AN OVERVIEW OF         The following replaces the Other Expenses section on
PACIFIC PORTFOLIOS-    page 7 of the Prospectus:
Fees and Expenses
paid by the Pacific    Other expenses
Select Fund: Other
Expenses is            The table also shows the advisory fee and Fund expenses
replaced               as an annual percentage of each Portfolio's average
                       daily net assets for the year 2000, adjusted to reflect
                       reduced custody fees. To help limit Fund expenses,
                       effective July 1, 2000 we contractually agreed to waive
                       all or part of our investment advisory fees or
                       otherwise reimburse each Portfolio for operating
                       expenses (including organizational expenses, but not
                       including advisory fees, additional costs associated
                       with foreign investing and extraordinary expenses) that
                       exceed an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net
                       assets. Such waiver or reimbursement is subject to
                       repayment to us to the extent such expenses fall below
                       the 0.10% expense cap. For each Portfolio, our right to
                       repayment is limited to amounts waived and/or
                       reimbursed that exceed the new 0.10% expense cap and,
                       except for Portfolios that started on or after October
                       2, 2000, that do not exceed the previously established
                       0.25% expense cap. Any amounts repaid to us will have
                       the effect of increasing such expenses of the
                       Portfolio, but not above the 0.10% expense cap. There
                       is no guarantee that we will continue to cap expenses
                       after December 31, 2001. In 2000, Pacific Life
                       reimbursed approximately $19,662 to the I-Net
                       Tollkeeper Portfolio, $12,631 to the Strategic Value
                       Portfolio, $4,849 to the Focused 30 Portfolio and

                           were: 1.29% for Emerging Markets Portfolio, 0.69%

                           International Large-Cap Portfolio, 1.60% for I-Net
                           Tollkeeper Portfolio, 0.28% for Equity Index
                           Portfolio, 0.60% for Small-Cap Index Portfolio,

                           Portfolio, and 0.63% for High Yield Bond Portfolio.
                       +   The Fund has adopted a brokerage enhancement 12b-1
                           plan, under which brokerage transactions may be
                           placed with broker-dealers in return for credits,
                           cash, or other compensation that may be used to
                           help promote distribution of Fund shares. There are
                           no fees or charges to any Portfolio under this
                           plan, although the Fund's distributor may defray
                           expenses of up to approximately $850,000 for the
                           year 2000, which it might otherwise incur for
                           distribution. If such defrayed amount were
                           considered a Fund expense, it would represent
                           approximately .0067% or less of any Portfolio's
                           average daily net assets.

                       . the Contract Value starts at $45,000

                       . the Investment Options have an annual return of 5%

                       . the Annual Fee is deducted even when the Contract
                         Value goes over $50,000 and a waiver would normally
                         apply.

                       would pay if you did not buy the optional Enhanced

                       Benefit Rider, but not the GIA Rider. These expenses
                       depend on the age of the youngest Annuitant on the
                       Contract Date.

         either entity for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
         Pacific Life, PSD, or such officer, director, agent or employee in
         connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claims,
         damages, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in
         addition to any liability which Broker-Dealer may otherwise have.
