be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.  A Market Value Adjustment may increase
or decrease your Contract's value.

variable basis, or a combination of both.

                                     Summary

This summary  provides only a brief overview of the more  important  features of
the  Contract.  The  Contract  is  more  fully  described  in the  rest  of this
Prospectus. Please read the entire Prospectus carefully.

Overview

We designed the AIM/CIGNA Heritage variable annuity contract as a way for you to
invest on a tax-deferred  basis in the  sub-accounts of the Variable Account and
the fixed  account.  We intend the Contract to be used to  accumulate  money for
retirement or other long-term  purposes.  The Contract can be used in connection
with retirement and tax-deferred  plans, some of which may qualify as retirement
programs under Sections 401, 403, 408, or 457 of the Code.

We are no longer offering the Contract for sale.

The  Contract,  like  all  deferred  annuity  contracts,  has  two  phases:  the
"accumulation  period" and the "income phase." During the  accumulation  period,
your earnings  accumulate  on a  tax-deferred  basis and are generally  taxed as
income when you take them out of the Contract.  The income phase occurs when you
begin receiving regular annuity payments from your Contract on the Annuity Date.
The money you can  accumulate  during the  accumulation  period,  as well as the
annuity  payment  option you choose,  will  determine  the dollar  amount of any
annuity payments you receive during the income phase.

Premium Payments

Additional  payments  you direct into a guaranteed  period of the fixed  account
must be at  least  $500.  The  minimum  payment  you  can  place  in a  variable
sub-account  is  $100.  We  must  approve  any  premium   payment  greater  than
$1,000,000.

The Fixed Account

You may direct your premium payments into any of the  sub-accounts  available in
the fixed account.  We set interest rates at our sole discretion and guarantee a
minimum interest rate of three percent (3%) per year, compounded annually. There
is no assurance that guaranteed interest rates will exceed 3% per year.

Each fixed sub-account  guarantees interest at a specified rate for a particular
period  ranging  from one to ten  years.  But you must  keep  your  money in the
sub-account  for the length of the  guaranteed  period in order to  receive  the
guaranteed  interest  rate.  If you  withdraw or transfer  amounts  from a fixed
sub-account  before the end of the guaranteed  interest period,  we will apply a
Market Value  Adjustment that could increase or decrease your contract value. We
guarantee,  however, that you will be credited with an interest rate of at least
3% per year, compounded annually, on amounts you allocated to the fixed account,
regardless  of any  effects of the Market  Value  Adjustment.  We do not apply a
Market Value Adjustment to the death benefit or annuity payments.

The Variable Account

The Variable  Account is divided into  sub-accounts.  Each variable  sub-account
uses its assets to purchase,  at net asset value, shares of a specific Portfolio
of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds. You may invest in any of the following 17
Portfolios of the Fund through this Contract:


<PAGE>




              o     AIM V.I. Aggressive Growth Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Balanced Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Dent Demographic Trends Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Global Growth and Income Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Global Utilities Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Growth Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Growth and Income Fund
              o     AIM V.I. High Yield Fund
              o     AIM V.I. International Equity Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Money Market Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Telecommunications and Technology Fund
              o     AIM V.I. Value Fund




Depending on market conditions, you can earn or lose the money you invest in any
of the  Portfolios  through the variable  sub-accounts.  We reserve the right to
offer  other  investment  choices  in the  future.  All  Portfolios  may  not be
available in all states. Please call to determine whether a particular Portfolio
is available.

Transfers

You may  transfer  money among the fixed and  variable  sub-accounts  before the
Annuity Date. All transfers are subject to the following conditions:

o transfers from any variable or fixed sub-account must be at least $100;

o transfers to a fixed sub-account must be at least $500; and

o if your account value remaining in a fixed sub-account is less than $500 or
less than $50 in a variable  sub-account,  then the entire  account  value
within the sub-account must be transferred.

In addition,  we may restrict the number and dollar  amount of transfers  from a
fixed  sub-account.  We will subject  transfers  from a fixed  sub-account  to a
Market Value  Adjustment,  unless the transfer is made on the expiration date of
the fixed sub-account. After the Annuity Date, we may permit transfers among the
variable sub-accounts subject to certain conditions.

Cash Withdrawals

At any time  before  the  Annuity  Date,  you may  take  your  money  out of the
Contract. Each cash withdrawal must be at least $50. Withdrawal charges, annuity
account fees,  premium taxes and a Market Value Adjustment may apply.  After the
Annuity Date, we do not permit withdrawals under most Annuity Options.

You may have to pay federal income taxes and a penalty tax on any withdrawals.

Free Partial Withdrawals

Each Contract Year you may withdraw up to 15% of the total amount of the premium
payments you have paid without paying a withdrawal charge.

Annuity Payments

The  Contract  allows  you to  receive  income  under one of 7  annuity  payment
options.  You may choose from fixed payments options,  variable payment options,
or a combination  of both.  Annuity  payments will begin on the first day of the
month  following  the Annuity Date you  selected  and  specified in the Contract
application.

If you select a  variable  payment  option,  the  dollar  amount of the  annuity
payments you receive will go up or down depending on the  investment  results of
the  Portfolios  in which you  invest at that  time.  If you  choose to have any
portion of your annuity payments come from the fixed account, the payment amount
will be fixed and guaranteed by us.

Annuity payments may be subject to Federal income taxes.

Death Benefit

If an Owner dies before the  Annuity  Date,  we will pay a death  benefit to the
surviving Owner, if any,  otherwise the  Beneficiary.  If the deceased Owner (or
any Annuitant if an Owner is a non-natural  person) dies on or after the Annuity
Date,  we will not pay a death  benefit  unless  the  Annuity  Option you select
provides for a death benefit.  If there is no designated  Beneficiary  living on
the date of death of the Owner,  CG Life will pay the Death Benefit upon receipt
of due proof of the death of both the owner and the  designated  Beneficiary  in
one sum to the  estate of the  Owner.  The death  benefit we will pay before the
Annuity Date generally equals the greatest of:
<PAGE>

o the  account  value on the  date we deem  the  death  benefit  election  to be
effective;

o the  sum of all  premium  payments  under  the  Contract,  minus  all  partial
withdrawals;

o your account  value on the Seven Year  Anniversary  immediately  preceding the
date on which the death benefit election is deemed  effective,  adjusted for any
subsequent premium payments, partial withdrawals and applicable charges;

o the amount that would have been paid if a full surrender occurred during
the day when the death benefit election is deemed effective, including any
applicable withdrawal charges and Market Value Adjustment; and

o the Maximum  Anniversary  Value,  adjusted for any subsequent premium payments
and partial withdrawals.

Additional Features

Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging

You can arrange to have money automatically  transferred monthly from any of the
variable  sub-accounts  or the  One-Year  fixed  sub-account  to your  choice of
variable and fixed  sub-accounts.  Dollar cost  averaging  does not  guarantee a
profit and does not
protect against a loss if market prices decline.

Automatic Rebalancing

We will, upon your request,  automatically  transfer  amounts among the variable
sub-accounts on a regular basis to maintain a desired allocation of your Account
Value among the variable sub-accounts.

Expenses

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

We do not deduct a sales  charge from your  premium  payments.  However,  if you
withdraw any part of your account value during the accumulation  period,  we may
deduct a withdrawal charge (contingent  deferred sales charge) on any amount you
withdraw  that  exceeds  the  Free  Withdrawal  Amount  described  herein.   The
withdrawal charge is 7% of the premium payment if you make the withdrawal during
the first year after you paid the premium,  decreasing by 1% each year. After we
have held the premium  payment for seven years,  the  withdrawal  charge on that
amount of premium is 0%. For  purposes  of  computing  the  withdrawal  charges,
amounts are  withdrawn  in the order in which they are  received by us, that is,
the oldest premium payment first. We adjust  withdrawals  from the fixed account
by the  withdrawal  charges  and  by any  applicable  Market  Value  Adjustment.
Withdrawal charges may be waived in certain cases.

Market Value Adjustment

A cash withdrawal or transfer from a fixed  sub-account  during the accumulation
period may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.  The Market Value Adjustment
will reflect the relationship between the value of a government securities index
at the time a cash  withdrawal or transfer is made,  and the value of that index
at the time you paid the premium  payments being withdrawn or  transferred.  The
index is published  by the Federal  Reserve  Board and  reflects  yields on U.S.
Government  securities of various  maturities.  The Market Value  Adjustment may
cause the amount you  withdraw  or  transfer  to be higher or lower.  The Market
Value Adjustment applies to transfers from the fixed account unless the transfer
is made at the end of a guaranteed period.

A Market Value Adjustment may also apply to death benefit payments,  but only if
it would increase the death benefit.  The Market Value Adjustment is not applied
against a  withdrawal  or  transfer  which  occurs on the  Expiration  Date of a
guaranteed  period,  nor is it  applied  if it would  decrease  a death  benefit
payment.  The Market Value Adjustment may be waived in certain cases.

Annuity Account Fee

During the accumulation  period,  we deduct an annual Annuity Account Fee of $35
from your account value on the last  business day of each  calendar  year, or if
you surrender your Contract. After the Annuity Date, we deduct an annual Annuity
Account Fee of $35, in approximately  equal amounts,  from each variable annuity
payment you  receive  during the year.  We do not deduct an Annuity  Account Fee
from fixed annuity payments.  State law may require us to reduce the $35 Annuity
Account Fee. During the accumulation  period, we do not deduct this fee if, when
the deduction is to be made, your account value is $100,000 or more.

Administrative Fee

On each business day, we deduct an administrative fee equal to an annual rate of
0.10% of the daily net assets you have in the Variable  Account.  We deduct this
fee to cover our administrative expenses.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

On each  business day, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge equal to an
annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net assets you have in the  Variable  Account.
We deduct this fee to cover the  mortality and expense risks we assume under the
Contract.

Taxes

Some  states and other  governmental  entities  charge  premium  and other taxes
ranging  up  to  3.5%  on  contracts  issued  by  insurance  companies.  We  are
responsible  for paying these taxes and will make a deduction  from your annuity
value to pay for  them.  We will  deduct  any  such  taxes  when you  surrender,
withdraw or annuitize,  or if we pay a death benefit. We only charge you premium
taxes if your state requires us to pay premium taxes.

Fund Charges

Each Portfolio incurs administrative  expenses and pays investment advisory fees
to its investment  adviser.  These advisory fees and other Portfolio charges and
expenses are indirectly passed on to you.

(1) You may withdraw the Free  Withdrawal  Amount from your Annuity Account once
each  Contract  Year  without a  withdrawal  charge  if you have not  previously
withdrawn all premium  payments.  The withdrawal charge on the remaining portion
is equal to a percentage of the premium  payment you withdraw and ranges from 7%
to 0%,  depending  upon the length of time between our acceptance of the premium
payment  you are  withdrawing  and your  withdrawal.  After we hold the  premium
payment  for seven  years,  you may  withdraw  that  premium  payment  without a
withdrawal charge.

(2) We waive the Annuity  Account Fee for account  values of $100,000 or more as

        The Company, the Fixed Account, the Variable Account and the Fund

The Company


Connecticut  General Life Insurance  Company (CG Life) is a stock life insurance
company  incorporated in Connecticut in 1865. Our Home Office mailing address is
Hartford,  Connecticut  06152.  Our telephone  number is (860)  726-6000.  We do
business in fifty  states,  the District of Columbia  and Puerto Rico.  We issue
group and individual life and health insurance  policies and annuities.  We have
various wholly owned  subsidiaries  which are generally engaged in the insurance
business.

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Connecticut General  Corporation,  Hartford,
Connecticut.  Connecticut  General Corporation is wholly owned by CIGNA Holdings
Inc.,  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania  which  is in  turn  wholly  owned  by  CIGNA
Corporation, Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania. Connecticut General Corporation is the
holding company of various insurance companies, one of which is CG Life.


The Administrator

Allstate Life Insurance  Company and Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York
(together,  "Allstate") perform certain administrative functions relating to the
Contracts,  the fixed account,  and the variable  account.  Allstate will, among
other things,  maintain the books and records of the sub-accounts,  the variable
account, and the fixed account. Allstate will also maintain records of the name,
address,  contract  number,  Annuity  Account value,  and any other  information
necessary to operate and administer the Contracts.  Allstate is responsible  for
servicing  the  Contracts,  including  the  payment of  benefits,  and  contract
administration.

The Fixed Account

The fixed  account is part of our general  account and is made up of our general
assets,  other than those held in any separate  account.  Interests in the fixed
account have not been  registered  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the "1933
Act"), and neither the fixed account nor our general account has been registered
under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "Act").  Therefore,  neither the
fixed account nor any interest therein is generally  subject to regulation under
the  provisions  of the 1933 Act or the Act.  Accordingly,  we have been advised
that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed  the  disclosure  in this  Prospectus
relating to the fixed account.

The assets in the fixed  sub-accounts are part of our general account assets and
are available to fund the claims of all our creditors and to fund benefits under
the Contract.  You do not participate in the investment performance of the fixed
account's assets or our general account.  Instead, we credit a specified rate of
interest,  declared in advance, to amounts you allocate to the fixed account. We
guarantee this rate to be at least 3% per year. We may credit interest at a rate
greater than 3% per year, but we are not obligated to do so.

You may direct your premium payments,  and any portion of your account value, to
any available  fixed  sub-account.  Each fixed  sub-account  credits  guaranteed
interest rates for a guaranteed interest period. Currently, 3 guaranteed periods
range from one to ten years,  although we may offer different guaranteed periods
in the  future.  When you direct  money to a fixed  sub-account,  you select the
number of years (the guaranteed period) during which you will keep money in that
fixed  sub-account.  You may select one or more  fixed  sub-accounts  at any one
time.  If you keep your  money in the fixed  sub-account  for the  length of the
sub-account's  guaranteed  period,  we  will  credit  interest  at the  rate  we
specified for that sub-account.

But if you  withdraw,  or transfer,  any money from the  sub-account  before its
expiration date for any reason,  we will apply a Market Value  Adjustment to the
amount  you  withdraw  (see  "Market  Value  Adjustment").  We may also  apply a
withdrawal  charge.  We  guarantee,  however,  that you will be credited with an
interest  rate of at least 3% per year,  compounded  annually,  on  amounts  you
allocate to any fixed sub-account, regardless of any effects of the Market Value
Adjustment. The Market Value Adjustment will not reduce the amount available for
withdrawal  or transfer to an amount less than the initial  amount you allocated
or transferred to the fixed  sub-account plus compound  interest of 3% per year.
(However,  if we apply a withdrawal  charge,  the amount you receive may be less
than your original allocation credited with 3% compounded interest per year.) We
reserve the right to defer the payment or transfer of amounts you withdraw  from
the fixed  account  for up to six (6)  months  from the date we receive a proper
request for such withdrawal or transfer.

The Variable Account

The  Contract  permits  you to invest in the  Portfolios  through  the  variable
sub-accounts.  Your account value and/or variable  annuity payments will reflect
the  investment  performance  of the  Portfolios in which you invest through the
variable  sub-accounts.  The values of the shares of the Portfolios  held by the
Variable  Account  will  fluctuate  and are  subject  to the  risks of  changing
economic  conditions as well as the risk that the Fund's management may not make
necessary   changes  in  its  Portfolios  to  anticipate   changes  in  economic
conditions.  Therefore,  you bear the entire investment risk that the Contract's
basic  objectives may not be realized and that the adverse  effects of inflation
may not be lessened.  We cannot  guarantee that the total surrender  proceeds or
the  aggregate  amount of annuity  payments you receive will equal or exceed the
premium payments you make.

We  established  the  Variable  Account as a separate  account on May 15,  1992,
pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors.  Under Connecticut insurance
law,  the income,  gains or losses of the  Variable  Account are  credited to or
charged  against the assets of the Variable  Account without regard to our other
income, gains, or losses.  Assets we maintain in the Variable Account,  equal to
the  reserves  and other  contract  liabilities  with  respect  to the  Variable
Account,  will not be charged  with any  liabilities  arising  out of any of our
other  business.  All  obligations  arising  under the  Contract,  including the
promise to make annuity payments, are our general corporate obligations.


Effective  January 1, 1998,  CG Life  contracted  the  administrative  servicing
obligations  with respect to its  individual  variable  annuity  business to The
Lincoln  National  Life  Insurance  Company  (Lincoln  Life) and Lincoln  Life &
Annuity Company of New York (LLANY).  Effective  September 1, 1998, Lincoln Life
and LLANY subcontracted the administrative servicing obligations with respect to
the variable  annuity  business  included in the  Variable  Account to Allstate.
Although CG Life was responsible for all Contract terms and conditions,  Lincoln
Life and LLANY were responsible for servicing the individual  annuity contracts,
including  the payment of  benefits,  oversight  of  investment  management  and
contract administration,  until these services were transitioned to the Allstate
Companies on April 12, 1999.


<PAGE>

The Variable Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under
the Act and  meets the  definition  of a  separate  account  under  the  federal
securities laws. Registration with the SEC does not involve their supervision of
our  management  or investment  practices or policies,  or those of the Variable
Account.

The  Variable  Account is divided  into  variable  sub-accounts.  Each  variable
sub-account  invests  exclusively in shares of a specific Portfolio of the Fund.
All amounts you allocate to the Variable Account will be used to purchase shares
of the Portfolios in accordance with your instructions at their net asset value.
Any and all  distributions the Fund makes with respect to the shares held by the
Variable Account will be reinvested to purchase  additional  shares at their net
asset value.

We will make deductions from the Variable Account for cash withdrawals,  annuity
payments,  death  benefits,  annuity  account fees, and any applicable  taxes by
redeeming  the number of  Portfolio  shares at their net asset value that equals
the  amount to be  deducted.  The  Variable  Account  will  purchase  and redeem
Portfolio  shares on an  aggregate  basis.  The  Variable  Account will be fully
invested in Portfolio shares at all times.

The Fund and the Portfolios

AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Fund") is an open-end  investment  management
company  registered  under  the Act.  Shares of the  Portfolios  of the Fund are
offered to both  registered  and  unregistered  separate  accounts of  insurance
companies and to certain  pension and retirement  plans.  The general public may
not purchase shares of the Portfolios.

A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), the Fund's investment adviser, its affiliates, and
any insurance companies with separate accounts investing in the Fund must report
certain  potential  and  existing  conflicts of interests to the Fund's Board of
Trustees.  These  include  any  potential  or  existing  conflicts  between  the
interests of  owners/participants  of variable  annuity  contracts and owners of
variable life  insurance  contracts that invest in shares of the Fund. The Board
of Trustees,  a majority of whom are not  "interested  persons" of the Fund,  as
that term is defined in the Act,  will  monitor  the Fund to  identify  any such
irreconcilable  material  conflicts  and to determine  what action,  if any, the
Fund, AIM, or its affiliates should take.

You may invest in any of the following (17) Portfolios of the Fund:

The Fund pays  advisory  fees to AIM for its services  pursuant to an investment
advisory  agreement.  AIM, a Delaware  corporation,  also  serves as  investment
adviser to certain other investment companies.

The investment objectives and policies of the Portfolios may be similar to other
portfolios and mutual funds managed by the same investment adviser that are sold
directly to the public. You should not expect that the investment results of the
other  portfolios  or mutual  funds will be  similar to those of the  underlying
Portfolios.

There is no assurance  that any  Portfolio  will  achieve its stated  investment
objective.  Each Portfolio's  investment  objective may be changed by the Funds'
Board of Trustees without shareholder  approval.  A more detailed description of
the Fund, the Portfolios, their investment objectives, policies and restrictions
and  expenses  is found in the Fund's  Prospectus  and SAI.  You should read the
Fund's Prospectus carefully before you invest.

       Premium Payments and Account Values During the Accumulation Period

Premium Payments

All premium  payments must be paid to us or to our  authorized  agent.  When you
apportion your premium payments among the sub-accounts,  the minimum you can put
into a fixed  sub-account  is $500;  the minimum for a variable  sub-account  is
$100.

We may reduce the minimum premium payment  requirements under group contracts if
premium payments are paid through employee payroll deduction. We may also reduce
the minimum premium payment requirements if you use the Contract under a program
that  qualifies  under Section 403 or 408 of the Code. We must  pre-approve  any
premium payment in excess of $1,000,000.

