Insurance Policy issued by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp.                P.O. Box
                                                         81889/Lincoln, NE 68501
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This prospectus describes a survivorship flexible premium variable universal
life insurance Policy ("Policy"), issued by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp.
("Ameritas"), that pays a Death Benefit upon the Second Death. There is no
benefit payable on the death of the first Insured. Like traditional life
insurance policies, a Policy provides Death Benefits to Beneficiaries and gives
you, the Policy Owner, the opportunity to increase the Policy's value. Unlike
traditional policies, the Policy lets you vary the frequency and amount of
premium payments, rather than follow a fixed premium payment schedule. It also
lets you change the level of Death Benefits as often as once each year.

A Policy is different from traditional life insurance policies in another
important way: you select how Policy premiums will be invested. Although each
Policy Owner is guaranteed a minimum Death Benefit, the value of the Policy, as
well as the actual Death Benefit, will vary with the performance of investments
you select.

The investment options available through the Policy include investment
portfolios from Calvert Variable Series, Inc. Ameritas Portfolios ("Ameritas
Portfolios"); Deutsche Asset Management VIT Funds ("Deutsche VIT"); Calvert
Variable Series, Inc. ("CVS Social Portfolios"); Variable Insurance Products
Fund, Variable Insurance Products Fund II, Variable Insurance Products Fund III
(collectively, "Fidelity Portfolios"); Neuberger Berman Advisers Management
Trust ("Neuberger Berman AMT"); and Rydex Variable Trust ("Rydex") (collectively
the "Funds"). Each of these portfolios has its own investment objective and
policies. These are described in the prospectuses for each investment portfolio
which must accompany this prospectus. You may also choose to allocate premium
payments to the Fixed Account managed by Ameritas.

A Policy will be issued after Ameritas accepts a prospective Policy Owner's
application. Generally, an application must specify a Death Benefit no less than
$100,000. These Policies are available to cover individuals between the ages of
20 and 90 at the time of purchase, although at least one of the individuals must
be no older than 85. A Policy, once purchased, may generally be canceled within
10 days after you receive it.

This prospectus is designed to assist you in understanding the opportunity and
risks associated with the purchase of a Policy. Prospective Policy Owners are
urged to read the prospectus carefully and retain it for future reference.

This prospectus includes a summary of the most important features of the Policy,
information about Ameritas, a list of the investment portfolios to which you may
allocate premium payments, and a detailed description of the Policy. The
appendix to the prospectus includes tables designed to illustrate how values and
Death Benefits may change with the investment experience of the Investment
Options.

This prospectus must be accompanied by a prospectus for each of the investment
portfolios available through the Policy.

Although the Policy is designed to provide life insurance, a Policy is
considered to be a security. It is not a deposit with, an obligation of, or
guaranteed or endorsed by any banking institution, nor is it insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
agency. The purchase of a Policy involves investment risk, including the
possible loss of principal. For this reason, this Policy may not be suitable for
all individuals. It may not be advantageous to purchase a Policy as a
replacement for another type of life insurance or as a way to obtain additional
insurance protection if the purchaser already owns another survivorship flexible
premium variable universal life insurance policy.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAS APPROVED THESE SECURITIES, OR DETERMINED THAT THIS
PROSPECTUS IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A

                                 LIVING BENEFITS

 You may make partial withdrawals, subject to certain restrictions. The Death
 Benefit will be reduced by the amount of the partial withdrawal. Ameritas
 guarantees up to 15 free transfers between the Investment Options each Policy
 Year. Under current practice, unlimited free transfers are permitted.

 You may Surrender the Policy at any time for its Net Cash Surrender Value.

 Accelerated payment of up to 50% of the lowest scheduled Death Benefit is
 available under certain conditions if the surviving Insured is suffering from
 terminal illness.

                              RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Loans may be available on a more favorable interest rate basis after the tenth
Policy Year. Should the Policy lapse while loans are outstanding, the portion of
the loan attributable to earnings will become taxable distributions. (See page
23.) You may Surrender the Policy or make a partial withdrawal and take values
as payments under one or more of five different payment options.

                                 DEATH BENEFITS

Generally, Death Benefit income is income tax free to the Beneficiary. The
Beneficiary may be paid a lump sum or may select any of the five payment
methods available as retirement benefits.

SUMMARY
The following summary is intended to highlight the most important features of
the Policy that you, as a prospective Policy Owner, should consider. You will
find more detailed information in the main portion of the prospectus;
cross-references are provided for your convenience. Capitalized terms are
defined in the Definitions section that begins on page 3 of this prospectus.
This summary and all other parts of this prospectus are qualified in their
entirety by the terms of the Policy, which is available upon request from
Ameritas.

WHO IS THE ISSUER OF A POLICY?
Ameritas issues the Policy. The Policy is available for individuals and for
corporations and other institutions who wish to provide coverage and benefits
for key employees. A separate account of Ameritas, Separate Account LLVL has
been established to hold the assets supporting the Policy. Separate Account LLVL
has 26 Subaccounts which correspond to, and are invested in, the portfolios of
the Funds discussed herein. (See the section on Ameritas, the Separate Account
and the Funds.) The financial statements for Ameritas can be found beginning on
page F-II-1.

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER PURCHASING A POLICY?
The primary purpose of a Policy is to provide life insurance protection on the
two Insureds named in the Policy. This means that, so long as the Policy is in
force, it will provide for:

- - payment of a Death Benefit, which will never be less than the Specified Amount
  the Policy Owner selects (See the section on Death Benefit Options.)

- - Policy loan, Surrender and withdrawal features (See the section on Policy
  Rights.)

A Policy also includes an investment component. This means that, so long as the
Policy is in force, you will be responsible for selecting the manner in which
Net Premiums will be invested. Thus, the value of a Policy will reflect your
investment choices over the life of the Policy.

WHAT ARE THE OTHER CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH OWNERSHIP OF A POLICY?
Certain states impose premium and other taxes in connection with insurance
policies such as the Policy. Ameritas may deduct up to 3% of each premium as a
Percent of Premium Charge for Taxes. Currently, 3% is deducted for this purpose.

Charges are deducted against the Accumulation Value to cover the Cost of
Insurance under the Policy and to compensate Ameritas for administering each
individual Policy. These charges, which are part of the Monthly Deduction, are
calculated and paid on each Monthly Activity Date. The Cost of Insurance is
calculated based on risk factors relating to the Insureds as reflected in
relevant actuarial tables. The

Administrative Expense Charges may be based on your Specified Amount and the
Policy duration. The current Administrative Expense Charge is $0 per month plus
$.10 per month per $1000 of Specified Amount for Issue Ages 20-44, $.08 for
Issue Ages 45-54, $.05 for Issue Ages 55-64, and $.00 for Issue Ages 65 and
over. At the current time we anticipate the Administrative Expense Charge will
reduce to $.00 in year 6 for all ages. The Administrative Expense Charge may be
levied throughout the life of the Policy and is guaranteed not to increase above
$9 per month plus $.10 per month per $1000 of Specified Amount for Issue Ages
20-44, $.08 for Issue Ages 45-64 and $.05 for Issue Ages 65 and over. Ameritas
does not expect to make any profit from the Administrative Expense Charge.

For its services in administering Separate Account LLVL and Subaccounts and as
compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks, Ameritas is also
entitled to receive fees. These fees are calculated daily during the first 15
years of each Policy, at a combined annual rate of 0.60% of the value of the net
assets of Separate Account LLVL. After the 15th Policy Anniversary Date, the
combined annual rate will decrease to .30% of the daily net assets of Separate
Account LLVL. No Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be deducted from the
amounts in the Fixed Account. (See the section on Daily Charges Against the
Separate Account.)

(1) Ameritas Investment Corp. ("AIC"), a subsidiary of Ameritas, is investment
    advisor to the Ameritas Portfolios. The portfolio's aggregate expenses are
    limited for a period of one year following November 1, 1999. Following this
    one year period, expenses of the Ameritas Portfolios will not be permitted
    to exceed an expense ratio which is .10% greater than the prior expense
    ratio of the corresponding replaced fund, unless an amendment to the
    investment advisory contract is approved modifying or eliminating the
    expense guarantee. Total expenses, both before and after waivers and/or
    reimbursements, have been restated to reflect the above.

(2) Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of Ameritas, is
    investment advisor of the CVS Social Portfolios. "Other Expenses" reflect an
    indirect fee. Net fund operating expenses after reductions for fees paid
    indirectly would be as follows:

</TABLE>

(3) Total expenses have been restated to reflect expenses expected to be
    incurred in 2000, resulting from a change in 1999 to the administrative
    agreement, as approved by the shareholders.

(4) Bankers Trust Company is the investment advisor to Deutsche VIT. For its
    services, the investment advisor receives a fee that is a percentage of each
    fund's average daily net assets. The investment advisor has entered into
    agreements to waive and/or reimburse operating expenses, including its fees,
    that exceed certain percentages of the funds' aggregate average daily net
    assets. Any differences in amounts are due to rounding.

(5) Fidelity Management & Research Company is manager of the Fidelity
    Portfolios.

(6) A portion of the brokerage commissions VIP Contrafund: Service Class pays
    was used to reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the
    fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances
    were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. After these
    reductions, the total operating expenses presented in the table would have
    been 0.75%.

(7) Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("NBMI") provides investment management
    services to each Neuberger Berman AMT Series that include, among other
    things, making and implementing investment decisions and providing
    facilities and personnel necessary to operate the Series. NBMI provides
    administrative services to each portfolio that include furnishing similar
    facilities and personnel to the portfolio. With the portfolio's consent,
    NBMI is authorized to subcontract some of its responsibilities under its
    administration agreement with the portfolio to third parties.

    Each portfolio bears all expenses of its operations other than those borne
    by NBMI as administrator of the portfolio and as distributor of its shares.
    Each series bears all expenses of its operations other than those borne by
    NBMI as investment manager of the series. These expenses include, but are
    not limited to, for the portfolios and the series, legal and accounting fees
    and compensation for trustees

    who are not affiliated with NBMI; for the portfolios, transfer agent fees
    and the cost of printing and sending reports and proxy materials to
    shareholders; and for the series, custodial fees for securities. Any
    expenses which are not directly attributable to a specific series are
    allocated on the basis of the net assets of the respective series.

(8) NBMI has undertaken through May 1, 2001 to reimburse certain operating
    expenses, including the compensation of NBMI (with respect to all portfolios
    but the Liquid Asset Portfolio), taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses,
    brokerage commissions and transaction costs, that exceed, in the aggregate,
    1% of the average daily net asset value.

(9) PADCO Advisors II, Inc., investment advisor of the Rydex Variable Trust, and
    PADCO Service Company, Inc., servicer to the Rydex Variable Trust, may from
    time to time volunteer to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses. For the
    period ending December 31, 1999, there were no waivers or reimbursements.

Other Calvert entities may provide administrative services to certain of the
portfolios.

Ameritas may receive administrative fees from the investment advisers of certain
Funds. Ameritas currently does not assess a separate charge against Separate
Account LLVL or the Fixed Account for any federal, state or local income taxes.
Ameritas may, however, make such a charge in the future if income or gains
within Separate Account LLVL will incur any federal, or any significant state or
local income tax liability, or if the federal, state or local tax treatment of
Ameritas changes.

HOW DOES THE INVESTMENT COMPONENT OF MY POLICY WORK?
Ameritas has established Separate Account LLVL, which is separate from all other
assets of Ameritas, as a vehicle to receive and invest premiums received from
Policy Owners. Separate Account LLVL is divided into separate Subaccounts. Each
Subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one of the investment portfolios
available through the Policy. You may allocate Net Premiums to one or more
Subaccounts, or to Ameritas' Fixed Account in your initial application. These
allocations may be changed by notifying Ameritas' Home Office. The aggregate
value of your interests in the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account will represent
the Accumulation Value of your Policy. (See the section on Accumulation Value.)

You may make transfers among the Investment Options. All transfers are subject
to the limits we set. The Policy's Accumulation Value in Separate Account LLVL
will reflect the amount and frequency of premium payments, the investment
experience of the chosen Subaccounts and the Fixed Account, Policy loans, any
partial withdrawals, and any charges imposed in connection with the Policy. The
entire investment risk of Separate Account LLVL is borne by the Policy Owner.
Ameritas does not guarantee a minimum Accumulation Value in Separate Account
LLVL. (See the section on Accumulation Value.) Ameritas does guarantee the Fixed
Account.

WHAT INVESTMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE POLICY?
The Investment Options available through the Policy include 26 investment
portfolios, each of which is a separate series of a mutual fund from Ameritas
Portfolios, Deutsche VIT, CVS Social Portfolios, Fidelity Portfolios, Neuberger
Berman AMT, and Rydex. These portfolios are listed in the Fund Expense Summary,
above.

Details about the investment objectives and policies of each of the available
investment portfolios and management fees and expenses, appear in the sections
on Investment Objectives and Policies of the Funds' Portfolios and Fund Expense
Summary. There is no assurance that these objectives will be met. The Policy
Owner bears the entire investment risk for amounts allocated to the Subaccounts.
In addition to the listed portfolios, you may also elect to allocate Net
Premiums to Ameritas' Fixed Account. (See the section on Fixed Account.)

HOW DOES THE LIFE INSURANCE COMPONENT OF A POLICY WORK?
A Policy provides for the payment of a minimum Death Benefit upon the Second
Death. There is no benefit payable on the death of the first Insured. The amount
of the minimum death benefit -- sometimes referred to as the Specified Amount of
your Policy -- is chosen by you at the time your Policy is established. However,
Death Benefit Proceeds -- the actual amount that will be paid after Ameritas

                                     LLSVUL
                                       10
<PAGE>   11

receives Satisfactory Proof of Death -- may vary over the life of your Policy,
depending on which of the two available coverage options you select.

If you choose Option A, the Death Benefit payable under your Policy will be the
Specified Amount of your Policy or the applicable percentage of its Accumulation
Value, whichever is greater. If you choose Option B, the Death Benefit payable
under your Policy will be the Specified Amount of your Policy PLUS the
Accumulation Value of your Policy, or if it is higher, the applicable percentage
of the Accumulation Value on the Second Death. In either case, the applicable
percentage is established based on the Attained Age at the Second Death. (See
the section on Death Benefit Options.)

ARE THERE ANY RISKS INVOLVED IN OWNING A POLICY?
Yes. Over the life of your Policy, the Subaccounts to which you allocate your
premiums will fluctuate with changes in the stock market and overall economic
factors. These fluctuations will be reflected in the Accumulation Value of your
Policy and may result in loss of principal. For this reason, the purchase of a
Policy may not be suitable for all individuals. It may not be advantageous to
purchase a Policy to replace or augment your existing insurance arrangements.
Appendix A includes tables illustrating the impact that hypothetical market
returns would have on Accumulation Values under a Policy (page A-1).

WHAT IS THE PREMIUM THAT MUST BE PAID TO KEEP A POLICY IN FORCE?
Like traditional life insurance policies, a Policy requires the payment of
periodic premiums in order to keep the Policy in force. You will be asked to
establish a payment schedule before your Policy becomes effective.

The distinction between traditional life policies and a Policy is that a Policy
will not lapse simply because premium payments are not made according to that
payment schedule. However, a Policy will lapse, even if scheduled premium
payments are made, if the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy falls below
zero or premiums paid do not, in the aggregate, equal the premium necessary to
satisfy the Minimum Benefit or the Guaranteed Death Benefit requirements. (See
the section on Premiums.)

HOW ARE PREMIUMS PAID, PROCESSED AND CREDITED TO ME?
Your Policy will be issued after a completed application is accepted, and the
initial premium payment is received, by Ameritas at its Home Office. Ameritas'
Home Office is located at 5900 "O" Street, P.O. Box 81889, Lincoln, NE 68501.

