A Fixed Interest Division option is available through the
group and individual deferred variable annuity contracts
offered by Golden American Life Insurance Company. The
Fixed Interest Division is part of the Golden American

and neither the Fixed Interest Division nor the General
Account are registered under the Investment Company Act of

This Profile is a summary of some of the more important points that
you should know and consider before purchasing the Contract. The
Contract is more fully described in the full prospectus which
accompanies this Profile. Please read the prospectus carefully.
[end inset within shaded block]
[end shaded block]
1.THE ANNUITY CONTRACT
The Contract offered in this prospectus is a deferred combination
variable and fixed annuity contract between you and Golden American
Life Insurance Company. The Contract provides a means for you to
invest on a tax-deferred basis in (i) one or more of 25 mutual fund
investment portfolios through our Separate Account B and/or (ii) in
a fixed account of Golden American with guaranteed interest periods.
The 25 mutual fund portfolios are listed on page [3] below. We
currently offer guaranteed interest periods of 6 months, 1, 3, 5, 7
and 10 years in the fixed account. We set the interest rates in the
fixed account (which will never be less than 3%) periodically.
We may credit a different interest rate for each interest period.
The interest you earn in the fixed account as well as your principal
is guaranteed by Golden American as long as you do not take your
money out before the maturity date for the applicable interest
period. If you withdraw your money from the fixed account more
than 30 days before the applicable maturity date, we will apply a
market value adjustment. A market value adjustment could increase
or decrease your contract value and/or the amount you take out.
Generally, The investment portfolios are designed to offer a
better return than the fixed account. However, this is NOT
guaranteed. You may not make any money, and you can even lose
the money you invest.
The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two
phases: the accumulation phase and the income phase. The
accumulation phase is the period between the contract date and the
date on which you start receiving the annuity payments under your
Contract. The amounts you accumulate during the accumulation phase
will determine the amount of annuity payments you will receive. The
income phase begins on the annuity start date, which is the date you
start receiving regular annuity payments from your Contract.
You determine (1) the amount and frequency of premium payments, (2)
the investments, (3) transfers between investments, (4) the type of
annuity to be paid after the accumulation phase, (5) the beneficiary
who will receive the death benefits, and (6) the amount and frequency
of withdrawals.
2.YOUR ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)
Annuity payments are the periodic payments you will begin receiving
on the annuity start date. You may choose one of the following
annuity payment options:
ES II PROFILE

PAGE [9] OF THIS PROFILE
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
[Table with Shaded Heading]
Annuity Options
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Option 1 Income for a Payments are made for a specified |
| fixed period number of years to you |
| or your beneficiary. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Option 2 Income for Payments are made for the rest of |
| life with a your life or longer for a specified |
| period certain period such as 10 or 20 years or |
| until the total amount used to buy |
| this option has been repaid. This |
| option comes with an added guarantee|
| that payments will continue to your |
| beneficiary for the remainder of |
| period if you should die during the |
| period. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Option 3 Joint life income Payments are made for your life |
| and the life of another person |
| (usually your spouse). |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Option 4 Annuity plan Any other annuitization plan that we|
| choose to offer on the annuity |
| start date. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Annuity payments under Options 1, 2 and 3 are fixed. Annuity payments
under Option 4 may be fixed or variable. If variable and subject to the
Investment Company Act of 1940, it will comply with requirements of such
Act. Once you elect an annuity option and begin to receive payments, it
cannot be changed.
3.PURCHASE (BEGINNING OF THE ACCUMULATION PHASE)
You may purchase the Contract with an initial payment of $5,000 or
more ($1,500 for a qualified Contract) up to and including age 85.
You may make additional payments of $100 or more ($250 for a
qualified Contract) at any time before you turn 85 during the
accumulation phase. Under certain circumstances, we may waive the
minimum initial and additional premium payment requirement. Any
initial or additional premium payment that would cause the contract
value of all annuities that you maintain with us to exceed $1,000,000
requires our prior approval.
Who may purchase this Contract? The Contract may be purchased by
individuals as part of a personal retirement plan (a "non-qualified
Contract"), or as a Contract that qualifies for special tax treatment
when purchased as either an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) or in
connection with a qualified retirement plan (each a "qualified
Contract").
The Contract is designed for people seeking long-term tax-deferred
accumulation of assets, generally for retirement or other long-term
purposes. The tax-deferred feature is more attractive to people in
high federal and state tax brackets. You should not buy this
Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or if you
cannot risk getting back less money than you put in.
4.THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
You can direct your money into (1) the fixed account with guaranteed
interest periods of 6 months, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years, and/or (2)
into any one or more of the following 25 mutual fund investment
portfolios through our Separate Account B. The investment portfolios
are described in the prospectuses for the GCG Trust, PIMCO Variable
Insurance Trust and Warburg Pincus Trust. Keep in mind that while
an investment in the fixed account earns a fixed interest rate, an
investment in any investment portfolio, depending on market conditions,
may cause you to make or lose money. The investment portfolios
available under your Contract are:

5.EXPENSES
The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and
there are charges related to each. For the insurance features, the
Company deducts a mortality and expense risk charge, an asset-based
administrative charge and an annual contract administrative charge of
$30. We deduct the mortality and expense risk charge and the asset-based
administrative charges daily directly from your contract value in the
investment portfolios. The mortality and expense risk charge and the
asset-based administrative charge, on an annual basis, are as follows:
Mortality & Expense Risk Charge 1.25%
Asset-Based Administrative Charge 1.15%
-----
Total 1.40%
Each investment portfolio has charges for investment management fees
and other expenses. These charges, which vary by investment
portfolio, currently range from 0.59% to 1.83% annually (see
following table) of the portfolio's average daily net asset balance.
If you withdraw money from your Contract, or if you begin receiving
annuity payments, we may deduct a premium tax of 0%-3.5% to pay to
your state.
We deduct a surrender charge if you surrender your Contract or
withdraw an amount exceeding the free withdrawal amount. The free
withdrawal amount is the total of (i) your cumulative earnings (which
is your contract value less premium payments received and prior
withdrawals), and (ii) 10% of premium payments not previously
withdrawn received within 8 years prior to the date of the
withdrawal. The following table shows the schedule of the surrender
charge that will apply. The surrender charge is a percent of each
premium payment.
COMPLETE YEARS ELAPSED 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8+
SINCE PREMIUM PAYMENT | | | | | | | |
SURRENDER CHARGE 8% | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% | 2% | 1% | 0%
The following table is designed to help you understand the Contract
charges. The "Total Annual Insurance Charges" column includes the
mortality and expense risk charge, the asset-based administrative
charge, and reflects the annual contract administrative charge as
0.05% (based on an average contract value of $55,000). The "Total
Annual Investment Portfolio Charges" column reflects the portfolio
charges for each portfolio and are based on actual expenses as of
December 31, 1998, except for (i) portfolios that commenced operations
during 1998 where the charges have been estimated, and (ii) newly
formed portfolios where the charges have been estimated. The column
"Total Annual Charges" reflects the sum of the previous two columns.
The columns under the heading "Examples" show you how much you would
pay under the Contract for a 1-year period and for a 10-year period.
As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the examples
assume that you invested $1,000 in a Contract that earns 5% annually
and that you withdraw your money at the end of Year 1 or at the end
of Year 10. For Years 1 and 10, the examples show the total annual
charges assessed during that time. For these examples, the premium
tax is assumed to be 0%.

detailed information, see "Fees and Expenses" in the prospectus for the
Contract.
6.TAXES
Under a qualified Contract, your premiums are generally pre-tax
contributions and accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. Premiums and
earnings are generally taxed as income when you make a withdrawal or
begin receiving annuity payments, presumably when you are in a lower
tax bracket.
Under a non-qualified Contract, premiums are paid with after-tax
dollars, and any earnings will accumulate tax-deferred. You will be
taxed on these earnings, but not on premiums, when you withdraw them
from the Contract.
For owners of most qualified Contracts, when you reach age 70 1/2
(or, in some cases, retire), you will be required by federal tax laws
to begin receiving payments from your annuity or risk paying a
penalty tax. In those cases, we can calculate and pay you the
minimum required distribution amounts at your request.
If you are younger than 591/2 when you take money out, in most cases,
you will be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the taxable earnings
withdrawn.
7.WITHDRAWALS
You can withdraw your money at any time during the accumulation
phase. You may elect in advance to take systematic withdrawals which
are described on page 7. Withdrawals above the free withdrawal
amount may be subject to a surrender charge. We will apply a market
value adjustment if you withdraw your money from
ES II PROFILE
4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
the fixed account
more than 30 days before the applicable maturity date. Income taxes
and a penalty tax may apply to amounts withdrawn.
8.PERFORMANCE
The value of your Contract will fluctuate depending on the investment
performance of the portfolio(s) you choose. The following chart
shows average annual total return for each portfolio that was in
operation for the entire year of 1998. These numbers reflect the
deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge, the asset-based
administrative charge and the annual contract fee, but do not reflect
deductions for any surrender charges, if any. If surrender charges
were reflected, they would have the effect of reducing performance.
Please keep in mind that past performance is not a guarantee of
future results.

9.DEATH BENEFIT
The death benefit is payable when the first of the following persons
dies: the contract owner, joint owner, or annuitant (if a contract
owner is not an individual). Assuming you are the contract owner, if
you die during the accumulation phase, your beneficiary will receive
a death benefit unless the beneficiary is your surviving spouse and
elects to continue the Contract. The death benefit value is
calculated at the close of the business day on which we receive
written notice and due proof of death, as well as required claim
forms, at our Customer Service Center. If your beneficiary
elects to delay receipt of the death benefit until a date after the
time of your death, the amount of the benefit payable in the future
may be affected. If you die after the annuity start date and you are
the annuitant, your beneficiary will receive the death benefit you
chose under the annuity option then in effect.
ES II PROFILE
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
If you or the annuitant (if a contract owner is not an individual)
die before the annuity start date, we determine the death benefit as
follows.
If you are AGE 67 OR YOUNGER at the time of purchase, the death
benefit is the greatest of:
1) the contract value;
2) the total premium payments made under the Contract after
subtracting any withdrawals;
3) the cash surrender value; or
4) the highest contract value (plus subsequent premiums less
subsequent withdrawals) determined on every contract
anniversary on or before your death beginning with the 8th
anniversary and ending on the last anniversary prior to you
attaining age 76.
If you are BETWEEN AGES 68 AND 75 at the time of purchase, the death
benefit is the greatest of:
1) the contract value;
2) the total premium payments made under the Contract after
subtracting any withdrawals;
3) the cash surrender value; or
4) the contract value (plus subsequent premiums less subsequent
withdrawals) determined on the 8th contract anniversary but on
or before your death.
If you are AGE 76 OR OLDER at the time of purchase, the death benefit
is the greater of:
1) the contract value; or
2) the cash surrender value.
Note: In all cases described above, the amount of the death benefit
could be reduced by premium taxes owed and withdrawals not
previously deducted.
10.OTHER INFORMATION
FREE LOOK. If you cancel the Contract within 10 days after you
receive it, you will receive a refund of the adjusted contract value.
We determine your contract value at the close of business on the
day we receive your written refund request. For purposes of the
refund during the free look period, (i) we adjust your contract
value for any market value adjustment (if you have invested in
the fixed account), and (ii) then we include a refund of any
charges deducted from your contract value. Because of the market
risks associated with investing in the portfolios and the potential
positive or negative effect of the market value adjustment, the
contract value returned may be greater or less than the premium
payment you paid. Some states require us to return to you the amount
of the paid premium (rather than the contract value) in which case
you will not be subject to investment risk during the free look
period. Also, in some states, you may be entitled to a longer free
look period.
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT. You
can make transfers among your investment portfolios and your
investment in the fixed account as frequently as you wish without any
current tax implications. The minimum amount for a transfer is $100.
There is currently no charge for transfers, and we do not limit the
number of transfers allowed. The Company may, in the future, charge
a $25 fee for any transfer after the twelfth transfer in a contract
year or limit the number of transfers allowed. Keep in mind that if
you transfer or otherwise withdraw your money from the fixed account
more than 30 days before the applicable maturity date, we will apply
a market value adjustment. A market value adjustment could increase
or decrease your contract value and/or the amount you transfer or
withdraw.
NO PROBATE. In most cases, when you die, the person you choose as
your beneficiary will receive the death benefit without going through
probate. See "Federal Tax Consideration-Taxation of Death Benefit
Proceeds" in the prospectus for the Contract.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES. This Contract has other features you may be
interested in. These include:
Dollar Cost Averaging. This is a program that allows you to
invest a fixed amount of money in the investment portfolios each
month, which may give you a lower average cost per unit over
time than a single one-time purchase. Dollar cost averaging
requires regular investments regardless of fluctuating price
levels, and does not guarantee profits or prevent losses in a
declining market. This option is currently available only if
you have $1,200 or more in the Limited Maturity Bond or the
Liquid Asset investment portfolios or in the fixed account with
either a 6-month or 1-year guaranteed interest period.
Transfers from the fixed account under this program will not be
subject to a market value adjustment.
Systematic Withdrawals. During the accumulation phase, you
can arrange to have money sent to you at regular intervals
throughout the year. Within limits these withdrawals will not
result in any surrender charge. Withdrawals from your money in
the fixed account under this program are not subject to a market
value adjustment. Of course, any applicable income and penalty
taxes will apply on amounts withdrawn.
Automatic Rebalancing. If your contract value is $10,000 or
more, you may elect to have the Company automatically readjust
the money between your investment portfolios periodically to
keep the blend you select. Investments in the fixed account are
not eligible for automatic rebalancing.

This prospectus describes GoldenSelect ES II, a group and individual
deferred variable annuity contract (the "Contract") offered by Golden
American Life Insurance Company (the "Company," "we" or "our"). The
Contract is available in connection with certain retirement plans
that qualify for special federal income tax treatment ("qualified
Contracts") as well as those that do not qualify for such treatment
("non-qualified Contracts").
The Contract provides a means for you to invest your premium payments
in one or more of 21 mutual fund investment portfolios. You may also
allocate premium payments to our Fixed Account with guaranteed

The above mutual fund investment portfolios are purchased and held by
corresponding divisions of our Separate Account B. We refer to the
divisions as "subaccounts" and the money you place in the Fixed
Account's guaranteed interest periods as "Fixed Interest Allocations"
in this prospectus.
We will credit your Fixed Interest Allocation(s) with a fixed rate of
interest. We set the interest rates periodically. We will not set
the interest rate to be less than a minimum annual rate of 3%. You
may choose guaranteed interest periods of 6 months, and 1, 3, 5, 7
and 10 years. The interest earned on your money as well as your
principal is guaranteed as long as you hold them until the maturity
date. If you take your money out from a Fixed Interest Allocation
more than 30 days before the applicable maturity date, we will apply
a market value adjustment ("Market Value Adjustment"). A Market
Value Adjustment could increase or decrease your contract value
and/or the amount you take out. You bear the risk that you may
receive less than your principal if we take a Market Value
Adjustment. For Contracts sold in some states, not all Fixed
Interest Allocations or subaccounts are available. You have a right
to return a Contract within 10 days after you receive it for a
refund of the adjusted contract value (which may be more or less than the
premium payments you paid), or if required by your state, the
original amount of your premium payment. Longer free look periods
apply in some states and in certain situations.
This prospectus provides information that you should know before
investing and should be kept for future reference. A Statement of
Additional Information, dated May 1, 1999, has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. It is available without charge
upon request. To obtain a copy of this document, write to our

(1)Fees decline as the total assets of one or more portfolios increase.
See the prospectus for the GCG Trust for more information.
(2)Other expenses generally consist of independent trustees fees and
certain expenses associated with investing in international
markets. Other expenses are based on actual expenses for the
year ended December 31, 1998, except for portfolios that
commenced operations in 1998 where the charges have been
estimated.
(3)Total expenses are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year

portfolio as shown. Without this reimbursement, and based on
current estimates, total expenses would be 0.98% for the Research

EXAMPLES:
The following two examples are designed to show you the expenses you
would pay on a $1,000 investment that earns 5% annually. The examples
reflect the deduction of a mortality and expense risk charge, an asset-based
administrative charge, and the annual contract administrative charge as an
annual charge of 0.05% of assets (based on an average contract value of
$55,000). Note that surrender charges may apply if you choose to annuitize
your Contract within the first 5 contract years, and under certain
circumstances, within the first 8 contract years. Thus, in the event you
annuitize your Contract under circumstances which require a surrender
charge, you should refer to Example 1 below which assumes applicable
surrender charges.
Example 1
If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time
period, you would pay the following expenses for each $1,000
invested:

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCUMULATION UNIT
We use accumulation units to calculate the value of a Contract. Each
subaccount of Separate Account B has its own accumulation unit value.
The accumulation units are valued each business day that the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading. Their values may increase or
decrease from day to day according to a Net Investment Factor, which
is primarily based on the investment performance of the applicable
investment portfolio. Shares in the investment portfolios are valued
at their net asset value.
THE NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor is an index number which reflects certain charges
under the Contract and the investment performance of the subaccount.
The Net Investment Factor is calculated for each subaccount as follows:
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(1)We take the net asset value of the subaccount at the end of
each business day.
(2)We add to (1) the amount of any dividend or capital gains
distribution declared for the subaccount and reinvested in
such subaccount. We subtract from that amount a charge for
our taxes, if any.
(3)We divide (2) by the net asset value of the subaccount at the
end of the preceding business day.
(4)We then subtract the applicable daily mortality and expense
risk charge and the daily asset-based administrative charge
from the subaccount.
Calculations for the subaccounts are made on a per share basis.
CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Tables containing (i) the accumulation unit value history of each
subaccount of Golden American Separate Account B offered in this
prospectus and (ii) the total investment value history of each such
subaccount are presented in Appendix A - Condensed Financial
Information.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited financial statements of Separatet Account B for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and the audited financial statements of Separate Accoun
t B for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 are included in the Statement
of Additional Information. The audited consolidated financial statements of
Golden American for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 are included in this prospectus.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time, we may advertise or include in reports to contract
owners performance information for the subaccounts of Separate
Account B, including the average annual total return performance,
yields and other nonstandard measures of performance. Such
performance data will be computed, or accompanied by performance data
computed, in accordance with standards defined by the SEC.
Except for the Liquid Asset subaccount, quotations of yield for the
subaccounts will be based on all investment income per unit (contract
value divided by the accumulation unit) earned during a given 30-day
period, less expenses accrued during such period. Information on
standard total average annual return performance will include average
annual rates of total return for 1, 5 and 10 year periods, or lesser
periods depending on how long Separate Account B has been investing
in the portfolio. We may show other total returns for periods
less than one year. Total return figures will be based on the actual
historic performance of the subaccounts of Separate Account B,
assuming an investment at the beginning of the period when the separate
account first invested in the portfolios, withdrawal of the investment
at the end of the period, adjusted to reflect the the deduction of all
applicable portfolio and current contract charges. We may also show
rates of total return on amounts invested at the beginning of the period
with no withdrawal at the end of the period. Total return figures which
assume no withdrawals at the end of the period will reflect all
recurring charges, but will not reflect the surrender charge.
Quotations of average annual return for the Managed Global subaccount
take into account the period before September 3, 1996, during which
it was maintained as a subaccount of Golden American Separate Account
D. In addition, we may present historic performance data for the
investment portfolios since their inception reduced by
some or all of the fees and charges under the Contract. Such
adjusted historic performance includes data that precedes the
inception dates of the subaccounts of Separate Account B. This data
is designed to show the performance that would have resulted if the
Contract had been in existence before the separate account began
investing in the portfolios.
Current yield for the Liquid Asset subaccount is based on income
received by a hypothetical investment over a given 7-day period, less
expenses accrued, and then "annualized" (i.e., assuming that the 7-
day yield would be received for 52 weeks). We calculate "effective
yield" for the Liquid Asset subaccount 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 thus be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the
compounding effect of earnings. We calculate quotations of yield for
the remaining subaccounts on all investment income per accumulation
unit earned during a given 30-day period, after subtracting fees and
expenses accrued during the period, assuming no surrender.
6
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
We may compare performance information for a subaccount to: (i) the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average,
Donoghue Money Market Institutional Averages, or any other applicable
market indices, (ii) other 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), or any other rating service, and (iii)
the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to determine the real
rate of return of an investment in the Contract. Our reports and
promotional literature may also contain other information including
the ranking of any subaccount based on rankings of variable annuity
separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services or by similar rating services.
Performance information reflects only the performance of a
hypothetical contract and should be considered in light of other
factors, including the investment objective of the investment
portfolio and market conditions. Please keep in mind that past
performance is not a guarantee of future results.

