  This prospectus describes Pacific Select Estate Preserver--a Last Survivor
Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy (individually, the "Policy,"
and collectively, the "Policies") offered by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("Pacific Mutual", "we", "us", or "our"). The Policy, for so long as it
remains in force, provides lifetime insurance protection on the lives of two
Insureds named in the Policy, with a death benefit payable when the last
surviving Insured dies while the Policy is in force. Four death benefit options
are available under the Policy. The Policy is designed to provide flexibility
in connection with premium payments and death benefits to permit a Policy Owner
to provide for changing insurance needs under a single insurance policy. A
Policy may be surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value, less outstanding Policy
Debt.
 
  Net premium payments may be allocated at the Policy Owner's discretion to one
or more of the Investment Options available under the Policy to the Owner.
Variable Investment Options are funded by one of our separate accounts, the
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account"), which is divided
into Variable Accounts. Each of the fourteen Variable Accounts that are
currently available to the Owner invest in a corresponding portfolio of the
Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"):
<TABLE> 
                <S>                              <C> 
                Money Market Portfolio           Equity Income Portfolio
                High Yield Bond Portfolio        Multi-Strategy Portfolio
                Managed Bond Portfolio           Equity Portfolio
                Government Securities Portfolio  Bond and Income Portfolio
                Growth Portfolio                 Equity Index Portfolio
                Aggressive Equity Portfolio      International Portfolio
                Growth LT Portolio               Emerging Markets Portfolio
</TABLE> 
 
  Net premium payments also may be allocated to the Fixed Account. The
Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account will accrue interest at an interest rate
that is guaranteed by us. This prospectus generally describes only the portion
of the Policy involving the Separate Account. For a brief summary of the Fixed
Account, see "The Fixed Account," page 32.
 
  To the extent that all or a portion of net premium payments are allocated to
the Separate Account, the Accumulated Value under the Policy will vary based
upon the investment performance of the Variable Accounts to which the
Accumulated Value is allocated. No minimum amount of Accumulated Value is
guaranteed.
 
  The Policy insures the lives of two Insureds and is intended to provide death
benefits after the deaths of both of the Insureds. Prospective applicants for
the Policy should consult with their agent regarding the appropriateness of the
Policy, relative to a life insurance policy insuring the life of only one
person, for their financial planning goals.
 
  It may not be advantageous to replace existing insurance with this Policy.
The Policy may be returned according to the terms of its Free-Look Right (see
"Right to Examine a Policy--Free-Look Right," page 22).

proper later designation to receive the death benefit proceeds upon the death
of the last surviving Insured.

discretion pay interest in excess of the guaranteed amount.
General Account--All of our assets other than those allocated to the Separate
Account or to any other of our segregated separate accounts.

payable.
Investment Option--A Variable Account or the Fixed Account.

                             SUMMARY OF THE POLICY
 
  This summary is intended to provide a brief overview of the more significant
aspects of the Policy. Further detail is provided in this prospectus and in the
Policy. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the discussion in this summary
and the remainder of the prospectus relates to the portion of the Policy
involving the Separate Account. The Fixed Account is briefly described under
"The Fixed Account," on page 32 and in the Policy.
 
PURPOSE OF THE POLICY
 
  Like traditional fixed life insurance, the Policy provides for a death
benefit equal to its Face Amount, accumulation of cash value, and surrender and
loan privileges. Unlike traditional fixed life insurance, your Policy offers a
choice of investment alternatives, and an opportunity for your Policy's
Accumulated Value and, if elected by you and under certain circumstances, its
death benefit to grow based on investment results. The Policy is a flexible
premium policy, so that, unlike many other life insurance policies and subject
to certain limitations, you may choose the amount and frequency of premium
payments.
 
  Your Policy offers you lifetime insurance protection on the lives of two
Insureds for so long as your Policy is in force. The death benefit proceeds
under your Policy are payable upon the death of the last surviving Insured
named in your Policy. The Policy is intended for situations in which you desire
to provide a benefit to beneficiaries after the deaths of two persons. For
example, the Policy could be used where two spouses wish to provide an estate
benefit for their children after the death of both spouses. The Policy might
not be appropriate where one spouse wishes to provide a benefit to the other
spouse after the death of the first spouse. An insurance policy for a single
insured may be better in this situation. We offer variable life insurance
policies that provide protection for the life of one insured. Applicants should
consult their agent on the appropriateness of the Policy for their situation.
 
POLICY VALUES
 
  You may allocate net premium payments among the various Investment Options
available to you.
 
  You bear the investment risk on that portion of the net premiums and
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts. The death benefit may or
may not increase or decrease depending upon several factors, including the
death benefit option you select, although the death benefit will never decrease
below the Face Amount provided your Policy is in force. There is no guarantee
that your Policy's Accumulated Value and death benefit will increase.
 
  Your Policy will remain in force until the earliest of the death of the
Survivor, lapse, or a full surrender of your Policy.
 
THE DEATH BENEFIT
 
  You may elect one of four death benefit options under the Policy. THE AMOUNT
OF DEATH BENEFIT IS THE GREATER OF THE POLICY'S GUIDELINE MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT
OR THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE OPTION YOU SELECT.
 
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
 
  You may change the death benefit option to Option A or B subject to certain
conditions. See "Death Benefit" and "Changes in Death Benefit Option," pages 15
and 18, respectively.
 
                                       5

PREMIUM FEATURES
 
  We require you to pay an initial premium equal to at least 25% of an annual
premium that will be estimated by us. Thereafter, subject to certain
limitations, you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments. The
Policy, therefore, provides you with the flexibility to vary premium payments
to reflect varying financial conditions.
 
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
 
  You may choose to allocate net premium payments to one or more of the fifteen
Investment Options available to you.
 
  The fourteen Variable Accounts available to you invest in portfolios of a
mutual fund which offers you the opportunity to direct us to invest in
diversified portfolios of stocks, bonds, money market instruments, or a
combination of these securities, or in securities of foreign issuers. Each of
the available Variable Accounts invests exclusively in shares of a designated
Portfolio of the Fund. Each of the Portfolios of the Fund, which are shown in
the chart on page 11, has a different investment objective or objectives. See
"The Pacific Select Fund," page 10.
 
  You also may allocate all or a portion of net premium payments and transfer
Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account. We guarantee that the Accumulated Value
allocated to the Fixed Account will be credited interest monthly at a rate
equivalent to an effective annual rate of 4%, and may in its sole discretion
pay interest in excess of the guaranteed amount. See "The Fixed Account," page
32.
 
TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
  Subject to certain limitations, you may transfer Accumulated Value among the
Variable Accounts and between the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account. See
"Transfer of Accumulated Value," page 15.
 
POLICY LOANS
 
  You may borrow from us an amount up to the greater of (1) 90% of your
Policy's Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts and 100% of
Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Account, less any surrender charges
that would have been imposed if your Policy were surrendered on the date the
loan is taken, or (2) 100% of the product of (a X b/c - d) where (a) equals the
Policy's Accumulated Value less any surrender charge that would be imposed if
the Policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken and less 12 times the
current monthly deduction; (b) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate
credited; (c) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate currently charged;
and (d) equals any existing Policy Debt. The minimum loan is $500 ($200 in
Connecticut, $250 in Oregon). Your Policy will be the only security required
for a loan. The amount of any Policy Debt is subtracted from the death benefit
or from your Cash Surrender Value upon surrender. See "Policy Loans," page 20.
 
FREE-LOOK RIGHT
 
  A Policy Owner may obtain a full refund of the premium paid if the Policy is
returned within 10 days after the Owner receives it (15 days in Colorado; 20
days in North Dakota; and 30 days if the Owner is a resident of California and
is age 60 or older), or within 45 days after the application for the Policy is
signed, whichever is later (the "Free-Look Period"). However, in Pennsylvania,
you have a different Free-Look Right, under which your Policy may be returned
only within 10 days after you receive it. See "Right to Examine a Policy--Free-
Look Right," page 22.
 
SURRENDER RIGHT
 
  You can surrender the Policy while either Insured is living and receive your
Net Cash Surrender Value, which is equal to your Policy's Accumulated Value
less any surrender charge and less any outstanding Policy Debt.
 
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
  After the first Policy Anniversary and subject to certain restrictions, you
may make Partial Withdrawals of Net Cash Surrender Value. A withdrawal fee of
$25 will be assessed upon a Partial Withdrawal. A Partial Withdrawal might
decrease the Face Amount on a Policy. See "Partial Withdrawals," page 21.
 
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
 Premium Load
 
  A premium load is deducted from each premium payment under a Policy prior to
allocation of the net premium to the Policy Owner's Accumulated Value. The
premium load consists of the following items:
 
  --A sales load equal to 5% of each premium paid during the first ten Policy
   Years and 3% of each premium paid thereafter. (For information on the
   sales surrender charge, see page 25.)
 
  --A state and local premium tax charge equal to 2.35% of each premium paid.
 
  --A federal tax charge equal to 1.50% of each premium paid.
 
 Deductions from Accumulated Value
 
  A charge called the monthly deduction is deducted from the Policy's
Accumulated Value on each Monthly Payment Date. The monthly deduction consists
of the following items:
 
  --Cost of Insurance: The amount of the charge is equal to a current cost of
   insurance rate multiplied by the net amount at risk (the death benefit
   less Accumulated Value) under a Policy at the beginning of the Policy
   Month.
 
  --Administrative Charge: A monthly administrative charge is deducted equal
   to $16 in each of the first five Policy Years, and thereafter at a rate
   equal to $6 per month.
 
  --Mortality and Expense Risk Charge: The mortality and expense risk charge
  consists of two components:
 
    (1) Face Amount Component--During the first ten Policy Years, the Face
        Amount Component will be assessed at a rate determined with reference
        to the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds and the initial Face Amount of
        the Policy. This component is not assessed after the tenth Policy
        Year.
 
    (2) Accumulated Value Component--The Accumulated Value Component is
        assessed at an annual rate equal to .30% of Accumulated Value in the
        first 20 Policy Years and an annual rate equal to .10% of Accumulated
        Value thereafter. For purposes of this component, the Accumulated
        Value is determined after the deduction of the cost of insurance
        charge and charges for any optional insurance Riders or Benefits
        added to the Policy.
 
  --Optional Insurance Benefits Charges: The monthly deduction will include
   charges for any optional insurance Riders or Benefits added to the Policy.
 
 Surrender Charge
 
  We will assess a surrender charge against Accumulated Value upon surrender of
a Policy until the tenth Policy Anniversary. The surrender charge consists of
two charges: an underwriting surrender charge and a sales surrender charge.
 
  --Underwriting Surrender Charge: The underwriting surrender charge is equal
   to a specified amount that varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds
   for each $1,000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount in accordance with a
   schedule shown in Appendix B. After the first Policy Year, the charge
   decreases by 0.9259% per month until it reaches zero at the end of the
   120th Policy Month.
 
  --Sales Surrender Charge: During the first Policy Year, the sales surrender
   charge is equal to 25% of the lesser of the premiums paid under the Policy
   or the Sales Surrender Target. The Sales Surrender Target is equal to a
   specified amount that varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds for
   each $1,000 of a

<PAGE>
 
   Policy's initial Face Amount in accordance with a schedule shown in
   Appendix B. After the first Policy Year, the sales surrender charge as
   calculated above is adjusted by a reduction factor. This reduction factor
   is equal to 99.0741% in the 13th month and reduces by 0.9259% per month
   until it reaches zero at the end of the 120th Policy Month.
 
  The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by us. For a more
complete description of these charges, see "Charges and Deductions," page 23.
 
FUND ANNUAL EXPENSES AFTER EXPENSE LIMITATION (as a percentage of each
Portfolio's average daily net assets)
 
  Investment advisory fees and operating expenses of the Fund are paid by the
Fund. Fund expenses are not specified under the terms of the Policy, and they
may vary from year to year.

  The expenses listed for the Fund Portfolios reflect current expenses for the
six month period ending June 30, 1996 adjusted to reflect a decrease in fees
for certain operating expenses. The Aggressive Equity and Emerging Markets
Portfolios did not begin operations until April 1, 1996 and their "other
expenses" are on an annualized basis and reflect the policy adopted by Pacific
Mutual as Investment Adviser to the Fund, to waive its fees or otherwise
reimburse expenses so that operating expenses (exclusive of advisory fees,
additional custodial fees associated with holding foreign securities, foreign
taxes on dividends, interest or capital gains, and extraordinary expenses)
expressed as a decimal are not greater than 0.0025 of average daily net assets
per year. We began this policy in 1989 and intend to continue this policy until
at least December 31, 1998, but may discontinue it after that time. In the
absence of this policy, it is estimated that such expenses for the Aggressive
Equity Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Portfolio would exceed this expense
cap in 1996 and total adjusted expenses would be approximately 1.21% and 1.65%
on an annualized basis, respectively. No reimbursement to the other Portfolios
was necessary for the Fund's six month period ending June 30, 1996.
 
  The Fund's expenses are assessed at the Fund level and are not direct charges
against the Variable Accounts or the Policy's Accumulated Value. These expenses
are taken into account in computing each Portfolio's per share net asset value,
which in turn is used to compute the corresponding Variable Account's
Accumulation Unit Value. The Fund's investment advisory fees and operating
expenses are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus, which accompanies
this Prospectus.
 
TAX TREATMENT OF INCREASES IN ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
  We believe that the Accumulated Value under the Policy is currently subject
to the same federal income tax treatment as the cash value under traditional
fixed life insurance. Therefore, generally you will not be deemed to
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
be in constructive receipt of your Accumulated Value unless and until you are
deemed to be in receipt of a distribution from your Policy. For information on
the tax treatment of the Policy and on the tax treatment of a surrender, a
Partial Withdrawal, or a Policy loan, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations,"
page 26.
 
TAX TREATMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT
 
  We believe that the death benefit under the Policy is currently subject to
federal income tax treatment consistent with that of traditional fixed life
insurance. Therefore, generally the death benefit will be fully excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary under the Internal Revenue Code. See
"Federal Income Tax Considerations," page 26.
 
CONTACTING PACIFIC MUTUAL
 
  All written requests, notices, and forms required by the Policies, and any
questions or inquiries should be directed to our Policy Benefits and Services
Department at 700 Newport Center Drive, P.O. Box 7500, Newport Beach,
California 92658-7500.
 
  The effective date of certain notices or of instructions is determined by the
date and time on which Pacific Mutual "receives" the notice or instructions.
Unless otherwise stated, we "receive" this information only when it arrives
"properly completed" at our Home Office. Premium payments after your initial
premium payment, transfer requests, loan requests, loan repayments, and
withdrawal requests we receive before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or the close of
the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier) will normally be effective as of the
end of the Valuation Day that we receive them "properly completed," unless the
transaction or event is scheduled to occur on another day. Transactions are
effected as of the end of the Valuation Date on which they are effective.
"Properly completed" may require, among other things, a signature guarantee or
other verification of authenticity. We do not generally require a signature
guarantee unless it appears that your signature may have changed over time or
due to other circumstances. Requests regarding death benefits must be
accompanied by both proof of death and instructions regarding payment
satisfactory to us. You should call your registered representative or Pacific
Mutual if you have questions regarding the required form of a request.

     INFORMATION ABOUT PACIFIC MUTUAL, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT, AND THE FUND
 
PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
  We are a mutual life insurance company organized under the laws of the State
of California. We were authorized to conduct business as a life insurance
company on January 2, 1868, as Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of
California, and were reincorporated under our present name on July 22, 1936.
 
  We offer a complete line of life insurance policies and annuity contracts,
as well as financial and retirement services. We are admitted to do business
in the District of Columbia and in all states except New York. As of the end
of 1995, we had $44.2 billion of individual life insurance in force and total
assets of $17.6 billion. We and our subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises
together had total assets and funds under management of $116.6 billion as of
the end of 1995. We have been ranked according to assets as the 23rd largest
life insurance carrier in the nation for 1995.
 
  The principal underwriter for the Policies is Pacific Mutual Distributors,
Inc. ("PMD") one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. PMD is registered as a
broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
 
PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
  The Separate Account is a separate investment account of ours that is used
only to support the variable death benefits and policy values of variable life
insurance policies. The assets in the Separate Account are kept separate from
our General Account assets and our other separate accounts.
 
  We own the assets in the Separate Account and are required to maintain
sufficient assets in the Separate Account to meet anticipated obligations of
the insurance policies funded by the Account. The Separate Account is divided
into subaccounts called Variable Accounts. The income, gains, or losses,
realized or unrealized, of each Variable Account are credited to or charged
against the assets held in the Variable Account without regard to our other
income, gains, or losses. Assets in the Separate Account attributable to the
reserves and other liabilities under the variable life insurance policies
funded by the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising
from any other business that we conduct. However, we may transfer to our
General Account any assets which exceed anticipated obligations of the
Separate Account. All obligations arising under the Policy are our general
corporate obligations. We may accumulate in the Separate Account proceeds from
various policy charges and investment results applicable to those assets.
 
  The Separate Account was established on May 12, 1988 under California law
under the authority of our Board of Directors. The Separate Account is
registered as a unit investment trust with the SEC. Such registration does not
involve any supervision by the SEC of the administration or investment
practices or policies of the Account.
 
