This prospectus offers a variable annuity contract allowing you to accumulate values and paying you benefits on a variable and/or fixed basis. This prospectus provides details regarding your variable annuity contract. For additional details, please also consult your contract. This contract is not available in all states.
 
Variable annuities provide contract values and lifetime annuity payments that vary with the investment results of the mutual funds listed later in this prospectus (“Funds”) that you choose. You cannot be sure that the contract value or annuity payments will equal or exceed your purchase payments.
 
The variable annuity contracts are designed for:
 
•  annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and certain tax-exempt organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, (the “Code”), qualifying for tax-deferred treatment pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Code,
 
•  other employee pension or profit-sharing trusts or plans qualifying for tax-deferred treatment under Section 401(a), 401(k) or 403(a) of the Code,
 
•  individual retirement annuities qualifying for tax-deferred treatment under Section 408 or 408A of the Code,
 
•  state and municipal deferred compensation plans and
 
•  non-tax-qualified retirement plans.
 
Many of the listed qualified retirement plans already benefit from tax deferral. Therefore, your decision to fund any of the above-listed qualified retirement plans with a deferred annuity should include an assessment of the other benefits available under this annuity contract.
 
The minimum initial purchase payment is $5,000 ($2,000 for IRAs). You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time ($300 for payroll deduction plans). We may limit your total purchase payments for any one life to $1,500,000.
 
You may direct the allocation of your purchase payments to one or more subaccounts of Variable Account N (“VAN”) and/or the Fixed Accumulation Account. Your allocation of contract values may be to no more than 18 of the available investment options and the Fixed Accumulation Account. VAN is a separate account of National Security Life and Annuity Company (“National Security”). The assets of VAN are invested in shares of the Funds. The Funds are portfolios of Ohio National Fund, Inc., ALPS Variable Insurance Trust, Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund, Federated Insurance Series, Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products Fund, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, Ivy Funds Variable Insurance Portfolios, Janus Aspen Series, Lazard Retirement Series, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust, MFS® Variable Insurance Trust, Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, The Prudential Series Fund, Inc., Royce Capital Fund and The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. (Van Kampen). See page 2 for the list of available Funds. See also the accompanying prospectuses of the Funds. The Fund prospectuses might also contain information about funds that are not available for these contracts.
 
You may withdraw all or part of the contract’s value before annuity payments begin. You might incur federal income tax penalties for these early withdrawals. We may charge you a surrender charge of up to 6% of the amount withdrawn. However, you may withdraw up to 10% of the contract value each year without this charge. Your exercise of contract rights may be subject to the terms of your qualified employee trust or annuity plan. This prospectus contains no information concerning your trust or plan.
 
You may revoke the contract, without penalty, within 10 days of receiving it (or a longer period if required by state law).
 
Keep this prospectus for future reference. It sets forth the information about VAN and the variable annuity contracts that you should know before investing. Additional information about VAN has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2009. We have incorporated the Statement of Additional Information by reference. It is available upon request and without charge by writing or calling us at the above address. The table of contents for the Statement of Additional Information is on the back page of this prospectus.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. This prospectus should be accompanied by the current Fund prospectuses.

Table of Contents

 
Glossary
 
Accumulation unit — Until annuity payments begin, your contract’s value in each subaccount is measured by accumulation units. The dollar value of each unit varies with the investment results of the subaccount’s corresponding Fund.
 
Annuitant — A living person whose length of life determines the number of annuity payments to be made.
 
Annuity unit — After annuity payments begin, the amount of each payment depends upon the value of your annuity units. The dollar value of each unit varies with the investment results of the subaccount’s corresponding Fund.
 
ARDBR — The annual reset death benefit rider offered with this contract. The ARDBR and ARDBR (2009) are the ARDBR riders.
 
Asset Allocation Model — The Asset Allocation Models are a service that National Security offers. Each Asset Allocation Model is developed by Ohio National Investments, Inc. and is comprised of a combination of available investment options. Please see “Optional Asset Allocation Models” for more information.
 
Eligible Contract Value — The contract value protected or guaranteed by a particular rider. The eligible contract value may be more or less than the total contract value. In most cases, the eligible contract value is the initial purchase payment, plus additional purchase payments made during a limited period of time after the contract is issued.
 
Fund — A mutual fund in which subaccount assets may be invested. See the list of “Available Funds” beginning on page 2.
 
GEB — The guaranteed enhanced benefit rider offered with this contract.
 
GMDB — The guaranteed minimum death benefit amount provided for by the GMDB riders offered with this contract. The GMDBR80 Plus, GMDBR85 Plus, 5% GMDBR80 Plus, 5% GMDBR85 Plus, ARDBR, and ARDBR (2009) are the GMDB riders.
 
GMIB — The guaranteed minimum income benefit amount provided for by the GMIB riders offered with this contract. The GMIB, GMIB Plus, GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset, GMIB Plus with Annual Reset and the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) are the GMIB riders.
 
Good order — An instruction or request is in good order when it is received in our administrative office, or other place we may specify, and has such clarity and completeness that we do not have to exercise any discretion to carry out the instruction or request. We may require that the instruction or request be given in a certain form.
 
GPA — The guaranteed principal access rider offered with this contract.
 
GPP — The guaranteed principal protection rider offered with this contract.
 
Guaranteed earnings rate — The guaranteed earnings rate is the effective annual rate at which values in variable portfolios or in one of the Asset Allocation Models accumulate at with the earnings base of the ARDBR (2009) or the guaranteed earnings income base of the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009).
 
Notice — A written form acceptable to us, signed by you and received at our administrative office (the address listed on the first page of the prospectus).
 
Pro rata — A pro rata adjustment means the benefit or rider base will be reduced by the same percentage that the contract value was reduced by a withdrawal in excess of that provided for by the contract or rider. If your contract value is lower than your rider base, a pro rata reduction will reduce your rider base by a greater amount than a dollar for dollar reduction would. If your contract value is higher than your rider base, a pro rata reduction will reduce your rider base less than a dollar for dollar reduction would.
 
Subaccount — A subdivision of VAN. The assets of each subaccount are invested in a corresponding available Fund.
 
Surrender — To redeem the contract before annuity payments begin and receive its value minus any applicable surrender charge.

Valuation period — A period of time ending at 4:00 PM eastern time on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for unrestricted trading. The valuation period may end sooner to correspond to earlier closings of the New York Stock Exchange. Accumulation unit and annuity unit values for each valuation period are determined at the end of that valuation period.
 
VAN (Variable Account N) — A separate account of National Security consisting of assets segregated from National Security’s general assets for the purpose of funding annuity contracts whose values vary with the investment results of the separate account’s underlying Funds.

National Security
 
National Security is licensed to issue life insurance and annuities in 18 states and the District of Columbia. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1973 as the Urbaine Life Reinsurance Company. In 1993, we were purchased by Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and our name was changed to First ING Life Insurance Company of New York. Our name was changed to National Security Life and Annuity Company on January 4, 2002, when we were purchased by SMON Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation which was owned jointly by Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York (“Security Mutual”) and The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (“Ohio National Life”). In March 2007, Ohio National Life and Security Mutual became direct owners of our stock after SMON Holdings, Inc. was dissolved, and Ohio National Life purchased additional shares of our stock from Security Mutual, increasing its ownership to over 80% of our outstanding stock. Security Mutual is a New York domiciled mutual life insurance company. Ohio National Life is an Ohio domiciled insurance company. Our home office is at 100 Court Street, Binghamton, New York 13902. Our administrative office is at One Financial Way, Montgomery, Ohio 45242.
 
National Security and/or its affiliates may pay retail broker-dealers additional compensation or reimbursement for their efforts in selling our variable contracts. Reimbursements and additional compensation are paid for the purpose of, among other things, training the broker-dealers’ registered representatives regarding the procedures for submitting business to us, internally marketing our products to their registered representatives, educating registered representatives about the benefits

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

and options available under the variable contracts and about the benefits of variable contracts generally. These additional amounts are paid from our profits, not deducted from the contract owners’ purchase payments.
 
Additionally, we may compensate some broker-dealers more than others for the sale of our products. This differential compensation may be based on several factors including, but not limited to, the size of the selling broker-dealer, the amount of previous business generated by the broker-dealer and the length of time National Security has contracted with the broker-dealer for the distribution of our contracts. As with reimbursements, these payments are not deducted from contract owners’ purchase payments.
 
From time to time, National Security and/or its affiliates may also provide non-cash or cash compensation to certain financial institutions or their registered representatives in the form of occasional gifts, meals, tickets to events, educational conference support, special recognition support or other forms of non-cash and cash compensation as may be permitted by certain regulations applicable to broker-dealers.
 
We may credit additional amounts under our contracts for contracts sold to registered representatives (and their immediate families) of broker-dealers that have (i) a selling agreement with us and our principal underwriter to sell the contracts and (ii) approved the payment of the additional amount to their registered representatives. There will be no commissions paid on the sale of these contracts.
 
National Security believes that, consistent with well established industry and SEC practice, the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to it as the depositor of one or more variable insurance product separate accounts. If such requirements are deemed to apply to it as such a depositor, National Security intends to rely on the exemption from such requirements provided by Rule 12h-7 under that Act.
 
Variable Account N
 
We established VAN on January 4, 2002 as a separate account for funding variable annuity contracts. Purchase payments for the variable annuity contracts are allocated to one or more subaccounts of VAN. Your allocation of contract values may be to no more than 18 of the available subaccounts. You may be subject to restrictions on allocations if you purchase certain optional riders. Please see “Investment Restrictions for Certain Optional Riders” and “Optional Asset Allocation Models” for more information.
 
Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to VAN are credited to or charged against VAN without regard to our other income, gains or losses. The assets maintained in VAN will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any of our other business. Nevertheless, all obligations arising under the contracts, including the commitment to make annuity payments, are our general corporate obligations. Accordingly, all our assets are available to meet our obligations under the contracts. VAN is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The assets of the subaccounts of VAN are invested at net asset value in Fund shares. Values of other contracts not offered through this prospectus are also allocated to VAN, including some subaccounts that are not available for these contracts.
 
Investment Options
 
You may allocate your contract values to Funds, the Fixed Accumulation Account or an optional Asset Allocation Model as described below. If you purchase certain optional riders, you may be subject to restrictions on allocations. Please see “Optional Asset Allocation Models” and “Investment Restrictions for Certain Optional Riders” below.
 
Fixed Accumulation Account
 
We may, but are not obligated to offer a Fixed Accumulation Account. The Fixed Accumulation Account guarantees a fixed return for a specified period of time and guarantees the principal against loss. We may also refer to the Guaranteed Account as the Fixed Account. We reserve the right to not offer the Fixed Accumulation

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

Account to new contracts in the future. The Fixed Accumulation Account is not registered as an investment company. Interests in it are not subject to the provisions or restrictions of federal securities laws. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed disclosures regarding it.
 
The Fixed Accumulation Account consists of all of our general assets other than those allocated to a separate account. If the Fixed Accumulation Account is available on your contract, you may allocate purchase payments and contract values between the Fixed Accumulation Account and the Funds. There might be periods when we will not make the Fixed Accumulation Account available on new contracts.
 
We invest our general assets in our discretion as allowed by New York law. We allocate the investment income from our general assets to those contracts having guaranteed values.
 
The amount of investment income allocated to the contracts varies from year to year in our sole discretion. However, we guarantee that we will credit interest at a rate of not less than 3% per year (or such lower rate as may be permitted by applicable state law), compounded annually, to contract values allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account. We may credit interest at a rate in excess of 3% or in excess of the guaranteed minimum interest rate allowed by state law, but any such excess interest credit will be in our sole discretion.
 
We guarantee that, before annuity payments begin, the guaranteed value of the contract in the Fixed Accumulation Account will never be less than:
 
•  the amount of purchase payments allocated to, and transfers into, the Fixed Accumulation Account, plus
 
•  interest credited at the rate of 3% per year (or such other rate that will be indicated in the contract) compounded annually, plus
 
•  any additional excess interest we may credit to guaranteed values, minus
 
•  any withdrawals, loans and transfers from the guaranteed values, minus
 
•  any surrender charge on withdrawals, loan interest, state premium taxes, transfer fees, and the portion of the $30 annual contract administration charge allocable to the Fixed Accumulation Account.
 
No deductions are made from the Fixed Accumulation Account for Account Expense Charges or Mortality and Expense Risk Charges. Insurance risk charges for optional benefit riders are taken pro rata from the Fixed Accumulation Account and variable subaccounts.
 
Other than pursuant to a DCA (scheduled transfer) or portfolio rebalancing program, we may restrict transfers of your Fixed Accumulation Account value during a contract year to not more than 20% of that value as of the beginning of a contract year (or $1,000, if greater). As provided by state law, we may defer the payment of amounts to be withdrawn from the Fixed Accumulation Account for up to six months from the date we receive your written request for withdrawal.
 
The Funds
 
The Funds are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act 1940. Fund shares are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and, in some cases, to qualified plans. The value of each Fund’s investments fluctuates daily and is subject to the risk that Fund management may not anticipate or make changes necessary in the investments to meet changes in economic conditions.
 
The Funds receive investment advice from their investment advisers. The Funds pay each of the investment advisers a fee as shown in the prospectus for each Fund. In some cases, the investment adviser pays part of its fee to a subadviser.

Affiliates of certain Funds may compensate us based upon a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that are allocated to VAN. These percentages vary by Fund. This is intended to compensate us for administrative and other services we provide to the Funds and their affiliates.
 
Some of the Funds are structured as a “Fund of Funds.” A Fund of Funds is a mutual fund that invests primarily in a portfolio of other mutual funds. Because a Fund of Funds invests in other mutual funds rather than individual securities, the Fund of Funds bears a proportionate share of expenses charged by the underlying funds in which it invests. Therefore, a Fund of Funds may have higher expenses than direct investments in the underlying Funds. You should read the Fund prospectuses carefully for more information.
 
For additional information concerning the Funds, including their fees, expenses and investment objectives, see the Fund prospectuses. Read them carefully before investing. They may contain information about other funds that are not available as investment options for these contracts. You cannot be sure that any Fund will achieve its stated objectives and policies. For a free copy of the Fund prospectuses, call 1-877-446-6020.
 
Periodically some of the Funds may be closed to future allocation of purchase payments. This may be at the request of the Fund or based on a decision made by us. Advance written notice will be given to contract owners prior to any such closure.
 
The investment policies, objectives and/or names of some of the Funds may be similar to those of other investment companies managed by the same investment adviser or subadviser. However, similar funds often do not have comparable investment performance. The investment results of the Funds may be higher or lower than those of the other funds.
 
Optional Asset Allocation Models
 
You may choose an optional Asset Allocation Model for your contract’s variable account values. If you choose this option, it must be used for all your variable account values. There is no charge for using an optional Asset Allocation Model. You may choose a model, discontinue using a model or change from one model to another at any time by notifying us. You may not use more than one model at a time. Certain optional benefits require all variable account values be in the Asset Allocation Models from the issuance of the rider until the rider ends according to its terms or annuity payments begin.
 
Asset allocation is the distribution of invested assets among several different kinds of investments (such as large cap domestic value stocks, small cap domestic growth stocks, foreign stocks, long term investment-grade bonds, intermediate term bonds, high income bonds, money market instruments, real estate securities and so on). Historically, diversification among several different kinds of asset classes has been shown to help reduce volatility over long periods of time. However, there can be no assurance that asset allocation will reduce volatility or enhance performance.
 
If you choose the Asset Allocation Models, upon your execution and return of the investment advisory agreement, Ohio National Investments, Inc. (“ONII”) will serve as your investment adviser for the limited purpose of developing and updating the Asset Allocation Models. The Asset Allocation Models do not become dynamic until the investment advisory agreement is executed and returned to ONII. Currently, you are required to sign an investment advisory agreement with ONII in order to be in an Asset Allocation Model. Periodically, typically annually, ONII will assess the make up of each of the Asset Allocation Models to determine if they continue to maintain the optimal level of investment return balanced against the designated risk tolerance for the model. If ONII determines that changes to the models are appropriate, we will notify you at least 30 days before making the change. If we do not hear from you otherwise, we will automatically reallocate the assets contained in the existing model to the new model, based on the limited discretionary authority you will have granted to ONII to do so. If you do not want your contract values reallocated in your existing model, you may move to a different model. If you do not want to move to a different model and you do not wish to have your contract values reallocated in the existing model, we will deem the advisory agreement between ONII and you terminated and no further automatic

rebalancing or reallocation will take place in your contract. If you have a rider that requires participation in the Asset Allocation Models, the effect of the termination of the advisory agreement will be to terminate your rider as well except for the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider which can also remain in force if you adhere to the alternative investment restrictions
 
More information about ONII’s role as your limited purpose investment adviser is contained in Part II of ONII’s Form ADV, which you can request at any time. It is possible that ONII may include underlying funds in the Asset Allocation Models for which it also acts as the investment adviser. As a result, inclusion of such portfolios will result in ONII receiving fund management fees from these funds and portfolios.
 
We have retained Wilshire Associates to assist in the development of Asset Allocation Models, each comprising a combination of the contract’s available Funds. Ohio National, in consultation with ONII selects the underlying Funds to be offered through this annuity contract. Wilshire Associates then performs a quantitative analysis to determine which combination of Funds offers the best opportunity to achieve the expected investment return given the acceptable level of investment risk. ONII approves the final recommendations made by Wilshire Associates. However, we reserve the right to change the third party consultant we use to develop the Asset Allocation Models or to develop the Asset Allocation Model without the use of a third party consultant. Wilshire selects the Funds for each of the models in accordance with risk/return profiles they have developed. Currently the following Models are currently available:
 
  •  Model 1: Conservative (investment objective — preservation of capital)
 
  •  Model 2: Moderately Conservative (investment objective — moderate growth)
 
  •  Model 3: Balanced (investment objective — steady growth in asset values)
 
  •  Model 4: Moderately Aggressive (investment objective — moderately high growth in asset values)
 
  •  Model 5: Aggressive (investment objective — high growth in asset values)
 
Please contact us at 1-888-925-6446 or your registered representative for more detailed information on the Models.
 
Your registered representative or financial adviser can help you determine the model that best fits your risk tolerance, investment horizon and objectives. The variable account portion of any purchase payments you make after selecting an Asset Allocation Model will be allocated among the Funds as specified by the model you choose.
 
At the end of each quarter, variable account values allocated within each model will be rebalanced to maintain the mix of investments in the proportions established for each model. You will then receive a confirmation of the transfers made among the Funds within your contract. The transfer charge does not apply to these quarterly rebalancing transactions.
 
The transfer charge will apply if, by changing from one model to another, you exceed the 12 free transfers allowed per year. When you change models, it counts as one transfer.
 
If your contract includes the optional Guaranteed Principal Protection (“GPP”) or Guaranteed Principal Access (“GPA”) rider, your variable account values must be in one of the models. The GPP or GPA rider will be cancelled if you are no longer using any Asset Allocation Model. If the GPP or GPA is so terminated, a full annual rider charge will be assessed without being prorated to the date of termination.
 
We may limit the availability an Asset Allocation Model under one of the riders with investment restrictions or that requires participation in an Asset Allocation Model. You may only be in one Asset Allocation Model at a time. Therefore, if an Asset Allocation Model becomes unavailable for the allocation of purchase payments under GPP or GPA and you wish to make additional purchase payments, you will have to transfer your contract value to an available Asset Allocation Model.

Currently, if you own the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) you can only be in Asset Allocation Model 2, 3, or 4 or comply with alternative investment restrictions. If an Asset Allocation Model becomes unavailable for the allocation of purchase payments under the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) and you wish to make additional purchase payments, you will have to transfer your contract value to an available Asset Allocation Model or comply with the alternative investment restrictions under those riders.
 
If we limit the availability of a Model under a rider, you make additional purchase payments and you do not take affirmative action to transfer your contract value, your rider will be canceled. If, however, ONII revises the make up of an existing Asset Allocation Model following the procedures described in this section, and you do not opt out of the revised model, you do not have to take any action to maintain your rider.
 
Investment Restrictions for Certain Optional Riders
 
If you select the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, your purchase payments and contract value must be allocated in accordance with the restrictions specified below:

(2)  Any portion of your purchase payments or contract value that is not allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account must be allocated in compliance with either (a) or (b):
 
  (a)  100% must be allocated to one of Asset Allocation Models 2, 3 or 4. See “Optional Asset Allocation Models” for more details. Please contact us at (888) 925-6446 or your registered representative for more detailed information on the Models.
 
or

You may allocate purchase payments to a dollar-cost averaging (“DCA”) account, including the enhanced DCA, and transfer amounts out of the DCA account in accordance with the restrictions described above. See “Scheduled Transfers (Dollar Cost Averaging)” for more details about dollar cost averaging.
 
Transfers.  Any transfer request or change in allocation or rebalance instructions must comply with the applicable investment restrictions. Any transfer request from one Category to another must result in an allocation that continues to meet the investment restrictions. If you make a transfer within a Category, you will still be deemed to have met the investment restrictions, even if your contract value has increased beyond the percentage limit. Please note that a transfer request will not update your purchase payment allocation or rebalance instructions. You must provide us separate instructions to change your purchase payment allocation or rebalance instructions.
 
Classifications.  We have classified investment options into the above Categories based on the fund’s characteristics and our determination of their risk. If a new investment choice is added to your contract, we will determine which of the above Categories, if any, it will be placed in. We may reassess our determination of risk based on characteristics such as investment objectives, strategy or holdings and may change the classification of any investment option in the individual Categories with advance written notice to you. We may limit the availability of any Asset Allocation Model or any investment option under the riders. We may apply any changes to future purchase payments and transfer requests. Any such changes will not apply to transfers out of the DCA account. If an existing investment option becomes unavailable for the allocation of future purchase payments and you wish to make additional purchase payments, you will need to provide us updated allocation instructions that comply with 2(a) or 2(b). If you fail to provide us with new instructions as described and your allocation of purchase payments or contract value violates the investment restrictions, your rider will be terminated.
 
