POLICY SUMMARY
THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT YOUR POLICY. THE
POLICY IS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN THE ATTACHED, COMPLETE PROSPECTUS. PLEASE READ
THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY. "WE," "US," "OUR," AND THE "COMPANY" REFER TO SECURITY
LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY. "YOU" AND "YOUR" REFER TO THE POLICY OWNER.
THE OWNER IS THE INDIVIDUAL, ENTITY, PARTNERSHIP, REPRESENTATIVE OR PARTY WHO
MAY EXERCISE ALL RIGHTS OVER THE POLICY AND RECEIVE THE POLICY BENEFITS DURING
THE INSURED PERSON'S LIFETIME.
STATE VARIATIONS ARE COVERED IN A SPECIAL POLICY FORM FOR USE IN THAT STATE.
THIS PROSPECTUS PROVIDES A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY. YOUR ACTUAL POLICY
AND RIDERS ARE THE CONTROLLING DOCUMENTS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW A COPY OF
THE POLICY AND RIDERS, CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
YOUR POLICY
This policy is available only to groups of ten or more insured people.
Generally, we require a minimum total group first year premium of at least
$250,000. However, depending on underwriting circumstances, we may reduce the
minimum total group first year premium in some cases. We generally require a
minimum target death benefit of $50,000 per policy. We may reduce the minimum
target death benefit if the average target death benefit at policy issuance for
the group is at least $50,000.
Your policy provides life insurance protection on the insured person. The policy
includes the basic policy, applications, and riders or endorsements. As long as
the policy remains in force, we pay a death benefit at the death of the insured
person. While your policy is in force, you may access your policy value by
taking loans or partial withdrawals. You may also surrender your policy for its
surrender value. When the insured person reaches age 100, the policy can be
surrendered or continued under the continuation of coverage option. SEE
CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE, PAGE 28.
We designed this policy primarily for use on a multi-life basis where the
insured people share common employment or a business relationship. The policy
may be owned individually or by a corporation, trust, association or similar
entity. Life insurance is not a short-term investment. You should evaluate your
need for life insurance coverage and this policy's long-term investment
potential and risks before purchasing a policy.
FREE LOOK PERIOD OR RIGHT TO EXAMINE POLICY PERIOD
Within limits as specified by state law, you have the right to examine your
policy and return it for a refund of premiums paid or the account value if you
are not satisfied for any reason. The policy is then void. SEE FREE LOOK PERIOD
OR RIGHT TO EXAMINE POLICY PERIOD, PAGE 35.
YOUR POLICY PREMIUMS
The policy is a flexible premium policy because the amount and frequency of the
premium payments you make may vary within limits. You must make premium
payments:
o for us to issue your policy; and
o sufficient to keep your policy in force.
On your application, you choose how much and how often you want to pay premiums.
Depending on your choices, it may not be enough to keep your policy or riders in
force. The amount of premium you pay affects the length of time your policy
stays in force. SEE PREMIUMS, PAGE 20.
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS
This policy has premium-based charges which are subtracted from your payments.
We add the balance, or the net premium, to your policy based on your investment
instructions. You may allocate the net premiums among one or more variable
investment options and the guaranteed interest division.
We apply the net premium payments to your policy after we:
o receive your initial premium;
o have the information we require;
o approve your policy application; and
o issue your policy.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 6
<PAGE>
You need to allocate your premiums to your investment choices in percentages
that are whole numbers and which total 100%. See Allocation of Net Premiums,
page 21.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
We make the following deductions from each premium payment you make:
1. Tax charges-- In the first policy or segment year, we deduct a charge
of 2.5% of premiums for state and local taxes up to target premium.
Thereafter, we deduct 2.5% of premiums you make. Generally, in the
first policy or segment year, we deduct the charge of 1.5% up to target
premium. Thereafter, we deduct 1.5% of premiums you make to cover our
estimated cost of the federal income tax treatment of deferred
acquisition costs. SEE TAX CHARGES, PAGE 42.
2. Sales charge-- We deduct a percentage of each premium to cover a
portion of our expenses in selling your policy. This charge is 2% of
premiums you pay in the first policy or segment year up to target
premium. Thereafter, this charge is 0.5% of the premiums you make. SEE
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS, PAGE 42.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
The deferred sales charge is based on a percentage of premium and is deducted
from the account value at the beginning of each policy year for seven years
after each year in which the premium payments are made. It applies to the first
ten years of premium payments made. The deduction applies to each segment
separately. SEE DEFERRED SALES CHARGE, PAGE 43, AND CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT
AMOUNTS, PAGE 25.
MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE
We deduct the following charges from your account value at the beginning of each
policy month:
1. Monthly administrative charge -- $12 per month for the first policy
year, then $6 per month for each policy year beyond that.
2. Cost of insurance charge -- Based on the net amount at risk on the life
of the insured person. The amount of this charge differs for:
o the segments of the base death benefit; and
o the adjustable term insurance rider.
3. Mortality and Expense Risk Charge -- we assess a mortality and expense
risk charge of 0.20% per year or 0.01667% per month against the
variable division. This charge compensates us for mortality and expense
risks under the policies.
SEE MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE, PAGE 44.
POLICY TRANSACTION FEES
We deduct policy transaction fees from your account value at the time of the
transaction.
The following are the current transaction fees. SEE POLICY TRANSACTION FEES,
PAGE 45.
1. Partial withdrawal fee -- $25.
2. Transfer fee -- We allow twelve free transfers among investment options
per policy year. For each transfer beyond that, a $10 fee may apply.
3. Illustrations -- You may request one free illustration per policy year.
For each illustration beyond that, a $25 fee may apply.
4. Premium Allocation Change -- You may make five free premium allocation
changes per policy year. For each premium allocation change beyond
that, a $25 fee may apply.
5. Continuation of Coverage -- We will charge a one-time $200
administrative fee when the insured person turns age 100 to activate
continued coverage.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
The separate account purchases shares of the investment portfolios, or series,
at net asset value. This price reflects investment management fees and other
direct expenses that are deducted from the portfolio assets. The following table
describes these investment management fees and other direct expenses of the
investment portfolios. The fees and expenses are shown in both gross amounts and
net amounts shown after any expenses or fees have been voluntarily absorbed by

<PAGE>
/1/ The portfolio expense information was provided to us by the portfolios, and
we have not independently verified such information. These portfolio expenses
are not direct charges against variable investment options assets or reduction
from contract values; rather these portfolio expenses are taken into
consideration in computing each underlying portfolio's net asset value, which is
the share price used to calculate the unit values of the variable investment
options. For a more complete description of the portfolios' costs and expenses,
see the prospectuses for the portfolios.
/2/ A Portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, certain funds have entered into arrangements
with their custodian whereby credits realized, as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce custodian expenses. Including these reductions, the
total portfolio expenses presented in the table would have been 0.66% for Growth
Portfolio and 0.89% for Overseas portfolio.
/3/ FMR agreed to reimburse a portion of Index 500 Portfolio's expenses during
the period. Without this reimbursement, the funds' total portfolio expenses
would have been 0.35%.
/4/ Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI") serves as the overall manager of the GCG
Trust. The fee shown is a management fee. Fees decline as the total assets of
certain combined portfolios increase. DSI provides or procures at its own
expense, the services necessary for the operation of the portfolios. DSI does
not bear the expense of brokerage fees and other transactional expenses for
securities, taxes (if any) paid by a portfolio, interest on borrowing, fees and
expenses of the independent trustees, and extraordinary expenses, such as
litigation or indemnification expenses. The GCG Trust pays DSI for its services
a monthly fee based on the annual rates of the average daily net assets of the
investment portfolios. DSI (and not the GCG Trust) in turn pays each portfolio
manager a monthly fee for managing the assets of the portfolios. More detailed
information about each portfolio's management fees and expenses can be found in
the prospectus of the GCG Trust. You should read this prospectus before
investing.
/5/ DSI is currently reimbursing expenses to maintain total expenses at 0.97%
for the Total Return Portfolio. Without this reimbursement, and based on actual
reimbursements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, total expenses for
this portfolio would have been 0.98%. This agreement to reimburse may end at any
time.
/6/ Certain expenses of the Fund are being voluntarily absorbed by the Funds.
/7/ Certain expenses of the VIF-Equity Income Fund (formerly VIF-Industrial
Income Fund) are being absorbed voluntarily by INVESCO Funds Group, Inc.
pursuant to a commitment to the Fund. After absorption, the VIF-Equity Income
Fund's "Other Expenses" and "Total Portfolio Expenses" were 0.18% and 0.93%
respectively. This commitment can be changed at any time following consultation
with the board of directors.
/8/ Certain expenses of the VIF-Small Company Growth Fund are being absorbed
voluntarily by INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. pursuant to a commitment to the Fund.
After absorption, the VIF-Small Company Growth Fund's "Other Expenses" and
"Total Portfolio Expenses" were 1.12% and 1.87% respectively. This commitment
can be changed at any time following consultation with the board of directors.
/9/ Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust") is divided into
portfolios ("Portfolios"), each of which invests all of its net investable
assets in a corresponding series ("Series") of Advisers Managers Trust. The
figures reported under "Investment Management and Administration Fees" include
the aggregate of the administration fees paid by the Portfolio and the
management fees paid by its corresponding Series. Similarly, the "Other
Expenses" includes all other expenses of the Portfolio and its corresponding
Series. See "Expenses" in the Trust's Prospectus. Expenses may reflect expense
reimbursement. NBMI has undertaken to reimburse certain operating expenses,
including compensation of NBMI and excluding taxes, interest, extraordinary
expense, brokerage commissions and transaction costs, that exceed, in the
aggregate, 1% of the Portfolios' average daily net asset value. These expense
reimbursement policies are subject to termination upon 60 days written notice to
the Portfolios.
/10/ Van Eck Associates Corporation (the "Advisor") absorbed expenses exceeding
1.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Due to this arrangement, the
actual expenses incurred were "Total Portfolio Expenses" of 1.50%. The Adviser
has voluntarily agreed to limit the Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund's total
annual operating expenses to 1.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
/11/ Van Eck Associates Corporation (the "Advisor") waived its management fees
and assumed certain expenses for the period January 1, 1998 to February 28,
1998. The Advisor also assumed expenses exceeding 1.00% of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period March 1,1998 to December 31, 1998. The Fund's
expenses were also reduced by a fee arrangement based on cash balances left on
deposit with the custodian and a directed brokerage arrangement where the fund
directs certain portfolio trades to a broker that, in turn, pays a portion of
the Fund's expenses. Due to this arrangement the actual expenses incurred were
"Investment Management Fees" of 0.00%, "Other Expenses" of 0.89% and "Total
Portfolio Expenses" of 0.89%.

POLICY VALUES
Your account value is the amount you have in the guaranteed interest division,
plus the amount you have in each variable investment option. If you have an
outstanding policy loan, your account value includes the amount in the loan
division. The loan division is part of our general account specifically designed
to hold money used as collateral for loans and loan interest. The general
account contains all of our assets other than those held in the variable
account, or our other separate accounts.
Your account value reflects:
o net premiums;
o deductions for charges;
o the investment performance of the amounts you have in the variable
investment options;
o interest earned on the amount you have in the guaranteed interest
division;
o interest earned on the amount you have in the loan division; and
o partial withdrawals.
We subtract charges and partial withdrawals you take from your account value.
You make a partial withdrawal when you withdraw part of your net account value.
Partial withdrawals may reduce the amount of base death benefit.
Your net account value is equal to the account value minus the amount of your
outstanding policy loans and accrued loan interest, if any. Your surrender value
is the same as your net account value.
YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE IN THE VARIABLE DIVISION
Accumulation units are the way we measure value in the variable division.
Accumulation unit value is the value of a unit of a variable investment option
on the valuation date. Each variable investment option has a different
accumulation unit value. SEE DETERMINING THE VALUE IN THE VARIABLE DIVISION,
PAGE 28.
On each valuation date, we determine the accumulation unit values. The
accumulation unit value for each variable investment option reflects the
investment performance of the underlying investment portfolio during the
valuation period. The valuation period is the time beginning at 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time on a valuation date and ending at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the
next valuation date. Each accumulation unit value reflects asset-based charges
under the policy, and the expenses of the investment portfolios. SEE HOW WE
CALCULATE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES FOR EACH DIVISION, PAGE 29.
The valuation date is each date for which the net asset value of the investment
portfolio shares and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 10
<PAGE>
unit values of the variable investment options are determined. Valuation dates
are each day the New York Stock Exchange and the company's customer service
center are open for business and a corresponding investment portfolio values its
shares, or as required by law.
TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNT VALUE
You may make up to twelve free transfers among the variable investment options
or to the guaranteed interest division per policy year. We may charge $10 for
each transfer over twelve you make in a policy year. This charge does not apply
to automatic rebalancing or dollar cost averaging transfers. There are
restrictions on transfers from the guaranteed interest division. SEE TRANSFERS
OF ACCOUNT VALUE, PAGE 30.
SPECIAL POLICY FEATURES
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Dollar cost averaging is a systematic plan of transferring account values to
selected variable investment options. It is intended to protect your policy's
value from short-term price fluctuations. However, dollar cost averaging does
not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.
Dollar cost averaging is free. SEE DOLLAR COST AVERAGING, PAGE 30.
AUTOMATIC REBALANCING
Automatic rebalancing periodically reallocates your net account value among the
investment options to maintain your specified distribution of account value
among those investment options. Automatic rebalancing is free. See Automatic
Rebalancing, page 31.
LOANS
You may take loans against your policy's net account value. We charge an annual
loan interest rate of 3.25%. We credit an annual interest rate of 3% on amounts
held in the loan division as collateral for your loan. SEE POLICY LOANS, PAGE
32.
Partial Withdrawals
You may withdraw part of your net account value any time after your first policy
year. You may make only one partial withdrawal per policy year. Partial
withdrawals may reduce the death benefit and will reduce your account value. SEE
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS, PAGE 33.
POLICY MODIFICATION, TERMINATION AND CONTINUATION FEATURES
RIGHT TO EXCHANGE POLICY
For 24 months after the policy date you can exchange your policy for a
guaranteed policy, unless state law requires differently. The right to exchange
your policy is free. SEE RIGHT TO EXCHANGE POLICY, PAGE 27.
SURRENDER
You may surrender your policy at any time while the insured person is living.
We calculate your surrender value on the valuation date we receive your request
and policy at our customer service center. All insurance coverage ends on the
date we receive your request. You must return your policy or a lost policy form
to us. SEE SURRENDER, PAGE 35.
LAPSE
In general, insurance coverage continues as long as your policy's net account
value is enough to pay the monthly deductions. SEE LAPSE, PAGE 34.
REINSTATEMENT
You may reinstate your policy and its riders within five years of its lapse if
you still own the policy and the insured person is still living.
You will need to give proof that the insured person continues to be insurable.
You will also need to pay required reinstatement premiums.
We will reinstate any policy loans existing when coverage ended, with accrued
loan interest to the date of the lapse. SEE REINSTATEMENT, PAGE 35.
POLICY MATURITY
If the insured person is still living on the maturity date or the policy
anniversary nearest the date when the insured person reaches age 100 and you do
not
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 11
<PAGE>
choose continuation of coverage, you must surrender your policy and we will pay
the net account value. Your policy then ends. SEE POLICY MATURITY, PAGE 28.
CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE
If the insured person is still living at age 100, you may either surrender your
policy or choose the continuation of coverage feature. If the continuation of
coverage feature becomes effective, we will deduct a one-time administrative fee
of $200 and keep your policy in force. SEE CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE, PAGE 28.
DEATH BENEFITS
At the insured person's death, we pay death proceeds to the beneficiary(ies) if
your policy is still in force. The beneficiary(ies) is(are) the person or people
you name to receive the death proceeds. The death proceeds equal the base death
benefit plus amounts payable by rider, minus the amount of any outstanding
policy loan on your policy and accrued loan interest. Based on the death benefit
option you have chosen, the base death benefit varies.
The base death benefit does not include any adjustable term insurance rider you
may have on your policy. The target death benefit includes any adjustable term
insurance rider you may have on your policy plus your base death benefit. The
total death benefit is at least equal to or greater than your target death
benefit. The death benefit at issue may vary from the stated death benefit plus
adjustable term insurance coverage for some 1035 exchanges.
There is no minimum stated death benefit to issue a policy. Generally, there is
a minimum target death benefit of $50,000 per policy. SEE DEATH BENEFITS, PAGE
22.
You may change your stated death benefit amount while your policy is in force,
subject to certain restrictions. SEE CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNTS, PAGE 25.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies
generally are not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply,
the policy must qualify as a life insurance contract. We believe it is
reasonable to conclude that the policy will qualify as a life insurance
contract. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 47.
Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract, under current
federal income tax law, your account value earnings are generally not subject to
income tax as long as they remain within your policy. However depending on
circumstances, the following events may cause taxable consequences for you:
o partial withdrawals;
o surrender; or
o lapse.
In addition to the events listed above, if your policy is a modified endowment
contract, loans against or secured by the policy may cause income taxation. A
penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment contract
as well. SEE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48.
You should consult a qualified legal or tax adviser before you purchase your
policy.
INFORMATION ABOUT SECURITY LIFE, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT, THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS
AND THE GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION
SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("Security Life") is a stock life
insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1929. Our
headquarters are located at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699. We are
admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New
York. At the close of 1998, the company and its consolidated subsidiaries had
over $174.3 billion of life insurance in force. As of December 31, 1998, our
total assets were over $10.0 billion, and our shareholder's equity was over $926
million.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 12
<PAGE>
We have a complete line of life insurance products, including:
o annuities;
o individual life;
o group life;
o pension products; and
o market life reinsurance.
Security Life is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V. ("ING").
ING is one of the world's three largest diversified financial services
organizations. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It has
consolidated assets over $461.8 billion on a Dutch (modified U.S.) generally
accepted accounting principles basis, as of December 31, 1998.
The principal underwriter and distributor for our policies is ING America
Equities, Inc. ING America Equities is a stock corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Colorado in 1993. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Security Life and is a registered broker-dealer with the SEC and the NASD. ING
America Equities, Inc. is located at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.
YEAR 2000 PREPAREDNESS
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company is aware of the computer problems that
may exist surrounding the Year 2000. Our senior management is committed to
ensuring that information processing and delivery systems will be Year 2000
compliant before December 31, 1999.
Our project team implemented the Year 2000 project plan which included the
analysis, remediation and testing of our in-house source code. We followed our
normal project management methodology, including communication with senior
management on a monthly and as-needed basis and we allocated sufficient funds to
ensure Year 2000 processing capabilities. On June 28, 1999, the analysis,
remediation and system testing phases of the plan were completed. We will
continue to do precautionary testing throughout 1999.
Security Life has developed a contingency plan with established manual
procedures that we believe will allow us to continue to do business in the event
our systems do not perform as expected. However, there is no assurance Security
Life's efforts will be successful, or that interaction with other service
providers will not impact our services.
SECURITY LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT L1
SEPARATE ACCOUNT STRUCTURE
We established Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "separate account") on
November 3, 1993, under Colorado's insurance law. It is a unit investment trust,
registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The SEC does
not supervise our management of the separate account or Security Life.
The variable account is a separate investment account. We keep the separate
account assets separate from our general account and other separate accounts. It
is used to support our variable life insurance policies and for other purposes
allowed by law and regulation. We may offer other variable life insurance
contracts with different benefits and charges that invest in the variable
account. We do not discuss these contracts in this prospectus. The variable
account may invest in other securities not available for the policy described in
this prospectus. The general account contains all of our assets other than those
held in the separate account or other separate accounts.
The company owns all the assets in the separate account. We credit gains to or
charge losses against the separate account without regard to performance of
other investment accounts.
ORDER OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT LIABILITIES
State law provides that we may not charge general account liabilities against
separate account assets equal to its reserves and other liabilities. This means
that in the event we were ever to become insolvent, the separate account assets
will be used first to pay separate account policy claims. Only if assets remain
in the separate account after these claims have been satisfied can these assets
be used to pay other policy owners and our creditors.
The separate account may have liabilities from assets credited to other variable
life policies offered by the separate account. If the assets of the separate
account are greater than required reserves and policy liabilities, we may
transfer the excess to our general account.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 13
<PAGE>
VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The separate account has several divisions. Each variable investment option
invests in shares of a matching investment portfolio. Each investment portfolio
has its own investment objective. This means that the investment performance of
a policy depends on the performance of the investment portfolios you choose.
These investment portfolios are not available directly to individual investors.
They are available only as the underlying investments for variable annuity and
variable life insurance contracts and certain pension accounts.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Each of the investment portfolios is a separate series of an open-end management
investment company. The investment company receives investment advice from a
registered investment adviser who, other than the GCG Trust, is not associated
with us.
Currently, some variable investment options invest in a portfolio of the GCG
Trust. Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI") serves as the manager to each portfolio
of the GCG Trust. The GCG Trust and DSI have retained several portfolio managers
to manage the assets of each portfolio of the GCG Trust.
The investment portfolios sell shares to separate accounts of insurance
companies. These insurance companies may or may not be affiliated with us. This
is known as "shared funding." Investment portfolios may sell shares as the
underlying investment for both variable annuity and variable life insurance
contracts. This process is known as "mixed funding."
The investment portfolios may sell shares to certain qualified pension and
retirement plans that qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code
("IRC"). As a result, a material conflict of interest may arise between
insurance companies, owners of different types of contracts and retirement
plans, or their participants.
If there is a material conflict, we will consider what should be done, including
removing the investment portfolio from the separate account. There are certain
risks with mixed and shared funding, and with selling shares to qualified
pension and retirement plans. See the investment portfolios' prospectuses.
OBJECTIVES OF THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Each investment portfolio has a different investment objective that it tries to
achieve by following its own investment strategy. The objectives and policies of
each investment portfolio affect its return and its risks. With this prospectus,
you must receive the current prospectus for each investment portfolio. We
summarize the investment objectives for each investment portfolio here. You
should read each investment portfolio prospectus.
Certain investment portfolios offered under this policy have investment
objectives and policies similar to other funds managed by the portfolio's
investment adviser. The investment results of a portfolio may be higher or lower
than those of other funds managed by the same adviser. There is no assurance,
and no representation is made, that the investment results of any investment
portfolio will be comparable to those of another fund managed by the same
investment adviser.
Some investment portfolio advisers (or their affiliates) may pay us compensation
for servicing, administration or other expenses. Currently, these advisers
include AIM Advisors, Inc.; Fidelity Management & Research Company; Fred Alger
Management, Inc.; Directed Services, Inc.; INVESCO Funds Group, Inc.; and Van
Eck Associates Corporation. The amount of compensation is usually based on the
aggregate assets of the investment portfolio from contracts that we issue or
administer. Some advisers may pay us more than others.
AIM VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS, INC.
AIM Variable Insurance Funds, Inc. is a registered, open-end, series, management
investment company. A I M Advisors, Inc., ("AIM") serves as each fund's
investment adviser. AIM has acted as an investment adviser since its