If we receive any premium  payment at our Customer  Services  Center  before the
closing time of the New York Stock Exchange  (usually 4 p.m.  Eastern Time),  we
will  credit the  payment to your  Annuity  Account  the same day we receive it.
Otherwise, we will credit your payment on the next business day.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion not to accept a premium payment.  In
addition,  we may postpone the payment of any amount under the Contract which is
derived,  all or in part,  from any  premium  payment you paid by check or draft
until we determine the check or draft has been honored.

Your Annuity Account

Each  premium  payment you make will be credited to your  Annuity  Account.  The
value of your Annuity  Account for any  Valuation  Period is equal to the sum of
your variable accumulation value plus your fixed accumulation value.

The Annuity Account shall continue in full force until the earliest of:

o        the Annuity Date;
o        the date we pay all death benefits under the Contract;
o        the date you surrender the Contract; or
o        the date your account value no longer meets the Minimum Value
         Requirement described below.



Cash withdrawals may cause us to discontinue your Annuity Account.

Allocating Your Premium Payments

We will  allocate  your premium  payments as you specify.  If you wish to change
your  allocation  instructions,  you  must  do  so in  writing.  You  must  make
allocations to multiple sub-accounts in whole percentages.

If  your  allocation  instructions  would  place  less  than  to $500 in a fixed
sub-account,  we will promptly ask you for further instructions regarding how we
should apportion the premium.

Fixed Accumulation Value

The fixed accumulation value of your Annuity Account for any Valuation Period is
equal to the sum of the values of all the fixed  sub-accounts  to which you have
allocated money.

Guaranteed Periods

You may allocate your premium  payments,  or transfer your account value, to any
fixed  sub-account  we offer.  Each fixed  sub-account  will  credit  guaranteed
interest  rates for the length of a  guaranteed  period  ranging from one to ten
years. The length of the sub-account's guaranteed period will affect the rate of
interest we credit to the sub-account.

Your money in a fixed  sub-account  will earn interest at a guaranteed  interest
rate during the  sub-account's  guaranteed  period,  unless you  withdraw  value
before the guaranteed  period expires.  The guaranteed period starts on the date
we accept a premium payment or, in the case of a transfer, on the effective date
of the transfer. The guaranteed period expires on the date that equals its start
date plus the number of calendar years in the guaranteed period.

We will credit interest daily at a rate equivalent to a compound annual rate. We
will set the interest  rate from time to time. A renewal  and/or a transfer will
begin a new fixed sub-account for the guaranteed period you select.  Amounts you
allocate  at  different  times to fixed  sub-accounts  with the same  guaranteed
period may have different interest rates. Each fixed sub-account will be treated
separately  for  purposes  of  determining  whether  to  apply  a  Market  Value
Adjustment.

We will  notify you in writing  before the  expiration  date for any  guaranteed
period. We will  automatically  roll over the amount in an expiring  sub-account
into a  sub-account  with the same  guaranteed  period,  unless  you  notify  us
otherwise. Transfers at the end of a guaranteed period do not count as transfers
(See  "Transfers" in this  Prospectus)  and are not subject to  restrictions  on
fixed account transfers.
<PAGE>

Guaranteed Interest Rates

From  time to time,  we will  set  current  guaranteed  interest  rates  for the
guaranteed  periods  of the fixed  account.  We will set  interest  rates at our
discretion.  We have no specific  formula for  determining the rates we declare.
Once you allocate  money to a fixed  sub-account  for a guaranteed  period,  the
interest rate is guaranteed for the entire  duration of the  guaranteed  period.
Any amount you withdraw from the  sub-account  will be subject to any applicable
withdrawal charges, Annuity Account Fees, Market Value Adjustment, premium taxes
or other  fees.  We will also apply a Market  Value  Adjustment  to amounts  you
transfer out of a fixed sub-account before the end of the guaranteed period.

The  guaranteed  interest  rate  will not be less  than 3% per  year  compounded
annually,  regardless of any Market Value  Adjustment  we may apply.  We have no
obligation  to declare a rate  greater than 3%. You assume the risk that we will
not declare interest rates greater than 3%.

Variable Accumulation Value

The variable accumulation value of your Annuity Account for any Valuation Period
is equal to the sum of the value of all Variable  Accumulation Units credited to
your Annuity Account.

Variable Accumulation Units

We credit  premium  payments  to your  Annuity  Account in the form of  Variable
Accumulation  Units. We determine the number of Variable  Accumulation  Units we
credit by dividing  the dollar  amount you allocate to the  particular  variable
sub-account  by  the  Variable   Accumulation  Unit  Value  for  the  particular
sub-account  for the  Valuation  Period  during  which we receive and accept the
premium payment.

Variable Accumulation Unit Value

We established the initial Variable Accumulation Unit Value for each sub-account
at $10. We recalculate the Variable Accumulation Unit Value for each sub-account
at the close of each Valuation Date. The Variable  Accumulation  Unit Value will
reflect the  investment  performance  of the  underlying  Portfolio in which the
sub-account  invests, the deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge and
the deduction of the Administrative Fee.

For a detailed discussion of how we determine Variable  Accumulation Unit Value,
see the SAI.

                                Optional Features

You may elect to enroll in either of the following  programs.  However,  you may
not be enrolled in both programs at the same time.

Dollar Cost Averaging

Dollar Cost Averaging is a program which allows you to systematically transfer a
specific dollar amount each month from any variable  sub-account or the One-Year
fixed  sub-account to one or more variable  sub-accounts.  By  transferring  set
amounts on a regular  schedule,  instead of transferring the total amount at one
particular  time,  you may reduce the risk of investing in the  portfolios  only
when the price is high.

You may select Dollar Cost  Averaging by having at least $1,000 in a variable or
One-Year fixed  sub-account.  You must transfer at least $50 per month.  You may
enroll  in  this  program  at any  time by  calling  us or by  providing  us the
information we request on the Dollar Cost Averaging election form.

You must have sufficient value in the variable or One-Year fixed sub-account. We
do not permit transfers to or from any fixed sub-account other than the One-Year
fixed sub-account  under Dollar Cost Averaging.  We may, at our sole discretion,
waive Dollar Cost Averaging minimum deposit and transfer requirements.

Dollar Cost Averaging will terminate when any of the following occurs:

o   the number of designated transfers has been completed;
o   the value of the variable or the One-Year fixed sub-account is insufficient
    to complete  the next  transfer;
o   you  request  termination  by  telephone  or in writing(we must receive
    such request at least one week before the next scheduled transfer date to
    take effect that month); or
o   you surrender the Contract.


The Dollar Cost Averaging  program is not available  following the Annuity Date.
We do not currently charge for Dollar Cost Averaging but we may do so.

We do not control the Fund and cannot  guarantee  that it will accept  transfers
under the Dollar Cost Averaging program.  We reserve the right to discontinue or
change this program at any time.

We do not  guarantee  that the dollar  cost  averaging  program  will  result in
annuity account values which equal or exceed the value of your Premium Payments.
The Dollar Cost  Averaging  program may not  achieve  its  objective.  We do not
guarantee that the program will result in a profit, or protect against loss, nor
do we  guarantee  that  it  produces  better  results  than  a  single  lump-sum
investment.
<PAGE>

Automatic Rebalancing

Automatic   Rebalancing   is  an  option  which   periodically   restores  to  a
pre-determined  level the percentage of annuity value allocated to each variable
sub-account  (e.g.,  20%  Money  Market,   50%  Growth,  30%  Utilities).   This
pre-determined  level will be the  allocation  you  initially  selected when you
purchased the Contract,  unless you  subsequently  change it. You may change the
Automatic  Rebalancing  allocation  at any time by submitting a request to us In
Writing.

If you elect  Automatic  Rebalancing,  all premium  payments you allocate to the
variable  sub-accounts  must be  subject  to  Automatic  Rebalancing.  The fixed
sub-account is not available for Automatic Rebalancing.

You may choose to rebalance monthly,  quarterly, semi annually or annually. Once
the  rebalancing  option is activated,  any variable  sub-account  transfers you
execute  outside  of the  rebalancing  option  will  immediately  terminate  the
Automatic  Rebalancing option. Any subsequent premium payment or withdrawal that
modifies the net account balance within each variable sub-account may also cause
the  Automatic  Rebalancing  option  to  terminate.  We will  confirm  any  such
termination  to you.  You may  terminate  the  Automatic  Rebalancing  option or
re-enroll at any time by calling or writing us.

The Automatic  Rebalancing  program is not available following the Annuity Date.
We do not currently charge for Automatic Rebalancing but we may do so.

                               Transfer Privilege

Transfers During the Accumulation Period

During the  Accumulation  Period you may  transfer  all or part of your  account
value to one or more variable or fixed  sub-accounts.  Transfers  from the fixed
sub-accounts are subject to the following conditions:

o you must transfer at least $100 unless you are  transferring  the entire value
  of the  sub-account;
o sub-account  the  amount  you  transfer  to  any  fixed sub-account  must
  be at least $500;
o there must be at least $500  remaining in the sub-account  after the
  transfer;  and
o transfers may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.

Amounts  you  transfer  into a  fixed  sub-account  will  earn  interest  at the
guaranteed  interest  rate we  declare  for  that  guaranteed  period  as of the
effective date of the transfer.  We also may defer transfers of amounts from the
fixed  account  for a period not  greater  than six (6) months  from the date we
receive the transfer request.

Transfers  from  the  variable   sub-accounts   are  subject  to  the  following
conditions:

o you must transfer at least $100 unless you are  transferring  the entire value
of the sub-account;

o the amount you transfer to any variable sub-account must be at least $100; and

o there must be at least $50 remaining in the sub-account after the transfer.

We may  otherwise  restrict  the  transfer  privilege in any way or eliminate it
entirely. Transfer requests in writing must be on a form we find acceptable.

Telephone Transfers. We will allow telephone transfers automatically.

We will take the following procedures to confirm that instructions we receive by
telephone are genuine.

o before a service  representative  accepts any request, the representative will
  ask the caller for specific information to validate the request;
o we will record all calls; and
o we will confirm In Writing all transactions we perform.


We are not  liable  for any  loss,  cost or  expense  for  acting  on  telephone
instructions  which we believe are genuine,  if we act in accordance  with these
procedures.

A transfer from a fixed  sub-account  before its expiration date will be subject
to a Market Value Adjustment.  Transfers  involving Variable  Accumulation Units
will be subject to any conditions  the Fund imposes.  A transfer from a variable
sub-account  will be effective on the date we receive the request for  transfer,
provided we receive the request before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a day which the
New York Stock  Exchange is open for  business.  Otherwise,  the  transfer  will
become  effective  on the  next  day the New  York  Stock  Exchange  is open for
business.  Under  current  law,  there will not be any tax  liability to you for
making a transfer.

Transfers During the Annuity Period

After the Annuity  Date,  the Payee  receiving  variable  annuity  payments  may
transfer  value  among  the  variable  sub-accounts  in which  the  Contract  is
invested.  The request  must be in writing.  We will  exchange  the value of the
number of Annuity  Units from the  variable  sub-accounts  you specify for other
Annuity Units,  so that the value of an annuity  payment made on the date of the
exchange  will not be affected by the  exchange.  Each Payee is limited to three
exchanges per Contract Year after the Annuity Date.  Such  exchanges may be made
only between  variable  sub-accounts.  We will make exchanges  using the Annuity
Unit values for the  Valuation  Period  during  which we receive the request for
exchange.
<PAGE>

                              Access to Your Money

Cash Withdrawals

During  the  accumulation  period,  you  may  request  a  cash  withdrawal.  Any
withdrawal  from the  Variable  Account  will be  effective  on the date that we
receive it, so long as we receive the request by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. We will
process  your  withdrawal  request  within  seven  days of our  receipt  of your
request.

You may request a full surrender or a partial cash  withdrawal.  A request for a
partial  withdrawal will result in the cancellation of a portion of your account
value equal to the dollar amount of the cash withdrawal  payment,  plus or minus
any applicable  Market Value Adjustment,  plus any applicable  withdrawal charge
and premium taxes. Upon request, we will advise you of the amounts that we would
pay to you if you request a full surrender or partial withdrawal.

A partial cash  withdrawal  must be at least $50.  When  electing such a partial
withdrawal, you must tell us:

o        the amount to be withdrawn; and
o        the sub-accounts from which to take the money.

Partial  withdrawals may not reduce the total account value below $1,000. If you
do not specify the  sub-accounts  from which we should take the  withdrawal,  we
will  withdraw  the  requested  amount  pro-rata  from each  variable  and fixed
sub-account you maintain. If such a pro-rata withdrawal reduces the value of any
fixed sub-account below $500, or any variable  sub-account balance below $50, we
will transfer the value of those sub-accounts to that variable sub-account where
you maintain the highest value,  or to the fixed account if there is no variable
sub-account where you maintain a balance greater than $50.

All cash  withdrawals  from any fixed  sub-account will be subject to the Market
Value  Adjustment,  except those which become effective upon the expiration date
of the sub-account's  guaranteed  period. If you make a partial cash withdrawal,
we will assess any applicable  withdrawal charge,  Market Value Adjustment,  and
premium  taxes  pro-rata   against  the  amounts  you  have  remaining  in  each
sub-account. If you request a full surrender of the Contract, we will assess any
applicable withdrawal charges, Market Value Adjustment, Annuity Account Fee, and
premium  taxes  against  the amount you  withdraw.  We will  deduct the  Annuity
Account Fee and any applicable  Market Value Adjustment from the Annuity Account
before we apply any withdrawal charge.

We may defer the  payment of amounts  withdrawn  or  transferred  from the fixed
account for a period not to exceed six (6) months from the date we receive  your
written request for such withdrawal or transfer.

Cash withdrawals from a variable  sub-account will result in the cancellation of
Variable   Accumulation   Units  from  your  Annuity  Account.   These  Variable
Accumulation  Units will have an aggregate  value on the  effective  date of the
withdrawal equal to the total amount by which we reduce the account value (which
amount  will  include  any  applicable  withdrawal  charge).  We will  base  the
cancellation  of such  units on the  Variable  Accumulation  Unit  values of the
variable sub-accounts at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive
your cash withdrawal request.

Income  taxes,  federal tax penalties  and other  restrictions  may apply to any
withdrawals you make. See "Federal Tax Matters".

Minimum Value Requirement

If you request a partial withdrawal which would cause your account value to fall
to less than $1,000,  then we will treat the partial withdrawal as a request for
a full  surrender.  We will  terminate your Contract as if you  surrendered  the
Contract  if you do not make  premium  payments  under  the  Contract  for three
consecutive  years and the account  value has fallen  below  $1,000  during this
period. Before we exercise this right to terminate, we will give you thirty (30)
days  notice  and the  opportunity  to make an  additional  premium  payment  to
increase the account value above the minimum amount.  On  termination,  you will
receive  the  amount  which  we would  have  paid had the  Contract  been  fully
surrendered.  We may also  transfer any fixed  sub-account  balance  which has a
value below $500 and any variable  sub-account  balance  which has a value below
$50 to that variable  sub-account where you maintain the highest value or to the
fixed account if there is no variable  sub-account  where you maintain a balance
greater than $50.

Section 403(b) Annuities

The Code imposes  restrictions on cash withdrawals if your Contract is used with
Section 403(b)  annuities.  In order for such a Contract to receive tax deferred
treatment,   the  Contract  must  provide  that  cash   withdrawals  of  amounts
attributable  to salary  reduction  contributions  (other  than  withdrawals  of
accumulation account value as of December 31, 1988 ("Pre-1989,  Salary Reduction
Account  Value")  may be made only when you  attain  age 59 1/2,  separate  from
service with the employer, die or become disabled (within the meaning of Section
72(m)(7) of the Code).  These restrictions apply to any growth or interest on or
after January 1, 1989,  on Pre-1989  Salary  Reduction  Account  Values,  salary
reduction  contributions  made on or after  January 1,  1989,  and any growth or
interest on such contributions ("Restricted Account Values").

Withdrawals  of  Restricted  Account  Values  are  also  permitted  in  cases of
financial  hardship,  but  only to the  extent  of  contributions;  earnings  on
contributions  cannot be withdrawn  for hardship  reasons.  Hardship (and other)
withdrawals  may be subject to a 10% tax penalty,  in addition to any withdrawal
charge,  Market  Value  Adjustment,  Annuity  Account  Fee,  and  premium  taxes
applicable under the Contract.
<PAGE>

Under the terms of a  particular  Section  403(b)  plan,  you may be entitled to
transfer  all or a  portion  of the  account  value  to one or more  alternative
funding  options.  You should consult the documents  governing your plan and the
person  who   administers  the  plan  for  information  as  to  such  investment
alternatives.

With respect to the  restrictions on withdrawals from the Variable  Account,  we
are relying upon a no-action  letter dated November 28, 1988,  from the staff of
the Commission to the American  Council of Life  Insurance.  We have complied or
will comply with the requirements of that no-action letter.

                                 Death Benefits

In the event of the death of any Owner  before the Annuity  Date,  we will pay a
death benefit to the surviving  Owner, if any,  otherwise the  Beneficiary  upon
receipt of due proof of the Owner's death. If there is no designated Beneficiary
living on the date of the Owner's death,  we will,  upon receipt of due proof of
death of both the Owner and the designated Beneficiary, pay the death benefit in
one lump sum to the Owner's estate.  If the death of any Annuitant  occurs on or
after the Annuity  Date,  no death  benefit  will be payable  under the Contract
except as may be provided under the Annuity Option elected.

Election and Effective Date of Election

During your  lifetime and before the Annuity  Date,  you may elect in writing to
have the death  benefit  applied under the Annuity  Options for the  Beneficiary
after the Owner's death.

If no death  benefit  payment  method is in  effect  on the date of the  Owner's
death, the Beneficiary may elect:

o to receive the death benefit in the form of a single cash payment; or

o to have the death benefit  applied  under the Annuity  Options (on the Annuity
  Date).

The  Beneficiary  must make the election to us in writing.  Your  election of an
Annuity  Option  specifying  the method by which the death benefit shall be paid
will  become  effective  on the date we  receive  it.  Any  Annuity  Option  the
Beneficiary elects will become effective on the later of:

o the date we receive  the  election;  or
o the date we receive due proof of the Owner's death.


If we do not receive the  Beneficiary's  election  within 60 days  following the
date we receive due proof of the Owner's death,  the Beneficiary  will be deemed
to have  elected on such 60th day to receive the death  benefit in the form of a
single cash payment.

The Annuity Option you or the  Beneficiary  elect may be restricted by the Code.
See "Federal Tax Matters" for further discussion.

Payment of Death Benefit

If the Beneficiary requests the death benefit to be paid in cash, subject to our
receipt of due proof of death,  we will make  payment  within  seven days of the
date the election becomes effective or is deemed to become effective. If we will
pay the death  benefit in one lump sum to the Owner's  estate,  we will make the
payment  within  seven (7) days of the date we receive due proof of the death of
the Owner and/or the designated  Beneficiary,  as  applicable.  We may defer any
such payment of amounts derived from the Variable Account in accordance with the
Act. If we must make payment under any of the Annuity Options,  the Annuity Date
will be thirty (30) days  following the effective  date or the deemed  effective
date of the election.  We will maintain your Annuity Account in effect until the
Annuity Date.

Spousal Continuation

If the death benefit is payable to your spouse, your spouse may elect to receive
the death benefit or may continue the Contract in the Accumulation  Period as if
the death had not occurred.  If the surviving  spouse  continues the Contract in
the Accumulation Period, the following conditions apply:

o On the day the  Contract is  continued,  the  account  value will be the death
benefit as determined at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive
due proof of death.

o The  surviving  spouse may make a single  withdrawal  of any amount within one
year of the date of death without  incurring a withdrawal charge or Market Value
Adjustment.  (This  feature may not be available in all states.  Please  consult
with your representative for further information).

o Prior to the Annuity Date, the amount of the death benefit of the continued
  Contract will be the greatest of:

        o The account value on the date we determine the amount of the death
        benefit; or

        o The  sum  of  all  premium  payments  reduced  by  the  sum  of  all
        partial withdrawals; or

        o The amount that would have been  payable in the event of a full
        surrender  of the Annuity  Account on the date the death  benefit
        election is effective or is deemed to become effective.

