The Annuity Contract The fixed and variable annuity contract offered by
Jackson National provides a means for investing on
a tax-deferred basis in the guaranteed accounts of
Jackson National and the investment portfolios.
The contract is intended for retirement savings or
other long-term investment purposes and provides
for a death benefit and income options.
The contract has two phases: the accumulation
phase and the income phase. During the
accumulation phase, earnings accumulate on a
tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when
you make a withdrawal. The income phase occurs
when you begin receiving regular payments from
your contract. The amount of money you accumulate
in your contract during the accumulation phase
will determine the amount of income payments
during the income phase.
Investment Options You can put money into any of the guaranteed
accounts and/or the investment portfolios but you
may not put your money in more than eighteen of
the investment options during the life of your
contract.
The guaranteed accounts offer an interest rate
that is guaranteed by Jackson National. While your
money is in a guaranteed account, the interest
your money earns and your principal are guaranteed
by Jackson National.
The investment portfolios purchase shares of
series of a mutual fund. These series are
described in the attached JNL Series Trust
prospectus. The value of the investment portfolios
will vary in accordance with the investment
performance of the series. You bear the investment
risk under the contract for all amounts allocated
to the investment portfolios.
Expenses The contract has insurance features and investment
features, and there are costs related to each.
Jackson National makes a deduction for its
insurance charges which is equal to 1.40% of the
daily value of the contracts invested in the
investment portfolios. During the accumulation
phase, Jackson National deducts a $35 annual
contract maintenance charge from your contract.
If you take your money out of the contract,
Jackson National may assess a withdrawal charge.
The withdrawal charge starts at 7% in the first
year and declines 1% a year to 0% after 7 years.
Jackson National may assess a state premium tax
charge which ranges from 0-4%, depending upon the
state, when you begin receiving regular income
payments from your contract, when you make a
withdrawal or, in states where required, at the
time premium payments are made.
There are also investment charges which range from
.20% to 1.18% of the average daily value of the
series, depending on the series.
Purchases Under most circumstances, you can buy a contract
for $5,000 or more ($2,000 or more for a qualified
plan contract). You can add $500 ($50 under the
automatic payment plan) or more at any time during
the accumulation phase.
Access to Your Money You can take money out of your contract during the
accumulation phase. At any time during the
accumulation phase, you may withdraw premiums
which are not subject to a withdrawal charge
(premiums in your annuity for seven years or
longer and not previously withdrawn). Once every
year, you may withdraw the greater of earnings or
10% of premiums paid (not yet withdrawn).
Withdrawals in excess of that will be charged a
withdrawal charge. You may also have to pay income
tax and a tax penalty on any money you take out.
Income Payments If you want to receive regular income from your
annuity, you can choose one of four options:
(1) monthly payments for the annuitant's
life;
(2) monthly payments for the annuitant's
life and the life of another person
(usually the annuitant's spouse);
(3) monthly payments for the annuitant's
life, but with payments continuing to
you or your designated beneficiary for
10 or 20 years if the annuitant dies
before the end of the selected period;
and
(4) payments for a period of 5 to 30 years.
During the income phase, you have the same
investment choices you had during the accumulation
phase. You can choose to have payments come from
the guaranteed accounts, the investment portfolios
or both. If you choose to have any part of your
payments come from the investment portfolios, the
dollar amount of your payments may go up or down.
If you choose a variable income option, you may
make transfers between investment portfolios but
you may not make transfers in to or out of the
guaranteed accounts.
Death Benefit If you die before moving to the income phase, the
person you have chosen as your beneficiary will
receive a death benefit. The death benefit equals:
(1) current contract value; or
(2) the total premiums (less withdrawals,
withdrawal charges and premium taxes)
compounded at 5% (4% if you are age 70
or older at the date of issue); or
(3) the contract value at the end of the 7th
contract year PLUS all premiums made
since the 7th year (less withdrawals,
withdrawal charges and premium taxes)
compounded at 5% (4% if you are age 70
or older at the date of issue)
-- whichever is GREATEST.
The death benefit under (3) will never exceed 250%
of premiums paid, less partial withdrawals. The
death benefit under (2) and (3) is not available
in all states.
Free Look If you cancel your contract within twenty days
after receiving it (or whatever period is required
in your state), Jackson National will return the
amount your contract is worth on the day we
receive your request. This may be more or less
than your original payment. If required by law,
Jackson National will return your premium.
Taxes The Internal Revenue Code provides that you will
not be taxed on the earnings on the money held in
your contract until you take money out (this is
referred to as tax-deferral). There are different
rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how
you take the money out and the type of contract
you have (non-qualified or qualified).

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT
The fixed and variable annuity contract offered by Jackson National is a
contract between you, the owner, and Jackson National, an insurance company. The
contract provides a means for investing on a tax-deferred basis in guaranteed
accounts and investment portfolios. The contract is intended for retirement
savings or other long-term investment purposes and provides for a death benefit
and guaranteed income options.
The contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases: (1) the
accumulation phase, and (2) the income phase. During the accumulation phase,
earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you
make a withdrawal.
The contract offers guaranteed accounts. The guaranteed accounts offer an
interest rate that is guaranteed by Jackson National for the duration of the
guaranteed account period. While your money is in a guaranteed account, the
interest your money earns and your principal are guaranteed by Jackson National.
The value of a guaranteed account may be reduced if you make a withdrawal prior
to the end of the guaranteed account period, but will never be less than the
premium payments accumulated at 3% per year. If you choose to have your annuity
payments come from the guaranteed accounts, your payments will remain level
throughout the entire income phase.
The contract also offers investment portfolios. The investment portfolios are
designed to offer a higher return than the guaranteed accounts. However, this is
not guaranteed. It is possible for you to lose your money. If you put money in
the investment portfolios, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in
your contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of the
investment portfolios you select. The amount of the income payments you receive
during the income phase also will depend, in part, on the performance of the
investment portfolios you choose for the income phase.
As the owner, you can exercise all the rights under the contract. You and your
spouse can be joint owners. You can assign the contract at any time during your
lifetime but Jackson National will not be bound until we receive written notice
of the assignment.
THE COMPANY
Jackson National is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
the state of Michigan in June 1961. Its legal domicile and principal business
address is 5901 Executive Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48911. Jackson National is
admitted to conduct life insurance and annuity business in the District of
Columbia and all states except New York. Jackson National is ultimately a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Corporation plc (London, England).
THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNTS
If you select a guaranteed account, your money will be placed with Jackson
National's other assets. The guaranteed accounts are not registered with the SEC
and the SEC does not review the information we provide to you about the
guaranteed accounts. Your contract contains a more complete description of the
guaranteed accounts.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Jackson National Separate Account - I was established by Jackson National on
June 14, 1993, pursuant to the provisions of Michigan law, as a segregated asset
account of the company. The separate account meets the definition of a "separate
account" under the federal securities laws and is registered with the SEC as a
unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The assets of the separate account legally belong to Jackson National and the
obligations under the contracts are obligations of Jackson National. However,
the contract assets in the separate account are not chargeable with liabilities
arising out of any other business Jackson National may conduct. All of the
income, gains and losses resulting from these assets are credited to or charged
against the contracts and not against any other contracts Jackson National may
issue.
The separate account is divided into investment portfolios. Jackson National
does not guarantee the investment performance of the separate account or the
investment portfolios.

