In Summary: Policy Benefits

Appendix B defines certain words and phrases we use in this prospectus.

Death Benefit

The primary benefit of your policy is life insurance coverage.  While the policy is In Force, we will pay the Proceeds to your beneficiary when the Insured dies.

Your Choice Of Death Benefit Options

ü Option One is the greater of the Specified Amount or the minimum required Death Benefit under federal tax law per applicable percentage of Cash Value.

ü Option Two is the greater of the Specified Amount plus the Cash Value or the minimum required Death Benefit under federal tax law per applicable percentage of Cash Value.

For more information, see "The Death Benefit," beginning on page 28.

Your Or Your Beneficiary's Choice Of Policy Proceeds

You or your beneficiary may choose to receive the Policy Proceeds in a lump sum, or there are a variety of options that will pay out over time.  For more information, see "Proceeds Upon Maturity," beginning on page 16.

Coverage Flexibility

Subject to conditions, you may choose to:

ü Change the Death Benefit option;

ü Increase or decrease the Specified Amount;

ü Change your beneficiaries; and

ü Change who owns the policy.

For more information, see: "Changes In The Death Benefit Option," beginning on page 30; "To Change Coverage," beginning on page 13; "The Beneficiaries," beginning on page 12; and "To Assign," beginning on page 16.

Access To Cash Value

Subject to conditions, you may choose to borrow against, or withdraw, the Cash Value of your policy:

ü Take a policy loan of an amount no greater than 90% of the Cash Value of the variable account, less any surrender charges and interest due on the next anniversary of the Policy Date.  The minimum amount is $200.  For more information, see "Policy Loans," beginning on page 31.

ü Take a partial surrender of no less than $500.  For more information, see "Partial Surrender," beginning on page 30.

ü Surrender the policy at any time while the Insured is alive.  The Cash Surrender Value will be the Cash Values of the Sub-Account portfolios and fixed account, less any policy loans, surrender charges and policy indebtedness or other indebtedness.  You may choose to receive the Cash Surrender Value in a lump sum, or you will have available the same payout options as if it constituted a Death Benefit.  For more information, see "Full Surrender," beginning on page 30 and "Proceeds Upon Maturity," beginning on page 16.

Premium Flexibility

While we would like you to select a premium payment plan, you will not be required to make your Premium payments accordingly.  Within limits, you may vary the frequency and amount, and you might even be able to skip needing to make a Premium payment.  For more information, see "Premium," beginning on page 19.

Investment Options

You may choose to allocate your Premiums after charges to a fixed or variable investment options in any proportion:

ü The fixed investment option will earn interest daily at an annual effective rate of at least 4%.

ü The variable investment options constitute the limitedly available mutual funds, and we have divided Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 into an equal number of Sub-Account portfolios, identified in the "Available Sub-Accounts" section, to account for your allocations.  Your Investment Experience will depend on the market performance of the Sub-Account portfolios you have chosen.

1

For more information, see "Appendix A: Available Sub-Account Information," beginning on page 44 and "To Allocate Net Premium And Sub-Account Valuation," beginning on page 26.

Transfers Between And Among Investment Options

You may transfer between the fixed and variable investment options, subject to conditions.  You may transfer among the Sub-Account portfolios of the variable investment option within limits.  We have implemented procedures intended to reduce the potentially detrimental impact that disruptive trading has on Sub-Account Investment Experience.  For more information, see "Sub-Account Portfolio Transfers," beginning on page 13 and "Modes To Make A Transfer," beginning on page 15.  We also offer dollar cost averaging, an automated investment strategy that spreads out transfers over time to try to reduce the investment risks of market fluctuations.  For more information, see "Dollar Cost Averaging," beginning on page 28.

Taxes

Unless you make a withdrawal, generally, you will not be taxed on any earnings.  This is known as tax deferral.  Also, your beneficiary generally will not have to include the Proceeds as taxable income.  For more information, see "Taxes," beginning on page 33.  Unlike other variable insurance products Nationwide offers, these Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies do not require distributions to be made before the death of the Insured.

Assignment

You may assign the policy as collateral for a loan or another obligation while the Insured is alive.  Prior to being recorded, assignments will not affect any payments made or actions taken by Nationwide.  Nationwide is not responsible for any assignment not submitted for recording, nor is Nationwide responsible for the sufficiency or validity of any assignment.  For more information, see "To Assign," beginning on page 16.

Examination Right

For a limited time, you may cancel the policy, and you will receive a refund.  For more information, see "To Cancel (Examination Right)," beginning on page 13.

Riders

You may purchase any of the available Riders (except for both the Premium Waiver and Deduction Waiver Riders, simultaneously) to suit your needs.  Availability will vary by state, and there may be an additional charge.

ü Accidental Death Benefit Rider

ü Base Insured Term Rider

ü Change Of Insured Rider (There is no charge for this Rider.)

ü Children’s Insurance Rider

ü Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider

ü Spouse Life Insurance Rider

ü Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider

For more information, see "Riders," beginning on page 17.

In Summary: Policy Risks

Improper Use

Variable universal life insurance is not suitable as an investment vehicle for short-term savings.  It is designed for long-term financial planning.  You should not purchase the policy if you expect that you will need to access its Cash Value in the near future because substantial surrender charges will apply in the first several years from the Policy Date.

Unfavorable Investment Experience

The variable investment options to which you have chosen to allocate Net Premium may not generate a sufficient, let alone a positive return, especially after the deductions for policy and Sub-Account portfolio charges.  Besides Premium payments, Investment Experience will impact the Cash Value, and poor Investment Experience (in conjunction with your flexibility to make changes to the policy and deviate from your chosen Premium payment plan) could cause the Cash Value of your policy to decrease, resulting in a Lapse of insurance coverage, sooner than might have been foreseen, and, potentially, even without value.

2

Effect Of Partial Surrenders And Policy Loans On Investment Returns

Partial surrenders or policy loans may accelerate a Lapse because the amount of either or both will no longer be available to generate any investment return.  A partial surrender will proportionately reduce the amount of Cash Value allocated among the Sub-Account portfolios you have chosen, and to the fixed account, too, if there is not enough Cash Value in the Sub-Account portfolios.  Thus, the remainder of your policy's Cash Value is all that would be available to generate enough of an investment return to cover policy and Sub-Account portfolio charges and keep the policy In Force, at least until you repay the policy loan or make another Premium payment.  There will always be a Grace Period and the opportunity to reinstate insurance coverage.  Under certain circumstances, however, the policy could terminate without value and insurance coverage would cease.

Reduction Of The Death Benefit

A partial surrender could, and a policy loan would, decrease the policy’s Death Benefit, depending on how the Death Benefit option relates to the policy’s Cash Value.

Adverse Tax Consequences

Existing federal tax laws that benefit this policy may change at any time.  These changes could alter the favorable federal income tax treatment the policy enjoys, such as the deferral of taxation on the gains in the policy's Cash Value and the exclusion from taxable income of the Proceeds we pay to the policy's Beneficiary.  Partial and full surrenders from the policy may be subject to taxes.  The income tax treatment of the surrender of Cash Value is different in the event the policy is treated as a modified endowment contract under the Code.  Generally, tax treatment on modified endowment contracts will be less favorable when compared to having the policy treated as a life insurance contract.  Consult a qualified tax adviser on all tax matters involving your policy.

Fixed Account Transfer Restrictions And Limitations

We will not honor a request to transfer Cash Value to or from the fixed account until after the first year.  Then, we will only honor a transfer request from the fixed account that is made within 30 days of the end of a calendar quarter, but not within 12 months of a previous request.  We may also limit what percentage of Cash Value you will be permitted to transfer to or from the fixed account.

Sub-Account Portfolio Limitations

Frequent trading among the Sub-Accounts may dilute the value of your Sub-Account units, cause the Sub-Account to incur higher transaction costs, and interfere with the Sub-Accounts' ability to pursue its stated investment objective.  This disruption to the Sub-Account may result in lower Investment Experience and Cash Value.  We have instituted procedures to minimize disruptive transfers, including, but not limited to, transfer restrictions and short-term trading fees.  For more information, see "Sub-Account Portfolio Transfers," beginning on page 13, "Modes To Make A Transfer," beginning on page 15, and "Short-Term Trading Fees," beginning on page 21.  While we expect these procedures to reduce the adverse effect of disruptive transfers, we cannot assure you that we have eliminated these risks.

Sub-Account Portfolio Investment Risk

A comprehensive discussion of the risks of the mutual funds held by each Sub-Account portfolio may be found in that mutual fund’s prospectus.  You should read the mutual fund’s prospectus carefully before investing.

In Summary: Variable Universal Life Insurance And The Policy

Variable Universal Life Insurance, in general, may be important to you in two ways.

ü It will provide economic protection to a beneficiary.

ü It may build Cash Value.

Why would you want to purchase this type of life insurance?  How will you allocate the Net Premium among the variable and the fixed investment options?  Your reasons and decisions will affect the insurance and Cash Value aspects.

While variable universal life insurance is designed primarily to provide life insurance protection, the Cash Value of a policy will be important to you in that it may impair (with poor investment results) or enhance (with favorable investment results) your ability to pay the costs of keeping the insurance In Force.

Apart from the life insurance protection features, you will have an interest in maximizing the value of the policy as a financial asset.

It is similar, but also different, to universal life insurance.

ü You will pay Premiums for life insurance coverage on the Insured.

3

ü The policy will provide for the accumulation of a Cash Surrender Value if you were to surrender it at any time while the Insured is alive.

ü The Cash Surrender Value could be substantially lower than the Premiums you have paid.

What makes the policy different than universal life insurance is your opportunity to allocate Premiums after charges to the Sub-Account portfolios you have chosen (and the fixed account).  Also, that its Cash Value will vary depending on the market performance of the Sub-Account portfolios, and you will bear this risk.

From the time we issue the policy through the Insured’s death, here is a basic overview.  (But please read the remainder of this prospectus for the details.)

ü At issue, the policy will require a minimum initial Premium payment.

Among other considerations, this amount will be based on: the Insured’s age and sex; the underwriting class; any substandard ratings; the Specified Amount; the Death Benefit option; and the choice of any Riders.

ü At the time of a Premium payment, we will deduct some charges.  We call these charges transaction fees.

ü You will then be able to allocate the Premium net of transaction fees, or Net Premium, between and among fixed and variable investment options.

ü From the policy’s Cash Value, on a periodic basis, we will deduct other charges to help cover the mortality risks we assumed, and the sales and administrative costs.

ü You may be able to vary the timing and amount of Premium payments.

So long as there is enough Cash Surrender Value to cover the policy's periodic charges as they come due, the policy will remain In Force.

ü After the first year from the Policy Date, you may request to increase or decrease the policy’s Specified Amount.

This flexibility will allow you to adjust the policy to meet your changing needs and circumstances, subject to: additional underwriting (for us to evaluate an increase of risk); confirmation that the policy’s tax status is not jeopardized; and confirmation that the minimum and maximum insurance amounts remain met.

ü The policy will pay a Death Benefit to the beneficiary.  You have a choice of one of two options.

As your insurance needs change, you may be able to change Death Benefit options, rather than buying a new policy, or terminating this policy.

ü Prior to the Insured’s death, you may withdraw all or a portion (after the first year from the Policy Date) of the policy’s Cash Surrender Value.  Or you may borrow against the Cash Surrender Value.

Withdrawals and policy loans are subject to restrictions, may reduce the Death Benefit and increase the likelihood of the policy Lapsing.  There also could be adverse tax consequences.

In Summary: Fee Tables

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering the policy.  Fees in this table may be rounded to the hundredth decimal.  The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the policy, surrender the policy or transfer Cash Value between investmentoptions.

^{_______________________________________}

⁽¹⁾ We deduct one charge composed of the sales load and premium taxes.  On the Policy Data Page, we call the combined charge a Premium Load.

⁽²⁾ Currently, the sales load is reduced to $5 per $1,000 of Premium payment on any portion of the annual Premium in excess of the break point Premium, as shown on the Policy Data Page.

⁽³⁾ This charge is comprised of two components.  There is an underwriting component, which is based on the Insured's age (when the policy was issued).  There is also a sales expense component, which is based on and varies by the Insured's sex, age (when the policy was issued) and underwriting class.  The amount of the charge we would deduct begins to decrease each year after the second from the Policy Date.  A surrender charge will apply if you surrender the policy in the first nine years, or lapse the policy, or if you request to decrease the Specified Amount.  We will calculate a separate surrender charge based on the Specified Amount, and each increase in the Specified Amount, which, when added together, will amount to your surrender charge.  For more information, see "Surrender Charges," beginning on page 20.

⁽⁴⁾ To be able to present dollar amounts of this charge here, for a full surrender occurring in the first year from the Policy Date, we assume an aggregate first year Premium in excess of the surrender target premium.  The surrender target premium is an assumed Premium payment amount we use in calculating the surrender charge.  The surrender charge is based on the lesser of the surrender target premium and the Premiums you pay in the first year from the Policy Date.  The surrender target premium varies by: the Insured's sex; age (when the policy was issued); underwriting class and the Specified Amount (and any increases).  The surrender charge for decreases in the Specified Amount will be a fraction of the charge for a full surrender.

5

⁽⁵⁾ Ask for an illustration, or see the Policy Data Page for more information on your cost.

⁽⁶⁾ The amount is based on a female who is age 18 and is a non-tobacco user.  We assume a policy with a Specified Amount of $500,000 and Death Benefit Option One.  The stated surrender charge is for a surrender occurring in the first year from the Policy Date.

⁽⁷⁾ The amount is based on a male who is age 75 or older and uses tobacco (representing our greatest underwriting risk).  We assume a policy with a Specified Amount of $500,000 and Death Benefit Option One.  The stated surrender charge is for a surrender occurring in the first year from the Policy Date.

⁽⁸⁾ This amount may not be representative of your cost.

⁽⁹⁾ If we begin to charge for illustrations, you will be expected to pay the charge in cash directly to us at the time of your request.  This charge will not be deducted from the policy's Cash Value.

⁽¹⁰⁾ The maximum charge is the lesser of $25 or 2% of the dollar amount of the partial surrender.

⁽¹¹⁾ Short-term trading fees are only assessed in connection with Sub-Accounts that correspond to an underlying mutual fund that assesses a short-term trading fee.  See "Total Annual Sub-Account Portfolio Operating Expenses" for a list of mutual funds that assess a short-term trading fee.  For more information about transactions subject to short-term trading fees, see "Short-Term Trading Fees," beginning on page 21.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the policy, not including Sub-Account portfolio operating expenses.

⁽¹²⁾ This charge varies by: the Insured's sex; age; underwriting class; any substandard ratings; the year from the Policy Date and the Specified Amount.  Rider charges are taken from the policy's Cash Value at the beginning of the month starting with the Policy Date and we will not pro-rate the monthly fee should the Rider terminate before the beginning of the next month.

6

⁽¹³⁾ Ask for an illustration, or see the Policy Data Page for more information on your cost.

⁽¹⁴⁾ This amount may not be representative of your cost.

⁽¹⁵⁾ During the first through ninth year from the Policy Date, this annualized charge is $8.00 per $1,000 of Cash Value in the variable investment options.  Thereafter, this annualized charge is $ $8.00 per $1,000 on the first $25,000 of Cash Value in the variable investment options and $5.00 per $1,000 on additional Cash Value in the Variable account options.

⁽¹⁶⁾ During the first year from the Policy Date, the monthly maximum guaranteed amount is $25, and the current amount deducted on a monthly basis is $12.50.  Thereafter, the monthly maximum guaranteed amount is $7.50, and the current amount deducted on a monthly basis is $5.

⁽¹⁷⁾ The increase charge will be ducted upon a request to increase the Specified Amount and on a monthly basis for twelve months after the increase.

⁽¹⁸⁾ On the amount of an outstanding loan, we not only charge, but also credit, interest, so there is a net cost to you.  Also, there are ordinary and preferred loans on which interest rates vary.  For more information, see "Policy Loans," beginning on page 31.

⁽¹⁹⁾ We charge 6% interest per annum on the outstanding balance, which accrues daily and becomes due and payable at the end of the year from the Policy Date, or we add it to your loan.  Meanwhile, we also credit interest daily on the portion of your policy's Cash Value corresponding to, and serving as collateral or security to ensure repayment of, the loan.  During policy years two through 14, it is 5.1% (current and guaranteed), and thereafter, 6% per annum currently (guaranteed 5.1% minimally).

⁽²⁰⁾ Your net cost for a loan through years two through 14 from the Policy Date is 0.9% per annum currently.  Thereafter, there is no cost (a net zero cost) for a loan currently.  For more information, see "Collateral and Interest," beginning on page 32.

The Policy

The policy is a legal contract between you and us.  Any change must be in writing, signed by our president and corporate secretary, and attached to or endorsed on the policy.  You may exercise all policy rights and options while the Insured is alive.  You may also change the policy, but only in accordance with its terms.

Generally, the policy is available for an insured between the ages of 0 and 80 (although these ages may vary in your state).  It is nonparticipating, meaning we will not be contributing any operating profits or surplus earnings toward the Proceeds from the policy.  The policy will comprise and be evidenced by: a written contract; any Riders; any endorsements; Policy Data Pages; and the application, including any supplemental application.  We will consider the statements you make in the application as representations.  We will rely on them as being true and complete.  However, we will not void the policy or deny a claim unless a statement is a material misrepresentation.

In order to comply with the USA Patriot Act and rules promulgated thereunder, Nationwide will implement procedures designed to prevent polices described in this prospectus from being used to facilitate money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities.

Policy Owner

The policy belongs to the owner named in the application.  You may also name a contingent owner.  A contingent owner will become the owner if the owner dies before any Proceeds become payable.  Otherwise, ownership will pass to the owner’s estate, if the owner is not the Insured.  To the extent permitted by law, policy benefits are not subject to any legal process for the payment of any claim, and no right or benefit will be subject to claims of creditors (except as may be provided by assignment).  You may name different owners or contingent owners (so long as the Insured is alive) by submitting your written request to our Home Office, which will become effective when signed rather than on the date which we received it.  However, this change will not affect any payment made or action taken by Nationwide before it was received.  Nationwide may require that the policy be submitted for endorsement before making a change.  There may be adverse tax consequences.  For more information, see "Taxes," beginning on page 33.

The Beneficiaries

The principal right of a beneficiary is to receive Proceeds constituting the Death Benefit upon the Insured's death.  So long as the Insured is alive, you may: name more than one beneficiary; designate primary and contingent beneficiaries; change or add beneficiaries; and provide for another distribution than the following.

If a primary beneficiary dies before the Insured, we will pay the Death Benefit to the remaining primary beneficiaries.  We will pay multiple primary beneficiaries in equal shares, unless otherwise provided.  A contingent beneficiary will become the primary beneficiary if all primary beneficiaries die before the Insured, and before any Proceeds become payable.  You may name more than one contingent beneficiary.  We will also pay multiple contingent beneficiaries in equal shares.  If no named beneficiary survives the Insured, the Proceeds will be paid to the owner or the owner’s estate.  To change or add beneficiaries, you must submit your written request to us at our Home Office, which will become effective when signed, rather than the date on which we received it.  The change will not affect any payment we made, or action we took, before we recorded the change.

To Purchase

To purchase the policy, you must submit to us a completed application and an initial Premium payment.

We must receive evidence of insurability that satisfies our underwriting standards (this may require a medical examination) before we will issue a policy.  We can provide you with the details of our underwriting standards.  We reserve the right to reject an application for any reason permitted by law.  Also, we reserve the right to modify our underwriting standards at any time.

The minimum initial Specified Amount in most states is $50,000 ($100,000 in Pennsylvania and New Jersey).  We reserve the right to modify our minimum Specified Amount at any time for contracts purchased in the future.

Coverage

We will issue the policy only if the underwriting process has been completed, we have approved the application and the proposed Insured is alive and in the same condition of health as described in the application.  However, full insurance coverage will take effect only after you have paid the minimum initial Premium.  We begin to deduct monthly charges from your policy Cash Value on the Policy Date.

Coverage Effective Date

Insurance coverage will begin and be In Force on the Policy Date shown on the Policy Data Page.  For a change in the Specified Amount, the effective date will be on the next monthly anniversary from the Policy Date after we have approved your request.  It will end upon the Insured's death, once we begin to pay the Proceeds, or when the policy matures.  It could end if the policy were to Lapse.

12

Temporary Insurance Coverage

Upon payment of the initial Premium, temporary insurance may be provided.  Temporary insurance coverage, equal to the Specified Amount up to $1,000,000, may be available for no charge before full insurance coverage takes effect.  You must submit a temporary insurance agreement and make an initial Premium payment to our home office at the address listed in this prospectus or to an authorized representative.  The amount of the initial Premium will depend on the initial Specified Amount, and your choice of Death Benefit option and any Riders, for purposes of this policy.  During this time, we will deposit your initial Premium payment into an interest-bearing checking account.  Temporary insurance coverage will terminate on the date full insurance coverage takes effect, or five days from the date we mail a termination notice (accompanied by a refund equal to the Premium payment you submitted).  If we issue the policy, what we do with the Net Premium depends on the right tot examine law of the state in which you live.  Issuance of the continuing insurance coverage is dependent upon completion of all underwriting requirements, payment of initial Premium, and delivery of the policy while the Insured is still living.

To Cancel (Examination Right)

You may cancel your policy until the latest of: ten days after you receive the policy or longer if required by state law, within 45 days after signing the application, or 10 days after we deliver a Notice of Right of Withdrawal.  If you decide to cancel, return the policy to the sales representative who sold it to you, or to us at our Home Office, along with your written cancellation request.  Within seven days, we will refund the amount prescribed by the law of the state in which we issued the policy.  Depending on the right to examine law of the state in which you live, this amount will be your initial Premium or the policy's Cash Value.  We will treat the policy as if we never issued it and it will be deemed void from the beginning.  For more information, see "To Allocate Net Premium And Sub-Account Valuation," beginning on page 26.

To Change Coverage

After the first year from the Policy Date, you may request to change the Specified Amount; however, no change will take effect unless the new Cash Surrender Value would be sufficient to keep the policy In Force for at least three months.  Changes to the Specified Amount will alter the Death Benefit.  For more information, see "Changes In The Death Benefit Option," beginning on page 30.

You may request to increase the Specified Amount, by at least $10,000, which will increase the Net Amount At Risk.  Because the cost of insurance charge is based on the Net Amount At Risk, and because there will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the increase, this will also cause the policy's cost of insurance charge to increase.  As a result, there will be a corresponding increase in the periodic charges we deduct from the policy's Cash Value.  Also, an increase in the Specified Amount may cause an increase to the amount of your subsequent Premium payments and the likelihood that the entire policy is at risk of lapsing sooner.  For more information, see "Lapse," beginning on page 32.

You may request to decrease the Specified Amount.  We first apply decreases to the amount of insurance coverage as a result of any prior Specified Amount increases, starting with the most recent.  Then we will decrease the initial Specified Amount.  However, we will deny a request which would reduce the amount of your coverage below the minimum initial Specified Amount or that would disqualify the policy as a contract for life insurance.  For more information, see "To Purchase," beginning on page 12.

To change the Specified Amount, you must submit your written request to us at our Home Office.  You must provide us with evidence of insurability that satisfies our underwriting standards.  The Insured must be 80 or younger.  Changes will become effective on the next monthly anniversary from the Policy Date after we approve the request.  We reserve the right to limit the number of changes to one each year from the Policy Date.

Sub-Account Portfolio Transfers

We will determine the amount you have available for transfers among the Sub-Account portfolios in Accumulation Units based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share of the mutual fund in which a Sub-Account portfolio invests.  The mutual fund will determine its NAV once daily as of the close of the regular business session of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).  An Accumulation Unit will not equal the NAV of the mutual fund in which the Sub-Account portfolio invests; however, because the Accumulation Unit value will reflect the deduction for any transaction fees and periodic charges.  For more information, see "In Summary: Fee Tables," beginning on page 5, and "How Investment Experience Is Determined," beginning on page 27.  Policy owners may request transfers to or from the Sub-Accounts once per valuation day, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy and the mutual funds.

Neither the policies nor the mutual funds are designed to support active trading strategies that require frequent movement between or among Sub-Accounts (sometimes referred to as "market-timing" or "short-term trading").  If you intend to use an active trading strategy, you should consult your registered representative and request information on other Nationwide policies that offer mutual funds that are designed specifically to support active trading strategies.

We discourage (and will take action to deter) short-term trading in this policy because the frequent movement between or among Sub-Accounts may negatively impact other investors in the policy.  Short-term trading can result in:

13

· the dilution of the value of the investors' interests in the mutual fund;

· mutual fund managers taking actions that negatively impact performance (i.e., keeping a larger portion of the mutual fund assets in cash or liquidating investments prematurely in order to support redemption requests); and/or

· increased administrative costs due to frequent purchases and redemptions.

To protect investors in this policy from the negative impact of these practices, we have implemented, or reserve the right to implement, several processes and/or restrictions aimed at eliminating the negative impact of active trading strategies.  We cannot guarantee that our attempts to deter active trading strategies will be successful.  If active trading strategies are not successfully deterred by our actions, the performance of Sub-Accounts that are actively traded will be adversely impacted.

Redemption Fees.  Some mutual funds assess a short-term trading fee in connection with transfers from a Sub-Account that occur within 60 days after the date of the allocation to the Sub-Account.  The fee is assessed against the amount transferred and is paid to the mutual fund.  Redemption fees compensate the mutual fund for any negative impact on fund performance resulting from short-term trading.

U.S. Mail Restrictions.  We monitor transfer activity in order to identify those who may be engaged in harmful trading practices.  Transaction reports are produced and examined.  Generally, a policy may appear on these reports if the policy owner (or a third party acting on their behalf) engages in a certain number of "transfer events" in a given period.  A "transfer event" is any transfer, or combination of transfers, occurring in a given Valuation Period.  For example, if a policy owner executes multiple transfers involving 10 Sub-Accounts in 1 day, this counts as 1 transfer event.  A single transfer occurring in a given Valuation Period that involves only 2 Sub-Accounts (or one Sub-Account if the transfer is made to or from a fixed investment option) will also count as 1 transfer event.

As a result of this monitoring process, we may restrict the form in which transfer requests will be accepted.  In general, we will adhere to the following guidelines:

Trading Behavior	Nationwide's Response
6 or more transfer events in one calendar quarter	Nationwide will mail a letter to the policy owner notifying them that: 1.they have been identified as engaging in harmful trading practices; and 2.if their transfer events exceed 11 in 2 consecutive calendar quarters or 20 in one calendar year, the policy owner will be limited to submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail.
More than 11 transfer events in 2 consecutive calendar quarters OR More than 20 transfer events in one calendar year	Nationwide will automatically limit the policy owner to submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail.