Please note that you may only be in one Asset Allocation Model at a time. Therefore, if an Asset Allocation Model to which your contract value is allocated becomes unavailable for the allocation of future purchase payments under your rider and you wish to make additional purchase payments, you will have to transfer your contract value to an Asset Allocation Model that is available under your rider.
 
If you choose to allocate your purchase payments to an available Asset Allocation Model according to option (2)(a), at the end of each calendar quarter we will rebalance variable account values allocated within each Asset Allocation Model to maintain the mix of investments in the proportions established for each Asset Allocation Model. If you choose to allocate your purchase payments according to option 2(b), you must provide us with rebalance allocation instructions that comply with option 2(b). On each three-month anniversary of the date the applicable rider was added, we will rebalance your contract value in accordance with your rebalance instructions.
 
Termination.  You will not violate the investment restrictions simply because your contract value in the Categories increases or decreases above or below the specified limits. You will violate the investment restrictions if you allocate

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

purchase payments or contract value in a manner not specified above. If you have purchased a GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, your rider will be cancelled if you cease to comply with these described requirements. Furthermore, if you have purchased the ARDBR (2009) in conjunction with the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, the ARDBR (2009) will be cancelled. If one of these riders is terminated, a prorated annual rider charge will apply. Please see “Optional Death Benefit Riders” and “Optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) Riders” for details.
 
Mixed and Shared Funding
 
In addition to being offered to VAN, Fund shares are offered to Variable Account L, our separate account for variable life insurance contracts and to other insurance company separate accounts and qualified plans. It is conceivable that in the future it may become disadvantageous for one or more of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, or separate accounts of other life insurance companies, and qualified plans to invest in Fund shares. Although neither we nor any of the Funds currently foresee any such disadvantage, the Board of Directors or Trustees of each Fund will monitor events to identify any material conflict among different types of owners and to determine if any action should be taken. That could possibly include the withdrawal of VAN’s participation in a Fund. Material conflicts could result from such things as:
 
•  changes in state insurance law;
 
•  changes in federal income tax law;
 
•  changes in the investment management of any Fund; or
 
•  differences in voting instructions given by different types of owners.
 
Voting Rights
 
We will vote Fund shares held in VAN at Fund shareholders meetings in accordance with voting instructions received from contract owners. We will determine the number of Fund shares for which you are entitled to give instructions as described below. This determination will be within 90 days before the shareholders meeting. Proxy material and forms for giving voting instructions will be distributed to each owner. There is no minimum number of contract owners required to reach a quorum. We will vote Fund shares held in VAN, for which no timely instructions are received, in proportion to the instructions that we do receive. As a result, a small number of contract owners may determine the outcome of a vote submitted to the Fund by VAN.
 
Until annuity payments begin, the number of Fund shares for which you may instruct us is determined by dividing your contract value in each Fund by the net asset value of a share of that Fund as of the same date. After annuity payments begin, the number of Fund shares for which you may instruct us is determined by dividing the actuarial liability for your variable annuity by the net asset value of a Fund share as of the same date. Generally, the number of shares tends to decrease as annuity payments progress.
 
Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts
 
The variable annuity contracts are sold by our insurance agents who are also registered representatives of broker-dealers that have entered into distribution agreements with Ohio National Equities, Inc. (“ONEQ”) which is under common control with us because The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (a) is the sole owner of ONEQ and (b), as of March 30, 2007, owns over 80% of our outstanding stock. ONEQ is the principal underwriter of the contracts. ONEQ and the broker-dealers are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. We pay ONEQ 5.5% of each purchase payment and ONEQ then pays part of that to the broker-dealers. The broker-dealers pay their registered representatives from their own funds. Purchase payments on which nothing is paid to registered representatives may not be included in amounts on which we pay the sales compensation to ONEQ. If our surrender charge is not sufficient to recover the fee paid to

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

ONEQ, any deficiency will be made up from our general assets. These include, among other things, any profit from the mortality and expense risk charges. ONEQ’s address is One Financial Way, Montgomery, Ohio 45242.
 
Deductions and Expenses
 
Surrender Charge
 
There is no deduction from purchase payments to pay sales expense. We may assess a surrender charge if you surrender the contract or withdraw part of its value. A surrender charge may apply upon annuitization, depending on the length of the payout period. Generally if payments are for less than the remaining surrender period, the charge may apply. The purpose of this charge is to defray expenses relating to the sale of the contract, including compensation to broker-dealers or other benefits provided under the contract, cost of sales literature and prospectuses, and other expenses related to sales activity. If other fees or charges are being assessed in addition to the surrender charge, we will calculate the surrender charge first. The surrender charge is a percent of your total purchase payments minus all previous withdrawals. This percentage varies with the number of years from the date the purchase payments were made (starting with the first purchase payment) as follows:
 
     
Years
  Payment
 
1st
  6%
2nd
  6%
3rd
  6%
4th
  5%
5th
  3%
6th
  2%
7th and later
  0%
 
During each contract year, you may withdraw not more than 10% of the contract value (as of the day of the first withdrawal made during that contract year) without a surrender charge. You may take this 10% annual free withdrawal in up to 12 installments. We do not assess a surrender charge when a beneficiary takes a lump sum distribution after the death of the annuitant.
 
Annual Contract Fee
 
Each year on the contract anniversary (or when you surrender the contract), we will deduct an annual contract fee of $30 from the contract value. This helps to repay us for maintaining the contract for contracts under $50,000. This helps to cover expenses for accounting, auditing, legal, contract owner services, reports to regulatory authorities and contract owners, contract issue, etc. The account expense charge is not sufficient to cover these expenses for contracts under $50,000. There is no contract fee for contracts having a value of at least $50,000. There is no charge after annuity payments begin. We guarantee not to increase the annual contract fee.
 
Deduction for Account Expense Fee
 
At the end of each valuation period before annuity payments begin we deduct an amount equal to 0.25% on an annual basis of the variable account value. This deduction reimburses us for amounts not covered by the annual contract fee. Examples of these are accounting, auditing, legal, contract owner services, reports to regulatory authorities and contract owners, contract issue, etc.
 
Deduction for Mortality and Expense Risk Fee
 
We guarantee that, until annuity payments begin, the contract’s value will not be affected by any excess of sales and administrative expenses over the deductions for them. We also guarantee to pay a death benefit if the annuitant dies before annuity payments begin. After annuity payments begin and except in the instance of the annuitant’s death, we guarantee that variable annuity payments will not be affected by adverse mortality experience or expenses.

For assuming these risks, when we determine the accumulation unit values and the annuity unit values for each subaccount, we make a deduction from the applicable investment results equal to 0.65% of the variable account value on an annual basis. We may decrease that deduction at any time and we may increase it not more often than annually to not more than 0.65% on an annual basis. We agree that the deduction for these risk undertakings shall not be increased to more than the rate in effect at the time the contract is issued. We may discontinue this limitation on our right to increase the deduction, but only as to contracts purchased after notice of the discontinuance. The risk charge is an indivisible whole of the amount currently being deducted. However, we believe that a reasonable allocation would be 0.35% for mortality risk, and 0.30% for expense risk. We hope to realize a profit from this charge. However there will be a loss if the deduction fails to cover the actual risks involved.
 
Charges for Optional Benefits
 
There is an additional annual charge if you choose an optional benefit. See the individual discussion of each rider later in this prospectus for details on the riders and the amounts upon which the charges are based. The additional charge is made on each contract anniversary before annuity payments begin. Not all optional benefits are currently available or are available in all states. We may discontinue any of the optional benefits on new contracts at any time.

In those states where permitted, charge is 0.55% for contracts applied for on or after May 15, 2009. For other contracts, charge is 0.20%. See your representative for more information.
 
Transfer Fee
 
We may charge a transfer fee of $10 for each transfer of values from one or more subaccounts to other subaccounts. Only one charge is assessed for transfers out of any one subaccount, even if the transfer is to multiple subaccounts. The fee is charged pro rata against the subaccounts from which the transfer is made. We currently do not charge for your first 12 transfers each contract year. Other restrictions may apply to transfers. See “Transfers among Subaccounts” below.
 
Deduction for State Premium Tax
 
Most states do not presently charge a premium tax for these contracts. Where a tax applies, the rates now range from 0.0% to 5.0%. We will deduct from your contract value the amount of any applicable premium tax when it is incurred. Normally, that is when an annuity payout option begins.
 
Fund Expenses
 
There are deductions from, and expenses paid out of, the assets of the Funds. These are described in the Fund prospectuses. Deduction for Fund expenses continue after annuity payments begin for those amounts allocated to the Funds.
 
Description of Variable Annuity Contracts
 
Free Look
 
You may revoke the contract at any time until the end of 10 days after you receive it (or such longer period as may be required by your state law) and get a refund of the contract value as of the date of cancellation. Certain other rules may apply if this contract is issued as an IRA (such as the amount you are entitled to receive and the period of time in which you have to submit a request for a free look). For more details regarding the rules for IRA contracts, see the IRA Disclosure Statement in the back of this prospectus. In order for your request to cancel to be effective and the contract value calculated, the request must be received by us at our Administrative Office on any business day before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Requests received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, or received on any day when the New York Stock Exchange is not open will be processed as of the end of the next business day when the New York Stock Exchange is open. To revoke, you must return the contract to us within the free look period. We deem you to receive the contract and the free look period to begin five days after we mail your contract to you.

Accumulation Period
 
Purchase Payments
 
Your first purchase payment must be at least $5,000 ($2,000 for IRAs). You do not have to make any more payments after that. But you may make additional purchase payments at any time of at least $500 each ($300 for payroll deduction plans). We may limit your total purchase payments for any one life to $1,500,000. If the check for your payment is dishonored, you will be liable to us for any changes in the market value. We will attempt to recover any such amounts directly from you.
 
Accumulation Units
 
Until the annuity payout date, the contract value is measured by accumulation units. As you make each purchase payment, we credit units to the contract (see Crediting Accumulation Units). The number of units remains constant between purchase payments but their dollar value varies with the investment results of each Fund to which payments are allocated.
 
Crediting Accumulation Units
 
Your registered representative will send an order or application, together with the first purchase payment, to our administrative office for acceptance. We may enter into arrangements with certain broker-dealers whereby submission of the completed application and first purchase payment to the broker-dealer will be credited and deemed accepted by us on the date received by them. Such arrangements are at our sole discretion and approved by our Board of Directors. Before entering into such arrangements, we first must ensure that the broker-dealer has adequate compliance controls in place to prevent applications received after the cut-off time (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) from being submitted to us for issuance as if received before the cut-off time.
 
Upon acceptance, we issue a contract and we credit the first purchase payment to the contract in the form of accumulation units. If all information necessary for issuing a contract and processing the purchase payment is complete, we will credit your first purchase payment within two business days after receipt. If we do not receive everything necessary to make the application in good order within five business days, we will return the purchase payment to you immediately unless you specifically consent to having us retain the purchase payment until the necessary information is completed. After that, we will credit the purchase payment within two business days.
 
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, no contract is effective until the purchase payment is received and the contract is issued during the lifetime of the annuitant. If the annuitant dies before the contract is issued and we are not notified at our administrative office of the annuitant’s death, our sole obligation is to return the contract value to you or your estate upon notice and proof of the death of the annuitant.
 
You must send any additional purchase payments directly to our administrative office. They will then be applied to your contract according to your allocation instructions to provide that number of accumulation units (for each subaccount) determined by dividing the amount of the purchase payment by the unit value next computed after we receive the payment at our Administrative office. Except as detailed in the paragraph above, payments received after 4 p.m. (Eastern time) on any process day (earlier on those days the New York Stock Exchange closes early) will be priced at the next calculated unit value.
 
Allocation of Purchase Payments
 
You may allocate your contract values among up to 18 variable subaccounts of VAN and to the Fixed Accumulation Account. The amount you allocate to any Fund or the Fixed Accumulation Account must equal a whole percent. You may change your allocation of future purchase payments at any time by sending written notice to our administrative office. Changes in allocation of purchase payments are not deemed effective until received by us at our administrative office. You may be subject to restrictions on allocations if you purchase certain optional riders.

Please see “Investment Restrictions for Certain Optional Riders” and “Optional Asset Allocation Models” for more information.
 
Accumulation Unit Value and Accumulation Value
 
We set the original accumulation unit value of each subaccount of VAN for these contracts at the beginning of the first valuation period for each such subaccount. We determine the unit value for any later valuation period by multiplying the unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period by the net investment factor (described below) for such later valuation period. We determine a contract’s value by multiplying the total number of units (for each subaccount) credited to the contract by the unit value (for such subaccount) for the current valuation period and adding to that any amount in the Fixed Accumulation Account or in the Dollar Cost Averaging Account.
 
Net Investment Factor
 
The net investment factor measures the investment results of each subaccount. The investment performance and expenses of each Fund, and the deduction of contract charges, affect daily changes in the subaccounts’ accumulation unit values. The net investment factor for each subaccount for any valuation period is determined by dividing (a) by (b), then subtracting (c) from the result, where:
 
(a)  is:
 
  (1)  the net asset value of the corresponding Fund share at the end of a valuation period, plus
 
  (2)  the per share amount of any dividends or other distributions declared for that Fund if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the valuation period, plus or minus
 
  (3)  a per share charge or credit for any taxes paid or reserved for the maintenance or operation of that subaccount; (No federal income taxes apply under present law.)
 
(b)  is the net asset value of the corresponding Fund share at the end of the preceding valuation period; and
 
(c)  is the deduction for administrative and sales expenses and risk undertakings.
 
Surrender and Withdrawal
 
Before annuity payments begin you may surrender (totally withdraw the value of) your contract, or withdraw part of the contract value (at least $300). You must make all surrender or withdrawal requests by providing Notice to us. The surrender charge may then apply. That charge is taken from the total amount withdrawn.
 
Unless you specify otherwise, the withdrawal will be made pro-rata from your values in each Fund. The amount you may withdraw is the contract value less any surrender charge. In the case of a surrender, we subtract any contract administration charge. We will pay you within seven days after we receive your request. However, we may defer payment of Fixed Accumulation Account values as described below. Surrenders and withdrawals are limited or not permitted in connection with certain retirement plans. For tax consequences of a surrender or withdrawal, see “Federal Tax Status” below.
 
If you request a surrender or withdrawal which includes contract values derived from purchase payments that have not yet cleared the banking system, we may delay mailing the portion relating to such payments until your check has cleared. We require the return of the contract or the execution of an affidavit indicating the contract has been lost in the case of a surrender.

Form 6725-NSLAC


23


Table of Contents

Your right to withdraw may be suspended or the date of payment postponed:
 
(1)  for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings) or during which the Securities and Exchange Commission has restricted trading on the Exchange;
 
(2)  for any period during which an emergency, as determined by the Commission, exists as a result of which disposal of securities held in a Fund is not reasonably practical, or it is not reasonably practical to determine the value of a Fund’s net assets; or
 
(3)  such other periods as the Commission may order to protect security holders.
 
Transfers among Subaccounts
 
You may transfer contract values from one or more Funds to one or more other Funds. You may make transfers at any time before annuity payments begin. The amount of any transfer must be at least $300 (or the entire value of the contract’s interest in a Fund, if less). Not more than 20% of a contract’s Guaranteed Account value (or $1,000, if greater) as of the beginning of a contract year may be transferred to variable Funds during that contract year.
 
We may limit the number, frequency, method or amount of transfers. We may limit transfers from any Fund on any one day to 1% of the previous day’s total net assets of that Fund if we or the Fund in our discretion, believe that the Fund might otherwise be damaged. In determining which requests to honor, scheduled transfers (under a DCA program) will be made first, followed by mailed written requests in the order postmarked and, lastly, telephone, facsimile and other electronic requests in the order received. This policy will be applied uniformly without exception. We will notify you if your requested transfer is not made. Current SEC rules preclude us from processing at a later date those requests that were not honored. Accordingly, you would need to submit a new transfer request in order to make a transfer that was not honored because of these limitations.
 
Certain third parties may offer you asset allocation or timing services for your contract. We will honor transfer requests from these third parties only if you give us a written authorization to do so. Fees you pay for such asset allocation or timing services are in addition to any contract charges. We do not endorse, approve or recommend these services.
 
We discourage excessive trading and market timing through your contract. Excessive trading into and out of the portfolios can disrupt portfolio investment strategies and increase the portfolios’ operating expenses. In addition, excessive trading lowers overall portfolio performance for long term investors, prevents portfolio manager from taking timely advantage of investment opportunities, and creates liquidity risks for the portfolios. The contract and the underlying portfolios are not designed to accommodate excessive trading practices. We and the portfolios reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to restrict or reject purchase and exchange orders which we believe represent excessive or disruptive trading. We will contact you the next business day by telephone to inform you that your requested transaction has been rejected. If we are unable to contact you by telephone, we will contact you or your representative in writing to inform you of the rejected transaction. Listed below are some, but not necessarily all the steps we may take to discourage excessive trading and market timing.
 
The first time the contract owner is determined to have traded excessively, we will notify the contract owner in writing that his or her contract will be monitored for additional transactions in excess of the established limits and such subsequent activity may result in suspension of electronic transfer privileges and/or suspension of all transfer privileges. The established limits are determined internally as a protection against frequent trading and are not disclosed in the prospectus or other otherwise made public.
 
Upon the second instance of excessive trading, the contract owner will be advised that his or her electronic transfer privileges have been suspended and that all transfer requests must be submitted in writing and delivered via U.S. mail.

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

Upon the third instance of excessive trading, transfers of contract values will only be permitted into the money market portfolio and all other transfer privileges will be suspended. The contract owner will be informed in writing of the denial of future transfer privileges. If a contract owner decides to surrender the contract following suspension of transfer privileges, the contract owner will incur the resulting surrender charge, if any.
 
We may, in our sole discretion take any contract off of the list of monitored contracts, or restore suspended transfer privileges if we determine that the transactions were inadvertent or were not done with the intent to market time. Otherwise, all of our policies related to excessive trading and market timing as described in this Section will be applied to all contract owners uniformly and without exception. Other trading activities may be detrimental to the portfolios. Therefore, we may place a contract on the list of monitored contracts despite the fact the contract owner has not exceeded the established transfer limits. You may be deemed to have traded excessively, even if you have not exceeded the number of free transfers permitted by your contract.
 
Some of the factors we may consider when determining whether or not to place a contract on the list of monitored contracts may include, but not be limited to:
 
•  The number of transfers made in a defined period;
 
•  The dollar amount of the transfer;
 
•  The total assets of the portfolios involved in the transfer;
 
•  The investment objectives of the particular portfolios involved in your transfers; and/or
 
•  Whether the transfer appears to be a part of a pattern of transfers to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations or market inefficiencies.
 
Contract owners who have not engaged in market timing or excessive trading may also be prevented from transferring contract values if we, or the portfolios, believe that an intermediary associated with the contract owner’s account has otherwise been involved in market timing or excessive trading on behalf of other contract owners. Likewise, contract owners who have not engaged in intentional market timing or engaged in intentional disruptive or excessive trading may have their transfers rejected or their transfer privileges suspended if their trading activity generates an exception report in our transfer monitoring systems.
 
Contract owners seeking to engage in excessive trading practices may deploy a variety of strategies to avoid detection, and there is no guarantee that we or the portfolios will be able to identify such contract owners or curtail their trading practices. Our ability and the ability of the portfolios to detect and curtail excessive trading practices may also be limited by operational systems and technology limitations. In addition, because the portfolios receive orders from omnibus accounts, which is common among funds offering portfolios to insurance companies offering variable products, the portfolios may not be able to detect an individual’s excessive trading practices through these omnibus accounts. If we are unable to detect those contract owners engaging in market timing and/or excessive trading, the previously mentioned harms associated with excessive trading (lower portfolio performance, liquidity risks, increased portfolio expenses, etc.) may occur.
 
We may alter or amend this policy as required to comply with state or federal regulations and such regulations may impose stricter standards than currently adopted by us or the portfolios.
 
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are required to enter into agreements with the Funds which require us to provide the Funds, upon their request, with certain information including taxpayer identification numbers of contract owners and the amounts and dates of any purchase, redemption, transfer or exchange requests by contract owners. We are also required to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchange requests into the Funds by a contract owner upon instruction from the Funds.

Effective Time for Purchase, Transfer or Redemption Orders
 
Orders to purchase, redeem or transfer accumulation units received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, typically 4 p.m. (Eastern time) on any process day (earlier on those days when the New York Stock Exchange closes early) will not become effective until the next business day.
 
However, we may enter into arrangements with certain broker-dealers whereby orders to purchase accumulation units (either through an initial purchase or subsequent purchase payments to an existing contract) will be credited and deemed accepted by us on the date received by them. Such arrangements are at our sole discretion and approved by our Board of Directors. Before entering into such arrangements, we first must ensure that the broker-dealer has adequate compliance controls in place to prevent orders to purchase units received after the cut-off time (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) from being credited as if received before the cut-off time
 
Electronic Access
 
If you give us authorization, your contract and unit values and interest rates can be checked by telephoning our administrative office at 1-877-446-6020 or by accessing our web site at any time at www.nslac.com. You may also request transfers and change allocations on our web site. You may only make one electronic, facsimile or telephone (collectively, “electronic”) transfer request per day.
 
