After the youngest person insured by the policy reaches age 100, the death benefit equals the accumulated value. --------------------------------------------------------- Choosing your death You can choose one of the following four options for benefit option the death benefit on your application. The graphs below help you compare the options using several hypothetical examples. Option A - the Option B - the face amount of face amount of your policy plus its accumulated your policy. value. [ILLUSTRATION [ILLUSTRATION APPEARS HERE] APPEARS HERE] The death benefit changes as your policy's accumulated value changes. The better your investment options perform, the larger the death benefit will be. Option C - the Option D - the face amount of face amount of your policy multiplied by a your policy plus death benefit factor. the total premiums you've paid minus any withdrawals or [ILLUSTRATION APPEARS HERE] distributions made. The death benefit gradually increases over time no matter how your investment options [ILLUSTRATION perform, as long as there is APPEARS HERE] enough accumulated value to keep your policy in force. The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the death benefit will be. 18 --------------------------------------------------------- How we calculate the death benefit for Option D If you choose Option D, we'll calculate the death benefit by multiplying the face amount by a death benefit factor. The death benefit factor is a number from 1.0 to 2.0. A factor of 1.0 means the death benefit equals the face amount. A factor of 2.0 means the death benefit is two times the face amount. The factor changes on each policy anniversary and is based on the joint equal age of the people insured by the policy and the number of completed policy years. Joint equal age is a calculation that blends the ages and insurance risks of the two people insured by the policy. Generally, the death benefit factor will reach the maximum of 2.0 when joint equal age plus the number of completed policy years is between 85 and 90. You'll find more information about how we calculate joint equal age in Appendix A. You'll find more information about the death benefit factor in Appendix D and in your policy. --------------------------------------------------------- The guideline The guideline minimum death benefit is the minimum minimum death death benefit needed for your policy to qualify as life benefit insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. If the amount of the death benefit under the If your policy's option you choose is less than the guideline minimum death benefit is death benefit, we'll adjust your death benefit to equal equal to the the guideline minimum death benefit. guideline minimum death benefit, and We calculate the guideline minimum death benefit by the net amount at multiplying the accumulated value of your policy by a risk is more than death benefit percentage.

The examples are intended only to show differences in death benefits and net amounts at risk. Accumulated value assumptions may not be realistic. Example A assumes These examples show that each death benefit option the following: provides a different level of protection. Keep in mind that cost of insurance charges, which affect your . the people policy's accumulated value, increase with the amount of insured by the the death benefit, as well as over time. The cost of policy are male insurance is charged at a rate per $1,000 of the and female non- discounted net amount at risk.

Example B uses the same assumptions as Example A, but has an accumulated value of $1,400,000. Because accumulated value has increased, the guideline minimum death benefit is now $1,680,000 ($1,400,000 times a death benefit factor of 120%).

We'll treat any payment you make during the life of your policy as a loan repayment, not as a premium payment, unless you tell us otherwise. When a payment, or any portion of it, exceeds your outstanding loan amount, we'll treat it as a premium payment. Some states may require us to consider your payments as premium payments if you have not given us instructions to do otherwise. Monthly Uni-check plan Once you've made your first premium payment, you can make monthly premium payments using our Uni-check plan. Here's how it works: . you authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account each month . you can choose any day between the 4th and 28th of the month . if you do not specify a day for us to make the withdrawal, we'll withdraw the premium payment on your policy's monthly anniversary. If your policy's monthly anniversary falls on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of the month, we'll withdraw the payment on the 4th of each month. 22 --------------------------------------------------------- Deductions from We deduct a premium load from each premium payment you your premiums make. The load is made up of three charges: Your net premium is Sales load your premium During the first 10 years of your policy, we deduct a payment less the 0% sales load from each premium payment you make. The premium load. sales load is 3% after the 10th policy year. This charge helps pay for the cost of distributing our policies and is guaranteed not to increase. If our sales and distribution expenses are more than the sales load, we can recover these expenses from other charges, such as the mortality and expense risk charge and the surrender charge, and from any mortality gains. State and local tax charge We deduct 2.35% from each premium payment to pay state and local premium and other taxes. The actual taxes we pay vary from state to state, and in some instances, among municipalities. This rate approximates the average rate we pay for all states. We do not expect to profit from this charge, and do not expect to change the rate unless the rate we pay increases. Federal tax charge We deduct 1.50% from each premium payment to pay federal taxes. We reserve the right to change this rate to respond to changes in law. --------------------------------------------------------- Allocating your We generally allocate your net premiums to the premiums investment options you've chosen on your application on the day we receive them.

Your policy's guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums appear on your policy's specification pages. We may refuse to accept all or part of a premium payment if, by accepting it, you will exceed your policy's guideline premium limit. If we find that you've exceeded your guideline premium limit, we may remove all or part of a premium you've paid from your policy as of the day we applied it, and return it to you. We'll adjust the death benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. 23 HOW PREMIUMS WORK You'll find a . If applying the premium in that policy year means your detailed discussion policy will become a modified endowment contract. of modified endowment contracts A life insurance policy will become a modified in Variable life endowment contract if the sum of premium payments made insurance and your during the first seven contract years, less a portion taxes. of withdrawals, exceeds the seven-pay limit defined in Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. Unless you've told us in writing that you want your policy to become a modified endowment contract, we'll remove all or part of the premium payment from your policy as of the day we applied it and return it to you. We'll also adjust the death benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. If we receive such a premium within 20 days before your policy anniversary, we'll hold it and apply it to your policy on the anniversary date. In both of these situations, if we remove an excess premium from your policy, we'll return the premium amount to you no later than 60 days after the end of that policy year. We may adjust the amount for interest or for changes in accumulated value that relate to the amount of the excess premium payment we're returning to you. If we do not return the premium amount to you within that time, we'll increase your policy's death benefit retroactively, to the day we applied the premium, and prospectively, so that it's always the amount necessary to ensure your policy qualifies as life insurance, or to prevent it from becoming a modified endowment contract. If we increase your death benefit, we'll adjust cost of insurance or rider charges retroactively and prospectively to reflect the increase. Net amount at risk . If applying the premium payment to your policy will is the difference increase the net amount at risk.

