This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a prospectus, call (800) 778-1482 or your financial representative. We advise you to carefully consider the product's objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the product. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Investments in variable portfolios involve risk. Some portfolios have more risk than others. These include portfolios that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in Emerging Market countries). Please read the prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Aggressive Growth Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,052.80	$ 1,051.20
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.84	$ 6.76
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.08	$ 1,018.20
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.76	$ 6.66

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Aggressive Growth Portfolio	.95%	1.33%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Aggressive Growth Portfolio

During the first quarter of 2005, a strong, low-inflation economic environment favored mid- and large-cap stocks over small cap stocks. In the second quarter, however, mixed economic data suggested that growth may be slowing. During the second quarter, small-cap stocks came to the fore as surging oil prices led investors to move into smaller, specialized companies and away from large companies.

In a volatile period for the broad market, the portfolio posted a positive return and handily outperformed its benchmark. For its most recent semiannual period, the portfolio returned 5.28% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), compared with the -1.88% return of the Russell 3000 Growth Index.

The biggest contributor to the portfolio's return over the six-month period was stock selection, particularly within the health care and consumer discretionary sectors. The portfolio also benefited from strong stock selection in financials. Energy was the strongest-performing sector within the Russell 3000 Growth Index by a wide margin; our slight overweight in energy contributed positively to performance. However, our overweight in financials detracted slightly from performance. Going forward, the managers will continue to adhere to their fundamental, valuation-sensitive investment process, and they are optimistic that the process will continue to work well in the current market environment.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. It is nondiversified and can take larger positions in fewer companies, increasing its overall potential risk. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Russell 3000 Growth Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index containing the growth stocks in the Russell 3000 Index with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Portfolio management market commentary is as of June 30, 2005, and may not come to pass. This information is subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Blue Chip Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,011.10	$ 1,009.50
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.44	$ 5.28
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,021.37	$ 1,019.54
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.46	$ 5.31

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Blue Chip Portfolio	.69%	1.06%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Blue Chip Portfolio

The US stock market ended the period close to where it began. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the portfolio returned 1.11% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) finishing ahead of the 0.11% return of its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.

We believe the portfolio was able to outperform its benchmark mainly because of our disciplined focus on individual stock selection. We generated the best relative performance within the retailing, energy and insurance industry groups. The most significant individual contributor was Valero Energy Corp. The company's revenue and margins benefited from rising oil prices. This holding was sold during the second quarter, as we believed the stock was fully valued relative to its peers. Within the retailing industry group, the portfolio's position in American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. was a key contributor to relative performance. The company experienced strong brand momentum and benefited from its fashion-appropriate assortments and value proposition. Margins have improved because the product line's appeal to customers has required minimal promotional activity. Stock selection was weakest within the technology hardware and equipment industry group. Our position in Cree, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of semiconductors, detracted from relative performance. Increased competition and weaker demand led to lower-than-expected revenues and gross margins. This holding was sold during the first quarter, as its fundamentals deteriorated relative to its peers.

Overall, we are pleased with the portfolio's performance and its current positioning. As always, we will continue to take a balanced approach to our stock selection methodology — considering both value and growth attributes as well as technical signals — to help us pinpoint timely market opportunities.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. It may focus its investments on certain economic sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to any single economic, political or regulatory development. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted price-only index composed of the largest-capitalized United States companies whose common stocks are traded in the US. This larger capitalization, market-oriented index is highly correlated with the S&P 500 Index. Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Conservative Income Strategy Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the expense of the Underlying Scudder Portfolios in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio's estimated indirect expense from investing in the Underlying Scudder Portfolios is based on its allocation of Underlying Scudder Portfolios. In the most recent six-month period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Actual Portfolio Return	Class B

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

** Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each class plus the estimated indirect expense from investing in underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invests, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratio	Class B

Estimated Indirect Expenses of Underlying Scudder Portfolios	.67%

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Conservative Income Strategy Portfolio

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Scudder Conservative Income Strategy Portfolio had a return of 1.62% (Class B shares, unadjusted for contract charges). Since this portfolio invests in underlying portfolios from a broad array of investment styles, performance is analyzed by comparing the portfolio's return with the returns of indices that represent major asset classes. The portfolio's return was above that of major equity indices but below that of bond indices. The portfolio's allocation between stocks and bonds remained close to its target of 25% equity and 75% fixed income over the period.

During the first six months of 2005 the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At the end of June, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. In the US markets, large-cap stocks performed better than small-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth. International stocks were somewhat weaker than domestic issues.

Bonds delivered higher returns than stocks for the period: the return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index was 2.51%. High-yield bonds underperformed investment-grade issues in the early months of 2005, as concerns about the durability of economic growth drove a flight to quality. After a turbulent period in March and early April, the high-yield and emerging market debt sectors rebounded.

Absolute returns were negatively affected by the portfolio's tactical asset allocation, as equities, which underperformed bonds, were slightly overweighted in comparison to the index. Within the predominant fixed income portion of the portfolio, cash was underweighted and bonds were overweighted during most of the period. This positioning helped performance, as the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index outpaced treasury bills.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

Diversification does not eliminate risk. The underlying portfolios invest in individual equity and bond funds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. In addition, the underlying portfolios are subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, and market risks. Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the portfolio could suffer losses on its derivative positions. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market-value-weighted measure of Treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Fixed Income Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,026.80	$ 1,025.40
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.32	$ 5.17
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,021.52	$ 1,019.69
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.31	$ 5.16

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Fixed Income Portfolio	.66%	1.03%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Fixed Income Portfolio

The "conundrum" of falling long-term interest rates in the face of tightening by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) characterized the first half of 2005. The Fed surprised almost no one by continuing its "measured" tightening policy, increasing the fed funds rate by 1.0%. In contrast, the 10-year Treasury yield declined from 4.2% to 3.9% as the yield curve continued to flatten. All of the non-Treasury sectors of the bond market with the exception of corporate bonds outperformed Treasury issues. Against this backdrop, the portfolio posted a positive return of 2.68% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) for the six-month period, outpacing the 2.51% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

Performance relative to the market benefited the most from security selection within the corporate sector. Specifically, bottom-up credit analysis led to relative overweight positions in the utilities and financials sectors relative to the benchmark, two sectors that performed well, and to relative underweight positions in autos sub sector, which dramatically underperformed the corporate market. In the mortgage area, select high-quality holdings with a relatively low level of prepayment risk also contributed to relative performance. In contrast, a general overweight in corporate bonds detracted somewhat from returns. We continue to employ our bottom-up, security-selection-driven process to identify undervalued bonds, with the goal of generating consistent excess returns that are attractive on both an absolute and a risk-adjusted basis.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

Investments by the portfolio in lower-rated bonds present greater risk to principal and income than investments in higher-quality securities. This portfolio invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Additionally, investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and changes in political/economic conditions and market risks. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please see this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

A Treasury's guarantee relates only to the prompt payment of principal and interest and does not remove market risks if the investment is sold prior to maturity.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market-value-weighted measure of Treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities. Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Yield, or coupon rate, is simply the interest paid by a bond at the time it matures (is paid back to the purchaser). A bond with a 10% coupon or interest rate yields 10% of its principal when it matures.

The yield curve is a graph with a left-to-right line that shows how high or low yields are, from the shortest to the longest maturities. Typically (and when the yield curve is characterized as "steep" this is especially true), the line rises from left to right as investors who are willing to tie up their money for a longer period of time are rewarded with higher yields.

^a For the six months ended June 30, 2005 (Unaudited).

^b As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.01, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.01 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 5.54% to 5.46%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to January 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

^c On June 18, 2001, the Portfolio implemented a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. Per share information, for the periods prior to December 31, 2001, has been restated to reflect the effect of the split. Shareholders received 1 share for every 10 shares owned and net asset value per share increased correspondingly.

^d Based on average shares outstanding during the period.

^e The portfolio turnover rate including mortgage dollar roll transactions was 243% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, 204% and 265% for the year ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Global Blue Chip Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,027.70	$ 1,026.30
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 6.94	$ 8.84
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,017.95	$ 1,016.07
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 6.90	$ 8.80

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Global Blue Chip Portfolio	1.38%	1.76%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Global Blue Chip Portfolio

The portfolio outperformed its benchmark in the first half of 2005, returning 2.77% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges). In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index returned -0.70% for the same period, while the average return among the 32 comparable annuity portfolios in Lipper's Global Core category was -0.59%.

The portfolio continues to invest in fundamentally sound companies that we believe will benefit from longer-term themes in the world economy. Our Ultimate Subcontractors theme, which invests in companies whose access to materials enables them to dominate price negotiations, contributed strongly to performance. Many of the companies in this theme are leveraged to oil and natural gas, and the recent spike in energy prices helped these stocks rally. Top contributors included ConocoPhillips (US) (not held in the portfolio at the end of the reporting period) and EnCana Corp. (Canada), as well as Russian energy companies LUKOIL and OAO Gazprom. Supply Chain Dominance, a theme that focuses on companies that are becoming the partner of choice for both suppliers and customers in their respective industries, also contributed to performance. The identification of capital-abundant companies that thrive on intellectual property is the thesis of our Virtuality theme, which produced good results in the second quarter. Among the top performers here were Monsanto Co. (US) and Infosys Technologies Ltd. (India), which rose on the expectation for faster growth in the software services industry. Greater China, a theme that seeks to exploit the growth of consumerism and the emerging middle class in Asia, also finished higher. However, Japan Restructuring, a theme based on the evolving relationship between Japanese government and business, detracted from performance.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Additionally, investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes and market risks. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted measure of stock markets around the world, including North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. The index is calculated using closing local market prices and converts to US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

The Lipper Global Core category includes funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies both inside and outside of the U.S. with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than the 500th-largest company in the S&P/Citigroup World Broad Market Index. Large-cap core funds typically have an average price-to-cash flow sets in ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to the S&P/Citigroup World BMI.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Government & Agency Securities Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,018.20	$ 1,016.50
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.10	$ 5.00
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,021.72	$ 1,019.84
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.11	$ 5.01

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Government & Agency Securities Portfolio	.62%	1.00%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Government & Agency Securities Portfolio

The semiannual period was characterized by solid economic growth accompanied by a mixed employment picture as reflected in the economic indicators. This environment permitted the US Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to maintain its policy of increasing short-term rates in a measured fashion. Despite the rise in short-term interest rates, longer-term rates actually experienced a modest decline over the period, as the financial markets displayed confidence that the Fed was pursuing a policy that would continue to curtail potential inflationary pressures. While the price of oil reached $60 a barrel, the market, for the most part, chose to view this as a check on economic growth rather than a potential source of inflation. This period of mixed economic signals and stable or falling long-term interest rates resulted in modest positive returns for mortgage-backed securities.

