                   Profile of PIA Variable Annuity Account I     
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------    
     This profile is a summary of some of the more important points that you 
   should consider and know before purchasing the Contract. The Contract is 
   more fully described in the prospectus which accompanies this Profile. 
   Please read the prospectus carefully.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------    

1. The Annuity Contracts
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   The Contract offered in this prospectus is a combination variable and fixed 
annuity contract between you, the owner, and The Penn Insurance and Annuity 
Company.  The Contract provides a means for you to invest in one or more of the 
available investment funds listed in Section 4, and/or one or more of the fixed 
interest accounts guaranteed and funded by The Penn Insurance and Annuity 
Company through its general account.

   You determine (1) the amount and frequency of purchase payments, (2) the 
investment funds, (3) transfers between the investment funds, (4) the type of 
annuity to be paid after the accumulation period, (5) the beneficiary to whom 
death benefits are to be paid, and (6) the amount and frequency of withdrawals.

   Purchase payments and investment gains allocated to the variable acconts vary
up and down with the investment experience of the underlying investment funds.
The investment risk is high or low, depending on the variable account selected.
Refer to section 8 to see calendar year performance of the investment funds
which will show you the range of historical returns.

2. Annuity Payments
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   You may choose (1) an annuity for a specified number of years, (2) a life 
annuity, (3) a life annuity with payments guaranteed for 10 or 20 years, (4) a 
joint and survivor life annuity or (5) another form of an annuity that we may 
agree upon.  You may select any one of these as a variable annuity (except for a
specified number of years), a fixed annuity, or a combination of both.

3. Purchase
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Contract may be purchased by individuals, corporations and other business
associations.  It may be purchased under retirement plans that qualify for 
special tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (Qualified Plan), or as a 
Non-Qualified Plan.  The minimum initial purchase payment is $5,000 for all 
Non-Qualified Plans and $2,000 for Qualified Plans.  For both Plans, the minimum
subsequent purchase payment is $250.

5. Expenses
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Each year we deduct a contract administration charge of the lesser of $30 or 2%
of the variable account value, unless the variable account value is greater than
$50,000.  We deduct a daily mortality and expense risk charge equal to an 
annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net asset value of the variable account and a 
daily administration charge equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of the daily net 
asset value of the variable account.  The investment funds underlying the 
variable accounts also incur expenses, which range from 0.28% to 1.75% of the 
fund's average daily value.

 A contingent deferred sales charge may be deducted if you make a full or 
partial withdrawal.  No deferred sales charge will be made on the portion of the
first withdrawal that does not exceed 15% of total purchase payments.  The 
following table shows the schedule of the contingent deferred sales charge that 
will apply:

            -------------------------------------------------------

 The following table is designed to help you understand the charges in your 
Contract.  The column "Total Annual Charges" shows the annual percentage charge 
for contract administration (which is represented as .05%), insurance charges 
and investment charges.  The next columns show you two examples of the charges, 
in dollars, you would pay under your Contract.  The examples assume that you 
invested $1,000 in a Contract which earns 5% annually and that you withdraw your
money at the end of the applicable period.  The premium tax is assumed to be 0% 
in both examples.

6.  Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your gains under the Contract are not taxed until you take them out. If you 
take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal tax penalty on the earnings. 
Payments during the income phase are considered partly a return of your original
investment. That part of each payment is not taxable as income.

7.  Withdrawals
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 You may withdraw all or part of your money at any time during the accumulation
phase. Once in each contract year on or after the last day of the first 
contract year you may withdraw up to 15% of the total purchase payments free of 
the contingent deferred sales charge. A premature withdrawal charge may be 
deducted from the money earned on the fixed interest accounts if you take the 
money prior to maturity of your fixed interest account.

8.  Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The value of your Contract will fluctuate depending upon the investment 
performance of the fund(s) you choose. The following chart shows total returns 
for each fund for the time periods shown. These numbers reflect t he insurance 
company charges and the investment charges of the fund, but do not reflect any 
withdrawal charges, which would reduce the performance if they were applied. 
Past performance is no guarantee of the future results.

  In addition, you may also invest in fixed interest options in the Fixed
Account. The fixed interest options are funded through and are backed by the
Company's general account.
  For many persons, a combination variable and fixed annuity contract may be an
attractive long-term investment vehicle. Its benefits include the manner in
which earnings on accumulated funds are taxed, the availability of multiple
investment options, and the provision of annuity and death benefit guarantees.
  The Contract is not intended as a short-term investment vehicle. Early
withdrawals of purchase payments from the Contract may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge of up to 6%, and withdrawals by an owner
before age 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% additional income tax.
  For contracts sold in some states, not all Funds or fixed interest options
are available. Also, in some states, the number of years during which purchase
payments may be made to the Company is limited.
  A Contract may be returned within ten days of receipt for a full refund of
the Contract Value (or purchase payments, if required under applicable law).
Longer free look periods apply in some states.

*** Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust") is divided into
    portfolios ("Portfolios"), each of which invests all of its net investable
    assets in a corresponding series ("Series") of Advisers Managers Trust.
    Expenses in the table reflect expenses of the Portfolios and include each
    Portfolio's pro rata portion of the operating expenses of each Portfolio's
    corresponding Series. The Portfolios pay Neuberger & Berman Management
    Inc. ("NBMI") an administration fee based on the Portfolio's net asset
    value. Each Portfolio's corresponding Series pays NBMI a management fee
    based on the Series' average daily net assets. Accordingly, this table
    combines management fees at the Series level and administration fees at
    the Portfolio's level in a unified fee rate. Total Annual Expenses for
    each portfolio have been restated based upon current administration fees
    for the Portfolio and management fees for its corresponding Series. See
    "Expenses" in the Trust's Prospectus.

  In advertisements of the Contracts, Penn Mutual may provide information on
total return performance and on annual changes in accumulation unit values. We
may also provide information on "yields" and "effective yields" on investments
in the Money Market Fund subaccount.
  Information on total return performance will include average annual rates of
total return for one, five and ten year periods, or lesser periods depending on
how long the subaccount has been in existence. Average annual total return
figures will show the average annual rates of increase or decrease in
investments in the subaccounts, assuming a $1,000 investment at the beginning
of the period, withdrawal of the investment at the end of the period, and the
deduction of all applicable charges. We may also show average annual rates of
total return, assuming other amounts invested at the beginning of the period
and no withdrawal at the end of the period. Average annual total return figures
which assume no withdrawal at the end of the period will reflect all recurring
charges, but will not reflect the contingent deferred sales charge (if
applicable, the contingent deferred sales charge would reduce the amount that
may be withdrawn under the Contracts).
  The "yield" on an investment in the Money Market Fund subaccount refers to
the income generated by the investment over a 7-day period. This income is then
annualized. That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during
that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is
shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated
similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the
subaccount is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly
higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed
reinvestment.

THE PENN INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
   
The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company") is a Delaware stock life
insurance company. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("Penn Mutual"), a Pennsylvania mutual life insurance
company that has been in the life insurance business since 1847. The Company is
licensed to sell insurance and annuities in 47 states and the District of
Columbia. The Company's financial statements appear in the statement of
additional information.     
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
PIA Variable Annuity Account I was established as a separate account of the
Company on July 13, 1994. The Separate Account is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
  The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts for investments in shares of
different mutual funds. Income, gains and losses, realized or unrealized, of a
subaccount are credited to or charged against the subaccount without regard to
any other income, gains or losses of the Company. Assets equal to the reserves
and other contract liabilities with respect to each subaccount are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business of the Company.
The Company is obligated to pay all benefits and make all payments provided
under the Contracts.
  Amounts allocated or transferred to the Separate Account under the Contracts
are invested, at the direction of the Contract Owner, in one or more funds of
Penn Series Funds, Inc., American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc., Neuberger
& Berman Advisers Management Trust, Fidelity Investments' Variable Insurance
Products Fund, Fidelity Investments' Variable Insurance Products Fund II and
Morgan Stanley Universal Funds, Inc.
  The mutual funds have shareholders other than the Separate Account. Shares of
Penn Series Funds, Inc. are also sold to Penn Mutual and other separate
accounts of Penn Mutual that fund benefits under variable annuity and variable
life insurance contracts. Shares of American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc.,
Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management Trust, Fidelity Investments' Variable
Insurance Products Fund, Fidelity Investments' Variable Insurance Products Fund
II and Morgan Stanley Universal Funds, Inc. are sold to variable annuity and
variable life separate accounts of Penn Mutual, such accounts of other
insurance companies and, in the case of Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management
Trust, directly to qualified pension and retirement plans. Each mutual fund
will monitor events to identify any material conflicts that might arise between
the Separate Account and its other shareholders. See the accompanying
prospectuses of the funds for information on their monitoring for conflicts.
   
