INDIVIDUAL FLEXIBLE PAYMENT
VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
issued by
ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
and
ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
November 8, 1996
The Individual Flexible Payment Variable Annuity Contracts (the "Contracts")
described in this Prospectus provide for accumulation of Contract Values and
eventual payment of monthly annuity payments. The Contracts are designed to aid
individuals in long-term planning for retirement or other long-term purposes.
This is not appropriate as a trading vehicle.
The Contracts are available for retirement plans which do not qualify for the
special federal tax advantages available under the Internal Revenue Code
("Non-Qualified Plans") and for retirement plans which do qualify for the
federal tax advantages available under the Internal Revenue Code ("Qualified
Plans"). (See "Tax Status - Qualified Plans.") However, because of the minimum
purchase requirements, these Contracts may not be appropriate for some periodic
payment retirement plans.
Purchase payments for the Contracts will be allocated to a segregated investment
account of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (the "Company") which
account has been designated Allianz Life Variable Account B (the "Variable
Account") or to the Company's Fixed Account. IN WASHINGTON, THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS
NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL APPROVED BY THE WASHINGTON INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.
The Variable Account invests in shares of Franklin Valuemark Funds (the
"Trust"). The Trust is a series fund with twenty-three Funds: the Money Market
Fund, the High Income Fund, the Templeton Global Income Securities Fund, The
U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Zero Coupon Funds - 2000, 2005 and 2010,
the Growth and Income Fund, the Income Securities Fund, the Mutual Shares
Securities Fund, the Real Estate Securities Fund, the Rising Dividends Fund, the
Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund, the Utility Equity Fund, the Capital
Growth Fund, the Mutual Discovery Securities Fund, the Precious Metals Fund, the
Small Cap Fund, the Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund, the Templeton
Global Growth Fund, the Templeton International Equity Fund, the Templeton
International Smaller Companies Fund and the Templeton Pacific Growth Fund.
Prior to May 1, 1996, the Templeton Global Income Securities Fund was known as
the Global Income Fund. See "Highlights" and "Tax Status" for a discussion of
owner control of the underlying investments in a variable annuity contract. IN
CALIFORNIA, THE MUTUAL SHARES SECURITIES FUND AND THE MUTUAL DISCOVERY
SECURITIES FUND ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL APPROVED BY THE CALIFORNIA INSURANCE
DEPARTMENT. (CHECK WITH YOUR AGENT REGARDING AVAILABILITY.)
THE CONTRACTS ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY,
ANY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT
INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, OR ANY OTHER AGENCY.
INVESTMENT IN THE CONTRACTS IS SUBJECT TO RISK THAT MAY CAUSE THE VALUE OF THE
CONTRACT OWNER'S INVESTMENT TO FLUCTUATE, AND WHEN THE CONTRACTS ARE
SURRENDERED, THE VALUE MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE PURCHASE PAYMENTS.
This Prospectus concisely sets forth the information a prospective investor
should know before investing. Additional information about the Contracts is
contained in the "Statement of Additional Information," which is available at no
charge. The Statement of Additional Information has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is incorporated herein by reference. The
Table of Contents of the Statement of Additional Information can be found on the
last page of this Prospectus. For the Statement of Additional Information, call
or write the Home Office address shown above.
INQUIRIES: Any inquiries can be made by telephone or in writing to the Company
at the Home Office phone number or address listed above.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
THIS PROSPECTUS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY OR PRECEDED BY A CURRENT PROSPECTUS FOR
FRANKLIN VALUEMARK FUNDS.
This Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information are dated November
8, 1996, and may be amended from time to time.
This Prospectus should be kept for future reference.

HIGHLIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase payments for the Contracts will be allocated to a segregated investment
account of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (the "Company") which
has been designated Allianz Life Variable Account B (the "Variable Account") or
to the Company's Fixed Account. IN WASHINGTON, THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT
AVAILABLE UNTIL APPROVED BY THE WASHINGTON INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.
The Variable Account invests in shares of Franklin Valuemark Funds (the
"Trust"). (See "Franklin Valuemark Funds.") IN CALIFORNIA, THE MUTUAL SHARES
SECURITIES FUND AND THE MUTUAL DISCOVERY SECURITIES FUND ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL
APPROVED BY THE CALIFORNIA INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. (CHECK WITH YOUR AGENT
REGARDING AVAILABILITY.) CONTRACT OWNERS BEAR THE INVESTMENT RISK FOR ALL
AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT.
The Contract may be returned within 10 days (or for a longer period in states
where required) after it is received ("Free-Look Period"). It can be mailed or
delivered to either the Company or the agent who sold it. Return of the Contract
by mail is effective on being postmarked, properly addressed and postage
prepaid. The returned Contract will be treated as if the Company had never
issued it. The Company will promptly refund the Contract Value in states where
permitted. This may be more or less than the purchase payments. In states where
required and where the Contract is purchased pursuant to an Individual
Retirement Annuity, the Company will promptly refund the purchase payments, less
any withdrawals. The Company has reserved the right to allocate initial purchase
payments to the Money Market Sub-Account (except those allocated to the Fixed
Account) until the expiration of the Free-Look Period. If the Company does so
allocate the initial purchase payment to the Money Market Sub-Account, it will
refund the greater of the purchase payments, less any withdrawals, or the
Contract Value. It is the Company's current practice to directly allocate the
initial purchase payments to the Sub-Accounts and/or to the Fixed Account as
selected by the Contract Owner.
A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (sales load) may be deducted in the event of
a surrender. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is imposed on surrenders of
purchase payments within five (5) years after their being made. Once each
Contract Year, Contract Owners may surrender up to fifteen percent (15%) of
purchase payments paid less any prior surrenders without incurring a Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge. If no withdrawal is made during a Contract Year, the 15%
is cumulative into future years. If less than 15% is withdrawn in a Contract
Year, the remaining percentage is not available in future years. The Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge will vary in amount, depending upon the Contract Year in
which the purchase payment being surrendered was made. The Company currently
makes available a systematic withdrawal plan which allows for additional options
in some instances. (See "Surrenders - Systematic Withdrawal.") The Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge is found in the Fee Table. (See also "Charges and
Deductions - Deduction for Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (Sales Load).") The
maximum Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is 5% of purchase payments. For
purposes of determining the applicability of the Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge, surrenders are deemed to be on a first-in, first-out basis.
There is a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge which is equal, on an annual basis,
to 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the Variable Account. This Charge
compensates the Company for assuming the mortality and expense risks under the
Contracts. (See "Charges and Deductions - Deduction for Mortality and Expense
Risk Charge.")
There is an Administrative Expense Charge which is equal, on an annual basis, to
0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Variable Account. This Charge
compensates the Company for costs associated with the administration of the
Contract and the Variable Account. (See "Charges and Deductions - Deduction for
Administrative Expense Charge.")
There is an annual Contract Maintenance Charge of $30 each Contract Year. (See
"Charges and Deductions - Deduction for Contract Maintenance Charge.")
Premium taxes or other taxes payable to a state or other governmental entity
will be charged against Contract Values. (See "Charges and Deductions -
Deduction for Premium Taxes.")
Under certain circumstances there may be assessed a transfer fee when a Contract
Owner transfers Contract Values. (See "Charges and Deductions - Deduction for
Transfer Fee.")
There is a ten percent (10%) federal income tax penalty that may be applied to
the income portion of any distribution from the Contracts. However, the penalty
is not imposed under certain circumstances. (See "Tax Status - Tax Treatment of
Withdrawals - Non-Qualified Contracts" and "Tax Treatment of Withdrawals -
Qualified Contracts.") For a further discussion of the taxation of the
Contracts, see "Tax Status."
Withdrawals of amounts attributable to contributions made pursuant to a salary
reduction agreement (as defined in Section 403(b)(11) of the Code) are limited
to circumstances only when the Contract Owner: (1) attains age 591/2; (2)
separates from service; (3) dies; (4) becomes disabled (within the meaning of
Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); or (5) in the case of hardship. However,
withdrawals for hardship are restricted to the portion of the Contract Owner's
Contract Value which represents contributions made by the Contract Owner and
does not include any investment results. The limitations on withdrawals became
effective on January 1, 1989 and only apply to (i) salary reduction
contributions made after December 31, 1988; (ii) to income attributable to such
contributions; and (iii) to amounts held as of December 31, 1988. The
limitations on withdrawals do not affect rollovers or transfers between certain
Qualified Plans. Contract Owners should consult their own tax counsel or other
tax adviser regarding distributions. (See "Tax Status - Tax Sheltered Annuities
- - Withdrawal Limitations.")
The Treasury Department has indicated that guidelines may be forthcoming under
which a variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for
tax purposes if the owner of the contract has excessive control over the
investment underlying the contract. The issuance of such guidelines may require
the Company to impose limitations on a Contract Owner's right to control the
investment. It is not known whether any such guidelines would have a retroactive
effect (see "Tax Status - Diversification").
The Company offers other deferred variable annuity contracts but does not permit
exchange of those contracts for the Contracts offered by this Prospectus.
Because of certain exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed
Account are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Fixed
Account is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, neither the Fixed Account nor any
interests therein are subject to the provisions of these Acts, and the Company
has been advised that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has
not reviewed the disclosures in the Prospectus relating to the Fixed Account.
Disclosures regarding the Fixed Account may, however, be subject to certain
generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the
accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

1 The Fund Administration Fee is a direct expense for the Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund, the Templeton
International Smaller Companies Fund, the Mutual Discovery Securities Fund and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund;
other Funds pay for similar services indirectly through the Management Fee. See "Management" in the Trust Prospectus
for further information regarding Management and Fund Administration Fees.
2 Franklin Advisers, Inc. agreed in advance to waive a portion of its Management Fee and to make certain payments
to reduce expenses of the Money Market Fund during 1995 and is currently continuing this arrangement in 1996.
This arrangement may be terminated at any time. With this reduction, actual Management Fees and Total Annual
Expenses of the Money Market Fund for 1995 were 0.38% and 0.40%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
3 Prior to May 1, 1996, the Templeton Global Income Securities Fund was known as the Global Income Fund.
4 Net of management fees waived and/or expense reimbursements. Although not obligated to, Franklin Advisers, Inc.
has agreed in advance to waive a portion of its management fees and to make certain payments to reduce expenses of the
three Zero Coupon Funds through at least December 31, 1996 such that the aggregate expenses of the Zero Coupon
Fund - 2000, the Zero Coupon Fund - 2005 and the Zero Coupon Fund - 2010 will not exceed 0.40% of each Fund's net assets.
Absent the management fee waivers and expense payments, for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Total Annual
Expenses and Management and Fund Administration Fees, respectively, would have been as follows: Zero Coupon Fund - 2000,
.63% and .60%; Zero Coupon Fund - 2005, .66% and .63%; and Zero Coupon Fund - 2010, .66% and .63%.
5 The Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund commenced operations May 1, 1995. The expenses shown are estimated expenses
for the Fund for 1996.
6 The Small Cap Fund commenced operations November 1, 1995. The expenses shown are estimated expenses for the Fund for 1996.
7 The Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund and the Capital Growth Fund commenced operations May 1, 1996. The
expenses shown are estimated expenses for the Funds for 1996.
8 The Mutual Discovery Securities Fund and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund have not yet commenced operations. The
expenses shown are estimated expenses for the Funds for 1996.

Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
The assets of the Variable Account are the property of the Company. However, the

Sub-Account invested in one of the Funds of Franklin Valuemark Funds. Currently,
there are twenty-three Funds available under Franklin Valuemark Funds.
FRANKLIN VALUEMARK FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the twenty-three Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account is invested solely