  Each Variable Account available to you invests exclusively in shares of a
designated Portfolio of the Fund. We may in the future establish additional
Variable Accounts within the Separate Account, which may invest in other
Portfolios of the Fund or in other securities.
 
THE PACIFIC SELECT FUND
 
  The Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company of the
series type, generally known as a mutual fund. The Fund is registered with the
SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund currently offers
fourteen separate Portfolios that fund the Variable Investments Options
available to you. Each Portfolio pursues different investment objectives and
policies. The shares of each Portfolio are purchased by us for the
corresponding Variable Account at net asset value, i.e., without sales load.
All dividends and capital gains distributions received from a Portfolio are
automatically reinvested in such Portfolio at net asset value, unless we, on
behalf of the Separate Account, elect otherwise. Fund shares will be redeemed
by us at their net asset value to the extent necessary to make payments under
the Policies.
 
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
  Shares of the Fund currently are offered only to separate accounts of ours
and an affiliated insurer to serve as an investment medium for variable life
insurance policies and variable annuity contracts issued or administered by
these insurers. Shares of the Fund may also be sold in the future to separate
accounts of other insurance companies, either affiliated or not affiliated
with us. Investment in the Fund by other separate accounts in connection with
variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts may potentially create
conflicts. See "MORE ON THE FUND'S SHARES" in the accompanying prospectus of
the Fund.
 
  The chart below summarizes some basic data about each Portfolio of the Fund
offered to the Separate Account. There can be no assurance that any Portfolio
will achieve its objective. This chart is only a summary. You should read the
more detailed information which is contained in the accompanying prospectus of
the Fund, including information on the risks associated with the investments
and investment techniques of each of the Portfolios.
 
  THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS ACCOMPANIES THIS PROSPECTUS AND SHOULD BE READ

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER AND PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
 
  We serve as Investment Adviser to each Portfolio of the Fund. We are
registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser. For twelve of the
Portfolios, we and the Fund have engaged other firms to serve as Portfolio
Managers, which are shown in the chart above.
 
                                  THE POLICY
 
  The variable life insurance benefits provided by the Policies are funded
through the Policy Owner's Accumulated Value in the Separate Account and the
Fixed Account. The information included below describes the benefits,
features, charges, and other major provisions of the Policies.
 
APPLICATION FOR A POLICY
 
  The Policy is designed to meet the needs of individuals by insuring the
lives of two Insureds. Anyone wishing to purchase the Policy may submit an
application to us. A Policy can be issued on the life of Insureds for Ages 20
through Age 85 with evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. An Insured's
Age is calculated for most purposes as of the Insured's birthday nearest the
Policy Date. Acceptance is subject to our underwriting rules, and we reserve
the right to request additional information and to reject an application.
 
  Each Policy is issued with a Policy Date. If your application is accompanied
by all or a portion of the initial premium and is accepted by us, your Policy
Date is usually the date the application and premium payment were received at
our Home Office, although your Policy Date will never be the 29th, 30th, or
31st of any month. If your application is not accompanied by all or a portion
of the initial premium payment, your Policy Date is usually the date your
application is accepted by us. We first become obligated under your Policy on
the date your total initial premium is received or on the date your
application is accepted, whichever is later. Any monthly deductions due will
be taken on the Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date we become
obligated. Your initial premium must be received within 20 days after your
Policy is issued, although we may waive the 20 day requirement at our
discretion. If your initial premium is not received or your application is
rejected by us, your Policy will be cancelled and any partial premium received
will be refunded.
 
  Subject to our approval, your Policy may be backdated, but your Policy Date
may not be more than six months prior to the date of your application.
Backdating can be advantageous if the Insureds' lower issue Ages results in
lower cost of insurance rates. If your Policy is backdated, the minimum
initial premium required will include sufficient premium to cover the
backdating period. Monthly deductions will be made for the period your Policy
Date is backdated.
 
  Insureds are assigned to underwriting (insurance risk) classes which are
used in calculating the cost of insurance charges. In assigning Insureds to
underwriting classes, we will normally use the medical or paramedical
underwriting method, which may require a medical examination of a proposed
Insured, although other forms of underwriting may be used when deemed
appropriate by us.
 
PREMIUMS
 
  The Policy is a flexible-premium policy, and it provides considerable
flexibility, subject to the limitations described below, to pay premiums at
your discretion. We usually require you to pay a minimum initial premium equal
to at least 25% of the sum of your Policy's monthly deductions plus premium
load for the first year, which will be based upon your Policy's Face Amount
and the Age, smoking status, gender (unless unisex cost of insurance rates
apply, see "Charges and Deductions: Cost of Insurance"), and underwriting
classes of the Insureds. Thereafter, subject to the limitations described
below, you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments. The
Policy, therefore, provides the Policy Owner with the flexibility to vary
premium payments to reflect varying financial conditions.
 
  When applying for a Policy, you will determine a Planned Periodic Premium
that provides for the payment of level premiums at fixed intervals over a
specified period of time. You will receive a premium reminder notice
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
annually, semi-annually, or quarterly; however, you are not required to pay
Planned Periodic Premiums. Premiums may be paid monthly under the Uni-check
electronic funds transfer plan where you authorize us to withdraw premiums
from your checking account each month. The minimum initial premium required
must be paid before the Uni-check plan will be accepted by us. You may elect
the day each month on which premiums are paid under the Uni-check plan,
provided the day elected is between the 4th and the 28th day of the month. If
no day is elected by you, the day on which premiums are paid will be the
Monthly Anniversary.
 
  Payment of the Periodic Planned Premium will not guarantee that your Policy
will remain in force. Instead, the continuation of your Policy depends upon
your Policy's Accumulated Value. Even if Periodic Planned Premiums are paid,
your Policy will lapse any time Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is
insufficient to pay the current monthly deduction and a grace period expires
without sufficient payment. See "Lapse".
 
  Any premium payment must be for at least $50.00. We also may reject or limit
any premium payment that would result in an immediate increase in the net
amount at risk under the Policy, although such a premium may be accepted with
satisfactory evidence of insurability. See "Charges and Deductions: Cost of
Insurance". A premium payment would result in an immediate increase in the net
amount at risk if the death benefit under your Policy is, or upon acceptance
of the premium would be, equal to your Guideline Minimum Death Benefit. See
"Death Benefit". If satisfactory evidence of insurability is not received, the
payment, or portion thereof, may be returned. All or a portion of a premium
payment will be rejected and returned to you if it would exceed the maximum
premium limitations prescribed by federal tax law. We also reserve the right
to make distributions from your Policy to the extent we deem it necessary to
continue to qualify your Policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue
code.
 
  The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you pay premiums might
affect whether your Policy will be classified as a modified endowment
contract, which is a type of life insurance contract subject to different tax
treatment for certain pre-death distributions than conventional life insurance
contracts.
 
  In order for your Policy to avoid being treated as a modified endowment
contract, the sum of the premiums paid less a portion of any Partial
Withdrawals may not exceed the "seven pay premium" limit as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code. (See "Federal Income Tax Considerations"). If we
receive any premium payment that we believe, if applied to your Policy in that
Policy year, would cause your Policy to become a modified endowment contract,
the portion of the payment that we believe would cause your Policy to become a
modified endowment contract will not be applied to your Policy but will be
returned to you, unless you have previously notified us that payments that
cause your Policy to become a modified endowment contract may be accepted by
us and applied to your Policy. However, for premium payments received by us at
our Home Office within 20 days before the upcoming Annual Anniversary of your
Policy, we may apply the portion of the premium payment that we believe would
cause your Policy to become a modified endowment contract to your Policy on
the upcoming Annual Anniversary.
 
  Certain charges will be deducted from each premium payment. See "Charges and
Deductions". The remainder of the premium, known as the net premium, will be
allocated as described below under "Allocation of Net Premiums." Additional
payments will first be treated as premium payments unless you request
otherwise.
 
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS
 
  In your application for the Policy, you select the Investment Options to
which net premium payments will be allocated. When your application is
approved and your Policy is issued, your Accumulated Value will be
automatically allocated according to your instructions contained in your
application, or more recent written instructions, if any (except for amounts
allocated to the Loan Account to secure any Policy Debt). For residents of
states that require a refund of premium to an Owner who returns the Policy
during the Free-Look Period, net premiums received by us before the Free-Look
Transfer Date will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account (except
for amounts allocated to the Loan Account to secure any Policy loan). The
Free-Look Transfer Date is the later of 15 days after the Policy is issued or
45 days after the application is signed, or, if longer, upon receipt of the
minimum initial premium. Net premiums received after the Free-Look Transfer
Date will be allocated upon receipt among the Investment Options according to
your most recent instructions.
 
                                      13
<PAGE>
 
  You may change the allocation of net premiums by submitting a proper written
request to our Home Office. Changes in net premium allocation instructions may
be made by telephone if a properly completed Authorization for Telephone
Requests is on file at our Home Office. We reserve the right to suspend or
discontinue telephone net premium allocation instructions.
 
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION
 
  We currently offer an option under which you may dollar cost average your
allocations in the available Variable Accounts under your Policy by
authorizing us to make periodic allocations of Accumulated Value from any one
Variable Account to one or more of the other Variable Accounts. Dollar cost
averaging is a systematic method of investing under which securities are
purchased at regular intervals in fixed dollar amounts so that the cost of the
securities gets averaged over time and possibly over various market values.
The option will result in the allocation of Accumulated Value to one or more
Variable Accounts, and these amounts will be credited at the Accumulation Unit
values as of the end of the Valuation Dates on which the transfers are
processed. Since the value of Accumulation Units will vary, the amounts
allocated to a Variable Account will result in the crediting of a greater
number of units when the Accumulation Unit value is low and a lesser number of
units when the Accumulation Unit value is high. Dollar cost averaging does not
guarantee profits, nor does it assure that a Policy Owner will not have
losses.
 
  A Dollar Cost Averaging Request Form is available upon request. To elect the
Dollar Cost Averaging Option, the Accumulated Value in the Variable Account
from which the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will be made must be at least
$5,000. After we have received a Dollar Cost Averaging Request in proper form
at our Home Office, we will transfer Accumulated Value in amounts you
designate from the Variable Account from which transfers are to be made to the
Variable Account or Accounts you choose. The minimum amount that may be
transferred to any one Variable Account is $50. After the Free-Look Period,
the first transfer will be effected on your Policy's Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-
Annual, or Annual Anniversary, whichever corresponds to the period selected by
you, on or next following receipt at our Home Office of a Dollar Cost
Averaging Request in proper form. Subsequent transfers will be effected on the
following Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual Anniversary for so long
as you designate until the total amount elected has been transferred, until
Accumulated Value in the Variable Account from which transfers are made has
been depleted, or until your Policy enters the grace period. Amounts
periodically transferred under this option will not be subject to any transfer
charges that may be imposed by us in the future, except as may be required by
applicable law.
 
  You may instruct us at any time to terminate this option by written request
to our Home Office. We may discontinue, modify, or suspend the Dollar Cost
Averaging Option at any time.
 
PORTFOLIO REBALANCING
 
  You may direct us to automatically re-set the percentage of your Accumulated
Value allocated to each Variable Account at a predetermined level. This
process is called portfolio rebalancing. (The Fixed Account is not available
for portfolio rebalancing.) Over time, the variations in each Variable
Account's investment results will shift the percentage allocations of your
Accumulated Value. The portfolio rebalancing feature will automatically
transfer your Accumulated Value among the Variable Accounts back to the preset
percentages. Rebalancing can be made quarterly, semi-annually or annually,
measured from your Policy Date ("frequency period"). Rebalancing may result in
transferring amounts from a Variable Account with relatively higher investment
performance to a Variable Account with relatively lower investment
performance.
 
  You may initiate portfolio rebalancing by sending our Home Office a signed,
written request in good form or a properly completed Automatic Portfolio
Rebalancing form. You must specify the frequency for rebalancing and a
beginning date. The first rebalancing will usually occur on your Monthly
Payment Date that starts the frequency period you elected and that occurs on
or follows the beginning date you elected. If you stop portfolio rebalancing,
you must wait 30 days to begin again. Portfolio rebalancing cannot be used
with the Dollar Cost Averaging Option.
 
  We may modify, terminate or suspend the portfolio rebalancing feature at any
time.
 
                                      14

TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
  Accumulated Value may be transferred among the Variable Accounts by the
Policy Owner upon proper written request to our Home Office. Transfers may not
be made until after the Free-Look Transfer Date if you reside in a state that
requires us to refund premiums if you exercise your Free-Look Right. Transfers
(other than transfers in connection with the Dollar Cost Averaging Option) may
be made by telephone if a properly completed Authorization For Telephone
Requests is on file at our Home Office. Currently, there are no limitations on
the number of transfers between Variable Accounts, no minimum amount required
for a transfer, nor any minimum amount required to be remaining in a given
Variable Account after a transfer (except as required under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Option). No transfer may be made if your Policy is in the grace
period and a payment required to avoid lapse is not paid. See "Lapse". No
charges are currently imposed upon such transfers. We reserve the right,
however, at a future date to limit the size of transfers and remaining
balances, to assess transfer charges, to limit the number and frequency of
transfers, and to impose other reasonable limits or suspend or discontinue
telephone transfers.
 
  Accumulated Value may also be transferred after the Free-Look Transfer Date
from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account; however, such a transfer will
only be permitted in the Policy Month preceding your Policy Anniversary,
except that if you reside in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina,
North Dakota, or Pennsylvania, you may make such a transfer at any time during
the first 18 Policy Months. Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable
Accounts are restricted as described in "The Fixed Account".
 
DEATH BENEFIT
 
  When your Policy is issued, we will determine the initial amount of
insurance based on the instructions provided in the application. That amount
will be shown on the specifications page of your Policy and is called the
"Face Amount". The minimum Face Amount at issuance of a Policy is $100,000. We
may reduce the minimum Face Amount required at issuance under certain
circumstances.
 
  For so long as your Policy remains in force, we will, upon proof of the
death of both Insureds, pay death benefit proceeds to a named Beneficiary.
Death benefit proceeds will consist of the death benefit under the Policy,
plus any insurance proceeds provided by Rider, reduced by any outstanding
Policy Debt (and, if in the grace period, any overdue charges).
 
  Each Policy Owner may select one of four death benefit options: Option A,
Option B, Option C, or Option D. Generally, you designate the death benefit
option in your application. If no option is designated, Option A will be
assumed by us to have been selected. Subject to certain restrictions, you may
change the death benefit option selected to Option A or B.
 
  The death benefit upon the death of the Survivor will be equal to the death
benefit option selected or, if greater, the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit,
which is Accumulated Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Survivor dies) multiplied by the Death Benefit Percentage.
The Death Benefit Percentage varies according to the Age of the younger
Insured and will be at least equal to the cash value corridor in Section 7702
of the Internal Revenue Code, which addresses the definition of a life
insurance policy for tax purposes. The Death Benefit Percentage is 250% for an
Insured at Age 40 or under, and it declines for older Insureds. A table
showing the Death Benefit Percentages is in Appendix C to this prospectus and
in the Policy. Under any option, for so long as your Policy remains in force,
the death benefit will never be less than the Face Amount of your Policy and
will always be sufficient to qualify the Policy as life insurance under
Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
  Option A. Under Option A, the death benefit will be equal to the Face Amount
of your Policy.
 
  Option B. Under Option B, the death benefit will be equal to the Face Amount
of your Policy plus the Accumulated Value. The death benefit under Option B
will always vary as Accumulated Value varies.
 
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
  Option C. Under Option C, the death benefit will be equal to the Face Amount
of your Policy plus the total premiums paid minus the sum of any partial
withdrawals taken and any other distribution of Accumulated Value.
 
  Option D. Under Option D, the death benefit will be equal to the Face Amount
of the Policy multiplied by a Death Benefit Factor. Death Benefit Factors for
Joint Equal Ages and Policy years, each at 5 year intervals, are shown in
Appendix D; a complete chart is contained in your Policy. Generally, the Death
Benefit Factor is a number from 1.0 to 2.0. The factor that applies to a
Policy varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds and the number of
completed Policy Years, and changes on each Policy Anniversary. Generally, the
Death Benefit Factor will reach the maximum of 2.0 when the sum of the Joint
Equal Age and the number of completed Policy Years is between 85 and 90, so
that the minimum death benefit at that time would be equal to twice the amount
of the Face Amount.
 
  Choosing Among the Options. Options A through D are intended to provide
flexibility in the amount of insurance protection provided under a Policy.
Option A provides for the smallest amount of insurance protection, in that the
death benefit is equal to the Face Amount (assuming that the Guideline Minimum
Death Benefit is not greater than the Face Amount). Under this option,
favorable investment performance will be reflected in increasing Accumulated
Value rather than insurance protection. Options B and C provide for a greater
degree of insurance protection, in that the death benefit under Option B
includes Accumulated Value, and the benefit under Option C includes the amount
of premiums paid minus withdrawals and any other distributions of Accumulated
Value. As between Options B and C, the death benefit under Option B will
reflect the value of growth in Accumulated Value due to performance, and
Option C will not (assuming that Guideline Minimum Death Benefit is not
greater than the death benefit otherwise determined). Option D provides some
assurance that the death benefit will increase gradually over time without
regard to the investment performance of the Investment Options.
 