  Like other business organizations and individuals around the world, the
Separate Account could be adversely affected if the computer systems do not
properly process and calculate date-related information from and after January
1, 2000. This is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem." Penn Insurance and
Annuity is taking steps that it believes are reasonably designed to address the
Year 2000 Problem with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to
obtain satisfactory assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the
Separate Account's major service providers. At this time, however, there can be
no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on
the Separate Account.

VOTING RIGHTS
   
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as currently interpreted, Contract
Owners have the right to instruct the Company as to the voting of the shares of
the mutual funds held in the subaccounts of the Separate Account pursuant to
the Contracts. The number of shares of a fund for which voting instructions may
be given prior to the Contract Annuity Date is determined by dividing the
Contract Owner's interest in the applicable subaccount of the Separate Account
by the net asset value per share of the fund. The number of shares of a fund
for which voting instructions may be given after the Contract Annuity Date is
determined by dividing the reserve allocated to the applicable subaccount by
the net asset value per share of the fund. Should the applicable law, or
interpretations thereof, change so as to permit us to vote shares of the mutual
funds in our own right, we may elect to do so. Further, we reserve the right to
modify the manner in which we calculate the weight to be given to pass-through
voting instructions where such a change is necessary to comply with federal law
or interpretations thereof.     
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CONTRACT
   
The Contract described in this prospectus is a combination variable and fixed
annuity contract. The Contract provides for investment, through subaccounts of
the Separate Account, in one or more of the available funds of Penn Series
Funds, Inc., American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc., Neuberger & Berman
Advisers Management Trust, Fidelity Investments' Variable Insurance Products
Fund, Fidelity Investments' Variable Insurance Products Fund II and Morgan
Stanley Universal Funds, Inc.     
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
 
It also provides for investment in one or more fixed interest accounts. The
fixed interest accounts are guaranteed and funded by the Company through its
general account. See THE FIXED INTEREST OPTIONS in this prospectus.
  As the Contract Owner, you determine, within Contract limits (1) the amount
and frequency of the purchase payments to be made to the Company, (2) the
investment options to which the purchase payments are to be allocated, (3)
transfers among investment options, (4) the form of annuity to be paid after
the accumulation period and the person to whom it is to be paid, (5) the
beneficiary to whom death benefits are to be paid, and (6) the amount and
frequency of withdrawals from the Contract Value. Currently, for Contracts sold
in Oregon, New Jersey and Washington, purchase payments may be made only during
the first three contract years.
  During the variable annuity payout period, you (or the beneficiary in the
event of your death or the Annuitant's death) may transfer Annuity Unit values
among subaccounts of the Separate Account.
  Upon the earlier of the death of the Contract Owner (other than a trustee) or
Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date, the beneficiary may elect to receive a
death benefit in a lump sum or in the form of an annuity. A spousal beneficiary
may elect to become the Owner of the Contract.
  The Contract may be amended at any time to conform to applicable laws or
governmental regulations. If, in our judgment, investment in any of the mutual
funds becomes inappropriate to the purposes of the Contract, we may, with
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the governing state
insurance department, substitute another fund for existing and future
investments.
  Contract Owner inquiries may be made by writing The Penn Insurance and
Annuity Company, Customer Service Group, Philadelphia, PA 19172. Or, you can
call (215) 956-9177.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURCHASES
 
  To purchase a Contract, your completed application, together with a check for
the first purchase payment, should be forwarded to our administrative office.
Normally, a completed application form received at our administrative office
will be accepted within two business days. If an incomplete application is not
completed and acted upon within five business days, the purchase payment will
be returned to you unless you request that we retain it while you complete the
application. All subsequent purchase payments are sent directly to our
administrative office.
  The minimum initial purchase payment is $5,000 for all non-qualified
contracts and $2,000 for individual retirement annuities under Section 408 of
the Internal Revenue Code and for tax deferred annuities under Section 403(b)
of the Code. For all Contracts, the minimum subsequent purchase payment that
will be accepted is $250. We may, in our discretion, reduce the minimum
requirements for initial and subsequent purchase payments. We will accept total
purchase payments under your Contract of up to $1 million. Total purchase
payments in excess of $1 million require our prior approval.
  Purchase payments allocated to the Separate Account are credited in the form
of Accumulation Units of the subaccount selected. The number of Accumulation
Units credited is determined by dividing the purchase payment allocated to the
Separate Account by the value of the Accumulation Unit at the end of the
valuation period in which the purchase payment is received at our
administrative office or, in a case of the first purchase payment, is accepted
by us.
  The principal underwriter of the Contract (under federal securities laws) is
Hornor, Townsend & Kent, Inc., 600 Dresher Road, Horsham, PA 19044, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Penn Mutual.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCUMULATION UNITS
 
  For each subaccount of the Separate Account the value of an Accumulation Unit
will be $10 when the subaccount commences operation. The value of an
Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease from one valuation period to the
next.
  The value of an Accumulation Unit for a valuation period is determined by
multiplying the value of an Accumulation Unit for the prior valuation period by
the net investment factor for the subaccount for the current valuation period.
  The net investment factor is a measure of (1) investment performance of
mutual fund shares held in the subaccount, (2) any taxes on income or gains
from investments held in the subaccount and (3) the mortality and expense risk
charge at an annual rate of 1.25% and contract administration charge at an
annual rate of 0.15% assessed against the subaccount. Under current law, no
taxes are levied against income or gain from investments held in a subaccount.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
  You may choose one of the following forms of annuity: (1) an annuity for a
specified number of years, (2) a life annuity, (3) a life annuity with payments
guaranteed for 10 or 20 years, (4) a joint and survivor life annuity or (5)
such other form of annuity as we may agree upon. You may select any one of
these forms of annuity as a variable annuity (except for a specified number of
years), a fixed annuity, or a combination of both.
  The level of the variable annuity payments is determined by various factors,
including the amount accumulated and applied under the Contract to the variable
annuity, the form of annuity chosen, the expected duration of the annuity
period, the performance of the applicable investment options, and the annuity
purchase rates and charges specified in the Contract.
  The variable annuity purchase rates assume an annual net investment return of
3%. If the annual net investment return during the annuity payout period is
greater than 3%, the level of the annuity payment increases. If the annual net
investment return is less than 3%, the level of the annuity payments decreases.
  The level of fixed annuity payments under a Contract is determined by various
factors, including the amount accumulated and applied under the Contract to the
fixed annuity, the form of annuity chosen, the expected duration of the annuity
period, and current annuity purchase rates for single premium nonparticipating
fixed annuity contracts issued by the Company.
  Unless you specify otherwise, you or such other person you designate will
receive a life annuity with payments guaranteed for 10 years, except for tax
deferred annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code and pension or profit
sharing plans under Section 401 of the Code. Annuitants under those Contracts
will receive a joint and survivor annuity. Unless you specify otherwise, the
annuity will be split between fixed and variable in the same proportions as the
Contract Value on the Annuity Date.
  Unless you specify otherwise, the Annuity Date will be the later of (1) the
first day of the next month after the Annuitant's 85th birthday or (2) 10 years
after the contract date, unless state law requires an earlier Annuity Date. The
Annuity Date under the Contract may not be earlier than the second contract
anniversary and must be on the first day of a month.
  You may change the Annuity Date or annuity option by giving written notice at
our administrative office at least 30 days prior to the current Annuity Date.
If the Contract Value of a Contract is less than $5,000, we may elect to pay
such amount in a lump sum in place of an annuity. Annuity payments are
generally monthly, starting with the Annuity Date, but may also be made
quarterly, semiannually or annually at your request. However, if any payment
would be less than $50, we may change the frequency of annuity payments so that
payments are at least $50 each.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
 