Other  death  benefit  alternatives  in  the  Contract  (including  the  Maximum
Anniversary Value feature described  immediately  below) will no longer apply if
the surviving spouse chooses to continue the Contract.

Amount of Death Benefit

We do not assess Market Value  Adjustment or withdrawal  charges against amounts
which we apply toward payment of a death benefit. We determine the amount of the
death benefit as of the  effective  date or deemed  effective  date of the death
benefit  election  (not as of the date of death).  Unless there is a transfer of
ownership, the death benefit is equal to the greater of:

o the account  value for the  Valuation  Period  during which the death  benefit
  election is effective or deemed to become effective;

o the sum of all  premium  payments  under  the  Contract,  minus the sum of all
  partial withdrawals from the Contract;

o your account  value on the Seven Year  Anniversary  immediately  preceding the
  date the death benefit election is effective or is deemed to become effective,
  adjusted for any  subsequent  premium  payments and partial  withdrawals and
  charges;

o the amount that would have been  payable in the event of a full  surrender  of
  the  Contract  including  surrender charges and any  applicable Market Value
  Adjustment on the date the death benefit election is effective or is deemed to
  become effective; or

o the Maximum Anniversary Value between the "Enhanced Death Benefit Endorsement"
  effective  date and the date we calculate  the death  benefit,  adjusted for
  any subsequent premium payments, partial withdrawals and applicable charges.

On each Contract  Anniversary,  the "Maximum  Anniversary Value" is equal to the
greater of the account value of the most recently calculated Maximum Anniversary
Value.  Premium payments will increase the Maximum  Anniversary Value dollar for
dollar.  Partial withdrawals will reduce the Maximum Anniversary Value according
to a withdrawal adjustment, described below.

The  calculation  of the  Maximum  Anniversary  Value  will  begin on your first
Contract  Anniversary  after the endorsement  effective  date.  Unless the death
benefit becomes payable, we will recalculate the Maximum Anniversary Value until
the first  Contract  Anniversary  after the 75th birthday of the Owner,  or five
years from the endorsement  effective date, whichever is later. After that date,
we will recalculate the Maximum  Anniversary Value only for premium payments and
withdrawals.  The  Maximum  Anniversary  Value will  never be  greater  than the
maximum death benefit allowed by any state  non-forfeiture  laws that govern the
Contract.

The withdrawal  adjustment is equal to: (i) the withdrawal adjustment divided by
(ii) the account  value  immediately  prior to the  withdrawal,  with the result
multiplied by (iii) the value of the Maximum Anniversary Value immediately prior
to the withdrawal.


                           Surrender of the Contracts

At any time before the Annuity Date, you may elect to surrender the Contract and
receive a cash  payment.  On the  Surrender  Date,  we will cancel your  Annuity
Account  and we will pay the  account  value,  minus any  applicable  withdrawal
charges,  Annuity  Account  Fee,  and  premium  taxes,  and  plus or  minus  any
applicable Market Value Adjustment. We will make the payment to you within seven
days of the Surrender Date in the form of a cash payment. We may be permitted to
defer any such payment of amount derived from the Variable Account in accordance
with the Act.  We may defer the  payment  of  amounts  withdrawn  from the fixed
account  for a period not greater  than 6 months  from the date we receive  your
written request for such withdrawal.
<PAGE>

Following a surrender of the  Contract,  or if the Contract  terminates  for any
other reason, all your rights, and those of the Annuitant,  and Beneficiary will
terminate.

Income  taxes,  federal tax penalties  and other  restrictions  may apply to any
surrender. See "Federal Tax Matters."

                               Annuity Provisions

Annuity Date

Annuity  payments will begin on the first day of the month following the Annuity
Date  you  selected  and  specified  in the  Contract  Application  or  Order to
Purchase.  You may  change  this  date  from  time to time by  notifying  us in
writing.  We must receive notice of each change at least 45 days before the then
current Annuity Date.

o The new  Annuity  Date must be a date  which  is:  at least 30 days  after the
  effective date of the change;
o the first day of a month;  and
o not later than the first day of the first month following the o Annuitant's
  90th birthday.

These requirements may be restricted,  in the case of a Qualified  Contract,  by
the  particular  retirement  plan or by applicable  law. You may also change the
Annuity Date by electing an Annuity  Option as  described  in the death  benefit
section of this Prospectus.

On the Annuity Date,  we will cancel your Annuity  Account and we will apply the
account value,  minus any applicable  Annuity  Account Fee and premium taxes, to
provide an annuity under one or more of the options described below. We will not
impose any Market Value Adjustment or withdrawal charges upon amounts applied to
purchase an annuity.  You may not request  payments  under the  Contract's  cash
withdrawal provisions on or after the Annuity Date.

Since the Contract  offered by this  Prospectus may be issued in connection with
retirement plans which meet the requirements of Section 401, 403, 408, or 457 of
the Code, as well as certain  non-qualified plans, you should refer to the terms
of the particular plan for any limitations or restrictions on the Annuity Date.

Election - Change of Annuity Option

During your lifetime and before the Annuity  Date,  you may elect one or more of
the Annuity  Options  described  below,  or any other Annuity Option to which we
agree.  You may also change any election,  but we must receive notice in writing
of any  election  or any change of  election at least 45 days before the Annuity
Date.

If no election is in effect on the 30th day before the Annuity  Date and you use
the Contract in connection with a retirement  plan which meets the  requirements
of either Section 401 (including  Section 401(k)),  Section 403, Section 408(c),
Section  408(k),  or Section 457 of the Code,  we will conclude that you elected
the Joint and Survivor  Annuity  described  below or Life Annuity,  whichever is
applicable,  if required by such retirement plan. If you do not use the Contract
in  connection  with one of these plans,  we will conclude that you have elected
Life Annuity with 120 Monthly Payments Certain.

At any time you may request annuitization in writing of your account value under
any of the Annuity  Options  described  below.  We will not impose a  withdrawal
charge or Market Value  Adjustment at the time payments under the Annuity Option
begin. Such annuitization  will automatically  result in a change in the Annuity
Date to the date payments commence under the Annuity Option you elect.

You  should  refer  to the  terms  of your  particular  retirement  plan and any
applicable  legislation for any limitations or restrictions on the options which
you may elect.  We do not permit a change of Annuity  Option  after the  Annuity
Date.

Annuity Options

The Contract  provides for seven  different  Annuity Options which are described
below.  Four are fixed annuity options,  and three are variable annuity options.
You may elect a fixed annuity, a variable annuity,  or a combination of both. If
electing a  combination,  you must specify  what part of the Annuity  Account we
should apply to each fixed and  variable  annuity  Option.  If we do not receive
your  election by the 30th day before the Annuity  Date,  we will  determine the
portion  of the  Annuity  Account  to be  applied  to a fixed  annuity  and/or a
variable  annuity on a pro-rata  basis based on the  composition of your Annuity
Account on the  Annuity  Date.  (Any  amounts in the  Variable  Account  will be
applied to a variable annuity,  and amounts in the fixed account will be applied
to a fixed  annuity.)  We will base  variable  annuity  payments on the variable
sub-accounts  you select,  or on how you  allocate  the account  value among the
variable sub-accounts.

Fixed Annuity Payments

A fixed annuity provides for Annuity Option payments which will remain constant.
Payments  will be made under the terms of the Annuity  Option you  elected.  The
effect  of  choosing  a fixed  annuity  is that we will set the  amount  of each
payment on the Annuity  Date and that  amount  will not change.  If you select a
fixed  annuity,  we will  transfer  to our  general  account  any amounts in the
Variable Account that we use to provide the fixed annuity.
<PAGE>

We will fix the amount of the annuity  payments by the fixed annuity  provisions
you select and, for some options, the Annuitant's  settlement age (determined in
accordance  with the  Contract).  We determine  the amount of each fixed annuity
payment by applying  the  Annuity  Payment  Rates  found in the  Contract to the
portion of the account value  allocated to the fixed annuity  Option you select,
or, we will use the Annuity Payment Rates we use on the Annuity Date if they are
more  favorable  to the Payee.  The rates found in the Contract  show,  for each
$1,000 applied,  the dollar amount of the monthly fixed annuity payment.  We may
change this rate with respect to Contracts purchased after the effective date of
such change (see "Modification").

Variable Annuity Payments

If you choose to receive  variable  annuity  payments,  the dollar amount of the
payments  will  fluctuate  or vary in  dollar  amount,  based on the  investment
performance  of the  variable  sub-accounts  in which you invest.  The  variable
annuity purchase rate tables in the Contract reflect an assumed interest rate of
3%, so if the actual net investment  performance of the variable  sub-account is
less than this rate, then the dollar amount of the actual annuity  payments will
decrease.  If the actual net investment  performance of the variable sub-account
is higher than this rate, then the dollar amount of the actual annuity  payments
will  increase.  If the net investment  performance  exactly equals the 3% rate,
then the dollar amount of the actual annuity payments will remain constant.

We determine the amount of the first  variable  annuity  payment by the variable
annuity provisions you select and, for some options, the Annuitant's  settlement
age of the Annuitant (determined in accordance with the Contract).  We determine
all variable  annuity  payments  other than the first by means of Annuity  Units
credited to the Contract with respect to the particular  payee. We determine the
number of Annuity  Units to be  credited  in respect  of a  particular  variable
sub-account  by dividing  that  portion of the first  variable  annuity  payment
attributable  to that  sub-account  by the Annuity  Unit Value of that  variable
sub-account  for the  Valuation  Period  which ends  immediately  preceding  the
Annuity  Date.  The number of Annuity  Units of each  sub-account  credited with
respect to the particular payee then remains fixed unless an exchange of Annuity
Units is made pursuant to the "Transfer Privilege - Annuity Period" section. The
dollar  amount of each  variable  annuity  payment after the first may increase,
decrease or remain  constant,  and equals the sum of the amounts  determined  by
multiplying the number of Annuity Units of a particular variable sub-account for
the  Valuation  Period,  which ends  immediately  preceding the due date of each
subsequent  payment,  by the Annuity  Unit Value for that  sub-account,  for the
first Valuation Period occurring on or immediately  before the first day of each
month.  We deduct the annual Annuity Account Fee,  pro-rata,  from each variable
annuity payment.

You may choose to receive annuity  payments under any one of the Annuity Options
described  below.  We may consent to other  plans of payment  before the Annuity
Date.

If you use the Contract in  connection  with a  retirement  plan which meets the
requirements  of either Section 401  (including  Section  401(k)),  Section 403,
Section  408(c),  Section  408(k),  or Section 457 of the Code,  we will offer a
Joint and Survivor  Annuity  under the  Contract.  A Joint and Survivor  Annuity
provides for monthly payments payable during the joint lifetime of the Payee and
a designated  second person and during the lifetime of the survivor.  During the
lifetime of the survivor we will  determine the monthly  payment  payable in the
same manner as during the joint lifetime of the Payee and the designated  second
person.

                              Fixed Annuity Options

Life Annuity Option

We make monthly  payments to the Payee during the  Annuitant's  lifetime  ending
with the last payment due before the Annuitant's  death.  Under this option,  we
will make only one  payment  if the  Annuitant  dies  before we make the  second
payment, we will make only two payments if the Annuitant dies before we make the
third payment, etc.

Life Annuity with Certain Period Option

We will make monthly  payments to the Payee for a fixed period of 60, 120,  180,
or 240 months (as selected) and for as long thereafter as the Annuitant lives.

Cash Refund Life Annuity Option

We make monthly  payments to the Payee during the  Annuitant's  lifetime  ending
with the last payment due before the  Annuitant's  death  provided  that, at the
Annuitant's  death,  the Payee will receive an  additional  payment equal to the
excess,  if any, of the initial value of the proceeds we apply under this option
over the dollar amount of payments we have already paid.

Annuity Certain Option

We pay monthly  payments for the number of years selected which may be from 5 to
30 years.

                            Variable Annuity Options

Variable Life Annuity Option

We make monthly  payments to the Payee during the Annuitant's  lifetime,  ending
with the last payment due before the Annuitant's  death.  Under this option,  we
will make only one  payment  if the  Annuitant  dies  before we make the  second
payment, we will make only two payments if the Annuitant dies before we make the
third payment, etc.
<PAGE>

Variable Life Annuity with Certain Period Option

We make monthly payments to the Payee for a fixed period of 60, 120, 180, or 240
months (as selected), and for as long thereafter as the Annuitant lives.

Variable Annuity Certain Option

We make monthly  payments for the number of years you select which may be from 5
to 30 years.  At any time during the period we make payments,  the Annuitant may
elect to withdraw a portion or all of the future  payments to which the Payee is
entitled.  Upon  withdrawal,  the amount of the future payments will be commuted
and paid in one sum. A withdrawal  may be taken at any time after  annuitization
which does not exceed the total  value of the  variable  annuity  certain on the
withdrawal date. The minimum amount you may withdraw is $1,000. We determine the
value of the variable annuity certain by first converting your number of annuity
units into  dollars  based on the value of the  annuity  units.  Thereafter,  we
divide the dollar value by an annuity certain payment factor to obtain the total
value of the variable annuity certain.  We determine the annuity certain payment
factor by calculating the number of monthly payments  remaining from the date of
withdrawal to the end of the variable  annuity  certain  period and  discounting
such  payments  to a present  value  using an assumed  interest  rate of 3%. The
Annuitant  may elect that the Payee  receives  all or a portion of this  present
value.

Additional Annuity Options

You may settle any proceeds  payable under the Contract,  under any other method
of settlement  including  joint and senior  settlement  options under joint life
annuities) we offer at the time of the request.

Determination of Annuity Payments

On the Annuity Date,  we will apply the adjusted  value of the fixed account and
the Variable  Account to provide for payments under the selected Annuity Option.
The adjusted value will be equal to:

o the account  value at the end of the Valuation  Period which ends  immediately
  preceding the Annuity Date;

o reduced by a  proportionate  amount of the Annuity Account Fee to reflect the
  time elapsed  between the last day of the prior  contract year and the day
  before the Annuity Date; and

o reduced by any premium or similar taxes.


If the amount to be applied under any annuity option is less than $5,000,  or if
the monthly  annuity payment payable in accordance with such option is less than
$50, we will pay the amount in a single payment to the Payee you designate.

                                    Expenses

We assess charges under the Contract offered by this Prospectus in four ways:

o as withdrawal charges (contingent deferred sales charges);

o as deductions for Contract  administration  expenses and, if  applicable,  for
  premium taxes; and

o as charges  against the assets of the Variable  Account for the  assumption of
  mortality and expense risks and for administrative expenses.


In  addition,  certain  deductions  are  made  from the  assets  of the Fund for
investment  management  fees and  expenses.  These fees and  expenses  are fully
described in the Fund's Prospectus and its SAI.

Withdrawal Charges

We do not make a deduction for sales charges from a premium payment. However, if
you make a cash  withdrawal  of a premium  payment,  we may assess a  withdrawal
charge  (contingent  deferred  sales  charge).  The length of time  between  our
acceptance  of the  premium  payment  deemed  withdrawn  and  the  receipt  of a
withdrawal request determines the withdrawal charge. This charge will be used to
cover  certain  expenses  relating  to  the  sale  of  the  Contract   including
commissions  paid  to  sales  personnel,  the  costs  of  preparation  of  sales
literature, other promotional costs and acquisition expenses.

Each  premium  payment  has its own time  period for  purposes  of  assessing  a
withdrawal  charge.  For purposes of computing the  withdrawal  charge,  we deem
amounts to be withdrawn in the order in which we received them. For example,  we
will make  withdrawals  from the oldest premium  payment we have accepted first.
After these  amounts are  exhausted,  we will make  withdrawals  from the second
oldest  premium  payment we have  accepted,  and so on until you withdraw all of
your premium  payments.  After you withdraw all premium  payments,  we will deem
further  withdrawals  to be from net  investment  results  attributable  to such
premium payments, if any.
<PAGE>

Subject to the Free  Partial  Withdrawal  described  below,  we will  assess the
following  withdrawal  charge to premium  payment amounts you withdraw from your
Annuity Account (adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment):

</TABLE>

When you make a withdrawal,  we will deduct any applicable  Annuity  Account Fee
from, and make any Market Value  Adjustment  to, your Annuity  Account before we
apply any withdrawal  charge.  We then assess the withdrawal  charge against the
amounts remaining in your Annuity Account.  If your Annuity Account is allocated
among more than one sub-account,  we will assess the withdrawal  charge pro-rata
against the amounts  remaining within the sub-accounts from which the withdrawal
occurred.  If the sub-accounts from which the withdrawal occurred do not contain
sufficient  amounts  to  satisfy  the  withdrawal  charge,  we will  assess  the
deficiency pro-rata against all amounts remaining within the sub-accounts.  If a
cash  withdrawal  causes the entire value of the Annuity Account to be withdrawn
(i.e., a complete surrender), then we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the
amount paid. We will not impose the withdrawal  charge on a premium  payment you
withdraw  after the end of the seventh year from the date we accept such premium
payment,  nor do we impose  the  withdrawal  charge  upon  payment  of the death
benefit or upon amounts applied to an Annuity Option.

We may, upon notice to you,  modify the withdrawal  charges,  provided that such
modification  shall apply only to your  Annuity  Account  established  after the
effective  date of such  modification  (see  "Modification").  For  examples  of
withdrawals, surrenders, withdrawal charges and the Market Value Adjustment, see
the SAI.

Free Partial Withdrawal

During each  Contract Year before the Annuity Date you may withdraw a portion of
the premium payments you paid without being assessed a withdrawal  charge.  Your
request  must be In Writing.  This  privilege  continues  until you withdraw all
premium  payments you paid to the your Annuity  Account.  You may withdraw up to
15% of the total amount of your  premium  payments  without a withdrawal  charge
each Contract Year. The amount must be at least $50.

You must specify the  sub-accounts  from which the amount will be withdrawn.  If
you do not specify the  sub-accounts  from which the withdrawal will occur,  the
Company will withdraw the amount pro-rata from all your sub-accounts.

A Free Partial Withdrawal may have federal income tax consequences. See "Federal
Tax Matters."

Annuity Account Fee

On the last  Valuation  Date of each  calendar  year, we deduct an annual policy
administration  fee, the Annuity  Account  Fee, on a pro-rata  basis from all of
your  sub-accounts.  The  Annuity  Account Fee equals  $35.  This fee  partially
reimburses us for administrative  expenses relating to the issue and maintenance
of the Contract and your Annuity Account.

We will pro rate your initial  Annuity  Account Fee for the calendar year during
which you  established  your  Annuity  Account,  to reflect the shorter  initial
period. Thereafter, we will assess the full $35 Annuity Account Fee annually. If
you  surrender the  Contract,  we will deduct a $35 Annuity  Account Fee. On the
Annuity Date, we will reduce the account value by a proportionate  amount of the
Annuity Account Fee to reflect the time elapsed between the previous December 31
and the day before the Annuity  Date.  After the Annuity Date, we will deduct an
annual $35  Annuity  Account  Fee, in  approximately  equal  amounts,  from each
variable annuity payment you receive during the year. We will not deduct Annuity
Account Fee from fixed annuity  payments.  If applicable state law requires,  we
will reduce the $35 Annuity  Account Fee to a lesser  amount.  We will waive the
annual  Annuity  Account  Fee each  year  that  your  account  value is at least
$100,000 on the last Valuation Date of that year.

Administrative Fee

On each Valuation Date, we deduct an Administrative Fee from the assets you have
in each  variable  sub-account  to  partially  reimburse  us for  administrative
expenses  relating to the issue and maintenance of the Contract and your Annuity
Account. This charge currently has an effective annual rate of 0.10% (equal to a
daily  rate of  0.000275834%  of the  assets in each  sub-account).  There is no
necessary relationship between the administrative charges imposed and the amount
of expenses that may be attributable to any single Owner's Annuity Account.