INVESCO VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. is a
registered, open-end management investment
company. It was organized as a Maryland
corporation on August 19, 1993. It is currently
made up of ten diversified investment portfolios.
Five of these investment portfolios are described
here.
INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. is the Funds'
investment adviser. As the adviser, it is mostly
responsible for providing the portfolios with
investment management, various administrative
services, and supervising the Fund's daily business
affairs.
INVESCO Capital Management, Inc. sub-advises
the Total Return Fund. "VIF" refers to INVESCO
Variable Investment Fund. INVESCO Distributors,
Inc. ("IDI"), provides distribution services for the
INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc.
INVESCO VIF-Equity Income Fund (Formerly, INVESCO VIF-Industrial Income
Portfolio) -- seeks high current income, with growth of capital as a
secondary objective.
The fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in dividend-paying
common and preferred stocks, although in recent years that percentage has
been somewhat higher. Stocks held by the fund generally are expected to
produce a relatively high level of income and a consistent, stable return.
Although it focuses on the stocks of larger companies with a strong record
of paying dividends, the fund also may invest in companies that have not
paid regular dividends. The fund's equity investments are limited to stocks
that can be traded easily in the United States; it may, however, invest in
foreign securities in the form of American Depository Receipts (ADRs).
The rest of the fund's assets are invested in debt securities, generally
corporate bonds that are rated investment grade or better. The fund also
may invest up to 15% of its assets in lower-grade debt securities commonly
known as "junk bonds", which generally offer higher interest rates, but are
riskier investments than investment grade securities.
INVESCO VIF-High Yield Fund -- seeks to provide a high level of current income.
It invests substantially all of its assets in lower-rated debt securities,
commonly called "junk bonds," and preferred stock, including securities
issued by foreign companies. Although these securities carry with them
higher risks, they generally provide higher yields-- and therefore higher
income--than higher-rated debt securities.
INVESCO VIF-Small Company Growth Fund --seeks investment growth over the long
term.
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities
of companies with market capitalizations of $1 billion or less. INVESCO
uses a bottom-up investment approach to the fund's investment portfolio,
focusing on companies that are in the developing stages of their life
cycles. Using this approach, INVESCO tries to identify companies that it
believes are undervalued in the marketplace, have earnings which may be
expected to grow faster than the U.S. economy in general, and/or offer the
potential for accelerated earnings growth due to rapid growth of sales, new
products, management changes, or structural changes in the economy. The
prices of securities issued by these small companies tend to rise and fall
more rapidly than those of more established companies.
The remainder of the fund's assets can be invested in a wide range of
securities that may or may not be issued by small companies. In addition to
equity securities, the fund can invest in foreign securities and debt
securities, including so-called "junk bonds."
NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust,") is a registered,
open-end management investment company. It was organized as a Delaware business
trust on May 23, 1994. The Trust is made up of separate portfolios
("Portfolios"), each of which invests all of its net investable assets in a
matching series ("Series") of Advisers Managers Trust ("Managers Trust").
Managers Trust is a diversified, open-end management investment company
organized as a New York common law trust on May 24, 1994.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 17
<PAGE>
This master feeder structure is different from that of many other investment
companies which directly purchase and manage their own securities portfolios.
Neuberger Berman Management Incorporated acts as investment manager to Managers
Trust. Neuberger Berman, LLC is the sub-adviser.
The investments for the Portfolio are managed by the same portfolio manager(s)
who manage one or more other mutual funds that have similar names, investment
objectives and investment styles as the Portfolio. You should be aware that the
Portfolio is likely to differ from the other mutual funds in size, cash flow
pattern and tax matters. Accordingly, the holdings and performance of the
Portfolio can be expected to vary from those of the other mutual funds.
Shares of the separate Portfolios of Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust
are sold only through the currently effective prospectus and are not available
to the general public. Shares of the AMT Portfolios may be purchased only by
life insurance companies to be used with their separate accounts which fund
variable annuity and variable life insurance policies.
Neuberger Berman Partners Portfolio -- seeks growth of capital. The Portfolio
invests mainly in common stocks of mid-to large-capitalization companies.
Its investment program seeks securities believed to be undervalued based on
strong fundamentals, including low price to earnings ratio, consistent cash
flow, and the company's track record through all points of the market
cycle.
VAN ECK WORLDWIDE INSURANCE TRUST
Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust is an open-end management investment company
organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts on January 7, 1987. On April 12, 1995, Van Eck Investment Trust
changed its name to Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust. Van Eck Associates
Corporation serves as investment adviser and manager to the funds.
Van Eck Worldwide Bond Fund -- seeks high total return--income plus capital
appreciation--by investing globally, primarily in a variety of debt
securities.
Van Eck Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund --seeks long term capital appreciation
by investing in equity securities in emerging markets around the world.
Van Eck Worldwide Real Estate Fund -- seeks high total return by investing in
equity securities of companies that own significant real estate or
principally do business in real estate.
THE GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION
You may allocate all or a part of the net premiums and transfers of your net
account value into the guaranteed interest division. The guaranteed interest
division is part of our general account which guarantees principal. It pays
interest at a fixed rate that we declare.
The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations.
We have not registered interests in the guaranteed interest division under the
Securities Act of 1933. Also, we have not registered the guaranteed interest
division or the general account as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions). This
means that the general account, the guaranteed interest division and its
interests are generally not subject to regulation under these Acts.
The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures included in this prospectus
relating to the general account and the guaranteed interest division. These
disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal
securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made in this
prospectus.
The amount you have in the guaranteed interest division is the sum of net
premiums you allocate to that division, plus transfers you made to the
guaranteed interest division, plus interest earned.
Amounts you transfer out of or withdraw from the guaranteed interest division
reduce this amount. It is also reduced by deductions for charges from your
account value allocated to the guaranteed interest division.
We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the guaranteed
interest division. These
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 18
<PAGE>
interest rates are never less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate of 3%
and will be in effect for periods of at least twelve months. Interest compounds
daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate. We credit
interest to the guaranteed interest division on a daily basis. We pay interest
regardless of the actual investment performance of our account. We bear all of
the investment risk for the guaranteed interest division.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS
You may invest in a total of eighteen investment options over the lifetime of
your policy. Investment options include the variable and the guaranteed interest
divisions, but not the loan division.
As an example, if you have had funds in seventeen variable investment options
and the guaranteed interest division (or eighteen variable investment options),
these are the only investment options to which you may later add or transfer
funds. You may want to use fewer investment options in the early years of your
policy, so that you can invest in other investment options in the future. If you
invest in eighteen variable investment options, you will not be able to invest
in the guaranteed interest division.
DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CORPORATE BENEFITS VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE POLICY
This prospectus describes our standard Corporate Benefits variable universal
life insurance policy. There may be differences in the policy because of state
requirements where we issue your policy. We will describe any such differences
in your policy.
The illustrations beginning on page 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63 are to show how the
policies work.
APPLYING FOR A POLICY
You purchase this variable universal life policy by submitting an application to
us. On the policy date, the insured person must be no less than 15 years of age
and no older than age 85. The insured person is the person on whose life we
issue a policy and upon whose death we pay death proceeds. Age is the insured
person's age on the birthday nearest the policy date plus the number of
completed policy years since the policy date.
We may back-date the policy up to six months to allow the insured person to give
proof of a younger age for the purposes of your policy.
This Corporate Benefits variable universal life policy is available to owners of
certain other variable universal life policies issued by the company within a
certain time frame. Policyowners may exchange into this Corporate Benefits
variable universal life policy with a waiver or reduction of certain fees on
both the exchanged policy and this policy. See your agent or registered
representative for more information or assistance.
POLICY ISSUANCE
Before we issue a policy or apply your net premium to your policy, we require
satisfactory evidence of insurability of the insured person and payment of your
initial premium. This evidence may include completion of all underwriting and
issue requirements.
The investment date is the first date we apply your net premium payments to your
policy. Your initial premium is the premium we must receive before coverage can
begin. The initial premium is the first premium we receive and apply to your
policy. It must be equal to at least the sum of the scheduled premiums which are
due from your policy date through your investment date.
This policy is available only to groups of ten or more insured people.
Generally, we require a minimum total group first year premium of at least
$250,000. However depending on underwriting circumstances, we may reduce the
minimum total group first year premium in some cases. We generally require a
minimum target death benefit of $50,000 per policy. We may reduce the minimum
target death benefit if the average target death benefit at policy issuance for
the group or sponsored arrangement is at least $50,000. Our underwriting and
reinsurance procedures in effect at the time you apply limit the maximum stated
and target death benefit.

The policy date as shown on your policy schedule determines:
o monthly processing dates;
o policy months;
o policy years; and
o policy anniversaries.
It is not affected by the date you receive the policy. The policy date may be
different from the date we receive your first premium payment. If the policy
date is earlier, we charge monthly deductions from the policy date. The policy
date is:
o the date you designate on your application, subject to our approval; or
o the back-date of the policy to save age, if we permit this for your
policy.
If there is no designated date or back-date, the policy date is the date all
underwriting and administrative requirements have been met if we have received
your initial premium before we issue your policy.
DEFINITION OF LIFE INSURANCE
The federal income tax definition of life insurance is the cash value
accumulation test. SEE TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY, PAGE 47.
TEMPORARY INSURANCE
If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance in an amount equal to
the face amount of insurance for which you applied. The maximum amount of
temporary insurance for binding limited life insurance coverage is $3 million,
which includes any in force coverage with us. This temporary insurance is in
force as long as you meet all requirements.
Coverage begins when:
1. you have completed and signed our binding limited life insurance
coverage form;
2. we receive and accept a premium payment of at least your scheduled
premium (selected on your application); and
3. part I of the application is completed.
Binding limited life insurance coverage ends on the earliest of:
o the date we return your premiums;
o five days after we mail notice of termination to the address on your
application;
o the date your policy coverage starts;
o the date we refuse to issue you a policy based on your application; or
o 90 days after you sign our binding limited life insurance coverage
form.
There is no death benefit under the temporary insurance agreement if:
o there is a material misrepresentation in your answers on the binding
limited life insurance coverage form;
o there is a material misrepresentation in statements on your
application;
o the person or persons intended to be the insured people die by suicide
or self- inflicted injury; or
o the bank does not honor your premium check.
PREMIUMS
You may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits.
SCHEDULED PREMIUMS
Your premiums are flexible. You may select your scheduled (planned) premium
(within our limits) when you apply for your policy. The scheduled premium, shown
in your policy and schedule, is the amount you choose to pay over a stated time
period. THIS AMOUNT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOUR POLICY IN FORCE. You
may receive premium reminder notices for the scheduled premium on a monthly,
quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. You are not required to pay the
scheduled premium.
Alternatively, you may choose to pay your premium by electronic funds transfer
each month. This option is not available for your initial premium. The financial
institution that makes your electronic funds transfer may charge for this
service.
You can change the amount of your scheduled premium within our minimum and
maximum limits at any time. If you fail to pay your scheduled premium or if you
change the amount of your scheduled premium, your policy performance will be
affected.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>
UNSCHEDULED PREMIUM PAYMENTS
Generally speaking, you may make unscheduled premium payments at any time,
however:
1. We may limit the amount of your unscheduled premium payments that would
result in an increase in the base death benefit amount required by the
federal income tax law definition of life insurance. We may require
satisfactory evidence that the insured person is insurable at the time
that you make the unscheduled premium payment if the death benefit is
increased due to your unscheduled premium payments.
2. We may require proof that the insured person is insurable if your
unscheduled premium payment will cause the net amount at risk to
increase; and
3. We will return premium payments which are greater than the "seven-pay"
limit for your policy if your payment would cause your policy to become
a modified endowment contract, unless you send us notice acknowledging
the new modified endowment contract status for your policy.
SEE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48 AND CHANGES TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW,
PAGE 49.
If you have an outstanding policy loan and you make an unscheduled payment, we
will consider this payment a loan repayment, unless you tell us otherwise. If
your payment is a loan repayment, we do not take out tax or sales charges.
TARGET PREMIUM
Target premiums are not based on the scheduled premium. Target premiums are
actuarially determined based on the age, sex and premium class of the insured
person. The target premium for your policy and any segments added since the
policy date are listed in the schedule we will provide to you. SEE PREMIUMS,
PAGE 20.
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS
The net premium is the balance remaining after we take tax and sales charges
(excluding the deferred sales charge) from your premium payment. We add the net
premium to your account value according to your instructions.
We apply the initial net premium to your policy after:
a) we receive the amount of premium required for your insurance coverage
to begin;
b) all issue requirements have been met and received by our customer
service center;
c) we approve your policy application; and d) your policy is issued.
All amounts you designated for the guaranteed interest division will be
allocated to that division. If your state requires return of your premium during
the free look period we invest amounts you have designated for the variable
investment option into the Liquid Asset Money Market Portfolio until 15 days
after we issue your policy (deemed delivery time, plus a typical free look
period which varies by state). If your state provides for return of account
value during the free look period we invest amounts you designated for the
variable investment options directly into your selected variable investment
options. SEE FREE LOOK PERIOD OR RIGHT TO EXAMINE POLICY PERIOD, PAGE 35.
We allocate premium payments received after we apply your initial net premium
payment to your policy on the valuation date of receipt. We always use your most
recent premium allocation instructions. Your instructions must specify
percentages that are whole numbers totaling 100%.
You may invest in a maximum of eighteen investment options over the lifetime of
your policy. SEE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF INVESTMENT DIVISIONS, PAGE 19.
You may make five free premium allocation changes per year. After the five free
premium allocation changes, we may charge you $25 for each additional allocation
change per policy year. The $25 fee is withdrawn from each investment division
pro rata to the amount in each division.
PREMIUM PAYMENTS AFFECT YOUR COVERAGE
Your coverage lasts only as long as your net account value is enough to pay the
monthly and annual charges and your account value is more than your
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 21
<PAGE>
outstanding policy loan plus accrued loan interest. If these conditions are no
longer met, your policy will enter the 61-day grace period and you must make a
premium payment to avoid lapse. SEE LAPSE, PAGE 34, AND GRACE PERIOD, PAGE 34.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
There are special federal income tax rules for distributions from certain life
insurance policies known as "modified endowment contracts." These rules apply to
distributions such as policy loans, surrenders, and partial withdrawals.
Whether or not these rules apply depends upon whether or not the premiums you
paid are greater than the "seven-pay" limit. SEE MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS,
PAGE 48.
If we find that your scheduled premium causes your policy to be a modified
endowment contract on your policy date, we will require you to acknowledge that
you know the policy is a modified endowment contract. We will issue your policy
based on the scheduled premium you selected. If you do not want your policy to
be issued as a modified endowment contract, you may reduce your scheduled
premium to a level which does not cause your policy to be a modified endowment
contract. We will then issue your policy based on the revised scheduled premium.
DEATH BENEFITS
You can decide the amount of insurance you need, now and in the future. You can
combine the long-term advantages of permanent life insurance base coverage with
the flexibility and short-term advantages of term life insurance. Both permanent
and term life insurance are available under your one policy.
When we issue your policy, we base the initial insurance coverage on the
instructions in your application. The initial death benefit is the stated death
benefit amount. You can add an adjustable term insurance rider for additional
insurance coverage.
Death benefits are valued as of the date of death of the insured person. The
stated death benefit is the permanent element of your policy. The adjustable
term insurance rider is the term insurance element of your policy.
The adjustable term insurance rider acts as a bridge. It provides term insurance
coverage which automatically adjusts to fill the gap between your total death
benefit and your base death benefit depending on which death benefit option you
choose. Generally, your target death benefit may be no less than $50,000 to
issue your policy.
It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage
under the adjustable term insurance rider. Both the cost of insurance under the
adjustable term insurance rider and the cost of insurance for the base death
benefit are deducted monthly from your account value and generally increase with
the age of the insured person. Use of the adjustable term insurance rider may
reduce sales compensation. SEE ADJUSTABLE TERM INSURANCE RIDER, PAGE 26.