Each January 1^st, we will start the monitoring anew, so that each policy starts with 0 transfer events each January 1.  See, however, the "Other Restrictions" provision below.

Managers of Multiple Contracts.  Some investment advisers/representatives manage the assets of multiple Nationwide contracts pursuant to trading authority granted or conveyed by multiple policy owners.  These multi-contract advisers will be required by Nationwide to submit all transfer requests via U.S. mail.

Other Restrictions.  We reserve the right to refuse or limit transfer requests, or take any other action we deem necessary, in order to protect policy owners and beneficiaries from the negative investment results that may result from short-term trading or other harmful investment practices employed by some policy owners (or third parties acting on their behalf).  In particular, trading strategies designed to avoid or take advantage of Nationwide's monitoring procedures (and other measures aimed at curbing harmful trading practices) that are nevertheless determined by us to constitute harmful trading practices, may be restricted.

Any restrictions that we implement will be applied consistently and uniformly.

We may add new underlying mutual funds, or new share classes of currently available underlying mutual funds, that assess short-term trading fees.  In the case of new share class additions, your subsequent allocations may be limited to that new share class.  Short-term trading fees are a charge assessed by an underlying mutual fund when you transfer out of a Sub-Account within 60 days of the date of allocation to the Sub-Account.  The separate account will collect the short-term trading fees at the time of the transfer by reducing the amount transferred.  We will remit all such fees to the underlying mutual fund.

14

Underlying Mutual Fund Restrictions and Prohibitions.  Pursuant to regulations adopted by the SEC, we are required to enter into written agreements with the underlying mutual funds which allow the underlying mutual funds to:

(1) request the taxpayer identification number, international taxpayer identification number, or other government issued identifier of any of our policy owners;

(2) request the amounts and dates of any purchase, redemption, transfer or exchange request (“transaction information”); and

(3) instruct us to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges by policy owners that violate policies established by the underlying mutual fund (whose policies may be more restrictive than our policies).

We are required to provide such transaction information to the underlying mutual funds upon their request.  In addition, we are required to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchange requests upon instruction from the underlying mutual fund.  We and any affected policy owner may not have advance notice of such instructions from an underlying mutual fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchange requests.  If an underlying mutual fund refuses to accept a purchase or exchange request submitted by us, we will keep any affected policy owner in their current underlying mutual fund allocation.

Fixed Account Transfers

Prior to the policy’s Maturity Date, you may also make transfers involving the fixed account.  These transfers will be in dollars, and we reserve the right to limit their timing and amount, including that you may not request a transfer involving the fixed account before the end of the first year from the Policy Date.  Also, you may not make more than one transfer every 12 months.

On transfers to the fixed account, we may not permit you to transfer over 25% of the Cash Value allocated to the Sub-Account portfolios as of the close of business of the prior Valuation Period.

On transfers from the fixed account, we may not permit you to transfer over 25% of the Cash Value of the fixed account as of the end of the previous policy year (subject to state restrictions).

Modes To Make A Transfer

To make a transfer, send your written request to us at our Home Office via first class U.S. mail.  Upon receipt, we will process a transfer request at the end of the current Valuation Period.  We may also permit you to use other modes of communication, subject to limitations.

Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions are genuine, including:

· requiring forms of personal identification before acting upon instructions;

· providing you with written confirmation of completed transactions; and/or

· tape recording telephone instructions.

If we follow these procedures, we will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense from complying with what we reasonably believe to be genuine instructions.  Rather, you will bear the risk of loss.

Any computer system or telephone, whether it is yours, your service provider’s, your representative’s, or ours, can experience slowdowns or outages for a variety of reasons.  These slowdowns or outages may delay or prevent our ability to process your request.  Although we have taken precautions to help our system handle heavy usage, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances.  If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request in writing.

To Exchange

You have an exchange right under the policy.  At any time within the first 24 months of coverage from the Policy Date, you may surrender this policy and use the Cash Surrender Value to purchase a new policy on the Insured’s life without evidence of insurability.  Afterwards, you may also surrender the policy and use the Cash Surrender Value to purchase a new policy on the same Insured’s life, but subject to evidence of insurability that satisfies our underwriting standards.

The new policy may be one of our available flexible premium adjustable life insurance policies.  It may not have a greater Death Benefit than that of this policy immediately prior to the exchange date.  It will have the same Specified Amount, Policy Date, and issue age.  We will base Premiums on our rates in effect for the same sex, Attained Age and premium class of the Insured on the exchange date.  You may transfer Indebtedness to the new policy.

You must make your request on our official forms to the Home Office.  The policy must be In Force and not in a Grace Period.  You must pay a surrender charge.  For more information, see "In Summary: Fee Tables," beginning on page 5.  The exchange may have tax consequences.  For more information, see "Exchanging The Policy For Another Life Insurance

15

Policy," beginning on page 36.  The new policy will take effect on the exchange date only if the Insured is alive.  This policy will terminate when the new policy takes effect.

To Terminate (Surrender)

You have the right to terminate (surrender) the policy.  Or you may surrender the policy for its Cash Surrender Value.  The policy will automatically terminate when the Insured dies, the policy matures, or the Grace Period ends.  For more information, see "Surrenders," beginning on page 30.

Generally, if the policy has a Cash Surrender Value in excess of the Premiums you have paid, upon surrender the excess will be included in your income for federal tax purposes.  For more information, see "Surrendering the Policy," beginning on page 35.  The Cash Surrender Value will be reduced by the outstanding amount of a policy loan.  For more information, see "Policy Loans," beginning on page 31.

To Assign

You may assign any rights under the policy while the Insured is alive.  If you do, your beneficiary’s interest will be subject to the person(s) to whom you have assigned rights.  Your assignment must be in writing signed and recorded at our Home Office before it will become effective.  Prior to being recorded, assignments will not affect any payments made or actions taken by Nationwide.  Nationwide is not responsible for any assignment not submitted for recording, nor is Nationwide responsible for the sufficiency or validity of any assignment.  Your assignment will be subject to any outstanding policy loans.  For more information, see "Policy Loans," beginning on page 31.

Proceeds Upon Maturity

If the policy is In Force on the Maturity Date, we will pay you the Proceeds, which will equal the policy’s Cash Value, less any indebtedness.

Normally, we will pay the Proceeds within seven days after we receive your written request at our Home Office.  The payment will be postponed, however, when: the New York Stock Exchange is closed; the SEC restricts trading or declares an emergency; the SEC permits us to defer it for the protection of our policy owners; or the Proceeds are to be paid from the fixed account.  The Proceeds will equal the policy's Cash Value minus any Indebtedness.  After we pay the Proceeds, the policy is terminated.

We may offer to extend the Maturity Date to coincide with the Insured's death, after which we will pay the Proceeds to your beneficiary.  During this time, you will still be able to request partial surrenders.  The Maturity Date extension will either be for the policy value, or for the Specified Amount (subject to the law of the state in which you lived at the time you purchased the policy).  It is your choice, and, in any event, your policy will be endorsed so that:

· no changes to the Specified Amount will be allowed;

· no additional Premium payments will be allowed;

· 100% of the policy value will be transferred to the fixed account;

· to extend for the Cash Value, your policy's Death Benefit will become the Cash Value, irrespective of your previous Death Benefit option choice, and

· The monthly policy expense charges and administrative charges will no longer be deducted from the Cash Value since the Death Benefit will be equal to the Cash Value.  The Cost of Insurance Charges after that time will be zero.

The Maturity Date will not be extended, however, beyond when the policy would fail the definition of life insurance under the Code.  For more information, see "The Death Benefit," beginning on page 28.

Reminders, Reports And Illustrations

On request, we will send you scheduled Premium payment reminders and transaction confirmations.  We will also send you semi-annual and annual reports that show:

· the Specified Amount

· the current Cash Value

· minimum monthly Premiums

· the Cash Surrender Value

· Premiums paid

· outstanding Indebtedness

· all charges since the last report

You may receive information faster from us and reduce the amount of mail you receive by signing up for our eDelivery program.  We will notify you by e-mail when important documents, like statements and prospectuses, are ready for you to view, print, or download from our secure server.  If you would like to choose this option, go to www.nationwide.com/login.

We will send these reminders and reports to the address you provide on the application, or to another you may specify.  At any time, you may ask for an illustration of future benefits and values under the policy.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY OF SECURITY HOLDER DOCUMENTS

When multiple copies of the same disclosure document(s), such as prospectuses, supplements, proxy statements and semi-annual and annual reports are required to be mailed to your household, we will mail only one copy of each document, unless notified otherwise by you.  Household delivery will continue for the life of the contracts.  Please call 1-866-223-0303 to resume regular delivery.  Please allow 30 days for regular delivery to resume.

Errors Or Misstatements

If you make an error or misstatement in completing the application, then we will adjust the Death Benefit and Cash Value accordingly.

To determine the adjusted Death Benefit, we will multiply the Net Amount At Risk at the time of the Insured’s death by the ratio of the monthly cost of insurance applied at the true age and sex in the policy month of death and the monthly cost of insurance that should have been applied at the true age and sex in the policy month of death.  We will then add this adjusted amount that reflects the true age and sex of the Insured to the Cash Value of the policy at the Insured’s death.  The Cash Value will also be adjusted to reflect the cost of insurance charges based on the Insured's correct age and sex from the Policy Date.

Incontestability

We will not contest payment of the Death Benefit based on the initial Specified Amount after the policy has been In Force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date.  For any change in Specified Amount requiring evidence of insurability, we will not contest payment of the Death Benefit based on such an increase after it has been In Force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from its effective date.

If We Modify The Policy

Any modification (or waiver) of our rights or requirements under the policy must be in writing and signed by our president or corporate secretary.  No agent may bind us by making any promise not contained in the policy.

We may modify the policy, our operations, or the separate account’s operations to meet the requirements of any law (or regulation issued by a government agency) to which the policy, our company, or the separate account is subject.  We may modify the policy to assure that it continues to qualify as a life insurance contract under the federal tax laws.  We will notify you of all modifications, and we will make appropriate endorsements to the policy.

Riders are available for you to purchase to design the policy to meet your specific needs.  You may purchase any of them simultaneously.  Once the policy is In Force, to add a Rider, we may require further evidence of insurability.  You will be charged for a Rider: so long as the policy remains In Force and the Rider's term has not expired; until we have paid the benefit; or you decide you no longer need the benefit and let us know in writing at our Home Office.  For more information on the costs of the Riders, see "In Summary: Fee Tables," beginning on page 5, and "Charges," beginning on page 20.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider

You may purchase this Rider at any time.  The Rider pays a benefit, in addition to the Death Benefit, to the named beneficiary upon the Insured’s accidental death.  The benefit continues until the Insured reaches Attained Age 70.  You will be charged for this Rider: so long as the policy remains In Force and the Rider’s term has not expired; until we have paid the benefit or you decide you no longer need the benefit and let us know in writing at our Home Office.  Because we deduct the charge for this benefit from the policy's Cash Value, your purchase of this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.  Otherwise, the benefit of this Rider and the Death Benefit are independent of one another.

Base Insured Term Rider

This Rider is available when the policy is In Force.  The benefit is term life insurance on the Insured, in addition to the Death Benefit, payable to the beneficiary upon the Insured’s death.

The benefit amount varies monthly and is based on the Death Benefit option you have chosen.  You may renew coverage annually until the Insured reaches Attained Age 95, when this Rider's term expires.  Because we deduct the charge for this benefit from the policy's Cash Value, your purchase of this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.

17

Before deciding whether to purchase the Rider it is important for you to know that when you purchase the Rider, the compensation received by your registered representative and his or her firm is less than when compared to purchasing insurance coverage under the base policy.  As a result of this compensation reduction, the charges assessed for the cost of insurance under the Rider will be lower for a significant period of time.  There are instances where the Rider may require lower Premium to maintain the total death benefit over the life of the policy or may require higher Premium when compared to not purchasing the Rider at all.  You need to know that when the Rider is purchased, the Maturity Date for coverage under the Rider may not be extended (resulting in a loss of coverage at maturity).

Change Of Insured Rider

You may elect this Rider for no charge at any time.  You may change the Insured for a new Insured, subject to insurability and other conditions.  The costs and benefits under the policy after the change will be based on, and could change with, the underwriting classification and characteristics of the new Insured, but this Rider's benefit will have no impact on the policy's Death Benefit.

Children’s Insurance Rider

You may purchase term life insurance on any of the Insured's children at any time.  Before an expiration date, the policy pays a benefit to the named beneficiary upon the insured child’s death.  As long as the policy is In Force, the insurance coverage for each child will continue until the earlier of: 1) the anniversary of the policy on or after the date that the child turns age 22; or 2) the anniversary of the policy on or after the date that the Insured turns age 65.

Subject to certain conditions specified in the Rider, the Rider may be converted into a policy on the life of the insured child without evidence of insurability.  You will be charged for this Rider: so long as the policy remains In Force and the Rider’s term has not expired; until we have paid the benefit; or you decide you no longer need the benefit and let us know in writing at our Home Office.  Because we deduct the charge for this benefit from the policy's Cash Value, your purchase of this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.  Otherwise, the benefit of this Rider and the Death Benefit are independent of one another.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider

This Rider is only available when you purchase the policy and has no loan value or Cash Surrender Value.  The purpose of this Rider is to keep the death benefit in force and to prevent the policy from lapsing.  The benefit is a death benefit payable to the beneficiary you designate, less any policy loans outstanding and any withdrawals.

There is no charge for this Rider during the first three policy years.  In the first month of the third Policy year, this charge will begin and after the third Policy year, this Rider ensures that the base Policy will remain In Force even if the Cash Surrender Value is zero or less, as long as: 1) the Rider is in force; 2) the Insured is alive; and 3) you have met the annual Rider Minimum Premium requirement.  The annual Rider Minimum Premium is shown on the Policy Data Page and is based on the issue age, sex, Specified Amount, Death Benefit Option and underwriting class of the Insured.

On each policy anniversary, we will determine if the Rider Minimum Premium requirement has been met.  This requirement shall be met if the sum of all previous Premium payments under the policy, less any partial withdrawals and existing policy indebtedness is greater than or equal to the sum of the annual Rider Minimum Premiums for the previous policy years.  If this requirement is met, the policy is guaranteed to remain in force during the next policy year, provided there are no new loans or partial withdrawals.  If this requirement is not met, we will notify you of the Premium payments required in order to continue benefits under this Rider.  A grace period of 61 days will be provided and if the required Premiums are not received during this grace period, the Rider will terminate without value.  During this grace period, the Rider charge will still apply.  During any policy year when benefits are being paid under the Waiver Monthly Deduction Rider, the annual Rider Minimum Premium that policy year will be equal to zero.

Spouse Life Insurance Rider

You may purchase this Rider at any time.  The benefit is a death benefit payable to the beneficiary you designate upon the Insured’s spouse’s death; otherwise, the benefit is payable to the Insured.  The benefit continues until the anniversary of the Rider on or next following the year in which the Insured's spouse turns age 70, you invoke the Policy Guard Rider, or the policy matures, whichever is earlier.  You will be charged for this Rider: so long as the policy remains In Force and the Rider’s term has not expired; until we have paid the benefit; until you invoke the Policy Guard Rider; or until you decide you no longer need the benefit and let us know in writing at our Home Office.  Because we deduct the charge for this benefit from the policy's Cash Value, your purchase of this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.  Otherwise, the benefit of this Rider and the Death Benefit are independent of one another.  This Rider has a conversion right.  The Insured's spouse may exchange this Rider's benefit for a level premium, level benefit plan or whole life or endowment insurance, subject to limitations.

Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider

You may purchase this Rider at any time so long as the policy is In Force and it is before the Policy Date on or following when the Insured reaches age 65.  If an Insured becomes disabled, as defined in this Rider, for six consecutive months within

18

the first three years from the Policy Date, the benefit is a credit to your policy in an amount necessary to keep the policy In Force.  The benefit for subsequent years, however, is a waiver of your policy's monthly charges.  So, say you become totally disabled for six consecutive months two years and eight months from the Policy Date.  For the first four months, the benefit would be a credit equal to the amount necessary to keep the policy In Force.  After that, the Rider's benefit is a waiver of your policy's monthly charges.

After the first three years from the Policy Date, this Rider's benefit may not be enough to keep your policy from Lapsing without needing to pay additional Premium.  Thereafter, with this Rider, it will cost you less, on a monthly basis, to keep the policy In Force.

For how long the benefit lasts depends on the Insured's age when total disability begins.  Before age 60, the benefit continues for as long as the Insured is totally disabled (even if that disability extends past when the Insured reaches age 65).  Between ages 60 and 63, the benefit continues until the Insured turns age 65.  From age 63, the benefit lasts only for two years.

Because we deduct the charge for this benefit from the policy's Cash Value, your purchase of this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.

Premium

This policy does not require a scheduled payment of Premium to keep it In Force.  The policy will remain in effect as long as the conditions that cause the policy to Lapse do not exist.  Upon request, we will furnish Premium receipts.

Initial Premium

The amount of your initial Premium will depend on the initial Specified Amount of insurance, the Death Benefit option, and any Riders you select.  Generally, the higher the required initial Specified Amount, the higher the initial Premium will be.  Similarly, because Death Benefit Option Two provides for a potentially greater Death Benefit than Death Benefit Option One, Death Benefit Option Two may require a higher amount of initial Premium.  Also, the age, health, and activities of the Insured will affect our determination of the risk of issuing the policy.  In general, the greater this risk, the higher the initial Premium will be.

Depending on the right to examine law of the state in which you live, initial Net Premium designated to be allocated to the Sub-Accounts may not be so allocated immediately upon our receipt.  (Any initial Net Premium designated to be allocated to fixed investment options will be so allocated immediately upon receipt.)  If you live in a state that requires us to refund the initial Premium upon exercise of the free-look provision, we will hold all of the initial Net Premium designated to be allocated to the Sub-Accounts in the available money market Sub-Account until the free-look period expires.  At the expiration of the free-look period, we will transfer the variable account Cash Value to the Sub-Accounts based on the allocation instructions in effect at the time of the transfer.  If you live in a state that requires us to refund the Cash Value upon exercise of the free-look provision, we will allocate all of the initial Net Premium to the available money market Sub-Account.  On the next Valuation Period, we will allocate all of the Cash Value to the designated Sub-Accounts based on the allocation instructions in effect at that time.

Whether we will issue full insurance coverage depends on the Insured meeting all underwriting requirements, you paying the initial Premium, and our delivery of the policy while the Insured is alive.  We will not delay delivery of the policy to increase the likelihood that the Insured is not still living.  Depending on the outcome of our underwriting process, more or less Premium may be necessary for us to issue the policy.  We also retain the right to not issue the policy, after which, if we exercise this right, we will return your payment within two business days thereafter.

You may pay the initial Premium to our Home Office or to our authorized representative.  The initial Premium payment must be at least $50, equal to the minimum monthly Premium.  The initial Premium payment will not be applied to the policy until the underwriting process is complete.

You may make additional Premium payments at any time while the policy is In Force, subject to the following:

· During the first 3 policy years, the total Premium payments, less any policy Indebtedness, less any partial surrender fee, must be greater than or equal to the minimum Premium requirement in order to guarantee that the policy will remain In Force.

· After the first 3 policy years, each premium payment must be at least equal to the minimum monthly Premium.

· We may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting any additional Premium payment that results in an increase in the policy’s Net Amount At Risk;

· We will refund Premium payments that exceed the applicable premium limit established by the IRS to qualify the policy as a contract for life insurance.  As discussed in the "Taxes" section of this prospectus, additional Premium payments or other changes to the policy may jeopardize the policy's non-modified endowment status.  We will monitor Premiums

19

paid and other policy transactions and will notify you when the policy’s non-modified endowment contract status is in jeopardy;

· We may require that policy Indebtedness be repaid prior to accepting any additional Premium payments.  Some, but not all, of the situations when we might exercise this right include when interest rates are low, when your policy loans exceed 90% of the Cash Value of your Sub-Account portfolio allocations, or when a Premium payment may alter the character of the policy for tax purposes.  For more information, see "Lapse," beginning on page 32.  We will let you know ahead of time; and

· We will send scheduled Premium payment reminder notices to you according to the Premium payment method shown on the Policy Data Page.  If you decide to make a subsequent Premium payment, you must send it to our Home Office.

Charges

Please read and consider the following, which we intend to be an amplification (but it may also be duplicative), in conjunction with the fee tables, and the accompanying footnotes, appearing earlier in the prospectus.  See "In Summary: Fee Tables," beginning on page 5.  Also, see the policy, including the Policy Data Page, and the Riders, for more information.

We will make deductions under the policy to compensate us for: the services and benefits we provide; the costs and expenses we incur; and the risks we assume.  Every time you make a Premium payment, we will charge against that Premium payment a Premium Load, which is composed of the sales load and premium taxes.  We will deduct all other charges from the policy’s Cash Value (rather than a Premium payment), in proportion to the balances of your Sub-Account portfolio, and the fixed account, allocations.  We will only deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Cash Value of the Sub-Account portfolios.  We will transfer the loan interest charge from your investment options to the loan account.  We take the monthly periodic charges in advance and we will not pro-rate any monthly Rider charge should the Rider terminate before the beginning of the next month.

There are also operating charges associated with the Sub-Account portfolios.  While you will not pay them directly, they will affect the value of the assets in the Sub-Account portfolios.  On a daily basis, the manager of each mutual fund that comprises the policy’s available variable investment options deducts operating charges from that mutual fund’s assets before calculating the NAV.  (We use NAV to calculate the value of your corresponding Sub-Account portfolio allocation in Accumulation Units.)  In addition, some mutual funds assess a short-term trading fee in connection with transfers from a Sub-Account that occur within 60 days after the date of the allocation to that Sub-Account.  The fee is assessed against the amount transferred and is paid to the mutual fund.  For more information on the operating charges and short-term trading fees assessed by the mutual funds held by the Sub-Account portfolios, please see the prospectus for the mutual fund and "Short-Term Trading Fees" in this prospectus.

Sales Load

This charge compensates us for our sales expenses.  The sales load portion of the Premium Load charge is guaranteed not to exceed $25 per $1,000 of Premium and covers our sales expenses.  Currently, this charge is equal to $25 per $1,000 of Premium up to the break point Premium, and $5 per $1,000 of Premium in excess of the break point Premium.  The break point Premium is shown in the Policy Data Page.  Sales load is assessed at each time each premium payment is submitted.  We may earn a profit from this charge.

Premium Taxes

The premium taxes portion of the Premium Load charge is $35 per $1,000 of Premium and reimburses us for state and local premium taxes (at the estimated rate of 2.25%), and for federal premium taxes (at the estimated rate of 1.25%).  This amount is an estimated amount.  If the actual tax liability is more or less, we will not adjust the charge, so we may profit from it.

Surrender Charges

A surrender charge will apply if you surrender or lapse the policy during the first nine years from the Policy Date and this charge compensates us for policy underwriting and sales expenses.  The charge will be deducted proportionally from the Cash Value in each Sub-Account and the fixed account.  The surrender charge is reduced by any partial surrender charge actually paid on previous decreases in the Specified Amount.  We may earn a profit from this charge.

The following tables illustrate the maximum initial surrender charge per $1,000 of initial Specified Amount for policies which are issued on a standard basis (see Appendix C for specific examples).

20

Initial Specified Amount $50,000-$99,999

Issue Age	Male Non-Tobacco	Female Non-Tobacco	Male Standard	Female Standard
25	$7.776	$7.521	$8.369	$7.818
35	$8.817	$8.398	$9.811	$8.891
45	$12.191	$11.396	$13.887	$12.169
55	$15.636	$14.011	$18.415	$15.116
65	$22.295	$19.086	$26.577	$20.641

Initial Specified Amount $100,000 or More

Issue Age	Male Non-Tobacco	Female Non-Tobacco	Male Standard	Female Standard
25	$5.776	$5.521	$6.369	$5.818
35	$6.817	$6.398	$7.811	$6.891
45	$9.691	$8.896	$11.387	$9.669
55	$13.136	$11.511	$15.915	$12.616
65	$21.295	$18.086	$25.577	$19.641

Special guaranteed maximum surrender charges apply in Pennsylvania (see Appendix C).  Ask for an illustration or see the Policy Data Page for more information on your cost.

The surrender charge amount decreases over time and we will deduct the surrender charge based on the following schedule:

Number of Completed Policy Years	Surrender Charge as a Percentage of Initial Surrender Charge
0	100%
1	100%
2	90%
3	80%
4	70%
5	60%
6	50%
7	40%
8	30%
9 and After	0%

There are two components of the surrender charge meant to cover our policy underwriting (the underwriting component) and sales expenses (the sales component), including processing the application; conducting any medical exams; determining insurability (and the Insured’s underwriting class); and establishing policy records.  For additional information on the components of this charge, see the Statement of Additional Information.

We will waive the surrender charge of your policy if you elect to surrender it in exchange for a plan of permanent fixed life insurance offered by us subject to the following:

·       the exchange and waiver may be subject to your providing us new evidence of insurability and our underwriting approval; and

·       you have not elected the Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider.

We may impose a new surrender charge on the policy received in the exchange.

Partial Surrender Fee

You may request a partial surrender after the first year from the Policy Date while the policy is In Force, and we may charge a $25 partial surrender fee to compensate us for the administrative costs in calculating and generating the surrender amount.  However, currently, there is no charge for a partial surrender.  The Cash Value available for a partial surrender is subject to any outstanding policy loans.

Short-Term Trading Fees

Some mutual funds may assess (or reserve the right to assess) a short-term trading fee in connection with transfers from a Sub-Account that occur within 60 days after the date of allocation to the Sub-Account.

Short-term trading fees are intended to compensate the mutual fund (and policy owners with interests allocated in the mutual fund) for the negative impact on fund performance that may result from frequent, short-term trading strategies.  Short-term trading fees are not intended to affect the large majority of policy owners not engaged in such strategies.

Any short-term trading fee assessed by any mutual fund available in conjunction with the policies described in this prospectus will equal 1% of the amount determined to be engaged in short-term trading.  Short-term trading fees will only apply to those Sub-Accounts corresponding to mutual funds that charge such fees.  Please refer to the prospectus for each Sub-Account portfolio for more detailed information.  Policy owners are responsible for monitoring the length of time

21

allocations are held in any particular Sub-Account.  We will not provide advance notice of the assessment of any applicable short-term trading fee.

For a list of available sub-accounts that assess short-term trading fees, see "Total Annual Sub-Account Portfolio Operating Expenses" earlier in this prospectus.

If a short-term trading fee is assessed, the mutual fund will charge the separate account 1% of the amount determined to be engaged in short-term trading.  The separate account will then pass the short-term trading fee on to the specific policy owner that engaged in short-term trading by deducting an amount equal to the fee from that policy owner’s sub-account value.  All such fees will be remitted to the mutual fund; none of the fee proceeds will be retained by us or the separate account.