Premium Taxes

We will  deduct  premium tax  equivalents  (including  any  related  retaliatory
taxes), if any, and any other taxes due under the Contract.  We currently deduct
any such taxes at the time you  withdraw  or  annuitize  account  value,  or any
portion  thereof,  (although the deduction  could, in the future,  be taken from
premium payments).  Currently these taxes range from 0% to 3.5% of the amount of
premium paid depending upon your state of residence.
<PAGE>

We do not  currently  deduct  federal,  state or local  taxes  other  than state
premium taxes.  However, we may charge for such taxes in the future or for other
economic  burdens  resulting  from  the  application  of any  tax  laws  that we
determine to be attributable to the Contract.

Charge for Mortality and Expense Risks

The mortality risk we assume arises from the contractual  obligation to continue
to make  annuity  payments  to one or more  Payees  regardless  of how  long the
Annuitant  lives and regardless of how long all annuitants as a group live. This
assures each  annuitant  that neither the longevity of fellow  annuitants nor an
improvement in the life expectancy  generally will have an adverse effect on the
amount of any  annuity  payment  received  under the  Contract.  We assume  this
mortality risk by virtue of annuity rates incorporated into the Contract.  These
rates cannot be changed.  We also assume a mortality risk in connection with the
death benefits.  The expense risk we assumed is the risk that the administrative
charges  assessed  under the  Contract may be  insufficient  to cover the actual
total administrative expenses we incur.

For assuming these risks, we deduct a charge from value you have in the Variable
Account at the end of each Valuation Period at an effective annual rate of 1.25%
(calculated  at a daily  rate of  0.003447920%  of the  assets  in the  Variable
Account).  If the  deduction  is  insufficient  to cover  our  actual  costs for
mortality and expense risks, we will bear the loss. Conversely, if the deduction
proves  more than  sufficient,  we will  profit  from the  excess.  We expect to
realize a profit from this  charge.  We do not make a deduction  for these risks
from the fixed account.

We assume the risk that  withdrawal  charges  assessed under the Contract may be
insufficient to compensate us for the costs of distributing the Contract. In the
event  the  withdrawal   charges  prove  to  be  insufficient  to  cover  actual
distribution  expenses,  the deficiency  will be met from our general  corporate
funds,  which may include  amounts  derived from the  mortality and expense risk
charge.

The Contract provides that we may modify the mortality and expense risk charges;
however,  such  modification  shall apply only with respect to Contracts  issued
after the effective date of such modification.

Market Value Adjustment

Any cash withdrawal,  surrender or transfer from a fixed sub-account, other than
a withdrawal,  surrender or transfer at the  expiration  date of the  guaranteed
period,  will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.  We will apply the Market
Value  Adjustment  to the amount you  withdraw or  transfer  after we deduct any
applicable  Annuity  Account Fee and before we deduct any applicable  withdrawal
charge.

The Market Value  Adjustment  generally  reflects the  relationship  between the
Index Rate (based upon the Treasury  Constant  Maturity Series  published by the
Federal  Reserve) in effect at the time you  initially  allocated an amount to a
fixed  sub-account's  guaranteed period under the Contract and the Index Rate in
effect  at the  time  you  withdraw  or  transfer  the  amount  from  the  fixed
sub-account.  It also  reflects the time  remaining  in the fixed  sub-account's
guaranteed  period.  Generally,  if the Index Rate at the time of  withdrawal or
transfer  is more than .50% lower  than the Index  Rate at the time the  premium
payment was allocated,  then the application of the Market Value Adjustment will
result in higher payment upon  withdrawal or transfer.  Similarly,  if the Index
Rate at the time of  withdrawal or transfer is higher than the Index Rate at the
time  the  premium  payment  was  allocated  (or less  than  0.50%  lower),  the
application  of the Market Value  Adjustment  will  generally  result in a lower
payment upon withdrawal or transfer.

We apply the following formula to compute the Market Value Adjustment:

                                                (1 + A)N(th)

                                                (1 + B)N(th)

Where:

A            = an Index Rate (based on the Treasury Constant Maturity Series
             published by the Federal Reserve) for a security with time to
             maturity  equal to the sub-account's guaranteed period, determined
             at the beginning of the guaranteed period. We use an Index Rate
             declared for the Friday occurring within the calendar week which
             is two weeks earlier than the calendar week during which the
             guaranteed period  begins.

B            = an Index Rate (based on the Treasury Constant Maturity Series
             published  by the Federal  Reserve)  for a security  with time to
             maturity equal to the sub-account's guaranteed period, determined
             at the time of  withdrawal or transfer,  plus a 0.50%  adjustment
             (unless   otherwise   limited  by  applicable  state  law).  This
             adjustment builds into the formula a factor  representing  direct
             and indirect  costs to us  associated  with  liquidating  general
             account  assets  in order to  satisfy  surrender  requests.  This
             adjustment  of 0.50%  has been  added to the  denominator  of the
             formula because it is anticipated  that a substantial  portion of
             the  general  account  assets  will  be  in  relatively  illiquid
             securities.  Thus, in addition to direct transaction costs, if we
             must sell such  securities  (e.g.,  because of  surrenders),  the
             market price may be lower.  Accordingly,  even if interest  rates
             decline,  there  will not be a  positive  adjustment  until  this
             factor is overcome,  and then any  adjustment  will be lower than
             otherwise, to compensate for this factor.  Similarly, if interest
             rates  rise,  any  negative   adjustment  will  be  greater  than
             otherwise,  to compensate for this factor. If interest rates stay
             the same,  this factor will result in a small but negative Market
             Value Adjustment.  If Index Rates "A" and "B" are within 0.25% of
             each  other  when the Index Rate  Factor is  determined,  no such
             percentage  adjustment  to "B" will be made. We use an Index Rate
             declared for the Friday  occurring within the calendar week which
             is two weeks  earlier  than the  calendar  week during  which the
             withdrawal, surrender or transfer occurs.
<PAGE>

N            = The number of years remaining in the guaranteed  period
             (e.g., 1 year and 73 days = 1 + (73 divided by 365) = 1.2 years).


    Straight line interpolation is used for periods to maturity not quoted.

    See the SAI for examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.

Waiver of Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment

Pursuant to the "Contract  Endorsement for Waiver of Charges," we will waive any
withdrawal  charge and Market Value  Adjustment prior to the Annuity Date if any
Owner (or Annuitant, if the Owner is not a natural person):

1.            is first confined after the  Endorsement  Effective Date to a Long
              Term Care Facility or Hospital for at least 90  consecutive  days,
              confinement   is  prescribed  by  a  Physician  and  is  Medically
              Necessary,  and the request for a withdrawal and adequate  written
              proof of  confinement  are  received  by us no later than 120 days
              after discharge; or

2.            is first diagnosed by a Physician as having a Terminal Illness
              after the Endorsement Effective Date and we receive a request for
              a withdrawal and adequate written proof of the diagnosis.  We may
              require a second opinion at our expense by a Physician that we
              choose.

Please refer to your Contract  endorsement  for the meaning of, and  limitations
imposed  by,  the  terms  "Hospital,"  "Long  Term  Care  Facility,"  "Medically
Necessary," "Physician," and Terminal Illness."

This  feature may not be  available  in all  states.  Please  consult  with your
representative for further information.

                            Other Contract Provisions

Deferral of Payment

We may  defer  the  calculation  and  payment  of  partial  withdrawal  and full
surrender  values,  transfers or death  benefits  from any variable  sub-account
during any period:

o when the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than  customary  week-end and
  holiday closings; or

o when trading on the New York Stock  Exchange is restricted  as the  Commission
  determines; or

o when an emergency exists as a result of which:
   (a) disposal of securities held by the Fund is not reasonably practicable or
   (b) it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the net
       assets of the Fund; or

o when the  Commission  may by  order  permit  for the  protection  of  security
  holders.

We may defer the  payment or transfer  of amounts  you  withdraw  from any fixed
sub-account  for a period  not  greater  than 6 months  from the date we receive
written  request  for such  withdrawal  or  transfer.  If payment or transfer is
deferred  beyond  thirty (30) days, we will pay interest of at least 3% per year
on amounts so deferred.

In addition,  payment of the amount of any withdrawal  derived,  all or in part,
from any premium  payment paid to us by check or draft may be postponed until we
determine the check or draft has been honored.

Designation and Change of Beneficiary

The Beneficiary designated in your Contract Specifications will remain in effect
unless you change it. You have the sole right to change any Beneficiary. Subject
to the  rights of an  irrevocable  Beneficiary,  you may  change or revoke  your
Beneficiary  designation  at any time while you are  living by filing  with us a
beneficiary  designation or revocation in writing. The change or revocation will
not be binding  upon us until we record it. The change or  revocation  will take
effect  as of the  date  on  which  you  sign  the  beneficiary  designation  or
revocation,  but the change or revocation  will be without  prejudice to us with
regard to any payment we made or any action we took before  recording the change
or revocation.

You  should  refer  to the  terms  of your  particular  retirement  plan and any
applicable legislation for any restrictions on the beneficiary designation.

Exercise of Contract Rights

The Contract shall belong to you. You may expressly  reserve all Contract rights
and privileges.  You may exercise such rights and privileges without the consent
of the Beneficiary (other than an irrevocable  Beneficiary) or any other person.
You may exercise such rights and privileges only during your lifetime and before
the Annuity Date, except as otherwise provided in the Contract.

Unless  provided  otherwise,  the  Annuitant  becomes the Payee on and after the
Annuity  Date.  If the Annuitant  predeceases  you before the Annuity Date,  you
become the  Annuitant  until you  designate  a new  Annuitant  in  writing.  The
Beneficiary  becomes the Payee on the death of the  Annuitant  after the Annuity
Date. Such Payees may thereafter exercise such rights and privileges, if any, of
ownership which continue.

Transfer of Ownership

The owner of a Non-Qualified Contract may transfer the ownership of the Contract
before the Annuity  Date.  A transfer of  ownership  will not be binding upon us
until  we  receive  and  record  written  notification.   When  we  record  such
notification,  the  change  will  take  effect  as of  the  effective  date  you
specified.  The change will be without  prejudice to us regarding any payment we
made or any action we took before recording the change.

You may not transfer ownership of a Qualified Contract except to:

o the Annuitant;
o a trustee or successor trustee of a pension or profit sharing trust which is
  qualified  under  Section 401 of the Code;
o the employer of the Annuitant  provided that the  Qualified  Contract  after
  transfer is maintained under the terms of a retirement  plan qualified under
  Section 403(a) of the Code for the benefit of the Annuitant;
<PAGE>

o the  trustee of an  individual  retirement  account  plan  qualified  under
  Section 408 of the Code for the benefit of the Owner; or
o as otherwise permitted from time to time by laws and regulations governing
  the  retirement  or deferred  compensation  plans for  which a Qualified
  Contract may be issued.

Subject  to the  foregoing,  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 or for any other purpose to any person other
than us.

A transfer of ownership may have federal income tax  consequences.  See "Federal
Tax Matters".

Death of Owner

If any Owner of a  Non-Qualified  Contract dies before the Annuity Date, we must
distribute  the  death  benefit  payable  under  the  Contract,  if any,  to the
surviving Owner, if any, otherwise the Beneficiary, if then alive, either:

o within five years after the deceased Owner's date of death; or

o over some period not greater  than the  Beneficiary's  life or expected  life,
  with annuity payments  beginning within one year after the deceased Owner's
  date of death.

If any Owner is not an individual, a change in or death of any annuitant will be
considered the death of an Owner.

The  person  named as your  Beneficiary  in the  Contract  Application  shall be
considered the designated  beneficiary  for the purposes of Section 72(s )of the
Code and if no person then living has been so named,  then the  Annuitant  shall
automatically be the designated  beneficiary for this purpose. In all cases, any
such  designated  beneficiary  shall not be  entitled  to  exercise  any  rights
prohibited by applicable federal income tax law.

These mandatory distribution  requirements may not apply when the Beneficiary is
the deceased  Owner's  spouse,  if the spouse elects to continue the Contract in
the spouse's own name, as Owner.

If  the  Payee  dies  on or  after  the  Annuity  Date  and  before  the  entire
accumulation  under such  Owner's  Annuity  Account  has been  distributed,  the
remaining  portion of such Owner's Annuity Account,  if any, must be distributed
at least as rapidly as the method of distribution then in effect.  Similar rules
may apply with respect to Qualified Contract.

Voting Fund Shares

We will  vote  Fund  shares  held by the  variable  sub-accounts  at the  Fund's
shareholder  meetings,  and to the extent  required by law,  will follow  voting
instructions received from persons having the right to give voting instructions.
You are the  person  having  the right to give  voting  instructions  before the
Annuity Date. The number of Fund shares as to which each such person is entitled
to give  instructions  will be  determined  as of a date not  more  than 90 days
before each such  meeting.  Before the Annuity  Date, we determine the number of
Fund shares as to which voting  instructions  may be given to us by dividing the
value of all of the Variable  Accumulation  Units of the particular  sub-account
credited to your Annuity  Account by the net asset value of one Fund share as of
the same date.  The Fund is not required to, and does not intend to, hold annual
or other  regular  meetings  of  shareholders.

If you elect a variable  annuity Option,  then after the Annuity Date, the Payee
has the right to give voting  instructions.  The number of votes decreases as we
make annuity payments and as the Contract reserves decrease. The person's number
of votes will be determined  by dividing the Contract  reserve you allocate to a
variable  sub-account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Fund
Portfolio.  There are no voting  rights  associated  with the fixed account or a
fixed annuity before or after the Annuity Date.

We will vote any shares attributable to us, and Fund shares for which we receive
no timely voting instructions, in the same proportion as the shares for which we
receive  instructions.  We must  receive  voting  instructions  at least one day
before the shareholders meeting for them to be considered timely.

Owners  participating  under Qualified  Contracts may be subject to other voting
provisions of the particular plan. Individuals who contribute to plans which the
Contract  funds may be entitled to instruct you as to how to instruct us to vote
the Fund shares attributable to their contributions. Such plans may also provide
the additional extent, if any, to which you shall follow voting  instructions of
persons with rights under the plans.  If we do not receive  voting  instructions
from any such person with respect to a particular  employee's  Annuity  Account,
you may  instruct  us as to how to vote the  number  of Fund  shares  for  which
instructions may be given.

Neither we, nor the Variable Account,  are under any duty to provide information
concerning  the voting  instruction  rights of persons  who may have such rights
under plans, other than rights afforded by the Act. Nor are we under any duty to
inquire as to the instructions we receive, or to your authority or the authority
of others to instruct the voting of Fund shares.  The instructions you give will
be valid as they affect the Variable  Account,  us, and any others having voting
instruction rights with respect to the Variable Account,  except where we or the
Variable Account have actual knowledge to the contrary.

We will provide all Fund proxy material, together with an appropriate form to be
used to give  voting  instructions,  to each person we know to have the right to
give voting  instructions,  at least ten days before each  meeting of the Fund's
shareholders.  If the Act or any regulation  thereunder should be amended, or if
the present  interpretation  thereof should change, and as a result we determine
that we are permitted to vote the Fund's shares in our own right,  we may do so.
Fund  shares that we (or our  affiliates)  hold,  in which you or other  persons
entitled to vote have no beneficial  interest,  may be voted by the  shareholder
thereof (us or our affiliates) in its sole discretion.
<PAGE>

Adding, Deleting or Substituting Investments

We do not control the Fund and cannot guarantee that it or any of its Portfolios
will be available for  investment in the future or that it or any Portfolio will
accept premium payments or transfers.  In the event the Fund or any Portfolio is
not available,  we reserve the right to make changes in the Variable Account and
its  investments.  We may take  reasonable  action  to  secure a  comparable  or
otherwise appropriate funding vehicle, although we are not required to do so and
may not actually do so. In the unlikely  event that the Fund is not available in
the  future  and a  substitute  funding  vehicle  is not  obtained,  then we may
maintain all Annuity  Account values in the fixed account.  If the Fund or other
funding vehicle restricts or refuses to accept transfers or other  transactions,
then we may change, modify, or revoke transfer privileges under the Contract.

We reserve  the right,  subject  to  compliance  with  applicable  law,  to make
additions to, deletions from, or  substitutions  for the shares of the Fund that
are held by the Variable Account (or any variable  sub-account  thereof) or that
the Variable Account (or any variable sub-account thereof) may purchase.  We may
eliminate the shares of any of the Fund's  Portfolios and  substitute  shares of
another  Portfolio  or  any  other  investment   vehicle  of  another  open-end,
registered investment company if:

o laws or regulations are changed;
o shares of the Fund or of a Portfolio are no longer available for
  investment;  or
o we determine that further  investment in any  Portfolio  should  become
  inappropriate  in  view of the  purposes  of the Variable Account.

If any of these events occurs,  substitution of any shares  attributable to your
interest in a variable  sub-account  of the  Variable  Account  shall occur only
after  notice and prior  approval  by the  Commission  to the  extent  required.
Nothing  contained  herein shall  prevent the Variable  Account from  purchasing
other  securities for other series or classes of policies,  or from permitting a
conversion between series or classes of policies on the basis of requests Owners
make. We shall make any  appropriate  endorsement to the Contract to reflect any
substitution pursuant to this provision.

We may establish new sub-accounts when, in our sole discretion,  marketing, tax,
investment  or  other  conditions  warrant.  Any  new  sub-accounts  may be made
available  to  existing  Owners  on  a  basis  we  determine.   Each  additional
sub-account will purchase shares in a Portfolio of the Fund or in another mutual
fund or investment  vehicle.  We may also eliminate one or more sub-accounts if,
in our sole discretion,  marketing,  tax, investment or other conditions warrant
such change.  In the event we eliminate any sub-account,  we will notify you and
request a reallocation of the amounts invested in the eliminated sub-account.

Change in Operation of the Variable Account

At our  election,  and if we  determined  that it is in the  best  interests  of
persons  having voting  rights under the  Contract,  we may operate the Variable
Account as a  management  company  under the Act or any other form  permitted by
law;  deregister the Variable Account under the Act in the event registration is
no longer required  (deregistration of the Variable Account requires an order by
the Commission); or combine the Variable Account with one or more other separate
accounts.  To the extent  permitted by applicable  law, we also may transfer the
assets of the Variable  Account  associated with the Contract to another account
or accounts. In the event of any change in the operation of the Variable Account
pursuant to this provision,  we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract
to  reflect  the  change  and take such  other  action as may be  necessary  and
appropriate to effect the change.

Modifying the Contract

If we modify the  Contract we will give  notice to you (or the Payees  after the
Annuity Date). We may modify the Contract if such modification:

o is necessary to make the Contract or the Variable Account comply with, or take
  advantage of, any law or regulation issued by a governmental  agency to which
  we or the Variable Account are subject; or

o is  necessary  to attempt to assure  continued  qualification  of the Contract
  under the Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities
  or annuity contracts; or

o is necessary to reflect a change in the  operation of the Variable  Account or
  its sub-accounts; or

o provides additional Variable Account and/or fixed accumulation options.

If we modify the Contract, we may make appropriate endorsement in the Contract.

In  addition,  upon  notice to you,  we may  modify the  Contract  to change the
withdrawal  charges,  Annuity Account Fees,  mortality and expense risk charges,
the tables used in  determining  the amount of the first  monthly  fixed annuity
payment,  and the formula used to calculate  the Market Value  Adjustment.  Such
modification shall apply only to Contracts  established after the effective date
of such  modification.  In order to exercise  our  modification  rights in these
particular instances, we must notify you of such modification in writing. All of
the charges and the annuity tables which are provided in the Contract before any
such modification will remain in effect permanently, unless approved by us, with
respect to Contracts established before the effective date of such modification.
<PAGE>

Periodic Reports


At least once each calendar  year, we will provide you with a report showing the
account value at the end of the preceding calendar year, all transactions during
the calendar year, the current account value,  the number of Accumulation  Units
in each variable  sub-account,  the applicable Variable Accumulation Unit Values
as of the  date of the  report  and the  interest  rate  credited  to the  fixed
sub-accounts.  In addition,  each person  having  voting  rights in the Variable
Account  and a Portfolio  or  Portfolios  will  receive  such  reports as may be
required  by the  Act and the  1933  Act.  We will  also  send  such  statements
reflecting  transactions in the Annuity Account as may be required by applicable
laws, rules and regulations.