GENERAL
There is no assurance that the investment objectives of any of the Funds will be
met. Contract Owners bear the complete investment risk for Contract Values
allocated to a Sub-Account.
Additional Funds and/or additional Eligible Investments may, from time to time,
be made available as investments to underlie the Contract. However, the right to
make such selections will be limited by the terms and conditions imposed on such
transactions by the Company. (See "Purchase Payments and Contract Value -
Allocation of Purchase Payments.")
SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
If the shares of any Fund of the Trust should no longer be available for
investment by the Variable Account or if, in the judgment of the Company, the
substitution of shares of any Fund for another would be in the best interests of
Contract Owners in view of the purpose of the Contract, the Company may
substitute shares of another Eligible Investment (or Fund within the Trust). No
substitution of securities in any Sub-Account may take place without prior
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and under such requirements
as it may impose.
VOTING RIGHTS
In accordance with its view of present applicable law, the Company will vote the
shares of the Trust held in the Variable Account at special meetings of the
shareholders of the Trust in accordance with instructions received from persons
having the voting interest in the Variable Account. The Company will vote shares
for which it has not received instructions, as well as shares attributable to
it, in the same proportion as it votes shares for which it has received
instructions. The Trust does not hold regular meetings of shareholders.
The number of shares which a person has a right to vote will be determined as of
a date to be chosen by the Company not more than sixty (60) days prior to the
meeting of the Trust. Voting instructions will be solicited by written
communication at least fourteen (14) days prior to the meeting.
Trust shares are issued and redeemed only in connection with variable annuity
contracts and variable life insurance policies issued through separate accounts
of the Company and its affiliates. The Trust does not foresee any disadvantage
to Contract Owners arising out of the fact that the Trust may be made available
to separate accounts which are used in connection with both variable annuity and
variable life insurance products. Nevertheless, the Trust's Board of Trustees
intends to monitor events in order to identify any material irreconcilable
conflicts which may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should
be taken in response thereto. If such a conflict were to occur, one of the
separate accounts might withdraw its investment in the Trust. This might force
the Trust to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Various charges and deductions are made from Contract Values, the Variable
Account and the Fixed Account. These charges and deductions are:
DEDUCTION FOR CONTINGENT DEFERRED
SALES CHARGE (SALES LOAD)
If all or a portion of the Surrender Value (see "Definitions") is surrendered, a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (sales load) will be calculated at the time of
each surrender and will be deducted from the Contract Value. This charge
reimburses the Company for expenses incurred in connection with the promotion,
sale and distribution of the Contracts. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
applies only to those purchase payments received within five (5) years of the
date of surrender. In calculating the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, purchase
payments are allocated to the amount surrendered on a first-in, first-out basis.
The amount of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is calculated by: (a)
allocating purchase payments to the amount surrendered; (b) multiplying each
such allocated purchase payment that has been held under the Contract for the
period by the charge shown below:
YEARS SINCE
PAYMENT CHARGE
------- -----
0-1 5%
1-2 5%
2-3 4%
3-4 3%
4-5 1.5%
5+ 0
and (c) adding the products of each multiplication in (b) above. The charge will
not exceed 5% of the purchase payments.
Once each Contract Year, Contract Owners may surrender up to fifteen percent
(15%) of purchase payments paid less any prior surrenders without incurring a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. If no withdrawal is made during a Contract
Year, the 15% is cumulative into future years. If less than 15% is withdrawn in
a Contract Year, the remaining percentage is not available in future years. No
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be deducted from purchase payments which
have been held under the Contract for more than five (5) Contract Years or as
annuity payments. See also "Surrenders Systematic Withdrawal." The Company may
also eliminate or reduce the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge under the Company
procedures then in effect. (See "Charges and Deductions - Reduction or
Elimination of Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.")
For a partial surrender, the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be deducted
from the remaining Contract Value, if sufficient; otherwise it will be deducted
from the amount surrendered. The amount deducted from the Contract Value will be
determined by canceling Accumulation Units from each applicable Sub-Account
and/or subtracting values from the Fixed Account in the ratio that the value of
each Sub-Account and/or the Fixed Account bears to the total Contract Value. The
Contract Owner must specify in writing in advance which units are to be canceled
or values are to be reduced if other than the above method of cancellation is
desired.
To the extent that the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is insufficient to cover
the actual costs of distribution, the Company may use any of its corporate
assets, including potential profit which may arise from the Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge, to make up any difference.
REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
The amount of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on the Contracts may be
reduced or eliminated when sales of the Contracts are made to individuals or to
a group of individuals in a manner that results in savings of sales expenses.
The entitlement to a reduction of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be
determined by the Company after examination of the following factors: (1) the
size of the group; (2) the total amount of purchase payments expected to be
received from the group; (3) the nature of the group for which the Contracts are
purchased, and the persistency expected in that group; (4) the purpose for which
the Contracts are purchased and whether that purpose makes it likely that
expenses will be reduced; and (5) any other circumstances which the Company
believes to be relevant to determining whether reduced sales or administrative
expenses may be expected. None of the reductions in charges for sales is
contractually guaranteed.
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge may be eliminated when the Contracts are
issued to an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its
affiliates. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge may also be eliminated when the
Contract is sold by an agent of the Company to any members of his or her family
and the commission is reduced. In no event will reductions or elimination of the
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge be permitted where reductions or elimination
will unfairly discriminate against any person.
DEDUCTION FOR MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
The Company deducts on each Valuation Date a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
which is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the average daily net assets of
the Variable Account (consisting of approximately .90% for mortality risks and
approximately .35% for expense risks). The mortality risk borne by the Company
arises from its contractual obligation to make annuity payments after the Income
Date for the life of the Annuitant in accordance with annuity rates guaranteed
in the Contracts. In addition, the Company assumes a mortality risk for the
guaranteed death benefit provided under the Contract. The expense risk assumed
by the Company is that all actual expenses involved in administering the
Contracts, including Contract maintenance costs, administrative costs, mailing
costs, data processing costs, legal fees, accounting fees, filing fees, and the
costs of other services may exceed the amount recovered from the Contract
Maintenance Charge and the Administrative Expense Charge.
If the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is insufficient to cover the actual
costs, the loss will be borne by the Company. Conversely, if the amount deducted
proves more than sufficient, the excess will be a profit to the Company. The
Company expects to profit from this charge.
The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is guaranteed by the Company and cannot be
increased.
DEDUCTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
The Company deducts on each Valuation Date an Administrative Expense Charge
which is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of
the Variable Account. This charge, together with the Contract Maintenance Charge
(see below), is to reimburse the Company for the expenses it incurs in the
establishment and maintenance of the Contracts and the Variable Account. These
expenses include, but are not limited to: preparation of the Contracts,
confirmations, annual reports and statements, maintenance of Contract Owner
records, maintenance of Variable Account records, administrative personnel
costs, mailing costs, data processing costs, legal fees, accounting fees, filing
fees, the costs of other services necessary for Contract Owner servicing, and
all accounting, valuation, regulatory and reporting requirements. The Company
does not intend to profit from this charge. This charge will be reduced to the
extent that the amount of this charge is in excess of that necessary to
reimburse the Company for its administrative expenses. Should this charge prove
to be insufficient, the Company will not increase this charge and will incur the
loss.
DEDUCTION FOR CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
The Company deducts an annual Contract Maintenance Charge of $30 from the
Contract Value on each Contract Anniversary. Prior to the Income Date the charge
is waived for Contracts having Contract Values or purchase payments less
withdrawals of $100,000 or more. This charge is to reimburse the Company for its
administrative expenses (see above). Prior to the Income Date, this charge is
deducted by canceling Accumulation Units from each applicable Sub-Account and/or
by subtracting values from the Fixed Account in the ratio that the value of each
Sub-Account or the Fixed Account bears to the total Contract Value. When the
Contract is surrendered for its full Surrender Value on other than a Contract
Anniversary, the entire Contract Maintenance Charge will be deducted at the time
of surrender. On and after the Income Date, the Contract Maintenance Charge will
be collected pro rata on a monthly basis ($2.50 per month) and will result in a
reduction of the monthly annuity payments.
DEDUCTION FOR PREMIUM TAXES
Premium taxes or other taxes payable to a state, municipality or other
governmental entity will be charged against the Contract Values. Premium taxes
currently imposed by certain states on the Contracts range from 0% to 3.5% of
premiums paid. Some states assess premium taxes at the time purchase payments
are made; others assess premium taxes at the time annuity payments begin. The
Company will, in its sole discretion, determine when taxes have resulted from:
the investment experience of the Variable Account; receipt by the Company of the
purchase payment(s); or commencement of annuity payments. The Company may, at
its sole discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the Contract
Value at a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right the
Company may have to deduct amounts at a later date.
DEDUCTION FOR INCOME TAXES
While the Company is not currently maintaining a provision for federal income
taxes, the Company has reserved the right to establish a provision for income
taxes if it determines, in its sole discretion, that it will incur a tax as a
result of the operation of the Variable Account. The Company will deduct for any
income taxes incurred by it as a result of the operation of the Variable Account
whether or not there was a provision for taxes and whether or not it was
sufficient. Currently, no federal income taxes are assessed against the Variable
Account. However, if the tax laws should change, the Company reserves the right
to deduct the amount of such taxes from the Variable Account. The Company will
deduct any withholding taxes required by applicable law.
DEDUCTION FOR TRUST EXPENSES
There are other deductions from, and expenses paid out of, the assets of
Franklin Valuemark Funds, which are described in the accompanying Trust
Prospectus.
DEDUCTION FOR TRANSFER FEE
Prior to the Income Date, a Contract Owner may transfer all or a part of the
Contract Owner's interest without the imposition of any fee or charge if there
have been no more than three transfers made in the Contract Year. The Contract
provides that if more than three transfers have been made in the Contract Year,
the Company reserves the right to deduct a transfer fee. The maximum transfer
fee that the Company may deduct, per transfer, is the lesser of $25 or 2% of the
amount transferred. Currently twelve transfers may be made in a Contract Year
without a charge. Thereafter, the charge is $25 (or 2% of the amount
transferred, if less).Currently, prescheduled automatic dollar cost averaging
transfers are not counted. The Company reserves the right to charge a fee for
all transfers after the Income Date, which fee, per transfer, will not exceed
the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount transferred. The transfer fee at any given
time will not be set at a level greater than its cost and will contain no
element of profit.
THE CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OWNERSHIP
The Contract Owner and if provided for in the Contract, any Joint Owner as named
on the Contract Schedule, have all rights and may receive all benefits under the
Contract. The Contract Owner if provided for in the Contract, may name a
Contingent Owner or change the Contract Owner at any time. Any Joint Owner must
be the spouse of the other Joint Owner (except in Pennsylvania) and any
Contingent Owner must be the spouse of the Contract Owner. Upon the death of the
Contract Owner, the Contingent Owner or the surviving Joint Owner, as
applicable, may elect to keep the Contract in force and become the new Contract
Owner, if they are the spouse of the Contract Owner. In those states where a
non-spousal Joint Owner is permitted, the death benefit must be paid in
accordance with the Code and the Joint Owner cannot continue the Contract in
force. A change of Contract Owner or Contingent Owner will automatically revoke
any prior designation of Contract Owner or Contingent Owner. A request for
change must be: (1) made in writing; and (2) received by the Company at its
Valuemark Service Center. After the transfer is recorded, the change will become
effective as of the date the written request is signed. A new designation of
Contract Owner, Joint Owner or Contingent Owner (as applicable) will not apply
to any payment made or action taken by the Company prior to the time it was
received.
For Non-Qualified Contracts, in accordance with Code Section 72(u), a deferred
annuity contract held by a corporation or other entity that is not a natural
person is not treated as an annuity contract for tax purposes. Income on the
contract is treated as ordinary income received by the owner during the taxable
year. However, for purposes of Code Section 72(u), an annuity contract held by a
trust or other entity as agent for a natural person is considered held by a
natural person and treated as an annuity contract for tax purposes. Tax advice
should be sought prior to purchasing a Contract which is to be owned by a trust
or other non-natural person.
ASSIGNMENT
The Contract Owner may assign the Contract at any time during his or her
lifetime. The Company will not be bound by any assignment until written notice
is received by the Company at its Valuemark Service Center. The Company is not
responsible for the validity of any assignment. The Contract Owner's rights and
those of any revocably-named person will be subject to the assignment. An
assignment will not affect any payments the Company may make or actions the
Company may take before such assignment has been recorded at its Valuemark
Service Center.
If the Contract is issued pursuant to a Qualified Plan, it may not be assigned,
pledged or otherwise transferred except as may be allowed under applicable law.
BENEFICIARY
One or more Beneficiaries and/or Contingent Beneficiaries are named in the
application and, unless changed, are entitled to receive any death benefits to
be paid. Upon the death of the Contract Owner, the Contingent Owner or surviving
Joint Owner (as applicable), will be the designated Beneficiary and any other
Beneficiary named will be treated as a Contingent Beneficiary, unless otherwise
indicated.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY
The Contract Owner may change a Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary by filing
a written request with the Company at its Valuemark Service Center unless an
irrevocable Beneficiary designation was previously filed. After the change is
recorded, it will take effect as of the date the request was signed. If the
request reaches the Valuemark Service Center after the Annuitant or Contract
Owner, as applicable, dies but before any payment is made, the change will be
valid. The Company will not be liable for any payment made or action taken
before it records the change.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant must be a natural person. The maximum age of the Annuitant on the
Effective Date is 80 years old. The Annuitant may be changed at any time prior
to the Income Date unless the Contract is owned by a non-natural person. (See
"Death of the Annuitant Prior to the Income Date".) Joint Annuitants are allowed
at the time of annuitization only. The Annuitant has no rights or privileges
prior to the Income Date. When an Annuity Option is elected, the amount payable
as of the Income Date is based on the age (and sex, where permissible) of the
Annuitant, as well as the Option selected and the Contract Value. The Annuitant
becomes the Contract Owner on or after the Income Date.
DEATH OF THE CONTRACT OWNER
BEFORE THE INCOME DATE
In those Contracts where a Contingent Owner has been named, in the event of the
death of the Contract Owner prior to the Income Date, the Contingent Owner, if
any, becomes the designated Beneficiary and any other Beneficiary named will be
treated as a Contingent Beneficiary, unless otherwise indicated. In those
Contracts where Joint Owners have been named, upon the death of either Joint
Owner prior to the Income Date, the surviving Joint Owner, if any, becomes the
designated Beneficiary and any other Beneficiary named will be treated as a
Contingent Beneficiary, unless otherwise indicated. Only the Contract Owner's
spouse may be the Contingent Owner or a Joint Owner (except in Pennsylvania). If
there is no surviving Contingent Owner or Joint Owner, a death benefit is
payable to the Beneficiary designated by the Contract Owner. The value of the
death benefit will be determined as of the Valuation Period next following the
date both due proof of death and a payment election are received by the Company.
The guaranteed death benefit is:
1. On the date of issue, the guaranteed death benefit is equal to the purchase
payment.
2. On each Contract Anniversary, but not beyond the Contract Anniversary
following the Contract Owner's 80th birthday, the guaranteed death benefit
will be determined as follows:
a. the guaranteed death benefit as of the previous Contract Anniversary;
b. plus any purchase payments made during the previous Contract Year;
c. minus any amounts surrendered during the previous Contract Year;
d. the sum of a, b and c multiplied by 1.05.
3. On dates other than a Contract Anniversary and on Contract Anniversaries
following the Contract Owner's 81st birthday, the guaranteed death
benefit equals the guaranteed death benefit on the previous Contract
Anniversary, plus purchase payments made since the previous Contract
Anniversary, less amounts surrendered since the previous Contract
Anniversary.
For purposes of the guaranteed death benefit calculation, reference to the
Contract Owner's age shall be the age of the oldest Joint Owner when applicable.
The guaranteed death benefit will always be calculated as in point (3) above
after the date of death of the Contract Owner.
The Beneficiary may, at any time before the end of a sixty (60) day period
following receipt of proof of death, elect the death benefit to be paid under
one of the following options:
A. Lump sum payment of the death benefit (The value of the death benefit is
equal to the greater of the guaranteed death benefit or the Surrender Value as
of the Valuation Period next following the date due proof of death and a payment
election are received by the Company.);
B. The payment of the entire death benefit within 5 years of the date of the
Contract Owner's death (The value of the death benefit under Option B is
determined by comparing the guaranteed death benefit to the Contract Value as of
the Valuation Period next following the date both due proof of death and a
payment election are received by the Company. If the Contract Value is the
greater, it will be the death benefit. Any distribution of such death benefit
will be reduced by the sum of any applicable premium taxes, Contract Maintenance
Charges and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. If the guaranteed death benefit
is the greater, it will be the death benefit. After the death benefit is
calculated, it will be subject to market risk. No additional purchase payments
will be accepted after the death of the Contract Owner.);
C. Payment over the lifetime of the designated Beneficiary or over a period not
extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary with
distribution beginning within one year of the death of the Contract Owner (See
"Annuity Provisions - Annuity Options"). (The value of the death benefit under
Option C is determined by comparing the guaranteed death benefit to the Contract
Value as of the Valuation Period next following the date both due proof of death
and a payment election are received by the Company. If the Contract Value is
greater, it will be treated as the death benefit. If the guaranteed death
benefit is the greater, it will be the death benefit.); or
D. If the Beneficiary is the Contract Owner's spouse, he/she can continue the
Contract in his/her own name. (The value of the death benefit under Option D is
determined by comparing the guaranteed death benefit to the Contract Value as of
the Valuation Period next following the date both due proof of death and a
payment election are received by the Company. If the Contract Value is greater,
it will remain the Contract Value. If the guaranteed death benefit is greater,
it will become the new Contract Value. Any distribution by the new Contract
Owner will be reduced by the sum of any applicable premium taxes, Contract
Maintenance Charges and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges.)
If no payment option is elected, a single sum settlement will be made at the end
of the sixty (60) day period following receipt of proof of death.
DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT PRIOR TO THE INCOME DATE
If the Annuitant dies on or before the Income Date and the Annuitant is
different from the Contract Owner, the Contract Owner may designate a new
Annuitant. If one is not designated, the Contract Owner will be the Annuitant,
provided the Contract Owner is a natural person. If the Contract Owner is a
non-natural person, then for the purposes of the death benefit, the Annuitant
shall be treated as the Contract Owner and the death of the Annuitant shall be
treated as a death of the Contract Owner.
DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT AFTER THE INCOME DATE
If the Annuitant dies after the Income Date, the death benefit, if any, will be
payable to the Beneficiary as specified in the Annuity Option elected. The
Company will require proof of the Annuitant's death. Death benefits will be paid
at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
Annuitant's death.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
INCOME DATE
The Contract Owner selects an Income Date at the time of application (or at the
time of issue for certain Contracts). The Income Date must always be the first
day of a calendar month. The Income Date may not be later than the month
following the Annuitant's 85th birthday or 10 years from the Effective Date, if
later. If no Income Date is selected on the application, the date will be the
later of the Annuitant's 65th birthday (or 85th birthday for certain Contracts)
or 10 years from the Effective Date.
CHANGE IN INCOME DATE AND ANNUITY OPTION
The Contract Owner may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the Company, at any time prior to the Income Date, change the Income Date. The
Income Date must always be the first day of a calendar month. The Income Date
may not be later than the month following the Annuitant's 85th birthday (or 10
years from the Effective Date, if later).
The Contract Owner may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the Company, at any time prior to the Income Date, select and/or change the
Annuity Option.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
Instead of having the proceeds paid in one sum, the Contract Owner may select
one of the Annuity Options. The Annuity Options are available on a fixed or
variable basis or a combination of fixed and variable (not available in all
states), except the LIFE ANNUITY WITH CASH REFUND Option which is only available
on a fixed basis.
The amount of the initial annuity payment is dependent on (i) the Contract Value
at the time of annuitization, (ii) the Annuity Option selected, (iii) the Age of
the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant, and (iv) the sex of the Annuitant and any
joint Annuitant where allowed (see "Tax Status - Qualified Plans"). Under a
fixed option, the dollar value of subsequent annuity payments will not vary.
Under a variable option, subsequent annuity payments will vary based on the
investment performance of the Sub-Accounts selected. Current purchase rates
available may be more favorable than those guaranteed in the Contract.
The following Annuity Options are available:
LIFE ANNUITY. Monthly annuity payments are paid during the life of the
Annuitant, ceasing with the last annuity payment due prior to the Annuitant's
death.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH GUARANTEE FOR A MINIMUM PERIOD. The Company will make monthly
payments during the life of the Annuitant, but at least for the minimum period
shown in the annuity tables contained in the Contract. The amount of each
monthly payment per $1,000 of proceeds is based on the age (and sex, where
permissible) of the Annuitant when the first payment is made and on the
guaranteed period chosen. If the Annuitant dies within the guaranteed period,
the discounted value of the unpaid guaranteed payments will be paid by the
Company as a final payment.
JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY. Monthly annuity payments are paid during the
joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated second person and are paid
thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the survivor, ceasing with the last
annuity payment due prior to the survivor's death.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH CASH REFUND. The Company will pay equal monthly payments
during the life of the Annuitant. Upon the death of the Annuitant, after
payments have started, the Company will pay in one sum any excess of the amount
of the proceeds applied under this Option over the total of all payments made
under this Option. The amount of each monthly payment per $1,000 of proceeds is
based on the age (and sex, where permissible) of the Annuitant when the first
payment is made.
ANNUITY UNITS
The dollar amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment is determined by
applying the available value (after deduction of any premium taxes not
previously deducted) to the table using the age (and sex, where permissible) of
the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant. The number of Annuity Units is then
determined by dividing this dollar amount by the then current Annuity Unit
value. Thereafter, the number of Annuity Units remains unchanged during the
period of annuity payments. This determination is made separately for each
Sub-Account of the Variable Account. The number of Annuity Units is determined
for each Sub-Account and is based upon the available value in each Sub-Account
as of the date annuity payments are to begin. The dollar amount determined for
each Sub-Account will then be aggregated for purposes of making payments. The
prorata portion of the Contract Maintenance Charge is deducted.
The dollar amount of the second and later variable annuity payments is equal to
the number of Annuity Units determined for each Sub-Account times the Annuity
Unit value for that Sub-Account as of the due date of the payment. This amount
may increase or decrease from month to month. The prorata portion of the
Contract Maintenance Charge is deducted each month.
The annuity tables contained in the Contract are based on a five percent (5%)
assumed investment rate. If the actual net investment rate exceeds five percent
(5%), payments will increase. Conversely, if the actual rate is less than five
percent (5%), annuity payments will decrease. If a higher assumed investment
rate were used, the initial payment would be higher, but the actual net
investment rate would have to be higher in order for annuity payments to
increase.
The Annuitant receives the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units each month.
The value of a fixed number of Annuity Units will reflect the investment
performance of the Sub-Account selected and the amount of each annuity payment
will vary accordingly.
PURCHASE PAYMENTS AND CONTRACT VALUE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
The Contracts may be purchased under a flexible purchase payment plan. Purchase
payments are payable in the frequency and in the amount selected by the Contract
Owner. The initial purchase payment is due on the Effective Date. The initial
purchase payment must be at least $2,000. Subsequent purchase payments must be
at least $250. These minimum amounts are not waived for Qualified Plans. The
Company reserves the right to decline any application (except in New Jersey) or
purchase payment. Amounts in excess of $1 million require preapproval by the
Company. The Company may, at its sole discretion, waive the minimum payment
requirements. The Contract Owner may elect to increase, decrease or change the
frequency of purchase payments.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Purchase payments are allocated to one or more of the Sub-Accounts within the
Variable Account or to the Fixed Account as selected by the Contract Owner. IN
WASHINGTON, THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL APPROVED BY THE WASHINGTON
INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. IN CALIFORNIA, THE MUTUAL SHARES SECURITIES FUND AND THE
MUTUAL DISCOVERY SECURITIES FUND ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL APPROVED BY THE
CALIFORNIA INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. (CHECK WITH YOUR AGENT REGARDING AVAILABILITY.)
For each Sub-Account, the purchase payments are converted into Accumulation
Units. The number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract is determined
by dividing the purchase payment allocated to the Sub-Account by the value of
the Accumulation Unit for the Sub-Account. Purchase payments allocated to the
Fixed Account are credited in dollars.
The Company has reserved the right to allocate initial purchase payments to the
Money Market Sub-Account (except those allocated to the Fixed Account) until the
expiration of the Free-Look Period. In the event that the Company does so
allocate initial purchase payments to the Money Market Sub-Account, at the end
of the Free-Look Period the Contract Value will be allocated to the
Sub-Account(s) selected by the Contract Owner. Currently, however, the Company
will allocate the initial purchase payment directly to the Sub-Account(s) and/or
the Fixed Account as selected by the Contract Owner.
Transfers do not change the allocation instructions for payments. Subsequent
payments will be allocated as directed by the Contract Owner in instructions
accompanying a payment; if no direction is given, the allocation will be that
which has been most recently directed for payments by the Contract Owner. The
Contract Owner may change the allocation of future payments without fee, penalty
or other charge upon written notice or telephone instructions to the Valuemark
Service Center. A change will be effective for payments received on or after
receipt of the written notice or telephone instructions.
The Company reserves the right to limit the number of investment options (23
Franklin Funds and the Allianz Life Fixed Account) that a Contract Owner may
invest in at any one time. Currently, the Contract Owner may initially select up
to nine investment options and may only be invested in a maximum of ten
investment options at any one time throughout the life of the Contract. The
Company reserves the right to change the maximum number of investment options in
the future.
For initial purchase payments, if the forms required to issue a Contract are
received in good order, the Company will apply the purchase payment to the
Variable Account and credit the Contract with Accumulation Units and/or to the
Fixed Account and credit the Contract with dollars within two business days of
receipt.
In addition to the underwriting requirements of the Company, good order means
that the Company has received federal funds (monies credited to a bank's account
with its regional Federal Reserve Bank). If the forms required to issue a
Contract are not in good order, the Company will attempt to get them in good
order or the Company will return the forms and the purchase payment within five
business days. The Company will not retain purchase payments for more than five
business days while processing incomplete forms unless it has been so authorized
by the purchaser.
For subsequent purchase payments, the Company will apply purchase payments to
the Variable Account and credit the Contract with Accumulation Units and/or to
the Fixed Account and credit the Contract with dollars during the Valuation
Period next following the Valuation Period during which the purchase payment was
received in good order.
TRANSFER OF CONTRACT VALUES
Prior to the Income Date, the Contract Owner may transfer all or part of the
Contract Owner's interest in a Sub-Account to another Sub-Account or to or from
the Fixed Account without the imposition of any fee or charge if there have been
no more than three transfers made in the Contract Year. If more than three
transfers have been made in the Contract Year, the Company reserves the right to
deduct a transfer fee. Currently, 12 transfers may be made in a Contract Year
without a charge. (See "Charges and Deductions - Deduction for Transfer Fee.")
Neither the Variable Account nor the Trust is designed for professional market
timing organizations, other entities or individuals using programmed, large or
frequent transfers. A pattern of exchanges that coincides with a "market timing"
strategy may be disruptive to a Fund and may be refused. Accounts under common
ownership or control may be aggregated for purposes of transfer limits. In
coordination with the Trust, the Company reserves the right to restrict the
transfer privilege or reject any specific purchase payment allocation request
for any person whose transactions seem to follow a timing pattern.
After the Income Date, provided a variable annuity option was selected, the
Contract Owner may make transfers. The Company reserves the right to charge for
all transfers after the Income Date.
All transfers are subject to the following:
a. The deduction of any transfer fee that may be imposed. The transfer fee will
be deducted from the amount which is transferred if the entire amount in the
Sub-Account or the Fixed Account is being transferred; otherwise from the amount
remaining in the Sub-Account or the Fixed Account from which the transfer is
made.
b. The minimum amount which may be transferred is the lesser of (i) $1,000 from
each Sub-Account or the Fixed Account; or (ii) the Contract Owner's entire
interest in the Sub-Account or the Fixed Account.
c. No partial transfer will be made if the Contract Owner's remaining Contract
Value in the Sub-Account or the Fixed Account will be less than $1,000.
d. Transfers will be effected during the Valuation Period next following receipt
by the Company of a written transfer request (or by telephone, if authorized)
containing all required information. However, no transfer may be made effective
within seven calendar days prior to the date on which the first annuity payment
is due. No transfers may occur until the end of the Free-Look Period. (See
"Highlights.")
e. On or after the Income Date, the Contract Owner may not make a transfer from
the Fixed Account to the Variable Account. Currently, on or after the Income
Date, one transfer to the Fixed Account will be allowed.
f. After Income Date, no transfer may be made if it will result in any selected
Sub-Account or the Fixed Account providing less than 10% of the annuity benefits
under the Contract.
g. Any transfer direction must clearly specify the amount which is to be
transferred and the Accounts which are to be affected.
h. The Company reserves the right at any time and without prior notice to any
party to terminate, suspend or modify the transfer privileges described above,
subject to applicable state law and regulation.
A Contract Owner may elect to make transfers by telephone. To elect this option
the Contract Owner must do so in writing to the Company. If there are Joint
Owners, unless the Company is informed to the contrary, instructions will be
accepted from either one of the Joint Owners. The Company will use reasonable
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine.
If it does not, the Company may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions. The Company tape records all telephone instructions.
Transfers do not change the allocation instructions for future payments. (See
"Purchase Payments and Contract Value - Allocation of Purchase Payments.")
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Dollar Cost Averaging is a program which, if elected, enables a Contract Owner
to systematically allocate specified dollar amounts from the Money Market
Sub-Account, The U.S. Government Securities Sub-Account or the Fixed Account to
the Contract's other Sub-Accounts (maximum of eight) at regular intervals. By
allocating amounts on a regularly scheduled basis as opposed to allocating the
total amount at one particular time, a Contract Owner may be less susceptible to
the impact of market fluctuations.
Dollar Cost Averaging may be selected for 12 to 36 months. The minimum amount
per period to allocate is $1,000. All Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will be
made effective the tenth of the month (or the next Valuation Date if the tenth
of the month is not a Valuation Date). Election into this program may occur at
any time by properly completing the Dollar Cost Averaging election form,
returning it to the Company by the first of the month, to be effective that
month, and insuring that sufficient value is in either the Money Market
Sub-Account, The U.S. Government Securities Sub-Account or the Fixed Account.
When utilizing the Dollar Cost Averaging program, a Contract Owner must be
invested in either the Money Market Sub-Account, The U.S. Government Securities
Sub-Account or the Fixed Account and may invest in a maximum of eight of the
other Sub-Accounts.
Dollar Cost Averaging will terminate when any of the following occurs: (1) the
number of designated transfers has been completed; (2) the value of the Money
Market Sub-Account, The U.S. Government Securities Sub-Account or the Fixed
Account (as applicable) is insufficient to complete the next transfer; (3) the
Contract Owner requests termination in writing and such writing is received by
the first of the month in order to cancel the transfer scheduled to take effect
that month; or (4) the Contract is terminated. The Dollar Cost Averaging program
may not be active following the Income Date. There is no current charge for
Dollar Cost Averaging but the Company reserves the right to charge for this
program. The Company does not intend to profit from any such charge. In the
event there are additional transfers, the transfer fee may be charged. Transfers
made pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging program are not counted in
determining the applicability of the transfer fee.
AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
The Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) is a program by which a Contract Owner may
make monthly or quarterly investments by electronic funds transfer from their
checking or savings account if their bank is a member of an Automatic Clearing
House. Election of this program may occur at the time a Contract is issued, or
at any time thereafter by completing and signing the appropriate form and
returning it to the Company. The form must be received in good order by the
first of the month in order for AIP to begin that same month. Investments take
place on the 20th of the month, or the next business day. AIP may not be used
for the initial purchase payment. The minimum investment that may be made by AIP
is $250.
AIP is subject to any regulations that may govern the bank account, the
Automatic Clearing House, or the Contract. The Company may correct any error by
a debit or credit to the Contract Owner's bank account and/or Contract.
Participation in AIP may be stopped at any time at the request of the Contract
Owner. When the Company is advised to stop AIP, no automatic investments will be
processed until signed authorization is received to initiate the plan again. The
Company will need to be notified by the first of the month in order to stop or
change AIP within that month. If a transaction is rejected or returned to the
Company for any reason, including stop payment, insufficient funds, or account
closed, the respective number of units will be removed from the Contract Owner's
account, and AIP will be discontinued.
If AIP is used for Qualified Contract, the Contract Owner should contact his or
her tax adviser for maximum contributions.
CONTRACT VALUE
The value of the Contract is the sum of the values attributable to the Contract
for each Sub-Account and the Fixed Account. The value of each Sub-Account is
determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units attributable to the
Contract in the Sub-Account by the value of an Accumulation Unit for the
Sub-Account.
ACCUMULATION UNIT
For each Sub-Account, purchase payments are converted into Accumulation Units.
This is done by dividing each purchase payment by the value of an Accumulation
Unit for the Valuation Period during which the purchase payment is allocated to
the Sub-Account. The Accumulation Unit value for each Sub-Account was
arbitrarily set initially at $10. The Accumulation Unit value for any later
Valuation Period is determined by subtracting (b) from (a) and dividing the
result by (c) where:
a. is the net result of
1) the assets of the Sub-Account attributable to Accumulation Units
(i.e., the aggregate value of the underlying Eligible Investments held
at the end of such Valuation Period); plus or minus
2) the cumulative charge or credit for taxes reserved which is
determined by the Company to have resulted from the operation of the
Sub-Account;
b. is the cumulative unpaid charge for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
and for the Administrative Expense Charge (See "Charges and Deductions");
and
c. is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of such Valuation
Period.
The Accumulation Unit value may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to
Valuation Period.
DISTRIBUTOR
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NALAC Financial Plans, Inc. ("NFP"), 1750 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis,
Minnesota, acts as the distributor of the Contracts. NFP is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The Contracts are offered on a continuous basis. NFP
has subcontracted with Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("Advisers") for it and/or
certain of its affiliates to provide certain marketing support services and NFP
compensates these entities for their services.
Commissions will be paid to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts.
Broker-dealers will be paid commissions, up to an amount currently equal to 6.0%
of purchase payments, for promotional or distribution expenses associated with
the marketing of the Contracts. The Company, by agreement with the
broker-dealer, pays commissions as a combination of a certain percentage amount
at the time of sale and a trail commission (which when combined could exceed
6.0% of purchase payments). In addition, under certain circumstances, the
Company and/or Advisers or certain of its affiliates, under a marketing support
agreement with NFP, may pay certain sellers for other services not directly
related to the sale of the Contracts such as special marketing support
allowances. Commissions may be recovered from broker-dealers if a full or
partial surrender occurs within 12 months of a purchase payment.
SURRENDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the Contract is in force and before the Income Date, the Company will,
upon request to the Company by the Contract Owner, allow the surrender of all or
a portion of the Contract for its Surrender Value. Surrenders will result in the
cancellation of Accumulation Units from each applicable Sub-Account and/or a
reduction in the Fixed Account value in the ratio that the value of each
Sub-Account and/or the Fixed Account value bears to the total Contract Value.
The Contract Owner must specify which units are to be canceled or values are to
be reduced if other than the above mentioned method of cancellation is desired.
The Company will pay the amount of any surrender from the Variable Account
within seven (7) days of receipt of a valid request, unless the "Delay of
Payments" provision is in effect. (See "Surrenders - Delay of Payments.")
Certain tax withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to surrenders from
the Contracts. (See "Tax Status.") For Contracts purchased in connection with
403(b) plans, the Code limits the withdrawal of amounts attributable to
contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement (as defined in
Section 403(b)(11) of the Code) to circumstances only when the Contract Owner:
(1) attains age 591/2; (2) separates from service; (3) dies; (4) becomes
disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); or (5) in the
case of hardship.
However, withdrawals for hardship are restricted to the portion of the Contract
Owner's Contract Value which represents contributions made by the Contract Owner
and does not include any investment results. The limitations on withdrawals
became effective on January 1, 1989 and apply only to salary reduction
contributions made after December 31, 1988, to income attributable to such
contributions and to income attributable to amounts held as of December 31,
1988. The limitations on withdrawals do not affect rollovers or transfers
between certain Qualified Plans. Contract Owners should consult their own tax
counsel or other tax adviser regarding any distributions.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL
The Company permits a systematic withdrawal plan which enables a Contract Owner
to pre-authorize a periodic exercise of the contractual withdrawal rights
described above. Systematic withdrawal is not available for Non-Qualified
Contracts where the Contract Owner is under age 591/2. Certain tax penalties and
restrictions may apply to systematic withdrawals from the Contracts. (See "Tax
Status - Tax Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts.") Contract Owners
entering into such a plan instruct the Company to withdraw a level dollar amount
from the Contract on a monthly or quarterly basis. Currently, systematic
withdrawal on a monthly or quarterly basis is available to Contract Owners who
have a Contract Value of $50,000 or more and on a quarterly basis only to
Contract Owners who have a Contract Value of at least $20,000 but less than
$50,000. The amount deducted will result in the cancellation of Accumulation
Units from each applicable Sub-Account and/or the reduction of values in the
Fixed Account in the ratio that the value of each Sub-Account and/or the Fixed
Account bears to the total Contract Value. The Contract Owner must specify in
writing in advance which units are to be canceled or values are to be reduced if
other than the above mentioned method of cancellation is desired. The Company
reserves the right to modify the eligibility rules at any time, without notice.
The total systematic withdrawal in a Contract Year which can be made without
incurring a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is limited to not more than 9% of
the Contract Value. However, the 9% limit may be increased to allow systematic
withdrawals to meet the applicable minimum distribution requirements for
Qualified Contracts. The exercise of the systematic withdrawal plan in any
Contract Year replaces the 15% amount which is allowable per year without
incurring a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Any other withdrawal in a year
when the systematic withdrawal plan has been utilized will be subject to the
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.
DELAY OF PAYMENTS
The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone payments for any period
when:
1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
2. trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
3. an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of securities held in the
Variable Account is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the value of the Variable Account's net assets; or
4. during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by
order, so permits for the protection of Contract Owners.
The applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
will govern as to whether the conditions described in 2. and 3. exist.
The Company reserves the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer
from the Fixed Account for the period permitted by law but not for more than six
months after written election is received by the Company.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
While the Company has primary responsibility for all administration of the
Contracts, it has retained the services of Delaware Valley Financial Services,
Inc. ("DVFS" or "Valuemark Service Center") pursuant to an Administration
Agreement. Such administrative services include issuance of the Contracts and
maintenance of Contract Owners' records. The Company pays all fees and charges
of DVFS. DVFS serves as the administrator to various insurance companies
offering variable and fixed annuity and variable life insurance contracts. The
Company's ability to administer the Contracts could be adversely affected should
DVFS elect to terminate the Agreement.
PERFORMANCE DATA
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MONEY MARKET SUB-ACCOUNT
From time to time, the Company or NFP may advertise the "yield" and "effective
yield" of the Money Market Sub-Account. Both yield figures will be based on
historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
"yield" of the Money Market Sub-Account refers to the income generated by
Contract Values in the Money Market Sub-Account over a seven-day period (which
period will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then "annualized."
That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during that week is
assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a
percentage of the Contract Values in the Money Market Sub-Account. The
"effective yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income
earned by Contract Values in the Money Market Sub-Account is assumed to be
reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield"
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. The computation
of the yield calculation includes a deduction for the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge, the Administrative Expense Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge.
OTHER SUB-ACCOUNTS
From time to time, the Company or NFP may publish the current yields and total
returns of the other Sub-Accounts in advertisements and communications to
Contract Owners. The current yield for each Sub-Account will be calculated by
dividing the annualization of the interest income earned by the underlying Fund
during a recent 30-day period by the maximum Accumulation Unit value at the end
of such period. Total return information will include the Sub-Account's average
annual total return over the most recent four calendar quarters, the period from
the Sub-Account's inception of operations, and, for Sub-Accounts in existence
for five years or more, for five years. The average annual total return is based
upon the value of the Accumulation Units acquired through a hypothetical $1,000
investment of the Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the specified
period and the value of the Accumulation Unit at the end of such period,
assuming reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of the Mortality
and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative Expense Charge, Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge, and Contract Maintenance Charge. Each Sub-Account may also
advertise cumulative and total return information over different periods of time
without the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and Contract Maintenance Charge.
The Company or NFP may, in addition, advertise or present yield or total
return performance information computed on a different basis, or for the Funds.
Contract Owners should note that the investment results of each Sub-Account will
fluctuate over time, and any presentation of a Sub-Account's current yield or
total return for any prior period should not be considered as a representation
of what an investment may earn or what a Contract Owner's yield or total return
may be in any future period. Hypothetical performance illustrations for a
hypothetical contract may be prepared for sales literature or advertisements.
See "Calculation of Performance Data" in the Statement of Additional
Information.
The Appendix to this Prospectus contains performance information that you might
find informative. The Mutual Shares Securities Fund and the Mutual Discovery
Securities Fund ("New Valuemark funds") are newly created and therefore do not
yet have their own performance record. However, they have the same investment
objectives and portfolio managers and substantially the same investment policies
as two corresponding series of Franklin Mutual Series Fund Inc. (formerly,
Mutual Series Fund Inc.) which have been sold to the public ("Public Funds"). In
order to show how the performance of the Public Funds would have affected
Accumulation Unit values, hypothetical performance information was developed.
Part 1 in the Appendix shows the historical performance of the Public Funds
which reflects the deduction of the historical fees and expenses paid by the
Public Funds and not those paid by the New Valuemark funds. Part 2 shows
hypothetical performance figures for the Accumulation Units which assume the
deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the Administrative Expense
Charge and the fees and expenses that the Public Funds paid. Part 3 shows
hypothetical performance figures for the Accumulation Units which reflect the
deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the Administrative Expense
Charge, the Contract Maintenance Charge, the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
and the fees and expenses that the Public Funds paid. The hypothetical
performance figures for the Accumulation Units have not been restated to reflect
the higher fees for the New Valuemark funds. If the higher fees were used, the
hypothetical performance shown would be lower. Future performance may vary and
the results shown are not necessarily representative of future results.
PERFORMANCE RANKING
The performance of each or all of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account may
be compared in its advertisements and sales literature to the performance of
other variable annuity issuers in general or to the performance of particular
types of variable annuities investing in mutual funds, or series of mutual funds
with investment objectives similar to each of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable
Account or indices. Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper") and the Variable
Annuity Research and Data Service ("VARDS") are independent services which
monitor and rank the performance of variable annuity issuers in each of the
major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.
Lipper's rankings include variable life issuers as well as variable annuity
issuers. VARDS rankings compare only variable annuity issuers. The performance
analyses prepared by Lipper and VARDS rank such issuers on the basis of total
return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but do not take sales charges,
redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level into
consideration. In addition, VARDS prepares risk adjusted rankings, which
consider the effects of market risk on total return performance. This type of
ranking may address the question as to which funds provide the highest total
return with the least amount of risk. Other ranking services may be used as
sources of performance comparisons, such as CDA/Weisenberger and Morningstar.
TAX STATUS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The following description is based upon the Company's understanding of
current federal income tax law applicable to annuities in general. The Company
cannot predict the probability that any changes in such laws will be made.
Purchasers are cautioned to seek competent tax advice regarding the possibility
of such changes. The Company does not guarantee the tax status of the Contracts.
Purchasers bear the complete risk that the Contracts may not be treated as
"annuity contracts" under federal income tax laws. It should be further
understood that the following discussion is not exhaustive and that special
rules not described in this Prospectus may be applicable in certain situations.
Moreover, no attempt has been made to consider any applicable state or other tax
laws.
GENERAL
Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities in general. A Contract
Owner is not taxed on increases in the value of a Contract until distribution
occurs, either in the form of a lump sum payment or as annuity payments under
the Settlement Option elected. For a lump sum payment received as a total
surrender (total redemption) or death benefit, the recipient is taxed on the
portion of the payment that exceeds the cost basis of the Contract. For
Non-Qualified Contracts, this cost basis is generally the purchase payments,
while for Qualified Contracts there may be no cost basis. The taxable portion of
the lump sum payment is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.
For annuity payments, a portion of each payment in excess of an exclusion amount
is includible in taxable income. The exclusion amount for payments based on a
fixed annuity option is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio that
the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund
feature) bears to the expected return under the Contract. The exclusion amount
for payments based on a variable annuity option is determined by dividing the
cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee)
by the number of years over which the annuity is expected to be paid. Payments
received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (i.e. when the
total of the excludable amounts equal the investment in the Contract) are fully
taxable. The taxable portion is taxed at ordinary income rates. For certain
types of Qualified Plans there may be no cost basis in the Contract within the
meaning of Section 72 of the Code. Contract Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries
under the Contracts should seek competent financial advice about the tax
consequences of any distributions.
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal
income tax purposes, the Variable Account is not a separate entity from the
Company, and its operations form a part of the Company.
DIVERSIFICATION
Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on the
underlying assets of variable annuity contracts. The Code provides that a
variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for any
period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments are not adequately
diversified in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States
Treasury Department ("Treasury Department"). Disqualification of the Contract as
an annuity contract would result in imposition of federal income tax to the
Contract Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to the
receipt of payments under the Contract. The Code contains a safe harbor
provision which provides that annuity contracts such as the Contracts meet the
diversification requirements if, as of the end of each quarter, the underlying
assets meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company and
no more than fifty-five percent (55%) of the total assets consist of cash, cash
items, U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies.
On March 2, 1989, the Treasury Department issued regulations (Treas. Reg.
1.817-5) which established diversification requirements for the investment
portfolios underlying variable contracts such as the Contracts. The regulations
amplify the diversification requirements for variable contracts set forth in the
Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision described above.
Under the regulations, an investment portfolio will be deemed adequately
diversified if: (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the
portfolio is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the
value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any two
investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the
portfolio is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of
the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any four
investments.
The Code provides that for purposes of determining whether or not the
diversification standards imposed on the underlying assets of variable contracts
by Section 817(h) of the Code have been met, "each United States government
agency or instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer."
The Company intends that all Funds of the Trust underlying the Contracts will be
managed by the Managers for the Trust in such a manner as to comply with these
diversification requirements.
The Treasury Department has indicated that the diversification Regulations do
not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which Contract Owner control
of the investments of the Variable Account will cause the Contract Owner to be
treated as the owner of the assets of the Variable Account, thereby resulting in
the loss of favorable tax treatment for the Contract. At this time it cannot be
determined whether additional guidance will be provided and what standards may
be contained in such guidance.
The amount of Contract Owner control which may be exercised under the Contract
is different in some respects from the situations addressed in published rulings
issued by the Internal Revenue Service in which it was held that the policy
owner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account. It is unknown
whether these differences, such as the Contract Owner's ability to transfer
among investment choices or the number and type of investment choices available,
would cause the Contract Owner to be considered as the owner of the assets of
the Variable Account resulting in the imposition of federal income tax to the
Contract Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to
receipt of payments under the Contract.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set forth a new
position, such guidance or ruling will generally be applied only prospectively.
However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set forth a new
position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the Contract Owner being
retroactively determined to be the owner of the assets of the Variable Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, the Company reserves the right to modify
the Contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
The Code provides that multiple non-qualified annuity contracts which are issued
within a calendar year period to the same contract owner by one company or its
affiliates are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the
tax consequences of any distribution. Such treatment may result in adverse tax
consequences, including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such
combination of contracts. Contract Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to
purchasing more than one non-qualified annuity contract in any calendar year
period.
CONTRACTS OWNED BY OTHER THAN NATURAL PERSONS
Under Section 72(u) of the Code, the investment earnings on premiums for the
Contracts will be taxed currently to the Contract Owner if the Owner is a
non-natural person, e.g., a corporation, or certain other entities. Such
Contracts generally will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax
purposes. However, this treatment is not applied to Contracts held by a trust or
other entity as an agent for a natural person nor to Contracts held by Qualified
Plans. Purchasers should consult their own tax counsel or other tax adviser
before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-natural person.
TAX TREATMENT OF ASSIGNMENTS
An assignment or pledge of a Contract may be a taxable event. Contract Owners
should therefore consult competent tax advisers should they wish to assign their
Contracts.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
All distributions or the portion thereof which is includible in the gross income
of the Contract Owner are subject to federal income tax withholding. Generally,
amounts are withheld from periodic payments at the same rate as wages and at the
rate of 10% from non-periodic payments. However, the Contract Owner, in most
cases, may elect not to have taxes withheld or to have withholding done at a
different rate.
Effective January 1, 1993, certain distributions from retirement plans qualified
under Section 401 or Section 403(b) of the Code, which are not directly rolled
over to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account or
individual retirement annuity, are subject to a mandatory 20% withholding for
federal income tax. The 20% withholding requirement generally does not apply to:
a) a series of substantially equal payments made at least annually for the life
or life expectancy of the participant or joint and last survivor expectancy of
the participant and a designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10
years or more; or b) distributions which are required minimum distributions; or
c) the portion of the distributions not includible in gross income (i.e. returns
of after-tax contributions). Participants should consult their own tax counsel
or other tax adviser regarding withholding requirements.
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS -
NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions from annuity
contracts. It provides that if the Contract Value exceeds the aggregate purchase
payments made, any amount withdrawn will be treated as coming first from the
earnings and then, only after the income portion is exhausted, as coming from
the principal. Withdrawn earnings are includible in gross income. It further
provides that a ten percent (10%) penalty will apply to the income portion of
any distribution. However, the penalty is not imposed on amounts received (a)
after the taxpayer reaches age 591/2; (b) after the death of the Contract Owner;
(c) if the taxpayer is totally disabled (for this purpose disability is as
defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (d) paid in a series of substantially
equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or
life expectancy) of the taxpayer or for the joint lives (or joint life
expectancies) of the taxpayer and his Beneficiary; (e) under an immediate
annuity; or (f) which are allocable to purchase payments made prior to August
14, 1982.
The above information does not apply to Qualified Contracts. However, separate
tax withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to such Qualified Contracts.
(See "Tax Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts.")
QUALIFIED PLANS
The Contracts offered by this Prospectus are designed to be suitable for use
under various types of Qualified Plans. Because of the minimum purchase payment
requirements, these Contracts may not be appropriate for some periodic payment
retirement plans. Taxation of participants in each Qualified Plan varies with
the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan.
Contract Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under
a Qualified Plan may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan
regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued pursuant to the
plan. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements
that are not incorporated into the Company's administrative procedures. Contract
Owners, participants and Beneficiaries are responsible for determining that
contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the
Contracts comply with applicable law. Following are general descriptions of the
types of Qualified Plans with which the Contracts may be used. Such descriptions
are not exhaustive and are for general informational purposes only. The tax
rules regarding Qualified Plans are very complex and will have differing
applications, depending on individual facts and circumstances. Each purchaser
should obtain competent tax advice prior to purchasing a Contract issued under a
Qualified Plan.
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in Arizona Governing Committee v.
Norris that optional annuity benefits provided under an employer's deferred
compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
vary between men and women. The Contracts sold by the Company in connection with
Qualified Plans will utilize annuity tables which do not differentiate on the
basis of sex. Such annuity tables will also be available for use in connection
with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
Contracts issued pursuant to Qualified Plans include special provisions
restricting Contract provisions that may otherwise be available and described in
this Prospectus. Generally, Contracts issued pursuant to Qualified Plans are not
transferable except upon surrender or annuitization. Various penalty and excise
taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of
applicable limitations. Furthermore, certain withdrawal penalties and
restrictions may apply to surrenders from Qualified Contracts. (See "Tax
Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts.")
a. H.R. 10 Plans
Section 401 of the Code permits self-employed individuals to establish Qualified
Plans for themselves and their employees, commonly referred to as "H.R. 10" or
"Keogh" plans. Contributions made to the Plan for the benefit of the employees
will not be included in the gross income of the employees until distributed from
the Plan. The tax consequences to participants may vary, depending upon the
particular Plan design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on
all Plans, including on such items as: amounts of allowable contributions; form,
manner and timing of distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and
nonforfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and
participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and
surrenders. (See "Tax Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts.")
Purchasers of Contracts for use with an H.R. 10 Plan should obtain competent tax
advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
b. Tax-Sheltered Annuities
Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of "tax-sheltered annuities" by
public schools and certain charitable, educational and scientific organizations
described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. These qualifying employers may make
contributions to the Contracts for the benefit of their employees. Such
contributions are not includible in the gross income of the employee until the
employee receives distributions from the Contract. The amount of contributions
to the tax-sheltered annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by the Code.
Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions governing such items as
transferability, distributions, nondiscrimination and withdrawals. (See "Tax
Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts" and "Tax-Sheltered Annuities -
Withdrawal Limitations.") Employee loans are not allowed under these Contracts.
Any employee should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and
suitability of such an investment.
c. Individual Retirement Annuities
Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an
individual retirement program known as an "Individual Retirement Annuity"
("IRA"). Under applicable limitations, certain amounts may be contributed to an
IRA which may be deductible from the individual's gross income. These IRAs are
subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions, transferability and
distributions. (See "Tax Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts.") Under
certain conditions, distributions from other IRAs and other Qualified Plans may
be rolled over or transferred on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Sales of
Contracts for use with IRAs are subject to special requirements imposed by the
Code, including the requirement that certain informational disclosure be given
to persons desiring to establish an IRA. Purchasers of Contracts to be qualified
as Individual Retirement Annuities should obtain competent tax advice as to the
tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
d. Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit corporate employers to establish
various types of retirement plans for employees. These retirement plans may
permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide benefits under the Plan.
Contributions to the Plan for the benefit of employees will not be includible in
the gross income of the employee until distributed from the Plan. The tax
consequences to participants may vary, depending upon the particular Plan
design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on all Plans,
including on such items as: amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and
timing of distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and
nonforfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and
participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and
surrenders. Participant loans are not allowed under the Contracts purchased in
connection with these Plans. (See "Tax Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified
Contracts.") Purchasers of Contracts for use with Corporate Pension or
Profit-Sharing Plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment
and suitability of such an investment.
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS -
QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
In the case of a withdrawal under a Qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the
amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual's
cost basis to the individual's total accrued benefit under the retirement plan.
Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from a Qualified
Contract. Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable
portion of any distribution from qualified retirement plans, including Contracts
issued and qualified under Code Sections 401 (H.R. 10 and Corporate Pension and
Profit-Sharing Plans), 403(b) (Tax-Sheltered Annuities) and 408(b) (Individual
Retirement Annuities). To the extent amounts are not includible in gross income
because they have been properly rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible
Qualified Plan, no tax penalty will be imposed. The tax penalty will not apply
to the following distributions: (a) if distribution is made on or after the date
on which the Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) reaches age 591/2; (b)
distributions following the death or disability of the Contract Owner or
Annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose disability is as defined in Section
72(m)(7) of the Code); (c) after separation from service, distributions that are
part of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than
annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the Contract Owner or Annuitant
(as applicable) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such Contract
Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) and his designated beneficiary; (d)
distributions to a Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) who has separated
from service after he has attained age 55; (e) distributions made to the
Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do
not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction under Code Section 213 to the
Contract Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable
year for medical care; and (f) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order.
The exceptions stated in items (d), (e) and (f) above do not apply in the case
of an Individual Retirement Annuity. The exception stated in item (c) applies to
an Individual Retirement Annuity without the requirement that there be a
separation from service.
Generally, distributions from a Qualified Plan must commence no later than April
1 of the calendar year following the year in which the employee attains age
701/2. Required distributions must be over a period not exceeding the life or
life expectancy of the individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the
individual and his or her designated beneficiary. If the required minimum
distributions are not made, a 50% penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not
distributed.
TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITIES - WITHDRAWAL LIMITATIONS
The Code limits the withdrawal of amounts attributable to contributions made
pursuant to a salary reduction agreement (as defined in Section 403(b)(11) of
the Code) to circumstances only when the Contract Owner: (1) attains age 591/2;
(2) separates from service; (3) dies; (4) becomes disabled (within the meaning
of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); or (5) in the case of hardship. However,
withdrawals for hardship are restricted to the portion of the Contract Owner's
Contract Value which represents contributions by the Contract Owner and does not

