                          Prospectus Dated May 1, 1997
    

       MULTI VEST[RegTM] PLAN -- An Individual Deferred Variable Annuity 

This Prospectus describes the individual deferred variable annuity contract
("Contract") originally issued by Confederation Life Insurance and Annuity
Company ("Confederation"). The Contract allows tax-deferred capital accumulation
and provides future fixed income for retirement or other long-term purposes by
allowing Purchase Payments to be allocated on a variable basis, a fixed basis or
a combination of both. 


On August 12, 1994 Confederation was placed in rehabilitation by the Fulton
County, Georgia Superior Court and ceased sales of new Contracts and acceptance
of additional Purchase Payments. On October 2, 1995, Aetna Life Insurance and
Annuity Company ("Aetna", "the Company", "we", "our", or "us") assumed the
existing in-force Contracts in accordance with an Assumption Reinsurance
Agreement which was approved by the Fulton County, Georgia Superior Court in
connection with the rehabilitation of Confederation. Contract owners will look
to Aetna instead of Confederation to fulfill the terms of their Contracts. 


Aetna does not intend to resume sales of new Contracts; additional Purchase
Payments may continue to be made under existing Contracts subject to certain
limitations. See "The Contract -- Purchase Payments and Allocating Your Purchase
Payments." 


This Prospectus is intended to describe the Contract provisions relating to the
variable funding options and the fees and expenses that may be charged in
connection with Purchase Payments allocated to Variable Annuity Account G of
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Separate Account"). Information
with respect to the fixed funding option is included in the Appendix to this
Prospectus. 


There are currently eight Subaccounts in the Separate Account. Each Subaccount
invests in a corresponding portfolio of the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
the Oppenheimer Money Fund; the Oppenheimer High Income Fund; the Oppenheimer
Bond Fund; the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund; the Oppenheimer Growth
Fund; the Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies Fund; the Oppenheimer Global
Securities Fund; and the Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund. Each Fund has distinct
investment objectives and policies which are described in the accompanying
prospectus for the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds. See "Facts About Aetna,
The Separate Account and The Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds." 


   
This Prospectus sets forth the basic information about the Separate Account that
a prospective investor should know before investing. Additional information
about the Separate Account is contained in a Statement of Additional Information
("SAI") dated May 1, 1997, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). The Table of Contents of the SAI is found in this
Prospectus. An SAI is available at no charge by indicating your request on the
prospectus receipt or by calling 1-800-531-4547. An SAI for any of the
Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds may also be obtained by calling that phone
number. 


THIS PROSPECTUS, THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND OTHER INFORMATION
ABOUT THE SEPARATE ACOUNT REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION (SEC) CAN BE FOUND IN THE SEC'S WEB SITE AT http://www.sec.gov. 
    


THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. 


PLEASE READ THIS PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY AND RETAIN IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

                                    SUMMARY 

The following is a brief summary of some of the important features of the
Contract described in this Prospectus. Reference should be made to the body of
this Prospectus for more detailed information. Appendix A describes the fixed
funding option available under your Contract. 

The Contract 

The Contract allows tax-deferred capital accumulation and provides future fixed
income payments beginning on a date you choose. The amount of your future fixed
income will be based on the investment experience of the assets underlying the
Contract during the accumulation period. See "The Contract." 

Purchase Payments 

Additional Purchase Payments of at least $100 may be made at any time prior to
the Annuity Date. However, you are under no obligation to make additional
Purchase Payments. See "The Contract -- Purchase Payments and Allocating Your
Purchase Payments." 

Withdrawals and Surrenders 

Prior to the Annuity Date, you may make unlimited Withdrawals or Surrender your
Contract for the Surrender Value. See "Distributions Under the Contract" and
"Appendix A -- The Fixed Account." You may be subject to a penalty tax for an
early withdrawal. See "Federal Tax Matters -- Other Tax Considerations --
Penalty Tax on Certain Distributions." 

Surrender Charges 

A Surrender Charge may apply on the amounts withdrawn or surrendered. See
"Charges and Deductions -- Surrender Charges." 

Taxes and Withholding 

Purchase Payment and investment results of your Accumulation Account are
generally not taxable until distributed. Withholding for income tax may be
imposed on certain withdrawals. See "Federal Tax Matters." 

Charges and Deductions 

Certain charges and deductions are associated with the Contracts, for example,
State Taxes, annual contract fee, mortality and expense risk charge and
administrative fee. The Funds are also subject to certain fees and expenses. See
"Fee Table;" "Charges and Deductions." 

Annuity Payments 

The Contract is an annuity which provides for a series of fixed Income Payments.
You may choose the date Income Payments begin, subject to some limitations. The
amount of and the length of Income Payments will be based, in part, on the
Annuity Option selected. See "Annuity Benefit." 

Death Benefits 

Death proceeds are paid to your Beneficiary in the event of your death and you
have not annuitized all your Accumulation Account. See "Annuity Benefit." If
death occurs prior to age 85, the death proceeds will never be less than the sum
of Purchase Payments received less: prior Withdrawals, applicable Surrender
Charges on prior Withdrawals and values applied to the Partial Annuity Benefit.
Every five years, we will adjust the death proceeds to reflect increases in your
Accumulation Account Value. If death occurs on or after age 85 the death
proceeds will equal the value of the Accumulation Account. See "Distributions
Under the Contract -- Death Proceeds."

Variable Account Funds. The Fee Table does not include possible State Taxes. See

(1) Surrender Charges are based upon the number of years between the date
   Purchase Payments are deemed to have been received and the date they are
   withdrawn or surrendered. Purchase Payments received prior to October 2,
   1995, are deemed to have been received on the date of your initial Purchase
   Payment. Additional Purchase Payments received after October 2, 1995 will be
   deemed to be received on the date we actually receive them.

For the purpose of calculating the expenses in the above examples, we have
converted the $30 Annual Contract Fee to a 0.055% annual asset charge based on
the average size of Contracts. Converted in this way, the Annual Contract Fee
(on a percentage basis) would be higher for smaller Contracts and lower for
larger Contracts.

                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The Financial Statements for Aetna and the Separate Account are in the Statement
                     of Additional Information. 

                  FACTS ABOUT AETNA, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND
                    THE OPPENHEIMER VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUNDS 

The Company 

Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company") is the issuer of the
Contract, and as such, it is responsible for providing the insurance and annuity
benefits under the Contract. The Company is a stock life insurance company
organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976. Through
a merger, it succeeded to the business of Aetna Variable Annuity Life Insurance
Company (formerly Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an Arkansas life
insurance company organized in 1954). The Company is engaged in the business of
issuing life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts in all states of
the United States. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 151
Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156. 


   
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.,
which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc.
and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Inc. 
    

Variable Annuity Account G 

The Separate Account was originally established by Confederation pursuant to the
laws of the State of Georgia on December 15, 1988. On August 12, 1994
Confederation was placed in rehabilitation by the Fulton County, Georgia
Superior Court and ceased sales of new Contracts and acceptance of additional
Purchase Payments under existing in-force Contracts. The rehabilitator of
Confederation (the "Rehabilitator") sought proposals for the acquisition of
Confederation's stock, assets or liabilities which would provide superior
benefits to Confederation's estate, including Confederation's policyholders. On
May 3, 1995 the Rehabilitator and Aetna entered into an Assumption Reinsurance
Agreement pursuant to which Confederation would transfer to Aetna and Aetna
would assume and accept from Confederation the liabilities arising under the
Contracts and the assets funding the Contracts, including the Separate Account. 


Pursuant to the Assumption Reinsurance Agreement, the Separate Account was
transferred intact to Aetna on October 2, 1995 and re-established by us as
Variable Annuity Account G of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company pursuant
to the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Separate Account is a unit
investment trust registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act and it meets the
definition of a "separate account" under Federal securities laws. This does not
involve any supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or
practices of the Separate Account. 


Although Aetna holds title to the assets of the Separate Account, such assets
are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may
conduct. Income, gains or losses of the Separate Account are credited to or
charged against the assets of the Separate Account without regard to other
income, gains or losses of the Company. As a result, the investment performance
of the Separate Account is entirely independent of the investment performance of
the General Account or any other separate account maintained by us. All
obligations of Aetna arising under the Contracts are its general corporate
obligations. 


The Separate Account currently has eight Subaccounts: the Money Fund; the High
Income Fund; the Bond Fund; the Capital Appreciation Fund; the Growth Fund; the
Multiple Strategies Fund; the Global Securities Fund; and the Strategic Bond
Fund. 

The Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds and Investment Adviser 

Currently, each Subaccount of the Separate Account invests exclusively in
corresponding portfolios of the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (each
portfolio a "Fund"). The Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds was first organized
as a Massachusetts business trust in 1984. The Oppenheimer Variable Account
Funds was registered with the SEC as a diversified, open-end management
investment company under the 1940 Act. OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the Investment
Adviser ("Adviser") of the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds. The Adviser is
owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company owned in part by
senior management of the Adviser and ultimately controlled by Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company. Additional information on each Fund can be found
in the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds prospectus. 


The investment objectives and policies of the eight Funds of the Oppenheimer
Variable Account Funds are summarized below. 

   
Oppenheimer Money Fund -- seeks the maximum current income from investments in
"money market" securities consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance
of liquidity. An investment in this Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, and there is no assurance that this Fund will be able to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. 


Oppenheimer High Income Fund -- seeks a high level of current income from
investment in high yield fixed-income securities, including unrated securities
or high risk securities in the lower rating categories, commonly known as "junk
bonds," which are subject to a greater risk of loss of principal and nonpayment
of interest than higher-rated securities. These securities may be considered to
be speculative. 
    

                                       8

<PAGE>


Oppenheimer Bond Fund -- primarily seeks a high level of current income from
investment in high yield fixed-income securities rated "Baa" or better by
Moody's or "BBB" or better by Standard & Poor's. Secondarily, this Fund seeks
capital growth when consistent with its primary objective. 


Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund -- seeks to achieve capital appreciation
by investing in "growth-type" companies. 

Oppenheimer Growth Fund -- seeks to achieve capital appreciation by investing in
securities of well-known established companies. 


   
Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies Fund -- seeks a total investment return (which
includes current income and capital appreciation in the value of its shares)
from investments in common stocks and other equity securities, bonds and other
debt securities, and "money market" securities. 


Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund -- seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing a substantial portion of its assets in securities of foreign issuers,
"growth-type" companies, cyclical industries and special situations which are
considered to have appreciation possibilities. Current income is not an
objective. These securities may be considered to be speculative. 


Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund -- seeks a high level of current income
principally derived from interest on debt securities and seeks to enhance such
income by writing covered call options on debt securities. The Fund intends to
invest principally in (i) foreign government and corporate debt securities, (ii)
U.S. Government securities, and (iii) lower-rated high yield domestic debt
securities, commonly known as "junk bonds," which are subject to a greater risk
of loss of principal and nonpayment of interest than higher-rated securities.
These securities may be considered to be speculative. 


There is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objectives. You
bear the full investment risk of an investment in a Fund. Additional information
concerning each Fund, its potential risks and its fees and expenses can be found
in the accompanying current prospectus for the Oppenheimer Variable Account
Funds. Additional copies of the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds Prospectus
may be obtained from the Company's Home Office at the address and telephone
number listed on the cover of this Prospectus. You should read the Oppenheimer
Variable Account Funds Prospectus and consider carefully, and on a continuing
basis, which Fund or combination of Funds is best suited to your long-term
investment objectives. 
    

