- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This prospectus describes group and individual deferred variable annuity
contracts (the "contract") offered by Golden American Life Insurance Company
("Golden American" "we" "our" or "us"). The owner ("you" or "your") purchases
the contract with an initial premium and is permitted to make additional
premium payments.
 
The contract is funded by Separate Account B ("Account B").
 
   
Nineteen divisions of Account B are currently available under the contract. The
investments available through the divisions of Account B include mutual fund
portfolios (the "Series") of The GCG Trust (the "GCG Trust") and the Equi-
Select Series Trust (the "ESS Trust").
    

This prospectus describes the contract and provides background information
regarding Account B. The prospectuses for the GCG Trust and the ESS Trust
(individually "a Trust," and collectively, "the Trusts"), which must accompany
this prospectus, provide information regarding investment activities and poli-
cies of the Trusts.
 
   
You may allocate your premiums among the nineteen divisions currently available
under the contract in any way you choose, subject to certain restrictions. You
may change the allocation of your accumulation value up to five times per
contract year free of charge.
    
 
You may surrender the contract for its cash surrender value at any time before
the annuity commencement date provided the annuitant and owner are living. The
cash surrender value will vary daily with the investment results of the
contract. We do not guarantee any minimum cash surrender value. You may make
partial withdrawals under the contract, subject to certain restrictions.
 
We will pay a death benefit to the beneficiary if the annuitant (when there is
no contingent annuitant) or owner dies prior to the annuity commencement date.
See Proceeds Payable to the Beneficiary.
 
   
This prospectus describes your principal rights and limitations and sets forth
the information concerning Accounts that investors should know before invest-
ing. A Statement of Additional Information dated February 3, 1997 relating to
Account B has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")

(1)  Contracts with a contract date prior to May 3, 1993 and the prospectus
     delivered in connection with such contracts described the sales load as a
     deferred load, which is equivalent to the combination of the distribution
     fee and surrender charge described above. Limited Edition contracts
     purchased through Golden American Separate Account D and the prospectus
     delivered in connection with such contracts also described the sales load
     as a deferred load.
(2)  If your initial premium will be $25,000 or more, we also offer DVA Series
     100 through another prospectus, which is a contract with a different
     charging structure.
(3)  Fees decline as combined assets increase (see Account B Divisions and the
     Trust prospectuses for details).
(4)  Other expenses generally consist of independent trustees fees and
     expenses.
(5)  The estimated expenses for the Managed Global Series are based on the
     actual experience of its predecessor for accounting purposes, the Managed
     Global Account of Golden American's Separate Account D. On September 3,
     1996, the Managed Global Account was reorganized into the Managed Global
     Division of Account B and the Managed Global Series of the GCG Trust.
   
(6)  Prior to October 6, 1995, EISI waived its management fee for the OTC,
     Research and Total Return Portfolios.
(7)  Other expenses shown take into account the effect of EISI's agreement to
     reimburse the portfolios for all operating expenses, excluding management
     fees, that exceed 0.75% of its average daily net assets. This reimburse-
     ment agreement commenced February 1, 1997. Prior to February 1, 1997 EISI
     reimbursed the portfolios for all operating expenses, excluding management
     fees, that exceeded 0.75% of their average daily net assets. This reim-
     bursement is voluntary and can be terminated at any time. In the absence
     of such reimbursement agreement, Other Expenses would have been 1.72%, 6%
     and 1.56%, respectively, for the OTC, Research, and Total Return Portfo-
     lios for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Growth & Income and Value +
     Growth Portfolios commenced operations on April 1, 1996 and has no prior
     operating history.

 SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACT
 
This prospectus has been designed to provide you with information regarding the
contract and Account B which funds the contract. Information concerning the
Series underlying the divisions of Account B is set forth in the Trust prospec-
tuses.
 
This summary is intended to provide only a very brief overview of the more
significant aspects of the contract. Further detail is provided in this
prospectus and in the contract. The contract, together with its attached appli-
cation or enrollment form and any riders or endorsements, constitutes the
entire agreement between you and us and should be retained.
 
This prospectus has been designed to provide you with the necessary information
to make a decision on purchasing the contract offered by Golden American and
funded by Account B.
 
You have a choice of investments. We do not promise that your accumulation
value will increase. Depending on the contract's investment experience for
funds invested in the Accounts, the accumulation value, cash surrender value
and death benefit may increase or decrease on any day. You bear the investment
risk.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
The contract is designed to establish retirement benefits for two types of
purchasers. The first type of purchaser is one who is eligible to participate
in, and purchases a contract for use with, an individual retirement annuity
("IRA") meeting the requirements of section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 ("qualified plan"). For a contract funding a qualified plan, distribu-
tion must commence not later than April 1st of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2. The second type of purchaser is
one who purchases a contract outside of a qualified plan ("non-qualified
plan").
 
The contract also offers a choice of annuity options to which you may apply the
accumulation value on the annuity commencement date or the cash surrender value
upon surrender of the contract. See Choosing an Income Plan.
 
AVAILABILITY
We can issue a contract if both the annuitant and the owner are not older than
age 85 and accept additional premium payments until either the annuitant or
owner reaches the attained age of 85 for non-qualified plans (age 70 1/2 for
qualified plans, except for rollover contributions). The minimum initial
premium is $10,000 for a non-qualified plan and $1,500 for a qualified plan. If
your initial premium will be $25,000 or more we also offer GoldenSelect DVA
Series 100 through another prospectus, which is a contract with a different
charging structure. We may change the minimum initial or additional premium
requirements for certain group or sponsored arrangements. See Group or Spon-
sored Arrangements.
 
The minimum additional premium payment we will accept is $500 for a non-quali-
fied plan and $250 for a qualified plan. We will take under consideration and
may refuse to accept a premium payment if the sum of all premium payments
received under the contract totals more than $1,500,000.
 
THE DIVISIONS
   
There are nineteen divisions of Account B currently available under the
contract. Each of the nineteen divisions offered under this prospectus invests
in a Mutual Fund portfolio with its own distinct investment objectives and
policies. Each division of Account B invests in a corresponding Series of the
GCG Trust, managed by Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), or a corresponding
Series of the ESS Trust, managed by Equitable Investment Services, Inc.
("EISI," and together with DSI, the "Managers"). The Trusts and the Managers
have retained several portfolio managers to manage the assets of each Series.
See Facts About the Company and the Account B and Account B Divisions.
    
 
HOW THE ACCUMULATION VALUE VARIES
The accumulation value varies each day based on investment results. You bear
the risk of poor investment performance and you receive the benefits from
favorable investment performance. The accumulation value also reflects premium
payments, charges deducted and partial withdrawals. See Accumulation Value in
Each Division.
 
SURRENDERING YOUR CONTRACT
The cash surrender value varies each day depending on investment results. We do
not guarantee any minimum cash surrender value. You may surrender the contract
and receive its cash surrender value at any time while both the annuitant and
owner are living and before the annuity commencement date. See Cash Surrender
Value and Surrendering to Receive the Cash Surrender Value.

 SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
TAKING PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
After the free look period, prior to the annuity commencement date and while
the contract is in effect, you may take partial withdrawals from the accumula-
tion value of the contract. You may take conventional partial withdrawals once
per contract year without charge. Alternatively, you may elect in advance to
take systematic partial withdrawals on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you
have an IRA contract, you may elect IRA partial withdrawals on a monthly, quar-
terly or annual basis.
 
Partial withdrawals are subject to certain restrictions as defined in this
prospectus and partial withdrawals above a specified percentage of your accumu-
lated value may be subject to a surrender charge. See Partial Withdrawals.
 
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Under this option, you may choose to have a specified dollar amount transferred
from either the Limited Maturity Bond Division or Liquid Asset Division to the
other divisions on a monthly basis with the objective of shielding your invest-
ment from short-term price fluctuations. See Dollar Cost Averaging Option.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT
You may cancel your contract within the free look period which is a ten day
period of time beginning when you receive the contract. For purposes of admin-
istering our allocation and certain other administrative rules, we deem this
period to end 15 days after the contract is mailed from our Customer Service
Center. Some states may require that we provide a longer free look period. In
some states we restrict the initial premium allocation during the free look
period. See Your Right to Cancel or Exchange Your Contract.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO CHANGE THE CONTRACT
The contract may be changed to another annuity plan subject to our rules at the
time of the change. See Other Contract Changes.
 
DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
The contract provides a death benefit to the beneficiary if the annuitant (when
there is no contingent annuitant) or an owner dies prior to the annuity
commencement date. See Proceeds Payable to the Beneficiary. We may reduce the
death benefit proceeds payable under certain group or sponsored arrangements.
See Group or Sponsored Arrangements.
 
CONTRACT PROCESSING PERIODS
The first contract processing period begins with the contract date and ends at
the close of business on the first contract processing date. All subsequent
contract processing periods begin at the close of business on the most recent
contract processing date and extend to the close of business on the next
contract processing date. There is one contract processing period each year.
 
DEDUCTIONS FOR CHARGES AND FEES
We invest the entire amount of the initial and any additional premium payments
in the divisions you select, subject to certain restrictions we impose. See
Restrictions on Allocation of Premium Payments. We then periodically deduct
certain amounts from your accumulation value. See Charges and Fees. We may
reduce certain charges under group or sponsored arrangements. See Group or
Sponsored Arrangements. We may also reduce certain charges for contracts
purchased in combination with certain flexible premium variable life products
that we offer. Charges are deducted proportionately from all divisions in which
you are invested, unless you have elected the Charge Deduction Division. The
charges we deduct are:
 
DISTRIBUTION FEE
 We deduct a sales load in an annual amount of 1.00% of each premium at the
 end of each contract processing period for a period of six years from the
 date we receive and accept each premium payment.
 
 We also offer through other prospectuses other DVAs which are contracts with
 different charging structures.
 
SURRENDER CHARGE
 A surrender charge is imposed as a percentage of premium if the contract is
 surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken during the six year
 period from the date we receive and accept each premium payment. The
 percentage imposed at the time of surrender or excess partial withdrawal
 depends on the distribution fee collected to the time the contract is surren-
 dered or the excess partial withdrawal is taken. The surrender charge in the
 first contract year is 6.00% and reduces by 1.00% each year during the six
 year period from the date we receive and accept each premium payment.
 
 Contracts with a contract date prior to May 3, 1993 and the prospectus deliv-
 ered in connection with such contracts, described the sales load as a
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
 SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 deferred load, which is equivalent to the combination of the distribution fee
 and surrender charge described above. GoldenSelect Limited Edition contracts
 purchased through Golden American Separate Account D and the prospectus
 delivered in connection with such contracts also described the sales load as
 a deferred load.
 
 If your initial premium will be $25,000 or more we also offer DVA Series 100
 through another prospectus, which is a contract with a different charging
 structure.
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 We charge each division of Account B with a daily asset based charge for
 mortality and expense risks equivalent to an annual rate of 0.90%.
 
PREMIUM TAXES
 Generally, premium taxes are incurred on the annuity commencement date, and a
 charge for premium taxes is then deducted from the accumulation value on such
 date. Some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time the initial or
 additional premiums are paid, regardless of the annuity commencement date.
 
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 The amount deducted is $40 per contract year if total premiums paid in the
 first contract year are less than $100,000. If the total premiums paid in the
 first contract year equals $100,000 or more, the charge is zero.
 
EXCESS ALLOCATION CHARGE
 The first five allocation changes in any contract year may be made without
 charge. Each subsequent allocation change is subject to a $25 excess alloca-
 tion charge.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
 If you take more than one conventional partial withdrawal during a contract
 year, we impose a charge of the lesser of $25 and 2.0% of the amount with-
 drawn for each additional conventional partial withdrawal. See Partial With-
 drawals, Conventional Partial Withdrawal Option.
 
ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 We charge each division of Account B with a daily asset based charge to cover
 a portion of contract administration equivalent to an annual rate of 0.10% .
 
TRUST EXPENSES
 There are fees and expenses deducted from each Series. The investment perfor-
 mance of the Series and deductions for fees and expenses from the Trusts will
 affect your accumulation value. Please read the Trust prospectuses for
 details.
 
TAX PENALTIES
The ultimate effect of Federal income taxes on the amounts held under an
annuity contract, on annuity payments and on the economic benefits to the
owner, annuitant or beneficiary depends on Golden American's tax status and
upon the tax status of the individuals concerned. In general, an owner is not
taxed on increases in value under an annuity contract until some form of
distribution is made under it. There may be tax penalties if you make a with-
drawal or surrender the contract before reaching age 59 1/2. See Federal Tax
Considerations.

PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
Performance information for the divisions of Account B, including the yield and
effective yield of the Liquid Asset Division, the yield of the remaining divi-
sions, and the total return of all divisions may appear in reports and promo-
tional literature to current or prospective owners.
 
Current yield for the Liquid Asset Division will be based on income received by
a hypothetical investment over a given 7-day period (less expenses accrued
during the period), and then "annualized" (i.e., assuming that the 7-day yield
would be received for 52 weeks, stated in terms of an annual percentage return
on the investment). "Effective yield" for the Liquid Asset Division is calcu-
lated in a manner similar to that used to calculate yield, but when annualized,
the income earned by the investment is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective
yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the compounding
effect of
earnings.
 
For the remaining divisions, quotations of yield will be based on all invest-
ment income per unit (accumulation value divided by the index of investment
experience -- see Measurement of Investment Experience, Index of Investment
Experience and Unit Value) earned during a given 30-day period, less expenses
accrued during the period ("net investment income"). Quotations of average
annual total return for any division will be expressed in terms of the average
annual compounded rate of return on a hypothetical investment in a contract
over a period of one, five, and ten years (or, if less, up to the life of the
divi- sion), and will reflect the deduction of the applicable distribution fee
and/or surrender charge, the administrative charge and the mortality and
expense risk charge. Quotations of total return may simultaneously be shown for
other periods that do not take into account certain contractual charges, such
as the distribution fee and surrender charge. Quotations of yield and average
annual total return for the Managed Global Division take into account the
period prior to September 3, 1996, during which it was maintained as a division
of Account D.
 
Performance information for a division may be compared, in reports and promo-
tional literature, to: (i) the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500"),
Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"), Donoghue Money Market Institutional
Averages, or other indices measuring performance of a pertinent group of secu-
rities so that investors may compare a division's results with those of a group
of securities widely regarded by investors as representative of the securities
markets in general; (ii) other variable annuity separate accounts or other
investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, a widely used inde-
pendent research firm which ranks mutual funds and other investment companies
by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets, or tracked by other
ratings services, including VARDS, companies, publications, or persons who rank
separate accounts or other investment products on overall performance or other
criteria; and (iii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to assess
the real rate of return from an investment in the contract. Unmanaged indices
may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deduc-
tions for administrative and management costs and expenses.
 
Performance information for any division reflects only the performance of a
hypothetical contract under which the accumulation value is allocated to a
division during a particular time period on which the calculations are based.
Performance information should be considered in light of the investment objec-
tives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the Series
of the respective Trust in which the division invests and the market conditions
during the given time period, and should not be considered as a representation
of what may be achieved in the future. For a description of the methods used to
determine yield and total return for the divisions, see the Statement of Addi-
tional Information.

 INTRODUCTION
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY AND ACCOUNT B
 
 
Reports and promotional literature may also contain other information including
the ranking of any division derived from rankings of variable annuity separate
accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services or
by rating services, companies, publications, or other persons who rank separate
accounts or other investment products on overall performance or other criteria.
The following information describes the contract and Account B. Account B
invests in mutual fund portfolios of The GCG Trust and The Equi-Select Series
Trust.

GOLDEN AMERICAN

Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American" or the "Company") is
a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Dela-
ware and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa Companies
("Equitable of Iowa"). Prior to December 30, 1993, Golden American was a Minne-
sota corporation. Prior to August 13, 1996, Golden American was a wholly owned
indirect subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company. We are authorized to do business
in all jurisdictions except New York. We offer variable annuities and variable
life insurance. Administrative services for the contract are provided at our
Customer Service Center, the address is shown on the cover. As of December 31,
1995, Golden American had stockholder's equity of approximately $98.1 million
and total assets of approximately $1.2 billion, including approximately $1.05
billion of separate account assets.
 
   
Equitable of Iowa is the holding company for Equitable Life Insurance Company
of Iowa, USG Annuity & Life Company, Locust Street Securities, Inc., Equitable
Investment Services, Inc. ("EISI"), Equitable of Iowa Securities Network, Inc.,
EIC Variable, Inc., Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), and Golden American. As of
September 30, 1996, Equitable of Iowa had over $11.9 billion in assets.
    
 
SEPARATE ACCOUNT B

All obligations under the contract are general obligations of Golden American.
Account B is a separate investment account used to support our variable annuity
contracts and for other purposes as permitted by applicable laws and regula-
tions. The assets of Account B are kept separate from our general account and
any other separate accounts we may have. We may offer other variable annuity
contracts investing in Account B which are not discussed in this prospectus.
Account B may also invest in other series which are not available to the
contract described in this prospectus.
 
We own all the assets in Account B. Income and realized and unrealized gains or
losses from assets in Account B are credited to or charged against that account
without regard to other income, gains or losses in our other investment
accounts. As required, the assets in Account B are at least equal to the
reserves and other liabilities of that account. These assets may not be charged
with liabilities from any other business we conduct.
 
They may, however, be subject to liabilities arising from divisions of Account
B whose assets are attributable to other variable annuity contracts supported
by Account B. If the assets exceed the
required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our
general account.
 
Account B was established on July 14, 1988 to invest in mutual funds, unit
investment trusts or other investment portfolios which we determine to be suit-
able for the contract's purposes. Account B is treated as a unit investment
trust under Federal securities laws. It is registered with the SEC under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an investment company. It is
governed by the laws of Delaware, our state of domicile, and may also be
governed by the laws of other states in which we do business. Registration with
the SEC does not involve any supervision by the SEC of the management or
investment policies or practices of Account B.
 
ACCOUNT B DIVISIONS

Account B is divided into divisions. The Managed Global Series was formerly the
Managed Global Account of Golden American's Separate Account D from October 12,
1992 until September 3, 1996. Currently, each division of Account B offered
under this prospectus invests in a portfolio of the GCG Trust or the ESS Trust.
DSI serves as the Manager to each Series of the GCG Trust, and EISI serves as
the Manager to each Series of the

 FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY AND ACCOUNT B (CONTINUED)
 
ESS Trust. See the Trusts' prospectuses for details. The Trusts, DSI and EISI
have retained several portfolio managers to manage the assets of each Series
as indicated below. There may be restrictions on the amount of the allocation
to certain divisions based on state laws and regulations. The investment
objectives of the various Series in the Trusts are described below. There is
no guarantee that any portfolio or Series will meet its investment objectives.
Meeting objectives depends on various factors, including, in certain cases,
how well the portfolio managers anticipate changing economic and market condi-
tions. Account B may also have other divisions investing in other series which
are not available to the contract described in this prospectus.
 
DSI and EISI provide the overall business management and administrative serv-
ices necessary for the Series' operation and provide or procure the services
and information necessary to the proper conduct of the business of the Series.
See the Trust prospectuses for details.
 
DSI is responsible for providing or procuring, at DSI's expense, the services
reasonably necessary for the ordinary operation of the Series of the GCG
Trust. DSI does not bear the expense of brokerage fees and other transactional
expenses for securities or other assets (which are generally considered part
of the cost for assets), taxes (if any) paid by a Series of the GCG Trust,
interest on borrowing, fees and expenses of the independent trustees, and
extraordinary expenses, such as litigation or indemnification expenses. See
the GCG Trust prospectus for details.

 demonstrate above-average growth rates as compared to published S&P 500 earn-
 ings projections; and (ii) The Value Component -- Securities that the port-
 folio manager regards as fundamentally undervalued, i.e., securities selling
 at a discount to asset value and securities with a relatively low price-
 /earnings ratio. The securities eligible for this component may include real
 estate stocks, such as securities of publicly-owned companies that, in the

 value.

THE GCG TRUST AND THE ESS TRUST
 
The GCG Trust is an open-end management investment company, more commonly
called a mutual fund. The GCG Trust's shares may also be available to certain
separate accounts funding variable life insurance policies offered by Golden
American. This is called "mixed funding."
 
The GCG Trust may also sell its shares to separate accounts of other insurance
companies, both affiliated and not affiliated with Golden American. This is
called "shared funding." Although we do not anticipate any inherent difficul-
ties arising from either mixed or shared funding, it is theoretically possible
that, due to differences in tax treatment or other considerations, the
interest of owners of various contracts participating in the GCG Trust might
at sometime be in conflict. After the GCG Trust receives the requisite order
from the SEC, shares of the GCG Trust may also be sold to certain qualified
pension and retirement plans. The Board of Trustees of the GCG Trust, the GCG
Trust's Manager, and we and any other insurance companies participating in the
GCG Trust are required to monitor events to identify any material conflicts
that arise from the use of the GCG Trust for mixed and/or shared funding or
between various policyowners and pension and retirement plans. For more infor-
mation about the risks of mixed and shared funding, please refer to the GCG
Trust prospectus.
 
The ESS Trust is also an open-end management investment company. Currently,
the ESS Trust's shares are not available to separate accounts of other insur-
ance companies except affiliated insurance companies such as Golden American.
It is anticipated that in the future the ESS Trust will become available to
separate accounts of unaffiliated companies as well as to separate accounts
funding variable life insurance policies offered by Golden American.

 FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY AND ACCOUNT B (CONTINUED)
 
 
You will find complete information about both the GCG Trust and the ESS Trust,
including the risks associated with each Series, in the accompanying Trust
prospectuses. You should read them carefully in conjunction with this
prospectus before investing. Additional copies of the Trust prospectuses may
be obtained by contacting our Customer Service Center.
 
CHANGES WITHIN ACCOUNT B
 
We may from time to time make additional divisions available. These divisions
will invest in investment portfolios we find suitable for the contract. We
also have the right to eliminate investment divisions from Account B, to
combine two or more divisions, or to substitute a new portfolio for the port-
folio in which a division invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in
our judgment, a portfolio no longer suits the purposes of the contract. This
may happen due to a change in laws or regulations, or a change in a portfo-
lio's investment objectives or restrictions, or because the portfolio is no
longer available for investment, or for some other reason. In addition, we
reserve the right to transfer assets of Account B, which we determine to be
associated with the class of contracts to which your contract belongs, to
another account. If necessary, we will get prior approval from the insurance
department of our state of domicile before making such a substitution or
transfer. We will also get any required approval from the SEC and any other
required approvals before making such a substitution or transfer. We will
notify you as soon as practicable of any proposed changes.
 
When permitted by law, we reserve the right to:
 
(1) deregister an Account B under the 1940 Act;
 
(2) operate an Account B as a management company under the 1940 Act if it is
    operating as a unit investment trust;
 
(3) operate an Account B as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act if it
    is operating as a managed separate account;
 
(4) restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to Account B; and
 
(5) combine Account B with other accounts.
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT
 
 
THE OWNER
 
You are the owner. You are also the annuitant unless another annuitant is
named in the application or enrollment form. You have the rights and options
described in the contract. One or more persons may own the contract.
 
Death of an owner activates the death benefit provision. In the case of a sole
owner who dies prior to the annuity commencement date, we will pay the benefi-
ciary the death benefit then due. The sole owner's estate will be the benefi-
ciary if no beneficiary designation is in effect, or if the designated benefi-
ciary has predeceased the owner. In the case of a joint owner of the contract
dying prior to the annuity commencement date, we will designate the surviving
owner(s) as the beneficiary(ies). This supersedes any previous beneficiary
designation. In the case where the owner is a trust, the beneficial owner of
the trust will be treated as the owner of the contract solely for the purpose
of activating the death benefit provision. See Contracts Owned by Non-Natural
Persons.
 
THE ANNUITANT
 
The annuitant will receive the annuity benefits of the contract if living on
the annuity commencement date. If the annuitant dies before the annuity
commencement date, and a contingent annuitant has been named, the contingent
annuitant becomes the annuitant. Once named, neither the annuitant nor the
contingent annuitant, if any, may be changed at any time.
 
If there is no contingent annuitant when the annuitant dies prior to the
annuity commencement date, we will pay the beneficiary the death benefit then
due. The beneficiary will be as provided in the beneficiary designation then
in effect. If no beneficiary designation is in effect, or if there is no
designated beneficiary living, the owner will be the beneficiary. If the annu-
itant was the sole owner and there is no beneficiary designation, the
annuitant's estate will be the beneficiary.
 
THE BENEFICIARY
 
The beneficiary is the person to whom we pay death benefit proceeds if the
annuitant (when there is no contingent annuitant) or owner dies prior to the
annuity commencement date. We pay death benefit proceeds to the primary bene-
ficiary. See Proceeds Payable to the Beneficiary.
 
If the beneficiary dies before the annuitant or owner, the death benefit
proceeds are paid to the contingent beneficiary, if any. If there is no
surviving beneficiary, we pay the death benefit proceeds to the owner (if
other than the annuitant). If the owner was the annuitant, we pay any death
benefit proceeds to the annuitant's estate.
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
One or more persons who must be individuals may be named as beneficiary or
contingent beneficiary. In the case of more than one beneficiary, we will
assume any death benefit proceeds are to be paid in equal shares to the
surviving beneficiaries. You may specify other than equal shares.
 
You have the right to change beneficiaries during the annuitant's lifetime
unless you have designated an irrevocable beneficiary. When an irrevocable
beneficiary has been designated, you and the irrevocable beneficiary must act
together to exercise the rights and options under the contract.
 
CHANGE OF OWNER OR BENEFICIARY
 
During the annuitant's lifetime and while the contract is in effect, you may
transfer ownership of the contract (if purchased in connection with a non-qual-
ified plan) subject to our published rules at the time of the change. You may
also change the beneficiary. To make either of these changes, you must send us
written notice of the change in a form satisfactory to us. The change will take
effect as of the day the notice is signed. The change will not affect any
payment made or action taken by us before recording the change at our Customer
Service Center. See Additional Considerations, Transfer of Annuity Contracts,
and Assignments.
 
AVAILABILITY OF THE CONTRACT
 
We can issue a contract if both the annuitant and the owner are not older than
age 85.
 
TYPES OF CONTRACTS
 
QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
 The contract may be issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity or in connec-
 tion with an individual retirement account. In the latter case, the contract
 will be issued without an Individual Retirement Annuity endorsement, and the
 rights of the participant under the contract will be affected by the terms
 and conditions of the particular individual retirement trust or custodial
 account, and by provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder. For
 example, the individual retirement trust or custodial account will impose
 minimum distribution rules, which require distributions to commence not later
 than April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you
 attain age 70 1/2. For both Individual Retirement Annuities and individual
 retirement accounts, the minimum initial premium is $1,500.
 
 IF THE CONTRACT IS PURCHASED TO FUND A QUALIFIED PLAN, DISTRIBUTION MUST
 COMMENCE NOT LATER THAN APRIL 1ST OF THE CALENDAR YEAR FOLLOWING THE CALENDAR
 YEAR IN WHICH YOU ATTAIN AGE 70 1/2.
 
NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
 The contract may fund any non-qualified plan. Non-qualified contracts do not
 qualify for any tax-favored treatment other than the benefits provided for by
 annuities.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO SELECT OR CHANGE CONTRACT OPTIONS
 
Before the annuity commencement date, you may change the annuity commencement
date, frequency of annuity payments or the annuity option by sending a written
request to the Customer Service Center. The annuitant named on the application
or enrollment form may not be changed at any time.
 
PREMIUMS
 
You purchase the contract with an initial premium. After the end of the free
look period, you may make additional premium payments. See Making Additional
Premium Payments. The minimum initial premium is $10,000 for a non-qualified
contract and $1,500 for a qualified contract. If your initial premium will be
$25,000 or more, we also offer DVA Series 100 through another prospectus, which
is a contract with a different charging structure.
 
We may refuse a premium payment if an initial premium or the sum of all premium
payments is more than $1,500,000. We may change the minimum initial or addi-
tional premium requirements for certain group or sponsored arrangements. See
Group or Sponsored Arrangements.
 
QUALIFIED PLANS
 For IRA contracts, the annual premium on behalf of any individual contract
 may not exceed $2,000. Provided your spouse does not make a contribution to
 an IRA, you may set up a spousal IRA even if your spouse has earned some
 compensation during the year. The maximum deductible amount for a spousal IRA
 program is the lesser of $2,250 or 100% of your compensation reduced by the
 contribution (if any) made by you for the taxable year to your own IRA.
 However, no more than $2,000 can go to either your or your spouse's IRA in
 any one year. For example, $1,750 may go to your IRA and $500 to your
 spouse's IRA. These maximums are not applicable if the premium is the result
 of a rollover from another qualified plan.

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
WHERE TO MAKE PAYMENTS
 Remit premium payments to our Customer Service Center. The address is shown
 on the cover. We will send you a confirmation notice.
 
MAKING ADDITIONAL PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
You may make additional premium payments after the end of the free look
period. We can accept additional premium payments until either the annuitant
or owner reaches the attained age of 85 under non-qualified plans. For quali-
fied plans, no contributions may be made to an IRA contract for the taxable
year in which you attain age 70 1/2 and thereafter (except for rollover
contributions). The minimum additional premium payment we will accept is $500
for a non-qualified plan and $250 for a qualified plan.
 
CREDITING PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
The initial premium will be accepted or rejected within two business days of
receipt by us of a completed application or enrollment form. We may retain the
initial premium for up to five days while attempting to complete an incomplete
application or enrollment form. If the application or enrollment form cannot
be made complete within five valuation days, the applicant or enrollee will be
informed of the reasons for the delay and the initial premium will be returned
immediately unless the applicant or enrollee specifically consents to our
retaining the initial premium until the application or enrollment form is made
complete. Thereafter, all premiums will be accepted on the day received.
 
We will accept, by agreement with broker-dealers who use wire transmittals,
transmittal of initial and additional premium payments by wire order from the
broker-dealer to the Customer Service Center. Such transmittals must be accom-
panied by a simultaneous telephone facsimile transmission containing the
essential information we require to open an account and allocate the premium
payment.
 
Premium payments accepted via wire order and accompanying facsimile transmis-
sions will be invested at the value next determined following receipt. Wire
orders not accompanied by facsimile transmissions, or accompanied by facsimile
transmissions which do not contain the essential information we require to
open an account and allocate the premium payment, may be retained for a period
not exceeding five business days while an attempt is made to obtain the
required facsimile transmission. If the required facsimile transmission cannot
be obtained within five business days, the Customer Service Center will inform
the broker-dealer, on behalf of the applicant/enrollee, of the reasons for the
delay and return the premium payment immediately to the broker-dealer for
return to the applicant/enrollee, unless the applicant/enrollee specifically
consents to allow us to retain the premium payment until the required
facsimile transmission is received by the Customer Service Center.
 
We will issue the contract; however, until we have received and accepted at
the Customer Service Center a properly completed application or enrollment
form, we reserve the right to rescind the contract. If an application or
enrollment form is not received within ten days of receipt of the initial
premium via wire order, or if an incomplete application or enrollment form is
received and cannot be completed within ten days of receipt of the initial
premium, the amount of the initial premium, with any gain, will be returned to
the broker-dealer for return to the applicant/enrollee. In no event will less
than the full amount of the initial premium be returned to the
applicant/enrollee.
 
On the date we receive and accept your initial or additional premium payment:
 
(1) We allocate the initial premium among the divisions according to your
    instructions, subject to any restrictions. See Restrictions on Allocation
    of Premium Payments. For additional premium payments, the accumulation
    value will increase by the amount of the premium. If we do not receive
    instructions from you, the increase in the accumulation value will be
    allocated among the divisions in proportion to the amount of accumulation
    value in each division as of the date we receive and accept the additional
    premium payment.
 
(2) For an initial premium, we calculate the distribution fee and any charge
    for premium taxes, if applicable. When an additional premium payment is
    made we increase any distribution fee and any charge for premium taxes, if
    applicable. These charges will be collected by us from the contract's
    accumulation value. HOWEVER, WE CURRENTLY WAIVE THE DEDUCTION OF THE
    CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES. (See Charges and Fees, Premium Taxes).
 
(3) For an initial premium, we calculate the guaranteed death benefit. When an
    additional premium payment is made we increase the guaranteed death bene-
    fit.

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
ELECTRONIC DATA TRANSMISSION OF APPLICATION INFORMATION
 In certain states, we will also accept, by agreement with broker-dealers who
 use electronic data transmissions of application information, wire
 transmittals of initial premium payments from the broker-dealer to the
 Customer Service Center for purchase of the contract. Contact the Customer
 Service Center to find out about state availability.
 
 Upon receipt of the electronic data and wire transmittal, we will open an
 account and allocate the premium payment according to the client's instruc-
 tions. Based on the information provided, we will generate an application or
 enrollment form and contract to be forwarded to the applicant/enrollee for
 signature.
 
 During the period from receipt of the initial premium until the signed appli-
 cation or enrollment form is received, the owner may not execute any finan-
 cial transactions with respect to the contract unless such transactions are
 requested in writing and signature guaranteed.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
We may require that the initial premium be allocated to the Specially Desig-
nated Division during the free look period for initial premiums received from
some states. After the free look period, if your initial premium was allocated
to the Specially Designated Division, we will transfer the accumulation value
to the divisions you previously selected based on the index of investment expe-
rience next computed for each division. See Measurement of Investment Experi-
ence, Index of Investment Experience and Unit Value.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO REALLOCATE
 
You may reallocate your accumulation value among the divisions of Account B at
the end of the free look period. You are allowed five allocation changes per
contract year without charge. There will be a charge of $25 deducted from the
accumulation value for each additional allocation change. When a reallocation
is made, we redeem shares of the Series underlying the divisions you are trans-
ferring from at their net asset value. Reinvestment is then made in shares of
the Series of the divisions you are transferring to at their net asset value.
To make a reallocation change, you must provide us with satisfactory notice at
our Customer Service Center.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON REALLOCATIONS
 Some restrictions may apply based on the free look provisions of the state
 where the contract is issued. See Your Right to Cancel or Exchange Your
 Contract.
 
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION
 
If you have at least $10,000 of accumulation value in the Limited Maturity Bond
Division or the Liquid Asset Division, you may choose to have a specified
dollar amount transferred from this division to other divisions in Account B on
a monthly basis. The main objective of dollar cost averaging is to attempt to
shield your investment from short- term price fluctuations. Since the same
dollar amount is transferred to other divisions each month, more units are
purchased in a division if the value per unit is low and less units are
purchased if the value per unit is high.
 
Therefore, a lower than average value per unit may be achieved over the long
term. This plan of investing allows investors to take advantage of market fluc-
tuations but does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining
markets. See Measurement of Investment Experience, Index of Investment Experi-
ence and Unit Value.
 
This dollar cost averaging option may be elected at the time the application or
enrollment form is completed or at a later date. The minimum amount that may be
transferred each month is $250. The maximum amount which may be transferred is
equal to the accumulation value in the Limited Maturity Bond Division or the
Liquid Asset Division when elected, divided by 12.
 
The transfer date will be the same calendar day each month as the contract
date. The dollar amount will be allocated to the divisions in which you are
invested in proportion to your accumulation value in each division unless you
specify otherwise. If, on any transfer date, the accumulation value is equal to
or less than the amount you have elected to have transferred, the entire amount
will be transferred and the option will end. You may change the transfer amount
once each contract year, or cancel this option by sending us satisfactory
notice to the Customer Service Center at least seven days before the next
transfer date. Any allocation under this option will not be included in deter-
mining if the excess allocation charge will apply.
 
WHAT HAPPENS IF A DIVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE
 
When a distribution is made from an investment portfolio supporting a division
of Account B in
 
                                       20

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
which reinvestment is not available, we will allocate the distribution, unless
you specify otherwise, to the Specially Designated Division.
 
Such a distribution can occur when (a) an investment portfolio matures, or (b)
a distribution from a portfolio or division cannot be reinvested in the port-
folio or division due to the unavailability of securities for acquisition. When
an investment portfolio matures, we will notify you in writing 30 days in
advance of that date. To elect an allocation to other than the Specially Desig-
nated Division, you must provide satisfactory notice to us at least seven days
prior to the date the portfolio matures. Such allocations are not counted as an
allocation change of the accumulation value for purposes of the number of free
allocation changes permitted. When a distribution from a portfolio or division
cannot be reinvested in the portfolio due to the unavailability of securities
for acquisition, we will notify you promptly after the allocation has occurred.
If within 30 days you allocate the accumulation value from the Specially Desig-
nated Division to other divisions of your choice, such allocations are not
counted as an allocation change of the accumulation value for purposes of the
number of free allocation changes permitted.
 
YOUR ACCUMULATION VALUE
 
Your accumulation value is the sum of the amounts in each of the divisions in
which you are invested, and is the amount available for investment at any time.
You select the divisions to which to allocate the accumulation value. We adjust
your accumulation value on each Valuation Date to reflect the divisions'
investment performance and on each contract processing date to reflect the
removal of any charges. The accumulation value is applied to your choice of an
annuity option on the annuity commencement date. See Choosing an Income Plan.
 
You may choose up to sixteen divisions and allocate your accumulation value
among them in any way you choose.
 
ACCUMULATION VALUE IN EACH DIVISION
 
ON THE CONTRACT DATE
 On the contract date, the accumulation value is allocated to each division as
 specified on the application or enrollment form, unless the contract is
 issued in a state that requires the return of premium payments during the
 free look period, in which case, your initial premium will be allocated to
 the Specially Designated Division during the free look period. See Your Right
 to Cancel or Exchange Your Contract.
 
ON EACH VALUATION DATE
 At the end of each subsequent valuation period, the amount of accumulation
 value in each division will be calculated as follows:
 
 (1) We take the accumulation value in the division at the end of the
     preceding valuation period.
 
 (2) We multiply (1) by the division's net rate of return for the current
     valuation period.
 
 (3)We add (1) and (2).
 
 (4) We add to (3) any additional premium payments allocated to the division
     during the current valuation period.
 
 (5) We add or subtract allocations to or from that division during the
     current valuation period.
 
 (6) We subtract from (5) any partial withdrawals and any associated charges
     allocated to that division during the current valuation period.
 
 (7) We subtract from (6) the amounts allocated to that division for:
 
   (a) any contract fees; and
 
   (b) any distribution fee and any charge for premium taxes. HOWEVER, WE
       CURRENTLY WAIVE THE DEDUCTION OF THE CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES. (See
       Charges and Fees, Premium Taxes.)
 
 All amounts in (7) are allocated to each division in the proportion that (6)
 bears to the accumulation value, unless the Charge Deduction Division has
 been specified.
 