  If the Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Date, we
will pay the beneficiary the greater of (1) the Contract Value for the
valuation period in which proof of death and any other required information
needed to make payment is received at our administrative office; or (2) the sum
of the Fixed Account Value on the date the above information is received at our
administrative office and the net purchase payments and transfers allocated to
the Separate Account (i.e., all purchase payments and transfers to the Separate
Account minus all prior withdrawals and transfers made from the Separate
Account). The death benefit generally will be paid within 7 days after the
Company has sufficient information to make the payment. For a discussion of the
tax treatment of a death benefit, see FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS in this
prospectus.
  If the Contract Owner dies before the age of 80 and if permitted by state
law, an enhanced death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary, if it is
greater than the Contract Value as of the receipt of proof of death and the
necessary information to make a death benefit payment. The enhanced death
benefit is the sum of: (1) the Fixed Account Value, and (2) the net purchase
payments allocated to the Separate Account (as defined in the previous
paragraph) plus interest accumulated at an annual interest rate of 5% through
the Contract Owner's attained age 69, and interest accumulated at an annual
interest rate of 3% for years subsequent to attained age 70.
  If the beneficiary is the Contract Owner's surviving spouse, the surviving
spouse has the right to become the Contract Owner rather than receive the death
benefit.
  Within one year of the date of death, the beneficiary may elect to receive
the death benefit in single sum or in the form of an annuity. If payment is to
be received in a single sum, it must be paid within five years of the date of
death (until paid out, the death benefit will be allocated to subaccounts of
the Separate Account and/or fixed interest options as directed by the
beneficiary). If an annuity is selected, payments must commence within one year
of the date of death and must be made over the beneficiary's life or over a
period not longer than the beneficiary's life expectancy. If an election is not
made within one year of the date of death, the death benefit will be paid to
the beneficiary in a single sum.
  If the Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date and the annuity is for a
specified number of years or for life with payments guaranteed for 10 or 20
years, the beneficiary may elect to have the payments continue for the
specified or guaranteed period or to receive in lump sum the present value of
the remaining payments.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
 
  You may designate a beneficiary in your application. You may change the
beneficiary at any time before your death or the death of the Annuitant,
whichever occurs first.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS
 
  Prior to the Annuity Date, you may transfer amounts from one subaccount of
the Separate Account to another subaccount of the Separate Account. Within
certain additional limitations stated in the Contract, you may also transfer
amounts from the subaccounts of the Separate Account to a fixed interest option
of the Fixed Account prior to the Annuity Date. Transfers may be made from the
Fixed Account to the Variable Account or to another fixed interest option
within the Fixed Account only at the completion of the interest period or
within the 25 days thereafter.
  After the Annuity Date and during an annuity payout period, you may transfer
amounts (upon which the annuity payments are based) from one subaccount of the
Separate Account to another. Upon your death or the death of the Annuitant, a
beneficiary who is receiving annuity payments may transfer amounts among the
subaccounts of the Separate Account.
   
  Transfers will be based on values at the end of the valuation period in which
the transfer request is received at our service office.     
  The minimum amount that may be transferred is $250 or, if less, the amount
held in the subaccount or fixed interest option. In the case of partial
transfers, the amount remaining in the subaccount or fixed interest option must
be at least $250.
   
  A request for transfer must be received at our service office and all other
administrative requirements for transfer must be met to make the transfer. The
Separate Account and the Company will not be liable for following instructions
communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe to be genuine. We require
certain personal identifying information to process a request for transfer made
over the telephone.     
  DOLLAR COST AVERAGING: If you have a Contract Value of at least $10,000, you
may elect to have flat dollar amounts ($100 minimum) transferred monthly or
quarterly from one source account to other accounts ($50 minimum per account).
These transfers may be made only from one of the following accounts: Money
Market Subaccount, Limited Maturity Bond Subaccount, Quality Bond Subaccount,
or One Year Fixed Interest Option. The dollar cost averaging term may run from
12 to 60 months, or until you give notice of a change in allocation or
cancellation of the feature.
  AUTOMATIC REBALANCING: You may elect to have your investments in subaccounts
of the Separate Account automatically rebalanced. We will transfer funds under
your Contract on a quarterly (calendar) basis among the subaccounts to maintain
a specified percentage allocation among your selected variable investment
options. Dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing may not be in effect
at the same time.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITHDRAWALS
 
  Prior to the Annuity Date and prior to the earlier of the death of the
Contract Owner and Annuitant, you may withdraw all or part of your Contract
Value. Withdrawals will be based on values at the end of the valuation period
in which a proper written request for withdrawal (and the Contract, in case of
a full withdrawal) is received at our administrative office. Payment will
normally be made within seven days of receipt of the written request and the
Contract, if required. A withdrawal may result in certain tax consequences,
including an additional 10% tax under certain circumstances. For a discussion
of the tax treatment of withdrawals, see FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS in
this prospectus.
  The minimum withdrawal is $500 or, at the time of the first withdrawal in
each Contract Year, 15% of total purchase payments if less. A partial
withdrawal may be made from a subaccount of the Separate Account only if the
amount remaining in the subaccount is at least $250. If you request a partial
withdrawal without specifying allocation of the withdrawal among investment
options, it will be taken pro rata from the variable subaccounts; if the
partial withdrawal exhausts your Variable Account Value, then any remaining
withdrawal will be taken from the fixed interest options beginning with the One
Year Fixed Interest Option and continuing with the other fixed interest options
in order of ascending duration.
  SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS: You may make a request for a systematic withdrawal if
there is no previous withdrawal in the current contract year. The maximum value
of a systematic withdrawal request is 15% of total purchase payments at the
time of the request. A level systematic withdrawal will begin one modal period
after the date of receipt of the request. The systematic withdrawals may be
made on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. The minimum Contract
Value that is eligible for a systematic withdrawal is $25,000, and the minimum
amount of each withdrawal payment is $50. Payments can be made of either a
fixed dollar amount or of a fixed percentage of purchase payments. The latter
option provides a convenient way to take advantage of the ability to withdraw a
limited percentage of purchase payments without incurring a contingent deferred
sales charge. See FREE WITHDRAWALS below. For a discussion of the tax treatment
of withdrawals, see FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS in this prospectus.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
 
  403(B) WITHDRAWALS: With respect to Contracts qualifying under Section 403(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code, there are certain restrictions on withdrawals.
Withdrawals may be made only if the Contract Owner is over the age of 59 1/2,
leaves the employment of the employer, dies, or becomes disabled as defined in
the Code. Withdrawals (other than withdrawals attributable to income earned on
purchase payments) may also be possible in the case of hardship as defined in
the Code. The restrictions do not apply to transfers among subaccounts and may
also not apply to transfers to other investments qualifying under Section
403(b). For a discussion of the tax treatment of withdrawals under Section
403(b) Contracts, see FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS in this prospectus.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
 
  We reserve the right to defer a withdrawal, a transfer of values or annuity
payments funded by the Separate Account if (a) the New York Stock Exchange is
closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); (b) trading on the
Exchange is restricted; (c) an emergency exists such that it is not reasonably
practical to dispose of securities held in the Separate Account or to determine
the value of its assets; or (d) the Securities and Exchange Commission by order
so permits for the protection of investors. Conditions described in (b) and (c)
will be decided by, or in accordance with rules of, the Commission.

CHARGES
 
  ADMINISTRATION CHARGES: Charges are assessed to reimburse us for the expenses
we incur in administering the Contract and the Separate Account. First, on each
Contract Anniversary prior to the Annuity Date (and any other date the Variable
Account Value is reduced to zero through withdrawal or transfer), we deduct
from the Variable Account Value a contract administration charge of $30 or, if
less, 2% of the Variable Account Value. We will not, however, deduct this
charge if the Variable Account Value is greater than $50,000. The charge is
made by canceling Accumulation Units credited to the Contract, with the charge
allocated pro rata among the subaccounts comprising the Variable Account Value.
Second, we deduct from the Separate Account a daily administration charge equal
to an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the daily net asset value of the
Separate Account. These administration charges are guaranteed not to increase
and are intended to cover our average anticipated administration expenses over
the periods the Contracts are in force.
  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: We deduct a daily mortality and expense
risk charge equal to an effective annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net asset
value of the Separate Account. This charge is to compensate us for the
mortality-related guarantees we make under the Contract (e.g., the death
benefit and the guarantee that the annuity factors will never be decreased even
if mortality experience is substantially different than originally assumed),
and for the risk that our administration charges will be insufficient to cover
administration expenses over the life of the Contracts. The mortality and
expense risk charge is assessed during both the accumulation and variable
annuity pay-out phases of the Contract.
  CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: A contingent deferred sales charge may be
deducted in the event of full or partial withdrawal from the Contract Value
prior to the Annuity Date. This charge is made to cover sales expenses that we
have incurred. Sales expenses which are not covered by the deferred sales
charge are paid from the surplus of the Company, which may include proceeds
from the mortality and expense risk charge.
  A contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable, will be imposed only on a
withdrawal of a purchase payment in cases where the purchase payment was made
within seven years of the date of the withdrawal. The following table shows the
schedule of the contingent deferred sales charge that will be applied to
withdrawal of a purchase payment, after allowing for the free withdrawals which
are described in the next subsection. Purchase payments will be treated as
withdrawn on a first-in, first-out basis.

