President's Message
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[John J. Palmer Photo]
Dear Investor:
First, I want to thank you for being an investor in the Ohio National Fund. All
of us here appreciate your support. We are pleased to provide you with an update
of Ohio National Fund's performance and investment activity for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
Looking Back
For some time now we have enjoyed an economic climate of reasonable growth, low
unemployment, modest interest rates, subdued inflation and stable corporate
earnings. Over the past year, however, while the overall direction has continued
to be favorable, the journey has not been an especially smooth one for many
investors. As a recent industry headline indicated, 1998's market "had it all."
Stock prices surged, swooned, and soared once more. As you would expect, Ohio
National's subaccounts followed similar patterns. A number of our funds did
well, including our S&P 500 Index portfolio, which had the best results of all
insurance company S&P Index funds, according to Lipper Analytical.
For some of our funds, results were not as we hoped. For those funds, we have
made adjustments in investment strategies which are already proving to get the
funds back on track. And to help our clients continue to pursue investment
diversification, plans are underway to provide more investment options in many
of our existing variable products.
Starting January 1999, we were also pleased to introduce Federated Global
Research Corp., as manager (on an interim basis, pending shareholder approval)
of the International and Global Contrarian portfolios of the Ohio National Fund.
Federated Investment Counseling (FIC) already manages the Blue Chip, Equity
Income and High Income Bond portfolios of Ohio National Fund. Both are part of
Pittsburgh-based Federated Investors, an investment manager founded in 1955
which now has more than $110 billion in managed assets.
The Importance of Diversification
After a year like 1998, it's important to continue to value the importance of
diversification. As a company, we certainly do not recommend investing solely in
the "style of the moment" or basing investment decisions strictly on market
timing. We remain dedicated to staying in step with -- and in some cases, even
ahead of -- other insurance companies and financial service providers when it
comes to improving our investment selections. We've always kept a strong focus
on providing our clients with diversified and innovative portfolio choices, and
we will continue this strategy in 1999.
Our focus on investment style choices and strong professional investment
managers means that we're working hard to provide even better products and
services for you.
The Market in General
The past year was one of unusual volatility for the stock market. The first
quarter saw double digit gains in major indices; the second quarter saw the
start of a meltdown in the mid- and small-cap sectors, but large caps managed to
push the S&P 500 Index to record levels. In the third quarter, the market
crumbled, with the month of August seeing declines of 14.5% or more in all
domestic indices, as well as a decline in both developed and emerging overseas
markets. September saw a general upturn in the markets, led by small-cap stocks,
only to see early October bring another wave of sell-offs to drive the indices
back down. The situation was reversed following three reductions in the Fed
Funds rate, easing a potential credit crunch and calming deflation fears. Since
then, the market has generally trended up, but the ground lost by small- and
mid-cap stocks in the second and third quarters has not been regained.
<PAGE> 2
As noted, this market had it all -- and then some. At Ohio National, you have
our commitment to focus on long-term perspectives and make carefully reasoned
judgments about our investment decisions.
In Closing
Information on your investments is contained in the following pages. Please note
in reviewing performance results that rates of return under variable contracts
differ from those of the underlying portfolios because of applicable charges for
mortality and expenses. Please contact your registered representative for
additional information on the financial protection and tax-deferred accumulation
options afforded by your variable annuity or variable universal life insurance
contract. As your needs change over time, he or she stands ready to serve you.
Thank you again for the confidence you have placed in Ohio National Fund as you
pursue your wealth-building endeavors. You can be assured that we will make
every effort to continue to merit that confidence.
Best regards,
/s/ JOHN J. PALMER

EQUITY PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The principal investment objective of the Equity Portfolio is long-term capital
growth. Current income is a secondary objective.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year 5.72%
Three-year 13.92%
Five-year 13.52%
Ten-year 12.66%
Since inception (1/14/71) 10.87%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The Equity Portfolio return was 5.72% for 1998. Although the large
capitalization stock portion of the portfolio provided returns consistent with
the major indices, the portfolio's exposure to small and mid-capitalization
stocks pulled the overall return down considerably. We were invested in these
areas because the valuations relative to the large capitalization stocks were
very attractive. Unfortunately, these areas corrected far more than the large
capitalization stocks and the major indices during the stock market downturn.
Even though the portfolio's returns were consistent with the major indices from
the October 8th market bottom through the end of the year, the performance
during the mid year market correction caused the portfolio to lag for the 1998
year.
We expect the stock market to continue in a volatile manner. We expect the U.S.
economy and economic activity around the world to slow somewhat during 1999. We
feel that growth will be rewarded and thus we will attempt to increase the
growth aspects of the portfolio.