Depending on market conditions, you can make or lose money in any of the
investment portfolios. You should read the JNL Series Trust prospectus carefully
before investing. Additional investment portfolios may be available in the
future.
Voting Rights. To the extent required by law, Jackson National will obtain from
you and other owners of the contracts instructions as to how to vote when the
series solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders. When Jackson
National receives instructions, we will vote all the shares Jackson National
owns in proportion to those instructions.
Substitution. Jackson National may be required to substitute an investment
portfolio with another portfolio. We will not do this without the prior approval
of the SEC. Jackson National will give you notice of our intent to do this.
CONTRACT CHARGES
There are charges and other expenses associated with the contracts that reduce
the return on your investment in the contract. These charges may be a lesser
amount where required by state law or as described below, but will not be
increased. These charges and expenses are:
Insurance Charges. Each day Jackson National makes a deduction for its insurance
charges. We do this as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation
units and annuity units. On an annual basis, this charge equals 1.40% of the
daily value of the contracts invested in an investment portfolio, after expenses
have been deducted.
This charge is for the mortality risks, expense risks and administrative
expenses assumed by Jackson National. The mortality risks that Jackson National
assumes arise from our obligations under the contracts:
o to make income payments for the life of the annuitant during the income
phase;
o to waive the withdrawal charge in the event of your death; and o to provide
both a standard and an enhanced death benefit prior to the income date.
The expense risk that Jackson National assumes is the risk that our actual cost
of administering the contracts and the investment portfolios will exceed the
amount that we receive from the administration charge and the contract
maintenance charge.
Contract Maintenance Charge. During the accumulation phase, Jackson National
deducts a $35 ($30 in Washington) annual contract maintenance charge on each
anniversary of the date on which your contract was issued. If you make a
complete withdrawal from your contract, the contract maintenance charge will
also be deducted. This charge is for administrative expenses.
Jackson National will not deduct this charge, if when the deduction is to be
made, the value of your contract is $50,000 or more. Jackson National may
discontinue this practice at any time.
Transfer Fee. A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers in excess of 15 in a
contract year. Jackson National may waive the transfer fee in connection with
pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or may charge a lesser fee where
required by state law.
Withdrawal Charge. During the accumulation phase, you can make withdrawals from
your contract.
o At any time during the accumulation phase, you may withdraw premiums which
are not subject to a withdrawal charge (premiums in your annuity for seven
years or longer and not previously withdrawn).
o Once every year, you may withdraw the greater of earnings or 10% of
premiums paid (not yet withdrawn).
Withdrawals in excess of that will be charged a withdrawal charge starting at 7%
in the first year and declining 1% a year to 0% after 7 years. The withdrawal
charge compensates us for costs associated with selling the contracts.
For purposes of the withdrawal charge, Jackson National treats withdrawals as
coming from the oldest premium payment first. If you make a full withdrawal, the
withdrawal charge is based on premiums remaining in the contract. If you
withdraw only part of the value of your contract, we deduct the withdrawal
charge from the remaining value in your contract.
Note: For tax purposes, withdrawals are considered to have come from the
last money into the contract. Thus, for tax purposes, earnings are considered to
come out first.
Jackson National does not assess the withdrawal charge on any payments paid out
as (1) income payments after the first year, (2) death benefits, or (3)
withdrawals necessary to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code. Withdrawals for terminal illness or other specified
conditions as defined by Jackson National may not be subject to a withdrawal
charge. These provisions are not available in all states.
Jackson National may reduce or eliminate the amount of the withdrawal charge
when the contract is sold under circumstances which reduce its sales expense.
Some examples are: the purchase of a contract by a large group of individuals or
an existing relationship between Jackson National and a prospective purchaser.
Jackson National will not deduct a withdrawal charge under a contract issued to
an officer, director, agent or employee of Jackson National or any of its
affiliates.
Other Expenses. Jackson National pays the operating expenses of the Separate
Account.
There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the series.
These expenses are described in the attached JNL Series Trust prospectus.
Premium Taxes. Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes
or other similar taxes. Jackson National is responsible for the payment of these
taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the contract for them. Premium
taxes generally range from 0% to 4% depending on the state.
Income Taxes. Jackson National will make a deduction from the contract for any
income taxes which it incurs because of the contract. Currently, we are not
making any such deduction.
Distribution of Contracts. Jackson National Life Distributors, Inc., located at
10877 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1550, Los Angeles, California 90024, serves as
the distributor of the contracts. Jackson National Life Distributors, Inc. is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Jackson National.
Commissions will be paid to broker-dealers who sell the contracts. While
commissions may vary, they are not expected to exceed 8% of any premium payment.
Under certain circumstances, Jackson National may pay bonuses, overrides, and
marketing allowances, in addition to the standard commissions. Jackson National
may under certain circumstances where permitted by applicable law, pay a bonus
to a contract purchaser to the extent the broker-dealer waives its commission.
Jackson National may use any of its corporate assets to cover the cost of
distribution, including any profit from the contract insurance charges.
PURCHASES
Minimum Initial Premium:
o $5,000 under most circumstances
o $2,000 for a qualified plan contract.
The maximum we accept without our prior approval is $1 million.
Minimum Additional Premiums:
o $500
o $50 under the automatic payment plan
You can pay additional premiums at any time during the accumulation phase.
The minimum that you may allocate to a guaranteed account or investment
portfolio is $100. There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each
guaranteed account and investment portfolio.
When you purchase a contract, Jackson National will allocate your premium to one
or more of the guaranteed accounts and/or the investment portfolios you have
selected. Your allocations must be in whole percentages ranging from 0% to 100%.
Jackson National will allocate additional premiums in the same way unless you
tell us otherwise.
There may be more than eighteen investment options available under the contract;
however, you may not allocate your money to more than eighteen investment
options during the life of your contract.
Jackson National will issue your contract and allocate your first premium within
2 business days after we receive your complete application and first premium. If
your application is not complete, we will contact you to get the necessary
information. If for some reason Jackson National is unable to complete this
process within 5 business days, we will either return your money or get your
permission to keep it until we receive all of the necessary information.
The Jackson National business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange
closes, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Accumulation Units. The contract value allocated to the investment portfolios
will go up or down depending on the performance of the portfolios. In order to
keep track of the value of your contract, Jackson National uses a unit of
measure called an accumulation unit. (An accumulation unit is similar to a share
of a mutual fund.)
During the income phase it is called an annuity unit.
Every business day Jackson National determines the value of an accumulation unit
for each of the investment portfolios. This is done by:
1. determining the total amount of money invested in the particular
investment portfolio;
2. subtracting any insurance charges;
3. dividing this amount by the number of outstanding accumulation units.
The value of an accumulation unit may go up or down from day to day.
When you make a premium payment, Jackson National credits your contract with
accumulation units. The number of accumulation units credited is determined at
the close of Jackson National's business day by dividing the amount of the
premium allocated to any investment portfolio by the value of the accumulation
unit for that investment portfolio.
TRANSFERS
You can transfer money between guaranteed accounts and investment portfolios
during the accumulation phase. During the income phase, you can transfer money
between investment portfolios.
You can make 15 transfers every year during the accumulation phase without
charge. The minimum amount that you can transfer is $100 (unless the transfer is
made under a pre-authorized automatic transfer program). If the remaining value
in a guaranteed account or investment portfolio would be less than $100 after a
transfer, you must transfer the entire value or you may not make the transfer.
Telephone Transactions. You may make transfers by telephone, unless you elect on
your application not to have this privilege. When authorizing a transfer, you
must complete your telephone call by the close of Jackson National's business
day (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) in order to receive that day's accumulation
unit value for an investment portfolio.
Jackson National has procedures which are designed to provide reasonable
assurance that telephone authorizations are genuine. Our procedures include
requesting identifying information and tape recording telephone communications.
Jackson National and its affiliates disclaim all liability for any claim, loss
or expense resulting from any alleged error or mistake in connection with a
telephone transfer which was not properly authorized by you. However, if Jackson
National fails to employ reasonable procedures to ensure that all telephone
transfers are properly authorized, we may be held liable for such losses.
Jackson National reserves the right to modify or discontinue at any time and
without notice the acceptance of instructions from someone other than you and/or
the telephone transfer privilege.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
You can have access to the money in your contract:
o by making either a partial or complete withdrawal, or
o by electing to receive income payments.
Your beneficiary can have access to the money in your contract when a death
benefit is paid.
When you make a complete withdrawal you will receive:
1. the value of the contract on the day you made the withdrawal;
2. less any premium tax;
3. less any contract maintenance charge; and
4. less any withdrawal charge.
Except in connection with the systematic withdrawal program, you must withdraw
at least $500 or, if less, the entire amount in the guaranteed account or
investment portfolio from which you are making the withdrawal. After your
withdrawal, you must have at least $100 left in the guaranteed account or
investment portfolio.
Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any withdrawal
you make.
There are limitations on withdrawals from a qualified plan referred to as a
403(b) annuity. See "Taxes."
Systematic Withdrawal Program. You can arrange to have money automatically sent
to you periodically while your contract is still in the accumulation phase. You
will have to pay taxes on money you receive and withdrawals you make before you
reach 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% tax penalty.
We reserve the right to charge a fee for participation or to discontinue
offering this program in the future.
Suspension of Withdrawals or Transfers. Jackson National may be required to
suspend or delay withdrawals or transfers from an investment portfolio when:
o the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
o trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
o an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of
shares of the investment portfolios or determine investment portfolio
values;
o the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of owners.
Jackson National has reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or
transfer from the guaranteed accounts for the period permitted by law, but not
more than six months.
INCOME PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)
The income phase occurs when you begin receiving regular payments from your
contract. The income date is the month and year in which those payments begin.
The income date must be at least one year after your contract is issued. You can
choose the income date and an income option. The income options are described
below.
If you do not choose an income option, we will assume that you selected Option 3
which provides a life annuity with 120 months of guaranteed payments.
You can change the income date or income option at any time before the income
date. You must give us 7 days notice. Income payments must begin by your 90th
birthday under a non-qualified contract (or an earlier date under a qualified
contract if required by law).
At the income date, you can choose whether payments will come from the
guaranteed accounts, the investment portfolios or both. Unless you tell us
otherwise, your income payments will be based on the investment allocations that
were in place on the income date.
You can choose to have income payments made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually,
or annually. However, if you have less than $5,000 to apply toward an income
option and state law permits, Jackson National may provide your payment in a
single lump sum. Likewise, if your first income payment would be less than $50
and state law permits, Jackson National may set the frequency of payments so
that the first payment would be at least $50.
Income Payments from Investment Portfolios. If you choose to have any portion of
your income payments come from the investment portfolio(s), the dollar amount of
your payment will depend upon three things:
1. the value of your contract in the investment portfolio(s) on the
income date;
2. the 3% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the
contract; and
3. the performance of the investment portfolios you selected.
Jackson National calculates the dollar amount of the first income payment that
you receive from the investment portfolios. We then use that amount to determine
the number of annuity units that you hold in each investment portfolio. The
amount of each subsequent income payment is determined by multiplying the number
of annuity units that you hold in an investment portfolio by the annuity unit
value for that investment portfolio.
The number of annuity units that you hold in each investment portfolio does not
change unless you reallocate your contract value among the investment
portfolios. The annuity unit value of each investment portfolio will vary based
on the investment performance of the series. If the actual investment
performance exactly matches the assumed rate at all times, the amount of each
income payment will remain equal. If the actual investment performance exceeds
the assumed rate, your income payments will increase. Similarly, if the actual
investment performance is less than the assumed rate, your income payments will
decrease.
Income Options. The annuitant is the person whose life we look to when we make
income payments. (Each description assumes that you are the owner and
annuitant.) The following income options may not be available in all states.
Option 1 - Life Income. This income option provides monthly payments for
your life.
Option 2 - Joint and Survivor Annuity. This income option provides monthly
payments for your life and for the life of another person (usually your spouse)
selected by you.
Option 3 - Life Annuity With 120 or 240 Monthly Payments Guaranteed. This
income option provides monthly payments for your life, but with payments
continuing to your beneficiary for the remainder of 10 or 20 years (as you
select) if you die before the end of the selected period.
Option 4 - Income for a Specified Period. This income option provides
monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30.
Additional Options - Other income options may be made available by Jackson
National.
If you choose Option 1, 2 or 3, you cannot make a withdrawal during the income
phase.
DEATH BENEFIT
Death of Owner Before the Income Date. If you die before moving to the income
phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death
benefit. If you have a joint owner, the death benefit will be paid when the
first joint owner dies. Joint owners must be spouses (unless otherwise permitted
by state law). The surviving joint owner will be treated as the beneficiary. Any
other beneficiary designated will be treated as a contingent beneficiary.
The death benefit equals:
1. current contract value; or
2. the total premiums (less withdrawals, withdrawal charges and premium
taxes) compounded at 5%*; or
3. the contract value at the end of the 7th contract year PLUS all
premiums made since the 7th year (less withdrawals, withdrawal charges
and premium taxes) compounded at 5%*
- -- whichever is GREATEST.
The death benefit under 3 will never exceed 250% of premiums paid, less partial
withdrawals. The death benefit under 2 and 3 may not be available in all states.
The entire death benefit must be paid within 5 years of the date of death unless
the beneficiary elects to have the death benefit payable under an income option.
The death benefit payable under an income option must be paid over the
beneficiary's lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the beneficiary's
life expectancy. Payments must begin within one year of the date of death.
Unless the beneficiary chooses to receive the death benefit in a single sum, the
beneficiary must elect an income option within the 60 day period beginning with
the date Jackson National receives proof of death. If the beneficiary chooses to
receive the death benefit in a single sum and all the necessary requirements are
met, Jackson National will pay the death benefit within 7 days. If the
beneficiary is your spouse, he/she can continue the contract in his/her own name
at the then current contract value.
Death of Owner After the Income Date. If you or a joint owner die after moving
to the income phase, any remaining payments under the income option elected will
continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at
the date of death. If you die, the beneficiary becomes the owner. If the joint
owner dies, the surviving joint owner, if any, will be the designated
beneficiary. Any other beneficiary designation on record at the time of death
will be treated as a contingent beneficiary. A contingent beneficiary is
entitled to receive payment only after the beneficiary dies.
Death of Annuitant. If the annuitant is not an owner or joint owner and the
annuitant dies before the income date, you can name a new annuitant. If you do
not name a new annuitant within 30 days of the death of the annuitant, you will
become the annuitant. However, if the owner is a non-natural person (for
example, a corporation), then the death of the annuitant will be treated as the
death of the owner, and a new annuitant may not be named.
If the annuitant dies after the income date, the death benefit, if any, will be
as provided for in the income option selected. Death benefits will be paid at
least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
annuitant's death.