     Resolving Material Conflicts 

     Because the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds offers shares to the
separate accounts of other insurance companies and may offer shares to our other
separate accounts, a material conflict may arise between the interests of the
Separate Account and one or more other separate accounts investing in the
Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds. The Board of Trustees of the Oppenheimer
Variable Account Funds has agreed to monitor events in order to identify any
material conflicts and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in
response. We will take all steps we believe are necessary to protect the
Separate Account. 

     Changes and Substitutions of Funds 

     We reserve the right to add or eliminate a Fund and substitute shares held
by a Subaccount for another portfolio of the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds
or for another registered open-end management investment company as permitted by
the 1940 Act. To the extent required by the 1940 Act, substitutions of shares
attributable to your interest in a Subaccount will not be made until you have
been notified of the change. 

If deemed to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the
Contracts and subject to any approvals that may be required under applicable
law, the Separate Account may be: (1) operated as a management company under the
1940 Act, or any other form permitted by law; (2) deregistered under the 1940
Act in the event such registration is no longer required; (3) combined with one
or more other separate accounts; or (4) changed in other respects. 

                                 THE CONTRACT 

The Contract described in this Prospectus is an individual deferred variable
annuity which was established with an initial Purchase Payment and allows for
additional Purchase Payments if you so choose. 

Parties to the Contract 

     Owner 

     As the purchaser of the Contract, you may exercise all rights and
privileges provided in the Contract, subject to any rights that you, as Owner,
may convey to an irrevocable beneficiary. Joint ownership is not allowed. 

     Annuitant 

     The Annuitant is the person you designate to receive Income Payments and on
whose life these payments are based. At the time you elect an Annuity Option,
you may elect to name a joint Annuitant. See "Annuity Benefit -- Annuity
Options." 

                                       9

<PAGE>


     Beneficiary 

     The Beneficiary is the person you designate to receive the death proceeds.
See "Distributions Under the Contract -- Death Proceeds." If no Beneficiary is
living at that time, the death proceeds are payable to your estate. If the
Annuitant dies after the Annuity Date, the Beneficiary is the person who will
receive any remaining guaranteed payments under an Annuity Option. If no
Beneficiary is living at that time, the remaining guaranteed payments are
payable to the estate of the Annuitant. 

     Change of Annuitant or Beneficiary 

     Prior to the Annuity Date, you may change the Annuitant or Beneficiary by
submitting a written request to our Home Office. After the Annuity Date only a
change of Beneficiary may be made. Any change will become effective on the date
you sign the request. However, any change will be subject to any payment or
other action taken by us before we record the change. If the Owner is not a
natural person, under current Federal tax law, the Surrender Value must be
distributed upon any change of the Annuitant or the death of the Annuitant. See
"Federal Tax Matters." 

Purchase Payments and Allocating Your Purchase Payments 

No new Contracts are being issued. You may make additional Purchase Payments
under the Contract prior to the date all your Accumulation Account has been
annuitized. Additional Purchase Payments must be at least $100. There is no
limit on the number of additional Purchase Payments you may make. Each
additional Purchase Payment will be subject to our requirements at that time. We
reserve the right to modify the requirements. 


If imposed by the state or municipality in which you reside, State Taxes will be
deducted from each Purchase Payment and the remaining amount is known as the Net
Purchase Payment. See "Charges and Deductions -- State Taxes." Allocations to
the funding options of additional Net Purchase Payments will be made based upon
your allocation instructions in your application unless we receive a written
notice with new instructions. See "The Contract -- Allocation Changes."
Additional Net Purchase Payments will be credited to the Accumulation Account on
the Valuation Date the Purchase Payment is received at our Home Office. 


Under our bank draft investing program, additional Purchase Payments may also be
made by monthly drafts against your financial institution checking account. To
authorize these drafts, you must complete and return to us a special bank draft
authorization form which may be obtained from our Home Office. 


All Purchase Payments on Qualified Contracts must comply with applicable
provisions of the Code and your retirement plan, if any. Additional Purchase
Payments commingled in an individual retirement annuity with a rollover
contribution from other retirement plans may result in unfavorable tax
consequences. You should consult your tax advisor. 

Value of the Accumulation Account and Unit Value 

The total value of your Contract, known as the Value of the Accumulation
Account, equals your value in all the Subaccounts plus your value in the Fixed
Account. Generally, if the net asset value of a Fund increases or decreases, so
does the value in the corresponding Subaccount. The Accumulation Account
reflects the total of all increases and decreases in the Subaccounts in which
you have an interest. Your value in any given Subaccount is determined by
multiplying the Unit Value for the Subaccount by the number of Units you own. 


If you allocate amounts to a Subaccount, Aetna will purchase shares of the
corresponding Fund on behalf of the Subaccount and hold those shares in the
Subaccount. We will credit your Accumulation Account with Units of the
Subaccount. The number of Units will be determined by dividing the amount
allocated to the Subaccount by the Unit Value of the Subaccount for the
Valuation Period during which the amount was allocated. 


The Unit Value in each Subaccount was initially set at $10. Thereafter, the Unit
Value for each Subaccount at the end of any Valuation Period is calculated by
multiplying the Unit Value at the end of the prior Valuation Period by the net
investment factor of the Subaccount for the then current Valuation Period. 


The net investment factor for each Subaccount for any Valuation Period is equal
to (A / B) -- C, 

where 

A is the net result of: 

  (1) the net asset value per share of the Fund shares held in the Subaccount,
      determined at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus 


  (2) the per share amount of any dividend and capital gains distributions made
      by the Fund if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the current
      Valuation Period; plus or minus 


  (3) a charge or credit, if any, for taxes.

B is the net result of: 

  (1) the net asset value per share of the Fund shares held in the Subaccount
        determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period;
        plus or minus 


  (2) a charge or credit, if any, for taxes. 

   
C represents a daily deduction of .0037% for the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge and the Administration Fee. The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and the
Administration Fee are equal to an annual rate of 1.35% of the daily asset value
of the Subaccount. This percentage represents a 1.25% charge for the mortality
and expense risk assumed, and a .10% charge for the Administration Fee. The
daily deduction can result in a decrease of the Unit Value even if the Fund's
net asset value per share increases. See "Charges and Deductions." 
    


The net investment factor may be greater or less than one. Therefore, the Unit
Value for a Subaccount may increase or decrease from one Valuation Period to the
next Valuation Period. 

Allocation Changes 

You may change the allocation of additional Net Purchase Payments among the
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. There is no limit to the number of changes
you may make to your allocations. Allocations must be in whole percentages of
not less than 10%. The sum of the amounts which may be allocated to the Fixed
Account over the life of the Contract is limited to $250,000. See "Appendix A --
The Fixed Account." 

Transfers 

Prior to the Annuity Date, you may make unlimited Transfers among the
Subaccounts and into and out of the Fixed Account subject to certain rules. See
"Appendix A -- The Fixed Account." There are presently no fees for Transfers nor
are any taxes due. However, we reserve the right to charge a fee for Transfers
in excess of 12 per Contract Year or to limit the number of Transfers to 12 per
Contract Year. 


Transfers may be made by written request. Transfers may also be made by
telephone, providing telephone transfers have been specifically authorized. To
make telephone Transfers, call 1-800-531-4547. Telephone Transfers into or out
of the Fixed Account are not permitted. Transfer requests must be received at
our Home Office prior to 4:00 pm Eastern Time in order to be processed on the
same Valuation Date. We reserve the right to reject telephone or written
requests submitted in bulk on behalf of ten or more Contracts and to otherwise
limit, deny or terminate telephone transfers. See "Miscellaneous -- Telephone
Transfers." 


The minimum amount which may be transferred at any one time is the lesser of
$500 or your interest in the Fixed Account or the Subaccount from which the
Transfer is made. Under our Dollar Cost Averaging program, however, the minimum
amount for Transfers is $50 per Subaccount. See "The Contract -- Dollar Cost
Averaging." The sum of the amount which can be allocated to the Fixed Account
over the life of the Contract is limited to $250,000. See "Appendix A -- The
Fixed Account." 

Dollar Cost Averaging 

   
Our Dollar Cost Averaging program allows you to regularly transfer amounts from
the Money Fund Subaccount to one or more other Subaccounts. This results in the
purchase of more Units when the Unit Value is low and fewer Units when the Unit
Value is high. Therefore, the purchase of Units under Dollar Cost Averaging in a
rising or falling market will result in your average cost per Unit being less
than the average price per Unit. 
    


For example, assume that you request $60 per month be transferred from the Money
Fund Subaccount to the Growth Fund Subaccount. The following table illustrates
the effect of Dollar Cost Averaging over a four-month period. 

<TABLE>

</TABLE>


The average price per Unit for these purchases is the sum of the prices divided
by the number of monthly Transfers ($14 [divided by] 4), which equals $3.50. The
average cost per Unit that you would pay for these purchases is the total amount
transferred divided by the total number of Units purchased ($240 [divided by]
77), which equals $3.12. The table is illustrative only and not representative
of past or future results.


Under our Dollar Cost Averaging program we will automatically transfer an amount
you specify from your value of the Money Fund Subaccount into other Subaccounts
on a monthly basis. Each Transfer to a Subaccount must be at least $50.00. At
the time you elect to participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging program, the
value of your Money Fund Subaccount must be equal to at least 12 monthly
Transfers. Transfers to the Fixed Account are not permitted under the Dollar
Cost Averaging program. 

                                       11

<PAGE>


After we process your request we will Transfer the amount from your value of the
Money Fund Subaccount to the Subaccount or Subaccounts you select on the
fifteenth day of each calendar month or if the fifteenth is not a Valuation
Date, the next Valuation Date. There is no charge for this program. You may
discontinue the monthly Transfers by sending a written request to us. 


There is no guarantee that the Dollar Cost Averaging program will result in
Contract values that equal or exceed any Payments made or any other advantage or
benefit.

                            CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS 

Surrender Charges 

We do not deduct sales charges from Purchase Payments at the time of investment.
However, a Surrender Charge, as described below, may be assessed against
Withdrawals or a Surrender. The Surrender Charge covers certain expenses
incurred relating to the sale of the Contract including commissions to
registered representatives and promotional expenses. 


Surrender Charges are based upon the number of years between the date Purchase
Payments are deemed received and the date they are Withdrawn or Surrendered: 


  (a) Purchase Payments made prior to October 2, 1995 (the day Aetna assumed the
      Contract) are deemed to have been received on the date of receipt of
      your initial Purchase Payment. 


  (b) Purchase Payments received by us after October 2, 1995 are deemed received
      on the date we actually receive the Purchase Payment. 


The Surrender Charge is a percentage of the amount of each Purchase Payment
withdrawn or surrendered and equals:

No Surrender Charge is imposed against: 

  (a) That portion of a Surrender which does not exceed 10% of current Value of
      the Accumulation Account, providing that there has been no prior
      Withdrawal in the same Contract Year. 


  (b) That portion of your first Withdrawal in a Contract Year which does not
      exceed 10% of the current Value of the Accumulation Account. 


  (c) Any portion of the Accumulation Account which is applied under the Partial
      Annuity Benefit. See "Annuity Benefit -- Partial Annuity Benefit." 


  (d) Withdrawals made under our Systematic Withdrawal Program. See
      "Distributions Under the Contract -- Systematic Withdrawal." 


  (e) The Value of the Accumulation Account upon Annuitization. 

  (f) Any amounts withdrawn or surrendered in excess of Purchase Payments. 

  (g) Any distribution made as the result of the death of the Owner. 