During the semiannual period ended June 30, 2005, the portfolio provided a total return of 1.82% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), compared with the 2.10% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers GNMA Index.

During the past six months, we continued to focus on mortgages that will maintain their yield in a wide variety of interest rate scenarios. In doing so, we purchased GNMA mortgages with specific geographic characteristics and smaller loan sizes, which have proved to be less sensitive to early redemptions, or prepayments, by home owners. We shifted cash assets into some CMOs and FHLMC/FNMA securities to enhance yield as well. In anticipation of a stable interest rate environment, we have emphasized 30-year mortgages over 15-year instruments because of the yield advantage of longer-term issues. We believe that the Fed will continue to raise short-term interest rates incrementally over the near term. If interest rates continue to be relatively stable, we expect to maintain our current strategy of emphasizing certain mortgage pool characteristics and longer-term mortgages in order to help maintain an attractive dividend for fund investors.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The government guarantee relates only to the prompt payment of principal and interest and does not remove market risks. Additionally, yields will fluctuate in response to changing interest rates and may be affected by the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Lehman Brothers GNMA Index is an unmanaged market-value-weighted measure of all fixed-rate securities backed by mortgage pools of the Government National Mortgage Association. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Notes to Scudder Government & Agency Securities Portfolio of Investments

* Annualized yield at time of purchase; not a coupon rate.

** Floating rate notes are securities whose yields vary with a designated market index or market rate, such as the coupon-equivalent of the US Treasury Bill rate. These securities are shown at their current rate as of June 30, 2005.

(a) The cost for federal income tax purposes was $368,377,730. At June 30, 2005, net unrealized appreciation for all securities based on tax cost was $1,098,376. This consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost of $2,255,074 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value of $1,156,698.

(b) Mortgage dollar roll included.

(c) At June 30, 2005, these securities have been segregated, in part or in whole, to cover initial margin requirements for open futures contracts.

(d) When issued or forward delivery securities included (see Notes to Financial Statements).

Interest Only (IO) bonds represent the "interest only" portion of payments on a pool of underlying mortgages or mortgage-backed securities. IO securities are subject to prepayment risk on the pool of underlying mortgages.

Principal Only (PO) bonds represent the "principal only" portion of payments on a pool of underlying mortgages or mortgage-backed securities.

At June 30, 2005, open futures contracts purchased were as follows:

Futures	Expiration	Contracts	Aggregate Face Value ($)	Market Value ($)	Net Unrealized Appreciation ($)
10 year US Treasury Note	9/22/2005	122	13,826,142	13,843,187	17,045

At June 30, 2005, open futures contracts sold short were as follows:

Futures	Expiration	Contracts	Aggregate Face Value ($)	Market Value ($)	Net Unrealized Depreciation ($)
2 year US Treasury Note	9/30/2005	59	(12,245,249)	(12,253,562)	(8,313)

Included in the portfolio are investments in mortgage or asset-backed securities which are interests in separate pools of mortgages or assets. Effective maturities of these investments may be shorter than stated maturities due to prepayments. Some separate investments in the Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. issues which have similar coupon rates have been aggregated for presentation purposes in the investment portfolio.

^a For the six months ended June 30, 2005 (Unaudited).

^b As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, gain/losses on paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.08, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.08 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 5.67% to 5.06%.

^c On June 18, 2001, the Portfolio implemented a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. Per share information, for the periods prior to December 31, 2001, has been restated to reflect the effect of the split. Shareholders received 1 share for every 10 shares owned and net asset value per share increased correspondingly.

^d Based on average shares outstanding during the period.

^e The portfolio turnover rate including mortgage dollar roll transactions was 358%, 391%, 536% and 651% for the periods ended June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Growth & Income Strategy Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the expense of the Underlying Scudder Portfolios in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio's estimated indirect expense from investing in the Underlying Scudder Portfolios is based on its allocation of Underlying Scudder Portfolios. In the most recent six-month period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Direct Portfolio Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class B

Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,018.15
Expenses Paid per $1,000**	$ 6.71

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

** Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each class plus the estimated indirect expense from investing in underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invests, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratio	Class B
Direct Portfolio Expense Ratio	.65%
Estimated Indirect Expenses of Underlying Scudder Portfolios	.69%
Estimated Net Annual Portfolio and Underlying Scudder Portfolios Expenses	1.34%

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Growth & Income Strategy Portfolio

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Scudder Growth & Income Strategy Portfolio had a return of 0.71% (Class B shares, unadjusted for contract charges). Since this portfolio invests in underlying portfolios from a broad array of investment styles, performance is analyzed by comparing the portfolio's return with the returns of indices that represent major asset classes. The portfolio's return was above that of major equity indices but below that of bond indices. The portfolio's allocation between stocks and bonds remained close to its target of 60% equity and 40% fixed income over the period.

During the first six months of 2005, the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At the end of June, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. In the US markets, large-cap stocks performed better than small-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth. International stocks were generally stronger than domestic issues.

Bonds delivered higher returns than stocks for the period: the return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index was 2.51%. High-yield bonds underperformed investment-grade issues in the early months of 2005, as concerns about the durability of economic growth drove a flight to quality. After a turbulent period in March and early April, the high-yield and emerging-market debt sectors rebounded.

Absolute returns were negatively affected by the portfolio's tactical asset allocation, as equities, which underperformed bonds, were overweighted. The underlying fixed income funds made a positive contribution to performance. Within fixed income, the portfolio was underweighted cash and overweighted bonds during most of the period. This positioning helped performance, as the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index outpaced treasury bills.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

Diversification does not eliminate risk. The underlying portfolios invest in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. In addition, the underlying portfolios are subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, and market risks. Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the portfolio could suffer losses on its derivative positions. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market-value-weighted measure of Treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Growth Strategy Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the expense of the Underlying Scudder Portfolios in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio's estimated indirect expense from investing in the Underlying Scudder Portfolios is based on its allocation of Underlying Scudder Portfolios. In the most recent six-month period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Direct Portfolio Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00

Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,018.05

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

** Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each class plus the estimated indirect expense from investing in underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invests, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratio	Class B
Direct Portfolio Expense Ratio	.63%
Estimated Indirect Expenses of Underlying Scudder Portfolios	.73%
Estimated Net Annual Portfolio and Underlying Scudder Portfolios Expenses	1.36%

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Growth Strategy Portfolio

During the first six months of 2005, the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At the end of June, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. In the US markets, large-cap stocks performed better than small-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth. International stocks were generally stronger than domestic issues.

Bonds delivered higher returns than stocks for the period: the return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index was 2.51%. High-yield bonds underperformed investment-grade issues in the early months of 2005, as concerns about the durability of economic growth drove a flight to quality. After a turbulent period in March and early April, the high-yield and emerging-market debt sectors rebounded.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Scudder Growth Strategy Portfolio had a return of 0.38% (Class B shares, unadjusted for contract charges). Since this portfolio invests in portfolios in six categories, performance is analyzed by comparing the portfolio's return with the returns of indices that represent each asset class. The portfolio's return was above that of its major equity benchmarks but below that of its bond benchmarks.

The portfolio's allocation between stocks and bonds remained close to its target of 75% equity and 25% fixed income over the period. Absolute returns were negatively affected by the portfolio's tactical asset allocation, as equities, which underperformed bonds, were overweighted. Within fixed income, the portfolio was overweighted bonds during most of the period. This positioning helped performance, as the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index outpaced treasury bills.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

Diversification does not eliminate risk. The underlying portfolios invest in individual equity and bond funds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. In addition, the underlying portfolios are subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, and market risks. Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the portfolio could suffer losses on its derivative positions. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market-value-weighted measure of Treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities.

Index returns assume reinvested dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,008.60	$ 1,007.70
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.39	$ 5.28
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,021.42	$ 1,019.54
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.41	$ 5.31

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder High Income Portfolio	.68%	1.06%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder High Income Portfolio

High-yield bonds provided a positive absolute return during the period. Despite concerns about rising interest rates and higher commodity prices, the solid underpinnings of the market remained in place. Helped by the continued strength in the US economy, high-yield companies generally maintained sound financial positions. Perhaps the best indications of solid fundamentals in the high-yield market were the continuation of low default rates and the ongoing improvement in the ratio of rating upgrades to downgrades. Although the high-yield market's yield spread over Treasuries widened from 3.46% at the end of 2004 to 4.06% on June 30, 2005, it remained considerably below the long-term historical average of approximately 5.71%.

The portfolio produced a total return of 0.86% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), compared with 0.77% for the CS First Boston High Yield Index. We remained focused on adding value through fundamental research rather than making broad predictions about sector performance or interest rates. Our overweight in the land transportation sub sector coupled with overweight positions in Dobson Communications Corp. and OAO Gazprom were positive contributors to return. An underweight in Collins & Aikman Floor Cover Products also benefited performance. An overweight position in Tembec Industries Inc. and an overweight in the building materials sub sector detracted from results. The high-yield market continues to exhibit sound fundamentals, and defaults are expected to remain low. But low default rates will not last forever, meaning that good security selection is paramount at this point in the cycle.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes and market risks. Additionally, the portfolio may invest in lower-quality and nonrated securities which present greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-quality securities. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The quality ratings represent the lower of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") credit ratings. The ratings of Moody's and S&P represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. The Fund's credit quality does not remove market risk.

The CS First Boston High Yield Index (CSFB) is an unmanaged index that is market-weighted, including publicly traded bonds having a rating below BBB by Standard & Poor's and Moody's.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Income & Growth Strategy Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the expense of the Underlying Scudder Portfolios in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio's estimated indirect expense from investing in the Underlying Scudder Portfolios is based on its allocation of Underlying Scudder Portfolios. In the most recent six-month period, the portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

** Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each class plus the estimated indirect expense from investing in underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invests, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratio	Class B
Direct Portfolio Expense Ratio	.75%
Estimated Indirect Expenses of Underlying Scudder Portfolios	.69%
Estimated Net Annual Portfolio and Underlying Scudder Portfolios Expenses	1.44%

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Income & Growth Strategy Portfolio

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Scudder Income & Growth Strategy Portfolio had a return of 1.18% (Class B shares, unadjusted for contract charges). Since this portfolio invests in underlying portfolios from a broad array of investment styles, performance is analyzed by comparing the portfolio's return with the returns of indices that represent major asset classes. The portfolio's return was above that of major equity indices but below that of bond indices. The portfolio's allocation between stocks and bonds remained close to its target of 40% equity and 60% fixed income over the period.

