FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE ANNUITY
issued by INTEGRITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
This prospectus describes a flexible premium variable annuity offered by
Integrity Life Insurance Company, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ARM
Financial Group, Inc. The individual contracts and group certificates
(contracts) offered by this prospectus provide several types of benefits, some
of which have tax-favored status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Contributions under the contracts may be allocated to the various
investment divisions of our Separate Account II (Variable Account Options, or
individually, Option) or to our Fixed Accounts, or both.
Contributions to the Variable Account Options are invested in shares of
corresponding portfolios of The Legends Fund, Inc. (the Fund), and the values
allocated to the Options reflect the investment performance of the Fund's
portfolios. The prospectus for the Fund describes the investment objectives,
policies and risks of each of the Fund's portfolios. There are ten Variable
Account Options available:

</TABLE>
We currently offer Guaranteed Rate Options ("GRO") and a Systematic Transfer
Option, together referred to as Fixed Accounts. Your allocation to a Guaranteed
Rate Option accumulates at a fixed interest rate we declare at the beginning of
the duration you select. A market value adjustment (Market Value Adjustment)
will be made for withdrawals, surrenders, transfers and certain other
transactions before the expiration of your GRO Account, but your value under a
GRO Account may not be decreased below an amount equal to your allocation plus
interest compounded at an annual effective rate of 3% (Minimum Value), less
previous withdrawals and any applicable contingent withdrawal charges. Your
allocation to the Systematic Transfer Option accumulates at a fixed interest
rate that we declare each calendar quarter, guaranteed never to be less than an
effective annual yield of 3%. You must transfer all contributions you make to
the Systematic Transfer Option into other Investment Options within one year of
contribution.
This prospectus contains information about the contracts that you should know
before investing. You should read this prospectus and any supplements, and
retain them for future reference. This prospectus is not valid unless provided

IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
<PAGE>
PART 1 -- SUMMARY
YOUR VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT
In this prospectus, we, our and us mean Integrity Life Insurance Company
(Integrity), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ARM Financial Group, Inc.
(ARM). We offer individual variable annuity contracts. In certain states, we
offer certificates under a group variable annuity contract instead of contracts.
When we use the words contract or certificate, we are referring to both the
individual contracts and the group certificates.
You can invest for retirement by purchasing a contract if you properly complete
a Customer Profile form (an application or enrollment form may be required in
some states) and make a minimum initial contribution. In this prospectus, you
and your mean the Annuitant, the person upon whose life the Annuity Benefit and
the Death Benefit are based, usually the Owner of the contract. If the Annuitant
does not own the contract, all of the rights under the contract belong to the
Owner until annuity payments begin.
Your retirement or endowment date (Retirement Date) will be the date you
specify, but no later than your 98th birthday or earlier, if required by law.
YOUR BENEFITS
Your contract provides an Account Value, an annuity benefit, and a death
benefit. See "Your Account Value," "Death Benefits and Similar Benefit
Distributions" and "Annuity Benefits" in Part 5.
Your benefits may be received under a contract subject to the usual rules for
taxation of annuities, including the tax-deferral of earnings until withdrawal.
The contract also can provide your benefits under certain tax-favored retirement
programs, which are subject to special rules covering such matters as
eligibility and contribution amounts. See Part 7, "Tax Aspects of the
Contracts" for detailed information.
HOW YOUR CONTRACT IS TAXED
Under current law, any increases in the value of your contributions to your
contract are tax deferred and will not be included in your taxable income until
withdrawn. See Part 7, "Tax Aspects of the Contracts."
YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS
The minimum initial contribution in most states is currently $1,000. Minimum
initial contribution for residents of Pennsylvania, South Carolina and
Washington State is $3,000. Subsequent contributions of at least $100 can be
made. Special rules for lower minimum initial and subsequent contributions apply
for certain tax-favored retirement plans. See "Contributions Under Your
Contract" in Part 5.
YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS
You may allocate contributions to the Variable Account Options or to the Fixed
Accounts, or both. The Variable Account Options and the Fixed Accounts are
together referred to as the Investment Options. Contributions may be allocated
to up to nine Investment Options. See "Contributions Under Your Contract" in
Part 5. To select Investment Options most suitable for you, see Part 3, "Your
Investment Options."
VARIABLE ACCOUNT OPTIONS
The Variable Account Options invest in shares of corresponding investment
portfolios of the Fund, a "series" type of mutual fund. Each investment
portfolio is referred to as a Portfolio. The investment
1
<PAGE>
objective of each Variable Account Option and its corresponding Portfolio is the
same. Your value in a Variable Account Option will vary depending on the
performance of the corresponding Portfolio. For a full description of the Fund,
see the Fund's prospectus and the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.
ACCOUNT VALUE, ADJUSTED ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE
The sum of your values under the Fixed Accounts plus your values in the Variable
Account Options is referred to as the Account Value. Your Adjusted Account Value
is your Account Value, as increased or decreased (but not below the Minimum
Value) by any Market Value Adjustments. Your Cash Value is equal to your
Adjusted Account Value, reduced by any applicable contingent withdrawal charge
and will be reduced by the pro rata portion of the annual administrative charge,
if applicable. See "Charges and Fees" below.
TRANSFERS
You may transfer all or portions of your Account Value among the Investment
Options, subject to the conditions described under "Transfers" in Part 5.
Transfers from any Investment Option must be for at least $250. Transfers may be
arranged through our telephone transfer service. See Part 5, "Transfers."
Transfers may also be made under special services we offer to dollar cost
average or rebalance your investment in the Variable Account Options, or to
transfer your Systematic Transfer Option contributions. See Part 8, "Dollar Cost
Averaging," "Asset Rebalancing," and "Systematic Transfer Program."
CHARGES AND FEES
If your Account Value is less than $50,000 as of the last day of any contract
year prior to your Retirement Date, an annual administrative expense charge of
$30 is deducted from your contract. See Part 4, "Deductions and Charges."
A charge at an effective annual rate of 1.35% of the Account Value in the
Variable Account Options is made daily. We make this charge to cover mortality
and expense risks (1.20%) and certain administrative expenses (.15%). The charge
will never be greater than an effective annual rate of 1.35% of the Account
Value in the Variable Account Options. See Part 4, "Deductions and Charges."
Investment management fees and other expenses are deducted from amounts invested
by the Separate Account in the Fund. For providing investment management
services to the Portfolios of the Fund, ARM Capital Advisors, Inc. (ARM Capital
Advisors), the investment manager of the Fund, receives fees from the Portfolios
ranging from an annual rate of .50% to 1.05% of the average net assets of the
Portfolio. ARM Capital Advisors has entered into a sub-advisory agreement for
each Portfolio except the Money Market Portfolio, and ARM Capital Advisors pays
fees to the sub-advisers ranging from an annual rate of .50% to .90% of average
net assets of each Portfolio. The fees paid to ARM Capital Advisors and the sub-
advisers cannot be increased without the consent of Fund shareholders. See
"Table of Annual Fees and Expenses" below and "The Fund's Investment Manager and
Sub-Advisers" in Part 3.
If you frequently transfer funds from one Investment Option to another, certain
transfers may become subject to a charge. We will not, however, charge more than
$20 per transfer. See "Transfer Charge" in Part 4.
When you make withdrawals from your contract, a contingent withdrawal charge may
be deducted from your Account Value. This sales charge will be in addition to
the Market Value Adjustment applicable to early withdrawals from GRO Accounts.
Under certain circumstances, the contingent withdrawal charge and market value
adjustment may be waived. See "Withdrawals" below and "Guaranteed Rate Options"
in Part 3.
2
<PAGE>
WITHDRAWALS
You may make an unlimited number of withdrawals from your contract as frequently
as you wish. Each withdrawal must be for at least $300. A sales charge of up to
8% of the contribution amount withdrawn, in excess of any free withdrawal amount
(defined below), will be deducted from your Account Value, unless one of the
exceptions applies. This charge defrays marketing expenses. See "Contingent
Withdrawal Charge" in Part 4. Most withdrawals made by you prior to age 59-1/2
are also subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. In addition, some tax-favored
retirement programs limit withdrawals. See Part 7, "Tax Aspects of the
Contracts." For partial withdrawals, the total amount deducted from your Account
Value will include the withdrawal amount requested, any applicable Market Value
Adjustment, and any applicable withdrawal charge, so that the net amount you
receive will be the amount requested. For residents of Pennsylvania, South
Carolina and Washington State a $3,000 minimum account balance is required to
remain in your Contract after any withdrawals.
The free withdrawal amount is a non-cumulative amount which you may take as a
partial withdrawal each contract year without being subject to the contingent
withdrawal charge or any Market Value Adjustment. It is equal to 10% of the
Account Value, minus cumulative prior withdrawals in the current contract year.
YOUR INITIAL RIGHT TO REVOKE
Within ten days after you receive your contract, you may cancel it by returning
it to our Administrative Office. The 10-day period may be extended if required
by state law. We will refund all your contributions with an adjustment for any
investment gain or loss on the contributions put into each Variable Account
Option from the date units were purchased until the date your contract is
received by us, including any charges deducted. If state law instead requires a
refund of your contributions without any adjustment, we will return that amount
to you. For allocations to any of the Guaranteed Rate Options, we will refund to
you the amount of your contributions.

(1) See "Deductions and Charges - Contingent Withdrawal Charge" in Part 4. You
may make a partial withdrawal of up to 10% of the Account Value in any contract
year less withdrawals during the current contract year, without assessment of
any withdrawal charge.
(2) After the first twelve transfers during a contract year, Integrity has the
right to impose a transfer charge of $20 per transfer. This charge would not
apply to transfers made for dollar cost averaging, asset rebalancing, or
systematic transfers. See "Deductions and Charges - Transfer Charge" in Part 4.
(3) The annual administrative charge is $30. This charge applies only if the
Account Value is less than $50,000 at the end of any contract year prior to your
Retirement Date. See "Deductions and Charges - Annual Administrative Charge" in
Part 4.
(4) See "Deductions and Charges - Separate Account Charges" in Part 4.

(5) The Fund's expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 have been
restated due to material changes in the annual expense structure. The Manager of
the Fund has agreed to reimburse each of the Portfolios for operating expenses
(excluding management fees) above an annual rate of 1.00% of average net assets
for Morgan Stanley Asian Growth Portfolio and Morgan Stanley Worldwide High
Income Portfolio, and above an annual rate of .50% of average net assets for all
other Portfolios. Without reimbursements, total annual restated expenses for the
Funds's fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 would have been 2.19% for the Morgan
Stanley Asian Growth Portfolio, 2.17% for the Morgan Stanley Worldwide High
Income Portfolio, 1.19% for the Dreman Value Portfolio, 1.88% for the Zweig
Equity (Small Cap) Portfolio, 1.92% for the Pinnacle Fixed Income Portfolio, and
1.39% for the ARM Capital Advisors Money Market Portfolio. The Manager has
reserved the right to withdraw or modify its policy of expense reimbursement for
the Portfolios, but has no current intention to do so during 1997. In the Fund's
prospectus, see "Management of the Fund."

MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE ON WHICH THESE EXAMPLES WERE BASED. The annual
rate of return assumed in the examples is not an estimate or guarantee of future
investment performance. The table also assumes an estimated $60,000 average
contract value, so that the administrative charge per $1,000 of net asset value
in the Separate Account is $0.50. Such per $1,000 charge would be higher for
smaller Account Values and lower for higher values.
The above table and examples are intended to assist your understanding of the
various costs and expenses that apply to your contract, directly or indirectly.
These tables reflect expenses of the Separate Account as well as those of the
Portfolios. Premium taxes upon annuitization also may be applicable.

PART 2 - INTEGRITY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
INTEGRITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Integrity is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of Ohio.
Our home office is in Worthington, Ohio and our principal executive office is in
Louisville, Kentucky. We are authorized to sell life insurance and annuities in
45 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to the contracts, we sell
flexible premium annuity contracts with an underlying investment medium other
than the Fund, fixed single premium annuity contracts, and flexible premium
annuity contracts offering both traditional fixed guaranteed interest rates
along with fixed equity indexed options. We are currently licensed to sell
variable contracts in 45 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to
issuing annuity products, we have entered into agreements with other insurance
companies to provide administrative and investment support for products to be
designed, underwritten and sold by these companies.
Integrity is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ARM. ARM is a financial
services company providing retail and institutional products and services to the
long-term savings and retirement market. At December 31, 1995, ARM had $5.4
billion of assets under management.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT OPTIONS
The Separate Account is established and maintained under the insurance laws of
the State of Ohio. It is a unit investment trust registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940
Act). A unit investment trust is a type of investment company. SEC registration
does not involve any supervision by the SEC of the management or investment
policies of the Separate Account. Each Variable Account Option invests in shares
of a corresponding Portfolio of the Fund. We may establish additional Options,
some of which may not be available for your allocations. The Variable Account
Options currently available to you are listed on the cover page of this
prospectus.
ASSETS OF OUR SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Under Ohio law, we own the assets of our Separate Account and use them to
support the variable portion of your contract and other variable annuity
contracts. Annuitants under other variable annuity contracts will participate in
the Separate Account in proportion to the amounts relating to their contracts.
The Separate Account's assets supporting the variable portion of these variable
contracts may not be used to satisfy liabilities arising out of any other
business of ours. Under certain unlikely circumstances, one Variable Account
Option may be liable for claims relating to the operations of another
Option.
Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the
Separate Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without
regard to our other income, gains or losses. We may permit charges owed to us to
stay in the Separate Account, and thus may participate proportionately in the
Separate Account. Amounts in the Separate Account in excess of reserves and
other liabilities belong to us, and we may transfer them to our general account
(General Account).