                                      16

  Examples of Death Benefit Options. The following examples demonstrate the
determination of death benefits under Options A through D. The examples show
eight hypothetical Policies, each with a Face Amount of $1,000,000 and where
the two Insureds are male and female nonsmokers, each Age 45 at the time of
issue, and assuming that there is no outstanding Policy Debt, that no
withdrawals have been taken, and the other assumptions shown below. (The
examples are intended to portray differences in death benefits; Accumulated
Value assumptions may not be realistic.)

  The death benefit shown in these examples is based upon the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit for the following examples: Policy II, Option A; Policy
III, Options A and D; Policy IV, Options A, C, and D; Policy VII, Option A;
and Policy VIII, Options A and C.
 
  If the death benefit is equal to the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, we
reserve the right to reduce the death benefit by requiring Partial Withdrawals
be made in order to maintain the net amount at risk at a level that will not
exceed three times the death benefit on the Policy Date. Such Partial
Withdrawals may be taxable to you in whole or in part. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations." The $25 withdrawal fee will not be assessed on Partial
Withdrawals we require.
 
  The Policy is intended to qualify as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code for Federal tax purposes, and the death benefit under
the Policy is intended to qualify for the income tax exclusion under the
Internal Revenue Code. Unless otherwise specified by you in writing, it is
intended that the Policy will not be treated as a modified endowment contract
under the Internal Revenue Code. To these ends, the provisions of the Policy,
including any other Rider, Benefit, or endorsement, are to be interpreted to
ensure such tax qualification and to prevent the Policy from being treated as
a modified endowment contract, notwithstanding any other provisions to the
contrary.
 
  If at any time the premiums paid under your Policy exceed the amount
allowable for such tax qualification, such excess amount shall be removed from
the Policy as of the date of its payment, and any appropriate adjustment in
the death benefit shall be made as of such date. The excess amount shall be
refunded to you no later than 60 days after the end of the applicable Policy
Year. The excess amount removed from the Policy and refunded to you may be
adjusted for interest or for changes in Accumulated Value attributable to the
excess amount. If for some reason this excess amount is not refunded by then,
the death benefit under this Policy shall
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
be increased retroactively and prospectively so that at no time is the death
benefit ever less than the amount needed to ensure such tax qualification. To
the extent that the death benefit as of any time is increased by this
provision, appropriate adjustments shall be made retroactively in any cost of
insurance or supplemental benefits as of that time that are consistent with
such an increase.
 
  If at any time the premiums or other amounts paid under the Policy exceed
the limit for avoiding modified endowment contract treatment, and you have not
specified in writing that such treatment is acceptable to you, such excess
amount shall be removed from the Policy as of the date of its payment, and any
appropriate adjustment in the Policy's death benefit shall be made as of such
date. This excess amount shall be refunded to you no later than 60 days after
the end of the applicable Policy Year. The excess amount removed from the
Policy and refunded to you may be adjusted for interest or for changes in
Accumulated Value attributable to the excess amount. If this excess amount is
not refunded by then, the death benefit under your Policy shall be increased
retroactively and prospectively to the minimum amount necessary so that at no
time is the death benefit ever less than the amount needed to avoid modified
endowment contract treatment. To the extent the death benefit as of any time
is increased by this provision, appropriate adjustments shall be made,
retroactively or otherwise, in any cost of insurance or supplemental benefits
as of that time that are consistent with such an increase.
 
  All calculations of death benefit will be made as of the end of the
Valuation Period during which the Survivor dies. We will pay interest on death
benefit proceeds from the date of the Survivor's death to the date of payment
at an annual rate of not less than 4% or if higher, the interest rate required
by state law. Death benefit proceeds may be paid to the Beneficiary in a lump
sum or under a payment plan offered under the Policy. Your Policy should be
consulted for details.
 
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
 
  After the fifth Policy Year, you may request that the death benefit option
under your Policy be changed to Option A or B. Changes to Option C or D will
not be available. Changes in the death benefit option may be made only once
per Policy Year and should be made in writing to our Home Office. The
effective date of any such change shall be the next Monthly Payment Date on or
next following the date we receive your written request at our Home Office.
 
  A change in the death benefit under a Policy will result in a change in the
Face Amount of the Policy so that the death benefit under the new death
benefit option will equal the death benefit under the former option
immediately prior to the change. From that point on, the change in option will
affect the determination of the death benefit. In addition, a change in death
benefit option may affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this
charge varies with the net amount at risk, which generally is the amount by
which the death benefit exceeds Accumulated Value. A change will not be
permitted if it would result in a Face Amount of less than $100,000, although
we reserve the right to waive this minimum under certain circumstances.
 
  Unless otherwise specified by you in writing, any request for a death
benefit option change will not be accepted by us if the option change would
cause your Policy to be treated as a modified endowment contract.
 
DECREASE IN FACE AMOUNT
 
  You may request a decrease in the Face Amount under your Policy subject to
approval from us. A decrease in Face Amount may only be made once per Policy
Year and only after the first Policy Year. Decreasing the Face Amount could
decrease the death benefit. The amount of change in the death benefit will
depend, among other things, upon the death benefit option chosen by you and
whether, and the degree to which, the death benefit under your Policy exceeds
the Face Amount prior to the change. Changing the Face Amount could affect the
subsequent level of the death benefit while your Policy is in force and the
subsequent level of Policy values. A decrease in Face Amount may decrease the
net amount at risk, which may decrease your cost of insurance charge.
 
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
  Any request for a decrease in Face Amount must be made by written
application to our Home Office. It will become effective on the Monthly
Payment Date on or next following the date we receive your written request at
our Home Office.
 
  A decrease will not be permitted if the Face Amount would fall below
$100,000, although we reserve the right to waive the minimum Face Amount under
certain circumstances, such as for group or sponsored arrangements. A decrease
in Face Amount during the first ten Policy Years will result in surrender
charges being deducted from the Accumulated Value. See "Surrender Charges". If
a decrease in the Face Amount would result in total premiums paid exceeding
the premium limitations prescribed under tax law to qualify your Policy as a
life insurance contract, we may refund to you the amount of such excess above
the premium limitations.
 
  We reserve the right to disallow a requested decrease, and will not permit a
requested decrease, among other reasons, (1) if compliance with the guideline
premium limitations under tax law resulting from the requested decrease would
result in immediate termination of your Policy, (2) if, to effect the
requested decrease, payments to you would have to be made from Accumulated
Value for compliance with the guideline premium limitations, and the amount of
such payments would exceed the Net Cash Surrender Value under your Policy, or
(3) if the decrease would cause your Policy to be treated as a modified
endowment contract and you have not specified in writing that such treatment
is acceptable to you.
 
POLICY VALUES
 
  Accumulated Value. The Accumulated Value is the sum of the amounts under the
Policy held in each Investment Option, as well as the amount set aside in our
Loan Account to secure any Policy Debt.
 
  On each Valuation Date, the portion of your Accumulated Value allocated to
any particular Variable Account will be adjusted to reflect the investment
experience of that Variable Account. On each Monthly Payment Date, the portion
of the Accumulated Value allocated to a particular Investment Option also will
be adjusted to reflect the assessment of the monthly deduction. See
"Determination of Accumulated Value". No minimum amount of Accumulated Value
is guaranteed. You bear the risk for the investment experience of Accumulated
Value allocated to the Variable Accounts.
 
  Cash Surrender Value. The Cash Surrender Value of your Policy equals the
Accumulated Value less the surrender charge. Thus, the Accumulated Value will
exceed your Policy's Cash Surrender Value by the amount of the surrender
charge. Once the surrender charge has expired, the Accumulated Value will
equal the Cash Surrender Value.
 
  Net Cash Surrender Value. The Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy equals
the Cash Surrender Value less any outstanding Policy Debt. You can surrender
your Policy at any time while either Insured is living and receive its Net
Cash Surrender Value. See "Surrender".
 
DETERMINATION OF ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
  Although the death benefit under your Policy can never be less than the
Policy's Face Amount, your Accumulated Value will vary to a degree that
depends upon several factors, including investment performance of the Variable
Accounts to which Accumulated Value has been allocated, payment of premiums,
the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt, Partial Withdrawals, and the
charges assessed in connection with your Policy. There is no guaranteed
minimum Accumulated Value, and you bear the entire investment risk relating to
the investment performance of Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable
Accounts.
 
  The amounts allocated to the Variable Accounts will be invested in shares of
the corresponding Portfolio of the Fund. The investment performance of the
Variable Accounts will reflect increases or decreases in the net asset value
per share of the corresponding Portfolio and any dividends or distributions
declared by a Portfolio. Any dividends or distributions from any Portfolio of
the Fund will be automatically reinvested in shares of the same Portfolio,
unless we, on behalf of the Separate Account, elect otherwise.
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
  Assets in the Variable Accounts are divided into accumulation units, which
are a measure of value used for bookkeeping purposes. When you allocate net
premiums to a Variable Account, the Policy is credited with accumulation
units. In addition, other transactions including loans, a surrender, Partial
Withdrawals, transfers, and assessment of charges against your Policy affect
the number of accumulation units credited to your Policy. The number of units
credited or debited in connection with any such transaction is determined by
dividing the dollar amount of such transaction by the unit value of the
affected Variable Account. The unit value of each Variable Account is
determined on each Valuation Date. The number of units credited will not
change because of subsequent changes in unit value.
 
  The accumulation unit value of each Variable Account's unit initially was
$10. The unit value of a Variable Account on any Valuation Date is calculated
by adjusting the unit value from the previous Valuation Date for (1) the
investment performance of the Variable Account, which is based upon the
investment performance of the corresponding Portfolio of the Fund, (2) any
dividends or distributions paid by the corresponding Portfolio, and (3) the
charges, if any, that may be assessed by us for income taxes attributable to
the operation of the Variable Account.
 
POLICY LOANS
 
  You may borrow money from us using your Policy as the only security for the
loan by submitting a proper written request to our Home Office. We may in our
discretion permit loans to be made by telephone if a properly completed
Authorization For Telephone Requests has been filed at our Home Office. A loan
may be taken any time your Policy is in force. The minimum loan that can be
taken at any time is $500 ($200 in Connecticut, $250 in Oregon). The maximum
amount that can be borrowed at any time is the greater of (1) 100% of your
Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account plus 90% of your Accumulated Value in
the Variable Accounts, less any surrender charges that would have been imposed
if the Policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken, or (2) 100% of
the product of (a X b/c - d) where (a) equals the Policy's Accumulated Value
less any surrender charge that would be imposed if the Policy were surrendered
on the date the loan is taken and less 12 times the current monthly deduction;
(b) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate credited; (c) equals 1 plus
the annual loan interest rate currently charged; and (d) equals any existing
Policy Debt.
 
  When you take a loan, an amount equal to the loan is transferred out of your
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options into the Loan Account to secure
the loan. Unless you request otherwise, loan amounts will be deducted from the
Investment Options in the proportion that each bears to your Accumulated Value
less Policy Debt.
 
  The Policy loan interest rate is 4.50% for years one through ten, and 4.25%
thereafter. We will credit interest monthly on amounts held in the Loan
Account to secure the loan at an annual effective rate of 4.00%.
 
  You may repay all or part of the loan at any time while your Policy is in
force. Interest on a loan is accrued daily and is due for the prior year on
each Policy Anniversary. If interest is not paid when due, it will be added to
the amount of the loan principal and interest will begin accruing thereon from
that date. An amount equal to the loan interest charged will be transferred to
the Loan Account from the Investment Options on a proportional basis.
 
  Unless you request otherwise, any loan repayment will be transferred into
the Investment Options in accordance with the most recent premium allocation
instructions. In addition, on each Policy Anniversary any interest earned on
the loan balance held in the Loan Account will be transferred to each of the
Investment Options in accordance with your most recent premium allocation
instructions. Any payment we receive from you while you have a loan
outstanding will be first considered a premium payment, unless you tell us in
writing it is a loan repayment.
 
  While the amount to secure the loan is held in the Loan Account, you forgo
the investment experience of the Variable Accounts and the current interest
rate of the Fixed Account on the loaned amount. Thus a loan, whether or not
repaid, will have a permanent effect on your Policy's values and might have an
effect on the amount and duration of the death benefit. If not repaid, the
Policy Debt will be deducted from the amount of
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
death benefit upon the death of the Survivor, the Cash Surrender Value upon
surrender, or the refund of premium upon exercise of the Free-Look Right.
 
  A loan may affect the length of time your Policy remains in force. Your
Policy will lapse when Accumulated Value minus Policy Debt is insufficient to
cover the monthly deduction against your Policy's Accumulated Value on any
Monthly Payment Date and the minimum payment required is not made during the
grace period. Moreover, your Policy may enter the grace period more quickly
when a loan is outstanding, because the loaned amount is not available to
cover the monthly deduction. Additional payments or repayment of a portion of
Policy Debt may be required to keep your Policy in force. See "Lapse".
 
  A loan will not be treated as a distribution from your Policy and will not
result in taxable income to you unless your Policy is a modified endowment
contract, in which case a loan will be treated as a distribution that may give
rise to taxable income.
 
  For information on the tax treatment of loans, see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations".
 
SURRENDER
 
  You may fully surrender your Policy at any time during the life of either
Insured. The amount received in the event of a full surrender is your Policy's
Net Cash Surrender Value, which is equal to its Accumulated Value less any
applicable surrender charge and less any outstanding Policy Debt.
 
  You may surrender your Policy by sending a written request together with
your Policy to our Home Office. The proceeds will be determined as of the end
of the Valuation Period during which the request for a surrender is received.
You may elect to have the proceeds paid in cash or applied under a payment
plan offered under the Policy. See "Payment Plan". For information on the tax
effects of a surrender of a Policy, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations".
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
  A Policy Owner may make Partial Withdrawals of Net Cash Surrender Value
starting on the first Policy Anniversary. The portion of the first Partial
Withdrawal in each of the first 15 Policy Years of up to the lesser of $10,000
or 10% of the Cash Surrender Value will not reduce the Face Amount under your
Policy. The excess of any Partial Withdrawal over this amount may cause a
reduction in Face Amount if the death benefit option is Option A or D, as
described below.
 
  Partial Withdrawals must be for at least $500, and your Policy's Net Cash
Surrender Value after the withdrawal must be at least $500. If there is any
Policy Debt, the maximum Partial Withdrawal is limited to the excess, if any,
of your Cash Surrender Value immediately prior to the withdrawal over the
result of the Policy Debt divided by 90%. If you do not make a Partial
Withdrawal during one of the first 15 Policy Years, the amount that you could
have withdrawn without affecting Face Amount does not carry over in the
following year.
 
  You may make a Partial Withdrawal by submitting a proper written request to
our Home Office. As of the effective date of any withdrawal, your Accumulated
Value, Cash Surrender Value, and Net Cash Surrender Value will be reduced by
the amount of the withdrawal. The amount of the withdrawal will be allocated
proportionately to your Accumulated Value in the Investment Options unless you
request otherwise. If the Survivor dies after the request for a withdrawal is
sent to us and prior to the withdrawal being effected, the amount of the
withdrawal will be deducted from the death benefit proceeds, which will be
determined without taking into account the withdrawal. A withdrawal fee of $25
will be charged for a Partial Withdrawal. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
 
  Except as noted above, when a Partial Withdrawal is made on a Policy on
which you have selected death benefit Option A or D, the Face Amount under
your Policy is decreased by the excess, if any, of the Face Amount over the
result of the death benefit immediately prior to the Partial Withdrawal minus
the amount of the Partial Withdrawal. A Partial Withdrawal will not change the
Face Amount of your Policy if you have selected death benefit Option B or C.
However, assuming that the death benefit is not equal to the Guideline Minimum
Death
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
Benefit, the Partial Withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by the amount of
the Partial Withdrawal. To the extent the death benefit is the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit, a Partial Withdrawal may cause the death benefit to
decrease by an amount greater than the amount of the Partial Withdrawal. See
"Death Benefit".
 
  Unless otherwise specified by you in writing, no Partial Withdrawal request
will be accepted by us if the Partial Withdrawal would cause your Policy to be
treated as a modified endowment contract.
 
  For information on the tax treatment of Partial Withdrawals, see "Federal
Income Tax Considerations".
 
RIGHT TO EXAMINE A POLICY--FREE-LOOK RIGHT
 
  You have a Free-Look Right, under which your Policy may be returned within
10 days after you receive it (15 days in Colorado; 20 days in North Dakota;
and 30 days if you are a resident of California and are age 60 or older), or
within 45 days after you complete the application for insurance, whichever is
later. However, in Pennsylvania, you have a different Free-Look Right, under
which your Policy may be returned only within 10 days after you receive it.
For this purpose, your application is considered complete when you sign it. It
can be mailed or delivered to us or our agent. The returned Policy will be
treated as if we never issued it, except as indicated below, and we will
refund any charges deducted from premiums received, any net premium allocated
to the Fixed Account, plus the sum of your Accumulated Value allocated to the
Variable Accounts plus any Policy Charges and Fees deducted from your
Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts. If you reside in a state that
requires us to return premium payments to Policy Owners who exercise the Free-
Look Right, we will refund the amount of the premium paid. If you have taken a
loan during the Free-Look Period, the Policy Debt will be deducted from the
amount refunded. When the application is approved and the Policy is issued,
net premiums will be allocated according to your instructions, unless the
Policy is sold to a resident of a state that requires a refund of premium, in
which case, until the Free-Look Transfer Date, net premiums received by us
will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account (except for amounts
allocated to the Loan Account to secure a Policy loan). See "Allocation of Net
Premiums".
 
