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 divisions. The contract is
intended for retirement savings or other
long-term investment purposes and provides
for a death benefit and income options.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS You can put money into any of the guaranteed
accounts and/or the investment divisions but
you may not put your money in more than
eighteen of the investment options plus the
guaranteed accounts during the life of your
contract.
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 divisions. 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%, on an annual
basis, 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. Withdrawals
may be subject to a withdrawal charge. You
may also have to pay income tax and a tax
penalty on any money you take out.
INCOME PAYMENTS You may choose to receive regular income
from your annuity. During the income phase,
you have the same investment options you had
during the accumulation phase.
DEATH BENEFIT If you die before moving to the income
phase, the person you have chosen as your
beneficiary will receive a death benefit.
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 whether your
contract is non-qualified or purchased as
part of a qualified plan.

Certain Series pay Jackson National Financial Services, LLC, the adviser, an
Administrative Fee of .10% for certain services provided to the JNL Trust and
JNL Variable Fund LLC by Jackson National Financial Services, LLC. The JNL/S&P
Series do not pay an Administrative Fee. The Total Series Annual Expenses
reflect the inclusion of the Administrative Fee.

1 See "Contract Charges"
* Underlying Series Expenses. The expenses shown above are the annual operating
expenses for the JNL/S&P Series. Because the JNL/S&P Series invest in other
Series of the JNL Series Trust, the JNL/S&P Series will indirectly bear their
pro rata share of fees and expenses of the underlying Series in addition to the
expenses shown.
The total annual operating expenses for each JNL/S&P Series (including both the
annual operating expenses for the JNL/S&P Series and the annual operating
expenses for the underlying investment divisions) could range from .90% to
1.38%. The table below shows estimated total annual operating expenses for each
of the JNL/S&P Series based on the pro rata share of expenses that the JNL/S&P
Series would bear if they invested in a hypothetical mix of underlying
investment divisions. The adviser believes the expenses shown below to be a
likely approximation of the expenses the JNL/S&P Series will incur based on the
actual mix of underlying investment divisions. The expenses shown below include
both the annual operating expenses for the JNL/S&P Series and the annual
operating expenses for the underlying investment divisions. The actual expenses
of each JNL/S&P Series will be based on the actual mix of underlying investment
divisions in which it invests. The actual expenses may be greater or less than
those shown.

EXPLANATION OF FEE TABLE AND EXAMPLES. The purpose of the Fee Table and Examples
is to assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses that you will
bear directly or indirectly. The Fee Table reflects the expenses of the separate
account and the series. Premium taxes may also apply.
The Examples reflect the contract maintenance charge which is determined by
dividing the total amount of such charges expected to be collected during the
year by the total estimated average net assets of the investment divisions.
A withdrawal charge is imposed on income payments which occur within one year of
the date the contract is issued.
THE EXAMPLES DO NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. THE ACTUAL EXPENSES THAT
YOU INCUR MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. An accumulation unit value history is contained in
Appendix A.
You can find the following financial statements in the SAI:
o the financial statements of the Separate Account for the year ended
December 31, 1999
o the financial statements of Jackson National for the year ended December
31, 1999
The Separate Account's financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1999, and the financial statements of Jackson National for the year ended
December 31, 1999, have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent accountants.
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 divisions. 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. Under qualified plans earnings also accumulate on a
tax-deferred basis.
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 divisions. The investment divisions 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 divisions, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your
contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of the
investment divisions 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 divisions 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 it receives written notice
of the assignment. An assignment may be a taxable event.
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 plc (London, England).
Jackson National has responsibility for administration of the contracts and the
Separate Account. We maintain records of the name, address, taxpayer
identification number and other pertinent information for each contract owner
and the number and type of contracts issued to each contract owner, and records
with respect to the value of each contract.
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 divisions. Jackson National does
not guarantee the investment performance of the separate account or the
investment divisions.
INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
You can put money in any or all of the investment divisions; however, you may
not allocate your money to more than eighteen investment options plus the
guaranteed accounts during the life of your contract. The investment divisions