MEASUREMENT OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
 
INDEX OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE AND UNIT VALUE
   
 The investment experience of a division is determined on each valuation date.
 We use an index to measure changes in each division's experience during a
 valuation period. We set the index at $10 when the first investments in a
 division are made, except for the OTC, Research, Total Return, Growth and
 Income, and Value + Growth Divisions which started with indices of $14.64,
 $16.64, $13.93, $10.94 and $12.05, respectively. The index for a current
 valuation period equals the index for the preceding valuation period multi-
 plied by the experience factor for the current valuation period.
    
 
 We may express the value of amounts allocated to the divisions in terms of
 units. We determine
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 the number of units for a given amount on a valuation date by dividing the
 dollar value of that amount by the index of investment experience for that
 date. The index of investment experience is equal to the value of a unit.
 
HOW WE DETERMINE THE
EXPERIENCE FACTOR
 For divisions of Account B the experience factor reflects the investment
 experience of the Series in which a division invests as well as the charges
 assessed against the division for a valuation period. The factor is calcu-
 lated as follows:
 
 (1) We take the net asset value of the portfolio in which the division
     invests at the end of the current valuation period.
 
 (2) We add to (1) the amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution
     declared for the investment portfolio and reinvested in such portfolio
     during the current valuation period. We subtract from that amount a
     charge for our taxes, if any.
 
 (3) We divide (2) by the net asset value of the portfolio at the end of the
     preceding valuation period.
 
 (4) We subtract the daily mortality and expense risk charge from each divi-
     sion for each day in the valuation period.
 
 (5) We subtract the daily asset based administrative charge from each divi-
     sion for each day in the valuation period.
 
 Calculations for divisions investing in a Series are made on a per share
 basis.
 
NET RATE OF RETURN FOR A DIVISION
OF ACCOUNT B
 The net rate of return for a division during a valuation period is the expe-
 rience factor for that valuation period minus one.
 
CASH SURRENDER VALUE
 
Your contract's cash surrender value fluctuates daily with the investment
results of the divisions you have selected. We do not guarantee any minimum.
On any date before the annuity commencement date while the contract is in
effect, the cash surrender value is calculated as follows:
 
(1) We take the contract's accumulation value;
 
(2) We deduct any surrender charge and any unrecovered charge for premium
    taxes. (See Charges and Fees, Premium Taxes):
 
(3) We deduct any charges incurred but not yet deducted. (See Charges and
    Fees, Administrative Charge, Excess Allocation Charge, Partial Withdrawal
    Charge).
 
SURRENDERING TO RECEIVE THE
CASH SURRENDER VALUE
 
The contract may be surrendered by the owner at any time while the annuitant
is living and before the annuity commencement date.
 
A surrender will be effective on the date your written request and the
contract are received by us at our Customer Service Center and the cash
surrender value is determined accordingly as of that date. All benefits under
the contract will then be terminated as of that date. You may receive the cash
surrender value in a single sum payment or apply it under one or more annuity
options. See The Annuity Options. We will usually pay the cash surrender value
within seven days but we may delay payment as described in the When We Make
Payments provision.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
Prior to the annuity commencement date, while the annuitant is living and the
contract is in effect, you may take partial withdrawals from the accumulation
value by sending satisfactory notice to the Customer Service Center. Unless
you specify otherwise, the amount of the withdrawal will be taken in propor-
tion to the amount of accumulation value in each division in which you are
invested.
 
There are three options available for selecting partial withdrawals, the
Conventional Partial Withdrawal Option, the Systematic Partial Withdrawal
Option and the IRA Partial Withdrawal Option. All three options are described
below. Partial withdrawals may not be repaid, and in no event may a withdrawal
amount be greater than 90% of the cash surrender value.
 
CONVENTIONAL PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION
 After the free look period, you may take a conventional partial withdrawal
 once each contract year without charge. If you take more than one conven-
 tional partial withdrawal in a contract year, we impose a charge of the
 lesser of $25 and 2.0% of the amount withdrawn. The minimum amount you may
 withdraw under this option is $1,000 and the maximum amount that may be with-
 drawn without incurring a surrender charge (assuming no systematic or IRA
 partial withdrawals are in place during that contract year) is 15% of the
 accumulation value. See Surrender Charges for Excess Partial Withdrawals,
 below.
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
SYSTEMATIC PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION
 This option may be elected at the time the application or enrollment form is
 completed, or at a later date. This option may be elected to commence in a
 contract year where a conventional partial withdrawal has been taken.
 However, it may not be elected while the IRA partial withdrawal option is in
 effect.
 
 You may choose to receive systematic partial withdrawals on a monthly or
 quarterly basis from the accumulation value in the divisions of Account B.
 The commencement of payments under this option may not be elected to start
 sooner than 28 days after the contract issue date. You select the date of the
 quarter or month when the withdrawals will be made but no later than the 28th
 day of the month. If no date is selected, the withdrawals will be made on the
 same calendar day of each month as the contract date. You may select a dollar
 amount or a percentage of the accumulation value as the amount of your with-
 drawal subject to the following maximums, but in no event can a payment be
 less than $100:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
   FREQUENCY                                                MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE
   ---------                                                ------------------
   <S>                                                      <C>
    Monthly                                                        1.25%
   Quarterly                                                       3.75%
</TABLE>
 
 If a dollar amount is selected and the amount to be systematically withdrawn
 would exceed the applicable maximum percentage of the accumulation value on
 the withdrawal date, the amount withdrawn will be reduced so that it equals
 such percentage. For example, if a $500 monthly withdrawal was elected and on
 the withdrawal date 1.25% of the accumulation value equaled $300, the with-
 drawal amount would be reduced to $300. If a percentage is selected and the
 amount to be systematically withdrawn based on that percentage would be less
 than the minimum of $100, we would increase the amount to $100 provided it
 does not exceed the maximum percentage. If it is below the maximum percentage
 we will send the minimum. If it is above the maximum percentage we will send
 the amount and then cancel the option. For example, if you selected 1.0% to
 be systematically withdrawn on a monthly basis and that amount equaled $90,
 and since $100 is less than 1.25% of the accumulation value, we would send
 $100. If 1.0% equaled $75, since $100 is more than 1.25% of the accumulation
 value we would send $75 and then cancel the option. In such a case, in order
 to receive systematic partial withdrawals in the future, you would be
 required to submit a new notice to our Customer Service Center.
 
 You may change the amount or percentage of your withdrawal once each contract
 year or cancel this option at any time by sending satisfactory notice to us
 at our Customer Service Center at least seven days prior to the next sched-
 uled withdrawal date. However, you may not change the amount or percentage of
 your withdrawals in any contract year during which you have previously taken
 a conventional partial withdrawal.
 
 There may be a surrender charge associated with a partial withdrawal in any
 contract year in which you receive systematic partial withdrawals and also
 take a conventional partial withdrawal. See Surrender Charges for Excess
 Partial Withdrawals, below.
 
IRA PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION
 If you have an IRA contract and will attain age 70 1/2 in the current
 calendar year, distributions will be made to you to satisfy requirements
 imposed by Federal tax law. IRA partial withdrawals provide payout of amounts
 required to be distributed by the Internal Revenue Service rules governing
 mandatory distributions under qualified plans. See Federal Tax Considera-
 tions, Taxation of Individual Retirement Annuities. We will send you a notice
 before your distributions must commence, and you may elect this option at
 that time, or at a later date. You may not elect IRA partial withdrawals
 while the systematic partial withdrawal option is in effect. If you do not
 elect the IRA partial withdrawal option, and distributions are required by
 Federal tax law, distributions adequate to satisfy the requirements imposed
 by Federal tax law will be made. Thus, if the systematic partial withdrawal
 option is in effect, distribution under that option must be adequate to
 satisfy the mandatory distribution rules imposed by Federal tax law.
 
 You may choose to receive IRA partial withdrawals on a monthly, quarterly or
 annual frequency. You select the day of the month when the withdrawals will
 be made, but it cannot be later than the 28th day of the month. If no date is
 selected, the withdrawals will be made on the same calendar day of the month
 as the contract date.
 
 We will determine the amount that is required to be withdrawn from your
 contract each year based on the information you give us and various choices
 you make. For information regarding the calculation and choices you have to
 make, see the Statement of Additional Information. The minimum dollar amount
 you can
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 withdraw is $100. At the time we determine the required partial withdrawal
 amount for a taxable year based on the frequency you select, if that amount
 is less than $100, we will pay $100. At any time where the partial withdrawal
 amount is greater than the accumulation value, we will cancel the contract
 and send you the amount of the cash surrender value.
 
 You may change the payment frequency of your withdrawals once each contract
 year or cancel this option at any time by sending us satisfactory notice to
 our Customer Service Center at least seven days prior to the next scheduled
 withdrawal date.
 
 There may be a surrender charge associated with a partial withdrawal in any
 contract year during which you receive IRA partial withdrawals and take a
 conventional partial withdrawal. See Surrender Charges for Excess Partial
 Withdrawals, below.
 
SURRENDER CHARGES FOR EXCESS PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 An excess partial withdrawal is the amount by which annualized partial with-
 drawals for a contract year exceed 15% of the accumulation value on the date
 of the withdrawal. Any partial withdrawal and any combination of partial
 withdrawals either taken during a contract year or expected to be received in
 a contract year will be taken into account in determining the amount of the
 excess partial withdrawal. An excess partial withdrawal will be considered a
 partial surrender of the contract and we will impose a surrender charge
 applicable to the accumulation value. Such amount will be deducted from the
 accumulation value in proportion to the accumulation value in each division
 from which the excess partial withdrawal was taken.
 
 An excess partial withdrawal will result in the imposition of a surrender
 charge and a corresponding reduction in the remaining surrender charge that
 subsequently can be imposed under the contract. For example the following
 assumes a conventional partial withdrawal of $17,200 is taken at the begin-
 ning of the fourth contract year. A contract with a current surrender charge
 of $3,000 (an initial surrender charge of $6,000 reducing at the rate of
 $1,000 per contract year for six years), has an accumulation value of
 $100,000.
 
 In this example, $15,000 (15% of accumulation value) may be withdrawn during
 the contract year without the imposition of a surrender charge. The excess
 partial withdrawal is the amount by which the withdrawal is in excess of the
 maximum ($17,200 - $15,000 = $2,200). The excess is calculated as a
 percentage of the accumulation value ($2,200/$100,000  = .022). Applying this
 percentage to the current amount of the surrender charge ($3,000 X .022 =
 $66) determines the amount to be deducted from the accumulation value as of
 the date of the withdrawal.
 
 If the contract were surrendered following the partial withdrawal, the
 surrender charge would be $2,934 ($3,000 - $66). If instead, the contract
 were surrendered at the beginning of the fifth year assuming no further
 partial withdrawals, the surrender charge would be $1,934 ($2,000 - $66).
 
 Contracts with a contract date prior to May 3, 1993 and the prospectus deliv-
 ered in connection with such contracts, described this provision as accelera-
 tion of recovery of deferred loading, which is the functional equivalent of
 the assessment of a surrender charge for excess partial withdrawals. Limited
 Edition contracts purchased through Golden American Separate Account D and
 the prospectus delivered in connection with such contracts also described
 this provision as acceleration of recovery of deferred loading.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS IN GENERAL
 CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH
 TAKING PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. A partial withdrawal made before the taxpayer
 reaches age 59 1/2 may result in imposition of a tax penalty of 10% of the
 taxable portion withdrawn. Please refer to Federal Tax Considerations for
 more details.
 
PROCEEDS PAYABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY
If either the annuitant (when there is no contingent annuitant) or owner dies
prior to the annuity commencement date, we will pay the beneficiary the death
benefit proceeds under the contract. Such amount may be received in a single
sum or applied to any of the annuity options. See The Annuity Options. If we do
not receive a request to apply the death benefit proceeds to an annuity option,
a single sum distribution will be made. We may reduce the death benefit
proceeds payable under certain group or sponsored arrangements. See Group or
Sponsored Arrangements.
 
If the annuitant and owner are both age 75 or younger at issue (age 80 or
younger for contracts

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
with a contract date before November 6, 1992) the death benefit is the greater
of the accumulation value and the guaranteed death benefit.
 
MAXIMUM GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT
 This amount is calculated as follows:
 
 (1)We determine the total premiums paid;
 
 (2)We multiply (1) by two;
 
 (3) We determine the total partial withdrawals taken; and
 
 (4) We subtract (3) from (2).
 
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT
 On the contract date the guaranteed death benefit is equal to the initial
 premium. On subsequent valuation dates, the guaranteed death benefit is
 calculated as follows:
 
 (1) We take the guaranteed death benefit from the prior valuation date;
 
 (2) We calculate interest on (1) for the current valuation period at an
     annual rate of 7% (the guaranteed death benefit interest rate), except
     that with respect to amounts in the Liquid Asset Division, the interest
     rate applied to such amounts will be the net rate of return for the
     Liquid Asset Division during the current valuation period, if it is less
     than 7%; (Under contracts with a contract date before November 6, 1992,
     the 7% test for the Liquid Asset Division does not apply.);
 
 (3) We add (1) and (2);
 
 (4) We add to (3) any additional premiums paid during the current valuation
     period; and,
 
 (5) We subtract from (4) any partial withdrawals made during the current
     valuation period.
 
 If (5) is greater than the maximum guaranteed death benefit, we will pay
 the maximum guaranteed death benefit.
 
 If the annuitant or owner is age 76 or older at issue (age 81 or older for
 contracts with a contract date before November 6, 1992), the death benefit is
 the greater of:
 
 (1) The cash surrender value; and
 
 (2) The sum of the premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals.
 
DEATH BENEFIT FOR CONTRACTS PURCHASED IN NORTH CAROLINA WITH A CONTRACT DATE
BEFORE NOVEMBER 6, 1992
 If the annuitant and owner are both age 80 or younger at issue the death
 benefit is the greater of:
 
 (1) The accumulation value; and
 
 (2) The sum of the premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals.
 
 If the annuitant or owner is age 81 or older at issue, the death benefit is
 the greater of:
 
 (1) The cash surrender value; and
 
 (2) The sum of the premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals.
 
HOW TO CLAIM PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIARY
 We must receive due proof of the death of the annuitant or owner (such as an
 official death certificate) at our Customer Service Center before we will
 make any payments to the beneficiary. We will calculate the death benefit as
 of the date we receive due proof of death. The beneficiary should contact our
 Customer Service Center for instructions.
 
REPORTS TO OWNERS
We will send you a report once each contract quarter within 31 days after the
end of each contract quarter. The report will show the accumulation value, the
cash surrender value, and the death benefit as of the end of the contract
quarter.
 
The report will also show the allocation of the accumulation value as of such
date and the amounts deducted from or added to the accumulation value since
the last report. The report will also include any other information that may
be currently required by the insurance supervisory official of the jurisdic-
tion in which the contract is delivered. We will also send you copies of any
shareholder reports of the portfolios or securities in which Account B
invests, as well as any other reports, notices or documents required by law to
be furnished to contract owners.
 
WHEN WE MAKE PAYMENTS
We will pay death benefit proceeds and the cash surrender value within seven
days after our Customer Service Center receives all the information needed to
process the payment.
 
However, we may delay payment of amounts derived from the divisions if it is
not practical for us to value or dispose of shares of Account B because:
 
(1)The NYSE is closed for trading;
 
(2) The SEC determines that a state of emergency exists;
 
(3) An order or pronouncement of the SEC permits a delay for the protection of
    contract owners; or,

(4) The check used to pay the premium has not cleared through the banking
    system. This may take up to 15 days.
 
During such times, as to amounts allocated to the divisions, we may delay:
 
(1) Determination and payment of any cash surrender value;
 
(2) Determination and payment of any death benefit if death occurs before the
    annuity commencement date;
 
(3) Allocation changes of the accumulation value; or,
 
(4) Application under an annuity option of the accumulation value.
 
 CHARGES AND FEES
 
 
CHARGE DEDUCTION DIVISION
You may specify on the application or enrollment form if you wish to use the
Charge Deduction Division Option. If you so specify, all charges against the
accumulation value will be deducted from the Liquid Asset Division. If the
amount of the charge is greater than the amount in the division, the charge
will be deducted proportionately from all the divisions in which you are
invested. You may also choose to elect or cancel this option while the contract
is in force by sending us satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center.
If you do not elect this option, the charges will be deducted proportionately
from all the divisions in which you are invested.
 
CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM THE ACCUMULATION VALUE
We invest the entire amount of the initial and any additional premium payments
in the divisions you select, subject to certain restrictions. See Restrictions
on Allocation of Premium Payments. We then periodically deduct certain amounts
from your accumulation value. We may reduce certain fees and charges, including
any distribution fees, surrender, administration, and mortality and expense
risk charges, under group or sponsored arrangements. See Group or Sponsored
Arrangements. Charges are deducted proportionately from all divisions in which
you are invested, unless you have elected the Charge Deduction Division. The
charges we deduct are:
 
DISTRIBUTION FEE
 We deduct a sales load in an annual amount of 1.00% of each premium at the
 end of each contract processing period for a period of six years from the
 date we receive and accept each premium payment.
 
SURRENDER CHARGE
 A surrender charge is imposed as a percentage of premium if the contract is
 surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken during the six year
 period from the date we receive and accept each premium payment. The
 percentage imposed at the time of surrender or excess partial withdrawal
 depends on the distribution fee collected to the time the contract is surren-
 dered or the excess partial withdrawal is taken. The surrender charge in the
 first contract year is 6.00% and reduces by 1.00% each year during the six
 year period from the date we receive and accept each premium payment.
 
 Contracts with a contract date prior to May 3, 1993 and the prospectus deliv-
 ered in connection with such contracts, described the sales load as a
 deferred load, which is equivalent to the combination of the distribution fee
 and surrender charge described above. Limited Edition contracts purchased
 through Golden American Separate Account D and the prospectus delivered in
 connection with such contracts also described the sales load as a deferred
 load.
 
 If your initial premium will be $25,000 or more, we also offer DVA Series 100
 through another prospectus, which is a contract with a different charging
 structure.
 
PREMIUM TAXES
 We make a charge for state and local premium taxes in certain states which
 can range from 0% to 3.5% of premium. The charge depends on the annuitant's
 or owner's state of residence, as applicable. We reserve the right to change
 this amount to conform with changes in the law or if the annuitant changes
 state of residence.
 
 Premium taxes are generally incurred on the annuity commencement date and a
 charge for such premium taxes is then deducted from your accumulation value
 on such date. However, some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time
 the initial and additional premiums are paid, regardless of the annuity
 commencement date. In those states we initially advance the amount of the
 charge for premium taxes to your accumulation value and then deduct it in
 equal installments on each contract processing date over a six year period.
 
 CURRENTLY, IN THOSE STATES WHERE WE ADVANCE THE CHARGE FOR
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
 
 CHARGES AND FEES (CONTINUED)
 
 PREMIUM TAXES, WE WILL WAIVE THE DEDUCTION OF THE APPLICABLE INSTALLMENTS OF
 THE CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES ON EACH CONTRACT PROCESSING DATE. HOWEVER, WE
 WILL DEDUCT THE UNRECOVERED CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES (NOT INCLUDING INSTALL-
 MENTS WHICH WERE WAIVED) WHEN DETERMINING THE CASH SURRENDER VALUE PAYABLE IF
 YOU SURRENDER YOUR CONTRACT. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT THE TOTAL AMOUNT
 OF THE CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES PREVIOUSLY WAIVED AND UNRECOVERED ON THE
 ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE.
 
 In those cases when we advance the charge for premium taxes, since the charge
 for premium taxes is advanced to the accumulation value, a positive net rate
 of return will give a higher cash surrender value and a negative net rate of
 return will give a lower cash surrender value than would be the case had the
 charge for premium taxes been deducted from your premium payment.
 
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 The administrative charge is incurred at the beginning of the contract
 processing period and deducted at the end of each contract processing period.
 We deduct this charge when determining the cash surrender value payable if
 you surrender the contract prior to the end of a contract processing period.
 The amount deducted is $40 per contract year if total premiums paid in the
 first contract year are less than $100,000. If the total premium paid in the
 first contract year equals $100,000 or more, the charge is zero. This charge
 is to cover a portion of our administrative expenses. See Asset Based Admin-
 istrative Charge, below.
 
EXCESS ALLOCATION CHARGE
 We allow you five free allocation changes between divisions per contract
 year. For each additional allocation change, we will charge you $25 at the
 time each allocation change is processed. This amount represents the maximum
 we will charge. The charge is deducted from the division(s) from which each
 such reallocation is made in proportion to the amount being transferred from
 each such division unless you have chosen to use the Charge Deduction Divi-
 sion. The excess allocation charge is set at a level that is not designed to
 produce profit for Golden American or any affiliate. Any allocation(s) or
 transfer(s) due to the election of the Dollar Cost Averaging Option and real-
 location under the provision What Happens if a Division is Not Available will
 not be included in determining if the excess allocation charge should apply.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
 If you take more than one conventional partial withdrawal during a contract
 year, we impose a charge of the lesser of $25 and 2.0% of the amount with-
 drawn for each additional conventional partial withdrawal. The charge is
 deducted from the division(s) from which each such partial withdrawal is made
 in proportion to the amount being withdrawn from each division unless you
 have chosen to use the Charge Deduction Division. See Partial Withdrawals,
 Conventional Partial Withdrawal Option.
 
CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM THE DIVISIONS
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 The daily charge is at the rate of 0.002477% (equivalent to an annual rate of
 0.90%) on the assets in each division. Approximately 0.575% of this annual
 charge is allocated to the mortality risk and 0.325% is allocated to the
 expense risk.
 
 This charge will compensate us for mortality and expense risks we assume
 under the contract. We will realize a gain from this charge to the extent it
 is not needed to provide for benefits and expenses under the contract. We
 will use any gain for any lawful purpose including any shortfalls on paying
 distribution expenses.
 
 The mortality risk assumed is the risk that annuitants as a group will live
 for a longer time than our actuarial tables predict. As a result, we would be
 paying more in annuity income than we planned. Golden American also assumes a
 risk under the contract for paying a guaranteed death benefit.
 
 The expense risk assumed is the risk that it will cost us more to issue and
 administer the contract than we expect.
 
ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 We will deduct a daily charge from the assets in each division of the
 Accounts, to compensate Golden American for a portion of the administrative
 expenses under the contract. The daily charge is at a rate of 0.000276%
 (equivalent to an annual rate of 0.10%) on the assets in each division.
 
 This asset based administrative charge plus the administrative charge above
 will not exceed the cost of the services to be provided over the life of the
 contract.

TRUST EXPENSES
There are fees and charges deducted from each Series of the GCG Trust and the
ESS Trust. Please read the respective Trust prospectus for details.
 
 CHOOSING AN INCOME PLAN
 
 
THE INCOME PLAN
If the annuitant and owner are living on the annuity commencement date, we
will begin making payments to the annuitant under an income plan. We will make
these payments under the annuity option chosen in the application or enroll-
ment form or as subsequently changed. You may change an annuity option by
making a written request to us at least 30 days prior to the annuity commence-
ment date of the contract. The amount of the payments will be determined by
applying the accumulation value on the annuity commencement date in accordance
with The Annuity Options section below. See When We Make Payments.
 
You may also elect an annuity option on surrender of the contract for its cash
surrender value or, you may choose one or more annuity options for the payment
of death benefit proceeds while it is in effect and before the annuity
commencement date. If, at the time of the annuitant's or owner's death, no
option has been chosen for paying death benefit proceeds, the beneficiary may
choose an option within one year.
 
The minimum monthly annuity income payment that we will make is $20. We may
require that a single sum payment be made if the accumulation value is less
than $2,000 or if the calculated monthly annuity income payment is less than
$20.
 
For each option we will issue a separate written agreement putting the option
into effect. Before we pay any annuity benefits, we require the return of the
contract. If your contract has been lost, we will require that you complete
and return the applicable lost contract form. Various factors will affect the
level of annuity benefits including the annuity option chosen, the assumed
interest rate used and the investment results of the division(s) in which the
accumulation value has been invested.
 
Fixed annuity payments are regular payments, the amount of which is fixed and
guaranteed by us. The amount of the payments will depend only on the form and
duration of payments chosen, the age of the annuitant or beneficiary (and sex,
where appropriate), the total accumulation value applied to purchase the fixed
option, and the applicable payment rate.
 
Our approval is needed for any option where:
 
(1) The person named to receive payment is other than the owner or benefi-
    ciary;
 
(2) The person named is not a natural person, such as a corporation; or
 
(3) Any income payment would be less than the minimum annuity income payment
    allowed.
 
ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE SELECTION
You select the annuity commencement date in the application or enrollment
form. You may select any date following the third contract anniversary but
before the contract processing date in the month following the annuitant's
90th birthday. If you do not select a date, the annuity commencement date will
be in the month following the annuitant's 90th birthday. However, in the state
of Pennsylvania the annuity commencement date may not be later than in the
month following the annuitant's 85th birthday for annuitants with an issue age
of 80 and under. For contracts with contract dates before May 3, 1993,
different annuity commencement date limitations may apply. If the annuity
commencement date occurs when the annuitant is at an advanced age, such as
over age 85, it is possible that the contract will not be considered an
annuity for Federal tax purposes. See Federal Tax Considerations. For a
contract purchased in connection with a qualified plan, distribution must
commence not later than April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar
year in which you attain age 70 1/2. Consult your tax advisor.
 
FREQUENCY SELECTION
You choose the frequency of the annuity payments. They may be monthly, quar-
terly, semi-annually or annually. If we do not receive written notice from
you, the payments will be made monthly. There may be certain restrictions on
minimum payments that we will allow.
 
THE ANNUITY OPTIONS
There are four options to choose from as shown below. Options 1 through 3 are
fixed and option 4 is variable. For a fixed option, the accumulation value is
transferred to the general account.
 
OPTION 1. INCOME FOR A FIXED PERIOD
 Payment is made in equal installments for a fixed number of years based on
 the accumulation value as of the annuity commencement date. We
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
 CHOOSING AN INCOME PLAN (CONTINUED)
 
 guarantee that each monthly payment will be at least the amount set forth in
 the contract. Guaranteed amounts for annual, semi-annual and quarterly
 payments are available upon request. Illustrations are available upon
 request. If the cash surrender value or accumulation value is applied under
 this option, a 10% penalty tax may apply to the taxable portion of each
 income payment until the annuitant reaches age 59 1/2.
 
OPTION 2. INCOME FOR LIFE
 Payment is made in equal monthly installments and guaranteed for at least a
 period certain. The period certain can be 10 or 20 years. Other periods
 certain are available on request. A refund certain may be chosen instead.
 Under this arrangement, income is guaranteed until payments equal the amount
 applied. If the person named lives beyond the guaranteed period, payments
 continue until his or her death. We guarantee that each payment will be at
 least the amount set forth in the contract corresponding to the person's age
 on his or her last birthday before the option's effective date. Amounts for
 ages not shown in the contract are available upon request.
 
OPTION 3. JOINT LIFE INCOME
 This option is available if there are two persons named to receive payments.
 At least one of the persons named must be either the owner or beneficiary of
 the contract. Monthly payments are guaranteed and are made as long as at
 least one of the named persons is living. There is no minimum number of
 payments. Monthly payment amounts are available upon request.
 
OPTION 4. ANNUITY PLAN
 An amount can be used to buy any single premium annuity we offer on the
 option's effective date.
 
PAYMENT WHEN NAMED PERSON DIES
When the person named to receive payment dies, we will pay any amounts still
due as provided by the option agreement. The amounts still due are determined
as follows:
 
(1) For options 1, 2, or any remaining guaranteed payments, payments will be
    continued. Under options 1 and 2, the discounted values of the remaining
    guaranteed payments may be paid in a single sum. This means we deduct the
    amount of the interest each remaining guaranteed payment would have earned
    had it not been paid out early. The discount interest rate is 3% for
    option 1 and 3.50% for option 2 per year. We will however, base the
    discount interest rate on the interest rate used to calculate the payments
    for options 1 and 2 if such payments were not based on the tables in the
    contract.
 
(2) For option 3, no amounts are payable after both named persons have died.
 
(3) For option 4, the annuity agreement will state the amount due, if any.

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS
 
IN CASE OF ERRORS ON THE APPLICATION OR ENROLLMENT FORM
 If an age or sex given in the application or enrollment form is misstated,
 the amounts payable or benefits provided by the contract shall be those that
 the premium payment would have bought at the correct age or sex.
 
SENDING NOTICE TO US
 Any written notices, inquiries or requests should be sent to our Customer
 Service Center. Please include your name, your contract number and, if you
 are not the annuitant, the name of the
 annuitant.
 
ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT AS COLLATERAL
 You may assign a non-qualified contract as collateral security for a loan or
 other obligation. This does not change the ownership. However, your rights
 and any beneficiary's rights are subject to the terms of the assignment. See
 Additional Considerations, Transfer of Annuity Contracts, and Assignments. An
 assignment may have Federal tax consequences. See Federal Tax Considerations.
 
 You must give us satisfactory written notice at our Customer Service Center
 in order to make or release an assignment. We are not responsible for the
 validity of any assignment.
 
NON-PARTICIPATING
 The contract does not participate in the divisible surplus of Golden Ameri-
 can.
 
AUTHORITY TO MAKE AGREEMENTS
 All agreements made by us must be signed by our president or a vice president
 and by our secretary or an assistant secretary. No other person, including an
 insurance agent or broker, can change any of the contract's terms, make any
 agreements binding on us or extend the time for premium payments.
 
CONTRACT CHANGES -- APPLICABLE TAX LAW
We reserve the right to make changes in the contract to the extent we deem it
necessary to
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
 OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
 
continue to qualify the contract as an annuity. Any such changes will apply
uniformly to all contracts that are affected. You will be given advance written
notice of such changes.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL OR EXCHANGE YOUR CONTRACT
 
CANCELLING YOUR CONTRACT
 You may cancel your contract within your free look period, which is ten days
 after you receive your contract. For purposes of administering our allocation
 and administrative rules, we deem this period to expire 15 days after the
 contract is mailed to you. Some states may require a longer free look period.
 If you decide to cancel, you may mail or deliver the contract to us at our
 Customer Service Center. We will refund the accumulation value plus any
 charges we deducted, and the contract will be voided as of the date we
 receive the contract and your request. Some states require that we return the
 premium paid. In these states, we require that your premium be allocated to
 the Specially Designated Division during the free look period. If you exer-
 cise your right to cancel, we will return the greater of (a) the premium
 invested and (b) the accumulation value of your contract plus any amounts
 deducted under the contract or by the Trust for taxes, charges or fees. If
 you do not choose to exercise your right to cancel during the free look
 period, then at the end of the free look period your money will be invested
 in the division(s) chosen by you, based on the index of investment experience
 next computed for each division. See Measurement of Investment Experience,
 Index of Experience and Unit Value.
 
EXCHANGING YOUR CONTRACT
   
 For information regarding exchanges under Section 1035, of the Internal
 Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, see Federal Tax Considerations.
    
 
OTHER CONTRACT CHANGES
You may change the contract to another annuity plan subject to our rules at the
time of the change.
 
GROUP OR SPONSORED ARRANGEMENTS
For certain group or sponsored arrangements, we may reduce any distribution
fee, surrender, administration, and mortality and expense risk charges. We may
also change the minimum initial and additional premium requirements, or reduce
the death benefit proceeds payable. Group arrangements include those in which a
trustee or an employer, for example, purchases contracts covering a group of
individuals on a group basis. Sponsored arrangements include those in which an
employer allows us to sell contracts to its employees on an individual basis.
 
Our costs for sales, administration, and mortality generally vary with the size
and stability of the group among other factors. We take all these factors into
account when reducing charges. To qualify for reduced charges, a group or spon-
sored arrangement must meet certain requirements, including our requirements
for size and number of years in existence. Group or sponsored arrangements that
have been set up solely to buy contracts or that have been in existence less
than six months will not qualify for reduced charges.
 
We will make these and any similar reductions according to our rules in effect
when an application or enrollment form for a contract is approved. We may
change these rules from time to time. Any variation in the distribution fee or
administrative charge will reflect differences in costs or services and will
not be unfairly discriminatory.
 
SELLING THE CONTRACT
DSI is also principal underwriter and distributor of the contract as well as
for other contracts issued through Account B and other separate accounts of
Golden American. We pay DSI for acting as principal underwriter under a distri-
bution agreement. The offering of the contract will be continuous.
 
DSI has entered into and will continue to enter into sales agreements with
broker-dealers to solicit for the sale of the contract through registered
representatives who are licensed to sell securities and variable insurance
products including variable annuities. These agreements provide that applica-
tions for contracts may be solicited by registered representatives of the
broker-dealers appointed by Golden American to sell its variable life insurance
and variable annuities. These broker-dealers are registered with the SEC and
are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
The registered representatives are authorized under applicable state regula-
tions to sell variable life insurance and variable annuities. The writing agent
will receive commissions of up to 6% of any initial or additional premium
payments made.
 
REINSURANCE
Golden American reinsures its mortality risk associated with one or more appro-
priately licensed insurance companies. Golden American also, effective June 1,
1994, entered into a reinsurance

agreement on a modified coinsurance basis with an affiliate of a broker-dealer
which distributes Golden American's products with respect to 25% of the busi-
ness produced by that broker-dealer.
 
 REGULATORY INFORMATION
 
 
VOTING RIGHTS
We will vote the shares of the Trusts owned by Account B according to your
instructions. However, if the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any related
regulations should change, or if interpretations of it or related regulations
should change, and we decide that we are permitted to vote the shares of the
Trusts in our own right, we may decide to do so.
 
We determine the number of shares that you have in a division by dividing the
contract's accumulation value in that division by the net asset value of one
share of the portfolio in which a division invests. Fractional votes will be
counted. We will determine the number of shares you can instruct us to vote
180 days or less before a Trust's meeting. We will ask you for voting instruc-
tions by mail at least 10 days before the meeting.
 
If we do not get your instructions in time, we will vote the shares in the
same proportion as the instructions received from all contracts in that divi-
sion. We will also vote shares we hold in Account B which are not attributable
to owners in the same proportion.

 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
 
INTRODUCTION
The contract is designed for use by individuals or groups in retirement plans
which are qualified under Section 408 or non-qualified under the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The ultimate
effect of Federal income taxes on the amounts paid for the contract, on the
investment return on assets held under the contract, on annuity payments and
on the economic benefits to the owner, annuitant or beneficiary depends upon
the terms of the contract, upon Golden American's tax status and upon the tax
status of the individuals concerned.
 
The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax
advice. Each person concerned should consult a competent tax advisor. No
attempt is made to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. Moreover,
the discussion is based upon Golden American's understanding of the Federal
income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. No representation is made
regarding the likelihood of continuation of the Federal income tax laws, the
Treasury Regulations, or the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS"). For a discussion of Federal

 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
income taxes as they relate to the Trusts, please see the accompanying
prospectus for the respective Trust.
 
GOLDEN AMERICAN TAX STATUS
Golden American is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of Subchapter
L of the Code. Since Account B is not a separate entity from Golden American
and its operations form a part of Golden American, it will not be taxed sepa-
rately as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code.
Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of Account B are
reinvested and taken into account in determining the accumulation value. Under
existing Federal income tax law, Golden American does not incur tax on Account
B's investment income, including realized net capital gains. Golden American
reserves the right to make a deduction for taxes should they be imposed with
respect to such items in the future.
 
TAXATION OF NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITIES
 
1. IN GENERAL
 Code (S)72 generally governs the taxation of non-qualified annuities. Under
 this provision, except as described below, any increase in the contract's
 value is generally not taxable to the owner until a distribution is made from
 the contract, either in the form of annuity payments as contemplated by the
 contract, or in some other form of distribution. (For purposes of this rule,
 the amount of any indebtedness that is secured by a pledge or assignment of
 the contract is treated as a payment received on account of a partial with-
 drawal from the contract.) However, this rule applies only if (1) the invest-
 ments of Account B are "adequately diversified" in accordance with Treasury
 Department regulations, (2) Golden American, rather than the owner, is
 considered the owner of the assets of Account B for Federal income tax
 purposes, and (3) the owner is an individual.
 
 Diversification Requirements. Treasury Department regulations ("Regulations")
 issued under Code (S)817 (h) prescribe the manner in which the investments of
 a segregated asset account, such as Account B, are to be "adequately diversi-
 fied." The Regulations generally require that on the last day of each quarter
 of a calendar year (i) no more than 55% of the value of each segregated asset
 account is represented by any one investment; (ii) no more than 70% is repre-
 sented by any two investments; (iii) no more than 80% is represented by any
 three investments; and (iv) no more than 90% is represented by any four
 investments. For purposes of complying with these requirements, all securi-
 ties of the same issuer are treated as a single investment, and each U.S.
 government agency or instrumentality will be treated as a separate issuer. In
 addition, where a segregated asset account invests in other regulated invest-
 ment companies or certain other entities (e.g., the divisions of Account B
 do), a "look-through" rule applies and, as a result, each division of an
 account must be tested for compliance with the percentage limitations by
 looking through to the assets of that division.
 
 If Account B failed to comply with these diversification standards, the
 contract would not be treated as an annuity contract for Federal income tax
 purposes and the owner would generally be taxable currently on the income on
 the contract (as defined in the tax law) beginning with the first period of
 non-diversification. Golden American expects that Account B, including each
 of the divisions, will comply with the diversification requirements
 prescribed by the Regulations.
 
 Ownership Treatment. In certain circumstances, variable annuity contract
 owners may be considered the owners, for Federal income tax purposes, of the
 assets of the segregated asset account, such as Account B, used to support
 their contracts. In those circumstances, income and gains from the segregated
 asset account would be includible in the contract owners' gross income. The
 IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be
 considered the owner of the assets of the segregated asset account if the
 owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability
 to exercise investment control over the assets. In addition, the Treasury
 Department announced, in connection with the issuance of regulations
 concerning investment diversification, that those regulations "do not provide
 guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of the
 investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor, rather than
 the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the
 account." This announcement also stated that guidance would be issued by way
 of regulations or rulings on the "extent to which policyholders may direct
 their investments to particular sub-accounts [of a segregated asset account]
 without being treated as owners of the underlying assets." As of the date of
 this prospectus, no such guidance has been issued.
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
 
 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 
 The ownership rights under the contract are similar to, but different in
 certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
 determined that contract owners were not owners of the assets of a segregated
 asset account. For example, the owner of this contract has the choice of more
 investment options to which to allocate premium payments and accumulation
 values, and may be able to transfer among investment options more frequently,
 than in such rulings. In addition, the owner of this contract has the choice
 of certain investment options which may be more similar to each other in
 their investment objectives than in such rulings. These differences could
 result in the owner being treated as the owner of a portion of the assets of
 Account B. In addition, Golden American does not know what standards will be
 set forth in the regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department has
 stated it expects to issue. Golden American therefore reserves the right to
 modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent contract owners from
 being considered the owners of the assets of Account B.
 