We will not accept premium payments after the youngest person insured by the policy reaches age 100. 24 YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE Accumulated value Accumulated value is the value of your policy on any is used as the business day. basis for determining policy We use it to calculate how much money is available to benefits and you for loans and withdrawals, and how much you'll charges. receive if you surrender your policy. It also affects the amount of the death benefit if you choose a death benefit option that's calculated using accumulated value. The accumulated value of your policy is not guaranteed - it depends on the performance of the investment options you've chosen, the premium payments you've made, policy charges and how much you've borrowed or withdrawn from the policy. --------------------------------------------------------- Calculating your Your policy's accumulated value is the total amount policy's allocated to the variable investment options and the accumulated value fixed options, plus the amount in the loan account. Please see Taking We determine the value allocated to the variable out a loan for investment options on any business day by multiplying information about the number of accumulation units for each variable loans and the loan investment option credited to your policy on that day, account. by the variable investment option's unit value at the end of that day. The process we use to calculate unit values for the variable investment options is described in Your investment options. --------------------------------------------------------- Monthly deductions We deduct a monthly charge from your policy's accumulated value in the investment options each If there is not monthly payment date. enough accumulated value to pay the Unless you tell us otherwise, we deduct the monthly monthly charge, charge from the investment options that make up your your policy could policy's accumulated value, in proportion to the lapse. The accumulated value you have in each option. This charge performance of the is made up of three charges: investment options you choose, not Cost of insurance making planned This charge is for providing you with life insurance premium payments, protection.

There are maximum or guaranteed cost of insurance rates You'll find a associated with your policy. When the younger of the discussion about two people insured by your policy reaches age 100, the when your policy guaranteed cost of insurance rate is zero - in other might lapse, and words, you no longer pay any cost of insurance. what you can do to reinstate it, later The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks in this section. associated with insuring two people. They are calculated using 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Unisex rates are Mortality Tables or the 1980 Commissioners Ordinary used when a policy Mortality Table B, which are used for unisex cost of is owned by an insurance rates. The rates are also based on the ages, employer in gender and risk classes of the people insured by the connection with policy unless unisex rates are required. employment-related or benefit Our current cost of insurance rates will apply programs. uniformly to all members of the same class. Any changes in the cost of insurance will apply uniformly to all Class is determined members of the same class. These rates generally by a number of increase as the ages of the two people increase, and factors, including they vary with the number of years the policy has been the age, risk in force. Our current rates are lower than the classification, guaranteed rates and they will not exceed the smoking status and guaranteed rates in the future. gender (unless unisex rates are required) of the two people insured by the policy, and the policy date and duration. 25 YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE --------------------------------------------------------- How we calculate cost of insurance We calculate cost of insurance by multiplying the current cost of insurance rate by a discounted net amount at risk at the beginning of each policy month. Net amount at risk for the cost of insurance calculation is the difference between a discounted death benefit that would be payable if both people insured by the policy died, and the accumulated value of your policy. We calculate it in two steps: . Step 1: we divide the death benefit that would be payable at the beginning of the policy month by 1.002466. . Step 2: we subtract your policy's accumulated value at the beginning of the policy month from the amount we calculated in step 1. Administrative charge We deduct a charge of $7.50 a month. We guarantee that this charge will not increase. When the younger of the two people insured by the policy reaches age 100, the administrative charge is zero - in other words, you no longer pay any administrative charge. If you buy additional Pacific Select Estate Preserver - NY policies that insure the same two people, we will not deduct the administrative charge from the additional policies. Instead, we'll deduct $200 from each policy's first premium payment to help cover our processing costs. Mortality and expense risk charge Mortality risk is the chance that the people insured by policies we've issued do not live as long as expected. This means the cost of insurance charges specified in the policies may not be enough to pay out actual claims. Expense risk is the chance that our actual administrative and operating expenses are more than expenses we expected. The mortality and expense risk charge helps compensate us for these risks. It has two components, which are described in the box on the following page. We guarantee this charge will not increase. Charges for optional riders If you add any riders to your policy, we add any charges for them to your monthly charge. 26 --------------------------------------------------------- An example How we calculate the mortality and expense risk charge For a policy with: The mortality and expense risk charge has two . a joint equal age components: a face amount component and an accumulated of 50 value component. . a face amount of $100,000 . Face amount component We deduct a face amount . accumulated value component every month during the first 10 policy of $60,000 after years, at a rate that is based on the joint equal age deducting any on the policy date and each $1,000 of the initial outstanding loan face amount of your policy. The rates for the face amount. amount component are shown in Appendix B. Joint equal age is a calculation that combines the ages and The maximum monthly insurance risks of the two people insured by the charge for the face policy, and is explained in Appendix A. amount component is $15.50 . Accumulated value component We deduct an accumulated (($100,000 / 1,000) value component every month during the first 20 X 0.155). policy years at an annual rate of 0.90% (0.075% monthly) of your policy's accumulated value in the The monthly charge investment options. During policy years 11 through for the accumulated 20, we reduce the annual rate to 0.30% (0.025% value component is monthly) of the accumulated value. During policy year $45 ($60,000 X 21 and thereafter, we further reduce the annual rate 0.075%). The charge to 0.05% (0.0042% monthly) of the accumulated value. in policy years 11 For the purposes of this charge, the amount of through 20 would be accumulated value is calculated on the monthly $15 ($60,000 payment date after we deduct the cost of insurance X 0.025%) if the and charges for any optional riders. policy's accumulated value was $60,000. The charge in policy year 21 (and thereafter) would be $2.52 ($60,000 X .0042%) if the policy's accumulated value was $60,000. --------------------------------------------------------- Lapsing and Your policy will lapse if there is not enough reinstatement accumulated value, after subtracting any outstanding loan amount, to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. Your policy's accumulated value is affected by the following: . loans or withdrawals you make from your policy . not making planned premium payments . the performance of your investment options . charges under the policy. There is no guarantee that your policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. If there is not enough accumulated value to pay the total monthly charge, we deduct the amount that's available and send you, and anyone you've assigned your policy to, a notice telling you the minimum amount you have to pay to keep your policy in force. This minimum amount is equal to three times the monthly charge that was due on the monthly payment date when there was not enough accumulated value to pay the charge. We'll give you a grace period of 61 days from when we send the notice to pay the required premium. Your policy will remain in force during the grace period. If you do not make the minimum payment If we do not receive your payment within the grace period, your policy will lapse with no value. This means we'll end your life insurance coverage. 27 YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE If you make the minimum payment If we receive your payment within the grace period, we'll allocate your net premium to the investment options you've chosen and deduct the monthly charge from your investment options in proportion to the accumulated value you have in each option. Remember to tell us If your policy is in danger of lapsing and you have an if a payment is a outstanding loan amount, you may find that making the premium payment. minimum payment would cause the total premiums paid to Otherwise, we'll exceed the maximum amount for your policy's face amount treat it as a loan under tax laws. In that situation, we will not accept repayment. the portion of your payment that would exceed the maximum amount. To stop your policy from lapsing, you'll have to repay a portion of your outstanding loan amount. How to avoid future lapsing To stop your policy from lapsing in the future, you may want to make larger or more frequent premium payments if tax laws permit it. Or if you have a loan, you may want to repay a portion if it. Paying death benefit proceeds during the grace period If the last surviving person insured by the policy dies during the grace period, we'll pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiary. We'll reduce the payment by any unpaid monthly charges and any outstanding loan amount. Reinstating a lapsed policy If your policy lapses, you have five years from the end of the grace period to apply for a reinstatement. We'll reinstate it if you send us the following: . a written application . evidence satisfactory to us that the two people insured by the policy are still insurable . a premium payment sufficient to keep your policy in force for three months after the day your policy is reinstated . payment of all unpaid monthly charges that were due in the grace period. We'll reinstate your policy as of the first monthly payment date on or after the day we approve the reinstatement. When we reinstate your policy, its accumulated value will be the same as it was on the day your policy lapsed. We'll allocate it according to your most recent premium allocation instructions. Reinstating a lapsed policy with an outstanding loan amount If you had an outstanding loan amount when your policy lapsed, we will not pay or credit interest on it during the period between the lapsing and reinstatement of your policy. There are special rules that apply to reinstating a policy with an outstanding loan amount: . If we reinstate your policy on the first monthly payment date that immediately follows the lapse, we'll also reinstate the loan amount that was outstanding the day your policy lapsed. . If we reinstate your policy on any monthly payment date other than the monthly payment date that immediately follows the lapse, we'll deduct the outstanding loan amount from your policy's accumulated value. This means you will no longer have an outstanding loan amount when your policy is reinstated. 28 YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS This section tells you about the investment options available under your policy and how they work.

