase Payment will  be
invested  in the General  Account in accordance  with the selection  made by the
Owner in the application. In the case of flexible premium contracts,  additional
Purchase  Payments will be  allocated to General Account  in accordance with the
selection made by  the Owner  in the application  or the  most recent  selection
received  at the Company Office, unless otherwise specified by the Owner. If the
Owner elects  to withdraw  amounts  from the  General Account  such  withdrawal,
except  as otherwise  provided in  this Appendix,  will be  subject to  the same
conditions as  imposed on  withdrawals from  the Variable  Account. The  Company
reserves  the right to delay any payment from  the General Account for up to six
(6) months from the date it receives such request at its Office.
 
INVESTMENTS IN THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
 
    An allocation of  the initial Purchase  Payment to a  guarantee period  must
equal  the greater  of (a) or  (b) where:  (a) is a  percentage that  is a whole
number, equal to or greater than 10% and  (b) is a dollar amount which is  equal
to  or greater than $3,000. Subsequent  Purchase Payments under flexible premium
Contracts allocated  to a  guarantee period  must be  equal to  or greater  than
$3,000.  Amounts invested in the General Account are credited with interest on a
daily basis  at the  then  applicable effective  guarantee rate.  The  effective
guarantee  rate is  that rate  in effect when  the Owner  allocates or transfers
amounts to  the General  Account.  If the  Owner  has allocated  or  transferred
amounts  at different times to the  General Account, each allocation or transfer
may have a  unique effect guarantee  rate and guarantee  period associated  with
that  amount. We guarantee that the effective guarantee rate will not be changed
more than once per year and will not be less than 3%.
 
GENERAL ACCOUNT TRANSFERS
 
    Prior  to  the  end  of  a  guarantee  period  the  Owner  may  specify  the
sub-account(s) of the Variable Account or the applicable guarantee period of the
General  Account to which the  Owner wants the amounts  from the General Account
transferred at the end of the guarantee period. If the Owner does not notify  us
prior  to the end  of the guarantee period,  we will apply that  amount to a new
guarantee period  in the  General Account,  which is  then subject  to the  same
conditions  as the original  guarantee period, including  the condition that the
amount cannot be transferred out  of the General Account  until the end of  that
guarantee  period. The effective guarantee rate  applicable to the new guarantee
period may be  different from  the effective  guarantee rate  applicable to  the
original  guarantee period. These transfers will be  handled at no charge to the
Owner.
 
    During the Accumulation Period the Owner may transfer, by written request or
telephone authorization,  Contract  Values  to  or from  a  sub-account  of  the
Variable  Account to  a guarantee  period of  the General  Account at  any time,
subject to the conditions set out under Transfer of Contract Values Section. For
flexible premium contracts,  transfers from  a guarantee period  of the  General
Account  to a sub-account of  the Variable Account may be  made at any time. For
single premium contracts, transfers from the General Account are allowed only at
the end of the guarantee period.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
 
    A transfer,  withdrawal, payment  of a  death benefit,  or annuitization  of
amounts  allocated to the General Account of  a flexible premium contract may be
subject to  a  Market Value  Adjustment  which will  be  applied to  the  amount
transferred,  withdrawn, paid or annuitized. The Market Value Adjustment is made
by multiplying the amount  to be transferred, withdrawn,  paid or annuitized  by
the following formula:
 
    1 + .75 X (A-B) X [N/12], where:
 
<TABLE>
<S>    <C>    <C>
A      =      The  Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable
              to the guarantee period of that  portion
              of proceeds being transferred,
              withdrawn, paid or annuitized.
B      =      The  Guaranteed Interest  Rate currently
              available  for   the  same   length   of
              guarantee  period  as that  remaining in
              the period applicable to that portion of
              proceeds being  transferred,  withdrawn,
              paid or annuitized. If no such guarantee
              period  exists, the  Guaranteed Interest
              Rate will be calculated by straight line
              interpolation of the Guaranteed Interest
              Rates of available guarantee periods.
N      =      The  number  of  complete  and   partial
              months  remaining  to  the  end  of  the
              guarantee  period  applicable  to   that
              portion  of proceeds  being transferred,
              withdrawn, paid or annuitized.
</TABLE>
 
GUARANTEE PERIODS
 
    The period(s) for which a Guaranteed Interest Rate is credited is called the
guarantee period. Guarantee periods may be offered or withdrawn at the Company's
discretion. The  initial  guarantee  period(s)  and  the  applicable  Guaranteed
Interest  Rate(s) applicable to the initial Purchase  Payment is as shown on the
application, unless such  purchase payment  is made under  an IRA  plan. At  the
expiration  of  any guarantee  period  applicable to  all  or a  portion  of the
Contract Value, that portion of the Contract Value will be automatically renewed
for another Guarantee  Period for  the same  duration as  the expired  guarantee
period  and will receive  the Guaranteed Interest  Rate then in  effect for that
guarantee period, unless other guarantee periods are available and are requested
in writing by the Owner. All requests to change a guarantee period at the end of
an existing guarantee period must be received in writing at the Company's Office
no earlier  than 30  days prior  to the  end of  that guarantee  period.  Single
premium contracts have only the one year Guarantee Period available.
 
MINIMUM SURRENDER VALUE
 
    The  Minimum Surrender Value for amounts  allocated to a guarantee period of
the General Account equals  the amounts allocated to  a guarantee period of  the
General Account paid (less withdrawals) with interest compounded annually at the
rate of 3%, reduced by any applicable Deferred Sales Charge.

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION

     A.   YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD QUOTATIONS FOR THE MONEY MARKET SUB-ACCOUNT

     The yield quotation for the Money Market Sub-account to be set forth in the
Prospectus will be for the seven days ended on the date of the most recent
balance sheet of the Variable Account included in the registration statement,
and will be computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital
changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of
one Accumulation Unit in the Money Market Sub-account at the beginning of the
period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Owner
accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and multiplying
the base period return by (365/7) with the resulting figure carried to at least
the nearest hundredth of one percent.

     Any effective yield quotation for the Money Market Sub-account to be set
forth in the Prospectus will be for the seven days ended on the date of the most
recent balance sheet of the Variable Account included in the registration
statement, and will be carried at least to the nearest hundredth of one percent,
and will be computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital
changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of
one Accumulation Unit in the Money Market Sub-account at the beginning of the
period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Owner
accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and then
compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising 



                                        B - 3

<PAGE>


the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7 and subtracting 1 from the result,
according to the following formula:

    EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1) 365/7]-1.




     For purposes of the yield and effective yield computations, the
hypothetical charge reflects all deductions that are charged to all Owner
accounts in proportion to the length of the base period.  For any fees that vary
with the size of the account, the account size is assumed to be the Money Market
Sub-account's mean account size.  The yield and effective yield quotations do
not reflect the Deferred Sales Charge that may be assessed at the time of
withdrawal in an amount ranging up to 6% of the requested withdrawal amount.
(See "Charges and Deductions - Deduction for Deferred Sales Charge" on page   
 of the Prospectus)  No deductions or sales loads are assessed upon 
annuitization under the Contracts.  Realized gains and losses from the sale 
of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Money 
Market Sub-account and the Fund are excluded from the calculation of yield.



     B.   TOTAL RETURN QUOTATIONS

     The total return quotations for all of the Sub-accounts to be set forth in
the Prospectus will be average annual total return quotations for the one, five,
and ten year periods (or, where a Sub-account has been in existence for a period
of less than one, five or ten years, for such lesser period) ended on the date
of the most recent balance sheet of the Variable Account and for the period from
the date monies were first placed into the Sub-accounts until the aforesaid
date.  The quotations are computed by finding the average annual compounded
rates of return over the relevant periods that would equate the initial amount
invested to the ending redeemable value, according to the following formula:

                                   n
                            P(1+T)   = ERV

     Where:         P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

                    T = average annual total return

                    n = number of years

                    ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
                    payment made at the beginning of the particular
                    period at the end of the particular period.

     For the purposes of the total return quotations for all of the
Sub-accounts, the calculations take into effect all fees that are charged to all
Owner accounts.  For any fees that vary with the size of the account, the
account size is assumed to be the respective Sub-account's mean account size.
The calculations also assume a total withdrawal as of the end of the particular
period.

    C.   YIELD QUOTATIONS FOR THE SHORT-TERM MULTI-MARKET, U.S. GOVERNMENT/HIGH
         GRADE SECURITIES AND GLOBAL BOND SUB-ACCOUNTS

    The yield quotations for the Short-Term Multi-Market, U.S. Government/High
Grade Securities and Global Bond Sub-accounts that will be set forth in the
Prospectus will be based on the thirty-day period ended on the date of the most
recent balance sheet of the Variable Account included in the registration
statement, and are computed by dividing the net investment income per
Accumulation Unit earned during the period by the maximum offering price per
unit on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:


                                          6
                     Yield = 2[(a - b + 1)  - 1]

         Where:         a =  net investment income earned during the period by
                             the corresponding Series of the Fund attributable
                             to shares owned by the Sub-account.

                        b =  expenses accrued for the period (net of
                             reimbursements).

                        c =  the average daily number of Accumulation Units
                             outstanding during the period.

                        d =  the maximum offering price per Accumulation Unit
                             on the last day of the period.

    For the purposes of the yield quotations for the Short-Term Multi-Market,
U.S. Government/High Grade Securities and Global Bond Sub-accounts, the
calculations take into effect all fees that are charged to all Owner accounts.
For any fees that vary with the size of the account, the account size is assumed
to be the respective Sub-account's mean account size.  The calculations do not
take into account the Deferred Sales Charge or any transfer charges.

    A Deferred Sales Charge may be assessed at the time of withdrawal in an
amount ranging up to 6% of the requested withdrawal amount. (See "Charges and 
Deductions -Deduction for Deferred Sales Charge" on page 17 of the 
Prospectus) There is currently a transfer charge of $10 per transfer after a 
specified number of transfers in each Contract Year.  (See "Alliance Variable 
Products Series Fund, Inc., - Transfer of Contract Values" on page 16 of the 
Prospectus.)

    The total return quotations for all of the Sub-accounts to be set forth in
the Prospectus will be average annual total return quotations for the one, five,
and ten year periods (or, where a Sub-account has been in existence for a period
of less than one, five or ten years, for such lesser period) ended on the date
of the most recent balance sheet of the Variable Account and for the period from
the date monies were first placed into the Sub-accounts until the aforesaid
date.  The quotations are computed by finding the average

annual compounded rates of return over the relevant periods that would equate
the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value, according to the
following formula:

                                  n 
                           P(1+T)   = ERV

              Where:    P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

                        T = average annual total return

                        n = number of years

                      ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical
                            $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the
                            particular period at the end of the
                            particular period.

    For the purposes of the total return quotations, the calculations take into
effect all fees that are charged to all Owner accounts.  For any fees that vary
with the size of the account, the account size is assumed to be the respective
Sub-account's mean account size.  The calculations do not, however, assume a
total withdrawal as of the end of the particular period and therefore, no
Surrender Charge is reflected.

         2.   TAX DEFERRED ACCUMULATION

    In reports or other communications to You or in advertising or sales
materials, the Company may also describe the effects of tax-deferred compounding
on the Variable Account's investment returns or upon returns in general.  These
effects may be illustrated in charts or graphs and may include comparisons at
various points in time of returns under the Contract or in general on a tax-
deferred basis with the returns on a taxable basdis.  Different tax rates may be
assumed.

    In general, individuals who own annuity contracts are not taxed on inreases
in the value under the annuity contract until some form of distribution is made
from the contract.  Thus, the annuity contract will benefit from tax deferral
during the accumulation period, which generally will have the effect of
permitting an investment in an annuity contract to grow more rapidly than a
comparable investment under which increases in value are taxed on a current
basis.  The following chart illustrates this benefit by comparing accumulation
under the Contract with accumulations from an investment on which gains are
taxed on a current basis.  The chart shows accumulations on an initial
investment or Purchase Payment of $25,000, assuming hypothetical gross annual
return of 0%, 4% and 8%, compounded annually, and a tax rate of 31%.  The values
shown for the taxable investment do not include any deduction for management
fees or other expenses but assume that taxes are deducted annually from
investment returns.  The values shown for the Contract reflect the deduction of
contractual expenses such as the 1.25% mortality and expense risk charge, the
0.15% Administrative Charge and the $30 Contract Maintenance Charge, but not the
expenses of an underlying investment vehicle.  In addition, these values assume
that the Owner does not surrender the Contract or make any withdrawals until the
end of the period shown.  The chart assumes a full withdrawal, at the end of the
period shown, of all contract value and the payment of taxes at the 31% rate on
the amount in excess of the Purchase Payment.

    The rates of return illustrated are hypothetical and are not an estimate or
guaranty of performance.  Actual tax rates may vary for different taxpayers from
that illustrated and withdrawals by Owners who have not reached age 59 1/2 may
be subject to a tax penalty of 10%.

DELAY OF PAYMENTS

         Any payments due under the Contracts will generally be sent to the
Owner within seven (7) days of a completed request for payment.  However, the
Company has reserved the right to postpone any type of payment from the Variable
Account for any period when:

              (a)  the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than
                   customary weekends and holidays;

              (b)  trading on the Exchange is restricted;

              (c)  an emergency exists as a result of which it is not
                   reasonably practicable to dispose of securities held in the
                   Variable Account or determine their value; or

              (d)  an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission permits
                   delay for the protection of security holders.

    The applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission shall govern
as to whether the conditions in (b) and (c) exists.

TRANSFERS

    An Owner may deposit prior to the Annuity Date, all or part of his Contract
Value into the Money Market or Short-Term Multi-Market Sub-account (the Sending
Sub-account"), and then automatically transfer those assets into one or more of
the other Sub-accounts on a systematic basis.  The amount transferred to the
Sending Sub-account must be at least $12,000 in order to initiate this option.
This process is called Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging.

    The Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging option is available for use with any of
the investment options, other than the General Account.

    Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging transfers may occur monthly or quarterly.
The Owner may designate the dollar amount to be transferred each month or elect
to have a percentage transferred each month, up to a maximum of 60 months.

    The Company will make all Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging transfers on the
15th calendar day of each month, or the next day the New York Stock Exchange is
open for business if the 15th calendar day of the month should fall on a day the
New York Stock Exchange is closed.  In order to process an Automatic Dollar Cost
Averaging transfer, the Company must have received a request in writing by no
later than the 6th calendar day of the month.

    The Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging option may be cancelled at any time by
written request or automatically if the value of the Sending Sub-account subject
to the Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging option is less than $1,000.

    An Owner may change his Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging investment
allocation only once during any 12 month period.


                                        B - 9

<PAGE>


    Any transfers made under this section are subject to the conditions of the
section entitled "Alliance Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. - Transfer of
Contract Values" on page 15 of the Prospectus, except that the Company will not
deem the election of the Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging option to count towards
a Owner's twelve (12) free transfers.


                        METHOD OF DETERMINING CONTRACT VALUES

    The Contract Value will fluctuate in accordance with the investment results
of the underlying Portfolio of the Fund held within the Sub-account.  In order
to determine how these fluctuations affect Contract Values, Accumulation Units
are utilized.  The value of an Accumulation Unit applicable during any Valuation
Period is determined at the end of that period.