GOLDEN AMERICAN SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Golden American Separate Account B ("Account B") was established as a
separate account of the Company on July 14, 1988. It is registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment
trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Account B is a
separate investment account used for our variable annuity contracts.
We own all the assets in Account B but such assets are kept separate
from our other accounts.
Account B is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests
exclusively in shares of one investment portfolio of the GCG Trust,
PIMCO Trust or Warburg Pincus Trust. Each investment portfolio has
its own distinct investment objectives and policies. Income, gains
and losses, realized or unrealized, of a portfolio are credited to or
charged against the corresponding subaccount of Account B without
regard to any other income, gains or losses of the Company. Assets
equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to
each are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
business of the Company. They may, however, be subject to
liabilities arising from subaccounts whose assets we attribute to
other variable annuity contracts supported by Account B. If the
assets in Account B exceed the required reserves and other
liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our general account. We
are obligated to pay all benefits and make all payments provided
under the Contracts.
We currently offer other variable annuity contracts that invest in
Account B but are not discussed in this prospectus. Account B may
also invest in other investment portfolios which are not available
under your Contract.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FIXED INTEREST ALLOCATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate premium payments and transfer your contract value to
the guaranteed interest periods of our Fixed Account at any time
during the accumulation period. Every time you allocate money to the
Fixed Account, we set up a Fixed Interest Allocation for the
guaranteed interest period you select. We currently offer guaranteed
interest periods of 6 months, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years, although we
may not offer all these periods in the future. You may select one or
more guaranteed interest periods at any one time. We will credit
your Fixed Interest Allocation with a guaranteed interest rate for
the interest period you select, so long as you do not withdraw money
from that Fixed Interest Allocation before the end of the guaranteed
interest period. Each guaranteed interest period ends on its
maturity date which is the last day of the month in which the
interest period is scheduled to expire.
If you surrender, withdraw, transfer or annuitize your investment in
a Fixed Interest Allocation more than 30 days before the end of the
guaranteed interest period, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment
to the transaction. A Market Value Adjustment could increase or
decrease the amount you surrender, withdraw, transfer or annuitize,
depending on current interest rates at the time of the transaction.
YOU BEAR THE RISK THAT YOU MAY RECEIVE LESS THAN YOUR PRINCIPAL IF WE
APPLY A MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.
Assets supporting amounts allocated to the Fixed Account are
available to fund the claims of all classes of our customer, contract
owners and other creditors. Interests under your Contract relating
to the Fixed Account are registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
but the Fixed Account is not registered under the 1940 Act.
SELECTING A GUARANTEED INTEREST PERIOD
You may select one or more Fixed Interest Allocations with specified
guaranteed interest periods. A guaranteed interest period is the
period that a rate of interest is guaranteed to be credited to your
Fixed Interest Allocation. We may at any time decrease or increase
the number of guaranteed interest periods offered. In addition, we
may offer DCA Fixed Interest Allocations, which are 6-month and 1-
year Fixed Interest Allocations available exclusively in connection
with our dollar cost averaging program. For more information on DCA
Fixed Interest Allocations, see "Transfers Among Your Investments -
Dollar Cost Averaging."
Your contract value in the Fixed Account is the sum of your Fixed
Interest Allocations and the interest credited as adjusted for any
withdrawals (including any Market Value Adjustment applied to such
withdrawal), transfers or other charges we may impose. Your Fixed
Interest Allocation will be credited with the guaranteed interest
rate in effect for the guaranteed interest period you selected when
we receive and accept your premium or reallocation of contract value.
We will credit interest daily at a rate which yields the quoted
guaranteed interest rate.
GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES
Each Fixed Interest Allocation will have an interest rate that is
guaranteed as long as you do not take your money out until its
maturity date. We do not have a specific formula for establishing
the guaranteed interest rates for the
11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
different guaranteed interest periods. We determine
guaranteed interest rates at our sole discretion. To find out the
current guaranteed interest rate for a guaranteed interest period
you are interested in, please contact our Customer Service Center
or your registered representative. The determination may be
influenced by the interest rates on fixed income investments
in which we may invest with the amounts we receive under the
Contracts. We will invest these amounts primarily in investment-
grade fixed income securities (i.e., rated by Standard & Poor's
rating system to be suitable for prudent investors) although we are
not obligated to invest according to any particular strategy, except
as may be required by applicable law. You will have no direct or
indirect interest in these investments. We will also consider other
factors in determining the guaranteed interest rates, including
regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions and administrative
expenses borne by us, general economic trends and competitive
factors. We cannot predict the level of future interest rates but no
Fixed Interest Allocation will ever have a guaranteed interest rate
of less than 3% per year.
We may from time to time at our discretion offer interest rate
specials for new premiums that are higher than the current base
interest rate. Renewal rates for such rate specials will be based on
the base interest rate and not on the special rates initially
declared.
TRANSFERS FROM A FIXED INTEREST ALLOCATION
You may transfer your contract value in a Fixed Interest Allocation
to one or more new Fixed Interest Allocations with new guaranteed
interest periods, or to any of the subaccounts of Account B. Unless
you tell us the Fixed Interest Allocations from which such transfers
will be made, we will transfer amounts from your Fixed Interest
Allocations starting with the guaranteed interest period nearest its
maturity date, until we have honored your transfer request.
The minimum amount that you can transfer to or from any Fixed
Interest Allocation is $100. If a transfer request would reduce the
contract value remaining in a Fixed Interest Allocation to less than
$100, we will treat such transfer request as a request to transfer
the entire contract value in such Fixed Interest Allocation.
Transfers from a Fixed Interest Allocation may be subject to a Market
Value Adjustment. If you have a special Fixed Interest Allocation
that was offered exclusively with our dollar cost averaging program,
cancelling dollar cost averaging will cause a transfer of the entire
contract value in such Fixed Interest Allocation to the Liquid Asset
subaccount, and such a transfer is subject to a Market Value Adjustment.
On the maturity date of a guaranteed interest period, you may
transfer amounts from the applicable Fixed Interest Allocation to the
subaccounts and/or to new Fixed Interest Allocations with guaranteed
interest periods of any length we are offering at that time. You may
not, however, transfer amounts to any Fixed Interest Allocation with
a guaranteed interest period that extends beyond the annuity start
date.
At least 30 calendar days before a maturity date of any of your Fixed
Interest Allocations, or earlier if required by state law, we will
send you a notice of the guaranteed interest periods that are
available. You must notify us which subaccounts or new guaranteed
interest periods you have selected before the maturity date of your
Fixed Interest Allocations. If we do not receive timely instructions
from you, we will transfer the contract value in the maturing Fixed
Interest Allocation to a new Fixed Interest Allocation with a
guaranteed interest period that is the same as the expiring
guaranteed interest period. If such guaranteed interest period is
not available or would go beyond the annuity start date, we will
transfer your contract value in the maturing Fixed Interest
Allocation to the next shortest guaranteed interest period which does
not go beyond the annuity start date. If no such guaranteed interest
period is available, we will transfer the contract value to a
subaccount specially designated by the Company for such purpose.
Currently we use the Liquid Asset subaccount for such purpose.
WITHDRAWALS FROM A FIXED INTEREST ALLOCATION
During the accumulation phase, you may withdraw a portion of your
contract value in any Fixed Interest Allocation. You may make
systematic withdrawals of only the interest earned during the prior
month, quarter or year, depending on the frequency chosen, from a
Fixed Interest Allocation under our systematic withdrawal option.
Systematic withdrawals from a Fixed Interest Allocation are not
permitted if such Fixed Interest Allocation is currently
participating in the dollar cost averaging program. A withdrawal
from a Fixed Interest Allocation may be subject to a Market Value
Adjustment and, in some cases, a surrender charge. Be aware that
withdrawals may have federal income tax consequences, including a 10%
penalty tax.
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
If you tell us the Fixed Interest Allocation from which your
withdrawal will be made, we will assess the withdrawal against that
Fixed Interest Allocation. If you do not, we will assess your
withdrawal against the subaccounts in which you are invested unless
the withdrawal exceeds the contract value in the subaccounts. If
there is no contract value in those subaccounts, we will deduct your
withdrawal from your Fixed Interest Allocations starting with the
guaranteed interest periods nearest their maturity dates until we
have honored your request.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
A Market Value Adjustment may decrease, increase or have no effect
on your contract value.
We will apply a Market Value Adjustment (i) whenever you withdraw or
transfer money from a Fixed Interest Allocation (unless made within
30 days before the maturity date of the applicable guaranteed
interest period, or under the systematic withdrawal or dollar cost
averaging program) and (ii) if on the annuity start date a guaranteed
interest period for any Fixed Interest Allocation does not end on or
within 30 days of the annuity start date.
We determine the Market Value Adjustment by multiplying the amount
you withdraw, transfer or apply to an income plan by the following
factor:
( 1+I )N/365
(---------) -1
(1+J+.0050)
Where,
o "I" is the Index Rate for the affected Fixed Interest Allocation
as of the first day of its guaranteed interest period;
o "J" is equal to the following:
(1) If calculated for a Fixed Interest Allocation of 1 year or
more, then "J" is the Index Rate for a new Fixed Interest
Allocation with a guaranteed interest period equal to the
time remaining (rounded up to the next full year except in
Pennsylvania) in the guaranteed interest period;
(2) If calculated for a Fixed Interest Allocation of 6 months,
then "J" is the lesser of the Index Rate for a new Fixed
Interest Allocation with (i) a 6 month guaranteed interest
period, or (ii) a 1 year guaranteed interest period at the
time of calculation; and
o "N" is the remaining number of days in the guaranteed interest
period at the time of calculation.
The Index Rate is the average of the Ask Yields for U.S. Treasury
Strips as quoted by a national quoting service for a period equal to
the applicable guaranteed interest period. The average currently is
based on the period starting from the 22nd day of the calendar month
two months prior to the month of the Index Rate determination and
ending the 21st day of the calendar month immediately before the
month of determination. We currently calculate the Index Rate once
each calendar month but have the right to calculate it more
frequently. The Index Rate will always be based on a period of at
least 28 days. If the Ask Yields are no longer available, we will
determine the Index Rate by using a suitable and approved, if
required, replacement method.
A Market Value Adjustment may be positive, negative or result in no
change. In general, if interest rates are rising, you bear the risk
that any Market Value Adjustment will likely be negative and reduce
your contract value. On the other hand, if interest rates are
falling, it is more likely that you will receive a positive Market
Value Adjustment that increases your contract value. In the event of
a full surrender, transfer or annuitization from a Fixed Interest
Allocation, we will add or subtract any Market Value Adjustment from
the amount surrendered, transferred or annuitized. In the event of a
partial withdrawal, transfer or annuitization, we will add or
subtract any Market Value Adjustment from the total amount withdrawn,
transferred or annuitized in order to provide the amount requested.
If a negative Market Value Adjustment exceeds your contract value in
the Fixed Interest Allocation, we
13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
will consider your request to be a
full surrender, transfer or annuitization of the Fixed Interest
Allocation.
Several examples which illustrate how the Market Value Adjustment
works are included in Appendix B.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ANNUITY CONTRACT
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Contract described in this prospectus is a deferred combination
variable and fixed annuity contract. The Contract provides a means
for you to invest in one or more of the available mutual fund
portfolios of the GCG Trust, PIMCO Trust and Warburg Pincus Trust
through Account B. It also provides a means for you to invest in a
Fixed Interest Allocation through the Fixed Account.
CONTRACT DATE AND CONTRACT YEAR
The date the Contract became effective is the contract date. Each 12-
month period following the contract date is a contract year.
ANNUITY START DATE
The annuity start date is the date you start receiving annuity
payments under your Contract. The Contract, like all deferred
variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase
and the income phase. The accumulation phase is the period between
the contract date and the annuity start date. The income phase
begins when you start receiving regular annuity payments from your
Contract on the annuity start date.
CONTRACT OWNER
You are the contract owner. You are also the annuitant unless
another annuitant is named in the application. You have the rights
and options described in the Contract. One or more persons may own
the Contract. If there are multiple owners named, the age of the
oldest owner will determine the applicable death benefit if such
death benefit is available for multiple owners.
The death benefit becomes payable when you die. In the case of a
sole contract owner who dies before the income phase begins, we will
pay the beneficiary the death benefit then due. The sole contract
owner's estate will be the beneficiary if no beneficiary has been
designated or the beneficiary has predeceased the contract owner. In
the case of a joint owner of the Contract dying before the income
phase begins, we will designate the surviving contract owner as the
beneficiary. This will override any previous beneficiary
designation.
If the contract owner is a trust and a beneficial owner of the trust
has been designated, the beneficial owner will be treated as the
contract owner for determining the death benefit. If a beneficial
owner is changed or added after the contract date, this will be
treated as a change of contract owner for determining the death
benefit.
JOINT OWNER. For non-qualified Contracts only, joint owners may
be named in a written request before the Contract is in effect.
Joint owners may independently exercise transfers and other
transactions allowed under the Contract. All other rights of
ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal
shares of any benefits accruing or payments made to them. All rights
of a joint owner end at death of that owner if the other joint owner
survives. The entire interest of the deceased joint owner in the
Contract will pass to the surviving joint owner. The age of the
older owner will determine the applicable death benefit if Enhanced
Death Benefits are available for multiple owners.
ANNUITANT
The annuitant is the person designated by you to be the measuring
life in determining annuity payments. The annuitant's age determines
when the income phase must begin and the amount of the annuity
payments to be paid. You are the annuitant unless you choose to name
another person. The annuitant may not be changed after the Contract
is in effect.
14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The contract owner will receive the annuity benefits of the Contract
if the annuitant is living on the annuity start date. If the
annuitant dies before the annuity start date, and a contingent
annuitant has been named, the contingent annuitant becomes the
annuitant (unless the contract owner is not an individual, in which
case the death benefit becomes payable).
If there is no contingent annuitant when the annuitant dies before
the annuity start date, the contract owner will become the annuitant.
The contract owner may designate a new annuitant within 60 days of
the death of the annuitant.
If there is no contingent annuitant when the annuitant dies before
the annuity start date and the contract owner is not an individual,
we will pay the designated beneficiary the death benefit then due.
If a beneficiary has not been designated, or if there is no
designated beneficiary living, the contract owner will be the
beneficiary. If the annuitant was the sole contract owner and there
is no beneficiary designation, the annuitant's estate will be the
beneficiary.
Regardless of whether a death benefit is payable, if the annuitant
dies and any contract owner is not an individual, distribution rules
under federal tax law will apply. You should consult your tax
advisor for more information if you are not an individual.
BENEFICIARY
The beneficiary is named by you in a written request. The
beneficiary is the person who receives any death benefit proceeds and
who becomes the successor contract owner if the contract owner (or
the annuitant if the contract owner is other than an individual) dies
before the annuity start date. We pay death benefits to the primary
beneficiary (unless there are joint owners, in which case death
proceeds are payable to the surviving owner(s)).
If the beneficiary dies before the annuitant or the contract 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 contract owner's estate.
One or more persons may be a 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 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 may have to act together to exercise some of
the rights and options under the Contract.
CHANGE OF CONTRACT OWNER OR BENEFICIARY. During the annuitant's
lifetime, you may transfer ownership of a non-qualified Contract. A
change in ownership may affect the amount of the death benefit and
the guaranteed death benefit. You may also change the beneficiary.
All requests for changes must be in writing and submitted to our
Customer Service Center in good order. The change will be effective
as of the day you sign the request. The change will not affect any
payment made or action taken by us before recording the change.
PURCHASE AND AVAILABILITY OF THE CONTRACT
We will issue a Contract only if both the annuitant and the contract
owner are not older than age 85.
The initial premium payment must be $5,000 or more ($1,500 for
qualified Contracts). You may make additional payments of $100 or
more ($250 for qualified Contracts) at any time after the free look
period before you turn age 85. Under certain circumstances, we may
waive the minimum premium payment requirement. We may also change
the minimum initial or additional premium requirements for certain
group or sponsored arrangements. Any initial or additional premium
payment that would cause the contract value of all annuities that you
maintain with us to exceed $1,000,000 requires our prior approval.
15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
CREDITING OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS
We will process your initial premium within 2 business days after
receipt, if the application and all information necessary for
processing the Contract are complete. Subsequent premium payments
will be processed within 1 business day if all information necessary
is received. In certain states we also accept initial and
additional premium payments by wire order. Wire transmittals must be
accompanied by sufficient electronically transmitted data. We may
retain your initial premium payment for up to 5 business days while
attempting to complete an incomplete application. If the application
cannot be completed within this period, we will inform you of the
reasons for the delay. We will also return the premium payment
immediately unless you direct us to hold the premium payment until
the application is completed. For initial premium payments, the payment
will be credited at the accumulation unit value next determined after
receipt of your premium payment and the completed application. Once the
completed application is received, we will allocate the payment to the
subaccount and/or Fixed Interest Allocation specified by you within 2
business days. We will make inquiry to discover any missing information
related to subsequent payments. For any subsequent premium payments, the
payment will be credited at the accumulation unit value next determined
after receipt of your premium payment and instructions.
Once we allocate your premium payment to the subaccounts selected by
you, we convert the premium payment into accumulation units. We
divide the amount of the premium payment allocated to a particular
subaccount by the value of an accumulation unit for the subaccount to
determine the number of accumulation units of the subaccount to be
held in Account B with respect to your Contract. The net investment
results of each subaccount vary with its investment performance.
If your premium payment was transmitted by wire order from your
broker-dealer, we will follow one of the following two procedures
after we receive and accept the wire order and investment
instructions. The procedure we follow depends on state availability
and the procedures of your broker-dealer.
(1) If either your state or broker-dealer do not permit us to
issue a Contract without an application, we reserve the right
to rescind the Contract if we do not receive and accept a
properly completed application or enrollment form within 5
days of the premium payment. If we do not receive the
application or form within 5 days of the premium payment, we
will refund the contract value plus any charges we deducted,
and the Contract will be voided. Some states require that we
return the premium paid, in which case we will comply.
(2) If your state and broker-dealer allow us to issue a Contract
without an application, we will issue and mail the Contract to
you, together with an Application Acknowledgement Statement
for your execution. Until our Customer Service Center receives
the executed Application Acknowledgement Statement, neither
you nor the broker-dealer may execute any financial
transactions on your Contract unless they are requested in
writing by you. We may require additional information before
complying with your request (e.g., signature guarantee).
In some states, we may require that an initial premium designated for
a subaccount of Account B or the Fixed Account be allocated to a
subaccount specially designated by the Company (currently, the Liquid
Asset subaccount) during the free look period. After the free look
period, we will convert your contract value (your initial premium
plus any earnings less any expenses) into accumulation units of the
subaccounts you previously selected. The accumulation units will be
allocated based on the accumulation unit value next computed for each
subaccount. Initial premiums designated for Fixed Interest
Allocations will be allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation with the
guaranteed interest period you have chosen; however, in the future we
may allocate the premiums to the specially designated subaccount
during the free look period.
CONTRACT VALUE
We determine your contract value on a daily basis beginning on the
contract date. Your contract value is the sum of (a) the contract
value in the Fixed Interest Allocations, and (b) the contract value
in each subaccount in which you are invested.
CONTRACT VALUE IN FIXED INTEREST ALLOCATIONS. The contract value
in your Fixed Interest Allocation is the sum of premium payments
allocated to the Fixed Interest Allocation under the Contract, plus
contract value transferred to the Fixed Interest Allocation, plus
credited interest, minus any transfers and withdrawals from the Fixed
Interest Allocation (including any Market Value Adjustment applied to
such withdrawal), contract fees, and premium taxes.
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE IN THE SUBACCOUNTS. On the contract date, the
contract value in the subaccount in which you are invested is equal
to the initial premium paid and designated to be allocated to the
subaccount. On the contract date, we allocate your contract value to
each subaccount and/or a Fixed Interest Allocation specified by you,
unless the Contract is issued in a state that requires the return of
premium payments during the free look period, in which case, the
portion of your initial premium not allocated to a Fixed Interest
Allocation may be allocated to a subaccount specially designated by
the Company during the free look period for this purpose (currently,
the Liquid Asset subaccount).
On each business day after the contract date, we calculate the amount
of contract value in each subaccount as follows:
(1) We take the contract value in the subaccount at the end of the
preceding business day.
(2) We multiply (1) by the subaccount's Net Investment Factor
since the preceding business day.
(3) We add (1) and (2).
(4) We add to (3) any additional premium payments, and then add or
subtract any transfers to or from that subaccount.
(5) We subtract from (4) any withdrawals and any related charges,
and then subtract any contract fees and premium taxes.
CASH SURRENDER VALUE
The cash surrender value is the amount you receive when you surrender
the Contract. The cash surrender value will fluctuate daily based on
the investment results of the subaccounts in which you are invested
and interest credited to Fixed Interest Allocations and any Market
Value Adjustment. We do not guarantee any minimum cash surrender
value. On any date during the accumulation phase, we calculate the
cash surrender value as follows: we start with your contract value,
then we adjust for any Market Value Adjustment, then we deduct any
surrender charge, any charge for premium taxes, the annual contract
administrative fee, and any other charges incurred but not yet
deducted.
SURRENDERING TO RECEIVE THE CASH SURRENDER VALUE
You may surrender the Contract at any time while the annuitant is
living and before the annuity start date. A surrender will be
effective on the date your written request and the Contract are
received at our Customer Service Center. We will determine and pay
the cash surrender value at the price next determined after receipt
of all paperwork required in order for us to process your surrender.
Once paid, all benefits under the Contract will be terminated.
For administrative purposes, we will transfer your money
to a specially designated subaccount (currently the Liquid Asset
subaccount) prior to processing the surrender. This transfer will
have no effect on your cash surrender value. You may receive the
cash surrender value in a single sum payment or apply it under one
or more annuity options. We will usually pay the cash surrender
value within 7 days.
Consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences associated
with surrendering your Contract. A surrender made before you reach
age 59 1/2 may result in a 10% tax penalty. See "Federal Tax
Considerations" for more details.
ADDITION, DELETION OR SUBSTITUTION OF SUBACCOUNTS AND OTHER CHANGES
We may make additional subaccounts available to you under the
Contract. These subaccounts will invest in investment portfolios we
find suitable for your Contract.
We may amend the Contract to conform to applicable laws or
governmental regulations. If we feel that investment in any of the
investment portfolios has become inappropriate to the purposes of the
Contract, we may, with approval of the SEC (and any other regulatory
agency, if required) substitute another portfolio for existing and
future investments. If you have elected the dollar cost averaging,
systematic withdrawals, or automatic rebalancing programs or if you
have other outstanding instructions, and we substitute a portfolio
subject to those instructions, we will execute your instructions
using the substituted portfolio.
We also reserve the right to: (i) deregister Account B under the 1940
Act; (ii) operate Account B as a management company under the 1940
Act if it is operating as a unit investment trust; (iii) operate
Account B
17
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act if it is
operating as a managed separate account; (iv) restrict or eliminate
any voting rights as to Account B; and (v) combine Account B with
other accounts.
We will, of course, provide you with written notice before any of
these changes are effected.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account is a segregated asset account which contains the
assets that support a contract owner's Fixed Interest Allocations.
See "The Fixed Interest Allocations" for more information.
OTHER CONTRACTS
We offer other variable annuity contracts that also invest in the
same investment portfolios of the Trusts. These contracts have
different charges that could effect their performance, and may offer
different benefits more suitable to your needs. To obtain more
information about these other contracts, contact our Customer Service
Center or your registered representative.
OTHER IMPORTANT PROVISIONS
See "Withdrawals," "Transfers Among Your Investments," "Death
Benefit," "Charges and Fees," "The Annuity Options" and "Other
Contract Provisions" in this prospectus for information on other
important provisions in your Contract.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any time during the accumulation phase and before the death of the
annuitant, you may withdraw all or part of your money. Keep in mind
that if you request a withdrawal for more than 90% of the cash
surrender value, we will treat it as a request to surrender the
Contract. If any single withdrawal or the sum of withdrawals exceeds
the Free Withdrawal Amount, you will incur a surrender charge. The
Free Withdrawal Amount is the total of (i) your cumulative earnings
(which is your contract value less premium payments received and
prior withdrawals), and (ii) 10% of premium payments not previously
withdrawn received within 8 years prior to the date of the
withdrawal.
You need to submit to us a written request specifying the Fixed
Interest Allocations or subaccounts from which amounts are to be
withdrawn, otherwise the withdrawal will be made on a pro rata basis
from all of the subaccounts in which you are invested. If there is
not enough contract value in the subaccounts, we will deduct the
balance of the withdrawal from your Fixed Interest Allocations
starting with the guaranteed interest periods nearest their maturity
dates until we have honored your request. We will apply a Market
Value Adjustment to any withdrawal from your Fixed Interest
Allocation taken more than 30 days before its maturity date.
Definitive guidance on the proper federal tax treatment of the
Market Value Adjustment has not been issued. You may want to discuss
the potential tax consequences of a Market Value Adjustment with your
tax adviser. We will determine the contract value as of the close
of business on the day we receive your withdrawal request at our
Customer Service Center. The contract value may be more or less
than the premium payments made.
For administrative purposes, we will transfer your money to a
specially designated subaccount (currently, the Liquid Asset
subaccount) prior to processing the withdrawal. This transfer will
not effect the withdrawal amount you receive.
We offer the following three withdrawal options:
REGULAR WITHDRAWALS
After the free look period, you may make regular withdrawals. Each
withdrawal must be a minimum of $100. We will apply a Market Value
Adjustment to any regular withdrawal from a Fixed Interest Allocation
that is taken more than 30 days before its maturity date.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS
You may choose to receive automatic systematic withdrawal payments
(1) from the contract value in the subaccounts in which you are invested,
or (2) from the interest earned in your Fixed Interest Allocations.
Systematic withdrawals may be taken monthly, quarterly or annually. You
decide when you would like systematic payments to start as long as it
starts at least 28 days after your contract date. You also select the
date on which the systematic withdrawals will be made, but this date cannot
be later than the 28th day of the month. If you have elected to receive
systematic withdrawals but have not chosen a date, we will make the
withdrawals on the same calendar day of each month as your contract date.
If your contract date is after the 28th, your systematic withdrawal will
be made on the 28th day of each month.
Each systematic withdrawal amount must be a minimum of $100. The amount
of your systematic withdrawal can either be (1) a fixed dollar amount, or
(2) an amount based on a percentage of the premiums not previously withdrawn
from the subaccounts in which you are invested. Both forms of systematic
withdrawals are subject to the following maximum, which is calculated on
each withdrawal date:
Maximum Percentage
Frequency of Contract Value
Monthly 0.833%
Quarterly 2.50%
Annually 10.00%
If your systematic withdrawal is a fixed dollar amount and the amount to
be withdrawn would exceed the applicable maximum percentage of your contract
value on any withdrawal date, we will automatically reduce the amount
withdrawn so that it equals such percentage. Thus, your fixed dollar
systematic withdrawals will never exceed the maximum percentage. If you
want fixed dollar systematic withdrawals to exceed the maximum percentage
and are willing to incur associated surrender charges, consider the Fixed
Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature which you may add to your regular
systematic withdrawal program.
If your systematic withdrawal is based on a percentage of the premiums not
previously withdrawn from the subaccounts in which you are invested and the
amount to be withdrawn based on that percentage would be less than $100, we
will automatically increase the amount to $100 as long as it does not exceed
the maximum percentage. If the systematic withdrawal would exceed the
maximum percentage, we will send the amount, and then automatically cancel
your systematic withdrawal option.
Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations are limited to
interest earnings during the prior month, quarter, or year, depending on the
frequency you chose. Systematic withdrawals are not subject to a Market
Value Adjustment, unless you have added the Fixed Dollar Systematic
Withdrawal Feature discussed below and the payments exceed interest earnings.
Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations under the Fixed Dollar
Systematic Withdrawal Feature are available only in connection with Section
72(q) or 72(t) distributions. A Fixed Interest Allocation may not
articipate in both the systematic withdrawal option and the dollar cost
averaging program at the same time.
You may change the amount or percentage of your systematic withdrawal once
each contract year or cancel this option at any time by sending satisfactory
notice to our Customer Service Center at least 7 days before the next
scheduled withdrawal date. The systematic withdrawal option may commence
in a contract year where a regular withdrawal has been taken but you may
not change the amount or percentage of your withdrawals in any contract
year during which you have previously taken a regular withdrawal. You may
not elect the systematic withdrawal option if you are taking IRA withdrawals.
FIXED DOLLAR SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL FEATURE. You may add the Fixed
Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature to your regular fixed dollar systematic
withdrawal program. This feature allows you to receive a systematic
withdrawal in a fixed dollar amount regardless of any surrender charges or
Market Value Adjustments. Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest
Allocations under the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature are
available only in connection with Section 72(q) or 72(t) distributions.
You choose the amount of the fixed systematic withdrawals, which may total
up to an annual maximum of 10% of your premium payments not previously
withdrawn as determined on the day we receive your election of this feature.
The maximum limit will not be recalculated when you make additional premium
payments, unless you instruct us to do us. We will assess a surrender
charge on the withdrawal date if the withdrawal exceeds the maximum limit
as calculated on the withdrawal date. We will assess a Market Value
Adjustment on the withdrawal date if the withdrawal from a Fixed Interest
Allocation exceeds your interest earnings on the withdrawal date. We will
apply the surrender charge and any Market Value Adjustment directly to
your contract value (rather than to the systematic withdrawal) so that the
amount of each systematic withdrawal remains fixed.
Flat dollar systematic withdrawals which are intended to satisfy the
requirements of Section 72(q) or 72(t) of the Tax Code may exceed the
maximum. Such withdrawals are subject to surrender charges and Market
Value Adjustment when they exceed the applicable free withdrawal amount.
IRA WITHDRAWALS
If you have a non-Roth IRA Contract and will be at least age 70 1/2
during the current calendar year, you may elect to have distributions
made to you to satisfy requirements imposed by Federal tax law. IRA
withdrawals provide payout of amounts required to be distributed by
the Internal Revenue Service rules governing mandatory distributions
under qualified plans. We will send you a notice before your
distributions commence. You may elect to take IRA withdrawals at
that time, or at a later date. You may not elect IRA
19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
withdrawals and
participate in systematic withdrawals at the same time. If you do
not elect to take IRA withdrawals, and distributions are required by
Federal tax law, distributions adequate to satisfy the requirements
imposed by Federal tax law may be made. Thus, if you are
participating in systematic withdrawals, distributions under that
option must be adequate to satisfy the mandatory distribution rules
imposed by federal tax law.
You may choose to receive IRA withdrawals on a monthly, quarterly or
annual basis. Under this option, you may elect payments to start as
early as 28 days after the contract date. 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, we will make the
withdrawals on the same calendar day of the month as the contract
date.
You may request that we calculate for you 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 withdraw
is $100. When we determine the required IRA 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 IRA
withdrawal amount is greater than the contract value, we will cancel
the Contract and send you the amount of the cash surrender value.
You may change the payment frequency of your IRA withdrawals once
each contract year or cancel this option at any time by sending us
satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center at least 7 days
before the next scheduled withdrawal date.
An IRA withdrawal in excess of the amount allowed under systematic
withdrawals will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISER REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED
WITH TAKING WITHDRAWALS. You are responsible for determining that
withdrawals comply with applicable law. A withdrawal made before the
taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2 may result in a 10% penalty tax. See
"Federal Tax Considerations" for more details.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS AMONG YOUR INVESTMENTS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may transfer your contract value among the subaccounts in which
you are invested and your Fixed Interest Allocations at the end of
the free look period until the annuity start date. We currently do
not charge you for transfers made during a contract year, but reserve
the right to charge $25 for each transfer after the twelfth transfer
in a contract year. We also reserve the right to limit the number of
transfers you may make and may otherwise modify or terminate transfer
privileges if required by our business judgement or in accordance
with applicable law. We will apply a Market Value Adjustment to
transfers from a Fixed Interest Allocation taken more than 30 days
before its maturity date, unless the transfer is made under the
dollar cost averaging program.
Transfers will be based on values at the end of the business day in
which the transfer request is received at our Customer Service
Center.
The minimum amount that you may transfer is $100 or, if less, your
entire contract value held in a subaccount or a Fixed Interest
Allocation.
To make a transfer, you must notify our Customer Service Center and
all other administrative requirements must be met. Any transfer
request received after 4:00 p.m. eastern time or the close of the New
York Stock Exchange will be effected on the next business day.
Account B and the Company will not be liable for following
instructions communicated by telephone or over the internet that we
reasonably believe to be genuine. We require personal identifying
information to process a request for transfer made over the telephone
or over the internet.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
You may elect to participate in our dollar cost averaging program if
you have at least $1,200 of contract value in the (i) Limited
Maturity Bond subaccount or the Liquid Asset subaccount, or (ii) a
Fixed Interest Allocation with either a 6-month or a 1-year
guaranteed interest period. These subaccounts or Fixed Interest
Allocations serve as the source accounts from which we will, on a
monthly basis, automatically transfer a set dollar amount of money to
other subaccounts selected by you. We also may offer DCA Fixed
Interest Allocations, which are 6-month and 1-year Fixed Interest
Allocations available exclusively for use with the dollar cost
averaging program. The DCA Fixed Interest Allocations require a
minimum premium payment of $1,200 directed into a DCA Fixed Interest
Allocation.
The dollar cost averaging program is designed to lessen the impact of
market fluctuation on your investment. Since we transfer the same
dollar amount to other subaccounts each month, more units of a
subaccount are purchased if the value of its unit is low and less
units are purchased if the value of its unit is high. Therefore, a
lower than average value per unit may be achieved over the long term.
However, we cannot guarantee this. When you elect the dollar cost
averaging program, you are continuously investing in securities
regardless of fluctuating price levels. You should consider your
tolerance for investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.
Unless you have a DCA Fixed Interest Allocation, you elect the dollar
amount you want transferred under this program. Each monthly
transfer must be at least $100. If your source account is the
Limited Maturity Bond subaccount, the Liquid Asset subaccount or a 1-
year Fixed Interest Allocation, the maximum amount that can be
transferred each month is your contract value in such source account
divided by 12. If your source account is a 6-month Fixed Interest
Allocation, the maximum amount that can be transferred each month is
your contract value in such source account divided by 6. You may
change the transfer amount once each contract year. If you have a
DCA Fixed Interest Allocation, there is no minimum or maximum
transfer amount; we will transfer all your money allocated to that
source account into the subaccount(s) in equal payments over the
selected 6-month or 1-year period. The last payment will include
earnings accrued over the course of the selected period. If you make
an additional premium into a Fixed Interest Allocation subject to
dollar cost averaging, the amount of your transfers under the dollar
cost averaging program remains the same, unless you instruct us to
increase the transfer amount.
Transfers from a Fixed Interest Allocation or a DCA Fixed Interest
Allocation under the dollar cost averaging program are not subject to
a Market Value Adjustment. However, if you terminate the dollar cost
averaging program for a DCA Fixed Interest Allocation and there is
money remaining in the DCA Fixed Interest Allocation, we will
transfer the remaining money to the Liquid Asset subaccount. Such
transfer will trigger a Market Value Adjustment if the transfer is
made more than 30 days before the maturity date of the DCA Fixed
Interest Allocation.
If you do not specify the subaccounts to which the dollar amount of
the source account is to be transferred, we will transfer the money
to the subaccounts in which you are invested on a proportional basis.
The transfer date is the same day each month as your contract date.
If, on any transfer date, your contract value in a source account is
equal or less than the amount you have elected to have transferred,
the entire amount will be transferred and the program will end. You
may terminate the dollar cost averaging program at any time by
sending satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center at least 7
days before the next transfer date. A Fixed Interest Allocation or
DCA Fixed Interest Allocation may not participate in the dollar cost
averaging program and in systematic withdrawals at the same time.
We may in the future offer additional subaccounts or withdraw any
subaccount or Fixed Interest Allocation to or from the dollar cost
averaging program, stop offering DCA Fixed Interest Allocations or
otherwise modify, suspend or terminate this program. Of course, such
change will not affect any dollar cost averaging programs in
operation at the time.
AUTOMATIC REBALANCING
If you have at least $10,000 of contract value invested in the
subaccounts of Account B, you may elect to have your investments in
the subaccounts automatically rebalanced. We will transfer funds
under your Contract on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual calendar
basis among the subaccounts to maintain the investment blend of your
selected subaccounts. The minimum size of any allocation must be in
full percentage points. Rebalancing does not affect any amounts that
you have allocated to the Fixed Account. The program may be
21
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
used in
conjunction with the systematic withdrawal option only if withdrawals
are taken pro rata. Automatic rebalancing is not available if you
participate in dollar cost averaging. Automatic rebalancing will not
take place during the free look period.
To participate in automatic rebalancing, send satisfactory notice to
our Customer Service Center. We will begin the program on the last
business day of the period in which we receive the notice. You may
cancel the program at any time. The program will automatically
terminate if you choose to reallocate your contract value among the
subaccounts or if you make an additional premium payment or partial
withdrawal on other than a pro rata basis. Additional premium
payments and partial withdrawals effected on a pro rata basis will
not cause the automatic rebalancing program to terminate.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the accumulation phase, a death benefit is payable when either
the annuitant (when a contract owner is not an individual), the
contract owner or the first of joint owners dies. Assuming you are
the contract owner, your beneficiary will receive a death benefit
unless the beneficiary is your surviving spouse and elects to
continue the Contract. The death benefit value is calculated at the
close of the business day on which we receive written notice and due
proof of death, as well as any required paperwork, at our
Customer Service Center. If your beneficiary elects to delay receipt
of the death benefit until a date after the time of death, the amount
of the benefit payable in the future may be affected. The proceeds
may be received in a single sum or applied to any of the annuity
options. If we do not receive a request to apply the death benefit
proceeds to an annuity option, we will make a single sum
distribution. We will generally pay death benefit proceeds within 7
days after our Customer Service Center has received sufficient
information to make the payment.
The death benefit applies on the first person to die of the contract
owner, joint owner, or annuitant (if a contract owner is not an
individual). Assuming you are the contract owner, if you die during
the accumulation phase, your beneficiary will receive a death benefit
unless the beneficiary is the surviving spouse and elects to continue
the Contract.
If you or the annuitant (if a contract owner is not an individual)
die before the annuity start date, we determine the death benefit as
follows.
If you are AGE 67 OR YOUNGER at the time of purchase, the death
benefit is the greatest of:
1) the contract value;
2) the total premium payments made under the Contract after
subtracting any withdrawals;
3) the cash surrender value; or
4) the highest contract value (plus subsequent premiums less
subsequent withdrawals) determined on every contract
anniversary on or before your death beginning with the 8th
anniversary and ending on the last anniversary prior to you
attaining age 76.
If you are BETWEEN AGES 68 AND 75 at the time of purchase, the death
benefit is the greatest of:
1) the contract value;
2) the total premium payments made under the Contract after
subtracting any withdrawals;
3) the cash surrender value; or
4) the contract value (plus subsequent premiums less subsequent
withdrawals) determined on the 8th contract anniversary but on
or before your death.
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
If you are AGE 76 OR OLDER at the time of purchase, the death benefit
is the greater of:
1) the contract value; or
2) the cash surrender value.
In all cases described above, amounts could be reduced by premium
taxes owed and withdrawals not previously deducted.
DEATH BENEFIT DURING THE INCOME PHASE
If any contract owner or the annuitant dies after the annuity start
date, we will pay the beneficiary any certain benefit remaining under
the annuity in effect at the time.
[Shaded Section Header]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARGES AND FEES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
We deduct the charges described below to cover our cost and expenses,
services provided and risks assumed under the Contracts. We incur
certain costs and expenses for distributing and administrating the
Contracts, for paying the benefits payable under the Contracts and
for bearing various risks associated with the Contracts. The amount
of a charge will not always correspond to the actual costs
associated. For example, the surrender charge collected may not
fully cover all of the distribution expenses incurred by us with the
service or benefits provided. In the event there are any profits
from fees and charges deducted under the Contract, we may use such
profits to finance the distribution of contracts.
CHARGE DEDUCTION SUBACCOUNT
You may elect to have all charges against your contract value
deducted directly from a single subaccount designated by the Company.
Currently we use the Liquid Asset subaccount for this purpose. If
you do not elect this option, or if the amount of the charges is
greater than the amount in the designated subaccount, the charges
will be deducted as discussed below. You may cancel this option at
any time by sending satisfactory notice to our Customer Service
Center.
CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM THE CONTRACT VALUE
We deduct the following charges from your contract value:
SURRENDER CHARGE. We will deduct a contingent deferred sales
charge (a "surrender charge") if you surrender your Contract or if
you take a withdrawal in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount during
the 8-year period from the date we receive and accept a premium
payment. The surrender charge is based on a percentage of each
premium payment withdrawn. This charge is intended to cover sales
expenses that we have incurred. We may in the future reduce or waive
the surrender charge in certain situations and will never charge more
than the maximum surrender charges. The percentage of premium
payments deducted at the time of surrender or excess withdrawal
depends on the number of complete years that have elapsed since that
premium payment was made. We determine the surrender charge as a
percentage of each premium payment withdrawn as follows:
COMPLETE YEARS ELAPSED 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8+
SINCE PREMIUM PAYMENT | | | | | | | |
SURRENDER CHARGE 8% | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% | 2% | 1% | 0%
Waiver of Surrender Charge for Extended Medical Care. We will
waive the surrender charge in most states in the following events:
(i) you begin receiving qualified extended medical care on or
after the first contract anniversary for at least 45 days during a 60
day period and your request for the surrender or withdrawal, together
with all required documentation is received at our Customer Service
Center during the term of your care or within 90 days after the last
day of your care; or (ii) you are first diagnosed by a qualifying
medical professional, on or after the first contract anniversary, as
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
having a qualifying terminal illness. We have the right to require
an examination by a physician of our choice. If we require such an
examination, we will pay for it. You are required to send us
satisfactory written proof of illness. See your Contract for more
information. The waiver of surrender charge may not be available in
all states.
FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. The Free Withdrawal Amount is the total
of (i) your cumulative earnings (which is your contract value less
premium payments received and prior withdrawals), and (ii) 10% of
premium payments not previously withdrawn received within 8 years
prior to the date of the withdrawal.
SURRENDER CHARGE FOR EXCESS WITHDRAWALS. We will deduct a
surrender charge for excess withdrawals. We consider a withdrawal to
be an "excess withdrawal" when the amount you withdraw in any
contract year exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount. Where you are
receiving systematic withdrawals, any combination of regular
withdrawals taken and any systematic withdrawals expected to be
received in a contract year will be included in determining the
amount of the excess withdrawal. Such a withdrawal will be
considered a partial surrender of the Contract and we will impose a
surrender charge and any associated premium tax. We will deduct such
charges from the contract value in proportion to the contract value
in each subaccount or Fixed Interest Allocation from which the excess
withdrawal was taken. In instances where the excess withdrawal
equals the entire contract value in such subaccounts or Fixed
Interest Allocations, we will deduct charges proportionately from all
other subaccounts and Fixed Interest Allocations in which you are
invested. ANY WITHDRAWAL FROM A FIXED INTEREST ALLOCATION MORE THAN
30 DAYS BEFORE ITS MATURITY DATE WILL TRIGGER A MARKET VALUE
ADJUSTMENT.
For the purpose of calculating the surrender charge for an excess
withdrawal: a) we treat premiums as being withdrawn on a first-in,
first-out basis; and b) amounts withdrawn which are not considered an
excess withdrawal are not considered a withdrawal of any premium
payments. We have included an example of how this works in Appendix
C. Although we treat premium payments as being withdrawn before
earnings for purpose of calculating the surrender charge for excess
withdrawals, the federal tax law treats earnings as withdrawn first.
PREMIUM TAXES. We may make a charge for state and local premium
taxes depending on your state of residence. The tax can range from
0% to 3.5% of the premium payment. We have the right to change this
amount to conform with changes in the law or if you change your state
of residence.
We deduct the premium tax from your contract value on the annuity
start date. However, some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the
time that initial and additional premiums are paid, regardless of
when the annuity payments begin. In those states we may defer
collection of the premium taxes from your contract value and deduct
it when you surrender the Contract, when you take an excess withdrawals
or on the annuity start date.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE. We deduct an annual administrative charge
on each Contract anniversary, or if you surrender your Contract prior
to a Contract anniversary, at the time we determine the cash
surrender value payable to you. The amount deducted is $30 per
Contract. We deduct the charge proportionately from all subaccounts
in which you are invested. If there is no contract value in those
subaccounts, we will deduct the charge from your Fixed Interest
Allocations starting with the guaranteed interest periods nearest
their maturity dates until the charge has been paid.
TRANSFER CHARGE. We currently do not deduct any charges for
transfers made during a contract year. We have the right, however,
to assess up to $25 for each transfer after the twelfth transfer in
a contract year. If such a charge is assessed, we would deduct the
charge from the subaccounts and the Fixed Interest Allocations from
which each such transfer is made in proportion to the amount being
transferred from each such subaccount and Fixed Interest Allocation
unless you have chosen to have all charges deducted from a single
subaccount. The charge will not apply to any transfers due to the
election of dollar cost averaging, automatic rebalancing and
transfers we make to and from any subaccount specially designated by
the Company for such purpose.
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
CHARGES DEDUCTED FROM THE SUBACCOUNTS
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. The mortality and expense risk
charge is deducted each business day. The mortality and expense risk
charge is equivalent, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the assets you
have in each subaccount. The charge is deducted on each business day
at the rate of .003446% for each day since the previous business day.
ASSET-BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE. The amount of the asset-based
administrative charge, on an annual basis, is equal to 0.15% of the
assets you have in each subaccount. The charge is deducted on each
business day at the rate of .000411% for each day since the previous
business day. This charge is deducted daily from your assets in each
subaccount.
TRUST EXPENSES
There are fees and charges deducted from each investment portfolio of
the Trusts. Please read the respective Trust prospectus for details.
[Shaded Section Header]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ANNUITY OPTIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITIZATION OF YOUR CONTRACT
If the annuitant and contract owner are living on the annuity start
date, we will begin making payments to the contract owner under an
income plan. We will make these payments under the annuity option
chosen. You may change annuity option by making a written request to
us at least 30 days before the annuity start date. The amount of the
payments will be determined by applying your contract value adjusted
for any applicable Market Value Adjustment on the annuity start date
in accordance with the annuity option you chose.
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 start date. If, at the time of the
contract owner's death or the annuitant's death (if the contract
owner is not an individual), no option has been chosen for paying
death benefit proceeds, the beneficiary may choose an annuity option
within 60 days. In all events, payments of death benefit proceeds
must comply with the distribution requirements of applicable federal
tax law.
The minimum monthly annuity income payment that we will make is $20.
We may require that a single sum payment be made if the contract
value is less than $2,000 or if the calculated monthly annuity income
payment is less than $20.
For each annuity option we will issue a separate written agreement
putting the annuity option into effect. Before we pay any annuity
benefits, we require the return of your 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, such as the annuity option chosen, the
applicable payment rate used and the investment performance of the
portfolios and interest credited to the Fixed Interest Allocations.
Our current annuity options provide only for fixed payments. Fixed
annuity payments are regular payments, the amount of which is fixed
and guaranteed by us. Some fixed annuity options provide fixed
payments either for a specified period of time or for the life of the
annuitant. The amount of life income payments will depend on the
form and duration of payments you chose, the age of the annuitant or
beneficiary (and gender, where appropriate) under apllicable law, the total
contract value applied to purchase a Fixed Interest Allocation, and the
applicable payment rate.
Our approval is needed for any option where:
(1) The person named to receive payment is other than the contract
owner or beneficiary;
(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.
25
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
SELECTING THE ANNUITY START DATE
You select the annuity start date on which is the date on which the
annuity payments commence. The annuity start date must be at least
5 years from the contract date but before the month immediately
following the annuitant's 90th birthday, or 10 years from the contract
date, if later. If, on the annuity start date, a surrender charge
remains, the elected annuity option must include a period certain
of at least 5 years.
If you do not select an annuity start date, it will automatically
begin in the month following the annuitant's 90th birthday, or 10
years from the contract date, if later.
If the annuity start 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" and the Statement of Additional Information. For a
Contract purchased in connection with a qualified plan, other than a
Roth IRA, distributions must commence not later than April 1st of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70
1/2 or, in some case, retire. Distributions may be made through
annuitization or withdrawals. You should consult your tax adviser
for tax advice.
FREQUENCY OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
You choose the frequency of the annuity payments. They may be
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. If we do not receive
written notice from you, we will make the payments monthly. There
may be certain restrictions on minimum payments that we will allow.
THE ANNUITY OPTIONS
We offer the 4 annuity options shown below. Payments under Options
1, 2 and 3 are fixed. Payments under Option 4 may be fixed or
variable. For a fixed annuity option, the contract value in the
subaccounts is transferred to the Company's general account.
OPTION 1. INCOME FOR A FIXED PERIOD. Under this option, we make
monthly payments in equal installments for a fixed number of years
based on the contract value on the annuity start date. We guarantee
that each monthly payment will be at least the amount stated in your
Contract. If you prefer, you may request that payments be made in
annual, semi-annual or quarterly installments. We will provide you
with illustrations if you ask for them. If the cash surrender value
or contract value is applied under this option, a 10% penalty tax may
apply to the taxable portion of each income payment until the
contract owner reaches age 59 1/2.
OPTION 2. INCOME FOR LIFE WITH A PERIOD CERTAIN. Payment is made
for the life of the annuitant in equal monthly installments and
guaranteed for at least a period certain such as 10 or 20 years.
Other periods certain may be available to you on request. You may
choose a refund period 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 specified in the Contract corresponding to the person's age on
his or her last birthday before the annuity start date. Amounts for
ages not shown in the Contract are available if you ask for them.
OPTION 3. JOINT LIFE INCOME. This option is available when there
are 2 persons named to determine annuity payments. At least one of
the persons named must be either the contract owner or beneficiary of
the Contract. We guarantee monthly payments will be 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 if you ask
for them.
OPTION 4. ANNUITY PLAN. The contract value can be applied to any
other annuitization plan that we choose to offer on the annuity start
date. Annuity payments under Option 4 may be fixed and variable. If
variable and subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 it will
comply with the requirements of such Act.
PAYMENT WHEN NAMED PERSON DIES
When the person named to receive payment dies, we will pay any
amounts still due as provided in the annuity agreement between you
and Golden American. The amounts we will pay are determined as
follows:
26
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(1) For Option 1, or any remaining guaranteed payments under
Option 2, we will continue payments. 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 never less than 3% for Option 1 and 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 option agreement will state the
amount we will pay, if any.