We will honor pre-authorized electronic transfer instructions from anyone who provides the personal identifying information requested. We will not honor electronic transfer requests after we receive notice of your death. For added security, we send the contract owner a written confirmation of all electronic transfers on the next business day. However, if we cannot complete a transfer as requested, our customer service representative will contact the owner in writing sent within 48 hours of the electronic request. You may think that you have limited this access to yourself, or to yourself and your representative. However, anyone giving us the necessary identifying information can use electronic access once you authorize it.
 
Please note that telephone and/or other means of electronic communication may not always be available. Any telephone or electronic device, whether it is yours, your service provider’s, your agent’s or ours can experience inaccessibility, power outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These periods of inaccessibility may delay or prevent our receipt and processing of your requests. Although we have taken precautions and have emergency contingency plans to limit these problems, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you experience such problems, you should make your transfer request by writing to our administrative office.
 
We reserve the right to limit or restrict electronic access in any form at any time as to any contract owner.
 
Scheduled Transfers (Dollar Cost Averaging)
 
We administer a Dollar Cost Averaging (“DCA”) program enabling you to preauthorize automatic monthly or quarterly transfers of a specified dollar amount from the Fixed Accumulation Account or the Funds to any of the other subaccounts. Each transfer under the DCA program must be at least $300 and at least 12 transfers must be scheduled, although we may permit fewer under some special DCA programs. The DCA program is only available to contracts having a total accumulation value of at least $3,600. No transfer fees will be incurred for DCA transfers and they do not count against the 12 free transfers allowed each contract year. A DCA program may be made with transfers from Funds or the Money Market Portfolio to any other Funds at any time during the contract.
 
A DCA program with transfers from the Fixed Accumulation Account to any other Funds may be made if the DCA program is established at the time the contract is issued, and the DCA program is scheduled to begin within 6 months of the time you make purchase payments from which DCA transfers will be made. A DCA program from the Fixed Accumulation Account may not exceed 2 years.

Form 6725-NSLAC


26


Table of Contents

 
DCA generally has the effect of reducing the risk of purchasing at the top of a market cycle by reducing the average cost of indirectly purchasing Fund shares through the subaccounts to less than the average price of the shares on the same purchase dates. DCA transfers from the Fixed Accumulation Account or from a Fund with a stabilized net asset value, such as the Money Market Portfolio, will generally reduce the average total cost of indirectly purchasing Fund shares because greater numbers of shares will be purchased when the share prices are lower than when prices are higher. However, DCA does not assure you of a profit, nor does it protect against losses in a declining market. In addition, in a rising market, DCA will product a lower rate of return than will a single up-front investment.
 
The DCA program may be discontinued at any time by you as long as we receive notice of the cancellation at least 7 business days before the next scheduled transfers. We may discontinue providing contract owners with the DCA program at any time.
 
Enhanced DCA Account
 
We currently offer the Enhanced DCA program for initial purchase payments (or additional purchase payments of $3,600 or greater) which are allocated to the enhanced DCA account that provides a fixed interest rate that is higher than the guaranteed minimum interest rate for the Fixed Accumulation Account. The Enhanced DCA account is a subset of the Fixed Accumulation Account but offers a higher interest rate than offered with the Fixed Accumulation Account. The Enhanced DCA Program requires the purchase payment be fully transferred from the account within specified periods of time. Each DCA transfer must be at least $300. The Enhanced DCA program can be discontinued at any time by you as long as we receive notice of the cancellation at least 7 business days before the next scheduled transfer. Terminating this program will result in all remaining funds transferred to the subaccounts of your choice or to the Fixed Accumulation Account. We may decide to discontinue the Enhanced DCA Program at any time.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing
 
You may have us automatically transfer amounts on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis to maintain a specified percentage (whole percentages only) of contract value in each of two or more designated Funds. The purpose of a portfolio rebalancing strategy is to maintain, over time, your desired allocation percentage in the designated Funds having differing investment performance. Portfolio rebalancing will not necessarily enhance future performance or protect against future losses.
 
The transfer charge does not apply to portfolio rebalancing transactions. These transactions do not count against the 12 free transfers you are allowed each contract year. You may not have portfolio rebalancing for any Funds that are part of a DCA program.
 
National Security Employee Discount
 
We and our affiliated companies offer a discount on the purchase of contracts by any of our employees, directors or retirees, or their spouse or the surviving spouse of a deceased retiree, their minor children, or any of their children ages 18 to 21 who is either (i) living in the purchaser’s household or (ii) a full-time college student being supported by the purchaser, or any of the purchaser’s minor grandchildren under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. This discount counts as additional income under the contract. The amount of the discount equals 3.0% of all purchase payments made in the first contract year and 5.2% of purchase payments made in the second through sixth contract years. We grant the discount to purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account at the time the eligible person makes each payment.

Death Benefit
 
Basic Death Benefit
 
If the annuitant dies before the annuity payments begin, your contract provides for a death benefit. The death benefit is used to calculate the death benefit adjustment which affects the amount of proceeds received by the beneficiary. The death benefit may be higher based upon one or more riders, which are described below, that you have elected to add to your contract.
 
The death benefit is the greatest of: (i) the total contract value; (ii) net purchase payments less pro-rata withdrawals; or (iii) the stepped-up death benefit amount if the contract has been in effect for at least 6 years, unless one of the riders added to your contract provides for a higher death benefit. The death benefit is used to calculate the death benefit adjustment. The death benefit adjustment is equal to the excess, if any, of the death benefit over the contract value on the applicable date. The amount equal to the death benefit adjustment is added to the contract in the Money Market Portfolio. If the contract value is greater than the death benefit on the effective date of the death benefit adjustment, then there is no death benefit adjustment.
 
Upon receipt of proof of the annuitant’s death and satisfactory instruction from the beneficiary for the disposition of the contract, we will pay or apply as directed by the designated beneficiary(ies) an amount equal to the contract value which includes the death benefit adjustment, if any, to, or for the benefit of, the designated beneficiary(ies).
 
Any change in the contract value after the effective date of the death benefit adjustment, and before we distribute the contract proceeds, will affect the amount to be paid to the beneficiary. As such, the actual amount paid upon disposition of the contract may be more or less than the highest amount provided under your contract or optional riders.
 
In those states where permitted, for contracts applied for on or after May 15, 2008 and for contracts applied for between January 1, 2001 and May 15, 2008 where the contract owner accepted a one-time offer from us, the death benefit adjustment is calculated as of the earlier of: (i) the date we are in receipt of proof of the annuitant’s death; or (ii) 90 days from the date of the annuitant’s death. For purposes of this section, “applied for” means the date when the application for the annuity is signed or the electronic order is submitted to us. For all other contracts, the death benefit adjustment is calculated as of the date of death.
 
As an example of the death benefit adjustment calculation, if the contract value on date of death benefit adjustment calculation is $85,000 and the death benefit is $100,000, then the death benefit adjustment is $15,000 ($100,000 death benefit — $85,000 contract value). $15,000 is added to the Money Market Portfolio until satisfactory instructions are received from the beneficiary as to settlement of the contract. If the contract value is $60,000 when we receive satisfactory instructions, then the beneficiary will receive $75,000 ($15,000 + $60,000). If the contract value is $120,000 when we receive satisfactory instructions, then the beneficiary will receive $135,000 ($15,000 + $120,000).
 
“Net purchase payments” means your total purchase payments less an amount for any applicable premium tax or similar state or local tax. “Pro rata withdrawals” mean an adjustment for any amounts you have withdrawn from the contract based on the percentage reduction to the total contract value which resulted from the withdrawal.
 
We may require any designated beneficiary have an insurable interest in the life of the annuitant. The contract proceeds will be paid to the beneficiary in a single sum unless you or the beneficiary(ies) elect settlement under one or more settlement options. If there are multiple beneficiaries and the owner has not selected a settlement option, all the beneficiaries must agree on a settlement option or the payout value will be paid in lump sums to all of them proportionally.

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

Unless otherwise designated by the contract owner before the date of annuitant’s death, the beneficiary may elect one of the following settlement options:
 
(1)  Five Year Continuance — Beneficiary may elect to become owner of the annuity and must liquidate the annuity within five years from the date of the annuitant’s death. If the annuitant dies before the end of the surrender charge period and the Beneficiary continues the contract, we will charge the applicable surrender charge on any partial withdrawals the beneficiary takes while the contract is in the surrender charge period.
 
(2)  Beneficiary Stretch — Beneficiary may elect to become owner of the annuity and may continue the annuity for as long as the beneficiary takes a required minimum distribution each year beginning the first year after the year in which the annuitant died. This option must be elected within twelve months from the date of the annuitant’s death.
 
(3)  Immediate Annuitization — Beneficiary may elect to annuitize the annuity but must do so within twelve months from the date of the annuitant’s death.
 
(4)  Lump Sum Distribution — Beneficiary may elect a lump sum distribution in which a surrender charge will not apply.
 
If the sole, primary beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the owner and annuitant and there is either no surviving owner or the surviving spouse is also the sole surviving owner, the spouse may continue the contract as the owner and annuitant, or choose one of the settlement options listed above.
 
For the 6-year period beginning on the sixth contract anniversary, the stepped-up death benefit will be the greater of (i) the total contract value as of the sixth anniversary or (ii) net purchase payments less pro-rata withdrawals made on or before the sixth anniversary. At the beginning of each later 6-year period (until the annuitant attains age 90), the stepped-up death benefit will be the greater of (i) the total contract value on that date or (ii) the death benefit as of the last day of the preceding 6-year period adjusted for any purchase payments or withdrawals. The stepped-up death benefit amount is increased by purchase payments and decreased by pro rata withdrawals made during each 6-year period after the sixth anniversary.

In those states where permitted, we may offer an optional annual stepped-up death benefit at the time the contract is issued. With that option, the death benefit on the first contract anniversary will be the greater of (a) the contract value then or (b) net purchase payments less pro-rata withdrawals made on or before that date. On each contract anniversary after that (until the annuitant attains age 86), the death benefit will be reset to the greater of (a) the contract value on that anniversary date or (b) the death benefit as of the last preceding anniversary adjusted for any purchase payments or withdrawals. The stepped-up death benefit amount is increased by purchase payments and decreased by pro-rata withdrawals made during the period between contract anniversaries. In those states where permitted, for contracts applied for on or after May 15, 2009, there is an additional annual charge of 0.25% of the optional death benefit amount. The charge for other contracts is 0.10%. You cannot purchase the annual stepped-up death benefit once the annuitant is 76 years old.
 
GMDBR80 Plus/GMDBR85 Plus.
 
In those states where permitted, we may offer the GMDBR80 Plus or GMDBR85 Plus at the time the contract is issued. You cannot purchase either of these riders once the annuitant is 76 years old. Once the 5% GMDBR80 Plus or 5% GMDBR85 Plus described below is available in a state, you cannot purchase the GMDBR80 Plus or the GMDBR85 Plus.

With the GMDBR80 Plus and the GMDBR85 Plus, the death benefit is the greater of (a) the contract value as of the effective date of the death benefit adjustment or (b) the GMDB amount. The initial GMDB amount is total net purchase payments made when you purchase the contract and within the first three months after the contract is issued. The GMDB amount is adjusted for withdrawals from the contract as described below and is increased by (i) additional purchase payments and (ii) an increase for each valuation period, until the annuitant attains age 80 (or age 85 for GMDBR85 Plus), at an effective annual rate of 6% for values in variable portfolios (other than the Money Market Portfolio) or in one of the Asset Allocation Models. Values in the Money Market Portfolio or the Fixed Accumulation Account which are not in one of the Asset Allocation Models will accumulate at the lesser of 6% or the rate being credited to the Money Market Portfolio or the Fixed Accumulation Account on those days in which the values are so allocated. During the free look period, a different rate may apply in certain states. The total death benefit amount with GMDBR80 Plus shall not exceed two times your total net purchase payments, adjusted for withdrawals. There is no maximum benefit amount for the GMDBR85 Plus.
 
Any withdrawals in a contract year equal to or less than 6% of the GMDB amount as of the beginning of that year will reduce the GMDB amount and the maximum death benefit amount by the amount of such withdrawals. Any withdrawals in a contract year in excess of 6% of the GMDB amount as of the beginning of that year will reduce the GMDB and maximum death benefit amounts pro rata. In other words, under the pro rata adjustment, the guaranteed minimum death benefit amount and the maximum death benefit amount will both be reduced by the same percentage that the contract value was reduced because of the withdrawal in excess of 6%. There is an additional annual charge for this option of 0.25% of the GMDBR80 Plus amount, or 0.45% for the GMDBR85 Plus amount.
 
The only differences between the GMDBR80 Plus and GMDBR85 Plus are that the GMDBR85 Plus accumulation period goes to 85 instead of 80, the cost is 0.45% instead of 0.25% and there is no maximum benefit for the GMDBR85 Plus.
 
In those states where permitted, we may offer the 5% GMDBR80 Plus or 5% GMDBR85 Plus at the time the contract is issued. The 5% GMDBR80 Plus and 5% GMDBR85 Plus are identical to the GMDBR80 Plus and GMDBR85 Plus, respectively, except that the effective annual rate is 5%, not 6%, and you may take withdrawals up to 5% of the GMDB amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis, rather than 6%. The charge for the 5% GMDBR80 Plus is 0.45% of the 5% GMDBR80 Plus amount. The charge for the 5% GMDBR85 Plus is 0.70% of the 5% GMDBR Plus amount. If the 5% GMDBR80 Plus or the 5% GMDBR85 Plus is available in a state, you cannot purchase the GMDBR80 Plus or GMDBR85 Plus.
 
Annual Reset Death Benefit Rider.
 
The following describes the optional Annual Reset Death Benefit riders (“ARDBR”) we may offer. Not all of the riders may be available in all states, and not all riders may be currently available for issue. You may only have one of the ARDBR riders on your contract. You may purchase an ARDBR at the time your contract is issued. The ARDBR riders we have offered in the past or may offer are referred to as the “ARDBR” and the “ARDBR (2009).” Generally, the ARDBR riders provide a death benefit equal to the greater of the “earnings base” or the “step-up base” as described below. The ARDBR riders allow you to reset the earnings base each contract year.
 
ARDBR (2009)
 
In those states where permitted, we may offer the ARDBR (2009) at the time the contract is issued. This rider is available only when purchased in conjunction with the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider described later in this prospectus. You cannot purchase the ARDBR (2009) before the annuitant is 45 years old or once the annuitant is 76 years old. With this optional rider, the death benefit is the greater of (a) the contract value as of the effective date of the death benefit adjustment or (b) the GMDB amount. The GMDB amount with the ARDBR (2009) is the greater of the (a) “earnings base” or (b) “step-up base.”

Earnings Base.  The initial earnings base is equal to total net purchase payments made when you purchase the contract and within the first three months after the contract is issued. The earnings base is adjusted for withdrawals and is increased by (i) additional purchase payments and (ii) an increase for each valuation period, until the first contract anniversary after the annuitant’s 85th birthday, at an annual effective rate equal to the guaranteed earnings rate for values in variable portfolios or in one of the Asset Allocation Models. However, contract values allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account will accumulate at the lesser of the guaranteed earnings rate or the rate of return being earned in that account. The guaranteed earnings rate for ARDBR (2009) is 5%.
 
The earnings base is decreased by withdrawals. Beginning 30 days after the rider is issued, any withdrawals you take during a contract year less than or equal to the ARDBR withdrawal amount will reduce the earnings base by the amount of such withdrawals, in other words dollar for dollar. The ARDBR withdrawal amount is determined by multiplying the ARDBR withdrawal percentage by the earnings base as of the beginning of the contract year. The ARDBR withdrawal percentage for ARDBR (2009) is 5%. For example, if the earnings base as of the beginning of the contract year is $100,000, withdrawals of $5,000 or less in that contract year will reduce the earnings base dollar for dollar. Beginning with the contract anniversary after the annuitant reaches age 85, withdrawals you make during a contract year equal to or less than ARDBR withdrawal amount will not reduce the earnings base.
 
If you take withdrawals before the end of the year, there is a risk that the amount of your earnings base at the beginning of the next contract year will be less than the earnings base at the beginning of the current contract year, which would then reduce the amount that you can withdraw on a dollar for dollar basis in the next contract year. However, if you set up a systematic withdrawal program on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis, we will adjust the earnings base at the beginning of the next contract year so that it equals the earnings base at the beginning of the current contract year as long as (a) you have not made any withdrawals before the earlier of (i) 31 days after the rider was issued, or (ii) the end of the first such periodic payment period, and (b) you have no amounts allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account.
 
Any withdrawals you take in the first 30 days after the rider is issued and any withdrawals in excess of the ARDBR withdrawal amount will reduce the earnings base pro rata. Under a pro rata reduction, the earnings base will be reduced by the same percentage the withdrawal in excess of the ARDBR withdrawal amount reduces your contract value. If your contract value is lower than your earnings base, a pro rata reduction will reduce your earnings base by a greater amount than a dollar for dollar reduction would. For example, assume you have already withdrawn your ARDBR withdrawal amount. If your contract value is $100,000, your earnings base is $110,000 and you withdraw another $1,000, your earnings base will be reduced to $108,900, i.e. $110,000 – ([$1,000/$100,000] x $110,000). If your contract value is higher than your earnings base, a pro rata reduction will reduce your earnings base less than a dollar for dollar reduction would. For example, assume you have already withdrawn your ARDBR withdrawal amount. If your contract value is $110,000, your earnings base is $100,000 and you withdraw another $1,000, your earnings base will be reduced to $99,090, i.e. $100,000 − ([$1,000/$110,000] x $100,000).
 
The earnings base shall not exceed 15 times your total net purchase payments, minus amounts for any withdrawals from your contract. This means that, unless the step-up base is higher, the total death benefit amount with this rider will not exceed 15 times your total net purchase payments. Any withdrawals you take during a contract year less than or equal to the ARDBR withdrawal amount will reduce the maximum earnings base by the amount of such withdrawals, in other words dollar for dollar. Any withdrawals in excess of the ARDBR withdrawal amount will reduce the maximum earnings base pro rata.
 
Step-Up Base.  At contract issue, the step-up base equals net purchase payments. On each contract anniversary, the step-up base will increase, until the anniversary following the annuitant’s 85th birthday, to the contract value if greater than the prior step-up base. The step-up base is increased by the amount of each subsequent net purchase payment at the time of payment. All withdrawals are taken from the step-up base on a pro rata basis. That means the step-up base will be reduced by the same percentage the withdrawal reduces your contract value.

Resets.  On any contract anniversary, you may elect to reset the ARDBR (2009) by resetting the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider described later in this prospectus. On reset, the ARDBR (2009) earnings base and the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider guaranteed earnings income base will both be reset to the then-current contract value. Therefore, if you reset to a higher base, your death benefit under the ARDBR (2009) and income benefit under the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider will increase. If you reset, the ARDBR maximum earnings base will be reset to 15 times the then-current contract value. Because you may only reset the ARDBR (2009) by resetting the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) and because you may decline an increase in charge for the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) by refusing such reset, please note that if you decline a charge increase with the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider by refusing the reset of the guaranteed earnings income base, you will not be able to reset the ARDBR (2009).
 
Charge.  There is an additional annual charge for the ARDBR (2009) of 0.85% of your death benefit amount. We may increase the charge for this rider on any reset. The new charge will be no higher than the then current charge for new issues of the ARDBR (2009), which we guarantee will not exceed 1.40%. The ARDBR (2009) is available only when purchased in conjunction with the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009).
 
Termination.  Since you may only have the ARDBR (2009) if you have the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, any termination of the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider will automatically terminate the ARDBR (2009) as well. If you have purchased the ARDBR (2009) and violate the investment restrictions of the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009), both the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider and the ARDBR (2009) will be cancelled.
 
You may cancel the ARDBR (2009) as of any contract anniversary by providing Notice to us prior to or within 15 days of that anniversary. If you choose to terminate the rider by providing Notice to us prior to the contract anniversary, a full annual rider charge will be assessed without being prorated to the date of termination.
 
ARDBR
 
If the ARDBR (2009) is not available, in those states where permitted, we may offer the ARDBR at the time the contract is issued. This rider is available only when purchased in conjunction with the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset described later in this prospectus. You cannot purchase the ARDBR after the annuitant is age 75. With this optional rider, the death benefit is the greater of (a) the contract value as of the effective date of the death benefit adjustment, or (b) the GMDB amount. The GMDB amount with the ARDBR is the greater of the (i) “earnings base” or (ii) “step-up base”.
 
Earnings Base.  The initial earnings base is equal to total net purchase payments made when you purchase the contract and within the first three months after the contract is issued. The earnings base is adjusted for withdrawals and is increased by (i) additional net purchase payments and (ii) an increase for each valuation period, until the annuitant reaches age 85, at an annual effective rate of 6% for values in variable portfolios (other than the Money Market Portfolio) or in one of the Asset Allocation Models. However, contract values allocated in the Money Market Portfolio or the Fixed Accumulation Account which are not in one of the Asset Allocation Models will earn the rate of return being earned in those accounts. The earnings base is decreased by withdrawals. Any withdrawals during a contract year less than or equal to 6% of the earnings base as of the beginning of the contract year will reduce the earnings base by the amount of such withdrawals, in other words dollar for dollar. Any withdrawals in excess of 6% of the earnings base at the beginning of the contract year will reduce the earnings base pro rata. Under a pro rata reduction, the earnings base will decrease by the same percentage reduction of the contract value that resulted from the withdrawal in excess of 6%.
 
Step-Up Base.  At contract issue, the step-up base equals net purchase payments less pro rata withdrawals. Each contract anniversary, the step-up base will increase, until the anniversary following the annuitant’s 85th birthday, to the contract value if greater than the prior step-up base. The step-up base is increased by the amount of each

subsequent net purchase payment at the time of payment. All withdrawals are taken from the step-up base on a pro rata basis.
 