During the first six months of 2005, the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At the end of June, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. In the US markets, large-cap stocks performed better than small-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth. International stocks were generally stronger than domestic issues.

Bonds delivered higher returns than stocks for the period: the return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index was 2.51%. High-yield bonds underperformed investment-grade issues in the early months of 2005, as concerns about the durability of economic growth drove a flight to quality. After a turbulent period in March and early April, the high-yield and emerging-market debt sectors rebounded.

Absolute returns were negatively affected by the portfolio's tactical asset allocation, as equities, which underperformed bonds, were overweighted. Within fixed income, the portfolio was underweighted cash and overweighted bonds during most of the period. This positioning helped performance, as the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index outpaced treasury bills.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

Diversification does not eliminate risk. The underlying portfolios invest in individual equity and bond funds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less that its original cost. In addition, the underlying portfolios are subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, and market risks. Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the portfolio could suffer losses on its derivative positions. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market-value-weighted measure of Treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder International Select Equity Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 990.40	$ 988.10
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.34	$ 6.11
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.43	$ 1,018.65
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.41	$ 6.21

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder International Select Equity Portfolio	.88%	1.24%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder International Select Equity Portfolio

International equities delivered lackluster returns for US dollar investors during the first half of 2005. Although international stocks — especially emerging markets — fared well in local currency terms, the strength of the US dollar erased the majority of those gains and left only the emerging markets in positive territory. For the semiannual period ended June 30, 2005, the portfolio's Class A shares' return, unadjusted for contract charges, was -0.96%, underperforming the -0.04% return of the MSCI EAFE + Emerging Markets Index.

Our positioning in the financials sector was the largest detractor, as the portfolio's real estate linked stocks suffered from the specter of rising interest rates in some regions and continued economic weakness in others. Performance was helped by strong stock selection, particularly in the information technology and health care sectors. Within information technology, stock-specific news lifted the shares of Indra Sistemas SA (Spain) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Korea), both of which announced positive outlooks for 2005. In health care, Roche Holding AG (Switzerland) rose due to positive results for a study relating to its breast cancer drug Herceptin and estimates that annual sales of the drug may double to $1 billion a year.

During the first half of the year, stock prices were influenced by concerns about slower global growth, sustained high oil prices and rising inflation expectations. We anticipate that these risks are short term in nature, as increasing globalization and rising productivity should continue to act as a counterbalance. In the short term, however, we believe the fund is positioned to benefit from these forces through its holdings in the energy and materials sectors.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Additionally, investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes and market risks. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The MSCI EAFE + EM Index (Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East + Emerging Markets Index) is an unmanaged index generally accepted as a benchmark for major overseas markets plus emerging markets. The index is calculated using closing local market prices and converts to US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Large Cap Value Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 981.60	$ 979.70
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.93	$ 5.74
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.83	$ 1,018.99
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.01	$ 5.86

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Large Cap Value Portfolio	.80%	1.18%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Large Cap Value Portfolio

The portfolio's result for the first half of 2005 of -1.84% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) came in below that of our benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which was 1.76%.

The benchmark was affected by the strong showing of mid-cap stocks. In the first half of 2005, mid-cap stocks comprised about 32% of the Russell 1000 Value Index but contributed about 66% of the index's return. As the popularity of mid caps wanes, reversion to the mean may occur and the current difficulty that large value managers have had in beating the value benchmark should dissipate.

During the semiannual period, oil prices climbed on concerns of limited supply and production cutbacks. The portfolio benefited from this trend; however, our sector underweight, when compared to the index, and focus on large, integrated oil firms instead of oil services companies had a negative impact on relative performance. Additionally, ExxonMobil, which rose 13%, has now reached a 6% weight in the index, while the fund has maintained a position about half that size for risk management and diversification.

In technology, the portfolio benefited from good stock selection, which delivered positive results. We were overweight in semiconductor stocks, which rose on the heels of better-than-expected company earnings. We continue to like this undervalued group and believe it will benefit from solid economic growth and rising capital expenditures.

We believe that recent performance below the benchmark suggests substantial underappreciated performance potential within the portfolio.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio is subject to stock market risk. It focuses its investments on certain economic sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to any single economic, political or regulatory development. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read the underlying prospectus for specific details regarding the product's investments and risk profile.

The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index, which consists of those stocks in the Russell 1000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted-growth values.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Portfolio management market commentary is as of June 30, 2005, and may not come to pass. This information is subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Mercury Large Cap Core Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the period ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,041.50	$ 1,040.60
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.06	$ 6.02
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.84	$ 1,018.89
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.01	$ 5.96

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Mercury Large Cap Core Portfolio	1.00%	1.19%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Mercury Large Cap Core Portfolio

The portfolio returned 4.15% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) during the first six months of 2005, while its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, rose 0.11%. The portfolio's performance versus the benchmark benefited most from our holdings in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors. Both stock selection and an overweight in energy also fueled performance. On the flip side, stock selection and an overweight in information technology, security selection in consumer staples and an overweight in the consumer discretionary sector hindered return.

During the six-month period, shares of large-cap value companies outperformed large-cap growth stocks. The Russell 1000 Value Index posted a 1.76% gain, versus the 1.72% decline of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The broad US equity market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, dipped 0.81% for the period.

Among the portfolio's top 10 holdings, ConocoPhillips in the energy sector was the main driver of outperformance versus the benchmark year to date. UnitedHealth Group Inc. also had a positive impact. Conversely, a small overweight in ExxonMobil Corp. slightly detracted from the relative return.

The portfolio's pro-cyclical bias benefited performance during the period, so we maintain this strategy. Accordingly, the portfolio's largest overweights versus the Russell 1000 Index are in the information technology, energy, health care, materials and consumer discretionary sectors, while its most notable underweights are in financials, consumer staples and industrials.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio is subject to stock market risk. It focuses its investments on certain economic sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to any single economic, political or regulatory development. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted price-only index composed of the largest-capitalized United States companies whose common stocks are traded in the US. This larger capitalization, market-oriented index is highly correlated with the S&P 500 Index.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index which consists of those securities in the Russell 1000 Index with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which consists of those stocks in the Russell 1000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted-growth values.

The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Money Market Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these table is meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,011.30	$ 1,009.40
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 2.54	$ 4.43
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,022.27	$ 1,020.38
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 2.56	$ 4.46

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Money Market Portfolio	.51%	.89%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Money Market Portfolio

Short-term interest rates rosesteadily during the semiannual period as investors reacted to rising oil prices, increasing signs of inflationary pressure and the continued series of interest rate increases by the US Federal Reserve Board (the Fed). The federal funds rate stood at 3.25% on June 30, 2005, compared with 2.25% six months earlier, following four hikes of 0.25% by the Fed. The federal funds rate is the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans and is a closely-watched indicator of US Federal Reserve Board monetary policy. The one-year LIBOR rate, an industry standard for measuring one-year money market rates, stood at a four-year high of 3.90% at the close of the period.

The portfolio provided a total return of 1.13% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the 1.07% average return for funds in the Lipper Money Market Funds category for the same period. The seven-day current yield for the portfolio was 2.73% as of June 30, 2005.

Our strategy was to keep the portfolio's average maturity relatively short in order to reduce risk, generally limiting our purchases to three-month-maturity issues and shorter. (Shorter-term securities are generally less risky than longer-term securities and are therefore potentially more attractive in a difficult environment.) From time to time, when the market offered more attractive yields at longer maturities, we added some longer-term issues. Overall, we maintain our conservative investment strategy and our insistence on the highest credit quality within the portfolio.

Performance is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends, and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns. The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the portfolio than the total return quotation. Investment returns will fluctuate.

Risk Considerations

An investment in this portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investment and risk profile.

LIBOR, the London Interbank Offered Rate, is the most widely used benchmark or reference rate for short-term interest rates. LIBOR is the rate of interest at which banks borrow funds from other banks, in large volume, in the international market.

The Lipper Money Market Funds category includes funds that invest in high-quality financial instruments rated in the top two grades with dollar-weighted average maturities of less than 90 days and that intend to keep a constant net asset value. It is not possible to invest directly in a Lipper category.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Small Cap Growth Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,010.30	$ 1,008.80
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.54	$ 5.43
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,021.27	$ 1,019.39
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.56	$ 5.46

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Small Cap Growth Portfolio	.71%	1.09%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Small Cap Growth Portfolio

During the first quarter of 2005, a strong, low-inflation economic environment favored mid- and large-cap stocks over small caps. In the second quarter, however, mixed economic data suggested that growth may be slowing. Over the six-month period, small caps rebounded during the second quarter from their last place first-quarter finish as surging oil prices led investors to move into smaller, specialized companies.

For its most recent semiannual period, the portfolio returned 1.03% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), handily outperforming the - -3.58% return of the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

The largest contributor to the portfolio's return over the six-month period was strong stock selection in the health care sector, particularly within the providers and services industry, which includes our holdings in companies dealing with laser vision-correction and managed care. Positive stock selection within consumer discretionary and information technology also helped returns. The portfolio benefited from an overweight in the consumer discretionary sector and underweight in materials during the period. Based on significantly higher oil prices, energy was the strongest-performing sector in the Russell 2000 Growth Index by a wide margin. However, our stock selection within energy detracted from performance. Going forward, we are optimistic that the portfolio is suitably positioned given the current market environment.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Additionally, stocks of small companies involve greater risk than securities of larger, more-established companies, as they often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be subject to more erratic and abrupt market movements. Finally, derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities and the portfolio could suffer losses on its derivatives positions. Please read this portofolio's prospectus for specific details regarding this product's investments and risk profile.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index (with no defined investment objective) of those securities in the Russell 2000 Index with a higher price-to-book ratio and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Notes to Scudder Small Cap Growth Portfolio of Investments

* Non-income producing security.

(a) The cost for federal income tax purposes was $270,701,136. At June 30, 2005, net unrealized appreciation for all securities based on tax cost was $44,840,656. This consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost of $50,898,425 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value of $6,057,769.

(b) Scudder Cash Management QP Trust is managed by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield at period end.

(c) The Portfolio may purchase securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale ("restricted securities"). Restricted securities are securities which have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. The Portfolio may be unable to sell a restricted security and it may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Moreover, if adverse market conditions were to develop during the period between the Portfolio's decision to sell a restricted security and the point at which the Portfolio is permitted or able to sell such a security, the Portfolio might obtain a price less favorable than the price that prevailed when it decided to sell. This investment practice, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity of the Portfolio.