LAPSE
 
  Your Policy will remain in force until the earliest of the death of the
Survivor or a full surrender of your Policy, unless before either of these
events, Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to pay the current
monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date and a grace period expires without
sufficient additional premium payment or loan repayment by your Policy Owner.
If your Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to cover the
current monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date, you must pay during the
grace period a minimum of three times the full monthly deduction due on the
Monthly Payment Date when the insufficiency occurred to avoid termination of
your Policy. We will not accept any payment if it would cause your total
premium payments to exceed the maximum permissible premium for your Policy's
Face Amount under the Internal Revenue Code. This is unlikely to occur unless
you have outstanding Policy Debt, in which case you could repay a sufficient
portion of the Policy Debt to avoid termination. In this instance, you may
wish to repay a portion of Policy Debt to avoid recurrence of the potential
lapse. If premium payments have not exceeded the maximum permissible premiums
for your Policy's Face Amount, you may wish to make larger or more frequent
premium payments to avoid recurrence of the potential lapse.
 
  If your Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to cover the
monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date, we will deduct the amount that is
available. We will notify you (and any assignee of record) of the payment
required to keep your Policy in force. You will then have a "grace period" of
61 days, measured from the date the notice is sent, to make the required
payment. Your Policy will remain in force through the grace period. Failure to
make the required payment within the grace period will result in termination
of coverage under your Policy, and your Policy will lapse with no value. If
the required payment is made during the grace period, any premium paid will be
allocated among the Investment Options in accordance with your current premium
allocation instructions. Any monthly deduction due will be charged to the
Investment Options on a proportionate basis. If the Survivor dies during the
grace period, the death benefit proceeds will equal the amount of the death
benefit immediately prior to the commencement of the grace period, reduced by
any unpaid monthly deductions and any Policy Debt.

REINSTATEMENT
 
  We will reinstate a lapsed Policy (but not a Policy which has been
surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value) at any time within five years
after the end of the grace period provided we receive the following: (1) a
written application from the Policy Owner; (2) evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us for each Insured; and (3) payment of all monthly deductions
that were due and unpaid during the grace period, and payment of a premium at
least sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months after the date
of reinstatement.
 
  When your Policy is reinstated, the Accumulated Value will be equal to your
Accumulated Value on the date of the lapse subject to the following: If your
Policy is reinstated after the first Monthly Payment Date following lapse, the
Accumulated Value will be reduced by the amount of Policy Debt on the date of
lapse and no Policy Debt will exist on the date of the reinstatement. If your
Policy is reinstated on the Monthly Payment Date next following lapse, any
Policy Debt on the date of lapse will also be reinstated. No interest on
amounts held in our Loan Account to secure Policy Debt will be paid or
credited between lapse and reinstatement. Reinstatement will be effective as
of the Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date of approval by us,
and Accumulated Value minus, if applicable, Policy Debt will be allocated
among the Investment Options in accordance with your most recent premium
allocation instructions.
 
                            CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
PREMIUM LOAD
 
  A premium load is deducted from each premium payment under a Policy prior to
allocation of the net premium to the Policy Owner's Accumulated Value. The
premium load consists of the following items:
 
    Sales Load. The sales load is equal to 5% of each premium paid during the
  first ten Policy Years and 3% of each premium paid thereafter.
 
    The sales load is deducted to compensate us for the cost of distributing
  the Policies. The amount derived by us from the sales load is not expected
  to be sufficient to cover the sales and distribution expenses in connection
  with the Policies. If surrendered within 10 years after issuance, the
  Policy will also be subject to a sales surrender charge, which is described
  in "Surrender Charge". To the extent that sales and distribution expenses
  exceed sales loads and any amounts derived from the sales surrender charge,
  such expenses may be recovered from other charges, including amounts
  derived from the charge for mortality and expense risks and from mortality
  gains.
 
    We may reduce or waive the sales load on Policies sold to our directors
  or employees or any of our affiliates or to trustees or any employees of
  the Fund.
 
    State and Local Premium Tax Charge. A charge equal to 2.35% is assessed
  against each premium to pay applicable state and local premium taxes.
  Premium taxes vary from state to state, and in some instances, among
  municipalities. The 2.35% rate approximates the average tax rate expected
  to be paid on premiums from all states. Premium taxes vary from state to
  state, and in some instances, among municipalities. We reserve the right to
  change the premium tax charge to reflect any changes in the law. We do not
  expect to profit from this charge.
 
    Federal Tax Charge. A charge equal to 1.50% is assessed against each
  premium to pay applicable Federal Tax. We reserve the right to change the
  Federal Tax charge to reflect any changes in the law.
 
DEDUCTIONS FROM ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
  A charge called the monthly deduction is deducted from a Policy's
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options beginning on the Monthly Payment
Date on or next following the date we first become obligated under the Policy
and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter. Unless you request otherwise, the
monthly deduction will be deducted from the Investment Options on a prorata
basis. The monthly deduction consists of the following items:
 
  Cost of Insurance. This monthly charge compensates us for the anticipated
cost of paying death benefits in excess of Accumulated Value to Beneficiaries
of joint Insureds who die. The amount of the charge is equal to a current cost
of insurance rate multiplied by the net amount at risk under a Policy at the
beginning of the Policy Month. We may use any profit we derive from this
charge for any lawful purpose, including the cost of claims processing and
investigation. The net amount at risk for these purposes is equal to the
amount of death benefit
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
payable at the beginning of the Policy Month divided by 1.00327374 (a discount
factor to account for return deemed to be earned during the month) less the
Accumulated Value at the beginning of the Policy Month.
 
  Each Policy contains guaranteed cost of insurance rates that may not be
increased. The guaranteed rates are intended to reflect the insurance risk
associated with joint Insureds. They are based on certain of the 1980
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables (and where unisex cost of
insurance rates apply, the 1980 Commissioners Ordinary Mortality Table B), and
the Ages, gender (where permissible), and underwriting classes of the
Insureds. The guaranteed cost of insurance rates are set equal to zero
starting at the Policy Anniversary where the younger Insured reaches age 100,
and will remain zero from that point on. As of the date of this prospectus, we
charge "current rates" that are lower (i.e., less expensive) than the
guaranteed rates, and we may also charge current rates in the future. Like the
guaranteed rates, the current rates also vary with the Ages, gender (where
permissible), and underwriting classes of the Insureds. They also vary with
the number of completed Policy Years. The cost of insurance rates generally
increase with the Ages of the Insureds.
 
  Administrative Charge. A monthly administrative charge is deducted equal to
$16 in each of the first 60 Policy Months and $6 per month thereafter. The
administrative charge is assessed to reimburse us for the expenses associated
with administration and maintenance of the Policies. The administrative charge
is guaranteed never to exceed $16 during the first 60 Policy Months and $6 per
month thereafter. We do not expect to profit from this charge.
 
  The monthly administrative charges will be waived on the second or
subsequent Policies acquired by you on the lives of the Insureds who are the
same Insureds as on your initial Policy, and that Policy is in force. However,
we deduct $200 from the initial premium to cover processing costs.
 
  Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. A monthly charge is deducted for
mortality and expense risks assumed by us. The mortality and expense risk
charge consists of two components: a Face Amount Component and an Accumulated
Value Component.
 
  During the first ten Policy Years, the Face Amount Component will be
assessed at a rate determined with reference to the initial Face Amount of the
Policy. The rate will be equal to a Face Amount Component Factor per $1,000 of
initial Face Amount. Face Amount Component Factors are shown in Appendix B,
and they are based upon the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds at the Policy
Date. For example, for a Policy where the Joint Equal Age attributable to the
Insureds is 50 on the Policy Date, and where the Face Amount is $100,000, the
Face Amount Component Factor would be 0.102, and the monthly Face Amount
Component for the first ten Policy Years would be $10.20. This component is
not assessed after the tenth Policy Year.
 
  In addition, a monthly Accumulated Value Component is assessed at an annual
rate equal to .30% of Accumulated Value during the first twenty Policy Years
and .10% of Accumulated Value thereafter. For purposes of this component, the
Accumulated Value is based upon its value on the Monthly Payment Date after
the deduction of the cost of insurance charge and charges for any optional
insurance Riders or Benefits added.
 
  The mortality and expense risk charge is assessed to compensate us for
assuming certain mortality and expense risks under the Policies. The mortality
risk assumed is that Insureds, as a group, may live for a shorter period of
time than estimated and, therefore, the cost of insurance charges specified in
the Policy will be insufficient to meet actual claims. The expense risk
assumed is that other expenses incurred in issuing and administering the
Policies and operating the Separate Account will be greater than the charges
assessed for such expenses. We will realize a gain from this charge to the
extent it is not needed to provide the mortality benefits and expenses under
the Policies, and will realize a loss to the extent the charge is not
sufficient. We may use any profit derived from this charge for any lawful
purpose, including any distribution expenses not covered by the sales load or
sales surrender charge. See "Surrender Charge" below.
 
  Optional Insurance Benefits Charges. The monthly deduction will include
charges for any optional insurance Riders or Benefits added to the Policy. See
"Optional Insurance Benefits".
 
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
SURRENDER CHARGE
 
  We will assess a Surrender Charge against Accumulated Value upon surrender
of a Policy within ten years after its issuance. The Surrender Charge consists
of two charges: an underwriting surrender charge and a sales surrender charge.
 
  Underwriting Surrender Charge. The underwriting surrender charge will be
assessed at a rate determined with reference to the Joint Equal Age of the
Insureds on the Policy Date for each $1,000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount
in accordance with the schedule shown in Appendix A.
 
  The amount of the charge remains level for the first Policy Year. After the
first Policy Anniversary, the charge decreases by 0.9259% per month until it
reaches zero at the end of the 120th Policy Month.
 
  The charge is based upon the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds and the Face
Amount on the Policy Date, and it does not increase as the Insureds get older
or with increases in the Face Amount. For example, if Insureds of Joint Equal
Age 50 purchase a Policy with an initial Face Amount of $100,000 and surrender
the Policy at the end of the third Policy Year, the underwriting surrender
charge would be $404.45.
 
  The underwriting surrender charge is designed to cover the administrative
expenses associated with underwriting and issuing a Policy, including the
costs of processing applications, conducting medical examinations, determining
insurability and the Insureds' underwriting class, and establishing policy
records. We do not expect to profit from the underwriting surrender charge.
 
  Sales Surrender Charge. During the first Policy Year, the sales surrender
charge is equal to 25% of the lesser of the premiums paid under the Policy or
of the Sales Surrender Target. The Sales Surrender Target is equal to a
specified amount that varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds for each
$1000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount in accordance with a schedule shown in
Appendix B. After the first Policy Year, the charge as calculated above is
adjusted by a reduction factor. This reduction factor is equal to 99.0741% in
the 13th Policy Month and reduces by 0.9259% per month until it reaches zero
at the end of the 120th Policy Month. The Sales Surrender Target does not
increase as the Insureds get older or with increases in the Face Amount due to
a death benefit option change.
 
  For example, if Insureds of Joint Equal Age 50 purchase a Policy with a Face
Amount of $100,000, the Sales Surrender Target, based upon the assumptions
described above, would be $905. The maximum sales surrender charge during the
first Policy Year would be 25% of this amount, or $226.25.
 
  The purpose of the sales surrender charge is to reimburse us for some of the
expenses of distributing the Policies.
 
  We may reduce or waive the sales surrender charge on Policies sold to our
directors or employees or any of our affiliates or to trustees or any
employees of the Fund.
 
  A Surrender Charge (sales and underwriting) may also be deducted on a
decrease in Face Amount in an amount that reflects, as a fractional amount of
the total Surrender Charge that would be applied if the Policy were fully
surrendered, the amount of the decrease relative to the Face Amount
immediately prior to the decrease. Such a Surrender Charge will reduce the
Accumulated Value and will be allocated proportionately to the Accumulated
Value in the Investment Options. After the decrease, the total Surrender
Charge is reduced. The new total Surrender Charge will be determined by
dividing the Face Amount after the decrease by the Face Amount immediately
prior to the decrease and multiplying the result by the total Surrender Charge
that would have applied based on the Face Amount before the decrease.
 
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
 
  A withdrawal fee of $25 will be deducted proportionately from the
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options each time a Partial Withdrawal
occurs.
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
CORPORATE PURCHASERS
 
  The Policy is available for individuals and for corporations and other
institutions. For corporations or other group or sponsored arrangements
purchasing one or more Policies, we may reduce the amount of the sales
surrender charge, underwriting surrender charge, or other charges where the
expenses associated with the sale of the Policy or Policies or the
underwriting or other administrative costs associated with the Policy or
Policies are reduced. Sales, underwriting or other administrative expenses may
be reduced, for reasons such as expected economies resulting from a corporate
purchase or a group or sponsored arrangements, from the amount of the initial
premium payment or payments, or the amount of projected premium payments.
 
OTHER CHARGES
 
  We will bear the direct operating expenses of the Separate Account. Each
Variable Account available to you purchases shares of the corresponding
Portfolio of the underlying Fund. The Fund and each of its Portfolios incur
certain charges, including the investment advisory fee, and certain operating
expenses. The Fund is governed by its Board of Trustees. The Fund's expenses
are not fixed or specified under the terms of the Policy and these expenses
may vary from year to year. The advisory fees and other expenses are more
fully described in "Summary of the Policy: Fund Annual Expenses After Expense
Limitation" and in the prospectus of the Fund.
 
GUARANTEE OF CERTAIN CHARGES
 
  We guarantee that certain charges will not increase. This includes the
charge for mortality and expense risks, the administrative charge with respect
to the guaranteed rates described above, the premium load, the guaranteed cost
of insurance rates, and the surrender charge.
 
                               OTHER INFORMATION
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
  The following discussion provides a general description of the federal
income tax considerations relating to the Policy. This discussion is based
upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are
currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). This discussion
is not intended as tax advice. Because of the inherent complexity of such laws
and the fact that tax results will vary according to the particular
circumstances of the individual involved, tax advice may be needed by a person
contemplating the purchase of the Policy. It should, therefore, be understood
that these comments concerning federal income tax consequences are not an
exhaustive discussion of all tax questions that might arise under the Policy
and that special rules which are not discussed herein may apply in certain
situations. Moreover, no representation is made as to the likelihood of
continuation of federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws or of the
current interpretations by the IRS or the courts. Future legislation may
adversely affect the tax treatment of life insurance policies or other tax
rules described in this discussion or that relate directly or indirectly to
life insurance policies. Finally, these comments do not take into account any
state or local income tax considerations which may be involved in the purchase
of the Policy.
 
  While we believe that the Policy meets the statutory definition of life
insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and hence
will receive federal income tax treatment consistent with that of traditional
fixed life insurance, the area of the tax law relating to the definition of
life insurance does not explicitly address all relevant issues (including, for
example, the treatment of substandard risk policies, policies with term
insurance on the Insureds, and certain tax requirements relating to joint
survivorship life insurance policies). We reserve the right to make changes to
the Policy if changes are deemed appropriate by us to attempt to assure
qualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract. If a Policy were
determined not to qualify as life insurance, the Policy would not provide the
tax advantages normally provided by life insurance. The discussion below
summarizes the tax treatment of life insurance contracts.
 
  The death benefit under a Policy should be excludable from the gross income
of the Beneficiary (whether the Beneficiary is a corporation, individual or
other entity) under IRC Section 101(a)(1) for purposes of the
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
regular federal income tax and you generally should not be deemed to be in
constructive receipt of the cash values, including increments thereof, under
the Policy until a full surrender thereof or a Partial Withdrawal. In
addition, certain Policy loans may be taxable in the case of Policies that are
modified endowment contracts. PROSPECTIVE POLICY OWNERS THAT INTEND TO USE
POLICIES TO FUND DEFERRED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE
URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF
SUCH ARRANGEMENTS. PROSPECTIVE CORPORATE OWNERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX
ADVISORS ABOUT THE TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE IN THEIR PARTICULAR
CIRCUMSTANCES FOR PURPOSES OF THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX APPLICABLE TO
CORPORATIONS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL TAX UNDER IRC SECTION 59A. Changing the
Policy Owner may also have tax consequences. Exchanging a Policy for another
involving the same Insureds generally will not result in the recognition of
gain or loss according to Section 1035(a) of the IRC. Changing the Insureds
under a Policy will, however, not be treated as a tax-free exchange under
Section 1035, but rather as a taxable exchange.
 