We calculate the unit value for policy with 400 each variable account once every business day, usually units ($6,000 at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. divided by $15). Generally, for any transaction, we'll use the next unit The value of an value calculated after we receive your written request. accumulation unit If we receive your written request before 4:00 p.m. is not the same as Eastern time, we'll use the unit value calculated as of the value of a the end of that business day. If we receive your share in the request on or after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, we'll use underlying the unit value calculated as of the end of the next portfolio. business day. For information If a scheduled transaction falls on a day that is not a about timing of business day, we'll process it as of the end of the transactions, see next business day. For your monthly charge, we'll use Pacific Select the unit value calculated on your monthly payment date. Estate If your monthly payment date does not fall on a Preserver - NY business day, we'll use the unit value calculated as of basics. the end of the next business day. The unit value calculation is based on the following: . the investment performance of the underlying portfolio . any dividends or distributions paid by the underlying portfolio . any charges for any taxes that are, or may become, associated with the operation of the variable account. The unit value of a variable account will change with the value of its corresponding Pacific Select Fund portfolio. Changes in the unit value of a variable account will not change the number of accumulation units credited to your policy. A look at performance Performance information may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to policy owners or prospective buyers. Information about the performance of any variable account of the separate account reflects only the performance of a hypothetical policy. The calculations are based on allocating the hypothetical policy's accumulated value to the variable account during a particular time period. Performance information is no guarantee of how a variable account will perform in the future. You should keep in mind the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the fund in which the variable account invests, and the market conditions during the period of time that's shown. We may show performance information in any way that's allowed under the law that applies to it. This may include presenting a change in accumulated value due to the performance of one or more variable accounts, or as a change in a policy owner's death benefit. 32 We may show performance as a change in accumulated value over time or in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on accumulated value. This would be based on allocating premium payments for a hypothetical policy to a particular variable account over certain periods of time, including one year, or from the day the variable account started operating. If a portfolio has existed for longer than its corresponding variable account, we may also show the hypothetical returns that the variable account would have achieved had it invested in the portfolio from the day the portfolio started operating. Performance may reflect the deduction of all policy charges including premium load, the cost of insurance, the administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge. The different death benefit options will result in different expenses for the cost of insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different accumulated values. Performance may also reflect the deduction of the surrender charge, if it applies, by assuming the hypothetical policy is surrendered at the end of the particular period. At the same time, we may give other performance figures that do not assume the policy is surrendered and do not reflect any deduction of the surrender charge. In our advertisements, sales literature and reports to policy owners, we may compare performance information for a variable account to: . other variable life separate accounts, mutual funds, or investment products tracked by research firms, ratings services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria . the Consumer Price Index, to assess the real rate of return from buying a policy by taking inflation into consideration. Reports and promotional literature may also contain our rating or a rating of our claims-paying ability. These ratings are set by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

The box on the next page describes how we calculate the surrender charge. There's no surrender charge after 10 policy years. . We guarantee the surrender charge rates will not increase. We can reduce or waive the surrender charge on policies sold to our directors or employees, to any of our affiliates or to any trustees or employees or affiliates of the Pacific Select Fund. 40 --------------------------------------------------------- Joint equal age is How we calculate the surrender charge a calculation that combines the ages The surrender charge is assessed against your policy's and insurance risks accumulated value. It has two parts: an underwriting of the two people surrender charge and a sales surrender charge. Both insured by the charges are based on the joint equal age on the policy policy, and is date of the two people insured by the policy, and on explained in the initial face amount of your policy. Appendix A.

