INTRODUCTION
Shares of the Fund are currently sold only to the AAL Variable Annuity Account
I (the "Variable Account") to fund benefits under certificates of membership
and flexible premium deferred variable annuity (the "Certificates") issued by
Aid Association for Lutherans ("AAL") and the Variable Account. The rights of
the Variable Account as shareholder of the Fund should be distinguished from
the rights of the Certificate Owners, which are described in the Certificates.
A prospectus with respect to the variable annuity Certificates accompanies this
prospectus and describes those rights in detail.
Certificates are available as a benefit to those eligible for membership in AAL
and to employees of AAL and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies who
reside in Wisconsin. AAL is a fraternal benefit society incorporated under the
laws of the state of Wisconsin.
Each Certificate Owner allocates variable annuity premiums relating to his or
her Certificate among five Subaccounts of the Variable Account or to a Fixed
Account. Fixed Account premiums will be invested by AAL as part of the general
account assets of AAL. The premiums allocated to the Subaccounts will be
invested in corresponding Portfolios of the Fund. The prospectus for the
Certificate describes the relationship between changes in the value of shares
of each Fund Portfolio and changes in the value or benefits payable under the
Certificate.
Performance results and financial statements of the Fund are included in the
Fund's SAI. Performance information is also provided in this prospectus for the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Wilshire Small Cap Index
and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, since certain of the Portfolios
seek to achieve investment results that approximate the performance of these
indices. See "Performance Information." While this information may be helpful
in evaluating a Portfolio and its investment objectives, past performance
should not be regarded as a representation of future results of the Portfolios.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Set out below are the Financial Highlights for each Portfolio of the Fund
expressed in terms of one share outstanding for the period from June 14, 1995
(commencement of operations) through December 31, 1995. The information
contained in the Financial Highlights has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP,
the Fund's independent auditors, whose unqualified report thereon is contained
in the Fund's SAI. The Financial Highlights should be read in conjunction with
the Fund's audited financial statements, and notes thereto, which are contained
in the Fund's SAI. The SAI may be obtained, without charge, as indicated on
page 1 of this prospectus. Additional information about the performance of the
Fund and its Portfolios has been included in the Fund's annual report to
shareholders, which may also be obtained upon request, without charge. The
Financial Highlights presented herein are not necessarily indicative of future
results.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of each of the Portfolios is a fundamental policy
which cannot be changed without the vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares of a Portfolio. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or in
the SAI, the investment policies of each Portfolio may be changed from time to
time by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
The variable annuity premiums from each Certificate Owner are invested in the
Variable Account in combination with those of many other Certificate Owners.
The Portfolios provide diversification by investing the Variable Account's
assets in the securities of different companies, government agencies, and other
types of debt securities. The Portfolios furnish experienced management to
select and monitor these investments. Each Certificate Owner has an indirect
interest in each of the securities held by each Portfolio he or she selects.
Certificate Owners are not "shareholders" of the Fund. Rather, the Variable
Account of AAL is the shareholder, although it will generally pass through
voting rights to the Certificate Owners.
Because the Portfolios invest in securities such as stocks and bonds, the
yields and values of which fluctuate with market conditions, the value of
shares in the Portfolios will rise and fall over time resulting in increases
and decreases in the value of the Owner's Certificate. AAL (the "Adviser") is
responsible for evaluating and selecting the securities held by the Portfolios
and will use its professional expertise and experience to try to meet the
Portfolios' objectives, although there can be no assurance that the Portfolios'
objectives will be attained.
THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
OBJECTIVE: This Portfolio seeks to provide maximum current income, to the
extent consistent with liquidity and a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, by investing in a diversified portfolio of high quality, short-term
money market instruments.
POLICIES: The Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality,
short-term money market instruments, including:
(1) Obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities, or shares of money market mutual funds that
limit their investments to the foregoing securities. As to securities
issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities, the degree
of government support for such securities may vary;
(2) Certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances and similar obligations
of U.S. banks, savings associations, foreign branches of U.S. banks,
and domestic branches of foreign banks. Issuing banks must have total
assets at the time of purchase in excess of $1 billion, and be members
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;
(3) Commercial paper which at the date of investment is rated (or
guaranteed by a company whose commercial paper is rated) in one of the
two highest categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, or, if unrated, issued by a corporation with outstanding
short-term debt which has an equivalent or better rating at the time
of investment;
(4) Corporate obligations, including variable rate master notes, which, at
the date of investment, are rated in one of the two highest categories
by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if
unrated, issued by a corporation with outstanding short-term debt
which has an equivalent or better rating at the time of investment.
Variable rate master notes are unsecured obligations, redeemable upon
notice, that permit investment of fluctuating amounts, at varying
rates of interest, pursuant to direct arrangements with the issuer;
(5) Short-term Eurodollar and Yankee bank obligations. Eurodollar bank
obligations are dollar-denominated certificates of deposit or time
deposits issued outside the U.S. capital markets by foreign branches
of U.S. banks or by foreign banks. Yankee bank obligations are
dollar-denominated obligations issued in the U.S. capital markets by
foreign banks; and
(6) Repurchase agreements that are collateralized by the securities listed
in (1) and (2) above.
All of the Portfolio's investments will mature in 397 days or less and the
Portfolio will maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of not
more than 90 days. In some instances, the Portfolio may purchase variable rate
securities with actual maturities of 397 days or more, but only under
conditions established by Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit
such securities to be considered to have maturities of less than 397 days.
FUND PROSPECTUS

<PAGE> 10
===============================================================================
A A L V A R I A B L E A N N U I T Y
The yield on these securities varies in relation to changes in specific money
market rates, such as the "Fed Funds Rate." These changes are reflected in
adjustments to the yields of the variable rate securities, and different
securities may have different adjustment rates.
A description of the ratings provided by certain nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations (Moody's, Duff & Phelps and S&P) is included
in "APPENDIX: SECURITIES RATINGS" in the SAI.
INVESTMENT RISKS: While the value of securities held by the AAL Variable
Product Money Market Portfolio may be less sensitive to interest rate changes,
shareholders should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates, this
Portfolio's yield may tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing money market
rates, and in periods of rising interest rates, this Portfolio's yield may tend
to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to this Portfolio from the continuous sales of its shares may be
invested in portfolio instruments producing lower yields than the balance of
its portfolio investments, thereby somewhat reducing its yield. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite may be true. Also, to the extent that this
Portfolio invests in Eurodollar and Yankee bank obligations, it may be subject
to risks of the type discussed under "OTHER INVESTMENT AND RISK FACTORS
REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS--Foreign Securities." Finally, the Portfolio invests in
portfolio instruments of shorter durations in order to provide the flexibility
to redeem shares that the Variable Account purchases, pursuant to certain "free
look" provisions described in the accompanying prospectus relating to the
Certificates.
THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT BOND PORTFOLIO
OBJECTIVE: This Portfolio seeks to achieve investment results that approximate
the total return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (the "Lehman Bond
Index") by investing primarily in bonds and other debt securities included in
the Index.
THE LEHMAN BOND INDEX:
This Index is a broad-based bond index that encompasses four major classes of
investment grade fixed income securities in the United States: U.S. Treasury
and U.S. Government agency securities, corporate debt obligations,
mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. As of December 31,
1995, these four classes represented the following proportions of the Index's
total market value:

U.S. Treasury & Government Agency 52.8%
Corporate 17.5%
Mortgage-Backed 28.4%
Asset-Backed 1.3%
Total 100.0%
</TABLE>
As of December 31, 1995, the effective average weighted maturity of the Index
was 8.5 years.
Lehman Brothers reserves the right to make changes to the Lehman Bond Index at
any time, and eligible investments for the Bond Portfolio will include any
additional asset classes included in the Lehman Bond Index.
POLICIES: The Portfolio will not invest in all of the individual issues that
comprise the Lehman Bond Index because of the large number of securities
(approximately 5,300) involved. Instead, the Portfolio will hold a
representative sample of fixed income and mortgage-backed securities included
in the Lehman Bond Index. The Portfolio will invest 80% or more of its assets
in securities included in the Lehman Bond Index. The securities included in the
Lehman Bond Index generally meet the following criteria, as defined by Lehman
Brothers: an effective maturity of not less than one year; an outstanding
market value of at least $100 million; and investment-grade quality (i.e.,
rated a minimum of Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or BBB- by Standard
& Poor's or BBB- by Duff & Phelps, Inc.). A description of the ratings provided
by Moody's, S&P and Duff & Phelps is included in "APPENDIX: SECURITIES RATINGS"
in the SAI.
The Portfolio may purchase mortgage-backed securities issued by
the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the
Federal Housing Authority. GNMA securities are guaranteed by the U.S.
Government as to the timely payment of principal and interest; securities from
other government-sponsored entities are generally not secured by an explicit
pledge of the U.S. Government. The Portfolio may also invest in conventional
mortgage-backed securities, which are packaged by private corporations and are
not guaranteed by the U.S.

Government. The Portfolio will invest in the securities of a particular agency
only when the investment adviser is satisfied that the credit risk is minimal.
Mortgage-backed securities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Government are
guaranteed only as to the timely payment of principal and interest. The market
value of such securities is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. See "OTHER
INVESTMENT AND RISK FACTORS REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS--Mortgage-Backed
Securities.
The Portfolio will, to the extent feasible, remain fully invested. The
Portfolio's ability to match the performance of the Lehman Bond Index will be
affected to some extent by the size and timing of cash flows into and out of
the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be managed to reduce such effects. Portfolio
turnover is expected to be less than 50% per year. Although the Portfolio will
attempt to achieve a high correlation with the target Lehman Bond Index, it
cannot guarantee that a high correlation will be achieved. Other factors that
will affect the Portfolio's ability to approximate the target index return are:
the size of the bid-ask spread associated with Portfolio investments and
Portfolio management expenses incurred. A portion of the assets, normally
expected to be less than 5% of the Portfolio's assets, may at times be invested
in money market investments of the types described above under "The AAL
Variable Product Money Market Portfolio." No securities, other than futures
contracts, will be purchased on margin.
INVESTMENT RISKS: By the nature of securities markets, holders of bonds bear
certain risks. Bond prices in general may decline over short or even extended
periods of time. Yearly rates of return may vary widely and can include
negative results. The Portfolio will not adopt a temporary or defensive
investment posture in times of generally declining market conditions and
investors in the Portfolio, therefore, will bear the risk of such market
conditions.
In order to provide additional revenue and to reduce the effect of price
fluctuations in the Portfolio's securities, the Portfolio may write (sell)
covered call options. As the writer of a covered call option, the Portfolio may
forego, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in
the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the
premium and the exercise price of the call option. Further information on
futures and options appears under "OTHER INVESTMENT AND RISK FACTORS REGARDING
THE PORTFOLIOS--Financial Futures Contracts and Options" in this prospectus and
additional information on futures, foreign securities, and covered call
options, including the risks thereof, is set forth in "OPTIONS AND FUTURES" in
the SAI.
As part of its effort to approximate the investment performance of the Lehman
Bond Index, the AAL Variable Product Bond Portfolio will invest in
mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent an interest in
an underlying pool of mortgages. Unlike ordinary fixed income securities, which
generally pay a fixed rate of interest and return principal at predetermined
intervals or upon maturity, mortgage-backed securities repay both interest
income and principal as part of their periodic payments. Because the mortgages
underlying mortgage-backed certificates can be prepaid at any time by
homeowners or corporate borrowers, mortgage-backed securities give rise to
certain unique "prepayment" risks. See "OTHER INVESTMENT AND RISK FACTORS
REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS--Mortgage-Backed Securities."
The Bond Portfolio is also subject to the risk of increasing levels of interest
rates. See "OTHER INVESTMENT AND RISK FACTORS REGARDING THE
PORTFOLIOS--Interest Rate Fluctuations."
THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT BALANCED PORTFOLIO
OBJECTIVE: This Portfolio seeks to achieve investment results that reflect
investment in common stocks, bonds and money market instruments, each of which
will be selected consistent with the investment policies of the AAL Variable
Product Large Company Stock Portfolio, Bond Portfolio and Money Market
Portfolio, respectively.
POLICIES: The AAL Variable Product Balanced Portfolio will be invested among
the following three asset classes:
(1) Common stocks, including the securities in which the AAL Variable
Product Large Company Stock Portfolio (discussed above) may invest;
(2) Bonds and other debt securities with maturities generally exceeding
one year, including the securities in which the AAL Variable Product
Bond Portfolio (discussed above) may invest; and
(3) Money market instruments and other debt securities with maturities
generally not exceeding 397 days, including the securities in which
the AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio (discussed above) may
invest.
FUND PROSPECTUS
7
<PAGE> 12
===============================================================================
A A L V A R I A B L E A N N U I T Y
The AAL Variable Product Balanced Portfolio will periodically review and may
adjust the mix of investments among the three asset classes to capitalize on
perceived variations in return potential produced by the interaction of
changing financial markets and economic conditions. Under normal market
conditions, it is reasonable to expect that as a percentage of the portfolio,
common stocks would represent 50% to 60%, fixed income securities would
represent 30% to 40%, and money market instruments would represent 0% to 20%.
However, this Portfolio will at all times maintain an investment mix within the
following ranges: 35% to 75% common stocks; 25% to 50% in fixed-income
securities; and 0% to 40% in money market instruments. Changes in the
investment mix may occur several times within a year or over several years
depending upon market and economic conditions. It is expected that the
Portfolio's annual turnover rate will not exceed 50% within the common stock
and fixed income sectors.
The Balanced Portfolio's investment policies for each of the three asset
classes listed above are substantially identical to those discussed herein for
the AAL Variable Product Large Company Stock Portfolio, the AAL Variable
Product Bond Portfolio, and the AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio,
respectively. Investment decisions for the Balanced Portfolio are made by a
committee of AAL investment personnel.
INVESTMENT RISKS: The Balanced Portfolio is subject to both stock market and
interest rate (bond) risk because it invests in both stocks and bonds.
Fluctuating stock prices are expected to have a significant effect on the
Portfolio's share price, as the Portfolio invests 35% to 75% of its assets in
common stocks. Bond prices are affected primarily by changes in interest rates
and are expected to have a lesser influence on net asset value. In the past,
the stock and bond markets have, from time to time, fluctuated independently of
one another. As a result, with its mix of stocks and bonds, the Balanced
Portfolio is likely to entail less investment risk--and a potentially lower
return--than a portfolio investing exclusively in common stocks. Nevertheless,
the Balanced Portfolio will be subject in some degree to the same risks as are
the AAL Variable Product Large Company Stock, Bond and Money Market Portfolios.
For a discussion of these risks, see "OTHER INVESTMENT AND RISK FACTORS
REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS" in this prospectus.
THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT LARGE COMPANY STOCK PORTFOLIO
OBJECTIVE: This Portfolio seeks to achieve investment results that approximate
the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the
"S&P 500 Index") by investing primarily in common stocks included in the Index.
THE S&P 500 INDEX:
This Index is a standard used to obtain a broad index of larger capitalization
stocks. It is composed of 500 common stocks representing more than 70% of the
total market value of all U.S. publicly traded common stocks. The Index is
constructed by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's" or "S&P"),
which chooses stocks on the basis of market values and industry
diversification. Most of the largest 500 companies listed on U.S. stock
exchanges are included in the Index. Additional stocks that are not among the
500 largest stocks, by market value, are included in the S&P 500 Index for
diversification purposes. The Index is capitalization weighted--that is, stocks
with a larger capitalization (shares outstanding times current price) have a
greater weight in the Index. S&P periodically makes additions and deletions to
the Index. Selection of a stock for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index in no way
implies an opinion by S&P as to its attractiveness as an investment. Standard &
Poor's only relationship to the Portfolio is the licensing of the Standard &
Poor's marks and the S&P 500 Index, which is determined, composed and
calculated by Standard & Poor's without regard to the AAL Variable Product
Large Company Stock Portfolio. "Standard & Poor's(R)," "S&P(R)," "S&P 500(R),"
"Standard & Poor's 500," and "500" are trademarks of McGraw-Hill, Inc. and have
been licensed for use by AAL and the Fund. The Fund and the Certificates are
not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's and Standard &
Poor's makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the
Fund or the Certificates.
POLICIES: Stocks will be held approximately in proportion to their weight in
the Index. The Portfolio will seek to hold as high a percentage of the 500
issues in the Index as is practicable. The Large Company Stock Portfolio will
not be managed in the traditional sense using economic, financial and market
analysis. Stock selection in the Portfolio will be computer driven with the
criterion for selection being the achievement of high correlation with the
performance of the S&P 500 Index. Portfolio turnover is expected to be less
than 50% per year. As