Transfers will be considered to be made on a first in/first out (FIFO) basis for purposes of determining short-term trading fees.  In other words, units held the longest time will be treated as being transferred first, and units held for the shortest time will be treated as being transferred last.

Some transactions are not subject to short-term trading fees.  Transactions that are not subject to short-term trading fees include:

· scheduled and systematic transfers, such as Dollar Cost Averaging;

· policy loans or surrenders; or

· payment of the death benefit proceeds upon the Insured's death.

New share classes of currently available mutual funds may be added as investment options under the policy.  These new share classes may require the assessment of short-term trading fees.  When these new share classes are added, new Premium payments and exchange reallocations to the mutual funds in question may be limited to the new share class.

Cost Of Insurance

The cost of insurance charge compensates us for underwriting insurance protection.  The cost of insurance charge is the product of the Net Amount At Risk and the cost of insurance rate.

We base the cost of insurance rate on our expectations as to future mortality and expense experience.  The cost of insurance rate will vary by: the Insured’s sex; age; underwriting class; any substandard ratings; for how long the policy has been In Force and the Specified Amount.  There will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the initial Specified Amount and any increases.  The cost of insurance rates will never be greater than those shown on the Policy Data Page that we send you when you issue the policy.

We will uniformly apply a change in any cost of insurance rate for Insureds of the same age, sex, underwriting class and any substandard ratings, on whom policies with the same Specified Amount have been In Force for the same length of time.  The change could increase your cost of insurance charge, which, accordingly, would decrease your policy’s Cash Value, and the converse is true, too.  In contrast, you could cause your cost of insurance charge to decrease with a request to reduce the Specified Amount that also reduces the Net Amount At Risk.

There will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the initial Specified Amount and any Specified Amount increase.  An increase in the Specified Amount may cause an increase in the Net Amount At Risk.  Because the Cost of Insurance Charge is based on the Net Amount At Risk, and because there will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the increase, this will usually cause the policy’s Cost of Insurance Charge to increase.  An increase in the Specified Amount may require you to make larger or additional Premium payments in order to avoid Lapsing the Policy.

The rate class of an insured may affect the cost of insurance rate.  Nationwide currently places insureds into both standard rate classes and substandard rate classes that involve a higher mortality risk.  In an otherwise identical polity, an insured in the standard rate class will have a lower cost of insurance than an insured in a rate class with higher mortality risks.  Nationwide may also issue certain policies on a “non medical” basis to certain categories of individuals.  Due to the underwriting criteria established for policies issued on a non medical basis, actual rates will be higher than the current cost of insurance rates being charged that are medically underwritten.

Mortality And Expense Risk

Though the maximum guaranteed mortality and expense risk charge is higher, currently, we deduct this charge on a daily basis according to the following schedule.  During the first through ninth year from the Policy Date, the annualized charge is $8.00 per $1,000 of Cash Value.  After the ninth year, this annualized charge is $8.00 per $1,000 on the first $25,000 of Cash Value and $5.00 per $1,000 of additional Cash Value.  This charge compensates us for assuming risks associated with mortality and expense costs, and we may profit from it.  The mortality risk is that the Insured does not live as long as expected.  The expense risk is that the costs of issuing and administering the policy are more than expected.

Administrative

Currently, we deduct $12.50 per month through the first year from the Policy Date for the administrative charge.  The maximum guaranteed administrative charge is $25 per month in the first policy year.  Thereafter, we currently deduct $5 per

22

month, and the maximum guaranteed administrative charge is $7.50 per month.  This charge reimburses us for the costs of maintaining the policy, including for accounting and record-keeping.

Increase Charge

The increase charge is deducted proportionally from the Cash Value in the Sub-Accounts and the fixed account when the Policy Owner requests an increase in the Specified Amount.  It is used to cover the cost of underwriting the requested increase and processing and distribution expenses related to the increase.

The increase charge is comprised of two components: underwriting and administration; and sales.  The underwriting and administration component is equal to $1.50 per year per $1,000 of increase.  The sales component is equal to $0.54 per year per $1,000 of increase.  Together, the maximum charge totals $2.04 per year ($0.17 per month).

Policy Loan Interest

We will charge interest on the amount of an outstanding policy loan, at the rate of 6.0% per annum, which will have accrued daily and become due and payable at the end of the year from the Policy Date.  If left unpaid, we will add it to the loan amount.  As collateral or security for repayment, we will transfer an equal amount of Cash Value to the policy loan account, on which interest will accrue and be credited daily.  During years two through 14 from the Policy Date, the current and guaranteed interest crediting rate is 5.1%.  Thereafter, the current interest crediting rate is 6.0% per annum for all loans (guaranteed minimum of 5.1%).  Accordingly, your net cost for an ordinary loan during years one through 14 from the Policy Date is 0.9% per annum currently.  Thereafter, there is no cost (a net cost of zero) for a loan currently.  For more information, see "Collateral and Interest," beginning on page 32.

Children’s Insurance Rider

The charge for this Rider is $0.43 per $1,000 of Specified Amount of the Rider.  This charge compensates us for providing term insurance on the life of each child of the Insured.  We will charge for the Rider so long as the policy is In Force and the Rider is in effect.  The cost will remain the same, even if you request to change the number of children covered under the Rider.  However, we may decline your request to add another child based on our underwriting standards.

Change of Insured Rider

There is no charge for this Rider and you may elect it at any time.  The costs and benefits under the policy after the change will be based on, and could change with the underwriting classification and characteristics of the new Insured, but this Rider’s benefit will have no impact on the policy’s death benefit.

Spouse Life Insurance Rider

This charge for this Rider compensates us for providing term insurance on the life of the Insured’s spouse.  The charge is the product of the Specified Amount of this Rider and the spouse life insurance cost of insurance rate.  We base the spouse life insurance cost of insurance rate on our expectations as to the mortality of the Insured's spouse.  The spouse life insurance cost of insurance rate will vary by: the spouse's sex; Attained Age; underwriting class; any substandard ratings; and Specified Amount of the Rider.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider

This charge for this Rider compensates us for providing coverage in the event of the Insured’s accidental death, meaning the Insured’s death as a result of bodily injury caused by external, violent and accidental means from a cause other than a risk not assumed.  The charge is the product of the Specified Amount of this Rider and the accidental death benefit cost of insurance rate.  We base the accidental death benefit cost of insurance rate on our expectations as to the likelihood of the Insured's accidental death.  The accidental death benefit cost of insurance rate will vary by: the Insured's sex; Attained Age; underwriting class; and any substandard ratings.

Base Insured Term Rider

This charge for this Rider compensates us for providing term life insurance on the Insured.  The charge is the product of the Specified Amount of this Rider and the additional protection cost of insurance rate.  We base the additional protection cost of insurance rate on our expectation as to the Insured's mortality.  The additional protection cost of insurance rate will vary by: the Insured's sex; Attained Age; underwriting class; any substandard ratings; and the Specified Amount of the Rider.

Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider

This charge for this Rider compensates us for waiving monthly charges (excluding this Rider's charge) upon the Insured’s total disability, as defined in this Rider, for six consecutive months.  However, during the first three years from the Policy Date, we will instead credit your policy with the minimum monthly Premium payment due during the Insured's total disability.  The charge is the product of the amount of periodic charges deducted from the policy on a monthly basis (excluding the cost for this Rider) and the deduction waiver cost rate.  We base the deduction waiver cost rate on our expectations as to the likelihood of the Insured's total disability for six consecutive months.  The deduction waiver cost rate varies by: the Insured's sex; Attained Age; underwriting class; and any substandard ratings.

23

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider

There is no charge for this Rider during the first three policy years.  The charge subsequently assessed compensates us for guaranteeing the minimum death benefit.  The Rider charge does not vary by insured.

Reduction of Charges

In addition to sales to individuals, the policy may be purchased by corporations and other entities.  Nationwide may reduce or eliminate certain charges (sales load, surrender charge, monthly administrative charge, monthly cost of insurance charge, or other charges) where the size or nature of the group allows us to realize savings with respect to sales, underwriting, administrative or other costs.

We determine the eligibility and the amount of any reduction by examining a number of factors, including: the number of policies owned with different Insureds; the total Premium we expect to receive; total Cash Value of commonly owned policies; the nature of the relationship among individual Insureds; the purpose for which the policies are being purchased; the length of time we expect the individual policies to be In Force; and any other circumstances which are rationally related to the expected reduction in expenses.

We may lower commissions to the selling broker-dealer and/or increase charge back of commissions paid for policies sold with reduced or eliminated charges.  If you have questions about whether your policy is eligible for reduction of any charges, please consult with your registered representative for more specific information.  Your registered representative can answer your questions and where appropriate can provide you with illustrations demonstrating the impact of any reduced charges for which you may be eligible.

We may change both the extent and the nature of the reductions.  We make the reductions in charges in a way that is not unfairly discriminatory to policy owners and reflects the differences in costs of services we provide.

Entities considering purchasing the policy should note that in 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that certain annuity benefits provided by employers' retirement and fringe benefit programs may not vary between men and women on the basis of sex.  The policies offered by this prospectus are based upon actuarial tables which distinguish between men and women unless the purchaser is an entity and requests that we use sex non-distinct tables.  Thus the policies generally provide different benefits to men and women of the same age.  Accordingly, employers and employee organizations should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the impact of Norris on any employment related insurance or benefit program before purchasing this policy.

A Note On Charges

During a policy's early years, the expenses we incur in distributing and establishing the policy exceed the deductions we take.  Nevertheless, we expect to make a profit over time because variable life insurance is intended to be a long-term financial investment.  Accordingly, we have designed the policy with features and investment options that we believe support and encourage long-term ownership.

We make many assumptions and account for many economic and financial factors when we establish the policy's fees and charges.  The following is a discussion of some of the factors that are relevant to the policy's pricing structure.

Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses.  Distribution, promotional and sales expenses include amounts we pay to broker-dealer firms as commissions, expense allowances and marketing allowances.  We refer to these expenses collectively as "total compensation." The maximum total compensation we pay to any broker-dealer firm in conjunction with policy sales is 99% of first year premiums and 3% of renewal premium after the first year.

We have the ability to customize the total compensation package of our broker-dealer firms.  We may vary the form of compensation paid or the amounts paid as commission, expense allowance or marketing allowance; however, the total compensation will not exceed the maximum (99% of first year premiums and 3% of renewal premium after the first year).  Commission may also be paid as an asset-based amount instead of a premium based amount.  If an asset-based commission is paid, it will not exceed 0.25% of the non-loaned cash value per year.

The actual amount and/or forms of total compensation we pay depend on factors such as the level of premiums we receive from respective broker-dealer firms and the scope of services they provide.  Some broker-dealer firms may not receive maximum total compensation.

Individual registered representatives typically receive a portion of the commissions/total compensation we pay, depending on their arrangement with their broker-dealer firm.  If you would like to know the exact compensation arrangement associated with this product, you should consult your registered representative.

Our Relationship with the Underlying Mutual Funds.  The underlying mutual funds incur expenses each time they sell, administer, or redeem their shares.  The separate account aggregates policy owner purchase, redemption, and transfer requests and submits net or aggregated purchase/redemption requests to each underlying mutual fund daily.  The separate account (not the

24

policy owners) is the underlying mutual fund shareholder.  When the separate account aggregates transactions, the underlying mutual fund does not incur the expense of processing individual transactions it would normally incur if it sold its shares directly to the public.  We incur these expenses instead.

We also incur the distribution costs of selling the policy (as discussed above), which benefit the underlying mutual funds by providing policy owners with Sub-Account options that correspond to the underlying mutual funds.  

An investment adviser or subadviser of an underlying mutual fund or its affiliates may provide us or our affiliates with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the policy and may pay us or our affiliates to participate in educational and/or marketing activities.  These activities may provide the adviser or subadviser (or their affiliates) with increased exposure to persons involved in the distribution of the policy.

Types of Payments We Receive.  In light of the above, the underlying mutual funds or their affiliates make certain payments to us or our affiliates (the “payments”).  The amount of these payments is typically based on a percentage of assets invested in the underlying mutual funds attributable to the policies and other variable policies we and our affiliates issue, but in some cases may involve a flat fee.  These payments may be used by us for any corporate purpose, which include reducing the prices of the policies, paying expenses that we or our affiliates incur in promoting, marketing, and administering the policies and the underlying mutual funds, and achieving a profit.

We or our affiliates receive the following types of payments:

· Underlying mutual fund 12b-1 fees, which are deducted from underlying mutual fund assets;

· Sub-transfer agent fees or fees pursuant to administrative service plans adopted by the underlying mutual fund, which may be deducted from underlying mutual fund assets; and

· Payments by an underlying mutual fund’s adviser or subadviser (or its affiliates).  Such payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee, which is deducted from underlying mutual fund assets and is reflected in mutual fund charges.

Furthermore, we benefit from assets invested in our affiliated underlying mutual funds (i.e., Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust) because our affiliates also receive compensation from the underlying mutual funds for investment advisory, administrative, transfer agency, distribution, and/or other services.  Thus, we may receive more revenue with respect to affiliated underlying mutual funds than unaffiliated underlying mutual funds.

We took into consideration the anticipated payments from the underlying mutual funds when we determined the charges imposed under the policies (apart from fees and expenses imposed by the underlying mutual funds).  Without these payments, we would have imposed higher charges under the policy.

Amount of Payments We Receive.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the underlying mutual fund payments we and our affiliates received from the underlying mutual funds did not exceed 0.50% (as a percentage of the average daily net assets invested in the underlying mutual funds) offered through this policy or other variable policies that we and our affiliates issue.  Payments from investment advisers or subadvisers to participate in educational and/or marketing activities have not been taken into account in this percentage.

Most underlying mutual funds or their affiliates have agreed to make payments to us or our affiliates, although the applicable percentages may vary from underlying mutual fund to underlying mutual fund and some may not make any payments at all.  Because the amount of the actual payments we or our affiliates receive depends on the assets of the underlying mutual funds attributable to the policy, we and our affiliates may receive higher payments from underlying mutual funds with lower percentages (but greater assets) than from underlying mutual funds that have higher percentages (but fewer assets).

For additional information related to the amount of payments Nationwide receives, go to www.nationwide.com.

Identification of Underlying Mutual Funds.   We may consider several criteria when identifying the underlying mutual funds, including some or all of the following:  investment objectives, investment process, investment performance, risk characteristics, investment capabilities, experience and resources, investment consistency, and fund expenses.  Another factor we consider during the identification process is whether the underlying mutual fund’s adviser or subadviser is one of our affiliates or whether the underlying mutual fund, its adviser, its subadviser(s), or an affiliate will make payments to us or our affiliates.

There may be underlying mutual funds with lower fees, as well as other variable policies that offer underlying mutual funds with lower fees.  You should consider all of the fees and charges of the policy in relation to its features and benefits when making your decision to invest.  Please note that higher policy and underlying mutual fund fees and charges have a direct effect on your investment performance.

To Allocate Net Premium And Sub-Account Valuation

When you apply for the policy, you choose how your Net Premium will be allocated among the available Sub-Accounts once the free look period expires.  When this actually happens depends on the right to examine law of the state in which you live.  Or you may choose to allocate all or a portion of your Net Premium to the fixed investment option, and we will allocate it when we receive it.

Based on the right to examine law, some states require that we refund the initial Premium if you exercise your right to cancel the policy.  Others require that we return the Cash Value.  If yours is a state that requires us to refund the initial Premium, we will hold the initial Net Premium in the available money market Sub-Account until the free-look period expires.  Once your examination right ends, we will transfer the Variable Account Cash Value to your Sub-Account allocations in effect at the time of the transfer.  If yours is a state that requires us to refund the Cash Value, we will allocate all of the initial Net Premium to the available money-market Sub-Account.  On the next Valuation Period, we will allocate all of the Cash Value to the designated Sub-Accounts based on the allocation instructions in effect at that time.  Any initial Net Premium designated to be allocated to fixed investment options will be so allocated immediately upon receipt.

Variable Investment Options

The variable investment options constitute the limitedly available mutual funds, and we have divided the separate account into an equal number of Sub-Account portfolios to account for your allocations.  Each Sub-Account portfolio invests in a mutual fund that is registered with the SEC.  (This registration does not involve the SEC's supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of these mutual funds.)  The "Available Sub-Accounts" section identifies the available mutual funds, by name, investment type and adviser.  Your choices and any changes will appear on the Policy Data Page.

Each Sub-Account portfolio’s assets are held separately from the assets of the other Sub-Account portfolios, and each Sub-Account portfolio has investment objectives and policies that are different from those of the other Sub-Account portfolios.  Thus, each Sub-Account portfolio operates as a separate investment fund, and the income or losses of one Sub-Account portfolio generally have no effect on the Investment Experience of any other Sub-Account portfolio.

The Fixed Investment Option

The Net Premium you allocate to the fixed investment option is held in the fixed account, which is part of our general account.  The general account contains all of our assets other than those in the separate accounts and funds the fixed investment option.  These assets are subject to our general liabilities from business operations.  The general account is used to support our insurance and annuity obligations.  Any amounts in excess of the separate account liabilities are deposited into our general account.  We bear the full investment risk for all amounts allocated to the fixed account.

We guarantee that the amounts you allocate to the fixed investment option will be credited interest daily at a net effective annual interest rate of no less than the stated interest crediting rate on the Policy Data Page.  We will credit any interest in excess of the guaranteed interest crediting rate at our sole discretion.  You assume the risk that the actual rate may not exceed the guaranteed interest crediting rate.

The amounts you allocate to the fixed investment option will not share in the investment performance of our general account.  Rather, the investment income you earn on your allocations will be based on varying rates we set.

The general account is not subject to the same laws as the separate account, and the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the fixed account.  However, information about the fixed account is subject to federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of the statements made by prospectus disclosure.

Interest rates are set at the beginning of each calendar quarter.  You may receive a different interest rate depending on the rates in effect when you purchase the policy.  The rate may also vary for Net Premiums versus a transfer of Accumulation Units from a Sub-Account portfolio.  In honoring your request to transfer an amount out of the fixed account, we will do so on a last-in, first out basis (LIFO).  Interest we credit to the fixed investment option may not increase the Cash Surrender Value enough to cover the policy’s charges.  If not, the policy may Lapse.  For more information, see "Lapse," beginning on page 32.

Allocation Of Net Premium And Cash Value

We allocate your Net Premium payments to Sub-Accounts or the fixed account per your instructions.  Shares of the underlying mutual funds allocated to the Sub-Accounts are purchased at Net Asset Value, then converted into Accumulation Units.  You must specify your Net Premium payments in whole percentages.  The sum of allocations must equal 100%.

You may change the allocation of Net Premiums or may transfer Cash Value from one Sub-Account to another.  Changes are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by each underlying mutual fund and those found in this prospectus.  Net Premiums allocated to the fixed account at the time of application may not be transferred from the fixed account prior to the first policy anniversary (see "Fixed Account Transfers”).

When Accumulation Units Are Valued

We will price Accumulation Units on any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for business, unless we are closed.

We will not price Accumulation Units on these recognized holidays:

· New Year's Day

· Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

· Presidents’ Day

· Good Friday

· Memorial Day

· Independence Day

· Labor Day

· Thanksgiving

· Christmas.

In addition, we will not price Accumulation Units if:

· trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

· an emergency exists making disposal or valuation of securities held in the separate account impracticable; or

· the SEC, by order, permits a suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.

SEC rules and regulations govern when the conditions described above exist.  Any transaction you try to effect when we are closed will not happen until the next day the NYSE and we are both open for business.

We will process transactions we receive after the close of the NYSE on the next Valuation Period that we are open.

How Investment Experience Is Determined

Though the number of Accumulation Units will not change as a result of Investment Experience, changes in the net investment factor, as described below, may cause the value of an Accumulation Unit to increase or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation Period.  Changes in the net investment factor may not be directly proportional to changes in the NAV of the mutual fund shares.

We determine the change in Sub-Account values at the end of a Valuation Period.  The Accumulation Unit value for a Valuation Period is determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value as of the prior Valuation Period by the net investment factor for the Sub-Account for the current Valuation Period.

We determine the net investment factor for any Valuation Period by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result where:

(a)   is the sum of:

1. the NAV per share of the mutual fund held in the Sub-Account as of the end of the current Valuation Period;

2. the per share amount of any dividend or income distributions made by the mutual fund (if the date of the dividend or income distribution occurs during the current Valuation Period);

3. a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for as a result of the Sub-Account's investment operations if changes to the law result in a modification to the tax treatment of the separate account;

(b)   is the NAV per share of the mutual fund determined as of the end of the immediately precedingValuation Period; and.

                (c) is a factor representing the daily mortality and expense risk charge.  This factor is equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% of the daily net assets of the variable account.  Each policy anniversary starting on the 10th, the mortality and expense risk charge is reduced to an annualized rate of 0.50% of the daily net assets of the variable account if the Cash Surrender Value is $25,000 or more each anniversary.  For policies issued in New York, the charge is reduced regardless of the Cash Surrender Value on each anniversary.

Cash Value

The policy has a Cash Value.  There is no guaranteed Cash Value.  Rather, it will be based on the values, and vary with the Investment Experience of the Sub-Account portfolios to which you have allocated Net Premium, as well as the values of, and any daily crediting of interest to, the policy loan (if you have taken a policy loan) and fixed accounts.  It will also vary

27

because we deduct the policy's periodic charges from the Cash Value.  So, if the policy's Cash Value is part of the Death Benefit option you have chosen, then your Death Benefit will fluctuate.

We will determine the value of the assets in the separate account at the end of each Valuation Period.  We will determine the Cash Value at least monthly.  To determine the number of Accumulation Units credited to each Sub-Account, we divide the net amount you allocate to the Sub-Account by the Accumulation Unit value for the Sub-Account (using the next Valuation Period following when we receive the Premium).

If you surrender part or all of the policy, we will deduct a number of Accumulation Units from the separate account and an amount from the fixed account that corresponds to the surrendered amount.  Thus, your policy’s Cash Value will be reduced by the surrendered amount.  Similarly, when we assess charges or deductions, a number of Accumulation Units from the separate account and an amount from the fixed account that corresponds with the charge or deduction will be deducted from the policy’s Cash Value.  We make these deductions in the same proportion that your interests in the separate account and the fixed account bear to the policy’s total Cash Value.

The Cash Value in the policy loan and fixed accounts will be credited interest daily at the guaranteed minimum annual effective rate stated on the Policy Data Page.  For there to be Cash Value in the policy loan account, you must have taken a policy loan.  We may decide to credit interest in excess of the guaranteed minimum annual effective rate.  For the fixed account, we will guarantee the current rate in effect through the end of the calendar quarter.  Upon request, we will inform you of the current applicable rates for each account. For more information, see "The Fixed Investment Option," beginning on page 26 and "Policy Loan Interest," beginning on page 23.

On any date during the policy year, the Cash Value equals the Cash Value on the preceding Valuation Period, plus any Net Premium applied since the previous Valuation Period, minus any policy charges, plus or minus any investment results, and minus any partial surrenders.

Dollar Cost Averaging

You may elect to participate in a dollar cost averaging program.  Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy designed to reduce the investment risks associated with market fluctuations, which will promote a more stable Cash Value and Death Benefit over time.  The strategy spreads the allocation of your Premium among the Sub-Account portfolios and the fixed investment option over a period of time to allow you to potentially reduce the risk of investing most of your Premium into the Sub-Accounts at a time when prices are high.  There is no charge for dollar cost averaging, but it does count as a transfer event.  For more information regarding transfer events, see "Modes To Make A Transfer," beginning on page 15.

On a monthly basis (or another frequency we may permit), a specified dollar amount of your Premium is systematically and automatically transferred from the fixed account and the following Sub-Accounts: Lehman Brothers Advisers Management Trust – AMT Short Duration Bond Portfolio: I Class, NVIT Nationwide NVIT Government Bond Fund: Class I, and the NVIT Nationwide NVIT Money Market Fund: Class I .  Dollar cost averaging transfers may not be directed to the fixed account.

We will continue to process transfers until there is no more value left in the fixed account or the originating mutual fund(s).  You may also instruct us in writing to stop the transfers.  If you have Premium transferred from the fixed account, the amount must be no more than 1/30th of the fixed account value at the time you elect to participate in the program.  Either you elect to participate in the dollar cost averaging program upon application or by submitting an election form before the beginning of the month.

A dollar cost averaging program may not be available in all states.  We do not assure the success of these strategies; success depends on market trends.  We cannot guarantee that dollar cost averaging will result in a profit or protect against loss.  You should carefully consider your financial ability to continue these programs over a long enough period of time to purchase Accumulation Units when their value is low, as well as when their value is high.  We may modify, suspend or discontinue these programs at any time.  We will notify you in writing 30 days before we do so.

The Death Benefit

Calculation Of The Death Benefit Proceeds

We will calculate the Death Benefit and pay it to the beneficiary when we receive at our Home Office proof that the Insured has died, as well as other customary information.  We will not dispute the payment of the Death Benefit after the policy has been In Force during the Insured’s lifetime for two years from the Policy Date.  The Death Benefit may be subject to an adjustment if you make an error or misstatement upon application, or if the Insured dies by suicide.

While the policy is In Force, the Death Benefit will never be less than the Specified Amount.  The Death Benefit will depend on which option you have chosen and the tax test you have elected, as discussed in greater detail below.  Also, the Death Benefit may vary with the Cash Value of the policy, which will depend on investment performance and take into account any insurance provided by Riders, as well as outstanding Indebtedness and any due and unpaid monthly deductions that accrued during a Grace Period.

28

Death Benefit Options

There are two Death Benefit options under the policy.  You may choose one.

If you do not choose one of the following Death Benefit options, we will assume that you intended to choose Death Benefit Option One.

Option One

The Death Benefit will be the greater of the Specified Amount or the applicable percentage of Cash Value.  Under Option One, the amount of the Death Benefit will ordinarily not change for several years to reflect investment performance and may not change at all.  If investment performance is favorable, the amount of Death Benefit may increase.  To see how and when investment performance may begin to affect Death Benefits, please see the illustrations.

Option Two

The Death Benefit will be the greater of the Specified Amount plus the Cash Value as of the date of death or the applicable percentage of Cash Value, and will vary directly with investment performance.

In connection with both Death Benefit options, the term "applicable percentage" means:

(1) 250% when the Insured is Attained Age 40 or less at the beginning of a policy year; and

(2) when the Insured is above Attained Age 40, the percentage shown in the "Applicable Percentage of Cash Value Table."

