above corporations is a Minnesota corporation.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of September 29, 1995, the number of Contract Participants for
this Registration Statement were as follows:

                                                  Number of Record
         Title of Class                                Holders

  Group Variable Annuity Contracts                      18,695

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION

The State of Minnesota has an indemnification statute, found at
Minnesota Statutes 300.083, as amended, effective January 1,
1984, which requires indemnification of individuals only under
the circumstances described by the statute. Expenses incurred in
the defense of any action, including attorneys' fees, may be
advanced to the individual after written request by the board of
directors upon receiving an undertaking from the individual to
repay any amount advanced unless it is ultimately determined that
he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized by the statute and after a determination that the
facts then known to those making the determination would not
preclude indemnification.

Indemnification is required for persons made a part to a
proceeding by reason of their official capacity so long as they
acted in good faith, received no improper personal benefit and
have not been indemnified by another organization. In the case
of a criminal proceeding, they must also have had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In respect to other
acts arising out of official capacity: (1) where the person is
acting directly for the corporation there must be a reasonable
belief by the person that his or her conduct was in the best
interests of the corporation or; (2) where the person is serving
another organization or plan at the request of the corporation,
the person must have reasonably believed that his or her conduct
was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. In the
case of persons not directors, officers or policy-making
employees, determination of eligibility for indemnification may
be made by a board-

<PAGE>

appointed committee of which a director is a
member. For other employees, directors and officers, the
determination of eligibility is made by the Board or a committee
of the Board, special legal counsel, the shareholder of the
corporation or pursuant to a judicial proceeding.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of The Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance
Company and Minnesota Mutual Group Variable Annuity Account
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, The Minnesota
Mutual Life Insurance Company and Minnesota Mutual Group Variable
Annuity Account have 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 Minnesota
Mutual Life Insurance Company and Minnesota Mutual Group Variable
Annuity Account of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of The Minnesota Mutual Life
Insurance Company and Minnesota Mutual Group Variable Annuity
Account in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer of controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, The
Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Company and Minnesota Mutual
Group Variable Annuity Account will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