TAXES
The following is general information and is not intended as tax advice to any
individual. You should consult your own tax adviser.
The Internal Revenue Code (Code) provides that you will not be taxed on the
earnings on the money held in your contract until you take money out (this is
referred to as tax deferral). There are different rules as to how you will be
taxed depending on how you take the money out and the type of contract you have
(non-qualified or qualified).
Non-Qualified Contracts - General Taxation. You will not be taxed on increases
in the value of your contract until a distribution (either as a withdrawal or as
an income payment) occurs. When you make a withdrawal you are taxed on the
amount of the withdrawal that is earnings. For income payments, a portion of
each income payment is treated as a partial return of your premium and will not
be taxed. The remaining portion of the income payment will be treated as
ordinary income. How the income payment is divided between taxable and
non-taxable portions depends on the period over which income payments are
expected to be made. Income payments received after you have received all of
your premium are treated as income.
If a non-qualified contract is owned by a non-natural person (e.g., corporation
or certain other entities other than tax-qualified trusts), the contract will
generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes.
Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts. If you purchase the contract as an
individual and not under any pension plan, specially sponsored program or an
individual retirement annuity, your contract is referred to as a non-qualified
contract.
If you purchase the contract under a pension plan, specially sponsored program,
or an individual retirement annuity, your contract is referred to as a qualified
contract. Examples of qualified plans are: Individual Retirement Annuities
(IRAs), Tax-Sheltered Annuities (sometimes referred to as 403(b) contracts),
H.R. 10 Plans (sometimes referred to as Keogh Plans), and pension and
profit-sharing plans, which include 401(k) plans.
Withdrawals - Non-Qualified Contracts. If you make a withdrawal from your
contract, the Code treats the withdrawal as first coming from earnings and then
from your premium payments. Withdrawn earnings are includible in income.
The Code also provides that any amount received under an annuity contract which
is included in income may be subject to a 10% penalty. Some withdrawals will be
exempt from the penalty. They include any amounts: (1) paid on or after the
taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2; (2) paid after you die; (3) paid if the taxpayer
becomes totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4) paid in a
series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) under
a lifetime annuity; (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from
premiums made prior to August 14, 1982.
Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts. There are special rules that govern qualified
contracts. We have provided additional discussion in the Statement of Additional
Information.
Withdrawals - Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The Code limits the withdrawal of
premiums from certain Tax-Sheltered Annuities. Withdrawals can only be made when
an owner: (1) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) leaves his/her job; (3) dies; (4) becomes
disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); or (5) in the case of hardship.
However, in the case of hardship, the owner can only withdraw the premium and
not any earnings.
Withdrawals - Roth IRAs. Beginning in 1998, individuals may purchase a new type
of non-deductible IRA, known as a Roth IRA. Qualified distributions from Roth
IRAs are entirely tax free. A qualified distribution requires that the
individual has held the Roth IRA for at least five years and, in addition, that
the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on
account of the individual's death or disability, or as qualified first-time home
purchase, subject to $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, or for a
spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor.
Withdrawals - Investment Adviser Fees. The Internal Revenue Service has, through
a series of Private Letter Rulings, held that the payment of investment adviser
fees from an IRA or a Tax-Sheltered Annuity is permissible under certain
circumstances and will not be considered a distribution for income tax purposes.
The Rulings require that in order to receive this favorable tax treatment, the
annuity contract must, under a written agreement, be solely liable (not jointly
with the contract owner) for payment of the adviser's fee and the fee must
actually be paid from the annuity contract to the adviser. Withdrawals from
non-qualified contracts for the payment of investment adviser fees will be
considered distributions from the contract.
Restrictions Under the Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP). Contracts issued
to participants in ORP contain restrictions required under the Texas
Administrative Code. In accordance with those restrictions, a participant in ORP
will not be permitted to make withdrawals prior to such participant's
retirement, death, attainment of age 70 1/2 year or termination of employment in
a Texas public institution of higher education. The restrictions on withdrawal
do not apply in the event a participant in ORP transfers the contract value to
another approved contract or vendor during the period of ORP participation.
Assignment. An assignment may be a taxable event. If the contract is issued
pursuant to a qualified plan, there may be limitations on your ability to assign
the contract.
Diversification. The Code provides that the underlying investments for a
variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to
be treated as an annuity contract. Jackson National believes that the underlying
investments are being managed so as to comply with these requirements.
Neither the Code nor the Internal Revenue Service Regulations issued to date
provide guidance as to the circumstances under which you, because of the degree
of control you exercise over the underlying investments, and not Jackson
National would be considered the owner of the shares of the investment
portfolios. If this occurs, it will result in the loss of the favorable tax
treatment for the contract.
It is unknown to what extent owners are permitted to select investment
portfolios, to make transfers among the investment portfolios or the number and
type of investment portfolios from which owners may select. If any guidance is
provided which is considered a new position, then the guidance would generally
be applied prospectively. However, if such guidance is considered not to be a
new position, it may be applied retroactively. This would mean that you, as the
owner of the contract, could be treated as the owner of the investment
portfolios. Due to the uncertainty in this area, Jackson National reserves the
right to modify the contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
OTHER INFORMATION
Dollar Cost Averaging. You can arrange to automatically have a regular amount of
money periodically transferred into the investment portfolios. This
theoretically gives you a lower average cost per unit over time than you would
receive if you made a one time purchase.
To participate in this program, you must have a total contract value of at least
$15,000 (unless we waive this requirement). Certain other restrictions may
apply.
Jackson National does not currently charge for participation in this program. We
may do so in the future.
Rebalancing. You can arrange to have Jackson National automatically reallocate
money between investment portfolios periodically to keep the blend you select.
Jackson National does not currently charge for participation in this program. We
may do so in the future.
Free Look. If you cancel the contract within twenty days after receiving it (or
whatever period is required in your state), Jackson National will return the
amount your contract is worth on the day we receive your request. This may be
more or less than your original payment. If required by law, Jackson National
will return your premium.
Advertising. From time to time, Jackson National may advertise several types of
performance for the investment portfolios.
o Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an
investment portfolio over a given period of time.
o Standardized average annual total return is calculated in accordance with
SEC guidelines.
o Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required
or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return. For
example, if a series has been in existence longer than the investment
portfolio, we may show non-standardized performance for periods that begin
on the inception date of the series, rather than the inception date of the
investment portfolio.
o Yield refers to the income generated by an investment over a given period
of time.
Performance will be calculated by determining the percentage change in the value
of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the
value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period. Performance will
reflect the deduction of the insurance charges and may reflect the deduction of
the contract maintenance charge and withdrawal charge. The deduction of the
contract maintenance and/or the withdrawal charge would reduce the percentage
increase or make greater any percentage decrease.
Market Timing and Asset Allocation Services. Market timing and asset allocation
services offered by third parties must comply with Jackson National's
administrative systems, rules and procedures.
Modification of the Contract. Only the President, Vice President, Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of Jackson National may approve a change to or waive a
provision of the contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. Jackson
National may change the terms of the contract in order to comply with changes in
applicable law, or otherwise as deemed necessary by Jackson National.
Year 2000 Matters. Jackson National initiated a project in 1993 to review and
analyze its computer systems to determine if they are Year 2000 compatible. This
project includes a written plan which provides for a process which ensures that
when a particular system, or software application, is determined to be
"non-compliant" the proper steps are in place to either remedy the
"non-compliance" or cease using the particular system or software.
Jackson National's plan provides for an inventory of all critical computer
systems, testing of such systems and resolution of Year 2000 issues. Jackson
National anticipates that all compliance issues will be resolved by December 31,
1999.
As of the date of this Prospectus, Jackson National has identified and made
available what it believes are the appropriate resources of hardware, people,
and dollars to ensure that the plan will be completed.
Jackson National will not conclusively know the success of its plan until the
Year 2000. Even with appropriate and diligent pursuit of a well-conceived
response plan, including testing procedures, there is no certainty that any
company will achieve complete success. Further, Jackson National's ability to
function unaffected to and through the Year 2000 may be adversely affected by
actions (or inactions) of third parties beyond its knowledge or control.
Legal Proceedings. There are no material legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to the business, to which Jackson National Life
Insurance Company, Jackson National Life Distributors, Inc., and the Jackson
National Separate Account - I are parties.

