The London Pacific Immediate Variable Annuity Contracts
This prospectus describes two Individual Single Contribution Immediate Variable
Annuity Contracts - one is a guaranteed version (Guaranteed Contract) and the
other is a non-guaranteed version (Non-Guaranteed Contract) (collectively, the
Contracts). The Contracts are offered by London Pacific Life & Annuity Company
(London Pacific). The Contracts provide for income to the Payee under a payment
plan you select.
For Guaranteed Contracts, your Contribution will initially be allocated to
London Pacific's Fixed Account. Thirty days after we issue your Contract, your
Contribution, with interest, will be allocated to the BT Equity 500 Index Fund
of BT Insurance Funds Trust. The BT Equity 500 Index Fund is the only available
Investment Option for the Guaranteed Contract.
The Non-Guaranteed Contract has eleven Investment Options which are listed below
under Investment Options.
Under the Contract, you are the Owner. You can name a Joint Owner. You must name
a Payee and an Annuitant. You can also name a Joint Annuitant. The Annuity Date
will be 30th day after the Issue Date of your Contract.
Annuity Payments
You can receive Annuity Payments from your Contract by selecting one of the
available Annuity Options. The dollar amount of your Annuity Payments may go up
or down depending on the investment performance of the Investment Option(s).
You can protect your investment by purchasing a Guaranteed Contract. If you buy
the Guaranteed Contract, the amount of your Annuity Payments are guaranteed to
be at least equal to 100% of the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment shown in
your Contract.
How to Purchase the Contract
The Contract requires a single Contribution of at least $20,000. You cannot add
to your Contract. Your registered representative can help you fill out the
proper forms.
Investment Options
You can invest in the following Investment Options if you own a Non-Guaranteed
Contract:
LPT Variable Insurance Series Trust:
Harris Associates Value Portfolio
MFS Total Return Portfolio
Berkeley U.S. Quality Bond Portfolio
Berkeley Money Market Portfolio
Robertson Stephens Diversified Growth Portfolio
Lexington Corporate Leaders Portfolio(R)
Strong Growth Portfolio
Morgan Stanley Universal Funds, Inc.:
Morgan Stanley U.F. High Yield Portfolio
Morgan Stanley U.F. International Magnum Portfolio
Morgan Stanley U.F. Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio
BT Insurance Funds Trust:
BT Equity 500 Index Fund
If you own a Guaranteed Contract, you can only invest in the BT Equity 500 Index
Fund of BT Insurance Funds Trust during the Annuity Period.
Depending on market conditions, you can make or lose money in any of these
Investment Options.
Expenses
The Contracts have insurance features and investment features and there are
costs related to each.
London Pacific deducts for its insurance charges which total 1.25% annually of
the value of your Contract allocated to Investment Options (Separate Account
Charge).
If you own a Non-Guaranteed Contract, you can make 12 free transfers each year.
After that, we charge a $20 transfer fee for each transfer.
For the Guaranteed Contract, London Pacific deducts a Guaranteed Minimum Annuity
Payment Charge which may range from 1.75% to 2.10% annually of your Contract
allocated to the Investment Option. The Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment
Charge is set forth in your Contract. The charge will lock in at the time you
purchase the Contract and will not change for the life of your Contract.
If you make a surrender, it will be subject to a commutation fee. The
commutation fee is equal to the difference between the remaining guaranteed
Annuity Payments discounted at the AIR and the remaining guaranteed Annuity
Payments discounted at a rate equal to the sum of the AIR plus 1.00%.
There are also investment charges which range from .30% to 1.75% of the average
daily value of the Investment Option, depending upon the Investment Option.
Taxes
Annuity Payments will be treated for federal income tax purposes as partly a
return of your original investment. That part of each payment is not taxable as
income. If you own a Qualified Contract, the entire payment may be taxable.
Surrenders
You cannot make any surrenders from a Guaranteed Contract.
For Non-Guaranteed Contracts, you may make a total surrender after the Annuity
Date if you have chosen Annuity Option 3 (Payment for a Period Certain). No
partial surrenders are permitted.
Death Benefit
If you, the Joint Owner (if any), the Annuitant or the Joint Annuitant (if any)
dies, a death benefit may be paid to the Beneficiary.
Exchange Program
London Pacific offers an exchange program (the Exchange Program) which is
available only to purchasers who exchange a contract issued by another insurance
company not affiliated with London Pacific or other financial investment for a
Contract offered by this Prospectus. The Exchange Program is not available to
purchasers who own another immediate variable annuity contract and want to
exchange it for the Contracts described in this prospectus. Under the Exchange
Program, London Pacific adds certain amounts to the Contract as exchange credits
(Exchange Credits). Subject to specific limits, the Exchange Credits equal the
surrender charge paid, if any, to the other insurance company or the charges and
penalties paid to a financial institution.
Free-Look
Guaranteed Contract: If you cancel the Contract within 10 days after receiving
it (or the period required in your state), we will refund your Contribution.
Non-Guaranteed Contract: If you cancel the Contract within 10 days after
receiving it (or the period required in your state), we will send your money
back. You will receive whatever your Contract is worth on the day we receive
your request. This may be more or less than your Contribution. If we are
required by law to return your Contribution, we reserve the right to put your
money in the Berkeley Money Market Portfolio during the free-look period.

EXAMPLES
The examples assume a $1,000 investment with payments based on an annuity with a
25 year period certain Annuity Option and a 3% AIR. If you choose a period
certain of more than 25 years, your expenses would be higher than those shown.
Likewise, if you choose a period certain of less than 25 years (Non-Guaranteed
Contracts only), your expenses would be lower than those shown below. If you own
a Non-Guaranteed Contract and choose a 5% or 7% AIR (instead of the 3% AIR used
in the examples below), your expenses would be less than those shown. The
examples below for the Guaranteed Contract assume the deduction of the maximum
Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment Charge. Your expenses will be less than those
shown below if the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment Charge for your Contract
is less than the maximum amount.