The amount of the charge does not change during the first policy year. Starting on the first policy anniversary, the charge decreases by 0.9259% each month until it reaches zero at the end of the 10th policy An example year. For a policy with: The sales surrender charge helps pay for our costs of . a joint equal age distributing policies. During the first policy year, of 50 this charge is equal to the smaller of the following . an initial face amounts: amount of $100,000. . 70% of the premium payments you've made, or . 70% of the sales surrender target, which is based on Here's the the joint equal age of the people insured by the surrender charge at policy for each $1,000 of the policy's initial face the end of the amount. first policy year: .

After that, we reduce it by surrender charge: 0.9259% a month until it reaches zero at the end of 10 $865.20 (70% X policy years. 12.36 X $100,000 / 1,000). We will not increase the charge if your policy's face amount increases. If you decrease the face amount of your policy, we'll charge you a surrender charge that's At the end of the calculated based on the amount of the decrease. third policy year, the surrender charge is reduced --------------------------------------------------------- to: Calculating the surrender charge on a decrease in face amount . Underwriting surrender charge: Here's how we calculate the surrender charge on a $404.45 ($520 - decrease in face amount: ($520 X 0.9259% X 24 months)) .

We calculate any surrender charge after a decrease in face amount by dividing the new face amount by the old face amount, and multiplying the result by the surrender charge that would have applied before the decrease. 41 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY This section tells you some additional things you should know about your policy. --------------------------------------------------------- Income benefit If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your policy, you can use the money to buy an income benefit that provides a monthly income. Your policy's beneficiary can use death benefit proceeds to buy an income benefit. In addition to the income benefit described below, you can choose from other income benefits we may make available from time to time. The following is one income benefit available under the Pacific Select Estate Preserver - NY policy: . The income benefit is based on the life of the person receiving the income. If the policy owner is buying the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the owner's life. If the policy's beneficiary buys the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the beneficiary's life. . We'll pay a monthly income for at least 10 years regardless of whether the person receiving the income is still alive. . After 10 years, we'll only pay the monthly income for as long as the person receiving it is still alive. . The minimum monthly income benefit calculated must be at least $100. . For this income benefit, the amount you receive will always be at least as much as the amount guaranteed by your policy. --------------------------------------------------------- Reduced Paid-Up You may use the net cash surrender value of your policy Benefit to purchase guaranteed fixed paid-up insurance on the lives of the people insured by the policy, or the life of the person insured by the policy, if only one person is living at the time of conversion. You may choose to do this on any policy anniversary while the policy is in force. If you convert your policy, your policy and any riders attached to it will terminate and the net cash surrender value will be transferred to our general account. The net cash surrender value will be applied as a net single premium to purchase paid-up insurance. The amount of such insurance will be calculated based on 1980 CSO mortality, 3% interest and on the ages and risk classifications of the people insured by the policy or, if only one person is living at the time of conversion, the age and risk classification of the surviving person. --------------------------------------------------------- Paying the death If either person insured by the policy commits suicide benefit in the case within two years of the policy date, death benefit of suicide proceeds will be the total of all premiums you've paid, less any outstanding loan amount and any withdrawals you've made. --------------------------------------------------------- Replacement of life The term replacement has a special meaning in the life insurance or insurance industry. Before you make a decision to buy, annuities we want you to understand what impact a replacement may have on your existing insurance policy. A replacement occurs when you buy a new life insurance policy or annuity contract, and a policy or contract you already own has been or will be: . lapsed, forfeited, surrendered or partially surrendered, assigned to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminated . converted to reduced paid-up insurance, continued as extended term insurance, or otherwise reduced in value by the use of nonforfeiture benefits or other policy values 42 . amended to effect either a reduction in benefits or in the term for which coverage would otherwise remain in force or for which benefits would be paid . reissued with any reduction in cash value, or . pledged as collateral or subject to borrowing, whether in a single loan or under a schedule of borrowing over a period of time. There are circumstances when replacing your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your best interest. You should carefully compare the costs and benefits of your existing policy or contract with those of the new policy or contract to determine whether replacement is in your best interest. --------------------------------------------------------- Errors on your If the age of either person insured by your policy is application stated incorrectly on your application, the death benefit under your policy will be the greater of the following: . the amount of death benefit that would be purchased by the most recent cost of insurance charge for the correct age or . the guideline minimum death benefit for the correct age. We'll adjust the accumulated value by recalculating all previous cost of insurance charges and other monthly deductions based on the correct age. --------------------------------------------------------- Contesting the We have the right to contest the validity of your validity of your policy for two years from the policy date. Once your policy policy has been in force for two years from the policy date during the lifetime of the people insured by the policy, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. We also have the right to contest the validity of a policy that you reinstate for two years from the day that it was reinstated. Once your reinstated policy has been in force for two years from the reinstatement date during the lifetime of the people insured by the policy, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. During this period, we may contest your policy only if there is a material misrepresentation on your application for reinstatement. We have the right to contest the validity of an increase in the face amount of a policy for two years from the day the increase becomes effective. Once the increased face amount has been in force for two years during the lifetime of the person insured by the policy, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. Regardless of the above, we can contest the validity of your policy for failure to pay premiums at any time. The policy will terminate upon successful contest with respect to either person insured by the policy. 43 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY --------------------------------------------------------- Assigning your You can assign your policy as collateral to secure a policy as loan, mortgage, or other kind of debt.

