MODIFIED SINGLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES*
ISSUED BY NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
THROUGH ITS NATIONWIDE VLI SEPARATE ACCOUNT-2
The Life Insurance Policies offered by this prospectus are variable life
insurance policies (collectively referred to as the "Policies"). The Policies
are designed to provide life insurance coverage on the Insured named in the
Policy. The Policies may also provide a Cash Surrender Value if the Policy is
terminated during the lifetime of the Insured. The Death Benefit and Cash Value
of the Policies may vary to reflect the experience of the Nationwide VLI
Separate Account-2 (the "Variable Account") or the Fixed Account to which Cash
Values are allocated.
The Policies described in this prospectus may meet the definition of "modified
endowment contracts" under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"). The Code provides for taxation of surrenders, partial surrenders,
loans, collateral assignments and other pre-death distributions from modified
endowment contracts in the same way annuities are taxed. Any distribution is
taxable to the extent the Cash Value of the Policy exceeds, at the time of the
distribution, the premiums paid into the Policy. The Code also provides for a
10% tax penalty on the taxable portion of such distributions. That penalty is
applicable unless the distribution is 1) paid after the Policy Owner is 59 1/2
or disabled; or 2) the distribution is part of an annuity to the Policy Owner as
defined in the Code. (See "Tax Matters.")
It may not be advantageous to replace existing insurance with Policies described
in this prospectus. It may also be disadvantageous to purchase a policy to
obtain additional insurance protection if the purchaser already owns another
variable life insurance policy. The policies may not be advantageous for persons
who may wish to make policy loans or withdrawals prior to attaining age 59 1/2.
(See "Tax Matters.")
* The contract is titled a "Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy" in
Texas.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THE PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
THIS PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. A PROSPECTUS
FOR THE UNDERLYING MUTUAL FUND OPTION(S) BEING CONSIDERED MUST ACCOMPANY THIS
PROSPECTUS AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH.

<PAGE> 12
THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE POLICIES IS TO PROVIDE LIFE INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR
THE BENEFICIARY NAMED IN THE POLICY. NO CLAIM IS MADE THAT THE POLICIES ARE IN
ANY WAY SIMILAR OR COMPARABLE TO A SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN OF A MUTUAL FUND.
SUMMARY OF THE POLICIES
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE
The variable life insurance Policies offered by Nationwide Life Insurance
Company (the "Company") are similar in many ways to fixed-benefit whole life
insurance. As with fixed-benefit whole life insurance, the Owner of the Policy
pays a premium for life insurance coverage on the person insured. Also like
fixed-benefit whole life insurance, the Policies may provide for a Cash
Surrender Value which is payable if the Policy is terminated during the
Insured's lifetime. (As with fixed-benefit whole life insurance, the Cash
Surrender Value during the early Policy years may be substantially lower than
the premiums paid.)
However, the Policies differ from fixed-benefit whole life insurance in several
respects. Unlike fixed-benefit whole life insurance, the Death Benefit and Cash
Value of the Policies may increase or decrease to reflect the investment
performance of the Variable Account sub-accounts or the Fixed Account to which
Cash Values are allocated. (See "How the Death Benefit Varies.") There is no
guaranteed Cash Surrender Value. (See "How the Cash Value Varies.") If the Cash
Surrender Value is insufficient to pay Policy Charges, the Policy will lapse.
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND ITS SUB-ACCOUNTS
The Company places the Policy's Cash Value in the Nationwide VLI Separate
Account-2 (the "Variable Account") at the time the Policy is issued. The Policy
Owner chooses the sub-accounts of the Variable Account or the Fixed Account into
which the Cash Value will be allocated. (See "Allocation of Cash Value.") Assets
of each sub-account are invested at net asset value in shares of a corresponding
underlying Mutual Fund option. For a description of the underlying Mutual Fund
options and their investment objectives, see "Investments of the Variable
Account."
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account is funded by the assets of the Company's General Account. Cash
Values allocated to the Fixed Account are credited with interest daily at a rate
declared by the Company. The interest rate declared is at the Company's sole
discretion, but may never be less than an effective annual rate of 4%.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
The Company deducts certain charges from the assets of the Variable Account and
the Cash Value of the Policy. These charges are made for administrative and
sales expenses, state premium taxes, providing life insurance protection and
assuming the mortality and expense risks.
The Company deducts a charge for the cost of insurance from the Policy's Cash
Value on the Policy Date and each Monthly Anniversary Day. The Company deducts
an annual policy administrative charge from the Policy's Cash Value at the
beginning of each Policy Year after the first. The current annual charge is $90
($65 in New York) for total premium payments less than $25,000 and $50 for total
premium payments greater than or equal to $25,000. This charge is guaranteed
never to exceed $135 ($120 in New York) for total premium payments less than
$25,000 and $75 for total premium payments
7
<PAGE> 13
greater than or equal to $25,000. The Company also deducts on a daily basis from
the assets of the Variable Account a charge to provide for mortality and expense
risks, administrative charges and premium tax recovery. These current charges
are equal on an annual basis to 1.30% of the Variable Account assets for the
first 10 Policy Years and 1.00% thereafter and are guaranteed never to exceed
1.60% and 1.30% respectively. For Policies which are surrendered, the Company
may deduct a Surrender Charge. The Surrender Charge associated with each premium
payment will not exceed 8.5% of the premium payment, and will be applied for
nine years after the effective date of the premium payment. The Surrender Charge
is designed to recover certain expenses incurred by the Company related to the
sale of the Policies.
Underlying Mutual Fund shares are purchased at net asset value, which reflects
the deduction of investment management fees and certain other expenses. The
management fees are charged by each underlying Mutual Fund's investment adviser
for managing the underlying Mutual Fund and selecting its portfolio of
securities. Other underlying Mutual Fund expenses can include such items as
interest expense on loans and contracts with transfer agents, custodians, and
other companies that provide services to the underlying Mutual Fund. The
management fees and other expenses for each underlying Mutual Fund for its most
recently completed fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of the underlying
Mutual Fund's average assets, are as follows:

The Mutual Fund expenses shown above are assessed at the underlying Mutual Fund
level and are not direct charges against the Variable Account or reductions in
Cash Value. These underlying Mutual Fund expenses are taken into consideration
in computing each underlying Mutual Fund's net asset value, which is the share
price used to calculate the Variable Account's unit value. The management fees
and other expenses are more fully described in the prospectuses for each
individual underlying Mutual Fund.
PREMIUMS
The minimum premium for which a Policy may be issued is $10,000. A Policy may be
issued to an insured up to age 80.
For a limited time, the Policy Owner has a right to cancel the Policy and
receive a full refund of premiums paid. (See "Short-Term Right to Cancel

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
The Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 (the "Variable Account"), was established
by a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors, on May 7,1987, pursuant to
the provisions of Ohio law. The Company has caused the Variable Account to be

<PAGE> 15
The Variable Account is a separate investment account of the Company and as
such, is not chargeable with the liabilities arising out of any other business
the Company may conduct. The Company does not guarantee the investment
performance of the Variable Account. The Death Benefit and Cash Value under the
Policy may vary with the investment performance of the investments in the
Variable Account. (See "How the Death Benefit Varies", and "How the Cash Value
Varies.")
Premium payments and Cash Value are allocated within the Variable Account among
one or more sub-accounts. The assets of each sub-account are used to purchase
shares of the underlying Mutual Fund options designated by the Policy Owner.
Thus, the investment performance of a Policy depends upon the investment
performance of the underlying Mutual Fund options designated by the Policy
Owner.
INVESTMENTS OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
At the time of application, the Policy Owner elects to have the Cash Value
allocated among one or more of the Variable Account sub-accounts and the Fixed
Account. (See "Allocation of Cash Value.") When the policy is issued, the
Policy's Cash Value not allocated to the Fixed Account is placed in the
Nationwide Separate Account Trust Money Market sub-account (For any Cash Value
allocated to a Sub-Account on the Application) or Fixed Account until expiration
of the period in which the Policy Owner may exercise his or her short-term right
to cancel the Policy. At the expiration of the period in which the Policy Owner
may exercise his or her short-term right to cancel the Policy, shares of the
underlying Mutual Funds specified by the Policy Owner are purchased at net asset
value for the respective sub-account(s). Such election is subject to any minimum
premium limitations which may be imposed by the underlying Mutual Fund
option(s). In addition, no less than 5% of premium may be allocated to any one
sub-account or the Fixed Account. The Policy Owner may change the allocation of
Cash Value or may transfer Cash Value from one sub-account to another, subject
to such terms and conditions as may be imposed by each underlying Mutual Fund
option and as set forth in this prospectus. (See "Transfers", "Allocation of
Cash Value" and "Short-Term Right to Cancel Policy.")
Each of the underlying Mutual Fund options is a series of registered investment
companies which receive investment advice from a registered investment advisers:

diversified, management investment company. It was incorporated under

growth through equity investment in companies that, in the opinion of the
Fund's management, not only meet traditional investment standards, but

that contributes to the enhancement of the quality of life in America.
Current income is secondary to the primary goal.
FIDELITY'S VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND
The Fund is an open-end, diversified, management investment company organized as
a Massachusetts business trust on November 13, 1981. The Fund's shares are
purchased by insurance companies to fund benefits under variable insurance and
annuity policies. Fidelity Management & Research Company ('FMR') is the Fund's
manager.
- - HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: To obtain a high level of current income by
investing primarily in high-risk, high-yielding, lower rated fixed-income
securities, while also considering growth of capital. The Fund's manager
will seek high current income normally by investing the Fund's assets as
follows:
- at least 65% in income-producing debt securities and preferred
stocks, including convertible securities, zero coupon securities,
and mortgage-backed and asset-based securities;
- up to 20% in common stocks and other equity securities when
consistent with the Fund's primary objective or acquired as part
of a unit combining fixed-income and equity securities.
Higher yields are usually available on securities that are lower-rated or
that are unrated. Lower-rated securities are usually defined as Ba or lower by
Moody's; BB or lower by Standard & Poor's and may be deemed to be of a
speculative nature. The Fund may also purchase lower-quality bonds such as those
rated Ca3 by Moody's or C- by Standard & Poor's which provide poor protection
for payment of principal and interest (commonly referred to as "junk bonds").
For a further discussion of lower-rated securities, please see the "Risks of
Lower-Rated Debt Securities" section of the Fund's prospectus.
- - EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: To seek reasonable income by investing primarily in
income-producing equity securities. In choosing these securities FMR also
will consider the potential for capital appreciation. The Portfolio's
goal is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the
securities comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index.
- - GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: Seeks to achieve capital appreciation. This
Portfolio will invest in the securities of both well-known and
established companies, and smaller, less well-known companies which may
have a narrow product line or whose securities are thinly traded. These
latter securities will often involve greater risk than may be found in
the ordinary investment
12
<PAGE> 18
security. FMR's analysis and expertise plays an integral role in the
selection of securities and, therefore, the performance of the Portfolio.
Many securities which FMR believes would have the greatest potential may
be regarded as speculative, and investment in the Portfolio may involve
greater risk than is inherent in other underlying mutual funds. It is
also important to point out that the Portfolio makes most sense for you
if you can afford to ride out changes in the stock market, because it
invests primarily in common stocks. FMR also can make temporary
investments in securities such as investment-grade bonds, high-quality
preferred stocks and short-term notes, for defensive purposes when it
believes market conditions warrant.
- - OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: To seek long term growth of capital primarily
through investments in foreign securities. The Overseas Portfolio
provides a means for investors to diversify their own portfolios by
participating in companies and economies outside of the United States.