Schedule of Restricted Securities
Securities	Acquisition Dates	Acquisition Cost ($)	Value ($)	Value as % of Net Assets
Convergent Networks, Inc. "D"	June 2003	—	10,183	.003
FusionOne "D"	October 2000	1,250,002	7,367	.003
Total Restricted Securities			17,550	.006

(d) All or a portion of these securities were on loan (see Notes to Financials Statements). The value of all securities loaned at June 30, 2005 amounted to $38,132,626, which is 13.8% of net assets.

(e) Scudder Daily Assets Fund Institutional, an affiliated fund, is managed by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield at period end.

(f) Represents collateral held in connection with securities lending.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,014.00	$ 1,012.10
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.19	$ 6.04
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.63	$ 1,018.79
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.21	$ 6.06

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio	.84%	1.21%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio

The bond markets began to show more volatility over the past six months. In March and April, high-yield issues in particular were affected by a combination of rich valuations, the US Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed) continuing hikes of short rates, and uncertainty over downgrades to high-yield status for GM and Ford. As the auto picture gained clarity in May, and the economic backdrop in the United States continued to evidence moderate, stable growth, the high-yield sector recovered. Emerging markets debt did not experience as much stress and showed better returns for the period than the high-yield sector.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the portfolio posted a 1.40% total return (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges). This compares with the portfolio benchmarks' returns of 5.52% for the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Plus Index, 1.22% for the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index, 3.20% for the Lehman Brothers US Treasury Index and -3.97% for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index.

During the six months, we modestly decreased our exposure to high-yield and emerging markets bonds in view of the narrower yield advantage they provide following a period of strong performance. In addition to the high-yield and emerging markets sectors, a significant portion of the portfolio is invested in high-quality sovereign, agency and provincial bonds. These include US Treasury bonds, as well as debt of the United Kingdom, countries within the European Union and yen-denominated bonds. While our allocation to emerging markets helped returns, our high yield and global government positioning held back overall portfolio performance.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Additionally, investments by the portfolio in lower-rated bonds present greater risk to principal and income than investments in higher-quality securities. Finally, investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes and market risks. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Plus Index is an unmanaged foreign securities index of US dollar and other external-currency-denominated Brady bonds, loans, Eurobonds and local market debt instruments traded in emerging markets.

The Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index is an unmanaged index which tracks the performance of below-investment-grade US dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the United States domestic market.

The Lehman Brothers US Treasury Index is an unmanaged index reflecting the performance of all public obligations and does not focus on one particular segment of the Treasury market.

The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney World Government Bond Index) is an unmanaged index comprised of government bonds from 18 developed countries, including the US, with maturities greater than one year.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

^a For the six months ended June 30, 2005 (Unaudited).

^b As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.04, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.04 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 5.16% to 4.76%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to January 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

^c On June 18, 2001, the Portfolio implemented a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. Per share information, for the periods prior to December 31, 2001, has been restated to reflect the effect of the split. Shareholders received 1 share for every 10 shares owned and net asset value per share increased correspondingly.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Technology Growth Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 937.00	$ 935.10
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.08	$ 5.90
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.58	$ 1,018.70
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.26	$ 6.16

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Technology Growth Portfolio	.85%	1.23%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Technology Growth Portfolio

Technology was one of the most challenging sectors in the first half of 2005, due largely to investor concerns that a slowing global economy would crimp the industry's sales growth. In this difficult environment, the portfolio returned -6.30% for the six-month period (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) exceeding the -7.33% return of the Goldman Sachs Technology Index. The Russell 1000 Growth Index returned - -1.72% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

We generated the best relative returns in the communications equipment subsector, where positions in Corning Inc. and Motorola Inc. contributed to performance, and in the Internet group, where an underweight in eBay Inc. — which underperformed — benefited returns. The semiconductor sector was also a source of outperformance, as our positions in National Semiconductor Corp. and Broadcom Corp. added value. On the negative side, the portfolio's holdings in software underperformed due largely to weakness in TIBCO Software, Inc.

In terms of portfolio activity, we boosted our weighting in computers and peripherals — largely by adding to International Business Machines Corp. on weakness — and reduced our weighting in software. The portfolio is now slightly overweight in semiconductors, reflecting our belief that the sector is poised for outperformance in the second half. Overall, our sector weightings are more closely in line with the benchmark than they were at the beginning of the period.

Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic that tech can recover from its first-half underperformance, due to the growing financial health of technology companies, the increasing number of reasonably valued tech stocks and the sector's traditional second-half strength.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

Investments by the portfolio in small companies present greater risk of loss than investments in larger, more established companies. Concentration of the portfolio's investment in technology stocks may present a greater risk than investments in a more diversified portfolio. Investments by the portfolio in emerging technology companies present greater risk than investments in more established technology companies. This portfolio is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer companies, increasing its overall potential risk. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding this product's investments and risk profile.

The Goldman Sachs Technology Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index based on a universe of technology-related stocks.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index composed of common stocks of larger US companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Templeton Foreign Value Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 980.10	$ 979.20
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.60	$ 6.58
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.14	$ 1,018.15
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.71	$ 6.71

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Templeton Foreign Value Portfolio	1.14%	1.34%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Templeton Foreign Value Portfolio

The global economy generally grew during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. Apart from western Europe, foreign countries' growth appeared to be beating the expectations of a slowdown. However, the synchronized global recovery is now at least three and a half years old. At this point in the economic cycle, we think it is reasonable for the pace of growth to moderate, which might have been occurring over the past few months. Oil prices remained a major concern for the global economy, as the commodity traded at elevated levels, reaching a high of more than $60 per barrel in June. Although rising energy costs affected companies around the world, many global equity markets produced positive returns in local currencies for the first half of 2005. The US dollar rallied during the period, which significantly reduced these returns when translated into dollars.

Within this environment, the portfolio posted a -1.99% return (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) for the period under review, versus the MSCI ACWI World ex-US Index return of -0.01%. The portfolio benefited from several holdings, including Denmark's ISS commercial services company, which was subject to a buyout bid. Over the period, a leading electronics manufacturer, South Korea's Samsung Electronics, also aided performance as it benefited from strong sales volumes. Australian mining company Iluka Resources performed well for the period, due to favorable demand and pricing for titanium and zircon, as well as takeover speculation.

Detractors from performance for the period included Canada's Alcan, an aluminum manufacturer hurt by lower aluminum prices and increased competition. Another holding, Israel's Check Point Software Technologies a global leader in Internet firewall and security, was weak mainly due to increased competition and concerns about new products not doing as well as projected, as well as slower growth in its core business. And Portugal Telecom hindered the portfolio's performance due to increased competitive pressures in its domestic mobile business, as well as its Brazilian subsidiaries.

At Templeton, our investment focus has always centered on individual companies and longer-term returns. We are confident that regardless of the macroeconomic climate we might encounter, we should continue to find "bargain" investment opportunities. This has been our experience for more than 60 years.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Additionally, investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes and market risks. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) World ex US Index^SM is an unmanaged free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets. As of December 2003 the MSCI ACWI ex US consisted of the following 48 developed and emerging market country indices: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore Free, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Venezuela. The index is calculated using closing local market prices and converts to US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates. Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Portfolio management market commentary is as of June 30, 2005, and may not come to pass. This information is subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

Scudder Total Return Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,007.70	$ 1,005.60
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 2.79	$ 4.67
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,022.02	$ 1,020.13
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 2.81	$ 4.71

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — Scudder Total Return Portfolio	.56%	.94%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

Scudder Total Return Portfolio

During the first six months of 2005, the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At June 30, 2005, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. Large-cap stocks performed better than small-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth.

Bonds delivered higher returns than stocks for the period: Return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index was 2.51%. High-yield bonds underperformed investment-grade issues in the early months of 2005, as concerns about the durability of economic growth drove a flight to quality. After a turbulent period in March and early April, the high-yield and emerging market debt sectors rebounded in the quarter.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the return of Scudder Total Return Portfolio (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) was 0.77%. As expected, since this portfolio invests in a blend of equity and bond securities, its return was between the returns of our major equity and bond benchmarks, the S&P 500 and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Our other equity benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, had a return of -1.72%. The Lipper peer group of balanced funds had an average return of 0.51% for the period.

Over the last six months, the portfolio's equity/fixed-income mix was maintained at close to a neutral position of 60% stocks and 40% bonds, but with a modest overweight in equities. This overweight in equities detracted from performance, since bond returns were higher than equity returns. In the equity portion of the portfolio, stock selection, particularly in the energy and health care sectors, was the major contributor to the portfolio's performance. The lack of utility holdings was negative for performance, as this sector had the second highest return (after energy) in the S&P 500 Index. In the bond portion of the portfolio, individual security selection had the largest positive impact on performance. Exposure to the high-yield and emerging market debt sectors added value. Non-dollar bond holdings added value as well since foreign markets performed better than the US market.

Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. The portfolio also invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged market value-weighted measure of treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index which consists of those securities in the Russell 1000 Index with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

The Lipper Balanced Fund category includes funds whose primary objective is to conserve principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of both stocks and bonds. Typically, the stock/bond ratio ranges around 60%/40%.

^a For the six months ended June 30, 2005 (Unaudited).

^b As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 were included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.03, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.03 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 2.76% to 2.63%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to January 1, 2001 were not restated to reflect this change in presentation.

^c On June 18, 2001, the Portfolio implemented a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. Per share information, for the period prior to December 31, 2001, has been restated to reflect the effect of the split. Shareholders received 1 share for every 10 shares owned and net asset value per share increased correspondingly.

^d Based on average shares outstanding during the period.

^e The portfolio turnover rate including mortgage dollar roll transactions was 153%, 140% and 108% for the periods ended June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Davis Venture Value Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,013.00	$ 1,010.80
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.04	$ 6.88
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.79	$ 1,017.95
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.06	$ 6.90

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS Davis Venture Value Portfolio	1.01%	1.38%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Davis Venture Value Portfolio

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the portfolio returned 1.30% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), compared with its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which had a return of 1.76%.

Important contributors to and detractors from the portfolio's performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index over the course of the six months ended June 30, 2005 include:

Energy companies were the most important contributors to the portfolio's performance over the six-month period. All of the portfolio's energy companies performed well, with EOG Resources, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum and Devon Energy all among the portfolio's top 10 contributors to performance for the period.

