We are pleased to provide you with an update of Ohio National Fund's performance
and investment activity for 1996. It was a year of continued growth and
generally favorable results for the Fund and the Ohio National variable annuity
and variable universal life contract owners who are invested in its portfolios.


Looking Back

Thriving in a climate of moderate growth and modest inflation, stocks produced
excellent gains in the United States in 1996. The U.S. bull market celebrated
its sixth birthday by setting new records for price and trading volume. Large
capitalization stocks were especially solid performers. Internationally, equity
performance was generally strongest in European markets and mixed in Far East
markets. The bond market registered a modest performance as interest rates rose
in the first half. Achievements and highlights of Ohio National Fund for 1996
included the following:

- -        Five of the Fund's nine portfolios - the Capital Appreciation, Omni,
         International, Bond and Money Market portfolios - surpassed the average
         performance achieved for the year by their comparable fund category.

- -        The International subaccounts of Vari-Vest and Top Tradition (formerly
         Top Annuity) received five stars for their risk-adjusted three-year
         annualized return in Morningstar, Inc.'s performance ratings through
         July 31, 1996. Top Tradition's International subaccount was also cited
         in November's Money magazine as one of the best in its category.

- -        Growth in the Fund's assets signaled continued confidence from Ohio
         National variable contract owners and purchasers. Total assets for the
         nine portfolios increased to $664.3 million, a 45% increase over
         year-end 1995.

- -        Variable contract owners approved the appointment of Ohio National
         Investments, Inc. as investment adviser to Ohio National Fund,
         effective May 1, 1996.

Performance

Performance of Ohio National Fund's portfolios included the following:

- -        The Equity Portfolio, managed by Ohio National Investments, Inc.,
         recorded a total return of 18.35% for the year. The portfolio's
         objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital by investing in
         common stocks or other equity securities. Growth funds tracked by
         Lipper Analytical Services averaged a 19.24% total return for 1996.

- -        The Omni Portfolio, managed by Ohio National Investments, Inc.,
         recorded a total return of 15.54% for the year. Its objective is a high
         level of return consistent with preservation of capital by investing in
         stocks, bonds and money market instruments. Balanced portfolio funds
         tracked by Lipper averaged a 13.76% total return for the period.

- -        The International Portfolio, managed by Societe Generale Asset
         Management Corp., ended the year with a total return of 14.48%. The
         portfolio's objective is long-term capital growth by investing in
         common stocks of foreign companies. International funds tracked by
         Lipper had a total return of 11.78% for the same period.

- -        The Small Cap Portfolio, managed by Founders Asset Management, Inc.,
         registered a total return of 17.71% for the year. Its objective is
         maximum capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of
         small- and medium-size companies. Small company growth funds tracked by
         Lipper averaged 20.15% for the same period.

- -        The Capital Appreciation Portfolio, managed by T. Rowe Price
         Associates, Inc., achieved a 15.75% total return for 1996. Its
         objective is maximum capital growth by investing primarily in common
         stocks that are considered to be undervalued, or temporarily out of
         favor with investors, or are expected to increase in price over the
         short term. Flexible portfolio funds tracked by Lipper averaged a
         13.60% total return for the period.

- -        The Aggressive Growth Portfolio, managed by Strong Capital Management,
         Inc., finished 1996 with a total return of 0.76%. The portfolio, whose
         objective is maximum capital growth, was hurt by a move into bonds
         early in the year and a downturn in technology stocks at mid-year.
         Capital appreciation funds tracked by Lipper had a total return of
         16.31% for the year.

- -        The Global Contrarian Portfolio, managed by Societe Generale Asset
         Management Corp., ended the year with a total return of 12.09%. Its
         objective is long-term growth of capital by investing in foreign and
         domestic securities believed to be undervalued or presently out of
         favor. Global flexible portfolio funds tracked by Lipper had a total
         return of 13.50% for the same period.

- -        The Bond Portfolio, managed by Ohio National Investments, Inc.,
         produced a total return of 3.71% for 1996. Its objective is a high
         level of return consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity
         by investing primarily in high-quality intermediate- and long-term debt
         securities. Intermediate-term corporate debt funds tracked by Lipper
         had a 3.27% total return for the year.

- -        Dividends on the Money Market Portfolio, managed by Ohio National
         Investments, Inc., generated a 5.17% yield for the year. The
         portfolio's objective is maximum current income consistent with
         preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in high-quality
         money market instruments. The average yield reported for money market
         funds by IBC Financial Data, Inc. was 4.83% for 1996.

