<FN>

     1 Because  this is the first  year of  operation  for all "SP"  portfolios,
       other  expenses  are  estimated  based  on  management's   projection  of
       non-advisory fee expenses. Each "SP" portfolio has expense reimbursements
       in effect and the charges with  reimbursement are reflected in the table.
       These expense  reimbursements  are voluntary and may be terminated at any
       time. Without reimbursement, total operating expenses are estimated to be
       2.24% for the SP Jennison  International  Growth  Portfolio and 1.72% for
       the SP Strategic Partners Focused Growth Portfolio.

     1 Because  this is the first  year of  operation  for all "SP"  portfolios,
       other  expenses  are  estimated  based  on  management's   projection  of
       non-advisory fee expenses. Each "SP" portfolio has expense reimbursements
       in effect and the charges with  reimbursement are reflected in the table.
       These expense  reimbursements  are voluntary and may be terminated at any
       time. Without reimbursement, total operating expenses are estimated to be
       2.24% for the SP Jennison  International  Growth  Portfolio and 1.72% for
       the SP Strategic Partners Focused Growth Portfolio.

1.   The tables in the SAI are  replaced  with the  following  tables which have
     been revised to include performance data as of September 30, 2000.

The charts  below show  Accumulation  Unit  performance  which  assumes that the
Accumulation Units were invested in each of the Portfolios for the same periods.
The  performance  figures  in  Table I  represent  performance  figures  for the
Accumulation  Units which  reflects the  deduction of the  mortality and expense
risk  charge,   administrative   charge,  and  the  operating  expenses  of  the
Portfolios.  Table II represents  performance figures for the Accumulation Units
which reflects the mortality and expense risk charge, administrative charge, the
contract  maintenance  charge,  the  operating  expenses of the  Portfolios  and
assumes  that you make a  withdrawal  at the end of the  period  (therefore  the
contingent  deferred  sales  charge is  reflected).  Past  performance  does not
guarantee future results.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


INVESTMENTS
Investments  of the Variable  Account are valued daily at market value using net
asset values provided by AIM Variable  Insurance Funds, Inc., The Alger American
Fund,  the  Franklin  Templeton  Variable  Insurance  Products  Trust,  and  the
USAllianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.

Realized investment gains include realized gain distributions  received from the
respective portfolios and gains on the sale of portfolio shares as determined by
the average cost method.  Realized  gain  distributions  are  reinvested  in the
respective  portfolios.  Dividend distributions received from the portfolios are
reinvested in additional  shares of the portfolios and are recorded as income to
the Variable Account on the ex-dividend date.

A Flexible Fixed Account  investment  option and a Dollar Cost  Averaging  Fixed
Account  investment  option are available to deferred  annuity  contract owners.
These  accounts are comprised of equity and fixed income  investments  which are
part of the general  assets of  Preferred  Life.  The  liabilities  of the Fixed
Accounts  are part of the  general  obligations  of  Preferred  Life and are not
included in the Variable Account.  The guaranteed  minimum rate of return on the
Fixed Accounts is 3%.

On November 12, 1999, the AIM VI Growth Fund,  Alger American Growth Fund, Alger
American  Leveraged  AllCap  Fund,  Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund,  USAllianz  VIP
Diversified  Assets Fund,  USAllianz  VIP Fixed Income Fund,  and  USAllianz VIP
Growth Fund were added as available investment options.

The  Franklin   Aggressive  Growth  Securities  Fund  and  Franklin   Technology
Securities Fund were added as available investment options on May 1, 2000.

During the  nine-month  period  ended  September  30, 2000,  several  portfolios
changed their name as summarized,  with the effective date of the change, in the
following table.

CONTRACTS IN ANNUITY PAYMENT PERIOD
Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable  contracts  according to the
1983 Individual  Annuity  Mortality Table,  using an assumed  investment  return
(AIR) equal to the AIR of the specific  contracts,  either 3% or 5%.  Charges to
annuity reserves for mortality and risk expense are reimbursed to Preferred Life
if the  reserves  required are less than  originally  estimated.  If  additional
reserves are required, Preferred Life reimburses the account.