This includes excluding the death benefit from the gross income of the beneficiary. 45 VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES While the Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations about reasonable standards for mortality charges, the standards that apply to joint survivor life insurance policies are not entirely clear. While we believe that our mortality costs and other expenses used in calculating whether the policy qualifies as life insurance are reasonable under current laws, we cannot be sure that the IRS agrees with us. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your policy qualifies as a life insurance contract. Section 817(h) of Diversification rules and ownership of the separate the tax code account describes the Your policy will not qualify for the tax benefit of a diversification life insurance contract unless the separate account rules. follows certain rules requiring diversification of investments underlying the policy. In addition, the IRS For more requires that the policyholder does not have control information about over the underlying assets. diversification rules, please see The Treasury Department has announced that the Managing the diversification rules "do not provide guidance Pacific Select Fund concerning the circumstances in which it will treat an in the accompanying investor, rather than the insurance company, as the Pacific Select Fund owner of the assets in a separate account." The IRS prospectus. treats a variable policy owner as the owner of separate account assets if he or she has the ability to exercise investment control over them. Owners of the assets are taxed on any income or gains the assets generate. Although the Treasury Department announced several years ago that it would provide further guidance on the issue, it had not done so when we wrote this prospectus. The ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was determined that policyowners were not owners of separate account assets. Since you have greater flexibility in allocating premiums and policy values than was the case in those rulings, it is possible the IRS would treat you as the owner of your policy's proportionate share of the assets of the separate account. We do not know what will be in future Treasury Department regulations or other guidance. We cannot guarantee that the fund's portfolios will be able to operate as currently described in the prospectus, or that the fund will not have to change any portfolio's investment objective or policies. We can modify your policy if we believe it will prevent you from being considered the owner of your policy's proportionate share of the assets of the separate account. Policy exchanges Policy exchanges fall under Section If you exchange your policy for another one that 1035(a) of the tax insures the same person, it generally will be treated code. as a tax-free exchange and, if so, will not result in the recognition of gain or loss. If any of the people insured by the policy are changed, the exchange will be treated as a taxable exchange.

We describe modified endowment Under Section 7702A contracts later in this section. If your policy is not of the tax code, a modified endowment contract, it will be treated as a policies that are conventional life insurance policy and will have the not classified as following tax treatment: modified endowment contracts are taxed Surrendering your policy as conventional When you surrender, or cash in, your policy, you'll life insurance generally be taxed on the difference, if any, between policies. the cash surrender value and the cost basis in your policy. The cost basis in your policy is Making a withdrawal generally the If you make a withdrawal after your policy has been in premiums you've force for 15 years, you'll only be taxed on the amount paid plus any you withdraw that exceeds the cost basis in the policy. taxable distributions less Special rules apply if you make a withdrawal within the any withdrawals or first 15 policy years and it's accompanied by a premiums previously reduction in benefits. In this case, there is a special recovered that were formula under which you may be taxed on all or a not taxable. portion of the withdrawal amount. Taking out a loan If you take out a loan, you will not pay tax on the loan amount unless your policy is surrendered or lapses and you have not repaid your outstanding loan amount. The interest you pay, or that's accrued, on a loan is generally nondeductible. Ask your tax adviser for more information. Loans and corporate-owned policies If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds. If the taxpayer is an entity that's a direct or indirect beneficiary of certain life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts, a portion of the entity's deductions for loan interest may be disallowed, even though this interest may relate to debt that's completely unrelated to the contract. There may be a limited exception that applies to contracts issued on 20% owners, officers, directors or employees of the entity. For more information about this exception, you should consult your tax adviser. --------------------------------------------------------- Modified endowment A modified endowment contract is a special type of life contracts insurance policy. If your policy is a modified endowment contract, it will have the tax treatment Section 7702A of described below. Any distributions you receive during the tax code the life of the policy are treated differently than defines a class of under conventional life insurance policies. life insurance Withdrawals, loans, pledges, assignments and policies known as surrendering your policy are all considered modified endowment distributions and may be subject to tax on an income- contracts. Like first basis and a 10% penalty. other life insurance policies, When a policy becomes a modified endowment contract the death benefit A life insurance policy becomes a modified endowment proceeds paid to contract if, at any time during the first seven policy your beneficiary years, the sum of actual premiums paid exceeds the generally are not seven-pay limit. The seven-pay limit is the cumulative subject to federal total of the level annual premiums (or seven-pay income tax and your premiums) required to pay for the policy's future death policy's and endowment benefits. accumulated value grows on a tax- deferred basis until you receive a cash distribution. If there is a material change to your policy, like a change in the death benefit, we may have to retest your policy and restart the seven-pay premium period to determine whether the change has caused the policy to become a modified endowment contract. 47 VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES For example, if the seven-pay premiums were $1,000 a year, the maximum premiums you could pay during the first seven years to avoid modified endowment treatment would be $1,000 in the first year, $2,000 through the first two years and $3,000 through the first three years, etc. Under this test, a Pacific Select Estate Preserver - NY policy may or may not be a modified endowment contract, depending on the amount of premiums paid during the policy's first seven contract years or after a material change has been made to the policy. Surrendering your policy If you surrender your policy, you're taxed on the amount by which the cash surrender value exceeds the cost basis in the policy. Making a withdrawal or taking out a loan If you make a withdrawal or take out a loan from a modified endowment contract, you're taxed on the amount of the withdrawal or loan that's considered income, including all previously non-taxed gains. Income is the difference between the cash surrender value and the cost basis in your policy. It's unclear whether interest paid, or accrued, on a loan is considered interest for federal income tax purposes. If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds. You should consult your tax adviser. All modified endowment contracts we or our affiliates issue to you in a calendar year are treated as a single contract when we calculate whether a distribution amount is subject to tax. 10% penalty tax If any amount you receive from a modified endowment contract is taxable, you may also have to pay a penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount. A taxpayer will not have to pay the penalty tax if any of the following exceptions apply: . you're at least 59 1/2 years old . you're receiving an amount because you've become disabled . you're receiving an amount that's part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, paid out at least annually. These payments may be made for your life or life expectancy or for the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your beneficiaries. Distributions before a policy becomes a modified endowment contract If your policy fails the seven-pay test and becomes a modified endowment contract, any amount you receive or are deemed to have received during the two years before it became a modified endowment contract may be taxable. The distribution would be treated as having been made in anticipation of the policy's failing to meet the seven-pay test under Treasury Department regulations which are yet to be prescribed. --------------------------------------------------------- Policy riders Accelerated living benefits rider Amounts received under this rider should be generally Please see the excluded from taxable income under Section 101(g) of discussion of the tax code. optional riders in The death benefit.