                               Federal Tax Matters

The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax advice.
Each person concerned should consult a competent tax advisor. No attempt is made
to consider any applicable state tax or other tax laws.

Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts

Non-Natural  Person.  If a non-natural  person (e.g.,  a corporation or a trust)
owns a Non-Qualified Contract, the taxpayer generally must include in income any
increase in the excess of the account value over the  investment in the Contract
(generally,  the premiums or other  consideration  paid for the contract) during
the taxable year. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective owner
that is not a natural person should discuss these with a tax adviser.

The following discussion generally applies to Contracts owned by
natural persons.

Withdrawals.  When a withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract occurs, the amount
received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal
to the excess (if any) of the account value immediately  before the distribution
over the Owner's  investment in the Contract  (generally,  the premiums or other
consideration   paid  for  the  Contract,   reduced  by  any  amount  previously
distributed  from the  Contract  that was not subject to tax) at that time.  The
account value  immediately  before a withdrawal  may have to be increased by any
positive  Market Value  Adjustments  which result from a  withdrawal.  There is,
however,  no  definitive  guidance on the proper tax  treatment  of Market Value
Adjustments,  and you may want to discuss the  potential tax  consequences  of a
Market Value Adjustment with your tax adviser.  In the case of a surrender under
a Non-Qualified  Contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to
the extent it exceeds the Owner's investment in the Contract.

Penalty  Tax on  Certain  Withdrawals.  In the  case  of a  distribution  from a
Non-Qualified Contract,  there may be imposed a federal tax penalty equal to ten
percent  of the  amount  treated as income.  In  general,  however,  there is no
penalty on distributions:

o made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59-1/2

o made on or after the death of an Owner;

o attributable to the taxpayer's becoming disabled; or

o made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life
 (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer.

Other  exceptions  may apply under certain  circumstances  and special rules may
apply in connection with the exceptions  listed above.  You should consult a tax
adviser with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

Annuity  Payments.  Although tax  consequences  may vary depending on the payout
option elected under an annuity  contract,  a portion of each annuity payment is
generally  not  taxed  and the  remainder  is  taxed  as  ordinary  income.  The
non-taxable  portion of an annuity  payment is generally  determined in a manner
that is designed to allow you to recover your investment in the contract ratably
on a tax-free basis over the expected stream of annuity payments,  as determined
when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the contract has been fully
recovered, however, the full amount of each annuity payment is subject to tax as
ordinary income.

Taxation of Death Benefit  Proceeds.  Amounts may be distributed from a Contract
because of your death or the death of the Annuitant. Generally, such amounts are
includible in the income of the recipient as follows:  (i) if  distributed  in a
lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the  Contract,  or
(ii) if  distributed  under a payout  option,  they are taxed in the same way as
annuity payments.

Transfers,  Assignments or Exchanges of a Contract.  A transfer or assignment of
ownership of a Contract,  the  designation  of an  annuitant,  the  selection of
certain  maturity dates, or the exchange of a Contract may result in certain tax
consequences to you that are not discussed  herein.  An owner  contemplating any
such  transfer,  assignment or exchange,  should consult a tax advisor as to the
tax consequences.

Withholding.  Annuity distributions are generally subject to withholding for the
recipient's  federal  income tax  liability.  Recipients  can  generally  elect,
however, not to have tax withheld from distributions.

Multiple  Contracts.  All  annuity  contracts  that  are  issued  by us (or  our
affiliates)  to the same  owner  during  any  calendar  year are  treated as one
annuity  contract  for purposes of  determining  the amount  includible  in such
owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

The tax rules  applicable to Qualified  Contracts  vary according to the type of
retirement  plan and the terms and  conditions of the plan.  Your rights under a
Qualified  Contract may be subject to the terms of the  retirement  plan itself,
regardless of the terms of the Qualified Contract.  Adverse tax consequences may
result  if  you  do not  ensure  that  contributions,  distributions  and  other
transactions with respect to the Contract comply with the law.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), as defined in Sections 219 and 408 of the
Internal Revenue Code (Code), permit individuals to make annual contributions of
up to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of adjusted gross income.  The  contributions
may be deductible  in whole or in part,  depending on the  individual's  income.
Distributions  from certain  pension plans may be "rolled over" into an IRA on a
tax-deferred  basis without  regard to these  limits.  Amounts in the IRA (other
than nondeductible contributions) are taxed when distributed from the IRA. A 10%
penalty tax generally  applies to distributions  made before age 59-1/2,  unless
certain  exceptions  apply.  The Internal  Revenue  Service has not reviewed the
Contract  for  qualification  as an IRA,  and has not  addressed  in a ruling of
general applicability whether a death benefit provision such as the provision in
the Contract comports with IRA qualification requirements.

Corporate  pension and  profit-sharing  plans under  Section  401(a) of the Code
allow  corporate  employers to establish  various types of retirement  plans for
employees,  and  self-employed  individuals  to  establish  qualified  plans for
themselves and their employees. Adverse tax consequences to the retirement plan,
the  participant  or both may  result  if the  Contract  is  transferred  to any
individual as a means to provide benefit payments, unless the plan complies with
all the  requirements  applicable to such  benefits  prior to  transferring  the
Contract.  The Contract  includes a Death  Benefit that in some cases may exceed
the greater of the premium  payments or the  account  value.  The Death  Benefit
could be characterized as an incidental benefit,  the amount of which is limited
in any pension or profit-sharing plan. Because the Death Benefit may exceed this
limitation,  employers  using the Contract in connection  with such plans should
consult their tax adviser.

Tax  Sheltered  Annuities  under section  403(b) of the Code allow  employees of
certain Section 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their
gross income the premium  payments made,  within certain  limits,  on a contract
that will  provide an  annuity  for the  employee's  retirement.  These  premium
payments may be subject to FICA (social security) tax.

Distributions  of (1) salary  reduction  contributions  made in years  beginning
after December 31, 1988; (2) earnings on those  contributions;  and (3) earnings
on amounts held as of the last year  beginning  before  January 1, 1989, are not
allowed  prior to age 59-1/2,  separation  from  service,  death or  disability.
Salary reduction  contributions may also be distributed upon hardship, but would
generally be subject to penalties.

Section 457 Plans,  while not actually  providing  for a qualified  plan as that
term is normally used,  provides for certain  deferred  compensation  plans with
respect  to  service  for  state  governments,   local  governments,   political
subdivisions,   agencies,  instrumentalities  and  certain  affiliates  of  such
entities,  and tax  exempt  organizations.  The  Contract  can be used with such
plans.  Under such plans a  participant  may specify the form of  investment  in
which his or her participation will be made. All such investments,  however, are
owned  by and are  subject  to,  the  claims  of the  general  creditors  of the
sponsoring  employer.  In general, all amounts received under a section 457 plan
are taxable and are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages.

Other Tax Issues. Qualified Contracts have minimum distribution rules
that  govern the timing and amount of  distributions.  You should  refer to your
retirement  plan,  adoption  agreement,  or  consult  a  tax  advisor  for  more
information about these distribution rules.

Distributions from Qualified  Contracts generally are subject to withholding for
the Owner's federal income tax liability.  The withholding rate varies according
to the type of  distribution  and the  Owner's  tax  status.  The Owner  will be
provided the opportunity to elect not to have tax withheld from distributions.

"Eligible  rollover  distributions"  from section  401(a) plans are subject to a
mandatory   federal  income  tax  withholding  of  20%.  An  eligible   rollover
distribution is the taxable portion of any distribution from such a plan, except
certain   distributions   such  as   distributions   required  by  the  Code  or
distributions  in a specified  annuity form. The 20% withholding does not apply,
however,  if the  Owner  chooses a "direct  rollover"  from the plan to  another
tax-qualified plan or IRA.

Possible Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the
possibility  that the tax treatment of the Contract  could change by legislation
or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and
their effect on the Contract.

We have the right to modify the contract in response to legislative changes that
could  otherwise  diminish the  favorable tax  treatment  that annuity  contract
owners currently receive.  We make no guarantee  regarding the tax status of any
contact and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice.

                          Distribution of the Contracts


Sagemark  Consulting,  Inc.  ("Sagemark"),  formerly  known as  CIGNA  Financial
Advisors,  Inc., located at 350 Church Street,  Hartford,  Connecticut 06103, is
the principal  underwriter and the distributor of the Contract. As of January 1,
1998, Sagemark, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation,  became
a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of The  Lincoln  National  Life  Insurance  Company
("Lincoln  Life")  an  Indiana  corporation,   whose  principal  businesses  are
insurance  and  financial  services.  Lincoln  Life is wholly  owned by  Lincoln
National  Corporation,  a publicly-held  insurance  holding company domiciled in
Indiana. Sagemark may enter into contracts with various broker-dealers to aid in
the distribution of the Contract. The commissions paid to dealers are no greater
than 6.75% of premium payments.


                           Historical Performance Data


We may from time to time  disclose  the  current  annualized  yield of the Money
Market  variable  sub-account for a 7-day period in a manner which does not take
into  consideration  any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the
AIM V.I. Money Market  Portfolio or on its portfolio  securities.  Yield figures
will not reflect  withdrawal  charges or premium  taxes.  We compute the current
annualized yield by determining the net change  (exclusive of realized gains and
losses on the sale of securities and unrealized  appreciation and  depreciation)
at the end of the 7-day period in the value of a  hypothetical  account having a
balance  of  one  variable  accumulation  unit  of  the  Money  Market  variable
sub-account  at the beginning of the 7-day  period,  dividing such net change in
account  value by the value of the  account  at the  beginning  of the period to
determine the base period  return,  and  annualizing  this quotient on a 365-day
basis.  The net  change  in  account  value  reflects  (i) net  income  from the
Portfolio  attributable  to the  hypothetical  account;  and  (ii)  charges  and
deductions  imposed under a Contract that are  attributable to the  hypothetical
account.
<PAGE>


We  may  also  disclose  the  effective  yield  of  the  Money  Market  variable
sub-account  for the same 7-day  period,  determined on a compounded  basis.  We
calculate the effective yield by compounding the unannualized base period return
by adding one to the base period return, raising the sum to a power equal to 365
divided by 7, and subtracting one from the result.

We may also advertise or disclose the current annualized yield of one or more of
the  variable  sub-accounts  of the  Variable  Account  (except the Money Market
variable  sub-account)  for 30-day periods.  The annualized  yield of a variable
sub-account  refers to  income  generated  by the  variable  sub-account  over a
specific  30-day period.  Because the yield is annualized,  the yield a variable
sub-account  generates  during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each
30-day period over a 12-month  period.  We compute the yield by dividing the net
investment income per variable accumulation unit earned during the period by the
maximum  offering  price  per  unit on the  last day of the  period.  The  yield
calculations  do not  reflect  the  effect of any  premium  taxes or  withdrawal
charges that may be applicable to a particular Contract.

We may also  advertise or disclose  annual average total returns for one or more
variable sub-accounts for various periods of time. The standardized total return
of a sub-account  refers to return  quotations  assuming an investment  has been
held in the variable sub-account for various periods of time including,  but not
limited to, one year, five years, and ten years (if the variable sub-account has
been in operation for those  periods),  and a period  measured from the date the
variable sub-account commenced  operations.  Total returns represent the average
annual  compounded rates of return that would equate the initial amount invested
to the  redemption  value of that  investment  as of the last day of each of the
periods for which total return quotations are provided.  Accordingly,  the total
return  quotations  will  reflect not only income but also  changes in principal
(i.e.,  variable  accumulation unit) value,  whereas the yield figures will only
reflect income.  The standardized total return quotations reflect the withdrawal
charge, but the standardized yield figures will not.

We may from  time to time  also  disclose  average  annual  total  returns  in a
non-standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above. The
non-standard  format will be identical to the  standard  format  except that the
withdrawal  charge percentage is assumed to be 0%. We may from time to time also
disclose  cumulative  total  returns in  conjunction  with the  standard  format
described  above.  The cumulative  returns will be calculated  assuming that the
withdrawal charge is 0%.

We will only  advertise  non-standard  performance  data if we also disclose the
standard  performance  data.  Performance  will  vary  from  time  to  time  and
historical results will not be representative of future performance. Performance
information  may not provide a basis for  comparison  with other  investments or
other investment companies using a different method of calculating  performance.
Current  yield is not fixed and varies  with  changes in  investment  income and
variable accumulation unit values. The Money Market variable sub-account's yield
will be affected if it  experiences  a net inflow of new money which is invested
at  interest  rates  different  from  those  being  earned  on its  then-current
investments.  An investor's  principal in a variable  sub-account and a variable
sub-account's  return are not guaranteed and will fluctuate  according to market
conditions.  And, as noted above,  advertised  performance  data figures will be
historical figures for a contract during the Accumulation Period.

We may  also  from  time to time use  advertising  which  includes  hypothetical
illustrations  to  compare  the  difference  between  the  growth  of a  taxable
investment and a tax-deferred investment in a variable annuity.

For additional  information  regarding how we calculate performance data, please
refer to the SAI.

In order to supplement the description in the Prospectus, the following provides
additional  information about CG Life and the Contracts which may be of interest
to a you, the Contract Owner.

                       The Contracts -- General Provisions

The Contracts

A Contract, attached riders, amendments, any application,  and any applications,
for additional  amounts,  form the entire contract.  Only the President,  a Vice
President, an Assistant Vice President, a Secretary, a Director, or an Assistant
Director  of the Company may change or waive any  provision  in a Contract.  Any
changes or waivers must be in writing.

We may change or amend the  Contracts,  if such change or amendment is necessary
for the Contracts to comply with or take  advantage of any state or Federal law,
rule or regulation.

Loans

The Contracts do not permit loans.

Non-Participating Contracts

The Contracts do not participate or share in our profits or surplus earnings.

Misstatement of Age

If the age of the  Annuitant  is  misstated,  then we will  adjust  the  amounts
payable by us to those amounts that the Premium  Payments  would have  purchased
for the correct age. We will make these  adjustments  according to our effective
rates on the Date of  Issue.  If we  overcharge,  then we will  charge  our next
payments  succeeding the  adjustment,  with interest at the rate of 6% per year,
compounded annually. We will pay any underpayment in a lump sum.

Assignment

During the  lifetime of the  Annuitant,  you,  the Owner,  may assign any rights
under a Contract as security for a loan or other  reasons.  This does not change
the ownership of a Contract,  but your rights and the rights of any  Beneficiary
are  subject to the terms of the  assignments.  An  assignment  will not bind us
until the original assignment or a certified copy has been filed at the Customer
Service Center.  We are not  responsible for the validity of the assignment.  An
assignment  may have income tax  consequences.  You may not assign  rights under
Qualified Contracts.

Evidence of Survival

We reserve  the right to require  evidence  of the  survival of any Payee at the
time any payment to that Payee is due under the following Annuity Options:  Life
Annuity  (fixed);  Life Annuity with Certain  Period  (fixed);  Cash Refund Life
Annuity  (fixed);  Variable  Life  Annuity;  Variable  Life Annuity with Certain
Period.

Endorsement of Annuity Payments


Allstate Life Insurance  Company and Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York
("Allstate"),  the administrator of the Contract, will send each annuity payment
by check. The Payee must personally  endorse each check. We may require proof of
the Annuitant's survival.


                           Tax Status of the Contracts

Diversification Requirements

The Code  requires  that the  investments  of each  investment  division  of the
separate account  underlying the contracts be "adequately  diversified" in order
for the  contracts  to be treated as annuity  contracts  for Federal  income tax
purposes.  It is intended  that the Variable  Account,  through the Fund and its
portfolios, will satisfy these diversification requirements.

Owner Control

In  certain  circumstances,  owners  of  variable  annuity  contracts  have been
considered for Federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the
separate  account  supporting  their  contracts due to their ability to exercise
investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract owners
have been  currently  taxed on income  and gains  attributable  to the  variable
account assets.  There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the
Contract,  such as the flexibility of an owner to allocate  premium payments and
transfer amounts among the investment  divisions of the separate  account,  have
not been explicitly  addressed in published  rulings.  While we believe that the
Contract does not give an Owner investment control over separate account assets,
we reserve  the right to modify the  Contract as  necessary  to prevent an Owner
from being treated as the owner of the separate  account  assets  supporting the
Contract.

Required  Distributions

In order to be treated as an annuity  contract for Federal  income tax purposes,
section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code requires any  Non-Qualified  Contract
to contain certain provisions  specifying how your interest in the Contract will
be  distributed  in the  event  of  the  death  of a  holder  of  the  Contract.
Specifically,  section 72(s) requires that (a) if any Owner dies on or after the
annuity starting date, but prior to the time the entire interest in the Contract
has been distributed, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed at
least as rapidly as under the method of  distribution  being used as of the date
of such Owner's death;  and (b) if any Owner dies prior to the annuity  starting
date, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed  within five years
after the date of such Owner's  death.  These  requirements  will be  considered
satisfied as to any portion of a Owner's interest which is payable to or for the
benefit of a designated  beneficiary  and which is distributed  over the life of
such  designated  beneficiary  or over a period  not  extending  beyond the life
expectancy of that beneficiary,  provided that such  distributions  begin within
one year of the Owner's death.  The designated  beneficiary  refers to a natural
person  designated  by the Owner as a beneficiary  and to whom  ownership of the
Contract passes by reason of death.  However,  if the designated  beneficiary is
the surviving  spouse of the deceased Owner,  the Contract may be continued with
the  surviving  spouse as the new Owner.  If any Owner is not an  individual,  a
change in or death of any annuitant will be treated as the death of an Owner for
these purposes.
<PAGE>

The Non-Qualified  Contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with
these Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements
have yet been  issued.  We intend to review such  provisions  and modify them if
necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable  requirements when such
requirements  are clarified by regulation or otherwise.  Other  requirements may
apply to Qualified Contracts.

Taxation of the Company

We are presently taxed as a life insurance  company under part I of Subchapter L
of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended.  The  Variable  Account is
treated  as part of us and,  accordingly,  will  not be  taxed  separately  as a
"regulated  investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. We do not expect
to incur any federal income tax liability with respect to investment  income and
net capital gains arising from the activities of the Variable  Account  retained
as part of the  reserves  under  the  Contract.  Based on this  expectation,  we
anticipate that no charges will be made against the Variable Account for federal
income taxes.  If, in future years,  we incur any federal  income taxes or other
economic burden with respect to the Variable  Account or the Contracts,  then we
may charge for those amounts attributed to the Variable Account.

                              Investment Experience

On any Valuation Date, the Variable  Account value is equal to the totals of the
values  allocated to the Contract in each variable  sub-account.  The portion of
your Annuity Account Value held in any variable sub-account equals the number of
sub-account  units  allocated  to  a  Contract  multiplied  by  the  sub-account
accumulation unit value as described below.

Variable Accumulation Unit Value and Variable Accumulation Value

When we receive a Premium  Payment we will  credit  that  portion of the Premium
Payment to be allocated to the variable  sub-accounts to the Variable Account in
the  form of  Variable  Accumulation  Units.  We  determine  how  many  Variable
Accumulation  Units to credit by  dividing  the  dollar  amount  allocated  to a
particular  sub-account  by  the  Variable  Accumulation  Unit  Value  for  that
particular  sub-account  during the Valuation Period that we receive the Premium
Payment.  For the initial Premium  Payment,  we use the Valuation  Period during
which we accept the Premium Payment.

The  Variable   Accumulation  Unit  Value  for  each  Variable  sub-account  was
established at $10.00 for the first Valuation Period of the particular  Variable
sub-account.   We  determine  the  Variable  Accumulation  Unit  Value  for  the
particular Variable Account  sub-account for any subsequent  Valuation Period by
multiplying  the Variable  Accumulation  Unit Value for the particular  variable
sub-account for the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the Net Investment
Factor for the particular  Variable  Sub-account for such  subsequent  Valuation
Period. The Variable  Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable  sub-account for
any Valuation  Period is the value  determined  as of the end of the  particular
Valuation Period and may increase,  decrease,  or remain constant from Valuation
Period to Valuation Period.