<PAGE>
Calculation of Performance
When Jackson National advertises performance for an investment portfolio
(except the PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio), we will include quotations
of standardized average annual total return to facilitate comparison with
standardized average annual total return advertised by other variable annuity
separate accounts. Standardized average annual total return for an investment
portfolio will be shown for periods beginning on the date the investment
portfolio first invested in the corresponding series. We will calculate
standardized average annual total return according to the standard methods
prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Standardized average annual total return for a specific period is
calculated by taking a hypothetical $1,000 investment in an investment portfolio
at the offering on the first day of the period ("initial investment"), and
computing the ending redeemable value ("redeemable value") of that investment at
the end of the period. The redeemable value is then divided by the initial
investment and expressed as a percentage, carried to at least the nearest
hundredth of a percent. Standardized average annual total return is annualized
and reflects the deduction of the insurance charges and the contract maintenance
charge. The redeemable value also reflects the effect of any applicable
withdrawal charge that may be imposed at the end of the period. No deduction is
made for premium taxes which may be assessed by certain states.
The standardized average annual total returns for each investment portfolio
(except the PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio) for the periods indicated
are as follows:

Jackson National may also advertise non-standardized total return.
Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required to be
presented or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return.
Because the contract is designed for long term investment, non-standardized
total return that does not reflect the deduction of any applicable withdrawal
charge may be advertised. Reflecting the deduction of the withdrawal charge
decreases the level of performance advertised. Non-standardized total return may
also assume a larger initial investment which more closely approximates the size
of a typical contract.
The non-standardized total returns that each investment portfolio (except
the PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio) would have achieved if it had been
invested in the corresponding series for the periods indicated, calculated in a
manner similar to standardized average annual total return but assuming a
hypothetical initial investment of $10,000 and without deducting the contract
maintenance charge or the withdrawal charge, are as follows: (NOTE: The figures
below present investment performance information for the periods ended June 30,
1998. While these numbers represent the returns as of that date, they do not
represent performance information of the portfolios since that date. Performance
information for periods after June 30, 1998 may be significantly different
(lower) than the numbers shown below.)

Prior to May 1, 1997, the PPM America/JNL Balanced Portfolio was the
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced Portfolio and the corresponding series
was sub-advised by Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc., the JNL/Putnam Growth
Portfolio was the JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Portfolio and the
corresponding series was sub-advised by Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc., and

