AN OVERVIEW OF         The following replaces the Other Expenses section on
PACIFIC SELECT         page 7 of the Prospectus:
VARIABLE ANNUITY-
Fees and Expenses      Other expenses
Paid by the Pacific
Select Fund: Other     The table also shows the advisory fee and Fund expenses
Expenses is            as an annual percentage of each Portfolio's average
replaced               daily net assets for the year 2000, adjusted to reflect
                       reduced custody fees. To help limit Fund expenses,
                       effective July 1, 2000 we contractually agreed to waive
                       all or part of our investment advisory fees or
                       otherwise reimburse each Portfolio for operating
                       expenses (including organizational expenses, but not
                       including advisory fees, additional costs associated
                       with foreign investing and extraordinary expenses) that
                       exceed an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net
                       assets. Such waiver or reimbursement is subject to
                       repayment to us to the extent such expenses fall below
                       the 0.10% expense cap. For each Portfolio, our right to
                       repayment is limited to amounts waived and/or
                       reimbursed that exceed the new 0.10% expense cap and,
                       except for Portfolios that started on or after October
                       2, 2000, that do not exceed the previously established
                       0.25% expense cap. Any amounts repaid to us will have
                       the effect of increasing such expenses of the
                       Portfolio, but not above the 0.10% expense cap. There
                       is no guarantee that we will continue to cap expenses
                       after December 31, 2001. In 2000, Pacific Life
                       reimbursed approximately $19,662 to the I-Net
                       Tollkeeper Portfolio, $12,631 to the Strategic Value
                       Portfolio, $4,849 to the Focused 30 Portfolio and

                           Portfolio, and 0.63% for High Yield Bond Portfolio.
                       +   The Fund has adopted a brokerage enhancement 12b-1
                           plan, under which brokerage transactions may be
                           placed with broker-dealers in return for credits,
                           cash, or other compensation that may be used to
                           help promote distribution of Fund shares. There are
                           no fees or charges to any Portfolio under this
                           plan, although the Fund's distributor may defray
                           expenses of up to approximately $850,000 for the
                           year 2000, which it might otherwise incur for
                           distribution. If such defrayed amount were
                           considered a Fund expense, it would represent
                           approximately .0067% or less of any Portfolio's
                           average daily net assets.

replaced               expenses that an Owner of a Contract with Accumulated
                       Value allocated to a Variable Account would pay at the
                       end of one, three, five or ten years if, at the end of
                       those time periods, the Contract is (1) surrendered,
                       (2) annuitized, (3) not surrendered or annuitized. The
                       examples assume a $1000 investment and a 5% annual rate
                       of return. In addition, the examples reflect an average
                       initial premium of approximately $45,000 and a prorata
                       portion of the annual Maintenance Fee. Each example
                       shows expenses based upon allocation to each of the
                       Variable Accounts.

                       The examples below should not be considered a
                       representation of past or future expenses. Actual
                       expenses may be greater or lesser than those shown. The
                       5% return assumed in the examples is hypothetical and
                       should not be considered a representation of past or
                       future actual returns, which may be greater or lesser
                       than the assumed amount.

                       require any person requesting a telephone or electronic
                       transaction to provide certain personal identification
                       upon our request. We may also record all or part of any
                       telephone conversation with respect to transaction
                       instructions. We reserve the right to deny any
                       transaction request made by telephone or

                       electronically with respect to your Contract, and you
                       agree that, so long as we comply with our procedures,