THE LONDON PACIFIC IMMEDIATE VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT
This prospectus describes two Individual Single Contribution Immediate Variable
Annuity Contracts issued by London Pacific - one is the Guaranteed Contract and
the other is the Non-Guaranteed Contract. Together, they are referred to as the
Contracts.
An annuity is a contract between you (the Owner) and us (an insurance company)
where we promise to pay you an income, in the form of Annuity Payments.
Depending on market conditions, your Annuity Payments may go up or down and you
may make or lose money, based on the investment performance of the Investment
Option(s) you choose. For the Non-Guaranteed Contract, no minimum Annuity
Payment is guaranteed. For the Guaranteed Contract, there is a Guaranteed
Minimum Annuity Payment.
Ownership
Owner - Under the Contracts you are the Owner. You may name an Annuitant and a
Joint Annuitant. You may change Owners of the Contract at any time prior to the
Annuity Date by Written Request. A change of Owner will automatically revoke any
prior designation. The change will become effective as of the date the Written
Request is signed. A new designation of Owner will not apply to any payment made
or action taken by us prior to the time it was received. Any change in Owner is
subject to our underwriting rules then in effect.
The Contract may be owned by Joint Owners. The Owners must jointly exercise all
rights of the Contract except for transfers (for Non-Guaranteed Contracts),
which can be exercised individually.
Annuitant - The Annuitant and Joint Annuitant is the person or persons on whose
life Annuity Payments are based. You designate the Annuitant and Joint
Annuitant, if any, at the Issue Date.
Beneficiary - The Beneficiary is the person(s) or entity you name to receive any
death benefit. The Beneficiary is named at the time the Contract is issued
unless changed at a later late. Unless an irrevocable Beneficiary has been
named, the Owner and the Joint Owner, if any, may change the Primary
Beneficiary(ies) or Contingent Beneficiary(ies). A change may be made by Written
Request. The change will take effect as of the date the Written Request is
signed. London Pacific will not be liable for any payment made or action it
takes before the change is recorded.
Assignment
You can assign the Contract at any time during your lifetime. You must send a
Written Request to our Annuity Service Center specifying the terms of the
assignment. London Pacific will not be liable for any payment or other action we
take in accordance with the Contract until we receive notice of the assignment.
Any assignment made after the death benefit has become payable will only be
valid with our consent. AN ASSIGNMENT MAY BE A TAXABLE EVENT.
If the Contract is issued pursuant to a Qualified plan, there may be limitations
on your ability to assign the Contract.
Modification of the Contracts
The Contracts may be modified in order to comply with applicable state and
federal law.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE ANNUITY PERIOD)
You can receive regular Annuity Payments from your Contract. The Payee will
receive the Annuity Payments. The day on which those payments begin is called
the Annuity Date. The Annuity Date will be 30th day after the Issue Date of your
Contract. You can choose among income plans. We call them Annuity Options. We
ask you to choose an Annuity Option when you buy the Contract.
During the Annuity Period, payments will come from the Investment Options you
have selected (meaning they are variable annuity payments). We do not currently
offer any fixed income options. Annuity Payments can be made monthly or
annually. Once selected, the frequency of the payments cannot be changed. If you
own a Non-Guaranteed Contract and if the Annuity Payment would be or become
less than $100, we will reduce the frequency of the Annuity Payments to an
interval which will result in each payment being at least $100.
The first Annuity Payment will be calculated on the Annuity Calculation Date
which will be no more than 5 days before the Annuity Date. Annuity Payments will
reflect the investment performance of the Investment Options during the Annuity
Period. On the Annuity Calculation Date, a fixed number of Annuity Units will be
purchased.
The dollar amount of your subsequent payments will depend on 3 things:
(1) the value of your Contract in the Investment Option on the Annuity Date;
(2) the Assumed Investment Return (AIR) used in the Contract; and
(3) the performance of the Investment Option(s).
For Guaranteed Contracts, the AIR is 3%. For Non-Guaranteed Contracts, you can
choose a 3%, 5% or 7% AIR. We ask you to choose an AIR at the time you buy the
Contract. Once selected, you may not change the AIR. Choosing a higher AIR will
result in a higher initial amount of income (Annuity Payment), but income will
increase more slowly during periods of good investment performance of the
Investment Options and decrease more rapidly during periods of poor investment
performance. The SAI contains a more detailed description of how Annuity
Payments and Annuity Unit values are calculated.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ANNUITY PAYMENT - GUARANTEED CONTRACT ONLY: You can choose to
protect your investment by purchasing a Guaranteed Contract. If you purchase a
Guaranteed Contract, London Pacific guarantees that your Annuity Payment will be
at least equal to 100% of the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment shown in your
Contract. Each Annuity Payment will vary upwards or downwards based on the
performance of the Investment Option, unless the Annuity Payment would be less
than the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment. Under the terms of the Contract's
guarantee, London Pacific will pay the Payee the greater of: (a) the Annuity
Payment amount determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units times the
Annuity Unit value; or (b) the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment.
If you own either the Guaranteed or the Non-Guaranteed Contract, you can choose
one of the following Annuity Options. After Annuity Payments begin, you cannot
change the Annuity Option.
OPTION 1. LIFE ANNUITY. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments at a
frequency that you choose so long as the Annuitant is alive. After the Annuitant
dies, we stop making Annuity Payments.
OPTION 2. LIFE ANNUITY WITH PERIOD CERTAIN. Under this option, we will make
Annuity Payments at a frequency you choose so long as the Annuitant is alive.
For a Non-Guaranteed Contract, if, when the Annuitant dies, we have made Annuity
Payments for less than the number of years selected (period certain), the
Beneficiary has the option of receiving the remaining Annuity Payments for the
rest of the period certain or taking the death benefit in a single lump sum. The
lump sum payment will be equal to the present value of the remaining guaranteed
Annuity Payments discounted at a rate equal to the sum of the AIR plus 1.00%
using the Annuity Unit values as of the date London Pacific receives written
notification of Due Proof of Death. For a Guaranteed Contract, if, when the
Annuitant dies, we have made Annuity Payments for less than the period certain,
the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments will continue to the Beneficiary for
the remainder of the period certain.
OPTION 3. PAYMENT FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN. Under this option, we will make Annuity
Payments at a frequency you choose for a fixed period of years. For a Guaranteed
Contract, the minimum period is 25 years. For the Non-Guaranteed Contract, if,
at the death of the Annuitant, Annuity Payments have been made for less than the
fixed period of years, the Beneficiary will have the option of receiving the
remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments for the rest of the period or taking the
death benefit in a single lump sum. The lump sum payment will be equal to the
present value of the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments discounted at a rate
equal to the sum of the AIR plus 1.00% using the Annuity Unit values as of the
date London Pacific receives written notification of Due Proof of Death. For the
Guaranteed Contract, if, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been made
for less than the fixed period of years, the remaining payments will continue to
the Beneficiary for the remainder of the period.
OPTION 4. JOINT & SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY. Under this option, we will make Annuity
Payments at a frequency you choose so long as the Annuitant and the Joint
Annuitant are alive. After the first Annuitant dies and during the lifetime of
the surviving Annuitant, we will continue making Annuity Payments. After the
surviving Annuitant dies, we will stop making Annuity Payments.
HOW TO PURCHASE THE CONTRACTS
Contribution
The Contribution is the money you give us to buy the Contract. The Contracts
require the payment of a single Contribution of at least $20,000. You cannot
make additional Contributions to your Contract.
Allocation of Contribution
When you purchase a Non-Guaranteed Contract, we will allocate your Contribution
to the Investment Options you have selected. We have reserved the right, under
certain circumstances, to allocate the Contribution to the Berkeley Money Market
Portfolio until the end of the free-look period.
When you purchase a Guaranteed Contract, we will allocate your Contribution to
the Fixed Account. Your Contribution will earn interest in the Fixed Account.
The Contribution, with interest earned in the Fixed Account, will be allocated
to the BT Equity 500 Index Fund 30 days after the Issue Date of your Contract.
Once we receive your Contribution and the necessary information and they are
deemed to be in good order, we will issue you a Contract. We will allocate your
Contribution within 2 business days. If the information is not in good order, we
will contact you to get the necessary information. If for some reason we are
unable to complete this process within 5 business days, we will either sent back
your money or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the necessary
information.
Free-Look
Guaranteed Contract: If you change your mind about owning the Contract, you can
cancel it within 10 days after receiving it (or the period required in your
state), and we will refund your Contribution.
Non-Guaranteed Contract: If you change your mind about owning the Contract, you
can cancel it within 10 days after receiving it (or the period required in your
state), and we will send your money back. You will receive whatever your
Contract is worth on the day we receive your request. This may be more or less
than your Contribution. If you have purchased the Contract as an individual
retirement annuity or in certain states, we are required to return your
Contribution. If that is the case, we reserve the right to put your money in the
Berkeley Money Market Portfolio for 15 days after we allocate your Contribution
(or whatever period is required in your state).
Accumulation Units - Non-Guaranteed Contract Only
The value of a Contract will go up or down depending upon the investment
performance of the Investment Option(s) you choose. In order to keep track of
the value of your Contract, we use a unit of measure we call an Accumulation
Unit. During the Annuity Period, we call it an Annuity Unit.
Every Business Day we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for each
Investment Option. We do this by:
1. determining the total amount of money invested in the particular
Investment Option;
2. subtracting from that amount the Separate Account Charge; and
3. dividing this amount by the number of outstanding Accumulation Units.
The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up or down from day to day.
When you make your Contribution to a Non-Guaranteed Contract, London Pacific
will credit your Contract with Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation
Units credited is determined by dividing the amount of the Contribution
allocated to an Investment Option by the value of the Accumulation Unit for that
Investment Option.
London Pacific calculates that value of an Accumulation Unit for each Investment
Option after the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closes each day and then credits
your Contract. There may be days when the NYSE is open for business and we are
closed. The day after Thanksgiving is the only such date. On such date, you will
not have access to your account and therefore no transactions will be processed
for the Separate Account.
When you make your Contribution to a Guaranteed Contract, we will credit your
Contract with interest in our Fixed Account up to the Annuity Date.
Transfers - Non-Guaranteed Contract Only:
If you own a Non-Guaranteed Contract, you can make transfers, by Written
Request, between Investment Options before the Annuity Calculation Date and
after the Annuity Date. During the Annuity Period, after a transfer, your next
Annuity Payment will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity Units.
The minimum amount which you can transfer is $500 from one or more Investment
Options or your entire interest in the Investment Option, if less. The minimum
amount which must remain in an Investment Option after a transfer is $500 for
each Investment Option or $0 if the entire interest in the Investment Option is
transferred.
If you make more than 12 transfers each year, a $20 transfer fee will be
assessed for each transfer after the first free 12.
Telephone transfers can be made pursuant to Written Request. London Pacific will
use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions given us by telephone are
genuine. If we fail to use such procedures, we may be liable for losses due to
fraudulent or unauthorized instructions. London Pacific tape records all
telephone instructions.
London Pacific reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice to any
party, to terminate, suspend or modify the transfer privilege described above.
The Contracts are not designed for professional market timing organizations.
Repeated patterns of frequent transfers are disruptive to the operations of the
Investment Options. When London Pacific becomes aware of such disruptive
transactions, we may modify the transfer provisions of the Contract.
IF YOU OWN A GUARANTEED CONTRACT, YOU MAY NOT MAKE TRANSFERS.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
For Non-Guaranteed Contracts, the following eleven Investment Options are
available. Additional Investment Options may be available in the future.
YOU SHOULD READ THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THESE FUNDS CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.