Standardized average annual total return quotations will be current to the
last day of the calendar quarter preceding the date on which an advertisement is
submitted for publication. Both standardized average annual total return
quotations and non-standardized total return quotations will be based on rolling
calendar quarters and will cover at least periods of one, five, and ten years,
or a period covering the time the investment portfolio has been in existence, if
it has not been in existence for one of the prescribed periods. If the
corresponding series has been in existence for longer than the investment
portfolio, the non-standardized total return quotations will show the investment
performance the investment portfolio would have achieved (reduced by the
applicable charges) had it been held in the series for the period quoted.
Standardized average annual total return is not available for periods before the
investment portfolio was in existence.
Quotations of standardized average annual total return and non-standardized
total return are based upon historical earnings and will fluctuate. Any
quotation of performance should not be considered a guarantee of future
performance. Factors affecting the performance of a series include general
market conditions, operating expenses and investment management. An owner's
withdrawal value upon surrender of a contract may be more or less than original
cost.
Jackson National may advertise the current annualized yield for a 30-day
period for an investment portfolio. The annualized yield of an investment
portfolio refers to the income generated by the investment portfolio over a
specified 30-day period. Because this yield is annualized, the yield generated
by an investment portfolio during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated
each 30-day period. The yield is computed by dividing the net investment income
per accumulation unit earned during the period by the price per unit on the last
day of the period, according to the following formula:
a-b 6
YIELD = 2[(---+1) -1]
cd
Where:
a = net investment income earned during the
period by the series attributable to shares
owned by the investment portfolio.
b = expenses for the investment portfolio
accrued for the period (net of
reimbursements).
c = the average daily number of accumulation
units outstanding during the period.
d = the maximum offering price per
accumulation unit on the last day of the
period.
Net investment income will be determined in accordance with rules
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accrued expenses will
include all recurring fees that are charged to all contracts.
The yield for the 30-day period ended June 30, 1998 for each of the
referenced investment portfolios is as follows:
PPM America/JNL Balanced Portfolio 1.35%
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Portfolio 6.99%
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Portfolio 5.97%
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Portfolio 4.42%
Prior to May 1, 1997, the PPM America/JNL Balanced Portfolio was the
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced Portfolio and the corresponding series
was sub-advised by Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc.
Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the Separate Account, the
yield for an investment portfolio will be lower than the yield for the
corresponding series. The yield on amounts held in the investment portfolios
normally will fluctuate over time. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given
period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of
return. An investment portfolio's actual yield will be affected by the types and
quality of portfolio securities held by the series and the series operating
expenses.
Any current yield quotations of the PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio,
subject to Rule 482 of the Securities Act of 1933, will consist of a seven
calendar day historical yield, carried at least to the nearest hundredth of a
percent. We may advertise yield for the Portfolio based on different time
periods, but we will accompany it with a yield quotation based on a seven day
calendar period. The PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's yield will be
calculated by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the
value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one
accumulation unit at the beginning of the base period, subtracting a
hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from contracts, and dividing the net
change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the
period to obtain a base period return and multiplying the base period return by
(365/7). The PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's effective yield is
computed similarly but includes the effect of assumed compounding on an
annualized basis of the current yield quotations of the Portfolio. The PPM
America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's yield and effective yield for the seven day
period ended June 30, 1998 were 3.47% and 3.53%, respectively.
The PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's yield and effective yield will
fluctuate daily. Actual yields will depend on factors such as the type of
instruments in the series' portfolio, portfolio quality and average maturity,
changes in interest rates, and the series' expenses. Although the investment
portfolio determines its yield on the basis of a seven calendar day period, it
may use a different time period on occasion. The yield quotes may reflect the
expense limitations described in the series' Prospectus or Statement of
Additional Information. There is no assurance that the yields quoted on any
given occasion will be maintained for any period of time and there is no
guarantee that the net asset values will remain constant. It should be noted
that neither a contract owner's investment in the PPM America/JNL Money Market
Portfolio nor that Portfolio's investment in the PPM America/JNL Money Market
Series, is guaranteed or insured. Yields of other money market funds may not be
comparable if a different base or another method of calculation is used.
Additional Tax Information
NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE ADVICE
OF A PERSONAL TAX ADVISER. JACKSON NATIONAL DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE
REGARDING THE TAX STATUS OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE
CONTRACTS. PURCHASERS BEAR THE COMPLETE RISK THAT THE CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE
TREATED AS "ANNUITY CONTRACTS" UNDER FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS. IT SHOULD BE
FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND THAT
SPECIAL RULES NOT DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS MAY BE APPLICABLE IN CERTAIN
SITUATIONS. MOREOVER, NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE
OR OTHER TAX LAWS.
General
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
governs taxation of annuities in general. An individual owner is not taxed on
increases in the value of a contract until distribution occurs, either in the
form of a withdrawal or as annuity payments under the annuity option elected.
For a withdrawal received as a total surrender (total redemption or a death
benefit), the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the
cost basis of the contract. For a payment received as a partial withdrawal,
federal tax liability is determined on a last-in, first-out basis, meaning
taxable income is withdrawn before the cost basis of the contract is withdrawn.
For contracts issued in connection with non-qualified plans, the cost basis is
generally the premiums, while for contracts issued in connection with qualified
plans there may be no cost basis. The taxable portion of a withdrawal is taxed
at ordinary income tax rates. Tax penalties may also apply.
For annuity payments, a portion of each payment in excess of an exclusion
amount is includable in taxable income. The exclusion amount for payments based
on a fixed annuity option is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio
that the cost basis of the contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund
feature) bears to the expected return under the contract. The exclusion amount
for payments based on a variable annuity option is determined by dividing the
cost basis of the contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee)
by the number of years over which the annuity is expected to be paid. Payments
received after the investment in the contract has been recovered (i.e. when the
total of the excludable amounts equals the investment in the contract) are fully
taxable. The taxable portion is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. For certain
types of qualified plans there may be no cost basis in the contract within the
meaning of Section 72 of the Code. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries under
the contracts should seek competent financial advice about the tax consequences
of distributions.
Jackson National is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For
federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from
Jackson National and its operations form a part of Jackson National.
Withholding Tax on Distributions
The Code generally requires Jackson National (or, in some cases, a plan
administrator) to withhold tax on the taxable portion of any distribution or
withdrawal from a contract. For "eligible rollover distributions" from contracts
issued under certain types of qualified plans, 20% of the distribution must be
withheld, unless the payee elects to have the distribution "rolled over" to
another eligible plan in a direct transfer. This requirement is mandatory and
cannot be waived by the owner.
An "eligible rollover distribution" is the estimated taxable portion of any
amount received by a covered employee from a plan qualified under Section 401(a)
or 403(a) of the Code, or from a tax sheltered annuity qualified under Section
403(b) of the Code (other than (1) a series of substantially equal annuity
payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee, or joint lives (or
joint life expectancies) of the employee, and his or her designated beneficiary,
or for a specified period of ten years or more; and (2) minimum distributions
required to be made under the Code). Failure to "rollover" the entire amount of
an eligible rollover distribution (including an amount equal to the 20% portion
of the distribution that was withheld) could have adverse tax consequences,
including the imposition of a penalty tax on premature withdrawals, described
later in this section.
Withdrawals or distributions from a contract other than eligible rollover
distributions are also subject to withholding on the estimated taxable portion
of the distribution, but the owner may elect in such cases to waive the
withholding requirement. If not waived, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic
payments, at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, or (2)
for other distributions, at the rate of 10%. If no withholding exemption
certificate is in effect for the payee, the rate under (1) above is computed by
treating the payee as a married individual claiming 3 withholding exemptions.
Generally, the amount of any payment of interest to a non-resident alien of
the United States shall be subject to withholding of a tax equal to thirty (30%)
percent of such amount or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate. A payment may not
be subject to withholding where the recipient sufficiently establishes that such
payment is effectively connected to the recipient's conduct of a trade or
business in the United States and such payment is included in recipient's gross
income.
Diversification -- Separate Account Investments
Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on the
underlying assets of variable annuity contracts. The Code provides that a
variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for any
period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments are not adequately
diversified, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States
Treasury Department ("Treasury Department"). Disqualification of the contract as
an annuity contract would result in imposition of federal income tax to the
owner with respect to earnings allocable to the contract prior to the receipt of
payments under the contract. The Code contains a safe harbor provision which
provides that annuity contracts such as the contracts meet the diversification
requirements if, as of the close of each calendar quarter, the underlying assets
meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company, and no
more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government
securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.
The Treasury Department has issued Regulations establishing diversification
requirements for the investment portfolios underlying variable contracts. The
Regulations amplify the diversification requirements for variable contracts set
forth in the Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision
described above. Under the Regulations, an investment portfolio will be deemed
adequately diversified if (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets
of the portfolio is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of
the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any two
investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the
portfolio is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of
the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any four
investments.
Jackson National intends that each series of the JNL Series Trust will be
managed by its respective investment adviser in such a manner as to comply with
these diversification requirements.
The Treasury Department has indicated that the diversification Regulations
do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which contract owner
control of the investments of the Separate Account will cause the contract owner
to be treated as the owner of the assets of the Separate Account, thereby
resulting in the loss of favorable tax treatment of the contract. At this time
it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided and what
standards may be contained in such guidance.
The amount of owner control which may be exercised under the contract is
different in some respects from the situations addressed in published rulings
issued by the Internal Revenue Service in which it was held that the policy
owner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account. It is unknown
whether these differences, such as the owner's ability to transfer among
investment choices or the number and type of investment choices available, would
cause the owner to be considered as the owner of the assets of the Separate
Account resulting in the imposition of federal income tax to the owner with
respect to earnings allocable to the contract prior to receipt of payments under
the contract.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set forth
a new position, such guidance or ruling will generally be applied only
prospectively. However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set
forth a new position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the owner
being retroactively determined to be the owner of the assets of the Separate
Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, Jackson National reserves the right to
modify the contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
Multiple Contracts
The Code provides that multiple annuity contracts which are issued within a
calendar year to the same contract owner by one company or its affiliates are
treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the tax consequences
of any distribution. Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences
including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such multiple
contracts. Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more than one
annuity contract in any calendar year.
Contracts Owned by Other than Natural Persons
Under Section 72(u) of the Code, the investment earnings on premiums for
contracts will be taxed currently to the owner if the owner is a non-natural
person, e.g., a corporation or certain other entities. Such contracts generally
will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes. However, this
treatment is not applied to contracts held by a trust or other entity as an
agent for a natural person nor to contracts held by certain qualified plans.
Purchasers should consult their own tax counsel or other tax adviser before
purchasing a contract to be owned by a non-natural person.
