                       You can make as many transfers as you like between

                       Taking out a loan
                       You can take out a loan from us using your policy's
                       accumulated value as security. You pay interest on the
                       amount you borrow at an annual rate of 4.5% during the
                       first 10 policy years and 4.25% thereafter. The
                       accumulated value used to secure your loan is set aside
                       in a loan account, where it earns interest at an annual
                       rate of 4%.

                       The amount in the loan account is not available to help
                       pay for any policy charges. Taking out a loan affects
                       the accumulated value of your policy because the amount
                       set aside in the loan account misses out on the
                       potential earnings available through the investment
                       options.

                       Surrendering your policy
                       You can surrender or cash in your policy for its net
                       cash surrender value while either of the two people
                       insured by the policy is still living. If you surrender
                       your policy during the first 10 policy years, we'll
                       apply a surrender charge.

Telephone              You can make loans or transfers by telephone any time
transactions           after the free look period as long as we have your
                       signed authorization form on file.

                       Here are some things you need to know about telephone
                       transactions:

                       . You must complete a telephone authorization form.
                       . If your policy is jointly owned, all joint owners
                         must sign the telephone authorization. We'll take
                         instructions from any owner.
                       . We may use any reasonable method to confirm that your
                         telephone instructions are genuine. For example, we
                         may ask you to provide personal identification or we
                         may record all or part of the telephone conversation.
                         We may refuse any transaction request made by
                         telephone.

                       We'll send you a written confirmation of each telephone
                       transaction.

                       Sometimes, you may not be able to make loans or
                       transfers by telephone, for example, if our telephone
                       lines are busy because of unusual market activity or a
                       significant economic or market change, or our telephone
                       lines are out of service during severe storms or other
                       emergencies. In these cases, you can send your request
                       to us in writing, or call us the next business day or
                       when service has resumed.

                       When you send us your telephone authorization form, you
                       agree that:

                         damages, cost or expenses that result from

THE DEATH BENEFIT

                       We'll pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiary
                       after the last surviving person insured by the policy
                       dies while the policy is still in force. Your
                       beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal
                       income tax on death benefit proceeds.

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
                       How we calculate the death benefit for
                       Option D

                       If you choose Option D, we'll calculate the death
                       benefit by multiplying the face amount by a death
                       benefit factor. The death benefit factor is a number
                       from 1.0 to 2.0. A factor of 1.0 means the death
                       benefit equals the face amount. A factor of 2.0 means
                       the death benefit is two times the face amount.

                       The factor changes on each policy anniversary and is
                       based on the joint equal age of the people insured by
                       the policy and the number of completed policy years.
                       Joint equal age is a calculation that blends the ages
                       and insurance risks of the two people insured by the
                       policy. Generally, the death benefit factor will reach
                       the maximum of 2.0 when joint equal age plus the number
                       of completed policy years is between 85 and 90. You'll
                       find more information about how we calculate joint
                       equal age in Appendix A.

                       You'll find more information about the death benefit
                       factor in Appendix D and in your policy.

HOW PREMIUMS WORK

                       Your policy gives you the flexibility to choose the
                       amount and frequency of your premium payments.


The amount,            We usually set the amount of your first premium

Your first premium     We usually require you to make a minimum initial
payment                premium payment that's equal to at least 25% of the sum
                       of your premium load and your policy's monthly charges
                       for the first year.

                       The amount of the monthly charge and premium load are
                       calculated based on your policy's face amount and the
                       age, smoking status, gender (unless unisex cost of
                       insurance rates apply), and risk classes of the people

                       We describe premium load later in this section. You'll

                       Once you've made your first premium payment, you can
                       make monthly premium payments using our Uni-check plan.

                         withdrawal, we'll withdraw the premium payment on
                         your policy's monthly anniversary. If your policy's
                         monthly anniversary falls on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of
                         the month, we'll withdraw the payment on the 4th of
                         each month.

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
Deductions from
your premiums
                       We deduct a premium load from each premium payment you
Your net premium is    make. The load is made up of three charges:
your premium
payment less the       Sales load
premium load.          During the first 10 years of your policy, we deduct a
                       5% sales load from each premium payment you make. The
                       sales load is reduced to 3% after the 10th policy year.

                       This charge helps pay for the cost of distributing our
                       policies and is guaranteed not to increase. If our
                       sales and distribution expenses are more than the sales
                       load, we can recover these expenses from other charges,
                       such as the mortality and expense risk charge and the
                       surrender charge, and from any mortality gains.

                       State and local tax charge
                       We deduct 2.35% from each premium payment to pay state
                       and local premium and other taxes. The actual taxes we
                       pay vary from state to state, and in some instances,
                       among municipalities. This rate approximates the
                       average rate we pay for all states. We do not expect to
                       profit from this charge, and do not expect to change
                       the rate unless the rate we pay increases.

                       Federal tax charge
                       We deduct 1.50% from each premium payment to pay
                       federal taxes. We reserve the right to change this rate
                       to respond to changes in law.

                       Unless you've told us in writing that you want your

                       the amount of the death benefit if you choose a death
                       benefit option that's calculated using accumulated
                       value.

                       The accumulated value of your policy is not
                       guaranteed - it depends on the performance of the
                       investment options you've chosen, the premium payments
                       you've made, policy charges and how much you've
                       borrowed or withdrawn from the policy.

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
Calculating your       Your policy's accumulated value is the total amount

                       We determine the value allocated to the variable
                       investment options on any business day by multiplying
                       the number of accumulation units for each variable
                       investment option credited to your policy on that day,
                       by the variable investment option's unit value at the
                       end of that day. The process we use to calculate unit

                       Mortality Table B, which are used for unisex cost of
                       insurance rates. The rates are also based on the ages,

                       policy unless unisex rates are required.

                       required) of the two people insured by the policy.

YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
                       How we calculate cost of insurance

                       We calculate cost of insurance by multiplying the
                       current cost of insurance rate by a discounted net
                       amount at risk at the beginning of each policy month.

                       Net amount at risk for the cost of insurance
                       calculation is the difference between a discounted
                       death benefit that would be payable if both people
                       insured by the policy died, and the accumulated value
                       of your policy. We calculate it in two steps:

                       . Step 1: we divide the death benefit that would be
                         payable at the beginning of the policy month by
                         1.00327374.

                       . Step 2: we subtract your policy's accumulated value
                         at the beginning of the policy month from the amount
                         we calculated in step 1.

                       Administrative charge
                       We deduct a charge of $16 a month during the first five
                       policy years to help cover the costs of administering
                       and maintaining our policies. After five policy years,
                       we reduce this charge to $6 a month. We guarantee that
                       this charge will not increase. When the younger of the
                       two people insured by the policy reaches age 100, the
                       administrative charge is zero - in other words, you no
                       longer pay any administrative charge.

                       If you buy additional Pacific Select Estate Preserver
                       policies that insure the same two people, we will not
                       deduct the administrative charge from the additional
                       policies. Instead, we'll deduct $200 from each policy's
                       first premium payment to help cover our processing
                       costs.

                       Mortality and expense risk charge
                       Mortality risk is the chance that the people insured by
                       policies we've issued do not live as long as expected.
                       This means the cost of insurance charges specified in
                       the policies may not be enough to pay out actual
                       claims.

                       Expense risk is the chance that our actual
                       administrative and operating expenses are more than
                       expenses we expected.

                       The mortality and expense risk charge helps compensate
                       us for these risks. It has two components, which are
                       described in the box on the following page. We
                       guarantee this charge will not increase.

                       Charges for optional riders
                       If you add any riders to your policy, we add any
                       charges for them to your monthly charge.

                       loan amount, to cover the monthly charge on the day we
                       make the deduction. Your policy's accumulated value is
                       affected by the following:

                       . loans or withdrawals you make from your policy
                       . not making planned premium payments

                       . charges under the policy.

                       There is no guarantee that your policy will not lapse
                       even if you pay your planned periodic premium.

                       If there is not enough accumulated value to pay the
                       total monthly charge, we deduct the amount that's
                       available and send you, and anyone you've assigned your
                       policy to, a notice telling you the minimum amount you
                       have to pay to keep your policy in force. This minimum
                       amount is equal to three times the monthly charge that
                       was due on the monthly payment date when there was not
                       enough accumulated value to pay the charge.

                       We'll give you a grace period of 61 days from when we
                       send the notice to pay the required premium. Your
                       policy will remain in force during the grace period.

                       If you do not make the minimum payment
                       If we do not receive your payment within the grace

                       means we'll end your life insurance coverage.

YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE

                       If you make the minimum payment
                       If we receive your payment within the grace period,
                       we'll allocate your net premium to the investment
                       options you've chosen and deduct the monthly charge
                       from your investment options in proportion to the
                       accumulated value you have in each option.

Remember to tell us    If your policy is in danger of lapsing and you have an
if a payment is a      outstanding loan amount, you may find that making the
premium payment or     minimum payment would cause the total premiums paid to
a loan repayment.      exceed the maximum amount for your policy's face amount
                       under tax laws. In that situation, we will not accept
                       the portion of your payment that would exceed the
                       maximum amount. To stop your policy from lapsing,
                       you'll have to repay a portion of your outstanding loan
                       amount.

                       How to avoid future lapsing
                       To stop your policy from lapsing in the future, you may
                       want to make larger or more frequent premium payments
                       if tax laws permit it. Or if you have a loan, you may
                       want to repay a portion if it.

                       Paying death benefit proceeds during the grace period
                       If the last surviving person insured by the policy dies
                       during the grace period, we'll pay death benefit
                       proceeds to your beneficiary. We'll reduce the payment
                       by any unpaid monthly charges and any outstanding loan
                       amount.

                       Reinstating a lapsed policy
                       If your policy lapses, you have five years from the end
                       of the grace period to apply for a reinstatement. We'll
                       reinstate it if you send us the following:

                       . a written application

                       . evidence satisfactory to us that the two people
                         insured by the policy are still insurable

                         force for three months after the day your policy is

                         in the grace period.

                       We'll reinstate your policy as of the first monthly
                       payment date on or after the day we approve the
                       reinstatement. When we reinstate your policy, its
                       accumulated value will be the same as it was on the day
                       your policy lapsed. We'll allocate it according to your
                       most recent premium allocation instructions.