<PAGE>
Changes In How We Operate
We may modify how we or our Separate Account operate, subject to your approval
when required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law or regulation. You will be
notified if any changes result in a material change in the underlying
investments of a Variable Account Option. We May:
- - add Options to, or remove Options from, our Separate Account, combine two
or more Options within our Separate Account, or withdraw assets relating to
your contract from one Option and put them into another;
- - register or end the registration of the Separate Account under the 1940
Act;
- - operate our Separate Account under the direction of a committee or
discharge such a committee at any time (the committee may be composed of a
majority of persons who are "interested persons" of Integrity under the
1940 Act);
- - restrict or eliminate any voting rights of Owners or others who have voting
rights that affect our Separate Account;
- - cause one or more Options to invest in a mutual fund other than or in
addition to the Fund;
- - operate our Separate Account or one or more of the Options in any other
form the law allows, including a form that allows us to make direct
investments. We may make any legal investments we wish. In choosing these
investments, we will rely on our own or outside counsel for advice.
PART 3 - YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The Legends Fund
The Legends Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Fund), is an open-end
diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Such
registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the investments or
investment policies of the Fund. The Fund is a "series" type of investment
company with diversified portfolios. The Fund does not impose a sales charge or
"load" for buying and selling its shares. The shares of the Portfolios of the
Funds are bought and sold by the Separate Account at their respective net asset
values.
The Fund is designed to serve as an investment vehicle for variable annuity and
variable life contracts of insurance companies. Shares of the Portfolios of the
Fund currently are available to the separate accounts of Integrity and National
Integrity Life Insurance Company (National Integrity), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Integrity.
Shares of Portfolios of the Fund are made available to the Separate Account
under a Participation Agreement (Participation Agreement). The Participation
Agreement is among the Fund, ARM Securities Corporation (ARM Securities), a
wholly owned subsidiary of ARM which is the principal underwriter for Fund
shares, and Integrity. If state or federal law precludes the sale of the Fund's
or any Portfolio's shares to the Separate Account, or in certain other
circumstances, sales of shares to the Separate Account may be suspended and/or
the Participation Agreement may be terminated as to the Fund or the affected
Portfolio. Also, the Participation Agreement may be terminated by any party
thereto with one year's written notice.
Notwithstanding termination of the Participation Agreement, the Fund and ARM
Securities are obligated to continue to make the Fund's shares available for
contracts outstanding on the date the Participation Agreement terminates, unless
the Participation Agreement was terminated due to an irreconcilable conflict
among contractowners of different separate accounts. If for any reason the
shares of any Portfolio are no longer available for purchase by the Separate
Account for outstanding contracts, the parties to the Participation Agreement
have agreed to cooperate to comply with the 1940 Act in
9
<PAGE>
arranging for the substitution of another funding medium as soon as reasonably
practicable and without disruption of sales of shares to the Separate Account or
any Variable Account Option.
The Fund's Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers. ARM Capital Advisors became the
investment adviser to the Fund on February 1, 1996. ARM Capital Advisors is a
wholly owned subsidiary of ARM registered as an investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Its offices are located at 200 Park Avenue,
20th Floor, New York, New York 10166.
ARM Capital Advisors has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with a
professional manager for investment of the assets of each of the Portfolios,
except for the Money Market Portfolio. The sub-adviser for each Portfolio is
listed under "Investment Objectives of the Portfolios" below. The Portfolios pay
monthly investment management fees to ARM Capital Advisors, and ARM Capital
Advisors pays the sub-advisers for their services to the Portfolios. ARM Capital
Advisors retains a management fee at an annual rate between .15% and .20% of
Portfolio net assets (depending upon Portfolio) as compensation for providing
certain services to the Portfolios (except that ARM Capital Advisors retains the
full management fee for the ARM Capital Advisors Money Market Portfolio which it
manages directly without a sub-adviser.) The management fees paid by each
Portfolio to ARM Capital Advisors as a percentage of net assets are set forth
below:
Portfolio Management Fee

Investment Objectives of the Portfolios. Set forth below is a summary of the
investment objectives of the Portfolios of the Fund. There can be no assurance
that these objectives will be achieved. You should read the Fund's prospectus
carefully before investing.
Morgan Stanley Asian Growth Portfolio
-------------------------------------
Morgan Stanley Asian Growth Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation
through investment primarily in the common stocks of Asian issuers, excluding
Japan. The production of any current income is incidental to this objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest at least 65% of the
value of its total assets in common stocks that are traded on recognized stock
exchanges of Asian countries and in common stocks of companies organized under
the laws of an Asian country whose business is conducted principally in Asia.
The remaining portion of the Portfolio will be kept in any combination of debt
instruments, bills and bonds of governmental entities in Asia and the United
States, in notes, debentures and bonds of companies in Asia and in money market
instruments of the United States. The Portfolio does not intend to invest in
securities which are traded in markets in Japan or in companies organized under
the laws of Japan. Morgan Stanley Asset Management Inc. is the sub-adviser to
the Portfolio.
Morgan Stanley Worldwide High Income Portfolio
----------------------------------------------
Morgan Stanley Worldwide High Income Portfolio seeks high current income
consistent with relative stability of principal and, secondarily, capital
appreciation through investing primarily in a portfolio of
10
<PAGE>
high-yielding fixed-income securities of issuers located throughout the world.
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets
among any or all of three investment sectors: U.S. corporate lower-rated and
unrated debt securities, emerging country debt securities and global fixed-
income securities offering high real yields. Under normal conditions, the
Portfolio will invest between 80% and 100% of its total assets in some or all of
these three categories of higher yielding securities, some of which may entail
increased credit and market risk. The Portfolio may invest a portion of its
assets, which may be up to 100% of its total assets, in lower-rated and unrated
bonds ("junk bonds") considered to be speculative with regard to the payment of
interest and return of principal, and purchasers should carefully assess the
risks associated with an investment in this Portfolio. Additional information
concerning the investment objectives and policies of the Morgan Stanley
Worldwide High Income Portfolio can be found in the Fund's prospectus, which
should be read carefully before making any allocation to this Portfolio. Morgan
Stanley Asset Management Inc. is the sub-adviser to the Portfolio.
Renaissance Balanced Portfolio
------------------------------
Renaissance Balanced Portfolio seeks capital appreciation and income in rising
markets and the preservation of capital in declining markets. Its assets are
allocated among common stocks of issuers with large capitalizations, United
States government and high-quality corporate debt securities, and high quality
cash equivalent issues, such as commercial paper. Equity investments will
generally range from 10% to 75% of the total assets in the Portfolio, and under
normal market conditions at least 25% of total assets will be invested in senior
fixed income securities. Renaissance Investment Management is the sub-adviser to
the Portfolio.
Zweig Asset Allocation Portfolio
--------------------------------
Zweig Asset Allocation Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. It
invests primarily in Blue Chip Stocks, consistent with preservation of capital
and the reduction of portfolio exposure to market risk, as determined by the
sub-adviser to the Portfolio. Blue Chip Stocks are stocks which the sub-adviser
considers comparable to the stocks included in the S&P 500 at the time of
purchase, and that have a minimum of $400 million market capitalization, average
daily trading volume of 50,000 shares or $425 million in total assets, and which
are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange
(AMEX), over-the-counter (OTC) or on foreign exchanges. Zweig/Glaser Advisers is
the subadviser to the Portfolio.
Nicholas-Applegate Balanced Portfolio
-------------------------------------
Nicholas-Applegate Balanced Portfolio seeks maximum total return in both the
equity and fixed income portion of its investments. Under normal market
conditions, the Portfolio will have 60% to 65% of its total assets invested in
equity securities, including common stocks and securities convertible into or
exchangeable for common stocks (such as convertible preferred stocks and
convertible debentures). The remaining 35% to 40% of total assets will be
invested in United States government securities or cash equivalent issues.
Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management is the sub-adviser to the Portfolio.
Harris Bretall Sullivan & Smith Equity Growth Portfolio
-------------------------------------------------------
Harris Bretall Sullivan & Smith Equity Growth Portfolio seeks long-term capital
appreciation. It primarily invests in stocks of established companies with
proven records of superior and consistent growth. The Portfolio may invest all
or a portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents if the sub-adviser
considers the equity markets to be overvalued. The Portfolio may invest in U.S.
government securities when this appears desirable in light of the Portfolio's
investment objective or when market conditions warrant. Harris Bretall Sullivan
& Smith, Inc. is the sub-adviser to the Portfolio.
11
<PAGE>
Dreman Value Portfolio
----------------------
Dreman Value Portfolio seeks primarily long-term capital appreciation with a
secondary objective of current income. It invests principally in a diversified
portfolio of securities believed by the sub-adviser to be undervalued. The sub-
adviser's philosophy centers on identifying stocks of large, well-known
companies with solid financial strength and generous dividend yields that have
low price-earnings ratios and have been generally overlooked by the market.
Dreman Value Advisors, Inc. is the sub-adviser to the Portfolio.
Zweig Equity (Small Cap) Portfolio
----------------------------------
Zweig Equity (Small Cap) Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. It
invests primarily in Small Company Stocks, consistent with preservation of
capital and reduction of portfolio exposure to market risk, as determined by the
sub-adviser. Current income is not an objective. Small Company Stocks are the
2,500 stock positions immediately after the 500 largest stocks ranked in terms
of market capitalization and/or trading volume, and which are traded on the
NYSE, AMEX, OTC or on foreign exchanges. Zweig/Glaser Advisers is the sub-
adviser to the Portfolio.
Pinnacle Fixed Income Portfolio
-------------------------------
Pinnacle Fixed Income Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital. It invests primarily in corporate
debt securities; U.S. Government securities (including mortgage-backed
securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal
National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation);
obligations of other governmental issuers such as the Federal Farm Credit System
and the Federal Home Loan Banks; asset-backed securities; repurchase agreements
with respect to securities in which the Portfolio may invest; and instruments
used in certain hedging and related income strategies. The Portfolio may also
invest in certain private placements and in debt securities of foreign
governments and governmental entities. The Portfolio will principally invest in
securities rated at least investment grade, or, if not rated, determined by the
sub-adviser to be of comparable quality. However, the Portfolio may invest up to
15% of its total assets in securities rated below investment grade or of
equivalent quality, if not rated, including defaulted securities. J.P. Morgan
Investment Management Inc. is the sub-adviser to the Portfolio.
Arm Capital Advisors Money Market Portfolio
-------------------------------------------
ARM Capital Advisors Money Market Portfolio seeks maximum current income
consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. It invests in high grade
money market instruments, with remaining maturities of 13 months or less, and
repurchase agreements secured by such instruments, and maintains a dollar-
weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less. ARM Capital Advisors is
the adviser to the Portfolio.
Fixed Accounts
Because of applicable exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in
contracts attributable to Guaranteed Rate Options have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"), nor under the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act"). Thus, neither such contracts nor our General Account, which
guarantees the values and benefits under those contracts, are generally subject
to regulation under the provisions of the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. Accordingly,
we have been advised that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the Guaranteed
Rate Options or the General Account. Disclosures regarding the Guaranteed Rate
Options or the General Account may, however, be subject to certain generally
applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws relating to the accuracy
and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
12
<PAGE>
Guaranteed Rate Options
We offer Guaranteed Rate Options (GROs) with durations of three, five, seven and
ten years. We may from time to time change the durations available. Each
allocation to a Guaranteed Rate Option locks in a fixed effective annual
interest rate declared by us (Guaranteed Interest Rate) for the duration you
select (your GRO Account). Each contribution or transfer to a Guaranteed Rate
Option establishes a new GRO Account at the then-current Guaranteed Interest
Rate declared by us. We will not declare an interest rate less than 3%. Each GRO
Account expires at the end of the duration you have selected. See "Renewals of
GRO Accounts" below. Values and benefits under your contract attributable to
Guaranteed Rate Options are guaranteed by the reserves in our GRO separate
account as well as by our General Account.
The value of each of your GRO Accounts is referred to as a GRO Value. The GRO
Value at the expiration of the GRO Account, assuming you have not transferred or
withdrawn any amounts, will be the amount allocated plus interest at the
Guaranteed Interest Rate. We credit interest daily at an effective annual rate
equal to the Guaranteed Interest Rate. We allocate interest at the end of each
contract year and at the time of any transfer, full or partial withdrawal,
payment of a death benefit or purchase of any annuity benefit.
We may declare a higher rate of interest in the first year for any Contribution
allocated to a Guaranteed Rate Option which will exceed the Guaranteed Interest
Rate credited during the remaining years of the Guarantee Period ("Enhanced
Rate"). This Enhanced Rate will be guaranteed for the Guaranteed Period's first
year and declared at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to declare and
credit additional interest based on Contribution, Account Value, withdrawal
dates, economic conditions or on any other lawful, nondiscriminatory basis
("Additional Interest"). Any Enhanced Rate and Additional Interest credited to
your GRO Account will be separate from the Guaranteed Interest Rate and not used
in the Market Value Adjustment formula. The Enhanced Rate or Additional Interest
may not be made applicable under contracts issued in certain states.
Each group of GRO Accounts of the same duration is referred to as a Guaranteed
Rate Option, i.e. all of your three-year GRO Accounts are one Guaranteed Rate
Option while all of your five-year GRO Accounts are another Guaranteed Rate
Option.
You may obtain information about our current Guaranteed Interest Rates by
calling our Administrative Office.
Allocations to Guaranteed Rate Options may not be made under contracts issued in
certain states.
Renewals of GRO Accounts. When a GRO Account expires, a new GRO Account of the
same duration, at the then-current Guaranteed Interest Rate, will be established
unless you withdraw your GRO Value or transfer it to another Investment Option.
We will notify you in writing before the expiration of your GRO Accounts. You
must notify us prior to the expiration of your GRO Accounts of any changes you
desire to make. See "Transfers" in Part 5.
Any renewal of a GRO Account will be implemented on the expiration date of the
GRO Account. You will receive the current Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable on
the expiration date. If a GRO Account expires and it cannot be renewed for the
same duration, it will be renewed for the next shortest available duration,
unless you instruct us otherwise within 30 days prior to expiration of the GRO
Account. You may not choose, and we will not renew a GRO Account that expires
after your Retirement Date.
Market Value Adjustments. A Market Value Adjustment is an adjustment, either up
or down, in your GRO Value prior to the expiration of your GRO Account. A Market
Value Adjustment will be made for each transfer, partial withdrawal in excess of
the free withdrawal amount, surrender, or purchase
13
<PAGE>
of an annuity benefit from a GRO Account that occurs other than within 30 days
prior to the expiration of the GRO Account. There will be no Market Value
Adjustment made for a death benefit. The market adjusted value may be higher or
lower than the GRO Value. In no event, however, may the market adjusted value in
each GRO Account be less than the Minimum Value, an amount equal to your
allocation to such GRO Account plus 3% interest, compounded annually, less
previous withdrawals from such GRO Account and less any applicable contingent
withdrawal charges. The Minimum Value for partial withdrawals or transfers will
be calculated on a pro-rata basis.
The Market Value Adjustment applicable to a GRO Account prior to its expiration
reflects the relationship between the Guaranteed Interest Rate for such GRO
Account and the then-current Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to a newly
elected GRO Account of a duration equal to the time remaining in your GRO
Account. The Market Value Adjustment will reduce the GRO Value (but not below
the Minimum Value) if the current Guaranteed Interest Rate is higher than the
Guaranteed Interest Rate being credited to amounts under your GRO Account.
Conversely, the Market Value Adjustment will increase the GRO Value if the
current Guaranteed Interest Rate is lower than the Guaranteed Interest Rate
being credited to amounts under your GRO Account.
The Market Value Adjustment for a GRO Account is determined under the following
formula:
MVA = GRO Value x [(1 + A)/N/12/ / (1 + B + .0025)/N/12/ - 1], where
A is the Guaranteed Interest Rate being credited to the GRO Account subject
to the Market Value Adjustment,
B is the current Guaranteed Interest Rate, as of the effective date of the
application of the Market Value Adjustment, for current allocations to a
GRO Account, the length of which is equal to the number of whole months
remaining in your GRO Account. Subject to certain adjustments, if such
remaining period is not equal to an exact period for which we have declared
a new Guaranteed Interest Rate, B will be determined by interpolating
between the Guaranteed Interest Rates for GRO Accounts of durations closest
to (next higher and next lower) the remaining period described above.
N is the number of whole months remaining in your GRO Account.
For contracts issued in certain states, the formula above will be adjusted to
comply with applicable state requirements.
If the remaining term of your GRO Account is 30 days or less, the Market Value
Adjustment for your GRO Account shall be zero. If for any reason we are no
longer declaring current Guaranteed Interest Rates, then for purposes of
determining J we will use the yield to maturity of United States Treasury Notes
with the same remaining term as your GRO Account, interpolating when necessary,
in place of the current Guaranteed Interest Rate or Rates.
For illustrations of the application of the Market Value Adjustment formula, see
Appendix A.
SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER OPTION
We also offer a Systematic Transfer Option (STO) which guarantees an interest
rate that we declare in advance for each calendar quarter. You MUST transfer all
STO contributions into other Investment Options within one year of your most
recent STO contribution. Transfers will be made automatically in equal quarterly
or monthly installments of not less than $1,000 each. No transfers into the STO
from other Investment Options are permitted. Withdrawals from the STO are
subject to normal contingent withdrawal charges. We guarantee that the STO's
effective annual yield will never be less than 3.0%. See "Systematic Transfer
Program" in Part 8 for details on this program. This option may not be currently
available in some states.
14
<PAGE>
PART 4 - DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES
Integrity deducts from the unit value every calendar day an amount equal to an
effective annual rate of 1.35% of the Account Value in the Variable Account
Options. This daily expense rate cannot be increased without your consent.
Various portions of this total charge, as described below, pay for certain
services to the Separate Account and the contracts.
A daily charge equal to an effective annual rate of .15% of the value of each
Variable Account Option is deducted for administrative expenses not covered by
the annual administrative charge described below. The daily administrative
charge, like the annual administrative charge, is designed to reimburse
Integrity for expenses actually incurred, without profit.
A daily charge equal to an effective annual rate of 1.20% of the value of each
Variable Account Option is deducted for Integrity's assuming the expense risk
(.85%) and the mortality risk (.35%) under the contract. The expense risk is the
risk that our actual expenses of administering the contracts will exceed the
annual administrative expense charge. In this context, mortality risk refers to
the cost of insuring the risk Integrity takes that annuitants, as a class of
persons, will live longer than estimated and therefore require Integrity to pay
out more annuity benefits than anticipated. The relative proportion of the
mortality and expense risk charges may be modified, but the total effective
annual risk charge of 1.20% of the value of the Variable Account Options may not
be increased on your Contract.
Integrity may realize a gain from these daily charges to the extent they are not
needed to meet the actual expenses incurred.
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
If your Account Value is less than $50,000 on the last day of any contract year
prior to the your Retirement Date, Integrity charges an annual administrative
charge of $30. This charge is deducted from your Account Value in each
Investment Option on a pro-rata basis. The portion of the charge applicable to
the Variable Account Options will reduce the number of units credited to you.
The portion of the charge applicable to the Fixed Accounts is withdrawn in
dollars. The annual administrative charge will be pro-rated based on the number
of days that have elapsed in the contract year in the event of the Annuitant's
retirement, death, or termination of a contract during a contract year.
FUND CHARGES
Our Separate Account purchases shares of the Fund at net asset value. That price
reflects investment management fees and other direct expenses that have already
been deducted from the assets of the Fund. The amount charged for investment
management may not be increased without the prior approval of the Fund's
shareholders. See "The Legends Fund" in Part 3.
STATE PREMIUM TAX DEDUCTION
Integrity will not deduct state premium taxes from your contributions before
applying the contributions to the Investment Options, unless required to pay
such taxes under applicable state law. If the Annuitant elects an annuity
benefit, Integrity will deduct any applicable state premium taxes from the
amount otherwise available for an annuity benefit. State premium taxes, if
applicable, currently range up to 4%.
15
<PAGE>
CONTINGENT WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
No sales charges are applied when you make a contribution to the contract.
Contributions withdrawn will be subject to a withdrawal charge of up to 8%. As
shown below, the percentage charge varies, depending upon the "age" of the
contributions included in the withdrawal that is, the contract year in which
each contribution was made. The maximum percentage of 8% would apply if the
entire amount of the withdrawal consisted of contributions made during your
current contract year. No withdrawal charge applies when you withdraw
contributions made earlier than your sixth prior contract year. For purposes of
calculating the withdrawal charge, (1) the oldest contributions will be treated
as the first withdrawn and more recent contributions next, and (2) partial
withdrawals up to the free withdrawal amount will not be considered a withdrawal
of any contributions. For partial withdrawals, the total amount deducted from
your Account Value will include the withdrawal amount requested, any applicable
Market Value Adjustment, and any applicable withdrawal charge, so that the net
amount you receive will be the amount requested.
During any contract year, no charge will be applied to your partial withdrawals
that do not exceed the free withdrawal amount. On any Business Day, the free
withdrawal amount is 10% of your Account Value less withdrawals during the
current contract year. If any partial withdrawal exceeds the free withdrawal
amount, we will deduct the applicable contingent withdrawal charge with respect
to such excess amount. The contingent withdrawal charge is a sales charge to
defray our costs of selling and promoting the contracts. We do not expect that
revenues from contingent withdrawal charges will cover all of such costs. Any
shortfall will be made up from our General Account assets, including any profits
from other charges under the contracts.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
No contingent withdrawal charge will be applied to any amount withdrawn if the
Annuitant uses the withdrawal either to purchase from Integrity an immediate
annuity benefit with life contingencies or an immediate annuity without life
contingencies which provides for level payments over five or more years, with a
restricted prepayment option. Similarly, no charge will be applied if the
Annuitant dies and the withdrawal is made by the Annuitant's beneficiary. See
"Death Benefits and Similar Benefit Distributions" in Part 5.
Unless specifically instructed otherwise, Integrity will make withdrawals
(including any applicable charges) from the Investment Options in the same ratio
the Annuitant's Account Value in each Investment Option bears to the Annuitant's
total Account Value. The minimum withdrawal permitted is $300. For residents of
Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Washington State a $3,000 minimum account
balance is required to remain in your Contract after any withdrawals.
TRANSFER CHARGE
No charge is made for your first twelve transfers (excluding dollar cost
averaging and asset rebalancing transfers, and systematic transfers from the
STO) among the Variable Account Options or the Guaranteed Rate Options during a
contract year. We are, however, permitted to charge up to
16
<PAGE>
$20 for each additional transfer during that contract year. See "Transfers" in
Part 5. Transfers from a Guaranteed Rate Option may be subject to a Market Value
Adjustment. See "Guaranteed Rate Options" in Part 3.
HARDSHIP WAIVER
Withdrawal Charges may also be waived on full or partial withdrawal requests of
$1,000 or more under a Hardship circumstance. The Market Value Adjustment may
also be waived on any amounts withdrawn from the GRO Accounts. Such Hardship
circumstances include the Owner's (1) confinement to a nursing home, hospital
and long term care facility, (2) diagnosis of terminal illness with any medical
condition which would result in death or total disability, and (3) unemployment.
We reserve the right to obtain reasonable notice and documentation including,
but not limited to, a physician's certification and Determination Letter from a
State Department of Labor. Some of the hardship circumstances listed above may
not be applicable in some states, and, in other states, may not be available at
all.