On the Issue Date, your initial Net Premium will be allocated to the Liquid
Asset Subaccount for 13 days. Then, the Accumulation Value of the Policy will be
allocated among the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account according to the
instructions in your application. Where allowed, if you have allocated 100% to
the Fixed Account, the Net Premium of the Policy is allocated to the Fixed
Account on the Issue Date. In this instance, no further allocation will occur.
You have the right to examine your Policy and return it for a refund for a
limited time, even after the Issue Date. (See the section on Issuance of a
Policy.)

You may make subsequent premium payments according to your Planned Periodic
Premium schedule, although you are not required to do so. Ameritas will send
premium payment notices to you according to any schedule you select, except if
you pay by automatic bank draft. When Ameritas receives your premium payment at
its Home Office, we will deduct any applicable Percent of Premium Charge for
Taxes and the Net Premium will be allocated to the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed
Account according to your selections. (See the sections on Premiums and
Allocations of Premiums and Accumulation Value.)

As already noted, provides you considerable flexibility in determining the
frequency and amount of premium payments. This flexibility is not, however,
unlimited. You should keep certain factors in mind in determining the payment
schedule that is best suited to your needs. These include the amount of the
Minimum Premium, Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium and/or Net Policy Funding
requirement needed to keep your Policy in force, maximum premium limitations
established under the federal tax laws, and the impact that reduced premium
payments may have on the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy. (See the
section on Premiums.)

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

IS THE ACCUMULATION VALUE OF MY POLICY AVAILABLE WITHOUT SURRENDER?
Yes. You may access the value of your Policy in one of two ways. First, you may
obtain a loan, secured by the Accumulation Value of your Policy. The maximum
interest rate on any such loan is 6% annually; the current rate is 5.5%
annually. After the tenth Policy Anniversary, you may borrow against a limited
amount of the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy at a maximum annual
interest rate of 4%; the current rate for such loans is 3.5% annually. (See the
section on Loan Benefits.)

You may also access the value of your Policy by making a partial withdrawal. A
partial withdrawal is subject to a maximum charge not to exceed the lesser of
$50 or 2% of the amount withdrawn (currently, the partial withdrawal charge is
the lesser of $25 or 2%). (See the section on Partial Withdrawals.)

WHEN DOES MY POLICY TERMINATE?
You may terminate your Policy by Surrendering the Policy while at least one
Insured is alive for its Net Cash Surrender Value. As noted above, your Policy
will terminate if you fail to pay required premiums or maintain sufficient Net
Cash Surrender Value to cover Policy charges. (See the sections on Surrenders
and Premiums.)

YEAR 2000
Like other insurance companies and their separate accounts, Ameritas and
Separate Account LLVL could be adversely affected if the computer systems they
rely upon do not properly process date-related information and data involving
the years 2000 and after. This issue arose because both mainframe and PC-based
computer hardware and software have traditionally used two digits to identify
the year. For example, the year 1998 is input, stored and calculated as "98."
Similarly, the year 2000 would be input, stored and calculated as "00." If
computers assume this means 1900, it could cause errors in calculations,
comparisons, and other computing functions.

Like all insurance companies, Ameritas makes extensive use of dates and date
calculations. We began a corporate-wide Year 2000 (Y2K) project in mid-1996. Our
goal is to ensure that our computer systems continue to operate smoothly with no
service disruptions before, during or after the year 2000.

As of April 15, 2000, Ameritas has experienced no known Y2K problems. All of our
computer application and operating systems had been updated for the year 2000 by
December 31, 1998. Continuous testing and monitoring throughout 1999 helped
Ameritas continue to meet our contractual and service obligations to our
customers. In addition to our internal efforts, Ameritas is working closely with
vendors and other business partners to confirm that they too are addressing Y2K
issues on a timely basis. We believe that we are Y2K -compliant; however, in the
event we or our service providers, vendors, financial institutions or others

AMERITAS, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS

AMERITAS LIFE INSURANCE CORP.

Effective January 1, 1998, Ameritas converted from a mutual insurance company
structure to a mutual insurance holding company structure pursuant to the
Nebraska Mutual Insurance Holding Company Act. The conversion was approved by
the Nebraska State Department of Insurance and the policy owners of the mutual
company.

Effective January 1, 1999, Ameritas Mutual Holding Company and Acacia Mutual
Holding Corporation merged to form Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company.
Ameritas is wholly owned by Ameritas Holding Company, which is wholly owned by
Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company. There are no other owners of 5% or more
of the outstanding voting securities of Ameritas.

Ameritas Investment Corp. ("AIC"), the principal underwriter of the Policies,
may publish in advertisements and reports to Policy Owners, the ratings and
other information assigned to Ameritas by one or more independent rating
services. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect the financial strength of
Ameritas. The ratings do not relate to the performance of Separate Account LLVL.
Published material may also include charts and other information concerning
dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, earnings sweep, tax-deference,
diversification, asset allocation, long term market trends, index performance,
and other investment programs and methods.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Separate Account LLVL ("Separate Account LLVL")
was established under Nebraska law on August 24, 1994. The assets of Separate
Account LLVL are held by Ameritas and are segregated from all of Ameritas' other
assets. These assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any
other business which Ameritas may conduct, including any income, gains, or
losses of Ameritas. Although the assets maintained in Separate Account LLVL will
not be charged with any liabilities arising out of Ameritas' other business, all
obligations arising under the Policies are liabilities of Ameritas who will
maintain assets in Separate Account LLVL of a total market value at least equal
to the reserve and other contract liabilities of Separate Account LLVL.
Nevertheless, to the extent assets in Separate Account LLVL exceed Ameritas'
liabilities in Separate Account LLVL, the assets are available to cover the
liabilities of Ameritas' General Account. Ameritas may, from time to time,
withdraw assets available to cover the General Account obligations. Separate
Account LLVL is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment
trust, which is a type of investment company. This does not involve any SEC
supervision of the management or investment policies or practices of Separate
Account LLVL. For state law purposes, Separate Account LLVL is treated as a
Division of Ameritas.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance information for the Subaccounts of Separate Account LLVL and the
Funds available for investment by Separate Account LLVL may appear in
advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy Owners or prospective
purchasers. Ameritas may also provide a hypothetical illustration of
Accumulation Value, Net Cash Surrender Value and Death Benefit based on
historical investment returns of the Funds for a sample Policy based on
assumptions as to age, sex, and risk class of each Insured, and other Policy
specific assumptions.

Ameritas may also provide individualized hypothetical illustrations of
Accumulation Value, Net Cash Surrender Value and Death Benefit based on
historical investment returns of the Funds. These illustrations will reflect
deductions for Fund expenses and Policy and Separate Account LLVL charges,
including the Monthly Deduction and Percent of Premium Charge for Taxes. These
hypothetical illustrations will be based on the actual historical experience of
the Funds as if the Subaccounts had been in existence and a Policy issued for
the same periods as those indicated for the Funds.

THE FUNDS
There are currently 26 Subaccounts within Separate Account LLVL available to
Policy Owners for new allocations. Each Subaccount of Separate Account LLVL will
invest only in the shares of a corresponding portfolio of Ameritas Portfolios,
Deutsche VIT, CVS Social Portfolios, Fidelity Portfolio, Neuberger Berman AMT,
or Rydex (collectively the "Funds"). Each Fund is registered with the SEC under
the 1940 Act as an open-end diversified management investment company.

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

The assets of each portfolio of the Funds are held separate from the assets of
the other portfolios. Thus, each portfolio operates as a separate investment
portfolio, and the income or losses of one portfolio generally have no effect on
the investment performance of any other portfolio.

The Ameritas Portfolios receive investment advisory services from Ameritas
Investment Corp. ("AIC"). AIC is a registered investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is an affiliate of Ameritas. AIC also
contracts with subadvisers. The following subadvisers provide investment
subadvisory services to the indicated Ameritas Portfolios:

CVS Social Portfolios, which is managed by Calvert Asset Management Company,
Inc. ("CAMCO"), an affiliate of Ameritas, offers the following portfolios:
Social Small Cap, Social Mid Cap Growth, Social International Equity, and Social
Balanced. Other Calvert entities may provide administrative services to certain
of the portfolios. Deutsche Asset Management VIT Funds, for which Bankers Trust
Company is the investment advisor, offers the following portfolios: Equity 500
Index, Small Cap Index, and EAFE Equity Index. The Fidelity Portfolios, which
are managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), offer the
following portfolios: VIP High Income: Service Class, VIP Contrafund: Service
Class, VIP Investment Grade Bond: Initial Class, and VIP Mid Cap: Service Class.
Neuberger Berman AMT, which is managed by Neuberger Berman Management, Inc., in
conjunction with Neuberger Berman, LLP as subadviser, offers the following
portfolios: Liquid Asset, Limited Maturity Bond, Balanced, Guardian, and Mid-Cap
Growth. Rydex, for which PADCO Advisors II, Inc. is the investment advisor,
offers the following portfolios: Nova, Ursa, OTC, Precious Metals, and U.S.
Government Bond.

The investment objectives and policies of each portfolio are summarized below.
There is no assurance that any of the portfolios will achieve their stated
objectives. More detailed information, including a description of investment
objectives, policies, restrictions, expenses and risks, is in the prospectuses
for each of the Funds, which must accompany or precede this Prospectus. These
Prospectuses should be read carefully together with this Prospectus and
retained. All underlying Fund information, including Fund prospectuses, has been
provided to Ameritas by the underlying Funds. Ameritas has not independently
verified this information.

The investments in the Funds may be managed by Fund managers which manage one or
more other mutual funds that have similar names, investment objectives, and
investment styles as the Funds. You should be aware that the Funds are likely to
differ from the other mutual funds in size, cash flow pattern, and tax matters.
Thus, the holdings and performance of the Funds can be expected to vary from
those of the other mutual funds.

Each Policy Owner should periodically consider the allocation among the
Subaccounts in light of current market conditions and the investment risks
attendant to investing in the Funds' various portfolios.

Separate Account LLVL will purchase and redeem shares from the Portfolios at the
net asset value. Shares will be redeemed to the extent necessary for Ameritas to
collect charges, pay the surrender values, partial withdrawals, and make Policy
loans or to transfer assets from one Subaccount to another, or to the Fixed
Account, as requested by Policy Owners. Any dividend or capital gain
distribution received is automatically reinvested in the corresponding
Subaccount.

Since Ameritas Portfolios, Deutsche VIT, CVS Social Portfolios, Fidelity
Portfolios, Neuberger Berman AMT, and Rydex are each designed to provide
investment vehicles for variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts of
various insurance companies and will be sold to separate accounts of other
insurance companies as investment vehicles for various types of variable life
insurance policies or variable annuity contracts, there is a possibility that a
material conflict may arise between the interests of Separate Account LLVL and
one or more of the separate accounts of another participating insurance company.
In the event

of a material conflict, the affected insurance companies agree to take any
necessary steps, including removing its separate accounts from the Funds, to
resolve the matter. Where applicable, the risks of such mixed and shared funding
are described further in the prospectuses of the Funds.

receipts for those securities. These securities may be listed on a securities
exchange or traded in the over-the-counter markets. While the portfolio may
invest in companies of any size, it may generally focus on companies with larger
market capitalizations that the subadvisor believes have sustainable growth
prospects and attractive valuations based on current and expected earnings or
cash flow.

appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies that have
small market capitalizations. It invests at least 65% of assets in the common
stocks of small-cap companies. Returns in the portfolio will be mostly from the

invests.*

SOCIAL MID CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation
by investing primarily in a nondiversified portfolio of the equity securities of
mid-sized companies that are undervalued but

demonstrate a potential for growth. It invests primarily in the common stocks of
mid-size companies. Returns in the portfolio will be mostly from the changes in
the price of the portfolio's holdings (capital appreciation.) The portfolio

SOCIAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO seeks to provide a high total return
consistent with reasonable risk by investing primarily in a globally diversified
portfolio for equity securities. It invests primarily in the common stocks of
mid- to large-cap companies using a value approach. The portfolio identifies
those countries with markets and economies that it believes currently provide
the most favorable climate for investing. The portfolio invests primarily in
more developed economies and markets. No more that 5% of Portfolio assets are
invested in the U.S.*

SOCIAL BALANCED PORTFOLIO seeks to achieve a competitive total return through an
actively managed portfolio of stocks, bonds and money market instruments which
offer income and capital growth opportunity and which satisfy the investment and
social criteria. It typically invests about 60% of its assets in stocks and 40%
in bonds or other fixed-income investments. Stock investments are primarily
common stock in large-cap companies, while the fixed-income investments are
primarily a wide variety of investment grade bonds. *

* Each CVS Social Portfolio invests with the philosophy that long-term rewards
to investors will come from those organizations whose products, services, and
methods enhance the human condition and the traditional American values of
individual initiative, equality of opportunity and cooperative effort.
Investments are selected on the basis of their ability to contribute to the dual
objectives of financial soundness and social criteria.

ADDITION, DELETION OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
Ameritas reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to add, delete, combine,
or substitute investments in Separate Account LLVL if, in our judgment,
marketing needs, tax considerations, or investment conditions warrant. This may
happen due to a change in law or a change in a Fund's objectives or
restrictions, or for some other reason. Ameritas may operate Separate Account
LLVL as a management company under the 1940 Act, it may be deregistered under
that Act if registration is no longer required, or it may be combined with other
Ameritas separate accounts. Ameritas may also transfer the assets of Separate
Account LLVL to another separate account. If necessary, we will notify the SEC
and/or state insurance authorities and will obtain any required approvals before
making these changes.

If any changes are made, Ameritas may, by appropriate endorsement, change the
Policy to reflect the changes. In addition, Ameritas may, when permitted by law,
restrict or eliminate any voting rights of Policy Owners or other persons who
have voting rights as to Separate Account LLVL. Ameritas will determine the
basis for making any new Subaccounts available to existing Policy Owners.

You will be notified of any material change in the investment policy of any Fund
in which you have an interest.

FIXED ACCOUNT
You may elect to allocate all or a portion of your Net Premium payments to the
Fixed Account, and you may also transfer monies between Separate Account LLVL
and the Fixed Account. (See the section on Transfers.)

Payments allocated to the Fixed Account and transferred from Separate Account
LLVL to the Fixed Account are placed in Ameritas' General Account. The General
Account includes all of Ameritas' assets, except those assets segregated in
Ameritas' separate accounts. Ameritas has the sole discretion to invest the
assets of the General Account, subject to applicable law. Ameritas bears an
investment risk for all amounts allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account,
plus interest credited thereto, less any deduction for charges and expenses. The
Policy Owner bears the investment risk that the declared rate, described below,
will fall to a lower rate after the expiration of a declared rate period.
Because of exemptions and exclusionary provisions, interests in the General
Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933
Act"), nor is the General Account registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the General Account nor any
interest in it is

                                     LLSVUL
                                       17
<PAGE>   18

generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Act. We understand that
the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus
relating to the Fixed Account portion of the Policy; however, these disclosures
may be subject to generally applicable provisions of the Federal Securities Laws
regarding the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

Ameritas guarantees that it will credit interest at a declared rate of at least
3.5%. Ameritas may, at its discretion, set a higher declared rate(s). Each month
Ameritas will establish the declared rate for the Policies with a Policy Date or
Policy Anniversary Date in that month. Each month is assumed to have 30 days,
and each year to have 360 days for purposes of crediting interest on the Fixed
Account. The Policy Owner will earn interest on the amounts transferred or
allocated to the Fixed Account at the declared rate effective for the month in
which the Policy was issued, which rate is guaranteed for the remainder of the
first Policy Year. During later Policy Years, all amounts in the Fixed Account
will earn interest at the declared rate in effect in the month of the last
Policy Anniversary. Declared interest rates may increase or decrease from
previous periods, but will not fall below 3.5%. Ameritas reserves the right to
change the declaration practice, and the period for which a declared rate will
apply.