                       Reinstating a lapsed policy with an outstanding loan
                       amount
                       If you had an outstanding loan amount when your policy
                       lapsed, we will not pay or credit interest on it during
                       the period between the lapsing and reinstatement of
                       your policy. There are special rules that apply to
                       reinstating a policy with an outstanding loan amount:

                       . If we reinstate your policy on the first monthly
                         payment date that immediately follows the lapse,
                         we'll also reinstate the loan amount that was
                         outstanding the day your policy lapsed.

                       . If we reinstate your policy on any monthly payment
                         date other than the monthly payment date that
                         immediately follows the lapse, we'll deduct the
                         outstanding loan amount from your policy's
                         accumulated value. This means you will no longer have
                         an outstanding loan amount when your policy is
                         reinstated.

                       the end of the next business day.

                       The unit value calculation is based on the following:

                       portfolio. Changes in the unit value of a variable

                       units credited to your policy.

                       account of the separate account reflects only the
                       performance of a hypothetical policy. The calculations
                       are based on allocating the hypothetical policy's
                       accumulated value to the variable account during a
                       particular time period.

                       keep in mind the investment objectives and policies,
                       characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the
                       fund in which the variable account invests, and the

                       would be based on allocating premium payments for a
                       hypothetical policy to a particular variable account
                       over certain periods of time, including one year, or
                       from the day the variable account started operating. If
                       a portfolio has existed for longer than its
                       corresponding variable account, we may also show the
                       hypothetical returns that the variable account would
                       have achieved had it invested in the portfolio from the
                       day the portfolio started operating.

                       Performance may reflect the deduction of all policy
                       charges including premium load, the cost of insurance,
                       the administrative charge, and the mortality and
                       expense risk charge. The different death benefit
                       options will result in different expenses for the cost
                       of insurance, and the varying expenses will result in
                       different accumulated values.

                       Performance may also reflect the deduction of the
                       surrender charge, if it applies, by assuming the
                       hypothetical policy is surrendered at the end of the
                       particular period. At the same time, we may give other
                       performance figures that do not assume the policy is
                       surrendered and do not reflect any deduction of the
                       surrender charge.

                       How withdrawals affect your policy's death benefit
                       Making a withdrawal will affect your policy's death
                       benefit in the following ways:

                       . if your policy's death benefit does not equal the
                         guideline minimum death benefit, the death benefit
                         will decrease by the amount of your withdrawal.
                       . if your policy's death benefit equals the guideline
                         minimum death benefit, the death benefit may decrease
                         by more than the amount of your withdrawal.

                       How withdrawals affect your policy's face amount
                       If you've chosen death benefit Option B or Option C,
                       making a withdrawal does not reduce your policy's face
                       amount.

                       If you've chosen death benefit Option A or Option D, a
                       withdrawal may reduce your face amount. You can make
                       one withdrawal during each of the first 15 policy years
                       of $10,000 or 10% of your policy's cash surrender
                       value, whichever is less, without reducing your
                       policy's face amount. If you withdraw a larger amount,
                       or make additional withdrawals, the face amount will be

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY

                       This section tells you some additional things you
                       should know about your policy.

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
Income benefit         If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your policy,
                       you can use the money to buy an income benefit that
                       provides a monthly income. Your policy's beneficiary
                       can use death benefit proceeds to buy an income
                       benefit. In addition to the income benefit described
                       below, you can choose from other income benefits we may
                       make available from time to time.

                       The following is one income benefit available under the
                       Pacific Select Estate Preserver policy:

                       . The income benefit is based on the life of the person
                         receiving the income. If the policy owner is buying
                         the income benefit, monthly income will be based on
                         the owner's life. If the policy's beneficiary buys
                         the income benefit, monthly income will be based on
                         the beneficiary's life.
                       . We'll pay a monthly income for at least 10 years
                         regardless of whether the person receiving the income
                         is still alive.
                       . After 10 years, we'll only pay the monthly income for
                         as long as the person receiving it is still alive.
                       . The minimum monthly income benefit calculated must be
                         at least $100.
                       . For this income benefit, the amount you receive will
                         always be at least as much as the amount guaranteed
                         by your policy.

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
Paying the death       If either person insured by the policy, whether sane or
benefit in the         insane, commits suicide within two years of the policy
case of suicide        date, death benefit proceeds will be the total of all
                       premiums you've paid, less any outstanding loan amount,
                       any withdrawals you've made, and any cash dividends
                       we've paid.

Replacement of life    The term replacement has a special meaning in the life
insurance or           insurance industry. Before you make a decision to buy,
annuities              we want you to understand what impact a replacement may
                       have on your existing insurance policy.

                       A replacement occurs when you buy a new life insurance

                       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
                       policyowners were not owners of separate account

                       allocating premiums and policy values than was the case
                       in those rulings, it is possible the IRS would treat
                       you as the owner of your policy's proportionate share
                       of the assets of the separate account.

VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES

                       Surrendering your policy
                       If you surrender your policy, you're taxed on the
                       amount by which the cash surrender value exceeds the
                       cost basis in the policy.

                       Making a withdrawal or taking out a loan
                       If you make a withdrawal or take out a loan from a
                       modified endowment contract, you're taxed on the amount
                       of the withdrawal or loan that's considered income,
                       including all previously non-taxed gains. Income is the
                       difference between the cash surrender value and the
                       cost basis in your policy. It's unclear whether
                       interest paid, or accrued, on a loan is considered
                       interest for federal income tax purposes. If you borrow
                       money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies,
                       tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest
                       payable on loan proceeds. You should consult your tax
                       adviser.

                       All modified endowment contracts we or our affiliates
                       issue to you in a calendar year are treated as a single
                       contract when we calculate whether a distribution
                       amount is subject to tax.

                       10% penalty tax
                       If any amount you receive from a modified endowment
                       contract is taxable, you may also have to pay a penalty
                       tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount.

                       A taxpayer will not have to pay the penalty tax if any
                       of the following exceptions apply:

                       . you're at least 59 1/2 years old
                       . you're receiving an amount because you've become
                         disabled
                       . you're receiving an amount that's part of a series of
                         substantially equal periodic payments, paid out at
                         least annually. These payments may be made for your
                         life or life expectancy or for the joint lives or
                         joint life expectancies of you and your
                         beneficiaries.

                       Distributions before a policy becomes a modified
                       endowment contract
                       If your policy fails the seven-pay test and becomes a
                       modified endowment contract, any amount you receive or
                       are deemed to have received during the two years before
                       it became a modified endowment contract may be taxable.
                       The distribution would be treated as having been made
                       in anticipation of the policy's failing to meet the
                       seven-pay test under Treasury Department regulations
                       which are yet to be prescribed.

of these riders.

                       In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a

                       code. We may reserve the right (but are not obligated)
                       to modify the rider to conform under tax code

                       Split policy option rider
                       This rider allows a policy to be split into two
                       individual policies. If the split is not treated as a
                       nontaxable exchange, it could result in the recognition
                       of taxable income up to any gain or income in the
                       policy at the time of the split.

                       of Columbia and in all states except New York. Our

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
How we're organized    Pacific Life was established on January 2, 1868 under
                       the name, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of
                       California. It was reincorporated as Pacific Mutual
                       Life Insurance Company on July 22, 1936. On September
                       1, 1997, Pacific Life converted from a mutual life
                       insurance company to a stock life insurance company.
                       Pacific Life is a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a
                       holding company, which in turn is a subsidiary of
                       Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding
                       company.

                       Under their charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company
                       must always hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting
                       stock of Pacific LifeCorp. Pacific LifeCorp must always
                       own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners of
                       Pacific Life's annuity contracts and life insurance
                       policies have certain membership interests in Pacific
                       Mutual Holding Company. They have the right to vote on
                       the election of the Board of Directors of the mutual
                       holding company and on other matters. They also have
                       certain rights if the mutual holding company is
                       liquidated or dissolved.

                       The policies are sold by registered representatives of

                       must be registered with the SEC.

                       How we pay broker-dealers
                       We pay broker-dealers commission for promoting,
                       marketing and selling our policies. Broker-dealers pay
                       a portion of the commission to their registered
                       representatives, under their own arrangements.

                       required approval from policy owners or the SEC before

                       as required by law.

                       We can add new variable accounts, which may include
                       additional subaccounts of the separate account, to
                       serve as investment options under the policies. These
                       may be managed separate accounts or they may invest in

                       We can add new variable accounts when we believe that
                       it's warranted by marketing needs or investment
                       conditions. We'll decide on what basis we'll make new
                       accounts available to existing policy owners.

                       We can also eliminate any of our variable accounts if
                       we believe marketing, tax or investment conditions
                       warrant it. We can terminate and liquidate any variable
                       account.

                       If we make any changes to variable accounts or
                       substitution of securities, we can make appropriate
                       changes to this policy or any of our other policies, by

ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE

                       If we believe it's in the best interests of people
                       holding voting rights under the policies and we meet
                       any required regulatory approvals we can do the
                       following:

                       . operate the separate account as a management
                         investment company, unit investment trust, or any
                         other form permitted under securities or other laws
                       . register or deregister the separate account under
                         securities law
                       . combine the separate account with one of our other
                         separate accounts or our affiliates' separate
                         accounts
                       . combine one or more variable accounts
                       . create a committee, board or other group to manage
                         the separate account
                       . change the classification of any variable account.

                       Taxes we pay
                       We may be charged for state and local taxes. Currently,
                       we pay these taxes because they are small amounts with
                       respect to the policy. If these taxes increase
                       significantly, we may deduct them from the separate
                       account.

                       We may charge the separate account for any federal,
                       state and local taxes that apply to the separate
                       account or to our operations. This could happen if our
                       tax status or the tax treatment of variable life
                       insurance changes.

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
Voting rights          We're the legal owner of the shares of the Pacific
                       Select Fund that are held by the variable accounts. We
                       may vote on any matter at shareholder meetings of the
                       fund. However, we are required by law to vote as you
                       instruct on the shares relating to your allocation in a
                       variable investment option. This is called your voting
                       interest.

                       Your voting interest is calculated as of a day set by
                       the Board of Trustees of the fund called the record
                       date. Your voting interest equals the accumulated value
                       in a variable investment option divided by the net
                       asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio.
                       Fractional shares are included. If allowed by law, we
                       may change how we calculate your voting interest.