BASE DEATH BENEFIT
Your base death benefit can be different from your stated death benefit as a
result of:
o your choice of death benefit option;
o a change in your death benefit option;
o increases to satisfy the federal income tax law definition of life
insurance;
o partial withdrawals;
o increases or decreases in the stated death benefit; or
o a transaction which causes the base death benefit to change.
As long as your policy is in force, we will pay the death proceeds to your
beneficiary when the insured person dies. The beneficiary(ies) is(are) the
person (people) you name to receive the death proceeds from your policy. The
death proceeds are:
o your base death benefit; plus
o any rider benefits; minus
o your outstanding policy loan with accrued loan interest; minus
o outstanding policy charges due before the insured person's date of
death.
There could be outstanding policy charges if the insured dies while your policy
is in the grace period.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
You have a choice of three death benefit options: option 1, option 2 or option 3
(described below). You may choose death benefit option 3 only prior to the issue
of your policy. Your choice may result in your having a base death benefit which
is greater than your stated death benefit. You may change your death benefit
option after the policy date and before the continuation of coverage feature
begins. SEE CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS, PAGE 25 AND SEE CONTINUATION OF
COVERAGE, PAGE 28.
Under death benefit option 1, your base death benefit is the greater of:
1. your stated death benefit on the date of the insured person's death; or
2. your account value on the date of the insured person's death multiplied
by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors
shown in Appendix A.
Under death benefit option 2, your base death benefit is the greater of:
1. your stated death benefit plus your account value on the date of the
insured person's death; or
2. your account value on the date of the insured person's death multiplied
by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors
shown in Appendix A.
Under option 1 positive investment performance is generally reflected in a
reduced net amount at risk. This lowers your policy's total cost of insurance
charges. Option 1 offers insurance coverage that is a set amount with
potentially lower cost of insurance charges over time. Under option 2,
investment performance is reflected in your insurance coverage.
Under death benefit option 3, the base death benefit is the greater of:
1. your stated death benefit plus the sum of all premiums you have paid
minus partial withdrawals you have taken under your policy; or
2. your account value on the date of the insured person's death multiplied
by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors
shown in Appendix A.
Therefore, the base death benefit generally will increase as you pay premiums,
and decrease as you take partial withdrawals. In no event will your base death
benefit be less than your stated death benefit.
Federal income tax law requires that your death benefit be at least as much as
your account value multiplied by a factor defined by law. This factor is based
on:
o the insured person's age; and
o the insured person's gender.
We will adjust your policy to continue to qualify as life insurance under the
federal income tax laws in existence at the time the policy was issued.
If the insured person is 100 years of age or older and the continuation of
coverage feature is in effect, only death benefit option 1 is available.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
You may request a change in your death benefit option after the policy date and
before the continuation of coverage feature. A death benefit option change
applies to your entire stated or base death benefit. You may change from death
benefit option 1 to option 2, or from option 2 to option 1. You may also change
from death benefit option 3 to option 1. You may not change from death benefit
option 1 to option 3, or option 2 to option 3, or option 3 to option 2. You may
choose death benefit option 3 only prior to the issue of your policy.
Your death benefit option change is effective on your next monthly processing
date after we accept and approve your requested change, so long as at least five
days remain before your monthly processing date. If fewer than five days remain
before your monthly processing date, your death benefit option change is
effective on your next monthly processing date.
After we approve your request, we send a new policy schedule page to you. You
should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our
customer service center so that we can note the change in your schedule.
For you to change from death benefit option 1 to option 2, you must provide to
us proof that the insured person is insurable under our normal rules of
underwriting for your policy class.
We may not allow a change to your death benefit option if it reduces the target
death benefit below the minimum we require to issue your policy.
On the effective date of your option change, your stated death benefit is
changed as follows:
Change Change Stated Death Benefit
From To Following Change:
---- -- -----------------
Option 1 Option 2 your stated death benefit
before the change minus
your account value as of the
effective date of the change.
Option 2 Option 1 your stated death benefit
before the change plus your
account value as of the
effective date of the change.
Option 3 Option 1 your stated death benefit
before the change plus (a)
the sum of the premiums
you have paid, minus (b)
partial withdrawals you
have taken as of the
effective date of the change.
We increase or decrease your stated death benefit to keep the net amount at risk
the same on the date of your death benefit option change. Additionally, there is
no change to the amount of term insurance if you have an adjustable term
insurance rider. SEE COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE, PAGE 44.
If you change your death benefit option, we adjust the stated death benefit for
each of your segments by allocating your account value to each benefit segment.
For example, if you change from death benefit option 1 to option 2, your stated
death benefit is decreased by the amount of your account value allocation to
that segment. If you change from death benefit option 2 to option 1, your stated
death benefit is increased by the amount allocated to that segment. We do not
adjust the target premium when you change your death benefit option.
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNTS
You may increase the target or stated death benefit while your policy is in
force and before the policy anniversary when the insured person turns age 75.
You may request a decrease in the stated death benefit only after your first
policy anniversary.
Contact our customer service center to request an increase or decrease in death
benefit. The request is effective as of the next monthly processing date after
we receive your request and approve it. On the monthly processing date, we
deduct the monthly deductions from your account value. Any requested change in
your coverage must be for at least $1,000.
After we approve your request, we will send you a new schedule page.
Keep the new schedule with your policy. We may ask you to send your policy to us
so that we can note the change in your schedule.
We may not approve a requested change if it will disqualify your policy as life
insurance under federal income tax law. If we disapprove a change for any
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reason, we provide you with a notice of our decision. SEE TAX CONSIDERATIONS,
PAGE 46.
If you decrease your death benefit, you may not decrease your target death
benefit below the minimum we require to issue your policy.
There may be tax consequences as a result of a decrease in your death benefit.
SEE TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY, PAGE 47 AND MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48.
Requested reductions in the death benefit will first be applied to decrease the
target death benefit. We decrease your stated death benefit only after your
adjustable term insurance rider coverage is reduced to zero. If you have more
than one segment, we divide subsequent decreases in stated death benefit among
your benefit segments pro rata unless state law requires differently.
You must provide satisfactory evidence that the insured person is still
insurable in order to increase your death benefit.
Unless you tell us differently, we assume any request you make for an increase
in your target death benefit is also a request for an increase to the stated
death benefit. Thus, the amount of your adjustable term insurance rider will not
change. You may change the target death benefit once in a policy year.
The initial death benefit segment, or first segment, is the stated death benefit
on the effective date of the policy. An increase in the stated death benefit
(other than one caused by an option change) will cause a new segment to be
created. The segment year begins on the segment effective date and ends one year
later. The following may apply to each new segment:
o a new sales charge;
o a new deferred sales charge;
o new cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;
o a new incontestability period;
o a new suicide exclusion period; and
o a new target premium.
A requested increase in your stated death benefit creates a new segment. Once we
create a new segment, it is permanent unless state law requires differently. If
an option change causes the stated death benefit to increase, no new segment is
created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is(are) changed. If it
causes the stated death benefit to decrease, each segment is decreased.
To determine the applicable sales charge and deferred sales charge, premiums you
pay after an increase are applied to your policy segments in the same proportion
as the target premiums for each segment bears to the sum of the target premium
for all segments. For each coverage segment, your schedule shows your target
premiums.
We allocate the net amount at risk among segments in the same proportion that
each segment bears to the total stated death benefit.
ADJUSTABLE TERM INSURANCE RIDER
You may increase your death proceeds by adding an adjustable term insurance
rider on the insured person's life. A rider changes benefits under your policy.
As the name suggests, the adjustable term insurance rider adjusts over time.
You specify a target death benefit when you apply for this rider. The target
death benefit can be level or can be scheduled to change at the beginning of any
policy year.
The death benefit for the adjustable term insurance rider is the difference
between your total death benefit and your base death benefit. The death benefit
automatically adjusts daily as your base death benefit changes. Total death
benefit depends on which death benefit option is in effect:
OPTION 1: If option 1 is in effect, the total death benefit is the
greater of:
a. the target death benefit; or
b. the account value multiplied by the appropriate factor
from the death benefit corridor factors in the policy.
OPTION 2: If option 2 is in effect, the total death benefit is the
greater of:
a. the target death benefit plus the account value; or
b. the account value multiplied by the appropriate factor
from the death benefit corridor factors in the policy.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 26
<PAGE>
OPTION 3: If option 3 is in effect, the total death benefit is the
greater of:
a. the target death benefit plus the sum of the premiums you
have paid minus partial withdrawals you have taken; or
b. the account value multiplied by the appropriate factor
from the death benefit corridor factors in the policy.
For example, under option 1, assume your base death benefit increases as a
result of an increase in your account value. The adjustable term insurance rider
adjusts to provide death proceeds equal to your total death benefit in each
year:
Adjustable Term
Base Death Total Death Insurance Rider
Benefit Benefit Amount
------- ------- ------
$201,500 $250,000 $48,500
202,500 250,000 47,500
202,250 250,000 47,750
It is possible that the amount of your adjustable term insurance may be zero if
your base death benefit increases enough. Using the same example, if the base
death benefit under your policy grew to $250,000 or more, the adjustable term
insurance would be zero.
The adjustable term insurance can never be less than zero. Even when the
adjustable term insurance is reduced to zero, your rider remains in effect until
you remove it from your policy. Therefore, if later the base death benefit is
reduced below your target death benefit, the adjustable term insurance rider
amount reappears to maintain the total death benefit.
You may change the target death benefit schedule after it is issued, based on
our rules. SEE CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNTS, PAGE 25.
We may deny any future, scheduled increases to your target death benefit if you
cancel a scheduled change, or if you ask for an unscheduled decrease in your
target death benefit.
Partial withdrawals, changes from death benefit option 1 to option 2 and base
decreases may reduce the amount of your target death benefit. SEE PARTIAL
WITHDRAWALS, PAGE 33, AND CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS, PAGE 25.
There is no defined premium for a given amount of adjustable term insurance
coverage. Instead, we deduct a monthly cost of insurance charge from your
account value. The cost of insurance for this rider is calculated as the monthly
cost of insurance rate for the rider coverage multiplied by the adjustable term
death benefit in effect that month. The cost of insurance rates will be
determined by us from time to time. They will be based on the issue age, gender,
and premium class of the person insured, as well as the length of time since
your policy date. The monthly guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for
this rider will be in the policy. SEE COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE, PAGE 44.
The only charge for this coverage is the cost of insurance charge. The total
charge that you pay may be less if you have coverage under an adjustable term
insurance rider instead of the base death benefit. If the target death benefit
is increased by you after the rider is issued, we use the same cost of insurance
rate schedule for the entire coverage for this rider. These rates are based on
the original premium class even though satisfactory new evidence of insurability
is given to us for the increased schedule.
Not all policy features apply to the adjustable term insurance rider. Under this
rider, there is no surrender value and policy loans are not available. The
adjustable term insurance rider does not contribute to the policy account value
nor to investment performance under your policy. The adjustable term insurance
rider provides benefits only at the insured person's death.
SPECIAL FEATURES
RIGHT TO EXCHANGE POLICY
During the first 24 months after your policy date, you have the right to
exchange your policy for a guaranteed policy, unless state law requires
differently. To do this, we transfer the amount you have in the variable
division to the guaranteed interest division. We allocate all of your future net
premiums to the guaranteed interest division. We do not allow any future
payments or transfers to the variable division after you exercise this right.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 27
<PAGE>
We will not charge you for this exchange. SEE THE GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION,
PAGE 18.
POLICY MATURITY
If the insured person reaches age 100 and you do not want the continuation of
coverage feature, you may surrender the policy for the net account value. Your
policy then ends. Some part of this payment may be taxable. You should consult
your tax adviser.
CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE
The continuation of coverage feature allows your insurance coverage to continue
beyond when the insured person reaches age 100. If you allow the continuation of
coverage feature to become effective, we:
o transfer your net account value (excluding the amount in the loan
division) into the guaranteed interest division;
o charge a one-time $200 administrative fee to your policy to cover
future expenses;
o terminate the adjustable term insurance rider and the target death
benefit becomes the stated death benefit;
o convert death benefit option 2 or option 3 to death benefit option 1,
if applicable; and
o terminate investment features.
The adjustable term insurance rider then terminates. If you have no adjustable
term insurance rider coverage, your stated death benefit is unchanged. You may
make no further premium payments.
Your insurance coverage continues until the insured person's death, unless the
policy lapses or is surrendered. However, we deduct no further cost of insurance
charges and your monthly deductions cease. SEE CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE, PAGE 45.
Your net account value may not be transferred into the variable division after
the insured person reaches age 100.
During the continuation of coverage period, you may take policy loans or partial
withdrawals from your policy.
If you have outstanding policy loans, interest continues to accrue. If you fail
to make sufficient loan or loan interest payments, it is possible that the loan
plus accrued interest may become greater than your account value and cause your
policy to lapse. To avoid this, you may repay loans and make loan interest
payments during the continuation of coverage period. However, we will not accept
additional premium payments.
If you wish to stop coverage after the continuation of coverage feature begins,
you may surrender your policy and receive the net account value. All other
consequences of surrender apply. SEE SURRENDER, PAGE 35.
The continuation of coverage feature may not be available in all states. If a
state has approved this feature, it is automatic and you do not need to take any
action to activate it.
The tax consequences of coverage continuing beyond when the insured person
reaches age 100 are uncertain. You should consult a tax adviser as to those
consequences.
POLICY VALUES
ACCOUNT VALUE
Your account value is the total amount you have in the guaranteed interest
division, the variable division, and the loan division. Your account value
reflects:
o net premiums;
o deductions for charges;
o partial withdrawals;
o investment performance of the variable investment options;
o interest earned on the amount you have in the guaranteed interest
division; and
o interest earned on the amount you have in the loan division.
NET ACCOUNT VALUE
Your policy's net account value is your account value minus the amount of your
outstanding policy loans and accrued loan interest, if any. Your surrender value
is the same as your net account value.
DETERMINING THE VALUE IN THE VARIABLE DIVISION
The amounts included in the variable division are measured by accumulation units
and accumulation unit values.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 28
<PAGE>
The value of a variable investment option is the accumulation unit value for
that option times the number of accumulation units you own in that option. Each
variable investment option has a different accumulation unit value.
You purchase accumulation units whenever you allocate premium or make transfers
to a variable investment option. This includes transfers from the loan division.
The valuation date is each date for which the net asset value of the investment
portfolio shares and unit values of the variable investment options are
determined. Valuation dates are each day the New York Stock Exchange and the
company's customer service center are open for business and a corresponding
investment portfolio values its shares, or as required by law.
We redeem accumulation units:
o when you take a partial withdrawal;
o when amounts are transferred from a variable investment option
(including transfers to the loan division);
o for the monthly deductions from your account value;
o for policy transaction charges;
o on surrender; and
o to pay the death benefit after the insured person dies.
We calculate the number of variable investment option accumulation units
purchased or redeemed by:
1. dividing the dollar amount of your transaction by:
2. the accumulation unit value calculated at the close of business on the
valuation date of the transaction.
The accumulation unit value is the value determined as of each valuation date.
The accumulation unit value of each variable investment option varies with the
investment performance of the underlying portfolio. It reflects:
o investment income;
o realized and unrealized capital gains and losses; and
o investment portfolio expenses.
SEE HOW WE CALCULATE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES, PAGE 29.
The date of a transaction is the date we receive your premium or transaction
request at our customer service center, so long as the date of receipt is a
valuation date. Each valuation date ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We use the
accumulation unit value which is next calculated after we receive your premium
or transaction request and we use the number of accumulation units attributable
to your policy on the date of receipt.
We take monthly deductions from your account value as of the monthly processing
date. If your monthly processing date is not a valuation date, the monthly
deduction is processed on the next valuation date.
The value of amounts allocated to the variable investment option goes up or down
depending on investment performance.
FOR AMOUNTS IN THE VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS, THERE IS NO GUARANTEED MINIMUM
CASH VALUE.
HOW WE CALCULATE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
We determine accumulation unit values on each valuation date.
We generally set the accumulation unit value for a variable investment option at
$10 when the investment option is first opened. After that, the accumulation
unit value on any valuation date is:
1. the accumulation unit value for the preceding valuation date multiplied
by
2. the accumulation experience factor for that variable investment option
for the valuation period.
Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a valuation date and
ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next valuation date.
We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each variable investment
option every valuation date as follows:
1. We take the share value of the underlying portfolio shares in the
variable investment option as reported to us by the investment
portfolio managers as of the close of business on that valuation date.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 29
<PAGE>
2. We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared per share and
reinvested by the investment portfolio on the date that the share value
is affected. If applicable, we subtract a charge for taxes from this
amount.
3. We divide the remaining amount by the value of the shares in the
underlying investment portfolio for the variable investment option at
the close of business on the previous valuation date.
TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNT VALUE
You may make up to twelve free transfers among the variable investment options,
or the guaranteed interest division, in each policy year. You may not make
transfers until after your free look period ends if your state requires a refund
of premium during the free look period.
We do not limit your number of transfers, but we may charge a $10 fee for each
transfer that you make after the first twelve in each policy year. We do not
include transfers for automatic rebalancing or dollar cost averaging toward your
twelve free transfers. You may not make transfers during the continuation of
coverage period.
You may make transfer requests in writing, or by telephone if you have telephone
privileges, to our customer service center. Your transfer takes effect on the
valuation date we receive your request. The minimum amount you may transfer is
$100. This minimum does not need to come from one division or be transferred to
one division as long as the total amount you transfer is at least $100. However,
if the amount remaining in a variable investment option is less than $100 when
you make a transfer request, we transfer the entire amount out of that variable
investment option.
EXCESSIVE TRADING
Excessive trading activity can disrupt investment portfolio management
strategies and increase portfolio expenses by causing:
o increased trading and transaction costs;
o disruption of planned investment strategies;
o forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
o lost opportunity costs; and
o the investment portfolios to have large asset swings that decrease
their ability to provide maximum investment return to all policyowners.
In response to excessive trading, we may place restrictions or refuse transfers
made by third-party agents acting on behalf of owners such as a market timing
service. We will refuse or place restrictions on transfers when we determine, in
our sole discretion, that transfers are harmful to the investment portfolios, or
to policyowners as a whole.
GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION TRANSFERS
Transfers into the guaranteed interest division are not restricted.
You may transfer from the guaranteed interest division only in the first 30 days
of each policy year. Transfer requests received within 30 days before your
policy anniversary are deemed to occur on your policy anniversary. A request
received by us within 30 days after your policy anniversary is effective as of
the valuation date we receive it. Transfer requests made at any other time will
not be processed.
Transfers from the guaranteed interest division are limited to the largest of:
o 25% of your guaranteed interest division balance at the time of your
first transfer or withdrawal out of it in that policy year;
o the sum of the amounts you have transferred and withdrawn from the
guaranteed interest division in the prior policy year; or
o $100.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
If your policy has at least $10,000 invested in either the Liquid Asset Money
Market Portfolio, or the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, you can elect dollar
cost averaging. The main goal of dollar cost averaging is to protect your policy
values from short-
term price changes.
Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a
loss in a declining market.
This systematic plan of transferring account values is intended to reduce the
risk of investing too much
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 30
<PAGE>
when the price of an investment portfolio's shares is high. It also reduces the
risk of investing too little when the price of an investment portfolio's shares
is low. Since you transfer the same dollar amount to other investment options
each period, you purchase more units in an investment option if the unit value
is low, and you purchase fewer units if the unit value is high.
You may add dollar cost averaging to your policy at any time. The first dollar
cost averaging date must be at least five days after we receive your dollar cost
averaging request. Dollar cost averaging cannot begin until after the end of
your free look period if your state requires refund of all premiums paid during
the free look period.
With dollar cost averaging, you designate either a dollar amount, or a
percentage of your account value, for automatic transfer from either the
investment option invested in either the Liquid Asset Money Market Portfolio or
the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio for automatic transfer. Each period, we
automatically transfer the amount you select from your chosen source investment
option to one or more other variable investment options. You may not make
transfers to or from the guaranteed interest division or the loan division under
dollar cost averaging.
The minimum percentage you may transfer to any one investment option is 1% of
the total amount you transfer to all investment options you select. You must
transfer at least $100 for each dollar cost averaging transfer.
Dollar cost averaging may occur on the same day of the month either monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Unless you tell us otherwise, dollar cost
averaging automatically takes place monthly, on the monthly processing date.
We do not count dollar cost averaging transfers toward your twelve free
transfers per policy year. There is no charge for this feature.
You may have both dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing at the same
time. The dollar cost averaging division from which your transfer will be taken
cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program.
CHANGING DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
You may change your dollar cost averaging program one time per policy year. If
you have telephone privileges, you may make changes to the dollar cost averaging
program by telephoning our customer service center. See Telephone Privileges,
page 38.
TERMINATING DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
You may cancel dollar cost averaging by sending satisfactory notice to our
customer service center. We must receive it at least five days before the next
dollar cost averaging date.
Dollar cost averaging will terminate if:
1. you specify a termination date; or
2. your balance remaining in the investment option from which your dollar
cost averaging transfers are taken reaches a dollar amount you set; or
3. on any dollar cost averaging date, the amount in the investment option
from which you want to make a transfer is equal to or less than the
amount to be transferred. We will transfer the remaining amount and
dollar cost averaging ends.
AUTOMATIC REBALANCING
Automatic rebalancing provides you with a method for maintaining a consistent
approach to investing account values over time, and simplifying the process of
asset allocation by dividing amounts among the investment options you have
chosen.
Transfers made for automatic rebalancing do not count toward your twelve free
transfers per policy year. There is no charge for this feature.
If you choose this feature, on each rebalancing date we transfer amounts among
the investment options to match your pre-set automatic rebalancing allocation
percentages. After the transfers, the ratio of your account value in each
division to your total account value for all investment options included in
automatic rebalancing matches the automatic rebalancing allocation percentage
for that investment option. This action rebalances the amounts in the investment
options that do not match your set allocation. This happens if an investment
option
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 31
<PAGE>
outperforms other investment options for that time period.
You may choose the automatic rebalancing feature on your application or later by
completing our customer service form. Automatic rebalancing may occur on the
same day of the month either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. If
you do not specify, automatic rebalancing will occur on the last valuation date
of a calendar quarter.
If you choose automatic rebalancing on your policy application, the first
transfer occurs on the date you select (after your free look period if your
state requires return of all premiums paid during the free look period). If you
elect this feature after your policy date, we process the first transaction on
the date you have requested. If you requested no date, processing is on the last
valuation date of the calendar quarter we receive your notice at our customer
service center.
You may have both automatic rebalancing and dollar cost averaging at the same
time. The investment option from which your dollar cost averaging transfers are
taken cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing allocation program. You
may not include the loan division in your automatic rebalancing allocations.
CHANGING AUTOMATIC REBALANCING
You may change your allocation percentages for automatic rebalancing at any
time. Your allocation change is effective on the valuation date that we receive
it at our customer service center. If you reduce the amount allocated to the
guaranteed interest division, it is considered a transfer from that division.
You must meet the requirements for the maximum transfer amount and time
limitations on transfers from the guaranteed interest division. See Transfers of
Account Value, page 30.
TERMINATING AUTOMATIC REBALANCING
You may terminate automatic rebalancing at any time, as long as we receive your
notice of termination at least five days before the next automatic rebalancing
date.
POLICY LOANS
You may borrow against your policy at any time after the first monthly
processing date by using your policy as security for a loan, or as otherwise
required by law. The amount you borrow is called a policy loan. Your policy loan
is:
1. the total amount you borrow from your policy; plus
2. any policy loan interest that is capitalized when due; minus
3. policy loan repayments you make.
Unless state law requires differently, new policy loans must be at least $100.
The maximum amount you can borrow on any valuation date, unless required
differently by state law, is your net account value minus the monthly deductions
to your next policy anniversary or 13 monthly deductions if you take a loan
within thirty days before your next policy anniversary.
Your request for a policy loan must be directed to our customer service center.
If you have telephone privileges, you may request a policy loan for less than
$25,000 by telephoning our customer service center. SEE TELEPHONE PRIVILEGES,
PAGE 38.
When you request a loan you may specify one investment option from which the
loan will be taken. If you do not specify one, the loan will be taken
proportionately from each active investment option you have.
When you take a policy loan, we transfer an amount equal to your policy loan
from the specified investment option proportionately or from the variable and
the guaranteed interest divisions to the loan division. We follow this same
process for loan interest due at your policy anniversary. We credit the loan
division with interest at an annual rate of 3%.
The loan division is part of our general account, separate from the guaranteed
interest division.
Loan interest charges on your policy loan accrue daily at an annual interest
rate of 3.25%. Interest is due in arrears on each policy anniversary. If you do
not pay your interest when it is due, we add it to your policy loan.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 32
<PAGE>
If you request an additional loan, we add the amount you request to your
existing outstanding policy loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding
on your policy at any time.
Policy loans may cause your policy to lapse if your net account value is not
enough to pay all deductions each month. SEE LAPSE, PAGE 34.
Policy loans may have tax consequences. SEE DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN DEATH
BENEFITS FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48, AND DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER
THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS,
PAGE 48.
LOAN REPAYMENT
You may repay all or part of your policy loan at any time. We assume that any
payments you make, other than scheduled premiums, are policy loan repayments.
You must tell us otherwise if you want additional payments to be premium
payments.
When you make a loan repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your repayment
from the loan division, the variable investment options and the guaranteed
interest division in the same proportion as your current premium allocation,
unless you tell us otherwise.
LOANS AND YOUR BENEFITS
Taking a loan decreases the amount you have in the investment options. Accruing
loan interest will change your net account value as compared to what it would
have been if you did not take a loan.
Even if you repay your loan, it has a permanent effect on your account value.
The benefits under your policy may be affected.
The loan is a first lien on your policy. If you do not repay your policy loan,
we deduct your outstanding policy loan and accrued loan interest from the death
benefit payable, the surrender value payable.
The policy lapses when the account value minus policy loans and accrued loan
interest is not enough to cover your monthly deductions. If your policy lapses
with a loan outstanding, you may have adverse tax consequences. SEE
DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE
48, AND DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48.
If you use the continuation of coverage feature and you have a policy loan, loan
interest continues to accrue. If you do not make loan payments your policy could
lapse.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
You may request a partial withdrawal on any valuation date after your first
policy anniversary by contacting our customer service center. You make a partial
withdrawal when you withdraw part of your net account value. If your request is
by telephone, the partial withdrawal must be for an amount less than $25,000 and
may not cause a decrease in your death benefit; otherwise, your request must be
in writing. SEE TELEPHONE PRIVILEGES, PAGE 38.
You may take only one partial withdrawal per policy year.
The minimum partial withdrawal you may take is $100. The maximum partial
withdrawal you may take is the amount which leaves $500 as your net account
value. If you request a withdrawal of more than this maximum, we require you to
surrender your policy. When you take a partial withdrawal, we deduct your
withdrawal amount plus any service fee from your account value. SEE CHARGES,
PAGE 42.
Partial withdrawals may have adverse tax consequences. SEE DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER
THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48, AND
DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED
ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS UNDER DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 1
If you selected death benefit option 1, and if no more than fifteen years have
passed since your policy date and the insured person is not yet age 81, you may
make a partial withdrawal of up to the greater of 10% of your account value, or
5% of your stated death benefit without decreasing the stated death benefit.
Otherwise amounts you withdraw will reduce your stated death benefit by the
amount of the withdrawal unless your policy death benefit has been increased due
to the federal income tax definition of life insurance.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 33
<PAGE>
If your policy death benefit has been increased due to the federal income tax
definition of life insurance at the time of the partial withdrawal, then at
least part of your partial withdrawal may be made without reducing your stated
death benefit.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS UNDER DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 2
If you have selected death benefit option 2, a partial withdrawal does not
reduce your stated death benefit or target death benefit. However, we reduce the
total death benefit by at least the partial withdrawal amount because your
account value is reduced.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS UNDER DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 3
If you have selected death benefit option 3 and your partial withdrawal is less
than the total of premiums you have paid less the total of your prior partial
withdrawals, then your stated death benefit will not be reduced. However, your
total death benefit will be reduced by at least the amount of your partial
withdrawal.
If your partial withdrawal is more than the amount of premiums you have paid
less the total of your prior partial withdrawals, then the excess is treated in
the same manner as partial withdrawals under death benefit option 1. SEE PARTIAL
WITHDRAWALS UNDER DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 1, PAGE 33.
STATED DEATH BENEFIT AND TARGET DEATH BENEFIT REDUCTIONS
Generally, we reduce the stated death benefit by the amount of the partial
withdrawal. A partial withdrawal may reduce your target death benefit.
Partial withdrawals do not reduce the stated death benefit if your base death
benefit has been increased to qualify your policy as life insurance under the
federal income tax laws, if you withdraw an amount that is no greater than the
amount that reduces your account value to a level which no longer requires your
base death benefit to be increased to qualify as life insurance for federal
income tax law purposes. SEE TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY, PAGE 47.
We require a minimum target death benefit to issue your policy. You are not
allowed to take a partial withdrawal if it reduces your target death benefit
below this minimum. SEE GROUP OR SPONSORED ARRANGEMENTS OR CORPORATE PURCHASERS,
PAGE 46.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL MECHANICS
Unless you tell us otherwise, we will make a partial withdrawal from the
guaranteed interest division and the variable division in the same proportion
that each has to your net account value immediately before your withdrawal. The
amount withdrawn from the guaranteed interest division may not be for more than
your total withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of your account value in the
guaranteed interest division to your total net account value immediately before
the partial withdrawal transaction.
We will send a new schedule page for your policy showing the effect of your
withdrawal if there is any change to your stated death benefit or your target
death benefit. Or, to make this change, we may ask that you return the policy to
our customer service center.
Your withdrawal and any reductions in the death benefits are effective as of the
valuation date on which we receive your request. SEE DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN
DEATH BENEFITS FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48, AND DISTRIBUTIONS
OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACTS, PAGE 48.
LAPSE
Your insurance coverage continues as long as your net account value is enough to
pay all deductions each month.
In any policy year, if you have an outstanding policy loan, your policy will
lapse if the loan plus the accrued interest owed is more than the account value.
After the insured person reaches age 100 and if the continuation of coverage
feature is active, the policy could lapse even though there are no further
monthly deductions.
GRACE PERIOD
Your policy enters the 61-day lapse grace period if, on a monthly processing
date your net account value is zero (or less).
We notify you that the policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before the
grace period ends. We provide this notice to you, or a person to whom you
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 34
<PAGE>
have assigned your policy, at the last address in our records. We notify you of
the required premium payment necessary to prevent your policy from lapsing. This
amount is generally the amount of past due charges, plus the amount that covers
your estimated monthly policy deductions for the next two months. If the insured
person dies during the grace period, we pay death proceeds to your
beneficiary(ies) with reductions for policy loans, accrued loan interest, and
monthly deductions owed.
If we receive payment of the required amount before the end of the grace period,
we apply it to your account value in the same manner as your other premium
payments, then we take the overdue deductions from your account balance.
If you do not pay the full amount required within the 61-day grace period, your
policy (and rider) lapse without value. We then withdraw your remaining account
balance from the variable and guaranteed interest divisions. We deduct amounts
you owe us and inform you that the policy has ended.
REINSTATEMENT
If you do not pay enough premium before the end of the grace period, your policy
lapses. You may reinstate your policy and rider within five years after the
grace period ends.
Unless state law requires differently, we will reinstate your policy and rider
if:
1. you have not surrendered your policy for its surrender value;
2. you provide satisfactory evidence to us that the insured person is
still insurable according to our normal rules of underwriting; and
3. we receive enough premium from you to keep your policy and rider in
force from the beginning to the end of the grace period and for two
months after the reinstatement date.
Reinstatement is effective as of the monthly processing date following our
approval of your reinstatement application. If you had a policy loan when
coverage ended, we reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of lapse.
The cost of insurance charges in effect at the time of reinstatement for the age
of the insured person are adjusted to reflect the time since the lapse.
We apply the net premiums received after reinstatement according to the premium
allocation
instructions in effect at the start of the grace period, unless you tell us
otherwise.
SURRENDER
You may surrender your policy for its surrender value any time while the insured
person is living. You do this by sending a written request and your policy or a
lost policy form to our customer service center.
We compute your surrender value as of the valuation date we receive your
surrender request and policy at our customer service center. All insurance
coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request and policy. SEE
POLICY VALUES, PAGE 10.
We do not pro-rate or add back charges and expenses to your account value which
we deducted on the monthly anniversary before the date your surrender is
processed.
A surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences. SEE DISTRIBUTIONS
OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48, AND
DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED
ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS, PAGE 48.
GENERAL POLICY PROVISIONS
FREE LOOK PERIOD OR RIGHT TO EXAMINE POLICY PERIOD
You have the right to examine your policy. The right to examine your policy (or
free look period) starts on the date you receive your policy. If for any reason
you do not want it, you may return your policy to us or your registered
representative within the period shown in the policy. If you return your policy
to us within your state's specified time limit, we will consider it canceled as
of your policy date.
If you cancel your policy during this free look period, you will receive a
refund as determined by state law.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 35
<PAGE>
Generally, there are two types of free look refunds. Some states require a
return of all premiums paid while others permit payment of the account value
plus a refund of all charges deducted. Your policy will specify what free look
refund applies in your state. The type of free look refund allowed in your state
will affect when your initial net premium and additional net premiums paid
before the end of the free look period are invested into the variable investment
options. SEE ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS, PAGE 21.
YOUR POLICY
Some groups under this policy may choose to use a master policy and certificates
rather than a series of individual policies.
The entire contract between you and us is the combination of:
o the policy (or certificate);
o a copy of your original application and any applications for benefit
increases or decreases;
o the adjustable term insurance rider;
o endorsements;
o schedule pages; and
o reinstatement applications.
If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your changed
application and new schedules. If you send us your policy, we attach these items
to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your
policy.
Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be
representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless
it is in an application.
A president or an officer of our company and our secretary or assistant
secretary must sign all changes or amendments we make to your policy. No other
person may change the terms or conditions of your policy.
GUARANTEED ISSUE
We only offer this policy on a guaranteed issue basis. We issue these policies
up to a preset face amount with evidence of insurability requirements.
AGE
We issue your policy at the insured person's age stated in your policy schedule.
This is based on the insured person's age as of the nearest birth date to the
policy date. We determine the insured person's age at any given time by adding
the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at issue and shown in
the schedule. At issue of your policy, the insured person must be no less than
age 15 and no more than age 85.
OWNERSHIP
The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application.
The owner can exercise all rights and receive the benefits during the insured
person's lifetime before the maturity date. This includes the right to change
the owner, beneficiaries, or method to pay proceeds.
As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any
person who has been assigned rights under the policy, and any irrevocable
beneficiary(ies).
You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the
change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However,
we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded at our
customer service center. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to
recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.
BENEFICIARY(IES)
You, as owner, name the beneficiary(ies) when you apply for your policy. The
primary beneficiary(ies) who survives the insured person receives the death
proceeds. Other surviving beneficiary(ies) receive death proceeds only if there
is no surviving primary beneficiary(ies). If more than one beneficiary(ies)
survives the insured person, they share the death proceeds equally, unless you
have told us otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries has survived the
insured person, we pay the death proceeds to you, or to your estate as owner.
Once you tell us who the beneficiary(ies) is/are, we keep this information on
file. You may name a new beneficiary during the insured person's lifetime. We
pay the death proceeds to the most recent beneficiary(ies) whom you have most
recently named
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 36
<PAGE>
and which we have on record. We do not make multiple payments.
COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
You may assign your policy as security by sending written notice to us. After we
record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiary's(ies') rights
(unless the beneficiary(ies) was made an irrevocable beneficiary(ies) under an
earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to
make sure the assignment is valid.
INCONTESTABILITY
After your policy has been in force while the insured person is alive for two
years from your policy date, we will not question the validity of the statements
in your application. After your policy has been in force while the insured
person is alive for two years from the effective date of any new segment or from
the effective date of an increase in any other benefit, we will not contest the
statements in your application for the new segment or other benefit increase.
After this policy has been in force while the insured person is alive for two
years from the effective date of any reinstatement, we will not contest the
statements in your application for reinstatement.
MISSTATEMENTS OF AGE OR GENDER
If the insured person's age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death
benefit. We adjust death benefits to the amount which would have been purchased
for the insured person's correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death
benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your account value on the
last monthly processing date before the insured person's death, or as otherwise
required by state law.
If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, we do not make any adjustments for a
misstatement of gender.
SUICIDE
If the insured person commits suicide, while that insured person is sane or
insane within two years of your policy date, unless otherwise required by state
law, we limit death benefits to:
1. the total of all premiums paid to the time of death; minus
2. the amount of outstanding policy loans and accrued loan interest; minus
3. any partial withdrawals you have taken.
If the insured person has been changed, and the new insured person dies by
suicide within two years of the change date, we then limit the death benefit to:
1. your net account value as of the change date; plus
2. the premiums you paid since the change date; minus
3. the sum of any increases in policy loans, accrued loan interest, and
partial withdrawals taken since the change date.
We make a limited payment to the beneficiary(ies) for a new segment or other
increase if the insured person commits suicide, while sane or insane within two
years of the effective date of a new segment, or within two years of an increase
in any other benefit, unless otherwise required by state law. The limited
payment we make is equal to the cost of insurance and monthly expense charges
which were deducted for such increase.
TRANSACTION PROCESSING
Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to
process a payment, we pay:
o death proceeds;
o surrender value;
o partial withdrawals; and
o loan proceeds.
We may delay processing these transactions if:
o the NYSE is closed for trading;
o trading on the NYSE is restricted by the SEC;
o there is an emergency so that it is not reasonably possible to sell
securities in the variable investment options or to determine the value
of a variable investment option's assets; or
o a governmental body with jurisdiction over the separate account allows
suspension by its order.