Investment Objective: To seek to obtain high total return with reduced
risk over the long-term by allocating its assets among domestic and
foreign stocks, bonds and short-term fixed income instruments.
- - CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: To seek capital appreciation by investing primarily
in companies that the fund manager believes to be undervalued due to an
overly pessimistic appraisal by the public. This strategy can lead to
investments in domestic or foreign companies, small and large, many of
which may not be well known. The fund primarily invests in common stock
and securities convertible into common stock, but it has the flexibility
to invest in any type of security that may produce capital appreciation.

qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
The investment adviser is Neuberger & Berman Management Incorporated.
- - LIMITED MATURITY BOND PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: To provide the high level of current income,
consistent with low risk to principal and liquidity. As a secondary
objective, it also seeks to enhance its total return through capital
appreciation when market factors, such as falling interest rates and
rising bond prices, indicate that capital appreciation may be available
without significant risk to principal. It seeks to achieve its objectives
through investments in a diversified portfolio of limited maturity debt
securities.
- - GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: The Portfolio seeks capital growth through
investments in common stocks of companies that the investment adviser
believes will have above average earnings or otherwise provide investors
with above average potential for capital appreciation. To maximize this
potential, the investment adviser may also utilize, from time to time,
securities convertible into common stocks, warrants and options to
purchase such stocks.
- - PARTNERS PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective: To seek capital growth. This portfolio will seek to
achieve its objective by investing primarily in the common stock of
established companies. Its investment program seeks securities believed
to be undervalued based on fundamentals such as low price-to-earnings
ratios, consistent cash flows, and support from asset values. The
objective of the Partners Portfolio is not fundamental and can be changed
by the Trustees of the Trust without shareholder approval. Shareholders
will, however, receive at least 30 days prior notice thereof. There is no
assurance the investment objective will be met.

fundamental and technical standards of selection and have, in the opinion
of the fund's investment manager, better than average potential for
appreciation. The fund tries to stay fully invested in such securities,
regardless of the movement of stock prices generally.
The fund may invest in cash and cash equivalents temporarily or when it
is unable to find common stocks meeting its criteria of selection. It may
purchase securities only of companies that have a record of at least
three years continuous operation. There can be no assurance that the Fund

at least 65% of its assets in common stocks or other equity securities of
issuers from at least three countries outside the United States.
Securities of United States issuers may be included in the portfolio from
time to time. Although the primary investment of the fund will be common
stocks (defined to include depository receipts for common stocks), the
fund may also invest in other types of securities consistent with the
fund's objective. When the manager believes that the total return
potential of other securities equals or exceeds the potential return of
common stocks, the fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in such other
securities. There can be no assurance that the fund will achieve its
objectives.
(Although the Statement of Additional Information concerning TCI