We have the right to make a charge in the future for taxes or for reserves set
aside for taxes, which will reduce the investment experience of the Variable
Account Options.
PART 5--TERMS OF YOUR VARIABLE ANNUITY
CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER YOUR CONTRACT
You can make contributions of at least $100 at any time up to the Annuitant's
Retirement Date. Your first contribution, however, cannot be less than $1,000.
Minimum initial contribution for residents of Pennsylvania, South Carolina and
Washington State is $3,000 after any withdrawals. We will accept contributions
of at least $50 for salary allotment programs. We have special rules for minimum
contribution amounts for tax-favored retirement programs. See "Special Rules for
Tax-Favored Retirement Programs" in Part 7.
We may limit the total contributions under one contract to $1,000,000 if you are
under age 76 or to $250,000 if you are 76 to 90 years of age. Once you reach
eight years before your Retirement Date, we may refuse to accept any
contribution made for you. Contributions may also be limited by various laws or
prohibited by Integrity for all Annuitants under the contract. If your
contributions are made under a tax-favored retirement program, we will not
measure them against the maximum limits set by law.
Contributions are applied to the various Investment Options selected by you and
are used to pay annuity and death benefits.
Each contribution is credited as of the date we have received (as defined below)
at our Administrative Office both the contribution and instructions for
allocation among the Investment Options. At any time you may have amounts in not
more than nine Investment Options. For purposes of calculating the nine
Investment Options, each of your GRO Accounts counts as one Investment Option.
Wire transfers of federal funds are deemed received on the day of transmittal if
credited to our account by 3 p.m. Eastern Time, otherwise they are deemed
received on the next Business Day. Contributions by check or mail are deemed
received not later than the second Business Day after they are delivered to our
Administrative Office. A Business Day is any day other than a weekend or a
national bank holiday.
17
<PAGE>
You can change your choice of Investment Options at any time by writing to the
Administrative Office. The request should indicate your contract number and the
specific change, and you should sign the request. When it is received by the
Administrative Office, the change will be effective for any contribution which
accompanies it and for all future contributions.
YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE
Your Account Value reflects various charges. See Part 4, "Deductions and
Charges." Annual deductions are made as of the last day of each contract year.
Withdrawal charges and Market Value Adjustments, if applicable, are made as of
the effective date of the transaction. Charges against our Separate Account are
reflected daily. Any amount allocated to a Variable Account Option will go up or
down in value depending on the investment experience of that Option. For
contributions allocated to the Variable Account Options, there are no guaranteed
values. The value of your contributions allocated to the Fixed Accounts is
guaranteed, subject to any applicable Market Value Adjustments. See "Guaranteed
Rate Options" in Part 3.
YOUR PURCHASE OF UNITS IN OUR SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Allocations to the Variable Account Options are used to purchase units. On any
given day, the value you have in a Variable Account Option is the unit value
multiplied by the number of units credited to you in that Option. The units of
each Variable Account Option have different unit values.
The number of units purchased or redeemed (sold) in any Variable Account Option
is calculated by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Option's
unit value, calculated after the close of business that day. The number of units
for a Variable Account Option at any time is the number of units purchased less
the number of units redeemed. The value of units fluctuates with the investment
performance of the corresponding Portfolios of the Fund which in turn reflects
the investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of
the Portfolios, as well as the Fund's expenses. The unit values also change
because of deductions and charges we make to our Separate Account. The number of
units credited to you, however, will not vary because of changes in unit values.
Units of a Variable Account Option are purchased when you allocate new
contributions or transfer prior contributions to that Option. Units are redeemed
when you make withdrawals or transfer amounts from a Variable Account Option. We
also redeem units to pay the death benefit when the Annuitant dies and to pay
the annual administrative charge.
HOW WE DETERMINE UNIT VALUE
We determine unit values for each Variable Account Option at the end of each day
we are open for business and changes in the value of Fund shares have a material
effect on unit values. We are closed on national business holidays and also on
Luther King, Jr. Day and the Friday after Thanksgiving. The end of a day for
purposes of determining unit values is 4 pm Eastern Time.
The unit value of each Variable Account Option for any day on which we determine
unit values is equal to the unit value for the last day on which a unit value
was determined multiplied by the net investment factor for that Option on the
current day. We determine a net investment factor for each Option as follows:
- - First, we take the value of the shares belonging to the Option in the
corresponding Portfolio at the close of business that day (before giving
effect to any transactions for that day, such as contributions or
withdrawals). For this purpose, we use the share value reported to us by
the Fund.
- - Next, we add any dividends or capital gains distributions by the Fund on
that day.
18
<PAGE>
- - Then, we divide this amount by the value of the amounts in the Option at the
close of business on the last day on which a unit value was determined
(after giving effect to any transactions on that day).
- - Then, we subtract a daily asset charge for each calendar day since the last
day on which a unit value was determined (for example, a Monday calculation
will include charges for Saturday and Sunday). The daily charge is
.00003721, which is an effective annual rate of 1.35%. This charge is for
the mortality risk, administrative expenses and expense risk assumed by us
under the contract.
- - Finally, we subtract any daily charge for taxes or amounts set aside as a
reserve for taxes.
Generally, this means that we adjust unit values to reflect what happens to the
Fund, and also for the mortality and expense risk charge and any charge for
administrative expenses or taxes.
TRANSFERS
You may transfer your Account Value among the Variable Account Options and the
Guaranteed Rate Options, subject to Integrity's then current transfer
restrictions. You may not make a transfer into the STO. Transfers to a
Guaranteed Rate Option must be to a newly elected Guaranteed Rate Option (i.e.
to a Guaranteed Rate Option that you have not elected before) at the then-
current Guaranteed Interest Rate, unless Integrity otherwise consents. Transfers
from a Guaranteed Rate Option other than within 30 days prior to the expiration
date of a GRO Account are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. See "Guaranteed
Rate Options" in Part 3. For amounts in Guaranteed Rate Options, transfers will
be made according to the order in which monies were originally allocated to any
Guaranteed Rate Option.
The amount transferred must be at least $250 or, if less, the entire amount in
the Investment Option. After twelve transfers have been made by you during a
contract year, a charge of up to $20 may apply to each additional transfer
during that contract year, except that no charge will be made for transfers
under our dollar cost averaging or asset rebalancing or systematic transfer
programs, described in Part 8. Once annuity payments begin, transfers are no
longer permitted.
Written transfer requests must be sent directly to the Administrative Office.
Each Annuitant's request for a transfer must specify the contract number, the
amounts to be transferred and the Investment Options to and from which the
amounts are to be transferred. Transfers may also be arranged through our
telephone transfer service provided you have established a Personal
Identification Number (PIN Code). We will honor telephone transfer instructions
from any person who provides correct identifying information, and we are not
responsible in the event of a fraudulent telephone transfer which is believed to
be genuine in accordance with these procedures. Accordingly, you bear the risk
of loss if unauthorized persons make transfers on your behalf.
A transfer request will be effective as of the Business Day it is received by
our Administrative Office. A transfer request does not change the allocation of
current or future contributions among the Investment Options. Telephone
transfers may be requested from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on any day we
are open for business. You will receive the Variable Account Options' unit
values as of the close of business on the day you call. Accordingly, transfer
requests received after 4:00 pm Eastern Time will be processed using unit values
as of the close of business on the next Business Day after the day you call. All
transfers will be confirmed in writing.
19
<PAGE>
WITHDRAWALS
You may make an unlimited number of withdrawals from your contract as frequently
as you wish. Each withdrawal must be for at least $300. For residents of
Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Washington State a $3,000 minimum account
balance is required to remain in your Contract after any withdrawals. A
withdrawal charge of up to 8% of the contribution amount withdrawn, as adjusted
for any applicable Market Value Adjustment and the withdrawal charge itself will
be deducted from your Account Value, unless one of the exceptions applies. See
"Guaranteed Rate Options" in Part 3 and "Contingent Withdrawal Charge" in Part
4. Most withdrawals made by you prior to age 59-1/2 are also subject to a 10%
federal tax penalty. In addition, some tax-favored retirement programs limit
withdrawals. See Part 7, "Tax Aspects of the Contracts" for further information
regarding various tax consequences associated with the contracts.
ASSIGNMENTS
You may not assign the contract as collateral or security for a loan, but an
Owner whose contract is not related to a tax-favored program may otherwise
assign the contract before the Annuitant's Retirement Date. An assignment of the
contract as a gift may, however, have adverse tax consequences. See Part 7, "Tax
Aspects of the Contracts." Integrity will not be bound by an assignment unless
it is in writing and we have received it at the Administrative Office.
DEATH BENEFITS AND SIMILAR BENEFIT DISTRIBUTIONS
A death benefit is available to a beneficiary if the Annuitant dies prior to the
Retirement Date.
If the Annuitant is under the age of 80 at the time of death, the amount of the
death benefit is the greatest of:
-your Account Value
-the highest Account Value at the beginning of any contract year, plus
subsequent contributions and minus subsequent withdrawals
-your total contributions less the sum of withdrawals
"Subsequent withdrawals" for purposes of calculation of a death benefit reflect
any market value adjustments applicable to such withdrawals.
If the Annuitant is 80 or older at the time of death, the amount of the death
benefit will be your Account Value.
The death benefit amount is determined as of the date proof of death and
instructions for payment of proceeds are received by the Administrative Office.
Death benefits (and benefit distributions required because of a separate Owner's
death) can be paid in a lump sum or as an annuity. If no benefit option is
selected for the beneficiary at the Annuitant's death, the beneficiary can
select an option.
The beneficiary of the death benefit under a contract is selected by the Owner.
An Owner may change beneficiaries by submitting the appropriate form to the
Administrative Office. If no Annuitant's beneficiary survives the Annuitant,
then the death benefit is generally paid to the Annuitant's estate. No death
benefit will be paid after the Annuitant's death if there is a contingent
Annuitant. In that case, the contingent Annuitant becomes the new Annuitant
under the contract.
Generally, the Owner also may select his or her own beneficiary. If the Owner
dies before the Annuitant's Retirement Date, an Owner's beneficiary will become
the Owner of the contract and may be required to receive benefit distributions.
20
<PAGE>
ANNUITY BENEFITS
All annuity benefits under your contract are calculated as of the Retirement
Date selected by you. The Retirement Date can be changed by written notice to
the Administrative Office any time prior to the Retirement Date. The Retirement
Date may be no later than your 98th birthday or earlier, if required by law. The
terms of the contracts applicable to the various retirement programs, along with
the federal tax laws, establish certain minimum and maximum retirement ages.
Annuity benefits may take the form of a lump sum payment or an annuity. A lump
sum payment will provide the Annuitant with the Cash Value under the contract,
shortly after the Retirement Date. The amount applied for the purchase of an
annuity benefit will be the Adjusted Account Value, except that the Cash Value
will be the amount applied if the annuity benefit does not have a life
contingency and either the term is less than five years or the annuity can be
commuted to a lump sum payment without a withdrawal charge applying.
ANNUITIES
Alternate forms of annuity benefits can provide for fixed or variable payments
which may be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Variable
payments will be funded through one or more Separate Account Divisions. For any
annuity, the minimum amount applied to the annuity must be $2,000 and the
minimum initial payment must be at least $20.
If you have not already selected a form of annuity, we will send you, within six
months prior to your Retirement Date, an appropriate notice form on which you
may indicate the type of annuity you desire or confirm to us that the normal
form of annuity, as defined below, is to be provided. However, if we do not
receive a completed form from you on or before your Retirement Date, we will
deem the Retirement Date to have been extended until we receive your written
instructions at our Administrative Office. During such extension, the values
under your contract in the various Investment Options will remain invested in
such options and amounts remaining in Variable Account Options will continue to
be subject to the investment risks associated with those Options. However, your
Retirement Date cannot be extended beyond your 98th birthday or earlier, if
by law. You will receive a lump sum benefit if you do not make an
election by such date.
We currently offer the following types of annuities:
A period certain annuity provides for fixed payments to the Annuitant or the
Annuitant's beneficiary (the payee) for a fixed period. The amount is determined
by the period selected. The Annuitant, or if the payee dies before the end of
the period selected, the payee's beneficiary, may elect to receive the total
present value of future payments in cash.
A period certain life annuity provides for fixed or variable payments, or both,
for at least the period selected and thereafter for the life of the payee or the
payee and another annuitant under a joint and survivor annuity. You may not
change or redeem the annuity once payments have begun. If the payee (or the
payee and the other annuitant under a joint and survivor annuity) dies before
the period selected ends, the remaining payments will go to another named payee
who may have the right to redeem the annuity and secure the present value of
future guaranteed payments in a lump sum. The NORMAL FORM OF ANNUITY is a fixed
life income annuity with 10 years of payments guaranteed, funded through our
General Account.
A life income annuity provides fixed payments for the life of the payee or the
payee and another annuitant under a joint and survivor annuity. Once a life
income annuity is selected, the form of annuity cannot be changed or redeemed
for a lump sum payment by the Annuitant or any payee.
21
<PAGE>
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Fixed annuity payments will not change and are based upon annuity rates provided
in your contract. The size of payments will depend on the form of annuity that
was chosen and, in the case of a life income annuity, on the payee's age (or
payee and a joint annuitant in the case of a joint and survivor annuity) and sex
(except under most tax-favored retirement programs). If Integrity's current
annuity rates then in effect would yield a larger payment, those current rates
will apply instead of the tables.
Variable annuity payments are funded only in the Separate Account Divisions
through the purchase of annuity units. The Variable Account Option or Options
selected cannot be changed after annuity payments begin. The SAI provides
further information concerning the determination of annuity payments. The
number of units purchased is equal to the amount of the first annuity payment
divided by the new annuity unit value for the valuation period which includes
the due date of the first annuity payment. The amount of the first annuity
payment is determined in the same manner for a variable annuity as it is for a
fixed annuity. The number of annuity units stays the same for the annuity
payment period but the new annuity unit value changes to reflect the investment
income and the realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Variable
Account Option or Options selected, after charges made against it. Annuity unit
values assume a base rate of net investment return of 5%, except in states which
require a lower rate in which case 3.5% will be used. The annuity unit value
will rise or fall depending on whether the actual rate of net investment return
is higher or lower than the assumed base rate. In the SAI, see "Determination of
Annuity Unit Values."
If the age or sex of an annuitant has been misstated, any benefits will be those
which would have been purchased at the correct age and sex. Any overpayments or
underpayments made by us will be charged or credited with interest at the rate
of 6% per year. If we have made overpayments because of incorrect information
about age or sex, we will deduct the overpayment from the next payment or
payments due. We add underpayments to the next payment.
TIMING OF PAYMENT
We normally make payments from the Variable Account Options, or apply your
Adjusted Account Value to the purchase of an annuity within seven days after
receipt of the required form at our Administrative Office. Our action can be
deferred, however, for any period during which (1) the New York Stock Exchange
has been closed or trading on it is restricted; (2) sales of securities or
determination of the fair value of Separate Account assets is not reasonably
practicable because of an emergency; or (3) the SEC, by order, permits Integrity
to defer action in order to protect persons with interests in the Separate
Account. Integrity can defer payment of your Fixed Accounts for up to six
months, and interest will be paid on any such payment delayed for 30 days or
more.
HOW YOU MAKE REQUESTS AND GIVE INSTRUCTIONS
When you communicate in writing with our Administrative Office, use the address
on the first page of this prospectus. Your request or instruction cannot be
honored unless it is in proper and complete form. Whenever possible, use one of
our printed forms, which may be obtained from our Administrative Office.