APPENDIX
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION OF SELECTED PUBLIC FUNDS
The Mutual Shares Securities Fund and Mutual Discovery Securities Fund ("New
Valuemark funds") are newly created series of Franklin Valuemark Funds and have
no performance record. The New Valuemark funds do, however, have the same
investment objective and portfolio managers,1 and substantially the same
investment policies, as two corresponding series of Franklin Mutual Series Fund
Inc. (formerly "Mutual Series Fund Inc.") which have been sold directly to the
public ("Public Funds"). Thus, the performance of the Public Funds may be
considered relevant by investors.
1 In November 1996, Franklin Resources, Inc., parent company of the investment
managers of the Franklin Valuemark Funds, completed the acquisition of Heine
Securities Corporation, the investment manager of Mutual Series Fund Inc. This
transaction did not, however, change the individuals responsible for the
day-to-day operations of Franklin Mutual Series Fund Inc., who are also
responsible for the day-to-day operations of the New Valuemark funds.
Part 1 of the chart shows the past performance of the Public Funds, in terms of
average annual total return over the periods indicated. Average annual total
return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the
stated periods, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains at net
asset value. These figures reflect the deduction of the historical fees and
expenses paid by the Public Funds, which have been sold without sales charges.
Part 2 shows hypothetical performance of Accumulation Units of the New Valuemark
funds, based on the past average annual total return of the Public Funds and the
deduction of all current recurring expenses of the Separate Account, as
described above in this Prospectus. These figures do not reflect any Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge or Annual Contract Maintenance Charge, and have not been
restated to reflect the higher expenses of the New Valuemark funds, which are
also described in this Prospectus; all of which would lower the hypothetical
performance shown.
Part 3 shows hypothetical performance of Accumulation Units of the New Valuemark
funds, based on the past average annual total return of the Public Funds and the
deduction of all current recurring expenses of the Separate Account, as well as
deduction of the applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and Annual Contract
Maintenance Charge, as described above in this Prospectus. These figures have
not been restated to reflect the higher expenses of the New Valuemark funds,
which are also described in this Prospectus and which would lower the
hypothetical performance shown.
Past performance cannot predict or guarantee future results of the New Valuemark
funds. In addition, the investment performance of the New Portfolios will differ
from the performance of the Public Funds because of product and portfolio
differences, including differences in portfolio size, the investments held, the
timing of purchases of similar investments, cash flows, minor differences in
certain investment policies, insurance product related tax diversification
requirements, state insurance regulations, and additional administrative and
insurance costs associated with insurance company separate accounts. These
figures are not adjusted for tax consequences.