    When the first shares of the respective Portfolios of the Fund were
purchased for the Sub-accounts, the Accumulation Units for the Sub-accounts were
valued at $10.  The value of an Accumulation Unit for a Sub-account on any
Valuation Date thereafter is determined by dividing (a) by (b), where:

    (a)  is equal to:

          (i)  the total value of the net assets attributable to Accumulation
         Units in the Sub-account, minus

         (ii)  the daily charge for assuming the risk of guaranteeing mortality
         factors and expense charges which is equal on an annual basis to 1.25%
         multiplied by the daily net asset value of the Sub-account; minus

         (iii)  the daily charge for providing certain administrative functions
         which is equal on an annual basis to 0.15% multiplied by the daily net
         asset value of the Sub-account; minus or plus

         (iv) a charge or credit for any tax provision established for the
         Sub-account.  The Company is not currently making any provision for
         taxes.

    (b)  is the total number of Accumulation Units applicable to that
    Sub-account at the end of the Valuation Period.

    The resulting value of each Sub-account Accumulation Unit is multiplied by
the respective number of Sub-account Accumulation Units for a Contract.  The
Contract Value is the sum of all Sub-account values for the Contract.

    An Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease in value from Valuation Date
to Valuation Date.

                                  ANNUITY PROVISIONS

ANNUITY BENEFITS

    If the Annuitant is alive on the Annuity Date the Company will begin making
payments to the Annuitant under the payment option or options selected.  The
amount of the annuity payments will depend on the age of the payee at the time
the settlement contract is issued.

Annuity Options

         The annuity options are as follows:

         OPTION 1:  LIFE INCOME.  The Company will pay an annuity during the
         lifetime of the payee.

         OPTION 2:  INCOME WITH 10 YEARS OF PAYMENTS GUARANTEED.  The Company
         will pay an annuity during the lifetime of the payee.  If, at the
         death of the payee, payments have been made for less than 10 years:

              (a)  payments will be continued during the remainder of the
              period to the successor payee; or

              (b)  the successor payee may elect to receive in a lump sum the
              present value of the remaining payments, commuted at the interest
              rate used to create the annuity factor for this Option.

         OPTION 3:  JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR INCOME.  The Company will pay an
         annuity for as long as either payee or a designated second person is
         alive.

    Annuity options are available on a fixed and/or a variable basis.  The
Owner may allocate Contract Values to purchase only fixed annuity payments, or
to purchase only variable annuity payments, or to purchase a combination of the
two.  Contract Values which purchase fixed annuity payments will be invested in
the General Account.  Contract Values which purchase variable annuity payments
will be invested in the Variable Account.  The Owner may make no transfers
between the General Account and the Variable Account after the Annuity Date.
The Company also may offer additional options at its discretion.

VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT VALUES

    A Variable Annuity is an annuity with payments which (1) are not
predetermined as to dollar amount and (2) will vary in amount with the net
investment results of the applicable Sub-account(s) of the Variable Account.  At
the Annuity Date the Contract Value in each Sub-account will be applied to the
applicable Annuity Tables contained in the Contract.  The Annuity Table used
will depend upon the payment option chosen.  The same Contract Value amount
applied to each payment option may produce a different initial annuity payment.
If, as of the Annuity Date, the then current annuity rates applicable to  this
class of contracts will provide a larger income than that guaranteed for the
same form of annuity under the Contracts described herein, the larger amount
will be paid.


                                        B - 11

<PAGE>

    The first annuity payment for each Sub-account is determined by multiplying
the amount of the Contract Value allocated to that Sub-account by the factor
shown in the table for the option selected, divided by 1000.


    The dollar amount of Sub-account annuity payments after the first is
determined as follows:

         (a)  The dollar amount of the first annuity payment is divided by the
         value for the Sub-account Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date.  This
         establishes the number of Annuity Units for each monthly payment.  The
         number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity payment
         period, subject to any transfers.

         (b)  The fixed number of Annuity Units is multiplied by the Annuity
         Unit value for the Valuation Period 14 days prior to the date of
         payment.

    The total dollar amount of each Variable Annuity payment is the sum of all
Sub-account variable annuity payments less the pro-rata amount of the annual
Administrative Charge.

ANNUITY UNIT

    The value of an Annuity Unit for each Sub-account was arbitrarily set
initially at $10.  This was done when the first Fund shares were purchased.  The
Sub-account Annuity Unit value at the end of any subsequent Valuation Period is
determined by multiplying the Sub-account Annuity Unit value for the immediately
preceding Valuation Period by the quotient of (a) and (b) where:

         (a)  is the net investment factor for the Valuation Period for which
         the Sub-account Annuity Unit value is being determined; and

         (b)  is the assumed investment factor for such Valuation Period.  The
         assumed investment factor adjusts for the interest assumed in
         determining the first variable annuity payment.  Such factor for any
         Valuation Period shall be the accumulated value, at the end of such
         period, of $1.00 deposited at the beginning of such period at the
         assumed investment rate of 5%.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

    The net investment factor is used to determine how investment results of
the Fund affect Variable Account Values within the Sub-accounts from one
Valuation Period to the next.  The net investment factor for each Sub-account
for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting
(c) from the result, where:

         (a)  is equal to:

               (i)  the net asset value per share of the Fund held in the
         Sub-account determined at the end of that Valuation Period; plus

              (ii)  the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain
         distribution made by the Fund held in the Sub-account if the
         "ex-dividend" date occurs during that same Valuation Period; plus or
         minus


                                        B - 12

<PAGE>

              (iii)  a per share charge or credit, which is determined by the
         Company, for changes in tax reserves resulting from investment
         operations of the Sub-account.


         (b)  is equal to:

               (i)  the net asset value per share of the Fund held in the
         Sub-account determined as of the end of the prior Valuation Period;
         plus or minus

              (ii)      the per share charge or credit for any change in tax
         reserves for the prior Valuation Period.

         (c)  is equal to:

                (i)     the percentage factor representing the Mortality and
         Expense Risk Charge, plus

               (ii)     the percentage factor representing the daily
         Administrative Charge.

The net investment factor may be greater or less than the assumed investment
factor; therefore, the Annuity Unit value may increase or decrease from
Valuation Period to Valuation

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

    The Company may require proof of the age of the Annuitant before making any
life annuity payment provided for by the Contract.  If the age of the Annuitant
has been misstated the Company will compute the amount payable based on the
correct age.  If annuity payments have begun, any underpayments that may have
been made will be paid in full with the next annuity payment.  Any overpayments,
unless repaid to the Company in one sum, will be deducted from future annuity
payments until the Company is repaid in full.

    If a Contract provision requires that a person be alive, the Company may
require due proof that the person is alive before the Company acts under that
provision.

    The Company will give the payee under an annuity payment option a
settlement contract for the payment option.

<PAGE>
                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
AIG Life Insurance Company:
 
    We  have  audited  the accompanying  balance  sheets of  AIG  Life Insurance
Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc.) as  of
December  31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of  the three years in the period ended  December
31,  1995. These  financial statements are  the responsibility  of the Company's
management. Our  responsibility is  to  express an  opinion on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.
 
    We  conducted  our audits  in  accordance with  generally  accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In  our opinion, the financial statements  referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial  position of AIG Life Insurance  Company
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows  for each  of the three  years in the  period ended December  31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
    As discussed in Note 1 (h) to the financial statements, the Company  changed
in  1993, its  method of  accounting for  investments in  certain fixed maturity
securities.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    (a)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  AIG  Life Insurance Company (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 and health insurance in the District of Columbia and all
states except for Maine and New York.
 
    The Company  also files  financial statements  prepared in  accordance  with
statutory  practices prescribed or permitted by  the Insurance Department of the
State of Delaware.  Financial statements prepared  in accordance with  generally
accepted  accounting principles  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  market value. Included  in fixed maturities available
for sale are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). Premiums and  discounts
arising  from the purchase  of CMO's are  treated as yield  adjustments over the
estimated life. Common and non-redeemable preferred stocks are carried at market
value. 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 in  stockholders' equity,  net of
amounts recorded  as future  policy  benefits and  any related  deferred  income
taxes.
 
    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.
 
    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.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    Other invested  assets consist  primarily of  limited partnership  interests
which  are  carried  at  market  value. Unrealized  gains  and  losses  from the
revaluation of these investments are  reflected in stockholders' equity, net  of
any  related  taxes. Also  included in  this  category is  an interest  rate cap
agreement, which is carried at its amortized cost. The cost of the cap is  being
amortized  against investment income on  a straight line basis  over the life of
the cap.
 
    (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 on
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.
 
    (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.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    (h)  ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
 
    In March  1995,  the  Financial Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121  "Accounting  for  the
Impairment of Long-lived  Assets and for  Long-lived Assets to  Be Disposed  Of"
(FASB   121).  This  statement  requires  that  long-lived  assets  and  certain
identifiable intangibles be reviewed for  impairment whenever events or  changes
in  circumstances  indicate that  the carrying  amount  of an  asset may  not be
recoverable and an impairment loss must be recognized.
 
    FASB 121  is effective  for  the Company  commencing  January 1,  1996.  The
Company  believes  that the  adoption of  this  statement in  1996 will  have an
immaterial  impact  on  the  results  of  operations,  financial  condition  and
liquidity.
 
    In December 1995, FASB issued "Special Report, a Guide to the Implementation
of  Statement No. 115 on  Accounting for Certain Investments  in Debt and Equity
Securities". Among other things, this guide provided for a transition  provision
permitting  a one-time  transfer of  debt securities  from the  held to maturity
classification to the  available for  sale classification. The  Company did  not
transfer  any  securities  from  the  held  to  maturity  classification  to the
available for sale classification.
 
    In 1994,  the American  Institute of  Certified Public  Accountants  (AICPA)
issued  a Statement  of Position (SOP)  94-6 "Disclosure  of Certain Significant
Risks and Uncertainties" (SOP 94-6). Pursuant to SOP 94-6, the Company has  made
certain  disclosures as to the  use of estimates in  the preparation of its 1995
financial statements.  Certain  other  disclosures were  not  necessary  as  the
Company did not meet the required criteria.
 
    In November of 1992, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FASB 112). FASB 112
established accounting standards for employers who provide benefits to former or
inactive  employees after employment but before retirement. FASB 112 was adopted
effective January  1, 1994,  and  had no  significant  effect on  the  Company's
results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
    In October 1994, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
118  "Accounting by  Creditors for Impairment  of a  Loan-Income Recognition and
Disclosures" (FASB 118). FASB  118 amends FASB  114 to allow  a creditor to  use
existing methods to recognize interest income on an impaired loan. FASB 118 also
amends certain disclosure requirements of FASB 114. The Company adopted FASB 114
and  118 effective December 31,  1994. The adoption of  these statements did not
cause any significant impact on  the Company's results of operations,  financial
condition or liquidity.
 
    In October 1994, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
119  "Disclosure  about  Derivative  Financial  Instruments  and  Fair  Value of
Financial Instruments" (FASB 119). FASB 119 requires disclosure about derivative
financial instruments  and  amends FASB  105  "Disclosure of  Information  about
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with
Concentrations  of Credit Risk" (FASB 105) and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107 "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments".
 
    FASB 119  requires  disclosure  about  the  amounts,  nature  and  terms  of
derivatives that are not subject to FASB 105. Also, FASB 119 requires disclosure
about  financial instruments  held or issued  for trading  purposes and purposes
other than trading. This statement was adopted by the Company effective December
31, 1994.
 
    In  May  1993,  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Accounting  Standards  No.  115
"Accounting  for Certain Investments  on Debt and  Equity Securities" (FASB 115)
and the Company adopted this standard at December 31, 1993. The pretax  increase
in   carrying   value   of   fixed   maturities   available   for   sale   as  a

</TABLE>
 
    (b)  Long duration contract liabilities  included in future policy benefits,
as presented in the  table above, result from  traditional life 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 for  traditional  life insurance  products  are 9.5
    percent graded to 7.0 percent over 30 years. The liability for future policy
    benefits for universal life insurance has been established using FASB 97 and
    assumes a  1.0  percent  investment margin.  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 12.2 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 2.5 percent.
 
    (c) The liability for policyholders'  funds 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 4.0 percent  to 8.3 percent. Credited interest  rate
    guarantees  are  generally  for a  period  of one  year.  Withdrawal charges
    generally range from  6.0 percent  to 10.0 percent  grading to  zero over  a
    period of 6 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 5.1 percent to 9.1 percent and maturities range from 2
    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 1995 was
    10.5 percent.
 
       (iv)  The  universal  life  funds,  exclusive  of  corporate  owned  life
    insurance business,  have credited  interest  rates of  6.1 percent  to  7.0
    percent    and    guarantees    ranging   from    4.0    percent    to   5.5

    percent depending on the year  of issue. Additionally, universal life  funds
    are  subject to  surrender charges  that amount to  7.5 percent  of the fund
    balance and grade to zero over a period not longer than 20 years.
 
5.  INCOME TAXES
 
    (a) The Federal  income tax rate  applicable to ordinary  income is 35%  for
1995,  1994 and 1993. Actual tax expense  on income from operations differs from
the "expected" amount computed by applying  the Federal income tax rate  because
of the following (in thousands except percentages):

    (c) At December 31,  1995, accumulated earnings of  the Company for  Federal
income tax purposes include approximately $2,204,000 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 1995,  1994, and  1993 amounted  to $26,030,000,
$25,052,000, and $17,669,000, respectively.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    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.
 
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 values.
 
        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.
 
        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  value of  the 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.
 
        INTEREST RATE CAP:  Fair values for the interest rate cap were estimated
    using values obtained from an independent pricing service.
 
        POLICYHOLDERS' FUNDS ON  DEPOSIT:  Fair  value 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):

8.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
    (a)  The  maximum  stockholder  dividend which  can  be  paid  without prior
regulatory approval is subject to restrictions relating to statutory surplus and
statutory net  gain  from  operations. These  restrictions  limited  payment  of
dividends to $44,970,000 during 1995, however, no dividends were paid during the
year.
 
    (b)  The  Company's stockholders'  equity as  determined in  accordance with
statutory accounting  practices  was  $176,951,000  at  December  31,  1995  and
$145,209,000 at December 31, 1994. Statutory net income amounted to $39,712,000,
$47,002,000, and $10,441,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
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.  Prior  to  January  1,  1996,  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, 1995,  1994
and  1993 were approximately $304,000, $179,000, and $248,000, 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,  1995  by
$59,620,000.
 
    (b) The Parent also sponsors a voluntary savings plan for domestic employees
(a 401(k) plan), which, during the  two years ended December 31, 1994,  provided
for  salary reduction contributions  by employees and  matching contributions by
the Parent of up to 2 percent of annual salary. Commencing January 1, 1995,  the
401(k) plan provided for matching contributions by the Parent of up to 6 percent
of annual salary depending on the employee's years of service.
 
    (c) 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.
 
    (d) Employees of the Company participate  in certain stock option and  stock
purchase plans of the Parent. In general, under the stock option plans, 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.

9.  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
In  general, the stock purchase plans  provide 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.
 
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, 1995, the  future minimum lease
payments under operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

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):

    (c)   Reinsurance  recoveries,  which  reduced  death  and  other  benefits,
approximated $51,264,000, $34,252,000, and  $15,182,000, respectively, for  each
of the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
 
    The  Company's reinsurance arrangements do not  relieve the Company from its
direct obligation to its insureds.
 
12. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
 
    (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 for 1995 amounted to $1,269,000 and  $1,000,
respectively.   Premium  income  and  commission  ceded  for  1994  amounted  to
$1,267,000 and $2,000, respectively. Premium income ceded to affiliates amounted
to $322,000 for  the year  ended December 31,  1993. There  were no  commissions
ceded  to  affiliates  in 1993.  Premium  income and  ceding  commission expense
assumed from affiliates  aggregated $90,688,000  and $23,422,000,  respectively,
for  1995, compared to $75,005,000 and  $20,374,000, respectively, for 1994, and
$69,076,000 and $19,469,000, respectively for 1993.
 