The portfolio's largest industry-group holdings were in insurance companies. Progressive and Loews were both among the portfolio's top 10 contributors to performance over the period, while American International Group and Berkshire Hathaway were both among the portfolio's top 10 detractors. Overall, the portfolio's insurance companies hurt performance over the six-month period.

The portfolio also held a significant position in financial companies. As a group, these companies detracted from performance over the six-month period, with American Express and JPMorgan Chase included among the portfolio's top 10 detractors from performance.

Individual companies making important contributions to the portfolio's performance over the period included HCA, a health care equipment and services company; Altria Group, a food, beverage and tobacco company; and H&R Block, a commercial services company.

Individual companies detracting from performance over the period included Tyco International, an industrial conglomerate; Comcast, a media company; and Lexmark International, a computers and peripherals company.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio is subject to stock market and equity risks, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which consists of those stocks in the Russell 1000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted-growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Dreman Financial Services Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 954.30	$ 952.80
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.26	$ 6.10
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.43	$ 1,018.55
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.41	$ 6.31

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS Dreman Financial Services Portfolio	.88%	1.26%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Dreman Financial Services Portfolio

During the first six months of 2005, the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At the end of June, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. Financial services stocks in general underperformed the broad market: The return of the S&P Financial Index was -2.33%.

The portfolio returned -4.57% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges). Performance of our portfolio was disappointing because of negative events specific to three of the portfolio's top 10 holdings, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and American International Group, Inc. (AIG). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are government-sponsored enterprises that operate mainly in the residential mortgage business, have been the subject of negative publicity because they have had to restate earnings. We believe that their growth models are still credible, and we continue to hold significant positions in the stocks. AIG and two former executives are accused of manipulating financial statements and misleading regulators and investors. We believe that this leading international insurance and financial services firm will soon move beyond this scandal, and we expect that the company will grow more rapidly than the insurance industry at large.

Good news for the portfolio and sector as a whole was supplied by the insurance industry and capital markets companies. Holdings such as Allstate Corp., Chubb Corp., Prudential Financial, Inc., Franklin Resources, Inc. and Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. provided double-digit returns for the period.

The portfolio is positioned defensively at this time, a decision we consider appropriate in light of the uncertainty surrounding economic growth, inflation and interest rates. Because it seems likely that interest rates will rise, we are avoiding the areas of financial services that are most sensitive to rising interest rates and are concentrating on areas where we see more attractive risk/reward prospects. These include companies with substantial fee-based revenues and those with exposure to the improving commercial and industrial lending environment.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk. It may focus its investments on certain economic sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to any single economic, political or regulatory development. This may result in greater share price volatility. Additionally, this portfolio is nondiversified and can take larger positions in fewer companies, increasing its overall potential risk. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's (S&P) Financial Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the financial stock market.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Dreman High Return Equity Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,024.40	$ 1,022.90
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.86	$ 5.77
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.98	$ 1,019.09
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.86	$ 5.76

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS Dreman High Return Equity Portfolio	.77%	1.15%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Dreman High Return Equity Portfolio

During the first six months of 2005 the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At the end of June, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. The portfolio returned 2.44% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges).

The most significant positive factor by far was a major overweight in energy stocks, which performed well. We initiated this overweight position approximately 18 months ago, and then at the end of 2004, when oil prices fell somewhat, we took advantage of the drop in prices of oil stocks to significantly increase the overweight. Energy holdings that contributed significantly to performance include Devon Energy Corp., ConocoPhillips, ChevronTexaco Corp. and Occidental Petroleum Corp. Also, we realized a significant gain on a portion of our holding in Kerr-McGee Corp. by taking advantage of an opportunity to tender shares.

Also positive for performance was our holding in tobacco stock Altria Group, Inc. (our largest position). This stock has risen in response to suggestions that a split-up of the company is increasingly likely because the risk of significant monetary damages from pending litigation has declined. Health care holdings, which have hurt performance in past periods, performed better in recent months. In this industry group, pharmaceutical stocks such as Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Wyeth; Pfizer, Inc., and Merck & Co., Inc., recovered from weakness during 2004, when patent challenges and regulatory scrutiny depressed the sector. Performance was hurt by an overweight in financials and particularly by three large holdings — Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and American International Group. While these companies have problems, we believe that all are financially sound companies with good growth prospects, and we continue to hold them in the portfolio.

We believe the portfolio is positioned appropriately for a time of uncertainty in the economy and markets. We have confidence in our time-tested investing philosophy of seeking companies that are financially sound and that have solid growth prospects but have fallen out of favor with the investing public.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio may focus its investments on certain economic sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to any single economic, political or regulatory development. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding this product's investments and risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Dreman Small Cap Value Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,029.60	$ 1,027.30
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.93	$ 5.78
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,020.93	$ 1,019.09
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 3.91	$ 5.76

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS II Dreman Small Cap Value Portfolio	.78%	1.15%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Dreman Small Cap Value Portfolio

During the first six months of 2005, the US stock market exhibited considerable volatility, as investors reacted to economic news that was somewhat contradictory. At the end of June, the S&P 500 Index was close to its level at the beginning of the year; the total return of the index for the six-month period was -0.81%. Small-cap stocks, lagged the large-cap market after several years of higher returns than large-cap stocks. Among small-cap stocks, as in the broader market, value stocks performed better than growth stocks. The Russell 2000 Value Index returned 0.90% for the six-month period.

The portfolio returned 2.96% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. The most significant positive factor in this performance was an overweight in energy stocks. Holdings that performed especially well were ATP Oil & Gas Corp., Energy Partners Ltd. and Vintage Petroleum, which we sold after it met our price target. The fund's performance also benefited from a significant overweight relative to our small-cap benchmark in industrials, which stand to gain from increased business investment. Holdings in the industrials sector that contributed to performance include Watts Water Technologies, Inc., EMCOR Group, Inc., General Cable Corp., Precision Castparts Corp. and Oshkosh Truck Corp.

A significant underweight in financials was positive for performance; we adopted this stance in anticipation that rising interest rates would hurt small-cap banks and thrifts. Our pharmaceuticals position was modestly negative, as holdings such as Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc., and Perrigo Co. were down on weak earnings reports. One positive in health care was the February announcement that portfolio holding Accredo Health, Inc., has agreed to be acquired by Medco Health Solutions, Inc.

The small-cap market can be volatile, and this is especially true when there is so much uncertainty about interest rates, inflation and the direction of the economy. Based on our contrarian investment philosophy, we welcome opportunities to buy stocks of good companies with solid growth prospects at prices below what we see as their intrinsic value.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk. Stocks of small companies involve greater risk than securities of larger, more-established companies, as they often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be exposed to more erratic and abrupt market movements. The fund may focus its investments on certain economic sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to any single economic, political, or regulatory development. This may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding this product's investments and risk profile.

The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The Russell 2000 Value Index is an unmanaged index that consists of those stocks in the Russell 2000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Index 500 Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, Class B shares of the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Index 500 Portfolio

The economic news was generally good over the last six months. Employment numbers remained solid, consumer spending continued strong, and there was increasing evidence of rising business investment in information technology and capital items such as plants and equipment. However, there was considerable apprehension about whether rising energy prices would spark more-generalized inflation, with its negative effects on consumer spending and business investment. Expressing concern about inflation, the US Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) has been raising short-term rates steadily since June 2004.

As of June 30, 2005, the US stock market (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) was close to its level at the beginning of the calendar year, after a downward move in the early months of the year was followed by a modest rally with considerable volatility in May and June. For the six-month period, the S&P 500 Index returned -0.81% compared with the portfolio's return of -0.97% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges). Since the portfolio's investment strategy is to replicate, as closely as possible, before the deduction of expenses, the performance of the S&P 500 Index, the portfolio's return is normally close to the return of the index.

For the semiannual period, six of the 10 industry sectors within the S&P 500 Index had negative returns, and the other four sectors had positive returns. Driven by rising oil prices, energy was the strongest sector by far, with a return of 19.89%, followed by utilities, which had a return of 15.24%. Health care had a return of 3.51%, and consumer staples was slightly positive, with a return of 0.03%. The weakest sector was materials, with a return of -7.49%. Other negative sectors and their returns were consumer discretionary (-6.54%), information technology (-5.74%), industrials (-4.83%), telecommunications services (-4.49%) and financials (-2.33%).

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio may not be able to mirror the S&P 500 Index closely enough to track its performance for several reasons, including the portfolio's cost to buy and sell securities, as well as the flow of money into and out of the portfolio. This portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Additionally, derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities and the portfolio could suffer losses on its derivatives positions. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS INVESCO Dynamic Growth Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,013.00	$ 1,012.00
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 6.49	$ 8.38
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,018.35	$ 1,016.46
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 6.51	$ 8.40

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS INVESCO Dynamic Growth Portfolio	1.30%	1.68%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS INVESCO Dynamic Growth Portfolio

For the first half of 2005, SVS INVESCO Dynamic Growth Portfolio slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index. Whereas the portfolio returned 1.30% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), the index returned 1.70%. During the six-month period, we concentrated positions in the information technology, health care and consumer discretionary sectors. In addition, we added to the portfolio's health care, consumer discretionary, information technology, energy and consumer staples holdings, while reducing exposure to industrials and financials.

During the period, the information technology sector was the largest contributor to the portfolio's performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index. Overweight positions in the telecommunications and energy sectors also contributed to relative performance. Health care was the largest detractor from performance, due mainly to stock selection in the health care equipment and supplies industry, which performed below expectations. Stock picks in the industrials sector also detracted from the portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark.

Effective August 1, 2005, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc. will become the subadvisor to the portfolio.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

Stocks of medium-sized companies involve greater risk as they often have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and may be sensitive to erratic and abrupt market movements more so than securities of larger, more-established companies. Additionally, the portfolio may also focus its investments on certain industry sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to any single industry or regulatory development. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Russell Midcap® Growth Index is an unmanaged index composed of common stocks of midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Janus Growth And Income Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,013.50	$ 1,011.20
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.94	$ 6.78
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.89	$ 1,018.05
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.96	$ 6.80

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS Janus Growth And Income Portfolio	.99%	1.36%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Janus Growth And Income Portfolio

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the portfolio gained 1.35% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) versus a -1.72% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Among exceptional individual performers during the semiannual period, Aetna, Inc., and UnitedHealth Group, Inc., continued to drive home strong results. I believe that we are in a robust health care product and services cycle, within which both Aetna and UnitedHealth are benefiting from their ability to provide a wide range of innovative, consumer-driven services, such as health savings accounts.