                       We'll send you documents from the fund called proxy
                       materials. They include information about the items
                       you'll be voting on and forms for you to give us your
                       instructions. We'll vote shares held in the separate
                       account for which we do not receive voting instructions
                       in the same proportion as all other shares in the
                       portfolio held by that separate account for which we've
                       received timely instructions.

                       We'll vote shares of any portfolio we hold in our
                       general account in the same proportion as the total
                       votes for all of our separate accounts, including this
                       separate account. We'll vote shares of any portfolio
                       held by our non-insurance affiliates in the same
                       proportion as the total votes for all separate accounts
                       of ours and our insurance affiliates.

                       If the law changes to allow it, we can vote as we wish
                       on shares of the portfolios held in the separate
                       account.

                       When required by state insurance regulatory
                       authorities, we may disregard voting instructions that:

                       . would change a portfolio's investment objective or
                         subclassification
                       . would approve or disapprove an investment advisory
                         contract.

                       We may disregard voting instructions on a change
                       initiated by policy owners that would change a
                       portfolio's investment policy, investment adviser or
                       portfolio manager if:

                       . our disapproval is reasonable
                       . we determine in good faith that the change would be
                         against state law or otherwise be inappropriate,
                         considering the portfolio's objectives and purpose,
                         and considering what effect the change would have on
                         us.

                       If we disregard any voting instructions, we'll include
                       a summary of the action we took and our reasons for it
                       in the next report to policy owners.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Pacific Life Insurance Company:

 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (comprised of the Aggressive Equity,
Emerging Markets, Growth, Bond and Income, Equity, Multi-Strategy, Equity
Income, Growth LT, Mid-Cap Value, Equity Index, Small-Cap Index, REIT,
International, Government Securities, Managed Bond, Money Market, High Yield
Bond, Large-Cap Value, Variable Account I, Variable Account II, Variable
Account III, and Variable Account IV Variable Accounts) as of December 31, 1999
and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and statement
of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (as
to the Mid-Cap Value, Small-Cap Index, REIT, and Large-Cap Value Variable
Accounts, for the periods from commencement of operations through December 31,
1999). 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the respective Variable Accounts
constituting Pacific Select Exec Separate Account as of December 31, 1999 and
the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in
their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (as to the
Mid-Cap Value, Small-Cap Index, REIT, and Large-Cap Value Variable Accounts,
for the periods from commencement of operations through December 31, 1999), 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 twenty-two subaccounts called
Variable Accounts: the Aggressive Equity Variable Account, the Emerging Markets
Variable Account, the Growth Variable Account, the Bond and Income Variable
Account, the Equity Variable Account, the Multi-Strategy Variable Account, the
Equity Income Variable Account, the Growth LT Variable Account, the Mid-Cap
Value Variable Account, the Equity Index Variable Account, the Small-Cap Index
Variable Account, the REIT Variable Account, the International Variable
Account, the Government Securities Variable Account, the Managed Bond Variable
Account, the Money Market Variable Account, the High Yield Bond Variable
Account, the Large-Cap Value Variable Account, and the Variable Accounts I
through IV. The assets in each of the first eighteen Variable Accounts are
invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of Pacific Select Fund and
the assets of the last four Variable Accounts (Brandes International Equity,
Turner Core Growth, Frontier Capital Appreciation and Enhanced U.S. Equity) are
invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of M Fund, Inc.
(collectively, the "Funds"). Each Variable Account pursues different investment
objectives and policies. The financial statements of the Funds, including the
schedules of investments, are either included in Sections B through E of this
report or provided separately and should be read in conjunction with the
Separate Account's financial statements.

 The Separate Account has organized and registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission four new Variable Accounts: the Mid-Cap Value Variable
Account, the Small-Cap Index Variable Account, the REIT Variable Account, and
the Large-Cap Value Variable Account. The Mid-Cap Value Variable Account, the
Small-Cap Index Variable Account, and the Large-Cap Value Variable Account
commenced operations on January 8, 1999, and the REIT Variable Account
commenced operations on January 19, 1999.

 The Separate Account was established by Pacific Life Insurance Company
("Pacific Life") 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 Life. The assets of the Separate Account will not be
charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by
Pacific Life, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits
related to variable life insurance, are obligations of Pacific Life.

 The Separate Account held by Pacific Life represents funds from individual
flexible premium variable life policies. The assets of the Separate Account 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 Funds are valued at the reported net asset values
of the respective portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Funds is
discussed in the notes to their financial statements.

 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 Life, 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 Life with respect to the
operations of the Separate Account.

2. DIVIDENDS

 During 1999, the Funds 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 Life makes certain deductions from premiums for sales load and
state premium taxes before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account.
Pacific Life also makes certain deductions from the net assets of each Variable
Account for the mortality and expense risks Pacific Life 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 Life.

4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT

 Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life,
serves as principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded by
interests in the Separate Account, without remuneration from the Separate
Account.

   INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

   Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
   condition of Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the
   "Company") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
   statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of
   the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
   all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Life Insurance
   Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results
   of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
   period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

   Pacific Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Life") was established in 1868 and
   is organized under the laws of the State of California as a stock life
   insurance company. Pacific Life is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Mutual
   Holding Company ("PMHC"), a mutual holding company, and a wholly owned
   subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, an intermediate stock holding company. PMHC
   and Pacific LifeCorp were organized pursuant to consent received from the
   Insurance Department of the State of California and the implementation of a
   plan of conversion to form a mutual holding company structure in 1997 (the
   "Conversion"). As a result of the Conversion, $65 million of retained
   earnings was allocated for the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock
   with a par value totaling $30 million and $35 million to paid-in capital.

   Pacific Life and its subsidiaries and affiliates have primary business
   operations which consist of life insurance, annuities, pension and
   institutional products, group employee benefits, broker-dealer operations,
   and investment management and advisory services. Pacific Life's primary
   business operations provide a broad range of life insurance, asset
   accumulation and investment products for individuals and businesses and
   offer a range of investment products to institutions and pension plans.

   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Life
   Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
   include the accounts of Pacific Life and its majority owned and controlled
   subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
   been eliminated. Pacific Life prepares its regulatory financial statements
   based on accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance
   Department of the State of California. These consolidated financial
   statements differ from those filed with regulatory authorities (Note 2).

   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   On January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified
   Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1,
   "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
   Internal Use." SOP 98-1 requires that certain costs incurred in developing
   internal use computer software be capitalized. Adoption of this accounting
   standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
   financial statements.

   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
   Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No.
   137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--
   Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," is effective for
   fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires, among
   other things, that all derivatives be recognized in the consolidated
   statements of financial condition as either assets or liabilities and
   measured at estimated fair value. The corresponding derivative gains and
   losses should be reported based upon the hedge relationship, if such a
   relationship exists. Changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives
   that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting
   criteria in SFAS No. 133 are required to be reported in income. The Company
   is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. The Company is in
   the process of quantifying the impact of SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated
   financial statements.


   During 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-7, "Deposit Accounting: Accounting for
   Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do Not Transfer Insurance Risk."
   SOP 98-7 provides guidance on how to account for insurance and reinsurance
   contracts that do not transfer insurance risk under a method referred to as
   deposit accounting. SOP 98-7 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
   June 15, 1999. The Company currently plans to adopt

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   SOP 98-7 on January 1, 2000. Adoption of this accounting standard is not
   expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
   statements.

   INVESTMENTS

   Available for sale fixed maturity and equity securities are reported at
   estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred
   income taxes and adjustments related to deferred policy acquisition costs,
   included as a separate component of equity on the accompanying consolidated
   statements of financial condition. The cost of fixed maturity and equity
   securities is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than
   temporary. Trading securities are reported at estimated fair value with
   unrealized gains and losses included in net realized investment gains on
   the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   For mortgage-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities, the
   Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on
   anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities.
   When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated
   to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. The net
   investment in the securities is adjusted to the amount that would have
   existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition of
   the securities. This adjustment is reflected in net investment income on
   the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a
   specific identification basis and are included in net realized investment
   gains on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   Derivative financial instruments are carried at estimated fair value.
   Unrealized gains and losses of derivatives used to hedge securities
   classified as available for sale are reflected in a separate component of
   equity on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition,
   similar to the accounting of the underlying hedged assets. Realized gains
   and losses on derivatives used for hedging are deferred and amortized over
   the average life of the related hedged assets or liabilities. Unrealized
   gains and losses of other derivatives are included in net realized
   investment gains on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   Mortgage loans, net of valuation allowances, and policy loans are stated at
   unpaid principal balances.

   Real estate is carried at depreciated cost, net of writedowns, or, for real
   estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, estimated fair value less
   estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition if lower than the
   related unpaid balance.

   Partnership and joint venture interests in which the Company does not have
   a controlling interest or a majority ownership are generally recorded using
   the equity method of accounting and are included in other investments on
   the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

   The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Asset Management
   LLC ("PAM"), has an approximate 33% beneficial ownership interest in PIMCO
   Advisors L.P. ("PIMCO Advisors") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. In
   December 1997, PIMCO Advisors completed a transaction in which it acquired
   the assets of Oppenheimer Capital, L.P., including its interest in
   Oppenheimer Capital, by issuing approximately 33 million PIMCO Advisors
   General and Limited Partner units. In connection with this transaction, the
   Company increased its investment in PIMCO Advisors to reflect the excess of
   the Company's pro rata share of PIMCO Advisors partners' capital subsequent
   to this transaction over the carrying value of the Company's investment in
   PIMCO Advisors. The net result of this transaction was to directly increase
   stockholder's equity by $85.1 million. During 1999 and 1998, the Company
   increased its investment in PIMCO Advisors to reflect its pro rata share of
   the increase to PIMCO Advisors partners' capital due to the issuance of
   additional partnership units. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and
   1998, there was a direct increase to the Company's stockholder's equity of
   $10.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively. During 1998, the Company also
   acquired the beneficial ownership of additional partnership units. Deferred
   taxes resulting from these transactions have been included in the
   accompanying consolidated financial statements.

                                                                              73

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   On October 31, 1999, PAM entered into an Implementation and Merger
   Agreement with Allianz of America, Inc. ("Allianz") and a number of other
   parties in which Allianz will purchase 70% of the outstanding partnership
   units of PIMCO Advisors. PAM is exchanging its interest in PIMCO Advisors
   for a beneficial economic interest in a new class of PIMCO Advisors
   partnership units with a cash distribution comprised of a fixed and
   variable return. This transaction is anticipated to close during the first
   half of 2000, subject to certain closing conditions and approvals.