    (b) The  Company  is party  to  several  cost sharing  agreements  with  its
affiliates. Generally, these agreements provide for the allocation of costs upon
either the specific identification basis or a proportional cost allocation basis
which  management believes  to be reasonable.  For the years  ended December 31,
1995, 1994  and 1993,  the  Company was  charged $23,193,000,  $21,392,000,  and
$19,961,000,  respectively, for expenses attributed  to the Company but incurred
by affiliates. During the same period, the Company received reimbursements  from
affiliates  aggregating $14,496,000, $13,383,000, and $12,210,000, respectively,

To the Contract Owners of
AIG Life Insurance Company
Variable Account I

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of AIG 
Life Insurance Company Variable Account I (the "Account") comprising the 
Money Market, Premier Growth, Growth and Income, International, Short-Term 
Multi-Market, Global Bond, U.S. Government/High Grade Securities, Global 
Dollar Government, North American Government, Utility Income, Conservative 
Investors, Growth Investors, Growth, Total Return, and Worldwide 
Privatization Subaccount, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement 
of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net 
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial 
Statements are the responsibility of the management of Variable Account I. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
Our procedures included confirmation of investments held as of December 31, 
1995 by correspondence with the transfer agent. An audit also includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our 
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of AIG Life Insurance Company 
Variable Account I as of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations 
for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets for each of the 
two years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                               VARIABLE ACCOUNT I

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  HISTORY
Variable Account I (the "Account") is a separate investment account maintained
under the provisions of Delaware Insurance Law by AIG Life Insurance Company
(the "Company"), a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc.  The Account
operates as a unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, and supports the operations of the Company's individual
single purchase payment deferred variable annuity contracts, individual flexible
premium deferred variable annuity contracts and group flexible premium deferred
variable annuity contracts (the "contracts").  The Account invests in shares of
Alliance Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund").  The Fund consists of
fifteen series:  Money Market Portfolio; Short-Term Multi-Market Portfolio;
Premier Growth Portfolio (formerly the Growth Portfolio); Growth and Income
Portfolio; International Portfolio; Global Bond Portfolio; U.S. Government/High
Grade Securities Portfolio; Global Dollar Government Portfolio; North American
Government Portfolio; Utility Income Portfolio; Conservative Investors
Portfolio, Growth Investors Portfolio; Growth Portfolio; Total Return Portfolio
and World Privatization Portfolio.  The Account invests in shares of other funds
which are not available to these contracts.

On June 22, 1992, the initial investment was made in the Fund.

The assets of the Account are the property of the Company.  The portion of the
Account's assets applicable to the contracts are not chargeable with liabilities
arising out of any other business conducted by the Company.

In addition to the Account, a contract owner may also allocate funds 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 for a selected period.  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.  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 as of December 31, 1995 and the reported amounts from operations and
policy transactions during 1995 and 1994.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


3.  CONTRACT CHARGES
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 1.25% of the value of the contracts.

Daily charges for administrative expenses are assessed through the daily unit
value calculation and are equivalent on an annual basis to 0.15% of the value of
the contracts.  In addition, an annual administrative expense charge of $30 is
assessed against each contract on its anniversary date by surrendering units.

The contracts provide that in the event that a contract owner withdraws all or a
portion of the contract value within six contract years of a premium payment,
they will be assessed a deferred sales charge.  The deferred sales charge is
based on a table of charges, of which the maximum charge is 6% of the contract
value for single premium contracts and 6% of premiums paid for flexible premium
contracts, subject to a maximum of 8.5% of purchase payments.

Certain states impose premium taxes upon contracts.  The Company intends to
advance premium taxes due until the contract is surrendered or annuitized.

    Purchase   payments  for   the  Individual  Contracts   or  Group  Contracts
(collectively, the "Contracts")  will be  allocated to  a segregated  investment
account of the Company which account has been designated Variable Account I (the
"Variable Account"). The Variable Account invests in shares of the Portfolios of
the available Funds.
 
    The  Contracts provide that  in the event  that an Owner  withdraws all or a
portion of the Contract Value within the  first six contract years there may  be
assessed  a Deferred Sales Charge. The Deferred Sales Charge is based on a table
of charges, of which the maximum charge is currently 6% of premium to which  the
charge  is applicable  for flexible  premium Contracts,  and 6%  of the Contract
Value for single  premium Contracts, subject  to a maximum  of 8.5% of  purchase
payments.  (See "Charges and Deductions --  Deduction for Deferred Sales Charge"
on page 16.)
 
    Any premium or other taxes levied by any governmental entity with respect to
the Contracts will be charged against  the purchase payments or Contract  Value.
Premium taxes currently imposed by certain states on the Contracts range from 0%
to  3.5%.  The  Company will  also  deduct  from any  amount  payable  under the
Contracts any  income taxes  a governmental  authority requires  the Company  to
withhold  with respect to that amount. (See "Charges and Deductions -- Deduction
for Premium and Other Taxes" on page 16.)
 
    The Company deducts from the Contract Value and/or the Variable Account  any
Federal  income taxes resulting from the  operation of the Variable Account. The
Company does not currently anticipate incurring any income taxes. (See  "Charges
and Deductions -- Deduction for Income Taxes" on page 17.)
 
    The  Company deducts for each Valuation  Period a Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge which is equal on an annual basis to 1.25% of the average daily net asset
value of the  Variable Account. (See  "Charges and Deductions  -- Deduction  for
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge" on page 16.)
 
    The Company deducts for each Valuation Period an Administrative Charge which
is equal on an annual basis to 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of the
Variable  Account.  In addition,  the Company  deducts an  annual Administrative
Charge  which  is  currently  $30  per  year,  from  the  Contract  Value.   The
Administrative  Charges are designed to reimburse the Company for administrative
expenses relating to maintenance of the  Contract and the Variable Account.  The
Company may increase the annual Administrative Charge to an amount not to exceed
$100  per year.  (See "Charges  and Deductions  -- Deduction  for Administrative
Charge" on page 17.)
 
    There are deductions and expenses paid out of the assets of the Funds  which
are described in the accompanying Prospectuses for the Funds.
 
    There  is a 10% tax  penalty applied to the  income portion of any premature
distribution from the Contracts. However, the penalty is not imposed on  certain
distributions  including  but not  limited to  amounts  received: (a)  after the
taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2; (b) after the death of the Annuitant (or Owner,  as
applicable);  (c)  if the  taxpayer  is totally  disabled;  (d) in  a  series of
substantially equal periodic payments made for  the life of the taxpayer or  for
the  joint lives  of the  taxpayer and his  beneficiary; (e)  under an immediate
annuity; (f) which are allocable to  purchase payments made prior to August  14,
1982;  (g) under a qualified funding asset  (as defined in Code Section 130(d));
or (h) that are purchased  by an employer upon  termination of certain types  of
qualified  plans and which are held by the employer until the employee separates
from service. Withdrawals are  deemed to be on  a last-in-first-out basis.  (See
"Taxes -- Taxation of Annuities in General" on page 23.)
 
    The  Owner may return the  Contract within twenty (20)  days (the "Free Look
Period") after  it is  received by  delivering or  mailing it  to the  Company's
Office.  The return of the Contract by  mail will be effective when the postmark
is affixed to  a properly addressed  and postage prepaid  envelope. The  Company
will  refund the Contract Value.  In the case of  Contracts issued in connection
with an IRA the Company  will refund the greater  of the purchase payment,  less
any withdrawals, or the Contract
 
                                       4

Value.  However, if the laws of a  state require that the Company refund, during
the Free Look  Period, an amount  equal to  the purchase payment  paid less  any
withdrawals, the Company will refund such an amount.

    The  purpose  of  the  table set  forth  above  is to  assist  the  Owner in
understanding the various costs and expense that an Owner will bear directly  or
indirectly.  The table reflects expenses of the  Variable Account as well as the
Funds. (See "Charges  and Deductions"  on page 15  of this  Prospectus and  each
Fund's Prospectus for further information.)
 
    Any premium or other taxes levied by any governmental entity with respect to
the  Contracts will be  charged against the purchase  payments or Contract Value
based on  a percentage  of premiums  paid. Premium  taxes currently  imposed  by
certain  states on the  Contracts range from  0% to 3.5%  of premiums paid. (See
"Charges and Deductions -- Deduction for Premium and Other Taxes" on page 16.)
 
    "Other Expenses"  are based  upon the  expenses outlined  under the  section
discussing the management of a Fund in each Fund's attached Prospectus.
- ------------------------
    *Operating expenses for the following Portfolios before reimbursement by the
relevant  Fund's investment  adviser, for the  period ending  December 31, 1995,
were  as  follows:  Alliance  Conservative  Investors,  4.26%;  Alliance  Growth
Investors, 6.17%; Alliance Growth, 1.27%; Fidelity Growth, 1.13%; Fidelity Asset
Manager,  1.13%; and, Van  Eck Worldwide Balanced, 78.40%;  of the average daily
net assets.  Fund  operating  expenses  for  the  following  Portfolios,  before
reimbursement  by the relevant Fund's investment adviser, are estimated, for the
period ending December  31, 1996,  to be  2.51% for  the Short-Term  Retirement,
2.70%  for the Medium-Term and 3.71% for the Long-Term Retirement Portfolios, of
the average  daily  net  assets.  Voluntary  reimbursements  by  the  investment
advisers  are not required to be continued indefinitely; however, reimbursements
are expected to continue in 1996.

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA
 
    The Company may, from  time to time,  advertise certain performance  related
information concerning one or more of the Sub-accounts, including information as
to  total return and yield. Performance information about a Sub-account is based
on the Sub-account's past performance only and is not intended as an  indication
of future performance.
 
    When   the  Company  advertises  the  average   annual  total  return  of  a
Sub-account, it will usually be calculated  for one, five, and ten year  periods
or,  where a Sub-account has been in existence  for a period less than one, five
or ten years, for such lesser period. Average annual total return is measured by
comparing the value of the investment in  a Sub-account at the beginning of  the
relevant  period  to  the value  of  the investment  at  the end  of  the period
(assuming the deduction of any Deferred  Sales Charge which would be payable  if
the  account  were  redeemed at  the  end  of the  period)  and  calculating the
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
average annual compounded rate of return  necessary to produce the value of  the
investment  at the  end of  the period.  The Company  may simultaneously present
returns that  do  not assume  a  surrender and,  therefore,  do not  deduct  the
Deferred Sales Charge.
 
    When the Company advertises the yield of a Sub-account it will be calculated
based  upon a given 30-day  period. The yield is  determined by dividing the net
investment income earned per Accumulation Unit during the period by the value of
an Accumulation Unit on the last day of the period.
 
    When the Company advertises the performance of the Money Market  Sub-account
it  may  advertise in  addition  to the  total return  either  the yield  or the
effective yield. The yield of the Money Market Sub-account refers to the  income
generated  by an  investment in  that Sub-account  over a  seven-day period. The
income is  then  annualized  (i.e.,  the  amount  of  income  generated  by  the
investment  during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week
period and is shown as a percentage  of the investment). The effective yield  is
calculated  similarly but when annualized the  income earned by an investment in
the Money Market Sub-account  is assumed to be  reinvested. The effective  yield
will be slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of this
assumed reinvestment during a 52-week period.
 
    Total  return  at the  Variable  Account level  is  reduced by  all contract
charges:  sales  charges,   mortality  and   expense  risk   charges,  and   the
administrative  charges, and is therefore lower than  the total return at a Fund
level, which has no comparable charges.  Likewise, yield and effective yield  at
the Variable Account level take into account all recurring charges (except sales
charges),  and are therefore lower than the  yield and effective yield at a Fund
level, which has no comparable charges.
 
    Performance information  for  a Sub-account  may  be compared  to:  (i)  the
Standard  & Poor's 500 Stock Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Donoghue Money
Market Institutional Averages, indices  measuring corporate bond and  government
security  prices as  prepared by Lehman  Brothers, Inc. and  Salomon Brothers or
other indices measuring performance of a  pertinent group of securities so  that
investors  may  compare  a  Sub-account's  results  with  those  of  a  group of
securities widely  regarded by  investors as  representative of  the  securities
markets  in  general; (ii)  other variable  annuity  separate accounts  or other
investment products  tracked  by  Lipper  Analytical  Services,  a  widely  used
independent  research  firm  which  ranks  mutual  funds  and  other  investment
companies by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets, or  tracked
by other ratings services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate
accounts  or other investment products on overall performance or other criteria;
(iii) the Consumer Price Index (measure  for inflation) to assess the real  rate
of  return from an investment  in the Contract; and  (iv) indices or averages of
alternative financial products available to prospective investors, including the
Bank Rate Monitor which monitors average returns of various bank instruments.
 
FINANCIAL DATA
 
    Financial Statements  of  the Company  may  be  found in  the  Statement  of
Additional  Information. No financial  statements for the  Variable Account have
been provided in the Statement of Additional Information because as of the  date
of  this Prospectus, the Subaccounts were  not yet in operation and consequently
had no assets invested in the underlying portfolios of the Funds.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
    The Company is a stock life  insurance company which is organized under  the
laws  of  the State  of  Delaware. The  Company provides  a  full range  of life
insurance  and  annuity  plans.  The   Company  is  a  subsidiary  of   American
International  Group, Inc., which serves as the  holding company for a number of
companies engaged  in  the  international  insurance  business,  both  life  and
general, in over 130 countries and jurisdictions around the world.
 
    The   Company  may  from  time-to-time   publish  in  advertisements,  sales
literature and reports to Owners, the ratings and other information assigned  to
it  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
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
reflect  the financial strength and/or claims-paying  ability of the Company and
should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held
in the separate account. Each year the A. M. Best Company reviews the  financial
status  of  thousands  of  insurers, culminating  in  the  assignment  of Best's
Ratings. These ratings  reflect A.  M. Best's  current opinion  of the  relative
financial  strength  and  operating  performance  of  an  insurance  company  in
comparison to the norms of the life/ health insurance industry. In addition, the
claims-paying ability of the Company as measured by Standard & Poor's  Insurance
Ratings  Services,  and the  financial strength  of the  Company as  measured by
Moody's  Investors  Services,  may  be  referred  to  in  advertisements,  sales
literature  or in  reports to  Owners. These  ratings are  their opinions  of an
operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of  its
life insurance policies and annuity contracts in accordance with their terms. In
regard  to their ratings of  the Company, these ratings  are explicitly based on
the existence of a Support Agreement, dated as of December 31, 1991, between the
Company and its parent American  International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), pursuant  to
which  AIG has agreed to cause the Company  to maintain a positive net worth and
to provide the  Company with  funds on  a timely  basis sufficient  to meet  the
Company's  obligations  to  its  policyholders. The  Support  Agreement  is not,
however, a direct or indirect guarantee by  AIG to any person of the payment  of
any  of the Company's indebtedness,  liabilities or other obligations (including
obligations to the Company's policyholders).
 
    The ratings are not recommendations to purchase the Company's 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 relating
to the Support Agreement, such as a lowering of AIG's long-term debt rating,  so
warrant.  The ratings do not reflect  the investment performance of the Variable
Account or the  degree of  risk associated with  an investment  in the  Variable
Account.
 
                              THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
 
    The  Board of Directors of the Company  adopted a resolution to maintain the
Variable Account pursuant to Delaware insurance law. The Company has caused  the
Variable Account to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
a unit investment trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act
of 1940.
 