In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a life insurance policy that has an accelerated living benefit rider can meet technical aspects of the definition of "life insurance contract" under the tax code. We may reserve the right (but are not obligated) to modify the rider to conform under tax code requirements. Split policy option rider This rider allows a policy to be split into two individual policies. If the split is not treated as a nontaxable exchange, it could result in the recognition of taxable income up to any gain or income in the policy at the time of the split. 48 ABOUT PL&A Pacific Life & Annuity Company is a life insurance company based in Arizona.

See Notes to Financial Statements (This Separate Account commenced operations on August 15, 2000) 61 PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is comprised of twenty-two subaccounts called Variable Accounts: the Aggressive Equity, Emerging Markets, Diversified Research, Small- Cap Equity, International Large-Cap, Equity, I-Net Tollkeeper, Multi-Strategy, Equity Income, Strategic Value, Growth LT, Focused 30, Mid-Cap Value, Equity Index, Small-Cap Index, REIT, International Value, Government Securities, Managed Bond, Money Market, High Yield Bond, and Large-Cap Value Variable Accounts as of December 31, 2000. The assets in each Variable Account are invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), each of which pursues different investment objectives and policies. The financial statements of the Fund, including the schedules of investments, are provided separately and should be read in conjunction with the Separate Account's financial statements. The Separate Account was established by Pacific Life & Annuity Company (PL&A), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life Insurance Company (Pacific Life), on September 24, 1998 and commenced operations on August 15, 2000. The following Variable Accounts commenced operations in 2000: the Money Market Variable Account commenced operations on August 15, 2000; the Aggressive Equity, Emerging Markets, Small-Cap Equity, International Large-Cap, Growth LT, Mid-Cap Value, International Value and Large-Cap Value Variable Accounts commenced operations on September 8, 2000; the Equity Index and High Yield Bond Variable Accounts commenced operations on October 2, 2000; the Small-Cap Index and Managed Bond Variable Accounts commenced on October 20, 2000; the I-Net Tollkeeper and Multi-Strategy Variable Accounts commenced operations on November 3, 2000; the Equity and Government Securities Variable Accounts commenced operations on November 27, 2000; the Equity Income Variable Account commenced operations on November 28, 2000; the Diversified Research Variable Account commenced operations on November 30, 2000; and the REIT Variable Account commenced operations on December 6, 2000. There were no operational activities in the Strategic Value and Focused 30 Variable Accounts through December 31, 2000. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of PL&A. The assets of the Separate Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by PL&A, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits related to variable life insurance, are obligations of PL&A. The Separate Account held by PL&A represents funds from individual flexible premium variable life policies. The assets of the Separate Account are carried at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A. Valuation of Investments Investments in shares of the Fund are valued at the reported net asset values of the respective portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Fund is discussed in the notes to its financial statements. B. Security Transactions and Investment Income Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. C. Federal Income Taxes The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal income tax return of PL&A, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Under current tax law, no Federal income taxes are expected to be paid by PL&A with respect to the operations of the Separate Account. 2. DIVIDENDS During 2000, the Fund declared dividends for each portfolio, except for the I- Net Tollkeeper Portfolio, invested by the Separate Account. The amounts accrued by the Separate Account for its share of the dividends were reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the related portfolios. 3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES With respect to variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate Account, PL&A makes certain deductions from premiums for sales load and state premium taxes before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account. PL&A also makes certain deductions from the net assets of each Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks PL&A assumes, administrative expenses, cost of insurance, charges for optional benefits and any sales and underwriting surrender charges. The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by PL&A. 4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (formerly Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life, serves as principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded by interests in the Separate Account, without remuneration from the Separate Account. 62 PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 5. SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S COST OF INVESTMENTS IN THE FUND SHARES The investment in the Fund shares are carried at identified cost, which represents the amount available for investment (including reinvested distributions of net investment income and realized gains). A reconciliation of total cost and market value of the Separate Account's investments in the Fund as of December 31, 2000 were as follows:

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has prepared these financial statements on the accounting basis prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The effects on such financial statements of the differences between the statutory basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are also described in Note 1. In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of Pacific Life & Annuity Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus of Pacific Life & Annuity Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