Resets.  On any contract anniversary, you may elect to reset the ARDBR by resetting the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset. On reset, the ARDBR earnings base and the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset’s guaranteed earnings income base will both equal the then-current contract value. Therefore, if you reset to a higher base, your death benefit under the ARDBR and income benefit under the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset will increase.
 
Charge.  There is an additional annual charge for the ARDBR of 0.60% of your death benefit amount.
 
Termination.  You may cancel the ARDBR as of any contract anniversary by providing Notice to us prior to or within 15 days of that anniversary. If you choose to terminate the rider by providing Notice to us prior to the contract anniversary, a full annual rider charge will be assessed without being prorated to the date of termination.
 
Guaranteed Enhancement Benefit.
 
In those states where permitted, we may offer Guaranteed Enhancement Benefit (“GEB”) riders at the time the contract is issued. This benefit will never exceed $1,000,000. With the GEB option, the following amount will be added to any other amount payable upon the annuitant’s death:
 
•  25% of the lesser of (a) two times net purchase payments less pro rata withdrawals or (b) the total contract value on the date of death minus net purchase payments less pro rata withdrawals; or
 
•  40% of the lesser of (a) two and a half times net purchase payments less pro rata withdrawals, or (b) the total contract value on the date of death minus net purchase payments less pro rata withdrawals. This is the GEB “Plus.”
 
For the regular GEB option, there is an additional annual charge of 0.15% of the contract value (or 0.30% if the annuitant is age 71 to 75 when your contract is issued). If you choose the GEB “Plus,” the charge is 0.30% of the contract value (or 0.60% for issue ages 71 to 75). After the contract has been in effect for 6 months, any purchase payments made within 6 months before the date of death will not be included for calculating the amount of this benefit. You may choose GEB in addition to one of the other death benefit options. If you choose GEB, you cannot later discontinue it. That means even if the GEB will be of no further benefit to you, you will continue to be charged for it.

Annuity payments begin on the annuity payout date. You may select this date when the contract is issued. It must be at least 30 days after the contract date. You may change it from time to time so long as it is the first day of any month at least 30 days after the date of such change. The contract restricts the annuity payout date to not later than the first of the month following the annuitant’s 90th birthday. This restriction may be modified by applicable state law or we may agree to waive it.

Table of Contents

The contracts include our guarantee that we will pay annuity payments for the lifetime of the annuitant (and any joint annuitant) in accordance with the contract’s annuity rates, no matter how long you live.
 
Once annuity payments begin, you may not surrender the contract for cash except that, upon the death of the annuitant, the beneficiary may surrender the contract for the commuted value of any remaining period-certain payments.
 
Annuity Options
 
You may elect one or more of the following annuity options. You may change the election anytime before the annuity payout date. The variable part of the contract value will be used to provide a variable annuity and the fixed portion of the contract will be used to provide a fixed annuity, unless you elect otherwise.
 
     
Option 1(a):
  Life Annuity with installment payments for the lifetime of the annuitant. Under this annuity option, it is possible to receive only one annuity payment.
     
     
Option 1(b):
  Life Annuity with installment payments guaranteed for five years and then continuing during the remaining lifetime of the annuitant.
     
     
Option 1(c):
  Life Annuity with installment payments guaranteed for ten years and then continuing during the remaining lifetime of the annuitant.
     
     
Option 1(d):
  Installment Refund Life Annuity with payments guaranteed for a period certain and then continuing during the remaining lifetime of the annuitant. The number of period-certain payments is equal to the amount applied under this option divided by the amount of the first payment.
     
     
Option 2(a):
  Joint & Survivor Life Annuity with installment payments during the lifetime of the annuitant and then continuing during the lifetime of a contingent annuitant. Under this option, it is possible to receive only one annuity payment.
     
     
Option 2(b):
  Joint & Survivor Life Annuity with installment payments guaranteed for ten years and then continuing during the remaining lifetime of the annuitant or a contingent annuitant.
 
We may agree to other settlement options. If you choose a settlement option that involves payments for a period certain, it is possible that upon the death of the annuitant prior to the termination of the payment period, a portion of the annuitized contract value will be forfeited.
 
Unless you direct otherwise, we will apply the contract value as of the annuity payout date to provide annuity payments pro-rata from each Fund in the same proportion as the contract values immediately before the annuity payout date.
 
If no election is in effect on the annuity payout date, we will apply contract value under Option 1(c) with the beneficiary as payee for any remaining period-certain installments payable after the death of the annuitant. The variable part of the contract value will be used to provide a variable annuity and the fixed portion will provide a fixed annuity unless you elect otherwise. The Pension Reform Act of 1974 might require certain contracts to provide a Joint and Survivor Annuity. If the contingent annuitant is not related to the annuitant, Options 2(a) and 2(b) are available only if we agree.
 
Determination of Amount of the First Variable Annuity Payment
 
To determine the first variable annuity payment we apply the contract value for each Fund in accordance with the contract’s settlement option tables. We divide the account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the applicable factor in the contract’s settlement option tables. The rates in those tables depend upon the annuitant’s (and any contingent annuitant’s) age and sex and the option selected. The annuitant’s sex is not a factor in contracts issued to plans sponsored by employers subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or similar state statutes. We determine the value to be applied at the end of a valuation period (selected by us and uniformly applied) not more than 10 valuation periods before the annuity payout date.

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

If the amount that would be applied under an option is less than $5,000 ($2,000 in New York), we will pay the contract value to the annuitant in a single sum. If the first periodic payment under any option would be less than $25 ($20 in New York), we may change the frequency of payments so that the first payment is at least $25 ($20 in New York).
 
Annuity Units and Variable Payments
 
After your first annuity payment, later variable annuity payments will vary to reflect the investment performance of your Funds. The amount of each payment depends on the number of your annuity units. To determine the number of annuity units for each Fund, divide the dollar amount of the first annuity payment from each Fund by the value of that Fund’s annuity unit. This number of annuity units remains constant during the annuity payment period unless you transfer among Funds.
 
The annuity unit value for each Fund was set at $10 for the valuation period when the first variable annuity was calculated for these contracts. The annuity unit value for each later valuation period equals the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period multiplied by the net investment factor for such later valuation period and by a factor (0.999919 for a one-day valuation period) to neutralize the 3% assumed interest rate discussed below.
 
The dollar amount of each later variable annuity payment equals your constant number of annuity units for each Fund multiplied by the value of the annuity unit for the valuation period.
 
The annuity rate tables contained in the contracts are based on the 1983(a) Mortality Table Projected to 1996 under Scale G (which is a method of projecting individual annuity valuation mortality tables based on industry best practices) with compound interest at the effective rate of 3% per year. A higher interest assumption would mean a higher initial annuity payment but a more slowly rising series of subsequent annuity payments if annuity unit values were increasing (or a more rapidly falling series of subsequent annuity payments if annuity unit values were decreasing). A lower interest assumption would have the opposite effect. If the actual net investment rate were equal to the assumed interest rate, annuity payments would stay level.
 
Transfers During Annuity Payout
 
After annuity payments have been made for at least 12 months, the annuitant can, once each calendar quarter, change the Funds on which variable annuity payments are based. There is no transfer fee during annuity payout. Transfers may not be made between guaranteed and variable accounts during annuity payout. You may change the underlying Funds by providing Notice to us in writing at our Administrative Office. Upon receipt of your request, we will change that portion of the periodic variable annuity payment as you direct to reflect the investment results of different Funds. To do this, we convert the number of annuity units being changed to the number of annuity units of the Funds to which you are changing. If an annuity payment is already in process at the time we receive your request to change the Fund allocations, the change will not be reflected in your next annuity payment. It will be reflected in the payment received thereafter.
 
Optional Living Benefit Riders
 
Optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) Riders
 
This section describes the optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) riders that we may offer. Not all of the riders may be available in all states and not all riders may be currently available for issue. You may only have one of the GMIB riders on your contract. Except as described below, if you choose a GMIB rider, you cannot later discontinue it. The GMIB riders we may offer or have offered in the past are the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009), GMIB Plus with Annual Reset, GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset, GMIB Plus and GMIB.

GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009).
 
You may add the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider to your contract at the time the contract is issued. We may, at our sole option, also offer this rider to existing contracts, in which case it may be added on a contract anniversary. You may not purchase the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) before the annuitant is age 45 or once the annuitant is age 79. If the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) is available, you may not purchase any other GMIB rider.
 
The GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider guarantees minimum lifetime fixed income in monthly annuity payments. The amount of these payments is determined by applying the “guaranteed income base” to the annuity tables in the rider. The guaranteed income base is the greater of (a) your “guaranteed earnings income base,” or (b) your “step-up base.”
 
Guaranteed earnings income base.  The initial guaranteed earnings income base is equal to total net purchase payments made when you purchase the contract and within the first three months after the contract is issued. The guaranteed earnings income base is adjusted for withdrawals and is increased by (i) additional purchase payments and (ii) an increase for each valuation period, until the first contract anniversary after the annuitant’s 85th birthday, at an annual effective rate equal to the guaranteed earnings rate for values in variable portfolios or in one of the Asset Allocation Models. However, contract values allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account will accumulate at the lesser of the guaranteed earnings rate or the rate of return being earned in that account. The guaranteed earnings rate for the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) is 5%.
 
The guaranteed earnings income base is decreased by withdrawals. Beginning 30 days after the rider is issued, any withdrawals you take during a contract year less than or equal to the GMIB withdrawal amount will reduce the guaranteed earnings income base by the amount of such withdrawals, in other words dollar for dollar. The GMIB withdrawal amount is determined by multiplying the GMIB withdrawal percentage by the guaranteed earnings income base as of the beginning of the contract year. The GMIB withdrawal percentage for the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) is 5%. For example, the guaranteed earnings income base as of the beginning of the contract year is $100,000, withdrawals of $5,000 or less in that contract year will reduce the guaranteed earnings income base dollar for dollar. Beginning with the contract anniversary after the annuitant reaches age 85, withdrawals you make during a contract year equal to or less than GMIB withdrawal amount will not reduce the guaranteed earnings income base.
 
If you take withdrawals before the end of the year, there is a risk that the amount of your guaranteed earnings income base at the beginning of the next contract year will be less than the guaranteed earnings income base at the beginning of the current contract year, which would then reduce the amount that you can withdraw on a dollar for dollar basis in the next contract year. However, if you set up a systematic withdrawal program on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis, we will adjust the guaranteed earnings income base at the beginning of the next contract year so that it equals the guaranteed earnings income base at the beginning of the current contract year as long as (a) you have not made any withdrawals before the earlier of (i) 31 days after the rider was issued, or (ii) the end of the first such periodic payment period, and (b) you have no amounts allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account.
 
Any withdrawals you take in the first 30 days after the rider is issued and any withdrawals in excess of the GMIB withdrawal amount will reduce the guaranteed earnings income base pro rata. Under a pro rata reduction, the guaranteed earnings income base will be reduced by the same percentage that the withdrawal in excess of the GMIB withdrawal amount reduces your contract value. Only the portion of a withdrawal that is in excess of the GMIB withdrawal amount will reduce the guaranteed earnings income base pro rata. A pro-rata reduction may materially reduce the income available under the GMIB rider in future years.
 
As an example of how withdrawals work under the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009), assume your guaranteed earnings income base is $100,000 at the beginning of a contract year, so your GMIB withdrawal amount is $5,000 ($100,000 x .05). That means you can withdraw $5,000 dollar for dollar during that contract year. Assume your contract value is $90,000 and you take a withdrawal of $6,000. First, we process the portion of the withdrawal that

Form 6725-NSLAC


38


Table of Contents

is dollar for dollar, $5,000. Taking into account that portion of the withdrawal, your contract value is reduced to $85,000 and your guaranteed earnings income base to $95,000. Then, we process the portion of the withdrawal in excess of the GMIB withdrawal amount, $1,000. Because you have already taken your GMIB withdrawal amount, the $1,000 withdrawal will reduce the guaranteed earnings income base pro rata. Your guaranteed earnings income base is then reduced to $93,882, i.e. $95,000 −([$1,000/$85,000] x $95,000).
 
The guaranteed earnings income base shall not exceed 15 times your total net purchase payments, minus amounts for any withdrawals from your contract. This means that, unless the step-up base is higher, the guaranteed income base, which is used to determine the monthly annuity payments under this rider, will not exceed 15 times your total net purchase payments. Any withdrawals you take during a contract year less than or equal to the GMIB withdrawal amount will reduce this limit by the amount of such withdrawals, in other words dollar for dollar. Any withdrawals in excess of the GMIB withdrawal amount will reduce this limit pro rata.
 
Step-up base.  At contract issue, the step-up base equals net purchase payments. On each contract anniversary, the step-up base will increase, until the anniversary following the annuitant’s 85th birthday, to the contract value if greater than the prior step-up base. The step-up base is increased by the amount of each subsequent net purchase payment at the time of payment. All withdrawals are taken from the step-up base on a pro rata basis. That means the step-up base will be reduced by the same percentage the withdrawal reduces your contract value.
 
You may not anuitize your contract under the rider until the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider has been in effect for at least 10 years. We may refer to this time period as the “10 year annuitization waiting period.” If you choose to receive annuity payments as provided in the contract or under a single premium annuity we offer instead of receiving GMIB payments, your GMIB rider will then be of no further value to you. You may elect to receive GMIB payments within 30 days after the rider’s 10th anniversary (or 10th anniversary of the date the rider was last reset, if applicable) or within 30 days after any later anniversary before the annuitant is age 91.
 
If the amount of annuity payments under the contract or under a single premium immediate annuity we offer at the time you elect to annuitize would be greater than the amount of payments under the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, we will pay the larger amounts.
 
The guaranteed income base is used solely for the purpose of calculating GMIB payments. It does not provide a contract value or guarantee performance of any investment option. The level of lifetime income guaranteed by a GMIB rider may be less than the income that our current annuity factors would provide because (a) GMIB payments may assume a lower interest rate and (b) GMIB payments may be based on an assumption that you will live longer than the mortality assumed in our then-offered immediate annuities.
 
No Lapse.  With the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, there is a “no lapse” provision allowing annuitization if your contract value is reduced to zero before the initial 10 year annuitization waiting period ends. With this provision, if prior to the time you are eligible to annuitize using your guaranteed income base, your contract value becomes zero, you can, at your option, annuitize your contract using your then-guaranteed income base at the annuitization rates provided under the rider for your then-age. However, if during the 10 year rider period you withdraw more than amounts eligible for dollar-for-dollar treatment to the guaranteed earnings income base, you will forfeit this protection. That is to say, if during any one contract year you withdraw more than the GMIB withdrawal amount, the “no lapse” protection is not available from the point of that “excess” withdrawal forward. If the GMIB rider is reset and your contract value at time of reset is greater than the guaranteed income base, then the “no lapse” protection will be reinstated.
 
Investment Restrictions.  If you purchase the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, you must abide by investment restrictions. You must allocate any variable account portion of your purchase payments and contract value to (a) one of Asset Allocation Models 2, 3 or 4 or (b) in accordance with the Fund Category requirements described in “Investment Restrictions for Certain Optional Riders.” You may allocate all or any portion of your purchase payments and contract value to the Fixed Accumulation Account, if available. The GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider will be cancelled if you cease to comply with the requirements described in “Investment

Restrictions for Certain Optional Riders.” If the rider is so terminated, a prorated annual rider charge will be assessed.
 
Resets.  Subject to certain limitations, the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider provides you the option of resetting the guaranteed earnings income base to the then-current contract value each and every contract anniversary prior to the annuitant’s 81st birthday. If the contract value at the time of reset is higher than the guaranteed earnings income base and you reset, you may make larger withdrawals on a dollar for dollar basis from the new guaranteed earnings income base. At every eligible reset anniversary, you can reset the guaranteed earnings income base by notifying us within 30 days after the contract anniversary date in writing or other method we agree to. If you reset, the maximum guaranteed earnings income base will be reset to 15 times the then-current contract value.
 
Resetting the rider sets the guaranteed earnings income base equal to the current contract value, as opposed to a step-up, which sets the step-up base equal to the current contract value. The step-up base will increase automatically each contract anniversary if the contract value is higher than the previous step-up base, so it preserves your potential gain. The guaranteed earnings income base is not reset automatically to the current contract value. You must elect to reset it.
 
If you elect to reset the guaranteed earnings income base, a new 10 year annuitization waiting period will begin. That is, you will not be eligible to annuitize using the guaranteed income base for the ten year period following the reset. You may choose to receive annuity payments as provided in your contract during the ten year period or under a single premium, immediate annuity we may generally make available at the time, but your GMIB rider will then be of no further value to you.
 
When the optional death benefit ARDBR (2009) has also been purchased, resetting the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) also resets the ARDBR (2009) earnings base. Resetting the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) is the only way in which the ARDBR (2009) can be reset.
 
Charge.  There is an additional annual charge for the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider of 0.95% of your guaranteed income base. We may increase the charge for this rider on any reset. The new charge will be no higher than the then current charge for new issues of the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, which we guarantee will not exceed 1.50%.
 
If you have notified us that you elect to reset and we notify you of a charge increase effective upon reset, you may decline to accept an increase in the charge for the rider by revoking your request to reset. If you wish to decline an increase in charge by revoking the reset, you must notify us in writing, or in any other manner acceptable to us, within 30 days after the contract anniversary the guaranteed earnings income base is reset. If you elect to reset the guaranteed earnings income base in the future, however, your rate will be increased upon reset to the then-current charge for the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider.
 
Please note that if you have purchased the ARDBR (2009) and you decline a charge increase with the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider by refusing a reset of the guaranteed earnings income base, you will not be able to reset the ARDBR (2009).
 
The annual charge for the rider will continue even if the underlying Funds’ investment performance surpasses the GMIB guarantees. The charge for the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider ends when you begin to receive annuity or GMIB payments, or the rider has expired at the first contract anniversary after the annuitant’s 90th birthday.
 
You may withdraw the GMIB withdrawal amount under the rider without a surrender charge even if that amount exceeds 10% of your contract value. We reserve the right to charge a withdrawal fee of up to the lesser of 2% of the amount withdrawn or $15 per withdrawal for withdrawals in excess of 14 in a contract year. We are not currently charging this fee. If charged, this fee would be assessed against your contract value and will not affect the amount you receive under this rider. In addition, the withdrawal fee will not be considered a withdrawal under the rider.

Since you may only purchase the ARDBR (2009) if you purchase the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider, any termination of the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider will automatically terminate the ARDBR (2009) as well. If you have purchased the ARDBR (2009) and subsequently violate the investment restrictions of the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009), both the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider and the ARDBR (2009) will be cancelled.
 
Required Minimum Distributions.  Tax qualified retirement plans and Individual Retirement Annuities have minimum distribution requirements. Your required minimum distribution per year may exceed your GMIB withdrawal amount which would result in a pro rata reduction in the guaranteed earnings income base. See “Federal Tax Status” and “Appendix A — IRA Disclosure Statement.” You could be subject to tax penalties if you do not begin taking withdrawals until after your required minimum distribution beginning date. Please consult your tax advisor to determine if the GMIB Plus with Annual Rest (2009) rider is appropriate for you.
 
Other Versions.
 
This section describes the other optional GMIB riders that we currently offer or have been offered in the past. Not all of the riders may be available in all states and not all riders may be currently available for issue.
 
GMIB
 
You may add a GMIB rider to your contract at the time the contract is issued. We may, at our sole option, also offer the GMIB riders to existing contracts, in which case they may be added on a contract anniversary. All of the GMIB riders guarantee minimum lifetime fixed income in monthly annuity payments.
 
The amount of these payments for the GMIB rider is determined by applying the “guaranteed income base” to the annuity tables in the GMIB rider. The guaranteed income base is the greater of (a) your “guaranteed earnings income base,” which is your total purchase payments, from the time the GMIB rider is issued until the GMIB payments begin or you reach age 85, accumulated at an annual rate of 5.5% or (b) your “step-up base,” which is your highest total contract value as of any contract anniversary before the annuitant attains age 80. The guaranteed income base is reduced proportionately for any withdrawals. If the annuitant is age 76 to 80 when GMIB is purchased, the guaranteed annual rate is 4% instead of 5.5%. You may not purchase GMIB after the annuitant is age 80.
 
If the amount of annuity payments under the contract or under a single premium immediate annuity we offer at the time you elect to annuitize would be greater than the amount of payments under the GMIB rider, we will pay the larger amounts.
 
If you choose GMIB, there is an annual charge, at the end of each contract year, of 0.45% of the guaranteed income base as of each contract anniversary. The charge for GMIB ends when you begin to receive annuity or GMIB payments, or the rider has expired at the later of your age 85 or 10 years after you purchased the rider. Except as described below, if you choose GMIB, you cannot later discontinue it. The annual charge for GMIB will continue even if the underlying Funds’ investment performance surpasses the GMIB guarantees. The GMIB rider is no longer available. Last available purchase date depends on state of contract issue. See your representative for more information.
 
You may not begin to receive GMIB payments until the GMIB rider has been in effect for at least 10 years. We may refer to this time period as the “ten year annuitization waiting period.” If you choose to receive annuity payments as provided in the contract or under a single premium annuity we offer instead of receiving GMIB payments, your GMIB rider will then be of no further value to you. You may elect to receive GMIB payments within 30 days after the rider’s 10th anniversary or within 30 days after any later anniversary before the annuitant is age 85. If the annuitant is age 76 to 80 when you purchase GMIB, your GMIB payments must begin on the rider’s 10th anniversary.