         Please note that the rates of total return under variable annuity and
variable universal life contracts will differ depending upon the applicable
contract charges for mortality and expenses. Additional details about the asset
holdings of the Fund's portfolios are provided in the following pages and
histories of the portfolios and relevant indices are shown graphically. Also
included, if applicable, is the annual report of the separate account for your
variable contract.

Looking Ahead

The U.S. economy appears to be in a slow-growth, low-inflation mode. With
corporate earnings growth stabilizing, scant likelihood of further interest rate
declines, and valuations already quite high by traditional measures, a repeat of
its 1996 performance seems unlikely for the U.S. equity market. Strengthening
economic activity abroad would bode well for foreign markets. Regardless of the
conditions, our fundamental investment principles - careful selection and
constant professional management - remain unchanged.

         Allow me to take this opportunity to welcome three highly regarded new
subadvisers to Ohio National Fund's management team and announce the addition of
seven new portfolios to its roster. The Core Growth Portfolio, managed by
Pilgrim Baxter & Associates, Ltd., the Growth & Income Portfolio, managed by
Robertson Stephens Investment Management, L.P., the Strategic Income, Stellar
and Relative Value portfolios, managed by Star Bank, N.A., and the S&P 500 Index
and Social Awareness portfolios, managed by Ohio National Investments, Inc., all
became effective January 3, 1997. Please note that not all portfolios are
available to all variable contracts.

         Thank you for the confidence you have placed in Ohio National Fund as
you pursue your wealth-building endeavors. Be assured that we will make every
effort to continue to merit that confidence. Please contact your sales
representative for additional information on the tax-favored financial
protection and accumulation options afforded by your variable annuity or
variable universal life contract. As your needs change over time, he or she
stands ready to serve you.

OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.                                       DECEMBER 31, 1996
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         Ohio National Fund, Inc. (Fund) is registered under the Investment
         Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified
         open-end management investment company. The Fund is a series investment
         company which consists of nine separate investment portfolios that seek
         the following investment objectives:

         EQUITY PORTFOLIO--long-term growth of capital by investing principally
         in common stocks or other equity securities. Current income is a
         secondary objective.

         MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO--maximum current income consistent with
         preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in high quality
         money market instruments.

         BOND PORTFOLIO--high level of return consistent with preservation of
         capital by investing primarily in high quality intermediate and
         long-term debt securities.

         OMNI PORTFOLIO--high level of long-term total return consistent with
         preservation of capital by investing in stocks, bonds and money market
         instruments.

         INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO--long-term capital growth by investing
         primarily in common stocks of foreign companies.

         CAPITAL APPRECIATION PORTFOLIO--maximum capital growth by investing
         primarily in common stocks that are (1) considered to be undervalued or
         temporarily out of favor with investors, or (2) expected to increase in
         price over the short term.

         SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO-maximum capital growth by investing primarily in
         common stocks of small and medium size companies.

         GLOBAL CONTRARIAN PORTFOLIO--long-term growth of capital by investing
         in foreign and domestic securities believed to be undervalued or
         presently out of favor.

         AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO--capital growth.

         The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

         Investments in the Money Market Portfolio are valued at amortized cost
         in accordance with Rule 2a-7 which approximates market value. All net
         investment income of the Money Market Portfolio is declared and paid
         daily as a dividend to shareholders immediately before the computation
         of the net asset value of Money Market Portfolio shares. Dividends are
         automatically reinvested in additional Money Market Portfolio shares at
         the net asset value immediately following such computation.
         Distributions arising from net investment income from the remaining
         portfolios are declared and paid to shareholders quarterly and are
         recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions arising from
         accumulated net realized capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend
         date and are distributed to shareholders at least once a year.

         For all other portfolios, securities which are traded on U.S. and
         foreign stock exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets are valued
         at the last sale price or, if there has been no sale that day, at the
         last bid price reported as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on each day the
         New York Stock Exchange is open for unrestricted trading.
         Over-the-counter securities are valued at the last bid price as of the
         close of trading on the Exchange. Short-term investments (investments
         with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at amortized
         cost and fixed income securities are valued by using market quotations,
         or independent pricing services which use prices provided by market
         makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating
         to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. All
         investments and cash quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in
         U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates
         prevailing at the time of such valuation.

         Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to 4:00
         p.m. Eastern time. Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign
         investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which
         they are determined and the time of valuation, which in the case of the
         International, Small Cap, Global Contrarian and Aggressive Growth
         Portfolios, would not be reflected in the computation of the
         portfolios' net asset value. If events materially affecting the value
         of such securities or currency exchange rates occurred during such time
         period, the securities are valued at their fair value as determined in
         good faith by or under the direction of the Fund's Board of Directors.

         In connection with purchases and sales of securities denominated in
         foreign currencies, the Fund may enter into forward foreign currency
         exchange contracts (forward contract). A forward contract is a
         commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at
         a negotiated rate. Additionally, the Fund may enter into such contracts
         to hedge certain other foreign currency denominated investments. These
         contracts are recorded at market value, and the related realized and
         unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the
         statement of operations. In the event that counterparties fail to
         settle these currency contracts or the related foreign security trades,
         the Fund could be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.


                                                                     (continued)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Each portfolio other than the Money Market Portfolio, may (a) write
         call options traded on a registered national securities exchange if
         such portfolio owns the underlying securities subject to such options,
         and purchase call options for the purpose of closing out positions it
         has written, (b) purchase put options on securities owned, and sell
         such options in order to close its positions in put options, (c)
         purchase and sell financial futures and options thereon, and (d)
         purchase and sell financial index options; provided, however, that no
         option or futures contract shall be purchased or sold if, as a result,
         more than one-third of the total assets of the portfolio would be
         hedged by options or futures contracts, and no more than 5% of any
         portfolio's total assets, at market value, may be used for premiums on
         open options and initial margin deposits on futures contracts. Options
         are recorded at market value, and the related realized and unrealized
         gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. The
         portfolios making use of options bear the market risk of an unfavorable
         change in the price of any security underlying the options.

         The Fund may invest in two kinds of financial futures contracts: stock
         index futures contracts and interest rate futures contracts. Stock
         index futures contracts are contracts developed by and traded on
         national commodity exchanges whereby the buyer will, on a specified
         future date, pay or receive a final cash payment equal to the
         difference between the actual value of the stock index on the last day
         of the contract and the value of the stock index established by the
         contract multiplied by the specific dollar amount set by the exchange.
         Future contracts may be based on broad-based stock indexes such as the
         Standard & Poor's 500 Index or on narrow-based stock indexes. A
         particular index will be selected according to Ohio National
         Investments, Inc. ("ONI's"), the investment advisor to the Fund,
         investment strategy for the particular portfolio. The Fund may enter
         into such contracts to reduce the risk of fluctuation of portfolio
         securities values or to take advantage of expected market fluctuations.

         Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
         income is recognized on the ex-dividend date (except in the case of
         foreign securities in the International, Small Cap, Global Contrarian
         and Aggressive Growth Portfolios in which dividends are recorded as
         soon after the ex-dividend date as the fund becomes aware of such
         dividends), and interest income is accrued daily as earned. Net
         realized gain or loss on investments and foreign exchange transactions
         are determined the first in first out basis except in the case of the
         Aggresive Growth Portfolio in which the identified cost basis is used.

         The books and records of all the portfolios are maintained in U.S.
         dollars. Foreign currency amounts in the International, Small Cap,
         Global Contrarian and Aggressive Growth Portfolios are translated into
         U.S. dollars on the following basis:
         (1)      market value of investments, other assets and liabilities --
                  at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
         (2)      purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses--at
                  the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of
                  such transactions.

         Although the net assets and the market value of the portfolios are
         presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the period, the
         portfolios do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in
         foreign exchange rates from the effect of changes in the market price
         of the investments. However, the portfolios do isolate the effect of
         fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or
         loss upon sale or maturity of foreign-currency denominated debt
         obligations pursuant to Federal income tax regulations.

         Foreign investment and currency transactions may involve certain
         considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in
         U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks, including
         re-evaluation of currency and future adverse political and economic
         developments, could cause investments and their markets to be less
         liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies
         and the U.S. Government.

         Each portfolio may acquire repurchase agreements from member banks of
         the Federal Reserve System which ONI deems creditworthy under
         guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, subject to the seller's
         agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date
         and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the
         portfolio plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term
         rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying
         portfolio securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is
         required to maintain as collateral for the repurchase transaction
         securities in which the portfolio has a perfected security interest
         with a value not less than 100% of the repurchase price (including
         accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held
         by the Fund's custodian or another qualified custodian or in the
         Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. Repurchase agreements are
         considered to be loans by the portfolio under the 1940 Act.