BOND PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Bond Portfolio seeks to obtain a high level of income and opportunity for
capital appreciation consistent with preservation of capital.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year 5.22%
Three-year 6.04%
Five-year 6.40%
Ten-year 8.15%
Since inception (11/2/82) 8.48%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The bond portfolio returned 5.22% in 1998 versus 8.44% for the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Intermediate Bond Index. With a lesser percentage of U.S.
Treasury bonds in the portfolio versus the index, the performance of our fund
suffered during a year in which corporate spreads of all types widened
significantly. In particular, our fund has a large number of "Baa-rated"
corporates which experienced poor performance because of liquidity and credit
concerns which overtook the bond market in the last half of the year.
So far in 1999 through January, corporate bonds in the "Baa" category are
performing better than U.S. Treasury bonds because credit spreads are tightening
and we are more optimistic on the relative performance of the fund this year.

[GRAPH]
Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will
vary. All returns reflect reinvested dividends. The portfolio's holdings may
differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged
and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management or trading.
Neither the portfolio nor the index is open to direct investment.

OMNI PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Omni Portfolio seeks a high level of long-term total rate of return
consistent with prudent investment risks. Total return consists of current
income and capital appreciation.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year 4.53%
Three-year 12.58%
Five-year 11.75%
Ten-year 11.50%
Since inception (9/10/84) 11.50%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The Omni portfolio return was 4.53% for 1998. Although the large capitalization
stock portion of the portfolio provided returns consistent with the major
indices, the portfolio's exposure to small and mid-capitalization stocks pulled
the overall return down. We were invested in these areas because the valuations
relative to the large capitalization stocks were very attractive. Unfortunately,
these areas corrected far more than the large capitalization stocks and the
major indices during the stock market downturn. The fixed income portion of the
portfolio consists primarily of investment grade corporate bonds. This portion
of the fixed income market did not perform as well as the Government Security
portion of the market. This was caused by investors' concern with worldwide
economic issues and political uncertainties; the result was a flight to safety.
We expect the stock market to continue in a volatile manner. We expect the U.S.
economy and economic activity around the world to slow somewhat during 1999. We
will focus our efforts on investing more in growth issues and companies growing
their dividends at least two to three times GDP. We expect the corporate bond
sector of the fixed income market to perform more favorably. Asset allocations
will remain near current levels.

[GRAPH]
Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will
vary. All returns reflect reinvested dividends. The portfolio's holdings may
differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged
and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management or trading.
Neither the portfolio nor the index is open to direct investment.

OBJECTIVE
The International Portfolio seeks long-term capital growth by investing
primarily in securities of foreign Companies.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS:
One-year 3.88%
Three-year 6.69%
Five-year 8.03%
Since inception (5/3/93) 11.36%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
Despite continued concerns over the impact of the Asian crisis on global
economies, European indices surged ahead until mid-July. At that time, Russia
devalued its currency and defaulted on its Ruble denominated obligations, the
outlook in Latin American markets worsened as Brazil became an area of increased
worries, and a large U.S. hedge fund collapsed in September. Within a few weeks,
mature markets lost 20 to 30% while emerging markets were once again decimated.
In Asia, Japanese equities weakened farther as additional evidence of
deteriorating economic conditions and slow progress made toward the
implementation of long-awaited banking reforms. Global market developments
placed other Asian markets under pressure. Meanwhile, in Latin America, the
possibility of additional currency devaluations continued to weigh on local
stock markets.
In such an environment, small capitalization stocks fared even worse than large
capitalization stocks and suffered steep losses. Smaller stocks account for the
large majority of the Fund's holdings: while world markets stabilized later in
the year. Blue chips gained and reversed most of their losses, many of the small
issues did not recover. The performance of the Funds was therefore negatively
impacted by those developments.

Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will
vary. All returns reflect reinvested dividends. The portfolio's holdings may
differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged
and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management or trading.

The risk associated with investing on a worldwide basis includes differences in
regulation of financial data and reporting and currency exchanges as well as
economic and political systems which may be different from those in the United
States. The prices of small company stocks are generally more volatile than the
prices of large company stocks.

Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The first six months of 1998 was a period of surging stock market gains -- not
the kind of environment in which this conservative portfolio outperforms. While
the portfolio participated in the market's advance, its asset allocation and
value approach to security selection meant that it had much less exposure than
many large-cap stock funds to the classic types of stocks that were leading the
market, primarily blue chip growth companies. When the bull market turned
bearish in the summer of 1998, the portfolio's defensive stance served
shareholders well. During the quarter ended September 30, for example, the
portfolio held up significantly better than the broad market. When the S&P 500
fell almost 15% in August, the portfolio was down less than 5%.
As of this writing the stock market has roared back, recovering lost ground in
record time. As a result, stock valuations seem high to us, just as they
appeared last summer before the steep sell-off. The difference is that all signs
now seem to point to a definite slowing in the economy next year; demand for US
production is dropping, and corporate pricing power is under pressure around the
world, hurting profits. On the positive side, low interest rates could provide
some cushion for consumer spending. Nevertheless, the stock market has
traditionally followed profit trends, which suggest another correction could be
in the offing. If this occurs, the Capital Appreciation portfolio should weather
the storm better than the overall market. Our investment approach will remain
the same regardless of what unfolds. We seek to provide attractive total returns
over time for investors who prefer not to be exposed to the full blast of stock
market volatility.

SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Small Cap Portfolio seeks maximum capital growth by investing primarily in
common stocks of small- and medium-size companies.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year 10.57%
Three-year 12.18%
Since inception (4/30/94) 19.28%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
While 1998 has been a volatile year with many cross-currents, there remains a
generally positive environment for most investors: low inflation, low
unemployment, and steady but moderate economic growth.
International financial crises, particularly in Asia, stalled many economies
around the world and affected corporate growth globally. This backdrop favored
large companies for most of the year, but from the bottom of the October
correction, small-cap performance has improved significantly. From October 8
through December 4, the benchmark Russell 2000 outperformed both the S&P 500 and
the DJIA by more than 6% and 9%, respectively.
The Ohio National Small-Cap Fund has benefited from this upswing in
small-company stocks. It has dramatically outperformed the Russell 2000, gaining
more than 46.0% from its low, versus 30% for the index since October. Using our
disciplined, bottom-up process, we continue to find companies with strong
fundamentals and innovative products. The valuation differential, which favors
small companies, is encouraging, and we are optimistic that as the economic
environment remains subdued, the superior growth characteristics of small-caps
stocks will be realized.
We enter 1999 with a generally positive economic setting. It is expected that
interest rates around the world will continue to fall, with expectations that
inflation will remain low. Economic growth in the United States continues at a
slow, but positive pace, and Europe should benefit from the cross-border
business brought by the new euro. Although the worst of the crisis in Asia may
be behind us, we believe the weakness in Asia will be measured in years, not
months.
These factors should provide a favorable environment overall for financial
assets, particularly stocks of smaller companies. We believe the growth in
communications and global commerce should continue to provide opportunities for
many companies. We are excited about the opportunities being created in the
small-cap market, and we are confident that on a long-term basis, small
companies will provide superior returns.

GLOBAL CONTRARIAN PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Global Contrarian Portfolio seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by
investing in foreign and domestic securities that are undervalued or presently
out of favor with other investors but have positive prospects for eventual
appreciation.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year 3.53%
Three-year 9.02%
Since inception (3/31/95) 9.64%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The Global Contrarian Portfolio contains mostly small and obscure stocks which
we believe are neglected. They also have exposure to commodity and/or "hard
asset" related stocks in U.S. as well as foreign markets. Finally, they hold
emerging market debt instruments, both corporate and sovereign. Stock markets
fell sharply around the world during the third quarter and then rebounded
sharply during the fourth quarter. Small stocks and commodity related stocks
continued to fare poorly, especially compared to the big growth stocks.
The portfolio has been reducing its exposure to commodities-related securities
over the last eighteen months as weaker global economic growth is anticipated in
the medium-term following the Asian crisis. Exposure to certain Latin American
debt instruments has also been reduced. Simultaneously, the portfolio recently
started buying selected stocks and bonds that appear depresses significantly in
a few Asian countries, as well as in Australia, the U.S., and Europe.
CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 INVESTMENT
[GRAPH]
Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will
vary. All returns reflect reinvested dividends. The portfolio's holdings may
differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged
and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management or trading.
Neither the portfolio nor the index is open to direct investment.

The risk associated with investing on a worldwide basis includes differences in
regulation of financial data and reporting and currency exchanges as well as
economic and political systems which may be different from those in the United
States. The prices of small company stocks are generally more volatile than the
prices of large company stocks.

AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The principal investment objective of the Aggressive Growth Portfolio is to seek
capital growth. The portfolio invests in a diversified collection of securities
believed to represent attractive growth opportunities.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TOTAL RETURNS:
One-year 7.84%
Three-year 6.93%
Since inception (3/31/95) 12.47%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The portfolio has outperformed the small-cap Russell 2000 for the year, but
lagged the Russell Mid-Cap Growth and S&P 500 Indexes in spite of appropriate
strategic moves. Performance was especially hurt by our heavy positions in
small-cap stocks, which were devastated by the flight to quality, even though
the majority of our investments have hit their profit targets. Stock selection
emphasized dependable growth companies, whose profits should hold up even in the
face of an economic downturn.
We began positioning the portfolio's investments for a deteriorating economic
climate and difficult stock market during the third quarter. We decreased
exposure to cyclicals and retail stocks, and increased cash to reinforce the
portfolio's defensive posture. Heavy cash positions hurt relative performance
after the market began to rebound in October. Financial Stocks were also trimmed
due to their lower earnings trend.
Most macroeconomic indicators point to a decline in U.S. economic activity and
corporate profits in the next few quarters. The Fed appears willing to counter
the slowdown with the use of monetary stimulus. Although we remain cautious,
valuations for all but the few largest stocks have become extremely attractive.
We will continue to exploit the best growth opportunities in companies with
capable management and dependable earnings.

COMMENTS
We can sum up the second half of 1998 in one word -- volatile. The large-cap
indexes hit their summer peak in mid-July, then lost ground through the rest of
July and hit a low for the third quarter on the last day of August. In
September, stocks staged a healthy rebound, but did not recover to their levels
at the end of the second quarter. The market declined significantly in early
October, only to rebound even more dramatically through the end of the year.
Throughout the year, small-cap and mid-cap stocks did not participate fully when
the market was going up, but they certainly participated when the market went
down. We entered the fourth quarter with the S&P 500 Index up 6% and the Russell
2000 Index down 16% for the year -- a remarkable divergence of returns.
We think that smaller stocks will participate more fully in any market increases
this year for several reasons. Earnings growth has slowed drastically for the
larger companies that make up the S&P 500 Index. At the same time earnings
growth in the small and mid-cap universe remains strong and valuations are at or
near all time lows. Finally, while emerging market economies continue to be a
concern, we believe any improvement in these countries should make investors

GROWTH & INCOME PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Growth & Income Portfolio's investment objective is long-term total return.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
TOTAL RETURN:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year 7.09%
Since inception (1/3/97) 21.05%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
Fueled by a strong, snap back rally in the market, the Ohio National Growth &
Income Portfolio rose 16.5% in the fourth quarter. The strong rebound helped to
mitigate the severe underperformance investors in small and mid-cap stocks
endured throughout most of the second and third quarter in 1998.
Having endured a strong market decline in the spring and summer, we positioned
the portfolio in a defensive posture entering the fourth quarter. We expanded
our weighting to convertible, preferred, and utility shares. That conservative
strategy hindered our fourth quarter results, as many stocks rallied strongly
from their summer lows.
Looking forward, we maintain some optimism that the small and mid-cap stocks may
catch up to the large cap stocks in 1999 after four years of general
underperformance. The deflationary forces of excess global capacity coupled with
slowing demand from most energy markets have already had a negative effect on
the profits of some large-cap multinational companies.

S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The S&P 500 Index Portfolio seeks total return approximating that of the S&P 500
Index, including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that
of the S&P 500 Index.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TOTAL RETURN:
One-year 30.00%
Since inception (1/3/97) 31.03%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
1998 turned out to be a very volatile, but yet another good year for the S&P 500
Index and for your S&P 500 Index Fund. After the 1st seven months of 1998, we
had seen two months of negative returns, but good overall gains of nearly 16.50%
for the S&P Index. In August, however, with negative sentiment leading the way,
the market dropped 14.6%, wiping out most of the gains for the year. Next we had
strong months in September through December, bringing the index all the way back
for a total return of 28.58% for all of 1998, including dividends reinvested
back into the index.
Your Ohio National Index Fund mirrored these volatile ups and downs, leading all
index funds in return most of the year. It finished the year as the number one
index fund in the country, with a total return after expenses of 30.00%, or
1.42% higher than the actual index. The next highest return for "Insurance
Products Underlying Funds -- S&P 500 Index Funds," was 28.72% for the year. The
highest return for S&P 500 Index Funds -- non-insurance product related -- was
29.34% for the year. Returns are reported by Lipper's analytical review
services, ranking over 130 S&P 500 index funds.
1999 is a promising year. Economic growth fundamentals are good, with wage
inflation pressures lessening, low interest rates and forecast low inflation. We
expect GDP growth to remain strong, though lower than the 3.9% rate for 1998.
Year 2000 hiccups will probably occur during 1999, plus some damage from weak
Asian and South American economies. As the economy slows from its 3.9% growth
rate, expect questions of stock market overvaluation to recur. Ultimately, it
will be another volatile year in the stock market, but we expect to be
discussing stock market gains with you 12 months from now.

Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will
vary. All returns reflect reinvested dividends. The portfolio's holdings may
differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged
and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management or trading.
Neither the portfolio nor the index is open to direct investment.

SOCIAL AWARENESS PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Social Awareness Portfolio is to provide long-term growth
of capital by investing primarily in the common stocks and other equity
securities of companies that, in the Adviser's opinion, conduct their business
in a way that enhances society's quality of life. The portfolio's social concern
criteria will necessarily limit the universe of securities that may be selected
for this portfolio. However, the Adviser believes the portfolio's objective of
long-term capital growth can be achieved despite this limitation.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
TOTAL RETURN:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year (22.41%)
Since inception (1/3/97) (1.24%)
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
As expected, 1998 has turned out to be a volatile period for equity markets. The
magnitude of the swings, however, has been surprising. The general market peaked
in late April. In response to economic turmoil worldwide, investors sought out
highly liquid, blue chip issues and Treasury securities in a flight to quality.
As a result, small capitalization issues suffered the eighth 30%+ decline over
the past 72 years. Although markets have rebounded since early October, many
securities have yet to fully recover. As of year end, the average NASDAQ issue
remains 38% off its 52 week high and the average S&P 500 issue remains 19% off
its 52 week high.
The Social Awareness Portfolio has been hurt by the market turmoil. The fund
normally invests in a range of large, medium and small capitalization issues.
Cash positions were slightly over 10% at the end of April. The cash was invested
gradually over the next several months, only to feel the brunt of the selloff in
August and early October. Issues that normally sell between 15 to 17 times
earnings, or in line with estimated future growth rates, sold for 10 times
earnings at the end of the third quarter. For the year, positive results from
technology and transportation issues were offset by weakness in other areas,
most notably capital goods and energy holdings.
In conclusion, markets in 1999 will still experience volatility. Economic
conditions world wide are uncertain, but look to be mending. Expectations for
corporate profitability could also be too high. We are hopeful smaller and
medium capitalization issues will recover to reasonable valuation levels.
Clearly, short term results for the Social Awareness Portfolio have been
unacceptable. However, prospects remain solid and we are taking some measures
which would mitigate some of the fluctuations experienced during the past year.

STRATEGIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Strategic Income Portfolio seeks to generate high current income by
investing at least 80% of its assets in income-producing securities, including
at least 40% of assets in a core group of U.S. government and corporate
fixed-income securities, and the remainder in other income-producing securities.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
TOTAL RETURN:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year (1.42%)
Since inception (1/3/97) 3.55%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The Strategic Income Fund has always been an interesting product. Its concept is
unique and our approach conservative in pursuing a high level of income. Last
year was successful in terms of maintaining a high-income stream and low NAV
volatility. Unfortunately, market dislocations resulted in a negative total
return in a calendar year. What happened and how are we reacting? Simply stated,
international turmoil resulted in a "crisis of confidence" that drove investors
away from risky assets into the safety of U.S. Treasury securities. Yields
declined dramatically for Treasury notes, but only slightly for corporates and
mbs's. At the peak of despair, corporate bond valuations were priced as if a
recession was raging and defaults imminent.
Our fixed income outlook for 1999 includes the following key points: Positive
economic growth (2% to 3% for the year) and mild inflation pressures (2%); Bond
yields remaining within a 4.5% to 5.5% range; Federal Reserve to lower key
short-term rates 25-75 basis points; and improving market liquidity. We also
believe REIT's offer tremendous value as evidenced by P/E's close to 10X and
revenue growth for most operations are expected to top 8% in 1999.