characteristics and securities ratings generally will not be a factor in
the selection process.
REINVESTMENT
The Funds described above have as a policy the distribution of dividends in the
form of additional shares (or fractions thereof) of the mutual funds. The
distribution of additional shares will not affect the number of Accumulation
Units attributable to a particular Policy. (See "Allocation of Cash Value.")
TRANSFERS
The Policy Owner may transfer Cash Value among the sub-accounts of the Variable
Account and the Fixed Account. A transfer will take effect on the date of
receipt of written notice at the Company's Home Office. Transfer requests must
be in a written form acceptable to the Company.
The Policy Owner may request a transfer of up to 100% of the Cash Value from the
Variable Account to the Fixed Account. The Policy Owner's Cash Value in each
Sub-Account will be determined as of the date the transfer request is received
in the Home Office in good order. The Company reserves the right to restrict
transfers to the Fixed Account to 25% of the Cash Value.
The Policy Owner may annually transfer a portion of the value of the Fixed
Account to the Variable Account and a portion of the Variable Account to the
Fixed Account, without penalty or adjustment. The Company reserves the right to
limit the amount of Cash Value transferred out of the Fixed Account
17
<PAGE> 23
each Policy Year. Transfers from the Fixed Account must be made within 30 days
after the termination date of the interest rate guarantee period.
Transfers among the sub-accounts may be made once per Valuation Date and may be
made either in writing or, in states allowing such transfers, by telephone. The
Company will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. Such procedures may include any or all of
the following, or such other procedures as the Company may, from time to time,
deem reasonable: requesting identifying information, such as name, contract
number, Social Security number, and/or personal identification number; tape
recording all telephone transactions; and providing written confirmation thereof
to both the Policy Owner and any agent of record at the last address of record.
Although failure to follow reasonable procedures may result in the Company's
liability for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone transfers,
the Company will not be liable for following instructions communicated by
telephone which it reasonably believes to be genuine. Any losses incurred
pursuant to actions taken by the Company in reliance on telephone instructions
reasonably believed to be genuine shall be borne by the Contract Owner. The
Company may withdraw the telephone exchange privilege upon 30 days written
notice to Policy Owners.
Policy Owners who have entered into a Dollar Cost Averaging Agreement with the
Company (see "Dollar Cost Averaging" below) may transfer from the Fixed Account
to the Variable Account under the terms of that agreement.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
The Policy Owner may direct the Company to automatically transfer from the Money
Market sub-account, Fixed Account, or the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio
sub-account to any other sub-account within the Variable Account on a monthly
basis. This service is intended to allow the Policy Owner to utilize Dollar Cost
Averaging, a long-term investment program which provides for regular, level
investments over time. The Company makes no guarantees that Dollar Cost
Averaging, will result in a profit or protect against loss in a declining
market. To qualify for Dollar Cost Averaging, there must be a minimum total Cash
Value, less policy indebtedness, of $15,000. Transfers for purposes of Dollar
Cost Averaging can only be made from the Money Market sub-account, Fixed
Account, or the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio sub-account. The minimum monthly
Dollar Cost Averaging transfer is $100. In addition, Dollar Cost Averaging
monthly transfers from the Fixed Account must be equal to or less than 1/30th of
the Fixed Account value when the Dollar Cost Averaging program is requested.
Transfers out of the Fixed Account, other than for Dollar Cost Averaging, may be
subject to certain additional restrictions. (See "Transfers.") A written
election of this service, on a form provided by the Company, must be completed
by the Policy Owner in order to begin transfers. Once elected, transfers from
the Money Market sub-account, Fixed Account, or the Limited Maturity Bond
Portfolio sub-account will be processed monthly until either the value in the
Money Market sub-account, Fixed Account, or the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio
sub-account is completely depleted or the Policy Owner instructs the Company in
writing to cancel the monthly transfers.
The Company reserves the right to discontinue offering Dollar Cost Averaging
upon 30 days' written notice to Policy Owners however, any such discontinuation
would not affect Dollar Cost Averaging programs already commenced. The Company
also reserves the right to assess a processing fee for this service.
SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
If shares of the underlying Mutual Fund options described in this prospectus
should no longer be available for investment by the Variable Account or, if in
the judgment of the Company's management
18
<PAGE> 24
further investment in such underlying Mutual Funds should become inappropriate
in view of the purposes of the Policy, the Company may substitute shares of
another underlying Mutual Fund for shares already purchased or to be purchased
in the future by premium payments under the Policy. No substitution of
securities in the Variable Account may take place without prior approval of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and under such requirements as it and any
state insurance department may impose.
VOTING RIGHTS
Voting rights under the Policies apply with respect to Cash Value allocated to
the sub-accounts of the Variable Account.
In accordance with its view of present applicable law, the Company will vote the
shares of the underlying Mutual Funds held in the Variable Account at regular
and special meetings of the shareholders of the underlying Mutual Funds in
accordance with instructions received from Policy Owners. However, if the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or any regulation thereunder should be amended or
if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result the Company
determines that it is permitted to vote the shares of the underlying Mutual
Funds in its own right, the Company may elect to do so.
The Policy Owner shall have the voting interest under a Policy. The number of
shares in each sub-account for which the Policy Owner may give voting
instructions is determined by dividing any portion of the Policy's Cash Value
derived from participation in that underlying Mutual Fund by the net asset value
of one share of that underlying Mutual Fund.
The number of shares which a person has a right to vote will be determined as of
a date chosen by the Company, but not more than 90 days prior to the meeting of
the underlying Mutual Fund. Voting instructions will be solicited by written
communication prior to such meeting.
Underlying Mutual Fund shares held in the Variable Account as to which no timely
instructions are received will be voted by the Company in the same proportion as
the voting instructions which are received.
Each person having a voting interest in the Variable Account will receive
periodic reports relating to investments of the Variable Account, the underlying
Mutual Funds' proxy material and a form with which to give such voting
instructions.
Notwithstanding contrary Policy Owner voting instructions, the Company may vote
underlying Mutual Fund shares in any manner necessary to enable the underlying
Mutual Fund to (1) make or refrain from making any change in the investments or
investment policies for any of the underlying Mutual Funds, if required by an
insurance regulatory authority; (2) refrain from making any change in the
investment policies or any investment adviser or principal underwriter of any
portfolio which may be initiated by Policy Owners or the underlying Mutual
Fund's Board of Directors, provided the Company's disapproval of the change is
reasonable and, in the case of a change in the investment policies or investment
adviser, based on a good faith determination that such change would be contrary
to state law or otherwise inappropriate in light of the portfolio's objective
and purposes; or (3) enter into or refrain from entering into any advisory
agreement or underwriting contract, if required by any insurance regulatory
authority.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICIES
UNDERWRITING AND ISSUANCE
- - Minimum Requirements for Issuance of a Policy
The minimum amount of initial premium that will be accepted by the Company is
$10,000. Policies may be issued to Insureds issue ages 80 or younger. Before
issuing any Policy, the Company requires evidence of insurability satisfactory
to it, which may include a medical examination.
- -Premium Payments
The initial premium for a Policy is payable in full at the Company's Home
Office. The minimum amount of initial premium required is $10,000 for issue ages
75 or younger and $50,000 for issue ages 76 through 80. The Specified Amount is
determined by treating the initial premium as equal to 100% of the Guideline
Single Premium. Upon payment of an initial premium, temporary insurance may be
provided, subject to a maximum amount. The effective date of permanent insurance
coverage is dependent upon completion of all underwriting requirements, payment
of the initial premium, and delivery of the Policy while the insured is still
living.
The Policy Owner may make additional premium payments. The Policy is primarily
intended to be a single premium with a limited ability to make additional
payments. Subsequent premium payments under the Policy are permitted under the
following circumstances:
1. an additional premium payment is required to keep the Policy in force
(See "Grace Period"); or
2. except in Virginia, additional premium payments of at least $1,000 may
be made at any time provided the premium limits prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service to qualify the Policy as a life insurance
contract are not violated.
Payment of additional premiums if accepted, may increase the Specified Amount of
insurance. However, the Company reserves the right to require satisfactory
evidence of insurability before accepting any additional premium payment which
results in an increase in the net amount at risk. The Company may also require
that any existing Policy indebtedness is repaid prior to accepting any
additional premium payments.
The Company will not accept a subsequent premium payment which would result in
total premiums paid exceeding the premium limitations prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service to qualify the Policy as a life insurance contract.
- -Allocation of Cash Value
At the time a Policy is issued, its Cash Value will be based on the Nationwide
Separate Account Trust Money Market Fund sub-account value or the Fixed Account
as if the Policy had been issued and the premium invested on the date the
premium was received in good order by the Company. When the Policy is issued,
the Cash Value will be allocated to the Nationwide Separate Account Trust Money
Market Fund sub-account (for any Cash Value allocated to a Sub-Account on the
Application) or the Fixed Account until the expiration of the period in which
the Policy Owner may exercise his or her short-term right to cancel the Policy.
Cash Value not designated for the Fixed Account will be placed in the Nationwide
Separate Account Trust Money Market Sub-Account. At the expiration of the period
in which the Policy Owner may exercise his or her short term right to cancel the
Policy, shares of the underlying Mutual Funds specified by the Policy Owner are
purchased at net asset value for the respective sub-account(s). The Policy Owner
may change the allocation of Cash Value or may transfer
20
<PAGE> 26
Cash Value from one sub-account to another, subject to such terms and conditions
as may be imposed by each underlying Mutual Fund and as set forth in the
prospectus. Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Account at the time of application
may not be transferred prior to the first Policy Anniversary. (See "Transfers"
and "Investments of the Variable Account.")
The designation of investment allocations will be made by the prospective Policy
Owner at the time of application for a Policy. The Policy Owner may change the
way in which future premiums are allocated by giving written notice to the
Company. All percentage allocations must be in whole numbers, and must be at
least 5%. The sum of allocations must equal 100%.
- -Short-Term Right to Cancel Policy
A Policy may be returned for cancellation and a full refund of premium within 10
days after the Policy is received, within 45 days after the application for
insurance is signed, or within 10 days after the Company mails or delivers a
Notice of Right of Withdrawal, whichever is latest. The Policy can be mailed or
delivered to the registered representative who sold it, or the Company.
Immediately after such mailing or delivery, the Policy will be deemed void from
the beginning. The Company will refund the total premiums paid within seven days
after it receives the Policy.
POLICY CHARGES
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
No deduction is made from any premium at the time of payment. 100% of each
premium payment is applied to the Cash Value.
DEDUCTIONS FROM CASH VALUE
The Company may deduct certain charges from the Policy's Cash Value. While the
Company reserves the right to change current charges, it has no present intent
to do so. These are comprised of the following items:
- -Charges on Surrender
No charges are deducted from any premium payment. The Company incurs certain
expenses related to the sale of the Policies. These expenses include commissions
paid to sales personnel, the cost of sales literature and other promotional
activity. To recover these expenses, the Company imposes a Surrender Charge. The
Surrender Charge may be insufficient to recover all these expenses. Unrecovered
expenses are borne by the Company's general assets which may include profits, if
any, from Mortality and Expense Risk Charges.
The initial premium payment and any subsequent premium payment which results in
an increased net amount at risk will have a Surrender Charge associated with it,
that will be less than or equal to 8.5% of such premium payment, as set forth in
the following chart. The Surrender Charge applies for nine years after the
effective date of each premium payment. Certain surrenders may result in adverse
tax consequences (See "Tax Matters").
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C>
3 8.0% 8 4.0%
4 7.5% 9 0.0%
</TABLE>
In no event will the surrender charge deducted on surrender exceed 8.5% of the
total premiums paid.
The amount of the Surrender Charge may be eliminated when the Policies are
issued to an officer, director, former director, partner, employee, or retired
employee of the Company; an employee of the General distributor of the Policies,
Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.; or an employee of an affiliate of the
Company or the General Distributor; or, a duly appointed representative of the
company who receives no commission as a result of the purchase.
Elimination of the Surrender Charge will be permitted by the Company only in
those situations where the Company does not incur sales or administrative
expenses normally associated with sales of a Policy. In no event will reduction
of the Surrender Charge be permitted where such reduction will be unfairly
discriminatory to any person.
- -Annual Administrative Charge
The Company deducts an annual administrative charge at the beginning of each
Policy Year after the first. It will be charged proportionately to the Cash
Values in each Variable sub-account and the Fixed Account. The amount of this
annual charge is determined by the total net premium payments (premium payments
less any previous partial surrenders) as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Total Net Premium Payments Current Guaranteed Maximum
Greater than But Less Annual Administrative Annual Administrative
or Equal to than Charge Charge
----------- ---- ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
$10,000 $25,000 $90 Non-New York $135 Non-New York
$65 in New York $120 in New York
$25,000 $50 All States $75 All States
</TABLE>
- -Cost of Insurance Charge
A monthly deduction for the Cost of insurance is charged proportionately against
the Cash Value in each Sub-account and the Fixed Account on the Policy Date and
each Monthly Anniversary Day. The Company will determine the Monthly Cost of
Insurance charge by multiplying the Applicable Cost of Insurance rate by the net
amount at risk. The net amount at risk is equal to the Death Benefit minus the
Cash Value.
Guaranteed cost of insurance charges will not exceed the cost based on the
guaranteed cost of insurance rate and the Policy's net amount at risk.
Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for Standard Simplified issues are based on
the 1980 Commissioner's Extended Term Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday (1980
CET). Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for Standard Preferred issues are based
on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday
(1980 CSO). Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for substandard issues are based
on appropriate percentage multiples of the 1980 CSO. These mortality tables are
sex distinct. In addition, separate mortality tables will be used for standard
and non-tobacco.
For Policies issued in Texas, guaranteed cost of insurance rates for Standard
Simplified issues ("Special Class-Simplified" in Texas) are based on 130% of the
1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday (1980
CSO).
The rate class of an Insured may affect the cost of insurance rate. The Company
currently places an Insured into both standard rate classes and substandard
classes that involve a higher mortality risk. In
22
<PAGE> 28
an otherwise identical Policy, an Insured in the standard rate class will have a
lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a rate class with higher mortality
risks. The Company may also issue certain Policies on a "Simplified Issue" basis
to certain categories of individuals. Due to the underwriting criteria
established for Policies issued on a Simplified Issue basis, actual rates for
healthy individuals will be higher than the current cost of insurance rates
being charged under otherwise identical Policies that are issued on a Preferred
basis.
DEDUCTIONS FROM THE SUB-ACCOUNTS
The Company will deduct, on a daily basis, certain charges from the assets of
the Variable Account. On an annual basis, these charges are equivalent to:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Policy Years Policy Years
1-10 11+
------------ ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Current 1.30% 1.00%
Guaranteed Maximum 1.60% 1.30%
</TABLE>
While the Company reserves the right to change current charges, it has no
present intent to do so.
These charges consist of the following items:
- -Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
The Company assumes certain risks for guaranteeing mortality and expense
charges. The mortality risk assumed under the Policies is that the Insured may
not live as long as expected. The expense risk assumed is that the actual
expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policies may be greater than
expected. In addition, the Company assumes risks associated with the nonrecovery
of policy issue, underwriting, and other administrative expenses due to Policies
which lapse or are surrendered during the first ten years following each premium
payment.
To compensate the Company for assuming these risks associated with the Policies,
the Company deducts a daily charge from the assets of the sub-accounts of the
Variable Account. This charge currently is equivalent to an effective annual
rate of 0.75%. To the extent that future levels of mortality and expenses are
less than or equal to those expected, the Company may realize a profit from
these charges. This charge is guaranteed not to exceed 0.90%.
- -Administrative Expense Charge
The Company deducts a daily Administrative Expense Charge to reimburse it for
expenses related to issuance and maintenance of the Policies including
underwriting, establishing policy records, accounting and record keeping, and
periodic reporting to Policy Owners. This charge is designed only to reimburse
the Company for its actual administrative expenses. In the aggregate, the
Company expects that the charges for administrative costs will be approximately
equal to the related expenses.
This charge is deducted daily from the assets of the sub-accounts of the
Variable Account. This charge currently is equivalent to an annual effective
rate of 0.25%. This charge is guaranteed not to exceed 0.40%.
- -Premium Tax Recovery Charge
Premium taxes are not deducted at the time a premium is paid. The Company pays
any state premium taxes attributable to a particular Policy when incurred by the
Company. The Company expects to pay an average state premium tax rate of
approximately 2.5% of premiums for all states, although such tax rates generally
can range from 0% to 4%. To reimburse the Company for the payment of state
23
<PAGE> 29
premium taxes associated with the Policies, during the first ten Policy Years
the Company deducts a daily charge from the assets of the sub-accounts. This
charge is computed on a daily basis, and is equivalent to an annual effective
rate of 0.30% of the assets of the Variable Account during the first ten Policy
Years, and 0% thereafter. This charge may be more or less than the amount
actually assessed by the state in which a particular Policy Owner lives. The
Company does not expect to make a profit from this charge.
- -Income Tax Charge
The Company does not currently assess any charge for income taxes incurred by
the Company as a result of the operations of the sub-accounts of the Variable
Account. (See "Taxation of the Company".) The Company reserves the right to
assess a charge for such taxes against the Variable Account if the Company
determines that such taxes will be incurred.
HOW THE CASH VALUE VARIES
On any date during the Policy Year, the Cash Value equals the Cash Value on the
preceding Valuation Date, plus any premium applied since the previous Valuation
Date, plus or minus any investment results, and less any Policy Charges.
There is no guaranteed Cash Value. The Cash Value will vary with the investment
experience of the Variable Account and/or the daily crediting of interest in the
Fixed Account and Policy Loan Account depending on the allocation of Cash Value
by the Policy Owner.
HOW THE INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE IS DETERMINED
The Cash Value in each sub-account is converted to Accumulation Units of that
sub-account. The conversion is accomplished by dividing the amount of Cash Value
allocated to a sub-account by the value of an Accumulation Unit for the
sub-account of the Valuation Period during which the allocation occurs.
The value of an Accumulation Unit for each sub-account was arbitrarily set
initially at $10 when the underlying Mutual Fund shares in that sub-account were
available for purchase. The value for any subsequent Valuation Period is
determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for each sub-account for
the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the Net Investment Factor for the
sub-account during the subsequent Valuation Period. The value of an Accumulation
Unit may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation Period. The
number of Accumulation Units will not change as a result of investment
experience.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a)
by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result where:
(a) is the net of:
(1) the net asset value per share of the underlying Mutual Fund option
held in the sub-account determined at the end of the current
Valuation Period, plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made by the underlying Mutual Fund option held in the sub-account
if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the current Valuation
Period.
24
<PAGE> 30
(b) is the net asset value per share of the underlying Mutual Fund held in
the sub-account determined at the end of the immediately preceding
Valuation Period.
(c) is a factor representing the daily Mortality and Expense Risk Charge,
Administration Expense Charge and Premium Tax Recovery Charge deducted
from the Variable Account. Such factor is equal to an annual rate of
1.30% for the first ten years and 1.00% thereafter of the daily net asset
value of the Variable Account.
For underlying Mutual Fund options that credit dividends on a daily basis and
pay such dividends once a month, the Net Investment Factor allows for the
monthly reinvestment of these daily dividends.
The Net Investment Factor may be greater or less than one; therefore, the value
of an Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease. It should be noted that
changes in the Net Investment Factor may not be directly proportional to changes
in the net asset value of underlying Mutual Fund shares, because of the
deduction for Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administration Expense Charge,
and Premium Tax Recovery Charge and any charge or credit for tax reserves.
VALUATION OF ASSETS
Underlying Mutual Fund shares in the Variable Account will be valued at their
net asset value.
DETERMINING THE CASH VALUE
The sum of the value of all Variable Account Accumulation Units attributable to
the Policy and amounts credited to the Fixed Account is the Cash Value. The
number of Accumulation Units credited per each sub-account are determined by
dividing the net amount allocated to the sub-account by the Accumulation Unit
Value for the sub-account for the Valuation Period during which the premium is
received by the Company. In the event part or all of the Cash Value is
surrendered or charges or deductions are made against the Cash Value, an
appropriate number of Accumulation Units from the Variable Account and an
appropriate amount from the Fixed Account will be deducted in the same
proportion that the Policy Owner's interest in the Variable Account and the
Fixed Account bears to the total Cash Value.
The Cash Value in the Fixed Account and the Policy Loan Account is credited with
interest daily at an effective annual rate which the Company periodically
declares. The annual effective rate will never be less than 4%. Upon request,
the Company will inform the Policy Owner of the then applicable rates for each
account.
VALUATION PERIODS AND VALUATION DATES
A Valuation Period is the period commencing at the close of business on the New
York Stock Exchange and ending at the close of business for the next succeeding
Valuation Date. A Valuation Date is each day that the New York Stock Exchange
and the Company's home office is open for business or any other day during which
there is sufficient degree of trading that the current net asset value of the
Accumulation Units might be materially affected.
SURRENDERING THE POLICY FOR CASH
RIGHT TO SURRENDER
The Policy Owner may surrender the Policy in full at any time while the Insured
is living and receive its Cash Surrender Value. The cancellation will be
effective as of the date the Company receives a proper written request for
cancellation and the Policy. Such written request must be signed and, where
25
<PAGE> 31
permitted, the signature guaranteed by a member firm of the New York, American,
Boston, Midwest, Philadelphia or Pacific Stock Exchange, or by a Commercial Bank
or Savings and Loan, which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. In some cases, the Company may require additional documentation of
a customary nature.
CASH SURRENDER VALUE
The Cash Surrender Value increases or decreases daily to reflect the investment
experience of the Variable Account and the daily crediting of interest in the
Fixed Account and the Policy Loan Account. The Cash Surrender Value equals the
Policy's Cash Value, next computed after the date the Company receives a proper
written request for surrender of the Policy, minus any charges, indebtedness or
other deductions due on that date, which may also include a Surrender Charge.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS
After the Policy has been in force for 5 Policy Years, the Policy Owner may
request a partial surrender. Partial surrenders will be permitted only if they
satisfy the following requirements:
1. The maximum partial surrender in any Policy Year is limited to 10% of
the total premium payments;
2. Partial surrenders must not result in a reduction of the Cash
Surrender Value below $10,000; and
3. After the partial surrender, the Policy continues to qualify as life
insurance.
When a partial surrender is made, the Cash Value is reduced by the amount of the
partial surrender. Also, under Death Benefit Option 1, the Specified Amount is
reduced by the amount of the partial surrender. Partial surrender amounts must
be first deducted from the values in the Variable sub-accounts. Partial
surrenders will be deducted from the Fixed Account only to the extent that
insufficient values are available in the Variable sub-accounts.
Surrender Charges will be waived for any partial surrenders which satisfy the
above conditions. Certain partial surrenders may result in currently taxable
income and tax penalties. (See "Tax Matters.")
MATURITY PROCEEDS
The Maturity Date is the Policy Anniversary on or next following the Insured's
95th birthday. The maturity proceeds will be payable to the Policy Owner on the
Maturity Date provided the Policy is still in force. The Maturity Proceeds will
be equal to the amount of the Policy's Cash Value, less any indebtedness.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Federal law requires the Company to withhold income tax from any portion of
surrender proceeds that is subject to tax, unless the Policy Owner advises the
Company, in writing, of his or her request not to withhold.
If the Policy Owner requests that the Company not withhold taxes, or if the
taxes withheld are insufficient, the Policy Owner may be liable for payment of
an estimated tax. The Policy Owner should consult his or her tax advisor.
26
<PAGE> 32
POLICY LOANS
TAKING A POLICY LOAN
The Policy Owner may take a loan using the Policy as security. During the first
year, maximum Policy indebtedness is limited to 50% of the Cash Surrender Value
less interest due on the next Policy Anniversary. After the first Policy Year,
the maximum Policy indebtedness is limited to 90% of the Cash Surrender Value
less interest due on the next Policy Anniversary. The Company will not grant a
loan for an amount less than $1,000 ($200 in Connecticut, $500 in New York).
Should the Death Benefit become payable, the Policy be surrendered, or the
Policy mature while a loan is outstanding, the amount of Policy indebtedness
will be deducted from the Death Benefit, Cash Surrender Value or the Maturity
Value, respectively.
Maximum Policy indebtedness, in Texas, is limited to 90% of the Cash Surrender
Value in the sub-accounts and 100% of the Cash Surrender Value in the Fixed
Account less interest due on the next Policy Anniversary.
Any request for a Policy loan must be in written form satisfactory to the
Company. The request must be signed and, where permitted, the signature
guaranteed by a member firm of the New York, American, Boston, Midwest,
Philadelphia or Pacific Stock Exchange; or by a Commercial Bank or a Savings and
Loan which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Certain
Policy loans may result in currently taxable income and tax penalties. (See "Tax
Matters.")
EFFECT ON INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
When a loan is made, an amount equal to the amount of the loan is transferred
from the Variable Account to the Policy Loan Account. If the assets relating to
a Policy are held in more than one sub-account, withdrawals from sub-accounts
will be made in proportion to the assets in each Variable Sub-account at the
time of the loan. Policy Loans will be transferred from the Fixed Account only
when insufficient amounts are available in the Variable Sub-accounts. The amount
taken out of the Variable Account will not be affected by the Variable Account's
investment experience while the loan is outstanding.
INTEREST
Amounts transferred to the Policy Loan Account will earn interest daily from the
date of transfer.
Policy Loans will be currently credited interest daily at an annual effective
rate of 5.0%. This rate is guaranteed never to be lower than 4%. The Company may
change the current interest crediting rate on Policy Loans at any time at its
sole discretion. This earned interest is transferred from the Policy Loan
Account to a Variable Account or the Fixed Account on each Policy Anniversary.
It will be allocated according to the underlying Mutual Fund Allocation Factors
in effect at the time of the transfer.
The loan interest rate is 6% per year for all Policy Loans. Interest is charged
daily and is payable at the end of each Policy year. Unpaid interest will be
added to the existing policy indebtedness as of the due date and will be charged
interest at the same rate as the rest of the indebtedness.
Whenever the total loan indebtedness plus accrued interest exceeds the Cash
Value less any Surrender Charges, the Company will send a notice to the Policy
Owner and the assignee, if any. The Policy will terminate without value 61 days
after the mailing of the notice unless a sufficient repayment is made during
that period. A repayment is sufficient if it is large enough to reduce the total
loan
27
<PAGE> 33
indebtedness plus accrued interest to an amount equal to the total Cash Value
less any Surrender Charges plus an amount sufficient to continue the Policy in
force for 3 months.
EFFECT ON DEATH BENEFIT AND CASH VALUE
A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Death
Benefit and Cash Value because the investment results of the Variable Account or
the Fixed Account will apply only to the non-loaned portion of the Cash Value.
The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is likely to be.
Depending on the investment results of the Variable Account or the Fixed Account
while the loan is outstanding, the effect could be favorable or unfavorable.
REPAYMENT
All or part of a loan may be repaid at any time while the Policy is in force
during the insured's lifetime. Any payment intended as a loan repayment, rather
than a premium payment, must be identified as such. Loan repayments will be
credited to the Variable Sub-accounts and the Fixed Account in proportion to the
Policy Owner's Premium allocation in effect at the time of the repayment. Each
repayment may not be less than $1,000 ($50 in Connecticut and New York). The
Company reserves the right to require that any loan repayments resulting from
Policy Loans transferred from the Fixed Account must be first allocated to the
Fixed Account.
HOW THE DEATH BENEFIT VARIES
- -Calculation of the Death Benefit
At issue, the Specified Amount is determined by treating the initial premium as
equal to 100% of the Guideline Single Premium. Additional premium payments, if
accepted, may increase the Specified Amount. Guideline Single Premiums vary by
attained age, sex, smoking classification, underwriting classification and total
premium payments. The following table illustrates representative initial
Specified Amounts, under Death Benefit Option 1, for non-tobacco.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