POLICY BENEFITS

The rights and benefits under the Policy are summarized in this prospectus;
however prospectus disclosure regarding the Policy is qualified in its entirety
by the Policy itself, a copy of which is available upon request from Ameritas.

PURPOSES OF THE POLICY
The Policy is designed to provide the Policy Owner with both lifetime insurance
protection and flexibility in the amount and frequency of premium payments and
with the level of life insurance proceeds payable under the Policy.

You are not required to pay scheduled premiums to keep the Policy in force, but
you may, subject to certain limitations, vary the frequency and amount of
premium payments. You also may adjust the level of Death Benefits payable under
the Policy without having to purchase a new Policy by increasing (with evidence
of insurability) or decreasing the Specified Amount. An increase in the
Specified Amount will increase both the Minimum Premium and the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Premium required. If the Specified Amount is decreased, however, the
Minimum Premium and Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium will not decrease. Thus, as
insurance needs or financial conditions change, you have the flexibility to
adjust life insurance benefits and vary premium payments.

The Death Benefit may, and the Accumulation Value will, vary with the investment
experience of the chosen Subaccounts of Separate Account LLVL. Thus the Policy
Owner benefits from any appreciation in value of the underlying assets, but
bears the investment risk of any depreciation in value. As a result, whether or
not a Policy continues in force may depend in part upon the investment
experience of the chosen Subaccounts. The failure to pay a Planned Periodic
Premium will not necessarily cause the Policy to lapse, but the Policy could
lapse even if Planned Periodic Premiums have been paid, depending upon the
investment experience of Separate Account LLVL. If the Minimum Premium or
Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium is satisfied by Net Policy Funding, Ameritas
will keep the Policy in force during the appropriate period and provide a Death
Benefit. In certain instances, this Net Policy Funding will not, after the
payment of Monthly Deductions, generate positive Net Cash Surrender Values.

DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
As long as the Policy remains in force, Ameritas will pay the Death Benefit
Proceeds of the Policy upon Satisfactory Proof of Death, according to the Death
Benefit option in effect at the time of the Second Death. The amount of the
Death Benefits payable will be determined at the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Second Death occurs. The Death Benefit Proceeds may be paid in
a lump sum or under one or more of the payment options set forth in the Policy.
(See the section on Payment Options.) There is no benefit payable on the death
of the first Insured.

                                     LLSVUL
                                       18
<PAGE>   19

Death Benefit Proceeds will be paid to the surviving Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries you specified in the application or as subsequently changed. If
you do not choose a Beneficiary, the proceeds will be paid to you, as the
Policyowner, or to your estate.

DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
The Policy provides two Death Benefit options. The Policy Owner selects one of
the options in the application. The Death Benefit under either option will never
be less than the current Specified Amount of the Policy as long as the Policy
remains in force. (See the section on Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.) The
minimum initial Specified Amount is $100,000. The Net Amount at Risk for Option
A will generally be less than the Net Amount at Risk for Option B. If you choose
Option A, your Cost of Insurance deduction will generally be lower than if you
choose Option B. (See the section on Charges and Deductions.) The following
graphs illustrate the differences in the two Death Benefit options.

OPTION A.
(OMITTED GRAPH ILLUSTRATES PAYOUT UNDER DEATH BENEFIT OPTION A, SPECIFICALLY BY
SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIPS OVER TIME, BETWEEN THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT AND THE
ACCUMULATION VALUE.)

                                    [GRAPH]

Death Benefit Option A. Pays a Death Benefit equal to the Specified Amount or
the Accumulation Value multiplied by the Death Benefit percentage (as
illustrated at Point A) whichever is greater.

Under Option A, the Death Benefit is the current Specified Amount of the Policy
or, if greater, the applicable percentage of Accumulation Value at the Second
Death. The applicable percentage is 250% for Attained Ages 40 or younger on the
Policy Anniversary Date prior to the Second Death. For Attained Ages over 40 on
that Policy Anniversary Date, the percentage declines. For example, the
percentage at Attained Age 40 is 250%, at Attained Age 50 is 185%, at Attained
Age 60 is 130%, at Attained Age 70 is 115%, at Attained Age 80 is 105%, and at
Attained Age 90 is 105%. The applicable percentage will never be less than 101%.
Accordingly, under Option A the Death Benefit will remain level at the Specified
Amount unless the applicable percentage of Accumulation Value exceeds the
current Specified Amount, in which case the amount of the Death Benefit will
vary as the Accumulation Value varies. Policy Owners who prefer to have
favorable investment performance, if any, reflected in higher Accumulation
Value, rather than increased insurance coverage, generally should select Option
A.

OPTION B.
(OMITTED GRAPH ILLUSTRATES PAYOUT UNDER DEATH BENEFIT OPTION B, SPECIFICALLY BY
SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIPS OVER TIME, BETWEEN THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT AND THE
ACCUMULATION VALUE.)

                                    [GRAPH]

                                     LLSVUL
                                       19
<PAGE>   20

Death Benefit Option B. Pays a Death Benefit equal to the Specified Amount plus
the Policy's Accumulation Value or the Accumulation Value multiplied by the
Death Benefit percentage, whichever is greater.

Under Option B, the Death Benefit is equal to the current Specified Amount plus
the Accumulation Value of the Policy or, if greater, the applicable percentage
of the Accumulation Value at the Second Death. The applicable percentage is the
same as under Option A: 250% for Attained Ages 40 or younger on the

                                     LLSVUL
                                       20
<PAGE>   21

Policy Anniversary Date prior to the Second Death. For Attained Ages over 40 on
that Policy Anniversary Date the percentage declines. Accordingly, under Option
B the amount of the Death Benefit will always vary as the Accumulation Value
varies (but will never be less than the Specified Amount). Policy Owners who
prefer to have favorable investment performance, if any, reflected in increased
insurance coverage, rather than higher Accumulation Values, generally should
select Option B.

CHANGE IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION. The Death Benefit option may be changed once per
year after the first Policy Year by sending Ameritas a written request. The
effective date of such a change will be the Monthly Activity Date on or
following the date the change is approved by Ameritas. A change may have federal
tax consequences.

If the Death Benefit option is changed from Option A to Option B, the Specified
Amount after the change will equal the Specified Amount before the change less
the Accumulation Value as of the date of the change. If the Death Benefit option
is changed from Option B to Option A, the Specified Amount under Option A after
the change will equal the Death Benefit under Option B on the effective date of
change.

No charges will be imposed upon a change in Death Benefit option, nor will such
a change in and of itself result in an immediate change in the amount of a
Policy's Accumulation Value. However, a change in the Death Benefit option may
affect the Cost of Insurance because this charge varies depending on the Net
Amount at Risk. Changing from Option B to Option A generally will decrease the
Net Amount at Risk in the future, and will therefore decrease the Cost of
Insurance. Changing from Option A to Option B generally will result in an
increase in the Cost of Insurance over time because the Cost of Insurance rate
will increase with the ages of the Insureds, even though the Net Amount at Risk
will generally remain level. (See the sections on Charges and Deductions and
Federal Tax Matters.)

CHANGE IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT. Subject to certain limitations, after the first
Policy Year, a Policy Owner may increase or decrease the Specified Amount of a
Policy. A change in Specified Amount affects the Net Amount at Risk, which
affects the Cost of Insurance and may have federal tax consequences. (See the
sections on Charges and Deductions and Federal Tax Matters.)

Any increase or decrease in the Specified Amount will become effective on the
Monthly Activity Date on or following the date a written request is approved by
Ameritas. The Specified Amount of a Policy may be changed only once per year and
Ameritas may limit the size of a change in a Policy Year. The Specified Amount
remaining in force after any requested decrease may not be less than $100,000.
In addition, if a decrease in the Specified Amount makes the Policy not comply
with the maximum premium limits required by federal tax law, the decrease may be
limited or the Accumulation Value may be returned to you, at your election, to
the extent necessary to meet the requirements. (See the section on Premiums.)

Increases in the Specified Amount will be allowed after the first Policy Year.
For an increase in the Specified Amount, you must submit a written supplemental
application. Ameritas may also require additional evidence of insurability.
Although an increase need not necessarily be accompanied by an additional
premium, in certain cases an additional premium will be required to put the
requested increase in effect. (See the section on Premiums upon Increases in
Specified Amount.) The minimum amount of any increase is $50,000, and an
increase cannot be made if either Insured was over age 85 on the previous Policy
Anniversary Date. An increase in the Specified Amount during the time either the
Minimum Benefit or the Guaranteed Death Benefit provision is in effect will
increase the respective premium requirements. (See the section on Charges and
Deductions.)

METHODS OF AFFECTING INSURANCE PROTECTION
You may increase or decrease the pure insurance protection provided by a
Policy -- the difference between the Death Benefit and the Accumulation
Value -- in several ways as your insurance needs change. These ways include
increasing or decreasing the Specified Amount of insurance, changing the level
of premium payments, and making a partial withdrawal of the Policy's
Accumulation Value. Certain of these changes may have federal tax consequences.
The consequences of each of these methods will depend upon the individual
circumstances.

DURATION OF THE POLICY
The duration of the Policy generally depends upon the Accumulation Value. The
Policy will remain in force so long as the Net Cash Surrender Value is
sufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction or if the Minimum Benefit or Guaranteed
Death Benefit provision is in effect. (See the section on Charges from
Accumulation Value.) However, when the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient
to pay the Monthly Deduction and the Grace Period expires without an adequate
payment by the Policy Owner, the Policy will lapse and terminate without value.
(See the section on Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)

ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Accumulation Value will reflect the investment performance of the chosen
Investment Options, the Net Premiums paid, any partial withdrawals, and the
charges assessed in connection with the Policy. A Policy Owner may Surrender the
Policy at any time and receive the Policy's Net Cash Surrender Value. (See the
section on Surrenders.) There is no guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value.

Accumulation Value is determined on each Valuation Date. On the Issue Date, the
Accumulation Value will equal the portion of any Net Premium allocated to the
Investment Options, reduced by the portion of the first Monthly Deduction
allocated to the Investment Options. (See the section on Allocation of Premiums
and Accumulation Value.) Thereafter, on each Valuation Date, the Accumulation
Value of the Policy will equal:

        (1)  The aggregate values belonging to the Policy in each of the
             Subaccounts on the Valuation Date, determined by multiplying each
             Subaccount's unit value by the number of Subaccount units you have
             allocated to the Policy; plus

        (2)  The value of allocations to the Fixed Account; plus

        (3)  Any Accumulation Value impaired by Outstanding Policy Debt held in
             the General Account; plus

        (4)  Any Net Premiums received on that Valuation Date; less

        (5)  Any partial withdrawal, and its charge, made on that Valuation
             Date; less

        (6)  Any Monthly Deduction to be made on that Valuation Date; less

        (7)  Any federal or state income taxes charged against the Accumulation
             Value.

In computing the Policy's Accumulation Value on the Valuation Date, the number
of Subaccount units allocated to the Policy is determined after any transfers
among Investment Options (and deduction of transfer charges), but before any
other Policy transactions, such as receipt of Net Premiums and partial
withdrawals. Because the Accumulation Value depends on a number of variables, a
Policy's Accumulation Value cannot be predetermined.

THE UNIT VALUE. The unit value of each Subaccount reflects the investment
performance of that Subaccount. The unit value of each Subaccount is calculated
by:

        (1)  Multiplying the net asset value per share of each Fund portfolio on
             the Valuation Date times the number of shares held by that
             Subaccount, before the purchase or redemption of any shares on that
             Valuation Date; minus

        (2)  A charge for mortality and expense risk at an annual rate of .40%
             in Policy Years 1-15, decreasing to .10% thereafter; minus

        (3)  A charge for administrative service expenses at an annual rate of
             .20%; and

        (4)  Dividing the result by the total number of units held in the
             Subaccount on the Valuation Date, before the purchase or redemption
             of any units on that Valuation Date.

(See the section on Daily Charges Against the Separate Account.)

VALUATION DATE AND VALUATION PERIOD. A Valuation Date is each day on which the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading. The net asset value for
each Fund portfolio is determined as of the close of regular trading on the
NYSE. The net investment return for each Subaccount and all

                                     LLSVUL
                                       22
<PAGE>   23

transactions and calculations with respect to the Policies as of any Valuation
Date are determined as of that time. The transaction cut-off time for receipt by
us of Premium Payments and all transactions with respect to Rydex is 1:30 p.m.
Central time, or one hour before market close, for days on which the market
closes early. A Valuation Period is the period between two successive Valuation
Dates, commencing at the close of the NYSE on each Valuation Date and ending at
the close of the NYSE on the next succeeding Valuation Date.

PAYMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS
Death Benefit Proceeds under the Policy will usually be paid within seven days
after Ameritas receives Satisfactory Proof of Death. Payments may be postponed
in certain circumstances. (See the section on Postponement of Payments.) The
Policy Owner may decide the form in which Death Benefit Proceeds will be paid.
While at least one Insured is alive, the Policy Owner may arrange for the Death
Benefit Proceeds to be paid in a lump sum or under one or more of the optional
methods of payment described below. Changes must be in writing and will revoke
all prior elections. If no election is made, Ameritas will pay Death Benefit
Proceeds or Accumulation Value Benefits in a lump sum. When Death Benefit
Proceeds are payable in a lump sum and no election for an optional method of
payment is in force at the Second Death the Beneficiary may select one or more
of the optional methods of payment. Further, if the Policy is assigned, any
amounts due to the assignee will first be paid in one sum. The balance, if any,
may be applied under any payment option. Once payments have begun, the payment
option may not be changed.

PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. The minimum amount of each payment
is $100. If a payment would be less than $100, Ameritas has the right to make
payments less often so that the amount of each payment is at least $100. Once a
payment option is in effect, Death Benefit Proceeds will be transferred to
Ameritas' General Account. Ameritas may make other payment options available in
the future. For additional information concerning these options, see the Policy
itself. The following payment options are currently available:

     INTEREST PAYMENT OPTION. Ameritas will hold any amount applied under this
     option. Interest on the unpaid balance will be paid or credited each month
     at a rate determined by Ameritas.

     FIXED AMOUNT PAYABLE OPTION. Each payment will be for an agreed fixed
     amount. Payments continue until the amount Ameritas holds runs out.

     FIXED PERIOD PAYMENT OPTION. Equal payments will be made for any period
     selected up to 20 years.

     LIFETIME PAYMENT OPTION. Equal monthly payments are based on the life of a
     named person. Payments will continue for the lifetime of that person.
     Variations provide for guaranteed payments for a period of time.

     JOINT LIFETIME PAYMENT OPTION. Equal monthly payments are based on the
     lives of two named persons. While both are living, one payment will be made
     each month. When one dies, the same payment will continue for the lifetime
     of the other.

As an alternative to the above payment options, Death Benefits Proceeds may be
paid in any other manner approved by Ameritas. Further, one of Ameritas'
affiliates may make payments under the above payment options. If an affiliate
makes the payment, it will do so according to the request of the Policy Owner,
using the rules set out above.

POLICY RIGHTS

LOAN BENEFITS
LOAN PRIVILEGES.  The Policy Owner may borrow an amount up to the current Net
Cash Surrender Value less twelve times the most recent Monthly Deduction, at
regular or reduced loan rates (described below). Loans usually are funded within
seven days after receipt of a written request. The loan may be repaid at any
time while at least one Insured is living. Policy Owners in certain states may
borrow 100% of the Net Cash Surrender Value after deducting Monthly Deductions
and any interest on Policy loans that will be due for the remainder of the
Policy Year. Loans may have tax consequences. (See the section on Federal Tax
Matters.)