The investment objectives and policies of certain of the investment divisions
are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that
certain of the investment sub-advisers manage. Although the objectives and
policies may be similar, the investment results of the investment division may
be higher or lower than the result of such other mutual funds. We cannot
guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar
funds will be comparable even though the funds have the same investment
advisers.
An investment division's performance may be affected by risks specific to
certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative
investments, non-investment grade debt securities, initial public offerings
(IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations. IPOs and other
investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on an investment
division with a small asset base. An investment division may not experience
similar performance as its assets grow.
Depending on market conditions, you can make or lose money in any of the
investment divisions. You should read the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust
and the JNL Variable Fund LLC carefully before investing. Additional investment
divisions 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
division with another division. We will not do this without any required
approval of the SEC. Jackson National will give you notice of such transactions.
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 division, 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 divisions 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 may 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 prospectuses for the JNL Series
Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC.
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
401 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1200, Santa Monica, California 90401, 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
o The maximum we accept without our prior approval is $1 million.
MINIMUM ADDITIONAL PREMIUMS:
o $500
o $50 under the automatic payment plan
o You can pay additional premiums at any time during the accumulation
phase.
The minimum that you may allocate to a guaranteed account or investment division
is $100. There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each guaranteed account
and investment division.
When you purchase a contract, Jackson National will allocate your premium to one
or more of the guaranteed accounts and/or the investment divisions 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 plus the guaranteed accounts 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 first premium and all information that we
require for the purchase of a contract. If we do not receive all of the
information that we require, 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 required 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 divisions
will go up or down depending on the performance of the divisions. 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 divisions. This is done by:
1. determining the total amount of money invested in the particular
investment division;
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 division by the value of the accumulation
unit for that investment division.
TRANSFERS
You can transfer money among the guaranteed accounts and the investment
divisions during the accumulation phase. During the income phase, you can
transfer money between investment divisions.
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 division 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
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 division.
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.
Your withdrawal request must be in writing. Jackson National will accept
withdrawal requests submitted via facsimile. There are risks associated with not
requiring original signatures in order to disburse contract holder monies.
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 division from which you are making the withdrawal. After your
withdrawal, you must have at least $100 left in the guaranteed account or
investment division.
INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY WITHDRAWAL
YOU MAKE.
There are limitations on withdrawals from qualified plans. 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. In addition, 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 division when:
a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
b) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
c) an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of
securities in the Separate Account or determine the division value of its
assets; or,
d) the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of owners.
The applicable rules and regulations of the SEC will govern whether the
conditions described in (b) and/or (c) exist.
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 divisions 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 DIVISIONS. If you choose to have any portion of
your income payments come from the investment division(s), the dollar amount of
your payment will depend upon three things:
1. the value of your contract in the investment division(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 divisions you selected.
Jackson National calculates the dollar amount of the first income payment that
you receive from the investment divisions. We then use that amount to determine
the number of annuity units that you hold in each investment division. The
amount of each subsequent income payment is determined by multiplying the number
of annuity units that you hold in an investment division by the annuity unit
value for that investment division.
The number of annuity units that you hold in each investment division does not
change unless you reallocate your contract value among the investment divisions.
The annuity unit value of each investment division 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 the annuitant's life, but with
payments continuing to the beneficiary for the remainder of 10 or 20 years (as
you select) if the annuitant dies before the end of the selected period. If the
beneficiary does not want to receive the payments, a single lump sum may be
requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments
(as of the date of proof of death) discounted at the assumed investment rate for
a variable annuity payout option.
Option 4 - Income for a Specified Period. This income option provides
monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30. However, you may elect to
receive a single lump sum payment which will be equal to the present value of
the remaining payments (as of the date of proof of death) discounted at the
assumed investment rate for a variable annuity payout option.
Additional Options - Other income options may be made available by Jackson
National.
DEATH BENEFIT
The death benefit is calculated as of the date we receive complete claim forms
and proof of death from the beneficiary of record.
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.
- ----------
* (4% if the owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue)
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 ON OR AFTER THE INCOME DATE. If you or a joint owner die on or
after the income date, 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 on or after the income date, any remaining payments will
be as provided for in the income option selected. Any remaining payments 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. A FURTHER DISCUSSION
REGARDING TAXES IS INCLUDED IN THE SAI.
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 the tax-deferral that is provided by the contract or the
qualified plan). 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 investment in the contract 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 a trust holding the contract as an agent
for a natural person), 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), and
pension and profit-sharing plans, which include 401(k) plans and H.R. 10 Plans.
A qualified contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral
if it is used to fund a qualified plan that is tax deferred. However, the
contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it an
appropriate investment for a qualified plan. You should consult your tax adviser
regarding these features and benefits prior to purchasing a qualified contract.
WITHDRAWALS - NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. If you make a withdrawal from your
contract, the Code generally treats the withdrawal as first coming from earnings
and then from your premium payments. Withdrawn earnings are includible in
income. Additional information is provided in the SAI
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) for
life or a period not exceeding life expectancy; (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 an additional discussion in the SAI.
WITHDRAWALS - TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITIES. The Code limits the withdrawal of amounts
attributable to purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement from
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 federal income 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 taxable distributions from the contract.
DEATH BENEFITS. Any death benefits paid under the contract are taxable to the
beneficiary. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity
contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits
and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity
payments. Estate taxes may also apply.
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 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.
OWNER CONTROL. Neither the Code nor the Treasury 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
divisions. If you are considered to be the owner of the shares, 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
divisions, to make transfers among the investment divisions or the number and
type of investment divisions owners may select from without being considered the
owner of the shares.
Furthermore, under the Contract you may invest in the JNL Variable Fund LLC,
including the JNL/First Trust the Dow(SM) Target 10 Series (Target Series).
The investment strategy employed by one or more of the Series in the Target
Series involves the purchase on a pre-determined selection date of the common
stock of a limited number of companies meeting certain criteria. Such criteria
consist of pre-set objective standards such as highest dividend yield, price per
share and market capitalization. A pre-set number of stocks meeting such
criteria (ranging from five in one series to forty in another) are purchased in
equal amounts. The Series will purchase and sell stocks on an on-going basis
according to the pre-set criteria and percentage relationships and will
generally follow a buy and hold strategy. (See the JNL Variable Fund LLC
prospectus.)
It is unknown what level of investment management must be exercised by a manager
of a Target Series and what amount of investment diversification of a Target
Series is required in order to preclude the existence of an unacceptable level
of owner control. As discussed above, if you are deemed to possess too much
control over the assets of the Separate Account, the Contract would not be given
tax-deferred treatment and therefore the earnings allocable to the Contract
would be subject to federal income tax prior to receipt by you.
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 divisions. 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 divisions from the guaranteed
accounts or any of the other investment divisions. This theoretically gives you
a lower average cost per unit over time than you would receive if you made a one
time purchase. The more volatile investment divisions may not result in lower
average costs and such divisions may not be an appropriate source of dollar cost
averaging transfers in volatile markets. Certain 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 divisions 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. You may return your contract to the selling agent or Jackson National
within twenty days after receiving it. Jackson National will return the contract
value in the investment divisions plus any fees and expenses deducted from the
premiums allocated to the investment divisions plus the full amount of premiums
you allocated to the guaranteed accounts. We will determine the contract value
in the investment divisions as of the date you mail the contract to us or the
date you return it to the selling agent. Jackson National will return premium
payments where required by law.
ADVERTISING. From time to time, Jackson National may advertise several types of
performance for the investment divisions.
o Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an
investment division 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
division, 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 division.
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 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.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Jackson National has been named as a defendant in civil
litigation proceedings substantially similar to other litigation brought against
many life insurers alleging misconduct in the sale of insurance products. These
matters are sometimes referred to as market conduct litigation. The litigation
against JNL purports to include purchasers of certain life insurance and annuity
products from JNL during the period from 1981 to present. JNL has retained
national and local counsel experienced in the handling of such litigation, and
is vigorously defending these actions. A favorable outcome is anticipated, and
at this time it is not feasible to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or
range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome in such actions. In
addition, JNL is a defendant in several individual actions that involve similar
issues, including an August 1999 verdict against JNL for $32.5 million in
punitive damages. JNL has appealed the verdict on the basis that it is not
supported by the facts or the law, and a ruling reversing the judgment is being
sought.