  The contingent deferred sales charge may be reduced on Contracts sold to a
trustee, employer or similar party pursuant to a retirement plan or to a group
of individuals, if such sales are expected to involve reduced sales expenses.
The amount of reduction will depend upon such factors as the size of the group,
any prior or existing relationship with the purchaser or group, the total
amount of purchase payments and other relevant factors that might tend to
reduce expenses incurred in connection with such sales. The reduction will not
be unfairly discriminatory to any Contract Owner.
 
 FREE WITHDRAWALS:
   
 Seven-Year-Old Purchase Payments. You may withdraw any purchase payment which
was made more than 7 years before the withdrawal without incurring a contingent
deferred sales charge.     
   
 15% Withdrawals. On the last day of the first contract year and once each
contract year thereafter, you may withdraw, without incurring a contingent
deferred sales charge, 15% of total purchase payments. You may take the 15%
free withdrawal on a single sum basis or systematically, but not both. The 15%
free withdrawal amount will be applied to purchase payments on a first-in,
first-out basis. With respect to any withdrawal in excess of the 15% free
withdrawal in a contract year, the contingent deferred sales charge schedule
set forth above will apply to the remainder of the purchase payments so
withdrawn on a first-in, first-out basis. This 15% free withdrawal applies only
to the first withdrawal request made in a contract year (after the first
contract year) and the amount is not cumulative from year to year.     
   
 Medically Related Withdrawal. Subject to applicable state law, after the first
contract year and before the Annuity Date, you may withdraw, without incurring
a contingent deferred sales charge, up to the lesser of $500,000 or your
Contract Value if certain medically related contingencies occur. This free
withdrawal is available if you are (1) first confined in a nursing home or
hospital while this Contract is in force and remain confined for at least 90
days in a row or (2) first diagnosed as having a fatal illness (an illness
expected to result in death within 2 years for 80% of diagnosed cases) while
this Contract is in force. The precise terms and conditions of this benefit are
set forth in the Contract. It is not available if your age at issue is greater
than 75. The medically related contingencies that must be met for free
withdrawal vary in some states.     
   
 Disability Related Withdrawal. You may withdraw, without incurring a
contingent deferred sales charge, part or all of your Contract Value if you
(you or the Annuitant for qualified Contracts) become totally disabled as
defined in the Contract.     
   
 Other Withdrawals. There is no contingent deferred sales charge imposed upon
minimum distributions under qualified contracts which are required by the
Internal Revenue Code.     
 
  PREMIUM TAXES:
 
  Some states and municipalities impose premium taxes on purchase payments
received by insurance companies. Generally, any premium taxes payable will be
deducted upon annuitization, although we reserve the right to deduct such taxes
when due in jurisdictions that impose such taxes on purchase payments.
Currently, state premium taxes on purchase payments range from 0% to 3 1/2%.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
 
  The Company may advertise total return performance and annual changes in
accumulation unit values. We may also provide information on "yields" and
"effective yields" on investments in the Money Market Fund subaccount.
  Information on total return performance will include average annual rates of
total return for one, five and ten year periods, or lesser periods depending on
how long the underlying fund portfolio has been in existence. Such figures are
based on the hypothetical assumption that the Separate Account invested in the
underlying portfolios from the date those portfolios were first available to
other insurance company separate accounts. Average annual total return figures
will show the average annual rates of increase or decrease in investments in
the subaccounts, assuming a hypothetical $1,000 investment at the beginning of
the period, withdrawal of the investment at the end of the period, and the
deduction of all applicable fund and Contract charges. We may also show average
annual rates of total return, assuming other amounts invested at the beginning
of the period and no withdrawal at the end of the period. Average annual total
return figures which assume no withdrawals at the end of the period will
reflect all recurring charges, but will not reflect the contingent deferred
sales charge (if applicable, the contingent deferred sales charge would reduce
the amount that may be withdrawn under the Contracts).
  The "yield" on an investment in the Money Market Fund subaccount refers to
the income generated by the investment over a 7-day period. This income is then
annualized. That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during
that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is
shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated
similarly, but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the
subaccount is
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
 
assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the
yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FIXED INTEREST OPTIONS
 
BECAUSE OF EXEMPTIVE AND EXCLUSIONARY PROVISIONS, INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY'S
GENERAL ACCOUNT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940. THE GENERAL ACCOUNT AND ANY INTERESTS HELD IN
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT ARE THEREFORE NOT SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THESE ACTS.
HENCE THIS PROSPECTUS GENERALLY DISCUSSES ONLY THE VARIABLE PORTION OF THE
CONTRACT. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROSPECTUS RELATING
TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT. DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, MAY BE
SUBJECT TO GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS
RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  GENERAL INFORMATION
 
  Subject to the laws of your state, you may allocate or transfer all or part
of the amount credited to your Contract to one or more of the following fixed
interest options in the Fixed Account: (1) the One Year Fixed Interest Option;
(2) the Three Year Fixed Interest Option; (3) the Five Year Fixed Interest
Option; and (4) the Seven Year Fixed Interest Option. We periodically declare
an effective annual interest rate applicable to allocations to the various
fixed interest options. For each amount allocated to the One Year Fixed
Interest Option, the Three Year Fixed Interest Option, the Five Year Fixed
Interest Option or the Seven Year Fixed Interest Option, we credit interest at
an effective annual interest rate declared by us in the month in which the
allocation is made. The declared rate of interest will apply through the end of
the 12-month, 36-month, 60-month or 84-month period, as applicable, which
begins on the first day of the calendar month in which the allocation is made.
We guarantee an effective annual rate of interest on allocations to all fixed
interest options of not less than 3%. In addition, we guarantee that the rate
credited in the One Year Fixed Interest Option will at least equal the increase
in the cost of living as calculated by the Company; the Company uses for this
purpose a six-month average of the relative change by month in the Consumer
Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
  You may transfer amounts in the Fixed Account to subaccounts of the Separate
Account or to another fixed interest option within the Fixed Account, subject
to the conditions and limitations in the fixed account provisions of your
Contract. A premature withdrawal charge in an amount specified in the Contract
will be deducted from the interest earned on any amount that is withdrawn from
the Three Year Fixed Interest Option, the Five Year Fixed Interest Option or
the Seven Year Fixed Interest Option prior to the expiration of the period for
which the interest rate is guaranteed. Amounts not withdrawn or reallocated
within 25 days after the end of an interest period are rolled over and treated
as a new allocation to the same fixed interest option. The premature withdrawal
charge is not applicable to amounts withdrawn to effect an annuity or to meet
the minimum distribution requirement under the tax laws. Nor will the premature
withdrawal charge be applied to amounts withdrawn due to the death, total
disability, or defined medical confinement or terminal illness of the owner or
annuitant, as specified in the Contract. In no event will the premature
withdrawal charge be greater than the total amount of interest credited to the
applicable fixed interest option. In accordance with state law, we may defer a
withdrawal or transfer from the Fixed Account for up to six months if we
reasonably determine that investment conditions are such that an orderly sale
of assets in the Company's general account is not feasible.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  LOANS UNDER SECTION 403(B) CONTRACTS
 
  Subject to compliance with applicable state law, Contract Owners qualifying
under Section 403(b) of the Code may be able to borrow against a portion of the
amount credited under their Contract, provided the loan privilege has been
approved in the applicable state. The loan will be made from the general
account of the Company. Because this prospectus generally is limited to
describing the variable portion of the Contract, you should review the Contract
loan endorsement or consult your Company representative for a complete
description of the terms of the loan privilege, including minimum and maximum
loan amounts, repayment terms, and restrictions on prepayments. The following
paragraphs describe how exercise of the loan privilege may relate to the
Variable Account Value.
  First, at the time a Contract loan is made and in accordance with your
direction, an amount equal to the initial loan amount will be transferred from
the Contract's investment options to an account in the Company's general
account called the "Restricted Account." Amounts transferred from investment
options to the Restricted Account will not participate in the investment
experience of those investment options. Amounts transferred to the Restricted
Account will generally earn interest at a rate 2 1/2 percentage points less
than the rate of interest charged on the loan.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
 