EXPENSES

ASSET BASED EXPENSES
A mortality and expense risk charge is deducted  from the Variable  Account on a
daily basis.  The charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net
assets of Valuemark II and 1.34% of the daily net assets of Valuemark IV.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

An administrative  charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a daily basis
equal,  on an annual  basis,  to 0.15% of the daily net  assets of all  products
which comprise the Variable Account.


CONTRACT BASED EXPENSES
A contract  maintenance  charge is paid by the contract owner annually from each
contract by  liquidating  contract  units at the end of the contract year and at
the time of full surrender.  The amount of the charge is $30 each year. Contract
maintenance  charges  deducted during the nine-month  period ended September 30,
2000  (unaudited)  and the year  ended  December  31,  1999  were  $276,767  and
$443,591,  respectively.  These contract charges are reflected in the Statements
of Changes in Net Assets as other transactions.

A contingent  deferred  sales charge is deducted from the contract  value at the
time of a  surrender.  This  charge  applies  only to a  surrender  of  purchase
payments  received  within five years of the date of surrender  for Valuemark II
contracts  and within  seven years of the date of  surrender  for  Valuemark  IV
contracts. The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge is shown below.

6-7                        0%               2%

Total  contingent  deferred sales charges paid by the contract owners during the
nine-month  period  ended  September  30,  2000  (unaudited)  and the year ended
December 31, 1999 were $495,633 and $961,794, respectively.

On Valuemark II deferred  annuity  contracts,  a systematic  withdrawal  plan is
available  which allows an owner to withdraw up to nine percent (9%) of purchase
payments less prior  surrenders  annually,  paid monthly or  quarterly,  without
incurring a contingent  deferred sales charge.  The systematic  withdrawal  plan
available to Valuemark IV deferred  annuity contract owners allows up to fifteen
percent  (15%)  of the  contract  value  withdrawn  annually,  paid  monthly  or
quarterly, without incurring a contingent deferred sales charge. The exercise of
the  systematic  withdrawal  plan in any contract  year replaces the 15% penalty
free privilege for that year for all deferred annuity contracts.

Currently,  twelve transfers are permitted each contract year.  Thereafter,  the
fee is $25 per transfer,  or 2% of the amount transferred,  if less.  Currently,
transfers  associated  with the dollar cost  averaging  program are not counted.
Total transfer  charges during the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2000
(unaudited)  and the year  ended  December  31,  1999 were  $4,780  and  $4,250,
respectively.  Transfer charges are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets as other transactions.  Net transfers to the Fixed Accounts were $438,883
for the nine-month  period ended September 30, 2000  (unaudited).  Net transfers
from the Fixed Accounts were $5,218,108 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Premium  taxes or other taxes  payable to a state or other  governmental  entity
will be charged  against the contract  values.  Preferred  Life may, at its sole
discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the contract value at
a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right Preferred Life
may have to deduct such amounts at a later date.

A  rescission  is defined as a contract  that is  returned  to the  company  and
canceled within the free-look period, generally within 10 days.


3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Operations  of the  Variable  Account  form a  part  of,  and  are  taxed  with,
operations of Preferred Life,  which is taxed as a life insurance  company under
the Internal Revenue Code.

Preferred  Life  does  not  expect  to incur  any  federal  income  taxes in the
operation of the Variable Account. If, in the future,  Preferred Life determines
that the Variable  Account may incur federal income taxes,  it may then assess a
charge against the Variable Account for such taxes.

1.   The tables in the SAI are  replaced  with the  following  tables which have
     been revised to include performance data as of September 30, 2000.