Purchase Payments will be deemed to be withdrawn or surrendered in the order in
which they were deemed received. All Withdrawals and Surrenders will be deducted
first from Purchase Payments and then from amounts in excess of Purchase
Payments. 

                                       12

<PAGE>


In the case of a Withdrawal, the Surrender Charge is deducted from the
Accumulation Account as an additional withdrawal. In the event that your request
for a Withdrawal specifies the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account from which
the Withdrawal is to be made, the Surrender Charge will be deducted equally from
such Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account. Otherwise, the Surrender Charge will
be deducted proportionally based on your value in each Subaccount. If you
Surrender your Contract, the Surrender Charge is deducted from the total amount
to be paid to you. 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge 

Aetna deducts a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge from your value in each
Subaccount equal to, on an annual basis, 1.25% of the daily asset value of which
approximately .95% is attributable to mortality risks and approximately .30% is
attributable to expense risk. The mortality risks assumed by the Company arise
from its contractual obligations (i) to make annuity payments after the Annuity
Date for the life of the Annuitant(s), and (ii) to provide the death benefit
that may be higher than the value of the Accumulation Account. The expense risk
assumed by the Company is that the costs of administering the Contracts and the
Separate Account will exceed the amount recovered from the Administrative Fee.
The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge may be used to cover distribution expenses
of the Contracts because we do not believe the Surrender Charge will be
sufficient. See "Charges and Deductions -- Surrender Charges." This charge is
guaranteed by the Company and cannot be increased. 

Administration Fee 

A daily charge is deducted from your value in each Subaccount equal to, on an
annual basis, .10% of the daily asset value. This fee is intended only to
reimburse us for administrative expenses. We do not expect to recover an amount
in excess of our accumulated expenses through the deduction of the
Administration Fee. We reserve the right to change this fee in the future. 

Annual Contract Fee 

On each Contract anniversary on or before the Annuity Date we will deduct a
$30.00 Annual Contract Fee for the previous Contract Year from your Accumulation
Account. The fee is intended to partially reimburse us for costs of maintaining
the Contracts, the Separate Account and the Fixed Account. If the Contract is
surrendered or annuitized, we will deduct the Annual Contract Fee at the time of
Surrender or Annuitization for the current Contract Year. The deduction will be
made pro rata from your value in each Subaccount and the Fixed Account. The
Annual Contract Fee is not expected to result in a profit to Aetna. We guarantee
that this charge will not be increased. 

State Taxes 

State Taxes are taxes imposed by certain jurisdictions: (i) at the time Purchase
Payments are received; (ii) from values applied to an Annuity Option; or (iii)
from Withdrawals or Surrenders. We will deduct State Taxes when we determine the
tax is due. 


These taxes currently range from 0 to 3.5%. The amount of any such tax will
depend on, among other things, your state of residence, and the status of Aetna
and the insurance laws of that state. These taxes are subject to change and your
tax advisor should be consulted for current information. 

Other Taxes 

We do not expect to incur any Federal or state income tax liability attributable
to investment income or capital gains retained as part of the reserves under the
Contracts. Based upon these expectations, no charge is being made currently to
the Separate Account for Federal or state income taxes which may be attributable
to the Separate Account. 


We will periodically review the need for a charge to the Separate Account for
Federal or state income taxes. Such a charge may be made in future years for any
Federal or state income taxes incurred by us with respect to the Separate
Account or for the economic effect of any such taxes. In the event that we
should incur Federal or state income taxes attributable to investment income or
capital gains retained as part of the reserves under the Contract, the
Accumulation Account of the Contract would be correspondingly adjusted for any
provision or charge for such taxes. 


Under present laws, we incur state and local taxes (in addition to the State
Taxes described above), in several states. At present, we do not charge for
these. Charges for such taxes may be made in the future. 

Fund Expenses 

The value of the assets in the Separate Account will reflect the value of the
Funds as well as the fees and expenses of each Fund. A complete description of
the expenses and deductions for each Fund is found in the accompanying
Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds prospectus. 

                       DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT 

Withdrawals 

Prior to the Annuity Date, you may request a Withdrawal from any portion or all
of your Accumulation Account subject to any Surrender Charges or any required
tax withholding or penalty. You may be subject to a penalty tax for an early
withdrawal. See "Charges and Deductions -- Surrender Charges;" "Federal Tax
Matters -- Other Tax Considerations -- Penalty Tax on Certain Distributions." 

                                       13

<PAGE>


Withdrawals must be made by written request. Your Withdrawal request may specify
the amount of the withdrawal or surrender to be deducted from each Subaccount or
from the Fixed Account; otherwise we will withdraw the amount requested pro rata
from your value in each Subaccount and the Fixed Account. The minimum amount
which can be withdrawn is the lesser of $500 or your value in the Subaccounts
specified or the Fixed Account. The maximum amount which may be withdrawn from
the Fixed Account is limited. See "Appendix A -- The Fixed Account." 


Except for New York residents, we reserve the right to consider any Withdrawal
that would reduce the Value of the Accumulation Account to less than $2,000 to
be a request for Surrender. In this event, the Surrender Value will be paid to
you and the Contract will terminate. See "Distributions Under the Contract --
Surrender Value." 

Systematic Withdrawal 

To the extent permitted by your plan and the Code, under the Systematic
Withdrawal program, you may make regularly scheduled Withdrawals from your
Accumulation Account. See "Federal Tax Matters." To elect a Systematic
Withdrawal, your value of your Accumulation Account must have been at least
$12,000. You may not elect this program if you have taken a prior Withdrawal
during the same Contract Year. The program allows you to prearrange the
Withdrawal of a specified dollar amount of at least $100 per Withdrawal, on a
monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payment basis. The maximum amount that may be
withdrawn each Contract Year is 10% of the Value of the Accumulation Account as
of the previous year end. Surrender Charges are not imposed on Withdrawals under
this program. See "Charges and Deductions -- Surrender Charges." While you are
receiving Systematic Withdrawals, you may not elect to make additional Purchase
Payments under our bank draft investing program or to allocated amounts to the
Subaccounts under our Dollar Cost Averaging program. See "The Contract --
Purchase Payments and Allocating Your Purchase Payments; -- Dollar Cost
Averaging." 


Systematic Withdrawals will begin on the first scheduled Withdrawal date
selected by you following the date we process your request. You should receive
Withdrawal payments by the fifteenth (15th) of the applicable month. Withdrawals
will be deducted pro rata from your value in each Subaccount and the Fixed
Account. 


You may modify or discontinue your Systematic Withdrawal program at any time by
sending a written request to us. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify
the Systematic Withdrawal program by providing you with 30 days' prior written
notice. Such discontinuation would not affect any Systematic Withdrawal program
you currently have in effect. We also reserve the right to assess a processing
fee for the program although we do not currently do so. 


All parties to the Contract are cautioned that the rights of any person to
implement the Systematic Withdrawal program under Qualified Contracts may be
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable provisions of the Code and
of the retirement plan, if any, regardless of the terms and conditions of the
Qualified Contract. 

Surrender 

Prior to the Annuity Date, you may Surrender the Contract for the Surrender
Value subject to any Surrender Charges or required tax withholding or penalty.
See "Charges and Deductions -- Surrender Charges" and "Federal Tax Matters --
Other Tax Considerations." You must submit a written request for Surrender and
return the Contract to us. The Surrender Value will be based on the Unit Values
at the end of the Valuation Period during which the Surrender request is
received. 


You may receive the Surrender Value as a lump sum payment or apply it under one
of the Annuity Options. See "Annuity Benefit -- Annuity Options." No Surrender
Charge will be imposed on any amount being surrendered which is applied under an
Annuity Option. See "Charges and Deductions -- Surrender Charges." 

     Surrender Value 

     The Surrender Value of your Contract varies each day depending on the
investment results of the Subaccounts you have selected. We cannot guarantee any
minimum amount of Surrender Value except for any amount you have allocated to
the Fixed Account. 

The Surrender Value is equal to the value of your Accumulation Account minus
Surrender Charges and State Taxes, if any, and the Annual Contract Fee for the
current Contract Year. See "Charges and Deductions." 

Death Proceeds 

Death proceeds are paid to your Beneficiary in the event any amounts remain in
your Accumulation Account at the time of your death because you have not applied
all your Accumulation Account to one or more Annuity Options. 


If you die prior to age 85, the death proceeds are equal to the greatest of: (i)
the sum of your Purchase Payments less prior Withdrawals, applicable Surrender
Charges on prior Withdrawals, and values applied to the Partial Annuity Benefit;
(ii) the Value of the Accumulation Account; or (iii) the last established
adjusted death benefit described below, plus Purchase Payments, and less
Withdrawals, applicable Surrender Charges on Withdrawals and values applied to
the Partial Annuity Benefit occurring since the last adjusted death benefit was
established. The adjusted death benefit will be established every five years
starting with the fifth Contract anniversary and will equal the Value of the
Accumulation Account on that Contract anniversary. 

                                       14

<PAGE>


If you die on or after age 85, the death proceeds are equal to the Value of the
Accumulation Account. 

If you commit suicide within two years from the date of issue and prior to the
Annuity Date, the death proceeds are equal to the Value of the Accumulation
Account. 


The death proceeds are calculated on the earlier of: (i) the date we receive
proof of death and the Beneficiary makes an election as to an Annuity Option or
a lump sum payment; or (ii) 60 days after our receipt of proof of death. See
"Distributions Under the Contract -- Payment." 


The Beneficiary may elect to receive the death proceeds under any Annuity Option
or as a lump sum payment. See "Annuity Benefit -- Annuity Options." If the
Beneficiary does not elect an Annuity Option or a lump sum payment within 60
days after we have received proof of death, proceeds will be paid in a series of
Income Payments, for as long as the Beneficiary is living, with payments
guaranteed for ten years. However, if the life expectancy of the Beneficiary as
of the date of your death is less than ten years, the death proceeds will be
paid in a series of Income Payments for as long as the Beneficiary is living,
with payments guaranteed for five years. 


If the Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract and your spouse is the Beneficiary,
your spouse can elect to receive either the death proceeds or assume Contract
ownership and continue the Contract as if you had not died. See "Federal Tax
Matters." 

Payment 

Payment of any Withdrawal, Surrender, or lump sum death proceeds from the
Separate Account will usually occur within seven days from the date we receive a
request in good order. We may be permitted to defer such payment if: (i) the New
York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or
trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted; (ii) an emergency exists as
defined by the SEC or the SEC requires that trading be restricted; or (iii) the
SEC permits a delay for protection of Owners. 


We may defer payment of any Withdrawal or Surrender from the Fixed Account for
up to six months from the date we receive your written request. 


Because you assume the investment risk with respect to amounts allocated to the
Separate Account and because certain Surrenders are subject to the Surrender
Charge, the total amount paid upon Surrender of the Contract may be more or less
than the total Purchase Payments made. 

                                ANNUITY BENEFIT 

Annuitization 

Annuitization allows you to apply some or all of your Accumulation Account to an
Annuity Option that will provide a series of fixed Income Payments. The date an
Annuity Option becomes effective is the Annuity Date for that option. If you
elect a partial annuity you will have more than one Annuity Date. 

Partial Annuity Benefit 

After the first Contract Year you may withdraw a portion of your Accumulation
Account, free of Surrender Charge, to purchase a single premium immediate
annuity issued by us or one of our affiliates. The value is withdrawn as of the
Annuity Date. The remaining portion of your Accumulation Account continues to
accumulate in the Fixed Account and the Subaccounts you have selected. The
Partial Annuity Benefit cannot be elected by residents of New York. 