The  variable  accumulation  value  of the  Annuity  Account,  if  any,  for any
Valuation  Period is equal to the sum of the value of all Variable  Accumulation
Units of each  variable  sub-account  credited to the Variable  Account for such
Valuation Period. The variable  accumulation value of each variable  sub-account
is determined by multiplying the number of Variable  Accumulation Units, if any,
credited to each Variable sub-account by the Variable Accumulation Unit Value of
the particular variable sub-account for such Valuation Period.

                              Net Investment Factor

The Net  Investment  Factor  is an  index  applied  to  measure  the  investment
performance of a variable sub-account from one Valuation Period to the next. The
Net  Investment  Factor may be greater or less than or equal to 1.0;  therefore,
the value of a Valuable Accumulation Unit may increase,  decrease, or remain the
same.

The Net Investment Factor for any variable  sub-account for any Valuation Period
is  determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then  subtracting  (c) from the result
where:

(a)  is the net result of:

          (1)  the  net  asset  value  of a Fund  Portfolio share  held  in
               the  variable  sub-account  determined  as of the end of the
               Valuation  Period, plus


          (2)  the per  share  amount  of any  dividend  or  other  distribution
               declared  on the  Fund  portfolio  shares  held  in the  variable
               sub-account if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the Valuation
               Period, plus or minus


          (3)  a per share  credit or charge  with  respect to any taxes that we
               pay or reserve for during the Valuation Period which we determine
               to be  attributable  to the  operation  of the  Variable  Account
               Sub-account.


(b)  is the net asset value of the Fund  portfolio  shares held in the  variable
     sub-account determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period; and


(c)  is  the  total  of  charges  for  mortality  and  expense  risks,  and  the
     administrative expense fee during the Valuation Period.

                    Sample Calculations and Tables

Variable Account Calculations


     Variable Accumulation Unit Value Calculation. Assume the net asset value of
a Fund portfolio share at the end of the current Valuation Period is $16.50; and
its value at the end of the immediately  preceding  Valuation Period was $16.46;
the Valuation Period is one day; and no dividends or  distributions  caused Fund
shares to go "ex-dividend"  during the current Valuation Period.  $16.50 divided
by $16.46 is 1.002430134.  Subtracting the one day risk factor for mortality and
expense risks and the  administrative  expense charge of .00003723754 (the daily
equivalent  of the current total charge of 1.35% on an annual basis) gives a net
investment  factor of 1.00239289646.  If the value of the Variable  Accumulation
Unit for the immediately  preceding  Valuation Period had been $14.7036925,  the
value for the current  Valuation  Period would be  $14.73887691  ($14.7036925  X
1.00239289646).


     Variable  Annuity  Unit Value  Calculation.  The  assumptions  in the above
example exist. Also assume that the value of an Annuity Unit for the immediately
preceding  Valuation Period had been $13.5791357.  If the first variable annuity
payment is  determined  by using an assumed  interest  rate of 3% per year,  the
value of the Annuity Unit for the current Valuation Period would be $13.61016662
[$13.5791357  X  1.00239289646  (the  net  investment  factor)  X  0.999892552].
0.999892552 is the factor, for a one day Valuation Period,  that neutralizes the
assumed  interest  rate of four  percent  (4%) per year  used to  establish  the
Annuity Payment Rates found in the Contract.

     Variable Annuity Payment Calculation.  Assume that a Participant's Variable
Annuity  Account is credited with  5319.7531  Variable  Accumulation  Units of a
particular variable  sub-account;  that the Variable Accumulation Unit Value and
the Annuity Unit Value for the particular variable sub-account for the Valuation
Period which ends  immediately  preceding the Annuity Date are  $14.7036925  and
$13.5791357  respectively;  that the Annuity Payment Rate for the age and option
elected is $6.52 per $1,000; and that the Annuity Unit Value on the day prior to
the second  variable  annuity payment date is  $13.61017004.  The first variable
annuity  payment  would be $509.99  (5319.7531 X  $14.7036925  X 6.52 divided by
1,000).  The number of Annuity Units credited would be 37.5569  ($509.99 divided
by  $13.5791357)  and the  second  variable  annuity  payment  would be  $511.16
(37.5569 X $13.61017004).

Fixed Account Calculation - Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment Tables

The  following  example  illustrates  the detailed  calculations  for a $100,000
deposit into the Fixed  Account  with a guaranteed  rate of 8% for a duration of
five years.  The intent of the example is to show the effect of the Market Value
Adjustment  ("MVA") and the 3% minimum guarantee under various interest rates on
the calculation of the cash surrender  value. The effect of the MVA is reflected
in the index rate  factor in column (2) and the  minimum 3%  guarantee  is shown
under  column (4) under the  "Surrender  Value  Calculation".  The effect of the
withdrawal  charge  and any  taxes,  such as premium  taxes,  is not shown.  The
"Market Value  Adjustment  Tables" and "Minimum Value  Calculation"  contain the
explicit  calculation  of  the  index  factors  and  the  3%  minimum  guarantee
respectively.

                         State Regulation of CG Life

CG Life, a Connecticut corporation,  is subject to regulation by the Connecticut
Department  of  Insurance.  We file an  annual  statement  with the  Connecticut
Department of Insurance  each year covering our  operations and reporting on the
financial condition as of December 31 of the preceding year.  Periodically,  the
Connecticut Department of Insurance or other authorities examine our liabilities
and reserves and the Variable Account.  The Connecticut  Department of Insurance
also periodically conducts a full examination of our operations. In addition, we
are subject to the insurance  laws and  regulations of other states within which
we are licensed to operate.

The law of the state in which the  Contract is delivered  governs the  Contract.
The values and benefits of each Contract are at least equal to those required by
such state.

                                 Administration

Allstate performs certain  administrative  functions  relating to the Contracts,
the fixed account,  and the variable  account.  These functions  include,  among
other things,  maintaining  the books and records of the Variable  Account,  the
fixed  account,  and the  sub-accounts,  and  maintaining  records  of the name,
address, taxpayer identification number, contract number, Annuity Account number
and type,  the status of each Annuity  Account and other  pertinent  information
necessary to the  administration  and  operation of the  Contracts.  Allstate is
responsible for servicing the Contracts,  including the payment of benefits, and
contract administration.

                          Distribution of the Contracts


We are no longer  offering new Contracts for sale.  The Contracts have been sold
by licensed insurance agents in those states where the Contracts may be lawfully
sold.  Such  agents  will  be  registered   representatives   of  broker-dealers
registered  under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 who are  members of the
National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc. ("NASD") and who have entered
into distribution  agreements with the Company and the principal underwriter for
the  Variable  Account,  Sagemark  Consulting,   Inc.  ("Sagemark"),   Hartford,
Connecticut.  Sagemark is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of
the NASD.  Sagemark  also acts as the  principal  underwriter  for certain other
separate accounts. We pay commissions and other distribution compensation. Those
payments  will not be more than 6.75% of  premium  payments.  Sagemark  received
$2,217,462  in deferred  sales  charges  attributable  to the  Variable  Account
portion of the Contracts  during the year ended  December 31, 1997;  $287,589.23
during the year ended  December 31,  1998;and  $70,841.29  during the year ended
December 31, 1999.

insurance holding company domiciled in Indiana.


The Prospectus  describes the sales charges that apply to the  Contracts.  There
are no variations in sales load.

                                Custody of Assets

We are the  Custodian of the  Variable  Account's  assets.  We or our agent will
purchase  the Fund's  shares at net asset  value  according  to the  Purchasers'
instructions.  We will  redeem the Fund's  shares at net asset value in order to
meet the Variable Account's contractual obligations, pay charges relative to the
Variable  Account or make  adjustments for annuity reserves held in the Variable
Account. We hold the variable  sub-accounts'  assets separate and apart from the
assets of any of our other segregated asset accounts and separate and apart from
our general account assets. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions
of shares of the Fund held by each of the variable  sub-accounts of the Variable
Account.  Our fidelity  bond  provides  additional  protection  for the Variable
Account's  assets.  The  fidelity  bond  covers  the  acts of our  officers  and
employees. Its value as of May 1, 2000, is $100,000,000.

                           Historical Performance Data

                     Money Market Variable Sub-account Yield


We may  disclose  the  current  annualized  yield of the Money  Market  Variable
Sub-account,  which invests in the Money Market Portfolio, for a 7-day period in
a manner which does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains
or losses on shares of the Money Market Fund or on its portfolio securities.  We
compute this current  annualized yield by determining the net change  (exclusive
of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities,  unrealized appreciation
and  depreciation,  and income other than  investment  income) at the end of the
7-day period in the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of one unit
of the Money Market  Variable  Sub-account at the beginning of the 7-day period,
dividing  such net  change in account  value by the value of the  account at the
beginning of the period to determine  the base period  return,  and  annualizing
this quotient on a 365-day  basis.  The net change in account value reflects (i)
net income from the Money  Market  Portfolio  attributable  to the  hypothetical
account;  and (ii)  charges and  deductions  imposed  under a Contract  that are
attributable to the hypothetical account.


We  may  also  disclose  the  effective  yield  of  the  Money  Market  Variable
Sub-account  for the same 7-day  period,  determined on a compounded  basis.  We
calculate the effective yield by compounding the unannualized base period return
by adding one to the base period return, raising the sum to a power equal to 365
divided by 7, and subtracting one from the result.

We calculate the effective  yield by compounding  the  unannualized  base period
return according to the following formula:

             Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1)(365/7)] - 1


The yield on amounts held in the Money Market Variable Sub-account normally will
fluctuate on a daily basis.  Therefore,  the disclosed  yield for any given past
period is not an  indication  or  representation  of  future  yields or rates of
return.  The Money  Market  Variable  Sub-account's  actual yield is affected by
changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity
of the Money Market  Portfolio,  the types and quality of  portfolio  securities
held by the Money Market Portfolio and its operating expenses. The yield figures
do not reflect withdrawal charges or premium taxes.


Other Variable Sub-account Yields

We may advertise or disclose the current  annualized yield of one or more of the
variable  sub-accounts of the Variable Account (except the Money Market Variable
Sub-account) for 30-day periods.  The annualized yield of a variable sub-account
refers to income that the variable sub-account  generates over a specific 30-day
period.  Because  the yield is  annualized,  the yield  generated  by a variable
sub-account  during the 30-day  period is assumed to be  generated  each  30-day
period  over a  12-month  period.  We  compute  the  yield by  dividing  the net
investment  income per accumulation unit earned during the period by the maximum
offering  price  per  unit  on the  last  day of the  period,  according  to the
following formula:

                         Yield = 2 [(a - b + 1)(6) - 1]

                                       cd

                                     Where:


a = net investment  income earned during the period by the particular portfolio
    attributable to shares owned by the variable sub-account.
b = expenses accrued for the period.
c = the average daily number of accumulation  units outstanding during the
    period.
d = the  maximum  offering  price per  accumulation  unit on the last day of the
    period.


Because  the  Variable  Account  imposes  charges  and  deductions,  a  variable
sub-account's yield will be lower than the yield for its corresponding Fund. The
yield  calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes or withdrawal
charges that may apply to a particular  Contract.  Withdrawal charges range from
7% to 1% of the amount  withdrawn on total  Premium  Payments  paid,  less prior
partial surrenders, depending on the Contract Year of surrender.

The yield on amounts held in the variable  sub-accounts normally fluctuates over
time. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period does not indicate
or  represent  future  yields or rates of return.  The types and  quality of the
Fund's  investments and its operating  expenses affect a variable  sub-account's
actual yield.

Standard Variable Sub-account Total Returns

We may advertise or disclose annual average total returns for one or more of the
variable  sub-accounts for various periods of time. When a variable  sub-account
has been in operation for 1, 5 and 10 years,  respectively,  we will provide the
total return for these  periods.  We may also  disclose  total returns for other
periods of time. Total returns  represent the average annual compounded rates of
return that would equate the initial amount invested to the redemption  value of
that investment on the last day of each of the periods.

We  calculate  total  returns  using  variable  sub-account  Unit Values that we
calculate on each Valuation Period. We base variable  sub-account Unit Values on
the  performance  of the  Sub-account's  underlying  portfolio,  reduced  by the
mortality and expense risk charge,  the  administrative  expense charge, and the
Annuity  Account Fee. The Annuity Account Fee is reflected by dividing the total
amount of such charges  collected  during the year that are  attributable to the
Variable   Account  by  the  total  average  net  assets  of  all  the  variable
sub-accounts.  We deduct the resulting percentage from the return in calculating
the ending  redeemable  value.  These figures do not reflect any premium  taxes,
charges or credits  for market  value  adjustments.  Total  return  calculations
reflect the effect of withdrawal  charges that may apply to a particular period.
We will then calculate the total return according to the following formula:

                P(l + T)(n) = ERV

                Where:

                P = A hypothetical initial Premium Payment of $1,000.

                T = Average annual total return.

                n = Number of years in the period.

                ERV = Ending  redeemable value of a hypothetical  $1,000 payment
                made at the  beginning of the one, five or ten-year  period,  at
                the end of the  one,  five or  ten-year  period  (or  fractional
                portion thereof).


<PAGE>



                 Non-Standard Variable Sub-account Total Returns

We may  disclose  average  annual  total  returns  in a  non-standard  format in
conjunction with the standard format  described  above. The non-standard  format
will be  identical  to the  standard  format  except  that we  assume  that  the
withdrawal charge percentage is 0%.

We may also disclose  cumulative  total returns in conjunction with the standard
format  described  above.  We  calculate  the  cumulative  returns  by using the
following formula and assuming that the withdrawal charge percentage is 0%.

CTR = (ERV/P) - 1

                                     Where:

CTR = The cumulative total return net of variable sub-account  recurring charges
for the period.

             ERV = The ending  redeemable value of the  hypothetical  investment
             made at the beginning of the one, five or ten-year  period,  at the
             end of the one,  five or  ten-year  period (or  fractional  portion
             thereof).

             P = A hypothetical initial payment of $10,000

             Non-standard  performance  data will only be advertised if standard
             performance data is also disclosed.

Adjusted Historical Portfolio Performance

We may also disclose yield and total return for the Fund's Portfolios, including
for periods  before the date that the Variable  Account  began  operations.  For
periods prior to the date the Variable Account  commenced  operations,  adjusted
historical  portfolio  performance  information  will be calculated based on the
performance of the Portfolios and the assumption that the variable  sub-accounts
were in existence for the same periods as those of the Portfolios,  with some or
all of the  charges  equal to those  currently  assessed  against  the  variable
sub-accounts.

We may also use advertisements that include hypothetical illustrations comparing
the  difference  between the growth of a taxable  investment  and a tax-deferred
investment in a variable annuity.

                                  Legal Matters

Mark A. Parsons,  Chief Counsel,  Retirement and Investment  Services  Division,
CIGNA Corporation,  has passed upon all matters of Connecticut law pertaining to
the Contracts.  This includes the Contracts' validity and our right to issue the
Contracts  under  Connecticut  Insurance  Law and  any  other  applicable  state
insurance or securities laws.

                                Legal Proceedings


There are no material legal or administrative  proceedings  pending or known to
be  contemplated,  other than  ordinary  routine  litigation  incidental  to the
business,  to which we and the  Variable  Account are parties or to which any of
our property is subject.  The Company,  its direct parent,  Connecticut  General
Corporation,  its  indirect  parent,  CIGNA,  and its  affiliate,  CIGNA  Health
Corporation,  and several  health care  industry  competitors  have has proposed
class  action  lawsuits  filed  against  them  by  a  coalition  of  plaintiffs'
attorneys. These lawsuit allege violations under RICO and ERISA.

The Company's reinsurance operations include a 55% share in the primary layer of
a workers' compensation reinsurance pool, which was managed by Unicover Managers
Inc.  ("Unicover")  until  recently.  The poole had obtained  reinsurance  for a
significant  (retrocessional) coverage of the pool. Two of the retrocessionaires
have  commenced  arbitration  against  Unicover  and the  pool  members  seeding
recission  or damages.  In addition,  these  retrocessionaires  have  separately
asserted that the Company  participates in an upper layer of reinsurance for the
pool,  which the Company  denies.  Resolution of these matters is likely to take
some time.

Although the outcome of these matters is uncertain,  the Company does not expect
them to  result  in losses  material  to the  Company's  results  of  operation,
liquidity or financial condition. The principal underwriter, Sagemark, is not
engaged in any material litigation of any nature.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets and the related
consolidated   statements  of  income,   comprehensive  income  and  changes  in
shareholder's equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial  position of Connecticut  General Life  Insurance  Company and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their  operations
and their cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended  December
31, 1999, in conformity with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United  States.  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  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these
statements  in  accordance  with auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the
United  States,  which  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,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Notes to Financial Statements



Note 1 - Description of Business

Connecticut  General Life Insurance  Company and its subsidiaries  (collectively
referred to as "Connecticut  General")  provide group life and health  insurance
and  retirement  and  investment  products  and  services.  Connecticut  General
operates throughout the United States and in selected  international  locations.
Connecticut General is an indirect wholly-owned  subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation
(CIGNA).

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A.       Basis of Presentation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts  of  Connecticut
General  and  all  significant   subsidiaries.   These  consolidated   financial
statements  were  prepared in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  Amounts recorded in the financial  statements reflect  management's
estimates and assumptions about medical costs, interest rates and other factors.
Significant  estimates are discussed in these Notes.  Certain  reclassifications
have been made to prior years' amounts to conform to the 1999 presentation.

B.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Insurance-related assessments. Connecticut General adopted Statement of Position
(SOP) 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments,"  as of  January  1,  1999.  Issued by the  American  Institute  of
Certified  Public  Accountants,  this SOP  guides  companies  in  measuring  and
recording   liabilities   for  insolvency   fund  and  other   insurance-related
assessments,  such as workers'  compensation  second injury funds,  medical risk
pools and  charges  for  operating  expenses  of state  regulatory  bodies.  The
cumulative effect of adopting the SOP was not material.

Internal  use  software.   In  1999,   Connecticut  General  adopted  SOP  98-1,
"Accounting  for the  Costs of  Computer  Software  Developed  or  Obtained  for
Internal  Use." This SOP specifies  the types of costs that must be  capitalized
and amortized  over the software's  expected  useful life and the types of costs
that must be immediately  recognized as expense.  Implementation of this SOP did
not have a material  effect on results of  operations,  liquidity  or  financial
condition.  The effect of this pronouncement on Connecticut  General's financial
statements  in  future  periods  will  vary  based  on  the  level  of  software
development costs incurred.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities.

In 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133 requires that derivatives be reported on the
balance sheet at fair value.  Changes in fair value are recognized in net income
or, for  derivatives  that hedge  market risk  related to future cash flows,  in
accumulated other comprehensive income. Companies are required to implement SFAS
No. 133 by the first quarter of 2001,  showing the cumulative effect of adoption
in net income and accumulated other  comprehensive  income.  Connecticut General
has not  determined  whether it will adopt  these  changes  before the  required
implementation date or what their effect will be.

C.   Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business,  Connecticut  General enters into transactions
involving various types of financial  instruments.  These financial  instruments
include investments (such as fixed maturities and equity securities),  short and
long-term debt, and  off-balance-sheet  instruments (such as investment and loan
commitments and financial guarantees). These instruments may change in value due
to interest rate and market fluctuations, and most have credit risk. Connecticut
General evaluates and monitors each financial instrument  individually and, when
management  considers it  appropriate,  uses certain  derivative  instruments or
obtains collateral or other forms of security to limit risk of loss.

Most  financial   instruments   that  are  subject  to  fair  value   disclosure
requirements (such as fixed maturities and equity securities) are carried in the
financial  statements at amounts that approximate fair value. At the end of 1999
and 1998,  the fair  values of  mortgage  loans,  contractholder  deposit  funds
(non-insurance  products), and long-term debt were not materially different from
their carrying amounts.  Fair values of off-balance-sheet  financial instruments
were not material.

Fair values of  financial  instruments  are based on quoted  market  prices when
available. When market prices are not available, management estimates fair value
based on discounted  cash flow  analyses,  which use current  interest rates for
similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

quality.  Management  estimates the fair value of liabilities for contractholder
deposit  funds using the amount  payable on demand and, for those  deposit funds
not payable on demand,  using  discounted cash flow analyses.  In many cases, an
estimate of the fair value of a financial  instrument  may differ  significantly
from the amount that could be realized if the instrument were sold immediately.