  Second, on your Contract Anniversary, the accrued interest in the Restricted
Account will be transferred to your investment options in accordance with your
current payment allocation instructions.
  Third, loan repayments, which are due quarterly, will result in the transfer
of an amount equal to the principal portion of the repayment from the
Restricted Account to the Money Market subaccount. You may then transfer
amounts from the Money Market subaccount to the other investment options
offered under the Contract.
  Fourth, if a payment or the entire loan is in default as defined in the
Contract, the Company will report the amount of the default to the Internal
Revenue Service as a taxable distribution and, if you are then under age 59
1/2, as a premature distribution. Subject to restrictions in Section 403(b) of
the Code, the amount of any missed payment, plus interest, or the entire loan
balance, plus interest, if the entire loan is in default, plus any applicable
contingent deferred sales charge, will be withdrawn by us from your investment
options in accordance with your direction in the Loan Request and Agreement. We
will use the net proceeds from the withdrawal to repay the loan. If a
withdrawal is restricted under the Code, the outstanding loan balance will
continue to accrue interest and the amount due will be withdrawn when a
withdrawal becomes permissible. Thus, when an event takes place which makes
withdrawal from the Contract permissible under the Code, such as attainment of
age 59 1/2, disability, or death, we will check the Contract to determine if
there is an outstanding loan balance for which one or more payments have been
missed. If so, we will withdraw from your investment options, in accordance
with your direction in the Loan Request and Agreement, funds necessary to pay
the overdue amount, plus any applicable contingent deferred sales charge. While
a loan balance is outstanding, any withdrawal or death benefit proceeds must
first be used to pay the loan.
  Loans are subject to the terms of your Contract, your Section 403(b) plan and
the Code, and, in the case of plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, the ERISA regulations on plan loans, all of which may
impose restrictions. The Company reserves the right to suspend, modify or
terminate the availability of loans. Where there is a plan fiduciary, it is the
responsibility of the fiduciary to ensure that any Contract loans comply with
plan qualification requirements, including ERISA.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
   
The following brief discussion of federal income tax considerations is based on
the law in effect on the date of this prospectus, which may be changed by
legislative, judicial or administration action. The summary is general in
nature and does not consider any applicable state or local tax laws. For
further information, you should consult qualified tax counsel.     
  Under current law, no federal income taxes are imposed on increases in the
value of a Contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a
withdrawal or death benefit or as annuity payment under an annuity option.
  For a withdrawal or death benefit, the taxable portion is generally the
amount in excess of the cost basis of the Contract. Amounts withdrawn by the
Contract owner or received as a death benefit by the designated beneficiary are
treated first as taxable income to the extent of the excess of the Contract
Value over the purchase payments made under the Contract. Such taxable portion
is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Designation of a beneficiary who is
either 37 1/2 years younger than the Contract Owner or a grandchild of the
Contract Owner may have Generation Skipping Transfer Tax consequences under
Section 2601 of the Internal Revenue Code.
  For annuity payments, the taxable portion is generally determined by a
formula that establishes the ratio of the cost basis of the Contract (as
adjusted for any refund feature) to the expected return under the Contract. The
taxable portion, which is the amount of the annuity payment in excess of the
cost basis, is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.
  An additional income tax of 10% may be imposed on the taxable portion of an
early withdrawal or distribution unless one of several exceptions apply. There
will be no additional income tax on early withdrawals which are part of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than
annually) made for life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives
(or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and a beneficiary, or on
withdrawals made on or after age 59 1/2. There also will be no additional tax
on distributions made after death or on withdrawals attributable to total and
permanent disability. Further, there will be no additional tax on distributions
within certain other exceptions to the general rule.
  The transfer of a Contract may result in the transferor incurring tax. If the
transfer is for less than adequate consideration, the taxable portion would be
the Contract Value at the time of transfer over the investment in the Contract
at such time. This rule does not apply to transfers between spouses or to
transfers incident to a divorce.
  Subject to certain exceptions, a Contract must be held by or on behalf of a
natural person in order to be treated as an annuity contract under federal
income tax law and to be accorded the tax treatment described in the preceding
paragraphs. If a contract is not treated as an annuity contract for federal
income tax purposes, the income on the Contract is treated as ordinary income
received or accrued by the Contract Owner during the taxable year.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
 
  Section 817(h) of the Code provides that the investments of a separate
account underlying a variable annuity contract which is not purchased under a
qualified retirement plan or certain other types of plans (or the investments
of a mutual fund, the shares of which are owned by the variable annuity
separate account) must be "adequately diversified" in order for the Contract to
be treated as an annuity contract for tax purposes. The Treasury Department has
issued regulations prescribing such diversification requirements. The Separate
Account, through each of the available funds of the Penn Series Funds, Inc.,
American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc., Neuberger & Berman Advisers
Management Trust, Variable Insurance Products Fund, Variable Insurance Products
Fund II, and Morgan Stanley Universal Funds, Inc. intends to comply with those
requirements. The requirements are briefly discussed in the accompanying
prospectuses for the underlying funds.
  The Treasury Department has indicated that in regulations or revenue rulings
under Section 817(d) (relating to the definition of a variable contract), it
will provide guidance on the extent to which contract owners may direct their
investments to particular subaccounts without being treated as owners of the
underlying shares. It is possible that when such regulations or rulings are
issued, the Contracts may need to be modified to comply with them.
  The Contracts may be used in connection with retirement plans that qualify
for special tax treatment under the Code. The plans include individual
retirement annuities qualified under Section 408(b) of the Code (referred to as
IRAs), tax deferred annuities qualified under Section 403(b) of the Code,
pension or profit sharing plans for self-employed individuals qualified under
Section 401 of the Code (referred to as H.R. 10 or Keogh plans) and corporate
pension or profit sharing plans qualified under Section 401 of the Code, or
annuity plans qualified under Section 403(a) of the Code. Special provisions
are required in some Contracts for qualification under the Code.
  For some types of qualified retirement plans, there may be no cost basis in
the Contract. In this case, the total payments received may be taxable. Before
purchasing a contract under a qualified retirement plan, the tax law provisions
applicable to the particular plan should be considered.
  Generally, under a nonqualified annuity or individual retirement annuity
qualified under Section 408(b), unless the Contract Owner elects to the
contrary, any amounts that are received under the Contract that the Company
believes are includable in gross income for tax purposes will be subject to
withholding to meet federal income tax obligations. The same treatment will
apply to distributions from a qualified plan or Section 403(b) annuity that are
payable as an annuity for the life or life expectancy of one or more
individuals, or for a period of at least 10 years, or are required minimum
distributions. Other distributions from a qualified plan or a Section 403(b)
annuity are subject to mandatory withholding, unless an election is made to
receive the distribution as a direct rollover to another eligible retirement
plan.
    
  It should be understood that the foregoing description of federal income
taxes is not exhaustive and that special rules and considerations may be
applicable. For further information, a prospective purchaser should consult
qualified tax counsel.

VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT
 
  When a variable annuity is effected, we will first deduct applicable premium
taxes, if any, from the Contract Value. The dollar amount of the first monthly
annuity payment will be determined by applying the net Contract Value to the
annuity table set forth in the contract for the annuity option chosen. The
annuity tables show the amount of the first monthly income payment under each
annuity option for each $1,000 of value applied, based on the Annuitant's age
at the Annuity Date. The annuity tables are based on the 1983 Individual
Annuity Mortality Tables with interest at 3%.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
  The dollar amount of subsequent variable annuity payments will vary in
accordance with the investment experience of the subaccount(s) of the Separate
Account applicable to the annuity. Each subsequent variable annuity payment
will equal the number of annuity units credited, multiplied by the value of the
annuity unit for the valuation period. The Company guarantees that the amount
of each subsequent annuity payment will not be affected by variations in
expense or mortality experience.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY UNITS
 
  For each subaccount selected, the number of annuity units is the amount of
the first annuity payment allocated to the subaccount divided by the value of
an annuity unit for the subaccount on the Annuity Date. The number of your
annuity units will not change as a result of investment experience.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUE OF ANNUITY UNITS
 
  The value of an annuity unit for each subaccount was arbitrarily set at $10
when the subaccount was established. The value may increase or decrease from
one valuation period to the next. For a valuation period, the value of an
annuity unit for a subaccount is the value of an annuity unit for the
subaccount for the last prior valuation period multiplied by the net investment
factor for the subaccount for the valuation period. The result is then
multiplied by a factor to neutralize an assumed interest rate of 3% built into
the annuity tables.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
 
  For any subaccount, the net investment factor for a valuation period is
determined by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c):
WHERE (A) IS:
  The net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the subaccount, as
  of the end of the valuation period
  plus
  ----
  The per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions by the
  mutual fund if the "ex-dividend" date occurs in the valuation period
  plus or minus
  -------------
  A per share charge or credit, as we may determine as of the end of the
  valuation period, for provision for taxes (if applicable).
WHERE (B) IS:
  The net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the subaccount as
  of the end of the last prior valuation period
  plus or minus
  -------------
  The per share charge or credit for provision for taxes as of the end of the
  last prior valuation period (if applicable).
WHERE (C) IS:
  The sum of the mortality and expense risk charge and the daily
  administration charge. On an annual basis, the sum of such charges equals
  1.40% of the daily net asset value of the subaccount.

