Important Information About The Clifton Enhanced U.S. Equity Fund

Prior to April 30, 2003, the Clifton Enhanced U.S. Equity Fund (the "Clifton Fund") was also available through your policy. The Board of Directors of M Funds, Inc., however, has considered and adopted a plan of liquidation on behalf of the Clifton Fund.

In connection with the planned liquidation, sale of the Clifton Fund's shares were suspended effective April 30, 2003. Consequently, as of April 30, 2003, purchase orders for Clifton Fund shares (including premium payments and loan repayments to the Clifton Fund and transfers into the Clifton Fund from other investment options within your policy through your policy's dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs, or otherwise) will not be accepted and amounts designated for the Clifton Fund will be allocated proportionately to the other investment options according to your most recent allocation instructions.

The final liquidation of the Clifton Fund is planned for June 30, 2003, or as soon thereafter as practicable. We encourage all policy owners with amounts allocated to the Clifton Fund to transfer those amounts to one or more of the other available investment options under the policy prior to the date of liquidation. Upon liquidation, policy owners with amounts still allocated to the Clifton Fund will have those amounts automatically transferred to the Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio. All transfers involving the Clifton Fund will not count as a transfer for purposes of any limit or restriction on transfers nor will they be subject to any transfer charge. Likewise, for 30 days following liquidation of the Clifton Fund, you may transfer amounts that were automatically transferred to the Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio to one or more of the other available investment options, without any restriction or transfer charge.

Your policy's prospectus and the fund prospectuses can be requested by calling our Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-877-253-5050. These prospectuses contain information about your policy's investment options and the various fund fees and charges. Please read your policy's prospectus and the fund prospectuses carefully before investing.

_____________________________________

The following investment portfolios are hereby added as available variable investment options under your policy:

Effective May 1, 2003 the Institutional Class of fund shares replaced the Service Class of fund shares. Institutional Class shares have 0.25% lower total fund expenses than the Service Class shares, and the effect of this transaction is to give policy owners an investment in the same fund managed by the same investment adviser at a lower cost.

 

Accordingly, the Investment Portfolio Annual Expenses table is hereby supplemented with information about these new investment portfolios:

The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds' affiliates based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in this Fund Expense Table and the fund prospectuses. The Company may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative, recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds' affiliates. These additional payments are made by the funds or the funds' affiliates to the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fees and expenses shown below.

The Management Agreement between the Trust and its Manager, DSI ("Manager"), provides for a "bundled fee" arrangement, under which the Manager provides, in addition to advisory services, administrative and other services necessary for the ordinary operation of the Portfolios, and pays for the services and information necessary to the proper conduct of the Portfolios’ business, including custodial, administrative, transfer agency, portfolio accounting, auditing, and ordinary legal services, in return for the single management fee. Therefore, the ordinary operating expenses borne by the Portfolios are normally expected to include such expenses as the cost of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Manager, including the cost of the Trustees and Officers Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance coverage, any taxes paid by the Portfolios, expenses paid through the 12b-1 plan and service agreement, interest expenses from any borrowing, and similar expenses, and are normally expected to be low compared to mutual funds with more conventional expense structures. The Portfolios would also bear any extraordinary expenses.

2

The operating expenses for shares of each Portfolio are shown as a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets and are estimated because the class did not have full calendar year of operations. These estimates are based on each Portfolio's actual operating expenses for its most recently completed fiscal year.

3

Prior to May 1, 2003 the Service Class of shares of this fund were available through the policy. Effective May 1, 2003 the Institutional Class of fund shares replaced the Service Class of fund shares. Institutional Class shares have 0.25% lower total fund expenses than the Service Class shares, and the effect of this transaction is to give policy owners an investment in the same fund managed by the same investment adviser at a lower cost.

A portion of the brokerage commissions that the Marsico Growth, MFS Mid Cap Growth, MFS Total Return, T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation and T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolios pay is used to reduce each Portfolio’s expenses. Including these reductions and MFS management fee waiver, the "Total Net Annual Fund Expenses" for each Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2002 would have been 0.72%, 0.59%, 0.64%, 0.69%, 0.68%, respectively. This arrangement may be discontinued at any time.

5

Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI") has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for the MFS Mid Cap Growth and MFS Total Return Portfolios. Including these waivers, the "Total Net Annual Fund Expenses" for each Portfolio for the year ended December 31,2002, would have been 0.65% and 0.65%, respectively. This arrangement may be discontinued by DSI at any time.

6

The fees and expenses shown in the above table are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year.