changes are made to the Index during the year, they will be reflected in the
Portfolio as soon as is practicable.
The Portfolio will, to the extent feasible, remain fully invested. The
Portfolio's ability to match the performance of the S&P 500 Index will be
affected to some extent by the size and timing of cash flows into and out of
the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be managed to reduce such effects. Although
the Portfolio will attempt to achieve a high correlation with the target S&P
500 Index, it cannot guarantee that a high correlation will be achieved. Other
factors that will affect the Portfolio's ability to approximate the target
index return are: commission expenses, other transaction fees, the size of the
bid-ask spread associated with stocks that are traded in the over-the-counter
market, and Portfolio management expenses incurred. A portion of the assets,
normally expected to be less than 3% of the Portfolio's assets, may at times be
invested in money market investments of the types described above under "The
AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio." The Portfolio may invest up to
20% of its net assets, valued at the time of purchase, in securities of foreign
issuers, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), that are included in
the S&P 500 Index. No securities, other than futures contracts, will be
purchased on margin.
INVESTMENT RISKS: By the nature of securities markets, holders of stocks bear
certain risks. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended
periods of time. Yearly rates of return may vary widely and can include
negative results. The Portfolio will not adopt a temporary or defensive
investment posture in times of generally declining market conditions and
investors in the Portfolio, therefore, will bear the risk of such market
conditions.
The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities, but only if such securities are
listed and traded on a U.S. national securities exchange. Investments in
foreign securities involve risks discussed under "Foreign Securities," below.
The Portfolio may also invest in Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts
("SPDRs"). In order to provide additional revenue and to reduce the effect of
price fluctuations in the Portfolio's securities, the Portfolio may write
(sell) covered call options. As the writer of a covered call option, the
Portfolio may forego, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from
increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above
the sum of the premium and the exercise price of the call option.
Further information on futures and options appears under "OTHER INVESTMENT AND
RISK FACTORS REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS--Financial Futures Contracts and Options"
in this prospectus and additional information on futures, foreign securities,
SPDRs, and options, including the risks thereof, is set forth in the SAI.
THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT SMALL COMPANY STOCK PORTFOLIO
OBJECTIVE: This Portfolio seeks to achieve investment results that approximate
the performance of the Wilshire Small Cap Index by investing primarily in
common stocks included in the Index.
THE WILSHIRE SMALL CAP INDEX:
This Index is a creation of Wilshire Associates Incorporated, the Pacific Stock
Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade. The Index is comprised of 250 stocks
weighted by their market capitalization and its component stocks are selected
according to liquidity, industry sector and market capitalization parameters.
It is a custom-designed index intended to represent the performance attributes
of the smaller capitalization segment of the U.S. equity markets.
POLICIES: Stocks will be held approximately in proportion to their weight in
the Index. The Portfolio will seek to hold as high a percentage of the issues
in the Index as is practicable. The Small Company Stock Portfolio will not be
managed in the traditional sense using economic, financial and market analysis.
Stock selection in the Portfolio will be computer driven with the criterion for
selection being the achievement of high correlation with the performance of the
Wilshire Small Cap Index. Portfolio turnover is expected to be less than 50%
per year. As changes are made to the Index during the year, they will be
reflected in the Portfolio as soon as is practicable.
The Portfolio will, to the extent feasible, remain fully invested. The
Portfolio's ability to match the performance of the Wilshire Small Cap Index
will be affected to some extent by the size and timing of cash flows into and
out of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be managed to reduce such effects.
Although the Portfolio will attempt to achieve a high correlation with the
target Wilshire Small Cap Index, it cannot guarantee that a high correlation
will be achieved. Other factors that will affect the Portfolio's ability to
approximate the target index return are: commission expenses, other transaction
fees, the size of the bid-ask spread associated with stocks that are traded in
the over-the- counter market, and Portfolio management

expenses incurred. A portion of the assets, normally expected to be less than
3% of the Portfolio's assets, may at times be invested in money market
investments of the types described above under "The AAL Variable Product Money
Market Portfolio." The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its net assets, valued
at the time of purchase, in securities of foreign issuers, including ADRs, that
are included in the Wilshire Small Cap Index. No securities, other than futures
contracts, will be purchased on margin.
INVESTMENT RISKS: Historically, small capitalization stocks, which constitute
the Portfolio's primary investments, have been more volatile in price than the
larger capitalization stocks included in the S&P 500 Index. Among the reasons
for the greater price volatility of these small company stocks are the less
certain growth prospects of smaller firms, the lower degree of liquidity in the
markets for such stocks, and the greater sensitivity of small companies to
changing economic conditions. In addition, small company stocks may, to a
degree, fluctuate independently of larger company stocks. Therefore, investment
return may be more volatile and significantly different from that achieved with
larger stock indices such as the S&P 500 Index or the Dow Jones Industrial
Average. The Portfolio will not adopt a temporary or defensive investment
posture in times of generally declining market conditions and investors in the
Portfolio, therefore, will bear the risk of such market conditions.
The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities, but only if such securities are
listed and traded on a U.S. national securities exchange. Investments in
foreign securities involve risks that are discussed under "OTHER INVESTMENT AND
RISK FACTORS REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS--Foreign Securities," below. In order to
provide additional revenue and to reduce the effect of price fluctuations in
the Portfolio's securities, the Portfolio may write (sell) covered call
options. As the writer of a covered call option, the Portfolio may forego,
during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the
market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the
premium and the exercise price of the call option.
Further information on futures and options appears under "OTHER INVESTMENT AND
RISK FACTORS REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS--Financial Futures Contracts and Options"
in this prospectus and additional information on futures, foreign securities,
the Wilshire Small Cap. Index, and options, including the risks thereof, is set
forth in the SAI.
OTHER INVESTMENT AND RISK FACTORS REGARDING THE PORTFOLIOS
INTEREST RATE FLUCTUATIONS
With respect to the AAL Variable Product Bond Portfolio and, to a lesser
extent, the AAL Variable Product Balanced Portfolio, it can be expected that a
decline in prevailing levels of interest rates generally will increase the
value of securities held in the Portfolios and an increase in rates generally
will reduce the value of these securities. As a result, interest rate
fluctuations will affect these Portfolios' net asset values. Because yields on
the securities available for purchase by the Portfolios will vary over time, no
specific yield on shares of the Portfolios can be assured.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
Certain mortgage-backed securities purchased by the AAL Variable Product Bond
Portfolio and the bond component of the AAL Variable Product Balanced Portfolio
provide for a right to prepay and for amortized payments of both interest and
principal over the term of the security. Prepayments are particularly likely
during times of declining interest rates. The yield on the original investment
in mortgage-backed securities applies only to the unpaid principal balance, as
the Portfolios must reinvest the principal payments at prevailing market
interest rates which may be higher or lower than the rate on the original
security. In times of falling interest rates, the yield is likely to be lower
than that received from the original investment. If these instruments are
purchased at a premium in the market, and if prepayment occurs, such
prepayments will be at par or stated value, which will result in reduced return
on such transactions. Finally, the risk of prepayment tends to cause the value
of a Portfolio's investments in mortgage-backed securities to increase less in
times of decreasing interest rates and decline more in times of increasing
interest rates. On the other hand, these securities tend to have a higher yield
than do securities with no prepayment feature.
FOREIGN SECURITIES
Holding securities of foreign issuers, including ADRs, entails special risks.
Non-U.S. dollar-denominated foreign securities may be affected favorably or
unfavorably by changes in currency exchange rates and exchange control
regulations (including currency blockage) and a Portfolio may incur costs in
connection with conversions between various currencies. Foreign securities may
also involve risks due to changes in the political or economic
FUND PROSPECTUS

===============================================================================
A A L V A R I A B L E A N N U I T Y

conditions of such foreign countries, the possible expropriation or
nationalization of assets, possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing
judgments against foreign entities, reduced levels of information about and
regulation of foreign issuers, difficulties in repatriation of capital invested
abroad, foreign withholding taxes, and differing accounting, auditing, and
financial standards.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND BORROWING
The Portfolios may from time to time enter into repurchase agreements. Under
the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Portfolio would acquire an
underlying obligation for a relatively short period (usually from one to seven
days) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio
to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining
the yield during the Portfolio's holding period. This arrangement results in a
fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the
Portfolio's holding period. The Portfolios require the sellers to post
collateral (in cash, U.S. Government securities, or obligations issued by
banks) in an amount at all times equal to, or in excess of, the market value of
the securities which are the subject of the agreement. In the event of a
bankruptcy or other default of a seller of a repurchase agreement, there may be
delays and expenses in liquidating the securities, decline in their value and
loss of interest. The Portfolios maintain procedures for evaluating and
monitoring the creditworthiness of firms with which they enter into repurchase
agreements. No Portfolio may invest more than 15% (10% in the case of the AAL
Variable Product Money Market Portfolio) of its total assets in repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days or in securities that are subject
to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are otherwise illiquid.
The AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements, subject to its investment restrictions. A reverse
repurchase agreement involves a sale by the Portfolio of securities that it
holds concurrently with an agreement by the Portfolio to repurchase the same
securities at an agreed upon price and date. The Portfolio uses the proceeds of
reverse repurchase agreements to provide liquidity to meet redemption requests
and to make cash payments of dividends and distributions when the sale of the
Portfolio's securities is considered to be disadvantageous. Cash, U.S.
government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations equal in
value to the Portfolio's obligations with respect to the reverse repurchase
agreements, are segregated and maintained with the Fund's custodian. The Money
Market Portfolio's obligations under reverse repurchase agreements will be
counted towards the limitation on the Portfolio's borrowings, described below.
Each Portfolio may borrow, but only from banks, for temporary or emergency
purposes in amounts not exceeding 10% of a Portfolio's total assets. Any
borrowings will be repaid before any further purchase of securities are made by
the Portfolio. Interest paid on such borrowings will reduce a Portfolio's net
income.
WHEN-ISSUED PURCHASES
The AAL Variable Product Bond Portfolio and AAL Variable Product Balanced
Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at
the time the purchaser enters into the commitment, the securities may be
delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their
value may have changed. The Portfolios make such commitments only with the
intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities
before settlement date if it is deemed advisable for investment reasons.
FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS
The AAL Variable Product Large Company Stock, Small Company Stock, Bond, and
Balanced Portfolios may utilize futures contracts and options to a limited
extent. Specifically, each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts provided
that not more than 5% of its assets are required as a futures contract margin
deposit; in addition, a Portfolio may enter into futures contracts and options
transactions only to the extent that obligations under such contracts or
transactions represent no more than 33% of the Portfolio's assets.
Futures contracts and options may be used by the Portfolios for several
reasons: to maintain cash reserves while simulating full investment, to
facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs, to generate additional income,
or to hedge against price movements. While futures contracts and options can be
used as leveraged investments, no Portfolio will use futures contracts or
options transactions to leverage its net assets.
The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are:
(i) imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the stocks held
or eligible to be purchased by a Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts
and options; and (ii) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a futures
or options contract and the resulting inability to close a position prior to
its
FUND PROSPECTUS
11
<PAGE> 16
===============================================================================
A A L V A R I A B L E A N N U I T Y
maturity date. The risk of imperfect correlation will be minimized by using
only those contracts whose behavior is expected to resemble that of a
Portfolio's underlying securities or that are eligible to be purchased by the
Portfolio. The risk that a Portfolio will be unable to close out a futures or
options position will be minimized by entering into such transactions only on a
national exchange with an active and liquid secondary market.
The risk of loss in investing in futures contracts in some strategies can be
substantial, due both to the low margin deposits required, and the extremely
high degree of leverage involved in futures pricing. As a result, a relatively
small price movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and
substantial loss (or gain) to the investor. When purchasing futures contracts,
a Portfolio will segregate with its custodian (or to the extent legally
permitted, a broker purchasing) cash or cash equivalents in the amount of the
underlying obligation. See "OPTIONS AND FUTURES" in the SAI.
LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
In order to generate additional income, the Portfolios may from time to time
lend securities from their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial
institutions such as banks and trust companies, subject to restrictions that
are described in "INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS" in the SAI.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
In addition to those policies noted above with respect to specific investments,
the Portfolios are subject to certain investment restrictions. Among other
things, these limitations generally prohibit a Portfolio from investing more
than 25% of its assets in a single industry or in securities of issuers in
which the Portfolio has invested more than 5% of its total assets. These
limitations do not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. A description of other
investment restrictions applicable to the Fund is included in the SAI. The
Fund's policies and investment restrictions are not deemed fundamental
policies, and, therefore, may be changed by the Board of Directors without
shareholder approval, except to the extent that such approval may be legally
required.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
The Fund's Board of Directors decides matters of general policy and reviews the
activities of the Fund's Adviser and the Fund's officers conduct and supervise
the daily business operations of the Fund.
THE ADVISER
Aid Association for Lutherans ("AAL" or "Adviser") is the investment adviser to
the Fund. AAL was organized on November 24, 1902. The Adviser is a fraternal
benefit society under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(8) and incorporated
under the laws of the state of Wisconsin. As of December 31, 1995, AAL had
approximately 1.7 million members and is the world's largest fraternal benefit
society in terms of assets (over $15.4 billion) and life insurance in force
($75.6 billion), ranking it in the top two percent of all life insurers in the
United States in terms of ordinary life insurance in force. Membership is open
to Lutherans and their families. AAL offers life, disability income insurance
and annuities to its members. All members are part of one of over 9,152 local
AAL branches throughout the United States. AAL has extensive experience in
investment management matters and staff professionals associated with the
Adviser have previous experience in the management of financial assets. AAL
manages assets in excess of $14.6 billion for its insurance portfolios. The
principal address of the Adviser is 4321 North Ballard Road, Appleton,
Wisconsin 54919-0001.
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, dated September 27, 1994, as
amended February 28, 1996, with the Fund (the "Advisory Agreement"), the
Adviser manages the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets, provides
the Fund with office space, executive and other personnel, facilities and
administrative services, and supervises the Fund's daily business affairs, all
subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors. The Adviser
formulates and implements a continuous investment program for the Portfolios
consistent with each Portfolio's investment objectives, policies and
restrictions.
The Adviser receives an investment advisory fee as compensation for its
services to the Fund. The fee is a daily charge equal to an annual rate of .35%
of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio up to $250,000,000 and .30%
of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio in excess of that amount.
In addition to the investment advisory fee, subject to the expense
reimbursement arrangement discussed below, each Portfolio will bear all of its
operating expenses that are not specifically assumed by the Adviser, including
the following: (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage

commissions; (iii) insurance premiums; (iv) compensation and expenses for those
Directors who are not affiliated with the Adviser; (v) independent legal and
audit expenses; (vi) fees and expenses of the Fund's custodian, shareholder
servicing or transfer agent and accounting services agent; (vii) expenses
incident to the issuance of its shares, including stock certificates and
issuance of shares on the payment of, or reinvestment of dividends; (viii) fees
and expenses incident to the registration under Federal or state securities
laws of the Fund or its shares; (ix) Fund or Portfolio organizational expenses;
(x) expenses of preparing, printing and mailing Fund reports, notices, proxy
material and prospectuses to shareholders of the Fund; (xi) all other expenses
incidental to holding meetings of the Fund's shareholders; (xii) dues of, or
assessments of, or contributions to, the Investment Company Institute or any
successor or other industry association; (xiii) such non-recurring expenses as
may arise, including litigation affecting the Fund and the legal obligations
which the Fund may have to indemnify its officers and Directors with respect
thereto; and (xiv) cost of daily valuation of each of the Portfolio's
securities and net asset value per share.
The Advisory Agreement provides that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Adviser will reimburse the Fund for substantially all of its operating
expenses, other than investment advisory fees, brokerage commissions, and any
extraordinary items such as litigation expenses or income tax liabilities. The
Adviser may withdraw this undertaking on 30 days' written notice to the Fund.
The Adviser has informed the Fund's Board of Directors that it currently
intends to bear all of the Fund's operating expenses, other than those
specified immediately above, through at least December 31, 1996.
THE ADMINISTRATOR
Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement between the Adviser and AAL
Capital Management Corporation (the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned indirect
subsidiary of the Adviser, the Administrator has agreed to perform certain
services that the Adviser has contracted to provide to the Fund under the
Investment Advisory Agreement, including portfolio accounting, expense accrual,
valuation and financial reporting, and tax accounting services for each
Portfolio. The Adviser pays the Administrator at a specified rate not to exceed
the rates charged by unaffiliated vendors for comparable services, plus
reimbursable expenses, as may be approved annually by a majority of the Fund's
Board of Directors.
The Fund does not directly reimburse the Adviser for the cost of these
services provided by the Administrator. The Administrative Services Agreement
provides that it will continue in effect from year to year with respect to any
Portfolio, so long as such continuation is specifically approved at least
annually by the Fund's Board of Directors or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio, and, in either case, a
majority of the Fund's disinterested Directors.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser directs the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of the
Funds' portfolio securities. In doing so, the best combination of price and
execution is sought, which involves a number of judgmental factors. When the
Adviser believes that more than one broker or dealer is capable of providing
the best combination of price and execution in a particular portfolio
transaction, normally a broker or dealer is selected that has furnished
brokerage and research services.
It is possible that from time to time the Adviser may make similar investment
decisions for one or more Portfolios, for the Adviser's own account, and, when
applicable, for its other clients where it is consistent with their respective
investment objectives and policies. If these entities desire to buy or sell the
same portfolio securities at about the same time, combined purchases and sales
may be made and allocated at the average net unit price for the securities and,
as nearly as practicable, on a pro-rata basis in proportion to the amounts
desired to be purchased or sold by each entity. While it is conceivable that in
certain instances this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price
or volume of the security to be purchased or sold, as far as a Portfolio is
concerned, it is believed that this procedure would generally contribute to
better overall execution of the Fund's portfolio transactions, including, but
not limited to, the realization of lower commission rates and advantageous
prices. For example, coordination with transactions for other clients and the
ability to participate in volume transactions could benefit the Fund. Where
combined purchases and sales are not made, volume transactions and any
resulting benefit, of course, would not be available. AAL does not expect that
the opportunity to make such combined purchases and sales will arise in the
ordinary course.

===============================================================================
A A L V A R I A B L E A N N U I T Y
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of all Portfolios are continuously offered and redeemed by the Fund,
without sales charge, at prices equal to the respective per share net asset
value ("NAV") of each Portfolio. Shares of the Fund are currently offered only
to AAL Variable Annuity Account I to fund benefits payable under the
Certificates. The Fund may, at some later date, also offer its shares to other
separate accounts of AAL or a subsidiary or affiliated company of AAL. Shares
of the Fund were sold directly to AAL in connection with the initial
capitalization of the Portfolios.
The Variable Account transmits to the Fund any orders to purchase or redeem
shares of the Portfolio based on the completed purchase payments, redemption
(surrender) requests and transfer requests from Certificate Owners, annuitants
or beneficiaries on the day after AAL receives such orders. The Variable
Account purchases and redeems shares of each Portfolio at the Portfolio's NAV
per share calculated as of the day AAL receives its orders. Orders to purchase
or redeem Fund shares which are not based on actions by Certificate Owners,
annuitants or beneficiaries or routine deductions of charges by AAL will be
effected at the Portfolio's NAV per share next computed after the order is
placed.
The Fund is required to pay the proceeds for redemption of all full and
fractional shares of the Fund within seven days after the date as of which the
redemption is priced. The right to redeem shares or to receive payment with
respect to any redemption may be suspended only for any period during which
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or when such exchange is closed (other than
customary weekend and holiday closings), for any period during which an
emergency exists as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a
result of which disposal of a Portfolio's securities or determination of the
Portfolio's NAV is not reasonably practicable, and for such other periods as
the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection
of shareholders of any Portfolio.
NET ASSET VALUE
The NAV per share of any Portfolio is determined once daily at the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m., New York
time, on each day that AAL is open for business. NAV will not be determined on
holidays observed by the Exchange. The NAV of shares is computed by adding the
sum of the value of the securities held by each Portfolio plus any cash or
other assets it holds, less all of that Portfolio's liabilities, and dividing
the result by the total number of outstanding shares of that Portfolio at such
time. Securities owned by the Fund for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at current market value. However, all securities of the
AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio are valued on the basis of their
amortized cost, which approximates market value. All other securities and
assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
direction of the Fund's Board of Directors.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to take all other action required so
that no federal income tax will be payable by the Portfolios themselves. Each
Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company under the
requirements of the Code.
The Fund intends to distribute as dividends substantially all the net
investment income, if any, of each Portfolio. For dividend purposes, net
investment income of each Portfolio, other than the AAL Variable Product Money
Market Portfolio, will consist of all payments of dividends (other than stock
dividends) or interest received by such Portfolio less the estimated expenses
of such Portfolio (including fees payable to the Adviser). Net investment
income of the AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio consists of (i)
interest accrued and/or discount earned (including both original issue and
market discount), (ii) plus or minus all realized gains and losses, (iii) less
the estimated expenses of the Portfolio (including the fees payable to the
Adviser).
Shares of a Portfolio will begin accruing dividends on the day following the
date as of which the shares are credited to the Variable Account. Dividends
will generally be declared and reinvested daily on the AAL Variable Product
Money Market Portfolio, and monthly on all other Portfolios, although the Fund
may make distributions of dividends on any Portfolio more or less frequently,
as appropriate. The Fund will also declare and distribute annually all net
realized capital gains of the Fund, other than short-term gains of the Money
Market

Portfolio, which are declared as dividends daily. A capital gain distribution
will usually be made in December.
All income dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in full and
fractional shares of a Portfolio at NAV, without any charges, on the payment
date, unless an election is made on behalf of the Variable Account to receive
distributions in cash.
Purchases of securities for each of the Portfolios also will be limited in
accordance with the diversification requirements for insurance products
established pursuant to Section 817(h) of the Code. To comply with the
regulations under Section 817(h), each Portfolio is required to diversify its
investments so that on the last day of each quarter of a calendar year, no more
than 55% of the value of its total assets is represented by any one investment,
no more than 70% is represented by any two investments, no more than 80% is
represented by any three investments, and no more than 90% is represented by
any four investments. In calculating these percentages, securities of a given
issuer generally are treated as one investment, but each U.S. Government agency
and instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer. Any security issued,
guaranteed, or insured (to the extent so guaranteed or insured) by the United
States or an agency or instrumentality of the United States, is treated as a
security issued by the U.S. Government, agency or instrumentality, whichever is
applicable. Failure to comply with these diversification requirements may
result in immediate taxation to the Certificate Owners of returns credited to
Certificates.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The Portfolios may, from time to time, include quotations of their total return
or yield in connection with the total return for the Variable Account in
advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Certificate Owners or to
prospective investors. Total return and yield quotations reflect only the
performance of a hypothetical investment in the Portfolio during a specified
period. Such quotations do not in any way indicate or project future
performance. Quotations of total return and yield regarding a Portfolio do not
reflect charges or deductions against the Variable Account or charges and
deductions against the Certificates. Where relevant, the prospectus and SAI for
the Certificate contain additional performance information.
The total return of a Portfolio refers to the average annual percentage change
in value of an investment in the Portfolio held for various periods of time,
including, but not limited to, one year, five years, ten years or such shorter
period as the Portfolio has been in operation, as of a stated ending date. When
the Portfolio has been in operation for these periods, the total return for
such periods will be provided if performance information is quoted. Total
return quotations are expressed as average annual compound rates of return for
each of the periods quoted, reflect the deduction of a proportional share of
Portfolio expenses and assume that all dividends and capital gains
distributions during the period are reinvested in the Portfolio when made.
A Portfolio may, from time to time, disclose in advertisements, sales
literature and reports to Certificate Owners or to prospective investors, total
return for the Portfolio for periods in addition to those required to be
presented, or disclose other nonstandardized data such as cumulative total
returns, actual year-by-year returns, or any combination thereof.
A Portfolio may also, from time to time, compare the performance of the
Portfolio in advertisements, sales literature and reports to Certificate Owners
or to prospective investors to: (1) the S&P 500 Index, the Wilshire Small Cap
Index, the Lehman Bond Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or other widely
recognized indices; (2) other mutual funds whose performance are reported by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., ("Lipper"), Variable Annuity Research & Data
Service ("VARDS") and Morningstar, Inc. ("Morningstar"), or reported by other
services, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of
general interest, such as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business
Week, Barron's, Changing Times and Fortune, which rank and/or rate mutual funds
by overall performance or other criteria; and (3) the Consumer Price Index.
Lipper, VARDS and Morningstar are widely quoted independent research firms
which rank mutual funds by overall performance, investment objectives, and
assets. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends but usually
do not reflect any deduction for the expense of operating or managing a fund.
The Portfolio yield quotation refers to the income generated by a hypothetical
investment in the Portfolio over a specified thirty-day (seven-day for the
Money Market Portfolio) period expressed as a percentage rate of return for
that period. The yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per
share for the period by the price per share on the last day of that period.