    The assets of the Variable Account are the property of the Company. However,
the  assets of the  Variable Account, equal  to the reserves  and other contract
liabilities with  respect  to the  Variable  Account, are  not  chargeable  with
liabilities  arising out of any other  business the Company may conduct. Income,
gains and  losses,  whether  or  not  realized,  are,  in  accordance  with  the
Contracts, credited to or charged against the Variable Account without regard to
other  income, gains or losses of the Company. The Company's obligations arising
under the  Contracts  are general  corporate  obligations of  the  Company.  The
Variable  Account may be subject to  liabilities arising from Sub-accounts whose
assets are  attributable to  other  variable annuity  contracts offered  by  the
Variable Account which are not described in this Prospectus.
 
    The  Variable Account is divided into  Sub-accounts, with the assets of each
Sub-account invested in  shares of  a corresponding portfolio  of the  available
Funds.  The Company may, from time to time, add additional Portfolios of a Fund,
and, when appropriate, additional Funds to  act as the funding vehicles for  the
Contracts.

TOMORROW FUNDS RETIREMENT TRUST
 
    SHORT-TERM RETIREMENT FUND
 
    This  portfolio seeks to  satisfy the retirement goals  of investors who are
currently between 51  and 65 years  of age  and with an  average remaining  life
expectancy in the range of 20-30 years.
 
    MEDIUM-TERM RETIREMENT FUND
 
    This  portfolio seeks to  satisfy the retirement goals  of investors who are

expectancy in the range of 35-50 years.
 
    LONG-TERM RETIREMENT FUND
 
    This  portfolio seeks to  satisfy the retirement goals  of investors who are
currently between 22  and 35 years  of age  and with an  average remaining  life
expectancy in the range of 50 years or more.
 
    Each  Tomorrow Funds  portfolio invests  its assets,  in varying  amonts, in
equity and fixed-income securities of all types. The amount of assets  allocated
to  equity securities  is currently  invested, in  varying amounts,  among large
capitalization stocks, medium capitalization stocks, small capitalization stocks
and,  indirectly  through  other   investment  companies,  foreign   securities.
Typically,  the  longer  the average  life  expectancy  of the  target  class of
investors in a Tomorrow Funds portfolio, the greater the allocation of assets of
that portfolio to securities with higher growth potential and,  correspondingly,
more  risk, such  as small  capitalization stocks.  Conversely, the  shorter the
average life expectancy  of the target  class of investors  in a Tomorrow  Funds
portfolio,  the greater the emphasis on  current income and capital preservation
of assets and, therefore, the greater the allocation of assets of that portfolio
to fixed-income securities. Each Tomorrow  Funds portfolio will be managed  more
conservatively as the average age of its target class of investors increases.
 
    Weiss, Peck & Greer, L.L.C. is the investment adviser for the Tomorrow Funds
portfolios.  Tomorrow  Funds include  other portfolios  which are  not available
under this  Prospectus as  funding  vehicles for  the Contracts.  More  detailed
information regarding management of the funds, investment objectives, investment
advisory  fees and other charges assesed by the Tomorrow Funds, are contained in
the prospectuses of the Tomorrow Funds, included with this Prospectus.
 
    THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE  INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF THE PORTFOLIOS  WILL
BE MET.
 
    The  shares of  Alliance Funds,  Fidelity Funds,  Dreyfus Fund,  the Dreyfus
Stock Index Fund, the Tomorrow Funds, and Van Eck Funds are sold not only to the
Variable Account, but may be sold to other separate accounts of the Company that
fund benefits under variable annuity and  variable life policies. The shares  of
the Funds are also sold to separate accounts of other insurance companies. It is
conceivable  that in the future it  may become disadvantageous for variable life
and variable annuity separate accounts to  invest in the same underlying  mutual
fund.  Although neither we nor Alliance Funds, Fidelity Funds, Dreyfus Fund, the
Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, the Tomorrow Funds, and Van
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
Eck Funds currently perceive or anticipate any such disadvantage, the Funds will
monitor events  to  determine  whether  any  material  conflict  exists  between
variable annuity Owners and variable life Owners.
 
    Material  conflicts could  result from such  occurrences as:  (1) changes in
state insurance laws; (2) changes in federal income tax law; (3) changes in  the
investment   management  of  any   Fund;  or  (4)   differences  between  voting
instructions given by variable annuity Owners  and those given by variable  life
Owners.  In the event  of a material  irreconcilable conflict, we  will take the
steps necessary to protect our variable  annuity and variable life Owners.  This
could include discontinuance of investment in a Fund.
 
    Each  Fund sells and redeems its shares at Net Asset Value without any sales
charge. Any dividends or distributions from security transactions of a Fund  are
reinvested  at Net Asset Value  in shares of the  same Portfolio; however, there
are sales and additional charges associated with the purchase of the Contracts.
 
    Further information about  the Funds and  the managers is  contained in  the
accompanying  prospectuses,  which  You  should read  in  conjunction  with this
prospectus.
 
SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
 
    If investment in a  Subaccount should no  longer be possible  or, if in  Our
judgment,  becomes inappropriate to the purposes of the Contracts, or, if in Our
judgment, investment  in  another  Subaccount  or separate  account  is  in  the
interest  of Owners, We  may substitute another  Subaccount separate account. No
substitution may take place without notice  to Owners and prior approval of  the
SEC and insurance regulatory authorities, to the 1940 Act and applicable law.
 
VOTING RIGHTS
 
    The  Funds do not hold regular meetings  of shareholders. The Directors of a
Fund may call Special Meetings of Shareholders for action by shareholder vote as
may be  required by  the  Investment Company  Act of  1940  or the  Articles  of
Incorporation  of a Fund. In accordance with its view of present applicable law,
the Company will  vote the  shares of  a Fund held  in the  Variable Account  at
special meetings of the shareholders of the Fund in accordance with instructions
received  from persons having  the voting interest in  the Variable Account. The
Company will vote shares for which it has not received instructions from  Owners
and  those shares which  it owns in the  same proportion as  it votes shares for
which it has received instructions from Owners.
 
    The number of shares which a person  has a right to vote will be  determined
as  of a date to be chosen by the Company not more than sixty (60) days prior to
the meeting  of  a  Fund.  Voting instructions  will  be  solicited  by  written
communication  at least  fourteen (14)  days prior  to such  meeting. The person
having such  voting  rights will  be  the Owner  before  the Annuity  Date,  and
thereafter,  the payee entitled  to receive payments  under the Contract. During
the Annuity  Period, voting  rights attributable  to a  Contract will  generally
decrease as the Contract Value attributable to an Annuitant decreases.
 
    The  voting rights relate only to  amounts invested in the Variable Account.
There are  no  voting rights  with  respect to  funds  invested in  the  General
Account.
 
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS TO SUB-ACCOUNTS
 
    Initial  purchase payments are  allocated to the  Sub-account(s) selected by
the Owner  in the  application except  that in  those states  which require  the
Company  to deduct premium taxes upon receipt  of a purchase payment the Company
will deduct the  premium tax prior  to allocating the  purchase payment to  such
Sub-account(s).  The selection  must specify  a percentage  for each Sub-account
that is a whole number, and  must be either 0% or  a number equal to or  greater
than  10%. Subsequent purchase payments under  flexible premium Contracts may be
made at  any time  prior  to the  Annuity  Date and  will  be allocated  to  the
Sub-accounts selected by the Owner. If no selection is made, subsequent purchase
payments  will  be  allocated  to  the  Sub-account(s)  selected  by  the  Owner
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
according to the most recent selection request received at the Company's Office.
At the time of the  allocation the purchase payment is  divided by the value  of
the  Accumulation Unit for  the particular Sub-account  for the Valuation Period
during which  such allocation  occurs to  determine the  number of  Accumulation
Units attributable to the purchase payment.
 
    The  initial purchase  payment under  an IRA plan  will be  allocated to the
Money Market Sub-account until the expiration  of twenty (20) days from the  day
the Contract is mailed from the Company's office. Thereafter, the Contract Value
shall   be  reallocated  in  accordance   with  instructions  specified  in  the
application. In  the case  of flexible  premium Contracts,  subsequent  purchase
payments  will be directly allocated to the Sub-account(s) selected by the Owner
according to the most recent selection request received at the Company's Office.
 
TRANSFER OF CONTRACT VALUES
 
    Before the  Annuity Date,  the Owner  may transfer,  by written  request  or
telephone  authorization,  Contract  Values  from  one  Sub-account  to  another
Sub-account, subject to the following conditions:
 
    (a) the amount transferred from any Sub-account must be at least $1,000  (or
       the entire Sub-account value, if less);
 
    (b)  if less than $1,000 would remain in the Sub-account after the transfer,
       the Company will transfer the entire amount in the Sub-account;
 
    (c) the Company may reject any  more than twelve (12) transfer requests  per
       Contract Year; and
 
    (d) The Company will deduct any transfer charge assessed on the transaction.
 
             The Company is currently not assessing a transfer fee for the first
        twelve (12)  transfers per  Contract Year.  The Company  is assessing  a
        transfer  fee of $10  per transfer thereafter.  The Company may increase
        the transfer  fee to  an amount  not  to exceed  $30 per  transfer.  The
        transfer  fee will be deducted from  either the Sub-account which is the
        source of the  transfer or  from the  amount transferred  if the  entire
        value in the Sub-account is transferred. (See also "Appendix").
 
    Transfer  by telephone is authorized by and described in the application for
the Contract. The Company will  undertake reasonable procedures to confirm  that
instructions  communicated by telephone are genuine. All calls will be recorded.
All transfers performed by telephone authorization will be confirmed in  writing
to  the Owner.  The Company  is not liable  for any  loss, cost,  or expense for
action on telephone instructions which are believed to be genuine in  accordance
with these procedures.
 
    After  the Annuity Date, the payee of  the annuity payments may transfer the
Contract Value allocated to the Variable Account from one Sub-account to another
Sub-account. However, the Company reserves the right to refuse any more than one
transfer per month. The  transfer fee is  the same as  before the Annuity  Date.
This  transfer fee  will be  deducted from  the next  annuity payment  after the
transfer. If  following the  transfer, the  units remaining  in the  Sub-account
would  generate  a monthly  payment  of less  than  $100, then  the  Company may
transfer the entire amount in the Sub-account.
 
    Once the transfer  is effected,  the Company  will recompute  the number  of
Annuity  Units  for  each Sub-account.  The  number  of Annuity  Units  for each
Sub-account will remain the same for the remainder of the payment period  unless
the payee requests another change.
 
                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
    Various  charges  and  deductions  are made  from  Contract  Values  and the
Variable Account. These charges and deductions are as follows:
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
DEDUCTION FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER TAXES
 
    Any premium or other taxes levied by any governmental entity with respect to
the Contracts will be charged against  the purchase payments or Contract  Value.
Premium taxes currently imposed by certain states on the Contracts range from 0%
to  3.5% of premiums paid. Some states assess premium taxes at the time purchase
payments are made;  others assess premium  taxes at the  time of  annuitization.
Premium  taxes are  subject to being  changed or amended  by state legislatures,
administrative interpretations or judicial acts.
 
    The Company will also deduct from any amount payable under the Contracts any
income taxes  a governmental  authority requires  the Company  to withhold  with
respect to that amount.
 
DEDUCTION FOR MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 
    The  Company deducts for each Valuation  Period a Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge which is equal on an annual basis to 1.25% of the average daily net asset
value of the Variable  Account (consisting of  approximately .90% for  mortality
risks  and approximately .35% for expense risks). The mortality risks assumed by
the Company arise from its contractual obligation to make annuity payments after
the Annuity Date  for the life  of the  Annuitant, to waive  the Deferred  Sales
Charge  in the  event of  the death of  the Annuitant  and to  provide the death
benefit prior to the Annuity  Date. The expense risk  assumed by the Company  is
that  the costs  of administering  the Contracts  and the  Variable Account will
exceed the amount received from any Administrative Charge.
 
    If the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is insufficient to cover the actual
costs, the loss will be borne by the Company. Conversely, if the amount deducted
proves more than sufficient, the excess will be profit to the Company.
 
    The Mortality  and Expense  Risk Charge  is guaranteed  by the  Company  and
cannot be increased.
 
    The  Mortality and Expense  Risk Charge is  deducted during the Accumulation
Period and after the Annuity Date.
 
    The Company currently  offers annuity payment  options that are  based on  a
life  contingency. (See "Annuity Period  -- Annuity Options" on  page 19.) It is
possible that in  the future the  Company may offer  additional payment  options
which  are not based on a life contingency.  If this should occur and if a Owner
should elect a payment option not based on a life contingency, the Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge is still deducted but the Owner receives no benefit from it.
 
DEDUCTION FOR DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
    In the  event  that an  Owner  makes a  withdrawal  in excess  of  the  Free
Withdrawal  Amount  for  the  first  withdrawal in  a  Contract  Year,  or makes
subsequent withdrawals in a Contract Year,  other than by way of the  Systematic
Withdrawal  Program (See "Withdrawals --  Systematic Withdrawal Program" on page
22), a Deferred Sales Charge  may be imposed. The  Free Withdrawal Amount for  a
single  premium Contract is  equal to 10% of  the Contract Value  at the time of
withdrawal. The Free Withdrawal Amount  for flexible premium Contracts is  equal
to 10% of the purchase payments paid, less any prior withdrawals, at the time of
withdrawal. In the case of flexible premium Contracts, the Deferred Sales Charge
applies  only to those  purchase payments received  within six (6)  years of the
date of surrender  and will vary  in amount  depending upon the  time which  has
elapsed  since the date on  which the purchase payment  was made. In calculating
the Deferred  Sales  Charge  purchase  payments  are  allocated  to  the  amount
surrendered   on  a   first-in,  first  out   basis.  In  the   case  of  single
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
premium Contracts, the Deferred Sales Charge will vary in amount depending  upon
the  number of Contract Years that a Contract  has been in effect. The amount of
any withdrawal which exceeds the Free  Withdrawal Amount will be subject to  the
following charge:

    The  aggregate Deferred Sales Charges paid  with respect to a Contract shall
not exceed 8.5% of the purchase payments for such Contract.
 
    The Deferred Sales Charge is intended to reimburse the Company for  expenses
incurred  which are related to  Contract sales. The Company  does not expect the
proceeds from the Deferred Sales Charge to cover all distribution costs. To  the
extent  such charge is insufficient to cover all distribution costs, the Company
may use any of its corporate assets, including potential profit which may  arise
from the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, to make up any difference.
 
    Certain  restrictions  on  surrenders  are imposed  on  Contracts  issued in
connection with  retirement plans  which qualify  under Code  Section 403(b)  (a
"403(b) Plan"). (See "Taxes -- 403(b) Plans" on page 27.)
 
DEDUCTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 
    The  Company deducts for each Valuation Period a daily Administrative Charge
which is equal on an annual basis to  .15% of the average daily net asset  value
of  the  Variable Account.  The Company  also  deducts an  annual Administrative
Charge which is currently $30 per year, from the Contract Value. The Company may
increase the annual Administrative  Charge to an amount  not to exceed $100  per
year.  The Administrative Charges are designed  to reimburse the Company for the
costs it  incurs  relating to  maintenance  of  the Contract  and  the  Variable
Account.
 
    The  daily Administrative Charge is  deducted during the Accumulation Period
and after the Annuity Date.
 
    Prior to the Annuity Date, the annual Administrative Charge is deducted from
the Contract Value on each Contract Anniversary.  If the Annuity Date is a  date
other  than  a Contract  Anniversary, the  Company will  also deduct  a pro-rata
portion of the  annual Administrative  Charge from  the Contract  Value for  the
fraction of the Contract Year preceding the Annuity Date.
 