D.    Investments

Connecticut  General's  accounting  policies for investment assets are discussed
below.

Fixed  maturities and mortgage loans.  Investments in fixed  maturities  include
bonds,  mortgage- and other  asset-backed  securities and  redeemable  preferred
stocks.  These  investments are classified as available for sale and are carried
at fair value. Fixed maturities are considered  impaired,  and amortized cost is
written  down to fair  value,  when  management  expects a  decline  in value to
persist.

Mortgage  loans are carried at unpaid  principal  balances.  Impaired  loans are
carried  at the fair  value of the  underlying  collateral.  Mortgage  loans are
considered  impaired  when it is  probable  that  Connecticut  General  will not
collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement.

When an investment is current,  Connecticut  General recognizes  interest income
when it is earned.  Connecticut  General stops  recognizing  interest  income on
fixed maturities and mortgage loans when they are delinquent or restructured for
troubled  borrowers  to modify  basic  financial  terms,  such as to reduce  the
interest  rate or extend  the  maturity  date.  Net  investment  income on these
investments is recognized only when payment is received.

Real estate. Investment real estate can be held to produce income or for sale.

Connecticut  General  carries real estate held to produce  income at depreciated
cost less any  write-downs  to fair  value due to  impairment.  Depreciation  is
generally  calculated  using the  straight-line  method  based on the  estimated
useful life of each asset.

Connecticut  General acquires most real estate held for sale through foreclosure
of mortgage  loans.  At the time of  foreclosure,  properties are valued at fair
value less estimated costs to sell, and are reclassified  from mortgage loans to
real estate held for sale. After  foreclosure,  these investments are carried at
the lower of fair  value at  foreclosure  or current  fair value less  estimated
costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. Valuation reserves reflect changes
in fair value after foreclosure.  Connecticut General rehabilitates,  re-leases,
and sells foreclosed properties held for sale, a process that usually takes from
two to four years, unless management considers a near-term sale preferable.

Connecticut  General  uses several  methods to determine  the fair value of real
estate,  but relies  primarily on  discounted  cash flow  analyses  and, in some
cases, third-party appraisals.

Equity securities and short-term  investments.  Connecticut  General  classifies
equity  securities and short-term  investments as available for sale and carries
them at fair value, which for short-term  investments  approximates cost. Equity
securities include common and non-redeemable preferred stocks.

Policy loans. Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances.

Investment  gains and losses.  Realized  investment gains and losses result from
sales,  investment asset  write-downs and changes in valuation  reserves and are
based on specifically  identified assets.  Connecticut General's net income does
not include gains and losses on investment  assets  related to  experience-rated
pension  policyholders'  contracts and  participating  life  insurance  policies
(policyholder   share)   because   these   amounts   generally   accrue  to  the
policyholders.

Unrealized gains and losses on investments carried at fair value are included in
accumulated other  comprehensive  income, net of policyholder share and deferred
income taxes.

Derivative  financial  instruments.  Note 4(F) discusses  Connecticut  General's
accounting policies for derivative financial instruments.

E.       Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents  consist of short-term  investments that mature in three months
or less at the time of purchase.

F.       Reinsurance Recoverables

Reinsurance  recoverables are estimates of amounts that Connecticut General will
receive  from  reinsurers.


<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Allowances  are  established  for  amounts  owed  to
Connecticut  General under reinsurance  contracts that management  believes will
not be received.

G.       Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Acquisition  costs consist of commissions,  premium taxes,  and other costs that
Connecticut General incurs to acquire new business. Acquisition costs for:

o    contractholder  deposit funds and universal  life products are deferred and
     amortized  in  proportion  to the present  value of total  estimated  gross
     profits over the expected lives of the contracts.

o    annuity and other  individual  life  insurance  products  are  deferred and
     amortized,  generally in proportion  to the ratio of annual  revenue to the
     estimated total revenues over the contract periods.

o        other products are expensed as incurred.

Management estimates future revenues less expected claims on products that carry
deferred  policy  acquisition  costs. If that estimate is less than the deferred
costs, Connecticut General reduces deferred policy acquisition costs and records
an expense.

H.       Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated  depreciation.  When
applicable,  cost includes interest,  real estate taxes and other costs incurred
during  construction.  Connecticut General calculates  depreciation  principally
using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of each asset.
Accumulated depreciation was $506 million at December 31, 1999, and $490 million
at December 31, 1998.

I.       Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of various insurance-related assets.

J.       Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill  represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the fair
value of their net assets. Other intangible assets primarily represent purchased
customer lists and provider contracts.

Connecticut  General amortizes goodwill and other intangibles on a straight-line
basis  over  periods  ranging  from  five  to  40  years.   Management   revises
amortization  periods  if it  believes  there has been a change in the length of
time that the intangibles will continue to have value.  Accumulated amortization
was $167 million at December 31, 1999, and $143 million at December 31, 1998.

For businesses that have recorded goodwill,  management  analyzes historical and
estimated  future income or  undiscounted  cash flows. If such results are lower
than the amount recorded as goodwill,  Connecticut  General reduces goodwill and
records an expense.

K.       Separate Accounts

Separate  account assets and liabilities are  policyholder  funds  maintained in
accounts  with specific  investment  objectives.  These  accounts are carried at
market  value.  The  investment  income,  gains  and  losses  of these  accounts
generally  accrue  to the  policyholders  and are not  included  in  Connecticut
General's revenues and expenses.

L.       Contractholder Deposit Funds

Liabilities  for  contractholder  deposit funds include  deposits  received from
customers  for  investment-related  and universal  life products and  investment
earnings  on their fund  balances.  These  liabilities  are  adjusted to reflect
administrative  charges,   policyholder  share  of  unrealized  appreciation  or
depreciation  on  investment  assets  and,  for  universal  life fund  balances,
mortality charges.

M.       Unpaid Claims and Claim Expenses

Liabilities for unpaid claims and claim expenses are estimates of payments to be
made under  health  and  dental  coverages  for  reported  claims and for losses
incurred  but  not yet  reported.  Management  develops  these  estimates  using
actuarial methods based upon historical data for payment patterns,  cost trends,
product mix, seasonality, utilization of health care services and other relevant
factors.  When estimates change,  Connecticut  General records the adjustment in
benefits, losses and settlement expenses.

N.       Future Policy Benefits

Future policy benefits are liabilities for estimated  future  obligations  under
traditional  life and health policies and annuity  products  currently in force.
Management  develops these estimates using premium assumptions for group annuity
policies and assumes  receipt of premiums until benefits are paid for individual
life  policies.  These  estimation  techniques  rely on assumptions as to future

<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

investment yield, mortality and withdrawals that allow for adverse deviation.

Future policy  benefits for individual  life insurance and annuity  policies are
computed using interest rate assumptions  that generally  decline over the first
20  years  and  range  from  2% to 11%.  Mortality,  morbidity,  and  withdrawal
assumptions are based on either Connecticut General's own experience or industry
actuarial tables.

O.       Unearned Premiums

Premiums  for group life,  accident,  and health  insurance  are  recognized  as
revenue on a pro rata basis over the contract period.  The unrecognized  portion
of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums.

P.       Other Liabilities

Other  liabilities  consist  principally of  postretirement  and  postemployment
benefits and various insurance-related liabilities, including amounts related to
reinsurance   contracts  and  guaranty  fund  assessments  that  management  can
reasonably estimate.

Q.       Translation of Foreign Currencies

Connecticut  General's foreign operations  primarily use the local currencies as
their functional  currencies.  Connecticut General uses exchange rates as of the
balance sheet date to translate assets and liabilities.

The translation gain or loss on functional currencies,  net of applicable taxes,
is generally  reflected in accumulated other comprehensive  income.  Connecticut
General uses average  exchange  rates during the year to translate  revenues and
expenses.

R.       Premiums and Fees, Revenues and Related Expenses

Premiums for group life, accident and health insurance are recognized as revenue
on a pro rata basis over the contract  period.  Benefits,  losses and settlement
expenses are recognized when incurred.

Premiums  for  individual  life  insurance  and  individual  and  group  annuity
products,   excluding  universal  life  and  investment-related   products,  are
recognized as revenue when due.  Benefits,  losses and  settlement  expenses are
matched with premiums.

Revenue for investment-related products is recognized as follows:

o Net  investment  income on assets  supporting  investment-related  products is
recognized as earned.

o    Contract fees, which are based upon related  administrative  expenses,  are
     assessed  against the  customer's  fund  balance  ratably over the contract
     year.

Benefit expenses for  investment-related  products  consist  primarily of income
credited to policyholders in accordance with contract provisions.

Revenue for universal life products is recognized as follows:

o Net  investment  income  on  assets  supporting  universal  life  products  is
recognized  as earned.  o Fees for  mortality  are  recognized  ratably over the
policy year. o Administration fees are recognized as services are provided.

o        Surrender charges are recognized as earned.

Benefit expenses for universal life products consist of benefit claims in excess
of policyholder  account  balances which are recognized when filed,  and amounts
credited in accordance with contract provisions.

S.       Participating Business

Connecticut   General's    participating   life   insurance   policies   entitle
policyholders  to earn  dividends  that  represent a portion of the  earnings of
Connecticut General's life insurance  subsidiaries.  Participating  insurance in
force  accounted  for  approximately  7% of  Connecticut  General's  total  life
insurance in force at the end of 1999, 1998 and 1997.

T.       Income Taxes

Connecticut   General  and  its  domestic   subsidiaries  are  included  in  the
consolidated  United  States  federal  income  tax  return  filed by CIGNA.  The
provision for federal  income tax is calculated as if  Connecticut  General were
filing a separate  federal  income tax  return.  Connecticut  General  generally
recognizes  deferred  income taxes when assets and  liabilities  have  different
values  for  financial   statement  and  tax   reporting   purposes   (temporary
differences).

Note 7 contains detailed information about Connecticut General's income taxes.

Note 3 - Disposition

Connecticut  General  conducts  regular  strategic and financial  reviews of its
businesses  to  ensure  that  capital  is used  effectively.  As a result of its
review,  Connecticut  General sold its  individual  life  insurance  and annuity
business  for cash  proceeds  of $1.4  billion as of  January 1, 1998.  The sale
generated an after-tax  gain of $773 million.  Of this amount,  $202 million was
recognized  at the time of sale.  The  remaining  gain was deferred  because the
principal  agreement  to  sell  this  business  was  an  indemnity   reinsurance
arrangement.  The deferred portion is being recognized at the rate that earnings
from the sold  business  would  have been  expected  to emerge,  primarily  over
fifteen years on a declining basis.

Connecticut  General recognized $62 million of the deferred gain in 1999 and $66
million of the deferred gain in 1998.

As part of the sale,  Connecticut  General  transferred  invested assets of $5.4
billion and various  other assets and  liabilities,  and recorded a  reinsurance
recoverable of $5.8 billion for insurance liabilities retained.

In 1997,  revenues  for the sold  business  were $972 million and net income was
$102 million.

Actual maturities could differ from contractual  maturities  because issuers may
have the right to call or prepay obligations,  with or without penalties.  Also,
in some cases Connecticut General may extend maturity dates.

Gross unrealized  appreciation  (depreciation)  on fixed  maturities,  including
policyholder share, by type of issuer was as follows:

At December  31,  1999,  Connecticut  General had  commitments  to purchase  $36
million of fixed maturities. Most of these commitments are to purchase unsecured
investment  grade bonds,  bearing  interest at a fixed  market rate.  These bond
commitments  are  diversified by issuer and maturity date.  Connecticut  General
expects to disburse approximately 75% of the committed amount in 2000.

B.       Mortgage Loans and Real Estate

Connecticut General's mortgage loans and real estate investments are diversified
by property type and location.  Mortgage loans are also diversified by borrower.

$1.3  in  2004,  and  $3.2  thereafter.  Actual  maturities  could  differ  from
contractual  maturities  for several  reasons.  Borrowers  may have the right to
prepay obligations,  with or without prepayment penalties; the maturity date may
be extended; and loans may be refinanced.

At December 31, 1999, Connecticut General had commitments to extend credit under
commercial mortgage loan agreements of approximately $111 million, most of which
were at a fixed market rate of interest.  These loan commitments are diversified
by property type and geographic region.  Connecticut General expects to disburse

Impaired mortgage loans, before valuation reserves,  averaged approximately $183
million in 1999,  and $285 million in 1998.  Interest  income  recorded and cash
received  on  impaired  loans  were  approximately  $19  million in 1999 and $12
million in 1998.

During 1999,  Connecticut  General  refinanced  approximately $96 million of its
mortgage  loans  at  current  market  rates  for  borrowers   unable  to  obtain
alternative financing, compared to $126 million in 1998.

Real estate.  During 1999, non-cash investing activities included $13 million of
real estate  acquired  through  foreclosure of mortgage  loans,  compared to $32
million for 1998 and $81 million for 1997.  The total of valuation  reserves and
cumulative write-downs related to real estate, including policyholder share, was
$143  million at the end of 1999,  compared to $171  million at the end of 1998.
Net investment income from real estate held for sale was $6 million for 1999 and
$8 million for 1998.  Write-downs  upon  foreclosure  and  changes in  valuation
reserves were not material for 1999 or 1998.

F.       Derivative Financial Instruments

Connecticut  General's  investment  strategy is to manage the characteristics of
investment  and  other   assets--such   as  duration,   yield,   currency,   and
liquidity--to  reflect the  varying  characteristics  of the related  insurance,
contractholder and other liabilities.  In implementing its investment  strategy,
Connecticut General  substantially  limits its use of derivative  instruments to
hedging  applications  designed to limit interest rate,  foreign  exchange,  and
equity price risks.  The effects of derivatives were not material for 1999, 1998
or 1997.

Hedge accounting treatment. Accounting rules provide that companies may only use
hedge  accounting  when it is  probable  that there  will be a high  correlation
between the changes in fair value or cash flow of a  derivative  instrument  and
the changes in fair value or cash flow of the related hedged asset or liability.
These changes are  recognized  together in net income and generally  offset each
other.

When hedge accounting treatment does not apply,  Connecticut General records the
derivative  at fair  value.  Changes  in fair value are then  recognized  in net
income, or in contractholder liabilities for certain derivatives associated with
experience-rated pension policyholders.

Credit risk.  Connecticut  General  routinely  monitors  exposure to credit risk
associated with swap and option  contracts,  and diversifies the portfolio among
approved dealers of high credit quality to limit risk.

Derivative  instruments  used.  The table below presents  information  about the
nature and accounting  treatment of Connecticut  General's  derivative financial
instruments, and includes their

Net investment income attributable to policyholder contracts,  which is included
in Connecticut General's revenues and is primarily offset by amounts included in
benefits,  losses and settlement  expenses,  was approximately  $1.4 billion for
1999,  $1.6 billion for 1998, and $1.7 billion for 1997.  Net investment  income
for separate accounts, which is not reflected in Connecticut General's revenues,
was $1.7 billion

for 1999, $1.5 billion for 1998, and $1.4 billion for 1997.

Fixed   maturities  and  mortgage  loans  on   non-accrual   status,   including
policyholder share, were as follows at December 31:

 Total non-accrual investments    $        188    $        209

In 1999,  net investment  income was $9 million higher than net interest  income
would  have  been  under  the  original  terms of these  securities,  reflecting
collections of unrecognized  interest income.  For 1998 and 1997, net investment
income  would have been  higher by $8 million  and $11 million in those years if
interest  on  these  non-accrued  investments  would  have  been  recognized  in
accordance with their original terms.

Realized gains (losses) on investments,  excluding  policyholder  share, for the
year ended December 31 were as follows:

Note 6 - Shareholder's Equity and Dividend Restrictions

The  Connecticut  Insurance  Department,  which regulates  Connecticut  General,
prescribes  accounting  practices to determine  statutory net income and surplus
(shareholder's  equity). The prescribed  accounting practices differ in a number
of ways from generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Connecticut  General's
statutory net income for the year ended,  and surplus as of, December 31 were as
follows:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
(In millions)                        1999       1998       1997

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
 Net income                     $     747  $     824  $     417
 Surplus                        $   1,981  $  1,789   $  2,182
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

Connecticut  General is subject to restrictions  that limit the amount of annual
dividends or other  distributions  (such as loans or cash advances) available to
their shareholders without prior approval of regulatory authorities. The maximum
dividend  distribution  that  Connecticut  General may make during 2000  without
prior  approval is  approximately  $0.7 billion.  The amount of  restricted  net
assets as of December 31, 1999 was approximately $2.7 billion.

Connecticut  General's  capital  stock  consisted of 5,978,322  shares of common
stock  authorized  and  outstanding  as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 (par value
$5).

Note 7 - Income Taxes

Connecticut General's net deferred tax assets of $933 million as of December 31,
1999, and $865 million as of December 31, 1998, reflect management's belief that
Connecticut  General's  taxable  income in future  years will be  sufficient  to
realize the net deferred tax asset.  This  determination is based on Connecticut
General's earnings history and future expectations.

Through  1983,  a portion  of  Connecticut  General's  statutory  income was not
subject  to  current  income  taxation,  but  was  accumulated  in a  designated


<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

policyholders'  surplus  account.  Additions  to  the  account  were  no  longer
permitted beginning in 1984.  Connecticut  General's existing account balance of
$450  million  would  result in a $158  million  tax  liability  only if it were
distributed  to  shareholders  or  exceeded a  prescribed  amount.  Accordingly,
Connecticut  General has not provided  taxes on this amount,  as management  has
determined,  it is remote these conditions will be met. However, see Note 13 for
further information regarding this matter.

CIGNA's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS).  In  management's  opinion,  adequate tax  liabilities  have been
established for all years.  Income taxes and deferred tax balances for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 reflect state income taxes.  State income taxes
were not material in 1997.

The tax effect of temporary  differences  which give rise to deferred income tax
assets and liabilities as of December 31 were as follows:

Note 8 - Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

A.       Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Connecticut  General provides pension and certain health care and life insurance
benefits to eligible  retired  employees and agents,  spouses and other eligible
dependents through various plans. The expenses of retirement plans are allocated
to Connecticut General along with other benefit cost allocations.

Pension  benefits are provided  through a plan  sponsored by CIGNA covering most
domestic employees and by a separate pension plan for former agents. CIGNA funds
the  pension  plans at least at the  minimum  amount  required  by the  Employee
Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974.  Allocated pension cost for Connecticut
General was $19 million in 1999 and 1998 and $24 million in 1997.  The plans had
deposits  with  Connecticut  General  totaling  approximately  $2.1  billion  at
December 31, 1999 and $2.8 billion at December 31, 1998.

Expense  for  post  retirement   benefits  other  than  pensions   allocated  to
Connecticut  General  totaled $6 million for 1999 and $2 million  for 1998.  The
other post retirement  benefit liability  included in accounts payable,  accrued
expenses  and other  liabilities,  was $377  million as of December 31, 1999 and
$387 million as of December 31, 1998.

B.       401(k) Plans

CIGNA  sponsors  various  401(k)  plans in which  CIGNA  matches  a  portion  of
employees'  pre-tax

<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

contributions.  Employees  may invest in one or more of the
following funds:  CIGNA common stock fund,  several  diversified  stock funds, a
bond fund and a fixed-income fund.

CIGNA may  elect to  increase  its  matching  contributions  if  CIGNA's  annual
performance  meets certain  targets.  A substantial  amount of CIGNA's  matching
contributions are invested in the CIGNA common stock fund. Connecticut General's
allocated expense for these plans was $20 million for 1999, $22 million for 1998
and $15 million for 1997.

Note 9 - Reinsurance

In the normal course of business,  Connecticut  General  enters into  agreements
with other insurance  companies to assume and cede  reinsurance.  Reinsurance is
ceded primarily to limit losses from large exposures and to permit recovery of a
portion of direct losses.  Reinsurance does not relieve the originating  insurer
of liability.  Connecticut  General  evaluates  the  financial  condition of its
reinsurers  and  monitors  their  concentrations  of credit risk  (arising  from
similar geographic regions, activities, or economic characteristics).