The guaranteed income base is used solely for the purpose of calculating GMIB payments. It does not provide a contract value or guarantee performance of any investment option. The level of lifetime income guaranteed by GMIB may be less than the income that our current annuity factors would provide because, (a) GMIB payments may assume a lower interest rate and (b) GMIB payments may be based on an assumption that you will live longer than the mortality assumed in our then-offered immediate annuities.
 
GMIB Plus
 
In those states where permitted, we offered a GMIB “Plus” rider. The GMIB Plus rider is no longer available. Last available purchase date depends on state of contract issue. See your representative for more information. You may not have both GMIB and GMIB Plus on the same contract, and we may limit the availability of one or the other of the riders in any state. GMIB Plus is identical to GMIB except for these four differences:
 
(1)  For GMIB Plus, any withdrawals you make during a contract year equal to or less than the amount that the guaranteed earnings base has increased during that year will reduce the guaranteed earnings income base dollar for dollar,
 
(2)  The step-up income base is your highest total contract value as of any anniversary before the annuitant attains age 85, rather than 80,
 
(3)  The annual charge for GMIB Plus is 0.50% of the guaranteed income base.
 
(4)  Regardless of the annuitant’s age when the rider is issued, the guaranteed earnings rate is reduced to 0% on the earlier of the date that the annuitant attains age 85 or the date that is 24 years from the date that the rider is first issued.
 
GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset
 
In those states where permitted, we may offer a GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset rider. The GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset is not available for purchase after May 15, 2009. We may limit the availability of the riders in any state. You may not purchase the GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset after the annuitant is age 79. You cannot purchase the GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset if the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) rider is available. The GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset rider is identical to GMIB Plus except:
 
(1)  For the GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset you may reset the guaranteed earnings income base on the fifth contract anniversary and the annual charge is 0.50% of the guaranteed income base.
 
(2)  There is a “no lapse” provision allowing annuitization if your contract value is reduced to zero before the ten year annuitization waiting period.
 
With the “no-lapse” provision listed above, if prior to the time you are eligible to annuitize using your guaranteed income base, your contract value becomes zero, you can, at your option, annuitize your contract using your then-guaranteed income base at the annuitization rates provided under the GMIB rider for your then-age. However, if during the ten year rider period you withdraw more than amounts eligible for dollar-for-dollar treatment to the guaranteed earnings income base, you will forfeit this protection. That is to say, if during any one contract year you withdraw more than 5.5% of the guaranteed earnings income base (4% if the rider was issued after age 75) the “no lapse” protection is not available from the point of that “excess” withdrawal forward. We may allow you to reinstate the “no lapse” protection if the GMIB rider is reset and your contract value at time of reset is greater than the guaranteed income base.
 
GMIB Plus with Annual Reset
 
In those states where permitted, we may also offer a GMIB Plus with Annual Reset rider. You cannot purchase the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset if the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset (2009) is available. We may limit the availability of the riders in any state. You may purchase GMIB Plus with Annual Reset until the annuitant is age 75. GMIB Plus with Annual Reset rider is identical to GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset rider except that you may reset

the guaranteed earnings income base on each contract anniversary and the annual charge is 0.65% of the guaranteed income base.
 
In those states where permitted, in the future we may allow you under certain circumstances to discontinue the GMIB or GMIB Plus rider in order to add the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset rider on a contract anniversary. If you choose to add the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset rider, a new ten year annuitization waiting period will begin. Depending on the future investment results under your contract, it may be disadvantageous to you to replace your GMIB or GMIB Plus rider with the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset rider. Please consult with your financial representative to determine if adding the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset rider is appropriate for you.
 
The effect of the GMIB, GMIB Plus, GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset and GMIB Plus with Annual Reset riders is to allow you to withdraw an amount equal to the amount by which your guaranteed earnings income base has grown without reducing the guaranteed earnings income base below its amount as of the beginning of the current contract year. The GMIB Plus, GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset and GMIB Plus with Annual Reset allow those contract owners to access cash values for income immediately, provided no more than 5.5% (or 4% depending on age at the time the rider is issued) is withdrawn yearly, while leaving the guaranteed earnings income base at or above the level it began the contract year at. You could for instance take withdrawals of 5.5% (4% for issue ages 76 or greater) of the contract year’s beginning guaranteed earnings income base year after year and the guaranteed earnings income base would then remain at its original level if you make no other purchase payments or withdrawals. In contrast, the GMIB’s pro rata deduction against the guaranteed earnings income base could adversely impact the contract owners taking income in that the guaranteed amount could be reduced more aggressively than with the GMIB Plus, GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset and GMIB Plus with Annual Reset riders. In any event, the step-up base is adjusted pro rata for any withdrawals.
 
Subject to certain limitations, the GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset and the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset riders provide you the option of resetting the guaranteed earnings income base to the then-current contract value. The GMIB Plus with Five Year Reset rider allows you to reset every 5th contract anniversary prior to the annuitant’s 75th birthday. The GMIB Plus with Annual Reset rider allows you to reset each and every contract anniversary up to the later of the annuitant’s 75th birthday or the fifth rider anniversary, with a minimum opportunity of 5 resets. If the contract value at the time of reset is higher than the guaranteed earnings income base, you may make larger withdrawals on a dollar for dollar basis from the new guaranteed earnings income base. At every eligible reset anniversary, you can reset the guaranteed earnings income base by notifying the Company within 30 days after the contract anniversary date in writing or other method the Company agrees to. If you elect to reset the guaranteed earnings income base a new ten year annuitization waiting period will begin and you will be required to enter a new rider charge period. That is, you will not be eligible to annuitize using the guaranteed income base for the ten year period following the reset. You may choose to receive annuity payments as provided in your contract during the ten year period or under a single premium, immediate annuity we may generally make available at the time, but your GMIB rider will then be of no further value to you.
 
In any event, resetting may not be elected after the annuitant’s 79th birthday. Because of this, contract owners close to age 75 should consider whether the annual reset option is of benefit to them.
 
When the optional death benefit ARDBR has also been purchased, resetting the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset also resets the ARDBR earnings base. Resetting the GMIB Plus with Annual Reset is the only way in which the ARDBR can be reset.
 
Tax qualified retirement plans and Individual Retirement Annuities have minimum distribution requirements. Participants may be required to begin receiving payments from a tax qualified contract before the rider’s 10th anniversary. See “Federal Tax Status” and “Appendix A — IRA Disclosure Statement.” You could be subject to tax penalties if you do not begin receiving GMIB payments until after your required minimum distribution beginning date. Please consult your tax advisor to determine if the GMIB riders are appropriate for you.

Optional Guaranteed Principal Access (“GPA”)
 
We may offer a Guaranteed Principal Access (“GPA”) rider in those states where permitted. The GPA rider is not available for purchase after May 1, 2009. With certain restrictions, this rider guarantees:
 
i.  you will be able to withdraw a portion (up to 7% or 8% annually, depending on the rider you choose) of your contract’s guaranteed principal amount for a term of ten years, regardless of the then current cash value of your contract, and
 
ii.  we will add into the contract the excess, if any, of the guaranteed principal amount, adjusted for withdrawals, over the eligible contract value, if the eligible contract value is positive at the end of the ten year term. The eligible contract value is the contract value attributable to the beginning principal amount; and
 
iii.  we will allow you to take periodic withdrawals from your contract as described below in a total amount equal to the excess of the guaranteed principal amount, adjusted for withdrawals, over the eligible contract value, if the eligible contract value is reduced to zero during the ten year term.
 
This rider is beneficial to those contract owners who anticipate taking withdrawals over a limited time and who are concerned about possible decreases in contract values affecting the amount available for their withdrawal. This rider differs from the Guaranteed Principal Protection (“GPP”) rider because the GPP rider does not contemplate, nor guarantee withdrawals. If you do not anticipate withdrawing money from your rider in the next ten years, you may wish to purchase the GPP rider which guarantees your principal at the end of the ten years and costs less than the GPA rider. Because GPA involves withdrawals, the amount you may annuitize under your contract may be less than you would otherwise have if you had not elected withdrawals.
 
If you select this rider, at the end of the ten-year rider period, we will credit your contract with the difference between the remaining unused guaranteed principal amount and the remaining eligible contract value. If at the end of the rider term the variable contract value relating to the guaranteed principal amount exceeds the unused guaranteed principal amount, there will be no additional amounts added to your rider.
 
You may apply for the GPA rider at the time you apply for the contract or at our option, upon any subsequent contract anniversary so long as the annuitant is under age 81 at the time the rider is issued. In addition, the GPA rider is not available in conjunction with the Guaranteed Principal Protection (“GPP”) rider or any of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) riders we may offer. If you select the GPA rider, the variable portion of your contract values must be allocated to and, for the duration of the rider, remain in one of the Asset Allocation Models and you must abide by all the rules associated with the Asset Allocation Models (see “Optional Asset Allocation Models”). You may also have a portion of your contract values in a fixed accumulation account or a dollar-cost averaging account that transfers to a model, that we may offer while this rider is in force.
 
The annual charge for the rider is deducted on each contract anniversary and is .40% of your average annual contract value for the 7% GPA rider and .50% of your average annual contract value for the 8% GPA rider.
 
The annual amount you may withdraw is a percentage (7% or 8%) of the beginning guaranteed principal amount. The beginning guaranteed principal amount is defined as your initial purchase payment, plus any additional purchase payments received within the first six months after the contract is issued. If the rider is added after issue, the beginning guaranteed principal amount is the then-current contract value.
 
It is not necessary that you withdraw the guaranteed amount from your contract each year. However, the amount available for withdrawal is not cumulative from year to year. For example, if you only withdraw 5% of an eligible 7%, the amount available the next year is still 7%. The amount you elect not to withdraw in a year remains guaranteed and will be included in the amount to be added to the contract, if any, at the end of the ten year withdrawal period.
 
You may also withdraw more than the guaranteed withdrawal amount in a given year. However, the excess withdrawal amount will function to reduce the amount guaranteed for withdrawal in later years of the rider and

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

may be subject to a surrender charge. The amount eligible for withdrawal during the remainder of the rider period following an excess withdrawal is the lesser of the total contract value immediately following the excess withdrawal or the guaranteed principal amount less the amount withdrawn. The amount you may withdraw on a guaranteed basis will be less than the amount you were able to withdraw and on the next contract anniversary you will begin a new 10-year term and your guaranteed annual withdrawal amount will be recalculated. As a result, if you take an excess withdrawal when your total contract value is less than your beginning guaranteed principal amount, you will forfeit a portion of the prior beginning guaranteed principal amount. In addition if you take an excess withdrawal and as a result your contract value related to the beginning guaranteed principal amount is zero, you will have no benefit under the GPA rider. Also, an excess withdrawal may impact the amount you will receive under a scheduled payment or withdrawal plan because the guaranteed withdrawal amount eligible for withdrawal in future years is decreased.
 
If you terminate the rider, either by notifying us before the next contract anniversary date or by moving contract values out of the optional Asset Allocation Models, a full annual rider charge will be assessed without being prorated to the date of termination.
 
After the rider has been in effect for at least 5 years, we offer you the opportunity to reset the GPA rider. You may reset the rider on a subsequent contract anniversary so long as the annuitant has not reached age 81. Upon resetting the rider, you will be eligible to annually withdraw 7% or 8% of the then-current total contract value each of the next 10 years. The charge for a rider upon reset may be higher than the initial charge for the rider based on rates applicable to new contracts. You may reset the rider more than once, but you must wait 5 years between resets.
 
The guaranteed withdrawal amounts are not subject to the surrender charge. This also applies to reset riders. This is true even if the amount of your guaranteed withdrawal is more than the amount of the free withdrawal amount under your base contract. Excess withdrawals in an amount more than the guaranteed withdrawal amount may be subject to a surrender charge if the amount withdrawn in a year also exceeds the annual free withdrawal amount under your base contract (10% of the contract value).
 
If, during the course of the rider, your eligible contract value decreases to zero and you are still eligible for guaranteed withdrawals, we will pay the remaining guaranteed principal amount in a series of preauthorized withdrawals, for which we may limit the amount or frequency. In other words, the remaining guaranteed amounts are paid to you through a single premium immediate fixed annuity. You may elect any payout option you wish, except that the annual payouts may not exceed the annual guaranteed principal withdrawal amount you would have otherwise been entitled to receive. As such, your annual payments will continue beyond the end of the ten year term until your remaining guaranteed principal amount is paid out in full. We will not pay interest on the amounts to be paid you under these circumstances. Additionally, if your entire contract value decreases to zero, we will not accept any additional purchase payments under the contract and the contract will cease to provide any death benefit.
 
The rider will continue only upon the death of the owner and the transfer of the contract through the spousal continuation provision of your contract. Upon a spousal transfer, the new owner has all the rights of the original owner, including the right to reset the rider and renew the rider at the end of the 10-year term. Unless there is a spousal continuation, this rider terminates upon the death of the owner.
 
Optional Guaranteed Principal Protection (“GPP”)
 
In those states where permitted, we may offer the GPP rider when you apply for the contract, or at our sale option, we may also offer the GPP rider to existing contract owners, in which case it may be added on a contract anniversary, if the annuitant is then under age 80. GPP rider is not available when your contract includes the optional Guaranteed Principal Access (“GPA”) rider.

If you continue the GPP rider until the end of its 10-year term, and do not make any withdrawals, we guarantee that your eligible contract value will not be less than it was at the beginning of the 10-year term. On the last day of the 10-year term, we will add an amount to your total contract value to increase it to the ‘guaranteed contract value’ if the eligible contract value at the end of the 10-year term is less than the guaranteed contract value. The guaranteed contract value is the contract value:
 
(a)  as of the first day of the rider’s term, or
 
(b)  the amount in (a) plus the total of any purchase payments made in the first 6 months if the rider was included in the contract when you purchased the contract,
 
(c)  reduced pro rata for any withdrawals you made.
 
Contract values attributable to purchase payments made after the rider is added (or after the first 6 months if the rider is included when the contract was issued) are not included in the guaranteed contract value and do not count as part of your eligible contract value at the end of the term for purposes of determining the benefit amount.
 
If you choose GPP, you must allocate all variable contract values to one of the Asset Allocation Models (see Optional Asset Allocation Models) during the entire 10-year term of the rider. You may change Asset Allocation Models at any time. You may also have a portion of your contract values in a fixed accumulation account or in a dollar-cost averaging account that transfers to a model that we may offer while this rider is in force. If you stop using a model, we will cancel the GPP rider. You may cancel the GPP rider as of any contract anniversary by notifying us before that anniversary. Cancellation of the GPP rider does not affect any other contract features. You may continue using an Asset Allocation Model after the GPP rider ends.
 
In those states where permitted, for contracts applied for on or after May 15, 2009, the charge for the GPP rider is made on each contract anniversary at the rate of 0.55% of the average of your guaranteed principal amount at the beginning and the end of each contract year. (The charge for other contracts is 0.20%). This charge will discontinue if the GPP rider is cancelled. However, if the GPP is canceled because you stop using a model, a full annual rider charge will be assessed without being prorated to the date of cancellation.
 
At the end of the 10-year term, you may reset the rider for another 10-year term if the annuitant is then under age 80. The guaranteed contract value under the new GPP 10-year term will be your total contract value as of the end of the 10-year term then ended, including any amount we then add pursuant to the earlier GPP 10-year term, subject to adjustment for any withdrawals. You may also reset the GPP rider’s guaranteed contract value at the current contract value on any contract anniversary after the rider has been in effect for at least 5 years (if the annuitant is then under age 80). This starts a new 10-year rider term.
 
If the annuitant dies during the 10-year term, and his or her spouse continues the contract, the GPP rider may also be continued.

Other Contract Provisions
 
Assignment
 
Amounts payable in settlement of a contract may not be commuted, anticipated, assigned or otherwise encumbered, or pledged as loan collateral to anyone other than us. We may require that any designated beneficiary have an insurable interest in the life of the annuitant. To the extent permitted by law, such amounts are not subject to any legal process to pay any claims against an annuitant before annuity payments begin. The owner of a tax-qualified contract may not, but the owner of a non-tax-qualified contract may, collaterally assign the contract before the annuity payout date. Ownership of a tax-qualified contract may not be transferred except to:
 
•  the annuitant,
 
•  a trustee or successor trustee of a pension or profit-sharing trust which is qualified under Section 401 of the Code,
 
•  the employer of the annuitant provided that the contract after transfer is maintained under the terms of a retirement plan qualified under Section 403(a) of the Code for the benefit of the annuitant, or
 
•  as otherwise permitted by laws and regulations governing plans for which the contract may be issued.
 
Reports and Confirmations
 
Before the annuity payout date, we will send you quarterly statements showing the number of units credited to the contract by Fund and the value of each unit as of the end of the last quarter. In addition, as long as the contract remains in effect, we will forward any periodic Fund reports.
 
We will send you a written confirmation of your purchase payments, transfers and withdrawals. For regularly recurring transactions, such as dollar cost averaging and payroll deduction programs, we may confirm the transactions in a quarterly report. Review your statements and confirmations to verify their accuracy and report any error or inaccuracy to us.
 
Substitution for Fund Shares
 
If investment in a Fund is no longer possible or we believe it is inappropriate to the purposes of the contract, we may substitute one or more other funds. Substitution may be made as to both existing investments and the investment of future purchase payments. However, no substitution will be made until we receive any necessary approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also add other Funds as eligible investments of VAN.
 
Contract Owner Inquiries
 
Direct any questions to National Security, Variable Annuity Administration, P.O. Box 5378, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201-5378; telephone 1-877-446-6020 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Eastern time).
 
Performance Data
 
We may advertise performance data for the various Funds showing the percentage change in unit values based on the performance of the applicable Fund over a period of time (usually a calendar year). We determine the percentage change by dividing the increase (or decrease) in value for the unit by the unit value at the beginning of the period. This percent reflects the deduction of any asset-based contract charge but does not reflect the deduction of any applicable contract administration charge or surrender charge. The deduction of a contract administration charge or surrender charge would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

Advertising may also include average annual total return figures calculated as shown in the Statement of Additional Information. The average annual total return figures reflect the deduction of applicable contract administration charges and surrender charges as well as applicable asset-based charges.
 
We may also distribute sales literature comparing separate account performance to the Consumer Price Index or to such established market indexes as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index, IBC’s Money Fund Reports, Lehman Brothers Bond Indices, the Morgan Stanley Europe Australia Far East Index, Morgan Stanley World Index, Russell 2000 Index, or other variable annuity separate accounts or mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the Funds.
 
Federal Tax Status
 
The following discussion of federal income tax treatment of amounts received under a variable annuity contract does not cover all situations or issues. It is not intended as tax advice. Consult a qualified tax adviser to apply the law to your circumstances. Tax laws can change, even for contracts that have already been issued. Tax law revisions, with unfavorable consequences, could have retroactive effect on previously issued contracts or on later voluntary transactions in previously issued contracts.
 
We are taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Since the operations of VAN are a part of, and are taxed with, our operations, VAN is not separately taxed as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code.
 
As to tax-qualified contracts, the law does not now provide for payment of federal income tax on dividend income or capital gains distributions from Fund shares held in VAN or upon capital gains realized by VAN on redemption of Fund shares. When a non-tax-qualified contract is issued in connection with a deferred compensation plan or arrangement, all rights, discretions and powers relative to the contract are vested in the employer and you must look only to your employer for the payment of deferred compensation benefits. Generally, in that case, an annuitant will have no “investment in the contract” and amounts received by you from your employer under a deferred compensation arrangement will be taxable in full as ordinary income in the years you receive the payments.
 
The income and gains within an annuity contract are generally tax deferred. Within a tax-qualified plan, the plan itself provides tax deferral. Therefore, the tax-deferred treatment otherwise available to an annuity contract is not a factor to consider when purchasing an annuity within a tax-qualified plan or arrangement.
 
The contracts are considered annuity contracts under Section 72 of the Code, which generally provides for taxation of annuities. Under existing provisions of the Code, any increase in the contract value is not taxable to you as the owner or annuitant until you receive it, either in the form of annuity payments, as contemplated by the contract, or in some other form of distribution. The owner of a non-tax qualified contract must be a natural person for this purpose. With certain exceptions, where the owner of a non-tax qualified contract is a non-natural person (corporation, partnership or trust) any increase in the accumulation value of the contract attributable to purchase payments made after February 28, 1986 will be treated as ordinary income received or accrued by the contract owner during the current tax year.
 
When annuity payments begin, each payment is taxable under Section 72 of the Code as ordinary income in the year of receipt if you have neither paid any portion of the purchase payments nor previously been taxed on any portion of the purchase payments. If any portion of the purchase payments has been paid from or included in your taxable income, this aggregate amount will be considered your “investment in the contract.” You will be entitled to exclude from your taxable income a portion of each annuity payment equal to your “investment in the contract” divided by the period of expected annuity payments, determined by your life expectancy and the form of annuity benefit. Once you recover your “investment in the contract,” all further annuity payments will be included in your taxable income.

Form 6725-NSLAC


49


Table of Contents

If you elect to receive the accumulated value in a single sum in lieu of annuity payments, any amount you receive or withdraw in excess of the “investment in the contract” is normally taxable as ordinary income in the year received. A withdrawal of contract values is taxable as income to the extent that the accumulated value of the contract immediately before the payment exceeds the “investment in the contract.” A withdrawal is treated as a distribution of earnings first and only second as a recovery of your “investment in the contract.” Any part of the value of the contract that you assign or pledge to secure a loan will be taxed as if it had been a withdrawal and may be subject to a penalty tax.
 