Tax Treatment of Assignments
An assignment or pledge of a contract may have tax consequences, and may
also be prohibited by ERISA in some circumstances. Owners should, therefore,
consult competent legal advisers should they wish to assign or pledge their
contracts.
Qualified Plans
The contracts offered by the Prospectus are designed to be suitable for use
under various types of qualified plans. Taxation of owners in each qualified
plan varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific
plan. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a
qualified plan may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan,
regardless of the terms and conditions of the contracts issued to fund the plan.
Tax Treatment of Withdrawals
Non-Qualified Plans
Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions from annuity
contracts. It provides that if the contract value exceeds the aggregate Premiums
made, any amount withdrawn not in the form of an annuity payment will be treated
as coming first from the earnings and then, only after the income portion is
exhausted, as coming from the principal. Withdrawn earnings are included in a
taxpayer's gross income. Section 72 further provides that a 10% penalty will
apply to the income portion of any distribution. The penalty is not imposed on
amounts received: (1) after the taxpayer reaches 59 1/2; (2) upon the death of
the owner; (3) if the taxpayer is totally disabled as defined in Section
72(m)(7) of the Code; (4) in a series of substantially equal periodic payments
made at least annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or for
the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his
beneficiary; (5) under an immediate annuity; or (6) which are allocable to
premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.
Qualified Plans
In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified contract, a ratable portion
of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the
individual's cost basis to the individual's total accrued benefit under the
retirement plan. Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions
from a qualified contract. Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax
on the taxable portion of any distribution from qualified retirement plans,
including contracts issued and qualified under Code Sections 401 (H.R. 10 and
Corporate Pension and Profit Sharing plans), 403(b) (tax-sheltered annuities)
and 408 and 408A (IRAs). To the extent amounts are not included in gross income
because they have been rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible qualified
plan, no tax penalty will be imposed.
The tax penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (1) if
distribution is made on or after the date on which the owner or annuitant (as
applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) distributions following the death or
disability of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose
"disability" is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (3) after separation
from service, distributions that are part of substantially equal periodic
payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life
expectancy) of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) or the joint lives (or
joint life expectancies) of such owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or
her designated beneficiary; (4) distributions to an owner or annuitant (as
applicable) who has separated from service after he has attained age 55; (5)
distributions made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such
distributions do not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction under Code
Section 213 to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during
the taxable year for medical care; (6) distributions made to an alternate payee
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (7) distributions from an IRA
for the purchase of medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of
the Code) for the contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or her
spouse and dependents if the contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has
received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks (this exception will no
longer apply after the contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has been
re-employed for at least 60 days); (8) distributions from an Individual
Retirement Annuity made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent
such distributions do not exceed the qualified higher education expenses (as
defined in Section 72(t)(7) of the Code) of the owner or annuitant (as
applicable) for the taxable year; and (9) distributions from an Individual
Retirement Annuity made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) which are
qualified first time home buyer distributions (as defined in Section 72(t)(8) of
the Code). The exception stated in items (4) and (6) above do not apply in the
case of an IRA. The exception stated in (3) above applies to an IRA without the
requirement that there be a separation from service.
Withdrawals of amounts attributable to contributions made pursuant to a
salary reduction agreement (in accordance with Section 403(b)(11) of the Code)
are limited to the following: when the owner attains age 59 1/2, separates from
services, dies, becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the
Code), or in the case of hardship. Hardship withdrawals do not include any
earnings on salary reduction contributions. These limitations on withdrawals
apply to: (1) salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988; (2)
income attributable to such contributions; and (3) income attributable to
amounts held as of December 31, 1988. The limitations on withdrawals do not
affect rollovers or exchanges between certain qualified plans. Tax penalties may
also apply. While the foregoing limitations only apply to certain contracts
issued in connection with Section 403(b) qualified plans, all owners should seek
competent tax advice regarding any withdrawals or distributions.
The taxable portion of a withdrawal or distribution from contracts issued
under certain types of plans may, under some circumstances, be "rolled over"
into another eligible plan so as to continue to defer income tax on the taxable
portion. Effective January 1, 1993, such treatment is available for an "eligible
rollover distribution" made by certain types of plans (as described above under
"Taxes -- Withholding Tax on Distributions") that is transferred within 60 days
of receipt into another eligible plan or an IRA, or an individual retirement
account described in section 408(a) of the Code. Plans making such eligible
rollover distributions are also required, with some exceptions specified in the
Code, to provide for a direct transfer of the distribution to the transferee
plan designated by the recipient.
Amounts received from IRAs may also be rolled over into other IRAs,
individual retirement accounts or certain other plans, subject to limitations
set forth in the Code.
Generally, distributions from a qualified plan must commence no later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the employee attains
the later of age 70 1/2 or the date of retirement. In the case of an IRA,
distribution must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following
the year in which the owner attains age 70 1/2. Required distributions must be
over a period not exceeding the life or life expectancy of the individual or the
joint lives or life expectancies of the individual and his or her designated
beneficiary. If the required minimum distributions are not made, a 50% penalty
tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed.
Types of Qualified Plans
The following are general descriptions of the types of qualified plans with
which the contracts may be used. Such descriptions are not exhaustive and are
for general information purposes only. The tax rules regarding qualified plans
are very complex and will have differing applications depending on individual
facts and circumstances. Each purchaser should obtain competent tax advice prior
to purchasing a contract issued under a qualified plan.
Contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans include special provisions
restricting contract provisions that may otherwise be available and described in
this Prospectus. Generally, contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans are not
transferable except upon surrender or annuitization. Various penalty and excise
taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of
applicable limitations. Furthermore, certain withdrawal penalties and
restrictions may apply to surrenders from qualified plan contracts.
(a) H.R. 10 Plans
Section 401 of the Code permits self-employed individuals to
establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees, commonly
referred to as "H.R. 10" or "Keogh" Plans. Contributions made to the
plan for the benefit of the employees will not be included in the gross
income of the employees until distributed from the plan. The tax
consequences to owners may vary depending upon the particular plan
design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on all
plans on such items as: amounts of allowable contributions; form,
manner and timing of distributions; transferability of benefits;
vesting and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in
eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions,
withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of contracts for use with an
H.R. 10 Plan should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment
and suitability of such an investment.
(b) Tax-Sheltered Annuities
Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of
"tax-sheltered annuities" by public schools and certain charitable,
educational and scientific organizations described in Section 501(c)
(3) of the Code. These qualifying employers may make contributions to
the contracts for the benefit of their employees. Such contributions
are not included in the gross income of the employee until the employee
receives distributions from the contract. The amount of contributions
to the tax-sheltered annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by
the Code. Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions
governing such items as transferability, distributions,
non-discrimination and withdrawals. Employee loans are not allowed
under these contracts. Any employee should obtain competent tax advice
as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
(c) Individual Retirement Annuities
Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to
contribute to an individual retirement program known as an "Individual
Retirement Annuity" ("IRA"). Under applicable limitations, certain
amounts may be contributed to an IRA which will be deductible from the
individual's gross income. These IRAs are subject to limitations on
eligibility, contributions, transferability and distributions. Sales of
contracts for use with IRAs are subject to special requirements imposed
by the Code, including the requirement that certain informational
disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA. Purchasers
of contracts to be qualified as IRAs should obtain competent tax advice
as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
(d) Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit corporate
employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees.
These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to
provide benefits under the plan. Contributions to the plan for the
benefit of employees will not be included in the gross income of the
employee until distributed from the plan. The tax consequences to
owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design. However, the
Code places limitations on all plans on such items as amount of
allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions;
vesting and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in
eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions,
transferability of benefits, withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of
contracts for use with corporate pension or profit sharing plans should
obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of
such an investment.
(e) Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans -- Section 457
Under Section 457 of the Code, governmental and certain other
tax-exempt employers may establish, for the benefit of their employees,
deferred compensation plans which may invest in annuity contracts. The
Code, as in the case of qualified plans, establishes limitations and
restrictions on eligibility, contributions and distributions. Under
these plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will
not be included in the employees' gross income until distributed from
the plan.
(f) Roth IRAs
Beginning in 1998, individuals may purchase a new type of
non-deductible IRA, known as a Roth IRA. Purchase payments for a Roth
IRA are limited to a maximum of $2,000 per year. Lower maximum
limitations apply to individuals with adjusted gross incomes between
$95,000 and $110,000 in the case of single taxpayers, between $150,000
and $160,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and
between $0 and $10,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing
separately. An overall $2,000 annual limitation continues to apply to
all of a taxpayer's IRA contributions, including Roth IRAs and non-Roth
IRAs.
Qualified distributions from Roth IRAs are free from federal
income tax. A qualified distribution requires that the individual has
held the Roth IRA for at least five years and, in addition, that the
distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on
the individual's death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home
purchase, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, a
spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor. Any distribution which is not a
qualified distribution is taxable to the extent of earnings in the
distribution. Distributions are treated as made from contributions
first and therefore no distributions are taxable until distributions
exceed the amount of contributions to the Roth IRA. The 10% penalty tax
and the regular IRA exceptions to the 10% penalty tax apply to taxable
distributions from a Roth IRA.
Amounts may be rolled over from one Roth IRA to another Roth
IRA. Furthermore, an individual may make a rollover contribution from a
non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA, unless the individual has adjusted gross
income over $100,000 or the individual is a married taxpayer filing a
separate return. The individual must pay tax on any portion of the IRA
being rolled over that represents income or a previously deductible IRA
contribution. However, for rollovers in 1998, the individual may pay
that tax ratably over the four taxable year periods beginning with the
tax year 1998. There are no similar limitations on rollovers from a
Roth IRA to another Roth IRA.
Income Payments; Net Investment Factor
See "Income Payments (The Income Phase)" in the Prospectus.
The net investment factor is an index applied to measure the net investment
performance of an investment portfolio from one valuation date to the next.
Since the net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one, and
the factor that offsets the 3% investment rate assumed is slightly less than
one, the value of an annuity unit (which changes with the product of that
factor) and the net investment may increase, decrease or remain the same.
The net investment factor for any investment portfolio for any valuation
period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) from the
result where:
(a) is the net result of:
(1) the net asset value of a series share held in the
investment portfolio determined as of the valuation
date at the end of the valuation period, plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or other
distribution declared by the series if the
"ex-dividend" date occurs during the valuation
period, plus or minus
(3) a per share credit or charge with respect to any
taxes paid or reserved for by Jackson National during
the valuation period which are determined by Jackson
National to be attributable to the operation of the
investment portfolio (no federal income taxes are
applicable under present law);
(b) is the net asset value of the series share held in the
investment portfolio determined as of the valuation date at
the end of the preceding valuation period; and
(c) is the asset charge factor determined by Jackson National for
the valuation period to reflect the charges for assuming the
mortality and expense risks and the administration charge.