  Diversification Requirements. To comply with regulations under Section
817(h) of the IRC, each Portfolio of the Fund is required to diversify its
investments. For details on these diversification requirements, see "What is
the Federal Income Tax Status of the Fund" in the Fund's prospectus.
 
  The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will
be considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner
possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to
exercise investment control over the assets. In those circumstances, income
and gains from the separate account assets would be includable in the variable
policy owner's gross income. The Treasury Department also announced, in
connection with the issuance of regulations concerning diversification, that
those regulations "do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in
which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may
cause the investor [i.e., the Policy Owner], rather than the insurance
company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the account." This
announcement also stated the guidance would be issued by way of regulations or
rulings on the "extent to which policyholders may direct their investments to
particular subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying
assets." As of the date of this prospectus, no such guidance has been issued.
 
  The ownership rights under your Policy are similar to, but different in
certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that policy owners were not owners of separate account assets. For
example, you have additional flexibility in allocating premium payments and
Policy values. These differences could result in your being treated as the
owner of your Policy's pro rata portion of the assets of the Separate Account.
In addition, we do not know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the
regulations or ruling which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to
issue. We therefore reserve the right to modify the Policy, as deemed
appropriate by us, to attempt to prevent you from being considered the owner
of your Policy's pro rata share of the assets of the Separate Account.
Moreover, in the event that regulations are adopted or rulings are issued,
there can be no assurance that the Portfolios will be able to operate as
currently described in the Prospectus, or that the Fund will not have to
change any Portfolio's investment objective or investment policies.
 
  Tax Treatment of Policies. IRC Section 7702A defines a class of life
insurance contracts referred to as modified endowment contracts. Under this
provision, the policies will be treated for tax purposes in one of two ways.
Policies that are not classified as modified endowment contracts will be taxed
as conventional life insurance contracts, as described below. Taxation of pre-
death distributions from Policies that are classified as modified endowment
contracts and that are entered into on or after June 21, 1988 is somewhat
different, as described below.
 
  A life insurance contract becomes a "modified endowment contract" if, at any
time during the first seven contract years, the sum of actual premiums paid
exceeds the sum of the "seven-pay premium." Generally, the "seven-pay premium"
is the level annual premium, such that if paid for each of the first seven
years, will fully pay for all future death and endowment benefits under a life
insurance contract. For example, if the "seven-pay premiums" were $1,000, the
maximum premiums that could be paid during the first seven years to avoid
"modified endowment" treatment would be $1,000 in the first year; $2,000
through the first two years and $3,000 through the first three years, etc.
Under this test, a Select Estate Preserver Policy may or may not be a modified
endowment contract, depending on the amount of premiums paid during each of
the Policy's first seven
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
contract years. Changes in the Policy, including changes in death benefits,
may require "retesting" of a Policy to determine if it is to be classified as
a modified endowment contract.
 
  Conventional Life Insurance Policies. If a Policy is not a modified
endowment contract, upon full surrender for its Net Cash Surrender Value, the
excess, if any, of the Net Cash Surrender Value plus any outstanding Policy
Debt over the cost basis under a Policy will be treated as ordinary income for
federal income tax purposes. Such a Policy's cost basis will usually equal the
premiums paid less any premiums previously recovered in Partial Withdrawals.
Under IRC Section 7702, if a Partial Withdrawal occurring within 15 years of
the Policy Date is accompanied by a reduction in benefits under the Policy,
special rules apply to determine whether part or all of the cash received is
paid out of the income of the Policy and is taxable. Cash distributed to a
Policy Owner on Partial Withdrawals occurring more than 15 years after the
Policy Date will be taxable as ordinary income to the Policy Owner to the
extent that it exceeds the cost basis under a Policy.
 
  We also believe that loans received under Policies that are not modified
endowment contracts will be treated as indebtedness of the Owner for Federal
income tax purposes, and that no part of any loan under the Policy will
constitute income to the Owner unless the Policy is surrendered or matures or
lapses. CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR ON WHETHER INTEREST PAID (OR ACCRUED BY
AN ACCRUAL BASIS TAXPAYER) ON A LOAN UNDER A POLICY THAT IS NOT A MODIFIED
ENDOWMENT CONTRACT MAY BE DEDUCTIBLE. Tax law provisions may limit the
deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds that are used to purchase or
carry certain life insurance policies.
 
  Modified Endowment Contracts. Pre-death distributions from modified
endowment contracts may give rise to taxable income. Upon full surrender or
maturity of the Policy, the Policy Owner would recognize ordinary income for
federal income tax purposes equal to the amount by which the Net Cash
Surrender Value plus Policy Debt exceeds the investment in the Policy (usually
the premiums paid plus certain pre-death distributions that were taxable less
any premiums previously recovered that were excludable from gross income).
Upon Partial Withdrawals and Policy loans, the Policy Owner would recognize
ordinary income to the extent allocable to income (which includes all
previously non-taxed gains) on the Policy. The amount allocated to income is
the amount by which the Accumulated Value of the Policy exceeds investment in
the Policy immediately before the distribution. If two or more policies which
are classified as modified endowment contracts are purchased from any one
insurance company, including us, during any calendar year, all such policies
will be aggregated for purposes of determining the portion of the pre-death
distributions allocable to income on the policies and the portion allocable to
investment in the policies.
 
  Amounts received under a modified endowment contract that are included in
gross income are subject to an additional tax equal to 10% of the amount
included in gross income, unless an exception applies. The 10% additional tax
does not apply to any amount received: (i) when the taxpayer is at least 59
1/2 years old; (ii) which is attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled;
or (iii) which is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
(not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of
the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer
and his or her beneficiary.
 
  If a Policy was not originally a modified endowment contract but becomes
one, under Treasury Department regulations which are yet to be prescribed,
pre-death distributions received in anticipation of a failure of a Policy to
meet the seven-pay premium test are to be treated as pre-death distributions
from a modified endowment contract (and, therefore, are to be taxable as
described above) even though, at the time of the distribution(s) the Policy
was not yet a modified endowment contract. For this purpose, pursuant to the
IRC, any distribution made within two years before the Policy is classified as
a modified endowment contract shall be treated as being made in anticipation
of the Policy's failing to meet the seven-pay premium test.
 
  It is unclear whether interest paid (or accrued by an accrual basis
taxpayer) on Policy Debt with respect to a modified endowment contract
constitutes interest for federal income tax purposes. CONSULT YOUR TAX
ADVISOR. Tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on
loan proceeds that are used to purchase or carry certain life insurance
policies.
 
  Reasonableness Requirement for Charges. Another provision of the tax law
deals with allowable charges for mortality costs and other expenses that are
used in making calculations to determine whether a contract
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
qualifies as life insurance for federal income tax purposes. For life
insurance policies entered into on or after October 21, 1988, these
calculations must be based upon reasonable mortality charges and other charges
reasonably expected to be actually paid. The Treasury Department has issued
proposed regulations and is expected to promulgate temporary or final
regulations governing reasonableness standards for mortality charges. Under
the proposed regulations, the standards applicable to joint survivor life
insurance policies are not entirely clear. While we believe under IRS
pronouncements currently in effect that the mortality costs and other expenses
used in making calculations to determine whether the Policy qualifies as life
insurance meet the current requirements, complete assurance cannot be given
that the IRS would necessarily agree. It is possible that future regulations
will contain standards that would require us to modify the mortality charges
used for the purposes of the calculations in order to retain the qualification
of the Policy as life insurance for federal income tax purposes, and we
reserve the right to make any such modifications.
 
  Accelerated Living Benefits. An Accelerated Living Benefit Rider is
available in connection with the Policy. Benefits under the Accelerated Living
Benefit Rider may be taxable. The Internal Revenue Service has issued proposed
regulations and is expected to issue final regulations in the near future
under which accelerated living benefits that meet the requirements set forth
in the regulations can be received without incurring a Federal income tax. The
precise requirements which will be incorporated in the final regulations are
not known.
 
  In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a life insurance policy
that has an accelerated living benefit rider can meet certain technical
aspects of the definition of "life insurance contract" under the Code. The IRS
regulations mentioned above are expected to set forth the requirements under
which a policy with an accelerated living benefits rider will be deemed to
meet the definitional requirements of a life insurance contract. Pacific
Mutual reserves the right to (but is not obligated to) modify the Rider to
conform with requirements under the final regulations. OWNERS CONSIDERING
ADDING AN ACCELERATED LIVING BENEFIT RIDER OR EXERCISING RIGHTS UNDER THE
RIDER SHOULD FIRST CONSULT A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISOR.
 
  Split Policy Option Rider. This Rider permits a Policy to be split into two
individual policies. A Policy split could have adverse tax consequences. For
example, it is not clear whether a Policy split will be treated as a
nontaxable exchange under IRC Section 1031 through 1043. If a Policy split is
not treated as a nontaxable exchange, a split could result in the recognition
of taxable income in an amount up to any gain in the Policy at the time of the
split. OWNERS CONSIDERING ADDING A SPLIT POLICY OPTION RIDER OR EXERCISING
RIGHTS UNDER THIS RIDER SHOULD FIRST CONSULT A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISER.
 
  Other. Federal estate and gift and state and local estate, inheritance, and
other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on
the jurisdiction and the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
 
  FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION ON FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX
CONSIDERATIONS, A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISER SHOULD BE CONSULTED.
 
  WE DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS OF ANY POLICY.
 
CHARGE FOR OUR INCOME TAXES
 
  For federal income tax purposes, variable life insurance generally is
treated in a manner consistent with traditional fixed life insurance. We will
review the question of the charge to the Separate Account for our federal
income taxes periodically. A charge may be made for any federal income taxes
incurred by us that are attributable to the Separate Account or to our
operations with respect to the Policy. A charge might become necessary if our
tax treatment is ultimately determined to be other than what we currently
believe it to be, if there are changes made in the federal income tax
treatment of variable life insurance at the insurance company level, or if
there is a change in our tax status.
 
  Under current laws, we may incur state and local taxes (in addition to
premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant.
If there is a material change in applicable state or local tax laws, we
reserve the right to charge the Account for such taxes, if any, attributable
to the Account.
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
VOTING OF FUND SHARES
 
  In accordance with our view of present applicable law, we will exercise
voting rights attributable to the shares of each Portfolio of the Fund held in
the Variable Accounts at any regular and special meetings of the shareholders
of the Fund on matters requiring shareholder voting under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or by the Fund. We will exercise these voting rights based
on instructions received from persons having the voting interest in
corresponding Variable Accounts of the Separate Account. However, if the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or any regulations thereunder should be
amended, or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a
result we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares of the Fund in
our own right, we may elect to do so.
 
  You are the person having the voting interest under a Policy. Unless
otherwise required by applicable law, the number of votes as to which you will
have the right to instruct will be determined by dividing your Accumulated
Value in a Variable Account by the net asset value per share of the
corresponding Portfolio of the Fund. Fractional votes will be counted. The
number of votes as to which a Policy Owner will have the right to instruct
will be determined as of the date coincident with the date established by the
Fund for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Fund.
If required by the SEC, we reserve the right to determine in a different
fashion the voting rights attributable to the shares of the Fund based upon
the instructions received from Policy Owners. Voting instructions may be cast
in person or by proxy.
 
  If there are shares of a Portfolio held by a Variable Account for which we
do not receive timely voting instructions, we will vote those shares in the
same proportion as all other shares of that Portfolio held by that Variable
Account for which we have received timely voting instructions. If we hold
shares of a Portfolio in our General Account, we will vote those shares in the
same proportion as other votes cast by all of our separate accounts in the
aggregate.
 
DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
 
  We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that voting rights be
exercised so as to cause a change in the subclassification or investment
objective of a Portfolio or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory
contract. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions of changes
initiated by Policy Owners in the investment policy or the investment adviser
(or portfolio manager) of a Portfolio, provided that our disapproval of the
change is reasonable and is based on a good faith determination that the
change would be contrary to state law or otherwise inappropriate, considering
the Portfolio's objectives and purpose, and considering the effect the change
would have on us. In the event we do disregard voting instructions, a summary
of that action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next
report to Policy Owners.
 
REPORT TO OWNERS
 
  A statement will be sent quarterly to you setting forth a summary of the
transactions which occurred during the Policy Quarter and indicating the death
benefit, Face Amount, Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value, and any Policy
Debt. In addition, the statement will indicate the allocation of Accumulated
Value among the Investment Options and any other information required by law.
Confirmations will be sent out upon unscheduled premium payments and
transfers, loans, loan repayments, withdrawals, and surrenders. Confirmation
of scheduled transactions under dollar cost averaging and portfolio
rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement.
 
  You will also be sent annual financial statements for the Separate Account
and the Fund, the latter of which will include a list of the portfolio
securities of the Fund, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940,
and/or such other reports as may be required by federal securities laws.
 
SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
 
  We reserve the right, subject to compliance with the law as then in effect,
to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the securities that
are held by the Separate Account or any Variable Account or that
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
the Separate Account or any Variable Account may purchase. If shares of any or
all of the Portfolios of the Fund should no longer be available for
investment, or if, in the judgment of our management, further investment in
shares of any or all Portfolios of the Fund should become inappropriate in
view of the purposes of the Policies, we may substitute shares of another
Portfolio of the Fund or of a different fund for shares already purchased, or
to be purchased in the future under the Policies.
 
  Where required, we will not substitute any shares attributable to a Policy
Owner's interest in a Variable Account or the Separate Account without notice,
Policy Owner approval, or prior approval of the SEC and without following the
filing or other procedures established by applicable state insurance
regulators.
 
  We also reserve the right to establish additional Variable Accounts of the
Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new Portfolio of the Fund,
or in shares of another investment company, a portfolio thereof, or suitable
investment vehicle. New Variable Accounts may be established when, in our sole
discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant, and any new
Variable Accounts will be made available to existing Policy Owners on a basis
to be determined by us. We may also eliminate one or more Variable Accounts
if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, or investment conditions so
warrant. We may also terminate and liquidate any Variable Account.
 
  In the event of any such substitution or change, we may, by appropriate
endorsement, make such changes in this and other policies as may be necessary
or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. If deemed by us to be
in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the Policies, the
Separate Account may be operated as a management investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other form permitted by law, it may be
deregistered under that Act in the event such registration is no longer
required, or it may be combined with other separate accounts of our or an
affiliate of ours. Subject to compliance with applicable law, we also may
combine one or more Variable Accounts and may establish a committee, board, or
other group to manage one or more aspects of the operation of the Separate
Account.
 
CHANGES TO COMPLY WITH LAW
 
  We reserve the right to make any change without your consent to the
provisions of the Policy to comply with, or give you the benefit of, any
federal or state statute, rule, or regulation, including but not limited to
requirements for life insurance contracts and modified endowment under the
IRC, under regulations of the United States Treasury Department or any state.
 
                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
 
  Performance information for the Variable Accounts of the Separate Account
may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy Owners or
prospective purchasers. Performance information in advertisements or sales
literature may be expressed in any fashion permitted under applicable law,
which may include presentation of a change in a Policy Owner's Accumulated
Value attributable to the performance of one or more Variable Accounts, or as
a change in a Policy Owner's death benefit. Performance quotations may be
expressed as a change in a Policy Owner's Accumulated Value over time or in
terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on the Policy Owner's
Accumulated Value, based upon a hypothetical Policy in which premiums have
been allocated to a particular Variable Account over certain periods of time
that will include one year or from the commencement of operation of the
Variable Account. If a Portfolio has been in existence for a longer period of
time than its corresponding Variable Account, we may also present hypothetical
returns that the Variable Account would have achieved had it invested in its
corresponding Portfolio for periods through the commencement of operation of
the Portfolio. For the period that a particular Variable Account has been in
existence, the performance will be actual performance and not hypothetical in
nature. Any such quotation may reflect the deduction of all applicable charges
to the Policy including premium load, the cost of insurance, the
administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge. The varying
death benefit options will result in different expenses for the cost of
insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different Accumulated
Values. Since the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit is equal to a percentage
(e.g., 250% for an Insured Age 40)
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
times Accumulated Value, it will vary with Accumulated Value. The cost of
insurance charge varies according to the Ages of the Insureds and therefore
the cost of insurance charge reflected in the performance for the hypothetical
Policy is based on the hypothetical Insureds and death benefit option assumed.
The quotation may also reflect the deduction of the surrender charge, if
applicable, by assuming a surrender at the end of the particular period,
although other quotations may simultaneously be given that do not assume a
surrender and do not take into account deduction of the surrender charge or
other charges.
 
  Performance information for a Variable Account may be compared, in
advertisements, sales literature, and reports to Policy Owners, to: (i) other
variable life separate accounts or investment products tracked by research
firms, ratings services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate
accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria; and
(ii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to assess the real rate
of return from the purchase of a Policy. Reports and promotional literature
may also contain our rating or a rating of our claim-paying ability as
determined by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
 
  Performance information for any Variable Account of the Separate Account
reflects only the performance of a hypothetical Policy whose Accumulated Value
is allocated to the Variable Account during a particular time period on which
the calculations are based. Performance information should be considered in
light of the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and quality
of the Portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests, and the
market conditions during the given period of time, and should not be
considered as a representation of what may be achieved in the future.
 