65 52,094 59,930 105,070 121,014
</TABLE>
Generally, for a given premium payment, the initial Specified Amount is greater
for non-tobacco than standard and females than males. The Specified Amount is
shown in the Policy.
While the Policy is in force, the Death Benefit will never be less than the
Specified Amount. The Death Benefit may vary with the Cash Value of the Policy,
which depends on investment performance.
The Policy Owner may choose one of two Death Benefit Options. Under Option 1,
the Death Benefit will be the greater of the Specified Amount or the Applicable
Percentage of Cash Value. Under Option 1, the amount of the Death Benefit will
ordinarily not change for several years to reflect the investment performance
and may not change at all. If investment performance is favorable the amount of
Death Benefit may increase. To see how and when investment performance will
begin to affect Death Benefits, please see the illustrations. Under Option 2,
the Death Benefit will be the greater of the
28
<PAGE> 34
Specified Amount plus the Cash Value, or the Applicable Percentage of Cash Value
and will vary directly with the investment performance.
Policy Owners who are satisfied with the amount of their current insurance
coverage and prefer to have favorable investment performance and any future
premium payments reflected in increased Policy Cash Values should choose Death
Benefit Option 1. Policy Owners who prefer to have favorable investment
performance and any future premium payments increase Death Benefits should
choose Death Benefit Option 2.
The monthly Cost of Insurance for Option 1 will always be less than or equal to
the monthly Cost of Insurance for the same amount of Specified Amount under
Option 2. (See "Cost of Insurance Charge.")
The term "applicable percentage" means:
1. 250% when the Insured is Attained Age 40 or less at the beginning of a
Policy Year, and
2. when the Insured is Attained Age 40, the percentage shown in the
"Applicable Percentage of Cash Value Table" following.

- -Proceeds Payable on Death
The actual Death Proceeds payable on the Insured's death will be the Death
Benefit as described above, less any outstanding Policy loans and less any
unpaid Policy Charges. Under certain circumstances, the Proceeds may be
adjusted, (See "Incontestability", "Error in Age or Sex", and "Suicide.")
29
<PAGE> 35
RIGHT TO EXCHANGE FOR A FIXED BENEFIT POLICY
The Policy Owner may exchange the Policy for a modified single premium life
insurance policy offered by the Company on the Policy Date. If not available,
the new policy may be a flexible premium adjustable life insurance policy
offered by the Company on the Policy Date. The benefits for the new policy will
not vary with the investment experience of a separate account. The exchange must
be elected within 24 months from the Policy Date. No evidence of insurability
will be required.
The Policy Owner and Beneficiary under the new Policy will be the same as those
under the exchanged Policy on the effective date of the exchange. The new Policy
will have a death benefit on the exchange date not more than the death benefit
of the original Policy immediately prior to the exchange date. The new Policy
will have the same policy date and issue age as the original Policy. The initial
Specified Amount and any increases in Specified Amount will have the same rate
class as those of the original Policy. Any indebtedness may be transferred to
the new policy.
The exchange may be subject to an equitable adjustment in rates and values to
reflect variances, if any, in the rates and values between the two Policies.
After adjustment, if any excess is owed the Policy Owner, the Company will pay
the excess to the Policy Owner in cash. The exchange may be subject to federal
income tax withholding. (See "Income Tax Withholding.")
CHANGES OF INVESTMENT POLICY
The Company may materially change the Investment Policy of the Variable Account.
The Company must inform the Policy Owner and obtain all necessary regulatory
approvals. Any change must be submitted to the various state insurance
departments which may disapprove it if deemed detrimental to the interests of
the policy holders or if it renders the Company's operations hazardous to the
public. If a Policy Owner objects, the Policy may be converted to a
substantially comparable Nationwide General Account Life Insurance Policy on the
life of the insured. The Policy Owner has the later of 60 days (6 months in
Pennsylvania) from the date of the Investment Policy change or 60 days (6 months
in Pennsylvania) from being informed of such change to make this conversion. The
Company will not require Evidence of Insurability for this conversion.
The new policy will not be affected by the investment experience of any separate
account. The New Policy will be for an amount of insurance not exceeding the
Death Benefit of the Policy converted on the date of such conversion.
GRACE PERIOD
If the Cash Surrender Value in the Policy is insufficient to pay the Cost of
Insurance Charges, Policy loan interest, or other charges which become due but
are unpaid, a grace period of 61 days will be allowed for payment of sufficient
premium to continue the Policy in force. The Company will notify the Policy
Owner of the amount required to continue the Policy in force. If the required
amount is not received within 61 days of the notice, the Policy will terminate
without value. If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, the Company will pay
the Death Proceeds.
REINSTATEMENT
If the Grace Period ends and the Policy Owner has neither paid the required
premium nor surrendered the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value, the Policy
Owner may reinstate the Policy by:
1. submitting a written request at any time within 3 years after the end of
the Grace Period and prior to the Maturity Date:
2. providing evidence of insurability satisfactory to the Company;
30
<PAGE> 36
3. paying sufficient premium to cover all policy charges that were due and
unpaid during the Grace Period;
4. paying sufficient premium to keep the Policy in force for 3 months from the
date of reinstatement, and
5. paying or reinstating any indebtedness against the Policy which existed at
the end of the Grace Period.
The effective date of a reinstated Policy will be the Monthly Anniversary Day on
or next following the date the application for reinstatement is approved by us.
If your Policy is reinstated, the Cash Value on the date of reinstatement, but
prior to applying any premiums or loan repayments received, will be set equal to
the appropriate Surrender Charge. Such Surrender Charge will be based on the
length of time from the date of premium payments to the effective date of the
reinstatement. Unless the Policy Owner has provided otherwise, the allocation of
the amount of the Surrender Charge, additional premium payments, and any loan
repayments will be based on the underlying Mutual Fund Allocation factors in
effect at the start of the Grace Period.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in Nationwide's
General Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and
the General Account has not been registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the General Account nor any
interests therein are subject to the provisions of these Acts, and Nationwide
has been advised that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has
not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the Fixed-Account
option. 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.
As explained earlier, a Policy Owner may elect to allocate or transfer all or
part of the Cash Value to the Fixed Account and the amount allocated or
transferred becomes part of Nationwide's general assets (General Account).
Nationwide's General Account consists of all assets of the Company other than
those in the Variable Account and in other separate accounts that have been or
may be established by the Company. Subject to applicable law, the Company has
sole discretion over the investment of the assets of the General Account, and
Policy Owners do not share in the investment experience of those assets. The
Company guarantees that the part of the Cash Value invested under the
Fixed-Account option will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate that
the Company declares periodically. The Fixed Account crediting rate will not be
less than an effective annual rate of 4%. Upon request and in the annual
statement the Company will inform a Policy Owner of the then applicable rate.
The Company is not obligated to credit interest at a higher rate.
CHANGES IN EXISTING INSURANCE COVERAGE
After the first Policy Year, the Policy Owner may request certain changes in the
insurance coverage under the Policy. Any request must be in writing and received
at the Company's Home Office. No change will take effect unless the Cash
Surrender Value, after the change, is sufficient to keep the Policy in force for
at least 3 months.
CHANGES IN THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT
Payment of additional premiums or changes in the Death Benefit Option may
require an increase to the Specified Amount (the minimum increase in the
Specified Amount permitted by the Company is
31
<PAGE> 37
$10,000). An approved increase will have an effective date of the Monthly
Anniversary Day on or next following the date we approve the supplemental
application. The Company reserves the right to limit such increases to one per
Policy Year, and to require satisfactory evidence of insurability for any
increase in the Specified Amount. In addition, the rate class, rate class
multiple and rate type for the increase in Specified Amount must be identical to
those on the Policy Date. The Specified Amount cannot be decreased if, after the
decrease, the policy would fail to satisfy the definition of Life Insurance
under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
CHANGES IN THE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
The Policy Owner may change the Death Benefit Option under the Policy. If the
change is from Option 1 to Option 2, the Specified Amount will be decreased by
the amount of the Cash Value. If the change is from Option 2 to Option 1, the
Specified Amount will be increased by the amount of the Cash Value. Evidence of
insurability is not required for a change from Option 2 to Option 1. The Company
reserves the right to require evidence of insurability for a change from Option
1 to Option 2. The effective date of the change will be the Monthly Anniversary
Day on or next following the date the Company approves the request for change.
Only one change of option is permitted per Policy Year. A change in Death
Benefit Option will not be permitted if it results in the total premiums paid
exceeding the then current maximum premium limitations prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service to qualify the Policy as a life insurance contract.
OTHER POLICY PROVISIONS
POLICY OWNER
While the Insured is living, all rights in this Policy are vested in the Policy
Owner named in the application or as subsequently changed, subject to
assignment, if any.
The Policy Owner may name a Contingent Policy Owner or a new Policy Owner while
the Insured is living. Any change must be in a written form satisfactory to the
Company and recorded at the Company's Home Office. Once recorded, the change
will be effective when signed. The change will not affect any payment made or
action taken by the Company before it was recorded. The Company may require that
the Policy be submitted for endorsement before making a change.
If the Policy Owner is other than the Insured and names no contingent owner, and
dies before the Insured, the Policy Owner's rights in this Policy belong to the
Policy Owner's estate.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary(ies) shall be as named in the application or as subsequently
changed, subject to assignment, if any.
The Policy Owner may name a new Beneficiary while the Insured is living. Any
change must be in a written form satisfactory to the Company and recorded at the
Company's Home Office. Once recorded, the change will be effective when signed.
The change will not affect any payment made or action taken by the Company
before it was recorded.
If any Beneficiary predeceases the Insured, that Beneficiary's interest passes
to any surviving beneficiary, unless otherwise provided. Multiple beneficiaries
will be paid in equal shares, unless otherwise provided. If no named Beneficiary
survives the Insureds, the proceeds shall be paid to the Policy Owner or the
Policy Owner's estate.
32
<PAGE> 38
ASSIGNMENT
While the Insured is living, the Policy Owner may assign his or her rights in
the Policy. The assignment must be in writing, signed by the Policy Owner and
recorded by the Company at its Home Office. The Company is not responsible for
any assignment not submitted for recording, nor is the Company responsible for
the sufficiency or validity of any assignment.
The assignment will be subject to any Indebtedness owed to the Company before it
was recorded.
INCONTESTABILITY
The Company will not contest a Death Benefit based on representations in any
written application when such benefit has been in force, during the lifetime of
the Insured, for two years.
ERROR IN AGE OR SEX
If the Insured's age, sex or both, as stated in the application, are incorrect,
the affected benefits will be adjusted to reflect the correct age or sex.
SUICIDE
If the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the Policy Date, the
Company will pay no more than the sum of the premiums, less any unpaid loan. If
the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the date an application is
accepted for an increase in the Specified Amount, the Company will pay no more
than the amount paid for such additional benefit.
NONPARTICIPATING POLICIES
The Policies are nonparticipating. This means that they do not participate in
any dividend distribution of the Company's surplus.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
On July 6, 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Arizona Governing Committee v.
Norris that certain annuity benefits provided by employers' retirement and
fringe benefit programs may not vary between men and women on the basis of sex.
This decision applies only to benefits derived from premiums made on or after
August 1, 1983. The Policies offered by this prospectus are based upon actuarial
tables which distinguish between men and women and thus the Policies provide
different benefits to men and women of the same age. Accordingly, employers and
employee organizations should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the
impact of Norris on any employment related insurance or benefit program before
purchasing this Policy.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
The Policies will be sold by licensed insurance agents in those states where the
Policies may lawfully be sold. Such agents will be registered representatives of
broker dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are
members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD). The
Policies will be distributed by the General Distributor, Nationwide Financial
Services, Inc.
Gross commissions paid by the Company on the sale of these Policies plus fees
for marketing services provided by the General Distributor are not more than
7.50% of the premiums paid.
33
<PAGE> 39
CUSTODIAN OF ASSETS
The Company serves as the Custodian of the assets of the Variable Account.
TAX MATTERS
POLICY PROCEEDS
Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") provides that if certain
tests are met, a Policy will be treated as a life insurance policy for federal
tax purposes. The Company will monitor compliance with these tests. The Policy
should thus receive the same Federal income tax treatment as fixed benefit life
insurance. As a result, the life insurance proceeds payable under a Policy are
excludable from gross income of the beneficiary under Section 101 of the Code.
The Policies described in this prospectus, meet the definition of "modified
endowment contracts" under Section 7702A of the Code. The Code defines modified
endowment contracts as those policies issued or materially changed after June
21, 1988 on which the total premiums paid during the first seven years exceed
the amount that would have been paid if the policy provided for paid up benefits
after seven level annual premiums. The policies offered in this prospectus
typically fall within this definition. The Code provides for taxation of
surrenders, partial surrenders, loans, collateral assignments and other
pre-death distributions from modified endowment contracts in the same way
annuities are taxed. Any distribution is taxable to the extent the Cash Value of
the Policy exceeds, at the time of the distribution, the premiums paid into the
Policy. The Code generally provides for a 10% tax penalty on the taxable portion
of such distributions. That penalty is applicable unless the distribution is 1)
paid after the Policy Owner is 59 1/2 or disabled; or 2) the distribution is
part of an annuity to the Policy Owner as defined in the Code.
Even though exchanges under Section 1035 of the Code qualify as material
changes, certain exchanges of pre-June 22, 1988 policies may retain their
non-modified endowment status. Therefore, the policies offered by this
prospectus may or may not be issued as modified endowment contracts. The Company
will monitor premiums paid and will notify the Policy Owner when the policy's
non-modified endowment status is in jeopardy. If a policy is not a modified
endowment contract, a cash distribution during the first fifteen years after a
policy is issued which causes a reduction in death benefits may still become
fully or partially taxable to the Owner pursuant to Section 7702(f)(7) of the
Code. The Policy Owner should carefully consider this potential effect and seek
further information before initiating any changes in the terms of the policy.
Under certain conditions, a policy may become a modified endowment as a result
of certain material changes or a reduction in benefits as defined by Section
7702A(c) of the Code.
In addition to meeting the tests required under Sections 7702, Section 817(h) of
the Code requires that the investments of separate accounts such as the Variable
Account be adequately diversified. Regulations issued by the Secretary of the
Treasury, set the standards for measuring the adequacy of this diversification.
To be adequately diversified, each sub-account of the Variable Account must meet
certain tests. The Company believes that the investments of the Variable Account
meet the applicable diversification standards. The regulations provide that a
variable life policy which does not satisfy the diversification standards will
not be treated as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
Code, unless the failure to satisfy regulations was inadvertent, the failure is
corrected, and the Policy Owner or the Company pays an amount to the Internal
Revenue Service. The amount will be based on the tax that would have been paid
by the Policy Owner if the income, for the period the policy was not
diversified, had been received by the Policy Owner. If the failure to diversify
is not corrected in this manner, the Policy Owner of the life policy will be
deemed the owner of the underlying securities
34
<PAGE> 40
and will be taxed on the earnings of his or her account. The Company will
monitor compliance with these regulations and, to the extent necessary, will
change the objectives or assets of the sub-account investments to remain in
compliance.
Should the Secretary of the Treasury issue additional rules or regulations
limiting the number of funds, transfers between funds, exchanges of funds or
changes in investment objectives of funds such that the Policy would no longer
qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code, the Company will take
whatever steps are available to remain in compliance.
A total surrender or cancellation of the Policy by lapse may have adverse tax
consequences depending on the circumstances. If the amount received by the
Policy Owner plus total Policy Indebtedness exceeds the premiums paid into the
Policy, the excess generally will be treated as taxable income, regardless of
whether or not the Policy is a modified endowment contract.
Federal estate and state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Policy Owner or Beneficiary.
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under 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 Sub-chapter 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 value of Accumulation Units. As a result,
such investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to
increase reserves under the Policies.
The Company does not initially expect to incur any Federal income tax liability
that would be chargeable to the Variable Account. Based upon these expectations,
no charge is currently being made against the Variable Account for federal
income taxes. If, however, the Company determines that on a separate company
basis such taxes may be incurred, it reserves the right to assess a charge for
such taxes against the Variable Account.
The Company may also incur state and local taxes (in addition to premium taxes)
in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant. If they
increase, however, charges for such taxes may be made.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The foregoing discussion is general and is not intended as tax advice. Counsel
and other competent advisors should be consulted for more complete information.
This discussion is based on the Company's understanding of Federal income tax
laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No
representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of these current
laws and interpretations.
THE COMPANY
The life insurance business, which includes product lines in health insurance
and annuities, is the only business in which the Company is engaged.
The Company markets its Policies through independent insurance brokers, general
agents, and registered representatives of registered NASD broker/dealer firms.
The Company, in common with other insurance companies, is subject to regulation
and supervision by the regulatory authorities of the states in which it is
licensed to do business. A license from the state
35
<PAGE> 41
insurance department is a prerequisite to the transaction of insurance business
in that state. In general, all states have statutory administrative powers. Such
regulation relates, among other things, to licensing of insurers and their
agents, the approval of policy forms, the methods of computing reserves, the
form and content of statutory financial statements, the amount of policyholders'
and stockholders' dividends, and the type of distribution of investments
permitted.
The Company operates in the highly competitive field of life insurance. There
are approximately 2,300 stock, mutual and other types of insurers in the life
insurance business in the United States, and a large number of them compete with
the registrant in the sale of insurance policies.
As is customary in insurance company groups, employees are shared with the other
insurance companies in the group. In addition to its direct salaried employees,
the Company shares employees with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and
Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
The Company does not presently own or lease any materially important physical
properties when its property holdings are viewed in relation to its total
assets. The Company shares home office, other facilities and equipment with
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company.
COMPANY MANAGEMENT
Nationwide Life Insurance Company, together with Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Company, Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Nationwide Indemnity Company,
Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company, Nationwide Property and Casualty
Insurance Company, National Casualty Company, West Coast Life Insurance Company,
Scottsdale Indemnity Company and Nationwide General Insurance Company and their
affiliated companies comprise the Nationwide Insurance Enterprise.
The companies comprising the Nationwide Insurance Enterprise have substantially
common boards of directors and officers. Nationwide Corporation is the sole
shareholder of Nationwide Life.