   In connection with this transaction, PAM has entered into a Continuing
   Investment Agreement with Allianz with respect to its investment in PIMCO
   Advisors. The investment in PIMCO Advisors held by PAM will be subject to
   put and call options held by PAM and Allianz, respectively. The put option
   gives PAM the right to require Allianz, on the last business day of each
   calendar quarter, to purchase all of the investment in PIMCO Advisors held
   by PAM. The put option price would be the distributions per unit amount, as
   defined in the Continuing Investment Agreement, for the most recently
   completed four calendar quarters multiplied by a factor of 14.0. The call
   option gives Allianz the right to require PAM, on any January 31, April 30,
   July 31, or October 31, beginning on January 31, 2003, to sell its
   investment in PIMCO Advisors to Allianz. The call option price would be the
   distributions per unit, as defined in the Continuing Investment Agreement,
   for the most recently completed four calendar quarters multiplied by a
   factor of 14.0 if the call per unit value is at least $50.

   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   Cash and cash equivalents include all liquid debt instruments with an
   original maturity of three months or less.

   DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

   The costs of acquiring new insurance business, principally commissions,
   medical examinations, underwriting, policy issue and other expenses, all of
   which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new
   business, have been deferred. For universal life, annuity and other
   investment-type products, such costs are generally amortized over the
   expected life of the contract in proportion to the present value of
   expected gross profits using the assumed crediting rate. Adjustments are
   reflected in earnings or equity in the period the Company experiences
   deviations in gross profit assumptions. Adjustments directly affecting
   equity result from experience deviations due to changes in unrealized gains
   and losses in investments classified as available for sale. For traditional
   life insurance products, such costs are being amortized over the premium-
   paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenues
   recognized, using assumptions consistent with those used in computing
   policy reserves. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
   amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs included in commission
   expenses amounted to $131.7 million, $73.0 million and $50.2 million,
   respectively, and included in operating expenses amounted to $55.4 million,
   $33.5 million and $29.4 million, respectively, on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations.

   UNIVERSAL LIFE AND INVESTMENT-TYPE PRODUCTS

   Universal life and investment-type products, including guaranteed
   investment contracts and funding agreements, are valued using the
   retrospective deposit method and consist principally of deposits received
   plus interest credited less accumulated assessments. Interest credited to
   these policies primarily ranged from 4% to 8.4% during 1999, 1998 and 1997.

   FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS

   Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method.
   Interest rate assumptions ranged from 4.5% to 9.3% for 1999, 1998 and 1997.
   Mortality, morbidity and withdrawal assumptions are generally based on the
   Company's experience, modified to provide for possible unfavorable
   deviations. Future dividends for

   participating business are provided for in the liability for future policy
   benefits. Dividends to policyholders are included in policy benefits paid
   or provided on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   Dividends are accrued based on dividend formulas approved by the Board of
   Directors and reviewed for reasonableness and equitable treatment of
   policyholders by an independent consulting actuary. As of December 31, 1999
   and 1998, participating experience rated policies paying dividends
   represented approximately 1% of direct written life insurance in force.

   REVENUES AND EXPENSES

   Insurance premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and
   expenses, other than deferred policy acquisition costs, are recognized when
   incurred.

   Generally, receipts for universal life, annuities and other investment-type
   products are classified as deposits. Policy fees from these contracts
   include mortality charges, surrender charges and earned policy service
   fees. Expenses related to these products include interest credited to
   account balances and benefit amounts in excess of account balances.

   Commission revenue from Pacific Life's broker-dealer subsidiaries is
   recorded on the trade date.

   DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

   Depreciation of investment real estate is computed on the straight-line
   method over the estimated useful lives which range from 5 to 30 years.
   Certain other assets are depreciated or amortized on the straight-line
   method over periods ranging from 3 to 40 years. Depreciation of investment
   real estate is included in net investment income on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation and amortization of
   certain other assets is included in operating expenses on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations.

   INCOME TAXES

   Pacific Life is taxed as a life insurance company for income tax purposes
   and is included in the consolidated income tax returns of PMHC. Prior to
   1998, Pacific Life was subject to an equity tax calculated by a prescribed
   formula that incorporated a differential earnings rate between stock and
   mutual life insurance companies. In December 1998, the Internal Revenue
   Service released Revenue Ruling 99-3 which exempts Pacific Life from this
   tax for taxable years beginning in 1998. Deferred income taxes are provided
   for timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for
   financial reporting and income tax purposes.

   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 contract
   owners.

   ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The estimated fair value of financial instruments, disclosed in Notes 5, 6
   and 7, has 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
   the Company 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.

                                                                              75

   RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

   The Company operates in a business environment which is subject to various
   risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
   limited to, interest rate risk, investment market risk, credit risk and
   legal and regulatory changes.

   Interest rate risk is the potential for interest rates to change, which can
   cause fluctuations in the value of investments. To the extent that
   fluctuations in interest rates cause the duration of assets and liabilities
   to differ, the Company may have to sell assets prior to their maturity and
   realize losses. The Company controls its exposure to this risk by, among
   other things, asset/liability matching techniques which attempt to match
   the duration of assets and liabilities and utilization of derivative
   instruments. Additionally, the Company includes contractual provisions
   limiting withdrawal rights for certain of its products. A substantial
   portion of the Company's liabilities are not subject to surrender or can be
   surrendered only after deduction of a surrender charge or a market value
   adjustment.

   Credit risk is the risk that issuers of investments owned by the Company
   may default or that other parties may not be able to pay amounts due to the
   Company. The Company 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 approval procedures, limits and ongoing monitoring. Real estate and
   mortgage loan investment risks are limited by diversification of geographic
   location and property type. Management does not believe that significant
   concentrations of credit risk exist.

   The Company is also exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
   by the counterparties to interest rate swap contracts and other derivative
   securities. The Company manages this risk through credit approvals and
   limits on exposure to any specific counterparty. However, the Company does
   not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

   The Company is subject to various state and Federal regulatory authorities.
   The potential exists for changes in regulatory initiatives which can result
   in additional, unanticipated expense to the Company. Existing Federal laws
   and regulations affect the taxation of life insurance or annuity products,
   and insurance companies. There can be no assurance as to what, if any,
   cases might be decided or future legislation might be enacted, or if
   decided or enacted, whether such cases or legislation would contain
   provisions with possible negative effects on the Company's life insurance
   or annuity products.

   USE OF ESTIMATES

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
   management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
   amounts of assets and liabilities 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 1999
   financial statement presentation.

2. STATUTORY RESULTS (Continued)

   RISK-BASED CAPITAL

   Risk-based capital is a method developed by the National Association of
   Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") to measure the minimum amount of capital
   appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business
   operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formulas for
   determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting
   factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of
   activity based on the perceived degree of risk. The adequacy of a company's
   actual capital is measured by the risk-based capital results as determined
   by the formulas. Companies below minimum risk-based capital requirements
   are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified
   corrective action. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, Pacific Life and
   Pacific Life & Annuity Company, formerly PM Group Life Insurance Company, a
   wholly owned Arizona domiciled life insurance subsidiary of Pacific Life,
   exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements.

   CODIFICATION

   In 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting
   Principles ("Codification"). The Codification, which is intended to
   standardize regulatory accounting and reporting for the insurance industry,
   is proposed to be effective January 1, 2001. However, statutory accounting
   principles will continue to be established by individual state laws and
   permitted practices and it is uncertain when, or if, the states of
   California and Arizona will require adoption of Codification for the
   preparation of statutory financial statements. The Company has not
   finalized the quantification of the effects of Codification on its
   statutory financial statements.

   DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

   Dividend payments by Pacific Life to Pacific LifeCorp in any 12-month
   period cannot exceed the greater of 10% of statutory capital and surplus as
   of the preceding year-end or the statutory net gain from operations for the
   previous calendar year, without prior approval from the Insurance
   Department of the State of California. Based on this limitation and 1999
   statutory results, Pacific Life could pay $174.0 million in dividends in
   2000 without prior approval. No dividends were paid during 1999 and 1998.

   The maximum amount of ordinary dividends that can be paid by PL&A without
   restriction cannot exceed the lesser of 10% of statutory surplus as regards
   to policyholders, or the statutory net gain from operations. No dividends
   were paid during 1999 and 1998.

   PERMITTED PRACTICE

   Net cash distributions received on PAM's investment in PIMCO Advisors are
   recorded as income as permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of
   California for statutory accounting purposes.

3. CLOSED BLOCK

   In connection with the Conversion, an arrangement known as a closed block
   (the "Closed Block") was established, for dividend purposes only, for the
   exclusive benefit of certain individual life insurance policies that had an
   experience based dividend scale for 1997. The Closed Block was designed to
   give reasonable assurance to holders of Closed Block policies that policy
   dividends will not change solely as a result of the Conversion.

   Assets that support the Closed Block, which are primarily included in fixed
   maturity securities, policy loans and accrued investment income, amounted
   to $293.5 million and $311.6 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
   respectively. Liabilities allocated to the Closed Block, which are
   primarily included in future policy benefits amounted to $341.8 million and
   $352.8 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
   contribution

3. CLOSED BLOCK (Continued)

   to income from the Closed Block amounted to $3.8 million, $5.1 million and
   $5.7 million and is primarily included in insurance premiums, net
   investment income and policy benefits paid or provided for the years ended
   December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

4. ACQUISITIONS

   Effective July 15, 1999, Pacific Life acquired a payout annuity block of
   business from Confederation Life Insurance Company (U.S.) in
   Rehabilitation, which is currently under rehabilitation ("Confederation
   Life"). This block of business consists of approximately 16,000 annuitants
   having reserves of $1.8 billion. The assets received as part of this
   acquisition amounted to $1.6 billion in fixed maturity securities and $0.2
   billion in cash.

   The remaining cost of acquiring this annuity business, representing the
   amount equal to the excess of the estimated fair value of the reserves
   assumed over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired, amounted to
   $74.5 million as of December 31, 1999, and is included in deferred policy
   acquisition costs on the accompanying consolidated statement of financial
   condition. Amortization of this asset for the year ended December 31, 1999
   amounted to $0.4 million, and is included in commission expense on the
   accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

   On June 1, 1997, Pacific Life acquired a block of corporate-owned life
   insurance ("COLI") policies from Confederation Life, which consisted of
   approximately 38,000 policies having a face amount of insurance of
   $8.6 billion and reserves of $1.7 billion. The assets received as part of
   this acquisition amounted to $1.2 billion in cash and $0.4 billion in
   policy loans. This block is primarily non leveraged COLI.