STELLAR PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Stellar Portfolio seeks to maximize total return by investing approximately
15% to 25% of its assets in each of the following categories: domestic equities,
domestic bonds, foreign securities, real estate securities, and precious metal
and/or money market securities.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
TOTAL RETURN:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
One-year 2.92%
Since inception (1/3/97) 6.28%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The prevailing market conditions were ideal for investors in the Stellar
portfolio. The Fund insulated shareholders from much of the volatility in equity
prices, while benefiting in performance terms from the rally in bond prices. The
REIT portfolio suffered the most severe damage during the second and third
quarters, due principally to a change in the tax code and slowing growth for the
group. The domestic equity portfolio was the most volatile and rewarding. The
key to success in the U.S. was the decision to focus on large capitalization
growth companies. This subset of the market moved to higher valuation levels
throughout the year, as investors became more and more concerned about a decline
in revenue growth.
Investor expectations for 1999 are still out of line with reality. As we have
seen thus far in 1998, the market reacts violently to disappointments and tends
to overreact in both the positive and negative. We believe that the market must
adjust expectations for earnings growth in 1999 to reflect the slowing
manufacturing activity and the rising costs in the services sector, but still
positive year over year growth.

RELATIVE VALUE PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Relative Value Portfolio seeks the highest total return as is consistent
with reasonable risk by investing in stocks deemed to represent characteristics
with low volatility, above-average yields and are undervalued relative to the
stocks comprising the S&P Composite Stock Index.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TOTAL RETURN:
One-year 20.72%
Since inception (1/3/97) 24.53%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
During the past twelve months, the equity market saw significant volatility due
to concerns over Asia, corporate earnings, and the turmoil in the White House.
How did the portfolio perform versus the average growth and income fund? By
adhering to the tenets of the valuation process employed by the fund, the
securities selected are typically those which exhibit a higher degree of
operating and financial stability. During volatile periods in the market, stocks
possessing these attributes command a premium in valuation as a "flight to
quality" intensifies demand for these stocks. For the twelve months ending
November 30, 1998 the Relative Value Fund generated a total rate in excess of
16% on a net asset value basis. This compares to an 11.61% return for the
average growth and income fund as reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
As we look to 1999, we forecast a slow growth economic environment where
inflation continues to remain benign and corporate earnings growth slows to
single digit increases. Technology and healthcare will continue to provide
market leadership in the fund and we will continue to pursue opportunities in
the consumer cyclicals, communication, financial services, and energy companies.

Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will
vary. All returns reflect reinvested dividends. The portfolio's holdings may
differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged
and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management or trading.
Neither the portfolio nor the index is open to direct investment.

The Blue Chip Portfolio seeks growth of capital and income by investing in
securities of high quality companies.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998

TOTAL RETURN:
Since inception (5/1/98) 2.34%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
1998 was an extremely difficult year for active value managers. The S&P 500's
28.7% return was dominated by a handful of ultra-large growth oriented
Technology, Pharmaceutical, and Telephone companies. The return for the average
stock in the S&P 500, as measured by the equal-weighted S&P 500, was only 12.8%.
This nearly 16% disparity between the average stock and the market itself is
something the market has not experienced in the last 25 years. In this difficult
environment the portfolio, from its inception on May 1, 1998, returned 2.34%.
This return was in line with our value oriented benchmarks: The average Lipper
Growth & Income fund returned 2.59% and the S&P Value Index returned 1.41%. We
are obviously not pleased with our relative performance versus the S&P 500, but
given our investment style and market conditions, the returns are not
unreasonable. It is worth noting that historically, after periods of extremely
narrow market leadership dominated by a handful of growth stocks, active value
management can provide superior returns.
As we enter 1999, the markets are faced with numerous challenges. At a P/E ratio
nearing 30 times, and price-to-book ration north of 8 times and a dividend yield
of 1.3%, the S&P 500 is in uncharted valuation territory for this point in any
business cycle. In this type of environment, we believe that our value
disciplines -- identifying leading companies which are temporarily out of favor
and appear inexpensive relative to their history relative to the market as well
as to their expected growth -- will provide a more reasonable ride as
rationality works its way back into the market.

COMMENTS
The S&P 500 has just completed its fourth consecutive year of 20%+ gains. After
falling nearly 20% from its July 17 market peak, the S&P began a dramatic
recovery in early October, to finish the year with a total return of 28.58%.
While this is an extremely impressive showing, it was accompanied by volatility
which had been absent for a number of years. Additionally, the advance was
concentrated in a handful of companies. Specifically, 20 stocks accounted for
59% of the market's rise, while 100 stocks accounted for 85% of its gain.
Unfortunately, the median gain for a stock in the S&P 500 was only 2% with over
70% of the stocks lagging the index return. Since inception on May 1, 1998
through December 31, 1998, the Blue Chip portfolio's total return of 5.92% was
ahead of the 2.00% return of the average equity income fund.
The economic outlook for 1999 appears weak, particularly on a global basis. Only
limited signs point to a bottoming of Asians economies, while Latin American
economies continue to decelerate. The U.S. economic picture is mixed. Industrial
production is weakening even as consumer spending and confidence remains strong,
aided by declines in energy prices and interest rates. In fact, inflation is
close to zero and deflation has become a real fear.

HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The High Income Bond Portfolio seeks high current income by investing primarily
in lower rated corporate debt obligations.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
TOTAL RETURNS:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Since inception (5/1/98) (0.20%)
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The 12 months ending December 31, 1998 was marked by volatility and generally
disappointing returns from a high yield bond perspective. There were several
reasons for the volatility and disappointing returns including problems in the
international arena, a mid summer stock market swoon, hedge fund problems,
falling commodity prices, and a growing consensus in the latter part of 1998
pointing to a slowing of the domestic economy in 1999. These factors caused high
yield bonds to underperform high quality bonds. For example, the Lehman Brothers
High Yield Bond Index returned 1.87% substantially underperforming the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a measure of high quality bond performance, which
returned 8.70%
As we look out into 1999, many contradicting factors are present. On the
negative side, concerns continue regarding our international trading partners
such as Japan and Latin America on the domestic economy, falling commodity
prices, and the uncertainty of Y2K and the volatility of the stock market. On
the plus side, the consensus economic forecast sees the domestic economy
continuing its remarkable growth for another year although at a slower pace,
inflation is almost non-existent, and most importantly, the yield spread between
high yield bonds and Treasury securities remains very wide especially in light
of the amazing resilience of the domestic economy. Overall, wide spreads and
positive economic growth should make 1999 a good year for high yield securities

SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
OBJECTIVE
The Small Cap Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily
in common stocks of emerging growth companies.
PERFORMANCE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TOTAL RETURN:
Since inception (5/1/98) 4.62%
</TABLE>
Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will vary so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Actual results for variable
annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract
charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges for mortality and
expenses.
COMMENTS
The small-cap sector was volatile, depressing, inspiring, and when all was done,
reasonably flat in performance for the year. Fortunately, we managed to provide
significantly better returns.
The portfolio rose 36.33% in the fourth quarter 1998. This compares to the
benchmark Russell 2000 Growth that rallied up 23.64% in the fourth quarter to
close the year with a modest 1.23% return. On the strength of a strong fourth
quarter, we produced a since inception return of 4.62% versus a decline of
10.07% in the benchmark Russell 2000 Growth.
The small-cap market provided investors a great challenge last year. Our
diligent research effort paid off significantly, enabling us to understand,
analyze, and finally purchase a broad number of truly exciting emerging growth
companies and navigate the volatility that characterized the year. We go into
1999 cautiously optimistic about the small-cap investment environment.

[GRAPH]
Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will
vary. All returns reflect reinvested dividends. The portfolio's holdings may
differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged
and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management or trading.
Neither the portfolio nor the index is open to direct investment.