the Company for the preceding year and its financial condition as of the end of
such year. Regulation by the Insurance Department includes periodic examination
to determine the Company's contract liabilities and reserves so that the
Insurance Department may certify the items are correct. The Company's books and
accounts are subject to review by the Insurance Department at all times and a
full examination of its operations is conducted periodically by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners. Such regulation does not, however,
involve any supervision of management or investment practices or policies. In
addition, the Company is subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other
jurisdictions in which it may operate.
REPORTS TO POLICY OWNERS
The Company will mail to the Policy Owner, at the last known address of record,
an annual statement showing the amount of the current Death Benefit, the Cash

Variable Account and in each sub-account of the Variable Account, and any Policy
debt, as well as interest on the debt for the preceding year.
Policy Owners will also be sent annual and semi-annual reports containing
financial statements for the Variable Account as required by the 1940 Act.
38

APPENDIX 1
ILLUSTRATIONS OF WHEN ADDITIONAL
PREMIUM PAYMENTS ARE PERMITTED
Example 1: A male non-tobacco, age 35, purchases a Policy with an initial
premium of $25,000 and selects Death Benefit Option 1. The initial premium is
treated as 100% of the Guideline Single Premium which results in a Specified
Amount of $179,733. In the 12th and subsequent policy years, annual premiums of
$2,177 may be paid without violating the premium limitations prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service to qualify the Policy as a life insurance contract.
Additional premiums which increase the Specified Amount may be made at any time,
subject to the $1,000 minimum. The Company reserves the right to require
satisfactory evidence of insurability with any premium payment which increases
the net amount at risk. In addition, premium payments may be made at any time if
they are required to continue the Policy in force.
Example 2: A male non-tobacco, age 55, purchases a Policy with an initial
premium of $100,000 and selects Death Benefit Option 1. The initial premium is
treated as 100% of the Guideline Single Premium which results in a Specified
Amount of $306,283. In the 11th and subsequent policy years, annual premiums of
$9,591 may be paid without violating the premium limitations prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service to qualify the Policy as a life insurance contract.
Additional premiums which increase the Specified Amount may be made at any time,
subject to the $1,000 minimum. The Company reserves the right to require
satisfactory evidence of insurability with any premium payment which increases
the net amount at risk. In addition, premium payments may be made at any time if
they are required to continue the Policy in force.

APPENDIX 2
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUES,
CASH SURRENDER VALUES,
AND DEATH BENEFITS
The illustrations in this prospectus have been prepared to help show how values
under the Policies change with investment performance. The illustrations
illustrate how Cash Values, Cash Surrender Values and Death Benefits under a
Policy would vary over time if the hypothetical gross investment rates of return
were a uniform annual effective rate of either 0%, 6% or 12%. If the
hypothetical gross investment rate of return averages 0%, 6% or 12% over a
period of years, but fluctuates above or below those averages for individual
years, the Cash Values, Cash Surrender Values and Death Benefits may be
different. For hypothetical returns of 0% and 6%, the illustrations also
illustrate when the Policies would go into default, at which time additional
premium payments would be required to continue the Policy in force. The
illustrations also assume there is no Policy Indebtedness, no additional premium
payments are made, no Cash Values are allocated to the Fixed Account, and there
are no changes in the Specified Amount or Death Benefit option.
The amounts shown for the Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value and Death Benefit as
of each Policy Anniversary reflect the fact that the net investment return on
the assets held in the sub-accounts is lower than the gross return. This is due
to the daily charges made against the assets of the sub-accounts for assuming
mortality and expense risks, recovering premium taxes and providing for
administrative expenses. On a current basis, these charges are equivalent to an
annual effective rate of 1.30% in the first 10 policy years and 1.00%
thereafter. On a guaranteed basis, these charges are equivalent to a maximum
annual effective rate of 1.60% in the first 10 policy years and 1.30%
thereafter. In addition, the net investment returns also reflect the deduction
of underlying Mutual Fund investment advisory fees and other expenses which are
equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.80%. This effective rate is based on
the average of the fund expenses for the preceding year for all mutual fund
options available under the policy as of April 30, 1995.
Taking account of the current charges for mortality and expense risks,
recovering premium taxes and providing for administrative and underlying Mutual
Fund expenses, gross annual rates of return of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to net
investment experience at constant annual rates of - 2.10%, 3.90% and 9.90%,
respectively, in policy years one through ten, and -1.80%, 4.20% and 10.20%
thereafter. Taking account of guaranteed charges, gross annual rates of return
of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to net investment experience at constant annual
rates of -2.40%, 3.60% and 9.60%, respectively, in policy years one through ten,
and -2.10%, 3.90% and 9.90% thereafter.
The illustrations also reflect the fact that the Company makes monthly charges
for providing insurance protection. Current values reflect current cost of
insurance charges and guaranteed values reflect the maximum cost of insurance
charges guaranteed in the Policy. The values shown are for policies which are
issued as standard. Policies issued on a substandard basis would result in lower
Cash Values and Death Benefits than those illustrated. Death Benefit Option 1
has been assumed in all the illustrations.
In addition, the illustrations reflect the fact that the Company deducts an
annual administrative charge at the beginning of each Policy Year after the
first. The illustrations also reflect the fact that no charges for federal or
state income taxes are currently made against the Variable Account. If such a
charge is made in the future, it will require a higher gross investment return
than illustrated in order to produce the net after-tax returns shown in the
illustrations.
Upon request, the Company will furnish a comparable illustration based on the
proposed Insured's age, sex, smoking classification, rating classification and
premium payment requested.

APPENDIX 3
The following performance tables display historical investment results of the
underlying Mutual Fund sub-accounts of the Variable Account. This information
may be useful in helping potential investors in deciding which underlying Mutual
Fund sub-accounts to choose and in assessing the competence of the underlying
Mutual Funds' investment advisers. The performance figures shown should be
considered in light of the investment objectives and policies, characteristics
and quality of the underlying portfolios of the underlying Mutual Funds, and the
market conditions during the periods of time quoted. The performance figures
should not be considered as estimates or predictions of future performance.
Investment return and the principal value of the underlying Mutual Fund
sub-accounts are not guaranteed and will fluctuate so that a Policy Owner's
units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

</TABLE>
This table displays three types of total return. Simply stated, total return
shows the percent change in unit values, with dividends and capital gains
reinvested, after the deduction of a 1.30% asset charge (and the deduction of
applicable investment advisory fees and other expenses of the underlying Mutual
Funds). The total return figures shown in the Annual Percentage Change and
Annualized Percentage Change columns represent annualized figures, i.e., they
show the rate of growth that would have produced the corresponding cumulative
return had performance been constant over the entire period quoted. The
Non-Annualized Percentage Change total return figures are not annual return
figures but instead represent the total percentage change in unit value over the
stated periods without annualization. THE TOTAL RETURN FIGURES DO NOT TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THE SEVERAL OTHER POLICY CHARGES WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN THE "POLICY
CHARGES" SECTION. THESE OTHER CHARGES INCLUDE COST OF INSURANCE CHARGES,
SURRENDER CHARGES AND AN ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE.
*The underlying Mutual Fund Inception Date is the date the underlying Mutual
Fund first became effective, which is not necessarily the same date the
underlying Mutual Fund was first made available through the Variable Account.
For those underlying Mutual Funds which have not been offered as sub-accounts
through the Variable Account for one of the quoted periods, the total return
figures will show the investment performance such underlying Mutual Funds would
have achieved (reduced by the 1.30% asset charge and underlying Mutual Fund
investment advisory fees and expenses) had they been offered as sub-accounts
through the Variable Account for the period quoted. Certain underlying Mutual
Funds are not as old as some of the periods quoted, therefore, total return
figures may not be available for all of the periods shown.