The Partial Annuity Benefit must be elected in writing and the minimum amount
which may be annuitized is $10,000. You may not elect the Partial Annuity
Benefit if it will reduce the value of your Accumulation Account to less than
$2,000, or if the annual Income Payment would be less than $100. Unless you
specify otherwise, we will withdraw the annuitized amount pro rata from your
Accumulation Account Value in each Subaccount and the Fixed Account. The maximum
amount that may be withdrawn from the Fixed Account each calendar year to apply
to a Partial Annuity Benefit is limited. See "Appendix A -- The Fixed Account." 

Annuity Date 

Unless elected otherwise, the Annuity Date for any amounts not previously
annuitized will be the later of the 10th Contract anniversary or the Contract
anniversary nearest the 65th birthday of the Annuitant. All amounts must be
annuitized by the Contract anniversary nearest the 85th birthday of the
Annuitant. 


You may change the Annuity Date by written request at least 30 days before both
the previously selected Annuity Date and the new Annuity Date. Without our
approval, the new Annuity Date cannot be earlier than the tenth Contract
anniversary if the Annuitant's age is 75 years or less on the Contract Date or
later than the Contract anniversary nearest the Annuitant's 85th birthday. In
addition, for Qualified Contracts, certain provisions of your retirement plan
and/or the Code may further restrict your choice of an Annuity Date. See
"Federal Tax Matters." 

                                       15

<PAGE>


Annuity Options 

The Annuity Value will be paid in the form of a fixed annuity according to the
Annuity Option you choose. Federal income tax laws may restrict the availability
of certain Annuity Options for certain Qualified Contracts. See "Federal Tax
Matters." Upon commencement of Income Payments you are not permitted to change
your Annuity Option. 


In the event that you have not chosen an Annuity Option, we will make Income
Payments to the Annuitant during the lifetime of the Annuitant with payments
guaranteed for ten years. 


Option 1. Annuity Certain -- We will make equal payments to the Annuitant for a
guaranteed term which cannot be less than five years nor more than 30 years. If
the Annuitant dies before the end of the guaranteed term, payments will continue
to be made to the Beneficiary for the duration of the guaranteed term. 


Option 2. Life Only or Life with Term Certain -- We will make equal payments to
the Annuitant during the lifetime of the Annuitant. An election may be made to
guarantee payments for a term of 10 or 20 years. If the Annuitant dies before
the end of any guaranteed term, payments will continue to the Beneficiary for
the duration of that term. If no guaranteed term is selected, payments will be
made only while the Annuitant is living. Therefore, it is possible that only one
payment will be made if the Annuitant dies before the second payment. 


Option 3. Joint and Survivor Annuity -- We will make payments to the Annuitant
or joint Annuitant while either of them is living. A joint Annuitant must be
named at the time this option is chosen. The age and sex of both the Annuitant
and joint Annuitant will be used to determine payments. If one Annuitant dies,
payments will continue to the surviving Annuitant. Payments will cease upon the
death of the Annuitant last to die. Therefore, it is possible that only one
payment will be made if both Annuitants die before the second payment. 


In addition to these options, you may choose any other Annuity Option agreed
upon by us. 

Income Payments 

Income Payments will be based upon the Annuity Option selected, the age and sex
of an Annuitant when payments begin, the frequency of payments and any scheduled
changes in the amount of Income Payments. 


At the time an Annuity Option becomes effective, we will require proof of the
age and sex of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant. The age used to calculate
payments under an Annuity Option will be the Annuitant's age as of the
Annuitant's nearest birthday on the Annuity Date. From time to time, we may
require proof that the Annuitant or Beneficiary is living when payment is
contingent upon the survival of such person. 


At the time the Annuity Option commences, payments will be calculated on a fixed
basis using the greater of: (i) the rates guaranteed in the Contract; or (ii)
more favorable rates which we then offer to this class of Contracts. 


You may elect payments to be made to the Annuitant on an annual, semi- annual,
quarterly or monthly basis, provided each payment is at least $100. If the value
of your Accumulation Account is less than $2,000 or your payment on an annual
basis is less than $100, we will pay the Annuity Value as a single sum. Such
payment will be in full settlement and will terminate this Contract. 

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS 

Introduction 

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. This
summary does not address all of the tax consequences of ownership of a Contract
or of distributions under a Contract. You should consult your tax advisor in
order to understand the tax consequences of any transaction. This summary is
based upon our understanding of the existing federal income tax laws as they are
currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. No representation is made
as to the likelihood of the continuation of the existing federal income tax laws
or of their current interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service.
Additionally, no attempt has been made to consider any applicable state or other
laws. 


This summary assumes that Qualified Contracts are used to provide benefits to
individual participants under certain retirement plans which qualify for special
federal income tax treatment under sections 219, 401, 403 or 408 of the Code.
The ultimate effects of federal income taxes on the Value of the Accumulation
Account, on Income Payments, and on the economic benefits provided to you, the
Annuitant, or the Beneficiary under the Contract depend on the type of
retirement plan under which a Contract is purchased, on the tax and employment
status of the individual concerned, and on our tax status. 

Aetna's Tax Status 

Aetna is taxed as a life insurance company under Part 1 of Subchapter L of the
Code. Because the Separate Account is not a separate entity, and its operations
form a part of Aetna's business, the Separate Account will not be taxed
separately. 

                                       16

<PAGE>


Investment income and net capital gains realized on the sale or exchange of the
assets of the Separate Account will be reinvested and taken into account in
determining the Unit Value. Under existing federal income tax laws, the
investment income and net capital gains of the Separate Account will not be
taxed to the extent that these items are retained as part of the reserves under
the Contract. However, if Aetna incurs any federal income taxes attributable to
the Separate Account, we reserve the right to make a charge to the Separate
Account for the payment of such taxes. 

Taxation of Annuity Contracts in General 

     Increases in the Accumulation Account 

     Section 72 of the Code governs the taxation of annuity contracts. An Owner
who is a natural person generally is not taxed on increases in the Accumulation
Account until some form of distribution occurs. The assignment, pledge, or
agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the Accumulation Account, or the
application of a portion of your Accumulation Account to the Partial Annuity
Benefit, generally will be treated as a distribution to you. The taxable portion
of such a distribution is taxed as ordinary income. 

If an Owner is not a natural person, then the Owner generally must include in
gross income any increase in the excess of the value of the Contract over the
Owner's "investment in the Contract" during the taxable year. Certain exceptions
to this rule may apply and should be discussed with your tax advisor. 

     Distributions Received Prior to the Annuity Date 

     Amounts received before the Annuity Date pursuant to a Withdrawal or
Surrender under a Non-Qualified Contract generally are treated as taxable income
to the extent that the value of the Contract immediately before the Withdrawal
exceeds the "investment in the Contract" at that time. Any additional amount
withdrawn is not taxable. In the case of a Withdrawal or Surrender under a
Qualified Contract a portion of the amount received is taxable based on the
ratio of the "investment in the Contract" to the individual's balance in the
retirement plan, which is generally the value of the Contract. 

The "investment in the Contract" generally equals the total amount of any
Purchase Payments made by or on behalf of an individual under a Contract that
were not excluded from the gross income of the individual. For Qualified
Contracts, the "investment in the Contract" will often be zero. 

     Income Payments 

     In general, there is no tax on that portion of each Income Payment which
represents the same ratio that the "investment in the Contract" bears to the
total expected value of the Income Payments for the term of the payments. After
the "investment in the Contract" is recovered, the full amount of additional
Income Payments, if any, is taxable. 

     Death Proceeds 

     Death proceeds which are distributed in a lump sum are taxed in the same
manner as the proceeds of a Surrender of the Contract. Death proceeds
distributed under an annuity option are taxed in the same manner as Income
Payments. 

In order for a Non-Qualified Contract to be treated as an annuity contract for
federal income tax purposes, section 72(s) of the Code generally requires the
Contract to provide that (a) if the Owner dies on or after the Annuity Date but
prior to the time the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the
remaining interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method
of distribution being used as of the date of the death of the Owner; and (b) if
the Owner dies prior to the Annuity Date, the death proceeds must be distributed
within five years after the date of the death of the Owner. These rules do not
apply, however, where the surviving spouse of the Owner is the designated
beneficiary under the Contract, and thus is treated under section 72(s) of the
Code as a successor Owner of the Contract. The Non-Qualified Contracts are
intended to comply with the requirements of section 72(s), and will be modified
if necessary to ensure compliance with any future interpretations of section
72(s). 

Qualified Contracts 

The Qualified Contract is designed for use with several types of retirement
plans. Special favorable tax treatment is available for Qualified Contracts,
although the tax rules applicable to such Contracts vary according to the type
of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. Adverse tax consequences may
result from: (i) contributions to Qualified Contracts in excess of specified
limits; (ii) distributions from Qualified Contracts prior to age 59 1/2 (subject
to certain exceptions); (iii) failure to make distributions from Qualified
Contracts that conform to specified minimum distribution rules; (iv) the receipt
of aggregate distributions from Qualified Contracts in excess of a specified
annual amount; and (v) other circumstances. 


Aetna makes no attempt to provide more than general information about plans
which qualify for special federal income tax treatment under the Code. Owners
and participants under retirement plans, as well as Annuitants and
Beneficiaries, are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under
Qualified Contracts may be subject to the terms and conditions of the retirement
plans themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Qualified
Contract issued in connection with such plans. Purchasers of Qualified Contracts
for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal counsel and tax
advisor regarding the suitability of a Qualified Contract for their retirement
plan. 

                                       17

<PAGE>


    (a) Section 403(b) Plans. Under section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by
  public school systems and certain tax- exempt organizations to purchase
  annuity contracts for their employees are excludable from the gross income of
  the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, these payments may be
  subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes. 


    (b) Individual Retirement Annuities. Sections 219 and 408 of the Code permit
  individuals or their employers to contribute to an individual retirement
  program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity or "IRA". Individual
  Retirement Annuities are subject to complex limitations on the amounts which
  may be contributed and deducted and on the times when distributions may
  commence. In addition, distributions from certain other types of retirement
  plans may be rolled over into an Individual Retirement Annuity on a
  tax-deferred basis. 


       (c) Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans and H.R 10 Plans. Sections
401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit employers to establish various types of
retirement plans for employees, and permit self-employed individuals to
establish retirement plans for themselves and their employees which qualify for
special federal income tax treatment. These retirement plans may permit the
purchase of the Qualified Contracts to provide benefits under the plans. 

Other Tax Considerations 

     Penalty Tax on Certain Distributions 

     In the case of any taxable distribution from a Non-Qualified Contract,
there may be a penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount of the
distribution. In general, however, this penalty tax does not apply to
distributions: (1) made on or after the date on which the Owner attains age 
59 1/2; (2) made as a result of death or disability of the Owner; or (3)
received in substantially equal periodic payments as a life annuity. Other tax
penalties may apply to certain distributions under a Qualified Contract.

     Transfers of Ownership or Benefits 

     A transfer of ownership of a Contract, or the designation of an Annuitant
or other Beneficiary who is not also the Owner may result in tax consequences to
the Owner, Annuitant, or Beneficiary that are not discussed herein. Owners
contemplating such a transfer or assignment should contact their tax advisors
with respect to the potential tax effects of such transactions. 

     Multiple Contracts 

     Non-Qualified Contracts that are issued by Aetna (or one of our affiliates)
to the same Owner during any calendar year may be treated as one annuity
contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in gross income. Any
person considering the purchase of more than one annuity contract should consult
their tax advisor. 