There is a penalty tax equal to 10% of any amount that must be included in gross income for tax purposes. The penalty will not apply to a redemption that is:
 
•  received on or after the taxpayer reaches age 591/2;
 
•  made to a beneficiary on or after the death of the annuitant;
 
•  attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled;
 
•  made as a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life of the annuitant (or joint lives of the annuitant and beneficiary);
 
•  from a contract that is a qualified funding asset for purposes of a structured settlement;
 
•  made under an annuity contract that is purchased with a single premium and with an annuity payout date not later than a year from the purchase of the annuity;
 
•  incident to divorce, or
 
•  taken from an IRA for a qualified first-time home purchase (up to $10,000) or qualified education expenses.
 
Any taxable amount you withdraw from a tax-qualified annuity contract is automatically subject to 10% withholding (20% for a non-tax-qualified contract) unless you elect not to have withholding apply. If you elect not to have withholding apply to an early withdrawal or if an insufficient amount is withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may also incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if the withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. If you fail to provide your taxpayer identification number, any payments under the contract will automatically be subject to withholding.
 
Tax-Deferred Annuities
 
Under the provisions of Section 403(b) of the Code, employees may exclude from their gross income purchase payments made for annuity contracts purchased for them by public educational institutions and certain tax-exempt organizations which are described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. You may make this exclusion to the extent that the aggregate purchase payments plus any other amounts contributed to purchase the contract and toward benefits under qualified retirement plans do not exceed certain limits in the Code. Employee contributions are, however, subject to social security (FICA) tax withholding. All amounts you receive under a contract, either in the form of annuity payments or cash withdrawal, will be taxed under Section 72 of the Code as ordinary income for the year received, except for exclusion of any amounts representing “investment in the contract.” Under certain circumstances, amounts you receive may be used to make a “tax-free rollover” into one of the types of individual retirement arrangements permitted under the Code. Amounts you receive that are eligible for “tax-free rollover” will be subject to an automatic 20% withholding unless you directly roll over such amounts from the tax-deferred annuity to the individual retirement arrangement.
 
With respect to earnings accrued and purchase payments made after December 31, 1988, for a salary reduction agreement under Section 403(b) of the Code, distributions may be paid only when the employee:
 
•  attains age 591/2,
 
•  separates from the employer’s service,
 
•  dies,

Form 6725-NSLAC


50


Table of Contents

 
•  becomes disabled as defined in the Code, or
 
•  incurs a financial hardship as defined in the Code.
 
In the case of hardship, cash distributions may not exceed the amount of your purchase payments. These restrictions do not affect your right to transfer investments among the Funds and do not limit the availability of transfers between tax-deferred annuities.
 
Qualified Pension or Profit-Sharing Plans
 
Under present law, purchase payments made by an employer or trustee, for a plan or trust qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, are generally excludable from the employee’s gross income. Any purchase payments made by the employee, or which are considered taxable income to the employee in the year such payments are made, constitute an “investment in the contract” under Section 72 of the Code for the employee’s annuity benefits. Salary reduction payments to a profit sharing plan qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Code are generally excludable from the employee’s gross income up to certain limits in the Code.
 
The Code requires plans to prohibit any distribution to a plan participant prior to age 591/2, except in the event of death, total disability or separation from service (special rules apply for plan terminations). Distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the participant reaches age 701/2. Premature distribution of benefits or contributions in excess of those permitted by the Code may result in certain penalties under the Code. Special tax treatment, including capital gain treatment and 5-year forward averaging, may be available to those born before 1936. If you receive such a distribution you may be able to make a “tax-free rollover” of the distribution less your “investment in the contract” into another qualified plan in which you are a participant or into one of the types of individual retirement arrangements permitted under the Code. Your surviving spouse receiving such a distribution may be able to make a tax-free rollover to one of the types of individual retirement arrangements permitted under the Code. Amounts received that are eligible for “tax-free rollover” will be subject to an automatic 20% withholding unless such amounts are directly rolled over to another qualified plan or individual retirement arrangement.
 
Withholding on Annuity Payments
 
Distributions from tax-deferred annuities or qualified pension or profit sharing plans that are eligible for “tax-free rollover” will be subject to an automatic 20% withholding unless such amounts are directly rolled over to an individual retirement arrangement or another qualified plan. Federal income tax withholding is required on annuity payments. However, recipients of annuity payments are allowed to elect not to have the tax withheld. This election may be revoked at any time and withholding would begin after that. If you do not give us your taxpayer identification number any payments under the contract will automatically be subject to withholding.

Appendix A
 
IRA Disclosure Statement
 
This statement is designed to help you understand the requirements of federal tax law which apply to your individual retirement annuity (IRA), your Roth IRA, your simplified employee pension IRA (SEPP-IRA) for employer contributions, your Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRA, or to one you purchase for your spouse. You can obtain more information regarding your IRA either from your sales representative or from any district office of the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Free Look Period
 
The annuity contract offered by this prospectus gives you the opportunity to revoke the contract within 7 days after you receive it (or a longer period as may be required by your state law) and get a refund of contract value as of the date of cancellation. We deem you to receive the contract and the free look period to begin five days after we mail your contract to you. This is a more liberal provision than is required in connection with IRAs. To exercise this “free-look” provision write or call our administrative office at the address shown below:

Telephone: 1-877-446-6020 — 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (Eastern time zone)
 
Eligibility Requirements
 
IRAs are intended for all persons with earned compensation whether or not they are covered under other retirement programs. Additionally if you have a non-working spouse (and you file a joint tax return), you may establish an IRA on behalf of your non-working spouse. A working spouse may establish his or her own IRA. A divorced spouse receiving taxable alimony (and no other income) may also establish an IRA.
 
Contributions and Deductions
 
Contributions to a traditional IRA will be deductible if you are not an “active participant” in an employer maintained qualified retirement plan or if you have Adjusted Gross Income which does not exceed the “applicable dollar limit”. For a single taxpayer, the applicable dollar limitation is $55,000 in 2009, with the amount of IRA contribution which may be deducted reduced proportionately for Adjusted Gross Income between $55,000 and $65,000. For married couples filing jointly, the applicable dollar limitation is $89,000 in 2009, with the amount of IRA contribution which may be deducted reduced proportionately for Adjusted Gross Income between $89,000 and $109,000. There is no deduction allowed for IRA contributions when Adjusted Gross Income reaches $65,000 for individuals and $109,000 for married couples filing jointly. IRA contributions must be made by no later than the time you file your income tax return for that year. Special limits will apply for the non-active participant spouse where a joint return is filed with an active participant.
 
Contributions made by your employer to your SEPP-IRA are excludable from your gross income for tax purposes in the calendar year for which the amount is contributed. Certain employees who participate in a SEPP-IRA will be entitled to elect to have their employer make contributions to their SEPP-IRA on their behalf or to receive the contributions in cash. If the employee elects to have contributions made on the employee’s behalf to the SEPP, those funds are not treated as current taxable income to the employee. Salary-reduction SEPP-IRAs (also called “SARSEPs”) are available only if at least 50% of the employees elect to have amounts contributed to the SEPP-IRA and if the employer has 25 or fewer employees at all times during the preceding year. New SARSEPs may no longer be established. Elective deferrals under a salary-reduction SEPP-IRA are subject to an inflation-adjusted limit which is $16,500 for 2009.

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

The IRA maximum annual contribution and the associated tax deduction is limited to the lesser of: (1) $5,000 in 2009 or (2) 100% of your earned compensation. Those age 50 or older may make an additional IRA contribution of $1,000 per year in 2009. Contributions in excess of the limits may be subject to penalty. See below.
 
The maximum tax deductible annual contribution that a divorced spouse with no other income may make to an IRA is the lesser of (1) $5,000 or (2) 100% of taxable alimony.
 
Under a SEPP-IRA agreement, the maximum annual contribution which your employer may make on your behalf to a SEPP-IRA contract which is excludable from your income is the lesser of 100% of your salary or $49,000. An employee who is a participant in a SEPP-IRA agreement may make after-tax contributions to the SEPP-IRA contract, subject to the contribution limits applicable to IRAs in general. Those employee contributions will be deductible subject to the deductibility rules described above. The Internal Revenue Service has reviewed the format of your SEPP-IRA and issued an opinion letter to us stating that it qualifies as a prototype SEPP-IRA.
 
If you or your employer should contribute more than the maximum contribution amount to your IRA or SEPP-IRA, the excess amount will be considered an “excess contribution”. You may withdraw an excess contribution from your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) before your tax filing date without adverse tax consequences. If, however, you fail to withdraw any such excess contribution before your tax filing date, a 6% excise tax will be imposed on the excess for the tax year of contribution.
 
Once the 6% excise tax has been imposed, an additional 6% penalty for the following tax year can be avoided if the excess is (1) withdrawn before the end of the following year, or (2) treated as a current contribution for the following year. (See Premature Distributions for penalties imposed on withdrawal when the contribution exceeds $5,000).
 
An individual retirement annuity must be an annuity contract. In our opinion, the optional additional death benefits available under the contract are part of the annuity contract. There is a risk, however, that the Internal Revenue Service would take the position that one or more of the optional additional death benefits are not part of the annuity contract. In such a case, the charges for the optional additional death benefits would be considered distributions from the IRA and would be subject to tax, including penalty taxes. The charges for the optional additional death benefits would not be deductible. It is possible that the IRS could determine that optional death proceeds in excess of the greater of the contract value or net purchase payments are taxable to your beneficiary. Should the IRS so rule, we may have to tax report such excess death benefits as taxable income to your beneficiary. If the IRS were to take such a position, we would take all reasonable steps to avoid this result, including the right to amend the contract, with appropriate notice to you.
 
The contracts are not eligible for use in Puerto Rico IRAs.
 
IRA for Non-working Spouse
 
If you establish an IRA for yourself, you may also be eligible to establish an IRA for your “non-working” spouse. In order to be eligible to establish such a spousal IRA, you must file a joint tax return with your spouse and if your non-working spouse has compensation, his/her compensation must be less than your compensation for the year. Contributions of up to $10,000 each may be made to the two IRAs if the combined compensation of you and your spouse is at least equal to the amount contributed. If requirements for deductibility (including income levels) are met, you will be able to deduct an amount equal to the least of (i) the amount contributed to the IRA’s; (ii) $10,000; or (iii) 100% of your combined gross income.
 
Contributions in excess of the contribution limits may be subject to penalty. See above under “Contributions and Deductions”. If you contribute more than the allowable amount, the excess portion will be considered an excess contribution. The rules for correcting it are the same as discussed above for regular IRAs.
 
Other than the items mentioned in this section, all of the requirements generally applicable to IRAs are also applicable to IRAs established for non-working spouses.

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

 
Rollover Contribution
 
Once every year, you may move any portion of the value of your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) to another IRA or bond. Withdrawals may also be made from other IRAs and contributed to this contract. This transfer of funds from one IRA to another is called a “rollover” IRA. To qualify as a rollover contribution, the entire portion of the withdrawal must be reinvested in another IRA within 60 days after the date it is received. You are not allowed a tax-deduction for the amount of any rollover contribution.
 
A similar type of rollover to an IRA can be made with the proceeds of a qualified distribution from a qualified retirement plan or tax-sheltered annuity. Properly made, such a distribution will not be taxable until you receive payments from the IRA created with it. You may later roll over such a contribution to another qualified retirement plan. (You may roll less than all of a qualified distribution into an IRA, but any part of it not rolled over will be currently includable in your income without any capital gains treatment.)
 
Premature Distributions
 
At no time can an interest in your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) be forfeited. The federal tax law does not permit you to use your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) as security for a loan. Furthermore, as a general rule, you may not sell or assign your interest in your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) to anyone. Use of an IRA (or SEPP-IRA) as security or assignment of it to another will invalidate the entire annuity. It then will be includable in your income in the year it is invalidated and will be subject to a 10% penalty tax if you are not at least age 591/2 or totally disabled. (You may, however, assign your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) without penalty to your former spouse in accordance with the terms of a divorce decree.)
 
You may withdraw part of the value of your IRA (or SEPP-IRA). If a withdrawal does not qualify as a rollover, the amount withdrawn will be includable in your income and subject to the 10% penalty if you are not at least age 591/2 or totally disabled or the withdrawal meets the requirements of another exception contained in the Code, unless you comply with special rules requiring distributions to be made at least annually over your life expectancy.
 
The 10% penalty tax does not apply to the withdrawal of an excess contribution as long as the excess is withdrawn before the due date of your tax return. Withdrawals of excess contributions after the due date of your tax return will generally be subject to the 10% penalty unless the excess contribution results from erroneous information from a plan trustee making an excess rollover contribution or unless you are over age 591/2 or are disabled.
 
Distribution at Retirement
 
Once you have attained age 591/2 (or have become totally disabled), you may elect to receive a distribution of your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) regardless of when you actually retire. You may elect to receive the distribution in either one sum or under any one of the periodic payment options available under the contract. The distributions from your IRA under any one of the periodic payment options or in one sum will be treated as ordinary income as you receive them unless nondeductible contributions were made to the IRA. In that case, only earnings will be income.
 
Inadequate Distributions — 50% Tax
 
Your IRA or SEPP-IRA is intended to provide retirement benefits over your lifetime. Thus, federal law requires that you either (1) receive a lump-sum distribution of your IRA by April 1 of the year following the year in which you attain age 701/2 or (2) start to receive periodic payments by that date. If you elect to receive periodic payments, those payments must be sufficient to pay out the entire value of your IRA during your life expectancy (or over the joint life expectancies of you and your spouse). If the payments are not sufficient to meet these requirements, an excise tax of 50% will be imposed on the amount of any underpayment.

Form 6725-NSLAC

Table of Contents

 
Death Benefits
 
If you, (or your surviving spouse) die before starting required minimum distributions or receiving the entire value of your IRA (or SEPP-IRA), the remaining interest must be distributed to your beneficiary (or your surviving spouse’s beneficiary) in one lump-sum within 5 years of death, or applied to purchase an immediate annuity for the beneficiary. This annuity must be payable over the life expectancy of the beneficiary beginning within one year after your or your spouse’s death. If your spouse is the designated beneficiary, he or she is treated as the owner of the IRA. If minimum required distributions have begun at the time of your death, the entire amount must be distributed over a period of time not exceeding your beneficiary’s life expectancy. A distribution of the balance of your IRA upon your death will not be considered a gift for federal tax purposes, but will be included in your gross estate for purposes of federal estate taxes.
 
Roth IRAs
 
Section 408A of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to a type of IRA known as a “Roth IRA.” Contributions may be made to a Roth IRA by taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of less than $176,000 for married individuals filing jointly and less than $120,000 for single individuals. Married individuals filing separately are not eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA. The maximum amount of contributions allowable for any taxable year to all Roth IRAs maintained by an individual is generally the same as the contribution limits for traditional IRAs (the limit is phased out for incomes between $166,000 and $176,000 for married and between $105,000 and $120,000 for singles). The contribution limit is reduced by the amount of any contributions made to a non-Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible. Catch up contributions are available for persons age 50 and older.
 
For taxpayers with adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less, all or part of amounts in a non-Roth IRA may be converted, transferred or rolled over to a Roth IRA. Some or all of the IRA value will typically be includable in the taxpayer’s gross income. Provided a rollover contribution meets the requirements for IRAs under Section 408(d)(3) of the Code, a rollover may be made from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA.
 
Under some circumstances, it may not be advisable to roll over, transfer or convert all or part of a non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA. Persons considering a rollover, transfer or conversion should consult their own tax advisor.
 
“Qualified distributions” from a Roth IRA are excludable from gross income. A “qualified distribution” is a distribution that satisfies two requirements: (1) the distribution must be made (a) after the owner of the IRA attains age 591/2; (b) after the owner’s death; (c) due to the owner’s disability; or (d) for a qualified first time homebuyer distribution within the meaning of Section 72(t)(2)(F) of the Code; and (2) the distribution must be made in the year that is at least five years after the first year for which a contribution was made to any Roth IRA established for the owner or five years after a rollover, transfer or conversion was made from a non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA. Distributions from a Roth IRA that are not qualified distributions will be treated as made first from contributions and then from earnings, and taxed generally in the same manner as distributions from a non-Roth IRA.
 
Distributions from a Roth IRA need not commence at age 701/2. However, if the owner dies before the entire interest in a Roth IRA is distributed, any remaining interest in the contract must be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the owner’s death subject to certain exceptions.

Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE)
 
An employer may sponsor a plan allowing for employee salary deferral contributions with an additional employer contribution. SIMPLE plans may operate as a 401(k) or an IRA. Limits for employee contributions to a SIMPLE are $11,500 in 2009. Employees age 50 and older may contribute an additional $2,500 in 2009. Distributions from a SIMPLE are subject to restrictions similar to distributions from a traditional IRA. Additional terms of your SIMPLE are in a summary plan description distributed by your employer.
 
Reporting to the IRS
 
Whenever you are liable for one of the penalty taxes discussed above (6% for excess contributions, 10% for premature distributions or 50% for underpayments), you must file Form 5329 with the Internal Revenue Service. The form is to be attached to your federal income tax return for the tax year in which the penalty applies. Normal contributions and distributions must be shown on your income tax return for the year to which they relate.

National Security
National Security is licensed to issue life insurance and annuities in 18 states and the District of Columbia. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1973 as the Urbaine Life Reinsurance Company. In 1993, we were purchased by Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and our name was changed to First ING Life Insurance Company of New York. Our name was changed to National Security Life and Annuity Company on January 4, 2002, when we were purchased by SMON Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation which was owned jointly by Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York “Security Mutual” and The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (“Ohio National Life”). In March 2007, Ohio National Life and Security Mutual became direct owners of our stock after SMON Holdings, Inc. was dissolved, and Ohio National Life purchased additional shares of our stock from Security Mutual, increasing its ownership to over 80% of our outstanding stock. Security Mutual is a New York domiciled mutual life insurance company. Ohio National Life is an Ohio domiciled insurance company. Our home office is at 100 Court Street, Binghamton, New York 13902. Our administrative office is at One Financial Way, Montgomery, Ohio 45242.
Custodian
National Security Life and Annuity Company, the depositor, One Financial Way, Montgomery, Ohio 45242, holds custody of VAN’s assets.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The financial statements of National Security Variable Account N and the financial statements and schedules of National Security Life and Annuity Company for the periods indicated have been included herein in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Calculation of Money Market Yield
The annualized current yield of the Money Market subaccount is calculated by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment income, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one Money Market accumulation unit at the beginning of the seven-day period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from the contract, and dividing the net difference by the beginning value to obtain the seven-day return, and multiplying the difference by 365/7 (or 366/7 during a leap year). The result is rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent.
Total Return
The average annual compounded rate of return for a contract for each subaccount over a given period is found by equating the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value using the following formula:
P(1 + T)n = ERV
         
 
  where:   P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
 
      T = the average annual total return,
 
      n = the number of years, and
 
      ERV = the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 beginning-of-period payment at the end of the period (or fractional portion thereof).
We will up-date standardized total return data based upon Fund performance in the subaccounts within 30 days after each calendar quarter.
In addition, we may present non-standardized total return data, using the above formula but based upon Fund performance before the date we first offered this series of contracts. This will be presented as if the same charges and deductions applying to these contracts had been in effect from the inception of each Fund. Note that, for purposes of these calculations, we convert the $30 annual contract administration charge to an annual percentage charge of 0.00%. The actual effect that the contract administration charge would have on total returns would be greater than that for contracts having a value less than $50,000. The returns assume surrender of the contract and deduction of the applicable surrender charge at the ends of the periods shown. However, these returns do not reflect any additional charges for optional additional benefit riders. If those charges were to apply, the returns below would be decreased accordingly.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholder
National Security Life and Annuity Company:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of National Security Life and Annuity Company (the Company) (a majority owned subsidiary of The Ohio National Life Insurance Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we have also audited financial statement schedules I, III, IV, and V. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Security Life and Annuity Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NATIONAL SECURITY LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
(A Majority Owned Subsidiary of the Ohio National Life Insurance Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006
(Dollars in thousands)
(1)   Organization and Business Description
 
    National Security Life and Annuity Company (NSLAC or the Company), formerly known as First ING Life Insurance Company of New York (First ING Life), is domiciled in New York and, as of January 4, 2002, became a subsidiary of SMON Holdings, Inc. (SMON).
 
    On May 3, 2001, Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the former Parent of the Company), entered into a stock purchase agreement with Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York (SML), Ohio National Financial Services (ONFS) and SMON to sell First ING Life to SMON. After having received regulatory approval for the sale on January 3, 2002, the transaction was closed on January 4, 2002. As a result of the sale, the Company changed its name from First ING Life Insurance Company of New York to National Security Life and Annuity Company effective January 4, 2002.
 
    The Company, when under the control of the former Parent of the Company, assumed and retroceded traditional life insurance. This assumed and retroceded book of business is currently in runoff. After January 4, 2002, the Company markets a portfolio of variable annuity products in the state of New York and other jurisdictions in which the Company is licensed to do business. The Company is licensed to do business in 17 states and the District of Columbia.
 
    At November 28, 2004, SMON was jointly owned by ONFS and SML holding 51.2% and 48.8% of the outstanding shares, respectively. On November 29, 2004, ONFS contributed its entire ownership interest in SMON to The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (ONLIC), a wholly owned subsidiary of ONFS.
 
    On February 17, 2007, the board of directors and stockholders (ONLIC and SML) of SMON authorized the dissolution of SMON and the transfer of NSLAC’s shares to the former stockholders of SMON in proportion to the stockholders’ interest in SMON at the time of SMON’s dissolution. Specifically, ONLIC received 5,122 shares and SML received 4,878 shares of NSLAC’s then issued and outstanding stock. On March 30, 2007, ONLIC and SML entered into a stock purchase agreement for ONLIC to purchase an additional 2,927 shares of NSLAC from SML for $6,000, thereby increasing ONLIC’s holdings in NSLAC to approximately 80.5% and decreasing SML’s holdings to approximately 19.5%.
 