This table shows the effect of the performance quoted on accumulated values and
cash surrender values, based on a hypothetical single premium of $50,000 for a
50 year-old male, non-tobacco simplified, with a level death benefit and an
initial specified amount of $187,451.64. The cash surrender values reflect the
deduction of all applicable Policy Charges, including a 1.30% asset charge,
applicable cost of insurance charges, surrender charges, and an annual
administrative charge (and the deduction of applicable investment advisory fees
and other expenses of the underlying underlying Mutual Funds). See the "Policy
Charges" section for more information about these charges. The cost of insurance
charges may be higher or lower for purchasers who do not meet the profile of the
hypothetical purchaser. Illustrations reflecting a potential purchaser's
specific characteristics are available from the Company upon request.
** The underlying Mutual Inception Date is the date the underlying Mutual Fund
first became effective, which is not necessarily the same date the underlying
Mutual Fund was first made available through the Variable Account. For those
underlying Mutual Funds which have not been offered as sub-accounts through the
Variable Account for one of the quoted periods, the cash values will show the
investment performance such underlying Mutual Funds would have achieved (reduced
by any applicable Variable Account and Policy Charges, and underlying Mutual
Fund investment advisory fees and expenses) had they been offered as
sub-accounts through the Variable Account for the period quoted. Certain
underlying Mutual Funds are not as old as some of the periods quoted, therefore,
the cash values may not be available for all of the periods shown.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Contract Owners of
Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2
Nationwide Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and
contract owners' equity of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 as of December 31,
1994, and the related statements of operations and changes in contract owners'
equity for each of the years in the three year period then ended. 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. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1994, by correspondence with
the custodian and the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds. 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 Nationwide VLI Separate
Account-2 as of December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its
changes in contract owners' equity for each of the years in the three year
period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in
Schedule I is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

At December 31, 1994, contract owners have invested in all of the above
funds. The contract owners' equity is affected by the investment results of each
fund and certain policy charges (see note 2). The accompanying financial
statements include only contract owners' purchase payments pertaining to the
variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for fixed
dollar benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.
(c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income
The market value of investments is based on the closing net asset value
per share at December 31, 1994. Fund purchases and sales are accounted for on
the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). The cost of
investments sold is determined on a specific identification basis, and dividends
(which include capital gain distributions) are accrued as of the ex-dividend
date.
(d) Federal Income Taxes
The operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the
operations of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Currently, no charge is being made to the Account for Federal income
taxes, or reserves for such taxes, which may be attributed to the Account.
However, the Company reserves the right to make such charges in the future.
(2) POLICY CHARGES
(a) Deductions from Premiums
On multiple payment contracts and flexible premium contracts, the Company
deducts a charge for state premium taxes equal to 2.5% of all premiums received
to cover the payment of these premium taxes. The Company also deducts a sales
load from each premium payment received not to exceed 3.5% of each premium
payment. The Company may at its sole discretion reduce this sales loading.
(b) Cost of Insurance
A cost of insurance charge is assessed monthly against each contract by
liquidating units. The amount of the charge is based upon age, sex, rate class
and net amount at risk (death benefit less total contract value).
(c) Administrative Charges
For single premium contracts, the Company deducts an annual administrative
charge which is determined as follows:
Contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990:
Purchase payments totalling less than $25,000 - $10/month
Purchase payments totalling $25,000 or more - none
Contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990:
Purchase payments totalling less than $25,000 - $90/year ($65/year in
New York)
Purchase payments totalling $25,000 or more - $50/year
For multiple payment contracts, the Company currently deducts a monthly
administrative charge of $5 (may deduct up to $7.50, maximum) to recover policy
maintenance, accounting, record keeping and other administrative expenses.
For flexible premium contracts, the Company currently deducts a monthly
administrative charge of $25 during the first policy year and $5 per month
thereafter (may deduct up to $7.50, maximum) to recover policy maintenance,
accounting, record keeping and other administrative expenses. Additionally, the
Company deducts an increase charge of $2.04 per year per $1,000 applied to any
increase in the specified amount during the first 12 months after the increase
becomes effective.
The above charges are assessed against each contract by liquidating units.
(d) Surrenders
Policy surrenders result in a redemption of the contract value from the
Account and payment of the surrender proceeds to the contract owner or designee.
The surrender proceeds consist of the contract value, less any outstanding
policy loans, and less a surrender charge, if applicable. The charge is
determined according to contract type.
For single premium contracts, the charge is determined based upon a
specified percentage of the original purchase payment. For single premium
contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, the charge is 8% in the first year and
declines to 0% after the ninth year. For single premium contracts issued on or
after April 16, 1990, the charge is 8.5% in the first year, and declines to 0%
after the ninth year.
62
<PAGE> 68
For multiple payment contracts and flexible premium contracts, the amount
charged is based upon a specified percentage of the initial surrender charge,
which varies by issue age, sex and rate class. The charge is 100% of the initial
surrender charge in the first year, declining to 0% after the ninth year.
The Company may waive the surrender charge for certain contracts in which
the sales expenses normally associated with the distribution of a contract are
not incurred.
(3) ASSET CHARGES
For single premium contracts, the Company deducts a charge from the
contract to cover mortality and expense risk charges related to operations, and
to recover policy maintenance and premium tax charges. For contracts issued
prior to April 16, 1990, the charge is equal to an annual rate of .95% during
the first ten policy years, and .50% thereafter. A reduction of charges on these
contracts is possible in policy years six through ten for those contracts
achieving certain investment performance criteria. For single premium contracts
issued on or after April 16, 1990, the charge is equal to an annual rate of
1.30% during the first ten policy years, and 1.00% thereafter.
For multiple payment contracts and flexible premium contracts the Company
deducts a charge equal to an annual rate of .80%, with certain exceptions, to
cover mortality and expense risk charges related to operations.
The above charges are assessed through the daily unit value calculation.
(4) DEATH BENEFITS
Death benefits result in a redemption of the contract value from the
Account and payment of the death benefit proceeds, less any outstanding policy
loans (and policy charges), to the legal beneficiary. The excess of the death
benefit proceeds over the contract value on the date of death is paid by the
Company's general account.
(5) POLICY LOANS (NET OF REPAYMENTS)
Contract provisions allow contract owners to borrow up to 90% (50% during
first year of single premium contracts) of a policy's cash surrender value. For
single premium contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, 6.5% interest is due
and payable annually in advance. For single premium contracts issued on or after
April 16, 1990, multiple payment contracts and flexible premium contracts, 6%
interest is due and payable in advance on the policy anniversary when there is a
loan outstanding on the policy.
At the time the loan is granted, the amount of the loan is transferred
from the Account to the Company's general account as collateral for the
outstanding loan. Collateral amounts in the general account are credited with
the stated rate of interest in effect at the time the loan is made, subject to a
guaranteed minimum rate. Loan repayments result in a transfer of collateral,
including interest, back to the Account.
(6) SCHEDULE I
Schedule I presents the components of the change in the unit values, which
are the basis for determining contract owners' equity. This schedule is
presented for each series, as applicable, in the following format:
- Beginning unit value - Jan. 1
- Reinvested dividends and capital gains
(This amount reflects the increase in the unit value due to
dividend and capital gain distributions from the underlying mutual
fund.)
- Unrealized gain (loss)
(This amount reflects the increase (decrease) in the unit value
resulting from the market appreciation (depreciation) of the fund.)
- Asset charges
(This amount reflects the decrease in the unit value due to the
charges discussed in note 3.)
- Ending unit value - Dec. 31
- Percentage increase (decrease) in unit value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Nationwide Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nationwide Life
Insurance Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation) and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholder's equity and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Participating insurance and the related surplus are discussed in note 13. The
Company and its counsel are of the opinion that the ultimate ownership of the
participating surplus in excess of the contemplated equitable policyholder
dividends belongs to the shareholder. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are presented on such basis.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nationwide Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994 the
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
In 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes and SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
(000 s omitted)
(1) Organization and Description of Business
----------------------------------------
Nationwide Life Insurance Company (NLIC) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation (Corp.). Wholly-owned
subsidiaries of NLIC include Financial Horizons Life Insurance
Company (FHLIC), West Coast Life Insurance Company (WCLIC), National
Casualty Company and subsidiaries (NCC), Nationwide Financial
Services, Inc. (NFS), and effective December 31, 1994, Employers Life
Insurance Company of Wausau and subsidiary (ELICW). NLIC and its
subsidiaries are collectively referred to as "the Company".
NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC and ELICW are life and accident and health
insurers and NCC is a property and casualty insurer. The Company is
licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico. The Company offers a full range of life,
health and annuity products through exclusive agents and other
distribution channels and is subject to competition from other
insurers throughout the United States. The Company is subject to
regulation by the Insurance Departments of states in which it is
licensed, and undergoes periodic examinations by those departments.
The following is a description of the most significant risks facing
life and health insurers and how the Company mitigates those risks:
LEGAL/REGULATORY RISK is the risk that changes in the legal
or regulatory environment in which an insurer operates will create
additional expenses not anticipated by the insurer in pricing
its products. That is, regulatory initiatives designed to
reduce insurer profits, new legal theories or insurance
company insolvencies through guaranty fund assessments may create
costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company mitigates this risk by offering
a wide range of products and by operating throughout the United
States, thus reducing its exposure to any single product or
jurisdiction, and also by employing underwriting practices
which identify and minimize the adverse impact of this risk.
CREDIT RISK is the risk that issuers of securities owned by the
Company or mortgagors on mortgage loans on real estate owned by the
Company will default or that other parties, including reinsurers,
which owe the Company money, will not pay. The Company minimizes
this risk by adhering to a conservative investment strategy, by
maintaining sound reinsurance and credit and collection policies
and by providing for any amounts deemed uncollectible.
INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk that interest rates will change
and cause a decrease in the value of an insurer's investments.
This change in rates may cause certain interest-sensitive
products to become uncompetitive or may cause disintermediation.
The Company mitigates this risk by charging fees for
non-conformance with certain policy provisions, by offering
products that transfer this risk to the purchaser, and/or by
attempting to match the maturity schedule of its assets with the
expected payouts of its liabilities. To the extent that
liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, an insurer
would have to borrow funds or sell assets prior to maturity and
potentially recognize a gain or loss.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that
materially affect financial reporting are summarized below. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which
differ from statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
regulatory authorities. See note 4.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in
determining the liability for future policy benefits and claims and
those used in determining valuation allowances for mortgage loans on
real estate and real estate. Although some variability is inherent in
these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are adequate.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(a) Consolidation Policy
--------------------
The December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of NLIC and its
wholly owned subsidiaries FHLIC, WCLIC, NCC and NFS. The
December 31, 1994 consolidated balance sheet also
includes the accounts of ELICW, which was acquired by
NLIC effective December 31, 1994. See Note 14. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
(b) Valuation of Investments and Related Gains and Losses
-----------------------------------------------------
Prior to January 1, 1994, the Company classified fixed
maturities in accordance with the then existing accounting
standards, and accordingly, fixed maturity securities were
carried at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of
premium or discount, since the Company had both the
ability and intent to hold those securities until
maturity. Equity securities were carried at fair value
with the unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred
Federal income tax, reported as a separate component of
shareholder's equity.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS NO. 115 - ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN
DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES (SFAS 115). SFAS 115
requires fixed maturities and equity securities to be
classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale,
or trading. The Company has no trading securities. The
Company adopted SFAS 115 as of January 1, 1994, with no
effect on consolidated net income. See note 3 regarding
the effect on consolidated shareholder's equity.
Fixed maturity securities are classified as held-to-
maturity when the Company has the positive intent
and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are
stated at amortized cost. Fixed maturity securities not
classified as held-to-maturity and all equity securities
are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at
fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of
adjustments to deferred policy acquisition costs and
deferred Federal income tax, reported as a separate
component of shareholder's equity. The adjustment to
deferred policy acquisition costs represents the change
in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs that
would have been required as a charge or credit to
operations had such unrealized amounts been realized.
Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at the unpaid
principal balance less valuation allowances. The Company
provides valuation allowances for impairments of
mortgage loans on real estate based on a review by
portfolio managers. Loans in foreclosure and loans
considered in-substance foreclosed as of the balance
sheet date are placed on non-accrual status and written
down to the fair value of the existing property to
derive a new cost basis. Real estate is carried at
cost less accumulated depreciation and valuation
allowances. Other long-term investments are carried on
the equity basis, adjusted for valuation allowances.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are
determined on the basis of specific security
identification. Estimates for valuation allowances and
other than temporary declines are included in realized
gains and losses on investments.
In May, 1993, the FASB issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 114 - ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS
FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN (SFAS 114). SFAS 114, which
was amended by STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS NO. 118 - ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR
IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN - INCOME RECOGNITION AND
DISCLOSURE in October, 1994, requires the measurement of
impaired loans be based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the
loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The
impact on the consolidated financial statements of
adopting SFAS 114 as amended is not expected to be
material. Previously issued consolidated financial
statements shall not be restated. The Company will adopt
SFAS 114 as amended in 1995.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(c) Revenues and Benefits
---------------------
TRADITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: Traditional life
insurance products include those products with fixed and
guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of
whole life, limited-payment life, term life and certain
annuities with life contingencies. Premiums for
traditional life insurance products are recognized as
revenue when due and collected. Benefits and expenses
are associated with earned premiums so as to result in
recognition of profits over the life of the contract.
This association is accomplished by the provision for
future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization
of policy acquisition costs.
UNIVERSAL LIFE AND INVESTMENT PRODUCTS: Universal life
products include universal life, variable universal life
and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies.
Investment products consist primarily of individual and
group deferred annuities, annuities without life
contingencies and guaranteed investment contracts.
Revenues for universal life and investment products
consist of cost of insurance, policy administration and
surrender charges that have been earned and assessed
against policy account balances during the period.
Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense
include benefits and claims incurred in the period in
excess of related policy account balances and interest
credited to policy account balances.
ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE: Accident and health
insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the
terms of the policies. Policy claims are charged to
expense in the period that the claims are incurred.
(d) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
---------------------------------
The costs of acquiring new business, principally
commissions, certain expenses of the policy issue
and underwriting department and certain variable
agency expenses have been deferred. For traditional
life and individual health insurance products, these
deferred acquisition costs are predominantly being
amortized with interest over the premium paying period
of the related policies in proportion to the ratio of
actual annual premium revenue to the anticipated total
premium revenue. Such anticipated premium revenue was
estimated using the same assumptions as were used for
computing liabilities for future policy benefits. For
universal life and investment products, deferred policy
acquisition costs are being amortized with interest over
the lives of the policies in relation to the present
value of estimated future gross profits from projected
interest margins, cost of insurance, policy
administration and surrender charges. For years in
which gross profits are negative, deferred policy
acquisition costs are amortized based on the present
value of gross revenues. Beginning January 1, 1994,
deferred policy acquisition costs are adjusted to
reflect the impact of unrealized gains and losses on
fixed maturity securities available-for-sale. See note
2(b).
(e) Separate Accounts
-----------------
Separate Account assets and liabilities represent
contractholders' funds which have been segregated into
accounts with specific investment objectives. The
investment income and gains or losses of these accounts
accrue directly to the contractholders. The activity of
the Separate Accounts is not reflected in the
consolidated statements of income and cash flows except
for the fees the Company receives for administrative
services and risks assumed.
(f) Future Policy Benefits
----------------------
Future policy benefits for traditional life and individual
health policies have been calculated using a net level
premium method based on estimates of mortality,
morbidity, investment yields and withdrawals which were
used or which were being experienced at the time the
policies were issued, rather than the assumptions
prescribed by state regulatory authorities. See note 6.
Future policy benefits for annuity policies in the
accumulation phase, universal life and variable universal
life policies have been calculated based on participants'
contributions plus interest credited less applicable
contract charges.
Future policy benefits and claims for group long-term
disability policies are the present value (primarily
discounted at 5.5%) of amounts not yet due on reported
claims and an estimate of amounts to be paid on incurred
but unreported claims. The impact of reserve discounting
is not material. Future policy benefits and claims on
other group health policies are not discounted.

