                            PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

On behalf of Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company, we are pleased to
present the 1999 semi-annual report of the Nationwide VASeparate Account-B.

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

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a) Organization and Nature of Operations

         The Nationwide VA Separate Account-B (the Account) was established
         pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of Nationwide Life
         and Annuity Insurance Company (the Company) on March 6, 1991. The
         Account has been registered as a unit investment trust under the
         Investment Company Act of 1940.

         The Company offers tax qualified and non-tax qualified Individual
         Deferred Variable Annuity Contracts through the Account. The primary
         distribution for the contracts is through the brokerage community;
         however, other distributors are utilized.

     (b) The Contracts

         Only contracts without a sales charge, but with certain other fees are
         offered for purchase. See note 2 for a discussion of contract expenses.

         At June 30, 1999, contract owners have invested in all of the above
         funds. The contract owners' equity is affected by the investment
         results of each fund, equity transactions by contract owners and
         certain contract expenses (see note 2).

         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.

     (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 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.

(2)  EXPENSES

     The Company does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments made for
     these contracts, nor is any sales charge deducted upon the surrender of the
     contract.

     The following contract charges are deducted by the Company: a mortality
     risk charge, an expense risk charge and an administration charge assessed
     through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual rate of 0.80%,
     0.45% and 0.20%, respectively.

(3)  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.