                               THE FIXED ACCOUNT
 
  You may allocate all or a portion of your net premium payments and transfer
Accumulated Value to our Fixed Account. Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account
become part of our "General Account," which supports insurance and annuity
obligations. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in
the Fixed Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
and the Fixed Account has not been registered as an investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the Fixed Account nor
any interest therein is generally subject to the provisions of these Acts and,
as a result, the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this
prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosures regarding the Fixed
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 the prospectus. For more details regarding the Fixed
Account, see the Policy itself.
 
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
 
  Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account become part of our General Account,
which consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate
Account and other separate accounts of ours. Subject to applicable law, we
have sole discretion over the investment of the assets of our General Account.
 
  You may elect to allocate net premium payments to the Fixed Account, the
Separate Account, or both. You may also transfer Accumulated Value from the
Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account, or from the Fixed Account to the
Variable Accounts, subject to the limitations described below. We guarantee
that the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account will be credited with a
minimum interest rate of .32737% per month, compounded monthly, for a minimum
effective annual rate of 4%. Such interest will be paid regardless of the
actual investment experience of the Fixed Account. In addition, we may at our
sole discretion declare current interest in excess of the 4%, which will be
guaranteed for one year. (The portion of your Accumulated Value that has been
used to secure Policy Debt will be credited with an interest rate of .32737%
per month, compounded monthly, for an effective annual rate of 4%.)
 
  We bear the full investment risk for the Accumulated Value allocated to the
Fixed Account.
 
                                      32
<PAGE>
 
DEATH BENEFIT
 
  The death benefit under the Policy will be determined in the same fashion
for a Policy Owner who has Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account as for a
Policy Owner who has Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts. See "Death
Benefit".
 
POLICY CHARGES
 
  Policy charges will be the same whether you who allocate net premiums or
transfer Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account or allocate net premiums to
the Variable Accounts. These charges consist of the premium load, including
the sales load, state and local premium tax charge, and federal tax charge;
the deductions from Accumulated Value, including the charges for the cost of
insurance, administrative charge, mortality and expense risk charge, the
charge for any optional insurance benefits added by rider, any death benefit
change charge; the surrender charge; and the withdrawal charge. Any amounts
that we pay for income taxes allocable to the Variable Accounts will not be
charged against the Fixed Account. In addition, the operating expenses of the
Variable Accounts, as well as the investment advisory fee charged by the Fund,
will not be paid directly or indirectly by you to the extent your Accumulated
Value is allocated to the Fixed Account; however, to such extent, you will not
participate in the investment experience of the Variable Accounts.
 
TRANSFERS, SURRENDERS, WITHDRAWALS, AND POLICY LOANS
 
  Amounts may be transferred from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account
and from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts, subject to the following
limitations. If you reside in states that require us to refund premiums to
Owners who return their Policies during the Free Look Period, you may not make
transfers until after the Free Look Transfer Date. No transfer may be made if
the Policy is in a grace period and the required premium has not been paid.
You may not make more than one transfer from the Fixed Account to the Variable
Accounts in any 12-month period. Further, you may not transfer more than the
greater of 25% of your Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account or $5,000 in any
year. Currently there is no charge imposed upon transfers; however, we reserve
the right to assess such a charge in the future and to impose other
limitations on the number of transfers, the amount of transfers, and the
amount remaining in the Fixed Account or Variable Accounts after a transfer.
Transfers from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account may be made in the
Policy Month preceding a Policy Anniversary, except that if you reside in
Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, or Pennsylvania, you may make
such a transfer at any time during the first eighteen Policy Months.
 
  You may also make full surrenders and Partial Withdrawals from the Fixed
Account to the same extent as an Owner who has invested in the Variable
Accounts. See "Surrender" and "Partial Withdrawals". You may borrow up to the
greater of (1) 90% of your Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts and 100%
of your Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, less any surrender charges
that would have been imposed if your Policy were surrendered on the date the
loan is taken, or (2) 100% of the product of (a X b/c - d) where (a) equals
the Policy's Accumulated Value less any surrender charge that would be imposed
if the Policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken and less 12 times
the current monthly deductions; (b) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest
rate credited; (c) equals 1 plus the annual loan rate currently charged; and
(d) equals any existing Policy Debt. See "Policy Loans". Transfers,
surrenders, and withdrawals payable from the Fixed Account, and the payment of
Policy loans allocated to the Fixed Account, may be delayed for up to six
months.
 
                             MORE ABOUT THE POLICY
 
OWNERSHIP
 
  The Policy Owner is the individual named as such in the application or in
any later change shown in our records. While the Insureds are living, the
Policy Owner alone has the right to receive all benefits and exercise all
rights that the Policy grants or we allow.
 
  Joint Owners. If more than one person is named as Policy Owner, they are
joint Owners. Any Policy transaction requires the signature of all persons
named jointly. Unless otherwise provided, if a joint Owner dies, ownership
passes to the surviving joint Owner(s). When the last joint Owner dies,
ownership passes through that person's estate, unless otherwise provided.
 
 
                                      33
<PAGE>
 
BENEFICIARY
 
  The Beneficiary is the individual named as such in the application or any
later change shown in our records. You may change the Beneficiary at any time
during the life of either Insured by written request on forms provided by us,
which must be received by us at our Home Office. The change will be effective
as of the date this form is signed. Contingent and/or concurrent Beneficiaries
may be designated. You may designate a permanent Beneficiary, whose rights
under your Policy cannot be changed without his or her consent. Unless
otherwise provided, if no designated Beneficiary is living upon the death of
the Survivor, you are the Beneficiary, if living; otherwise your estate is the
Beneficiary.
 
  We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary. Unless otherwise
provided, in order to receive proceeds at the Survivor's death, the
Beneficiary must be living at the time of the Survivor's death.
 
THE CONTRACT
 
  This Policy is a contract between the Owner and us. The entire contract
consists of the Policy, a copy of the initial application, all subsequent
applications to change the Policy, any endorsements, any Riders and Benefits,
and all additional Policy information sections (specification pages) added to
the Policy.
 
PAYMENTS
 
  We ordinarily will pay death benefit proceeds, Net Cash Surrender Value on
surrender, Partial Withdrawals, and loan proceeds based on allocations made to
the Variable Accounts, and will effect a transfer between Variable Accounts or
from a Variable Account to the Fixed Account within seven days after we
receive all the information needed to process a payment or, if sooner, any
other period required by law.
 
  However, we can postpone the calculation or payment of such a payment or
transfer of amounts based on investment performance of the Variable Accounts
if:
 
  .  The New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than customary weekend
     and holiday closing or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
     restricted as determined by the SEC; or
 
  .  An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which
     disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not
     reasonably practicable to determine the value of a Variable Account's
     net assets; or
 
  .  The SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of Policy
     Owners.
 
ASSIGNMENT
 
  You may assign a Policy as collateral security for a loan or other
obligation. No assignment will bind us unless the original, or a copy, is
received at our Home Office, and will be effective only when recorded by us.
An assignment does not change the ownership of the Policy. However, after an
assignment, the rights of any Owner or Beneficiary will be subject to the
assignment. The entire Policy, including any attached payment option, Rider,
Benefit, and endorsement, will be subject to the assignment. We will not be
responsible for the validity of any assignment. Unless otherwise provided, the
assignee may exercise all rights this Policy grants except (a) the right to
change the Policy Owner or Beneficiary; and (b) the right to elect a payment
option. Assignment of a Policy that is a modified endowment contract may
generate taxable income. (See "Federal Income Tax Considerations".)
 
ERRORS ON THE APPLICATION
 
  If the Age or sex of either Insured has been misstated, the Face Amount
shall be adjusted as follows in order to reflect the correct Age or sex: the
Face Amount before the adjustment will be multiplied by the monthly cost of
insurance rate used in the Policy Year in which the misstatement is
discovered, based on the misstated Age or sex, and the result will be divided
by the monthly cost of insurance rate for the Policy Year in which the
misstatement is discovered, based on the correct Age and sex. For all Policy
Months following the discovery of the misstatement, Accumulated Value will be
calculated using cost of insurance charges, Rider charges and
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
Benefit charges based on the correct Age and sex, but Accumulated Value for
all Policy Months through the Month in which the misstatement is discovered
will not be recalculated. Surrender charges and mortality and expense risk
charges will not be recalculated. If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, no
adjustment will be made for a misstatement of sex. See "Charges and
Deductions: Cost of Insurance".
 
INCONTESTABILITY
 
  We may contest the validity of your Policy if any material misstatements are
made in the application. However, your Policy will be incontestable after the
expiration of the following: the initial Face Amount cannot be contested with
respect to a given Insured after the Policy has been in force during the
Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date; and reinstatement
cannot be contested after it has been in force during an Insured's lifetime
for two years from the date of reinstatement.
 
PAYMENT IN CASE OF SUICIDE
 
  If either Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years
from the Policy Date, we will limit the death benefit proceeds to the premium
payments less any withdrawal amounts, dividends paid by us in cash, and Policy
Debt.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
  The current dividend scale is zero and we do not anticipate that dividends
will be paid. Any dividends that do become payable will be paid in cash.
 
POLICY ILLUSTRATIONS
 
  Upon request, we will send you an illustration of future benefits under your
Policy based on both guaranteed and current cost factor assumptions. However,
we reserve the right to charge a $25 fee for requests for illustrations in
excess of one per Policy year.
 
PAYMENT PLAN
 
  Surrender or withdrawal benefits may be used to purchase a payment plan
providing monthly income for the lifetime of the Insureds, and death benefit
proceeds may be used to purchase a payment plan providing monthly income for
the lifetime of the Beneficiary. The monthly payments consisting of proceeds
plus interest will be paid in equal installments for at least ten years. The
purchase rates for the payment plan are guaranteed not to exceed those shown
in the Policy, but current rates that are lower (i.e., providing greater
income) may be established by us from time to time. This benefit is not
available if the income would be less than $100 a month. Surrender or
withdrawal benefits or death benefit proceeds may be used to purchase any
other payment plan that we make available at that time.
 
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
 
  Subject to certain requirements, you may elect to add one or more of the
following optional insurance benefits to the Policy by a Rider at the time of
application for your Policy (subject to approval of state insurance
authorities). These optional benefits are: guaranteed payment of a specified
coverage amount upon the death of the Survivor, subject to stated conditions;
provision for level or varying coverage on the same two Insureds; renewable
level or varying term insurance on either Insured, or individually on the
Insureds; allowance to split the Policy into individual policies for each
Insured without evidence of individual insurability; allowance to split the
Policy into individual policies for each Insured subject to evidence of
individual insurability; and Policy Owner access to a portion of the Policy's
proceeds if an Insured has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in
a life expectancy of six months or less (or such other period that may be
required by state insurance authorities). The cost of any additional insurance
benefits will be deducted as part of the monthly deduction against Accumulated
Value. See "Charges and Deductions". The amounts of these benefits are fully
guaranteed at issue. Certain restrictions may apply and are described in the
applicable Rider or Benefit. Under certain
 
                                      35
<PAGE>
 
circumstances, a Policy can be combined with an added protection benefit to
result in a combined coverage amount (face amount) equal to the same Face
Amount that could be acquired under a single policy. For given Insureds,
combining a Policy and a benefit may result in a Face Amount component of the
mortality and expense risk charge and an underwriting surrender charge for a
Policy that are lower than the single Policy providing the same Face Amount.
An insurance agent authorized to sell the Policy can describe these extra
benefits further. Samples of the provisions are available from us upon written
request.
 
LIFE INSURANCE RETIREMENT PLANS
 
  Any Policy Owners or applicants who wish to consider using the Policy as a
funding vehicle for (non-qualified) retirement purposes may obtain additional
information from us. An Owner could pay premiums under a Policy for a number
of years, and upon retirement, could utilize a Policy's loan and partial
withdrawal features to access Accumulated Value as a source of retirement
income for a period of time. This use of a Policy does not alter an Owner's
rights or our obligations under a Policy; the Policy would remain a life
insurance contract that, so long as it remains in force, provides for a death
benefit payable when the Survivor dies.
 
  Ledger illustrations are available upon request that portray how the Policy
can be used as a funding mechanism for (non-qualified) retirement plans,
referred to herein as "life insurance retirement plans," for individuals.
Ledger illustrations provided upon request show the effect on Accumulated
Value, Net Cash Surrender Value, and the net death benefit of premiums paid
under a Policy and Partial Withdrawals and loans taken for retirement income;
or reflecting allocation of premiums to specified Variable Accounts. This
information will be portrayed at hypothetical rates of return that are
requested. Charts and graphs presenting a comparison of retirement strategies
will also be furnished upon request. Any graphic presentations and retirement
strategy charts must be accompanied by a corresponding ledger illustration;
ledger illustrations must always include or be accompanied by comparable
information that is based on guaranteed cost of insurance rates and that
presents a hypothetical gross rate of return of 0%. Retirement illustrations
will not be furnished with a hypothetical gross rate of return in excess of
12%.
 
  The hypothetical rates of return in ledger illustrations are illustrative
only and should not be interpreted as a representation of past or future
investment results. Policy values and benefits shown in the ledger
illustrations would be different if the gross annual investment rates of
return were different from the hypothetical rates portrayed, if premiums were
not paid when due, and loan interest was paid when due. Withdrawals or loans
may have an adverse effect on Policy benefits.
 
RISKS OF LIFE INSURANCE RETIREMENT PLANS
 
  Using the Policy as a funding vehicle for retirement income purposes
presents several risks, including the risk that if the Policy is
insufficiently funded in relation to the income stream from the Policy, the
Policy can lapse prematurely and result in significant income tax liability to
the Owner in the year in which the lapse occurs. Other risks associated with
borrowing from the Policy also apply. Loans will be automatically repaid from
the gross death benefit at the death of the Survivor, resulting in the
estimated payment to the Beneficiary of the net death benefit, which will be
less than the gross death benefit and may be less than the Face Amount. Upon
surrender, the loan will be automatically repaid, resulting in the payment to
you of the Net Surrender Value. Similarly, upon lapse, the loan will be
automatically repaid. The automatic repayment of the loan upon lapse or
surrender will cause the recognition of taxable income to the extent that Net
Surrender Value plus the amount of the repaid loan exceeds your basis in the
Policy. Thus, under certain circumstances, surrender or lapse of the Policy
could result in tax liability to you. In addition, to reinstate a lapsed
Policy, you would be required to make certain payments as described under
"Reinstatement". Thus, you should be careful to fashion a life insurance plan
so that the Policy will not lapse prematurely under various market scenarios
as a result of withdrawals and loans taken from the Policy.
 
  The Policy will lapse if your Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is
insufficient to cover the current monthly deduction on any Monthly Payment
Date, and a grace period expires without your making a sufficient payment. To
avoid lapse of your Policy, it is important to fashion a payment stream that
does not leave your Policy with insufficient Accumulated Value. Determinations
as to the amount to withdraw or borrow each year
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
warrant careful consideration. Careful consideration should also be given to
any assumptions respecting the hypothetical rate of return, to the duration of
withdrawals and loans, and to the amount of Accumulated Value that should
remain in your Policy upon its maturity. Poor investment performance can
contribute to the risk that your Policy may lapse. In addition, the cost of
insurance generally increases with the Age of the Insured, which can further
erode existing Accumulated Value and contribute to the risk of lapse.
 
  Further, interest on a Policy loan is due to us for any Policy Year on the
Policy Anniversary. If this interest is not paid when due, it is added to the
amount of the outstanding Policy Debt, and interest will begin accruing
thereon from that date. This can have a compounding effect, and to the extent
that the outstanding loan balance exceeds your basis in the Policy, the
amounts attributable to interest due on the loans can add to your federal (and
possibly state) income tax liability.
 
  You should consult with your attorney and financial advisers in designing a
life insurance retirement plan that is suitable. Further, you should continue
to monitor the Accumulated Value net of loans remaining in a Policy to assure
that the Policy is sufficiently funded to continue to support the desired
income stream and so that it will not lapse. In this regard, you should
consult your periodic statements to determine the amount of their remaining
Accumulated Value minus the outstanding loan balance. Illustrations showing
the effect of charges under the Policy upon existing Accumulated Value or the
effect of future withdrawals or loans upon the Policy's Accumulated Value and
death benefit are available from your agent. Consideration should be given
periodically to whether the Policy is sufficiently funded so that it will not
lapse prematurely.
 
  Because of the potential risks associated with borrowing from a Policy, use
of the Policy in connection with a life insurance retirement plan may not be
suitable for all Policy Owners. These risks should be carefully considered
before borrowing from the Policy to provide an income stream.
 
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICY
 
  PMD is principal underwriter (distributor) of the Policies. PMD is
registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). We pay PMD for acting as
principal underwriter under a Distribution Agreement. PMD is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pacific Mutual. PMD's principal business address is 700 Newport
Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660.
 