   The remaining cost of acquiring this COLI business, representing the amount
   equal to the excess of the estimated fair value of the reserves assumed
   over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired, amounted to $27.9
   million and $36.5 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
   and is included in deferred policy acquisition costs on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of financial condition. Amortization of this asset
   for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $8.6
   million, $7.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and is included in
   commission expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of
   operations.

   During 1999, Pacific Life acquired a 95% interest in Grayhawk Golf
   Holdings, LLC, which owns 100% of a real estate investment property in
   Arizona.

                                                                              79

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
   of these financial instruments as of December 31, 1999 and 1998:

   TRADING SECURITIES

   The estimated fair value of trading securities is based on quoted market
   prices.

   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 carrying amounts of policy loans are a reasonable estimate of their
   fair values because interest rates are generally variable and based on
   current market rates.

   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   The carrying values approximate fair values due to the short-term
   maturities of these instruments.

   GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACTS AND DEPOSIT LIABILITIES

   The estimated fair value of fixed maturity guaranteed interest contracts is
   estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
   remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of deposit liabilities with
   no defined maturities is the amount payable on demand.

   ANNUITY LIABILITIES

   The estimated fair value of annuity liabilities approximates carrying value
   and primarily includes policyholder deposits and accumulated credited
   interest.

   SHORT-TERM DEBT

   The carrying amount of short-term debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair
   value because the interest rates are variable and based on current market
   rates.

   LONG-TERM DEBT

   The estimated fair value of surplus notes is based on market quotes. The
   carrying amount of other long-term debt is a reasonable estimate of its
   fair value because the interest on the debt is approximately the same as
   current market rates.

   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

   Pacific Life has issued certain contracts to 401(k) plans totaling $1.7
   billion as of December 31, 1999, pursuant to the terms of which the 401(k)
   plan retains direct ownership and control of the assets related to these
   contracts. Pacific Life agrees to provide benefit responsiveness in the
   event that plan benefit requests exceed plan cash flows. In return for this
   guarantee, Pacific Life receives a fee which varies by contract. Pacific
   Life sets the investment guidelines to provide for appropriate credit
   quality and cash flow matching.

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

   Derivatives are financial instruments whose value or cash flows are
   "derived" from another source, such as an underlying security. They can
   facilitate total return and, when used for hedging, they achieve the lowest
   cost and most efficient execution of positions. Derivatives can also be
   used as leverage by using very large notional amounts or by creating
   formulas that multiply changes in the underlying security. The Company's
   approach is to avoid highly leveraged or overly complex investments. The
   Company 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 as well as for facilitating total
   return. Risk is limited through modeling derivative performance in product
   portfolios for hedging and setting loss limits in total return portfolios.

   Derivatives used by the Company involve elements of credit risk and market
   risk in excess of amounts recognized on the accompanying consolidated
   financial statements. The notional amounts of these instruments reflect the
   extent of involvement in the various types of financial instruments. The
   estimated fair values of these instruments are based on dealer quotations
   or internal price estimates believed to be comparable to dealer quotations.
   These amounts estimate what the Company would have to pay or receive if the
   contracts were terminated at that time. The Company determines, on an
   individual counterparty basis, the need for collateral or other security to
   support financial instruments with off balance sheet counterparty risk.

   Outstanding derivatives with off balance sheet risks, shown in notional or
   contract amounts along with their carrying value and estimated fair values
   as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

</TABLE>

   Interest Rate Floors, Caps, Options and Swaptions
   -------------------------------------------------

   The Company uses interest rate floors, caps, options and swaptions to hedge
   against fluctuations in interest rates and to take positions in its total
   return portfolios. Interest rate floor agreements entitle the Company to
   receive the difference when the current rate of the underlying index is
   below the strike rate. Interest rate cap agreements entitle the Company to
   receive the difference when the current rate of the underlying index is
   above the strike rate. Options purchased involve the right, but not the
   obligation, to purchase the underlying securities at a specified price
   during a given time period. Swaptions are options to enter into a swap
   transaction at a specified price. The Company uses written covered call
   options on a limited basis. Gains and losses on covered calls are offset by
   gains and losses on the underlying position. Floors, caps and options are
   reported as assets and options written are reported as liabilities on the
   accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. Cash
   requirements for these instruments are generally limited to the premium
   paid by the Company at acquisition. The purchase premium of these
   instruments is amortized on a constant effective yield basis and included
   as a component of net investment income on the accompanying consolidated
   statements of operations over the term of the agreement. Interest rate
   floors and caps, options and swaptions mature during the years 2000 through
   2017.

   Interest Rate Swap Contracts
   ----------------------------

   The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and to
   take positions in its total return portfolios. The interest rate swap
   agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate
   interest payments or the exchange of floating to floating interest payments
   tied to different indexes. Generally, no premium is paid to enter into the
   contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The amounts to

   be received or paid pursuant to these agreements are accrued and recognized
   through an adjustment to net investment income on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations over the life of the agreements. The
   interest rate swap contracts mature during the years 2000 through 2021.

   Asset Swap Contracts
   --------------------

   The Company uses asset swap contracts to manage interest rate and equity
   risk to better match portfolio duration to liabilities. Asset swap
   contracts involve the exchange of upside equity potential for fixed income
   streams. The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to these agreements
   are accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income
   on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the life of
   the agreements. The asset swap contracts mature during the years 2000
   through 2005.

   Credit Default and Total Return Swaps
   -------------------------------------

   The Company uses credit default and total return swaps to take advantage of
   market opportunities. Credit default swaps involve the receipt of fixed
   rate payments in exchange for assuming potential credit exposure of an
   underlying security. Total return swaps involve the exchange of floating
   rate payments for the total return performance of a specified index or
   market. The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to these agreements are
   accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income on
   the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the life of the
   agreements. Credit default and total return swaps mature during the years
   2000 through 2028.

   Financial Futures Contracts
   ---------------------------

   The Company uses exchange-traded financial futures contracts to hedge cash
   flow timing differences between assets and liabilities and overall
   portfolio duration. Assets and liabilities are rarely acquired or sold at
   the same time, which creates a need to hedge their change in value during
   the unmatched period. In addition, foreign currency futures may be used to
   hedge foreign currency risk on non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.
   Financial futures contracts obligate the holder to buy or sell the
   underlying financial instrument at a specified future date for a set price
   and may be settled in cash or by delivery of the financial instrument.
   Price changes on futures are settled daily through the required margin cash
   flows. The notional amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash
   requirements, as the Company intends to close out open positions prior to
   expiration.

   Foreign Currency Derivatives
   ----------------------------

   The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and swaps to
   hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency exposure. Foreign currency
   derivatives involve the exchange of foreign currency denominated payments
   for U.S. dollar denominated payments. Gains and losses on foreign exchange
   forward contracts offset losses and gains, respectively, on the related
   foreign currency denominated assets. The amounts to be received or paid
   under the foreign currency swaps are accrued and recognized through an
   adjustment to net investment income on the accompanying consolidated
   statements of operations over the life of the agreements. Foreign currency
   derivatives expire during the years 2000 through 2013.

                                                                              87

11. INCOME TAXES

   The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The
   deferred tax consequences of changes in tax rates or laws must be computed
   on the amounts of temporary differences and carryforwards existing at the
   date a new tax law is enacted. Recording the effects of a change involves
   adjusting deferred tax liabilities and assets with a corresponding charge
   or credit recognized in the provision for income taxes. The objective is to
   measure a deferred tax liability or asset using the enacted tax rates and
   laws expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the
   deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized.

   The provision for income taxes is as follows:

   for reinsurance of future policy benefits, universal life deposits, and
   unpaid losses is reported as an asset and included in other assets on the
   accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. All assets

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

   The Company's six operating segments are Life Insurance, Institutional
   Products, Annuities, Group Insurance, Broker-Dealers and Investment
   Management. These segments have been identified based on differences in
   products and services offered. All other activity is included in Corporate
   and Other.

   The Life Insurance segment offers universal life, variable universal life
   and other life insurance products to individuals, small businesses and
   corporations through a network of distribution channels that include branch
   offices, marketing organizations, national accounts and a national producer
   group that has produced over 10% of the segment's in force business. The
   Institutional Products segment offers investment and annuity products to
   pension fund sponsors and other institutional investors primarily through
   its home office marketing team. The Annuities segment offers variable and
   fixed annuities to individuals, small businesses and qualified plans
   through financial institutions, National Association of Securities Dealers
   ("NASD") firms, and regional and national wirehouses.

   The Group Insurance segment offers group life, health and dental insurance,
   and stop loss insurance products to corporate, government and labor-
   management-negotiated plans. The group life, health and dental insurance is
   distributed through a network of sales offices and the stop loss insurance
   is distributed through a network of third party administrators. The Broker-
   Dealers segment includes five NASD registered firms that provide securities
   and insurance brokerage services and investment advisory services through
   approximately 3,200 registered representatives. The Investment Management
   segment is primarily comprised of the Company's investment in PIMCO
   Advisors (Note 1). PIMCO Advisors offers a diversified range of investment
   products through separately managed accounts, and institutional, retail and
   offshore funds.

   Corporate and Other primarily includes investment income, expenses and
   assets not attributable to the operating segments, and the operations of
   the Company's reinsurance subsidiary located in the United Kingdom.
   Corporate and Other also includes the elimination of intersegment revenues,
   expenses and assets.

   The Company uses the same accounting policies and procedures to measure
   segment income and assets as it uses to measure its consolidated net income
   and assets. Net investment income and investment gains are allocated based
   on invested assets purchased and held as is required for transacting the
   business of that segment. Overhead expenses are allocated based on services
   provided. Interest expense is allocated based on the short-term borrowing
   needs of the segment and is included in net investment income. The income
   tax provision is allocated based on each segment's actual tax liability.

   Intersegment revenues include commissions paid by the Life Insurance
   segment and the Annuities segment for variable product sales to the Broker-
   Dealers segment. Investment Management segment assets have been reduced by
   an intersegment note payable of $100.5 million and $110 million as of
   December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The related intersegment note
   receivable is included in Corporate and Other segment assets.