<PAGE>
PART 6 - VOTING RIGHTS
FUND VOTING RIGHTS
Integrity is the legal owner of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate
Account and, as such, has the right to vote on certain matters. Among other
things, we may vote to elect the Fund's Board of Directors, to ratify the
selection of independent auditors for the Fund, and on any other matters
described in the Fund's current prospectus or requiring a vote by shareholders
under the 1940 Act.
Whenever a shareholder vote is taken, we give you the opportunity to tell us how
to vote the number of shares purchased as a result of contributions to your
contract. We will send you Fund proxy materials and a form for giving us voting
instructions.
If we do not receive instructions in time from all Owners, we will vote shares
in a Portfolio for which no instructions have been received in the same
proportion as we vote shares for which we have received instructions. Under
eligible deferred compensation plans and certain Qualified Plans, your voting
instructions must be communicated to us indirectly, through your employer, but
we are not responsible for any failure by your employer to solicit your
instructions or to communicate your instructions to us. We will vote any Fund
shares that we are entitled to vote directly, because of amounts we have
accumulated in our Separate Account, in the same proportions that other Owners
vote. If the federal securities laws or regulations or interpretations of them
change so that we are permitted to vote shares of the Fund in our own right or
to restrict Owner voting, we may do so.
HOW WE DETERMINE YOUR VOTING SHARES
You may participate in voting only on matters concerning the Portfolios in which
your contributions have been invested. We determine the number of Fund shares in
each Variable Account Option that are attributable to your contract by dividing
the amount of your Account Value allocated to that Option by the net asset value
of one share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record date set by the
Fund's Board for the Fund's shareholders' meeting. The record date for this
purpose must be no more than 60 days before the meeting of the Fund. We count
fractional shares. After annuity payments have commenced, voting rights are
calculated in a similar manner based on the actuarially determined value of your
interest in each Variable Account Option.
HOW FUND SHARES ARE VOTED
All Fund shares are entitled to one vote; fractional shares have fractional
votes. Voting is on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis, except for certain matters
(for example, election of Directors) which require collective approval. On
matters on which the interests of the individual Portfolios differ, the approval
of the shareholders in one Portfolio is not needed in order to make a decision
in another Portfolio. To the extent shares of the Fund are sold to separate
accounts of other insurance companies, the shares voted by such companies in
accordance with instructions received from their contract holders will dilute
the effect of voting instructions received by Integrity from its Owners.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VOTING RIGHTS
Under the 1940 Act, certain actions (such as some of those described under
"Changes in How We Operate" in Part 2) may require Owner approval. In that case,
you will be entitled to a number of votes based on the value you have in the
Variable Account Options, as described above under "How We Determine Your Voting
Shares." We will cast votes attributable to amounts we have in the Variable
Account Options in the same proportions as votes cast by Owners.