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 divisions. The contract is
intended for retirement savings or other
long-term investment purposes and provides
for a death benefit and income options.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS You can put money into any of the guaranteed
accounts and/or the investment divisions but
you may not put your money in more than
eighteen of the investment options plus the
guaranteed accounts during the life of your
contract.
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 divisions. 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%, on an annual
basis, 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. Withdrawals
may be subject to a withdrawal charge. You
may also have to pay income tax and a tax
penalty on any money you take out.
INCOME PAYMENTS You may choose to receive regular income
from your annuity. During the income phase,
you have the same investment options you had
during the accumulation phase.
DEATH BENEFIT If you die before moving to the income
phase, the person you have chosen as your
beneficiary will receive a death benefit.
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 whether your
contract is non-qualified or purchased as
part of a qualified plan.

is to assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses that you will
bear directly or indirectly. The Fee Table reflects the expenses of the separate
account and the series. Premium taxes may also apply.
The Examples reflect the contract maintenance charge which is determined by
dividing the total amount of such charges expected to be collected during the
year by the total estimated average net assets of the investment divisions.
A withdrawal charge is imposed on income payments which occur within one year of
the date the contract is issued.
THE EXAMPLES DO NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. THE ACTUAL EXPENSES THAT
YOU INCUR MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

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 divisions. 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. Under qualified plans earnings also accumulate on a
tax-deferred basis.
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 divisions. The investment divisions 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 divisions, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your
contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of the
investment divisions 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 divisions 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 it receives written notice
of the assignment. An assignment may be a taxable event.
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 plc (London, England).
Jackson National has responsibility for administration of the contracts and the
Separate Account. We maintain records of the name, address, taxpayer
identification number and other pertinent information for each contract owner
and the number and type of contracts issued to each contract owner, and records
with respect to the value of each contract.
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 divisions. Jackson National does
not guarantee the investment performance of the separate account or the
investment divisions.
INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
You can put money in any or all of the investment divisions; however, you may
not allocate your money to more than eighteen investment options plus the
guaranteed accounts during the life of your contract. The investment divisions
purchase shares of the following series of mutual funds:

The investment objectives and policies of certain of the investment divisions
are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that
certain of the investment sub-advisers manage. Although the objectives and
policies may be similar, the investment results of the investment division may
be higher or lower than the result of such other mutual funds. We cannot
guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar
funds will be comparable even though the funds have the same investment
advisers.
An investment division's performance may be affected by risks specific to
certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative
investments, non-investment grade debt securities, initial public offerings
(IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations. IPOs and other
investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on an investment
division with a small asset base. An investment division may not experience
similar performance as its assets grow.
Depending on market conditions, you can make or lose money in any of the
investment divisions. You should read the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust
and the JNL Variable Fund LLC carefully before investing. Additional investment
divisions 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
division with another division. We will not do this without any required
approval of the SEC. Jackson National will give you notice of such transactions.
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 division, 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 divisions 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 may 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 prospectuses for the JNL Series
Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC.
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
401 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1200, Santa Monica, California 90401, 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
o The maximum we accept without our prior approval is $1 million.
MINIMUM ADDITIONAL PREMIUMS:
o $500
o $50 under the automatic payment plan
o You can pay additional premiums at any time during the accumulation
phase.
The minimum that you may allocate to a guaranteed account or investment division
is $100. There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each guaranteed account
and investment division.
When you purchase a contract, Jackson National will allocate your premium to one
or more of the guaranteed accounts and/or the investment divisions 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 plus the guaranteed accounts 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 first premium and all information that we
require for the purchase of a contract. If we do not receive all of the
information that we require, 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 required 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 divisions
will go up or down depending on the performance of the divisions. 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 divisions. This is done by:
1. determining the total amount of money invested in the particular
investment division;
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 division by the value of the accumulation
unit for that investment division.
TRANSFERS
You can transfer money among the guaranteed accounts and the investment
divisions during the accumulation phase. During the income phase, you can
transfer money between investment divisions.
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 division 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
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 division.
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.
Your withdrawal request must be in writing. Jackson National will accept
withdrawal requests submitted via facsimile. There are risks associated with not
requiring original signatures in order to disburse contract holder monies.
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 division from which you are making the withdrawal. After your
withdrawal, you must have at least $100 left in the guaranteed account or
investment division.
INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY WITHDRAWAL
YOU MAKE.
There are limitations on withdrawals from qualified plans. 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. In addition, 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 division when:
a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
b) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
c) an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of
securities in the Separate Account or determine the division value of its
assets; or,
d) the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of owners.
The applicable rules and regulations of the SEC will govern whether the
conditions described in (b) and/or (c) exist.
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 divisions 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 DIVISIONS. If you choose to have any portion of
your income payments come from the investment division(s), the dollar amount of
your payment will depend upon three things:
1. the value of your contract in the investment division(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 divisions you selected.
Jackson National calculates the dollar amount of the first income payment that
you receive from the investment divisions. We then use that amount to determine
the number of annuity units that you hold in each investment division. The
amount of each subsequent income payment is determined by multiplying the number
of annuity units that you hold in an investment division by the annuity unit
value for that investment division.
The number of annuity units that you hold in each investment division does not
change unless you reallocate your contract value among the investment divisions.
The annuity unit value of each investment division 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 the annuitant's life, but with
payments continuing to the beneficiary for the remainder of 10 or 20 years (as
you select) if the annuitant dies before the end of the selected period. If the
beneficiary does not want to receive the payments, a single lump sum may be
requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments
(as of the date of proof of death) discounted at the assumed investment rate for
a variable annuity payout option.
Option 4 - Income for a Specified Period. This income option provides
monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30. However, you may elect to
receive a single lump sum payment which will be equal to the present value of
the remaining payments (as of the date of proof of death) discounted at the
assumed investment rate for a variable annuity payout option.
Additional Options - Other income options may be made available by Jackson
National.
DEATH BENEFIT
The death benefit is calculated as of the date we receive complete claim forms
and proof of death from the beneficiary of record.
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.
- ----------
* (4% if the owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue)
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 ON OR AFTER THE INCOME DATE. If you or a joint owner die on or
after the income date, 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 on or after the income date, any remaining payments will
be as provided for in the income option selected. Any remaining payments 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. A FURTHER DISCUSSION
REGARDING TAXES IS INCLUDED IN THE SAI.
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 the tax-deferral that is provided by the contract or the
qualified plan). 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 investment in the contract 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 a trust holding the contract as an agent
for a natural person), 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), and
pension and profit-sharing plans, which include 401(k) plans and H.R. 10 Plans.
A qualified contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral
if it is used to fund a qualified plan that is tax deferred. However, the
contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it an
appropriate investment for a qualified plan. You should consult your tax adviser
regarding these features and benefits prior to purchasing a qualified contract.
WITHDRAWALS - NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. If you make a withdrawal from your
contract, the Code generally treats the withdrawal as first coming from earnings
and then from your premium payments. Withdrawn earnings are includible in
income. Additional information is provided in the SAI
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) for
life or a period not exceeding life expectancy; (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 an additional discussion in the SAI.
WITHDRAWALS - TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITIES. The Code limits the withdrawal of amounts
attributable to purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement from
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 federal income 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 taxable distributions from the contract.
DEATH BENEFITS. Any death benefits paid under the contract are taxable to the
beneficiary. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity
contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits
and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity
payments. Estate taxes may also apply.
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 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.
OWNER CONTROL. Neither the Code nor the Treasury 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
divisions. If you are considered to be the owner of the shares, 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
divisions, to make transfers among the investment divisions or the number and
type of investment divisions owners may select from without being considered the
owner of the shares.
Furthermore, under the Contract you may invest in the JNL Variable Fund LLC,
including one or more of the following Series: JNL/First Trust The Dow(SM)
Target 5 Series, JNL/First Trust the Dow(SM) Target 10 Series, JNL/First Trust
the S&P(R) Target 10 Series, JNL/First Trust Global Target 15 Series, JNL/First
Trust Target 25 Series and JNL/First Trust Target Small-Cap Series (Target
Series).
The investment strategy employed by one or more of the Series in the Target
Series involves the purchase on a pre-determined selection date of the common
stock of a limited number of companies meeting certain criteria. Such criteria
consist of pre-set objective standards such as highest dividend yield, price per
share and market capitalization. A pre-set number of stocks meeting such
criteria (ranging from five in one series to forty in another) are purchased in
equal amounts. The Series will purchase and sell stocks on an on-going basis
according to the pre-set criteria and percentage relationships and will
generally follow a buy and hold strategy. (See the JNL Variable Fund LLC
prospectus.)
It is unknown what level of investment management must be exercised by a manager
of a Target Series and what amount of investment diversification of a Target
Series is required in order to preclude the existence of an unacceptable level
of owner control. As discussed above, if you are deemed to possess too much
control over the assets of the Separate Account, the Contract would not be given
tax-deferred treatment and therefore the earnings allocable to the Contract
would be subject to federal income tax prior to receipt by you.
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 divisions. 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 divisions from the guaranteed
accounts or any of the other investment divisions. This theoretically gives you
a lower average cost per unit over time than you would receive if you made a one
time purchase. The more volatile investment divisions may not result in lower
average costs and such divisions may not be an appropriate source of dollar cost
averaging transfers in volatile markets. Certain 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 divisions 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. You may return your contract to the selling agent or Jackson National
within twenty days after receiving it. Jackson National will return the contract
value in the investment divisions plus any fees and expenses deducted from the
premiums allocated to the investment divisions plus the full amount of premiums
you allocated to the guaranteed accounts. We will determine the contract value
in the investment divisions as of the date you mail the contract to us or the
date you return it to the selling agent. Jackson National will return premium
payments where required by law.
ADVERTISING. From time to time, Jackson National may advertise several types of
performance for the investment divisions.
o Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an
investment division 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
division, 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 division.
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 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.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Jackson National has been named as a defendant in civil
litigation proceedings substantially similar to other litigation brought against
many life insurers alleging misconduct in the sale of insurance products. These
matters are sometimes referred to as market conduct litigation. The litigation
against JNL purports to include purchasers of certain life insurance and annuity
products from JNL during the period from 1981 to present. JNL has retained
national and local counsel experienced in the handling of such litigation, and
is vigorously defending these actions. A favorable outcome is anticipated, and
at this time it is not feasible to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or
range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome in such actions. In
addition, JNL is a defendant in several individual actions that involve similar
issues, including an August 1999 verdict against JNL for $32.5 million in
punitive damages. JNL has appealed the verdict on the basis that it is not
supported by the facts or the law, and a ruling reversing the judgment is being
sought.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
Jackson National Separate Account - I (Separate Account) is a separate
investment account of Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson
National). Jackson National is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brooke Life
Insurance Company, and is ultimately a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential
plc, London, England, a life insurance company in the United Kingdom.
The JNL/First Trust The S&P Target 10 Division is not sponsored, endorsed, sold
or promoted by Standard & Poor's, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
(S&P). S&P makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the
owners of the Division or any member of the public regarding the advisability of
investing in securities generally or in the Division particularly or the ability
of the S&P 500 Index to track general stock market performance. S&P's only
relationship to the Licensee is the licensing of certain trademarks and trade
names of S&P and of the S&P 500 Index which are determined, composed and
calculated by S&P without regard to the Licensee or the Division. S&P has no
obligation to take the needs of the Licensee or the owners of the Division into
consideration in determining, composing or calculating the S&P 500 Index. S&P is
not responsible for and has not participated in the determination of the prices
and amount of the Division or the timing of the issuance or sale of the Division
or in the determination or calculation of the equation by which the Division is
to be converted into cash. S&P has no obligation or liability in connection with
the administration, marketing or trading of the Division.
S&P DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY AND/OR THE COMPLETENESS OF THE S&P 500 INDEX
OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN AND S&P SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY ERRORS,
OMISSIONS, OR INTERRUPTIONS THEREIN. S&P MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
AS TO RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED BY LICENSEE, OWNERS OF THE DIVISION, OR ANY OTHER
PERSON OR ENTITY FROM THE USE OF THE S&P 500 INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN.

