                              PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

               We at Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company are pleased
               to bring you the 2000 semi-annual report of the Nationwide VA
               Separate Account-B.

               During the first half of 2000 fixed income and equity markets
               took a hiatus from their recent advances. It appears the Federal
               Reserve's interest rate hikers are accomplishing the intended
               purpose. Recent economic statistics show some moderation in the
               areas of home and vehicles sales because of the higher interest
               costs. And, there are other favorable indications that the Fed
               may yet "glide" the economy to a soft landing. Inflation remains
               low. Sustained increases in worker productivity continue to
               dampen pricing pressures of an increasingly tight labor pool.
               Corporate profitability growth remains viable. An improving
               global economy bodes well for U.S. exporting businesses. While
               all this provides a positive backdrop, we expect the markets will
               continue jittery and volatile during the second half of the year
               as uncertainty over further Fed actions persists. However, we
               believe patient investors in financial assets will be amply
               rewarded when we move beyond this temporary respite.

               Nationwide Life was a forerunner in the variable annuity and
               variable life insurance business. We continue to develop new and
               innovative investment products to better meet your financial
               planning and retirement needs. And, we are equally committed to
               providing you, our valued customer, the exceptional level of
               customer service you expect and deserve.

                              /s/ Joseph J. Gasper

HOW TO READ THE SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

This Semi-annual report is a presentation of the variable account as a whole and
only describes the underlying contracts and products of the variable account in
general terms. Please note the variable account may have more than one variable
product available. Such products may have different underlying mutual funds
available than those available in your contract. Therefore, not all funds listed
in this report may be available in your contract. Please refer to your most
recent account statement for specific information about your investment in the
Nationwide VA Separate Account-B. Rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and recognized conventions of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principals prescribe the format and content of this report.

We also invite you to call our service center at 1-800-848-6331 if you have
questions about your account, or you may access your account using our voice
response unit. And, please visit our web-site at www.bestofamerica.com for
additional information about your contract and to learn more about other
products and services offered by Nationwide Financial.

THE ANNUAL REPORT HAS FOUR MAJOR FINANCIAL SECTIONS:

STATEMENT OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND CONTRACT OWNER'S EQUITY

This statement begins on page 4 and lists all of the underlying mutual funds of
the variable account, the number of shares owned, the amount paid for the shares
and their market value as of the close of business on June 30, 2000. The mutual
funds are listed in alphabetical order. The market value of the assets changes
as the underlying mutual funds change in value. As contract owners make exchange
transactions between the funds, the number of shares increases or decreases
accordingly. When money is deposited or withdrawn by a contract owner, shares
are correspondingly purchased or redeemed. The total market value of the funds
is equal to the TOTAL INVESTMENTS of the variable account.

         ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, if applicable, represents an asset of the variable
account for money market fund shares purchased by contract owners and reinvested
dividend shares added to contract owners' accounts, but not yet added to Total
investments. Total investments plus Accounts receivable equal TOTAL ASSETS of
the variable account.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, if applicable, is a liability of the variable account for
money market fund shares redeemed by contract owners' but not yet deducted from
Total investments.

Total assets minus Accounts payable equals CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY. A summary of
Contract owners' equity by funds series may be found on page 23. This summary
also includes investment return for the reporting period for each fund series.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY

These statements begin on page 7 and present the financial activity of each
underlying mutual fund sub-account of the variable account, for the periods
indicated.

The INVESTMENT ACTIVITY section shows income to the variable account for
reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions paid by the underlying
mutual funds. Also shown are the mortality, expense and administration charges
which are assessed through the daily unit value calculation and which represent
an expense to the variable account and its contract owners. This section also
shows the realized gain or loss as mutual fund shares are sold, and the change
in unrealized gain or loss, which represents the changes in market value of the
underlying fund shares.

The EQUITY TRANSACTIONS section illustrates the receipt of purchase payments, as
new contracts are sold or additional payments made to existing contracts. Also
presented are deductions from the variable account when the contract owners
withdraw money.

The sum of the above two sections represents the NET CHANGE IN CONTRACT OWNERS'
EQUITY which when added to the beginning Contract owners' equity equals Contract
owners' equity at the end of the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, beginning on page 20, provide further disclosures
about the variable account and its underlying contract provisions.

     (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

         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, 2000, 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.

                                                                     (Continued)

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

         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, 2000. 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.

     (f) Calculation of Annuity Reserves

         Annuity reserves are computed for contracts in the variable payout
         stage according to industry standard mortality tables. The assumed
         investment return is 3.5 percent unless the annuitant elects otherwise,
         in which case the rate may vary from 3.5 percent to 7 percent, as
         regulated by the laws of the respective states. The mortality risk is
         fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being
         transferred into the Account by the Company to cover greater longevity
         of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if reserves exceed amounts
         required, transfers may be made to the Company.

(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.