    The following is a description of the most significant risks facing life insurers:
Legal/Regulatory Risk is the risk that changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which an insurer operates will create additional expenses not anticipated by the insurer in pricing its products. That is, regulatory initiatives designed to protect or benefit policyholders that reduce insurer profits, new legal theories, or insurance company insolvencies (through guaranty fund assessments) may create costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the financial statements.
Credit Risk is the risk that issuers of securities owned by the Company or mortgagors on mortgage loans on real estate owned by the Company will default or that other parties, including reinsurers, which owe the Company money, will not pay.
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of an insurer’s investments. This change in rates may cause certain interest-sensitive products to become

uncompetitive or may cause disintermediation. To the extent that liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, an insurer would have to borrow funds or sell assets prior to maturity and potentially recognize a gain or loss.
Concentration Risk is the risk that arises from the Company’s reliance upon certain key business relationships. The Company has been selling variable annuity products since 2003. As a result of these product sales, two types of concentration risk have arisen. First, the distribution of these products is highly concentrated among a few key institutional producers. The Company’s largest distributor of variable annuity products contributed approximately 33% and 22% of total variable annuity deposits in 2008 and 2007. Based on policyholder account balances, the Company’s largest distributor accounted for approximately 24% and 22% of total deferred annuity reserves as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. It is possible that a change in the Company’s relationship with this distributor could result in the loss of existing business and a large outflow of the Company’s general account assets along with the subsequent loss of the investment spread earned on those assets.
The second concentration risk arises from the Company’s use of reinsurance. The exposure risk from the variable annuity sales is mitigated by the use of reinsurance. The Company has entered into a 50% modified coinsurance agreement with ONLIC, the parent company. The Company has also entered into a 100% coinsurance agreement with ONLIC, the parent company, on the guaranty benefit riders. If the Company is unable to continue to negotiate acceptable coinsurance arrangements in the future, management could be required to limit future annuity sales, seek additional capital, or both.
Reinsurance Risk is the risk that the Company will experience a decline in the availability of financially stable reinsurers for its ongoing business needs. The Company has entered into reinsurance contracts to cede a portion of its general account life and annuity business. Total amounts recoverable under these reinsurance contracts include ceded reserves, paid and unpaid claims, and certain other amounts, which totaled $37,041 and $40,711 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The ceding of risk does not discharge the Company, as the original insurer, from its primary obligation to the contract holder.
Equity Market Risk is the risk of loss due to declines in the equity markets that the Company participates in. The Company’s primary equity risk relates to the Company’s individual variable annuity contracts which offer guaranteed benefit riders. There are four main types of benefits: guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB), guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB), guaranteed minimum account benefit (GMAB) and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB). The GMDB generally provides a benefit if the annuitant dies and the contract value is less than a specified amount. The specified amount may be based on the premiums paid, a contract value on a specified anniversary date or premiums paid increased by an annual interest rate factor, all of which are adjusted for amounts withdrawn. A decline in the stock market causing the contract value to fall below this specified amount, which varies from contract to contract, will increase the net amount at risk (the GMDB in excess of the contract value), which could result in additional GMDB

claims. The GMIB provides a benefit if the annuitant elects to receive an annuitization benefit after a ten year window from rider issue. The annuitization base is equal to premiums less withdrawals rolled up at 5.5% annually. The GMAB provides a benefit of return of premium (less withdrawals) at the end of ten years. The GMWB is similar to the GMAB except the policyholder is allowed to make periodic withdrawals instead of waiting for the benefit in a lump sum at the end of ten years. The Company refers to the total of these four classes as the G reserves.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, direct G reserves were $997 and $149, ceded G reserves were $581 and $149 and net G reserves were $416 and $0, respectively.
The total amount at risk under GMDB guarantees is determined by comparing each contract’s account value at the end of the year to the GMDB amount. The total amount at risk under GMDB features as of December 31, 2008 was $23.5 million, of which $0 was reinsured, with a net amount at risk of $23.5 million. The total amount at risk under GMDB features as of December 31, 2007 was $0.4 million, of which $0 was reinsured, with a net amount at risk of $0.4 million. All Separate Account assets associated with these contracts are invested in shares of various mutual funds offered by the Company and its sub advisors. The weighted averaged attained age of GMDB contract holders was 64 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The total amount at risk under GMIB guarantees is determined by comparing each contract’s account value at the end of the year to the GMIB amount. The total amount at risk under GMIB features as of December 31, 2008 was $22.4 million, of which $22.4 million was reinsured, with a net amount at risk of zero. The total amount at risk under GMIB features as of December 31, 2007 was $0.7 million, of which $0.7 million was reinsured, with a net amount at risk of zero. All Separate Account assets associated with these contracts are invested in shares of various mutual funds offered by the Company and its sub advisors. The weighted averaged attained age of GMIB contract holders was 62 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The total amount at risk under GMAB and GMWB guarantees is determined by comparing each contract’s account value at the end of the year to the GMAB and GMWB amount. The total amount at risk under GMAB and GMWB features as of December 31, 2008 was $1.9 million, of which $1.9 was reinsured, with a net amount at risk of zero. The total amount at risk under GMAB and GMWB features as of December 31, 2007 was $0.02 million, of which $0.02 was reinsured, with a net amount at risk of zero. All Separate Account assets associated with these contracts are invested in shares of various mutual funds offered by the Company and its sub advisors. The weighted averaged attained age of GMAB and GMWB contract holders was 60 and 62 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that materially affect financial reporting are summarized below. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which differ from statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities (see note 3).
  (a)   Valuation of Investments, Related Gains and Losses, and Investment Income
 
      Fixed maturity securities supporting the funds withheld reinsurance arrangements are classified as trading and are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses included in the accompanying statements of operations. Fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred federal income tax, reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.
 
      The fair value of fixed maturity securities is generally obtained from independent pricing services based on market quotations. For fixed maturity securities not priced by independent services (generally private placement securities and securities that do not trade regularly), an internally developed pricing model or “internal pricing matrix” is most often used. The internal pricing matrix is developed by obtaining spreads for corporate securities with varying weighted average lives and bond ratings. The weighted average life and bond rating of a particular fixed maturity security to be priced using the internal matrix are important inputs into the model and are used to determine a corresponding spread that is added to the appropriate U.S. Treasury yield to create an estimated market yield for that bond. The estimated market yield and other relevant factors are then used to estimate the fair value of the particular fixed maturity security. Additionally, for valuing certain fixed maturity securities with complex cash flows such as certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, management determines the fair value using other modeling techniques, primarily a commercial software application utilized in valuing complex securitized investments with variable cash flows. As of December 31, 2008, 93.0% of the fair values of fixed maturity securities were obtained from independent pricing services, 6.0% from the Company’s pricing matrices and 1.0% from other sources.
 
      For mortgage-backed securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield method based on prepayment assumptions and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimated prepayments differ significantly from actual prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. All other investment income is recorded using the interest method without anticipating the impact of prepayments.
 
      Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at the unpaid principal balance less valuation allowances. The Company provides valuation allowances for impairments of mortgage loans on real estate based on a review by portfolio managers. Mortgage loans on real estate are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When management

      determines that a loan is impaired, a provision for loss is established equal to the difference between the carrying value and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, at the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. In addition to the valuation allowance on specific loans, the Company maintains an unallocated allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date, but not yet specifically identified by loan. Changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in net realized gains and losses. Loans in foreclosure and loans considered to be impaired as of the balance sheet date are placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on nonaccrual status mortgage loans on real estate are included in net investment income in the period received.
 
      The valuation allowance account for mortgage loans on real estate is maintained at a level believed adequate by management and reflects management’s best estimate of probable credit losses, including losses incurred at the balance sheet date but not yet identified by specific loan. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors.
 
      Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the basis of specific security identification on the trade date. Estimates for valuation allowances and other-than-temporary declines of the fair value of invested assets are included in realized gains and losses on investments.
 
      Management regularly reviews its fixed maturity securities portfolios to evaluate the necessity of recording impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in fair value of investments. The process involves monitoring market events that could impact issuers’ credit ratings, business climate, management changes, litigation and government actions, and other similar factors. This process also involves monitoring late payments, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.
 
      At the end of each quarter, all fixed maturity securities are reviewed to determine whether impairments should be recorded. For those fixed maturity securities where fair value is 50% or less of amortized cost for one month or less than 80% of amortized cost for six consecutive months or more, additional analysis is prepared which focuses on each issuer’s ability to service its debts and the length of time and extent the security has been valued below cost. This process includes an assessment of the credit quality of each investment in the entire securities portfolio. Additionally, other circumstances may be identified which cause analysis of individual securities, such as rapid declines in fair value, bankruptcies, and downgrades.
 
      The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include (1) the current fair value of the security as compared to cost, (2) the length of time the fair value has been below cost, (3) the financial position of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events, (4) any items specifically pledged to support the credit along with any other security interests

      or collateral, and (5) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value.
 
      For securities not subject to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, as amended by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) EITF 99-20-1 (EITF 99-20), an other-than-temporary charge is taken when the Company does not have the ability and intent to hold the security until the forecasted recovery or if it is no longer probable that the Company will collect amounts due under the contractual terms of the security.
 
      To the extent the Company determines that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired (OTI), the difference between amortized cost and fair value would be charged to income as a realized investment loss, resulting in a permanent reduction to the cost basis of the underlying investment.
 
      There are a number of significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the process of monitoring impairments and determining if impairment is other-than-temporary. These risks and uncertainties include (1) the risk that the Company’s assessment of an issuer’s ability to meet all of its contractual obligations will change based on changes in the credit characteristics of that issuer, (2) the risk that the economic outlook will be worse than expected or have more of an impact on the issuer than anticipated, (3) the risk that fraudulent information could be provided to the Company’s investment professionals who determine the fair value estimates and other-than-temporary impairments, and (4) the risk that new information obtained by the Company or changes in other facts and circumstances lead the Company to change its intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value. Any of these situations are reasonably possible and could result in a charge to income in a future period.
 
      Interest is accrued as earned using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
 
  (b)   Revenues and Benefits
 
      Traditional Life Insurance Products: Premiums for traditional life insurance products assumed, which includes those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist principally of term life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits are associated with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contract. This association is accomplished through the provision for future policy benefits.
 
      Investment Products: Investment products consist of variable annuities and variable universal life. Revenues for investment products and universal life insurance products consist of net investment income, cost of insurance charges, asset fees, policy administration fees, and surrender charges that have been earned and assessed against policy account balances during the period. The timing of revenue recognition as it relates to fees assessed on investment contracts and universal life contracts is determined based upon the nature of such fees. Cost of insurance charges and policy

      administration fees are assessed on a daily, monthly or annual basis, and recognized as revenue when assessed and earned. Certain amounts assessed that represent compensation for services to be provided in future periods are reported as unearned revenue and recognized in income over the periods benefited. Surrender charges are recognized upon surrender of a contract in accordance with contractual terms. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefits and claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances, maintenance costs, and interest credited to policy account balances.
 
  (c)   Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
 
      The recoverable costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, certain expenses of the policy issue and underwriting department and certain variable sales expenses that relate to and vary with the production of new and renewal business have been capitalized. For investment and universal life products, deferred acquisition costs (DAC) is being amortized with interest over the lives of the policies in relation to the present value of the estimated future gross profits from projected interest margins, asset fees, cost of insurance charges, policy administration fees, surrender charges, and net realized gains and losses less policy benefits and policy maintenance expenses.
 
      The most significant assumptions that are involved in the estimation of future gross profits include future net separate account performance, surrender/lapse rates, interest margins and mortality. The Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account performance is 9.75%, a blend of expected returns from stock, money market and bond funds after deductions for policy charges. The Company assumes that the level of separate account assets resulting from market performance will revert, over a three year period, to the level expected if the long-term assumed trend rate had applied. This assumption to the estimation of long-term returns is commonly referred to as a reversion to the mean. The Company’s policy regarding the reversion to the mean process does not permit projected returns to be below (1.64)% or in excess of 14.47% during the three-year reversion period.
 
      Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on the amount of DAC reported for investment products and universal life insurance products and their related amortization patterns. In the event actual experience differs from assumptions or assumptions are revised, the Company is required to record an increase or decrease in DAC amortization expense (DAC unlocking), which could be significant. In general, increases in the estimated general and separate account returns result in increased expected future profitability and may lower the rate of DAC amortization, while increases in lapse/surrender and mortality assumptions reduce the expected future profitability of the underlying business and may increase the rate of DAC amortization. Any resulting DAC unlocking adjustments are reflected currently in the statement of operations.
 
      The Company offers certain sales inducements to contract holders. Sales inducements are product features that enhance the investment yield on a contract. The Company utilizes the following sales inducements: day-one bonuses, which increase the account value at inception, and enhanced yield options which credit interest for a specified period in excess of rates currently being offered for other similar contracts. Sales inducement costs are deferred and amortized using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize capitalized acquisition costs.

  (d)   Separate Accounts
 
      Separate Account assets and liabilities represent contract holders’ funds, which have been segregated into accounts with specific investment objectives. Separate account assets are recorded at fair value based primarily on market quotations of the underlying securities. The investment income and gains or losses of these accounts accrue directly to the contract holders. The activity of the Separate Accounts is not reflected in the statements of income and cash flows except for the fees the Company receives for administrative services and risks assumed and the activity related to guaranteed contracts, which are riders to existing variable annuity contracts.
 
  (e)   Future Policy Benefits
 
      Future policy benefits for traditional life insurance policies have been calculated using a net level premium method based on estimates of mortality, morbidity, investment yields, and withdrawals which were used or which were being experienced at the time the policies were issued. The liabilities for life reserves may be greater or less than those established by the ceding companies due to their use of different mortality and other assumptions (see note 7).
 
      Future policy benefits for investment products in the accumulation phase and universal life insurance products have been calculated based on participants’ contributions plus interest credited less applicable contract charges (see note 7).
 
      The Company issues traditional variable annuity contracts through its separate accounts, for which investment income and gains and losses on investments accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder. The Company also issues non-traditional variable annuity contracts in which the Company provides various forms of guarantees to benefit the related contract holders. The Company’s GMDB claim reserves are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits on contracts that trigger a policy benefit and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance as appropriate, with a related charge or credit to benefits and claims in the period of evaluation if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.
 
      In 2003, the Company began selling a GMIB rider. This rider, which is issued through age 80, provides for a guaranteed minimum fixed income in the form of a monthly annuity. The monthly income is determined by applying a guaranteed income base to the annuity tables in the rider. The guaranteed income base is the greater of (a) the premiums increased at 5.50% per year (4% for rider issue ages 76-80) until age 85, with adjustment for withdrawals or (b) the highest contract anniversary value prior to age 80. The amount for the latter during a period between contract anniversaries is determined by increasing the previous anniversary value by additional premiums and adjusting it, on a pro rata basis, for withdrawals. GMIB claim reserves are determined each period by estimating the expected value of annuitization benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total assessments. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional

      liability balance as appropriate, with a related charge or credit to benefits and claims in the period of evaluation, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.
 
      In 2004, the Company began selling a GMAB rider, in which the account value on the tenth anniversary will not be less than the remaining initial premium. A GMAB represents an embedded derivative in the variable annuity contract that is required to be separated from, and valued apart from, the host variable annuity contract. The embedded derivative is carried at fair value and reported in future policy benefits and claims. The fair value of GMAB embedded derivative is calculated based on actuarial assumptions related to projected benefit cash flows, incorporating numerous assumptions, including but not limited to, expectations of contract holder persistency, market returns, correlations of market returns and market return volatility.
 
      In 2005, the Company began selling two versions of a GMWB rider that guarantee, in the case of one version, 7% and in the alternate version 8%, withdrawals of the premium per year for 10 years and at the tenth anniversary, the account value will not be less than the remaining premium. A GMWB represents an embedded derivative in the variable annuity contract that is required to be separated from, and valued apart from, the host variable annuity contract. The embedded derivative is carried at fair value and reported in future policy benefits and claims. The fair value of GMWB embedded derivative is calculated based on actuarial assumptions related to projected benefit cash flows, incorporating numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, expectations of contract holder persistency, market returns, correlations of market returns and market return volatility.
 
  (f)   Reinsurance
 
      Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts, and are consistent with the risk assumed. Assets and liabilities related to reinsurance are reported on a gross basis.
 
  (g)   Income Taxes
 
      Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be fully realized.
 
      In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers the carryback capacity to absorb losses, reversal of existing temporary differences, estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The determination of the valuation allowance for the company’s deferred tax

      assets requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions regarding future operations that are based on historical experience and expectations of future performance. Management’s judgments are subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future performance, which is impacted by such factors as policyholder behavior, competitive pricing, and specific industry and market conditions.
 
      The Company files separately its own Federal income tax return, but will be included as a member of the life/nonlife consolidated Federal income tax return of its ultimate parent, ONMH, in 2013.
 
  (h)   Cash Equivalents
 
      For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
  (i)   Use of Estimates
 
      In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
 
      The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining the balance, amortization and recoverability of deferred policy acquisition costs, the liability for future policy benefits and claims, contingencies, income taxes, valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate, impairment losses on investments and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, the recorded amounts reflect management’s best estimates based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet date. Management believes the amounts provided are appropriate.
 
  (j)   Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
      In connection with acquisitions of operating entities, the Company recognizes the excess of the purchased price over the fair value of net assets acquired as goodwill. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill is not amortized, but rather is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, using December 31 financial information. The reporting unit is the operating segment or a business one level below the operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. The evaluation is completed at least annually and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
 
      The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires several judgments and assumptions to be made to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. A two-step goodwill impairment test is utilized to identify and measure potential goodwill impairment. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the impairment.

      In the second step, if the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill becomes its new accounting basis (see note 12).
 
      The Company’s only intangible asset is related to insurance licenses acquired with the purchase of the Company. In accordance with GAAP, the intangible asset, as it relates to insurance licenses, is not amortized, but rather is evaluated for impairment, using December 31 license standing information. The value of the intangible and any impairment assessment associated with that intangible is primarily dependent upon the maintenance of the New York license (see note 12). License fees are paid annually in order to keep the license in good standing.
 
  (k)   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
      In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-2 and Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on other-than-temporary impairments is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition, and provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The measure of impairment in comprehensive income remains fair value. The FSP also requires increased and more timely disclosures sought by investors regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. The FSP 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, but entities may early adopt it for the interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adoption.
 
      In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board opinion (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. The FSP now requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. The FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, but entities may early adopt it for the interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adoption.
 
      In January 2009, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20 (FSP EITF 99-20-1). FSP EITF 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. FSP EITF 99-20-1 is effective for interim and

      annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and will be applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not permitted. The Company has adopted FSP EITF 99-20-1 effective December 31, 2008 and will apply the standard prospectively, as is required.
 
      In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what Statement 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement — to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, but entities may early adopt it for the interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adoption.
 
      In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (FSP FAS 157-3). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
      In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy). The Company adopted SFAS 162 effective November 15, 2008. On the date of adoption, there was no impact on the Company’s current practices.
 
      In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The amended factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 are to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The Company does not expect the new factors to materially change the Company’s current methodologies.
 
      In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of SFAS No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 seeks to improve

      financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding the impact on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. To achieve this increased transparency, SFAS 161 requires (1) the disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and gains and losses in a tabular format; (2) the disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related; and (3) cross-referencing within the footnotes. The Company adopted SFAS 161 effective December 31, 2008. The provisions of SFAS 161 were applied as required by the Company on the adoption date.
 
      In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). This Statement replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual contingencies, any contingent consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. SFAS 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other values determined in accordance with SFAS 141(R)). In addition, SFAS 141(R)’s requirement to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling interest in addition to that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It also amends SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to, among other things, provide guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible assets and assets that the acquirer intends not to use. The provisions of SFAS 141(R) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and are to be applied prospectively only. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt SFAS 141 (R) effective January 1, 2009 and will apply it to any business combination on or after that date.
 
      In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statements No 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. In addition, SFAS 159 does not establish requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income or interest expense, nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including

      requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), and SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not apply the fair value option to any existing financial assets or liabilities as of January 1, 2008. Consequently, the initial adoption of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company will assess the fair value election for new financial assets and liabilities prospectively.
 
      In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also provides guidance regarding the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement 157, which permits the deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company plans to utilize the deferral for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See note 5 for the required disclosures.
 
      In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income-statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 does not change the SEC’s previous guidance in SAB No. 99 on evaluating the materiality of misstatements. A registrant applying the new guidance for the first time that identifies material errors in existence at the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, may correct those errors through a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The cumulative effect alternative is available only if the application of the new guidance results in a conclusion that a material error exists as of the beginning of the fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, and those misstatements were determined to be immaterial based on a proper application of the registrant’s previous method for quantifying misstatements. Because of the beginning-of-year recognition of the cumulative effect adjustment, misstatements occurring in the year of adoption cannot be included in that adjustment. SAB 108 requires the following disclosures if a cumulative effect adjustment is recorded: the nature and amount of each individual error included in the cumulative effect adjustment; when and how each error arose; and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial. The cumulative effect adjustment is available only for prior-year uncorrected misstatements. The adjustment should not include amounts related to

      changes in accounting estimates. SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
 
      In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Fin 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. On the date of adoption, there was no impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
 
      In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140). SFAS 155 also resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The following is a summary of SFAS No. 155: (1) permits an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings; (2) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (3) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (4) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (5) amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Provisions of SFAS 155 may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted SFAS 155 effective January 1, 2007. On the date of adoption, there was no impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
      In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts (SOP 05-1). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains

      and Losses from the Sale of Investments, issued by the FASB. SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs as a result of the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement or rider to a contract, or by the election of a new feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. Retrospective application of SOP 05-1 to previously issued financial statements is not permitted. Initial application of SOP 05-1 is required as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. The Company adopted SOP 05-1 effective January 1, 2007. The Company recorded no cumulative effect adjustment related to this adoption and does not expect it to have a material impact on its ongoing financial position or results of operations.
 