See Independent Auditors' Report and Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis 70 Pacific Life & Annuity Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Pacific Life & Annuity Company (PL&A) is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the State of Arizona, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Life Insurance Company (Pacific Life). PL&A provides benefit programs to employers and other benefit plan sponsors throughout the United States and offers medical, dental, life, and other ancillary coverages to small and mid-size employers, as well as flexible funding arrangements for labor management and union trusts. In addition, stop loss products are sold through Pacific Life and companion group life insurance is sold through PL&A to self-funded plan sponsors. Also, PL&A began selling structured settlement annuities in 2000. In 1999, PL&A changed its name from PM Group Life Insurance Company and received approval from the State of New York Insurance Department to transact business in the State of New York. In connection with this approval, Pacific Life contributed $97 million of additional paid-in surplus in cash to PL&A in 1999. During 2000, PL&A began selling variable life insurance and institutional products and services and filed for variable annuity product approval in the State of New York. BASIS OF PRESENTATION These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). 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 so prescribed. Accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona differ in certain respects, which in some cases are materially different from GAAP. GAAP stockholder's equity as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $255.5 million and $221.9 million, respectively, compared to statutory capital and surplus as included in these financial statements of $225.7 million and $200.9 million, respectively. GAAP net income for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $30.9 million and $30.0 million, respectively, compared to statutory net income included in these financial statements of $28.2 million and $31.0 million, respectively. The significant differences are noted below: An interest maintenance reserve (IMR) is established to capture realized investment gains and losses, net of tax, on the sale of fixed income investments resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates, and is amortized into income over the remaining years to expected maturity of the assets sold under statutory accounting practices; no such reserve is allowed under GAAP. An asset valuation reserve (AVR), based upon a formula prescribed by the NAIC, is established as a liability to offset potential noninterest related investment losses, and changes in the AVR are charged or credited directly to surplus under statutory accounting practices; no such reserve is allowed under GAAP. Investments in bonds and preferred stocks are generally carried at amortized cost under statutory accounting practices; under GAAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks, other than those classified as held to maturity, are carried at estimated fair value. Certain assets, principally deferred income taxes and furniture and equipment, are designated as non admitted and excluded from assets by a direct charge to surplus under statutory accounting practices; under GAAP, such assets are carried on the statement of financial condition with appropriate valuation allowances. 71 Pacific Life & Annuity Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) In 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (Codification). Codification, which is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments, is effective January 1, 2001. However, statutory accounting principles will continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. The Insurance Department of the State of Arizona is requiring adoption of Codification for the preparation of statutory financial statements effective January 1, 2001. The impact of adopting Codification will be reported as an adjustment to statutory surplus on the effective date. PL&A has not yet finalized the effects of adopting Codification, but anticipates that there will not be any adverse effect on statutory surplus. PL&A's significant statutory accounting practices are described below. INVESTMENTS Bonds qualifying for amortization are carried at amortized cost; all other bonds are carried at prescribed values. Preferred stocks are principally stated at amortized cost. Common stocks are carried at market value. The cost of bonds, and preferred and common stocks is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than temporary. Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates estimated fair value. Short-term investments generally consist of bonds, commercial paper and money market instruments whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less. Other invested assets, which consist principally of joint venture and partnership interests, are primarily accounted for using the equity method. The AVR is computed in accordance with a prescribed formula and is designed to stabilize surplus against valuation and credit-related losses for certain invested assets. Changes to the AVR are reported as direct additions to, or deductions from, unassigned surplus. The IMR results in the deferral of after-tax realized capital gains and losses attributable to interest rate fluctuations on fixed income investments. These capital gains and losses are amortized into net investment income over the remaining life of the investment sold. The IMR of $1.8 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, is included in other liabilities. Net realized capital gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method and are presented net of Federal capital gains tax and transfers to the IMR. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are valued consistently with the hedged items. Realized hedged gains and losses on fixed income contracts are deferred and amortized over the average life of the related hedged assets or insurance liabilities. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are valued at market value through surplus while still held and when realized through income. POLICY RESERVES AND DEPOSIT FUNDS Medical expense claim reserves are based on PL&A's actual loss experience. Group life insurance reserves, including premium waivers, are based on various tabular methods and actual loss experience. Disabled life reserves are determined using various tabular reserve methods. Reserves for variable life insurance and individual annuities are maintained principally on the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method. 72 Pacific Life & Annuity Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The liability for deposit funds, including guaranteed interest contracts, is based primarily upon, and is not less than, the policyholders' equity in their deposit accounts, including credited interest. REVENUES, BENEFITS AND EXPENSES Premiums are recognized as revenue over the premium paying period. Deposits made in connection with annuity contracts are recognized as revenue when received. Investment income is recorded as earned. Expenses, including policy acquisition costs and Federal income taxes, are charged to operations as incurred. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES PL&A's operations are included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, PL&A's ultimate parent. PL&A is allocated an income tax expense based on the effect of including its operations in the consolidated return. Deferred taxes are provided for as permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona. The net deferred tax asset is non admitted. This practice has no effect on total surplus. OTHER SURPLUS TRANSACTIONS Other surplus transactions primarily consist of unrealized capital gains and losses, changes in non admitted assets and change in the AVR. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS Separate account assets are recorded at market value and the related liabilities represent segregated contract owner funds maintained in accounts with individual investment objectives. The operating results of separate account assets pass through to separate account policyholders and contract owners. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in Notes 2 and 3 has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts PL&A could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts. RISK-BASED CAPITAL Risk-based capital is a method developed by the NAIC to measure the minimum amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. The adequacy of a company's actual capital is measured by the risk-based capital results as determined by the formulas. Companies below minimum risk-based capital requirements are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, PL&A exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements. BUSINESS RISKS PL&A operates in a business environment which is subject to various risks and uncertainties. PL&A's group health insurance is subject to varying levels of regulation. The United States Congress has, from time to time, considered various health care proposals and several states have enacted health care reform legislation. Although 73 Pacific Life & Annuity Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) it is not possible to predict what changes may be adopted at the state or Federal level, certain changes could have a negative impact upon the group health business of PL&A. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of admitted 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. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 financial statement presentation. 2. INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair value of debt and equity securities are shown below. Debt securities include bonds, redeemable preferred stocks and short-term investments. Equity securities include perpetual preferred stocks and common stocks. The estimated fair value of publicly traded securities is based on quoted market prices. For securities not actively traded, estimated fair values were provided by independent pricing services specializing in matrix pricing and modeling techniques. PL&A also estimates certain fair values based on interest rates, credit quality and average maturity, or from securities with comparable trading characteristics.

INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES (Continued) The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities as of December 31, 2000, by contractual repayment date of principal, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Proceeds from sales of investments in debt securities were $13.1 million and $23.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Gross gains of $1.1 million and $0.1 million and gross losses of $0.1 million and $0.9 million were realized on those sales for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair values of PL&A's financial instruments, including debt and equity securities (Note 2), are as follows:
December 31, 2000 December 31, 1999 ----------------- ----------------- Statement Estimated Statement Estimated Value Fair Value Value Fair Value ------------------------------------------ (In Thousands) Assets: Debt securities $354,379 $357,027 $321,873 $319,055 Equity securities 11,536 11,547 8,388 8,388 Mortgage loans 15,004 16,152 15,409 17,131 Financial futures contracts (1,110) Foreign currency derivatives (129) 7 Liabilities: Guaranteed interest contracts 20,314 20,314 Deposit liabilities 3,213 3,213 6,300 6,300
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments as of December 31, 2000 and 1999: MORTGAGE LOANS The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows, using a year-end market rate which is applicable to the yield, credit quality and average maturity of the composite portfolio. 75 Pacific Life & Annuity Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACTS AND DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The estimated fair value of fixed maturity guaranteed interest contracts is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of deposit liabilities with no defined maturities is the amount payable on demand. FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS PL&A uses exchange-traded financial futures contracts to hedge cash flow timing differences between assets and liabilities and overall portfolio duration. Assets and liabilities are rarely acquired or sold at the same time, which creates a need to hedge their change in value during the unmatched period. In addition, foreign currency futures may be used to hedge foreign currency risk on non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. Financial futures contracts obligate the holder to buy or sell the underlying financial instrument at a specified future date for a set price and may be settled in cash or by delivery of the financial instrument. Price changes on futures are settled daily through the required margin cash flows. The notional amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash requirements, as PL&A intends to close out open positions prior to expiration. FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES PL&A enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency exposure. Foreign currency derivatives involve the exchange of foreign currency denominated payments for U.S. dollar denominated payments. Gains and losses on foreign exchange forward contracts offset losses and gains, respectively, on the related foreign currency denominated assets. Foreign currency derivatives expire during the year 2001. 4. LIABILITY FOR GROUP HEALTH UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES Activity in the liability for group health unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, which is included in both policy reserves and policy benefits payable, is summarized as follows:

76 Pacific Life & Annuity Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 4. LIABILITY FOR GROUP HEALTH UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES (Continued) As a result of favorable settlement of prior years' estimated claims, the provision for claims and claim adjustment expenses decreased by $27.8 million and $33.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pacific Life provides services of certain management and other personnel, and other support services to PL&A. Services provided include employee participation in certain benefit plans provided by Pacific Life (Note 6). Charges for these services amounted to $12.9 million and $11.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and are included in operating expenses. Under a reinsurance and service agreement, which terminated on January 1, 1999, PL&A assumed substantially all of Pacific Life's group life and health insurance. Premiums of ($0.6) million and $0.4 million and benefits of $1.4 million and ($0.7) million were assumed for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Amounts payable under this agreement were $0.4 million and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Effective January 1, 1999, PL&A began to provide underwriting and administrative services for this business under an administrative services agreement. Fees earned amounted to $10.7 million and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and are included as an offset to operating expenses. 6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PL&A permits eligible employees to participate in a retirement plan provided by Pacific Life. PL&A permits certain employees to defer a portion of cash compensation under a deferred compensation plan provided by Pacific Life. Interest accrued to this plan amounted to $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. PL&A participates in a defined benefit health care plan and a defined benefit life insurance plan (the Plans) provided by Pacific Life. The Plans provide postretirement benefits for all eligible retirees and their dependents. Generally, qualified employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age, have been covered under Pacific Life's policy as an active employee for a minimum continuous period prior to the date retired, and have an employment date before January 1, 1990. The Plans contain cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance, and require retirees to make contributions which can be adjusted annually. Pacific Life's commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is limited to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Life reserves the right to modify or terminate the Plans at any time. Pacific Life and PL&A utilize the accrual method of accounting for the costs of the Plans as prescribed by the Insurance Departments of the States of California and Arizona, respectively. PL&A has elected to amortize the transition obligation, which was allocated from Pacific Life, of $3.7 million over 20 years. The transition obligation amortization amounted to $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. The postretirement obligation included in other liabilities reflects the amortized balance less reductions due to payouts under the Plans. The balance as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 is $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. 7. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS Dividend payments by PL&A to its parent cannot exceed the lesser of 10% of surplus as of the preceding year-end, as regards to policyholders, or the statutory net gain from operations for the previous calendar year, without prior approval from the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Arizona. No dividends were paid during 2000 and 1999. During 2001, PL&A can pay dividends amounting to approximately $22.3 million without prior approval from the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Arizona. 77 Pacific Life & Annuity Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES PL&A has outstanding commitments to make investments in bonds, mortgage loans and other invested assets as follows (In Thousands):

PL&A leases office facilities under various noncancelable operating leases. Rent expense in connection with these leases was $2.6 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Aggregate minimum future commitments are as follows (In Thousands):
Year Ending December 31: ------------------------ 2001 $3,415 2002 3,321 2003 1,106 2004 1,102 2005 and thereafter 685 ------ Total $9,629 ======
PL&A is a respondent in a number of legal proceedings, some of which involve extra-contractual damages. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of PL&A. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 78 APPENDIX A - JOINT EQUAL AGE --------------------------------------------------------- An example Joint equal age is a calculation that combines the ages This example and insurance risks of two people insured by a policy. assumes a male It changes many possible combinations of ages, risk smoker who is age classes, and genders for the two people insured by the 65 and a female policy into a two life status. With joint equal age, we nonsmoker who is assume that both people have the same age, gender (both age 55. always male), and risk class (both smoker or both nonsmoker). Here's how we calculate the joint How we use joint equal age equal age. Using the joint equal age of the two people insured by the policy eliminates many of the tables needed when Step 1 age rates are used. We use the joint equal age for calculating the following: Subtract 0 from the male age of 65. For . certain policy charges.

REPRESENTATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 26(e) OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 Pacific Life & Annuity Company, the sponsoring insurance company of the Registrant, represents that the fees and charges to be deducted under the variable Life Insurance Policy ("Policy") described in the prospectus contained in this registration statement are, in the aggregate, reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed in connection with the Policy. RULE 6e-3(T) REPRESENTATION This filing is made pursuant to Rule 6e-3(T) and Rule 6c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. RULE 484 UNDERTAKING Pacific Life & Annuity Company's Articles of Incorporation provide in Article IX for indemnification of directors, officers and employees of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") 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 the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant, Pacific Select Exec Separate Account of Pacific Life & Annuity Company, certifies that it has caused this Registration Statement on Form S-6 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized in the City of Newport Beach, and State of California, on this 6th day of June, 2001.