     Section 1035 

     Section 1035 of the Code provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized
on the exchange of an annuity contract for another. Special rules and procedures
apply to exchanges subject to section 1035. You should consult your tax advisor
as to how to proceed if you intend to take advantage of the tax benefits
provided for exchanges under section 1035. 

     Investor Control 

     It is possible that regulations or other administrative guidance will be
issued concerning the extent to which owners may direct their investments to
particular divisions of a separate account without being treated for tax
purposes as the owners of the assets in such divisions. Aetna reserves the right
to modify the Contracts, as necessary, to prevent the Owner from being treated
as owning the assets in the Subaccounts. 

     Income Tax Withholding 

     Distributions are generally subject to withholding for the federal income
tax liability of the recipient at rates which vary according to the type of
distribution and the tax status of the recipient. However, for distributions
which are not "eligible rollover distributions" under Qualified Contracts, the
recipient may elect not to have withholding apply. "Eligible rollover
distributions" under Qualified Contracts are subject to withholding unless they
are transferred directly to an eligible individual retirement account, qualified
retirement plan, or section 403(b) plan. 

                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT 

Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company is the principal underwriter of the
Contracts. Third party broker-dealers may also serve as distributors. Aetna is
registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Although Aetna does not intend to offer
or sell any new Contracts, additional Purchase Payments will continue to be
accepted under existing in-force Contracts. Aetna may enter into contracts with
various broker/dealers to assist in accepting additional Purchase Payments. The
compensation paid by Aetna for this service is not anticipated to be greater
than 6.5% of Purchase Payments made. 

                                       18

                                 MISCELLANEOUS 

Voting Rights 

As previously stated, all of the assets of the Separate Account are shares of a
corresponding portfolio of the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds held in the
Subaccounts of the Separate Account. Based on our view of present applicable
law, we will vote the Fund shares held in the Separate Account at meetings of
shareholders in accordance with instructions received from Owners having an
interest in the Subaccount. However, if the 1940 Act or any related regulations
should be amended, or if present interpretations change, and we determine that
we are permitted to vote the Fund shares in our own right, we may elect to do
so. 


You hold a voting interest in each Fund in which you have value in the
corresponding Subaccount. The number of Fund shares which are attributable to
you is determined by dividing your value in a particular Subaccount by the net
asset value of one Fund share. The number of votes which you have a right to
cast will be determined as of the record date established by each Fund. 


We will solicit voting instructions by mail prior to the shareholder meetings.
Each person having a voting interest in a Subaccount will be sent proxy
material, reports and other materials relating to the appropriate Funds. If we
do not receive your instructions prior to the meeting, your shares as well as
any shares not attributable to Owners will be voted in the same proportion as
the instructions received from all Owners providing timely instructions. 

Changes in the Contract 

Generally, we may not change or amend the Contract without the consent of the
Owner, except as expressly provided in the Contract. However, we may change or
amend the Contract to ensure that the Contract complies with any state law,
federal law or the Code. 

Incontestability 

The Contract is incontestable. 

Nonparticipating 

The Contract is nonparticipating. No dividends are payable and the Contract will
not share in the profits or surplus earnings of Aetna. 

Assignment 

During the lifetime of the Annuitant, the Owner of any Non-Qualified Contract
may assign the Contract. An assignment is a transfer of all or some of the
Contract rights and privileges to another person. A change of Owner is an
absolute assignment. 


Generally, a Qualified Contract may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the
performance of an obligation unless permitted by your qualified retirement plan
or by laws relevant to your Qualified Contract. 


No assignment of a Contract will be binding on us unless made in writing and
sent to us at our Home Office. The Company will use reasonable procedures to
confirm that the assignment is authentic, including verification of signature.
If the Company fails to follow its procedures, it would be liable for any losses
to you directly resulting from the failure. Otherwise, we are not responsible
for the validity of any assignment. The rights of the Owner and the interest of
the Annuitant and any Beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any assignee
of record. 

Annual Contract Report 

Prior to the Annuity Date we will mail you quarterly reports showing: 

  (1) the Value of any amounts held in,

      (a) the Fixed Account; and

      (b) the Subaccounts under the Separate Account; 

  (2) the number of any Subaccount Units; and 

  (3) the Subaccounts Unit Value. 

Misstatement of Age or Sex 

If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the benefits payable
under the Contract will be adjusted to those that the Accumulation Value would
have purchased based on the correct age and sex. Any overpayments or
underpayments we make as a result of such misstatement will be respectively
charged against or credited to the Income Payments to be made so as to adjust
for any overpayment or underpayment. Sex is not a factor when annuity payments
are based on unisex annuity payment rate tables. 

                                       19

<PAGE>


Telephone Transfers 

You automatically have the right to make transfers among the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account by telephone. Aetna has enacted reasonable procedures to prevent
abuses of transactions by telephone. The procedures include requiring the use of
a personal identification number (PIN) in order to execute transactions and to
ensure authenticity, the Company records all calls on the 800 line. You are
responsible for safeguarding your PIN, and for keeping your Accumulation Account
information confidential. If Aetna fails to follow these procedures it would be
liable for any losses to you resulting from the failure. 

Legal Proceedings 

We and our Board of Directors know of no material legal proceedings pending to
which the Separate Account is a party or which would materially affect the
Separate Account. 

Legal Matters

                                   APPENDIX A
                               THE FIXED ACCOUNT 

Net Purchase Payments and Transfers allocated to the Fixed Account become part
of our General Account. As a result of exemptive and exclusionary provisions of
the Federal securities laws, interests in the Fixed Account have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") nor is the Fixed
Account an Investment Company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the Fixed
Account nor any interest in the Fixed Account will generally be subject to
either the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. Disclosure regarding the General Account
and the Fixed Account Option, however, may be subject to generally applicable
provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the accuracy and
completeness of the statements. The SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this
Prospectus which relate to the Fixed Account. 


The Fixed Account option guarantees an interest rate for one year from the date
amounts are allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. At the end of each
year, the current rate will be guaranteed for the next one year period. The
guaranteed rate will never be less than 4.5% annually. 


The guaranteed one year rate will be based upon Aetna's investment income earned
on invested assets and the amortization of any capital gains and/or losses
realized on the sale of invested assets. We assume the risk of investment gains
or losses by guaranteeing the one year rate, while you bear the risk that the
guaranteed one year rate may not exceed 4.5%. 


Some states require that any balance you maintain in the Fixed Account be at
least $2,000. 

Transfers, Withdrawals or Surrenders 

You may make Withdrawals or Surrenders from the Fixed Account subject to
Surrender Charges or any required tax withholding or penalty. See "Charges and
Deductions -- Surrender Charges;" "Federal Tax Matters." You may also make
transfers into or out of the Fixed Account. 


The minimum amount which you may Withdraw or Transfer from the Fixed Account is
the lesser of $500 or your value in the Fixed Account. The maximum amount which
you may Withdraw, Transfer or apply to the Partial Annuity Benefit each calendar
year is limited to 25% of your value of the Fixed Account. If any request for a
Withdrawal, Transfer, or exercise of the Partial Annuity Benefit would reduce
your value in the Fixed Account to less than $2,000, you have the right to
increase your request to include the balance. We may defer payment of any
Withdrawal or Surrender from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the
date we receive your written request. 


There is no limit on the number of Transfers into the Fixed Account. However,
the sum of the amounts which can be allocated to and transferred into the Fixed
Account over the life of the Contract is limited to $250,000. We reserve the
right to change this limit.

                        GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

   
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company") is a stock life 
insurance company which was organized under the insurance laws of the State of
Connecticut in 1976. Through a merger, it succeeded to the business of Aetna 
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly Participating Annuity Life
Insurance Company organized in 1954). As of December 31, 1996, the Company had
$30.1 billion invested through its products, including $15.0 billion in its
separate accounts (of which the Company oversees the management of $10.5 
billion) and $1.1 billion in its mutual funds offered outside of its separate
accounts. As of December 31, 1995, it ranked among the top 2% of all U.S. life
insurance companies based on assets. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc., which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary 
of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc., and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of 
Aetna Inc. The Company is engaged in the business of issuing life insurance 
policies and annuity contracts in all states of the United States. The Company's
Home Office is located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156.

Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of CLIAC
Separate Account A as of September 30, 1995, and the related statements of
operations and changes in net assets for the period from January 1, 1995 to
September 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 1995, by correspondence
with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's ultimate
parent was put into rehabilitation on August 12, 1994. As discussed in note 8 to
the financial statements, the Company entered into an Assumption Reinsurance
Agreement on May 3, 1995 and this agreement was closed on October 2, 1995.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CLIAC Separate Account A at
September 30, 1995, the results of its operations and the changes in its net
assets for the period from January 1, 1995 to September 30, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.


                                                           KPMG Peat Marwick LLP

                            CLIAC SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1995


(1)    Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

       CLIAC Separate Account A (the "Separate Account" or "Separate Account A")
           is a separate account of Confederation Life Insurance and Annuity
           Company (a stock life insurance company) (the "Sponsor"), a wholly
           owned subsidiary of Confederation Financial Holdings, Inc. ("CFH").
           CFH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Confederation Life Insurance
           Company (U.S.) in Rehabilitation ("CLIC U.S."), an estate formed from
           the U.S. division of Confederation Life Insurance Company of Canada
           ("CLIC Canada") which is a mutual company incorporated under the laws
           of Canada. The Separate Account was established for the purpose of
           funding variable annuity contracts issued by the Sponsor. The
           Separate Account became registered as a unit investment trust under
           the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, during 1990, and
           recorded its first policy sale on August 23, 1990.

       Currently, the Separate Account has eight Subaccounts, each of which
           invests exclusively in shares of the corresponding Portfolios of the
           Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (the "Oppenheimer Funds"): the
           Oppenheimer Money Fund, the Oppenheimer Bond Fund, the Oppenheimer
           Capital Appreciation Fund, the Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund,
           the Oppenheimer Growth Fund, the Oppenheimer High Income Fund, the
           Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies Fund and the Oppenheimer Strategic
           Bond Fund. The contractholder may allocate all or part of the initial
           premium and additional premiums, if any, to one or more Subaccounts
           of the Separate Account or to the Sponsor's General Account. The
           Sponsor's General Account consists of all assets owned by the Sponsor
           other than those in the Separate Account.

       CLIC Canada was placed in liquidation on August 11, 1994 by the Office of
           the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, the federal regulator
           of insurance companies in Canada. CLIC U.S. was placed under
           rehabilitation pursuant to the laws of the State of Michigan on
           August 12, 1994 by the Circuit Court for the County of Ingham, State
           of Michigan. The Sponsor was placed under rehabilitation pursuant to
           the laws of the State of Georgia on September 12, 1994 by the
           Superior Court for the County of Fulton, State of Georgia.

       While net assets of the Separate Account do not inure to the benefit of
           creditors of the Sponsor, the Sponsor, however, remains responsible
           to pay certain policy benefits that may exist in excess of available
           Separate Account net assets. The Sponsor's liabilities in this
           regard, however, have been transferred to another insurance company
           as a result of the reinsurance agreement discussed in note 8.

       Basis of Presentation 
       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
           with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
           financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
           principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
           effect amounts reported therein. Although actual results could differ
           from these estimates, any such differences are expected to be
           immaterial to the net assets of the Separate Account.

       Investments
       The investments in the Oppenheimer Funds are stated at the closing market
           values per share on September 30, 1995. Investment transactions are
           recorded on the trade date. The difference between the cost and
           current market value of investments owned is recorded as an
           unrealized gain or loss on investments. Realized gains and losses are
           calculated on a "first-in, first-out" basis.