ASSUMED INTEREST RATE
 
  A 3% assumed annual interest rate is included in the annuity tables in the
contracts. A higher assumption would mean a higher first annuity payment but
more slowly rising or more rapidly falling subsequent payments. A lower
assumption would have the opposite effect. If the actual net investment rate is
3% on an annual basis, annuity payments will be level.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUATION PERIOD
 
  Valuation period is the period from one valuation of underlying fund assets
to the next. Valuation is performed each day the New York Stock Exchange is
open for trading.

  The average annual rates of total return shown in Table 1 are computed by
finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the periods shown
that would equate the initial amount invested to the withdrawal value, in
accordance with the following formula: P(1 + T)n = ERV. In the formula, P is a
hypothetical investment payment of $1,000; T is the average annual total
return; n is the number of years; and ERV is the withdrawal value at the end of
the periods shown. The $30 annual contract administration charge is reflected
assuming an anticipated average Contract Value and assuming that the Contract
Value is allocated equally across all available subaccounts by an average
contract owner.

(g) Average Annual Total Return for period May 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997     

  The average annual rates of total return shown in Tables 2 and 3 are computed
by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the periods shown
that would equate the initial amount invested to the Contract Value at the end
of the periods shown, in accordance with the following formula: P(1 + T)n = FV.
In the formula, P is a hypothetical investment of $1,000 in Table 2 and $10,000
in Table 3; T is the average annual total return; n is the number of years; and
FV is the Contract Value at the end of the periods shown. The $30 annual
contract administrative charge is reflected assuming an anticipated average
Contract Value and assuming that the average Contract Value is allocated
equally across all available subaccounts by an average contract owner. The
average annual rates of total returns reflect all recurring charges, but do not
reflect the contingent deferred sales charge ranging from 6% to 1% which, if
applicable, would reduce the amount that may be withdrawn under the Contract.

YIELDS (MONEY MARKET FUND)
 
  From time to time, advertisements and sales literature may quote the current
or effective yield of the Money Market subaccount.
    
  The "yield" and "effective yield" of the Money Market Fund subaccount for the
seven days ended December 31, 1997 were 3.27% and 3.32%, respectively.     
  The yield is computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital
changes, in the value of a hypothetical preexisting account having a balance of
one accumulation unit of the subaccount at the beginning of the period,
subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from contract owner
accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and then
multiplying the base period return by (365/7) with the resulting figure carried
to at least the nearest hundredth of 1%. The hypothetical charge reflects
deductions from contract owners' accounts in proportion to the length of the
base period. The $30 annual contract administrative charge is reflected
assuming an anticipated average Contract Value and assuming that the average
Contract Value is allocated equally across all available subaccounts by an
average contract owner.
  The effective yield is obtained by taking the base period return as computed
above, and then compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising the sum
to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the result,
according to the following formula: Effective Yield = [(base period return + 1)
365/7] - 1.
  The yields do not reflect the contingent deferred sales charge ranging from
6% to 1%. The deferred sales charge may or may not be applicable to a
withdrawal from a Contract, depending on when the withdrawal is made.
  THE YIELDS ON AMOUNTS HELD IN THE MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNT NORMALLY WILL
FLUCTUATE ON A DAILY BASIS. THEREFORE, THE STATED YIELDS FOR ANY GIVEN PERIOD
ARE NOT AN INDICATION OR REPRESENTATION OF FUTURE YIELDS.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
   
The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company and Contract Owners of PIA Variable
Annuity Account I--Pennant     
   
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of PIA

Fund, Quality Bond Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Value Equity
Fund, Flexibly Managed Fund, Small Capitalization Fund, International Equity
Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, Balanced Portfolio, Limited Maturity Bond
Portfolio, Partners Portfolio, Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Equity Income
Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Asset Manager Portfolio, Index 500 Portfolio, and
Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio) as of December 31, 1997, and the related
statements of operations and the changes in net assets for the year or period
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management
of PIA Variable Annuity Account I--Pennant. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial
statements of PIA Variable Annuity Account I--Pennant for the year ended
December 31, 1996, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 7,
1997, 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 1997 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective
portfolios constituting the PIA Variable Annuity Account I--Pennant at December
31, 1997, the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for
the year or period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE PENN INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
WILMINGTON, DELAWARE
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of The Penn Insurance and
Annuity Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company) as of December 31, 1997, and the related income statement, statement
of changes in stockholder's equity and statement of cash flow for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Company as of
December 31, 1996 and for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 1996 were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 31, 1997
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an
explanatory paragraph that disclosed the Company's adoption of several
accounting principles which were not previously required to be adopted. These
changes are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial 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 1997 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of The Penn Insurance and
Annuity Company as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

with generally accepted accounting principles.     
   
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements in 1996, the Company adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 40 (FIN 40) and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 120 (SFAS 120), which required
implementation of several accounting pronouncements not previously adopted. The
effects of adopting FIN 40 and SFAS 120 were retroactively applied to the
Company's previously issued financial statements, consistent with the
implementation guidance of those standards.

THE PENN INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)
 
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company") was founded in 1980 and
commenced business in 1981 as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Penn Mutual Life
Insurance Company ("Penn Mutual"). The Company currently concentrates primarily
in the sale of individual annuity products, both fixed and variable. The
Company sells its products through Penn Mutual's distribution systems, which
consist of a network of career agents, independent agents and independent
marketing organizations. Additionally, it has a significant amount of universal
life insurance business in force, although the Company no longer sells these
products. The Company is licensed to do business in forty-seven states and the
District of Columbia.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes to the financial
statements.
 
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
As of January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 40 (FIN 40), "Applicability of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles to Mutual Life Insurance and Other Enterprises" as amended by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 120, "Accounting and
Reporting by Mutual Life Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration
Participating Contracts". The initial effect of applying these pronouncements
has been reported retroactively, as of January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 120 requires
financial statements referred to as prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to apply all applicable authoritative
GAAP pronouncements. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 120, statutory financial
statements were permitted to be referred to as being prepared in accordance
with GAAP. The significant GAAP authoritative pronouncements requiring initial
application were as follows:
 
 . SFAS No. 60, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises,"
 
 . SFAS No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain
  Long Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of
  Investments,"
 
 . SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
 
 . SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and
  Long-Duration Contracts".
 
The cumulative effect of applying SFAS No. 120 and FIN 40 primarily consists of
the initial deferral of acquisition costs, the establishment of deferred taxes,
the change in methodology for insurance reserves, and the elimination of the
statutory asset valuation reserve and interest maintenance reserve and the
establishment of investment valuation allowances. In connection with the
adoption of FIN 40, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Debt and Equity Securities" as of January 1, 1994.
 
As a result of the change in accounting principles, net income as previously
reported, has been restated as follows:

</TABLE>
 
INVESTMENTS
 
Debt securities (bonds, notes, redeemable preferred stocks and mortgage-backed
securities) which might be sold prior to maturity are classified as available
for sale. These securities are carried at fair value, with the change in
unrealized gains and losses reported through a separate component of equity.
Interest on debt securities is credited to income as it is earned.
 
Equity securities are classified as available for sale and carried at fair
value. Dividends on equity securities are credited to income on their ex-
dividend dates.
 
The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of debt and equity
securities based on current economic conditions, past credit loss experience
and other circumstances of the investee. A decline in a security's fair value
that is deemed to be other than temporary is treated as a realized loss and a
reduction in the cost basis of the security.
 
Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of
unamortized discounts and valuation allowances. Valuation allowances on
impaired loans are based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or the collateral
value if the loan is collateral dependent. However, if foreclosure is or
becomes probable, the measurement method used is collateral value.
 
Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair
value less selling costs. Valuation reserves are established for properties
held for sale when the fair value less estimated selling costs is below
depreciated cost.
 
Policy loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances.
 
Short-term investments include securities purchased with a maturity date of 90
days to less than one year. Short-term investments are valued at cost.
 
Realized gains and losses are determined by specific identification and are
included in income on the trade date. Unrealized gains and losses, net of
appropriate taxes and amortization of deferred acquisition costs, are accounted
for as a separate component of stockholder's equity.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market instruments and
other debt securities with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.
 