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
REPORTS TO CONTRACT OWNERS
We will send you a quarterly report within 31 days after the end of
each calendar quarter. The report will show the contract value, cash
surrender value, and the death benefit as of the end of the calendar
quarter. The report will also show the allocation of your contract
value and reflects the amounts deducted from or added to the contract
value since the last report. You have 30 days to notify our Customer
Service Center of any errors or discrepancies contained in the report
or in any confirmation notices. We will also send you copies of any
shareholder reports of the investment portfolios in which Account B
invests, as well as any other reports, notices or documents we are
required by law to furnish to you.
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS
The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any
payment or determination of values on any business day (1) when the
New York Stock Exchange is closed; (2) when trading on the New York
Stock Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists as
determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission so that the sale
of securities held in Account B may not reasonably occur or so that
the Company may not reasonably determine the value of Account B's net
assets; or (4) during any other period when the SEC so permits for
the protection of security holders. We have the right to delay
payment of amounts from a Fixed Interest Allocation for up to 6 months.
IN CASE OF ERRORS IN YOUR APPLICATION
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.
ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT AS COLLATERAL
You may assign a non-qualified Contract as collateral security for a
loan but you should understand that your rights and any beneficiary's
rights may be subject to the terms of the assignment. An assignment
may have federal tax consequences. 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.
CONTRACT CHANGES -- APPLICABLE TAX LAW
We have the right to make changes in the Contract to continue to
qualify the Contract as an annuity under applicable federal tax law.
You will be given advance notice of such changes.
FREE LOOK
You may cancel your Contract within your 10-day free look period. We
deem the free look period to expire 15 days after we mail the
Contract to you. Some states may require a longer free look period.
To cancel, you need to send your Contract to our Customer Service
Center or to the agent from whom you purchased it. We will refund
the contract value. For purposes of the refund during the free look
period, (i) we adjust your contract value
27
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
for any Market Value Adjustment (if you have invested in the
fixed account), and (ii) then we include a refund of any
charges deducted from your contract value.
Because of the market risks associated with investing in the
portfolios and the potential positive or negative effect of the
market value adjustment, the contract value returned may be greater
or less than the premium payment you paid. Some states require us to
return to you the amount of the paid premium (rather than the
contract value) in which case you will not be subject to investment
risk during the free look period. In these states, your premiums
designated for investment in the subaccounts will be allocated during
the free look period to a subaccount specially designated by the
Company for this purpose (currently, the Liquid Asset subaccount).
We may, in our discretion, require that premiums designated for
investment in the subaccounts from all other states as well as
premiums designated for a Fixed Interest Allocation be allocated to
the specially designated subaccount during the free look period.
Your Contract is void as of the day we receive your Contract and
cancellation request. We determine your contract value at the close
of business on the day we receive your written request. If you keep
your Contract after the free look period, we will put your money in
the subaccount(s) chosen by you, based on the accumulation unit value
next computed for each subaccount, and/or in the Fixed Interest
Allocation chosen by you.
GROUP OR SPONSORED ARRANGEMENTS
For certain group or sponsored arrangements, we may reduce any
surrender, administration, and mortality and expense risk charges.
We may also change the minimum initial and additional premium
requirements, or offer an alternative or reduced death benefit.
SELLING THE CONTRACT
Directed Services, Inc. is the 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
Directed Services for acting as principal underwriter under a
distribution agreement which in turn pays the writing agent. The
principal address of Directed Services is 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West
Chester, Pennsylvania 19380.
Directed Services enters into sales agreements with broker-dealers
to sell the Contracts through registered representatives who are
licensed to sell securities and variable insurance products. These
broker-dealers are registered with the SEC and are members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Directed Services
receives a maximum of 7.75% commission, and passes through 100% of
the commission to the broker-dealer whose registered representative
sold the contract.