Company
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information regarding Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (the
"Company") and its ownership is contained in the Prospectus. On April 1, 1993,
the Company changed its name from North American Life and Casualty Company to
its present name. The Company is rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. BEST, an
independent analyst of the insurance industry. The financial strength of an
insurance company may be relevant insofar as the ability of a company to make
fixed annuity payments from its general account.
Experts
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The financial statements of Allianz Life Variable Account B and the consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31,
1995 included in this Statement of Additional Information have been audited by
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent auditors, as indicated in their reports
included in this Statement of Additional Information and are included herein in
reliance upon such reports and upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing.
Legal Opinions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal matters in connection with the Contracts described herein are being passed
upon by the law firm of Blazzard, Grodd & Hasenauer, P.C., Westport,
Connecticut.
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NALAC Financial Plans, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as
the distributor. The offering is on a continuous basis.
Calculation of Performance Data
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Return
From time to time, the Company may advertise the performance data for the
Sub-Accounts in advertisements and Contract Owner communications. Such data will
show the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit based on the
performance of a Sub-Account over a stated period of time, usually a calendar
year, which is determined by dividing the increase (or decrease) in value for
that unit by the accumulation unit value at the beginning of the period.
Any such advertisement will include total return figures for the time periods
indicated in the advertisement. Such total return figures will reflect the
deduction of a 1.25% Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, a 0.15% Administrative
Expense Charge, the fees of the Funds being advertised and any applicable
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and Contract Maintenance Charge ("Standardized
Total Return"). The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and Contract Maintenance
Charge deductions are calculated assuming a Contract is surrendered at the end
of the reporting period.
The hypothetical value of a Contract purchased for the time periods described in
the advertisement will be determined by using the actual accumulation unit
values for an initial $1,000 purchase payment, and deducting any applicable
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and Contract Maintenance Charge to arrive at
the ending hypothetical value. The average annual total return is then
determined by computing the fixed interest rate that a $1,000 purchase payment
would have to earn annually, compounded annually, to grow to the hypothetical
value at the end of the time periods described. The formula used in these
calculations is:
P (1 + T)n = ERV
P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000;
T = average annual total return;
n = number of years;
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 purchase payment made at
the beginning of the period at the end of the period.
The Company may also advertise performance data which will be calculated in the
same manner as described above but which will not reflect the deduction of the
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge
("Non-Standardized Total Return"). Cumulative total return is calculated in a
similar manner as described above except that the results are not annualized.
The Company may also advertise cumulative and total return information over
different periods of time.
The Company may also present performance information computed on a different
basis.
<PAGE>
Yield
The Money Market Sub-Account. The Company may advertise yield information for
the Money Market Sub-Account. The Money Market Sub-Account's current yield may
vary each day, depending upon, among other things, the average maturity of the
underlying Fund's investment securities and changes in interest rates, operating
expenses, the deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the
Administrative Expense Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge and, in
certain instances, the value of the underlying Fund's investment securities. The
fact that the Sub-Account's current yield will fluctuate and that the principal
is not guaranteed should be taken into consideration when using the
Sub-Account's current yield as a basis for comparison with savings accounts or
other fixed-yield investments. The yield at any particular time is not
indicative of what the yield may be at any other time.
The Money Market Sub-Account's current yield is computed on a base period return
of a hypothetical Contract having a beginning balance of one accumulation unit
for a particular period of time (generally seven days). The return is determined
by dividing the net change (exclusive of any capital changes) in such
accumulation unit by its beginning value, and then multiplying it by 365/7 to
get the annualized current yield. The calculation of net change reflects the
value of additional shares purchased with the dividends paid by the Fund, and
the deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative Expense
Charge and Contract Maintenance Charge.
The effective yield reflects the effects of compounding and represents an
annualization of the current return with all dividends reinvested. (Effective
yield = [(Base Period Return + 1)365/7] -1.)
For the seven-day period ending on 6/30/96, the Money Market Sub-Account had a
current yield of 3.47% and an effective yield of 3.53%.
Other Sub-Accounts. The Company may also quote current yield in advertisements
and Contract Owner communications for the other Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account
(other than the Money Market Sub-Account) will publish standardized total return
information with any quotation of current yield.
The yield computation is determined by dividing the net investment income per
accumulation unit earned during the period (minus the deduction for the
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative Expense Charge and Contract
Maintenance Charge) by the accumulation unit value on the last day of the period
and annualizing the resulting figure, according to the following formula:
Yield = 2 [((a-b) + 1)6 - 1]
-----
cd
where:
a = net investment income earned during the period by the Fund attributable to
shares owned by the Sub-Account;
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements);
c = the average daily number of accumulation units outstanding during the
period;
d = the maximum offering price per accumulation unit on the last day of the
period.
The above formula will be used in calculating quotations of yield, based on
specified 30-day periods identified in the advertisement or communication. Yield
calculations assume that no Contingent Deferred Sales Charges have been deducted
(see the Prospectus for information regarding the Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge). The Company does not currently advertise yield information for any
Sub-Account (other than the Money Market Sub-Account).
Performance Ranking
Total return information for the Sub-Accounts may be compared to relevant
indices, including U.S. domestic and international taxable bond indices and data
from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., Standard & Poor's Indices, or VARDS.
From time to time, evaluation of performance by independent sources may also be
used in advertisements and in information furnished to present or prospective
Contract Owners.
Performance Information
Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of a Sub-Account's
return, including the automatic reinvestment by Allianz Life Variable Account B
of all distributions and any change in a Sub-Account's value over the period.
The following chart shows the average annual total return on a hypothetical
investment in the Sub-Accounts for the last year, from the date that the
Sub-Account began operations, and, for Sub-Accounts in existence for five years
or more, for five years, through June 30, 1996. In addition, cumulative total
returns for the periods shown through June 30, 1996, are presented. The returns
reflect the deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Administrative
Expense Charge and the actual fees and expenses paid by each Fund and are shown
both with and without the deduction of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and
Contract Maintenance Charge.