PART 7 - TAX ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS
INTRODUCTION
The effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a contract, on
annuity payments, and on the economic benefits to the Owner, Annuitant, and the
beneficiary or other payee may depend on Integrity's tax status, on the type of
retirement plan, if any, for which the contract is purchased, and upon the tax
and employment status of the individuals concerned.
The following discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the contract is
not exhaustive, does not purport to cover all situations and is not intended to
be tax advice. It is based upon understanding of the present federal income tax
laws as currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). No
representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of the present
federal income tax laws or of the current interpretations by the IRS or the
courts. Future legislation may affect annuity contracts adversely. Moreover, no
attempt has been made to consider any applicable state or other laws. Because of
the inherent complexity of such laws and the fact that tax results will vary
according to the particular circumstances of the individual involved and, if
applicable, the qualified plan, any person contemplating the purchase of a
contract, contemplating selection of annuity payments under the contract, or
receiving annuity payments under a contract should consult a qualified tax
adviser. INTEGRITY DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS,
FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL, OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE
CONTRACTS.
YOUR CONTRACT IS AN ANNUITY
Under the federal tax law, any individual can purchase an annuity with after-tax
dollars and exclude any annuity earnings in taxable income until an actual
distribution is taken from the annuity. Alternatively, the individual (or
employer) may purchase the annuity to fund a tax-favored retirement program
(contributions are with pre-tax dollars), such as an IRA or qualified plan.
This prospectus covers the basic tax rules that apply to an annuity purchased
directly with after-tax dollars, (nonqualified annuity), and some of the special
tax rules which apply to an annuity purchased to fund a tax-favored retirement
program, (qualified annuity). A qualified annuity may restrict your rights and
benefits in order to qualify for its special treatment under the federal tax
law.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES GENERALLY
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), governs
the taxation of annuities. In general, an Owner is not taxed on increases in
value under a contract until some form of withdrawal or distribution is made
under the contract. However, under certain circumstances, the increase in value
may be subject to current federal income tax. For example, corporations,
partnerships, trusts and other non-natural persons cannot defer the taxation of
current income credited to the contract unless an exception applies. In
addition, if an Owner transfers an annuity as a gift to someone other than a
spouse (or divorced spouse), any increase in its value will be taxed at the time
of transfer. The assignment or pledge of any portion of the value of a contract
will be treated as a distribution of that portion of the value of the
contract.
Section 72 provides that the proceeds of a full or partial withdrawal from a
contract prior to the date on which annuity payments begin are treated first as
taxable income to the extent that the Account Value exceeds the "investment" or
"basis" in the contract and then as non-taxable recovery of the investment or
basis in the contract. Generally, the investment or basis in the contract
equals the contributions made by or on your behalf, less any amounts previously
withdrawn which were not treated as taxable income. Special rules may apply if
the contract includes contributions made prior to August 14, 1982 which were
rolled over to the contract in a tax-free exchange.
24
<PAGE>
Once annuity payments begin, the Annuitant recovers a portion of the investment
tax-free from each payment. The non-taxable portion of each payment is based on
the ratio of the Annuitant's investment to his or her expected return under the
contract (exclusion Ratio). The remainder of each payment will be ordinary
income.
After you have recovered your total investment, future payments are fully
included in income. If the Annuitant dies prior to recovering the total
investment, a deduction for the remaining basis will generally be allowed on the
Annuitant's final federal income tax return.
Withholding of federal income taxes on all distributions may be required unless
the recipient who is eligible elects not to have any amounts withheld and
properly notifies Integrity of that election.
The taxable portion of a distribution is treated as ordinary income and is taxed
at ordinary income tax rates. In addition, a tax penalty of 10% applies to the
taxable portion of a distribution unless the distribution is: (1) on or after
the date on which the taxpayer attains age 59-1/2; (2) as a result of the death
of the Owner; (3) attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled within the
meaning of Code Section 72(m)(7); (4) from certain qualified plans (note,
however, other penalties may apply); (5) under a qualified funding asset (as
defined in Section 130(d) of the Code); (6) purchased by an employer on
termination of certain types of qualified plans and held by the employer until
the employee separates from service; or (7) under an immediate annuity as
defined in Code Section 72(u)(4).
All annuity contracts issued by Integrity or its affiliates to one Annuitant
during any calendar year are treated as a single contract in measuring the
taxable income that results from surrenders and withdrawals under any one of the
contracts.
DISTRIBUTION-AT-DEATH RULES
Under section 72(s) of the Code, in order to be treated as an annuity, a
contract must provide the following distribution rules: (a) if any Owner dies
on or after the Retirement Date and before the entire interest in the contract
has been distributed, then the remaining portion of such interest must be
distributed at least as quickly as the method in effect on the date of the
Owner's death; and (b) if any Owner dies before the Retirement Date, the entire
interest in the contract must be distributed within five years after the date of
the Owner's death. To the extent such interest is payable to a beneficiary,
however, such interest may be annuitized over the life of that beneficiary or
over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, so
long as distributions commence within one year after the Owner's death. If the
beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, the contract (along with the deferred
tax status) may be continued in the name of the spouse as the Owner.
If the Owner is not an individual, the "primary annuitant," as defined in the
Code, is considered the Owner. The primary annuitant is the individual who is of
primary importance in affecting the timing of the amount of payout under a
contract. In addition, when the Owner is not an individual, a change in the
primary annuitant is treated as the death of the Owner. Finally, in the case of
joint owners, the distribution-at-death rules will be applied at the death of
the first Owner.
DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS
Each Portfolio of the Fund will be required to adhere to regulations adopted by
the Treasury Department pursuant to Section 817(h) of the Code prescribing asset
diversification requirements for investment companies whose shares are sold to
insurance company separate accounts funding variable contracts. The investment
manager for the Funds monitors the investments in order to comply with the
regulations to assure that the contracts continue to be treated as annuities for
federal income tax purposes.
25
<PAGE>
The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be
considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses
incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise
investment control over the assets. In those circumstances, income and gains
from the separate account assets would be includable in the variable contract
owner's gross income. The Treasury Department also announced, in connection
with the issuance of regulations concerning diversification, that those
regulations "do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which
investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the
investor (i.e., the Owner), rather than the insurance company, to be treated as
the owner of the assets in the account." This announcement also stated that
guidance would be issued by way of regulations or rulings on the "extent to
which policyholders may direct their investments to particular subaccounts
without being treated as owners of the underlying assets." As of the date of
this prospectus, no such guidance has been issued.
TAX FAVORED RETIREMENT PROGRAMS
The contract is designed for use in connection with certain types of retirement
plans which receive favorable treatment under the Code. Numerous special tax
rules apply to the participants in such qualified plans and to the contracts
used in connection with such qualified plans. These tax rules vary according to
the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Owners,
Annuitants, and beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any
benefits under qualified plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the
plans themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contract. In
addition, loans from qualified contracts, where allowed, are subject to a
variety of limitations, including restrictions as to the amount that may be
borrowed, the duration of the loan, and the manner in which the loans must be
repaid. (Owners should always consult their tax advisors and retirement plan
fiduciaries prior to exercising their loan privileges.) Also, special rules
apply to the time at which distributions must commence and the form in which the
distributions must be paid. THEREFORE, NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO PROVIDE MORE THAN
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE USE OF CONTRACTS WITH THE VARIOUS TYPES OF
QUALIFIED PLANS.
Integrity reserves the right to change its administrative rules, such as minimum
contribution amounts, as needed to comply with the Code as to tax-favored
retirement programs.
Following are brief descriptions of various types of qualified plans in
connection with which Integrity may issue a contract.
Individual Retirement Annuities
- -------------------------------
Code Section 408 permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual
retirement program known as an IRA. An individual who receives compensation and
who has not reached age 70-1/2 by the end of the tax year may establish an IRA
and make contributions up to the deadline for filing his or her federal income
tax return for that year (without extensions). IRAs are subject to limitations
on the amount that may be contributed, the persons who may be eligible, and on
the time when distributions may commence. An individual may also rollover
amounts distributed from another IRA or another tax-favored retirement program
to an IRA contract. Your IRA contract will be issued with a rider outlining the
special terms of your contract which apply to IRAs.
Tax Sheltered Annuities
- -----------------------
Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of tax-sheltered annuities (TSA)
by public schools and certain charitable, educational and scientific
organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. The contract is not
intended to accept other than employee contributions. Such contributions are not
includible in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives
distributions from the contract. The amount of contributions to the TSA is
limited to certain maximums imposed by Code sections 403(b), 415 and 402(g).
Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions
26
<PAGE>
governing such items as transferability, distributions and withdrawals. Any
employee should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and
suitability of such an investment. Your contract will be issued with a rider
outlining the special terms which apply to a TSA.
Simplified Employee Pensions
- ----------------------------
Section 408(k) of the Code allows employers to establish simplified employee
pension plans (SEP-IRAs) for their employees, using the employees' IRAs for such
purposes, if certain criteria are met. Under these plans the employer may,
within specified limits, make deductible contributions on behalf of the
employees to IRAs. Employers intending to use the contract in connection with
such plans should seek competent advice. The SEP-IRA will be issued with a rider
outlining the special terms of the contract.
Corporate and Self-Employed (H.R. 10 and Keogh) Pension and Profit Sharing Plans
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit corporate employers to establish
various types of tax-favored retirement plans for employees. The Self-Employed
Individuals' Tax Retirement Act of 1962, as amended, commonly referred to as
"H.R. 10" or "Keogh," permits self-employed individuals also to establish such
tax-favored retirement plans for themselves and their employees. Such
retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contract in order to provide
benefits under the plans. Employers intending to use the contract in connection
with such plans should seek competent advice. The Company reserves the right to
request documentation to substantiate that a qualified plan exists and is being
properly administered. Integrity does not administer such plans.
Deferred Compensation Plans of State and Local Governments and Tax-Exempt
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organizations
- -------------
Section 457 of the Code permits employees of state and local governments and
tax-exempt organizations to defer a portion of their compensation without paying
current taxes. The employees must be participants in an eligible deferred
compensation plan. To the extent the contracts are used in connection with an
eligible plan, employees are considered general creditors of the employer and
the employer as Owner of the contract has the sole right to the proceeds of the
contract. Loans to employees are not permitted under such plans. Contributions
to a contract in connection with an eligible government plan are subject to
limitations. Those who intend to use the contracts in connection with such plans
should seek competent advice. The Company reserves the right to request
documentation to substantiate that a qualified plan exists and is being properly
administered. Integrity does not administer such plans.
DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER TAX FAVORED RETIREMENT PROGRAMS
Distributions from tax favored plans are subject to certain restrictions.
Distributions of minimum amounts specified by the Code must commence by April 1
of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the participant
reaches age 70 1/2. Additional distribution rules apply after the participant's
death. Failure to make mandatory distributions may result in the imposition of a
50% penalty tax on any difference between the required distribution amount and
the amount distributed. Distributions to a participant from all plans (other
than 457 plans) in a calendar year that exceed a specific limit under the Code
are generally subject to a 15% penalty tax (in addition to any ordinary income
tax) on the excess portion of the distributions.
Distributions from a tax favored plan (not including an IRA subject to Code
Section 408) to an employee, surviving spouse, or former spouse who is an
alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, in the form of a
lump sum settlement or periodic annuity payments for a fixed period of fewer
than 10 years are subject to mandatory income tax withholding of 20% of the
taxable amount of the distribution, unless (1) the distributee directs the
transfer of such amounts in cash to another plan or an IRA; or (2) the payment
is a minimum distribution required under the Code. The
27
<PAGE>
taxable amount is the amount of the distribution less the amount allocable to
after-tax contributions. All other types of taxable distributions are subject to
withholding unless the distributee elects not to have withholding apply.
We are not permitted to make distributions from a contract unless a request has
been made. It is therefore your responsibility to comply with the minimum
distribution rules. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these rules
and their proper application.
The above description of the federal income tax consequences of the different
types of tax favored retirement plans which may be funded by the contract is
only a brief summary and is not intended as tax advice. The rules governing the
provisions of plans are extremely complex and often difficult to comprehend.
Anything less than full compliance with all applicable rules, all of which are
subject to change, may have adverse tax consequences. A prospective Owner
considering adoption of a plan and purchase of a contract in connection
therewith should first consult a qualified and competent tax adviser, with
regard to the suitability of the contract as an investment vehicle for the plan.
FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Integrity will withhold and remit to the U.S. government a part of the taxable
portion of each distribution made under a contract unless the distributee
notifies Integrity at or before the time of the distribution of an election not
to have any amounts withheld. In certain circumstances, Integrity may be
required to withhold tax, as explained above. The withholding rates applicable
to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments (other than eligible
rollover distributions) are the same as the withholding rates generally
applicable to payments of wages. In addition, the withholding rate applicable to
the taxable portion of non-periodic payments (including withdrawals prior to the
maturity date) is 10%. As discussed above, the withholding rate applicable to
eligible rollover distributions is 20%.
Certain states have indicated that pension and annuity withholding will apply to
payments made to residents. Generally, an election out of federal withholding
will also be considered an election out of state withholding. For more
information concerning a particular state, call our Administrative Office at the
toll-free number.
IMPACT OF TAXES TO INTEGRITY
The contracts provide that Integrity may charge the Separate Account for taxes.
Integrity can also set up reserves for taxes.
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS
There will not be any tax liability if you transfer any part of the Account
Value among the Investment Options of your contract.
PART 8 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS
We offer a program for systematic withdrawals that allows you to pre-authorize
periodic withdrawals from your contract prior to your Retirement Date. You may
choose to have withdrawals made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually
and may specify the day of the month (other than the 29th, 30th or 31st) on
which the withdrawal is to be made. You may specify a dollar amount for each
withdrawal or an annual percentage to be withdrawn. The minimum systematic
withdrawal currently is $100. For residents of Pennsylvania, South Carolina and
Washington State a $3,000 minimum
28
<PAGE>
account balance is required to remain in your Contract after any withdrawals.
You may also specify an account for direct deposit of your systematic
withdrawals. To enroll under our systematic withdrawal program, you must deliver
the appropriate administrative form to our Administrative Office. Withdrawals
may begin not less than one business day after our receipt of the form. You or
we may terminate your participation in the program upon one day's prior written
notice, and we may terminate or amend the systematic withdrawal program at any
time. If on any withdrawal date you do not have sufficient values to make all of
the withdrawals you have specified, no withdrawals will be made and your
enrollment in the program will be ended.
Amounts withdrawn by you under the systematic withdrawal program may be within
the free withdrawal amount in which case neither a contingent withdrawal charge
nor a Market Value Adjustment will be made. See "Contingent Withdrawal Charge"
in Part 4. AMOUNTS WITHDRAWN UNDER THE SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM IN EXCESS
OF THE FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT WILL BE SUBJECT TO A CONTINGENT WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
AND A MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT IF APPLICABLE. WITHDRAWALS ALSO MAY BE SUBJECT TO
THE 10% FEDERAL TAX PENALTY FOR EARLY WITHDRAWALS UNDER THE CONTRACTS AND TO
INCOME TAXATION. See Part 7, "Tax Aspects of the Contracts."
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
We offer a dollar cost averaging program under which allocations to the ARM
Capital Advisors Money Market Option are automatically transferred on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis to one or more other Variable Account
Options. You must specify a dollar amount to be transferred into each Variable
Account Option, and the current minimum transfer to each Option is $250. No
transfer charge will apply to transfers under our dollar cost averaging program,
and such transfers will not count towards the twelve transfers you may make in a
contract year before we may impose a transfer charge.
To enroll under our dollar cost averaging program, you must deliver the
appropriate administrative form to our Administrative Office. You or we may
terminate your participation in the program upon one day's prior written notice,
and we may terminate or amend the dollar cost averaging program at any time. If
you do not have sufficient funds in the ARM Capital Advisors Money Market Option
to transfer to each Variable Account Option specified, no transfer will be made
and your enrollment in the program will be ended.
SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PROGRAM
We also offer a systematic transfer program under which contributions to the
Systematic Transfer Option (STO) are automatically transferred on a monthly or
quarterly basis, as selected by you, to one or more other Investment Options.
Your STO contributions will be transferred in equal installments of not less
than $1,000 over a one year period. If you do not have sufficient funds in the
STO to transfer to each Option specified, a final transfer will be made on a pro
rata basis and your enrollment in the program will be ended. Any funds remaining
in the STO at the end of the one year period during which transfers are required
to be made will be transferred at the end of such period on a pro rata basis to
the Options previously elected by you for this program. No transfer charge will
apply to transfers under our systematic transfer program, and such transfers
will not count towards the twelve transfers you may make in a contract year
before we may impose a transfer charge.
To enroll under our systematic transfer program, you must deliver the
appropriate administrative form to our Administrative Office. We reserve the
right to terminate the systematic transfer program in whole or in part, or to
place restrictions on contributions to the program. This program may not be
currently available in some states.
29
<PAGE>
Asset Rebalancing
We offer an asset rebalancing program. You can select the frequency for
rebalancing. Frequencies available include rebalancing monthly, quarterly, semi-
annually or annually. The value in the Variable Account Options will be
automatically rebalanced by transfers among such Variable Account Options, and
you will receive a confirmation notice after each rebalancing. Transfers will
occur only to and from those Variable Account Options where you have current
contribution allocations. No transfer charge will apply to transfers under our
asset rebalancing program, and such transfers will not count towards the twelve
transfers you may make in a contract year before we may impose a transfer
charge.
Fixed Accounts are not eligible for the asset rebalancing program.
To enroll under our asset rebalancing program, you must deliver the appropriate
administrative form to our Administrative Office. You should be aware that other
allocation programs, such as dollar cost averaging, as well as transfers and
withdrawals that you make, may not work in concert with the asset rebalancing
program. You should, therefore, monitor your use of such other programs,
transfers, and withdrawals while the asset rebalancing program is in effect. You
or we may terminate your participation in the program upon one day's prior
written notice, and we may terminate or amend the asset rebalancing program at
any time.
SYSTEMATIC CONTRIBUTIONS
We offer a program for systematic contributions that allows you to pre-authorize
monthly withdrawals from your checking account for payment to us. To enroll
under our program, you must deliver the appropriate administrative form to our
Administrative Office. You or we may terminate your participation in the program
upon 30 days' prior written notice. Your participation may be terminated by us
if your bank declines to make any payment. The minimum amount for systematic
contributions is $1,000 per month.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance data for the Variable Account Options, including the yield and
effective yield of the ARM Capital Advisors Money Market Option, the yield of
the other Options, and the total return of all of the Options may appear in
advertisements or sales literature. Performance data for any Option reflects
only the performance of a hypothetical investment in the Option during the
particular time period on which the calculations are based. Performance
information should be considered in light of the investment objectives and
policies of the Portfolio in which the Option invests and the market conditions
during the given time period, and it should not be considered as a
representation of performance to be achieved in the future.
Total returns are based on the overall dollar or percentage change in value of a
hypothetical investment in an Option. Total return quotations reflect changes in
Fund share price, the automatic reinvestment by the Option of all distributions
and the deduction of applicable contract charges and expenses, including any
contingent withdrawal charge that would apply if an Owner surrendered the
contract at the end of the period indicated. Total returns also may be shown
that do not take into account the contingent withdrawal charge or the annual
administrative charge applicable where the Account Value is less than $50,000 at
the end of a contract year.
A cumulative total return reflects an Option's performance over a stated period
of time. An average annual total return reflects the hypothetical annually
compounded return that would have produced the same cumulative total return if
the Option's performance had been constant over the entire period. Because
average annual total returns tend to smooth out variations in an Option's
returns, you should recognize that they are not the same as actual year-by-year
results.
30
<PAGE>
Some Options may also advertise yield. These measures reflect the income
generated by an investment in the Option over a specified period of time. This
income is annualized and shown as a percentage. Yields do not take into account
capital gains or losses or the contingent withdrawal charge.
The ARM Capital Advisors Money Market Option may advertise its current and
effective yield. Current yield reflects the income generated by an investment in
the Option over a specified 7-day period. Effective yield is calculated in a
similar manner except that income earned is assumed to be reinvested. The
Pinnacle Fixed Income Option may advertise a 30-day yield which reflects the
income generated by an investment in such Option over a specified 30-day period.
For a detailed description of the methods used to determine yield and total
return for the Variable Account Options, see the SAI.

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATION OF A MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
Contribution:.................... $50,000.00
GRO Account duration:............ 7 Years
Guaranteed Interest Rate:........ 5% Annual Effective Rate
The following examples illustrate how the Market Value Adjustment and the
contingent withdrawal charge may effect the values of a contract upon a
withdrawal. The 5% assumed Guaranteed Interest Rate is the same rate used in the
Example under "Table of Annual Fees and Expenses" in this Prospectus. In these
examples, the withdrawal occurs three years after the initial contribution. The
Market Value Adjustment operates in a similar manner for transfers. No
contingent withdrawal charge applies to transfers.
The GRO Value for this $50,000 contribution is $70,355.02 at the expiration of
the GRO Account. After three years, the GRO Value is $57,881.25. It is also
assumed, for the purposes of these examples, that no prior partial withdrawals
or transfers have occurred.
The Market Value Adjustment will be based on the rate we are then crediting (at
the time of the withdrawal) on new contributions to GRO Accounts of the same
duration as the time remaining in your GRO Account, rounded to the next higher
number of complete months. If we do not declare a rate for the exact time
remaining, we will interpolate between the Guaranteed Interest Rates for GRO
Accounts of durations closest to (next higher and next lower) the remaining
period described above. Three years after the initial contribution, there would
have been four years remaining in your GRO Account. These examples also show the
withdrawal charge which would be calculated separately.
EXAMPLE OF A DOWNWARD MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
A downward Market Value Adjustment results from a full or partial withdrawal
that occurs when interest rates have increased. Assume interest rates have
increased three years after the initial contribution and we are then crediting
6.5% for a four-year GRO Account. Upon a full withdrawal, the Market Value
Adjustment, applying the above formula would be:
-0.0639789 = [(1 + .05)/48/12/ / (1 + .065 + .0025)/48/12/] - 1
The Market Value Adjustment is a reduction of $3,703.18 from the GRO Value:
-$3,703.18 = -0.0639789 X $57,881.25
The Market Adjusted Value would be:
$54,178.07 = $57,881.25 - $3,703.18
A withdrawal charge of 5% would be assessed against the $50,000 original
contribution:
$2,500.00 = $50,000.00 X .05
Thus, the amount payable on a full withdrawal would be:
$51,678.07 = $57,881.25 - $3,703.18 - $2,500.00
32
<PAGE>
If instead of a full withdrawal, $20,000 was requested, we would first determine
the free withdrawal amount:
Greater of:
a) $5,788.13 = $57,881.25 X .10
or
b) $2,756.25 = gain in prior contract year
Free Amount = $5,788.13
The non-free amount would be:
$14,211.87 = $20,000.00 - $5,788.13
The Market Value Adjustment, which is only applicable to the non-free amount,
would be
- $909.26 = - .0639789 X $14,211.87
The withdrawal charge would be:
$795.85 = [($14,211.87+ $909.26)/(1 - .05)] - ($14,211.87+ 909.26)
Thus, the total amount needed to provide $20,000 after the Market Value
Adjustment and withdrawal charge would be:
$21,705.11 = $20,000.00 + $909.26 + $795.85
EXAMPLE OF AN UPWARD MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
An upward Market Value Adjustment results from a full or partial withdrawal that
occurs when interest rates have decreased. Assume interest rates have decreased
three years after the initial contribution and we are then crediting 4% for a
four-year GRO Account. Upon a full withdrawal, the Market Value Adjustment,
applying the formula set forth in the prospectus, would be:
0.0290890 = [(1 + .05)/48/12/ / (1 + .04 + .0025)/48/12/] - 1
The Market Value Adjustment is an increase of $1,683.71 to the GRO Value:
$1,683.71 = 0.0290890 X $57,881.25
The Market Adjusted Value would be:
$59,564.96 = $57,881.25 + $1,683.71
A withdrawal charge of 5% would be assessed against the $50,000 original
contribution:
$2,500.00 = $50,000.00 X .05
Thus, the amount payable on a full withdrawal would be:
$57,064.96 = $57,881.25 + $1,683.71 - $2,500.00
33
<PAGE>
If instead of a full withdrawal, $20,000 was requested, the free withdrawal
amount and non-free amount would first be determined as above:
Free Amount = $ 5,788.13
Non-Free Amount = $14,211.87
The Market Value Adjustment would be:
$413.41 = .0290890 X $14,211.87
The withdrawal charge would be:
$726.23 = [($14,211.87 - $413.41)/(1 - .05)] - ($14,211.87 - $413.41)
Thus, the total amount needed to provide $20,000 after the Market Value
Adjustment and withdrawal charge would be:
$20,312.82 = $20,000.00 - $413.41 + $726.23
Actual Market Value Adjustments may have a greater or lesser impact than shown
in the examples, depending on the actual change in interest crediting rate and
the timing of the withdrawal or transfer in relation to the time remaining in
the GRO Account. Also account values less than $50,000 will be subject to a $30
annual charge.