Applicable Percentage of Cash Value Table

Attained Age	Percentage of Cash Value	Attained Age	Percentage of Cash Value	Attained Age	Percentage of Cash Value
0-40	250%	60	130%	80	105%

The Minimum Required Death Benefit

The policy has a Minimum Required Death Benefit.  The Minimum Required Death Benefit is the lowest Death Benefit that will qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code.

The tax tests for life insurance generally require that the policy have a significant element of life insurance and not be primarily an investment vehicle.  At the time we issue the policy, you irrevocably elect one of the following tests to qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code:

· the cash value accumulation test; or

· the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.

If you do not elect a test, we will assume that you intended to elect the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.

The cash value accumulation test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by multiplying the Cash Value by a percentage described in the federal tax regulations.  The percentages depend upon the Insured's age, sex, and underwriting classification.  Under the cash value accumulation test, there is no limit to the amount that may be paid in Premiums as long

29

as there is sufficient Death Benefit in relation to the Cash Value at all times.

The guideline premium/cash value corridor test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by comparing the Death Benefit to an applicable percentage of the Cash Value.  These percentages are set out in the Code, but the percentage varies only by the Attained Age of the Insured.

Regardless of which test you elect, we will monitor compliance to ensure that the policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance for federal tax purposes.  As a result, the Proceeds payable under a policy should be excludable from gross income of the beneficiary for federal income tax purposes.  We may refuse additional Premium payments or return Premium payments to you so that the policy continues to meet the Code's definition of life insurance.

Changes In The Death Benefit Option

After the first year from the Policy Date, you may elect to change the Death Benefit option under the policy from either Option One to Option Two, or from Option Two to Option One.  We will permit only one change of Death Benefit option per policy year.  The effective date of a change will be the monthly anniversary date following the date we approve the change.

Upon effecting a Death Benefit option change, we will adjust the Specified Amount so that the Net Amount At Risk remains the same.  The policy’s charges going forward will be based on the adjusted Specified Amount causing the charges to be higher or lower than they were prior to the change.  We will refuse a Death Benefit option change that would reduce the Specified Amount to a level where the Premium you have already paid would exceed any premium limit under the tax tests for life insurance.

If Option One is changed to Option Two, policy charges will decrease.  If Option Two is changed to Option One, policy charges will increase.

Where the policy owner has selected the guideline premium/cash value corridor test, a change in Death Benefit option will not be permitted if it results in the total Premiums paid exceeding the maximum premium limitations under Section 7702 of the Code.

Suicide

If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the Policy Date, we will pay no more than the sum of the Premiums paid, less any Indebtedness and any partial surrenders.  Similarly, if the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the date we accept an application for an increase in the Specified Amount, we will pay no more than the Death Benefit associated with the initial Specified Amount, plus the cost of insurance charges associated with the increase in Specified Amount.

Surrenders

Full Surrender

You may surrender the policy for the Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Insured is alive.  We calculate the Cash Surrender Value based on the policy's Cash Value.  For more information, see "Cash Value," beginning on page 27.  To derive the Cash Surrender Value, we will deduct from the Cash Value Indebtedness and the surrender charge.  The effective date of a surrender will coincide with the date on which we receive the policy and your written request at our Home Office.  We reserve the right to postpone payment of that portion of the Cash Surrender Value attributable to the fixed account for up to six months.

Partial Surrender

You may request, in writing to our Home Office, a partial surrender of the policy’s Cash Surrender Value at any time after it has been In Force for one year from the Policy Date.  Currently, we do not charge a surrender fee for partial surrenders.

Partial surrenders are permitted if they satisfy the following requirements:

(1)           the minimum amount of any partial surrender is $500;

(2)           partial surrenders may not reduce the specified amount to less than $50,000;

(3) after a partial surrender, the Cash Surrender Value is greater than $500 or an amount equal to three times the current monthly deduction if higher;

(4) maximum total partial surrenders in any policy year are limited to 10% of the total net Premium payments applied to the policy.  Currently, this requirement is waived beginning in the 15^th year if the Cash Surrender Value is $10,000 or more after the withdrawal; and

(5) after the partial surrender, the policy continues to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code.

30

When a partial surrender is made, the Cash Value will be reduced by the amount of the partial surrender.  Under Death Benefit Option One, the Specified Amount is reduced by the amount of the partial surrender, unless the Death Benefit is based on the applicable percentage of Cash Value.  In that case, a partial surrender will decrease the Specified Amount proportionally based on the applicable percentage of Cash Value by the amount the partial surrender exceeds the difference between the Death Benefit and Specified Amount.

Partial surrenders may be subject to income tax penalties.  They could also cause your policy to become a "modified endowment contract" under the Code, which could change the income tax treatment of any distribution from the policy.  For more information, see "Periodic Withdrawals, Non-Periodic Withdrawals And Loans," beginning on page 34.

Reduction Of Specified Amount On A Partial Surrender

We will reduce the Cash Value of the policy by the amount of any partial surrender in the same proportion as how you have allocated Cash Value among the Sub-Accounts.  We will only reduce the Cash Value attributable to the fixed account when that of the Sub-Accounts is insufficient to cover the amount of the partial surrender.

When you take a partial surrender, we will reduce the Specified Amount to ensure that the Net Amount At Risk does not increase.  Because your Net Amount At Risk is the same before and after the reduction, a partial surrender by itself does not alter the policy’s cost of insurance.  The policy’s charges going forward will be based on a new Specified Amount that will change the calculation of those charges.  Depending on changes in variables such as the Cash Value, these charges may increase or decrease after the reduction in Specified Amount.

Any reduction we make to the Specified Amount will be made in the following order:

· against the most recent increase in the Specified Amount;

· against the next most recent increases in the Specified Amount in succession; and

· against the Specified Amount under the original application.

Income Tax Withholding

Federal law requires Nationwide to withhold income tax from any portion of surrender proceeds subject to tax.  Nationwide will withhold income tax unless the policy owner advises Nationwide, in writing, of his or her request not to withhold.  If a policy owner requests that taxes not be withheld, or if the taxes withheld are insufficient, the policy owner may be liable for payment of an estimated tax.  Policy owners should consult a tax advisor.

In certain employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements, including equity split dollar arrangements, participants may be required to report for income tax purposes, one or more of the following:

(1)           the value each year of the life insurance protection provided;

(2)           an amount equal to any employer-paid premiums; or

(3)           some or all of the amount by which the current value exceeds the employer’s interest in the policy.

Participants should consult with the sponsor or the administrator of the plan, and/or with their personal tax or legal advisor, to determine the tax consequences, if any, of their employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements.

Policy Loans

While the policy is In Force, you may take an advance of money from the Cash Value at any time after the first policy year using the policy as security.  We call this advance a policy loan.  You must make your request in writing at our Home Office.  You may increase your risk of Lapse if you take a policy loan.  There also may be adverse tax consequences.  You should obtain competent tax advice before you decide to take a policy loan.

Loan Amount And Interest

The minimum policy loan you may take is $200.  Maximum policy Indebtedness is limited to 90% of the Cash Value of the variable account, less any surrender charges, less interest due on the next policy anniversary.

For policies issued in Texas, maximum policy Indebtedness is limited to 90% of the Cash Value in the Sub-Accounts and 100% of the Cash Value in the fixed account, less surrender charges and interest due on the next policy anniversary.  For more information, see "Full Surrender," beginning on page 30.  We charge interest, at the maximum guaranteed rate of 6% per annum, on the amount of an outstanding loan, which will accrue daily and be payable at the end of each year from the Policy Date.  If left unpaid, we will add the interest to the loan amount.

31

Collateral And Interest

As collateral or security, we will transfer a corresponding amount of Cash Value from each Sub-Account to the loan account in the same proportion as your Sub-Account allocations, unless you instruct otherwise.  We will only make a transfer from the fixed investment option when sufficient amounts are not available in the Sub-Accounts.  The amount taken out of the variable account will not be affected by the variable account's Investment Experience while the loan is outstanding.

Currently, policy loans are credited with an annual effective rate of 5.1% during policy years 2 through 14 and an annual effective rate of 6% during the 15th and subsequent policy years.  Nationwide guarantees the rate will never be lower than 5.1%.  Nationwide may change the current interest crediting rate on policy loans at any time at its sole discretion.

Amounts transferred to the policy loan account will earn interest daily from the date of transfer.  The earned interest is transferred from the policy loan account to the variable account or the fixed account on each policy anniversary, at the time a new loan is requested or at the time of loan repayment.  The earned interest will be allocated according to the fund allocation factors in effect at the time of the transfer.

If it is determined that such loans will be treated, as a result of the differential between the interest crediting rate and the loan interest rate, as taxable distributions under any applicable ruling, regulation, or court decision, Nationwide retains the right to increase the net cost (by decreasing the interest crediting rate) on all subsequent policy loans to an amount that would result in the transaction being treated as a loan under federal tax law.

Repayment

You may repay all or part of a policy loan at any time while your policy is In Force during the Insured’s lifetime.  The minimum repayment is $50.  Interest on the loan amount will be due and payable at the end of each year from the Policy Date or at the time of loan repayment.  If left unpaid, we will add it to the loan amount by transferring a corresponding amount of Cash Value from each Sub-Account to the loan account in the same proportion as your Sub-Account allocations.  While your policy loan is outstanding, we will continue to treat any payments that you make as a Premium payment, unless you instruct otherwise.  Similarly, we will apply a loan repayment in the same proportion as your current Sub-Account allocations, unless you instruct otherwise.  Specific instructions for repayment procedures are provided at the time of a policy loan.

Net Effect Of Policy Loans

We will charge interest on the loan amount at the same time as the collateral amount will be credited interest.  In effect, we will net the loan amount interest rate against the interest crediting rate, so that your actual cost of a policy loan will be less than the loan amount interest rate.  For more information, see "In Summary: Fee Tables," in particular, the footnotes, beginning on page 5.  Nevertheless, keep in mind that the Cash Value we transferred to the loan account will neither be affected by the Investment Experience of the Sub-Account portfolios, nor credited with the interest rates accruing on the fixed account.  Whether repaid, a policy loan will affect the policy, the net Cash Surrender Value and the Death Benefit.  If your total Indebtedness ever exceeds the policy's Cash Value, your policy may Lapse.  Repaying a policy loan will cause the Death Benefit and net Cash Surrender Value to increase accordingly.

The amount transferred to the loan account will neither be affected by the Investment Experience of the Sub-Accounts, nor will it be credited with the same interest rates credit to fixed investment option allocations.  Even if it is repaid, a policy loan will affect the policy, the Cash Surrender Value and the Death Benefit.  If your total indebtedness ever exceeds the policy’s Cash Value, your policy may lapse.

Lapse

The policy is at risk of Lapsing when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction of periodic charges.  There is a Grace Period before your policy will Lapse.  Also, you may reinstate a policy that has Lapsed, subject to conditions.

Grace Period

We will send you a notice when the Grace Period begins.  The notice will state an amount of Premium required to avoid Lapse that is equal to four times the current monthly deductions.  If you do not pay this Premium within 61 days, the policy and all Riders will Lapse.  The Grace Period will not alter the operation of the policy or the payment of Proceeds.

The policies will not Lapse during the first three policy years provided that on each monthly anniversary date (1) is greater than or equal to (2), where:

(1) is the sum of all Premiums paid to date minus any policy Indebtedness, minus any partial surrenders; and

(2) is the sum of monthly Premiums required since the Policy Date, including the monthly minimum Premium for the current monthly anniversary date.

If (1) is less than (2) and the Cash Surrender Value is less than zero, a Grace Period of 61 days from the monthly anniversary day will be allowed for the payment of sufficient Premium to satisfy the minimum Premium requirement.  If sufficient Premium is not paid by the end of the Grace Period, the policy will Lapse without value.  In any event, the policy will not Lapse as long as there is a positive Cash Surrender Value.

Beginning with the fourth policy year, if the Cash Surrender Value on a monthly anniversary day is not sufficient to cover the current policy charges, a Grace Period of 61 days from the monthly anniversary day will be allowed for the payment of sufficient Premium to cover the current policy charges due, plus an amount equal to three times the current monthly deduction.

Reinstatement

You may reinstate a Lapsed policy by:

· submitting a written request at any time within three years after the end of the Grace Period and prior to the Maturity Date; and

· providing further evidence of insurability we may require that is satisfactory to us; and

· paying an amount of Premium equal to the minimum monthly Premiums missed since the beginning of the Grace Period, if the policy terminated in the first 3 policy years; or

· paying sufficient Premium to cover all policy charges that were due and unpaid during the Grace Period if the policy terminated in the fourth or later policy year; and

· paying sufficient Premium to keep the policy In Force for three months from the date of reinstatement; and

· paying or reinstating any Indebtedness against the policy which existed at the end of the Grace Period.

At the same time, you may also reinstate any Riders, but subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.

The effective date of a reinstated policy, including any Riders, will be the monthly anniversary date on or next following the date we approve the application for reinstatement.  If the policy is reinstated, the Cash Value on the date of reinstatement, will be set equal to the lesser of:

· the Cash Value at the end of the Grace Period; or

· the surrender charge for the year from the Policy Date in which the policy was reinstated.

We will then add any Premiums or loan repayments that you made to reinstate the policy.

The allocations to the Sub-Accounts in effect at the start of the Grace Period will be reinstated, unless you provide otherwise.

Taxes

The tax treatment of life insurance policies under the Code is complex and the tax treatment of your policy will depend on your particular circumstances.   Seek competent tax advice regarding the tax treatment of the policy given your situation.  The following discussion provides an overview of the Code’s provisions relating to certain common life insurance policy transactions.  It is not and cannot be comprehensive, and it cannot replace personalized advice provided by a competent tax professional.

Types of Taxes

Federal Income Tax.  Generally, the United States assesses a tax on income, which is broadly defined to include all items of income from whatever source, unless specifically excluded.  Certain expenditures can reduce income for tax purposes and correspondingly the amount of tax payable.  These expenditures are called deductions.  While there are many more income tax concepts under the Code, the concepts of "income" and "deduction" are the most fundamental to the federal income tax treatment that pertains to this policy.

Federal Transfer Tax.  In addition to the income tax, the United States also assesses a tax on some or all of the value of certain transfers of wealth made by gift while a person is living (the federal gift tax), and by bequest or otherwise at the time of a person’s death (the federal estate tax).

The federal gift tax is imposed on the value of the property (including cash) transferred by gift.  Each donor is allowed to exclude an amount (in 2007, up to $12,000 per recipient) from the value of present interest gifts.  In addition, each donor is allowed a credit against the tax on the first million dollars in lifetime gifts (calculated after taking into account the $12,000 exclusion amount).  An unlimited marital deduction may be available for certain lifetime gifts made by the donor to the donor's spouse.  Unlike the estate tax, the gift tax is not scheduled to be repealed.

In general, in 2007, an estate of less than $2,000,000 (inclusive of certain pre-death gifts) will not incur a federal estate tax liability.  The $2 million amount increases to $3.5 million in 2009.  The federal estate tax (but not the federal gift tax) is

33

scheduled to be repealed effective after 2009; however, unless Congress acts to make that repeal permanent, the estate tax is scheduled to be reinstated with respect to decedents who die after December 31, 2010.  If the estate tax is reinstated and Congress has not acted further, the size of estates that will not incur an estate tax will revert to $1 million.

An unlimited marital deduction may be available for federal estate tax purposes for certain amounts that pass to the surviving spouse.

If the transfer is made to someone two or more generations younger than the transferor, the transfer may be subject to the federal generation-skipping transfer tax ("GSTT").  The GSTT provisions generally apply to the same transfers that are subject to estate or gift taxes.  The tax is imposed at a flat rate equal to the maximum estate tax rate (for 2007, 45%), and there is a provision for an aggregate $1 million exemption.  The GSTT tax is scheduled to be repealed effective after 2009; however, unless Congress acts to make that repeal permanent, the GSTT tax is scheduled to be reinstated on January 1, 2011 at a rate of 55%.

State and Local Taxes.  State and local estate, inheritance, income and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy Proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary.  While these taxes may or may not be substantial in your case, state by state differences of these taxes preclude a useful description of them in this prospectus.

Buying the Policy

Federal Income Tax.  Generally, the Code treats life insurance Premiums as a personal expense.  This means that under the general rule you cannot deduct from your taxable income the Premiums paid to purchase the policy.

Federal Transfer Tax.  Generally, the Code treats the payment of Premiums on a life insurance policy as a gift when the Premium payment benefits someone else (such as when premium payments are paid by someone other than the policy owner).  Gifts are not generally included in the recipient’s taxable income.  If you (whether or not you are the Insured) transfer ownership of the policy to another person, the transfer may be subject to a federal gift tax.

Investment Gain in the Policy

The income tax treatment of changes in the policy’s Cash Value depends on whether the policy is "life insurance" under the Code.  If the policy meets the definition of life insurance, then the increase in the policy’s Cash Value is not included in your taxable income for federal income tax purposes unless it is distributed to you before the death of the Insured.

To qualify as life insurance, the policy must meet certain tests set out in Section 7702 of the Code.  We will monitor the Policy’s compliance with Code Section 7702, and take whatever steps are necessary to stay in compliance.

Diversification.  In addition to meeting the tests required under Section 7702, Section 817(h) of the Code requires that the investments of the separate account be adequately diversified.  Regulations under Code Section 817(h) provide that a variable life policy that fails to satisfy the diversification standards will not be treated as life insurance unless such failure was inadvertent, is corrected, and the policy owner or the issuer pays an amount to the IRS.  If the failure to diversify is not corrected, the income and gain in the contract would be treated as taxable ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

We will also monitor compliance with Code Section 817(h) and the regulations applicable to Section 817(h) and, to the extent necessary, will change the objectives or assets of the Sub-Account investments to remain in compliance.  Thus, the policy should receive federal income tax treatment as life insurance.

Representatives of the IRS have informally suggested, from time to time, that the number of underlying mutual funds available or the number of transfer opportunities available under a variable product may be relevant in determining whether the product qualifies for the desired tax treatment.  In 2003, the IRS issued formal guidance, in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, that indicates that if the number of underlying mutual funds available in a variable insurance product does not exceed 20, the number of funds alone would not cause the policy to not qualify for the desired tax treatment.  The IRS has also indicated that exceeding 20 investment options may be considered a factor, along with other factors including the number of transfer opportunities available under the policy, when determining whether the policy qualifies for the desired tax treatment.  The revenue ruling did not indicate the number of fund options, if any, that would cause the policy to not provide the desired tax treatment.  Should the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury issue additional rules or regulations limiting: the number of underlying mutual funds, transfers between underlying mutual funds, exchanges of underlying mutual funds or changes in the investment objectives of underlying mutual funds such that the policy would no longer qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code, we will take whatever steps are available to remain in compliance.

Periodic Withdrawals, Non-Periodic Withdrawals and Loans

The tax treatment described in this section applies to withdrawals and loans you choose to take from the policy.  It also applies to Premiums we accept but then return to meet the Code's definition of life insurance.

The income tax treatment of distributions of cash from the policy depends on whether the policy is also a "modified endowment contract" under the Code. Generally, the income tax consequences of owning a life insurance contract that is not

34

a modified endowment contract are more advantageous than the tax consequences of owning a life insurance contract that is a modified endowment contract.

The policies offered by this prospectus may or may not be issued as modified endowment contracts.  If a contract is issued as a modified endowment contract, it will always be a modified endowment contract; a contract that is not issued as a modified endowment contract can become a modified endowment contract due to subsequent transactions with respect to the contract, such as payment of additional Premiums.  If the contract is not issued as a modified endowment contract, we will monitor it and advise you if  the payment of a Premium, or other transaction, may cause the contract to become a modified endowment contract.

When the Policy is Life Insurance that is a Modified Endowment Contract.  Section 7702A of the Code defines modified endowment contracts as those life insurance policies issued or materially changed on or after June 21, 1988 on which the total Premiums paid during the first seven years exceed the amount that would have been paid if the policy provided for paid up benefits after seven level annual Premiums.  Under certain conditions, a policy may become a modified endowment contract, or may become subject to a new 7 year testing period as a result of a "material change" or a "reduction in benefits" as defined by Section 7702A(c) of the Code.

All modified endowment contracts issued to the same owner by the same company during a single calendar year are required to be aggregated and treated as a single contract for purposes of determining the amount that is includible in income when a distribution occurs.

The Code provides special rules for the taxation of surrenders, partial surrenders, loans, collateral assignments and other pre-death distributions from modified endowment contracts.  Under these special rules, such transactions are taxable to the extent that at the time of the transaction the Cash Value of the policy exceeds the investment in the contract (generally, the Premiums paid for the policy).  In addition, a 10% tax penalty generally applies to the taxable portion of such distributions unless the policy owner is over age 59½ or disabled, or the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments as defined in the Code.

When the Policy is Life Insurance that is NOT a Modified Endowment Contract.  If the policy is not issued as a modified endowment contract, we will monitor Premiums paid and will notify the policy owner when the policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract.  If a policy is not a modified endowment contract, a cash distribution during the first 15 years after a policy is issued which causes a reduction in Death Benefits may still become fully or partially taxable to the policy owner pursuant to Section 7702(f)(7) of the Code.  You should carefully consider this potential tax ramification and seek further information before requesting any changes in the terms of the policy.

Distributions from life insurance contracts that are not modified endowment contracts generally are treated as being from the investment in the contract (generally, the Premiums paid for the contract), and then from the income in the contract.  Because Premium payments are generally nondeductible, distributions not in excess of investment in the contract are generally not includible in income; instead, they reduce the owner’s investment in the contract.

However, if a policy is not a modified endowment contract, a cash distribution during the first 15 years after a policy is issued that causes a reduction in Death Benefits may still become fully or partially taxable to the policy owner pursuant to Section 7702(f)(7) of the Code.  You should carefully consider this potential tax ramification and seek further information before requesting any changes in the terms of the policy.

In addition, a loan from a life insurance contract that is not a modified endowment contract is not taxable when made, although it can be treated as a distribution if it is forgiven during the owner’s lifetime.  Distributions from contracts that are not modified endowment contracts are not subject to the 10% early distribution penalty tax.

Surrendering the Policy

A full surrender, cancellation of the policy by Lapse, or the maturity of the policy on its Maturity Date may have adverse tax consequences.  If the amount you receive plus total policy Indebtedness exceeds the investment in the contract (generally, the Premiums paid into the policy), then the excess generally will be treated as taxable ordinary income, regardless of whether or not the policy is a modified endowment contract.  In certain circumstances, for example when the policy Indebtedness is very large, the amount of tax could exceed the amount distributed to you at surrender.

Withholding

Distributions of income from a life insurance policy, including a life insurance policy that is a modified endowment contract, are subject to federal income tax withholding.  Generally, the recipient may elect not to have the withholding taken from the distribution.  We will withhold income tax unless you advise us, in writing, of your request not to withhold.  If you request that taxes not be withheld, or if the taxes withheld are insufficient, you may be liable for payment of an estimated tax.

A distribution of income from a life insurance policy may be subject to mandatory back-up withholding.  Mandatory backup withholding means that we are required to withhold taxes on a distribution, at the rate established by Section 3406 of the

35

Code, and the recipient cannot elect to receive the entire distribution at once.  Mandatory backup withholding may arise if we have not been provided a taxpayer identification number, or if the IRS notifies us that back-up withholding is required.

In certain employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements, participants may be required to report for income tax purposes, one or more of the following:

· the value each year of the life insurance protection provided;

· an amount equal to any employer-paid Premiums; or

· some or all of the amount by which the current value exceeds the employer’s interest in the policy; or

· interest that is deemed to have been forgiven on a loan that we deemed to have been made by the employer.

Participants in an employer-sponsored plan relating to this policy should consult with the sponsor or the administrator of the plan, and/or with their personal tax or legal adviser, to determine the tax consequences, if any, of their employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements.

Exchanging the Policy for Another Life Insurance Policy

Generally, you will pay taxes on amounts that you receive in excess of your Premium payments when you completely surrender the policy.  If, however, you exchange the policy for another life insurance policy, modified endowment contract, or annuity contract, you will not be taxed on the excess amount if the exchange meets the requirements of Code Section 1035.  To meet Section 1035 requirements, the Insured named in the policy must be the Insured for the new policy or contract and the new policy or contract cannot extend the Maturity Date or otherwise delay a distribution that would extend the time that tax would be payable.  Generally, the new policy or contract will be treated as having the same issue date and tax basis as the old policy or contract.

If the policy or contract is subject to a policy Indebtedness that is discharged as part of the exchange transaction, the discharge of the Indebtedness may be taxable.  Owners should consult with their personal tax or legal advisors in structuring any policy exchange transaction.

Taxation of Death Benefits

Federal Income Tax.  The Death Benefit is generally excludable from the beneficiary's gross income under Section 101 of the Code.  However, if the policy is transferred to a new policy owner for valuable consideration, a portion of the Death Benefit may be includible in the beneficiary’s gross income when it is paid.

The payout option selected by your beneficiary may affect how the payments received by the beneficiary are taxed.  Under the various payout options, the amount payable to the beneficiary may include earnings on the Death Benefit, which will be taxable as ordinary income.  For example, if the beneficiary elects to receive interest only, then the entire amount of the interest payment will be taxable to the beneficiary; if a periodic payment (whether for a fixed period or for life) is selected, then a portion of each payment will be taxable interest income, and a portion will be treated as the nontaxable payment of the Death Benefit.  Your beneficiaries should consult with their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of electing a payout option, based on their individual circumstances.

Special federal income tax considerations for life insurance policies owned by employers.   In 2006, President Bush signed the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which contains new Code Sections 101(j) and 6039I, which affect the tax treatment of life insurance contracts owned by the employer of the Insured.  These provisions are generally effective for life insurance contracts issued after August 17, 2006,  If a life insurance policy was issued on or before August 17, 2006, but materially modified after that date, it will be treated as having been issued after  that date for purposes of section 101(j).  Contracts issued after August 17, 2006 pursuant to a Section 1035 exchange generally are excluded from the operation of these new provisions, provided that the contract received in the exchange does not have a material increase in death benefit or other material change with respect to the old contract.

New Section 101(j) provides the general rule that, with respect to an employer-owned life insurance contract, the amount of death benefit payable directly or indirectly to the employer that may be excluded from income cannot exceed the sum of Premiums and other payments paid by the policyholder for the contract.  Consequently, under this general rule, the entire death benefit, less the cost to the policyholder, will be taxable.  Although Section 101(j) is not clear, if lifetime distributions from the contract are made as a nontaxable return of premium, it appears that the reduction would apply for Section 101(j) purposes and reduce the amount of Premiums for this purpose.