    The annual Administrative Charge is also deducted in full on the date of any
total  withdrawal. The annual  Administrative Charge will  be deducted from each
Sub-account of the  Variable Account in  the proportion that  the value of  each
Sub-account attributable to the Contract bears to the total Contract Value.
 
    After  the Annuity Date,  the annual Administrative Charge  is deducted on a
pro-rata basis from each annuity payment and is guaranteed to remain at the same
amount as at the Annuity Date.
 
DEDUCTION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company deducts from the Contract Value and/or the Variable Account  any
Federal  income taxes resulting from the  operation of the Variable Account. The
Company does not currently anticipate incurring any income taxes.
 
                                       17

OTHER EXPENSES
 
    There  are deductions from and  expenses paid out of  the assets of the Fund
which are described in the accompanying Prospectuses for the Funds.
 
                        ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACTS
 
    While the Company has primary  responsibility for all administration of  the
Contracts  and the  Variable Account, it  has retained the  services of Delaware
Valley  Financial  Services,  Inc.   ("DVFS")  pursuant  to  an   administrative
agreement.  Such administrative services  include issuance of  the Contracts and
maintenance of  Owners' records.  DVFS serves  as the  administrator to  various
insurance companies offering variable contracts.
 
                           RIGHTS UNDER THE CONTRACTS
 
    The  Owner has all rights  and may receive all  benefits under the Contract.
The Owner is named  in the application.  Ownership may be  changed prior to  the
Annuity Date through the submission of written notification of the change to the
Company  on a form acceptable to the Company. On and after the Annuity Date, the
Annuitant and Owner shall be one  in the same person, unless otherwise  provided
for.  In the case of Contracts issued in  connection with an IRA, the Owner must
be the Annuitant.
 
    The Owner's spouse is the only  person eligible to be the Contingent  Owner.
(See  "Death Benefit  -- Death  of the  Owner" on  page 20.)  Any new  choice of
Annuitant or Contingent Owner will automatically revoke any prior choices.
 
    The Owner may, except in  the case of a  Contract issued in connection  with
either an IRA or a 403(b) Plan, assign a Contract at any time before the Annuity
Date  and while the Annuitant  is alive. A copy of  any assignment must be filed
with the  Company.  The Company  is  not responsible  for  the validity  of  any
assignment.  If the Contract is  assigned, the rights of  the Owner and those of
any revocable Beneficiary will be subject to the assignment. An assignment  will
not  affect any payments the Company may make or action it may take before it is
recorded. Inasmuch as  an assignment  or change of  ownership may  be a  taxable
event,  Owners should consult competent tax  advisers should they wish to assign
their Contracts.
 
    The Contract may be modified only with  the consent of the Owner, except  as
may be required by applicable law.
 
                                 ANNUITY PERIOD
 
ANNUITY BENEFITS
 
    If  the Annuitant and Owner are alive  on the Annuity Date, the Company will
begin making payments to the Annuitant  under the annuity option or options  the
Owner has chosen.
 
    The Owner may choose or change an annuity payment option by making a written
request at least thirty (30) days prior to the Annuity Date.
 
    The amount of the payments will be determined by applying the Contract Value
on  the Annuity Date. The amount of the  annuity payments will depend on the age
of the payee at the time the settlement contract is issued. At the Annuity  Date
the Contract Value in each Sub-account will be applied to the applicable annuity
tables contained in the Contract. The amount of the Sub-account annuity payments
are determined through a calculation described in the Section captioned "Annuity
Provisions" in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
ANNUITY DATE
 
    The Annuity Date for the Annuitant is:
 
    (a)  the  first  day  of  the calendar  month  following  the  later  of the
       Annuitant's 85th birthday or the 10th Contract Anniversary; or
 
    (b) such earlier date as may be set by applicable law.
 
    The Owner may designate an earlier date in the application or may change the
Annuity Date by making a written request at least thirty (30) days prior to  the
Annuity Date being changed. However, any Annuity Date must be:
 
    (a) no later than the date defined in (a) above; and
 
    (b) the first day of a calendar month.
 
ANNUITY OPTIONS
 
    The  Owner may choose to receive annuity  payments which are fixed, or which
are based on the  Variable Account, or  a combination of the  two. If the  Owner
elects  annuity payments which are based on  the Variable Account, the amount of
the payments  will be  variable.  The Owner  may  not transfer  Contract  Values
between the General Account and the Variable Account after the Annuity Date, but
may,   subject  to  certain  conditions,   transfer  Contract  Values  from  one
Sub-account to  another Sub-account.  (See "The  Funds --  Transfer of  Contract
Values" on page 15.)
 
    If  the  Owner has  not made  any  annuity payment  option selection  at the
Annuity Date, the  Contract Value  will be applied  to purchase  Option 2  fixed
basis  annuity  payments  and  Option  2  variable  basis  annuity  payments, in
proportion to  the amount  of Contract  Value  in the  General Account  and  the
Variable Account, respectively.
 
THE ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS ARE:
 
    OPTION 1:  LIFE INCOME.  The Company will pay an annuity during the lifetime
of the payee.
 
    OPTION  2:  LIFE INCOME  WITH 10 YEARS OF  PAYMENTS GUARANTEED.  The Company
will pay an annuity during  the lifetime of the payee.  If, at the death of  the
payee, payments have been made for less than 10 years:
 
    (a)  payments will be  continued during the  remainder of the  period to the
       successor payee;
 
    (b) the successor payee may elect to receive in a lump sum the present value
       of the remaining payments, commuted at  the interest rate used to  create
       the annuity factor for this Option; or
 
    (c)  the  guaranteed period  will not  in  the case  of Contracts  issued in
       connection with an IRA exceed the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the
       time the first payment is due.
 
    OPTION 3:  JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR INCOME.  The Company will pay an  annuity
for  as long as either the payee or  a designated second person is alive. In the
event that the Contract  is issued in  connection with an  IRA, the payments  in
this Option will be made only to the Annuitant and the Annuitant's spouse.
 
    The  annuity payment  options are more  fully explained in  the Statement of
Additional Information. The Company may also offer additional options at its own
discretion.
 
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
    If the  Contract Value  applied  to annuity  payment  options is  less  than
$2,000,  the Company has the  right to pay the  amount in a lump  sum in lieu of
annuity payments. The Company makes all other annuity payments monthly. However,
if the total monthly annuity payment would be less than $100 the Company has the
right to make payments semi-annually or annually.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
    If fixed annuity payments are selected, the amount of each fixed payment  is
determined by multiplying the Contract Value allocated to purchase fixed annuity
payments  by the factor shown in the annuity table specified in the Contract for
the option selected, divided by 1,000.
 
    If variable annuity payments are selected, the Annuitant receives the  value
of  a fixed  number of  Annuity Units  each month.  The actual  dollar amount of
variable annuity payments is dependent upon: (i) the Contract Value at the  time
of  annuitization; (ii) the  annuity table specified in  the Contract; (iii) the
Annuity Option  selected; (iv)  the investment  performance of  the  Sub-account
selected; and (v) the pro-rata portion of the annual Administrative charge.
 
    The  annuity tables  contained in  the Contract  are based  on a  5% assumed
investment rate. If  the actual net  investment rate exceeds  5%, payments  will
increase.  Conversely, if the actual rate is less than 5%, annuity payments will
decrease.
 
                                 DEATH BENEFIT
 
    If the Annuitant (or Owner, if applicable) dies before the Annuity Date, the
Company will pay  a death  benefit equal  to the  greater of:  (a) the  purchase
payments  paid less  withdrawals; (b) the  Contract Value; or,  (c) the greatest
Contract Value  at  any  sixth  contract  anniversary  increment  (i.e.,  sixth,
twelfth,  eighteenth, etc.) plus  any additional purchase  payment paid less any
subsequent withdrawals.
 
    Before the Company will pay any death benefit, the Company will require  due
proof  of death. The Company will determine the value of the death benefit as of
the Valuation Period following  receipt of due proof  of death at the  Company's
Office.  The Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary in accordance
with any applicable laws governing the payment of death proceeds.
 
    Payment of the death benefit  may be made in one  lump sum or applied  under
one  of the annuity payment options. (See "Annuity Period -- Annuity Options" on
page 19.) The Owner may  by written request elect that  any death benefit of  at
least  $2,000 be  received by the  Beneficiary under an  annuity payment option.
(See "Annuity Period -- Annuity Options" on  page 19.) If no payment option  had
been selected by the Owner, the Beneficiary has sixty (60) days in which to make
a  written request  to elect either  a lump  sum payment or  any annuity payment
option. Any  lump sum  payment will  be made  within seven  (7) days  after  the
Company  has  received  due proof  of  death  and the  written  election  of the
Beneficiary, unless a delay of payments  provision is in effect. (See  Statement
of Additional Information -- "General Information -- Delay of Payments.")
 
DEATH OF THE OWNER
 
    If  an Owner dies before the Annuity Date, the entire Contract Value must be
distributed within five (5) years of the date of death, unless:
 
    (a) it  is  payable over  the  lifetime  of a  designated  Beneficiary  with
       distributions beginning within one (1) year of the date of death; or
 
    (b)  the Contingent Owner, if any, continues  the Contract in his or her own
       name.
 
    In the  case  of  Contracts issued  in  connection  with an  IRA  plan,  the
Beneficiary  or Contingent  Owner may  elect to  accelerate these  payments. Any
method of acceleration chosen must be approved by the Company.
 
    If the Owner dies after the  Annuity Date, distribution will be as  provided
in the annuity payment option selected.

                             PURCHASING A CONTRACT
 
APPLICATION
 
    In  order to acquire a Contract, an application provided by the Company must
be completed and submitted to the  Company's Office for acceptance. The  Company
must also receive the initial purchase payment. Upon acceptance, the Contract is
issued  to the Owner and  the purchase payment is  then credited to the Variable
Account and converted into Accumulation Units, except in those states where  the
applicable premium tax is deducted from the purchase payment. (See "The Funds --
Allocation  of Purchase Payment to Sub-accounts" on page 14.) If the application
for a Contract is in good order, the Company will apply the purchase payment  to
the  Variable Account and credit the Contract with Accumulation Units within two
(2) business days of  receipt. In addition to  the underwriting requirements  of
the  Company,  good order  means  that the  Company  has received  federal funds
(monies credited to a bank's account with its regional Federal Reserve Bank). If
the application for a Contract is not in good order, the Company will attempt to
get it in good order  within five (5) business days  or the Company will  return
the   application  and  the  purchase  payment,  unless  the  prospective  owner
specifically consents to the Company's  retaining them until the application  is
made complete.
 
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
 
    The  minimum initial purchase payment  is $5,000 for Non-Qualified Contracts
and $2,000 for a Contract purchased in connection with an IRA or 403(b) Plan.
 
    Owners of flexible premium Contracts  may make additional purchase  payments
prior  to the Annuity Date. The  minimum additional purchase payment the Company
will accept is $1,000. The  Company reserves the right  to refuse to accept  any
additional purchase payments.
 
DISCOUNT PURCHASE PROGRAMS
 
    Purchases  made by officers, directors and  employees of either the Company,
an affiliate of the Company or any individual, firm or company that has executed
the necessary agreements  to sell  the Contracts and  members of  each of  their
immediate  families  will not  be  subject to  the  Deferred Sales  Charge. (See
"Charges and Deductions  -- Deduction for  Deferred Sales Charge"  on page  16.)
Such  purchases include retirement accounts and must be for accounts in the name
of the individual or qualifying family member.
 
DISTRIBUTOR
 
    AIG Equity Sales Corp. ("AESC"), 80 Pine Street, New York, New York, acts as
the distributor of the Contracts. AESC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of  American
International Group, Inc. and an affiliate of the Company.
 
    Commissions not to exceed 6% of purchase payments will be paid to registered
representatives  of AESC and other entities which sell the Contracts. Additional
payments may be made for other services not directly related to the sale of  the
Contracts,  including the recruitment  and training of  personnel, production of
promotional literature, and similar services.
 
    Under the Glass-Steagall  Act and other  laws, certain banking  institutions
may  be prohibited from distributing variable  annuity contracts. If a bank were
prohibited  from  performing  certain  agency  or  administrative  services  and
receiving  fees from AESC, Owners who purchased Contracts through the bank would
be permitted to retain their Contracts  and alternate means for servicing  those
Owners  would be sought. It  is not expected, however,  that Owners would suffer
any loss of services  or adverse financial  consequences as a  result of any  of
these occurrences.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
                                 CONTRACT VALUE
 
    The  Contract Value is the sum of  the value of all Sub-account Accumulation
Units attributable to the Contract and amounts contributed to a guarantee period
of the General Account. (See "Appendix"). The value of an Accumulation Unit will
vary from Valuation  Period to Valuation  Period. The value  of an  Accumulation
Unit  is  determined  at  the  end of  the  Valuation  Period  and  reflects the
investment earnings, or loss, and the deductions for the Valuation Period.
 
                                  WITHDRAWALS
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL
 
    The Owner may partially withdraw Contract  Value from the Contract prior  to
the Annuity Date. Any partial withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:
 
    (a) the Company must receive a written request;
 
    (b) the amount requested must be at least $500;
 
    (c) any applicable Deferred Sales Charge will be deducted;
 
    (d)  the amount withdrawn  will be the  sum of the  amount requested and the
       amount of any applicable Deferred Sales Charge; and
 
    (e) the Company  will deduct the  amount requested plus  any Deferred  Sales
       Charge  from each Sub-account of the Variable Account either as specified
       or in the  proportion that the  Sub-account bears to  the total  Contract
       Value.
 
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
 
    During  the Accumulation Period an Owner may at any time elect in writing to
take systematic  withdrawals from  one or  more of  the Sub-accounts  or from  a
guarantee  period of the General Account (See "Appendix-General Account Option")
for a period of time not to exceed 12 months. In order to initiate this program,
the amount to be systematically withdrawn must be equal to or greater than  $200
provided  that the Contract  Value is equal  to or greater  than $24,000 and the
amount to be withdrawn  does not exceed the  Free Withdrawal Amount.  Systematic
withdrawals  will be made  without the imposition of  the Deferred Sales Charge.
Systematic withdrawals may occur monthly or quarterly.
 
    The systematic withdrawal  program may be  canceled at any  time by  written
request  or automatically  should the Contract  Value fall below  $1,000. In the
event the systematic withdrawal program is canceled, the Owner may not elect  to
participate in such program until the next Contract Anniversary.
 
    An  Owner may change once per Contract  Year the amount or frequency subject
to be withdrawn on a systematic basis.
 
    The systematic  withdrawal  program  is  annually  renewable,  although  the
limitations set forth above shall continue to apply.
 
    The  Free Withdrawal  Amount (see "Charges  and Deductions  -- Deduction for
Deferred Sales Charge" on page 16)  and Dollar Cost Averaging (See Statement  of
Additional  Information -- "General Information -- Transfers") are not available
while an Owner is receiving systematic withdrawals. An Owner will be entitled to
the Free Withdrawal Amount and Dollar  Cost Averaging on and after the  Contract
Anniversary next following the termination of the systematic withdrawal program.
 