       Dividends
       Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date and reflect the daily
           dividends declared by the Oppenheimer Funds from their accumulated
           net investment income. Dividends paid to the Separate Account are
           automatically reinvested in shares of the Oppenheimer Funds.

       Federal Income Taxes
       Operations of the Separate Account form a part of, and are taxed with,
           operations of the Sponsor, which is taxed as a "life insurance
           company" under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no
           federal income taxes are payable with respect to the Separate
           Account's net investment income and the net realized gain on
           investments.

(2)    Mortality, Expense and Administrative (M, E and A) Charges to Sponsor

       Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
       A daily charge, equal to, on an annual basis, 1.25% of the daily net
           asset value is deducted from each Subaccount to compensate the
           Sponsor for certain mortality and expense risks assumed. The
           mortality risk arises from the Sponsor's obligation to make income
           payments regardless of how long all annuitants may live. The expense
           risk assumed by the Sponsor is the risk that actual administrative
           costs will exceed the amount recovered through the administrative
           charges.

       Administrative Expense Charge
       A daily  charge,  equal to, on an annual  basis,  .10% of the daily net
           asset value is deducted from each Subaccount to reimburse the Sponsor
           for administrative expenses.

(3)    Surrender Charges and Annual Contract Fee

       Surrender Charges
       There are no sales expenses deducted from premiums at the time premiums
           are paid. If a contract has not been in force for six years, upon
           surrender or for certain withdrawals, a surrender charge is deducted
           from the proceeds. Surrender charges may be decreased or waived on
           contracts meeting certain restrictions as determined by the Sponsor.

       Annual Contract Fee
       An  annual contract fee of $30 is deducted on each contract anniversary
           date, and on any day the contract is surrendered, if such surrender
           occurs on any day other than the contract anniversary date. Annual
           contract fees of $174,510 were assessed for the period from January
           1, 1995 to September 30, 1995.

                                                                     (Continued)

(7)    Related Party Transactions

       As of September 30, 1995, Separate Account A has recorded distributions
           Payable to Sponsor in the accompanying statement of assets and
           liabilities for funds requested from Oppenheimer for redemptions
           which have not been transferred to the Sponsor for distribution.

(8)    Assumption Reinsurance Agreement

       On May 3, 1995, the Sponsor entered into an Assumption Reinsurance
           Agreement with Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ALIAC")
           under which ALIAC would assume liability through reinsurance for all
           of the Sponsor's separate account policies as well as those
           individual life and GIC policyholders who elected to be reinsured
           (subject to the approval of the various states) and subject to the
           fulfillment of certain other closing conditions. This assumption
           reinsurance transaction was closed on October 2, 1995, effective
           October 1, 1995. Thereafter the Separate Account A became Variable
           Annuity Account G of ALIAC.

Variable Annuity Account G

Notes to Financial Statements - December 31, 1996

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Variable Annuity Account G ("Account") is a separate account established by
     Aetna Life  Insurance  and  Annuity  Company  and is  registered  under the
     Investment  Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment  trust. The Account is
     sold  exclusively  for use with the individual  deferred  variable  annuity
     contracts  originally  issued by  Confederation  Life Insurance and Annuity
     Company.  The  Contract  allows  tax-deferred  capital  accumulation  under
     specific  sections of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended.  The
     account commenced operations on October 2, 1995.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect amounts reported  therein.  Although actual results
     could differ from these estimates,  any such differences are expected to be
     immaterial to the net assets of the Account.

     a.  Valuation of Investments
     Investments  in the  following  Funds are stated at the  closing  net asset
     value per share as determined by each Fund on December 31, 1996:

     Oppenheimer Funds
     [bullet]Bond Fund
     [bullet]Capital Appreciation Fund
     [bullet]Global Securities Fund
     [bullet]Growth Fund
     [bullet]High Income Fund
     [bullet]Money Fund
     [bullet]Multiple Strategies Fund
     [bullet]Strategic Bond Fund

     b.  Other
     Investment  transactions  are  accounted  for on a  trade  date  basis  and
     dividend  income  is  recorded  on  the  ex-dividend   date.  The  cost  of
     investments sold is determined by specific identification.

     c.  Federal Income Taxes
     The operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total
     operations of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("Company") which is
     taxed as a life insurance  company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
     as amended.

     d.  Annuity Reserves
     Annuity  reserves held in the Separate  Accounts are computed for currently
     payable  contracts  according  to  the  Progressive   Annuity,   a49,  1971
     Individual Annuity Mortality,  1971 Group Annuity Mortality,  83a, and 1983
     Group Annuity  Mortality tables using various assumed interest rates not to
     exceed seven  percent.  Mortality  experience  is monitored by the Company.
     Charges to annuity reserves for mortality  experience are reimbursed to the
     Company if the reserves  required are less than  originally  estimated.  If
     additional reserves are required, the Company reimburses the Account.

2.   Valuation Period Deductions

     Deductions  by the Account for  mortality and expense risk charges are made
     in accordance with the terms of the contracts and are paid to the Company.

Notes to Financial Statements - December 31, 1996 (continued):

3.   Dividend Income

     On an annual basis, the Funds distribute substantially all of their taxable
     income and realized capital gains to their  shareholders.  Distributions to
     the  Account  are  automatically  reinvested  in shares of the  Funds.  The
     Account's  proportionate share of each Fund's  undistributed net investment
     income  (distributions in excess of net investment  income) and accumulated
     net realized gain (loss) on investments is included in net unrealized  gain
     (loss) in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

4.   Purchases and Sales of Investments

     The cost of purchases  and proceeds  from sales of  investments  other than
     short-term  investments for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the period
     ended  December  31,  1995  aggregated   $105,939,733   and   $123,718,459;
     $317,090,950 and $27,617,465, respectively.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity  Company and 
    Contract Owners of Variable Annuity Account G:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Aetna
Life Insurance and Annuity Company Variable Annuity Account G (the "Account") as
of December 31, 1996, the related statements of operations and changes in net
assets for the year then ended and the three-month period ended December 31,
1995 and condensed financial information for the year ended December 31, 1996.
These financial statements and condensed financial information are the
responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and condensed financial information based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and condensed
financial information 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, 1996, 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 and condensed financial information
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company Variable Annuity Account G
as of December 31, 1996, the results of its operations and the changes in its
net assets for the year then ended and for the three-month period ended December
31, 1995 and the condensed financial information for the year ended December 31,
1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Shareholder and Board of Directors
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholder's
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aetna Life Insurance
and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

            AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
         (A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries
     (collectively, the "Company") is a provider of financial services and life
     insurance products in the United States. The Company has two business
     segments: financial services and individual life insurance.

     Financial services products include annuity contracts that offer a variety
     of funding and payout options for individual and employer-sponsored
     retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403,
     408 and 457, and non-qualified annuity contracts. These contracts may be
     deferred or immediate ("payout annuities"). Financial services also include
     investment advisory services, financial planning and pension plan
     administrative services.

     Individual life insurance products include universal life, variable
     universal life, traditional whole life and term insurance.

     Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include Aetna Life Insurance and
     Annuity Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aetna Insurance Company
     of America and Aetna Private Capital, Inc. Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity
     Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.
     ("HOLDCO"). HOLDCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement
     Services, Inc., whose ultimate parent is Aetna Inc. ("Aetna").

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles. Certain reclassifications have
     been made to 1995 and 1994 financial information to conform to the 1996
     presentation.

     Future Application of Accounting Standards

     Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
     Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, was
     issued in June 1996. This statement provides accounting and reporting
     standards for transfers of financial assets and extinguishments of
     liabilities. Transactions covered by this statement would include
     securitizations, sales of partial interests in assets, repurchase
     agreements and securities lending. This statement requires that after a
     transfer of financial assets, an entity would recognize any assets it
     controls and liabilities it has incurred. An entity would not recognize
     assets when control has been surrendered or liabilities have been
     satisfied. Portions of this statement are effective for each of 1997 and
     1998 financial statements and early adoption is not permitted. The Company
     does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its
     financial position or results of operations.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     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 amounts reported in the financial statements
     and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results
     using those estimates.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market instruments
     and other debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.

     Investments

     All of the Company's debt and equity securities are classified as available
     for sale and carried at fair value. These securities are written down (as
     realized capital losses) for other than temporary declines in value.
     Unrealized capital gains and losses related to available for sale other
     than amounts allocable to experience rated contractholders, are reflected
     in shareholder's equity, net of related taxes.

     Fair values for debt and equity securities are based on quoted market
     prices or dealer quotations. Where quoted market prices or dealer
     quotations are not available, fair values are measured utilizing quoted
     market prices for similar securities or by using discounted cash flow
     methods. Cost for mortgage-backed securities is adjusted for unamortized
     premiums and discounts, which are amortized using the interest method over
     the estimated remaining term of the securities, adjusted for anticipated
     prepayments.

     Purchases and sales of debt and equity securities are recorded on the trade
     date.

     The investment in affiliated mutual funds primarily represents an
     investment in the Aetna Series Fund, Inc., a retail mutual fund which has
     been seeded by the Company, and is carried at fair value.

     Mortgage loans and policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances,
     net of impairment reserves. Sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the
     closing date.

     Short-term investments, consisting primarily of money market instruments
     and other debt issues purchased with a maturity of 91 days to one year, are
     considered available for sale and are carried at fair value, which
     approximates amortized cost.

            AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
         (A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Futures contracts are carried at fair value and require daily cash
     settlement. Changes in the fair value of futures contracts that qualify as
     hedges are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the hedged asset or
     liability. Deferred gains or losses on such futures contracts are amortized
     over the life of the acquired asset or liability as a yield adjustment or
     through net realized capital gains or losses upon disposal of an asset.
     Changes in the fair value of futures contracts that do not qualify as
     hedges are recorded in net realized capital gains or losses. Hedge
     designation requires specific asset or liability identification, a
     probability at inception of high correlation with the position underlying
     the hedge, and that high correlation be maintained throughout the hedge
     period. If a hedging instrument ceases to be highly correlated with the
     position underlying the hedge, hedge accounting ceases at that date and
     excess gains and losses on the hedging instrument are reflected in net
     realized capital gains or losses.

     Swap agreements which are designated as interest rate risk management
     instruments at inception are accounted for using the accrual method.
     Accordingly, the difference between amounts paid and received on such
     agreements is reported in net investment income. There is no recognition in
     the Consolidated Balance Sheets for changes in the fair value of the
     agreement.

     Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

     Certain costs of acquiring insurance business are deferred. These costs,
     all of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new
     and renewal business, consist principally of commissions, certain expenses
     of underwriting and issuing contracts, and certain agency expenses. For
     fixed ordinary life contracts, such costs are amortized over expected
     premium-paying periods (up to 20 years). For universal life and certain
     annuity contracts, such costs are amortized in proportion to estimated
     gross profits and adjusted to reflect actual gross profits over the life of
     the contracts (up to 20 years).

     Deferred policy acquisition costs are written off to the extent that it is
     determined that future policy premiums and investment income or gross
     profits are not adequate to cover related losses and expenses.

     Insurance Reserve Liabilities

     Future Policy Benefits include reserves for universal life, immediate
     annuities with life contingent payouts and traditional life insurance
     contracts. Reserves for universal life contracts are equal to cumulative
     deposits less charges and withdrawals plus credited interest thereon.
     Reserves for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts and
     traditional life insurance contracts are computed on the basis of assumed
     investment yield, mortality, and expenses, including a margin for adverse
     deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by plan, year of issue and
     policy duration. Reserve interest rates range from 2.25% to 12.00%.
     Investment yield is based on the Company's experience. Mortality and
     withdrawal rate assumptions are based on relevant Aetna experience and are
     periodically reviewed against both industry standards and experience.