VOTING RIGHTS
We will vote the shares of a Trust 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 a Trust in our own right, we may
decide to do so.
We determine the number of shares that you have in a subaccount by
dividing the Contract's contract value in that subaccount by the net
asset value of one share of the portfolio in which a subaccount
invests. We count fractional votes. 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 instructions by mail at least 10
days before the meeting. If we do not receive your instructions in
time, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the
instructions received from all contracts in that subaccount. We will
also vote shares we hold in Account B which are not attributable to
contract owners in the same proportion.
STATE REGULATION
We are regulated by the Insurance Department of the State of
Delaware. We are also subject to the insurance laws and regulations
of all jurisdictions where we do business. The variable Contract
offered by this prospectus has been approved where required by those
jurisdictions. We are required to submit annual statements of our
operations, including financial statements, to the Insurance
Departments of the various jurisdictions in which we do business to
determine solvency and compliance with state insurance laws and
regulations.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company, like other insurance companies, may be involved in
lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. In some class action and
other lawsuits involving insurers, substantial damages have been
sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. We
believe that currently there are no pending or threatened lawsuits
that are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse impact on the
Company or Account B.
LEGAL MATTERS
The legal validity of the Contracts was passed on by Myles R.
Tashman, Esquire, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary of Golden American. Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP of
Washington, D.C. has provided advice on certain matters relating to
federal securities laws.
EXPERTS
The audited financial statements of Golden American Life Insurance
Company and Account B appearing in this prospectus or in the
Statement of Additional Information and Registration Statement
have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, as
set forth in their reports thereon appearing in this prospectus or
in the Statement of Additional Information and in the Registration
Statement and are included or incorporated by reference in reliance
upon such reports given upon the authority of such firm as experts

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary provides a general description of the federal
income tax considerations associated with this Contract and does not
purport to be complete or to cover all tax situations. This
discussion is not intended as tax advice. You should consult your
counsel or other competent tax advisers for more complete
information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the
present federal income tax laws. We do not make any representations
as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income
tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the IRS.
TYPES OF CONTRACTS: NON-QUALIFIED OR QUALIFIED
The Contract may be purchased on a non-tax-qualified basis or
purchased on a tax-qualified basis. Qualified Contracts are designed
for use by individuals whose premium payments are comprised solely of
proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans that are
intended to qualify as plans entitled to special income tax treatment
under Sections 401(a), 403(b), 408, or 408A of the Code. The
ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a
Contract, or annuity payments, depends on the type of retirement
plan, on the tax and employment status of the individual concerned,
and on our tax status. In addition, certain requirements must be
satisfied in purchasing a qualified Contract with proceeds from a tax-
qualified plan and receiving distributions from a qualified Contract
in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment. Some
retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements
that are not incorporated into our Contract administration
procedures. Contract owners, participants and beneficiaries are
responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and
other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with
applicable law. Therefore, you should seek competent legal and tax
advice regarding the suitability of a Contract for your particular
situation. The following discussion assumes that qualified Contracts
are purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under
retirement plans that qualify for the intended special federal income
tax treatment.
TAX STATUS OF THE CONTRACTS
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. The Code requires that the
investments of a variable account be "adequately diversified" in
order for nonqualified Contracts to be treated as annuity contracts for
federal income tax purposes. It is intended that Account B, through
the subaccounts, will satisfy these diversification requirements.
In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts have
been considered for federal income tax purposes to be the owners of
the assets of the separate account supporting their contracts due to
their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When
this is the case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on
income and gains attributable to the separate account assets. There
is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Contracts,
such as the flexibility of a contract owner to allocate premium
payments and transfer contract values, have not been explicitly
addressed in published rulings. While we believe that the Contracts
do not give contract owners investment control over Account B assets,
we reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to prevent
a contract owner from being treated as the owner of the Account B
assets supporting the Contract.
REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS. In order to be treated as an annuity
contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires any non-
qualified Contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your
interest in the Contract will be distributed in the event of your
death. The non-qualified Contracts contain provisions that are
intended to comply with these Code requirements, although no
regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. We
intend to review such provisions and modify them if necessary to
assure that they comply with the applicable requirements when such
requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise.
Other rules may apply to Qualified Contracts.
The following discussion assumes that the Contracts will qualify as
annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes.
30
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
TAX TREATMENT OF ANNUITIES
IN GENERAL. We believe that if you are a natural person you will
generally not be taxed on increases in the value of a Contract until
a distribution occurs or until annuity payments begin. (For these
purposes, the agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the
contract value, and, in the case of a qualified Contract, any portion
of an interest in the qualified plan, generally will be treated as a
distribution.)
TAXATION OF NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
NON-NATURAL PERSON. The owner of any annuity contract who is not
a natural person generally must include in income any increase in the
excess of the contract value over the "investment in the contract"
(generally, the premiums or other consideration you paid for the
contract less any nontaxable withdrawals) during the taxable year.
There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective contract
owner that is not a natural person may wish to discuss these with
a tax adviser. The following discussion generally applies to
Contracts owned by natural persons.
WITHDRAWALS. When a withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract
occurs, the amount received will be treated as ordinary income
subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the
contract value (unreduced by the amount of any surrender charge)
immediately before the distribution over the contract owner's
investment in the Contract at that time. The tax treatment of market
value adjustments is uncertain. You should consult a tax adviser if
you are considering taking a withdrawal from your Contract in
circumstances where a market value adjustment would apply.
In the case of a surrender under a non-qualified Contract, the amount
received generally will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the
contract owner's investment in the Contract.
PENALTY TAX ON CERTAIN WITHDRAWALS. In the case of a distribution
from a non-qualified Contract, there may be imposed a federal tax
penalty equal to 10% of the amount treated as income. In general,
however, there is no penalty on distributions:
o made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2;
o made on or after the death of a contract owner;
o attributable to the taxpayer's becoming disabled; or
o made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic
payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer.
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and
special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions
enumerated above. A tax adviser should be consulted with regard to
exceptions from the penalty tax.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS. Although tax consequences may vary depending on
the payment option elected under an annuity contract, a portion of
each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is
taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity
payment is generally determined in a manner that is designed to allow
you to recover your investment in the Contract ratably on a tax-free
basis over the expected stream of annuity payments, as determined
when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the Contract
has been fully recovered, however, the full amount of each annuity
payment is subject to tax as ordinary income.
TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. Amounts may be distributed
from a Contract because of your death or the death of the annuitant.
Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of recipient as
follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the
same manner as a surrender of the Contract, or (ii) if distributed
under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity
payments.
TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENTS, EXCHANGES AND ANNUITY DATES OF A CONTRACT.
A transfer or assignment of ownership of a Contract, the designation
of an annuitant, the selection of certain dates for commencement of
the annuity phase, or the exchange of a Contract may result in
certain tax consequences to you that are
31
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
not discussed herein. A
contract owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment or
exchange, should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.
WITHHOLDING. Annuity distributions are generally subject to
withholding for the recipient's federal income tax liability.
Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld
from distributions.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts
that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same contract owner
during any calendar year are treated as one non-qualified deferred
annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in
such contract owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.
TAXATION OF QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
The Contracts are designed for use with several types of qualified
plans. The tax rules applicable to participants in these qualified
plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and
contributions of the plan itself. Special favorable tax treatment
may be available for certain types of contributions and
distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from:
contributions in excess of specified limits; distributions before age
59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions); distributions that do not
conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules; and
in other specified circumstances. Therefore, no attempt is made to
provide more than general information about the use of the Contracts
with the various types of qualified retirement plans. Contract
owners, annuitants, and beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights
of any person to any benefits under these qualified retirement plans
may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves,
regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract, but we shall
not be bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent
such terms contradict the Contract, unless the Company consents.
DISTRIBUTIONS. Annuity payments are generally taxed in the same
manner as under a non-qualified Contract. When a withdrawal from a
qualified Contract occurs, a pro rata portion of the amount received
is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the contract owner's
investment in the Contract (generally, the premiums or other
consideration paid for the Contract) to the participant's total
accrued benefit balance under the retirement plan. For qualified
Contracts, the investment in the Contract can be zero. For Roth
IRAs, distributions are generally not taxed, except as described
below.
For qualified plans under Section 401(a) and 403(b), the Code
requires that distributions generally must commence no later than the
later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the contract owner (or plan participant) (i) reaches age 70 1/2
or (ii) retires, and must be made in a specified form or manner. If
the plan participant is a "5 percent owner" (as defined in the Code),
distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the contract owner
(or plan participant) reaches age 70 1/2. For IRAs described in
Section 408, distributions generally must commence no later than the
later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the contract owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70 1/2.
Roth IRAs under Section 408A do not require distributions at any time
before the contract owner's death.
WITHHOLDING. Distributions from certain qualified plans generally
are subject to withholding for the contract owner's federal income
tax liability. The withholding rates vary according to the type of
distribution and the contract owner's tax status. The contract owner
may be provided the opportunity to elect not to have tax withheld
from distributions. "Eligible rollover distributions" from section
401(a) plans and section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities are subject
to a mandatory federal income tax withholding of 20%. An eligible
rollover distribution is the taxable portion of any distribution from
such a plan, except certain distributions that are required by the
Code or distributions in a specified annuity form. The 20%
withholding does not apply, however, if the contract owner chooses a
"direct rollover" from the plan to another tax-qualified plan or IRA.
Brief descriptions of the various types of qualified retirement plans
in connection with a Contract follow. We will endorse the Contract
as necessary to conform it to the requirements of such plan.
32
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS UPON CONTRACT OWNER'S DEATH
We will not allow any payment of benefits provided under a
non-qualified Contract which do not satisfy the requirements of
Section 72(s) of the Code.
If any owner of a non-qualified contract dies before the annuity
start date, the payable to the beneficiary will be distributed as
follows: (a) the death benefit must be completely distributed within
5 years of the contract owner's date of death; or (b) the
beneficiary may elect, within the 1-year period after the contract
owner's date of death, to receive the death benefit in the form of an
annuity from us, provided that (i) such annuity is distributed in
substantially equal installments over the life of such beneficiary or
over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such
beneficiary; and (ii) such distributions begin not later than 1 year
after the contract owner's date of death.
Notwithstanding (a) and (b) above, if the sole contract owner's
beneficiary is the deceased owner's surviving spouse, then such
spouse may elect to continue the Contract under the same terms as
before the contract owner's death. Upon receipt of such election
from the spouse at our Customer Service Center: (1) all rights of
the spouse as contract owner's beneficiary under the Contract in
effect prior to such election will cease; (2) the spouse will become
the owner of the Contract and will also be treated as the contingent
annuitant, if none has been named and only if the deceased owner was
the annuitant; and (3) all rights and privileges granted by the
Contract or allowed by Golden American will belong to the spouse as
contract owner of the Contract. This election will be deemed to have
been made by the spouse if such spouse makes a premium payment to the
Contract or fails to make a timely election as described in this
paragraph. If the owner's beneficiary is a nonspouse, the
distribution provisions described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above,
will apply even if the annuitant and/or contingent annuitant are
alive at the time of the contract owner's death.
If we do not receive an election from a nonspouse owner's beneficiary
within the 1-year period after the contract owner's date of death,
then we will pay the death benefit to the owner's beneficiary in a
cash payment within five years from date of death. We will determine
the death benefit as of the date we receive proof of death. We will
make payment of the proceeds on or before the end of the 5-year
period starting on the owner's date of death. Such cash payment will
be in full settlement of all our liability under the Contract.
If the contract owner dies after the annuity start date, we will
continue to distribute any benefit payable at least as rapidly as
under the annuity option then in effect. All of the contract owner's
rights granted under the Contract or allowed by us will pass to the
contract owner's beneficiary.
If the Contract has joint owners we will consider the date of death
of the first joint owner as the death of the contract owner and the
surviving joint owner will become the contract owner of the Contract.
CORPORATE AND SELF-EMPLOYED PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS
Section 401(a) of the Code permits corporate employers to establish
various types of retirement plans for employees, and permits self-
employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and
their employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of
the Contracts to accumulate retirement savings under the plans.
Adverse tax or other legal consequences to the plan, to the
participant, or to both may result if this Contract is assigned or
transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments,
unless the plan complies with all legal requirements applicable to
such benefits before transfer of the Contract. Employers intending
to use the Contract with such plans should seek competent advice.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to
an individual retirement program known as an "Individual Retirement
Annuity" or "IRA." These IRAs are subject to limits on the amount
that can be contributed, the deductible amount of the contribution,
the persons who may be eligible, and the time when distributions
commence. Also, distributions from certain other types of qualified
retirement plans may be "rolled over" or transferred on a tax-
deferred basis into an IRA. There are significant restrictions on
rollover or transfer contributions from Savings Incentive Match Plans
(SIMPLE), under which certain employers may provide contributions to
IRAs on behalf of their employees, subject to special restrictions.
Employers may
33
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
establish Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plans to
provide IRA contributions on behalf of their employees. Sales of the
Contract for use with IRAs may be subject to special requirements of
the IRS.
ROTH IRAS
Section 408A of the Code permits certain eligible individuals to
contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are
subject to certain limitations, are not deductible, and must be made
in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other
IRA. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be
subject to tax, and other special rules may apply. Distributions
from a Roth IRA generally are not taxed, except that, once aggregate
distributions exceed contributions to the Roth IRA, income tax and a
10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2
(subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during the five taxable years
starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any
Roth IRA.
TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES
Section 403(b) of the Code allows employees of certain Section
501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their
gross income the premium payments made, within certain limits, on a
Contract that will provide an annuity for the employee's retirement.
These premium payments may be subject to FICA (social security) tax.
Distributions of (1) salary reduction contributions made in years
beginning after December 31, 1988; (2) earnings on those
contributions; and (3) earnings on amounts held as of the last year
beginning before January 1, 1989, are not allowed prior to age 59
1/2, separation from service, death or disability. Salary reduction
contributions may also be distributed upon hardship, but would
generally be subject to penalties.
OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES
As noted above, the foregoing comments about the federal tax
consequences under the Contracts are not exhaustive, and special
rules are provided with respect to other tax situations not discussed
in this prospectus. Further, the federal income tax consequences
discussed herein reflect our understanding of current law, and the
law may change. Federal estate and state and local estate,
inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of
distributions under a Contract depend on the individual circumstances
of each contract owner or recipient of the distribution. A competent
tax adviser should be consulted for further information.
POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAXATION
Although the likelihood of legislative change is uncertain, there is
always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contracts could
change by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any
change could be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of
the change). A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the Contract.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following selected financial data prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for Golden
American should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus.
On October 24, 1997, PFHI Holdings, Inc. ("PFHI"), a Delaware
corporation, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable of Iowa"), according to a
merger agreement among Equitable of Iowa, PFHI, and ING Groep N.V.
(the "ING acquisition"). On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa
acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of BT Variable,
Inc., then the parent of Golden American (the "Equitable
acquisition"). For financial statement purposes, the ING
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase effective October 25,
1997 and the Equitable acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
effective August 14, 1996. As a result, the financial data
presented below for periods after October 24, 1997, are presented
on the Post-Merger new basis of accounting, for the period August
14, 1996 through October 24, 1997, are presented on the Post-
Acquisition basis of accounting, and for August 13, 1996 and prior
periods are presented on the Pre-Acquisition basis of accounting.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The current business and regulatory environment remains
challenging for the insurance industry. The variable annuity
competitive environment is intense and is dominated by a number of
large variable product companies with strong distribution, name
recognition and wholesaling capabilities. Increasing competition
from traditional insurance carriers as well as banks and mutual
fund companies offer consumers many choices. However, overall
demand for variable products remains strong for several reasons
including: strong stock market performance over the last five
years; relatively low interest rates; an aging U. S. population
that is increasingly concerned about retirement and estate
planning, as well as maintaining their standard of living in
retirement; and potential reductions in government and employer-
provided benefits at retirement as well as lower public confidence
in the adequacy of those benefits.
In October of 1997, Golden American introduced three new variable
annuity products (GoldenSelect Access, GoldenSelect ES II and
GoldenSelect Premium Plus) which have contributed significantly to
sales.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze Golden
American Life Insurance Company's ("Golden American") consolidated
results of operations. In addition, some analysis and information
regarding financial condition and liquidity and capital resources
has also been provided. This analysis should be read jointly with
the consolidated financial statements, related notes and the
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, which
appear elsewhere in the financial report. Golden American reports
financial results on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Golden American and its wholly
owned subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of
New York ("First Golden," and collectively with Golden American,
the "Companies").
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MERGER. On October 23, 1997, Equitable of Iowa Companies'
("Equitable") shareholders approved an Agreement and Plan of
Merger ("Merger Agreement") dated July 7, 1997 among Equitable,
PFHI Holdings, Inc. ("PFHI") and ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). On
October 24, 1997, PFHI, a Delaware corporation, acquired all of
the outstanding capital stock of Equitable according to the Merger
Agreement. PFHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING, a global
financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.
Equitable, an Iowa corporation, in turn owned all the outstanding
capital stock of Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa
("Equitable Life") and Golden American and their wholly owned
subsidiaries. In addition, Equitable owned all the outstanding
capital stock of Locust Street Securities, Inc., Equitable
Investment Services, Inc. (subsequently dissolved), Directed
Services, Inc. ("DSI"), Equitable of Iowa Companies Capital Trust,
Equitable of Iowa Companies Capital Trust II and Equitable of Iowa
Securities Network, Inc. (subsequently renamed ING Funds
Distributor, Inc.). In exchange for the outstanding capital stock
of Equitable, ING paid total consideration of approximately $2.1
billion in cash and stock and assumed approximately $400 million
in debt. As a result of this transaction, Equitable of Iowa
Companies was merged into PFHI, which was simultaneously renamed
Equitable of Iowa Companies, Inc. ("EIC" or "Parent"), a Delaware
corporation.
For financial statement purposes, the change in control of the
Companies through the ING merger was accounted for as a purchase
effective October 25, 1997. This merger resulted in a new basis of
accounting reflecting estimated fair values of assets and
liabilities at the merger date. As a result, the Companies'
financial statements for periods after October 24, 1997 are
presented on the Post-Merger new basis of accounting.
The purchase price was allocated to EIC and its subsidiaries with
$227.6 million allocated to the Companies. Goodwill of $1.4
billion was established for the excess of the merger cost over the
fair value of the assets and liabilities of EIC with $151.1
million attributed to the Companies. Goodwill resulting
40
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
from the merger is being amortized over 40 years on a straight-line
basis. The carrying value will be reviewed periodically for any
indication of impairment in value.
CHANGE IN CONTROL--ACQUISITION. On August 13, 1996, Equitable
acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of BT Variable, Inc.
("BT Variable") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Golden American
and DSI. After the acquisition, the BT Variable, Inc. name was
changed to EIC Variable, Inc. On April 30, 1997, EIC Variable,
Inc. was liquidated and its investments in Golden American and DSI
were transferred to Equitable, while the remainder of its net
assets were contributed to Golden American. On December 30, 1997,
EIC Variable, Inc. was dissolved.
For financial statement purposes, the change in control of Golden
American through the acquisition of BT Variable was accounted for
as a purchase effective August 14, 1996. This acquisition resulted
in a new basis of accounting reflecting estimated fair values of
assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. As a result, the
Companies' financial statements for the period August 14, 1996
through October 24, 1997 are presented on the Post-Acquisition
basis of accounting and for August 13, 1996 and prior periods are
presented on the Pre-Acquisition basis of accounting.
The purchase price was allocated to the three companies purchased
- - BT Variable, DSI, and Golden American. The allocation of the
purchase price to Golden American was approximately $139.9
million. Goodwill of $41.1 million was established for the excess
of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the assets and
liabilities and attributed to Golden American. At June 30, 1997,
goodwill was increased by $1.8 million due to the adjustment of
the value of a receivable existing at the acquisition date. Before
the ING merger, goodwill resulting from the acquisition was being
amortized over 25 years on a straight-line basis.

For the Companies' variable contracts, premiums collected are not reported as
revenues, but as deposits to insurance liabilities. Revenues for these
products are recognized over time in the form of investment income and
product charges.
Variable annuity separate account premiums increased 64.9% during the
first nine months of 1999. The fixed account portion of the Companies'
variable annuity premiums increased 55.6% during the first nine months
of 1999. These increases resulted from increased sales of the Premium
Plus variable annuity product.
Premiums, net of reinsurance, for variable products from two
significant broker/dealers each having at least ten percent of total
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $664.2
million, or 29% of total premiums ($142.6 million, or 10%, from the
one significant broker/dealer for the nine months ended September 30,

Total revenues increased 69.6% in the first nine months of 1999 from
the same period in 1998. Annuity and interest sensitive life product
charges increased 104.5% in the first nine months of 1999 due to
additional fees earned from the increasing block of business
in the separate accounts.
Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory services
to Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"). The fee paid to Golden American
for these services, which is calculated as a percentage of average
assets in the variable separate accounts, was $6.8 million and $3.3
million for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Net investment income increased 45.7% in the first nine months of 1999
due to growth in invested assets from September 30, 1998. The
Companies had $2.2 million of realized losses resulting from the
writedown of two fixed maturities in the second quarter of 1999 and
from the sale of investments in the first nine months of 1999,
compared to gains of $0.4 million in the same period of 1998. Other
income increased $2.6 million to $7.4 million in the first nine months
of 1999 due primarily to income received due to a modified coinsurance
agreement with an unaffiliated reinsurer, which was offset by a
reduction in the Companies' deferred policy acquisition costs.
EXPENSES. Total insurance benefits and expenses increased $44.5
million, or 84.6%, to $97.0 million in the first nine months of 1999.
Interest credited to account balances increased $61.3 million, or
95.6%, to $125.4 million in the first nine months of 1999. The extra
credit bonus on the Premium Plus variable annuity product increased
$49.9 million to $85.7 million at September 30, 1999 resulting in an
increase in interest credited during the first nine months of 1999
compared to the same period in 1998. The bonus interest on the fixed
account increased $2.6 million to $7.6 million at September 30, 1999
resulting in an increase in interest credited during the first nine
months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The remaining
increase in interest credited relates to higher account balances
associated with the Companies' fixed account option within the
variable products.
Commissions increased $49.6 million, or 58.4%, to $134.6 million in
the first nine months of 1999. Insurance taxes, state licenses, and
fees increased $0.9 million, or 32.3%, to $3.5 million in the first
nine months of 1999. Changes in commissions and insurance taxes, state
licenses, and fees are generally related to changes in the level and
composition of variable product sales. Insurance taxes, state
licenses, and fees are impacted by several other factors, which
include an increase in FICA taxes primarily due to bonuses and
expenses for the triennial insurance department examination of Golden
American. Most costs incurred as the result of sales have been deferred,
thus having very little impact on current earnings.
General expenses increased $24.1 million, or 102.5%, to $47.6 million
in the first nine months of 1999. Management expects general expenses
to continue to increase in 1999 as a result of the emphasis on
expanding the salaried wholesaler distribution network and the growth
in sales. The Companies use a network of wholesalers to distribute
products and the salaries and sales bonuses of these wholesalers are
included in
42
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
general expenses. The portion of these salaries and
related expenses that varies directly with production levels is
deferred thus having little impact on current earnings. The increase
in general expenses was partially offset by reimbursements received
from DSI and Equitable Life, an affiliate, for certain advisory,
computer, and other resources and services provided by Golden
American.
The Companies' previous balances of deferred policy acquisition costs
("DPAC"), value of purchased insurance in force ("VPIF"), and unearned
revenue reserve were eliminated and an asset of $44.3 million
representing VPIF was established for all policies in force at the
merger date. During the first nine months of 1999, VPIF was adjusted
to increase amortization by $0.7 million to reflect changes in the
assumptions related to the timing of estimated gross profits. During
the first nine months of 1998, VPIF decreased $2.7 million to adjust
the value of other receivables and increased $0.2 million as a result
of an adjustment to the merger costs. Amortization of DPAC increased
$15.7 million, or 390.7%, in the first nine months of 1999. This
increase resulted from growth in policy acquisition costs deferred
from $133.6 million at September 30, 1998 to $244.8 million at
September 30, 1999, which was generated by expenses associated with
the large sales volume experienced since September 30, 1998. Based on
current conditions and assumptions as to the impact of future events
on acquired policies in force, the expected approximate net
amortization relating to VPIF as of September 30, 1999 is $1.1 million
for the remainder of 1999, $4.3 million in 2000, $4.0 million in 2001,
$3.6 million in 2002, $3.2 million in 2003, and $2.4 million in 2004.
Actual amortization may vary based upon changes in assumptions and
experience.
Amortization of goodwill during the first nine months of 1999 totaled
$2.8 million, unchanged from the first nine months of 1998. Goodwill
resulting from the merger is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over 40 years.
Interest expense on the $25 million surplus note issued in December
1996 and expiring December 2026 was $1.5 million in the first nine
months of 1999, unchanged from the same period of 1998. Interest
expense on the $60 million surplus note issued in December 1998 and
expiring December 2028 was $3.3 million in the first nine months of
1999. Golden American also paid $0.7 million in the first nine months
of 1999 compared to $1.3 million in the same period of 1998 to ING
America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH") for interest on the
reciprocal loan agreement. Interest expense on the revolving note
payable with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta was $0.1 million for the first
nine months of 1999. In addition, Golden American paid interest of
$0.2 million during the first quarter of 1998 on the line of
credit with Equitable, which was repaid with a capital contribution
from the Parent and with funds borrowed from ING AIH.
INCOME. Net income for the first nine months of 1999 was $3.6
million, a decrease of $1.3 million from net income of $4.9 million in
the same period of 1998.
Comprehensive loss for the first nine months of 1999 was $18,000, a
decrease of $5.5 million from comprehensive income of $5.5 million in
the same period of 1998.

For the Companies' variable contracts, premiums collected are not
reported as revenues, but are reported as deposits to insurance
liabilities. Revenues for these products are recognized over time in
the form of investment income and product charges.
Variable annuity separate account premiums increased 419.7% in 1998
primarily due to increased sales of the Premium Plus product
introduced in October of 1997 and the increased sales levels of the
Companies' other products. The fixed account portion of the Companies'
variable annuity premiums increased 85.1% in 1998. Variable life
premiums decreased 11.4% in 1998. Total premiums increased 238.7% in
1998.
During 1998, the Companies' sales were further diversified among
broker/dealers. Premiums, net of reinsurance, for variable products
from two significant broker/dealers having at least ten percent of
total sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled $580.7
million, or 27% of premiums ($328.2 million, or 53% from two

Total revenues increased 72.3%, or $38.0 million, to $90.5 million in
1998. Annuity and interest sensitive life product charges increased
76.8%, or $17.0 million, to $39.1 million in 1998 due to additional
fees earned from the increasing block of business under management in
the separate accounts and an increase in surrender charge revenues.
This increase was partially offset by the elimination of the unearned
revenue reserve related to in force acquired business at the merger
date, which resulted in lower annuity and interest sensitive life
product charges compared to Post-Acquisition levels.
Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory services
to DSI. The fee paid to Golden American for these services, which is
calculated as a percentage of average assets in the variable separate
accounts, was $4.8 million for 1998 and $2.8 million for 1997.
Net investment income increased 58.6%, or $15.7 million, to $42.5
million in 1998 from $26.8 million in 1997 due to growth in invested
assets. During 1998, the Company had net realized losses on
investments of $1.5 million, which included a $1.0 million write down
of two impaired bonds, compared to gains of $0.1 million in 1997.
Other income increased $4.9 million to $5.6 million in 1998 due
primarily to income received under a modified coinsurance agreement

introduced in October of 1997 generated a $51.6 million increase in
interest credited during 1998 compared to 1997. The remaining increase
in interest credited related to higher account balances associated
with the Companies' fixed account option within its variable products.