                                     LLSVUL
                                       23
<PAGE>   24

LOAN INTEREST.  Ameritas charges interest to Policy Owners at regular and
reduced rates. Regular loans will accrue interest on a daily basis at a rate of
up to 6% per year; currently the interest rate on regular Policy loans is 5.5%.
Each year after the tenth Policy Anniversary Date, the Policy Owner may borrow a
limited amount of the Net Cash Surrender Value at a reduced interest rate. For
those loans, interest will accrue on a daily basis at a rate of up to 4% per
year; the current reduced loan rate is 3.5%. The amount available at the reduced
loan rate is (1) the Accumulation Value, minus (2) total premiums paid minus any
partial withdrawals previously taken, and minus (3) any Outstanding Policy Debt
held at a reduced loan rate. However, this amount may not exceed the maximum
loan amount described above. (See the section on Loan Privileges.) If unpaid
when due, interest will be added to the amount of the loan and bear interest at
the same rate. The Policy Owner earns 3.5% interest on the Accumulation Values
held in the General Account securing the loans.

EFFECT OF POLICY LOANS.  When a loan is made, Accumulation Value equal to the
amount of the loan will be transferred from the Investment Options to the
General Account as security for the loan. The Accumulation Value transferred
will be allocated from the Investment Options according to the instructions you
give when you request the loan. The minimum amount which can remain in a
Subaccount or the Fixed Account as a result of a loan is $100. If no
instructions are given, the amounts will be withdrawn in proportion to the
various Accumulation Values in the Investment Options. In any Policy Year that
loan interest is not paid when due, Ameritas will add the interest due to the
principal amount of the Policy loan on the next Policy Anniversary. This loan
interest due will be transferred from the Investment Options as set out above.
No charge will be made for these transfers. A Policy loan will permanently
affect the Accumulation Value and may permanently affect the amount of the Death
Benefits, even if the loan is repaid. Policy loans will also affect Net Policy
Funding for determining whether the Minimum Benefit and Guaranteed Death Benefit
provisions are met.

Interest earned on amounts held in the General Account will be allocated to the
Investment Options on each Policy Anniversary in the same proportion that Net
Premiums are being allocated to those Investment Options at the time. Upon
repayment of loan amounts, the portion of the repayment allocated in accordance
with the repayment of loan provision (see below) will be transferred to increase
the Accumulation Value in that Investment Option.

OUTSTANDING POLICY DEBT.  The Outstanding Policy Debt equals the total of all
Policy loans and accrued interest on Policy loans. If the Outstanding Policy
Debt exceeds the Accumulation Value less any Accrued Expense Charges, the Policy
Owner must pay the excess. Ameritas will send a notice of the amount which must
be paid. If you do not make the required payment within the 61 days after
Ameritas sends the notice, the Policy will terminate without value ("lapse").
Should the Policy lapse while Policy loans are outstanding, the portion of the
loans attributable to earnings will become taxable. You may lower the risk of a
Policy lapsing while loans are outstanding as a result of a reduction in the
market value of investments in the Subaccounts by investing in a diversified
group of lower risk investment portfolios and/or transferring the funds to the
Fixed Account and receiving a guaranteed rate of return. Should you experience a
substantial reduction, you may need to lower anticipated withdrawals and loans,
repay loans, make additional premium payments, or take other action to avoid
Policy lapse. A lapsed Policy may later be reinstated. (See the section on
Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)

REPAYMENT OF LOAN.  Unscheduled premiums paid while a Policy loan is outstanding
are treated as repayment of the debt only if the Policy Owner so requests. As a
loan is repaid, the Accumulation Value in the General Account securing the
repaid loan will be allocated among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in the
same proportion that Net Premiums are being allocated at the time of repayment.

SURRENDERS
At any time while at least one Insured is alive, the Policy Owner may withdraw a
portion of the Accumulation Value or Surrender the Policy by sending a written
request to Ameritas. The amount available for Surrender is the Net Cash
Surrender Value at the end of the Valuation Period when the Surrender request is
received at Ameritas' Home Office. There are no surrender charges. Surrenders
will generally be paid within seven days of receipt of the written request. (See
the section on Postponement of Payments.) SURRENDERS MAY HAVE TAX CONSEQUENCES.
Once a Policy is Surrendered, it may not be reinstated. (See the section on Tax
Treatment of Policy Proceeds.)

                                     LLSVUL
                                       24
<PAGE>   25

If the Policy is being Surrendered in its entirety, the Policy itself must be
returned to Ameritas along with the request. Ameritas will pay the Net Cash
Surrender Value. Coverage under the Policy will terminate as of the date of a
total Surrender. A Policy Owner may elect to have the amount paid in a lump sum
or under a payment option. (See the section on Payment Options.)

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
Partial withdrawals are irrevocable. The amount of a partial withdrawal may not
be less than $500. The Net Cash Surrender Value after a partial withdrawal must
be at least $1,000 or an amount sufficient to maintain the Policy in force for
the remainder of the Policy Year.

The amount paid will be deducted from the Investment Options according to your
instructions when you request the withdrawal. However, the minimum amount
remaining in a Subaccount as a result of the allocation is $100. If no
instructions are given, the amounts will be withdrawn in proportion to the
various Accumulation Values in the Investment Options.

The Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawal and
may affect the way the Cost of Insurance is calculated and the amount of pure
insurance protection under the Policy. (See the sections on Monthly
Deduction -- Cost of Insurance and Death Benefit Options -- Methods of Affecting
Insurance Protection.) If Death Benefit option B is in effect, the Specified
Amount will not change, but the Accumulation Value will be reduced.

A fee which does not exceed the lesser of $50 or 2% of the amount withdrawn is
deducted from the Accumulation Value. Currently, the charge is the lesser of $25
or 2% of the amount withdrawn. (See the section on Partial Withdrawal Charge.)
Partial withdrawals will also affect Net Policy Funding for determining whether
the Minimum Benefit and Guaranteed Death Benefit provisions are met.

TRANSFERS
Accumulation Value may be transferred among the Subaccounts of Separate Account
LLVL and to the Fixed Account as often as desired. However, you may make only
one transfer out of the Fixed Account per Policy Year. We may limit the transfer
period to the 30 days following the Policy Anniversary Date. The transfers may
be ordered in person, by mail, by telephone or, when available, through our
website. The total amount transferred each time must be at least $250, or the
balance of the Subaccount, if less. The minimum amount that may remain in a
Subaccount or the Fixed Account after a transfer is $100. The first 15 transfers
per Policy Year will be permitted free of charge. After that, a transfer charge
of $10 may be imposed each additional time amounts are transferred. Currently,
no charge is imposed for additional transfers. This charge will be deducted pro
rata from each Subaccount (and, if applicable, the Fixed Account) in which the
Policy Owner is invested. (See the section on Transfer Charge.) Additional
restrictions on transfers may be imposed at the fund level. Transfers resulting
from Policy loans or exercise of the exchange privilege will not be subject to a
transfer charge and will not be counted towards the guaranteed 15 free transfers
per Policy Year. Ameritas may at any time revoke or modify the transfer
privilege, including the minimum amount transferable.

The transaction cut-off time for receipt by us of Premium Payments and all
transactions with respect to Rydex is 1:30 p.m. Central time, or one hour before
market close, for days on which the market closes early.

Transfers out of the Fixed Account, unless part of the dollar cost averaging
systematic program described below, are limited to one per Policy Year.
Transfers out of the Fixed Account are limited to the greater of (1) 25% of the
Fixed Account attributable to the Policy; (2) the largest transfer made by the
Policy Owner out of the Fixed Account during the last 13 months; or (3) $1,000.
This provision is not available while dollar cost averaging from the Fixed
Account.

The privilege to initiate transactions by telephone or through our website, when
available, will be made available to Policy Owners automatically. Ameritas will
employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by
telephone are genuine, and if it does not, Ameritas may be liable for any losses
due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. The procedures Ameritas follows
for transactions initiated by telephone include, but are not limited to,
requiring the Policy Owner to provide the Policy

                                     LLSVUL
                                       25

number at the time of giving transfer instructions; Ameritas' tape recording of
all telephone transfer instructions; and Ameritas providing written confirmation
of telephone transactions.

When available, procedures for making transfers through our website can be
accessed at the Internet address stated in the Ameritas Life Insurance Corp.
section of this prospectus.

SYSTEMATIC PROGRAMS
Ameritas may offer systematic programs as discussed below. These programs will
be subject to administrative guidelines Ameritas may establish from time to
time. Transfers of Accumulation Value made pursuant to these programs will be
counted in determining whether any transfer fee may apply. Lower minimum amounts
may be allowed to transfer as part of a systematic program. No other separate
fee is assessed when one of these options is chosen. All other normal transfer
restrictions, as described above, also apply.

You can request participation in the available programs when purchasing the
Policy or at a later date. You can change the allocation percentage or
discontinue any program by sending written notice or calling the Home Office.
Other scheduled programs may be made available. Ameritas reserves the right to
modify, suspend or terminate such programs at any time. Use of systematic
programs may not be advantageous, and does not guarantee success.

PORTFOLIO REBALANCING.  Under the Portfolio Rebalancing program, you can
instruct Ameritas to reallocate the Accumulation Value among the Subaccounts
(but not the Fixed Account) on a systematic basis according to your specified
allocation instructions.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING.  Under the Dollar Cost Averaging program, you can
instruct Ameritas to automatically transfer, on a systematic basis, a
predetermined amount or specified percentage from the Fixed Account or the
Liquid Asset Subaccount to any other Subaccount(s). Dollar cost averaging is
permitted from the Fixed Account if each monthly transfer is no more than 1/36th
of the value of the Fixed Account at the time dollar cost averaging is
established.

EARNINGS SWEEP.  This program permits systematic redistribution of earnings
among Investment Options.

FREE-LOOK PRIVILEGE
You may cancel the Policy within 10 days after you receive it, within 10 days
after Ameritas delivers a notice of your right of cancellation, or within 45
days of completing Part I of the application, whichever is later. When allowed
by state law, the amount of the refund is the net premiums allocated to the
Investment Options, adjusted by investment gains and losses, plus the sum of all
charges deducted from premiums paid. Otherwise, the amount of the refund will
equal the gross premiums paid. To cancel the Policy, you should mail or deliver
it to the selling agent, or to Ameritas at the Home Office. A refund of premiums
paid by check may be delayed until the check has cleared your bank. (See the
section on Postponement of Payments.)

PAYMENT AND ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS

ISSUANCE OF A POLICY
Individuals wishing to purchase a Policy must complete an application and submit
it to Ameritas' Home Office (5900 "O" Street, P.O. Box 81889, Lincoln, Nebraska
68501). A Policy will generally be issued only to individuals between the ages
of 20 and 90 at the time of purchase, although at least one of the individuals
must be no older than 85, and both of whom supply satisfactory evidence of
insurability to Ameritas. Acceptance is subject to Ameritas' underwriting rules,
and Ameritas reserves the right to reject an application for any reason.

The Policy Date is the effective date for all coverage in the original
application. The Policy Date is used to determine Policy Anniversary Dates,
Policy Years and Policy Months. The Issue Date is the date that all financial,
contractual and administrative requirements have been met and processed for the
Policy. The Policy Date and the Issue Date will be the same unless: (1) an
earlier Policy Date is specifically requested, or (2) additional premiums or
application amendments are needed. When there are additional

                                     LLSVUL
                                       26
<PAGE>   27

requirements before issue (see below) the Policy Date will be the date the
Policy is sent for delivery and the Issue Date will be the date the requirements
are met.

When all required premiums and application amendments have been received by
Ameritas in its Home Office, the Issue Date will be the date the Policy is
mailed to you or sent to the agent for delivery to you. When application
amendments or additional premiums need to be obtained upon delivery of the
Policy, the Issue Date will be when the Policy receipt and federal funds (monies
of member banks within the Federal Reserve System which are held on deposit at a
Federal Reserve Bank) are received and available to Ameritas, and the
application amendments are received and reviewed in Ameritas' Home Office. On
the Issue Date, your initial Net Premium will be allocated to the Liquid Asset
Subaccount for 13 days, unless, where available, you have allocated 100% to the
Fixed Account. Then, the Accumulation Value of the Policy will be allocated
among the Subaccounts and/or Fixed Account according to the instructions in your
application.

Where allowed, if you have allocated 100% to the Fixed Account, the Net Premium
of the Policy is allocated to the Fixed Account on the Issue Date. In this
instance, no further allocation will occur.

Subject to approval, a Policy may be backdated, but the Policy Date may not be
more than six months prior to the date of the application. Backdating can be
advantageous if a lower Issue Age for either Insured results in lower Cost of
Insurance Rates. If a Policy is backdated, the minimum initial premium required
will include sufficient premium to cover the backdating period. Monthly
deductions will be made for the period the Policy Date is backdated.

Interim conditional insurance coverage may be issued prior to the Policy Date,
provided that certain conditions are met, upon the completion of an application
and the payment of the required premium at the time of the application. The
amount of the interim coverage is limited to $100,000.

PREMIUMS
No insurance will take effect before the initial premium payment is received by
Ameritas in federal funds. The initial premium payment must be at least equal to
the monthly Minimum Premium times one more than the number of months between the
Policy Date and the Issue Date. Subsequent premiums are payable at Ameritas'
Home Office. A Policy Owner has flexibility in determining the frequency and
amount of premiums. However, unless you have paid sufficient premiums to pay the
Monthly Deduction and Percent of Premium Charge for Taxes, the Policy may have a
zero Net Cash Surrender Value and lapse. Net Policy Funding, if adequate, may
satisfy Minimum Premium and/or Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium requirements.
(See the section on Policy Benefits, Purposes of the Policy.)

PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS.  At the time the Policy is issued you may determine a
Planned Periodic Premium schedule that provides for the payment of level
premiums at selected intervals. You may want to consider setting the Planned
Periodic Premium no lower than the Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium to assure
proper funding of the Guaranteed Death Benefit. You are not required to pay
premiums according to this schedule. You have considerable flexibility to alter
the amount and frequency of premiums paid. Ameritas reserves the right to limit
the number and amount of additional or unscheduled premium payments.

You may also change the frequency and amount of Planned Periodic Premiums by
sending a written request to the Home Office, although Ameritas reserves the
right to limit any increase. Premium payment notices will be sent annually,
semi-annually or quarterly, depending upon the frequency of the Planned Periodic
Premiums. Payment of the Planned Periodic Premiums does not guarantee that the
Policy remains in force unless the Minimum Benefit or Guaranteed Death Benefit
provision is in effect. Instead, the duration of the Policy depends upon the
Policy's Net Cash Surrender Value. (See the section on Duration of the Policy.)
Unless the Minimum Benefit or Guaranteed Death Benefit provision is in effect,
even if Planned Periodic Premiums are paid, the Policy will lapse any time the
Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction, and the
Grace Period expires without a sufficient payment. (See the section on Policy
Lapse and Reinstatement.)

PREMIUM LIMITS.  Ameritas' current minimum premium limit is $45, $15 if paid by
automatic bank draft. Ameritas currently has no maximum premium limit, other
than the current maximum premium limits

                                     LLSVUL
                                       27
<PAGE>   28

established by federal tax laws. Ameritas reserves the right to change any
premium limit. In no event may the total of all premiums paid, both planned and
unscheduled, exceed the current maximum premium limits established by federal
tax laws. (See the section on Tax Status of the Policy.)

If at any time a premium is paid which would result in total premiums exceeding
the current maximum premium limits, Ameritas will only accept that portion of
the premium which will make total premiums equal the maximum. Any part of the
premium in excess of that amount will be returned or applied as otherwise agreed
and no further premiums will be accepted until allowed by the current maximum
premium limits allowed by law. Ameritas may require additional evidence of
insurability if any premium payment would result in an increase in the Policy's
Net Amount at Risk on the date the premium is received.

PREMIUMS UPON INCREASES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT.  Depending upon the Accumulation
Value of the Policy at the time of an increase in the Specified Amount of the
Policy and the amount of the increase requested by the Policy Owner, an
additional premium payment may be required. Ameritas will notify you of any
premium required to fund the increase, which premium must be made in a single
payment. The Accumulation Value of the Policy will be immediately increased by
the amount of the payment, less the applicable Percent of Premium Charge for
Taxes.

ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND ACCUMULATION VALUE
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS.  In the application for a Policy, the Policy Owner
allocates Net Premiums to one or more Subaccounts and/or to the Fixed Account.
Allocations must be whole number percentages and must total 100%. The allocation
of future Net Premiums may be changed without charge by providing proper
notification to the Home Office in writing or by telephone. If there is any
Outstanding Policy Debt at the time of a payment, Ameritas will treat the
payment as a premium payment unless you instruct otherwise by proper written
notice.

On the Issue Date, the initial Net Premium will be allocated to the Liquid Asset
Subaccount for 13 days. Thereafter, the Accumulation Value will be reallocated
to the Investment Options you selected. Where allowed, if you have allocated
100% to the Fixed Account, the Net Premium of the Policy is allocated to the
Fixed Account on the Issue Date. In this instance, no further allocation will
occur. Premium payments received by Ameritas prior to the Issue Date are held in
the General Account until the Issue Date and are credited with interest at a
rate determined by Ameritas for the period from the date the payment has been
converted into federal funds and is available to Ameritas. In no event will
interest be credited prior to the Policy Date.

The Accumulation Value of the Subaccounts will vary with the investment
performance of these Subaccounts and you, as the Policy Owner, will bear the
entire investment risk. This will affect the Policy's Accumulation Value, and
may affect the Death Benefit as well. You should periodically review your
allocations of premiums and values in light of market conditions and overall
financial planning requirements.

POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE.  Unlike conventional life insurance policies, the failure to make a
Planned Periodic Premium payment will not itself cause the Policy to lapse.
Lapse will occur when the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the
Monthly Deduction and a Grace Period expires without a sufficient payment,
unless the Minimum Benefit or Guaranteed Death Benefit provision is in effect.
The Grace Period is 61 days from the date Ameritas mails a notice that the Grace
Period has begun. Ameritas will notify you at the beginning of the Grace Period
by mail addressed to your last known address on file with Ameritas.

The notice will specify the premium required to keep the Policy in force. The
required premium will equal the lesser of (1) Monthly Deductions plus Percent of
Premium charges for the three Policy Months after commencement of the Grace
Period, plus projected loan interest that would accrue over that period, or (2)
the premium required under the Minimum Benefit or Guaranteed Death Benefit
provisions, if applicable, to keep the Policy in effect for three months from
the commencement of the Grace Period. Failure to pay the required premium within
the Grace Period will result in lapse of the Policy. If the

                                       28

Second Death occurs during the Grace Period, any overdue Monthly Deductions and
Outstanding Policy Debt will be deducted from the Death Benefit Proceeds. (See
the section on Charges and Deductions.)

REINSTATEMENT.  A lapsed Policy may be reinstated any time within three years
(five years in Missouri) after the beginning of the Grace Period provided both
Insureds are living. We will reinstate your Policy based on the rating classes
of the Insureds at the time of the reinstatement.

Reinstatement is subject to the following:

        (1) Evidence of insurability of both Insureds satisfactory to Ameritas
            (including evidence of insurability of any person covered by a rider
            to reinstate the rider);

        (2) Any Outstanding Policy Debt on the date of lapse will be reinstated
            with interest due and accrued;

        (3) The Policy cannot be reinstated if it has been Surrendered for its
            full Net Cash Surrender Value;

        (4) The minimum premium required at reinstatement is the greater of:

           (a) the amount necessary to raise the Net Cash Surrender Value as of
               the date of reinstatement to equal to or greater than zero; or

           (b) three times the current Monthly Deduction.

The amount of Accumulation Value on the date of reinstatement will equal:

        (1) The amount of the Net Cash Surrender Value on the date of lapse,
            increased by

        (2) The premium paid at reinstatement, less

        (3) The Percent of Premium Charge for Taxes.

If any Outstanding Policy Debt is reinstated, that debt will be held in
Ameritas' General Account. Accumulation Value calculations will then proceed as
described under the section on Accumulation Value.

The effective date of reinstatement will be the first Monthly Activity Date on
or next following the date of approval by Ameritas of the application for
reinstatement.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

Charges will be deducted in connection with the Policy to compensate Ameritas
for: (1) providing the insurance benefits set forth in the Policy and any
optional insurance benefits added by rider; (2) administering the Policy and
payment of applicable taxes; (3) assuming certain risks in connection with the
Policy; and (4) incurring expenses in distributing the Policy. The nature and
amount of these charges are described more fully below.

DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM PAYMENTS
PERCENT OF PREMIUM CHARGE FOR TAXES. A deduction of up to 3% of the premium is
made from each premium payment; currently the charge is 3%. The deduction is
intended to partially offset the premium taxes imposed by the states and their
subdivisions, and to help defray the tax cost due to capitalizing certain Policy
acquisition expenses as required under applicable federal tax laws. (See the
section on Federal Tax Matters .) Ameritas does not expect to derive a profit
from the Percent of Premium Charge for Taxes.

CHARGES FROM ACCUMULATION VALUE
MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS. Charges will be deducted as of the Policy Date and on each
Monthly Activity Date thereafter from the Accumulation Value of the Policy to
compensate Ameritas for administrative expenses and insurance provided. These
charges will be allocated from the Investment Options in accordance with your
instructions. If no instructions are given the charges will be allocated pro
rata among the Investment Options. Each of these charges is described in more
detail below.

                                     LLSVUL
                                       29
<PAGE>   30

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE. To compensate Ameritas for the ordinary
administrative expenses expected to be incurred in connection with a Policy, the
Monthly Deduction may include a level per Policy charge. In addition, for all
Specified Amounts there may be a charge of up to $.10 per month per $1000 of
Specified Amount, depending on the younger Insured's Issue Age. The current
Administrative Expense Charge is $0 per month plus $.10 per month per $1000 of
Specified Amount for Issue Ages 20-44, $.08 for Issue Ages 45-54, $.05 for Issue
Ages 55-64, and $.00 for Issue Ages 65 and over. At the current time we
anticipate that the Administrative Expense Charge will reduce to $.00 in year 6
for all ages. The Administrative Expense Charge may be levied throughout the
life of the Policy and is guaranteed not to increase above $9 per month plus a
charge per month per $1000 of Specified Amount of $.10 for Issue Ages 20-44,
$.08 for Issue Ages 45-64 and $.05 for Issue Ages 65 and over. Ameritas does not
expect to make any profit from the Administrative Expense Charge.

COST OF INSURANCE.  Because the Cost of Insurance depends upon several
variables, the cost for each Policy Month can vary from month to month. Ameritas
will determine the monthly Cost of Insurance by multiplying the applicable Cost
of Insurance Rate by the Net Amount at Risk for each Policy Month.

COST OF INSURANCE RATE.  The Annual Cost of Insurance Rates are based on the
Issue Age, sex and risk class of each Insured and the Policy duration. The rates
will vary depending upon tobacco use and other risk factors. The rates will be
based on Ameritas' expectations of future experience with regard to mortality,
interest, persistency, and expenses, but will not exceed the Schedule of
Guaranteed Annual Cost of Insurance Rates shown in the Policy. The guaranteed
rates for standard rating classes are calculated from the 1980 Commissioners
Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker, Male and Female Mortality Tables. The
guaranteed rates for the table-rated substandard Insureds are based on a
multiple (shown in the schedule pages of the Policy) of the above rates. We may
add flat extra ratings to one or both Insureds to reflect higher mortality risk.
Because the Death Benefit is payable at the Second Death only, one-half of each
applicable flat extra rating will be added to adjust the Cost of Insurance Rate.
Any change in the Cost of Insurance Rates will apply to all Insureds of the same
age, sex, risk class and whose Policies have been in effect for the same length
of time.

The Cost of Insurance Rates and payment options for Policies issued in Montana,
and perhaps other states or in connection with certain employee benefit
arrangements, are issued on a sex-neutral (unisex) basis. The unisex rates will
be higher than those applicable to females and lower than those applicable to
males. The actual charges made during the Policy year will be shown in the
annual report delivered to Policy Owners.

RATING CLASS.  The rating class of each Insured will affect the Cost of
Insurance Rate. Ameritas currently places Insureds into both standard rating
classes and substandard rating classes that involve a higher mortality risk. In
an otherwise identical Policy, Insureds in the standard rating class will have a
lower Cost of Insurance Rate than when either or both Insureds are in a rating
class with higher mortality risks.

TRANSFER CHARGE.  Currently there is no charge for transfers among the
investment options in excess of 15 per Policy Year. A charge of $10 (guaranteed
not to increase) for each transfer in excess of 15 may be imposed to compensate
Ameritas for the costs of processing the transfer. Since the charge reimburses
Ameritas only for the cost of processing the transfer, Ameritas does not expect
to make any profit from the transfer charge. This charge will be deducted pro
rata from each Subaccount (and, if applicable, the Fixed Account) in which the
Policy Owner is invested. The transfer charge will not be imposed on transfers
that occur as a result of Policy loans or the exercise of exchange rights.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE.  A charge will be imposed for each partial
withdrawal. This charge will compensate Ameritas for the administrative costs of
processing the requested payment and in making necessary calculations for any
reductions in Specified Amount which may be required because of the partial
withdrawal. This charge is currently the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount
withdrawn (guaranteed not to be greater than the lesser of $50 or 2% of the
amount withdrawn). No partial withdrawal charge is assessed when a Policy is
Surrendered.

DAILY CHARGES AGAINST THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
A daily Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be deducted from the value of the
net assets of Separate Account LLVL to compensate Ameritas for mortality and
expense risks assumed in connection with the

                                     LLSVUL
                                       30
<PAGE>   31

Policy. This daily charge from Separate Account LLVL is at the rate of 0.001093%
(equivalent to an annual rate of .40%) for Policy Years 1-15 and 0.000273%
(equivalent to an annual rate of .10%) thereafter. The daily charge will be
deducted from the net asset value of Separate Account LLVL, and therefore the
Subaccounts, on each Valuation Date. Where the previous day or days was not a
Valuation Date, the deduction on the Valuation Date will be the applicable daily
rate multiplied by the number of days since the last Valuation Date. No
Mortality and Expense Risk Charges will be deducted from the amounts in the
Fixed Account.

Ameritas believes that this level of charge is within the range of industry
practice for comparable survivorship flexible premium variable universal life
policies. The mortality risk assumed by Ameritas is that Insureds may live for a
shorter time than calculated, and that the aggregate amount of Death Benefits
paid will be greater than initially estimated. The expense risk assumed is that
expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policies will exceed the
administrative charges provided in the Policies.

An Asset-Based Administrative Expense Charge will also be deducted from the
value of the net assets of Separate Account LLVL on a daily basis. This charge
is applied at a rate of 0.000546% (equivalent to .20% annually). No Asset-Based
Administrative Expense Charge will be deducted from the amounts in the Fixed
Account.

There are no Surrender charges.

Policy Owners who choose to allocate Net Premiums to one or more of the
Subaccounts will also bear a pro rata share of the management fees and expenses
paid by each of the investment portfolios in which the various Subaccounts
invest. No such management fees are assessed against Net Premiums allocated to
the Fixed Account. (See the Summary section for the Fund Expense Summary.)

Ameritas may receive administrative fees from the investment advisers of certain
Funds. Ameritas currently does not assess a separate charge against Separate
Account LLVL or the Fixed Account for any federal, state or local income taxes.
Ameritas may, however, make such a charge in the future if income or gains
within Separate Account LLVL will incur any federal, or any significant state or
local income tax liability, or if the federal, state or local tax treatment of
Ameritas changes.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

THE CONTRACT.  The Policy, the application, any supplemental applications, and
any riders, amendments or endorsements make up the entire contract. Only the
President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary can modify the
Policy. Any changes must be made in writing, and approved by Ameritas. No agent
has the authority to alter or modify any of the terms, conditions or agreements
of the Policy or to waive any of its provisions. The rights and benefits under
the Policy are summarized in this prospectus; however prospectus disclosure
regarding the Policy is qualified in its entirety by the Policy itself, a copy
of which is available upon request from Ameritas.

CONTROL OF POLICY.  The Policy Owner is as shown in the application or
subsequent written endorsement. Subject to the rights of any irrevocable
Beneficiary and any assignee of record, all rights, options, and privileges
belong to the Policy Owner, if living; otherwise to any successor-owner or
owners, if living; otherwise to the estate of the last Policy Owner to die.

BENEFICIARY.  Policy Owners may name both primary and contingent Beneficiaries
in the application. Payments will be shared equally among Beneficiaries of the
same class unless otherwise stated. If a Beneficiary dies before the Second
Death, payments will be made to any surviving Beneficiaries of the same class;
otherwise to any Beneficiary(ies) of the next class; otherwise to the Policy
Owner; otherwise to the estate of the Policy Owner.

CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY.  The Policy Owner may change the Beneficiary by written
request at any time while at least one Insured is alive unless otherwise
provided in the previous designation of Beneficiary. The change will take effect
as of the date the change is recorded at the Home Office. Ameritas will not be
liable for any payment made or action taken before the change is recorded.

CHANGE OF POLICY OWNER OR ASSIGNMENT.  In order to change the Policy Owner of
the Policy or assign Policy rights, an assignment of the Policy must be made in
writing and filed with Ameritas at its Home Office. Any such assignment is
subject to Outstanding Policy Debt. The change will take effect as of the date
the change is recorded at the Home Office, and Ameritas will not be liable for
any payment made or action taken before the change is recorded. Payment of Death
Benefit Proceeds is subject to the rights of any assignee of record. A
collateral assignment is not a change of ownership.

PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS.  The Death Benefit Proceeds are subject first to any debt
to Ameritas and then to the interest of any assignee of record. The balance of
any Death Benefit Proceeds shall be paid in one sum to the designated
beneficiary unless an Optional Method of Payment is selected. If no Beneficiary
survives at the time of the Second Death, the Death Benefit Proceeds shall be
paid in one sum to the Policy Owner, if living; otherwise to any
successor-owner, if living; otherwise to the Policy Owner's estate. Any proceeds
payable upon Surrender shall be paid in one sum unless an Optional Method of
Payment is elected.

INCONTESTABILITY.  Ameritas cannot contest the Policy or reinstated Policy while
at least one Insured is alive after it has been in force for two years from the
Policy Date (or reinstatement effective date). After the Policy Date, Ameritas
cannot contest an increase in the Specified Amount or addition of a rider while
at least one Insured is alive, after such increase or addition has been in force
for two years from its effective date. However, this two year provision shall
not apply to riders with their own contestability provision. We may require
proof prior to the end of the appropriate contestability period that both
Insureds are living.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE AND SEX.  If the age or sex of either Insured or any person
insured by rider has been misstated, the amount of the Death Benefit and any
added riders provided will be those that would be purchased by the most recent
deduction for the Cost of Insurance and the cost of any additional riders at the
correct age and sex of the Insureds. The Death Benefit Proceeds will be adjusted
correspondingly.

SUICIDE.  The Policy does not cover suicide within two years of the Policy Date
unless otherwise provided by a state's insurance law. If either Insured, while
sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after the Policy Date, Ameritas
will pay only the premiums received less any partial withdrawals, the cost for
riders and any outstanding Policy debt. If either Insured, while sane or insane,
commits suicide within two years after the effective date of any increase in the
Specified Amount, Ameritas' liability with respect to

                                     LLSVUL
                                       32
<PAGE>   33

such increase will only be its total cost of insurance applicable to the
increase. The laws of Missouri provide that death by suicide at any time is
covered by the Policy, and further that suicide by an insane person may be
considered an accidental death.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS.  Payment of any amount upon Surrender, partial
withdrawal, Policy loans, benefits payable at the Second Death, and transfers
may be postponed whenever: (1) the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed
other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the NYSE is
restricted as determined by the SEC; (2) the SEC by order permits postponement
for the protection of Policy Owners; (3) an emergency exists, as determined by
the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably
practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of
Separate Account LLVL's net assets; or (4) Surrenders, loans or partial
withdrawals from the Fixed Account may be deferred for up to 6 months from the
date of written request. Payments under the Policy of any amounts derived from
premiums paid by check may be delayed until such time as the check has cleared
the Policy Owner's bank.