 Frequently, if the IRS or the Treasury Department sets forth a new position
 which is adverse to taxpayers, the position is applied on a prospective basis
 only. Thus, if the IRS or the Treasury Department were to issue regulations
 or a ruling which treated an owner of this contract as the owner of Account
 B, that treatment might apply on a prospective basis. However, if the ruling
 or regulations were not considered to set forth a new position, an owner
 might retroactively be determined to be the owner of the assets of Account B.
 
 Non-Natural Owner. As a general rule, contracts held by "non-natural persons"
 such as a corporation, trust or other similar entity, as opposed to a natural
 person, are not treated as annuity contracts for Federal tax purposes. The
 income on such contracts (as defined in the tax law) is taxed as ordinary
 income that is received or accrued by the owner of the contract during the
 taxable year. There are several exceptions to this general rule for non-
 natural owners. First, contracts will generally be treated as held by a
 natural person if the nominal owner is a trust or other entity which holds
 the contract as an agent for a natural person. However, this special excep-
 tion will not apply in the case of any employer who is the nominal owner of a
 contract under a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its
 employees.
 
 In addition, exceptions to the general rule for non-natural owners will apply
 with respect to (1) contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent by reason
 of the death of the decedent, (2) contracts issued in connection with certain
 qualified plans, (3) contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of
 certain qualified plans, (4) certain contracts used in connection with struc-
 tured settlement agreements, and (5) contracts purchased with a single
 purchase payment when the annuity starting date is no later than a year from
 purchase of the contract and substantially equal periodic payments are made,
 not less frequently than annually, during the annuity period.
 
 In addition to the foregoing, if the contract's annuity commencement date
 occurs at a time when the annuitant is at an advanced age, such as over age
 85, it is possible that the owner will be taxable currently on the annual
 increase in the accumulation value. The remainder of this discussion assumes
 that the contract will be treated as an annuity contract for Federal income
 tax purposes.
 
2. WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
 Code (S)72 provides that the proceeds of a total surrender of a contract
 prior to the annuity commencement date will be taxed to the extent that the
 amount distributed exceeds the "investment in the contract" and that any
 conventional or systematic partial withdrawal from a contract prior to the
 annuity commencement date will be treated as taxable income to the extent the
 amount held under the contract immediately before the withdrawal occurs
 exceeds the "investment in the contract." The "investment in the contract" is
 defined in the Code as that portion, if any, of premium payments by or on
 behalf of an individual under a contract which was not excluded from the
 individual's gross income at the time of such payment less any amounts previ-
 ously received under the contract which were excluded from the individual's
 gross income at the time of their receipt. The taxable portion of any distri-
 bution received prior to the annuity commencement date will be subject to tax
 at ordinary income tax rates. For purposes of this rule, a pledge or assign-
 ment of a contract is treated as a payment received on account of a partial
 withdrawal of a contract.
 
 In the case of systematic partial withdrawals, the amount of each withdrawal
 should be considered as a distribution and taxed in the same
 
                                      33
<PAGE>
 
 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 manner as a partial withdrawal prior to the annuity commencement date, as
 described above. However, there is some uncertainty regarding the tax treat-
 ment of systematic partial withdrawals, and it is possible that additional
 amounts may be includible in income.
 
 In addition, the contract provides a death benefit that in certain circum-
 stances may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the accumulation
 value. As described elsewhere in this prospectus, Golden American imposes
 certain charges with respect to, among other things, the death benefit. It is
 possible that some portion of those charges could be treated for Federal tax
 purposes as a partial withdrawal from the contract.
 
3. ANNUITY PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
 Proceeds of a total surrender of the contract after the annuity commencement
 date are taxable to the extent the proceeds exceed the investment in the
 contract. In addition, proceeds of a partial withdrawal after the annuity
 commencement date are fully taxable. Also, a portion of each annuity payment
 under the contract is taxable if the value of the contract exceeds the
 investment in the contract. The taxable portion of an annuity payment will be
 subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates.
 
 For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is determined
 by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio," which establishes the
 ratio that the investment in the contract (allocated to the fixed annuity
 option) bears to the total expected amount of fixed annuity payments for the
 term of the contract. That ratio is then applied to each payment to determine
 the non-taxable portion of the payment. The remaining portion of each payment
 is taxed at ordinary income rates.
 
 For variable annuity payments, in general, the taxable portion is determined
 by a formula which establishes a specific dollar amount of each payment that
 is not taxed. The dollar amount is determined by dividing the investment in
 the contract (allocated to the variable annuity option) by the total number
 of expected periodic payments. The remaining portion of each payment is taxed
 at ordinary income rates.
 
 Once the excludable portion of annuity payments to date equals the investment
 in the contract, the balance of the annuity payments will be fully taxable.
 
 If amounts have become payable under the contract (such as where the owner
 elects to surrender an amount) and if the distribution-at-death rules do not
 apply to such amount, the amount will be treated as a partial or full
 surrender for Federal income tax purposes if applied under an annuity option
 later than 60 days after the time when the amount became payable. Thus, if
 such an amount is applied under an annuity option after the 60 day period, it
 will be treated as a partial or full surrender, even if the full amount has
 not been distributed from the contract.
 
4. WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
 Golden American will withhold and remit to the U.S. government a part of the
 taxable portion of each distribution made under a contract unless the
 taxpayer notifies Golden American at or before the time of the distribution
 that he or she elects not to have any amounts withheld. The withholding rates
 applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments typically are
 the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages.
 In addition, the withholding rate applicable to the taxable portion of non-
 periodic payments (including surrenders prior to the annuity commencement
 date) is 10%. Golden American also has tax reporting obligations with respect
 to distributions from the contract.
 
5. PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN WITHDRAWALS
 With respect to amounts withdrawn or distributed before the taxpayer reaches
 age 59 1/2, a penalty tax is imposed equal to 10% of the taxable portion of
 amounts withdrawn or distributed. However, the penalty tax will not apply to
 withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the owner, or where the owner
 is not an individual, the death of the "primary annuitant" (i.e., the indi-
 vidual the events in whose life are of primary importance in affecting the
 timing or amount of the payout under the contract); (ii) attributable to the
 taxpayer's becoming totally disabled within the meaning of Code (S)72(m)(7);
 (iii) which are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
 made at least annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer, or
 the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his benefi-
 ciary; (iv) from a qualified plan; (v) allocable to investment in the
 contract before August 14, 1982; (vi) under a qualified funding asset (as
 defined in Code (S)130(d)); (vii) under an immediate annuity contract, or
 (viii) which are purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of
 
                                       34

 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 qualified plans and which are held by the employer until the employee sepa-
 rates from service.
 
 If the penalty tax does not apply to a withdrawal as a result of the applica-
 tion of item (iii) above, and the series of payments is subsequently modified
 (other than by reason of death or disability), the tax for the year when the
 modification occurs will be increased by an amount (as determined by regula-
 tions) equal to the tax that would have been imposed but for item (iii)
 above, plus interest for the deferral period, if the modification takes place
 (a) before the close of the period which is within five years of the date of
 the first payment and after the taxpayer attains age 59 1/2, or (b) before
 the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2.
 
 In the case of systematic withdrawals, it is unclear whether such withdrawals
 will qualify for exception (iii) above.
 
TAXATION OF INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
Code (S)408 permits individuals or their employers to contribute to an indi-
vidual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity. If the
contract is used for this purpose, the owner must be the annuitant. In addi-
tion, distributions from certain other types of qualified retirement plans may
be placed into an Individual Retirement Annuity on a tax deferred basis.
 
Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount which
may be contributed and the time when distributions may commence. Tax penalties
may apply to contributions in excess of specified limits, loans or assignments,
distributions in excess of a specified amount annually or that do not meet
specified requirements, and in certain other circumstances.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, distributions from qualified retirement plans,
including Individual Retirement Annuities, Simplified Employee Pensions, and
Tax Sheltered Annuities, generally must begin not later than April 1st of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which an owner attains age 70 1/2.
If the required minimum distribution is not withdrawn, there may be a penalty
tax in an amount equal to 50% of the difference between the amount required to
be withdrawn and the amount actually withdrawn. See the Statement of Additional
Information for a discussion of the various special rules concerning the
minimum distribution requirements.
 
If all premium payments made to an Individual Retirement Annuity were deduct-
ible, all amounts distributed from the contract are included in the recipient's
income when distributed. However, if nondeductible premium payments were made
to the Individual Retirement Annuity (within the limits allowed by the tax
law), a portion of each distribution from the contract typically is included in
income when it is distributed. In such a case, any amount distributed as an
annuity payment or in a lump sum upon death or a full surrender is taxed as
described above in connection with such a distribution from a non-qualified
contract, treating the investment in the contract as the sum of the non-deduct-
ible premium payments at the end of the taxable year in which the distribution
commences or is made (less any amounts previously distributed that were
excluded from income). Also in such a case, any amount distributed upon a
partial surrender is partially includible in income. The includible amount is
the excess of the distribution over the exclusion amount, which in turn equals
the distribution multiplied by the ratio of the investment in the contract to
the amount held under the contract. The amount includible in income may be
subject to a 10% penalty tax if the recipient is under age 59 1/2.
 
Individual Retirement Annuities generally may not provide life insurance cover-
age, but they may provide a death benefit that equals the greater of the
premiums paid and the contract value. The contract provides a death benefit
that in certain circumstances may exceed the greater of the premium payments
and the accumulation value. It is possible that the death benefit could be
viewed as violating the prohibition on investment in life insurance contracts
with the result that the contract would not be viewed as satisfying the
requirements of an IRA.
 
Subject to certain direct rollover and mandatory withholding requirements (dis-
cussed below), amounts generally may be "rolled over" from a qualified retire-
ment plan to an Individual Retirement Annuity (or from an Individual Retirement
Annuity or individual retirement account to an Individual Retirement Annuity)
without incurring tax if certain conditions are met. Only certain types of
distributions from qualified retirement plans or Individual Retirement Annui-
ties may be rolled over.
 
In the case of annuity contracts used in connection with a pension, profit-
sharing, or annuity plan qualified under Code (S)401(a) or (S)403(a), or in the
case of a Code (S)403(b) "Tax Sheltered Annuity,"
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
 
 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
any "eligible rollover distribution" from the contract will be subject to
direct rollover and mandatory withholding requirements. An eligible rollover
distribution generally is any taxable distribution from a qualified pension
plan under Code (S)401(a), qualified annuity plan under Code (S)403(a), or Code
(S)403(b) Tax Sheltered Annuity or custodial account, excluding certain amounts
(such as minimum distributions required under Code (S)401 (a) (9) and distribu-
tions which are part of a "series of substantially equal periodic payments"
made for life or a specified period of 10 years or more. Under these require-
ments, withholding at a rate of 20 percent will be imposed on any eligible
rollover distribution. In addition, the participant in these qualified retire-
ment plans cannot elect out of withholding with respect to an eligible rollover
distribution. However, this 20 percent withholding will not apply if, instead
of receiving the eligible rollover distribution, the participant elects to have
amounts directly transferred to certain qualified retirement plans (such as to
this contract when issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity).
 
It is important that you consult your tax advisor before purchasing an Indi-
vidual Retirement
Annuity.
 
 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
 
 
DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
In order to be treated as an annuity contract for Federal tax purposes, a non-
qualified contract must provide the following two distribution rules: (a) if
any holder dies on or after the annuity commencement date, and before the
entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remainder of his or
her interest will be distributed at least as quickly as under the method of
distribution in effect on the holder's death; and (b) if any holder dies before
the annuity commencement date, the entire interest in the contract must gener-
ally be distributed within five years after the date of death, or to the extent
such interest is payable to a designated beneficiary, such interest must be
distributed over the life of that designated beneficiary or over a period not
extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, so long as the
distributions begin within one year after the date of death. If the beneficiary
is the surviving spouse of the holder, the contract (together with the deferral
of tax on the accrued and future income thereunder) may be continued in the
name of the spouse. Before the annuity commencement date, the holder will
generally be the owner, and after the annuity commencement date, the holder
generally may be the annuitant and the owner.
 
Where the holder is not an individual, solely for the purpose of the distribu-
tion at death rules, the primary annuitant is considered the holder. The
primary annuitant is the individual the events in the life of whom are of
primary importance in affecting the timing or amount of payment under a
contract. Finally, in the case of joint holders, the distribution will be
required at the death of the first of the holders to die.
 
TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
Amounts may be distributed from a non- qualified contract because of the death
of an owner or annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income
of the recipient as follows: (a) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed
in the same manner as a full surrender of the contract, as described above, or
(b) if distributed under an annuity option, they are taxed in the same manner
as annuity payments, as described above.
TRANSFER OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Transfers of non-qualified annuity contracts for less than the full and
adequate consideration will trigger tax on the gain in the contract, at the
time of such transfer, with the transferee getting a step-up in basis for the
amount included in the owner's income. Such a transfer could result on the
annuity commencement date if the annuitant is not the owner or the owner's
spouse. This provision does not apply to transfers between spouses or incident
to a divorce.
 
(S)1035 EXCHANGES
Code (S)1035 provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange
of an annuity contract for another. If the exchanged contract was issued prior
to August 14, 1982, the tax rules which formerly provided that the surrender
was taxable only to the extent the amount received exceeds the owner's invest-
ment in the contract, will continue to apply to the new contract. In contrast,
contracts issued on or after January 19, 1985, in a Code (S)1035 exchange are
treated as new contracts for purposes of the penalty tax and distribution-at-
death rules. Special rules and procedures apply to Code (S)1035 transactions.
Prospective owners wishing to take advantage of Code (S)1035 should consult
their tax advisors.
 
ASSIGNMENTS
A transfer of ownership, a collateral assignment, or the designation of an
annuitant or other
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
 
 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
beneficiary who is not also the owner may result in tax consequences to the
owner, annuitant or beneficiary that are not discussed herein. An owner contem-
plating such a transfer or assignment of a contract should contact a competent
tax advisor with respect to the potential tax effects of such a transaction.
 
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS RULE
For purposes of determining the amount of any distribution under Code (S)72(e)
(amounts not received as annuities) that is includible in gross income, all
non-qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same (or affiliate)
insurer to the same owner during any calendar year are to be aggregated and
treated as one contract. Thus, any amount received under any such contract
prior to the contract's annuity starting date (as defined in the tax law), such
as a partial surrender, dividend, or loan, will be taxable (and possibly
subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent of the combined income in all
such contracts. The Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regula-
tions that prevent the avoidance of (S)72(e) through the serial purchase of
annuity contracts or otherwise. In addition, there may be other situations in
which the Treasury Department may conclude that it would be appropriate to
aggregate two or more contracts purchased by the same owner. Accordingly, an
owner should consult a competent tax advisor before purchasing more than one
annuity contract.

(1) We also offer a DVA through another prospectus, which is a contract with a
    different charging structure.
(2) Fees decline as combined assets increase (see Account B Divisions and the
    Trust prospectuses for details).
(3) Other expenses generally consist of independent trustees fees and expenses.
(4) The estimated expenses for the Managed Global Series are based on the
    actual experience of its predecessor for accounting purposes, the Managed
    Global Account of Separate Account D. On September 3, 1996, the Managed
    Global Account was reorganized into the Managed Global Division of Account
    B and the Managed Global Series of the GCG Trust.
   
(5) Prior to October 6, 1995, EISI waived its management fee for the OTC,
    Research and Total Return Portfolios.
(6) Other expenses shown take into account the effect of EISI's agreement to
    reimburse the portfolios for all operating expenses, excluding management
    fees, that exceed 0.75% of its average daily net assets. This reimbursement
    agreement commenced February 1, 1997. Prior to February 1, 1997, EISI reim-
    bursed the portfolios for all operating expenses, excluding management
    fees, that exceeded 0.75% of their average daily net assets. This reim-
    bursement is voluntary and can be terminated at any time. In the absence of
    such reimbursement agreement, Other Expenses would have been 1.72%, 1.68%
    and 1.56%, respectively. for the OTC, Research and Total Return Portfolios
    for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Growth & Income and Value +
    Growth Portfolio commenced operations on April 1, 1996 and has no prior
    operating history.

For purposes of computing the annual per contract administrative charge, the
dollar amounts shown in the examples are based on an initial premium of
$50,000.
 
The purpose of the fee table is to assist you in understanding the various
costs and expenses that you may bear directly or indirectly. The fee table
reflects expenses of Account B as well as the Trusts. Premium taxes may also be
applicable. See Charges and Fees, Premium Taxes. For a complete description of
contract costs and expenses see the section titled Charges and Fees. For a more
complete description of the costs and expenses of the Trusts, see the Trust
prospectuses.

 SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACT
 
This prospectus has been designed to provide you with information regarding the
contract and Account B which funds the contract. Information concerning the
Series underlying the divisions of Account B is set forth in the Trust prospec-
tuses.
 
This summary is intended to provide only a very brief overview of the more
significant aspects of the contract. Further detail is provided in this
prospectus and in the contract. The contract, together with its attached appli-
cation or enrollment form and any riders or endorsements, constitutes the
entire agreement between you and us and should be retained.
 
This prospectus has been designed to provide you with the necessary information
to make a decision on purchasing the contract offered by Golden American and
funded by Account B.
 
You have a choice of investments. We do not promise that your accumulation
value will increase. Depending on the contract's investment experience for
funds invested in Account B, the accumulation value, cash surrender value and
death benefit may increase or decrease on any day. You bear the investment
risk.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
 
The contract is designed to establish retirement benefits for two types of
purchasers. The first type of purchaser is one who is eligible to participate
in, and purchases a contract for use with, an individual retirement annuity
("IRA") meeting the requirements of section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 ("qualified plan"). For a contract funding a qualified plan, distribu-
tion must commence not later than April 1st of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2. The second type of purchaser is
one who purchases a contract outside of a qualified plan ("non-qualified
plan").
 
The contract also offers a choice of annuity options to which you may apply the
accumulation value on the annuity commencement date or the cash surrender value
upon surrender of the contract. See Choosing an Income Plan.
 
AVAILABILITY
 
We can issue a contract if both the annuitant and the owner are not older than
age 85 and accept additional premium payments until either the annuitant or
owner reaches the attained age of 85 for non-qualified plans (age 70 1/2 for
qualified plans, except for rollover contributions). The minimum initial
premium is $25,000 for qualified and non-qualified plans. In connection with
qualified plans, we will only accept rollover contributions of $25,000 or more
as the initial premium. We also offer a DVA through another prospectus, which
is a contract with a different charging structure. We may change the minimum
initial or additional premium requirements for certain group or sponsored
arrangements. See Group or Sponsored Arrangements.
 
The minimum additional premium payment we will accept is $500 for a non-quali-
fied plan and $250 for a qualified plan. We will take under consideration and
may refuse to accept a premium payment if the sum of all premium payments
received under the contract totals more than $1,500,000.
 
THE DIVISIONS
 
   
There are nineteen divisions of Account B currently available under the
contract. Each of the nineteen divisions offered under this prospectus invests
in a mutual fund portfolio with its own distinct investment objectives and
policies. Each division of Account B invests in a corresponding Series of the
GCG Trust, managed by Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), or a corresponding
Series of the ESS Trust, managed by Equitable Investment Services, Inc.
("EISI," and together with DSI, the "Managers"). The Trusts and the Managers
have retained several portfolio managers to manage the assets of each Series.
See Facts About the Company and Account B and Account B Divisions.
    
 
HOW THE ACCUMULATION VALUE VARIES
 
The accumulation value varies each day based on investment results. You bear
the risk of poor investment performance and you receive the benefits from
favorable investment performance. The accumulation value also reflects premium
payments, charges deducted and partial withdrawals. See Accumulation Value in
Each Division.
 
SURRENDERING YOUR CONTRACT
 
The cash surrender value varies each day depending on investment results. We do
not guarantee any minimum cash surrender value. You may surrender the contract
and receive its cash surrender value at any time while both the annuitant and
owner are living and before the annuity commencement date. See Cash Surrender
Value and Surrendering to Receive the Cash Surrender Value.

 SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
TAKING PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
After the free look period, prior to the annuity commencement date and while
the contract is in effect, you may take partial withdrawals from the accumula-
tion value of the contract. You may take conventional partial withdrawals once
per contract year without charge. Alternatively, you may elect in advance to
take systematic partial withdrawals on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you
have an IRA contract, you may elect IRA partial withdrawals on a monthly, quar-
terly or annual basis.
 
Partial withdrawals are subject to certain restrictions as defined in this
prospectus. See Partial Withdrawals.
 
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
 
Under this option, you may choose to have a specified dollar amount transferred
from either the Limited Maturity Bond Division or Liquid Asset Division to the
other divisions on a monthly basis with the objective of shielding your invest-
ment from short-term price fluctuations. See Dollar Cost Averaging Option.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT
 
You may cancel your contract within the free look period which is a ten day
period of time beginning when you receive the contract. For purposes of admin-
istering our allocation and certain other administrative rules, we deem this
period to end 15 days after the contract is mailed from our Customer Service
Center. Some states may require that we provide a longer free look period. In
some states we restrict the initial premium allocation during the free look
period. See Your Right to Cancel or Exchange Your Contract.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO CHANGE THE CONTRACT
 
The contract may be changed to another annuity plan subject to our rules at the
time of the change. See Other Contract Changes.
 
DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
 
The contract provides a death benefit to the beneficiary if the annuitant (when
there is no contingent annuitant) or an owner dies prior to the annuity
commencement date. See Proceeds Payable to the Beneficiary. We may reduce the
death benefit proceeds payable under certain group or sponsored arrangements.
See Group or Sponsored Arrangements.
 
CONTRACT PROCESSING PERIODS
 
The first contract processing period begins with the contract date and ends at
the close of business on the first contract processing date. All subsequent
contract processing periods begin at the close of business on the most recent
contract processing date and extend to the close of business on the next
contract processing date. There is one contract processing period each year.
 
DEDUCTIONS FOR CHARGES AND FEES
 
We invest the entire amount of the initial and any additional premium payments
in the divisions you select, subject to certain restrictions we impose. See
Restrictions on Allocation of Premium Payments. We then periodically deduct
certain amounts from your accumulation value. See Charges and Fees. We may
reduce certain charges under group or sponsored arrangements. See Group or
Sponsored Arrangements. We may also reduce certain charges for contracts
purchased in combination with certain flexible premium variable life products
that we offer. Charges are deducted proportionately from all divisions in which
you are invested, unless you have elected the Charge Deduction Division. The
charges we deduct are:
 
DISTRIBUTION FEE
 
 We deduct a sales load in an annual amount of 0.65% of each premium at the
 end of each contract processing period (or at the time of surrender if
 surrendered before the end of the processing period) for a period of ten
 years from the date we receive and accept each premium payment.
 
 We also offer through other prospectuses, other DVAs which are contracts with
 a different charging structures.
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 
 We charge each division of the Accounts with a daily asset based charge for
 mortality and expense risks equivalent to an annual rate of 1.25%.
 
PREMIUM TAXES
 
 Generally, premium taxes are incurred on the annuity commencement date, and a
 charge for premium taxes is then deducted from the accumulation value on such
 date. Some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time the initial or
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
 SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 additional premiums are paid, regardless of the annuity commencement date.
 
EXCESS ALLOCATION CHARGE
 
 The first five allocation changes in any contract year may be made without
 charge. Each subsequent allocation change is subject to a $25 excess alloca-
 tion charge.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
 
 If you take more than one conventional partial withdrawal during a contract
 year, we impose a charge of the lesser of $25 and 2.0% of the amount with-
 drawn for each additional conventional partial withdrawal. See Partial With-
 drawals, Conventional Partial Withdrawal Option.
 
ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 
 We charge each division of the Accounts with a daily asset based charge to
 cover contract administration equivalent to an annual rate of 0.10%.
 
TRUST EXPENSES
 
 There are fees and expenses deducted from each Series. The investment perfor-
 mance of the Series and deductions for fees and expenses from the Trusts will
 affect your accumulation value. Please read the Trust prospectuses for
 details.
 
TAX PENALTIES
 
The ultimate effect of Federal income taxes on the amounts held under an
annuity contract, on annuity payments and on the economic benefits to the
owner, annuitant or beneficiary depends on Golden American's tax status and
upon the tax status of the individuals concerned. In general, an owner is not
taxed on increases in value under an annuity contract until some form of
distribution is made under it. There may be tax penalties if you make a with-
drawal or surrender the contract before reaching age 59 1/2. See Federal Tax
Considerations.

PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
 
Performance information for the divisions of Account B, including the yield and
effective yield of the Liquid Asset Division, the yield of the remaining divi-
sions, and the total return of all divisions may appear in reports and promo-
tional literature to current or prospective owners.
 
Current yield for the Liquid Asset Division will be based on income received by
a hypothetical investment over a given 7-day period (less expenses accrued
during the period), and then "annualized" (i.e., assuming that the 7-day yield
would be received for 52 weeks, stated in terms of an annual percentage return
on the investment). "Effective yield" for the Liquid Asset Division is calcu-
lated in a manner similar to that used to calculate yield, but when annualized,
the income earned by the investment is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective
yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the compounding
effect of earnings.
 
For the remaining divisions, quotations of yield will be based on all invest-
ment income per unit (accumulation value divided by the index of investment
experience -- see Measurement of Investment Experience, Index of Investment
Experience and Unit Value) earned during a given 30-day period, less expenses
accrued during the period ("net investment income"). Quotations of average
annual total return for any division will be expressed in terms of the average
annual compounded rate of return on a hypothetical investment in a contract
over a period of one, five, and ten years (or, if less, up to the life of the
division), and will reflect the deduction of the applicable distribution fee,
the asset based administrative charge and the mortality and expense risk
charge. Quotations of total return may simultaneously be shown for other
periods that do not take into account certain contractual charges such as the
distribution fee and surrender charge. Quotations of yield and average annual
total return for the Managed Global Division take into account the period prior
to September 3, 1996, during which it was maintained as a division of Account
D.
 
Performance information for a division may be compared, in reports and promo-
tional literature, to: (i) the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500"),
Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"), Donoghue Money Market Institutional
Averages, or other indices measuring performance of a pertinent group of secu-
rities so that investors may compare a division's results with those of a group
of securities widely regarded by investors as representative of the securities
markets in general; (ii) other variable annuity separate accounts or other
investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, a widely used inde-
pendent research firm which ranks mutual funds and other investment companies
by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets, or tracked by other
ratings services, including VARDS, companies, publications, or persons who rank
separate accounts or other investment products on overall performance or other
criteria; and (iii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to assess
the real rate of return from an investment in the contract. Unmanaged indices
may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deduc-
tions for administrative and management costs and expenses.
 
Performance information for any division reflects only the performance of a
hypothetical contract under which the accumulation value is allocated to a
division during a particular time period on which the calculations are based.
Performance information should be considered in light of the investment objec-
tives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the Series
of the respective Trust in which the division invests and the market conditions
during the given time period, and should not be considered as a representation
of what may be achieved in the future. For a description of the methods used to
determine yield and total return for the divisions, see the Statement of Addi-
tional Information.

 INTRODUCTION
 
 
Reports and promotional literature may also contain other information including
the ranking of any division derived from rankings of variable annuity separate
accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services or
by rating services, companies, publications, or other persons who rank separate
accounts or other investment products on overall performance or other criteria.
The following information describes the contract and Account B. Account B
invests in mutual fund portfolios of The GCG Trust and The ESS Trust.
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY AND ACCOUNT B
 
GOLDEN AMERICAN
 
Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American" or the "Company") is
a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Dela-
ware and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa Companies
("Equitable of Iowa"). Prior to December 30, 1993, Golden American was a Minne-
sota corporation. Prior to August 13, 1996, Golden American was a wholly owned
indirect subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company. We are authorized to do business
in all jurisdictions except New York. We offer variable annuities and variable
life insurance. Administrative services for the contract are provided at our
Customer Service Center, the address is shown on the cover. As of December 31,
1995 Golden American had stockholder's equity of approximately $98.1 million
and total assets of approximately $1.2 billion, including approximately $1.05
billion of separate account assets.
 
   
Equitable of Iowa is the holding company for Equitable Life Insurance Company
of Iowa, USG Annuity & Life Company, Locust Street Securities, Inc., Equitable
Investment Services, Inc. ("EISI"), Equitable of Iowa Securities Network, Inc.,
EIC Variable, Inc., Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI") and Golden American. As of
September 30, 1996, Equitable of Iowa had over $11.9 billion in assets.
    
 
SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
 
All obligations under the contract are general obligations of Golden American.
Account B is a separate investment account used to support our variable annuity
contracts and for other purposes as permitted by applicable laws and regula-
tions. The assets of Account B are kept separate from our general account and
any other separate accounts we may have. We may offer other variable annuity
contracts investing in Account B which are not discussed in this prospectus.
Account B may also invest in other series which are not available to the
contract described in this prospectus.
 
We own all the assets in Account B. Income and realized and unrealized gains or
losses from assets in Account B are credited to or charged against that account
without regard to other income, gains or losses in our other investment
accounts. As required, the assets in Account B are at least equal to the
reserves and other liabilities of that account. These assets may not be charged
with liabilities from any other business we conduct.
 
They may, however, be subject to liabilities arising from divisions of Account
B whose assets are attributable to other variable annuity contracts supported
by Account B. If the assets exceed the required reserves and other liabilities,
we may transfer the excess to our general account.
 
Account B was established on July 14, 1988 to invest in mutual funds, unit
investment trusts or other investment portfolios which we determine to be suit-
able for the contract's purposes. Account B is treated as a unit investment
trust under Federal securities laws. It is registered with the SEC under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an investment company. It is
governed by the laws of Delaware, our state of domicile, and may also be
governed by the laws of other states in which we do business. Registration with
the SEC does not involve any supervision by the SEC of the management or
investment policies or practices of Account B.
 
ACCOUNT B DIVISIONS
 
Account B is divided into divisions. The Managed Global Series was formerly the
Managed Global Account of Golden American's Separate Account D from October 22,
1992 until September 3, 1996. Currently, each division of Account B offered

under this prospectus invests in a portfolio of the GCG Trust or the ESS
Trust. DSI serves as the Manager to each Series of the GCG Trust, and EISI
serves as the Manager to each Series of the ESS Trust. See the Trusts'
prospectuses for details. The Trusts, DSI and EISI have retained several port-
folio managers to manage the assets of each Series as indicated below. There
may be restrictions on the amount of the allocation to certain divisions based
on state laws and regulations. The investment objectives of the various Series
in the Trusts are described below. There is no guarantee that any portfolio or
Series will meet its investment objectives. Meeting objectives depends on
various factors, including, in certain cases, how well the portfolio managers
anticipate changing economic and market conditions. Account B may also have
other divisions investing in other series which are not available to the
contract described in this prospectus.
 
DSI and EISI provide the overall business management and administrative serv-
ices necessary for the Series' operation and provide or procure the services
and information necessary to the proper conduct of the business of the Series.
See the Trust prospectuses for details.
 
DSI is responsible for providing or procuring, at DSI's expense, the services
reasonably necessary for the ordinary operation of the Series of the GCG
Trust. DSI does not bear the expense of brokerage fees and other transactional
expenses for securities or other assets (which are generally considered part
of the cost for assets), taxes (if any) paid by a Series of the GCG Trust,
interest on borrowing, fees and expenses of the independent trustees, and
extraordinary expenses, such as litigation or indemnification expenses. See
the Trust prospectuses for details.
 
Each Trust pays its respective Manager for its services a monthly fee based on
the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the Series shown
in the tables below. DSI and EISI (and not the Trusts) pay each portfolio
manager a monthly fee for managing the assets of the Series.

OBJECTIVE
 Long-term capital growth.
INVESTMENTS
 Invests in common stocks and preferred stock that will be allocated among
 various categories of stocks referred to as "components" which consist of the
 following: (i) The Growth Component -- Securities that the portfolio manager
 believes have the following characteristics: stability and quality of earn-
 ings and positive earnings momentum; dominant competitive positions; and
 demonstrate above-average growth rates as compared to published S&P 500 earn-
 ings projections; and (ii) The Value Component -- Securities that the port-
 folio manager regards as fundamentally undervalued, i.e., securities selling
 at a discount to asset value and securities with a relatively low price-
 /earnings ratio. The securities eligible for this component may include real
 estate stocks, such as securities of publicly-owned companies that, in the
 portfolio manager's judgement, offer an optimum combination of current divi-
 dend yield, expected dividend growth, and discount to current real estate
 value.

THE GCG TRUST AND THE ESS TRUST
 
The GCG Trust is an open-end management investment company, more commonly
called a mutual fund. The GCG Trust's shares may also be available to certain
separate accounts funding variable life insurance policies offered by Golden
American. This is called "mixed funding."
 
The GCG Trust may also sell its shares to separate accounts of other insurance
companies, both affiliated and not affiliated with Golden American. This is
called "shared funding." Although we do not anticipate any inherent difficul-
ties arising from either mixed or shared funding it is theoretically possible
that, due to differences in tax treatment or other considerations, the interest
of owners of various contracts participating in the GCG Trust might at sometime
be in conflict. After the GCG Trust receives the requisite order from the SEC,
shares of the GCG Trust may also be sold to certain qualified pension and
retirement plans. The Board of Trustees of the GCG Trust, the Trust's Manager,
and we and any other insurance companies participating in the GCG Trust are
required to monitor events to identify any material conflicts that arise from
the use of the GCG Trust for mixed and/or shared funding or between various
policyowners and pension and retirement plans. For more information about the
risks of mixed and shared funding please refer to the GCG Trust prospectus.
 
The ESS Trust is also an open-end management investment company. Currently, the
ESS Trust's shares are not available to separate accounts of other insurance
companies except affiliated insurance companies such as Golden American. It is
anticipated that in the future the ESS Trust will become available to separate
accounts of unaffiliated companies as well as to separate accounts funding
variable life insurance policies offered by Golden American.
 
You will find complete information about both the GCG Trust and the ESS Trust,
including the risks associated with each Series, in the accompanying Trust
prospectuses. You should read them carefully in conjunction with this
prospectus before investing. Additional copies of the Trust prospec-

tuses may be obtained by contacting our Customer Service Center.
 
CHANGES WITHIN ACCOUNT B
We may from time to time make additional divisions available. These divisions
will invest in investment portfolios we find suitable for the contract. We
also have the right to eliminate investment divisions from Account B, to
combine two or more divisions, or to substitute a new portfolio for the port-
folio in which a division invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in
our judgment, a portfolio no longer suits the purposes of the contract. This
may happen due to a change in laws or regulations, or a change in a portfo-
lio's investment objectives or restrictions, or because the portfolio is no
longer available for investment, or for some other reason. In addition, we
reserve the right to transfer assets of Account B, which we determine to be
associated with the class of contracts to which your contract belongs, to
another account. If necessary, we will get prior approval from the insurance
department of our state of domicile before making such a substitution or
transfer. We will also get any required approval from the SEC and any other
required approvals before making such a substitution or transfer. We will
notify you as soon as practicable of any proposed changes.
 
When permitted by law, We reserve the right to:
 
(1) deregister Account B under the 1940 Act;
 
(2) operate Account B as a management company under the 1940 Act if it is
    operating as a unit investment trust;
 
(3) operate Account B as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act if it is
    operating as a managed separate account;
 
(4) restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to Account B; and
 
(5) combine Account B with other accounts.
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT
 
THE OWNER
You are the owner. You are also the annuitant unless another annuitant is
named in the application or enrollment form. You have the rights and options
described in the contract. One or more persons may own the contract.
 
Death of an owner activates the death benefit provision. In the case of a sole
owner who dies prior to the annuity commencement date, we will pay the benefi-
ciary the death benefit then due. The sole owner's estate will be the benefi-
ciary if no beneficiary designation is in effect, or if the designated benefi-
ciary has predeceased the owner. In the case of a joint owner of the contract
dying prior to the annuity commencement date, we will designate the surviving
owner(s) as the beneficiary(ies). This supersedes any previous beneficiary
designation. In the case where the owner is a trust, the beneficial owner of
the trust will be treated as the owner of the contract solely for the purpose
of activating the death benefit provision. See Contracts Owned by Non-Natural
Persons.
 
THE ANNUITANT
The annuitant will receive the annuity benefits of the contract if living on
the annuity commencement date. If the annuitant dies before the annuity
commencement date, and a contingent annuitant has been named, the contingent
annuitant becomes the annuitant. Once named, neither the annuitant nor the
contingent annuitant, if any, may be changed at any time.
 
If there is no contingent annuitant when the annuitant dies prior to the
annuity commencement date, we will pay the beneficiary the death benefit then
due. The beneficiary will be as provided in the beneficiary designation then
in effect. If no beneficiary designation is in effect, or if there is no
designated beneficiary living, the owner will be the beneficiary. If the annu-
itant was the sole owner and there is no beneficiary designation, the
annuitant's estate will be the beneficiary.
 
THE BENEFICIARY
The beneficiary is the person to whom we pay death benefit proceeds if the
annuitant (when there is no contingent annuitant) or owner dies prior to the
annuity commencement date. We pay death benefit proceeds to the primary bene-
ficiary. See Proceeds Payable to the Beneficiary.
 
If the beneficiary dies before the annuitant or owner, the death benefit
proceeds are paid to the contingent beneficiary, if any. If there is no
surviving beneficiary, we pay the death benefit proceeds to the owner (if
other than the annuitant). If the owner was the annuitant, we pay any death
benefit proceeds to the annuitant's estate.
 
One or more persons who must be individuals may be named as beneficiary or
contingent beneficiary. In the case of more than one beneficiary, we will
assume any death benefit proceeds are to be paid in equal shares to the
surviving beneficiaries. You may specify other than equal shares.

<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
You have the right to change beneficiaries during the annuitant's lifetime
unless you have designated an irrevocable beneficiary. When an irrevocable
beneficiary has been designated, you and the irrevocable beneficiary must act
together to exercise the rights and options under the contract.
 
CHANGE OF OWNER OR BENEFICIARY
During the annuitant's lifetime and while the contract is in effect, you may
transfer ownership of the contract (if purchased in connection with a non-qual-
ified plan) subject to our published rules at the time of the change. You may
also change the beneficiary. To make either of these changes, you must send us
written notice of the change in a form satisfactory to us. The change will take
effect as of the day the notice is signed. The change will not affect any
payment made or action taken by us before recording the change at our Customer
Service Center. See Additional Considerations, Transfer of Annuity Contracts,
and Assignments.
 
AVAILABILITY OF THE CONTRACT
We can issue a contract if both the annuitant and the owner are not older than
age 85.
 