Had the AAL Variable Product Bond Portfolio been in existence and achieved the
above returns, such returns would have been reduced by fees of the Adviser and
other costs associated with the administration of the Portfolio. See
"MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND" for more information.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
The Fund may issue up to 2 billion shares of common stock, $.001 par value, in
one or more series (Portfolios) as the Board of Directors may authorize.
Currently, the Board has authorized five series which bear the designation of
the names of the respective Portfolios.
Each share of a Portfolio is entitled to participate pro rata in any dividends
or other distributions declared by the Board with respect to that Portfolio,
and all shares of a Portfolio have equal rights in the event of liquidation of
that Portfolio.
AAL provided the initial capitalization of each Portfolio and, as of March 29,
1996, beneficially owned more than 25% of the shares of the AAL Variable
Product Bond Portfolio and AAL Variable Product Balanced Portfolio. As a result
of such ownership, AAL may be deemed to be in control of those Portfolios.
VOTING PRIVILEGES
The voting privileges of Certificate Owners, and limitations on those
privileges, are explained in the accompanying prospectus relating to the
Certificates. AAL, as the owner of the assets in the Variable Account, will
attend shareholder meetings and will vote all of the shares of the Portfolios
held to fund the benefits under the Certificates, but it will generally do so
in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Owners. Any such shares
of a Portfolio attributable to a Certificate for which no timely voting
instructions are received, and any shares of the Portfolio held by AAL or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates for their own account, will be voted by AAL
in proportion to the voting instructions that are received with respect to all
Certificates participating in that Portfolio. Under certain circumstances
described in "VOTING PRIVILEGES" in the Fund's SAI, however, AAL may disregard
voting instructions received from Certificate Owners.
Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held. Because the per
share purchase price of shares of different Portfolios will not, generally, be
the same (the initial NAV established for shares of the AAL Variable Product
Large Company Stock Portfolio, Small Company Stock Portfolio, Bond Portfolio
and Balanced Portfolio was $10.00 per share, as compared to $1 per share for
the AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio), the number of votes obtained
as a result of a particular amount invested will generally vary depending upon
which Portfolio's shares are purchased (for example, using the initial NAVs set
forth above, a $100 investment in the AAL Variable Product Money Market
Portfolio would result in 100 votes, whereas the same investment in any one of
the other Portfolios would result in only 10 votes).
The Fund is not required to hold annual shareholder meetings. However, special
meetings may be called for purposes such as electing or removing Directors,
changing fundamental policies, or approving an investment advisory contract.
Shares of each series are entitled to vote as a series only to the extent
required by the 1940 Act and rules thereunder or as permitted by the Directors.
No matter required to be submitted to shareholder vote is deemed to have been
effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of each series that may be affected by the matter
differently from another series. On matters affecting an individual Portfolio,
such as approvals of investment advisory agreements and changes in investment
objectives, a separate vote of the shares of
FUND PROSPECTUS
17
<PAGE> 22
that Portfolio is required. Shares of a Portfolio are not entitled to vote on
any matter not affecting that Portfolio. The shares of all the Portfolios vote
together on matters that do not affect one Portfolio differently from another,
such as the election of Directors and ratification of the Fund's auditors.
INDEMNITY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
To the fullest extent permitted by Maryland and federal law, the Fund will
indemnify and limit the liability of Directors and officers of the Fund from
any personal liability to the Fund or the holders of shares of its series or
classes for money damages. However, this limitation and indemnification does
not protect any Director or officer from liability to which the Director or
officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct
of his or her office.
CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Harris Trust & Savings Bank, 111 W. Monroe Street, Chicago, IL 60690, serves as
Custodian for the Fund. AAL serves as Transfer Agent for the Fund. Ernst &
Young LLP, 111 East Kilbourn Avenue, Suite 900, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202,
serves as independent auditors for the Fund. The Financial Highlights included
in this prospectus and the financial statements of the Fund included in the SAI
have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, and have been so included in reliance
on the report of Ernst & Young LLP, given upon the authority of such firm as
experts in accounting and auditing.