you.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program - Non-Guaranteed Contract Only
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program is a program, which if elected, permits you to
systematically transfer amounts monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually
from the Berkeley Money Market Portfolio or the Berkeley U.S. Quality Bond
Portfolio to one or more of the other Investment Options. To participate in the
program, the value of your Contract must be at least $20,000. By allocating
amounts on a regular schedule as opposed to allocating the total amount at one
particular time, you may be less susceptible to the impact of market
fluctuations.
You must participate in Dollar Cost Averaging for at least 12 months. There is
no current charge for Dollar Cost Averaging. However, we reserve the right to
charge for it in the future. Transfers under this program will take place on the
date you request to participate in the program and anniversaries of that date.
Transfers made pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging Program are not taken into
account in determining the transfer fee.
We reserve the right at any time and without prior notice to any party, to
terminate, suspend or modify the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.
Rebalancing Program - Non-Guaranteed Contract Only
You may use an asset allocation model know as the Asset Equalizer to help you
establish your initial investment allocations. If you do, you may rebalance your
investments monthly to maintain the allocation in the Asset Equalizer model.
Rebalancing provides for periodic automatic transfers among the Investment
Options.
Transfers made pursuant to the Rebalancing Program are not taken into account in
determining the transfer fee.
Voting Rights
London Pacific is the legal owner of the Investment Option shares. However,
London Pacific believes that when an Investment Option solicits proxies in
conjunction with a vote of shareholders, it is required to obtain from you and
other owners instructions as to how to vote those shares. When we receive those
instructions, we will vote all of the shares we own in proportion to those
instructions. This will also include any shares that London Pacific owns on its
own behalf. Should London Pacific determine that it is no longer required to
comply with the above, we will vote the shares in our own right.
Substitution
London Pacific may be required to substitute one of the Investment Options you
have selected with another portfolio. We would not do this without the prior
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will give you notice of
our intention to do this.
Exchange Program
London Pacific currently offers an exchange program (Exchange Program) which is
available only to purchasers who exchange a contract issued by another insurance
company not affiliated with London Pacific or other financial institution
(Exchange Investment) for a Contract offered by this prospectus. The Exchange
Program is not available to purchasers who own another immediate variable
annuity contract and want to exchange it for the Contracts described in this
prospectus. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Exchange
Program at any time or from time to time without notice. If the Exchange Program
is in effect, it will apply to all exchanges which qualify for the program for a
Contract offered by this prospectus. The Exchange Program is available only
where permitted by law.
A currently owned variable deferred annuity contract or life insurance policy
may be exchanged for a Contract pursuant to Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code), or where applicable, may qualify for a "rollover" or transfer to a
Contract pursuant to other sections of the Code.
You should carefully evaluate whether the Exchange Program offers benefits which
are more favorable than if you continued to hold your Exchange Investment.
Factors to consider include, but are not limited to: (a) the amount, if any, of
surrender charges or other charges and penalties incurred in surrendering a
contract which can be obtained from the insurance company or financial
institution which issued the contract or instrument; (b) the time remaining
under your Exchange Investment during which surrender charges or other charges
and penalties apply; (c) the on-going charges, if any, under the Exchange
Investment versus the on-going charges under the Contracts described in this
prospectus; (d) the amount and timing of any benefits under the Exchange
Program; and (e) the potentially greater cost to you if the charges under a
Contract or the surrender charge or charges and penalties on the Exchange
Investment exceeds the benefits under the Exchange Program. While we know of no
adverse federal income tax consequences, you should consult with your own tax
adviser regarding the tax consequences of an exchange.
Under the currently available Exchange Program, London Pacific adds certain
amounts to the Contract as exchange credits (Exchange Credits). The Exchange
Credits are credited by London Pacific on behalf of Owners of an Exchange
Investment from our general account. Subject to a specified limit (Exchange
Credit Limit) discussed below, Exchange Credits equal the surrender charge paid,
if any, to the other insurance company or the charges and penalties paid to the
other financial institution. The Exchange Program is subject to the following
rules:
1. London Pacific does not add Exchange Credits unless we receive in
writing, not later than 30 days after the issue of the Contract,
evidence satisfactory to us:
a. of the surrender charge or other charges and penalties, if any,
paid by you to surrender the Exchange Investment and the amount
of any such charge; and
b. you acknowledge that you are aware that the commutation fee under
the Contract will be assessed in full against a subsequent
surrender to the extent applicable.
2. London Pacific allocates the Exchange Credits to the Contract 25 days
after a Contract is issued (and for Non-Guaranteed Contracts, 35 days
after a Contract is issued in California if the purchaser is 60 years
of age or older). In no event will Exchange Credits be added after the
Annuity Date. The Exchange Credits will be allocated prorata among the
Investment Options based on the ratio of the values in the Investment
Option.
3. The value of the Exchange Credits as of the date of the allocation to
the Investment Option equals the lesser of the Exchange Credit Limit
or the surrender charge paid or other charges and penalties to
surrender the Exchange Investment. The Exchange Credit Limit currently
is 5% of the net amount payable upon surrender of the Exchange
Investment. We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to
increase or decrease the Exchange Credit Limit. However, the Exchange
Credit Limit in effect at any time will apply to all purchases
qualifying for the Exchange Program.
4. London Pacific does not consider additional amounts credited to your
Contract under the Exchange Program to be an increase in your
investment in the Contract.
PERFORMANCE
London Pacific may advertise performance of the various Investment Options.
Performance information of an Investment Option is based on the Separate
Account's past performance only and is no indication of future performance.
London Pacific will calculate performance by determining the percentage change
in an Investment Option by dividing the increase (decrease) for the Option by
the value of the Investment Option at the beginning of the period. The
performance number will reflect the expenses of the Investment Option and the
deduction of the Separate Account Charge, and with respect to the Guaranteed
Contract, the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment Charge.
EXPENSES
There are charges and other expenses associated with the Contracts that reduce
the return on your investment in the Contracts. These charges and expenses are:
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGE
This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily value of the
Contracts invested in an Investment Option, after fund expenses have been
deducted. This charge compensates London Pacific for assuming the mortality and
expense risks under the Contracts and the costs associated with the
administration of the Contracts and the Separate Account.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ANNUITY PAYMENT CHARGE (GUARANTEED CONTRACT ONLY)
This charge ranges from 1.75% to 2.10% of the daily value of the Guaranteed
Contract invested in the Investment Option, after fund expenses have been
deducted. The charge will be set quarterly and will lock in at the time you
purchase the Contract for the life of the Contract. The amount of the Guaranteed
Minimum Annuity Payment charge is set forth in your Contract. The charge varies
due to stock market volatility which affects the cost London Pacific incurs for
reinsuring the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment. This charge compensates
London Pacific for the costs associated with providing the Guaranteed Minimum
Annuity Payment.
COMMUTATION FEE (NON-GUARANTEED CONTRACT ONLY)
If you surrender your Contract under Annuity Option 3 or if the Beneficiary
elects to receive a lump sum payment under Annuity Options 2 or 3 after the
Annuitant dies, the amount received will be reduced by a minus b, where:
a = the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments discounted at the AIR; and
b = the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments discounted at a rate equal to
the sum of the AIR plus 1.00%.
TRANSFER FEE (NON-GUARANTEED CONTRACT ONLY)
You can make 12 free transfers every year. We measure a year from the day we
issue your Contract. If you make more than 12 transfers a year, we will deduct a
transfer fee of $20 for each transfer thereafter.
The transfer fee will be deducted from the Investment Option from which the
transfer is made. If your entire interest in the Investment Option is being
transferred, the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount which is
transferred. If the transfer is made from more than one Investment Option, the
transfer fee will be deducted pro-rata from each Investment Option from which a
transfer is made.
Any transfers made pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging or Rebalancing Programs
will not count in determining the transfer fee.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge
premium taxes or similar taxes. London Pacific is responsible for the payment of
these taxes and will make a deduction from the value of the Contracts for them.
Some of these taxes are due when the Contract is issued, other are due when
Annuity Payments begin. It is London Pacific's current practice to deduct for
any premium taxes from the Contribution when it is made. Premium taxes generally
range from 0% to 4%, depending on the state.
INCOME TAXES
London Pacific will deduct from the Contracts for any income taxes which it
incurs because of the Contracts. At the present time, we are not making any such
deductions.
INVESTMENT OPTION EXPENSES
There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the various
Investment Options, which are described in the attached fund prospectuses.
TAXES
NOTE: LONDON PACIFIC HAS PREPARED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON TAXES AS A
GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT. IT IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE TO ANY
INDIVIDUAL. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISER ABOUT YOUR OWN
CIRCUMSTANCES. LONDON PACIFIC HAS INCLUDED IN THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION AN ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION REGARDING TAXES.
ANNUITY CONTRACTS IN GENERAL
Annuity contracts are a means of setting aside money for future needs and for
providing a series of periodic payments for life or a fixed number of years.
Congress recognized how important saving for retirement was and provided special
rules in the Internal Revenue Code (Code) for annuities.
Simply stated these rules provide that you will not be taxed on the earnings on
the money held in your annuity contract until you take the money out. This is
referred to as tax-deferral. There are different rules as to how you will be
taxed depending on how you take the money out and the type of
Contract--Qualified or Non-Qualified (see following sections).
You, as the Owner, will not be taxed on increases in the value of your Contract
until a distribution occurs--either as a surrender or as Annuity Payments. When
you make a surrender you are taxed on the amount of the surrender that is
earnings. For Annuity Payments, different rules apply. A portion of each Annuity
Payment is treated as a partial return of your Contribution and will not be
taxed. The remaining portion of the Annuity Payment will be treated as ordinary
income. How the Annuity Payment is divided between taxable and non-taxable
portions depends upon the period over which the Annuity Payments are expected to
be made. Annuity Payments received after you have received all of your
Contribution are fully includible in income.
QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
If you purchase the Contract as an individual and not under any pension plan,
specially sponsored program or an individual retirement annuity, your Contract
is referred to as a Non-Qualified Contract.
If you purchase the Contract under a pension plan, specially sponsored program,
or an individual retirement annuity, your Contract is referred to as a qualified
contract. Examples of qualified plans are: Individual Retirement Annuities
(IRAs) and pension and profit-sharing plans, which include 401(k) plans.
SURRENDERS--NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
If you surrender your Contract, the earnings portion of the Contract are
includible in income. The Code also provides that any amount received under an
annuity contract which is included in income may be subject to a penalty. The
amount of the penalty is equal to 10% of the amount that is includible in
income. Some distributions will be exempt from the penalty. They include any
amounts: (1) paid on or after you reach age 59 1/2; (2) paid after you die; (3)
paid if you become totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4)
paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more
frequently) under a lifetime annuity; (5) paid as annuity payments under an
immediate annuity; or (6) which come from purchase payments made prior to August
14, 1982.
SURRENDERS--QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
The above information describing the taxation of non-qualified contracts does
not apply to Qualified Contracts. There are special rules that govern with
respect to Qualified Contracts. We have provided a more complete discussion in
the Statement of Additional Information.
DIVERSIFICATION
The Code provides that the underlying investments for a variable annuity must
satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an
annuity contract. London Pacific believes that the Investment Options are being
managed so as to comply with the requirements. Neither the Code nor the Internal
Revenue Service Regulations issued to date provide guidance as to the
circumstances under which you, because of the degree of control you exercise
over the underlying investments, and not London Pacific would be considered the
owner of the shares of the Investment Options. If this occurs, it will result in
the loss of the favorable tax treatment for the Contract. It is unknown to what
extent Owners are permitted to select Investment Options, to make transfers
among the Investment Options or the number and type of Investment Options Owners
may select from. If any guidance is provided which is considered a new position,
then the guidance would generally be applied prospectively. However, if such
guidance is considered not to be a new position, it may be applied
retroactively. This would mean that you, as the Owner of the Contract, could be
treated as the owner of the Investment Options.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, London Pacific reserves the right to modify
the Contracts in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
SURRENDERS
YOU CANNOT MAKE ANY SURRENDERS FROM A GUARANTEED CONTRACT AFTER THE FREE-LOOK
PERIOD.
If you own a Non-Guaranteed Contract and have chosen Annuity Option 3, you may
make a total surrender of your Contract after the Annuity Date by submitting
a Written Request to the Annuity Service Center. Partial surrenders are not
permitted.
When you make a complete surrender London Pacific will calculate the amount you
will receive by using the annuity unit values as of the date it receives your
surrender request. We will mail the proceeds to you within three (3) business
days unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect (see
below). The proceeds will be reduced by the commutation fee.
INCOME TAXES AND TAX PENALTIES MAY APPLY TO ANY SURRENDER YOU MAKE.
Suspension of Payments or Transfers
London Pacific may be required to suspend or postpone payments for surrenders or
transfers for any period when:
1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings);
2. trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
3. an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of shares of the
Investment Options is not reasonably practicable or London Pacific cannot
reasonably value the shares of the Investment Options; or
4. during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by
order, so permits for the protection of owners.
DEATH BENEFIT
If you, the Joint Owner, the Annuitant or the Joint Annuitant die before the
Annuity Date, London Pacific will pay your Beneficiary a death benefit. The
death benefit is calculated as of the day we receive written notification of Due
Proof of Death. For a Guaranteed Contract, the death benefit is equal to the
Contribution plus interest. For a Non-Guaranteed Contract, the death benefit is
equal to the Contract value.
The death benefit will be paid after the death of the Owner, the Joint Owner, if
any, the Annuitant or the Joint Annuitant, if any, whichever death occurs first.
The entire death benefit must be paid within 5 years of the date of death unless
the Beneficiary elects to have the death benefit payable under an Annuity
Option. The death benefit payable under an Annuity Option must be paid over the
Beneficiary's lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary's
life expectancy. Payment must begin within one year of the date of death. In the
event of the death of the Owner who is not an Annuitant, if the Beneficiary is
the spouse of the Owner, he or she may elect to continue the Contract in his/her
own name.
Payment to the Beneficiary, other than a single lump sum, can only be elected
during the 60 day period beginning with the date of receipt of Due Proof of
Death.
If you or a Joint Owner die on or after the Annuity Date, any remaining Annuity
Payments will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution
in effect at the Owner's death. Upon the death of the Owner on or after the
Annuity Date, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner.
Under a Guaranteed Contract, upon the death of the Annuitant on or after the
Annuity Date, any remaining payments will continue at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.
Under a Non-Guaranteed Contract, upon the death of the Annuitant on or after the
Annuity Date, the Beneficiary will have the option under Annuity Options 2 and 3
of having payments continue to the Beneficiary for the remainder of the period
or taking the death benefit in a single lump sum. The lump sum will be equal to
the present value of the guaranteed Annuity Payments, discounted at a rate equal
to the sum of the AIR plus 1.00% using the Annuity Unit values as of the date we
receive written notification of Due Proof of Death. Death benefits will be paid
at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
Annuitant's death.
If the Contract is owned by a non-individual (e.g., a corporation), then the
death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner for purposes of
the distribution of the death benefit.
OTHER INFORMATION
LONDON PACIFIC
London Pacific Life & Annuity Company (London Pacific) was organized in 1927 in
North Carolina as a stock life insurance company. London Pacific was acquired
from Liberty Life in 1989. London Pacific is authorized to sell life insurance
and annuities in 40 states and the District of Columbia. London Pacific's
ultimate parent is London Pacific Group Limited, an international fund
management firm chartered in Jersey, Channel Islands.
London Pacific's financial statements appear in the SAI and should be considered
only as bearing upon London Pacific's ability to meet its obligations under the
Contracts.
YEAR 2000
London Pacific's computer systems related to variable annuity products is Year
2000 compliant. Like other variable annuity companies, London Pacific would be
adversely affected if the computer systems used by the adviser, the sub-advisers
and other service providers to the Investment Options do not properly process
and calculate data-related information and data as of and after January 1, 2000.
London Pacific believes the adviser, sub-advisers and service providers are
taking steps that they believe are reasonably designed to address the Year 2000
issue. At this time, however, there can be no assurance that these steps will be
sufficient to avoid any adverse impact.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
London Pacific established a separate account known as LPLA Separate Account One
(Separate Account) to hold the assets that underlie the Contracts. The Board of
Directors of London Pacific adopted a resolution to establish the Separate
Account under North Carolina insurance law on November 21, 1994. We have
registered the Separate Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The assets of the Separate Account are held in London Pacific's name on behalf
of the Separate Account and legally belong to London Pacific. However, those
assets that underlie the Contracts, are not chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business London Pacific may conduct. All the income, gains and
losses (realized or unrealized) resulting from these assets are credited to or
charged against the Contracts and not gains any other contracts we may issue.
DISTRIBUTION
London Pacific Financial and Insurance Services, 1755 Creekside Oaks Drive,
Sacramento, California 96833 acts as the principal underwriter of the Contracts.
London Pacific Financial and Insurance Services is registered as a broker-dealer
with the SEC and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. London Pacific Financial and Insurance Services is an affiliate of London
Pacific. Commissions will paid to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts.
Broker-dealers will be paid a commission, up to an amount currently equal to 9%
of the Contribution for promotional or distribution expenses.

affects Annuity Payments over time. The Annuity Payments reflect three different
assumptions for a constant investment return before all expenses: 0%, 6% and
12%. These are hypothetical rates of return. London Pacific does not guarantee
that the Contract will earn these returns for any one year or any sustained
period of time. The tables are for illustrative purposes only. They do not
represent past or future investment returns.
The Annuity Payments will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity
Payment amount shown in your Contract regardless of the actual returns of the BT
Equity 500 Index Fund. Since it is very likely that investment returns will
fluctuate over time, Annuity Payments will also fluctuate. However, the payment
will never fall below the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment amount. The total
amount of Annuity Payments you will ultimately receive will depend on the
cumulative investment returns and how long the Annuitant lives and the Annuity
Option you chose.
The illustration that follows is based on a 3% Assumed Investment Return (AIR).
Currently, this is the only AIR available for Guaranteed Contracts.
The Annuity Payments shown reflect the deduction of all fees and expenses.
Actual Investment Option fees and expenses will vary from year to year and may
be higher or lower than the assumed rate. The illustration assumes that the BT
Equity 500 Index Fund will incur expense at an annual rate of 0.30% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund. This is the annualized average as of June
30, 1998. The Separate Account Charge of 1.25% and the Guaranteed Minimum
Annuity Payment Charge of 2.10% are used in the calculations. After taking these
expenses and charges into consideration, the illustrated gross investment
returns of 0%, 6% and 12% are approximately equal to net rates of 3.00%, 3.00%
and 7.92%, respectively.