  (l)   Additional Purchase by Majority Stockholder
 
      On March 30, 2007, ONLIC entered into a stock purchase agreement for ONLIC to purchase 2,927 shares of NSLAC from SML. As a result of the purchase, ONLIC’s ownership interest increased from 51.2% to 80.5%.
 
      The consideration for ONLIC’s acquisition of additional NSLAC shares consisted of a $6,000, 5.8% note issued by ONLIC that was fair valued at $5,727. The fair value estimate of the note was based on the 10 year Treasury note as of March 31, 2007 with a 4.65% risk free rate plus 155 basis points.
 
      ONLIC’s purchase of additional NSLAC shares was accounted for similar to a business combination in accordance with SFAS 141 Business Combinations. The percentage of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of March 31, 2007. A final allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at March 31, 2007 is presented below. This allocation is based upon valuations using management’s assumptions and estimates. Adjustments to record the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value include allocations of negative goodwill to the value of previously recognized goodwill, intangibles, and DAC.

      As a result of the purchase price allocation, goodwill, intangible assets representing insurance licenses and DAC were decreased by $233, $80, $415, respectively. There was a corresponding decrease in additional paid-in capital for $583, net of tax of $145. 29.3% of the retained deficit at March 31, 2007 was also reclassified from retained deficit to additional paid-in capital to eliminate the historical retained deficit related to the additional shares purchased. The amount of the retained deficit reclassification was $803.
(3)   Basis of Presentation
 
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which differs from statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Insurance Department (the Department). Annual Statements for the Company, filed with the Department, are prepared on a basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not prescribed. The Company has no permitted statutory accounting practices. The 2008 statutory results are unaudited as of the date of this report.
 
    The statutory basis net loss of NSLAC was $2,704, $799, and $715 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The statutory basis capital and surplus of NSLAC was $16,748 and $19,218 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The primary reasons for the differences between statutory accounting and GAAP accounting are that, for GAAP reporting purposes: (1) the costs related to acquiring business, principally commissions and certain policy issue expenses, are amortized over the period benefited rather than charged to income in the year incurred; (2) future policy benefit reserves are based on anticipated Company experience for lapses, mortality and investment yield, rather than statutory

    SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company plans to utilize the deferral for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, in accordance with FSP FAS 157-2.
 
    In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety.
 
    The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet as follows:
    Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices accessible in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 valuations include money market funds and bank deposits.
 
    Level 2 — Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable or that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means. The types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 valuations generally include U.S. Government agency securities, municipal bonds, certain mortgage-backed securities (MBSs), certain corporate debt, certain private placements, certain foreign government debt securities, and certain derivatives.
 
    Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate about the assumptions market participants would use at the measurement date in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in both the method of valuation and the valuation inputs. Generally, the types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 valuations are embedded derivatives associated with living benefit contracts.

Determination of fair values
The valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities under the “exit price” notion of SFAS 157 reflect market-participant objectives and are based on the application of the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable market inputs over unobservable inputs. The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company also determines fair value based on future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. Fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and, where appropriate, risk margins on unobservable parameters. The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values for the financial instruments listed in the above table.

Cash
Cash is considered Level 1 for the purposes of our SFAS 157 classification as it is the functional currency in the U.S. and is the most liquid form of an asset and not subject to valuation fluctuations. The Company holds investments in repurchase agreements that are considered to be cash equivalents as defined in note 2(h). The Company classifies the fair values of investments held in repurchase agreements as Level 2 since the value is based on market observable data.
Fixed Maturity Securities
As discussed in note 2(a), fair value of fixed maturity securities is generally obtained from independent pricing services based on reported trades for identical or similar securities. If there are no recent reported trades, the third party pricing services may use matrix or model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based on collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. Since these fair values have been priced using market observable inputs that are obtained by the independent pricing services, the Company has classified these fair values within Level 2.
As discussed in note 2(a), fixed maturity securities not priced by independent services are generally priced using an internal pricing matrix. The internal pricing matrix is developed by obtaining spreads for corporate securities with varying weighted average lives and bond ratings. The weighted average life and bond rating of a particular fixed maturity security to be priced using the internal matrix are important inputs into the model and are used to determine a corresponding spread that is added to the appropriate U.S. Treasury yield to create an estimated market yield for that bond. The estimated market yield and other relevant factors are then used to estimate the fair value of the particular fixed maturity security. Since the inputs used for the internal pricing matrix are observable market data, the Company has classified these fair values within Level 2.
GMAB and GMWB Embedded Derivatives
The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefit riders. GMAB and GMWB riders are embedded derivatives which are measured at estimated fair value separately from the host variable annuity contract. For GMAB and GMWB embedded derivatives, the same valuation methodology is applied per above except the fair value for these riders is estimated using the Company’s nonperformance risk in the credit adjustment to the present value of the future cash flows.
The fair value of these derivatives are modeled using significant unobservable policyholder behavior inputs, such as lapses, fund selection, resets and withdrawal utilization, and risk margins. As a result, the GMAB and GMWB embedded derivatives are categorized as Level 3.

Separate account assets are recorded at fair value based primarily on market quotations of the underlying securities. The underlying securities are mutual funds that are fair valued using the reported net asset value. The Company classifies the separate account assets valuation as Level 2 since the net asset value is calculated using market observable data and the mutual funds are restricted to variable annuity policyholders.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
The table below summarizes the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances and related changes for fair value measurements for which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining each instrument’s fair value as follows:

2   Unrealized investment gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income include changes in market value of certain instruments.
Level 3 Asset Transfers
The Company will review its fair value hierarchy classifications annually. Changes in the observability of significant valuation inputs identified during these reviews may trigger reclassification of fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2008, there were no net transfers to or from Level 3.
SFAS 107: Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments. SFAS 107 excludes certain assets and liabilities, including insurance contracts, other than policies such as annuities that are classified as investment contracts, from its disclosure requirements. The Company’s assets and liabilities subject to SFAS 107 disclosure that have not been presented at fair value in the SFAS 157 tables above are presented in the table below as follows:

    In estimating the fair value for financial instruments, the Company used the following methods and assumptions:
 
    Investment contracts — The fair value for the Company’s liabilities under investment type contracts is estimated using one of two methods. For investment contracts without defined maturities, fair value is the amount payable on demand, net of certain surrender charges. For investment contracts with known or determined maturities, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. Cash flows are discounted at a rate that reflects the nonperformance risk of the Company.
 
    Reinsurance payables — The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments approximates their fair value.

The majority of the increases in the Company’s unrealized losses reflected in the tables above from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 were attributable to corporate securities and mortgage-backed securities. The increase in unrealized losses on corporate securities was primarily due to significant increases in credit spreads, illiquid markets, and volatility in investment quality ratings as a result of the credit market disruptions in the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase in unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities was primarily due to an increase in credit spreads and decrease in market liquidity resulting from concern about mortgage defaults.
Securities with unrealized losses for less than twelve consecutive months included 30 issues with a carrying value of $8,346 and unrealized losses of $919 at December 31, 2008; and 6 issues with a carrying value of $1,859 and unrealized losses of $148 at December 31, 2007. Of this portfolio, 96.7% and 100% were investment grade (rated AAA through BBB-), with associated unrealized losses of $919 and $148 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Securities with unrealized losses for twelve consecutive months or longer included 18 issues with a carrying value of $4,083 and unrealized losses of $1,552 at December 31, 2008; and 38 issues with a carrying value of $13,298 and unrealized losses of $702 at December 31, 2007. Of this portfolio, 66.7% and 77.6% were investment grade, with associated unrealized losses of $784 and $306 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Fixed maturities with a fair value to amortized cost ratio less than 80% for six consecutive months or longer are considered potentially distressed securities and are subject to rigorous ongoing review. There were 5 and 1 issues with a fair value to amortized cost ratio of less than 80% for 6 months or longer as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These securities had a carrying value of $978, $183 and unrealized losses of $764, $66 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There were 11 and 4 issues with a fair value to amortized cost ratio of less than 80% for less than 6 months as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These securities had a carrying value of $2,740, $1,133 and unrealized losses of $974, $366 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As described more fully in note 2(a), the Company regularly reviews its investment holdings for other-than-temporary impairments. Based upon this review, the Company believes that the securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were not other-than-temporary impaired due to the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for recovery of fair value.

    Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale and trading (excluding calls) during 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $4,869, $3,417, and $6,686, respectively. Gross realized gains of $0 ($172 in 2007 and $184 in 2006) and gross losses of $25 ($2 in 2007 and $66 in 2006) were realized on those sales.
 
    Investments with a fair value of $1,892 and $1,916 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were on deposit with various regulatory agencies as required by law.
 
(7)   Future Policy Benefits and Claims
 
    The liability for future policy benefits for investment contracts (approximately 71% and 61% of the total liability for future policy benefits as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively) has been established based on accumulated contract values without reduction for surrender penalty provisions. The average interest rate credited on investment product policies was 2.8%, 3.4%, and 3.6% for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
 
    The liability for future policy benefits for traditional life products is based on mortality and interest rate assumptions without consideration for withdrawals. The assumptions used are the 1980 CSO mortality table with 4% to 6% interest, and 1958 CSO mortality table with 3% to 4.5% interest.
 
(8)   Income Tax
 
    The Company provides for income taxes based on amounts the Company believes it will ultimately owe in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. The Company adopted the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (FIN 48) on January 1, 2007 along with its direct subsidiaries, because of selling variable annuities as required by FSP FIN 48-b. No adjustment was necessary for the cumulative effect related to the adoption of FIN 48. The need for reserves is reviewed regularly and is adjusted as events occur that the Company believes impacts its liability for additional taxes. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48.

    In August, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54 which would have substantially changed accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing the computation of the Dividends Received Deduction (DRD) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life contracts. However, the ruling was suspended by Revenue Ruling 2007-61 which also announced the IRS’s intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the DRD. Although regulations that represent a substantial change in an interpretation of the law are generally given a prospective effective date, prospective application is not guaranteed. As a result, depending on the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations, which are unknown at this time, such future regulations could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives. During 2008, 2007, and 2006 the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $52, $52, and $52, respectively, related to the separate account DRD and is reflected as a component of tax-preferred investment income in the rate reconciliation above.
 
    The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits, claims, and adjustments is to record such amount as a component of income taxes.

The tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities that give rise to significant components of the net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 relate to the following:

    In accessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, and available tax planning strategies, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of existing valuation allowances, at December 31, 2008.
 
    On March 31, 2007, additional stock shares of the Company were obtained by ONLIC thereby increasing its ownership greater than 80%. Under IRC regulations, the Company must wait five full years before joining life/nonlife consolidated federal income tax return on January 1, 2013. The losses incurred after March 31, 2007, must be carried forward. The Company believes these net operating losses of $2,511 will be utilized before they expire in 2022 and 2023. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $3,432 incurred through March 31, 2007 expiring in years 2017 through 2022 that can only be used to

    offset future taxable income of the Company. The Company believes it is unlikely these net operating losses will be fully utilized within the allowable carryforward period and established the valuation allowance using the lowest enacted tax rate of 35%. The change in the valuation allowance for period ending December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $0, $(51), and $795, respectively.
 
(9)   Regulatory Risk-Based Capital and Dividend Restrictions
 
    As of December 31, 2008, NSLAC exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements as established by the NAIC.
 
    The Company did not pay any dividends in 2008, 2007, or 2006. The Company cannot pay any dividends in 2009 without prior approval by the Department.
 
(10)   Contingencies
 
    The Company is currently not a defendant in litigation arising in and out of the normal course of business.
 
(11)   Reinsurance
 
    The Company has entered into reinsurance transactions with other insurance companies. Reinsurance involves either ceding certain risks to or assuming risks from other insurance companies. The primary purpose of ceded reinsurance is to protect the Company from potential losses in excess of levels that it is prepared to accept. Reinsurance does not discharge the Company from its primary liability to policyholders and to the extent that a reinsurer should be unable to meet its obligations, the Company would be liable to policyholders. The Company ceded 100% of the gross earned life premiums during 2008, 2007, and 2006, as this business is in run-off.
 
    The Company has entered into a 50% modified coinsurance agreement with ONLIC, to facilitate the sale of variable annuity products. As these are deposit type products, there is no impact on reported premiums. Modified coinsurance on a funds withheld basis is subject to the parameters of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) Issue B36, Modified Coinsurance Arrangements and Debt Instruments That Incorporate Credit Risk Exposures That Are Unrelated or Only Partially Related to the Creditworthiness of the Obligor under Those Instruments (DIG B36). DIG B36 requires the bifurcation and valuation of the embedded derivative associated with a funds withheld contract. The change in the value of this derivative is shown on the face of the statements of operations, in the change in value of reinsurance derivatives. The Company recorded an asset of $208 and $234 related to this agreement as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This asset is shown on the face of the balance sheet in the reinsurance recoverables category of the assets section. The modified coinsurance receivable is equal to the change in policyholder account value less the interest earned on the assets withheld. Under modified coinsurance with funds withheld, the Company retains and invests all of the associated assets and provides monthly settlements with its reinsurers based on all income, benefit and expense items.
 
    Effective July 1, 2007, the Company entered into a 100% coinsurance agreement with ONLIC to reinsure the GMIB, GMAB, and GMWB guaranteed benefit riders (see note 1). Prior to July 1, 2007, the GMIB, GMAB, and GMWB guaranteed benefit riders were reinsured with either ONLIC or a non-affiliated

    On April 24, 2006, NSLAC released funds withheld of $10,530 to SCOR VIE, a foreign insurer. Due to interest accrued on the funds withheld of $541 and a withdrawal and expenses of $967, the amount of cash remitted was $10,104. Prior to releasing the funds withheld to SCOR VIE, a letter of credit was established for $4,967 supporting reserves of $4,750 as of December 31, 2006.

    The Company’s only intangible asset is related to insurance licenses acquired with the purchase of the Company. The value of the intangible is primarily dependent upon the maintenance of the New York license. License fees are paid annually in order to maintain the license in good standing. As this license remains in good standing with all regulatory requirements met, no impairment was recognized on this asset.
 
    The goodwill asset is also entirely attributable to the original purchase of the Company. Based upon impairment testing for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 no impairment was deemed necessary.
 
(13)   Related Party Transactions
 
    As discussed below, the Company has service contracts with affiliated companies whereby the Company is billed for services, office space, equipment and materials necessary to the operation of the Company’s business. Billings are determined by ONLIC, based upon multiple bases (head counts, salaries, number of policies, policy face amounts, field compensation, time, age, sex, assets, account balances, transaction counts, etc.) and management believes these bases are reasonable for determining the expense charges. There is no assurance that these costs would be similar if the Company had to obtain such services, office space, equipment and materials on its own.
 
    NSLAC has separate administrative service agreements with ONLIC and SML, an investment management agreement with Ohio National Investments, Inc. (ONI), an affiliate, and an underwriting agreement with Ohio National Equities, Inc. (ONEQ), an affiliate. The terms of these agreements call for periodic cash settlements. ONLIC has settled its cash obligations with NSLAC as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The amounts that NSLAC owed to ONLIC, SML, ONII and ONEQ as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows, which are shown on the face of the balance sheet:

 Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 
 
The underlying mutual funds in which the subaccounts invest are diversified open-end management investment companies. The underlying mutual funds’ investments are subject to varying degrees of market, interest and financial risks; the issuers’ abilities to meet certain obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries.
 
Some of the underlying mutual funds have been established by investment advisers that manage other mutual funds having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the underlying mutual funds may have holdings that are comparable to other similarly-named mutual funds, they may not be identical in portfolio management, composition, objective, or investment strategy. Consequently, the investment performance of an underlying mutual fund and a similarly-named fund may differ substantially.
 
Ohio National Investments, Inc. (“ONI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ONLIC, performs investment advisory services on behalf of the Ohio National Fund, Inc. in which the Account invests. For these services, ONI received advisory fees, paid by Ohio National Fund, Inc., of approximately $14.5 million and $17.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Contract owners may, with certain restrictions, transfer their assets between the Account and a fixed dollar contract maintained in the general account of NSLA. The accompanying financial statements include only the contract owners’ purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for the fixed portions of their contracts.
 
For certain products, NSLA credits an extra amount to the contract holder’s contract each time a purchase payment is made. The extra credit equals 4% of each purchase payment.
 
C. Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income
 
The fair value of the underlying mutual funds is based on the closing net asset value of fund shares held at December 31, 2008. Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income from dividends and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of average cost.
 
D. Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
(2)  Risk & Administrative Expense and Contract Charges
 
Although annuity and death benefit payments differ according to the investment performance of the underlying subaccounts, they are not affected by mortality or expense experience because NSLA assumes the expense risk and the mortality risk under the contracts. NSLA charges the Accounts’ assets for assuming those risks.
 
The mortality risk results from a provision in the contract in which NSLA agrees to make annuity payments regardless of how long a particular annuitant or other payee lives and how long all annuitants or other payees as a class live if payment options involving life contingencies are chosen. Those annuity payments are determined in accordance with annuity purchase rate provisions established at the time the contracts are issued.
 
At the end of each valuation period, NSLA charges a mortality and expense risk fee and a fee for recovery of administrative expenses. Both fees are calculated based on net assets at the end of the valuation period and a pre-determined annualized rate as stated in the product prospectuses. Administrative expenses include costs associated with providing accounting, administrative, compliance and legal services necessary to support issuance and maintenance of contracts. The expense risk assumed by NSLA is the risk that the deductions provided for in the variable annuity contracts may be insufficient to cover the actual costs to administer the terms stated in the contracts.
 
All other fees assessed on contracts, including surrender charges, annual contract fee, transfer fees, and fees from optional riders are charged to contracts upon a surrender, anniversary, or transfer event. These charges are assessed through redemption

(4)  Federal Income Taxes
 
Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of NSLA which is taxed as an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Taxes are the responsibility of the contract owner upon surrender or withdrawal. No Federal income taxes are payable under the present law on dividend income or capital gains distribution from the Fund shares held in the Account or on capital gains realized by the Account upon redemption of the Fund shares. Accordingly, NSLA does not provide income taxes within the Account.
 
(5)  New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and requires new disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 also provides guidance regarding the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Account adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.
 
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Account generally uses a market approach as the calculation technique due to the nature of the mutual fund investments offered in the Account. This technique maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Account categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety.
 
The Account categorizes financial assets recorded at fair value as follows:
 
  Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices accessible in active markets for identical assets at the measurement date.
 
  Level 2:  Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable or that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means. The assets utilizing Level 2 valuations represent investments in privately-traded registered mutual funds only offered through insurance products.
 
  Level 3:  Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate about the assumptions market participants would use at the measurement date in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in both the method of valuation and the valuation inputs.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing each of the Portfolio’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2008:

 Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 
 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Account adopted SFAS 162 effective November 15, 2008. On the date of adoption, there was no impact on the Account’s current practices.

* This represents the annualized contract expense rate of the variable account for the period indicated and includes only those expenses that are charged through a reduction in the unit values. Excluded are expenses of the underlying mutual fund portfolios and charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units.
 
** This represents the total return for the period indicated and includes a deduction only for expenses assessed through the daily unit value calculation. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction of the total return presented. Investments with a date notation indicate the inception date of that investment in the Subaccount. The total return is calculated for the twelve month period indicated or from the inception date through the end of the period. In the first year of inception, the returns are based on the period from inception date to period end, and are not annualized.
 
*** Accumulation units are rounded to the nearest whole number.
 
**** The Investment Income Ratio represents the net investment income dividends that were received by the subaccount for the periods indicated, divided by average net assets (by product). Distributions of net capital gains by the underlying fund and expenses of the subaccount are not included in the calculation. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of dividends declared by the underlying fund. Therefore, the Investment Income Ratio is greatly affected by the amount of subaccount assets that are present on specific dividend record dates. The Investment Income Ratios for funds that were eligible for investment during only a portion of a year are calculated by dividing the actual dividends received by the average net assets for the period in which assets were present. The ratio is annualized in these instances.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 
 
The Board of Directors of National Security Life and Annuity Company
  and Contract Owners of National Security Variable Account N:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and contract owners’ equity of National Security Variable Account N (comprised of the sub-accounts listed in note 1) (collectively, “the Accounts”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations and changes in contract owners’ equity, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Accounts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures include confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Accounts as of December 31, 2008, the results of their operations, changes in contract owners’ equity, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

-6-


Table of Contents

Company represents that the fees and charges deducted under the contract, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed by National Security Life and Annuity Company.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement as frequently as is necessary to ensure audited financial statements in this registration statement are never more than 16 months old for so long as payments under variable annuity contracts may be accepted.
(c) The Registration hereby undertakes to include either (1) as part of any application to purchase any contract offered by the prospectus, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information, or (2) a post card or similar written communication affixed to or included in the prospectus that the applicant can remove to send for a Statement of Additional Information.
(d) The Registration hereby undertakes to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made under Form N-4 promptly upon written or oral request.
(e) Rule 484 Undertaking — Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.
(f) Undertaking to File Reports — National Security believes that, consistent with well established industry and SEC practice, the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to it as the depositor of one or more variable insurance product separate accounts. If such requirements are deemed to apply to it as such a depositor, National Security intends to rely on the exemption from such requirements provided by Rule 12h-7 under that Act.