    Implementation  of the systematic withdrawal program may subject an Owner to
adverse tax  consequences, including  a  10% tax  penalty  tax. (See  "Taxes  --
Taxation  of  Annuities in  General"  on page  23 for  a  discussion of  the tax
consequences of withdrawals.)
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
TOTAL WITHDRAWAL
 
    The Owner may withdraw the entire Contract Value prior to the Annuity  Date.
A total withdrawal will cancel the Contract. The total withdrawal value is equal
to  the Contract Value  next calculated after receipt  of the written withdrawal
request,  less  any   applicable  Deferred   Sales  Charge,   less  the   annual
Administrative  Charge  and less  any applicable  premium  taxes, and,  less any
applicable charges assessed to amounts in the General Account. (See "Charges and
Deductions" on page 15 and "Appendix -- General Account Option".)
 
PAYMENT OF WITHDRAWALS
 
    Any Contract Values  withdrawn will be  sent to the  Owner within seven  (7)
days  of receipt of the written request,  unless the Delay of Payments provision
is in effect. (See Statement  of Additional Information -- "General  Information
- -- Delay of Payments.") (See "Taxes -- Taxation of Annuities in General" on page
23 for a discussion of the tax consequences of withdrawals.)
 
    The Company reserves the right to ensure that an Owner's check or other form
of  purchase  payment  has been  cleared  for  payment prior  to  processing any
withdrawal or redemption request occurring shortly after a purchase payment.
 
    Certain restrictions  on  withdrawals are  imposed  on Contracts  issued  in
connection with 403(b) Plans. (See "Taxes -- 403(b) Plans" on page 27.)
 
                                     TAXES
 
INTRODUCTION
 
    The  Contracts are  designed to  accumulate Contract  Values with retirement
plans which, except for IRAs and  403(b) Plans, are generally not  tax-qualified
plans  ("Qualified Plans"). The  ultimate effect of Federal  income taxes on the
amounts held under a Contract, on annuity payments, and on the economic benefits
to the Owner, Annuitant  or Beneficiary depend on  the Company's tax status  and
upon  the tax  and employment status  of the  individual concerned. Accordingly,
each potential Owner should  consult a competent tax  adviser regarding the  tax
consequences of purchasing a Contract.
 
    The  following discussion is  general in nature  and is not  intended as tax
advice. No attempt is made to consider  any applicable state or other tax  laws.
Moreover,  the  discussion  is based  upon  the Company's  understanding  of the
Federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. No representation  is
made  regarding the likelihood  of continuation of the  Federal income tax laws,
the Treasury Regulations, or the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "Service"). For a discussion of Federal income taxes as they relate
to the Fund, please see the accompanying Prospectus for the Fund.
 
COMPANY TAX STATUS
 
    The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of  Subchapter
L  of the  Internal Revenue  Code of  1986, as  amended (the  "Code"). Since the
Variable Account is not  a separate entity from  the Company and its  operations
form  a part  of the Company,  it will not  be taxed separately  as a "regulated
investment company"  under  Subchapter M  of  the Code.  Investment  income  and
realized  capital gains on the assets of the Variable Account are reinvested and
taken into account  in determining  the Contract Value.  Under existing  Federal
income tax law, the Variable Account's investment income, including realized net
capital  gains, is not taxed  to the Company. The  Company reserves the right to
make a deduction for taxes from the  assets of the Variable Account should  they
be imposed with respect to such items in the future.
 
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL -- NON-QUALIFIED PLANS
 
    Code  Section 72 governs the  taxation of annuities. In  general, a Owner is
not taxed on increases in value under  a Contract until some form of  withdrawal
or   distribution   is  made   under  the   Contract.  However,   under  certain
circumstances, the  increase in  value may  be subject  to tax  currently.  (See
"Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons," and "Diversification Standards".)
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
    WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY DATE
 
    Code  Section 72 provides that a total or partial withdrawal from a Contract
prior to the Annuity Date  will be treated as taxable  income to the extent  the
amounts held under the Contract on the date of withdrawal exceed the "investment
in the contract," as that term is defined under the Code. The "investment in the
contract"  can generally be described as the  cost of the Contract. It generally
constitutes the sum  of all  purchase payments made  for the  contract less  any
amounts  received under  the Contract that  are excluded from  gross income. The
taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income. For purposes of this rule, a pledge
or assignment of a  Contract is treated  as a payment received  on account of  a
partial withdrawal of a Contract.
 
    WITHDRAWALS ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
 
    Upon receipt of a lump sum payment or an annuity payment under the Contract,
the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the investment
in  the Contract. Ordinarily, the taxable portion of payments under the Contract
will be taxed as ordinary income.
 
    For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is generally
determined by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio", which  establishes
the ratio that the investment in the Contract bears to the total expected amount
of  annuity payments for the term of the Contract. That ratio is then applied to
each payment to determine the nontaxable  portion of the payment. The  remaining
portion  of  each payment  is  taxed as  ordinary  income. For  variable annuity
payments, the taxable  portion is determined  by a formula  which establishes  a
specific  dollar amount of each payment that  is not taxed. The dollar amount is
determined by dividing  the investment in  the Contract by  the total number  of
expected  periodic payments. The  remaining portion of each  payment is taxed as
ordinary income.
 
    The Company  is obligated  to  withhold Federal  income taxes  from  certain
payments  unless the recipient elects otherwise. Prior to the first payment, the
Company will notify the payee of the right to elect out of withholding and  will
furnish a form on which the election may be made. The payee must properly notify
the  Company  of that  election  in advance  of the  payment  in order  to avoid
withholding.
 
    PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN WITHDRAWALS
 
    With respect to amounts withdrawn or distributed before the taxpayer reaches
age 59 1/2, a 10% penalty tax is  imposed upon the portion of such amount  which
is  includable  in gross  income. However,  the  penalty tax  will not  apply to
withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the Owner (or where the Owner  is
not  an individual, the death of the  "primary annuitant", who is defined as the
individual, the  events  in  the life  of  whom  are of  primary  importance  in
affecting  the  timing  or  amount  of  the  payout  under  the  Contract); (ii)
attributable to the taxpayer's becoming  totally disabled within the meaning  of
Code  Section 72(m)(7); (iii) which are part  of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
expectancy) of the taxpayer, or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies)  of
the  taxpayer and his beneficiary; (iv)  allocable to investment in the Contract
before August 14, 1982; (v) under a qualified funding asset (as defined in  Code
Section  130(d)); (vi)  under an immediate  annuity contract; or  (vii) that are
purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of qualified plans  and
which are held by the employer until the employee separates from service.
 
    If  the  penalty tax  does not  apply to  a  withdrawal as  a result  of the
application of item  (iii) above, and  the series of  payments are  subsequently
modified  (other than by reason  of death or disability),  the tax for the first
year in which the modification  occurs will be increased  by an amount equal  to
the  tax that  would have been  imposed but  for item (iii)  above as determined
under Treasury Regulations, plus interest for the deferral period. The foregoing
rule applies if the modification takes place: (a) before the close of the period
which is five years from  the date of the first  payment and after the  taxpayer
attains age 59 1/2; or (b) before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
    ASSIGNMENTS
 
    Any assignment or pledge of the Contract as collateral for a loan may result
in  a taxable event and the excess  of the Contract Value over purchase payments
will be  taxed to  the assignor  as  ordinary income.  Please consult  your  tax
adviser prior to making an assignment of the Contract.
 
    DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
 
    In  order  to be  treated  as an  annuity  contract for  Federal  income tax
purposes, a Contract must generally  provide for the following two  distribution
rules: (i) if the Owner dies on or after the Annuity Date, and before the entire
interest  in the  Contract has been  distributed, the remaining  portion of such
interest will be distributed at least as quickly as the method in effect on  the
Owner's  death; and  (ii) if a  Owner dies  before the Annuity  Date, the entire
interest must  generally be  distributed within  five years  after the  date  of
death.  To  the extent  such interest  is payable  to a  designated Beneficiary,
however, such interest may  be annuitized over the  life of that Beneficiary  or
over  a period not extending beyond the  life expectancy of that Beneficiary, so
long as distributions commence within one year  after the date of death. If  the
Beneficiary  is the spouse of the Owner, the Contract may be continued unchanged
in the name of the spouse as Owner.
 
    If the Owner is not an individual, the "primary annuitant" (as defined under
the Code)  is considered  the  Owner. In  addition, when  the  Owner is  not  an
individual,  a change in  the primary annuitant  is treated as  the death of the
Owner.
 
    GIFTS OF CONTRACTS
 
    Any transfer of a Contract prior to the Annuity Date for less than full  and
adequate  consideration will generally trigger tax  on the gain in the Contract.
The transferee will receive a  step-up in basis for  the amount included in  the
transferor's  income. This provision, however, does not apply to those transfers
between spouses or  incident to  a divorce which  are governed  by Code  Section
1041(a).
 
    CONTRACTS OWNED BY NON-NATURAL PERSONS
 
    If  the Contract is held by a non-natural person (for example, a corporation
or trust)  the Contract  is generally  not treated  as an  annuity contract  for
Federal  income  tax purposes,  and the  income on  the Contract  (generally the
excess of the Contract Value over the purchase payments) is includable in income
each year. The  rule does not  apply where  the non-natural person  is only  the
nominal  owner such as a trust or other  entity acting as an agent for a natural
person. The rule also does not apply when the Contract is acquired by the estate
of a decedent, when the Contract is held under certain qualified plans, when the
Contract is  a qualified  funding  asset for  structured settlements,  when  the
Contract  is purchased on behalf of an  employee upon termination of a qualified
plan, and in the case of an immediate annuity.
 
    SECTION 1035 EXCHANGES
 
    Code Section 1035 provides that no gain  or loss shall be recognized on  the
exchange  of an  annuity contract  for another  annuity contract.  A replacement
contract obtained in a tax-free exchange of contracts succeeds to the status  of
the  surrendered contract.  Special rules and  procedures apply  to Code Section
1035 transactions. Prospective owners wishing to take advantage of Code  Section
1035 should consult their tax advisers.
 
    MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
 
    Annuity  contracts that are issued by the same company (or affiliate) to the
same Owner during any calendar year will  be treated as one annuity contract  in
determining  the amount  includable in  the taxpayer's  gross income.  Thus, any
amount received under any such contract prior to the contract's annuity starting
date will be taxable (and possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent
of the combined income in all such contracts. The Treasury has broad  regulatory
authority  to prevent avoidance of the purposes  of this aggregation rule. It is
possible that, under  this authority, Treasury  may apply this  rule to  amounts
that  are  paid as  annuities  (on or  after  the starting  date)  under annuity
contracts issued by the same company to the same Owner during any calendar  year
period.  In this  case, annuity  payments could  be fully  taxable (and possibly
subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
extent of the combined  income in all such  contracts and regardless of  whether
any amount would otherwise have been excluded from income. Owners should consult
a  tax  adviser  before  purchasing  more than  one  Contract  or  other annuity
contracts.
 
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
 
    To comply  with  the  diversification  regulations  promulgated  under  Code
Section  817(h) (the  "Diversification Regulations"),  after a  start-up period,
each Sub-account is required to  diversify its investments. The  Diversification
Regulations generally require that on the last day of each quarter of a calendar
year no more than 55% of the value of the assets of a Sub-account is represented
by  any one investment, no more than  70% is represented by any two investments,
no more than 80% is represented by  any three investments, and no more than  90%
is represented by any four investments. A "look-through" rule applies so that an
investment  in a  Fund is  not treated as  one investment  but is  treated as an
investment in a  pro-rata portion  of each underlying  asset of  such Fund.  All
securities of the same issuer are treated as a single investment. In the case of
government securities, each Government agency or instrumentality is treated as a
separate issuer.
 
    In connection with the issuance of the proposed and temporary version of the
Diversification  Regulations, Treasury  announced that  such regulations  do not
provide guidance  concerning  the  extent  to  which  Owners  may  direct  their
investments  to particular divisions of a  separate account. It is possible that
if and  when  additional  regulations  or IRS  pronouncements  are  issued,  the
Contract  may need to be modified to  comply with such rules. For these reasons,
the Company reserves the right to modify the Contract, as necessary, to  prevent
the Owner from being considered the owner of the assets of the Variable Account.
 
    The Company intends to comply with the Diversification Regulations to assure
that  the  Contracts continue  to be  treated as  annuity contracts  for Federal
income tax purposes.
 
QUALIFIED PLANS
 
    The Contracts may be used to create an IRA. The Contracts are also available
for use in connection with a  previously established 403(b) Plan. No attempt  is
made  herein  to provide  more than  general  information about  the use  of the
Contracts with IRAs or 403(b) Plans.  The information herein is not intended  as
tax advice. A prospective Owner considering use of the Contract to create an IRA
or in connection with a 403(b) Plan should first consult a competent tax adviser
with  regard to  the suitability  of the Contract  as an  investment vehicle for
their qualified plan.
 
    While the Contract will not be available in connection with retirement plans
designed by the Company which qualify  for the federal tax advantages  available
under Sections 401 and 457 of the Code, a Contract can be used as the investment
medium  for an  individual Owner's  separately qualified  retirement plan. Under
amendments to  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  which  became  effective  in  1993,
distributions  from  a  qualified  plan  (other  than  non-taxable distributions
representing a return of capital, distributions meeting the minimum distribution
requirement, distributions for the life  or life expectancy of the  recipient(s)
or distributions that are made over a period of more than 10 years) are eligible
for  tax-free rollover within 60 days of  the date of distribution, but are also
subject to federal income tax withholding at a 20% rate unless paid directly  to
another qualified plan. If the recipient is unable to take full advantage of the
tax-free rollover provisions, there may be taxable income, and the imposition of
a  10%  penalty  if the  recipient  is under  age  59 1/2.  A  prospective Owner
considering use of the  Contract in this manner  should consult a competent  tax
adviser  with regard to the suitability of the Contract for this purpose and for
information concerning the provisions of the Code applicable to qualified plans.
 
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
 
    Section 408 of  the Code permits  eligible individuals to  contribute to  an
IRA.  Contracts issued in connection  with an IRA are  subject to limitations on
eligibility, maximum contributions, and time of distribution. Distributions from
certain  retirement  plans  qualifying  for   federal  tax  advantages  may   be
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
rolled over into an IRA. Sales of the Contracts for use with IRAs are subject to
special  requirements  imposed by  the Service,  including the  requirement that
informational disclosure be given to each  person desiring to establish an  IRA.
The IRAs offered by this Prospectus are not available in all states.
 
403(B) PLANS
 
    Code  Section 403(b)(11) imposes certain  restrictions on an Owner's ability
to make partial withdrawals from Code Section 403(b) Contracts, if  attributable
to purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement. Specifically, Code
Section  403(b)(11) allows  an Owner to  make a surrender  or partial withdrawal
only (a) when the employee attains age 59 1/2, separates from service, dies,  or
becomes  disabled (as defined in  the Code), or (b) in  the case of hardship. In
the case of  hardship, only  an amount  equal to  the purchase  payments may  be
withdrawn.  In addition, under Code Section 403(b) the employer must comply with
certain non-discrimination requirements. Owners  should consult their  employers
to determine whether the employer has complied with these rules. The 403(b) Plan
offered by this Prospectus is not available in all states.

GENERAL ACCOUNT OPTION
 
    Under  the General Account option, Contract Values are held in the Company's
General Account. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests  in
the  General Account have not  been registered under the  Securities Act of 1933
nor is  the  General Account  registered  as  an investment  company  under  the
Investment  Company Act of 1940.  The Company understands that  the staff of the
Securities and  Exchange Commission  has not  reviewed the  disclosures in  this
Prospectus  relating to the General Account portion of the Contract. Disclosures
regarding the  General Account  may, however,  be subject  to certain  generally
applicable  provisions of the  federal securities laws  relating to the accuracy
and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. The General Account  option
is not available in all states.
 