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE WITH
RESPECT TO THE S&P 500 INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY

SERVICES
Jackson National is the custodian of the assets of the Separate Account. The
custodian has custody of all cash of the Separate Account and attends to the
collection of proceeds of shares of the underlying funds bought and sold by the
Separate Account.
Effective October 15, 1999, KPMG LLP, 303 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60601, assumed responsibility for certain of the audit and reporting functions
previously provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to Jackson National. These
changes were put into effect by Jackson National as of the date referenced
above. Neither Jackson National nor the Separate Account has received an adverse
opinion, nor were there any disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Blazzard, Grodd & Hasenauer, P.C. of Westport, Connecticut has provided advice
on certain matters relating to the federal securities and income tax laws in
connection with the contracts described in the Prospectus.
PURCHASE OF SECURITIES BEING OFFERED
The contracts will be sold by licensed insurance agents in states where the
contracts may be lawfully sold. The agents will be registered representatives of
broker-dealers that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD).
UNDERWRITERS
The contracts are offered continuously and are distributed by Jackson National
Life Distributors, Inc. (JNLD), 401 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1200, Santa
Monica, California 90401. JNLD is a subsidiary of Jackson National. No
underwriting commissions are paid by Jackson National to JNLD.
CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE
When Jackson National advertises performance for an investment division (except
the PPM America/JNL Money Market Division), 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
division will be shown for periods beginning on the date the investment division
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 division 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 Division) for the periods indicated are
as follows (more recent returns may be more or less than the stated returns due
to market volatility):

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.
The contract is designed for long term investment, therefore Jackson National
believes that non-standardized total return that does not reflect the deduction
of any applicable withdrawal charge may be useful to investors. 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 division (except the PPM
America/JNL Money Market Division) 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 (more recent returns may be more
or less than the stated returns due to market volatility):