Jackson National Separate Account - I
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 1998
Note 1 - Organization
- ---------------------
Jackson National Life Insurance Company ("JNL") established Jackson
National Separate Account - I (the "Separate Account") on June 14,
1993. The Separate Account commenced operations on October 16, 1995,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit
investment trust. The Separate Account receives and invests net
premiums for individual flexible premium variable annuity contracts
issued by JNL. The contracts can be purchased on a non-tax qualified
basis or in connection with certain plans qualifying for favorable
federal income tax treatment. The Separate Account currently contains
twenty-two Portfolios, each of which invests in the following series of
the JNL Series Trust:
JNL Aggressive Growth Series
JNL Capital Growth Series
JNL Global Equities Series

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.
The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Investments
-----------
The Separate Account's investments in the series of the JNL
Series Trust are stated at the net asset values of the
respective series. The average cost method is used in
determining the cost of the shares sold on withdrawals by the
Separate Account. Fund share transactions are recorded on
trade date (same as settlement date). The series follow the
accounting practice known as consent dividending, whereby all
of its net investment income and realized gains are treated as
being distributed to the Separate Account and are immediately
reinvested in the series.
Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
The operations of the Separate Account are included in the
federal income tax return of JNL, which is taxed as a "life
insurance company" under the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code. JNL anticipates no tax liability resulting from
the operations of the Separate Account.
Therefore, no federal income tax has been provided.
Note 3 - Policy Charges
- -----------------------
Charges are deducted from the Separate Account to compensate JNL for
providing the insurance benefits set forth in the contracts,
administering the contracts, distributing the contracts, and assuming
certain risks in connection with the contract.
Contract Maintenance Charge
---------------------------
An annual contract maintenance charge of $35 is charged against each
contract to reimburse JNL for expenses incurred in establishing and
maintaining records relating to the contract. The contract maintenance
charge is assessed on each anniversary of the contract date that occurs
on or prior to the annuity date. The charge is deducted by redeeming
units. For the period ended June 30,1998, $270,328 in contract
maintenance charges were assessed.
<PAGE>
Jackson National Separate Account - I
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Note 3 - Policy Charges (continued)
- -----------------------------------
Transfer Fee Charge
-------------------
A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers in excess of 15
transfers in a contract year. JNL may waive the transfer fee
in connection with pre-authorized automatic transfer programs,
or in those states where a lesser fee is required.
This fee will be deducted from contract values which remain in
the portfolio(s) from which the transfers were made. If such
remaining contract value is insufficient to pay the transfer
fee, then the fee will be deducted from transferred contract
values. For the period ended June 30, 1998, $1,150 in transfer
fees were assessed.
Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
---------------------------------------------
During the first seven contract years, certain contracts
include a provision for a charge upon the surrender or partial
surrender of the contract. The amount assessed under the
contract terms, if any, depends upon the cost associated with
distributing the particular contracts. The amount, if any,
depends on a number of factors, including the amount
withdrawn, the contract year of surrender, or the number and
amount of withdrawals in a calendar year. For the period ended
June 30, 1998, $654,471 in surrender charges were assessed.
Administration Charge
---------------------
JNL deducts a daily charge for administrative expenses from
the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual
rate of 0.15%. The administration charge is designed to
reimburse JNL for administrative expenses related to the
Separate Account and the issuance and maintenance of
contracts.
Mortality and Expense Charge
----------------------------
A daily charge is made for the mortality and expense risks
assumed by JNL. JNL deducts a daily charge from the assets of
the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 1.25% for
the assumption of mortality and expense risks. The mortality
risk assumed by JNL is that the insured may receive benefits
greater than those anticipated by JNL. The expense risk
assumed by JNL is that the costs of administering the
contracts of the Separate Account will exceed the amount
received from the Administration Charge and the Contract
Maintenance Charge.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To Jackson National Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of Jackson National Separate Account - I
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the sixteen portfolios comprising the Jackson National
Separate Account - I at December 31, 1997, the results of each of their
operations and the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of Jackson National Life Insurance
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Jackson National Separate Account - I
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997
Note 1 - Organization
Jackson National Life Insurance Company ("JNL") established Jackson

1993. The Separate Account commenced operations on October 16, 1995,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit
investment trust. The Separate Account receives and invests net
premiums for individual flexible premium variable annuity contracts
issued by JNL. The contracts can be purchased on a non-tax qualified
basis or in connection with certain plans qualifying for favorable
federal income tax treatment. The Separate Account currently contains
sixteen Portfolios, each of which invests in the following series of
the JNL Series Trust:
JNL Aggressive Growth Series
JNL Capital Growth Series
JNL Global Equities Series
JNL/Alger Growth Series
JNL/Eagle Core Equity Series
JNL/Eagle SmallCap Equity Series
JNL/Putnam Growth Series
JNL/Putnam Value Equity Series
PPM America/JNL Balanced Series
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series
PPM America/JNL Money Market Series
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL Established Growth Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity Investment Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series
Effective May 1, 1997, the JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced
Series became the PPM America/JNL Balanced Series and is managed by PPM
America, Inc., the JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Series became
the JNL/Putnam Growth Series and is managed by Putnam Investment
Management, Inc., and the PPM America/JNL Value Equity Series became
the JNL/Putnam Value Equity Series and is managed by Putnam Investment
Management, Inc.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.
The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
<PAGE>
Jackson National Separate Account - I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Investments
The Separate Account's investments in the series of the JNL
Series Trust are stated at the net asset values of the
respective series. The average cost method is used in
determining the cost of the shares sold on withdrawals by the
Separate Account. Fund share transactions are recorded on
trade date (same as settlement date). The series follow the
accounting practice known as consent dividending, whereby all
of its net investment income and realized gains are treated as
being distributed to the Separate Account and are immediately
reinvested in the series.
Federal Income Taxes
The operations of the Separate Account are included in the
federal income tax return of JNL, which is taxed as a "life
insurance company" under the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code. JNL anticipates no tax liability resulting from
the operations of the Separate Account.
Therefore, no federal income tax has been provided.
Note 3 - Policy Charges
Charges are deducted from the Separate Account to compensate JNL for
providing the insurance benefits set forth in the contracts,
administering the contracts, distributing the contracts, and assuming
certain risks in connection with the contract.
Contract Maintenance Charge
An annual contract maintenance charge of $35 is charged
against each contract to reimburse JNL for expenses incurred
in establishing and maintaining records relating to the
contract. The contract maintenance charge is assessed on each
anniversary of the contract date that occurs on or prior to
the annuity date. The charge is deducted by redeeming units.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, $233,827 in contract
maintenance charges were assessed.
<PAGE>
Jackson National Separate Account - I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Note 3 - Policy Charges (continued)
Transfer Fee Charge
A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers in excess of 15
transfers in a contract year. JNL may waive the transfer fee
in connection with pre-authorized automatic transfer programs,
or in those states where a lesser fee is required.
This fee will be deducted from contract values which remain in
the portfolio(s) from which the transfers were made. If such
remaining contract value is insufficient to pay the transfer
fee, then the fee will be deducted from transferred contract
values. For the year ended December 31, 1997, $100 in transfer
fees were assessed.
Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
During the first seven contract years, certain contracts
include a provision for a charge upon the surrender or partial
surrender of the contract. The amount assessed under the
contract terms, if any, depends upon the cost associated with
distributing the particular contracts. The amount, if any,
depends on a number of factors, including the amount
withdrawn, the contract year of surrender, or the number and
amount of withdrawals in a calendar year. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, $501,538 in surrender charges were
assessed.
Administration Charge
JNL deducts a daily charge for administrative expenses from
the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual
rate of 0.15%. The administration charge is designed to
reimburse JNL for administrative expenses related to the
Separate Account and the issuance and maintenance of
contracts.
Mortality and Expense Charge
A daily charge is made for the mortality and expense risks
assumed by JNL. JNL deducts a daily charge from the assets of
the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 1.25% for
the assumption of mortality and expense risks. The mortality
risk assumed by JNL is that the insured may receive benefits
greater than those anticipated by JNL. The expense risk
assumed by JNL is that the costs of administering the
contracts of the Separate Account will exceed the amount
received from the Administration Charge and the Contract
Maintenance Charge.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Jackson National Life Insurance Company
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated income statements and consolidated statements of stockholder's
equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the
"Company") at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

1. Nature of Operations
Jackson National Life Insurance Company, Inc. (the "Company" or "JNL") is
wholly owned by Brooke Life Insurance Company ("Brooke Life" or the
"Parent") which is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential
Corporation, plc ("Prudential"), London, England. JNL is licensed to sell
individual annuity products, including immediate and deferred annuities,
variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), and
individual life insurance products in 49 states and the District of
Columbia.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include JNL and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New
York, an insurance company; Chrissy Corporation, an advertising agency;
Jackson National Financial Services, Inc., an investment advisor and broker
dealer, and Jackson National Life Distributors, Inc., a broker dealer.
During the second quarter of 1997, the Company sold Jackson National
Compania De Seguros De Vida S.A. ("Argentina"), a life insurance company of
which JNL owned 90% of the common stock.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investments
Cash and short-term investments which primarily include cash, commercial
paper, and money market instruments are carried at cost, which approximates
fair value. These investments have maturities of three months or less and
are considered cash equivalents for reporting cash flows.
Fixed maturities include bonds, notes, redeemable preferred stocks,
mortgage-backed securities and structured securities. All fixed maturities
are considered available for sale and are carried at aggregate market
value. Previously, fixed maturities which the Company had the ability and
intent to hold to maturity were reported at amortized cost. Fixed
maturities are reduced to estimated net realizable value for declines in
market value considered to be other than temporary.
Equity securities which include common stocks and non-redeemable preferred
stocks are carried at market value.
Mortgage loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances, net of
unamortized discounts and premiums.
Policy loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances.
Real estate is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value.
Limited partnership investments are accounted for using the equity method.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are recognized in
income at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost
identification method. Acquisition premiums and discounts on