TYPES OF CONTRACTS
 
QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
 The contract may be issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity or in connec-
 tion with an individual retirement account. In the latter case, the contract
 will be issued without an Individual Retirement Annuity endorsement, and the
 rights of the participant under the contract will be affected by the terms
 and conditions of the particular individual retirement trust or custodial
 account, and by provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder. For
 example, the individual retirement trust or custodial account will impose
 minimum distribution rules, which require distributions to commence not later
 than April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you
 attain age 70 1/2. For both Individual Retirement Annuities and individual
 retirement accounts, we will only accept a $25,000 rollover contribution as
 the minimum initial premium.
 
 IF THE CONTRACT IS PURCHASED TO FUND A QUALIFIED PLAN, DISTRIBUTION MUST
 COMMENCE NOT LATER THAN APRIL 1ST OF THE CALENDAR YEAR FOLLOWING THE CALENDAR
 YEAR IN WHICH YOU ATTAIN AGE 70 1/2.
 
NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
 The contract may fund any non-qualified plan. Non-qualified contracts do not
 qualify for any tax-favored treatment other than the benefits provided for by
 annuities.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO SELECT OR CHANGE CONTRACT OPTIONS
Before the annuity commencement date, you may change the annuity commencement
date, frequency of annuity payments or the annuity option by sending a written
request to the Customer Service Center. The annuitant named on the application
or enrollment form may not be changed at any time.
 
PREMIUMS
You purchase the contract with an initial premium. After the end of the free
look period, you may make additional premium payments. See Making Additional
Premium Payments. The minimum initial premium is $25,000 for qualified and non-
qualified contracts. In connection with qualified plans, we will only accept
rollover contributions of $25,000 or more as the initial premium. We also offer
other DVAs through other prospectuses which are contracts with different
charging structures.
 
We may refuse a premium payment if an initial premium or the sum of all premium
payments is more than $1,500,000. We may change the minimum initial or addi-
tional premium requirements for certain group or sponsored arrangements. See
Group or Sponsored Arrangements.
 
QUALIFIED PLANS
 For IRA contracts, the annual premium on behalf of any individual contract
 may not exceed $2,000. Provided your spouse does not make a contribution to
 an IRA, you may set up a spousal IRA even if your spouse has earned some
 compensation during the year. The maximum deductible amount for a spousal IRA
 program is the lesser of $2,250 or 100% of your compensation reduced by the
 contribution (if any) made by you for the taxable year to your own IRA.
 However, no more than $2,000 can go to either your or your spouse's IRA in
 any one year. For example, $1,750 may go to your IRA and $500 to your
 spouse's IRA. These maximums are not applicable if the premium is the result
 of a rollover from another qualified plan.

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
WHERE TO MAKE PAYMENTS
 Remit premium payments to our Customer Service Center. The address is shown
 on the cover. We will send you a confirmation notice.
 
MAKING ADDITIONAL PREMIUM PAYMENTS
You may make additional premium payments after the end of the free look
period. We can accept additional premium payments until either the annuitant
or owner reaches the attained age of 85 under non-qualified plans. For quali-
fied plans, no contributions may be made to an IRA contract for the taxable
year in which you attain age 70 1/2 and thereafter (except for rollover
contributions). The minimum additional premium payment we will accept is $500
for a non-qualified plan and $250 for a qualified plan.
 
CREDITING PREMIUM PAYMENTS
The initial premium will be accepted or rejected within two business days of
receipt by us of a completed application or enrollment form. We may retain the
initial premium for up to five days while attempting to complete an incomplete
application or enrollment form. If the application or enrollment form cannot
be made complete within five valuation days, the applicant or enrollee will be
informed of the reasons for the delay and the initial premium will be returned
immediately unless the applicant or enrollee specifically consents to our
retaining the initial premium until the application or enrollment form is made
complete. Thereafter, all premiums will be accepted on the day received.
 
We will accept, by agreement with broker-dealers who use wire transmittals,
transmittal of initial and additional premium payments by wire order from the
broker-dealer to the Customer Service Center. Such transmittals must be accom-
panied by a simultaneous telephone facsimile transmission containing the
essential information we require to open an account and allocate the premium
payment.
 
Premium payments accepted via wire order and accompanying facsimile transmis-
sions will be invested at the value next determined following receipt. Wire
orders not accompanied by facsimile transmissions, or accompanied by facsimile
transmissions which do not contain the essential information we require to
open an account and allocate the premium payment, may be retained for a period
not exceeding five business days while an attempt is made to obtain the
required facsimile transmission. If the required facsimile transmission cannot
be obtained within five business days, the Customer Service Center will inform
the broker-dealer, on behalf of the applicant/enrollee, of the reasons for the
delay and return the premium payment immediately to the broker-dealer for
return to the applicant/enrollee, unless the applicant/enrollee specifically
consents to allow us to retain the premium payment until the required
facsimile transmission is received by the Customer Service Center.
 
We will issue the contract; however, until we have received and accepted at
the Customer Service Center a properly completed application or enrollment
form, we reserve the right to rescind the contract. If an application or
enrollment form is not received within ten days of receipt of the initial
premium via wire order, or if an incomplete application or enrollment form is
received and cannot be completed within ten days of receipt of the initial
premium, the amount of the initial premium, with any gain, will be returned to
the broker-dealer for return to the applicant/enrollee. In no event will less
than the full amount of the initial premium be returned to the
applicant/enrollee.
 
On the date we receive and accept your initial or additional premium payment:
 
(1) We allocate the initial premium among the divisions according to your
    instructions, subject to any restrictions. See Restrictions on Allocation
    of Premium Payments. For additional premium payments, the accumulation
    value will increase by the amount of the premium. If we do not receive
    instructions from you, the increase in the accumulation value will be
    allocated among the divisions in proportion to the amount of accumulation
    value in each division as of the date we receive and accept the additional
    premium payment.
 
(2) For an initial premium, we calculate the distribution fee and any charge
    for premium taxes, if applicable. When an additional premium payment is
    made we increase any distribution fee and any charge for premium taxes, if
    applicable. These charges will be collected by us from the contract's
    accumulation value. HOWEVER, WE CURRENTLY WAIVE THE DEDUCTION OF THE
    CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES. (See Charges and Fees, Premium Taxes.)
 
(3) For an initial premium, we calculate the guaranteed death benefit. When an
    additional premium payment is made we increase the guaranteed death bene-
    fit.

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
ELECTRONIC DATA TRANSMISSION OF APPLICATION INFORMATION
 In certain states, we will also accept, by agreement with broker-dealers who
 use electronic data transmissions of application information, wire
 transmittals of initial premium payments from the broker-dealer to the
 Customer Service Center for purchase of the contract. Contact the Customer
 Service Center to find out about state availability.
 
 Upon receipt of the electronic data and wire transmittal, we will open an
 account and allocate the premium payment according to the client's instruc-
 tions. Based on the information provided, we will generate an application or
 enrollment form and contract to be forwarded to the applicant/enrollee for
 signature.
 
 During the period from receipt of the initial premium until the signed appli-
 cation or enrollment form is received, the owner may not execute any finan-
 cial transactions with respect to the contract unless such transactions are
 requested in writing and signature guaranteed.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS
We may require that the initial premium be allocated to the Specially Desig-
nated Division during the free look period for initial premiums received from
some states. After the free look period, if your initial premium was allocated
to the Specially Designated Division, we will transfer the accumulation value
to the divisions you previously selected based on the index of investment expe-
rience next computed for each division. See Measurement of Investment Experi-
ence, Index of Investment Experience and Unit Value.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO REALLOCATE
You may reallocate your accumulation value among the divisions of Account B at
the end of the free look period. You are allowed five allocation changes per
contract year without charge. There will be a charge of $25 deducted from the
accumulation value for each additional allocation change. When a reallocation
is made, we redeem shares of the Series underlying the divisions you are trans-
ferring from at their net asset value. Reinvestment is then made in shares of
the Series of the divisions you are transferring to at their net asset value.
To make a reallocation change, you must provide us with satisfactory notice at
our Customer Service Center.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON REALLOCATIONS
 Some restrictions may apply based on the free look provisions of the state
 where the contract is issued. See Your Right to Cancel or Exchange Your
 Contract.
 
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION
If you have at least $10,000 of accumulation value in the Limited Maturity Bond
Division or the Liquid Asset Division, you may choose to have a specified
dollar amount transferred from this division to other divisions in Account B on
a monthly basis. The main Objective of dollar cost averaging is to attempt to
shield your investment from short- term price fluctuations. Since the same
dollar amount is transferred to other divisions each month, more units are
purchased in a division if the value per unit is low and less units are
purchased if the value per unit is high.
 
Therefore, a lower than average value per unit may be achieved over the long
term. This plan of investing allows investors to take advantage of market fluc-
tuations but does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining
markets. See Measurement of Investment Experience, Index of Investment Experi-
ence and Unit Value.
 
This dollar cost averaging option may be elected at the time the application or
enrollment form is completed or at a later date. The minimum amount that may be
transferred each month is $250. The maximum amount which may be transferred is
equal to the accumulation value in the Limited Maturity Bond Division or the
Liquid Asset Division when elected, divided by 12.
 
The transfer date will be the same calendar day each month as the contract
date. The dollar amount will be allocated to the divisions in which you are
invested in proportion to your accumulation value in each division unless you
specify otherwise. If, on any transfer date, the accumulation value is equal to
or less than the amount you have elected to have transferred, the entire amount
will be transferred and the option will end. You may change the transfer amount
once each contract year, or cancel this option by sending us satisfactory
notice to the Customer Service Center at least seven days before the next
transfer date. Any allocation under this option will not be included in deter-
mining if the excess allocation charge will apply.
 
WHAT HAPPENS IF A DIVISION IS NOT AVAILABLE
When a distribution is made from an investment portfolio supporting a division
of Account B in
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
which reinvestment is not available, we will allocate the distribution, unless
you specify otherwise, to the Specially Designated Division.
 
Such a distribution can occur when (a) an investment portfolio matures, or (b)
a distribution from a portfolio or division cannot be reinvested in the port-
folio or division due to the unavailability of securities for acquisition. When
an investment portfolio matures, we will notify you in writing 30 days in
advance of that date. To elect an allocation to other than the Specially Desig-
nated Division, you must provide satisfactory notice to us at least seven days
prior to the date the portfolio matures. Such allocations are not counted as an
allocation change of the accumulation value for purposes of the number of free
allocation changes permitted. When a distribution from a portfolio or division
cannot be reinvested in the portfolio due to the unavailability of securities
for acquisition, we will notify you promptly after the allocation has occurred.
If within 30 days you allocate the accumulation value from the Specially Desig-
nated Division to other divisions of your choice, such allocations are not
counted as an allocation change of the accumulation value for purposes of the
number of free allocation changes permitted.
 
YOUR ACCUMULATION VALUE
Your accumulation value is the sum of the amounts in each of the divisions in
which you are invested, and is the amount available for investment at any time.
You select the divisions to which to allocate the accumulation value. We adjust
your accumulation value on each Valuation Date to reflect the divisions'
investment performance and on each contract processing date to reflect the
removal of any charges. The accumulation value is applied to your choice of an
annuity option on the annuity commencement date. See Choosing an Income Plan.
 
You may choose up to sixteen divisions and allocate your accumulation value
among them in any way you choose.
 
ACCUMULATION VALUE IN EACH DIVISION
 
ON THE CONTRACT DATE
 On the contract date, the accumulation value is allocated to each division as
 specified on the application or enrollment form, unless the contract is
 issued in a state that requires the return of premium payments during the
 free look period, in which case, your initial premium will be allocated to
 the Specially Designated Division during the free look period. See Your Right
 to Cancel or Exchange Your Contract.
 
ON EACH VALUATION DATE
 At the end of each subsequent valuation period, the amount of accumulation
 value in each division will be calculated as follows:
 
 (1) We take the accumulation value in the division at the end of the
     preceding valuation period.
 
 (2) We multiply (1) by the division's net rate of return for the current
     valuation period.
 
 (3) We add (1) and (2).
 
 (4) We add to (3) any additional premium payments allocated to the division
     during the current valuation period.
 
 (5) We add or subtract allocations to or from that division during the
     current valuation period.
 
 (6) We subtract from (5) any partial withdrawals and any associated charges
     allocated to that division during the current valuation period.
 
 (7) We subtract from (6) the amounts allocated to that division for:
 
   (a) any contract fees; and
 
   (b) any distribution fee and any charge for premium taxes. HOWEVER, WE
       CURRENTLY WAIVE THE DEDUCTION OF THE CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES. (See
       Charges and Fees, Premium Taxes.)
 
All amounts in (7) are allocated to each division in the proportion that (6)
bears to the accumulation value, unless the Charge Deduction Division has been
specified.
 
MEASUREMENT OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
 
INDEX OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE AND UNIT VALUE
 The investment experience of a division is determined on each valuation date.
 We use an index to measure changes in each division's experience during a
 valuation period. We set the index at $10 when the first Investments in a
 division are made, except for the OTC, Research, Total Return, Growth and
 Income, and Value + Growth Divisions, which started with indices of $14.64,
 $16.51, $13.82, $10.94, and $12.01, respectively. The index for a current
 valuation period equals the index for the preceding valuation period multi-
 plied by the experience factor for the current valuation period.
 
 We may express the value of amounts allocated to the divisions in terms of
 units. We determine the number of units for a given amount on a
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 valuation date by dividing the dollar value of that amount by the index of
 investment experience for that date. The index of investment experience is
 equal to the value of a unit.
 
HOW WE DETERMINE THE EXPERIENCE FACTOR
 For divisions of Account B the experience factor reflects the investment
 experience of the Series in which a division invests as well as the charges
 assessed against the division for a valuation period. The factor is calcu-
 lated as follows:
 
 (1) We take the net asset value of the portfolio in which the division
     invests at the end of the current valuation period.
 
 (2) We add to (1) the amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution
     declared for the investment portfolio and reinvested in such portfolio
     during the current valuation period. We subtract from that amount a
     charge for our taxes, if any.
 
 (3) We divide (2) by the net asset value of the portfolio at the end of the
     preceding valuation period.
 
 (4) We subtract the daily mortality and expense risk charge from each divi-
     sion for each day in the valuation period.
 
 (5) We subtract the daily asset based administrative charge from each divi-
     sion for each day in the valuation period.
 
 Calculations for divisions investing in a Series are made on a per share
 basis.
 
NET RATE OF RETURN FOR A DIVISION OF ACCOUNT B
 The net rate of return for a division during a valuation period is the expe-
 rience factor for that valuation period minus one.
 
CASH SURRENDER VALUE
Your contract's cash surrender value fluctuates daily with the investment
results of the divisions you have selected. We do not guarantee any minimum. On
any date before the annuity commencement date while the contract is in effect,
the cash surrender value is calculated as follows:
 
(1) We take the contract's accumulation value;
 
(2) We deduct any incurred distribution fee and any unrecovered charge for
    premium taxes. (See Charges and Fees, Premium Taxes);
 
(3) We deduct any charges incurred but not yet deducted.
 
SURRENDERING TO RECEIVE THE CASH SURRENDER VALUE
The contract may be surrendered by the owner at any time while the annuitant is
living and before the annuity commencement date.
 
A surrender will be effective on the date your written request and the contract
are received by us at our Customer Service Center and the cash surrender value
is determined accordingly as of that date. All benefits under the contract will
then be terminated as of that date. You may receive the cash surrender value in
a single sum payment or apply it under one or more annuity options. See The
Annuity Options. We will usually pay the cash surrender value within seven days
but we may delay payment as described in the When We Make Payments provision.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
Prior to the annuity commencement date, while the annuitant is living and the
contract is in effect, you may take partial withdrawals from the accumulation
value by sending satisfactory notice to the Customer Service Center. Unless you
specify otherwise, the amount of the withdrawal will be taken in proportion to
the amount of accumulation value in each division in which you are invested.
 
There are three options available for selecting partial withdrawals, the
Conventional Partial Withdrawal Option, the Systematic Partial Withdrawal
Option and the IRA Partial Withdrawal Option. All three options are described
below. Partial withdrawals may not be repaid.
 
CONVENTIONAL PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION
 After the free look period, you may take a conventional partial withdrawal
 once each contract year without charge. If you take more than one conven-
 tional partial withdrawal in a contract year, we impose a charge of the
 lesser of $25 and 2.0% of the amount withdrawn. The minimum amount you may
 withdraw under this option is $1,000. In no event may a conventional partial
 withdrawal or a combination of a conventional partial withdrawal and system-
 atic partial withdrawals received or expected to be received during the
 contract year, exceed 25% of the accumulation value as of the date of the
 current withdrawal. Also, in no event may a combination of a conventional
 partial withdrawal and IRA partial withdrawals received or expected to be
 received during a contract year, exceed 25% of the accumulation value as of
 the date of the conventional partial withdrawal.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
 
 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
SYSTEMATIC PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION
 This option may be elected at the time the application or enrollment form is
 completed, or at a later date. This option may be elected to commence in a
 contract year where a conventional partial withdrawal has been taken.
 However, it may not be elected while the IRA partial withdrawal option is in
 effect.
 
 You may choose to receive systematic partial withdrawals on a monthly or
 quarterly basis from the accumulation value in the divisions of Account B.
 The commencement of payments under this option may not be elected to start
 sooner than 28 days after the contract issue date. You select the date of the
 quarter or month when the withdrawals will be made but no later than the 28th
 day of the month. If no date is selected, the withdrawals will be made on the
 same calendar day of each month as the contract date. You may select a dollar
 amount or a percentage of the accumulation value as the amount of your with-
 drawal subject to the following maximums, but in no event can a payment be
 less than $100:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
    FREQUENCY   MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE
    ---------   ------------------
    <S>         <C>
     Monthly          1.25%
    Quarterly         3.75%
</TABLE>
 
 If a dollar amount is selected and the amount to be systematically withdrawn
 would exceed the applicable maximum percentage of the accumulation value on
 the withdrawal date, the amount withdrawn will be reduced so that it equals
 such percentage. For example, if a $2,500 monthly withdrawal was elected and
 on the withdrawal date 1.25% of the accumulation value equaled $1,500, the
 withdrawal amount would be reduced to $1,500. If a percentage is selected and
 the amount to be systematically withdrawn based on that percentage would be
 less than the minimum of $100, we would increase the amount to $100 provided
 it does not exceed the maximum percentage. If it is below the maximum
 percentage we will send the minimum. If it is above the maximum percentage we
 will send the amount and then cancel the option. For example, if you selected
 1.0% to be systematically withdrawn on a monthly basis and that amount
 equaled $90, and since $100 is less than 1.25% of the accumulation value, we
 would send $100. If 1.0% equaled $75, since $100 is more than 1.25% of the
 accumulation value we would send $75 and then cancel the option. In such a
 case, in order to receive systematic partial withdrawals in the future, you
 would be required to submit a new notice to our Customer Service Center.
 
 You may change the amount or percentage of your withdrawal once each contract
 year or cancel this option at any time by sending satisfactory notice to us
 at our Customer Service Center at least seven days prior to the next sched-
 uled withdrawal date. However, you may not change the amount or percentage of
 your withdrawals in any contract year during which you have previously taken
 a conventional partial withdrawal.
 
 In no event may a systematic partial withdrawal or a combination of a conven-
 tional partial withdrawal and systematic partial withdrawals received or
 expected to be received during the contract year, exceed 25% of the accumula-
 tion value as of the date of the current withdrawal.
 
IRA PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION
 If you have an IRA contract and will attain age 70 1/2 in the current
 calendar year, distributions will be made to you to satisfy requirements
 imposed by Federal tax law. IRA partial withdrawals provide payout of amounts
 required to be distributed by the Internal Revenue Service rules governing
 mandatory distributions under qualified plans. See Federal Tax Considera-
 tions, Taxation of Individual Retirement Annuities. We will send you a notice
 before your distributions must commence, and you may elect this option at
 that time, or at a later date. You may not elect IRA partial withdrawals
 while the systematic partial withdrawal option is in effect. If you do not
 elect the IRA partial withdrawal option, and distributions are required by
 Federal tax law, distributions adequate to satisfy the requirements imposed
 by Federal tax law will be made. Thus, if the systematic partial withdrawal
 option is in effect, distribution under that option must be adequate to
 satisfy the mandatory distribution rules imposed by Federal tax law.
 
 You may choose to receive IRA partial withdrawals on a monthly, quarterly or
 annual frequency. You select the day of the month when the withdrawals will
 be made, but it cannot be later than the 28th day of the month. If no date is
 selected, the withdrawals will be made on the same calendar day of the month
 as the contract date.
 
 We will determine the amount that is required to be withdrawn from your
 contract each year based on the information you give us and various choices
 you make. For information

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 regarding the calculation and choices you have to make, see the Statement of
 Additional Information. The minimum dollar amount you can withdraw is $100.
 At the time we determine the required partial withdrawal amount for a taxable
 year based on the frequency you select, if that amount is less than $100, we
 will pay $100. At any time where the partial withdrawal amount is greater
 than the accumulation value, we will cancel the contract and send you the
 amount of the cash surrender value.
 
 You may change the payment frequency of your withdrawals once each contract
 year or cancel this option at any time by sending us satisfactory notice to
 our Customer Service Center at least seven days prior to the next scheduled
 withdrawal date.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS IN GENERAL
 CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH
 TAKING PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. A partial withdrawal made before the taxpayer
 reaches age 59 1/2 may result in imposition of a tax penalty of 10% of the
 taxable portion withdrawn. Please refer to Federal Tax Considerations for
 more details.
 
PROCEEDS PAYABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY
If either the annuitant (when there is no contingent annuitant) or owner dies
prior to the annuity commencement date, we will pay the beneficiary the death
benefit proceeds under the contract. Such amount may be received in a single
sum or applied to any of the annuity options. See The Annuity Options. If we
do not receive a request to apply the death benefit proceeds to an annuity
option, a single sum distribution will be made. We may reduce the death
benefit proceeds payable under certain group or sponsored arrangements. See
Group or Sponsored Arrangements.
 
If the annuitant and owner are both age 75 or younger at issue the death
benefit is the greater of the accumulation value and the guaranteed death
benefit.
 
MAXIMUM GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT
 This amount is calculated as follows:
 
 (1) We determine the total premiums paid;
 
 (2) We multiply (1) by two;
 
 (3) We determine the total partial withdrawals taken; and
 
 (4) We subtract (3) from (2).
 
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT
 On the contract date the guaranteed death benefit is equal to the initial
 premium. On subsequent valuation dates, the guaranteed death benefit is
 calculated as follows:
 
 (1) We take the guaranteed death benefit from the prior valuation date;
 
 (2) We calculate interest on (1) for the current valuation period at an
     annual rate of 7% (the guaranteed death benefit interest rate), except
     that with respect to amounts in the Liquid Asset Division, the interest
     rate applied to such amounts will be the net rate of return for the
     Liquid Asset Division during the current valuation period, if it is less
     than 7%;
 
 (3) We add (1) and (2);
 
 (4) We add to (3) any additional premiums paid during the current valuation
     period; and,
 
 (5) We subtract from (4) any partial withdrawals made during the current
     valuation period.
 
 If (5) is greater than the maximum guaranteed death benefit, we will pay the
 maximum guaranteed death benefit.
 
 If the annuitant or owner is age 76 or older at issue, the death benefit is
 the greater of:
 
 (1) The cash surrender value; and
 
 (2) The sum of the premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals.
 
HOW TO CLAIM PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIARY
 We must receive due proof of the death of the annuitant or owner (such as an
 official death certificate) at our Customer Service Center before we will
 make any payments to the beneficiary. We will calculate the death benefit as
 of the date we receive due proof of death. The beneficiary should contact our
 Customer Service Center for instructions.
 
REPORTS TO OWNERS
We will send you a report once each contract quarter within 31 days after the
end of each contract quarter. The report will show the accumulation value, the
cash surrender value, and the death benefit as of the end of the contract
quarter.
 
The report will also show the allocation of the accumulation value as of such
date and the amounts deducted from or added to the accumulation value since
the last report. The report will also include any other information that may
be currently required by the insurance supervisory official of the jurisdic-
tion in which the contract is delivered.
 
                                      24

 FACTS ABOUT THE CONTRACT (CONTINUED)
 
 
We will also send you copies of any shareholder reports of the portfolios or
securities in which Account B invests, as well as any other reports, notices or
documents required by law to be furnished to contract owners.
 
WHEN WE MAKE PAYMENTS
We will pay death benefit proceeds and the cash surrender value within seven
days after our Customer Service Center receives all the information needed to
process the payment.
 
However, we may delay payment of amounts derived from the divisions if it is
not practical for us to value or dispose of shares of Account B because:
 
(1) The NYSE is closed for trading;
 
(2) The SEC determines that a state of emergency exists;
 
(3) An order or pronouncement of the SEC permits a delay for the protection of
    contract owners; or,
 
(4) The check used to pay the premium has not cleared through the banking
    system. This may take up to 15 days.
 
During such times, as to amounts allocated to the divisions, we may delay:
 
(1) Determination and payment of any cash surrender value;
 
(2) Determination and payment of any death benefit if death occurs before the
    annuity commencement date;
 
(3) Allocation changes of the accumulation value; or,
 
(4) Application under an annuity option of the accumulation value.
 
 CHARGES AND FEES
 
CHARGE DEDUCTION DIVISION
You may specify on the application or enrollment form if you wish to use the
Charge Deduction Division Option. If you so specify, all charges against the
accumulation value will be deducted from the Liquid Asset Division. If the
amount of the charge is greater than the amount in the division, the charge
will be deducted proportionately from all the divisions in which you are
invested. You may also choose to elect or cancel this option while the contract
is in force by sending us satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center.
If you do not elect this option, the charges will be deducted proportionately
from all the divisions in which you are invested.
 
CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM THE ACCUMULATION VALUE
We invest the entire amount of the initial and any additional premium payments
in the divisions you select, subject to certain restrictions. See Restrictions
on Allocation of Premium Payments. We then periodically deduct certain amounts
from your accumulation value. We may reduce certain fees and charges, including
any distribution fees, surrender, administration, and mortality and expense
risk charges, under group or sponsored arrangements. See Group or Sponsored
Arrangements. Charges are deducted proportionately from all divisions in which
you are invested, unless you have elected the Charge Deduction Division. The
charges we deduct are:
 
DISTRIBUTION FEE
 We deduct a sales load in an annual amount of 0.65% of each premium. This
 charge is incurred at the beginning of each contract processing period and
 deducted at the end of each contract processing period (or at the time of
 surrender if surrendered before the end of a contract processing period) for
 a period of ten years from the date we receive and accept each premium
 payment.
 
 We also offer a DVA through another prospectus, which is a contract with a
 different charging structure.
 
PREMIUM TAXES
 We make a charge for state and local premium taxes in certain states which
 can range from 0% to 3.5% of premium. The charge depends on the annuitant's
 state of residence. We reserve the right to change this amount to conform
 with changes in the law or if the annuitant or owner changes state of resi-
 dence, as applicable.
 
 Premium taxes are generally incurred on the annuity commencement date and a
 charge for such premium taxes is then deducted from your accumulation value
 on such date. However, some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time
 the initial and additional premiums are paid, regardless of the annuity
 commencement date. In those states we initially advance the amount of the
 charge for premium taxes to your accumulation value and then deduct it in
 equal installments on each contract processing date over a six year period,
 as applicable.
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
 
 CHARGES AND FEES (CONTINUED)
 
 
 Currently, in those states where we advance the charge for premium taxes, we
 will waive the deduction of the applicable installments of the charge for
 premium taxes on each contract processing date. However, we will deduct the
 unrecovered charge for premium taxes (not including installments which were
 waived) when determining the cash surrender value payable if you surrender
 your contract. We reserve the right to deduct the total amount of the charge
 for premium taxes previously waived and unrecovered on the annuity commence-
 ment date.
 
 In those cases when we advance the charge for premium taxes, since the charge
 for premium taxes is advanced to the accumulation value, a positive net rate
 of return will give a higher cash surrender value and a negative net rate of
 return will give a lower cash surrender value than would be the case had the
 charge for premium taxes been deducted from your premium payment.
 
EXCESS ALLOCATION CHARGE
 We allow you five free allocation changes between divisions per contract
 year. For each additional allocation change, we will charge you $25 at the
 time each allocation change is processed. This amount represents the maximum
 we will charge. The charge is deducted from the division(s) from which each
 such reallocation is made in proportion to the amount being transferred from
 each such division unless you have chosen to use the Charge Deduction Divi-
 sion. The excess allocation charge is set at a level that is not designed to
 produce profit for Golden American or any affiliate. Any allocation(s) or
 transfer(s) due to the election of the Dollar Cost Averaging Option and real-
 location under the provision What Happens if a Division is Not Available will
 not be included in determining if the excess allocation charge should apply.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
 If you take more than one conventional partial withdrawal during a contract
 year, we impose a charge of the lesser of $25 and 2.0% of the amount with-
 drawn for each additional conventional partial withdrawal. The charge is
 deducted from the division(s) from which each such partial withdrawal is made
 in proportion to the amount being withdrawn from each division unless you
 have chosen to use the Charge Deduction Division. See Partial Withdrawals,
 Conventional Partial Withdrawal Option.
 
CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM THE DIVISIONS
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge The daily charge is at the rate of 0.003446%
(equivalent to an annual rate of 1.25%) on the assets in each division. Approx-
imately 0.60% of this annual charge is allocated to the mortality risk and
0.65% is allocated to the expense risk.
 
This charge will compensate us for mortality and expense risks we assume under
the contract. We will realize a gain from this charge to the extent it is not
needed to provide for benefits and expenses under the contract. We will use any
gain for any lawful purpose including any shortfalls on paying distribution
expenses.
 
The mortality risk assumed is the risk that annuitants as a group will live for
a longer time than our actuarial tables predict. As a result, we would be
paying more in annuity income than we planned. Golden American also assumes a
risk under the contract for paying a guaranteed death benefit.
 
The expense risk assumed is the risk that it will cost us more to issue and
administer the contract than we expect.
 
ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 We will deduct a daily charge from the assets in each division of the
 Accounts, to compensate Golden American for administrative expenses under the
 contract. The daily charge is at a rate of 0.000276% (equivalent to an annual
 rate of 0.10%) on the assets in each division.
 
 This asset based administrative charge will not exceed the cost of the serv-
 ices to be provided over the life of the contract.
 
TRUST EXPENSES
There are fees and charges deducted from each Series of the GCG Trust and the
ESS Trust. Please read the respective Trust prospectus for details.
 
 CHOOSING AN INCOME PLAN
 
THE INCOME PLAN
If the annuitant and owner are living on the annuity commencement date, we will
begin making payments to the annuitant under an income plan. We will make these
payments under the annuity option chosen in the application or enrollment form
or as subsequently changed. You may change an annuity option by making a
written request to us at least 30 days prior to the annuity commencement date
of the contract. The
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
 
 CHOOSING AN INCOME PLAN (CONTINUED)
 
amount of the payments will be determined by applying the accumulation value
on the annuity commencement date in accordance with The Annuity Options
section below. See When We Make Payments.
 
You may also elect an annuity option on surrender of the contract for its cash
surrender value or, you may choose one or more annuity options for the payment
of death benefit proceeds while it is in effect and before the annuity
commencement date. If, at the time of the annuitant's or owner's death, no
option has been chosen for paying death benefit proceeds, the beneficiary may
choose an option within one year.
 
The minimum monthly annuity income payment that we will make is $20. We may
require that a single sum payment be made if the accumulation value is less
than $2,000 or if the calculated monthly annuity income payment is less than
$20. For each option we will issue a separate written agreement putting the
option into effect. Before we pay any annuity benefits, we require the return
of the contract. If your contract has been lost, we will require that you
complete and return the applicable lost contract form. Various factors will
affect the level of annuity benefits including the annuity option chosen, the
assumed interest rate used and the investment results of the division(s) in
which the accumulation value has been invested.
 
Fixed annuity payments are regular payments, the amount of which is fixed and
guaranteed by us. The amount of the payments will depend only on the form and
duration of payments chosen, the age of the annuitant or beneficiary (and sex,
where appropriate), the total accumulation value applied to purchase the fixed
option, and the applicable payment rate.
 
Our approval is needed for any option where:
 
(1) The person named to receive payment is other than the owner or benefi-
    ciary;
 
(2) The person named is not a natural person, such as a corporation; or
 
(3) Any income payment would be less than the minimum annuity income payment
    allowed.
 
ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE SELECTION
You select the annuity commencement date in the application or enrollment
form. You may select any date following the third contract anniversary but
before the contract processing date in the month following the annuitant's
90th birthday. If you do not select a date, the annuity commencement date will
be in the month following the annuitant's 90th birthday. However, in the state
of Pennsylvania the annuity commencement date may not be later than in the
month following the annuitant's 85th birthday for annuitants with an issue age
of 80 and under. If the annuity commencement date occurs when the annuitant is
at an advanced age, such as over age 85, it is possible that the contract will
not be considered an annuity for Federal tax purposes. See Federal Tax Consid-
erations. For a contract purchased in connection with a qualified plan,
distribution must commence not later than April 1st of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2. Consult your tax
advisor.
 
FREQUENCY SELECTION
You choose the frequency of the annuity payments. They may be monthly, quar-
terly, semi-annually or annually. If we do not receive written notice from
you, the payments will be made monthly. There may be certain restrictions on
minimum payments that we will allow.
 
THE ANNUITY OPTIONS
There are four options to choose from as shown below. Options 1 through 3 are
fixed and option 4 is variable. For a fixed option, the accumulation value is
transferred to the general account.
 
OPTION 1. INCOME FOR A FIXED PERIOD
 Payment is made in equal installments for a fixed number of years based on
 the accumulation value as of the annuity commencement date. We guarantee that
 each monthly payment will be at least the amount set forth in the contract.
 Guaranteed amounts for annual, semi-annual and quarterly payments are avail-
 able upon request. Illustrations are available upon request. If the cash
 surrender value or accumulation value is applied under this option, a 10%
 penalty tax may apply to the taxable portion of each income payment until the
 annuitant reaches age 59 1/2.
 
OPTION 2. INCOME FOR LIFE
 Payment is made in equal monthly installments and guaranteed for at least a
 period certain. The period certain can be 10 or 20 years. Other periods
 certain are available on request. A refund certain may be chosen instead.
 Under this arrangement, income is guaranteed until payments equal the amount
 applied. If the person named lives beyond the guaranteed period, payments
 continue until his or her death.
 
 We guarantee that each payment will be at least the amount set forth in the
 contract corre-
 
                                      27

 CHOOSING AN INCOME PLAN (CONTINUED)
 
 sponding to the person's age on his or her last birthday before the option's
 effective date. Amounts for ages not shown in the contract are available upon
 request.
 
OPTION 3. JOINT LIFE INCOME
 This option is available if there are two persons named to receive payments.
 At least one of the persons named must be either the owner or beneficiary of
 the contract. Monthly payments are guaranteed and are made as long as at
 least one of the named persons is living. There is no minimum number of
 payments. Monthly payment amounts are available upon request.
 
OPTION 4. ANNUITY PLAN
 An amount can be used to buy any single premium annuity we offer on the
 option's effective date.
 
PAYMENT WHEN NAMED PERSON DIES
When the person named to receive payment dies, we will pay any amounts still
due as provided by the option agreement. The amounts still due are determined
as follows:
 
(1) For options 1, 2, or any remaining guaranteed payments, payments will be
    continued. Under options 1 and 2, the discounted values of the remaining
    guaranteed payments may be paid in a single sum. This means we deduct the
    amount of the interest each remaining guaranteed payment would have earned
    had it not been paid out early. The discount interest rate is 3% for
    option 1 and 3.50% for option 2 per year. We will however, base the
    discount interest rate on the interest rate used to calculate the payments
    for options 1 and 2 if such payments were not based on the tables in the
    contract.
 
(2) For option 3, no amounts are payable after both named persons have died.
 
(3) For option 4, the annuity agreement will state the amount due, if any.
 
 OTHER INFORMATION
 
OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS
 
IN CASE OF ERRORS ON THE APPLICATION OR ENROLLMENT FORM
 If an age or sex given in the application or enrollment form is misstated,
 the amounts payable or benefits provided by the contract shall be those that
 the premium payment would have bought at the correct age or sex.
 
SENDING NOTICE TO US
 Any written notices, inquiries or requests should be sent to our Customer
 Service Center. Please include your name, your contract number and, if you
 are not the annuitant, the name of the annuitant.
 
ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT AS COLLATERAL
 You may assign a non-qualified contract as collateral security for a loan or
 other obligation. This does not change the ownership. However, your rights
 and any beneficiary's rights are subject to the terms of the assignment. See
 Additional Considerations, Transfer of Annuity Contracts, and Assignments. An
 assignment may have Federal tax consequences. See Federal Tax Considerations.
 
 You must give us satisfactory written notice at our Customer Service Center
 in order to make or release an assignment. We are not responsible for the
 validity of any assignment.
 
NON-PARTICIPATING
 The contract does not participate in the divisible surplus of Golden Ameri-
 can.
 
AUTHORITY TO MAKE AGREEMENTS
 All agreements made by us must be signed by our president or a vice president
 and by our secretary or an assistant secretary. No other person, including an
 insurance agent or broker, can change any of the contract's terms, make any
 agreements binding on us or extend the time for premium payments.
 
CONTRACT CHANGES -- APPLICABLE TAX LAW
We reserve the right to make changes in the contract to the extent we deem it
necessary to continue to qualify the contract as an annuity. Any such changes
will apply uniformly to all contracts that are affected. You will be given
advance written notice of such changes.
 
YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL OR EXCHANGE YOUR CONTRACT
 
CANCELLING YOUR CONTRACT
 You may cancel your contract within your free look period, which is ten days
 after you receive your contract. For purposes of administering our allocation
 and administrative rules, we deem this period to expire 15 days after the
 contract is mailed to you. Some states may require a longer free look period.
 If you decide to cancel, you may mail or deliver the contract to us at our
 Customer Service Center. We will refund the
 
                                      28

 OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
 
 accumulation value plus any charges we deducted, and the contract will be
 voided as of the date we receive the contract and your request. Some states
 require that we return the premium paid. In these states, we require that
 your premium be allocated to the Specially Designated Division during the
 free look period. If you exercise your right to cancel, we will return the
 greater of (a) the premium invested and (b) the accumulation value of your
 contract plus any amounts deducted under the contract or by the Trust for
 taxes, charges or fees. If you do not choose to exercise your right to cancel
 during the free look period, then at the end of the free look period your
 money will be invested in the division(s) chosen by you, based on the index
 of investment experience next computed for each division. See Measurement of
 Investment Experience, Index of Experience and Unit Value.
 
EXCHANGING YOUR CONTRACT
   
 For information regarding exchanges under Section 1035 of the Internal
 Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, see Federal Tax Considerations.
    