SEC rules and regulations determine whether or not these conditions exist.
We execute transfers among the variable investment options as of the valuation
date of our receipt of your request at our customer service center.
We determine death proceeds as of the insured person's date of death. The death
proceeds are not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the variable
investment options. We pay interest at our stated rate (or at a higher rate if
required by law) from the insured person's date of death to the date of payment.
We may delay payment from our guaranteed interest division for up to six months,
unless state law requires otherwise, of:
o surrender proceeds;
o withdrawal amounts; or
o loan amounts.
We pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher rate if required by law)
from the date we receive the request if we delay payment more than 30 days.
NOTIFICATION AND CLAIMS PROCEDURES
Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any
election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.
You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before
we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your
policy for certain policy changes or if you surrender it.
If the insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us or your
registered representative know as soon as possible. We will immediately send you
instructions on how to make a claim. As proof of the deceased insured person's
death, we may require you to provide proof of the deceased insured person's age,
and a certified copy of the deceased insured person's death certificate.
The beneficiary(ies) and the deceased insured person's next of kin may need to
sign authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information about the
deceased insured person. This information may include medical records of doctors
and hospitals used by the deceased insured person.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 38
<PAGE>
We sell our policies through registered representatives of other broker-dealers
including, but not limited to:
1. VESTAX Securities Corporation, a subsidiary of ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc.;
2. Locust Street Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Security Life of Denver
Insurance Company;
3. Multi-Financial Services, Inc., an affiliate of Security Life of Denver
Insurance Company; and
4. IFG Network Securities, Inc., a subsidiary of Investors Financial
Group, Inc., which is a subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings,
Inc.
These broker-dealers have entered into selling agreements with us. They are
registered with the SEC and the NASD.
Under these selling agreements, we pay a distribution allowance to
broker-dealers, who then pay commissions to the registered representative who
sells this policy. During the first policy year, the distribution allowance may
be up to 12% of the target premium that you paid. For policy years two through
four, the distribution allowance may be up to 10% of the target premium. For
policy years five through ten, the distribution allowance may equal up to 2% of
the target premiums that you have paid. After the tenth policy year, there is no
distribution allowance.
Broker-dealers may receive annual renewal payments of 0.20% of the net account
value for the first twenty years of your policy and 0.10% each year thereafter.
Compensation arrangements vary among broker-dealers and depend on particular
circumstances. In addition to the above-described compensation, we may pay
wholesaler fees and training allowances.
We pay distribution and other allowances from our resources which includes sales
charges deducted from premiums.
ADVERTISING PRACTICES AND SALES LITERATURE
We may use advertisements and sales literature to promote this product,
including:
o articles on variable life insurance and other information published in
business or financial publications;
o indices or rankings of investment securities; and
o comparisons with other investment vehicles, including tax
considerations.
We may use information regarding the past performance of the variable investment
options. Past performance is not indicative of future performance of the
investment options or the policies and is not reflective of the actual
investment experience of policyowners.
We may feature certain investment options and their managers, as well as
describe asset levels and sales volumes for our products. We may refer to past,
current, or prospective economic trends and investment performance or other
information we believe may be of interest to our customers.
SETTLEMENT PROVISIONS
You may elect to have the beneficiary(ies) receive the death proceeds other than
in one payment. If you make this election, you must do so during the insured
person's lifetime. If you have not made this election, the beneficiary(ies) may
do so within 60 days after we receive proof of the insured person's death.
You may take your surrender value in other than one payment.
The investment performance of the variable investment options does not affect
payments under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed
rate based on the option you choose. Payment options are subject to our rules at
the time you make your selection. A periodic payment must be at least $20.
Currently, these alternate payment options are available if the proceeds are
$2,000 or more.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 39
<PAGE>
Option I: PAYOUTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD: Payout payments may be made on
a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis for a period
from five to thirty years. The installment dollar amounts are equal
except for any excess interest. Settlement Option Table I in your
policy shows the amount of the first monthly payout for each $1,000
of account value applied.
Option II: LIFE INCOME WITH PAYOUTS GUARANTEED FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD:
Payout payments may be made on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual,
or annual basis throughout the lifetime of the person receiving the
payment, or if longer for guaranteed periods of five, ten, fifteen,
or twenty years. You choose the length of time to receive the
guaranteed payments. If you choose a longer guaranteed period, the
amount of your periodic payments will be lower.
The installment dollar amounts are equal except for any excess
interest. The Settlement Option Table II in your policy shows the
amount of the first monthly payout for each $1,000 of account value
applied. This option is available only for the ages shown in this
table.
Option III: HOLD AT INTEREST: Amounts may be left on deposit with us to be
paid at the death of the person you choose to receive the payment,
or at a chosen earlier date. We will pay interest at our declared
rate on any unpaid balance (or at a higher rate if required by
law). You may choose interest to be accumulated or be paid on a
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.
You may not leave money on deposit for more than 30 years.
Option IV: PAYOUTS OF A DESIGNATED AMOUNT: Payouts will be made until
proceeds, including interest, are exhausted. Interest is at a rate
we declare (or at a higher rate as required by law). Payout payment
choices are on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.
Option V: OTHER: You, as owner, may ask us to apply money under any
options we offer at the time we pay the benefit.
The beneficiary(ies) or other person (successor to the beneficiary(ies)) who has
the right to receive payments may name someone else to receive amounts that we
would otherwise pay to the beneficiary's(ies') estate if he/she/they die(s). The
person who has the right to receive payment may name another person, at any
time. Designating another person to receive payment may have income, gift or
estate tax consequences. Consult a professional tax adviser before making this
designation.
We must approve an arrangement that involves someone who is to receive payment
who is not a human being (for example, a corporation). We must approve a
situation involving a person who is to receive payment while acting on behalf of
another, called a fiduciary. We base the details of all arrangements on our
rules at the time the arrangements are effective. This includes rules on the:
o minimum amount we pay under an option;
o minimum amounts for installment payments;
o withdrawal rights;
o right to receive payments over time, which we may offer as a lump sum
payment;
o naming of people who have the right to receive payment and their
successors; and
o proof of age and survival.
ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY
VOTING PRIVILEGES
We invest the variable investment option's assets in shares of investment
portfolios. We are the legal owner of the shares held in the separate account
and we have the right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote
on issues described in the fund's current prospectus, or issues requiring a vote
by shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to
vote the number of shares attributable to your account value.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 40
<PAGE>
We count fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy
material and a form on which to give us your voting instructions.
Each investment portfolio's shares have the right to one vote. The votes of all
investment portfolios are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues
for which the interests of the portfolios differ. In these cases, voting is done
on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis.
Examples of issues that require a portfolio-by-portfolio vote are:
1. changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular investment
portfolio; or
2. approval of an investment advisory agreement.
We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of
investment portfolio shareholders. We vote any investment portfolio shares that
are not attributable to policies, and any investment portfolio shares for which
the owner does not give us instructions, the same way we vote as if we did
receive owner instructions.
We reserve the right to vote investment portfolio shares without getting
instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations, or
their interpretations change to allow this.
You may instruct us only on matters relating to the investment portfolios
corresponding to divisions in which you have invested assets as of the record
date set by the investment portfolio's Board for the portfolio's shareholders
meeting. We determine the number of investment portfolio shares in each variable
investment option that we attribute to your policy by dividing your account
value allocated to that variable investment option by the net asset value of one
share of the matching investment portfolio.
MATERIAL CONFLICTS
We are required to track events to identify any material conflicts arising from
using investment portfolios for both variable life and variable annuity separate
accounts. The boards of the investment portfolios, Security Life, and other
insurance companies participating in the investment portfolios, have this same
duty. There may be a material conflict if:
o state insurance law or federal income tax law changes;
o investment management of an investment portfolio changes; or
o voting instructions given by owners of variable life insurance policies
and variable annuity contracts differ.
The investment portfolios may sell shares to certain qualified pension and
retirement plans qualifying under Code Section 401. These include cash or
deferred arrangements under Code Section 401(k). Therefore, there is a
possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of owners
in general, or between certain classes of owners, and these retirement plans or
participants in these retirement plans.
If there is a material conflict, we have the duty to determine appropriate
action, including removing the portfolios involved from our variable investment
options. We may take other action to protect policy owners. This could mean
delays or interruptions of the variable operations.
When state insurance regulatory authorities require us, we may ignore voting
instructions relating to changes in an investment portfolio's adviser or its
investment policies. If we do ignore voting instructions, we give you a summary
of our actions in the next semi-annual report to owners.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we must get your approval for certain
actions involving our separate account. In this case, you have one vote for
every $100 of value you have in the variable investment options. We cast votes
credited to amounts in the variable investment options, but not credited to
policies in the same proportion as votes cast by owners.
RIGHT TO CHANGE OPERATIONS
Subject to state limitations, we may from time to time make any of the following
changes to our separate account:
1. Change the investment objective.
2. Offer additional variable investment options which will invest in
portfolios we find appropriate for policies we issue.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 41
<PAGE>
3. Eliminate variable investment options.
4. Combine two or more variable investment options.
5. Substitute a new investment portfolio for a portfolio in which the
division currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in
our judgment:
o a portfolio no longer suits the purposes of your policy;
o there is a change in laws or regulations;
o there is a change in a portfolio's investment objectives or
restrictions;
o the portfolio is no longer available for investment; or
o another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.
6. Transfer assets related to your policy class to another separate
account.
7. Withdraw the separate account from registration under the 1940 Act.
8. Operate the separate account as a management investment company under
the 1940 Act.
9. Cause one or more divisions to invest in a mutual fund other than, or
in addition to, the investment portfolios.
10. Stop selling these policies.
11. End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the
agreement's terms.
12. Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the separate account.
13. Make any changes required by the 1940 Act, or its rules or regulations.
We will not make a change until it is effective with the SEC and approved by the
appropriate state insurance departments, if necessary. We will notify you of
changes. If you wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected option to
another variable investment option, or to the guaranteed interest division, you
may do so free of charge. Just notify us at our customer service center.
REPORTS TO OWNERS
At the end of each policy year we send a report to you that shows:
o your total net policy death benefit (your stated death benefit plus
adjustable term insurance rider death benefit, if any);
o your account value;
o your policy loan if any, plus accrued interest;
o your surrender value;
o information about the variable investment options; and
o your account transactions during the previous year showing net
premiums, transfers, deductions, loans, or withdrawals.
We also send semi-annual reports with financial information on the investment
portfolios, including a list of the investment holdings of each portfolio, to
you.
We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy
transactions.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
The amount of a charge may not exactly correspond to the cost incurred by us to
provide the service or benefits associated with the particular policy. Many
charges are not at "cost". For example, the sales charges may not cover all of
the sales and distribution expenses actually incurred by us. Proceeds from other
charges, including the mortality and expense risk charge or cost of insurance
charges, may be used in part to cover such expenses.
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
We consider any payment we receive to be a premium if the insured person is not
yet age 100 and you do not have an outstanding policy loan. After we deduct
certain expenses from your premium payment, we add the remaining net premium to
your account value.
TAX CHARGES
We pay state and local taxes in almost all states.
These taxes vary in amount from state to state and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 42
<PAGE>
may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within a state. Currently, state and
local taxes range from 0% to 5%. In the first policy or segment year, we deduct
2.5% of each premium payment you make up to target premium to cover these taxes.
Thereafter, we deduct 2.5% of all premium payments you make. This charge
approximates the average tax rate we expect to pay.
In the first policy or segment year, we deduct 1.5% of each premium payment you
make up to target premium. Thereafter, we deduct 1.5% of premiums you make to
cover our estimated costs for the federal income tax treatment of deferred
acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by a portion of the amount of
life insurance premiums we receive.
We reserve the right to increase or decrease your premium expense charge for
taxes as a result of changes in the tax law, within limits set by state law. We
also reserve the right to increase or decrease your premium expense charge for
the federal income tax treatment of deferred acquisition costs based on any
change in that cost to us.
SALES CHARGE
We deduct a percentage from each of your premium payments to compensate us for
the costs we incur in selling the policies. In the first policy or segment year
this charge is 2% of the premiums you pay up to target premium and 0.5% of the
premiums you pay for each policy or segment year thereafter.
The sales charge helps to cover the costs of distribution, preparing our sales
literature, promotional expenses, and other direct and indirect expenses. The
amount charged is not specifically related to sales expenses in a particular
year.
SINGLE WITHDRAWAL INVESTMENT OPTION
You have the option to designate a single withdrawal investment option from
which we will take your monthly deductions and your deferred sales charge. You
may make this designation at policy application or later. You may not use the
loan division as your designated withdrawal investment option from which to
deduct monthly deductions and the deferred sales charge.
If you do not choose a single withdrawal investment option from which to deduct
monthly deductions and deferred sales charge, or if the amount in your
designated withdrawal investment option is not enough to cover the monthly
deductions and deferred sales charge, these charges are taken from the variable
and guaranteed interest divisions in the same proportion that your account value
in each division has to your total net account value as of the monthly
processing date.
If you change your designated withdrawal investment option from which monthly
deductions and the deferred sales charge are deducted, we consider this a
premium allocation change for which there may be a charge. SEE POLICY
TRANSACTION FEES, PAGE 45.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
We deduct a deferred sales charge that is based on a percentage of the premium
payments you make in each of the first ten policy years as specified in your
schedule pages. The charge is based on premium payments, but is deducted from
your account value in equal installments on each of the seven policy
anniversaries following the date on which you make the premium payment. Each
policy segment has its own target premium and deferred sales charge. We allocate
your premium payments to determine the deferred sales charges under your policy
if you have more than one segment. SEE CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNTS, PAGE
25.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 43
<PAGE>
The deferred sales charge compensates us for a portion of the costs we incur in
selling the policies. See Changes in Death Benefit Amounts, page 25.

* These are the percentages used to determine the annual deduction. The
deduction will be made once each year for seven years.
MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE
We deduct charges from your account value on each monthly processing date.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a charge each month for the mortality and expense risks we assume.
This charge is 0.01667% per month of the amount you have in the variable
investment options on the monthly processing date. This is an annual rate of
0.20%.
The mortality risk we assume is that insured people, as a group, may live less
time than we estimated. We assume risk that expenses we incur in issuing and
administering the policies and in operating the variable investment options are
greater than the amount we estimated when we set these charges.
The mortality and expense risk charge does not apply to your account value which
is invested in the guaranteed interest division or the loan division.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
For this policy, we charge an administrative charge of $12 per month for the
first policy year and $6 per month for each policy year beyond that. The monthly
administrative charge is designed to compensate us for ongoing costs such as:
o premium billing and collections;
o claim processing;
o policy transactions;
o record keeping;
o reporting and communications with policy owners; and
o other expenses and overhead.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE
The cost of insurance charge compensates us for the ongoing costs of providing
insurance coverage under the policy, including the expected cost of paying death
proceeds that are more than your account value at the insured person's death.
The cost of insurance rates may depend on the:
o issue age of the insured people in the group;
o risk class of the insured people in the group;
o size of the group; and
o total premium the group pays.
The cost of insurance charge is equal to our current monthly cost of insurance
rate times the net amount at risk for each portion of your death benefit. We
calculate the net amount at risk monthly, at the beginning of each policy month.
For the base death benefit, the net amount at risk is calculated using the
difference between the current base death benefit and your account value. We
determine the amount of your account value after we deduct your policy charges
due on that date, other than cost of insurance charges for the base death
benefit and adjustable term insurance rider.
If your base death benefit at the beginning of a month increases (due to
requirements of the federal income tax law definition of life insurance), the
net amount at risk for your base death benefit for that month also increases.
Similarly, the net amount at risk for your adjustable term insurance rider
decreases. This means that the amount of your cost of insurance charge varies
from month to month with changes in your net amount at risk, changes in the
death benefit and with the increasing age of the insured person. We allocate the
net amount at risk to any segments in the same proportion that each
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 44
<PAGE>
segment has to the total stated death benefit for all coverage segments as of
the monthly processing date.
We apply unisex rates where appropriate under the law. This currently includes
the State of Montana and policies purchased by employers and employee
organizations in connection with employment-related insurance or benefit
programs.
Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each segment of the base death benefit
and your adjustable term insurance rider.
These rates are never more than the guaranteed maximum rates shown in your
policy; however, they may change from time to time. The guaranteed maximum rates
for base coverage are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Sex
Distinct Mortality Table.
The maximum rates for the initial and any new segment will be printed in the
schedule which we will provide to you. This may result in higher cost of
insurance charges than those that would apply if the policy were on an
individual instead of group basis.
CHANGES IN MONTHLY CHARGES
Changes we make in the cost of insurance charges or charges for additional
benefits are for a class of insured persons. We base the new charge on changes
in expectations about:
o investment earnings;
o mortality;
o the time policies remain in effect;
o expenses; and
o taxes.
New monthly charges will never be more than the guaranteed maximum rates shown
in your policy.
CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
When the insured person reaches age 100, if your policy has not been
surrendered, the continuation of coverage period begins. We will charge a
one-time administrative fee of $200. This charge compensates us for maintaining
and servicing your policy until the death of the insured person. We then no
longer charge you a monthly administrative fee.
POLICY TRANSACTION FEES
We also charge fees for certain transactions you may make under your policy. We
take these fees from the variable and the guaranteed interest divisions in the
same proportion that your account value in each division has to your net account
value immediately after the transaction.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
We deduct a service fee of $25 of the amount you request from your account value
for each partial
withdrawal you take to cover our costs. SEE PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS, PAGE 33.
TRANSFERS
There may be a $10 fee for each additional transfer over twelve per policy year
to cover our costs. If you include multiple transfers in one request, it counts
as one transfer. There is no transfer fee if you are exercising the right to
exchange feature in your policy. SEE TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNT VALUE, PAGE 30, AND
RIGHT TO EXCHANGE POLICY, PAGE 27.
ILLUSTRATIONS
The first policy illustration you request in a policy year is free. After that,
we may charge a fee of up to $25 for each additional policy illustration you
request.
PREMIUM ALLOCATION CHANGE
You may make five free premium allocation changes per policy year. After the
five free premium allocation changes, we may charge you $25 for each additional
premium allocation change per policy year. If you change your designated
withdrawal investment option, we consider this a premium allocation charge for
which there may be a charge. SEE MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE,

GROUP OR SPONSORED ARRANGEMENTS OR CORPORATE PURCHASERS
Groups of individuals, corporations or other institutions may purchase this
policy. For some group or sponsored arrangements (including employees and
certain family members of employees of Security Life of Denver, its affiliates
and appointed sales agents), or special exchange programs which we may offer
from time to time, we may reduce or waive the:
o administrative charge;
o minimum target death benefit;
o target premium;
o sales charges;
o cost of insurance charges; or
o other charges normally assessed.
We can reduce or waive these items due to expected economies based on the
characteristics of the group or sponsored arrangement or with a corporate
purchaser. Group arrangements include those in which there is a trustee, an
employer or an association. The group may either purchase policies covering a
group of individuals or endorse a policy to a group of individuals. Sponsored
arrangements include those in which an employer or association allows us to
offer policies to its employees or members on an individual basis.
Our sales, administration and mortality costs generally vary with the size and
stability of the group, among other factors which we take into account when we
reduce charges. We make reductions to charges based on our rules in effect when
we approve a policy application. We may change these rules from time to time.
We will not be unfairly discriminatory in the variation in the administrative
charge, or other charges, fees and privileges. These variations are based on
differences in costs or services.
OTHER CHARGES
Under current law, we pay no tax on investment income and capital gains included
in variable life insurance policy reserves. This means that no charge is
currently made to any variable investment option for our federal income taxes.
If the tax law changes and we have federal income tax chargeable to the variable
investment options, we may make such a charge in the future.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax
considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or
to cover all tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice.
Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more complete
information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present
federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of
continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 46
<PAGE>
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY
This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed
in a manner which is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax
treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a
policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in Internal Revenue
Code Section 7702. However, there is very little guidance, with respect to
policies issued on a substandard basis. Nevertheless, we believe it is
reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements. If
it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable
requirements, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring the policy
into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict
policy transactions or modify your policy in order to do so.
Specifically this policy must meet the requirements of the "cash value
accumulation test" as specified in Code Section 7702.
Under the cash value accumulation test, there is no limit to the amount that may
be paid in premiums as long as there is enough death benefit in relation to
account value at all times. The death benefit at all times must be at least
equal to an actuarially determined factor, depending on the insured person's age
and sex at any point in time, multiplied by the account value. SEE APPENDIX A,
PAGE 244, FOR A TABLE OF THE CASH VALUE ACCUMULATION TEST FACTORS.
We will at all times assure that the policy meets the statutory definition which
qualifies the policy as life insurance for federal income tax purposes. In
addition, as long as the policy remains in force, increases in account value as
a result of interest or investment experience will not be subject to federal
income tax unless and until there is a distribution from the policy, such as a
partial withdrawal or loan. SEE TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY DEATH BENEFITS, PAGE 48.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
In addition to meeting the Code Section 7702 tests, Code Section 817(h) requires
separate account investments, such as our variable account, to be adequately
diversified. The Treasury has issued regulations which set the standards for
measuring the adequacy of any diversification. To be adequately diversified,
each variable investment option must meet certain tests. If your variable life
policy is not adequately diversified under these regulations, it is not treated
as life insurance under Code Section 7702. You would then be subject to federal
income tax on your policy income as you earn it. Our variable investment
options' investment portfolios have promised they will meet the diversification
standards that apply to your policy.
In certain circumstances, you, as owner of a variable life insurance contract,
may be considered the owner for federal income tax purposes of the separate
account assets used to support your contract. Any income and gains from the
separate account assets are includable in the gross income from your policy
under these circumstances. The IRS has stated in published rulings that a
variable contract owner is considered the owner of separate account assets if
the contract owner has "indicia of ownership" in those assets. "Indicia of
ownership" includes the ability to exercise investment control over the assets.
Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some
ways from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that
policy owners are not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have
flexibility in allocating your premium payments and in your policy values. These
differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a pro rata
share of the variable account assets. We do not know what standards will be set
forth in the future, if any, in Treasury regulations or rulings. We reserve the
right to modify your policy, as necessary, to try to prevent you from being
considered the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets, or to
otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax treatment.
The following discussion assumes that the policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>
TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY DEATH BENEFITS
We believe that the death benefit under a policy is generally excludable from
the gross income of the beneficiary(ies) under section 101(a)(1) of the Code.
However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Additionally, federal and
local transfer, estate inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or
receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or
beneficiary(ies). A tax adviser should be consulted about these consequences.
Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the policy cash value
until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when
loans are taken from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on
whether or not the policy is a "modified endowment contract."
Special rules also apply if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax. You
should consult a tax adviser if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified
as "modified endowment contracts," and are given less favorable tax treatment
than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as
to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will
determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The
rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount
of premiums paid during the first seven policy years. Certain changes in a
policy after it is issued could also cause it to be classified as a modified
endowment contract. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a
competent adviser to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause
the policy to be classified as a modified endowment contract.
MULTIPLE POLICIES
All modified endowment contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to
the same policy owner during any calendar year are treated as one modified
endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includable in the
policy owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.
DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax
rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made in the prior two
years:
1. All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions
upon surrender and withdrawals, from a modified endowment contact will
be treated first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income
and as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy
only after all gain has been distributed.
2. Loans taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified
endowment contract are treated as distributions and taxed first as
distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income and as tax-free
recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all
gain has been distributed.
3. A 10% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on the distribution
amount subject to income tax. Consult a tax adviser to determine
whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.
DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED
ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as
a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the
policy owner's investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all
investment in the policy, is there taxable income. However, certain
distributions which must be made in order to enable the policy to continue to
qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes, if policy
benefits are
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 48
<PAGE>
reduced during the first fifteen policy years, may be treated in whole or in
part as ordinary income subject to tax.
Loans from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are
generally not treated as distributions. Finally, neither distributions from, nor
loans from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are
subject to the 10% additional income tax.
INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY
Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums.
When a distribution is taken from the policy other than a policy loan, your
investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is
tax free.
POLICY LOANS
In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. Before taking out
a policy loan, you should consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences.
SECTION 1035 EXCHANGES
Code Section 1035 generally provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on
the exchange of one life insurance policy for another life insurance policy, or
for an endowment or annuity contract. We accept 1035 exchanges with outstanding
loans. Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 exchanges. If you wish
to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult your tax adviser.
TAX-EXEMPT POLICY OWNERS
Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity.
Tax-exempt entities should consult their tax adviser regarding the consequences
of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences could include an effect on
the tax-exempt status of the entity and the possibility of the unrelated
business income tax.
POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES
Although the likelihood of legislative action is uncertain, there is always the
possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation
or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative
developments and their effect on the policy.
CHANGES TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW
So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Code, we
reserve the right to refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments, or
to change your death benefit. We may refuse to allow you to make partial
withdrawals that would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance.
We also may:
o make changes to your policy or its riders; or
o take distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem
necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes.
If we make any change of this type, it applies the same way to all affected
policies. We will give you advance notice of this change.
The tax law limits the mortality charge used to calculate whether your policy
qualifies as life insurance for federal income tax purposes. We must base these
calculations on reasonable mortality charges expected to be paid. The Treasury
issued proposed regulations on what it considers reasonable mortality charges.
We believe that the charges used for your policy should meet the Treasury's
current requirement for "reasonableness." We reserve the right to make changes
to the mortality charges used in the calculation if future regulations have
standards which make changes necessary in order to continue to qualify your
policy as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.
Additionally, assuming that you do not want your policy to be or to become a
modified endowment contract, we include a policy endorsement under which we have
the right to amend your policy, including riders. We do this to attempt to
enable your policy to continue to meet the seven-pay test for federal income tax
purposes. If the policy premium you pay is more than the seven-pay limit, we
have the right to remove any excess premium or to make
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 49
<PAGE>
any appropriate adjustments to your policy's account value and death benefit. It
is not clear, however, whether we can take effective action pursuant to this
endorsement under all possible circumstances to prevent a policy that has
exceeded the premium limitation from being classified as a modified endowment
contract.
Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of
insurance charges.
Other
Policy owners may use our policies in various arrangements, including:
o qualified plans;
o non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans;
o split dollar insurance plans;
o executive bonus plans;
o retiree medical benefit plans; and
o other plans.
The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts
and circumstances of each arrangement. If you want to use any of your policies
in this type of arrangement, you should consult a qualified tax adviser
regarding the tax issues of your particular arrangement.
In recent years, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned
by businesses. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a
change in an existing policy should consult a tax adviser.
The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts
individuals receive in a taxable transaction. We do not withhold income taxes if
you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. If the amount withheld for
you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you may have to pay income taxes and
possibly penalties later.
The transfer of the policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal,
state, and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the
imposition of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example,
the transfer of the policy to, or the designation as a beneficiary of, or the
payment of proceeds to a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or
more generations below the generation assignment of the policy owner may have
generation skipping transfer tax consequences under federal tax law. The
individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the
extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance
taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be
treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation
skipping and other taxes.
YOU SHOULD CONSULT QUALIFIED LEGAL OR TAX ADVISERS FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION ON
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES, SURRENDER VALUES, AND
ACCUMULATED PREMIUMS
The following tables are intended to show how the policy works. This includes
how benefits and values can vary over a long period of time. Each table also
compares these values with total premiums paid with interest. The policies
illustrated include:

