You can use this update as a tool to help you evaluate the investment choices
before investing, or to track the performance of your current investment
choices. Please keep in mind, as you review performance, that your annuity
contract is designed as a long-term investment. Therefore, it is important for
you to keep a long-term point of view as you review short-term fluctuations.
Generally, the most successful retirement investors are those who create an
investment strategy based on their tolerance for risk and long-term goals and
then invest on a consistent basis.
Citibank, N.A. acts as an investment manager of CitiSelect VIP Portfolios and
investment advisor of CitiFunds Small Cap Growth VIP Portfolio. The remaining
individual investment choices are managed by AIM, Fidelity Investments(R) and
MFS(R).
Notes:
Investment return and principal will fluctuate, and the investor's units may be
worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed.
The table at left presents annualized rates of return for each CitiVariable
annuity investment choice. Performance results are based on the change in the
accumulation unit value for each investment choice. An investment choice's
annualized rate of return is the annual rate of growth that would be necessary
to achieve the ending value of a premium payment kept in the investment choice
for the period specified. Investment results are net of advisory fees, direct
operating expenses, the Separate Account mortality and expense risk charge, and
the asset-based administrative charge.
The Separate Account began investing in the Variable Annuity Portfolios, the
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, the Fidelity Variable Insurance
Products Fund II, the AIM Variable Insurance Funds, Inc. and the MFS Variable
Insurance Trust on February 3, 1997, except for the AIM V.I. Capital
Appreciation; Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio; MFS World Governments Series and
MFS Money Market Series which commenced operations on February 21, 1995. The
investment results of all funds for periods prior to these dates are based on
actual investment results, adjusted for charges applicable under CitiVariable
Annuity. These charges include all fees normally reflected in the accumulation
unit value (as described above).
Rates of return do not reflect any premium taxes, annual contract fees, or
surrender fees which may apply. Such fees reduce the actual return of a specific
CitiVariable annuity contract. The MFS Money Market Series is neither guaranteed
nor insured by the U.S. Government. The charts presented do not represent the
actual experience of amounts invested by a particular investor.

Annuity is a long-term investment.