 
OTHER CONTRACT CHANGES
You may change the contract to another annuity plan subject to our rules at the
time of the change.
 
GROUP OR SPONSORED ARRANGEMENTS
For certain group or sponsored arrangements, we may reduce any distribution
fee, surrender, administration, and mortality and expense risk charges. We may
also change the minimum initial and additional premium requirements, or reduce
the death benefit proceeds payable. Group arrangements include those in which a
trustee or an employer, for example, purchases contracts covering a group of
individuals on a group basis. Sponsored arrangements include those in which an
employer allows us to sell contracts to its employees on an individual basis.
 
Our costs for sales, administration, and mortality generally vary with the size
and stability of the group among other factors. We take all these factors into
account when reducing charges. To qualify for reduced charges, a group or spon-
sored arrangement must meet certain requirements, including our requirements
for size and number of years in existence. Group or sponsored arrangements that
have been set up solely to buy contracts or that have been in existence less
than six months will not qualify for reduced charges.
 
We will make these and any similar reductions according to our rules in effect
when an application or enrollment form for a contract is approved. We may
change these rules from time to time. Any variation in the distribution fee
will reflect differences in costs or services and will not be unfairly discrim-
inatory.
 
SELLING THE CONTRACT
DSI is also principal underwriter and distributor of the contract as well as
for other contracts issued through Account B and other separate accounts of
Golden American. We pay DSI for acting as principal underwriter under a distri-
bution agreement. The offering of the contract will be continuous.
 
DSI has entered into and will continue to enter into sales agreements with
broker-dealers to solicit for the sale of the contract through registered
representatives who are licensed to sell securities and variable insurance
products including variable annuities. These agreements provide that applica-
tions for contracts may be solicited by registered representatives of the
broker-dealers appointed by Golden American to sell its variable life insurance
and variable annuities. These broker-dealers are registered with the SEC and
are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
The registered representatives are authorized under applicable state regula-
tions to sell variable life insurance and variable annuities. The writing agent
will receive commissions of up to 0.75% of average annual contract assets per
year over the life of the contract.
 
REINSURANCE
Golden American reinsures its mortality risk associated with the contract's
guaranteed death benefit with one or more appropriately licensed insurance
companies. Golden American also, effective June 1, 1994, entered into a rein-
surance agreement on a modified coinsurance basis with an affiliate of a
broker-dealer which distributes Golden American's products with respect to 25%
of the business produced by that broker-dealer.
 
 REGULATORY INFORMATION
 
VOTING RIGHTS
We will vote the shares of the Trusts owned by Account B according to your
instructions. However, if the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any related
regulations should change, or if interpretations of it or related regulations
should change, and we decide that we are permitted to

 REGULATORY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
 
vote the shares of the Trusts in our own right, we may decide to do so.
 
We determine the number of shares that you have in a division by dividing the
contract's accumulation value in that division by the net asset value of one
share of the portfolio in which a division invests. Fractional votes will be
counted. We will determine the number of shares you can instruct us to vote
180 days or less before a Trust's meeting. We will ask you for voting instruc-
tions by mail at least 10 days before the meeting.
 
If we do not get your instructions in time, we will vote the shares in the
same proportion as the instructions received from all contracts in that divi-
sion. We will also vote shares we hold in Account B which are not attributable
to owners in the same proportion.
 
STATE REGULATION
We are regulated and supervised by the Insurance Department of the State of
Delaware, which periodically examines our financial condition and operations.

Insurance Departments of other jurisdictions.
 
We are required to submit annual statements of our operations, including
financial statements, to the Insurance Departments of the various jurisdic-
tions in which we do business to determine solvency and compliance with state

 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
INTRODUCTION
The contract is designed for use by individuals or groups in retirement plans
which are qualified under Section 408 or non-qualified under the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The ultimate
effect of Federal income taxes on the amounts paid for the contract, on the
investment return on assets held under the contract, on annuity payments and
on the economic benefits to the owner, annuitant or beneficiary depends upon
the terms of the contract, upon Golden American's tax status and upon the tax
status of the individuals concerned.
 
The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax
advice. Each person concerned should consult a competent tax advisor. No
attempt is made to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. Moreover,
the discussion is based upon Golden American's understanding of the Federal
income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. No representation is made
regarding the likelihood of continuation of the Federal income tax laws, the
Treasury Regulations, or the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS"). For a discussion of Federal income taxes as they relate
to the Trusts, please see the accompanying prospectus for the respective
Trust.
 
GOLDEN AMERICAN TAX STATUS
Golden American is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of
Subchapter L of the Code. Since Account B is not a separate entity from Golden
American and its operations form a part of Golden American, it will not be
taxed separately as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the
Code. Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of Account B
are reinvested and taken into account in determining the accumulation value.
Under existing Federal income tax law, Golden American does not

 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
incur tax on Account B's investment income, including realized net capital
gains. Golden American reserves the right to make a deduction for taxes should
they be imposed with respect to such items in the future.
 
TAXATION OF NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITIES
 
1. IN GENERAL
 Code (S)72 generally governs the taxation of non-qualified annuities. Under
 this provision, except as described below, any increase in the contract's
 value is generally not taxable to the owner until a distribution is made from
 the contract, either in the form of annuity payments as contemplated by the
 contract, or in some other form of distribution. (For purposes of this rule,
 the amount of any indebtedness that is secured by a pledge or assignment of
 the contract is treated as a payment received on account of a partial with-
 drawal from the contract.) However, this rule applies only if (1) the Invest-
 ments of Account B are "adequately diversified" in accordance with Treasury
 Department regulations, (2) Golden American, rather than the owner, is
 considered the owner of the assets of Account B for Federal income tax pur-
 poses, and (3) the owner is an individual.
 
  Diversification Requirements. Treasury Department regulations ("Regula-
  tions") issued under Code (S)817 (h) prescribe the manner in which the
  Investments of a segregated asset account, such as Account B, are to be
  "adequately diversified." The Regulations generally require that on the
  last day of each quarter of a calendar year (i) no more than 55% of the
  value of each segregated asset account is represented by any one invest-
  ment; (ii) no more than 70% is represented by any two Investments; (iii) no
  more than 80% is represented by any three Investments; and (iv) no more
  than 90% is represented by any four Investments. For purposes of complying
  with these requirements, all securities of the same issuer are treated as a
  single investment, and each U.S. government agency or instrumentality will
  be treated as a separate issuer. In addition, where a segregated asset
  account invests in other regulated investment companies or certain other
  entities (e.g., the divisions of Account B do), a "look-through" rule
  applies and, as a result, each division of an account must be tested for
  compliance with the percentage limitations by looking through to the assets
  of that division.
 
  If Account B failed to comply with these diversification standards, the
  contract would not be treated as an annuity contract for Federal income tax
  purposes and the owner would generally be taxable currently on the income
  on the contract (as defined in the tax law) beginning with the first period
  of non-diversification. Golden American expects that Account B, including
  each of the divisions, will comply with the diversification requirements
  prescribed by the Regulations.
 
  Ownership Treatment. In certain circumstances, variable annuity contract
  owners may be considered the owners, for Federal income tax purposes, of
  the assets of the segregated asset account, such as Account B, used to
  support their contracts. In those circumstances, income and gains from the
  segregated asset account would be includible in the contract owners' gross
  income. The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract
  owner will be considered the owner of the assets of the segregated asset
  account if the owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such
  as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. In addition,
  the Treasury Department announced, in connection with the issuance of regu-
  lations concerning investment diversification, that those regulations "do
  not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control
  of the Investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor,
  rather than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets
  in the account." This announcement also stated that guidance would be
  issued by way of regulations or rulings on the "extent to which policy-
  holders may direct their Investments to particular sub-accounts [of a
  segregated asset account] without being treated as owners of the underlying
  assets." As of the date of this prospectus, no such guidance has been
  issued.
 
  The ownership rights under the contract are similar to, but different in
  certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it
  was determined that contract owners were not owners of the assets of a
  segregated asset account. For example, the owner of this contract has the
  choice of more investment options to which to allocate premium payments and
  accumulation values, and may be able to transfer among investment options
  more frequently, than in such rulings. In addition, the owner of this
  contract has the choice
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
  of certain investment options which may be more similar to each other in
  their investment Objectives than in such rulings. These differences could
  result in the owner being treated as the owner of a portion of the assets
  of Account B. In addition, Golden American does not know what standards
  will be set forth in the regulations or rulings which the Treasury Depart-
  ment has stated it expects to issue. Golden American therefore reserves the
  right to modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent contract
  owners from being considered the owners of the assets of Account B.
 
  Frequently, if the IRS or the Treasury Department sets forth a new position
  which is adverse to taxpayers, the position is applied on a prospective
  basis only. Thus, if the IRS or the Treasury Department were to issue regu-
  lations or a ruling which treated an owner of this contract as the owner of
  Account B, that treatment might apply on a prospective basis. However, if
  the ruling or regulations were not considered to set forth a new position,
  an owner might retroactively be determined to be the owner of the assets of
  Account B.
 
  Non-Natural Owner. As a general rule, contracts held by "non-natural
  persons" such as a corporation, trust or other similar entity, as opposed
  to a natural person, are not treated as annuity contracts for Federal tax
  purposes. The income on such contracts (as defined in the tax law) is taxed
  as ordinary income that is received or accrued by the owner of the contract
  during the taxable year. There are several exceptions to this general rule
  for non-natural owners. First, contracts will generally be treated as held
  by a natural person if the nominal owner is a trust or other entity which
  holds the contract as an agent for a natural person. However, this special
  exception will not apply in the case of any employer who is the nominal
  owner of a contract under a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement
  for its employees.
 
  In addition, exceptions to the general rule for non-natural owners will
  apply with respect to (1) contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent by
  reason of the death of the decedent, (2) contracts issued in connection
  with certain qualified plans, (3) contracts purchased by employers upon the
  termination of certain qualified plans, (4) certain contracts used in
  connection with structured settlement agreements, and (5) contracts
  purchased with a single purchase payment when the annuity starting date is
  no later than a year from purchase of the contract and substantially equal
  periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the
  annuity period.
 
  In addition to the foregoing, if the contract's annuity commencement date
  occurs at a time when the annuitant is at an advanced age, such as over age
  85, it is possible that the owner will be taxable currently on the annual
  increase in the accumulation value. The remainder of this discussion
  assumes that the contract will be treated as an annuity contract for
  Federal income tax purposes.
 
2. WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
 Code (S)72 provides that the proceeds of a total surrender of a contract
 prior to the annuity commencement date will be taxed to the extent that the
 amount distributed exceeds the "investment in the contract" and that any
 conventional or systematic partial withdrawal from a contract prior to the
 annuity commencement date will be treated as taxable income to the extent the
 amount held under the contract immediately before the withdrawal occurs
 exceeds the "investment in the contract." The "investment in the contract" is
 defined in the Code as that portion, if any, of premium payments by or on
 behalf of an individual under a contract which was not excluded from the
 individual's gross income at the time of such payment less any amounts previ-
 ously received under the contract which were excluded from the individual's
 gross income at the time of their receipt. The taxable portion of any distri-
 bution received prior to the annuity commencement date will be subject to tax
 at ordinary income tax rates. For purposes of this rule, a pledge or assign-
 ment of a contract is treated as a payment received on account of a partial
 withdrawal of a contract.
 
 In the case of systematic partial withdrawals, the amount of each withdrawal
 should be considered as a distribution and taxed in the same manner as a
 partial withdrawal prior to the annuity commencement date, as described
 above. However, there is some uncertainty regarding the tax treatment of
 systematic partial withdrawals, and it is possible that additional amounts
 may be includible in income.
 
 In addition, the contract provides a death benefit that in certain circum-
 stances may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the accu-
 
                                      32

 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 mulation value. As described elsewhere in this prospectus, Golden American
 imposes certain charges with respect to, among other things, the death bene-
 fit. It is possible that some portion of those charges could be treated for
 Federal tax purposes as a partial withdrawal from the contract.
 
3. ANNUITY PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
 Proceeds of a total surrender of the contract after the annuity commencement
 date are taxable to the extent the proceeds exceed the investment in the
 contract. In addition, proceeds of a partial withdrawal after the annuity
 commencement date are fully taxable. Also, a portion of each annuity payment
 under the contract is taxable if the value of the contract exceeds the
 investment in the contract. The taxable portion of an annuity payment will be
 subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates.
 
 For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is determined
 by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio," which establishes the
 ratio that the investment in the contract (allocated to the fixed annuity
 option) bears to the total expected amount of fixed annuity payments for the
 term of the contract. That ratio is then applied to each payment to determine
 the non-taxable portion of the payment. The remaining portion of each payment
 is taxed at ordinary income rates.
 
 For variable annuity payments, in general, the taxable portion is determined
 by a formula which establishes a specific dollar amount of each payment that
 is not taxed. The dollar amount is determined by dividing the investment in
 the contract (allocated to the variable annuity option) by the total number
 of expected periodic payments. The remaining portion of each payment is taxed
 at ordinary income rates.
 
 Once the excludable portion of annuity payments to date equals the investment
 in the contract, the balance of the annuity payments will be fully taxable.
 
 If amounts have become payable under the contract (such as where the owner
 elects to surrender an amount) and if the distribution-at-death rules do not
 apply to such amount, the amount will be treated as a partial or full
 surrender for Federal income tax purposes if applied under an annuity option
 later than 60 days after the time when the amount became payable. Thus, if
 such an amount is applied under an annuity option after the 60 day period, it
 will be treated as a partial or full surrender, even if the full amount has
 not been distributed from the contract.
 
4. WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
 Golden American will withhold and remit to the U.S. government a part of the
 taxable portion of each distribution made under a contract unless the
 taxpayer notifies Golden American at or before the time of the distribution
 that he or she elects not to have any amounts withheld. The withholding rates
 applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments typically are
 the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages.
 In addition, the withholding rate applicable to the taxable portion of non-
 periodic payments (including surrenders prior to the annuity commencement
 date) is 10%. Golden American also has tax reporting obligations with respect
 to distributions from the contract.
 
5. PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN WITHDRAWALS
 With respect to amounts withdrawn or distributed before the taxpayer reaches
 age 59 1/2, a penalty tax is imposed equal to 10% of the taxable portion of
 amounts withdrawn or distributed. However, the penalty tax will not apply to
 withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the owner, or where the owner
 is not an individual, the death of the "primary annuitant" (i.e., the indi-
 vidual the events in whose life are of primary importance in affecting the
 timing or amount of the payout under the contract); (ii) attributable to the
 taxpayer's becoming totally disabled within the meaning of Code (S)72(m)(7);
 (iii) which are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
 made at least annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer, or
 the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his benefi-
 ciary; (iv) from a qualified plan; (v) allocable to investment in the
 contract before August 14, 1982; (vi) under a qualified funding asset (as
 defined in Code (S)130(d)); (vii) under an immediate annuity contract, or
 (viii) which are purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of
 qualified plans and which are held by the employer until the employee sepa-
 rates from service.
 
 If the penalty tax does not apply to a withdrawal as a result of the applica-
 tion of item (iii) above, and the series of payments is subsequently modified
 (other than by reason of death or disability), the tax for the year when the
 modi-
 
                                       33

 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 fication occurs will be increased by an amount (as determined by regulations)
 equal to the tax that would have been imposed but for item (iii) above, plus
 interest for the deferral period, if the modification takes place (a) before
 the close of the period which is within five years of the date of the first
 payment and after the taxpayer attains age 59 1/2, or (b) before the taxpayer
 reaches age 59 1/2.
 
 In the case of systematic withdrawals, it is unclear whether such withdrawals
 will qualify for exception (iii) above.
 
TAXATION OF INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
Code (S)408 permits individuals or their employers to contribute to an indi-
vidual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity. If the
contract is used for this purpose, the owner must be the annuitant. In addi-
tion, distributions from certain other types of qualified retirement plans may
be placed into an Individual Retirement Annuity on a tax deferred basis.
 
Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount which
may be contributed and the time when distributions may commence. Tax penalties
may apply to contributions in excess of specified limits, loans or assign-
ments, distributions in excess of a specified amount annually or that do not
meet specified requirements, and in certain other circumstances.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, distributions from qualified retirement
plans, including Individual Retirement Annuities, Simplified Employee
Pensions, and Tax Sheltered Annuities, generally must begin not later than
April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which an owner
attains age 70 1/2. If the required minimum distribution is not withdrawn,
there may be a penalty tax in an amount equal to 50% of the difference between
the amount required to be withdrawn and the amount actually withdrawn. See the
Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of the various special
rules concerning the minimum distribution requirements.
 
If all premium payments made to an Individual Retirement Annuity were deduct-
ible, all amounts distributed from the contract are included in the recipi-
ent's income when distributed. However, if nondeductible premium payments were
made to the Individual Retirement Annuity (within the limits allowed by the
tax law), a portion of each distribution from the contract typically is
included in income when it is distributed. In such a case, any amount distrib-
uted as an annuity payment or in a lump sum upon death or a full surrender is
taxed as described above in connection with such a distribution from a non-
qualified contract, treating the investment in the contract as the sum of the
non-deductible premium payments at the end of the taxable year in which the
distribution commences or is made (less any amounts previously distributed
that were excluded from income). Also in such a case, any amount distributed
upon a partial surrender is partially includible in income. The includible
amount is the excess of the distribution over the exclusion amount, which in
turn equals the distribution multiplied by the ratio of the investment in the
contract to the amount held under the contract. The amount includible in
income may be subject to a 10% penalty tax if the recipient is under age 59
1/2.
 
Individual Retirement Annuities generally may not provide life insurance
coverage, but they may provide a death benefit that equals the greater of the
premiums paid and the contract value. The contract provides a death benefit
that in certain circumstances may exceed the greater of the premium payments
and the accumulation value. It is possible that the death benefit could be
viewed as violating the prohibition on investment in life insurance contracts
with the result that the contract would not be viewed as satisfying the
requirements of an IRA.
 
Subject to certain direct rollover and mandatory withholding requirements
(discussed below), amounts generally may be "rolled over" from a qualified
retirement plan to an Individual Retirement Annuity (or from an Individual
Retirement Annuity or individual retirement account to an Individual Retire-
ment Annuity) without incurring tax if certain conditions are met. Only
certain types of distributions from qualified retirement plans or Individual
Retirement Annuities may be rolled over.
 
In the case of annuity contracts used in connection with a pension, profit-
sharing, or annuity plan qualified under Code (S)401(a) or 403(a), or in the
case of a Code (S)403(b) "Tax Sheltered Annuity," any "eligible rollover
distribution" from the contract will be subject to direct rollover and manda-
tory withholding requirements. An eligible rollover distribution generally is
any taxable distribution from a qualified pension plan under Code (S)401(a),
qualified annuity plan under Code (S)403(a), or Code (S)403(b) Tax Sheltered
Annuity or custodial account, excluding certain amounts (such as minimum
distributions required under Code (S)401(a)(9) and distributions which are
part of a "se-
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
 FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
ries of substantially equal periodic payments" made for life or a specified
period of 10 years or more. Under these requirements, withholding at a rate of
20 percent will be imposed on any eligible rollover distribution. In addition,
the participant in these qualified retirement plans cannot elect out of with-
holding with respect to an eligible rollover distribution. However, this 20
percent withholding will not apply if, instead of receiving the eligible
rollover distribution, the participant elects to have amounts directly trans-
ferred to certain qualified retirement plans (such as to this contract when
issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity). It is important that you consult
your tax advisor before purchasing an Individual Retirement Annuity.
 
 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
 
DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
In order to be treated as an annuity contract for Federal tax purposes, a non-
qualified contract must provide the following two distribution rules: (a) if
any holder dies on or after the annuity commencement date, and before the
entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remainder of his or
her interest will be distributed at least as quickly as under the method of
distribution in effect on the holder's death; and (b) if the holder dies before
the annuity commencement date, his or her entire interest in the contract must
generally be distributed within five years after the date of death, or to the
extent such interest is payable to a designated beneficiary, such interest must
be distributed over the life of that designated beneficiary or over a period
not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, so long as the
distributions begin within one year after the date of death. If the beneficiary
is the surviving spouse of the holder, the contract (together with the deferral
of tax on the accrued and future income thereunder) may be continued in the
name of the spouse. Before the annuity commencement date, the holder will
generally be the owner, and after the annuity commencement date, the holder
generally may be the annuitant and the owner.
 
Where the holder is not an individual, solely for the purpose of the distribu-
tion at death rules, the primary annuitant is considered the holder. The
primary annuitant is the individual the events in the life of whom are of
primary importance in affecting the timing or amount of payment under a
contract. Finally, in the case of joint holders, the distribution will be
required at the death of the first of the holders to die.
 
TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
Amounts may be distributed from a non-qualified contract because of the death
of an owner or annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income
of the recipient as follows: (a) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed
in the same manner as a full surrender of the contract, as described above, or
(b) if distributed under an annuity option, they are taxed in the same manner
as annuity payments, as described above.
 
TRANSFER OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Transfers of non-qualified annuity contracts for less than the full and
adequate consideration will trigger tax on the gain in the contract, at the
time of such transfer, with the transferee getting a step-up in basis for the
amount included in the owner's income. Such a transfer could result on the
annuity commencement date if the annuitant is not the owner or the owner's
spouse. This provision does not apply to transfers between spouses or incident
to a divorce.
 
(S)1035 EXCHANGES
Code (S)1035 provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange
of an annuity contract for another. If the exchanged contract was issued prior
to August 14, 1982, the tax rules which formerly provided that the surrender
was taxable only to the extent the amount received exceeds the owner's invest-
ment in the contract, will continue to apply to the new contract. In contrast,
contracts issued on or after January 19, 1985, in a Code (S)1035 exchange are
treated as new contracts for purposes of the penalty tax and distribution-at-
death rules. Special rules and procedures apply to Code (S)1035 transactions.
Prospective owners wishing to take advantage of Code (S)1035 should consult
their tax advisors.
 
ASSIGNMENTS
A transfer of ownership, a collateral assignment, or the designation of an
annuitant or other beneficiary who is not also the owner may result in tax
consequences to the owner, annuitant or beneficiary that are not discussed
herein. An owner contemplating such a transfer or assignment of a contract
should contact a competent tax advisor with respect to the potential tax
effects of such a transaction.
 
                                       35
<PAGE>

 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS RULE
For purposes of determining the amount of any distribution under Code (S)72(e)
(amounts not received as annuities) that is includible in gross income, all
non-qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same (or affiliate)
insurer to the same owner during any calendar year are to be aggregated and
treated as one contract. Thus, any amount received under any such contract
prior to the contract's annuity starting date (as defined in the tax law), such
as a partial surrender, dividend, or loan, will be taxable (and possibly
subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent of the combined income in all
such contracts. The Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regula-
tions that prevent the avoidance of (S)72(e) through the serial purchase of
annuity contracts or otherwise. In addition, there may be other situations in
which the Treasury Department may conclude that it would be appropriate to
aggregate two or more contracts purchased by the same owner. Accordingly, an
owner should consult a competent tax advisor before purchasing more than one
annuity contract.

     This Statement of Additional Information provides background information
regarding Account B.


              DESCRIPTION OF GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

   
     Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") is a stock life
insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Prior to
December 30, 1993, Golden American was a Minnesota corporation.  From January 2,
1973 through December 31, 1987, the name of the company was St. Paul Life
Insurance Company.  On December 31, 1987, after all of St. Paul Life Insurance
Company's business was sold, the name was changed to Golden American.  On March
7, 1988, all of the stock of Golden American was acquired by The Golden
Financial Group, Inc. ("GFG"), a financial services holding company.  On October
19, 1990, GFG merged with and into MBL Variable, Inc. ("MBLV"), a wholly owned
direct subsidiary of The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company ("MBL").  On
January 1, 1991, MBLV became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of MBL and
Golden American became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of MBL.  Golden
American's name had been changed to MB Variable Life Insurance Company in the
state of Minnesota but subsequently has been changed back to Golden American.
In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Golden American was acquired
by a subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). As of December 31,
1995, Golden American had over $98.1 million in stockholders' equity and
approximately $1.2 billion in total assets, including approximately $1.05
billion of separate account assets.  On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa 
Companies acquired all of the interest in BT Variable, Inc., the corporate
parent of Golden American and Directed Services, Inc. and changed the name of
BT Variable, Inc.'s name to EIC Variable, Inc. (EIC Variable").  Golden American
is authorized to do business in all jurisdictions except New York.  Golden
American offers variable annuities and variable life insurance. Golden American
has formed a subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New
York ("First Golden"), who will write variable life and annuity business in the
state of New York. The initial capitalization of First Golden was $25 million.
    


                              SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS

     Golden American acts as its own custodian for Account B.

                                THE ADMINISTRATOR

     Effective January 1, 1994, Bankers Trust (Delaware), a subsidiary of
Bankers Trust New York Corporation, and Golden American became parties to a
service agreement pursuant to which Bankers Trust (Delaware) has agreed to
provide certain accounting, actuarial, tax, underwriting, sales, management and
other services to Golden American.  Expenses incurred by Bankers Trust
(Delaware) in relation to this service agreement are reimbursed by Golden
American on an allocated cost basis.  Charges billed to Golden American by
Bankers Trust (Delaware) pursuant to the service agreement in 1995 and 1994 were
$749,741 and $816,264, respectively.


     Prior to 1994, Golden American had arranged with EIC Variable, at that
time, BT Variable, Inc., to perform services related to the development and
administration of its products.  For the year 1993 and the period from
September 30, 1992 to December 31, 1992, fees earned by EIC Variable from
Golden American for these services aggregated $2,701,000 and $209,000,
respectively.  The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.


     In addition, EIC Variable provided to Golden American certain of its
personnel to perform management, administrative and clerical services and the
use of certain of its facilities.  EIC Variable charged Golden American for such
expenses and all other general and administrative costs, first on the basis of
direct charges when identifiable, and second allocated based on the estimated
amount of time spent by EIC Variable's employees on behalf of Golden American.
For the year 1993 and the period from September 30, 1992 to December 31, 1992,
EIC Variable allocated to Golden American $1,503,000 and $450,000, respectively.
The agreement was terminated on January 1, 1994.

                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

   
     Ernst & Young LLP, 801 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50309, independent
auditors, will perform annual audits of Golden American and the Accounts.
    

                            DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS

     Prior to 1994, Golden American had entered into agreements with DSI to
perform services related to the management of its investments and the
distribution of its products.  For the year 1993, Golden American incurred
$311,000 for such services.  The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.

     DSI acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of
1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the variable
insurance products issued by Golden American which, as of December 31, 1994, are
sold primarily through two broker/dealer institutions.  For the years ended
1995, 1994 and 1993, commissions paid by Golden American to DSI aggregated
$8,440,000, $17,569,000 and $34,260,00, respectively.  

     Golden American provided to DSI certain of its personnel to perform
management, administrative and clerical services and the use of certain
facilities.  Golden American charged DSI for such expenses and all other general
and administrative costs, first on the basis of direct charges when
identifiable, and the remainder allocated based on the estimated amount of time
spent by Golden American's employees on behalf of DSI.  In the opinion of
management, this method of cost allocation is reasonable.  For the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, expenses allocated to DSI were $1,983,000 and
$2,013,000, respectively. In 1995, the service agreement between DSI and Golden
American was amended to provide for a management fee from DSI to Golden American
for managerial and supervisory services provided by Golden American.  This fee,
calculated as a percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts,
was $986,650 for 1995.


                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION


     Performance information for the divisions of Account B, including the
yield and effective yield of the Liquid Asset Division, the yield of the
remaining divisions, and the total return of all divisions, may appear in
reports or promotional literature to current or prospective owners.  Negative
values are denoted by parentheses.  Performance information for measures other
than total return do not reflect sales load which can have a maximum level of
6.% of premium, and any applicable premium tax that can range from 0% to 3.5%.


SEC STANDARD MONEY MARKET DIVISION YIELDS
     Current yield for the Liquid Asset Division will be based on the change in
the value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital changes) over a
particular 7-day period, less a pro-rata share of division expenses accrued over
that period (the "base period"), and stated as a percentage of the investment at
the start of the base period (the "base period return").  The base period return
is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent.  Calculation of
"effective yield" begins with the same "base period return" used in the
calculation of yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly compounding
pursuant to the following formula:  


                                        2

<PAGE>



                                                       365/7
            Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return) +1)     ] - 1
   
   
     For the 7-day period September 23, 1996 to September 30, 1996, the current
yield of the Liquid Asset Division was 3.93% and the effective yield of the 
Division was 4.01%.
    

SEC STANDARD 30-DAY YIELD FOR NON-MONEY MARKET DIVISIONS
     Quotations of yield for the remaining divisions will be based on all
investment income per Unit (accumulation value divided by the index of
investment experience) earned during a particular 30-day period, less expenses
accrued during the period ("net investment income"), and will be computed by
dividing net investment income by the value of an accumulation unit on the last
day of the period, according to the following formula:

                                 6
          YIELD = 2 [ ( a - b +1) - 1]
                        -----
                         cd

          Where:
               [a]  equals the net investment income earned during the
                    period by the Series attributable to shares owned by
                    a division
               [b]  equals the expenses accrued for the period (net of
                    reimbursements)
               [c]  equals the average daily number of Units outstanding
                    during the period based on the index of investment
                    experience
               [d]  equals the value (maximum offering price) per index
                    of investment experience on the last day of the
                    period

     Yield on divisions of Account B is earned from the increase in net asset
value of shares of the Series in which the Division invests and from dividends
declared and paid by the Series, which are automatically reinvested in shares of
the Series.

SEC STANDARD AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR NON-MONEY MARKET DIVISIONS
     Quotations of average annual total return for any division will be
expressed in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a
hypothetical investment in a contract over a period of one, five and 10 years
(or, if less, up to the life of the division), calculated pursuant to the
formula:

                n
          P(1+T) =ERV
          
          Where:
               (1)  [P] equals a hypothetical initial premium payment of
                    $1,000
               (2)  [T] equals an average annual total return
               (3)  [n] equals the number of years
               (4)  [ERV] equals the ending redeemable value of a
                    hypothetical $1,000 initial premium payment made at
                    the beginning of the period (or fractional portion
                    thereof)

     All total return figures reflect the deduction of the maximum sales load,
the administrative charges, and the mortality and expense risk charges.  The SEC
requires that an assumption be made that the contract owner surrenders the
entire contract at the end of the one, five and 10 year periods (or, if less, up
to the life of the division) for which performance is required to be calculated.
This assumption may not be consistent with the typical contract owner's
intentions in purchasing a contract and may adversely affect returns. 
Quotations of total return may simultaneously be shown for other periods, as
well as quotations of total return that do not take into account certain
contractual charges such as sales load.

Quotations of non-standard average annual total return for any division will be

(or, if less, up to the life of the division), calculated pursuant to the

          [P(1+T) ]=ERV
                    Where:
                    (1)  [P] equals a hypothetical initial premium

                         beginning of the period (or fractional portion thereof)
                         assuming certain loading and charges are zero.

All total return figures reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk
charge and the administrative charges, but not the deduction of the maximum
sales load and the annual contract fee.

     Performance information for a division may be compared, in reports and
promotional literature, to: (i) the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 
500"), Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"), Donoghue Money Market
Institutional Averages, or other indices that measure performance of a pertinent
group of securities so that investors may compare a division's results with
those of a group of securities widely regarded by investors as representative of
the securities markets in general; (ii) other groups of variable annuity
separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds and
other investment companies by overall performance, investment objectives, and
assets, or tracked by other services, companies, publications, or persons who
rank such investment companies on overall performance or other criteria; and
(iii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to assess the real rate
of return from an investment in the contract.  Unmanaged indices may assume the
reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deductions for
administrative and management costs and expenses.


     Performance information for any division reflects only the performance of a
hypothetical contract under which accumulation value is allocated to a division
during a particular time period on which the calculations are based. 
Performance information should be considered in light of the investment
objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the
Series of the Trust in which the Account B divisions invest, and the market
conditions during the given time period, and should not be considered as a
representation of what may be achieved in the future.


     Reports and promotional literature may also contain other information
including the ranking of any division derived from rankings of variable annuity
separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services or by other rating services, companies, publications, or other persons
who rank separate accounts or other investment products on overall performance
or other criteria.

PUBLISHED RATINGS
     From time to time, the rating of Golden American as an insurance company by
A.M. Best may be referred to in advertisements or in reports to contract owners.
Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of
insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings.  These ratings
reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating
performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the
life/health insurance industry.  Best's ratings range from A++ to F.  An A++ 
and A+ rating means, in the opinion of A.M. Best, that the insurer has demon-
strated the strongest ability to meet its respective policyholder and other
contractual obligations.

INDEX OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
     The calculation of the Index of Investment Experience ("IIE") is discussed
in the prospectus for the Contracts under Measurement of Investment Experience. 
The following illustrations show a calculation of a new IIE and the purchase of
Units (using hypothetical examples):

                          IRA PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION

     If the contract owner has an IRA contract and will attain age 70 1/2 in the
current calendar year, distributions will be made in accordance with the
requirements of Federal tax law.  This option is available to assure that the
required minimum distributions from qualified plans under the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code") are made.  Under the Code, distributions must begin no later
than April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
contract owner attains age 70 1/2.  If the required minimum distribution is not
withdrawn, there may be a penalty tax in an amount equal to 50% of the
difference between the amount required to be withdrawn and the amount actually
withdrawn.  Even if the IRA Partial Withdrawal Option is not elected,
distributions must nonetheless be made in accordance with the requirements of
Federal tax law.

     Golden American notifies the contract owner of these regulations with a
letter mailed on January 1st of the calendar year in which the contract owner
reaches age 70 1/2 which explains the IRA Partial Withdrawal Option and supplies
an election form.  If electing this option, the owner specifies whether the
withdrawal amount will be based on a life expectancy calculated on a single life
basis (contract owner's life only) or, if the contract owner is married, on a
joint life basis (contract owner's and spouse's lives combined).  The contract
owner selects the payment mode on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.  If the
payment mode selected on the election form is more frequent than annually, the
payments in the first calendar year in which the option is in effect will be
based on the amount of payment modes remaining when Golden American receives the
completed election form.

     Golden American calculates the IRA Partial Withdrawal amount each year
based on the minimum distribution rules.  We do this by dividing the
accumulation value by the life expectancy.  In the first year withdrawals begin,
we use the accumulation value as of the date of the first payment.  Thereafter,
we use the accumulation value on December 31st of each year.  The life
expectancy is recalculated each year.  Certain minimum distribution rules govern
payouts if the designated beneficiary is other than the contract owner's spouse
and the beneficiary is more than ten years younger than the contract owner.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Variable Annuity Contract Owners
Separate Account B

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Separate Account B (the 'Account') as of December 31, 1995 and the related
combined statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the
three years in the period then ended. These fianancial statements are the
responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by correspondence with
the custodian. 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Separate Account B at
December 31, 1995, and the related combined results of their operations and 
changes in their net assets for each of the three years in the period then 
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                           /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995

1. ORGANIZATION

Separate Account B (the 'Account') was established on June 14, 1988, by
Golden American Life Insurance Company ('Golden American'), under Minnesota
insurance law to support the operations of variable annuity contracts
('Contracts'). Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Variable, Inc. ('BTV'), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ('Bankers Trust'). Previously, Golden
American was owned by Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company in Rehabilitation
('Mutual Benefit'). In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Bankers
Trust acquired from Mutual Benefit, in accordance with the terms of an Exchange
Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden American
and Directed Services, Inc. ('DSI'), an affiliate of Golden American, and
certain related assets and contributed them to BTV. The transaction had no
effect on the accompanying financial statements. Golden American is primarily
engaged in the issuance of variable insurance products and is licensed as a life
insurance company in the District of Columbia and all states except New York.
Effective December 30, 1993, Golden American was redomesticated from the State
of Minnesota to the State of Delaware.

Operations of the Account commenced on January 25, 1989. Golden American
provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the contracts by crediting
annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or to the
Golden American Guaranteed Interest Division, the Golden American Fixed Interest
Division, the Fixed Separate Account, and the Managed Global Division of
Separate Account D, which are not part of the Account, as elected by the
Contractowners. The assets of the Account are owned by Golden American. The
portion of the Account's assets applicable to Contracts will not be chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business Golden American may conduct,
but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments,
are obligations of Golden American.

The Account makes available, under Golden Select Contracts, thirteen investment
divisions: the Liquid Asset, the Limited Maturity Bond, the Natural Resources,
the All-Growth, the Real Estate, the Fully Managed, the Multiple Allocation, the
Capital Appreciation, the Rising Dividends (commenced operations October, 1993),
the Emerging Markets (commenced operations on October 4, 1993), the Market
Manager (commenced operations November, 1994) the Value Equity (commenced
operations January, 1995) and the Strategic Equity (commenced operations
October, 1995) Divisions ('Divisions'). The assets in each Division are
invested in shares of a designated series ('Series') of a mutual fund, The GCG
Trust (the 'Trust'). The Account also includes The Fund For Life Division, which
is not included in the accompanying financial statements, and which ceased to
accept new Contracts effective December 31, 1994.

The Account is a unit investment trust and is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The net assets maintained in the Account provide the basis for the periodic
determination of the amount of benefits under the Contracts. The net assets may
not be less than the amount required under state law to provide for death
benefits (without regard to the minimum death benefit guarantee) and other
Contract benefits. Additional assets are held in Golden American's general
account to cover the contingency that the guaranteed minimum death benefit might
exceed the death benefit which would have been payable in the absence of such
guarantee. Golden American has entered into reinsurance agreements with
unaffiliated reinsurers to cover substantially all the insurance risk under the
Contracts. Golden American remains liable to the extent that the reinsurers do
not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Account:

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

INVESTMENTS: Investments are made in shares of a Series of the Trust and are
valued at the net asset value per share of the respective Series of the Trust.

Investment transactions in each Series of the Trust are recorded on the trade
date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains of each Series of
the Trust are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses
on redemptions of the shares of the Series of the Trust are determined on the
identified cost basis.

For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 the cost of purchases of shares
of the Trust aggregated $228,738,000 and $352,605,000, respectively and the
proceeds from sales of shares of the Trust aggregated $226,848,000 and
$149,774,000, respectively.

                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed
with, the total operations of Golden American which is taxed as a life insurance
company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of
the Account attributable to the Contractowners are excluded in the determination
of the federal income tax liability of Golden American.

3. CHARGES AND FEES

Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts
to cover Golden American's expenses in connection with the issuance and
administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges:

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES: Golden American assumes mortality and
expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with
the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the
Account at annual rates of .80%, .90%, 1.25%, 1.10%, 1.25% and 1.40% of the
assets attributable to the DVA 80, DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA Plus-Standard,
DVA Plus-Annual Ratchet, and DVA Plus-7% Solution, respectively to cover these
risks.

ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: A daily charge at an annual rate of .10% is
deducted from assets attributable to DVA 100 and DVA Series 100 Contracts. A
daily charge at an annual rate of .15% is deducted from the assets attributable
to DVA Plus Contracts.

MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE CHARGE: For certain Contracts, a minimum death
benefit guarantee charge of up to $1.20 per $1,000 of guaranteed death benefit
per Contract year is deducted from the accumulation value of Deferred Annuity
Contracts on each Contract processing date.

PREMIUM TAXES: For certain contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where
applicable, from the accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing
of the deduction depend on the annuitant's state of residence and currently
ranges up to 3.5% of premiums.

OTHER CONTRACT CHARGES: An administrative charge of $40 per Contract year is
deducted from accumulation value of Deferred Annuity Contracts to cover ongoing
administrative expenses. The charge is deducted on the Contract processing date
at the end of the Contract processing period. This charge has been waived for
certain offerings of the Contract.

DEFERRED SALES LOAD: Under contracts offered prior to October 1995, a sales load
of up to 7 1/2% was applicable to each premium payment for sales-related
expenses as specified in the Contracts. For DVA Series 100 the sales load is
deducted in equal annual installments over the period the Contract is in force,
not to exceed 10 years. For other DVA 80 and DVA 100 Contracts, although the
sales load is chargeable to each premium when it is received by Golden American,
the amount of such charge is initially advanced by Golden American to
Contractowners and included in the accumulation value and then deducted in equal
installments on each Contract processing date over a period of six years. Upon
surrender of the Contract, the unamortized deferred sales load is deducted from
the accumulation value by Golden American. In addition, when partial withdrawal
limits are exceeded, a portion of the unamortized deferred sales load is
deducted.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: Under DVA Plus Contracts issued subsequent to
September 1995, a contingent sales charge ('Surrender Charges') is imposed as a
percentage of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered or an excess
partial withdrawal is taken during the seven year period from the date a premium
payment is received. The Surrender Charges are imposed at a rate of 7% during
the first two complete years after purchase declining to 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, and 1%
after the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years, respectively.

The net assets retained in the Account by Golden American in the accompanying
financial statements represent the unamortized deferred sales load, surrender
charges and premium taxes advanced by Golden American, noted above.

MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
 
The objective of the GoldenSelect Managed Global Account of Separate Account D
is long-term capital appreciation and international diversification.
 
The year saw fairly wide divergences in performance among foreign markets. Most
European exchanges recorded solid gains, while many of the emerging markets,
particularly in Asia, suffered losses. Japan, after falling sharply in the
year's first six months, staged a powerful recovery at midyear and finished the
year even.
 
Japan remains the Account's largest commitment to a single country, at 32% of
the portfolio. The Portfolio Manager is encouraged by developments in the
Japanese economy, and is equally optimistic about the stock market's prospects
in 1996.
 
Emerging markets, collectively, suffered in 1995, and as a result valuations are
now lower than they have been in several years. The Portfolio Manager sees many
attractive opportunities in emerging markets as 1996 begins, particularly in
Asia, which represents the major focus of the Account's emerging-market
exposure.
 
As 1996 begins, the Portfolio Manager's outlook on international equity markets
is, in general, positive, and believes that the Account is well-positioned with
regard to its regional and country allocations and its specific holdings.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                           THE MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
                                       OF
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
 
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Managed Global Account of Separate Account D (the 'Account') is registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as a non-diversified open-end investment company and meets the
definition of a separate account under federal securities laws. The Account was
established on April 18, 1990, by Golden American Life Insurance Company
('Golden American'), to support the operations of variable annuity contracts
('Contracts'). Golden American, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Variable, Inc.
('BTV'), an indirect subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ('Bankers Trust'), is a
stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware.
Golden American is primarily engaged in the issuance of variable insurance
products and is authorized to do business in the District of Columbia and in all
states except New York.
 
Operations on the Account commenced on October 21, 1992. Golden American
provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting
annuity considerations to the Account at the direction of contractholders. The
assets of the Account are owned by Golden American. The portion of the Account's
assets applicable to Contracts will not be chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business Golden American may conduct, but obligations of the
Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of
Golden American.
 
The net assets maintained in the Account provide the basis for the periodic
determination of the amount of benefits under the Contracts. The net assets may
not be less than the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the
Account. Golden American has entered into a reinsurance agreement with an
affiliated reinsurer to cover insurance risks under the Contracts. Golden
American remains liable to the extent that the reinsurer does not meet its
obligations under the reinsurance agreement.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Account in the
preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
(A) VALUATION: Domestic and foreign portfolio securities, except as noted below,
for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value.
Market value is determined on the basis of the last reported sales price in the
principal market where such securities are traded or, if no sales are reported,
the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a
quotation reporting system or from established market makers.
 
Long-term debt securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment
agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and
dealers or pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as
institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality,
coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market
data. Under certain circumstances, long-term debt securities having a maturity
of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost. Short-term debt
securities are valued at their amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Amortized cost involves valuing a portfolio security instrument at its cost,
initially, and thereafter, assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on
the market value of the instrument.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of the Board
of Governors.
 
(B) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Account may engage in various
portfolio strategies, as described below, to seek to manage its exposure to
equity markets and to manage fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Forward
foreign currency exchange contracts to buy, writing puts and buying calls tend
to increase the Account's exposure to the underlying market or currency. Forward
foreign currency exchange contracts to sell, buying puts and writing calls tend
to decrease the Account's exposure to the underlying market or currency. In some
instances, investments in derivative financial instruments may involve, to
varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Losses may arise under
these contracts due to the existence of an illiquid secondary market for the
contracts, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. An
additional primary risk associated with the use of certain of these contracts
may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
derivative financial instruments and the price of the underlying securities,
indices or currency.
 
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Account may enter into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts. The Account will enter in forward foreign
currency exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
                           THE MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
                                       OF
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the applicable
forward rate, and are marked to market daily. The change in market value is
recorded by the Account as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is
closed, the Account records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts limit
the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also
limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency
increase. In addition, the Account could be exposed to risks if the
counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
Open contracts at December 31, 1995 and their related unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) are set forth in the Schedule of Forward Foreign Currency
Exchange Contracts which accompanies the Portfolio of Investments. Realized and
unrealized gain/(loss) arriving from forward foreign currency exchange contracts
are included in net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on forward foreign
currency exchange contracts.
 
OPTIONS: The Account may engage in option transactions. When the Account writes
an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Account is reflected
as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is
subsequently marked to market on a daily basis to reflect the current value of
the option written.
 
When a security is sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium
received (or paid) is deducted from (or added to) the basis of the security
sold. When an option expires (or the Account enters into a closing transaction),
the Account realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums
received or paid (or gain or loss to the premium paid or received). The Account
did not write options during the year ended December 31, 1995. Realized gains
arising from purchased options are included in the net realized gain/(loss) on
security transactions.
 
(C) FOREIGN CURRENCY: Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
and commitments under forward foreign currency exchange contracts are translated
into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such
currencies against the U.S. dollar as of the close of business immediately
preceding the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were
acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at rates of exchange
prevailing when accrued.
 
The Account does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) from securities.
 
Reported net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arise
from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Account's books, and the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized
gains and losses on other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than
investments in securities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from
changes in the exchange rate.
 
(D) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Account may enter into repurchase agreements in
accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Governors of the Account.
The Account bears a risk of loss in the event that the other party to a
repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Account is delayed or
prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the underlying securities
received as collateral including the risk of a possible decline in the value of
the underlying securities during the period while the Account seeks to exercise
its rights. The Account takes possession of the collateral and reviews the value
of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which
the Account enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks. The
market value of the underlying securities received as collateral must be at
least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of
counterparty default, the Account has the right to use the underlying securities
to offset the loss.
 
(E) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income (including amortization of premium and discount on securities)
and expenses are accrued daily. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis which is the same basis
used for federal income tax purposes.
 
(F) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of Golden American, which is taxed as a life
insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital
gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are excluded in the
determination of the federal income tax liability of Golden American.

                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
 
2. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

OPERATING EXPENSES: Directed Services, Inc. ('DSI'), a wholly owned subsidiary
of BTV, serves as Manager to the Account pursuant to a Management Agreement.
Under the Management Agreement, DSI has overall responsibility, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Governors, for administrating all operations of the
Account and for monitoring and evaluating the management of the assets of the
Account by the Portfolio Manager. In consideration for these services, the
Account pays DSI a management fee based upon the following annual percentage of
the Account's average daily net assets: 0.40% of the first $500 million and
0.30% of the amount over $500 million. Warburg, Pincus Counsellors, Inc.
('Warburg') serves as the Portfolio Manager of the Account and in that capacity
provides investment advisory services for the Account including asset allocation
and security selection. In consideration for these services, Warburg is paid an
advisory fee by the Account, payable monthly, based on the average daily net
assets of the Account at an annual rate of 0.60% of the first $500 million and
0.50% on the excess thereof. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Account
incurred management and advisory fees of $293,930 and $440,770, respectively.
 
The Account bears the expenses of its investment management operations,
including expenses associated with custody of securities, portfolio accounting,
the Board of Governors, legal and auditing services, registration fees and other
related operating expenses. Bankers Trust is the custodian of the assets in the
Account. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Account incurred $111,693 for
custodian fees. In addition, the Account reimburses Golden American for certain
organization expenses (See Note 4). At December 31, 1995, a total of $1,684 was
payable to DSI and Golden American for management and reimbursement of
organization expenses.
 
Certain officers and governors of the Account are also officers and/or directors
of the Manager, Golden American, BTV and Bankers Trust.
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES: Golden American assumes mortality and
expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with
the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the
Account at annual rates of 0.80%, 0.90%, 1.25%, 1.10%, 1.25% and 1.40% of the
assets attributable to DVA 80, DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA Plus-Standard, DVA
Plus-Annual Ratchet and DVA Plus-7% Solution, respectively, to cover these
risks. Golden American did not deduct mortality and expense risk charges and
asset based administrative charges from the DVA Plus Contract assets until
November 1995, upon which it received exemptive relief from the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
 
ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: To compensate Golden American for the
administrative expenses under the Contracts, a daily charge at an annual rate of
0.10% is deducted from assets attributable to the DVA 100 and DVA Series 100
Contracts. A daily charge of 0.15% is deducted from the assets attributable to
DVA Plus Contracts.
 
OTHER CONTRACT CHARGES: An administrative fee of $40 per Contract year is
deducted from the accumulation value of certain DVA 80 and DVA 100 Contracts.
Under DVA Plus Contracts issued subsequent to September of 1995, an excess
allocation charge of $25 per allocation may be imposed by Golden American after
the twelfth allocation change in a contract year. Under DVA 80, DVA 100 and DVA
Series 100 Contracts ('Previous Contracts'), a partial withdrawal charge of the
lower of 2% of the withdrawal or $25 is deducted from the accumulation for each
additional partial withdrawal in a Contract year. In addition, under the
Previous Contracts, there is an excess allocation charge of $25 for each
allocation change between divisions in excess of the five free changes allowed
per contract year.
 
DEFERRED SALES LOAD: Under contracts offered prior to October of 1995, a sales
load of up to 6.50% was applicable to each premium payment for sales related
expenses as specified in the Contracts. For DVA Series 100 Contracts, the sales
load is deducted in equal annual installments over the period the Contract is in
force, not to exceed 10 years. For DVA 80 and DVA 100 Contracts, although the
sales load is chargeable to each premium when it is received by Golden American,
the amount of such charge is initially advanced by Golden American to
Contractowners and included in the accumulation value and then deducted in equal
installments on each Contract processing date over a period of six years. For
the year ended December 31, 1995, contract sales loads of $1,124,480 initially
advanced by Golden American to the Account were deducted from contractowners'
accumulation value. Upon surrender of the Contract, the unamortized deferred
sales load is deducted from the accumulation value by Golden American. In
addition, when partial withdrawal limits are exceeded, a portion of the
unamortized deferred sales load is deducted.
 
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: Under DVA Plus Contracts issued subsequent to
September of 1995, a contingent deferred sales charge ('Surrender Charges') is
imposed as a percentage of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered
or an excess partial withdrawal is taken during the seven year period from the
date a premium payment is received. The Surrender Charges are imposed at a rate
of 7% of the premium payment during the first two complete years after purchase
declining to 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, and 1% after the second, third, fourth, fifth and
sixth complete years, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1995, Golden
American collected Surrender Charges in the amount of $15.

PREMIUM TAXES: Premium taxes are deducted, where applicable, from the
accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing of the deduction
depend on the annuitant's state of residence and currently ranges up to 3.5% of
premiums. Premium taxes are generally incurred on the annuity commencement date
and a charge for such premium taxes is then deducted from the accumulation value
on such date. However, some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time the
initial and additional premiums are paid, regardless of the annuity commencement
date. In those states, Golden American advances the amount of the charge for
premium taxes to Contractowners and then deducts it from the accumulation value
in equal installments on each contract processing date over a six year period.
Golden American is currently waiving the deduction of the applicable
installments of the charge for premium taxes previously advanced by Golden
American to Contractowners. Golden American reserves the right to deduct the
total amount of the charge for premium taxes previously waived and unrecovered
on the annuity commencement date or upon surrender of the Contract.
 
EXPENSE LIMITATION: The Account and DSI entered into an agreement to limit the
ordinary operating expenses of the Account, excluding, among other things,
mortality and expense risk charges, asset based administrative charges, interest
expense, and other contractual charges, through December 31, 1995, so that such
expenses do not exceed on an annual basis 1.25% of the first $500 million of the
average daily net assets and 1.05% of the excess over $500 million. For the year
ended December 31, 1995, $63,386 was reimbursed by DSI to the Account pursuant
to this limitation. Such agreement existed under the same terms for the year
ended December 31, 1994.
 
DSI, a registered broker/dealer, acts as the distributor and principal
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended) of the Contracts issued through the Account. For the
years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, fees paid by Golden
American to DSI in connection with sales of the contracts aggregated
approximately $446,000 and $1,343,000, respectively.
 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
 
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities,
during the year ended December 31, 1995, were $30,992,571 and $4,817,671,
respectively.
 
At December 31, 1995, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities
in which there is an excess of value over tax cost and aggregate gross
unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax
cost over value were $8,320,461 and $4,817,671, respectively.
 
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the portfolio turnover rate was 44%.
 
4. ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
The initial organizational expenses of the Account of approximately $150,000
were paid by Golden American. The Account reimburses Golden American monthly for
such expenses ratably over a period of sixty months from the date of the
Account's commencement of operations. At December 31, 1995, the unamortized
balance of such expenses was $75,090. It is Golden American's intention not to
seek reimbursement for any unpaid amounts should the account cease operations.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
                           THE MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
                                       OF
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
 
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 13, 1996, under the terms of a stock purchase agreement, Equitable
of Iowa Companies acquired all of the interest in BTV from Whitewood Properties
Corp., a subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company.  DSI and Golden American are 
wholly owned subsidiaries of BTV. 

In addition at a special meeting held on August 8, 1996, the contractholders
approved the reorganization of the Account from a separate account of Golden
American register as a management investment company toa newly created division
(the "Division") of Separate Account B, an existing separate account of Golden
American which is registered as a unit investment trust.  On the date of
reorganization, which is anticipated to be September 3, 1996, the Account will
transfer all of its assets to the Division.  The Division will simultaneously
exchange these assets to the Managed Global Series of the The GCG Trust in
consideration for shares of the Series.  The Managed Global Series is a newly
created Series of The GCG Trust.  Ths GCG Trust is and existing open-end 
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 
1940.

If this reorganization, described above, had taken place on December 31, 1995,
the unit values and net assets of the Division would have been the same as
reflected in the Account's financial statements contained herein.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Contractowners and Board of Governors
The Managed Global Account of Separate Account D
 
     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Managed Global Account of Separate Account D, including the portfolio of
investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities
held by the custodian as of December 31, 1995 and confirmation of securities not
held by the custodian by correspondence with others. 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 and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Managed Global Account of Separate Account D at December 31, 1995, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for
each of the indicated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

sentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opin-
ion.

                    GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
1. ORGANIZATION
  Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American Life Insurance Company
("Golden American") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Variable, Inc.
("BTV"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ("Bank-
ers Trust"). Previously, Golden American was owned by Mutual Benefit Life In-
surance Company in Rehabilitation ("Mutual Benefit"). Golden American is pri-
marily engaged in the issuance of variable insurance products and is licensed
as a life insurance company in the District of Columbia and all states except
New York. Effective December 30, 1993, Golden American was redomesticated from
the State of Minnesota to the State of Delaware.
 
  In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Bankers Trust acquired
from Mutual Benefit, in accordance with the terms of an Exchange Agreement,
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden American and Di-
rected Services, Inc. ("DSI"), an affiliate of Golden American, and certain
related assets and contributed them to BTV. The portion of the aggregate con-
sideration exchanged by Bankers Trust, allocable to Golden American, was val-
ued at approximately $11,600 thousand, subject to subsequent adjustment pursu-
ant to the Exchange Agreement. This allocation was based primarily on the
estimated value of insurance contracts in force and also included the acquisi-
tion of net tangible assets of $400 thousand. The transaction involved settle-
ment of pre-existing claims of Bankers Trust against Mutual Benefit. The ulti-
mate value of these claims has not yet been determined by the Superior Court
of New Jersey and is contingently supported by a $5,000 thousand note payable
from Golden American and a $6,000 thousand letter of credit from Bankers
Trust. The Golden American note is secured by a pledge of Golden American's
right to receive certain deferred sales loads. Bankers Trust has estimated
that the contingent liability due from Golden American amounted to $439 thou-
sand at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Golden American deposited with an escrow
agent $1,225 thousand and $1,300 thousand in 1995 and 1994, respectively, pur-
suant to certain provisions of the Exchange Agreement.
 
  In addition, concurrent with the closing, Bankers Trust entered into an
agreement with Golden American to cause Golden American, commencing with the
closing and for so long as Bankers Trust continues to own, directly or indi-
rectly, all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden American, to
have at all times statutory capital and surplus of no less than the sum of (i)
$5,000 thousand and (ii) an amount equal to 1% of the statutory-basis separate
account liabilities of Golden American. During 1995, 1994, and 1993 BTV con-
tributed additional capital and paid-in surplus of $7,944 thousand, $8,750
thousand, and $16,000 thousand, respectively, to Golden American. In 1994,
Golden American issued $50,000 thousand of preferred stock that was purchased
by BTV for $50,000 thousand in cash.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accom-
panying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Basis of Presentation
  The accompanying financial statements have been presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The acquisition of Golden
American has been accounted for as a purchase by Bankers Trust and, according-
ly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair
values at September 30, 1992. In accordance with requirements of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission, this new basis of accounting has been "pushed
down" to Golden American.
 
Investments
  Fixed maturities are considered available for sale and are carried at market
in 1995. Previously fixed maturities were treated as held until maturity and
carried at cost. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approxi-
mates market. Equity securities, principally investments

in mutual funds, are carried at market based on quoted market prices. Net
unrealized appreciation of equity securities is included as a component of
stockholder's equity. The cost of investments sold is determined by using the
specific identification method.
 
Variable Life and Annuity Products
  Variable life and annuity products include individual and group flexible
premium variable life insurance policies and annuity products. Golden American
provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the policies and con-
tracts by crediting life and annuity considerations in accordance with
contractholder direction to one or more divisions within various variable sep-
arate accounts or fixed interest divisions. Golden American's fixed interest
divisions include the Guaranteed Interest Division, the Fixed Interest Divi-
sion, and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Interest separate account.
 
Separate Accounts
  Variable separate accounts assets and liabilities reported in the accompany-
ing balance sheets represent funds that are separately administered princi-
pally for variable life policies and annuity contracts and for which the poli-
cyholders and contractholders rather than Golden American bear the investment
risk. At the direction of the policyowners and contractholders, the separate
accounts invest the premium and annuity considerations from the sale of vari-
able life and annuity products either in shares of specified mutual funds or
directly in other investments. The assets and liabilities of Golden American's
separate accounts are clearly identified and segregated from other assets and
liabilities of Golden American. The portion of the separate account assets ap-
plicable to variable life policies and variable annuity contracts cannot be
charged with liabilities arising out of any other business Golden American may
conduct.
 
  Variable separate account assets carried at fair value of the underlying in-
vestments generally represent policyowner and contractholder investment values
maintained in the accounts. Variable separate account liabilities represent
account balances for the variable life policies and annuity contracts invested
in the separate accounts. Net investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses related to separate account assets are not reflected
in the accompanying statements of operations of Golden American.
 
Revenue Recognition
  Revenues from variable life and annuity products consists of charges for
mortality and expense risk, cost of insurance, contract administration, and
surrender charges, as applicable to each contract. In addition, most life and
annuity contracts provide for a distribution fee collected for a limited num-
ber of years after each premium deposit, as defined in each applicable con-
tract. For life contracts, the distribution fee is based on the premiums col-
lected, the face amount issued, and the underwriting characteristics of each
insured. For annuity contracts, the distribution fee is based on the amount of
premiums collected and allocated to the variable separate accounts. Revenue
recognition of collected distribution fees is amortized over the life of the
contract in proportion to its expected gross profits. The balance of unrecog-
nized revenue related to the distribution fees is reported as unearned reve-
nue.
 
Costs Assigned to Insurance Contracts in Force
  The costs assigned to insurance contracts in force represents the value of
the right to receive future profits from the life insurance and annuity poli-
cies existing at the date of acquisition from Mutual Benefit. Such value is
the actuarially-determined present value of projected future profits from the
acquired contracts discounted at an interest rate of 15%. Costs assigned to
insurance contracts in force is being amortized over the estimated life of the
applicable insurance contracts in relation to estimated future gross profits.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
  Deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of commissions, certain
underwriting expenses and the costs of issuing policies that vary with and are
directly related to the production of new and renewal business. Acquisition
costs for variable life and annuity products are being amortized over the
lives of the policies in relation to the present value of estimated future
gross profits. The future gross profit estimates are subject to periodic eval-
uation with necessary revisions applied against amortization to date.
 
Insurance and Annuity Reserves
  Insurance and annuity reserves represent variable life and annuity account
balances invested in the fixed interest divisions, policy loan balances on
variable life policies, and supplementary contract reserves on annuitized pol-
icies. Interest credited rates for the fixed interest divisions ranged from 4%
to 7% during 1995 and 1994.
 
Policy Benefits
  Policy benefits that are charged to expense include benefits incurred in the
period in excess of the related policy account balances and interest credited
to policy account balances invested in the fixed interest divisions.
 
Reinsurance
  Included in the accompanying financial statements are net considerations to
reinsurers of $2,800 thousand and $2,400 thousand and net policy benefits re-
coveries of $3,500 thousand and $1,900 thousand in 1995 and 1994, respective-
ly. Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American terminated all reinsurance
agreements with Mutual Benefit. Subsequently, Golden American entered into
agreements covering substantially all of the mortality risks under both life
policies and annuity contracts with unaffiliated reinsurers. Golden American
remains liable to the extent that its reinsurers do not meet their obligations
under the reinsurance agreements. Reinsurance in-force for life mortality
risks were $24,700 thousand and $23,000 thousand at December 31, 1995 and 1994
and for annuity mortality risks were $83,500 thousand and $149,600 thousand at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

ing financial statements are presented net of the effects of the treaty which

per, money markets, and certificates of deposit) with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, gross unrealized (depreciation) appreciation
of marketable equity securities recognized directly in stockholder's equity
was $3 thousand and $(1) thousand, respectively.
 
  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, $2,711 thousand and $2,695 thousand, respec-
tively, in principal amount of fixed maturity investments were on deposit with
regulatory authorities pursuant to certain statutory requirements.
 
5. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
  The payment of cash dividends by Golden American is subject to statutory re-
strictions equal to the higher of 10% of surplus as regards policyholders or
100% of the prior year's net gain, not to exceed unassigned surplus. The maxi-
mum dividend payout which may be made without prior approval in 1996 is $6,636
thousand. Golden American is required to maintain a minimum total statutory-
basis capital and surplus of not less than $5,000 thousand under the provi-
sions of the insurance laws of certain states in which it is presently li-
censed to sell variable life and annuity products.
 
  A reconciliation of Golden American's GAAP-basis stockholder's equity as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and net loss for the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994 to its statutory-basis capital and surplus and net loss included in
the accompanying financial statements is as follows:

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

that the amount of capital maintained by an insurance company is to be deter-
mined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 1995
and 1994, Golden American met the RBC requirements.
 
  On December 30, 1994, Golden American issued 10,000 shares of Redeemable
Preferred Stock. Dividends declared and paid on the Redeemable Preferred Stock
were $3.35 million or $334.79 per share in 1995. As of December 31, 1994, Div-
idends in Arrears on the Redeemable Preferred Stock were $17.9 thousand or
$1.79 per share. The dividends are cumulative and are calculated based on a
rate not to exceed the sum of the Prime Rate and 1.5%. The Redeemable Pre-
ferred Stock is redeemable at the option of Golden American at the redemption
price of $5 thousand per share subject to appropriate regulatory approvals.
 
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
  DSI acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of
1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the variable in-
surance products issued by Golden American which as of December 31, 1995, are
sold primarily through two broker/dealer institutions. For the years ended De-
cember 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, commissions paid by Golden American to DSI ag-
gregated $8,440 thousand, $17,569 thousand, and $34,260 thousand, respective-
ly.
 
  Golden American provided to DSI certain of its personnel to perform manage-
ment, administrative and clerical services and the use of certain facilities.
Golden American charged DSI for such expenses and all other general and admin-
istrative costs, first on the basis of direct charges when identifiable, and
the remainder allocated based on the estimated amount of time spent by Golden
American's employees on behalf of DSI. In the opinion of management, this
method of cost allocation is reasonable. For the years ended December 31, 1994
and 1993, expenses allocated to DSI were $1,983 thousand and $2,013 thousand,
respectively, which were comprised of allocated salary charges, premise and
equipment charges, and other expenses.
 
  In 1995, the service agreement between DSI and Golden American was amended
to provide for a management fee from DSI to Golden American. This fee, for
managerial and supervisory services provided by Golden American calculated as
a percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts, was $987
thousand for 1995.
 
  Prior to 1994, Golden American had entered into agreements with DSI to per-
form services related to the management of its investments and the distribu-
tion of its products. For the year 1993, Golden American incurred $311 thou-
sand for such services. The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.
 
  Prior to 1994, Golden American had arranged with BTV to perform services re-
lated to the development and administration of its products. For the year
1993, fees earned by BTV from Golden American for these services aggregated
$2,701 thousand. The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.
 
  In addition, prior to 1994, BTV provided to Golden American certain of its
personnel to perform management, administrative and clerical services and the
use of certain of its facilities. BTV charged Golden American for such ex-
penses and all other general and administrative costs, first on the basis of
direct charges when identifiable, and second allocated based on the estimated
amount of time spent by BTV's employees on behalf of Golden American. For the
year 1993, BTV allocated to Golden American $1,503 thousand. The agreement was
terminated on January 1, 1994.
 
  Golden American maintains cash on deposit at Bankers Trust.

tions prior to ownership by Mutual Benefit, can be used to offset future tax-
able income of Golden American only through the year 2005, subject to annual
limitations. Approximately $800 thousand, $4,100 thousand, $10,100 thousand

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1996

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Separate Account B (the "Account") was established on June 14, 1988, by
Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American"), under
Minnesota insurance law to support the operations of variable annuity
contracts ("Contracts").  Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American
and Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), an affiliate of Golden American,
became wholly-owned subsidiaries of BT Variable, Inc. ("BTV"), an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company.  Effective
December 30, 1993, Golden American was redomesticated from the State of
Minnesota to the State of Delaware.  Effective August 13, 1996,
Equitable of Iowa Companies acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of BTV and changed its name to EIC Variable, Inc.  These
transactions had no effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Golden American is primarily engaged in the issuance of variable
insurance products and is licensed as a life insurance company in the
District of Columbia and all states except New York.

Operations of the Account commenced on January 25, 1989.  The Account is
registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Golden
American provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the
contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions
within the Account or to the Golden American Guaranteed Interest
Division, the Golden American Fixed Interest Division and the Fixed
Separate Account, which are not part of the Account, as directed by the
Contractowners.  The assets of the Account are owned by Golden American.
The portion of the Account's assets applicable to Contracts will not be
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Golden
American may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the
promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of Golden American.
The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and
distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Golden American.

The Account has, under GoldenSelect Contracts, eighteen investment
divisions:  the Liquid Asset, the Limited Maturity Bond, the Natural
Resources, the All-Growth, the Real Estate, the Fully Managed, the
Multiple Allocation, the Capital Appreciation, the Rising Dividends, the
Emerging Markets, the Market Manager, the Value Equity (commenced
operations January, 1995), the Strategic Equity (commenced operations
October, 1995), the Small Cap (commenced operations January, 1996), the
Managed Global, the OTC (commenced operations September, 1996) and the
Growth & Income (commenced operations September, 1996) Divisions
("Divisions").  The Managed Global Division was formerly the Managed
Global Account of Golden American's Separate Account D from October 12,
1992 until September 3, 1996.  The assets in each Division are invested
in shares of a designated series ("Series", which may also be referred
to as "Portfolio") of mutual funds of The GCG Trust or the Equi-Select
Series Trust (the "Trusts").  Effective January 1997, the Natural
Resources Series was renamed to Hard Assets.  The Account also includes 
The Fund For Life Division, which is not included in the accompanying 
financial statements, and which ceased to accept new Contracts effective 
December 31, 1994.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION (Continued)

The Market Manager Division was open for investment for only a brief
period during 1994 and 1995.  This Division is now closed and
contractowners are not allowed to direct their investments into this
Division.  Contractowners with investments in the Market Manager
Division were allowed to elect to update their contracts to DVA Plus
contracts.

The net assets maintained in the Account provide the basis for the
periodic determination of the amount of benefits under the Contracts.
The net assets may not be less than the amount required under state law
to provide for death benefits (without regard to the minimum death
benefit guarantee) and other Contract benefits.  Additional assets are
held in Golden American's general account to cover the contingency that
the guaranteed minimum death benefit might exceed the death benefit
which would have been payable in the absence of such guarantee.  Golden
American has entered into reinsurance agreements with unaffiliated
reinsurers to cover substantially all the insurance risk under the
Contracts.  Golden American remains liable to the extent that the 
reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 1996 financial statement presentation.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Account:

Use of Estimates:  The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Investments:  Investments are made in shares of a Series or Portfolio of
the Trusts and are valued at the net asset value per share of the
respective Series or Portfolio of the Trusts.  Investment transactions
in each Series or Portfolio of the Trusts are recorded on the trade
date.  Distributions of net investment income and capital gains of each
Series or Portfolio of the Trusts are recognized on the ex-distribution
date.  Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the
Series or Portfolio of the Trusts are determined on the specific
identification basis.

Federal Income Taxes:  Operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of Golden American which is taxed as a
life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code.  Earnings and
realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the Contractowners
are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of
Golden American.

NOTE 3 - CHARGES AND FEES
Contracts currently being sold include the DVA Series 100 and the DVA
Plus.  The DVA Plus has three different death benefit options referred
to as Standard, Annual Ratchet and 7% Solution.  Golden American
discontinued external sales of DVA 80 and DVA 100 contracts in May 1991
and December 1995, respectively.  DVA 100 contracts are still available
to Golden American employees and agents.  Under the terms of the

NOTE 3 - CHARGES AND FEES (Continued)
Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover
Golden American's expenses in connection with the issuance and
administration of the Contracts.  Following is a summary of these
charges:

Mortality and Expense Risk and Other Charges

  Mortality and Expense Risk Charges:  Golden American assumes
  mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the
  Account and, in  accordance with  the terms  of the Contracts,
  deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Account. Daily 
  charges are deducted at annual rates of .80%, .90%, 1.25%, 
  1.10%, 1.25% and 1.40% of the assets attributable to the DVA 80, 
  DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA Plus-Standard, DVA Plus-Annual 
  Ratchet and DVA Plus-7% Solution, respectively, to cover these 
  risks.

  Asset Based Administrative Charges:  A  daily  charge  at  an
  annual  rate  of .10%  is  deducted from assets attributable to
  DVA 100 and DVA Series 100 Contracts.  A daily charge at an annual
  rate of .15% is deducted from the assets attributable to DVA Plus
  Contracts.

Annual Administrative Charges:  An administrative charge of $40 per
Contract year is deducted from  the accumulation value of Deferred
Annuity Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses.  The 
charge is incurred on the Contract anniversary date and deducted at the
end of the Contract anniversary period.  This charge has been waived for
certain offerings of the Contract.

Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Charges:  For certain Contracts, a
minimum death benefit guarantee charge of up to $1.20 per $1,000 of
guaranteed death benefit per Contract year is deducted from the
accumulation value of Deferred Annuity Contracts on each Contract
anniversary date.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges:  Under DVA Plus Contracts issued
subsequent to September 1995, a contingent deferred sales charge
("Surrender Charge") is imposed as a percentage of each premium payment
if the Contract is surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken
during the seven year period from the date a premium payment is
received.  The Surrender Charge is imposed at a rate of 7% during the
first two complete years after purchase declining to 6%, 5%, 4%, 3% and
1% after the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth years, respectively.

Other Contract Charges:  Under DVA 80, DVA 100 and DVA Series 100
contracts, a charge is deducted from the accumulation value for
contracts taking more than one conventional partial withdrawal during a
contract year.  For DVA 80 and DVA 100 contracts, annual distribution
fees are deducted from contract accumulation values.

Deferred Sales Load:  Under contracts offered prior to October 1995, a
sales load of up to 7 1/2% was applicable to each premium payment for
sales-related expenses as specified in the Contracts.  For DVA Series
100, the sales load is deducted in equal annual installments over the
period the Contract is in force, not to exceed 10 years.  For DVA 80 and
DVA 100 Contracts, although the sales load is chargeable to each premium
when it is received by Golden American, the amount of such charge is
initially advanced by Golden American to Contractowners and included in
NOTE 3 - CHARGES AND FEES (Continued)
Deferred Sales Load (continued): the accumulation value and then 
deducted in equal installments on each Contract anniversary date over a 
period of six years.  Upon surrender of the Contract, the unamortized 
deferred sales load is deducted from the accumulation value by Golden 
American.  In addition, when partial withdrawal limits are exceeded, a 
portion of the unamortized deferred sales load is deducted.

Premium Taxes:  For certain contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where
applicable, from the accumulation value of each Contract.  The amount
and timing of the deduction depend on the annuitant's state of residence
and currently ranges up to 3.5% of premiums.

Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts are currently
waived by Golden American.  Golden American reserves the right to
discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes
in the law.

The net assets retained in the Account by Golden American in the
accompanying financial statements represent the unamortized deferred
sales load and premium taxes advanced by Golden American, noted above.

Net assets retained in the Account by Golden American are as follows:

NOTE 5 - SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM UNIT TRANSACTIONS
Contractowners transactions shown in the following table reflect gross
inflows ("Purchases") and outflows ("Sales") in units for each Division.
The activity includes contractowners electing to update a DVA contract
to a DVA Plus contract beginning in October 1995.  Updates to DVA Plus
contracts result in both a sale (surrender of the old contract) and a
purchase (acquisition of the new contract). All of the purchase
transactions for the Market Manager Division resulted from such updates.

Contractowner transactions in units were as follows:

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise noted in
Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Financial Statements.
Operating results for the periods August 14, 1996 through September 30, 1996,
July 1, 1996 through August 13, 1996, and January 1, 1996 through August 13, 
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
periods reported at December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Golden American
Life Insurance Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995.

On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable") acquired all of
the outstanding capital stock of BT Variable, Inc. (Golden American Life
Insurance Company's parent) from Whitewood Properties Corporation
("Whitewood") pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
May 3, 1996 between Equitable and Whitewood (the "Purchase Agreement").
Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

For financial statement purposes, the change in control of Golden American
Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") through the acquisition to BT
Variable, Inc. ("BT Variable") was accounted for as a purchase acquisition
effective August 14, 1996.  The effects of the acquisition have resulted in a
new basis of accounting reflecting estimated fair values for assets and
liabilities at that date.  As a result, Golden American's financial
statements for periods subsequent to August 13, 1996, are presented on the
Post-Acquisition new basis of accounting, while the financial statements for
August 13, 1996 and prior periods are presented on the Pre-Acquisition
historical cost basis of accounting.

For purposes of the condensed statements of cash flows, the company considers
all demand deposits and interest bearing accounts not related to the
investment function to be cash equivalents.  All interest-bearing accounts
classified as cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or
less.

Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 financial statement presentation.

NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the fourth quarter of 1995, the service agreement between Directed
Services, Inc. ("DSI") and Golden American was amended to provide for a
management fee from DSI to Golden American for certain managerial and
supervisory services provided by Golden American.  This fee, calculated as a
percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts was $560,000
in the third quarter of 1996 and $1,670,000 in the first nine months of 1996.

NOTE 4 -- SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY

On September 23, 1996, EIC Variable, Inc. (formally known as BT Variable, Inc.) 
contributed $50,000,000 of Preferred Stock to the company's additional paid-in 
capital.

NOTE 5 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Bankers Trust Company
("Bankers Trust") acquired from Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company in
Rehabilitation ("Mutual Benefit"), in accordance with the terms of an
Exchange Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden
American and DSI and certain related assets for consideration with an
aggregate value of $13,200,000 and contributed them to BT Variable.  The
transaction involved settlement of pre-existing claims of Bankers Trust
against Mutual Benefit.  The ultimate value of these claims has not yet been
determined by the Superior Court of New Jersey and, prior to August 13, 1996,
was contingently supported by a $5,000,000 note payable from Golden American
and a $6,000,000 letter of credit from Bankers Trust.  Bankers Trust had
estimated that the contingent liability due from Golden American amounted to
$439,000 at August 13, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  At August 13, 1996 the
balance of the escrow account established to fund the contingent liability
was $4,293,000 ($4,150,000 at December 31, 1995).

On August 13, 1996, Bankers Trust made a cash payment to Golden American in
an amount equal to the balance of the escrow account less the $439,000
contingent liability discussed above.  In exchange, Golden American
irrevocably assigned to Bankers Trust all of Golden American's rights to
receive any amounts to be disbursed from the escrow account in accordance
with the terms of the Exchange Agreement.  Bankers Trust also irrevocably
agreed to make all payments becoming due under the Golden American note and
to indemnify Golden American for any liability arising from the note.