The charts  below show  Accumulation  Unit  performance  which  assumes that the
Accumulation Units were invested in each of the Portfolios for the same periods.
The  performance  figures  in  Table I  represent  performance  figures  for the
Accumulation Units which reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk
charge,  administrative  charge,  and the operating  expenses of the Portfolios.
Table II represents performance figures for the Accumulation Units which reflect
the  mortality  and expense risk  charge,  administrative  charge,  the contract
maintenance  charge,  the operating  expenses of the Portfolios and assumes that
you  make a  withdrawal  at the  end of the  period  (therefore  the  contingent
deferred sales charge is reflected).  Past performance does not guarantee future
results.

Notes to Financial Statements (CONTINUED)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


INVESTMENTS
Investments  of the Variable  Account are valued daily at market value using net
asset values provided by AIM Variable  Insurance Funds, Inc., The Alger American
Fund,  the  Franklin  Templeton  Variable  Insurance  Products  Trust,  and  the
USAllianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.

Realized investment gains include realized gain distributions  received from the
respective portfolios and gains on the sale of portfolio shares as determined by
the average cost method.  Realized  gain  distributions  are  reinvested  in the
respective  portfolios.  Dividend distributions received from the portfolios are
reinvested in additional  shares of the portfolios and are recorded as income to
the Variable Account on the ex-dividend date.

A Flexible Fixed Account  investment  option and a Dollar Cost  Averaging  Fixed
Account  investment  option are available to deferred  annuity  contract owners.
These  accounts are comprised of equity and fixed income  investments  which are
part of the general  assets of  Preferred  Life.  The  liabilities  of the Fixed
Accounts  are part of the  general  obligations  of  Preferred  Life and are not
included in the Variable Account.  The guaranteed  minimum rate of return on the
Fixed Accounts is 3%.

On November 12, 1999, the AIM VI Growth Fund,  Alger American Growth Fund, Alger
American  Leveraged  AllCap  Fund,  Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund,  USAllianz  VIP
Diversified  Assets Fund,  USAllianz  VIP Fixed Income Fund,  and  USAllianz VIP
Growth Fund were added as available investment options.

The  Franklin   Aggressive  Growth  Securities  Fund  and  Franklin   Technology
Securities Fund were added as available investment options on May 1, 2000.

During the  nine-month  period  ended  September  30, 2000,  several  portfolios
changed their name as summarized,  with the effective date of the change, in the
following table.

</TABLE>


CONTRACTS IN ANNUITY PAYMENT PERIOD
Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable  contracts  according to the
1983 Individual  Annuity  Mortality Table,  using an assumed  investment  return
(AIR) equal to the AIR of the specific  contracts,  either 3% or 5%.  Charges to
annuity reserves for mortality and risk expense are reimbursed to Preferred Life
if the  reserves  required are less than  originally  estimated.  If  additional
reserves are required, Preferred Life reimburses the account.


EXPENSES

ASSET BASED EXPENSES
A mortality and expense risk charge is deducted  from the Variable  Account on a
daily basis.  The charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net
assets of Valuemark II and 1.34% of the daily net assets of Valuemark IV.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

An administrative  charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a daily basis
equal,  on an annual  basis,  to 0.15% of the daily net  assets of all  products
which comprise the Variable Account.


CONTRACT BASED EXPENSES
A contract  maintenance  charge is paid by the contract owner annually from each
contract by  liquidating  contract  units at the end of the contract year and at
the time of full surrender.  The amount of the charge is $30 each year. Contract
maintenance  charges  deducted during the nine-month  period ended September 30,
2000  (unaudited)  and the year  ended  December  31,  1999  were  $276,767  and
$443,591,  respectively.  These contract charges are reflected in the Statements
of Changes in Net Assets as other transactions.

A contingent  deferred  sales charge is deducted from the contract  value at the
time of a  surrender.  This  charge  applies  only to a  surrender  of  purchase
payments  received  within five years of the date of surrender  for Valuemark II
contracts  and within  seven years of the date of  surrender  for  Valuemark  IV
contracts. The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge is shown below.

