                               PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

On behalf of Nationwide Life Insurance Company, we are pleased to present the
1999 semi-annual report of the Nationwide VLI Separate Account-3.

Equity investments performed well during the first half of 1999 with the major
market indices showing double-digit gains. Fixed income investments did not fare
as well during this period in the face of the Federal Reserve's inflation
cautiousness. The Fed is mindful of the resilient U.S. economy and the
increasingly tight labor pool that portends future wage inflation. Accordingly,
we have seen a ratcheting-up of short-term interest rates to dampen the momentum
of the current expansion. How aggressively the Fed may react to the perceived
inflation threat only adds uncertainty to the already jittery equity markets.
Over the long term, however, a slower but sustainable rate of growth, with low
inflation, provides a favorable environment for further advances in financial
assets.

At mid-year, we are pleased to report that all the mission-critical systems used
to service our variable annuity and variable life business have been internally
inventoried, assessed and tested as being Year 2000 compliant. We are currently
contacting our critical business partners to determine if they will be Year 2000
compliant. Contingency plans are being developed and are to be completed by the
end of the third quarter. All these steps are being taken to assure that
Nationwide Financial will be able to continue to serve your financial needs into
the Year 2000 and beyond.

Thank you for selecting Nationwide Financial to help you achieve your financial
planning and retirement savings goals. You have our commitment to provide the
consistent, high quality service you expect and deserve.

                              /s/ Joseph J. Gasper
                           Joseph J. Gasper, President
                                 August 19, 1999

                        NATIONWIDE VLI SEPARATE ACCOUNT-3
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          JUNE 30, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a) Organization and Nature of Operations

         The Nationwide VLISeparate Account-3 (the Account) was established
         pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of Nationwide Life
         Insurance Company (the Company) on August 8, 1984. The Account has been
         registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act
         of 1940. On August 21, 1991, the Company (Depositor) transferred to the
         Account 50,000 shares of American Century VP - American Century VP
         Advantage, for which it was credited with 25,000 accumulation units.
         The value of the accumulation units purchased by the Company on August
         21, 1991 was $250,000.

         The Company offers Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policies
         through the Account. The primary distribution for the contracts is
         through Company Agents; however, other distributors may be utilized.

     (b) The Contracts

         Only contracts with a front-end sales load, a surrender charge and
         certain other fees have been offered for purchase. See note 2 for a
         discussion of policy charges and note 3 for asset charges.

         At June 30, 1999, contract owners have invested in all of the above
         funds except for Nationwide SAT - Small Cap Value Fund. The contract
         owners' equity is affected by the investment results of each fund,
         equity transactions by contract owners and certain policy charges (see
         notes 2 and 3). The accompanying financial statements include only
         contract owners' purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions
         of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for fixed dollar
         benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.

         A contract owner may choose from among a number of different underlying
         mutual fund options. The underlying mutual fund options are not
         available to the general public directly. The underlying mutual funds
         are available as investment options in variable life insurance policies
         or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies or, in
         some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or
         retirement plans.

         Some of the underlying mutual funds have been established by investment
         advisers which manage publicly traded mutual funds having similar names
         and investment objectives. While some of the underlying mutual funds
         may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after, publicly traded
         mutual funds, the underlying mutual funds are not otherwise directly
         related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the
         investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and any
         corresponding underlying mutual funds may differ substantially.

                                       22
<PAGE>   22

     (c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income

         The market value of the underlying mutual funds is based on the closing
         net asset value per share at June 30, 1999. The cost of investments
         sold is determined on the specific identification basis. Investment
         transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
         or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
         date.

     (d) Federal Income Taxes

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

         The Company does not provide for income taxes within the Account. Taxes
         are the responsibility of the contract owner upon termination or
         withdrawal.

     (e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

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

     (f) Reclassifications

         Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
         period presentation.

(2)  POLICY CHARGES

     (a) Deductions from Premium

         On flexible premium life insurance contracts, the Company deducts a
         charge for state premium taxes equal to 2.5% of all premiums received
         to cover the payment of these premium taxes. Additionally, the Company
         deducts a front-end sales load of up to 3.5% from each premium payment
         received. The Company may at its sole discretion reduce this sales
         loading.

     (b) Cost of Insurance

         A cost of insurance charge is assessed monthly against each contract.
         The amount of the charge is based upon age, sex, rate class and net
         amount at risk (death benefit less total contract value).

     (c) Administrative Charges

         For flexible premium contracts, the Company currently deducts a monthly
         administrative charge of $12.50 during the first policy year and $5 per
         month thereafter (may deduct up to $7.50, maximum) to recover policy
         maintenance, accounting, record keeping and other administrative
         expenses. Additionally, the Company deducts an increase charge of $2.04
         per year per $1,000 applied to any increase in the specified amount
         during the first 12 months after the increase becomes effective.

         The above charges are assessed against each contract by liquidating
         units.

     (d) Surrender Charges

         Policy surrenders result in a redemption of the contract value from the
         Account and payment of the surrender proceeds to the contract owner or
         designee. The surrender proceeds consist of the contract value, less
         any outstanding policy loans, and less a surrender charge, if
         applicable. The amount of the charge is based upon a specified
         percentage of the initial surrender charge which varies by issue age,
         sex and rate class. For flexible premium contracts, the charge is 100%
         of the initial surrender charge in the first year, declining to 30% of
         the initial surrender charge in the ninth year.

         No surrender charge is assessed on any contract surrendered after the
         ninth year.

         The Company may waive the surrender charge for certain contracts in
         which the sales expenses normally associated with the distribution of a
         contract are not incurred. No charges were deducted from the initial
         funding, or from earnings thereon.

                                       23
<PAGE>   23

(3)  ASSET CHARGES

     The Company deducts a charge equal to an annual rate of .80%, with certain
     exceptions, to cover mortality and expense risk charges related to
     operations. On each policy anniversary beginning with the 10th, this charge
     is reduced to 0.50% on an annual basis provided that the cash surrender
     value of the contract is $25,000 or more on such anniversary. This charge
     is assessed through the unit value calculation.

(4)  DEATH BENEFITS

     Death benefits result in a redemption of the contract value from the
     Account and payment of the death benefit proceeds, less any outstanding
     policy loans and policy charges, to the legal beneficiary. The excess of
     the death benefit proceeds over the contract value on the date of death is
     paid by the Company's general account.

(5)  POLICY LOANS (NET OF REPAYMENTS)

     Contract provisions allow contract owners to borrow 90% of a policy's cash
     surrender value. The contract is charged 6% on the outstanding loan and is
     due and payable in advance on the policy anniversary.

     At the time the loan is granted, the amount of the loan is transferred from
     the Account to the Company's general account as collateral for the
     outstanding loan. Collateral amounts in the general account are credited
     with the stated rate of interest in effect at the time the loan is made,
     subject to a guaranteed minimum rate. Interest credited is paid by the
     Company's general account to the Account. Loan repayments result in a
     transfer of collateral including interest back to the Account.

(6)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company performs various services on behalf of the Mutual Fund
     Companies in which the Account invests and may receive fees for the
     services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder
     communications, preparation, postage, fund transfer agency and various
     other record keeping and customer service functions. These fees are paid to
     an affiliate of the Company.