Our energy holdings also contributed nicely to performance. I believe that oil and energy prices will remain high this year and next year, due to the tight market. Our oil supply-and-demand model suggests that increased energy demand from worldwide economic growth may eat into OPEC's spare production capacity.

ExxonMobil Corp. has an enormous resource base totaling more than 72 billion barrels of oil, but more important, the company has established the best record of investment discipline among its peers, resulting in the strongest record of returns on invested capital. Likewise, EnCana Corp., the largest producer of natural gas in North America, has a vast land position in Canada, which enables the company to engage in a low-risk development strategy of its resources. Suncor Energy, Inc., is an investment in the potential of Canada's vast oil sands. Although oil sands are expensive to develop, they pose no exploration risk, and these assets should become increasingly attractive in a high-oil-price environment.

Select technology and consumer discretionary holdings negatively affected performance. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is one of the largest positions in the portfolio at approximately 3.5% of total assets. Following numerous conversations with information technology purchasing managers, industry consultants, sales partners and supply chain partners, I am confident that AMD's Opteron and Athlon 64 microprocessors are gaining acceptance in the marketplace. The stock was weak this period, as earnings fell short of expectations due to continued weakness in the flash memory business. From a valuation perspective, I believe that AMD offers significant upside once the company establishes sustainable profitability in its microprocessor business.

Another laggard during the period was Harman International Industries Inc., which owns a portfolio of well-known audio brands including Harman Kardon, JBL and Infinity. Harman is also the leading provider of infotainment systems for luxury cars. Our holding in Harman was a major contributor to performance last year, but the stock traded lower during the first half of 2005 because of fears that the company is losing its competitive edge in the infotainment segment. Our research suggests that this fear is unwarranted, and I remain enthusiastic about the near-term and long-term prospects for the company.

I believe that this difficult market environment will continue to favor strong stock-picking. I welcome this challenge, as I am supported by a talented and growing analyst pool. My strategy is to stay the course by owning what I believe are the best companies and opportunistically buying those that may have temporarily fallen out of favor.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. The portfolio also invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding this product's investments and risk profile.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index composed of common stocks of larger US companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Janus Growth Opportunities Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 994.30	$ 990.90
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.90	$ 6.76
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.89	$ 1,018.00
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 4.96	$ 6.85

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS Janus Growth Opportunities Portfolio	.99%	1.37%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Janus Growth Opportunities Portfolio

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, SVS Janus Growth Opportunities Portfolio returned -0.57% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), while its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, returned -1.72%.

The portfolio's outperformance in the period can be attributed to favorable stock selection within the information technology (IT) and health care sectors. Strong pockets of growth within the IT sector benefited a number of holdings in this area. Meanwhile, the solid gains posted by the health care portion of the portfolio resulted primarily from select biotech and HMO holdings. HMOs have benefited from cost cutting, increased enrollment and improving margins. Weak spots in the portfolio included industrials, where a number of individual picks fell short of portfolio management's expectations.

From a broader perspective, the well-publicized rise in the price of oil has yet to significantly crimp economic growth. We're keeping a close eye on energy prices, as well as developments in interest rates, the value of the dollar and the domestic housing industry.

Still anticipating somewhat of a slowdown in the next couple of quarters, we've widened our focus to include companies that don't necessarily rely on a robust economy for growth. Combined with our insistence on finding opportunities that have been discounted by the market, we'll continue to strive for benchmark-beating returns.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

This portfolio is subject to stock market risk. The portfolio may at times have significant exposure to certain industry groups, which may react similarly to market developments (resulting in greater price volatility). The portfolio also may have significant exposure to foreign markets (which include risks such as currency fluctuation and political uncertainty). Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index composed of common stocks of larger US companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS MFS Strategic Value Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent period, the Portfolio limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 986.30	$ 984.20
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.66	$ 7.53
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.09	$ 1,017.21
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.76	$ 7.65

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS MFS Strategic Value Portfolio	1.15%	1.53%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS MFS Strategic Value Portfolio

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, SVS MFS Strategic Value Portfolio provided a total return of -1.37% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges). In comparison, the portfolio's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 1.76%.

Relative to the portfolio's benchmark, utilities, telecommunication services, technology, and energy were the portfolio's weakest-performing sectors over the period. In telecommunication services, stock selection hurt relative performance as our position in Verizon Communications, Inc., declined over the period.

Within technology, our positions in communications equipment company Nortel Networks Corp. and network security software company Symantec Corp., neither of which is a benchmark constituent, and enterprise software developer Computer Associates, which we sold during the period, detracted from results relative to the benchmark. In addition to stock selection, our overweight position in the weak-performing tech sector held back relative performance.

Our overall underweighting in the strongly performing energy sector significantly hurt relative results. Although stock selection in this sector did aid relative results, not holding oil and gas giants ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips detracted from performance which was held in the benchmark during the period.

Positions in other sectors that hurt relative performance included newsprint maker Bowater, Inc. manufacturing conglomerate Tyco International Ltd. and media company Viacom, Inc.

Health care was the portfolio's strongest-performing sector over the period, relative to the benchmark. Although security selection within health care held back relative results, our overweight position in this strongly performing sector significantly aided returns. Our decision to underweight the automobile, housing, as well as the industrial goods and services industries (all of which performed poorly), also helped relative results.

Positions in other sectors that contributed to relative performance included drilling-rig operator GlobalSantaFe Corp., offshore drilling company Noble Corp., oil and gas producer Devon Energy Corp., and defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Portfolio returns during the period reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio is subject to stock market and equity risks, meaning stocks in the portfolio may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which consists of those stocks in the Russell 1000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted-growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Oak Strategic Equity Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 908.10	$ 905.70
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.39	$ 7.13
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.14	$ 1,017.31
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.71	$ 7.55

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS Oak Strategic Equity Portfolio	1.14%	1.51%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Oak Strategic Equity Portfolio

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the portfolio returned -9.19% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges), as compared to its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which declined 1.72% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. The year-to-date underperformance can be attributed in large part to an overweight in the technology sector and an underweight in energy-related stocks. Energy continued to perform well during the first half of the year, as oil reached highs of $61 a barrel. Oak Associates does not manage the portfolio in relationship to a benchmark and, therefore, did not automatically have exposure to energy. Oak has continued to avoid the sector, maintaining the belief that its performance is tied to the short-term inflation of commodities  — which is inconsistent with our three- to five-year investment time horizon.

While on-line retailer eBay, Inc. was a significant contributor to performance in 2004, the company detracted from performance in the first half of 2005. Although eBay issued solid guidance early in the year, investors were expecting more. The less-than-anticipated earnings was a result of the company's plan to significantly increase capital spending on its infrastructure buildup, particularly in China and its PayPal division. Another detractor included Symbol Technologies, Inc. Symbol had a disappointing second quarter, during which the company lowered revenue guidance on two separate occasions, related to weakness in Europe and the retail end market. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) market continues to be a bright spot for Symbol, and its cash flow is strong. We continue to hold both companies in the portfolio, in light of our expectations for their long-term growth potential.

Stock selection within the health care, financials and the technology sectors contributed positively to performance. Affymetrix, Inc. and Medtronic, Inc. were health care standouts in the portfolio for the first half. Gene chip maker, Affymetrix continued to dominate the personalized medicine market and announced plans to acquire ParAllele BioScience, Inc. during the year. Medtronic helped performance as well, showing strength in its defibrillators, spinal products and the diabetes care market segments over the period, and we continue to hold the company for its high-quality medical technology franchise that focuses on reaching unmet medical needs. IT-services provider Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. had another strong quarter during the reporting period and continues to benefit from the trend toward outsourcing.

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

The portfolio may concentrate investments in specific sectors, which creates special risk considerations. Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the portfolio could suffer losses on its derivative positions. While the portfolio does not concentrate in any industry, to the extent that the portfolio has exposure to a given industry or sector, any factors affecting that industry or sector could affect the value of portfolio securities. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index which consists of those securities in the Russell 1000 Index with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

SVS Turner Mid Cap Growth Portfolio

As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical Portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended June 30, 2005
Actual Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,005.10	$ 1,002.00
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.72	$ 7.59
Hypothetical 5% Portfolio Return	Class A	Class B
Beginning Account Value 1/1/05	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00
Ending Account Value 6/30/05	$ 1,019.09	$ 1,017.21
Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 5.76	$ 7.65

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

Annualized Expense Ratios	Class A	Class B
Scudder Variable Series II — SVS Turner Mid Cap Growth Portfolio	1.15%	1.53%

For more information, please refer to the Portfolio's prospectus.

These tables do not reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option.

Management Summary June 30, 2005

SVS Turner Mid Cap Growth Portfolio

For the first half of 2005, SVS Turner Mid Cap Growth Portfolio returned 0.51% (Class A shares, unadjusted for contract charges) versus 1.70% for the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. Three phenomena served as share-price dampeners: rising interest rates, rising oil prices and sporadically rising inflation. The Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) boosted short-term rates to 3.25%. Oil prices rose about 40%, at one point in June hitting a 22-year high of $60.54 a barrel. At various times, the consumer price index rose at an annual rate of 3% — far from catastrophic but nonetheless higher than it had been for some time. The fear was that upticks in interest rates, oil prices and inflation would depress consumer spending, business investment, corporate profits and, consequently, stock prices.

Growth-oriented holdings in the consumer discretionary and utilities/communication sectors contributed the most to performance. Stocks that did especially well were in the apparel/footwear, wireless telecommunications and newspaper publishing industries. The biggest detractor from performance was the portfolio's large weighting in health care stocks. Stocks that fared poorly included holdings in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

We believe investors will gradually realize that stocks are reasonably valued, especially in relation to bonds, and that earnings should be satisfactory. We've seen a pattern over the past several quarters of companies exceeding Wall Street's earnings expectations. Those expectations have been modest and thus capable of being exceeded. If earnings keep coming in above the targets, then we believe that the market should respond positively, as it has in the past.

Turner Investment Partners, Inc., Subadvisor to the Portfolio

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance. Performance doesn't reflect charges and fees ("contract charges") associated with the separate account that invests in the portfolio or any variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract for which the portfolio is an investment option. These charges and fees will reduce returns.

Risk Considerations

Stocks of medium-sized companies involve greater risks than securities of larger, more-established companies, as they often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be subject to more erratic and abrupt market movements. Please read this portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Russell Midcap® Growth Index is an unmanaged index composed of common stocks of midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike portfolio returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Variable Series II (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust offers thirty portfolios (the "portfolio(s)"), including four portfolios that invest primarily in existing Scudder Portfolios ("Underlying Portfolios"). Each Underlying Portfolio's accounting policies and investment holdings are outlined in the Underlying Portfolio's financials statements and are available upon request.

Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest. The Trust offers two classes of shares (Class A shares and Class B shares) except Scudder Conservative Income Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Growth & Income Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Growth Strategy Portfolio and Scudder Income & Growth Strategy Portfolio, which offer Class B shares only. Sales of Class B shares are subject to record keeping fees up to 0.15% and Rule 12b-1 fees under the 1940 Act equal to an annual rate of 0.25%, of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares of the applicable Portfolio. Class A shares are not subject to such fees.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain portfolio-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class (including the applicable 12b-1 fee and record keeping fee). Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

The Trust's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments in securities and Underlying Portfolios are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.

Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Trustees of the Portfolios. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from a broker-dealer. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies and Scudder Cash Management QP Trust are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investments in the Underlying Portfolios are valued at the net asset value per share of each class of the Underlying Portfolios as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees. The Portfolios may use a fair valuation model to value international equity securities in order to adjust for events which may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the close of the New York Stock Exchange.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Trust are maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

Repurchase Agreements. The portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the portfolios, through their custodian or sub-custodian bank, receive delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the portfolios have the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the portfolios' claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Securities Lending. Each portfolio, except Scudder Money Market Portfolio, Scudder Conservative Income Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Growth & Income Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Growth Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Income & Growth Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Mercury Large Cap Core Portfolio and Scudder Templeton Foreign Value Portfolio, may lend securities to financial institutions. The portfolios retain beneficial ownership of the securities they have loaned and continue to receive interest and dividends paid by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The portfolio requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the portfolio consisting of liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The portfolio may invest the cash collateral into a joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. The portfolios receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net fees paid to a lending agent. Either the portfolios or the borrower may terminate the loan. The portfolios are subject to all investment risks associated with the value of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract between a buyer and a seller of protection against a pre-defined credit event. The Company may buy or sell credit default swap contracts to seek to increase the Company's income, to add leverage to the portfolio, or to hedge the risk of default on portfolio securities. As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Company would be required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a US or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation, which would likely result in a loss to the Company. In return, the Company would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Company would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. The Company may also buy credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities, in which case the Company would function as the counterparty referenced above. This would involve the risk that the contract may expire worthless. It would also involve credit risk — that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Company in the event of a default. When the Company sells a credit default swap contract it will "cover" its commitment. This may be achieved by, among other methods, maintaining cash or liquid assets equal to the aggregate notional value of the underlying debt obligations for all outstanding credit default swap contracts sold by the Company.

Credit default swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from the counterparty and the change in value, if any, is recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss. An upfront payment made by the Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio, as the protection buyer, is recorded as an asset on the statement of assets and liabilities. An upfront payment received by the Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio, as the protection seller, is recorded as a liability on the statement of assets and liabilities. Under the terms of the credit default swap contracts, the Company receives or makes payments semi-annually based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount. These payments are recorded as a realized gain or loss on the statement of operations. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses.

Options. An option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (call option), or sell to (put option), the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. Certain options, including options on indices, will require cash settlement by the portfolio if the option is exercised. The portfolios may enter into option contracts in order to hedge against potential adverse price movements in the value of portfolio assets; as a temporary substitute for selling selected investments; to lock in the purchase price of a security or currency which it expects to purchase in the near future; as a temporary substitute for purchasing selected investments; and to enhance potential gain.

The liability representing the portfolio's obligation under an exchange traded written option or investment in a purchased option is valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices or at the most recent asked price (bid for purchased options) if no bid and asked price are available. Over-the-counter written or purchased options are valued using dealer-supplied quotations. Gain or loss is recognized when the option contract expires or is closed.

If the portfolio writes a covered call option, the portfolio foregoes, in exchange for the premium, the opportunity to profit during the option period from an increase in the market value of the underlying security above the exercise price. If the portfolio writes a put option it accepts the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying security below the exercise price. Over-the-counter options have the risk of the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The portfolio's maximum exposure to purchased options is limited to the premium initially paid. In addition, certain risks may arise upon entering into option contracts including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the portfolio's ability to close out an option contract prior to the expiration date and that a change in the value of the option contract may not correlate exactly with changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (settlement date). The portfolios may enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated interest rate, currency or equity market changes and for duration management, risk management and return enhancement purposes.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the portfolio is required to deposit with a financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the portfolio dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the portfolio. When entering into a closing transaction, the portfolio will realize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract to sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts, including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the portfolio's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with the changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to hedge, the portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange contract (forward currency contract) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The portfolios may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings and to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. Sales and purchases of forward currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain (loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the difference between the value of a forward currency contract to buy and a forward currency contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

Loan Participations/Assignments. The Portfolios may invest in US dollar-denominated fixed and floating rate loans ("Loans") arranged through private negotiations between a foreign sovereign entity and one or more financial institutions ("Lenders"). The Portfolios invest in such Loans in the form of participations in Loans ("Participations") or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties ("Assignments"). Participations typically result in the Portfolios having a contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the sovereign borrower. The Portfolios have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which they are entitled from the Lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Portfolios generally have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the Loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Portfolios will not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Portfolios assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. Scudder Fixed Income Portfolio, Scudder Government & Agency Securities Portfolio and Scudder Total Return Portfolio entered into mortgage dollar rolls in which each portfolio sells to a bank or broker/dealer (the "counterparty") mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on a fixed date. The counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made on the security while it is the holder. Each portfolio receives compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is paid in the form of a lower price for the security upon its repurchase, or alternatively, a fee. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price and a cash settlement made at each renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

Mortgage dollar rolls may be treated for purposes of the 1940 Act as borrowings by each portfolio because they involve the sale of a security coupled with an agreement to repurchase. A mortgage dollar roll involves costs to each portfolio. For example, while each portfolio receives compensation as consideration for agreeing to repurchase the security, each portfolio forgoes the right to receive all principal and interest payments while the counterparty holds the security. These payments to the counterparty may exceed the compensation received by each portfolio, thereby effectively charging each portfolio interest on its borrowings. Further, although each portfolio can estimate the amount of expected principal prepayment over the term of the mortgage dollar roll, a variation in the actual amount of prepayment could increase or decrease the cost of each portfolio's borrowing.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into mortgage dollar rolls from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments. Additionally, the value of such securities may change adversely before each portfolio is able to repurchase them. There can be no assurance that each portfolio's use of the cash that it receives from a mortgage dollar roll will provide a return that exceeds its borrowing costs.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. Several of the portfolios may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the portfolio enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the portfolio until payment takes place. At the time the portfolio enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Federal Income Taxes. The portfolios' policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the portfolios paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At December 31, 2004, the following portfolios had an approximate net tax basis capital loss carryforward which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until the following expiration dates, whichever occurs first:

* Certain of these losses may be subject to limitations under Section 381-383 of the Internal Revenue Code.

For the period from November 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, the following portfolios incurred approximate net realized capital losses as follows:

Portfolio	Net Realized Capital Loss ($)
Scudder Aggressive Growth Portfolio	12,000
Scudder Fixed Income Portfolio	827,000
Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio	266,000
SVS Davis Venture Value Portfolio	576,000
SVS Dreman Financial Services Portfolio	330,000

As permitted by tax regulations, the portfolios intend to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Distributions of net investment income, if any, for all portfolios except the Scudder Money Market Portfolio, are made annually. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the portfolio if not distributed and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually. All of the net investment income of the Scudder Money Market Portfolio is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, a portfolio may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the portfolio.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Expenses. Expenses arising in connection with a specific portfolio are allocated to that portfolio. Trust expenses are allocated between the portfolios in proportion to their relative net assets.

Offering Costs. Offering costs for Scudder Conservative Income Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Growth & Income Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Growth Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Income & Growth Strategy Portfolio, Scudder Mercury Large Cap Core Portfolio and Scudder Templeton Foreign Value Portfolio were paid in connection with the offering of shares and are being amortized over one year.

Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolios' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign withholding taxes. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the portfolio is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes for all portfolios, with the exception of securities in default of principal. Distributions of income and capital gains from the Underlying Portfolios are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The portfolios pay each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

Scudder Cash Management QP Trust. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the portfolios may invest in the Scudder Cash Management QP Trust (the "QP Trust") and other affiliated funds managed by the Advisor. The QP Trust seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The QP Trust does not pay the Advisor a management fee for the affiliated funds' investments in the QP Trust.

D. Investing in High Yield Securities

Investing in high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in US Government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk bonds." Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities.

E. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States of America. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements and their prices more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States of America.

F. Expense Reductions

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Advisor agreed to reimburse the Portfolios which represents a portion of the fee savings expected to be realized by the Advisor related to the outsourcing by the Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider in the following amounts:

I. Line of Credit

The Trust and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.1 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent.

J. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including Scudder Investments. It is not possible to determine what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the Scudder funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain Scudder funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each Scudder fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable Scudder funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. Based on currently available information, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a Scudder fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.

K. Fund Merger

On March 9, 2005, the Trustees of the SVS Index 500 Portfolio approved, in principle, the merger of the Portfolio into Scudder VIT Equity 500 Index Fund, which is managed by the same portfolio manager. Completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including final approval by the Portfolio's Trustees and approval by the shareholders of the Portfolio at a shareholder meeting expected to be held within approximately the next three months.

Investment Management and Sub-Advisory Agreement Approvals

SVS Janus Growth And Income Portfolio

At its March 9, 2005 meeting, the Board considered a proposal by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (the "Advisor"), the investment adviser to the SVS Janus Growth And Income Portfolio (the "fund"), that the Board approve new management and sub-advisory fee schedules for the fund.

The Board, and the Independent Trustees, normally consider the renewal of the fund's investment management and sub-advisory agreements annually pursuant to a process that concludes at the Board's September Board meeting following a multi-month review process. In connection with its annual consideration of the investment management and sub-advisory agreements, the Board considered the following factors, among others, when determining whether to approve or continue the agreements:

the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor and sub-advisor

the investment performance of the fund and the Advisor and sub-advisor

the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund

the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows

whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors

In response to a request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor submitted a proposal to reduce the investment management fees paid by the fund. The Advisor proposed that the annual investment management fees be 0.750% of average net assets up to $250 million, 0.725% of the next $750 million, 0.700% of the next $1.5 billion and 0.675% thereafter, and that the annual sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Advisor to the sub-advisor, Janus Capital Management, LLC ("Janus"), be reduced to 0.450% of average net assets up to $25 million, 0.400% of the next $125 million, 0.375% of the next $600 million and 0.350% thereafter. At its March 9, 2005 meeting, the Board considered the proposal, noting in particular the Advisor's representation that, notwithstanding the lower fee schedules, there would be no diminution in the quality or nature of the services provided by the Advisor and Janus to the fund. The Board concluded the fee reductions were appropriate. The Board therefore determined to approve the amended investment management and sub-advisory agreements to take effect on May 1, 2005. The Board is currently reviewing the amended management and sub-advisory agreements as part of its annual contract review process that will culminate at the Board's September 2005 meeting.