Appendix
NON-GUARANTEED CONTRACTS
The following tables have been prepared to show you how investment performance
affects Annuity Payments over time. The Annuity Payments reflect three different
assumptions for a constant investment return before all expenses: 0%, 6% and
12%. These are hypothetical rates of return. London Pacific does not guarantee
that the Contract will earn these returns for any one year or any sustained
period of time. The tables are for illustrative purposes only. They do not
represent past or future investment returns.
The Annuity Payments may be more or less than the Annuity Payments shown if the
actual returns of the Investment Options are different than those illustrated.
Since it is very likely that investment returns will fluctuate over time,
Annuity Payments will also fluctuate. The total amount of Annuity Payments you
will ultimately receive will depend on the cumulative investment returns and how
long the Annuitant lives and the Annuity Option you chose.
Another factor which determines the amount of Annuity Payments is the Assumed
Investment Return. Payments will increase from one Annuity Payment date to the
next if the annualized net rate of return during that time is greater than the
Assumed Investment Return. It will decrease if the annualized net rate of return
is less than the Assumed Investment Return.
Three illustrations follow. The first is based on a 3% Assumed Investment
Return, the second is based on a 5% Assumed Investment Return, and the third is
based on a 7% Assumed Investment Return.
The Annuity Payments shown reflect the deduction of all fees and expenses.
Actual Investment Option fees and expenses will vary from year to year and from
Investment Option to Investment Option and may be higher or lower than the
assumed rate. The illustrations assume that each Investment Option will incur
expense at an annual rate of 1.26% of the average daily net assets of the
Investment Option. This is the annualized average as of June 30, 1998, weighted
by each Investment Option's net assets as of June 30, 1998. The Separate Account
Charge is calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily account
values of the Separate Account. After taking these expenses and charges into
consideration, the illustrated gross investment returns of 0%, 6% and 12% are
approximately equal to net rates of -2.49%, 3.36% and 9.22%, respectively.