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 division 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
division, the non-standardized total return quotations will show the investment
performance the investment division would have achieved (reduced by the
applicable charges) had it been invested in the series for the period quoted.
Standardized average annual total return is not available for periods before the
investment division 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 an investment division and it
corresponding 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 division. The annualized yield of an investment division
refers to the income generated by the investment division over a specified
30-day period. Because this yield is annualized, the yield generated by an
investment division 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 division.
b = expenses for the investment division
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 December 31, 1999 for each of the
referenced investment divisions is as follows:
PPM America/JNL Balanced Division ...................................... 2.20%
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Division ............................... 7.98%
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Division .............................. 6.26%
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Division ........... 4.51%
Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the Separate Account, the yield
for an investment division will be lower than the yield for the corresponding
series. The yield on amounts held in the investment division 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 division'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 Division,
subject to Rule 482 under 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 Division 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 Division'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 Division's effective yield is computed
similarly but includes the effect of assumed compounding on an annualized basis
of the current yield quotations of the Division. The PPM America/JNL Money
Market Division's yield and effective yield for the seven day period ended
December 31, 1999 were 3.97% and 4.05%, respectively.
The PPM America/JNL Money Market Division'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
division 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
Division nor that Division'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 THE 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 generally 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; (2) minimum distributions
required to be made under the Code; and (3) hardship withdrawals). 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 mutual funds 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, a mutual fund will be deemed adequately diversified if
(1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the mutual fund is
represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the value of the
total assets of the mutual fund is represented by any two investments; (3) no
more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the mutual fund is represented
by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of the value of the total
assets of the mutual fund 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.
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. For purposes of this rule, contracts received in a Section 1035
exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange. Owners should
consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more than one annuity contract in any
calendar year.
Partial 1035 Exchanges
Section 1035 of the Code provides that an annuity contract may be exchanged in a
tax-free transaction for another annuity contract. Historically, it was presumed
that only the exchange of an entire contract, as opposed to a partial exchange,
would be accorded tax-free status. In 1998 in Conway vs. Commissioner, the Tax
Court held that the direct transfer of a portion of an annuity contract into
another annuity contract qualified as a non-taxable exchange. On November 22,
1999, the Internal Revenue Service filed an Action on Decision which indicated
that it acquiesced in the Tax Court decision in Conway. However, in its
acquiesence with the decision of the Tax Court, the Internal Revenue Service
stated that it will challenge transactions where taxpayers enter into a series
of partial exchanges and annuitizations as part of a design to avoid application
of the 10% premature distribution penalty or other limitations imposed on
annuity contracts under the Code. In the absence of further guidance from the
Internal Revenue Service it is unclear what specific types of partial exchange
designs and transactions will be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service. Due
to the uncertainty in this area owners should consult their own tax advisers
prior to entering into a partial exchange of an annuity contract.
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.
Death Benefits
Any death benefits paid under the Contact are taxable to the beneficiary. The
rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity contract, as discussed
above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether
the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments. Estate taxes
may also apply.
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.
With respect to (4) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic
payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or 5 years
from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the
modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been
imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax
years in which the exception was used.
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 (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 made on
account of an IRS levy upon the qualified contracts, (8) 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); (9) 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 (10) 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.
With respect to (3) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic
payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or 5 years
from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the
modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been
imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax
years in which the exception was used.
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 Contracts offered herein are designed to be suitable for use under various
types of Qualified Plans. Taxation of participants 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 pursuant to the plan. Some retirement
plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not
incorporated into the Company's administrative procedures. The Company is not
bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms
conflict with the terms of a Contract, unless the Company specifically consents
to be bound. Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries are responsible for
determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with
respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law.
A Qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral
if it is used to fund a Qualified Plan that is tax deferred. However, the
Contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it an
appropriate investment for a Qualified Plan. Following are generally
descriptions of the types of Qualified Plans with which the Contracts may be
used. Such descriptions are not exhaustive and are for general informational
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 as described
herein. Generally, Contract 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 Contracts. (See "Tax
Treatment of Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts" below.)
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in Arizona Governing Committee v.
Norris that optional annuity benefits provided under an employer's deferred
compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
vary between men and women. The Contracts sold by the Company in connection with
certain Qualified Plans will utilize tables which do not differentiate on the
basis of sex. Such annuity tables will also be available for use in connection
with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
(a) 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.
(b) 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
taxable 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.
(c) Roth IRAs
Section 408A of the Code provides that 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 and are not deductible from taxable income. 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. There are no similar limitations on rollovers from a Roth
IRA to another Roth IRA.
(d) Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit employers, including
self-employed individuals, 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 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 Code provisions, employees and independent contracts performing
services for state and local governments and other tax-exempt
organizations may participate in Deferred Compensation Plans Under
Section 457 of the Code. The amounts deferred under a Plan which meets
the requirements of Section 457 of the Code are not taxable as income
to the participant until paid or otherwise made available to the
participant or beneficiary. As a general rule, the maximum amount which
can be deferred in any one year is the lesser of $8,000 or 33 1/3
percent of the participant's includible compensation. However, in
limited circumstances, the plan may provided for additional catch-up
contributions in each of the last three years before normal retirement
age. Furthermore, the Code provides additional requirements and
restrictions regarding eligibility and distributions.
All of the assets and income of a Plan established by governmental
employer after August 20, 1996, must be held in trust for the exclusive
benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. For this purpose,
custodial accounts and certain annuity contracts are treated as trusts.
Plans that were in existence on August 20, 1996 may be amended to
satisfy the trust and exclusive benefit requirement any time prior to
January 1, 1999, and must be amended not later than that date to
continue to receive favorable tax treatment. The requirement of a trust
does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a tax-exempt
(non-governmental) employer. In addition, the requirement of a trust
does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a governmental employer if
the Plan is not an eligible plan within the meaning of section 457(b)
of the Code. In the absence of such a trust, amounts under the plan
will be subject to the claims of the employer's general creditor's.
In general, distributions from a Plan are prohibited under section 457
of the Code unless made after the participation employee:
o attains age 70 1/2,
o separates from service,
o dies, or
o suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency as defined in the
Code.
Under present federal tax law, amounts accumulated in a Plan under
section 457 of the Code cannot be transferred or rolled over on a
tax-deferred basis except for certain transfers to other Plans under
section 457.
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 division 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 division for any valuation period
during the accumulation and annuity phases 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 division 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 division (no federal income taxes are
applicable under present law);
(b) is the net asset value of the series share held in the
investment division 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.

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 corresponding series
of mutual funds 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. Investments in the Series are recorded on
trade date. The Separate Account does not record dividend
income as the Series follow the accounting practice known as
consent dividending, whereby all net investment income and
realized gains are treated as being distributed to the
Separate Account and are immediately reinvested in the Series.

JACKSON NATIONAL SEPARATE ACCOUNT - I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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. Under current law, no federal income taxes are
payable with respect to 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 contracts.
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 December 31, 1999, $810,773 in contract
maintenance charges were assessed.
Transfer Fee Charge
A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers made by
policyholders between the Portfolios and between the
Portfolios and the general account 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 December 31, 1999, $21,000 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, is
determined based on a number of factors, including the amount
withdrawn, the contract year of surrender, or the number and
amount of
<PAGE>
JACKSON NATIONAL SEPARATE ACCOUNT - I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE 3 - POLICY CHARGES (CONTINUED)
Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (continued)
withdrawals in a calendar year. The surrender charges are
assessed by JNL and withheld from the proceeds of the
withdrawals. For the period ended December 31, 1999,
$2,952,008 in surrender charges were assessed.
Insurance Charges
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.
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.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Jackson National Life Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Jackson National
Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1999 and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholder's equity and comprehensive income, and cash
flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The
accompanying consolidated statements of Jackson National Life Insurance Company
as of December 31, 1998, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon
dated February 5, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jackson National
Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1999, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed more fully in note 2 to the financial statements, effective January
1, 1999, Jackson National Life Insurance Company adopted Statement of Position
97-3, "Accounting by Insurance Companies and Other Enterprises for Insurance
Related Assessments."