         It is the policy of the Fund to distribute to its shareholders
         substantially all of its taxable income, thus gaining relief from
         Federal income taxes under provisions of current tax regulations
         applicable to investment companies of this type. Accordingly, no
         provision for Federal income taxes has been made.

         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 increases
         and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting
         period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3)      INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS
         WITH AFFILIATED PERSONS
         The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with ONI, a wholly owned
         subsidiary of Ohio National Life Insurance Company (ONLIC), under the
         terms of which ONI provides porfolio management and investment advice
         to the Fund and administers its other affairs, subject to the
         supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors. Prior to May 1, 1996 O.N.
         Investment Management Company served as the Fund's investment advisor.
         As compensation for its services to the Equity, Bond and Omni
         Portfolios, ONI is paid fees at an annual rate of 0.60% of the first
         $100 million of each of those Portfolios' net assets, 0.50% of the next
         $150 million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $500
         million, 0.30% of the next $1 billion and 0.25% of net assets over $2
         billion. For the Money Market Portfolio, ONI is paid a fee at an annual
         rate of 0.30% of the first $100 million, 0.25% of the next $150
         million, 0.23% of the next $250 million, 0.20% of the next $500 million
         and 0.15% of the net assets over $1 billion. However, as to the Money
         Market Portfolio, ONI is presently waiving any of its fees in excess of
         0.25%. The amount waived in 1996 was $9,697. For the International and
         Global Contrarian Portfolios, ONI is paid fees at an annual rate of
         0.90% of each of those Portfolio's average daily net asset value. ONI
         is paid fees at an annual rate of 0.80% of the average daily net assets
         value of each of the Capital Appreciation, Small Cap and Aggressive
         Growth Portfolios.

         ONI pays Societe Generale Asset Management Corporation (SGAM) fees at
         an annual rate of 0.75% of the International and Global Contrarian
         Portfolios' average daily net asset value for directing the investment
         and reinvestment of those Portfolios' assets pursuant to sub-advisory
         agreements between ONI and SGAM dated May 1, 1996. Under sub-advisory
         agreements dated May 1, 1996: (1) ONI pays T. Rowe Price Associates,
         Inc. (TRPA) a fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the first $5 million,
         and 0.50% of average daily net asset value in excess of $5 million for
         directing the investment and reinvestment of the Capital Appreciation
         Portfolio's assets, and (2) ONI pays Founders Asset Management, Inc.
         (FAM) a fee at an annual rate of 0.65% of the first $75 million, 0.60%
         of the next $75 million, and 0.55% of average daily net asset value in
         excess of $150 million for directing the investment and reinvestment of
         the Small Cap Portfolio's assets, and (3) ONI pays Strong Capital
         Management, Inc. (SCM) a fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the first
         $50 million and 0.50% of average daily net asset value in excess of $50
         million for directing the investment and reinvestment of the Aggressive
         Growth Portfolio's assets.

         Each director who is not an officer of the Fund or an employee of ONI
         or its corporate affiliates is paid a quarterly retainer fee of $2,000
         plus $400 for each meeting attended.


                                                                     (continued)

         The Fund's custodian, transfer agent and dividend paying agent was The
         Provident Bank, One East Fourth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. The Provident
         Bank was also the custodian for those portfolios other than the

         Cincinnati, Ohio, became the new custodian for those portfolios other
         than the International and Global Contrarian Portfolios. The custodian

         On January 30, 1997 an additional net realized gain on investments of
         $307,373 (.09 per share) was paid to the shareholders of record on
         January 29, 1997 in the Capital Appreciation Portfolio. For Federal
         income tax purposes, the Bond, Small Cap and Aggressive Growth
         Portfolios had capital loss carryovers of $82,701, $229,009 and
         $1,425,782 respectively, at December 31, 1996. If not offset by capital
         gains, $82,701 and $47,306 will expire in 2003 in the Bond and
         Aggressive Growth Portfolios respectively and $229,009 and $1,378,476
         will expire in 2004 in the Small Cap and Aggressive Growth Portfolio
         respectively. The Board of Directors does not intend to authorize a
         distribution of any net realized gain for a portfolio until the capital
         loss carryover has been offset or expires.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ohio National Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the
schedules of investments of Ohio National Fund, Inc. (comprising, respectively,
the Equity, Money Market, Bond, Omni, International, Capital Appreciation, Small
Cap, Global Contrarian and Aggressive Growth Portfolios) as of December 31,
1996, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights 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, 1996, by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers, and where replies are not received, we carried out
other appropriate auditing procedures. 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 and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the portfolios comprising Ohio National Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 1996,
and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their
financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