Annuity Provisions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Annuity Payout
A variable annuity is an annuity with payments which: (1) are not predetermined
as to dollar amount; and (2) will vary in amount with the net investment results
of the applicable Sub-Account(s) of the Variable Account. At the Income Date,
the Contract Value in each Sub-Account will be applied to the applicable Annuity
Tables. The Annuity Table used will depend upon the Annuity Option chosen. Both
sex distinct and unisex Annuity Tables are utilized by the Company, depending on
the state and type of Contract. If, as of the Income Date, the then current
Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of Contracts provide a larger
income than that guaranteed for the same form of annuity under the Contract, the
larger amount will be paid. The dollar amount of annuity payments after the
first is determined as follows:
1. The dollar amount of the first annuity payment is divided by the value of an
Annuity Unit as of the Income Date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units
for each monthly payment. The number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the
annuity payment period.
2. The fixed number of Annuity Units is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for
the last Valuation Period of the month preceding the month for which the payment
is due. This result is the dollar amount of the payment.
3. The total dollar amount of each Variable Annuity variable payout is the sum
of all Sub-Account Variable Annuity payments, reduced by the Contract
Maintenance Charge.
<PAGE>
Annuity Unit Value
The value of an Annuity Unit for a Sub-Account is determined (see below) by
subtracting (2) from (1), dividing the result by (3) and multiplying the result
by .999866337248 (.999866337248 is the daily factor to neutralize the assumed
net investment rate of 5% per annum which is built into the annuity rate table)
where:
1. is the net result of
a. the assets of the Sub-Account attributable to the Annuity Units; plus or
minus
b. the cumulative charge or credit for taxes reserved which is determined by
the Company to have resulted from the operation of the Sub-Account;
2. is the cumulative unpaid charge for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
and for the Administrative Expense Charge; and
3. is the number of Annuity Units outstanding at the end of the Valuation
Period.
The value of an Annuity Unit may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to
Valuation Period.
Fixed Annuity Payout
A fixed annuity is an annuity with payments which are guaranteed as to dollar
amount by the Company and do not vary with the investment experience of the
Variable Account. The Fixed Account value on the day immediately preceding the
Annuity Date will be used to determine the Fixed Annuity monthly payment. The
monthly Annuity Payment will be based upon the Contract Value at the time of
annuitization, the Annuity Option selected, the age of the annuitant and any
joint annuitant and the sex of the annuitant and any joint annuitant where
allowed.

ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
OF ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
================================================================================
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1996 (unaudited)
1. Organization
Allianz Life Variable Account B (Variable Account) is a segregated investment
account of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life) and is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment
trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as
amended). The Variable Account was established on May 31, 1985 and commenced
operations January 24, 1989. Accordingly, it is an accounting entity wherein
all segregated account transactions are reflected.
The Variable Account's assets are the property of Allianz Life and are held for
the benefit of the owners and other persons entitled to payments under variable
annuity contracts issued through the Variable Account and underwritten by
Allianz Life. The assets of the Variable Account, equal to the reserves and
other liabilities of the Variable Account, are not chargeable with liabilities
that arise from any other business which Allianz Life may conduct.
The Variable Account's sub-accounts may invest, at net asset values, in one or
more of the funds of the Franklin Valuemark Funds (FVF), managed by Franklin
Advisers, Inc., in accordance with the selection made by the contract owner.
Not all funds are available as investment options for the products which
comprise the Variable Account.
Certain officers and trustees of the FVF are also officers and/or directors
of Franklin Advisers, Inc. and/or Allianz Life.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
Investments of the Variable Account are valued daily at market value using net
asset values provided by Franklin Advisers, Inc.
Realized investment gains include realized gain distributions received from the
respective funds and gains on the sale of fund shares as determined by the
average cost method. Realized gain distributions are reinvested in the
respective funds. Dividend distributions received from the FVF are reinvested in
additional shares of the FVF and are recorded as income to the Variable Account
on the ex-dividend date.
A Fixed Account investment option is available to deferred annuity contract
owners. This account is comprised of equity and fixed income investments which
are part of the general assets of Allianz Life. The liabilities of the Fixed
Account are part of the general obligations of Allianz Life and are not included
in the Variable Account. The guaranteed minimum rate of return on the Fixed
Account is 3%.
The Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund, Fixed Account and Small Cap Fund
were added as available investment options on May 1, 1995, October 1, 1995 and
November 1, 1995, respectively. The Zero Coupon - 1995 Fund matured and was
closed on December 15, 1995. The Capital Growth Fund and Templeton International
Smaller Companies Fund were added as available investment options on May 1,
1996.
On May 1, 1995, the Equity Growth Fund name was changed to Growth and Income
Fund. The Global Income Fund name was changed to Templeton Global Income
Securities Fund on May 1, 1996.
Contracts in Annuity Payment Period
Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to the
1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, using an assumed investment return
(AIR) equal to the AIR of the specific contracts, either 3% or 5%. Charges to
annuity reserves for mortality and risk expense are reimbursed to Allianz Life
if the reserves required are less than originally estimated. If additional
reserves are required, Allianz Life reimburses the account.
Expenses
Asset Based Expenses
A mortality and expense risk charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a
daily basis equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net assets of the
Variable Account.
An administrative charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a daily basis
equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the daily net assets of the Variable
Account.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Expenses (cont.)
Contract Based Expenses
A contract maintenance charge is paid by the contract owner annually from each
deferred annuity contract by liquidating contract units at the end of the
contract year and at the time of full surrender. The amount of the charge is $30
each year. Contract maintenance charges paid by the contract owners during the
period ended June 30, 1996 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 1995 were
$2,250,020 and $4,294,361, respectively. These contract charges are reflected in
the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as other transactions.
A contingent deferred sales charge is deducted from the contract value at the
time of a surrender. This charge applies only to a surrender of purchase
payments received within five years of the date of surrender. For this purpose,
purchase payments are allocated on a first-in, first-out basis. The amount of
the contingent deferred sales charge is calculated by: (a) allocating purchase
payments to the amount surrendered; and (b) multiplying each allocated purchase
payment that has been held under the contract for the period shown below by the
charge shown below:
<TABLE>