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 twenty separate investment portfolios that seek the following
investment objectives:
o Equity Portfolio -- long-term growth of capital by investing principally
in common stocks or other equity securities. Current income is a secondary
objective.
o Money Market Portfolio -- maximum current income consistent with
preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in high quality money
market instruments.
o Bond Portfolio -- high level of return consistent with preservation of
capital by investing primarily in high quality intermediate and long-term
debt securities.
o Omni Portfolio -- high level of long-term total return consistent with
preservation of capital by investing in stocks, bonds, and money market
instruments.
o International Portfolio -- long-term capital growth by investing primarily
in common stocks of foreign companies.
o 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.
o Small Cap Portfolio -- maximum capital growth by investing primarily in
common stocks of small- and medium-sized companies.
o Global Contrarian Portfolio -- long-term growth of capital by investing in
foreign and domestic securities believed to be undervalued or presently
out of favor.
o Aggressive Growth Portfolio -- capital growth.
o Core Growth Portfolio -- long-term capital appreciation.
o Growth & Income Portfolio -- long-term total return by investing in equity
and debt securities focusing on small- and mid-cap companies that offer
potential for capital appreciation, current income, or both.
o S&P 500 Index Portfolio -- total return that approximates that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500") by investing in common stocks and
in stock index futures contracts hedged by U.S. Government obligations,
investment grade corporate bonds and cash equivalents.
o Social Awareness Portfolio -- long-term capital growth by investing
primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of companies that,
in the Advisor's opinion, conduct their business in a way that enhances
society's quality of life.
o Strategic Income Portfolio -- high current income by investing at least
40% of its assets in a core group of U.S. government and corporate fixed
income securities and the remainder in other income producing securities.
o Stellar Portfolio -- maximum total return by investing in domestic and
foreign securities (equity and fixed income), real estate, precious metal
securities, and money market securities.
o Relative Value Portfolio -- maximum total return consistent with
reasonable risk by investing primarily in equity securities.
The following portfolios commenced operations on May 1, 1998:
o Blue Chip Portfolio -- growth of capital and income by concentrating
investment decisions in securities of high quality companies.
o Equity Income Portfolio -- above average income and capital appreciation
by investing primarily in high quality income producing equity securities
including common stock, preferred stock, REIT's, and securities
convertible into common stock.
122
<PAGE> 123
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC. December 31, 1998
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
o High Income Bond Portfolio -- seek high current income by investing
primarily in lower rated corporate debt obligations commonly referred to
as "junk bonds". The portfolio's investments are generally rated Baa or
lower by Moody's, or BBB or lower by S&P or Fitch.
o Small Cap Growth -- capital appreciation by investing in and actively
managing equity securities in emerging growth companies.
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 but the Money Market Portfolio, 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
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 value 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, Aggressive Growth, Stellar,
Blue Chip, and Small Cap 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 contracts). 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.
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
123
<PAGE> 124
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC. December 31, 1998
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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.
Futures 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.'s
("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.
The S&P 500 Index Portfolio currently holds investments in S&P 500 Index
Futures Contracts. The contracts in the S&P 500 Index Portfolio are fully
hedged with commercial paper and/or US Treasuries. The Aggressive Growth
Portfolio currently holds investments in Russell 2000 Index Futures Contracts
and S&P 500 Index Future Contracts. The futures contracts in the S&P 500
Index Portfolio and the Aggressive Growth Portfolio at December 31, 1998 are
as follows:

</TABLE>
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, Aggressive
Growth, Stellar, Blue Chip, and Small Cap 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 using the first-in, first-out method except in the case of the
Aggressive Growth and Growth and Income Portfolios 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,
Aggressive Growth, Stellar, Blue Chip and Small Cap 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 transaction.
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, for
tax purposes, 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.

OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC. December 31, 1998
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to wash sales and net
operating losses. The character of distributions made during the period from
net investment income or net realized gains, if any, may differ from their
ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. On the statement
of assets and liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences,
the following reclassifications were made in the Small Cap, Aggressive
Growth, Core Growth and Small Cap Growth Portfolios: accumulated net
investment loss has been decreased by $187,071, $21,640, $62,638 and $17,952,
respectively, resulting in a reclassification adjustment to decrease Paid-in
capital in excess of par value by $187,071, $21,640, $62,638 and $17,952
respectively. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset
value per share.
For Federal income tax purposes, the Bond, Omni, Small Cap, Core Growth,
Growth and Income, Social Awareness, Strategic Income, Blue Chip, Equity
Income and Small Cap Growth Portfolios had capital loss carryovers of
$274,501, $681,856, $4,198,422, $1,632,809, $3,005,094, $622,020, $97,030,
$18,271, $5,714 and $414,923 respectively, at December 31, 1998. If not
offset by capital gains, $41,235 will expire in 2003 in the Bond Portfolio,
$2,893 and $447,567 will expire in 2005 in the Bond and Core Growth
Portfolios, respectively and $230,373, $681,856, $4,198,422, $1,185,242,
$3,005,094, $622,022, $97,030, $18,271, $5,714 and $414,923 will expire in
2006 in the Bond, Omni, Small Cap, Core Growth, Growth and Income, Social
Awareness, Strategic Income, Blue Chip, Equity Income and Small Cap Growth
Portfolios, 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.
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.
Expenses directly attributable to a portfolio are charged to that portfolio.
Expenses not directly attributed to a portfolio are allocated on the basis of
relative net assets.
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.
The gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments in each

OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT D
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 portfolio 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, 1998. Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income
and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net
realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of average
cost.
ONLIC performs investment advisory services on behalf of the Ohio National
Fund, Inc. in which the Account invests. For these services, the Company
receives fees from the mutual funds. These fees are paid to an affiliate of
the Company.
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
At December 31, 1998 the aggregate cost and number of shares of Ohio

</TABLE>
(4) RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
ONLIC charges the Account's assets at the end of each valuation period,
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 differ according to the investment
performance of the Accounts, they are not 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 1.00% 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 contracts
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 a 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 the 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.