There are 2 exceptions to this general rule of taxability, provided that statutory notice, consent, and information requirements are satisfied.  These requirements are as follows:  Prior to the issuance of the company, (a) the employee is notified in writing that the employer intends to insure the employee's life, and the maximum face amount for which the employee could be Insured at the time that the contract is issued; (b) the employee provides written consent to being insured under the contract and that such coverage may continue after the Insured terminates employment; and (c) the employee is informed in writing

36

that the employer will be a beneficiary of any proceeds payable upon the death of the employee.  If the employer fails to meet all of those requirements, then neither exception can apply.

The 2 exceptions are as follows.  First, if proper notice and consent are given and received, and if the Insured was an employee at any time during the 12-month period before the Insured’s death, then new Section 101(j) would not apply.

Second, if proper notice and consent are given and received and, at the time that the contract is issued, and the Insured is either a director, a “highly compensated employee” (within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code without regard to paragraph (a)(B)(ii) thereof), or a “highly compensated individual” (within the meaning of Section 105(h)(5), except “35%” is substituted for “25%” in paragraph (C) thereof), then the new Section 101(j) would not apply.

Code Section 6039I requires any policyholder of an employer-owned contract to file an annual return showing (a) the number of employees of the policyholder, (b) the number of such employees insured under employee-owned contracts at the end of the year, (c) the total amount of insurance in force with respect to those contracts at the end of the year, (d) the name, address, taxpayer identification number and type of business of the policyholder, and (e) that the policyholder has a valid consent for each Insured (or, if all consents are not obtained, the number of insured employees for whom such consent was not obtained).  Proper recordkeeping is also required by this section.

It is your responsibility to (a) provide the proper notice to each Insured, (b) obtain the proper consent from each Insured, (c) inform each Insured in writing that you will be the beneficiary of any proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured, and (d) file the annual return required by Section 6039I.  If you fail to provide the necessary notice and information, or fail to obtain the necessary consent, the death benefit will be taxable to you when received.  If you fail to file a properly completed return under Section 6039I, you could be required to pay a penalty.

Federal Transfer Taxes.  When the Insured dies, the Death Benefit will generally be included in the Insured's federal gross estate if: (1) the Proceeds were payable to or for the benefit of the Insured's estate; or (2) the Insured held any "incident of ownership" in the policy at death or at any time within 3 years of death.  An incident of ownership, in general, is any right that may be exercised by the policy owner, such as the right to borrow on the policy or the right to name a new beneficiary.

If the beneficiary is two or more generations younger than the Insured, the Death Benefit may be subject to the GSTT.  Pursuant to regulations issued by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, we may be required to withhold a portion of the Proceeds and pay them directly to the IRS as the GSTT tax payment.

If the policy owner is not the Insured or a beneficiary, payment of the Death Benefit to the beneficiary will be treated as a gift to the beneficiary from the policy owner.

Terminal Illness

Certain distributions made under a policy on the life of a “terminally ill individual” or a “chronically ill individual,” as those terms are defined in the Code, are treated as death proceeds.  See, “Taxation of Death Benefits,” above.

Special Considerations for Corporations

Section 264 of the Code imposes a number of limitations on the interest and other business deductions that may otherwise be available to businesses that own life insurance policies.  In addition, the Premium paid by a business for a life insurance policy is not deductible as a business expense or otherwise if the business is directly or indirectly a beneficiary of the policy.

For purposes of the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") that may be imposed on corporations, the death benefit from a life insurance policy, even though excluded from gross income for normal tax purposes, is included in "adjusted current earnings" for AMT purposes.  In addition, although increases to the Cash Surrender Value of a life insurance policy are generally excluded from gross income for normal income tax purposes, such increases are included in adjusted current earnings for income tax purposes.

Due to the complexity of these rules, and because they are affected by your facts and circumstances, you should consult with legal and tax counsel and other competent advisers regarding these matters.

Federal appellate and trial courts have examined the economic substance of transactions involving life insurance policies owned by corporations.  These cases involved relatively large loans against the policy’s Cash Value as well as tax deductions for the interest paid on the policy loans by the corporate policy owner to the insurance company.  Under the particular factual circumstances in these cases, the courts determined that the corporate policy owners should not have taken tax deductions for the interest paid.  Accordingly, the court determined that the corporations should have paid taxes on the amounts deducted.  Corporations should consider, in consultation with tax professionals familiar with these matters, the impact of these decisions on the corporation’s intended use of the policy.

See, also, Business Uses of the Policy, below.

Taxes and the Value of Your Policy

For federal income tax purposes, a separate account is not a separate entity from the company.  Thus, the tax status of the separate account is not distinct from our status as a life insurance company.  Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the separate account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of Accumulation Units.  As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the policies.

At present, we do not expect to incur any federal income tax liability that would be chargeable to the Accumulation Units.  Based upon these expectations, no charge is being made against your Accumulation Units for federal income taxes.  If, however, we determine that taxes may be incurred, we reserve the right to assess a charge for these taxes.

We may also incur state and local taxes (in addition to those described in the discussion of the Premium Taxes) in several states.  At present, these taxes are not significant.  If they increase, however, charges for such taxes may be made that would decrease the value of your Accumulation Units.

Business Uses of the Policy.

The life insurance policy may be used in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans, and others.  The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement.  The IRS has also recently issued new guidance on split dollar insurance plans.  In addition, Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, which sets forth new rules for taxation of nonqualified deferred compensation, was added to the Code for deferrals after December 31, 2004.  Therefore, if you are contemplating using the Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a tax adviser as to tax attributes of the arrangement.

Non-Resident Aliens and Other Persons Who are not Citizens of the United States

Special income tax laws and rules apply to non-resident aliens of the United States including certain withholding requirements with respect to pre-death distributions from the policy.  In addition, foreign law may impose additional taxes on the policy, the Death Benefit, or other distributions and/or ownership of the policy.

In addition, special gift, estate and GSTT laws and rules may apply to non-resident aliens, and to transfers to persons who are not citizens of the United States, including limitations on the marital deduction if the surviving or donee spouse is not a citizen of the United States.

If you are a non-resident alien, or a resident alien, or if any of your beneficiaries (including your spouse) are not citizens of the United States, you should confer with a competent tax professional with respect to the tax treatment of this policy.

If you, the Insured, the beneficiary, or other person receiving any benefit or interest in or from the policy, are not both a resident and citizen of the United States, there may be a tax imposed by a foreign country that is in addition to any tax imposed by the United States.  The foreign law (including regulations, rulings, treaties with the United States, and case law) may change and impose additional or increased taxes on the policy, payment of the Death Benefit, or other distributions and/or ownership of the policy.

Tax Changes

The foregoing discussion, which is based on our understanding of federal tax laws as currently interpreted by the IRS, is general and is not intended as tax advice.

The Code has been subjected to numerous amendments and changes, and it is reasonable to believe that it will continue to be revised.  The United States Congress has, in the past, considered numerous legislative proposals that, if enacted, could change the tax treatment of life insurance policies.  It is reasonable to believe that such proposals, and future proposals, may be enacted into law.  The U.S. Treasury Department may amend existing regulations, issue new regulations, or adopt new interpretations of existing law that may differ from its current positions on these matters.  In addition, current state law (which is not discussed herein) and future amendments to state law may affect the tax consequences of the policy.

In 2001, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) was enacted into law.  EGTRRA contained numerous changes to the federal income, gift, estate and generation skipping transfer taxes, many of which are not scheduled to become effective until a future date.  Among other matters, EGTRRA provides for the repeal of the federal estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes after 2009; however, unless Congress and the President enact additional legislation, EGTRRA also provides that all of those changes will "sunset" after 2010, and the estate and generation skipping transfer taxes will be reinstated as if EGTRRA had never been enacted.

The foregoing is a general explanation as to certain tax matters pertaining to insurance policies.  It is not intended to be legal or tax advice.  You should consult your independent legal, tax and/or financial adviser.

38

Any or all of the foregoing may change from time to time without any notice, and the tax consequences arising out of a policy may be changed retroactively.  There is no way of predicting if, when, or to what extent any such change may take place.  We make no representation as to the likelihood of the continuation of these current laws, interpretations, and policies.

Nationwide Life Insurance Company

We are a stock life insurance company organized under Ohio law.  We were founded in March, 1929 and our Home Office is One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215.  We provide long-term savings products by issuing life insurance, annuities and other retirement products.

Nationwide VLI Separate Account–2

Organization, Registration And Operation

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 is a separate account established under Ohio law.  We own the assets in this account, and we are obligated to pay all benefits under the policies.  We may use the account to support other variable life insurance policies we issue.  It is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and qualifies as a "separate account" within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  This registration, however, does not involve the SEC’s supervision of this account’s management or investment practice or policies.

It is divided into Sub-Accounts that may invest in shares of the available Sub-Account portfolios.  We buy and sell the Sub-Account portfolio shares at NAV.  Any dividends and distributions from a Sub-Account portfolio are reinvested at NAV in shares of that Sub-Account portfolio.

Income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from the assets in the account will be credited to, or charged against, the account without regard to our other income, gains, or losses.  Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, a Sub-Account reflect the Sub-Account’s own Investment Experience and not the Investment Experience of our other assets.  Its assets are held separately from our other assets and are not part of our general account.  We may not use the separate account’s assets to pay any of our liabilities other than those arising from the policies.  The separate account may include other Sub-Accounts that are not available under the policies, and are not discussed in this prospectus.

If investment in the mutual funds or a particular portfolio is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for the purposes of the policy, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute another mutual fund or portfolio subject to federal rules and regulations.  The substituted mutual fund or portfolio may have different fees and expenses.  Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investments of future Premium, or both.  We will comply with federal securities laws to effect a substitution.  We may close Sub-Accounts to allocations of Premiums or policy value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion.  We may close Sub-Accounts to allocations of Premiums or policy value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion.  The mutual funds, which sell their shares to the Sub-Accounts pursuant to participation agreements, also may terminate these agreements and discontinue offering their shares to the Sub-Accounts.

In addition, we reserve the right to make other structural and operational changes affecting this separate account.

We do not guarantee any money you place in this separate account.  The value of each Sub-Account will increase or decrease, depending on the investment performance of the corresponding portfolio.  You could lose some or all of your money.

Addition, Deletion Or Substitution Of Mutual Funds

Where permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to:

· remove, combine, or add Sub-Accounts and make new Sub-Accounts available;

· substitute shares of another mutual fund, which may have different fees and expenses, for shares of an existing mutual fund;

· transfer assets supporting the policies from one Sub-Account to another or from one separate account to another;

· combine the separate account with other separate accounts, and/or create new separate accounts;

· deregister the separate account under the 1940 Act, or operate the separate account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act, or as any other form permitted by the law; and

· modify the policy provisions to reflect changes in the Sub-Accounts and the separate account to comply with applicable law.

39

The portfolios that sell their shares to the sub-accounts pursuant to participation agreements also may terminate these agreements and discontinue offering their shares to the sub-accounts.  We will not make any such changes without receiving necessary approval(s) of the SEC and applicable state insurance departments.  We will notify you of any changes.

Voting Rights

Unless there is a change in existing law, we will vote our shares only as you instruct on all matters submitted to shareholders of the portfolios.

Before a vote of a portfolio’s shareholders occurs, you will have the right to instruct us based on the number of portfolio shares that corresponds to the amount of policy account value you have in the portfolio (as of a date set by the portfolio).  We will vote shares for which no instructions are received in the same proportion as those that are received.  What this means to you is that when only a small number of policy owners vote, each vote has a greater impact on, and may control the outcome of the vote.

The number of shares which a policy owner may vote is determined by dividing the Cash Value of the amount they have allocated to an underlying mutual fund by the NAV of that underlying mutual fund.  We will designate a date for this determination not more than 90 days before the shareholder meeting.

Legal Proceedings

Nationwide Life Insurance Company

Nationwide is a party to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. It is often not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of the pending investigations and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses with any degree of certainty. Some matters, including certain of those referred to below, are in very preliminary stages, and Nationwide does not have sufficient information to make an assessment of the plaintiffs’ claims for liability or damages. In some of the cases seeking to be certified as class actions, the court has not yet decided whether a class will be certified or (in the event of certification) the size of the class and class period. In many of the cases, the plaintiffs are seeking undefined amounts of damages or other relief, including punitive damages and equitable remedies, which are difficult to quantify and cannot be defined based on the information currently available. Nationwide does not believe, based on information currently known by management, that the outcomes of such pending investigations and legal proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on Nationwide’s consolidated financial position. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on Nationwide’s consolidated financial results in a particular quarterly or annual period.

In recent years, life insurance companies have been named as defendants in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits relating to life insurance and annuity pricing and sales practices. A number of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial jury awards or settlements against life insurers other than Nationwide.

The financial services industry, including mutual fund, variable annuity, life insurance and distribution companies, has also been the subject of increasing scrutiny by regulators, legislators and the media over the past few years. Numerous regulatory agencies, including the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York State Attorney General, have commenced industry-wide investigations regarding late trading and market timing in connection with mutual funds and variable insurance contracts, and have commenced enforcement actions against some mutual fund and life insurance companies on those issues. Nationwide has been contacted by or received subpoenas from the SEC and the New York State Attorney General, who are investigating market timing in certain mutual funds offered in insurance products sponsored by Nationwide. Nationwide has cooperated with these investigations. Information requests from the New York State Attorney General and the SEC with respect to investigations into late trading and market timing were last responded to by Nationwide and its affiliates in December 2003 and June 2005, respectively, and no further information requests have been received with respect to these matters.

In addition, state and federal regulators have commenced investigations or other proceedings relating to compensation and bidding arrangements and possible anti-competitive activities between insurance producers and brokers and issuers of insurance products, and unsuitable sales and replacements by producers on behalf of the issuer. Also under investigation are compensation and revenue sharing arrangements between the issuers of variable insurance contracts and mutual funds or their affiliates, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, funding agreements issued to back MTN programs, recordkeeping and retention compliance by broker/dealers, and supervision of former registered representatives. Related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future. Nationwide and/or its affiliates have been contacted by or received subpoenas from state and federal regulatory agencies, state securities law regulators and state attorneys general for information relating to certain of these investigations, including those relating to compensation, revenue sharing and bidding arrangements, anti-competitive activities, unsuitable sales or replacement practices, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, and funding agreements backing the Nationwide’s MTN program. Nationwide is cooperating with regulators in connection with these inquiries and will cooperate with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (NMIC) in responding to these inquiries to the extent that any inquiries encompass NMIC’s operations.

These proceedings are expected to continue in the future and could result in legal precedents and new industry-wide legislation, rules and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including life insurance and annuity companies. These proceedings also could affect the outcome of one or more of Nationwide’s litigation matters. There can be no assurance that any such litigation or regulatory actions will not have a material adverse effect on Nationwide in the future.

On November 15, 2006, Nationwide was named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio entitled Kevin Beary, Sheriff of Orange County, Florida, In His Official Capacity, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Nationwide Life Insurance Co., Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. and Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in the United States that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants at any time during the class period, or in the alternative, all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in Florida that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants during the class period. The Class Period is from January 1, 1996 until the Class Notice is provided. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by arranging for and retaining service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks an accounting, a declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction and disgorgement or restitution of the service fee payments allegedly received by the defendants, including interest. On January 25, 2007, Nationwide filed a motion to dismiss.  Nationwide intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On February 11, 2005, Nationwide was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court, Franklin County, Ohio entitled Michael Carr v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. The complaint seeks recovery for breach of contract, fraud by omission, violation of the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act and unjust enrichment. The complaint also seeks unspecified compensatory damages, disgorgement of all amounts in excess of the guaranteed maximum premium and attorneys’ fees. On February 2, 2006, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification on the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims. The Court certified a class consisting of all residents of the United States and the Virgin Islands who, during the Class Period, paid premiums on a modal basis to Nationwide for term life insurance policies issued by Nationwide during the Class Period that provide for guaranteed maximum premiums, excluding certain specified products. Excluded from the class are Nationwide; any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Nationwide; all employees, officers and directors of Nationwide; and any justice, judge or magistrate judge of the State of Ohio who may hear the case. The Class Period is from February 10, 1990 through February 2, 2006, the date the class was certified. On January 26, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On April 13, 2004, Nationwide was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Circuit Court, Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, entitled Woodbury v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. Nationwide removed this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on June 1, 2004. On December 27, 2004, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland and included in the multi-district proceeding entitled In Re Mutual Funds Investment Litigation. In response, on May 13, 2005, the plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint purporting to represent, with certain exceptions, a class of all persons who held (through their ownership of a Nationwide annuity or insurance product) units of any Nationwide sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing or stale price trading activity. The First Amended Complaint purports to disclaim, with respect to market timing or stale price trading in Nationwide’s annuities sub-accounts, any allegation based on Nationwide’s untrue statement, failure to disclose any material fact, or usage of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in connection with any class member’s purchases or sales of Nationwide annuities or units in annuities sub-accounts. The plaintiff claims, in the alternative, that if Nationwide is found with respect to market timing or stale price trading in its annuities sub-accounts, to have made any untrue statement, to have failed to disclose any material fact or to have used or employed any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, then the plaintiff purports to represent a class, with certain exceptions, of all persons who, prior to Nationwide’s untrue statement, omission of material fact, use or employment of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, held (through their ownership of an Nationwide annuity or insurance product) units of any Nationwide sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing activity. The First Amended Complaint alleges common law negligence and seeks to recover damages not to exceed $75,000 per plaintiff or class member, including all compensatory damages and costs. On June 1, 2006, the District Court granted Nationwide’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint. On November 29, 2006, the plaintiff filed its appellate brief with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals contesting the District Court’s dismissal. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On January 21, 2004, Nationwide was named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi entitled United Investors Life Insurance Company v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Company of America and/or Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and/or Nationwide Financial Corporation, and John Does A-Z. In its complaint, the plaintiff alleges that Nationwide and/or its affiliated life insurance companies caused the replacement of variable insurance policies and other financial products issued by United Investors with policies issued by the Companies. The plaintiff raises claims for (1) violations of the Federal Lanham Act, and common law unfair competition and defamation; (2) tortious interference with the plaintiff’s contractual relationship with Waddell & Reed, Inc. and/or its affiliates, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc. and W&R Insurance Agency, Inc., or with the plaintiff’s contractual relationships with its variable policyholders; (3) civil conspiracy; and (4) breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint

41

seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, a full accounting, a constructive trust and costs and disbursements, including attorneys’ fees. On December 30, 2005,Nationwide filed a motion for summary judgment. On June 15, 2006, the District Court granted Nationwide’s motion for summary judgment on all grounds and dismissed the plaintiff’s entire case with prejudice. The plaintiff appealed the District Court’s decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal has been fully briefed, and Nationwide is awaiting a decision. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On August 15, 2001, Nationwide was named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut entitled Lou Haddock, as trustee of the Flyte Tool & Die, Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, et al v. Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and Nationwide Life Insurance Company. Currently, the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint, filed March 21, 2006, purports to represent a class of qualified retirement plans under ERISA that purchased variable annuities from Nationwide. The plaintiffs allege that they invested ERISA plan assets in their variable annuity contracts and that Nationwide breached ERISA fiduciary duties by allegedly accepting service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks disgorgement of some or all of the payments allegedly received by Nationwide, other unspecified relief for restitution, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. To date, the District Court has rejected the plaintiffs’ request for certification of the alleged class. Nationwide’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint is currently pending before the court. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

Appendix C: Illustrations of Surrender Charges

Example 1.  A female non-tobacco user, age 45, purchases a policy with a Specified Amount of $50,000 and a scheduled Premium of $750.  She now wishes to surrender the policy during the first policy year.  By using the “Initial Surrender Charge” table reproduced below (also see "Surrender Charges"), the total surrender charge per thousand, multiplied by the Specified Amount expressed in thousands, equals the total surrender charge of $569.80 ($11.396 x 50=569.80).

Example 2.  A male non-tobacco user, age 35, purchases a policy with a Specified Amount of $100,000 and a scheduled Premium of $1,100.  He now wants to surrender the policy in the sixth policy year.  The total initial surrender charge is calculated using the method illustrated above.  (Surrender charge per 1,000=6.817 x 100 for a total of $681.70 maximum initial surrender charge).  Because the fifth policy year has been completed, the maximum initial surrender charge is reduced by multiplying it by the applicable percentage factor from the "Reductions to Surrender Charges" table below.  (Also see "Reductions to Surrender Charges").  In this case, $681.70 x 60%=$409.02, which is the amount we deduct as a total surrender charge.

The following tables illustrate the maximum initial surrender charge per $1,000 of initial Specified Amount for policies that are issued on a standard basis:

Initial Specified Amount $50,000-$99,999

Issue	Male	Female	Male	Female

Underwriting Procedure

We underwrite the policies issued through Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2.  The policy's cost of insurance depends upon the Insured's sex, issue age, risk class, and length of time the policy has been In Force.  The rates will vary depending upon tobacco use and other risk factors.  Monthly cost of insurance rates will not exceed those guaranteed in the policy.  Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for policies issued on Specified Amounts less than $100,000 are based on the 1980 Commissioners’ Extended Term Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday (1980 CET).  Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for policies issued on Specified Amounts $100,000 or more are based on the 1980 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday (1980 CSO).  For policies issued in Texas on a standard basis (“Special Class – Standard” in Texas), guaranteed cost of insurance rates for Specified Amounts less than $100,000 are based on 130% of the 1980 CSO.  Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for policies issued on a substandard basis are based on appropriate percentage multiples of the standard guaranteed cost of insurance rate on a standard basis.  That is, standard guaranteed cost of insurance rates for substandard risks are guaranteed cost of insurance rates for standard risks times a percentage greater than 100%.  These mortality tables are sex distinct.  In addition, separate mortality tables will be used for tobacco and non-tobacco.  We may deduct a "flat extra" which is an additional constant charge per $1,000 of Specified Amount for certain activities or medical conditions of the Insured.  We apply the same flat extra to all Insured that engage in the same activity or have the same medical condition irrespective of their sex, issue age, underwriting class, or substandard rating, if any.

The rate class of an insured may affect the cost of insurance rate.  We currently place insureds into both standard rate classes and substandard rate classes that involve a higher mortality risk.  In an otherwise identical policy, an insured in the standard rate class will have a lower cost of insurance than an insured in a rate class with higher mortality risks.  Any change in the cost of insurance rates will apply to all insureds of the same age, gender, risk class and whose policies have been in effect for the same length of time.  The cost of insurance rates, policy charges, and payment options for policies issued in some states or in connection with certain employee benefit arrangements may be issued on a gender-neutral (unisex) basis.  The unisex rates will be higher than those applicable to females and lower than those applicable to males.  If the rating class for any increase in the Specified Amount of insurance coverage is not the same as the rating class at issue, the cost of insurance rate used after such increase will be a composite rate based upon a weighted average of the rates of the different rating classes.  The actual charges made during the policy year will be shown in the annual report delivered to policy owners.

Maximum Surrender Charge and Maximum Surrender Charge Calculation

The surrender charge equals the underwriting component and 26.5% of the sales component.  The underwriting component is designed to cover the administrative expenses associated with underwriting and issuing policies and varies by issue age in the following manner:

Per $1,000 of Initial Specified Amount

Issue Age	Specified Amounts less than $100,000	Specified Amounts $100,000 or more
0-35	$6.00	$4.00
36-55	$7.50	$5.00
56-80	$7.50	$6.50

The sales expense component will not exceed 26 ½% of the lesser of the Guideline Level Premium required in the first year, or Premiums paid in the first policy year.  The sales component is designed to reimburse us for expenses incurred in the distribution of the policies.

The maximum surrender charge under the policy is based on the following calculation.

Maximum Surrender Charge                                                      26.50% multiplied by the lesser of (a) or (b),where:

(a) = the Specified Amount multiplied by the rate indicated on the chart "Surrender Target Factor" below divided by 1,000; and

(b) = Premiums paid by the policy owner during the first two policy years

Plus (c) multiplied by (d) where:

(c) = the Specified Amount divided by 1,000; and

(d) = the applicable rate from the "Administrative Target Factor" chart below.

The Surrender Target Factor allows the company to account for the probability that our costs incurred in the sales process will not be recouped.  The Administrative Target Factor allows the company to account for the probability (at various ages) that death will occur and no CDSC will be recouped.

Advertising

Rating Agencies

Independent financial rating services, including Moody's, Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best Company rank and rate us.  The purpose of these ratings is to reflect the financial strength or claims-paying ability of Nationwide.  The ratings are not intended to reflect the Investment Experience or financial strength of the variable account.  We may advertise these ratings from time to time.  In addition, we may include in certain advertisements, endorsements in the form of a list of organizations, individuals or other parties which recommend us or the policies.  Furthermore, we may occasionally include in advertisements comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets, or discussions of alternative investment vehicles and general economic conditions.

Money Market Yields

We may advertise the "yield" and "effective yield" for the money market sub-account.  Yield and effective yield are annualized, which means that it is assumed that the underlying mutual fund generates the same level of net income throughout a year.

Yield is a measure of the net dividend and interest income earned over a specific seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement) expressed as a percentage of the offering price of the underlying mutual fund’s units.  The effective yield is calculated similarly, but reflects assumed compounding, calculated under rules prescribed by the SEC.  Thus, effective yield will be slightly higher than yield, due to the compounding.

Historical Performance of the Sub-Accounts

We will advertise historical performance of the sub-accounts in accordance with SEC prescribed calculations.  Please note that performance information is annualized.  However, if a sub-account has been available in the variable account for less than one year, the performance information for that sub-account is not annualized.  Performance information is based on historical earnings and is not intended to predict or project future results.

Additional Materials

We may provide information on various topics to you and prospective policy owners in advertising, sales literature or other materials.

Tax Definition of Life Insurance

Section 7702(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that if one of two alternate tests is met, a policy will be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes.  The two tests are referred to as the Cash Value Accumulation Test and the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test.  Both tests are available to flexible premium policies such as this one.

The tables below show, numerically, the requirements for each test.

Cash Value Accumulation Test

The Cash Value Accumulation Test also requires the Death Benefit to exceed an applicable percentage of the cash value.  These applicable percentages are calculated by determining net single premiums, as defined in Code Section 7702(b), for each policy year given a set of actuarial assumptions.  The relevant material assumptions include an interest rate of 4% and 1980 CSO guaranteed mortality as prescribed in Revenue Code Section 7702 for the Cash Value Accumulation Test.  The resulting net single premiums are then inverted (i.e., multiplied by 1/net single premium) to give the applicable cash value percentages.  These premiums vary with the ages, sexes, and risk classifications of the Insureds.

The table below provides an example of applicable percentages for the Cash Value Accumulation Test.  This example is for a male non-tobacco preferred issue age 55.

State Regulation

Nationwide is subject to the laws of Ohio governing insurance companies and to regulation by the Ohio Insurance Department.  An annual statement in a prescribed form is filed with the Insurance Department each year covering the operation of Nationwide for the preceding year and its financial condition as of the end of such year.  Regulation by the Insurance Department includes periodic examination to determine Nationwide's contract liabilities and reserves so that the Insurance Department may certify the items are correct.  Nationwide's books and accounts are subject to review by the Insurance Department at all times and a full examination of its operations is conducted periodically by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.  Such regulation does not, however, involve any supervision of management or investment practices or policies.  In addition, Nationwide is subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which it may operate.