INTRODUCTION
The following information supplements the discussion in the Fund's Prospectus
of the Portfolios' respective investment objectives and policies and other
aspects of the Fund's management and operations.
VOTING PRIVILEGES
Each Portfolio's investment objective is a fundamental policy, which may not be
changed without the approval of a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" of that Portfolio. A "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" means the approval of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting
securities at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
voting securities of a Portfolio are present or represented by proxy or (ii)
more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a Portfolio.
While AAL, as the owner of the assets of its AAL Variable Annuity Account I
(the "Variable Account"), is entitled to vote all of the shares of a Portfolio
held to fund the benefits under variable annuity certificates funded through
the Variable Account (the "Certificates"), it will generally do so in
accordance with the instructions of Certificate owners ("Owners"). However,
AAL may disregard voting instructions received from Owners that would require
shares to be voted to (i) disapprove a change from a diversified to a
non-diversified investment company (or vice versa) or a change in investment
objective, if such change is required by an insurance regulatory authority;
(ii) approve any investment advisory agreement that has been disapproved by an
insurance regulatory authority; (iii) approve any change in investment
objective or policies that would violate state law or result in the purchase of
securities that vary from the general quality and nature of investments or
investment techniques used by any other separate accounts of AAL or its
affiliates that have similar investment objectives; (iv) approve a change in
any principal underwriter of the Fund that is reasonably disapproved by AAL; or
(v) approve a change in the Fund's investment adviser initiated by insurance
contract owners or the Fund's Board of Directors, if the proposed advisory fee
exceeds any applicable maximums specified in any insurance contract
participating in the Fund or if the proposed investment adviser may be expected
to use investment techniques different from those generally used by the current
adviser or to advise the purchase or sale of securities which would not be
consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund or which would vary from
the quality and nature of the investments made by any other separate accounts
of AAL and its affiliates that have similar investment objectives.
Any such shares of a Portfolio attributable to a Certificate for which no
timely voting instructions are received, and shares of that Portfolio held by
AAL or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies for their own account,
will be voted by AAL in proportion to the voting instructions that are received
with respect to all Certificates participating in that Portfolio.
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
Each Portfolio may use the following techniques in pursuit of its investment
objective.
LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Subject to restriction (4) under "INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS," a Portfolio may
lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must
be continuously secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on
a current basis in an amount at least equal to the market value of the
securities loaned by the Portfolio. The Portfolio would continue to receive
the equivalent of the
SAI-3
<PAGE> 26
interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned, and would
also receive an additional return which may be in the form of a fixed fee or a
percentage of the collateral. The Portfolio would have the right to call the
loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than
five business days. The Portfolio would not have the right to vote the
securities during the existence of the loan but would call the loan to permit
voting of securities during the existence of the loan if, in the Adviser's
judgment, a material event requiring a shareholder vote would otherwise occur
before the loan was repaid. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the
borrower, the Portfolio could experience both delays in liquidating the loan
collateral or recovering the loaned securities and losses including (a)
possible decline in the value of the collateral or in the value of the
securities loaned during the period while the Portfolio seeks to enforce its
rights thereto, (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to
income during this period, and (c) expenses of enforcing its rights.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES
A Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis,
as described in the Prospectus. A Portfolio makes such commitments only with
the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities
before settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment
reasons. At the time a Portfolio enters into a binding obligation to purchase
securities on a when-issued basis, liquid high-grade debt obligations of the
Portfolio, having a value at least as great as the purchase price of the
securities to be purchased, will be identified on the books of the Portfolio
and held by the Portfolio's custodian throughout the period of the obligation.
The use of these investment strategies may increase NAV fluctuation.
RATED SECURITIES
For a description of certain ratings applied by rating services to debt
securities, please refer to the Appendix to this SAI. The rated debt
securities described under "Investment Objectives and Policies" in the
Prospectus for each Portfolio include securities given a rating conditionally
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or provisionally by Standard
and Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Duff & Phelps, Inc. ("Duff & Phelps"). If
the rating of a security held by a Portfolio is lost or reduced, the Portfolio
is not required to sell the security, but the Adviser will consider such fact
in determining whether that Portfolio should continue to hold the security. To
the extent that the ratings accorded by Moody's, S&P, or Duff & Phelps for debt
securities may change as a result of changes in such organization, or changes
in their rating systems, a Portfolio will attempt to use comparable ratings as
standards for its investments in debt securities in accordance with its
investment policies.
FOREIGN SECURITIES
The AAL Variable Product Large Company and Small Company Portfolios and the
stock component of the Balanced Portfolio may invest in the common stock of
foreign corporations, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), but only
if such securities are listed and traded on a U.S. national securities
exchange. The AAL Variable Product Bond Portfolio and bond component of the
AAL Variable Product Balanced Portfolio may invest in debt securities of
foreign issuers that are payable in U.S. dollars. The AAL Variable Product
Money Market Portfolio and the money market component of the AAL Variable
Product Balanced Portfolio may invest in short-term Eurodollar and Yankee bank
obligations. Foreign securities may represent a greater degree of risk
(including risks relating to tax provisions or expropriation of assets) than do
securities of domestic issuers.
ADRs are certificates issued by a United States bank or trust company and
represent the right to receive securities of a foreign issuer deposited in a
domestic bank or foreign branch of a United States bank. ADRs are traded on a
United States exchange or in the domestic over-the-counter market. Investment
in ADRs has certain advantages over direct investment in the underlying foreign
securities since: (i)
SAI-4
<PAGE> 27
ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated investments that are easily transferable and
for which market quotations are readily available, and (ii) issuers whose
securities are represented by ADRs are, in some cases, subject to auditing,
accounting and financial reporting standards similar to those applied to
domestic issuers.
PRIVATELY ISSUED SECURITIES: THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Commercial paper and other securities in which the AAL Variable Product Money
Market Portfolio may invest include securities issued by major corporations
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on certain
exemptions, including the "private placement" exemption afforded by Section
4(2) of that Act. Section 4(2) paper is restricted as to disposition under the
federal securities laws in that any resale must be made in an exempt
transaction. This paper normally is resold to other institutional investors
through, or with, the assistance of investment dealers who make a market in it,
thus providing liquidity. In the opinion of the Adviser, Section 4(2) paper is
no less liquid or saleable than commercial paper issued without legal
restrictions on disposition. However, regulatory interpretations currently in
effect require that the Portfolio will not purchase Section 4(2) paper if more
than 10% of its total assets would consist of such paper and illiquid
(including other restricted) securities.
STANDARD & POOR'S DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS
The AAL Variable Product Large Company Stock Portfolio may, consistent with its
objectives, purchase Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts ("SPDRs"). SPDRs
are American Stock Exchange-traded securities that represent ownership in the
SPDR Trust, a trust which has been established to accumulate and hold a
portfolio of common stocks that is intended to track the price performance and
dividend yield of the S&P 500 Index. This trust is sponsored by a subsidiary
of the American Stock Exchange. SPDRs may be used for several reasons,
including but not limited to: facilitating the handling of cash flows or
trading, or reducing transaction costs. The use of SPDRs would introduce
additional risk to the Portfolio as the price movement of the instrument does
not perfectly correlate with the price action of the underlying index.
THE S&P 500 INDEX
The S&P 500 Index is a broad index of larger capitalization stocks. It is
composed of 500 common stocks representing more than 70% of the total market
value of all publicly traded common stocks. The Index is constructed by
Standard & Poor's Corporation, which chooses stocks on the basis of market
values and industry diversification. Most of the largest 500 companies listed
on U.S. stock exchanges are included in the Index. Most stocks in the Index
are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. A much smaller number come from the
American Stock Exchange and the over-the-counter market. Additional stocks
that are not among the 500 largest stocks, by market value, are included in the
S&P 500 Index for diversification purposes. The Index is capitalization
weighted--that is, stocks with a larger capitalization (shares outstanding
times current price) have a greater weight in the Index. Market
capitalizations of stocks in the Index as of December 1995 range from a maximum
of $120 billion to a minimum of about $100 million. The average capitalization
was $9.2 billion and the median capitalization was $4.7 billion. S&P
periodically makes additions and deletions to the Index. Selection of a stock
for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index in no way implies an opinion by Standard &
Poor's as to its attractiveness as an investment.
THE WILSHIRE SMALL CAP INDEX
The AAL Variable Product Small Company Stock Portfolio attempts to generate an
investment return comparable to that of the Wilshire Small Cap Index. This
Index was created through an association
SAI-5
<PAGE> 28
between Wilshire Associates Incorporated, the Pacific Stock Exchange and the
Chicago Board of Trade. Wilshire Associates ranks the 2500 largest
capitalization stocks traded on the U.S. stock exchanges to create its Wilshire
2500 Index. It breaks this index into two component indices: (1) the Wilshire
Top 750, comprised of the largest 750 stocks, by capitalization, traded on the
exchanges, and (2) the Wilshire Next 1750, comprised of the next 1750 largest
stocks or those ranked from 751 to 2500 in terms of capitalization. The
Wilshire Small Cap Index is a subset of this Next 1750. The Wilshire Small Cap
Index is comprised of 250 stocks weighted by their market capitalization and
its component stocks are selected according to liquidity, industry sector and
market capitalization parameters. The Wilshire Small Cap Index attempts to
capture the return profile and fundamental characteristics of the Wilshire Next
1750. The Index is recreated annually at the end of June based on market
values as of that date. The Index is rebalanced quarterly to reflect periodic
changes in shares outstanding. No names are added or deleted as a result of
the rebalancing process. Stocks may be dropped from the Index at any time due
to merger or acquisition or any other event which causes the company to cease
to exist as an ongoing concern. In that event, a new name is added to maintain
the total at 250.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES
The AAL Variable Product Large Company Stock Portfolio, Small Company Stock
Portfolio, Bond Portfolio and Balanced Portfolio may write (sell) covered call
options to provide additional revenue and to reduce the effect of price
fluctuations in that Portfolio's securities. In addition, through the
purchase of options and the purchase and sale of futures contracts and related
options, these Portfolios may at times seek to enhance current returns or to
hedge against a decline in the value of currently-owned securities or an
increase in the price of securities intended to be purchased. Options and
futures contracts may also be used to facilitate trading, reduce transaction
costs or to simulate full investment while maintaining cash reserves.
Additional types of options, futures contracts, futures options and related
strategies that are not described in the Fund's Prospectus or this SAI also may
be employed if approved by the Board of Directors and if their use is
consistent with the Portfolio's investment objective.
OPTIONS ON SECURITIES AND INDEXES
Options may be purchased and sold on debt or other securities or indexes in
standardized contracts traded on national securities exchanges, boards of
trade, or similar entities, or quoted on NASDAQ. In addition, agreements
sometimes called cash puts may accompany the purchase of a new issue of bonds
from a dealer.
An option on a security (or index) is a contract that gives the holder of the
option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from ("call") or sell to
("put") the writer of the option the security underlying the option (or the
cash value of a multiple of the index) at a specified exercise price at any
time during the term of the option. The writer of an option on a security has
the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security
upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery
of the underlying security. Upon exercise, the writer of an option on an index
is obligated to pay the difference between the cash value of the index and the
exercise price multiplied by the specified multiplier for the index option.
(An index is designed to reflect specified facets of a particular financial or
securities market, a specific group of financial instruments or securities, or
certain economic indicators.)
A Portfolio will write call options and put options only if they are "covered."
In the case of a call option on a security, the option is covered if the
Portfolio owns the security underlying the call or has an absolute and
immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration
(or, if
SAI-6
<PAGE> 29
additional cash consideration is required, cash or cash equivalents in such
amount are held in a segregated account by its custodian) upon conversion or
exchange of other securities held in its portfolio. For a call option on an
index, the option is covered if the Portfolio maintains, in a segregated
account with its custodian, cash or cash equivalents equal to the contract
value. A call option also is covered if the Portfolio holds a call on the same
security or index as the call written where the exercise price of the call held
is (i) equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written, or (ii)
greater than the exercise price of the call written provided the difference is
maintained by the Portfolio in cash or cash equivalents in a segregated account
with its custodian. A put option on a security or an index is covered if the
Portfolio maintains cash or cash equivalents equal to the exercise price in a
segregated account with its custodian. A put option also is covered if the
Portfolio holds a put on the same security or index as the put written where
the exercise price of the put held is (i) equal to or greater than the exercise
price of the put written, or (ii) less than the exercise price of the put
written, provided the difference is maintained by the Portfolio in cash or cash
equivalents in a segregated account with its custodian.
Prior to the earlier of exercise or expiration, an option may be closed out by
an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series (type, exchange,
underlying security or index, exercise price, and expiration). There can be no
assurance, however, that a closing purchase or sale transaction can be effected
when the Portfolio desires.
The principal factors affecting the market value of a put or call option
include supply and demand, interest rates, the current market price of the
underlying security or index in relation to the exercise price of the option,
the volatility of the underlying security or index, and the time remaining
until the expiration date.
The premium paid for a put or call option purchased by a Portfolio is an asset
of the Portfolio. The premium received for an option written by a Portfolio is
recorded as a deferred credit. The value of an option purchased or written is
marked to market daily and is valued at the closing price on the exchange on
which it is traded or, if not traded on an exchange or no closing price is
available, at the mean between the last bid and asked prices.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OPTIONS ON SECURITIES AND INDEXES
There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities
and on indexes. For example, there are significant differences between the
securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation
between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its
objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the
exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be
unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events.
There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Portfolio
seeks to close out an option position. If a Portfolio were unable to close out
an option that it had purchased on a security, it would have to exercise the
option in order to realize any profit or the option may expire worthless. If a
Portfolio were unable to close out a covered call option that it had written on
a security, it would not be able to sell the underlying security unless the
option expires without exercise. As the writer of a covered call option, a
Portfolio forgoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from
increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above
the sum of the premium and the exercise price of the call.
If trading were suspended in an option purchased by a Portfolio, the Portfolio
would not be able to close out the option. If restrictions on exercise were
imposed, the Portfolio might be unable to exercise an option it has purchased.
Except to the extent that a call option on an index written by the Portfolio is
SAI-7
<PAGE> 30
covered by an option on the same index purchased by the Portfolio, movements in
the index may result in a loss to the Portfolio; however, such losses may be
mitigated by changes in the value of the Portfolio's securities during the
period the option was outstanding.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS
A Portfolio may use interest rate and index futures contracts. An interest
rate or index futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and
purchase by another party of a specified quantity of a financial instrument or
the cash value of an index at a specified price and time. A futures contract
on an index is an agreement by which two parties agree to take or make delivery
of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at
the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the
index contract was originally written. Although the value of an index might be
a function of the value of certain specified securities, no physical delivery
of those securities is made.
Use of futures could facilitate the handling of portfolio cash flows and
trading and reduce transaction costs. Futures would not be used by the Large
Company Common Stock, Small Company Common Stock and Bond Portfolios for
hedging purposes but to gain exposure to the underlying indices with available
cash. The S&P 500 Index Future would be the instrument used to gain S&P 500
Index exposure in the AAL Variable Product Large Company Stock Portfolio. The
Russell 2000 Index future would be the instrument used to gain small
capitalization market exposure in the AAL Variable Product Small Company Stock
Portfolio. The Russell 2000 Index futures was introduced on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange on February 3, 1993 and has become the most liquid of the
small capitalization index futures.
A public market exists in futures contracts covering a number of other indexes,
as well as the following financial instruments: U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S.
Treasury notes, GNMA certificates, three-month U.S. Treasury bills, 90 day
commercial paper, bank certificates of deposit, and Eurodollar time deposits.
It is expected that other futures contracts will be developed and traded. A
Portfolio may engage in transactions involving new futures contracts (or
options thereon) if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, they are
appropriate in carrying out the investment objectives of the Portfolio.
The Portfolios may purchase or write call and put futures options. Futures
options possess many of the same characteristics as options on securities and
indexes. A futures option gives the holder the right, in return for the
premium paid, to assume a long position (call) or short position (put) in a
futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of
the option. Upon exercise of a call option, the holder acquires a long
position in the futures contract and the writer is assigned the opposite short
position. In the case of a put option, the opposite is true.
Each Portfolio will only enter into futures contracts and futures options which
are standardized and traded on a U.S. exchange, board of trade, or similar
entity, or quoted on an automated quotation system. Options on futures
contracts may be liquidated without exercise if the Fund enters into an
offsetting position in the identical option prior to the expiration date.
When a purchase or sale of a futures contract is made by a Portfolio, the
Portfolio is required to deposit with its custodian (or broker, if legally
permitted) a specified amount of cash or U.S. Government securities ("initial
margin"). The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on
which the contract is traded and may be modified during the term of the
contract. The initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good
faith deposit on the futures contract which is returned to the Portfolio upon
termination of the contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been
satisfied. A Portfolio expects to earn interest income on its initial margin
deposits. A futures contract held by a Portfolio is valued daily at the
official settlement price of the exchange on which it is traded. Each day the
Portfolio pays or receives cash, called "variation margin," equal to the daily
change in value of the
SAI-8
<PAGE> 31
futures contract. This process is known as "marking to market." Variation
margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by a Portfolio but is instead
settlement between the Portfolio and the broker of the amount one would owe the
other if the futures contract expired. In computing daily net asset value,
each Portfolio will mark to market its open futures positions.
In similar fashion, a Portfolio also is required to deposit and maintain margin
with respect to put and call options on futures contracts written by it. Such
margin deposits will vary depending on the nature of the underlying futures
contract (and the related initial margin requirements), the current market
value of the option, and other futures positions held by the Portfolio.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURES
There are several risks associated with the use of futures contracts and
futures options. A purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in losses
in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract. There can be no
guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the
futures contract and in the underlying index or debt instrument. There are
significant differences between the securities and futures markets that could
result in an imperfect correlation between the markets. The degree of
imperfection of correlation depends on circumstances such as: variations in
speculative market demand for futures, futures options and debt securities,
including technical influences in futures and futures options trading and
differences between the financial instruments owned or eligible to be acquired
by the Portfolios and the instruments underlying the standard contracts
available for trading, in such respects as interest rate levels, maturities,
and creditworthiness of issuers.
Futures exchanges may limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in certain
futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit
establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary
either up or down from the previous day's settlement price at the end of the
current trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a futures
contract subject to the limit, no more trades may be made on that day at a
price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements during a
particular trading day, and therefore does not limit potential losses because
the limit may work to prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. For
example, futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several
consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt
liquidation of positions and subjecting some holders of futures contracts to
substantial losses.
There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when a
Portfolio seeks to close out a futures or futures option position, and the
Portfolio would continue to be required to meet margin requirements until the
position is closed. In addition, many of the contracts discussed above are
relatively new instruments without a significant trading history. As a result,
there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or
continue to exist.
LIMITATIONS ON OPTIONS AND FUTURES
A Portfolio will not enter into a futures contract or purchase or write an
option thereon if, immediately thereafter, the initial margin deposits for
futures contracts held and options thereon written by that Portfolio plus
premiums paid by it for open futures options positions, less the amount by
which any such positions are "in the money," would exceed 5% of the Portfolio's
net assets. A call option is "in the money" if the price of the futures
contract that is the subject of the option exceeds the exercise price. A put
option is "in the money" if the exercise price exceeds the price of the futures
contract that is the subject of the option.
When purchasing a futures contract or writing a put on a futures contract, a
Portfolio must maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, cash or
cash equivalents which, when added to the related
SAI-9
<PAGE> 32
initial margin maintained by the Portfolio, equals the market value of such
contract. When writing a call option on a futures contract, the Portfolio
similarly will maintain with its custodian cash or cash equivalents which, when
added to the related initial margin maintained by the Portfolio, at all times
equals the amount such option is in the money until the option expires or is
closed out by the Portfolio.
A Portfolio may not maintain open short positions in futures contracts, call
options written on futures contracts or call options written on indexes if, in
the aggregate, the market value of all such open positions exceeds the current
value of the securities in its portfolio, plus or minus unrealized gains and
losses on the open positions, adjusted for the historical relative volatility
of the relationship between the portfolio and the positions. For this purpose,
to the extent the Portfolio has written call options on specific securities in
its portfolio, the value of those securities will be deducted from the current
market value of the securities portfolio.
TAXATION OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES
If a Portfolio exercises a call or put option it owns, the premium paid for the
option is added to the cost of the security purchased (call) or deducted from
the proceeds of the sale (put). For cash settlement options and futures
options, the difference between the cash received at exercise and the premium
paid is a capital gain or loss.
If a call or put option written by a Portfolio is exercised, the premium is
included in the proceeds of the sale of the underlying security (call) or
reduces the cost of the security purchased (put). For cash settlement options
and futures options, the difference between the cash paid at exercise and the
premium received is a capital gain or loss.
A Portfolio will realize a capital gain from a closing purchase transaction if
the cost of the closing option is less than the premium received from writing
the option, or, if it is more, the Portfolio will realize a capital loss. If
the premium received from a closing sale transaction is more than the premium
paid to purchase the option, the Portfolio will realize a capital gain or, if
it is less, the Portfolio will realize a capital loss. If an option was "in
the money" at the time it was written and the security covering the option was
held for more than six months prior to the writing of the option, any loss
realized as a result of a closing purchase transaction will be long term. The
holding period of the securities covering an "in the money" option will not
include the period of time the option is outstanding.
If an option written by a Portfolio expires, the Portfolio realizes a capital
gain equal to the premium received at the time the option was written. If an
option purchased by a Portfolio expires unexercised, the Portfolio realizes a
capital loss equal to the premium paid.
Although some futures contracts call for making or taking delivery of the
underlying securities, generally these obligations are closed out prior to
delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures contracts (same
exchange, underlying security or index, and delivery month). If an offsetting
purchase price is less than the original sale price, the Portfolio realizes a
capital gain, or if it is more, the Portfolio realizes a capital loss.
Conversely, if an offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase
price, the Portfolio realizes a capital gain, or if it is less, the Portfolio
realizes a capital loss. The transaction costs must also be included in these
calculations.
A futures contract held until delivery results in capital gain or loss equal to
the difference between the price at which the futures contract was entered into
and the settlement price on the earlier of the delivery notice date or
expiration date. If a Portfolio delivers securities under a futures contract,
the Portfolio also realizes a capital gain or loss on those securities.
SAI-10
<PAGE> 33
For federal income tax purposes, a Portfolio generally is required to recognize
as income for each taxable year its net unrealized gains and losses as of the
end of the year on options (other than an option on a stock), futures and
futures options positions ("year-end mark to market"). Generally, any gain or
loss recognized with respect to such positions (either by year end mark to
market or by actual closing of the positions) is considered to be 60% long term
and 40% short term, without regard to the holding periods of the contracts.
However, in the case of positions classified as part of a "mixed straddle," the
recognition of losses on certain positions (including options, futures and
futures options positions, the related securities and certain successor
positions thereto) may be deferred to a later taxable year. Sale of futures
contracts or writing of call options (or futures call options) or buying put
options (or futures put options) which are intended to hedge against a change
in the value of securities held by a Portfolio: (1) will affect the holding
period of the hedged securities; and (2) may cause unrealized gain or loss on
such securities to be recognized upon entry into the hedge.
In order for each Portfolio to continue to qualify for federal income tax
treatment as a regulated investment company, at least 90% of its gross income
for a taxable year must be derived from qualifying income: i.e., dividends,
interest, income derived from loans of securities, and gains from the sale of
securities. In addition, gains realized on the sale or other disposition of
securities held for less than three months must be limited to less than 30% of
the Portfolio's annual gross income. Any net gain realized from futures (or
futures options) contracts will be considered gain from the sale of securities
and therefore be qualifying income for purposes of the 90% requirement. In
order to avoid realizing excessive gains on securities held less than three
months, the Portfolio may be required to defer the closing out of certain
positions beyond the time when it would otherwise be advantageous to do so.
Year-end mark to market gains on positions open for less than three months as
of the end of a Portfolio's fiscal year are considered gains on securities held
three months or more for purposes of the 30% test.
Each Portfolio distributes to shareholders annually any net capital gains which
have been recognized for federal income tax purposes (including year-end mark
to market gains) on options and futures transactions. Such distributions are
combined with distributions of capital gains realized on the Portfolio's other
investments and shareholders are advised of the nature of the payments.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
Each Portfolio operates under the following investment restrictions. A
Portfolio may not:
(1) make any investment if, immediately thereafter, less than 75%
of its total assets would be represented by (a) cash,
receivables and other cash items, (b) securities issued by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and (c)
other securities limited in respect of any one issuer to an
amount not greater in value than 5% of such total assets. For
purposes of this restriction, repurchase agreements fully
collateralized by securities of the U.S. Government, its
agencies and instrumentalities shall be considered to be
securities issued by the governmental entity in question,
rather than by the repurchase agreement obligor;
(2) purchase securities on margin, except for use of short term
credit necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of
portfolio securities, but it may, to the extent consistent
with its investment objectives and policies, make margin
deposits in connection with transactions in options, futures
and options on futures;
SAI-11
<PAGE> 34
(3) make short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
or write, purchase, or sell puts, calls, straddles, spreads,
or combinations thereof, except, to the extent consistent with
its investment objectives and policies, transactions in
options on securities or indexes, interest rate and index
futures and options on such futures;
(4) make loans to other persons, except that the Portfolios
reserve freedom of action, consistent with their other
investment policies and restrictions and as described in the
Prospectus and this SAI, to (i) invest in debt obligations,
including those which are either publicly offered or of a type
customarily purchased by institutional investors, even though
the purchase of such debt obligations may be deemed the making
of loans, (ii) enter into repurchase agreements, and (iii)
lend portfolio securities, provided that no Portfolio may lend
securities if, as a result, the aggregate value of all
securities loaned would exceed 33% of its total assets (taken
at market value at the time of such loan);
(5) issue senior securities or borrow, except that a Portfolio may
borrow in amounts not in excess of 10% of its total assets,
taken at current value, and then only from banks, as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes.
The Portfolios will not borrow to increase income but may
borrow, among other things, to meet redemption requests which
otherwise might require untimely dispositions of portfolio
securities;
(6) mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or in any manner transfer, as
security for indebtedness, any securities owned or held by a
Portfolio except as may be necessary in connection with and
subject to the limits in restriction (5);
(7) underwrite any issue of securities, except to the extent that
the purchase of securities directly from an issuer thereof in
accord with a Portfolio's investment objectives and policies
may be deemed to be underwriting or to the extent that in
connection with the disposition of portfolio securities a
Portfolio may be deemed an underwriter under federal
securities laws;
(8) purchase or sell real estate, provided that a Portfolio may
invest in securities secured by real estate or interests
therein or issued by companies which invest in real estate or
interests therein;
(9) purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except
that, to the extent consistent with its investment objective
and policies, a Portfolio may purchase or sell interest rate
and index futures and options thereon. For purposes of this
restriction, foreign exchange contracts are not considered to
be commodities contracts;
(10) invest more than 25% of its total assets (taken at current
value at the time of each investment) in securities of issuers
whose principal business activities are in the same industry.
For purposes of this restriction, telephone, water, gas and
electric public utilities are each regarded as separate
industries, and wholly-owned finance subsidiaries are
considered to be in the industry of their parents if their
activities are primarily related to financing the activities
of their parents. Nor does this restriction apply to
investments by a Portfolio in obligations of the U.S.
Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities. Nor,
with respect to the AAL Variable Product Money Market
Portfolio, does this restriction apply to certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar obligations of
domestic banking institutions;
SAI-12
<PAGE> 35
(11) invest in oil, gas or mineral related programs or leases;
(12) invest in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven
days or in other securities with legal or contractual
restrictions on resale if, as a result thereof, more than 15%
of a Portfolio's total assets (10% in the case of the AAL
Variable Product Money Market Portfolio), taken at current
value at the time of such investment, would be invested in
such securities;
(13) purchase securities of other investment companies, if the
purchase would cause more than 10% of the value of a
Portfolio's total assets to be invested in investment company
securities, provided that (a) no investment will be made in
the securities of any one investment company if, immediately
after such investment, more than 3% of the outstanding voting
securities of such company would be owned by a Portfolio or
more than 5% of the value of a Portfolio's total assets would
be invested in such company, and (b) no restrictions shall
apply to a purchase of investment company securities in
connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or
reorganization; or
(14) purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
an issuer or invest for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
For purposes of any restrictions or limitations to which the Fund is subject,
no Portfolio, by entering into any futures contract or acquiring or writing any
option thereon or on any security or market index, shall be deemed:
(1) to have acquired or invested in any securities of any exchange
or clearing corporation for any such instrument; or
(2) to have acquired or invested in any debt obligations or in any
stocks comprising indexes on which such instrument is based,
but which the Portfolio does not hold directly in its
portfolio.
In pursuing their respective objectives, each Portfolio may employ the
investment techniques described in the Prospectus and elsewhere in this SAI.
Each Portfolio's investment objective is a fundamental policy, which may not be
changed without the approval of a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" of that Portfolio. Each of the restrictions (1) through (14),
above, are not deemed fundamental policies, and therefore, may be changed
without shareholder approval, except to the extent such approval is legally
required.
PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS
Purchases and redemptions are discussed in the Prospectus under the headings
"Purchase and Redemption of Shares," "Description of Shares," and "Net Asset
Value," and that information is incorporated herein by reference.
The Fund's net asset value is determined only on days on which the New York
Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for trading and on which AAL is open
for business. The Exchange is regularly closed on Saturdays and Sundays and on
New Year's Day, the third Monday in February, Good Friday, the last Monday in
May, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If one of these
holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Exchange will be closed on the
preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively. In addition to the
foregoing, during 1996, AAL will be closed for business on the Fridays after
Independence Day and Thanksgiving, and the day before Christmas.
SAI-13
<PAGE> 36
The Fund intends to pay all redemption proceeds in cash. However, redemptions
may be paid wholly or partly by a distribution "in-kind" of securities if the
Fund's Board of Directors deems this to be in the best interest of the Fund or
its shareholders. If redemptions were made in kind, the redeeming shareholders
might incur brokerage fees in selling the securities received in the
redemptions.
Each Portfolio reserves the right to suspend or postpone redemptions during any
period when: (a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, as
determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or that Exchange is
closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (b) the
Securities and Exchange Commission has by order permitted such suspension; or
(c) an emergency, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
exists, making disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of net assets of
the Portfolio not reasonably practicable, and for such other periods as the
Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of
shareholders of each Portfolio.
THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO--AMORTIZED COST VALUATION
The AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio values its portfolio securities
on the basis of their amortized cost. Amortized cost is an approximation of
market value, whereby the difference between acquisition cost and value at
maturity is amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining life of the
instrument. The effect of changes in the market value of a security as a
result of fluctuating interest rates is not taken into account and thus, the
amortized cost method of valuation may result in the value of a security being
higher or lower than its actual market value. In addition, if a large number
of redemptions take place at a time when interest rates have increased, the
Portfolio may have to sell portfolio securities prior to maturity and at a
price which might not be as desirable.
The Portfolio uses its best efforts to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per
share for purchases and redemptions. The Board of Directors has established
procedures for this purpose, which procedures include a review of the extent of
any deviation of NAV per share, based on available market quotations, from the
$1.00 amortized cost per share. Should that deviation exceed 1/2 of 1% for the
Portfolio, the Board of Directors will promptly consider whether any action
should be initiated to eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair
results to shareholders. Such action may include redemption of shares in kind,
selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, reducing or withholding
dividends, and utilizing a NAV per share as determined by using available
market quotations. The Portfolio will maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and will not purchase any instrument
deemed to have a remaining maturity greater than 397 days, will limit portfolio
investments, (including repurchase agreements), to those dollar denominated
instruments that the Board of Directors determine present minimal credit risks
as advised by the Adviser, and will comply with the requirements as to the
quality of certain portfolio securities specified by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for money market funds using the amortized cost method of
valuation and with certain related reporting and recordkeeping procedures.
There is no assurance that constant NAV per share can be maintained at all
times. In the event amortized cost ceases to represent fair value, the Board
will take appropriate action.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
Please refer to the description of the Adviser, its Advisory Agreement with the
Fund, and fees under "MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND" in the Prospectus, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
SAI-16
<PAGE> 39
The Advisory Agreement provides that, subject to Section 36 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the Adviser shall not be liable to the
Fund for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of
any investment or for any act or omission in the management of the Fund and the
performance of its duties under the Agreement except for willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.
In the event the expenses of a Portfolio (including the fees of the Adviser and
amortization of organization expenses, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, extraordinary expenses and sales charges and distribution fees)
for any fiscal year exceed the limits set by applicable regulations of state
securities commissions, the Adviser will reduce its fee by up to the amount of
such excess. Any such reductions are subject to readjustment during the year.
The payment of the management fee at the end of any month will be reduced or
postponed or, if necessary, a refund will be made to a Portfolio so that at no
time will there by any accrued, but unpaid, liability under this expense
limitation.
The Fund has agreed to use its best efforts to change its name if the Adviser
ceases to act as such with respect to the Fund and the continued use of the
Fund's present name would create confusion in the context of the Adviser's
business.
The Advisory Agreement was most recently approved by the Board of Directors of
the Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not interested persons
(as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Agreement, on February 28,
1996, and was approved by Fund shareholders on April 24, 1996. The Advisory
Agreement terminates automatically upon assignment or at any time without
penalty by vote of the Fund's Board of Directors or, with respect to any
Portfolio, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such
Portfolio, or by the Adviser, in each case on 60 days' written notice to the
other party.
AAL received the following investment advisory fees for the period from June
14, 1995 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1995:

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
For more information, please refer to "MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND - - Portfolio
Transactions," in the Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Adviser directs the placement or orders for the purchase and sale of the
Funds' portfolio securities.
The costs of securities transactions for each Portfolio will consist primarily
of brokerage commissions or dealer or underwriter spreads. Bonds and money
market instruments are generally traded on a net basis and do not normally
involve brokerage commissions. Occasionally, securities may be purchased
directly from the issuer, which does not involve the payment of commissions.
For securities traded primarily in the over-the-counter market, the dealers who
make a market in the securities will be dealt with directly unless better
prices and execution are available elsewhere. Such dealers usually act as
principals for their own account. In placing portfolio transactions, the
Adviser seeks the best combination of price and execution.
In determining which brokers and dealers provide best price and execution, the
Adviser looks primarily to the price quoted by the broker or dealer, and
normally places orders with the broker or dealer through which the most
favorable price can be obtained. It is expected that securities will
ordinarily be purchased in the primary markets, and that in assessing the best
net price and execution available to a Portfolio, the Adviser will consider all
factors deemed relevant, including the breadth or the market in the security,
the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of
the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of the commission, if any (for the
specific transaction and on a continuing basis).
Assuming equal execution capabilities and price, other factors may be taken
into account in selecting brokers or dealers to execute particular transactions
and in evaluating the best net price and execution available. The Adviser may
consider "brokerage and research services" (as those terms are defined in
Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), statistical quotations,
specifically the quotations necessary to determine the Portfolios' net asset
values, and other information provided to the Fund or to the Adviser. The
Adviser may also cause a Portfolio to pay to a broker who provides brokerage
and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction which
is in excess of the amount of commission another broker would have charged for
effecting that transaction. The Adviser must determine, in good faith,
however, that such commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided, viewed in terms of that particular
transaction or in terms of all the accounts over which the Adviser exercises
investment discretion. It is possible that certain of the services received by
the Adviser attributable to a particular transaction will benefit one or more
other accounts for which investment discretion is exercised by the Adviser.
Brokerage commissions paid by each of the Portfolios listed below were as
follows for the period from June 14, 1995 (commencement of operations) through
December 31, 1995:

Certain Portfolios paid brokerage commissions in connection with brokerage
transactions that were directed to brokers because of brokerage and research
services provided by such brokers. During the period from June 14, 1995

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Each of the Portfolios' dividends from net investment income together with
distributions of short-term capital gains (collectively "income dividends") are
taxable as ordinary income to AAL as sole shareholder, whether reinvested in
additional shares or paid in cash. Any long-term capital gains ("capital gain
distributions") distributed to shareholders are treated as such by the
shareholder, whether received in cash or in additional shares, regardless of
the length of time a shareholder has owned the shares. All of the Portfolios
intend to distribute all their net investment income and net realized long-term
capital gains. The AAL Variable Product Small and Large Company Stock, Bond
and Balanced Portfolios expect to pay any income dividends monthly. The AAL
Variable Product Money Market Portfolio will accrue income dividends daily and
expects to pay these dividends daily. All of the Portfolios expect to
distribute long-term capital gains, if any, annually.
The fact that dividends and distributions may be taxable to AAL as sole
shareholder does not necessarily imply a tax consequence to the Owner. For
information regarding tax consequences to Owners, please refer to "FEDERAL TAX
STATUS" in the Certificate Prospectus.
CALCULATION OF YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN
From time to time the Fund may advertise yield and total return for various
periods of investment. Such advertisements will always include uniform
performance calculations based on standardized methods established by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and may also include other total return
information. Performance information should be considered in light of the
particular Portfolio's investment objectives and policies, characteristics and
quality of its portfolio securities and the market conditions during the
applicable periods and should not be considered as a representation of what may
be achieved in the future. Investors should consider these factors, in
addition to differences in the methods used in calculating performance
information and the impact of taxes on alternative investments, when comparing
a particular Portfolio's performance to any performance data published for
alternative investments.
STANDARDIZED PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN. For each of the Portfolios, except the AAL
Variable Product Money Market Portfolio, standardized average annual total
return is computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return
over the 1, 5 and 10 year periods (or, in the case of a start-up Fund such as
this, the portion thereof during which the Fund has been in existence) that
would equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value
according to the following formula:
n
P (1 + T) = ERV
Where:
P = A hypothetical $1,000 initial payment;
T = Average annual total return;
n = Number of years;
ERV = Ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
payment made at the beginning of the 1, 5 and 10
year periods (or fractional portion thereof).
For the period from June 14, 1995 (commencement of operations) through December
31, 1995, the average annual total return* for each Portfolio was as follows:
SAI-21
<PAGE> 44