PART 1 - INTEGRITY AND CUSTODIAN
Integrity is an Ohio stock life insurance company that sells life insurance and
annuities. Its principal executive offices are located at 515 West Market
Street, Louisville, Kentucky, 40202, and it maintains administrative offices in
Columbus, Ohio. Integrity, the depositor of Separate Account II, is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Integrity Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation which is a
holding company engaged in no active business. Integrity owns 100% of the stock
of National Integrity Life Insurance Company, a New York stock life insurance
corporation. All outstanding shares of Integrity Holdings, Inc. are owned by ARM
Financial Group, Inc. (ARM), a Delaware corporation which is a financial
services company focusing on the long-term savings and retirement marketplace by
providing retail and institutional products and services throughout the United
States. ARM owns 100% of the stock of (I) ARM Securities Corporation (ARM
Securities), a Minnesota corporation, registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer
and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (ii) ARM
Capital Advisors, Inc., a New York corporation registered with the SEC as an
investment adviser, (iii) SBM Certificate Company, a Minnesota corporation
registered with the SEC as an issuer of face-amount certificates, and (iv) ARM
Transfer Agency, Inc., a Delaware corporation registered with the SEC as a
transfer and dividend disbursing agency. Approximately 91% of the outstanding
voting stock of ARM is owned by The Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund II,
L.P., Morgan Stanley Capital Partners III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Capital
Investors, L.P., and MSCP III 892 Investors, L.P., each of which is a Delaware
limited partnership (collectively, the MSCP Funds). The MSCP Funds are private
equity funds sponsored by Morgan Stanley Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation
that, through its subsidiaries, provides a wide range of financial services on a
global basis (Morgan Stanley). The general partner of each of the MSCP Funds is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. Oldarm Limited Partnership, a
Kentucky limited partnership, New ARM, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability
company, and certain current and former employees and management of ARM own in
the aggregate approximately 9% of the voting stock of ARM.
No person has the direct or indirect power to control Morgan Stanley except
insofar as he or she may have such power by virtue of his or her capacity as a
director or executive officer thereof. Morgan Stanley is publicly held; no
individual beneficially owns more than 5% of the common shares; however,
approximately 31% of such shares are subject to a stockholders' agreement or
voting agreement among certain current and former principals and employees of
Morgan Stanley and its predecessor.
Beginning in 1994, ARM provided substantially all of the services required to be
performed on behalf of the Separate Account. Total fees paid to ARM by Integrity
for management services in 1994 and 1995, including services applicable to the
Registrant, were $11,261,398 and $7,462,365, respectively.
Integrity is the custodian for the shares of The Legends Fund, Inc. owned by the
Separate Account. The Fund's shares are held in book-entry form.
Reports and marketing materials, from time to time, may include information
concerning the rating of Integrity, as determined by A.M. Best Company, Moody's
Investor Service, Standard & Poor's Corporation, Duff & Phelps Corporation, or
other recognized rating services. Integrity is currently rated "A" (Excellent)
by A.M. Best Company, and has received claims paying ability ratings of "A"
(Good) from Standard & Poor's Corporation, Baa1 from Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., and "A+" (High) from Duff and Phelps Credit Rating Company. However,
Integrity does not guarantee the investment performance of the portfolios, and
these ratings do not reflect protection against investment risk.
Under prior management, Integrity was subject to a consent order in the State of
Florida under which it was precluded from writing new business in Florida from
May, 1992 to November, 1994. The consent order was entered into on May 6, 1992
as a result of noncompliance with certain investment
2
<PAGE>
restrictions under Florida law. Due to the substantial asset restructuring and
capital infusions involved with Integrity's acquisition by ARM in November,
1993, Integrity came to be fully in compliance with the investment limitations
of the State of Florida and a request for full relief from the consent order was
granted by the Florida Department of Insurance on November 4, 1994.
On April 1, 1996, Integrity purchased for its own account approximately 478,900
shares of the Pinnacle Fixed Income Option, at net asset value, for an aggregate
purchase price of $5.1 million, for the purpose of "seeding" the Option.
Integrity intends to redeem its shares on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the
extent, and at the same time as, the Options have sales in respect to
policyholders. As of September 30, 1996, the shares of the Pinnacle Fixed Income
Option purchased by Integrity constituted 49.4% of the outstanding shares of the
Option.
PART 2 - DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
ARM Securities, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARM, is the principal underwriter
of the contracts. ARM Securities is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer
and is a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ARM Securities' address is 515 West Market Street, Louisville,
Kentucky 40202. The contracts are offered through ARM Securities on a continuous
basis.
We generally pay a maximum distribution allowance of 7.5% of initial
contributions, plus .50% trail commission paid on Account Value after the eighth
Contract Year. The amount of distribution allowances paid was $937,352,
$6,200,036 and $5,825,711 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively. No distribution allowances were retained by ARM Securities during
these years. Integrity may from time to time pay or allow additional promotional
incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation, to broker-dealers that
sell contracts. In some instances, such other incentives may be offered only to
certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell during specified time
periods certain minimum amounts of the contracts.
PART 3 - PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Each Variable Account Option may from time to time include the Average Annual
Total Return, the Cumulative Total Return, and Yield of its shares in
advertisements or in information furnished to shareholders. The ARM Capital
Advisors Money Market Option may also from time to time include the Yield and
Effective Yield of its shares in information furnished to shareholders.
Performance information is computed separately for each Option in accordance
with the formulas described below. At any time in the future, total return and
yields may be higher or lower than in the past and there can be no assurance
that any historical results will continue.
Total Returns
Total returns reflect all aspects of an Option's return, including the automatic
reinvestment by the Option of all distributions and the deduction of all
applicable charges to the Option on an annual basis, including mortality risk
and expense charges, the annual administrative charge and other charges against
contract values. Quotations also will assume a termination (surrender) at the
end of the particular period and reflect the deductions of the contingent
withdrawal charge, if applicable. Total returns may be shown simultaneously that
do not take into account deduction of the contingent withdrawal charge, and/or
the annual administrative charge.
Average annual total returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline
in the value of a hypothetical historical investment in the Option over certain
periods, including 1, 5, and 10 years (up to the life of the Option), and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the
same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the
3
<PAGE>
period. Investors should realize that the Option's performance is not constant
over time, but changes from year to year, and that the average annual returns
represent the averages of historical figures as opposed to the actual historical
performance of an Option during any portion of the period illustrated. Average
annual returns are calculated pursuant to the following formula: P(1+T)/n/ =
ERV, where P is a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000, T is the average
annual total return, n is the number of years, and ERV is the withdrawal value
at the end of the period.
Cumulative total returns are unaveraged and reflect the simple percentage change
in the value of a hypothetical investment in the Option over a stated period of
time. In addition to the period since inception, cumulative total returns may be
calculated on a year-to-date basis at the end of each calendar month in the
current calendar year. The last day of the period for year-to-date returns is
the last day of the most recent calendar month at the time of publication.
Yields
Some Options may advertise yields. Yields quoted in advertising reflect the
change in value of a hypothetical investment in the Option over a stated period
of time, not taking into account capital gains or losses or the imposition of
any contingent withdrawal charge. Yields are annualized and stated as a
percentage.
Current yield and effective yield are calculated for the Money Market Option.
Current Yield is based on the change in the value of a hypothetical investment
(exclusive of capital changes) over a particular 7-day period, less a
hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from contract values during the period
(the base period), and stated as a percentage of the investment at the start of
the base period (the base period return). The base period return is then
annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting yield figure carried to
at least the nearest hundredth of one percent. Effective yield assumes that all
dividends received during an annual period have been reinvested. This
compounding effect causes effective yield to be higher than current yield.
Calculation of effective yield begins with the same base period return used in
the calculation of current yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly
compounding pursuant to the following formula:
Effective Yield = {(Base Period Return) + 1)/365/7/} - 1
4
<PAGE>
The table below provides average annual total returns for each Option for the
one and three year periods ending September 30, 1996 and from inception through
September 30, 1996. The "contract continues" columns show returns if the
contract continues and is not terminated, and the "contract surrendered" columns

Performance Comparisons
Performance information for an Option may be compared, in reports and
advertising, to: (1) Standard & Poor's Stock Index (S&P 500), Dow Jones
Industrial Averages, (DJIA), Donoghue Money Market Institutional Averages, or
other unmanaged indices generally regarded as representative of the securities
markets; (2) other variable annuity separate accounts or other investment
products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. or the Variable Annuity
Research and Data Service, which are
6
<PAGE>
widely used independent research firms that rank mutual funds and other
investment companies by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets;
and (3) the Consumer Price Index (measure of inflation) to assess the real rate
of return from an investment in a contract. Unmanaged indices may assume the
reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deductions for annuity
charges, investment management costs, brokerage costs and other transaction
costs that are normally paid when directly investing in securities.
Each Option may from time to time also include the ranking of its performance
figures relative to such figures for groups of mutual funds categorized by
Lipper Analytical Services (Lipper) as having the same or similar investment
objectives or by similar services that monitor the performance of mutual funds.
Each Option may also from time to time compare its performance to average mutual
fund performance figures compiled by Lipper in Lipper Performance Analysis.
Advertisements or information furnished to present shareholders or prospective
investors may also include evaluations of an Option published by nationally
recognized ranking services and by financial publications that are nationally
recognized such as Barron's, Business Week, CDA Technologies, Inc., Changing
Times, Consumer's Digest, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Financial Planning,
Financial Times, Financial World, Forbes, Fortune, Global Investor, Hulbert's
Financial Digest, Institutional Investor, Investors Daily, Money, Morningstar
Mutual Funds, The New York Times, Personal Investor, Stanger's Investment
Adviser, Value Line, The Wall Street Journal, Wiesenberger Investment Company
Service and USA Today.
The performance figures described above may also be used to compare the
performance of an Option's shares against certain widely recognized standards or
indices for stock and bond market performance. The following are the indices
against which the Options may compare performance:

PART 4 - DETERMINATION OF ANNUITY UNIT VALUES
This section relates to the discussion in the prospectus under "Annuity
Payments."
The annuity unit value was fixed on May 7, 1987 at $1.00 for certificates with
assumed base rates of net investment return of 5% and 3.5% a year, respectively.
For each valuation period after that date, it is the annuity value for the
preceding valuation period multiplied by the adjusted net investment factor
under the certificates. For each valuation period, the adjusted net investment
factor is equal to the net investment factor reduced for each day in the
valuation period by:
* .00013366 for a certificate with an assumed base rate of net investment
return of 5% a year; or
* .00009425 for a certificate with an assumed base rate of net investment
return of 3.5% a year.
Because of this adjustment, the annuity unit value rises and falls depending on
whether the actual rate of net investment return (after charges) is higher or
lower than the assumed base rate.
All certificates have a 5% assumed base rate, except in states where that rate
is not permitted. Annuity payments under certificates with an assumed base rate
of 3.5% will at first be smaller than those under certificates with a 5% assumed
base rate. Payments under the 3.5% certificates,
10
<PAGE>
however, will rise more rapidly when unit values are rising, and payments will
fall more slowly when unit values are falling, than those under 5% certificates.
The amounts of variable annuity payments are determined as follows:
Payments normally start on the Annuitant's retirement date. The first three
monthly payments are the same. Each of the first three monthly payments will be
based on the amount taken from the tables in the certificate or on our current
rates, whichever is more favorable to the participant. Where the Company's
current annuity rates are used, contributions in the current and five prior
participation years will qualify for the Company's current individual annuity
rates applicable to funds derived from sources outside the Company. The
balance of the proceeds will qualify for the Company's current individual
annuity rates for payment of proceeds.
The first three monthly payments depend on the assumed base rate of net
investment return and the forms of annuity chosen (and any fixed period). If the
annuity involves a life contingency, the risk class and the age of the
annuitants will affect payments.
Payments after the first three months will vary according to the investment
performance of the Variable Account Option or Options selected. After that,
each payment will be calculated by multiplying the number of annuity units
credited by the average annuity unit value for the second calendar month before
the due date of the payment. The average annuity unit value is the average of
the annuity unit values for the valuation periods ending in that month.
Illustration of Changes in Annuity Unit Values. To show how we determine
variable annuity payments from month to month, assume that the certificate value
on a retirement date is enough to fund an annuity with a monthly payment of $363
and that the annuity unit value for the valuation period that includes the due
date of the first annuity payment is $1.05. The number of annuity units
credited under your certificate would be 345.71 (363 divided by 1.05 = 345.71).
If the fourth monthly payment is due in March, and the average annuity unit
value for January was $1.10, the annuity payment for March would be the number
of units (345.71) times the average annuity unit value ($1.10), or $380.28. If
the average annuity unit value was $1.00 in February, the annuity payment for
April would be 345.71 times $1.00 or, or $345.71.
For period certain life annuities and life income annuities, the participant may
not surrender or redeem once annuity payments commence. For period certain life
annuities only, if the payee (or the payee and the other annuitant under a joint
and survivor annuity) dies before the period selected ends, the remaining
payments will go to another named payee who may have the right to redeem the
annuity and secure the present value of future guaranteed payments in a lump
sum. The present value of future guaranteed payments for a period certain is
based on the number of payments left, the assumed base rate of net return, the
number of annuity units and the annuity unit value for the date the Company
receives a written request for lump sum payment of remaining values.