NATIONWIDE VLI SEPARATE ACCOUNT-2 (NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued)

At December 31, 2006, contract owners were invested in all of the above funds, except for those indicated with an asterisk(*). The contract owners’ equity is affected by the investment results of each fund, equity transactions by contract owners and certain contract expenses (see notes 2 and 3). The accompanying financial statements include only contract owners’ purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for fixed dollar benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.

A contract owner may choose from among a number of different underlying mutual fund options. The underlying mutual fund options are not available to the general public directly. The underlying mutual funds are available as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies or, in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.

Some of the underlying mutual funds have been established by investment advisers which manage publicly traded mutual funds having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the underlying mutual funds may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after, publicly traded mutual funds, the underlying mutual funds are not otherwise directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and any corresponding underlying mutual funds may differ substantially.

(c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investments in underlying mutual funds are valued on the closing net asset value per share at December 31, 2006 of such funds, which value their investment securities at fair value. Fund purchases and sales are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). The cost of investments sold is determined on a First in – First out basis, and dividends (which include capital gain distributions) are accrued as of the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in the underlying mutual funds.

(d) Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company does not provide for income taxes within the Account. Taxes are the responsibility of the contract owner upon termination or withdrawal.

(e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(f) New Accounting Pronouncement  

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 157. SFAS 157 also provides guidance regarding the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Accounts’ financial position or results of their operations upon adoption.

NATIONWIDE VLI SEPARATE ACCOUNT-2 (NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued)

(2) Policy Charges

(a) Deductions from Premiums

For single premium and modified single premium contracts, no deduction is made from any premium at the time of payment. On multiple payment contracts the Company deducts a charge for state premium taxes equal to 2.5% of all premiums received to cover the payment of these premium taxes. The Company also deducts a sales load from each premium payment received not to exceed 3.5% of each premium payment. For flexible premium contracts, the sales load is reduced to 1.5% on any portion of the annual premium paid in excess of the annual break point premium.

On last survivor flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a charge for state premium taxes equal to 3.5% of all premiums received to cover the payment of these premium taxes. The Company also deducts a sales load from each premium payment received not to exceed 5% of each premium payment during the first ten years and 1.5% of each premium payment thereafter.

The Company may at its sole discretion reduce this sales loading.

For the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, total front-end sales charge deductions were $3,219,241 and $3,591,203, respectively.

(b) Cost of Insurance

A cost of insurance charge is assessed monthly against each contract by liquidating units. The amount of the charge varies widely and is based upon age, sex, rate class and net amount at risk (death benefit less total contract value).

For last survivor flexible premium contracts, the monthly cost of insurance is determined in a manner that reflects the anticipated mortality of the two insureds and the fact that the death benefit is not payable until the death of the second insured policyholder.

(c) Administrative Charges

An administrative charge is assessed against each contract to recover policy maintenance, accounting, record keeping and other administrative expenses and is assessed against each contract by liquidating units.

For single premium contracts, the Company deducts an annual administrative charge which is determined as follows:

Contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990:

    Purchase payments totalling less than $25,000 – $10/month

    Purchase payments totalling $25,000 or more – none

Contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990:

    Purchase payments totalling less than $25,000 – $90/year ($65/year in New York)

    Purchase payments totalling $25,000 or more – $50/year

For multiple payment contracts, the Company currently deducts a monthly administrative charge of $5 (not to exceed $7.50 per month).

For flexible premium contracts, the Company currently deducts a monthly administrative charge of $12.50 during the first policy year. For all subsequent years, a monthly administrative charge is deducted (currently $5 per month not to exceed $7.50). Additionally, the Company deducts an increase charge when the policy’s specified amount is increased. The charge is equal $2.04 per year per $1,000 of the specified amount increase.

For modified single premium contracts, the monthly charge is equal to an annualized rate of 0.30% multiplied by the policy’s cash value to cover administrative, premium tax and deferred acquisition costs. For policy years 11 and later, this monthly charge is reduced to an annualized rate of 0.15% of the policy’s cash value. The monthly charge is subject to a $10 minimum.

(Continued)

NATIONWIDE VLI SEPARATE ACCOUNT-2 (NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued)

For last survivor flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a monthly administrative charge equal to the sum of the per policy charge and the per $1,000 basic coverage charge. For policy years one through ten the per policy charge is $10. Additionally, there is a $0.04 per $1,000 basic coverage charge (not less than $20 or more than $80 per policy per year). For policy years eleven and after, the per policy charge is $5. Additionally, there is a $0.02 per $1,000 basic coverage charge (not less than $10 or more than $40 per policy per year).

(d) Surrender Charges

Policy surrenders result in a withdrawal of contract value from the Account and payment of the surrender proceeds to the policy owner or designee. The surrender proceeds consist of the contract value, less any outstanding policy loans, and less a surrender charge, if applicable. The charge is determined according to contract type.

For single premium contracts, the charge is a percentage of the original purchase payment. For single premium contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, the charge is 8% in the first year and declines a specified amount each year. After the ninth year, the charge is 0%. For single premium contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990, the charge is 8.5% in the first year, and declines a specified amount each year. After the ninth year, the charge is 0%. However, if a policy’s specified amount increases, the amount of the increase will have a nine-year surrender charge period.

For multiple payment contracts, last survivor flexible premium contract and flexible premium contracts, the amount charged is based upon a specified percentage of the initial specified amount and varies by issue age, sex and rate class. The charge is reduced at certain time intervals, and declines a specified amount each year. After the ninth year for flexible premium contracts and after the tenth year for multiple payment and last survivor contracts, the charge is 0%. However, if a policy’s specified amount increases, the amount of the increase will have the same nine-year surrender charge period.

For modified single premium contracts, the amount charged is based on a percentage of the original premium payment. The charge is 10% of the initial premium payment and declines a specified amount each year to 0% after the end of the ninth year.

The Company may waive the surrender charge for certain contracts in which the sales expenses normally associated with the distribution of a contract are not incurred.

(3) Asset Charges

For single premium contracts, the Company deducts a mortality and expense risk charge from the contract to cover mortality and expense risk charges related to operations, and to recover policy maintenance and premium tax charges. For contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, the charge is equal to an annualized rate of 0.95% during the first ten policy years, and 0.50% thereafter. For single premium contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990, the charge is equal to an annualized rate of 1.30% during the first ten policy years, and 1.00% thereafter. The charge is assessed through the daily unit value calculation and is reflected in the table below.

For multiple payment contracts, the Company deducts a mortality and expense risk charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.80%. The charge is assessed through the daily unit value calculation and is reflected in the table below.

For modified single premium contracts (MSP), the Company deducts an annualized rate of 0.90% charged against the cash value in the Variable Account. This charge is assessed monthly against each contract by liquidating units.

For flexible premium contracts and last survivor flexible premium contracts (LSFP), the Company deducts an annualized rate of 0.80% in policy years one through ten. This charge is assessed monthly by liquidating units. In policy years eleven and after, the charge will continue to be deducted, but may be reduced for policies at specified asset levels.

(4) Death Benefits

Death benefit proceeds result in a redemption of the contract value from the Account and payment of those proceeds, less any outstanding policy loans (and policy charges), to the legal beneficiary. For last survivor flexible premium contracts, the proceeds are payable on the death of the last surviving insured. In the event that the guaranteed death benefit exceeds the contract value on the date of death, the excess is paid by the Company’s general account.

NATIONWIDE VLI SEPARATE ACCOUNT-2 (NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued)

(5) Policy Loans (Net of Repayments)

Contract provisions allow contract owners to borrow up to 90% (50% during first year of single and modified single premium contracts) of a policy’s cash surrender value. For single premium contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, 6.5% interest is due and payable annually in advance of the policy anniversary date. For single premium contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990, multiple payment, flexible premium, modified single and last survivor flexible premium contracts, 6% interest is due and payable in advance on the policy anniversary when there is a loan outstanding on the policy.

At the time the loan is granted, the amount of the loan is transferred from the Account to the Company’s general account as collateral for the outstanding loan. Collateral amounts in the general account are credited with the stated rate of interest in effect at the time the loan is made, subject to a guaranteed minimum rate. Loan repayments result in a transfer of collateral, including interest, back to the Account.

(6) Related Party Transactions

The Company performs various services on behalf of the Mutual Fund Companies in which the Account invests and may receive fees for the services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder communications, preparation, postage, fund transfer agency and various other record keeping and customer service functions. These fees are paid to an affiliate of the Company.

Contract owners may, with certain restrictions, transfer their assets between the Account and a fixed dollar contract (fixed account) maintained in the accounts of the Company. These transfers are the result of the contract owner executing fund exchanges. Fund exchanges from the Account to the fixed account are included in surrenders, and fund exchanges from the fixed account to the Account are included in purchase payments received from contact owners, as applicable, on the accompanying Statements of Change in Contract Owners’ Equity.

Policy loan transactions (note 5), executed at the direction of the contract owner, also result in transfers between the Account and the fixed account of the Company. The fixed account assets are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

For the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, total transfers into the Account from the fixed account were $25,634,866 and $24,517,955, respectively, and total transfers from the Account to the fixed account were $30,150,545 and $27,229,398, respectively.

*	This represents the annual contract expense rate of the variable account for the period indicated and includes only those expenses that are assessed through a reduction in the unit values. Excluded are expenses of the underlying mutual funds and charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units.
**	This represents the dividends for the period indicated, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by average net assets. The ratios exclude those expenses, if any, that result in direct reductions to the contractholder accounts either through reductions in unit values or redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
***	This represents the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund, which reflects the reduction of unit value for expenses assessed. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholder

Nationwide Life Insurance Company:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts, in 2004.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

(1) Nature of Operations  

Nationwide Life Insurance Company (NLIC, or collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) was incorporated in 1929 and is an Ohio stock legal reserve life insurance company. The Company is a member of the Nationwide group of companies (Nationwide), which is comprised of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (NMIC) and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

All of the outstanding shares of NLIC’s common stock are owned by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS), a holding company formed by Nationwide Corporation (Nationwide Corp.), a majority-owned subsidiary of NMIC.

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of NLIC as of December 31, 2006 include Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (NLAIC) and Nationwide Investment Services Corporation (NISC). NLAIC offers universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) and individual annuity contracts on a non-participating basis. NISC is a registered broker/dealer.

The Company is a leading provider of long-term savings and retirement products in the United States of America (U.S.). The Company develops and sells a diverse range of products including individual annuities, private and public sector group retirement plans, other investment products sold to institutions, life insurance and advisory services. The Company sells its products through a diverse distribution network. Unaffiliated entities that sell the Company’s products to their own customer bases include independent broker/dealers, financial institutions, wirehouse and regional firms, pension plan administrators, and life insurance specialists. Representatives of affiliates who market products directly to a customer base include Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. (NRS), Nationwide Financial Network (NFN) producers and TBG Insurance Services Corporation d/b/a TBG Financial (TBG Financial) through its joint venture with MC Insurance Agency Services, LLC d/b/a Mullin Consulting. The Company also distributes products through the NMIC agency distribution force.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have a significant concentration of financial instruments in a single investee, industry or geographic region of the U.S. Also, the Company did not have a concentration of business transactions with a particular customer, lender, distribution source, market or geographic region of the U.S. in which business is conducted that makes it overly vulnerable to a single event which could cause a severe impact to the Company’s financial position.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that materially affect financial reporting are summarized below. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company’s most significant estimates include those used to determine the following: the balance, recoverability and amortization of deferred policy acquisition (DAC) for investment and universal life insurance products; impairment losses on investments; valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate; the liability for future policy benefits and claims; and federal income tax provision. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, the recorded amounts reflect management’s best estimates based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet date. Management believes the amounts provided are appropriate.

(a) Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NLIC and companies in which NLIC directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. Minority interest expense is included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income, and minority interest is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

(b) Valuation of Investments, Investment Income and Related Gains and Losses

The Company is required to classify its fixed maturity securities and marketable equity securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. All fixed maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of adjustments to DAC, future policy benefits and claims, and deferred federal income taxes reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in shareholder’s equity. The adjustment to DAC represents the changes in amortization of DAC that would have been required as a charge or credit to operations had such unrealized amounts been realized and allocated to the product lines. The adjustment to future policy benefits and claims represents the increase in policy reserves from using a discount rate that would have been required had such unrealized amounts been realized and the proceeds reinvested at then current market interest rates, which were lower than the then current effective portfolio rate.

The fair value of fixed maturity and marketable equity securities is generally obtained from independent pricing services based on market quotations. For fixed maturity securities not priced by independent services (generally private placement securities and securities that do not trade regularly), an internally developed pricing model or “corporate pricing matrix” is most often used. The corporate pricing matrix is developed by obtaining spreads versus the U.S. Treasury yield for corporate securities with varying weighted average lives and bond ratings. The weighted average life and bond rating of a particular fixed maturity security to be priced using the corporate matrix are important inputs into the model and are used to determine a corresponding spread that is added to the U.S. Treasury yield to create an estimated market yield for that bond. The estimated market yield and other relevant factors are then used to estimate the fair value of the particular fixed maturity security. Additionally, for valuing certain fixed maturity securities with complex cash flows such as certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, a “structured product model” is used. The structured product model uses third party pricing tools. For securities for which quoted market prices are not available and for which the Company’s structured product model is not suitable for estimating fair values, fair values are determined using other modeling techniques, primarily a commercial software application utilized in valuing complex securitized investments with variable cash flows. As of December 31, 2006, 71% of the fair values of fixed maturity securities were obtained from independent pricing services, 20% from the Company’s pricing matrices and 9% from other sources compared to 72%, 20% and 8%, respectively, in 2005.

Management regularly reviews each investment in its fixed maturity and equity securities portfolios to evaluate the necessity of recording impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of investments.

Under the Company’s accounting policy for equity securities and debt securities that can be contractually prepaid or otherwise settled in a way that may limit the Company’s ability to fully recover cost, an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary unless the Company has both the ability and intent to hold the investment until the security’s forecasted recovery and evidence exists indicating that recovery will occur in a reasonable period of time. Also, for such debt securities management estimates cash flows over the life of purchased beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. If management estimates that the fair value of its beneficial interest is not greater than or equal to its carrying value based on current information and events, and if there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows since the last revised estimate (considering both timing and amount), then the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment and writes down the purchased beneficial interest to fair value.

For other debt securities, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is taken when the Company does not have the ability and intent to hold the security until the forecasted recovery or if it is no longer probable that the Company will recover all amounts due under the contractual terms of the security. Many criteria are considered during this process including, but not limited to, the current fair value as compared to cost or amortized cost, as appropriate, of the security; the amount and length of time a security’s fair value has been below cost or amortized cost; specific credit issues and financial prospects related to the issuer; management’s intent to hold or dispose of the security; and current economic conditions.

Other-than-temporary impairment losses result in a permanent reduction to the cost basis of the underlying investment.

For mortgage-backed securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield method based on prepayment assumptions and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimated prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. All other investment income is recorded using the interest-method without anticipating the impact of prepayments.

The Company provides valuation allowances for impairments of mortgage loans on real estate based on a review by portfolio managers. Mortgage loans on real estate are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When management determines that a loan is impaired, a provision for loss is established equal to the difference between the carrying value and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. In addition to the valuation allowance on specific loans, the Company maintains an unallocated allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date, but not yet specifically identified by loan. Changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. Loans in foreclosure are placed on non-accrual status. Interest received on non-accrual status mortgage loans on real estate is included in net investment income in the period received.

The valuation allowance account for mortgage loans on real estate is maintained at a level believed adequate by management and reflects management’s best estimate of probable credit losses, including losses incurred at the balance sheet date but not yet identified by specific loan. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors.

The Company grants mainly commercial mortgage loans on real estate to customers throughout the U.S. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a diversified portfolio with no more than 25.5% of the mortgage loan portfolio in any geographic region of the U.S. and no more than 2.6% with any one borrower, compared to 23.8% and 1.6%, respectively, as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, 33.4% and 32.0% of the carrying value of the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio financed retail properties, respectively.

Real estate to be held and used is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Real estate designated as held for disposal is not depreciated and is carried at the lower of the carrying value at the time of such designation or fair value less cost to sell. Other long-term investments are carried on the equity method of accounting.

Impairment losses are recorded on investments in long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.

Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the basis of specific security identification. Changes in the Company’s mortgage loan valuation allowance and recognition of impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in the fair values of applicable investments are included in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items.

(c) Derivative Instruments

Derivatives are carried at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge); a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge); a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge (foreign currency hedge); or a non-hedge transaction. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for entering into various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value, cash flow or foreign currency hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used for hedging transactions are expected to be and, for ongoing hedging relationships, have been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not, or is not expected to be, highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps or Euro futures to hedge the fair value of existing fixed rate assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company uses short U.S. Treasury future positions to hedge the fair value of bond and mortgage loan commitments. Typically, the Company is hedging the risk of changes in fair value attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates. Derivative instruments classified as fair value hedges are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. Changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the risk being hedged are also recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items.

The Company may enter into “receive fixed/pay variable” interest rate swaps to hedge existing variable rate assets or to hedge cash flows from the anticipated purchase of investments. These derivative instruments are identified as cash flow hedges and are carried at fair value with the offset recorded in AOCI to the extent the hedging relationship is effective. The ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. Gains and losses on derivative instruments that are initially recorded in AOCI are reclassified out of AOCI and recognized in earnings over the same period(s) that the hedged item affects earnings.

Accrued interest receivable or payable under interest rate and foreign currency swaps are recognized as an adjustment to net investment income or interest credited to policyholder account values consistent with the nature of the hedged item, except for interest rate swaps hedging the anticipated sale of investments where amounts receivable or payable under the swaps are recorded as realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items, and except for interest rate swaps hedging the anticipated purchase of investments where amounts receivable or payable under the swaps are initially recorded in AOCI to the extent the hedging relationship is effective.

The Company periodically may enter into a derivative transaction that will not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company does not enter into speculative positions. Although these transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting, or have not been designated in hedging relationships by the Company, they are part of its overall risk management strategy. For example, the Company may sell credit default protection through a credit default swap. Although the credit default swap may not be effective in hedging specific investments, the income stream allows the Company to manage overall investment yields while exposing the Company to acceptable credit risk. The Company may enter into a cross-currency basis swap (pay a variable U.S. rate and receive a variable foreign-denominated rate) to eliminate the foreign currency exposure of a variable rate foreign-denominated liability. Although basis swaps may qualify for hedge accounting, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments due to the difficulty in assessing and monitoring effectiveness for both sides of the basis swap. Derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedging instruments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items.

(d) Revenues and Benefits

Investment and Universal Life Insurance Products: Investment products consist primarily of individual and group variable and fixed deferred annuities. Universal life insurance products include universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, COLI, bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies. Revenues for investment products and universal life insurance products consist of net investment income, asset fees, cost of insurance charges, administrative fees and surrender charges that have been earned and assessed against policy account balances during the period. The timing of revenue recognition as it relates to fees assessed on investment contracts and universal life contracts is determined based on the nature of such fees. Asset fees, cost of insurance charges and administrative fees are assessed on a daily or monthly basis and recognized as revenue when assessed and earned. Certain amounts assessed that represent compensation for services to be provided in future periods are reported as unearned revenue and recognized in income over the periods benefited. Surrender charges are recognized upon surrender of a contract in accordance with contractual terms. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include interest credited to policy account values and benefits and claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account values.

Traditional Life Insurance Products: Traditional life insurance products include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and primarily consist of whole life insurance, limited-payment life insurance, term life insurance and certain annuities with life contingencies. Premiums for traditional life insurance products are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums so that profits are recognized over the life of the contract. This association is accomplished through the provision for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of policy acquisition costs.

(e) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs for Investment and Universal Life Insurance Products

The Company has deferred certain costs of acquiring investment and universal life insurance products business, principally commissions, certain expenses of the policy issue and underwriting department, and certain variable sales expenses that relate to and vary with the production of new and renewal business. Investment products primarily consist of individual and group variable and fixed deferred annuities. Universal life insurance products include universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, COLI and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies. DAC is subject to recoverability testing in the year of policy issuance and loss recognition testing at the end of each reporting period.

For investment and universal life insurance products, DAC is being amortized with interest over the lives of the policies in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits from projected interest margins, asset fees, cost of insurance charges, administration fees, surrender charges, and net realized gains and losses less policy benefits and policy maintenance expenses. The DAC asset related to investment products and universal life insurance products is adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale, as described in Note 2(b).

The most significant assumptions that are involved in the estimation of future gross profits include future net separate account performance, surrender/lapse rates, interest margins and mortality. The Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account performance is currently 8% growth per year. If actual net separate account performance varies from the 8% assumption, the Company assumes different performance levels over the next three years such that the mean return equals the long-term assumption. This process is referred to as a reversion to the mean. The assumed net separate account return assumptions used in the DAC models are intended to reflect what is anticipated. However, based on historical returns of the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, and as part of its pre-set parameters, the Company’s reversion to the mean process generally limits returns to 0-15% during the three-year reversion period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on the amount of DAC reported for investment products and universal life insurance products and their related amortization patterns. In the event actual experience differs from assumptions or future assumptions are revised, the Company is required to record an increase or decrease in DAC amortization expense, which could be significant. In general, increases in the estimated general and separate account returns result in increased expected future profitability and may lower the rate of DAC amortization, while increases in lapse/surrender and mortality assumptions reduce the expected future profitability of the underlying business and may increase the rate of DAC amortization.

Management evaluates the appropriateness of the individual variable annuity DAC balance within pre-set parameters. These parameters are designed to appropriately reflect the Company’s long-term expectations with respect to individual variable annuity contracts while also evaluating the potential impact of short-term experience on the Company’s recorded individual variable annuity DAC balance. If the recorded balance of individual variable annuity DAC falls outside of these parameters for a prescribed period of time, or if the recorded balance falls outside of these parameters and management determines it is not reasonably possible to get back within the parameters during this period of time, assumptions are required to be unlocked and DAC is recalculated using revised best estimate assumptions. If DAC assumptions were unlocked and revised, the Company would continue to use the reversion to the mean process.

For other investment and universal life insurance products, DAC is adjusted each quarter to reflect revised best estimate assumptions, including the use of a reversion to the mean methodology over the next three years as it relates to net separate account performance. Any resulting DAC true-up and unlocking adjustments are reflected currently in the consolidated statements of income.

(f) Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities represent contractholders’ funds, which have been segregated into accounts with specific investment objectives. Separate account assets are recorded at fair value based primarily on market quotations of the underlying securities. The investment income and gains or losses of these accounts accrue directly to the contractholders. The activity of the separate accounts is not reflected in the consolidated statements of income except for (1) the fees the Company receives, which are assessed on a daily or monthly basis and recognized as revenue when assessed and earned, and (2) the activity related to guaranteed contracts, which are riders to existing variable annuity contracts.

(g) Future Policy Benefits and Claims

The process of calculating reserve amounts for a life insurance organization involves the use of a number of assumptions, including those related to persistency (how long a contract stays with a company), mortality (the relative incidence of death in a given time), morbidity (the relative incidence of disability resulting from disease or physical impairment) and interest rates (the rates expected to be paid or received on financial instruments, including insurance or investment contracts).

The Company calculates its liability for future policy benefits and claims for investment products in the accumulation phase and universal life and variable universal life insurance policies as the policy account balance, which represents participants’ net premiums and deposits plus investment performance and interest credited less applicable contract charges.

The Company’s liability for funding agreements to an unrelated third party trust equals the balance that accrues to the benefit of the contractholder, including interest credited. The funding agreements constitute insurance obligations and are considered annuity contracts under Ohio insurance laws.

The liability for future policy benefits and claims for traditional life insurance policies was calculated by the net level premium method using interest rates varying from 2.0% to 10.5% and estimates of mortality, morbidity, investment yields and withdrawals that were used or being experienced at the time the policies were issued.

The liability for future policy benefits for payout annuities was calculated using the present value of future benefits and maintenance costs discounted using interest rates varying generally from 3.0% to 13.0%.

(h) Participating Business

Participating business, which refers to policies that participate in profits through policyholder dividends, represented approximately 8% in 2006 (10% in 2005 and 11% in 2004) of the Company’s life insurance in force, 50% of the number of life insurance policies in force in 2006 (52% in 2005 and 55% in 2004) and 5% of life insurance statutory premiums in 2006 (5% in 2005 and 7% in 2004). The provision for policyholder dividends was based on then current dividend scales and has been included in future policy benefits and claims in the consolidated balance sheets.

(i) Federal Income Taxes

The Company provides for federal income taxes based on amounts the Company believes it ultimately will owe. Inherent in the provision for federal income taxes are estimates regarding the deductibility of certain items and the realization of certain tax credits. In the event the ultimate deductibility of certain items or the realization of certain tax credits differs from estimates, the Company may be required to significantly change the provision for federal income taxes recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Any such change could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated statements of income. Management has used best estimates to establish reserves based on current facts and circumstances regarding tax exposure items where the ultimate deductibility is open to interpretation. Management evaluates the appropriateness of such reserves quarterly based on any new developments specific to their fact patterns. Information considered includes results of completed tax examinations, Technical Advice Memorandums and other rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the tax courts.

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under this method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be fully realized.

(j) Reinsurance Ceded

Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the respective income and expense accounts. Assets and liabilities related to reinsurance ceded are reported in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, separately from the related balances of the Company.