    During the Accumulation Period the Owner may allocate amounts to the General
Account.  The General Account is  an account maintained by  us into which all of
our assets have been allocated other than the assets of the Variable Account and
any other separate accounts  we maintain. The initial  Purchase Payment will  be
invested  in the General  Account in accordance  with the selection  made by the
Owner in the application. In the case of flexible premium Contracts,  additional
Purchase  Payments will be  allocated to General Account  in accordance with the
selection made by  the Owner  in the application  or the  most recent  selection
received  at the Company Office, unless otherwise specified by the Owner. If the
Owner elects  to withdraw  amounts  from the  General Account  such  withdrawal,
except  as otherwise  provided in  this Appendix,  will be  subject to  the same
conditions as  imposed on  withdrawals from  the Variable  Account. The  Company
reserves  the right to delay any payment from  the General Account for up to six
(6) months from the date it receives such request at its Office.
 
INVESTMENTS IN THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
 
    An allocation of  the initial Purchase  Payment to a  guarantee period  must
equal  the greater  of (a) or  (b) where:  (a) is a  percentage that  is a whole
number, equal to or greater than 10% and  (b) is a dollar amount which is  equal
to  or greater than $3,000. Subsequent  Purchase Payments under flexible premium
Contracts allocated  to a  guarantee period  must be  equal to  or greater  than
$3,000.  Amounts invested in the General Account are credited with interest on a
daily basis  at the  then  applicable effective  guarantee rate.  The  effective
guarantee  rate is  that rate  in effect when  the Owner  allocates or transfers
amounts to  the General  Account.  If the  Owner  has allocated  or  transferred
amounts  at different times to the  General Account, each allocation or transfer
may have a  unique effect guarantee  rate and guarantee  period associated  with
that  amount. We guarantee that the effective guarantee rate will not be changed
more than once per year and will not be less than 3%.
 
GENERAL ACCOUNT TRANSFERS
 
    Prior  to  the  end  of  a  guarantee  period  the  Owner  may  specify  the
sub-account(s) of the Variable Account or the applicable guarantee period of the
General  Account to which the  Owner wants the amounts  from the General Account
transferred at the end of the guarantee period. If the Owner does not notify  us
prior  to the end  of the guarantee period,  we will apply that  amount to a new
guarantee period  in the  General Account,  which is  then subject  to the  same
conditions  as the original  guarantee period, including  the condition that the
amount cannot be transferred out  of the General Account  until the end of  that
guarantee  period. The effective guarantee rate  applicable to the new guarantee
period may be  different from  the effective  guarantee rate  applicable to  the
original  guarantee period. These transfers will be  handled at no charge to the
Owner.
 
    During the Accumulation Period the Owner may transfer, by written request or
telephone authorization,  Contract Values  from a  sub-account of  the  Variable
Account to a guarantee period of the General Account at any time, subject to the
conditions  set  out under  Transfer of  Contract  Values Section.  For flexible
premium contracts, transfers from a guarantee period of the General Account to a
sub-account of the Variable Account may be made at any time. For single  premium
contracts, transfers from the General Account are allowed only at the end of the
guarantee period.

<PAGE>
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
 
    A  transfer, withdrawal,  payment of  a death  benefit, or  annuitization of
amounts allocated to the General Account  of a flexible premium contract may  be
subject  to  a Market  Value  Adjustment which  will  be applied  to  the amount
transferred, withdrawn, paid or annuitized. The Market Value Adjustment is  made
by  multiplying the amount  to be transferred, withdrawn,  paid or annuitized by
the following formula:
 
    1 + .75 X (A-B) X [N/12], where:
 
<TABLE>
<S>        <C>        <C>
A          =          The Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to  the guarantee period of that  portion
                      of proceeds being transferred, withdrawn, paid or annuitized.
B          =          The Guaranteed Interest Rate currently available for the same length of guarantee
                      period  as that remaining  in the period  applicable to that  portion of proceeds
                      being transferred, withdrawn,  paid or  annuitized. If no  such guarantee  period
                      exists,  the  Guaranteed  Interest  Rate  will  be  calculated  by  straight line
                      interpolation of the Guaranteed Interest Rates of available guarantee periods.
N          =          The number of complete and partial months  remaining to the end of the  guarantee
                      period  applicable to that portion of proceeds being transferred, withdrawn, paid
                      or annuitized.
</TABLE>
 
GUARANTEE PERIODS
 
    The period(s) for which a guaranteed interest rate is credited is called the
Guarantee Period. Guarantee Periods may be offered or withdrawn at the Company's
discretion. The  initial  Guarantee  Period(s)  and  the  applicable  guaranteed
interest  rate(s) applicable to the initial Purchase  Payment is as shown on the
application, unless such  purchase payment  is made under  an IRA  plan. At  the
expiration  of  any Guarantee  Period  applicable to  all  or a  portion  of the
Contract Value, that portion of the Contract Value will be automatically renewed
for another Guarantee  Period for  the same  duration as  the expired  guarantee
period  and will receive  the guaranteed interest  rate then in  effect for that
Guarantee Period. All requests to change a Guarantee Period must be received  in
writing  at the Company's Office no earlier than 30 days prior to the end of the
Guarantee Period from which the transfer will be made. Single premium  contracts
have only the one year Guarantee Period available.
 
MINIMUM SURRENDER VALUE
 
    The  Minimum Surrender Value for amounts  allocated to a guarantee period of
the General Account equals  the amounts allocated to  a Guarantee Period of  the
General Account paid (less withdrawals) with interest compounded annually at the
rate of 3%, reduced by any applicable Deferred Sales Charge.

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION

    A.   Yield and Effective Yield Quotations for the Money Market Sub-account

         The yield quotation for the Money Market Sub-account to be set forth
in the Prospectus will be for a given seven day period, and will be computed by
determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one Accumulation Unit in
the Money Market Sub-account at the beginning of the period, subtracting a
hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Owner accounts, and dividing the
difference by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to
obtain the base period return, and multiplying the base period return by (365/7)
with the resulting figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one
percent.

         Any effective yield quotation for the Money Market Sub-account to be
set forth in the Prospectus will be for a given seven day period, carried at
least to the nearest hundredth of one percent, and will be computed by
determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one Accumulation Unit in
the Money Market Sub-account at the beginning of the period, subtracting a
hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Owner accounts, and dividing the
difference by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to
obtain the base period return, and then compounding the base period return by
adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7 and subtracting 1
from the result, according to the following formula:

                                        B - 3

<PAGE>


    EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1) 365/7]-1.

    For purposes of the yield and effective yield computations, the
hypothetical charge reflects all deductions that are charged to all Owner
accounts in proportion to the length of the base period.  For any fees that vary
with the size of the account, the account size is assumed to be the Money Market
Sub-account's mean account size.  The yield and effective yield quotations do
not reflect the Deferred Sales Charge that may be assessed at the time of
withdrawal in an amount ranging up to 6% of the requested withdrawl amount. 
(See "Charges and Deductions - Deduction for Deferred Sales Charge" on page 16
of the Prospectus) No deductions or sales loads are assessed upon 
annuitization under the Contracts.  Realized gains and losses from the sale 
of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Money 
Market Sub-account and the Fund are excluded from the calculation of yield.

    B.   Standardized Total Return Quotations

    The  standardized total return quotations for all of the Sub-accounts will
be average annual total return quotations for the one, five, and ten year
periods (or, where a Sub-account has been in existence for a period of less than
one, five or ten years, for such lesser period) ended on a given date, and for
the period from the date monies were first placed into the Sub-accounts until
the aforesaid date.  The quotations are computed by finding the average annual
compounded rates of return over the relevant periods that would equate the
initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value, according to the
following formula:

                                n
                         P(1+T)   = ERV

    Where:    P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

              T = average annual total return

              n = number of years

              ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
              payment made at the beginning of the particular
              period at the end of the particular period.

    For the purposes of the total return quotations for all of the
Sub-accounts, the calculations take into effect all fees that are charged to all
Owner accounts.  For any fees that vary with the size of the account, the
account size is assumed to be the respective Sub-account's mean account size.
The calculations also assume a total withdrawal as of the end of the particular
period.

    No standardized or non-standardized total return quotations have been
provided for the Zero Coupon 2000, Dreyfus Stock Index, Money Market, Growth,
Overseas, Asset Manager, Investment Grade Bond, High Income, Worldwide Balance,
Gold and Natural Resources, Short-Term Retirement, Medium-Term Retirement or
Long-Term Retirement Portfolios, because, for the fiscal year ending December
31, 1995, such Portfolios were not yet in operation.

    Annualized total return for certain Sub-accounts as of December 31, 1995,
were as follows:

Growth Investors             13.36%           N/A                  4.38%
Growth                       27.91%           N/A                 20.57%

    C.   Yield Quotations for the Short-Term Multi-Market, U.S. Government/High
         Grade Securities and Global Bond Sub-accounts

         The yield quotations for the Short-Term Multi-Market, U.S.
Government/High Grade Securities and Global Bond Sub-accounts will be based on a
thirty-day period. The computation is made by dividing the net investment income
per Accumulation Unit earned during the period by the Unit Value on the last day
of the period, according to the following formula:

         Where:         a =  net investment income earned during the period by
                             the corresponding Portfolio attributable to shares
                             owned by the corresponding Sub-account.

                        b =  expenses accrued for the period (net of
                             reimbursements).

                        c =  the average daily number of Accumulation Units
                             outstanding during the period.

                        d =  the maximum Unit Value on the last day of the

         For the purposes of the yield quotations for the Sub-accounts, the
calculations take into effect all fees that are charged to all Owner accounts.
For any fees that vary with the size of the account, the account size is assumed
to be the respective Sub-account's mean account size.  The calculations do not
take into account the Deferred Sales Charge or any transfer charges.

         A Deferred Sales Charge may be assessed at the time of withdrawal in
ranging up to 6% of the requested withdrawl amount. (See "Charges and 
Deductions -Deduction for Deferred Sales Charge" on page 16 of the 
Prospectus) There is currently a transfer charge of $10 per transfer after a 
specified number of transfers in each Contract Year.  (See Transfer of 
Contract Values" on page 15 of the Prospectus)

     D.   Non - Standardized Performance Data

         1.   Non-Standardized Total Return Quotations

         The non-standardized total return quotations for all of the
Sub-accounts to be set forth in the Prospectus will be average annual total
return quotations for the one, five, and ten year periods (or, where a
Sub-account has been in existence for a period of less than one, five or ten
years, for such lesser period), ended on a given date for the period from the
date monies were first placed into the Sub-accounts until the aforesaid date.
The quotations are computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of
return over the relevant periods that would equate the initial amount invested
to the ending redeemable value, according to the following formula:

                                      n
                                P(1+T)  = ERV

              Where:    P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

                        T = average annual total return

                        n = number of years

                        ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
                             payment made at the beginning of the particular
                             period at the end of the particular period.

         For the purposes of the total return quotations, the calculations take
into effect all fees that are charged to all Owner accounts.  For any fees that
vary with the size of the account, the account size is assumed to be the
respective  Sub-account's mean account size.  The calculations do not, however,
assume a total withdrawal as of the end of the particular period and therefore,
no Surrender Charge is reflected.

    Annualized total return quotations for certain Sub-accounts as of December
31, 1995, were as follows:

                             One Year       Three Years    Inception to Date

Conservative Investors       15.51%              N/A            11.46%
Growth Investors             18.82%              N/A            11.82%
Growth                       33.37%              N/A            27.65%
Growth and Income            33.90%              13.16%         13.69%


         2.   Tax Deferred Accumulation

    In reports or other communications to You or in advertising or sales
materials, the Company may also describe the effects of tax-deferred compounding
on the Variable Account's investment returns or upon returns in general.  These
effects may be illustrated in charts or graphs and may include comparisons at
various points in time of returns under the Contract or in general on a tax-
deferred basis with the returns on a taxable basis.  Different tax rates may be
assumed.

                                        B - 7

<PAGE>

    In general, individuals who own annuity contracts are not taxed on increases
in the value under the annuity contract until some form of distribution is made
from the contract.  Thus, the annuity contract will benefit from tax deferral
during the accumulation period, which generally will have the effect of
permitting an investment in an annuity contract to grow more rapidly than a
comparable investment under which increases in value are taxed on a current
basis.  The following chart illustrates this benefit by comparing accumulation
under the Contract with accumulations from an investment on which gains are
taxed on a current basis.  The chart shows accumulations on an initial
investment or Purchase Payment of $25,000, assuming hypothetical gross annual
return of 0%, 4% and 8%, compounded annually, and a tax rate of 31%.  The values
shown for the taxable investment do not include any deduction for management
fees or other expenses but assume that taxes are deducted annually from
investment returns.  The values shown for the Contract reflect the deduction of
contractual expenses such as the 1.25% mortality and expense risk charge, the
0.15% Administrative Charge and the $30 Contract Maintenance Charge, but not the
expenses of an underlying investment vehicle.  In addition, these values assume
that the Owner does not surrender the Contract or make any withdrawals until the
end of the period shown.  The chart assumes a full withdrawal, at the end of the
period shown, of all contract value and the payment of taxes at the 31% rate on
the amount in excess of the Purchase Payment.

    The rates of return illustrated are hypothetical and are not an estimate or
guaranty of performance.  Actual tax rates may vary for different taxpayers from
that illustrated and withdrawals by Owners who have not reached age 59 1/2 may
be subject to a tax penalty of 10%.

DELAY OF PAYMENTS

         Any payments due under the Contracts will generally be sent to the
Owner within seven (7) days of a completed request for payment.  However, the
Company has reserved the right to postpone any type of payment from the Variable
Account for any period when:

              (a)   the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than
         customary weekends and holidays;

              (b)   trading on the Exchange is restricted;

              (c)   an emergency exists as a result of which it is not
         reasonably practicable to dispose of securities held in the Variable
         Account or determine their value; or

              (d)   an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission permits
         delay for the protection of security holders.

         The applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission shall
govern as to whether the conditions in (b) and (c) exists.

TRANSFERS

         An Owner may deposit prior to the Annuity Date, all or part of his
Contract Value into the Money Market Sub-account (the Sending Sub-account"), and
then automatically transfer those assets into one or more of the other Sub-
accounts on a systematic basis.  The amount transferred to the Sending Sub-
account must be at least $12,000 in order to initiate this option.  This process
is called Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging.

         The Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging option is available for use with
any of the investment options, other than the General Account.

         Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging transfers may occur monthly or
quarterly.  The Owner may designate the dollar amount to be transferred each
month or elect to have a percentage transferred each month, up to a maximum of
60 months.

         The Company will make all Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging transfers on
the 15th calendar day of each month, or the next day the New York Stock Exchange
is open for business if the 15th calendar day of the month should fall on a day
the New York Stock Exchange is closed.  In order to process an Automatic Dollar
Cost Averaging transfer, the Company must have received a request in writing by
no later than the 6th calendar day of the month.

         The Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging option may be canceled at any time
by written request or automatically if the value of the Sending Sub-account
subject to the Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging option is less than $1,000.

                                        B - 9

<PAGE>

         An Owner may change his Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging investment
allocation only once during any 12 month period.

         Any transfers made under this section are subject to the conditions of
the section entitled "Transfer of Contract Values" on page __ of the Prospectus,
except that the Company will not deem the election of the Automatic Dollar Cost
Averaging option to count towards a Owner's twelve (12) free transfers.