REPORTS AND RECORDS. Ameritas will maintain all records relating to Separate
Account LLVL and will mail to the Policy Owner, at the last known address of
record, within 30 days after each Policy Anniversary, an annual report which
shows the current Accumulation Value, Net Cash Surrender Value, Death Benefit,
premiums paid, Outstanding Policy Debt and other information. Quarterly
statements are also mailed detailing Policy activity during the calendar
quarter. Instead of receiving an immediate confirmation of transactions made
pursuant to some types of periodic payment plan (such as a dollar cost averaging
program, or payment made by automatic bank draft or salary reduction
arrangement), the Policy Owner may receive confirmation of such transactions in
their quarterly statements. The Policy Owner should review the information in
these statements carefully. All errors or corrections must be reported to
Ameritas immediately to assure proper crediting to the Policy. Ameritas will
assume all transactions are accurately reported on quarterly statements unless
Ameritas is notified otherwise within 30 days after receipt of the statement.
The Policy Owner will also be sent a periodic report for the Funds and a list of
the portfolio securities held in each portfolio of the Funds.

ADDITIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS (RIDERS). Subject to certain requirements, one or
more of the following additional insurance benefits may be added to a Policy by
rider. All riders are not available in all states. The cost, if any, of
additional insurance benefits will be deducted as part of the Monthly Deduction.

        ACCELERATED BENEFIT RIDER FOR TERMINAL ILLNESS (LIVING BENEFIT
        RIDER). Upon Satisfactory Proof of Death of one Insured, and
        satisfactory proof of terminal illness of the surviving Insured after
        the two-year contestable period (no waiting period in certain states),
        Ameritas will accelerate the payment of up to 50% of the lowest
        scheduled Death Benefit as provided by eligible coverages, less an
        amount up to two guideline level premiums.

        Future premium allocations after the payment of the benefit must be
        allocated to the Fixed Account. Payment will not be made for amounts
        less than $4,000 or more than $250,000 on all policies issued by
        Ameritas or its affiliates that provide coverage on the surviving
        Insured. Ameritas may charge the lesser of 2% of the benefit or $50 as
        an expense charge to cover the costs of administration.

        Satisfactory proof of terminal illness of the last surviving Insured
        must include a written statement from a licensed physician who is not
        related to the Insured or the Policy Owner stating that the Insured has
        a non-correctable medical condition that, with a reasonable degree of
        medical certainty, will result in the death of the Insured in less than
        12 months (6 months in certain states) from the date of the physician's
        statement. Further, the condition must first be diagnosed while the
        Policy is in force.

        The accelerated benefit first will be used to repay any Outstanding
        Policy Debt, and will also affect future loans, partial withdrawals, and
        Surrenders. The accelerated benefit will be treated as a lien against
        the Policy Death Benefit and will thus reduce the Death Benefit
        Proceeds. Interest on the lien will be charged at the Policy loan
        interest rate. There is no extra premium for this rider.

                                     LLSVUL
                                       33
<PAGE>   34

        ESTATE PROTECTION RIDER. This rider provides a specified amount of
        insurance to the Beneficiary upon receipt of Satisfactory Proof of Death
        of both Insureds during the first four Policy Years.

        FIRST-TO-DIE TERM RIDER. This rider provides a specified amount of
        insurance to the Beneficiary upon receipt of Satisfactory Proof of Death
        of either of the two Insureds.

        SECOND-TO-DIE TERM RIDER. This rider provides a specified amount of
        insurance to the Beneficiary upon receipt of Satisfactory Proof of Death
        of both Insureds.

        TERM RIDER FOR COVERED INSURED. This rider provides a specified amount
        of insurance to the Beneficiary upon receipt of Satisfactory Proof of
        Death of the rider Insured, as identified. The rider may be purchased on
        either Insured or on an individual other than the Insureds.

        TOTAL DISABILITY RIDER. This rider provides for the payment by Ameritas
        of a disability benefit in the form of premiums while the Insured is
        disabled. The benefit amount may be chosen by the Policy Owner at the
        issue of the rider. In addition, while the Insured is totally disabled,
        the Cost of Insurance for the rider will not be deducted from
        Accumulation Value. The rider may be purchased on either or both
        Insureds.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES

Ameritas Investment Corp. (AIC), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMAL Corporation,
will act as the principal underwriter of the Policies, pursuant to an
Underwriting Agreement between itself and Ameritas. AIC was organized under the
laws of the State of Nebraska on December 29, 1983 and is a registered
broker-dealer pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers. In 1999, AIC received gross
variable universal life compensation of $198,771, and retained $10,753 in
underwriting fees, and $19 in brokerage commissions on Ameritas' variable
universal life policies.

AIC offers its clients a wide variety of financial products and services and has
the ability to execute stock and bond transactions on a number of national
exchanges. AIC also serves as principal underwriter for Ameritas' variable
annuity, and for Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company's variable life and
variable annuities. Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company is an affiliate of
Ameritas. It also has executed selling agreements with a variety of mutual
funds, unit investment trusts and direct participation programs.

There is no premium load to cover sales and distribution expenses. To the extent
that sales and distribution expenses are paid, if at all, Ameritas will pay them
from its other assets or surplus in its General Account, which include amounts
derived from mortality and expense risk charges and other charges made under the
Policy.

Policies can be purchased directly from Ameritas through its direct consumer
services, with salaried employees who are registered representatives of AIC and
who will not receive compensation related to the purchase.

Policies can be purchased from field representatives who are registered
representatives of AIC, or from registered representatives of other registered
broker-dealers authorized to sell the policies subject to applicable law. In
these situations, AIC or the other broker-dealer may receive compensation in an
amount no greater than 15% of the target first year premium paid plus the first
year cost of any riders, and 2% of excess first year premium. AIC or the other
broker-dealer may pass a portion of this compensation on to the registered
representative or the manager of the registered representative.

Upon any subsequent increase in Specified Amount or any subsequent increase in
riders, marketing allowances will also be paid based on the amount of the
increase in Specified Amount or increase in rider.

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

The following discussion provides a general description of the federal income
tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be
complete or cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice.
No attempt has been made to consider in detail any applicable state or other tax
laws except premium taxes. (See discussion in the section on Deductions from
Premium Payments -- Percent of

                                     LLSVUL
                                       34
<PAGE>   35

Premium Charge for Taxes.) This discussion is based upon Ameritas' understanding
of the relevant laws at the time of filing. Counsel and other competent tax
advisors should be consulted for more complete information before a Policy is
purchased. Ameritas makes no representation as to the likelihood of the
continuation of present federal income tax laws nor of the interpretations by
the Internal Revenue Service. Federal tax laws are subject to change and thus
tax consequences to the Insureds, Policy Owner or Beneficiary may be altered.

(1)   TAXATION OF AMERITAS. Ameritas is taxed as a life insurance company under
      Part I of Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code").
      At this time, since Separate Account LLVL is not a separate entity from
      Ameritas, and its operations form a part of Ameritas, it will not be taxed
      separately as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the
      Code. Net investment income and realized net capital gains on the assets
      of Separate Account LLVL are reinvested and automatically retained as a
      part of the reserves of the Policy and are taken into account in
      determining the Death Benefit and Accumulation Value of the Policy.
      Ameritas believes that Separate Account LLVL net investment income and
      realized net capital gains will not be taxable to the extent that such
      income and gains are retained as reserves under the Policy.

      Ameritas does not currently expect to incur any federal income tax
      liability attributable to Separate Account LLVL with respect to the sale
      of the Policies. Accordingly, no charge is being made currently to
      Separate Account LLVL for federal income taxes. If, however, Ameritas
      determines that it may incur such taxes attributable to Separate Account
      LLVL, it may assess a charge for such taxes against Separate Account LLVL.

      Ameritas may also incur state and local taxes (in addition to premium
      taxes for which a deduction from premiums is currently made). At present,
      they are not charges against Separate Account LLVL. If there is a material
      change in state or local tax laws, charges for such taxes attributable to
      Separate Account LLVL, if any, may be assessed against Separate Account
      LLVL.

(2)   TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. The Code (Section 7702) includes a definition of
      a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes which places
      limitations on the amount of premiums that may be paid for the Policy and
      the relationship of the Accumulation Value to the Death Benefit. While
      Ameritas believes that the Policy meets the statutory definition of a life
      insurance contract under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 and should
      receive federal income tax treatment consistent with that of a
      fixed-benefit life insurance policy, the area of tax law relating to the
      definition of life insurance does not explicitly address all relevant
      issues (including, for example, certain tax requirements relating to
      survivorship variable universal life policies). Ameritas reserves the
      right to make changes to the Policy if deemed appropriate by Ameritas to
      attempt to assure qualification of the Policy as a life insurance
      contract. If the Policy were determined not to qualify as life insurance
      under Code Section 7702, the Policy would not provide the tax advantages
      normally provided by life insurance. If the Death Benefit of a Policy is
      changed, the applicable defined limits may change.

      The Code (Section 7702A) also defines a "modified endowment contract" for
      federal tax purposes. If a life insurance policy is classified as a
      modified endowment contract, distributions from it (including loans) are
      taxed as ordinary income to the extent of any gain. This Policy will
      become a "modified endowment contract" if the premiums paid into the
      Policy fail to meet a 7-pay premium test as outlined in Section 7702A of
      the Code.

      Certain benefits the Policy Owner may elect under this Policy may be
      material changes affecting the 7-pay premium test. These include, but are
      not limited to, changes in Death Benefits and changes in the Specified
      Amount. One may avoid a Policy becoming a modified endowment contract by,
      among other things, not making excessive payments or reducing benefits.
      Should you deposit excessive premiums during a Policy Year, that portion
      that is returned by Ameritas within 60 days after the Policy Anniversary
      Date will reduce the premiums paid to prevent the Policy from becoming a
      modified endowment contract. All modified endowment policies issued by
      Ameritas to the same Policy Owner in any 12 month period are treated as
      one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining taxable gain
      under Section 72(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. Any life insurance
      policy received in exchange for a modified endowment contract will also be
      treated as a

                                       35

      modified endowment contract. You should contact a competent tax
      professional before paying additional premiums or making other changes to
      the Policy to determine whether such payments or changes would cause the
      Policy to become a modified endowment contract.

      The Code (Section 817(h)) also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
      (the "Treasury") to set standards by regulation or otherwise for the
      investments of Separate Account LLVL to be "adequately diversified" in
      order for the Policy to be treated as a life insurance contract for
      federal tax purposes. If the Policy is not treated as life insurance
      because it fails the diversification requirements, the Policy Owner is
      then subject to federal income tax gain in the Policy as it is earned.
      Separate Account LLVL, through the Funds, intends to comply with the
      diversification requirements prescribed by the Treasury in regulations
      published in the Federal Register on March 2, 1989, which affect how the
      Fund's assets may be invested.

      While AIC and CAMCO, Ameritas affiliates, are investment advisers to
      certain of the portfolios, Ameritas does not have control over the Funds
      or their investments. However, Ameritas believes that the Funds will be
      operated in compliance with the diversification requirements of the
      Internal Revenue Code. Thus, Ameritas believes that the Policy will be
      treated as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

      In connection with the issuance of regulations relating to the
      diversification requirements, the Treasury announced that such regulations
      do not provide guidance concerning the extent to which policy owners may
      direct their investments to particular divisions of a separate account.
      Regulations in this regard may be issued in the future. It is not clear
      what these regulations will provide nor whether they will be prospective
      only. It is possible that when regulations are issued, the Policy may need
      to be modified to comply with such regulations. For these reasons,
      Ameritas reserves the right to modify the Policy as necessary to prevent
      the Policy Owner from being considered the owner of the assets of Separate
      Account LLVL or otherwise to qualify the Policy for favorable tax
      treatment.

      The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
      insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

(3)   TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY PROCEEDS. Ameritas believes that the Policy will
      be treated in a manner consistent with a fixed benefit life insurance
      policy for federal income tax purposes. Thus, Ameritas believes that the
      Death Benefit will generally be excludable from the gross income of the
      Beneficiary under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code and the Policy Owner will
      not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the Accumulation Value
      under the Policy until its actual Surrender. However, there are certain
      exceptions to the general rule that death benefit proceeds are
      non-taxable. Federal, state and local tax consequences of ownership of or
      receipt of proceeds under a Policy depends on the circumstances of each
      Policy Owner and Beneficiary.

      Distributions From Policies That Are Not "Modified Endowment Contracts."
      Distributions (while one or both Insureds are still alive) from a Policy
      that is not a modified endowment contract are generally treated as first a
      recovery of the investment in the Policy and then only after the return of
      all such investment, as disbursing taxable income. However, in the case of
      a decrease in the Death Benefit, a partial withdrawal, a change in Death
      Benefit option, or any other such change that reduces future benefits
      under the Policy during the first 15 years after a Policy is issued and
      that results in a cash distribution to the Policy Owner in order for the
      Policy to continue complying with the Section 7702 defined limits on
      premiums and Accumulation Values, such distributions may be taxable in
      whole or in part as ordinary income to the Policy Owner (to the extent of
      any gain in the Policy) as prescribed in Section 7702. In addition, upon a
      complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a "modified endowment
      contract," if the amount received plus the amount of any outstanding
      Policy debt exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess will
      generally be treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. Investment in
      the Policy means (1) the total amount of any premiums paid for the Policy
      plus the amount of any loan received under the Policy to the extent the
      loan is included in gross income of the Policy owner minus (2) the total
      amount received under the Policy by the Policy Owner that was excludable
      from gross income, excluding any non-taxable loan received under the
      Policy.

                                     LLSVUL
                                       36
<PAGE>   37

      Ameritas also believes that loans received under a Policy that is not a
      "modified endowment contract" will be treated as debt of the Policy Owner
      and that no part of any loan under a Policy will constitute income to the
      Policy Owner so long as the Policy remains in force. Should the Policy
      lapse while Policy loans are outstanding the portion of the loans
      attributable to earnings will become taxable. Generally, interest paid on
      any loan under a Policy owned by an individual will not be tax-deductible.

      Except for Policies with respect to a limited number of key persons of an
      employer (both as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), and subject to
      applicable interest rate caps, the Health Insurance Portability and
      Accountability Act of 1996 (the "Health Insurance Act") generally repealed
      the deduction for interest paid or accrued after October 13, 1995 on loans
      from corporate owned life insurance policies on the lives of officers,
      employees or persons financially interested in the taxpayer's trade or
      business. Certain transitional rules for existing debt are included in the
      Health Insurance Act. The transitional rules included a phase-out of the
      deduction for debt incurred (1) before January 1, 1996, or (2) before
      January 1, 1997, for policies entered into in 1994 or 1995. The phase-out
      of the interest expense deduction occurred over a transition period
      between October 13, 1995 and January 1, 1999. There is also a special rule
      for pre-June 21, 1986 policies. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 ("TRA
      '97"), further expanded the interest deduction disallowance for businesses
      by providing, with respect to policies issued after June 8, 1997, that no
      deduction is allowed for interest paid or accrued on any debt with respect
      to life insurance covering the life of any individual (except as noted
      above under pre-"97 law with respect to key persons and pre-June 21, 1986
      policies). Any material change in a policy (including a material increase
      in the death benefit) may cause the policy to be treated as a new policy
      for purposes of the rule. TRA '97 also provides that no deduction is
      permissible for premiums paid on a life insurance policy if the taxpayer
      is directly or indirectly a beneficiary under the policy. Also under TRA
      '97 and subject to certain exceptions, for policies issued after June 8,
      1997, no deduction is allowed for that portion of a taxpayer's interest
      expense that is allocable to unborrowed Policy cash values. This
      disallowance generally does not apply to policies owned by natural
      persons. Policy Owners should consult a competent tax advisor concerning
      the tax implications of these changes for their Policies.