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Jackson National Life Insurance Company (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 plc
("Prudential"), London, England. JNL is licensed to sell group and
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, LLC, an investment advisor and
transfer agent; Jackson National Life Distributors, Inc., a broker dealer
and JNL Thrift Holdings, Inc., a unitary thrift holding company.
On November 10, 1998, JNL Thrift Holdings, Inc. completed its acquisition
of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of San Bernardino, a thrift
located in San Bernardino, California. Following the acquisition, the
thrift was renamed Jackson Federal Bank ("Jackson Federal"). The purchase
price amounted to $6.5 million. Additional capital contributions of $3.5
million and $4.2 million were made by the Company in 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Jackson Federal had total assets of $110.0 million and
deposits of $105.8 million at the date of the acquisition. The $3.8 million
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired was
allocated to goodwill and core deposits. The core deposits are amortized
over 7 years and goodwill is amortized over 15 years. The acquisition was
accounted for by the purchase method and the results of Jackson Federal are
included in the consolidated income statement from the date of acquisition.
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.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1999, JNL adopted Statement of Position 97-3,
"Accounting by Insurance Companies and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments" ("SOP 97-3"). SOP 97-3 establishes
accounting standards for guaranty fund and other insurance related
assessments. Under SOP 97-3, the Company establishes an asset for premium
tax offsets and policy surcharges at the time of the assessment if certain
circumstances exist. Previously, no asset was recorded for premium tax
offsets. The adoption of SOP 97-3 is treated as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle and prior periods have not been restated.
The cumulative effect of the change totaling $38.0 million, net of deferred
acquisition cost amortization of $10.5 million and federal income taxes of
$9.6 million is included in net income in 1999.
Effective January 1, 1999, JNL adopted Statement of Position 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use." The impact of adoption was not material.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Effective January 1, 1998, JNL adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive
income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income
includes all changes in stockholder's equity (except those arising from
transactions with owners/shareholders) and, in the Company's case, includes
net income and net unrealized gains/(losses) on securities. SFAS 130
requires additional disclosures in the financial statements, but it has no
impact on the Company's financial position or net income.
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 consist of debt securities and commercial loans. Debt
securities include bonds, notes, redeemable preferred stocks,
mortgage-backed securities and structured securities. All debt securities
are considered available for sale and are carried at aggregate fair value.
Debt securities are reduced to estimated net realizable value for declines
in fair value considered to be other than temporary. Commercial loans
include certain term and revolving notes as well as certain receivables
arising from asset based lending activities. Commercial loans are carried
at outstanding principal balances, less an allowance for loan losses.
Equity securities which include common stocks and non-redeemable preferred
stocks are carried at fair value.
Mortgage loans are carried at aggregate unpaid principal balances, net of
unamortized discounts and premiums and an allowance for loan losses. The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to
absorb losses inherent in the mortgage loan portfolio.
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 investments
are amortized to investment income using call or maturity dates. The
changes in unrealized gains or losses on investments classified as
available for sale, net of tax and the effect of the deferred acquisition
costs adjustment, are excluded from net income and included as a component
of comprehensive income and 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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, 1999 and 1998 hedge available for sale securities and are
carried at fair value with the change in value reflected in comprehensive
income and stockholder's equity. Amounts paid or received on interest rate
swap agreements 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, 1998 hedged 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
10 years. Put-swaptions, designated as a hedge of available for sale
securities, are carried at fair value with the change in value reflected in
comprehensive income and stockholder's equity.
Equity index futures contracts and equity index call options are used to
hedge the Company's obligations associated with its issuance of equity
index-linked immediate and deferred annuities. The variation margin on
futures contracts is deferred and, upon closing of the contracts, adjusts
the basis of option contracts purchased. Premiums paid for call options,
adjusted for the effects of hedging, are included in net investment income
ratably over the terms of the options. The call option contracts are
included in other invested assets and are carried at intrinsic value.
Cross-currency swaps, which embody spot and forward currency swaps and
additionally, in some cases, interest rate swaps, are entered into for the
purpose of hedging the Company's foreign currency denominated Trust
instrument obligations. Cross-currency swaps are included in other assets
at cost adjusted for transaction gains or losses using exchange rates as of
the reporting date. Unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and
losses related to hedging activities are excluded from net income.
Derivative financial instruments are held primarily for hedging purposes.
High yield bond index swaps and equity index swaps were held for investment
purposes in 1998 and 1997. Emerging market bond index swaps and equity
index futures were also held for investment purposes in 1998.
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 fair 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 fair
value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. The change in this
adjustment is included with the change in fair value of fixed maturities
and equity securities available for sale, net of tax, that is credited or
charged directly to stockholder's equity and is a component of other
comprehensive income. Deferred acquisition costs have been increased by
$320.0 million at December 31, 1999 and decreased by $245.3 million at
December 31, 1998 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 and
Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York. In years prior to
1998, JNL filed a consolidated federal income tax return with Brooke Life
only. The non-life insurance company subsidiaries 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 50% 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. The reserve for equity
index-linked annuities is based on two components, i) the guaranteed
contract value, and ii) the intrinsic value of the option component of the
contract as of the valuation date. Obligations in excess of the guaranteed
contract value are hedged through the use of futures contracts and call
options.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
TRUST INSTRUMENTS SUPPORTED BY FUNDING AGREEMENTS
In 1999, JNL and Jackson National Life Funding, LLC established an initial
$2 billion aggregate European Medium Term Note program. Jackson National
Life Funding, LLC was formed as a special purpose vehicle solely for the
purposes of issuing instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of
which are deposited with JNL and secured by the issuance of Funding
Agreements. Instruments issued representing obligations denominated in a
foreign currency have been hedged for changes in exchange rates using
cross-currency swaps. Trust instrument liabilities reported are adjusted to
reflect the effects of foreign currency transaction gains and losses using
exchange rates as of the reporting date. Unrealized foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are excluded from net income.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The assets and liabilities resulting from individual variable annuity
contracts which aggregated $4,461.2 million and $1,908.1 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, are segregated in separate
accounts. 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.
The Company has 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 Jackson National
Separate Account - II and aggregated $61.0 million and $43.6 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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
policyholder deposits. 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:
Fair values for debt securities 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. For commercial loans, carrying value approximates fair
value.

3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
EQUITY SECURITIES:
Fair values for common and non-redeemable preferred stock 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
$3,400.3 million and $2,682.7 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
POLICY LOANS:
Fair value approximates carrying value since policy loan balances reduce
the amount payable at death or surrender of the contract.
DERIVATIVES:
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, estimates received from
financial institutions, or valuation pricing models.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ASSETS:
Variable annuity assets are carried at the market value of the underlying
securities.
ANNUITY RESERVES:
Fair values for immediate annuities, without mortality features, are
derived by discounting the future estimated cash flows using current
interest rates with similar maturities. For deferred annuities, fair value
is based on surrender value. The carrying value and fair value of such
annuities approximated $20.2 billion and $19.2 billion, respectively, at
December 31, 1999, and $20.0 billion and $19.1 billion, respectively, at
December 31, 1998.
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 $4.7 billion, at December 31,
1999, and $4.6 billion at December 31, 1998.
TRUST INSTRUMENTS SUPPORTED BY FUNDING AGREEMENTS:
Fair value is based on the present value of future cash flows at current
pricing rates. The fair value approximated $1.0 billion at December 31,
1999.
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 $4,336.8 million and $1,861.7 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 $248.8 million
and $288.9 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
carrying value of reverse repurchase agreements approximates fair value.