--------- --------------
<S> <C>
AAL Variable Product Large Company Stock Portfolio 16.39%
AAL Variable Product Small Company Stock Portfolio 10.70%
AAL Variable Product Bond Portfolio 5.80%
AAL Variable Product Balanced Portfolio 11.46%
AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio 5.58%
</TABLE>
___________________________
* The total return figures provided for each Portfolio (except for the
Money Market Portfolio) are provided on an unannualized, or cumulative
basis, for the period indicated. The total return figure for the
Money Market Portfolio is provided on an annualized basis; on an
unannualized basis the total return for the Money Market Portfolio for
the period indicated would be 3.02%. Additionally, these values
reflect the deduction of a .35% annual management fee, but do not
reflect Portfolio expenses which are voluntarily paid by AAL or
reimbursed by AAL. Without the payment and reimbursement of expenses
by AAL, which can be changed on 30 days notice, these total returns
would have been lower.
CURRENT YIELD. Current yield quotations for the Portfolios, except the AAL
Variable Product Money Market Portfolio, are based on a 30-day (or one-month)
period, and are computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned
during the period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of
the period, according to the following formula:
6
2[(a-b + 1) - 1]
Yield = ---
cd
a = Dividends and interest earned during the period;
b = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements);
c = The average daily number of shares outstanding during the
period that were entitled to receive dividends; and
d = The maximum offering price per share on the last day of the
period.
For purposes of this calculation, income earned on debt obligations is
determined by applying a calculated yield-to-maturity percentage to the
obligations held during the period. Interest earned on mortgage-backed
securities will be calculated using the coupon rate and principal amount after
adjustment for a monthly paydown. Income earned on common and preferred stocks
is determined by using the stated annual dividend rate applied over the
performance period.
For the one-month period ended December 31, 1995, the current yield for the AAL
Variable Product Bond Portfolio was 5.80% and for the AAL Variable Product
Balanced Portfolio was 3.84%.
CALCULATION OF YIELD -- AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
The AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio may quote a "Current Yield" or
"Effective Yield" from time to time. The Current Yield is an annualized yield
based on the net change in account value for a seven day period. The Effective
Yield is an annualized yield based on a daily compounding of the Current Yield.
These yields are each computed by first determining the "Net Change in Account
Value"
SAI-22
<PAGE> 45
for a hypothetical account having a balance of one share at the beginning of a
seven-day period ("Beginning Account Value"), excluding capital changes.
The yields then are computed as follows:
Current Yield = (Net Change in Account Value) X (365)
--------------------------- ---
Beginning Account Value 7
Effective Yield = [(Net Change in Account Value) 365/7] - 1
---------------------------
1 + Beginning Account Value
In addition to fluctuations reflecting changes in net income of the Portfolio
resulting from changes in income earned on its portfolio securities and in its
expenses, the Portfolio's yield also would be affected if the Portfolio were to
restrict or supplement its dividends in order to maintain its NAV at $1.00 per
share. See "PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS--The AAL Variable Product Money Market
Portfolio--Amortized Cost Valuation." Portfolio changes resulting from net
purchases or net redemptions of Portfolio shares may affect yield.
Accordingly, the Portfolio's yield may vary from day to day and the yield
stated for a particular past period is not a representation as to its future
yield. The Portfolio's yield is not guaranteed, nor is its principal insured;
however, the Portfolio will attempt to maintain its NAV per share at $1.00.
For the seven days ended December 31, 1995, the Current and Effective Yields of
the AAL Variable Product Money Market Portfolio were 5.46% and 5.61%,
respectively.
OTHER PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
All of the Portfolios may, from time to time, include in their advertisements,
total return quotations computed for a time period, or by a method which
differs from the computations described in the foregoing section. Calculations
of the growth of an investment, at various assumed interest rates and
compounding, may be used to show the effect of the length of time, interest
rate and/or tax deferral on an investment.
Comparison of the Portfolio's yield with those of alternative investments (such
as savings accounts, various types of bank deposits, and other money market
funds) should consider differences between the Portfolio and the alternative
investments, differences in the periods and methods used in the calculation of
the yields being compared, and the impact of taxes on alternative investments.
The Portfolios may, from time to time, illustrate the benefits of tax deferral
by comparing taxable investments to investments made in tax deferred retirement
plans and may illustrate in graph or chart form, or otherwise, the benefit of
dollar cost averaging by comparing investments made pursuant to a systematic
investment plan.
The Portfolios may also, from time to time, illustrate the concepts of asset
allocation by use of hypothetical case studies representing various life cycles
and/or risk levels of an Owner.
PRICING CONSIDERATIONS
Reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily available for many
long-term corporate bonds and notes, certain preferred stocks, or certain
foreign securities. These investments are stated
SAI-23
<PAGE> 46
at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by pricing services approved
by the Directors, which determine valuations for normal, institutional-size
trading units of such securities using methods based on market transactions for
comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are
generally recognized by institutional traders.
Generally, trading in U.S. Government securities and other fixed income
securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the
close of the New York Stock Exchange. The values of such securities used in
determining the NAV of a Portfolio's shares are computed as of such times.
Occasionally, events affecting the value of such securities may occur between
such times and the close of the New York Stock Exchange, which events will not
be reflected in the computation of a Portfolio's NAV. If events materially
affecting the value of the Fund's securities occur during such a period, then
these securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
by the Directors.
GENERAL
The Fund's Articles and Bylaws permit its Directors to issue up to 2 billion
shares of common stock on a full or fractional share basis, and to divide or
combine the shares into a greater or lesser number of shares without thereby
changing the proportionate beneficial interest in a Portfolio. Each share
represents an interest in a Portfolio proportionately equal to the interest of
each other share. If the Fund were to liquidate, all shareholders of a
Portfolio would share pro rata in its net assets available for distribution to
shareholders. If they deem it advisable and in the best interests of
shareholders, the Board may create additional classes of shares which may
differ from each other only as to dividends or, as is the case with the
Portfolios, have separate assets and liabilities (in which case any such class
would have a designation including the word "series").
Income and operating expenses are generally allocated to the Portfolio in which
the related assets are held. In the event that there are any assets, income,
liabilities, or expenses which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any
particular Portfolio, the Directors will allocate them among any one or more of
the Portfolios in such manner and on such basis as the Directors, in their sole
discretion, deem fair and equitable.
SAI-24
<PAGE> 47
APPENDIX: SECURITY RATINGS
RATINGS IN GENERAL
A rating by a rating service represents the service's opinion as to the credit
quality of the security being rated. However, the ratings are general and are
not absolute standards as to the creditworthiness of an issuer. Consequently,
the Adviser believes that the quality of debt securities in which the AAL
Variable Product Bond, Balanced and Money Market Portfolios invest should be
periodically reviewed and individual analysts give different weight to the
various factors involved in credit analysis. A rating is not a recommendation
to purchase, sell or hold a security, because it does not take into account
market value or suitability for a particular investor. When a security has
received a rating from more than one service, each rating should be evaluated
independently. Ratings are based on current information furnished by the
issuer or obtained by the rating services from other sources which they
consider reliable. Ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result
of changes in, or unavailability of, such information, or for other reasons.
The following is a description of the characteristics of ratings used by
Moody's, S&P and Duff & Phelps:
CORPORATE BOND RATINGS
RATINGS BY MOODY'S
AAA -- Bonds which are rated AAA are judged to be of the best quality and carry
the smallest degree of investment risk. Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin, and principal is secure. While the
various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be
visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of
such issues.
AA -- Bonds which are rated AA are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known
as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins
of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements
present which make the long term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa
securities.
A -- Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and
are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving
security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be
present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
BAA -- Bonds rated BAA are considered medium grade obligations, i.e., they are
neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.
Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact may have
speculative characteristics as well.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers "l," "2," and "3" to the Aa, A and Baa
rating classifications. The modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks in
the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier "2" indicates a
mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates that the issue ranks in the
lower end of its generic rating category.
SAI-25
<PAGE> 48
RATINGS BY STANDARD & POOR'S
AAA -- Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's to a
debt obligation. Extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.
AA -- Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity
to pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of instances
they differ from AAA issues only in small degree.
A -- Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest,
although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions.
BBB -- Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds
in this category than for bonds in higher rated categories.
S&P ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to
show relative standing within the major ratings categories.
RATINGS BY DUFF & PHELPS
AAA -- Highest credit quality. The risk factors are negligible, being only
slightly more than for risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.
AA -- High credit quality. Protection factors are strong. Risk is modest but
may vary slightly from time to time because of economic conditions.
A -- Good quality investment grade securities. Protection factors are average
but adequate. However, risk factors are more variable and greater in periods
of economic stress.
BBB -- Below average protection factors but still considered sufficient for
institutional investment. Considerable variability risk during economic
cycles.
The Duff & Phelps ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or
minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major ratings categories.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
RATINGS BY MOODY'S
Moody's commercial paper ratings are opinions of the ability to repay
punctually the obligations. Moody's employs the following three investment
grade designations to indicate the relative repayment capacity of the rated
issuers: Prime 1 (Highest Quality); Prime 2 (Higher Quality); Prime 3 (High
Quality).
The rating Prime is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody's.
Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning ratings are the following:
evaluation of the management of the issuer; economic evaluation of the issuer's
industry or industries and an appraisal of speculative-type risks which may be
inherent in certain areas; evaluation of the issuer's products in relation to
competition and customer acceptance; liquidity; amount and quality of
long-term debt; trend of earnings over a period of 10 years; financial
strength of any parent company and the relationships which
SAI-26
<PAGE> 49
exist with the issuer; and recognition by the management of obligations which
may be present or may arise as a result of public interest questions and
preparations to meet such obligations. These factors are all considered in
determining whether the relative repayment capacity of the issuer is rated
Prime-1 (Highest Quality), Prime-2 (Higher Quality), or Prime-3 (High Quality).
The Portfolios will not invest in commercial paper rated Prime-3.
RATINGS BY S & P
Issues assigned the highest rating, A, are regarded as having the greatest
capacity for timely payment. Issues in this category are delineated with the
numbers "1," "2," and "3" to indicate the relative degree of safety. The
designation A-1 indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is
either overwhelming or very strong. A "+" designation is applied to those
issues rated "A-l" which possess overwhelming safety characteristics. Capacity
for timely payment on issues with the designation "A-2" is strong. However,
the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1. The
Portfolios will not invest in commercial paper rated A-3.
RATINGS BY DUFF & PHELPS
Category 1: Top Grade
Duff 1 plus: Highest certainty of timely payment. Short-term liquidity,
including internal operating factors and/or ready access to
alternative sources of funds, is clearly outstanding, and
safety is just below risk-free U.S. Treasury short-term
obligations.
Duff 1: Very high certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors are
excellent and supported by strong fundamental protection
factors. Risk factors are minor.
Duff 1 minus: High certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors are
strong and supported by good fundamental protection factors.
Risk factors are very small.
Category 2: Good Grade
Duff 2: Good certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors and
company fundamentals are sound. Although ongoing internal
funds needs may enlarge total financing requirements, access
to capital markets is good. Risk factors are small.

AAL Variable Annuity Account I
Notes to Financial Statements
..............................
December 31, 1995
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The AAL Variable Annuity Account I (the Account) is a unit investment trust
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Account was
established as a separate investment account within Aid Association for
Lutherans (AAL) to fund flexible premium deferred variable annuity insurance
certificates. The Account commenced operations on June 15, 1995.
The Account has five separate subaccounts, each of which invests solely, as
directed by contract owners, in a different portfolio of the AAL Variable
Product Series Fund, Inc. (the Fund), an open-end, diversified management
investment company sponsored by AAL. Contract owners also may direct
investments to a guaranteed interest subaccount held in the general account of
AAL.
Investments in shares of the Fund are stated at market value, which is the
closing net asset value per share as determined by the Fund. The first-in,
first-out basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from
investment transactions and the cost basis for determining unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on investments. Dividends and capital gain
distributions paid to the Account are automatically reinvested in shares of the
Fund on the payment date.
NOTE 2: EXPENSE CHARGES
The Account pays AAL certain amounts relating to the distribution and
administration of the certificates funded by the Account and as reimbursement
for certain mortality and other risks assumed by AAL. The following summarizes
those amounts.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
AAL deducts a daily mortality and expense risk charge from the Account at an
annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Account. These
charges are deducted by AAL in return for its assumption of risks associated
with adverse mortality experience or excess administrative expenses in
connection with certificates issued.
Certificate Maintenance Charge
Prior to the annuity payment period, AAL deducts a certificate maintenance
charge of $25 per certificate year to reimburse it for administrative expenses
related to the contract, unless the sum of premiums received by AAL less the
sum of any withdrawals and withdrawal charges from the certificate is $5,000 or
more at the time the deduction would be made. A portion of this charge may be
deducted from funds held outside of the Account (i.e., in the Fixed Account).
Withdrawal and Surrender Charges
A withdrawal and surrender charge is imposed in the event of a full or partial
surrender in excess of 10% of the accumulated value during the first seven
contract years. The amount charged is 7% of the amount surrendered during the
first contract year and declines by 1% in each of the next six contract years.
No surrender charge is deducted if the partial surrender or surrender occurs
after seven full contract years.