At December 31, 1999, Connecticut General had a reinsurance  recoverable of $6.0
billion from Lincoln National  Corporation that arose as a result of the sale of
Connecticut  General's individual life insurance and annuity business to Lincoln
through an indemnity reinsurance  transaction.  See Note 3 for information about
this sale.

Failure of  reinsurers  to indemnify  Connecticut  General,  whether  because of
reinsurer  insolvencies or contract disputes,  could result in losses.  However,
management  does not expect  charges  for  unrecoverable  reinsurance  to have a
material  effect on Connecticut  General's  results of operations,  liquidity or
financial condition.

In Connecticut General's consolidated income statements,  premiums and fees were
net of ceded premiums, and benefits,  losses and settlement expenses were net of
reinsurance recoveries, in the following amounts:

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

The  effects of  reinsurance  on written  premiums  and fees for  short-duration
contracts  were not  materially  different  from the amounts  shown in the above
table.

Ceded premiums and  reinsurance  recoveries  associated with the individual life
and insurance  businesses  sold were $462 million and $362 million for 1999, and
$741 million and $550 million for 1998.

Note 10 - Leases and Rentals

Rental expenses for operating leases,  principally for office space, amounted to
$42 million in 1999 and 1998, and $76 million in 1997.

As of December 31, 1999, future net minimum rental payments under non-cancelable
operating  leases  were  approximately  $230  million,  payable as  follows  (in
millions):  $39 in 2000, $35 in 2001, $32 in 2002, $28 in 2003, $24 in 2004, and
$72 thereafter.

Note 11 - Segment Information

Operating  segments  are  based  on  Connecticut  General's  internal  reporting
structure.  Segments  generally reflect groups of related products.  Connecticut
General presents segment information as follows:

Employee Health Care, Life and Disability  Benefits,  which combines Connecticut
General's Health Care and Group Insurance segments,  offers a range of indemnity
group health and managed care


<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

products and services  through  guaranteed  cost,
experience rated and alternative  funding  arrangements  such as  administrative
services only and minimum premium plans. This segment also offers group life and
disability coverages.

Employee   Retirement  Benefits  and  Investment  Services  provides  investment
products and professional  services  primarily to sponsors of qualified pension,
profit sharing and retirement  savings plans. This segment also provides certain
corporate and variable life insurance products.

Other  Operations  consists of  deferred  gain  recognized  from the sale of the
individual  life  insurance and annuity  business;  corporate  life insurance on
which policy loans are outstanding  (leveraged corporate life insurance);  life,
accident and health reinsurance  operations;  settlement  annuity business;  and
certain new business initiatives.

Connecticut  General  measures  the  financial  results  of its  segments  using
operating income (net income excluding after-tax realized  investment  results).
Connecticut General determines operating income for each segment consistent with
the accounting policies for the consolidated  financial statements.  Connecticut
General allocates other corporate  general,  administrative and systems expenses
on systematic bases. Income taxes are generally computed as if each segment were
filing separate income tax returns.

Connecticut  General's  operations are not materially  dependent on one or a few
customers, brokers or agents.

Summarized  segment financial  information for the year ended and as of December
31 was as follows:

Account, are allowed on a demand basis.  Connecticut General had balances in the
Account of $0.8  billion at December  31, 1999 and $1.1  billion at December 31,
1998.

CIGNA allocates to Connecticut  General its share of operating expenses incurred
at the  corporate  level.  Connecticut  General also  allocates a portion of its
operating  expenses  to  affiliated  companies  for  whom  it  performs  certain
administrative services.

Note 13 - Contingencies

A.       Financial Guarantees

Connecticut  General is  contingently  liable for various  financial  guarantees
provided in the ordinary  course of business.  Connecticut  General also secures
reinsurance to recover a portion of amounts paid in connection  with a financial
guarantee.

Specialty life reinsurance contracts.

Connecticut  General has entered into specialty life reinsurance  contracts that
contain  certain  guarantees  for variable  annuities.  One type of  reinsurance
contract  guarantees  minimum income  benefits  based on unfavorable  changes in
account values. The other type guarantees a minimum death benefit, also based on
unfavorable  changes in account values.  The variable annuity account values are
based on underlying domestic equity and bond mutual fund investments.

Those reinsurance contracts that guarantee minimum income benefits are accounted
for as written options. Connecticut General has purchased reinsurance from third
parties which substantially reduces the risk of these contracts.  See Note 4 (f)
for additional information.

For those reinsurance contracts that guarantee minimum death benefits,  reserves
are established in amounts  adequate to meet the estimated  future  obligations.
These estimates are based on various  assumptions as to equity market conditions
and  premiums,  as well as interest,  mortality  and lapse  rates,  allowing for
adverse deviation.  As of December 31, 1999, the amount of recorded  liabilities
was $83 million,  compared to recorded liabilities of $52 million as of December
31, 1998.

Management is reviewing  alternatives to manage the associated equity market and
interest rate risks for contracts that guarantee minimum death benefits. As part
of this review,  Connecticut  General is  considering  whether to modify certain
reserve assumptions for the contracts.  The guarantees under these contracts and
changes that could result from this review could  adversely  affect  Connecticut
General's  consolidated  results  of  operations  in  future  periods.  However,
management does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on Connecticut
General's liquidity or financial condition.

Separate account  contracts.  Connecticut  General guarantees a minimum level of
benefits for certain  separate  account  contracts.  If assets in these separate
accounts are insufficient to fund minimum policy benefits,  Connecticut  General
is obligated to pay the difference.

As of December 31, 1999, Connecticut General guaranteed minimum benefits of $4.9
billion for separate account  contracts,  compared to $5.1 billion at the end of
1998. The management fee that Connecticut  General charges to separate  accounts
includes a guarantee fee. These fees are recognized in income as earned.

Connecticut   General  establishes  a  liability  if  management  believes  that
Connecticut  General will be required to make a payment under a separate account
contract guarantee. No such liabilities were required as of December 31, 1999 or
1998. If Connecticut  General becomes  obligated to make payments as a result of
these guarantees,  those obligations may adversely affect Connecticut  General's
results of operations in future  periods.  However,  management  does not expect
these  guarantee  obligations  to have a material  adverse effect on Connecticut
General's liquidity or financial condition.

Industrial revenue bonds. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998,  Connecticut General
guaranteed $85 million of industrial revenue bond issues. These bond issues will
be  outstanding  for up to 16 more years.  If the issuers  default,  Connecticut
General will


<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

be required to make periodic  payments  based on the original terms
of the bonds.  Unlike  many debt  obligations,  an event of default  under these
bonds will not cause all  scheduled  principal  and interest  payments to be due
immediately.

Connecticut  General  limits its  exposure  to credit risk due to default by the
primary borrower by reviewing the  creditworthiness of guaranteed parties and by
monitoring  credit  conditions  regularly.  Connecticut  General  establishes  a
reserve if management believes that Connecticut General will be required to make
a payment under a financial guarantee.

B.   Regulatory and Industry Developments

Connecticut  General's  businesses are subject to a changing  social,  economic,
legal,  legislative  and regulatory  environment.  Some of the more  significant
current issues that may affect Connecticut General's businesses include:

o        efforts to expand tort liability of health plans;
o        proposed class action lawsuits targeting health care companies;
o        initiatives to increase health care regulation;
o        initiatives to restrict insurance pricing and the application of
         underwriting standards; and
o        efforts to revise federal tax laws.

Health  care  regulation.   Efforts  are  underway  in  the  federal  and  state
legislatures  and in the  courts  to  increase  regulation  of the  health  care
industry  and change  its  operational  practices.  Regulatory  and  operational
changes  could have an  adverse  effect on  Connecticut  General's  health  care
activities if they reduce  marketplace  competition  and innovation or result in
increased medical or administrative  costs without improving the quality of care
or member satisfaction.

Other regulatory changes that have been under  consideration and that could have
an adverse effect on Connecticut General's health care operations include:

o  mandated benefits or services that increase costs without improving the
   quality of care;
o  managed care reform and patients' bill of rights legislation;
o  loss of the ERISA  preemption of state tort laws through  legislative
   actions and  court  decisions;
o  changes  in  ERISA  regulations  imposing  increased administrative burdens
   and costs;
o  restrictions on the use of prescription drug formularies;  and
o  privacy  legislation  that  interferes  with the  ability to properly use
   medical information for research, coordination of medical care and disease
   management.

Federal budget proposals.  The Administration's  proposed budget for fiscal year
2001  would tax  amounts  previously  accumulated  in a  policyholders'  surplus
account.  If enacted,  Connecticut  General  will record  additional  income tax
expense  of $158  million.  (See  Note 7 to the  Financial  Statements  for more
information.)

The proposed budget also would restrict the tax benefits for corporations owning
nonleveraged   corporate  life  insurance  policies.  If  enacted  as  proposed,
Connecticut General does not anticipate that this provision will have a material
effect on its  consolidated  results  of  operations,  liquidity,  or  financial
condition,  but it could  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  results  of
operations of the Employee Retirement Benefits and Investment Services segment.

Tax  benefits for  corporate-owned  life  insurance.  In 1996,  Congress  passed
legislation  implementing a three-year phase-out period for tax deductibility of
policy loan interest for most leveraged corporate life insurance products.  As a
result,  management  expects revenues and operating income associated with these
products  to  continue  to  decline.  In 1999,  revenues  of $350  million,  and
operating  income of $32 million,  were from  products that are affected by this
legislation.

Statutory  accounting  principles.   In  1998,  the  NAIC  adopted  standardized
statutory  accounting  principles.  Although  many states have  indicated  their
intent to adopt these principles,  Connecticut,  in which Connecticut General is
domiciled,  has not formally adopted them. As a result,  Connecticut General has
not determined the timing or effect of implementing these principles.

Insolvency  funds.  Various  states  maintain  funds to pay the  obligations  of
insolvent insurance companies. These funds are financed with assessments against
all  insurance  companies  writing  business  in that  state.  In  some  states,
insurance  companies  can  recover  a  portion  of these  assessments  through a
reduction in future premium taxes.  Connecticut General recorded pre-tax charges
for  continuing  operations of $8 million for 1999, $18


<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

million for 1998 and $28
million for 1997 for  insolvency  fund and other  insurance-related  assessments
that can be reasonably  estimated,  before  giving effect to future  premium tax
recoveries.

Although  future  assessments  and  payments  may  adversely  affect  results of
operations in future periods, management does not expect these amounts to have a
material  adverse  effect  on  Connecticut   General's  liquidity  or  financial
condition.

C.       Class Action Lawsuits and Other Litigation

Connecticut  General, its direct parent,  Connecticut General  Corporation,  its
indirect parent, CIGNA, and its affiliate, CIGNA Health Corporation, and several
health care industry  competitors  have had proposed class action lawsuits filed
against them by a coalition of  plaintiffs'  attorneys.  These  lawsuits  allege
violations under RICO and ERISA.  Connecticut  General is routinely  involved in
numerous  lawsuits  arising,  for the most part,  in the ordinary  course of the
business of administering and insuring  employee benefit programs.  Although the
outcome of litigation is always uncertain,  Connecticut General does not believe
that any  litigation  currently  threatened  or  pending  involving  Connecticut
General will result in losses that differ from recorded reserves by amounts that
would be material to results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of CG Variable Annuity Separate Account as
of December 31, 1999 (including the assets of each of the individual
sub-accounts which comprise the Account), and the results of operations for

CG VARIABLE ANNUITY SEPARATE ACCOUNT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

1.   ORGANIZATION

     CG Variable Annuity Separate Account (the "Account"), a unit investment
     trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
     Investment Company Act of 1940, is a Separate Account of Connecticut
     General Life Insurance Company ("CG Life"). The assets of the Account are
     legally segregated from those of CG Life.

     Effective January 1, 1998, CG Life contracted the administrative servicing
     obligations of its individual variable annuity business to the Lincoln
     National Life Insurance Company and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New
     York ("Lincoln Companies"). Effective September 1, 1998, the Lincoln
     Companies subcontracted the administrative servicing obligations of the
     variable annuity business included in the Account to Allstate Life
     Insurance Company ("Allstate Life") and Allstate Life Insurance Company of
     New York ("Allstate New York"). Although CG Life is responsible for all
     policy terms and conditions, Allstate Life and Allstate New York are
     responsible for servicing the individual annuity contracts, including the
     payment of benefits, oversight of investment management and contract
     administration. These services were transitioned from the Lincoln Companies
     on April 12, 1999.

     CG Life issues the AIM/CIGNA Heritage Variable Annuity, the deposits of
     which are invested at the direction of the contractholders in the
     sub-accounts that comprise the Account. Absent any contract provisions
     wherein CG Life contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account
     value to the beneficiaries of the contractholders in the form of a death
     benefit, the contractholders bear the investment risk that the sub-accounts
     may not meet their stated objectives. The sub-accounts invest in the
     following underlying mutual fund portfolios of the AIM Variable Insurance
     Funds (the "Funds").

     CG Life provides insurance and administrative services to the
     contractholders for a fee. CG Life also maintains a fixed account ("Fixed
     Account"), to which contractholders may direct their deposits and receive a
     fixed rate of return. CG Life has sole discretion to invest the assets of
     the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Investments consist of shares of the Funds and
     are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices at December 31,
     1999.

     INVESTMENT INCOME - Investment income consists of dividends declared by the
     Funds and is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

     REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES - Realized gains and losses represent the
     difference between the proceeds from sales of portfolio shares by the
     Account and the cost of such shares, which is determined on a weighted
     average basis.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - The Account intends to qualify as a segregated asset
     account as defined in the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). As such, the
     operations of the Account are included in the tax return of CG Life. CG
     Life is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. No federal income
     taxes are allocable to the Account as the Account did not generate taxable
     income.

     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 those
     estimates.


3.   EXPENSES

     ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE - CG Life deducts administrative expense
     charges daily at a rate equal to .10% per annum of the average daily net
     assets of the Account.

     ANNUITY ACCOUNT FEE - CG Life deducts an annual maintenance charge of $35
     on the last valuation date of each calendar year. This charge will be
     waived if total deposits are $100,000 or more on the last valuation date of
     that year.

     MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE - CG Life assumes mortality and expense
     risks related to the operations of the Account and deducts charges daily at
     a rate equal to 1.25% per annum of the daily net assets of the Account. The
     mortality and expense risk charge covers insurance benefits available with
     the contract and certain expenses of the contract. It also covers the risk
     that the current charges will not be sufficient in the future to cover the
     cost of administering the contract.

                       Enhanced Death Benefit Endorsement

The following replaces the Amount of Death Benefit provision of your Contract as
of ______________ ("Endorsement Effective Date")

Amount of Death  Benefit.  The Death  Benefit is  determined as of the effective
date or deemed  effective date of the Death Benefit election and is equal to the
greatest of (a) the Annuity Account Value for the Valuation  Period during which
the Death Benefit  election is effective or is deemed to become  effective;  (b)
the sum of all the Premium  Payment(s)  made under the contract  less the sum of
all  partial  withdrawals;  (c) the  Annuity  Account  Value  on the  seven-year
Contract Anniversary  immediately  preceding the date the Death Benefit election
is  effective  or is deemed to become  effective,  adjusted  for any  subsequent
Premium   Payments  and  partial   withdrawals  and  charges  made  between  the
immediately  preceding  seven-year  Contract  Anniversary and the date the Death
Benefit  election is effective or is deemed to become  effective (as  referenced
herein,  seven-year Contract  Anniversary means the 7th Contract Anniversary and
each  succeeding  Contract  Anniversary  occurring  at any  seven-year  interval
thereafter,  for example,  the 14th and 21st  Contract  Anniversaries);  (d) the
amount  that would have been  payable  in the event of a full  surrender  of the
Annuity Account on the date the Death Benefit election is effective or is deemed
to become effective or (e) the Maximum Anniversary Value.

For  Premium  Payments,  the  Maximum  Anniversary  Value  is  equal to the most
recently calculated Maximum Anniversary Value plus any Premium Payments received
after the most recent Contract Anniversary. For partial withdrawals, the Maximum
Anniversary Value is equal to the most recently  calculated Maximum  Anniversary
Value reduced by a Withdrawal  Adjustment,  as defined  below.  On each Contract
Anniversary,  the  Maximum  Anniversary  Value is equal  to the  greater  of the
Annuity Account Value or the most recently calculated Maximum Anniversary Value.
In the absence of any withdrawals or Premium Payments,  the Maximum  Anniversary
Value will be the greatest of all anniversary Annuity Account Values between the
Endorsement Effective Date and the date we calculate the death benefit.

The  calculation  of the  Maximum  Anniversary  Value  will  begin on your first
Contract   Anniversary  after  the  Endorsement   Effective  Date.  The  Maximum
Anniversary  Value will be  recalculated  until the first  Contract  Anniversary
after  the 75th  birthday  of the  owner,  or five  years  from the  Endorsement
Effective  Date,  whichever is later.  After that date, the Maximum  Anniversary
Value will be  recalculated  only for  Purchase  Payments and  withdrawals.  The
Maximum  Anniversary  Value will never be greater than the maximum death benefit
allowed by any non-forfeiture laws which govern this Contract.

The      Withdrawal  Adjustment is equal to (i) divided by (ii), with the result
         multiplied by (iii),  where:  (i) = the withdrawal  amount;  (ii) = the
         Annuity Account Value immediately prior to the withdrawal;  and (iii) =
         the  value  of the  Maximum  Anniversary  Value  immediately  prior  to
         withdrawal.

Except as specifically  altered by this  endorsement,  all of the provisions and
conditions remain in full force and effect.

                        Spousal Continuation Endorsement

The  following  Spousal  Continuation  provision  is added  following  the Death
Benefit provision of your Contract as of ____________________________:

Spousal  Continuation  The surviving  spouse of the deceased  owner may elect to
receive the Death  Benefit or may  continue  the  Contract  in the  Accumulation
Period as if the death had not  occurred.  If the  Contract is  continued in the
Accumulation Period, the following conditions apply:

o    On the day the Contract is continued, the Annuity Account Value will be the
     Death Benefit as determined at the end of the Valuation Period during which
     we receive due proof of death.

o    The surviving spouse may make a single  withdrawal of any amount within one
     year of the date of death without  incurring a withdrawal  charge or Market
     Value Adjustment.

o   Prior to the  Annuity  Date,  the  Amount of Death  Benefit  of the
    continued Contract will be the greatest of:

        o The  Annuity  Account  Value  on the date we  determine  the  Amount
          of Death Benefit; or

        o The  sum  of  all  purchase  payments  reduced  by  the  sum  of  all
          partial withdrawals; or

        o The amount that would have been  payable in the event of a full
          surrender  of the Annuity  Account on the date the Death  Benefit
          election is effective or is deemed to become effective.

Any other Death Benefit  alternatives in the contract or attached Enhanced Death
Benefit endorsement will no longer apply.

     Facility or  Hospital  for at least 90  consecutive  days,  confinement  is

Re:      CG Variable Annuity Separate Account
         Connecticut General Life Insurance Company
         Post-Effective Amendment Number 11 (File No. 33-48137)

Dear Sirs:

As Chief Counsel of the  Retirement and  Investment  Services  Division of CIGNA
Corporation,  I am  familiar  with the  actions  of the  Board of  Directors  of
Connecticut  General Life Insurance  Company (the  "Company"),  establishing the
Account and its method of operation and authorizing the filing of a Registration
Statement  under the Securities Act of 1933,  (and  amendments  thereto) for the
securities  to be issued by the Account and the  Investment  Company Act of 1940
for the Account itself.

In the course of preparing  this  opinion,  I have reviewed the  Certificate  of
Incorporation and the By Laws of the Company,  the Board actions with respect to
the Account, and such other matters as I deemed necessary or appropriate.  Based
on such review,  I am of the opinion that the variable  annuity  contracts  (and
interests therein) which are the subject of the Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the Account will when issued, be legally
issued and will represent binding obligations of the Company,  the depositor for
the Account.

I further  consent to the use of this  opinion  as an Exhibit to  Post-Effective
Amendment No. 11 to said Registration Statement and to the reference to me under
the heading "Experts" in said Registrations Statement, as amended.

                                           Very truly yours,


                                           /s/ Mark A. Parsons
                                           Mark A. Parsons