(k) Reclassification

Certain items in the 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

(3) Recently Issued Accounting Standards  

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statements No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. In addition, SFAS 159 does not establish requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income or interest expense, nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), and SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company currently is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability on its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end balance sheet, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end balance sheet is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. If in the last quarter of the preceding fiscal year an employer enters into a transaction that results in a settlement or experiences an event that causes a curtailment of the plan, the related gain or loss pursuant to Statement 88 or 106 is required to be recognized in earnings that quarter. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157. SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also provides guidance regarding the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income-statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 does not change the SEC’s previous guidance in SAB No. 99 on evaluating the materiality of misstatements. A registrant applying the new guidance for the first time that identifies material errors in existence at the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, may correct those errors through a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The cumulative effect alternative is available only if the application of the new guidance results in a conclusion that a material error exists as of the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, and those misstatements were determined to be immaterial based on a proper application of the registrant’s previous method for quantifying misstatements. Because of the beginning-of-year recognition of the cumulative effect adjustment, misstatements occurring in the year of adoption cannot be included in that adjustment. SAB 108 requires the following disclosures if a cumulative effect adjustment is recorded: the nature and amount of each individual error included in the cumulative effect adjustment; when and how each error arose; and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial. The cumulative effect adjustment is available only for prior-year uncorrected misstatements. The adjustment should not include amounts related to changes in accounting estimates. SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company plans to adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (SFAS 156).SFAS 156 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. Under SFAS 156, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. By electing that option, an entity may simplify its accounting because SFAS 156 permits income statement recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of those servicing assets and servicing liabilities and derivative instruments in the same accounting period. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 156 effective January 1, 2007. SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), and SFAS 140. SFAS 155 also resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. In summary, SFAS 155: (1) permits an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings; (2) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (3) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (4) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (5) amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. Provisions of SFAS 155 may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company elected to early adopt SFAS 155 as of January 1, 2006. On the date of adoption, there was no impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts (SOP 05-1). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments, issued by the FASB. SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs as a result of the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement or rider to a contract, or by the election of a new feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. Retrospective application of SOP 05-1 to previously issued financial statements is not permitted. Initial application of SOP 05-1 is required as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. The Company will adopt SOP 05-1 effective January 1, 2007. Although the Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of adoption, SOP 05-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company adopted SFAS 154 effective January 1, 2006. SFAS 154 has not had any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations since adoption.

In July 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts (SOP 03-1) to address many topics. The most significant topic affecting the Company was the accounting for contracts with guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB). SOP 03-1 requires companies to evaluate the significance of a GMDB to determine whether a contract should be accounted for as an investment or insurance contract. For contracts determined to be insurance contracts, companies are required to establish a reserve to recognize a portion of the assessment (revenue) that compensates the insurance company for benefits to be provided in future periods. The Company adopted SOP 03-1 effective January 1, 2004, which resulted in a $3.3 million charge, net of taxes, as the cumulative effect of adoption of this accounting principle.

(4) Fair Value of Financial Instruments  

The following disclosures summarize the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Certain assets and liabilities are specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements for financial instruments.

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the financial instrument could be bought or sold, or in the case of liabilities incurred or settled, in a current transaction between willing parties. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on the best information available in the circumstances. Such estimates of fair value should consider prices for similar assets or similar liabilities and the results of valuation techniques to the extent available in the circumstances. Examples of valuation techniques include the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved, option-pricing models, matrix pricing, option-adjusted spread models and fundamental analysis. Valuation techniques for measuring assets and liabilities must be consistent with the objective of measuring fair value and should incorporate assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of values, future revenues and future expenses, including assumptions about interest rates, default, prepayment and volatility.

Many of the Company’s assets and liabilities subject to these disclosure requirements are not actively traded, requiring fair values to be estimated by management using matrix pricing, present value or other suitable valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Although fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions that management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions could cause these estimates to vary materially. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in the immediate settlement of the instruments.

Although insurance contracts are specifically exempted from the disclosure requirements (other than those that are classified as investment contracts), the Company’s estimate of the fair values of policy reserves on life insurance contracts is provided to make the fair value disclosures more meaningful.

The tax ramifications of the related unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the estimates of fair value and have not been considered in arriving at such estimates.

In estimating its fair value disclosures, the Company used the following methods and assumptions:

Mortgage loans on real estate, net: The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. Estimated fair value is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.

Policy loans, short-term investments and cash: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair values.

Separate account assets and liabilities: The fair values of assets held in separate accounts are based on quoted market prices of the underlying securities. The fair values of liabilities related to separate accounts are the amounts payable on demand, net of certain surrender charges.

Investment contracts: The fair values of the Company’s liabilities under investment type contracts are based on one of two methods. For investment contracts without defined maturities, fair value is the amount payable on demand, net of certain surrender charges. For investment contracts with known or determined maturities, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. Interest rates used in this analysis are similar to currently offered contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

Policy reserves on life insurance contracts: Included are disclosures for individual life insurance, COLI, BOLI, universal life insurance and supplementary contracts with life contingencies for which the estimated fair value is the amount payable on demand. Also included are disclosures for the Company’s limited payment policies for which the Company has used discounted cash flow analyses to estimate fair value, similar to those used for investment contracts with known maturities.

Short-term debt, collateral received – securities lending and collateral received – derivatives: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt, payable to NFS: The fair values for long-term debt are based on estimated market prices.

Commitments to extend credit: Commitments to extend credit have nominal fair values because of the short-term nature of such commitments.

Interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps:The fair values for interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps are calculated with pricing models using current rate assumptions.

Interest rate futures contracts: The fair values for futures contracts are based on quoted market prices.

Other derivatives: The fair values for other derivatives are based on credit event probabilities, equity option index levels and broker valuations.

(5) Derivative Financial Instruments  

Qualitative Disclosure

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company periodically purchases fixed rate investments to back variable rate liabilities. As a result, the Company can be exposed to interest rate risk due to the mismatch between variable rate liabilities and fixed rate assets. In an effort to mitigate this risk, the Company enters into various types of derivative instruments to minimize this mismatch, with fluctuations in the fair values of the derivatives offsetting changes in the fair values of the investments resulting from changes in interest rates. The Company principally uses pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps to manage this risk.

Under these interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed rate payments. The fixed interest paid on the swap offsets the fixed interest received on the investment, resulting in the Company receiving the variable interest payments on the swap, generally 3-month U.S. London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and the credit spread on the investment. The net receipt of a variable rate will then match the variable rate paid on the liability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

As a result of entering into commercial mortgage loan and private placement commitments, the Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of such commitments due to changes in interest rates during the commitment period prior to the loans being funded. In an effort to manage this risk, the Company enters into short U.S. Treasury futures during the commitment period. With short U.S. Treasury futures, if interest rates rise/fall, the gains/losses on the futures will offset the change in fair value of the commitment attributable to the change in interest rates.

The Company periodically purchases variable rate investments (i.e., commercial mortgage loans and corporate bonds). As a result, the Company can be exposed to variability in cash flows and investment income due to changes in interest rates. Such variability poses risks to the Company when the assets are funded with fixed rate liabilities. In an effort to manage this risk, the Company may enter into receive fixed/pay variable interest rate swaps.

In using these interest rate swaps, the Company receives fixed interest rate payments and makes variable rate payments. The variable interest paid on the swap offsets the variable interest received on the investment, resulting in the Company receiving the fixed interest payments on the swap and the credit spread on the investment. The net receipt of a fixed rate will then match the fixed rate paid on the liability.

The Company manages interest rate risk at the segment level. Different segments may simultaneously hedge interest rate risks associated with owning fixed and variable rate investments considering the risk relevant to a particular segment.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

In conjunction with the Company’s medium-term note (MTN) program, the Company periodically issues both fixed and variable rate liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to changes in fair value of the liabilities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and related interest rates. In an effort to manage these risks, the Company enters into cross-currency interest rate swaps to convert these liabilities to a U.S. dollar rate.

The Company is exposed to changes in fair value of fixed rate investments denominated in a foreign currency due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and related interest rates. In an effort to manage this risk, the Company uses cross-currency interest rate hedges to swap these asset characteristics to variable U.S. dollar rate instruments. Cross-currency interest rate swaps on assets are structured to pay a fixed rate, in the foreign currency, and receive a variable U.S. dollar rate, generally 3-month U.S. LIBOR. These derivative instruments are designated as a fair value hedge of the fixed rate foreign denominated asset.

For a variable rate foreign liability, the cross-currency interest rate swap is structured to receive a variable rate, in the foreign currency, and pay a variable U.S. dollar rate, generally 3-month U.S. LIBOR. As both sides of the cross-currency interest rate swap are variable, the derivative instrument is a basis swap. While the receive-side terms of the cross-currency interest rate swap will line up with the terms of the liability, the Company is not able to match the pay-side terms of the derivative to a specific asset. Therefore, these derivative instruments do not receive hedge accounting treatment.

Cross-currency interest rate swaps on variable rate investments are structured to pay a variable rate, in the foreign currency, and receive a fixed U.S. dollar rate. The terms of the foreign currency paid on the swap will exactly match the terms of the foreign currency received on the asset, thus eliminating currency risk. These derivative instruments are designated as a cash flow hedge.

Equity Market Risk Management

Asset fees calculated as a percentage of the separate account assets are a significant source of revenue to the Company. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 82% of separate account assets were invested in equity mutual funds (approximately 83% as of December 31, 2005). Gains and losses in the equity markets result in corresponding increases and decreases in the Company’s separate account assets and asset fee revenue. In addition, a decrease in separate account assets may decrease the Company’s expectations of future profit margins due to a decrease in asset fee revenue and/or an increase in guaranteed contract claims, which also may require the Company to accelerate the amortization of DAC.

The Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account returns is 8% annual growth. If equity markets were unchanged throughout a given year, the Company estimates that its net earnings per diluted share, calculated using current weighted average diluted shares outstanding, would be approximately $0.05 to $0.10 less than had the Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account returns been realized. This analysis assumes no other factors change and that an unlocking of DAC assumptions would not be required. However, as it does each quarter, the Company would evaluate its DAC balance and underlying assumptions to determine whether unlocking is appropriate. The Company can provide no assurance that the experience of flat equity market returns would not result in changes to other factors affecting profitability, including the possibility of unlocking of DAC assumptions.

Many of the Company’s individual variable annuity contracts offer GMDB features. A GMDB generally provides a benefit if the annuitant dies and the contract value is less than a specified amount, which may be based on the premiums paid less amounts withdrawn or contract value on a specified anniversary date. A decline in the stock market causing the contract value to fall below this specified amount, which varies from contract to contract based on the date the contract was entered into as well as the GMDB feature elected, will increase the net amount at risk, which is the GMDB in excess of the contract value. This could result in additional GMDB claims.

In an effort to mitigate this risk, the Company has implemented a GMDB economic hedging program for certain new and existing business. Prior to implementation of the GMDB hedging program in 2000, the Company managed this risk primarily by entering into reinsurance arrangements. The GMDB economic hedging program is designed to offset changes in the economic value of the GMDB obligation up to a return of the contractholder’s premium payments. However, the first 10% of GMDB claims are not hedged. Currently the program shorts S&P 500 Index futures, which provides an offset to changes in the value of the designated obligation. The futures are not designated as hedges and, therefore, hedge accounting is not applied. The Company’s economic evaluation of the GMDB obligation is not consistent with current accounting treatment of the GMDB obligation. Therefore, the hedging activity is likely to lead to earnings volatility. This volatility was negligible in 2006. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the net amount at risk was $562.4 million and $1.08 billion before reinsurance, respectively, and $119.0 million and $178.4 million net of reinsurance, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s reserve for GMDB claims was $29.3 million and $26.9 million, respectively. See Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the F pages of this report for discussion of the impact of adopting a new accounting principle regarding GMDB reserves in 2004.

The Company also offers certain variable annuity products with a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (GMAB) rider. A GMAB provides the contractholder with a guaranteed return of premium, adjusted proportionately for withdrawals, after a specified period of time (5, 7 or 10 years) selected by the contractholder at the time of issuance of the variable annuity contract. In some cases, the contractholder also has the option, after a specified period of time, to drop the rider and continue the variable annuity contract without the GMAB. The design of the GMAB rider limits the risk to the Company in a variety of ways including asset allocation requirements, which serve to reduce the Company’s potential exposure to underlying fund performance risks. Specifically, the GMAB terms limit asset allocation by (1) requiring partial allocation of assets to a guaranteed term option (a fixed rate investment option) and excluding certain funds that are highly volatile or difficult to hedge or (2) requiring all assets be allocated to one of the approved asset allocation funds or models defined by the Company. A GMAB represents an embedded derivative in the variable annuity contract that is required to be separated from, and valued apart from, the host variable annuity contract. The embedded derivative is carried at fair value and reported in other future policy benefits and claims. The Company initially records an offset to the fair value of the embedded derivative on the balance sheet, which is amortized through the income statement over the term of the GMAB period of the contract. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are recognized in earnings. The fair value of the GMAB embedded derivative is calculated based on actuarial assumptions related to the projected benefit cash flows incorporating numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, expectations of contractholder persistency, market returns, correlations of market returns and market return volatility.

The Company began selling contracts with the GMAB feature on May 1, 2003. Beginning October 1, 2003, the Company launched an enhanced version of the rider that offered increased equity exposure to the contractholder in return for a higher charge. The Company simultaneously began economically hedging the GMAB exposure for those risks that exceed a level it considered acceptable. The GMAB economic hedge consists of shorting interest rate futures and S&P 500 Index futures contracts and does not qualify for hedge accounting under current guidance. Quarterly, the Company purchases S&P 500 Index put options and over-the-counter basket put options, which are constructed in order to minimize the tracking error of the hedge and the GMAB liability. See Note 2(c) to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the F pages of this report for discussion of economic hedges. The objective of the GMAB economic hedge strategy is to manage the exposures with risk beyond a level considered acceptable to the Company. The Company is exposed to equity market risk related to the GMAB feature should the growth in the underlying investments, including any GTO investment, fail to reach the guaranteed return level. The GMAB embedded derivative is likely to create volatility in earnings; however, the economic hedging program provides substantial mitigation of this exposure. This volatility was negligible in 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the balance of the GMAB embedded derivative was $116.3 million and $67.9 million, respectively. The increase in the balance of the GMAB embedded derivative was driven by the value of new business sold during 2006.

Beginning in March 2005, the Company began offering a hybrid GMAB/guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) through its Capital Preservation Plus Lifetime Income (CPPLI) contract rider. This living benefit combines a GMAB feature in its first 5-10 years with a lifetime withdrawal benefit which begins upon the maturity of the GMAB and extends for the duration of the insured’s life. In the event that the insured’s contract value is exhausted through such withdrawals, the Company will continue to fund future withdrawals at a pre-defined level until the insured’s death. In some cases, the contract owner has the right to drop the GLWB portion of this rider or periodically reset the guaranteed withdrawal basis to a higher level. This benefit requires a minimum allocation to guaranteed term options or adherence to limitations required by an approved asset allocation strategy as previously described above.

In March 2006, the Company added Lifetime Income (L.INC), a stand-alone GLWB, to compliment CPPLI in its product offerings. This rider is very similar to the hybrid benefit discussed above. L.INC provides for enhanced retirement income security via guaranteed accumulation rates and withdrawal rates that increase with age without the liquidity loss associated with annuitization. The lifetime withdrawal feature also is being economically hedged. Currently, the Company is using S&P 500 Index and U.S. Treasury futures to hedge exposure to declining equity and interest rate markets, respectively. Similar to GMDBs, the Company’s economic valuation of the lifetime income obligation is not consistent with the accounting treatment of the obligation. Therefore, hedging activity is likely to create volatility in earnings; however, the economic hedging program provides substantial mitigation of this exposure. This volatility was negligible in 2006.

Other Non-Hedging Derivatives

The Company periodically enters into basis swaps (receive one variable rate, pay another variable rate) to better match the cash flows received from the specific variable-rate investments with the variable rate paid on a group of liabilities. While the pay-side terms of the basis swap will line up with the terms of the asset, the Company is not able to match the receive-side terms of the derivative to a specific liability. Therefore, basis swaps do not receive hedge accounting treatment.

The Company sells credit default protection on selected debt instruments and combines the credit default swap with selected assets the Company owns to replicate a higher yielding bond. These selected assets may have sufficient duration for the related liability, but do not earn a sufficient credit spread. The combined credit default swap and investments provide cash flows with the duration and credit spread targeted by the Company. The credit default swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

The Company also has purchased credit default protection on selected debt instruments exposed to short-term credit concerns, or because the combination of the corporate bond and purchased default protection provides sufficient spread and duration targeted by the Company. The purchased credit default protection does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Fair Value Hedges

During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, a net gain of $2.9 million, a net gain of $4.1 million and a net loss of $11.3 million, respectively, were recognized in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. This represents the ineffective portion of the fair value hedging relationships. There were no gains or losses attributable to the portion of the derivative instruments’ changes in fair value excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. There were also no gains or losses recognized in earnings as a result of hedged firm commitments no longer qualifying as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges was a net loss of $1.5 million, a net gain of $3.1 million and a net gain of $1.0 million, respectively. There were no net gains or losses attributable to the portion of the derivative instruments’ changes in fair value excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

The Company anticipates reclassifying less than $0.8 million in net losses out of AOCI over the next 12-month period.

In general, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with forecasted transactions, other than those relating to variable interest on existing financial instruments, is twelve months or less.

During 2006, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges because the original forecasted transaction was no longer probable. Additionally, no amounts were reclassified from AOCI into earnings due to the probability that a forecasted transaction would not occur.

Other Derivative Instruments, Including Embedded Derivatives

Net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 included a net loss of $0.5 million, a net loss of $9.1 million and a net gain of $8.1 million, respectively, related to other derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, not designated in hedging relationships. In addition, the Individual Investments segment included a loss of $11.4 million and a gain of $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to other derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, not designated in hedging relationships. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, net losses of $10.6 million, $80.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively, were recorded in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items reflecting the change in fair value of cross-currency interest rate swaps hedging variable rate MTNs denominated in foreign currencies. Additional net gains of $14.1 million, $78.3 million and $5.9 million were recorded in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items to reflect the change in spot rates of these foreign currency denominated obligations during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Increases in unrealized losses more than one year are primarily due to changes in the interest rate environment. Those securities are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired because the decline in market value is attributed to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold those investments until recovery.

Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $2.27 billion, $2.62 billion and $2.49 billion, respectively. During 2006, gross gains of $61.6 million ($71.9 million and $61.5 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively) and gross losses of $64.1 million ($22.6 million and $8.7 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively) were realized on those sales.

The Company had $5.1 million and $22.2 million of real estate investments as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, that were non-income producing during the preceding twelve months.

Real estate held for use is presented at cost less accumulated depreciation of $16.7 million as of December 31, 2006 ($21.5 million as of December 31, 2005). The carrying value of real estate held for sale totaled $42.1 million and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The recorded investment of mortgage loans on real estate considered to be impaired was $17.5 million as of December 31, 2006 ($29.7 million as of December 31, 2005), for which the related valuation allowance was $12.3 million ($7.1 million as of December 31, 2005). Impaired mortgage loans with no valuation allowance are a result of collateral dependent loans where the fair value of the collateral is estimated to be greater than the recorded investment of the loan. During 2006, the average recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans on real estate was $3.5 million ($7.4 million in 2005). Interest income on those loans, which is recognized on a cash basis, totaled $1.9 million in 2006 ($2.1 million in 2005).

The following table summarizes activity in the valuation allowance account for mortgage loans on real estate for the years ended December 31:

(in millions)	2006		2005			2004

Fixed maturity securities with an amortized cost of $8.1 million and $16.4 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were on deposit with various regulatory agencies as required by law.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had not pledged any fixed maturity securities as collateral to various derivative counterparties compared to $8.5 million as of December 31, 2005.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had received $802.3 million and $1.10 billion, respectively, of cash collateral on securities lending and $171.0 million and $203.3 million, respectively, of cash for derivative collateral. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had not received any non-cash collateral on securities. Both the cash and non-cash collateral amounts are included in short-term investments with a corresponding liability recorded in other liabilities. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had loaned securities with a fair value of $778.6 million and $1.07 billion, respectively. The Company also held $12.8 million and $53.2 million of securities as off-balance sheet collateral on derivative transactions as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

(7) Variable Annuity Contracts  

The Company issues traditional variable annuity contracts through its separate accounts, for which investment income and gains and losses on investments accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contractholder. The Company also issues non-traditional variable annuity contracts in which the Company provides various forms of guarantees to benefit the related contractholders. The Company provides four primary guarantee types under non-traditional variable annuity contracts: (1) GMDB; (2) GMAB; (3) guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB); and (4) a hybrid guarantee with GMAB and GLWB.

The GMDB provides a specified minimum return upon death. Many of these death benefits are spousal, whereby a death benefit will be paid upon death of the first spouse. The survivor has the option to terminate the contract or continue it and have the death benefit paid into the contract and a second death benefit paid upon the survivor’s death. The Company has offered six primary GMDB types:

• Return of premium– provides the greater of account value or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals and assessments, which is referred to as “net premiums.” There are two variations of this benefit. In general, there is no lock in age for this benefit. However, for some contracts the GMDB reverts to the account value at a specified age, typically age 75.  

• Reset– provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the most recent five-year anniversary (prior to lock-in age) account value adjusted for withdrawals. For most contracts, this GMDB locks in at age 86 or 90, and for others the GMDB reverts to the account value at age 75, 85, 86 or 90.  

• Ratchet– provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the highest specified “anniversary” account value (prior to age 86) adjusted for withdrawals. Currently, there are three versions of ratchet, with the difference based on the definition of anniversary: monthaversary – evaluated monthly; annual – evaluated annually; and five-year – evaluated every fifth year.  

• Rollup– provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or premiums adjusted for withdrawals accumulated at generally 5% simple interest up to the earlier of age 86 or 200% of adjusted premiums. There are two variations of this benefit. For certain contracts, this GMDB locks in at age 86, and for others the GMDB reverts to the account value at age 75.  

• Combo– provides the greater of annual ratchet death benefit or rollup death benefit. This benefit locks in at either age 81 or 86.  

• Earnings enhancement– provides an enhancement to the death benefit that is a specified percentage of the adjusted earnings accumulated on the contract at the date of death. There are two versions of this benefit: (1) the benefit expires at age 86, and a credit of 4% of account value is deposited into the contract; and (2) the benefit does not have an end age, but has a cap on the payout and is paid upon the first death in a spousal situation. Both benefits have age limitations. This benefit is paid in addition to any other death benefits paid under the contract.  

The GMAB, offered in the Company’s Capital Preservation Plus (CPP) contract rider, is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed return of premium, adjusted proportionately for withdrawals, after a specified period of time (5, 7 or 10 years) selected by the contractholder at the issuance of the variable annuity contract. In some cases, the contractholder also has the option, after a specified period of time, to drop the rider and continue the variable annuity contract without the GMAB. In general, the GMAB requires a minimum allocation to guaranteed term options or adherence to limitations required by an approved asset allocation strategy.

The GMIB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed annuitization value. The GMIB types are:

• Ratchet– provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value, net premiums or the highest one-year anniversary account value (prior to age 86) adjusted for withdrawals.  

• Rollup– provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value and premiums adjusted for withdrawals accumulated at 5% compound interest up to the earlier of age 86 or 200% of adjusted premiums.  

• Combo– provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value, ratchet GMIB benefit or rollup GMIB benefit.  

See Note 5 for a complete description of the Company’s hybrid GMAB/GLWB offered through its CPPLI contract rider. All GMAB contracts with the hybrid GMAB/GLWB rider are included with GMAB contracts in the following tables.

¹   Net amount at risk is calculated on a seriatum basis and equals the respective guaranteed benefit less the account value (or zero if the account value exceeds the guaranteed benefit). As it relates to GMIB, net amount at risk is calculated as if all policies were eligible to annuitize immediately, although all GMIB options have a waiting period of at least 7 years from issuance, with the earliest annuitizations beginning in 2006.  

²   GMAB contracts with the hybrid GMAB/GLWB rider had account values of $2.95 billion and $939.1 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  

³   The weighted average period remaining until expected annuitization is not meaningful and has not been presented because there is currently no material GMIB exposure.

The Company’s GMDB claim reserves are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits on contracts that trigger a policy benefit and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. GMIB claim reserves are determined each period by estimating the expected value of annuitization benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total assessments. The Company regularly evaluates its GMDB and GMIB claim reserve estimates and adjusts the additional liability balances as appropriate, with a related charge or credit to other benefits and claims in the period of evaluation if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The assumptions used in calculating GMIB claim reserves are consistent with those used for calculating GMDB claim reserves. In addition, the calculation of GMIB claim reserves assumes benefit utilization ranges from a low of 3% when the contractholder’s annuitization value is at least 10% in the money to 100% utilization when the contractholder is 90% or more in the money.

In accordance with SOP 03-01, GLWB claim reserves for the L.INC rider are determined each period by estimating the expected value of withdrawal benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing such potential additional liabilities of the Company as a benefit reserve expense ratably over the accumulation period. The Company periodically evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance as appropriate, with a related charge or credit to life insurance and annuity benefits in the period of evaluation if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the GMDB claim reserves as of December 31, 2006 and 2005:

• Data used was based on a combination of historical numbers and future projections involving 50 probabilistically generated economic scenarios  

• Mean gross equity performance – 8.1%  

• Equity volatility – 18.7%  

• Mortality – 100% of Annuity 2000 table  

• Asset fees – equivalent to mutual fund and product loads  

• Discount rate – 8.0%  

Lapse rate assumptions vary by duration as shown below:

Duration (years)	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10+
Minimum	4.00%	5.00%	6.00%	7.00%	8.00%	9.50%	10.00%	11.00%	14.00%	14.00%
Maximum	4.00%	5.00%	6.00%	7.00%	35.00%	35.00%	23.00%	35.00%	35.00%	23.00%

GMABs and hybrid GMABs/GLWBs are considered embedded derivatives under current accounting guidance, resulting in the related liabilities being separated from the host insurance product and recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings, and therefore, excluded from the SOP 03-1 policy benefits.

(8) Short-Term Debt  

The following table summarizes short-term debt as of December 31:

(in millions)	2006		2005
$800.0 million commercial paper program	$	—	$	134.7
$350.0 million securities lending program facility		75.2		75.0
$250.0 million securities lending program facility		—		32.6
Total short-term debt	$	75.2	$	242.3

The Company has available as a source of funds a $1.00 billion revolving variable rate credit facility entered into by NFS, NLIC and NMIC with a group of national financial institutions. The facility provides for several and not joint liability with respect to any amount drawn by any party. The facility provides covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements that the Company maintain consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, in excess of $2.60 billion and that NLIC maintain statutory surplus, as defined, in excess of $1.67 billion. As of December 31, 2006, the Company and NLIC were in compliance with all covenants. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. NLIC also has an $800.0 million commercial paper program and is required to maintain an available credit facility equal to 50% of any amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program. Therefore, borrowing capacity under the aggregate $1.00 billion revolving credit facility is reduced by 50% of any amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program. NLIC had no commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2006 and $134.7 million outstanding at December 31, 2005 at a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.22%.

NLIC has entered into an agreement with its custodial bank to borrow against the cash collateral that is posted in connection with its securities lending program. This is an uncommitted facility contingent on the liquidity of the securities lending program. The borrowing facility was established to fund commercial mortgage loans that were originated with the intent of sale through securitization. The maximum amount available under the agreement is $350.0 million. The borrowing rate on this program is equal to one-month U.S. LIBOR. NLIC had $75.2 million and $75.0 million outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had not provided any guarantees on such borrowings, either directly or indirectly.