      Distributions From Policies That Are "Modified Endowment Contracts."
      Should the Policy become a "modified endowment contract" partial
      withdrawals, full Surrenders, assignments, pledges, and loans (including
      loans to pay loan interest) under the Policy will be taxable to the extent
      of any gain under the Policy. A 10% penalty tax also applies to the
      taxable portion of any distribution made prior to the taxpayer's age
      59 1/2. The 10% penalty tax does not apply if the distribution is made
      because the taxpayer is disabled as defined under the Code or if the
      distribution is paid out in the form of a life annuity on the life of the
      taxpayer or the joint lives of the taxpayer and Beneficiary.

      The right to exchange the Policy for a survivorship flexible premium
      adjustable life insurance policy (See the section on Exchange Privilege.),
      the right to change Policy Owners (See the section on General
      Provisions.), and the provision for partial withdrawals (See the section
      on Surrenders.) may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances
      of such exchange, change, or withdrawal. Upon complete Surrender, if the
      amount received plus any Outstanding Policy Debt exceeds the total
      premiums paid (the "basis"), that are not treated as previously withdrawn
      by the Policy Owner, the excess generally will be taxed as ordinary
      income.

      Federal estate and state and local estate, inheritance, and other tax
      consequences of ownership or receipt of Death Benefit Proceeds depend on
      applicable law and the circumstances of each Policy Owner or Beneficiary.
      In addition, if the Policy is used in connection with tax-qualified
      retirement plans, certain limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue
      Service on, and rules with respect to the taxation of, life insurance
      protection provided through such plans may apply. Further, the tax
      consequences of using the Policy in nonqualified plan arrangements may
      vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the
      arrangement. The advice of competent counsel should be sought in
      connection with use of life insurance in a qualified or nonqualified plan.

SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS

Ameritas holds the assets of Separate Account LLVL. The assets are kept
physically segregated and held separately and apart from the General Account
assets, except for the Fixed Account. Ameritas maintains records of all
purchases and redemptions of Funds' shares by each of the Subaccounts.

THIRD PARTY SERVICES

Ameritas is aware that certain third parties are offering investment advisory,
asset allocation, money management and timing services in connection with the
Policies. Ameritas does not engage any such third parties to offer such services
of any type. In certain cases, Ameritas has agreed to honor transfer
instructions from such services where it has received powers of attorney, in a
form acceptable to it, from the Policy Owners participating in the service.
Firms or persons offering such services do so independently from any agency
relationship they may have with Ameritas for the sale of Policies. Ameritas
takes no responsibility for the investment allocations and transfers transacted
on a Policy Owner's behalf by such third parties or any investment allocation
recommendations made by such parties. Policy Owners should be aware that fees
paid for such services are separate and in addition to fees paid under the
Policies.

VOTING RIGHTS

Ameritas is the legal holder of the shares held in the Subaccounts of Separate
Account LLVL and as such has the right to vote the shares, to elect Directors of
the Funds, and to vote on matters that are required by the Investment Company
Act of 1940 and upon any other matter that may be voted upon at a shareholder
meeting. To the extent required by law, Ameritas will vote all shares of each of
the Funds held in Separate Account LLVL at regular and special shareholder
meetings of the Funds according to instructions received from Policy Owners
based on the number of shares held as of the record date for such meeting.

The number of Fund shares in a Subaccount for which instructions may be given by
a Policy Owner is determined by dividing the Accumulation Value held in that
Subaccount by the net asset value of one share in the corresponding portfolio of
the Fund. Fractional shares will be counted. Fund shares held in each Subaccount
for which no timely instructions from Policy Owners are received and Fund shares
held in each Subaccount which do not support Policy Owner interests will be
voted by Ameritas in the same proportion as those shares in that Subaccount for
which timely instructions are received. Voting instructions to abstain on any
item to be voted will be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the votes
eligible to be cast. Should applicable federal securities laws or regulations
permit, Ameritas may elect to vote shares of the Fund in its own right.

DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTION.  Ameritas may, if required by state insurance
officials, disregard voting instructions if those instructions would require
shares to be voted to cause a change in the subclassification or investment
objectives or policies of one or more of the Funds' portfolios, or to approve or
disapprove an investment adviser or principal underwriter for the Funds. In
addition, Ameritas itself may disregard voting instructions that would require
changes in the investment objectives or policies of any portfolio or in an
investment adviser or principal underwriter for the Funds, if Ameritas
reasonably disapproves those changes in accordance with applicable federal
regulations. If Ameritas does disregard voting instructions, it will advise
Policy Owners of that action and its reasons for the action in the next annual
report or proxy statement to Policy Owners.

STATE REGULATION OF AMERITAS

Ameritas, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of Nebraska,

March 1 of each year an NAIC convention blank covering the operations and

December 31 of the preceding year must be filed with the Nebraska Department of
Insurance.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
Ameritas Life Insurance Corp.
Lincoln, Nebraska

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of each of the
subaccounts of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Separate Account LLVL (comprising,
respectively, the Money Market Portfolio, Equity Index Portfolio, Equity Income
Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, High-Grade Bond Portfolio,
International Portfolio, High Yield Bond Portfolio (commenced March 10, 1997),
and Small Company Growth Portfolio (commenced January 29, 1997) of the Vanguard
Variable Insurance Fund; the Balanced Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Partners
Portfolio, Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, and Liquid Assets Portfolio
(commenced November 15, 1999) of the Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management
Trust; the 100 Fund Portfolio (commenced June 11, 1997), and Small Company
Growth Portfolio (commenced May 21, 1997) of the Berger Institutional Products
Trust; the Nova Portfolio (commenced July 6, 1999) OTC Portfolio (commenced July
1, 1999), Precious Metals Portfolio (commenced August 10, 1999), Ursa Portfolio
(commenced July 27, 1999), and U.S. Government Bond Portfolio (commenced October
6, 1999) of the Rydex Variable Trust; and the EAFE Equity Index Portfolio
(commenced November 29, 1999), and Equity 500 Index Portfolio (commenced
November 29, 1999) of the BT Insurance Funds Trust) as of December 31, 1999, and
the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the
three years in the period 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned at December 31, 1999. 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 our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the subaccounts constituting
Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Separate Account LLVL as of December 31, 1999, and
the results of its operations and changes in net assets for each of the three
years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Separate Account LLVL (the Account) was
established under Nebraska law on August 24, 1994. The assets of the Account are
held by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. (ALIC) and are segregated from all of
ALIC's other assets.

The Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a unit investment trust. At December 31, 1999, there are twenty three
subaccounts within the Account. Nine of the subaccounts invest only in a
corresponding Portfolio of the Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund which is a
diversified open-end management investment company managed by The Vanguard
Group. Five of the subaccounts invest only in a corresponding Portfolio of the
Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management Trust which is a diversified open-end
management investment company managed by Neuberger & Berman Management
Incorporated. Two of the subaccounts invest only in a corresponding Portfolio of
the Berger Institutional Products Trust which is a diversified open-end
management investment company managed by Berger Associates. Five of the
subaccounts invest only in a corresponding Portfolio at the Rydex Variable Trust
which is a diversified open-end management investment company managed by PADCO
Advisors II, Inc. Two of the subaccounts invest only in a corresponding
Portfolio of BT Insurance Funds Trust which is a diversified open-end management
investment company managed by Bankers Trust Company. Each Portfolio pays the
manager a monthly fee for managing its investments and business affairs.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

The assets of the account are carried at the net asset value of the underlying
Portfolios. The value of the policyowners' units corresponds to the Account's
investment in the underlying subaccounts. The availability of investment
portfolio and subaccount options may vary between products. Share transactions
and security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES

The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of
ALIC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
Code. ALIC has the right to charge the Account any federal income taxes, or
provision for federal income taxes, attributable to the operations of the
Account or to the policies funded in the Account. Currently, ALIC does not make
a charge for income or other taxes. Charges for state and local taxes, if any,
attributable to the Account may also be made.

2. POLICYOWNER CHARGES

ALIC charges the account for mortality and expense risks assumed. A daily charge
is made on the average daily value of the net assets representing equity of
policyowners held in each subaccount per each product's current policy
provisions. Additional charges are made at intervals and in amounts per each
product's current policy provisions. These charges are prorated against the
balance in each investment option of the policyowner, including the Fixed
Account option which is not reflected in this separate account.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
Ameritas Life Insurance Corp.
Lincoln, Nebraska

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ameritas Life
Insurance Corp. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameritas Holding Company) and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. (Ameritas) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Ameritas Holding Company (AHC) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameritas
Acacia Mutual Holding Corporation (AAMHC).

In 1998, the Board of Directors of Ameritas Mutual Insurance Holding Company
(AMIHC) and Acacia Mutual Holding Corporation (AMHC) approved and adopted a plan
of merger under which the two would merge to form AAMHC. In addition, their two
wholly owned subsidiaries, AHC and Acacia Financial Group, Ltd. (AFG), would
merge to form Ameritas Holding Company. Public information hearings on the
proposed merger were held on November 20, 1998 with the Nebraska Insurance
Director and on December 17, 1998 with the D.C. Insurance Commissioner.
Following the commissioner's approval a special meeting with the eligible
members of AMHC was held on December 22, 1998 and the members of AMIHC on
December 29, 1998. With the members approval, the merger became effective
January 1, 1999. The business combination was accounted for as a pooling of
interests.

On September 13, 1997, the Board of Directors of Ameritas adopted the Plan which
authorized the reorganization (Reorganization) of Ameritas into a mutual
insurance holding company structure. The Nebraska Department of Insurance held a
public hearing on the Reorganization on October 14, 1997 and approved the Plan
on October 24, 1997. The policyowners' of Ameritas approved the Plan on December
8, 1997 and the Reorganization became effective on January 1, 1998 (effective
date).

Pursuant to the Reorganization, Ameritas (i) formed AMIHC as a mutual insurance
holding company under the insurance laws of the State of Nebraska, (ii) formed
AHC as an intermediate stock holding company under the general laws of the State
of Nebraska, and (iii) amended and restated its Charter and Articles of
Incorporation to authorize the issuance of capital stock and the continuance of
its existence as a stock life insurance company under the same name. As of the
effective date of the Reorganization, the membership interests and the
contractual rights of the policyowners of Ameritas were separated -- the
membership interests automatically became, by operation of law, membership
interests in AMIHC and the contractual rights remained in Ameritas. Each person
who becomes the owner of a designated policy issued by Ameritas after the
effective date of the Reorganization will become a member of AMIHC and have a
membership interest in AMIHC so long as such policy remains in force. The
membership interests in AMIHC follow, and are not severable, from the policy
from which the membership interest in AMIHC is derived.

On the effective date, Ameritas issued 25 million of its authorized shares of
capital stock to AMIHC. AMIHC then contributed all of these to AHC in exchange
for 20 million shares of its common stock. As a result, AHC directly owns
Ameritas, and AMIHC indirectly owns Ameritas, through AHC. The reorganization
was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and disclosures
reflect the operations of Ameritas for all periods presented.

Ameritas' insurance operations consist of life and health insurance and annuity
and pension contracts. Ameritas and its subsidiaries operates in all 50 states
and the District of Columbia. Wholly owned insurance subsidiaries include First
Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Of New York and Pathmark Assurance Company.
Ameritas is also a 66% owner of AMAL Corporation (incorporated March 8, 1996),
which owns 100% of Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company and Ameritas
Investment Corp. (a broker/dealer). In addition to the subsidiaries noted above,
Ameritas conducts other diversified financial-service-related operations through
the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Veritas Corp (a marketing organization
for low-load insurance products); Ameritas Investment Advisors, Inc. (an advisor
providing investment management services); and Ameritas Managed Dental Plan,
Inc. (A prepaid dental organization).

CLOSED BLOCK

Effective October 1, 1998 (the Effective Date) Ameritas formed a closed block
(the Closed Block) of policies, under an arrangement approved by the Insurance
Department of the State of Nebraska, to provide for dividends on policies that
were in force on the Effective Date and which were within the classes of
individual policies for which Ameritas had a dividend scale in effect on the
Effective Date. The Closed Block was designed to give reasonable assurance to
owners of affected policies that the assets will be available to support such
policies including maintaining dividend scales in effect at the Effective Date,
if the experience underlying such scales continues. The assets, including
revenue thereon, will accrue solely to the benefit of the owners of policies
included in the block until the block is no longer in effect.

The financial results of the Closed Block, while prepared on a GAAP basis,
reflect the provisions of the approved arrangement and not the actual results of
operations and financial position. The arrangement provides for the level of
expenses charged to the Closed Block, actual expenses related to the Closed
Block operations are charged outside of the Closed Block; therefore the
contribution or loss from the Closed Block does not represent the actual
operations of the Closed Block.

Summarized financial information of the Closed Block as of December 31, 1999 and
1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the period from October 1,
1998 to December 31, 1998, is as follows:

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
   POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ameritas Life
Insurance Corp. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company). These
consolidated financial statements exclude the effects of all material
intercompany transactions.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain items on the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to current year presentation.

The principal accounting and reporting practices followed are:

INVESTMENTS

The Company classifies its securities into categories based upon the Company's
intent relative to the eventual disposition of the securities. The first
category, held to maturity securities, includes fixed maturity securities which
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. These
securities are carried at amortized cost. The second category, available for
sale securities, may be sold to address the liquidity and other needs of the
Company. Securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value
on the balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses excluded from operations
and reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity included in
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related deferred acquisition
costs and income tax effects. The third category, trading securities, is for
debt and equity securities acquired for the purpose of selling them in the near
term. The Company has not classified any of its securities as trading
securities.

Equity securities (common stock and nonredeemable preferred stock) are valued at
fair value, and are classified as available for sale.

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at amortized cost less an allowance
for estimated uncollectible amounts. SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," which was amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures,"
requires that an impaired loan be measured at the present value of expected
future cash flows, or alternatively, the observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral. Total impaired loans as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the associated interest income were not material.

Investment real estate owned directly by the Company is carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation and allowances for estimated losses. Real estate
acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus
estimated costs to sell.

Other investments primarily include investments in venture capital partnerships
and real estate joint ventures accounted for using the cost or equity method
(depending upon percentage ownership), and

   POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
securities owned by the broker dealer subsidiary valued at fair value. Changes
in the fair value of the securities owned by the broker dealer are included in
investment income.

Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value.

Realized investment gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on
the specific identification method. Write-offs of investments that decline in
value below cost on other than a temporary basis and the change in the
allowances for mortgage loans and wholly owned real estate are included with
realized gains in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company records write-offs or allowances for its investments based upon an
evaluation of specific problem investments. The Company reviews, on a continual
basis, all invested assets to identify investments where the Company may have
credit concerns. Investments with credit concerns include those the Company has
identified as experiencing a deterioration in financial condition.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt securities purchased with a
remaining maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The
Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using straight-line
and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company operates separate accounts on which the earnings or losses accrue
exclusively to contractholders. The assets (principally investments) and
liabilities of each account are clearly identifiable and distinguishable from
other assets and liabilities of the Company. The separate accounts are an
investment alternative for pension, variable life, and variable annuity products
which the Company markets. Amounts are reported at fair value.