  We and PMD have sales agreements with various broker-dealers under which the
Policy will be sold by registered representatives of the broker-dealers. The
registered representatives are required to be authorized under applicable
state regulations to sell variable life insurance. The broker-dealers are
required to be registered with the SEC and members of the NASD. We pay
compensation directly to broker-dealers for promotion and sales of the Policy.
The compensation payable to a broker-dealer for sales of the Policy may vary
with the Sales Agreement, but is not expected to exceed 90% of premiums paid
up to the first sales surrender target premium (as described in "Surrender
Charge: Sales Surrender Target" and in Appendix B), 8% of the premiums paid
under sales surrender targets 2 and 3; and on the premium in excess of the sum
of sales surrender targets 1-3, 4% of premiums paid in Policy years 1-10 and
2% of premiums paid thereafter. Broker-dealers may also receive annual renewal
compensation of up to .20% of Accumulated Value less Policy Debt. The annual
renewal compensation will be computed monthly and payable on each Policy
Anniversary. In addition, we may also pay override payments, expense
allowances, bonuses, wholesaler fees, and training allowances. Registered
representatives earn commissions from the broker-dealers with whom they are
affiliated for selling our Policies. Compensation arrangements vary among
broker-dealers. In addition, registered representatives who meet specified
production levels may qualify, under sales incentive programs adopted by us,
to receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid trips, expense-paid
educational seminars and merchandise and may elect to receive compensation on
a deferred basis. We make no separate deductions, other than as previously
described, from premiums to pay sales commissions or sales expenses.

  No officer or director listed above receives any compensation from the
Separate Account. No separately allocable compensation has been paid by us or

STATE REGULATION
 
  We are subject to the laws of the state of California governing insurance
companies and to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance of California. In
addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other
states and jurisdictions in which we are licensed or may become licensed to
operate. An annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed with the
Commissioner of Insurance of California and with regulatory authorities of
other states on or before March 1st in each year. This statement covers our
operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of December
31st of that year. Our affairs are subject to review and examination at any
time by the Commissioner of Insurance or his agents, and subject to full
examination of our operations at periodic intervals.
 
TELEPHONE TRANSFER AND LOAN PRIVILEGES
 
  A Policy Owner may request a transfer of Accumulated Value or a Policy Loan
by telephone if a properly completed Authorization for Telephone Requests
("Telephone Authorization") has been filed at our Home Office. All or part of
any telephone conversation with respect to transfer or loan instructions may
be recorded by us. Telephone instructions received by us by 1:00 P.M. Pacific
time, or the close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier, on any
Valuation Date will be processed as of the end of that Valuation Date in
accordance with your instructions, (presuming that the Free-Look Period has
expired). We reserve the right to deny any telephone transfer or loan request.
If all telephone lines are busy (which might occur, for example, during
periods of substantial market fluctuations), Policy Owners might not be able
to request transfers and loans by telephone and would have to submit written
requests.
 
  We have established procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by
telephone are genuine. Under the procedures, any person requesting a transfer
by telephone must provide certain personal identification as requested by us,
and we will send a written confirmation of all transfers requested by
telephone within 7 days of the transfer. Upon the submission of a Telephone
Authorization, you authorize us to accept and act upon telephone instructions
for transfers or loans involving your Policy, and agree that neither we, any
of our affiliates, Pacific Select Fund, nor any of our or their directors,
trustees, officers, employees or agents, will be liable for any loss, damages,
cost, or expense (including attorney's fees) arising out of any requests
effected in accordance with the Telephone Authorization and believed by us to
be genuine, provided that we have complied with its procedures. As a result of
this policy on telephonic requests, you will bear the risk of loss arising
from the telephone transfer and loan privileges.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  There are no legal proceedings pending to which the Separate Account is a
party, or which would materially affect the Separate Account.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (comprised of the Money Market, Managed
Bond, Government Securities, High Yield Bond, Growth, Equity Income, Multi-
Strategy, International, Equity Index, and Growth LT Variable Accounts) as of
December 31, 1995 and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Separate Account's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Variable
Accounts constituting the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account as of 
December 31, 1995 and the results of their operations for the year then ended 
and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years then ended, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is
registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, and is currently comprised of ten subaccounts called Variable
Accounts: the Money Market Variable Account, the Managed Bond Variable Account,
the Government Securities Variable Account, the High Yield Bond Variable
Account, the Growth Variable Account, the Equity Income Variable Account, the
Multi-Strategy Variable Account, the International Variable Account, the Equity
Index Variable Account, and the Growth LT Variable Account. The assets in each
Variable Account are invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of
Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), each of which pursues different investment
objectives and policies.

     The Separate Account was established by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("Pacific Mutual") on May 12, 1988 and commenced operations on 
November 22, 1988. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of
the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other
assets and liabilities of Pacific Mutual. The assets of the Separate Account
will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business
conducted by Pacific Mutual, but the obligations of the Separate Account,
including benefits related to variable life insurance, are obligations of
Pacific Mutual.

     The Separate Account held by Pacific Mutual represents funds from 
individual flexible premium variable life policies. The assets of these accounts
are carried at market value.

     The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

  A. Valuation of Investments

     Investments in shares of the Fund are valued at the reported net asset
values of the respective portfolios.

  B. Security Transactions

     Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost.

  C. Federal Income Taxes

     The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal
income tax return of Pacific Mutual, which is taxed as a life insurance company
under the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Under current tax law, no
Federal income taxes are expected to be paid by Pacific Mutual with respect to
the operations of the Separate Account.

2. DIVIDENDS

     During 1995, the Fund has declared dividends for each portfolio. The
amounts accrued by the Separate Account for its share of the dividends were
reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the related portfolio.

3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES

     With respect to variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate
Account, Pacific Mutual makes certain deductions from premiums for sales load
and state premium taxes before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account.
Pacific Mutual also makes certain deductions from the net assets of each
Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks Pacific Mutual assumes,
administrative expenses, cost of insurance, charges for optional benefits and
any sales and underwriting surrender charges. The operating expenses of the
Separate Account are paid by Pacific Mutual.

4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT

     Pacific Equities Network, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual, is
the principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded by
interests in the Separate Account, and is compensated by Pacific Mutual.

                     PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is
registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, and is currently comprised of twelve subaccounts called Variable
Accounts:  the Money Market Variable Account, the High Yield Bond Variable
Account, the Managed Bond Variable Account, the Government Securities Variable
Account, the Growth Variable Account, the Aggressive Equity Variable Account
(Note 5), the Growth LT Variable Account, the Equity Income Variable Account,
the Multi-Strategy Variable Account, the Equity Index Variable Account, the
International Variable Account, and the Emerging Markets Variable Account (Note
5). The assets in each Variable Account are invested in shares of the
corresponding portfolios of Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), each of which
pursues different investment objectives and policies.

   The Separate Account was established by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company
("Pacific Mutual") on May 12, 1988 and commenced operations on November 22,
1988. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate
Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and
liabilities of Pacific Mutual. The assets of the Separate Account will not be
charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by
Pacific Mutual, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits
related to variable life insurance, are obligations of Pacific Mutual.

   The Separate Account held by Pacific Mutual represents funds from individual
flexible premium variable life policies.  The assets of these accounts are
carried at market value.

   The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments

   Investments in shares of the Fund are valued at the reported net asset values
of the respective portfolios.

B. Security Transactions

   Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost.

C. Federal Income Taxes

   The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal income
tax return of Pacific Mutual, which is taxed as a life insurance company under
the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.  Under current tax law, no Federal
income taxes are expected to be paid by Pacific Mutual with respect to the
operations of the Separate Account.

2. DIVIDENDS

   During 1996, the Fund has declared dividends for each portfolio. The amounts
accrued by the Separate Account for its share of the dividends were reinvested
in additional full and fractional shares of the related portfolio.

3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES

   With respect to variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate
Account, Pacific Mutual makes certain deductions from premiums for sales load
and state premium taxes before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account.
Pacific Mutual also makes certain deductions from the net assets of each
Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks Pacific Mutual assumes,
administrative expenses, cost of insurance, charges for optional benefits and
any sales and underwriting surrender charges.  The operating expenses of the
Separate Account are paid by Pacific Mutual.

4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT

   Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc. (formerly known as Pacific Equities
Network), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual, is the principal
underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded by interests in the
Separate Account, and is compensated by Pacific Mutual.

5. AGGRESSIVE EQUITY VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND EMERGING MARKETS VARIABLE ACCOUNT

   The Separate Account has organized and registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission two new Variable Accounts, the Aggressive Equity Variable
Account and the Emerging Markets Variable Account.  Both Variable Accounts
commenced operations on April 8, 1996.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- ----------------------------
 
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations and surplus, and of cash flow for the years 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. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flow
for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of California and with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual") was established
    in 1868 and is organized under the laws of the State of California as a
    mutual life insurance company. Pacific Mutual conducts business in every
    state except New York.
 
    Pacific Mutual, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, has primary
    business segments which consist of life insurance, annuities, pension
    products, group employee benefits and investment management and advisory
    services. These primary business segments provide products for
    individuals and corporations and offer a range of investment products to
    institutions and pension plans.
 
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    Pacific Mutual's financial statements are prepared in accordance with
    accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department
    of the State of California, which are currently considered generally
    accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for mutual life insurance
    companies. 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 financial statements of Pacific Mutual
    are not consolidated with those of its subsidiaries.
 
    The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued certain
    pronouncements effective for 1996 financial statements and thereafter
    that will no longer allow statutory financial statements of mutual life
    insurance companies to be described as being prepared in conformity with
    GAAP.
 
    Upon the effective date of these pronouncements, in order for their
    financial statements to be described as being prepared in accordance with
    GAAP, mutual life insurance companies and their insurance subsidiaries
    will be required to adopt all applicable authoritative GAAP
    pronouncements in any general purpose financial statements that they may
    issue. Pacific Mutual intends to issue 1996 general purpose financial
    statements reflecting the adoption of all applicable GAAP pronouncements.
 
    INVESTMENTS
 
    Bonds qualifying for amortization are carried at amortized cost; all
    other bonds are carried at prescribed values. Preferred stocks are
    principally stated at amortized cost. Unaffiliated common stocks are
    carried at market value. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are
    reported on the equity method of accounting, except for Pacific
    Corinthian Life Insurance Company ("PCL") (Note 2) which is carried at
    cost.
 
    Mortgage loans and policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances.
    Real estate is valued at the lower of depreciated cost or market, less
    related mortgage debt. Real estate is depreciated using the straight-line
    method over 30 years.
 
    Short-term investments generally mature within a year and are carried at
    amortized cost which approximates estimated fair value.
 
    The Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") is computed in accordance with a
    prescribed formula and is designed to stabilize surplus against valuation
    and credit-related losses for certain invested assets. Changes to the AVR
    are reported as direct additions or deductions from surplus. The Interest
    Maintenance Reserve ("IMR"), included in other liabilities on the
    accompanying statements of financial position, results in the deferral of
    after-tax realized capital gains and losses attributable to interest rate
    fluctuations on fixed income investments. These capital gains and losses
    are amortized into investment income over the remaining life of the
    investment sold. The IMR was $25.3 million and $13.1 million as of
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
    Net realized capital gains and losses are determined on the specific
    identification method and are presented net of federal capital gains tax
    of $18.5 million and $(2.3) million and transfers to the IMR of $22.6
    million and $(.4) million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    respectively.
 
    Derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting are valued consistently
    with the hedged items. Realized hedged gains and losses on fixed income
    contracts are deferred and amortized over the average life of the related
    hedged assets or insurance liabilities. Realized gains and losses on
    equity securities, which are marked to market, are recognized
    immediately. Derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting are
    valued at market value through surplus while still held and when realized
    through income.
 
    On November 15, 1994, Pacific Financial Asset Management Corporation
    ("PFAMCo"), a wholly-owned, subsidiary of Pacific Mutual, and five of its
    subsidiaries (Pacific Investment Management Company and subsidiaries,
    Parametric Portfolio Associates, Inc., Cadence Capital Management
    Corporation, NFJ Investment Group, Inc. and Blairlogie Capital Management
    Limited) entered into an agreement and plan of consolidation with Thomson
    Advisory Group L.P., a Delaware limited partnership with publicly traded
    units, to merge into a newly capitalized partnership named PIMCO Advisors
    L.P. Collectively, PFAMCo and various of its subsidiaries beneficially
    own approximately 42% of the outstanding general and limited partner
    units of PIMCO Advisors L.P. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. Net cash
    distributions received on these units are recorded as income as permitted
    by the Insurance Department of the State of California.
 
    On December 21, 1995, Pacific Mutual completed a subsidiary
    reorganization in which PFAMCo became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary
    of Pacific Mutual. Prior to that PFAMCo was a wholly-owned second-tier
    subsidiary of Pacific Mutual. The intermediate company, Pacific Financial
    Holding Company ("PFHC") and certain of its assets and liabilities were
    merged into PFAMCo in connection with this reorganization. The remaining
    assets were merged into Pacific Mutual which consisted of investments in
    subsidiaries as follows: Pacific Equities Network, PM Group Life
    Insurance Company and PFAMCo.
 
    POLICY RESERVES AND DEPOSIT FUNDS
 
    Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method,
    the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method, or other modified reserve
    methods.
 
    Reserves for individual annuities are maintained principally on the
    Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method. Group annuity contract
    reserves are valued using the net single premium method.
 
    The liability for deposit funds, including guaranteed interest contracts,
    is based primarily upon and is not less than the policyowners' equity in
    their deposit accounts, including credited interest.
 
    REVENUES AND EXPENSES
 
    Premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period.
    Deposits made in connection with annuity contracts are recognized as
    revenue when received. Investment income is recorded as earned.
 
    Expenses, including policy acquisition costs, such as commissions, and
    Federal income taxes are charged to operations as incurred.
 
    DIVIDENDS
 
    Dividends are provided based on dividend formulas approved by the Board
    of Directors and reviewed for reasonableness and equitable treatment of
    policyowners by an independent consulting actuary.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
    Pacific Mutual is taxed as a life insurance company for Federal income
    tax purposes. Pacific Mutual's income tax return is consolidated with all
    its includable domestic subsidiaries except PCL. The amount of Federal
    income tax expense includes an equity tax calculated by a prescribed
    formula that incorporates a differential earnings rate between stock and
    mutual life insurance companies. Under prescribed statutory accounting
    practices, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recorded. The
    difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of
    35% for 1995 and 1994 is primarily due to certain policy acquisition
    costs being deferred and amortized over a ten-year period for tax
    purposes, reserve differences, non-taxable investment income and the
    equity tax.
 
    OTHER SURPLUS TRANSACTIONS
 
    Other surplus transactions consist primarily of unrealized capital gains
    and losses, changes in nonadmitted assets, and changes in the AVR.
 
    SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
 
    Separate account assets are recorded at market value and the related
    liabilities represent segregated contract owner funds maintained in
    accounts with individual investment objectives. The investment results of
    separate account assets generally pass through to separate account policy
    owners and contract owners.
 
    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in Notes 3
    and 4 have been determined using available market information and
    appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is
    required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
    Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts
    Pacific Mutual could realize in a current market exchange. The use of
    different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a
    significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
    practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities and generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
    the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
    and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
    from those estimates.
 
    RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
    financial statement presentation.
 
2.  REHABILITATION OF FIRST CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
    Pursuant to a five-year rehabilitation agreement approved by a California
    Superior Court and the Insurance Department of the State of California in
    July 1992, Pacific Mutual, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PCL, will
    facilitate the rehabilitation of First Capital Life Insurance Company
    ("FCL"). In accordance with the rehabilitation agreement, insurance
    policies of FCL were restructured and assumed by PCL on December 31,
    1992.
 
    The rehabilitation agreement provides for the holders of restructured
    policies to share in a substantial percentage of the unallocated surplus
    of PCL at the end of the rehabilitation period. Policyholders have the
    option to surrender their restructured policies with reduced benefits
    during this five-year period. During the rehabilitation
 
                                       71

2.  REHABILITATION OF FIRST CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (CONTINUED)
    plan period, PCL is prohibited from issuing new insurance policies. At
    the end of the rehabilitation period, PCL will merge into Pacific Mutual,
    with Pacific Mutual as the surviving entity. Substantially all of the
    assets and certain of the liabilities of FCL were assumed by PCL on
    December 31, 1992, pursuant to an assumption reinsurance agreement and
    asset purchase agreement.
 
    In accordance with the rehabilitation agreement, PCL was capitalized by a
    cash contribution of $8.3 million from Pacific Mutual and a $45 million
    certificate of contribution provided by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    Pacific Mutual for a total of $53.3 million initial capitalization.
 
    In the event PCL is unable to pay contract benefits, Pacific Mutual is
    obligated to contribute funds to pay those benefits in accordance with
    the rehabilitation agreement.
 
3.  INVESTMENTS IN DEBT SECURITIES
 
    The statement value, gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair
    value of bonds and redeemable preferred stocks ("debt securities"),
    including short-term investments, are shown below. The estimated fair
    value of publicly traded securities was based on quoted market prices.
    For securities not actively traded, estimated fair values were provided
    by independent pricing services specializing in "matrix pricing" and
    modeling techniques. Pacific Mutual also estimates certain fair values
    based on interest rates, credit quality and average maturity or from
    securities with comparable trading characteristics.

4.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
    The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
    values of these financial instruments as of December 31, 1995 and 1994:
 
    PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCKS
 
    The estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer
    quotes.
 