Commissions increased 234.2%, or $84.9 million, in 1998 from $36.3
million in 1997. Insurance taxes increased 77.0%, or $1.8 million, in
1998 from $2.3 million in 1997. Changes in commissions and insurance
taxes are generally related to changes in the level of variable
product sales. Insurance taxes are impacted by several other factors,
which include an increase in FICA taxes primarily due to bonuses. Most
costs incurred as the result of new sales including the extra credit
bonus were deferred, thus having very little impact on current
earnings.
General expenses increased 117.7%, or $20.3 million, in 1998 from
$17.3 million in 1997. Management expects general expenses to continue
to increase in 1999 as a result of the emphasis on expanding the
salaried wholesaler distribution network. The Companies use a network
of wholesalers to distribute products and the salaries of these
wholesalers are included in general expenses. The portion of these
salaries and related expenses that varies with production levels is
deferred thus having little impact on current earnings. The increase
in general expenses was partially offset by reimbursements received
from Equitable Life, an affiliate, for certain advisory, computer and
other resources and services provided by Golden American.
At the merger date, the Companies' deferred policy acquisition costs
("DPAC"), previous balance of value of purchased insurance in force
("VPIF") and unearned revenue reserve were eliminated and a new asset
of $44.3 million representing VPIF was established for all policies in
force at the merger date. During 1998, VPIF was adjusted to reduce
amortization by $0.2 million to reflect changes in the assumptions
related to the timing of future gross profits. VPIF decreased $2.6
million in the second quarter of 1998 to adjust the value of other
receivables recorded at the time of merger and increased $0.2 million
in the first quarter of 1998 as the result of an adjustment to the
merger costs. The amortization of VPIF and DPAC increased $1.1
million, or 13.0%, in 1998. During the second quarter of 1997, VPIF
was adjusted by $2.3 million to reflect narrower spreads than the
gross profit model assumed.
Amortization of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled
$3.8 million compared to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1997.
Interest expense on the $25 million surplus note issued December 1996
and expiring December 2026 was $2.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, unchanged from the same period of 1997. In
addition, Golden American incurred interest expense of $0.2 million in
1998 compared to $0.5 million in 1997 on the line of credit with
Equitable which was repaid with a capital contribution. Golden
American also paid $1.8 million in 1998 to ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH") for interest on the reciprocal loan
agreement. Interest expense on the revolving note payable with
SunTrust Bank, Atlanta was $0.3 million for the year ended December
31, 1998.
INCOME. Net income for 1998 was $5.1 million, an increase of $4.8
million from $0.3 million in 1997.
Comprehensive income for 1998 was $3.9 million, an increase of $1.8
million from $2.1 million in 1997.

Variable annuity separate account and variable life premiums increased
59.6% and 10.1%, respectively in 1997. During 1997, stock market
returns, a relatively low interest rate environment and flat yield
curve have made returns provided by variable annuities and mutual funds
more attractive than fixed rate products such as certificates of
deposits and fixed annuities. The fixed account portion of the
Companies' variable annuity premiums increased 29.7% in 1997 due to
the Companies' marketing emphasis on fixed rates during the second
and third quarters. Premiums, net of reinsurance, for variable
products from two significant broker/dealers having at least ten
percent of total sales for the year ended December 31, 1997, totaled
$328.2 million, or 53% of premiums ($298.0 million or 67% from two
significant broker/dealers for the year ended December 31, 1996).

Total revenues increased 53.3%, or $18.2 million, to $52.5 million in
1997. Annuity and interest sensitive life product charges increased
5.2%, or $1.1 million in 1997 due to additional fees earned from the
increasing block of business under management in the Separate Accounts
and an increase in the collection of surrender charges.
Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory services
to DSI. This fee, calculated as a percentage of average assets in the
variable separate accounts, was $2.8 million for 1997 and $2.3 million
for 1996.
Net investment income increased 148.3%, or $16.0 million, to $26.8
million in 1997 from $10.8 million in 1996 due to growth in invested
assets. During 1997, the Company had net realized gains on the
disposal of investments, which were the result of voluntary sales, of
$0.1 million compared to net realized losses of $0.4 million in 1996.

Total insurance benefits and expenses increased 59.3%, or $18.8
million, in 1997 from $31.9 million in 1996. Interest credited to
account balances increased 164.4%, or $16.6 million, in 1997 as a
result of higher account balances associated with the Company's fixed
account option within its variable products.
Commissions increased 37.3%, or $9.8 million, in 1997 from $26.5
million in 1996. Insurance taxes increased 23.3%, or $0.4 million, in
1997 from $1.9 million in 1996. Increases and decreases in
commissions and insurance taxes are generally related to changes in
the level of variable product sales.
49
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Insurance taxes are also impacted by several other factors which include
an increase in FICA taxes primarily due to bonuses and an increase in
state licenses and fees. Most costs incurred as the result of new sales
were deferred, thus having very little impact on earnings.
General expenses increased 12.6%, or $2.0 million, in 1997 from $15.3
million in 1996 due in part to certain expenses associated with the
merger occurring on October 24, 1997. In addition, the Company uses a
network of wholesalers to distribute its products and the salaries of
these wholesalers are included in general expenses. The portion of
these salaries and related expenses which vary with sales production
levels are deferred, thus having little impact on earnings. This
increase in general expenses was partially offset by reimbursements
received from Equitable Life, an affiliate, for certain advisory,
computer and other resources and services provided by Golden American.
During the second quarter of 1997, present value of in force acquired
("PVIF") was unlocked by $2.3 million to reflect narrower current
spreads than the gross profit model assumed. The Company's deferred
policy acquisition costs ("DPAC"), previous balance of PVIF and
unearned revenue reserve, as of the merger date, were eliminated and
an asset of $44.3 million representing PVIF was established for all
policies in force at the merger date. The amortization of PVIF and
DPAC increased $2.4 million, or 37.1%, in 1997. Based on current
conditions and assumptions as to the impact of future events on
acquired policies in force, the expected approximate net amortization
for the next five years, relating to the PVIF as of December 31, 1997,
is $6.2 million in 1998, $6.0 million in 1999, $5.6 million in 2000,
$5.0 million in 2001 and $4.2 million in 2002.
Amortization of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 1997 totaled
$2.0 million compared to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31,
1996.
Interest expense on the $25 million surplus note issued December 1996
was $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Interest on
any line of credit borrowings was charged at the rate of Equitable's
monthly average aggregate cost of short-term funds plus 1.00%. During
1997, the Company paid $0.6 million to Equitable for interest on the
line of credit.
INCOME. Net income on a combined basis for 1997 was $0.3 million, a
decrease of $3.2 million, or 91.4%, from 1996.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
RATINGS. During 1998, the Companies' ratings were upgraded by
Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("Standard & Poor's") from AA to
AA+. During the first quarter of 1999, the Companies' ratings were
upgraded by Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Company from AA+ to AAA.
INVESTMENTS. The financial statement carrying value and amortized
cost basis of the Companies' total investment portfolio grew 8.7% and
10.5%, respectively, during the first nine months of 1999. All of the
Companies' investments, other than mortgage loans on real estate, are
carried at fair value in the Companies' financial statements. As such,
growth in the carrying value of the Companies' investment portfolio
included changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation of fixed
maturities as well as growth in the cost basis of these securities.
Growth in the cost basis of the Companies' investment portfolio
resulted from the investment of premiums from the sale of the
Companies' fixed account options. The Companies manage the growth of
insurance operations in order to maintain adequate capital ratios. To
support the fixed account options of the Companies' variable insurance
products, cash flow was invested primarily in fixed maturities and
short-term investments.
At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Companies had no
investments in default. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
the Companies' investment portfolio had a yield of 6.6% and 6.4%,
respectively.
50
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Companies estimate the total investment portfolio, excluding
policy loans, had a fair value approximately equal to 98.0%
of amortized cost value at September 30, 1999 (100.2% at December
31, 1998).
Fixed Maturities: At September 30, 1999, the Companies had fixed
maturities with an amortized cost of $815.0 million and an estimated
fair value of $798.7 million. At December 31, 1998, the Companies had
fixed maturities with an amortized cost of $739.8 million and an
estimated fair value of $742.0 million.
The Companies classify 100% of securities as available for sale. At
September 30, 1999, net unrealized depreciation on fixed maturities of
$16.3 million was comprised of gross appreciation of $0.8 million and
gross depreciation of $17.1 million. Net unrealized holding losses on
these securities, net of adjustments to VPIF, DPAC, and deferred
income taxes of $4.0 million, was included in stockholder's equity at
September 30, 1999. At December 31, 1998 net unrealized appreciation
of fixed maturities of $2.2 million was comprised of gross
appreciation of $6.7 million and gross depreciation of $4.5 million.
Net unrealized holding gains on these securities, net of adjustments
to VPIF, DPAC, and deferred income taxes of $1.0 million was included
in stockholder's equity at December 31, 1998.
The individual securities in the Companies' fixed maturities portfolio
(at amortized cost) include investment grade securities, which include
securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, and
corporations, that are rated at least A- by Standard & Poor's ($528.0
million or 64.8% at September 30, 1999 and $477.4 million or 64.5% at
December 31, 1998), that are rated BBB+ to BBB- by Standard & Poor's
($138.0 million or 16.9% at September 30, 1999 and $124.0 million or
16.8% at December 31, 1998) and below investment grade securities
which are securities issued by corporations that are rated BB+ to CCC-
by Standard & Poor's ($72.3 million or 8.9% at September 30, 1999 and
$51.6 million or 7.0% at December 31, 1998). Securities not rated by
Standard & Poor's had a National Association of Insurance
Commissioners ("NAIC") rating of 1, 2, 3 or 4 ($76.7 million or 9.4%
at September 30, 1999 and $86.8 million or 11.7% at December 31,
1998). The Companies' fixed maturity investment portfolio had a
combined yield at amortized cost of 6.6% at September 30, 1999 and
6.5% at December 31, 1998.
Fixed maturities rated BBB+ to BBB- may have speculative
characteristics and changes in economic conditions or other
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the
issuer to make principal and interest payments than is the case with
higher rated fixed maturities.
At September 30, 1999, the amortized cost value of the Companies'
total investment in below investment grade securities, excluding
mortgage-backed securities, was $73.7 million, or 7.4%, of the
Companies' investment portfolio ($52.7 million, or 5.9%, at December
31, 1998). The Companies intend to purchase additional below
investment grade securities but do not expect the percentage of the
portfolio invested in such securities to exceed 10% of the investment
portfolio. At September 30, 1999, the yield at amortized cost on the
Companies' below investment grade portfolio was 7.8% compared to 6.6%
for the Companies' investment grade corporate bond portfolio. AAt
December 31, 1998, the yield at amortized cost on the Companies' below
investment grade portfolio was 7.9% compared to 6.4% for the
Companies' investment grade corporate bond portfolio. The Companies
estimate the fair value of the below investment grade portfolio was
$70.5 million, or 95.6% of amortized cost value, at September 30, 1999
($51.7 million, or 98.1% of amortized cost value, at December 31,
1998).
Below investment grade securities have different characteristics than
investment grade corporate debt securities. Risk of loss upon default
by the borrower is significantly greater with respect to below
investment grade securities than with other corporate debt securities.
Below investment grade securities are generally unsecured and are
often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Also, issuers of
below investment grade securities usually have higher levels of debt
and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as a
recession or increasing interest rates, than are investment grade
issuers. The Companies attempt to reduce the overall risk in the below
investment grade portfolio, as in all investments, through careful
credit analysis, strict investment policy guidelines, and
diversification by company and by industry.
51
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Companies analyze the investment portfolio, including below
investment grade securities, at least quarterly in order to determine
if the Companies' ability to realize the carrying value on any
investment has been impaired. For debt and equity securities, if
impairment in value is determined to be other than temporary (i.e. if
it is probable the Companies will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the security), the cost basis of
the impaired security is written down to fair value, which becomes the
new cost basis. The amount of the write-down is included in earnings
as a realized loss. Future events may occur, or additional or updated
information may be received, which may necessitate future write-downs
of securities in the Companies' portfolio. Significant write-downs in
the carrying value of investments could materially adversely affect
the Companies' net income in future periods.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and Ifor the year
ended December 31, 1998, fixed maturities designated as available for
sale with a combined amortized cost of $170.6 million and $145.3
million, respectively, were called or repaid by their issuers. In
total, net pre-tax losses from sales, calls, and repayments of fixed
maturities amounted to $2.2 million and $0.5 million, for the first
nine months of 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998,
respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 1998, Golden American determined that the
carrying value of two bonds exceeded their estimated net realizable
value. As a result, at December 31, 1998, Golden American
recognized a total pre-tax loss of approximately $1.0 million to
reduce the carrying value of the bonds to their combined net
realizable value of $2.9 million. During the second quarter of 1999,
further information was received regarding these bonds and Golden
American determined that the carrying value of the two bonds exceeded
their estimated net realizeable value. As a result, at June 30, 1999
Golden American recognized a total pre-tax loss of approximately $1.6
million to further reduce the carrying value of the bonds to their
combined net realizeable value of $1.1 million.
Equity Securities: At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
Eequity securities represented 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively, of the
Companies' investment portfolio. At September 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998, the Companies owned equity securities with a cost of $14.4
million and an estimated fair value of $13.7 million and $11.5
million, respectively. At September 30, 1999, net unrealized
depreciation of equity securities of $0.7 million was comprised of
gross appreciation of $0.3 million and gross depreciation of
$1.0 million at December 31, 1998 net unrealized depreciation of
equity securities was comprised entirely of gross depreciation of
$2.9 million . Equity securities are primarily comprised of
investments in shares of the mutual funds underlying the Companies'
registered separate accounts.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: Mortgage loans on real estate
represented 9.5% and 10.9% of the Companies' investment portfolio at
September 30, 1999 and at December 31, 1998, respectively. Mortgages
outstanding at amortized cost were $93.9 million September 30, 1999
with an estimated fair value of $91.2 million. Mortgages outstanding
were $97.3 million at December 31, 1998 with an estimated fair value
of $99.8 million. At September 30, 1999, the Companies' mortgage loan
portfolio included 57 loans with an average size of $1.6 million and
average seasoning of 0.8 years if weighted by the number of loans. At
December 31, 1998, Tthe Companies' mortgage loan portfolio includeds
57 loans with an average size of $1.7 million and average seasoning of
0.9 years if weighted by the number of loans. The Companies' mortgage
loans on real estate are typically secured by occupied buildings in
major metropolitan locations and not speculative developments and are
diversified by type of property and geographic location.
Mortgage loans on real estate have been analyzed by geographical
location with concentrations by state identified as California (12% in
1998 and 1997), Utah (11% in 1998, 13% in 1997) and Georgia (10% in
1998, 11% in 1997). There are no other concentrations of mortgage
loans in any state exceeding ten percent at December 31, 1998 and
1997. Mortgage loans on real estate have also been analyzed by
collateral type with significant concentrations identified in office
buildings (36% in 1998, 43% in 1997), industrial buildings (32% in
1998, 33% in 1997) and retail facilities (20% in 1998, 15% in 1997).
As of September 30, 1999, there have been no significant changes to
the concentrations of mortgage loans on real estate compared to December
31, 1998. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the yield on
the Companies' mortgage loan portfolio was 7.3%.
52
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, no mortgage loan on real
estate was delinquent by 90 days or more. The Companies' loan
investment strategy is consistent with other life insurance
subsidiaries of ING in the U.S. The insurance subsidiaries of EIC have
experienced a historically low default rate in their mortgage loan
portfolios.
OTHER ASSETS. Accrued investment income increased $2.3 million during
the first nine months of 1999 due to an increase in the overall size
of the portfolio resulting from the investment of premiums allocated
to the fixed account options of the Companies' variable products.
DPAC represents certain deferred costs of acquiring insurance
business, principally first year commissions and interest bonuses,
extra credit bonuses and other expenses related to the production of
new business after the merger. The Companies' previous balances of
DPAC and VPIF were eliminated as of the merger date, and an asset
representing VPIF was established for all policies in force at the
merger date. VPIF is amortized into income in proportion to the
expected gross profits of in force acquired business in a manner
similar to DPAC amortization. Any expenses which vary directly with
the sales of the Companies' products are deferred and amortized. At
September 30, 1999, the Companies had DPAC and VPIF balances of $439.2
million and $33.0 million ($205.0 million and $36.0 million,
respectively at December 31, 1998). During the first nine months of
1998, VPIF decreased $2.7 million to adjust the value of other
receivables and increased $0.2 million as a result of an adjustment to
the merger costs.
Property and equipment increased $5.7 million, or 77.1%, during the
first nine months of 1999, due to the purchase of furniture and other
equipment for Golden American's new offices in West Chester,
Pennsylvania. Property and equipment increased $5.8 million during
1998, due to installation of a new policy administration system,
introduction of an imaging system as well as the growth in the
business.
Goodwill totaling $151.1 million, representing the excess of the
acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, was
established at the merger date. Accumulated amortization of goodwill
as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was $7.2 million and
$4.4 million, respectively.
Other assets increased $35.8 million during the first nine months of
1999 due mainly to an increase in a receivable from the separate
account. Other assets increased $5.5 million during 1998 due mainly
to an increase in amounts due from an unaffiliated reinsurer under a
modified coinsurance agreement.
At September 30, 1999, the Companies had $5.6 billion of separate
account assets compared to $3.4 billion at December 31, 1998. The
increase in separate account assets resulted from market appreciation,
increased transfer activity, and sales of the Companies' variable
annuity products, net of redemptions. At December 31, 1998, the
Companies had $3.4 billion of separate account assets compared to $1.6
billion at December 31, 1997. The increase in separate account assets
resulted from market appreciation and growth in sales of the
Companies' variable annuity products, net of redemptions.
At September 30, 1999, the Companies had total assets of $7.3 billion,
a 53.9% increase from December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1998,
the Companies had total assets of $4.8 billion, an increase of 94.3%
from December 31, 1997.
LIABILITIES. In conjunction with the volume of variable annuity
sales, the Companies' total liabilities increased $2.5 billion, or
55.9%, during the first nine months of 1999 and totaled $6.9 billion
at September 30, 1999. At September 30, 1999, future policy benefits
for annuity and interest sensitive life products increased $128.3
million, or 14.6%, to $1.0 billion reflecting premium growth in the
Companies' fixed account options of its variable products, net of
transfers to the separate accounts. Market appreciation, increased
transfer activity, and premiums, net of redemptions, accounted for the
$2.2 billion, or 64.9%, increase in separate account liabilities to
$5.6 billion at September 30, 1999.
In conjunction with the volume of variable annuity sales, the
Companies' total liabilities increased $2.2 billion, or 98.2%, during
1998 and totaled $4.4 billion at December 31, 1998. Future policy
benefits for annuity and interest sensitive life products increased
$375.8 million, or 74.4%, to $881.1 million reflecting premium growth
in the Companies' fixed account option of its variable products.
Market appreciation and premium growth, net of redemptions, accounted
for the $1.7 billion, or 106.3%, increase in separate account
liabilities to $3.4 billion at December 31, 1998.

On September 30, 1999, Golden American issued a $75 million, 7.75%
surplus note to ING AIH, which matures on September 29, 2029.
On December 30, 1998, Golden American issued a $60 million, 7.25%
surplus note to Equitable Life, which matures on December 29, 2028.
On December 17, 1996, Golden American issued a $25 million, 8.25%
surplus note to Equitable which matures on December 17, 2026. As a
result of the merger, the surplus note is now payable to EIC.
At September 30, 1999, other liabilities increased $47.5 million from
$32.6 million at December 31, 1998, due primarily to increases in
securities payables and remittances to be applied.
At December 31, 1998, other liabilities increased $15.3 million from
$17.3 million at December 31, 1997, due primarily to increases in
accounts payable, outstanding checks, guaranty fund assessment
liability, and pension liability.
The effects of inflation and changing prices on the Companies'
financial position are not material since insurance assets and
liabilities are both primarily monetary and remain in balance. An
effect of inflation, which has been low in recent years, is a decline
in stockholder's equity when monetary assets exceed monetary
liabilities.
STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY. Additional paid-in capital increased $100.0
million, or 28.8%, from December 31, 1998 to $447.6 million at
September 30, 1999 due to capital contributions from the Parent.
Additional paid-in capital increased $122.6 million, or 54.5%, from
December 31, 1997 to $347.6 million at December 31, 1998 primarily due
to capital contributions from the Parent.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of the Companies to generate sufficient cash
flows to meet the cash requirements of operating, investing, and
financing activities. The Companies' principal sources of cash are
variable annuity premiums and product charges, investment income,
maturing investments, proceeds from debt issuance, and capital
contributions made by the Parent. Primary uses of these funds are
payments of commissions and operating expenses, interest and extra
premium credits, investment purchases, repayment of debt, as well as
withdrawals and surrenders.
Net cash used in operating activities was $60.0 million in the first
nine months of 1999 compared to $22.7 million in the same period of
1998. Net cash used in operating activities was $63.9 million in 1998
compared to $4.8 million in 1997. The Companies have predominantly had
negative cash flows from operating activities since Golden American
started issuing variable insurance products in 1989. These negative
operating cash flows result primarily from the funding of commissions
and other deferrable expenses related to the continued growth in the
variable annuity products. The 1998 increase in net cash used in
operating activities resulted principally from the introduction of
Golden American's extra premium credit product in October 1997. In
1998, $54.4 million in extra premium credits was added to contract
holders' account values versus $2.8 million in 1997.
Net cash used in investing activities was $111.3 million during the
first nine months of 1999 as compared to $224.5 million in the same
period of 1998. This decrease is primarily due to greater net
purchases of fixed maturities, equity securities, and mortgage loans
on real estate during the first nine months of 1998 than in the same
period of 1999. Net purchases of fixed maturities reached $79.7
million during the first nine months of 1999 versus $199.0 million in
the same period of 1998. Net sales of mortgage loans on real estate
were $3.2 million during the first nine months of 1999 compared to net
purchases of $13.2 million during the first nine months of 1998.
Net cash used in investing activities was $390.0 million during 1998
as compared to $198.5 million in 1997. This increase is primarily due
to greater net purchases of fixed maturities resulting from an
increase in funds available from net fixed account deposits. Net
purchases of fixed maturities reached
54
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
$331.3 million in 1998 versus $135.3 million in 1997. Net purchases
of mortgage loans on real estate, on the other hand, declined to $12.6
million from $51.2 at December 31, 1997in the prior year. In 1998,
net purchases of short-term investments were unusually high due to
the investment of the remaining proceeds of Golden American's $60.0
million surplus note issued on December 30, 1998.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $177.5 million during
the first nine months of 1999 compared to $245.1 million during the
same period of 1998. In the first nine months of 1999, net cash
provided by financing activities was positively impacted by net fixed
account deposits of $441.7 million compared to $300.0 million in the
same period of 1998. This increase was offset by net reallocations to
the Companies' separate accounts, which increased to $439.2 million
from $163.5 million during the prior year, and by a decrease in net
borrowings of $54.8 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared
to the first nine months of 1998. In the first nine months of 1999,
another important source of cash provided by financing activities was
$100.0 million in capital contributions from the Parent compared to
$53.8 million in the first nine months of 1998. In addition, another
source of cash provided by financing activities during the third
quarter of 1999 was $75.0 million in proceeds from a surplus note
with ING AIH.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $439.5 million during
1998 as compared to $218.6 million during the prior year. In 1998, net
cash provided by financing activities was positively impacted by net
fixed account deposits of $520.8 million compared to $303.6 million in
1997. This increase was partially offset by net reallocations to the
Companies' separate accounts, which increased to $239.7 million from
$110.1 million during the prior year. In 1998, other important sources
of cash provided by financing activities were $98.4 million of capital
contributions from the Parent and $60.0 million of proceeds from the
issuance of a surplus note on December 30, 1998. The Companies have
used part of the proceeds of the surplus note to repay outstanding
short-term debt.
The Companies' liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate
levels of liquid assets, such as cash or cash equivalents and short-
term investments. Additional sources of liquidity include borrowing
facilities to meet short-term cash requirements. Golden American
maintains a $65.0 million reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH,
which expires on December 31, 2007. In addition, the Companies
have an $85.0 million revolving note facility with SunTrust Bank,
Atlanta, which expires on July 31, 2000. Management believes that
these sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Companies'
short-term cash obligations.
Based on current trends, the Companies expect to continue to use net
cash in operating activities, given the continued growth of the
variable annuity products. It is anticipated that a continuation of
capital contributions from the Parent and the issuance of additional
surplus notes will cover these net cash outflows. ING is committed to
the sustained growth of Golden American. During 1999, ING will
maintain Golden American's statutory capital and surplus at the end of
each quarter at a level such that: 1) the ratio of Total Adjusted
Capital divided by Company Action Level Risk Based Capital exceeds
300%; 2) the ratio of Total Adjusted Capital (excluding surplus notes)
divided by Company Action Level Risk Based Capital exceeds 200%; and
3) Golden American's statutory capital and surplus exceeds the
"Amounts Accrued for Expense Allowances Recognized in Reserves" as
disclosed on page 3, Line 13A of Golden American's Statutory
Statement.
During the first quarter of 1999, Golden American's operations were
moved to a new site in West Chester, Pennsylvania. During the third
quarter of 1999, Golden American occupied an additional 20,000 square
feet and currently occupies 85,000 square feet of leased space, its
affiliate occupies 20,000 square feet, and it has made commitments for
an additional 20,000 square feet to be occupied by itself or its
affiliates during the fourth quarter of 1999. Previously, Golden
American's home office operations were housed in leased locations in
Wilmington, Delaware and various locations in Pennsylvania, which were
leased on a short-term basis for use in the transition to the new
office building. Golden American's New York subsidiary is housed in
leased space in New York, New York. The Companies intend to spend
approximately $1.0 million on capital needs during the remainder of
1999.
The ability of Golden American to pay dividends to its Parent is
restricted. Prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities is
required for payment of dividends to the stockholder which exceed an
annual
55
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
limit. During 1999, Golden American cannot pay dividends to its
Parent without prior approval of statutory authorities.
Under the provisions of the insurance laws of the State of New York,
First Golden cannot distribute any dividends to its stockholder,
Golden American, unless a notice of its intent to declare a dividend
and the amount of the dividend has been filed with the New York
Insurance Department at least thirty days in advance of the proposed
declaration. If the Superintendent of the New York Insurance Department
finds the financial condition of First Golden does not warrant the
distribution, the Superintendent may disapprove the distribution by
giving written notice to First Golden within thirty days after the
filing. The management of First Golden does not anticipate paying
any dividends to Golden American during 1999.
The NAIC's risk-based capital requirements require insurance companies
to calculate and report information under a risk-based capital
formula. These requirements are intended to allow insurance regulators
to monitor the capitalization of insurance companies based upon the
type and mixture of risks inherent in a company's operations. The
formula includes components for asset risk, liability risk, interest
rate exposure and other factors. The Companies have complied with the
NAIC's risk-based capital reporting requirements. Amounts reported
indicate the Companies have total adjusted capital well above all
required capital levels.
Reinsurance: At September 30, 1999 and at December 31, 1998, Golden
American had reinsurance treaties with four unaffiliated reinsurers
and one affiliated reinsurer covering a significant portion of the
mortality risks under its variable contracts. Golden American remains
liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations
under the reinsurance agreements.