   The Company generates substantially all of its revenues and income from
   customers located in the United States. Additionally, substantially all of
   the Company's assets are located in the United States.

   Depreciation expense and capital expenditures are not material and have not
   been reported herein. The Company's significant non cash item disclosed
   herein is interest credited to universal life and investment-type products.

                                                                              95

   PENSION PLANS

   Pacific Life has defined benefit pension plans which cover all eligible
   employees who have one year of continuous employment and have attained age
   21. The full-benefit vesting period for all participants is five years.

   Benefits for employees are based on years of service and the highest five
   consecutive years of compensation during the last ten years of employment.
   Pacific Life's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan
   sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the
   Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional
   amounts as may be determined appropriate. Contributions are intended to
   provide not only for benefits attributed to employment to date but also for
   those expected to be earned in the future. All such contributions are made
   to a tax-exempt trust. Plan assets consist primarily of group annuity
   contracts issued by Pacific Life, as well as mutual funds managed by an
   affiliate of Pacific Life.

   Components of the net periodic pension benefit are as follows:

15. PENSION PLANS, POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS AND OTHER PLANS (Continued)

   POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

   Pacific Life 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 Life'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. Pacific Life's
   commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is limited
   to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Life 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 net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the years ended December
   31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 is $0.5 million, $0.7 million and $0.8 million,
   respectively. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the accumulated benefit
   obligation is $19.7 million and $19.3 million, respectively. The fair value
   of the plan assets as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 is zero. The amount of
   accrued benefit cost included in other liabilities on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of financial condition is $24.4 million and $25.3
   million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

   The Plans include both indemnity and HMO coverage. The assumed health care
   cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated benefit obligation for
   indemnity coverage was 8.0% for 1999 and 1998 and is assumed to decrease
   gradually to 3.5% in 2003 and remain at that level thereafter. The assumed
   health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated benefit
   obligation for HMO coverage was 7.0% for 1999 and 1998 and is assumed to
   decrease gradually to 3.0% in 2003 and remain at that level thereafter.

   The amount reported is materially effected by the health care cost trend
   rate assumptions. If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were
   increased by 1%, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
   December 31, 1999 would be increased by 8.0%, and the aggregate of the
   service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost would
   increase by 10.1%. If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were
   decreased by 1%, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
   December 31, 1999 would be decreased by 7.0%, and the aggregate of the
   service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost would
   decrease by 8.9%.

   The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
   benefit obligation is 8.0% and 6.5% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

   OTHER PLANS

   Pacific Life provides a voluntary Retirement Incentive Savings Plan
   ("RISP") pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering
   all eligible employees of the Company. Effective October 1, 1997, Pacific
   Life's RISP changed the matching percentage of each employee's
   contributions from 50% to 75%, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible employee
   compensation and restricted the matched investment to an Employee Stock
   Ownership ("ESOP"). ESOP contributions made by the Company amounted to $5.4
   million, $5.2 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31,
   1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and are included in operating expenses
   on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   The ESOP was formed at the time of the Conversion and is currently only
   available to the participants of the RISP in the form of matching
   contributions. Pacific LifeCorp issued 1.7 million shares of common stock
   at

                                                                              99

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

15. PENSION PLANS, POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS AND OTHER PLANS (Continued)

   $12.50 per share to the ESOP ("ESOP Shares") on September 2, 1997, in
   exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $21.2 million ("ESOP
   Note"). Interest and principal payments made by the ESOP to Pacific
   LifeCorp were funded by ESOP contributions from Pacific Life.

   On July 27, 1999, Pacific Life loaned cash to the ESOP to pay off the ESOP
   Note due Pacific LifeCorp. This loan is included in unearned ESOP shares on
   the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholder's equity as of
   December 31, 1999. The unearned ESOP shares account is reduced as ESOP
   shares are released for allocation to participants through ESOP
   contributions by Pacific Life. In addition, when the fair value of ESOP
   shares being released for allocation to participants exceeds the original
   issue price of those shares, paid-in capital is increased by this
   difference and reflected as a capital contribution on the accompanying
   consolidated statement of stockholder's equity as of December 31, 1999.

   Pacific Life also has a deferred compensation plan which permits certain
   employees to defer portions of their compensation and earn a guaranteed
   interest rate on the deferred amounts. The interest rate is determined
   annually and is guaranteed for one year. The compensation which has been
   deferred has been accrued and the primary expense, other than compensation,
   related to this plan is interest on the deferred amounts.

   The Company also has performance-based incentive compensation plans for its
   employees.

16. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   Pacific Life serves as the investment advisor for the Pacific Select Fund,
   the investment vehicle provided to the Company's variable life and variable
   annuity contractholders. Pacific Life charges fees based upon the net asset
   value of the portfolios of the Pacific Select Fund, which amounted to $69.7
   million, $42.1 million and $27.5 million for the years ended December 31,
   1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, Pacific Life provides
   certain support services to the Pacific Select Fund for an administration
   fee which is based on an allocation of actual costs. Such administration
   fees amounted to $265,000, $232,000 and $165,000 for the years ended
   December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

   PIMCO Advisors provides investment advisory services to the Company for
   which the fees amounted to $7.3 million, $16.9 million and $11.4 million
   for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
   Included in equity securities on the accompanying consolidated statements
   of financial condition are investments in mutual funds and other
   investments managed by PIMCO Advisors which amounted to $3.2 million and
   $40.3 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

   Pacific Life provides certain support services to PIMCO Advisors. Charges
   for these services are based on an allocation of actual costs and amounted
   to $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December
   31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

17. TERMINATION AND NON COMPETITION AGREEMENTS

   The Company has termination and non competition agreements with certain
   former key employees of PAM's subsidiaries. These agreements provide terms
   and conditions for the allocation of future proceeds received from
   distributions and sales of certain PIMCO Advisors units and other non
   compete payments. When the amount of future obligations to be made to a key
   employee is determinable, a liability for such amount is established.

   For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, approximately $53.6
   million, $49.4 million and $85.8 million, respectively, is included in
   operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of

   operations related to the termination and non competition agreements. This
   includes payments of $43.1 million in 1997 to former key employees who
   elected to sell to PAM's subsidiaries their rights to the future proceeds
   from the PIMCO Advisors units.

   In connection with the closing of the PIMCO Advisors transaction (Note 1),
   the termination and non competition agreements with certain former key

</TABLE>

   The Company leases office facilities under various non cancelable operating
   leases. Aggregate minimum future commitments as of December 31, 1999
   through the term of the leases are approximately $43.3 million.

   Pacific Life has a contingent liability of approximately $23 million
   related to the posting of an appeal bond in conjunction with one of its
   investments. An unrelated third party has agreed to reimburse Pacific Life
   for 50% of any losses incurred under the bond. In addition, Pacific Life
   has given a commitment for additional capital funding, as may be required,
   to certain of its subsidiaries.

   Pacific Life was named in civil litigation proceedings similar to other
   litigation brought against many life insurers alleging misconduct in the
   sale of products, sometimes referred to as market conduct litigation. The
   class of plaintiffs included, with some exceptions, all persons who owned,
   as of December 31, 1997 (or as of the date of policy termination, if
   earlier), individual whole life, universal life or variable life insurance
   policies sold by Pacific Life on or after January 1, 1982. Pacific Life has
   settled this litigation pursuant to a final settlement agreement approved
   by the Court in November 1998. The settlement agreement was implemented
   during 1999.

   Further, the Company is a respondent in a number of other legal
   proceedings, some of which involve allegations for extra-contractual
   damages. In the opinion of management, the outcome of the foregoing
   proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the
   consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Step 3 Adjust ages for table ratings

We add years to the adjusted age in Step 2, based on the nonstandard table
rating for each person insured by the policy. The table below shows how we make
the adjustment.

Table ratings represent a multiple of standard mortality rates. Ratings other
than 0 represent nonstandard ratings.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

We cap the adjusted age for nonstandard at age 100.

For people who are uninsurable, the adjusted age will always be 100, regardless
of their age and gender. We reserve the right to reject an application for a
policy.

After Steps 1 through 3, we have each person's adjusted age.

Step 4 Determine the add-on factor

We subtract the younger adjusted age from the older adjusted age. We find the
difference between the two in the table below and go across the row to
determine the add-on factor.

- ----------------------        ----------------------
</TABLE>

Step 5 Calculate joint equal age

We add the add-on factor to the younger adjusted age (from Step 3).

The sum is the joint equal age.

insurance prospectus.                          are not part of the terms of your policy. If you choose a variable investment
                                               option, these fees and expenses affect you indirectly because they reduce
                                               portfolio returns.

                                               against the Variable Accounts or the Policy's Accumulated Value. The unit value
                                               of a variable account will change with the value of its corresponding M Fund
                                               portfolio.

                                               reimbursements were: 1.21% for Brandes International
                                               Equity, 0.70% for Turner Core Growth, 1.15% for

     Policy

To whom it may concern:

In my capacity as Assistant Vice President of the Product Design Department of
Pacific Life Insurance Company, I have provided actuarial advice concerning:

The preparation of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-6 filed by Pacific Life Insurance Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect
to variable life insurance policies (the "Registration Statement") and the
preparation of the policy forms for the variable life insurance policies
described in the Registration Statement (the "Policies").

It is my professional opinion that:

The illustration of death benefits, cash values and accumulated premiums shown
in this Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to the Registration Statement on Form S-6
as Exhibit 7(b), based on the assumptions used in the illustrations, are
consistent with the provisions of the Policies. The rate structure of the
Policies has not been designed so as to make the relationship between premiums
and benefits, as shown in the illustrations, appear to be correspondingly more
favorable to the prospective purchaser of the Policies at age 55 in the
underwriting classes illustrated than to prospective purchasers of Policies at
other ages or underwriting classes.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.


Sincerely,

/s/ LAWRENCE M. HERSH

Lawrence M. Hersh, FSA, MAAA
Assistant Vice President

ANY LOANS OR WITHDRAWALS ILLUSTRATED ARE BASED ON CURRENT POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS AND MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE UNDER GUARANTEED POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS.

THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS A POLICY LOAN. THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID FROM THE
GROSS DEATH BENEFIT AT THE DEATH OF THE INSURED, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED
PAYMENT TO THE BENEFICIARY OF THE NET DEATH BENEFIT ILLUSTRATED. UPON LAPSE OR
SURRENDER, THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED PAYMENT
TO THE POLICYOWNER OF THE NET SURRENDER AMOUNT. THE AUTOMATIC REPAYMENT OF THE
LOAN DURING A LAPSE OR SURRENDER WILL CAUSE THE RECOGNITION OF TAXABLE INCOME,
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE NET SURRENDER VALUE PLUS THE AMOUNT OF THE REPAID LOAN
EXCEEDS THE POLICY OWNER'S BASIS IN THE POLICY.

THE POLICY WILL LAPSE IF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE LESS POLICY DEBT IS INSUFFICIENT
TO COVER THE CURRENT MONTHLY DEDUCTION ON ANY MONTHLY PAYMENT DATE, AND A GRACE
PERIOD EXPIRES WITHOUT THE POLICY OWNER MAKING A SUFFICIENT PAYMENT. IF THE
POLICY IS INSUFFICIENTLY FUNDED IN RELATION TO THE INCOME STREAM FROM THE
POLICY, THE POLICY CAN LAPSE PREMATURELY AND RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT INCOME TAX
LIABILITY TO THE OWNER IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE LAPSE OCCURS.

A POLICY OWNER SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO STRUCTURE A POLICY SO THAT THE POLICY WILL
NOT LAPSE PREMATURELY UNDER VARIOUS MARKET SCENARIOS AS A RESULT OF WITHDRAWALS
AND/OR LOANS TAKEN FROM THE POLICY. THE POLICY OWNER SHOULD ALSO REQUEST AT
LEAST ANNUALLY A REVISED ILLUSTRATION THAT REFLECTS CURRENT POLICY VALUES TO
ASSURE THAT THE POLICY IS SUFFICIENTLY FUNDED TO SUPPORT A DESIRED INCOME
STREAM, IF ANY.

THE HYPOTHETICAL GROSS ANNUAL EARNINGS RATE ASSUMPTION IS AFTER BROKERAGE
EXPENSES AND ANY FOREIGN TAXES. A PORTFOLIO'S FOREIGN INVESTMENTS MAY BE SUBJECT
TO FOREIGN TAXES. FOREIGN TAXES FROM INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME ARE TREATED AS
A DEDUCTION FROM RELEVANT INCOME FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES RATHER THAN AS AN
EXPENSE.

THE AMOUNTS SHOWN FOR THE DEATH BENEFITS, ACCUMULATED VALUES AND CASH SURRENDER
VALUES REFLECT THE FACT THAT THE NET INVESTMENT RETURN ON THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS
IS LOWER THAN THE GROSS RETURN ON THE ASSETS AS A RESULT OF CHARGES LEVIED
AGAINST THE ACCOUNTS.

AFTER DEDUCTION OF THESE AMOUNTS, HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATED GROSS ANNUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS OF 0.00% AND 6.00% CORRESPOND TO APPROXIMATE NET ANNUAL RATES
OF RETURN OF -0.87% AND 5.08% RESPECTIVELY.

NO CHARGE IS CURRENTLY IMPOSED UPON A TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE BETWEEN
ACCOUNTS.  HOWEVER, PACIFIC LIFE MAY ASSESS SUCH A CHARGE AT A FUTURE DATE

INTEREST IS CHARGED ON POLICY LOANS AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.25% IN
ARREARS. INTEREST IS CREDITED TO THE PORTION OF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE SECURING
THE POLICY LOAN AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.00%

POLICY LOANS AND/OR WITHDRAWALS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE POLICY OWNER'S
BENEFITS.

DECREASES IN ART RIDER AMOUNTS MUST BE REQUESTED AT THE TIME OF THE DECREASE.

WHEN THE DEATH BENEFIT IS GREATER THAN THE FACE AMOUNT DUE TO ACCUMULATED VALUE
GROWTH, PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL PREMIUM WILL BE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL.

UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW, THIS POLICY WILL QUALIFY AS LIFE INSURANCE ONLY
IF THE SUM OF PREMIUMS PAID AT ANY TIME DOES NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE
GUIDELINE SINGLE PREMIUM OR THE SUM OF THE GUIDELINE LEVEL PREMIUMS AT SUCH
TIME.  THE GUIDELINE PREMIUMS WILL CHANGE WHENEVER THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE FACE
AMOUNT OF INSURANCE OR IN OTHER POLICY BENEFITS

BASED ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE ASSUMPTIONS IN
THIS ILLUSTRATION, THIS POLICY WOULD NOT BECOME A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
(MEC).  THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A MEC CAN BE SIGNIFICANT.
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

ALL VALUES ASSUME PREMIUMS AND LOAN INTEREST ARE PAID WHEN DUE.  IF A PAYMENT IS
RECEIVED WITHOUT BEING DESIGNATED AS A PREMIUM PAYMENT OR LOAN PAYMENT, AND
THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING LOAN, THE PAYMENT WILL BE APPLIED AS A LOAN PAYMENT.

ANY LOANS OR WITHDRAWALS ILLUSTRATED ARE BASED ON CURRENT POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS AND MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE UNDER GUARANTEED POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS.

THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS A POLICY LOAN. THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID FROM THE
GROSS DEATH BENEFIT AT THE DEATH OF THE INSURED, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED
PAYMENT TO THE BENEFICIARY OF THE NET DEATH BENEFIT ILLUSTRATED. UPON LAPSE OR
SURRENDER, THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED PAYMENT
TO THE POLICYOWNER OF THE NET SURRENDER AMOUNT. THE AUTOMATIC REPAYMENT OF THE
LOAN DURING A LAPSE OR SURRENDER WILL CAUSE THE RECOGNITION OF TAXABLE INCOME,
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE NET SURRENDER VALUE PLUS THE AMOUNT OF THE REPAID LOAN
EXCEEDS THE POLICY OWNER'S BASIS IN THE POLICY.

THE POLICY WILL LAPSE IF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE LESS POLICY DEBT IS INSUFFICIENT
TO COVER THE CURRENT MONTHLY DEDUCTION ON ANY MONTHLY PAYMENT DATE, AND A GRACE
PERIOD EXPIRES WITHOUT THE POLICY OWNER MAKING A SUFFICIENT PAYMENT. IF THE
POLICY IS INSUFFICIENTLY FUNDED IN RELATION TO THE INCOME STREAM FROM THE
POLICY, THE POLICY CAN LAPSE PREMATURELY AND RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT INCOME TAX
LIABILITY TO THE OWNER IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE LAPSE OCCURS.

A POLICY OWNER SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO STRUCTURE A POLICY SO THAT THE POLICY WILL
NOT LAPSE PREMATURELY UNDER VARIOUS MARKET SCENARIOS AS A RESULT OF WITHDRAWALS
AND/OR LOANS TAKEN FROM THE POLICY. THE POLICY OWNER SHOULD ALSO REQUEST AT
LEAST ANNUALLY A REVISED ILLUSTRATION THAT REFLECTS CURRENT POLICY VALUES TO
ASSURE THAT THE POLICY IS SUFFICIENTLY FUNDED TO SUPPORT A DESIRED INCOME
STREAM, IF ANY.

THE HYPOTHETICAL GROSS ANNUAL EARNINGS RATE ASSUMPTION IS AFTER BROKERAGE
EXPENSES AND ANY FOREIGN TAXES. A PORTFOLIO'S FOREIGN INVESTMENTS MAY BE SUBJECT
TO FOREIGN TAXES. FOREIGN TAXES FROM INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME ARE TREATED AS
A DEDUCTION FROM RELEVANT INCOME FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES RATHER THAN AS AN
EXPENSE.

THE AMOUNTS SHOWN FOR THE DEATH BENEFITS, ACCUMULATED VALUES AND CASH SURRENDER
VALUES REFLECT THE FACT THAT THE NET INVESTMENT RETURN ON THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS
IS LOWER THAN THE GROSS RETURN ON THE ASSETS AS A RESULT OF CHARGES LEVIED
AGAINST THE ACCOUNTS.

AFTER DEDUCTION OF THESE AMOUNTS, HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATED GROSS ANNUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS OF 0.00% AND 6.00% CORRESPOND TO APPROXIMATE NET ANNUAL RATES
OF RETURN OF -0.87% AND 5.08% RESPECTIVELY.

NO CHARGE IS CURRENTLY IMPOSED UPON A TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE BETWEEN
ACCOUNTS.  HOWEVER, PACIFIC LIFE MAY ASSESS SUCH A CHARGE AT A FUTURE DATE

INTEREST IS CHARGED ON POLICY LOANS AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.25% IN
ARREARS. INTEREST IS CREDITED TO THE PORTION OF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE SECURING
THE POLICY LOAN AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.00%

POLICY LOANS AND/OR WITHDRAWALS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE POLICY OWNER'S
BENEFITS.

DECREASES IN ART RIDER AMOUNTS MUST BE REQUESTED AT THE TIME OF THE DECREASE.

WHEN THE DEATH BENEFIT IS GREATER THAN THE FACE AMOUNT DUE TO ACCUMULATED VALUE
GROWTH, PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL PREMIUM WILL BE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL.

UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW, THIS POLICY WILL QUALIFY AS LIFE INSURANCE ONLY
IF THE SUM OF PREMIUMS PAID AT ANY TIME DOES NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE
GUIDELINE SINGLE PREMIUM OR THE SUM OF THE GUIDELINE LEVEL PREMIUMS AT SUCH
TIME.  THE GUIDELINE PREMIUMS WILL CHANGE WHENEVER THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE FACE
AMOUNT OF INSURANCE OR IN OTHER POLICY BENEFITS

BASED ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE ASSUMPTIONS IN
THIS ILLUSTRATION, THIS POLICY WOULD NOT BECOME A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
(MEC).  THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A MEC CAN BE SIGNIFICANT.
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

ALL VALUES ASSUME PREMIUMS AND LOAN INTEREST ARE PAID WHEN DUE.  IF A PAYMENT IS
RECEIVED WITHOUT BEING DESIGNATED AS A PREMIUM PAYMENT OR LOAN PAYMENT, AND
THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING LOAN, THE PAYMENT WILL BE APPLIED AS A LOAN PAYMENT.

ANY LOANS OR WITHDRAWALS ILLUSTRATED ARE BASED ON CURRENT POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS AND MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE UNDER GUARANTEED POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS.

THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS A POLICY LOAN. THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID FROM THE
GROSS DEATH BENEFIT AT THE DEATH OF THE INSURED, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED
PAYMENT TO THE BENEFICIARY OF THE NET DEATH BENEFIT ILLUSTRATED. UPON LAPSE OR
SURRENDER, THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED PAYMENT
TO THE POLICYOWNER OF THE NET SURRENDER AMOUNT. THE AUTOMATIC REPAYMENT OF THE
LOAN DURING A LAPSE OR SURRENDER WILL CAUSE THE RECOGNITION OF TAXABLE INCOME,
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE NET SURRENDER VALUE PLUS THE AMOUNT OF THE REPAID LOAN
EXCEEDS THE POLICY OWNER'S BASIS IN THE POLICY.

THE POLICY WILL LAPSE IF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE LESS POLICY DEBT IS INSUFFICIENT
TO COVER THE CURRENT MONTHLY DEDUCTION ON ANY MONTHLY PAYMENT DATE, AND A GRACE
PERIOD EXPIRES WITHOUT THE POLICY OWNER MAKING A SUFFICIENT PAYMENT. IF THE
POLICY IS INSUFFICIENTLY FUNDED IN RELATION TO THE INCOME STREAM FROM THE
POLICY, THE POLICY CAN LAPSE PREMATURELY AND RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT INCOME TAX
LIABILITY TO THE OWNER IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE LAPSE OCCURS.

A POLICY OWNER SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO STRUCTURE A POLICY SO THAT THE POLICY WILL
NOT LAPSE PREMATURELY UNDER VARIOUS MARKET SCENARIOS AS A RESULT OF WITHDRAWALS
AND/OR LOANS TAKEN FROM THE POLICY. THE POLICY OWNER SHOULD ALSO REQUEST AT
LEAST ANNUALLY A REVISED ILLUSTRATION THAT REFLECTS CURRENT POLICY VALUES TO
ASSURE THAT THE POLICY IS SUFFICIENTLY FUNDED TO SUPPORT A DESIRED INCOME
STREAM, IF ANY.

A DEDUCTION FROM RELEVANT INCOME FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES RATHER THAN AS AN
EXPENSE.

THE AMOUNTS SHOWN FOR THE DEATH BENEFITS, ACCUMULATED VALUES AND CASH SURRENDER
VALUES REFLECT THE FACT THAT THE NET INVESTMENT RETURN ON THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS
IS LOWER THAN THE GROSS RETURN ON THE ASSETS AS A RESULT OF CHARGES LEVIED
AGAINST THE ACCOUNTS.

AFTER DEDUCTION OF THESE AMOUNTS, HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATED GROSS ANNUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS OF 0.00% AND 6.00% CORRESPOND TO APPROXIMATE NET ANNUAL RATES
OF RETURN OF -0.87% AND 5.08% RESPECTIVELY.

NO CHARGE IS CURRENTLY IMPOSED UPON A TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE BETWEEN
ACCOUNTS.  HOWEVER, PACIFIC LIFE MAY ASSESS SUCH A CHARGE AT A FUTURE DATE

INTEREST IS CHARGED ON POLICY LOANS AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.25% IN
ARREARS. INTEREST IS CREDITED TO THE PORTION OF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE SECURING
THE POLICY LOAN AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.00%

POLICY LOANS AND/OR WITHDRAWALS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE POLICY OWNER'S
BENEFITS.

DECREASES IN ART RIDER AMOUNTS MUST BE REQUESTED AT THE TIME OF THE DECREASE.

WHEN THE DEATH BENEFIT IS GREATER THAN THE FACE AMOUNT DUE TO ACCUMULATED VALUE
GROWTH, PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL PREMIUM WILL BE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL.

UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW, THIS POLICY WILL QUALIFY AS LIFE INSURANCE ONLY
IF THE SUM OF PREMIUMS PAID AT ANY TIME DOES NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE
GUIDELINE SINGLE PREMIUM OR THE SUM OF THE GUIDELINE LEVEL PREMIUMS AT SUCH
TIME.  THE GUIDELINE PREMIUMS WILL CHANGE WHENEVER THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE FACE
AMOUNT OF INSURANCE OR IN OTHER POLICY BENEFITS

BASED ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE ASSUMPTIONS IN
THIS ILLUSTRATION, THIS POLICY WOULD NOT BECOME A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
(MEC).  THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A MEC CAN BE SIGNIFICANT.
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

ALL VALUES ASSUME PREMIUMS AND LOAN INTEREST ARE PAID WHEN DUE.  IF A PAYMENT IS
RECEIVED WITHOUT BEING DESIGNATED AS A PREMIUM PAYMENT OR LOAN PAYMENT, AND
THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING LOAN, THE PAYMENT WILL BE APPLIED AS A LOAN PAYMENT.

ANY LOANS OR WITHDRAWALS ILLUSTRATED ARE BASED ON CURRENT POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS AND MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE UNDER GUARANTEED POLICY CHARGE
ASSUMPTIONS.

THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS A POLICY LOAN. THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID FROM THE
GROSS DEATH BENEFIT AT THE DEATH OF THE INSURED, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED
PAYMENT TO THE BENEFICIARY OF THE NET DEATH BENEFIT ILLUSTRATED. UPON LAPSE OR
SURRENDER, THE LOAN IS AUTOMATICALLY REPAID, RESULTING IN THE ESTIMATED PAYMENT
TO THE POLICYOWNER OF THE NET SURRENDER AMOUNT. THE AUTOMATIC REPAYMENT OF THE
LOAN DURING A LAPSE OR SURRENDER WILL CAUSE THE RECOGNITION OF TAXABLE INCOME,
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE NET SURRENDER VALUE PLUS THE AMOUNT OF THE REPAID LOAN
EXCEEDS THE POLICY OWNER'S BASIS IN THE POLICY.

THE POLICY WILL LAPSE IF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE LESS POLICY DEBT IS INSUFFICIENT
TO COVER THE CURRENT MONTHLY DEDUCTION ON ANY MONTHLY PAYMENT DATE, AND A GRACE
PERIOD EXPIRES WITHOUT THE POLICY OWNER MAKING A SUFFICIENT PAYMENT. IF THE
POLICY IS INSUFFICIENTLY FUNDED IN RELATION TO THE INCOME STREAM FROM THE
POLICY, THE POLICY CAN LAPSE PREMATURELY AND RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT INCOME TAX
LIABILITY TO THE OWNER IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE LAPSE OCCURS.

A POLICY OWNER SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO STRUCTURE A POLICY SO THAT THE POLICY WILL
NOT LAPSE PREMATURELY UNDER VARIOUS MARKET SCENARIOS AS A RESULT OF WITHDRAWALS
AND/OR LOANS TAKEN FROM THE POLICY. THE POLICY OWNER SHOULD ALSO REQUEST AT
LEAST ANNUALLY A REVISED ILLUSTRATION THAT REFLECTS CURRENT POLICY VALUES TO
ASSURE THAT THE POLICY IS SUFFICIENTLY FUNDED TO SUPPORT A DESIRED INCOME
STREAM, IF ANY.

THE HYPOTHETICAL GROSS ANNUAL EARNINGS RATE ASSUMPTION IS AFTER BROKERAGE
EXPENSES AND ANY FOREIGN TAXES. A PORTFOLIO'S FOREIGN INVESTMENTS MAY BE SUBJECT
TO FOREIGN TAXES. FOREIGN TAXES FROM INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME ARE TREATED AS
A DEDUCTION FROM RELEVANT INCOME FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES RATHER THAN AS AN
EXPENSE.

THE AMOUNTS SHOWN FOR THE DEATH BENEFITS, ACCUMULATED VALUES AND CASH SURRENDER
VALUES REFLECT THE FACT THAT THE NET INVESTMENT RETURN ON THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS
IS LOWER THAN THE GROSS RETURN ON THE ASSETS AS A RESULT OF CHARGES LEVIED
AGAINST THE ACCOUNTS.

AFTER DEDUCTION OF THESE AMOUNTS, HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATED GROSS ANNUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS OF 0.00% AND 6.00% CORRESPOND TO APPROXIMATE NET ANNUAL RATES
OF RETURN OF -0.87% AND 5.08% RESPECTIVELY.

NO CHARGE IS CURRENTLY IMPOSED UPON A TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE BETWEEN
ACCOUNTS.  HOWEVER, PACIFIC LIFE MAY ASSESS SUCH A CHARGE AT A FUTURE DATE

INTEREST IS CHARGED ON POLICY LOANS AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.25% IN
ARREARS. INTEREST IS CREDITED TO THE PORTION OF THE ACCUMULATED VALUE SECURING
THE POLICY LOAN AT AN EFFECTIVE ANNUAL RATE OF 3.00%

POLICY LOANS AND/OR WITHDRAWALS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE POLICY OWNER'S
BENEFITS.

DECREASES IN ART RIDER AMOUNTS MUST BE REQUESTED AT THE TIME OF THE DECREASE.

WHEN THE DEATH BENEFIT IS GREATER THAN THE FACE AMOUNT DUE TO ACCUMULATED VALUE
GROWTH, PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL PREMIUM WILL BE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL.

UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW, THIS POLICY WILL QUALIFY AS LIFE INSURANCE ONLY
IF THE SUM OF PREMIUMS PAID AT ANY TIME DOES NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE
GUIDELINE SINGLE PREMIUM OR THE SUM OF THE GUIDELINE LEVEL PREMIUMS AT SUCH
TIME.  THE GUIDELINE PREMIUMS WILL CHANGE WHENEVER THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE FACE
AMOUNT OF INSURANCE OR IN OTHER POLICY BENEFITS

BASED ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE ASSUMPTIONS IN
THIS ILLUSTRATION, THIS POLICY WOULD NOT BECOME A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
(MEC).  THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A MEC CAN BE SIGNIFICANT.
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

ALL VALUES ASSUME PREMIUMS AND LOAN INTEREST ARE PAID WHEN DUE.  IF A PAYMENT IS
RECEIVED WITHOUT BEING DESIGNATED AS A PREMIUM PAYMENT OR LOAN PAYMENT, AND
THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING LOAN, THE PAYMENT WILL BE APPLIED AS A LOAN PAYMENT.