Separate Account II
of
Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Integrity Life Insurance Company ("Integrity") established Separate Account II
(the "Separate Account") on May 21, 1992, for the purpose of issuing flexible
payment variable annuity contracts ("contracts"). The Separate Account is a unit
investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The operations of the Separate Account
are part of Integrity.
Integrity is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ARM Financial Group, Inc.
("ARM"). ARM is a financial services company focusing on the long-term savings
and retirement marketplace by providing retail and institutional products and
services throughout the United States.
Contract holders may allocate or transfer their account values to one or more
investment divisions of the Separate Account or to one or more fixed guaranteed
rate options of Integrity's Separate Account GPO. The Separate Account divisions
invest in shares of corresponding investment portfolios of The Legends Fund,
Inc. ("Legends Fund"), a "series" type mutual fund. The contract holder's
account value in a Separate Account division will vary depending on the
performance of the corresponding portfolio. Integrity served as investment
adviser to the Legends Fund. Integrity had entered into a sub-advisory agreement
with a professional manager for investment of the assets of each of the
portfolios. Effective February 1, 1996 ARM Capital Advisors, Inc. ("ARM Capital
Advisors"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARM, assumed Integrity's role as
investment adviser to the Legends Fund. ARM Capital Advisors is registered with
the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Separate Account
currently has ten investment divisions available. The investment objective of
each division and its corresponding portfolio are the same. Set forth below is a
summary of the investment objectives of the portfolios of the Legends Fund.
Renaissance Balanced Portfolio seeks capital appreciation and income in
rising markets and the preservation of capital in declining markets. Its
assets are allocated among common stocks of issuers with large
capitalizations, United States government and high-quality corporate debt
securities, and high quality cash equivalent issues,
10

Separate Account II

Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
such as commercial paper. Equity investments will generally range from 10%
to 75% of the total assets in the portfolio, and under normal market
conditions at least 25% of total assets will be invested in senior fixed
income securities. Renaissance Investment Management is the sub-adviser to
the portfolio.
Zweig Asset Allocation Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. It
invests primarily in blue chip stocks, consistent with preservation of
capital and the reduction of portfolio exposure to market risk, as
determined by the sub-adviser to the portfolio. Blue chip stocks are stocks
which the sub-adviser considers comparable to the stocks included in the
S&P 500 at the time of purchase, and that have a minimum of $400 million
market capitalization, average daily trading volume of 50,000 shares or
$425 million in total assets, and which are traded on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE"), American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"), over-the-counter
("OTC") or on foreign exchanges. Zweig/Glaser Advisers is the sub-adviser
to the portfolio.
Nicholas-Applegate Balanced Portfolio seeks maximum total return in both
the equity and fixed income portion of its investments. Under normal market
conditions, the portfolio will have 60% to 65% of its total assets invested
in equity securities, including common stocks and securities convertible
into or exchangeable for common stocks (such as convertible preferred
stocks and convertible debentures). The remaining 35% to 40% of total
assets will be invested in U.S. government securities or cash equivalent
issues. Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management is the sub-adviser to the
portfolio.
Harris Bretall Sullivan & Smith Equity Growth Portfolio seeks long-term
capital appreciation. It primarily invests in stocks of established
companies with proven records of superior and consistent growth. The
portfolio may invest all or a portion of its assets in cash and cash
equivalents if the sub-adviser considers the equity markets to be
overvalued. The portfolio may invest in U.S. government securities when
this appears desirable in light of the portfolio's investment objective or
when market conditions warrant. Harris Bretall Sullivan & Smith, Inc. is
the sub-adviser to the portfolio.
Dreman Value Portfolio seeks primarily long-term capital appreciation with
a secondary objective of current income. It invests principally in a
diversified portfolio
11
<PAGE>
Separate Account II
of
Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
of securities believed by the sub-adviser to be undervalued. The sub-
adviser's philosophy centers on identifying stocks of large, well-known
companies with solid financial strength and generous dividend yields that
have low price-earnings ratios and have been generally overlooked by the
market. Dreman Value Advisors, Inc. is the sub-adviser to the portfolio.
Zweig Equity (Small Cap) Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. It
invests primarily in small company stocks, consistent with preservation of
capital and reduction of portfolio exposure to market risk, as determined
by the sub-adviser. Current income is not an objective. Small Company
Stocks are the 2,500 stock positions immediately after the 500 largest
stocks ranked in terms of market capitalization and/or trading volume, and
which are traded on the NYSE, AMEX, OTC or on foreign exchanges.
Zweig/Glaser Advisers is the sub-adviser to the portfolio.
Mitchell Hutchins Fixed Income Portfolio seeks as high a level of current
income as is consistent with the preservation of capital. It invests in
corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities (including mortgage-backed
certificates issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the
Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation), repurchase agreements with respect to securities in which the
portfolio may invest and instruments used in certain hedging and related
income strategies. The portfolio will principally invest in securities
rated at least investment grade or, if not rated, determined by the sub-
adviser to be of comparable quality. The portfolio may invest up to 15% of
its total assets in securities rated below investment grade or of
equivalent quality, including defaulted securities. Mitchell Hutchins
Institutional Investors Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a subsidiary of
PaineWebber Incorporated, was the sub-adviser to the portfolio during the
year.
Mitchell Hutchins Money Market Portfolio seeks maximum current income
consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. It invests in high
grade money market instruments, with remaining maturities of 13 months or
less, and repurchase agreements secured by such instruments, and maintains
a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less. Mitchell
Hutchins was the sub-adviser to the portfolio during the year.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Morgan Stanley Asian Growth Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation
through investment primarily in the common stocks of Asian issuers,
excluding Japan. Under normal market conditions, the portfolio will invest
at least 65% of the value of its total assets in common stocks that are
traded on recognized stock exchanges of Asian countries and in common
stocks of companies organized under the laws of an Asian country whose
business is conducted principally in Asia. The portfolio does not intend to
invest in securities which are traded in markets in Japan or in companies
organized under the laws of Japan. The portfolio's relatively large
investment in countries with limited or developing capital markets may
involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets and the
prices of such investments may be volatile.
Morgan Stanley Worldwide High Income Portfolio seeks high current income
consistent with relative stability of principal and, secondarily, capital
appreciation through investing primarily in a portfolio of high-yielding
fixed-income securities of issuers located throughout the world. The
portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its
assets among any or all of three investment sectors: U.S. corporate lower-
rated and unrated debt securities, emerging country debt securities and
global fixed-income securities offering high yields. The portfolio's
relatively large investment in countries with limited or developing capital
markets may involve greater risks than investments in more developed
markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile.
Morgan Stanley Asset Management Inc. ("MSAM") serves as sub-advisor to the
Morgan Stanley Asian Growth portfolio and the Morgan Stanley Worldwide High
Income portfolio. MSAM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Group Inc.
("Morgan Stanley"). Approximately 91% of the outstanding voting stock of ARM is
owned by certain private equity funds sponsored by Morgan Stanley, therefore
these two entities are considered affiliates.
The assets of the Separate Account are owned by Integrity. The portion of the
Separate Account's assets supporting the contracts may not be used to satisfy
liabilities arising out of any other business of Integrity.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for unit investment trusts.

Separate Account II
of
Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INVESTMENTS
Investments in shares of the Legends Fund are valued at the net asset values of
the respective portfolios, which approximates fair value. The difference between
cost and fair value is reflected as unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
investments.
Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
sales of shares of the Legends Fund are determined based on the identified cost
basis.
Dividends from income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Dividends from the portfolios are reinvested in the portfolios
and are reflected in the unit value of the divisions of the Separate Account.
UNIT VALUE
Unit values for the Separate Account divisions are computed at the end of each
business day. The unit value is equal to the unit value for the preceding
business day multiplied by a net investment factor. This net investment factor
is determined based on the value of the underlying mutual fund portfolios of the
Separate Account, reinvested dividends and capital gains, new premium deposits
or withdrawals, and the daily asset charge for the mortality and expense risk
and administrative charges. Unit values are adjusted daily for all activity in
the Separate Account.
TAXES
Operations of the Separate Account are included in the income tax return of
Integrity, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
Code. The Separate Account will not be taxed as a regulated investment company

expenses related to the operations of the Separate Account and deducts a charge
from the assets of the Separate Account at an annual rate of 1.20% and 0.15% of

4. AMOUNT RETAINED BY INTEGRITY (CONTINUED)
During 1994, Integrity allocated $4.5 million to the Morgan Stanley Worldwide
High Income Division. Also during 1994, Integrity transferred to its general
account all amounts retained by Integrity in the Renaissance Balanced, Zweig
Asset Allocation, Nicholas-Applegate Balanced, Harris Bretall Sullivan & Smith
Equity Growth, Dreman Value, and Zweig Equity (Small Cap) Divisions and
$1,989,323 retained in the Morgan Stanley Worldwide High Income Division. In
1995, Integrity transferred to its general account $1,080,476 retained in the
Morgan Stanley Worldwide High Income Division.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 16, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Legends Fund voted to
terminate the sub-advisory agreements with the sub-advisers of the Mitchell
Hutchins Fixed Income Portfolio ("Fixed Income Portfolio") and the Mitchell
Hutchins Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market Portfolio"). The two sub-advisory
agreements terminated effective March 31, 1996. On April 1, 1996, J.P. Morgan
Investment Management, Inc. ("J.P. Morgan") became the sub-adviser for the Fixed
Income Portfolio. The new name of the Fixed Income Portfolio is the Pinnacle
Fixed Income Portfolio. Concurrently, the Legends Fund's Board of Directors also
voted to amend the Management Agreement between the Fixed Income Portfolio and
ARM Capital Advisors to reduce the annual advisory fee relating to the Fixed
Income Portfolio from .90% to .70% of average net assets. ARM Capital Advisors
will compensate J.P. Morgan for its services as sub-adviser at the annual rate
of .50% of average net assets. On April 1, 1996, ARM Capital advisors began
managing the Money Market Portfolio directly without any sub-adviser. The new
name of the Money Market Portfolio is ARM Capital Advisors Money Market
Portfolio. Concurrently, the Legends Fund's Board of Directors also voted to
amend the fees payable under the Management Agreement for the Money Market
Portfolio from .65% to .50% of average net assets. The investment objectives of
the portfolios will remain unchanged.
On April 1, 1996, Integrity invested, for its own account, $5.1 million in the
Pinnacle Fixed Income Division.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
Integrity Life Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying statutory basis balance sheet of Integrity Life
Insurance Company as of December 31, 1995, and the related statutory basis
statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the
year then ended. 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 audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance. The
variances between such practices and generally accepted accounting principles
and the effects on the accompanying financial statements are described in
Note 1.
In our opinion, because of the materiality of the effects of the variances
between generally accepted accounting principles and the accounting practices
referred to in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to
above are not intended to and do not present fairly, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Integrity
Life Insurance Company at December 31, 1995, or the results of its operations or
its cash flows for the year then ended. However, in our opinion, the
supplementary information included in Note 1 presents fairly, in all material
respects, shareholder's equity at December 31, 1995, and net income for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

<PAGE>
Also, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Integrity Life Insurance
Company at December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting practices prescribed
or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance.
We previously audited and reported on the statutory basis balance sheet and the
statutory basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and
cash flows of Integrity Life Insurance Company for the year ended December 31,
1994, prior to their restatement for the 1995 statutory merger as described in
Note 2. The contribution of Integrity Life Insurance Company to total admitted
assets, capital and surplus, and net income represented 68%, 75%, and 87% of the
respective restated totals. Statutory basis financial statements of the other
merged company included in the 1994 restated statutory basis statements were
audited and reported on separately by other auditors. We also have audited, as
to combination only, the accompanying statutory basis balance sheet and the
related statutory basis statements of operations, changes in capital and
surplus, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1994, after restatement
for the 1995 statutory merger; in our opinion, such statutory basis financial
statements have been properly combined on the basis described in Note 2 to the
statutory basis financial statements.

Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory Basis)
December 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Integrity Life Insurance Company ("Integrity" or the "Company") is an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of ARM Financial Group, Inc. ("ARM"). ARM acquired the
Company and its wholly owned insurance subsidiary, National Integrity Life
Insurance Company ("National Integrity"), on November 26, 1993 from The National
Mutual Life Association of Australasia Limited ("National Mutual"). The Company
is domiciled in the state of Ohio. Integrity, currently licensed in 44 states
and the District of Columbia, and National Integrity Life Insurance company
provide retail and institutional products throughout the United States to the
long-term savings and retirement marketplace.
On June 14, 1995, the Company's indirect parent, ARM, completed the acquisition
of substantially all of the assets and business operations of SBM Company
("SBM"), including all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of SBM's
subsidiaries, State Bond and Mortgage Life Insurance Company ("SBM Life"),
domiciled in Minnesota, and SBM Financial Services, Inc. ("SBM Financial
Services"), and SBM's management contracts with the State Bond group of mutual
funds (the "Acquisition"). By virtue of the Acquisition, ARM acquired control of
SBM Certificate Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SBM Life. Concurrent with
the Acquisition, ARM acquired all outstanding shares of the authorized capital
stock of SBM certificate Company from SBM Life for a purchase price of $3.3
million. The designated effective date of the Acquisition was May 31, 1995.
The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition was $38.8 million. ARM financed
the Acquisition by issuing a total of 9,770 shares of ARM's Class A common stock
to certain private equity funds managed by a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Group
Inc. and certain private investors for an aggregate sale price of $63.5 million.
ARM used proceeds from issuance of the new common equity in excess of the
adjusted purchase price for the Acquisition to (i) make a $19.9 million capital
contribution to SMB Life, (ii) acquire SBM Certificate Company from SBM Life for
$3.3 million, and (iii) provide for fees and expenses related to the
Acquisition.
ARM's $19.9 million capital contribution to SBM Life was used to strengthen SBM
Life's financial position and allowed for a significant investment portfolio
restructuring immediately following the acquisition with no adverse effect on
statutory adjusted capital

and surplus. In connection with the Acquisition, on May 31, 1995, SBM Life was
permitted by the Insurance Division of the State of Minnesota Department of
Commerce to record a direct charge to paid-in capital of $15.3 million which
represented the effect of marking to market its entire bond portfolio on that
date.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio
Department of Insurance. Such practices vary from generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). The more significant variances from GAAP are as follows:
INVESTMENTS
Investments in bonds and preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or
market value based on their National Association of Insurance Commissioners
("NAIC") rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at
purchase as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Held-to-
maturity fixed investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining
fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized
holding gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as
trading and as a separate component of shareholder's equity for those
designated as available-for-sale. In addition, fair values of certain
investments in bonds and stocks are based on values specified by the NAIC,
rather than on actual or estimated market values. Mortgage loans on real
estate in good standing are reported at unpaid principal balances. Realized
gains and losses are reported in income net of income tax and transfers to
the interest maintenance reserve. Changes between cost and admitted
investment asset amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned
surplus rather than to a separate surplus account. The Asset Valuation
Reserve is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a
liability rather than unassigned surplus. Under a formula prescribed by the
NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales
of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans,
attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes
those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on the
individual security sold using the seriatim method.
10
<PAGE>
Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory Basis) (continued)
1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The net deferral is reported as the Interest Maintenance Reserve in the
accompanying balance sheets. Under GAAP, realized gains and losses are
reported in the income statement on a pretax basis in the period that the
asset giving rise to the gain or loss is sold and valuation allowances are
provided when there has been a decline in value deemed other than temporary,
in which case, the provision for such declines would be charged to income.
SUBSIDIARIES
The accounts and operations of the Company's subsidiaries are not
consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be
required under GAAP.
POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under
GAAP, acquisition costs related to investment-type products, to the extent
recoverable from future gross profits, are amortized generally in proportion
to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and
investment, mortality, and expense margins.
NONADMITTED ASSETS
Certain assets designated as "nonadmitted," principally agents' debit
balances, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged
directly to unassigned surplus.
PREMIUMS
Revenues for investment-type products consist of the entire premium received
and benefits represent the death benefits paid and the change in policy
reserves. Under GAAP, such premiums received are accounted for as deposits
and therefore not recognized as premium revenue; benefits paid equal to the
policy account value are accounted for as a return of deposit instead of
benefit expense.