MARKET RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the
Companies' operations, including investment decisions, product
development and crediting rates determination. As part of the risk
management process, different economic scenarios are modeled,
including cash flow testing required for insurance regulatory
purposes, to determine that existing assets are adequate to meet
projected liability cash flows. Key variables include
contractholder behavior and the variable separate accounts'
performance.
Contractholders bear the majority of the investment risks related
to the variable products. Therefore, the risks associated with the
investments supporting the variable separate accounts are assumed
by contractholders, not by the Companies (subject to, among other
things, certain minimum guarantees). The Companies' products also
provide certain minimum death benefits that depend on the
performance of the variable separate accounts. Currently the
majority of death benefit risks are reinsured, which protects the
Companies from adverse mortality experience and prolonged capital
market decline.
A surrender, partial withdrawal, transfer or annuitization made
prior to the end of a guarantee period from the fixed account may
be subject to a market value adjustment. As the majority of the
liabilities in the fixed account are subject to market value
adjustment, the Companies do not face a material amount of market
risk volatility. The fixed account liabilities are supported by a
portfolio principally composed of fixed rate investments that can
generate predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio
management strategy for the fixed account considers the assets
available for sale. This enables the Companies to respond to
changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment risk,
changes in relative values of asset sectors and individual
securities and loans, changes in credit quality outlook and other
relevant factors. The objective of portfolio management is to
maximize returns, taking into account interest rate and credit
risks as well as other risks. The Companies' asset/liability
management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure to
loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change.
57
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
On the basis of these analyses, management believes there is no
material solvency risk to the Companies. With respect to a 10%
drop in equity values from year-end 1998 levels, variable separate
account funds, which represent 85% of the in force as of
September 30, 1999, pass the risk in underlying fund performance
to the contract holder (except for certain minimum guarantees that
are mostly reinsured). With respect to interest rate movements
up or down 100 basis points from year-end 1998 levels, the
remaining 15% of the in force as of September 30, 1999 are fixed
account funds and almost all of these have market value adjustments
which provide significant protection against changes in interest
rates.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Any forward-looking statement contained herein or in any other
oral or written statement by the Companies or any of their
officers, directors or employees is qualified by the fact that
actual results of the Companies may differ materially from such
statement, among other risks and uncertainties inherent in the
Companies' business, due to the following important factors:
1. Prevailing interest rate levels and stock market performance,
which may affect the ability of the Companies to sell their
products, the market value and liquidity of the Companies'
investments and the lapse rate of the Companies' policies,
notwithstanding product design features intended to enhance
persistency of the Companies' products.
58
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
2. Changes in the federal income tax laws and regulations which
may affect the tax status of the Companies'products.
3. Changes in the regulation of financial services, including
bank sales and underwriting of insurance products, which
may affect the competitive environment for the Companies'
products.
4. Increasing competition in the sale of the Companies' products.
5. Other factors that could affect the performance of the
Companies, including, but not limited to, market conduct
claims, litigation, insurance industry insolvencies,
availability of competitive reinsurance on new business,
investment performance of the underlying portfolios of the
variable products, variable product design and sales volume by
significant sellers of the Companies' variable products.
6. To the extent third parties are unable to transact business in
the Year 2000 and thereafter, the Companies' operations could
be adversely affected.
OTHER INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION. During the period since the acquisition by
Bankers Trust, September 30, 1992 to date of this Prospectus,
Golden American's operations consisted of one business segment,
the sale of annuity and life insurance products. Golden American
and its affiliate DSI are party to in excess of 140 sales
agreements with broker-dealers, three of whom, Locust Street
Securities, Inc., Vestax Securities Corporation, and Multi-
Financial Securities Corporation, are affiliates of Golden
American. As of September 30, 1999, two broker-dealers produce
10% or more of Golden American's product sales.
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 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 business produced by that broker-dealer.
RESERVES. In accordance with the life insurance laws and
regulations under which Golden American operates, it is obligated
to carry on its books, as liabilities, actuarially determined
reserves to meet its obligations on outstanding Contracts.
Reserves, based on valuation mortality tables in general use in
the United States, where applicable, are computed to equal amounts
which, together with interest on such reserves computed annually
at certain assumed rates, make adequate provision according to
presently accepted actuarial standards of practice, for the
anticipated cash flows required by the contractual obligations and
related expenses of Golden American.
COMPETITION. Golden American is engaged in a business that is
highly competitive because of the large number of stock and mutual
life insurance companies and other entities marketing insurance
products comparable to those of Golden American. There are
approximately 2,350 stock, mutual and other types of insurers in
the life insurance business in the United States, a substantial
number of which are significantly larger than Golden American.
SERVICE AGREEMENTS. Beginning in 1994 and continuing until August
13, 1996, 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) 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 were reimbursed by Golden
American on an allocated cost basis. Charges billed to Golden American by
Bankers Trust (Delaware) pursuant to the service agreement for 1996 through
its termination as of August 13, 1996 were $0.5 million.
Pursuant to a service agreement between Golden American and Equitable
Life, Equitable Life provides certain administrative, financial and
other services to Golden American. Equitable Life billed Golden
59
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
American and its subsidiary First Golden American Life Insurance
Company of New York ("First Golden"), $0.9 million, $1.1 million,
and $29,000 for the first nine months of 1999 and the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, under this service
agreement.
Golden American provides to DSI certain of its personnel to perform
management, administrative and clerical services and the use of
certain facilities. Golden American charges 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. 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 $6.8 million,
$4.8 million, $2.8 million and $2.3 million for the first nine months
of 1999, and the years of 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Since January 1, 1998, Golden American and First Golden have had an
asset management agreement with ING Investment Management LLC ("ING
IM"), an affiliate, in which ING IM provides asset management and
accounting services for a fee, payable quarterly. For the first nine
months of 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998, Golden
American and First Golden incurred fees of $1.6 million and $1.5 million,
respectively, under this agreement. Prior to 1998, Golden American and
First Golden had a service agreement with Equitable Investment Services,
Inc. ("EISI"), an affiliate, in which EISI provided investment
management services. Golden American and First Golden paid fees of
$1.0 million for 1997 and $72,000 for the period from August 14,
1996 through December 31, 1996, respectively.
Since 1997, Golden American has provided certain advisory, computer
and other resources and services to Equitable Life. Revenues for these
services totaled $0.9 million for the first nine months of 1999,
$5.8 million for 1998 and $4.3 million for 1997.
The Companies provide resources and services to DSI. Revenues for
these services totaled $0.8 million for the first nine months of 1999.
Golden American provides resources and services to ING Mutual Funds
Management Co., LLC, an affiliate. Revenues for these services
totaled $0.4 million for the first nine months of 1999 and $2.1
million for 1998.
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT. Under a distribution agreement, 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 September 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998, are sold primarily through two
broker/dealer institutions. For the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and the years 1998, 1997 and 1996, commissions paid by Golden
American to DSI (including commissions paid by First Golden)
aggregated $130.4 million, $117.5 million, $36.4 million and $27.1
million, respectively.
EMPLOYEES. Golden American, as a result of its Service Agreement
with Bankers Trust (Delaware) and EIC Variable, had very few
direct employees. Instead, various management services were
provided by Bankers Trust (Delaware), EIC Variable and Bankers
Trust New York Corporation, as described above under "Service
Agreement." The cost of these services were allocated to Golden
American. Since August 14, 1996, Golden American has hired
individuals to perform various management services and has looked
to Equitable of Iowa and its affiliates for certain other
management services.
Certain officers of Golden American are also officers of DSI, and
their salaries are allocated among both companies. Certain
officers of Golden American are also officers of other Equitable
of Iowa subsidiaries. See "Directors and Executive Officers."
PROPERTIES. Golden American's principal office is located at 1475
Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380, where all of
Golden American's records are maintained. This office space is
leased.
STATE REGULATION. Golden American is subject to the laws of the
State of Delaware governing insurance companies and to the
regulations of the Delaware Insurance Department (the "Insurance
Department"). A detailed financial statement in the prescribed
form (the "Annual Statement") is filed with the Insurance
Department each year covering Golden American's operations for the
preceding year and its financial condition as of the end of that
year. Regulation by the Insurance Department includes periodic
examination to determine contract liabilities and reserves so that
the Insurance Department may certify
60
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
that these items are correct. Golden American's books and accounts are
subject to review by the Insurance Department at all times. A full
examination of Golden American's operations is conducted periodically
by the Insurance Department and under the auspices of the NAIC.
In addition, Golden American is subject to regulation under the
insurance laws of all jurisdictions in which it operates. The
laws of the various jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies
with broad administrative powers with respect to various matters,
including licensing to transact business, overseeing trade
practices, licensing agents, approving contract forms,
establishing reserve requirements, fixing maximum interest rates
on life insurance contract loans and minimum rates for
accumulation of surrender values, prescribing the form and content
of required financial statements and regulating the type and
amounts of investments permitted. Golden American is required to
file the Annual Statement with supervisory agencies in each of the
jurisdictions in which it does business, and its operations and
accounts are subject to examination by these agencies at regular
intervals.
The NAIC has adopted several regulatory initiatives designed to
improve the surveillance and financial analysis regarding the
solvency of insurance companies in general. These initiatives
include the development and implementation of a risk-based capital
formula for determining adequate levels of capital and surplus.
Insurance companies are required to calculate their risk-based
capital in accordance with this formula and to include the results
in their Annual Statement. It is anticipated that these standards
will have no significant effect upon Golden American. For
additional information about the Risk-Based Capital adequacy
monitoring system and Golden American, see "Management's
Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations"
In addition, many states regulate affiliated groups of insurers,
such as Golden American, and its affiliates, under insurance
holding company legislation. Under such laws, inter-company
transfers of assets and dividend payments from insurance
subsidiaries may be subject to prior notice or approval, depending
on the size of the transfers and payments in relation to the
financial positions of the companies involved.
Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing
business therein can be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for
contract owner losses incurred by other insurance companies which
have become insolvent. Most of these laws provide that an
assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an
insurer's own financial strength. For information regarding
Golden American's estimated liability for future guaranty fund
assessments, see Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Although the federal government generally does not directly
regulate the business of insurance, federal initiatives often have
an impact on the business in a variety of ways. Certain insurance
products of Golden American are subject to various federal
securities laws and regulations. In addition, current and
proposed federal measures which may significantly affect the
insurance business include regulation of insurance company
solvency, employee benefit regulation, removal of barriers
preventing banks from engaging in the insurance business, tax law
changes affecting the taxation of insurance companies and the tax
treatment of insurance products and its impact on the relative
desirability of various personal investment vehicles.

GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
September 30, 1999
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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, the financial
statements 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1999. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in
the Golden American Life Insurance Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
CONSOLIDATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include Golden American
Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York
("First Golden," and with Golden American, collectively, the
"Companies"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
ORGANIZATION
Golden American is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa
Companies, Inc. ("EIC" or the "Parent"). On October 24, 1997, PFHI
Holdings, Inc. ("PFHI"), a Delaware corporation, acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable")
according to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 7,
1997 among Equitable, PFHI, and ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). PFHI is a wholly
owned subsidiary of ING, a global financial services holding company
based in The Netherlands. As a result of this transaction, Equitable was
merged into PFHI, which was simultaneously renamed Equitable of Iowa
Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
FAIR VALUES
Estimated fair values of publicly traded fixed maturities for 1999 are as
reported by an independent pricing service.
STATUTORY
Net loss for Golden American as determined in accordance with statutory
accounting practices was $75,508,000 and $32,198,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Total statutory capital
and surplus was $285,674,000 at September 30, 1999 and $183,045,000 at
December 31, 1998.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 1999
financial statement presentation.
2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of January 1, 1998, the Companies adopted the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this
statement had no impact on the Companies' net income or stockholder's
equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the

2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (continued)
Companies' available for sale securities (net of adjustments for value of
purchased insurance in force ("VPIF"), deferred policy acquisition costs
("DPAC"), and deferred income taxes) to be included in other
comprehensive income.
During the third quarter and first nine months of 1999, other
comprehensive income (loss) for the Companies amounted to $2,059,000 and
$(18,000), respectively ($2,426,000 and $5,478,000, respectively, for the
same periods of 1998). Included in these amounts are other comprehensive
income (loss) for First Golden of $(14,000) and $(258,000) for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1999, respectively ($601,000 and
$1,174,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1998). Other
comprehensive income (loss) excludes net investment gains (losses)
included in net income which merely represent transfers from unrealized
to realized gains and losses. These amounts totaled $(460,000) and
$(2,512,000) during the third quarter and first nine months of 1999,
respectively ($263,000 and $388,000, respectively, for the same periods
of 1998). Such amounts, which have been measured through the date of
sale, are net of income taxes and adjustments for VPIF and DPAC totaling
$(38,000) and $297,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of
1999, respectively ($40,000 and $48,000, respectively, for the same
periods of 1998).
3. INVESTMENTS
INVESTMENT VALUATION ANALYSIS: The Companies analyze the investment
portfolio at least quarterly in order to determine if the carrying value
of any investment has been impaired. The carrying value of debt and
equity securities is written down to fair value by a charge to realized
losses when an impairment in value appears to be other than temporary.
During the fourth quarter of 1998, Golden American determined that the
carrying value of two bonds exceeded their estimated net realizable
value. As a result, at December 31, 1998, Golden American recognized a
total pre-tax loss of $973,000 to reduce the carrying value of the bonds
to their combined net realizable value of $2,919,000. During the second
quarter of 1999, further information was received regarding these bonds
and Golden American determined that the carrying value of the two bonds
exceeded their estimated net realizable value. As a result, at June 30,
1999, Golden American recognized a total pre-tax loss of $1,639,000 to
further reduce the carrying value of the bonds to their combined net
realizable value of $1,137,000.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
OPERATING AGREEMENTS: Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), an affiliate,
acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of
1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and distributor
of the variable insurance products issued by the Companies. DSI is
authorized to enter into agreements with broker/dealers to distribute the
Companies' variable insurance products and appoint representatives of the
broker/dealers as agents. The Companies paid commissions and expenses to
DSI totaling $50,131,000 in the third quarter and $130,419,000 for the
first nine months of 1999 ($32,104,000 and $82,548,000, respectively, for
the same periods of 1998).
Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory services to
DSI. The fee paid by DSI for these services is calculated as a
percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts. For the
third quarter and first nine months of 1999, the fee was $2,659,000 and
$6,755,000, respectively ($1,234,000 and $3,257,000, respectively, for
the same periods of 1998).
The Companies have an asset management agreement with ING Investment
Management LLC ("ING IM"), an affiliate, in which ING IM provides asset
management and accounting services. Under the agreement, the Companies
record a fee based on the value of the assets under management. The fee
is payable quarterly. For the third quarter and first nine months of
1999, the Companies incurred fees of $523,000 and
71

respectively, for the same periods of 1998).
Golden American has a guaranty agreement with Equitable Life Insurance
Company of Iowa ("Equitable Life"), an affiliate. In consideration of an
annual fee, payable June 30, Equitable Life guarantees to Golden American
that it will make funds available, if needed, to Golden American to pay
the contractual claims made under the provisions of Golden American's
life insurance and annuity contracts. The agreement is not, and nothing
contained therein or done pursuant thereto by Equitable Life shall be
deemed to constitute, a direct or indirect guaranty by Equitable Life of
the payment of any debt or other obligation, indebtedness or liability,
of any kind or character whatsoever, of Golden American. The agreement
does not guarantee the value of the underlying assets held in separate
accounts in which funds of variable life insurance and variable annuity
policies have been invested. The calculation of the annual fee is based
on risk based capital. As Golden American's risk based capital level was
above required amounts, no annual fee was payable at June 30, 1999 or
1998.
Golden American provides certain advisory, computer and other resources
and services to Equitable Life. Revenues for these services, which
reduce general expenses incurred by Golden American, totaled $237,000 in
the third quarter of 1999 and $898,000 for the first nine months of 1999
($1,524,000 and $5,091,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1998).
The Companies have a service agreement with Equitable Life in which
Equitable Life provides administrative and financial related services.
Under this agreement, the Companies incurred expenses of $50,000 in the
third quarter of 1999 and $855,000 for the first nine months of 1999
($261,000 and $575,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1998).
The Companies provide resources and services to DSI. Revenues for these
services, which reduce general expenses incurred by the Companies,
totaled $276,000 in the third quarter of 1999 and $759,000 for the first
nine months of 1999 ($19,000 and $57,000, respectively, for the same
periods of 1998).
Golden American provides resources and services to ING Mutual Funds
Management Co., LLC, an affiliate. Revenues for these services, which
reduce general expenses incurred by Golden American, totaled $159,000 in
the third quarter of 1999 and $376,000 for the first nine months of
1999.
For the third quarter of 1999, the Companies received 7.8% of total
premiums (9.7% in the same period of 1998), net of reinsurance, for
variable products sold through four affiliates, Locust Street Securities,
Inc. ("LSSI"), Vestax Securities Corporation ("Vestax"), DSI, and Multi-
Financial Securities Corporation ("Multi-Financial") of $46,600,000,
$12,900,000, $0, and $11,000,000, respectively ($34,600,000, $14,200,000,
$1,800,000, and $4,100,000, respectively, for the same period of 1998).

$10,700,000, and $10,000,000, respectively, for the same period of 1998).
RECIPROCAL LOAN AGREEMENT: Golden American maintains a reciprocal loan
agreement with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH"), a
Delaware corporation and affiliate, to facilitate the handling of unusual
and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Under this agreement,
which became effective January 1, 1998 and expires December 31, 2007,
Golden American and ING AIH can borrow up to $65,000,000 from one
another. Prior to lending funds to ING AIH, Golden American must obtain

$72,500,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1998).
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
REINSURANCE: At September 30, 1999, Golden American had reinsurance
treaties with four unaffiliated reinsurers and one affiliated reinsurer
covering a significant portion of the mortality risks under its variable
contracts. Golden American remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do
not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. At September
30, 1999 and 1998, the Companies had a net receivable of $14,041,000 and
$6,539,000, respectively, for reserve credits, reinsurance claims, or
other receivables from these reinsurers comprised of $2,268,000 and
$257,000, respectively, for claims recoverable from reinsurers, $918,000
and $451,000, respectively, for a payable for reinsurance premiums and
$12,691,000 and $6,733,000, respectively, for a receivable from an
unaffiliated reinsurer. Included in the accompanying financial
statements are net considerations to reinsurers of $2,638,000 in the
third quarter of 1999 and $6,656,000 for the first nine months of 1999
compared to $1,293,000 and $3,259,000, respectively, for the same periods
in 1998. Also included in the accompanying financial statements are net
policy benefits of

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
$2,569,000 in the third quarter of 1999 and $4,008,000 for the first
nine months of 1999 compared to $1,272,000 and $2,096,000, respectively,
for the same periods in 1998.
Effective June 1, 1994, Golden American entered into a modified
coinsurance agreement with an unaffiliated reinsurer. The accompanying
financial statements are presented net of the effects of the treaty.
GUARANTY FUND ASSESSMENTS: Assessments are levied on the Companies by
life and health guaranty associations in most states in which the
Companies are licensed to cover losses of policyholders of insolvent or
rehabilitated insurers. In some states, these assessments can be
partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes. The
Companies cannot predict whether and to what extent legislative
initiatives may affect the right to offset. The associated cost for a
particular insurance company can vary significantly based upon its fixed
account premium volume by line of business and state premiums as well as
its potential for premium tax offset. The Companies have established an
undiscounted reserve to cover such assessments, review information
regarding known failures, and revise estimates of future guaranty fund
assessments. Accordingly, the Companies accrued and charged to expense
an additional $208,000 and $598,000 in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1998, respectively. At September 30, 1999, the Companies have
an undiscounted reserve of $2,444,000 to cover estimated future
assessments (net of related anticipated premium tax credits) and have
established an asset totaling $586,000 for assessments paid which may be
recoverable through future premium tax offsets. The Companies believe
this reserve is sufficient to cover expected future guaranty fund
assessments based upon previous premiums and known insolvencies at this
time.
LITIGATION: The Companies, like other insurance companies, may be named
or otherwise involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits and
arbitrations. In some class action and other actions involving insurers,
substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement or award
payments have been made. The Companies currently believe no pending or
threatened lawsuits or actions exist that are reasonably likely to have a
material adverse impact on the Companies.
VULNERABILITY FROM CONCENTRATIONS: The Companies have various
concentrations in the investment portfolio. The Companies' asset growth,
net investment income, and cash flow are primarily generated from the
sale of variable products and associated future policy benefits and
separate account liabilities. Substantial changes in tax laws that would
make these products less attractive to consumers and extreme fluctuations
in interest rates or stock market returns, which may result in higher
lapse experience than assumed, could cause a severe impact on the
Companies' financial condition. Two broker/dealers, each having at least
ten percent of total sales, generated 29% of the Companies' sales during
the first nine months of 1999 (10% by one broker/dealer in the same
period of 1998). The Premium Plus variable annuity product generated 78%
of the Companies' sales during the first nine months of 1999 (59% in the
same period of 1998).
REVOLVING NOTE PAYABLE: To enhance short-term liquidity, the Companies
established a revolving note payable effective July 27, 1998 and expiring
July 31, 1999 with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta (the "Bank"). The note was
approved by the Boards of Directors of Golden American and First Golden
on August 5, 1998 and September 29, 1998, respectively. As of July 31,
1999, the SunTrust Bank, Atlanta revolving note facility was extended to
July 31, 2000. The total amount the Companies may have outstanding is
$85,000,000, of which Golden American and First Golden have individual
credit sublimits of $75,000,000 and $10,000,000, respectively. The note
accrues interest at an annual rate equal to: (1) the cost of funds for
the Bank for the period applicable for the advance plus 0.25% or (2) a
rate quoted by the Bank to the Companies for the advance. The terms of
the agreement require the Companies to maintain the minimum level of
Company Action Level Risk Based Capital as established by applicable
state law or regulation. During the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Companies paid interest expense of $55,000 and
$109,000, respectively ($6,000 for the same periods of 1998). At
September 30, 1999, the Companies did not have any borrowings under this
agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Golden American Life Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Golden American Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and for the periods from October 25, 1997
through December 31, 1997, January 1, 1997 through October 24,
1997, August 14, 1996 through December 31, 1996 and January 1,
1996 through August 13, 1996. These financials are the
responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Golden American Life Insurance Company at December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the
periods from October 25, 1997 through December 31, 1997, January
1, 1997 through October 24, 1997, August 14, 1996 through December
31, 1996 and January 1, 1996 through August 13, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1998
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include Golden American Life
Insurance Company ("Golden American") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New
York ("First Golden," and with Golden American, collectively, the
"Companies"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
ORGANIZATION
Golden American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa
Companies, Inc., offers variable insurance products and is
licensed as a life insurance company in the District of Columbia
and all states except New York. On January 2, 1997 and December
23, 1997, First Golden became licensed to sell insurance products
in New York and Delaware, respectively. The Companies' products
are marketed by broker/dealers, financial institutions and
insurance agents. The Companies' primary customers are consumers
and corporations.
On October 24, 1997, PFHI Holding, Inc. ("PFHI"), a Delaware
corporation, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable") according to the terms
of an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") dated July
7, 1997 among Equitable, PFHI and ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). PFHI is
a wholly owned subsidiary of ING, a global financial services
holding company based in The Netherlands. As a result of this
transaction, Equitable was merged into PFHI, which was
simultaneously renamed Equitable of Iowa Companies, Inc. ("EIC" or
the "Parent"), a Delaware corporation. See Note 6 for additional
information regarding the merger.
On August 13, 1996, Equitable acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of BT Variable, Inc. (subsequently known as EIC
Variable, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Golden American
and Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI") from Whitewood Properties
Corporation ("Whitewood"). See Note 7 for additional information
regarding the acquisition.
For financial statement purposes, the ING merger was accounted for
as a purchase effective October 25, 1997 and the change in control
of Golden American through the acquisition of BT Variable, Inc.
was accounted for as a purchase effective August 14, 1996. The
merger and acquisition resulted in new bases of accounting
reflecting estimated fair values of assets and liabilities at
their respective dates. As a result, the Companies' financial
statements for the periods after October 24, 1997 are presented on
the Post-Merger new basis of accounting, for the period August 14,
1996 through October 24, 1997 are presented on the Post-
Acquisition basis of accounting, and for August 13, 1996 and prior
periods are presented on the Pre-Acquisition basis of accounting.
INVESTMENTS
Fixed Maturities: The Companies account for their investments
under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," which requires fixed maturities to be designated as
either "available for sale," "held for investment" or "trading."
Sales of fixed maturities designated as "available for sale" are
not restricted by SFAS No. 115. Available for sale securities are
reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses on these
securities are included directly in stockholder's equity, after
adjustment for related changes in value