                        METHOD OF DETERMINING CONTRACT VALUES

         The Contract Value will fluctuate in accordance with the investment
results of the underlying Portfolio  within the Sub-account.  In order to
determine how these fluctuations affect Contract Values, Accumulation Units are
utilized.  The value of an Accumulation Unit applicable during any Valuation
Period is determined at the end of that period.

         When the first shares of the respective Portfolios were purchased for
the Sub-accounts, the Accumulation Units for the Sub-accounts were valued at
$10.  The value of an Accumulation Unit for a Sub-account on any Valuation Date
thereafter is determined by dividing (a) by (b), where:

         (a)  is equal to:

               (i)  the total value of the net assets attributable to
              Accumulation Units in the Sub-account, minus

              (ii)  the daily charge for assuming the risk of guaranteeing
              mortality factors and expense charges which is equal on an annual
              basis to 1.25% multiplied by the daily net asset value of the
              Sub-account; minus

              (iii)  the daily charge for providing certain administrative
              functions which is equal on an annual basis to 0.15% multiplied
              by the daily net asset value of the Sub-account; minus or plus

              (iv) a charge or credit for any tax provision established for the
              Sub-account.  The Company is not currently making any provision
              for taxes.

         (b)  is the total number of Accumulation Units applicable to that
         Sub-account at the end of the Valuation Period.

         The resulting value of each Sub-account Accumulation Unit is
multiplied by the respective number of Sub-account Accumulation Units for a
Contract.  The Contract Value is the sum of all Sub-account values for the
Contract.

         An Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease in value from Valuation
Date to Valuation Date.

                                  ANNUITY PROVISIONS

ANNUITY BENEFITS

         If the Annuitant is alive on the Annuity Date the Company will begin
making payments to the Annuitant under the payment option or options selected.
The amount of the annuity payments will depend on the age of the payee at the
time the settlement contract is issued.

ANNUITY OPTIONS

         The annuity options are as follows:

         Option 1:  Life Income.  The Company will pay an annuity during the
         lifetime of the payee.

         Option 2:  Income with 10 Years of Payments Guaranteed.  The Company
         will pay an annuity during the lifetime of the payee.  If, at the
         death of the payee, payments have been made for less than 10 years:

              (a)  payments will be continued during the remainder of the
              period to the successor payee; or

              (b)  the successor payee may elect to receive in a lump sum the
              present value of the remaining payments, commuted at the interest
              rate used to create the annuity factor for this Option.

         Option 3:  Joint and Last Survivor Income.  The Company will pay an
         annuity for as long as either payee or a designated second person is
         alive.

         Annuity options are available on a fixed and/or a variable basis.  The
Owner may allocate Contract Values to purchase only fixed annuity payments, or
to purchase only variable annuity payments, or to purchase a combination of the
two.  Contract Values which purchase fixed annuity payments will be invested in
the General Account.  Contract Values which purchase variable annuity payments
will be invested in the Variable Account.  The Owner may make no transfers
between the General Account and the Variable Account after the Annuity Date.
The Company also may offer additional options at its discretion.

VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT VALUES

         A Variable Annuity is an annuity with payments which (1) are not
predetermined as to dollar amount and (2) will vary in amount with the net
investment results of the applicable Sub-account(s) of the Variable Account.  At
the Annuity Date the Contract Value in each Sub-account will be applied to the
applicable Annuity Tables contained in the Contract.  The Annuity Table used
will depend upon the payment option chosen.  The same Contract Value amount
applied to each payment option may produce a different initial annuity payment.
If, as of the Annuity Date, the then current annuity rates applicable to  this
class of contracts will provide a larger income than that guaranteed for the
same form of annuity under the Contracts described herein, the larger amount
will be paid.

                                        B - 11

<PAGE>

         The first annuity payment for each Sub-account is determined by
multiplying the amount of the Contract Value allocated to that Sub-account by
the factor shown in the table for the option selected, divided by 1000.

         The dollar amount of Sub-account annuity payments after the first is
determined as follows:

              (a)  The dollar amount of the first annuity payment is divided by
              the value for the Sub-account Annuity Unit as of the Annuity
              Date.  This establishes the number of Annuity Units for each
              monthly payment.  The number of Annuity Units remains fixed
              during the Annuity payment period, subject to any transfers.

              (b)  The fixed number of Annuity Units is multiplied by the
              Annuity Unit value for the Valuation Period 14 days prior to the
              date of payment.

         The total dollar amount of each Variable Annuity payment is the sum of
all Sub-account variable annuity payments less the pro-rata amount of the annual
Administrative Charge.

ANNUITY UNIT

         The value of an Annuity Unit for each Sub-account was arbitrarily set
initially at $10.  This was done when the first Portfolio shares were purchased.
The Sub-account Annuity Unit value at the end of any subsequent Valuation Period
is determined by multiplying the Sub-account Annuity Unit value for the
immediately preceding Valuation Period by the quotient of (a) and (b) where:

              (a)  is the net investment factor for the Valuation Period for
              which the Sub-account Annuity Unit value is being determined; and

              (b)  is the assumed investment factor for such Valuation Period.
              The assumed investment factor adjusts for the interest assumed in
              determining the first variable annuity payment.  Such factor for
              any Valuation Period shall be the accumulated value, at the end
              of such period, of $1.00 deposited at the beginning of such
              period at the assumed investment rate of 5%.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

         The net investment factor is used to determine how investment results
of the Fund affect Variable Account Values within the Sub-accounts from one
Valuation Period to the next.  The net investment factor for each Sub-account
for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting
(c) from the result, where:

         (a) is equal to:

              (i)  the net asset value per share of the Portfolio held in the
         Sub-account determined at the end of that Valuation Period; plus

              (ii)  the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain
         distribution made to the Portfolio if the "ex-dividend" date occurs
         during that same Valuation Period; plus or minus


                                        B - 12
<PAGE>


              (iii)  a per share charge or credit, which is determined by the
         Company, for changes in tax reserves resulting from investment
         operations of the Sub-account.

         (b) is equal to:

              (i)  the net asset value per share of the Portfolio held in the
         Sub-account determined as of the end of the prior Valuation Period;
         plus or minus


              (ii)  the per share charge or credit for any change in tax
         reserves for the prior Valuation Period.

         (c) is equal to:

              (i)  the percentage factor representing the Mortality and Expense
         Risk Charge, plus

              (ii)  the percentage factor representing the daily Administrative
         Charge.

The net investment factor may be greater or less than the assumed investment
factor; therefore, the Annuity Unit value may increase or decrease from
Valuation Period to Valuation

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

         The Company may require proof of the age of the Annuitant before
making any life annuity payment provided for by the Contract.  If the age of the
Annuitant has been misstated the Company will compute the amount payable based
on the correct age.  If annuity payments have begun, any underpayments that may
have been made will be paid in full with the next annuity payment.  Any
overpayments, unless repaid to the Company in one sum, will be deducted from
future annuity payments until the Company is repaid in full.

         If a Contract provision requires that a person be alive, the Company
may require due proof that the person is alive before the Company acts under
that provision.

         The Company will give the payee under an annuity payment option a
settlement contract for the payment option.

<PAGE>
                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
AIG Life Insurance Company:
 
    We  have  audited  the accompanying  balance  sheets of  AIG  Life Insurance
Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc.) as  of
December  31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of  the three years in the period ended  December
31,  1995. These  financial statements are  the responsibility  of the Company's
management. Our  responsibility is  to  express an  opinion on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.
 
    We  conducted  our audits  in  accordance with  generally  accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In  our opinion, the financial statements  referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial  position of AIG Life Insurance  Company
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows  for each  of the three  years in the  period ended December  31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
    As discussed in Note 1 (h) to the financial statements, the Company  changed
in  1993, its  method of  accounting for  investments in  certain fixed maturity
securities.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    (a)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  AIG  Life Insurance Company (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 and health insurance in the District of Columbia and all
states except for Maine and New York.
 
    The Company  also files  financial statements  prepared in  accordance  with
statutory  practices prescribed or permitted by  the Insurance Department of the
State of Delaware.  Financial statements prepared  in accordance with  generally
accepted  accounting principles  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  market value. Included  in fixed maturities available
for sale are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). Premiums and  discounts
arising  from the purchase  of CMO's are  treated as yield  adjustments over the
estimated life. Common and non-redeemable preferred stocks are carried at market
value. 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 in  stockholders' equity,  net of
amounts recorded  as future  policy  benefits and  any related  deferred  income
taxes.
 
    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.
 
    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.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    Other invested  assets consist  primarily of  limited partnership  interests
which  are  carried  at  market  value. Unrealized  gains  and  losses  from the
revaluation of these investments are  reflected in stockholders' equity, net  of
any  related  taxes. Also  included in  this  category is  an interest  rate cap
agreement, which is carried at its amortized cost. The cost of the cap is  being
amortized  against investment income on  a straight line basis  over the life of
the cap.
 
    (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 on
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.
 
    (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.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    (h)  ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
 
    In March  1995,  the  Financial Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121  "Accounting  for  the
Impairment of Long-lived  Assets and for  Long-lived Assets to  Be Disposed  Of"
(FASB   121).  This  statement  requires  that  long-lived  assets  and  certain
identifiable intangibles be reviewed for  impairment whenever events or  changes
in  circumstances  indicate that  the carrying  amount  of an  asset may  not be
recoverable and an impairment loss must be recognized.
 
    FASB 121  is effective  for  the Company  commencing  January 1,  1996.  The
Company  believes  that the  adoption of  this  statement in  1996 will  have an
immaterial  impact  on  the  results  of  operations,  financial  condition  and
liquidity.
 
    In December 1995, FASB issued "Special Report, a Guide to the Implementation
of  Statement No. 115 on  Accounting for Certain Investments  in Debt and Equity
Securities". Among other things, this guide provided for a transition  provision
permitting  a one-time  transfer of  debt securities  from the  held to maturity
classification to the  available for  sale classification. The  Company did  not
transfer  any  securities  from  the  held  to  maturity  classification  to the
available for sale classification.
 
    In 1994,  the American  Institute of  Certified Public  Accountants  (AICPA)
issued  a Statement  of Position (SOP)  94-6 "Disclosure  of Certain Significant
Risks and Uncertainties" (SOP 94-6). Pursuant to SOP 94-6, the Company has  made
certain  disclosures as to the  use of estimates in  the preparation of its 1995
financial statements.  Certain  other  disclosures were  not  necessary  as  the
Company did not meet the required criteria.
 
    In November of 1992, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FASB 112). FASB 112
established accounting standards for employers who provide benefits to former or
inactive  employees after employment but before retirement. FASB 112 was adopted
effective January  1, 1994,  and  had no  significant  effect on  the  Company's
results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
    In October 1994, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
118  "Accounting by  Creditors for Impairment  of a  Loan-Income Recognition and
Disclosures" (FASB 118). FASB  118 amends FASB  114 to allow  a creditor to  use
existing methods to recognize interest income on an impaired loan. FASB 118 also
amends certain disclosure requirements of FASB 114. The Company adopted FASB 114
and  118 effective December 31,  1994. The adoption of  these statements did not
cause any significant impact on  the Company's results of operations,  financial
condition or liquidity.
 
    In October 1994, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
119  "Disclosure  about  Derivative  Financial  Instruments  and  Fair  Value of
Financial Instruments" (FASB 119). FASB 119 requires disclosure about derivative
financial instruments  and  amends FASB  105  "Disclosure of  Information  about
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with
Concentrations  of Credit Risk" (FASB 105) and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107 "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments".
 
    FASB 119  requires  disclosure  about  the  amounts,  nature  and  terms  of
derivatives that are not subject to FASB 105. Also, FASB 119 requires disclosure
about  financial instruments  held or issued  for trading  purposes and purposes
other than trading. This statement was adopted by the Company effective December
31, 1994.
 
    In  May  1993,  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Accounting  Standards  No.  115
"Accounting  for Certain Investments  on Debt and  Equity Securities" (FASB 115)
and the Company adopted this standard at December 31, 1993. The pretax  increase
in   carrying   value   of   fixed   maturities   available   for   sale   as  a

result of  marking to  market was  $108,623,000.  A portion  was recorded  as  a
component  of  future  policy  benefits. Thus,  the  unrealized  appreciation of
investments increased $40,054,000, net of taxes of $21,568,000.
 
2.  INVESTMENT INFORMATION
    (a)  STATUTORY DEPOSITS:  Securities with a carrying value of $2,639,000 and
$2,436,000 were  deposited  by  the Company  under  requirements  of  regulatory

    (b)  Long duration contract liabilities  included in future policy benefits,
as presented in the  table above, result from  traditional life 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 for  traditional  life insurance  products  are 9.5
    percent graded to 7.0 percent over 30 years. The liability for future policy
    benefits for universal life insurance has been established using FASB 97 and
    assumes a  1.0  percent  investment margin.  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 12.2 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 2.5 percent.
 
    (c) The liability for policyholders'  funds 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 4.0 percent  to 8.3 percent. Credited interest  rate
    guarantees  are  generally  for a  period  of one  year.  Withdrawal charges
    generally range from  6.0 percent  to 10.0 percent  grading to  zero over  a
    period of 6 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 5.1 percent to 9.1 percent and maturities range from 2
    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 1995 was
    10.5 percent.
 
       (iv)  The  universal  life  funds,  exclusive  of  corporate  owned  life
    insurance business,  have credited  interest  rates of  6.1 percent  to  7.0
    percent    and    guarantees    ranging   from    4.0    percent    to   5.5

5.  INCOME TAXES
 
    (a) The Federal  income tax rate  applicable to ordinary  income is 35%  for
1995,  1994 and 1993. Actual tax expense  on income from operations differs from
the "expected" amount computed by applying  the Federal income tax rate  because

    (c) At December 31,  1995, accumulated earnings of  the Company for  Federal
income tax purposes include approximately $2,204,000 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 1995,  1994, and  1993 amounted  to $26,030,000,
$25,052,000, and $17,669,000, respectively.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    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.
 
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 values.
 
        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.
 
        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  value of  the 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.
 
        INTEREST RATE CAP:  Fair values for the interest rate cap were estimated
    using values obtained from an independent pricing service.
 
        POLICYHOLDERS' FUNDS ON  DEPOSIT:  Fair  value 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):

8.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
    (a)  The  maximum  stockholder  dividend which  can  be  paid  without prior
regulatory approval is subject to restrictions relating to statutory surplus and
statutory net  gain  from  operations. These  restrictions  limited  payment  of
dividends to $44,970,000 during 1995, however, no dividends were paid during the
year.
 
    (b)  The  Company's stockholders'  equity as  determined in  accordance with
statutory accounting  practices  was  $176,951,000  at  December  31,  1995  and
$145,209,000 at December 31, 1994. Statutory net income amounted to $39,712,000,
$47,002,000, and $10,441,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
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.  Prior  to  January  1,  1996,  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, 1995,  1994
and  1993 were approximately $304,000, $179,000, and $248,000, 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,  1995  by
$59,620,000.
 
    (b) The Parent also sponsors a voluntary savings plan for domestic employees
(a 401(k) plan), which, during the  two years ended December 31, 1994,  provided
for  salary reduction contributions  by employees and  matching contributions by
the Parent of up to 2 percent of annual salary. Commencing January 1, 1995,  the
401(k) plan provided for matching contributions by the Parent of up to 6 percent
of annual salary depending on the employee's years of service.
 
    (c) 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.
 
    (d) Employees of the Company participate  in certain stock option and  stock
purchase plans of the Parent. In general, under the stock option plans, 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.

9.  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
In  general, the stock purchase plans  provide 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.
 
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, 1995, the  future minimum lease
payments under operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

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