4-5 1.5% 4-5 1.5%
5+ 0% 5+ 0%
</TABLE>
and (c) adding the products of each multiplication in (b) above.
A deferred annuity contract owner may, not more frequently than once annually on
a cumulative basis, make a surrender each contract year of fifteen percent (15%)
of purchase payments paid, less any prior surrenders, without incurring a
contingent deferred sales charge. For a partial surrender, the contingent
deferred sales charge will be deducted from the remaining contract value, if
sufficient; otherwise it will be deducted from the amount surrendered. Total
contingent deferred sales charges paid by the contract owners for the period
ended June 30, 1996 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 1995 were
$5,444,241 and $12,373,225, respectively.
Currently, twelve transfers are permitted each contract year. Thereafter, the
fee is $25 per transfer, or 2% of the amount transferred, if less. Currently,
transfers associated with the dollar cost averaging program are not counted.
Total transfer charges paid by the contract owners for the period ended June 30,
1996 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 1995 were $44,417 and $119,180,
respectively. Transfer charges are reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net
Assets as other transactions. Transfers to the Fixed Account for the period
ended June 30, 1996 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 1995 were
$6,375,180 and $11,989,631, respectively.
Premium taxes or other taxes payable to a state or other governmental entity
will be charged against the contract values. Allianz Life may, in its sole
discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the contract value at
a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right Allianz Life
may have to deduct such amounts at a later date.
On certain contracts, a systematic withdrawal plan is available which allows an
owner to withdraw up to 9% of purchase payments less prior surrenders annually,
paid monthly or quarterly, without incurring a contingent deferred sales charge.
The exercise of the systematic withdrawal plan in any contract year replaces the
15% penalty free privilege for that year.
A rescission is defined as a contract that is returned to the Company by the
Contract Owner and canceled within the free-look period, generally within 10
days.

of the Variable Account. If, in the future, Allianz Life determines that the
Variable Account may incur federal income taxes, it may then assess a charge
against the Variable Account for such taxes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and
Contract Owners of Allianz Life Variable Account B:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
sub-accounts of Allianz Life Variable Account B as of December 31, 1995, the
related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Variable 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.
Investment securities held in custody for the benefit of the Variable Account
were confirmed to us by the Franklin Valuemark Funds. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts of
Allianz Life Variable Account B at December 31, 1995, the results of their
operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets for
each of the years in the two-years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
of
ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION
Allianz Life Variable Account B (Variable Account) is a segregated investment
account of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life) and
is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment
trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as
amended). The Variable Account was established on May 31, 1985 and commenced
operations January 24, 1989. Accordingly, it is an accounting entity wherein
all segregated account transactions are reflected.
The Variable Account's assets are the property of Allianz Life and are held
for the benefit of the owners and other persons entitled to payments under
variable annuity contracts issued through the Variable Account and
underwritten by Allianz Life. The assets of the Variable Account, equal to
the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account, are not chargeable
with liabilities that arise from any other business which Allianz Life may
conduct.
The Variable Account's sub-accounts may invest, at net asset values, in one or
more of the funds of the Franklin Valuemark Funds (FVF), managed by Franklin
Advisers, Inc., in accordance with the selection made by the contract owner.
Not all funds are available as investment options for the products which
comprise the Variable Account.
Certain officers and trustees of the FVF are also officers and/or directors of
Franklin Advisers, Inc. and/or Allianz Life.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENTS
Investments of the Variable Account are valued daily at market value using net
asset values provided by Franklin Advisers, Inc.
Realized investment gains include realized gain distributions received from
the respective funds and gains on the sale of fund shares as determined by the
average cost method. Realized gain distributions are reinvested in the
respective funds. Dividend distributions received from the FVF are reinvested
in additional shares of the FVF and are recorded as income to the Variable
Account on the ex-dividend date.
A Fixed Account investment option is available to deferred annuity contract
owners. This account is comprised of equity and fixed income investments
which are part of the general assets of Allianz Life. The liabilities of the
Fixed Account are part of the general obligations of Allianz Life and are not
included in the Variable Account. The guaranteed minimum rate of return on
the Fixed Account is 3%.
The Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund and Templeton Global Growth Fund
were added as available investment options on March 15, 1994. The Templeton
Global Asset Allocation Fund, Fixed Account and Small Cap Fund were added as
available investment options on May 1, 1995, October 1, 1995 and November 1,
1995, respectively. The Zero Coupon - 1995 Fund matured and was closed on
December 15, 1995.
In April 1995, the Equity Growth Fund name was changed to Growth and Income
Fund.
CONTRACTS IN ANNUITY PAYMENT PERIOD
Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to the
1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, using an assumed investment return
(AIR) equal to the AIR of the specific contracts, either 3% or 5%. Charges to
annuity reserves for mortality and risk expense are reimbursed to Allianz Life
if the reserves required are less than originally estimated. If additional
reserves are required, Allianz Life reimburses the account.
EXPENSES
ASSET BASED EXPENSES
A mortality and expense risk charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a
daily basis equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net assets of the
Variable Account.
An administrative charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a daily
basis equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the daily net assets of the
Variable Account.
CONTRACT BASED EXPENSES
A contract maintenance charge is paid by the contract owner annually from each
deferred annuity contract by liquidating contract units at the end of the
contract year and at the time of full surrender. The amount of the charge is
$30 each year. Contract maintenance charges paid by the contract owners
during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $4,294,361 and
$3,070,519, respectively. These contract charges are reflected in the
Statements of Changes in Net Assets as other transactions.
A contingent deferred sales charge is deducted from the contract value at the
time of a surrender. This charge applies only to a surrender of purchase
payments received within five years of the date of surrender. For this
purpose, purchase payments are allocated on a first-in, first-out basis. The
amount of the contingent deferred sales charge is calculated by: (a)
allocating purchase payments to the amount surrendered; and (b) multiplying
each allocated purchase payment that has been held under the contract for the
period shown below by the charge shown below:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C>
VALUEMARK II VALUEMARK III
- ------------------- -------------------

3-4 3% 3-4 3%
4-5 1.5% 4-5 1.5%
5+ 0% 5+ 0%
</TABLE>
and (c) adding the products of each multiplication in (b) above.
A deferred annuity contract owner may, not more frequently than once annually
on a cumulative basis, make a surrender each contract year of fifteen percent
(15%) of purchase payments paid, less any prior surrenders, without incurring
a contingent deferred sales charge. For a partial surrender, the contingent
deferred sales charge will be deducted from the remaining contract value, if
sufficient; otherwise it will be deducted from the amount surrendered. Total
contingent deferred sales charges paid by the contract owners for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $12,373,225 and $8,600,401,
respectively.
Currently, twelve transfers are permitted each contract year. Thereafter, the
fee is $25 per transfer, or 2% of the amount transferred, if less. Currently,
transfers associated with the dollar cost averaging program are not counted.
Total transfer charges paid by the contract owners for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $119,180 and $88,989, respectively. Transfer
charges are reflected in the financial statements as other transactions.
Transfers to the Fixed Account were $11,989,631 during the year ended December
31, 1995.
Premium taxes or other taxes payable to a state or other governmental entity
will be charged against the contract values. Allianz Life may, in its sole
discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the contract value
at a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right Allianz
Life may have to deduct such amounts at a later date.
On certain contracts, a systematic withdrawal plan is available which allows
an owner to withdraw up to 9% of purchase payments less prior surrenders
annually, paid monthly or quarterly, without incurring a contingent deferred
sales charge. The exercise of the systematic withdrawal plan in any contract
year replaces the 15% penalty free privilege for that year.
A rescission is defined as a contract that is returned to the Company by the
Contract Owner and canceled within the free-look period, generally within 10
days.
3. CAPITALIZATION
On January 5, 1994, $100 and $500,100 was provided by Allianz Life for the
establishment of the Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund and Templeton
Global Growth Fund, respectively. All investments were withdrawn by Allianz
Life on August 29, 1994 at the then-current market value of $535,212.
On April 18, 1995, $500,000 was provided by Allianz Life for the establishment
of the Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund. All investments were withdrawn
by Allianz Life on December 21, 1995 at the then-current market value of
$525,500.
On September 18, 1995, $250,000 was provided by Allianz Life for the
establishment of the Small Cap Fund. On December 31, 1995, the market value
of this investment was $255,750.

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

operation of the Variable Account. If in the future Allianz Life determines
that the Variable Account may incur federal income taxes, it may then assess a
charge against the Variable Account for such taxes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Allianz Life
Insurance Company of North America (a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz of
America, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and changes in
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
In 1994, as discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In 1993, as discussed in notes 1,
8 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions and No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

volume, 13%, 71% and 16% of the Company's business is life, annuity and
accident and health, respectively. The Company's primary distribution
channels are through strategic alliances with other insurance companies and
third party marketing organizations. The Company has a significant
relationship as of December 31, 1995 with a mutual fund company and its
broker/dealer network related to sales of its variable life and variable
annuity products and another significant administration, marketing and
reinsurance relationship with an unrelated insurance company.
Following is a summary of the significant accounting policies reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which vary in certain respects
from accounting rules prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory
authorities. The accounts of the Company's major subsidiaries, Preferred Life
Insurance Company of New York and Canadian American Financial Corporation and
other less significant subsidiaries have been consolidated. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to be consistent
with the current year's presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported
assets and liabilities including reporting or disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary
significantly from management's estimates.
RECOGNITION OF TRADITIONAL LIFE, GROUP LIFE AND GROUP ACCIDENT AND HEALTH
REVENUE
Traditional life products include products with guaranteed premiums and
benefits and consist principally of whole life and term insurance policies,
limited payment contracts and certain annuity products with life
contingencies.
Premiums on traditional life and group life products are recognized as income
when due. Group accident and health premiums are recognized as earned on a pro
rata basis over the risk coverage periods. Benefits and expenses for
traditional and group products are matched with earned premiums so that
profits are recognized over the premium paying periods of the contracts. This
matching is accomplished by establishing provisions for future policy benefits
and policy and contract claims, and deferring and amortizing related policy
acquisition costs.
<PAGE>
RECOGNITION OF NONTRADITIONAL AND VARIABLE LIFE AND ANNUITY REVENUE
Nontraditional and variable life insurance and interest sensitive contracts
that have significant mortality or morbidity risk are accounted for in
accordance with the retrospective deposit method. Interest sensitive
contracts that do not have significant mortality or morbidity risk are
accounted for in a manner consistent with interest bearing financial
instruments. For both types of contracts, premium receipts are reported as
deposits to the contractholder's account while revenues consist of amounts
assessed against contractholders including surrender charges and earned
administrative service fees. Mortality or morbidity charges are also
accounted for as revenue on those contracts containing mortality or morbidity
risk. Benefits consist of interest credited to contractholder's accounts and
claims or benefits incurred in excess of the contractholder's balance.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS
Acquisition costs, consisting of commissions and other costs which vary with
and are primarily related to production of new business, are deferred. For
traditional life and group life products, such costs are amortized over the
revenue-producing period of the related policies using the same actuarial
assumptions used in computing future policy benefit reserves. Acquisition
costs for accident and health insurance policies are deferred and amortized
over the lives of the policies in the same manner as premiums are earned. For
interest sensitive products, acquisition costs are amortized in relation to
the present value of expected future gross profits from investment margins and
mortality, morbidity and expense charges. Deferred acquisition costs amortized
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $117,782, $108,676 and $72,431, respectively.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFIT RESERVES
Future policy benefit reserves on traditional life products are computed by
the net level premium method based upon estimated future investment yield,
mortality and withdrawal assumptions, commensurate with the Company's
experience, modified as necessary to reflect anticipated trends, including
possible unfavorable deviations. Most life reserve interest assumptions are
graded from 9% to 5.5%.
Future policy benefit reserves for interest sensitive products are generally
carried at accumulated contract values. Reserves on some deferred annuity
contracts are computed based on contractholder cash value accumulations,
adjusted for mortality, withdrawal and interest margin assumptions.
Fair values of investment contracts, which include deferred annuities and
other annuities without significant mortality risk, were determined by testing
amounts payable on demand against discounted cash flows using interest rates
commensurate with the risks involved. Fair values are based on the amount
payable on demand at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS
Policy and contract claims represent an estimate of claims and claim
adjustment expenses on accident and health and life insurance policies that
have been reported but not yet paid and incurred but not yet reported as of
December 31.
REINSURANCE
Insurance liabilities are reported before the effects of reinsurance. Amounts
paid or deemed to have been paid for claims covered by reinsurance contracts
are recorded as reinsurance receivable. Reinsurance receivables are recognized
in a manner consistent with the liabilities related to the underlying
reinsured contracts.
<PAGE>
INVESTMENTS
On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities which addresses the accounting and reporting for investments
in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities. Those investments are classified in one of
three categories. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent
and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity
securities" and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities bought
and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are
classified as "trading securities" and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not
classified as either "held-to-maturity securities" or "trading securities" are
classified as "available-for-sale securities" and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity, net of deferred taxes. SFAS No. 115 did not permit retroactive
application of its provisions. The Company classified the majority of its
investment portfolio as "available-for-sale securities" with a limited number
of securities classified as "held-to-maturity" at January 1, 1994.
At December 31, 1995, the Company transferred all of its securities with an
amortized cost of $83,357 classified as "held-to-maturity' to the
"available-for-sale" classifications as provided in the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Special Report on the implementation of SFAS No. 115.
The effect of this transfer was an increase in stockholder's equity of $1,789.
All of the Company's investment portfolio is classified as
"available-for-sale" at December 31, 1995.
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates
market. Policy loans are reflected at their unpaid principal balances.
Mortgage loans are reflected at unpaid principal balances adjusted for premium
and discount amortization and an allowance for uncollectible balances. During
1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures. SFAS No. 114 addresses accounting by
creditors for impairment of certain loans. It requires that impaired loans
within the scope of the Statement be measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate
or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price of the fair value of
supporting collateral. The Company analyzes loan impairment at least once a
year when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for possible credit losses.
SFAS No. 118 permits existing income recognition practices to continue. The
Company does not accrue interest on impaired loans and accounts for interest
income on a cash basis. The adoption of these Statements did not have a
material impact on the Company's net income or financial position.
Investments in real estate are reflected at the lower of cost or market value.
Real estate occupied by the Company is reflected at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Investments in real estate, exclusive of land, are being
depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from
3 to 30 years.
Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification
method.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, investments with a carrying value of $37,879
and $44,337, respectively, were held on deposit with various insurance
departments as required by statutory regulations.
The fair values of invested assets, excluding investments in real estate, are
deemed by management to approximate their estimated market values. The fair
value of mortgage loans has been calculated using discounted cash flows and is
based on pertinent information available to management as of year end. Policy
loan balances which are supported by the underlying cash value of the policies
approximate fair value. Changes in market conditions subsequent to year end
<PAGE>
may cause estimates of fair values to differ from the amounts presented
herein.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate accounts represent funds for which investment income and investment
gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholders and contractholders.
Each account has specific investment objectives and the assets are carried at
market value. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not
subject to claims which arise out of any other business of the Company.
Fair values of separate accounts assets were determined using the market value
of the investments held in segregated fund accounts. Fair values of separate
accounts liabilities were determined using the cash surrender values of the
policyholder's and contractholder's account.
RECEIVABLES
Receivable balances approximate estimated fair values. This is based on
pertinent information available to management as of year end including the
financial condition and credit worthiness of the parties underlying the
receivables. Changes in market conditions subsequent to year end may cause
estimates of fair values to differ from the amounts presented herein.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
The impact of implementation of SFAS No. 115 in 1994 was an increase in equity
of $74,866 at January 1, 1994.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED
In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires
impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are
expected to be disposed of by a company. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121
in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not
believe the effect of adoption will be material.