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
investments are amortized to investment income using call or maturity
dates. The changes in unrealized gains or losses of investments classified
as available for sale, net of tax and the effect of the deferred
acquisition costs adjustment are excluded from income and credited or
charged directly to stockholder's equity.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into financial derivative transactions, including swaps,
put-swaptions, futures and options to reduce and manage business risks.
These transactions manage the risk of a change in the value, yield, price,
cash flows, or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to assets,
liabilities, or future cash flows, which the Company has acquired or
incurred. Hedge accounting practices are supported by cash flow matching,
duration matching and scenario testing.
Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and
floating payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the
underlying principal amount. Interest rate swap agreements outstanding at
December 31, 1997 hedge available for sale securities and are carried at
fair value with the change in value reflected in stockholder's equity.
Amounts paid or received on interest rate swap agreements, if any, are
included in investment income. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable
from counterparties are included in other liabilities or other assets.
Realized gains and losses from the settlement or termination of the
interest rate swaps are deferred and amortized over the life of the
specific hedged assets as an adjustment to the yield.
Index swap agreements generally involve the exchange of payments based on a
short-term interest rate index for payments based on the total return of a
bond or equity index over the life of the agreement without an exchange of
the underlying principal amount. Index swap agreements outstanding at
December 31, 1997 hedge the anticipated purchase of investment grade
available for sale bonds and are carried at fair value. Fair value and
amounts paid or received on the swaps are deferred and will adjust the
basis of bonds acquired upon expiration of the swaps.
Put-swaptions purchased provide the Company with the right, but not the
obligation, to require the writers to pay the Company the present value of
a long duration interest rate swap at future exercise dates. These
put-swaptions are entered into as a hedge against significant upward
movements in interest rates. Premiums paid for put-swaption contracts are
included in other invested assets and are being amortized to investment
income over the remaining terms of the contracts with maturities of up to 5
years. Put-swaptions, designated as a hedge of available for sale
securities, are carried at fair value with the change in value reflected in
stockholder's equity.
Equity index futures contracts and equity index call options are used in
conjunction with equity index-linked immediate and deferred annuities
offered by the Company. These transactions are accounted for as hedges of
the associated annuity liabilities. The variation margin on futures
contracts is deferred and, upon closing of the contracts, adjusts the basis
of option contracts purchased. The cost of options acquired is amortized
into net investment income over the option term. The fair value of option
contracts is deferred until recognition of the associated index-linked
annuity liability.
Derivative financial instruments are primarily held for hedging purposes.
High yield index swaps and equity index swaps were held for investment
purposes in 1997 and 1996.
The Company manages the potential credit exposure for over-the-counter
derivative contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparty credit
standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements. The Company
is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties, however, it does not anticipate nonperformance.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred Acquisition Costs
Certain costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions and
certain costs associated with policy issue and underwriting which vary with
and are primarily related to the production of new business, have been
capitalized as deferred acquisition costs. Deferred acquisition costs are
increased by interest thereon and amortized in proportion to anticipated
premium revenues for traditional life policies and in proportion to
estimated gross profits for annuities and interest-sensitive life products.
As certain fixed maturities and equity securities available for sale are
carried at aggregate market value, an adjustment is made to deferred
acquisition costs equal to the change in amortization that would have
occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated aggregate market
value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. The change in this
adjustment is included with the change in market value of investments, net
of tax, on fixed maturities and equity securities available for sale that
is credited or charged directly to stockholder's equity. Deferred
acquisition costs have been decreased by $383.6 million and $188.1 million
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, to reflect this change.
Value of Acquired Insurance in-Force
The value of acquired insurance in-force at acquisition date represents the
present value of anticipated profits of the business in-force on November
25, 1986 (the date the Company was acquired by Prudential) net of
amortization. The value of acquired insurance in-force is amortized in
proportion to anticipated premium revenues for traditional life insurance
contracts and estimated gross profits for annuities and interest-sensitive
life products over a period of 20 years.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company provides deferred income taxes on the temporary differences
between the tax and financial statement basis of assets and liabilities.
JNL files a consolidated federal income tax return with Brooke Life. The
non-life insurance company subsidiaries and Jackson National Life Insurance
Company of New York file separate federal income tax returns. Income tax
expense is calculated on a separate company basis.
Policy Reserves and Liabilities
Reserves for future policy benefits:
For traditional life insurance contracts, reserves for future policy
benefits are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions
as of the issue date as to mortality, interest, policy lapsation and
expenses plus provisions for adverse deviations. Mortality assumptions
range from 59% to 90% of the 1975-1980 Basic Select and Ultimate tables
depending on underwriting classification and policy duration. Interest rate
assumptions range from 6.0% to 9.5%. Lapse and expense assumptions are
based on Company experience.
Deposits on investment contracts:
For the Company's interest-sensitive life contracts, reserves approximate
the policyholder's accumulation account. For deferred annuity, variable
annuity, guaranteed investment contracts and other investment contracts,
the reserve is the policyholder's account value.
Variable Annuity Assets and Liabilities
The assets and liabilities resulting from individual variable annuity
contracts which aggregated $1,082.7 million and $369.6 million at December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, are segregated in a separate account. The
Company receives administrative fees for managing the funds and other fees
for assuming mortality and certain expense risks. Such fees are recorded as
earned and included in variable annuity fees and net asset management fees
in the consolidated income statement.
In April 1997, the Company issued a group variable annuity contract
designed for use in connection with and issued to the Company's Defined
Contribution Retirement Plan. These deposits are allocated to the

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Jackson National Separate Account - II and aggregated $39.5 million at
December 31, 1997. The Company receives administrative fees for managing
the funds and these fees are recorded as earned and included in net asset
management fees in the consolidated income statement.
Revenue and Expense Recognition
Premiums for traditional life insurance are reported as revenues when due.
Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order
to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts. This association is
accomplished by provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and
amortization of acquisition costs.
Deposits on interest-sensitive life products and investment contracts,
principally deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts, are
treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue. Revenues
consist primarily of the investment income and charges assessed against the
policyholder's account value for mortality charges, surrenders and
administrative expenses. Fee income also includes revenues related to asset
management fees and net retained commissions. Surrender benefits are
treated as repayments of the policyholder account. Annuity benefit payments
are treated as reductions to the policyholder account. Death benefits in
excess of the policyholder account are recognized as an expense when
incurred. Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited to the
policyholder deposit. Underwriting expenses are associated with gross
profit in order to recognize profit over the life of the business. This is
accomplished by deferral and amortization of acquisition costs.
3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following summarizes the basis used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Short-Term Investments:
Carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities:
Fair values are based principally on quoted market prices, if available.
For securities that are not actively traded, fair values are estimated
using independent pricing services or analytically determined values.
Mortgage Loans:
Fair values are determined by discounting the future cash flows to the
present at current market rates. The fair value of mortgages approximated
$1,655.6 million and $846.6 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Policy Loans:
The carrying value approximates fair value since policy loans reduce the
amount payable at death or surrender of the contract.
Derivatives:
The fair value of derivatives is based on quoted market prices or estimates
received from financial institutions.
Variable Annuity Assets:
Variable annuity assets are carried at the market value of the underlying
securities.
Annuity Reserves:
Fair values for immediate and deferred annuities, without mortality
features, are derived by discounting the future estimated cash flows using
current interest rates with similar maturities. The carrying value and fair
value of such annuities approximated $21.2 billion and $20.1 billion,
respectively, at December 31, 1997, and $19.5 billion and $18.5 billion,
respectively, at December 31, 1996.

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Reserves for Guaranteed Investment Contracts:
Fair value is based on the present value of future cash flows at current
pricing rates. The fair value approximated $2.8 billion, at December 31,
1997, and $1.5 billion at December 31, 1996.
Variable Annuity Liabilities:
Fair value of contracts in the accumulation phase is based on account value
less surrender charges. Fair values of contracts in the payout phase are
based on the present value of future cash flows at assumed investment
rates. The fair value approximated $1,056.8 million and $345 million at
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
Indebtedness
Fair value is based on the present value of future cash flows at current
interest rates. The fair value of surplus notes approximated $276.2 million
at December 31, 1997. The carrying value of reverse repurchase and dollar
roll repurchase agreements approximates fair value.
4. Investments
Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-interest securities, primarily
publicly-traded industrial, mortgage-backed, utility and government bonds.
The Company generates the vast majority of its deposits from
interest-sensitive individual annuity and life insurance products, on which
it has committed to pay a declared rate of interest. The Company's strategy
of investing in fixed-income securities aims to ensure matching of the
asset yield with the interest-sensitive insurance liabilities and to earn a
stable return on its investments.
Debt Securities
The following table sets forth fixed maturity investments at December 31,
1997, classified by rating categories as assigned by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations, the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners ("NAIC"), or if not rated by such organizations, the
Company's investment advisor. At December 31, 1997, investments rated by
the Company's investment advisor totaled $1.5 billion. For purposes of the
table, if not otherwise rated higher by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization, NAIC Class 1 investments are included in the A rating;
Class 2 in BBB; Class 3 in BB and Classes 4 through 6 in B and below.

Fixed maturities with a carrying value of $6.6 million and $4.7 million
were on deposit with regulatory authorities at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, as required by law in various states in which the insurance
operations conduct business.
Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans were as follows (in thousands):

================== ================
At December 31, 1997, mortgage loans were collateralized by properties
located in 31 states and Canada. Approximately 13% of the aggregate
carrying value of the portfolio is secured by properties located in Texas.
Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets consist primarily of investments in limited
partnerships which invest in securities. Limited partnership income
recognized by the Company was $38.9 million and $3.3 million in 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Derivatives
The fair value of derivatives reflects the estimated amounts that the
Company would receive or pay upon termination of the contracts at the
reporting date. With respect to swaps and put-swaptions, the notional
amount represents the stated principal balance used as a basis for
calculating payments. With respect to futures and options, the contractual
amount represents the market exposure of outstanding positions.

outstanding amount were high yield and equity index swaps of $461.7 million
and $255.0 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Securities Lending
The Company has entered into a securities lending agreement whereby blocks
of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms.
As of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the estimated fair value of
loaned securities was $674.4 million and $287.0 million, respectively. The
agreement requires a minimum of 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned
securities as collateral, calculated on a daily basis. To further minimize
the credit risks related to this program, the financial condition of
counterparties is monitored on a regular basis.

7. Indebtedness
Surplus Notes
On March 15, 1997, the Company issued 8.15% Notes (the "Notes") in the
principal amount of $250 million due March 15, 2027. The Notes were issued
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and are unsecured
and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness, policy claims and
other creditor claims.
Under Michigan State Insurance law, the Notes are not part of the legal