Male 55 Non-tobacco user 1 CVAT 65,846 $10,000 131,692
</TABLE>
The tables show how death benefits, account values, and surrender values of a
hypothetical policy could vary over an extended period of time, assuming the
variable divisions had constant hypothetical gross annual investment returns of
0%, 6%, or 12% over the periods indicated in each table. Values would differ
from those shown in the tables if the annual investment returns were not
constant. The amounts shown would differ if we had used female or unisex rates.
These illustrations assume there are no policy loans.
We illustrate premium payments as if they were made at the beginning of the
year. The third column of each table shows what would happen if an amount equal
to the assumed premiums earned interest, after taxes, of 5% compounded annually.
The net investment return on your policy is lower than the gross investment
return on the variable division. This is due to the portfolio charge for
management fees and portfolio expenses. We show the effect of the net investment
return in the amounts for death benefits, account values and surrender values.
The tables reflect annual investment management fees of 0.78% of the portfolios'
aggregate average daily net assets. This hypothetical rate is a simple average
of the investment advisory fees applying to the investment portfolios for the
year ending December 31, 1998. We assume other portfolio expenses at the rate of
0.13% of the portfolios' average daily net assets. This is an average of all the
portfolios' other expenses for the year ending December 31, 1998, after any
absorption by investment portfolio managers has been made. The average of all
portfolios' total expenses is 0.91%.
Actual fees vary by portfolio. The portfolio fees and expenses used in the
illustrations are the net amounts shown after absorption of fees and expenses by
the portfolio's investment manager. Absent such absorption, the total
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 51
<PAGE>
average investment management fees, average other portfolio expenses and the
average of all portfolios' total expenses used in the illustrations would have
been higher (0.78%, 0.82% and 1.60%, respectively). The tables assume that the
current expense reimbursement arrangements will continue. However, they may not
continue through 1999.
The effect of these portfolio charges and expenses results in a net rate of
return of:
o (0.91)% on a 0% gross rate of return;
o 5.09% on a 6% gross rate of return; and
o 11.09% on a 12% gross rate of return.
The tables assume that charges have been deducted including deductions from
premiums, cost of insurance rider charges, monthly deductions and annual
deferred sales charge, mortality and expense risk charge, administrative and
sales charges. The tables show charges at our current rates. The tables also
show charges at the maximum rates we guarantee in our policies. SEE MONTHLY
DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE, PAGE 44. The tables reflect that we do not
currently charge against the separate account for state or federal taxes. If we
charge for the taxes in the future, it will take a higher gross rate of return
than the rates shown to produce the same death benefits, account values, and
surrender values.
If we are asked to do so, we will give you a comparable personal illustration
based on:
o each insured person's age and gender;
o standard premium class assumptions;
o initial stated death benefit;
o the chosen death benefit option;
o scheduled premiums consistent with your policy form; and
o special features elected on your policy.
For individual policies, at issue we deliver an individualized illustration
showing the scheduled premium you chose and the insured person's actual risk
class. This Corporate Benefits policy is issued only to groups. For this policy,
we deliver an illustration similar to the individualized illustration. However,
this illustration shows a single life scheduled premium and risk class that is
representative of the particular group covered by this policy. We base these
hypothetical future benefits on both guaranteed and current cost factor
assumptions and actual account value.

The current cost of insurance rates are subject to change. Account values will

mortality charge rates are based on current mortality experience and are not
dependent upon future improvements in underlying mortality.
The hypothetical gross rates of return shown are illustrative only and should
not be deemed as a representation of past or future investment results. Actual
investment results and policy charges may be more or less than those shown and
will depend on a number of factors, including the investment allocations made to
the divisions of the variable account and the guaranteed interest division and
the investment experience of the divisions. No representation can be made that
these hypothetical gross investments returns can be achieved for any one year or

The death benefit, account value and cash surrender value for a policy would be
different from those shown if the actual gross annual rates of return averaged
0.00%, 12.00% and 6.00% over a period of years but varied above or below that

The expense charges and cost of insurance rates will never be greater than those
which were used to calculate the above values.
The hypothetical gross rates of return shown are illustrative only and should
not be deemed as a representation of past or future investment results. Actual
investment results may be more or less than those shown and will depend on a
number of factors, including the investment allocations made to the divisions of
the variable account and the guaranteed interest division and the investment
experience of the divisions. No representation can be made that these
hypothetical gross investment returns can be achieved for any one year or
sustained over any period of time.
The death benefit, account value and cash surrender value for a policy would be
different from those shown if the actual gross annual rates of return averaged
0.00%, 12.00% and 6.00% over a period of years but varied above or below that
average during the period. They would also be different if premiums were paid in
a different frequency than shown.

not be deemed as a representation of past or future investment results. Actual
investment results and policy charges may be more or less than those shown and
will depend on a number of factors, including the investment allocations made to
the divisions of the variable account and the guaranteed interest division and
the investment experience of the divisions. No representation can be made that
these hypothetical gross investments returns can be achieved for any one year or
sustained over any period of time.
The death benefit, account value and cash surrender value for a policy would be
different from those shown if the actual gross annual rates of return averaged
0.00%, 12.00% and 6.00% over a period of years but varied above or below that
average during the period. They would also be different if premiums were paid in
a different frequency than shown.

The current cost of insurance rates are subject to change. Account values will

REGULATION
We are regulated and supervised by the Division of Insurance of the Department
of Regulatory Agencies of the State of Colorado which periodically examines our
financial condition and operations. In addition, we are subject to the insurance
laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which we do business. As a result,
the provisions of this policy may vary somewhat from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction.
We are required to submit annual statements, including financial statements, of
our operations and finances to the insurance departments of the various
jurisdictions in which we do business to determine solvency and compliance with
state insurance laws and regulations.
We are also subject to various federal securities laws and regulations.
LEGAL MATTERS
The legal matters in connection with the policy described in this prospectus
have been passed on by the General Counsel of Security Life. Sutherland Asbill &
Brennan LLP has provided advice on certain matters relating to the federal
securities laws.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Security Life, as an insurance company, is ordinarily involved in litigation. We
do not believe that any current litigation is material to Security Life's
ability to meet its obligations under the policy or to the variable account, and
we do not expect to incur significant losses from such actions. ING America
Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy, is not
engaged in any litigation of any material nature.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of Security Life of Denver Insurance
Company and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, and the financial statements
of the Security Life Separate Account L1 at December 31, 1998, and for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, appearing in this
prospectus and registration statement have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP,
independent auditors, as set forth in their reports thereon appearing elsewhere
herein, and are included in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of
such firm as experts in accounting and auditing. Other financial statements
included in the prospectus are unaudited.
Actuarial matters in this prospectus have been examined by James L. Livingston,
Jr., F.S.A., M.A.A.A., who is Executive Vice President and Chief Actuary of
Security Life. His opinion on actuarial matters is filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement we filed with the SEC.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
We have filed a Registration Statement relating to the Variable Account and the
variable life insurance policy described in this prospectus with the SEC. The
Registration Statement, which is required by the Securities Act of 1933,

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Stockholder
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Life of
Denver Insurance Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder's
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Security Life of
Denver Insurance Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and
operations, after intercompany eliminations, of Security Life of Denver
Insurance Company (Security Life) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Midwestern
United Life Insurance Company (Midwestern United); First ING Life Insurance
Company of New York (First ING); First Secured Mortgage Deposit Corporation; and
ING America Equities, Inc.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the Company) is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (ING America).
The Company focuses on two markets, the advanced market and reinsurance to other
insurers. The life insurance products offered for the advanced market include
wealth transfer and estate planning, executive benefits, charitable giving and
corporate owned life insurance. These products include traditional life,
interest sensitive life, universal life and variable life. Operations are
conducted almost entirely on the general agency basis and the Company is
presently licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York),
the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. In the reinsurance market, the
Company offers financial security to clients through a mix of total risk
management and traditional life insurance services.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that materially
affect the financial statements are summarized below:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which, as to the
insurance companies included in the consolidation, differ from statutory
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory
authorities.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
During June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement was effective for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after December 31, 1996. Also in 1996, the FASB issued Statement No. 127, which
delayed certain provisions of FAS 125 dealing with transactions such as
securities lending, repurchase and dollar repurchase agreements until 1998. The
portion of FAS 125 that became effective in 1997 requires the entity to
recognize financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has
incurred and to derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered
in accordance with the criteria provided in the Statement. The application of
the new rules did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also addresses the valuation for
long-lived assets that are identified for disposal. Adoption of this standard
resulted in an insignificant impact to net income and stockholder's equity.
During 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 132, Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits. This
Statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997, with the
restatement of disclosures for prior periods provided for comparative purposes,
unless prior period information is not readily available.
During 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, which requires an entity to divide comprehensive income into net income
and other comprehensive income in the period recognized. This Statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with the
restatement of prior period disclosures for comparative purposes. As a result of
implementing this Statement, the Company has classified items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in the statements of comprehensive income
and the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income in the equity section
of the balance sheet. This Statement affects the presentation of the financial
statements, with no effect on the valuation of total stockholder's equity.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
During 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes a new model for
accounting and reporting for derivatives and hedging activities. Statement 133
requires all derivatives to be recognized on the balance sheet and measured at
fair value. Based on the type of hedging relationship (fair value, cash flow, or
foreign currency), Statement 133 requires the recognition of offsetting changes
in value or cash flows of both the derivative and the hedged item in earnings in
the same period. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not
designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in
Statement 133 are included in earnings in the period of change. The
implementation of this Statement is required for years beginning after June 15,
1999, and upon the initial application of the Statement all derivatives are
required to be recognized in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities
and measured at fair value. The Company plans to adopt this Statement during
2000, and the effect of implementation on the Company's financial statements has
not yet been determined.
INVESTMENTS
Investments are presented on the following bases:
The carrying value of fixed maturities depends on the classification of the
security: securities held-to-maturity, securities available-for-sale, and
trading securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of
debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as
of each balance sheet date.
The Company does not hold any securities classified as held-to-maturity or
trading securities.
Debt securities and marketable equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair
value, with the unrealized gains and losses, and deferred policy
acquisition cost adjustments, reported net of tax as a component of other
comprehensive income in stockholder's equity.

Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities,
over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in
interest income from investments. Interest and dividends are included in
net investment income as earned.
Mortgage loans are carried at the unpaid balances less an allowance for
credit losses. Investment real estate is carried at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Policy loans are carried at unpaid balances. Derivatives are
accounted for on the same basis as the asset hedged.
Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary are included in net realized gains on investments. The
cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
RECOGNITION OF PREMIUM REVENUES
Premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those products
with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist principally of whole
life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Revenues for
universal life insurance policies and for investment products consist of policy
charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, and surrender
charges assessed against policyholder account balances during the year.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Commissions, reinsurance allowances, and other costs of acquiring traditional
life insurance, including reinsurance assumed, universal life insurance
(including interest sensitive products) and investment products that vary with
and are primarily related to the production of new and renewal business, have
been deferred. Traditional life insurance acquisition costs are being amortized
using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit
reserves. The period of amortization is normally over the premium-paying period.
In the case of policies with no first year premium, the period of amortization
includes the first year, in addition to the premium-paying period. For universal
life insurance and investment products, acquisition costs are being amortized
generally in proportion to the present value (using the assumed crediting rate)
of

expected gross margins from surrender charges, investments, mortality, and
expenses. This amortization is adjusted retrospectively when estimates of
current or future gross margins to be realized from a group of products are
revised.
Deferred policy acquisition costs are adjusted to reflect changes that would
have been necessary if unrealized investment gains and losses related to
available-for-sale securities had been realized. The Company has reflected those
adjustments in the asset balance with the offset as a direct adjustment to
accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholder's equity.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Benefit reserves for traditional life insurance products (other than reinsurance
assumed) are computed using a net level premium method including assumptions as
to investment yields, mortality, withdrawals and other assumptions based on
Company and industry experience. These assumptions include provisions for
adverse deviation and are modified as necessary to reflect anticipated trends.
Reserve interest assumptions are those deemed appropriate at the time of policy
issue, and range from 3% to 7.5%. Policy benefit claims are charged to expense
in the year that the claims are incurred.
Benefit reserves for reinsurance assumed are computed using pricing assumptions
with provisions for adverse deviation. Benefits for level-term reinsurance
assumed are computed to recognize profits in proportion with revenue. Benefit
reserves for all other reinsurance assumed are computed to recognize profits in
proportion to the coverage provided.
Benefit reserves for universal life-type policies (including fixed premium
interest sensitive products) and investment products are computed under a
retrospective deposit method and represent policy account balances before
applicable surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to
expense include benefit claims incurred during the year in excess of related
policy account balances. Interest crediting rates for universal life and
investment products range from 3.80% to 7.81% during 1998, 4.60% to 7.81% during
1997, and 4.60% to 7.45% during 1996.
Included in life and annuity reserves is an unearned revenue reserve that
reflects the unamortized balance of excess heaped expense loads over ultimate
renewal expense loads on universal life and investment products. These excess
fees have been deferred and are being recognized in income over the periods
benefitted, using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize deferred
policy acquisition costs.

POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS
The liabilities for unpaid claims include estimates of amounts due on reported
claims and claims that have been incurred but were not reported as of the
balance sheet date. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to
historical claim payment data and are considered reasonable and adequate to
discharge the Company's obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of the
balance sheet date.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the
estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the assets' carrying value.
Depreciation for major classes of assets is calculated on a straight-line basis.
PARTICIPATING INSURANCE
The Company accrues a liability for earnings on participating policies that
cannot inure to the benefit of the Company's stockholder. The liability is
determined based on earnings on participating policies in excess of 10% of
profits on participating business before payment of policyholder dividends. The
liability for these undistributed earnings was $5,816,000 and $6,074,000 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Participating business approximates
.2% of the Company's ordinary life insurance in force and 1.4% of premium
income. Earnings for participating insurance are based on the actual earnings of
the participation block of policies. Expenses and taxes are allocated based on
the amount of participating insurance in force. Investment income is allocated
based on the yield of the participating investment portfolio. The amount of
dividends to be paid is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts
allocable to participating policyholders are based on published dividend
projections or expected dividend scales. Dividends of $3,233,000; $3,377,000;
and $3,307,000 were incurred in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Deferred federal income taxes have been provided or credited to reflect
significant temporary differences between income reported for tax and financial
reporting purposes using reasonable assumptions.

$1,016,000 for 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.
GUARANTY FUND ASSESSMENTS
Insurance companies are assessed the costs of funding the insolvencies of other
insurance companies by the various state guaranty associations, generally based
on the amount of premium companies collect in that state. The Company accrues
the cost of future guaranty fund assessments based on estimates of insurance
company insolvencies provided by the National Organization of Life and Health
Insurance Guaranty Associations (NOLHGA) and the amount of premiums written in
each state. The Company reduces the accrual by credits allowed in some states to
reduce future premium taxes by a portion of assessments in that state.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the 1997 and 1996 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 1998 presentation.

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN TRADING
The Company enters into interest rate and currency contracts, including swaps,
caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks which include the risk of
a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, exchange rates or quantity of,
or a degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities, or future cash
flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. Hedge accounting practices are
supported by cash flow matching, scenario testing and duration matching.
Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and
floating interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of
the underlying principal amount. Currency swap agreements generally involve the
exchange of local and foreign currency payments over the life of the agreements
without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest rate cap and
interest rate floor agreements owned entitle the Company to receive payments to
the extent reference interest rates exceed or fall below strike levels in the
contracts based on the notional amounts.
Premiums paid for the purchase of interest rate contracts are included in other
assets and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of
the contracts or in a manner consistent with the financial instruments being
hedged. Amounts paid or received, if any, from such contracts are included in
interest expense or income. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from
counterparties are included in other liabilities or assets.
Gains and losses as a result of early terminations of interest rate contracts
are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the items being
hedged to the extent the hedge is considered to be effective; otherwise, they
are recognized upon termination.
Interest rate contracts that are matched or otherwise designated to be
associated with other financial instruments are recorded at fair value if the
related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are otherwise terminated or
if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges.
The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts
through careful evaluation of the counterparties' credit standing, collateral
agreements, and master netting agreements.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties on interest rate contracts; however, the Company does not
anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such
exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contacts.

4. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
At December 31, 1998, the Company held less-than-investment-grade bonds
classified as available-for-sale with a carrying value and market value of
$277,793,000. These holdings amounted to 7.9% of the Company's investments in
fixed maturity securities and 2.8% of total assets. The holdings of
less-than-investment-grade bonds are widely diversified and of satisfactory
quality based on the Company's investment policies and credit standards.
At December 31, 1998, the Company's mortgages involved a concentration of
properties located in Florida (15.5%), Texas (9.7%), and Georgia (7.5%). The
remaining mortgages relate to properties located in 35 other states. The
portfolio is well diversified, covering many different types of income-producing
properties on which the Company has first mortgage liens. The maximum mortgage
outstanding on any individual property is $16,068,000.

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company has a qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan
covering substantially all employees. In addition, the Company maintains a
non-qualified unfunded Supplemental Employees' Retirement Plan (SERP). In
addition to providing pension plans, the Company provides certain health care
and life insurance benefits for retired employees.

</TABLE>
As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company recognized an additional minimum
net liability on the SERP of $1,482,000 and $3,848,000, respectively, as this
plan is unfunded and the actuarial present value of accumulated benefit
obligation exceeds the net pension liability. Prior to 1998, the change in the
additional minimum net liability was reported in net income. Beginning in 1998,
the change in the additional minimum net liability is recorded net of tax as a
component of other comprehensive income directly in stockholder's equity, net of
tax.

The information for employer and plan participant contributions to the
postretirement plan for 1996 is not readily available.
Assumptions used in accounting for the defined benefit plans as of December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996 were as follows:
1998 1997 1996
-------------------------
Weighted-average discount rate 6.75% 7.25% 7.50%
Rate of increase in compensation level 4.00% 4.25% 4.50%
Expected long-term rate of return on assets 9.50% 9.50% 9.50%
Plan assets of the defined benefit plans at December 31, 1998 are invested
primarily in U.S. government securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds, mortgage
loans, money market funds and common stock.
The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits
(i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 9.75% graded to
5.25% over 9 years. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant
effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care
cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of
December 31, 1998 by $1,015,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1998 by
$136,000. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage
point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 1998 by $(862,000) and the
aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1998 by $(113,000).

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 6.75% at December 31, 1998 and 7.50% at
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
401(K) PLAN
The Security Life of Denver Insurance Company Savings Incentive Plan (the
Savings Plan) is a defined contribution plan which is available to substantially
all home office employees. Participants may make contributions to the plan
through salary reductions up to a maximum of $10,000 for 1998, and $9,500 for
both 1997 and 1996. Such contributions are not currently taxable to the
participants. The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of participants'
contributions, plus 50% of contributions which exceed 3% of participants'
compensation, subject to a maximum matching percentage of 4 1/2% of the
individual's salary. Company matching contributions were $1,343,000 for 1998,
$1,211,000 for 1997, and $1,143,000 for 1996.
Plan assets of the Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 are invested in a group
deposit administration contract (the Contract) with the Company, various stock
funds maintained by the Principal Financial Group, and loans to participants.
The Contract is a policyholder liability of the Company and had a balance of
$27.8 million and $26.6 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
6. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate account assets and liabilities represent funds segregated by the
Company for the benefit of certain policy and contract holders who bear the
investment risk. Revenues and expenses on the separate account assets and
related liabilities equal the benefits paid to the separate account policy and
contract holders, and are excluded from the amounts reported in the consolidated
statements of income except for fees charged for administration services and
mortality risk.

7. LEASES
In 1997, the Company terminated a significant operating lease agreement relating
to electronic data processing equipment due to outsourcing of computer
operations. The Company incurred $4,819,000 in lease expense in 1997 related to
that agreement prior to termination. The Company does not have any other
significant lease obligations. Total rental expense for all equipment leases was
approximately $0, $4,993,000 and $6,151,000 for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
8. REINSURANCE
The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other
companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger
risks. As of December 31, 1998, the Company's retention limit for acceptance of
risk on life insurance policies had been set at various levels up to $1,500,000.
Reinsurance premiums, commissions, and expense reimbursements related to
reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in
accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance
contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts, and are
consistent with the risks assumed.
To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their
obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its
policyholders for the portion retroceded. Consequently, allowances are
established for amounts deemed uncollectible. To minimize its exposure to
significant losses from retrocessionaire insolvencies, the Company evaluates the
financial condition of the retrocessionaire and monitors concentrations of
credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities, or economic
characteristics of the reinsurers. The use of reinsurance pools with
retrocessionaires also minimizes the Company's exposure to significant losses
from retrocessionaire insolvencies.
The Company assumes and cedes, on a coinsurance basis, guaranteed investment
contracts (GICs) to and from affiliates under common ownership. As of December
31, 1998, $2.7 billion of an affiliate's invested assets were held in trust
pursuant to these agreements.

</TABLE>
Ceded GIC policy liabilities totaling $3,210 and $2,635 million as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are classified as part of prepaid reinsurance
premiums.
During 1998 and 1997, the Company had ceded blocks of insurance under
reinsurance treaties to provide funds for financial and other purposes. These
reinsurance transactions, generally known as "financial reinsurance," represent
financial arrangements and, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements except
for the risk fees paid to or received from reinsurers. Financial reinsurance has
the effect of increasing current statutory surplus while reducing future
statutory surplus as amounts are recaptured from reinsurers. During 1998, the
Company entered into a new financial reinsurance contract with an affiliated
company.
9. INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its parent and
other U.S. affiliates and subsidiaries, with the exception of First ING. The
affiliated companies that join in the filing of the consolidated federal income
tax return have an agreement for the allocation of taxes between members that
join in the consolidated return. The agreement specifies that the separate
return payable or the separate return receivable of each member will be the
federal income tax payable or receivable that the member would have had for the
period had it filed a separate return.

9. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The Company had net income tax payments (receipts) of $18,283,000 during 1998,
$55,468,000 during 1997, and $(61,467,000) during 1996 for current income tax
payments and settlements of prior year returns.
The Policyholder's Surplus Account is an accumulation of certain special
deductions for income tax purposes and a portion of the "gains from operations"
which were not subject to current taxation under the Life Insurance Tax Act of
1959. At December 31, 1984, the balance in this account for tax return purposes
was approximately $70,800,000. The Tax Reform Act of 1984 provides that no
further accumulations will be made in this account. If amounts accumulated in
the Policyholder's Surplus Account exceed certain limits, or if distributions to
the stockholder exceed amounts in the Stockholder's Surplus Account, to the
extent of such excess amount or excess distributions, as determined for income
tax purposes, amounts in the Policyholder's Surplus Account would become subject
to income tax at rates in effect at that time. Should this occur, the maximum
tax which would be paid at the current tax rate is $24,780,000. The Company does
not anticipate any such action or foresee any events which would result in such
tax; accordingly, a deferred tax liability has not been established.
10. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term indebtedness to related parties for $100,000,000 represents the
cumulative cash draws on a $100,000,000 commitment from ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc. through December 31, 1998. This subordinated note bears interest
at a variable rate equal to the prevailing rate for 10-year U.S. Treasury Bonds
plus 1/4% adjusted annually.
The repayment of this note requires approval of the Commissioner of Insurance of
the State of Colorado and is payable only out of surplus funds of the Company
and only at such time as the surplus of the Company, after payment is made, does
not fall below the prescribed level.
The principal and interest is scheduled to be repaid in five annual installments
beginning April 15, 2000 and continuing through April 15, 2004, with the option
of prepaying any outstanding principal and accrued interest. As of December 31,
1998, the Company accrued interest of $5,387,000. Upon receiving approval from
the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Colorado, the Company made a
$5,128,000 payment for accrued interest during 1998. The Company recognized
interest expense of $5,387,000; $5,096,000; and $3,644,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

11. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING INFORMATION AND PRACTICES
Security Life and its insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory-basis
financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by their state of domicile. "Prescribed" statutory accounting
practices include state laws, regulations and general administrative rules, as
well as a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC). "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass all
accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices may differ from
state to state, from company to company within the state, and may change in the
future.
During 1998, the NAIC completed the process of codifying statutory accounting
practices ("Codification"). Codification will likely change, to some extent,
prescribed statutory accounting practices and may result in changes to the
accounting practices that Security Life uses to prepare its statutory-basis
financial statements. Codification will require adoption by the various states
before it becomes the prescribed statutory basis of accounting for insurance
companies domiciled within those states. Accordingly, before Codification
becomes effective for Security Life, the State of Colorado must adopt
Codification as the prescribed basis of accounting on which domestic insurers
must report their statutory-basis results to the Insurance Department. At this
time it is unknown whether the State of Colorado will adopt Codification.

11. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING INFORMATION AND PRACTICES (CONTINUED)
Prescribed statutory reserve methodology does not fully encompass universal
life-type products. The NAIC, however, has promulgated a Model Regulation
regarding Universal Life Reserves. The Colorado Division of Insurance has not
adopted the regulation, but requires that reserves be held which are at least as
great as those required by Colorado Statutes. The NAIC UL Model Regulation is
used by the Company to provide reserves consistent with the principles of this
article. Because the reserves satisfy the requirements prescribed by the State
of Colorado for the valuation of universal life insurance, the Company is
permitted to compute reserves in accordance with this model regulation.
The NAIC prescribes Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements for life/health
insurance companies. At December 31, 1998, the Company exceeded all minimum RBC
requirements.
Combined capital and surplus, determined in accordance with statutory accounting
practices (SAP), was $386,607,000 and $403,239,000 at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Combined net income, determined in accordance with SAP, was
$11,712,000; $22,261,000; and $9,141,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997, and 1996, respectively.
Security Life is required to maintain a minimum total statutory capital and
surplus in the state of domicile of $1,500,000. Midwestern United is required to
maintain minimum statutory capital of $200,000 and surplus of $250,000 in the
state of domicile. First ING is required to maintain minimum statutory capital
of $1,000,000 and paid-in surplus of at least 50% of paid-in capital in the
state of domicile. Each company exceeded its respective minimum statutory
capital and surplus requirements at December 31, 1998. Additionally, the amount
of dividends which can be paid by each company to its stockholder without prior
approval of the various state insurance departments is generally limited to the
greater of 10% of statutory surplus or the statutory net gain from operations.

12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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. In that regard, the derived fair value
estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in
many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.
Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company. Life insurance liabilities that contain
mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from disclosure
requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance
contracts are taken into consideration in the Company's overall management of
interest rate risk, such that the Company's exposure to changing interest rates
is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due
under insurance contracts.

12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximate their fair
values.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the
"fair value" disclosures for financial instruments:
FIXED MATURITIES AND EQUITY SECURITIES: The fair values for fixed maturities
(including redeemable preferred stocks) are based on quoted market prices,
where available. For fixed maturities not actively traded, fair values are
estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the
case of private placements and collateralized mortgage obligations and other
mortgage derivative investments, are estimated by discounting expected
future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors
such as yield, credit quality and maturity which fall within a range between
4.5% - 14.0% over the total portfolio. The fair values of equity securities
are based on quoted market prices.
MORTGAGE LOANS: Estimated market values for commercial real estate loans are
generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are
discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on
December 31 and spreads implied by independent published surveys. The same
is applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing
features of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on
option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial
valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation.
Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these are
discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk.
All residential loans are valued at their outstanding principal balances,
which approximate their fair values.
POLICY LOANS: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these
financial instruments approximate their fair values.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for on-balance-sheet
derivative financial instruments (caps and floors) and off-balance-sheet
derivative financial instruments (swaps) are based on broker/dealer
valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models taking into
account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties' credit
standing.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 107
<PAGE>
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
OTHER INVESTMENT-TYPE INSURANCE CONTRACTS: The fair values of the Company's
deferred annuity contracts are estimated based on the cash surrender value.
The carrying values of other liabilities, including immediate annuities,
dividend accumulations, supplementary contracts without life contingencies
and premium deposits, approximate their fair values.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS: The Company accepted additional deposits on
existing synthetic guaranteed investment contracts in the amounts of
$66,480,000 and $1,000,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, from trustees of
401(k) plans. Pursuant to the terms of these contracts, the trustees own and
retain the assets related to these contracts. Such assets had a value of
$433,689,000 and $493,757,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Under synthetic guaranteed investment contracts, the synthetic issuer may
assume interest rate risk on individual plan participant initiated
withdrawals from stable value options of 401(k) plans. Approximately 85% of
the synthetic guaranteed investment contract book values are on a
participating basis and have a credited interest rate reset mechanism which
passes such interest rate risk to plan participants.
LETTERS OF CREDIT
The Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $197,254,000
which have a market value to the Company of $0 and two lines of credit
totaling $284,471,000 which have a market value to the Company of $0 (see
Note 14).
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to pending or threatened lawsuits arising from the normal
conduct of its business. Due to the climate in insurance and business
litigation, suits against the Company sometimes include substantial additional
claims, consequential damages, punitive damages and other similar types of
relief. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such litigation, it
is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or interfere with
its operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
In 1998, the Company established an accrued liability of $40,000,000 related to
certain potential litigation similar to that faced by other major life insurers.
This litigation relates to sales practices of interest sensitive policies. The
Company is vigorously defending its position in these cases. No such litigation
reserve was established in 1997. While it is not possible to forecast the
outcome of such litigation, it is the opinion of management that the disposition
of such lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or interfere with its operations.
14. OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has a $144,471,000 line of credit issued by the Company's parent to
provide short-term liquidity. The Company has an additional non-affiliated line
of credit of $140,000,000, also to provide short-term liquidity, which expires
July 31, 1999. The amount of funds available under this line is reduced by
borrowings of certain affiliates also party to the agreement. There were no
outstanding borrowings under either of these agreements at December 31, 1998 or
1997. The weighted-average balance outstanding of short-term debt was $37.5
million during 1998. The weighted-average interest rate paid on this debt during
1998 was 5.63% (see Note 12).
The Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $197,254,000 that
were established in accordance with the terms of reinsurance agreements. Such
letters of credit are unconditional, irrevocable, and provide for automatic
renewal for the following year at December 31. The letters were unused during
both 1998 and 1997.
15. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
The Company has initiated a program to prepare its computer systems and
applications for the year 2000. This program includes all systems utilized by
the Company as well as the systems of other companies that interface with the
Company. The Company has completed modification and preliminary testing of
portions of its software so that its computer systems will function properly
with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The total Year 2000
project cost is estimated at approximately $6.4 million. To date the Company has
incurred approximately $2.6 million for the above activities. Accordingly, the
Company does not expect the amounts required for this project to have a material
effect on its financial position.

Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
15. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The project is estimated to be completed no later than June 1999, which is prior
to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The Company believes that
with modifications to existing software, and conversions to new software, the
Year 2000 will not pose significant operational problems for its computer
systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not
completed in a timely manner, it could have a material impact on the operations
of the Company.
The Company has initiated formal communications and interface testing plans with
all of its suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which its
interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to have their
systems Year 2000 compatible and will act accordingly to prevent operational
disruptions.

Board of Directors and Stockholder
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Life of
Denver Insurance Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder's
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Security Life of
Denver Insurance Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and
operations, after intercompany eliminations, of Security Life of Denver
Insurance Company (Security Life) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Midwestern
United Life Insurance Company (Midwestern United); First ING Life Insurance
Company of New York (First ING); First Secured Mortgage Deposit Corporation; and
ING America Equities, Inc.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the Company) is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (ING America).
The Company focuses on two markets, the advanced market and reinsurance to other
insurers. The life insurance products offered for the advanced market include
wealth transfer and estate planning, executive benefits, charitable giving and
corporate owned life insurance. These products include traditional life,
interest sensitive life, universal life and variable life. Operations are
conducted almost entirely on the general agency basis and the Company is
presently licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York),
the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. In the reinsurance market, the
Company offers financial security to clients through a mix of total risk
management and traditional life insurance services.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that materially
affect the financial statements are summarized below:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which, as to the
insurance companies included in the consolidation, differ from statutory
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory
authorities.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
During June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement was effective for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after December 31, 1996. Also in 1996, the FASB issued Statement No. 127, which
delayed certain provisions of FAS 125 dealing with transactions such as
securities lending, repurchase and dollar repurchase agreements until 1998. The
portion of FAS 125 that became effective in 1997 requires the entity to
recognize financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has
incurred and to derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered
in accordance with the criteria provided in the Statement. The application of
the new rules did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also addresses the valuation for
long-lived assets that are identified for disposal. Adoption of this standard
resulted in an insignificant impact to net income and stockholder's equity.
During 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 132, Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits. This
Statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997, with the
restatement of disclosures for prior periods provided for comparative purposes,
unless prior period information is not readily available.
During 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, which requires an entity to divide comprehensive income into net income
and other comprehensive income in the period recognized. This Statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with the
restatement of prior period disclosures for comparative purposes. As a result of
implementing this Statement, the Company has classified items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in the statements of comprehensive income
and the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income in the equity section
of the balance sheet. This Statement affects the presentation of the financial
statements, with no effect on the valuation of total stockholder's equity.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
During 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes a new model for
accounting and reporting for derivatives and hedging activities. Statement 133
requires all derivatives to be recognized on the balance sheet and measured at
fair value. Based on the type of hedging relationship (fair value, cash flow, or
foreign currency), Statement 133 requires the recognition of offsetting changes
in value or cash flows of both the derivative and the hedged item in earnings in
the same period. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not
designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in
Statement 133 are included in earnings in the period of change. In June 1999,
the FASB issued Statement No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,
which delayed the effective date of Statement 133 until June 15, 2000. Upon the
initial application of Statement 133 all derivatives are required to be
recognized in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measured at
fair value. The Company plans to adopt this Statement during 2000, and the
effect of implementation on the Company's financial statements has not yet been
determined.
INVESTMENTS
Investments are presented on the following bases:
The carrying value of fixed maturities depends on the classification of the
security: securities held-to-maturity, securities available-for-sale, and
trading securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of
debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as
of each balance sheet date.
The Company does not hold any securities classified as held-to-maturity or
trading securities.
Debt securities and marketable equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value,
with the unrealized gains and losses, and deferred policy acquisition cost
adjustments, reported net of tax as a component of other comprehensive
income in stockholder's equity.

Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities,
over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in
interest income from investments. Interest and dividends are included in
net investment income as earned.
Mortgage loans are carried at the unpaid balances less an allowance for
credit losses. Investment real estate is carried at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Policy loans are carried at unpaid balances.
Derivatives are accounted for on the same basis as the asset hedged.
Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary are included in net realized gains on investments. The
cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
RECOGNITION OF PREMIUM REVENUES
Premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those products
with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist principally of whole
life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Revenues for
universal life insurance policies and for investment products consist of policy
charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, and surrender
charges assessed against policyholder account balances during the year.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Commissions, reinsurance allowances, and other costs of acquiring traditional
life insurance, including reinsurance assumed, universal life insurance
(including interest sensitive products) and investment products that vary with
and are primarily related to the production of new and renewal business, have
been deferred. Traditional life insurance acquisition costs are being amortized
using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit
reserves. The period of amortization is normally over the premium-paying period.
In the case of policies with no first year premium, the period of amortization
includes the first year, in addition to the premium-paying period. For universal
life insurance and investment products, acquisition costs are being amortized
generally in proportion to the present value (using the assumed crediting rate)
of expected

gross margins from surrender charges, investments, mortality, and expenses. This
amortization is adjusted retrospectively when estimates of current or future
gross margins to be realized from a group of products are revised.
Deferred policy acquisition costs are adjusted to reflect changes that would
have been necessary if unrealized investment gains and losses related to
available-for-sale securities had been realized. The Company has reflected those
adjustments in the asset balance with the offset as a direct adjustment to
accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholder's equity.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Benefit reserves for traditional life insurance products (other than reinsurance
assumed) are computed using a net level premium method including assumptions as
to investment yields, mortality, withdrawals and other assumptions based on
Company and industry experience. These assumptions include provisions for
adverse deviation and are modified as necessary to reflect anticipated trends.
Reserve interest assumptions are those deemed appropriate at the time of policy
issue, and range from 3% to 7.5%. Policy benefit claims are charged to expense
in the year that the claims are incurred.
Benefit reserves for reinsurance assumed are computed using pricing assumptions
with provisions for adverse deviation. Benefits for level-term reinsurance
assumed are computed to recognize profits in proportion with revenue. Benefit
reserves for all other reinsurance assumed are computed to recognize profits in
proportion to the coverage provided.
Benefit reserves for universal life-type policies (including fixed premium
interest sensitive products) and investment products are computed under a
retrospective deposit method and represent policy account balances before
applicable surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to
expense include benefit claims incurred during the year in excess of related
policy account balances. Interest crediting rates for universal life and
investment products range from 3.80% to 7.81% during 1998, 4.60% to 7.81% during
1997, and 4.60% to 7.45% during 1996.
Included in life and annuity reserves is an unearned revenue reserve that
reflects the unamortized balance of excess heaped expense loads over ultimate
renewal expense loads on universal life and investment products. These excess
fees have been deferred and are being recognized in income over the periods
benefited, using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize deferred
policy acquisition costs.

POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS
The liabilities for unpaid claims include estimates of amounts due on reported
claims and claims that have been incurred but were not reported as of December
31. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical
claim payment data and are considered reasonable and adequate to discharge the
Company's obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the
estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the assets' carrying value.
Depreciation for major classes of assets is calculated on a straight-line basis.
PARTICIPATING INSURANCE
The Company accrues a liability for earnings on participating policies that
cannot inure to the benefit of the Company's stockholder. The liability is
determined based on earnings on participating policies in excess of 10% of
profits on participating business before payment of policyholder dividends. The
liability for these undistributed earnings was $5,816,000 and $6,074,000 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Participating business approximates
.2% of the Company's ordinary life insurance in force and 1.4% of premium
income. Earnings for participating insurance are based on the actual earnings of
the participation block of policies. Expenses and taxes are allocated based on
the amount of participating insurance in force. Investment income is allocated
based on the yield of the participating investment portfolio. The amount of
dividends to be paid is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts
allocable to participating policyholders are based on published dividend
projections or expected dividend scales. Dividends of $3,233,000, $3,377,000,
and $3,307,000 were incurred in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Deferred federal income taxes have been provided or credited to reflect
significant temporary differences between income reported for tax and financial
reporting purposes using reasonable assumptions.

GUARANTY FUND ASSESSMENTS
Insurance companies are assessed the costs of funding the insolvencies of other
insurance companies by the various state guaranty associations, generally based
on the amount of premium companies collect in that state. The Company accrues
the cost of future guaranty fund assessments based on estimates of insurance
company insolvencies provided by the National Organization of Life and Health
Insurance Guaranty Associations (NOLHGA) and the amount of premiums written in
each state. The Company reduces the accrual by credits allowed in some states to
reduce future premium taxes by a portion of assessments in that state.

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN TRADING
The Company enters into interest rate and currency contracts, including swaps,
caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks which include the risk of
a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, exchange rates or quantity of,
or a degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities, or future cash
flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. Hedge accounting practices are
supported by cash flow matching, scenario testing and duration matching.
Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and
floating interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of
the underlying principal amount. Currency swap agreements generally involve the
exchange of local and foreign currency payments over the life of the agreements
without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest rate cap and
interest rate floor agreements owned entitle the Company to receive payments to
the extent reference interest rates exceed or fall below strike levels in the
contracts based on the notional amounts.
Premiums paid for the purchase of interest rate contracts are included in other
assets and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of
the contracts or in a manner consistent with the financial instruments being
hedged. Amounts paid or received, if any, from such contracts are included in
interest expense or income. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from
counterparties are included in other liabilities or assets.
Gains and losses as a result of early terminations of interest rate contracts
are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the items being
hedged to the extent the hedge is considered to be effective; otherwise, they
are recognized upon termination.
Interest rate contracts that are matched or otherwise designated to be
associated with other financial instruments are recorded at fair value if the
related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are otherwise terminated or
if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges.
The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts
through careful evaluation of the counterparties' credit standing, collateral
agreements, and master netting agreements.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties on interest rate contracts; however, the Company does not
anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such
exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contacts.

At December 31, 1998, the Company held less-than-investment-grade bonds
classified as available-for-sale with a carrying value and market value of
$277,793,000. These holdings amounted to 7.9% of the Company's investments in
fixed maturity securities and 2.8% of total assets. The holdings of
less-than-investment-grade bonds are widely diversified and of satisfactory
quality based on the Company's investment policies and credit standards.
At December 31, 1998, the Company's mortgages involved a concentration of
properties located in Florida (15.5%), Texas (9.7%), and Georgia (7.5%). The
remaining mortgages relate to properties located in 35 other states. The
portfolio is well diversified, covering many different types of income-producing
properties on which the Company has first mortgage liens. The maximum mortgage
outstanding on any individual property is $16,068,000.

The Company has a qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan
covering substantially all employees. In addition, the Company maintains a
non-qualified unfunded Supplemental Employees' Retirement Plan (SERP). In
addition to providing pension plans, the Company provides certain health care
and life insurance benefits for retired employees.

As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company recognized an additional minimum
net liability on the SERP of $1,482,000 and $3,848,000, respectively, as this
plan is unfunded and the actuarial present value of accumulated benefit
obligation exceeds the net pension liability. Prior to 1998, the change in the
additional minimum net liability was reported in net income. Beginning in 1998,
the change in the additional minimum net liability is recorded net of tax as a
component of other comprehensive income directly in stockholder's equity, net of
tax.

Plan assets of the defined benefit plans at December 31, 1998 are invested
primarily in U.S. government securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds, mortgage
loans, money market funds and common stock.
The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits
(i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 9.75% graded to
5.25% over 9 years. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant
effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care
cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of
December 31, 1998 by $1,015,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1998 by
$136,000. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage
point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 1998 by $(862,000) and the

interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1998 by
$(113,000).
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 6.75% at December 31, 1998 and 7.50% at
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
401(K) PLAN
The Security Life of Denver Insurance Company Savings Incentive Plan (the
Savings Plan) is a defined contribution plan which is available to substantially
all home office employees. Participants may make contributions to the plan
through salary reductions up to a maximum of $10,000 for 1998, and $9,500 for
both 1997 and 1996. Such contributions are not currently taxable to the
participants. The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of participants'
contributions, plus 50% of contributions which exceed 3% of participants'
compensation, subject to a maximum matching percentage of 4 1/2% of the
individual's salary. Company matching contributions were $1,343,000 for 1998,
$1,211,000 for 1997, and $1,143,000 for 1996.
Plan assets of the Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 are invested in a group
deposit administration contract (the Contract) with the Company, various stock
funds maintained by the Principal Financial Group, and loans to participants.
The Contract is a policyholder liability of the Company and had a balance of
$27.8 million and $26.6 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
6. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate account assets and liabilities represent funds segregated by the
Company for the benefit of certain policy and contract holders who bear the
investment risk. Revenues and expenses on the separate account assets and
related liabilities equal the benefits paid to the separate account policy and
contract holders, and are excluded from the amounts reported in the consolidated
statements of income except for fees charged for administration services and
mortality risk.

7. LEASES
In 1997, the Company terminated a significant operating lease agreement relating
to electronic data processing equipment due to outsourcing of computer
operations. The Company incurred $4,819,000 in lease expense in 1997 related to
that agreement prior to termination. The Company does not have any other
significant lease obligations. Total rental expense for all equipment leases was
approximately $0, $4,993,000 and $6,151,000 for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
8. REINSURANCE
The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other
companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger
risks. As of December 31, 1998, the Company's retention limit for acceptance of
risk on life insurance policies had been set at various levels up to $1,500,000.
Reinsurance premiums, commissions, and expense reimbursements related to
reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in
accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance
contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts, and are
consistent with the risks assumed.
To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their
obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its
policyholders for the portion retroceded. Consequently, allowances are
established for amounts deemed uncollectible. To minimize its exposure to
significant losses from retrocessionaire insolvencies, the Company evaluates the
financial condition of the retrocessionaire and monitors concentrations of
credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities, or economic
characteristics of the reinsurers. The use of reinsurance pools with
retrocessionaires also minimizes the Company's exposure to significant losses
from retrocessionaire insolvencies.
The Company assumes and cedes, on a coinsurance basis, guaranteed investment
contracts (GICs) to and from affiliates under common ownership. As of December
31, 1998, $2.7 billion of an affiliate's invested assets were held in trust
pursuant to these agreements.

Ceded GIC policy liabilities totaling $3,210 and $2,635 million as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are classified as part of prepaid reinsurance
premiums.
During 1998 and 1997, the Company had ceded blocks of insurance under
reinsurance treaties to provide funds for financial and other purposes. These
reinsurance transactions, generally known as "financial reinsurance," represent
financial arrangements and, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements except
for the risk fees paid to or received from reinsurers. Financial reinsurance has
the effect of increasing current statutory surplus while reducing future
statutory surplus as amounts are recaptured from reinsurers. During 1998, the
Company entered into a new financial reinsurance contract with an affiliated
company.
9. INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its parent and
other U.S. affiliates and subsidiaries, with the exception of First ING. The
affiliated companies that join in the filing of the consolidated federal income
tax return have an agreement for the allocation of taxes between members that
join in the consolidated return. The agreement specifies that the separate
return payable or the separate return receivable of each member will be the
federal income tax payable or receivable that the member would have had for the
period had it filed a separate return.

9. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The Company had net income tax payments (receipts) of $18,283,000 during 1998,
$55,468,000 during 1997, and $(61,467,000) during 1996 for current income tax
payments and settlements of prior year returns.
The Policyholder's Surplus Account is an accumulation of certain special
deductions for income tax purposes and a portion of the "gains from operations"
which were not subject to current taxation under the Life Insurance Tax Act of
1959. At December 31, 1984, the balance in this account for tax return purposes
was approximately $70,800,000. The Tax Reform Act of 1984 provides that no
further accumulations will be made in this account. If amounts accumulated in
the Policyholder's Surplus Account exceed certain limits, or if distributions to
the stockholder exceed amounts in the Stockholder's Surplus Account, to the
extent of such excess amount or excess distributions, as determined for income
tax purposes, amounts in the Policyholder's Surplus Account would become subject
to income tax at rates in effect at that time. Should this occur, the maximum
tax which would be paid at the current tax rate is $24,780,000. The Company does
not anticipate any such action or foresee any events which would result in such
tax; accordingly, a deferred tax liability has not been established.
10. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term indebtedness to related parties for $100,000,000 represents the
cumulative cash draws on a $100,000,000 commitment from ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc. through December 31, 1998. This subordinated note bears interest
at a variable rate equal to the prevailing rate for 10-year U.S. Treasury Bonds
plus 1/4% adjusted annually.
The repayment of this note requires approval of the Commissioner of Insurance of
the State of Colorado and is payable only out of surplus funds of the Company
and only at such time as the surplus of the Company, after payment is made, does
not fall below the prescribed level.
The principal and interest is scheduled to be repaid in five annual installments
beginning April 15, 2000 and continuing through April 15, 2004, with the option
of prepaying any outstanding principal and accrued interest. As of December 31,
1998, the Company accrued interest of $5,387,000. Upon receiving approval from
the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Colorado, the Company made a
$5,128,000 payment for accrued interest during 1998. The Company recognized
interest expense of $5,387,000, $5,096,000, and $3,644,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

11. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING INFORMATION AND PRACTICES
Security Life and its insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory-basis
financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by their state of domicile. "Prescribed" statutory accounting
practices include state laws, regulations and general administrative rules, as
well as a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC). "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass all
accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices may differ from
state to state, from company to company within the state, and may change in the
future.
During 1998, the NAIC completed the process of codifying statutory accounting
practices ("Codification"). Codification will likely change, to some extent,
prescribed statutory accounting practices and may result in changes to the
accounting practices that Security Life uses to prepare its statutory-basis
financial statements. Codification will require adoption by the various states
before it becomes the prescribed statutory basis of accounting for insurance
companies domiciled within those states. Accordingly, before Codification
becomes effective for Security Life, the State of Colorado must adopt
Codification as the prescribed basis of accounting on which domestic insurers
must report their statutory-basis results to the Insurance Department. At this
time it is unknown whether the State of Colorado will adopt Codification.

11. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING INFORMATION AND PRACTICES (CONTINUED)
Prescribed statutory reserve methodology does not fully encompass universal
life-type products. The NAIC, however, has promulgated a Model Regulation
regarding Universal Life Reserves. The Colorado Division of Insurance has not
adopted the regulation, but requires that reserves be held which are at least as
great as those required by Colorado Statutes. The NAIC UL Model Regulation is
used by the Company to provide reserves consistent with the principles of this
article. Because the reserves satisfy the requirements prescribed by the State
of Colorado for the valuation of universal life insurance, the Company is
permitted to compute reserves in accordance with this model regulation.
The NAIC prescribes Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements for life/health
insurance companies. At December 31, 1998, the Company exceeded all minimum RBC
requirements.
Combined capital and surplus, determined in accordance with statutory accounting
practices (SAP), was $386,607,000 and $403,239,000 at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Combined net income, determined in accordance with SAP, was
$11,712,000, $22,261,000, and $9,141,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997, and 1996, respectively.
Security Life is required to maintain a minimum total statutory capital and
surplus in the state of domicile of $1,500,000. Midwestern United is required to
maintain minimum statutory capital of $200,000 and surplus of $250,000 in the
state of domicile. First ING is required to maintain minimum statutory capital
of $1,000,000 and paid-in surplus of at least 50% of paid-in capital in the
state of domicile. Each company exceeded its respective minimum statutory
capital and surplus requirements at December 31, 1998. Additionally, the amount
of dividends which can be paid by each company to its stockholder without prior
approval of the various state insurance departments is generally limited to the
greater of 10% of statutory surplus or the statutory net gain from operations.

12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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. In that regard, the derived fair value
estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in
many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.
Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company. Life insurance liabilities that contain
mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from disclosure
requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance
contracts are taken into consideration in the Company's overall management of
interest rate risk, such that the Company's exposure to changing interest rates
is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due
under insurance contracts.

12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximate their fair
values.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the
"fair value" disclosures for financial instruments:
FIXED MATURITIES AND EQUITY SECURITIES: The fair values for fixed maturities
(including redeemable preferred stocks) are based on quoted market prices,
where available. For fixed maturities not actively traded, fair values are
estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the
case of private placements and collateralized mortgage obligations and other
mortgage derivative investments, are estimated by discounting expected
future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors
such as yield, credit quality and maturity which fall within a range between
4.5% - 14.0% over the total portfolio.
The fair values of equity securities are based on quoted market prices.
MORTGAGE LOANS: Estimated market values for commercial real estate loans are
generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are
discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on
December 31 and spreads implied by independent published surveys. The same
is applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing
features of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on
option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial
valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation.
Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these are
discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk.
All residential loans are valued at their outstanding principal balances,
which approximate their fair values.
POLICY LOANS: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these
financial instruments approximate their fair values.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for on-balance-sheet
derivative financial instruments (caps and floors) and off-balance-sheet
derivative financial instruments (swaps) are based on broker/dealer
valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models taking into
account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties' credit
standing.

Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life 147
<PAGE>
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
OTHER INVESTMENT-TYPE INSURANCE CONTRACTS: The fair values of the Company's
deferred annuity contracts are estimated based on the cash surrender value.
The carrying values of other liabilities, including immediate annuities,
dividend accumulations, supplementary contracts without life contingencies
and premium deposits, approximate their fair values.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS: The Company accepted additional deposits on
existing synthetic guaranteed investment contracts in the amounts of
$66,480,000 and $1,000,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, from trustees of
401(k) plans. Pursuant to the terms of these contracts, the trustees own and
retain the assets related to these contracts. Such assets had a value of
$433,689,000 and $493,757,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Under synthetic guaranteed investment contracts, the synthetic issuer may
assume interest rate risk on individual plan participant initiated
withdrawals from stable value options of 401(k) plans. Approximately 85% of
the synthetic guaranteed investment contract book values are on a
participating basis and have a credited interest rate reset mechanism which
passes such interest rate risk to plan participants.
LETTERS OF CREDIT
The Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $197,254,000
which have a market value to the Company of $0 and two lines of credit
totaling $284,471,000 which have a market value to the Company of $0 (see
Note 14).
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to pending or threatened lawsuits arising from the normal
conduct of its business. Due to the climate in insurance and business
litigation, suits against the Company sometimes include substantial additional
claims, consequential damages, punitive damages and other similar types of
relief. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such litigation, it
is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or interfere with
its operations.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
In 1998, the Company established an accrued liability of $40,000,000 related to
certain potential litigation similar to that faced by other major life insurers.
This litigation relates to sales practices of interest sensitive policies. The
Company is vigorously defending its position in these cases. No such litigation
reserve was established in 1997. While it is not possible to forecast the
outcome of such litigation, it is the opinion of management that the disposition
of such lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or interfere with its operations.
14. OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has a $144,471,000 line of credit issued by the Company's parent to
provide short-term liquidity. The Company has an additional non-affiliated line
of credit of $140,000,000, also to provide short-term liquidity, which expires
July 31, 1999. The amount of funds available under this line is reduced by
borrowings of certain affiliates also party to the agreement. There were no
outstanding borrowings under either of these agreements at December 31, 1998 or
1997. The weighted-average balance outstanding of short-term debt was $37.5
million during 1998. The weighted-average interest rate paid on this debt during
1998 was 5.63% (see Note 12).
The Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $197,254,000 that
were established in accordance with the terms of reinsurance agreements. Such
letters of credit are unconditional, irrevocable, and provide for automatic
renewal for the following year at December 31. The letters were unused during
both 1998 and 1997.
15. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company is aware of the computer problems that
may exist surrounding the Year 2000. Our senior management is committed to
ensuring that information processing and delivery systems will be Year 2000
compliant before December 31, 1999.
Our project team implemented the Year 2000 project plan which included the
analysis, remediation and testing of our in-house source code. We followed our
normal project management methodology, including communication with senior
management on a monthly and as-needed basis and we allocated sufficient funds to
ensure Year 2000 processing capabilities. On June 28, 1999, the analysis,
remediation and system testing phases of the plan were completed. We will
continue to do precautionary testing throughout 1999.

the INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. (comprising the Total Return,
Industrial Income, High Yield, Utilities and Small Company Growth Divisions)
("INVESCO"), the Van Eck Worldwide Trust (comprising the Worldwide Balanced,
Worldwide Hard Assets, Worldwide Bond, Worldwide Emerging Markets and Worldwide
Real Estate Divisions) ("Van Eck") and AIM Advisors, Inc. (comprising the
Capital Appreciation and Government Securities Divisions) ("AIM")) as of
December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations and changes in net
assets for each of the three years in the period then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits 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. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1998, by correspondence with
the transfer agents. 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Security Life Separate Account
L1 at December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and changes in its
net assets for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Security Life Separate Account L1
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
NOTE A. ORGANIZATION
Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "Separate Account") was established by
resolution of the Board of Directors of Security Life of Denver Insurance
Company (the "Company") on November 3, 1993. The Separate Account is organized
as a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Separate Account supports the operations of the FirstLine and Strategic
Advantage Variable Universal Life ("FirstLine and Strategic Advantage") policies
offered by the Company. The Separate Account may be used to support other
variable life policies as they are offered by the Company. The assets of the
Separate Account are the property of the Company. However, the portion of the
Separate Account's assets attributable to the policies will not be used to
satisfy liabilities arising out of any other operations of the Company.
As of December 31, 1998, the Separate Account offered twenty-three investment
divisions available to the policyholders, each of which invests in an
independently managed mutual fund portfolio ("Fund"). The Funds are as follows:
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS/PORTFOLIOS (FUNDS)
Neuberger Berman Management Incorporated (NB)
Neuberger Berman Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio
Neuberger Berman Growth Portfolio
Neuberger Berman Partners Portfolio
Fred Alger Management, Inc. (Alger)

Security Life Separate Account L1
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE A. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
The FirstLine and FirstLine policies allow the policyholders to specify the
allocation of their net premium to the various Funds. They can also transfer
their account values among the Funds. The FirstLine and Strategic Advantage
products also provide the policyholders the option to allocate their net
premiums, or to transfer their account values, to a Guaranteed Interest Division
("GID") in the Company's general account. The GID guarantees a rate of interest
to the policyholder, and it is not variable in nature. Therefore, it is not
included in these Separate Account statements.
NOTE B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements of the Separate Account have been prepared
on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The significant accounting principles followed by the Separate Account and the
methods of applying those principles are presented below or in the footnotes
which follow:
INVESTMENT VALUATION--The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at the
closing net asset value (market value) per share as determined by the Funds on
the day of measurement.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME--The investments in shares
of the Funds are accounted for on the date the order to buy or sell is
confirmed. Dividend income and distributions of capital gains are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from sales transactions are
reported using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method of accounting for cost.
The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the
day of measurement is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on investment.
VALUATION PERIOD DEDUCTIONS--Charges are made directly against the assets of the
Separate Account divisions and are reflected daily in the computation of the
unit values of the divisions.

Security Life Separate Account L1
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A daily deduction, at an annual rate of .75% of the daily asset value of the
Separate Account divisions, is charged to the Separate Account for mortality and
expense risks assumed by the Company. Total mortality and expense charges for
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $1,740,661; $813,630 and
$241,127, respectively.
POLICYHOLDER RESERVES--Policyholder reserves are recorded in the Separate
Account at the aggregate account values of the policyholders invested in the
Separate Account divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the
policyholders exceed their account values, the Company will contribute
additional funds to the benefit proceeds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE C. INVESTMENTS
Fund shares are purchased at net asset value with net premiums (premium
payments, less sales and tax loads charged by the Company) and divisional
transfers from other divisions. Fund shares are redeemed for the payment of
benefits, for surrenders, for transfers to other divisions, and for charges by
the Company for certain cost of insurance and administrative charges. The cost
of insurance and administrative charges for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996 were $14,458,798; $8,284,944 and $2,843,666, respectively.
Dividends made by the Funds are reinvested in the Funds.

NOTE D. OTHER POLICY DEDUCTIONS
The FirstLine and Strategic Advantage products provide for certain deductions
for sales and tax loads from premium payments received from the policyholders
and for surrender charges and taxes from amounts paid to policyholders. Such
deductions are taken before the purchase of divisional units or after the
redemption of divisional units of the Separate Account. Such deductions are not
included in the Separate Account financial statements.
NOTE E. POLICY LOANS
The FirstLine and Strategic Advantage policies allow the policyholders to borrow
against their policies by using them as collateral for a loan. At the time of
borrowing against the policies, an amount equal to the loan amount is
transferred from the Separate Account divisions to a Loan Division in the
Company's General Account to secure the loan. As payments are made on the policy
loan, amounts are transferred back from the Loan Division to the Separate
Account divisions. Interest is credited to the balance in the Loan Division at a
fixed rate. The Loan Division is not variable in nature and is not included in
these Separate Account statements.
NOTE F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Separate Account is not taxed separately because the operations of the
Separate Account are part of the total operations of the Company. The Company is
taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Separate
Account is not taxed as a "Regulated Investment Company" under subchapter "M" of
the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE I. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
The Company has initiated a program to prepare the Company's computer systems
and applications for the year 2000. This program includes all systems utilized
by the Company as well as the systems of other companies that interface with the
Company. The Company has completed an assessment and is in the process of
modifying portions of its software so that its computer systems will function
properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. Accordingly, the
Company does not expect the amounts required for this project to have a material
effect on its financial position.
The project is estimated to be completed no later than June 1999, which is prior
to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The Company believes that
with modifications to existing software, and conversions to new software, the
Year 2000 will not pose significant operational problems for its computer
software systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made,
or are not completed in a timely manner, it could have a material impact on the
operations of the Company.
The Company has initiated formal communications and interface testing plans with
all of its suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which its
interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to have their
systems Year 2000 compatible and will act accordingly to prevent operational
disruptions.

September 30, 1999
NOTE A. ORGANIZATION
Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "Separate Account") was established by
resolution of the Board of Directors of Security Life of Denver Insurance
Company (the "Company") on November 3, 1993. The Separate Account is organized
as a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Separate Account supports the operations of the FirstLine Variable Universal
Life, Strategic Advantage Variable Universal Life and Variable Survivor
Universal Life ("Variable Universal Life Policies") policies offered by the
Company. The Separate Account may be used to support other variable life
policies as they are offered by the Company. The assets of the Separate Account
are the property of the Company. However, the portion of the Separate Account's
assets attributable to the policies will not be used to satisfy liabilities
arising out of any other operations of the Company.
As of September 30, 1999, the Separate Account offered twenty-three investment
divisions available to the policyholders, each of which invests in an
independently managed mutual fund portfolio ("Fund"). The Funds are as follows:
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS/PORTFOLIOS (FUNDS)
Neuberger Berman Management Incorporated (NB)
Neuberger Berman Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio
Neuberger Berman Growth Portfolio
Neuberger Berman Partners Portfolio
Fred Alger Management, Inc. (Alger)

The Variable Universal Life Policies allow the policyholders to specify the
allocation of their net premium to the various Funds. They can also transfer
their account values among the Funds. The Variable Universal Life Policies also
provide the policyholders the option to allocate their net premiums, or to
transfer their account values, to a Guaranteed Interest Division ("GID") in the
Company's general account. The GID guarantees a rate of interest to the
policyholder, and it is not variable in nature. Therefore, it is not included in
these Separate Account statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements of the Separate Account have been prepared
on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The significant accounting principles followed by the Separate Account and the
methods of applying those principles are presented below or in the footnotes
which follow:
INVESTMENT VALUATION--The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at the
closing net asset value (market value) per share as determined by the Funds on
the day of measurement.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME--The investments in shares
of the Funds are accounted for on the date the order to buy or sell is
confirmed. Dividend income and distributions of capital gains are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from sales transactions are
reported using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method of accounting for cost.
The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the
day of measurement is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on investment.
VALUATION PERIOD DEDUCTIONS--Charges are made directly against the assets of the
Separate Account divisions and are reflected daily in the computation of the
unit values of the divisions.

NOTE B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A daily deduction, at an annual rate of .75% of the daily asset value of the
Separate Account divisions, is charged to the Separate Account for mortality and
expense risks assumed by the Company. Total mortality and expense charged for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $2,046,339.
POLICYHOLDER RESERVES--Policyholder reserves are recorded in the Separate
Account at the aggregate account values of the policyholders invested in the
Separate Account divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the
policyholders exceed their account values, the Company will contribute
additional funds to the benefit proceeds.

NOTE C. INVESTMENTS
Fund shares are purchased at net asset value with net premiums (premium
payments, less sales and tax loads charged by the Company) and divisional
transfers from other divisions. Fund shares are redeemed for the payment of
benefits, for surrenders, for transfers to other divisions, and for charges by
the Company for certain cost of insurance and administrative charges. The cost
of insurance and administrative charges for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 was $14,797,978. Dividends made by the Funds are reinvested in the Funds.

NOTE D. OTHER POLICY DEDUCTIONS
The Variable Universal Life Policies provide for certain deductions for sales
and tax loads from premium payments received from the policyholders and for
surrender charges and taxes from amounts paid to policyholders. Such deductions
are taken before the purchase of divisional units or after the redemption of
divisional units of the Separate Account. Such deductions are not included in
the Separate Account financial statements.
NOTE E. POLICY LOANS
The Variable Universal Life Policies allow the policyholders to borrow against
their policies by using them as collateral for a loan. At the time of borrowing
against the policies, an amount equal to the loan amount is transferred from the
Separate Account divisions to a Loan Division in the Company's General Account
to secure the loan. As payments are made on the policy loan, amounts are
transferred back from the Loan Division to the Separate Account divisions.
Interest is credited to the balance in the Loan Division at a fixed rate. The
Loan Division is not variable in nature and is not included in these Separate
Account statements.
NOTE F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Separate Account is not taxed separately because the operations of the
Separate Account are part of the total operations of the Company. The Company is
taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Separate
Account is not taxed as a "Regulated Investment Company" under subchapter "M" of
the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE I. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company is aware of the computer problems that
may exist surrounding the Year 2000. Our senior management is committed to
ensuring that information processing and delivery systems will be Year 2000
compliant before December 31, 1999. Our project team continues to implement the
Year 2000 project plan which includes the analysis, remediation and testing of
our in-house source code. The project plan covers Security Life, ING America
Equities, Inc., Midwestern United Life Insurance Company and First ING Life
Insurance Company of New York. We will follow our normal project management
methodology, including communication with senior management on a monthly and
as-needed basis. Funds have been allocated for these efforts, and we are
confident we have sufficient resources to ensure Year 2000 processing
capabilities.
The analysis, remediation and system testing phases of the plan were completed
by June 28, 1999. We will continue to do precautionary testing throughout 1999.
However, there is no assurance Security Life will be successful, or that
interaction with other service providers will not impact our services.

APPENDIX B
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
POLICY PERFORMANCE
The following hypothetical illustrations demonstrate how the actual investment
experience of each variable investment option of the variable account affects
the cash surrender value, account value and death benefit of a policy. These
hypothetical illustrations are based on the actual historical return of each
portfolio as if a policy had been issued on the date indicated. Each portfolio's
Annual Total Return is based on the total return calculated for each fiscal
year. These Annual Total Return figures reflect the portfolio's management fees
and other operating expenses but do not reflect the policy level or Variable
Account asset-based charges and deductions, which if reflected, would result in
lower total return figures than those shown.
The illustrations are based on the payment of a $5,750 annual premium, paid at
the beginning of each year, for a hypothetical policy with a $300,000 face
amount death benefit Option 1, issued on a nonsmoker male, Age 45. It is assumed
that all premiums are allocated to the investment option illustrated for the
period shown. The benefits are calculated for a specific date. The amount and
timing of premium payments and the use of other policy features, such as policy
loans, would affect individual policy benefits.
The amounts shown for the cash surrender values, account values and death
benefits take into account the charges against premiums, current cost of
insurance and monthly deductions, the daily charge against the Variable Account
for mortality and expense risks, and each portfolio's charges and expenses. See
Charges, page 42. This prospectus also contains illustrations based on assumed
rates of return. See Illustrations of Death Benefits, Account Values, Surrender
Values and Accumulated Premiums, page 51.

PART II
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
UNDERTAKING REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION
Please refer to the Articles of Incorporation listed as Exhibits 1.A(6)(a) and
1.A(6)(b-g) and the By-Laws listed as Exhibits 1.A(6)(h) and 1.A(6)(h)(i).
Security Life of Denver's (the "corporation") Certificate of Incorporation and
bylaws provide that the corporation shall have every power and duty of
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents, without
limitation, provided by the laws of the state of Colorado. Under Colorado law,
the corporation has the power to indemnify such persons against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which
that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of actions by
or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification cannot be made where
such person is adjudged liable to the corporation, except pursuant to a court
order. The corporation is required to indemnify directors, officers, employees
and agents against expense actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
actions where such persons have been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of such actions.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") 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 preceding, 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.
UNDERTAKING REQUIRED BY SECTION 26(E)(2)(A) OF THE INVESTMENT
COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company represents that the fees and charges
deducted under the Policy, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the
services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed by
the Company.

be subject to the terms and conditions contained herein at the time of issue of
the policy by ING Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("ING Security
Life").
1. Commission Structure:
Commissions are payable on premiums paid up to the target premium only.

time a new coverage segment is created, premiums allocated to that
segment will be commissionable up to that segment's target premium. The

result in the agent receiving commissions at the same rate as if the
premium was paid on the anniversary date.
2. Trail Commissions as a percent of the net account value are paid. The
trail commission is calculated monthly based on the net account value
at the end of the prior month. It is paid at the end of the policy
year, provided the policy remains in force at that time and is not
subject to the grace period provisions. The trail commissions will
continue when the insured lives past age 100 and the continuation of
coverage feature is in force. The annual trail commission rates are
given below.

with it.
4. Commission Calculation: Commissions shall be calculated only on premium
actually received and accepted by ING Security Life. Commissions shall
be paid only on an earned basis. Outstanding loan amounts carried over
are not considered commissionable premium.
5. Premium Allocation: If the Stated Death Benefit has been increased
since the policy date, premiums received are allocated to the coverage
segments in the same proportion that the commission target premium for
each segment bears to the total commission target premium of the
policy.
6. Compensation Payments: Compensation on initial premium shall be due to
the Selling Broker-Dealer at the time of the issuance of the policy and
for all other premium payments at the time of the receipt and
acceptance of premium by ING Security Life, except that the amount, if
any, and the time of payment of compensation on replacements, reissues,
changes, conversions, exchanges, term renewals, term conversions,
premiums paid in advance, policies issued on a "guaranteed issue"
basis, policies requiring facultative reinsurance arrangements, and
other special cases and programs shall be governed by ING Security
Life's underwriting and administrative rules then in effect. The
Compensation shall be payable to the Selling Broker-Dealer in
accordance with the Schedule I in effect at the time of issue of the
policy.
7. Commission Chargeback: In the event that a policy for which a
commission has been paid is lapsed or surrendered by the Policy Owner
or has a reduction of stated death benefit during the first three
policy years, or is returned to ING Security Life for refund of premium
during the Free Look Period as described in the policy, ING Security
Life and ING America Equities shall require reimbursement from Selling
Broker-Dealer as shown below.
<PAGE>
POLICY YEAR COMMISSION CHARGEBACK
1 100% of first year commission
2 50% of first year commission
3 25% of first year commission

If a premium payment for which a commission has been paid is refunded
by ING Security Life, a reimbursement of the commission paid on the
amount refunded will be due from the Selling Broker-Dealer. The
reimbursement may be deducted by ING America Equities from the next, or
any subsequent, commission payment to Selling Broker-Dealer.
If the amount to be reimbursed exceeds compensation otherwise due,
Selling Broker-Dealer shall promptly reimburse ING America Equities
before the next commission cycle.
8. Internal Exchanges: Commissions on the exchange of any ING Security
Life policy for Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life, if any,
will be paid in accordance with the exchange procedures in effect at
ING Security Life on the date the exchange is completed. The commission
rates and/or target premiums may be adjusted in accordance with the
rules in effect at the time of the exchange. If the Representative
responsible for the exchange is not the producer of the original
policy, and the original producer is still active with ING Security
Life, no commission will be payable to the Representative or the
Selling Broker-Dealer.