6-7                        0%               2%

Total  contingent  deferred sales charges paid by the contract owners during the
nine-month  period  ended  September  30,  2000  (unaudited)  and the year ended
December 31, 1999 were $495,633 and $961,794, respectively.

On Valuemark II deferred  annuity  contracts,  a systematic  withdrawal  plan is
available  which allows an owner to withdraw up to nine percent (9%) of purchase
payments less prior  surrenders  annually,  paid monthly or  quarterly,  without
incurring a contingent  deferred sales charge.  The systematic  withdrawal  plan
available to Valuemark IV deferred  annuity contract owners allows up to fifteen
percent  (15%)  of the  contract  value  withdrawn  annually,  paid  monthly  or
quarterly, without incurring a contingent deferred sales charge. The exercise of
the  systematic  withdrawal  plan in any contract  year replaces the 15% penalty
free privilege for that year for all deferred annuity contracts.

Currently,  twelve transfers are permitted each contract year.  Thereafter,  the
fee is $25 per transfer,  or 2% of the amount transferred,  if less.  Currently,
transfers  associated  with the dollar cost  averaging  program are not counted.
Total transfer  charges during the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2000
(unaudited)  and the year  ended  December  31,  1999 were  $4,780  and  $4,250,
respectively.  Transfer charges are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets as other transactions.  Net transfers to the Fixed Accounts were $438,883
for the nine-month  period ended September 30, 2000  (unaudited).  Net transfers
from the Fixed Accounts were $5,218,108 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Premium  taxes or other taxes  payable to a state or other  governmental  entity
will be charged  against the contract  values.  Preferred  Life may, at its sole
discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the contract value at
a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right Preferred Life
may have to deduct such amounts at a later date.

A  rescission  is defined as a contract  that is  returned  to the  company  and
canceled within the free-look period, generally within 10 days.


3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Operations  of the  Variable  Account  form a  part  of,  and  are  taxed  with,
operations of Preferred Life,  which is taxed as a life insurance  company under
the Internal Revenue Code.

Preferred  Life  does  not  expect  to incur  any  federal  income  taxes in the
operation of the Variable Account. If, in the future,  Preferred Life determines
that the Variable  Account may incur federal income taxes,  it may then assess a
charge against the Variable Account for such taxes.

ITEM  26.   PERSONS CONTROLLED  BY OR  UNDER  COMMON  CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR
           OR  REGISTRANT

The  Insurance  Company   organizational  chart  was  filed  as  Exhibit  14  in
Post-Effective  Amendment Number 8 to Registrant's  form N-4 and is incorporated
herein by reference.


ITEM  27.      NUMBER  OF  CONTRACT  OWNERS

As of  September 30,  2000  there  were 213  qualified  Contract  Owners and 286
non-qualified Contract Owners with Contracts in the Separate Account.


ITEM  28.      INDEMNIFICATION

The Bylaws of the Company provide that:

Each person (and the heirs,  executors,  and administrators of such person) made
or threatened to be made a party to any action, civil or criminal,  by reason of
being or having been a Director,  officer, or employee of the corporation (or by
reason of serving  any other  organization  at the  request of the  corporation)
shall be  indemnified  to the extent  permitted  by the laws of the State of New
York, and in the manner prescribed therein.

Insofar as  indemnification  for liability  arising under the  Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted for directors and officers or  controlling  persons of the
Company  pursuant to the foregoing,  or otherwise,  the Company has been advised
that  in  the  opinion  of  the   Securities   and  Exchange   Commission   such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for  indemnification  against  such
liabilities  (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling  person in connection with the securities being  registered,  the
Company  will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the
question  whether  such  indemnification  by  it is  against  public  policy  as
expressed  in the Act and will be  governed  by the final  adjudication  of such
issue.

ITEM  29.      PRINCIPAL  UNDERWRITERS


     a.  USAllianz Investor Services, LLC  (formerly NALAC Financial Plans,
     LLC) is the principal underwriter for the Contracts.  It  also  is  the