NOTE 2: EXPENSE CHARGES (CONTINUED)
Transfer Charge
Owners may request transfers of all or part of a certificate's accumulated
value among the subaccounts and/or the fixed annuity, prior to the annuity
commencement date. The owner may make two transfers from one or more
subaccounts to other subaccounts or the fixed annuity in each certificate year
without charge. Thereafter, each transfer will be subject to a $10 transfer
charge.
NOTE 3: FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The operations of the Account form a part of the operations of AAL. AAL, a
fraternal benefit society, qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under the
Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income taxes are payable
with respect to the Account's net investment income and net realized gain on
investments. Accordingly, no charge for income taxes is currently being made to
the Account. If such taxes are incurred by AAL in the future, a charge to the
Account may be assessed.

investment securities sold by subaccount for the period June 15, 1995 to

Report of Independent Auditors
..............................
The Board of Directors and Certificateowners
Aid Association for Lutherans
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the AAL Variable
Annuity Account I (comprising, respectively, the Money Market, Bond, Balanced,
Large Company Stock and Small Company Stock Subaccounts) as of December 31,
1995, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the
period from June 15, 1995 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Account's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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, 1995, by correspondence with
the transfer agent. 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective
subaccounts constituting the AAL Variable Annuity Account I at December 31,
1995, and the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for
the period June 15, 1995 to December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION.
Section E, subsection (viii) of Article SEVENTH of Registrant's Articles of
Incorporation states as follows:
"(E) (viii) Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. To the
fullest extent permitted by Maryland and Federal law, as amended or
interpreted, no Director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally
liable to the Corporation or the holders of shares of its series or classes for
money damages and each Director and officer shall be indemnified by the
Corporation; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect
any Director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the
Corporation or the holders of shares of its series or classes to which such
Director or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his or her office".
Part C - 2
<PAGE> 83
Moreover, Article X of the By-Laws further provides:
"Section 10.01. Indemnification: The Corporation shall indemnify any
individual ("Indemnitee") who is a present or former Director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or has been serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee,
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, who, by reason of his service in that capacity, was, is, or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
(hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Proceeding") against any judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, to the
fullest extent that such indemnification may be lawful under the Maryland
General Corporation Law. Subject to any applicable limitations and
requirements set forth in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and in
these By-Laws, any payment of indemnification or advance of expenses, as
provided below, shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Maryland General Corporation Law. [MGCL, Section 2-418(b)]
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall protect or purport
to protect any Indemnitee against any liability to which he would otherwise be
subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office (such
conduct hereinafter referred to as "Disabling Conduct"). [Investment Company
Act, Section 17(h)]
Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, no
indemnification shall be made by the Corporation to any Indemnitee unless:
(a) there is a final decision on the merits by a court or other
body before whom the Proceeding was brought that the
Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct; or
(b) in the absence of such a decision, there is a reasonable
determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the
Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct,
which determination shall be made by:
(i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of Directors who
are neither "interested persons" of the Corporation
as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment
Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or
(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
[MGCL, Section 2-418(e)]
Section 10.02. Advance Payment of Expenses: The Corporation shall
pay any reasonable expenses so incurred by such Indemnitee in defending a
Proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof to the fullest extent
that such advance payment may be lawful under the Maryland General Corporation
Law. [MGCL, Section 2-418(f)]
Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, any
advance of expenses by the Corporation to any Indemnitee shall be made only
upon receipt of: (a) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of his good faith
that the requisite standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the
Maryland General Corporation Law has been met and (b) a written undertaking by
such Indemnitee to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that such
standard of conduct has not been met, and if one of the following conditions is
met:
(a) the Indemnitee provides a security for his undertaking; or
Part C - 3
<PAGE> 84
(b) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by
reason of any lawful advances; or
(c) there is a determination, based on a review of readily
available facts, that there is reason to believe that the
Indemnitee will ultimately be found entitled to
indemnification, which determination shall be made by:
(i) a majority of a quorum of Directors who are neither
"interested persons" of the Corporation as defined in
Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor
parties to the Proceeding; or
(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
Section 10.03. Insurance of Officers, Directors, Employees, and
Agents: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Maryland law and by
Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act, as from time to time amended, the
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise, against any liability assessed against him and
incurred by him in or arising out of his position, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.
[MGCL, Section 2-418(k)]
Pursuant to a resolution, dated February 7, 1996, the Board of
Directors of AAL resolved that AAL would indemnify the Fund in an amount not to
exceed the total sum of five million dollars ($5,000,000), in the event the
Fund advances or indemnifies the expenses of any officer or director of the
Fund for defense litigation costs, or if the Fund incurs or pays any expenses,
judgments, fines or settlements incurred by a director or officer of the Fund
for any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. However, in no event would
AAL provide indemnification for any director's or officer's liability which
arises from such person's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person's
position.
Section 2(d) of the Investment Advisory Agreement between AAL and the
Fund, filed as Exhibit 5 to this Registration Statement, provides that the Fund
will indemnify the Adviser (and its officers, directors, agents, employees and
controlling persons, shareholders and any other person or entity affiliated
with the Adviser) from any liability arising from the Advisers' conduct under
the Agreement, to the extent permitted under the Fund's Articles and By-Laws
and applicable law; provided that said indemnity does not extend to liabilities
resulting from the indemnitee's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under the Agreement.
Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Participation Agreement, filed as
Exhibit 6 to this Registration Statement, AAL agrees to indemnify the Fund and
its directors, officers and controlling persons against certain liabilities.
Pursuant to Section 7.2 of said Participation Agreement, the Fund agrees to
indemnify AAL and its directors, officers, employees and control persons, some
of whom are also directors, officers or affiliated persons of the Fund, against
certain liabilities. Section 7.1 and 7.2 are incorporated by reference into
this response to Item 27.
Section 14 of the Transfer Agency Agreement between AAL and Fund,
filed as Exhibit 9(a) to this Registration Statement, provides, in part, that
the Fund shall indemnify AAL from loss resulting from any claim in connection
with the performance of the duties under the Agreement; provided, however, that
the indemnification shall not apply to AAL's actions or omissions in cases of
AAL's gross
Part C - 4
<PAGE> 85
negligence, bad faith or willful misfeasance in the performance of its duties,
or that of AAL's officers, agents and employees in the performance of the
Agreement.
Section 8 of the Administrative Services Agreement, filed as Exhibit
9(c) to this Registration Statement, provides, in part, that AAL Capital
Management Corporation ("AALCMC") (and its officers, directors, employees, and
any person performing certain functions on behalf of the Fund at the direction
or request of AALCMC) shall not be liable for any error of judgment, mistake of
law, or loss suffered by AAL or the Fund, in connection with matters to which
the Administrative Services Agreement relates, except for loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the duties
on behalf of AAL or the Fund, or from reckless disregard of the duties under
the Administrative Services Agreement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling
persons of registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer or controlling person of
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 28. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER.
Aid Association for Lutherans (the "Adviser") is the investment adviser of the
Registrant. Information as to the business, profession, vocation or employment
of a substantial nature of the Adviser and its directors and officers is
provided in Registrant's Statement of Additional Information, and the Form ADV

Exhibit 5(b)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO ADVISORY AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT is made and entered into as of this 28th day of
February, 1996 by and between AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT SERIES FUND, INC., a
Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), and AID ASSOCIATION FOR LUTHERANS, a
Wisconsin corporation (the "Adviser").
WHEREAS, the Fund and the Adviser have entered into that certain
Advisory Agreement dated as of September 27, 1994 (the "Advisory Agreement");
and
WHEREAS, by its terms the Advisory Agreement will automatically
terminate on September 27, 1996, and the Fund and the Adviser desire to amend
Section 7(a) of the Advisory Agreement to extend the term for an additional two
years and to provide for its continuance thereafter from year to year, subject
to annual approval;
WHEREAS, the Advisory Agreement presently includes, among the factors
that the Adviser must demonstrate to the Fund to show the reasonableness of
brokerage commissions paid by the Fund, that the commissions paid provide
lawful and appropriate assistance to the Adviser in its decision-making
responsibilities, and the Adviser and the Fund believe this factor more
appropriately is a factor to be considered by the Adviser in selecting brokers,
and the Fund and the Adviser therefore desire to amend Section 4 of the
Advisory Agreement to achieve this objective;
WHEREAS, Paragraph 1 of Exhibit A to the Advisory Agreement contains
an errant cross-reference to "paragraph 5" of the Advisory Agreement, which
cross-reference should reference "Section 6" of the Advisory Agreement, and the
Fund and the Adviser desire to amend Exhibit A to the Advisory Agreement to
correct this cross reference.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that, subject to approval by
shareholders as described below, Section 4, Section 7(a), and Paragraph 1 of
Exhibit A to the Advisory Agreement shall be amended to read in their entirety
as follows:
4. BROKER-DEALER RELATIONSHIPS
In connection with its duties set forth in Section 2(a)(ii) of
this Agreement to arrange for the purchase and sale of securities and
other assets held by each Portfolio by placing purchase and sale
orders for the Portfolio, the ADVISER shall select such broker-dealers
("brokers") as shall, in the ADVISER's judgment, implement the policy
of the FUND to achieve "best execution," i.e., prompt and efficient
execution at the most favorable net price. In making such selection,
the ADVISER is authorized to consider the reliability, integrity and
financial condition of the broker. The ADVISER is also authorized to
consider whether the broker provides brokerage and/or research
services to the FUND and/or other accounts of the ADVISER, which
services are to provide lawful and appropriate assistance to the
ADVISER in the performance of its decision-making responsibilities.
The commissions paid to such brokers may be higher than another broker
would have charged if a good faith determination is made by the
ADVISER that the commission is reasonable in relation to the services
provided, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
ADVISER's overall responsibilities as to the accounts as to which it
exercises investment discretion. The ADVISER shall use its judgment
in determining that the amount of commissions paid are reasonable in
relation to the value of brokerage and/or research services provided
and need not place or attempt to place a specific dollar value on such
services or on the portion of commission rates reflecting such
services. To demonstrate that such determinations are in good faith,
and to show the overall reasonableness of commissions paid, the
ADVISER shall be prepared to show that commissions paid (i) were for
purposes contemplated by this Agreement;
<PAGE> 2
and (ii) were written a reasonable range as compared to the rates
charged by qualified brokers to other institutional investors as such
rates may become known from available information. The FUND
recognizes that, on any particular transaction, a higher than usual
commission may be paid due to the difficulty of the transaction in
question. The ADVISER is also authorized to consider as a factor in
the selection of brokers to execute brokerage and principal
transactions, subject to the requirements of "best execution," as
defined above, sales by brokers of variable annuity contracts
resulting in sales of FUND shares.
7. DURATION AND TERMINATION
(a) Unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided,
this Agreement shall continue in effect as to each Portfolio until
April 24, 1998 and thereafter from year to year, but only so long as
such continuance beyond such date is specifically approved at least
annually by the Fund's Board of Directors, including the vote of a
majority of the Directors who are not parties to this Agreement or
"interested persons" (as defined in the Act) of any such party, cast
in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval, or with respect to any Portfolio by the votes of a
"majority" (as defined in the Act) of the outstanding voting shares of
that Portfolio.
EXHIBIT A
I. THE AAL VARIABLE PRODUCT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
The management fee for this Portfolio, calculated in
accordance with Section 6 of The AAL Variable Product Series Fund,
Inc. Investment Advisory Agreement, shall be at the annual rate of
0.35 of 1% on the first $250 million of average daily net assets and
0.30 of 1% on average daily net assets over $250 million.
FURTHER AGREED that this Amendment shall not become effective as to
any Portfolio unless and until approved by "a majority of the outstanding
shares" of such Portfolio (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended) at a special meeting of shareholders of the Fund to be called and held
for that purpose at the direction of the Fund's Board of Directors.
FURTHER AGREED that, except as defined otherwise herein, capitalized
terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the
Advisory Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Advisory
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unaffected by this Amendment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this
Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the day and year
first written above.

SCHEDULES FOR COMPUTATIONS OF PERFORMANCE QUOTATIONS
Set out below are schedules showing computations for the performance
quotations of each portfolio ("Portfolio") of the AAL Variable Product Series
Fund, Inc. ("Fund") included in the statement of additional information
contained in Post-Effective Amendment No.2 to the Fund's Form N-1A registration
statement.
YIELD QUOTATION COMPUTATIONS
The 30-day (or one month) yield quotations for the Fund's Bond and
Balanced Portfolios are computed according to the following formula prescribed
by the SEC:
a-b 6
Yield = 2 [ (--- +1) -1 ]
cd
Where:
a = dividends and interest earned during the period
b = total expenses accrued for the period (net of
reimbursements).
c = average daily number of shares outstanding during the
period that were entitled to receive dividends
d = the maximum offering price per share on the last day of
the period.

TOTAL RETURN COMPUTATIONS
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
Standardized average annual total return quotations for each Portfolio
of the Fund are computed in accordance with the following formula prescribed by
the SEC:
n
P(1+T) = ERV
Where:
P = a hypothetical investment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
ERV = Ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods (or fractional portion
thereof).
2
<PAGE> 3
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
Cumulative total return performace quotations for each Portfolio are
calculated using the following formula:
T = ERV/P-1
Where:
P = a hypothetical investment of $1,000
T = cumulative total return
ERV = Ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods (or fractional
portion thereof).
----------------------------------
The table below shows the computations for the standardized average
annual total return for each Portfolio for the period from June 14, 1995
(commencement of operations) through December 31, 1995. The average annual
total returns for each Portfolio (other than the Money Market Portfolio) are
not annualized due to the fact that the time period being reported is less than
one year. Computations for the average annual total return of the Money Market
Portfolio are shown on an annualized and unannualized basis. Computations for
cumulative total return for each Portfolio would result in the same figures as
for average annual total return and are not shown.