In the ordinary course of business, the company is engaged in litigation,
none of which management believes is material.

NOTE 6 -- ACQUISITION

On August 13, 1996, Equitable acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of BT Variable from Whitewood, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust,
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement dated as of May 3, 1996
between Equitable and Whitewood.  As noted above, BT Variable, in turn, owned
all the outstanding capital stock of Golden American and all of the
outstanding capital stock of DSI.  In exchange for the outstanding capital
stock of BT Variable, Equitable paid the sum of $93,000,000 in cash to
Whitewood in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.  Equitable
also paid the sum of $51,000,000 in cash to Bankers Trust to retire certain
debt owed by BT Variable to Bankers Trust pursuant to a revolving credit
arrangement.  On August 14, 1996, BT Variable, Inc. was formally renamed EIC
Variable, Inc.

The purchase price was allocated to the three companies purchased - BT
Variable, DSI and Golden American.  Goodwill was established for the excess
cost over net assets acquired plus $965,000 of estimated acquisition costs and
pushed down to Golden American.  The allocation of the purchase price is
preliminary with respect to the final settlement of taxes with Bankers Trust
and estimated acquisition costs and, as a result, goodwill may change.  The
allocation of the purchase price to Golden American was approximately
$139,872,000.  The amount of goodwill relating to the acquisition was
$39,207,000 at August 13, 1996, and is being amortized over 25 years on a 
straight line basis.

The following unaudited pro forma information is presented as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995.  The information is combined to
reflect the purchase accounting in the pre-acquisition periods of January 1,
1996 through August 13, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. This information is intended for informational purposes only and may
not be indicative of the company's future results of operations.

</TABLE>

The primary pro forma effects are revised amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs, present value of in force acquired, unearned revenue,
goodwill and the elimination of deferred tax benefits.



A portion of the acquisition cost was allocated to the right to receive
future cash flows from the insurance contracts existing with Golden American
at the date of acquisition.  This allocated cost represents the present value
of in force acquired ("PVIF") which reflects the estimated fair value of
those purchased policies.  The expected future cash flows used to determine
the fair value are based on actuarially determined projected net cash flows
from the acquired insurance contracts.

An analysis of the PVIF asset is as follows:

</TABLE>

Interest is imputed on the unamortized balance of PVIF at rates of 7.70% to
7.80%.  PVIF is charged to expense and adjusted for the unrealized gains
(losses) on available for sale securities.  Based on current conditions and
assumptions as to the effect of future events on acquired policies in force,
the expected approximate amortization for the fourth quarter of 1996 and the
next five years, relating to the balance of the PVIF as of September 30,
1996, is as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze the company's condensed
results of operations.  This analysis should be read in conjunction with the
condensed financial statements and related notes which appear elsewhere in
this report.

On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable") acquired all of
the outstanding capital stock of BT Variable, Inc. ("BT Variable") from
Whitewood Properties Corp. ("Whitewood"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Bankers Trust, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as
of May 3, 1996 between Equitable and Whitewood (the "Purchase Agreement"). BT
Variable owned all the outstanding capital stock of Golden American Life
Insurance Company ("Golden American") and all of the outstanding capital
stock of Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI").  In exchange for the outstanding
capital stock of BT Variable, Equitable paid the sum of $93,000,000 in cash
to Whitewood in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Equitable also paid the sum of $51,000,000 in cash to Bankers Trust to retire
certain debt owed by BT Variable to Bankers Trust pursuant to a revolving
credit arrangement.  On August 14, 1996, BT Variable, Inc. was formally
renamed EIC Variable, Inc. ("EIC Variable").

For financial statement purposes, the change in control of Golden American
through the acquisition to BT Variable was accounted for as a purchase
acquisition effective August 14, 1996.  The effects of the acquisition have
resulted in a new basis of accounting reflecting estimated fair values for
assets and liabilities at that date.  As a result, Golden American's
financial statements for periods subsequent to August 13, 1996, are presented
on the Post-Acquisition new basis of accounting, while the financial
statements for August 13, 1996 and prior periods are presented on the Pre-
Acquisition historical cost basis of accounting.

The purchase price was allocated to the three companies purchased - BT
Variable, DSI, and Golden American.  Goodwill relating to the acquisition was
established for the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the
net assets acquired plus $965,000 of estimated acquisition costs and pushed
down to Golden American.  The purchase price is preliminary with respect to
the final settlement of taxes with Bankers Trust and estimated acquisition
costs and as a result, goodwill may change.  The allocation of the purchase
price to Golden American was approximately $139,872,000.  The amount of
goodwill relating to the acquisition was $39,207,000 at August 13, 1996, and 
is being amortized over 25 years on a straight line basis.

The analysis following combines the post-acquisition and pre-acquisition
activity for 1996 in order to compare the results to 1995.  Such a comparison
does not recognize the impact of the purchase accounting and goodwill
amortization except for the period after August 13, 1996.

Total revenues increased $2,307,000, or 35.3%, in the third quarter and
$6,010,000 or 35.9%, in the first nine months of 1996.  Annuity and life
product fees and policy charges increased $249,000, or 5.1%, in the third
quarter and $734,000, or 5.3%, in the first nine months of 1996, in
conjunction with the growth in the company's policyholder liabilities.

American was amended to provide for a management fee from DSI to Golden
American for certain managerial and supervisory services provided by Golden
American.  This fee, calculated as a percentage of average assets in the
variable separate accounts, was $560,000 for the third quarter of 1996 and
$1,670,000 for the first nine months of 1996.

Net investment income increased $2,180,000, or 254.5%, in the third quarter
and $4,668,000, or 236.0%, in the first nine months of 1996 due to the
increase in invested assets.  The company had realized losses on the sale of
investments of $2,000 in the third quarter and $420,000 in the first nine
months of 1996, compared to gains of $83,000 and $71,000 in the same periods
of 1995.  Realized losses in the first nine months of 1996 were the result of
voluntary sales.

Interest credited to account balances increased $2,454,000 or 557.5% in the
third quarter and $5,137,000 or 610.4% in the first nine months of 1996 as a
result of increases in policy account values.

General expenses decreased $301,000 or 8.0% in the third quarter and
increased $881,000 or 8.8% in the first nine months of 1996.  The increase in
the first nine months of 1996 was primarily a result of the increase in
policies in force.  Commissions increased $2,846,000 or 144.6% in the third
quarter and $13,323,000 or 249.3% in the first nine months of 1996.  Insurance
taxes increased $746,000 or 530.6% in the third quarter and $733,000 or
112.2% in the first nine months of 1996.  Deferral of policy acquisition
costs increased $3,312,000 or 138.6% in the third quarter and $14,824,000 or
208.8% in the first nine months of 1996.  The increase in the above expenses
is the result of the growth in sales.

The company's deferred policy acquisition costs ("DPAC"), previous balance of
present value of in force acquired ("PVIF") and unearned revenue reserve, as
of the purchase date, were eliminated and an asset representing the PVIF was
established for all policies in force at the acquisition date.  PVIF is
amortized into income over the expected gross profits of the in force
acquired in a manner similar to DPAC amortization.  Any expenses which vary
with the sales of the company's products subsequent to the acquisition date
are deferred and amortized. The amortization of PVIF and DPAC increased
$1,230,000 or 94.5% in the third quarter and $1,154,000 or 34.7% in the first
nine months of 1996.  This increase is the result of an increase in balances
for DPAC and PVIF.  The elimination of the unearned revenue reserve, related
to in force acquired at the acquisition date, will result in lower annuity
and universal life product fees and policy charges.

Income
- ------

Net income on a combined basis for the third quarter of 1996 was $964,000, a
decrease of $101,000 or 9.5% from the third quarter of 1995. Net income on a
combined basis for the first nine months of 1996 was $3,472,000, an increase
of $1,296,000 or 59.6% from the first nine months of 1995.

                    APPENDIX:  DESCRIPTION OF BOND RATINGS

     Excerpts from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's) description of its
bond ratings:

     Aaa: Judged to be the best quality; they carry the smallest degree of
investment risk.

     Aa:  Judged to be of high quality by all standards; together with the Aaa
     group, they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds.

     A:   Possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered
     as "upper medium grade obligations."

     Baa: Considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly
     protected nor poorly secured; interest payments and principal security
     appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
     lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
     time.

     Ba:  Judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered
     as well assured.

     B:   Generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment.

     Caa: Are of poor standing; such issues may be in default or there may be
     present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

     Ca:  Speculative in a high degree; often in default.

     C:   Lowest rate class of bonds; regarded as having extremely poor
     prospects.

Moody's also applies numerical indicators 1, 2 and 3 to rating categories.  The
modifier 1 indicates that the security is in the higher end of its rating
category; 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and 3 indicates a ranking toward the
lower end of the category.

Excerpts from Standard & Poor's Rating Group ("Standard & Poor's") description
of its bond ratings:

     AAA: Highest grade obligations; capacity to pay interest and repay
     principal is extremely strong.

     AA:  Also qualify as high grade obligations; a very strong capacity to pay
     interest and repay principal and differs from AAA issues only in small
     degree.

     A:   Regarded as upper medium grade; they have a strong capacity to pay
     interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to
     the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions
     than debt in higher rated categories.

     BBB: Regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay
     principal; whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
     adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to
     lead to a weakened capacity than in higher rated categories -- this group
     is the lowest which qualifies for commercial bank investment.

     BB, B,
     CCC,
     CC:  Predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and
     repay principal in accordance with terms of the obligation:  BB indicates
     the lowest degree of speculation and CC the highest.

Standard & Poor's applies indicators "+," no character, and "-" to its rating
categories.  The indicators show relative standing within the major rating
categories.

This Statement of Additional Information provides background information
regarding Account B.


                DESCRIPTION OF GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

   
Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") is a stock life
insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Prior to
December 30, 1993, Golden American was a Minnesota corporation.  From January 2,
1973 through December 31, 1987, the name of the company was St. Paul Life
Insurance Company.  On December 31, 1987, after all of St. Paul Life Insurance
Company's business was sold, the name was changed to Golden American.  On March
7, 1988, all of the stock of Golden American was acquired by The Golden
Financial Group, Inc. ("GFG"), a financial services holding company.  On October
19, 1990, GFG merged with and into MBL Variable, Inc. ("MBLV"), a wholly owned
direct subsidiary of The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company ("MBL").  On
January 1, 1991, MBLV became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of MBL and
Golden American became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of MBL.  Golden
American's name had been changed to MB Variable Life Insurance Company in the
state of Minnesota but subsequently has been changed back to Golden American.
In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Golden American was acquired
by a subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). As of December 31,
1995, Golden American had over $98.1 million in stockholders' equity and
approximately $1.2 billion in total assets, including approximately $1.05
billion of separate account assets.  On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa 
Companies acquired all of the interest in BT Variable, Inc., the corporate
parent of Golden American and Directed Services, Inc. and changed the name of
BT Variable, Inc.'s name to EIC Variable, Inc. (EIC Variable").  Golden American
is authorized to do business in all jurisdictions except New York.  Golden
American offers variable annuities and variable life insurance. Golden American
has formed a subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New
York ("First Golden"), who will write variable life and annuity business in the
state of New York. The initial capitalization of First Golden was $25 million.
    

                                SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS

Golden American acts as its own custodian for Account B.

                                  THE ADMINISTRATOR

Effective January 1, 1994, Bankers Trust (Delaware), a subsidiary of Bankers
Trust New York Corporation, and Golden American became parties to a service
agreement pursuant to which Bankers Trust (Delaware) has agreed to provide
certain accounting, actuarial, tax, underwriting, sales, management and other
services to Golden American.  Expenses incurred by Bankers Trust (Delaware) in
relation to this service agreement are reimbursed by Golden American on an
allocated cost basis. Charges billed to Golden American by Bankers Trust
(Delaware) pursuant to the service agreement in 1995 and 1994 were $749,741 and
$816,264, respectively.


Prior to 1994, Golden American had arranged with EIC Variable, at that time,
BT Variable, Inc., to perform services related to the development and
administration of its products.  For the year 1993 and the period from
September 30, 1992 to December 31, 1992, fees earned by EIC Variable from
Golden American for these services aggregated $2,701,000 and $209,000,
respectively.  The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.


In addition, EIC Variable provided to Golden American certain of its personnel
to perform management, administrative and clerical services and the use of
certain of its facilities.  EIC Variable charged Golden American for such
expenses and all other general and administrative costs, first on the basis of
direct charges when identifiable, and second allocated based on the estimated
amount of time spent by EIC Variable's employees on behalf of Golden American.
For the year 1993 and the period from September 30, 1992 to December 31, 1992,
EIC Variable allocated to Golden American $1,503,000 and $450,000, respectively.
The agreement was terminated on January 1, 1994.


                                 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     Ernst & Young LLP, 801 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50309, independent
auditors, will perform annual audits of Golden American and the Accounts.

                              DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS

Prior to 1994, Golden American had entered into agreements with DSI to perform
services related to the management of its investments and the distribution of
its products.  For the year 1993, Golden American incurred $311,000 for such
services.  The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.

DSI acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933
and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the variable insurance
products issued by Golden American which, as of December 31, 1994, are sold
primarily through two broker/dealer institutions.  For the years ended 1995,
1994 and 1993, commissions paid by Golden American to DSI aggregated $8,440,000,
$17,569,000 and $34,260,000 respectively.

Golden American provided to DSI certain of its personnel to perform management,
administrative and clerical services and the use of certain facilities.  Golden
American charged DSI for such expenses and all other general and administrative
costs, first on the basis of direct charges when identifiable, and the remainder
allocated based on the estimated amount of time spent by Golden American's
employees on behalf of DSI.  In the opinion of management, this method of cost
allocation is reasonable.  For the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,
expenses allocated to DSI were $1,983,000 and $2,013,000, respectively.  In
1995, the service agreement between DSI and Golden American was amended to
provide for a management fee from DSI to Golden American for managerial and
supervisory services provided by Golden American.  This fee calculated as a
percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts, was $986,650 for
1995.



                               PERFORMANCE INFORMATION


Performance information for the divisions of Account B, including the yield and
effective yield of the Liquid Asset Division, the yield of the remaining
divisions, and the total return of all divisions, may appear in reports or
promotional literature to current or prospective owners.  Negative values are
denoted by parentheses.  Performance information for measures other than total
return do not reflect sales load which can have a maximum level of 6.5% of
premium, and any applicable premium tax that can range from 0% to 3.5%.

SEC STANDARD MONEY MARKET DIVISION YIELDS
Current yield for the Liquid Asset Division will be based on the change in the
value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital changes) over a
particular 7-day period, less a pro-rata share of division expenses accrued over
that period (the "base period"), and stated as a percentage of the investment at
the start of the base period (the "base period return").  The base period return
is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent.  Calculation of
"effective yield" begins with the same "base period return" used in the
calculation of yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly compounding
pursuant to the following formula:

                                                           365/7
              Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return) + 1)      ] - 1
   
    For the 7-day period September 23, 1996 to September 30, 1996, the current 
yield of the Liquid Asset Division was 3.56% and the effective yield of the 
Division was 3.62%.
    

SEC STANDARD 30-DAY YIELD FOR NON-MONEY MARKET DIVISIONS
Quotations of yield for the remaining divisions will be based on all investment
income per Unit (accumulation value divided by the index of investment
experience) earned during a particular 30-day period, less expenses accrued
during the period ("net investment income"), and will be computed by dividing
net investment income by the value of an accumulation unit on the last day of
the period, according to the following formula:

                                     2

                                 6
         YIELD = 2 [ ( a - b  +1)  - 1]
                       -----
                        cd
    Where:
     [a]    equals the net investment income earned during the period by the
            Series attributable to shares owned by a division
     [b]    equals the expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)
     [c]    equals the average daily number of Units outstanding during the
            period based on the index of investment experience
     [d]    equals the value (maximum offering price) per index of investment
            experience on the last day of the period

Yield on divisions of Account B is earned from the increase in net asset value
of shares of the Series in which the Division invests and from dividends
declared and paid by the Series, which are automatically reinvested in shares of
the Series.

SEC STANDARD AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR NON-MONEY MARKET DIVISIONS
Quotations of average annual total return for any division will be expressed in
terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a hypothetical
investment in a Contract over a period of one, five and 10 years (or, if less,
up to the life of the division), calculated pursuant to the formula:

          n
    P(1+T) =ERV
    Where:
     (1)    [P] equals a hypothetical initial premium payment of $1,000
     (2)    [T] equals an average annual total return
     (3)    [n] equals the number of years
     (4)    [ERV] equals the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
            initial premium payment made at the beginning of the period (or
            fractional portion thereof)

All total return figures reflect the deduction of the maximum sales load, the
asset based administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge.
The SEC requires that an assumption be made that the contract owner surrenders
the entire contract at the end of the one, five and 10 year periods (or, if
less, up to the life of the security) for which performance is required to be
calculated.  This assumption may not be consistent with the typical contract
owner's intentions in purchasing a contract and may adversely affect returns.
Quotations of total return may simultaneously be shown for other periods, as
well as quotations of total return that do not take into account certain
contractual charges such as sales load.

NON-STANDARD AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR NON-MONEY MARKET DIVISIONS
Quotations of non-standard average annual total return for any division will be
expressed in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a
hypothetical investment in a Contract over a period of one, five and 10 years
(or, if less, up to the life of the division), calculated pursuant to the
formula:

           n

    Where:
     (1)    [P] equals a hypothetical initial premium payment of $1,000

     (4)    [ERV] equals the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
            initial premium payment made at the beginning of the period (or
            fractional portion thereof) assuming certain loading and charges

All total return figures reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk
charge and the administrative charges, but not the deduction of the maximum
sales load.

*  Total return calculation reflects partial waiver of fees and expenses.
** From its inception date until September 3, 1996, the Managed Global Account
   of Separate Account D was a registered management investment company.
   On that date it was reorganized into two entities:  the Managed Global
   Division of Separate Account B and the Managed Global Series of The
   GCG Trust.  Historical performance for the Managed Global Division
   remains unchanged by the reorganization.

Performance information for a division may be compared, in reports and
promotional literature, to: (i) the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P
500"), Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"), Donoghue Money Market
Institutional Averages, or other indices that measure performance of a pertinent
group of securities so that investors may compare a division's results with
those of a group of securities widely regarded by investors as representative of
the securities markets in general; (ii) other groups of variable annuity
separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds and
other investment companies by overall performance, investment objectives, and
assets, or tracked by other services, companies, publications, or persons who
rank such investment companies on overall performance or other criteria; and
(iii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to assess the real rate
of return from an investment in the Contract.  Unmanaged indices may assume the
reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deductions for
administrative and management costs and expenses.

Performance information for any division reflects only the performance of a
hypothetical Contract under which accumulation value is allocated to a division
during a particular time period on which the calculations are based.
Performance information should be considered in light of the investment
objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the

                                     4
<PAGE>

Series of the Trust in which the Account B divisions invest, and the market
conditions during the given time period, and should not be considered as a
representation of what may be achieved in the future.

Reports and promotional literature may also contain other information including
the ranking of any division derived from rankings of variable annuity separate
accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services or
by other rating services, companies, publications, or other persons who rank
separate accounts or other investment products on overall performance or other
criteria.

PUBLISHED RATINGS
From time to time, the rating of Golden American as an insurance company by A.M.
Best may be referred to in advertisements or in reports to contract owners.
Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of
insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings.  These ratings
reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating
performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the
life/health insurance industry.  Best's ratings range from A++ to F.  An A++
and A+ rating means, in the opinion of A.M. Best, that the insurer has 
demonstrated the strongest ability to meet its respective policyholder and 
other contractual obligations.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
For reporting purposes, the Global Account's portfolio turnover rate is
calculated by dividing the value of the lesser of purchases or sales of
portfolio securities for the fiscal year by the monthly average of the value of
the portfolio securities owned by the Global Account during the fiscal year.  In
determining such portfolio turnover, all securities whose maturities at the time
of acquisition were one year or less are excluded.  A 100% portfolio turnover
rate would occur, for example, if all the securities in the portfolio (other
than short-term securities) were replaced once during the fiscal year.

INDEX OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
The calculation of the Index of Investment Experience ("IIE") is discussed in
the prospectus for the Contracts under Measurement of Investment Experience.
The following illustrations show a calculation of a new IIE and the purchase of
Units (using hypothetical examples):

                            IRA PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION

If the contract owner has an IRA contract and will attain age 70 1/2 in the
current calendar year, distributions will be made in accordance with the
requirements of Federal tax law.  This option is available to assure that the
required minimum distributions from qualified plans under the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code") are made.  Under the Code, distributions must begin no later
than April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
contract owner attains age 70 1/2.  If the required minimum distribution is not
withdrawn, there may be a penalty tax in an amount equal to 50% of the
difference between the amount required to be withdrawn and the amount actually
withdrawn.  Even if the IRA partial withdrawal option is not elected,
distributions must nonetheless be made in accordance with the requirements of
Federal tax law.

Golden American notifies the contract owner of these regulations with a letter
mailed on January 1st of the calendar year in which the contract owner reaches
age 70 1/2 which explains the IRA Partial Withdrawal Option and supplies an
election form.  If electing this option, the owner specifies whether the
withdrawal amount will be based on a life expectancy calculated on a single life
basis (contract owner's life only) or, if the contract owner is married, on a
joint life basis (contract owner's and spouse's life combined).  The contract
owner selects the payment mode on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.  If the
payment mode selected on the election form is more frequent than annually, the
payments in the first calendar year in which the option is in effect will be
based on the amount of payment modes remaining when Golden American receives the
completed election form.

Golden American calculates the IRA Partial Withdrawal amount each year based on
the minimum distribution rules.  We do this by dividing the accumulation value
by the life expectancy.  In the first year withdrawals begin, we use the
accumulation value as of the date of the first payment.  Thereafter, we use the
accumulation value on December 31st of each year.  The life expectancy is
recalculated each year.  Certain minimum distribution rules govern payouts if
the designated beneficiary is other than the contract owner's spouse and the
beneficiary is more than ten years younger than the contract owner.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Variable Annuity Contract Owners
Separate Account B

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Separate Account B (the 'Account') as of December 31, 1995 and the related
combined statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the
three years in the period then ended. These fianancial statements are the
responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by correspondence with
the custodian. 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Separate Account B at
December 31, 1995, and the related combined results of their operations and 
changes in their net assets for each of the three years in the period then 
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                           /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995

1. ORGANIZATION

Separate Account B (the 'Account') was established on June 14, 1988, by
Golden American Life Insurance Company ('Golden American'), under Minnesota
insurance law to support the operations of variable annuity contracts
('Contracts'). Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Variable, Inc. ('BTV'), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ('Bankers Trust'). Previously, Golden
American was owned by Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company in Rehabilitation
('Mutual Benefit'). In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Bankers
Trust acquired from Mutual Benefit, in accordance with the terms of an Exchange
Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden American
and Directed Services, Inc. ('DSI'), an affiliate of Golden American, and
certain related assets and contributed them to BTV. The transaction had no
effect on the accompanying financial statements. Golden American is primarily
engaged in the issuance of variable insurance products and is licensed as a life
insurance company in the District of Columbia and all states except New York.
Effective December 30, 1993, Golden American was redomesticated from the State
of Minnesota to the State of Delaware.

Operations of the Account commenced on January 25, 1989. Golden American
provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the contracts by crediting
annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or to the
Golden American Guaranteed Interest Division, the Golden American Fixed Interest
Division, the Fixed Separate Account, and the Managed Global Division of
Separate Account D, which are not part of the Account, as elected by the
Contractowners. The assets of the Account are owned by Golden American. The
portion of the Account's assets applicable to Contracts will not be chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business Golden American may conduct,
but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments,
are obligations of Golden American.

The Account makes available, under Golden Select Contracts, thirteen investment
divisions: the Liquid Asset, the Limited Maturity Bond, the Natural Resources,
the All-Growth, the Real Estate, the Fully Managed, the Multiple Allocation, the
Capital Appreciation, the Rising Dividends (commenced operations October, 1993),
the Emerging Markets (commenced operations on October 4, 1993), the Market
Manager (commenced operations November, 1994) the Value Equity (commenced
operations January, 1995) and the Strategic Equity (commenced operations
October, 1995) Divisions ('Divisions'). The assets in each Division are
invested in shares of a designated series ('Series') of a mutual fund, The GCG
Trust (the 'Trust'). The Account also includes The Fund For Life Division, which
is not included in the accompanying financial statements, and which ceased to
accept new Contracts effective December 31, 1994.

The Account is a unit investment trust and is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The net assets maintained in the Account provide the basis for the periodic
determination of the amount of benefits under the Contracts. The net assets may
not be less than the amount required under state law to provide for death
benefits (without regard to the minimum death benefit guarantee) and other
Contract benefits. Additional assets are held in Golden American's general
account to cover the contingency that the guaranteed minimum death benefit might
exceed the death benefit which would have been payable in the absence of such
guarantee. Golden American has entered into reinsurance agreements with
unaffiliated reinsurers to cover substantially all the insurance risk under the
Contracts. Golden American remains liable to the extent that the reinsurers do
not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Account:

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

INVESTMENTS: Investments are made in shares of a Series of the Trust and are
valued at the net asset value per share of the respective Series of the Trust.

Investment transactions in each Series of the Trust are recorded on the trade
date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains of each Series of
the Trust are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses
on redemptions of the shares of the Series of the Trust are determined on the
identified cost basis.

For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 the cost of purchases of shares
of the Trust aggregated $228,738,000 and $352,605,000, respectively and the
proceeds from sales of shares of the Trust aggregated $226,848,000 and
$149,774,000, respectively.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed
with, the total operations of Golden American which is taxed as a life insurance
company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of
the Account attributable to the Contractowners are excluded in the determination
of the federal income tax liability of Golden American.

3. CHARGES AND FEES

Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts
to cover Golden American's expenses in connection with the issuance and
administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges:

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES: Golden American assumes mortality and
expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with
the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the
Account at annual rates of .80%, .90%, 1.25%, 1.10%, 1.25% and 1.40% of the
assets attributable to the DVA 80, DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA Plus-Standard,
DVA Plus-Annual Ratchet, and DVA Plus-7% Solution, respectively to cover these
risks.

ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: A daily charge at an annual rate of .10% is
deducted from assets attributable to DVA 100 and DVA Series 100 Contracts. A
daily charge at an annual rate of .15% is deducted from the assets attributable
to DVA Plus Contracts.

MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE CHARGE: For certain Contracts, a minimum death
benefit guarantee charge of up to $1.20 per $1,000 of guaranteed death benefit
per Contract year is deducted from the accumulation value of Deferred Annuity
Contracts on each Contract processing date.

PREMIUM TAXES: For certain contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where
applicable, from the accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing
of the deduction depend on the annuitant's state of residence and currently
ranges up to 3.5% of premiums.

OTHER CONTRACT CHARGES: An administrative charge of $40 per Contract year is
deducted from accumulation value of Deferred Annuity Contracts to cover ongoing
administrative expenses. The charge is deducted on the Contract processing date
at the end of the Contract processing period. This charge has been waived for
certain offerings of the Contract.

DEFERRED SALES LOAD: Under contracts offered prior to October 1995, a sales load
of up to 7 1/2% was applicable to each premium payment for sales-related
expenses as specified in the Contracts. For DVA Series 100 the sales load is
deducted in equal annual installments over the period the Contract is in force,
not to exceed 10 years. For other DVA 80 and DVA 100 Contracts, although the
sales load is chargeable to each premium when it is received by Golden American,
the amount of such charge is initially advanced by Golden American to
Contractowners and included in the accumulation value and then deducted in equal
installments on each Contract processing date over a period of six years. Upon
surrender of the Contract, the unamortized deferred sales load is deducted from
the accumulation value by Golden American. In addition, when partial withdrawal
limits are exceeded, a portion of the unamortized deferred sales load is
deducted.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: Under DVA Plus Contracts issued subsequent to
September 1995, a contingent sales charge ('Surrender Charges') is imposed as a
percentage of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered or an excess
partial withdrawal is taken during the seven year period from the date a premium
payment is received. The Surrender Charges are imposed at a rate of 7% during
the first two complete years after purchase declining to 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, and 1%
after the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years, respectively.

The net assets retained in the Account by Golden American in the accompanying
financial statements represent the unamortized deferred sales load, surrender
charges and premium taxes advanced by Golden American, noted above.

MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
 
The objective of the GoldenSelect Managed Global Account of Separate Account D
is long-term capital appreciation and international diversification.
 
The year saw fairly wide divergences in performance among foreign markets. Most
European exchanges recorded solid gains, while many of the emerging markets,
particularly in Asia, suffered losses. Japan, after falling sharply in the
year's first six months, staged a powerful recovery at midyear and finished the
year even.
 
Japan remains the Account's largest commitment to a single country, at 32% of
the portfolio. The Portfolio Manager is encouraged by developments in the
Japanese economy, and is equally optimistic about the stock market's prospects
in 1996.
 
Emerging markets, collectively, suffered in 1995, and as a result valuations are
now lower than they have been in several years. The Portfolio Manager sees many
attractive opportunities in emerging markets as 1996 begins, particularly in
Asia, which represents the major focus of the Account's emerging-market
exposure.
 
As 1996 begins, the Portfolio Manager's outlook on international equity markets
is, in general, positive, and believes that the Account is well-positioned with
regard to its regional and country allocations and its specific holdings.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                           THE MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
                                       OF
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
 
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Managed Global Account of Separate Account D (the 'Account') is registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as a non-diversified open-end investment company and meets the
definition of a separate account under federal securities laws. The Account was
established on April 18, 1990, by Golden American Life Insurance Company
('Golden American'), to support the operations of variable annuity contracts
('Contracts'). Golden American, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Variable, Inc.
('BTV'), an indirect subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ('Bankers Trust'), is a
stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware.
Golden American is primarily engaged in the issuance of variable insurance
products and is authorized to do business in the District of Columbia and in all
states except New York.
 
Operations on the Account commenced on October 21, 1992. Golden American
provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting
annuity considerations to the Account at the direction of contractholders. The
assets of the Account are owned by Golden American. The portion of the Account's
assets applicable to Contracts will not be chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business Golden American may conduct, but obligations of the
Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of
Golden American.
 
The net assets maintained in the Account provide the basis for the periodic
determination of the amount of benefits under the Contracts. The net assets may
not be less than the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the
Account. Golden American has entered into a reinsurance agreement with an
affiliated reinsurer to cover insurance risks under the Contracts. Golden
American remains liable to the extent that the reinsurer does not meet its
obligations under the reinsurance agreement.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Account in the
preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
(A) VALUATION: Domestic and foreign portfolio securities, except as noted below,
for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value.
Market value is determined on the basis of the last reported sales price in the
principal market where such securities are traded or, if no sales are reported,
the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a
quotation reporting system or from established market makers.
 
Long-term debt securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment
agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and
dealers or pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as
institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality,
coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market
data. Under certain circumstances, long-term debt securities having a maturity
of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost. Short-term debt
securities are valued at their amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Amortized cost involves valuing a portfolio security instrument at its cost,
initially, and thereafter, assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on
the market value of the instrument.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of the Board
of Governors.
 
(B) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Account may engage in various
portfolio strategies, as described below, to seek to manage its exposure to
equity markets and to manage fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Forward
foreign currency exchange contracts to buy, writing puts and buying calls tend
to increase the Account's exposure to the underlying market or currency. Forward
foreign currency exchange contracts to sell, buying puts and writing calls tend
to decrease the Account's exposure to the underlying market or currency. In some
instances, investments in derivative financial instruments may involve, to
varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Losses may arise under
these contracts due to the existence of an illiquid secondary market for the
contracts, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. An
additional primary risk associated with the use of certain of these contracts
may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
derivative financial instruments and the price of the underlying securities,
indices or currency.
 
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Account may enter into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts. The Account will enter in forward foreign
currency exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
                           THE MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
                                       OF
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the applicable
forward rate, and are marked to market daily. The change in market value is
recorded by the Account as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is
closed, the Account records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts limit
the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also
limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency
increase. In addition, the Account could be exposed to risks if the
counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
Open contracts at December 31, 1995 and their related unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) are set forth in the Schedule of Forward Foreign Currency
Exchange Contracts which accompanies the Portfolio of Investments. Realized and
unrealized gain/(loss) arriving from forward foreign currency exchange contracts
are included in net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on forward foreign
currency exchange contracts.
 
OPTIONS: The Account may engage in option transactions. When the Account writes
an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Account is reflected
as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is
subsequently marked to market on a daily basis to reflect the current value of
the option written.
 
When a security is sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium
received (or paid) is deducted from (or added to) the basis of the security
sold. When an option expires (or the Account enters into a closing transaction),
the Account realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums
received or paid (or gain or loss to the premium paid or received). The Account
did not write options during the year ended December 31, 1995. Realized gains
arising from purchased options are included in the net realized gain/(loss) on
security transactions.
 
(C) FOREIGN CURRENCY: Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
and commitments under forward foreign currency exchange contracts are translated
into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such
currencies against the U.S. dollar as of the close of business immediately
preceding the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were
acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at rates of exchange
prevailing when accrued.
 
The Account does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) from securities.
 
Reported net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arise
from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Account's books, and the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized
gains and losses on other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than
investments in securities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from
changes in the exchange rate.
 
(D) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Account may enter into repurchase agreements in
accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Governors of the Account.
The Account bears a risk of loss in the event that the other party to a
repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Account is delayed or
prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the underlying securities
received as collateral including the risk of a possible decline in the value of
the underlying securities during the period while the Account seeks to exercise
its rights. The Account takes possession of the collateral and reviews the value
of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which
the Account enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks. The
market value of the underlying securities received as collateral must be at
least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of
counterparty default, the Account has the right to use the underlying securities
to offset the loss.
 
(E) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income (including amortization of premium and discount on securities)
and expenses are accrued daily. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis which is the same basis
used for federal income tax purposes.
 
(F) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of Golden American, which is taxed as a life
insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital
gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are excluded in the
determination of the federal income tax liability of Golden American.

                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
 
2. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

OPERATING EXPENSES: Directed Services, Inc. ('DSI'), a wholly owned subsidiary
of BTV, serves as Manager to the Account pursuant to a Management Agreement.
Under the Management Agreement, DSI has overall responsibility, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Governors, for administrating all operations of the
Account and for monitoring and evaluating the management of the assets of the
Account by the Portfolio Manager. In consideration for these services, the
Account pays DSI a management fee based upon the following annual percentage of
the Account's average daily net assets: 0.40% of the first $500 million and
0.30% of the amount over $500 million. Warburg, Pincus Counsellors, Inc.
('Warburg') serves as the Portfolio Manager of the Account and in that capacity
provides investment advisory services for the Account including asset allocation
and security selection. In consideration for these services, Warburg is paid an
advisory fee by the Account, payable monthly, based on the average daily net
assets of the Account at an annual rate of 0.60% of the first $500 million and
0.50% on the excess thereof. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Account
incurred management and advisory fees of $293,930 and $440,770, respectively.
 
The Account bears the expenses of its investment management operations,
including expenses associated with custody of securities, portfolio accounting,
the Board of Governors, legal and auditing services, registration fees and other
related operating expenses. Bankers Trust is the custodian of the assets in the
Account. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Account incurred $111,693 for
custodian fees. In addition, the Account reimburses Golden American for certain
organization expenses (See Note 4). At December 31, 1995, a total of $1,684 was
payable to DSI and Golden American for management and reimbursement of
organization expenses.
 
Certain officers and governors of the Account are also officers and/or directors
of the Manager, Golden American, BTV and Bankers Trust.
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES: Golden American assumes mortality and
expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with
the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the
Account at annual rates of 0.80%, 0.90%, 1.25%, 1.10%, 1.25% and 1.40% of the
assets attributable to DVA 80, DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA Plus-Standard, DVA
Plus-Annual Ratchet and DVA Plus-7% Solution, respectively, to cover these
risks. Golden American did not deduct mortality and expense risk charges and
asset based administrative charges from the DVA Plus Contract assets until
November 1995, upon which it received exemptive relief from the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
 
ASSET BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: To compensate Golden American for the
administrative expenses under the Contracts, a daily charge at an annual rate of
0.10% is deducted from assets attributable to the DVA 100 and DVA Series 100
Contracts. A daily charge of 0.15% is deducted from the assets attributable to
DVA Plus Contracts.
 
OTHER CONTRACT CHARGES: An administrative fee of $40 per Contract year is
deducted from the accumulation value of certain DVA 80 and DVA 100 Contracts.
Under DVA Plus Contracts issued subsequent to September of 1995, an excess
allocation charge of $25 per allocation may be imposed by Golden American after
the twelfth allocation change in a contract year. Under DVA 80, DVA 100 and DVA
Series 100 Contracts ('Previous Contracts'), a partial withdrawal charge of the
lower of 2% of the withdrawal or $25 is deducted from the accumulation for each
additional partial withdrawal in a Contract year. In addition, under the
Previous Contracts, there is an excess allocation charge of $25 for each
allocation change between divisions in excess of the five free changes allowed
per contract year.
 
DEFERRED SALES LOAD: Under contracts offered prior to October of 1995, a sales
load of up to 6.50% was applicable to each premium payment for sales related
expenses as specified in the Contracts. For DVA Series 100 Contracts, the sales
load is deducted in equal annual installments over the period the Contract is in
force, not to exceed 10 years. For DVA 80 and DVA 100 Contracts, although the
sales load is chargeable to each premium when it is received by Golden American,
the amount of such charge is initially advanced by Golden American to
Contractowners and included in the accumulation value and then deducted in equal
installments on each Contract processing date over a period of six years. For
the year ended December 31, 1995, contract sales loads of $1,124,480 initially
advanced by Golden American to the Account were deducted from contractowners'
accumulation value. Upon surrender of the Contract, the unamortized deferred
sales load is deducted from the accumulation value by Golden American. In
addition, when partial withdrawal limits are exceeded, a portion of the
unamortized deferred sales load is deducted.
 
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: Under DVA Plus Contracts issued subsequent to
September of 1995, a contingent deferred sales charge ('Surrender Charges') is
imposed as a percentage of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered
or an excess partial withdrawal is taken during the seven year period from the
date a premium payment is received. The Surrender Charges are imposed at a rate
of 7% of the premium payment during the first two complete years after purchase
declining to 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, and 1% after the second, third, fourth, fifth and
sixth complete years, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1995, Golden
American collected Surrender Charges in the amount of $15.