1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
BENEFIT RESERVES
Certain policy reserves are calculated using statutorily prescribed interest
and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or
actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Deferred federal income taxes are not provided for differences between the
financial statement amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The effects of the foregoing variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory
basis financial statements are as follows:

Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

Bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, and short-term investments, are stated
at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:
Bonds and short-term investments are reported at cost or amortized cost; the
discount or premium on bonds is amortized using the interest method. For
loan-backed bonds, anticipated prepayments are considered when determining
the amortization of discount or premium.

1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed bonds and structured securities were
obtained from broker-dealer survey values or internal estimates. These
assumptions are consistent with the current interest rate and economic
environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such
securities.
Preferred stocks are reported at cost or amortized cost.
The Company's insurance subsidiary is reported at equity in the underlying
statutory basis of its net assets. Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts
of investments in subsidiaries are credited or charged directly to unassigned
surplus.
Mortgage loans and policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.
Short-term investments includes investments with maturities of less than one
year at the date of acquisition.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification method.
BENEFITS
Insurance and annuity reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are
determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates
and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are
greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash values or the
amounts required by the Ohio Department of Insurance. The Company waives
deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of life and annuity
policy insureds and does not return any premium beyond the date of death.
Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserve.
Policies issued subject to multiple table substandard extra premiums are valued
on the standard reserve basis which recognizes the non-level incidence of the
excess mortality costs. Additional reserves are established when the results of
cash flow testing under various interest rate scenarios indicate the need for
such reserves.
Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserve released, and tabular cost have
been determined by formula as prescribed by the NAIC.

1. Organization and Accounting Policies (continued)
POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS
Unpaid benefits and related expenses are established for estimates of payments
to be made on individual insurance claims that have been incurred and reported,
and estimates of losses which have occurred but have not been reported.
Management believes that its reserve estimate for policy and contract claims is
adequate.
REINSURANCE
Reinsurance premiums, benefits and expenses are accounted for on bases
consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and
the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums, benefits and expenses, and the
reserves for policy and contract liabilities are reported net, rather than
gross, of reinsured amounts.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying balance
sheets represent funds that are separately administered, principally for
variable annuity contracts. Separate account assets are reported at market
value. Surrender charges collectible by the general account in the event of
variable policy surrenders are reported as a negative liability rather than an
asset pursuant to prescribed NAIC accounting practices. The operations of the
separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements,
except for separate accounts with guarantees.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with statutory accounting
practices requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
2. MERGER
On December 31, 1995 and pursuant to approvals received from the applicable
regulatory authorities, including the Ohio Department of Insurance, SBM Life was
merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"). In accordance with prescribed
statutory accounting practices, the statutory basis financial statements
retroactively give effect to the merger.
15
<PAGE>
Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory Basis) (continued)
2. MERGER (CONTINUED)
Accordingly, the accompanying 1994 financial statements and notes to financial
statements of the Company have been restated to include the accounts of SBM
Life. The capital stock and paid-in capital reported at December 31, 1995 and
1994 represent balances for the Company (adjusted for the aforementioned charge
to paid-in-capital and offsetting capital contribution). All remaining SBM Life
capital and surplus is included as unassigned surplus. Selected financial
information of the separate entities prior to the Merger is as follows:

</TABLE>
3. PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The Company's statutory basis financial statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of
Insurance. "Prescribed" statutory accounting practices include state laws,
regulations, and general administrative rules, as well as a variety of
publications of the NAIC. "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass
all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices may differ from
state to state, may differ from company to company within a state, and may
change in the future. The NAIC currently is in the process of recodifying
statutory accounting practices, the result of which is expected to constitute
the only source of "prescribed" statutory accounting practices. Accordingly,
that project, which is expected to be completed in 1997, will likely change, to
some extent, prescribed statutory accounting practices, and may result in
changes to the accounting practices that the Company uses to prepare its
statutory financial statements. Although the recodification project is meant to
be surplus neutral, there is not enough available information for the industry
to assess the impact of such project.

3. PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES (CONTINUED)
On December 30, 1994, the Company redomesticated from Arizona to Ohio. In
conjunction with the redomestication, written approval was received from the
Ohio Department of Insurance to offset the reported deficit in the Company's
unassigned funds account against its gross paid-in and contributed surplus
account as of December 31, 1993. The Company requested permission for that
accounting because prescribed statutory accounting practices did not address
that subject. The change did not affect the total capital and surplus of the
Company as of December 31, 1994.

Fair values are based on published quotations of the Securities Valuation Office
of the NAIC. Fair values generally represent quoted market value prices for
securities traded in the public marketplace, or analytically determined values
using bid or closing prices for securities not traded in the public marketplace.
However, for certain investments for which the NAIC does not provide a value,
the Company uses the amortized cost amount as a substitute for fair value in
accordance with prescribed guidance. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the fair
value of investments in bonds includes $646,393,000 and $560,877,000,
respectively, of bonds that were valued at amortized cost.
A summary of the cost or amortized cost and fair value of the Company's
investments in bonds at December 31, 1995, by contractual maturity, is as
follows:

The expected maturities in the foregoing table may differ from the contractual
maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties and because asset-
backed and mortgage-backed securities (including floating-rate securities)
provide for periodic payments throughout their life.
Proceeds from the sales of investments in bonds during 1995 and 1994 were
$912,298,000 and $633,723,000; gross gains of $21,015,000 and $2,746,000, and
gross losses of $10,561,000 and $37,209,000 were realized on those sales,
respectively.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, bonds with an admitted asset value of $24,192,000
and $22,699,000, respectively, were on deposit with state insurance departments
to satisfy regulatory requirements.

The Company has made no new investments in mortgage loans during 1995. The
maximum percentage of any one loan to the value of the security at the time of
the loan exclusive of any purchase money mortgages is 75%. Fire insurance at
least equal to the excess of the loan over the maximum loan which would be
permitted by law on the land without the buildings is required on all properties
covered by mortgage loans. As of year-end the Company held no mortgages with
interest more than one year past due. During 1995, no interest rates of
outstanding mortgage loans were reduced. No amounts have been advanced by the
Company.
In connection with the change in control of the Company during 1993, National
Mutual agreed to indemnify the Company pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated
November 26, 1993, with respect to (i) principal (up to 100%) of the Company's
mortgage loans' statutory book value as of December 31, 1992 and (ii)
contractual interest payments (based on the original principal amount) of all
acquired commercial and agricultural mortgage loans. In support of its
indemnification obligations, National Mutual has placed $23.0 million into
escrow in favor of the Company and National Integrity until the mortgage loans
have been repaid in full.

5. REINSURANCE
Consistent with prudent business practices and the general practice of the
insurance industry, the Company reinsures mortality risks under certain of its
insurance products with other insurance companies through reinsurance
agreements. These reinsurance agreements primarily cover single premium
endowment contracts and variable life insurance policies. Through these
reinsurance agreements, substantially all mortality risks associated with SPE
deposits and substantially all risks associated with variable life business have
been reinsured with non-affiliated insurance companies. A contingent liability
exists with respect to insurance ceded which would become a liability should the
reinsurer be unable to meet the obligations assumed under these reinsurance
agreements.
Reinsurance ceded has reduced premiums by $9,644,000 in 1995 and $4,005,000 in
1994, benefits paid or provided by $422,000 in 1995 and $628,000 in 1994 and
policy and contract liabilities by $67,447,000 at December 31, 1995 and
$104,216,000 at December 31, 1994. Reinsurance assumed is not significant to
the Company's premiums, benefits or policy and contract liabilities.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated return with National Integrity. The method of
allocation between the companies is based on separate return calculations. For
1995, SBM Life will file a separate return.
Income before income taxes differs from taxable income principally due to value
of insurance in force, policy acquisition costs, and differences in policy and
contract liabilities and investment income for tax and financial reporting
purposes.
The current year tax provision and prior year tax provision were calculated
including net operating loss carryover benefits of $14,084,000 and $1,757,000,
respectively.
The Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $7.0 million
and $25.4 million at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively,
expiring in the years 2005 to 2007.
Federal income tax regulations allowed certain special deductions for 1983 and
prior years which are accumulated in a memorandum tax account designated as
"policyholders' surplus". Generally, this policyholders' surplus account will
become subject to tax at the then-current rates only if the accumulated balance
exceeds certain maximum limitations or if certain cash distributions are deemed
to be paid out of the account. At December 31, 1995, SBM Life had accumulated
approximately $1,738,000 in its separate policyholders' surplus account. The
Company has no plans to distribute amounts from the policyholders' surplus
account, and no further additions to the account are allowed by the Tax Reform
Act of 1984.
7. SURPLUS
Dividends that ARM may receive from the Company in any year without prior
approval of the Ohio Insurance Commissioner are limited by statute to the
greater of (i) 10% of the Company's statutory capital and surplus as of the
preceding December 31, or (ii) the Company's statutory net income for the
preceding year. The maximum dividend payments that may be made by the Company to
ARM during 1996 are $17,572,000.
21
<PAGE>
Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory Basis) (continued)
7. SURPLUS (CONTINUED)
Under New York insurance laws, National Integrity may pay dividends to Integrity
only out of its earnings and surplus, subject to at least thirty days' prior
notice to the New York Insurance Superintendent and no disapproval from the
Superintendent prior to the date of such dividend, the Superintendent may
disapprove a proposed dividend if the Superintendent finds that the financial
condition of National Integrity does not warrant such distribution.
The NAIC adopted Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") requirements which became effective
December 31, 1993, that attempt to evaluate the adequacy of a life insurance
company's adjusted statutory capital and surplus in relation to investment,
insurance and other business risks. The RBC formula will be used by the states
as an early warning tool to identify possible under capitalized companies for
the purpose of initiating regulatory action and is not designed to be a basis
for ranking the financial strength of insurance companies. In addition, the
formula defines a new minimum capital standard which supplements the previous
system of low fixed minimum capital and surplus requirements.
The RBC requirements provide for four different levels of regulatory attention
depending on the ratio of the company's adjusted capital and surplus to its RBC.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the adjusted capital and surplus of the
Company is substantially in excess of the minimum level of RBC that would
require regulatory response.

10. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
information about all financial instruments, including insurance liabilities
classified as investment contracts, unless specifically exempted. The fair value
of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. Accordingly, the aggregate

Mortgage Loans
Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition of the Company, payments of principal
and interest on mortgage loans are guaranteed by National Mutual. Principal
received in excess of statutory book value is to be returned to National Mutual.
Accordingly, book value is deemed to be fair value.
Life and Annuity Reserves for Investment-type Contracts
The fair value of structured settlements and immediate annuities are based on
discounted cash flow calculations using a market yield rate for assets with
similar durations. The fair value of structured settlements and immediate
annuities represents the fair values of those insurance policies as a whole. The
fair value amounts of the remaining annuities are primarily based on the cash
surrender values of the underlying policies.
Separate Account Reserves
The fair value of separate account reserves for investment-type products equals
the cash surrender values.

product development; functional support services; payroll functions; personnel
functions; administrative support services; and investment functions. During
1995 and 1994, the Company was charged $9,691,000 and $11,261,000, respectively
for these services in accordance with the requirements of applicable insurance
law and regulations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Company and its subsidiaries in 1993,
ARM obtained a Term Loan Facility Agreement in the principal amount of $40.0
million. The loan amount is secured by a pledge of the shares of common stock of
Integrity.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACTOWNERS
------------------------

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
By-Laws of Integrity. Integrity's By-Laws provide, in Article V, as follows:
- ---------------------
Section 5.1 Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and
Incorporators. To the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Ohio,
subject to all applicable requirements thereof:
(a) The Corporation shall indemnify or agree to indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, to any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an
action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact
that he is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as
a Director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, domestic or foreign, non-profit or for profit,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against
expenses, including attorney's fees, judgements, fines, and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of
9
<PAGE>
the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation
to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was
a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, trustee, officer,
employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, non-profit
or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect to any of the following:
(1) Any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is adjudged to
be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty
to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent the court of common
pleas or the court in which such action or suit was brought determines
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in
view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court of
common pleas or such other court shall deem proper;
(2) Any action of suit in which the only liability asserted against a
Director is pursuant to Section 1701.95 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(c) To the extent that a Director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent has
been successful in the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit, or proceeding referred to in division (a) and (b) of this
Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall
be indemnified against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, or
proceeding.
(d) Any indemnification under divisions (a) and (b) of this Article, unless
ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon the determination that indemnification of the
Director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
divisions (a) and (b) of this Article. Such determination shall be
made as follows:
(1) By a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors of the
Corporation who were not and are not parties to or threatened with any
such action, suit, or proceeding;
(2) If the quorum described in division (d)(1) of this Article is not
obtainable or if a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors
so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel other
than an attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney, who
has been retained by or who has performed services for the Corporation
or any person to be indemnified within the past five years;
(3) By the Shareholders; or
(4) By the court of common pleas or the court in which such action,
suit or proceeding was brought.
Any determination made by the disinterested Directors under Article (d)(1)
or by independent legal counsel under Article (d)(2) shall be promptly
communicated to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by
in the right of the Corporation under (b) of this Article, and within ten
days after receipt of such notification, such person shall have the right
to petition the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or
suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.
10
<PAGE>
(e) (1) Expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by a Director in
defending the action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation
as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action,
suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Director in which he agrees to do both of the following:
(i) Repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing
evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that his action or
failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with
deliberate intent to cause injury to the Corporation or undertaken
with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Corporation;
(ii) Reasonably cooperate with the Corporation concerning the
action, suit or proceeding.
(2) Expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by a Director,
officer, employee, or agent in defending any action, suit, or
proceeding referred to in divisions (a) and (b) of this Article, may be
paid by the Corporation as they are incurred, in advance of the final
disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the
Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such
amount, if it ultimately is determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation.
(f) The indemnification authorized by this section shall not be exclusive
of, and shall be in addition to, any other rights granted to those seeking
indemnification under the Articles or the Regulations for any agreement,
vote of Shareholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise, both as to
action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be
a Director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
(g) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar
protection, including but not limited to trust funds, letters of credit, or
self insurance, on behalf of or for any person who is or was a Director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee, or agent of
another corporation, domestic or foreign, non-profit or for profit,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would
have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this section.
Insurance may be purchased from or maintained with a person in which the
Corporation has a financial interest.
By-Laws of ARM Securities. ARM Securities' By-Laws provide, in Sections 4.01
and 4.02, as follows:
Section 4.01 Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify its officers
and directors for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under such
circumstances, and to such extent, as required or permitted by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 302A.521, as amended from time to time, or as required or
permitted by other provisions of law.
Section 4.02 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person in such person's official capacity against any liability
asserted against and incurred by such person in or arising from that capacity,
whether or not the Corporation would otherwise be required to indemnify the
person against the liability.
Insurance. The directors and officers of Integrity and ARM Securities are
insured under a policy issued by National Union. The total annual limit on such
policy is $10 million, and the policy insures the officers and directors against
certain liabilities arising out of their conduct in such capacities.
Agreements. Integrity and ARM Securities, including each director, officer and
controlling person of Integrity and ARM Securities, are entitled to
indemnification against certain liabilities as described in Sections 5.2, 5.3
and 5.5 of the Selling/General Agent Agreement and Section 9 of the Form of
Variable
11
<PAGE>
Contract Principal Underwriter Agreement incorporated as Exhibit 3 to this
Registration Statement. Those sections are incorporated by reference into this
response. In addition, Integrity and ARM Securities, including each director,
officer and controlling person of Integrity and ARM Securities, are entitled to
indemnification against certain liabilities as described in Article VIII of the
Participation Agreement incorporated as Exhibits 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) to this
Registration Statement. That article is incorporated by reference into this
response. Certain officers and directors of Integrity are officers and directors
of ARM Securities (see Item 25 and Item 29 of this Part C).
Undertaking. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS

Securities also serves as an underwriter for Separate Account I of Integrity,