    MORTGAGE LOANS
 
    The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is determined by
    discounting the estimated future cash flows, using a year-end market rate
    which is applicable to the yield, credit quality and average maturity of
    the composite portfolio.
 
    POLICY LOANS
 
    The statement value of policy loans is a reasonable estimate of their
    fair value.
 
    GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACTS AND DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
 
    The estimated fair values of fixed-maturity guaranteed interest contracts
    are estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
    remaining maturities. The estimated fair values of deposit liabilities
    with no defined maturities are the amounts payable on demand.
 
    Pacific Mutual has issued PRO GIC and Diversifier GIC contracts to plan
    sponsors totaling $914 million as of December 31, 1995, pursuant to the
    terms of which the plan sponsor retains direct ownership and control of
    the assets related to these contracts. Pacific Mutual agrees to provide
    benefit responsiveness in the event that plan benefit requests exceed
    plan cash flows. In return for this guarantee, Pacific Mutual receives a
    fee which varies by contract. Pacific Mutual sets the investment
    guidelines to provide for appropriate credit quality and cash flow
    matching.
 
    ANNUITY LIABILITIES
 
    The fair value of annuity liabilities approximates statement value and
    primarily includes policyholder deposits and accumulated credited
    interest.
 
    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    Pacific Mutual utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to
    diversify its business risk and to minimize its exposure to fluctuations
    in market prices, interest rates, or basis risk. Pacific Mutual has also
    set aside a corporate total return portfolio utilizing derivative
    financial instruments. These instruments include interest rate and
    currency swaps, asset swaps, credit derivatives, forwards, options held,
    options written, and futures contracts, and involve elements of credit
    risk and market risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying
    financial statements. The notional amounts of those instruments reflect
    the extent of involvement in those various types of financial
    instruments. The estimated fair values of these instruments are based on
    market or dealer quotes. Pacific Mutual determines, on an individual
    counterparty basis, the need for collateral or other security to support
    financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risks.

4.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
    Options and Floors
    ------------------
    Pacific Mutual uses options and floors to hedge against fluctuations in
    interest rates and in its corporate total return portfolio. Cash
    requirements on options held are limited to the premium paid by Pacific
    Mutual at acquisition. Pacific Mutual uses written options on a limited
    basis consisting primarily of covered calls. Gains and losses on covered
    calls are offset by gains and losses on the underlying position. Options
    and floors held are reported as assets and options written are reported
    as liabilities. As of December 31, 1995, the notional amount of options
    held and options written approximated $1.3 billion and $30 million,
    respectively. As of December 31, 1994, the notional amount of options
    held and options written approximated $1.5 billion and $42 million,
    respectively. Option contracts mature during 1996 through 2007.
 
    Interest Rate Swap Contracts
    ---------------------------- 
    Pacific Mutual has entered into interest rate swap contracts to reduce
    the impact of changes in interest rates on its variable short-term and
    long-term investments. These contracts effectively change the interest
    rate exposure on variable rate notes to fixed rates which range from 1.9%
    to 8.9% as of December 31, 1995, and from 1.9% to 8.6% as of December 31,
    1994. Interest rate swap contracts mature during 1996 through 2013. As of
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, interest rate swap contracts outstanding with
    financial institutions had a total notional amount of $656 million and
    $411 million, respectively.
 
    Asset Swap Contracts
    --------------------
    Pacific Mutual has entered into an asset swap contract to reduce interest
    rate risk by shortening both the duration and maturity of one of its
    fixed rate investments. The asset swap contract matures during 1998. As
    of December 31, 1995, the asset swap contract had a notional amount of
    $10 million.
 
    Credit Derivatives
    ------------------ 
    Pacific Mutual uses credit derivatives to take advantage of market
    opportunities. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the notional amount of
    credit derivatives outstanding approximated $90 million and $66 million,
    respectively. Credit derivatives mature during 1996 through 2000.
 
    Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
    ----------------------------------- 
    Pacific Mutual enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that are
    used to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency-denominated assets
    and related income. Gains and losses on such agreements offset currency
    gains and losses on the related assets. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    the notional amount of foreign currency exchange contracts approximated
    $15 million and $35 million, respectively. Foreign currency exchange
    contracts expire during 1998 and 1999.
 
    Future Contracts
    ---------------- 
    Pacific Mutual uses exchange-traded futures contracts for asset and
    liability management of fixed maturity securities and insurance
    liabilities and for hedging market fluctuations on equity securities.
    Price changes on futures are settled daily through the daily margin cash
    flows. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the notional amounts of futures
    contracts were $340 million and $163 million, respectively. The notional
    amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash requirements, as
    Pacific Mutual intends to close out open positions prior to expiration.

4.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
    CONTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES
 
    The estimated fair value of contribution certificates is based on market
    quotes.
 
5.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
    Pacific Mutual manages its investments to limit credit risk by
    diversifying its portfolio among various security types and industry
    sectors. The credit risk of financial instruments is controlled through
    credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Real estate and
    mortgage loan investments are diversified by geographic location and
    property type. Management believes that significant concentrations of
    credit risk do not exist.
 
    Pacific Mutual is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
    by the other parties to the interest rate swaps contracts and other
    derivative securities. However, Pacific Mutual does not anticipate
    nonperformance by the counterparties.
 
6.  UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
 
    Pacific Mutual's subsidiary operations primarily include other life and
    health insurance and investment management and advisory services. As of
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, subsidiary assets were $4.5 billion and
    liabilities were $4.3 billion as of December 31, 1995 and $4.2 billion as
    of December 31, 1994.
 
    Revenue and net income, including PCL, were $908 million and $63 million
    for the year ended December 31, 1995, and $1.1 billion and $75 million
    for the year ended December 31, 1994. Dividends from subsidiaries totaled
    $64.7 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
    1994, respectively. Earnings of subsidiaries, excluding PCL, and
    excluding capital gains, are included in net investment income.
 
7.  BORROWINGS
 
    Pacific Mutual borrows for short-term needs by issuing commercial paper.
    Approximately $50 million was outstanding as of December 31, 1994,
    bearing an interest rate of 5.86%, and was repaid in January, 1995. There
    were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
 
    In addition, Pacific Mutual had available a revolving credit facility
    totaling approximately $250 million as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.
    There were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.
 
8.  CONTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES
 
    Pacific Mutual has $150 million of Contribution Certificates (the
    "Certificates"), also referred to as Surplus Notes, outstanding at an
    interest rate of 7.9% maturing on December 30, 2023. Interest is payable
    semiannually on June 30 and December 30. The Certificates may not be
    redeemed at the option of Pacific Mutual or any holder of the
    Certificates. The Certificates are unsecured and subordinated to all
    present and future senior indebtedness and policy claims of Pacific
    Mutual. Each payment of interest on and the payment of principal of the
    Certificates may be made only out of Pacific Mutual's surplus and with
    the prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of
    California. In accordance with accounting practices prescribed or
    permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of California, the
    Certificates are not part of the liabilities of Pacific Mutual and are
    included in surplus.

9.  REINSURANCE

    Pacific Mutual has reinsurance agreements with other insurance companies
    for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger
    risks. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, individual life
    and annuity premiums assumed were $16 million and $20 million and
    premiums ceded were $339 million and $363 million, respectively. Amounts
    recoverable from reinsurers for individual life and annuities include
    reinsured and paid claims of $8 million and $13 million as of December
    31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Policy benefits payable are net of
    reinsurance recoveries of $8 million and $4 million at December 31, 1995
    and 1994, respectively.
 
    Pacific Mutual also reinsures substantially all of its group life and
    health business with a subsidiary insurance company. Premiums of $72
    million and $90 million, and benefits of $53 million and $70 million were
    ceded during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    Amounts payable to the subsidiary under this agreement were $6 million
    and $8 million as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their
    obligations under these treaties, Pacific Mutual remains contingently
    liable. However, Pacific Mutual does not anticipate nonperformance by
    these assuming companies.
 
10. PENSION PLAN AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
 
    PENSION PLAN
 
    Pacific Mutual maintains a defined benefit pension plan covering eligible
    employees and agents. In 1995, Pacific Mutual accrued $2.5 million in
    pension expense that will be funded in 1996 based on the latest actuarial
    valuation report. No expense or contributions were made during 1994
    because of the funded status of the plans and related income tax
    considerations. Accumulated benefits and net assets available for
    benefits as of the latest valuation dates (January 1, 1995 and April 1,
    1994) are as follows:

    The above present values were determined using an assumed discount rate
    of 8.5% in 1995 and 1994.
 
    POSTRETIREMENT HEALTHCARE AND LIFE INSURANCE PLANS
 
    Pacific Mutual sponsors a defined benefit health care plan and a defined
    benefit life insurance plan ("The Plans") that provide postretirement
    benefits for all eligible retirees and their dependents. Generally,
    qualified employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach
    normal retirement age, have been covered under Pacific Mutual's policy as
    an active employee for a minimum continuous period prior to the date
    retired, and have an employment date before January 1, 1990. The Plans
    contain cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance and
    require retirees to make contributions which can be adjusted annually.

10. PENSION PLAN AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
    commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is
    limited to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Mutual reserves the right to
    modify or terminate The Plans at any time. As in the past, the general
    policy is to fund these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The amount of
    benefits paid under The Plans for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
    1994 was approximately $1.7 million for both years.
 
    Pacific Mutual utilizes the accrual method of accounting for the costs of
    The Plans as prescribed by the Insurance Department of the State of
    California and amortizes its transition obligation of $26.7 million over
    twenty years.
 
    Components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost are as follows (In

10. PENSION PLAN AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
    rate assumptions were increased by 1%, the accumulated postretirement
    benefit obligation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 would be increased by
    10.9% and 11.2%, respectively. The effect of this change would increase
    the aggregate of the service, interest and amortization cost components
    of the net periodic benefit cost by 11.4% and 13.6%, respectively.
 
    The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
    benefit obligation is 7% and 8% for 1995 and 1994, respectively.

    have a material adverse effect on the financial position of Pacific
    Mutual.

                                  (Unaudited)
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The information set forth in the statement of financial position as of
    September 30, 1996 and the statements of operations and surplus and of
    cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 is
    unaudited. The information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of
    normal recurring adjustments, that, in the opinion of management, are
    necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of
    operations of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual")
    for the periods indicated. Results of operations for the interim periods
    are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full
    year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
    footnotes thereto included in Pacific Mutual's audited financial
    statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994.
 
    Pacific Mutual's financial statements are prepared in accordance with
    accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department
    of the State of California, which are currently considered generally
    accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for mutual life insurance
    companies. 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 financial statements of Pacific Mutual
    are not consolidated with those of its subsidiaries.
 
    The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued certain
    pronouncements effective for 1996 financial statements and thereafter
    that will no longer allow statutory financial statements of mutual life
    insurance companies to be described as being prepared in conformity with
    GAAP. Upon the effective date of these pronouncements, in order for their
    financial statements to be described as being prepared in accordance with
    GAAP, mutual life insurance companies and their insurance subsidiaries
    will be required to adopt all applicable authoritative GAAP
    pronouncements in any general purpose financial statements that they may
    issue. Pacific Mutual intends to issue December 31, 1996 general purpose
    financial statements reflecting the adoption of all applicable GAAP
    pronouncements.

                                 ILLUSTRATIONS
 
  The following tables illustrate how the death benefits, Accumulated Values
and Net Cash Surrender Values of a hypothetical policy may vary over an
extended period of time assuming hypothetical rates of return equivalent to
constant gross annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%.
 
  The Policies are illustrated based on the Guideline Premium Test and include
the following:
 
  Death Benefit Option A, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $33,093,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, current
  cost of insurance rates:
 
  Death Benefit Option A, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $33,093,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55,
  guaranteed cost of insurance rates:
 
  Death Benefit Option B, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $124,955,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, current
  cost of insurance rates:
 
  Death Benefit Option B, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $124,955,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55,
  guaranteed cost of insurance rates:
 
  Death Benefit Option C, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $79,072,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, current
  cost of insurance rates:
 
  Death Benefit Option C, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $79,072,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55,
  guaranteed cost of insurance rates:
 
  Death Benefit Option D, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $54,009,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, current
  cost of insurance rates:
 
  Death Benefit Option D, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $54,009,
  male nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55,
  guaranteed cost of insurance rates:
 
  The values would be different from those shown if the gross annual
investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6% or 12% over a period of years, but
also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual policy years.
 
  The second column of each table, labeled "Total Premiums Paid Plus Interest
at 5%," shows the amount which would accumulate if an amount equal to the
annual premium (after taxes) were invested to earn interest at 5% compounded
annually. All premium payments are illustrated as if they were made at the
beginning of the year. These illustrations assume that no Policy loans have
been made.
 
  The amounts shown for the death benefits, Accumulated Values and Net Cash
Surrender Values reflect the fact that the net investment return on the
Variable Accounts is lower than the gross investment return on the assets as a
result of charges levied against the Variable Accounts. These values also take
into account the premium loads, the administrative charges and the mortality
and expense risk charges.
 
  The Fund's daily investment advisory fee is assumed to be equivalent to an
annual weighted rate of 0.63% of the aggregate average daily net assets of the
Fund. This hypothetical rate is representative of the weighted average
investment advisory fee applicable to the Portfolios of the Fund available as
options under the Policy. The amounts shown would differ if unisex rates were
used or if the Insureds were females and female rates were used. On those
illustrations assuming current rates, the amounts would also differ if either
Insured were a smoker and smoker rates were used. The tables also reflect
other expenses of the Fund at the weighted rate of 0.24% of the average daily
net assets of a Portfolio, which amounts to 0.87% of the average daily net
assets of a Portfolio including the investment advisory fees, operating
expenses and any foreign taxes. Foreign taxes (annualized) for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996 were 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the
International Portfolio, 0.07% for the Equity Income Portfolio, 0.01% for the
Multi-Strategy Portfolio, 0.02% for the Equity Index Portfolio, 0.04% for the
Growth LT Portfolio and 0.27% for the Emerging Markets Portfolio. SEE "Summary
of the Policy: Fund Annual Expenses After Expense Limitation" for more
complete information on Fund investment advisory fees and operating expenses.

  After deduction of the charges and Fund expenses described above, the
illustrated gross annual investment rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12%
correspond to approximate net annual rates of return of -0.87%, 5.08%, and
11.03%. The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any charges
against the Variable Accounts for income taxes that may be attributable to the
Variable Accounts in the future, since we are not currently making these
charges.
 
  We will furnish upon request a comparable illustration reflecting the
proposed Insureds' Ages, underwriting classes, Face Amount, death benefit and
premium amounts requested. In addition, upon request, illustrations will be
furnished reflecting allocation of premiums to specified Variable Accounts.
Such illustrations will reflect the expenses of the Portfolio of the Fund in
which the Variable Account invests. Illustrations that use a hypothetical
gross rate of return in excess of 12% are available to certain large
institutional investors upon request.

                                  APPENDIX A
 
                  DESCRIPTION OF JOINT EQUAL AGE CALCULATION
 
1. A Joint Equal Age (JEA) conversion changes many possible combinations of
   Ages, risk classes, substandard ratings and sexes for two lives into a "two
   life status" in which both Insureds are assumed to have the same Age, sex
   (both always male), and risk class (both nonsmoker, or smoker).
 
2. Certain Policy charges are based on the JEA determined at issue. JEA
   eliminates many of the tables needed when Age rates are used. JEA will be
   used to determine the rates per $1000 of initial Face Amount for the Sales
   Surrender Target, underwriting surrender charge and the Face Amount
   component of the mortality and expense risk charge. JEA determined at issue
   is also used to determine the death benefit under Death Benefit Option D.
   Age is used for cost of insurance rates, both current and guaranteed.
 
3. To calculate JEA, the two Ages are each converted to an adjusted Age, the
   difference in adjusted Ages is converted to an Age add-on, and the Age add-
   on is added to the younger adjusted Age. The steps are as follows:
 
   a. Smoker Age Adjustment:
 
      If both Insureds are smoker or both Insureds are nonsmoker, no smoker
      adjustment is made. If exactly one Insured is a smoker, the Age of the
      smoker is adjusted as follows:

         1 unisex         +5
         2                0
</TABLE>
 
    b. Sex Age Adjustment:
 
       Each female Insured has a 5 year Age reduction. Each male Insured has a
       0 year Age reduction. Each unisex Insured has a 1 year Age reduction.
 
    c. Table rating Age adjustment:
 
       The substandard Table ratings represent a multiple of standard
       mortality rates. An Age adjustment will be added to each Insured with a
       substandard Table rating as follows:
 
                          TABLE RATING AGE ADJUSTMENT

</TABLE>
 
     The adjusted Age for substandard is capped at Age 100.
 
     For uninsurable Insureds, the adjusted Age will always be 100,
     independently of the Age and sex of the uninsurable Insureds. (We
     reserve the right to reject an application for a policy.)

  d. After the Ages are adjusted for sex, smoker, and table ratings, the
     younger adjusted Age is subtracted from the older adjusted Age. The
     difference is used to determine an adjusted Age add-on.