PREMIUM REVENUE AND BENEFITS TO POLICYOWNERS

RECOGNITION OF PARTICIPATING AND TERM LIFE, ACCIDENT AND HEALTH AND ANNUITY
PREMIUM REVENUE AND BENEFITS TO POLICYOWNERS
Participating life insurance products include those products with fixed and
guaranteed premiums and benefits on which dividends are paid by the Company.
Premiums on participating and term life products and certain annuities with life
contingencies (immediate annuities) are recognized as premium revenue when due.
Accident and health insurance premiums are recognized as premium revenue over
the time period to which the premiums relate. Benefits and expenses are
associated with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over
the premium-paying period of the contracts. This association is accomplished by
means of the provision for liabilities for future policy benefits and the
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

RECOGNITION OF UNIVERSAL LIFE-TYPE CONTRACTS REVENUE AND BENEFITS TO
POLICYOWNERS
Universal life-type policies are insurance contracts with terms that are not
fixed and guaranteed. The terms that may be changed could include one or more of
the amounts assessed the policyowner, premiums paid by the policyowner or
interest accrued to policyowners' balances. Amounts received as payments for
such contracts are reflected as deposits in accumulated contract values and are
not reported as premium revenues.

Revenues for universal life-type policies consist of charges assessed against
policy account values for deferred policy loading, mortality risk expense, the
cost of insurance and policy administration. Policy benefits and claims that are
charged to expense include interest credited to contracts and benefit claims
incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances.

Contracts that do not subject the Company to risks arising from policyowner
mortality or morbidity are referred to as investment contracts. Deposit
administration plans and certain deferred annuities are considered investment
contracts. Amounts received as payments for such contracts are reflected as
deposits in accumulated contract values and are not reported as premium
revenues.

Revenues for investment products consist of investment income and policy
administration charges. Contract benefits that are charged to expense include
benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related contract balances,
and interest credited to contract balances.

POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

Those costs of acquiring new business, which vary with and are directly related
to the production of new business, have been deferred to the extent that such
costs are deemed recoverable from future premiums. Such costs include
commissions, certain costs of policy issuance and underwriting, and certain
agency expenses.

Costs deferred related to term life insurance are amortized over the
premium-paying period of the related policies, in proportion to the ratio of
annual premium revenues to total anticipated premium revenues. Such anticipated
premium revenues are estimated using the same assumptions used for computing
liabilities for future policy benefits.

Costs deferred related to participating life, universal life-type policies and
investment-type contracts are amortized generally over the lives of the
policies, in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits from
mortality, investment and expense margins. The estimated gross profits are
reviewed periodically based on actual experience and changes in assumptions.

To the extent that unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities
would result in an adjustment of deferred policy acquisition costs had those
gains or losses actually been realized, the related unamortized deferred policy
acquisition costs are recorded as an adjustment of the unrealized investment
gains or losses included in stockholder's equity.

FUTURE POLICY AND CONTRACT BENEFITS

Liabilities for future policy benefits for participating and term life contracts
and additional coverages offered under policy riders are calculated using the
net level premium method and assumptions as to investment yields, mortality,
withdrawals and dividends. The assumptions are based on projections of past
experience and include provisions for possible unfavorable deviation. These
assumptions are made at the time the contract is issued. These liabilities are
shown as policy and contract reserves.

Liabilities for future policy and contract benefits on universal life-type and
investment-type contracts are based on the policy account balance, and are shown
as accumulated contract values.

The liabilities for future policy and contract benefits for group long-term
disability reserves are based upon interest rate assumptions and morbidity and
termination rates from published tables, modified for Company experience.

DIVIDENDS TO POLICYOWNERS

A portion of the Company's business has been issued on a participating basis.
The amount of policyowners' dividends to be paid is determined annually by the
Board of Directors.

INCOME TAXES

All companies included in these consolidated financial statements, with the
exception of AMAL and its subsidiaries, files a consolidated life/non-life tax
return. An agreement among the members of the consolidated group, generally,
provides for distribution of consolidated tax results as if filed on a separate
return basis. The provision for income taxes includes amounts currently payable
and deferred income taxes resulting from the cumulative differences in assets
and liabilities determined on a tax return and financial statement basis at the
current enacted tax rates.

Federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) through 1995. The IRS is currently examining the Company's 1996 through
1998 federal income tax returns. Management is currently appealing certain
adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years 1988 and 1990

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, entitled "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). The statement requires that
all derivatives (including certain derivatives embedded in contracts) be
recorded on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires
that changes in the fair value of derivatives be recognized currently in
operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If such criteria
are met, the derivative's gain or loss will offset related results of the hedged
item in the statement of operations. A company must formally document, designate
and assess the effectiveness of transactions to apply hedge accounting
treatment.

SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with
earlier implementation permitted. The statement must be implemented as of the
beginning of a quarter and retroactive application to financial statements of
prior periods is prohibited. The Company has not determined the financial
statement impact of adopting this statement.

</TABLE>

The "surplus tax," IRC Section 809, is an imputation of income to mutual life
insurance companies according to a formula based on a comparison of the returns
of equity of the mutual and stock segments of the life insurance industry. The
Company has an approximate $1.5 million capital loss carryforward available as
of December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999 the Company provided for a valuation
allowance against the net deferred tax asset related to the capital loss
carryforward.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In addition to Ameritas, AHC is also a 100% owner of Acacia Life Insurance
Company, an insurance company domiciled in Washington, D.C., which in turn is a
100% owner of Acacia National Life Insurance Company, an insurance company
domiciled in Virginia.

Ameritas and its affiliates provide technical, financial, legal, marketing and
investment advisory support to the Acacia companies under administrative service
agreements which were effective July 1, 1999. The cost of these services for the
year ended December 31, 1999 was $4,372.

On December 20, 1999, Ameritas purchased $25,000 of redeemable preferred stock
from Acacia Life Insurance Company. The stock, which pays dividends in an amount
per annum equal to 8% and is non-voting, provides for redemption in equal
installments beginning in 2005 with final redemption on or by January 1, 2015.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -- (CONTINUED)
Effective June 30, 1999, Ameritas' 66% indirectly owned subsidiary, Ameritas
Variable Life Insurance Company (AVLIC), agreed to 100% co-insure its equity
index annuity business to their 34% owner in a non-cash transaction. In December
1999 through assumption reinsurance the co-insured block was reduced
approximately 40%. The receivable of $35,921 from this affiliate which supports
the remaining co-insurance obligation is secured by a letter of credit.

During 1999, AVLIC formed a variable insurance trust (VIT). A 66% indirectly
owned subsidiary, Ameritas Investment Corp., serves as the investment advisor
and another affiliate provides administrative services to the VIT. At December
31, 1999 separate account assets under the VIT totaled $1,066,249.

5. EMPLOYEE AND AGENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit plan covering substantially
all employees. Plan benefits are based on years of credited service and the
employee's compensation during the last five years of employment. The Company's
funding policy is to make contributions each year at least equal to the minimum
funding requirements for tax-qualified retirement plans. Pension costs include
current service costs, which are accrued and funded on a current year basis, and
past service costs, which are amortized over the average remaining service life
of all employees on the adoption date. The assets of the plan are not
segregated.

The Company also provides certain health care benefits to retired employees.
These benefits are a specified percentage of premium until age 65 and a flat
dollar amount thereafter. Employees become eligible for these benefits upon the
attainment of age 55, 15 years of service and participation in the Company
medical plan for the immediately preceding five years.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the plans'
benefit obligations and fair value of assets over the two-year period ended
December 31, 1999, and a statement of the funded status as of December 31 of
both years:

plans that cover substantially all full-time employees and agents. Company
contributions were $959 in 1999, $852 in 1998 and $868 in 1997.

6. INSURANCE REGULATORY MATTERS

STATUTORY SURPLUS AND NET INCOME

Net income of Ameritas and its insurance subsidiaries, as determined in
accordance with statutory accounting practices, was $51,200, $41,000, and
$47,200 for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively and statutory surplus was
$413,200, $357,700, and $311,300 at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Insurance companies are required to maintain a certain level of
surplus to be in compliance with state laws and regulations. Surplus is
monitored by state regulators to ensure compliance with risk based capital
requirements.

Under statutes of the Insurance Department of the State of Nebraska, the amount
of dividends payable to stockholders are limited.

7. REINSURANCE

In the ordinary course of business, the Company assumes and cedes reinsurance
with other insurers and reinsurers. These arrangements provide greater
diversification of business and limit the maximum net loss potential on large
risks. The effect of reinsurance on premiums earned is as follows:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

INVESTMENTS

Securities commitments of $24,802 and $30,545, and mortgage loan and real estate
commitments of $9,897 and $8,284 were outstanding for investments to be
purchased in subsequent years as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
These commitments have been made in the normal course of investment operations
and are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's
exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual notional amount of
those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies and collateral
requirements in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments.

LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a $25,000 unsecured line of credit available at December 31,
1999. No balance was outstanding at any time during 1999 or 1998.

STATE LIFE AND HEALTH GUARANTY FUNDS

As a condition of doing business, all states and jurisdictions have adopted laws
requiring membership in life and health insurance guaranty funds. Member
companies are subject to assessments each year based on life, health or annuity
premiums collected in the state. In some states these assessments may be applied
against premium taxes. The Company has estimated its costs related to past
insolvencies and has provided a reserve included in other liabilities of $3,000
and $2,650 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

LITIGATION

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries is subject to litigation in
the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the Company is
party to any such pending litigation which would have a material adverse effect
on its financial statements or future operations.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following disclosures are made regarding fair value information about
certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those
techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the
discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived
fair value estimates, in many cases, could not be realized on immediate
settlement of the instrument. All nonfinancial instruments are excluded from
disclosure requirements.

Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information
available to management as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. Although management is
not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair
value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes
of these financial statements since that date; therefore, current estimates of
fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for each class of financial instrument for which it is
practicable to estimate a value:

          FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES -- For publicly traded securities, fair
     value is determined using an independent pricing source. For securities
     without a readily ascertainable fair value, the value has been determined
     using an interest rate spread matrix based upon quality, weighted average
     maturity and Treasury yields.

          EQUITY SECURITIES -- For publicly traded securities, fair value is
     determined using prices from an independent pricing source.

          LOANS ON INSURANCE POLICIES -- Fair value for loans on insurance
     policies is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis at interest
     rates currently offered for similar loans. Loans on insurance policies with
     similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

          MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE -- Mortgage loans in good standing are
     valued on the basis of discounted cash flow. The interest rate that is
     assumed is based upon the weighted average term of the mortgage and
     appropriate spread over Treasuries.

          OTHER INVESTMENTS -- Fair value for venture capital partnerships is
     estimated based on values as last reported by the partnership and
     discounted for their lack of marketability. Real estate partnerships are
     carried on the cost or equity method and are excluded from the fair value
     disclosure.

          SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The carrying amount approximates fair value
     because of the short maturity of these instruments.

          CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK-AFFILIATE, AND
     REINSURANCE RECEIVABLE-AFFILIATE -- The carrying amounts equal fair value.

          ACCRUED INVESTMENT INCOME -- Fair value equals book value.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
          ACCUMULATED CONTRACT VALUES -- Funds on deposit with a fixed maturity
     are valued at discounted present value using market interest rates. Funds
     on deposit which do not have fixed maturities are carried at the amount
     payable on demand at the reporting date, which approximates fair value.

          COMMITMENTS -- The estimated fair value of commitments approximates
     carrying value because the fees currently charged for these arrangements
     and the underlying interest rates approximate market.

Estimated fair values are as follows:

APPENDIX A

ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS AND ACCUMULATION VALUES
The following tables illustrate how the Net Cash Surrender Values and Death
Benefits of a Policy may change with the investment experience of the Fund. The
tables show how the Net Cash Surrender Values and Death Benefits of a Policy
issued to an Insured of a given age and specified underwriting risk
classification who pays the given premium at issue would vary over time if the
investment return on the assets held in each portfolio of the Funds were a
uniform, gross, after-tax annual rate of 0%, 6%, or 12%. The tables on pages A-3
through A-6 illustrate a Policy issued to a male, age 45, under a Preferred rate
non-smoker underwriting risk classification. This policy provides for a standard
smoker and non-smoker, and preferred non-smoker classification and different
rates for certain Specified Amounts. The Net Cash Surrender Values and Death
Benefits would be different from those shown if the gross annual investment
rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period of years, but fluctuated
above and below those averages for individual Policy Years, or if the Insured
were assigned to a different underwriting risk classification.

The second column of the tables shows the accumulated value of the premiums paid
at 5%. The following columns show the Net Cash Surrender Values and the Death
Benefits for uniform hypothetical rates of return shown in these tables. The
tables on pages A-3 and A-5 are based on the current Cost of Insurance Rates,
current expense deductions and the current percent of premium loads. These
reflect the basis on which Ameritas currently sells its Policies. The maximum
Cost of Insurance Rates allowable under the Policy are based upon the 1980
Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker, Male and Female
Mortality Tables. Ameritas anticipates reflecting future improvements in actual
mortality experience through adjustments in the current Cost of Insurance Rates
actually applied. Ameritas also anticipates reflecting any future improvements
in expenses incurred by applying lower percent of premiums of loads and other
expense deductions. The Death Benefits and cash values shown in the tables on
pages A-4 and A-6 are based on the assumption that the maximum allowable Cost of
Insurance Rates as described above ("guaranteed cost") and maximum allowable
expense deductions are made throughout the life of the Policy.

The amounts shown for the Net Cash Surrender Values and Death Benefits reflect
the fact that the net investment return of the Subaccounts is lower than the
gross, after-tax return of the assets held in the Funds as a result of expenses
paid by the Fund and charges levied against the Subaccounts. The values shown
take into account an average of the daily expenses paid by each portfolio
available for investment (the equivalent to an annual rate of 1.05% of the
aggregate average daily net assets of the Fund), and the daily charge by
Ameritas to each Subaccount for assuming mortality and expense risks (which is
equivalent to a charge at an annual rate of 0.60% for Policy Years 1-15 and .30%
thereafter on pages A-3 and A-5 and at an annual rate of .60% for all years on
pages A-4 and A-6 of the average net assets of the Subaccounts). NBMI has agreed
to reimburse each Neuberger Berman Portfolio for its operating expenses and its
pro rata share of its corresponding series' operating expenses, excluding the
compensation of NBMI, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, brokerage
commissions, and transaction costs that exceed 1% of the portfolio's average
daily net asset value. Bankers Trust Company, as investment adviser to the
Bankers Trust Funds, has entered into agreements to waive and/or reimburse
operating expenses, including its fees, that exceed .30% of the Equity 500
Index, .45% of the Small Cap Index, and .65% of the EAFE(R) Index aggregate
average daily net asset values. These agreements are expected to continue in
future years but may be terminated at any time. The illustrated gross annual
investment rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% were computed after deducting
these amounts and correspond to approximate net annual rates of -1.65%, 4.35%,
and 10.35%, respectively.

The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any additional
charges for federal income tax burden attributable to Separate Account LLVL,
since Ameritas is not currently making such charges. However, such charges may
be made in the future and, in that event, the gross annual investment rate of
return would have to exceed 0 percent, 6 percent, or 12 percent by an amount
sufficient to cover the tax charges in order to produce the Death Benefits and
values illustrated. (See the section on Federal Tax Matters.)

The tables illustrate the Policy values that would result based upon the
hypothetical investment rates of return if premiums are paid as indicated, if
all net premiums are allocated to Separate Account LLVL, and if no Policy loans
have been made. The tables are also based on the assumptions that the Policy
Owner has not requested an increase or decrease in the initial Specified Amount,
that no Partial Withdrawals have been made, and that no more than fifteen
transfers have been made in any Policy Year so that no transfer charges have
been incurred. Illustrated values would be different if the proposed Insured
were female, a smoker, in substandard risk classification, or were another age,
or if a higher or lower premium was illustrated.

Upon request, Ameritas will provide comparable illustrations based upon the
proposed Insured's age, sex and underwriting classification, the Specified
Amount, the Death Benefit option, and Planned Periodic Premium schedule
requested, and any available riders requested. These illustrations may be
provided to you in printed form by your registered representative. ALIC may also
make these illustrations available to you by electronic means, such as through
our website. In addition, upon client request, illustrations may be furnished
reflecting allocation of premiums to specified Subaccounts. Such illustrations
will reflect the expenses of the portfolio in which the Subaccount invests.