The Company paid interest on short-term debt totaling $11.7 million, $11.5 million and $3.6 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(9) Long-Term Debt  

The following table summarizes surplus notes payable to NFS as of December 31:

(in millions)	2006		2005
8.15% surplus note, due June 27, 2032	$	300.0	$	300.0
7.50% surplus note, due December 17, 2031		300.0		300.0
6.75% surplus note, due December 23, 2033		100.0		100.0
Total long-term debt	$	700.0	$	700.0

The Company made interest payments to NFS on surplus notes totaling $53.7 million, $53.7 million and $50.7 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Payments of interest and principal under the notes require the prior approval of the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI).

(10) Federal Income Taxes  

Through September 30, 2002, the Company filed a consolidated federal income tax return with NMIC, the ultimate majority shareholder of NFS. Effective October 1, 2002, Nationwide Corporation’s ownership in NFS decreased from 79.8% to 63.0%. Therefore, NFS and its subsidiaries, including the Company, no longer qualify to be included in the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return. The members of the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return group participated in a tax sharing arrangement, which provided, in effect, for each member to bear essentially the same federal income tax liability as if separate tax returns were filed.

Under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) regulations, NFS and its subsidiaries cannot file a life/non-life consolidated federal income tax return until five full years following NFS’ departure from the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return group. Therefore, NFS and its direct non-life insurance company subsidiaries will file a consolidated federal income tax return; NLIC and NLAIC will file a consolidated federal income tax return; and the direct non-life insurance companies under NLIC will file separate federal income tax returns, until 2008, when NFS will become eligible to file a single life/non-life consolidated federal income tax return with all of its subsidiaries.

The following table summarizes the tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant components of the net deferred tax liability as of December 31:

(in millions)	2006			2005
Deferred tax assets:
Future policy benefits	$	607.8		$	630.5
Other		138.6			185.9
Gross deferred tax assets		746.4			816.4
Less valuation allowance		(7.0	)		(7.0	)
Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance		739.4			809.4
Deferred tax liabilities:
Deferred policy acquisition costs		1,022.2			970.5
Other		173.9			237.1
Gross deferred tax liabilities		1,196.1			1,207.6
Net deferred tax liability	$	456.7		$	398.2

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the total gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. Future taxable amounts or recovery of federal income taxes paid within the statutory carryback period can offset nearly all future deductible amounts. The valuation allowance was unchanged during 2006, 2005 and 2004.

The Company’s current federal income tax (asset) liability was $(12.6) million and $53.8 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Through June 2006, the Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2000-2002 were under IRS examination pursuant to a routine audit. In accordance with its regular practice, management established tax reserves representing its best estimate of additional amounts the Company could be required to pay if certain positions it had taken were challenged and ultimately denied by the IRS with respect to these tax years. These reserves are reviewed regularly and are adjusted as events occur that management believes impacts the Company’s liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations; conclusion of tax audits or substantial agreement on the deductibility/non-deductibility of uncertain items; additional exposure based on current calculations; identification of new issues; release of administrative guidance; or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue. A significant component of the Company’s tax reserve as of December 31, 2005 was related to the separate account dividends received deduction (DRD).

In July 2006, the Company reached substantial agreement with the IRS on all open issues for tax years 2000-2002, including issues related to the DRD. Accordingly, the Company revised its estimate of amounts that may be due in connection with certain tax positions, including the DRD, for all open tax years. As a result of the revised estimate, $110.9 million of tax reserves were released into earnings during the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $7.8 million of net federal income tax expense adjustments primarily related to differences between the 2005 estimated tax liability and the amounts reported on the Company’s 2005 tax returns.

During the third quarter of 2005, the Company refined its separate account DRD estimation process. As a result, the Company identified and recorded additional federal income tax benefits and recoverables in the amount of $42.6 million related to all tax years (2000 – 2005) that were open at that time. In addition, the Company recorded $5.6 million of net benefit adjustments primarily related to differences between the 2004 estimated tax liability and the amounts reported on the Company’s 2004 tax returns.

Federal income tax expense	$	30.6		$	95.6	$	120.0

Total federal income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to income from continuing operations before federal income taxes as follows for the years ended December 31:

	2006					2005					2004
(dollars in millions)	Amount			%		Amount			%		Amount			%

Total	$	30.6		4.7		$	95.6		15.4		$	120.0		22.4

The Jobs Creation Act of 2004 suspends policyholder surplus accounts (PSA) during 2005 and 2006 and provides that direct and indirect distributions from the PSA during any taxable year beginning after 2004 and before 2007 be treated as zero. Because NLIC had the ability and intent to distribute this PSA balance to its shareholder during the noted period, the potential tax liability was eliminated as of December 31, 2004. The Jobs Creation Act of 2004 had no other significant impact on the Company’s tax position.

Total federal income taxes (refunded) paid were $(4.3) million, $182.2 million and $142.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(11) Shareholders’ Equity, Regulatory Risk-Based Capital and Dividend Restrictions  

Regulatory Risk-Based Capital

The State of Ohio, where NLIC and NLAIC are domiciled, imposes minimum risk-based capital requirements that were developed by the NAIC. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to authorized control level risk-based capital, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. NLIC and NLAIC each exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements for all periods presented herein.

Dividend Restrictions

State insurance laws generally restrict the ability of insurance companies to pay cash dividends and make other payments in excess of certain prescribed limitations without prior approval. The Company is limited in the amount of shareholder dividends it may pay without prior approval by the ODI. The statutory capital and surplus of NLIC as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $2.68 billion and $2.60 billion, respectively. The statutory net income of NLIC for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $537.5 million, $462.5 million and $317.7 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2007, based on statutory financial results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, NLIC could pay dividends totaling $162.5 million without obtaining prior approval. As of March 1, 2007, NLIC will be able to pay dividends to NFS totaling $232.5 million upon providing prior notice to the ODI. On February 21, 2007, NLIC declared an ordinary dividend of $232.5 million and an extraordinary dividend of $242.5 million, both payable to NFS in March 2007. NLIC will provide notice to the ODI of the ordinary dividend and seek prior approval from the ODI of the extraordinary dividend before paying these dividends to NFS.

In addition, the payment of dividends by NLIC may also be subject to restrictions set forth in the insurance laws of the State of New York that limit the amount of statutory profits on NLIC’s participating policies (measured before dividends to policyholders) that can inure to the benefit of the Company and its shareholder.

The Company currently does not expect such regulatory requirements to impair its ability to pay future operating expenses, interest and shareholder dividends.

(12) Employee Benefit Plans  

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company and certain affiliated companies participate in a qualified defined benefit pension plan sponsored by NMIC. This plan covers all employees of participating companies who have completed at least one year of service. Plan contributions are invested in a group annuity contract issued by NLIC. All participants are eligible for benefits based on an account balance feature. Participants last hired before 2002 are eligible for benefits based on the highest average annual salary of a specified number of consecutive years of the last ten years of service, if such benefits are of greater value than the account balance feature. The Company funds pension costs accrued for direct employees plus an allocation of pension costs accrued for employees of affiliates whose work benefits the Company. A separate non-qualified defined benefit pension plan sponsored by NMIC covers certain executives with at least one year of service. The Company’s portion of expense relating to these plans was $19.9 million, $16.6 million and $13.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In addition to the NMIC pension plan, the Company and certain affiliated companies participate in life and health care defined benefit plans sponsored by NMIC for qualifying retirees. Postretirement life and health care benefits are contributory. The level of contribution required by a qualified retiree depends on the retiree’s years of service and date of hire. In general, postretirement benefits are available to full-time employees who are credited with 120 months of retiree life and health service. Postretirement health care benefit contributions are adjusted annually and contain cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. In addition, there are caps on the Company’s portion of the per-participant cost of the postretirement health care benefits. The Company’s policy is to fund the cost of health care benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management. Plan assets are invested primarily in group annuity contracts issued by NLIC. The Company’s portion of expense relating to these plans was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Defined Contribution Plans

NMIC sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan covering substantially all employees of the Company. Employees may make salary deferral contributions of up to 80%. Salary deferrals of up to 6% are subject to a 50% Company match. The Company’s expense for contributions to these plans was $6.6 million, $6.2 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(13) Related Party Transactions  

The Company has entered into significant, recurring transactions and agreements with NMIC, other affiliates and subsidiaries as a part of its ongoing operations. These include annuity and life insurance contracts, office space leases, and agreements related to reinsurance, cost sharing, administrative services, marketing, intercompany loans, intercompany repurchases, cash management services and software licensing. Measures used to allocate expenses among companies include individual employee estimates of time spent, special cost studies, the number of full-time employees, commission expense and other methods agreed to by the participating companies and that are within industry guidelines and practices.

In addition, Nationwide Services Company, LLC (NSC), a subsidiary of NMIC, provides computer, telephone, mail, employee benefits administration and other services to NMIC and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including the Company, based on specified rates for units of service consumed. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company made payments to NMIC and NSC totaling $261.7 million, $274.1 million and $194.6 million, respectively.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

The Company has issued group annuity and life insurance contracts and performs administrative services for various employee benefit plans sponsored by NMIC or its affiliates. Total account values of these contracts were $5.48 billion and $6.39 billion as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total revenues from these contracts were $133.4 million, $136.2 million and $136.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and include policy charges, net investment income from investments backing the contracts and administrative fees. Total interest credited to the account balances was $110.7 million, $107.3 million and $107.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The terms of these contracts are consistent in all material respects with what the Company offers to unaffiliated parties who are similarly situated.

The Company leases office space from NMIC. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company made lease payments to NMIC of $19.3 million, $18.7 million and $18.4 million, respectively.

NLIC has a reinsurance agreement with NMIC whereby all of NLIC’s accident and health business not ceded to unaffiliated reinsurers is ceded to NMIC on a modified coinsurance basis. Either party may terminate the agreement on January 1 of any year with prior notice. Under a modified coinsurance agreement, the ceding company retains invested assets, and investment earnings are paid to the reinsurer. Under the terms of NLIC’s agreements, the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates is borne by the reinsurer. The ceding of risk does not discharge the original insurer from its primary obligation to the policyholder. The Company believes that the terms of the modified coinsurance agreements are consistent in all material respects with what the Company could have obtained with unaffiliated parties. Revenues ceded to NMIC for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $430.8 million, $429.5 million and $335.6 million, respectively, while benefits, claims and expenses ceded during these years were $470.4 million, $398.8 million and $336.0 million, respectively.

Funds of NWD Investment Management, Inc. (NWD), an affiliate, are offered to the Company’s customers as investment options in certain of the Company’s products. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, customer allocations to NWD funds totaled $18.26 billion and $15.70 billion, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, NWD paid the Company $64.4 million, $51.6 million and $44.5 million, respectively, for the distribution and servicing of these funds.

Under a marketing agreement with NMIC, NLIC makes payments to cover a portion of the agent marketing allowance that is paid to Nationwide agents. These costs cover product development and promotion, sales literature, rent and similar items. Payments under this agreement totaled $28.3 million, $26.5 million and $23.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company also participates in intercompany repurchase agreements with affiliates whereby the seller transfers securities to the buyer at a stated value. Upon demand or after a stated period, the seller repurchases the securities at the original sales price plus interest. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had no outstanding borrowings from affiliated entities under such agreements. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the most the Company had outstanding at any given time was $191.5 million, $55.3 million and $227.7 million, respectively, and the amounts the Company incurred for interest expense on intercompany repurchase agreements during these years were immaterial.

The Company and various affiliates entered into agreements with Nationwide Cash Management Company (NCMC), an affiliate, under which NCMC acts as a common agent in handling the purchase and sale of short-term securities for the respective accounts of the participants. Amounts on deposit with NCMC for the benefit of the Company were $601.3 million and $390.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are included in short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets.

Certain annuity products are sold through affiliated companies, which are also subsidiaries of NFS. Total commissions and fees paid to these affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $58.1 million, $59.0 million and $63.1 million, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not purchase any fixed maturity securities available-for-sale from NFN compared to $829.9 million during 2004. NFN recorded gross realized gains of $23.4 million on such transactions during 2004.

An affiliate of the Company is currently developing a browser-based policy administration and online brokerage software application for defined benefit plans. In connection with the development of this application, the Company made net payments, which were expensed, to that affiliate related to development totaling $6.9 million, $2.9 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Historically, the Company has retained funds for certain claim and benefit payments to customers in the form of interest-bearing accounts. During the year ended December 31, 2006, this practice was discontinued. Eligible participant balances totaling $224.7 million were transferred from the Company to interest-bearing deposit accounts of Nationwide Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NFS, in exchange for cash plus a premium of $0.7 million payable to NFS for the value of the relationships acquired by Nationwide Bank.

Through September 30, 2002, the Company filed a consolidated federal income tax return with NMIC, as discussed in more detail in Note 10. Effective October 1, 2002, NLIC began filing a consolidated federal income tax return with NLAIC. Total payments (from) to NMIC were $(15.3) million, $45.0 million and $37.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These payments related to tax years prior to deconsolidation.

In 2006, 2005 and 2004, NLIC paid dividends to NFS totaling $375.0 million, $185.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively.

(14) Contingencies  

Legal Matters

The Company is a party to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. It is often not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of the pending investigations and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses with any degree of certainty. Some matters, including certain of those referred to below, are in very preliminary stages, and the Company does not have sufficient information to make an assessment of the plaintiffs’ claims for liability or damages. In some of the cases seeking to be certified as class actions, the court has not yet decided whether a class will be certified or (in the event of certification) the size of the class and class period. In many of the cases, the plaintiffs are seeking undefined amounts of damages or other relief, including punitive damages and equitable remedies, which are difficult to quantify and cannot be defined based on the information currently available. The Company does not believe, based on information currently known by management, that the outcomes of such pending investigations and legal proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results in a particular quarterly or annual period.

In recent years, life insurance companies have been named as defendants in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits relating to life insurance and annuity pricing and sales practices. A number of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial jury awards or settlements against life insurers other than the Company.

The financial services industry, including mutual fund, variable annuity, life insurance and distribution companies, has also been the subject of increasing scrutiny by regulators, legislators and the media over the past few years. Numerous regulatory agencies, including the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York State Attorney General, have commenced industry-wide investigations regarding late trading and market timing in connection with mutual funds and variable insurance contracts, and have commenced enforcement actions against some mutual fund and life insurance companies on those issues. The Company has been contacted by or received subpoenas from the SEC and the New York State Attorney General, who are investigating market timing in certain mutual funds offered in insurance products sponsored by the Company. The Company has cooperated with these investigations. Information requests from the New York State Attorney General and the SEC with respect to investigations into late trading and market timing were last responded to by the Company and its affiliates in December 2003 and June 2005, respectively, and no further information requests have been received with respect to these matters.

In addition, state and federal regulators have commenced investigations or other proceedings relating to compensation and bidding arrangements and possible anti-competitive activities between insurance producers and brokers and issuers of insurance products, and unsuitable sales and replacements by producers on behalf of the issuer. Also under investigation are compensation and revenue sharing arrangements between the issuers of variable insurance contracts and mutual funds or their affiliates, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, funding agreements issued to back MTN programs, recordkeeping and retention compliance by broker/dealers, and supervision of former registered representatives. Related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future. The Company and/or its affiliates have been contacted by or received subpoenas from state and federal regulatory agencies, state securities law regulators and state attorneys general for information relating to certain of these investigations, including those relating to compensation, revenue sharing and bidding arrangements, anti-competitive activities, unsuitable sales or replacement practices, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, and funding agreements backing the NLIC MTN program. The Company is cooperating with regulators in connection with these inquiries and will cooperate with NMIC in responding to these inquiries to the extent that any inquiries encompass NMIC’s operations.

These proceedings are expected to continue in the future and could result in legal precedents and new industry-wide legislation, rules and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including life insurance and annuity companies. These proceedings also could affect the outcome of one or more of the Company’s litigation matters. There can be no assurance that any such litigation or regulatory actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.

On November 15, 2006, NFS, NLIC and NRS were named in a lawsuit filed in the Untied States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio entitled Kevin Beary, Sheriff of Orange County, Florida, In His Official Capacity, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Nationwide Life Insurance Co., Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. and Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in the United States that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants at any time during the class period, or in the alternative, all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in Florida that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants during the class period. The Class Period is from January 1, 1996 until the Class Notice is provided. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by arranging for and retaining service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks an accounting, a declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction and disgorgement or restitution of the service fee payments allegedly received by the defendants, including interest. On January 25, 2007, NFS, NLIC and NRS filed a motion to dismiss. NFS, NLIC and NRS intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On February 11, 2005, NLIC was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court, Franklin County, Ohio entitled Michael Carr v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. The complaint seeks recovery for breach of contract, fraud by omission, violation of the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act and unjust enrichment. The complaint also seeks unspecified compensatory damages, disgorgement of all amounts in excess of the guaranteed maximum premium and attorneys’ fees. On February 2, 2006, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification on the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims. The Court certified a class consisting of all residents of the United States and the Virgin Islands who, during the Class Period, paid premiums on a modal basis to NLIC for term life insurance policies issued by NLIC during the Class Period that provide for guaranteed maximum premiums, excluding certain specified products. Excluded from the class are NLIC; any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of NLIC; all employees, officers and directors of NLIC; and any justice, judge or magistrate judge of the State of Ohio who may hear the case. The Class Period is from February 10, 1990 through February 2, 2006, the date the class was certified. On January 26, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. NLIC continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On April 13, 2004, NLIC was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Circuit Court, Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, entitled Woodbury v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. NLIC removed this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on June 1, 2004. On December 27, 2004, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland and included in the multi-district proceeding entitled In Re Mutual Funds Investment Litigation. In response, on May 13, 2005, the plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint purporting to represent, with certain exceptions, a class of all persons who held (through their ownership of an NLIC annuity or insurance product) units of any NLIC sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing or stale price trading activity. The First Amended Complaint purports to disclaim, with respect to market timing or stale price trading in NLIC’s annuities sub-accounts, any allegation based on NLIC’s untrue statement, failure to disclose any material fact, or usage of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in connection with any class member’s purchases or sales of NLIC annuities or units in annuities sub-accounts. The plaintiff claims, in the alternative, that if NLIC is found with respect to market timing or stale price trading in its annuities sub-accounts, to have made any untrue statement, to have failed to disclose any material fact or to have used or employed any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, then the plaintiff purports to represent a class, with certain exceptions, of all persons who, prior to NLIC’s untrue statement, omission of material fact, use or employment of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, held (through their ownership of an NLIC annuity or insurance product) units of any NLIC sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing activity. The First Amended Complaint alleges common law negligence and seeks to recover damages not to exceed $75,000 per plaintiff or class member, including all compensatory damages and costs. On June 1, 2006, the District Court granted NLIC’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint. On November 29, 2006, the plaintiff filed its appellate brief with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals contesting the District Court’s dismissal. NLIC continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On January 21, 2004, NLIC, Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America, NLAIC, NFS and Nationwide Financial Corporation (collectively referred to as the Companies) were named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi entitled United Investors Life Insurance Company v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Company of America and/or Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and/or Nationwide Financial Corporation, and John Does A-Z. In its complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the Companies and/or their affiliated life insurance companies caused the replacement of variable insurance policies and other financial products issued by United Investors with policies issued by the Companies. The plaintiff raises claims for (1) violations of the Federal Lanham Act, and common law unfair competition and defamation; (2) tortious interference with the plaintiff’s contractual relationship with Waddell & Reed, Inc. and/or its affiliates, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc. and W&R Insurance Agency, Inc., or with the plaintiff’s contractual relationships with its variable policyholders; (3) civil conspiracy; and (4) breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, a full accounting, a constructive trust and costs and disbursements, including attorneys’ fees. On December 30, 2005, the Companies filed a motion for summary judgment. On June 15, 2006, the District Court granted the Companies’ motion for summary judgment on all grounds and dismissed the plaintiff’s entire case with prejudice. The plaintiff appealed the District Court’s decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal has been fully briefed, and the Companies are awaiting a decision. The Companies continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On August 15, 2001, NFS and NLIC were named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut entitled Lou Haddock, as trustee of the Flyte Tool & Die, Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, et al v. Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and Nationwide Life Insurance Company. Currently, the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint, filed March 21, 2006, purports to represent a class of qualified retirement plans under ERISA that purchased variable annuities from NLIC. The plaintiffs allege that they invested ERISA plan assets in their variable annuity contracts and that NLIC and NFS breached ERISA fiduciary duties by allegedly accepting service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks disgorgement of some or all of the payments allegedly received by NLIC and NFS, other unspecified relief for restitution, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. To date, the District Court has rejected the plaintiffs’ request for certification of the alleged class. NFS’ and NLIC’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint is currently pending before the court. NFS and NLIC continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

Tax Matters

The Company’s federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the IRS. Management has established tax reserves representing its best estimate of additional amounts it may be required to pay if certain tax positions it has taken are challenged and ultimately denied by the IRS. These reserves are reviewed regularly and are adjusted as events occur that management believes impact its liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits or substantial agreement on the deductibility/non-deductibility of uncertain items, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, release of administrative guidance or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue. Management believes its tax reserves reasonably provide for potential assessments that may result from IRS examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.

(15) Guarantees  

Since 2001, the Company has sold $626.1 million of credit enhanced equity interests in Low-Income-Housing Tax Credit Funds (Tax Credit Funds) to unrelated third parties. The Company has guaranteed cumulative after-tax yields to the third party investors ranging from 3.75% to 5.25% over periods ending between 2002 and 2022. As of December 31, 2006, the Company held guarantee reserves totaling $6.3 million on these transactions. These guarantees are in effect for periods of approximately 15 years each. The Tax Credit Funds provide a stream of tax benefits to the investors that will generate a yield and return of capital. If the tax benefits are not sufficient to provide these cumulative after-tax yields, then the Company must fund any shortfall, which is mitigated by stabilization collateral set aside by the Company at the inception of the transactions. The maximum amount of undiscounted future payments that the Company could be required to pay the investors under the terms of the guarantees is $1.36 billion. The Company does not anticipate making any payments related to these guarantees.

At the time of the sales, $5.9 million of net sale proceeds were set aside as collateral for certain properties owned by the Tax Credit Funds that had not met all of the criteria necessary to generate tax credits. Such criteria include completion of construction and the leasing of each unit to a qualified tenant, among others. Properties meeting the necessary criteria are considered to have “stabilized.” The properties are evaluated regularly, and the collateral is released when stabilized. During 2006 and 2005, no stabilization collateral amounts were released into income. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, $2.2 million of stabilization collateral was unrecognized and recorded as a reserve, respectively.

To the extent there are cash deficits in any specific property owned by the Tax Credit Funds, property reserves, property operating guarantees and reserves held by the Tax Credit Funds are exhausted before the Company is required to perform under its guarantees. To the extent the Company is ever required to perform under its guarantees, it may recover any such funding out of the cash flow distributed from the sale of the underlying properties of the Tax Credit Funds. This cash flow distribution would be paid to the Company prior to any cash flow distributions to unrelated third party investors.

(16) Variable Interest Entities  

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had relationships with 18 and 19 variable interest entities (VIEs), respectively, each of which the Company was the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2006, each VIE was a conduit that assists the Company in structured products transactions involving the sale of Tax Credit Funds to third party investors for which the Company provides guaranteed returns (see Note 15). The results of operations and financial position of these VIEs are included along with corresponding minority interest liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

VIE net assets were $445.5 million and $440.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The following table summarizes the components of net assets as of December 31:

(in millions)	2006			2005
Mortgage loans on real estate	$	—		$	31.5
Other long-term investments		432.5			478.6
Short-term investments		33.7			42.3
Other assets		37.8			41.3
Short-term debt		—			(32.6	)
Other liabilities		(58.5	)		(120.5	)

The Company’s total loss exposure from VIEs of which the Company is the primary beneficiary was immaterial as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 (except for the impact of guarantees disclosed in Note 15).

In addition to the VIEs described above, the Company holds variable interests, in the form of limited partnerships or similar investments, in Tax Credit Funds of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These investments have been held by the Company for periods of 1 to 10 years and allow the Company to utilize certain tax credits and realize other tax benefits from affordable housing projects. The Company also has certain investments in other securitization transactions that qualify as VIEs, but of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The total exposure to loss on these VIEs was $68.9 million and $53.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

(17) Segment Information  

Management views the Company’s business primarily based on its underlying products and uses this basis to define its four reportable segments: Individual Investments, Retirement Plans, Individual Protection, and Corporate and Other.

The primary segment profitability measure that management uses is pre-tax operating earnings, which is calculated by adjusting income from continuing operations before federal income taxes to exclude (1) net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items, except for periodic net coupon settlements on non-qualifying derivatives and net realized gains and losses related to securitizations and (2) the adjustment to amortization of DAC related to net realized gains and losses.

Individual Investments

The Individual Investments segment consists of individual The BEST of AMERICA^® and private label deferred variable annuity products, deferred fixed annuity products, income products and advisory services. Individual deferred annuity contracts provide the customer with tax-deferred accumulation of savings and flexible payout options including lump sum, systematic withdrawal or a stream of payments for life. In addition, individual variable annuity contracts provide the customer with access to a wide range of investment options and asset protection features, while individual fixed annuity contracts generate a return for the customer at a specified interest rate fixed for prescribed periods.

Retirement Plans

The Retirement Plans segment is comprised of the Company’s private and public sector retirement plans business. The private sector primarily includes IRC Section 401(k) business, and the public sector primarily includes IRC Section 457 and Section 401(a) business, both in the form of full-service arrangements that provide plan administration and fixed and variable group annuities as well as administration-only business.

Individual Protection

The Individual Protection segment consists of investment life insurance products, including individual variable, COLI and BOLI products; traditional life insurance products; and universal life insurance products. Life insurance products provide a death benefit and generally allow the customer to build cash value on a tax-advantaged basis.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment includes certain structured products business; the MTN program; net investment income and certain expenses not allocated to other segments; periodic net coupon settlements on non-qualifying derivatives; interest expense on debt; revenue and expenses of the Company’s non-insurance subsidiaries not reported in other segments; and net realized gains and losses related to securitizations.

Item 29. Indemnification

Ohio's General Corporation Law expressly authorizes and Nationwide’s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations provides for indemnification by Nationwide of any person who, because such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Nationwide was or is a party; or is threatened to be made a party to:

o any threatened, pending or completed civil action, suit or proceeding;

o any threatened, pending or completed criminal action, suit or proceeding;

o any threatened, pending or completed administrative action or proceeding;

o any threatened, pending or completed investigative action or proceeding.

The indemnification will be for actual and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the Ohio's General Corporation Law.

Nationwide has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission the indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling Nationwide for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act. Nationwide and the directors, officers and/or controlling persons will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.  Nationwide will not be required to seek the court’s determination if, in the opinion of Nationwide’s counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent.

However, the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is permitted