LONDON PACIFIC
Information regarding London Pacific Life & Annuity Company ("London Pacific" or
the "Company") and its ownership is contained in the Prospectus.
London Pacific contributed the initial capital to the Separate Account. As of
April 1, 1998, the initial capital contributed by London Pacific represented
approximately 6.03% of the total assets of the Separate Account. London Pacific
currently intends to retain these funds in the Separate Account.
EXPERTS
The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, and the financial
statements of the Separate Account as of December 31, 1997 and for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the period from January 31, 1996 (commencement of
operations) to December 31, 1996, included in this Statement of Additional
Information have been so included in reliance on the reports of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of
said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
LEGAL OPINIONS
Blazzard, Grodd & Hasenauer, P.C., Westport, Connecticut has provided advice on
certain matters relating to the federal securities and income tax laws in
connection with the Contracts.
DISTRIBUTOR
London Pacific Financial and Insurance Services acts as the distributor. London
Pacific Financial and Insurance Services is an affiliate of the Company. The
offering is on a continuous basis.
CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
YIELD CALCULATION FOR THE BERKELEY MONEY MARKET SUB-ACCOUNT
The Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account of the Separate Account will calculate its
current yield based upon the seven days ended on the date of calculation. The
Company does not currently advertise any yield information for the Berkeley
Money Market Sub-Account.
The current yield of the Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account is computed daily by
determining the net change (exclusive of capital changes) in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing Owner account having a balance of one Accumulation
Unit of the Sub-Account at the beginning of the period, subtracting the Separate
Account Charge, and with respect to the Guaranteed Contract, the Guaranteed
Minimum Annuity Payment Charge, dividing the difference by the value of the
Owner account at the beginning of the same period to obtain the base period
return and multiplying the result by (365/7).
The Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account computes its effective compound yield by
determining the net changes (exclusive of capital change)in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing Owner account having a balance of one Accumulation
Unit of the Sub-Account at the beginning of the period, subtracting the Separate
Account Charge, and with respect to the Guaranteed Contract, the Guaranteed
Minimum Annuity Payment Charge and dividing the difference by the value of the
Owner account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period
return, and then compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising the sum
to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the result,
according to the following formula: Effective Yield = ((Base Period Return
+1)365/7)-1. The current and the effective yields reflect the reinvestment of
net income earned daily on the Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account's assets.
Net investment income for yield quotation purposes will not include either
realized capital gains and losses or unrealized appreciation and depreciation,
whether reinvested or not.
The yields quoted should not be considered a representation of the yield of the
Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account in the future since the yield is not fixed.
Actual yields will depend not only on the type, quality and maturities of the
investments held by the Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account and changes in the
interest rates on such investments, but also on changes in the Berkeley Money
Market Sub-Account's expenses during the period.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the performance of the Berkeley
Money Market Sub-Account and for providing a basis for comparison with other
investment alternatives. However, the Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account's yield
fluctuates, unlike bank deposits or other investments which typically pay a
fixed yield for a stated period of time.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time, the Company may advertise performance data as described in
the Prospectus. Any such advertisement will include standardized average annual
total return figures for the time periods indicated in the advertisement. Such
total return figures will reflect the deduction of the Separate Account Charge
and, with respect to the Guaranteed Contract, the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity
Payment Charge.
The hypothetical value of a Contract purchased for the time periods described in
the advertisement will be determined by using the actual Accumulation Unit
values for an initial $1,000 Contribution. The average annual total return is
then determined by computing the fixed interest rate that a $1,000 Contribution
would have to earn annually, compounded annually, to grow to the hypothetical
value at the end of the time periods described. The formula used in these
calculations is:
n
P (1+T) = ERV
Where:
P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value at the end of the time periods used (or
fractional portion thereof) of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the time periods used.
The Contracts are new and therefore have no performance history. However, the
Separate Account has invested in certain Investment Options for some time and
has an investment performance history. In order to show how the historical
performance of the funds underlying the Separate Account affect the Contract's
values, London Pacific may develop performance information. The information will
be based upon the historical experience of the Separate Account and the
underlying funds for the periods shown.
In addition to total return data, the Company may include yield information in
its advertisements. For each Sub-Account (other than the Berkeley Money Market
Sub-Account) for which the Company will advertise yield, it will show a yield
quotation based on a 30 day (or one month) period ended on the date of the most
recent balance sheet of the Separate Account included in the registration
statement, computed by dividing the net investment income per Accumulation Unit
earned during the period by the maximum offering price per Unit on the last day
of the period, according to the following formula:
6
Yield = 2 [( a-b + 1) - 1]
----
cd
Where:
a = Net investment income earned during the period by the Portfolio
attributable to shares owned by the Sub-Account.
b = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
c = The average daily number of Accumulation Units outstanding during
the period.
d = The maximum offering price per Accumulation Unit on the last day of
the period.
London Pacific may also advertise performance data which may be computed on a
different basis which may not include certain charges. If such charges were
deducted, the performance would be lower.
You should note that the investment results of each Sub-Account will fluctuate
over time, and any presentation of the Sub-Account's total return or yield for
any period should not be considered as a representation of what an investment
may earn or what your total return or yield may be in any future period.
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
Note: The following description is based upon the Company's understanding of
current federal income tax law applicable to annuities in general. The Company
cannot predict the probability that any changes in such laws will be made.
Purchasers are cautioned to seek competent tax advice regarding the possibility
of such changes. The Company does not guarantee the tax status of the Contracts.
Purchasers bear the complete risk that the Contracts may not be treated as
"annuity contracts" under federal income tax laws. It should be further
understood that the following discussion is not exhaustive and that special
rules not described in this Prospectus may be applicable in certain situations.
Moreover, no attempt has been made to consider any applicable state or other tax
laws.
GENERAL
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") governs
taxation of annuities in general. An Owner is not taxed on increases in the
value of a Contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a lump sum
payment or as annuity payments under the Annuity Option elected.
For annuity payments, the portion of a payment includible in income equals the
excess of the payment over the exclusion amount. The exclusion amount for
payments based on a variable annuity option is determined by dividing the
investment in the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee)
by the number of years over which the annuity is expected to be paid (determined
by Treasury Regulations). Payments received after the investment in the Contract
has been recovered (i.e. the total of the excludable amounts equal the
investment in the Contract) are fully taxable. The taxable portion of an annuity
payment is taxed at ordinary income rates. For certain types of Qualified Plans
there may be no cost basis in the Contract within the meaning of Section 72 of
the Code, resulting in the whole payment being fully taxable. Contract Owners,
Annuitants and Beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent financial
advice about the tax consequences of any distributions.
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal
income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from the
Company, and its operations form a part of the Company.
DIVERSIFICATION
Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on the
underlying assets of variable annuity contracts. The Code provides that a
variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for any
period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments are not adequately
diversified in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States
Treasury Department ("Treasury Department"). Disqualification of the Contract as
an annuity contract would result in the imposition of federal income tax on the
Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to the receipt of
payments under the Contract. The Code contains a safe harbor provision which
provides that annuity contracts such as the Contracts meet the diversification
requirements if, as of the end of each quarter, the underlying assets meet the
diversification standards for a regulated investment company and no more than
fifty-five percent (55%) of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S.
government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.
On March 2, 1989, the Treasury Department issued regulations (Treas. Reg.
1.817-5) which established diversification requirements for the investment
portfolios underlying variable contracts such as the Contracts. The regulations
amplify the diversification requirements for variable contracts set forth in the
Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision described above.
Under the regulations, an investment portfolio will be deemed adequately
diversified if: (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the
portfolio is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the
value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any two
investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the
portfolio is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of
the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any four
investments.
The Code provides that for purposes of determining whether or not the
diversification standards imposed on the underlying assets of variable contracts
by Section 817(h) of the Code have been met, "each United States government
agency or instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer."
The Company intends that all portfolios of the funds underlying the Contracts
will be managed in such a manner as to comply with these diversification
requirements.
The Treasury Department has indicated that the diversification Regulations do
not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which Owner control of the
investments of the Separate Account will cause the Owner to be treated as the
owner of the assets of the Separate Account, thereby resulting in the loss of
favorable tax treatment for the Contract. At this time it cannot be determined
whether additional guidance will be provided and what standards may be contained
in such guidance.
The amount of Owner control which may be exercised under the Contract is
different in some respects from the situations addressed in published rulings
issued by the Internal Revenue Service in which it was held that the policy
owner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account. It is unknown
whether these differences, such as the Owner's ability to transfer among
investment choices or the number and type of investment choices available, would
cause the Owner to be considered as the owner of the assets of the Separate
Account resulting in the imposition of federal income tax to the Owner with
respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to receipt of payments under
the Contract.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set forth a new
position, such guidance or ruling will generally be applied only prospectively.
However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set forth a new
position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the Owner being
retroactively determined to be the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, the Company reserves the right to modify
the Contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
Section 72(e)(11) of the Code provides that multiple non-qualified annuity
contracts which are issued within a calendar year period to the same contract
owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one annuity contract for
purposes of determining the tax consequences of any distribution. Such treatment
may result in adverse tax consequences, including more rapid taxation of the
distributed amounts from such combination of contracts. The legislative history
of Section 72(e)(11) indicates that it was not intended to apply to immediate
annuities. However, the legislative history also states that no inference is
intended as to whether the Treasury Department, under its authority to prescribe
rules to enforce the tax laws, may treat the combination purchase of a deferred
annuity contract with an immediate annuity contract as a single contract for
purposes of determining the tax consequences of any distribution.
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS--NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions from annuity
contracts. It provides that if the Contract Value exceeds the aggregate purchase
payments made, any amount withdrawn will be treated as coming first from the
earnings and then, only after the income portion is exhausted, as coming from
the principal. Withdrawn earnings are includable in gross income. It further
provides that a ten percent (10%) penalty will apply to the income portion of
any distribution. However, the penalty is not imposed on amounts received: (a)
after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2; (b) after the death of the Owner; (c) if
the taxpayer is totally disabled (for this purpose disability is as defined in
Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (d) in a series of substantially equal periodic
payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life
expectancy) of the taxpayer and his Beneficiary; (e) as an annuity payment under
an immediate annuity; or (f) which are allocable to purchase payments made prior
to August 14, 1982.
The above information does not apply to Qualified Contracts. However, separate
tax withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to such Qualified Contracts.
(See "Tax Treatment of Distributions - Qualified Contracts.")
QUALIFIED PLANS
The Contracts offered herein are designed to be suitable for use under various
types of Qualified Plans. Taxation of participants in each Qualified Plan varies
with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan. Owners,
Annuitants and Beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a Qualified Plan
may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms
and conditions of the Contracts issued pursuant to the plan. Some retirement
plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not
incorporated into the Company's administrative procedures. Owners, participants
and Beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions,
distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with
applicable law. Following are general descriptions of the types of Qualified
Plans with which the Contracts may be used. Such descriptions are not exhaustive
and are for general informational purposes only. The tax rules regarding
Qualified Plans are very complex and will have differing applications depending
on individual facts and circumstances. Each purchaser should obtain competent
tax advice prior to purchasing a Contract issued under a Qualified Plan.
Contracts issued pursuant to Qualified Plans include special provisions
restricting Contract provisions that may otherwise be available as described
herein. Generally, Contracts issued pursuant to Qualified Plans are not
transferable except upon surrender or annuitization. Various penalty and excise
taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of
applicable limitations. Furthermore, certain withdrawal penalties and
restrictions may apply to surrenders from Qualified Contracts. (See "Tax
Treatment of Distributions - Qualified Contracts" below.)
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in Arizona Governing Committee v.
Norris that optional annuity benefits provided under an employer's deferred
compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
vary between men and women. The Contracts sold by the Company in connection with
employer sponsored Qualified Plans will utilize annuity tables which do not
differentiate on the basis of sex. Such annuity tables will also be available
for use in connection with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
a. Individual Retirement Annuities
Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an
individual retirement program known as an "Individual Retirement Annuity"
("IRA"). Under applicable limitations, certain amounts may be contributed to an
IRA which will be deductible from the individual's gross income. These IRAs are
subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions, transferability and
distributions. (See "Tax Treatment of Distributions - Qualified Contracts"
below.) Under certain conditions, distributions from other IRAs and other
Qualified Plans may be rolled over or transferred on a tax-deferred basis into
an IRA. Sales of Contracts for use with IRAs are subject to special requirements
imposed by the Code, including the requirement that certain informational
disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA. Purchasers of
Contracts to be qualified as Individual Retirement Annuities should obtain
competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an
investment.
Roth IRAs
Beginning in 1998, individuals may purchase a new type of non-deductible IRA,
known as a Roth IRA. Purchase payments for a Roth IRA are limited to a maximum
of $2,000 per year. Lower maximum limitations apply to individuals with adjusted
gross incomes between $95,000 and $110,000 in the case of single taxpayers,
between $150,000 and $160,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint
returns, and between $0 and $10,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing
separately. An overall $2,000 annual limitation continues to apply to all of a
taxpayer's IRA contributions, including Roth IRA and non-Roth IRAs.
Qualified distributions from Roth IRAs are free from federal income tax. A
qualified distribution requires that an individual has held the Roth IRA for at
least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after
the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on the individual's death or disability, or
as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum,
for the individual, a spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor. Any distribution
which is not a qualified distribution is taxable to the extent of earnings in
the distribution. Distributions are treated as made from contributions first and
therefore no distributions are taxable until distributions exceed the amount of
contributions to the Roth IRA. The 10% penalty tax and the regular IRA
exceptions to the 10% penalty tax apply to taxable distributions from a Roth
IRA.
Amounts may be rolled over from one Roth IRA to another Roth IRA. Furthermore,
an individual may make a rollover contribution from a non-Roth IRA to a Roth
IRA, unless the individual has adjusted gross income over $100,000 or the
individual is a married taxpayer filing a separate return. The individual must
pay tax on any portion of the IRA being rolled over that represents income or a
previously deductible IRA contribution. However, for rollovers in 1998, the
individual may pay that tax ratably over the four taxable year period beginning
with tax year 1998.
Purchasers of Contracts to be qualified as a Roth IRA should obtain competent
tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
b. Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit corporate employers to establish
various types of retirement plans for employees. These retirement plans may
permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide benefits under the Plan.
Contributions to the Plan for the benefit of employees will not be includible in
the gross income of the employees until distributed from the Plan. The tax
consequences to participants may vary depending upon the particular plan design.
However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on all Plans including on
such items as: amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of
distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and nonforfeitability of
interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax
treatment of distributions, withdrawals and surrenders. (See "Tax Treatment of
Distributions - Qualified Contracts" below.) Purchasers of Contracts for use
with Corporate Pension or Profit Sharing Plans should obtain competent tax
advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS - QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
In the case of a surrender under a Qualified Contract, the earnings portion of
the amount surrendered will be includible in taxable income. Special tax rules
may be available for certain distributions from a Qualified Contract. Section
72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any
distribution from qualified retirement plans, including Contracts issued and
qualified under Code Sections 401 (Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans including
401(k) plans) and 408 and 408A (Individual Retirement Annuities including Roth
IRAs). To the extent amounts are not includible in gross income because they
have been rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible Qualified Plan, no tax
penalty will be imposed. The tax penalty will not apply to the following
distributions: (a) if distribution is made on or after the date on which the
Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (b) distributions
following the death or disability of the Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) (for
this purpose disability is as defined in Section 72(m) (7) of the Code); (c)
after separation from service, distributions that are part of substantially
equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or
life expectancy) of the Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) or the joint lives
(or joint life expectancies) of such Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) and his
or her designated Beneficiary; (d) distributions to an Owner or Annuitant (as
applicable) who has separated from service after he has attained age 55; (e)
distributions made to the Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such
distributions do not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction under Code
Section 213 to the Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during
the taxable year for medical care; (f) distributions made to an alternate payee
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (g) distributions from an
Individual Retirement Annuity for the purchase of medical insurance (as
described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the Owner or Annuitant (as
applicable) and his or her spouse and dependents if the Owner or Annuitant (as
applicable) has received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks (this
exception will no longer apply after the Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) has
been re-employed for at least 60 days); (h) distributions from an Individual
Retirement Annuity made to the Owner or Annuitant(as applicable) to the extent
such distributions do not exceed the qualified higher education expenses (as
defined in Section 72(t)(7) of the Code) of the Owner or Annuitant (as
applicable) for the taxable year; and (i) distributions from an Individual
Retirement Annuity made to the Owner or Annuitant (as applicable) which are
qualified first-time home buyer distributions (as defined in Section 72(t)(8) of
the Code.) The exceptions stated in (d) and (f) above do not apply in the case
of an Individual Retirement Annuity. The exception stated in (c) above applies
to an Individual Retirement Annuity without the requirement that there be a
separation from service.
Generally, distributions from a qualified plan must begin no later than April
1st of the calendar year following the later of (a) the year in which the
employee attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the employee
retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to an Individual Retirement
Annuity. There are no required distributions from a Roth IRA prior to death of
the Owner. Required distributions must be over a period not exceeding the life
expectancy of the individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the
individual and his or her designated beneficiary. If the required minimum
distributions are not made, a 50% penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not
distributed.
TAX TREATMENT OF ASSIGNMENTS
An assignment or pledge of a Contract may be a taxable event. Owners should
therefore consult competent tax advisers should they wish to assign their
Contracts.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
All distributions or the portion thereof which is includible in the gross income
of the Owner are subject to federal income tax withholding. Generally, amounts
are withheld from periodic payments at the same rate as wages and at the rate of
10% from non-periodic payments. However, the Owner, in most cases, may elect not
to have taxes withheld or to have withholding done at a different rate.
Effective January 1, 1993, certain distributions from retirement plans qualified
under Section 401 or Section 403(b) of the Code, which are not directly rolled
over to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account or
individual retirement annuity, are subject to a mandatory 20% withholding for
federal income tax. The 20% withholding requirement generally does not apply to:
a) a series of substantially equal payments made at least annually for the life
or life expectancy of the participant or joint and last survivor expectancy of
the participant and a designated beneficiary or for a specified period of 10
years or more; or b) distributions which are required minimum distributions; or
c) the portion of the distributions not includible in gross income (i.e. returns
of after-tax contributions). Participants should consult their own tax counsel
or other tax adviser regarding withholding requirements.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
DETERMINATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The first annuity payment will be calculated on the annuity calculation date.
Annuity payments will reflect the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts of
the Separate Account during the annuity period. On the annuity calculation date,
a fixed number of annuity units will be purchased, determined as follows:
The first annuity payment is equal to the Contribution, with interest with
respect to the Guaranteed Contract and the Contract value with respect to the
Non-Guaranteed Contract, divided by $1,000 and then multiplied by the payment
factor shown in your Contract. In each Sub-Account, the fixed number of annuity
units is determined by dividing the amount of the initial annuity payment
determined for the Sub-Account by the annuity unit value on the annuity
calculation date. Thereafter, the number of annuity units in the Sub-Account
remains unchanged (or unless you choose to make a transfer if you own a
Non-Guaranteed Contract). All calculations will appropriately reflect the
payment frequency you selected.
The dollar amount of annuity payments for each Sub-Account after the first
annuity payment is determined as follows:
1. The dollar amount of the first annuity payment is divided by the value of an
annuity unit for each applicable Sub-Account as of the annuity calculation date.
This sets the number of annuity units for each monthly payment for the
applicable Sub-Account. The number of annuity units for each applicable
Sub-Account remains fixed after the annuity calculation date.
2. The fixed number of annuity units in each Sub-Account is multiplied by the
annuity unit value for that Sub-Account for the last valuation period. This
results in the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Sub-Account.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUES
The value of an annuity unit for each Sub-Account of the Separate Account will
vary to reflect the investment experience of the eligible funds. The value of
any Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account was arbitrarily set initially. Annuity
Unit values for any subsequent valuation period will be determined by
multiplying the value of the annuity unit for that Sub-Account on the preceding
day by the product of: (a) the net investment factor (see below) for that
Sub-Account for the day for which the annuity unit value is being calculated,
and (b) the annuity unit factor which neutralizes the assumed investment return
(AIR). Both the annuity unit factor and the AIR are set forth in your
Contract.
Net Investment Factor: The net investment factor for each Sub-Account is equal
to:
(a) the value of a share of the corresponding eligible fund at the end of
the valuation period (plus the per share amount of any unpaid dividends or
capital gains by that eligible fund); divided by
(b) the value of the share of the corresponding eligible fund at the
beginning of the valuation period; and
(c) subtracting from that amount the daily Separate Account Charge, and
with respect to the Guaranteed Contract, the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Payment
Charge.
Valuation period means the period of time beginning at the close of business of
the New York Stock Exchange on each business day and ending at the close of
business for the next succeeding business day.
(See "Annuity Payments (The Annuity Period)" in the Prospectus.)