4. INVESTMENTS
Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-income securities, primarily
publicly-traded industrial, mortgage-backed, utility and government bonds,
and mortgage and commercial loans. The Company generates the majority of
its deposits from interest-sensitive individual annuity contracts, life
insurance products, and guaranteed investment contracts on which it has
committed to pay a declared rate of interest. The Company's strategy of
investing in fixed-income securities and loans aims to ensure matching of
the asset yield with the interest-sensitive liabilities and to earn a
stable return on its investments.

DERIVATIVES
The fair value of derivatives reflects the estimated amounts that the
Company would receive or pay upon sale or termination of the contracts, net
of payment accruals, 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.

SECURITIES LENDING
The Company has entered into a securities lending agreement with an agent
bank whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily
major brokerage firms. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the estimated fair
value of loaned securities was $313.8 million and $440.2 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. Cash
collateral received in the amount of $288.0 million and $425.0 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, was invested in a pooled fund
managed by the agent bank and included in short-term investments of the

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 Insurance law, the Notes are not part of the legal
liabilities of the Company and are considered capital and surplus for
statutory reporting purposes. Payments of interest or principal may only be
made with the prior approval of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State
of Michigan and only out of surplus earnings which the Commissioner
determines to be available for such payments under Michigan Insurance law.
The Notes may not be redeemed at the option of the Company or any holder
prior to maturity.
Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each
year. Interest expense on the Notes was $20.8 million in 1999 and 1998, and
$16.3 million in 1997.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company entered into reverse repurchase and
dollar roll repurchase agreements (in 1998 and 1997 only) whereby the
Company agreed to sell and repurchase securities. These activities have
been accounted for as financing transactions, with the assets and
associated liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheet.
Short-term borrowings under such agreements averaged $987.8 million and
$1.8 billion during 1999 and 1998, respectively, at weighted average
interest rates of 5.39% and 5.49%, respectively. Interest paid totaled
$53.2 million, $100.2 million and $91.4 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The highest level of short-term borrowings at any month end
was $1.5 billion in 1999 and $2.4 billion in 1998.

8. REINSURANCE
The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance from and to other insurance
companies in order to limit losses from large exposures; however, if the
reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the originating issuer of the
coverage retains the liability. The maximum amount of life insurance risk
retained by the Company on any one life is generally $1.5 million. Amounts
not retained are ceded to other companies on a yearly renewable-term or a
coinsurance basis.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has contracted for the construction of a new home office
building. The total cost upon completion in 2000 is expected to approximate
$60.0 million, of which $30.5 million was capitalized at December 31, 1999.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the
ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have a material adverse
affect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. JNL
has been named in civil litigation proceedings which appear to be
substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many
life insurers alleging misconduct in the sale of insurance products. At
this time, it is not possible to make a meaningful estimate of the amount
or range of loss, if any, that could result from an unfavorable outcome in
such actions. In addition, JNL is a defendant in several individual actions
that involve similar issues, including an August 1999 verdict against JNL
for $32.5 million in punitive damages. JNL has appealed the verdict on the
basis that it is not supported by the facts or the law, and a ruling
reversing the judgement is expected.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
State guaranty funds provide payments for policyholders of insolvent life
insurance companies. These guaranty funds are financed by assessments to
solvent insurance companies based on location, volume, and types of
business. The Company estimated its reserve for future state guaranty fund
assessments based on data received from the National Organization of Life
and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Based on data received at the
end of 1999, the Company's reserve for future state guaranty fund
assessments was $80.2 million. The Company believes the reserve is adequate
for all anticipated payments for known insolvencies.
The Company offers synthetic GIC contracts to group customers including
pension funds and other institutional organizations. The synthetic GIC
contract is an off-balance sheet, fee based product where the customer
retains ownership of the assets related to these contracts and JNL
guarantees the customer's obligation to meet withdrawal requirements. The
value of off-balance sheet guarantees was $46 million and $892 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
11. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
Under Michigan Insurance Law, dividends on capital stock can only be
distributed out of earned surplus, unless the Commissioner approves the
dividend prior to payment. Furthermore, without the prior approval of the
Commissioner, dividends cannot be distributed which exceed the greater of
statutory net gain from operations or 10% of the Company's statutory
surplus for the prior year. On January 1, 2000 the maximum amount of
dividends that can be paid by the Company without prior approval of the
Commissioner under this limitation approximated $334.7 million.
The Company received capital contributions from its parent of $528.0
million and $184.0 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Dividend
payments were $96.3 million, $589.6 million and $244.5 million in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively, and received the required approval from the
Michigan Insurance Bureau prior to payment.
Statutory capital and surplus of the Company was $2,260.8 million and
$2,127.4 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Statutory net
income of the Company was $355.4 million, $321.8 million, and $237.
4 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company's investment portfolio is managed by PPM America, Inc. ("PPM"),
a registered investment advisor and ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of
Prudential. The Company paid $26.0 million, $28.9 million and $20.1 million
to PPM for investment advisory services during 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
13. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan covering
substantially all employees. To be eligible, an employee must have attained
the age of 21 and completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a 12-month
period. The Company's annual contributions, as declared by the board of
directors, are based on a percentage of eligible compensation paid to
participating employees during the year. The Company's expense related to
this plan was $2.9 million, $3.8 million and $4.3 million in 1999, 1998 and