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
of purchased insurance in force ("VPIF"), deferred policy acquisition
costs ("DPAC") and deferred income taxes. At December 31, 1998 and 1997,
all of the Companies' fixed maturities are designated as available
for sale, although the Companies are not precluded from designating
fixed maturities as held for investment or trading at some future date.
Securities determined to have a decline in value that is other
than temporary are written down to estimated fair value, which
becomes the new cost basis by a charge to realized losses in the
Companies' Statements of Operations. Premiums and discounts are
amortized/accrued utilizing a method which results in a constant
yield over the securities' expected lives. Amortization/accrual of
premiums and discounts on mortgage and other asset-backed
securities incorporates a prepayment assumption to estimate the
securities' expected lives.
Equity Securities: Equity securities are reported at estimated
fair value if readily marketable. The change in unrealized
appreciation and depreciation of marketable equity securities (net
of related deferred income taxes, if any) is included directly in
stockholder's equity. Equity securities determined to have a
decline in value that is other than temporary are written down to
estimated fair value, which then becomes the new cost basis by a
charge to realized losses in the Companies' Statements of
Operations.
Mortgage Loans: Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at cost
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts. If
the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e.,
when it is probable the Companies will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to
the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or to the loan's
observable market price, or the fair value of the underlying
collateral. The carrying value of impaired loans is reduced by the
establishment of a valuation allowance which is adjusted at each
reporting date for significant changes in the calculated value of
the loan. Changes in this valuation allowance are charged or
credited to income.
Other Investments: Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal.
Short-term investments are reported at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts.
Realized Gains and Losses: Realized gains and losses are
determined on the basis of specific identification and average
cost methods for manager initiated and issuer initiated disposals,
respectively.
Fair Values: Estimated fair values, as reported herein, of
conventional mortgage-backed securities not actively traded in a
liquid market and publicly traded fixed maturities are estimated
using a third party pricing system. This pricing system uses a
matrix calculation assuming a spread over U.S. Treasury bonds
based upon the expected average lives of the securities. Fair
values of private placement bonds are estimated using a matrix
that assumes a spread (based on interest rates and a risk
assessment of the bonds) over U.S. Treasury bonds. Estimated fair
values of equity securities which consist of the Companies'
investment in its registered separate accounts are based upon the
quoted fair value of the securities comprising the individual
portfolios underlying the separate accounts.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the accompanying Statements of Cash Flows, the
Companies consider 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.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Certain costs of acquiring new insurance business, principally
first year commissions and interest bonuses, extra credit bonuses
and other expenses related to the production of new business, have
been deferred. Acquisition costs for variable annuity and variable
life products are being amortized generally in proportion to the
present value (using the assumed crediting rate) of expected
future gross profits. This amortization is adjusted
retrospectively when the Companies revise their estimate of
current or future gross profits to be realized from a group of
products. DPAC is adjusted to reflect the pro forma impact of
unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities the Companies have
designated as "available for sale" under SFAS No. 115.
VALUE OF PURCHASED INSURANCE IN FORCE
As a result of the merger and the acquisition, a portion of the
purchase price related to each transaction was allocated to the
right to receive future cash flows from existing insurance
contracts. This allocated cost represents VPIF which reflects the
value of those purchased policies calculated by discounting
actuarially determined expected future cash flows at the discount
rate determined by the purchaser. Amortization of VPIF is charged
to expense in proportion to expected gross profits of the
underlying business. This amortization is adjusted retrospectively
when the Companies revise the estimate of current or future gross
profits to be realized from the insurance contracts acquired. VPIF
is adjusted to reflect the pro forma impact of unrealized gains
and losses on available for sale fixed maturities. See Notes 6 and
7 for additional information on VPIF resulting from the merger and
acquisition.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment primarily represent leasehold improvements,
office furniture, certain other equipment and capitalized computer
software and are not considered to be significant to the
Companies' overall operations. Property and equipment are reported
at cost less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation expense is
computed primarily on the basis of the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets.
GOODWILL
Goodwill was established as a result of the merger and is being
amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis. Goodwill
established as a result of the acquisition was being amortized
over 25 years on a straight-line basis. See Notes 6 and 7 for
additional information on the merger and acquisition.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Future policy benefits for divisions with fixed interest
guarantees of the variable products are established utilizing the
retrospective deposit accounting method. Policy reserves represent
the premiums received plus accumulated interest, less mortality
and administration charges. Interest credited to these policies
ranged from 3.00% to 10.00% during 1998, 3.30% to 8.25% during
1997 and 4.00% to 7.25% during 1996. The unearned revenue reserve
represents unearned distribution fees. These distribution fees
have been deferred and are amortized over the life of the
contracts in proportion to expected gross profits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1998
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Assets and liabilities of the separate accounts reported in the
accompanying Balance Sheets represent funds separately
administered principally for variable annuity and variable life
contracts. Contractholders, rather than the Companies, bear the
investment risk for the variable products. At the direction of the
contractholders, the separate accounts invest the premiums from
the sale of variable products in shares of specified mutual funds.
The assets and liabilities of the separate accounts are clearly
identified and segregated from other assets and liabilities of the
Companies. The portion of the separate account assets equal to the
reserves and other liabilities of variable annuity and variable
life contracts cannot be charged with liabilities arising out of
any other business the Companies may conduct.
Variable separate account assets are carried at fair value of the
underlying investments and generally represent contractholder
investment values maintained in the accounts. Variable separate
account liabilities represent account balances for the variable
annuity and variable life contracts invested in the separate
accounts; the fair value of these liabilities is equal to their
carrying amount. 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.
Product charges recorded by the Companies from variable products
consist of charges applicable to each contract for mortality and
expense risk, cost of insurance, contract administration and
surrender charges. In addition, some variable annuity and all
variable life contracts provide for a distribution fee collected
for a limited number of years after each premium deposit. Revenue
recognition of collected distribution fees is amortized over the
life of the contract in proportion to its expected gross profits.
The balance of unrecognized revenue related to the distribution
fees is reported as an unearned revenue reserve.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the
difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of
assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect the pro
forma impact of unrealized gains and losses on equity securities
and fixed maturities the Companies have designated as available
for sale under SFAS No. 115. Changes in deferred tax assets or
liabilities resulting from this SFAS No. 115 adjustment are
charged or credited directly to stockholder's equity. Deferred
income tax expenses or credits reflected in the Companies'
Statements of Operations are based on the changes in the deferred
tax asset or liability from period to period (excluding the SFAS
No. 115 adjustment).
DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
Golden American's ability to pay dividends to its Parent is
restricted. Prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities is
required for payment of dividends to the stockholder which exceed
an annual limit. During 1999, Golden American cannot pay dividends
to its Parent without prior approval of statutory authorities.
Under the provisions of the insurance laws of the State of New
York, First Golden cannot distribute any dividends to its
stockholder unless a notice of its intent to declare a dividend
and the amount of the dividend has been filed at least thirty days
in advance of the proposed declaration. If the Superintendent
finds the financial condition of First Golden does not warrant the
distribution, the Superintendent may disapprove the distribution
by giving written notice to First Golden within thirty days after
the filing.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SEGMENT REPORTING
As of December 31, 1998, the Companies adopted the SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS No. 131 superseded SFAS No. 14, "Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for the way public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires enterprises to report selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No.
131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
The Companies manage their business as one segment, the sale of
variable products designed to meet customer needs for tax-
advantaged methods of saving for retirement and protection from
unexpected death. Variable products are sold to consumers and
corporations throughout the United States. The adoption of SFAS
No. 131 did not affect the results of operations or financial
position of the Companies.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Management is required to utilize historical experience and
assumptions about future events and circumstances in order to
develop estimates of material reported amounts and disclosures.
Included among the material (or potentially material) reported
amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates
and assumptions are (1) estimates of fair values of investments in
securities and other financial instruments, as well as fair values
of policyholder liabilities, (2) policyholder liabilities, (3)
deferred policy acquisition costs and value of purchased insurance
in force, (4) fair values of assets and liabilities recorded as a
result of merger and acquisition transactions, (5) asset valuation
allowances, (6) guaranty fund assessment accruals, (7) deferred
tax benefits (liabilities) and (8) estimates for commitments and
contingencies including legal matters, if a liability is
anticipated and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates and
assumptions regarding all of the proceeding are inherently subject
to change and are reassessed periodically. Changes in estimates
and assumptions could materially impact the financial statements.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the financial statements for the periods ended
within the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 have been
reclassified to conform to the December 31, 1998 financial
statement presentation.
2. BASIS OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
The financial statements of the Companies differ from related
statutory-basis financial statements principally as follows: (1)
acquisition costs of acquiring new business are deferred and
amortized over the life of the policies rather than charged to
operations as incurred; (2) an asset representing the present
value of future cash flows from insurance contracts acquired was
established as a result of the merger/acquisition and is amortized
and charged to expense; (3) future policy benefit reserves for
divisions with fixed interest guarantees of the variable products
are based on full account values, rather than the greater of cash
surrender value or amounts derived from discounting methodologies
utilizing statutory interest rates; (4) reserves are reported
before reduction for reserve credits related to
86
<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1998
2. BASIS OF FINANCIAL REPORTING (continued)
reinsurance ceded and a receivable is established, net of an allowance
for uncollectible amounts, for these credits rather than presented net
of these credits; (5) fixed maturity investments are designated as
"available for sale" and valued at fair value with unrealized
appreciation/depreciation, net of adjustments to value of
purchased insurance in force, deferred policy acquisition costs
and deferred income taxes (if applicable), credited/charged
directly to stockholder's equity rather than valued at amortized
cost; (6) the carrying value of fixed maturities is reduced to
fair value by a charge to realized losses in the Statements of
Operations when declines in carrying value are judged to be other
than temporary, rather than through the establishment of a formula-
determined statutory investment reserve (carried as a liability),
changes in which are charged directly to surplus; (7) deferred
income taxes are provided for the difference between the financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities; (8) net
realized gains or losses attributed to changes in the level of
interest rates in the market are recognized when the sale is
completed rather than deferred and amortized over the remaining
life of the fixed maturity security; (9) a liability is
established for anticipated guaranty fund assessments, net of
related anticipated premium tax credits, rather than capitalized
when assessed and amortized in accordance with procedures
permitted by insurance regulatory authorities; (10) revenues for
variable products consist of policy charges applicable to each
contract for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges,
amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender charges
assessed rather than premiums received; (11) the financial
statements of Golden American's wholly owned subsidiary are
consolidated rather than recorded at the equity in net assets;
(12) surplus notes are reported as liabilities rather than as
surplus; and (13) assets and liabilities are restated to fair
values when a change in ownership occurs, with provisions for
goodwill and other intangible assets, rather than continuing to be
presented at historical cost.
The net loss for Golden American as determined in accordance with
statutory accounting practices was $68,002,000 in 1998, $428,000
in 1997 and $9,188,000 in 1996. Total statutory capital and
surplus was $183,045,000 at December 31, 1998 and $76,914,000 at
December 31, 1997.

Investment Valuation Analysis: The Companies analyze the
investment portfolio at least quarterly in order to determine if
the carrying value of any investment has been impaired. The
carrying value of debt and equity securities is written down to
fair value by a charge to realized losses when an impairment in
value appears to be other than temporary. During the year ended
December 31, 1998, Golden American recognized a loss on two fixed
maturity investments of $973,000. During 1997 and 1996, no
investments were identified as having an other than temporary
impairment.
Investments on Deposit: At December 31, 1998 and 1997, affidavits
of deposits covering bonds with a par value of $6,470,000 and
$6,605,000, respectively, were on deposit with regulatory
authorities pursuant to certain statutory requirements.
Investment Diversifications: The Companies' investment policies
related to the investment portfolio require diversification by
asset type, company and industry and set limits on the amount
which can be invested in an individual issuer. Such policies are
at least as restrictive as those set forth by regulatory
authorities. The following percentages relate to holdings at
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997. Fixed maturities included
investments in basic industrials (26% in 1998, 30% in 1997),
conventional mortgage-backed securities (25% in 1998, 13% in
1997), financial companies (19% in 1998, 24% in 1997), other asset-
backed securities (11% in 1998) and various government bonds and
government or agency mortgage-backed securities (5% in 1998, 17%
in 1997). Mortgage loans on real estate have been analyzed

3. INVESTMENT OPERATIONS (continued)
by geographical location with concentrations by state identified as
California (12% in 1998 and 1997), Utah (11% in 1998, 13% in 1997)
and Georgia (10% in 1998, 11% in 1997). There are no other
concentrations of mortgage loans in any state exceeding ten
percent at December 31, 1998 and 1997. Mortgage loans on real
estate have also been analyzed by collateral type with significant
concentrations identified in office buildings (36% in 1998, 43% in
1997), industrial buildings (32% in 1998, 33% in 1997) and retail
facilities (20% in 1998, 15% in 1997). Equity securities are not
significant to the Companies' overall investment portfolio.
No investment in any person or its affiliates (other than bonds
issued by agencies of the United States government) exceeded ten
percent of stockholder's equity at December 31, 1998.
4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of January 1, 1998, the Companies adopted the SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes new
rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components; however, the adoption of this statement had no
impact on the Companies' net income or stockholder's equity. SFAS
No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Companies'
available for sale securities (net of VPIF, DPAC and deferred
income taxes) to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior
to the adoption of SFAS No. 130, unrealized gains (losses) were
reported separately in stockholder's equity. Prior year financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements
of SFAS No. 130.
Total comprehensive income (loss) for the Companies includes
$1,015,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 for First Golden
($159,000, $536,000 and $(57,000), respectively, for the periods
October 25, 1997 through December 31, 1997, January 1, 1997
through October 24, 1997 and December 17, 1996 through December
31, 1996). Other comprehensive income excludes net investment
gains (losses) included in net income which merely represent
transfers from unrealized to realized gains and losses. These
amounts total $(2,133,000) in 1998. Such amounts, which have been
measured through the date of sale, are net of income taxes and
adjustments to VPIF and DPAC totaling $705,000 in 1998.
5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires disclosure of estimated fair value of all
financial instruments, including both assets and liabilities
recognized and not recognized in a company's balance sheet, unless
specifically exempted. SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure about Derivative
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires additional disclosures about derivative financial
instruments. Most of the Companies' investments, investment
contracts and debt fall within the standards' definition of a
financial instrument. Fair values for the Companies' insurance
contracts other than investment contracts are not required to be
disclosed. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
estimated fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows. Accounting, actuarial and
regulatory bodies are continuing to study the methodologies to be
used in developing fair value information, particularly as it
relates to such things as liabilities for insurance contracts.
Accordingly, care should be exercised in deriving conclusions
about the Companies' business or financial condition based on the
information presented herein.
The Companies closely monitor the composition and yield of
invested assets, the duration and interest credited on insurance
liabilities and resulting interest spreads and timing of cash
flows. These amounts

5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
are taken into consideration in the Companies' overall management
of interest rate risk, which attempts to minimize exposure to changing
interest rates through the matching of investment cash flows with amounts
expected to be due under insurance contracts. These assumptions may not
result in values consistent with those obtained through an actuarial
appraisal of the Companies' business or values that might arise in
a negotiated transaction.
The following compares carrying values as shown for financial
reporting purposes with estimated fair values:

</TABLE>
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Companies
in estimating fair values.
Fixed Maturities: Estimated fair values of conventional mortgage-
backed securities not actively traded in a liquid market and
publicly traded securities are estimated using a third party
pricing system. This pricing system uses a matrix calculation
assuming a spread over U.S. Treasury bonds based upon the expected
average lives of the securities.
Equity Securities: Estimated fair values of equity securities,
which consist of the Companies' investment in the portfolios
underlying its separate accounts, are based upon the quoted fair
value of individual securities comprising the individual
portfolios. For equity securities not actively traded, estimated
fair values are based upon values of issues of comparable returns
and quality.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: Fair values are estimated by
discounting expected cash flows, using interest rates currently
offered for similar loans.
Policy Loans: Carrying values approximate the estimated fair value
for policy loans.

5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Short-Term Investments and Cash and Cash Equivalents: Carrying
values reported in the Companies' historical cost basis balance
sheet approximate estimated fair value for these instruments due
to their short-term nature.
Separate Account Assets: Separate account assets are reported at
the quoted fair values of the individual securities in the
separate accounts.
Annuity Products: Estimated fair values of the Companies'
liabilities for future policy benefits for the divisions of the
variable annuity products with fixed interest guarantees and for
supplemental contracts without life contingencies are stated at
cash surrender value, the cost the Companies would incur to
extinguish the liability.
Surplus Notes: Estimated fair value of the Companies' surplus
notes were based upon discounted future cash flows using a
discount rate approximating the Companies' return on invested
assets.
Line Of Credit With Affiliate: Carrying value reported in the
Companies' historical cost basis balance sheet approximates
estimated fair value for this instrument.
Separate Account Liabilities: Separate account liabilities are
reported at full account value in the Companies' historical cost
balance sheet. Estimated fair values of separate account
liabilities are equal to their carrying amount.
6. MERGER
Transaction: On October 23, 1997, Equitable's shareholders
approved the Merger Agreement dated July 7, 1997 among Equitable,
PFHI and ING. On October 24, 1997, PFHI, a Delaware corporation,
acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Equitable
according to the Merger Agreement. PFHI is a wholly owned
subsidiary of ING, a global financial services holding company
based in The Netherlands. Equitable, an Iowa corporation, in turn,
owned all the outstanding capital stock of Equitable Life
Insurance Company of Iowa ("Equitable Life") and Golden American
and their wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, Equitable owned
all the outstanding capital stock of Locust Street Securities,
Inc. ("LSSI"), Equitable Investment Services, Inc. (subsequently
dissolved), DSI, Equitable of Iowa Companies Capital Trust,
Equitable of Iowa Companies Capital Trust II and Equitable of Iowa
Securities Network, Inc. (subsequently renamed ING Funds
Distributor, Inc.). In exchange for the outstanding capital stock
of Equitable, ING paid total consideration of approximately $2.1
billion in cash and stock and assumed approximately $400 million
in debt. As a result of this transaction, Equitable was merged
into PFHI, which was simultaneously renamed Equitable of Iowa
Companies, Inc. ("EIC" or the "Parent"), a Delaware corporation.
All costs of the merger, including expenses to terminate certain
benefit plans, were paid by the Parent.
Accounting Treatment: The merger was accounted for as a purchase
resulting in a new basis of accounting, reflecting estimated fair
values for assets and liabilities at October 24, 1997. The
purchase price was allocated to EIC and its subsidiaries with
$227,497,000 allocated to the Companies. Goodwill was established
for the excess of the merger cost over the fair value of the net
assets and attributed to EIC and its subsidiaries including Golden
American and First Golden. The amount of goodwill allocated to the
Companies relating to the merger was $151,127,000 at the merger
date and is being amortized over 40 years on a straight-line
basis. The carrying value of goodwill will be reviewed
periodically for any indication of impairment in value. The
Companies' DPAC, previous balance of VPIF and unearned revenue
reserve, as of the merger date, were eliminated and a new asset of
$44,297,000 representing VPIF was established for all policies in
force at the merger date.

6. Merger (continued)
Value of Purchased Insurance In Force: As part of the merger, a
portion of the acquisition cost was allocated to the right to
receive future cash flows from insurance contracts existing with
the Companies at the merger date. This allocated cost represents
VPIF reflecting the value of those purchased policies calculated
by discounting the actuarially determined expected future cash
flow at the discount rate determined by ING.
An analysis of the VPIF asset is as follows:

Interest is imputed on the unamortized balance of VPIF at a rate
of 7.38% for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 7.03% for the
period October 25, 1997 through December 31, 1997. The
amortization of VPIF, net of imputed interest, is charged to
expense. VPIF decreased $2,664,000 in the second quarter of 1998
to adjust the value of other receivables at merger date and
increased $219,000 in the first quarter of 1998 as a result of an
adjustment to the merger costs. VPIF is adjusted for the
unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities; such
changes are included directly in stockholder's equity. Based on
current conditions and assumptions as to the impact of future
events on acquired policies in force, the expected approximate net
amortization relating to VPIF as of December 31, 1998 is
$4,300,000 in 1999, $4,000,000 in 2000, $3,900,000 in 2001,
$3,700,000 in 2002 and $3,300,000 in 2003. Actual amortization may
vary based upon changes in assumptions and experience.
7. ACQUISITION
Transaction: On August 13, 1996, Equitable acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of BT Variable from Whitewood, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"),
according to the terms of the Purchase Agreement dated May 3, 1996
between Equitable and Whitewood. 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.
After the acquisition, the BT Variable, Inc. name was changed to EIC
Variable, Inc. On April 30, 1997, EIC Variable, Inc. was liquidated
and its investments in

7. Acquisition (continued)
Golden American and DSI were transferred to Equitable, while the
remainder of its net assets were contributed to Golden American.
On December 30, 1997, EIC Variable, Inc. was dissolved.
Accounting Treatment: The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase resulting in a new basis of accounting, which reflected
estimated fair values for assets and liabilities at August 13,
1996. The purchase price was allocated to the three companies
purchased - BT Variable, DSI and Golden American. The allocation
of the purchase price to Golden American was approximately
$139,872,000. Goodwill was established for the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and
attributed to Golden American. The amount of goodwill relating to
the acquisition was $41,113,000 and was amortized over 25 years on
a straight-line basis until the October 24, 1997 merger with ING.
Golden American's DPAC, previous balance of VPIF and unearned
revenue reserve, as of the acquisition date, were eliminated and
an asset of $85,796,000 representing VPIF was established for all
policies in force at the acquisition date.
Value of Purchased Insurance In Force: As part of the
acquisition, 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 VPIF reflecting the
value of those purchased policies calculated by discounting the
actuarially determined expected future cash flows at the discount
rate determined by Equitable.

Pre-Acquisition VPIF represents the remaining value assigned to in
force contracts when Bankers Trust purchased Golden American from
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company in Rehabilitation ("Mutual
Benefit") on September 30, 1992.
Interest was imputed on the unamortized balance of VPIF at rates
of 7.70% to 7.80% for the period August 14, 1996 through October
24, 1997. The amortization of VPIF net of imputed interest was
charged to expense. VPIF was also adjusted for the unrealized
gains (losses) on available for sale securities; such changes were
included directly in stockholder's equity.