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS
 
Costs of acquiring new insurance and annuity contracts, which vary with and are
primarily related to the production of new business, have been deferred to the
extent that such costs are deemed recoverable from future gross profits. Such
costs include commissions, certain costs of policy issuance and underwriting,
and certain variable agency expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

Deferred acquisition costs related to universal life insurance policies and
annuity products, without mortality risk, that include significant surrender
charges, are being amortized over the lesser of the estimated or actual
contract life in proportion to estimated gross profits arising principally from
interest, mortality, expense margins and surrender charges. The effects on
amortization of deferred acquisition costs of revisions to estimated gross
profits are reflected in earnings in the period such estimated gross profits
are revised. Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed to determine that the
unamortized portion of such costs are still recoverable from future estimated
gross profits. Certain costs and expenses reported in the Income Statements are
net of amounts deferred.
 
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
 
Separate Account assets and liabilities represent segregated funds administered
and invested by the Company primarily for the benefit of variable annuity and
pension contractholders. The value of the assets in the Separate Accounts
reflects the actual investment performance of the respective accounts and is
not guaranteed by the Company. The carrying value for Separate Account assets
and liabilities approximates the estimated fair value of the underlying assets.
 
INSURANCE LIABILITIES AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
 Riders on Universal Life Policies and Life Contingent Annuity Products
 
Future policy benefits include reserves for riders on universal life insurance
policies and life contingent annuity products and are established in amounts
adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of the policies in force.
Liabilities for these riders are unearned cost of insurance charges using
statutory assumptions for investment yields and mortality. Interest rate
assumptions used in the calculation of the liabilities for universal life
riders ranged from 3.5% to 4.5%. Premiums are recognized as income when due.
Death benefits are reported in expense as incurred.
 
Liabilities for the life contingent annuity products are computed by estimating
future benefits and expenses. Assumptions are based on Company experience
projected at the time of policy issue, with provision for adverse deviations.
Interest rate assumptions range from 6.04% to 13.25%. Premiums are recognized
as income as they are received. Death and surrender benefits are reported in
expense as incurred.
 
 Universal Life and Other Annuity Products
 
Other policyholder funds represent liabilities for universal life products and
investment--type annuity products. The liabilities for these products are based
on the contract account value which consists of deposits received from
customers and investment earnings on the account value, less administrative and
expense charges. The liability for universal life products is also reduced by
mortality charges. Liabilities for the non-life contingent annuity products are
computed by estimating future benefits and expenses. Assumptions are based on
Company experience projected at the time of policy issue. Interest rate
assumptions range from 5.35% to 7.85%.
 
Contract charges assessed against account value for universal life and
investment--type annuities are reflected as policy fee income in revenue.
Interest credited to account values and universal life benefit claims in excess
of fund values are reflected as benefit expense.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its parent,
Penn Mutual. Federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based
upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable
operations for the current year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
established to reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount
of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such
amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred tax assets or liabilities
are measured by using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the period in which the deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to
be settled or realized.

REINSURANCE
 
In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to
loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding
reinsurance to other insurance enterprises or reinsurers under excess coverage
and coinsurance contracts. The Company has set its retention limit for
acceptance of risk on life insurance policies at various levels up to $100 with
over one-half of its life insurance in force ceded to Penn Mutual.
 
Insurance liabilities are reported before the effects of reinsurance.
Reinsurance receivables (including amounts related to insurance liabilities)
are reported as assets. Estimated reinsurance receivables are recognized in a
manner consistent with the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured
contracts.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
Certain 1996 and 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997
presentation.

DEBT SECURITIES
 
The following tables summarize the Company's investment in debt securities,
including redeemable preferred stocks. All debt securities are classified as
available for sale and are carried at estimated fair value. The Company did not
writedown any securities for other than temporary declines in value as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996.

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain
borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or
prepayment penalties. Mortgage and other asset-backed securities are presented
separately in the maturity schedule due to the potential for prepayment. The
weighted average life of these securities is 5.1 years.
 
At December 31, 1997, the Company held $268,162 in mortgage and other asset-
backed securities. The structured securities portfolio consists of commercial
and residential mortgage pass-through holdings totaling $241,159 and securities
backed by credit card receivables, auto loans, home equity and manufactured
housing loans totaling $27,003. These securities follow a structured principal
repayment schedule and are of high credit quality. Securities totaling $221,858
are rated AAA and include $2,340 of interest only tranches that were retained
from the securitization of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio.
 
At December 31, 1997, the largest industry concentration of the Company's
portfolio was investments in the finance industry of $136,547, representing 21%
of the total debt portfolio.
 
Effective November 30, 1995, the Company adopted the implementation guidance
contained in the Financial Accounting Series Special Report, "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities." As a result of adopting this guidance, the Company
reclassified all of its held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale based
upon a reassessment of the appropriateness of the classifications of all
securities held at that time. The amortized cost and net unrealized gain of the
securities reclassified were $51,990 and $1,888, respectively, at November 30,
1995.
 
Proceeds during 1997, 1996 and 1995 from sales of available for sale securities
were $142,773, $118,240 and $41,062. Gross gains and gross losses realized on
those sales were $1,653 and $921, respectively, during 1997, $2,138 and $363,
respectively, during 1996 and $2,453 and $133, respectively, for 1995. The
change in net unrealized gains/(losses) on debt securities classified as
available for sale included as a separate component of stockholder's equity was
$15,127, $(9,283) and $28,269 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
The Company's investment portfolio of debt securities is predominantly
comprised of investment grade securities. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, debt
securities with amortized cost totaling $15,302 and $22,476, respectively, were
less than investment grade. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company's debt
portfolio did not include any securities which are either in default as to
principal and/or interest payments, are to be restructured pursuant to
commenced negotiations or are in situations where the borrowers went into
bankruptcy subsequent to acquisition (collectively, "problem debt securities").
The Company did not hold any debt securities which were non-income producing
for the preceding twelve months as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.
 
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company held no debt securities with
restructured or modified terms.
 
EQUITY SECURITIES
 
During 1997, the proceeds from the sales of equity securities amounted to
$3,747, with gross gains of $177. There were no sales of equity securities
during 1996. During 1995, the proceeds from sales of equity securities amounted
to $479. The gross gains and gross losses realized on those sales were $1 and
$84.

On August 29, 1996, in conjunction with its parent, the Company securitized the
majority of its mortgage loan portfolio by transferring the loans to a trust
which qualifies as a REMIC (Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit) under the
Internal Revenue Code. Prior to transferring the loans with a principal value
of $65,852 and a book value of $65,821, the loans were written down to a fair
market value of $63,466, and a related reserve of $2,355 was released. The
trust issued sixteen classes of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
with a total par value of $65,651. The certificates evidence the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the trust. The cash flow from the mortgages
will be used to repay the certificates over an average life of 4.28 years. The
actual date on which the principal amount of the notes may be paid in full
could be substantially earlier or later based on performance of the mortgages.
The cash flows of the assets of the trust will be the sole source of payments
on the notes. The Company has not guaranteed these certificates or the mortgage
loans held by the trust.
 
The Company retained the highest quality classes of certificates with a par
value of $60,071 and a fair market value of $61,683 at the time of the
securitization. As of December 31, 1997, the par value and fair value of these
securities was $47,891 and $50,169, respectively. The Company sold the lowest
rated classes of certificates with a par value of $5,581 and a fair market
value of $2,086.
 
The mortgage loans which were not included in the securitization and were
retained by the Company had a book value of $19,075 with a related reserve of
$2,971 and an estimated fair value of $16,354 on the date of the
securitization. Loans which the Company intends to dispose of within a period
of 6 to 24 months were written down to their estimated net realizable value.
These loans had a book value of $16,389 and an estimated net realizable value
of $13,668. The writedown of $2,721 was fully offset by a release in mortgage
loss reserve. As of December 31, 1997, the Company did not hold any of these
loans. The Company intends to hold mortgage loans with a book value of $2,686
on the date of the securitization through their remaining terms. As of December
31, 1997, the Company held $2,503 of these loans. The Company discontinued the
origination of commercial mortgage loans in 1996.
 
The following tables summarize the carrying value of mortgage loans, by
property type and geographic concentration, at December 31.