(2) BUSINESS COMBINATION
On May 31, 1993, the Company acquired the majority of the assets and
liabilities of Fidelity Union Life Insurance Company (FULICO), a wholly owned
subsidiary of AZOA, through an assumption reinsurance arrangement. FULICO
remained in existence retaining only its corporate charter and those assets
necessary to maintain its charter and licenses to conduct life insurance and
annuity business until it was sold in 1994.
The Company accounted for this transaction as an "as-if pooling of interests"
involving the combination of entities under the common control of AZOA.
Accordingly, all financial data for periods prior to May 31, 1993 were
restated to include the operations of FULICO and all intercompany transactions
were eliminated.

In 1995, in conjunction with an expanded marketing agreement, the Company
provided an unrelated insurance company with $30 million in exchange for a
fifteen year convertible debenture paying 5% interest for the first five years
with the interest rate reset annually thereafter at the one-year LIBOR plus
1%. If converted, the Company would obtain approximately 10% equity ownership
in the unrelated company. The Company has no intention of converting the
debenture in the near term.
During 1995 and 1994, the Company entered into mortgage backed security
reverse repurchase transactions ("dollar rolls") with certain securities
dealers. Under this program, the Company sells certain securities for
delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same
dealer to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on a specified
future date. The Company gives up the right to receive principal and interest
on the securities sold. As of December 31, 1995 there were no outstanding
amounts under the Company's dollar roll program. As of December 31, 1994,
mortgage backed securities underlying the agreements were carried at a market
value of $58,174 and other liabilities included $58,150 for funds received
under these agreements. Average balances outstanding were $67,735 and $66,110
and weighted average interest rates were 7.4% and 6.5% during 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
During 1995 and 1994 the Company participated in a securities lending program
that is administered by Allianz Investment Corporation (AIC), an affiliated
company. Under this program, the Company loans U.S. Treasury Notes to
qualified third parties. The Company obtains collateral for the loan equal to
102 percent of the estimated market value and accrued interest on the loaned
securities and receives a portion of the interest earned on the collateral.
In addition, the Company maintains full ownership rights to the securities
loaned, including investment income and has the ability to sell the securities
while they are on loan with the consent of the borrower. There were no
securities on loan at December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1994, the
estimated market value of the loaned securities was $110,063, collateralized
by investments in FNMA securities.

(6) ACCIDENT AND HEALTH CLAIMS RESERVES
Accident and health claims reserves are based on long-range projections
subject to uncertainty. Uncertainty regarding reserves of a given accident
year is gradually reduced as new information emerges each succeeding year,
thereby allowing more reliable re-evaluations of such reserves. While
management believes that reserves as of December 31, 1995 are adequate,
uncertainties in the reserving process could cause such reserves to develop
favorably or unfavorably in the near term as new or additional information
emerges. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the operating results
of the periods in which they are made. Movements in reserves which are small
relative to the amount of such reserves could significantly impact future
reported earnings of the Company.
<TABLE>

Activity in the accident and health claims reserves, exclusive of long term
care, hospital indemnity and AIDS reserves of $18,858, $11,149 and $8,742 in

<PAGE>
(7) REINSURANCE
In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to
loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding
risks under excess coverage and coinsurance contracts. The Company retains a
maximum of $1 million coverage per individual life.
Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to
policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result
in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts
deemed uncollectible. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its
reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize its exposure
to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.
Included in reinsurance receivables at December 31, 1995 are $873,724, $67,819
and $148,319 recoverable from insurers who, as of December 31, 1995, were
rated A+, A+ and B++, respectively by Best's Insurance Reports. A contingent
liability exists to the extent that the Company's reinsurers are unable to
meet their contractual obligations. Management is of the opinion that no
liability will accrue to the Company with respect to this contingency.

Although realization is not assured, the Company believes it is not necessary
to establish a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset as it is more
likely than not the deferred tax asset will be realized principally through
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable
income. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however,
could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future reversals of existing
taxable temporary differences and future taxable income are reduced.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had no tax loss carryforwards or
alternative minimum tax credits.
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with AZOA and all
of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated tax allocation agreement
stipulates that each company participating in the return will bear its share
of the tax liability pursuant to United States Treasury Department
regulations. The Company and each of its insurance subsidiaries generally
will be paid for the tax benefit on their losses, and any other tax
attributes, to the extent they could have obtained a benefit against their
<PAGE>
post-1990 separate return taxable income or tax. Income taxes paid by the
Company were $14,865, $15,162 and $28,465 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. At December 31, 1995 and 1994 the Company has a tax recoverable
from AZOA of $3,257 and $5,095 and a recoverable from Revenue Canada Taxation
of $690 and a payable to Revenue Canada Taxation of $1,301, respectively.
(9) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In November 1995, the Company purchased the 400 non-voting common shares in
its subsidiary, Canadian American Financial Corporation from AZOA for $7,903.
The acquisition of the shares increased the Company's equity ownership in both
voting and non-voting common stock to 100%.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, Allianz Real Estate (AzRE), a wholly owned
subsidiary of AZOA, owned 100% of the stock or was a limited partner of
certain entities whose assets include mortgage loans issued by the Company
amounting to $6,245 and $12,100, respectively. Included in the mortgage loans
are properties originally foreclosed upon by the Company of which the balances
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are $1,650 and $4,575, respectively.
Allianz Investment Corporation (AIC) manages the Company's investment
portfolio. The Company paid AIC $1,024, $1,285 and $1,207 in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively, for investment advisory fees. The Company's liability to
AIC was $377 and $0 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company shares a data center with affiliated insurance companies. Usage
charges paid to the data center by the Company were $3,752, $4,228 and $4,715
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company's liability for data center
charges was $337 and $457 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company reimbursed AZOA $738, $817 and $339 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, for certain administrative services performed. The Company's
liability to AZOA was $528 and $264 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
In June 1994, the Company authorized 200 million shares of preferred stock
with a par value of $1 per share. This preferred stock is issuable in series
with the number of shares, redemption rights and dividend rate designated by
the Board of Directors for each series. Dividends are cumulative at a rate
reflective of prevailing market conditions at time of issue and are payable
semiannually. Dividend payments are restricted by provisions in State of
Minnesota statutes. In June 1994, the Company issued 25 millions shares of
Series A preferred stock with a dividend rate of 6.4% to AZOA for $25,000. In
December 1994, the Company issued 15 millions shares of Series B preferred
stock with a dividend rate of 6.95% to AZOA for $15,000. In December 1995,
the Company redeemed and canceled the 15 million shares of Series B preferred
stock issued to AZOA. There are currently 25 million shares of Series A
preferred stock issued and outstanding.
In 1995 and 1994, AZOA contributed additional capital to the Company of $594
and $5,190, respectively.
(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company participates in the Allianz Primary Retirement Plan (Primary
Retirement Plan), a defined contribution plan. The Company makes
contributions to a money purchase pension plan on behalf of eligible
participants. All employees, excluding agents, are eligible to participate in
the Primary Retirement Plan after two years of service. The contributions are
based on a percentage of the participant's salary with the participants being
100% vested upon eligibility. It is the Company's policy to fund the plan
costs as accrued. Total pension contributions were $860, $918 and $1,363 in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
<PAGE>
The Company participates in the Allianz Asset Accumulation Plan (Allianz
Plan), a defined contribution plan sponsored by AZOA. Under the Allianz Plan
provisions, the Company will match from 50% to 100% of eligible employees'
contributions up to a maximum of 6% of a participant's compensation. The
total Company match for 1995, 1994 and 1993 Plan participants was 100%. All
employees, excluding agents, are eligible to participate after one year of
service and are fully vested in the Company's matching contribution after
three years of service. The Allianz Plan will accept participants' pretax or
after-tax contributions up to 15% of the participant's compensation. It is the
Company's policy to fund the Allianz Plan costs as accrued. The Company has
accrued $1,188, $1,266 and $1,270 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, toward
planned contributions.
The Company sponsors an asset accumulation plan for field agents. Under the
Plan provisions, the Company will match 100% of eligible agents' contributions
up to a maximum of 3% of a participant's compensation. The Plan accepts
participant's pretax or after tax contributions up to 10% of participant's
compensation. It is the Company's policy to fund the Plan costs as accrued.
In 1995, the Company discontinued support of its individual agency field force
and suspended contributions to the Plan as of January 1, 1996. Also during
1995, participation in the Plan decreased significantly resulting in a partial
plan termination whereby participants as of January 1, 1995 became fully
vested in the Plan. The Company has no intention to fully terminate the Plan
in the near term. Total Company contributions to the Plan were $118, $386 and
$319 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, effective January 1, 1993 which requires
benefits paid to retirees, other than pension benefits, to be accrued. The
transition obligation associated with this adoption was $4,006, which is net
of a $2,064 tax benefit. The Company's current plan obligation is $5,532 and
the liability is included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying balance
sheet.
(11) STATUTORY FINANCIAL DATA AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
Statutory accounting is directed toward insurer solvency and protection of
policyholders. Accordingly, certain items recorded in financial statements
prepared under GAAP are excluded in determining statutory policyholders'
surplus. These items include, among other, deferred acquisition costs,
furniture and fixtures, accident and health premiums receivable which are more
than 90 days past due, deferred taxes and undeclared dividends to
policyholders. Additionally, future life policy and annuity benefit reserves
calculated for statutory accounting do not include provisions for withdrawals.

</TABLE>
The Company is required to meet minimum statutory capital and surplus
requirements. The Company's statutory capital and surplus as of December 31,
1995 and 1994 was in compliance with these requirements. The maximum amount
of dividends which can be paid by Minnesota insurance companies to
stockholders without prior approval of the Commissioner of Commerce is subject
to restrictions relating to statutory earned surplus, also known as unassigned
funds. Unassigned funds are determined in accordance with the accounting
procedures and practices governing preparation of the statutory annual
statement, minus 25% of earned surplus attributable to unrealized capital
gains. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the Company may declare and pay
from its surplus, cash dividends of not more than the greater of 10% of its
beginning of the year statutory surplus in any year, or the net gain from
operations of the insurer, not including realized gains, for the 12-month
period ending the 31st day of the next preceding year. In 1995 and 1994,
respectively, the Company paid dividends on preferred stock in the amount of
$2,651 and $413, respectively to AZOA. Dividends of $23,433 could be paid in
1996 without prior approval of the Commissioner of Commerce.
REGULATORY RISK BASED CAPITAL
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
An insurance enterprise's state of domicile imposes minimum risk-based capital
requirements that were developed by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC). The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based
capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial
balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk.
Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of an enterprise's regulatory
total adjusted capital to its authorized control level risk-based capital, as
defined by the NAIC. Enterprises below specific triggerpoints or ratios are
classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective
action. The levels and ratios are as follows:

PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The Company is required to file annual statements with insurance regulatory
authorities which are prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted
by such authorities. Currently, prescribed statutory accounting practices
include state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules, as well as
a variety of publications of the NAIC. Permitted statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such
practices differ from state to state, may differ from company to company
within a state, and may change in the future. The NAIC currently has a
project underway to codify statutory accounting practices, the result of which
is expected to constitute the only source of "prescribed" statutory accounting
practices. Accordingly, that project will likely change the definition of
what comprises prescribed versus permitted statutory accounting practices, and
may result in changes to existing accounting policies insurance enterprises
use to prepare their statutory financial statements. The Company does not
currently use permitted statutory accounting practices which have a
significant impact on its statutory financial statements.
(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various pending or threatened
legal proceedings arising from the conduct of their business. In the opinion
of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
The Company is contingently liable for possible future assessments under
regulatory requirements pertaining to insolvencies and impairments of
unaffiliated insurance companies. Provision has been made for assessments
currently received and assessments anticipated for known insolvencies.
(13) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The net assets of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S.
dollars using exchange rates in effect at each year end. Translation adjustments

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners
As of September 12, 1996, there were 40,694 qualified Contract Owners and
81,163 non-qualified Contract Owners with Contracts in the Separate Account.
Item 28. Indemnification
The Bylaws of the Company provide that:
Each person (and the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person) made
or threatened to be made a party to any action, civil or criminal, by reason of
being or having been a Director, officer, or employee of the corporation (or by
reason of serving any other organization at the request of the corporation)
shall be indemnified to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Minnesota, and in the manner prescribed therein.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted for directors and officers or controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Life Insurance Company of North America created and validly existing
pursuant to the Minnesota Insurance Laws and the Regulations thereunder.
3. Under the acceptance of purchase payments made by an Owner pursuant to a
Contract issued in accordance with the Prospectus contained in the

Owner will have a legally-issued, fully-paid, non-assessable contractual
interest under such Contract.
You may use this opinion letter, or copy hereof, as an exhibit to the