PREMIUM TAXES: Premium taxes are deducted, where applicable, from the
accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing of the deduction
depend on the annuitant's state of residence and currently ranges up to 3.5% of
premiums. Premium taxes are generally incurred on the annuity commencement date
and a charge for such premium taxes is then deducted from the accumulation value
on such date. However, some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time the
initial and additional premiums are paid, regardless of the annuity commencement
date. In those states, Golden American advances the amount of the charge for
premium taxes to Contractowners and then deducts it from the accumulation value
in equal installments on each contract processing date over a six year period.
Golden American is currently waiving the deduction of the applicable
installments of the charge for premium taxes previously advanced by Golden
American to Contractowners. Golden American reserves the right to deduct the
total amount of the charge for premium taxes previously waived and unrecovered
on the annuity commencement date or upon surrender of the Contract.
 
EXPENSE LIMITATION: The Account and DSI entered into an agreement to limit the
ordinary operating expenses of the Account, excluding, among other things,
mortality and expense risk charges, asset based administrative charges, interest
expense, and other contractual charges, through December 31, 1995, so that such
expenses do not exceed on an annual basis 1.25% of the first $500 million of the
average daily net assets and 1.05% of the excess over $500 million. For the year
ended December 31, 1995, $63,386 was reimbursed by DSI to the Account pursuant
to this limitation. Such agreement existed under the same terms for the year
ended December 31, 1994.
 
DSI, a registered broker/dealer, acts as the distributor and principal
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended) of the Contracts issued through the Account. For the
years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, fees paid by Golden
American to DSI in connection with sales of the contracts aggregated
approximately $446,000 and $1,343,000, respectively.
 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
 
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities,
during the year ended December 31, 1995, were $30,992,571 and $4,817,671,
respectively.
 
At December 31, 1995, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities
in which there is an excess of value over tax cost and aggregate gross
unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax
cost over value were $8,320,461 and $4,817,671, respectively.
 
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the portfolio turnover rate was 44%.
 
4. ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
The initial organizational expenses of the Account of approximately $150,000
were paid by Golden American. The Account reimburses Golden American monthly for
such expenses ratably over a period of sixty months from the date of the
Account's commencement of operations. At December 31, 1995, the unamortized
balance of such expenses was $75,090. It is Golden American's intention not to
seek reimbursement for any unpaid amounts should the account cease operations.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
                           THE MANAGED GLOBAL ACCOUNT
                                       OF
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT D
 
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 13, 1996, under the terms of a stock purchase agreement, Equitable
of Iowa Companies acquired all of the interest in BTV from Whitewood Properties
Corp., a subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company.  DSI and Golden American are 
wholly owned subsidiaries of BTV. 

In addition at a special meeting held on August 8, 1996, the contractholders
approved the reorganization of the Account from a separate account of Golden
American register as a management investment company toa newly created division
(the "Division") of Separate Account B, an existing separate account of Golden
American which is registered as a unit investment trust.  On the date of
reorganization, which is anticipated to be September 3, 1996, the Account will
transfer all of its assets to the Division.  The Division will simultaneously
exchange these assets to the Managed Global Series of the The GCG Trust in
consideration for shares of the Series.  The Managed Global Series is a newly
created Series of The GCG Trust.  Ths GCG Trust is and existing open-end 
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 
1940.

If this reorganization, described above, had taken place on December 31, 1995,
the unit values and net assets of the Division would have been the same as
reflected in the Account's financial statements contained herein.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Contractowners and Board of Governors
The Managed Global Account of Separate Account D
 
     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Managed Global Account of Separate Account D, including the portfolio of
investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities
held by the custodian as of December 31, 1995 and confirmation of securities not
held by the custodian by correspondence with others. 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 and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Managed Global Account of Separate Account D at December 31, 1995, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for
each of the indicated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                    GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
1. ORGANIZATION
  Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American Life Insurance Company
("Golden American") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Variable, Inc.
("BTV"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ("Bank-
ers Trust"). Previously, Golden American was owned by Mutual Benefit Life In-
surance Company in Rehabilitation ("Mutual Benefit"). Golden American is pri-
marily engaged in the issuance of variable insurance products and is licensed
as a life insurance company in the District of Columbia and all states except
New York. Effective December 30, 1993, Golden American was redomesticated from
the State of Minnesota to the State of Delaware.
 
  In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Bankers Trust acquired
from Mutual Benefit, in accordance with the terms of an Exchange Agreement,
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden American and Di-
rected Services, Inc. ("DSI"), an affiliate of Golden American, and certain
related assets and contributed them to BTV. The portion of the aggregate con-
sideration exchanged by Bankers Trust, allocable to Golden American, was val-
ued at approximately $11,600 thousand, subject to subsequent adjustment pursu-
ant to the Exchange Agreement. This allocation was based primarily on the
estimated value of insurance contracts in force and also included the acquisi-
tion of net tangible assets of $400 thousand. The transaction involved settle-
ment of pre-existing claims of Bankers Trust against Mutual Benefit. The ulti-
mate value of these claims has not yet been determined by the Superior Court
of New Jersey and is contingently supported by a $5,000 thousand note payable
from Golden American and a $6,000 thousand letter of credit from Bankers
Trust. The Golden American note is secured by a pledge of Golden American's
right to receive certain deferred sales loads. Bankers Trust has estimated
that the contingent liability due from Golden American amounted to $439 thou-
sand at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Golden American deposited with an escrow
agent $1,225 thousand and $1,300 thousand in 1995 and 1994, respectively, pur-
suant to certain provisions of the Exchange Agreement.
 
  In addition, concurrent with the closing, Bankers Trust entered into an
agreement with Golden American to cause Golden American, commencing with the
closing and for so long as Bankers Trust continues to own, directly or indi-
rectly, all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden American, to
have at all times statutory capital and surplus of no less than the sum of (i)
$5,000 thousand and (ii) an amount equal to 1% of the statutory-basis separate
account liabilities of Golden American. During 1995, 1994, and 1993 BTV con-
tributed additional capital and paid-in surplus of $7,944 thousand, $8,750
thousand, and $16,000 thousand, respectively, to Golden American. In 1994,
Golden American issued $50,000 thousand of preferred stock that was purchased
by BTV for $50,000 thousand in cash.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accom-
panying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Basis of Presentation
  The accompanying financial statements have been presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The acquisition of Golden
American has been accounted for as a purchase by Bankers Trust and, according-
ly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair
values at September 30, 1992. In accordance with requirements of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission, this new basis of accounting has been "pushed
down" to Golden American.
 
Investments
  Fixed maturities are considered available for sale and are carried at market
in 1995. Previously fixed maturities were treated as held until maturity and
carried at cost. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approxi-
mates market. Equity securities, principally investments

                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
in mutual funds, are carried at market based on quoted market prices. Net
unrealized appreciation of equity securities is included as a component of
stockholder's equity. The cost of investments sold is determined by using the
specific identification method.
 
Variable Life and Annuity Products
  Variable life and annuity products include individual and group flexible
premium variable life insurance policies and annuity products. Golden American
provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the policies and con-
tracts by crediting life and annuity considerations in accordance with
contractholder direction to one or more divisions within various variable sep-
arate accounts or fixed interest divisions. Golden American's fixed interest
divisions include the Guaranteed Interest Division, the Fixed Interest Divi-
sion, and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Interest separate account.
 
Separate Accounts
  Variable separate accounts assets and liabilities reported in the accompany-
ing balance sheets represent funds that are separately administered princi-
pally for variable life policies and annuity contracts and for which the poli-
cyholders and contractholders rather than Golden American bear the investment
risk. At the direction of the policyowners and contractholders, the separate
accounts invest the premium and annuity considerations from the sale of vari-
able life and annuity products either in shares of specified mutual funds or
directly in other investments. The assets and liabilities of Golden American's
separate accounts are clearly identified and segregated from other assets and
liabilities of Golden American. The portion of the separate account assets ap-
plicable to variable life policies and variable annuity contracts cannot be
charged with liabilities arising out of any other business Golden American may
conduct.
 
  Variable separate account assets carried at fair value of the underlying in-
vestments generally represent policyowner and contractholder investment values
maintained in the accounts. Variable separate account liabilities represent
account balances for the variable life policies and annuity contracts invested
in the separate accounts. Net investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses related to separate account assets are not reflected
in the accompanying statements of operations of Golden American.
 
Revenue Recognition
  Revenues from variable life and annuity products consists of charges for
mortality and expense risk, cost of insurance, contract administration, and
surrender charges, as applicable to each contract. In addition, most life and
annuity contracts provide for a distribution fee collected for a limited num-
ber of years after each premium deposit, as defined in each applicable con-
tract. For life contracts, the distribution fee is based on the premiums col-
lected, the face amount issued, and the underwriting characteristics of each
insured. For annuity contracts, the distribution fee is based on the amount of
premiums collected and allocated to the variable separate accounts. Revenue
recognition of collected distribution fees is amortized over the life of the
contract in proportion to its expected gross profits. The balance of unrecog-
nized revenue related to the distribution fees is reported as unearned reve-
nue.
 
Costs Assigned to Insurance Contracts in Force
  The costs assigned to insurance contracts in force represents the value of
the right to receive future profits from the life insurance and annuity poli-
cies existing at the date of acquisition from Mutual Benefit. Such value is
the actuarially-determined present value of projected future profits from the
acquired contracts discounted at an interest rate of 15%. Costs assigned to

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
  Deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of commissions, certain
underwriting expenses and the costs of issuing policies that vary with and are
directly related to the production of new and renewal business. Acquisition
costs for variable life and annuity products are being amortized over the
lives of the policies in relation to the present value of estimated future
gross profits. The future gross profit estimates are subject to periodic eval-
uation with necessary revisions applied against amortization to date.
 
Insurance and Annuity Reserves
  Insurance and annuity reserves represent variable life and annuity account
balances invested in the fixed interest divisions, policy loan balances on
variable life policies, and supplementary contract reserves on annuitized pol-
icies. Interest credited rates for the fixed interest divisions ranged from 4%
to 7% during 1995 and 1994.
 
Policy Benefits
  Policy benefits that are charged to expense include benefits incurred in the
period in excess of the related policy account balances and interest credited
to policy account balances invested in the fixed interest divisions.
 
Reinsurance
  Included in the accompanying financial statements are net considerations to
reinsurers of $2,800 thousand and $2,400 thousand and net policy benefits re-
coveries of $3,500 thousand and $1,900 thousand in 1995 and 1994, respective-
ly. Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American terminated all reinsurance
agreements with Mutual Benefit. Subsequently, Golden American entered into
agreements covering substantially all of the mortality risks under both life
policies and annuity contracts with unaffiliated reinsurers. Golden American
remains liable to the extent that its reinsurers do not meet their obligations
under the reinsurance agreements. Reinsurance in-force for life mortality
risks were $24,700 thousand and $23,000 thousand at December 31, 1995 and 1994
and for annuity mortality risks were $83,500 thousand and $149,600 thousand at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  Effective June 1, 1994, Golden American entered into a reinsurance agreement

ing financial statements are presented net of the effects of the treaty which
reduced net income by $109 thousand and $27 thousand in 1995 and 1994, respec-
tively.
 
Cash Equivalents
  The Company considers all short-term investments (including commercial pa-
per, money markets, and certificates of deposit) with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
  Golden American has evaluated its financial instruments, principally short-
term investments, policy loans, the adjustable principal amount promissory
note, and insurance and annuity reserves and determined that carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheets approximate fair value.

  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, gross unrealized (depreciation) appreciation
of marketable equity securities recognized directly in stockholder's equity
was $3 thousand and $(1) thousand, respectively.
 
  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, $2,711 thousand and $2,695 thousand, respec-
tively, in principal amount of fixed maturity investments were on deposit with
regulatory authorities pursuant to certain statutory requirements.
 
5. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
  The payment of cash dividends by Golden American is subject to statutory re-
strictions equal to the higher of 10% of surplus as regards policyholders or
100% of the prior year's net gain, not to exceed unassigned surplus. The maxi-
mum dividend payout which may be made without prior approval in 1996 is $6,636
thousand. Golden American is required to maintain a minimum total statutory-
basis capital and surplus of not less than $5,000 thousand under the provi-
sions of the insurance laws of certain states in which it is presently li-
censed to sell variable life and annuity products.
 
  A reconciliation of Golden American's GAAP-basis stockholder's equity as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and net loss for the years ended December 31, 1995

that the amount of capital maintained by an insurance company is to be deter-
mined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 1995
and 1994, Golden American met the RBC requirements.
 
  On December 30, 1994, Golden American issued 10,000 shares of Redeemable
Preferred Stock. Dividends declared and paid on the Redeemable Preferred Stock
were $3.35 million or $334.79 per share in 1995. As of December 31, 1994, Div-
idends in Arrears on the Redeemable Preferred Stock were $17.9 thousand or
$1.79 per share. The dividends are cumulative and are calculated based on a
rate not to exceed the sum of the Prime Rate and 1.5%. The Redeemable Pre-
ferred Stock is redeemable at the option of Golden American at the redemption
price of $5 thousand per share subject to appropriate regulatory approvals.
 
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
  DSI acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of
1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the variable in-
surance products issued by Golden American which as of December 31, 1995, are
sold primarily through two broker/dealer institutions. For the years ended De-
cember 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, commissions paid by Golden American to DSI ag-
gregated $8,440 thousand, $17,569 thousand, and $34,260 thousand, respective-
ly.
 
  Golden American provided to DSI certain of its personnel to perform manage-
ment, administrative and clerical services and the use of certain facilities.
Golden American charged DSI for such expenses and all other general and admin-
istrative costs, first on the basis of direct charges when identifiable, and
the remainder allocated based on the estimated amount of time spent by Golden
American's employees on behalf of DSI. In the opinion of management, this
method of cost allocation is reasonable. For the years ended December 31, 1994
and 1993, expenses allocated to DSI were $1,983 thousand and $2,013 thousand,
respectively, which were comprised of allocated salary charges, premise and
equipment charges, and other expenses.
 
  In 1995, the service agreement between DSI and Golden American was amended
to provide for a management fee from DSI to Golden American. This fee, for
managerial and supervisory services provided by Golden American calculated as
a percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts, was $987
thousand for 1995.
 
  Prior to 1994, Golden American had entered into agreements with DSI to per-
form services related to the management of its investments and the distribu-
tion of its products. For the year 1993, Golden American incurred $311 thou-
sand for such services. The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.
 
  Prior to 1994, Golden American had arranged with BTV to perform services re-
lated to the development and administration of its products. For the year
1993, fees earned by BTV from Golden American for these services aggregated
$2,701 thousand. The agreement was terminated as of January 1, 1994.
 
  In addition, prior to 1994, BTV provided to Golden American certain of its
personnel to perform management, administrative and clerical services and the
use of certain of its facilities. BTV charged Golden American for such ex-
penses and all other general and administrative costs, first on the basis of
direct charges when identifiable, and second allocated based on the estimated
amount of time spent by BTV's employees on behalf of Golden American. For the
year 1993, BTV allocated to Golden American $1,503 thousand. The agreement was
terminated on January 1, 1994.
 
  Golden American maintains cash on deposit at Bankers Trust.

tions prior to ownership by Mutual Benefit, can be used to offset future tax-
able income of Golden American only through the year 2005, subject to annual
limitations. Approximately $800 thousand, $4,100 thousand, $10,100 thousand
and $5,200 thousand are available through the years 2007, 2008, 2009, and

                     GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1996
                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Separate Account B (the "Account") was established on June 14, 1988, by
Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American"), under
Minnesota insurance law to support the operations of variable annuity
contracts ("Contracts").  Effective September 30, 1992, Golden American
and Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), an affiliate of Golden American,
became wholly-owned subsidiaries of BT Variable, Inc. ("BTV"), an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company.  Effective
December 30, 1993, Golden American was redomesticated from the State of
Minnesota to the State of Delaware.  Effective August 13, 1996,
Equitable of Iowa Companies acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of BTV and changed its name to EIC Variable, Inc.  These
transactions had no effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Golden American is primarily engaged in the issuance of variable
insurance products and is licensed as a life insurance company in the
District of Columbia and all states except New York.

Operations of the Account commenced on January 25, 1989.  The Account is
registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Golden
American provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the
contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions
within the Account or to the Golden American Guaranteed Interest
Division, the Golden American Fixed Interest Division and the Fixed
Separate Account, which are not part of the Account, as directed by the
Contractowners.  The assets of the Account are owned by Golden American.
The portion of the Account's assets applicable to Contracts will not be
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Golden
American may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the
promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of Golden American.
The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and
distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Golden American.

The Account has, under GoldenSelect Contracts, eighteen investment
divisions:  the Liquid Asset, the Limited Maturity Bond, the Natural
Resources, the All-Growth, the Real Estate, the Fully Managed, the
Multiple Allocation, the Capital Appreciation, the Rising Dividends, the
Emerging Markets, the Market Manager, the Value Equity (commenced
operations January, 1995), the Strategic Equity (commenced operations
October, 1995), the Small Cap (commenced operations January, 1996), the
Managed Global, the OTC (commenced operations September, 1996) and the
Growth & Income (commenced operations September, 1996) Divisions
("Divisions").  The Managed Global Division was formerly the Managed
Global Account of Golden American's Separate Account D from October 12,
1992 until September 3, 1996.  The assets in each Division are invested
in shares of a designated series ("Series", which may also be referred
to as "Portfolio") of mutual funds of The GCG Trust or the Equi-Select
Series Trust (the "Trusts").  Effective January 1997, the Natural
Resources Series was renamed to Hard Assets.  The Account also includes 
The Fund For Life Division, which is not included in the accompanying 
financial statements, and which ceased to accept new Contracts effective 
December 31, 1994.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION (Continued)

The Market Manager Division was open for investment for only a brief
period during 1994 and 1995.  This Division is now closed and
contractowners are not allowed to direct their investments into this
Division.  Contractowners with investments in the Market Manager
Division were allowed to elect to update their contracts to DVA Plus
contracts.

The net assets maintained in the Account provide the basis for the
periodic determination of the amount of benefits under the Contracts.
The net assets may not be less than the amount required under state law
to provide for death benefits (without regard to the minimum death
benefit guarantee) and other Contract benefits.  Additional assets are
held in Golden American's general account to cover the contingency that
the guaranteed minimum death benefit might exceed the death benefit
which would have been payable in the absence of such guarantee.  Golden
American has entered into reinsurance agreements with unaffiliated
reinsurers to cover substantially all the insurance risk under the
Contracts.  Golden American remains liable to the extent that the 
reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 1996 financial statement presentation.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Account:

Use of Estimates:  The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Investments:  Investments are made in shares of a Series or Portfolio of
the Trusts and are valued at the net asset value per share of the
respective Series or Portfolio of the Trusts.  Investment transactions
in each Series or Portfolio of the Trusts are recorded on the trade
date.  Distributions of net investment income and capital gains of each
Series or Portfolio of the Trusts are recognized on the ex-distribution
date.  Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the
Series or Portfolio of the Trusts are determined on the specific
identification basis.

Federal Income Taxes:  Operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of Golden American which is taxed as a
life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code.  Earnings and
realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the Contractowners
are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of
Golden American.

NOTE 3 - CHARGES AND FEES
Contracts currently being sold include the DVA Series 100 and the DVA
Plus.  The DVA Plus has three different death benefit options referred
to as Standard, Annual Ratchet and 7% Solution.  Golden American
discontinued external sales of DVA 80 and DVA 100 contracts in May 1991
and December 1995, respectively.  DVA 100 contracts are still available
to Golden American employees and agents.  Under the terms of the

NOTE 3 - CHARGES AND FEES (Continued)
Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover
Golden American's expenses in connection with the issuance and
administration of the Contracts.  Following is a summary of these
charges:

Mortality and Expense Risk and Other Charges

  Mortality and Expense Risk Charges:  Golden American assumes
  mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the
  Account and, in  accordance with  the terms  of the Contracts,
  deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Account. Daily 
  charges are deducted at annual rates of .80%, .90%, 1.25%, 
  1.10%, 1.25% and 1.40% of the assets attributable to the DVA 80, 
  DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA Plus-Standard, DVA Plus-Annual 
  Ratchet and DVA Plus-7% Solution, respectively, to cover these 
  risks.

  Asset Based Administrative Charges:  A  daily  charge  at  an
  annual  rate  of .10%  is  deducted from assets attributable to
  DVA 100 and DVA Series 100 Contracts.  A daily charge at an annual
  rate of .15% is deducted from the assets attributable to DVA Plus
  Contracts.

Annual Administrative Charges:  An administrative charge of $40 per
Contract year is deducted from  the accumulation value of Deferred
Annuity Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses.  The 
charge is incurred on the Contract anniversary date and deducted at the
end of the Contract anniversary period.  This charge has been waived for
certain offerings of the Contract.

Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Charges:  For certain Contracts, a
minimum death benefit guarantee charge of up to $1.20 per $1,000 of
guaranteed death benefit per Contract year is deducted from the
accumulation value of Deferred Annuity Contracts on each Contract
anniversary date.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges:  Under DVA Plus Contracts issued
subsequent to September 1995, a contingent deferred sales charge
("Surrender Charge") is imposed as a percentage of each premium payment
if the Contract is surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken
during the seven year period from the date a premium payment is
received.  The Surrender Charge is imposed at a rate of 7% during the
first two complete years after purchase declining to 6%, 5%, 4%, 3% and
1% after the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth years, respectively.

Other Contract Charges:  Under DVA 80, DVA 100 and DVA Series 100
contracts, a charge is deducted from the accumulation value for
contracts taking more than one conventional partial withdrawal during a
contract year.  For DVA 80 and DVA 100 contracts, annual distribution
fees are deducted from contract accumulation values.

Deferred Sales Load:  Under contracts offered prior to October 1995, a
sales load of up to 7 1/2% was applicable to each premium payment for
sales-related expenses as specified in the Contracts.  For DVA Series
100, the sales load is deducted in equal annual installments over the
period the Contract is in force, not to exceed 10 years.  For DVA 80 and
DVA 100 Contracts, although the sales load is chargeable to each premium
when it is received by Golden American, the amount of such charge is
initially advanced by Golden American to Contractowners and included in
NOTE 3 - CHARGES AND FEES (Continued)
Deferred Sales Load (continued): the accumulation value and then 
deducted in equal installments on each Contract anniversary date over a 
period of six years.  Upon surrender of the Contract, the unamortized 
deferred sales load is deducted from the accumulation value by Golden 
American.  In addition, when partial withdrawal limits are exceeded, a 
portion of the unamortized deferred sales load is deducted.

Premium Taxes:  For certain contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where
applicable, from the accumulation value of each Contract.  The amount
and timing of the deduction depend on the annuitant's state of residence
and currently ranges up to 3.5% of premiums.

Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts are currently
waived by Golden American.  Golden American reserves the right to
discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes
in the law.

The net assets retained in the Account by Golden American in the
accompanying financial statements represent the unamortized deferred
sales load and premium taxes advanced by Golden American, noted above.

Net assets retained in the Account by Golden American are as follows:

NOTE 5 - SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM UNIT TRANSACTIONS
Contractowners transactions shown in the following table reflect gross
inflows ("Purchases") and outflows ("Sales") in units for each Division.
The activity includes contractowners electing to update a DVA contract
to a DVA Plus contract beginning in October 1995.  Updates to DVA Plus
contracts result in both a sale (surrender of the old contract) and a
purchase (acquisition of the new contract). All of the purchase
transactions for the Market Manager Division resulted from such updates.

Contractowner transactions in units were as follows:

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise noted in
Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Financial Statements.
Operating results for the periods August 14, 1996 through September 30, 1996,
July 1, 1996 through August 13, 1996, and January 1, 1996 through August 13, 
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
periods reported at December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Golden American
Life Insurance Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995.

On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable") acquired all of
the outstanding capital stock of BT Variable, Inc. (Golden American Life
Insurance Company's parent) from Whitewood Properties Corporation
("Whitewood") pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
May 3, 1996 between Equitable and Whitewood (the "Purchase Agreement").
Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

For financial statement purposes, the change in control of Golden American
Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") through the acquisition to BT
Variable, Inc. ("BT Variable") was accounted for as a purchase acquisition
effective August 14, 1996.  The effects of the acquisition have resulted in a
new basis of accounting reflecting estimated fair values for assets and
liabilities at that date.  As a result, Golden American's financial
statements for periods subsequent to August 13, 1996, are presented on the
Post-Acquisition new basis of accounting, while the financial statements for
August 13, 1996 and prior periods are presented on the Pre-Acquisition
historical cost basis of accounting.

For purposes of the condensed statements of cash flows, the company considers
all demand deposits and interest bearing accounts not related to the
investment function to be cash equivalents.  All interest-bearing accounts
classified as cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or
less.

Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 financial statement presentation.

NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the fourth quarter of 1995, the service agreement between Directed
Services, Inc. ("DSI") and Golden American was amended to provide for a
management fee from DSI to Golden American for certain managerial and
supervisory services provided by Golden American.  This fee, calculated as a
percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts was $560,000
in the third quarter of 1996 and $1,670,000 in the first nine months of 1996.

NOTE 4 -- SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY

On September 23, 1996, EIC Variable, Inc. (formally known as BT Variable, Inc.) 
contributed $50,000,000 of Preferred Stock to the company's additional paid-in 
capital.

NOTE 5 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In a transaction that closed on September 30, 1992, Bankers Trust Company
("Bankers Trust") acquired from Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company in
Rehabilitation ("Mutual Benefit"), in accordance with the terms of an
Exchange Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden
American and DSI and certain related assets for consideration with an
aggregate value of $13,200,000 and contributed them to BT Variable.  The
transaction involved settlement of pre-existing claims of Bankers Trust
against Mutual Benefit.  The ultimate value of these claims has not yet been
determined by the Superior Court of New Jersey and, prior to August 13, 1996,
was contingently supported by a $5,000,000 note payable from Golden American
and a $6,000,000 letter of credit from Bankers Trust.  Bankers Trust had
estimated that the contingent liability due from Golden American amounted to
$439,000 at August 13, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  At August 13, 1996 the
balance of the escrow account established to fund the contingent liability
was $4,293,000 ($4,150,000 at December 31, 1995).

On August 13, 1996, Bankers Trust made a cash payment to Golden American in
an amount equal to the balance of the escrow account less the $439,000
contingent liability discussed above.  In exchange, Golden American
irrevocably assigned to Bankers Trust all of Golden American's rights to
receive any amounts to be disbursed from the escrow account in accordance
with the terms of the Exchange Agreement.  Bankers Trust also irrevocably
agreed to make all payments becoming due under the Golden American note and
to indemnify Golden American for any liability arising from the note.

In the ordinary course of business, the company is engaged in litigation,
none of which management believes is material.

NOTE 6 -- ACQUISITION

On August 13, 1996, Equitable acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of BT Variable from Whitewood, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust,
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement dated as of May 3, 1996
between Equitable and Whitewood.  As noted above, BT Variable, in turn, owned
all the outstanding capital stock of Golden American and all of the
outstanding capital stock of DSI.  In exchange for the outstanding capital
stock of BT Variable, Equitable paid the sum of $93,000,000 in cash to
Whitewood in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.  Equitable
also paid the sum of $51,000,000 in cash to Bankers Trust to retire certain
debt owed by BT Variable to Bankers Trust pursuant to a revolving credit
arrangement.  On August 14, 1996, BT Variable, Inc. was formally renamed EIC
Variable, Inc.

The purchase price was allocated to the three companies purchased - BT
Variable, DSI and Golden American.  Goodwill was established for the excess
cost over net assets acquired plus $965,000 of estimated acquisition costs and
pushed down to Golden American.  The allocation of the purchase price is
preliminary with respect to the final settlement of taxes with Bankers Trust
and estimated acquisition costs and, as a result, goodwill may change.  The
allocation of the purchase price to Golden American was approximately
$139,872,000.  The amount of goodwill relating to the acquisition was
$39,207,000 at August 13, 1996, and is being amortized over 25 years on a 
straight line basis.

The following unaudited pro forma information is presented as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995.  The information is combined to
reflect the purchase accounting in the pre-acquisition periods of January 1,
1996 through August 13, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. This information is intended for informational purposes only and may
not be indicative of the company's future results of operations.

</TABLE>

The primary pro forma effects are revised amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs, present value of in force acquired, unearned revenue,
goodwill and the elimination of deferred tax benefits.



A portion of the acquisition cost was allocated to the right to receive
future cash flows from the insurance contracts existing with Golden American
at the date of acquisition.  This allocated cost represents the present value
of in force acquired ("PVIF") which reflects the estimated fair value of
those purchased policies.  The expected future cash flows used to determine
the fair value are based on actuarially determined projected net cash flows

Interest is imputed on the unamortized balance of PVIF at rates of 7.70% to
7.80%.  PVIF is charged to expense and adjusted for the unrealized gains
(losses) on available for sale securities.  Based on current conditions and
assumptions as to the effect of future events on acquired policies in force,
the expected approximate amortization for the fourth quarter of 1996 and the
next five years, relating to the balance of the PVIF as of September 30,
1996, is as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze the company's condensed
results of operations.  This analysis should be read in conjunction with the
condensed financial statements and related notes which appear elsewhere in
this report.

On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable") acquired all of
the outstanding capital stock of BT Variable, Inc. ("BT Variable") from
Whitewood Properties Corp. ("Whitewood"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Bankers Trust, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as
of May 3, 1996 between Equitable and Whitewood (the "Purchase Agreement"). BT
Variable owned all the outstanding capital stock of Golden American Life
Insurance Company ("Golden American") and all of the outstanding capital
stock of Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI").  In exchange for the outstanding
capital stock of BT Variable, Equitable paid the sum of $93,000,000 in cash
to Whitewood in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Equitable also paid the sum of $51,000,000 in cash to Bankers Trust to retire
certain debt owed by BT Variable to Bankers Trust pursuant to a revolving
credit arrangement.  On August 14, 1996, BT Variable, Inc. was formally
renamed EIC Variable, Inc. ("EIC Variable").

For financial statement purposes, the change in control of Golden American
through the acquisition to BT Variable was accounted for as a purchase
acquisition effective August 14, 1996.  The effects of the acquisition have
resulted in a new basis of accounting reflecting estimated fair values for
assets and liabilities at that date.  As a result, Golden American's
financial statements for periods subsequent to August 13, 1996, are presented
on the Post-Acquisition new basis of accounting, while the financial
statements for August 13, 1996 and prior periods are presented on the Pre-
Acquisition historical cost basis of accounting.

The purchase price was allocated to the three companies purchased - BT
Variable, DSI, and Golden American.  Goodwill relating to the acquisition was
established for the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the
net assets acquired plus $965,000 of estimated acquisition costs and pushed
down to Golden American.  The purchase price is preliminary with respect to
the final settlement of taxes with Bankers Trust and estimated acquisition
costs and as a result, goodwill may change.  The allocation of the purchase
price to Golden American was approximately $139,872,000.  The amount of
goodwill relating to the acquisition was $39,207,000 at August 13, 1996, and 
is being amortized over 25 years on a straight line basis.

The analysis following combines the post-acquisition and pre-acquisition
activity for 1996 in order to compare the results to 1995.  Such a comparison
does not recognize the impact of the purchase accounting and goodwill
amortization except for the period after August 13, 1996.

Total revenues increased $2,307,000, or 35.3%, in the third quarter and
$6,010,000 or 35.9%, in the first nine months of 1996.  Annuity and life
product fees and policy charges increased $249,000, or 5.1%, in the third
quarter and $734,000, or 5.3%, in the first nine months of 1996, in
conjunction with the growth in the company's policyholder liabilities.

In the fourth quarter of 1995, the service agreement between DSI and Golden
American was amended to provide for a management fee from DSI to Golden
American for certain managerial and supervisory services provided by Golden
American.  This fee, calculated as a percentage of average assets in the
variable separate accounts, was $560,000 for the third quarter of 1996 and
$1,670,000 for the first nine months of 1996.

Net investment income increased $2,180,000, or 254.5%, in the third quarter
and $4,668,000, or 236.0%, in the first nine months of 1996 due to the
increase in invested assets.  The company had realized losses on the sale of
investments of $2,000 in the third quarter and $420,000 in the first nine
months of 1996, compared to gains of $83,000 and $71,000 in the same periods
of 1995.  Realized losses in the first nine months of 1996 were the result of
voluntary sales.

Interest credited to account balances increased $2,454,000 or 557.5% in the
third quarter and $5,137,000 or 610.4% in the first nine months of 1996 as a
result of increases in policy account values.

General expenses decreased $301,000 or 8.0% in the third quarter and
increased $881,000 or 8.8% in the first nine months of 1996.  The increase in
the first nine months of 1996 was primarily a result of the increase in
policies in force.  Commissions increased $2,846,000 or 144.6% in the third
quarter and $13,323,000 or 249.3% in the first nine months of 1996.  Insurance
taxes increased $746,000 or 530.6% in the third quarter and $733,000 or
112.2% in the first nine months of 1996.  Deferral of policy acquisition
costs increased $3,312,000 or 138.6% in the third quarter and $14,824,000 or
208.8% in the first nine months of 1996.  The increase in the above expenses
is the result of the growth in sales.

The company's deferred policy acquisition costs ("DPAC"), previous balance of
present value of in force acquired ("PVIF") and unearned revenue reserve, as
of the purchase date, were eliminated and an asset representing the PVIF was
established for all policies in force at the acquisition date.  PVIF is
amortized into income over the expected gross profits of the in force
acquired in a manner similar to DPAC amortization.  Any expenses which vary
with the sales of the company's products subsequent to the acquisition date
are deferred and amortized. The amortization of PVIF and DPAC increased
$1,230,000 or 94.5% in the third quarter and $1,154,000 or 34.7% in the first
nine months of 1996.  This increase is the result of an increase in balances
for DPAC and PVIF.  The elimination of the unearned revenue reserve, related
to in force acquired at the acquisition date, will result in lower annuity
and universal life product fees and policy charges.

Income
- ------

Net income on a combined basis for the third quarter of 1996 was $964,000, a
decrease of $101,000 or 9.5% from the third quarter of 1995. Net income on a
combined basis for the first nine months of 1996 was $3,472,000, an increase
of $1,296,000 or 59.6% from the first nine months of 1995.

                     APPENDIX:  DESCRIPTION OF BOND RATINGS

Excerpts from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's) description of its bond
ratings:

     Aaa: Judged to be the best quality; they carry the smallest degree of
     investment risk.

     Aa:  Judged to be of high quality by all standards; together with the Aaa
     group, they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds.

     A:   Possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered
     as "upper medium grade obligations."

     Baa: Considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly
     protected nor poorly secured; interest payments and principal security
     appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
     lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
     time.

     Ba:  Judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered
     as well assured.

     B:   Generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment.

     Caa: Are of poor standing; such issues may be in default or there may be
     present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

     Ca:  Speculative in a high degree; often in default.

     C:   Lowest rate class of bonds; regarded as having extremely poor
     prospects.

Moody's also applies numerical indicators 1, 2 and 3 to rating categories.  The
modifier 1 indicates that the security is in the higher end of its rating
category; 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and 3 indicates a ranking toward the
lower end of the category.

Excerpts from Standard & Poor's Rating Group ("Standard & Poor's") description
of its bond ratings:

     AAA: Highest grade obligations; capacity to pay interest and repay
     principal is extremely strong.

     AA:  Also qualify as high grade obligations; a very strong capacity to pay
     interest and repay principal and differs from AAA issues only in small
     degree.

     A:   Regarded as upper medium grade; they have a strong capacity to pay
     interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to
     the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions
     than debt in higher rated categories.

     BBB: Regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay
     principal; whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,
     adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to
     lead to a weakened capacity than in higher rated categories -- this group
     is the lowest which qualifies for commercial bank investment.

     BB, B,
     CCC,
     CC:  Predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and
     repay principal in accordance with terms of the obligation:  BB indicates
     the lowest degree of speculation and CC the highest.

Standard & Poor's applies indicators "+," no character, and "-" to its rating
categories.  The indicators show relative standing within the major rating
categories.

primary purpose for the formation of First Golden is to offer variable products
in the state of New York.

The following persons control or are under common control with the Depositor:

EIC VARIABLE, INC. ("EICV") - This corporation is a general business 
corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York.  The primary
purpose of EICV is to serve in an advisory, managerial and consultative 
capacity to the Depositor and to engage generally in the business of providing,
promoting and establishing systems, methods and controls for managerial 
efficiency and operation for such company, as well as others.  EIC Variable,
Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa Companies.
         
         DIRECTED SERVICES, INC. ("DSI") - This corporation is a general 
business corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, and is
wholly owned by EICV.  The primary purpose of DSI is to act as a broker-dealer
in securities.  It acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of 
variable insurance products including variable annuities as required by the 
SEC.  The contracts are issued by the Depositor.  DSI also has the power to 
carry on a general financial, securities, distribution, advisory or investment
advisory business; to act as a general agent or broker for insurance companies
and to render advisory, managerial, research and consulting services for 
maintaining and improving managerial efficiency and operation.  DSI is also
registered with the SEC as an investment adviser.

As  of August 15, 1996, the subsidiaries of Equitable of Iowa Companies are as 
follows:
                 Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa
                 USG Annuity & Life Company

                 Equitable Investment Services, Inc.
                 Locust Street Securities
                 EIC Variable, Inc.
                    Golden American Life Insurance Company
                         First Golden American Life Insurance Company of
                               New York
                         Directed Services, Inc.


Item 27:  Number of Contract Owners

22,965 as of December 31, 1996

ITEM 28: INDEMNIFICATION

Golden American shall indemnify (including therein the prepayment of expenses)
any person who is or was a director, officer or employee, or who is or was
serving at the request of Golden American as a director, officer or employee of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for
expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him with respect to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceedings against him by
reason of the fact that he is or was such a director, officer or employee to the
extent and in the manner permitted by law.

Golden American may also, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify any other
person who is or was serving Golden American in any capacity.  The Board of
Directors shall have the power and authority to determine who may be indemnified
under this paragraph and to what extent (not to exceed the extent provided in
the above paragraph) any such person may be indemnified.

Golden American may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person
or persons to be indemnified under the provision in the above paragraphs,
against any such liability to the extent permitted by law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise, the Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification by the
Depositor is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933,
and therefore may be unenforceable.  In the event that a claim of such
indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the Depositor
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the
Depositor by such director, officer or controlling person and the SEC is still
of the same opinion, the Depositor or Registrant 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 of whether such indemnification
by the Depositor is against public policy as expressed by the Securities Act of
1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 29: PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

(a) At present, Directed Services, Inc., the Registrant's Distributor, also
serves as principal underwriter for all contracts issued by Golden American.
DSI is the principal underwriter for Separate Account A, Separate Account B
and Alger Separate Account A of Golden American.

(b) The following information is furnished with respect to the principal 
officers and directors of Directed Services, Inc., the Registrant's