Re: Security Life Separate Account L1
Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1; SEC File No. 333-90577
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Executive Vice President and Chief Actuary of Security Life of
Denver Insurance Company ("Security Life"), I have provided actuarial advice
concerning:
The preparation of Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
on Form S-6 (File No. 333- 90577) to be filed by Security Life and its Security
Life Separate Account L1 (the "Separate Account") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the
corporate benefits variable universal life insurance policies; and
The preparation of the policy forms for the corporate benefits variable
universal life insurance policies described in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1
(the "Policies").
It is my professional opinion that
1. The aggregate fees and charges under the Policies are reasonable in
relation to the services rendered the expenses expected to be incurred and
the risks assumed by Security Life.
2. The illustrations of death benefits, account value, cash surrender value,
and total premiums paid plus interest at 5 percent shown in the Prospectus,
based on the assumptions stated in the illustration are consistent with the
provisions of the Policies. The rate structures of the Policies have not
been designed so as to make the relationship between premiums and benefits,
as shown in the illustrations included, appear to be correspondingly more
favorable to prospective buyers than other illustrations which could have
been provided at other combinations of ages, sex of the insured, death
benefit option and amount, definition of life insurance test, premium
class, and premium amounts. Insureds of other premium classes may have
higher costs of insurance charges.
3. All other numerical examples shown in the Prospectus are consistent with
the Policies and our other practices, and have not been designed to appear
more favorable to prospective buyers than other examples which could have
been provided.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement and the use of my name under the
heading "Experts" in the Prospectus.
Sincerely,

EXHIBIT 11
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUANCE, TRANSFER, AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
FOR POLICIES PURSUANT TO RULE 6E-3(T)(B)(12)(III)
This document sets forth the administrative procedures that will be followed by
Security Life of Denver ("Security Life") in connection with the issuance of
certain of its Corporate Benefits flexible premium variable universal life
insurance policies (the "policies") issued through Security Life Separate
Account L1 (the "Separate Account"), the transfer of assets held under the
policies, and the redemption of interests in policies for use on multi-life
basis when the insured people share a common employment or business
relationship.
I. PROCEDURES RELATING TO ISSUANCE AND PURCHASE OF THE POLICIES
A. Offering of the Policy
The policy is offered only to corporate entities or qualifying groups
of individual owners ("owners") who satisfy certain suitability
standards. The policy may be purchased to acquire insurance on the life
of a person (an "insured") in whom the owner has an insurable interest.
Security Life requires satisfactory evidence of the insured's
insurability, which may include a medical examination of the insured.
The available issue ages are 15 through 85. Age is determined on the
insured's age as of the birthday nearest the policy date.
This policy is available only to groups of ten or more insured people.
Generally, we require a minimum total group first year premium of at
least $250,000. However, depending on underwriting circumstances, we
may reduce the minimum total group first year premium. We generally
require a minimum target death benefit of $50,000 per policy. We may
reduce the minimum target death benefit if the average target death
benefit at policy issuance for the group is at least $50,000.
Acceptance of an application depends on Security Life's underwriting
rules, and Security Life reserves the right to reject an application
for any reason.
If a policy has more than one owner (joint owners), then any
transaction under the policy except for telephone transfers of account
value will require the authorization of all owners.
B. Cost of Insurance Charges Structure, Payments and Underwriting
Standards
Security Life places the insured in a premium class when the policy is
issued, based on Security Life's underwriting of the application. This
original premium class applies to the initial stated death benefit.
1
<PAGE>
The current cost of insurance charge rate for a policy is based on the
age at issue, sex, and premium class of the insured, and on the policy
year, and therefore varies from time to time. Security Life currently
places insureds in the following premium classes, based on
underwriting: Standard Tobacco (ages 0-85); and Standard Non-tobacco
(ages 20-85). Insureds may also be placed in a substandard rate class,
which involves a higher mortality risk that the standard tobacco or
standard non-tobacco classes.
Security Life guarantees that the cost of insurance rates used to
calculate the monthly cost of insurance charge will not exceed the
maximum cost of insurance premiums set forth in the policies. The
guaranteed cost of insurance rate for standard classes are based on the
1980 Commissioners' Standard ordinary mortality Tables, Male or Female,
Smoker or Nonsmoker Mortality Premiums (1980 CSO Tables). The
guaranteed cost of insurance rates for substandard classes are based on
multiples of or additives to the 1980 CSO Tables.
Security Life's current cost of insurance may be less than the
guaranteed cost of insurance that is set forth in the policy. Current
cost of insurance rates will be determined based on Security Life's
expectations as to future mortality, investment earnings, expenses,
taxes, and persistency experience. These rates may change from time to
time.
Cost of insurance rates (whether guaranteed or current) for an insured
in a standard non-tobacco class are equal to or lower than guaranteed
cost of insurance for an insured of the same age and sex in a standard
tobacco class. Cost of insurance rates (whether guaranteed or current)
for an insured in a standard non-tobacco or tobacco class are generally
lower than guaranteed cost of insurance for an insured of the same age
and sex and tobacco status in a substandard class.
The cost of insurance for the policy will not be the same for all
owners. Insurance is based on the principle of pooling and distribution
of mortality risks which assumes that each owner is charged a cost of
insurance commensurate with the insured's mortality risk as actually
determined, reflecting factors such as age, sex, health, and
underwriting method. A uniform cost of insurance charge for all
insureds would discriminate unfairly in favor of those insureds
representing higher risks. Although there will be no uniform cost of
insurance charges for all insureds for a given stated death benefit
there will be a uniform cost of insurance charge for all insureds of
the same issue age, sex, policy duration and underwriting
classification.
If the insured's age or sex has been misstated in the application for
the policy or in any application for supplemental and/or rider
benefits, and if the misstatement becomes known during the lifetime of
the insured, then policy values will be adjusted to those based on the
correct monthly deductions (reflecting the correct age or sex) since
the policy date. If the policy's values are insufficient to cover the
monthly deduction on the prior monthly date, the grace period will be
deemed to have begun on such date, and notification will be sent to the
owner at least 61 days prior to the end of the grace period. See
"Policy Termination and Grace Period," below.
2
<PAGE>
The policy provides coverage on an insured named under the policy and a
Death Benefit payable upon the death of the insured. The policy will
remain in force as long as the policy's cash surrender value is
sufficient to cover the charges due.
On or after one year from the policy date, the owner may request a
reduction in the stated death benefit, by notice to Security Life,
subject to the following rules. If a change in the stated death benefit
would result in total premiums paid exceeding the premium limitations
prescribed under current tax law to qualify the policy as a life
insurance contract, Security Life will refund promptly to the owner the
amount of such excess above the premium limitations.
The minimum amount of any decrease in stated death benefit is $1,000,
and any decrease in stated death benefit will become effective on the
monthly date next following the date that notice requesting the
decrease is received and approved by Security Life. Security Life
reserves the right to decline a requested decrease in the stated death
benefit if compliance with the guideline premium limitations under
current tax law resulting from this decrease would result in immediate
termination of the policy, or if to effect the requested decrease,
payments to the owner would have to be made from the accumulated value
for compliance with the guideline premium limitations, and the amount
of such payments would exceed the cash surrender value under the
policy.
At any time after issue the owner may request an increase in the stated
death benefit; any increase in the stated death benefit must be at
least $1,000 (unless the increase is effected pursuant to a rider
providing for automatic increases in stated death benefit), and an
application must be submitted. Any increase that is not guaranteed by
rider will require satisfactory evidence of insurability and must meet
Security Life's underwriting rules. The increase in stated death
benefit will become effective on the monthly date next following the
date the request for the increase is received and approved, and the
account value will be adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect a
monthly deduction as of the effective date based on the increase in
stated death benefit.
Security Life will determine a cost of insurance rate for each increase
in coverage based on the age of the insured at the time of the
increase. The following rules will apply for purposes of determining
the risk amount for each rate.
When an increase in stated death benefit is requested, Security Life
conducts underwriting before approving the increase (except as noted
below) to determine whether a different premium class will apply to the
increase. If the premium class for the increase has lower cost of
insurance rates than the original premium class, then the premium class
for the increase will also be applied to the initial stated death
benefit. If the premium class for the increase has higher cost of
insurance rates than the original premium class, the premium class for
the increase will apply only to the increase in stated death benefit,
and the original premium class will continue to apply to the initial
stated death benefit.
For the purposes of determining the risk amount associated with a
stated death benefit, Security Life will attribute the total net amount
at risk for the total stated death benefit. If there is a
3
<PAGE>
decrease in stated death benefit after an increase, the decrease is
applied to each stated death benefit in the same proportion that it
bears to the total stated death benefit, unless state law requires
otherwise.
The policy will be offered and sold pursuant to an established
mortality structure and underwriting standards in accordance with state
insurance laws. Where state insurance laws prohibit the use of
actuarial tables that distinguish between men and women in determining
premiums and policy benefits for their insured resident, Security Life
will comply.
C. Application and Payment Processing
To purchase a policy, an application must be completed and submitted
through an authorized Security Life agent. An owner's policy coverage
will become effective on the policy date which may be specified on the
application.
The issue date is the date that Security Life has completed the review
of the application and underwriting and has printed the policy for
mailing and delivery to the Registered Representative to deliver to the
Policyowner. The initial premium does not have to be received for
issuance to occur.
The Policy Date is the date used to determine the monthly processing
date, coverage effective date and policy anniversaries. This date may
be the same as the issue and investment date but can also be a date
requested by the Policyowner. The Policy Date is not generally
determined by the receipt of the initial premium.
The Investment Date is the date that Security Life applies funds to the
Policy. It is determined by the next valuation date following the date
that we have received the initial premium, approved the policy for
issue and have received all issue requirements. It is generally the
same date as the policy and issue date.
As provided for under state insurance law, the owner, to preserve
insurance age, may be permitted to backdate the policy. In no case may
the policy date be more than six months prior to the date the
application was completed. Charges for the monthly deduction for the
backdated period are deducted on the issue date. Temporary life
insurance coverage may be provided prior to the policy date under the
terms of a temporary insurance agreement. In accordance with Security
Life's underwriting rules, temporary life insurance coverage may not
exceed $3,000,000 and will not remain in effect for more than ninety
(90) days.
The initial net premium will be credited to the policy on the issue
date if all outstanding delivery requirements are satisfied. For
backdated policies, the initial net premium will be credited on the
issue date. Planned periodic premiums and unscheduled premiums that are
not underwritten will be credited to the policy and the net premiums
will be invested to the requested divisions on the valuation date they
are received by the home office. If an additional premium payment is
rejected, Security Life will return the premium payment promptly,
without any adjustment for investment experience.
4
<PAGE>
The policy date is the date from which policy months, years, and
anniversaries are measured. A policy month is each one-month period
beginning with a monthly date and ending with the day immediately
preceding the next following monthly date. The monthly date is the same
day as the policy date for each succeeding month. The monthly deduction
is deducted on each monthly date.
A policy year is each period of twelve months commencing with the
policy date and ending immediately preceding the first annual date, or
any following year commencing with an annual date and ending
immediately preceding the next annual date. The annual date is the same
day in each policy year as the policy date.
The issue date, if the same as the policy date, is the date from which
the suicide and contestable periods start. It is shown in the policy,
and is the date that the policy is issued.
D. Allocation of Net Premiums
On the investment date, the account value is equal to the initial net
premium credited (initial premium payment less the premium expense
charge), less any monthly deductions made as the policy date up to six
months for backdated policies. On each investment date thereafter, the
account value is the sum of the variable account, the guaranteed
interest division, and the loan account. The account value will vary to
reflect the performance of the subdivisions to which amounts have been
allocated, interest credited on amounts allocated to the guaranteed
interest division, interest credited on amounts in the loan account,
charges, transfers, partial cash surrenders, loans and loan repayments.
The net account value is cash value minus any outstanding policy debt.
When applying for a policy, the owner selects a plan for paying level
premium payments at specified intervals, e.g., quarterly, semi-annually
or annually, until the maturity date. If the owner elects, Security
Life will also arrange for payment of planned period premiums on a
monthly basis under a pre-authorized payment arrangement. The owner is
not required to pay premium payments in accordance with these plans;
rather, the owner can pay more or less than planned or skip a planned
periodic premium entirely. Currently, there is no minimum amount for
each premium. Security Life may establish a minimum amount 90 days
after Security Life sends the owner a written notice of such increase.
Subject to certain limits (described below), the owner can change the
amount and frequency of planned periodic premiums whenever the owner
wishes by sending notice to the home office. However, Security Life
reserves the right to limit the amount of a premium payment or the
total premium payments paid.
In the application, the owner specifies the percentage of net premium
to be allocated to each investment option including the guaranteed
interest division (G.I.D.). Net premiums will generally be allocated to
the investment options on the valuation date that Security Life
receives them in accordance with the allocations specified in the
application or subsequent notice.
State guidelines regarding the allocation of the net initial premium
varies as does the length of time for free look. Some states mandate
that if an owner exercises his/her free look right he/she
5
<PAGE>
is entitled to a full premium refund (Premium refund states). In these
instances Security Life allocates the funds to the money market
investment option. Other states mandate that should the owner exercise
his/her free look option he/she is entitled to receive the value of the
fund allocations plus the policy charges deducted (valuation states).
In these instances Security Life allocates the net initial premium to
the divisions elected on the application during the free look period
but after the 5 day deemed delivery date.
The net premium allocation percentages specified in the application
will apply to subsequent premium payments until the owner changes the
percentages. The minimum allocation percentage that an owner may
specify for an investment option or the guaranteed account is 1%, and
allocation percentages must be whole numbers. The sum of allocations
must equal 100%. Security Life reserves the right to limit the number
of investment options (18) to which account value may be allocated. An
owner can change the allocation percentages at any time, subject to the
rules below, by sending notice to the home office or if telephone
privileges are in effect, the request can be received by phone. The
change will apply to all premium payments received with or after
receipt of the owner's notice.
E. Exchange Program
Security Life may offer an exchange program for designated inforce
policies to be exchanged to a Corporate Benefits Variable Universal
Life policy. Evidence of insurability will not be required if there is
not a request for a death benefit increase. Policies eligible for this
exchange will be limited to Strategic Advantage II policies issued
after December 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000, to policyowners who
otherwise qualify to purchase the Corporate Benefits Variable Universal
Life policy.
F. Additional Payment
Additional unscheduled premium payments can be made at any time while
the policy is in force. Premium payments after the initial premium
payment must be made to the home office.
Security Life has the right to limit the number and amount of such
premium payments. Total premium payments paid in a policy year may not
exceed guideline premium payment limitations for life insurance set
forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Security Life will promptly refund
any portion of any premium payment that is determined to be in excess
of the premium payment limit established by law to qualify a policy as
a contract for life insurance.
Security Life reserves the right to reject any requested increase in
planned periodic premiums, or any unscheduled premium. Security Life
also reserves the right to require satisfactory evidence of
insurability prior to accepting any premium which increases the risk
amount of the policy. No premium payment will be accepted after the
maturity date.
The owner may specify that a specific unscheduled premium payment is to
be applied as a repayment of a policy loan, if any.
6
<PAGE>
The payment of premiums may cause a policy to be a modified endowment
contract under the Internal Revenue Code. If acceptance of a premium
paid would, in Security Life's view, cause the policy to become a
Modified Endowment Contract, then to the extent feasible Security Life
will not accept that portion of the premium that would cause the policy
to become a Modified Endowment Contract unless the owner confirms in
writing the owner's intent to convert the policy to a Modified
Endowment Contract. Security Life may return that portion of the
payment pending receipt of instructions from the owner.
G. Policy Termination and Grace Period
The policy terminates at the earliest of the end of the grace period,
the surrender of the policy by the owner or the fulfillment of Security
Life's obligations under the policy (i.e., payment of the death benefit
proceeds).
If the cash surrender value on a monthly date is less than the amount
of the monthly deduction to be deducted on that date the policy will be
in default. In addition, if on a monthly date the cash value less any
policy loan exceeds the amount of the monthly deduction due for the
following policy month, the policy will be in default. An owner, and
any assignee of record, will be sent notice of the default.
If a policy goes into default, the owner will be allowed a 61-day grace
period to pay a premium payment sufficient to cover the monthly
deductions due during the grace period and for a period of two
additional months or a sufficient amount to avoid termination of the
policy due to excessive loans. Security Life will send notice of the
amount required to be paid during the grace period ("grace period
premium payment") to the owner's last known address and the address of
any assignee of record. The grace period will begin when the notice is
sent. An owner's policy will remain in effect during the grace period.
If the insured should die during the grace period and before the grace
period premium payment is paid, the death benefit proceeds will still
be payable to the beneficiary, although the amount paid will reflect a
reduction for the monthly deductions due on or before the date of the
insured's death (and for any policy debt). If the grace period premium
payment has not been paid before the grace period ends, the policy will
lapse. It will have no value and no benefits will be payable.
The maturity date is the date when insurance coverage under the policy
terminates and maturity benefit is paid. It is generally the insured's
100th birthday, and is shown in the policy. The maturity benefit is
equal to the cash surrender value on the maturity date.
H. Reinstatement of a Policy Terminated for Insufficient Values
The policy may be reinstated within five years after lapse and before
the maturity date, subject to compliance with certain conditions,
including the payment of a necessary premium payment and submission of
satisfactory evidence of insurability.
I. Repayment of a Loan
7
<PAGE>
An owner may repay all or part of a policy loan at any time while the
insured is living and the policy is in force. Loan repayments must be
sent to the home office and will be credited as of the date received.
The owner may instruct Security Life that a specific unscheduled
premium payment is to be applied as a loan repayment. When a loan
repayment is made, account value in the loan account in an amount
equivalent to the repayment is transferred from the loan account to the
investments options according to the owner's current net premium
allocation instructions.
J. Policy Riders
Rider benefits may be available and may be added to the policy. Monthly
charges for the rider will be deducted from the account value as part
of the monthly deductions. The rider benefits available provide fixed
benefits that do not vary with the investment experience of the
separate account. The only rider available is the Adjustable Term
Insurance Rider.
Additional rules and limits apply to these rider benefits and are set
forth in the rider.
II. TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Several investment options of the Separate Account are available for
allocation of net premiums paid under the policy, subject to certain
limitations set forth in the policy. Each invests its assets in shares or
units of an underlying portfolio. Currently available investment options
invest in portfolios of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, Inc., The Alger
American Fund, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund and Variable
Insurance Products Fund II, the GCG Trust, INVESCO Variable Investment
Funds, Inc., Neuberger Berman Advisors Management Trust, Van Eck Worldwide
Insurance Trust. All Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. Additional funds may
be made available in the future.
After the free-look period and prior to the maturity date, the owner may
transfer all or part of the account value (except loan amounts) from the
investment options to other investment options or to the guaranteed
interest division; or transfer a part of an amount in the guaranteed
interest to the investment options, subject to the following restrictions.
The minimum transfer amount is the lesser of $100 or the entire amount in
that investment option or the guaranteed interest. A transfer request that
would reduce the amount in an investment option or the guaranteed interest
division below $100 will be treated as a transfer request for the entire
amount in that investment option or the guaranteed interest division. With
the exception of the Right to Exchange (described below), Security Life
reserves the right to limit the number or frequency of transfers permitted
in the future.
Security Life will make the transfer as of the end of the valuation period
during which such transfer is requested and received by Security Life.
Currently, there is a 12 free transfer limit on the number of transfers
that can be made between investment options or to the guaranteed interest
division. Currently, Security Life assesses a transfer charge of $10 for
each transfer during a policy year in excess of the first twelve transfers.
The transfer charge will be deducted from the investment option from which
the requested transfer is being made, on a pro-rata basis.
8
<PAGE>
Telephone transfers will be based upon instructions given by telephone,
provided the appropriate authorization has been provided to Security Life.
Security Life reserves the right to suspend telephone transfer privileges
at any time, for any reason, if Security Life deems such suspension to be
in the best interests of owners.
During the first twenty-four policy months following the issue date, and
within sixty days of the later of notification of a change in the
investment policy of the separate account or the effective date of such
change, the owner may exercise a one-time Right to Exchange by requesting
that all or a portion of the variable account be transferred to the
guaranteed interest division. Exercise of the Right to Exchange is not
subject to the transfer charge. Following the exercise of the Right to
Exchange, net premiums may not be allocated to the subdivisions of the
variable account, and transfers of account value to the subdivisions will
not be permitted. The other terms and conditions of the policy will
continue to apply.
Transfers may also be effected pursuant to the dollar cost averaging or
auto rebalancing feature as may be elected by the owner from time to time
and as described in the current prospectus.
III. REDEMPTION PROCEDURES, SURRENDER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
A. Surrender for Cash Surrender Value
An owner may surrender the policy at any time for its cash surrender
value by submitting notice to the home office. Security Life may
require return of the policy. A surrender charge may apply. A surrender
request will be processed as of the valuation date the surrender notice
and all required documents are received. Payment will be made within
seven calendar days. An owner's policy will terminate and cease to be
in force if it is surrendered. It cannot later be reinstated.
B. Death Claims
The death benefit proceeds are equal to the sum of the base death
benefit for each coverage segment under the death benefit option
selected, calculated on the date of the insured's death, plus any rider
benefits, minus any outstanding policy loan including accrued but
unpaid interest, minus any unpaid monthly deductions incurred prior to
the date of death. If the insured's age or sex has been misstated in
the application for the policy or in any application for supplemental
and/or rider benefits, and if the misstatement becomes known after the
death of the insured, then the death benefit under the policy or such
supplemental and/or rider benefits will be that which the cost of
insurance charge which was deducted from the account value on the last
monthly processing date prior to the death of the insured would have
purchased for the correct sex and age.
Security Life will pay interest at the rate declared by us or at a
higher rate required by law.

<PAGE>
Security Life will usually pay the death benefit proceeds to the
beneficiary within seven days after receipt at its Home Office of due
proof of death of the insured and all other requirements necessary to
make payment. If the payment of the death benefit of a policy is
contested, payment of proceeds may be delayed.
The Death Benefit payable depends on the death benefit option in effect
on the date of death. Subject to certain conditions, owners may change
the death benefit option. Under Option 1, the death benefit is the
greater of the specified amount, which includes the account value or
the Applicable Percentage of account value on the date of the insured's
death. Under Option 2, the death benefit is the greater of the
specified amount plus the account value on the date of death, or the
Applicable Percentage of the account value on the date of the insured's
death. Under Option 3, the death benefit is the greater of the stated
death benefit plus the sum of all premiums paid minus partial
withdrawals or the account value multiplied by the appropriate factor.
The "Applicable Percentage" which is the AV on the date of death
multiplied by the appropriate factor from the Definition of Life
Insurance factors shown in the policy's appendix A or B. A table
showing the Applicable Percentages for Attained Ages 0 to 95 is set
forth in the policy.
On or after one year from the policy date, the owner may change the
death benefit option on the policy, by notice to Security Life, subject
to the following rules. A change in the Death Benefit Option may be
requested at least 30 days prior to a policy anniversary. After any
changes, the specified amount must be at least $50,000. The effective
date of the change will be the monthly date next following the day that
Security life receives and accepts notice of the request for change.
Security Life may require satisfactory evidence of insurability.
When a change from Option 1 to Option 2 is made, the specified amount
after the change is effected will be equal to the specified amount
before the change less the account value on the effective date of the
change. When a change from Option 2 to Option 1 is made, the specified
amount after the change will be equal to the specified amount before
the change is effected and the death benefit will be increased by the
account value on the effective date of the change. When a change from
Option 3 to Option 1 is made, the specified amount will be the stated
death benefit plus the sum of the premiums paid minus partial
withdrawals.
C. Policy Loan
After the first policy year and while the insured is living, provided
the policy is not in the grace period, the owner may borrow against the
policy at any time by submitting notice to the home office. The minimum
amount of any loan request is $100. The maximum loan amount is the net
cash surrender value less monthly deductions to the next policy
anniversary. Maximum loan amounts may be different if required by state
law.
Outstanding loans reduce the amount available for new loans. Loans will
be processed as of the date the loan notice is received and approved.
Loan proceeds generally will be sent to the owner within seven calendar
days.
10
<PAGE>
Loan interest charges on a Policy Loan accrue daily at a compound
annual interest rate of 3.25%. Interest is due in arrears on each
policy anniversary.
Outstanding loan amounts (including unpaid interest added to the loan)
plus accrued interest not yet due equals the total policy loan.
When a policy loan is made, an amount sufficient to secure the loan is
transferred out of the variable account and the guaranteed account and
into the policy's loan account. Thus, a loan will have no immediate
effect on the account value, but other policy values, such as the cash
surrender value and the death benefit proceeds, will be reduced
immediately by the amount transferred to the loan account. This
transfer is made against the account value in each subdivision and the
guaranteed account in proportion to the account value in each on the
effective date of the loan, unless the owner specifies that transfers
be made form specific subdivisions. an amount of account value equal to
any due and unpaid loan interest which exceeds interest credited to the
loan account will also be transferred to the loan account on each
annual date. Such interest will be transferred from each investment
option in the same proportion that account value in each bears to the
total unloaned account value.
The loan account will be credited with interest at an effective annual
rate of not less than the annual loan interest rate of 3%.
D. Partial Withdrawals
An owner may make partial cash surrenders under the policy at any time
after the first policy anniversary subject to the conditions below. An
owner must submit notice to the home office. Each partial cash
surrender must be at least $100. The maximum partial withdrawal is the
amount which will leave $500 as the net cash surrender value. When a
partial withdrawal is taken, the amount of the withdrawal plus a
service fee of $25 is deducted from the account value. As of the date
Security Life receives notice of a partial cash surrender request, the
cash value will be reduced by the partial cash surrender amount.
Unless the owner requests that a partial cash surrender be deducted
from specified investment options, the partial cash surrender amount
will be deducted from account value on a pro-rata basis in proportion
to the account value in each investment option.
If death benefit Option 1 is in effect, Security life may reduce the
specified amount. Security Life may reject a partial cash surrender
request if the partial cash surrender would reduce the specified amount
below $50,000, or if the partial cash surrender would cause the policy
to fail to qualify as a life insurance contract under applicable tax
laws, as interpreted by Security Life.
Partial cash surrender requests will be processed as of the valuation
date notice is received by Security Life, and generally will be paid
within seven calendar days.
E. Monthly Charges
11
<PAGE>
On each monthly date, Security Life will deduct from the account value
the monthly deductions due, commencing as of the policy date. An
owner's policy date is the date used to determine the applicable
monthly date. The monthly deduction consists of (1) cost of insurance
charges ("cost of insurance charge"), (2) the monthly administrative
charge (the "administrative charge"), (3) mortality and expense charge,
and (4) charges for any rider benefit. The monthly deduction is
deducted on pro rata basis from the account value in each investment
option.