         (A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Policyholders' Funds Left With the Company include reserves for deferred
     annuity investment contracts and immediate annuities without life
     contingent payouts. Reserves on such contracts are equal to cumulative
     deposits less charges and withdrawals plus credited interest thereon (rates
     range from 4.00% to 7.00%), net of adjustments for investment experience
     that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited interest.
     Reserves on contracts subject to experience rating reflect the rights of
     contractholders, plan participants and the Company.

     Unpaid claims for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported
     losses and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.

     Premiums, Charges Assessed Against Policyholders, Benefits and Expenses

     For universal life and certain annuity contracts, charges assessed against
     policyholders' funds for the cost of insurance, surrender charges,
     actuarial margin and other fees are recorded as revenue in charges assessed
     against policyholders. Other amounts received for these contracts are
     reflected as deposits and are not recorded as revenue. Life insurance
     premiums, other than premiums for universal life and certain annuity
     contracts, are recorded as premium revenue when due. Related policy
     benefits are recorded in relation to the associated premiums or gross
     profit so that profits are recognized over the expected lives of the
     contracts. When annuity payments begin under contracts with life contingent
     payouts that were initially investment contracts, the accumulated balance
     in the account is treated as a single premium for the purchase of an
     annuity, reflected as an offsetting amount in both premiums and current and
     future benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

     Separate Accounts

     Assets held under variable universal life and variable annuity contracts
     are segregated in Separate Accounts and are invested, as designated by the
     contractholder or participant under a contract, in shares of Aetna Variable
     Fund, Aetna Income Shares, Aetna Variable Encore Fund, Aetna Investment
     Advisers Fund, Inc., Aetna GET Fund, the Aetna Series Fund Inc., or the
     Aetna Generation Funds (collectively, "Funds"), which are managed by the
     Company, or other selected mutual funds not managed by the Company.

     Separate Accounts assets and liabilities are carried at fair value except
     for those relating to a guaranteed interest option. Since the Company bears
     the investment risk where the contract is held to maturity, the assets of
     the Separate Account supporting the guaranteed interest option are carried
     at an amortized cost of $515.6 million for 1996 (fair value $523.0 million)
     and $322.2 million for 1995 (fair value $343.9 million). Reserves relating
     to the guaranteed interest option are maintained at fund value and reflect
     interest credited at rates ranging from 4.10% to 8.00% in 1996 and 4.50% to
     8.38% in 1995.

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Separate Accounts assets and liabilities are shown as separate captions in
     the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deposits, investment income and net
     realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Separate Accounts
     are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income (with the
     exception of realized capital gains and losses on the sale of assets
     supporting the guaranteed interest option). The Consolidated Statements of
     Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the Separate Accounts.

     Income Taxes

     The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of
     Aetna. The Company is taxed at regular corporate rates after adjusting
     income reported for financial statement purposes for certain items.
     Deferred income tax expenses/benefits result from changes during the year
     in cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis and book basis of
     assets and liabilities.

     The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from
     its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time.
     Collateral, primarily cash, which is in excess of the market value of the
     loaned securities, is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and
     retained and invested by the lending agent to generate additional income
     for the Company. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on
     a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market
     value fluctuates. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had loaned
     securities (which are reflected as invested assets) with a market value of
     approximately $444.7 million and $264.5 million, respectively.

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, debt securities carried at $7.6 million and
     $7.4 million, respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory
     authorities.

     The carrying value of non-income producing investments was $0.9 million and
     $0.1 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than
     obligations of the U.S. government, with a carrying value in excess of 10%
     of the Company's shareholder's equity at December 31, 1996.

</TABLE>

     (1)  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately 71% and 81%,
          respectively, of the Company's residential CMO holdings were backed by
          government agencies such as GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC.

     There are various categories of CMOs which are subject to different degrees
     of risk from changes in interest rates and, for nonagency-backed CMOs,
     defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and
     extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in interest
     rates resulting in the repayment of principal from the underlying mortgages
     either earlier or later than originally anticipated.

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately 68% and 79%, respectively, of
     the Company's CMO holdings were in planned amortization class ("PAC") and
     sequential structure tranches, which are subject to less prepayment and
     extension risk than other types of CMO instruments. At December 31, 1996
     and 1995, approximately 3% of the Company's CMO holdings were in the
     interest-only ("IOs") and principal-only ("POs") tranches, which are
     subject to more prepayment and extension risks than other types of CMO
     instruments. Remaining CMO holdings are in other tranches that have
     prepayment and extension risks which fall between the degree of risk
     associated with PACs and sequentials, and IOs and POs.

</TABLE>

     Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
     available market information and judgments about the financial instrument,
     such as estimates of timing and amount of future cash flows. Such estimates
     do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for
     sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial
     instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of
     unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot
     be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the
     disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. In
     evaluating the Company's management of interest rate, price and liquidity
     risks, the fair values of all assets and liabilities should be taken into
     consideration, not only those presented above.

3.   Financial Instruments (Continued)

     The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
     estimating the fair value of the above financial instruments:

     Mortgage loans: Fair values are estimated by discounting expected mortgage
     loan cash flows at market rates which reflect the rates at which similar
     loans would be made to similar borrowers. The rates reflect management's
     assessment of the credit quality and the remaining duration of the loans.

     Investment contract liabilities (included in Policyholders' Funds Left With
     the Company):

     With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at
     interest rates currently being offered by, or available to, the Company for
     similar contracts.

     Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the amount payable to
     the contractholder upon demand. However, the Company has the right under
     such contracts to delay payment of withdrawals which may ultimately result
     in paying an amount different than that determined to be payable on demand.

     The Company uses off-balance-sheet and other financial instruments
     primarily to manage portfolio risks, including interest rate,
     prepayment/call, credit, price, and liquidity risks. In 1996, Treasury
     futures contracts were used to manage interest rate risk in the Company's
     bond portfolio and stock index futures contracts were used to manage price
     risk in the Company's equity portfolio. In 1996 and 1995, interest rate
     swaps and forward commitments to enter into interest rate swaps,
     respectively, were also used to manage interest rate risk in the Company's
     bond portfolio.

     Futures Contracts:

     Futures contracts represent commitments to either purchase or sell
     underlying assets at a specified future date. Futures contracts trade on
     organized exchanges and, therefore, have minimal credit risk. Cash
     settlements are made daily based on changes in the prices of the underlying
     assets. There were no futures contracts open as of December 31, 1996 and
     1995.

3.   Financial Instruments (Continued)

     Interest Rate Swaps:

     Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to
     exchange interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional
     principal amount. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the
     contract and no principal payments are made. A single net payment is
     usually made by one counterparty at each due date or upon termination of
     the contract. The Company would be exposed to credit-related losses in the
     event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments,
     however, the Company controls its exposure to credit risk through credit
     approvals, credit limits and regular monitoring procedures. The credit
     exposure of interest rate swaps is represented by the fair value (market
     value) of contracts with a positive fair value (market value) at the
     reporting date. There were no interest rate swap agreements open as of
     December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1995, the Company had an open forward
     swap agreement with a notional amount of $100.0 million and a fair value of
     $0.1 million.

     During 1995, the Company received $0.4 million for writing call options on
     underlying securities. The Company did not write any call options in 1996.
     As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were no option contracts
     outstanding.

     The Company also had investments in certain debt instruments with
     derivative characteristics, including those whose market value is at least
     partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in
     domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short or long term), exchange
     rates, prepayment rates, equity markets or credit ratings/spreads. The
     amortized cost and fair value of these securities, included in the debt
     securities portfolio, as of December 31, 1996 was as follows:

                                                          Amortized      Fair

     contractholders of $787.6 million, $744.2 million and $677.1 million for

5.  Dividend Restrictions and Shareholder's Equity

     The Company paid $3.5 million in cash dividends to HOLDCO in 1996. In 1995,
     the Company dividended $2.9 million in the form of two of its subsidiaries,
     Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc. and Aetna Investment Services,
     Inc., to Aetna Retirement Services, Inc. (the Company's former parent).

     The amount of dividends that may be paid to the shareholder in 1997 without
     prior approval by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Connecticut is
     $71.1 million.

     The Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut (the "Department")
     recognizes as net income and shareholder's capital and surplus those
     amounts determined in conformity with statutory accounting practices
     prescribed or permitted by the Department, which differ in certain respects
     from generally accepted accounting principles. Statutory net income was
     $57.8 million, $70.0 million and $64.9 million for the years ended December
     31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was
     $713.6 million and $670.7 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.

     As of December 31, 1996 the Company does not utilize any statutory
     accounting practices which are not prescribed by state regulatory
     authorities that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect
     statutory capital and surplus.

     expected to be taken to improve its cost structure relative to its
     competitors. The severance portion of the charge is based on a plan to
     eliminate 702 positions (primarily customer service, sales and information
     technology support staff). The facilities portion of the charge is based on
     a plan to consolidate sales/service field offices.

     In addition to the above charge, Aetna recorded a facilities and severance
     charge in the second quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of actions
     taken or expected to be taken to reduce the level of corporate expenses and
     other costs previously absorbed by Aetna's property-casualty operations.
     The cost allocated to the Company associated with this charge was $9.1
     million after tax ($14.0 million pretax).

     The activity during 1996 within the severance and facilities reserve
     (pretax, in millions) and the number of positions eliminated related to
     such actions were as follows:

                                                    Reserve            Positions

     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (1)  Includes $8.0 million of severance-related actions and $4.1 million of
          corporate allocation-related actions.

     The Company's severance actions are expected to be substantially completed
     by March 31, 1998. The corporate allocation actions and the vacating of the
     leased office space are expected to be substantially completed in 1997.

8.   Income Taxes

     The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return and
     combined Connecticut and New York state income tax returns of Aetna. Aetna
     allocates to each member an amount approximating the tax it would have
     incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group, and credits the
     member for the use of its tax saving attributes used in the consolidated
     returns.

     Income taxes for the years ended December 31, consist of:

8.   Income Taxes (Continued)

     The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax
     assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31 are presented below:

                                                            1996          1995

     Net unrealized capital gains and losses are presented in shareholder's
     equity net of deferred taxes. Valuation allowances are provided when it is
     not considered more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be
     realized. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, no valuation allowances were
     required for unrealized capital gains and losses.

     The "Policyholders' Surplus Account," which arose under prior tax law, is
     generally that portion of a life insurance company's statutory income that
     has not been subject to taxation. As of December 31, 1983, no further
     additions could be made to the Policyholders' Surplus Account for tax
     return purposes under the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984. The balance in
     such account was approximately $17.2 million at December 31, 1996. This
     amount would be taxed only under certain conditions. No income taxes have
     been provided on this amount since management believes the conditions under
     which such taxes would become payable are remote.

8.   Income Taxes (Continued)

     The Internal Revenue Service ("Service") has completed examinations of the
     consolidated federal income tax returns of Aetna through 1990. Discussions
     are being held with the Service with respect to proposed adjustments.
     Management believes there are adequate defenses against, or sufficient
     reserves to provide for, any such adjustments. The Service has commenced
     its examinations for the years 1991 through 1994.