LPLA SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
LPLA Separate Account One ("Separate Account") is a separate investment account
of London Pacific Life & Annuity Company ("Company"). The Separate Account was
established on November 23, 1994 under the insurance laws of the State of North
Carolina for the purpose of issuing flexible payment variable annuity contracts.
Under North Carolina's insurance laws, the assets of the Separate Account are
clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of
the Company. The Separate Account cannot be charged with liabilities arising out
of any other business of the Company.
The Separate Account is a unit investment trust registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Contract
owners may allocate their account values to one or more of the Separate
Account's investment Sub-Accounts. Funds of the investment Sub-Accounts of the
Separate Account are invested exclusively in a corresponding investment
portfolio of the LPT Variable Insurance Series Trust ("Trust") managed by LPIMC
Insurance Marketing Services ("LPIMC"), a registered investment advisor and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Prior to May 1, 1997, the Harris Associates Sub-Account was known as the MAS
Value Sub-Account and the Robertson Stephens Diversified Growth Sub-Account was
known as the Berkeley Smaller Companies Sub-Account. Prior to November 3, 1997,
the Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account was known as the Salomon Money Market
Sub-Account and the Berkeley U.S. Quality Bond Sub-Account was known as the
Salomon U.S. Quality Bond Sub-Account.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies which are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently followed
by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements. 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 at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENTS - Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Investments
held by the Sub-Accounts are stated at the net asset value per share of the
respective investment portfolio of the Trust. Realized gains and losses on sales
of shares of the Trust are determined based on the first-in, first-out method.
Dividends and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date
and are reinvested in additional shares of the respective investment portfolio
of the Trust.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - Operations of the Separate Account are included in the
income tax return of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company
under the Internal Revenue
LPLA SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
Code. The Separate Account will not be taxed as a registered investment company
under Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Under existing federal income
tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment income or on the capital gains
of the Separate Account.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS
The number of shares owned, aggregate cost, and net asset value per share of
each Sub-Account's investment in the Trust at December 31, 1997 were as follows:

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company assesses a charge of 1.25% per annum based on the average daily net
assets of each Sub-Account at each valuation date for mortality and expense
risks. The Company also charges each Sub-Account .15% and .10% per annum based
on the average daily net assets of each Sub-Account for administrative and
distribution expenses, respectively. These charges are deducted from the daily
unit value of each Sub-Account but are paid to the Company on a monthly basis. A
contract maintenance charge of $36 is currently deducted on the policy
anniversary date and upon full surrender of the policy when the accumulated
value is $50,000 or less.
London Pacific Financial and Insurance Services ("LPFIS"), a registered
broker/dealer and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is principal
underwriter and general distributor of the Separate Account. LPFIS does not
receive any compensation for sales of the variable annuity contracts.

NOTE 6 - DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code a variable
annuity contract, other than a contract issued in connection with certain types
of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as an annuity contract for
federal income tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the
segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately
diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may
be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test
or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
of Treasury.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the
Code. The Company believes that it satisfies the current requirements of the
regulations, and it intends that the Separate Account will continue to meet such
requirements.
NOTE 7 - AMOUNT RETAINED BY THE COMPANY
The amount retained by the Company is attributable to the Company's
contributions to the Separate Account, the underlying investment results and
amounts withdrawn by the Company. The change in this amount arises from that
portion, determined ratably, of the Separate Account's investment results
applicable to the net assets owned by the Company. The funds contributed by the
Company, as well as any investment appreciation or depreciation, are not subject
to charges for mortality and expense risks, administration expenses and
distribution expenses.
Amounts retained by the Company in the Separate Account may be transferred by
the Company to its General Account at any time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of London Pacific Life & Annuity
Company and Contract Owners of LPLA Separate Account One
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts
(Harris Associates Value, MFS Total Return, Berkeley U.S. Quality Bond, Berkeley
Money Market, Strong International Stock, Strong Growth, Robertson Stephens
Diversified Growth and Lexington Corporate Leaders) constituting LPLA Separate
Account One at December 31, 1997, the results of each of their operations for
the year then ended and the changes in each of their net assets for the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of London Pacific Life & Annuity
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of investments at December 31, 1997 by correspondence with the
Trust, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
January 30, 1998, except as to Note 17,
which is as of March 12, 1998
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
London Pacific Life & Annuity Company
We have audited the accompanying statutory statements of admitted assets,
liabilities, capital and surplus of London Pacific Life & Annuity Company (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of London Pacific Group Limited) as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related statutory statements of operations, of changes in
capital and surplus, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997. 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.
As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared in conformity
with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the North Carolina
Department of Insurance, which practices differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. Accordingly, the financial statements are not intended to
represent a presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the
statutory basis of accounting and generally accepted accounting principles,
although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
London Pacific Life & Annuity Company
Page 2
January 30, 1998, except as to Note 17,
which is as of March 12, 1998
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above (1) do not present
fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial position of London Pacific Life & Annuity Company at December 31, 1997
and 1996, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 because of the effects of the
variances between the statutory basis of accounting and generally accepted
accounting principles referred to in the third paragraph of this report and (2)
do present fairly, in all material respects, its financial position and the
results of its operations and its cash flows on the basis of accounting
described in Note 1.

LONDON PACIFIC LIFE & ANNUITY COMPANY
(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF LONDON PACIFIC GROUP LIMITED)
NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
London Pacific Life & Annuity Company (the Company) is domiciled in North
Carolina and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The London Pacific Assurance
Group Limited (the Parent), a holding company domiciled in the state of
California, which is ultimately a wholly-owned subsidiary of London
Pacific Group Limited (formerly Govett & Company Limited). The Company
has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, LPIMC Insurance Marketing Services
(the Marketing Company), a registered investment advisor and London
Pacific Financial & Insurance Services (the Broker Dealer), a registered
broker-dealer. The Company is engaged primarily in the development and
marketing of annuity products and universal life insurance. Although the
Company is licensed and sells its universal life and annuity products in
40 states, its primary markets are California, Florida, Michigan, Ohio,
Texas and Washington.
The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and
assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known,
which could impact amounts reported and disclosed herein.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the North Carolina
Department of Insurance which is a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than generally accepted accounting principles. Significant
differences between statutory accounting principles and generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are described in Note 2.
INVESTMENTS
Investments are recorded in accordance with the requirements of the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Bonds not backed
by loans are reported at cost or amortized cost; the discount or premium
on bonds is amortized using the interest method. For loan-backed bonds,
anticipated prepayments are considered when determining the amortization
of discount or premium. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer
surveys and are based on the current interest rate and economic
development. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all
such securities except for interest-only securities, which are valued
using the prospective method. Preferred stocks are carried at NAIC
Securities Valuation Office (SVO) values. Common stocks are reported at
market value as determined by the SVO and the related unrealized capital
gain/(loss) is reported in unassigned surplus without any adjustment for
federal income taxes. The Company's subsidiaries are reported at equity
in the underlying statutory basis of their net assets. As of December 31,
1997, the carrying value of the Company's investment in subsidiaries was
$1,050,061. Short-term investments are carried at cost which
approximates market value.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE FORWARD CONTRACTS
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge
exposure to currency risk on foreign denominated bonds. The cost of the
contracts is included as part of the carrying value of the underlying
securities. As of December 31, 1997, there were no open contracts. The
Company uses the deferral method to account for foreign exchange forward
contracts. Under the deferral method, realized and unrealized gains and
losses from these forward contracts are deferred on the Statutory
Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. Upon
disposal of the hedged security, deferred gains and losses are recognized
in net realized capital gains in the Statutory Statement of Operations.
The Company only enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with
brokers deemed to be credit worthy by management.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT
Electronic data processing equipment is recorded at cost, net of
accumulated depreciation of $2,000,381 and $1,783,263 at December 31,
1997 and 1996. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of five years. Depreciation expense
amounted to $217,118, $272,204 and $346,495 for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
REMITTANCES AND ITEMS NOT ALLOCATED
Remittances and items not allocated consist primarily of cash received
with policy applications for policies that have not been issued.
POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS
Policy and contract claims of $243,843 and $294,629 related to death
benefits payable on life and annuity contracts have been accrued at
December 31, 1997 and 1996. The remaining policy and contract claims of
$110,171 and $87,800 at December 31, 1997 and 1996 relate to estimated
incurred but unreported claims on life contracts.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying
Statutory Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus
represent funds that are separately administered for variable annuity
contracts, and for which the contract holder, rather than the Company,
bears the investment risk. Separate account assets are reported at market
value. The operations of the separate account are not included in the
accompanying financial statements.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial

2. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND
STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Statutory accounting principles vary in some respects from generally
accepted accounting principles. The more significant of these differences
are as follows:
INVESTMENTS
Market values of certain investments in bonds and stocks are based on
values specified by the NAIC, rather than on values provided by outside
broker confirmations or internally calculated estimates. For GAAP,
investments in bonds would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity,
trading, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would
be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity
investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains
and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as
a separate component of shareholders' equity for those designated as
available-for-sale. Realized gains and losses are reported in income net
of income tax rather than on a pretax basis. The Asset Valuation Reserve
is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a
liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of
surplus.
2. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND
STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
SUBSIDIARIES
The accounts and operations of the Company's subsidiaries are not
consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company.
POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred
rather than capitalized and amortized over the terms of the related
policies.
NON-ADMITTED ASSETS
Certain assets designated as "non-admitted," principally furniture and
equipment, are excluded from the accompanying Statutory Statements of
Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus and are charged
directly to unassigned surplus.
PREMIUMS
Single premium whole life, annuity and flexible premium variable life
insurance considerations are recognized as earned upon issuance of the
contract, whereas under GAAP, premium income consists of mortality
charges, surrender charges earned, policy fees earned and amounts
deducted from policyholder accounts.
BENEFIT RESERVES
Certain policy reserves are calculated based on statutory required
interest and mortality assumptions rather than estimated expected
experience or actual account balances.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are not provided for differences between the
financial statement amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The provision for federal income taxes has been computed in accordance
with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Company
files a separate federal income tax return and is not included in a
consolidated return with affiliated entities.
The Company's total tax expense differs from an amount computed by
applying the federal income tax of 35 percent to statutory income. The
five primary items required to reconcile taxable income and statutory
income are: (1) capitalization of policy acquisition costs, (2)
differences in computing reserves for statutory and tax purposes, (3)
differences in statutory and tax bases of assets sold, (4) exclusion of
IMR amortization, and (5) differences in timing for the deduction of
accrued expenses.
6. AGGREGATE RESERVES FOR LIFE POLICIES AND CONTRACTS
Aggregate reserves for life policies and contracts have generally been
computed using the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method (CRVM) or the
Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM) prescribed by the
North Carolina Department of Insurance. The aggregate reserves for life
policies and contracts were computed on a policy-by-policy basis.
Statutory reserves for policy benefits due under universal life and
accumulation annuity insurance contracts are computed using the CRVM and
the CARVM, respectively. The CRVM and CARVM reserves established for
specific contracts are the greater of a formula reserve or the cash
surrender value of the contract.
The formula reserves for the universal life policies are computed using
the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary (CSO) mortality table and
discount rates of 5.5% - 4.0%. These assumptions are in compliance with
the minimum statutory requirements.
The accumulation annuity insurance contracts include a single premium
deferred annuity product and a flexible premium deferred annuity product.
The formula reserves for the single premium deferred annuity are higher
than the cash surrender value due to the one year interest rate guarantee
provision of these contracts. The Company computed reserves with an
interest rate of 5.50% for 1997 and 1996 issues and 6.00% for 1995
issues. These rates are the maximum statutory interest rates for such
contracts. For flexible premium deferred annuities, the cash surrender
value is never greater than the formula reserves, but may be equal to the
CARVM reserve due to the calendar quarter interest guarantee provision of
these contracts. The Company uses the same interest rates to compute
reserves as are used for single premium deferred annuities.
Reserves for policy benefits due under immediate annuity insurance
contracts are based on a present value actuarial computation using a
statutory discount rate and a statutory mortality basis. The reserves are
based on the 83a annuity and mortality table and with a discount rate of
6.75% for 1997 and 1996 and 7.25% for 1995.
6. AGGREGATE RESERVES FOR LIFE POLICIES AND CONTRACTS (CONTINUED)

liabilities at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

Fair values are based on published quotations of the SVO of the NAIC.
Fair values generally represent quoted market value prices for securities
traded in the public marketplace, or analytically determined values using
bid or closing prices for securities not traded in the public
marketplace. However, for certain investments for which the NAIC does not
provide a value, the Company uses the amortized cost amount as a
substitute for fair value in accordance with prescribed guidance. As of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the fair value of investments in debt
securities includes $823,054,516 and $863,848,633, respectively, of debt
securities that were valued at amortized cost.
The cost or amortized cost and the fair value of debt securities at
December 31, 1997, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected
maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may
have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or
prepayment penalties.

9. REINSURANCE
The maximum amount of direct universal life insurance retained on any
life is $250,000. Amounts in excess of $250,000 are ceded on a Yearly
Renewable Term basis of reinsurance. Life insurance ceded to other
companies for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 totaled
$42,496,000 and $47,349,000 or 11.2% and 11.7% of life insurance in
force, respectively. A contingent liability exists with respect to
insurance ceded which would become a liability should the reinsurer be
unable to meet the obligations assumed under reinsurance agreements.
10. SURPLUS
Under the Insurance Code of the State of North Carolina, in a given
year the Company may make dividend distributions without prior approval
of the Insurance Commissioner up to the lesser of its net gain from
operations for the preceding year or 10% of surplus as of December 31
of the preceding year. The maximum dividend that could be paid during
1998 without the Insurance Commissioner's approval is $5,909,742.
The NAIC has adopted Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements which became
effective December 31, 1993, that attempt to evaluate the adequacy of a
life insurance company's adjusted statutory capital and surplus in
relation to investment, insurance and other business risks. The RBC
formula is used by the states as an early warning tool to identify
possible weakly capitalized companies for the purpose of initiating
regulatory action and is not designed to be a basis for ranking the
financial strength of insurance companies. In states which have adopted
the NAIC regulations, the new RBC requirements provide for four
different levels of regulatory attention depending on the ratio of the
company's adjusted capital and surplus to its RBC. As of December 31,
1997, the adjusted capital and surplus of the Company is substantially
in excess of the minimum level of RBC that would require regulatory
response.
11. ASSET VALUATION AND INTEREST MAINTENANCE RESERVES
The purpose of the AVR is to decrease the volatility of the incidence of
asset losses and to recognize the long term return expectations for
equity investments. The increase or decrease to this reserve is charged
or credited directly to surplus.
The purpose of the IMR is to minimize the effect of gains and losses
arising from interest rate movements. All realized gains and losses (net
of tax) classified as interest related are accumulated and amortized into
net income over the remaining period to maturity of the security sold.
The effect of recording the IMR at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
to defer total net capital gains of $19,991,216, $12,352,297 and
$10,190,326, respectively, and to recognize $2,306,437, $683,806 and
($185,844), respectively, of IMR amortization into income.
12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have
been determined using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to
interpret market data to develop these estimates. Accordingly, these
estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be
realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market
assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts. For financial instruments not separately
disclosed below, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair
value.

surrender charges. The estimated fair value of immediate annuity
contracts is based on the present value of expected benefits using a
discount rate equal to the 5-year Treasury rate.
13. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
At December 31, 1997, the Company held unrated or less-than-investment
grade corporate bonds of $158,715,991. Those holdings amounted to 13.7%
of the Company's investments in bonds and less than 12.4% of the
Company's total admitted assets. The holdings of less-than-investment
grade bonds are widely diversified and management believes are of
satisfactory quality based on the Company's investment policies and
credit standards.

15. DEFERRED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
Certain agents producing business for the Company participate in a
stock appreciation rights plan sponsored by the Parent. The rights vest
over a five year period based on the persistency of certain levels of
policyholder account values assigned to the agent and the agent
remaining active with the Company. The Parent will reimburse the
Company for any plan benefits as they are withdrawn by the
participating agents. There were no plan benefits paid in 1997 and none
of the plan benefits were vested as of December 31, 1997.
Certain members of Company management are eligible to participate in a
contributory deferred compensation plan sponsored by BHL. Compensation
deferred pursuant to the terms of the plan was $125,408 as of December
31, 1997.
Certain members of Company management participate in an incentive share
option plan sponsored by the Parent whereby the employee can purchase
shares of the Parent's common stock. Stock options are granted to
employees at a price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the
date of grant. The stock options were granted during the years 1990
through 1997. As of December 31, 1997 1,763,500 shares of the Parent's
common stock were subject to options granted under the plan with option
prices ranging from $2.15 to $3.86. During 1997, options on 249,000
shares of common stock became exercisable under the plan with option
prices ranging from $2.39 to $3.86. No options were exercised or
forfeited during 1997. The Parent will reimburse the Company for any
plan benefits as they are paid.
16. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Rental expense for all leases was $609,627, $550,944 and $722,359 for
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Future minimum rental commitments
under noncancelable operating leases for office space and equipment
aggregate $2,133,639 through 2000. The amounts due by year are $719,453
in 1998, $723,578 in 1999, $368,891 in 2000, $138,016 in 2001, and
$183,701 thereafter.
The Company has contingent liabilities resulting from anticipated state
guaranty association assessments for life insurers deemed insolvent
during the year. Although the total amount of this exposure is not
known, a substantial portion of the amount assessed will be recovered
against future premium taxes under current laws and regulations. As of
December 31, 1997, the Company estimates its net contingent liability
for future state guaranty association assessments is within range of
$500,000 to $2,000,000. The Company has not committed any surplus funds
to reserve for the contingent liability. The Company recognizes its
obligation for guaranty fund assessments when it receives notice that
an amount is payable to a guaranty fund. Expenses incurred for guaranty
fund assessments were $1,007,354, $1,674,481 and $1,075,244 in 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal actions
concerning policy benefits and certain other matters. Those actions are
considered by the Company in estimating policy reserves and other
liabilities. The Company believes that the resolution of those actions
should not have a material adverse affect on the Company's statutory
surplus.
The Company has been named as a cross-defendant in a complaint filed by
The American Endeavor Fund Limited ("AEF") where the plaintiff seeks
damages in excess of $2 million. The Company believes that the alleged
claims are without merit. While these claims are being contested, the
outcome is not predictable with assurance. The Company believes that
any liability resulting from these claims should not have a material
adverse affect on the Company's statutory surplus.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 12, 1998, all legal proceedings involving AEF were settled.
The settlement is conditional upon the passing by AEF shareholders of
resolutions ratifying and approving AEF's participation in the
settlement agreement and upon approval from The Royal Court of the
Island of Jersey for a related reduction of AEF's share premium
account. AEF has announced that it has received irrevocable
undertakings in favor of the resolutions from sufficient shareholders
to assure their passing. The Company does not expect to have any
liability to AEF under the terms of the settlement agreement.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS
Not Applicable
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
The Bylaws (Article V) of the Company provide that:
Subject to the laws of the State of North Carolina, any present or former
director, officer or employee of the Company, or any person who, at the request
of the Company, express or implied, may have served as a director or officer of
another Company in which this Company owns shares or of which this Company is a
creditor, shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses and other liabilities,
including attorney's fees actually and reasonably incurred by him and any amount
paid by him in discharge of a judgment, fine, penalty of costs against him or
paid by him in a settlement approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, in
any action or proceeding, including any civil, criminal or administrative
action, suit, hearing or proceeding, to which he is a party by reason of being
or having been a director, officer or employee of this or such other Company.
This section is not intended to extend or to limit in any way the rights and
remedies provided with respect to indemnification of directors, officers,
employees and other persons provided by the laws of the State of North Carolina
but is intended to express the desire of the stockholders of this Company that
indemnification be granted to such directors, officers, employees and other
persons to the fullest extent allowable by such laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted directors and officers or controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

sale of Contracts that are registered with the SEC. You also agree

representative or ceases to be qualified in any manner to sell,
procure or in any way service such Contracts.

Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and all other applicable
Federal or state laws. You shall establish such rules and
procedures as may be necessary to cause diligent supervision of
the securities activities of Your agents, employees and/or
affiliated persons or organizations. Upon Our request, You shall
furnish in a timely fashion any records necessary to establish
such diligent supervision.

control; and (b) that his or her right to continue to solicit and
procure such Contracts is subject to his or her continued
compliance with such agreement.
4.1.3Should one of Your agents fail or refuse to submit to Your

otherwise fails to comply with Your rules or meet Your standards,
You shall immediately: (a) notify such agent that he or she is no
longer authorized to solicit or procure Contracts; (b) take

activities of such agent in relation to the Contracts; and (c)

Agreement.
5.2 We pay commissions and/or service fees in relation to Contracts in the
amounts and for the periods of time set out in the Schedule which is

applications received for Contracts later issued if they are received

5.4 Any current or subsequent Schedule may provide other or additional
conditions regarding compensation and if so, will be controlling to
the extent of other or additional conditions.
5.5 Compensation is payable only on applications We accept, and only after
We receive at Our Home Office both the required premium and any
outstanding delivery requirements as established by law, regulation or
by Us.
5.6 You agree to repay to Us in full the total compensation paid to You on
any Contract premium We return for any reason. You agree to repay such
compensation within seven (7) business days of notice to You of such a
return of amounts relating to premium.
5.7 All compensation shall cease to be payable on and after termination of
this Agreement, if such occurs for one or more of the reasons
specified in Section 8.2.
5.8 We shall not be obligated to pay any compensation related to Contracts
registered with the SEC if You are disqualified for continued
registration with the NASD, as such would represent a violation of
NASD rules. In such event, We shall hold any compensation due in
"escrow" from the date of such disqualification, provided You (a)
commence an appeal to the NASD within 180 days following the
disqualification notice; (b) actively pursue such appeal; and (c)
notify Us of such appeal. Should Your NASD registration be reinstated,
all compensation due or becoming due to You during the period of
disqualification shall be immediately paid, without interest, provided
this does not violate any NASD rules or regulations in effect at said
time.
6.0 GENERAL PROVISIONS
6.1 You shall cooperate with Us in the investigation and settlement of all
claims, actions, or complaints against You, and of Your agents and/or

Sub-Account until the expiration of the Right to Examine Contract period.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT: The Separate Account is designated on the Contract
Schedule and consists of assets set aside by the Company, which are kept
separate from that of the general assets and all other separate account assets
of the Company. The assets of the Separate Account equal to reserves and other
liabilities will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other

listed on the Contract Schedule. The assets of the Sub-Accounts are allocated to

shown on the Contract Schedule. The Company may, from time to time, add an
additional Eligible Fund(s) or Portfolio(s) to those shown on the Contract
Schedule. The Owner may be permitted to transfer Contract Values to the
additional Sub-Account(s) within the Separate Account. However, the right to
make such transfers or allocations will be limited by the terms and conditions
imposed by the Company.
Should the shares of any such Eligible Fund(s) or any Portfolio(s) within an
Eligible Fund become unavailable for investment by the Separate Account, or the
Company's Board of Directors deems further investment in these shares
inappropriate, the Company may limit further purchase of such shares or
substitute shares of another Eligible Fund or Portfolio for shares already
purchased under this Contract.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGE: Each Valuation Period, the Company deducts a Separate
Account Charge from each Sub-Account of the Separate Account which are equal, on
an annual basis, to the amounts shown on the Contract Schedule. The Separate
Account Charge compensates the Company for assuming the mortality and expense
risks under this Contract and the costs associated with the administration of
this Contract and the Separate Account.
VALUATION OF ASSETS: The assets of the Separate Account are valued at their fair
market value in accordance with procedures of the Company.
VALUATION PROVISIONS
ACCUMULATION UNITS: Prior to the Annuity Date, Accumulation Units shall be used
to account for all amounts allocated to or withdrawn from the Sub-Accounts of
the Separate Account as a result of the Contribution, transfers, or fees and
charges. The Company will determine the number of Accumulation Units of a
Sub-Account purchased or cancelled. This will be done by dividing the amount
allocated to (or the amount withdrawn from) the Sub-Account by the dollar value
of one Accumulation Unit of the Sub-Account as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the request for the transaction is received at the Annuity
Service Center.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE: The Accumulation Unit Value for each Sub-Account for
any Valuation Period is determined by subtracting (2) from (1) and dividing the
result by (3) where:
1. is the result of:
a. the assets of the Sub-Account attributable to Accumulation Units;
plus or minus
b. the cumulative charge or credit for taxes reserved which is
determined by the Company to have resulted from the operation of
the Sub-Account.
2. is the cumulative unpaid charge for the Separate Account Charge, which
is shown on the Contract Schedule; and
3. is the number of Accumulation Unit outstanding at the end of the
Valuation Period.
The Accumulation Unit Values may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to
Valuation Period.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUE: The value of an Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account of the
Separate Account will vary to reflect the investment experience of the
applicable Eligible Funds and will be determined by multiplying the value of the
Annuity Unit for that Sub-Account on the preceding day by the product of (a) the
Net Investment Factor for that Sub-Account for the day for which the Annuity
Unit Value is being calculated, and (b) the Annuity Unit Factor which
neutralizes the Assumed Investment Return. Both the Annuity Unit Factor and the
Assumed Investment Return appear on the Contract Schedule.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR: The Net Investment Factor for each Sub-Account is equal
to:
(a) the value of a share of the corresponding Eligible Fund at the end of
the Valuation Period (plus the per share amount of any unpaid
dividends or capital gains by that Eligible Fund ); divided by
(b) the value of a share of the corresponding Eligible Fund at the
beginning of the Valuation Period: and
(c) subtracting from that amount the daily Separate Account Charge shown
on the Contract Schedule.
CONTRACT VALUE
The Contract Value for any Valuation Period is the sum of the Contract Value in
each of the Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account.
The Contract Value in a Sub-Account of the Separate Account prior to the Annuity
Date is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units allocated to
the Sub-Account by the Accumulation Unit Value.
There is no Contract Value after the Annuity Date.
TRANSFERS
TRANSFERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE: Prior to the Annuity Calculation Date, the
Owner may transfer all or part of the Contract Values held in the Sub-Accounts
into other Sub-Accounts by Written Request without the imposition of any fee or
charge. Owners can elect to make transfers by telephone. To do so Owners must
complete a Written Request. Subsequent transfers will be subject to the Transfer
Provisions and Charges described on the Contract Schedule.
The Company reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice to any
party, to terminate, suspend or modify the transfer privilege described above.
If the Owner elects to use this transfer privilege, the Company will not be
liable for transfers made in accordance with the Owner's instructions. All
amounts and Accumulation Units will be determined as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the request for transfer is received at the Annuity Service
Center.
TRANSFERS AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE: After the Annuity Date the Owner may make
transfers, by Written Request, as follows:
1. The Owner may make transfers between Sub-Accounts, subject to the
Transfer Provisions and Charges described on the Contract Schedule.
2. Transfers between Sub-Accounts will be made by converting the number
of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity Units of
the Sub-Account to which the transfer is made, so that the next
Annuity Payment if it were made at the time would be the same amount
that it would have been without the transfer. Thereafter, annuity
payments will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity Units.
The Company reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice to any
party, to terminate, suspend or modify the transfer privilege described above.
If the Owner elects to use this transfer privilege, the Company will not be
liable for transfers made in accordance with the Owner's instructions. All
amounts and Annuity Unit Values will be determined as of the end of the
Valuation Period during which the request for transfer is received at the
Annuity Service Center.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITY DATE: The Annuity Date must be the thirtieth (30th) day after the Issue
Date shown on the Contract Schedule. The Annuity Date is shown on the Contract
Schedule.
DETERMINATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS: The first annuity payment will be calculated
on the Annuity Calculation Date which will be no more than 5 days prior to the
Annuity Date. Annuity payments reflect the investment performance of the
Separate Account in accordance with the allocation of the Contract Value to the
Sub-Accounts during the Annuity Period. On the Annuity Calculation Date, a fixed
number of Annuity Units will be purchased, determined as follows:
ANNUITY PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
The first annuity payment is equal to the Contract Value, divided first by
$1,000 and then multiplied by the Payment Factor shown on the Contract Schedule.
In each Sub-Account the fixed number of Annuity Units is determined by dividing
the amount of the initial annuity payment determined for each Sub-Account by the
Annuity Unit Value on the Annuity Calculation Date. Thereafter, the number of
Annuity Units in each Sub-Account remains unchanged unless the Owner elects to
transfer between Sub-Accounts. All calculations shall appropriately reflect the
Annuity Payment Frequency selected.
Once annuity payments have begun, the number of Annuity Units remains fixed with
respect to a particular Sub-Account. If the Owner elects that continuing annuity
payments be based on a different Sub-Account, the number will change effective
with that election but will remain fixed in number following such election. The
method of calculating the Annuity Unit Value is described under Valuation
Provisions.
The dollar amount of annuity payments for each Sub-Account after the first
annuity payment is determined as follows:
1. The dollar amount of the first annuity payment is divided by the value
of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Sub-Account as of the Annuity
Date. This sets the number of Annuity Units for each monthly payment
for the applicable Sub-Account. The number of Annuity Units for each
applicable Sub-Account remains fixed after the Annuity Calculation
Date;
2. The fixed number of Annuity Units in each Sub-Account is multiplied by
the Annuity Unit Value for that Sub-Account for the last Valuation
Period . This result is the dollar amount of the payment for each
applicable Sub-Account.
The Company guarantees that the dollar amount of annuity payments will not be
adversely affected by variations in the expense results and in the actual
mortality experience of Annuitants from the mortality assumptions, including any
age adjustment, used in determining the first monthly payment.
FREQUENCY AND AMOUNT OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS: If the annuity payment would be or
becomes less than $100, the Company will reduce the frequency of the annuity
payment to an interval which will result in each payment being at least $100.
SUSPENSION OR DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT PROVISIONS
The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone payments from the Separate
Account for a benefit payment or transfer:
(a) for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed or
during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
(b) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which
(i) disposal of the securities held in the Sub-Accounts is not
reasonably practicable, or (ii) it is not reasonably practicable for
the value of the net assets of the Separate Account to be fairly
determined; and
(c) for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may,
by order, permit for the protection of the contract owners. The
conditions under which trading shall be deemed to be restricted or any
emergency shall be deemed to exist shall be determined by rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OWNER, ANNUITANT, OWNERSHIP, ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS
OWNER: The Owner has all interest and right to amounts held in his or her
Contract. The Owner/Joint Owner is the person designated as such on the Issue
Date, unless changed.

assignment of the Contract must be provided to the Annuity Service Center. Until
the Written Request is received, the Company will not be required to take notice
of or be responsible for any transfer of interest in the Contract by assignment,
agreement, or otherwise.
The Company will not be responsible for the validity or tax consequences of any
assignment. Any assignment made after the death benefit has become payable will
be valid only with the Company's consent.
If the Contract is assigned, the Owner's rights may only be exercised with the
consent of the assignee of record.
PROCEEDS PAYABLE ON DEATH
DEATH BEFORE ANNUITY DATE: If an Owner or an Annuitant dies before the Annuity
Date, the Company will pay the Beneficiary the death benefit described below.
The death benefit is calculated as of the date the Company receives written
notification of Due Proof of Death. The death benefit is equal to the Contract
Value.
DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE: The Beneficiary must elect
the death benefit to be paid under one of the options below:
(a) The entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years
of the date of death, or
(b) The Beneficiary elects to have the death benefit distributed over a
period that does not extend beyond such Beneficiary's life or life
expectancy and payments start within 1 year after the date of death,
or
(c) In the event of death of an Owner who is not an Annuitant, if the
designated Beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased owner, he or she
may elect to continue the Contract.
The death benefit will be paid after the death of the Owner, the Joint Owner, if
any, the Annuitant, or the Joint Annuitant, if any, whichever death is first.
Payment to the Beneficiary, other than in a single lump sum, may only be elected
during the sixty-day period beginning with the date of receipt of Due Proof of
Death.
PROCEEDS PAYABLE ON DEATH (CONTINUED)
DEATH OF OWNER ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE: If the Owner, or any Joint Owner,

the Annuity Date the Beneficiary becomes the Owner.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE: Upon the death of the Annuitant
on or after the Annuity Date, the Beneficiary will have the option of having
payments, if any, continue to the Beneficiary for the remainder of the period or
taking the death benefit in a lump sum as provided on the Contract Schedule.
Death benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.

Annuitant shall be treated as the death of the Owner for purposes of the
distribution of the death benefit.

in effect until changed. The Beneficiary is entitled to receive the benefits to
be paid at the death of the Owner, the Joint Owner, or the Annuitant or the
Joint Annuitant.

shares to the survivor(s) as follows:
1. to the Primary Beneficiary(ies) who survive the Owner's, the Joint
