Sector funds generally  diversify their  investments  across  particular  economic  sectors or a single  industry.  However,  because those
investments  are limited to a  comparatively  narrow  segment of the economy,  the  Portfolios  are generally not as  diversified  as other
Portfolios.  Sector  funds tend to be more  volatile  than other types of funds.  The value of fund shares may go up and down more  rapidly
than other funds. Each sector of the economy may also have different  regulatory or other risk factors that can cause greater  fluctuations
in the share price.  Please read the  prospectus for the  Portfolios  for further  details about the risks of the particular  sector of the
economy.  Each  ProFund  VP sector  Portfolio  will  concentrate  its  investments  in a  particular  industry  or group of  industries  to
approximately the same extent the applicable Index is so concentrated.

The ProFund VP OTC,  Bear and Bull Plus  portfolios  are  available to all Owners.  It is  recommended  that only those Owners who engage a
financial advisor to allocate their funds in strategic or tactical asset allocation  strategies  invest in these  portfolios.  There can be
no assurance that any financial advisor will successfully predict market fluctuations.


The Portfolios  principally  invest in futures  contracts on the applicable index,  options on futures contracts and financial  instruments
such as equity caps, collars and floors,  swaps,  American  Depository Receipts and options on the index. The Portfolios may also invest in
stocks that the Advisor believes should simulate the movement of the applicable index.

                    the  performance  of the S&P 500(R)Index.  The S&P 500(R)Index is  comprised  of diverse,  widely

                    objective,  it should  increase in value in direct  proportion  to any decrease in the level of   ProFund Advisors LLC

                    widely traded,  large capitalization  companies.  If the Portfolio is successful in meeting its
                    objective,  it should  gain  approximately  one and a half  times as much as the S&P 500(R)Index   ProFund Advisors LLC
                    when the prices of the  securities  in the S&P 500(R)Index rise on a given day and should  lose
                    approximately one and a half times as much when such prices decline on a given day.

                                   II. RYDEX VARIABLE TRUST SUB-ACCOUNT CLOSING

Effective  March 16, 2001,  the Nova,  Ursa and OTC portfolios of Rydex Variable Trust will no longer be offered as
Sub-accounts  under the  Annuity.  Owners  of  Annuity  contracts  issued  on or after  March 16,  2001 will not be
allowed  to  allocate  Account  Value to the Rydex  Nova,  Rydex  Ursa or Rydex OTC  Sub-accounts.  Except as noted
below, Owners of Annuity contracts issued before March 16, 2001, and/or their authorized  financial  professionals,
will no longer be able to allocate  additional  Account Value or make transfers into the Rydex Nova,  Rydex Ursa or
Rydex OTC  Sub-accounts.  Contract Owners and/or their  authorized  financial  professionals  who elect to transfer
Account  Value out of the Rydex  Sub-accounts  on or after March 16,  2001 will not be allowed to transfer  Account
Value into the Rydex  Sub-accounts at a later date.  Bank drafting,  dollar cost  averaging,  asset  allocation and
rebalancing  programs  that were  effective  on or  before  March 16,  2001 and  included  one or more of the Rydex
Sub-accounts  will be allowed to continue.  However,  no changes  involving the Rydex  Sub-accounts  may be made to
such programs.

American  Skandia  intends to file an application  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission to substitute the
Rydex Nova,  Rydex Ursa and Rydex OTC  Sub-accounts  with  corresponding  portfolios  of ProFunds  VP. The proposed
substitution  will not affect your rights or our obligations  under the Annuity.  Those Contract Owners effected by
the proposed  substitution  will receive  additional  information  from American  Skandia  notifying  them of their
rights under the SEC Exemptive Order once received.


                                              III. SPOUSAL ASSUMPTION

The following paragraph is being added to the "Death Benefit" section of your Annuity.

Spousal Beneficiary - Assumption of Annuity
You may name your spouse as your  Beneficiary.  If you and your spouse own the Annuity jointly,  we assume that the
sole primary  Beneficiary  will be the surviving  spouse unless you elect an alternative  Beneficiary  designation.
Unless you elect an alternative  Beneficiary  designation,  the spouse Beneficiary may elect to assume ownership of
the  Annuity  instead  of taking the Death  Benefit  payment.  Any Death  Benefit  (including  any  optional  Death
Benefits)  that would have been  payable to the  Beneficiary  will become the new  Account  Value as of the date we
receive due proof of death and any  required  proof of a spousal  relationship.  As of the date the  assumption  is
effective,  the surviving  spouse will have all the rights and benefits  that would be available  under the Annuity
to a new  purchaser  of the same  attained  age.  For  purposes of  determining  any future  Death  Benefit for the
surviving  spouse,  the new Account Value will be considered as the initial  Purchase  Payment.  No CDSC will apply
to the new Account  Value.  However,  any  additional  Purchase  Payments  applied after the date the assumption is
effective will be subject to all provisions of the Annuity.


                                            IV. OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT

The  optional  7.2%  Guaranteed  Minimum  Death  Benefit  (Option 2) was offered,  in those states where  approved,
between May 15, 1999 and  January 22,  2001.  As of January 22,  2001,  this  optional  Death  Benefit is no longer
being  offered to new  purchasers  of the  Annuity.  If  purchased,  this  optional  Death  Benefit  will apply for
Contract Owners who purchased it during that period.

Item 25.  Directors and Officers of the Depositor:  The Directors and Officers of the Depositor are shown in Part A.