(b)      On and after June 17,1993, the advisor has waived part of the
         management fee with respect to the Money Market Portfolio, to the
         extent such fee exceeds an annual rate of .25% of the Money Market
         Portfolio's daily net asset value. Had the fee not been waived, the
         annualized ratio of net expenses for the years ended December 31, 1996,
         1995, 1994 and 1993 would have been .49%, .55%, .59%, and .63%
         respectively. The annualized ratio of net investment income to average
         net assets would have been 4.93%, 5.27%, 3.51%, and 2.60% respectively.
(e)      Represents the total dollar amount of commissions paid on equity
         security transactions divided by the total number of shares purchased
         and sold by the respective porfolio for which commissions were charged.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996


(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Ohio National Variable Account D (the Account) is a separate account of The
    Ohio National Life Insurance Company (ONLIC) and all obligations arising
    under variable annuity contracts are general corporate obligations of ONLIC.
    The account has been registered as a unit investment trust under the
    Investment Company Act of 1940.

    Assets of the Account are invested in shares of Ohio National Fund, Inc.
    (the Fund), a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund's
    investments are subject to varying degrees of market, interest and financial
    risks; the issuers' abilities to meet certain obligations may be affected by
    economic developments in their respective industries.

    Investments are valued at the net asset value of fund shares held at
    December 31, 1996. Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income
    and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net
    realized capital gain or loss is determined on the basis of average cost.

    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.

(2) INVESTMENTS

    National Fund, Inc. owned by the respective subaccounts were:

               OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT D DECEMBER 31, 1996
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996


(4) RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

    ONLIC charges the Account's assets at the end of each valuation period,
    presently equal to 0.35% on an annual basis, of the contract value for
    administrative expenses, based on premiums established at the time the
    contracts are issued.

    Although variable annuity payments will differ according to the investment
    performance of the Accounts, they will not be affected by mortality or
    expense experience because ONLIC assumes the expense risk and the mortality
    risk under the contracts. ONLIC charges the Accounts' assets for assuming
    those risks, based on the contract value at a rate of 0.95% for mortality
    and expense risk.

    The expense risk assumed by ONLIC is the risk that the deductions for sales
    and administrative expenses provided for in the variable annuity contract
    may prove insufficient to cover the cost of those terms.

    The mortality risk results from a provision in the contract in which ONLIC
    agrees to make annuity payments regardless of how long a particular
    annuitant or other payee lives and how long all annuitants or other payees
    as a class live if payment options involving life contingencies are chosen.
    Those annuity payments are determined in accordance with annuity purchase
    rate provisions established at the time the contracts are issued.

(5) CONTRACT CHARGES

    No deduction for a sales charge is made from purchase payments. A withdrawal
    charge ranging from 0% to 7% may be assessed by ONLIC when a contract is
    surrendered or a partial withdrawal of a participant's account value is made
    for any other reason than to make a plan payment to a participant.

    A transfer fee is charged for each transfer from one subaccount to another.
    The fee is charged against the contract owner's equity in the subaccount
    from which the transfer is effected.

    State premium taxes presently range from 0% to 2 1/2% for these contracts.
    In those jurisdictions permitting, such taxes will be deducted when annuity
    payments begin. Elsewhere, they will be deducted from purchase payments.

(6) FEDERAL  INCOME TAXES

    Operations of the Account form part of, and are taxed with, operations of
    ONLIC which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
    Code. Taxes are the responsibility of the contract owner upon termination or
    withdrawal. No Federal income taxes are payable under present law on
    dividend income or capital gains distribution from the Fund shares held in
    the Account or on capital gains realized by the Account on redemption of the
    Fund shares.

(7)  NOTE TO SCHEDULE 1

     Schedule 1 presents the components of the change in the unit values, which
     are the basis for determining contract owners' equity. This schedule is
     presented for each series, as applicable, in the following format:

- -    Beginning unit value

- -    Reinvested capital gains and dividends

     (This amount reflects the increase in the unit value due to capital gain
     and dividend distributions from the underlying mutual fund.)

- -    Unrealized gain (loss)

     (This amount reflects the increase (decrease) in the unit value resulting
     from the market appreciation (depreciation) of the fund.)

- -    Expenses

     (This amount reflects the decrease in the unit value due to Risk and
     Administrative Expenses discussed in note 4 to the financial statements.)

- -    Ending unit value

- -    Percentage increase (decrease) in unit value.