The Companies are required to establish a "valuation allowance"
for any portion of the deferred tax assets management believes
will not be realized. In the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not the Companies will realize the benefit of the
deferred tax assets; therefore, no such valuation allowance has
been established.
9. RETIREMENT PLANS
Defined Benefit Plans: In 1998 and 1997, the Companies were
allocated their share of the pension liability associated with
their employees. The Companies' employees are covered by the
employee retirement plan of an affiliate, Equitable Life. Further,
Equitable Life sponsors a defined contribution plan that is

January 1, 1996 through August 13, 1996).
Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory
services to DSI. The fee paid by DSI for these services is
calculated as a percentage of average assets in the variable
separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 1998 and for

1, 1997 through October 24, 1997, the fee was $4,771,000, $508,000

Effective January 1, 1998, the Companies have an asset management
agreement with ING Investment Management LLC ("ING IM"), an
affiliate, in which ING IM provides asset management services.
Under the agreement, the Companies record a fee based on the value
of the assets under management. The fee is payable quarterly. For

funds available, if needed, to Golden American to pay the
contractual claims made under the provisions of Golden American's
life insurance and annuity contracts. The agreement is not, and
nothing contained therein or done pursuant thereto by Equitable
Life shall be deemed to constitute, a direct or indirect guaranty
by Equitable Life of the payment of any debt or other obligation,
indebtedness or liability, of any kind or character whatsoever, of
Golden American. The agreement does not guarantee the value of the
underlying assets held in separate accounts in which funds of
variable life insurance and variable annuity policies have been
invested. The calculation of the annual fee is based on risk based
capital. As Golden American's risk based capital level was above
required amounts, no annual fee was payable in 1998 or in 1997.
Golden American provides certain advisory, computer and other
resources and services to Equitable Life. Revenues for these
services, which reduced general expenses incurred by Golden
American, totaled $5,833,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998

Contingent Liability: In a transaction that closed on September

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 estimated the
contingent liability due from Golden American amounted to $439,000
at August 13, 1996. At August 13, 1996, the balance of the escrow
account established to fund the contingent liability was
$4,293,000.
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.
Reinsurance: At December 31, 1998, the Companies had reinsurance
treaties with four unaffiliated reinsurers and one affiliated
reinsurer covering a significant portion of the mortality risks
under variable contracts. The Companies remain liable to the
extent reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the
reinsurance agreements. Reinsurance ceded in force for life
mortality risks were $111,552,000 and $96,686,000 at December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1998, the Companies
have a net receivable of $7,470,000 for reserve credits,
reinsurance claims or other receivables from these reinsurers
comprised of $439,000 for claims recoverable from reinsurers,
$543,000 for a payable for reinsurance premiums and $7,574,000 for
a receivable from an unaffiliated reinsurer. Included in the

GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1998
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
Effective June 1, 1994, Golden American entered into a modified
coinsurance agreement with an unaffiliated reinsurer. The
accompanying financial statements are presented net of the effects
of the treaty which increased income by $1,022,000, $265,000,
$335,000, $10,000 and $56,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998
and for the periods October 25, 1997 through December 31, 1997,
January 1, 1997 through October 24, 1997, August 14, 1996 through
December 31, 1996 and January 1, 1996 through August 13, 1996,
respectively.
Guaranty Fund Assessments: Assessments are levied against the
Companies by life and health guaranty associations in most states
in which the Companies are licensed to cover losses of
policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated insurers. In some
states, these assessments can be partially recovered through a
reduction in future premium taxes. The Companies cannot predict
whether and to what extent legislative initiatives may affect the
right to offset. The associated cost for a particular insurance
company can vary significantly based upon its fixed account
premium volume by line of business and state premiums as well as
its potential for premium tax offset. The Companies have
established an undiscounted reserve to cover such assessments and
regularly reviews information regarding known failures and revises
its estimates of future guaranty fund assessments. Accordingly,
the Companies accrued and charged to expense an additional
$1,123,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, $141,000 for the
period October 25, 1997 through December 31, 1997, $446,000 for
the period January 1, 1997 through October 24, 1997, $291,000 for
the period August 14, 1996 through December 31, 1996 and $480,000
for the period January 1, 1996 through August 13, 1996. At
December 31, 1998, the Companies have an undiscounted reserve of
$2,446,000 to cover estimated future assessments (net of related
anticipated premium tax credits) and has established an asset
totaling $586,000 for assessments paid which may be recoverable
through future premium tax offsets. The Companies believe this
reserve is sufficient to cover expected future guaranty fund
assessments, based upon previous premiums, and known insolvencies
at this time.
Litigation: The Companies, like other insurance companies, may be
named or otherwise involved in lawsuits, including class action
lawsuits. In some class action and other lawsuits involving
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material
settlement payments have been made. The Companies currently
believe no pending or threatened lawsuits exist that are
reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the
Companies.
Vulnerability from Concentrations: The Companies have various
concentrations in its investment portfolio (see Note 3 for further
information). The Companies' asset growth, net investment income
and cash flow are primarily generated from the sale of variable
products and associated future policy benefits and separate
account liabilities. Substantial changes in tax laws that would
make these products less attractive to consumers and extreme
fluctuations in interest rates or stock market returns which may
result in higher lapse experience than assumed could cause a
severe impact to the Companies' financial condition. Two
broker/dealers generated 27% of the Companies' sales (53% by two
broker/dealers during 1997).
Leases: The Companies lease their home office space, certain
other equipment and capitalized computer software under operating
leases which expire through 2018. During the year ended December
31, 1998 and for the periods October 25, 1997 through December 31,
1997, January 1, 1997 through October 24, 1997, August 14, 1996
through December 31, 1996 and January 1, 1996 through August 13,
1996, rent expense totaled $1,241,000, $39,000, $331,000, $147,000
and $247,000, respectively. At December 31, 1998, minimum rental
payments due under all non-cancelable operating leases with
initial terms of one

Revolving Note Payable: To enhance short-term liquidity, the
Companies have established a revolving note payable effective July
27, 1998 and expiring July 31, 1999 with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta
(the "Bank"). The note was approved by the Boards of Directors of
Golden American and First Golden on August 5, 1998 and September
29, 1998, respectively. The total amount the Companies may have
outstanding is $85,000,000, of which Golden American and First
Golden have individual credit sublimits of $75,000,000 and
$10,000,000, respectively. The note accrues interest at an annual
rate equal to: (1) the cost of funds for the Bank for the period
applicable for the advance plus 0.25% or (2) a rate quoted by the
Bank to the Companies for the advance. The terms of the agreement
require the Companies to maintain the minimum level of Company
Action Level Risk Based Capital as established by applicable state
law or regulation. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the
Companies incurred interest expense of $352,000. At December 31,
1998, the Companies did not have any borrowings under this
agreement.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE #1: FULL SURRENDER EXAMPLE OF A NEGATIVE MARKET VALUE
ADJUSTMENT
Assume $100,000 was allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation with
a guaranteed interest period of 10 years, a guaranteed interest rate
of 7.5%, an initial Index Rate ("I") of 7%; that a full surrender is
requested 3 years into the guaranteed interest period; that the then
Index Rate for a 7 year guaranteed interest period ("J") is 8%; and
that no prior transfers or withdrawals affecting this Fixed Interest
Allocation have been made.
CALCULATE THE MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
1. The contract value of the Fixed Interest Allocation on the date of
surrender is $124,230
( $100,000 X 1.075 ^ 3 )
2. N = 2,555 ( 365 X 7 )
3. Market Value Adjustment = $124,230 X
(( 1.07 / 1.0850 ) ^ ( 2,555 / 365 ) - 1 ) = $11,535
Therefore, the amount paid to you on full surrender ignoring any
surrender charge is $112,695 ( $124,230 - $11,535 ).
EXAMPLE #2: FULL SURRENDER EXAMPLE OF A POSITIVE MARKET VALUE
ADJUSTMENT
Assume $100,000 was allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation with
a guaranteed interest period of 10 years, a guaranteed interest rate
of 7.5%, an initial Index Rate ("I") of 7%; that a full surrender is
requested 3 years into the guaranteed interest period; that the then
Index Rate for a 7 year guaranteed interest period ("J") is 6%; and
that no prior transfers or withdrawals affecting this Fixed Interest
Allocation have been made.
CALCULATE THE MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
1. The contract value of the Fixed Interest Allocation on the date
of surrender is $124,230
($100,000 x 1.075 ^ 3)
2. N = 2,555 ( 365 X 7 )
3. Market Value Adjustment =$124,230 X
(( 1.07 / 1.0650 ) ^ ( 2,555 / 365 ) - 1 ) = $4,141
Therefore, the amount paid to you on full surrender ignoring any
surrender charge is $128,371 ( $124,230 + $4,141 ).
EXAMPLE #3: WITHDRAWAL EXAMPLE OF A NEGATIVE MARKET VALUE
ADJUSTMENT
Assume $200,000 was allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation with
a guaranteed interest period of 10 years, a guaranteed interest rate
of 7.5%, an initial Index Rate ("I") of 7%; that a withdrawal of
$112,695 is requested 3 years into the guaranteed interest period;
that the then Index Rate ("J") for a 7 year guaranteed interest
period is 8%; and that no prior transfers or withdrawals affecting
this Fixed Interest Allocation have been made.
B1
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
First calculate the amount that must be withdrawn from the Fixed
Interest Allocation to provide the amount requested.
1. The contract value of the Fixed Interest Allocation on the date
of withdrawal is $248,459
( $200,000 x 1.075 ^ 3 )
2. N = 2,555 ( 365 x 7 )
3. Amount that must be withdrawn =
(( $112,695 / ( 1.07 / 1.0850 ) ^ (2,555 / 365)) = $124,230
Then calculate the Market Value Adjustment on that amount.
4. Market Value Adjustment = $124,230 x
(( 1.07 / 1.0850 ) ^ (2,555 / 365) - 1) = $11,535
Therefore, the amount of the withdrawal paid to you ignoring any
surrender charge is $112,695, as requested. The Fixed Interest
Allocation will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, $112,695,
and also reduced by the Market Value Adjustment of $11,535, for a
total reduction in the Fixed Interest Allocation of $124,230.
EXAMPLE #4: WITHDRAWAL EXAMPLE OF A POSITIVE MARKET VALUE
ADJUSTMENT
Assume $200,000 was allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation with
a guaranteed interest period of 10 years, a guaranteed interest rate
of 7.5%, an initial Index Rate of 7%; that a withdrawal of $128,371
requested 3 years into the guaranteed interest period; that the then
Index Rate ("J") for a 7 year guaranteed interest period is 6%; and
that no prior transfers or withdrawals affecting this Fixed Interest
Allocation have been made.
First calculate the amount that must be withdrawn from the Fixed
Interest Allocation to provide the amount requested.
1. The contract value of Fixed Interest Allocation on the date of
surrender is $248,459
($200,000 x 1.075 ^ 3)
2. N = 2,555 ( 365 x 7 )
3. Amount that must be withdrawn =
(( $128,371 / ( 1.07 /1.0650) ^ ( 2,555 / 365)) = $124,230
Then calculate the Market Value Adjustment on that amount.
4. Market Value Adjustment = $124,230 x
(( 1.07 /1.0650) ^ ( 2,555 / 365) - 1 ) = $4,141
Therefore, the amount of the withdrawal paid to you ignoring any
surrender charge is $128,371, as requested. The Fixed Interest
Allocation will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, $128,371,
but increased by the Market Value Adjustment of $4,141, for a total
reduction in the Fixed Interest Allocation of $124,230.

APPENDIX C
SURRENDER CHARGE FOR EXCESS WITHDRAWALS EXAMPLE
The following assumes you made an initial premium payment of $10,000
and additional premium payments of $10,000 in each of the second and
third contract years, for total premium payments under the Contract
of $30,000. It also assumes a withdrawal at the beginning of the
fifth contract year of 30% of the contract value of $35,000.
In this example, $8,000 (0.10 x $30,000 + $5,000 earnings) is the
maximum free withdrawal amount that you may withdraw during the
contract year without a surrender charge. The total withdrawal would
be $10,500 ($35,000 x .30). Therefore, $2,500 (10,500 - 8,000) is
considered an excess withdrawal of a part of the initial premium
payment of $10,000 and would be subject to a 4% surrender charge of
$100 ($2,500 x .04). This example does not take into account any
Market Value Adjustment or deduction of any premium taxes.

INTRODUCTION
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. On August 13, 1996, Equitable of Iowa
Companies, Inc. (formerly Equitable of Iowa Companies)
("Equitable of Iowa") acquired all of the interest in Golden
American and Directed Services, Inc. On October 24, 1997,
Equitable of Iowa and ING Groep N.V. ("ING") completed a merger
agreement, and Equitable of Iowa became a wholly owned subsidiary
of ING. ING, headquartered in The Netherlands, is a global
financial services holding company with over $461.8 billion in
assets as of December 31, 1998.
As of December 31, 1998, Golden American had approximately $353.9
million in stockholder's equity and approximately $4.8 billion in
total assets, including approximately $3.4 billion of separate
account assets. Golden American is authorized to do business in
all jurisdictions except New York. Golden American offers
variable annuities and variable life insurance. Golden American
formed a subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company
of New York ("First Golden"), who is licensed to do variable
annuity business in the states of New York and Delaware.
SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS
Golden American acts as its own custodian for Account B.
THE ADMINISTRATOR
Effective January 1, 1997, Equitable Life Insurance Company of
Iowa ("Equitable Life") and Golden American became parties to a
service agreement pursuant to which Equitable Life agreed to
provide certain accounting, actuarial, tax, underwriting, sales,
management and other services to Golden American. Expenses
incurred by Equitable Life in relation to this service agreement
were reimbursed by Golden American on an allocated cost basis.
No charges were billed to Golden American by Equitable Life
pursuant to the service agreement in 1997. Equitable Life billed
Golden American $892,903 pursuant to the service agreement in
1998.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, performs annual audits
of Golden American and Account B.
DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
The offering of contracts under the prospectus associated with
this Statement of Additional Information is continuous. Directed
Services, Inc., an affiliate of Golden American, 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 (the "variable insurance products")
issued by Golden American. The variable insurance products were
sold primarily through two broker/dealer institutions, during the
year ended December 31, 1996, through two broker/dealer
institutions during the year ended December 31, 1997 and through
two broker/dealer institutions during the year ended December 31,
1998. For the years ended 1998, 1997 and 1996 commissions paid
by Golden American, including amounts paid by its subsidiary, First
Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York, to Directed
Services, Inc. aggregated $117,470,000, $36,350,000 and $27,065,000,
respectively. Directed Services, Inc. is located at 1475 Dunwoody
Drive, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380-1478.
Under a management services agreement, last amended in 1995,
Golden American provides to Directed Services, Inc. certain of
its personnel to perform management, administrative and clerical
services and the use of certain facilities. Golden American
charges Directed Services, Inc. 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 Directed Services, Inc. In the
1
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
opinion of
management, this method of cost allocation is reasonable. This
fee, calculated as a percentage of average assets in the variable
separate accounts, was $4,771,000, $2,770,000 and $2,267,000 for
the years ended 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance information for the subaccounts of Account B,
including yields, standard annual returns and other non-standard
measures of performance of all subaccounts, may appear in reports
or promotional literature to current or prospective owners. Such
non-standard measures of performance will be computed, or
accompanied by performance data computed, in accordance with
criteria defined by the SEC. Negative values are denoted by minus
signs ("-"). Performance information for measures other than
total return do not reflect any applicable premium tax that can
range from 0% to 3.5%. As described in the prospectus, three
death benefit options are available. The following performance
values reflect the election at issue of the 7% Solution Enhanced
Death Benefit Option providing values reflecting the highest
aggregate contract charges. If one of the other death benefit
options had been elected, the historical performance values would
be higher than those represented in the examples.
SEC Standard Money Market Subaccount Yields
Current yield for the Liquid Asset Subaccount will be based on
the change in the value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive
of capital changes or income other than investment income) over a
particular 7-day period, less a pro-rata share of subaccount
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:
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return) +1)^365/7] - 1
The current yield and effective yield of the Liquid Asset
Subaccount for the 7-day period December 25, 1998 to December 31,
1998 were 3.25% and 3.30%, respectively.
SEC STANDARD 30-DAY YIELD FOR NON-MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNTS
Quotations of yield for the remaining subaccounts will be based
on all investment income per subaccount 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:
Yield = 2 [ ( a - b +1)^(6) - 1]
-------
cd
Where:
[a] equals the net investment income earned during
the period by the investment portfolio attributable
to shares owned by a subaccount
[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
accumulation unit value
[d] equals the value (maximum offering price) per
accumulation unit value on the last day of the
period
Yield on subaccounts of Account B is earned from the increase in
net asset value of shares of the investment portfolio in which
the subaccount invests and from dividends declared and paid by
the investment portfolio, which are automatically reinvested in
shares of the investment portfolio.
SEC STANDARD AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR ALL SUBACCOUNTS
Quotations of average annual total return for any subaccount 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
subaccount), calculated pursuant to the formula:
2
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
P(1+T)^(n)=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 Securities and Exchange Commission
(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.
Except for the All Cap, Investors, Large Cap Value, and Managed
Global subaccounts which had not commenced operations as of December 31,
1998, Average Annual Total Return for the subaccounts is presented on a
standardized basis, which includes deductions for the maximum
mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25%, administrative charges
of 0.15%, contract administration charge annulized at 0.75% and
applicable surrender charges of 7% for the one year period and 3%
for the five year period for the year ending December 31, 1998

NON-STANDARD AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR ALL SUBACCOUNTS
Quotations of non-standard average annual total return for any
subaccount 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 subaccount), calculated pursuant to the
formula:
P(1+T)^(n)]=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) 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.
Except for the All Cap, Investors, Large Cap Value, and Managed
Global subaccounts which had not commenced operations as of December 31,

Performance information for a subaccount 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 subaccount's results
with those of a group of securities widely regarded by investors as
4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 subaccount reflects only the
performance of a hypothetical contract under which contract value
is allocated to a subaccount 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 investment portfolio of the
Trust in which the Account B subaccounts 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 subaccount 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+ ratings mean, in the
opinion of A.M. Best, that the insurer has demonstrated the
strongest ability to meet its respective policyholder and other
contractual obligations.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The calculation of the Accumulation Unit Value ("AUV") is
discussed in the prospectus for the Contracts under Performance
Information. Note that in your Contract, accumulation unit value
is referred to as the Index of Investment Experience. The
following illustrations show a calculation of a new AUV and the
purchase of Units (using hypothetical examples).
1. AUV, beginning of period $ 10.00
2. Value of securities, beginning of period $ 10.00
3. Change in value of securities $ 0.10
4. Gross investment return (3) divided by (2) 0.01
5. Less daily mortality and expense charge 0.00003446
6. Less asset based administrative charge 0.00000411
7. Net investment return (4) minus (5) minus (6) 0.00996143
8. Net investment factor (1.000000) plus (7) 1.00996143
9. AUV, end of period (1) multiplied by (8) $ 10.0996143
ILLUSTRATION OF PURCHASE OF UNITS (ASSUMING NO STATE PREMIUM TAX)
EXAMPLE 2.
1. Initial Premium Payment $ 1,000
2. AUV on effective date of purchase (see Example 1) $ 10.00
3. Number of Units purchased [(1) divided by (2)] 100
4. AUV for valuation date following purchase
(see Example 1) $ 10.0996143
5. Accumulation Value in account for valuation date
following purchase [(3) multiplied by (4)] $ 1,009.96

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 contract value by the life expectancy. In the first year
withdrawals begin, we use the contract value as of the date of
the first payment. Thereafter, we use the contract 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.

GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Golden American Life Insurance Company Separate Account B (the "Account") was
established by Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") to
support the operations of variable annuity contracts ("Contracts"). 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. 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 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 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.
During 1999, the Account had GoldenSelect Contracts and Granite PrimElite
Contracts. GoldenSelect Contracts sold by Golden American during 1999
include DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA Plus, Access, Premium Plus, ESII, and
Value. During 1999, the Account had GoldenSelect Contracts (DVA 80) which
were no longer being sold.
During 1999, the Account began selling GoldenSelect Value Contracts. The
Value Contracts have daily mortality and expense risk charges deducted at an
annual rate of 0.75%. A daily charge for an asset based administrative
charge is deducted from assets attributable to the contract at an annual rate
of 0.15%. Currently, there is no administrative charge for Value Contracts.
Premium taxes, where applicable, are deducted from the accumulation value of
the Value Contracts. The amount and timing of the deduction depend on the
annuitant's state of residence and currently ranges up to 3.5%. The
contingent deferred sales charges for the Value Contract is imposed as a
percentage of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered or a
partial withdrawal in excess of stated allowable partial withdrawals is
taken. The surrender charge is imposed at a rate of 6% during the first
three complete years after purchase declining to 5%, 4%, 3%, and 1% after the
third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years, respectively.
At September 30, 1999, the Account had, under GoldenSelect Contracts, twenty-
six investment divisions: Liquid Asset, Limited Maturity Bond, Hard Assets,
All-Growth, Real Estate, Fully Managed, Equity Income (formerly Multiple
Allocation), Capital Appreciation, Rising Dividends, Emerging Markets, Market
Manager, Value Equity, Strategic Equity, Small Cap, Managed Global, Mid-Cap
Growth, Capital Growth (formerly Growth & Income), Research, Total Return,
Growth (formerly Value + Growth), Global Fixed Income, Developing World,
Growth Opportunities, PIMCO High Yield Bond, PIMCO StocksPLUS Growth and
Income, and International Equity Divisions ("Divisions"). The Account also
had, under Granite PrimElite Contracts, eight investments divisions: Mid-Cap
Growth, Research, Total Return, Appreciation, Smith Barney High Income, Smith
Barney Large Cap Value, Smith Barney International Equity, and Smith Barney
Money Market Divisions (collectively with the divisions noted above,
"Divisions"). 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, The GCG Trust, the Travelers Series Fund Inc., the Greenwich
Street Series Fund Inc., the Warburg Pincus Trust or the PIMCO Variable
Insurance Trust (the "Trusts"). The Account also includes The Fund For Life
Division, which is not included in the accompanying financial statements, and
ceased to accept new Contracts effective December 31, 1994.
Golden American has requested permission from the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") to substitute shares of the All-Growth Series and the
Growth Opportunities Series with shares of the Mid-Cap Growth Series. These
requests are still pending. As of May 1, 1999, new allocations to the All-
Growth Series and the Growth Opportunities Series are no longer being
accepted.
Prior to August 14, 1998, the Account also had certain investment divisions
available from the Equi-Select Series Trust. In an effort to consolidate
operations, Golden American requested permission from the SEC to substitute
shares of each Portfolio of the Equi-Select Series Trust with shares of a
similar Series of The GCG Trust. On August 14, 1998, after approval from the
SEC, shares of each Portfolio of the Equi-Select Series Trust were substituted
with shares of a similar Series of The GCG Trust. The consolidation resulted
in the following Series being substituted from The GCG Trust:

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
permitted to direct their investments into this Division.

The Board of Directors
Golden American Life Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liability of Golden
American Life Insurance Company Separate Account B as of December 31, 1998,
and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Account's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31,
1998, 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Golden American Life
Insurance Company Separate Account B at December 31, 1998, and the results of
its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Golden American Life Insurance Company Separate Account B (the "Account") was
established by Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") to
support the operations of variable annuity contracts ("Contracts"). 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. 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 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 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.
During 1998, the Account had GoldenSelect Contracts and Granite PrimElite
Contracts. GoldenSelect Contracts sold by Golden American during 1998
include DVA 100, DVA Series 100, DVA PLUS, ACCESS, PREMIUM PLUS and ESII.
During 1998, the Account had GoldenSelect Contracts (DVA 80) which were no
longer being sold.
At December 31, 1998, the Account had, under GoldenSelect Contracts, twenty-
six investment divisions: Liquid Asset, Limited Maturity Bond, Hard Assets,
All-Growth, Real Estate, Fully Managed, Multiple Allocation, Capital
Appreciation, Rising Dividends, Emerging Markets, Market Manager, Value
Equity, Strategic Equity, Small Cap, Managed Global, Mid-Cap Growth (formerly
OTC), Growth & Income, Research, Total Return, Value + Growth, Global Fixed
Income, Developing World, Growth Opportunities, PIMCO High Yield Bond, PIMCO
StocksPLUS Growth and Income and International Equity Divisions
("Divisions"). The Account also had, under Granite PrimElite Contracts,
eight investment divisions: Mid-Cap Growth (formerly OTC), Research, Total
Return, Appreciation, Smith Barney High Income, Smith Barney Large Cap Value
(formerly Smith Barney Income and Growth), Smith Barney International Equity
and Smith Barney Money Market Divisions (collectively with the divisions
noted above, "Divisions"). 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, The GCG Trust, the Travelers Series Fund Inc.,
the Greenwich Street Series Fund Inc. (formerly the Smith Barney Series Fund
Inc.), the Warburg Pincus Trust or the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the
"Trusts"). 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.
Prior to August 14, 1998, the Account also had certain investment divisions
available from the Equi-Select Series Trust. In an effort to consolidate
operations, Golden American requested permission from the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") to substitute shares of each Portfolio of the
Equi-Select Series Trust with shares of a similar Series of The GCG Trust.
On August 14, 1998, after approval from the SEC, shares of each Portfolio of
the Equi-Select Series Trust were substituted with shares of a similar Series
of The GCG Trust. The consolidation resulted in the following Series being
substituted from The GCG Trust:

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
permitted to direct their investments into this Division.
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 from 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
The DVA PLUS, ACCESS and the PREMIUM PLUS each have three different death
benefit options referred to as Standard, Annual Ratchet and 7% Solution;
however, in the state of Washington, the 5.5% Solution is offered instead of
the 7% Solution. Granite PrimElite has two death benefit options referred to
as Standard and Annual Ratchet. Golden American discontinued external sales
of DVA 80 in May 1991. In December 1995, Golden American also discontinued
external sales of DVA 100, however, the DVA 100 contracts continue to be
available to Golden American employees and agents. 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.
Daily charges deducted at annual rates to cover these risks are as
follows:

</TABLE>
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 the DVA PLUS, ACCESS, PREMIUM PLUS, ESII and Granite
PrimElite Contracts.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES: An administrative charge is deducted from the
accumulation value of Deferred Annuity Contracts to cover ongoing
administrative expenses. The charge is $30 per Contract year for ES II
contracts. For all other Contracts the charge is $40. The charge is
incurred at the beginning of the Contract processing period and deducted at
the end of the Contract processing period. This charge has been waived for
certain offerings of the Contracts.
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, PREMIUM PLUS, ES II and
Granite PrimElite Contracts, 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. The following table
reflects the surrender charge that is assessed, based upon the date a premium
payment is received.

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 the
Contract accumulation values.
DEFERRED SALES LOAD: Under Contracts offered prior to October 1995, a sales
load of up to 7.5% was assessed against 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 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.
FEES WAIVED BY GOLDEN AMERICAN: 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.
A summary of the net assets retained in the Account, representing the
unamortized deferred sales load and premium taxes advanced by Golden American
previously noted, 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 100 or DVA Series
100 Contract to a DVA PLUS Contract. Updates to DVA PLUS Contracts resulted
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.

ITEM 26: PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR
REGISTRANT
The Depositor owns 100% of the stock of a New York company, First Golden
American Life Insurance Company of New York ("First Golden"). The 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:
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 ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). 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.
The registrant is a segregated asset account of the Company and is
therefore owned and controlled by the Company. All of the Company's
outstanding stock is owned and controlled by ING. Various companies
and other entities controlled by ING may therefore be considered to be
under common control with the registrant or the Company. Such other
companies and entities, together with the identity of their controlling
persons (where applicable), are set forth on the following organizational
chart.
The subsidiaries of ING are included as Exhibit 16.
Item 27: Number of Contract Owners
As of December 31, 1999, there are 34,298 qualified contract owners and
57,987 non-qualified contract owners in Golden American's Separate
Account B.
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 or its parents 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, DSI, 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 of Golden American,
Separate Account B of Golden American, Alger Separate Account A of Golden
American, Separate Account NY-B of First Golden, Separate Account A for
Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa and The GCG Trust.
(b) The following information is furnished with respect to the principal
officers and directors of Directed Services, Inc., the Registrant's
Distributor. The principal business address for each officer and director
following is 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, PA 19380-1478, unless
otherwise noted.

Members of the Board of Directors
Golden American Life Insurance Company
1475 Dunwoody Drive
West Chester, PA 19380-1478
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Executive Vice President and Secretary of Golden
American Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), I have examined the
form of Registration Statement on Form N-4 to be filed by you with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an indefinite number
of units of interest in Separate Account B of the Company (the
"Account"). I am familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to
be taken in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of
units.
Based upon my examination and upon my knowledge of the corporate
activities relating to the Account, it is my opinion that:
(1) The Company was organized in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware and is a duly authorized stock life insurance
company under the laws of Delaware and the laws of those states
in which the Company is admitted to do business;
(2) The Account is a validly established separate investment
account of the Company;
(3) The portion of the assets to be held in the Account equals the
reserve and other liabilities for variable benefits under variable
annuity contracts to be issued by the Account. Such assets are
not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
the Company conducts;
(4) The units and the variable annuity contracts will, when issued and
sold in the manner described in the registration statement, be
legal and binding obligations of the Company and will be legally
and validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
registration statement and to the reference to my name under the
heading "Legal Matters" in the prospectus contained in said
registration statement. In giving this consent I do not thereby admit
that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Sincerely,
/s/ Myles R. Tashman