9.   Benefit Plans

     Employee Pension Plans - The Company, in conjunction with Aetna, has
     noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all
     employees. The plans provide pension benefits based on years of service and
     average annual compensation (measured over 60 consecutive months of highest
     earnings in a 120-month period). Contributions are determined using the
     Projected Unit Credit Method and, for qualified plans subject to ERISA
     requirements, are limited to the amounts that are tax-deductible. As of
     December 31, 1996, Aetna's accrued pension cost has been allocated to its
     subsidiaries, including the Company, under an allocation based on eligible
     salaries. Data on a separate company basis regarding the proportionate
     share of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets is not available.
     The accumulated benefit obligation and plan assets are recorded by Aetna.
     As of the measurement date (i.e., September 30), the accumulated plan
     assets exceeded accumulated plan benefits. Allocated pretax charges to
     operations for the pension plan (based on the Company's total salary cost
     as a percentage of Aetna's total salary cost) were $4.3 million, $6.1
     million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
     1994, respectively.

     Employee Postretirement Benefits - In addition to providing pension
     benefits, Aetna currently provides health care and life insurance benefits,
     subject to certain caps, for retired employees. A comprehensive medical and
     dental plan is offered to all full-time employees retiring at age 50 with
     15 years of service or at age 65 with 10 years of service. Retirees are
     generally required to contribute to the plans based on their years of
     service with Aetna. The costs to the Company associated with the Aetna
     postretirement plans for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $1.8 million, $1.4
     million and $1.0 million, respectively.

     As of December 31, 1996, Aetna transferred to the Company approximately
     $77.7 million of accrued liabilities, primarily related to the pension and
     postretirement benefit plans described above, that had been previously
     recorded by Aetna. The after tax amount of this transfer (approximately
     $50.5 million) is reported as a reduction in retained earnings.

     Agent Pension Plans - The Company, in conjunction with Aetna, has a
     non-qualified pension plan covering certain agents. The plan provides
     pension benefits based on annual commission earnings. As of the measurement
     date (i.e., September 30), the accumulated plan assets exceeded accumulated
     plan benefits.

9.   Benefit Plans (Continued)

     Agent Postretirement Benefits - The Company, in conjunction with Aetna,
     also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance
     benefits for certain agents. The costs to the Company associated with the
     agents' postretirement plans for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $0.7 million,
     $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

     Incentive Savings Plan - Substantially all employees are eligible to
     participate in a savings plan under which designated contributions, which
     may be invested in common stock of Aetna or certain other investments, are
     matched, up to 5% of compensation, by Aetna. Pretax charges to operations
     for the incentive savings plan were $5.4 million, $4.9 million and $3.3
     million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Stock Plans - Aetna has a stock incentive plan that provides for stock
     options, deferred contingent common stock or equivalent cash awards or
     restricted stock to certain key employees. Executive and middle management
     employees may be granted options to purchase common stock of Aetna at or
     above the market price on the date of grant. Options generally become 100%
     vested three years after the grant is made, with one-third of the options
     vesting each year. Aetna does not recognize compensation expense for stock
     options granted at or above the market price on the date of grant under its
     stock incentive plans. In addition, executives may be granted incentive
     units which are rights to receive common stock or an equivalent value in
     cash. The incentive units may vest within a range from 0% to 175% at the
     end of a four year period based on the attainment of performance goals. The
     costs to the Company associated with the Aetna stock plans for 1996, 1995
     and 1994, were $8.1 million, $6.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
     As of December 31, 1996, Aetna transferred to the Company approximately
     $1.1 million of deferred tax benefits related to stock options. This amount
     is reported as an increase in retained earnings.

10.  Related Party Transactions

     The Company is compensated by the Separate Accounts for bearing mortality
     and expense risks pertaining to variable life and annuity contracts. Under
     the insurance contracts, the Separate Accounts pay the Company a daily fee
     which, on an annual basis, ranges, depending on the product, from .10% to
     1.90% of their average daily net assets. The Company also receives fees
     from the variable life and annuity mutual funds and The Aetna Series Fund
     for serving as investment adviser. Under the advisory agreements, the Funds
     pay the Company a daily fee which, on an annual basis, ranges, depending on
     the fund, from .25% to .85% of their average daily net assets. The Company
     also receives fees (expressed as a percentage of the average daily net
     assets) from the variable life and annuity mutual funds and The Aetna
     Series Fund for providing administration services, and from The Aetna
     Series Fund for providing shareholder services and promoting sales. The
     amount of compensation and fees received from the Separate Accounts and
     Funds, included in Charges Assessed Against Policyholders, amounted to
     $185.4 million, $128.1 million and $104.6 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively. The Company may waive advisory fees at its discretion.

10.  Related Party Transactions (Continued)

     The Company acts as an investment adviser for its affiliated mutual funds.
     Since August 1996, Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. ("Aeltus"), a wholly
     owned subsidiary of HOLDCO and an affiliate of the Company, has been acting
     as Subadvisor of all affiliated mutual funds and of most of the General
     Account assets. Fees paid by the Company to Aeltus, included in both
     Charges Assessed Against Policyholders and Net Investment Income, on an
     annual basis, range from .06% to .55% of the average daily net assets under
     management. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company paid $16.0
     million in such fees.

     The Company may, from time to time, make reimbursements to a Fund for some
     or all of its operating expenses. Reimbursement arrangements may be
     terminated at any time without notice.

     Since 1981, all domestic individual non-participating life insurance of
     Aetna and its subsidiaries has been issued by the Company. Effective
     December 31, 1988, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with
     Aetna Life Insurance Company ("Aetna Life") in which substantially all of
     the non-participating individual life and annuity business written by Aetna
     Life prior to 1981 was assumed by the Company. A $108.0 million commission,
     paid by the Company to Aetna Life in 1988, was capitalized as deferred
     policy acquisition costs. An additional $6.1 million commission, paid by
     the Company to Aetna Life in 1996, was capitalized as deferred policy
     acquisition costs. The Company maintained insurance reserves of $628.3
     million and $655.5 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
     relating to the business assumed. In consideration for the assumption of
     this business, a loan was established relating to the assets held by Aetna
     Life which support the insurance reserves. The loan is being reduced in
     accordance with the decrease in the reserves. The fair value of this loan
     was $625.3 million and $663.5 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively, and is based upon the fair value of the underlying assets.
     Premiums of $25.3 million, $28.0 million and $32.8 million and current and
     future benefits of $39.5 million, $43.0 million and $43.8 million were
     assumed in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Investment income of $44.1 million, $46.5 million and $51.5 million was
     generated from the reinsurance loan to affiliate in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively. Net income of approximately $8.1 million, $18.4 million and
     $25.1 million resulted from this agreement in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.

     On December 16, 1988, the Company assumed $25.0 million of premium revenue
     from Aetna Life for the purchase and administration of a life contingent
     single premium variable payout annuity contract. In addition, the Company
     also is responsible for administering fixed annuity payments that are made
     to annuitants receiving variable payments. Reserves of $28.9 million and
     $28.0 million were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 1996 and
     1995, respectively.

     Effective February 1, 1992, the Company increased its retention limit per
     individual life to $2.0 million and entered into a reinsurance agreement
     with Aetna Life to reinsure amounts in excess of this limit, up to a
     maximum of $8.0 million on any new individual life business, on a yearly
     renewable term basis. Premium amounts related to this agreement were $5.2
     million, $3.2 million and $1.3 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.

         (A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

10.  Related Party Transactions (Continued)

     The Company received a capital contribution of $10.4 million in cash from
     HOLDCO in 1996. The Company received no capital contributions in 1995 or
     1994.

     The Company paid $3.5 million in cash dividends to HOLDCO in 1996. In 1995,
     the Company dividended $2.9 million in the form of two of its subsidiaries,
     Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc. and Aetna Investment Services,
     Inc., to Aetna Retirement Services, Inc. (the Company's former parent).

     Premiums due and other receivables include $2.8 million and $5.7 million
     due from affiliates in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Other liabilities
     include $10.7 million and $12.4 million due to affiliates for 1996 and
     1995, respectively.

     Substantially all of the administrative and support functions of the
     Company are provided by Aetna and its affiliates. The financial statements
     reflect allocated charges for these services based upon measures
     appropriate for the type and nature of service provided.

11.  Reinsurance

     The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its
     exposure to large losses in all aspects of its insurance business. Such
     reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers,
     although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as
     direct insurer of the risks reinsured. The Company evaluates the financial
     strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial
     condition of reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverables deemed
     probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the Company's Consolidated
     Balance Sheets.

12.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

     Commitments

     Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to
     either purchase or sell securities or money market instruments at a
     specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of
     counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either higher or
     lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value
     of the securities underlying the commitments. At December 31, 1996, the
     Company had commitments to purchase investments of $17.9 million. The fair
     value of the investments at December 31, 1996 approximated $18.3 million.

     Litigation

     The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits arising, for the most part, in
     the ordinary course of its business operations. While the ultimate outcome
     of litigation against the Company cannot be determined at this time, after
     consideration of the defenses available to the Company and any related
     reserves established, it is not expected to result in liability for amounts
     material to the financial condition of the Company, although it may
     adversely affect results of operations in future periods.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

     As of February 28, 1997, there were 5,585 individuals holding interests in
variable annuity contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account G.

Item 28. Indemnification

Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(f) of the Connecticut General
Statutes ("C.G.S.") regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(4)
regarding indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut
corporations. These statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations
incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall indemnify their officers, directors,
employees and agents against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a
judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, excise tax in the case of an employee
benefit plan or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding). In
the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification
is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding
against the corporation to which the individual was named a party. The
corporation's obligation to provide such indemnification does not apply unless
(1) the individual has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771;
and (2) a determination is made (by majority vote of a quorum of the board of
directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or if a quorum cannot be
obtained, by a committee of the board selected as described in Section
33-775(b)(2); by special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or
members thereof as described in Section 33-775(b)(3); by shareholders) that the
individual met the standard set forth in Section 33-771; or (3) the court, upon
application by the individual, determines in view of all the circumstances that
such person is reasonably entitled to be indemnified. Also, unless limited by
its Certificate of Incorporation, a corporation must indemnify an individual who
was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses
incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because
of his relationship as director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation.

The statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification
insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employer
or agent of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, Aetna Inc. has
procured insurance from Lloyd's of London and several major United States excess
insurers for its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries, including the Depositor.

Item 29. Principal Underwriter

     (a) In addition to serving as the principal underwriter and depositor for
         the Registrant, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (Aetna) also
         acts as the principal underwriter and investment adviser for Aetna

         the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)). Additionally, Aetna
         acts as the principal underwriter and depositor for Variable Life
         Account B of Aetna, Variable Annuity Account B of Aetna and Variable

         Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited
         financial statements in the 
<PAGE>


         registration statement are never more than sixteen months old for as
         long as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted;

     (b) to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by
         a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4,
         a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of
         Additional Information; and

     (c) to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial
         statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly
         upon written or oral request.

     (d) The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with
         the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through (4) of the SEC Staff's
         No-Action Letter dated November 22, 1988 with respect to language
         concerning withdrawal restrictions applicable to plans established
         pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. See American
         Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1989 Transfer Binder]
         Fed. SEC. L. Rep. (CCH) [paragraph] 78,904 at 78,523 (November 22,
         1988).

     (e) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
         Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
         persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
         otherwise, the Registrant 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 is, therefore, unenforceable.
         In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
         (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
         by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant 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 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 it is against public policy as expressed in the
         Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (f) Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that the fees and
         charges deducted under the contracts covered by this registration
         statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services
         rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed
         by the insurance company.
