   SECURITIES VALUATION TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME:             
   The market value of investments in the  Sub-Accounts  is based on the closing
   net asset values of the Fund shares held at the end of the period. Investment
   transactions  are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to purchase
   or redeem is executed) and dividend income and capital gain distributions are
   recorded  on  the  ex-dividend   date.  Net  realized  gains  and  losses  on
   redemptions  of shares of the Funds are  determined  on the basis of specific
   identification of Fund share costs.                                          
                                                                                
   VARIABLE ANNUITY RESERVES:                                                   
   The  amount of the  reserves  for  contracts  in the  distribution  period is
   determined by actuarial assumptions which meet statutory requirements.  Gains
   or losses resulting from actual mortality experience, the full responsibility
   for which is assumed by Northern  Life,  are offset by  transfers  to or from
   Northern Life.                                                               
                                                                                
2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:                                                        
   Under current tax law, the income, gains and losses from the separate account
   investments are not taxable to either the Account or Northern Life.          
                                                                                
3. CONTRACT CHARGES:                                                            
   No deduction is made for a sales charge from the purchase  payments  made for
   the contracts.  However, on certain surrenders Northern Life will deduct from
   the contract value a surrender charge as set forth in the contract.          
                                                                                
   Certain  charges  are made by  Northern  Life to  Contract  Owners'  Variable
   Account  Contract Value in accordance with the terms of the Contracts.  These
   charges may include:  an annual  contract charge of $30 from each contract on
   the anniversary  date or at the time of surrender,  if surrender is at a time
   other than the anniversary date; a daily  administrative  charge; and a daily
   charge for mortality and expense risk assumed by Northern Life.              
                                                                                
   Various  states and other  governmental  units levy a premium  tax on annuity
   contracts issued by insurance companies.  If the owner of a contract lives in
   a state which levies such a tax,  Northern  Life may deduct the amount of the
   tax from the purchase  payments  received or the Contract  Value  immediately
   before it is applied to an Annuity Payout.