(g) Participating Business
----------------------
Participating business represents approximately 45%
(48% in 1993 and 1992) of the Company's ordinary
life insurance in force, 72% (72% in 1993; 71% in 1992)
of the number of policies in force, and 41% (45% in 1993
and 1992) of life insurance premiums. The provision for
policyholder dividends is based on current dividend
scales. Future dividends are provided for ratably in
future policy benefits based on dividend scales in effect
at the time the policies were issued. Dividend scales are
approved by the Board of Directors.
Income attributable to participating policies in excess
of policyholder dividends is accounted for as belonging to
the shareholder. See note 13.
(h) Federal Income Tax
------------------
NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC and NCC file a consolidated Federal
income tax return with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
(NMIC), the majority shareholder of Corp. Through 1994,
ELICW filed a consolidated Federal income tax return with
Employers Insurance of Wausau A Mutual Company.
Beginning in 1995, ELICW will file a separate Federal
income tax return.
In 1993, the Company adopted STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 109 - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME
TAXES, which required a change from the deferred method
of accounting for income tax of APB Opinion 11 to the
asset and liability method of accounting for income tax.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases
and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under this
method, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to
be realized.
Prior to 1993, the Company applied the deferred method
of accounting for income tax which recognized deferred
income tax for income and expense items that are reported
in different years for financial reporting purposes and
income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for
the year of calculation. Under the deferred method,
deferred tax is not adjusted for subsequent changes in tax
rates. See note 7.
The Company has reported the cumulative effect of the
change in method of accounting for income tax in the
1993 consolidated statement of income. See note 3.
(i) Reinsurance Ceded
-----------------
Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries
on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the
respective income and expense accounts. Assets and
liabilities related to reinsurance ceded are reported on
a gross basis.
(j) Cash Equivalents
----------------
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash
flows, the Company considers all short-term investments
with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
(k) Reclassification
----------------
Certain items in the 1993 and 1992 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.

(3) Changes in Accounting Principles
--------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed its method of
accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities in
connection with the issuance of a new accounting standard by the FASB
as described in Note 2(b). As of January 1, 1994, the company
classified fixed maturity securities with amortized cost and fair value
of $6,593,844 and $7,024,736, respectively, as available-for-sale
and recorded the securities at fair value. Previously, these
securities were recorded at amortized cost. The effect as of January
1, 1994 has been recorded as a direct credit to shareholder's equity
as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Excess of fair value over amortized cost of fixed maturity

</TABLE>
During 1993, the Company adopted accounting principles in
connection with the issuance of two accounting standards by the FASB.
The effect as of January 1, 1993, the date of adoption, has been
recognized in the 1993 consolidated statement of income as the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, as follows:

(4) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Annual Statements for NLIC and FHLIC, WCLIC,
ELICW and NCC, filed with the Department ofInsurance of the State of
Ohio, California Department of Insurance, Wisconsin Insurance
Department and Michigan Bureau of Insurance, respectively, are prepared
on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
such regulatory authorities. Prescribed statutory accounting
practices include a variety of publications of the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), as well as state laws, regulations
and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed. The
Company has no material permitted statutory accounting practices.

Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale during
1994 were $247,876, while proceeds from sales of investments in
fixed maturity securities during 1993 were $33,959 ($123,422 during
1992). Gross gains of $3,406 ($2,413 in 1993 and $3,194 in 1992) and
gross losses of $21,866 ($39 in 1993 and $513 in 1992) were realized
on those sales.
Investments that were non-income producing for the twelve month
period preceding December 31, 1994 amounted to $11,513 ($13,158 for
1993) and consisted of $11,111 ($10,907 in 1993) in real estate and
$402 ($2,251 in 1993) in other long-term investments.
Real estate is presented at cost less accumulated depreciation of
$29,275 in 1994 ($24,717 in 1993) and valuation allowances of $27,330
in 1994 ($31,357 in 1993). Other valuation allowances are $0 in 1994
($6,680 in 1993) on fixed maturities and $47,892 in 1994 ($42,350 in
1993) on mortgage loans on real estate.

The Company generally initiates foreclosure proceedings on all
mortgage loans on real estate delinquent sixty days. Foreclosures
of mortgage loans on real estate were $37,187 in 1994 ($39,281 in
1993) and mortgage loans on real estate in process of foreclosure or
in-substance foreclosed as of December 31, 1994 totaled $19,878
($24,658 as of December 31, 1993), which approximates fair value.
Investments with an amortized cost of $11,137 and $11,383 as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were on deposit with various
regulatory agencies as required by law.
(6) Future Policy Benefits and Claims
---------------------------------
The liability for future policy benefits for traditional life and
individual health policies has been established based upon the
following assumptions:
Interest rates: Interest rates vary as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Year of issue Life Health
------------- ---- ------
<S> <C> <C>
1994 7.2 %, not graded - permanent contracts with loan provisions; 5.0%
6.0%, not graded - all other contracts
1984-1993 7.4% to 10.5%, not graded 5.0% to 6%
1966-1983 6% to 8.1%, graded over 20 years to 4% to 6.6% 3.5% to 6%
1965 and prior generally lower than post 1965 issues 3.5% to 4%
</TABLE>
Withdrawals: Rates, which vary by issue age, type of coverage
and policy duration, are based on Company experience.
Mortality: Mortality and morbidity rates are based on
published tables, modified for the Company's actual experience.
The liability for future policy benefits for investment contracts
(approximately 81% and 80% of the total liability for future policy
benefits as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively) has been
established based on policy term, interest rates and various contract
provisions. The average interest rate credited on investment product
policies was 6.5%, 7.0% and 7.5% for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
Future policy benefits and claims for group long-term disability
policies are the present value (primarily discounted at 5.5%) of
amounts not yet due on reported claims and an estimate of amounts to be
paid on incurred but unreported claims. The impact of reserve
discounting is not material. Future policy benefits and claims on
other group health policies are not discounted.
Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment
expenses is summarized for the years ended December 31:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
As a result of changes in estimates for insured events of prior
years, the provision for claims and claim adjustment expenses
decreased in each of the three years ended December 31, 1994 due to
lower-than-anticipated costs to settle accident and health claims.
(7) Federal Income Tax
------------------
Prior to 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act of 1959 as
amended by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (DRA), permitted the
deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory income under certain
circumstances. In these situations, the deferred income was
accumulated in the Policyholders' Surplus Account (PSA). Management
considers the likelihood of distributions from the PSA to be remote;
therefore, no Federal income tax has been provided for such
distributions in the consolidated financial statements. The DRA
eliminated any additional deferrals to the PSA. Any distributions
from the PSA, however, will continue to be taxable at the then current
tax rate. The balance of the PSA is approximately $35,344 as of
December 31, 1994.
The Company adopted STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO.
109 - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES (SFAS 109), as of January 1, 1993.
See note 3. The 1992 consolidated financial statements have not
been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS 109.
The significant components of deferred income tax expense for the years
ended December 31 are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1994 1993

$9,657 31,634
====== ======
</TABLE>
For the year ended December 31, 1992, the deferred income tax
benefit results from timing differences in the recognition of
income and expense for income tax and financial reporting purposes.
The primary sources of those timing differences were deferred policy
acquisition costs (deferred expense of $16,457) and reserves for future
policy benefits (deferred benefit of $32,045).
Total Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992 differs from the amount computed by applying the
U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before tax as follows:

</TABLE>
The Company has determined that valuation allowances are not
necessary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and January 1, 1993 (date of
adoption of SFAS 109) based on its analysis of future deductible
amounts. All future deductible amounts can be offset by future
taxable amounts or recovery of Federal income tax paid within the
statutory carryback period. In addition, for future deductible
amounts for securities available-for-sale, affiliates of the Company
which are included in the same consolidated Federal income tax return
hold investments that could be sold for capital gains that could offset
capital losses realized by the Company should securities
available-for-sale be sold at a loss.
(8) Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------------------------
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 107 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (SFAS 107) requires disclosure of
fair value information about existing on and off-balance sheet financial
instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation
techniques.
These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used,
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.
Although fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions that
management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions could cause
these estimates to vary materially. In that regard, the derived fair
value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent
markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in the immediate
settlement of the instruments. SFAS 107 excludes certain assets and
liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying
value of the Company.
Although insurance contracts, other than policies such as annuities that
are classified as investment contracts, are specifically exempted from
SFAS 107 disclosures, estimated fair value of policy reserves on
insurance contracts are provided to make the fair value disclosures more
meaningful.
The tax ramifications of the related unrealized gains and losses can
have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been
considered in the estimates.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures:
CASH, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND POLICY LOANS: The carrying
amount reported in the balance sheets for these instruments
approximate their fair value.
87
<PAGE> 93
NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Fair value for fixed maturity
securities is based on quoted market prices, where available.
For fixed maturity securities not actively traded, fair value is
estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services
or, in the case of private placements, is estimated by
discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate
applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the
investments. The fair value for equity securities is based on quoted
market prices.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES: The fair value of assets
held in Separate Accounts is based on quoted market prices.
The fair value of liabilities related to Separate Accounts is the
amount payable on demand.
MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE: The fair value for mortgage loans on
real estate is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans
to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar
characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.
Fair value for mortgages in default is valued at the estimated fair
value of the underlying collateral.
INVESTMENT CONTRACTS: Fair value for the Company's liabilities
under investment type contracts is disclosed using two methods.
For investment contracts without defined maturities, fair value
is the amount payable on demand. For investment contracts with
known or determined maturities, fair value is estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis. Interest rates used are similar
to currently offered contracts with maturities consistent with
those remaining for the contracts being valued.
POLICY RESERVES ON INSURANCE CONTRACTS: Included are disclosures
for individual life, universal life and supplementary contracts with
life contingencies for which the estimated fair value is the
amount payable on demand. Also included are disclosures for the
Company's limited payment policies, which the Company has used
discounted cash flow analyses similar to those used for investment
contracts with known maturities to estimate fair value.
POLICYHOLDERS DIVIDEND ACCUMULATIONS AND OTHER POLICYHOLDER
FUNDS: The carrying amount reported in the consolidated
balance sheets for these instruments approximates their fair value.
Carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments
subject to SFAS 107 and policy reserves on insurance contracts were as
follows as of December 31:

(9) Additional Financial Instruments Disclosures
--------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK: The Company is a
party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business through management of its investment
portfolio. These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit in the form of loans. These instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts
recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
Commitments to fund fixed rate mortgage loans on real estate are
agreements to lend to a borrower, and are subject to conditions
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a deposit. Commitments extended by the Company are based on
management's case-by-case credit evaluation of the borrower and
the borrower's loan collateral. The underlying mortgage property
represents the collateral if the commitment is funded. The Company's
policy for new mortgage loans on real estate is to lend no more than
80% of collateral value. Should the commitment be funded, the
Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the borrower is represented by the contractual amounts of these
commitments less the net realizable value of the collateral. The
contractual amounts also represent the cash requirements for all
unfunded commitments. Commitments on mortgage loans on real estate
of $243,200 extending into 1995 were outstanding as of December 31,
1994.
SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: The Company grants mainly
commercial mortgage loans on real estate to customers throughout the
United States. The Company has a diversified portfolio with no more
than 22% (23% in 1993) in any geographic area and no more than 2%
(2% in 1993) with any one borrower. The summary below depicts loans
by remaining principal balance as of each December 31:

(10) Pension Plan
------------
NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC, NCC, and NFS participate together with other
affiliated companies, in a pension plan covering all employees who
have completed at least one thousand hours of service within a
twelve-month period and who have met certain age requirements. Plan
contributions are invested in a group annuity contract of NLIC.
Benefits are based upon the highest average annual salary of any
three consecutive years of the last ten years of service. The Company
funds pension costs accrued for direct employees plus an allocation of
pension costs accrued for employees of affiliates whose work efforts
benefit the Company.
Pension costs charged to operations by the Company during the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $10,451, $6,702 and
$4,613, respectively.
The Company's net accrued pension expense as of December 31, 1994
and 1993 was $1,836 and $1,472, respectively.
The net periodic pension cost for the plan as a whole for the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 follows:

(11) Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
-------------------------------------------
In addition to the defined benefit pension plan, NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC,
NCC and NFS participate with other affiliated companies in life and
health care defined benefit plans for qualifying retirees.
Postretirement life and health care benefits are contributory and
available to full time employees who have attained age 55 and
have accumulated 15 years of service with the Company after reaching
age 40. Postretirement life insurance contributions are based on age
and coverage amount of each retiree. Postretirement health care
benefit contributions are adjusted annually and contain cost-sharing
features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The accounting for the
health care plan anticipates future cost-sharing changes to the
written plan that are consistent with the Company's expressed intent
to increase the retiree contribution amount annually for expected
health care inflation. The Company's policy is to fund the cost of
health care benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of
management. The Company began funding in 1994. Plan assets are
invested in group annuity contracts of NLIC.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 106 - EMPLOYERS'
ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (SFAS 106),
which requires the accrual method of accounting for postretirement
life and health care insurance benefits based on actuarially
determined costs to be recognized over the period from the date of
hire to the full eligibility date of employees who are expected to
qualify for such benefits. Postretirement benefit cost for 1992, which
was recorded on a cash basis, has not been restated.
The Company elected to immediately recognize its estimated accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of January 1, 1993. Accordingly,
a noncash charge of $32,275 ($20,979 net of related income tax
benefit) was recorded in the consolidated statement of income as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See note 3.
The adoption of SFAS 106, including the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle, increased the expense for
postretirement benefits by $35,277 to $36,544 in 1993. Net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1994 was $4,627. The Company's
accrued postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 and
1993 was $36,001 and $35,277, respectively.
Actuarial assumptions for the measurement of the December 31, 1994
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation include a discount rate
of 8% and an assumed health care cost trend rate of 11%, uniformly
declining to an ultimate rate of 6% over 12 years.
Actuarial assumptions for the measurement of the December 31, 1993
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the 1994 net
periodic postretirement benefit cost include a discount rate of 7% and
an assumed health care cost trend rate of 12%, uniformly declining to
an ultimate rate of 6% over 12 years.
Actuarial assumptions used to determine the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of January 1, 1993 and the 1993 net periodic
postretirement benefit cost include a discount rate of 8% and an
assumed health care cost trend rate of 14%, uniformly declining to an
ultimate rate of 6% over 12 years.

December 31, 1994 and 1993 follows:

</TABLE>
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect
on the amounts reported. A one percentage point increase in the
assumed health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 by
$8,109 and $15,621, respectively, and the net periodic postretirement
benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 by $866 and
$2,377, respectively.
(12) Portfolio Transfer of Credit Life and Credit Accident and Health
On March 13, 1992, WCLIC entered into an assignment and assumption
agreement with American Bankers Life Assurance Company of Florida
(ABLAC) under which ABLAC assumed, by portfolio transfer, substantially
all of WCLIC's credit life and accident and health policies in force as
of January 1, 1992. A pre-tax loss of approximately $15,000 was
recognized from this transaction in 1992. The loss represents
approximately $34,000 of amortization of deferred policy acquisition
costs, less approximately $27,000 in ceded commissions earned, plus
death benefits incurred and other expenses. Under the terms defined in
the assignment and assumption agreement, WCLIC is contingently liable
for adverse development of claims activity up to a defined limit. As
of December 31, 1994, WCLIC has provided for a contingent liability
based on the development of claims experience through December 31,
1994. As of December 31, 1993, WCLIC had provided for the maximum
contingent liability in the absence of conclusive claims experience
development.
(13) Regulatory Risk-Based Capital, Retained Earnings and Dividend
Restrictions
Each insurance company's state of domicile imposes minimum risk-based
capital requirements that were developed by the NAIC. The
formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify
various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or
various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk.
Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of the company's
regulatory total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its
authorized control level risk-based capital, as defined by the NAIC.
Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified
within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective
action. NLIC and each of its insurance subsidiaries exceed the minimum
risk-based capital requirements.
In accordance with the requirements of the New York statutes, the
Company has agreed with the Superintendent of Insurance of that state
that so long as participating policies and contracts are held by
residents of New York, no profits on participating policies and
contracts in excess of the larger of (a) ten percent of such profits or
(b) fifty cents per year per thousand dollars of participating life
insurance in force, exclusive of group term, at the year-end shall
inure to the benefit of the shareholders. Such New York statutes
further provide that so long as such agreement is in effect, such
excess of profits shall be exhibited as "participating policyholders'
surplus" in annual statements filed with the Superintendent and shall be
used only for the payment or apportionment of dividends to participating
policyholders at least to the extent required by statute or for the
purpose of making up any loss on participating policies.
In the opinion of counsel for the Company, the ultimate ownership of
the entire surplus, however classified, of the Company resides with the
shareholder, subject to the usual requirements under state laws and
regulations that certain deposits, reserves and minimum surplus be
maintained for the protection of the policyholders until all policy
contracts are discharged.

<PAGE> 98
NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Based on the opinion of counsel with respect to the ownership of its
surplus, the Company is of the opinion that the earnings attributable
to participating policies in excess of the amounts paid as dividends
to policyholders belong to the shareholder rather than the
policyholders, and such earnings are so treated by the Company.
The amount of shareholder's equity other than capital shares
was $1,904,664, $1,647,353, and $1,426,427 as of December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The amount thereof not
presently available for dividends to the shareholder due to the New
York restrictions and to adjustments relating to GAAP was $929,934,
$954,037 and $841,583 as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Ohio law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders. The
maximum dividend that may be paid by the Company without prior
approval of the Director of the Department of Insurance of the State
of Ohio is limited to the greater of statutory gain from operations of
the preceding calendar year or 10% of statutory shareholder's surplus
as of the prior December 31. Therefore, $1,707,110, of shareholder's
equity, as presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, is restricted as to dividend payments in 1995.
California law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders of
WCLIC. The maximum dividend that may be paid by WCLIC without
prior approval of the Commissioner of the State of California
Department of Insurance is limited to the greater of WCLIC's
statutory net income of the preceding calendar year or 10% of
WCLIC's statutory shareholder's surplus as of the prior December 31.
Therefore, $126,489 of WCLIC's shareholder's equity is restricted as
to dividend payments in 1995.
Wisconsin law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders of ELICW.
The maximum dividend that may be paid by ELICW without prior approval
of the Commissioner of the State of Wisconsin is limited to the greater
of ELICW's statutory net income of the preceding calendar year or 10%
of ELICW s statutory surplus as of the prior December 31, Therefore,
$135,369 of ELICW's shareholder's equity is restricted as to dividend
payments in 1995.
Michigan law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders of NCC.
The maximum dividend that may be paid by NCC without prior approval
of the Commissioner of the State of Michigan Bureau of Insurance is
limited to the greater of NCC's statutory net income, not including
realized capital gains, of the preceding calendar year or 10% of
NCC's statutory shareholder's surplus as of the prior December 31.
Therefore, $66,564 of NCC's shareholder's equity is restricted as to
dividend payments in 1995. In addition, prior approval is not required
for a dividend which does not increase gross leverage to a point in
excess of the United States consolidated industry average for the most
recent available year.
(14) Transactions With Affiliates
----------------------------
Effective December 31, 1994, NLIC purchased all of the outstanding
shares of ELICW from Wausau Service Corporation (WSC) for an
amount approximating $165,000, subject to specified adjustments, if
any, subsequent to year end. NLIC transferred fixed maturity
securities and cash with a fair value of $155,000 to WSC on
December 28, 1994, which resulted in a realized loss of $19,239 on
the disposition of the securities. An accrual approximating $10,000
is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The
purchase price approximated both the historical cost basis and fair
value of net assets of ELICW. ELICW has and will continue to share
home office, other facilities, equipment and common management and
administrative services with WSC.
The deferred compensation annuity line of business of the Company
is primarily sold through Public Employees Benefit Services
Corporation (PEBSCO). The Company paid PEBSCO commissions and
administrative fees of $26,699, $22,681 and $20,146 in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. PEBSCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Corp.
The Company and NEA Valuebuilder Investor Services, Inc. (NEAVIS) have
contracted with the National Education Association (NEA) to provide
individual annuity contracts to be marketed exclusively to members of
the NEA. The Company paid NEAVIS a marketing development fee of
$11,095, $9,229 and $6,426 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
NEAVIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Corp.
The Company shares home office, other facilities, equipment and
common management and administrative services with affiliates.

The Company participates in intercompany repurchase agreements
with affiliates whereby the seller will transfer securities to the
buyer at a stated value. Upon demand or a stated period, the
securities will be repurchased by the seller at the original sales
price plus a price differential. Transactions under the agreements
during 1994 and 1993 were not material.
During 1993, the Company sold equity securities with a market value
$194,515 to NMIC, resulting in a realized gain of $122,823. With the
proceeds, the Company purchased securities with a market value of
$194,139 and cash of $376 from NMIC.
Intercompany reinsurance contracts exist between NLIC and NMIC,
NLIC and WCLIC, NLIC and NCC, WCLIC and NMIC and WCLIC and
ELICW as of December 31, 1994. These contracts are immaterial to
the consolidated financial statements.
NCC participates in several 100% quota share reinsurance agreements
with NMIC. NCC serves as the licensed insurer as required for an
affiliated excess and surplus lines company and cedes 100% of direct
written premiums to NMIC. In 1989, NCC transferred 100% of assets and
unearned premiums and loss reserves related to a discontinued block of
assumed reinsurance to NMIC (95.3%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire
Insurance Company (4.7%). Effective January 1, 1993, NCC entered into
a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement to cede to NMIC 100% of all
written premiums not subject to any other reinsurance agreements.
As a result of these agreements, and in accordance with STATEMENT OF
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 113 - ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING FOR
REINSURANCE OF SHORT-DURATION AND LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS, the
following amounts are included in the consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 for reinsurance ceded:
<TABLE>

Loss and expense reserves (85,655) (78,454)
-------- --------

======== ========
</TABLE>
The ceding of reinsurance does not discharge the original insurer
from primary liability to its policyholder. The insurer which assumes
the coverage assumes the related liability and it is the practice of
insurers to treat insured risks, to the extent of reinsurance ceded,
as though they were risks for which the original insurer is not liable.
Management believes the financial strength of NMIC reduces to an
acceptable level any risk to NCC under these intercompany reinsurance
agreements.
The Company and various affiliates entered into agreements with
Nationwide Cash Management Company (NCMC) and California Cash
Management Company (CCMC), both affiliates, under which NCMC and CCMC
act as common agents in handling the purchase and sale of short-term
securities for the respective accounts of the participants. Amounts on
deposit with NCMC and CCMC were $92,531 and $28,683 at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, and are included in short-term
investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(15) Bank Lines of Credit
--------------------
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, NLIC had $120,000 of confirmed but
unused bank lines of credit which support a $100,000 commercial paper
borrowing authorization. Additionally, NFS had $27,000 of confirmed
but unused bank lines of credit.