SVS Janus Growth Opportunities Portfolio

At its March 9, 2005 meeting, the Board considered a proposal by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (the "Advisor"), the investment adviser to the SVS Janus Growth Opportunities Portfolio (the "fund"), that the Board approve new management and sub-advisory fee schedules for the fund.

The Board, and the Independent Trustees, normally consider the renewal of the fund's investment management and sub-advisory agreements annually pursuant to a process that concludes at the Board's September Board meeting following a multi-month review process. In connection with its annual consideration of the investment management and sub-advisory agreements, the Board considered the following factors, among others, when determining whether to approve or continue the agreements:

the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor and sub-advisor

the investment performance of the fund and the Advisor and sub-advisor

the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund

the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows

whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors

In response to a request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor submitted a proposal to reduce the investment management fees paid by the fund. The Advisor proposed that the annual investment management fees be 0.750% of average net assets up to $250 million, 0.725% of the next $750 million, 0.700% of the next $1.5 billion and 0.675% thereafter, and that the annual sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Advisor to the sub-advisor, Janus Capital Management, LLC ("Janus"), be reduced to 0.450% of average net assets up to $25 million, 0.400% of the next $125 million, 0.375% of the next $600 million and 0.350% thereafter. At its March 9, 2005 meeting, the Board considered the proposal, noting in particular the Advisor's representation that, notwithstanding the lower fee schedules, there would be no diminution in the quality or nature of the services provided by the Advisor and Janus to the fund.

The Board is currently reviewing the amended management and sub-advisory agreements as part of its annual contract review process that will culminate at the Board's September 2005 meeting.

SVS INVESCO Dynamic Growth Portfolio

In connection with a proposed change in sub-advisor (from INVESCO Institutional (N.A.) Inc. ("INVESCO") to Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc. ("SBAM")), discussed further below, at the Board of Trustees meeting on May 11, 2005, Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor") proposed to the Board that the SVS INVESCO Dynamic Growth Portfolio (the "fund") adopt a "manager-of-managers" structure relating to its sub-advisory relationship. As part of the conversion to a "manager-of-managers" structure, DeIM proposed that a new investment management agreement with DeIM for the fund (the "New Agreement") be approved by the Board. As part of the change in sub-advisor, DeIM also proposed to lower its investment management fees to reflect the lower fees charged by SBAM.

The Board, and the Independent Trustees, normally consider the renewal of the fund's investment management and sub-advisory agreements annually pursuant to a process that concludes at the Board's September meeting following a multi-month review process. In connection with its last annual consideration of the current investment management agreement (the "Current Agreement") in September 2004, the Board considered the following factors, among others, in determining to continue the Agreement: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor; (ii) the investment performance of the fund and the Advisor; (iii) the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors. In connection with the Board's consideration of the New Agreement, the Trustees took note of their previous considerations as well as considering that the management fee schedule proposed under the New Agreement is lower than the current fee schedule. In addition, the Board approved an amendment of the Current Agreement, effective August 1, 2005, to implement a new management fee schedule as of the date of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, as discussed below. The Board also considered the Advisor's representation that there would be no diminution in services provided in connection with the amendment to the Current Agreement to reflect the new management fee schedule.

The Board approved the amendment to the Current Agreement at the May 11, 2005 meeting, and also approved the New Agreement and recommended its approval to shareholders. In approving the amendment to the Current Agreement and the New Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed materials from the Advisor relating to the proposed management fee and services to be provided as well as other information, and the Independent Trustees were advised by independent counsel regarding their duties in connection with contract approvals.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services and Investment Performance. The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the administrative, legal and other services provided by DeIM. The Board considered the size, education and experience of DeIM's staff, its use of technology and its approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research and management personnel. The Board also considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by DeIM and its affiliated companies. The Board noted that DeIM previously delegated to INVESCO, and would delegate to SBAM, responsibility for furnishing a continuous investment program for the fund, and making investment decisions with respect to the fund's assets. The Board considered DeIM's continuing responsibility to oversee whoever is serving as sub-advisor. The Board noted that the Advisor conducted an extensive search for a successor to INVESCO, performed extensive due diligence on the proposed successor, including retaining an independent entity to assess SBAM, and provided the Board with information on SBAM's investment approach. The Board also reviewed information regarding the SBAM Aggressive Growth Team, including the investment performance of a portfolio managed by the team in a strategy similar to that which SBAM will apply to the fund. Based on the information provided and the Board's familiarity with the Advisor, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by DeIM were appropriate.

Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the management fee rate proposed for the fund under the amendment to the Current Agreement and the New Agreement and the management fees of funds in a peer group considered by DeIM to be the fund's most direct peers in the variable annuity marketplace. The Board considered that the management fee rate under the amendment to the Current Agreement and the New Agreement was lower than the management fee rate under the Current Agreement. The Board considered the new spread between the management fee under the amendment to the Current Agreement and the New Agreement and the SBAM sub-advisory fee rate and reviewed an asset-weighted spread analysis for the new spread compared against the spread under the prior sub-advisory agreement with INVESCO. The Board considered that the new spread was lower. The Board also considered information provided by the Advisor on the impact of the new management fee schedule on the fund's overall expenses, and the expense caps to which the Advisor had agreed. The Board concluded that the management fee schedule was reasonable and appropriate in light of the quality of services provided by the Advisor and the spread it would receive.

Profitability. In connection with its annual consideration of the Current Agreement, the Board had considered the level of DeIM's profits with respect to the management of the fund, including a review of DeIM's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the fund. The Board considered the profits realized by DeIM in connection with the operation of the fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund. The Board considered, in connection with the New Agreement, that any profitability achieved by the Advisor under the Current Agreement might be reduced because of the lower management fee rate. The Board concluded that the anticipated profitability of the New Agreement to the Advisor was reasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the fund and whether the fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board considered whether the management fee rate under the amendment to the Current Agreement and the New Agreement is reasonable in relation to the asset size of the fund. The Board noted that the management fee included three breakpoints, designed to share economies of scale with the shareholders. The Board noted that the expense caps imposed by the Advisor for the one year period beginning May 1, 2005, which are to continue under the amendment to the Current Agreement and the New Agreement in a proportional amount, resulted in shareholders having an expense ratio that is lower than that to which they otherwise would have been subject. The Board concluded that the proposed management fee schedule reflected economies of scale that would benefit shareholders.

Other Benefits to DeIM and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DeIM and its affiliates, including fees received by the Advisor for administrative services provided to the fund and fees received by an affiliate of the Advisor for distribution services. The Board concluded that these fall-out benefits were reasonable in light of the services provided.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the amendment to the Current Agreement and of the New Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the amendment to the Current Agreement and the New Agreement are in the best interests of the fund.

Board Considerations for Interim and New Sub-Advisory Agreements

In March 2005, DeIM proposed to the Board that INVESCO, which then served as sub-advisor to the fund, be replaced as sub-advisor with SBAM. At a meeting held on May 11, 2005, the Board approved the termination of INVESCO upon 60 days' notice and the retention of SBAM as sub-advisor for the fund under an interim sub-advisory agreement (the "Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement") for up to 150 days. The Board also approved a new sub-advisory agreement between SBAM and DeIM (the "New Sub-Advisory Agreement"), which fund shareholders will be asked to approve. On August 1, 2005, the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement became effective. In connection with the change in sub-advisor, the name of the fund was changed to Scudder Salomon Aggressive Growth Portfolio and modifications were made to the fund's investment objective and policies.

In connection with the retention of SBAM under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, received materials from the Advisor relating to the services to be provided under the Agreements, including information about (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by SBAM, including information with respect to portfolio management services to be provided; (ii) the proposed sub-advisory fee rate relative to a peer group; (iii) the investment performance of a fund managed by SBAM in a style similar to the fund, measured against appropriate benchmarks; and (iv) general information about SBAM. The Independent Trustees also were advised by independent counsel regarding their duties in connection with contract approvals.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services and Investment Performance. The Board reviewed SBAM's investment performance for other products. In particular, the Board considered the investment performance of SBAM in the Smith Barney Aggressive Growth Fund, a fund managed by SBAM in a style similar to the fund. The Board considered the size, education and experience of SBAM's Aggressive Growth Team, including that the team is led by senior portfolio manager Richard Freeman, who has 28 years of securities business experience. The Board also considered the biographies of the other members of SBAM's Aggressive Growth Team. The Board considered SBAM's aggressive growth strategy and how it compares to INVESCO's investment philosophy and style. The Board also considered a report from an independent evaluation service on SBAM. The Board concluded that SBAM had the capability to provide the necessary investment advisory services to the fund.

Fees. The Board considered the sub-advisory fee rate proposed under the Interim and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board considered that, although SBAM's fee rate is less than INVESCO's fee rate, the Advisor represented that there would be no diminution in services provided in connection with the Interim and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee rate was reasonable.

Profitability. The Board did not consider an estimated level of profit to SBAM under the Interim and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee rate was negotiated at arm's length between the Advisor and SBAM, and since SBAM would be paid by the Advisor, the Board, given the size of the fund, considered only the estimated profitability to the Advisor.

Economies of Scale. As part of its review of the investment management agreement with DeIM, the Board considered whether there will be economies of scale with respect to the proposed management of the fund and whether the fund will benefit from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the investment management agreement with DeIM included breakpoints and concluded that the overall structure was designed to share economies of scale with the shareholders.

Other Benefits to SBAM. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits expected to be received by SBAM and its affiliates. The Board noted that, unlike INVESCO, SBAM agreed to adhere to Deutsche Asset Management's soft dollar policy for the fund, which includes an agreement not to use fund brokerage transactions to pay for research services generated by parties other than the executing broker-dealer. The Board concluded that any incidental benefits to be received by SBAM from its relationship with the fund were reasonable.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Interim and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable and that the Interim and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements are in the best interests of the fund.

                        an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
                        reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
                        internal control over financial reporting; and

                  (a)   All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
                        the design or operation of internal control over
                        financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