The estimated fair values for the Company's investments in debt and equity
securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. In situations
where market prices are not readily available, primarily private placements,
fair values are estimated using a formula pricing method based on fair values
of securities with similar characteristics. The estimated fair value of
currently performing mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the cash flows
associated with the investment, using an interest rate currently offered for
similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar
credit quality, characteristics and time to maturity are aggregated for
purposes of discounted cash flow analysis. Assumptions regarding credit risk,
cash flows and discount rates are determined using the available market and
borrower-specific information. The estimated fair value for non-performing
loans is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate, which
is based on recent appraisals or other estimation techniques. The estimated
fair value of policy loans is calculated by discounting estimated future cash
flows using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans. Loans
with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.
The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments
approximate their fair values. The statement values of other policyholder funds
and separate account liabilities approximate their fair values.
 
The fair values of the Company's liabilities for individual annuities are
estimated by discounting the cash flows associated with the contracts, using an
interest rate currently offered for similar contracts with maturities similar
to those remaining for the contracts being valued. The statement values of
other policyholder funds and separate account liabilities approximate their
fair values.
 
Currently, disclosure of estimated fair values is not required for all the
Company's assets and liabilities. Therefore, presentation of the estimated fair
value of a significant portion of assets without a corresponding valuation of
liabilities associated with insurance contracts can be misinterpreted. The
estimated fair values of liabilities under all of the Company's contracts are
considered in the overall management of interest rate risk. The continuing
management of the relationship between the maturities of the Company's
investments and the amounts due under insurance contracts reduces the Company's
exposure to changing interest rates.
 
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its interest sensitive
products. The Company's investment strategy is designed to minimize interest
risk by managing the durations and anticipated cash flows of the Company's
assets and liabilities.
 
In the normal course of business, the Company loans securities under
arrangements in which collateral is obtained in amounts greater than the
current market value of loaned securities. This collateral is held in the form
of cash, cash equivalents or securities issued or guaranteed by the United
States Government. The Company is at risk to the extent the value of loaned
securities exceeds the value of the collateral obtained. The Company controls
this risk by requiring collateral of the highest quality and requiring that
additional collateral be deposited when the market value of loaned securities
increases in relation to the collateral held or the value of the collateral
held decreases in relation to the value of the loaned securities. The Company
had loaned securities outstanding of $12,275 and $0 as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES:
 
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes whereby current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred taxes are adjusted to
reflect tax rates at which future tax liabilities or assets are expected to be
settled or realized.
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact for financial statement reporting
purposes of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The significant temporary
differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities at
December 31 relate to the following:

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of a mutual life insurance company, the Company is
subject to Internal Revenue Code provisions which require mutual, but not
stock, life insurance companies to include the Differential Earnings Amount
(DEA) in each year's taxable income. This amount is computed by multiplying the
Company's average taxable equity base by a prescribed rate, which is intended
to reflect the difference between stock and mutual companies' earnings rates.
 
The Internal Revenue Service has examined Penn Mutual's income tax returns
through the year 1990 and is currently examining years 1991 through 1994.
Management believes that an adequate provision has been made for any potential
assessments.

THE PENN INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)
 
NOTE 6 - REINSURANCE:
 
The Company has assumed and ceded reinsurance on certain life and annuity
contracts under various agreements. Reinsurance permits recovery of a portion
of losses from reinsurers, although the Company remains primarily liable as the
direct insurer on all risks reinsured. The Company evaluates the financial
strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial
condition of present reinsurers to ensure that amounts due from reinsurers are
collectable. The table below highlights the amounts shown in the accompanying
financial statements.

</TABLE>
 
During 1995, the Company had gross premiums of $5,728 and gross benefits of
$15,421, assumed benefits of $8,971 and ceded benefits of $13,812.
 
The Company assumes and cedes certain risks under reinsurance agreements with
Penn Mutual. Net life insurance in-force assumed from Penn Mutual totaled
$351,000 and $327,897 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
Company maintained reserves related to these policies of $239,446 and $243,426
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net premium and annuity
considerations assumed in connection with these agreements were $7,009 and
$7,160 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net premium and annuity considerations
assumed in 1995 were $8,799.
 
The Company's intercompany yearly renewable term (YRT) reinsurance treaty with
its parent, Penn Mutual, to which the Company cedes some of the risk, was
modified during 1995 to reflect an experience refund from Penn Mutual in the
amount of 75% of any reinsurance gain that is generated on the products
involved in the reinsurance agreement. As a result of the change to this
reinsurance treaty, $3,831, $4,461 and $2,257 was received by the Company from
Penn Mutual as an experience rating refund in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
During 1995, the Company recaptured its single premium immediate annuity
business which it had previously ceded entirely to Penn Mutual. The transaction
resulted in the transfer of $31,314 of invested assets and policyholder
liabilities from Penn Mutual to the Company. In addition, the Company has
recognized $31,314 in reinsurance income as a result of this transaction that
is reflected in other income in 1995 and correspondingly in the increase in
liability for future policy benefits in the Income Statement.
 
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
The Company's parent has undertaken to provide sufficient financial support so
that the Company will have adequate capital and surplus as required by
applicable laws to meet its obligation to its policyholders under the terms of
the Company's policies and contracts.
 
Under the terms of an expense allocation agreement, the Company reimbursed Penn
Mutual for services and facilities provided on behalf of the Company, including
direct and allocated expenses. For 1997, 1996 and 1995, the total expenses
incurred under this agreement were $8,245, $8,915 and $6,738, respectively.
 
State insurance laws limit the amount of dividends that the Company may pay to
Penn Mutual.

THE PENN INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
The Company and its parent are respondents in a number of proceedings, some of
which involve extra-contractual damage in addition to other damages. In
addition, insurance companies are subject to assessments, up to statutory
limits, by state guaranty funds for losses of policyholders of insolvent
insurance companies. In the opinion of management, the outcome of the
proceedings and assessments are not likely to have a material adverse effect on
the financial position of the Company.
 
The Company, in the ordinary course of business, extends commitments relating
to its investment activities. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had
no outstanding commitments relating to these investment activities.
 
NOTE 9 - STATUTORY INFORMATION:
 
State insurance regulatory authorities prescribe or permit statutory accounting
practices for calculating net income and capital and surplus which differ in
certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The
significant differences relate to deferred acquisition costs, which are charged
to expenses as incurred; federal income taxes, which reflect amounts that are
currently taxable; and benefit reserves, which are determined using prescribed
mortality, morbidity and interest assumptions, and which, when considered in
light of the assets supporting these reserves, adequately provide for
obligations under policies and contracts. In addition, the recording of
impairments in the value of investments under statutory accounting principles
generally lags recognition under GAAP.
 
The company's statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$100,812, and $82,102, respectively. The company's net income, determined in
accordance with statutory accounting practices, for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $16,747, $15,917 and $10,276, respectively.

Item 27.  Number of Contract Owners
          -------------------------

          As of March 1, 1998, there were:
          2,573  owners of qualified individual variable annuity contracts
          2,174 owners of nonqualified individual variable annuity contracts

Item 28.  Indemnification
          ---------------

          Article 4.1 of the By-laws of The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company
          provides as follows: "The Company shall indemnify any person who was
          or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
          pending or completed action, suit or proceeding either civil,
          criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that
          he is or was a Director, Officer or employee of the Company or is or
          was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or
          employee of another enterprise against expenses (including attorneys'
          fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
          reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
          proceeding to the extent that such person is not otherwise indemnified
          and the power to do so has been or may be granted by statute. For this
          purpose the Board of Directors may, and on request of any such person
          shall be required to, determine in each case whether or not the
          applicable standards in any such statute have been met, or such
          determination shall be made by independent legal counsel, if the Board
          so directs or if the Board is not empowered by statute to make such
          determination." Article 4.2 further provides that the foregoing
          indemnification provision is not exclusive, and Article 4.3 authorizes
          the Board to purchase at the Company's expense insurance and to give
          other indemnification to the extent permitted by law.

          Selling Agreements entered into by The Penn Insurance and Annuity
          Company ("PIA") and its affiliate, Hornor, Townsend & Kent, Inc.
          ("HTK") with securities brokers and insurance agents generally provide
          for indemnification of PIA and HTK and their directors and officers in
          the event of liability resulting from unauthorized acts of the brokers
          and insurance agents.

          Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
          Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
          persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
          otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
          Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
          public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
          unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
          incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
          registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
          proceeding) is asserted by such 


                                      C-8
<PAGE>
 
          director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
          securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
          opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
          precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
          whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
          expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
          such issue.

Item 29.  Principal Underwriters
          ----------------------

          Hornor, Townsend & Kent, Inc. serves as principal underwriter of the
          securities of the Securities Registrant.

          Hornor, Townsend & Kent, Inc. serves as principal underwriter for
          Addison Capital Shares, Inc., a registered investment company, and for
          variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts issued by Penn