Item 26.  Persons  Controlled  by or Under Common  Control with the  Depositor or  Registrant:  The  Depositor  does not directly or
indirectly control any person.  The following persons are under common control with the Depositor by American Skandia, Inc.:

         (1)      American  Skandia  Information  Services and  Technology  Corporation  ("ASIST"):  The  organization  is a general
                  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  business  corporation  organized  in the State of Delaware.  Its primary  purpose is to provide  various  types of
                  business services to American Skandia,  Inc. and all of its subsidiaries  including computer systems  acquisition,
                  development and maintenance,  human resources  acquisition,  development and management,  accounting and financial
                  reporting services and general office services.

         (2)      American Skandia  Marketing,  Incorporated  ("ASM,  Inc."):  The  organization is a general  business  corporation
                  ----------------------------------------------------------
                  organized  in the State of  Delaware.  It was formed  primarily  for the purpose of acting as a  broker-dealer  in
                  securities.  It acts as the principal  "underwriter" of annuity contracts deemed to be securities,  as required by
                  the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  which  insurance  policies  are to be issued by American  Skandia Life
                  Assurance  Corporation.  It provides  securities  law  supervisory  services in relation to the marketing of those
                  products of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation  registered as securities.  It also provides such services
                  in relation to marketing of certain  public mutual funds.  It also has the power to carry on a general  financial,
                  securities,  distribution,  advisory,  or investment  advisory  business;  to act as a general agent or broker for
                  insurance  companies and to render  advisory,  managerial,  research and consulting  services for  maintaining and
                  improving managerial efficiency and operation.

         (3)      American Skandia Investment Services,  Incorporated ("ASISI"):  The organization is a general business corporation
                  -------------------------------------------------------------
                  organized  in the state of  Connecticut.  The  organization  is  authorized  to  provide  investment  service  and
                  investment  management advice in connection with the purchasing,  selling,  holding or exchanging of securities or
                  other assets to insurance  companies,  insurance-related  companies,  mutual funds or business trusts. Its primary
                  role is expected to be as investment  manager for certain mutual funds to be made available  primarily through the
                  variable insurance products of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation.

         (4)      Skandia Vida:  This  subsidiary  American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation  was organized in March,  1995, and
                  ------------
                  began  operations in July,  1995. It offers  investment  oriented life insurance  products  designed for long-term
                  savings through independent banks and brokers in Mexico.

Item 27.  Number of Contract Owners:  As of December 31, 1999, there were 60,083 owners of Annuities.

Item 28.  Indemnification:  Under Section 33-320a of the Connecticut  General  Statutes,  the Depositor must indemnify a director or
officer against judgments,  fines,  penalties,  amounts paid in settlement and reasonable  expenses  including  attorneys' fees, for
actions  brought or  threatened  to be brought  against  him in his  capacity as a director or officer  when  certain  disinterested
parties  determine  that he  acted  in good  faith  and in a manner  he  reasonably  believed  to be in the  best  interests  of the
Depositor.  In any criminal  action or proceeding,  it also must be determined that the director or officer had no reason to believe
his conduct was  unlawful.  The director or officer must also be  indemnified  when he is successful on the merits in the defense of
a proceeding or in  circumstances  where a court  determines that he is fairly and reasonable  entitled to be  indemnified,  and the
court approves the amount.  In shareholder  derivative  suits, the director or officer must be finally adjudged not to have breached
this duty to the Depositor or a court must determine that he is fairly and  reasonably  entitled to be indemnified  and must approve
the amount.  In a claim based upon the  director's or officer's  purchase or sale of the  Registrants'  securities,  the director or
officer may obtain  indemnification  only if a court determines that, in view of all the circumstances,  he is fairly and reasonably
entitled to be indemnified  and then for such amount as the court shall  determine.  The By-Laws of American  Skandia Life Assurance
Corporation ("ASLAC") also provide directors and officers with rights of indemnification, consistent with Connecticut Law.

The foregoing statements are subject to the provisions of Section 33-320a.

Directors and officers of ASLAC and ASM, Inc. can also be  indemnified  pursuant to indemnity  agreements  between each director and
officer and  American  Skandia,  Inc.,  a  corporation  organized  under the laws of the state of Delaware.  The  provisions  of the
indemnity agreement are governed by Section 45 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The directors and officers of ASLAC and ASM, Inc. are covered under a directors and officers  liability  insurance  policy issued by
an unaffiliated  insurance  company to Skandia  Insurance  Company Ltd., their ultimate parent.  Such policy will reimburse ASLAC or
ASM,  Inc., as  applicable,  for any payments that it shall make to directors and officers  pursuant to law and,  subject to certain
exclusions  contained in the policy,  will pay any other costs,  charges and expenses,  settlements  and judgments  arising from any
proceeding involving any director or officer of ASLAC or ASM, Inc., as applicable, in his or her past or present capacity as such.

Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:  Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act") may be permitted to directors,  officers and  controlling  persons of Registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or
otherwise,  Registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is
against  public  policy as expressed in the Act and,  therefore,  is  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for  indemnification
against such liabilities  (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or controlling
person of  Registrant  in the  successful  defense of any action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by such  director,  officer or
controlling  person in connection with the securities  being  registered,  unless in the opinion of Registrant's  counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent,  Registrant will submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification  by it is against  public  policy as  expressed  in the Act and will be governed by the final  adjudication  of such
issue.


Item 29.  Principal Underwriters:

(a)      At present, ASM, Inc. acts as principal underwriter only for annuities to be issued by ASLAC.

(b)      Directors and officers of ASM, Inc.
